Boy Forced to Remove Leg Braces by TSA
OK. Now this is crossing the line.
The 4-year-old son of a New Jersey police officer was told he could not pass through security at the airport unless he removed his metal leg braces. The family was on their way to Walt Disney World in Orlando to celebrate the boy's fourth birthday. His dad, Bob Thomas, says son Ryan is developmentally delayed and wears the braces because his ankles are malformed and his legs have low muscle tone -- effects of his premature birth sixteen weeks early. Ryan was just starting to walk when this happened.
According to the Philadelphia Inquirer's Daniel Rubin, the Thomas family arrived several hours before their flight. Mr. Thomas pushed Ryan's stroller to the TSA checkpoint and put it on the conveyor belt. Thomas' wife, Leona, walked Ryan through the metal detector, setting off the alarm. Thomas then says the TSA worker told them to take off Ryan's plastic-and-metal braces. "I told them he can't walk without them on his own," Thomas said. "[The TSA agent] said, 'He'll need to take them off.' "
Leona asked if she could walk her son through the detector after the braces were removed. That request was denied. She was told the boy had to walk on his own.
The family followed instructions, and Ryan made it through the detector. But his parents were furious. Bob demanded to speak with a supervisor, telling the official, "This is overkill. He's 4 years old. I don't think he's a terrorist.' " The supervisor replied, "You know why we're doing this." A cop himself, Thomas complained to the airport manager -- and then went to the press. "This was just stupid," he said.
Now the TSA has apologized to the Thomas family. A TSA spokesperson said the little boy should not have had to remove his braces, and acknowledged that there are other ways to screen those with disabilities. TSA policy allows for those with special needs -- such as braces -- to be taken to a private area and be screened there.
Yes, the TSA is supposed to keep us -- and the skies -- safe, but this is ridiculous. Do you have any TSA horror stories?
Totally outrageous. They wouldn't make a grown man get out of a wheelchair if he couldn't walk. Some people are just plain stupid. I'm all for security, but have some common sense people!
God that's horrible. How heartless could a person be? I know I would find some way of screening around the disability. The guy just wanted to be a jerk. I hope he gets fired.
I understand having the boy take them off but to make him walk through the metal detector without any assistance is absurd. TSA wonders why they have a bad name? (sarcasm)
Sue them! I would totally sue them and get that jerk fired! There is absolutely a line they crossed. Snap back and make sure it stings so they think long and hard before trying some BS move like this again!
How about they start doing background checks on the people that purchase airline tickets, and make a rule that people with ANY affiliation to terrorists are not allowed to fly. 4-yr olds with disabilities are clearly NOT the risk! How stupid can they be-sheesh! TSA is too worried about offending healthy able-bodied adults, and insulting families with already enough difficulty in their lives!
This is absolutely reasonable. The TSA is on a limited budget, and can't afford to give everyone preferential treatment. And do you really think a terrorist would be above hiding bombs in his child's leg braces? I think not.
yes its a little ridiculous but if they start telling the agents who can get away with what we'd have a crisis. and by the way - whats with all of this "sue them" mentality. Make a point so it changes others experiences but for christs sake you dont need money to get your point across.
Henry - the point is that they CAN afford it; despite being on a limited budget there are already protocols established which provide for alternate screening in cases just like this. The policies which are ALREADY IN PLACE were simply ignored in this situation by an individual TSA agent. Higher-ups in the TSA have acknowledged that this was done in error and that the situation was significantly mishandled.
I think Henry is being facecious (probably spelled wrong). And I think we can all agree that this was beyond absurd, and we'd all be past furious if that was our child. I read elsewhere that if the father hadn't been a law officer himself, they probably would've detained him and made him miss his flight. Don't forget, you're not allowed to be angry anymore either.
This is not the first non sense I read about airport security and childrens. That's totaly skyzophrenic to deny human comppassion and comon sense to obey fears. What to do in front of a choking news ? "Damn, that's awful" nothing much more. Only way out, look into the source of fear. Power of terorism is way too exegerated imho.
Henry, I don't think you read the entire article. The real point was that the little boy was forced to walk through the metal detectors without his braces and without assistance from his mother. Having someone remove braces to inspect them is one thing but forcing an individual to walk without their cane, braces or without any type of assistance from an individual when they are clearly disabled is just ridiculous.
My MIL worked as a TSA screener— she says that the whole thing is just a farce anyway— of course, I wouldn't have, but if I had been that mom I would have imagined wrapping those braces around the TSA agents neck….
I'm not usually one for suing but they should file a lawsuit for emotional distress, and failure to comply with procedures for disabled people. I personally would not have taken the braces off I would have held up the line waiting for the supervisor. This family needs to be all over the news with this and that agent should be fired!! TSA has crossed the line this time the president needs to step in and do something because this type of thing is becoming more and more common. How about if we just don't let people from certain countries across our border, then it wont be a problem!
This is totally outrageous. I have flown with my child who also wears leg braces, and not once did anyone ask us to make her walk, with or without them. She was "wanded" off to the side, while still in the stroller. The stroller itself was also checked, but it was not invasive or dehumanizing. TSA could have done better. Supposing the child could not have walked thru?
I can do one better. Disabled mom traveling with two disabled children. One eight year old, is paralyzed from the waist down and has spina bifida. He is in a wheelchair. Due to his many many surgeries he has developed severe separation anxiety disorder. He was taken after I said a firm "NO" and told the idiots he needed a family member with him. I ran through the detecter, set off alarms because I have hardware in my spine. I rushed to my son's side. They had him bent over in his chair and were feeling up his back. He was crying and almost to the pt of vomiting he was so afraid. I ended up getting frisked. My twelve year old who is paralyzed from the knees down was asked to remove her leg braces and walk through. We refused, She can not walk without her braces and then short distance. It appears we have terrorist among us in the form of our TSA agents at airports. They are terrorizing families of and with disabled children.
Today - 8-4-10 we took my older daughter's friend to DCA to fly back to Florida - her friend was flying alone and we asked for a gate pass for the family which was granted.
My youngest daughter is a trauma victim and severely developmentally delayed and travels in crowded places in a convaid wheelchair stroller AND her service dog. Normally before we go through the metal detectors I stripe her service dog's collar and harness off and then put him in a down and call him through the detectors. Then my husband puts my whopping 49 ib on his back (Piggy back) and in this way she is not too traumatized by the event and is reunited with her dog within seconds of me goting through then her coming through to meet us.
Before we could figure out what was going to happen, a TSA agent took the wheelchair stroller from my husband and pushed it into a glass box - effectively separating my daughter from not only her service animal but also the entire family. She is a trauma victim and has had every kind of abuse a child could endure before we adopted her. She can not speak but does understand what is said to her. My daughter thought she was being taken away from us and was so terriorized by what happened she went into a fetal position in her chair. When I got to her I was not allowed to touch her and I told the agent again she was a trauma victim and would not allow her to touch her. She said she much allow her to wand her fingers and who knows what else. Mind you - we were not even boarding a plane — so I said I would take my daughter's friend to the gate and my husband could just take her out - but they wouldn't let us leave or touch her — this has regressed my daughter and we are going to be dealing with the ramifications of this encounter for weeks and weeks. I asked the agent for a CRO and she refused —- then finally a supervisor got to us — I have never seen this happen but the supervisor was moved to "Tears" when he saw what had happened to us — he was the only agent out of the 6-8 agents that were dealing with passengers at the gate that had a brain in his head and realized what these total idiots were doing — they had NO sensitivity or idea on how to handle a disabled passenger — let alone a child with severe disabilities. And again we weren't even getting on the airplane - All but the supervisor were incompetent and as a result of this encounter we are not goint to be able to fly for some time to come until we can help my daughter heal from being re-traumatized by these "screeners". Plus I believe their own regulations stipulate you never separate a service dog from their partner
TSA employees obviously all have GED's.
Can I make a suggestion? I think youve got something good here. But what if you added a couple links to a page that backs up what youre saying? Or maybe you could give us something to look at, something that would connect what youre saying to something tangible? Just a suggestion.

The following is a 'snaphot' taken May 2012. In particular, the numerical stats used May 10, 2012 as a sample, but the values are similar from day to day. The features discussed here are modified over time and later updates will be needed.
The Q2 system obtains HADS gauges from NCEP via a ftp site that allows anonymous public login at ftpprd.ncep.noaa.gov. Upon entering the site, a change of directory is made to pub/data1/nccf/com/ingest/prod. At this point, there will be another layer of daily sub-directories with the name pattern 'shf.YYYYMMDD'. Typically, these directories exist for the past 30 days. The 'shf' in the directory name refers to the data being in the SHEF format.
Each daily sub-directory contains a handful of files, but the easiest to track is the one named 'hrly.prcp.day.MMDD'. Note that the time stamp does not contain the year. Since this archive only goes back one month, there is no confusion about what is the corresponding year. This file gets written in 3 hr intervals a total of 10 times. Each time the file gets larger as more data is appended – while data from former version is always still present. The file is first written about 03:15 UTC on the date in question. The initial file runs about 1.7 Mb, and contains 1 hr gauge accumulations for times ending 00:00 to about 03:08 UTC. The gauge reports are always 1 hr accumulations, but the ending time can be anytime during the day. Most of them (currently ~80%) are reports ending on the hour, so that first file write has many reports for hours ending 00:00, 01:00, 02:00, and 03:00 UTC. But every minute in between has some reports and the most recent report in the 03:15 UTC file write will only be 5 -10 minutes old.
This file is over-written 3 hours later at about 06:15 UTC with a new version. This file is about twice as big (3.5 Mb). It will contain all the previous 00:00-03:08 UTC reports contained in the first version, plus a significant number of new reports. Most of these are for the most recent three hours (reports ending 04:00 – 06:08), but there will also be new reports from earlier in the day that first show up here. This pattern continues as the file is over-written 8 more times at three hour intervals; at 09:15, 12:15, 15:15, 18:15, 21:15 UTC that same day and 00:15 and 03:15 and 06:15 the following day. By the end the file is up to about 14 Mb.
The following figure shows the pattern of new reports. For simplicity, only the gauges that report on the top of the hour are included here. This is about 80% of all the gauge reports in the file. Again this is a snapshot from 5/10/2012. Each new run contains mostly new reports for the last 3-4 hours, but there is also a small number of older reports (up to 18 hrs old). The numbers in the main table in black are the total number of gauge reports in the file up to that point, while the number in red are just the count of those that are new for this file update.
In the blog post the figure text is fairly small since the image is sized to fit the region, but your browser should provide a simple method for viewing a full-size version of the image. For instance, in Google Chrome, right click on the image and select 'Open image in new tab' for a much better view.

"I love the design and was very happy with the quality of the paper. People who received the invitation commented how cute it was!"
"Just received the cards; they were better than expected. Thick, quality paper. I splurged for the iridescent paper but due to the background color of the card, the pearlescent quality does not show up, so I wouldn't spring for that for this particular card. The regular card stock will do. Overall, happy with the card."
"I ordered this for my daughter's first birthday party, and I couldn't be happier. The quality is top notch, and I love the personalized number on the cupcake."
"I loved tiny prints designs and the choices they allowed for editing your personalized invites. The quality of the product was excellent and it was delivered in a timely manner. I definitely will be using them again!"
"My Sisters 10th Birthday is coming up and we are having it at bounceinc, and this was this was a perfect card for a bouncing party. Everyone thought the card was cute and loved it. Also great shipping came in 1 week and came in very good quality. Thank You Tiny Prints...!!!"

About Dawson Raymo
I am the nephew of the owners of this property and am managing the rental of the Descente Lodge. Our family has spent many fun filled weeks at DeScente Lodge with our cousins over the past twenty five years, enjoying the wonderful ambiance of the Lake Placid area.
DeScente Lodge was the residence for the Japanese Olympic delegation during the 1980 Winter Olympics. The Brazill family from New Jersey bought the lodge after the Olympics and have spent many Christmas and summer vacations there with their 8 children and grandchildren since that time.
Dawson Raymo purchased this lodge in 1980
Why Dawson Raymo chose Lake Placid
DeScente Lodge is a perfect spot for a vacation any time of the year. Whiteface Mountain Ski Resort is a 7 minute drive, Lake Placid Village is a 5 minute drive, and there is great hiking, fishing, swimming, boating, golfing, shopping, dining, within 10 minutes of the Lodge. The lodge offers the privacy of a country hideaway, yet is within minutes of everything the Adirondack Mountains have to offer. Riverside Drive is the route used by many athletes for their daily training; it's a great road to bike, walk or jog. Just get up in the morning and do your workout on the road outside your door.
What makes this lodge unique
DeScente Lodge is a perfect place to spend a long weekend or full week with a group of people who love to hang out together at the house or go different ways during the day and meet back at the house in the evening to share drinks, dinner and stories of that day's mountain climbing, golf , boating, or shopping adventures!

After putting Nine Inch Nails on indefinite hiatus only to come back 3 years later with a brand new album and tour, Reznor seems less like a tortured soul and more like a grizzled survivor. That's not to say that he's lost anything as a performer; anyone who caught NIN at Lollapalooza this year can attest that the band is perhaps more captivating now than they've ever been. Reznor has a raging back catalog that begs for reinvention, and he's pairing that with ultra-confident new songs enhanced by a gripping stage show. NIN has been a big tent draw for two decades, and even if you've seen them multiple times before, the renewed focus has made this tour a "must see" event. With Explosions in the Sky.

PARIS--French Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault said telecom equipment firm Alcatel-Lucent (ALU.FR) must revise its plan to cut jobs in France.
Alcatel-Lucent Tuesday said it will slash 10,000 jobs, or about 15% of its global workforce, in a bid to reshape the company around some of its core businesses such as internet routing and to help stem losses. In France, 900 jobs will be cut, and another 900 may be shifted internally or outsourced.
"I ask for the management project to be revised," Mr. Ayrault said Wednesday in an interview with local radio station Europe1. "We ask the company to open talks to save the maximum number of jobs and a maximum of sites; if there is no agreement, the plan won't be approved."
"We want to reduce the number of job losses," he added.
Mr. Ayrault blamed Alcatel-Lucent's management for the company's woes, following similar comments from Industry Minister Arnaud Montebourg.

He threw the bottle to get the ref's attention because a fan had thrown a rally towel on the ice and the ref didn't see it. Leave it to the media to make something out of nothing! Had nothing to do with the formation on the ice. Why would you make that up?

PLAYERS: Brad Marchand
TEAMS: Boston Bruins
TEAMS: Boston Bruins
Boston Bruins forward Brad Marchand threw a water bottle on the ice before the overtime faceoff during Monday night's Game 7 at the TD Garden against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Bruins coach Claude Julien didn't like the way his players were lined up for the faceoff, but couldn't get the attention of his players, so Marchand tossed the water bottle onto the ice to force the officials to blow the whistle and have his teammates reset. Marchand was not assessed with a delay of game penalty. Video via HockeyVideoHD. Visit us at holdoutsports.com and follow us on Twitter @HoldoutSports.

One moment, one event — three completely different outcomes. From esteemed director Krzysztof Kieślowski comes a film examining the effects of even the smallest of choices. A young medical student's life is forever changed by three subtle variations of the same innocuous episode: he does or does not catch a Warsaw-bound train, and subsequently, he either becomes a leading and progressively disenchanted Communist Party functionary, is arrested and sent to a labor camp where his anti-Party ire is stoked, or returns to his life in Łódź and becomes a family man. A poetic fable that touches on the elusive ambiguities of chance and fate, Blind Chance was heavily censored by the communist regime, due to its anti-Party messages, and was withheld for release for six years. The now-restored version of the film includes scenes never before shown to the public.
1987, 123 minutes, color, DCP | Written and directed by Krzysztof Kieślowski; with Boguslaw Linda, Tadeusz Lomnicki, Zbigniew Zapasiewicz, Boguslawa Pawelec, Marzena Trybala.
A Short Film About Killing
On a grey March day, the paths of three men cross in the same café as idealistic lawyer Piotr celebrates passing his bar exam while 20-year-old Jacek prepares to murder cabbie Marian. Krzysztof Kieślowski's unflinching film is a psychological and ethical study of murder, both by individuals and by the State. "A horror film in which the killer is human nature itself," per critic Rob Nelson, A Short Film about Killing employs Sławomir Idziak's meticulous, heavily filtered cinematography to accentuate its grim ambience. A dual prize winner at Cannes, A Short Film about Killing expanded on a chapter of Kieślowski's acclaimed Decalogue series and opened the door to an international career for the director that included works such as The Double Life of Véronique and the Three Colors trilogy.
1988, 86 minutes, color, DCP | Written by Krzysztof Piesiewicz , Krzysztof Kieślowski; directed by Krzysztof Kieslowski; with Miroslaw Baka, Krzysztof Globisz, Jan Tesarz, Zbigniew Zapasiewicz, Barbara Dziekan, Aleksander Bednarz.
Martin Scorsese has curated a selection of landmark Polish films, all newly restored, from some of the country's most accomplished and lauded filmmakers, such as Andrzej Wajda, Krzysztof Kieślowski, Krzysztof Zanussi, Jerzy Kawalerowicz and Wojciech Has. Zanussi will appear in person as the Academy launches the series on May 2 with a screening of two of his films: the acidic college comedy Camouflage and the stirring drama The Constant Factor. The remaining series spans 1957–1987 and encompasses the mind-bending absurdism of The Hourglass Sanatorium, the noir-tinted existentialism of Night Train, the New Wave eccentricities of Innocent Sorcerers, the period elegance of The Promised Land and much more. In partnership with the Cinefamily, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will screen 19 of Scorsese's 21 selections across two venues and over two months.
Organized by Propaganda Foundation, DI Factory, CRF and The Film Foundation, in cooperation with Kino RP, Milestone Films, Tor, Zebra and Kadr, with the support of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage of the Republic of Poland, the Polish Film Institute and the Polish National Audiovisual Institute.
The series runs from May 2 through June 24. For more screenings, please visit our Events page.

Tue Jul 20, 2010 11:41 am Norwood, once the starter in Atlanta, was bypassed by Snelling on the depth chart. Norwood had double-digit carries on three different occasions last season, but he cleared 50 yards rushing only once. He also scored one TD.

The Philadelphia 76ers will retire the jersey of Allen Iverson on Saturday night – a night where members of the current team will wear a #3 shooting shirt during pre-game festivities and will wear a patch honoring the Sixers legend during the game.
The 76ers posted a picture of the patch on their Instagram account.
There's no doubt that Iverson has had a wild career off the court since his post-Philadelphia days, but to their credit, the Sixers have never stopped supporting their former franchise player.
Iverson spent parts of 12 seasons with the Sixers after being drafted first overall by the Sixers in 1996 out of Georgetown.
There were constant battled with then head coach Larry Brown and Iverson refused to become the cookie cutter talent so many other top NBA players were molded into, a stance which seemingly only increased his popularity which included nine All-Star appearances.
A.I. lead the Sixers to the NBA Finals during the 2000-2001 season, averaging 24 points during his career with the 76ers.
A very well deserved honor for one of the games special talents.

PathWays BodyTalk with Kerrin McIntosh
About Us

What is BodyTalk?
The main principle of the BodyTalk System™ is that the body has the ability and wisdom to heal itself. It is a health care system complex enough to incorporate the latest in western medical research, the insights of quantum physics and mathematics, the energy dynamics of acupuncture, the philosophy of chiropractic and traditional Chinese medicine, yet it is also as simple as ABC — Ask the body, Balance the imbalances, and restore Communication.
How does it work?
The practitioner uses muscle testing for yes and no answers as well as an extensive protocol to locate the areas of the body that aren't communicating properly. When the priority areas are determined, the BodyTalk Practitioner uses balancing techniques to re-establish the communication and function of these parts, allowing the body to heal and repair itself.
BodyTalk is simple, safe, and has quick results. This unique system offers long lasting, on-going improvements in health rather than short-term symptomatic relief.
The BodyTalk System™ was created by Dr. John Veltheim, an Australian chiropractor, acupuncturist, philosopher, Reiki master, teacher and author. He also extensively studied applied kinesiology, bio-energetic psychology, osteopathy, sports medicine, counseling, comparative philosophy and theology.

Re: GTA Mafia Game Thread
Night 7
Night time! The time for the mafia to do what they do best; kill people. And with the bodyguard dead, who could stop them? No one?
Mikhail Faustin stepped out onto the street grinning. The crazy bastard loved the thrill of being the killer.
He got in his car and drove like a manic straight for Avery Carrington, who was stepping out of his house on the way to his limo when Faustins car struck him smashing into him. He was dead instantly, but Mikhail got out and unloaded the uzi into his dead body, just for fun.
Magsfan was:
Congratulations, you are
Avery Carrington, innocent aligned
You win when all mafia and individuals are dead.
You love to show that youre in control, that you have power. You also love to intimidate people, yet you arent always as silent. Each night, you may PM the moderators a name of a player, who you want to watch. The result given, will be if hes targeting someone or not, and if so, who hes targeting. Be careful, however. The fact that youre not the most silent or serene of persons, may not be the most positive of characteristics.
Editors note: The player he targets will be informed he was targeted by Avery.
Another important innocent dead, and now they were in trouble. The mafia were amost in control..was it too late to stop them..and what had happened to the McReary day killer? Would he strike again?
Also MODKILL:
Tr1 was sucking cock..and choked on a big one ( fuck you for not posting)
He was:
Congratulations, you are
Willy, Love Fist aligned.
You are a part of the LEGENDARY and ultra-awesome rockband, Love Fist. In order to win, you, and your fellow Love Fist members, have to complete a song. To do this, you can post one sentence of the song below per day phase. Each member of your band can do so, so that the group can post up to four lines per day phase. Your fellow Love Fist buddies are Jezz(don.corleone), Dick(Ownage) and Percy(Nov).

My name is Keith Radmore and I am a Facilities Manager on the Independence of the Seas. So what does a Facilities Manager do? Well, I am responsible for a myriad of things including the cleanliness of the ship, managing the operation of the pool decks, including the very popular H2O Zone water park for our younger guests, and the maintenance of technical equipment in the laundry, galleys and water systems.
Each and every day is different, and I am always confronted with various challenges, which makes my role extremely interesting. So when I was asked if I would like to share my experiences, of course I said yes. So here we go, I will try and paint a picture of what we do and why we do it.
The day for me normally starts at about 6:00 AM, and this is when I make sure that the preparations for the day are all in place and we are ready to provide the best possible service to our guests and, of course, the crew. Working at the 'back of House' means we are predominantly in a supporting role but we do, on occasions, help our guests directly with specific needs to ensure their vacation is memorable. First on the list is the morning brief with my maintenance team. This is when we go over what has happened overnight and the various repair jobs, or just regular maintenance that needs to be done, allocate priorities and agree on timescales. One of the highest priorities is the galleys. We have nine galleys from the smallest Café up to our main galleys that cater to approximately 3,700 guests every cruise and produce up to 20,000 plates of food a day. The main galleys incorporate grills, ovens, steamers, water heaters, mixers, cutters and of course the huge dish and pot wash machines. All of which need maintaining, and for this I have a dedicated team of two people. I know, sounds like a small team for such a large area, but they are very good at what they do.
After the brief, it is time for my morning stroll. Sounds nice, but what I am doing is walking the whole ship checking that everything is where it should be, nothing is broken, the open deck and pool areas are all ready and we are set for the day ahead. This is the best part of my day. I get to speak with a lot of my team and see the fruits of the hard work put in by my night team ensuring that everywhere has been cleaned and the ship is sparkling before our guests rise for breakfast. However, it's not all nice sunrises and balmy seas. Independence of the Seas is based in Southampton on the south coast of England in the U.K. all year round, so the winter months have a whole different set of challenges. Particularly from a maintenance point of view, when the open decks are exposed to some quite extreme weather conditions.
Of course, no job would not be complete without the administrative element, and I set aside an hour or two most mornings to keep on top of the day-to-day business. At the same time I will look at the future to plan and arrange for various projects. These could involve outside contractors, or maybe our own visiting maintenance teams, to ensure that the ship stays looking her best at all times both inside and out.
My afternoon is spent doing inspections of technical areas, including those systems that you don't really like talking much about, you know, the toilets and waste systems. But they are just as important as the laundry, galleys or pools and my team works hard to ensure that they are all working perfectly, or as close as we can get to perfection. After the technical walk through, it's time for, yes you guessed it, another walk around the ship. This time with my Cleaning Specialist, during which we will identify areas that we need to focus on and review what we have managed to achieve over the past twenty-four hours. This is where I can see the condition of the furniture in our public lounges for example, so that we can gauge the wear and order material for my upholsterers to work their magic and keep the furniture looking like new.
One of the final things left to do is meet with the cleaning and pool night teams to discuss the operation and focus areas for the quiet hours. These teams are extremely important, as their task is to get the ship sparkling and the open decks ready for the next day.
Finally, it's paperwork time again. Catch up on those e-mails that have been lingering too long, checking what is happening tomorrow, next week, and next month and putting all the details into the plan.
Every day is different in Facilities. The other night I was called out at about 4:30 PM for a burst hot water line outside guest staterooms on a formal night. The standard procedure was to isolate the hot water from over 40 guest staterooms. Following this course of action, the repair would have taken about two hours, thereby upsetting about 40 female guests trying to get ready for formal night; not a good situation. With the guests in mind, we managed to fabricate a temporary repair and restore hot water within thirty five minutes; making the line of female guests behind me and my team very happy. The full repair was done at a time when we would not impact our guests or their vacation.
I hope I have given you an insight into my role, and that of my team, as we strive to maintain the Independence of the Seas, a great ship and vacation destination.

Even though I worked 10 hours I still went into my spare room for a resistance workout. Go me!
Hi, I'm Misty. My friends call me GeekGirl, and Iron Misty. I was once nearly 200 pounds, and now I've lost about 35 pounds.
I've also gone from being completley sedentary to running marathons and doing triathlons. My longest run is a 50K (31-miles) and my longest triathlons are 2 Ironman triathlons (2.4 mile swim, 112-mile bike, and 26.2 mile run.)
Recently, I went back to school to earn my master's degree, and then quit my job as a high school teacher and became a licensed mental health counselor and life coach.

On September 12, 2014, Future of Music Coalition submitted the following comments to the United States Copyright Office in its second request for comments regarding its Music Licensing Study.
I. Introduction
Future of Music Coalition (FMC) is pleased to submit the following to the Copyright Office in its Second Request for Comments in its Music Licensing Study. read more
Today, news broke that Merlin—a global rights agency representing independent labels—entered into a deal with Internet radio leader Pandora that seems to align the incentives of both parties while maintaining direct payment to artists.
Overall, we are glad to see a major music service commit to better serving indies using technology, and with a shared goal of growing audiences for that music (and thereby generating more revenue).
FMC is pleased to submit the following comments to the Department of Justice (DOJ) Antitrust Division regarding the agency's review of the Antitrust Consent Decrees for the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) and Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI).
Moreover, FMC appreciates the opportunity to address the persistent issues songwriters and independent music publishers face under the Consent Decrees, particularly a lack of transparency and failure to balance interests in the licensing of musical works for public performance, as well as barriers of entry for independent songwriters, publishers, and music platforms.
FMC commends the DOJ for reviewing the Consent Decrees and also commends the agency's commitment to maintaining healthy competition within the licensing of musical works for public performance. Despite some differences with ASCAP, BMI, and the major consolidated music publishers, we are encouraged that many in this space have expressed their desire to nurture songwriters and expand transparency. We see the DOJ's review of the Antitrust Consent Decrees as an important opportunity to highlight issues with consolidation of the music industry, the need for fair compensation and stronger protections for songwriters, as well as the importance of ASCAP and BMI to a functional music industry that serves the needs of creators.
FMC's comments will address the specific questions raised by the DOJ in soliciting public comment for the review.
General Comments for the Review of the ASCAP and BMI Antitrust Consent Decrees
Do the Consent Decrees continue to serve important competitive purposes today? Why or why not? Are there provisions that are no longer necessary to protect competition? Are there provisions that are ineffective in protecting competition? read more
Regular readers will be familiar with FMC's position on artist compensation, including our support of efforts to have songwriter and composer royalties better reflect their creative contributions. (Keep in mind that songwriters aren't necessarily performers or recording artists, which means they rely on royalties from the music they composed and/or the lyrics they've written.) read more
It used to be that big companies were able to define the parameters for debate about music industry issues, and make all the big decisions. What was good for corporate media and big money, we were told, was good for the artists, and for the music industry as a whole.
The desire to tell a more complete and accurate story centered on the needs and experiences of musicians was a big part of why Future of Music Coalition got started 14 years ago. By now, more people understand that the agendas of a handful of giant music companies may sometimes align with artists, but not always. In fact, these companies are very capable of misdirection when it benefits their bottom line. And tech companies don't have a lot of experience working directly with artists, in part because the existing structures so often compel big-money negotiations with the major rightsholders. Today, we're thrilled to see more and more artists speaking openly about the issues that impact their livelihoods. Independent labels are getting bolder too, in demanding fair treatment and respect for their different way of doing business.

The House Judiciary Subcommittee on Courts, Intellectual Property and the Internet held its second hearing on music licensing on June 25, welcoming input from a variety of interest groups and organizations as a continuation of the ongoing reexamination of our country's copyright system. You can find our coverage of the prior hearing here.
Nine witnesses testified before the committee, offering opinions that varied in focus but all highlighted major areas of potential reform. Witnesses for this hearing included singer/songwriter Rosanne Cash representing the Americana Music Association, Cary Sherman (CEO of the Recording Industry Association of America, or RIAA), Charles Warfield on behalf of the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB), Darius Van Arman on behalf of the American Association of Independent Music (A2IM), Ed Christian of the Radio Music License Committee (RMLC), Paul Williams as President of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP), Chris Harrison of Pandora, President of SoundExchange Michael Huppe, and David Frear, CFO of Sirius XM.
You may have heard that the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) is investigating potential anticompetitive behavior by major music publishers and Performing Rights Organizations (PROs), which collect and distribute royalties to songwriters and publishers for the performance of musical compositions. These "blanket licenses" are made possible by DOJ consent decrees and cover all forms of broadcast as well as concert venues or other establishments that publicly perform music (think bars or restaurants).
Make no mistake, PROs are crucially important to songwriters. They provide leverage to artists who wouldn't otherwise have it in rate negotiations with music services; they pay their songwriter members directly under fair splits (50-50 between artist and publisher); and they allow music to be efficiently licensed to AM/FM, Internet and satellite radio, which means listeners have more opportunities to hear music, and songwriters have more opportunities to get paid.
Yesterday (June 25, 2014), the House Subcommittee on Courts, Intellectual Property and the Internet held yet another hearing in its ongoing review of existing copyright law. (Our full recap is here; check out our coverage of the full series of hearings here.) Today, we'll focus on one particular topic that has come up repeatedly in Congress and elsewhere: the lack of federal copyright protections for recordings made before February 15, 1972. read more

Henry Miller, A Literate Passion, Letters of Anais Nin And Henry Miller, 1932-1953. Via. Via.
(via fette)
As Dada marches it continuously destroys, not in extension but in itself. From all these disgusts, may I add, it draws no conclusion, no pride, no benefit. It has even stopped combating anything, in the realization that it's no use, that all this doesn't matter. What interests a Dadaist is his own mode of life. But here we approach the great secret.
Dada is a state of mind. That is why it transforms itself according to races and events. Dada applies itself to everything, and yet it is nothing, it is the point where the yes and the no and all the opposites meet, not solemnly in the castles of human philosophies, but very simply at street corners, like dogs and grasshoppers.
Like everything in life, Dada is useless.
Dada is without pretension, as life should be.
Perhaps you will understand me better when I tell you that Dada is a virgin microbe that penetrates with the insistence of air into all the spaces that reason has not been able to fill with words or conventions."—Tristan Tzara, Lecture on Dada (1922)
To others, the universe seems decent because decent people have gelded eyes. That is why they fear lewdness. They are never frightened by the crowing of a rooster or when strolling under a starry heaven. In general, people savor the "pleasures of the flesh" only on condition that they be insipid.
But as of then, no doubt existed for me: I did not care for what is known as "pleasures of the flesh" because they really are insipid; I cared only for what is classified as "dirty." On the other hand, I was not even satisfied with the usual debauchery, because the only thing it dirties is debauchery itself, while, in some way or other, anything sublime and perfectly pure is left intact by it. My kind of debauchery soils not only my body and my thoughts, but also anything I may conceive in its course, that is to say, the vast starry universe, which merely serves as a backdrop."—Georges Bataille, The Story of the Eye
Unica Zürn, Der Mann im Jasmin [The Man of Jasmine], 1977.
