  1. Back on subject: Did anyone consider the fact they were complaining against RyanAir? French or not, looking at travel watchdog sites, this airline is near the bottom of barrel in customer service, communication, courtesy. They make the rudest US domestic airline look like the Presidential Pilot's Office (the ones who control Air Force One.) The fact that the owner has some of the most crackpot ideas published regarding air travel only adds to the angst.
  2. Frakking airline price hikes...24 hours for a 200% increase? Really?!
  3. They were protesting against Ryanair? From what I have seen on travel sites and from its publicity, *I* would be protesting along *with* the French on this one. This one needs to go under or clean up its public image.
  4. The midgets I could do without. Princess Leia in 1983, however...
  5. I am not sure. But as long as I don't end up like Han Solo in the ewok village, I should be OK.
  6. A inspiring clip for all. Think of it when I work out. Definitely gets the drive going for me. Awesome show. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GpJR3Un_uw
  7. I am where I want to be. Just want to finish the job. I will still "play" as a child, as in have a sense of humor, as we all do in the operating room, or at least the ones I have worked. Keeps me pleasant on the floor as well. Hell, shocked my last program director in that the nurses had nothing but positive things to say on my evaluations, unlike my senior residents at the time.
  8. I have...suspicions... But no crushes on myself, nor me on anyone else at the moment. *sigh* Need some inspiration, you know.
  9. Music. Definitely what drew me into the scene. Now I will be the first to admit dress something resembling yuppie-spawn, but I tend to be the more formal type going out to a club. Good topic.
  10. Gradually picking up speed running since I had sat out for a bit. 24-minute 3 mile run and going back down. Been kind of bummed for a bit. Waiting for some paperwork before working, so watching my anime collection. During the opening, closing and commercial breaks, you can get in a few sets of crunches or push ups. Duty with boredom relief. Seems to be going good.
  11. The thing is the voice is synthesized as well, or derived from computer sampling.
  12. That was one hell of a Shift Possibility and Eternity Shard tap.
  13. It appears that holograms or like technology combined with a software that generates vocals has created this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTXO7KGHtjI Vocaloid link It has a wiki page?!
  14. Actually, they have a bit more in the lines of pain management with their osteopathic maneuvers. There are limits to it. I'm not sure what they are missing in the academic background, however. There are two license tracks, both legal in the eyes of the law and in practice; the DO license and the MD license. There are exams for both licenses (COMLEX for DOs, USMLE for MDs,) DOs are eligible to take the board exams to hold an allopathic (MD) license. In some states in necessary for them to work, as it is up to the states to recognize DOs' license as valid. Met good and clueless MDs and DOs. The big DO/MD issue was that MDs at the time DOs came about (late 1800's,) were still using arsenic, and other known poisons as part of their medications. Hence their holistic approach. Nowadays, as medical studies undergo review and re-examiniation for best evidence for treatment, the two paths cross over quite a bit. (the reason the Cochrane Review exists.) That said, it depends on the physician for the holistic vs. allopathic method. Had a boarded anesthesiologist/pain specialist that actually used acupuncture for pain. Psychiatrists know that the best treatment for a lot (NOT ALL) of the problems is behavioral therapy and psychotherapy; just talking it out and helping the patient work through it. However, insurance companies don't like the idea of paying for the months of sessions it would take. The meds should be a last resort, but the insurance companies want otherwise.
  15. *facepalmheaddesk* I will have to see what the next few days bring.
  16. OK: -Rolls: Check -Cookie ingredients: Check -Rib Rub: Check The ribs and the meatloaf will have to wait until at least next week, if not the week of thanksgiving for two reasons: 1. I would rather have the meat fresh and not have to freeze it before making it. 2. I may have to make a trip that will eat a bit more funds.
  17. My friend, you did good. I wish he could have been alive to see him do the same for me.
  18. Trying to sleep now. Insomnia has been bad of late.
