Sick Leave or a Sick Worker?
Find a Conversation
|Tue, 01-22-2013 - 4:27pm
The flu season has brought about the debate on who should qualify for paid sick leave. I'm probably not the only mom here who has debated on whether her child (or herself) was too sick to go to daycare or school, and for some people it can really hurt their paycheck if they lose hours due to illness.
A school speech therapist who works as an independent contractor, she doesn't have paid sick days. So the mother of two reported to work and hoped for the best - and was aching, shivering and coughing by the end of the day. She stayed home the next day, then loaded up on medicine and returned to work.
"It's a balancing act" between physical health and financial well-being, she said.

The opposite side of the debate is that employers just can't take on any more cost, but they also don't want a sick employee to show up for work and infect their co-workers or the general public.
Do you think it's feasible to implement a paid sick leave provision for workers?

Here's a scenario about sick days where I'm from. Several years ago I was working as a CNA at a retirement home. I had no health insurance because I couldn't afford it, nor was it offered to me. I came down with a bone chilling fever and vomiting. I called in sick and was told I would be written up and reprimended if I didn't have a Doctor's note. I made less than sixty dollars per day. jJust going to the Dr. would've cost me over that. Needless to say I received a write up with a warning that if I missed more than three days I would be terminated. We need sick days and crap likej this to cease.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Hi everyone!! Introducing myself :) Growing a big family.... questions on how to make it work.
Find a Conversation
|Tue, 11-13-2012 - 9:42am
Hi! I'm Meagan, stay at home Mom to 3 kids, 2 dogs, and a 19 year old "adopted" sweetheart brother in law who has lived with us since his Mom passed away 4 years ago. My kids are Nathan(8), Mackenzie (4), and Presley (18 months). I want nothing more than a even bigger family... The love we have in this house in incredible. The kids love each other so much and are best buds (for now at least ;) and we are just so happy. I was an only child and have always wanted a big family. We are about to buy a bigger home with enough space for our family plus more. I can't wait to move, it's about killing me. We live very far away from my husband's work, grocery stores, family, friends, and the kids extracurricular activities that it is making our lives way more difficult than necessary.
My son, Nathan, is in Hockey which is very expensive and takes a lot of time. He loves it and so do my "big boys", my DH and BIL who are from Canada and played very competitive hockey all their lives. My daughter, Mackenzie, is in ballet and is truly wonderful at it. We are thinking about theatre classes as well because she is very animated, theatrical, and rarely changes out of dress up clothes.
We are young and still have lots of time for baby making. My husband has become a very successful businessman who is growing a company that will set us up for life.... we are just not quite there yet.
We feed our children very healthy, my son has a lot of food allergies which have been a blessing, teaching us so much about what it means to truly eat healthy. I cook everything from scratch and love feeding my family nutritious meals. They have been "brainwashed" into knowing how bad fast food and other unhealthy things are. I love feeding my family healthy, but it can be very expensive.
I would love any advice on how to afford a big family, still allowing them to be involved in activities and without missing out on anything.
I am VERY impatient about having another baby, even though I know waiting a year would be best. We love the age difference with our kids and how it allows us to enjoy them, give them personal attention, and spread out the different costs and activities. I have started homeschooling for pre-school and have found it to be way better for them as far as education goes. Even still, I'm having the hardest time waiting to have another baby! It's all I can think about.
Happy to find this board and would love any advice or experiences from you ladies!

Corkcicle Classic:
Material: BPA free plastic, freeze gel
Brand: Corkcicle
Forget ice buckets or unwieldy wine sleeves; the Corkcicle, an utterly innovative plastic "icicle," chills wine from the inside. Bring one of these wine chillers (along with a bottle) to parties as a perfect host gift, and keep some on-hand at home -- the Corkcicle keeps white wines perfectly chilled and cools reds to room temperature. Inventor, founder and wine lover Ben Hewitt tinkered in his garage until he found the perfect wine chilling solution, and in 2010 the Corkcicle was unleashed upon the world, which greeted it with open arms. There's now a Corkcicle for beer, too, if hops are more your thing: the Chillsner, a smaller version of the wine-sized model, has to be seen to be believed. If you don't believe us, consider this: Oprah picked the Corkcicle as one of her favorite things in 2012!

For Immediate Release
Date: 04/03/13
AUGUSTA - In a 10-3 vote, the Legislature's Judiciary Committee endorsed LD 345, a bill introduced by Rep. Corey Wilson (R-Augusta) to make private the personal identifying information of concealed handgun permit holders in Maine. The bill will now go to the House and Senate for floor votes.
"I'm very pleased that the committee approved a bill that's true to the original intent of my legislation," said Wilson. "I felt strongly that, by default, no Mainer should have to worry about his or her concealed handgun permit becoming public knowledge."
Rep. Jarrod Crockett (R-Bethel), House Republican Lead on the Judiciary Committee, added that the vote gained a solid consensus of committee members. "After a long series of hearings and meetings to craft an amended bill, we're all happy that the final vote shows strong, bipartisan support for it," he said.
The majority report of the committee is an "Ought to Pass" report on Wilson's LD 345 as amended by Sen. Linda Valentino (D-Saco), the committee's senate chair. The Valentino amendment allows for the disclosure of aggregate data, including the number of permits applied for, approved, denied, and revoked by an issuing authority, as well as dates of permit issuance and expiration.
Wilson and Crockett say that the concerns of public disclosure advocates will be assuaged by the amended bill because it allows for the release of some non-identifying aggregate data that was previously confidential.
"As evidenced by the entire House Republican caucus co-sponsoring Wilson's bill, Republicans are taking a stand for personal privacy and against the suppression of our right to bear arms that comes when the government shares this information," said House Republican Leader Ken Fredette (R-Newport).
The amendment submitted by Rep. Charles Priest (D-Brunswick), which is the minority report, would have kept the personal identifying information of concealed handgun permit holders open for all to see, and would have come with a significant fiscal note which would likely have resulted in the bill failing altogether. Rep. Kim Monaghan-Derrig (D-Cape Elizabeth) and Matthew Moonen (D-Portland) joined Priest in voting for the minority report.

Average Customer Rating:
(6 out of 10)
I usually like to wear these higher as a sweater instead of a dress. However, the bottom portion tends to bundle up and unless it is at the waist droops down easily. But as a dress, very nice and flattering with heels.

Create magical moments with these inspired ideas and feel-good products.
The Story of My Family: From 1 to 5
With the New Year here it always a great time to reflect. I was thinking about how my family has gone from 1 to 5 in a short amount of time (7 if you count our furry babies) and what an amazing journey it has been. I have wanted to be a mama for as long as I can remember and becoming a mom has truly given me purpose and happiness that I never knew was possible. These are the people that make me tick! It's nice to meet you!
from 1 to 5
we meet.
At 22 years old, I met my husband. The man of my dreams and my best friend. We see life the same way.
June 16
We got married on June 16 and it was magical!
journey begins
Our journey begins! Can you see the happiness in my smile? True Bliss.
2 dogs
As newlyweds we added another pup to the family! Chris had Macy while we were dating so once we tied the knot, we added little Ellie!
A Little Artsy
We opened up our art studio for kids, A Little Artsy!
We found out that we were expecting our first child! The one who would make us parents. I was glowing. We found out it was a little boy and we were thrilled! Already so many dreams for this little one.
March 22
On March 22 we had our little Aiden. He came at 36 weeks and had a short NICU stay. My heart experienced for the first time what being a mom felt like. It's something that can't be described. It's beautiful.
At first we took him with us to the studio daily. It was lovely having my little heartbeat by my side daily. Then after a few months I decided to work from home and let teachers take over my position at our studio!
first Christmas
We had our first Christmas as parents! (Don't worry he isn't really hanging there — thank you Photoshop!)
a big brother
Aiden was going to be a big brother! We were thrilled! They would be 18 months apart and the daydreams began!
road trip
We took our first and last road trip as a family of three! We drove from Texas to Florida and Aiden did fabulous.
it's a girl!
We found out we were having a sweet baby girl and decided to name her Ainsleigh Kate!
baby shower
A few weeks before Ainsleigh's arrival my dearest friends and family gave me a baby shower!
she is coming
The day before I went into labor, my husband took this picture!
a family of 4
Our sweet girl arrived and we became a family of four! She was such a sweet bundle! A true treasure to be celebrated.
early bird
Ainsleigh also came at 36 weeks and was also in the NICU for a short time before she came home.
Ainsleigh's first Christmas
We celebrated Ainsleigh's first Christmas! It was double the fun with two of them around now!!
Our sweet Aiden was a "fish" for the summer! We lived at the pool and in the local fountains! Texas is HOT in the summer and so staying cool in the water is a must!
playtime at the park
Ainsleigh was growing so much and absolutely fell in love with walking down to the park to play and feed the ducks!
little beauty
It was so fun to see the difference in Aiden and Ainsleigh. The difference in little boys and little girls. We love to embrace their differences!
I turned 28 and had a year ahead filled with love!!!
My little guy started to grow and change so much! He was changing from a baby to a big boy before my very eyes!
We went as a family to California for two months (for my husband's work) and I found out that I was expecting another little one!! We were thrilled!
Another girl! Sisters! We couldn't have been more excited!
ready to juggle 3
As Aiden and Ainsleigh got older, I felt more and more confident that I could juggle three little ones!
big girl
Sweet Ainsleigh also started to transform before my eyes! A little baby to such a big girl. It's truly beautiful to watch your little ones grow and change.
Our sweet Apple was born. Three kids, three and under. Constant fun and love!
And here we are today! A family of five (or seven)! Happy as can be!

How to Do the Yoga-with-Weights Side Bow Exercise
The Side Bow is an excellent yoga-with-weights exercise for people with unstable hips and pelvises — especially women — because it loosens and relaxes the front of your body, your hips, and your pelvis and stabilizes and strengthens those areas as well. The exercise also stretches your spine and works your quadriceps, buttocks, and abdominal muscles.
Lie on your right side with your legs extended, resting on your right forearm for support.
Bend your left knee to a 45-degree angle, with your foot behind your buttocks.
This is the starting position. Keep your hips squared; don't shrug your shoulders or let your upper shoulder roll forward. Make sure your right hand stays on the floor for support.
Exhaling to a count of four, press your left foot away from your body in a slow-motion donkey kick.
Push backward as hard as you can with your thigh and hip, not your knee. Feel your leg muscles working as you move.
If you have too much trouble pushing, try doing this exercise without ankle weights.
Inhaling to a count of four, return to the starting position.
To get a good stretch when you're finished with the exercise, reach back and grasp the leg you just worked out with your hand. This stretches out your back and the quadriceps muscles of your leg.
Repeat this exercise six to eight times with each leg, take a rest, and then do six to eight more repetitions with each leg.
A class that takes the moves of a kickboxer's training and choreographs them to music.

I migrated with my family about a year ago down under. In my country of birth, my hobby was making chocolates so I did a 2-year course to become a certified chocolatier. Here I would like to make chocolates my profession. I would like to start with selling my chocolates on a local market. I am thinking of using a bar fridge on the market to display my boxes. I am going to pre pack the chocolates at home so there will be no lose chocolates in the fridge. I know that chocolates are best stored between 10c and 18c with a humidity of 50%. I would like to know if I use a little bar-fridge and have the thermostat altered to 18c how this would work. There is no humidity control in the fridge and summers can be really hot here ! On the other hand, we have a dry climate. That brings me to my second question. With the knowledge that chocolate melts at 36c... With summer days up to and over 40c Chocolates will be melted before people get home ! Can anyone advise me on the use of polyfoam as a packing material ? Thanks for your advise !

The Pleasures of Winter: Walking on Water
Notwithstanding the mild winter, ice has formed on a nearby beaver pond, and I'm itching to strap on my Yaktrax and head out to see what I can see. After all, this is the only time of the year when I can walk on water.
But I'm forcing myself to wait. Why? Because the ice isn't safe. It takes more than a couple of days of sub-freezing temperatures to make the "frost bridge" firm enough for two-legged travelers to tread without falling through. And I don't fancy a cold-water swim, no matter how bracing it might be.
So I'm biding my time till General Winter has consolidated his gains. And while I'm waiting, I'm reviewing some earlier articles on winter travel. Maybe you'll find them useful, too. I hope so.

I am having a terrible time clipping my DS's nails. Last night I accidentally clipped his skin & although he didn't cry, I felt terrible. (and it was especially challenging to put a bandaid on a 4 month old's thumb!) An emory board/file works but it's a little tricky, too. Anyone have any suggestions? Are there nail clippers out there that you would recommend?
I actually have an easier time with good-quality adult clippers. The infant ones with a plastic guard were a sure-fire way to trim some skin. I try to do it while nursing or sleeping and make sure the light is good.
It is so sad when you clip them--heartbreaking! I wouldn't bother with a band-aid, it is a choking hazard. If needed, you could hold a tissue on it and/or put a little lanolin on it.
We use the safety first baby clippers. It took some practice, and we still struggle with her toes but it doesn't take quite as long anymore. I found an emory board even harder to use since her nails are still so flexible.
A co-worker of mine just bit her son's nails, but I think that would be even MORE difficult.
When we were just starting ... I would take my time. If I only clipped one nail at a time, that was ok. I'd just go back in a while and try again.
Eventually she got used to it, and now she seems to enjoy her little manicures

Adrian Dimcev's Blog
Reading Ivan Ristic's SSL Rating Guide 2011, among other things, I've noticed the discussion about certificate revocation status checking options: none, OCSP and CRL.And I cannot resist ranting a little bit…(did not comment yet on that paper though)
What quickly come on my mind regarding certificate revocation status checking that is really great…But just in theory. :)
For a start I would ask myself, why do I need certificate revocation status checking?From a security point of view, to not be MITMed, either with a stolen revoked cert or with one revoked due being improper issued by a CA to some "friendly" people.
And if so, in reality, can OCSP and/or CRL protect me from such a MITM?Errr, not really.
First thing one may note is that it has to take into account the entire picture, so what if the server's certificate includes both OCSP and CRL information?How does the client deals with this information, how the CRL or OCSP are being provided to the clients?
OCSPOCSP, in terms of freshness, performance and scalability, is superior to a CRL solution.In terms of security, depends on how it is used, is susceptible to replay or fails to assure any protection at all.
Freshness for OCSP responses is provided by two means, time-based freshness and with the help of nonces.To counter OCSP response replay, nonces must be used(since it binds the client's request to the responder's response), time based freshness provides a variable window of replay opportunity.
On the responder side, scalability must be taken into account, the use of nonces does not scale.With time based freshness, responses can be cached. At a large scale the validity period of an OCSP response can be up to even a week, which even for an "unlucky" attacker may provide a good 24h of replay window.
For example, if we take a look at PayPal's EV certificate, obtained from VeriSign we can note a validity period of about 7 days which matches the validity period of the CRL, thus the replay window opportunity is the same with the CRL's one; the OCSP response's freshness security will match the CRL based validation solution.
On responder's side, for maximum client compatibility, both GET and POST OCSP requests must be supported(it has been noted that some clienst only do GET requests, some only do POST requests, and some both).Depending on the scale of the infrastructure, the responder may choose not to support nonces.
On the client side, first OCSP must be supported, and for maximum responder compatibility both GET and POST OCSP requests must be supported(it has been noted that some responders failed to handle GET requests), with fallback support from one method to another.Another option may be available for clients, OCSP stapling, the OCSP response being returned by the TLS server during the TLS handshake.From a security point of view, things vary a little.If the client wants maximum security it must use nonces, must issue a fresh OCSP request for new connections avoiding client side OCSP response caching, and must not fallback to OCSP without nonces or to CRL download.However, in reality, for compatibility issues, the clients will not use nonces, do OCSP response caching and implement a CRL fallback, anyway the replay window, like in the above VeriSign example, is the same for OCSP and CRL.Thus attackers have a replay window opportunity.Also, it depends how the clients treats a bogus OCSP response, we saw here(http://www.carbonwind.net/blog/post/Random-SSLTLS-101-HTTP-Strict-Transport-Security.aspx) that some clients do not mind at all after receiving such answers(Firefox 3.6.x or 4 Beta), some may have some UI flags(Chrome 9 shows a broken padlock, Opera 11 does not show the padlock at all), some show a warning message(Safari 5.0.x), and only a few in certain situations abort the connection(like Chrome 9 on Windows 7 in case of a domain was marked as an HSTS site).
So basically, in most cases an attacker would not even have to worry about replay attacks; just present a bogus OCSP answer.
CRLCRL was a prior to OCSP solution to revocation status checking.The issue with CRL is that the list can get quite long(especially on large CAs that have experienced significant amounts of certificate revocation), and to attempt to download it very often is not good in terms of performance and scalability.Thus the validity period of a CRL can be quite long, offering a "reasonable" replay window opportunity.To mitigate this issue, delta CRLs can be used. A delta CRL provides an update to a previously issued complete CRL, containing only the changes in revocation status that have been made since a previous base CRL publication.This allow the clients to download the latest delta CRL and in combination with the most current base CRL(which usually is cached locally) to have the complete list of revoked certificates.
The problem in practice is that both clients and CAs must support delta CRLs, which is not quite the case(due to some complexities associated with delta CRL deployments).
With CRL is difficult to provide freshness for a certificate revocation status and to mitigate replay window opportunity, especially at a medium/large scale.Also, like with OCSP responses, it depends how the clients treats a bogus CRL response, terminate the connection, warn/prompt to continue the user, UI change or do nothing(ignore).
Again, like with OCSP, basically, in most cases an attacker would not even have to worry about replay attacks; just present a bogus CRL answer.
Tables listing a few browsersTried to see which browser uses OCSP and/or attempts CRL downloads, has any fallback mechanism, UI changes/alerts/prompts, connection terminated in case of revocation status failure. Not tested, Opera/Firefox on Mac, other popular Linux distros, like Debian or Fedora.Not tested if the checks are applied to every certficate from the chain.
As can be noted most clients listed support OCSP.
* (Apparently) Uses Windows Crypto API for certificate revocation status checking** If by default uses nonces*** Fallback from OCSP to CRL**** Does not specify exactly what happens for the two main cases: when no revocation info(OCSP/CRL) is available within server's certificate and the OCSP responses/CRL downloads attempts were unsuccessful.***** Probably behavior noted, but not thoroughly tested to be mentioned.Red = not seen as enabled by defaultGreen = seen as enabled by defaultChrome 9.0.x = Chrome 9.0.597.94 was tested.On Ubuntu 10 Desktop, Chrome was installed from Google's web site, and the Firefox version is the one shipped with the OS.On Mac OS X 10.5, Chrome was installed from Google's web site.Opera 11 does not fallback from OCSP to CRL if OCSP fails, tries CRL only if the certificate does not contain any OCSP info(just CRL info), apparently can use POST instead of GET OCSP requests for a list of pre-defined site.
ConclusionWhat conclusion ?Basically is useful to offer both OCSP and CRL, OCSP itself will probably do in most cases. No fuzz.
Some screenshots with certificate revocation status settingsChrome 9.0.597.94: on Windows 7, Mac OS X 10.5.8, and Ubuntu 10 desktop.
Firefox: on Windows 7(3.6.13), Ubuntu 10 desktop(3.6.8)
Internet Explorer 8: on Windows 7
Opera 11.0.1: on Windows 7
Safari 5.0.3: on Mac OS X 10.5.8, we can play with the OCSP/CRL settings from the Keychain Access Preferences, under the Certificates pane, the "Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP)" and "Certificate Revocation List (CRL)" pop-up menu choices.

Colts Stadium Bill Passes Out of Committee
Chairman Espich Proposes a Balanced Approach
(STATEHOUSE) February 23, 2005 - Chairman of the House Ways and
Means Committee Jeff Espich (R-Uniondale) today proposed an amendment
to HB 1846, to provide funding for a new stadium for the Indianapolis
Colts. Chairman Espich's amendment was successful and HB 1846 was
passed out of committee by a vote of 17-5. It will now be sent to
the House floor to be eligible for further amendments and a floor
vote by next Tuesday's deadline.
The bill focuses on the funding of the Colts Stadium by generating
approximately $44 million for construction of the new stadium. Chairman
Espich introduced a balanced three-way effort to produce the funds
from participants of Colts games; including the team, players, and
fans; along with the City of Indianapolis; and the State of Indiana.
(A summary of the proposal is attached)
The participants' portion will raise an approximate total of $14
million including $1 million raised by a Colts vanity license plate.
An estimated $15 million would be provided from an increase in Marion
County taxes, originally proposed by Indianapolis Mayor Bart Peterson.
Those taxes include an increase in the Innkeeper's tax from 6% to
9%, and raising the Marion County Auto Rental Supplemental Tax from
2% to 4%. Both taxes were proposed by Mayor Peterson for the convention
center expansion. Chairman Espich's proposal captures those funds
for the immediate need of the Colts stadium because construction
of a new convention center is still years away and funding can be
achieved in a future General Assembly.
An additional $15 million of state money will be raised from $8
million generated in revenue by an increase in wagering taxes from
35% percent to 36% percent on the five or six most profitable casino
riverboats and an increase in the Professional Sports Development
Area cap from $5 million to $12 million.
"This is a joint effort for everyone who supports the Colts
and wants to keep them in Indianapolis," stated Chairman Espich.
"I am as big a Colts fan as any and have been a season ticket
holder since they first came to Indianapolis. Today we have provided
a fair and balanced and well thought out proposal that should keep
the Colts in Indianapolis for decades to come."

Women over 40 need to rethink messy little ponytails, says OConnor. Better idea: Pull everything back, OConnor advises, for a more polished look. If you leave little pieces out, she warns, blow-dry them to make sure you know what theyre going to do. Try a sleek ponytail with a neat side part instead, secured anywhere from the nape of the neck to just below the center of the head, which heightens the cheekbones, says OConnor. Ponytailed out? Then tuck ends in, creating a chic but simple chignon, says Eugene Toye, stylist at Rita Hazan Salon in New York.
Nobody gets tan anymore, says Garren, explaining why most women this age end up at the colorists, even if they arent going gray. Solid dark hair against light skin all that contrast is not summery, he explains, adding that overlightened hair is not the answer either, as it easily looks washed-out. Hair needs more dimension after 40, agrees Rita Hazan, colorist and owner of Rita Hazan Salon. And it must be protected; the sun will turn hair color all manner of red, orange, and yellow, warns Garren. Ask your colorist for a stabilizing shampoo (Garren Color Stabilizing Shampoo, $30, is one) to maintain color, and spray on a UV shield, such as Fekkai SunShine Shield Spray ($22), to add shine and prevent fading.

- Linsey & Garren Parkins Sep 11th, 2012I did not anticipate all the backbends being so challenging...loved it! namaste
- Sarah Hussam Jul 26th, 2012loved it!
- Natasha Rainger Jun 24th, 2012it is a challenge! but one completed whew!
- susana faria ponte Jun 13th, 2012Very powerful...in part because of the flow and because the instructor participated.
- Molly Molly Feb 24th, 2012Not to seem contrary to the previous poster, as this is only my opinion, but I quite enjoyed the fact that Noah practised and 'instructed' with us. I get more from seeing the authentic yogi in action and their humanness, than I do looking a pretty shapes of yogis in stills. I respect him very deeply for this challenging practise and I found it motivating. Peace and love. Namaste. :)
- sonda Cohen Jan 10th, 2012i think the concept of continuous flow of sun salutations is delicious, but i think it would be better if Noah were not demonstrating himself. It makes him sound very breathy and jerky. Since it is quite repetitive, it would be best to just give oral instructions or have someone else demonstrate. Namaste :)
- Noah Maze Dec 22nd, 2011Thanks guys, for embracing the challenge, for embracing and expanding your potential. May you have sweet and safe holidays!

- Sally Rud Jan 27th, 2011Awesome! Felt a little sore in my lower back, but then my back felt amazingly flexible for days after :). Thank You, Noah!

Southampton twice surrendered the lead in an entertaining 2-2 draw with Stoke City at St Mary's Stadium.
Goals from Rickie Lambert and Steven Davis put the hosts ahead, but they were pegged back on each occasion through Peter Odemwingie's maiden strike for Stoke and Peter Crouch's close-range effort shortly before half-time.
Lambert delighted the home fans on six minutes when he bent home a peach of a free-kick from an acute angle, only for Odemwingie to level after a superb through-ball from Charlie Adam. In a manic end to the opening half, Southampton retook the lead in bizarre circumstances when a cross from Davis deceived everyone and went into the far corner, but Stoke hit back immediately with Crouch scoring from a corner.
Southampton created the better opportunities in the second half, but Stoke held firm to claim a rare point on their travels. The result extends Southampton's unbeaten run to seven matches in all competitions, while Stoke continue to search for a second away league win this term.
The hosts pressed right from the off and were swiftly rewarded with the opening goal. Adam was penalised for handball on the left edge of the penalty area, and Lambert made him pay by bending a superb free-kick into the far top corner.
Despite that early setback, Stoke responded in a positive manner, albeit without initially threatening Artur Boruc. A lack of clear-cut chances for the visitors nearly cost them dear on 28 minutes when Davis led a swift breakaway and played in Nathaniel Clyne, who was denied by a good stop from Asmir Begovic.
That miss was punished as Stoke levelled on 38 minutes. Odemwingie latched on to Adam's defence-splitting pass and kept his composure to open his account for the club with a first-time shot past Boruc.
Southampton were back in the lead three minutes later, as Davis's cross from the left missed everyone and bounced into the far corner. Yet there was time for one last twist before the interval as Crouch bundled home Adam's 44th-minute corner.
The hosts started the second half in a fluid manner and Jay Rodriguez could have done better with a free header from Davis' corner on 50 minutes. Southampton continued to push forward, but Ryan Shawcross typified Stoke's resiliency by rushing to block a shot from Lambert on the edge of the box.
As the game entered its closing stages, Southampton controlled possession and Morgan Schneiderlin almost found the winner when he side-footed into the side netting at the back post with seven minutes remaining.
Southampton manager Mauricio Pochettino: "We deserved to win that game, taking into account we took the lead twice in the game. The final result is disappointing.
"We were facing a very tough opponent and the most physical side in the Premier League. We were creating most of the chances and were unlucky not to get the third goal.
"Overall, we were superior to Stoke. The result does not reflect the superiority."
Stoke City manager Mark Hughes: "We had a fantastic result last weekend with our first win over Manchester United in 30-odd years and it would have been a real disappointment if we hadn't got something out of this game. It's important that we get a run going and I was really, really pleased with what we produced.
"I felt we were the better side in the first half, albeit we went behind twice during that time. We showed great character and no little skill to get back on level terms and then in the second half both teams cancelled each other out.
"As an away team that's a good thing because we restricted a very good Southampton team, a side I've enjoyed watching this season, to very few clear-cut chances. That shows the quality of our performance."

It takes us on a day-long journey in the summer life of Barcelona in tilt-shift, a photography technique that simulates miniature scenes. That's the warmth and colours we like to see in October. Enjoy!
