I did a playthough of all three not long ago, trying to do all the side quests i could find. I think I clocked up close to 70 hours (Including all DLC). So if you haven't played any of them you're gonna have a looooooooot of hours of gameplay. Awesome :)

The City Council approved Wednesday the $500 million plan to expand the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.
In exchange, the United State Tennis Association will launch an increased community outreach program and make a long-term commitment to fund capital improvements to Flushing Meadows-Corona Park.
The plan calls for tearing down the old Grandstand Stadium and rebuilding it in another part of the U.S. Open complex.
Louis Armstrong Stadium will be renovated, and Arthur Ashe Stadium's infrastructure will be improved.
There will also be more parking spaces and pedestrian walkways.
Officials said construction will be done during down time between tournaments and take about eight years to complete.

Review of chapter "Wesley/Percy I" from
ok my new guess is either dawn or dru. or one of the mini slayers. fabulous chapter. i love this pairing. they're so adorable together. please continue soon
Comments from author:
*puts hand in the air* Oh, I kind of like Dawn, actually!
Even if she wasn't the one I originally had in mind. I'm thinking I should tweak the second Wesley/Percy scene a bit, before I post it. ^_^
Thanks for reviewing.

Review of chapter "Wesley/Percy I" from
So she's one of Wesley's... and knows pretty well Andrew, no?
I'm not really sure... but I'm thinking Dawn
Comments from author:
Oh, that wasn't who I had in mind, but that's actually a really good idea . . . Hmm, maybe I should tweak the second Wesley/Percy scene a bit, before posting it.

Review of chapter "Spike/Neville/Harry I" from
so this mysterious watching figure... the same one that's been watching remus/giles or not? so who would play matchmaker... i'm thinking faith or maybe luna (she's here right?). could be a lot of people actually... well i'm sure you won't leave us hanging for long, cause that would be a mean thing to do and we all know you are not in any way mean to your faithful readers ever. right?
Comments from author:
Never assume anything when you haven't had the pleasure of mailing with yours truly, the utterly amazing--ly crazy CorruptedSmile ! Ah, if only you could read any of the mailmarathons I've had with my friends from around the world . . . Or America, Canada and -- of course -- Europe, anyway. LOL
*shakes head at the unknowing readers who don't me (the author) really well*
Girl, I'm not 'mean' -- I'm EVIL !!! Everybody who knows me says I am. Which means that it must be true . . . right? I mean, even my pen name speaks for itself. I'm all sweet smiles, shy character and innocence when around people who don't know me -- but as soon as they do, I get evil(ish), outspoken, crazy, . . . Hence, the 'corrupted' part of the pen name. ^_^
Now, to answer your question after these ramblings of a crazy person: Of course, I would never purposely leave my readers hanging. *averts eyes* Honest.
Neither of your guesses are right, I'm afraid.
And the next part will be up in a few days. I solemnly promise. *winks*
Thanks for the review, though !

Review of chapter "Giles/Remus I" from
I guess either snape or ethan! I am hoping for snape though.... good job... i can't wait to read that extra FR21 scene.... yummy!
Comments from author:
Well, one of those guesses is right . . . You have just won a virtual Dame Noire! Congrats!
And which extra FR21 scene are you talking about? I never said that I was going to write Giles/Remus sex. Did I? No, I'm absolutely sure that I've never said -anything- about doing that. And you can't make me. Lekker puh. *sticks out tongue* (by the way, 'Lekker puh.' is Dutch) *grins*

Review of chapter "Giles/Remus I" from
I'm going to take a guess... is it Faith?
Comments from author:
Not Faith -- but that could have worked too, now that I think about it. Damn it, too bad I've already written the second scene for this pairing . . .
Thanks for reviewing, though.

Review of chapter "Giles/Remus I" from
that was incredibly hot for a chapter about talking... and the I tells me i can expect more of them - so that's beyond awesome. but i can't even begin to guess who that 3rd would be. are we moving towards another threesome? more awesomeness ahead. love it.
ps: first review again. don't you just love me :P
Comments from author:
*bows* Thanks! I kind of thought the same thing about this chapter. Remus and Giles . . . It just fits, you know. And it wasn't even talking, it was them thinking it. Oh, the way their minds work . . . Obviously very alike. lol
And I always said that I was going to write more about the other couples . . . Other stories just got temporarily in the way. The choices I make every single day are such difficult ones: What am I going to write first? What am I going to post? Will I post today or not? and so on . . . ^_^
Hmm, I suggest going over earlier reviews for part three of the 'Love is ...' series, because, yes, there just might be another threesome in the making . . . Curious? Well, then, go look. *shoos you off towards the reviews*
And, yes, I do love you for -all- your reviews -- be they first, last or somewhere in the middle. XD

Review of chapter "Ginny/Blaise I" from
Thank you for not going into details on this one... sorry it took me so long to read it, but i haven't been at home much.. busy busy bee....
Good Job! I really like your characterization of Luna...
Comments from author:
Still not quite het, so I figured you could still read it. Yes, could, because I know that het squicks you. lol
Glad you liked the way I wrote Luna. :)
Thanks for reviewing.

Review of chapter "Ginny/Blaise I" from
I'm probably totally wrong but I keep pictureing lion king and the animal rejoiceing. *shrugs* It's what came to my mind. Love the little side stories!
Comments from author:
Hmm, what does it say about me that I can actually follow your logic? But I'm afraid that your guess is incorrect. So, no virtual Dame Noire. Better luck next time. *grins*
I'm very happy that you're enjoying the side stories. I enjoy writing them. lol
Thanks for reviewing.

Review of chapter "Ginny/Blaise I" from
i just love it when a weasley is paired with a slytherin... there's just this part of me that's drawn to chaos. if only i could find a store selling golden apples. but i digress. another fabulous chapter, as was expected. can't wait till the weasleys find out. please continue soon
Comments from author:
Fabulous? Hmm, I think that's another word for fantastic and amazing. Well done! I love your synonyms. *grins*
I'm very glad you liked this chapter as well.
Thank you for reviewing.

Review of chapter "Andrew/Charlie I" from
adorable (see, a new adjective XD). they're just to cute together. please write more charlie/andrew extras. (and also some more percy/wesley and remus/giles please - gotta make sure the scholars are happy too)
Comments from author:
Yay! I see you finally managed to get your hands on a few synonyms. lol
I already have a couple of others scenes for the other pairings. The only thing I have left to do? Give them their final check, before they are posted. I have: Remus/Giles, Percy/Wesley, Spike/Harry/Neville and (implied) Blaise/Ginny.
And then I have about ten other ideas for new chapters for both 'SAR' and 'Love is ...' and new stories/scenes for the 'Extras' series.
No guess means no Dame Noire, I'm afraid. *grins*

Review of chapter "Andrew/Charlie I" from
very cute! You know I just adore this pairing.... and I love andrew being all flustered. I think that andrew should send charlie a D&D figurine of a dragon as a gift.... or Charlie send Andrew one of the lifelike moving figurines....
My guess is either Molly and Remus or Xander and George!
Comments from author:
That's not a bad idea . . . Could see this as part of the seduction. :)
I'm afraid that neither guess is right. I did ROTFLMAO about the Molly and Remus one, though. *grins* So, no Dame Noire for you, dear.
Better luck with the other scenes I have planned. *winks*

There is a rebel in me who just Hates to track. I know the benefits and that I need to make this a habit to reach goal and maintenance.
I will motivate myself to do it for awhile, especially for the 5% challenge but it always slips by the wayside.
I am gritting my teeth, knowing this is the challenge I need the most. It's kinda crazy but I am looking forward to it.
It's been about a month since I returned from my vacation and brought home some unwanted pounds. Before I left, I was so close to goal. I never imagined it would be such a struggle to get back to tracking and making good choices again. I have been really annoyed with myself. It's Never been easy for me.
I'm so glad that this Fall Challenge is starting. It is just what I need to get me motivated and to get my focus back.
I want to reach my goal weight by the end of this challenge. I know what I need to do:
Track, plan, drink lots of water, plan, eat at home when possible, plan, buy and eat LOTS of veggies and fruits, plan, exercise first thing in the morning, plan, make good choices, You can guess what comes next and what I fail at the most..plan. lol
There's the old saying "fail to plan and plan to fail." That's been a big part of my problems the last few weeks. In preparation for this challenge I have planned my meals for this week along with some healthy snacks.
I'm gonna do whatever it takes to get it done! Let's do it! Go Starfish!
** BTW Laurel, I want to be a Super Starfish too!
I'm off to a 60th birthday celebration cruise with some girlfriends.
To top it all off, SP, the 5% challenge, my accountability buddy and knowing I would be living in a swimsuit finally got me at goal weight!
Now if I can just behave myself in those buffet lines.
Thoughts on 3 years
I can't believe it's been 3 years!
I wish I hadn't wasted the first year by not interacting at all.
I thought I would make goal by now. : (
My progress has been very slow but it is still progress. :D
When it comes to tracking I am the queen of forgetfulness. I miss a lot of things and guiltily think of them later. I have always resisted tracking but when I finally (kicking and screaming) realized its value I began to work harder on trying to track consistently.
Unfortunately somewhere along the way I convinced myself it was okay to fudge. My excuse was that I do a lot of exercise. I exercise a lot because I work in a plant nursery fulltime and teach water aerobics and sub yoga part time.
But as they say, "you can't out exercise a bad diet." For me its all about monitoring snacking and portion control.
Now in this 5% challenge we have to track
E V E R Y T H I N G if we want any points and I am a sucker for points, gold stars (must be some unresolved conflict from my school days lol).
So out comes the note pad and the food scale. sigh
As painful as this will be for me, it is exactly what I need.

The closing of Riverview
Children would beg their parents to drive by slowly-- especially at night--so they could savor the lights, watch one of the Pair-O-Chutes float to the ground from an Erector-set tower and listen to the squeals of terrified riders on the roller coasters. It was Riverview, a place where, in the words of well-named entertainer and television pitchman Dick "Two-Ton" Baker, you could "laugh your troubles away."

Out of the box Biztalk unit testing supports only schemas, maps and pipelines. Yet frameworks developed by community like BizUnit, BizMock and Bizmonade support also unit testing of orchestrations. With combination of out of box unit testing through Visual
Studio and these frameworks a developer has the tools to test his BizTalk solution. This article will provide with references to the resources enabling you to be productive when it comes to unit testing your solution.
With Visual Studio 2008 the unit test functionality became available and supported unit testing with BizTalk Server 2009 projects. The unit testing feature enables developers to create unit tests for schemas, maps, and pipelines. The following resources
will give you guidance on unit testing these artefacts with Visual Studio:
Other frameworks that can be used for unit testing are
BizUnit, and BizMock that works seamlessly with Visual Studio unit testing capabilities. Both frameworks are not supported by Microsoft. They are available and supported through CodePlex. The following
resource links can provide guidance on how to work with these frameworks:
An alternative to BizUnit or BizMock is
Bizmonade. This is a project that being developed to enable unit testing of BizTalk orchestrations, in isolation of other components, without deploying the orchestrations to BizTalk and without doing any configuration (bindings). Subsequently there is also
a framework target on unit testing BizTalk Maps called
BizTalk Map Test Framework. This framework enables developers to perform tests on their maps using template files and Xpath queries. Finally there is also
Pipeline Test Library that enables you to test pipeline and pipeline components.
The following resources will provide useful information on unit testing BizTalk Server projects:
Great article. Bizmonade unfortunately seems to have ceased being developed, which is a real shame as it showed great promise.
you seem to have covered the importent topics, great work!
Very useful article
nice rollup and useful article
Great article!
Can you offer any guidance on how to use the Visual Studio unit testing on version 2012? The 'Test' menu option is gone and I don't see any way to run the test setup wizard. Can Visual Studio 2012 be configured to emulate the testing features of VS 2010?

Playing the Pregnancy Card
I was getting my nails done the other day and one of lovely nail techs happened to be pregnant. Very pregnant. Yet she continues to come to work every day, grooming feet and breathing in acetone, acrylic and other nail related fumes. I was pretty impressed that the nail tech still came in and did her job to the best of her physical ability as long as she could.
So why do women in sports like Lisa Leslie (taking a year off) and Lindsay Davenport (who is missing a season and may be retiring) get to take off so much time when they have children?
Now if you're rich or otherwise have it like that and can afford to take off work for extended periods of time, great. However, as someone who is in favor of gender integration in sports where it is at all possible, I don't think it sets a positive precedent for women trying to follow in these ladies' footsteps when they let pregnancy interfere with the commitment they made to sports.
First, let me state the obvious. A woman is going to be physically unable to compete in a sport for a portion of the pregnancy. And a woman should never unreasonably place her baby in harm's way. Having a baby is a great physical effort and a woman has to be allowed to nurture the baby pre-natally and physically recover and recondition after the birth.
That said, if a male athlete can play hurt, female athletes can at least play pregnant (and they should have the right to do so for their respective organizations, but that's another article).
Although I wouldn't necessarily take it this far, University of Louisville basketball player Connie Neal played until she was 8 months pregnant. Diving for balls, lifting weights, the whole nine. She did this, in part, because she was afraid of losing her scholarship. But she dropped that kid and six weeks later was back in uniform for team. But, at a minimum, a woman could be 3 or 4 months pregnant and not even know, so unless the woman is playing a violent contact sport, a female athlete could spend that trimester playing.
Men don't take off for births. A basketball player might get a game off. I don't think a football player would have a prayer for getting excused from a game for the birth of a child. Of course, I assume fathers want to bond with their babies. But given the career they've chosen, they can't.
And the women in sports should be held to the same standard. Even athlete wives often take one for the team, regularly inducing labor and/or choosing to have scheduled C-sections to accommodate a father's schedule. A female basketball player like Lisa Leslie should make a reasonable effort to avoid disrupting her team. Leslie could have planned her pregnancy around the short WNBA season. There is plenty of technology available to help women do that and, if necessary, the players, union should facilitate access to fertility therapies.
Female athletes can stay conditioned during pregnancy. Absent medical excuse, pregnant women can exercise. Certainly not 100%, but if an athlete stayed at, say, 60%, she would have a quicker recovery time back to professional-level conditioning. And a female athlete owes that commitment that to her sport.
Women could also deal with pregnancy by adjusting their roles on the team. Using Leslie as an example again, she could choose play more in the open court than in the post. Sure, it's a disadvantage to the team, but it's better to have Leslie in any capacity than not at all.
Women, including female athletes, should have a right to choose the circumstances under which she wants to have a baby. But it's tantamount to a slap in the face to the women who get kicked out of the hospital barely 24 hours after having birth and use their breast pumps during 15-minute breaks from their full time jobs to pretend you need to sacrifice a whole year to have a baby. However, I hope certain female athletes aren't treating pregnancy like some kind of extended snow day to duck the commitment they made to sport. No, it's not an easy thing to expect. However, the male athletes make certain sacrifices when it comes to family and female athletes should expect to do the same. After all, fair is fair.

Print is ŌĆśDead.ŌĆÖ Now the Web is Dead, Too?
Reading a story about the end of the Web in a print magazine is pretty amusing.
Ah, how so much has changed in such a short span of years. And yet, WiredŌĆÖs Chris Anderson is apparently obsessed with the ŌĆ£deathŌĆØ of publishing mediums.
For those of you who havenŌĆÖt seen or heard about it yet, the cover story of the Cond├® Nast tech titleŌĆÖs September issue is called ŌĆ£The Web is Dead.ŌĆØ ItŌĆÖs a two part story with the ŌĆ£What HappenedŌĆØ portion written by Anderson and the ŌĆ£And WhyŌĆØ portion penned by new contributing editor Michael Wolff. Ironically, the story generated a huge amount of buzz last week when the story was postedŌĆöyesŌĆöto the magazineŌĆÖs Web site.
Chalk it up to being too busy, but I never got around to actually reading the piece until early this week when the print copy landed on my desk. Seeing it there made me recall an issue FOLIO: published in 2006, before I started working here. The cover story for the September issue that year was an interview with Anderson following the release of his book, ŌĆ£The Long Tail: Why the Future of Businesses is Selling Less of More". In short, AndersonŌĆÖs theory contended that the digital format makes it economically viable to offer a vast range of content that can't be offered physically.
The cover line for that issue was, Print: ŌĆ£Not Dead But Not Enough.ŌĆØ In the story, Anderson said, ŌĆ£Let's put aside the print version. No, it's not dead but it's not enough. The day when you could shovel your stuff onto the Web site and people would bookmark it and come back are pretty much gone. The fact is, you are one of dozens of content sources that people are consuming in an omnivorous media menu. Increasingly, it's not people coming to your Web site. It's people seeing you mentioned elsewhere. It's not people coming to your front page but coming directly to a story because someone linked to it.ŌĆØ
He was right. Even when I was hired here the following summer, in July 2007, one of my main objectives was to build up the news operation so that our readers online would log onto our homepage first thing in the morning and keep the site up, refreshing it periodically throughout the day. And even though breaking news is a lot different than regurgitating content straight from the print magazine online Anderson was right, even then, about a portal Web site no longer being a ŌĆ£must goŌĆØ or a ŌĆ£must read.ŌĆØ Sure, FOLIOmag.com still gets a decent chunk of its traffic from readers going directly to our homepage, but that chunk is being whittled down as more readers are coming in through the back door, by way of aggregators, e-newsletters, other news sites and social media.
Maybe I should have read that story a little closer before I clocked in for work.
So, is the Web Really Dead?
No, itŌĆÖs not dead. But the rise of mobile and apps, and the way weŌĆÖre consuming media, is altering the way we turn to the Web for information. In publishing, when people were ringing printŌĆÖs death knell and jumping online, no one had a surefire way of monetizing their efforts there. (How many times have I heard people complain about ŌĆ£online nickels versus print dollarsŌĆØ?) Years later, publishers still havenŌĆÖt been able to adequately make money from the Web, whether from display ads or charging for content.
ŌĆ£The fact that itŌĆÖs easier for companies to make money on these platforms [mobile apps] only cements the trend,ŌĆØ Anderson writes in Wired. ŌĆ£Producers and consumers agree: The Web is not the culmination of the digital revolution.ŌĆØ
Wolff also has a good point, a potentially positive one: ŌĆ£If weŌĆÖre moving away from the open Web, itŌĆÖs at least in part because of the rising dominance of business people more inclined to think in the all-or-nothing terms of traditional media than in the come-one-come-all collectivist utopian of the Web. This is not just natural maturation but in many ways the result of a competing ideaŌĆöone that rejects the WebŌĆÖs ethic, technology, and business models.ŌĆØ
I hope heŌĆÖs right. I hope publishers cook up a formula(s) for making real money from apps, etc.
In the meantime, though, I have to admit that reading a story about the death of the Web in a print magazine is somewhat amusing.

EAU CLAIRE - Singer-songwriter Matt Wahl will present a free outdoor concert at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire on Monday, June 23.
The Summer Session Programs show will begin at 7 p.m. on the Central Campus Mall (rain: Schofield Auditorium). Refreshments will be sold. Audience members are invited to bring blankets or folding chairs for lawn seating.
Matt Wahl spent three years in an office cubicle before giving up the corporate life for the open road. Living his dream of touring and playing music full time, Wahl has created a down-to-earth, light-hearted acoustic rock-folk sound that appeals to any age. Drawing from such artists as Gordon Lightfoot, Harry Chapin and Jimmy Buffet, he mixes lyrically meaningful original songs with fun cover tunes.
Also on campus during the week of June 23 are these free events:
Shakespeare's tragedy is updated to the fictional Miami-style Verona Beach, where two teenagers (Leonardo DiCaprio, Claire Danes) pursue their love for each other despite the fact that their families have been at odds with each other for decades. The story combines swordfighting, disguise, misunderstanding, tragedy, humor, and some of the most romantic language found in literature.
"Amid the clamor from outraged puristt," Rolling Stone wrote, "you should notice that Luhrmann and his two bright angels have shaken up a 400-year-old play without losing its touching, poetic innocence." Rated PG-13, the 120-minute color film will screen via DVD projection.
Summer Session Programs continue through July. A complete
schedule is available from the Activities and Programs office, Davies Center

The sultan of Brunei has announced a controversial new penal code based on Islamic criminal punishments criticised by UN human rights officials.
"Today... I place my faith in and am grateful to God the almighty to announce that tomorrow, Thursday May 1, will see the enforcement of sharia law phase one, to be followed by the other phases," Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah said.
Islamic law penalties would be introduced over time and would eventually include flogging, amputation and death by stoning for various crimes.
Many members of the Muslim ethnic Malay majority have voiced cautious support for the changes. However, non-Muslim citizens led a rare burst of criticism on social media earlier this year, but largely went silent after the sultan called for a halt.
"Theory states that God's law is harsh and unfair, but God himself has said that his law is indeed fair," the sultan said.
The UN's human rights office recently said it was "deeply concerned", adding that penalties such as stoning were classified under international law as "torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment".
Brunei officials have said such cases would require an extremely high burden of proof and judges would have wide discretion to avoid such punishments.
The sultan has warned of pernicious foreign influences such as the internet, and indicated he intends to place more emphasis on Islam.
Nearly 70 percent of Brunei's 400,000 people are Muslim Malays while about 15 percent are non-Muslim ethnic Chinese.

Pochettino: Mayuka needs to work harder
Southampton manager Mauricio Pochettino suggests that summer signing Emmanuel Mayuka, a summer signing from Young Boys, needs to buck up his ideas if he's to get in the first team.
– Southampton manager Mauricio Pochettino.
"It is clear that under me he has not played," he said. "I haven't played him yet.
"There are other players available that have played so it just shows that he still needs to work to be able to get into the squad."

Anyone have Battleship working well? I test the fix that i get in this site and i had no luck only black screen.
Important !! change file in internal disk game folder like: dev_hdd0/game/BLUS30838/ (not games)
How do you do that?
You have to use Multiman's File Manager to put the files in dev_hdd0/game/BLUS30838/ , that i the folder where the game get installed in the PS3, as opposed to the GAMES folders, where the game's BD files reside.
Just as in a PC. you find the files you want to copy, press circle and choose 'Copy' ... then go to dev_hdd0/game/BLUS30838/ press circle and choose 'Paste'

UNF Accelerated BSN Summer 2013 - page 11
The deadline to apply for UNF's Accelerated BSN program beginning Spring 2013 will be here before we know it (January 15, 2013), which is why I wanted to go ahead and start this topic now. Many of us are taking the TEAS V soon... Read More
- 3Feb 3, '13 by HM2DocThe interview process will go like this:
-You get to the third floor of the nursing building (EARLY!!) and are directed to a table where you sign in and are given a name tag.
- At this table you will be assigned a number. This number is your interview group number, and each interview group will be made up of about 5 candidates.
- You are then told to go wait in the hall where all the seats are. You'll sit, nervously, with a lot of other nervous people and chit chat.
- Someone will eventually come out and call most of you into another room, which will most likely be a room with a bunch of hospital beds and chairs - one of our skills labs.
- You will sit in this room with all of the candidates that are there for that time frame, and you will all be split up according to your interview group number.
- Once in your group, a nursing student, usually in their 3-5th semester, will come in and talk to you. This student will answer any and all questions you have...ask them ANYTHING. The main purpose of this group discussion is to inform and relax you before you go into the interview.
- At some point, one of the directors of the program will come out and give you all a pep talk. This may be Mr. Ahrens...quite possibly the friendliest person ever.
- After about 30mins or so someone will start calling back group numbers. THIS IS IT, you are heading into your interview.
- The interview will be made up of three interviewers and 5 of you. They will do a few minutes of talking to ease the tension and make you aware of how the interview will go down and what they expect of you. The interviewers can be former students, current teachers, people who work in management positions at surrounding hospitals, or former deans (as was my case).
- Then the interview starts. There is no order for answering the interview questions. Don't always be the first, and NEVER always be the last.
- After the interview, you go home and stress out until you get the "Yes" or "No" letter.
Good luck!
- 3Feb 3, '13 by HM2DocOH yeah, some tips for the interview:
- Do not dress like you are interviewing for some super trendy fashion magazine. Dress conservatively, with conservative colors. There were people at my interview wearing some of the craziest outfits...none of them got in.
- Do not try and dress SEXY. Your interviewers are going to be middle to late-aged females. They don't want to see that.
- It is 2013...dress like it. Don't come in looking like Jackie Kennedy. And dudes, don't where jackets with those patches on the elbows...one guy did and didn't get in.
- Guys should shave or trim their facial hair. There were people there who had beards....they didn't get selected. If you have long hair, groom it so that it doesn't look grungy.
- Limit the amount of jewelry you wear, and don't wear wild jewelry. NO facial piercings.
- If you have tattoos that are showing, make them NOT show.
- Do not wear a lot of perfume or cologne.
- Be friendly. Interrupting people during the interview, or acting like an annoying know-it-all will hurt you.
- Have a question to ask. At the end of the interview they will ask you if you have any questions...ASK ONE, and make it GOOD. No questions like, "what do our scrubs look like" or "can we take days of from class".
That's about it for now. I posted something like this awhile back that probably included more stuff, but that's all I remember right now. Good luck.

- 2Feb 18, '13 by GradiusQ: Favorite Food?
A: Probably Linguini with Clamsauce. Oh man, best dish ever.
Q: Favorite hobby outside of nursing?

- 0Mar 5, '13 by juliesnowQuote from HM2DocHM2Doc - back to the discussion on community outreach/homebase/clinicals... I just went to the information seminar this past Friday. They briefly touched on this, but I forgot to ask them if the outreach hours are additional hours or are the part of an actual clinical class? So in other words, I am wondering do we spend an additional 4 hours a week at say a nursing home doing outreach that is additional to the classes for that semester, or are the hours included as part of one of the classes? I hope that made sense.Juliesnow: The community portion was primarily the only thing I didn't like about the program. But that's like saying the car engine is the only thing I didn't like about my car, ya know. It's such a huge part of the program.
A majority of the academics were great. The classes that EVERYONE disliked were the community classes, second semester Nursing Science II (the most boring thing I've ever experienced in life), and leadership. 95% of the professors/instructors were great. Clinicals were great, except for community clinicals (yes, homebase is considered a clinical). The nursing building on campus is clean and awesome, and they had great Simlabs and resources.
Yes, I feel like the program prepared me for my nursing career; however, I feel that the MANY hours spent towards community work could have been better spent learning about other things. In other words, I would have been BETTER prepared for my career had it not been for all of the community work.
For homebase, you give the faculty your home address and they try and put you in the community area that is closest to your home. So they pick it for you, and it's yours for 2 years.
If you have any other questions just let me know.
Starting to get excited for the interview Friday
- 0Mar 7, '13 by GradiusBest wishes to everyone tomorrow!
This will probably be my last post to this thread as regretfully, I will not be there despite my Interview invite, due to recently accepting a job offer that was too much money to pass up. I plan to save money for at least a year and possibly apply again for 2014. And I'm just fine with this since the money I save can help me avoid having to get any more student loans when I am in fact ready to enroll. The point being-- Nursing school is no longer in my future, for 2013 at least.
So now I will leave you with something inspirational:
Once you enroll, just promise me one thing... remember why you are there. It should not be about the money to you, or the prestige in having the letters "RN" after your name. You are there to make a difference. While the doctors of the world may treat the diseases, for instance, it is the NURSE who will provide the majority of the comfort that patients need. Remember that it is NURSE who can play a part in things like setting the broken arm of the boy who falls out of a tree so he can play with his dog again. It is the NURSE who can be the caregiver for the male Senior with the shots he needs or whatnot, so he can be strong enough to renew his vows with his wife of 50 years... and so forth. Hopefully you know where I'm going with this.
The point being: it is the NURSE who has enormous potential to Make a Difference.
That Nurse will be you. Farewell and good luck.

Amelia Island's Shrimp Festival
In Fernandina Beach, Florida, the Isle of Eight Flags Shrimp Festival is an annual tradition, always held the first weekend in May. This huge festival attracts over 100,000 people during the weekend (browse photo gallery below). The dates in 2014 are May 2-4 (with Shrimp Festival parade kicking things off Thursday, May 1 at 6 pm downtown). Also see more about the 2014 musical lineup at riverfront stage (including headliner Edwin McCain May 3, 2014).
Holding this event for half a century, Fernandina Beach is the birthplace of the modern shrimping industry in the United States. The Isle of Eight Flags Shrimp Festival was first held in 1963 to celebrate the traditional blessing of the shrimp fleet.
A "Miss Shrimp Festival" is crowned each year and the contestants ride in a boat along the parade route, waving to the crowds. The Shrimp Festival Parade kicks off the annual event (held the Thursday evening preceding the first weekend of May).
Friday evening during the festival weekend, the riverfront food vendors and Kids' Fun Zone open at 6 pm, followed by the opening ceremony of the Shrimp Festival at 6:30 pm and the Miss Shrimp Festival Scholarship Pageant at 7 pm. The grand finale of the festival's opening night is the "Pirate Invasion" by ship at the riverfront at 9:30 pm, followed by a wonderful fireworks display at 9:45 pm. (The food courts are open Friday evening, along with the KIDS FUN ZONE until around 10:30 pm.)
(Hover over photo below to see arrows appear, browse through gallery.)
Folks are attracted to Fernandina's Shrimp Festival for various reasons. Known as one of the top fine art shows in the southeast, artists and art lovers come to browse the works. Realize this is a great art festival featuring over 300 juried artists and craftsmen. According to the Island Art Association, the Shrimp Festival's fully juried arts and crafts exhibit "has been consistently recognized as one of the best art events in North America by Sunshine Artist Magazine." (Also visit the Amelia Island Art Association's web site at www.islandart.org.)
Others come for the food – naturally shrimp cooked a variety of ways and other festival favorites. The Kid's Fun Zone is also a magnet for families, along with the festival ambiance of roaming pirates and other child-oriented activities. Plus, there's the free live music concerts at the riverfront stage.
Here's how seasoned Shrimp Fest celebrants (many of the Fernandina folk) approach this fun, festive weekend on Amelia Island:
There are three phases of visiting the Shrimp Festival each year to experience everything.
Phase one — the Shrimp Festival Parade; phase two — the Friday night fireworks; phase three – the weekend festivities (browsing the wonderful art booths, the Kids zone, enjoying the live entertainment at the riverfront stage, and getting a bite to eat).
The main festival hours are: Friday 6 pm to 10:30 pm — food, riverfront activities, Kid's Fun Zone, and fireworks. Saturday 9 am to 6 pm — art, crafts, antiques show and everything else (with food booths staying open until 7 pm), and on Sunday 10 am until 5 pm (everything).
The Isle of Eight Flags Shrimp Festival offers a diverse array of fine arts and crafts artisans. You'll find water color and oil paintings, photography, custom jewelry, pottery, wood, glass and copper sculptures, handcrafted vases and lots more. The local Island Art Association handles the fine arts and crafts, and screens potential participants.
Many would say that the artwork is the most outstanding part of the festival. But the atmosphere is festive and fun for kids, too, and enjoyable for those who aren't art collectors, as long as you don't mind crowds. But the crowds are generally well behaved, since alcohol is not served in streets of Fernandina, the primary festival area. Be mindful of the open container law – no alcoholic beverages outdoors in the festival streets. You must go into a bar or restaurant that has a liquor license to get a cocktail, beer or wine, and you must stay in the establishment to drink it.
For locals, attending the Shrimp Festival parade is an annual ritual here in Fernandina Beach. The parade is a real glimpse of small-town Americana and a symbol of small-town community pride, with just about every organization in town participating with a float or group marching.
For local folk, there's a likelihood that at least one family member is actually in the parade, or there lining the historic district streets, cheering, clapping, grinning. People come downtown and line both Ash Street and Centre Street, lawn chairs in tow, many arriving very early to scope out their spot along the parade route. The old timers are present, the middle-aged, young adults, teenagers and little ones – five generations of citizens gravitate to the heart of Fernandina's historic district. At no other time of the year is the warmth of this town on display more, than at the annual Shrimp Festival parade.
Mingle with the Shrimp Festival crowds along Centre Street in historic Fernandina Beach (and the side streets from 8th to Front Street), browse hundreds of art booths (admire the work of many talents artists), and hear some great live bands at the riverfront stage.
The food vendor booths offer a wide selection — fried seafood plates, low country boil, shrimp pie, Italian sausage, and lots of fair-type food, including sugar-powdered funnel cakes, and more. Remember you're eating for a good cause, since all food booths are run by a local, Nassau County, Florida non-profit organization, so they are fundraising. There are no commercial food vendors. You can find shrimp cooked many ways — grilled shrimp, cajun shrimp, garlic shrimp, popcorn shrimp, shrimp salad, shrimp twisters, boiled shrimp, shrimp quesadillas, and more.
As far as the weather during Shrimp Fest, the norm is hot. The weather does dictate the crowds. If it's fair weather, expect the masses to invade the town, along with the pirates. It's been sweltering and humid at times, but occasionally cold. (The odds are, however, that you'll need some sun screen and a cold fresh-squeezed lemonade from the Fernandina Beach cheerleaders booth to quench your thirst.)
This is the ideal time to dress like a pirate and wander the town. If you'd rather not put on a costume, enjoy the other pirates mulling about. Pirates are also a feature of the parade, and some hand out pirate trinkets — bead necklaces in shades of shimmering gold, purple, and green.
Note that during the day on Friday, Fernandina's downtown merchants in the historic district traditionally hold their annual sidewalk sale, so it's a good time for browsing along Centre Street (10:00 am – 5:00 pm).
A visit to Fernandina for Isle of 8 Flags Shrimp Festival will allow you to taste the flavor of this town, especially if you make it to the parade. If you're more interested in the artwork and will only visit Fernandina for one day, realize the arts, crafts, and antiques show is only on Saturday and Sunday. (Sunday morning is usually less crowded for browsing the fine arts and crafts booths.)
Not all locals, however, go to the Shrimp Fest as some residents don't like the invasion (the crowds and traffic). These folks see it as a good time to get away from Amelia for the weekend. Others look forward to Shrimp Festival as the ultimate party weekend. In fact, other than the Florida-Georgia college football game weekend in the fall, there are probably more house parties going on around Amelia Island during Shrimp Fest, than any other time of the year. Parties, food, with drinks flowing – there's a festive atmosphere as reliable as the tides — during Shrimp Festival weekend each year on Amelia Island.
Out-of-towners can follow the posted signs, as you come onto the island, and be directed to the main festival parking lots ($10 fee with shuttle bus to the downtown festival area.)

Happy spring Friday!
Offshore drilling was on everyone's lips this week. And while we were disappointed with Obama's decision to open new areas to drilling, he also cancelled four lease sales in the Beaufort and Chukchi seas that had been scheduled by President Bush and committed to conducting significant scientific research and monitoring before any new lease sales are held in those areas -- which is very good news for Arctic people and ecosystems.
Oceana board member Ted Danson talked about the drilling decision on CNN yesterday. If you're incensed by Obama's decision, go ahead and give him a piece of your mind.
In other ocean news,
…U.S. Department of State banned imports of wild-caught Mexican shrimp if they are collected in ways that threaten endangered sea turtles; in other words, turtle excluder devices are now required in Mexico's shrimp trawl nets.

One of the odd coincidences of the Newtown tragedy is that the headquarters of one of the biggest anti-gun-control groups in the nation stands less than two miles from Sandy Hook Elementary School — almost close enough to hear the gunfire.
It's called the National Shooting Sports Foundation, a nonprofit trade organization created by and for the American firearms industry. With annual revenue of more than $25 million, the NSSF is second only to the National Rifle Association in the amount spent on lobbying against federal gun-control laws.
Yet few people in Connecticut had ever heard of the NSSF, at least until those 20 kids and six adults were gunned down not far from the foundation's HQ.
And while its efforts to stymie federal gun legislation are familiar to congressional insiders, the organization has played a more shadowy role in firearm debates at Connecticut's state Capitol.
"They've always been a force behind the scenes," says former Connecticut lawmaker Michael Lawlor. "You knew they were involved, but you could almost never see what they were doing."
Lawlor, a longtime gun-control advocate, is now Gov. Dannel Malloy's top criminal-justice adviser.
"They definitely are players," agrees Ron Pinciaro, executive director of Connecticut Against Gun Violence. He says NSSF officials haven't been "as out front" during state gun-control battles as lobbyists for the Coalition of Connecticut Sportsmen or the NRA. "But they're not back-benchers."
One indication of just how far under the radar the foundation has stayed at the state level is that Bob Godfrey, a deputy speaker of the Connecticut House, has no idea who they are. "I've never even heard of them," says Godfrey, a veteran pro-gun-control lawmaker from Danbury — a community that borders Newtown.
That low-profile approach at the state level is in keeping with the NSSF's no-comment position following the Sandy Hook massacre.
After the shootings, the group posted a message on its website that reads, in part:
"We at the National Shooting Sports Foundation have been deeply shaken and saddened by the horrible events that took place in Newtown... Our hearts go out to the families of the victims of this terrible tragedy."
"Out of respect for the families, the community and the ongoing police investigation, it would be inappropriate for our organization to comment or participate in media requests at this time."
The foundation's apparent preference for staying below the radar of the general public doesn't mean it's always kept quiet on gun issues. Spokesmen for the NSSF have spoken publically against proposals to ban assault weapons, high-capacity gun magazines, and even local attempts in Newtown earlier in 2012 to place new controls over informal shooting ranges.
Jake McGuigan, the NSSF's director of government relations, appeared at a March 2011 legislative hearing in Hartford to speak against a state plan to ban firearm magazines that could hold more than 10 rounds at one time. (Adam Lanza, the gunman in the Sandy Hook slaughter, had exactly that type of large-capacity magazine on his semi-automatic assault weapon-style rifle.)
That 2011 proposal was triggered by another gun horror: the shooting in Tucson, Ariz., that took the lives of six people and wounded then-U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. In his testimony, McGuigan lamented that the "tragic incident... has unfortunately prompted a legislative 'knee-jerk reaction' on both the state and federal levels..."
McGuigan warned Connecticut legislators that passing the ban on high-capacity magazines for semi-automatic weapons could hurt Connecticut's gun manufacturers. He carefully pointed out that "the firearms industry has contributed close to $1.3 billion in economic activity to Connecticut in 2010," and wondered if the new legislation might drive iconic businesses like Colt out of the state.
Bob Crook is executive director and lobbyist for the Coalition of Connecticut Sportsmen, an anti-gun-control group. He says McGuigan "shows up at the state Capitol once in a while" to provide testimony on things like the gun magazine bill.
But, says Crook, "he's not a high-profile lobbyist." McGuigan apparently prefers to let his Connecticut gun-making members do the talking to state lawmakers.
Lobbying reports bear witness to the NSSF's preference for staying behind the scenes. In 2011 and 2012, the group reported paying McGuigan less than $5,000 for state lobbying work. Those same years, Crook got more than $21,000 for his lobbying efforts.
According to the federal tax form the NSSF filed in 2011, the organization's purpose is to "promote the shooting sports and foster a better understanding of recreational shooting. NSSF works for the general welfare of hunting, target shooting, firearms safety..."
