In-flight bathroom emergency leads to felony charge

It was 30 minutes after takeoff. Joao Correa had to use the bathroom. Right away.
The last meal the Philips Healthcare marketing manager ate at a restaurant in Honduras wasn’t sitting well.

Guess if ya gotta go on a plane you better start taking a doggie do bag with you so you don't end up facing charges.

Entre Card

well has Entre card been overwhelmed by all the paid ads or did they delete me?

Entrecard application server failed

The server that does the complicated work has not responded in time, this could be due to load, due to an upgrade happening, or something else even weirder. An alert should have been triggered to the admins so they're no doubt trying to deal with it right now, we recommend trying again in 10 minutes.


this is all i am getting for now.


I don't think I am liking this paid ad thing because if one of my regular advertisers has an ad it seems the paid ad over rides my chosen ad and doesn't display it, maybe its time to move away from entre card? will have to wait and see, I only blog for fun and to meet new people and when I joined Entre card there were no paid ads and that's part of the reason I joined however my feelings on the paid ads is that if they really felt they needed to do this maybe they should have thought it through a little better. one possibility would be a separate widget displayed for the paid ad's with the option to display it.


Wow There are a lot of disappointed people (as well as me) with this paid ad thing while doing my drops I have seen a lot of post's about this and some of the comments tell me there are a lot of people who will be looking for traffic elsewhere.

Spring?


Well this might be considered a good sign to some. He sort of suprised me because I reached up there and its a dark corner of this basement and I felt his cold body, It was then I shined a flashlight up there and spotted him. I think he was just as startled as me. That was the last thing on my mind this early in the year I have never seen them out this time of year. Guess his sleep was cut short maybe from people working in the house. We took him outside and let him go and he slithered down a ground hog hole maybe to continue his sleep.

Electrical License


This is a good example of why all electricians should have an electrical License, anyone who has ever been in a building that has been restored after a fire will notice this isn't the first time this house has caught fire since the white paint is all over everything in the house.They spray it to kill the smell I am told.

I hate to see a fire because it means a family has been displaced and probably lost everything they owned. I didn't hear anything specific as to an exact location of where this fire started but this was in the worst area of the fire. The on the "FLY" splice is a BIG no no but it doesn't appear to be what started this otherwise it would have melted away.

This Is Scary

I imagine this is a homeowners attempt at saving himself a few dollars instead of hiring an electrician, or at least I would hope so, It is also one reason why we need homeowners insurance.

This is nice

This was in a hallway of an apartment building, #1 the electrician who did this should have known better and #2 the dry waller should have told the superintendent or his foreman. It is no wonder why many states are requiring electricians to have a license. I have one and firmly believe all electricians should have to. When I took my exam it was 50 questions and 5 or 10 equations and you had to have at least an 80% to pass. Then after you get it you must pay every year to renew it last year was $50.00 this year is probably more but is far better than getting caught doing electrical work without one considering it can be up to a $500.00 fine per violation.
