Aged Care Job Interview Tips
Look good
Wear clean, neat clothes that are safe for a workplace. Practical clothes like pants and a t-shirt would be appropriate for many aged care job interviews. The patients you will work with may come from a wide variety of social and religious backgrounds so do not wear clothes with offensive words or pictures.
Be on time
You will need to be on time every day for work, so be on time for the interview. It's good to arrive 10 minutes early so you have time to calm down and catch your breathe. Take a water bottle with you because you might be talking for a long time.
Be polite
You will be working with many aged care patients every day. You might need to help them with intimate personal manners. If you are polite, it shows people that you respect them. It will help you build good relationships with your patients. Start by being polite in the interview and you can show your employer you have good manners.
Don't want to work in Aged Care any more?
Sometimes it's good to try a new type of work. If you have worked in aged care and love working as a carer, one of these courses can open up exciting new work opportunities for you:
Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care – this course will allow you to go and work in child care centres. You can work with babies and little children as a child care worker. You will look over them while they play, help them learn, feed them food and drinks and make sure they are safe.
Certificate III in Disability Care – this course will allow you to work with people with a disability. They might be little children, adults or aged care patients. Disability care workers can help disabled people live a normal life. You will normally do work around the house and provide personal care, but also take people on walks, to the gym, to see movies, to get coffee and other normal activities.

I would like to know the answer to the above questions. I have fair idea. Thanks
HI thank you for your assistance in the questions. To better prepare myself. Is it possible to attain some examples to the questions. It would be great to ease being nervous, especially if you have been unemployed for sometime.
thank you
The Aged Care Industry is in allot of trouble if people really need all the answers to these questions and then secure a position, I'm searching for helpful tips and get a general jist of questions asked to prepare me, Figen olcer sounds the same as me just needing to get my words around the right way, know it in my head but not practicing out loud or bouncing answe rs of a real person,ill be talking the answers out to myself when I get ready in the morning lol
Could we please get some answers to guestions.
Is there any answers age care
Can I get the answer for question above?
Can I please get the answers to all the above questions. Will help alot.thank you.
Can I please get the answers to all the above questions. Will help boost my confidence. Thank You.
this is what frustrated me doing the course! Everyone wants a quick easy solution to get into aged care such as wanting the trainers to give answers for them!
THank you for this great guide on how to prepare… yes the answers would be helpful but then it would put me in the category of being a carer who really does not know how to be one in theory, as it is such a hard industry to get into I think the interview should be screening out the ones who have no idea!
Can I please get the answers to all the above questions. Will help alot.thank you.
Oh my god! Are you all serious?? If you need the answers perhaps you aren't right for the job? All these questions are easily answered if you know what you are doing!!
If you don't know the answers to most of these you shouldn't be nursing anybody!!
Im only new to this profession and i to cant believe people want the answers to these questions ????????????????????????????????The answers are all easy and people should already know before they even go looking for interviews ????????????????
I agree with Kristie, you just need to THINK about the questions and write answers down for yourself. I found the scenario questions so helpful,
I have just turned 50 and have been a primary carer for my father and mother who have both passed away now. Mum ended up in a nursing home and I feel I would love to contribute to that area now, but I have lost my confidence (I used to be an Admin Officer at my local Council for 14 years), then in between having a family of my own, caring for my folks and running a cleaning business, I am unfulfilled but so unsure of myself, my age for a start! Anyway, the thought is there and in July I hope to start a Cert III in Aged Care and then hopefully get local work placement
we need answer to please thanks
Oh wow, these are some neat interview questions for someone who is wanting to help out in an aged care center. I guess it's something that the staff does to determine if each individual will treat the elderly with great care. Do all aged care centers do the same things as well? http://www.evergreenlifecare.org.au
Great list of questions to help prepare for an interview, I am still studying my cert 3 course but have an opportunity to get a foot in the door with a community organisation. I had to interview just to get into the TAFE course in doing, so many applicants and not enough spaces, that was hard and asked many questions I didn't even think they would of eg how have you dealt with a conflict in the work place, how would you put someone at ease when assisting with personal care, will you be able to assist with toileting a client etc. Just have to be prepared, be honest and show that you are a caring natured person that's fit the role.
Hello please we need answers
Can i have a answer please??
This is what I wanted !
Could I have these answers as well??
This is soo helpful wow! May I please have the answers to these questions?
Answers would be very helpful
The amount of people asking for the 'answers' to these questions is beyond belief. If you personally do not have the answers yourself then you shouldn't be in any job, let alone looking after people who require care with excellent communication. Goodness me, what a sad state of affairs. This isn't a page where answers are provided, you have to relate or apply your OWN answers. I hope no one has to tie their shoelaces.
Seriously I was just going to say that, they cant even see how many people have already asked for answers and again they are asking for the same thing. These are really basic questions, most of them are related to your own personality and behaviour. Some are situational questions for eg there is one question above-when the blender is broken how would you provide the vitamised meal to the residents..simply put yourself in that situation and think what if this happens in your house ..I would say something like this – I would use the hand blender or a whisker or a potato masher, basically anything which would do the job, if i cant find any of that then I'll give those residents something like custard or ready made pureed or anything similar to that available in the kitchen but at the same time I would call and request the management to provide a working blender asap.
Guys please use your common knowledge and figure out your own answer and there is no right or wrong here, the interviewers just want to know you better and what kind of an employee you would prove.
Good luck to all of you.
and yes I have an interview in four days time, This is my first interview in five years. i hope i get the job 🙂
Agreed Sid
Hi I have just moved over from England I have a interview but be for that I have a assessment and two questions to answer. Would it be written or is it multiple choice because i have never had to do this before I have been working for fifteen years.
are you able to provide the answers please
i just want to ask if do i need to pass a resume and a cover letter to the aged care facility if im just applying for my vocational placement ? and does it has interview with the vocational placement?
Thank you for a GREAT list of questions that we are able to go over to prepare for an interview. I'm quite frustrated to read everyone's requests for answers. Why would there be generic answers to these questions, I will answer differently from the next person, so there is no answer to give people. As someone else said, if you need answers, then maybe you shouldn't be in the industry. I'm looking forward to beginning either my disability or aged care certificate with Inspire, having already completed my training and assessment, I know they are up there with the best in training providers in Australia.
Thank you for taking the time to supply this ever so helpful list of questions.
Recently completed cert 3 in Aged care and cert 3 in HACC,have interview with facility and regional manager next week.
If we have the intelligence to pass our cert 3 just blows my mind as to why some can't find simply answers to your above question hehe.
Thanks Again..
Wow the amount of people needing answers, one can not simply answer questions for you as they are personal experience asked for the person having the interview, so you will need to answer them yourselves, also these may not be the questions you will be asked instead it is a simple guideline to what maybe asked of you.
Can i get answers above this questions please it will be appreciated.?
For everyone asking for the answers you should not be allowed to work in aged care. These are People's lives you are dealing with and you should be educated enough to answer them . you are endangering people with your lack of knowledge .
• Interview Question #8: "If a dementia client became aggressive what would you do?"
Follow the work instruction.
Would this be an ok response?
The Topic starts by a Person asking for answers
Many people are asking if you are asking the answer then you should not be working in Aged Care? What is the relevance of that question? Obviously No one has the answer otherwise they would have answered it. There is no endanger to any resident just because you were not able to answer any questions properly at an Aged Care facility. This is nonsense. Knowledge and experience takes time and patience. All one has to do is learn keep mind take notes never ever take risks and you will be fine. K-an you are a complete arse! You are not endangering anyone's life if this person is only wanting to be prepared at an interview.
Please give us some tips to answer these question for a successful outcome. Appreciate it alot
Hi, I just came across this as I am preparing for an interview. Having said that, the answers to all the questions are all common sense and furthermore they all can be found on line, but the questions can be worded differently and if you learn off the answers like a parrot, then what??/ One need to understand the overall picture of what profession as a whole and then only you will realise the importance of learning and having knowledge as the job involves a human being most of whom are all vulnerable..
The person doing the job needs to know the workings of the profession. The person who can really answer questions about yourself is you……your weakness, strengths etc.
Best of luck to all
Can I please have all answers from above questions please that can help me a lot thanks shayal ???? ????
thank you, that help me alot
Hello All,
It is sad to read the amount of individuals who are asking for answers to get a job. If you have attended your classes and placement, then you should have actively participated and learnt the skills necessary to be able to respond. I would be sad to employ any person who could not respond independently to each situation presented. How are you going to respond to each situation if you are on your own. I would rather hear a response that is your own than a prescripted response. Make your own responses, you are wanting to work in an industry that has people are vulnerable. If you cannot answer them, maybe you need to go back to school. I want be concerned if you were looking after one of my loved ones.
Good luck with getting a job and take ownership for learning.
Very helpful questions. Thank you very much.
Can I get answers if above answer thank you
Can u give me answer for those questions. Thanks
Wow. Appreciate the list of interview questions, really will be helpful as I'm preparing for my interview.

When China's ranking communists file into the Great Hall of the People, you can spot the invited guests, the retired but still-influential men in their 70s, 80s and even 90s: Most of them no longer dye their hair the requisite jet black of Beijing's working leaders.
These men typically have no official posts anymore but continue to make their preferences known. They work behind the scenes to promote their proteges and allies to top posts on the party's Politburo.
Foremost among them is ex-President Jiang Zemin, who watched Thursday's opening of a pivotal Communist Party congress through enormous glasses. An aide helped him to his seat next to outgoing President Hu Jintao.
In the off-stage machinations to stack the lineup of China's new leadership to be announced late next week, these old-timers are hard at work.
"The role of the elders in the informal selection of Politburo members continues to be crucial," said Jonathan Holslag, a research fellow at the Institute for Contemporary China Studies at the University of Brussels. "Especially in times of domestic stress, I expect this clan politics to make it more difficult to reform."
Among those front and center at this week's congress was 95-year-old veteran revolutionary and communist kingmaker Song Ping, on whose recommendation Hu had been elevated to the Politburo standing committee at the remarkably young age of 49.
Song, who wore a high-collared Mao suit, frequently dozed off during Thursday's proceedings.
The clout of Song and Jiang reflects the party's traditional deference to its elders, but also its lack of transparency and failure to institutionalize its succession processes through open elections or other steps. The power of the elders, a largely conservative group, is also seen as inhibiting reforms that might erode their influence or harm their economic interests in the state-controlled economy.
Ensuring the promotion of proteges burnishes the credentials of retired leaders, ensures them some say in affairs of state, and _ perhaps most importantly _ protects them and their families from being investigated over corruption or other improprieties committed while in office.
The practice of elders exercising influence behind the scenes was established by Deng Xiaoping, who remained paramount leader even after relinquishing his official titles.
In one of the most famous instances, Bo Yibo, one of the party's "eight immortals," intervened in 1998 to oust a Jiang rival, Qiao Shi. In return, Jiang for a while became the protector of Bo's son, Bo Xilai, paying back the favor by making him governor of the northeastern province of Liaoning.
Bo Xilai rose to the Politburo but suffered one of the most spectacular falls in Chinese politics this spring thanks to a scandal centered on his wife's involvement in the murder of a British businessman. Bo might have fared differently if Bo Yibo had not died five years ago.
Jiang, who oversaw a four-fold expansion of the economy, the reversion of Hong Kong from British to Chinese rule, and the country's entry into the World Trade Organization, stepped down as party leader in 2002, although he led the commission that controls the armed forces for another two years.
In addition to backing Xi, Jiang is seen as a patron of as many as four leading candidates for the next Politburo Standing Committee to be made public next Thursday, which could leave him with the bulk of the influence on that inner sanctum of power.
Jiang's picks reflect his values of cautious economic reform matched with the party's overwhelming dominance of political life. But one area where he may have lost his influence is over the military, where recent top appointments seem to reflect preferences of Hu, who is stepping aside as party leader at the congress and as president next spring.
As he leaves office, Hu, 69, will himself be moving into the elder role.
Though his decade as president and party leader has been largely unremarkable, he's solidified his standing through his network of contacts dating from the 1980s, when he headed the China Youth League, which grooms university students for party positions.
In addition to Hu's top protege and incoming premier Li Keqiang, only one other prospective Standing Committee member is closely associated with the Youth League faction. However, Hu has ensured that allies occupy leading positions at provincial levels, guaranteeing his influence for years to come.
Hu also consolidated control over military appointments, especially members of the Central Military Commission, which controls the armed forces. He may hold onto the panel's chairmanship after stepping down as party chief, as Jiang did.
There has been little public outcry against the power of the elders: The tendency to cherish consensus and stability seems to trump any call for their influence to be curbed.
That could change: In his address Thursday, Hu himself urged greater transparency within party affairs based on "equality and democratic principle."
Yet, until the party moves on such reforms, the enduring influence of the elders will perpetuate factionalism.
"A leadership based on personal patronage and divided loyalty at the highest level will only create obsequious bureaucrats and potentially greater political instability," said U.S. Naval Academy China analyst Yu Maochun.
"Factionalism and purges will inexorably arise, and that has proven catastrophic for China," Yu said.

BOSTON — This Bruins-Red Wings playoff series almost wasn't the first time that the Smith brothers met in the postseason.
In 2010, Brendan Smith was a junior defenseman at Wisconsin. Reilly was a freshman winger at Miami University. Both schools made it to the Frozen Four in Detroit.
But while Brendan's Badgers cruised into the national championship game with an 8-1 blasting of RIT, Reilly and the RedHawks were on the wrong side of a 7-1 loss to Boston College in the other semifinal.
"I was pretty upset when we lost in the semifinals of the Frozen Four and wasn't able to play him in the national championship game because I know it would have been a fun experience for both of us," Reilly said. "But I guess this is just a bigger stage now."
The Smiths have faced off six times during the regular season in their NHL careers. There were two meetings last season when Reilly was with the Stars, then the four Boston-Detroit games this year.
With older Rory – now a professional lacrosse player with the National Lacrosse League's Colorado Mammoth – the brothers often turned their Mimico, Ont., basement into their own private rink, even with playoff series. Although unlike Bruins-Red Wings, those never had much of a chance of reaching seven games.
"I remember, it never seemed like we got to Game 7 because our parents would break it up," Brendan said Friday morning after the Wings' morning skate at TD Garden. "There was too much bickering. My dad's got funny stories about it, but he knew once it too loud in the basement, he had to call it quits because it was too rowdy."
Were there injuries?
"We were young, so teeth just grew back," Brendan said. "Now if you lose them, they're toast."
Brendan and Reilly were at home last July when they saw on Twitter than Reilly was part of the Tyler Seguin-Loui Eriksson swap between the Stars and Bruins.
"We were kind of thrown off, and then when we thought about it, we thought it was a great fit for him, that he can earn his position and go in and play hard," Brendan said. "He worked really hard in the offseason. I wouldn't say he was nervous, but he was really adamant of going into camp and getting in good shape. And look what he's done, he's done a good job. … He's a mature kid for his age and I have to give him a lot of credit in that sense."
Out of there
The Bruins had hoped that waiting until Friday to open the playoffs would allow some of their players to return from injury and illness. It wasn't enough though.
Forwards Chris Kelly (back) and Daniel Paille (head), as well as flu-stricken defensemen Matt Bartkowski and Kevan Miller, were all out of the lineup Friday night.
Call-up Justin Florek filled in for Kelly on the third line and made his NHL debut, while Jordan Caron subbed in on the fourth line. Midseason acquisitions Andrej Meszaros and Corey Potter were the blue line replacements, with Potter making his playoff debut. ...
Red Wings coach Mike Babcock, who also helmed Canada to a second straight Olympic gold medal in February, credited Bruins coach and Canadian associate coach Claude Julien with helping in Sochi.
"I thought he was real good on the bench in the games," Babcock said. "He was someone I could bounce stuff off, he gave me ideas, he helped with our penalty kill. We had a real good staff, a lot of coaches who worked hard and enjoyed themselves at the same time." …
Injured defenseman Adam McQuaid and Paille skated early Friday morning. It was Paille's first time skating since he hit his head on the ice last weekend.

Last April, secularist author Susan Jacoby and Christian apologist Dinesh D'Souza debated each other over the question, "Is Christianity Good for American Politics?" While Jacoby's argument was more accurate, D'Souza employed a host of logical fallacies and historical inaccuracies to gain a rhetorical edge. For this RD Extra, doubtcaster Jeremy Beahan joins Ed Brayton of Culture Wars Radio for some in-depth post-debate analysis.

| 4.7°C Belfast
Comedian Harry Enfield has criticised former BBC director-general Mark Thompson, saying that he did not stand up for the corporation.
Thompson left the BBC in 2012 after eight years, in which the corporation suffered budget cuts and redundancies, and scandals including the Sachsgate affair.
Singling out the departure of BBC1 controller Peter Fincham after a documentary trailer shown at a media screening misrepresented the Queen, Enfield told Radio Times: " The problem is under Mark Thompson, [the BBC] didn't stand up for itself.
"It would just sack someone if anyone criticised it.
"Like Peter Fincham when he was sacked, when he so-called resigned, Thompson should have come out and said, 'OK, he said this thing that was slightly inaccurate about the Queen because he was briefed by a private company that's come in because everything has to be private now."
"I'll get him to resign once any of your [newspaper] editors who have written anything inaccurate about the royal family resign.'
"You know, come out fighting instead of whingeing. He didn't do that. It was a bad thing for the BBC and put it on a bad footing for the future..."
Meanwhile, John Lloyd , the producer and writer whose credits include Spitting Image, Blackadder and QI, said programmes were suffering because TV executives have never made a programme.
"The people in charge of television haven't actually made any television. Most of them haven't produced, directed, written, edited, designed or acted in a single programme," he told the magazine.
"This is not a BBC problem. It's endemic to the whole of television, not just here but all over the world."

CROSSFIT: MURPH: Entered!

Sprint. Jump. Pull. Push. Press. Squat. Sprint. RUN.
That's CrossFit. Sprinting, jumping, pulling, pushing, pressing, squatting and more sprinting. I love it. I'm having such a great time! I began with two sessions a week and then found myself attending three each week and last week I attended 4. Sweet progression.
I am PRing in everything. My strength amazes me. When I compare myself to others in the box, which I try not to do, I am pretty close to the bottom, but when I compare myself to where I began, I am certainly getting better. My disc damaged side is much weaker and I really struggle with that..but I'm doing the best I can.
I find CrossFit much more fun than lifting for 45 minutes at the gym, by myself, same lifts, same thing. With CrossFit I am still lifting heavy but doing so much more! The workouts are varied, fast, incredible moves that I have never completed before.
Steve and Troy built me a jump box! Yes, a box which I jump onto. It's 20 inches tall, wood, portable. I haul it from the garage to the grass. When I first completed box jumps at CF I was afraid, I held Susan's hand because I was sure I was going to kill myself. It was a 14" box! I moved to 16" and now am not afraid of a 20". They will be building me a 24" box soon, I am sure!
We are running a competition right now. Last Saturday we completed "FRAN" which consists of thrusters and pull ups. I completed my workout in 13:30. We had our time recorded, our body weight, our weight lifted, measurements. In 4 weeks we'll see how we progressed. I love it!
On Memorial Day there is a "MURPH" workout contest at a box in St. Cloud. MURPH consists of this:
1 Mile Run
100 Pull-ups
200 Push-ups
300 Squats
1 mile Run
7 members of our box are entering and I think I'm going to as well. It will be difficult, but if it was easy I wouldn't be interested. I have to register by May 7 so I need to decide. Quickly.
I'm increasing my mileage on road for the next few weeks as I have the Minneapolis Marathon the first week of June. I enjoyed it very much last year and since I'm out for Kettle 100, Minneapolis Marathon will do :)

Lost in the adventures of Luis Castillo at Yankee Stadium last Friday was the reality that even if Castillo had made a game-ending catch, Francisco Rodriguez would have begun tonight's Mets game in Baltimore having recorded consecutive saves in which he had allowed two base runners and just escaped with his life.
4 Comments
You're on point, Keith: Quite a few have overlooked how K-Rod allowing 2 on base set the stage for what happened next, last Friday night in the Bronx.
How many teams have more than one closer type in the pen? I seem to recall the Mets having one of the best collective bullpen ERAs in the bigs this year. That being so, they'd probly be better equipped to handle losing their closer than most teams.
Again, sort of off topic, but I would desperately like to know what you have to say about this column: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?id=4268999 it's an interesting question and there's some pretty (to me) fun facts in there, and I do think of you when I think of random facts about 1800s baseball.
Exactly Keith. K-Rod is fine and Trevor Hoffman is still awesome! GO BREWERS!

CALGARY — A new generation of royalty met an old and endangered art form when Will and Kate re-emerged into public view on Thursday afternoon and were officially welcomed to Calgary with a White Hat Ceremony.
The Cowtown equivalent of offering the keys to the city, the tradition of "white-hatting" stretches back to the 1950s, when a Calgary mayor with a flair for showmanship invented a way to welcome notables to the city by perching the indelible symbol of the Stampede atop their heads.
Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi presented Will and Kate with their hats on a sweltering airport tarmac when they arrived, offering them brim up and filled with the good wishes of the citizens of Cowtown. The couple examined the hats appreciatively, but to the disappointment of the crowd of about 100 waiting fans they didn't put them on before disappearing in their motorcade.
Brian Hanson, vice-president of Smithbilt Hats, handcrafted the headgear that greeted the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
A soft-spoken man who automatically touches a fingertip to the brim of his brown cowboy hat when introduced to someone, Hanson stands in the hot, dusty workshop of Smithbilt headquarters, just south of where the Bow River splits around St. George's Island. Behind him, dozens of unfinished hats sit on a work table, looking like strange felt mushrooms in their half-formed state.
The company produces three styles of white hat. The New West made of glazed canvas goes for $18.50, and Smithbilt recommends it for large groups who need to be Stampede-ready. The "truly gorgeous" Old West model is made of Merino wool and priced at $72.50, precisely sized to the wearer.
The Cadillac of Smithbilt hats is the Wild West, an "Official White Hat" made of 100 per cent rabbit fur and ringing in at $199.99.
According to the company's history, Calgary's iconic white hat was born in 1946, when Morris Shumiatchew of Smithbilt Hats introduced a pure white cowboy hat made of imported Russian felt.
Two years later, the hats became a de facto symbol of the city when the Calgary Stampeders competed for the Grey Cup and 250 raucous fans wearing Smithbilt hats descended on Toronto to support their team, bringing with them a chuckwagon, 12 horses and a hat for the Toronto mayor.
When Don MacKay, a man Smithbilt describes as a "born promoter," became Calgary mayor in 1950, he started presenting the hats to prominent visitors to the city.
"The white hat is a symbol of the city which represents western heritage and hospitality," says Smithbilt president Bryce Nimmo. "Western heritage and values doesn't mean cowboys. It means that we have this sort of western mystique, this flavour. We embrace that. You go to Vegas and they know what they are. You go to New York and they know what they are."
On Thursday, Will and Kate joined a long and varied list of celebrities that have been white-hatted, including the Dalai Lama, Pope John Paul II, Wayne Gretzky, Bruce Springsteen, Luciano Pavarotti, Oprah Winfrey, Mickey Mouse, George W. Bush, Vladimir Putin, Bill Clinton and Tony Blair.
For the high-end hats made of felt, Hanson forms the crown by moulding the material over a hatblock and stretching the brim out flat, leaving it to dry for a week before trimming the brim to a uniform width.
"I usually leave them open like this so when someone comes in, I can shape them to fit their face and different styles," he says, grabbing a brown hat-in-progress from the work table and flipping it over to display the battered wooden hatblock inside.
The famous Calgary white hat has a distinct shape and less variety than other types of cowboy hats, he says, but he "tweaked" the headgear he created for Kate and William, with the help of measurements provided by the palace and passed along by the mayor's office.
For Kate, Hanson made the flat portion at the front of the brim narrower, giving it a feminine twist to suit her delicate features and narrow face, while the front of William's brim is wider and more rugged-looking.
"Most people's heads aren't straight, so if you buy one out of the store it might be off to the side," he says, lifting the brown hat he's wearing and cocking it to one side. "So I'll just mark one with chalk before I shape it, so it's lined up with your eyes."
Without physical access to his royal models as he created their hats out of snowy rabbit-fur felt, Hanson says photos helped him tailor the styles.
He grabs a finished hat from the store at the front of the building and demonstrates the disappearing art of custom-shaping, holding the hat in a plume of steam to make the material pliable and then creasing the crown and coaxing the brim into the perfect curve. As he works, his hands fly over the material as though he's doing it by feel alone, though he periodically holds the hat up to eye level to peer at the angles.
"I've got so many other hats to make, it was just another one on the list," he says of the pre-Stampede period, when business is busiest. "But they are special, of course, I took a little more time."
Out front, the store is decorated with knotty pine beams and smells like leather, with hundreds of hats perched on racks on the walls. A single bright crimson cowboy hat punctuates a wall of more sedate brown and ivory models, and a separate section shows off more flamboyant tophats, bowlers and Indiana Jones-style fedoras.
Smithbilt's custom-designed hat boxes, which look like cases for miniature tubas, are piled along the baseboards, while a steady stream of customers walks out into the blazing-hot day, carrying single white hats or tall stacks of them.
The Smithbilt store also offers a full range of spa treatments for "old friends" battered by a few too many dusty trails. A "stiffen and shape" will run you $30 while a "complete renovation" is available for $95.
"If you spill your whiskey on your hat, rinse the spot immediately and brush it with your finger. Let the hat dry out naturally," the company advises. "Do the same for yourself."
Smithbilt offers a rundown of hat etiquette as nuanced as the protocol for meeting royals: remove hats upon entering an elevator, restaurant or home; never wear them during a meal; touch the brim lightly when greeting a friend; raise the hat by the crown when meeting a female; and remove your hat and place it over your heart during the national anthem.
"In adopting the hat as your signature piece, you must also accept the responsibility of hat etiquette," the company admonishes. "Often ignored, hat etiquette will show that your uniqueness extends not only to your choice of headwear, but to your manners, as well."

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'body relationships' tag.
Some reviews have been posted for Victoria Zackheim's new anthology For Keeps: Women Tell the Truth About Their Bodies, Growing Older and Acceptance worth taking a look at as well and reading her latest work.
Words and our collective voices have the power to heal. Of course that task is not so straight forward in ED recovery of our children, but they too need to find their way back to their true Selves pre/post-ED; get beyond the entrenched self-loathing, negative self-talk perpetuated by malnutrition and rigid/ritualized behaviors. And through regaining their health, with continued love and support, they begin to slowly find their own sense of strength, determination, self-acceptance and healing.
Zackheim's collection of essays is especially meaningful for mothers and daughters, reconnecting to one another and finding joy vs abhorrence through our stages of Life and change, which society and our culture still seem hellbent on perpetuating unrealistic ideals.
Parents need to maintain a sense of themselves, separate through their child's recovery from an eating disorder. They need to take time for themselves, self-care/self-love, and for one another, as a family with other siblings, and within a marriage, relationship. It's important to find others who support and comfort you through your child's illness, and other parents who share your struggle are absolutely invaluable in helping one another which culminates its own collective of powerful and healing stories.

Dems quick to fundraise off pay vote
Democrats wasted little time trying to capitalize on the GOP rejection of the Paycheck Fairness Act, sending out a fundraising solicitation less than three hours after the vote.
As Senate Democratic women gave a news conference blasting Republicans for unanimously voting to block a bill aimed at providing women with more tools to fight discrimination, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee sent out an email appeal for more dollars to take on Republicans this fall.
"Unbelievable! The GOP just filibustered fair pay legislation. Right now, women earn only 77 cents for every $1 men earn. That's just wrong," read the email, which included a "contribute" button. "Tell the GOP: We support equal pay for equal work!"
( Also on POLITICO: Senate GOP blocks pay equity bill)
The DSCC might have more opportunities to fundraise off the Paycheck Fairness Act in the coming months. Sen. Barbara Mikulski of Maryland, the bill's lead sponsor, said Republicans have not seen the last of her legislation.
"We, the Democrats of the Senate, are going to fight another day and have another vote to make sure the women of the United States of America have a fair shot at equal pay for equal work," Mikulski said. "We're going to press on."
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid wouldn't say specifically when the Democrats would bring up the bill. Asked when it would come up again, Reid checked his watch and gestured toward Mikulski: "I'm going to look down here and find out, get kind of an idea of when I'm going to do it."

Business Challenge
Handling more than one million prices per second, the backend systems of CMC Markets enable spread betting, contract for difference (CFD), and foreign exchange trades for over 80,000 active customers. When CMC launched its newest trading platform, IT needed best-in-class automation to manage the platform's 80+ applications, and keep them running reliably for customer trades in 3,000 different markets.
BMC Solution
BladeLogic Server Automation (now called TrueSight Automation for Servers) enabled CMC to roll out the new platform quickly, efficiently, and reliably. Additionally, the solution supports ongoing management of applications as well as monitoring of application status across development, user acceptance testing (UAT), performance testing, production, disaster recovery (DR), and pre-production environments.
Business Impact
The BMC solution delivers automated deployment and management of the NextGen trading platform, enabling CMC Markets to streamline processes, reduce costs, and adopt a more agile development methodology.
- Staffing requirements for deployment of a typical release dropped 50% and deployment time dropped 75%.
- Overtime costs associated with application deployments and updates dropped by a significant margin.
- A 60% reduction in disaster recovery switchover times helped the staff better align disaster recovery (DR) processes with legal mandates.
- Automation eliminates downtime, enabling the company to meet the 24x7 availability needs of its clients.
- BMC provides a foundation for standardizing how applications are deployed, run, configured, and structured on all servers.
"BMC has been central to the rollout of our new trading platform, not only reducing the need for manual intervention but also enabling us to automate both deployment and management processes."— Mike Brennan, Automation Engineer, CMC Markets

Evolution Hoax
Death does not occur by chance. As is the case with all other incidents, it happens by God's decree. Just as the birth date of a man is predestined, so also is the date of his death right down to the very last second. Man rushes towards that last moment, rapidly leaving behind every hour, every minute granted to him. The death of everyone, its location and time, as well as the way one dies are all predetermined.
Despite this, however, the majority of people assume death to be the last point of a logical sequence of events, whereas its actual reasons are known only to God. Everyday death stories appear in newspapers. After reading these stories, you probably hear ignorant comments like: "He could have been saved, if necessary precautions had been taken" or "He would not have died, if so and so had happened." Not a minute longer or less can a person live, other than the time determined for him. However, people, who are remote from the consciousness granted by faith, view death as a component of a sequence of coincidences. In the Qur'an, God warns believers against this distorted rationale which is peculiar to disbelievers:
You who have faith! Do not be like those who disbelieve and say of their brothers, when they went on journeys or military expeditions, 'If they had only been with us, they would not have died or been killed.' God will cause them to regret their words. It is God Who ordains life and death. God sees what you do. (Surah Al 'Imran: 156)
Assuming death to be a coincidence is sheer ignorance and imprudence. As the verse above suggests, this gives great spiritual anguish and irresistible trouble to man. For disbelievers or those failing to have faith in the Qur'anic sense, losing a relative or a loved one is a cause of anguish and remorse. Attributing death to bad luck or negligence, they think there could be some leeway to avoid death. This is the rationale which indeed adds to their grief and regret. This grief and regret, however, is nothing but the torment of disbelief.
Nevertheless, contrary to the received wisdom, the cause of death is neither an accident, nor a disease nor anything else. It is surely God Who creates all these causes. Once the time granted to us terminates, our life ends for these apparent reasons. Meanwhile, none of the material resources devoted to saving one from death will bring another breath of life. God underscores this divine law in the following verse:
No self can die except with God's permission, at a pre-determined time... (Surah Al 'Imran: 145)
A believer is aware of the temporary nature of the life of this world. He knows that our Lord, Who gave him all the blessings he has enjoyed in this world, will take his soul whenever He wills and call him to account for his deeds. However, since he has spent his entire life to earn God's good pleasure, he does not worry about his death. Our Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) also referred to this good character in one of his prayers:
Jabir ibn Abdullah narrated, "When God's Apostle (peace be upon him) commenced the prayer he recited: God is the Greatest; then said: Verily my prayer, my sacrifices, my life and my death are for God, the Lord of the worlds." (Al-Tirmidhi, 262)

The world's nations are coming together to create one all-powerful estrogen-free vaginal ring! Well, kind of: researchers from the Dominican Republic, Chile, the U.S., and Edinburgh are working together to design a ring containing ullipristal acetate (the same drug in the emergency contraceptive ella) that would be similar to the NuvaRing, but also lessen blood flow and have none of the estrogen-related side effects that impede women from using some contraceptives. Score!
The ring — can we call it "my precious," or is that too creepy? — is still in the early stages, but here's hoping testing goes smoothly, because this sounds pretty awesome.
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's...a new vaginal ring! [Bedsider]

TORRANCE, California (AP) — Honda Motor Co. says it's recalling more than 1,000 new Honda Civics in the U.S. because they could leak fuel.
The 2012 Civic went on sale earlier this spring. The recall affects 1,156 cars, many of which haven't even been sold yet. Honda said they'll be repaired while they're still on dealer lots.
Honda said the Civic's fuel line could leak because of a manufacturing error. No injuries or fires have been reported related to the defect.
Honda will repair the fuel line for free. It will begin notifying customers of the recall on May 27. Owners can determine if their cars need the repair on Honda's Web site.

We'll take this moment to be completely honest.
We love Austin as much as the next guy wearing a tie-dye "Keep Austin Weird" tee, but Summer NAMM in Nashville is the shit. Since there's pretty much an incredible picker around every corner – and on many of the corners themselves – you couldn't turn around without hearing someone playing twangy, bent double-stops better than you.
Whether it was the demo guy in the booth or the entertainment at industry parties large and small, Nashville felt like a celebration thrown for guitarists by guitarists, and we just happened to get the invite.
Interestingly, some of the major industry players like Seymour Duncan and Paul Reed Smith opted to eschew the booth to instead scope out the show from the floor, and even Gibson – whose coinciding Summer Jam was a massive draw – scaled back the booth in their hometown. But after a show that exceeded every metric, from excitement to traffic, NAMM could be back in Nashville to stay – and SD, PRS and Big G might be bringing a lot more next year.
Of course, there were still tons of new products to check out on the show floor, and they weren't all the Moog Guitar. Here's a sampling of some of the gear that got our mouths watering in Nashville. When you're done with these pages, head online topremierguitarto see exclusive videos from the show, including some great performances by pickers like Brent Mason and Vince Gill, and our exclusive interview with George Gruhn. Here's to Music City USA.
The Moog Guitar
Hands down, the debut of the Moog Guitar was the biggest buzz at the show. Featuring revolutionary technology that works its magic on the strings themselves (instead of working through an effected signal), the Moog Guitar can indefinitely sustain a string or remove energy from the strings in Mute mode, yielding a number of cool, banjo-esque sounds. Also included is a Moog ladder filter and a completely blendable piezo pickup for an extreme range of sounds. Combine all of that with a 5A maple top, a swamp ash body and ebony fingerboard (which look much better in person, we'll note) and you have, without a doubt, the innovation of the year.
Retro-Sonic Effects
Even though it was the company's first NAMM appearance, they had seven fully featured pedals to show off. Included was the company's Chorus, based on the Roland CE1 but much more guitar friendly (smaller and 9V compatible), and their Phaser, which is based off an old MXR Script 90 pedal and features Level and Depth controls. Every pedal sounded impressively deep and expansive. Thanks, Canada.
starting at $175
Peavey 2084V6 Head
Peavey is poised to get into the custom amplifier business within the next couple of months. One example of these handmade, point-to-point amplifiers is the 2084V6 head, which features both EL84s and 6V6s in a diminutive frame; players will be able to select between the two via the rear panel. Featuring 20 watts, a selectable tube or solid-state rectifier and custom colored tolex, these amps look to be worth the wait.
price TBA
Hahn Guitars Model 228
If you've been searching for a time machine back to the Golden Era, luthier Chihoe Hahn has an unbelievable deal for you. Made from a solid piece of swamp ash and packed with Lollar pickups, the Model 228 is truly a handmade instrument; even the hardware is fabricated in Hahn's Garnerville, New York shop. The 228 also features a wafer-thin nitro finish and a Bakelite pickguard. This has to be heard to be believed.
starting at $2800

We have known about the perils of climate change for more than two decades. But global efforts to slow it down have largely failed. Even if we could stop producing greenhouse gases tomorrow, the climate will continue changing. As a result we must not only intensify our efforts to reduce climate change but start preparing for its inevitable effects.Read More
Design Study
Sea Level Rise at Mission Creek
San Francisco's Mission Creek is highly vulnerable to flooding from sea level rise and storms. SPUR worked with the city, the Bay Conservation and Development Commission and the Delta Alliance of the Netherlands to propose design concepts that could provide resilience for this rapidly growing neighborhood.Read More
Ongoing Initiative
Ocean Beach Master Plan
Ocean Beach, one of San Francisco's most treasured landscapes, faces significant challenges. Since 2010, SPUR has led an extensive interagency and public process to develop the Ocean Beach Master Plan, a comprehensive vision to address sea level rise, protect infrastructure, restore coastal ecosystems and improve public access.Read More
Ongoing Initiative
Climate Adaptation
In the fight against climate change, the Bay Area has two important responsibilities. We must continue to reduce our carbon emissions and we must prepare for some inevitable environmental change. SPUR's ongoing research and recommendations are laying the groundwork for how local governments can plan for both of these challenges.Read More
New Project
Designing With Nature for a Rising Bay
The San Francisco Bay is a beloved and complex place. How do we manage it as sea levels rise? SPUR is partnering with the San Francisco Estuary Institute to develop a region-wide assessment of the shoreline. By dividing the Bay into distinct, manageable areas, we can develop tailored adaptation strategies that will actually work. The project will launch in 2016.
SPUR Report
Safe Enough to Stay
When the next major earthquake strikes, a significant amount of San Francisco's housing may be too damaged to live in as it's being repaired. This means the city is at risk of losing its most important asset: its people. To prevent this loss, San Francisco must take steps to ensure that residents can stay in their homes in the weeks and months after the disaster.Read More
SPUR Report
On Solid Ground
How well will the Bay Area recover after a disaster? The answer depends on whether or not we make good land use planning decisions now. By understanding local earthquake hazards and addressing them before the next disaster, we can reduce the damage our cities will face.Read More
SPUR Report
How Safe Should Our Buildings Be?
How do we decide when a structure is "safe enough"? Engineering standards define how many deaths, how many building demolitions and how long a recovery time we will have. Currently, the City of San Francisco has no adopted performance objectives for these factors. SPUR provides a new framework for improving San Francisco's seismic mitigation policies.Read More
SPUR Report
Much attention is paid to how buildings will perform in a major earthquake. But what about our utility systems for water, electricity and natural gas — or our roads, public transit, ports and airports? Here's how San Francisco can strengthen these "lifelines" and increase its resilience to a major earthquake.Read More
Ongoing Initiative
The Resilient City
We know that another major earthquake will strike San Francisco — we just don't know when. Since 2008, SPUR has led a comprehensive effort to retrofit the buildings and infrastructure that sustain city life. Our Resilient City Initiative recommends steps the city should take before, during and after the next big quake.Read More
SPUR Report
Fossil-Free Bay Area
Fossil fuel use is causing runaway global climate change, but we still have time to reverse course if the world can transition to renewable sources for almost all energy uses. We propose three big ideas for how the Bay Area can end its dependence on fossil fuels and become a model for other urban regions.Read More
SPUR Report
Greening Apartment Buildings
Two-thirds of San Francisco's housing is in multi-family buildings. While new green building codes are important, changing the environmental impact of existing buildings can have a more immediate effect. What will it take to green the buildings we already have?Read More
SPUR Report
Future-Proof Water
Most of the Bay Area's water is imported from outside the region. Today these supplies are regularly threatened by drought, earthquakes and other risks — all of which will intensify with future climate change. Meanwhile, our region of 7 million people will add 2 million more by 2040. Do we have the water we need as we grow?Read More
Learning to Live With Water
The experience of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina shows how imperative resilence and adaptation are as we face a changing world. SPUR's city trip to New Orleans brought back lessons from planners, engineers, policymakers and residents.Read More
Water, Water Everywhere
Since 1934 San Francisco has relied on the Tuolumne River in Yosemite for almost all of its water. But to protect the health of the river and establish a more resilient water source in times of drought and disaster, the city is introducing the use of recycled and groundwater, as well as furthering conservation efforts.Read More
White Paper
Future-Proof Water for Silicon Valley
Silicon Valley's historically reliable water supply has been essential to its growth, but four years of severe drought have revealed the area's dependence on statewide water availability. SPUR researched data for the South Bay that supports sustained conservation and water recycling as the best solution.Read More
SPUR Report
Public Harvest
Urban agriculture has captured the imagination of San Franciscans in recent years. But the city won't realize all the benefits of this growing interest unless it provides more land, more resources and better institutional support.Read More
SPUR Report
Locally Nourished
The Bay Area's food system supports our greenbelt, employs hundreds of thousands of people, and helps reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. SPUR recommends a series of policies to help us more effectively capture the benefits of our regional food system.Read More
SPUR Report
Healthy Food Within Reach
One in 10 adults in the Bay Area struggle to find three meals a day, while more than half of adults are overweight or obese. To meet our basic needs, improve public health and enhance our quality of life, Bay Area residents must have access to healthy food. SPUR recommends 12 actions that local governments can take to improve food access in Bay Area communities.Read More
Ongoing Initiative
Food and Agriculture
The Bay Area is known for its passion for food and its forward-thinking policy. Since 2011, SPUR has spearheaded an effort to combine the two. Our region can lead the nation, demonstrating how municipal policy can catalyze the development of urban agriculture, build a stronger regional food system and create healthier communities.Read More
Green Infrastructure
SPUR Report
Integrated Stormwater Management
San Francisco must start viewing stormwater as a resource and reduce the amount of it that is shunted into the city's treatment system. SPUR explores four inter-related strategies that allow for greater stormwater storage and infiltration of rainwater into the ground while providing numerous community and environmental benefits.Read More
White Paper
Greener and Better Roofs
Many cities around the world have incentives and regulations to encourage green roofs in new construction. San Francisco lags substantially behind others such as Portland, New York, Chicago and Toronto. What can be done to support the development and broader implementation of green roofs in San Francisco?Read More
White Paper
Greening Up
San Francisco is poised to channel significant new investment to integrated urban watershed planning and green infrastructure through a planning process called the Urban Watershed Assessment. In partnership with the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, SPUR convened an advisory group to ask: What is needed to scale up green infrastructure in San Francisco?Read More
