Jill Easter's husband, who like her is an attorney, is expected to be tried next week.
SANTA ANA – An Irvine attorney accused along with her husband of planting drugs in the car of a volunteer at their son's school pleaded guilty Wednesday to false imprisonment and was sentenced to 120 days in jail.
Jill Bjorkholm Easter, 40, was sentenced to one year in jail and three years' probation, but will serve the shorter time if she meets all of her probation conditions, including completion of 100 hours of community service.
She is scheduled to begin serving her time at Orange County Jail on Dec. 27.
Easter, along with her husband, Kent Easter, was charged with one felony count each of conspiracy to procure the false arrest of the elementary-school parent volunteer, false imprisonment and conspiracy to falsely report a crime. If convicted, she faced a maximum sentence of three years in prison.
Kent Easter, also an attorney, is scheduled to be in court Thursday and his trial is expected to start next week.
"We're satisfied with the plea deal and we're preparing for the trial on Kent Easter," Deputy District Attorney Chris Duff said. Jill Easter "pled to one of the serious charges and it's a felony charge."
Duff said he could not say more because of the pending trial.
Jill Easter's attorney Paul Meyer called the plea agreement negotiated with the prosecutor a "very fair resolution."
"A probation sentence, a short custody and community service is very fair," he said.
Rob Marcereau, the Newport Beach attorney for Kelli Peters, the volunteer at Irvine's Plaza Vista School, said she and her family are pleased with the guilty plea and that Jill Easter will be serving time.
"Up until now she has claimed innocence," he said. "It's important to my client that there be punishment here (requiring) her to spend 120 days in jail as opposed to home confinement or ankle monitoring,"
Marcereau said Peters is also thankful for the restraining order issued by Superior Court Judge David Hoffer barring Jill Easter from stalking and harassing or going near Peters and her family.
"The guilty plea is the first step in the healing process for Mrs. Peters and her family," he said, "and they're looking forward to the trial against Kent Easter."

Serves 8
Ingredientsadd to shopping list
- 1 Buttermilk Pie Crust Dough disk
- 4 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 1/4 cup whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter
- 2 large firm ripe bananas (about 1 1/4 pounds), cut into 2/3-inch-thick slices
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dark rum
- 1/2 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
- 1/2 cup whipping cream
- 5 large egg yolks
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 cup chilled whipping cream
- 3/4 cup chilled whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 firm ripe bananas, thinly sliced on diagonal
Position rack in lowest third of oven and preheat to 400°F. Roll out pie crust disk on lightly floured surface to 13-inch-diameter round (about 1/8 inch thick). Roll up dough on rolling pin and transfer to 9-inch-diameter glass pie plate. Trim edges of crust, leaving 1/2-inch overhang. Fold excess dough under. Crimp edges. Freeze until crust is firm, about 15 minutes.
Line pie crust with foil. Fill foil with beans or pie weights. Bake until crust is set, about 15 minutes. Remove beans and foil and continue baking until crust is golden brown, piercing with toothpick if crust bubbles, about 12 minutes. Cool completely.
For Ganache:
Stir bittersweet chocolate, whipping cream and unsalted butter in heavy small saucepan over low heat until chocolate and butter melt and mixture is smooth. Spoon 6 tablespoons ganache into prepared crust. Spread ganache with back of spoon to cover crust bottom completely. Let stand until ganache is cool but not set, about 20 minutes. Reserve remaining ganache in saucepan. Arrange 2/3-inch-thick banana slices atop ganache, pressing bananas lightly into ganache.
For Filling:
Combine vanilla extract and dark rum in small bowl. Sprinkle unflavored gelatin over. Let stand 10 minutes to soften gelatin. Bring 1/2 cup whipping cream to simmer in heavy small saucepan. Whisk egg yolks and sugar to blend in another small bowl. Gradually whisk in hot whipping cream. Return mixture to saucepan. Stir over medium-low heat until mixture thickens and leaves path on back of spoon when finger is drawn across, about 4 minutes; do not boil. Add gelatin mixture and stir until gelatin melts. Transfer custard to large bowl. Chill until cool but not set, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. Whip 1/2 cup chilled whipping cream to medium peaks in medium bowl. Fold into custard in 2 additions. Spoon custard into crust. Refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.
Stir reserved ganache over low heat until just warm and pourable. Carefully pour ganache onto center of filling. Tilt pie, rotating to spread ganache to within 1/4 inch of pie edge. Chill until ganache is set, about 15 minutes. (Can be prepared 8 hours ahead.)
For Topping:
Beat 3/4 cup whipping cream with 2 tablespoons sugar to firm peaks. Spoon whipped cream into pastry bag fitted with large star tip. Pipe rosettes around inside edge of crust. Place banana slices in ring alongside rosettes. Cut pie into wedges.

The Not-So-Pale Ales
Black IPA, a new style of dark but refreshingly hoppy brew, has the beer geeks talking. And turns out, they might be onto something. Herein, our favorites.
By Evan S. Benn
Southern Tier Iniquity
Black IPAs are a contradiction in name they're black, but they're India pale ales. New York's Southern Tier knows this, which is why it named its imperial Black IPA Iniquity, meaning the opposite of good. But the beer is the opposite of the opposite of good: We love its big citrus-hop flavors, which cut straight through the roasted-malt heft.

by Jones, John Paul:
On Board the Bonhomme Richard at L'Orient, France. June 14, 1779.. [1]p. manuscript letter on a folded folio sheet. Docketed on the fourth page and addressed in Jones' hand to "Captain M[atthew] Parke of the Marine troops." Sheet strengthened around the edges, closed tear mended in the second sheet. Very good. In a half morocco and cloth folding box, spine gilt. A very interesting manuscript letter, signed by Captain John Paul Jones as commander the American squadron off the coast of Europe, ordering Matthew Parke, a member of the Marine troops, to attend a court- martial on board his ship, the Bonhomme Richard. Jones would gain everlasting fame and glory just a few weeks after he signed this letter, when he captured the H.M.S. Serapis in the North Sea. In 1779, John Paul Jones took command of a 900-ton French East Indiaman, armed and renamed Bonhomme Richard as a compliment to his patron, Benjamin Franklin. The outfitting of the ship in the port of L'Orient consumed several months, and it was not ready for sea until June. The ship's crew was originally formed of prisoners taken from English ships by the French. Evidently, a group of these prisoner-sailors conspired to capture the ship, and Jones ordered their court-martial to take place on June 15 on board the Bonhomme Richard. The manuscript text, signed by Jones in his own hand at the end, reads: "By the Honble. John P. Jones Captain in the American Navy and Commander in Chief of the American Squadron now in Europe. Sir you are hereby required and directed to attend at a Court Martial to be held on board the Bon homme [sic] Richard tomorrow for the Trial of James Enion, John Atwood, John Lomney, John Balch, John Layton, Andrew Thompson, George Johnston, William Carmichael, Alexander Cooper, William Hanover, Thomas Cole and Nathaniel Bonner - all of whom have been put under confinement by Lieutenant John Brown for mutinous behaviour and for refusing to do their duty on board the American ship of war the Bon homme Richard. You are also to try any other person or persons belonging to the American service who may in the course of the evidence appear to have been principally concerned in that mutiny - for which this shall be your order. Given on board the Bon homme Richard at L'Orient the 14th day of June 1779." Along with the letter, laid into a compartment in the box, is a commemorative medal, 2 1/4 x 3 1/4 inches, with a portrait on the recto of Jones after the bust by Houdon, and an allegorical scene on the verso entitled "America claims her illustrious dead - Paris Annapolis 1905." The medal was issued to commemorate the exhumation and re-burial of Jones' body from beneath the streets of Paris to its final resting place in Annapolis, Maryland in 1905. Any substantive, Revolutionary-era John Paul Jones letters or manuscripts are extremely rare in the market. This is an especially interesting and displayable artifact of Jones' tenure as commander of the Bonhomme Richard, with several references to the ship, where he earned his greatest fame during the Revolution.

Unbeaten, buzzer-beatin' Illini basketball ready to face USC
BY HERB GOULD email@example.com November 18, 2012 9:46PM

It's time to find out.
Nobody really knows what the future holds for John Groce's first Illinois team. But the Illini will start learning more when they take on USC, coached by former Northwestern coach Kevin O'Neill, in the Maui Invitational on Monday
(11 p.m., ESPN2, 560-AM).
''Our system is relatively new to these guys,'' Groce said Sunday. ''We're an older team, so that allows them to pick up things more quickly. At the same time, everything's new. When you play in a tournament like this, you can get exposed in certain areas where your system is not rock-solid yet. That's going to be good for our team moving forward.''
Illinois (3-0) already has a positive learning experience under its belt on this trip. It beat Hawaii 78-77 in overtime Friday on D.J. Richardson's three-pointer at the buzzer.
The Illini, who trailed 44-28 early in the second half, were led by Brandon Paul (25 points), Tracy Abrams (22) and Richardson (16).
Abrams drove the lane on the last play, dishing to Richardson in the left corner when Paul was locked down by Hawaii on the right side.
''Tracy did a great job with that,'' said Richardson, who scored all of his points after halftime. ''Coach has been working on me, telling me if I miss to keep shooting. I stayed aggressive with it. It was a tough comeback in front of a tough crowd. We played together; we just had that road warrior in us.''
Like Illinois, USC (2-0) is projected as a middle-of-the-pack team headed for the NIT. O'Neill has bolstered a thin roster with four transfers and is welcoming back three starters who had season-ending injuries.
''We have a team that's full of rejects, starting at the top with myself,'' joked O'Neill, who's likely to take advantage of his depth. ''We have a bunch of guys that transferred. It's a fun group.''
The Illinois-USC winner is expected to play Texas on Tuesday, with the loser facing Chaminade.
No. 11 North Carolina, Marquette, Butler and Mississippi State are on the other side of the bracket.

Germany's robot-controlled skin factory in operation
We are living in the future. Proof: a factory in Germany has a bunch of robots making skin with the aim of using it in transplants in humans.
Right now, the factory is using animal proteins for animal testing, which is how they're going to get approved for using this system on humans. But sometime in the future, we'll have factories like this, using robots as to keep things clean and sterile, pumping out everything from chunks of skin to entire organs for transplants and other medical procedures. And it will be amazing.
But as of now, this factory is still able to produce 5,000 penny-sized disks of tissue per month, which is more than you can say for most robot-controlled skin factories.

Salvage is small and fast. Use a submachine gun, shotgun, or an unscoped assault rifle. Keep your gun raised as often as possible, and avoid running through tight passage ways. There's nothing wrong with walking - slow and steady, slow and steady!
Part of the map is seen below. The "skate park" on the left consists of a bunch of concrete tubes.
The dangerous passageway we've marked out is a narrow gap between piles of junk, and anyone in the building south west of it can pick you off while you run through, so keep your eye on the window.
Running through the tubes in the "skate park" is also dangerous. Keep your weapon up, because someone is probably either directly behind you, or directly in front of you, you just haven't seen them yet...
The tubes are divided from the area north east of them by a highly defensible wall. People run through the little door all the time, but it's a terrible idea. You can see the door in the screen above. From the other side, there's a great camping spot, if you're a bastard.
It's easy to get up there, just jump.
Salvage is not a very complex map, you just need to stay on your toes, and know where to look for campers. Watch out for idiots hiding in the dog house.

Cats Love Electric Massagers - Your Cat Likes Machines More Than You
Look, we all know that cats love a good massage. But sometimes they don't have the luxury of a human hand or fellow furry friend nearby to help them relax. Sometimes they've gotta cut out the middleman and use their resources -- the devices left strewn about by their humans. And judging by the looks on their faces... they do the job just as good (if not better) than a warm-blooded helper. May I present, cats with electric massagers.
- In this video, sent to us by tipster Linda A, a kitty BEGS for the massager and then revels in happiness. (And of course the clip is from Japanese television, the best entertainment in the world!)
- This cat looks one part happy and one part absolutely terrified.
- It's like this kitty knows that it's a neck massager!
- Perhaps we should get the other cats to tell this cat, P-Chan, to give the Shiatsu a chance. He's tempted.

9/7/2013. ANDY'S UNPOPULAR OPINIONS. The USA Should NOT Bomb Syria. WHY?
Since 1964 I've been mainly correct about the directions that America's grand strategy should have taken. However, since 1964 Washington DC has done mainly the opposite.
After thinking carefully about Syria, and building 61 scenarios, and mentally taking the "Obama Side" by arguing the case (in my mind) FOR a Syrian attack. (In good analysis you must ALWAYS put yourself in the other side's shoes). Bottom Line, the more I think about a Syrian strategy the more I believe a meaningless Showboat attack would be a mistake. The rule America should follow with Syria is, "If you can't win than don't play."
The brain dead in Washington DC keep taking about "Credibility." Everyone in the World knows that America has the biggest, most bloated military in the World. Everyone in the World knows that America has the ability to murder people. My military view is that when the most expensive military machine in the world went into Vietnam and LOST to a collection of teenagers in black pajamas; that's when America's CREDIBILITY TO WIN was destroyed.
Iraq War II and Afghanistan's "SURGES To Victory" did Not do anything to make America less of a military joke.
King Arthur wannabe Bush's re-opening the Crusades for a war on "Islamofascism" will go into the history books next to the Zionist's 66AD declaring war on the Roman Empire.
America's world credibility to murder is still there. America murdered a million Vietnamese, and directly and indirectly 200,000 Iraqis. However. America's credibility to decisively WIN (and dramatically Change situations) is none existent outside of Wonderland on the Potomac.
Certainly, a few bombs over Syria is NOT going to change much. Showboating some Cruise Missiles against already empty ammunition warehouses isn't going to make America (in the eyes of the World) less of a military Attention Deficit Disorder adolescent.
THERE ARE DANGERS: One of the biggest is that THREE of the players (USA, Israel and Russia) have nuclear weapons. In warfare there are ALWAYS Black Swans, and Black Swans when the players have nuclear weapons is something that no rational person should take lightly.
In my view, as a proven excellent military strategist, AND as a businessman who has run businesses for over 40 years, Mr. Obama understands LESS about warfare than he understands about business, and he understands almost NOTHING about business. The ONLY thing that Mr. Obama is clearly a master at is Illinois/California politics, and that is: "Vote for ME and I'll steal somebody else's money and give it to You."
As I recently wrote on my Facebook page (I have three different Facebook pages), you have to be Washington DC brain dead to believe that Assad has NOT Already moved most of this poison gas ammunition to MANY different locations. The "Targets" are now empty warehouses.
As I also wrote on my Facebook page, the Historical FACT is that most National Leaders DO NOT care about "Casualties." Assad is NOT going to care if America murders 100,000 of his supporters. Assad knows that the 100,000 dead would make his survivors fight harder.
If National Leaders cared about "Casualties" World War One would have ended in 1915.
The truth is that as a military grand strategy analyst I ALSO do not especially care about other people dying. I see the Civil War in Syria as regrettable, unfortunate, but irrelevant to America's VITAL Interests.
The tunnel-vision lovers of yesterday in Washington DC (who are mainly lawyers) believe that Assad will fear American bombing because after the bombing Syria's Tort Lawyers will Sue Assad for damages to their clients, and that will cost Assad a lot of money.
It's time of Washington DC to STOP its mental masturbation. America is an Empire in Decline. America is the world's Biggest Debtor Nation. America is living off of the FED's faggot money, and stealing wealth from every Treasury Bond holder in the World. America has become the old USSR, a NOT-Free Corrupted Economic system that's bankrupt, BUT has a very LARGE Army. It's time for the US Congress to check OUT of Hotel Delusion and check into motel reality - and act accordingly.
Behind closed doors members of Congress are probably being told that Israeli/CIA Intelligence knows where all of the poison gas has been moved to. This is the SAME Israeli/CIA Intelligence that knew where all of the Weapon of Mass Destruction were at in Iraq.
A reminder, in June 2006 Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit was taken by rebels in the Gaza Strip. They kept Private Shalit captive for over FIVE YEARS. During that Five Years Israeli rescue forces were NEVER more than 15 minutes away, BUT ISRAELI INTELLIGENCE COULD NOT FIND Private Shalit. He was released (alive and well) by the rebels in Oct. 2011. So now Congress is probably being told that the same "Intelligence" that could NOT find Shalit in FIVE Years (when he was never more than 15 minutes away) NOW knows where all of the poison gas in Syria has been secretly moved to. Sure.
Let's take a short walk down the road of American military history, and see WHAT WORKED. Our QUESTION is: "What are some of the factors that made America the Super BIG Winner of World War II?"
ANSWER: One of the BIGGEST factors for America being the SUPER WINNER of WWII was America NOT attacking and NOT getting involved (until America was attacked and no choice).
FACT: WWII started with the 1933 Japanese invasion of Manchuria. America did Nothing.
FACT: The Japanese in 1936 expanded their invasion of China killing tens of thousands of civilian women and children in the process. America did Nothing.
FACT: In 1939 German and Russia invaded Poland. The Russians murdered thousands of captured Polish Army Officers. America did Nothing.
FACT: In 1940 German invaded and defeated France. America did Nothing.
FACT: Between Sept. 1940 and May 1941 the German's Blitzed England killing over 40,000 civilians, many women and children. America did Nothing.
FACT: In June 1941 German invaded Russia, pushing all the way to Leningrad and Moscow, and killing over a million civilians in the process. Many women and children. America did Nothing.
FACT: America was the SUPER WINNER of WWII in large part by DOING NOTHING. America eventually Won the war in Europe with only a few more military dead than the tiny Rumanian Army.
The Grand Strategy of NOT doing anything was the Most Successful in American History. One of the major lessons of WWII was, "Always be the LAST to fight."
After WWII most of the people in Washington DC became Fathead assh*les. A historically typical MISTAKE when a Nation wins a Big War to easily. America's military attitude went from, "Let's NOT get involved," to "We never saw a war we didn't like."
In my view an American attack on Syria would be a Schizophrenic Joke. Obama is playing Mr. Goody-Two-Shoes and saying, "Oh, it's a moral offense that Assad is using poison gas." HOWEVER, a few miles away from Syria in the West Bank, Mr. Obama and Washington DC are supporting and defending the West Bank Slave State and the oppression of Muslim women and children. That's the Real "Credibility Gap" that everyone in the World can see Except Washington DC brain dead.

After SafeGuard has been installed and the SafeGuard Credential Provider is being used to logon to the system, the registry value for LastLoggedOnUser is not populated correctly anymore. Resulting in a state that LastLoggedOnSAMUser and LastLoggedOnUser are no longer filled with the same value.
First seen in SafeGuard Device Encryption 5.50
Operating systems Windows 7
Could cause logon problems in environments where customers that are using 3rd party software (i.e. Computrace or Frontrage Discovery), which pulls the "username" value from the "LastLoggedOnUser" registry key - which is no longer populated correctly after SafeGuard Client is installed and SafeGuard Credential Provider is being used.
This issue has been fixed with the release of SafeGuard 6. If updating to SafeGuard 6 is not possible, a hotfix for SafeGuard 5.60.0 is available upon request from Sophos support.

Changes that Need Time
I knew it would happen eventually...there is just so much information that I can cram into this older blog format. So I will be making some changes to this site, and will be building a new blog site dedicated exclusively to shirt-making subjects (including moving all of my shirt-making tutorials to the new site, showing my client work there, adding new tutorials, etc).
I will announce the new Shirt-making site to you here, as soon as it is ready. (umm...don't hold your breath...I haven't even started it yet! *smile*)
Because of that, along with some other Shirt-making projects I am working on and new interfacing products that I am developing now for future release...I likely will not be posting to this site with much regularity.
So...please don't think that anything is wrong or that I am ill. I just have countless things going on in my sewing-related businesses...some of them quite exciting...and there are just so many hours in a day.
However, you are likely to see at least one new shirt shown here rather soon....I need to fine-tune the design and get it made before Roger's birthday on June 18th!

Miami Dade College (MDC) Spring 2013 Gen. FT/PT& Accelerated Nursing program - page 47
Hi all, I've just handed in my application to MDC for Spring '13. Right now I'm overall score is 82 but I'm planning on retaking the TEAS in August to improve that. If anyone has a book list from previous students, please... Read More
- 0Nov 19, '12 by joshsc, ADNSerranodv, Yes, it is the same book list as far as I know.
- 0Nov 20, '12 by gwelltravailleHello Everyone!
I wanted to see if there were any members on this post that have been accepted into the Generic Part-Time Program for 2013.
In an effort to build support, study groups, and network with each other to succeed to the best of our abilities I will be trying to put together a Facebook group (specific for Part-timers) and a spreadsheet of our collective contact info that we can give to each other.
My name is Gayon Nikki and my email address is gwelltravaille AT gmail DOT com.
I am definitely excited for next year as we embark on our respective nursing careers together.
P.S. I strongly believe that we can succeed to a higher degree working together. It would be awesome to hear everyone's experience so far from administration, the process of getting their provisional items, etc.
- 0Nov 25, '12 by joshsc, ADNSo went to Uniform City and they wouldn't honor their website price for this stethoscope, so I'm buying this one. They wanted $85 when their online price was $70. I also plan to get another pair of Cherokee 4000 scrubs. I haven't found this scope cheaper really than $70. - Anyway, I know I've posted this scope before but I like them. I saw the blue one at the store and I liked that color too. As for clothes- if you're a guy, don't expect much. They also don't have much of a selection of the hunter green. If you're a gal, wide assortment. Oh well, maybe I'll take up sewing too.
Amazon.com: 3M Littmann Classic II S.E. Stethoscope, Burgundy Tube, 28 inch, 2211: Health & Personal Care So this will be my scope when it's delivered. It gets good ratings and meets our requirements.
- 3Hey guys...I got here in error finding actually blogs for the BSN...However, from one that graduated just this past April from MDC with an ADN, here are my two cents...
DO NOT spend a fortune for a stethoscope, most of us did not spend over $30 and some have even forgotten them at rotations. No matter how much you spend, buy a tag that has your name and cell # in case someone finds it.
DO NOT buy all your textbooks at once, I used a Med-Surge book one edition older than the one suggested from Ebay and it was awesome, it was almost brand new, came with the code and CD. The new one costs around $150 give or take, I got mine for less than half.
DO NOT make a huge study group, these tend to become more for socializing and you really want to study. Also remember, one learns when one teaches, and the group members must have some things in common. Example, if you are single and have all the time in the world, you may not fit well with someone who has children with a very limited time. If you are a morning person and like to study really early in the morning, you may not want to pair up with a nightowl. So pair up accordingly, and make is small enough that it will not become a party. Each group member must bring something to the table. Every little thing helps.
IF you did not get accepted, do not sweat it, take pre-requisites that you will need for the BSN while you wait for the admission letter. TRUST me, you will want to get your BSN, I have still yet to find a job, but the job fair I went to this past October, emphazised how many hospitals want to apply for magnet status and BSN will be what they will hire. Holy Cross is one such hospital, they will only hire BSN.
Though microbiology lab is not required to get accepted to the ADN, it will be a requirement to get into the BSN, so it does not hurt to take it along with the lecture class.
You will be hit with the humble reality that having a 4.0 GPA in nursing school, while doable, is difficult. Do your best, apply yourself, and accept that nursing school is like no other education you have gotten so far. This will start to sink in when you get to Med-Surge.
Get involved with the Student Nurse's Association.
Dr. Yates, and Prof. Constance Miller, are awesome - they may look intimidating, but are really awesome if they see you are interested. If you have the opportunity to take Roxana Orta, you hit the jackpot, she is the MOST PRO student professor you will ever meet. Prof. Monique Roger-Walker is awesome at Peds, as well as Annette Tomlinson - she teaches both peds and OB. I have never taken Prof. Neaty, but been told she is also great. For med-surge, the best was Prof. Valdes, he is not longer there, his class was hard, but boy you learned so much with him. Saddly the professor I had for psyche is no longer there. Prof. Maria Alvarez....she loves her reputation of being mean, but she too has a soft heart, you have to dig in for it, but she is also awesome. For CLINICALS, you have Prof. Gayle Babley - she will make you work and will keep you longer, but she really prepares you, I took two clinical rotations with her, that is how great she is . Also, Adelaide Murray for Advanced Med-Surge. FOR SKILLS Prof. Dolce and Carter for skills were the sweetest professors with an interest for you to succeed.
You are now in a different league, so please behave accordingly (like an adult), may sound condescending, but I have seen first hand how some students behave like they are still in highschool. This is the major leagues, be RESPECTFUL always.
One thing I did not do, that I wished I had, is ask for a letter of recommendation after EACH clinical rotation (is best from your clinical instructor), do not wait until the end of your program after I did, I went through a lot just to get the ones I had. These professors have tons of students, and it is hard for them to remember. SHOW UP ON time, especially at clinicals.
All professor I had allowed us to tape the lectures, but still ask at the beginning of the semester and if you can, try to get a recorder that has a flash drive like I did, then pass them into your computer and then to CDs and listen to them in the car - unless your car system can play USB. Every moment that you have to study is well spent...going to change the car oil, read nursing material while waiting, going out to do your laundry, there goes the books too, you get the drift?
Be kind and supportive of each other, and this is so true. Some students even at this point are still in competition mode, you are already in, and remember, just because you are not having any issues with one class, does not mean you will not struggle the next. Is like you scratch my back I will scratch your back kind of thing...did I say it already, help each other succeed? There is nothing nicer than to start together the program and all graduate together. In my cohort not all made it
Try your best to stay away from drama in your private life and school. You need to stay focused. Besides you will notice how little time you will have to do the things you were able to do before nursing school, especially if you are doing the accelerated program - oh boy, do I feel for you.
Last edit by SENSUALBLISSINFL on Dec 1, '12 : Reason: ,
- 4Part three and hopefully my last (sorry just trying to pay it forward with wisdom)
Have a positive attitude, nursing is hard, but if you make the best of it, it will not be as difficult.
If you have too much distractions at home (like children or family) I found Barnes & Nobles and Starbucks (start asking for gift cards for those stores for the coffee now), great to studying, as well as the Success Center and the library in school. Also our study group would stay meet for studying in the halls that separate the buildings in the medical campus, there are tables and chairs there, or take turns in meeting in each other's houses - the latter is great doing your Assessment class, you can assess each other, and practice with your family members too.
Understand that your house may not look like it did before - spotless, as you will find yourself short of time, remember, this goal. Your area of study must be clean though, you will need clarity and focus.
Do questions at least weekly on your ATI, each semester you will have an ATI exam that is worth 5% of your grade and trust me, some of you will need EVERY point to pass. You may like this inside information, now I am not sure if this is done every year, but at our pinning this student got a prize, cannot remember how much, for being the one that logged in the most to the ATI website. Again, it may have been a one time thing, but you never know
During clinicals, get in there, get your hands dirty, if you have the opportunity to do something DO IT, the experience you will get is invaluable.
Start saving some money now, little by little, like a dollar here and there, so that after you graduate you invest in ACLS, PALS, a basic EKG course or telemetry course, it will make your resume stand out from the others - I sometimes feel it has yet to benefit me, but in all truth, is the recession that is making it hard for some of us to get hired.
If some of you can get your foot in the door NOW and work for a hosptial as a CNA or LPN, you will have an advantage to be hired after you become an RN.
DO NOT WAIT TOO LONG to take your boards, the sooner you take it, the more success you will have -- this is proven.
This is a great profession that right now is going through a recession, I will not deceive and tell you that I do not get discouraged sometimes...keep going forward. Get your BSN, try to start applying for internships before graduation if you can - this part I did not know until now that I am job hunting. Memorial hires first their students who they have given scholarships then they look for outside, but I believe they only give it Broward Community College, but if some of you can find out if you can qualify, I can tell you it will be worth it, is an awesome hospital to get in if you can.
Wishing you all much success

Origins Body Creams
Friday, 18 May 2012
12 comments:
I've just started using the Garnier 7 days moisturiser after every shower and I've noticed such a huge difference in my skin. Defo going to try these next! xReplyDelete
Im keen to try perfect world body cream! Might have to try a sample to ttry it first. I love origins products :) xoReplyDelete
i agree with the smell~ They smell amazing and i lust over them every time i go to Origins to re-purchase my usual skin-care products. I remembered trying the product and it was really rich but absorbs into the skin quickly, so its nice to use when my skin is really dry and dehydrated due to my laziness. Thanks for sharing~xReplyDelete
I have walked past the Ginger Souffle tubs sooo many times.. but the price puts me off a bit :(ReplyDelete
I always moisturise, just don't feel human without it, but I've never tried origins. These look really lush and the sizes are just perfect. From the scents described I'm might have to give these ago xx :o)ReplyDelete
I use moisturiser every day without fail! Those look HUGE, I'll have to give them a sniff next time I'm near an Origins xReplyDelete
Ginger Souffle is my favourite body cream ever!! I think it smells like gingerbread men! :)ReplyDelete
Gem x
I'd love to try these, they look so lovely, the tubs are huge I'm always running out of moisturiser cause I use so much of it!ReplyDelete
Hmmm I love the smell of ginger and I love origins I too wish I had time to moisturise after every shower but sometimes it just isn't practical especially if I am getting dressed straight after xxReplyDelete
I've never tried them but I would love to,ReplyDelete
I'm a big fan of the Body Shop body butters :)
This reminded me I have the Ginger Souffle which I won last year but haven't got round to trying it! I also won the Origins Incredible Spreadable Scrub ( ginger body smoother ) this stuff is amazing! The texture is rich and creamy, it has chunky sugar grains in it. I love how it leaves your skin feeling soft. REALLY recommend it xxReplyDelete
this is cool. i have not tried it either...but i don't mind to give it a try.ReplyDelete

Will a breast lift after augmentation with saline implants 16 years ago be of benefit now?
It really depends upon what you are trying to correct. Are your breasts saggy or has the nipple dropped with age? Or, Are you concerned about the overall size of your breasts. If it is the droopy or fallen nipple the, a breast lift may be of benefit. Consider a consult with one of the many members of the ASPS for an examination and discus your concerns. Best,
Gary R Culbertson, MD, FACS
Ms. Willis:
It depends... on what you wish to achieve. Your implants are aged and you would have to ask yourself if you're still desiring to have the extra volume from them or if you wish to change the size of your breasts by replacing your implants with new ones, possible even gel implants.
If your breasts have taken on a droopy appearance, then improvements in your overall appearance can be achieved with a lift, assuming that you are accepting of the scars and risks that come with it. You should discuss this with your chosen physician who can better appreciate your concerns and have the opportunity to also do an exam on you at the same time.
Best wishes,
Curtis Wong, MD
A breast lift if needed can be done with the same implants in place. If you are happy with the size, softness, and feel of the implants you currently have no need to take them out. On the other hand if you are not happy with the implants it may be an appropriate time to take them out. Make sure that you are a candidate for a breast lift. It can leave long scars.
A breast lift can be performed while maintaining the breast implants implanted 16 years ago. However, in person exam and consultation to review objectives, lifestyle, and lifestage should be done to determine if a breast lift would benefit you. If you want to provide a perkier appearance to your breasts, then a lift may be beneficial.
Lift After Breast Implants – Certainly one can have a breast lift after implants if the implants are not more than 10 years old. If they are more than 10 years old I would do an implant removal and exchange and perform a breast augmentation/mastopexy simultaneously.

|OCOM Students Visit Kam Wah Chung
|Monday, 14 September 2009 17:42
On June 29, 2009, a group of OCOM students and one OCOM faculty member took a field trip to John Day, Oregon to visit Kam Wah Chung & Co., a 140-year-old former medical and religious center for eastern Oregon's Chinese community. Now a museum operated by Oregon State Parks and Recreation, the building and its untouched contents provide a glimpse into the life and culture of the early Chinese community in Oregon.
OCOM student, Jon Conant, recounts the June trip with his classmates:
The first annual OCOM trip to Kam Wah Chung was exciting, fascinating, inspiring, and mystifying. The trip began with an early morning caravan of students through the forest around Mount Hood to John Day, Oregon, where we were met by the curator of the museum at Kam Wah Chung, Christina Sweet.
In May of 2009, OPB first aired a documentary about Doc Hay and Lung On. Visit the OPB website to see more.

Nonprofits Struggle To Meet Mission With Traditional Investing Strategies, Finds U.S. Trust Report
U.S. Trust's Institutional Investments and Philanthropic Solutions Group, a provider of CIO outsourcing and fiduciary investment manager with over $25 billion in assets as of March 31, 2013 for nonprofit organizations and pensions, released a new report titled "The Endowment Challenge" .
In the new report, U.S. Trust outlines how nonprofit organizations can use goals-based strategies as they adapt to new market realities: an era of lower returns, ongoing market volatility, higher inter-asset class correlations and increasing fiduciary responsibilities with greater scrutiny from regulators, government agencies and donors.
With donor funding in stress, increasing needs of beneficiaries, and rising costs, nonprofits are increasingly relying on investment returns to fund their operations and spending mandates. U.S. Trust's analysis finds it will be challenging to generate sufficient returns to support historical spending levels if organizations continue to invest as they have in the past.
"For the first time in years, perhaps decades, foundations, endowments and other nonprofit organizations question whether they will have the financial resources to continue to fulfill their missions," said Keith Banks, president of U.S. Trust. "To meet current and future needs, nonprofit organizations are urged to reach beyond traditional strategies and realign their approach to investing, spending and governance around the distinct mission and goals of their organization.""Hospitals, colleges and universities, charitable foundations and other nonprofits have a distinct need for cash to fund current spending needs and, at the same time, a need to grow the purchasing power of their principal. These needs are typically reflected in a traditionally conservative 60/40 percent mix of stocks and bonds," according to Christopher Hyzy, chief investment officer of U.S. Trust. "The typical nonprofit portfolio lost one-quarter of its value in 2008, the height of the financial crisis. While other individual and institutional investors have recouped much of their losses, many nonprofits continue to struggle. By adhering to traditional strategies that have not kept pace with changing market dynamics, many have been unable to benefit from emerging and rebounding growth opportunities."

What is atheism?
by Matt Slick
The word atheism comes from the negative a which means 'no,' and theos which means 'god.' Hence, atheism in the most basic terms means 'no god.' Basically, atheism is the lack of belief in a god and/or the belief that there is no god. By contrast, theism is the belief that there is a God and that he is knowable and that he is involved in the world. Most atheists do not consider themselves anti-theists but simply non-theists.
I've encountered many atheists who claim that atheism is not a belief system while others say it is. Since there is no official atheist organization, nailing down which description of atheism to use can be difficult. Nevertheless, the following are some definitions offered by atheists. Whichever definition you accept, atheism denies God.
- "An atheist is someone who believes and/or knows there is no god."
- "An atheist lacks belief in a god."
- "An atheist exercises no faith in the concept of god at all."
- "An atheist is someone who is free from religious oppression and bigotry."
- "An atheist is someone who is a free-thinker--free from religion and its ideas."
There are two main categories of atheists: strong and weak with variations in between. Strong atheists actively believe and state that no God exists. They expressly denounce the Christian God along with any other god. Strong atheists are usually more aggressive in their conversations with theists and try to shoot holes in theistic beliefs. They like to use logic and anti-biblical evidences to denounce God's existence. They are active, often aggressive, and openly believe that there is no God.
Agnostic Atheists, as I call them, are those who deny God's existence based on an examination of evidence. Agnosticism means 'not knowing' or 'no knowledge.' I call them agnostic because they state they have looked at the evidence and have concluded there is no God, but they say they are open to further evidence for God's existence.
Weak atheists simply exercise no faith in God. The weak atheist might be better explained as a person who lacks belief in God the way a person might lack belief that there is a green lizard in a rocking chair on the moon; it isn't an issue. He doesn't believe it or not believe it.
Finally, there is a group of atheists that I call militant atheists. They are, fortunately, few in number. They are usually highly insulting and profoundly terse in their comments to theists and particularly Christians. I've encountered a few of them; and they are vile, rude, and highly condescending. Their language is full of insults, profanity, and blasphemies. Basically, no meaningful conversation can be held with them.
Two Main Types of Arguments from Atheists
Atheist positions seem to fall into two main categories. The first is the lack-of-evidence category where the atheist asserts that the supporting evidence isn't good enough for him to affirm God's existence. The second is the category where the athiest believes that the idea of God's existence is illogical and contrary to the evidence at hand. To simplify, one position says there isn't enough evidence to conclude that God exists, and the other position says the evidence is contrary to God's existence. For those atheists who simply lack belief and exercise no energy in the discussion, neither category applies because they are not involved in the debate. But, some of those who claim to lack belief in God are often involved in discussions where they are arguing against God's existence.
A typical argument posed by an atheist to show why God does not exist is as follows: God is supposed to be all good and all-powerful. Evil and suffering exist in the world. If God is all good, he would not want evil and suffering to exist. If He is all-powerful, then He is able to remove all evil and suffering. Since evil and suffering exist, God is either not all good (which means he is not perfect and not God), or he is not all powerful (and limited in abilities and scope). Since either case shows God is not all good and powerful, then He does not exist. Of course, the problem is that the criticism is a false dichotomy. In other words, there are more than two possibilities; namely, God might have a reason for allowing evil and suffering; man's freedom might require the allowance of evil and suffering, etc.
Some Basic Tenets of Atheism
Presuppositions are important to us all. We look at the world through them. The atheist has a set of presuppositions, too. As I said, there is no definitive atheist organization that defines the absolutes of atheism, but there are basic principles that atheists, as a whole, tend to adopt. I've tried to list some of them below. Pease note, however, that not all atheists accept all of these tenets. The only absolute common one to which they hold is that they do not believe in a God or gods.
- There is no God or devil.
- There is no supernatural realm.
- Miracles cannot occur.
- There is no such thing as sin as a violation of God's will.
- Generally, the universe is materialistic and measurable.
- Man is material.
- Generally, evolution is considered a scientific fact.
- Ethics and morals are relative.
For the Christian, atheism clashes with many aspects of our faith. Some atheists openly attack Christianity--citing apparent contradictions in the Bible, perceived philosophical difficulties related to God, and what they consider as logical evidences against God's existence. But the atheists' criticisms are not without very good answers as you will see in the coming papers.

The best part of my ministry week is, by far, the 120 minutes or so I spend every Tuesday night with a group of 14 8th grade guys. And, the fact that my co-leader really does most of the hard work (like planning the lessons, communicating with parents, etc.) makes it even better!
Like most junior high small group gatherings, ours is ALWAYS a hodge-podge of unrelated conversations. Last night was no exception. Here, in no particular order and not confessing how much time was spent on each topic, is a partial list of what we talked about last night as we gathered together in our host home:
- English teacher attire: Specifically one who prefers fancy blouses with yoga pants, sandals and socks.
- The discussion of appendix removal (one of our guys had his removed last week) followed by a 5 minute appendectomy video on YouTube.
- Italian speed walkers using performance enhancing drugs.
- The parable of the unforgiving servant.
- The cute girl in math class and the temptation to "multiply".
- Jelly Beans
- iPhone apps we'd like to see….of the hilariously absurd sort.
- John 3:16 and the reason people hold up that particular passage on signs at sporting events.
- Scripture memory tips.
- Whether or not dinosaurs would make good pets.
- And after we were finished…after we closed in prayer…we watched the appendectomy video again.

Bug report #6822
Google Satellite tiles misalignment
|Start Date:
|Due date:
|Assigned to:
|Pirmin Kalberer
|% Done:
|Target version:
|Patch supplied:
Trying to digitize the coast of Dominican Republic at high zoom level, I noticed a strange shift-off in the tile picture when I zoomed further in. Even panning around makes the tiles shift off the digitized line.
I digitized at 1:1269 and zoomed into 1:635. Shapefile and screenshots (all EPSG:3875) are attached.
Strangely this does not happen with bing aerial tiles in the same zoom levels.
Tested with Qgis Lisboa and Master, Openlayers plugin 1.0.0 on Windows 7.
Updated by Andre Joost about 2 years ago
- Target version deleted (
Version 1.3)
Updated by Jacob Madsen almost 2 years ago
I have encountered the same issue. The strange thing is, that the bug only occurs when using the "Google Satellite" layer. The other 3 layers - "Streets", "Hybrid" and "Physical" do not have this problem. OpenLayers 1.1.0 plugin on latest Quantum GIS Desktop build 5ac7d03 running on Windows 7.
Updated by Andre Joost almost 2 years ago
... and it does not happen everywhere. Here in Germany I had no such problems. Maybe it is related to the available zoomlevel for Satellite imagery, which might be lower in less populated areas.
Updated by Matthew Schubert over 1 year ago
I can confirm this bug. I'm trying to digitize some rail lines, and I notice a zoom difference and offset between the Hybrid and Satellite layers from Google. The Hybrid layer seems to be correct, while the Satellite layer isn't.
Updated by Richard Fesler about 1 year ago
I can also confirm this bug on 2.0.1 (running on Win8-64.) Both Bing and Google aerials and aeriel/hybrid for me.
Updated by Dan Call 9 months ago
This issue still exists in QGIS 2.2.0-2. I was digitizing in New Castle county, Delaware, USA, at the closest zoom level, features in Google imagery didn't line up, and changed placement repeatedly when panning around the view.
Updated by Donald MacFarlan 9 months ago
I get the same result in QGIS 2.2 64 bit on Windows 7 (QGIS downloaded and installed today, openlayers plugin updated). Working on a remote area of the North Island West Coast, Google satellite shows very erratic displacement from GPS points. Bing Maps is better. A related (???) is that when I make a JPEG image the satellite image (OK in Print Oomposer) either disappears or is displaced a significant amount from the overlain data loaded from shapefiles and .csv files This also happens in Bing Maps
I had the same displacement problem when I first installed QGIS 2.2 32 bit, but updating the openlayers plugin fixed it. Will revert to 32 bit in the meantime.
Updated by Pirmin Kalberer 11 days ago
- Status changed from Open to Closed
- Assigned to set to Pirmin Kalberer
Latest Google offset problm is fixed in version 1.3.5. Please test and reopen ticket, if problem still exists.

Lint Art
Huell visits his artist friend Slater Barron to witness the beauty of art made from lint!
Dear Huell [and friend Slater, of course!]: I think I saw the first run of the Lint Lady Videolog. If not, it was a re-run not long after. I should have tried to make contact then, to see if my lint would be acceptable, because it did exactly as you said it would - I never [yup, that's right, NEVER] to this day am able to remove the lint from my drier's filter without thinking "how would this color/texture work in art by the Lint Lady?" Thanx for the memories!!
