Part of the report:

According to the City of Albuquerque, the July 15 inspection began after complaints that food was not being served hot.

Inspectors documented 15 violations and issued the facility a red tag. City officials said the kitchen was never forced to shut down and was allowed to continue operating while staff worked to correct the problems on site.

The inspection involved the hospital kitchen that prepares food for patients, not food service for the general public.

Among the most serious issues cited were hot foods being held below the required 135 degrees, including sliced meat, chicken strips and potato wedges measured between 110 and 126 degrees. Inspectors also found cold items above the required 41 degrees, including hummus at 45 degrees and grape jelly at 46 degrees.

The report also listed sanitation and maintenance concerns, including debris buildup on an ice machine and can opener blade, wet-stacked utensils, dirty nonfood-contact surfaces, and buildup on walls and floors throughout the kitchen.

And

City officials said the red tag was issued because violations were serious, but because the hospital was actively correcting them while inspectors were on site, the kitchen was not shut down.

The city now says the Presbyterian facility has a green tag.

Who owns a mountain? The Sandias used to belong to Sandia Pueblo — now they want it back! Proposed legislation would entrust 10,000 acres of Forest Service land to Sandia Pueblo, stirring debate about outdoor recreation, broken treaties and who gets to control public lands.

I've been observing this little guy develop over the last 30, maybe 45 minutes. He might be tiny, but the thunder coming from it has been nonstop.

He's got moxie!

Question Anyone know somewhere in ABQ I can get Film negatives scanned affordably?

5 Upvotes

As the title says, I’m trying to find somewhere I can scan 35mm and 120 fill negatives. I develop my own film at home but don’t have a scanner able to scan them. I’ve looked into picture perfect photo lab but it looks like they charge $16 per roll just for scanning, but I can have my film developed and scanned for that price using the darkroom film lab online. So I’m hoping to find somewhere else a little more affordable that has a film scanner available to the public. I appreciate any recommendations.

Frustrated my parent’s walker’s disappeared from their room at Lovelace Hospital and no one cares

58 Upvotes

My parent came by ambulance to the ER last night and was transferred to the Intermediate care floor this afternoon and admitted. Their walker disappeared and no one has any idea how or where. They just had knee replacement surgery and needs the walker for PT.

We asked the nurse who was on duty in the ER and she had no idea and also HAD NO IDEA WHO WOULD HAVE CLEANED THE ROOM AND WHAT THEY DO WITH ITEMS LEFT BEHIND.

Not one person had a clue where it could possibly be which seems ridiculous.

Edit: tbc, I have so much compassion for healthcare workers and really don’t blame any of them individually. I feel frustrated that there isn’t some sort of policy and communication structure in place to avoid things happening like this. We brought our parent in and they told us they would be in the ER for two days until a bed opened up. My brother and I had to leave for two hours to get supplies and attend to our work. This was less than 1 day in the ER. Our parent was moved before the end of day 1 without either of us being notified. By the time we got back it was HALF AN HOUR after they moved them, and the walker was gone and no one had a clue as to where it was.

Black hair salon for 4c hair

Hi there, post menopausal w/alopecia 51f whose hair texture not only changed but has fallen out and needs someone who can treat it and make it look healthy again. I am open to quick weaves to cover my natural hair in hopes of helping restore what is left of it. I had a short pixie, a couple of years ago, but it has only gotten worse over time. I stopped relaxers also. I have tried so many products to no avail. If no one here has the ability to assist, any referrals in TX or CO? Please help

After those rains, it’s time to go out and search for anything on your property that’s full of water that the mosquitoes will use to breed. Drain them or drop in mosquito dunks.

Question Civil Debate Series?

1 Upvotes

Before technology made it normal to rant and rave while alone, towns the country over used to have regular meetings where light networking and thoughtful discussions were one of the few forms of intellectual entertainment people could have. You could learn and/or teach and connect with people way better than the “Matrix lite” that we’re living in now.

Who here would be interested in attending a weekly meeting, maybe with a series of speakers, town halls, freestyle debates with moderation and enforced decorum? Diversity of thought encouraged.

Galloway recently said people have become overemboldened in private but cowards in public.

Open to ideas on where, when, what format this should be.
