Florida New RN Needs Job!!! - page 2
hi to all...i am writing because i am about wits end with the job searching. i worked so hard in school, i had impeccable grades, i had a great reputation as an excellent, intelligent student with all my professors both in... Read More
- 0Nov 8, '12 by SENSUALBLISSINFLQuote from BrendaH84I so happen to have filled an online application online today to a hospital that will probably take me 45 - 60 mins to get there.....did not want to go that far...but I am willing to travel.I also applied to around 75 jobs, the ONLY two who offered me positions, were two of the hospitals where I had clinical rotations.
Since I was there for clinicals, for those two positions I also FAXED my resume and cover letter, AND CALLED THE FLOOR where the position was open, and spoke to the Nurse Manager, letting them know I had been there during school, how much I loved it there etc etc etc.
BOTH of those places offered me a position, and of course I took one.
I wished I had not wasted time filling out all of the other applications.
At first I only wanted a hospital close to home and not one where I'd had clinicals (they were much farther), but beggars can't be choosers and the drive is only three days a week.
Hard to get the phone number of the floor where the unit is at. The hospital does not provide those numbers.
I am keeping the faith.
- 0Nov 9, '12 by BrendaH84to SENSUALBLISSINFL, they didn't say in the ad if it was med surg or oncology etc?
i called the main number and said, such and such unit please- they transferred the call-- when phone was answered i asked to speak to the Nurse manager on that floor, they said ok may i ask why, and i said, it's about the job posting you have, and they transferred me.
my drive is 30 miles BUT it is only 3 days a week, and we drive when most others are off the road, due to our 12 hour shifts, so it's not bad i wish u the best.
- 1Nov 9, '12 by SENSUALBLISSINFLThank you Brenda. I am willing to drive up to 50-55 miles each way. You are right, is only three times a week so is doable. I am open to day or night shift. I just want to start working already. I am afraid I am forgetting all I have learned in nursing school. I am not starting my BSN until I have a good six months on the new job so I will not have added stress of a new job and school. I am trying to keep positive, and not let myself get down, but it is becoming harder and harder each day.

Political correctness and incompetence often embrace each other. That was made clear in the Atlanta courthouse shooting. Brian Nichols proved to be a lot smarter than his captors, not to mention a quicker and better shot.
Political correctness and incompetence example No. 1 is the rule that prisoners must not be shackled lest it prejudice the jury. Luckily, the jurors weren't present, but if they had been, watching a prisoner shoot a judge and a court reporter would certainly be more prejudicial than seeing him in handcuffs. I expect even the incompetent people in Fulton County will change that rule.
Political correctness and incompetence example No. 2 is assigning a female deputy to escort an unshackled prisoner to the courtroom. Feminism is an ideology, not a description of reality. A 51-year-old, 5-foot-tall female was no match for a 6-foot-1-inch former college linebacker. He attacked her and took her gun. What in God's name would anyone expect to happen?
For a little bit of history, most law-enforcement agencies used to have height and weight requirements for male officers. Then a federal judge decided that that was treating women unequally. Feminist ideology dictates that women 5 feet, 1 inch tall or so and 115 pounds can wrestle 200-pound men equally as well as male officers. That, of course, is nuts, but this country became an open-air insane asylum during the 1960s. God shorted women on upper-body strength. Guess he's a male chauvinist pig.
Incompetence example No. 3 is that the initial assault on the female deputy was caught on security cameras. Trouble is, nobody was monitoring them, or if someone was, the person hid under his or her desk. Unmonitored security cameras are — how shall we say it — a stupid waste of money.
Nichols — and bear in mind in lawyerspeak that these are all allegations, since he has not been legally convicted of anything — went on to kill another deputy and pistol-whip a reporter in a parking garage, stealing his car.
Incompetence example No. 4 is that the police spent 13 hours looking for this car, when all the time it was parked on a lower floor in the same parking garage. As I said, Nichols is smarter than his captors and pursuers. He had intended to take the reporter as a hostage, but when the reporter escaped, he knew that everyone would have a description of the car. Ergo, he went to lower floor, parked the car and took the subway.
Incompetence example No. 5 is that they locked down the courthouse after it was all over, but failed to guard the subway. Even after 13 hours, Atlanta's finest had not discovered the car they were searching for. A civilian did that. And another civilian, whose life might be ruined by excessive media attention, talked Nichols into peacefully surrendering after he took her hostage.
Nichols is also thought to have killed a U.S. Customs agent, so, excluding the judge and the court reporter, the score was Nichols 3, and armed, presumably trained and equipped law-enforcement officers 0.
So, it was a civilian who found the car and a civilian who brought the episode to a peaceful conclusion. Perhaps Atlanta doesn't need its oh-so-politically correct police and sheriff's departments, which acted more like the Keystone Cops than trained professionals.
My advice is to stay clear of Atlanta. It is overcrowded and incompetently governed, and its urban sprawl is spreading like a cancer all over North Georgia. Pretty soon, north- and southbound travelers will have to detour through Alabama and South Carolina just to avoid Atlanta's traffic jams. Air travelers already know what a horror the airport is.
Political correctness should have no place in America. It is always costly to allow politics to trump reality, and, as in Atlanta, the results can be tragic. Look at the ruined lives that political correctness and plain old stupidity caused. Even after the carnage, as of this writing, Fulton County authorities haven't decided what crimes to charge Nichols with. How about murder? It shouldn't take too many brain cells to figure that out.

Since the dark, dark days of 2008 -- when impounds and euthanasia reached an all-time high in Orange County's lone animal shelter -- there's been much good news:
There is very sobering news in the statistics, too.
While a smaller number of animals had to be euthanized, the shelter's kill rate -- the percentage of animals it took in that never got out -- actually climbed:
And the number of animals who were reunited with their owners -- through ID tags, licenses, chips, etc. -- dove 23 percent (4,677 to 3,607).
This all makes the shelter's new director, Ryan Drabek, shift into analysis mode. Fewer than 14 percent of the dogs who came into the shelter had IDs, he said -- and only a heartbreaking 1.6 percent of the cats had ID. Without an ID, it's next to impossible to reunite a lost pet with its owners.
"This is the reason we will continue our focus on educating about the importance of an animal ID," Drabek told us in an e-mail. "An ID seems so simple, yet thousands of animals are impounded each year by shelters without them."
If you look at one-year changes, you see a mixed bag.
The good: Adoptions were up more than 4 percent between 2009 and 2010, and impounds were down nearly 1 percent.
The not-so-good: Euthanasia was up almost 1 percent as well.
That chart shows the trends at the shelter over seven years. Ideally, you want that blue line and red line to drop low, and that green line to reach high.
"Some encouraging news is that our public adoptions (non rescue) increased by almost 500 animals," Drabek said. "We believe this is a testament to the increased number of adoption events and promotions we were able to do last year. We were able to heavily promote these events and hold 1 to 2 each month thanks not only to the work of our staff, but also local organizations like Angel's Baseball Foundation, Desperate Paws of Orange County Dog Club, and Pathways to Hope (who does the Prison Pup program). Also, we now have the Noble Friends Foundation for OC Animal care who will be dedicating their efforts specifically to support the animals at our shelter!"
It's impossible to overstate the importance of spay and neuter -- much of the tragedy that takes place at animal shelters would disappear if pets were fixed -- and Drabek knows he has an awful lot of work to do. "We're working hard," he said. "It's kind of interesting how our database has progressed -- we're getting an opportunity to really start to dig deep and identify some trends and see where we need to focus.">

Zoonotic Trematodiasis in South-East and Far-East Asian Countries
- V. Kumar
- … show all 1 hide
* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT.Get Access
Zoonotic trematodiasis constitute a public health problem of considerable magnitude in many countries of South-east and Far-east Asia. These infections are caused by the digenetic trematodes of various genera and have a high rate of prevalence in the countries of their endemicity.
The trematode infections of the SE and FE Asian countries which are zoonoses and which involve the extra-intestinal organs of the mammalian host cause well known diseases as these affect the vital organs and cause spectacular pathology. The diseases like Clonorchiasis, opisthorchiasis, paragonimiasis and schistosomiasis affecting the biliary system, lungs and hepato-intestinal tissues of the host need special mention. Clonorchiasis, opisthorchiasis and paragonimiasis are sea-food borne infections acquired through the ingestion of infected fishes, crabs and cray-fishes. Certain food habits of the ethnic communities have important bearing on their transmission dynamics. Schistosomiasis is water-borne and exposure of the paddy field farmers, bathing and doing laundry in waters contaminated with schistosome cercariae constitute major means of human infection.
The trematodes inhabiting the intestinal tract may also arouse varying grades of pathological effects. Gastrodiscoides hominis, Fasciolopsis buski and Artyfechinostomum malayanum are found in the intestine of humans and in all these three instances the local pigs of SE and FE Asia serve as the reservoir host. Close association of the farming communities with their local pigs assists their dissemination through the molluscan vector. Dogs and cats serve as hosts of certain zoonotic trematode infections like Heterophyes heterophyes, Metagonimus yokogawai, Haplorchis spp. etc. These intestinal trematode parasites are transmitted through ingestion of infected fishes. Echinostoma ilocanum, E.lindoense and E.hortense are other trematodes found in the intestine of humans.
Since the advent of praziquantel, the chemotherapy of many of the aforementioned infections may have been resolved to a great extent though other integrated control measures are indispensable in achieving a substancial reduction in their incidence.

|You will also need an 8 x 2 inches (20 x 5.5 cm) deep, loose-bottomed, springform tin, very lightly buttered.
This recipe first appeared in The Delia Collection: Italian.
For the pastry, sift the flour, then place it in a processor with the cubed butter, sugar, lemon zest and cinnamon, then switch it on and process to the fine crumb stage. Then add the eggs and process again till you have a stiff dough. Remove it from the processor, wrap in clingfilm and leave it to rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, pre-heat the oven to gas mark 6, 400°F (200°C) and prepare the apples by peeling and cutting them into ½ inch (1 cm) slices, keeping them in cold water to which a tablespoon of lemon juice has been added, to prevent them browning. Then cut off two-thirds of the pastry and, on a very generously floured board, roll out the large piece to line the inside of the tin. It will be fragile and break easily but honestly, all you need to do is simply squeeze the pastry across the base and sides of the tin, repairing any cracks as you go. Next, drain the apples, patting them dry with a clean tea towel.
Fill the pastry case with the apples, sprinkling in the sugar, cinnamon and lemon zest as you go. Then finally, roll out the reserved third of the pastry for the top and position it over the apples, sealing round the edges with your fingers and squeezing together any cracks. Brush the surface with milk, make steam holes in the centre, and bake on the centre shelf of the oven for 45-50 minutes or until a skewer inserted tells you the apples are cooked. Cool for about 20 minutes before unmoulding and serve, dusted with icing sugar. This is great with pouring cream, or for sheer indulgence, how about some mascarpone?r100

As a nice surprise today, I was invited to go see my friend Steph and his band Gallows support Cypress Hill! Frank the frontman realised that the response wasn't as good as one would have hoped, and held it together so well..."Who invited the Stoners? F**k off home". Well said.
I am writing this in the changeover between the two bands. The change over used to excite me so much, and now I know th…

Los Angeles Magazine EIC Mary Melton Adds Emmis Publishing VP Title
From an LA perspective, the most pertinent aspect of today's announcement from Emmis Publishing is contained in the very last paragraph. There, we are reminded that Mary Melton (pictured) is a "fourth-generation Angeleno." Very impressive.
Melton, the well-liked EIC of Los Angeles magazine, is adding a weighty concurrent title to her resume: vp/editorial director of Emmis Publishing, her parent company, based in Indianapolis. From today's announcement:
"In Mary, we are continuing the tradition of exceptional journalistic leadership," Greg Loewen, president of Emmis Publishing, said. "We are thrilled Mary will take on a broader, company-wide role overseeing the editorial content of our award-winning city and regional magazines."

Up until the mid 90's Kamshet was just another hick town, an unknown train station on the humungous network of the Indian railways until Sanjay & Astrid stumbled upon it in a search for a piece of land away from the madding crowds of Mumbai. Their plan was to build a small getaway for themselves and their friends – a place to retreat to and enjoy nature.
Astrid had a dream. A dream in which her children had the chance to run barefoot, climb trees and hills, swim in the lakes and rivers and enjoy an unbridled childhood like she had. On the other hand, Sanjay discovered free flight, the plan evolved and the dream expanded.
Today Kamshet is known to the world paragliding community as a Paragliding paradise in India - A flying holiday destination because of the massive task they undertook in developing infrastructure and popularizing the area as a PG and an adventure holiday destination.
Each year Sanjay & Astrid have the pleasure of hosting and introducing scores of pilots and nature lovers from all over the country and the world to the wonderful sport of paragliding. In the process they've had a positive impact on the lives of local community as well.
Kamshet is located in the Western Ghats (hills) off an ancient trade route that once linked the west coast to the hinterland. The hills along this route are dotted with ancient cave temples, medieval hill fortresses and colonial hill stations.
Kamshet is a 'dream come true' for all those who love flying, freedom and nature. Superb scenery changes hues along with the seasons. No noise, no pollution, just hills, lakes and wondrous winds.
Kamshet offers you a glimpse into a simple sustainable lifestyle and a chance to meet warm, friendly village people. The small villages are still built in traditional style (mud, thatch & reed), the farmers still till their land with ancient plough and oxen and the bullock cart is still a reliable means of transport.
The weekend BBQ and pilot get together at Native Place is the big event of the week. Weekdays are buzzing here too and as different groups check in and out the party goes on. Chilling out with a beer on the terrace under a starry tropical sky is what we do to unwind after a tiring day at the site. Balu's, the local pub on the way back to base is ideal for a few beers and mingling with the locals.
Children are welcome to come, stay and enjoy! Kids can have a gala time by simply being in the great outdoors with trees to climb, goats and cows to watch and other children to play. Our environment is polished and equipped to make our young visitors happy.
There is a wide range of activities including tandem flights for non fliers, visiting remote villages, bird watching & nature trails, trekking, traditional style fishing, visits to ancient cave temples and forts or just relaxing on your terrace with a good book. When Piku and Stan are around an in-house yoga class happens and all are welcome to join in.
There are many beautiful spots to be discovered in the surroundings of Kamshet. Of particular interest are the Karla, Bhaja and Bhedsa caves, ancient Buddhist cave temples with exquisite carvings and magnificent statues of the Buddha.

Weekly Book Buzz: New Horror From Heather Graham
HWA Lifetime Achievement Awards Announced
Tim Janson
March 27, 2011
Phantom Evil by Heather Graham
© Mira Books
The Horror Writers Association has chosen two icons of the genre to receive the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award this year, Ellen Datlow and Al Feldstein.
Ellen Datlow is unquestionably one of the most influential editors in the history of the horror genre. Her long-running The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror (which she co-edited with Terri Windling, Kelly Link and Gavin J. Grant), and, more recently, The Best Horror of the Year, have helped define the art of horror writing since 1988. She was fiction editor of OMNI Magazine and SCIFICTION and has won multiple Locus Awards, Hugo Awards, Stoker Awards, International Horror Guild Awards, World Fantasy Awards, and The Shirley Jackson Award for her editing.
Al Feldstein is one of the most greatest figures in the history of horror comics. Al was one of the chief editors at EC Comics in the 1950s. He edited titles such as Tales from the Crypt, The Haunt of Fear, The Vault of Horror, Shock SuspenStories, Weird Science, Weird Fantasy, and Crime SuspenStories. He adapted stories by Ray Bradbury, and gave Harlan Ellison his first sale. His EC work has been reprinted in dozens of different editions, and has been adapted to film (The Vault of Horror, Tales from the Crypt).
Watcher of the Dead (Sword of Shadows) J. V. Jones [Tor]
In this powerful saga of redemption and renewal, J. V. Jones brings to vivid life the magnificent tapestry of a world at once desperately fighting for survival against supernatural monsters and rent by internecine warfare. The frozen land at the north of the world was once ruled by a legendary nation of superhuman warriors. But that age has passed, leaving ancient clans to struggle for dominance as supernatural forces beyond their control threaten their very existence.
Amid the chaos of world-changing violence, unlikely heroes emerge. An unwanted warrior, a forsaken woman of power, the betrayed widow of a slain clan chief: these are the heroes rising to claim what has been taken from them and to reshape the world. In a sharply observed narrative that illuminates these riven lives, Jones has crafted a human drama full of the excitement, suspense, and sheer storytelling power that have made the Sword of Shadows a fantasy series that transcends genre to become a memorable tale of human striving and triumph that speaks to readers as have few others.
Waking Nightmares (Peter Octavian) Christopher Golden [Ace]
Peter Octavian, once a vampire, now a powerful mage, has been living a quiet life in San Francisco. But when the barrier that used to prevent demons and monsters from entering the world have fallen, Octavian is compelled to do what he can to hold back the darkness.
Vegas Knights (Angry Robot) Matt Forbeck [Angry Robot]
It's a kind of magic... When two college freshmen decide to spend Spring Break using their magic to fleece the gambling tables of Las Vegas, little do they imagine that Vegas harbors some magical secrets of its own... And of course what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas - alive or dead.
Surrender the Dark L. A. Banks [Pocket]
Celeste Jackson has fought all her life against a fog of hallucination and substance abuse, but it's not until she meets her protector, Azrael, an angel who has left the safety of the Light, that she learns of the evil forces that have been trying to ruin her, and why. A fierce battle for control of the mortal realm is brewing, and only Celeste—with the help of the Remnant, her half-human, half-angel brethren—can stand in the way. Together, Celeste and Azrael must gather an army of sensitives to defeat the dark powers that have ruled humanity for centuries, but time is running out. If Azrael surrenders to his growing desire for Celeste, he risks being trapped among humanity forever. But the longer he stays, the harder she is to resist. To save the world, Celeste must draw on her own dark experiences with addiction to help Azrael overcome the one temptation that could possibly make him an eternal prisoner—his obsession with her.
Master and Apprentice Sonya Bateman [Pocket]
Luck has never been on Gavyn Donatti's side. Anyone else with magic abilities inherited from a distant genie relative would have it made, but not Donatti, descendant of a cranky, shape-shifting genie named Ian. The prince of a murdered kingdom, consumed with revenge and driven by an unbreakable curse, Ian is determined to hunt down and destroy every last one of his enemies in the power-hungry snake clan—at any cost, including his life. Or Donatti's.
Obsessed by his own rage, Ian has never really taught Donatti how to use his abilities. So when a powerful cult of magic-users captures Ian's wife, the princess Akila, and then Ian himself, Donatti is left alone to take on dozens of half-djinn and their mysterious leader with designs on world domination. Facing an impossible mission, Donatti is forced to turn to an enemy for help—one who claims to know how to unlock his true potential. Trusting a snake might be the last mistake Donatti ever makes—but if he doesn't learn to wield the power inside him, everyone will pay the ultimate price.
Dark Jenny Alex Bledsoe [Tor]
Alex Bledsoe's novels featuring detective Eddie LaCrosse have drawn rave reviews for their ingenious blend of classic fantasy and hard-boiled detective fiction. Now withDark Jenny, Bledsoe returns with an all-new tale of intrigue and murder…For twenty-five gold pieces a day, plus expenses, Eddie LaCrosse will take on most any case. But the unexpected delivery of a coffin in the dead of winter forces LaCrosse to look back at a bygone chapter in his past—and the premeditated murder of a dream.
Ruled by the noble King Marcus Drake, the island kingdom of Grand Braun is an oasis of peace and justice in an imperfect world. At least until the beautiful Queen Jennifer is accused of adultery and murder. In the wrong castle at the wrong time, Eddie finds himself drafted at sword's point to solve the mystery. With time running out, and powerful nobles all too eager to pin the murder on Eddie himself, he must untangle a tangled web of palace intrigues, buried secrets, and bewitching women—before the entire kingdom erupts into civil war.
Murder, mystery, and magic—just another day on the job for Eddie LaCrosse.
Con & Conjure (Raine Benares) Lisa Shearin [Ace]
Raine Benares is a seeker who finds lost things and people. Ever since the Saghred, a soul-stealing stone that's given her unlimited power, has bonded to her, the goblin king and the elves have wanted to possess its magic themselves.

It soon becomes evident that their journey has more significance than any of them realise, as past secrets catch up with them and unknown adversaries hunt them... to the death!
Black Blade Blues J. A. Pitts [Tor]
Sarah Beauhall has more on her plate than most twenty-somethings: day job as a blacksmith, night job as a props manager for low-budget movies, and her free time is spent fighting in a medieval re-enactment group. The lead actor breaks Sarah's favorite one-of-a-kind sword, and to avoid reshooting scenes, Sarah agrees to repair the blade. One of the extras, who claims to be a dwarf, offers to help. And that's when things start to get weird. Could the sword really be magic, as the "dwarf" claims? Are dragons really living among us as shapeshifters?
And as if things weren't surreal enough, Sarah's girlfriend Katie breaks out the dreaded phrase… "I love you." As her life begins to fall apart, first her relationship with Katie, then her job at the movie studio, and finally her blacksmithing career, Sarah hits rock bottom. It is at this moment, when she has lost everything she has prized, that one of the dragons makes their move. And suddenly what was unthinkable becomes all too real…and Sarah will have to decide if she can reject what is safe and become the heroine who is needed to save her world.
Star Trek: The Next Generation: Indistinguishable from Magic David A McIntee [Star Trek Books]

Helped by old friends and hindered by old enemies, their investigation will come to threaten everything they hold dear. Seeking out the new, and going where no one has gonebefore, Geordi, Scotty, and Guinan find that their pasts are very much of the present, and must determine whether any sufficiently advanced technology is really indistinguishable from magic.
Embedded Dan Abnett [Angry Robot]
When journalist Lex Falk gets himself chipped into the brain of a combat soldier, he thinks he has the ultimate scoop - a report from the forbidden front line of a distant planetary war, live to the living rooms of Earth. When the soldier is killed, however, Lex has to take over the body and somehow get himself back to safety once more... broadcasting all the way. Heart-stopping combat science fiction from the million-selling Warhammer 40,000 author.
Flandry's Legacy: The Technic Civilization Saga Poul Anderson [Baen TPB]
Sir Dominic Flandry is now an Admiral, but takes little joy in his new rank. He sees the rot in the Terran Empire on every hand and knows that the Long Night will inevitably fall upon the galaxy. His consolation is that measures he has taken while doing what he can to postpone the Empire's final collapse may shorten the coming galactic dark age and hasten the rise of a new interstellar civilization. In the meantime, he'll enjoy the comforts of a decadent civilization—and he'll always be ready for one more battle against the Empire's enemies. This concluding volume of the Technic Civilization saga, one of the milestones of modern science fiction includes two full-length novels:
A Stone in Heaven—When the daughter of Flandry's mentor asks for help, he intervenes, and finds he must thwart a would-be dictator's plans to seize control of the Empire.
The Game of Empire—The Merseians, alien enemies of the Empire, have put into motion an insidious plan to bring the Terran Empire down. Flandry's daughter, Diana, and her feline-like alien friend have discovered the conspiracy, but can they stop it in time?
Land of the Dead Thomas Harlan [Tor]
It's a small change in our history: imagine that the Japanese made contact with the Aztec Empire. Instead of small-pox and Christianity, they brought an Imperial alliance, samurai ethics, and technology. By the time of these books, the Emperor in Mexico City rules not just the entire planet Earth, but a growing interplanetary Empire. But the Galaxy is not a hospitable place, and there are other powers, both new and very very old, who would stop the spread of the power in Anuhuac.
A weapon of the Old Ones, from the time of the First Sun, has been found in a region of space. It must be investigated, then tamed or destroyed to keep it from the hands of opposing powers. Gretchen Anderssen, freelance archeologist and specialist in First Sun artifacts, has been hired by her old mentor Green Hummingbird, agent of the Mirror Service, to join him in the study. They will be joined by old friends, and some old enemies as well.
The View from the Imperium Jody Lynn Nye [Baen]
P. G. Wodehouse meets space opera, as Ensign Thomas Innes Loche Kinago, fresh from the Academy is given his first command. A crumb from the upper crust, he's eager to uphold the traditions of his family, and in particular, his mother, a distinguished Admiral of the Imperium. Of course, he's aware of the importance of always having simply smashing tailored uniforms on hand, and having his camera ready to record memorable moments for his scrapbook. In the meantime, a charismatic leader has arisen who seems able to control the minds of anyone he meets, and may be on his way to taking over the entire galaxy. Can Kinago's aristocratic bearing and unbridled snobbery stand up to such a challenge? Fortunately, his constant companion, the unflappable Jeeves, er, Parsons, is on hand to look after the young, impulsive master, and somehow help his charge bumble his way through, perhaps even saving the galaxy in the process.
Phantom Evil (Krewe of Hunters) Heather Graham [Mira Hardcover]
A secret government unit is formed under the oversight of Adam Harrison, famed paranormal investigator. The six members he's gathered know a little of the otherworldly—each has honed a psychic talent of their own. Jackson Crow, part English, part Cheyenne, heads the group. Haunted by his experience with an ancestral ghost who saved his life as a child, and the recent murders of two previous teammates, Jackson can't tell if Adam's demoted him or given him an extraordinary opportunity. Despite his link to the realm of spirits, he's well aware that the living commit the most heinous crimes, with spiritualist charlatans existing merely to fool and seduce the unwary.
To counterbalance Jackson's careful skepticism, Adam Harrison has paired him with Angela Hawkins, a young woman who learned the painful lesson of loss at an early age. A police officer utilizing her paranormal intuition in Virginia, she already has her hands full. But Adam's call to New Orleans is strong. The case: In a historic mansion in New Orleans's French Quarter, a senator's wife falls to her death from a balcony. Most think she jumped, distraught over the loss of her young son. Some say she was pushed. And yet others believe she was beckoned by the ghostly spirits that inhabit the house—once the site of a serial killer's grisly work. Whether supernatural or all too human, crimes of passion, greed and desire will cast the pair into danger of losing their lives…and their immortal souls.
I Don't Want to Kill You Dan Wells [Tor TPB]
Dan Wells introduced us to John Wayne Cleaver in the chilling novelsI Am Not a Serial Killer and Mr. Monster. In I Don't Want to Kill You, Cleaver faces his toughest challenge yet.
John Wayne Cleaver has called a demon---literally called it on the phone---and challenged it to a fight. He's faced two monsters already, barely escaping with his life, and now he's done running; he's taking the fight to them. As he wades through the town's darkest secrets, searching for any sign of who the demon might be, one thing becomes all too clear: in a game of cat and mouse with a supernatural killer, you are always the mouse.
In I Am Not a Serial Killer we watched a budding sociopath break every rule he had to save his town from evil. In Mr. Monster we held our breath as he fought madly with himself, struggling to stay in control. Now John Wayne Cleaver has mastered his twisted talents and embraced his role as a killer of killers. I Don't Want to Kill You brings his story to a thundering climax of suspicion, mayhem, and death. It's time to punish the guilty. And in a town full of secrets, everyone is guilty of something.
Haunted: Dark Delicacies III Del Howison [Ace]
In this third distinguished collection of twenty-one superb, sublimely dark tales written especially for this volume, today's acknowledged masters of horror fiction offer readers a truly twisted taste of terror.
Fire Spirit Graham Masterton [Severn House]
A mesmerizing new story from the master of supernatural horror - Ruth Cutter juggles family life with her career as a top arson investigator, but a series of horrific fires leaves her baffled. The victims seem to have nothing in common except the unnatural intensity of the fire that engulfed them . . . and the creepy kid who haunts each crime scene. But these are no ordinary fires. Can Ruth overcome her scepticism in time to save her family and avert the coming apocalypse?
Deadwater (Deadwater series: Book 1) Anthony Giangregorio [Living Dead Press]
Be careful what you drink! When a chemical spill in a small town's water supply causes the residents to become flesh eating zombies, Henry Watson finds himself thrown into a hell where the living dead walk and want nothing more than to feed on the living. Now Henry's trying to escape. With the military on one side and a horde of bloodthirsty zombies on the other, Henry must try to battle his way to freedom. With a small group of survivors to aid him, he will do his best to stay alive and escape the city codenamed "Deadwater."
A Hundred Words for Hate (Remy Chandler) Thomas E. Sniegoski (Roc)
This is the fourth book in Sniegoski's series about Remy Chandler, a former Seraphim angel who relinquished most of his Heavenly powers to become a detective on Earth. I've been slow to come around on the Chandler series, basically finding them pale comparisons to Simon Green's Nightside series or Jim Butcher's Dresden Files. But Sniegoski really took a step forward with this latest offering. The Sons of Adam, the descendents of THE Adam from the Garden of Eden contact Remy for assistance.
After living for many Millennia, Adam is finally dying. His final wish is to be put to rest in the Garden of Eden. The Sons want Remy to find the key to the Garden so Adam can be laid to rest there but finding the key is only part of the problem. There is something else looking for the Key and it wants Adam for its own evil intentions. Remy finds himself under attack by the Guardian of Eden as the Sons are nearly destroyed. Remy unearths a plot that could mean the very destruction of Heaven itself.
I loved everything about A Hundred Words of Hate. The plot of Adam still living after thousands of years and finally wishing to go to his final resting place draws the reader in right off the bat with its mystery. Remy is initially seen in the book helping an elderly lady try to find something although she can't remember what she's looking for. You'll see how this all fits in. Francis also makes his return, finding himself in Hell and witness a horrific event. At just over 300 pages it's a brisk read and Sniegoski keeps tossing a new surprise at the reader with every turn of a page.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (more commonly known as SAD, sometimes called 'winter depression' or 'winter blues') is a very real condition that affects at least one in eight people in the UK in at least a minor way – yet an estimated 2% of the population has the most extreme form of the condition.
The mildest form is called subsyndromal SAD, and as the numbers suggest, it's the most commonly encountered version. There are both genetic and geographic reasons as to why people are affected; the latest science seems to suggest that women are more likely than men to suffer from it, and there's a greater chance of becoming afflicted the further you live from the equator. Significantly, the onset of the condition seems to appear in most people after the age of 30. If there's a history of it in the family, chances are greater that you or your siblings will be affected by SAD.
Although the condition seems to have been recognised for at least a couple of centuries, Seasonal Affective Disorder has only been formally identified as an illness since the 1980s. For something so prevalent, it seems tricky to pin down exactly what the cause of the problem is.
Essentially, SAD is a mood disorder that's most commonly associated with depressive episodes, directly relating to seasonal variations in light. SAD can be very disabling for patients and is often overlooked, even by trained healthcare experts. The causes are not completely known, but it's thought to relate to the hormone melatonin, which is produced in greater numbers during the dark. Lack of exposure to sunlight seems to have a direct relationship.
SAD season begins around September and usually ends in April, with January and February being the worst months. As well as depression, patients may also suffer from prolonged sleep and weight gain. A loss in appetite and libido, as well as feelings of irritability and tearfulness are all common.
If you think you might suffer from SAD, or perhaps you know someone who does, there are things you can do that will help. Keep a diary to record moods and map out when the symptoms begin and end. What are the symptoms, and how often do they occur? This will all be useful information to note down and aid successful diagnosis.
Simple solutions can really help. Spend more time outdoors – ideally, getting out as often as possible – as well as exercising; eating healthily and keeping active throughout the day are all things that can make a big difference. When working, make sure you do so in the brightest conditions, always making sure there's lots of light.
There are methods of light therapy which involve sitting in front of very bright light for periods of time (30-60 minutes each day as a rule). Although this method has been demonstrated to work on about two thirds of all SAD patients, it can take many weeks to have an effect and is not currently available via the National Health Service.
The best therapy seems to be found by using support groups or attending counselling services – the vast majority of documented cases have been shown to improve the condition of patients who seek counselling and talk about their own issues. To find support groups or counselling and advice centres in your area, make use of a free business directory listings service like Directory Lists. A quick search using this online directory will show any relevant organisations in your town or city.

Why does my toddler talk so much?
My daughter is two and a half and sometimes drives me crazy with her questions. She wants to talk all the time! I don't want to ignore her, but I find I often lose patience. Can you explain to me why this constant chatter is necessary? Maybe it will help me cope with it, if I can see it as a "stage" she is going through.Question:
Gayle Peterson
Gayle Peterson, PhD, is a family therapist specializing in prenatal and family development. She is a clinical member of the Association... Read more
Your daughter is making her own personal discovery about how the world works. She is likely to be quite excited about this revelation and just can't get enough explaining!
Language development is essential to higher thinking. Taking the time to talk to your child pays off in the ability to develop higher reasoning skills. Why? Because when you take the time to explain why things work the way they do (whether it is why a plant needs water or why a toy cannot be bought immediately because the store is closed) you give them practice in understanding the relationship between words and events.
We use words to think. Words are symbolic representations of ideas and concepts. The more your child has practice linking explanations to events, or enjoys following the concepts presented in a story you read, the greater the opportunity your child has to develop a vocabulary which can be used for independent thinking and abstract reasoning.
Words are tools for abstract thinking. Reading stories and telling stories about what the family's plans are for the next day, encourages your child to visualize the future. Of course, answering those "why," "what" and "how come" questions so popular with this age child really matters.
Let's take a brief look at some of the things that a child this age is likely to be capable of, and how these abilities interact in your child's development. You might notice that she can whisper, walk on tiptoes, use the toilet and feed herself. Mastery of physical processes brings confidence, independence and a readiness to interact socially. As you may have observed, your child has likely become more active in the decisions, activities and conversations in the household. No longer a baby, she may even have opinions and ideas of her own and offers commentary. Increased social skills, in turn, facilitates opportunities for further cognitive development.
Children of this age also recognize and use humor, as well as perform simple tasks such as picking up toys and putting them in a basket. In fact, cooperation, laughter and an ability to follow simple directions can make this age delightful, as well as challenging.
Rest assured that your daughter will not always be so talkative. Later, this discovery will not be so new and silent thinking will replace the constant verbalization of ideas.Answer:

Alternatively, customers can opt to adorn gifts with the cheery, red lids of candy boxes, nestling 12 chocolate-dipped morsels inside to build anticipation and determine if loved ones have x-ray vision as they guess whether fruit will come dusted in shredded coconut or drizzled in white chocolate.
There are people who love cooking from scratch and people who shudder at the thought of assembling a turkey club sandwich. Rosewood Market and Deli caters to both. Aisles of grocery items help list-makers check off boxes for gluten-free food, pasture-raised meats and eggs, and local raw milks. The produce section harvests organic choices from local farms, and the cheese case displays sticks and slices from around the region and the globe. In the deli, soups, salads, desserts, baked goods, and other items satisfy tastes from vegan to carnivore. Quick meals in the grab-n-go case include sandwiches and salads that can be topped with homemade dressings and spreads, such as tamari gravy dill vinaigrette and a spicy chipotle spread.
Rosewood Market and Deli has matured from its beginnings as the Basil Pot restaurant in 1973. It?s grown while adhering to the idea that ?people can take an active, hands-on approach to their own wellness through delicious food,? as it proclaims on its website. A commitment to sustainability permeates the market, from its cardboard-recycling dumpster and reusable produce boxes to its compostable utensils and ability to accept biodegradable credit cards.
"It's like having Mr. Rogers teach your child to swim," said one parent who left it up to The Swim Lessons Company's Jim Reiser to show her child the secrets of not sinking. A third-generation swim teacher and coach, Jim approaches his pupils from a gentle, comforting angle that's especially calibrated to meet the needs of infants, preschoolers, and adults disguised as Toys 'R' Us kids, employing fun activities and drills to impart skills. His friendship with water began in elementary school, and it was a friendship destined to last. To pay for college, Jim leased the university pool and used it to train young swimmers; he went on to teach aquatic courses at the University of South Carolina and lead multiple swimmers to state championships. "The Swim Professor"—a nickname Jim earned after founding Swim Lessons University, an online learning resource loaded with educational videos—now spends his days sharing the magic of swimming with people of every age, imparting the tips and tricks they'll need to survive in a pool, from holding their breath to performing a proper backstroke and catching Marco Polo.
Relying on customer testing and a comfort-scale rating, A Goodnight Sleepstore's accessible retailers pair patrons with cushioned name-brand mattresses that coax them into a restful torpor without overnight aches. Staff have coded the shop's pillow-top, memory-foam, and firm mattresses on a comfort scale of one to six, allowing customers to quickly gauge which mattresses will offer the firmness needed for back sleeping and which are soft enough to conceal stockpiles of pilfered marshmallow crème. The shop also showcases accessories such as bed frames, pillows, and sheets, allowing customers to fully assemble the requirements for their new sleeping situation. Free delivery is available for bed sets $599 and higher, and a 30-day money-back guarantee ensures clients won't have to toss and turn over whether they made the right decision.

Grady Avenue roundabout reveals need for refresher on meaning of 'yield'
Have you noticed how many drivers would benefit from a refresher course in driver's education? How some of these folks get a license and keep a license is beyond me.
Several years ago, my mom was riding with her sister when they approached an intersection with a green light. Ruby came to a complete stop in Macon traffic.
"Ruby, why are we stopping? The light's green," my mom said.
Ruby replied, "Well, it's about to turn red." And a few seconds later, it did.
You may have heard about the lady who was pulled over on Interstate 20 for driving 20 mph. As the officer approached the car, he noticed four senior adult ladies in the car, two in the front and three in the back. The passengers were wide-eyed and white as ghosts.
The driver, obviously confused, said, "Officer, I was going the speed limit. What's the problem?"
"Ma'am," the officer explained, "you weren't speeding, but you were driving slower than the posted slow limit and were endangering other drivers."
"Sir, I was going the posted speed limit of 20 miles per hour. I don't understand."
The officer realized the lady's confusion and patiently stated, "Ma'am, 20 is the interstate number. This is I-20. The speed limit on this stretch is 55 mph. The lady was embarrassed and thanked the officer for his help.
After issuing a warning, he started to walk away, but was curious about her passengers. He returned, looked in the back seat, and asked, "Are you folks okay? You seem really shook up."
The driver replied, "Oh, they'll be okay in a minute. We just got off of highway 138."
The round-about at Grady Avenue and Beauregard Boulevard opened Aug. 5, and it's been interesting to observe drivers using to the new circle. I go through that intersection at least twice daily, and it's obvious some folks don't know the meaning of "yield."
On two occasions recently, I approached the circle going south and a car going east blew through the yield sign, even though I was already in the loop and approaching them. One of the drivers kept moving slowly as she watched another car entering the loop going north, but she never looked left to see me already in the circle. She pulled out in front of me while staring down the driver to her right.
Another time, a driver approaching from the west stopped at her yield sign and looked both ways. Signage and the word "yield" boldly painted across each entrance to the circle clearly communicates the expectation, but apparently drivers have forgotten what yield means.
Regarding the roundabout, cars already in the roundabout have the right-of-way, and yielding means allowing them to proceed before you proceed.
I wonder if we remember what it means to yield to God? Spiritually speaking, yield means that we recognize that God has the right-away and that we allow Him to call the shots in our lives. Yielding has to do with surrendering our will to God's will and being obedient. It means that we rely totally on Him and not ourselves. One person said yield means to say "yes in every little detail." That is, say yes to God.
When we yield, we're saying, "Not my will, God, but yours." We move from self-centeredness to God-centeredness and learn to trust and depend on Him day by day. Then we can relax.
As I Peter 5:8 reads, "casting all your cares on Him, for He cares for you." When we yield, we no longer have the pressure of controlling everything and having to have everything go our way. We let go and let God take care of things. He's God, and we're not. He can handle what we can't.
Back to our roundabout, amazingly, the Fayetteville Police Department reports only one rear-end collision in the roundabout since Aug. 5 and no citations issued for failure to yield. I wonder if God would cite us for failure to yield?

I can only imagine the # of accidents caused by acts of civility here in PTC. Going to work the other morning I witnessed a car on McIntosh @ the dam w/ cars following, STOP. Dead in the middle of the road: to allow a truck to exit the recycling. I wish people would understand that when 2 cars are at an intersection...the car to the right has the right-o-way...JUST go. When 2 cars meet at a stop sign, the car turning left should yield to the car traveling thru...JUST pass by me, so I can turn. You never know when these drivers are just going to finally follow the rule and come at you. Inaction causes confusion. Quit being so polite and drive.
I really miss the ambush set up by the FPD, to catch stop sign runners, speeders, as they sat parked backed in on the small incline 150 feet south of the old stop sign.
I bet you miss the revenue generated from those ambushes, but oh well. However, no more utility bill payments for the traffic lights, so guess it's a wash. Over time, cheaper, too.
it is true that once inside the circle you do not stop. However, you are YIELDING, not STOPPING. So, if there is room and to get in to the circle and there is no vehicle close (in your section of the circle), get in. It's simple really, but we are dealing with georgia trained drivers frequently.....the very same drivers who will stop in the middle of the road at a yield sign, when they are making a right turn to attempt to allow another vehicle to turn in front of them (making a left in to the same road) across traffic! I've been told it's some sort of 'southern hospitality' thing, but I don't buy it.
By the way, Dr. Pastor Chancey, your segue in to somehow making the traffic circle and yielding in to a religious issue was somewhat odd and disturbing....just my opinion.
be even funnier if they had come off from 285 instead of 138. Still, LOL.
Of course the FPD has no citations. First of all, they don't patrol it.
Now, if they did and starting ticketing all the abusers, it would just prove the citizens right who said they don't want a roundabout and prove the city govt. was wrong, it should never have been put in. If you are a cop in Fayetteville, are you gonna be the one who started proving your bosses were wrong? Think about it.
...that they've had ANY drivers training at all! This IS Georgia, where required driver training was only instituted about 6 years ago; that leaves a HUGE percent of ignorant drivers out there! God help us get through the day - and back to our homes safely!

Great Thing of the Day: Michelle Obama's Valentine to Barack
First lady Michelle Obama just tweeted out a Valentine's Day message to her husband, which, unlike a lot of February 14th things (still not into "HVD"), we unabashedly love.
First, it shows she's hip with the social mediashe and Barack are really killing it after yesterday's House of Cards tweetand that's cool in its own right. It's also sweet, with the whole "hey Barack, I'll always be your valentine!" caption, but not, like, cloyingly so. And it's funny in that self-effacing way, with photos of the two of them goofing off and doing that kiss-on-the-cheek pose college besties love so much, when they're clearly at some formal event where they should probably be acting much more stuffy:
Hey Barack, I'll always be your valentine! #HappyValentinesDay -mo pic.twitter.com/lEZdizGhSj FLOTUS (@FLOTUS) February 14, 2014

Parts one and two of the CMA exam are scored on a scale of 0-500. Candidates are given different "forms" of the exam, and it is necessary to establish a passing score for each form. This takes into consideration the relative difficulty of the questions contained in each form. In order to equate all scores for all forms of the exam, the scores for each part are placed along a scale from 0 to 500. On this scale, a score of 360 represents the minimum passing scaled score. The scaled score allows candidates to know how they performed in relation to the passing standard of 360.
On each part of the exam, there will be 100 multiple choice questions and two 30-minute essay questions. You will have 3 hours to complete the multiple choice section and one hour to complete the essays. The essays will be presented after you have completed the multiple choice section of the exam or after 3 hours, whichever comes first. Once you complete and exit the multiple choice section of the exam, you cannot go back. You must remain in the essay section to complete the exam.
Note: You MUST answer at least 50% of the multiple-choice questions correctly to be eligible to take the essay section.
The Transition Exam is scored on a scale of 200-700 with a passing score of 500.
Approximately six weeks from the end of the month in which you tested, ICMA will mail your exam results to you. Results for the Transition Exam will be mailed approximately six weeks after the close of the testing window. At the time grades are mailed, results are also available online in your Account Profile transcript. Requests for scores via e-mail or telephone cannot be honored.
Performance Reports for Parts 1 and 2 are sent via postal mail only to candidates who fail an exam part. Performance reports are mailed approximately 14 days after exam results are posted to the candidate's transcript. Performance reports show the candidate's performance as satisfactory, marginal, or unsatisfactory for each of the 5 key topic areas from the multiple choice section of the exam as well as the overall performance on the essay section of the exam.
Performance reports are not provided for the Transition Exam.
