Snohomish farmer says water district extorting him by shutting off water during negotiationon August 21, 2014 @ 5:27 pm (Updated: 3:21 pm - 8/25/14 )
Jay Hagen says their bill is all paid up, but they've been trying to negotiate with the utility over the cost of installing a new meter. The farm has two rental houses on the property that the district reportedly says should be on a separate meter.
"They want $11,178," says Hagen. "I know for a fact it's about $6,000 for the water meter."
Not willing to pay the $11,178 without understanding all the charges, he contacted Cross Valley Water District to see what the other $5,000 is for.
"They came back and said you're on a state highway, the state charges that," says Hagen, who says he then went to the state and asked why they were charging him $5,000. "They said, that's incorrect, we are only charging you a maximum of $250."
He went back to the water district to find out about the disparity. He told them he'd like to see an itemized explanation for the fee.
"They said it's for surveying, it's for engineering, it's for bonding, and some miscellaneous fees," says Hagen. "I said, well that's fine, explain to me, what is the surveying for? Who's doing it and how much? What is the engineering for? Who is doing it and how much? What are the miscellaneous fees for, how much? Why am I bonding? You're a water company, you should be bonded."
"How hard is it? He's asked for an explanation," says David Boze. "I would be asking some followup questions too."
Listen: David Boze's take
Following his request for further explanation, Hagen says he was just sent another $11,178 bill with no additional information. The dispute escalated when he says the utility shut off water to a portion of their property on Aug. 12.
Hagen says they currently have no water in their house and they're making due by taking showers in the barn, but 49 of their animals are without water from their normal source. "I'm hauling about six to eight five-gallon buckets a day."
He says regardless of the impact on him, he's not going to let the animals suffer as a result of this. "I might suffer, but my animals never will. It's going to be hard work for me."
He also worries about fire danger. They had a barn fire many years ago and he says it's a horrible thing that you never forget.
"Fire protection is probably the biggest concern I have," says Hagen. "If a fire was to start in the barn, I have no way to put it out."
Hagen says they're not sure when their water will be turned back on. They've asked for information about the water shutoff policy, but say they were told by the district that there is no policy. At this point, Hagen thinks they'll have to take it to court.
"Really what it is, is we're going to have to go to court and force them to turn the water on. That's the only option I guess we have because they don't have to negotiate. They manage through threats and intimidation and retaliation."

Topic Outline
Establishment of access to the circulation is a critical component of resuscitation. The preferred venous access site during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is the largest, most accessible vein that does not require the interruption of resuscitation. Peripheral venous access is attempted before attempting other forms of vascular access if peripheral veins can be readily seen or palpated. (See "Vascular (venous) access for pediatric resuscitation and other pediatric emergencies" and "Peripheral venous access in adults".)
Intraosseous infusion, a technique for vascular access, was described first in 1922 and was widely used for drug administration in children in the 1940s [1-6]. It fell out of favor during the 1950s and 1960s, when disposable intravenous catheters were developed and techniques for insertion improved. In the 1980s, after the publication of numerous clinical reports of its effective use in children and animal models [7-10], the practice of intraosseous infusion increased. Use in adults has also grown, especially in the prehospital setting [11,12]. Today, the procedure is reserved for acute, life-threatening or medically necessary situations when standard venous access methods cannot be rapidly achieved and as the first attempt at vascular access in cardiopulmonary arrest or severe shock.
Intraosseous (IO) infusion is possible because of the presence of veins that drain the medullary sinuses in the bone marrow of long bones (figure 1) [13]. These veins, supported by the bony matrix, do not collapse in patients with shock or hypovolemia. The major vessels into which the intramedullary veins drain depend upon the insertion site. The following list provides the site and draining vessels for the most commonly used sites:
The anterior inferior iliac spine, clavicle, and distal radius have also been used successfully for IO vascular access as have bones without medullary cavities, including the calcaneous and radial styloid [14-16].

Teaching children the value of money is more difficult in today's cashless culture where checking accounts, ATM cards and credit purchases are part of everyday life. How do parents show kids the impact of everyday purchases on the family budget?
According to an online poll of 556 parents by Parent Soup, one of the largest parenting sites on the Web and America OnLine, 58% feel that school-age children and teens should be part of the family budgeting process, 32% feel that parents should not share family financial information with their children.
Those who voted "no" explained that they feel there are better ways to teach kids about financial responsibility and were worried that children not take on additional concerns in already stressful lives. Others feel that real life is the best learning experience of all, and include their children in making family financial decisions.
Here's what people had to say:
• Why in the world would you put added stress on your children about the family budget? Our children have grown up knowing that sometimes we have to wait until payday for purchases. That's as much of the financial situation that they need to know as children. That is what school-kids are -- children.
- meritt (Web)
• My family was poor when we were growing up but we never felt like we were going to end up on the streets. We did hear, "that's too expensive," and we wore second-hand clothes. We always felt secure about having a roof over our head and having warm food in our belly. It is important to teach children the value of money, but it isn't necessary to include them in the family budget.

Lessons Year A (Complete)
Below you will find a complete list of all the (possible) lessons for Year A including holy days. Some lessons will not be applicable during the Year. For example, all the Lessons for Epiphany and the lowest numbered Propers for Pentecost are not always applicable. If a particular Sunday or Holy Day is not applicable for this year, you will see a date of 09/09/1999 in the date column. Otherwise the date in the date column should be the date that it appears in the current liturgical year. (There may be a some dates I have updated for the next liturgical year, such as updating Advent or Christmas dates, after they have passed for the current liturgical year.)
Note that the Revised Common Lectionary has two tracks during the Season of Pentecost. In prior years, we have use Track 1 that has been identified as "Alt 1" in the lessons from Proper 1 through Proper 29 below. In future years we may use the lessons in Track 2 identified with "Alt 2" in the lessons.
Please do not hesitate to inquire of a member of the clergy if you have any questions. Please also be sure to check the bulletin to ensure that your reading matches what is there.
As ever, thank you for your ministry.

When the preseason schedule was announced on Wednesday, what stood out the most was how the Chargers face three teams they'll also play in the regular season. That is nearly unheard of.
The last time the Bolts played the same opponent in the preseason and regular season came in 2010 against the San Francisco 49ers. Meanwhile, the last time the team played as many as three similar opponents was 12 years ago in 2002, when they squared off against all four NFC West teams twice.
This rarity was not lost on the Chargers when they first learned of the exhibition slate. According to
"I really think it is going to be helpful for later on in the regular season because we're going to be getting a little preview of them," he said. "Some guys you might not have ever played against, so you are getting an appetizer of what's to come. It's also great because sometimes in the preseason you face schemes that aren't what you'll face in the regular season. So to have three weeks of something we'll see during the regular season will be very helpful."
"This gives us a chance to know those guys a little bit better," he said. "It's just like when we play Denver, Kansas City and Oakland. This gives us more of a chance to study them and get ready for the next time we face them."
"I think especially if you know you are playing teams you'll see in the regular season, you aren't going to be showing much," he said. "It will be good to get a head start on their personnel though. That will be very helpful in terms of their strengths and weaknesses, but in terms of scheme I don't think they'll show too much."
"It's really weird," he said. "I guess we just roll with it. I don't have too much to really say about it besides how different it is. It's definitely weird to me, but we'll be ready and it will be good. It's kind of weird too to play in San Francisco twice. I'm looking forward to that for the brand new stadium. That's going to be pretty fun."

Four people have been killed and injured 13 in an explosion at a beer garden in Nigeria's capital Abuja, state television has reported.
The blast occurred in the Sani Abacha army barracks, a busy area where people meet to eat and shop.
The base includes market stalls and beer parlours referred to locally as a "mammy market".
A local police spokesperson said the blast occurred at 1830 GMT on Friday.
A witness said he was approaching the market to join New Year's Eve celebrations when he heard the explosion."People ran in different directions. There were scores of bodies - dead and wounded. They used army trucks to pack them away," Eric, who regularly uses the market, said.
Goodluck Jonathan, the Nigerian president, has said that a "faceless" group is responsible for the attack.
He has linked it to bombings on December 24 in the central city of Jos, which sparked a week of violence.At least 80 people were killed in ensuing violence between Christian and Muslim residents.Friday's attack came as police detained 92 suspected members of the Islamic Boko Haram group.
Debate over death toll
An anchor on the state-run Nigerian Television Authority gave a death toll of 30 to viewers Friday night.
But a local police spokesman immediately disputed the figure, saying four people had died and 13 were wounded.
Al Jazeera's Yvonne Ndege, reporting from Abuja, said the attack had struck people who had gathered for dinner and drinks to welcome the new year.
"When the explosion ripped through the market, as you can imagine, it sent people scattering," she said. "Now the question really is ... what could've motivated this attack, who could've been behind it".
The military have been "extremely guarded" in what information they have so far released about the attack.
While some point the finger at Boko Haram, others believe that the bombing may be connected to the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, which claims to be fighting for a Nigeria to have a greater share of its oil wealth, Ndege said.A police spokesman said on Friday that Boko Haram, which is thought to oppose Western education and culture, was behind the deaths of at least 16 people in three attacks this week in Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state. Nigeria was also rocked by car bomb attacks in Abuja in October, for which responsibility was claimed by a group opposing the government in the oil-producing Niger Delta, where there has been a recent resurgence in violence.

A clear and useable site for a website testing company. It\'s not essential for a site that is more functional (like this one) to be pretty, but it\'s still worth the effort. The colour palette is plain but works and it must be said that the layout and use of typeface is good.Posted in Web Design → Misc

Today's post looks at the latest opinion in a series of recent opinions that discuss splits in authority over appropriate standards of review (see here and here). Last Friday in United States v. Powers, the First Circuit addressed an intercircuit conflict involving the appropriate standard for reviewing a district court's refusal to give an "advice-of-counsel" jury instruction in a criminal case.
When a defendant's argument at trial boils down to, "My attorney advised me that it was okay to proceed, so I did.", a defendant may ask the court to give the jury such an instruction. When the court's response is "No.", should an appellate court review the lower court's determination de novo or apply an abuse-of-discretion standard? As the following paragraph from Powers demonstrates, it depends:
These same rules are used for the defense of good faith reliance on the advice of counsel. See United States v. Christopher, 142 F.3d 46, 55 (1st Cir. 1998). We review these determinations de novo. See United States v. Howard, 687 F.3d 13, 18 (1st Cir. 2012); United States v. Sánchez-Bérrios, 424 F.3d 65, 76 (1st Cir. 2005); Rodriguez, 858 F.2d at 812. This is different from the abuse of discretion standard in some other circuits. See, e.g., United States v. Bush, 626 F.3d 527, 538-39 (9th Cir. 2010). There is no claim the good-faith instruction was flawed.
You can read the full opinion here: United States v. Powers, Nos. 11-2295 & 11-2359 (1st Cir. Dec. 14, 2012).

Apple iPhone 3G UK's most recycled phone
And the winner is...
Gold, Silver and Bronze goes to Apple in the awards for the most recycled handsets according to a study by comparison website Sell My Mobile.
The study revealed that not only was the 8GB iPhone 3G the most recycled handset in the UK last month, but rounding out the top 3 were its 16GB 3G sibling and the 16GB iPhone 3Gs.
A possible cause of this mass Apple recycling, as well as the generous sums being offered by mobile recycling websites, is the users desire to upgrade to the very latest Apple handset, in this case, the recently released iPhone 4.
Despite the widely reported signal issues that plagued the launch of the iPhone 4 upon release at the end of June, issues that still continue to cause problems, the new Apple blower reportedly shifted 1.7 million units in the opening three days on sale.


text: UPnOVER Lost&Found The first Lost&Found course was run in South Africa in 2007. The course has proven efficacy in providing "support – motivation – equipping and directing" for our youth. Since then, we have added more courses to compliment the original Lost&Found (L&F) course. L&F has also amalgamated with UPnOVER Training (UnO). UnO focuses on developing and facilitating specialist programmes in education and schools. It does this by its value-offering to pupils, teachers and those involved in working with our youth.Experience in education, a sincere interest in the welfare of our youth, a passion to inspire the leaders of tomorrow and a broad range of partner organizations, both locally and internationally, enables UnO to develop a range of material and courses related to its fields of involvement. Youth support Experiences of personal loss are present in various forms and manifest in different ways. A large number of our youth are exposed to significant personal loss. The cruel realities of confronting these feelings more than once, is an emotionally disruptive experience for many. The Lost&Found course is specifically developed and adapted for the South African culture, with the help of our local and international partners, Lerato's Hope and This Way Up Youth Project (UK). The course looks at these very sensitive situations, and leads young people through a process that equips them to understand and handle these emotions better. By enabling them to deal with, and understand their own emotions, they are also enabled to provide support to friends and others around them who experience similar situations. Course-material is available in both English and Afrikaans, for teens aged 10-18. Because of the enormous need for emotional healing, we desire to greatly expand the program. For this, we need consultants who are trained and accredited as facilitators by UPnOVER. We are also adapting the course to address the needs of younger children and adults. Staff Training A school can only function optimally if its staff members are properly supported, their attributes acknowledged, and their personal and professional aspirations accommodated. Personal experience in teaching, a real working knowledge and interest in staff issues and dynamics provides the necessary background to look at the realities and needs of teachers from both inside and out the teaching situation. Teachers appreciate the understanding and empathy UNO has for their aspirations, challenges and frustrations. They experience our input as sincere, knowledgeable and unbiased. It is imperative that teachers are valued as both educators and leaders, and that the importance of self-leadership and the maintenance of a sound self-worth within the moral base and demands of the teaching profession, are (again) highlighted and communicated to them during this course. Although the course addresses some general issues, it can be adapted to address staff-needs that are specific to an organization or school. Current contents are compressed into a balanced core-presentation of 4 hours. Upon completion of the course, a summary of course results and a profile of the staff's requirements, fears, positive experiences, frustrations and aspirations, are compiled and submitted to the school management. The school's management team can utilise this information to guide them in addressing problem areas, as well as integrating staff aspirations and proficiencies into their strategy. Follow-up courses are suggested for continuity and evaluation, but not required. Other courses Complete seminars about self-leadership, history makers, youth leadership, peer mentoring, teamwork, stress handling etc can also be presented in existing or customised courses. UnO can also act as facilitator for other specialist courses or needs. UnO Members: Ettienne & Jenni Lombard, Mike Maritz - PO Box 14, Howard Place, 7450, South Africa

UCLA, Arizona among nation's best
Originally Published: May 17, 2012By Joel Francisco | ESPN RecruitingNation
Here's a team-by-team breakdown of the Pac-12's 2012 recruiting classes.
UCLA BruinsBen Howland's misfortunes on the recruiting trail have suddenly taken a revolutionary shift thanks to his hauling in the No. 1 recruiting class. It all starts with the No. 2 recruit in the country, 6-foot-5 small forward Shabazz Muhammad (Las Vegas/Bishop Gorman), who has the ability to be in the discussion for Pac-12 player of the year next season due to his scoring prowess. Next, Howland enticed No. 5 overall Kyle Anderson (Fairview, N.J./St. Anthony), the point forward type who dissects the defense with his precision passing. If anybody took in any of the Bruins' games last season, they were in dire need of a shooter, and they corralled one in smooth-shooting 6-5 guard Jordan Adams (Lawrenceville, Ga./Oak Hill Academy). Last, but certainly not least, Howland landed ultra-skilled 6-8 big man Tony Parker (Lithonia, GA./Miller Grove), who will put immediate pressure on current Bruins starter Josh Smith to perform at a higher level.
Arizona WildcatsSean Miller and his staff have scoped the entire country, and they have come up with a loaded class chock full of athleticism and skill. Miller and his Wildcats staff clawed their way to the likes of 6-9 power forward Grant Jerrett (La Verne, Calif./La Verne Lutheran), 6-8 power forward Brandon Ashley (Henderson, Nev./Findlay Prep), 7-0 center Kaleb Tarczewski (Claremont, N.H./St. Marks School) and 6-2 guard Gabe York (Orange, Calif./Orange Lutheran). Jerrett might turn out to be the best prospect out west due to his skill set inside and out, while Ashley is a diamond in the rough considering his length and blossoming skills. Meanwhile, Tarczewski is a much-improved 5-man who should provide a solid anchor in the paint area, while York can light up a score board from anywhere on the court. However, point guard is still a major issue going forward for a program noted for producing quality ones.

The Deal: AMR Resists Pondering Life Without US Air
NEW YORK ( The Deal) -- When AMR Corp. (AAMRQ) and its advisers regroup in a Manhattan courthouse on Thursday to push for the bankrupt airline's proposed merger with US Airways Group Inc. (LCC), they are likely to keep their thoughts close to the vest about what would happen to the parent of American Airlines if the deal was never consummated and it had to continue life post-Chapter 11 as an independent company.
In the wake of the U.S. Department of Justice filing a lawsuit against the merger on Aug. 13, Judge Sean Lane of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York at a confirmation hearing two days later asked the parties involved to come back on Aug. 29 to brief him on whether or not AMR's reorganization plan, which is centered on the merger, should proceed.
Don't expect AMR to back down and present any type of alternative to the court that would undermine the carrier's or its advisers' resolve in getting the $11 billion US Air deal done. Others, such as DOJ, will have to assert that AMR can survive outside of bankruptcy as an independent carrier, and that, perhaps, may soon be the key question. Will the nation's fourth-biggest airline still be able to fly on its own?
The Fort Worth carrier is certainly showing it can compete now. Just recently AMR announced a $357 million net profit, which was the "best second-quarter result in company history." It was a $262 million improvement over the same period last year.The DOJ's trial team, led by antitrust division litigation director Mark Ryan, jumped all over those results on Tuesday in a court filing it made that argues for starting the trial on DOJ's suit on March 3 instead of Nov. 12, which is what AMR wants. Government attorneys noted that AMR is capable of emerging from Chapter 11 in solid financial shape without being acquired. "American's restructuring efforts have been extraordinarily successful and have positioned the company to compete as a strong and vibrant standalone firm," the DOJ said in the filing. Both bankruptcy and the ability to endure outside it goes beyond a wonderful quarter -- or a few, for that matter. AMR still has to worry about working capital going forward as a legal fight with DOJ beckons. Its unions are now supportive of the merger, but it's uncertain if that would be the case if the deal fell through and AMR had to reorganize. Meanwhile, no creditor or shareholder activist right now is agitating to present an alternative plan to the merger, which creates a worrisome flipside -- are there any ideas out there about how AMR can stand on its own two feet if it had to?

We only stayed one night as we were heading back to the US. The location was great - right in downtown Zurich. Our room was on the top floor - angled ceilings, modern decor. Breakfast was included, I think. Staff was polite and very helpful. The only negative was the air conditioner was a unit built into the wall and was noisy when running.

In response to the "Your Call" about whether the stepfather whose stepdaughter told him in confidence that she was sexually active had an obligation to his wife to let her know, regular EMandLO.com commenter and Wise Guy Figleaf offered up some advice that confirms he's one of the most thoughtful, reasonable and helpful people around these here parts. (Btw, Ape's answer the day before Figleaf's was spot-on, in our opinion, but Figleaf's just took it that extra mile to secure the "comment of the week" spot):
While every former-peer-counselor and privacy-respecting bone in my body says don't share something you've been told in confidence, and while I agree strongly with Ape that if you're her parent and you're parenting in good faith that should be sufficient, the problem is that you're not just a parent, you're a partner.
If your partner views you withholding that information as a relationship deal-breaker then you face the loss not only of contact with your partner but also of contact with her daughter, given that it's almost inconceivable that she wouldn't follow her mother should her mother leave you.
I don't and probably can't know your family's details — how long you've been a parent to your step-daughter, how "proprietary" your partner is about her, what your partner's relationship with her daughter is, etc. Â So there could be exceptional circumstances here…
But here's what I'm going to strongly recommend.
First, urge your step-daughter to tell her mom. Â Offer to be supportive. Â Offer to "war-game" it with her. Â Offer your perspective on your partner's likely reaction. Â Determine if she feels she has real cause for fear or if she's just working on ordinary teen embarrassment. Â I mean think about it, if your partner's got any kind of perspective at all then she, like a lot of "blustery" parents, is unlikely to flip out, send her daughter to a convent, and so on because she's become sexual.
Second, if the first thing just isn't going to go, then it's time to have a conversation with your partner about her and your boundaries about her daughter. Â See if you can get a realistic assessment of her level of trust in you. Â Because as Ape says she really might be fine with your authentic parenting decision. Â On the other hand, if she's not then it's going to be a hard choice, and you might have to work very hard on the in-family diplomacy, but you really do have an obligation to let your partner know.
One last thing. Â There's a phenomenon in a lot of families where one parent or the other will be dominating to the point that his or her partner becomes effectively a co-sibling or other kind of ally with the children. Â One consequence of that dynamic is that it becomes extremely easy to share secrets and otherwise sort of passive/aggressively undermine the other parent's authority. Â Considerable evidence (including direct observation on my part) suggests this almost never turns out well in the end. Â It's tempting, it's easy, but it's also dangerous and lazy. Â I've already said I don't know your family dynamics so I'm not accusing you of participating in this dynamic at all. Â But! Â If you feel that might be happening (and you don't always notice at first) then there's a responsibility to one's partner, one's self, and most importantly one's family to "man up," or "woman up" and re-open those closed power/communication channels. Â Again, the alternative is that things generally don't end well.

Much of the debate surrounding a European global strategy centres on the external threats that Europe must address to preserve peace, stability and well-being across the continent. Discussions inevitably focus on the identification of interests and priorities -and the question over whether the EU has the necessary instruments, and its leaders the political will necessary to effectively pursue Europe's strategic interests.

Search Committee Narrowing Down Applicant Pool for Football Coach
CLARKSDALE Members of Coahoma Community Colleges search committee tasked with hiring CCCs next football coach spent the majority of Thursday morning sifting through 30-plus applications from those interested in being the next to lead the Tigers program.
Earlier in December, Coahoma President Dr. Valmadge Towner announced that former Mississippi Valley State Coach Charles K. Barron, Sr., would lead the search committee after Coach Freeman Horton announced the he would be retiring from the position Dec. 31st.
Barron is currently serving as Conservator for the Sunflower County School District but has strong ties to Coahoma that include serving as football coach at Coahoma Agricultural High School and also doubling as coach at Coahoma Junior College when it reinstituted the football program in 1975. He completed his student teaching at Aggie in 1969 and served as football coach from 1970-76 he was also the boys and girls track coach.
Also selected to serve on the search committee were Clarksdale Mayor and Attorney Bill Luckett, County Supervisor Timothy Burrel, Vice President of Coahoma Community Colleges Alumni Association and Coahoma County Athletic Director Robert Giles, Assistant Athletic Director and Trainer at CCC Selina Reid, and Coahoma Math Instructor Luke Howard.
The committee has narrowed the group of applicants, and will be extending invitations for interviews as early as next week. A new coach is expected to be announced before the end of January.
We want to hire a consummate communicator with a deep character who can come here to Coahoma and create a sense of team, Towner told the committee. We are looking for an educated leader of young men that has a record of consistency, a positive outlook and a drive to help our program succeed.
With National College Football Signing Day scheduled for February 5, the committee will be putting in some long hours to ensure that a thorough search and evaluation of applicants is completed expeditiously.
The committee will communicate electronically in the coming days as each individual member will personally grade each remaining applicant on an agreed upon group of metrics. Those cumulative scores will be used to determine those invited to continue with the interview process.

New male nursing student - page 2
Hello everyone, I just signed up here because I am starting a LPN program at my local career technology center. I was just accepted last week and classes start in December. I absolutely cannot wait, I've been waiting for this for... Read More
- 0Nov 2, '12 by questioningRN(PAT)
I personally thought the Incredibly Easy books would make harder to understand topics easier, but found they left out a lot of info, just my experience. I used one of there books to study for NCLEX and ended up buying another bc it skipped stuff I felt.... Something I found really usful as a new grad (since you will be graduating in a few months- congrats, its a long road, but you did it! I dont know where you live but we have ONE Barnes and Noble in the whole state, but one day when I went in, I saw these little "pocket" books that where quick referance guides to common s/s, p/a, pharm, disease, how to write notes (which came in handy, I have been subpenoed twice for past patients- not my misdoings, but on the MD part.... I look back and thank God I used the note guide bc when you have to recall a patient from 5-6 years prior, they start to blur!
I agree with what you said about what kind of learner... I have severe ADD, and as you probably know, people with ADD cannot get out of their own way sometimes But identifying this as an issue, I bought a book that outlined how to attend college with ADD, and the tips where all excellent. One big one for me is sitting through lectures over 45 minutes-1 hr or longer, my mind just started to spin... So I take back what I said about not taping lectures, bc I remember that I did for a few classes (Micro, Patho 1 and 2, M/S) and I would relisten to the lecture slowlly, like break it up into 4 fifteen minute blocks, and review my notes, look up terms I was unsure of etc.... and I swear I went from being someone who misplaces their own to-do book, planner, organizer etc... to having a really easier time understanding and retaining info... I know we are different learners, and not everyone has ADD, but this method of reviewing and studying would really work for anyone, we all have a shut off point, so the breif stints worked really well.
OMG, I do sorta disagree but not really with one thing... I certainly got to know everyone, one male student out of a class of 120, something tells me that every other student knew there was something different about me But, on the advice of another nursing student, I made fast friends with two other students who I identified as having some stuff in common, and the three of of stuck together through the entire 4 years like glue, not letting the other fail, forget, you know what I mean... It paid off, bc we ranked 1, 2 and 4 in the class at graduation, at pinning they called us onto stage to point this out (me an ADD student was Salutorian) I would have been happy passing!
Lastly, have you been offered any scholarship or grant money for being a male in nursing, HRSA is handing out all of this money, but I have yet to hear of someone actually benefiting from it, schools are getting like 700k, 900k, 2 mil to increase diversity.... I am working on DNP now and when I was not singled out, I was shocked (tri-racial, gay, single father, RN, work in rural, Ashkenazi Jewish decent, entering a high need speciatly--- If you read the criteria, it reads like what I just wrote.... just curious)
- 1Nov 2, '12 by PatMac10,RNI agree that the incredibly easy books leave out something's. I bought them with the intention that they could give me the "meat and potatoes" of hard concepts. As far as that's concerned the book has more than served it's purpose. The incredibly easy books work well, I think, if you use them to get a general overview of an issue and then use your text book and lecture to fill in the gaps. I purchased the Mosby's PDQ for the RN (a pocket size reference book) I agree that it is helpful, especially during my first semester with lab and assessment pieces. @Kacsper: As of now, I have not received and "diversity" money or scholarships. Lolz! I wish I did!
- 0Nov 3, '12 by questioningRNDude, where you aware of this scholarship stuff, I just found out about it so it is sorta rocking the boat for me... you should look it up, at your school... Id question why you where not given any preference for the funds, since it specifically states diversity : bla bla bla reasons, MALES, and your a dude so, that makes you eligible....
And ditto, I agree with you "meat and potatoes" actually, the way you described how you use them, is how I did it too... I just felt they left out details, but your right, "meat and potatoes"!

There are also some fantastic ideas in the 12 - 24 months forum:
Below is a list of Toddler Activities compiled by our members.
1. COOKING CLASS ? Fill several small plastic bowls with small amounts of different cereals, dried fruit, chocolate chips, pretzel pieces, etc. and put them on the kitchen table. Then set out some plastic measuring cups, wooden spoons, big plastic mixing bowls, and measuring spoons and set them to work at the table.
2. BAKE MUFFINS ? Let them stir and add the ingredients
3. BATH TIME - An extra bath can keep them amused and fill in time.
4. PLAY DOUGH - usually on a plastic mat on the kitchen floor whilst I'm cooking
5. DRESS UPS ? fun for boys and girls
6. TEA PARTY - in an indoor tent or under a blanket propped up over some chairs.
7. MUSIC - I have a container just for musical instruments. I put on a cd and DD and I go for it.
8. CHALK - Chunky chalk and let them draw all over the cement on the back
patio or driveway. It hoses off really easily and actually hosing it off becomes
another game in itself
9. PAINTING - the outside house wall or cement with a paint brush and water
(you can also add food colouring)
10. FINGER PAINTING (mummy has to be in the mood lol)
11. CHORES - Making a game out of household chores. DS pushes the vacuum
cleaner and checking the mail has become a big event!
12. CHALK - Drawing on the chalk board easel
Decide what you are having for dinner and let them go shopping for the items in the pantry. Give them a small cloth shopping bag, they can then all of there shopping on the counter ready for cooking dinner.
14) MAGAZINES - Make collages with pictures from magazines. Mummy does the
cutting out, toddler does the sticking on.
15) CLOTHES SORT - when folding the washing ask them to sort the washing into
piles with you. Mummies, Daddies and theirs
You could also sort the different types of clothing eg underwear/pajamas/shorts/shirts or where the clothing belongs draws/hanging and help to put it away.
16) WATER THE GARDEN - give your child a plastic watering can and fill it up with
water and let them "water the plants" or whatever else their little heart
17) WATER PISTOL - A big water pistol and let them loose outside
18) PHOTO ALBUM - Make up a photo album of extra photos that your toddler
can look through - especially ones of family and friends.
19) KITCHEN - give them a couple of small bowls - one with water in. Let them
pour the water from one bowl to another.
21) SORTING - recycling into piles of similar things. (But make sure there aren't
any sharp things in there before you set your toddler to work).
22.) COLOR MATCHING GAMES - Find several small objects of different colors,
and show your toddler how to sort them by color.
23.) CLEANING - Put 'Em To Work! Give them a cloth and let them do the
cleaning. Wipe the fridge, the cupboard doors, the dishwasher etc.
26. DISHWASHER - Unstack the dishwasher. Obviously supervised
27) DOG - Feed the dog a treat
28) SWEEPING ? Give them a broom and let them sweep the patio or garage
29) SHAVING CREAM - Spread shaving cream on the table and let kids 'finger
paint' and make patterns..heaps of fun?food colouring
30)STRING PAINTING - (dip string in paint, drag over paper) - can also stick onto
paper when finished
31) 'NATURE HUNT' - collect bark, small twigs, seed pods etc ... make a collage out of the things you find.
32) TREASURE HUNT - in the back yard...hide items according to child?s
observational abilities.
34) WINDOW WATCHING - Watch out of the window and have a chat about what
you see.
35) WALK to the shops or a park. Toddler gets to look at birds, animals, plants,
houses, passing traffic. Mum gets exercise...
36) PAIRS - Play matching pairs with practically anything!
37) FRIENDS - Make friends with the neighbour's children
38) LIBRARY - Get 10 books. Get some board books and some paper books. Read
them throughout the week.
39) MAKEUP - Have an "empty set" of makeup etc. DS copies me putting
deodorant on, brushing my hair etc when I'm getting ready in the morning.
40) TRUCKS - Pile of toddler-hand-sized pebbles (e.g. the kind you get at a
garden store) + toy tip-truck = many minutes of fun filling truck with
pebbles, pulling it around, emptying out stones (good exercise in teaching
not to throw/eat stones & requires fairly close supervision)
41) BOX CUBBY HOUSE - House made out of large cardboard box (e.g. fridge/washing machine box) - make holes for door/windows, tape on some scrap fabric for curtains and make a couple of peepholes - great for playing peekaboo with mum/dad and for entertaining dolls & teddy bears. Toddler can also decorate outside of house with crayons/textas/paint.
42) KITCHEN CUPBOARD - The Plastic Cupboard in the kitchen - Lots of fun
taking everything out and (sometimes) putting everything back & playing mix
& match with plastic containers & lids.
43) WASH THE DOGS ? Great on a hot day and it is another job done.
44) INDOOR CUBBY HOUSE - with sheets & chairs then put a picnic rug & some
pillows in there. We sometimes even have lunch & a story in the cubby
house, and then have lots of fun jumping into the middle of the sheets to pull
it down.
45) JELL-O BRICKS ? Make jelly together
46) SCAVENGER HUNT I made a list (with pictures) of things we had to find on a
walk (e.g., a rock, a stick, a leaf) give them a little bag or basket to collect
47) FRIDGE MAGNETS Buy lots of different ones and/or the alphabet ones and
put them at toddler height. Great entertainment whilst you are cooking or washing up.
48) ROLL OF PAPER - Roll of cheap greaseproof paper is a good one. Buy a cheap roll and let them play by rolling it up and out.
49. STICKERS - those sheets of metallic stickers that you find along random supermarket aisles are good because they are easy to peel off things. Stick a couple on each
50. TEACH SONGS with hand movements like twinkle twinkle little star, itsy bitsy spider, and I'm a little teapot
51. PLAYING CARDS - Give them a deck of playing cards or old trading cards - they bend them up and make a mess but have fun playing and looking at the pictures.
54. SAUSAGE SIZZLE - We often take some snags and bread and sauce to the park. Nothing fancy - and most parks seem to have BBQ's.
55. FLASH CARDS - Make your own number flash cards or print some off the net and stick them onto cardboard after colouring them in. We play with them at the table after a meal and I deal them out and we play snap etc. Or I arrange them in order on the floor and they use them as stepping stones while we count out loud.
56. WASHING - Help with hanging out the washing ? They can pass and count the
pegs as you go.
57. DRAWING - Cheap butchers paper and let them draw away
58. PICNIC LUNCH - Just gather up food, drinks, kids and a quilt and head for the great outdoors (backyard is good or meeting daddy for lunch in the park in town is better) It's also a great opportunity to practice drinking with a real cup.
59. TRACING - Another good use for butchers paper is to trace around the child laying on the floor, then let them decorate/draw in eyes etc themselves!! You can use wool for hair, fabric for clothes, or just crayons or pencils...depending on time/mess factors
60) STORY TIME - Find out if your local library holds a "Story Time" for pre-schoolers (ages 0-4). The children's librarian reads the children a selection of books and this is followed by a craft activity. The best thing about story time at the Library is that it's FREE!
61) MAKE A CHALK BOARD from Ply wood, chalkboard paint, paint brush and some sticky numbers. Painted it with two coats and let it dry.
62) COLOURING - Crayons and a well defined colouring book
63) WINDOW PAINTING - Shaving cream paining on the windows, just hose off when done and no major mess! Just smelly kids!
64) PICK UP THE PEGS - When take off the washing drop the pegs on the floor and get child to pick them up and put them in a bucket.
65) COOKING - Sit them on the bench away from 'sharps' and let them see and smell what you're doing.
66) MUSIC - have a special cupboard and sometimes fill them up with rice, sand etc
67) BATH TIME - Sit in the bath with them, sing songs and play with the water. Easy hour filler and so relaxing!
68) SHAPES - Learn shapes with rubber bands, let them sort and explore
69) ART - Make faces and objects with paper plates, use crayons, cotton wool, anything around the house
70) PRETEND COOKING ? Give them a saucepan and a big spoon to make me a "ake"! Then thy can pretend to feed it to you.
71) PRETEND SHOPPING - at home with a little trolley and groceries
72) CREATE - Have a spare box in the kitchen to collect anything that could be used to build anything. Give child the box of goodies when sufficient and have glue and let them create.
74) FRIDGE PHONICS by leapfrog. Ask them to find something beginning with a certain letter. Start with the letters in their own name. A great distraction
75) FEELY BOX - where you can put favourite toys or whatever your imagination allows. Encourage your child to tell you what is in the box by feeling it. Demonstrate to them by using lots of describing words. Great one to build their vocabulary too, as well as heightening their other senses.
76) GUESS THE FOOD - Children close their eyes and put some food samples in their mouths. Can they guess what it is?
77) PHOTO?S - looking through photo albums with pictures of herself and other family members.
78) ROLLER PAINTING - Fill empty roll on deoderant bottles with paint and let them roll some pictures (I'm still saving up the bottles)
79. BEANBAGS - are really useful for lots of games - we throw them through or into a hula hoop and balance them on our feet and they also make good pillows for soft toys and dolls.
80) JIGSAW PUZZLES - they come in all different levels for all ages and can be bought second hand as well as new!
81) SHAPES - Cut a hole in the lid of an icecream container. Fill the container full of pegs or bits and pieces and watch them amuse themselves for ages..putting things in and out of it.
82) RICE?SAND PIT? - If you hate sand going everywhere, why not try rice. i buy massive bags of rice and put it in a 'shell'. The kids can still use all of the sand toys in the rice and you don't get sand through the house.
83) BALLOONS - Hang balloons from the clothes line. Make 'bats' out of a clothes wire hanger and a stocking. Stretch the hanger from the bottom to make a kind of diamond shape. Slip a stocking over the the bottom and fasten at the 'neck' of the hanger. The kiddies love this as they get to bash away at the balloons without them bursting.
85) WATER - anything with water in it.
86) CHRISTMAS CHAINS - Remember we use to do them in school. Cut out strips of paper and staple or tape them together to make a chain.
87) TRANSPORT - Go for a ride on a train, tram or bus
88) BAG POTATOES -a 2kg bag of baby new potatoes can entertain for days. Put them in (and out and in etc) muffin tins and roasting tins, flung them around the living room, "cooked" them, did the 'hot potato' etc.
89) "PLAYGROUND CRAWL" - look in the UBD or on your council's website for the local playgrounds and parks and "discover" them one by one.
90) VISIT THE ZOO - buy a zoo pass and go to Taronga Zoo to visit the animals - elephants one week, giraffes the next etc.
91) GARDENING - let your toddler help you replant or get rid of weeds, water the garden, etc.
92) AEROPLANES - cut out aeroplane shapes from cardboard and make an aeroplane mobile - invovles painting, glitter and fuzzy things to stick on. Dont forget to draw in the pilot.
93) MILESTONES - Check the "what to expect" for toddlers and find out what he should be able to do, but doesn?;t. Teach him how to do it, eg. jumping, walking on a beam, etc.
94) SIMON SAYS - practice turn taking with "Simon says"
95) CLAPPING GAMES play hand slapping games with songs (make them simple)
96) BOX PLAY- decorate a large cardboard box, lay down a blue towel for a river, then sit in the box on the river and play "row row row your boat". Dont forget to point out the Crocodiles and Platypuses.
97) STICKERS - sticker books are excellent fun - watch your toddler pull all the stickers out and decorate their own scrap book (or themselves)
98) TEMPORARY TATTOOS-. Decorate their arm with a Shrek tattoo - endless entertainment.
99) TRAMPOLINE - The whole family can have fun!
100) SOCCER - make objects into goals or set obstacle courses and kick the ball around.
101) FRISBIES - Need I say more.
102) OBSTACLE COURSES - you can set these up also without the soccerball. Something to jump over, crawl under, climb through etc. Outdoor furniture can be useful.
105) FINGER PAINTING - Jelly and instant pudding make great finger painting stuff! Doesn't matter if they eat it and it washes out
106) SPRAY PAINTING ? Use a white sheet for spray painting. Have spray packs with food colouring and water for the kids to spray the sheet. Ends up looking like tie dying - but washes out so you can use the sheet over and over again!
107) Drawing
108) Reading
109) Walking/Tricycle
110) Cooking
111) Play with Train Set
112) Cubby in the loungeroom
113) Dancing and singing
114) Help with chores
115) Pots and pans and a wooden spoon to bang them with
116) Collage - - using old junk materials, such as cereal boxes, etc. You can also get cheap materials to glue on from cheap shops, such as foam shapes, feathers, paddle pop sticks etc. We offer the kids, access to glue and sticky tape, their imaginations at this activity is just extraordinary. Nature collage- find things in your own backyard, environment to glue make things
117) Music games - they love musical statues, chairs.
118) Magic paintings - draw on white paper with a candle, then Paint over with water colours and see your picture emerge! Its like magic
119) Role play activities - dressing up, acting out fairy tales
120) Make fairy wings, different costumes, masks with art materials
121) Obstacle course using your furniture - arrange furniture in such a way that encourages physical development. eg. crawling under a table, climbing over chairs, stepping on cushions etc.
122) BALLOONS..... blowing them up, kicking them, batting them, painting faces on them.
123) Gluing
124) Planting a flower or herb or vege garden
125) Potato Stamping
126) Mini vege garden in pots
127) Seed growing etc on cottonwool/in jars
128) Our day carer has a white sheet that she uses for spray painting. She has spray packs with food colouring and water for the kids to spray the sheet. Ends up looking like tye dying - but washes out so you can use the sheet over and over again
129) Jelly and instant pudding make great finger painting stuff! Doesn't matter if they eat it and it washes out
130) Get an empty nappy box, cut a hole in the side of it, so its like a letterbox, and post anything and everything that will fit.
131) Buy some cheap brightly colored construction paper (not sure if you call it that in Oz, but it's just bright paper used for making all sorts of crafts). Take a small pile of the paper and cut out little squares, rectangles, circles, ovals, hearts, etc. Put all of the little shapes in a bowl with a lid. Let your toddler pick shapes from the bowl and then help him/her paste them onto another sheet of paper for an instant collage. Then let your toddler embellish the collage with crayon drawings -- instant masterpiece!
132) Feeding the native birds, I buy a weekly bag of seed for the native parrots, cockatoos, pigeons and my daughter puts out the seed and loves watching them feed, she also helps fill the bird bath.

Hi guys! I'm new here as you all can see! I have 3 kids aged 4, 7 and 10 and they seem to love their Ipad! Actually it's my ipad lol, but I didnt have anything better to do with it so I downloaded a few educational games for them and now they're stuck to it! Sigh, so much for teaching them crafty stuff!
Posted 03 July 2013 - 04:08 PM
So I found another game for kids! It's called Animal Wiz (https://itunes.apple...d603843703?mt=8) and its quite educational I felt. Well you you, to teach kids all these different animal sounds and it was really quite shocking when my 4 year old daughter recognized the sound of an owl on her SECOND try!! Even I did not what an owl sounded like, tbh. Anyway, just wanted to tell you all that it's a great game Animal Wiz, and highly recommend it to all parents with kids in the kindergarten age
