Damn dude! I used to think I knew how to search the net. Nice work, and I thank you for the info.

These were submitted in the hope of finding just such info, more than any hope they'd get sifted. So I owe you one now. LOL

WOW. May I ask what two classes these are?
Sorry to hear that. Things must be different now. I couldn't imagine a senior level class being unavailable when i was in school.


It was more than Two Classes...I just realized I had to change from a degree to a Surgical Technician certificate instead. Maybe those classes are available now. I just know while I was down there I was trying to get the same classes in 3 different Community Colleges and each time I was totally blocked.

I've been going to College for the past 9 years...I used to be able to go to the class the first day and easily get in because there were only 10-20 people in any class on campus. Now it's just not that way, cuts cuts and more cuts screwed everything up.

EDIT: Even up in WA I have to go to two colleges cause one didn't have my Bio class that I need for Surgical Tech...because they only have ONE class open at each college per quarter. Just ridiculous when it fills up before I get a chance to sign up when the servers open.

That's actually pretty fantastic. A good friend of mine is a fire performer so I've seen most of these tricks before, but the camera work is really well done.

So, were the technicians fired too?

Well, it's still rather tricky to disarm WW2 ordinance today. Last month, a 500kg bomb killed three technicians ~90km from here. Monthly evacuations are a splendid reminder that ammunitions don't care if someone declared the war to be over.

As long as no technicians were hurt... good show!

EMTs have known this for years...on another note: Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust" works well, too.

Sadly, my 7 yo daughter (who was born with a congenital heart defect, and then had 2 heart transplants) finally succumbed to heart failure at Stanford University, due to complications of rejections resulting in Coronary Heart Disease. She died suddenly just days after Easter, and days before her birthday.

And as for the Chest Compression only, it is far more important to keep the heart pumping manually than it is to get "air into the lungs". By his recommendation, 911 would have the Emergency Medical Technicians there in a timely manner with very little to no damage to brain matter and other organs. Ventilation is sketchy at best (the R in CPR), and it stops one from manually pumping the heart for a short time. Remember, we don't absorb all the oxygen in the blood by the first pass, and you keep clots from forming, too (as I seem to recall...someone correct me on this?)

Oh Quantum... deflect much?

I don't remember seeing anyone suggest a comparison between her and Obama prior to your post. I believe that everyone was assessing her performance against, say... a sanitation technician or perhaps an elementary school child. You know, the common folk.

But since you brought it up... There is a huge difference between someone making a mistake due to their ignorance of culture, or geography, or even just having a plain old brain fart. But when you take the time to ramble on with complete ignorance about a well known historical event of which you obviously have no idea, as Sarah clearly did here, and try to pass it off as if you are conducting a lesson or saying something profound... well that is just a combination of ego and stupidity.

To give her the benefit of the doubt, perhaps she was just trying too hard, doesn't know how to check herself and found herself 10 words into a sentence with no idea how she got there or how to finish it up without sounding like an idiot... and she ended up sounding like an idiot.

Regardless, I am tired of Sarah Palin and I hope that one day she gets left behind by the world of politics and personality and we never have to experience her flavor of nonsense again. Sarah Palin, reduced to a footnote in the political history of the country as a person that did nothing, changed nothing, knew nothing

I can agree with you on your brother (And his son.) I was just noting that there are different levels of conservatives. This congressman is a raging blowhard because he is a hypocrite. Hands down.

As for how much your father makes---it depends what he did, the risks, the level of supervision and all. It is not for me to judge--but I get your point. If he wasn't a 24/7 man, or held a position of high liability, then it is welfare. If his bones don't ache, or his lifespan look shorter, than it's welfare... But some do earn their pensions. Most (As I assume you will agree here,) however, do not.

>> ^bareboards2:

I should have given more details on the unemployment "insurance." His son, who is more conservative than he is, lost his job along with hundreds of others when a company collapsed. His industry was flooded with people looking for remaining jobs. His response was to get a job delivering ice cream until "his" industry recovered/absorbed the sudden influx of capable --- computer technicians.
Now THAT is walking the walk.
My brother making vague attempts at half-assed jobs for three years (he got laid off twice, wasn't consecutive) while collecting unemployment and a military pension? That's bullshit. That's welfare for the wealthy and he took it because it was there. His son was more honest.
If I told you how much my father collects each month, you would not be saying what you are saying. All from the government. Believe me, there is nothing "disingenuous" about the amount of money my dad collects each month.
My point was to highlight their hypocrisy. Just as that Congressman blathers on about being self reliant while grasping what is offered.
If you believe in self reliance, then be self reliant.
Hypocrites.

I will kind of have to disagree with you on this number--not because your wrong, but because it's a slight bit disingenuous.
Unemployment Insurance is like Health Insurance. It is there, paid by you and me, for you and me. I may not agree with most food stamps programs, etc. but there is nothing wrong with using Unemployment Insurance.
As far as pensions... They are there for a reason. Like the Military pensions, for example... Your body typically is fucked by the time you reach old age. The second part of pensions is that government employees' pay (compared to say the private market employee with a master's degree) is a lot less than the private sector... Remember, higher up positions are like Managers or even CEOs. So even if an E8 makes 100K in benefits and such a year, he is sorely behind, say, a CEO, which he is the equivalent of.
Did you know the average age of a retired military or law enforcement officer is 5 years? That isn't shit for a benefit if you ask me...
Now pensions for a County Admin, Mayor, Senator, etc., yeah, that's bullshit. If the job doesn't have shit pay and demanding physical labor, it shouldn't have a pension.
I think nobody cared about this in good times, and only scapegoat when times are bad due to jealousy.
(As far as the union part, your 100% right. I didn't mind when our union was disbanded; they risked forcing layoffs in trade for pay raises...)

That's exactly what it is. I used to know a former technician that was considering doing this to a reporter who had been a bitch to him. Affari gone bad, blah blah blah. I told him he could get fired for letting personal problems bleed into his career. He did it anyway. >> ^pmkierst:

Looks like revenge (or just plain dickishness)

Hah! Nice Thx, I learned another thing today.

In reply to this comment by HaricotVert:
Feynman actually used a strip club as an office and defended it in court.

From Wikipedia:

"In Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!, he gives advice on the best way to pick up a girl in a hostess bar. At Caltech, he used a nude/topless bar as an office away from his usual office, making sketches or writing physics equations on paper placemats. When the county officials tried to close the place, all visitors except Feynman refused to testify in favor of the bar, fearing that their families or patrons would learn about their visits. Only Feynman accepted, and in court, he affirmed that the bar was a public need, stating that craftsmen, technicians, engineers, common workers "and a physics professor" frequented the establishment. While the bar lost the court case, it was allowed to remain open as a similar case was pending appeal.[12]"

I wish I could've bought him a drink at a strip club and just listen to him talk all day.

I believe per his own specified criteria in this video he'd be too distracted to think.
