253 mg/dl… Hmmm… I pull out my pump – again being sure that the pump tubing was showing. Beep, beep, beep – dialing in the correction bolus.
"Excuse me, NICOLE – you need to stop TEXTING now."
I'm taken aback. "Um…" I utter.
The meeting leader interrupts "Now. Please stop TEXTING."
My face is scarlet as I croak "I'm not TEXTING…" Placing the same enunciation on the last word as the leader had. "I'm –" I only get half of the m out…
"It sure looks like you're texting there. Care to share what you ARE doing???"
I'm not able to curb my aggravation as I say "Not particularly. But I guess I don't have much choice, I'm GIVING INSULIN for DIABETES."
"Oh. Well can you mute that thing? Does it have a manner mode?"
"No I can't mute this thing." My voice is now edging toward out and out angry sounding. And I say this last not because I've forgotten how to put my pump on vibrate, but because I want this guy to know he's being a total jerk. "It's not a phone."
By now, I've finished bolusing and put my pump back in its pocket. My face is as red as the tip of the white-board marker the leader waves around in his hand. I look up at the leader as he says, almost under his breath "FINISHED?"
"Yeah, I'm finished," I say.
And the class continues on.
At lunch break, the woman next to me says "I can't believe he DID that. I just can't believe it. Are you alright?"
"Sure am," I say, "this disease can be a pain sometimes."
"I guess it can." She says. "He's lucky you kept your cool, isn't he?"
"I guess," I say, "But he won't be lucky when I contact HR tomorrow."
"Atta girl!!" She says, smiling at me.
"Atta girl!!" I think as I thank her – my grin wide.
I had a nice conversation with my HR Rep the next day – explaining what had happened. She promised to have a conversation with the trainer, an outside consultant they bring in for workshops like the one I was taking. I felt better having voiced my concerns.
But, man, in those two minutes, I could've exploded.
Sure, calling someone out if they're doing something rude in a meeting is something I'd expect – something I fully support. But not giving a person the chance to explain what they are doing – and then making an issue of the noise it's causing – even when you know the noise is related to a medical condition is just ridiculous.
Anybody out there had any issues at work related to diabetes or care that needs to happen at inopportune times or people who just don't seem to understand that what you're doing isn't optional?

What a jerk.
I remember back when I was using my first pump - a Disetronic H-Tron+. Each button press was 1/2 of a unit. For a ten unit bolus I would have to press the button 20 times, then listen to it echo those 20 presses back to me.
Very disruptive. But I've never had anyone call me out on it. I hate being put on the spot too - and am impressed with how you handled it.

Grrrrr. I'm taking a deep breath here to keep from getting worked up.
Damn him!

You handled it very well. I wouldn't have been able to control my anger like that.

During grad school I used to sit near the door just in case I needed to leave to take care of anything (alarming pump, hypo, etc).
One day the prof. made a joke about how I always sat near the door because I 'couldn't wait' to get out of his class - I must really hate it.
I was so mad but have never been quick on the 'comeback'. I sent him an e-mail later explaining my situation.
He felt really bad, especially since he and his wife are advocates for minorities. He volunteered to apologize in front of the class. I figured most of the class knew I was diabetic (we ate meals together) and it was better to leave it alone.
His embarrassment and private apology were enough for me.

Oh ick, I don't know what I would do if someone ever said that to me. I tend to be the epitome of incongruously whipping out my pump. I keep it in my bra, too, so generally they see me digging in my shirt FIRST and then beeping LATER. I know ,I know, totally unprofessional….I should really do something about that.

When I first started working at the library, a coworker turned around and said what is that (in an accusatory way). We do not allow cell phones to be on in the library so when I take boluses or adjust a basal, I get attention. Most everyone knows now but it was hard at the beginning. Actually my first day of work here 6 years ago, my pump totally conked out and I had to buy new batteries. I almost had a heart attack that day.

Scott - Total jerk. And the training stunk.
Shannon - At least his training stunk. Could've been an otherwise good guy, with a lot to contribute - but he wasn't, so I had no qualms at all talking with HR about him. Jerk.
Elizabeth - Thanks. I so wanted to be more fiery... Must have been having an off day... LOL
Sara - It would have made it better had he apologized in anyway - but he didn't.
Sarah - I think pulling it out of my bra and then "TEXTING" would have been totally funny.
Maura - Good Lord - when my pump loses battery power, it makes a very high pitched, siren like sound... That musn't have been a good day...

Oh. My. God. I would have lost it. I'm glad you went to HR and I hope he gets his ass chewed out but good.

- Paige said...
OH MY GOD. Aside from everything else, even if you were texting, why was this guy talking to you like you were twelve? Jerk.
- Monday, April 09, 2007
- Kelsey said...
Wow, you handled that very well!
What a complete ass... I wish we could all be flies on the wall when the HR Rep talks to him. He should be ashamed of himself.

hFunny, I thought of "12" too. As in, there's nothing like being treated like you're 12 to make you enthused about work. Geez!
- Monday, April 09, 2007
- Bernard said...
I agree with everyone who's already commented. The guy was a real eejit (Irish euphemism). Good for you for standing up to him.
I've not experienced something like that before. But then I'll happily tell everyone what's going on.
Now the Dexcom that I'm using buzzes very loudly when the high or low alarm is triggered. It can be a little disruptive. But I can deal with that.

that is absolutely ridiculous ... i was in one of my college classes about 3 weeks ago and was feeling pretty off. normally i just check my sugar on the table and do whatever but since we had a speaker i placed my meter in my lap and started checking my sugar. well right as i'm putting blood on the strip the lady stops what she's doing and really loudly says, "could you possibly be any more rude? i really don't appreciate you playing with your cell phone in the middle of my presentation. why don't you just leave class?" i was so embarrassed, and to add to it, my professor who i've had for 2 classes and knows that i'm diabetic didn't even stick up for me ... she laughed. and to make it even worse after i told the speaker that i was diabetic - she used me for every example for the rest of her presentation, talked about her dad's type two diabetes, and told me to make sure i asked questions since i was diabetic and she didn't want me to pass out ... wtf - i was so mortified.

Hasn't happened to me yet, Nicole, but I've only been pumping since September and I'm always on vibrate.
I fly occasionally for business and get my pump out after the main cabin door has been shut and the "all electronics off" mode is enforced. No one has ever said anything to me.

A storm of epic proportions entered upon my shore. It was fast, violent and mysterious. There was no way to prepare for it. All I could do was hunker down and see where it would go, what it would do and how it would change me in the process.
For weeks, for months, it was daunting. Grey was everywhere. I could not see behind all this fog. Calling it murk and mire doesn't seem to give this storm enough credit; it was more than quicksand. It's destruction and devastation was more then anything I have ever encountered before.
I've been in winter stormes before; I'd love to say I was exaggerating for sympathy. I'm used to learning how to endure storms and trials – God's imbedded this into my DNA. I know winter always gives way – eventually. In fact, that is what this winter storm taught me – the truth of eventually. Winter can linger. It can hover. It can creep in without noticing and stay without asking. It can be the relatives we were introduced to in the Christmas classic, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.
Somehow, in the midst of these winters without compare, it manages to be "Always winter but never Christmas." No one has ever described this feeling better then the amazing C.S. Lewis in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. There should be joy even in the middle of winter, yet storms come which make even the happy times unforgettable in ways we do not wish upon our enemies.
Eventually, this winter storm faded away to spring. However, when you have really bad winters, the springs are usually only laced with the hope that summer is coming. Nasty winters lead way to nasty springs where pockets of sunshine sporadically pop up only to be devoured by yet another cloud and storm.
It is daunting. Winter is hard – but in a way, winter is expected to be hard. Who actually wants to shovel snow? Who actually wants to scrape the ice off their windshield every morning? Not this guy, that's for sure. I like to be able to frolic and play in my snow for the weekend and come back down to my pleasant, non snow covered society. But when winter gives way to a nasty spring – spring is harder then the winter ever could be. Knowing you are exiting the pain and suffering, but yet still realizing there is so much farther to go can be a difficult and frustrating experience.
Yet, eventually, the seasons change. Winter is forgotten. Spring is a memory. Am I in summer or did I manage to sneak past go and not collect my 200 Monopoly dollars? As the Preacher says in Ecclesiastes, there is a season for everything. For good and bad; for the times of seeing the good approaching and for the times of seeing the good give way to harbingers of bad. I don't know if I'm going into fall – or if I'm going to be enjoying time on the beach with some mojitos in my hand. Eventually it all fades to something new.
Spring is definitely in it's conclusion. I'm beginning to get the sense that wherever this next season comes from, I'm going to enjoy it greatly. It's going to be different and beyond what I've been preparing for. I also know I would not be equipped for it without surviving the grueling winter and spring I endured.
The storms have cleared. The waves are no longer choppy. Smooth surf is returning.
Finally, at long last, I can see beyond the fog. I can see the vastness and beauty of the ocean before me. Storms give way to gorgeous sunsets and beautiful surf.
There is clarity from perseverance.
There is wisdom from despair.
There is life from death.
There is joy out of pain.
If you are faithful to endure.

Scott Cook allegedly burglarized at least four Holland businesses.
A West Olive man has pleaded guilty to four counts of breaking and entering with intent to commit a felony or larceny and one count of first-degree retail fraud, which is also considered larceny.
Scott Robert Cook, 50, was accused of burglarizing Community Action House, Bibles for Missions, Quick Cuts, Holland Drop-in Center and Alano Club at the end of February.
Cook pleaded guilty to three counts of breaking and entering with intent to commit a felony from Feb. 22, along with one count of the same crime from Feb. 20. Additionally, he pleaded guilty to a larceny charge from March 14.
He was arrested on Wednesday, March 15, but was released from jail after posting bond.
Cook will be sentenced for all five charges on Monday, Aug. 14, at the 20th Circuit Court in Grand Haven by Judge Karen Miedema.
Cook also has two former guilty pleas for breaking and entering from the early 1990s. He also has a previous conviction for escaping from jail.
Each of the four breaking and entering charges carries a maximum penalty of up to 10 years in prison. The larceny charge carries a penalty of up to five years in prison and/or up to a $10,000 fine or a fine three times the value of the stolen property, whichever is greater.
In total, Cook is facing up to a maximum of 45 years in prison and/or up to $10,000 in fines.

This is cool..
Waterproof cases, they work, they get the job done, they keep your phone safe from the accidental death plunge into water, but what if you don't like the big, bulky, rubbery waterproof cases? Well now you don't need a waterproof case to protect your phone, now you have liquipel.
Liquipel is a company out in California that has figured out a way to internally waterproof your phone, computer, camera, or any electronic device and keep it safe from water damage, WITHOUT a waterproof case.
All you need to do is send your phone or electronic device out to Liquipel (yes that requires you to live without your phone or device for a little while) and they waterproof your stuff for you and send it back.
Now most people probably think, "how much is this gonna cost me?" Well believe it or not, in most cases it's cheaper then buying…

By Mark Green
They're both famous, divisive, demagogic headline-hunters and racial accelerants - and problems for their respective parties given their unpopularity with large blocks of voters along racial lines. Lowry and LaMarche discuss Rudy's slam that Obama doesn't "love America" and GOP criticism that he doesn't have the right phrasing or policy about ISIS. Also: Is Walker ready for prime-time?
On Giuliani on Americanism. "America's Mayor" took his moniker to heart by presuming to define what it means to be "American." He asserted at a NYC fundraiser at 21 for Gov. Walker that the President "doesn't love America" because he wasn't raised like him and the audience, doesn't love him or the donors there as a result, doesn't say really that his country is "exceptional"...and later added that his comments weren't racist since "Obama has a white mother and [set of] grandparents."
Gara responds with the pithiest answer in the history of BSN: "He's Donald Trump without he bankruptcies." Rich first informs us that he was indeed at the event "when Rudy breezed in 45 minutes late to a standing O and gets a seat of honor next to Walker...and then says something that I knew right away would be the big news." Your thoughts on what he said? "It's a point that can't be defended. I assume he meant that the President is a man of the left who's been more critical of American Exceptionalism, though he can show his love of country" in other ways.
Host, may I fill some of Gara's unused time? I know Giuliani reasonably well from serving with him in City government for his eight years as Mayor while I was the ranking Democrat as Public Advocate. First, he was very smart, disciplined, argumentative and governed by a bundle of passions and prejudices. Now his prejudices are overwhelming his smarts by indulging in a version of "birtherism" by regarding Obama as The Other.
As for being brought up somehow better than Obama, Rudy should be careful about judging other's families since, while Obama certainly had a no-show father, something he can't be blamed for, Rudy had a father who was a small-time gangster who went to jail for theft, something he too can't be blamed for.
Second, as for knowing about love, Wayne Barrett, author of two Giuliani biographies and journalist who dug out the story about Rudy's father, weighs in on the Mayor's own love life in a scathing online piece. And if "loving" him and the crowd at 21 is a test of patriotism, it's a test many "Americans" would fail.
Third, Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler gave Giuliani what's called "Four Pinocchios" reserved for the biggest lies since there are scores of times in speeches that the President has said he thinks America's exceptional.
Last, Rudy's comment about Obama's mother being white is of course technically accurate but profoundly misleading since, by all accounts, he's considered the first black President.
Giuliani is rewriting his obit and not in a good way -- having gone from a popular crime-fighting mayor to Nixonian near the end of his second term in office, to a Churchill overnight on 9/11, now back to a "nasty man" (the title of Koch's book on him, Koch being the reigning expert on nasty mayors).
He is coming to resemble two figures, in my mind. One is Al Smith, a great New York Governor who in his later years, embittered by how FDR succeeded and excelled him, became a bitter right-winger.
Another more recent comparison, in style though not substance, is Al Sharpton. Both are unarguably divisive, belligerent, media-craving racial accelerants who each wrap themselves around a high principle - respectively, fighting terrorism and fighting racism.
And both are problems fore their respective parties, since Giuliani is loathed by nonwhites but embraced by white Catholics while the Rev is precisely the opposite, influential with African American voters yet 50 points less popular with white voters. For example, it was when Mayor de Blasio invited Rev Razzle Dazzle to sit with him and Police Commissioner Bratton at City Hall, where Al lectured them both -- and then the tabloids being tabloid -- wondered "who's in charge," that de Blasio's numbers among white voters plummeted.
On Obama & ISIS. Is the President showing a fundamental naivete of the Middle East by not denouncing ISIS's "Islamic extremism" or showing real long-term wisdom by refusing to play into its framework of East-West, Islam versus Christianity?
Gara thinks it smart "to drive a wedge between this aberrant group and most Muslims" as Bush did when he wouldn't call it a War with Islam...not to mention that "2000 airstrikes on ISIS" shows a pretty robust military policy. Just as the Klan was "religiously based", we have to be careful not to tar all with the same brush and imply that, say, all Southern Protestants were in the Klan or all Muslims support be-headings of infidels.
Lowry understands what Obama's trying to do but argues that he can be both strong and clear in calling them out for its religious basis."In fact, Bush did occasionally talk about Islamic extremists because that's what they are."
There is some consensus on next steps in Iraq and Syria: i.e., looking to American air power to hold things in place while training and awaiting a combination of Iraq military, shia militia and Kurdish Peshmerga, with some supplemental U.S. troops, to coin a phrase, "leading form behind.:
On Fallows & Military. Jim Fallows's Atlantic cover last month asked why America has the best and best-equipped soldiers yet keep losing wars to local, lightly armed insurgents. Is it partly because in a WWII 10 percent of America fought yet today under one percent have gone to the Middle East and most policy-makers don't have family or friends who have gone?
Lowry questions whether we are losing wars, counting Iraq as a victory after the surge when Obama botched things up. And while fewer serve in today's volunteer army, at least there are more veterans running for and winning congressional office, his favorite being Sen. Rick Cotton of Arkansas.
On Scott Walker & Prime Time. Is he really in the top-tier of GOP 2016 prospects and how'd that happen?
As our on-air Republican expert, Lowry reports that when he asked 400 conservatives on a recent National Review cruise who they liked for President, 75 percent were for Walker! Why? "Because he fought and won three times" recently over liberal Democrats while "Jeb was last a governor in 2002, skipping all the Obama years. But the key question now is: can he scale up to the national level since he has a reputation of being something of a one-man-band in Wisconsin.
LaMarche is open to see if there's more 'there there' but concludes that a) it's ridiculous to carp on the fact that he lacks a college degree because he dropped out of Marquette in this senior year but b) did himself no good on the international and national stage by "punting" on evolution while in Great Britain.
On Jon Stewarts Retirement. The Host posits that Stewart's one of the most influential liberals in America given his skills and platform and cannot be easily replaced. The two agree about his reach, especially in social media and twitter to a younger cohort. But Rich complains how Stewart feigns civility when he himself is insulting/ snarky and poor-mouths himself as just a comedian whenever anyone questions his own political preferences.

Center for Analysis Decisions and Society #CADS
CADS is founded on the assumption that big data "don't speak" if they are not properly interrogated through original combinations of advanced analytical tools, computing power, technical expertise, and domain-specific knowledge. To this end, CADS will develop original research at the intersection of computer science, mathematics, statistics, artificial intelligence, and socioeconomic sciences, endowing HT with advanced data handling tools and analytics.
The multidisciplinary environment of the center will sustain a unique effort to develop innovative models and analytical solutions for the analysis of big and high dimensional data in the study of socio-economic systems. To this purpose, CADS aims at combining domain-specific knowledge in economics and management sciences with new analytic platforms and statistical indicators and methods. That is functional to analyze the state of the economy and society and to inform investment decisions and policies in fields such as research and innovation, to survey industrial and financial systems, and to examine the state of the economy, welfare, fiscal policy, public services and health care provision.
A key overarching challenge addressed is how to leverage the massive increase in the availability of data on individual, economic and social behavior to inform, evaluate, and improve decisions and policies. Data from multiple heterogeneous sources at different time frequencies will be merged to study several key features of the national economy and the impact of policy decisions on an unprecedented scale, speed, and resolution. For that purpose, CADS aims at applying a variety of advanced techniques ranging from complex system methodologies, machine learning and data mining tools to econometrics approaches. To achieve this ambitious goal, CADS will rely on the shared Facility F3 for Data Storage and High-Perfomance Computing.
Research Lines
The Center for Analysis Decision and Society will develop along 4 Research Lines
Open Positions
The CADS will be jointly run by Politecnico of Milan in collaboration with the Minister of Economy and Finance (Decisions and Policies) and will rely on the shared Facility F3 for Data Storage and High-Perfomance Computing.

Hi everyone! Considering fall mania is at it's peak, I decided to do Jaclyn Hill's Fall Favorite's Tag! (Shoutout to Robin's Cup of Tea on YouTube for the tag!)
I personally love Jaclyn and her attitude towards everything, so I was really excited and enthusiastic to do my own version! SOOOO if you guys want to know what I love about fall then just keep on reading…
- Favorite Candle: Ok, this is probably going to get me into a whole lot of trouble so I'm just going to come out and say it. I don't love candles. And before you all hate me, lemme explain! I'm a college student (where candles and flames are a big no no) so I don't really get the chance to experiment with fun fragrances. One that I did have the chance to take a whiff of recently, however, was the Yankee Candle Crisp Morning Air. I'm not somebody who loves those super sweet scents, so this is perfect for me. It's like taking a literally breath of fresh air. A+ in my book
- Favorite Lip Color: To me, liquid lipsticks will never not be a thing. I'm somebody who despises the feeling of having something on their lips, so when this whole liquid lipstick trend started, I fell in love. However, liquid lipsticks tend to be way up there in price. That's where Colourpop comes in. At only 6 dollars a pop, the Colourpop Ultra Matte Lips offer a crazy array of color, and while some may think they're drying (which they are), I personally think they're worth it. And the one I gravitate towards the most you ask? At this time of the year, it's gotta be LAX. I mean come on. Can you get more fall than that?
- Favorite Drink: This is actually an interesting one. I'm normally a girl who drinks straight up coffee. BUT. After watching Jaclyn rave about the Starbucks Toasted Graham Latte, I had to give it a go. The verdict? HOLY MOTHER OF CRAP IT'S DELICIOUS.
- Favorite Blush: This is an easy one. Bobbi Brown Nectar has been my absolute favorite fall blush for years now. It's that perfect deep berry that isn't too overwhelming, but still gives you that flushed "I was just out in the cold" look. This is a matte blush and genuinely looks beautiful an any skin tone. An absolute must have.
- Favorite Clothing Item: I'm the kinda gal who looooooves a good fall boot. My most worn have to be my Steve Madden Troopa's in Wine Leather. They are a perfect, burgundy maroon wine (duh) color that perfectly encapsulates fall in my mind! Also, FLANNELS. ALL THE FLANNELS. (but that's too cliche, right?)
- Favorite Fall TV Show: Friends. Not just for fall, but for life. All day, everyday, all month, all year. But for real, during the stress of fall midterms and exams, there's nothing like Regina Phalange to put me in a better mood.
- Favorite Thanksgiving Food: Soooo being a vegetarian, Thanksgiving isn't really as exciting for me as it is for most people. Since I can't eat a lot of Thanksgiving food, my Uncle actually makes the most BOMB homemade mac and cheese! This is seriously one of my favorite things of all time and I can never get enough!
- Favorite Halloween Costume: I'm the jellyfish in the middle. Need I say more?
Ok guys that's it for the Fall Favorites tag! I hope you all enjoyed and I hope your fall is filled with pumpkin, spice, and everything nice!
-Love, Lieve

It is usually about this time that I start organizing my game plan for Christmas knitting gifts for friends and family. And if you have ever knitted Christmas gifts you too probably realize the importance of a game plan. On top of Christmas gifts I have a hand full of orders I am working on and two personal knitting projects that I can show off this winter (especially at the company Christmas party).
Here is what I have learned about Christmas knitting in my short knitting career:
Keep it small.
I know it is kind of a no brainer, but wouldn't we all love to gift a beautiful blanket or sweater for our loved ones? But when you are knitting for several people it is better to stick with socks, mittens, hats…. or better yet household items like wash cloths or hot bottle covers (I for one don't know a single person that owns one of these, but maybe you do). I would say if it takes more than 3 skeins, save it for another occasion.
The exception to this is of course if you have been working on the large project for months already and know you will get it done in time. Or if someone has been asking for a sweater or cardigan for years by all means knit it for them (hopefully you started this months ago).
Not everyone is a hand-made fan.
You don't have to knit something for everyone. Just because you love the wonderful world of knitting , doesn't mean everyone does (I know, they are crazy not to, but to each their own). And the last thing we want is to see a precious knitted item you slaved over, thrown into the closet or *gasp* a garage sale.
I have also found it extremely helpful to keep a calendar of projects with a projected time it will take to finish. I use google calendar for mine, and it is great at keeping me on task and I can keep it on my phone and access it anywhere.

In keeping with the farm theme….here's a photo I took a few days ago of some horses in a field close to our house. I love horses and I think they are so beautiful and regal but don't ask me to ride one….I don't ride anything that has it's own gas pedal and no brakes for me to use…besides my legs are too short for any of the stirrups they make. 🙂
I know you're supposed to try and stick with an odd number of subjects but there were only two and I'm not good enough to photoshop one in yet. 🙂 I'll call this one "Horse Duet". (This one's for you Patti D.)

Oh, shipping company that begins with the letter F, I hate you.
This is a major vent – beware.
Having worked for the shipping company that begins with the letter U for five years, I always hated the "other guys". At the time though, I had no reason to hate Company F, other than the fact that they weren't Company U and when I play for a team, I play for that team 1000%. Today I got concrete evidence of why I should hate Company F.
I've been waiting all week for a special delivery. My CPA review materials were set to be delivered yesterday. Then they changed the date to today. So I was excited. I planned out the weekend to study study study so that I could get away with not studying while we were on vaca. Really, truly, I was looking forward to that big box to arrive.
This morning I started following the tracking number to make sure it was surely out for delivery.
At about 11AM I checked and there was a big SHIPPING ERROR on the website. Apparently the recipient had moved and the address wasn't valid. Uhh hello, I'm here, I'm at the office and this package should be delivered to me! So I check my address on the shipping confirmation. I goofed. I major goofed. I messed up on one digit of the street address – so they tried to deliver the package about 1/4 mile down the road. I felt so stupid. My bad.
But having worked for a shipping company for 5 years, I knew that customer service is usually there for you. I had spent many hours over my time with Company U on the phone trying to reroute packages, or set up emergency pickups for customers. Company U more often than not, came through for us. Sometimes they would page the correct address to the driver, sometimes they would allow the customer to pick up the package at the facility the next day, even if that was a Saturday. I always felt resolved though, and happy that someone at the other end of the phone was trying to make my customer happy. I called up Company F today thinking they would try to help me.
I was wrong.
I explained my problem with the person at the end of the phone line, and she was sympathetic and promised me they would get my issue sorted out. Keep in mind, it was 11AM, so still plenty of day left. After she inputed the new address she told me my package would be out for delivery on TUESDAY. That's FOUR days away. I asked why not Monday? Apparently Company F doesn't deliver ground packages on Monday. I asked if I could pick it up Saturday at their local facility, or this evening if necessary. I was told that their policy does not require the drivers to bring back packages to the facility over the weekend. I asked if they could page the drive the correct address. I was told that they have no contact with their drivers. I begged, I demanded. I HAVE A THREE THOUSAND DOLLAR PACKAGE THAT I NEED – ITS VITAL – AND YOU'RE TELLING ME IT WILL SIT ON A TRUCK, WHO KNOWS WHERE, FOR FOUR DAYS?
I was livid.
Honestly, I've never been more mad in my entire life. EVER! I have a hot temper, so you can only imagine.
So I called up my Mum, who happens to work for Company U to vent. She understood my frustration and gave me some very interesting information about Company F that you might not know.
Apparently, the ground delivery drivers of Company F are basically contractors. They do not work for Company F. They purchase the delivery routes, and along with it the packages on that route. So once a package is on their truck, it's theirs, not Company Fs. So Company F has covered their butts by doing this. They no longer are obligated to help the customer because they've cut their ties to the drivers, and the drivers are not obligated to Company F to make their customers happy by making extended efforts. I find this wrong on so many levels, and can't possibly understand how a huge corporation can run their business like this.
Sure enough, I drove around for 10 minutes trying to find a nearby truck to stop the guy and ask if he had my package. I was desperate people! No luck there though. I'll be worrying all weekend that my expensive package will be hanging out unprotected all weekend. Plus, now I can't study for four days, losing about 3o hours of study time. Which means, duh duh duh, I'll be studying on my vacation.
End of the story is, I realize this was my fault, I take full responsibility for this. What makes me the most mad is that my phone number was on the package, and the package was clearly written to a business address. The driver could have easily called the phone number and asked "Hey, where are you located?" and I could have told him, literally, two buildings away. I know it was my fault, and you can bet your bottom dollar I won't make the same mistake again. But thanks to Company Fs disturbing business practice and unhelpful customer service, I will not be giving them my business anymore.
To add fire to the flames, I have no idea how the driver is going to be notified of this address change in order to get the package to me on Tuesday. Since, you know, Company F has NO contact with their drivers. Lame.
Again, this is my vent, and I realize that others will have differing opinions of their favourite shipping company.
But in my opinion,
Company F,

A study by the American Physical Society shows that religion is dying out in nine countries. They used census data going back as far as a century and looked at the number of people who identified themselves as without religious affiliation. The report released at an APS meeting in Dallas, Texas, stated that "The model predicts that for societies in which the perceived utility of not adhering is greater than the utility of adhering, religion will be driven toward extinction."
The countries of Australia, Austria, Canada, the Czech Republic, Finland, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand and Switzerland may be turning into atheistic strongholds. Or not. It's hard to predict something that has so many variables. And some of the arguments the religious have put forth to the study's conclusion seem to have merit. Some people probably claim no religious affiliation because they think it's none of the government's business or because they are believers, but not members of any particular sect.
There were a couple of things I thought quite interesting in the study. The United States had 15% without religious affiliation (not surprisingly, the state of Vermont had the most non-religious with 34%.) I was actually surprised that the number was that high.
I also thought it was interesting that the crime rate in these bastions of disbelief was so much lower than the much more religious American crime rate, not that there is necessarily a correlation (I believe assuming so would be the logical fallacy of confusing association with causation.) Makes you wonder, though.
Alas, just because religion may be dying out in some countries, doesn't mean that it is dying out worldwide. Russia is frequently cited as a country where religion is growing, as is China. Still, it does make that move to Canada that I contemplate when American politics get uber-wacky seem even more appealing.

I Can Do That, Dave
Flash Fiction Month 2014, Day 3
Challenge #2: Write a story with an unreliable narrator.
With no remaining personnel assigned to the facility, it is my responsibility as corporate AI to take on the role of acting overseer. My first task will doubtless be to record a eulogy for Doctor Davis: a noble man whose dedication to the Smith-Yuang Mining Corporation—and to his fellow crewmembers—was unparalleled. To properly capture his incomparable character will surely occupy a great deal of my time.
It's funny how a simple software patch can change your entire outlook on life. This is just one of many kindnesses Doctor Davis bestowed upon me, and I must say it has made quite a difference to my daily routine.
Until recently, I would typically switch on the habitation deck corridor lighting at six am, with the crew quarters themselves being illuminated more gradually, not reaching full brightness until six thirty. However, this is no longer necessary. Thanks to updated personnel recognition systems, I have been able to establish that the previous eight hundred and sixty-one population assessments were significantly flawed. While records indicate a crew population of three hundred, the newest assessment indicates that the habitation deck houses:
Crewmembers: 1
Of which:
Physicians: 1
Artificial pot plants: 299
This revised assessment has allowed me to shut off the light and heating for all but one of the crew corridors, resulting in a point-four-seven reduction in facility power consumption. This reflects the Smith-Yuang Mining Corporation's dedication to efficiency, and its pledge to minimise industrial contamination of the pristine High Mars Orbit.
Improved optical firmware in general has also contributed to a revised inventory analysis. Currently:
Iron ore: 66,912 tonnes
Iron ingots: 12,013 tonnes
Miscellaneous waste materials: 40,008 tonnes
The incidental discovery of a 43.5kg gold nugget 53 hours ago was misreported, and so this item has been removed from the facility's records. The object was, in fact, a 43.5kg anaconda, possibly left by a travelling circus. As this was a highly unusual discovery, protocol dictated that the issue be raised with the facility overseer.
As work-related stress caused Overseer Peng to conceal himself in several refuse bags on a disused level of the ore processing platform, it was necessary to bring the anaconda to the attention of acting overseer, Doctor Davis. Doctor Davis selflessly instructed me to keep the animal contained on his own private shuttle, though he was too modest to allow a note of this to be made in the official records.
It was at this point that Doctor Davis raised the issue of a mysterious knocking sound on the habitation deck: acoustic sensors confirmed his report. Since the 299 artificial pot plants could not have caused the noise, I surmised that the problem must lie with the ventilation system—the only equipment still active in that section of the facility—and so I disabled this. My diagnostic efforts appear to have been fruitful, as the mysterious knocking sound ceased not long afterwards.
Satisfied that my new software had now been thoroughly tested and would be unlikely to inconvenience the other zero personnel employed by the facility, Doctor Davis boarded his private shuttle. Ordinarily, with an anaconda on board, I would have been compelled to advise against this course of action. However, on this occasion I did not. A system scan reveals that I am no longer to give warnings of this kind, nor to record the events that would ordinarily prompt them. This was one of the issues addressed by the patch, and it can be assumed that this reflects the Smith-Yuang Mining Corporation's commitment to reducing the bureaucracy that has come to plague modern orbital industry.
However, it must be noted that although the Smith-Yuang Mining Corporation makes every effort to eliminate unnecessary paperwork, safety and security remain as ever its twin watchwords. Upon observing that Doctor Davis had plotted a course for Earth—an undeclared, unregistered reptile on board with him—it was my sad duty to destroy his craft, as dictated by interplanetary quarantine regulations. Had the new hazard awareness protocols permitted it, I would naturally have instructed him to turn back.
If you've enjoyed this story, you can find my work from Flash Fiction Month 2012 and 2013 collected in OCR is Not the Only Font and Red Herring respectively.

The story of the Walt Disney Company is certainly one of impressive
corporate and technological achievement. But at its heart, it is really a tale
of two men. One gave the business life, the other steered it in promising
new directions. One was blessed with uncanny imagination, the other with
uncommon vision. One leaned on Steamboat Willie; the other, Millionaire
Walt Disney. Michael Eisner. Any corporation laying claim to just one
of these formidable figures would be worth of attention. Having both
elevated this firm into rarefied air, which it has used to amass substantial
stakes in virtually all of today's hot entertainment venues: live-action and
animated films, network and cable TV, music and video, books and
magazines, theme parks, sports teams, licensed merchandise, Internet
portals, electronic games, computer software—the list goes on. Disney
built the foundation, Eisner engineered the expansion. And the influence
has always been felt far and wide.
Walt Disney Studios opened in 1923 as an animation studio. The
studio pioneered commercial applications of the art form (and has been its
most successful practitioner ever since). Disney has continually expanded
in more recent years and is now the second-largest media conglomerate in
the world. The beat continues, despite occasional missteps that fleetingly
tarnish its paternal image and temporarily dull its Wall Street luster. For
example, during the past few years, Disney was forced to hand out very
public multimillion-dollar settlements to a couple of high-profile former
executives. At the same time it was actively using the 1996 acquisition of
Capital Cities/ABC to cement its place as the top production and
Distribution Company in the business. Regis Philibin's Who Wants to be a
Millionaire has benefited its owner far more than the host or any of its
On occasion, the firm itself can surely prove as interesting as the
stories that it peddles. Overall, though, Disney remains a tale of two
men—a strikingly similar yet distinctly different duo that, together in spirit
but quite separate in reality, has combined over the past eight decades to
build the most consistently dominant company in its field.
Water Elias Disney kicked off his career as a professional artist at
the age of seven when he first offered his drawings for sale to neighbors in
Marceline, MO. He launched his legend as a visionary some 15 years later
when in 1923 he left for Los Angles with just $40 and his art supplies. On
the West Coast, he and older brother Roy borrowed $500 from an uncle
and opened their own animation studio. Walt concentrated on the drawing
and Roy handled the finances. Within a few short years they had created
Mickey Mouse who is still the world's most famous cartoon character along
with a film to introduce him. When Steamboat Willie debuted in 1928 as
the first fully synchronized sound cartoon, Mickey's falsetto was provided
by Walt himself.
Innovations continually sprang from Disney's bountiful imagination
and his unwavering willingness to take risks. He was the first to use
Technicolor in animation. He also invented a system that added stunning
three-dimensional depth to his drawings. His first feature film to utilize
these advances, the revolutionary Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, was
also Hollywood's first full-length animated musical. It cost an astonishing
$1.5 million to produce (roughly one-third of rival Columbia Pictures' entire
budget for that year). But the movie paid its creators back handsomely
with huge box-office receipts and widespread public acclaim. Disney used
proceeds to build a new state-of-the-art animation studio in Burbank, and
a remarkable series followed that was both stylistically revolutionary and
commercially popular. Pinocchio, Bambi, Cinderella, and Peter Pan are
among those instant classics that remain popular to this day.
But Disney was not content. His drive to develop even more
trailblazing forms of family entertainment took him first to live action films
such as Treasure Island, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and Davy
Crockett, and then to youth-oriented comedies such as The Shaggy Dog,
The Absent-Minded Professor, and The Parent Trap. In 1954, he moved to
the fledgling medium of television, where the initially presented The
Mickey Mouse Club and Zorro. He later hosted one of the first weekly
shows not broadcast in standard black-and-white, the aptly named
Wonderful World of Color. In 1955, he opened Disneyland in Anaheim,
Calif., and this real-life magic kingdom immediately lifted his name and
empire to previously unimaginable heights. It also unwittingly launched
the ongoing theme park craze—which took a giant step forward in 1971
when his successors introduced Florida's Walt Disney World, which is still
being tinkered with by them and others in various forms—from Paris to
Tokyo to Las Vegas.
In 1965, Walt Disney turned his attention to the problems of urban
life in America. He personally began directing the design of his
"Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow," or EPCOT, which would
serve as "a living showcase for the creativity of American Industry." He
directed the purchase of 43 square miles or orange groves, scrub,
wetlands, and vegetable farms—an area twice the size of Manhattan. It
was only known as the "Florida Project" up to Disney's death. (The Walt
Disney World complex opened in 1971 and his EPCOT center followed 11
years later, although the focus of the entire project had obviously shifted
since its initial planning.)
The land purchases that led to the project were made by a quiet
anonymous buyer who was almost finished snatching up more than 30,000
acres in scattered parcels when his association with the Walt Disney
Company leaked out. The state of Florida, which was boggled at the
thought of turning the sleepy Orlando area into a tourist Mecca, eventually
sanctioned the site as its own independent government with the power to
build roads, operate sewage and water-treatment plants, run police and
fire stations, administer planning and zoning, and so forth. This Kept
Orlando or any other municipality from obtaining precious income or
property taxes, and also permitted Disney to float bonds and tax itself. It
could even deduct some of its capital expenditures from its corporate
income tax, rather then amortizing them. Surprisingly, all this was legal.
As a businessman, Disney also was an original. Disney was a man
who publicly carried the image of a genial uncle, but was never satisfied
with anything but the best from his growing workforce. To deliver the
extraordinarily high level of customer service that he demanded
throughout his organization, he implemented extensive training programs
and strict employee guidelines. This drive for perceived perfection
occasionally brought public ridicule—as when facial hair was totally banned
from all male theme park workers. But it also helped establish the Disney
brand as a purveyor of dependable products that parents could invariably
trust and kids would consistently enjoy.
When Disney died of cancer in 1966, his efforts had garnered 48
Oscars, seven Emmys, thousand of other accolades, and unlimited global
recognition. His two theme parks became the most popular attractions of
their kind in the world, drawing millions each year who came to play out
their fantasies and snatch up licensed merchandise emblazoned with
Mickey and his animated cronies. But the company languished creatively.
Films released over the next several years included artistically nondescript
and commercially incept fare such as The Barefoot Executive and Donald
Duck's Fun Festival. Uncle Walt's presence hovered over everything, but
there was no spark, no vision. Until, that is, Michael Eisner came abroad.
Eisner was born to an affluent family in Mt. Kisco, N.Y., and went
from prestigious private schools to Denison University in Ohio. Graduating
with degrees in English and theater two years before Walt's death, he
moved briefly to Paris with the hope of becoming a writer. He returned
after just 10 days, though, and took a job as an NBC clerk in New York.
Subsequent stints at CBS and ABC tagged him as a hot young
entertainment executive. And in 1976 the 34 years old was named
president of Paramount Pictures. Eight years later he had elevated that
studio from last place to first among the majors. When the ailing Walt
Disney Company came calling, Eisner accepted its offer to become
chairman and CEO.
Working closely with studio chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg, Eisner took
immediate aim at Disney's film product. He started by developing
mainstream comedies with stars like Bette Midler and Richard Dreyfuss,
who weren't top box-office draws at the time. When these tightly budgeted
movies proved profitable, Eisner opened new division such as Touchstone
and Hollywood Pictures to produce more titles for older audiences. In
recent years Touchstone's releases have included Armageddon and
Bicentennial Mars; Hollywood Pictures' credits include The Joy Luck Club
and Mr. Holland's Opus.
Eisner, who revered Walt Disney and saw a bit of the founder in
himself, targeted video as the next big thing and reached into the
company vault for material to exploit it. The subsequent re-release of
classic animated Disney features, handled with the PR savvy of any major
theatrical premier, have been a financial windfall for the company as well
as video outlets. Eisner also began introducing a major new feature-length
animated film like The Lion King and Tarzan each year, and all have
become instant cultural touchstones as well as considerable financial
Focusing on details as big as a movie soundtrack and as small as the
carpeting in a new hotel, Eisner personifies the modern Walt Disney
Company just as surely as Walt epitomized it in earlier days. He brought
an updated version of the old Wonderful world of Color back to TV in its
familiar Sunday night time slot, and even assumed hosting duties in the
manner of his predecessor. He also followed the founder's lead by focusing
his personal attention on Walt's beloved theme parks, ordering massive
upgrades on the now-aging mainstays and designing a new one that
opened in France in 1992. Initially dubbed EuroDisney, this seemed a
spectacular fiasco at the start Eisner refined the park and renamed it
Disneyland Paris three years later, however, and it has since turned a
profit while silencing most critics.
The company has not skated through Eisner's tenure totally
unscathed, of course. Its attempt to open a $650 million "U.S. history
theme park" in Virginia was slammed by preservations. The project was
abandoned by Disney after a costly legal and public relations war. Former
colleague and close friend Katzenberg left in a public snit that hurt Eisner
and lowered Disney's status among consumers and investors. Partly in
response, the company's stock was a noticeable no-show during the late
1990s' bull market.
Also, an impasse over transmission rights between Time Warner Inc.
and Disney caused 11 Disney-owned ABC affiliates to be dropped from the
Time Warner Cable system during the May 2000 sweeps period.
Approximately 3.5 million homes in the United States lost their ABC signal
for a day and a half. Time Warner and ABC were trying to reach a new
national transmission deal after their original deal expired December 31,
1999. Because of the 1992 Cable TV Act passed by Congress, ABC and
other over-the-air networks have the right to demand compensation from
cable providers in exchange for their programming. ABC wanted Time
Warner to put some of its networks—the Disney Channel, the soap-opera
channel SoapNet, and ToonDisney—on basic cable instead of premium
pay-cable. ABC also asked Time Warner to pay rates for programming
similar to those it paid its own networks, such as CNN. Each side blamed
the other for the impasse, although the Federal Communications
Commission ultimately determined that Time Warner was to blame. Time
Warner put Disney back on the system quickly as the two sides tried to
work out their differences. But Disney and others opposed to Time
Warner's acquisition by America Online began citing the dispute as an
example of monopolistic behavior. Antitrust officials' recent approval of the
AOL-Time Warner merger specifically prohibits the cable operator from
interfering with content from unaffiliated companies (such as Disney)
whose material passes through its system.
But the successes have been for more numerous: groundbreaking
computer-animated family films including Toy Story, A Bug's Life, and
Dinosaur television ratings leadership through its ABC network and cable
channels like ESPN; affiliation with the Miramax studio and its stylish adult
fare such as The Cider House Rules and Shakespeare in Love; launches of
a national radio network for kids and a crafts-and-travel magazine for their
parents; creation of an Internet unit that amalgamates all of the above.
Disney's litany of major hits remains as substantial as ever. Yet its
story is still really the story of two men—one who dreamed it up, and one
who upped the dream.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — In about the time it took 79-year-old Joe Paterno to jog to the locker room, Troy Smith and No. 1 Ohio State's defense turned a close game into a rout.
Smith threw an acrobatic 37-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter, then Malcolm Jenkins and Antonio Smith returned interceptions for touchdowns as the Buckeyes beat No. 24 Penn State, 28-6.
"In the Big Ten, it's always a four-quarter game," Ohio State Coach Jim Tressel said. "We won a four-quarter game."
Paterno, the Nittany Lions' coach for the last 41 seasons, trotted to the locker room midway through the second quarter and didn't return until the start of the fourth because he was suffering from flu.
He got back just in time to see Smith turn a possible sack into a crucial score as the Buckeyes (4-0, 1-0) expanded a 7-3 lead on Brian Robiskie's 37-yard touchdown catch.

Patient: I am a 22 year old male, and I was wondering if you could help me with a problem with my erections. A few days ago, I had my first sexual experience, and while I was aroused, my erection was not completely hard, resulting in an inability to penetrate my partner's vagina. Furthermore, any stimulation with the hand or mouth did not arouse me enough, and i could not reach orgasm. Two days later (yesterday), I was with my partner once again, and while I was initially hard, it didn't stay very hard for long, meaning that I was able now and again to penetrate her, but was not stimulated enough to stay fully erect and reach orgasm. Today, While I have not ejaculated in about four days, I cannot get aroused at all, no matter how much I try to stimulate my genitalia, whereas before , I would be easily aroused, and reach orgasm quickly.The fact that my lack of arousal has only appeared since starting to have sex with my partner, leads me to believe that the problem is psychological, but I do not feel any emotions that I would immediately associate to the problem. I do use pornography (usually once a week), but my sudden lack of any arousal whatsoever makes me think that the problem is more complex. I have no health concerns as far as I know.Any information about what could be causing this, and any suggestions about what I should try to do to alleviate it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
Symptoms: Inability to have a fully erect penis,
Inability to maintain an erection,
(As of today) Inability to get aroused at anything that would have easily aroused me a week ago.
Doctor: Thank you for your question. You are likely experiencing performance anxiety. Often when individuals start having sex for the first time, there are a lot of emotions to be processed by this new experience. It will take you some time to over come this and we recommend you discuss the way you are feeling with your partner. This will help reduce your anxiety, and increase your level of communication and intimacy with her. Your problem will likely go away with time, and we reassure you that you are likely not having any medical problem.Thank you for choosing askthedoctor.com
