Restraints - page 3
Hey boss, My pt keeps disconnecting herself from the vent, can I get some mittens? Boss says, "no, we are a no restraint facility, just take a sheet, wrap it around her arms and then loop it around the mattress so she cant... Read More
0Jan 8, '13 by amygarsideIt sounds a frustrating situation.
0Jan 8, '13 by nightnurse28It was always my understanding that a mitt wasn't considered a restraint unless it was tied to the bed/chair/etc.
4Jan 8, '13 by adnrnstudentI would like to restrain "No restraint policies."

1Jan 8, '13 by BlackMurse1Horrible solution, sounds like an ethics consult should be contactedLast edit by BlackMurse1 on Jan 8, '13
1Jan 8, '13 by MInurse.stI think whether mitts are considered a restraint varies by facility. Previously, they were not considered a restraint at my hospital (which I always found odd). Recently, policy has changed and now mitts are going to be considered a restraint (duh).Last edit by MInurse.st on Jan 8, '13 : Reason: typos
2Jan 8, '13 by dudette10Mittens are one of those gray areas where some facilities consider them a restraint and some don't. I personally think they shouldn't be a restraint because free movement is not compromised--they can move the wrist, hand, and fingers-- but they prevent grabbing vents and lines. Seems like a humane, logical intervention to me, but whoever said government regulations were humane and logical?
2Jan 9, '13 by bloody_traumaOh RLY? some of you get way to worked up about all this, but you ask questions and you get answers. I had a pt with AMS who would rip off anything attached or inserted, bad sun downer, anyway... I wrapped his hands in kerlix to protects him from causing damage to himself, ie... pulling out a fully inflated catheter, pulling out his CVA... risk for infection. initiate a nursing order, wrap lightly around the wrist begin your fold at the volar aspect of his wrist, over the palm, twist over in between the 1st and 2nd digit, continue over the palm, wrap over the top and secure his thumb to his fore finger, and document. he wasnt at risk for breakdown, he had great circulation in his extremities, and when I did my q2 and 4 reassessments, I documented to that effect. he still pawed at his accouterments but was unable to grasp them and all was well...
and really you have a pt on vent who isnt sedated enough to prevent this? that would make me concerned and uncomfortable. how is it that your "boss" determines what care the patient does and doesnt get? ultimately it's the physicians responsibility to call it... speak up for whats right, you know how to do this, who ever the determining authority is, describe the Situation, provide the Background, Give your Assessment, and Recommendation. SBAR... if you fail to be heard twice and you still feel strongly, don;t let it die there, that how mistakes and errors occur. these incidences are preventable, why do we have to wait until something happens to enact change? but as always hindsight bias is 20/20...
Sounds to me like there should either be a change in policy from the totalitarian stance of "no restraint facility", OR, you should't have patients, who require the intervention, present in your facility, and requires a greater level of care.
Good luck, I hope your patient benefits from your persistence.

Delay period naturally
Common Questions and Answers about Delay period naturally
O.k. I know I have posted before about progesterone suppositories, because I really felt pregnant. My breasts were enlarged and I felt nauseated, though some of you said that those could be the progesterone side effects. My period is due today. I took a negative HPT yesterday, but I still don't have my period. I feel kind of crampy, but it's a little different. My MD said, "As soon as you get your period, stop the suppositories until after you ovulate again.

The only way to

people are stressed during the window
. I was previously very fit and only started heavy smoking the day after the incident. Does heavy smoking delay the production of antibodies? I have read it does not and only major things like chemo, organ transplants etc do it. I guess many many people smoke heavily when drudging through the window period. Nothing is mentioned and I bet many people have asked. Just want to be sure.

24 days later (I have been 28 days to the hour for the last 10 years when not pregnant). I am currently about to tick over into day 32 waiting for cycle two. I took a preg test day 30 and it was negative. Is it possible I could be newly pregnant (due to miscalculating my dates and a late ovulation) and it is too early to show OR is this completely normal? Also, does anyone know if it's possible to ovulate twice in a cycle?

You knew it as soon as you saw your first red Starbucks coffee cup – the holiday shopping season had arrived, well in advance of Thanksgiving Day discounts and Black Friday doorbusters.
And since there's nothing like a peppermint mocha or a gingerbread latte to put you in a festive mood, it's easy to get caught up in holiday-shopping hoopla.
In fact, an annual survey conducted by global management company Accenture indicates that consumers expect to spend more on gift buying this year.
According to the survey:
While shoppers plan to spend more, they will also be more focused than ever on discounts and sales.
Bargain hunting aside, as a college student with tuition to pay, you may be more sensitive than most consumers to the need to keep your holiday spending in check.
According to Saint Leo's Dr. Passard Dean, associate professor of accounting, there's another important reason to watch your wallet during the holidays.
Your credit score.
It's something Dr. Dean knows a lot about – he used to work at Equifax, one of the three main credit reporting agencies.
"Your credit score is so important in today's economy," he says. "It affects your ability to get a loan on a new car or to obtain a mortgage on a home, as well as the interest rate you have to pay. And if you already have student loans, then you need to be especially cognizant of how much more debt you incurring."
With that in mind, here are some do's and don'ts from Dr. Dean to help you keep your holiday spending under control and your credit score strong.
Dr. Dean's final piece of year-round advice is to get a copy of your credit report every six months, or at least once a year. Being vigilant can ensure nothing appears that can hurt your score.
Do you plan on spending more this year on holiday shopping?

Working with government leaders, scientists, fisheries experts, diplomats, and even survivors of shark attacks, Pew works to highlight the plight of sharks from overfishing and to urge countries to take action to conserve them.
Sharks have roamed our oceans since before the time of dinosaurs, but their long reign at the top of the ocean food chain may be ending. The onset of industrial fishing over the past 60 years has drastically depleted their populations. Of the shark and ray species assessed by scientists for the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), nearly 50 percent are threatened or near-threatened with extinction.
Every year approximately 100 million sharks are killed in commercial fisheries. The catch of shark for their fins, meat, liver oil, cartilage, and other parts remains largely unregulated in most of the world, driving some populations toward extinction.
In general, sharks grow slowly, mature late and produce few young over long lifetimes, leaving them exceptionally vulnerable to overexploitation and slow to recover from depletion. As key predators, their depletion also has risks for the health of entire ocean ecosystems. For example, tiger sharks have been linked to the quality of seagrass beds through their prey, dugongs and green sea turtles, which forage in these beds. Without tiger sharks to control their prey's foraging, an important habitat is lost.
Pew has identified the present moment as a critical time to reverse the global decline of shark populations. We work internationally to influence the fishing nations and treaty organizations that regulate high seas fisheries. In addition, we work with nations whose waters still have diverse populations of sharks to declare shark sanctuaries and to advocate for international shark conservation.

Tax Refund Options
File Online
What's Trending
So, you're thinking of doing a ROTH IRA conversion, you
might want to take into consideration changes that may happen over the next few
years with the tax code.
I'm not saying it will happen, but only something to take
into consideration. Tax reform will
reduce income tax rates for individuals which will be offset by cutbacks in
credits and deductions.
That is the big questions you have to ask yourself when
doing a conversion. Will I pay more in
taxes now or later? In the current tax
system am I in a lower bracket now or will it be better to wait?
If you expect that the tax rate you will pay in retirement
will be the same as or higher than the tax rate on the conversion, then
switching an IRA to a Roth earlier makes more sense. However, if you will be in a lower bracket
then it makes it less appealing.
Many people speculate that tax rates will rise in the future
to help reduce the deficit, but that assumption may be incorrect. The top rate is likely to be around 28%.
We know that this can be challenging to determine what the
best strategic move is for now and in the future. We have a team of professionals waiting to
serve you and answer any questions you may have. Stop by your local Liberty Tax office and see
if now is the time to convert.

Lake Tips: A Watershed Management Plan
Formulating a Plan for Your Lake
Either of these solutions could get the job done, but are they lasting solutions? Not really. They simply address the symptoms of an ongoing problem. Why not formulate a lake clean-up plan that will be cost-effective, treat the source of the problem, and maximize the potential for a long-term solution? Let's consider some of the key components of a lake clean-up strategy that will lead us to the most desirable, long-lasting benefits for our time, effort and money.
Form Partnerships
The people with a stake in the lake watershed, those who are closest to problems that may exist, are best able to help determine effective solutions. Partnerships are helpful for encouraging clear and open communication, promoting a spirit of trust and cooperation, raising public awareness and educating people, and identifying problems, needs and financial resources. Giving the local community the power to affect decisions promotes a sense of hope and helps develop local leadership skills that are important for ensuring the future health of the lake. Partnerships are effective for stimulating creative solutions to complex problems.
An effective partnership will include people and groups with diverse talents, including those with technical, leadership, communication, education, political, and regulatory skills. To help build a partnership, develop a concise statement that defines the purpose of the alliance.
Gather Information
Equipped with this kind of information, you can begin to better identify and address all concerns about lake quality, as well as the local financial and social implications involved. The more information and data you gather, the easier it is to analyze the situation and get a clearer picture of the lake watershed and the concerns raised. Remember that sound scientific principles and techniques should be used in all water quality and watershed monitoring and data gathering.
Set Priorities
Establish Goals and Objectives
Objectives should be more specific than goals. Objectives need to be achievable, meaningful and measurable, with a specific date of completion. For example, one objective might be, "Reduce the phosphorus level in Clear Lake by 20 percent in two years." Keep in mind that objectives may have to be refined as additional information becomes available. To promote a feeling of ownership in the project outcome, goals and objectives should be developed with participation from all partners.
Develop Alternatives
The alternatives selected will be used to form an action plan. The action plan should list each objective, each solution or alternative that supports that objective, and specific actions for each alternative. It is also a good idea to list who is responsible for carrying out each action, a deadline for completion and the cost involved.
A communication plan also needs to be included in the overall lake watershed management plan. Such a plan can help you generate support for the project, while informing and educating the community about the lake and its watershed, as well as the role that all citizens play in the quality of their natural resources.

"I don't think our troops ought to be used for what's called nation-building. I think our troops ought to be used to fight and win war."
—George W. Bush, October 11, 2000
"We meet here during a crucial period in the history of our nation, and of the civilized world. Part of that history was written by others; the rest will be written by us ... Rebuilding Iraq will require a sustained commitment from many nations, including our own: we will remain in Iraq as long as necessary, and not a day more." (italics added)
—George W. Bush, February 26, 2003
The transformation of George W. Bush from a presidential candidate opposed to nation-building into a President committed to writing the history of an entire troubled part of the world is one of the most dramatic illustrations we have of how the September 11 terrorist attacks changed American politics. Under Bush's presidency the United States has taken responsibility for the stability and political development of two Muslim countries—Afghanistan and Iraq. A lot now rides on our ability not just to win wars but to help create self-sustaining democratic political institutions and robust market-oriented economies, and not only in these two countries but throughout the Middle East.
The fact is that the chief threats to us and to world order come today from weak, collapsed, or failed states. Weak or absent government institutions in developing countries form the thread linking terrorism, refugees, AIDS, and global poverty. Before 9/11 the United States felt it could safely ignore chaos in a far-off place like Afghanistan; but the intersection of religious terrorism and weapons of mass destruction has meant that formerly peripheral areas are now of central concern.
Conservatives never approved of the so-called "humanitarian interventions" undertaken during the 1990s, including those in Somalia, Haiti, Bosnia, Kosovo, and East Timor. Liberals, for their part, remain unconvinced by the Bush Administration's rationale for its invasion of Iraq. But whether for reasons of human rights or of security, the United States has done a lot of intervening over the past fifteen years, and has taken on roughly one new nation-building commitment every other year since the end of the Cold War. We have been in denial about it, but we are in this business for the long haul. We'd better get used to it, and learn how to do it—because there will almost certainly be a next time.
Critics of nation-building point out that outsiders can never build nations, if that means creating or repairing all the cultural, social, and historical ties that bind people together as a nation. What we are really talking about is state-building—that is, creating or strengthening such government institutions as armies, police forces, judiciaries, central banks, tax-collection agencies, health and education systems, and the like.
This process has two very separate phases, both of them critical. The first involves stabilizing the country, offering humanitarian assistance and disaster relief, rebuilding the infrastructure, and jump-starting the economy. The second phase begins after stability has been achieved, and consists of creating self-sustaining political and economic institutions that will ultimately permit competent democratic governance and economic growth.
The first of these phases is well understood, and although difficult, it lies within the capability of both the United States and the broader international community. (The United States Agency for International Development has a very spotty record in promoting long-term economic growth but is actually pretty good at delivering humanitarian assistance.) The second phase, the transition to self-sustaining development, is far more challenging; and it is even more important in the long run. The key word is "self-sustaining": unless outside powers are able to leave behind stable, legitimate, relatively uncorrupt indigenous state institutions, they have no hope of a graceful exit.
What long-term lessons can we draw from the American experience so far in the reconstruction of Iraq? The Bush Administration has been heavily criticized for its failure to plan adequately for the postwar period; but we must remember that nation-building is inherently difficult. If an unexpected problem arises, that does not necessarily mean there was a planning failure, because it is not possible to anticipate every contingency.
Administration officials argue that they did considerable planning for which they don't get credit, because it had to do with contingencies that never arose. Chemical and biological weapons, and also oil-field sabotage and fires, were much discussed before the war. But the Iraqis evidently had no such weapons; and, largely because the country was occupied so fast (the result of a war plan that emphasized lightness and speed over numbers and redundancy), the oil fields were not sabotaged. Before the war some 60 percent of the Iraqi population lived on food donated by the UN World Food Programme, and the Administration worked quietly with that agency to ensure that food would flow to the whole Iraqi population during the war. Extensive plans were made to deal with a major humanitarian or refugee crisis like the one that followed the Gulf War of 1991—but none emerged.
For what, then, can the Administration justly be held accountable? By far the most important oversight was its failure to develop contingency plans against the possibility that the Iraqi state would almost completely collapse. The Administration hoped to decapitate the country's Baathist leadership and allow new leaders to take over quickly. Instead there was a severe breakdown of order, as the army melted away, the police stopped patrolling the streets, and government ministries stopped functioning. The consequences of this disorder were significant: the government's physical infrastructure disappeared, as ministries were stripped of doors, toilets, and wiring and then torched; the search for weapons of mass destruction was compromised by the looting of weapons sites; and many Iraqis' first impression of their "liberation" was one of crime and chaos.

Divorce with Decency: Why I Wrote the Book
by Bradley Coates
After having handled over twenty thousand divorces (which, as close as we can figure it, is about how many divorce cases my law firm has processed during the last couple of gut-wrenching decades) I had just about had it. It was enough to make you sick…or crazy…or both!
I just knew I had to try to figure out some way to do it better, to handle things less acrimoniously, to perhaps turn things around and find a more positive focus. I had begun to question my own sanity. Was I starting to fit the frequent (and so often accurate) description of a "sleazy divorce lawyer?"
Throughout my career, my approach has been to try to handle my divorce practice in a radically different, more sensitive and more positive way – one which endeavors to "make the best" of the bad situation which divorcing couples inevitably face. In the process I have successfully built the largest divorce and family law firm in Hawai`i.
Coates & Frey, the ten attorney firm which I founded, is now generally recognized as processing more divorce cases through Hawai`i's Family Court system than any other. Our firm has gotten some pretty positive "strokes" for our somewhat more sensitive and user friendly style of practice…including my having been selected as one of Hawaii's SuperLawyers and as Best Divorce Lawyer by both the Honolulu Weekly and Honolulu Magazine. But I still felt vaguely uneasy. I felt I had to try and do something more to assist average folks as they bounced along the rocky road of divorce.
My "Raison de Writing": Although I feel we do the best job we possibly can for our firm's clientele, it became apparent to me that the only way I could reach beyond my own paying clients to try and dispense whatever grains of wisdom I might have to share about my "positive approach" to the handling of the divorce experience was to write this book. Only in this way could I more widely disseminate information to readers interested in trying to explore a more enlightened approach to the entire divorce process. My intent is to package some of my entirely too-extensive experiences into a book format which could be available for fifteen bucks or so – thereby making it more accessible to people who are understandably put off by the $250.00+ dollar an hour fees which I and other prominent divorce attorneys customarily charge in the privacy of our paneled offices.
An "All Encompassing" Divorce Guide: My aim has been to write the definitive divorce text, providing maximum possible amount of information about every aspect of the divorce process. I knew from the start that it would be a difficult and unwieldy task, but I felt strongly that I wanted to write a book which encompassed all the multifaceted emotional, psychological and sociological aspects surrounding divorce – as well as its strictly legalistic issues. This conviction mirrors the way I have come to view my own role as a divorce lawyer. When I first started practicing, divorce law was basically a "meat ax down the middle" process characterized by a narrow, and narrow-minded, focus on the single issue of property division. I have now come to realize however, that if you want to do a proper job of divorce lawyering you have to treat divorces as a multilevel, interdisciplinary behavioral science, essentially peeling away the multiple levels of complexity of the modern American family structure like the layers of an onion.
I had yet to read any book, however, which combined all of the components of important divorce guidance into one single comprehensive, informative and above all, readable work. Writing such a book was the goal I set for myself when I embarked upon authoring this summary of insights gleaned during my two-decade career as divorce lawyer. I hope you find this book to be useful, thought provoking, anecdotal and–because divorce is often too tense for anyone's good–at least occasionally amusing.
I strongly believe that since divorce is so common in our society, it is probably best if people can accept it as a frequent, and infrequently unavoidable, fact of life and then just deal with it as best they can. If divorcing clients can understand that they are part of a massive and overarching sociological phenomenon, there is a less of a tendency for each person to feel like a failure or to blame themsleves for being unable to maintain their marriage. Personally, I feel that maintaining a light and upbeat (maybe even offbeat) touch in divorce cases ultimately serves to improve the psychological health of my clients, not to mention my own.
So there you have it, my "raison de writing," so to speak. My goal has been to write the first book that I know of which deals with the psychological, economic, and sociological issues, as well as the legal aspects of a divorce, yet is presented from the more utilitarian point of view of a divorce attorney.
I now know from personal experience that when a marriage unravels the one thing every divorcing person needs is a good friend. And that's really what this book is all about. I sincerely hope it can serve as your friend when you need one. Aloha.

According to a report released July 27 by the Louisiana Department of Education, East Baton Rouge Parish School System (EBRPSS) schools continue to improve. Four EBRPSS schools have been taken out of the state's Academically Unacceptable Schools (AUS) status.
Broadmoor Middle, Capitol Elementary, Park Elementary and Winbourne Elementary schools achieved performance scores of more than 60 each and are off the state's AUS list. Last year, six EBRPSS schools exited AUS status. This two-year record of schools exiting the unacceptable status is rewarding to the students, teachers and principals who are working day in and day out to increase student achievement.
In addition, two EBRPSS schools passed the Subgroup Component for two years and are no longer in subgroup failure: Broadmoor Middle and Northeast High schools.
EBRPSS schools entering AUS 1 status this year are Delmont Elementary and Mayfair Middle schools. AUS 6 schools in the district include Banks Elementary, Capitol Middle and Istrouma High schools.
"Our school performance and student achievement continue to increase due to intense concentrations in the areas of Math and Reading, as well as programs that deal with the other side of student achievement – I CARE programs, Volunteers in Public Schools, tutoring and the anti-truancy efforts by the district, city and District Attorney's Office," said EBRPSS Superintendent John Dilworth. "Our teachers are working diligently every day in every way possible, and we are starting to see progress. With the piloting of a career technical center and year-round elementary schools this school year, we continue innovative approaches to education and instruction. There is more hard work ahead, but we are on the right track."
For more information, contact Liz Frischhertz, the district's chief officer for Accountability, Assessment & Evaluation at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The King James Version of the Holy Bible is the most influential and widely published book ever written. It has been translated into over 2,000 languages and is still the world's best-selling book every year. After its original publication in 1611, the King James Bible quickly became the standard for English-speaking Protestants. Its flowing language and prose rhythm has had a profound influence on the literature of the past 400 years.
English speakers around the world are praising this new recording of the King James Bible by British narrator Christopher Glyn, who draws on 35 years of experience as a Christian narrator and broadcaster to bring you this expressive reading of the King James Bible, which captures the beauty and power of God's Word in easy-to-understand language.
Public Domain (P)2012 Simon Peterson
"The best audio bible so far"
This is one of the best audio bibles so far, I love the KJV, and because of the "old English" and the rich content of the bible, I like to read it slowly, so my comprehension is complete.
This audio bible narrates clear and slower than other audio bibles that I've listened to, Christopher Glyns voice is a pleasure to listen to, without back ground drama sounds and music, keeps me perfectly attentive. I highly recommend this for serious bible lovers and students that don't need God's word cluttered up.
I was worried about this audio not being broken up chapter by chapter or even book by book, and in some situations it is small problem, yet, I'm finding that it is overcome by the convenience of the players and easier to handle the smaller amount of files, I don't think it is such a problem to loose a star over.
Jesus! Because He is God & loves us soooooo much that He died for us.
Can't pick out just one scene, this book is full of God's love for His creation.
This book did and does make me laugh and cry, angry and happiness, full of wisdom, drama, life, death, love, hate, sex, war, peace, joy, travel, suspense, business, mystery, crime, law etc. there is something for everyone in this collection of books
Get to know God's word for yourself, by listening to the whole bible, and don't just take other peoples word for it, I am surprised at how much new stuff I find each time I read or listen to the bible.
...Fear God, and give glory to him... [Revelation 14:7]
"It is very good"
Great God's Word!
I like the way how he read it. Voice is nice. And I like that it's not too fast reading. Even though Audible allow speed changes.
I am listening to this book almost every night in bed when I go to sleep. During the first couple of weeks after purchase I played the book every night all night long. You can't finish the whole Bible in one sitting :)
This bible is about 86 hours long. It is split into 10 about 8 hour sections.
With no table of contents how can I find the book I want to hear.
I can download the audio bible for free on the internet.
I expected a better organized presentation.
I'm a mom of two boys, a dog, a heard of cats and a bearded dragon. i am also a wife and a business owner. Wine is my drug of choice.
"Daily Bible Reading"
The top. I read a daily bible reading. This has helped me keep on track. I have always said I would read the bible, this made it easy to keep that life goal.
Well, god of course
Gods voice
It helps me spiritually
Christopher Glyn reads the entire Bible with just the right amount of emotion, not over the top by any means, yet with enough feeling that he helps the listener learn the meaning in the passages.
I am 44 and I love to read and listen to the bible and other devotional books
"Great Bible"
Yes,I love to read the Bible but Sometimes I would rather Just relax and Listen
The king James Bible can not be compared it is the best Bible I have come across so far
Sometimes when I listen to someone else do the reading, it helps me understand whats going on, And I can sit back and put myself in that time I think its really cool.
I love Christian fiction and cozy mysteries. I'm blind now, so I listen to all my books.
"The Complete King James Bible Audio Version"
This narrator did an excellent job. Easy to understand. Pronounced difficult names with ease. Never lost interest. Great tone, enunciation and inflection. His voice has a distinct richness.
Obviously the Bible is the best book ever written and this will remain true forever. One exceptional feature of this version is as each chapter begins, the narrator announces the book and chapter. I listen to this daily and never tire of it.
"Excellent audio bible"
I am reading the bible for the first time, have never read it before and this book is narrated beautifully. I am going to enjoy this for a long time. Devout and newbie like me I am sure will enjoy :-)
"Superb paced reading."
This is the third version of the KJV I now have, the Scourby was the standard reading, this has replaced it because the pace is perfect, the emphasis is, to my taste, just right finding the balance between drama and detail which is so much a matter of timing. It would be unjust not to acknowledge the Pure Voice recording as an excellent version for those who find a single narrator wearing. I don't and so find this ticks every box. Superb.
Always as its easy to understand and listen than holding a large book you can read God's words wherever you are
New testament as old was harder to understand with all the old words
All the evil things that some people may not know about what happened to jesus before his death
Well written and spoken would recommend
"Simple, powerful word of God."
This is a straight forward reading of Scripture. The power is not in shallow dramatics but in the truth. The reading is clear so listening is easy. The reading is also with understanding. Excellent.

As a team we have to react together and this is what I have asked of all my employees."

The more energy you have, the less you have to step on the gas and thus [you] use less fuel." Ferrari under delivered in Melbourne The Italian added of the F14T, "However, the problem is bigger and we should not focus only on the engine because the chassis of the car also needs to be improved.

"I really hope that we will ready … at a certain level, or at least to solve the issue that we had, already at the next race in Malaysia," Domenicali explained to Autoweek.

Army Offering $20,000 Bonus For 'Quick' Recruits
Updated On: Jul 27 2007 06:45:49 AM EDT
As the U.S. Army continues to keep thousands of troops deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan, Army recruiters have a new perk to offer new recruits.
The Army is now offering a $20,000 "QS" ? or ?Quick Shipper? -- bonus to new and prior service recruits joining, selecting any job and shipping out for training within 30 days.
"The Q.S. letters means "quick shipper," said Columbus Recruiting Battalion spokesperson Tom Foley in a news release. "And $20,000 means, well, it means a lot of seed money for new soldiers answering the Army's call to duty. The Army is growing in size and we simply need more recruits for training, now."
The $20,000 bonus is in addition to previous offers already in place.
The Army has had trouble meeting recruiting goals, especially in southwest Ohio, in the past few months as the Middle East conflicts continue.
Soldiers have often complained about the traditionally low pay as well.
Foley said some recruits could tally bonuses up to $40,000 during this period with enlistments of four years or more.
Students News 5 spoke to at Boone County High School said the money is appealing, but would not convince them to join.
"I don't think I would, for that reason, to go over to Iraq,? said senior Jared Snow. ?I don't think it would be worth it to me, but it would appeal to me."

I seldom write reviews but I cannot pass on this. This cookbook is the BEST I have ever seem. Coloured pictures showing how the recipes turn out, Easy instructions and for us Canadians a conversion chart for metric. The price is much better than what you would ever find in a bookstore and the book is thick. I LOVE this book. I have not found any downfalls to buying this. You will not be disappointed.

Raspberry Ribbon Mini Cheesecakes
Now that Im not eating dairy, I tried my hand at a non-dairy cheesecake. This was adapted from a Blueberry Cardamom Cheesecake recipe at LifeIsStillSweet blog. Unlike her Blueberry dessert, I put no cardamom or lemon juice in my raspberry version. I also added some almond flour to the middle layer, and I changed up the sweeteners, as honey and dates are just too high in carbs for me to use as much of these as the original recipe calls for. I also decided to use coconut cream rather than coconut milk, as I find it richer. This is still quite high in carbs and calories, even with my sweetener changes, so this special treat will be reserved for holidays and special occasions. This recipe is suitable for the OWL phase of Atkins. Primal/Paleo folks will likely want to use the honey in the fillings and dates in the crust called for in the inspirational recipe, in lieu of the sweeteners I used below. I used 4 3/4" mini non-stick springform pans. This dessert is a great way to increase your coconut oil intake, if you are striving to do that.
½ c. pecans, chopped
½ c. walnuts, chopped
3 T. erythritol (granular)
¼ tsp. cinnamon
1 T. coconut oil
1 c. raw cashew nuts, soaked in water for 2 hours
¼ c. almond flour
6-8 drops liquid stevia extract (I use NOW brand)
2 T. coconut oil
¼ c. coconut cream
1½ tsp. vanilla
3/4 c. fresh raspberries
¼ c. coconut cream
2 T. coconut oil
6-8 drops liquid stevia extract
DIRECTIONS: Soak cashews for 2 hours in water to soften them and set aside for now.
Measure all crust ingredients into a food processor and pulse to blend into a dough. Press half the crust into the bottom of two greased or non-stick mini cheesecake springform pans. Chill crusts while you wait on the cashews to soften. Wash processor parts.
Drain water off cashews and place them in food processor bowl. Measure all other vanilla filling ingredients into the bowl except sweetener. Pulse until completely smooth and add sweetener slowly, pulse and taste to get it as sweet as you like. Brands of sweetener vary greatly. Spoon half the mixture onto each chilled crust and spread top even. Chill while you make the raspberry top layer. Wash processor parts.
Place berries in processor bowl. Add coconut oil and cream and pulse to puree. Add sweetener slowly again, tasting as you add between pulses, until you get the proper amount for your taste. If your berries are real sweet, you may want less sweetener; you may need more if they are tart. Spread half the fruit mixture evenly on top of each cheesecake, trying not to disturb the vanilla layer. Optional garnish can be a single berry in the center or a sprig of mint.
Chill for 2 hours. Each mini cheesecake serves two people. You can also make this ahead, freeze and defrost a short while before serving.

Iranian Gormeh Sabzi (Stewed Herbs/Greens)
This dish is traditionally just the herbs/greens and lentils/beans. But I like to add meat to the dish and make it more like a meat curry or serve it with grilled kebab, beef or lamb:
Ive mentioned before that I lived in Iran between the ages of 10-12. One of my fond memories of Iran is the wonderful evening aroma of a national dish known as Gormeh Sabzi. Gormeh means stew; sabzi means herbs. It is basically a variety of greens and herbs stewed down with a few beans or lentils and then it is served over Iranian rice (their rice is is the most unique in the world to me). Not a very photographic dish, to say the least, (Google and you'll see what I mean) but a very tasty dish! My first time to taste this dish was when our maid, Fatimeh, invited my brother and I to her daughters wedding. I learned it tasted even better than it had always smelled when we would walk down the streets at meal time. I could just never get past the unappealing look of the dish. I finally tasted it at the wedding. The fenugreek is what makes this dish so unique for me. I order my ground fenugreek from Penzeys spices; buy my fenugreek leaves at a Middle Eastern deli/importer in Austin.
Happily, years later, but before the advent of the Internet, I discovered the recipe I sought to duplicate was included in the 1960 Officers Wives Club recipe/calendar booklet my mother brought back to the States and that recipe is adapted below. The spices are correct as they appeared in the original recipe, but the additions of the meat, the dried mango and use of coconut milk for the traditional yogurt are mine and mine alone. It is NOT traditionally served with fruit or meat in it. I might add the two ingredients bring much flavor to this wonderful herb dish. Omitting the meat and cooking the greens in the basic sauce will result in a wonderful side dish to serve with kebab or roasted/grilled lamb, if you prefer to make it the traditional way. Low carbers could even add a drained 1/2 can of soy black beans to the simmering greens. for a more authentic side dish. Without the meat, this makes an excellent vegetarian main dish.
I cook the sauce/stew in one pan and saute the greens separately in another, serving the meat stew atop the sauteed greens when ready to plate at the table. I find that approach visually more acceptable. You can, however, stew the chopped greens right in with the meat if you want it to look more traditional.
This dish, with all the greens, is quite carb-y, but the nutritional info is so impressive, who cares? I actually made the above-pictured batch with pork, because I had some thawed tonight. But pork would never be eaten in Iran. It is referred to as unclean meat in the Koran. They would use either young lamb or beef if they added meat to this. If you cant find dried mango, you can sub in dried prunes, cherries, apricots or raisins, provided they are the type with no added sugar. I can get all of these at my local Natural Grocers.
This dish is suitable for any phase of Atkins and for Paleo-Primal diners as well. Vegetarians will enjoy the meatless version as a main dish.
For the MARINADE:
16 oz. lean lamb (or beef) cut into 1-1½ pieces
½ c. coconut milk
1 tsp. each ground coriander, ground cumin, ground fenugreek seed
1 T. dried fenugreek leaves (available at Middle Eastern Grocers)
¼ tsp. cayenne pepper
For the meat STEW:
4 T. clarified butter or olive oil
5 oz. onion, sliced
2 tsp. ginger root, peeled and minced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 c. homemade chicken or beef broth
1 cinnamon stick
6 each cardamom pods and whole cloves
2 bay leaves, whole
Pinch sea salt
1 oz. dried mango, cut into strips (the kind with no added sugar)
To prepare the SABZI (greens):
1 T. olive oil
2 c. spinach leaves, chopped
1 c. kale leaves, chopped
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
1 c. parsley, chopped
1 c. leeks or green onion, chopped (optional & not included in stats below)
DIRECTIONS: Marinate meat in coconut milk mixture for 1 hour covered in the refrigerator. When ready to prepare meal, heat butter in large skillet. Add onion and saute until nearly tender. Add ginger and garlic. Spoon meat and all the meat marinade into the pan and saute a few minutes. Add all remaining listed stew ingredients. If cooking the greens with the meat, add them to meat pan now. Otherwise, lower heat and simmer the meat mixture for about 20-30 minutes, tightly covered. Stir once or twice during cooking to blend spices throughout sauce. When the dried mango (or whatever dried fruit you are using) has plumped/softened and the meat is done, you can, if desired, thicken the liquid with a pinch of your favorite thickener (I used a pinch of arrowroot powder). Heat 1 T. olive oilover medium-high heat in a separate non-stick pan if doing greens separately. Place greens in the hot oil and saute 4-5 minutes or until they are thoroughly wilted. Serve stew atop a bed of the sauteed greens. You either want to try to remove the cinnamon stick, cloves, bay leaves and cardamom pods before serving or caution your guests not to eat them. They are not pleasant to bite into.

Tex-Mex Beef Bone Broth Soup
Bone broth is so very good for you! I make it, freeze it and use it at every opportunity in my cooking. I like to collect my grass-fed beef bones in a large plastic bag in the freezer. When I have a big batch, I make a batch of rich bone broth. I happened to have 1½ quarts of made-up broth in my freezer today and decided it was a good day for soup for lunch. I didnt add too much to the stock really just a few vegetables and some leftover grass-fed brisket that was also in the freezer. I tossed in a couple things to spice it up a bit and VOILA! A delicious, hearty, nutrient-dense soup for a chilly winter day.
1½ qts. (6 cups) beef bone broth
1 c. rich, beef gravy (I used some I had leftover chuck roast pan drippings)
8 oz. cooked grass-fed beef chuck or brisket, diced (I used brisket)
½ c. Rotel tomatoes with green chilies
1 c. diced tomatoes (I used no-salt canned)
3 stalks celery, chopped
2 small carrots, chopped
4 T. my chimichurri sauce: (or 2 T. each fresh parsley, cilantro and minced jalapeno pepper)
½ tsp. blend of your favorite chili powder blend (I used a blend of smoky chipotle, guajillo and ancho)
2 cloves garlic, minced
Dash each salt and coarse black pepper
DIRECTIONS: Place all ingredients in a large soup pot and bring to a boil. Simmer for at least 1 hour to cook vegetables tender and to blend the flavors together. Serve with your favorite low-carb crackers. I served mine with my new Almond-Arrowroot Crackers.

Not a recipe, but a new cookbook that I picked up and was impressed with.
Interesting cookbook: The Ancestral Table by Russ Crandall
First: yes, it's considered a Paleo book.
However: he does use rice, potatoes and dairy, so it's very doable for most plans.
Second: I'd say half of the recipes I've looked at are "you don't need to be a professional chef to do this" type. Some are fairly complicated or take time, but for the most part, the ones I've looked at are fairly simple.
Third: easy to find ingredients. Of course he suggests the usual "hormone and antibiotic free, organic, free range, no crapola additives" stuff, but there's also a heavy lean towards "whatever is in your budget".
Fourth: while not a necessity, the book is beautifully photographed. I'm an "eye eater" so this has a big effect on if I'm going to try a recipe or not
Now he does use things like tapioca starch, potato starch, rice noodles, honey, etc. So many of the recipes are not uber low-carb, but there's a lot of potential (subbing shirataki noodles, stevia, glucomannan, etc).
Anyway, if you're in the mood for a new cookbook, I really like this one (enough to post about it lol).

Paleo Granola With Oven-dried Strawberries
2 1/2 cups raw almonds
2 cups macadamia nuts
1 1/2 cup coconut flakes
10 medium strawberries
6 dried apricots
2/3 cup dried cranberries
2/3 cup dried Goji berries
2/3 cup Chia seeds
First you have to prepare oven-dried strawberries and this will take the longest amount of time. The good thing is that you can occupy yourself with other errands or reading a book while theyre baking. Wash and pat dry strawberries and slice lengthwise. You should get about 5-6 slices from each strawberry. Turn the oven to the lowest heat setting, about 75C. Spread strawberry slices on a rack or a tray that has holes to let the hot air circulate under the berries. Oven dry/bake for 2-3 hours. At around 2 hour mark, I carefully peeled and turned the strawberry slices over.
Once you remove strawberries from the oven to cool, turn the heat up to 150C. Scatter almonds and macadamia nuts in a large baking tray and roast for 10 minutes, giving them a stir every 1-2 minutes. Youre after golden brown colour and a nice toasted smell. Watch the nuts towards the end of the roasting period as they will need more frequent stirring.
Remove nuts to a bowl and let them cool. In the same baking tray, scatter coconut flakes and roast for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. As with the nuts, keep an eye on them and stir half way through.
Place almonds and macadamia nuts in a food processor and grind into small chunks/crumbs.
Finally dice dried apricots. Mix nuts, coconut flakes, and apricots with strawberries and the rest of ingredients and let the mixture cool down completely before storing in an air-tight jar or container. It should keep for a few weeks, although you might end up eating it much quicker.

Paleo nachos with sweet potato chips
Sweet potato chips
1 large sweet potato
2 tbsp macadamia oil or coconut oil
sea salt
Spicy beef
1 medium brown onion, finely diced
1 tsp ghee or coconut oil
1 long red chilli, diced
300-400 g ground beef/beef mince
2 garlic cloves, finely diced
1/2 tsp smoked paprika (regular is also fine)
1/2 regular paprika
1/2 tsp ground cumin powder
1/2 tsp ground coriander seeds
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 1/2 cup canned diced tomatoes or tomato passata
2/3 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
Tomato salsa
2 medium tomatoes, diced, seeds out
2 tbsp chopped green onion
2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander (cilantro)
1/2 tsp chilli flakes or cayenne pepper
1-2 tbsp lime juice
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 avocado, mashed with a fork
1 small garlic clove, finely diced or grated
1 tbsp lime juice
1/2 tsp sea salt
black pepper
1 cup of Paleo Cheese Sauce ** recipe below
Sweet potato chips - If making sweet potato chips, preheat oven to 170 C/338 F. Slice the sweet potato as thin as you can. Use a mandolin slicer or a slicer setting on a food processor if you like. Toss potato slices in macadamia or coconut oil, use your hands to separate the slices so as many get covered in oil as possible. Place parchment/baking paper on two flat roasting trays and place potato slices in a single layer, overlapping each other slightly if needed. Bake at 170 C for 20-25 minutes and then turn the chips over. Bake for another 20 minutes or even longer if you want them very crunchy.
Spicy beef - Heat ghee or coconut oil over medium heat. Add onion and chilli and sauté for 5 minutes, until golden. Add the beef and bring the heat to high. Cook and stir with a spatula for 5 minutes, separating the pieces along the way. Then add the rest of ingredients, stir and bring to boil. Turn the heat down to low and simmer for 20-25 minutes, with a lid on, stirring regularly.
Cheese sauce - In the meantime prepare the cheese sauce according to this recipe. - recipe below
Tomato salsa & guacamole - Combine salsa ingredients in a bowl and set aside. Prepare the guacamole and set aside.
Finally, assemble the nachos in the following order. Place the beef in the middle of a large, deep platter. Make a well in the middle and push the beef outwards. Add tomato salsa around the beef and place the chips on the edges of the platter. Place dollops of guacamole on the beef and pour the cheese sauce in the well of the middle of the platter.
Paleo Cheese Sauce:
1 1/4 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup macadamia oil or olive oil
1 1/2 tbsp tapioca flour (arrowroot flour)
1/4 cup savoury/nutritional yeast flakes
1 tbsp white miso (shiro)
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder or 1 small garlic clove, finely diced
sea salt
1/2 cup almond meal
Add chicken stock, oil and tapioca flour to a small heavy bottom saucepan. Whisk together until well combined and tapioca is dissolved, more or less. Then bring mixture to boil and remove from the heat.Whisk again, it should thicken quite a bit.
Now add the yeast flakes, miso, nutritional yeast flakes, miso, lemon juice, onion powder, garlic powder and pinch of salt. Whisk everything together and then add the almond meal. Whisk again until well combined. Place the saucepan back on the heat and stir for about 2 minutes over medium-low heat. Make sure to stir a lot to prevent the mixture from sticking to the bottom. If you want a thinner sauce, skip the last 2 minutes of stirring over the heat and if you wanted it thicker, stir for a little bit longer.
Sort of Harissa, sort of not
I had some dried thai chilis and figured I'd make something with them.
Warning: this was diabolically hot! I had to temper my original recipe by adding some organic crushed tomatoes and roasted red bell pepper (hence the "sort of not" in the title).
My additions to temper the heat have a *** by them, so taste before adding and see if you need it.
2oz dried chilis (the little ones you would see in Chinese food), pop the caps off but leave the seeds (or not- very very very hot if you leave them in)
2 cloves garlic
1/2tsp sea salt
1tsp corriander seed
1tsp ground cumin (I didn't have any seed)
1/4 cup cilantro (optional)
1T lemon juice
1T vinegar
3T good olive oil
2 roasted red bell peppers*** (drained if in jars)
1/2 cup strained or crushed organic tomatoes***
Soak the chilis in boiling water for 20-30 minutes until they're rehydrated.
Seed them if you want to. (If you use bigger chilis, you can easily snip the stem off and shake the seeds out before soaking, Just give them a smack against the counter before snipping the stem).
Drain(reserve the soaking liquid) and add the chilis and everything else*** to the food processor and process until smooth.
If it's screamingly hot, add the tomatoes and process again.
If it's still too hot, add the peppers and process.
At this point, adding more of the tomatoes or peppers is up to your taste buds.
Thin with the soaking liquid if needed.
Refrigerate in a glass jar. If it has a metal lid, make sure the sauce isn't touching the lid.

Dottie's "not your momma's caesar" salad dressing
1 large egg yolk
1/2 tsp mustard
4 filets Anchovies (Rolled Fillets)***
2 tbsp Lemon Juice Raw
2 oz Haas Avocado (this was the flesh of 1 small avocado for me)
6 oz Macadamia Nut Oil
1 clove garlic
3 tbsp Shredded Parmesan Cheese
I make this using an immersion blender.
Real parmesan, not the green stuff.
Can use olive oil, I had plenty of macadamia oil on hand.
Place everything except the oil in a suitable blending cup and blend for 10 seconds to puree.
Leave the blender in the cup and pour the oil in, then blend until smooth.
Add cracked black pepper and salt to taste, blend again.
Keep in a covered jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
** If it's too thick for your taste, add a little water and blend again.
***If you like anchovies, add the olive oil from the anchovy tin to the dressing with the other oil

Add the dry ingredients and beat with a fork until smooth.
**Add more water if needed to make a very thick, batter, almost dough like but not "dry".
Spoon into prepared dish and tap lightly to settle.
Microwave for 2 minutes or until the center is no longer "wet".
Run a knife around the edge then flip onto a rack to cool (so it doesn't get steamed/soggy on bottom).
1. Add 1T freeze dried blueberries to the water, let them rehydrate for 5 minutes and increase the stevia by a few drops before continuing the recipe as normal.
2. Added 2T shredded sharp cheddar cheese, a pinch of garlic powder and a pinch of dried parsley to the dry ingredients.
3. Add 2T shredded pepper jack and 1tsp minced jalapeno to the wet ingredients.

I got the idea off a paleo blog, but it called for 1 cup of lemon juice and no sweetener. I love "sour gummies" but this would have been inedible, imo.
Maybe later in strawberry season when they're sweeter.

Last night I made Tuscan Soup and Caesar Salad, and the whole family loved it!
Tuscan Soup
6 cups chicken broth
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 1/2 pound spicy Italian sausage
1 bunch fresh spinach, washed and chopped
1/4 cup heavy cream
salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste
Brown the sausage with the chopped onion. Add the broth and garlic, bring to a boil. throw in the spinach and cook just until wilted. Turn off the heat and stir in the cream. Season.
Caesar Salad
3 cloves garlic, peeled
3/4 cup mayonnaise (I use my homemade paleo mayo)
5 anchovy fillets, minced (I get anchovy paste in a tube and use 5 teaspoons of it)
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (leave it out if you don't do cheese)
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste
8 cups romaine lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces
Mix the dressing and toss with lettuce. SO good!
