mom vs nurse - page 2
I'm a mom of 4 kids (3, 5, 7, 9) a student right now, soon to be an RN. I just wondered how those of you who also have young children or large families juggle the 2 roles. I know there will be a lot of sacrifice, and a lot of... Read More

I also have a day planner (and phone) that keep all my appointments, reminders, etc I have no family but lots of friends support to help with pickups etc. . it's crazy!

8 kids?????? You win!!!!!
I wish you the best in school!!!!
- 0Oct 11, '12 by jadelpn GuideIf you have a signigicant other, now is the time to use them!! If they can drop off and pick up kids, all the better! And grandparents LOVE to be part of all of this, so it may be that grandpa would LOVE to drop off the kids!!
Evening before, check backpacks for homework, notices, and the like, all kids have showers, they have their clothes laid out, breakfast table set, lunches packed as much as they can be, schedule o the day written out....I love a white board, or leave a list.
I get up a bit early, get in shower, when I am out, robe on, and kids up and getting ready, finish packing lunches and everyone has backpack by the door. When they are eating, I am getting dressed. Big ones help the little ones. When I leave, the kids are dressed and ready to go to school, and your s.o. can do the drop off? And they all are clear on what is happening after school. I like to do my homework when either the kids are doing theirs before supper, or after everything is ready to go for the next day. I put a load of wash in while I am up doing homeowork. It is a great idea to do 2 weeks of shopping. Sundays I make a baked chicken or something that can go for leftovers a couple of times. I make use of a crockpot in the morning. A couple times a week the kids buy lunch--then they can have a soup and sandwich for supper. One night is pizza night--bag salad as well. If a get a good deal on hamburger, I make and bake meatballs that I can freeze. Then it makes for easy crockpot stuff. This too shall pass and before you know it you will be out of school--but I find I still do the same type A organizational stuff to this day.....LOLOLOLOL but it has worked that my kids are very organized for their day to this day.......
- 0Oct 11, '12 by rn2bnokWow! you guys are amazing. I'm trying to find a good organization system for the family. Rigth now my husband works nights (supposed to be 2nd shift) but leaves at 3pm gets home at 4am. So he's not a lot of help right now, he's looking for a day shift position to transfer to though. Anywho....I'm looking for something to help me keep everyone's everything in line so I can try to remember stuff and keep up with it. Love the freezer cooking idea and the crockpot is my favorite invention ever, next to my smart phone!! lol
- 0Oct 11, '12 by ixchel, BSN, RNA smart phone is a must!!!! Get one that will seamlessly sync your calendars between you, your hubby and your computer and/or e reader. And make sure the calendars auto sync. I have an iPhone, iPad and MacBook. I live and die by my calendar. If its not on there, it doesn't exist. Period.
I have 2 kiddos, a hubby on second shift and I'm in my first semester of a BSN program. My first year of prereqs, both kids were he with me. My second year, they both were in school full time. I can't tell you the massive difference. The best advice I can give any mom is wait until they are in school full time if you don't have family that you can regularly call on for hours-long blocks of time. You don't just need time for classes, you need time for studying. My husband had a hard time getting that. He thought time out of class was free time. (Don't even ask what his college gpa was lol)
We have honestly not made a plan for when school is done. I'm leaning toward working nights, but my husband's schedule does make things complicated. We still have a year and a half to figure that out.
Slow cookers are great, planning meals and shopping ahead, having your kids help you study (kids LOVE this, especially little ones!), and religiously following a calendar have been my saving graces. I've also obsessively planed every step of my journey far in advance so there are no surprises.
- 1Oct 12, '12 by kmarie724I work full time evening (3-11:30 pm) and have two kiddos, ages 3.5 and 10 months. Right now, working evenings is great because I have the mornings free to spend with my kids, run errands, clean the house, etc. But I don't want to be working evening once my oldest starts school because I would only see her in the morning before school then she would be in bed when I get home. One thing that helps me a lot is on my days off I cook extra portions of all meals so I have leftovers to eat at work. And just accept your house will be a disaster most of the time. If we have clean clothes and dishes and the floors are reasonably clean, I consider it good.

6 Surprising Things You Should Always Buy at Drugstores
Save a bundle by shopping for these items at the pharmacy
By Marlisse Cepeda
Shampoo and Conditioner
Keeping your locks luscious has never been so affordable, and you can save more on hair care at pharmacies than at supermarkets and warehouse clubs. Drugstores often pair up with manufacturing giants like Proctor & Gamble (Pantene, Herbal Essences) and Unilever (Dove, TRESemmé) for promotions when the company wants to call your attention to a new product, says Kathy Spencer, author of How to Shop for Free. Combine purchasing a product thats already on sale with coupons and pharmacy rewards you get for signing up with a store program, and hair products can cost next to nothingor be free! Drugstores are the only type of stores that offer free-after-rebate deals on hair-care supplies.

England captain Steven Gerrard has emerged as a doubt for Wednesday's game in Sweden, where he is set to win his 100th cap.
The 32-year-old midfielder played the full 90 minutes for Liverpool against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
But the skipper is to have a precautionary scan on his knee before travelling to Sweden and leading Roy Hodgson's side in the international friendly.
A statement on the Football Association website read: "Steven Gerrard will have a precautionary scan this afternoon, having reported for England duty on Sunday evening following Liverpool's 1-1 draw with Chelsea.
"Gerrard is expected to be fit to travel to Sweden where he is in line to win his 100th cap for his country."
Five players, including Wayne Rooney, have already withdrawn from the England squad.
Liverpool's next fixture is at home to Wigan in the Premier League on Saturday.

Veteran Vegas entertainer Wayne Newton is not saying Danke Schoen to a Vegas-area advisory board.
According to Vegas media, on Tuesday night the Paradise Town Advisory Board voted against Newton's proposal to turn his Casa Shenandoah in an exclusive community southeast of town into a tourist attraction. The idea is to shuttle tourists from a museum to his estate.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal says Newton, 68, "is teaming up with Texas businessman Steven Kennedy to build a museum and theater on 10 acres of land that is zoned for commercial use north of Sunset Road. He envisions shuttling visitors from the museum and the Strip to his ranch, where they can see his property, an array of animals and 20 vintage cars. Some tours would take people through the bottom floor of his 14,000-square-foot house. A car wash would be built on Pecos Road to clean the shuttle buses. He also wants to build a small chapel to hold weddings, but it would not be a full-fledged commercial chapel, said Greg Borgel, Newton's planning consultant."

RELATED: What's new in Las Vegas? Hotels, bars, shows
The LasVegas Sun says the entertainer known as "Mr. Las Vegas" refers to opening his home to the public as "Graceland West."
Board members said they were concerned that turning the home into a museum attraction would would draw excessive traffic and be detrimental to the neighborhood, which is not zoned for commercial purposes.
Area media says the next step is another hearing Nov. 17, when the Clark County Commission will consider the proposal, taking into account the advisory board's recommendations. Meanwhile, Vegas is down one museum now that late icon Liberace's just closed. Newton seems ready to fill the void (did you know that he has entertained visitors for a half-century?).

Mayor Rahm Emanuel shifts 500 police officers, but union isn't impressed
BY FRAN SPIELMAN City Hall Reporter email@example.com May 24, 2011 10:22AM
Mayor Rahm Emanuel shakes hands with officers Tuesday after announcing that he's shifting 500 cops from specialized units to beats in high-crime districts. | Rich Hein~Sun-Times
Article Extras
Updated: August 31, 2011 12:38AM
Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Tuesday delivered what he called a "down payment" on his promise to put 1,000 more police officers on the street — by shifting 500 officers from specialized units to high-crime districts.
But a union leader dismissed the summer crime plan as a reshuffling of the deck that fails to deliver on Emanuel's campaign promise and misleads the public.
"I believe in the beat officer. . . . That's where you fight crime — not in . . . top-heavy specialized units. That's what we became: a top-heavy, specialized unit Police Department," Emanuel said.
The 500 officers will be primarily drawn from two elite units: the Mobile Strike Force and Targeted Response Unit.
Starting Sunday and continuing for 90 days, 400 of those officers will be reassigned to high-crime districts on the city's South and West sides: Grand Crossing, South Chicago, Calumet, Gresham, Englewood, Chicago Lawn, Harrison and Austin.
The remaining 100 officers will be unevenly distributed to five police areas based on crime statistics to respond to "flare-ups," Emanuel said.
Acting Police Supt. Garry McCarthy called it a "shift in managerial philosophy" that will usher in a new era of accountability, using the CompStat model he championed in New York City.
"The terms `accountability' and `authority' you're going to hear over and over and over again. Commanders will be held accountable for reducing crime in their districts and their areas. This is putting the resources in their hands to make them do it," McCarthy said.
Fraternal Order of Police President Mike Shields argued that what the Chicago Police Department desperately needs is to hire more officers — not play a game of checkers with the officers it already has.
Emanuel campaigned on a promise to put 1,000 more police officers on the streets of Chicago. He hoped to accomplish that by: hiring 250 officers with funds generated by tax-increment–financing (TIF) districts; using police cadets to free officers from desk duty; cracking down on medical abuses and renegotiating a policy that allows officers to take 365 sick days every two years.
"To say this is 500 more officers on the street — no, it's not. Don't mislead the public. There are no more police officers today than there were yesterday. They're taking 500 officers as if they were never on the street and putting them into beat cars. They're acting as if they were assigned to some desk duty," Shields said.
"Officers in the Targeted Response Unit and Mobile Strike Force are some of the hardest working officers on the street. Whether they're in the units or not, they're still gonna work hard. That's not the issue. The issue is, we desperately need to hire more police officers. Until they do the hiring, we're gonna be low on manpower, no matter how you slice it."
Asked twice whether he still intends to honor his campaign promise to put 1,000 additional officers on the street, Emanuel appeared to hedge. His staff subsequently argued that Emanuel promised 1,000 new officers "on the beat" and that, by that measure, he's half-way home.
That's not how Ald. Latasha Thomas (17th) sees it. "I actually think we're still at 1,000 [and counting] because those were supposed to be new officers, right? But, I need to see how we pay for them," Thomas said after joining Emanuel at a news conference at the Gresham District, 7808 S. Halsted.
Ald. Howard Brookins (21st), newly-elected chairman of the City Council's Black Caucus, said he would have preferred former Supt. Jody Weis' politically explosive plan to permanently redeploy officers to high-crime districts.
But, Brookins said he welcomes an influx of beat officers to replace, what he called a "para-military strike force that would swoop in, terrorize the community and swoop out again."
"This is a start. Absolutely, I'm happy that there [will be] more police in the community and we'll give the plan a chance. But, if it appears that it's not working, I'll be in the mayor's ear again," Brookins said.
A two-year hiring slowdown has left the Chicago Police Department more than 2,300 officers a day short of authorized strength, counting vacancies, sick leave and limited duty. Former Mayor Richard M. Daley's final budget called for hiring up to 200 new officers, but not a single one of those officers has entered the police academy.

Murder from the Skies — U.S. Creating New Enemies Where There Were None [alternet]
October 11, 2012 Leave a comment
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)…increased use of anti-anxiety, and anti-depressant drugs…suicide. These are all issues that are plaguing American combat soldiers, and which the American media has reported on widely.
Over the weekend, the CODEPINK delegation to Pakistan heard directly from the victims of U.S. combat drones. We listened intently to the stories of these men who describe their lives in terms of "Before Drones" and "After Drones," in much the same way that Americans refer to their lives "since 9/11."
Imagine having up to 6 drones circling overhead 24 hours a day, making an incessant, constant buzzing sound that never ceases. The sound the drones make creates a deep-seated psychological fear—a sort of emotional torture. The lives of these people have changed completely, their culture and way of life destroyed.
This is a communal society, whose families of 60 to 70 people live in the same compound. The women cook together, the families eat and sleep together. Weddings and funerals are huge gatherings of friends and family—or at least they used to be. Now, "After Drones (AD)" everything has changed. Children aged 5 to 10 no longer go to school. Men are afraid to gather in groups of more than 2 or 3. Weddings, which used to be joyous affairs with music, dancing, and drumming, are now subdued events with only close family members present. And most sadly, since funerals have been the target of drone attacks, they are now small gatherings as well.

Following his breakthrough feature, Secretary, director Steven Shainberg creates a ravishing imaginary portrait of the visionary artist Diane Arbus in his new film, Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus. Much as an actual Arbus photo transports us into strange and unfamiliar worlds, FUR travels through the looking glass to explore the transformation of a shy woman into a powerfully original artist. Oscar winner Nicole Kidman stars as 'Diane Arbus,' a devoted wife and mother whose innate talents and dark obsessions are profoundly at odds with the conventional life she leads in 1958 New York. Oscar-nominee Robert Downey Jr. co-stars as Lionel, an enigmatic new neighbor who launches Diane on her journey to becoming the artist she is meant to be.
Inspired by Patricia Bosworth's book 'Diane Arbus: A Biography,' Fur pays homage to a brilliant artistic talent who challenged accepted notions of beauty and ugliness, and forever changed photography through her radical techniques and subject matter. Aptly, Shainberg and screenwriter Erin Cressida Wilson have conjured Furnot as a biopic, but as something different and original, unique and mysterious, intertwining real aspects of Arbus's life with invented characters and an imaginary narrative. It is a new way of cinematically approaching the portrayal of an historically important person, and captures the real dilemma of a 1958 housewife who is torn between love for her husband and children and her profound need to create and explore. Brilliantly performed by Kidman and Downey, Fur is a tale of artistic and personal self-discovery; an Alice-in-Wonderland adventure that is both exciting and scary, and ultimately, deeply moving.
As Fur opens, a small audience of wealthy furriers is expected at the Arbus Family Photography Studio and home for a fashion show of the latest furs from Russek's, the posh Fifth Avenue fur and department store run by Diane's father. It is a stressful event for D

Review summary
Norton AntiVirus 2004 Professional (NAVP) debuts with a promising pedigree. Previous versions have consistently led the antivirus pack in security innovations, being the first, for example, to scan instant-messaging attachments as well as inbound and outbound e-mail. The program routinely receives high marks from independent antivirus testing laboratories. Its interface is easy for beginners to navigate, yet it offers advanced users plenty of scanning options. The 2004 version continues the tradition (including some we don't like, namely, the fee-based phone support), but it adds an imperfect antispyware feature and licenses for two PCs. NAVP 2004 is a solid program for home offices, but its half-hearted enhancements make it a questionable $30 upgrade for existing users.
NAVP 2004 offers the option of a preinstallation virus scan, an added protection measure not matched by Norton's leading competitor, McAfee VirusScan Professional 8.0. This procedure adds a lot of time to the setup process, however--30 minutes on our test PC; users with time constraints may wish to bypass it. (NAVP does an automatic postinstall scan, too.)
The program froze during our first install attempt, but it ran perfectly once we rebooted. NAVP 2004 supports Windows 98 through XP and requires a slightly larger amount of drive space than previous versions: from 85MB to 125MB depending on the OS version.
After setup completed, NAVP connected automatically to Symantec's Web server to download the latest virus definitions. Inflation alert: NAVP 2004 users get a year of free definitions, after which the annual fee is $19.95--a significant jump over the $10 renewal charge for NAVP 2003. McAfee users pay $14.95 annually after the first year. Symantec has also added an activation process similar to that used by Microsoft in Windows XP, though we found this to be a painless extra step.
NAVP 2004's well-designed interface changes little from its predecessor's. The main screen presents a snapshot of your PC's security, with red or yellow icons marking items that need attention, such as outdated virus definitions. Default settings provide strong security by automatically deleting viruses and scanning compressed ZIP files, as well as stopping spyware and Trojan horses from infecting your PC. Popular options, such as scheduling automatic scans, are easily accessible.
NAVP 2004 adds two major capabilities. First is its enhanced detection of compressed files. Previous versions of NAVP detected viruses embedded in ZIP and other compressed formats during manual scans. NAVP 2004's real-time scanner finds and deletes these hidden viruses on the fly--as they are being downloaded, for example--adding another layer of protection.
NAVP 2004's second new feature is the capability to detect and destroy spyware, adware, and hacking tools that may be lurking on your hard drive. NAVP 2004 is the first antivirus app to include this feature. However, the free standalone utilities, such as Lavasoft's Ad-aware and Spybot Search and Destroy , ferret out these same annoyances much better. For example, in our tests, NAVP 2004 failed to find a malware component uncovered by Ad-aware 6.0 in a follow-up scan. (We ran Ad-aware immediately after the completion of a Norton system scan.)
The professional version of NAVP 2004 also includes licenses for two separate PCs.
In our CNET Labs' tests, NAVP 2004 caused a 4 percent drag on our test system's performance. McAfee VirusScan Professional 8.0, on the other hand, produced no perceptible drag. But NAVP 2004 scanned our 1GB drive much faster than McAfee did. Here are our complete test results:
Norton AntiVirus has been tested on Windows systems six times since 2000 by the independent testing organization &siteid=7&edid=&lop=txt&destcat=ex&destUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Evirusbtn%2Ecom%2Fvb100%2Farchives%2Fproducts%2Exml%3Fsymantec%2Exml" target="_blank">VirusBulletin and earned its coveted VB 100 percent title each time. By comparison, McAfee's VirusScan has been &siteid=7&edid=&lop=txt&destcat=ex&destUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Evirusbtn%2Ecom%2Fvb100%2Farchives%2Fproducts%2Exml%3Fmcafee%2Exml" target="_blank">tested and earned a VB 100 percent title only once. It's hard to draw any meaningful conclusions from such limited data. Previous versions of Norton AntiVirus have also been certified by the independent antivirus testing laboratories at &siteid=7&edid=&lop=txt&destcat=ex&destUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Echeck%2Dmark%2Ecom%2Fcheckmark%2Fproducts%2Ehtml" target="_blank">West Coast Checkmark, &siteid=7&edid=&lop=txt&destcat=ex&destUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eicsalabs%2Ecom%2Fhtml%2Fcommunities%2Fantivirus%2Fcertification%2Fcertprod%2Eshtml" target="_blank">ICSA Labs, and &siteid=7&edid=&lop=txt&destcat=ex&destUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eav%2Dtest%2Eorg%2Fdown%2Fspecial%2F2002%2D07%5Fmarket%2Den%2Exls" target="_blank">AV-test.org.
Like McAfee, unfortunately, Symantec charges for its live tech support via phone: either $29 per incident or $2.95 per minute. We tried the free alternative: e-mail. The form was hard to locate, but techs were responsive, answering within 24 to 48 hours. Unfortunately, Norton does not offer online tech chat, a feature McAfee offers (with mixed results) for its VirusScan customers. The Automated Support Assistant, another feature accessible via the support site, is a convenient way to download product upgrades and keep your copy of NAVP 2004 up-to-date. Symantec's free online knowledge base is a helpful do-it-yourself resource.

InterNations Featured Blog
Fran: Fran-Japani
Please tell us a little bit about yourself. Who you are, where you come from, when you moved to Japan, etc.
My name is Fran and I am originally from New Zealand. I moved to Tokyo, Japan in 2003 to teach English for a year (on a working holiday visa). I hated Japan at first and almost gave up and went home after a few months. After being encouraged to stay and stick out the remaining months on my visa, I realised I loved it here!
When and why did you decide to start blogging about your experiences?
I started blogging simply to update my family on my daily life in Japan. It was much easier than writing separate emails!
Do you have any favorite blog entries of yours?
Hmmm, writing about my pregnancy and the birth of my son are the most memorable for me (but I don`t know about my readers!!).
Tell us about the ways your new life in Japan differs from that back home. Did you have trouble getting used to the new circumstances? Did you experience culture shock?
I had a lot of culture shock when I first arrived. It was July (the rainy season), I was living in a tiny hostel room with my best friend and 100 mosquitoes, we had no jobs, no friends, and no money!
Do you think you were fully prepared for what awaited you in Japan? If you could, would you change some decisions/preparations you made?
I was not prepared. I wish I had done more research on companies that were hiring English teachers, as well as understood more about the value of the yen.
Every expat knows that expat life comes with some hilarious anecdotes and funny experiences. Care to share one with us?
I would rather forget most of those early experiences, but let's just say that coming from New Zealand, where most of my friends never wore high heels, let-alone makeup, I was not the most stylish of the Tokyo-ites!
Which three tips would you like to give future expats before they embark on their new life in Japan?
- Research! Read blogs, forums and websites and find a company that is currently hiring, while suiting you and your needs.
- Save money!
- Come with a very open mind. Japan is an incredible country, but the people are shy, and it takes time to make good friends!
How is the expat community in Japan? Did you have a hard time finding like-minded people or fellow expats?
Once I had a job it was easy to meet other expats. It was much harder making good Japanese friends.
How would you summarize your expat life in Japan in a single, catchy sentence?
The most incredible learning experience!

More Layoffs? Time for Publishers to Ditch Their HR Departments
Shoot the messengers! Let the editors take over human resource duties!
Death and taxes aren't the only things those of us in the magazine world can be sure of anymore. We might as well add magazine layoffs. At least that's been the case for the last couple of years. How many of us read the FOLIO: or mediabistro.com e-newsletters and see one of our former—if not current—employers ditching their publications or shaving off dozens of our former colleagues? It's getting scary to do what we do these days, even more so than after 9/11.
But who are the bearers of not-so-glad tidings to hundreds of hardworking magazine staffers? The HR rep, that's who! For the three seasons of The Office, Toby, the in-house HR rep, was being constantly undermined by the office's clueless leader, Michael, until Toby left to pursue greener pastures. But maybe Michael is on to something.
But, seriously—why should HR people sit in their offices so confidently while the rest of us tremble as we watch our co-workers march to the elevators with their white file boxes full of snow globes, coffee mugs, and Simpsons memorabilia after receiving their pink slips? If companies need to work smarter rather than harder, it's time to send most publishing HR staffs back to where they belong … oh wait, Starbucks is shuttering a lot of its shops, too. That could be a problem.
I am not anti-HR. I minored in it because I thought it was actually interesting. (That might be my problem.)
But the things I've seen some HR reps do that range from simply not smart (like reply-all blunders) to making a multi-million dollar publishing company liable to lawsuits (racism, sexism, fill-in-the-blankism).
So what's the solution, you ask? Simple: Have one of your mid-level editors who's demonstrated good people skills take over the in-house HR duties. Or have the editors take a larger role managing their writing staffs. Chances are the HR folks make more money than the editors do anyway, so there's your savings right there.
Look, if it comes down to being fired or taking on extra responsibility at little or no extra pay, most editors I know would be fine with that. And they could have that martyr complex we love so much.
There's nothing worse than trying to put out a great magazine and always looking over your shoulder in anticipation of the HR person leaning into your cubicle—scythe in hand—and saying, "Hey, can you come down to my office for a second?"
It's time to bring the era of the power-wielding HR flack to an end. And soon. At least before I decide it's time to get a new job!

Bread Maker - Universal #4
Click thumbnails for expanded view.
- $60.00
- Item Not Available
A nice, clean example of the Landers, Frary & Clark, Universal Bread Maker #4. This specimen is complete with the all too often missing table clamp and is ready to put to use. This tin beauty is in very good condition and measures 9 ½ high with a top diameter of 12. The directions for the use of this bread maker are stamped on the top lid - Put in all liquids first - then flour - turn 3 minutes - raise in pail - after raising turn until dough forms a ball - take off cross piece - lift out dough with kneader. Advertisements from the period state The process of kneading with this machine is thoroughly scientific and sanitary. It makes no difference what kind of bread flour is used. Results are always the same - better bread. Directly opposite to hand kneading is the work of the Universal. In hand kneading the particles of flour are necessarily pressed together, and the liquid does not thoroughly moisten each particle of the starch granules, while with the bread maker these particles are lightly held apart until thoroughly wetted and kneaded. The Universal Bread Maker was awarded a gold medal at the St. Louis Exposition in 1904.

Can Jesus Be on the Courthouse Lawn?
November 8, 2012 in slideshow
As always, thanks to all those who contributed to October's etcetera: Charlene Lutz for helping to facilitate the discussion (and Jon Zachman for valuable behind-the-scenes input); the Good Work Collective for the building; Aroma's for the coffee, and everyone for attending!
November's etcetera topic is "Outlawing Christmas: Do National Religious Holidays Have a Place in the Public Square?" How do we handle the public expression of religious belief in a nation of both diversity and freedom? Perhaps more importantly, what role should the state play in allowing (or disallowing) religious expression on government property? Our speaker will be Steven M. Jentzen, an attorney who has participated in landmark cases in family law, land development, free speech and religious liberty.
Public organizations approach the private celebration of religious belief in different ways. Though the constitution allows for the expression of faith in schools during the celebration of religious holidays, it's not always easy to know when governmental institutions cross the line from accommodation to promotion.The State of New Jersey has quite a list of religious holidays that students are allowed to miss, though the humungous list at the University of Washington puts theirs to shame. On the other hand, Harvard has been far less inclined to jump on the holiday bandwagon when it comes to any type of public accommodation for private beliefs. And courthouse lawns? Yeah, they're divisive.
This aspect of the church/state controversy will be the topic of this month's etcetera (November 29, 7:00, at the Good Work Collective). In preparation for this meeting, here are some links with a variety of perspecites on the issue. Read the rest of this entry →

Apologetics Press
by Matt Slick
Founder: Bert Thompson (This is not verified)
Headquarters: Montgomery, Alabama
Membership: Not Applicable. It is an organization with a staff.
Website: www.apologeticspress.org
Origins: Origins in "the late 1970's...In 1985 Apologetics Press moved to its own custom-built, 11,000 square-foot building..."
Teachings: Baptism is necessary for salvation. Salvation can be lost. Obedience to the gospel is necessary to keep one's self saved. Denies election, predestination, and original sin.
Publications: Monthly journal called Reason & Revelation; monthly publication called Discovery which is aimed at kids; various books and tracts; audio CD's, and DVD's.
Biblical Analysis: We do not recommend this ministry. Avoid it since it teaches baptism as a requirement for salvation, requires obedience to keep one's self saved, and it denies original sin.
"According to the rest of the New Testament, spiritual conception occurs when the Gospel (i.e., the seed of the Holy Spirit—Luke 8:11) is implanted in the human heart and mind (James 1:18; 1 Corinthians 4:15; Ephesians 6:17; 1 Peter 1:23). The Word of God, in turn, generates penitent faith in the human heart (Romans 10:17) that leads the individual to obey the Gospel by being baptized in water (Mark 16:16; Acts 2:38; Hebrews 10:22). The resulting condition of the individual is that he or she is now a child of God, a citizen of the kingdom, and member of the church of Christ (Matthew 28:19-20; Galatians 3:26-27; Romans 6:4).1
Salvation is not by baptism, but by faith in Christ alone. Roman 4:1-5 sates...
"What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, has found? 2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about; but not before God. 3 For what does the Scripture say? "And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness." 4 Now to the one who works, his wage is not reckoned as a favor, but as what is due. 5 But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness," (Rom. 4:1-5).
Justification before God is by faith alone, not by faith and baptism. Notice that Paul removes works from the only two options he mentions: faith and works. When you only have two things and one is removed, the other is alone. Hence, justication by faith alone, which is why Paul says, "But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness," (Rom. 4:5). (See Are We Justified by Faith (Romans) or by Works (James)?)
In its page "About Apologetics Press"2 there is an alarming statement:
"Salvation is by means of obedience to the Gospel system, involving faith in God and Christ, repentance from sin, confession of faith, and immersion in water for remission of past sins, coupled with a life of growing consecration and dedication."
Of course we must ask, what is the obedience that is necessary? Notice what it says about baptism: "immersion in water for remission of past sins." Past sins? So, what do you do to get your future sins forgiven? Well, the statement implies salvation is by works when it says that "salvation is by means of obedience to the Gospel system...coupled with a life of growing consecration and dedication." So, this is works righteousness and we must designate this organization as outside Christian orthodoxy.
In its page "What we believe"3 there is no statement supporting the Trinity. This prompted me to call up the organization. I did so on 12/17/2012 and spoke with Eric Lyons. In that interview he stated they affirm the Trinity.
Following are the notes I was taking during that interview (which can be heard here.) The outline is not necessarily in the order of the audio. It was written while I was talking to him.
- What group are you?
- No denominational affiliation, but mentioned they are Church of Christ

Original Hairspray auteur John Waters, responding to the New York Daily News' piece titled "Travolta in 'Spray Revolts Gays," argues, "It should have said 'Revolts Gay,' because it's just one person" Washington Blade editor Kevin Naff raising a ruckus.

Question: Any update on whether Mackenzie Rosman and/or David Gallagher are coming back to 7th Heaven?
Answer: Still nothing new to report. Here's something else, though. As you know, Haylie Duff is currently appearing on Broadway in Hairspray. Well, the ever-accommodating producers over at 7th Heaven shelled out beaucoup bucks to construct a set in New York so Haylie could shoot her scenes there without having to fly to Los Angeles on her one day off a week.
Jennifer Lopez
That big-screen version of Dallas is inching closer to reality. Variety reports that the cast is starting to fill out — particularly in the backside, one might say, with Jennifer Lopez being offered the role of Sue Ellen Ewing (played by Linda Gray on the long-running CBS serial). Luke Wilson is in talks to play Bobby, and Shirley MacLaine is being eyed for Miss Ellie, while the most plum part, J.R. himself, is still earmarked for John Travolta (production on Dallas would begin in October, after he's done filming Hairspray). You can practically hear Paris Hilton and Jessica Simpson catfighting over the role of Lucy.

Attraction Details :
Wat Rai Khing, a civilian monastery built in 1791, is located in Tambon Rai Khing, only 32 kilometers from Bangkok. It was named after the district by Somdej Phra Phuttha Chan (Pook). When the construction was completed, the Buddha image was brought from Wat Sala Poon and enshrined here, later the locals named the image "Luang Pho Wat Rai Khing". According to legend, this Buddha image was found floating in the river, so the townspeople took it up and enshrined the image at Wat Sala Poon. The Buddha image features Chiang Saen style, assumed to be built by Lanna Thai and Lan Chang craftsmen.
Prince Vachirayan Varoros granted temple the name "Wat Mongkol Chinda Ram" (with the words "Rai Khing" in parenthesis after the name) but the locals call the temple "Wat Mongkol Chinda Ram Rai Khing", later it was shortened to "Wat Rai Khing".
The temple is well known among Thais as devoted Buddhists frequently visit Wat Rai Khing to pay homage to the sacred Buddha image so every Saturdays and Sundays, food and fruits are sold in front of the temple.
It is also renowned for a natural fish sanctuary, a habitat of hundreds of thousands of Sawai fish (big catfish-like, freshwater fishes) where visitors can buy loafs of bread to feed them.
For History enthusiasts, there is a museum collecting and exhibits various kinds of artefacts including ancient bowls, mural paintings, and old books, all of which were donated by the townspeople.

On a recent sunny morning at New York's Greenwich Hotel, David O. Russell is all smiles when his adorable 20-month-old son, Leo, wanders over mid-interview to hug his dad's leg. ''Leo, can you say hi? Are you being shy?'' the filmmaker says. This is a gentler Russell than you might expect, considering that he came to blows with George Clooney while shooting 1999's Three Kings and then made news again in 2007 when footage of him screaming at Lily Tomlin on the set of I [heart] Huckabees found its way to YouTube. Apparently, just as his new film, Silver Linings Playbook (now in theaters, rated R), suggests, people can change.
The movie, an offbeat hybrid of indie drama and mainstream rom-com that could only have sprung from Russell's brain, has earned critical raves and Oscar buzz. Bradley Cooper stars as Pat, a recently discharged mental patient who moves in with his parents (Jacki Weaver and Robert De Niro) and strikes up a friendship with a fellow misfit named Tiffany (Jennifer Lawrence). Over coffee and granola, Russell, 54, discussed his personal connection to the material (his son Matthew, 18, who has a cameo in the film, attends a school for special-needs kids); bonding with De Niro (who recently told the Los Angeles Times he has a child with ''difficulties''); and how deep down he is just an old softy.
I understand Sydney Pollack was the one who gave you Matthew Quick's novel The Silver Linings Playbook. He planned to produce the movie?
Yes, it was about five years ago, about a year before he passed away. Sydney and I had several talks I had no idea he was not going to be with us much longer, so I feel like it makes [the movie] all the more special.
But you ended up making The Fighter first.
The money didn't come together in time, so we made The Fighter. And that experience ended up impacting the way I rewrote and directed this.
How so?
Once I finished The Fighter I said, ''Okay, let's deepen these characters.'' The Robert De Niro character in the book is a bit more of a fire-breather, but given my personal experiences and Mr. De Niro's personal experiences with family challenges, I wanted [his character] to be the full human palette: You can feel a great longing to connect with your child and yet at other times you want to kill him. [Laughs]
Your son's scene is very funny: He gets to laugh in Robert De Niro's face!
He loved doing it. He started laughing because you never know what Bob's going to do. Because it was personal to Bob, we felt like he was stepping up in ways that maybe he hadn't since Casino. When we read the script at his home two years ago, I thought he had hay fever. And then as we were talking about the story of the father and his kid, I realized he was crying. I watched him cry for 10 minutes. I could almost cry right now thinking about it.
Bradley Cooper is not an obvious choice for the role of Pat.
I don't shy away from surprising an audience. I first saw Bradley in Wedding Crashers, and he seemed like a very angry person like a big angry frat guy. Right there I was more interested in who he was. Then when I met him I asked him about that. He said that he'd been an unhappier person, and angrier. [Russell pauses and cocks his head, listening to the background music.] What is this song? Do you know it?
I don't. I could Shazam it.
Yes! Do that! [The app doesn't pick up the song, so Russell goes to ask someone at the hotel to find out the name. He returns a few minutes later.] Bradley had 30 pounds more on him and was angry and then made a change that's like the character. The fact that he was superhungry to do it and supernervous... There was an anxiousness and an eagerness, which is also like the character.
And you cast Jennifer Lawrence as Tiffany before she even landed her role in The Hunger Games. Had you seen her in Winter's Bone?
Yes, I thought she was terrific in that. Here's the funny thing: We had a lot of great choices. Wonderful movie stars and actors auditioned. We thought we had our three final choices. Everybody in my world claims credit for this, so I can't even keep track of who told me to audition Jennifer. We said, ''She's so very young, who knows how much experience she really has? Who knows if she can credibly play this?'' And she was really a godsend. I couldn't imagine it any other way.
She's fantastic. And I love her character. I really get Tiffany.
How would you describe her?
She's tough, and when she cries, she gets really pissed off about it. That's my favorite thing about her. My favorite thing about this movie in general is that it reminds me of my grandmother telling me, ''Every pot has a lid.''
I never heard that. Oh, you mean the fit. Oh! That's good. The fit. Oh, yes. Jennifer auditioned on Skype from her father's study. She dressed up as the character: black eyeliner and black clothing. And she was just extraordinary. I remember at one point she cried, and I was sitting there spellbound, and I said, ''Do you want to get a tissue or something?'' And so she gets up to go to the bathroom, and I hear her go, ''Auuugh!'' She came back and said, ''There was a very big spider. I do not want to go back in there.'' [Laughs] That's just pure Jennifer. She's unfiltered, she's confident, she's not neurotic. She's unpretentious. But she has that magic as our editor said, ''Kissed by the angels.'' [A hotel staffer brings a slip of paper with the song title Russell had been looking for. He waves it triumphantly and puts it in his pocket. It's ''Lying in the Sun'' by Koushik.]
You've had some blowups on past productions. Both The Fighter and Silver Linings Playbook are about second chances. Is that what you're searching for in your career, too?
Yes. It does feel like a different era for me. I just want to keep going and take whatever humble lesson I learned from that stuff and keep moving.
Your next movie stars Bradley Cooper, Christian Bale, and Amy Adams, and is based on a true story of corrupt politicians in New Jersey in the '70s?
Yes, it's a true story and has criminals, Mafia, con artists, the FBI. But again, it's the romance and the relationships I care about. It's about the people to me.
Did I see that it's called American Bulls---?
That was the name of the script written by Eric Singer that I'm rewriting, but I don't think I'll call it that. That's too cynical for me. Corny as it may sound, heart really is everything. I love Scorsese...but I love Capra just as much.

There is a success gap between what our kids have achieved and what we as parents expect of them, according to Jennifer Fox at the Discovering and Developing Your Child's Strengths talk.
"Your kids are really freaking out about your expectations," she said.
That struck a nerve. We want our kids to be happy and to find what fulfills them but those two "goals" may not meet our own ideas about what success looks like, and that gap is what Fox was addressing. She spoke as part of the Hinsdale High School District 86's community speaker series, which is also sponsored by the District 181 Foundation, Hinsdale Central PTO and The Community House.
Fox is a former public and private school administrator and teacher.
"I've been everywhere, and I've seen every kind of kid," she said.
She is the author of parenting and teaching books which advocate nurturing each child's own innate strengths and talents. As parents and even as educators, she said we spend too much time focusing on children's deficits — think of the class your child has a "C" in and what anguish that is causing, for example — instead of nurturing and kindling his or her strengths.
Fox earned her bachelor's degree from the University of Wisconsin, Madison and went on to earn master's degrees from both Middlebury College and Harvard University, yet she claims that as a child and teenager in the 1970s she was the kind of kid who skipped school and who regularly got "bad" grades. As a teen today, she might be branded a "problem student" and our expectations for her future might be rather low, and yet we see an accomplished and credible educator, author and public speaker in her.
"So many people believe that their kids' achievements are their reports cards," Fox said.
She illustrated that point with a graphic of a cars' rear windshield decorated with college names, sports teams and kids' honor roll status.
"Every single person has a gift inside," she said.
Our job has parents is to find that gift and nurture it. Their strengths are their innate qualities — which can include anything such as designing, organizing, connecting, listening, inventing, recovering, failing, learning, competing and creating — and if these can combine with a talent and an interest, this is a child who will grow up to be a success.
According to Fox, one of the fast growing departments at many of the nation's top universities are those that offer counseling and mental health services. Focus less on how well your kids are doing intellectually, she said, and instead look at how they are doing emotionally. Fox's book for parents is "Your Child's Strengths: Discover Them, Develop Them, Use Them."
I am always glad to listen to the speakers and topics our community schools have offered in this series. They have been enlightening, encouraging and certainly provocative. In February, the series will continue with Dr. Kenneth Ginsburg talking about "Resilience: the Greatest Gift You Can Give Your Child." In May, Jack Myers will talk about "Hooked Up — How Kids and Technology are Changing the World Today."

Employers distributing health insurance premium rebates directly to employees
are required to withhold employment taxes on the amounts when the rebates are
for pre-tax premium contributions, the Internal Revenue Service said.
The health insurance rebates to employers and participants of
employer-sponsored health plans are required to be disbursed by Aug. 1 under a
provision of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Pub. L.
The law requires health insurance companies that issue policies to do this
when spending less than 80 percent of premiums on medical care and quality (or
less than 85 percent in the large group market) the prior year. The medical loss
ratio rebate amount is the portion of premium dollars that exceed these
As a result, employer-sponsored plans could receive more than $700 million in
rebates this year for appropriate distribution between the employer contribution
amount and employee contributions, according to the Department
of Health and Human Services.
While there is some flexibility in how the rebates are passed on to
employees, several scenarios covered in a
question-and-answer format by IRS said that 2012 rebate amounts to employees
for pre-tax premiums, such as premiums paid under a qualified Internal Revenue
Code Section 125 plan, are subject to employment taxes.
How the rebate is paid to employees determines the level of involvement for
payroll, said Martin Armstrong, CPP, senior director of payroll shared services
for Time Warner Cable and a member of Bloomberg BNA's Payroll Library Advisory
Rebates applied in a manner to reduce the amount of pre-tax employee premium
payments would correspondingly increase taxable wage amounts. In this scenario,
no special effort is necessary to account for the rebated amounts for payroll
tax purposes.
However, if employers determine that the rebates would be distributed as cash
payments to employees who have pre-tax premium amounts deducted from pay, then
those cash payments are to be included in employee taxable wages, with
additional employment taxes withheld.
As employer plan administrators determine how to distribute the rebates to
the affected employees, payroll professionals should collaborate with their
counterparts in benefits to discuss various scenarios, Armstrong said. In
addition, transparent communication should be provided to affected employees so
that they understand what makes the rebates subject to federal income tax and,
from an employer's perspective, wages subject to employment taxes, he said.

Kenosha police investigate death of 3-month-old girl
Updated On: Nov 13 2013 02:04:55 PM CST
Kenosha police said Wednesday that they are investigating the death of an infant.
Lt. Brad Kemen said rescue personnel from the fire department were called around 5 a.m. to assist a 3-month-old girl who was unconscious and not breathing.
First responders were unable to revive the girl and she was pronounced dead at the scene.
Kemen said the initial investigation indicated the 3-month-old was sharing a bed with her 15-month-old sibling as well as her parents.
A cause of death has not been determined. An autopsy is being scheduled for Thursday.

If you've ever dabbled in the creation of crazy sound effects for home movies, other-worldly audio to complement the battle sequences in a new alien gaming app or strange new loops for digital dance music, you quickly start to appreciate just what a complicated process sound design can be. What with noise generation, pulse and velocity modulation, parallel and series filters, and various other filters, oscillators and envelopes to contend with, the process can hardly be described as fun. A new sample-based synthesizer suite from iZotope seeks to change all that. Both a powerful tool for design pros and an enjoyable and easy way for newbies to dive in and experiment, Iris allows users to manipulate, tweak and layer sounds using the kind of visual editing tools you might find in graphic design packages and discover otherwise hidden sonic treasures.

Growing out a of a research project led by Kenmochi Hideki at Spain's Pompeu Fabra University in 2000, Yamaha's Vocaloid is a singing synthesizer that lets those with a voice like Roseanne Barr after a big night out synthesize more pleasing vocals by inputting lyrics and melody. While the current commercial version of Vocaloid 3 requires these inputs to be prepared on a PC prior to a performance, Yamaha has now developed a Vocaloid keyboard prototype that lets users input lyrics and melody and generate a singing voice in real time.

Whether it's people who can't speak, or musicians looking for a new way of expressing themselves, both may end up benefiting from an experimental new gesture-to-voice synthesizer. The system was created at the University of British Columbia, by a team led by professor of electrical and computer engineering Sidney Fels. Users just put on a pair of sensor-equipped gloves, then move their hands in the air – based on those hand movements, the synthesizer is able to create audible speech. Read More
The Vortex: the world's first USB/MIDI Keytar Controller
Noted rock vocalist and bass player Glenn Hughes (Trapeze, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, and more recently Black Country Communion) has often been quoted as saying that, for him, much of the 1980s was just a blur. It's probably just as well, or he might have had a hard time dealing with the emergence of the keytar - a strap-on keyboard that has a little neck with a number of parameter-changing buttons on it. Okay, I admit it, I'm not a great fan of the Jan Hammers and Jean-Michel Jarres of this world, but those who want to emulate these digital music innovators without digging deep for a Korg, Roland or Moog original can now rejoice with the release of the world's first USB/MIDI keytar - the Vortex from Alesis.

Konkreet Labs hacks MeeBlip into "Synth in a Book"
It's probably best to make clear from the outset that Konkreet Labs' Synth in a Book is, for now, one of a kind. But as a demonstration of just what can be done with a MeeBlip hackable synthesizer kit, it may just be the perfect specimen. Though this particular hack may not be for the faint of heart, MeeBlip's range of synths include all-in-one kits suitable, MeeBlip says, for everyone. Read More
Review: The Kitara digital guitar synthesizer
Way back in January 2010, a short demo video of a new digital instrument prototype was posted on YouTube by its creator Michael Zarimis, and went viral. From the millions of views, a list of prospective buyers was drawn up and the Misa Digital Guitar soon began its journey towards commercial availability. By the time the next CES show arrived, the instrument had ditched its gleaming white ABS plastic casing and gone over to the dark side, received a few design modifications, and been officially named Kitara for its public debut. The Kitara has now been made available for purchase, and I've spent the last few weeks getting to grips with this innovative new instrument - being rewarded for inventive experimentation and punished for bad playing technique.

Roland ships authentically expressive JUPITER-80 Synthesizer
Roland says that realism is at the very heart of its new Jupiter-80 performance synth. The company claims that the kind of expressive acoustic instrument authenticity delivered by its analog sound modeling technology simply couldn't have been made available before now. Studio and live performers can access a huge bank of preset sounds which are said to go beyond mere sampling of acoustic, electric, orchestral and ethnic instruments, then manipulate those sounds into something vintage, modern or futuristic, or create and store their own layered sonic stacks. Control of the action comes courtesy of a touchscreen display and numerous buttons, knobs and sliders. Read More
Mobile music-making apps like Amplitube and GarageBand have proven themselves to be popular, powerful and versatile additions to the digital toolbox of both bedroom enthusiast and professional alike. Dedicated computer software is by no means dead in the water yet, though, as evidenced by the new releases from Native Instruments. The computer-based music production and performance specialist has announced new versions of its Guitar Rig amp and effects package and Kontakt sampler, and the multi-product Komplete bundle.
