People Travel on different airline to JFKMay 1, 20141I have a friends son who is travelling to JFK on his own (16) with Delta from LHR and joining us to fly onto Savannah. We are travelling with BA on the same day and arrive within 30 minutes of each other. Therefore we arrive at different terminals and I wonder what is the best place for us to meet as I presume there is not a central passport control area so need advice about how to find each other?CarolineThu, May 1

ControlNov 2, 20132Hello, Do we have to queue the same way for passeport control (I am french) then leaving the us than when arriving from abroad (when arriving we had to wait about 45 mn). How long do we plan to wait ?FredSat, Nov 2Only international arrivals need to go through passport control. JFK has 6 terminals, each with specific airlines - if you need to change terminals, I suggest you open www.ifly.com/jfk, then click on 'Terminal Map' under 'QUICK LINKS', and scroll down to the detailed text.sanov13Sat, Nov 2

TransitJul 30, 20131Hi! I will arrive at 1357hrs on 3 August 2013 via Delta Domestic Flight from Baltimore to JFK airport terminal 2. I need to wait for my transit at JFK airport terminal 4 to Singapore via Singapore Airline SQ, depart at 2050hrs on 3 August 2013. Hence, there is 7 hours of wait. I would like to enquire regarding the baggage check in. Can I re-check in my luggage when I arrive JFK airport right after the security check and custom clearance? or do I need to wait till 2 hours before I depart from JFK airport to Singapore? Do you mind telling me the flow of transiting, will be greatly appreciated? Thank you.A.CMon, Jul 29It sounds like your bags won't be checked through to your Singapore flight. If so, you will take them from the baggage claim and then on the AirTrain/Air Terminals Train to Terminal 4. I imagine the Singapore counter opens more than 2 hours before departure, probably 3 hours I would guess. You will not go through any customs in JFK. After you check your bags with Singapore you just go through security and to your gate in T4.ZAPTue, Jul 30
Can I accompany my mom until security check?Dec 2, 20134My mom has been booked with wheelchair assistance. She is afraid and it is her first flight. Can I join her until the security check or until she is on the wheel chair with assistanceTejThu, Jul 11You can go with her to the security line. Since she has wheelchair assistance, the check-in counter may also be able to give you a gate pass that would allow you to go to the gate. It never hurts to ask.ZAPThu, Jul 11Sorry I missed to update the thread. No it did not work. We were not allowed to join my Mom and we were denied the gate pass too. My mother was assisted by the security itself. And it was a bad experience. She was feeling dehydrated and we requested for a fresh juice. we tipped and paid the person assisting. He took my mom inside and left her somewhere and went away. Luckily she had a phone to call me back and inform me about this. Later I had to work with the officer near the check in and blasted them. It was found later that the person had told another person to take my mom to the security gate and he had gone to assist someone. Niether my mom was given a juice nor could we trace him as we didnt know who he was.!! later our flight checkin officer apologised for what hpnd and they arranged for her juice for which I had to pay again!!TejMon, Dec 2

Terminal 8May 26, 20131We will be returning to the USA from TXL (Air Berlin) to AUS (AA) with a stop over in JFK. The layover time is 90 minutes. Will we have enough time to make the connection? We are elderly, my husband is 84 yrs old and disabled, cannot walk very fast. If I get wheelchair service for him will they also help with his bags. Thank you!CMESat, May 25As international arrivals at the U.S. you you need to go through passport check, retrieve checked bags, go through customs clearance and - if transferring to another flight - re-check-in bag. In your favor: Air Berlin and American are both using Terminal 8. Also, they belong to the same 'Oneworld' Alliance - meaning your bags will be automatically transferred after you go through customs & re-check-in bags. Proceed to the Departures level, go through security check, and on to your Concourse (either Concourse B with gates 1-16 or Concourse C with gates 31-17. Overhead screens will indicate flight and gate numbers. You have plenty of time. Yes, contacting your airline to have a wheelchair ready at arrival is a good idea!sumay13Sun, May 26
Connection flightMar 18, 20132Dear all, i'll flight on April, 26th from Milan to Orlando and i have to stop over in London and Jfk - all flights with AA. I'll only have 11 hour and 40 minutes in jfk - will it be enough? I've to clear custom, take baggage and re-ckeck right? Thank you!JessicaThu, Mar 14Do you have 1 hour 40 minutes or 11 hours and 40 minutes? If only 1 hour 40 minutes it might be tight but everything will at least be in the same terminal. Yes, you are correct on what you have to do when arriving at JFK.ZAPThu, Mar 14

Airline Terminal TrainJan 24, 20132Hi My friend is arriving international at T8 and transferring to T5. After he has cleared immigration and picked up his luggage, where should my friend go to find Airline Terminal Train to take him to T5? Thankful for detailed instructions as his spoken English is almost non-existent.AnitaWed, Jan 23No language skills are needed at JFK - international sign are clearly understandable. Terminal Maps are also posted - the Airline Terminal Train circle is marked in yellow. See: http://www.panynj.gov/airports/jfk-airport-map.html. After boarding train at T8, the next stops are T7, then T5. At T5 he needs to proceed to the departure level, go through security check and on to his departure gate. NOTE: if your friend's first airline does not transfer bags to connecting airline, he needs to take his bags to T5 and check them in at the connecting airline's desk before proceeding to his gate.wejan13Wed, Jan 23

Over the last 24 hours, the House has grown more opposed to the Senate's measure, with many members weighing in against it but support staying the same.
As of now, there are three times as many opponents in the House (51) as supporters (17), according to The Fix's whip count.
Also, the ranks of skeptics and those against military action are now larger than those who support it and are undecided.
The latest breakdown:
A day after testifying before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, President Obama's top national security aides likely face a tougher examination of the administration's plans for military intervention in Syria from House Republicans and skeptical Democrats.
Secretary of State John Kerry, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and Gen. Martin Dempsey are again set to testify before the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
Stay tuned below for the latest updates.
Today's hearing is taking place in the House, but the Senate's version of the resolution came under fire Wednesday when Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said he opposed the new language crafted by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Here's the report from Post Politics:
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said Wednesday that he opposes the Syria use-of-force resolution as crafted by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
McCain has pushed for more active military involvement, but is concerned senators have sought to lessen the president's authority in the language used in the resolution.
"In its current form, I do not" support it, McCain told AP.
McCain's departure demonstrates the fine line members are walking in crafting the resolution. Most opponents of the resolution would prefer no military action at all. McCain and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) have suggested they may oppose the resolution if it's too weak.
The Senate resolution was crafted after the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Tuesday held a hearing featuring Secretary of State John Kerry, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey.
The resolution is being marked up Wednesday in the committee, so McCain's opposition may not be final.
Over the last 24 hours, the House has grown more opposed to the Senate's measure, with many members weighing in against it but support staying the same.
As of now, there are three times as many opponents in the House (51) as supporters (17), according to The Fix's whip count.
Also, the ranks of skeptics and those against military action are now larger than those who support it and are undecided.
The latest breakdown:
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin weighs in on the United States' deliberations over military action in Syria in a new interview with AP.
The highlights, from the Post's Will Englund:
MOSCOW — President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday warned the United States and its allies against launching a unilateral military strike against Damascus, saying the West's case against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad doesn't stand up to scrutiny.
In an interview published Wednesday by the Associated Press, Putin said Russia is developing a plan of action in case the United States does attack Syria without United Nations approval, but he declined to go into specifics.
He said Russia — Syria's most stalwart ally — has frozen the shipment of certain parts for S-300 anti-aircraft missiles that it had agreed to sell to Assad's regime.
Putin said that if the United States and its allies could provide sufficient evidence that Assad's forces carried out a chemical weapons attack on Aug. 21 in a Damascus suburb, Russia would consider allowing United Nations action against Syria.
But Putin told the Associated Press that he remains skeptical, in part because it seems unlikely that Assad would risk international repercussion by using long-banned chemical weapons to kill hundreds of men, women and children.
"It ought to be convincing," Putin said. "It shouldn't be based on some rumors and information obtained by the special services through some kind of eavesdropping, some conversations and things like that."
The lengthy interview took place at his country residence late Tuesday night, with both the Associated Press and Russian television's First Channel in attendance. Putin touched on his country's relations with the United States, his sometimes "vexed" but generally constructive relations with Obama, and a host of other topics — including Syria, Snowden, gay rights and Moscow mayoral candidate Alexei Navalny.
"This man brings problems wherever he appears," Putin said of Navalny, Russia's most famous anti-corruption campaigner. Navalny, who memorably labeled Putin's United Russia the "party of crooks and thieves," is currently appealing a six-year sentence for extortion on charges that he claims were trumped up at the Kremlin's behest.
"President Obama hasn't been elected by the American people in order to be pleasant to Russia," he said. "And your humble servant hasn't been elected by the people of Russia to be pleasant to someone either."
About Obama, he said, "We work, we argue about some issues. We are human. Sometimes one of us gets vexed. But I would like to repeat once again that global mutual interests form a good basis for finding a joint solution to our problems."
On Syria, Putin emphasized the points that he and other Russian officials have made previously: He said it would have been "ludicrous" for Assad's forces to use chemical weapons, when the whole world was watching and they were gaining the upper hand against the rebels.
Anti-war Code Pink protesters, who often interrupt such hearings and did so Tuesday in the Senate, are in the room for today's hearing.

After Tuesday's three-and-a-half hour hearing before the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee, today the House gets its turn to grill Secretary of State John F. Kerry, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and General Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Kerry, who noted that his first appearance in the committee room had been when he was a 27-year-old activist, faced the vast majority of questions as he insisted "the president is not asking you to go to war."
Expect committee members to pick up on his "boots on the ground" comments from Tuesday and ask whether the Obama administration would consider sending American military personnel into Syria in any circumstances.
At one point during Tuesday's Senate committee hearing, the secretary of state appeared to suggest that was a possibility.
"I don't want to take off the table an option that might or might not be on the table," he said, before quickly revisiting the issue to clarify that he wanted to "shut that door now as tight as we can."
Kerry insisted that he had addressed a "hypothetical question," and said "there will not be American boots on the ground with respect to the civil war."
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel may also face more questions than he tackled Tuesday, considering his bruising experience at the hands of House Republicans during his confirmation hearings.
Some members have cast doubt on the Obama administration's belief that the Syrian regime used chemical weapons. House Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Ed Royce (R-Calif.) is not one of them.
During his opening remarks, Royce referred to Syria's "odious use of chemical weapons."
Royce is considered undecided on the use of military force, according to The Fix's vote tracker.
Royce used his opening statement to reflect on the tough decision ahead.
"The administration's Syria policy doesn't build confidence," Royce said. "It is a cliche but true: There are no good answers."
The hearing has begun, but Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey are not yet at the witness table.
Fear not, though, as committee Chairman Ed Royce (R-Calif.) just said they willarrive shortly.
Rep. Eliot Engel (D-NY), the ranking Democrat on the committee, opens his remarks with a warning that the United States must launch limited military action in order to send a message to Iran and North Korea.
"I strongly agreed with President Obama that the United States must respond to this flagrant violation of international law with a limited military strike…but the issue we confront today is much bigger," he said.
"We are talking about the credibility of America as a global power."
Engel argued that air strikes would also be about sending a message "to dictators in Tehran and Pyongyang."
He said "Iran in particular is watching very closely" to see if there are consequences for flouting international laws.
Engel continued: "If we do not pass the authorization measure, what message will Assad get? What message will Tehran get?"
Secretary of State John Kerry repeated much of his opening statement from Tuesday's Senate hearing, reinforcing the administration's argument that there is no doubt the Syrian regime is responsible for the use of chemical weapons.
"This is not the time for armchair isolationism," he said.
Kerry added: "We're here because a dictator and his family's enterprise … were willing to infect the air of Damascus" with chemical weapons.
"Some people in a few places, amazingly against all evidence, have questioned whether this took place," Kerry said.
Kerry said Tuesday that the evidence would be enough to sentence someone to death. Wednesday, he said it would be enough for a life sentence.
Kerry continued: "It did happen, and the Bashar al-Assad regime did it. .. I can tell you beyond a reasonable doubt the evidence proves that the Assad regime prepared this attack and that they attacked exclusively opposition-controlled or -contested territory."
The Senate's hearing on its new Syria use of force resolution has been delayed, the Post's Ed O'Keefe reports:
A hearing scheduled to begin consideration of a new resolution authorizing U.S. military action in Syria has been delayed amid reports that the panel might not vote on the proposal Wednesday.
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee was scheduled to begin meeting at 11:30 a.m., but had yet to begin meeting more than 45 minutes later.
Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) told the Associated Press that there might not be a vote on the new resolution Wednesday, as scheduled. That comes amid reports that Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) — a leading GOP voice on national security issues — is opposed to the wording of the new resolution.
Later, Sen. James Risch (R-Idaho) emerged from a closed-door meeting of the committee to say it was his "sense" that panel would still vote on the resolution today.

The Death Of Global Warming Skepticism, Or The Birth Of Straw Men
Muller acknowledged that many of the stations produced incomplete temperature records and had poor quality control. He claimed that he nevertheless included them in the study to avoid "data-selection bias." Scientists such as Anthony Watts have pointed out several additional flaws in the Muller paper. But let's assume, for the sake of argument, that Muller's paper is flawless in its conclusion that two-thirds of land-based temperature stations report warming rather than cooling. Even under such an assumption, Muller's paper does nothing to dispel skeptical objections to the theory that humans are causing a global warming crisis.

It is possible, even from the great distance of Maine, to hear the DC press corps exhale with a collective "OMiGod" at the remarkably ignorant declaration of Republican Congressman Trent Franks, who […]
It is a time of fear in the face of freedom, a time of an emptying country and swelling cities, a time for the widening of previous roads and the opening of new paths, yet a time when these paths are mined by knowing algorithms of the all-seeing eye. It is the time of the warrior's peace and the miser's charity, when the planting of a seed is an act of conscientious objection. These are the times when maps fade, old landmarks crumble and direction is lost. Forwards is backwards now, so we glance sideways at the strange lands through which we are all passing, knowing for certain only that our destination has disappeared. We are unready to meet these times, but we proceed nonetheless, adapting as we wander, reshaping the Earth with every tread. Behind us we have left the old times, the standard times, the high times. Welcome to the irregular times.
In the U.S. House of Representatives last week, Congressman Trent Franks and a long list of Republican cosponsors introduced H.R. 447, "A bill to prohibit discrimination against the unborn on the basis of sex or race, and for other purposes; to the Committee on the Judiciary."
Discrimination on the basis of race against anybody sounds […]
The issue isn't what's happening in Syria at the moment. It isn't cutting spending. The issue is nuclear weapons. Too many members of Congress favor the expansion of America's nuclear weapons, and don't care to even try to control the spread of nuclear weapons out of Russia. […]

The primary role of GE's Board of Directors is to oversee how management serves the interests of shareowners and other stakeholders. To do this, GE's Directors have adopted corporate governance principles aimed at ensuring that the Board is independent and fully informed on the key risks and strategic issues facing GE. GE has met its goal to have two-thirds of its Board be independent under a strict definition of independence. Today, 16 of GE's 17 Directors are independent.
The GE Board held 14 meetings in 2013, including three meetings of the non-management directors of the Board. Each outside Board member is expected to visit at least two GE businesses without the involvement of corporate management in order to develop his or her own feel for the Company. Board members focus on the areas that are important to shareowners – strategy, risk management, leadership development, and regulatory and compliance matters. In 2013, they received briefings on a variety of issues, including capital allocation and business development, risk management with a focus on GE Capital, business simplification, GE Customer Opinion Surveys, leadership development, technology excellence, IT and cyber security, global research and development strategy, industrial internet initiatives and GE's branding, marketing and operating initiatives. At the end of the year, the Board and each of its committees conducted a thorough self-evaluation.

"Addictive ! Addictive!"
I have read all the books in this series and this is by far the best. This is book number 8 called Shalador's Lady. It is tightly packed with the missing action from the previous book, because now is the time for our characters to dig in and fight for who they want to rule Dena Nehele. That's right... another Queen from Kaeleer stirs things up. There are three divisions in this book: Cassidy and her Court, Kermilla and those who want her, and the sideline observers--the SaDiablo family and some important rulers of Kaeleer. The reader builds a deeper understanding of the ruling system of the Blood and which lines are not to be crossed. How involved should outside help be in the influencing a Territory, especially when that Territory is straining under a tug-of-war for leadership? How to fight for land and people without decimating what's left with war? There are hard decisions to be made, in order to accomplish the original premise of The Shadow Queen--restoring faith and the Old Ways of the Blood to weary and wary survivors of Dena Nehele. Fascinating, how this plays out.
"OH! my goodness!"
I enjoy this book immensely could not put it down I must say Anne Bishop writes a good book.I like the main Characters and seeing how they gradually change as the book progress.
Meg Corbyn is a Cassandra sangue (Blood Prophet) and has run away from her keepers. And when I say `keepers,' I mean that literally. After all, Meg isn't even known by a name, she has a designation -a number - she is known as CS759 . She has never experienced anything ever that may stimulate her. All that she knows of the world was taught to her via pictures and edited film clips while sitting in a classroom filled with others like her. She is there for one specific purpose, to be a Prophet. One that needs to be cut/sliced in a very specific way to make her predictions. Since her keeper/Controller can receive huge amounts of money for her predictions, she is being hunted extensively now that she has run away. She has run right into Lakeside, a sort of town that caters to the Others but also in a small way to the Humans.
The Others - the terra indigene are shape shifters, vampires and Elementals that do not like, do not trust, do not need the humans. In this world, the Others rule and by that I mean that if the humans do something in this territory that the Others don't like - the human becomes a meal. After all Human Laws Do Not Apply here. Can hardly wait for the next installment
"Yes! Yes! Yes!!!"
All I can say is YES lol .Kim Harrison puts out another non stop action plot with occasional catch your breath pauses.The moment I 've been waiting for Trent and Racheal recognizing there attraction...sparks are igniting in this book, Can't wait for the next book..a whole year away :(
The plot was funny and very entertaining...I could not put it down.However one thing that always erks me is how all the women of London society always lose there head and can't seem to keep there virginity in tact after being kissed or touch by a man lol.....is there one book where the women of that period does not go all stary eye after a mere kiss.Or maintain her virginity without the man being the one to have the sense or is gentleman enough to stop before her reputation is destroy... the regency period is a good break from the paranormal which I have been stuck in lol....
While I did enjoy Betrayed more than I initially thought I would, it could do with a bit of housecleaning to rid itself of too much coincidence and too little realistic interaction among the teens. I also think that much of the "vampyre" rituals seem to be more "witch-like" than they should be. But in general I did enjoy the story and I still like the whole idea of The House of Night and creepy undead creatures and people who aren't what they seem to be. I'd love to give this one 3.5 stars for general entertainment.
"Tear Jerker"
I just love reading this book or should I say listen :) (Audiobook). Could not put it down it had a little of everything..that at times it brought tears to my eye. This is a must read.
"Sucky! Sucky! Now"
Bishop has created a masterpiece with the entire series and Twilight's Dawn is no exception. The short stories advance quickly yet smoothly through time. If she decides to finish this series, she did it on a great note.Things that I've been wondering about were answered.
"mystery and intrigue"
This book was a lot better I finish it in record time.I can hardly wait for the next book.The Rogue, the second book in Trudi Canavan's Traitor Spy Trilogy, picks up right where The Ambassador's Mission left off.Since anyone thinking about reading The Rogue has surely read the preceding book, I'm not going to delve into the plot much. Suffice to say, all the old cast of characters are back and Canavan introduces one new face, Lilia - a budding magician trying to fit in.The book ends with two cliff hangers and The only bad thing I can say about this book is that now I have to wait eight months for the next one to come out!!!!
"love vampirers"
Samantha Willan is a workaholic lawyer. She's grateful for some rest and relaxation in cottage country, and after a recent breakup she wants to stay as far away from romance as possible. Then she meets her irresistible new neighbor. There's something strange and mysterious about his eyes. Is it just her imagination, or are they locked on her neck?

Got Game? Consumer Reports puts fitness games to the test
Some games got more game than others when it comes to fitness.
That's what Consumer Reports discovered when they pitted five of the most popular workout titles against each other in head-to-head testing.
Enlisting a squad of fitness freaks, Consumer Reports had their gamer lab rats score the titles on six factors ranging from fun to conditioning elements.
Each of the five games tested required the optional motion controls for the three gaming consoles: Wii Remote for Nintendo Wii U, the PlayStation Move and Eye for the Sony PlayStation3, and the Kinect for the Microsoft Xbox 360.
"Kinect games have a distinct advantage in this category since they track your full body movements, though accuracy varies from game to game," concluded the testers.
On top of the workout heap, Nike+ Kinect Training got the nod for the best overall workout, while Zumba Fitness hit the second place sweet spot for combining fun playability with solid cardio drills.
Worst of the bunch: UFC Personal Trainer, with reviewers quipping, "We found that the 'mountain climber' exercises during the warm-up session were the most taxing in the workout, and that's not a good sign."
In the middle of the pack, Just Dance 4 and Your Shape Evolved 2013 didn't fare much better with both labeled lightweight workouts at best.

October 28, 2006
By Andrew Dew
-- It was Saturday afternoon in October. My dad had taken a button buck and my friend had taken a doe that morning. We were doing our usual weekend hunting in Montgomery County, Georgia, on a leased 85-acre piece of property. It was me, my dad Bill, my friend Mark and his dad Wayne and Wayne's nephew Jordan. I was in a stand the guys call my home because I spend so much time there. It's a 10-foot high, four by six foot box stand that Mark built in 2005.
That's where I was when I took my first deer, a doe, with my Winchester 12-gauge. After a very long search, my dad and I never recovered that doe. I was also in that same stand when I saw the biggest buck of my life November 12, 2005, my thirty-second birthday. I saw him for a split second and wasn't able to get a shot.
Earlier in the day, Dad took his buck with his Savage .30-06. Jordan took his deer at a hunting club about 10 minutes away with Mark's Remington .30-06 semi-auto. I'd purchased a .30-30 Winchester 94 from Wayne prior to the 2006 season.
The afternoon light was fading when I saw five deer come out. It was too difficult to see well with the iron sights to assess if the deer were legal or not. Montgomery County antler restrictions require a buck must have at least four points on one side that measure at least one inch in length. So I waited until they wandered off so I wouldn't spook them while getting out of the stand. I didn't have my flashlight so I got down with just enough light to see where I was going and met back up with my dad.
The following weekend I knew I would be in the stand Saturday afternoon unless Dad wanted to hunt there. Since he'd taken a deer that morning and knew how much I liked the stand, he told me to take it. I'd already told everyone how difficult it had been to get a good visual on the deer the previous weekend, so Mark told me to use his Remington with the scope. I was sure to be able to see deer well enough to have a chance at a legal deer within legal shooting hours.
I got in the stand around 2:30 that afternoon. It was fairly warm out which it usually is in the South during the first few weeks of gun season. I loaded the gun, and used my quad-grunter call on the doe setting. I heard the deer coming out of the woods at 6:10. As usual, I starting shaking and my heart was pounding. Some call it buck fever, but I call it deer fever because I have the same reaction, whether it's a buck or doe, large or small.
A big doe was first out on the trail, followed by another doe and two yearlings. I took off the safety, aimed and squeezed the trigger. Nothing! Then I noticed when I loaded the gun that I didn't push the receiver all the way forward. The deer were 10 to 15 yards away, steadily moving toward the other side of the dirt trail to enter woods on the other side. As quietly as I could, I pulled the receiver back and shut it all the way. SNAP! The deer took off running. All I saw were white flags heading into the woods and out of sight.
To my amazement a fifth deer was in the pack, farther behind, another doe. I was so upset and frustrated at myself for making such a stupid mistake. I sat there and started praying, thinking I had missed another opportunity to take a deer. I started calling again with the can and grunt call. I kept looking at this one particular trail where the group of does from the previous year had come from.
Lo and behold. Around 6:40, nearly 30 minutes after I'd made enough noise to frighten off the group, they had circled around and returned. The big doe was third in line this time. I waited until I had a clear shot and put the cross hairs right on the vitals and squeezed the trigger. The doe dropped right there, so I didn't have to worry about not being able to track this deer. I was so pumped and excited. I immediately thanked God for letting me harvest such a wonderful deer.
I only waited about five minutes because I could tell the doe down for good and walked back to meet up with Dad. I thought I heard a shot near his location and asked if he had shot, but he said it was someone down the road. He asked if I'd gotten anything, and I could not contain the smile.
He helped me get the big doe out. It weighed in at 140 pounds. I called my wife and two kids as soon as I got my cell phone turned on. They were excited for me, and I was wishing that they could be there. But whether they knew it or not they had been with me the same way they are with me everywhere I go. I'd worn an old piece of cut off sleeve from a camo shirt that my son gave me for good luck. That night Dad reminded me this weekend—the weekend of the Florida Gators and George Bulldogs football game—was the same weekend my grandpa had taken a nice 8-point buck in Florida years earlier. It had been three years today that my grandpa had passed away on October 28, 2003, so I'd dedicated this day to him. Who would have thought that Dad and I would both take deer on this same day? And, to top off a great weekend, the Gators won.

This Essay tells the story of U.S. feminist legal scholarship1 through the lens of some of the important work published in this field by the California Law Review (CLR). Its purpose is not to survey every contribution of feminist legal thought. Rather, through a few "deep dives," it examines the significance of six specific exemplars, using them to explain the evolution and contributions of feminist legal scholarship, as well as the role CLR has played in the development of this field. I examine six articles: Herma Hill Kay's Making Marriage and Divorce Safe for Women,2 Christine Littleton's Restructuring Sexual Equality,3 Kathryn Abrams's Hearing the Call of Stories,4 Francisco Valdes's Queers, Sissies, Dykes, and Tomboys: Deconstructing the Conflation of "Sex," "Gender," and "Sexual Orientation" in Euro-American Law and Society,5 Linda Krieger's Civil Rights Perestroika: Intergroup Relations After Affirmative Action,6 and Reva Siegel's Constitutional Culture, Social Movement Conflict and Constitutional Change: The Case of the De Facto ERA.7
The scholarship I will describe emerged from a history that began roughly in the early 1970s.8 Before that time, the few pieces of feminist legal scholarship were by legal practitioners, not law professors.9 The first legal academic to undertake a comprehensive critique of the treatment of women in American law was University of California, Berkeley, School of Law (herein "Boalt Hall" or "Boalt") graduate Leo Kanowitz, then a law professor at the University of New Mexico School of Law. In Women and the Law: An Unfinished Revolution, Kanowitz examined the Supreme Court's highly deferential approach to sex-based classifications, and urged the Court to overrule equal protection precedents. If the Court did not extend a robust version of equal protection to sex-based classifications, he argued, Congress and spelled out the difference the ERA would make, if passed.These articles were cited in legal briefs filed in the string of U.S. Supreme Court cases after Reed that invalidated sex-based classifications under what emerged as "intermediate" equal protection scrutiny.Along with this general scholarship, feminist legal scholars in the 1970s also produced critiques of state and federal laws in specific fields where gender injustice was most apparent, including property,and the states should enact the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA).10 Subsequent scholarship further flushed out the case for a heightened standard of review in sex discrimination cases based on a straightforward analogy to race discrimination11 12 13 14 employment,15 the family,16 sexual violence,17 and the legal profession.18 Some of this scholarship was published in the handful of specialized journals that were started in the 1970s to provide an outlet for sex discrimination scholarship.19
It is noteworthy that while the work of early feminist scholars was cited in some Supreme Court briefs and influenced the level of constitutional scrutiny that courts should use to review sex-based classifications,20 legal scholarship had little, if any, impact on the most critical advances in the law in the 1960s and 1970s. For example, no feminist legal scholarship helped formulate, or advocate for, the two most important pieces of federal legislation designed to equalize women's workplace opportunities—the Equal Pay Act of 1963 and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.21 Likewise, feminist legal scholars did not develop the logic that supported the Supreme Court's decision in Roe v. Wade, identifying a woman's right to choose an abortion.22
The fact is that in the early 1970s, there were very few women in the legal academy,23 and sex discrimination was not a recognized field of study or research. The first "Women and the Law" course did not exist until 1969, at NYU,24 and the first two sex discrimination casebooks were not published until 1974 and 1975, respectively.25 Reflecting the roots of the early scholarship in women's experiences as feminist advocates, the authors of these casebooks were engaged in reforming the law, as well as writing about it.26 Their work launched a field that, for more than three decades, has generated a rich body of legal scholarship.
This Essay reviews six selections from that body of work, all published by the California Law Review. I start with Herma Hill Kay's Making Marriage and Divorce Safe for Women, published by the California Law Review in 1972.27 Although in the form of a book review,28 the Essay is a jumping off point for a broad critique of marriage law from a feminist perspective. Like most feminist scholarship in the 1970s, it focuses on a specific legal domain—the family—and while it chooses among already-imagined legislative reforms to legislative problems, in the depth of its critique it anticipates the radical and theoretical scholarship that was to follow.
I turn then to Christine Littleton's Restructuring Sexual Equality, published in 1987, to explore the basic contours of the equality debate that dominated feminist legal scholarship in the 1980s. This period was the high-water mark of new proliferations of meanings of equality, and also saw the emergence of a series of theoretical innovations—critical legal feminism, different voice theory, and nonsubordination theory—that remain influential with respect to feminist thought.
Kathryn Abrams's Hearing the Call of Stories, published by the California Law Review in 1992, is the next marker, which I use to explore the evolution of feminist legal method. Through the lens of this work, I address some of the unique methodological contributions of feminist theory in the 1980s and 1990s, most notably the shift in emphasis from abstract logic to experience as a basis for truth, the emerging habit of constructive self-criticism within feminist legal theory, and the increasing awareness of the relationship between sexism and subordination on grounds other than sex.
I then examine feminist challenges to questions of gender identity and, in particular, the role of legal categories in regulating matters of sex and sexuality. For this examination, my text is a 377-page "project" by Francisco Valdes, Queers, Sissies, Dykes, and Tomboys: Deconstructing the Conflation of "Sex," "Gender," and "Sexual Orientation" in Euro-American Law and Society, published in 1995 by the California Law Review. In this project, Valdes explains how the relationships between sex, gender, and sexual orientation are often confused in a way that reflects, and projects, heterosexist values and constraints in law and society. The relationship between "queer theory" and feminist legal scholarship is too complicated to explore in detail in this Essay, but I briefly review the questions queer theory raises for issues of gender identity and feminist legal theory more broadly.
Finally, I analyze two relatively recent articles that represent important interdisciplinary trends in feminist scholarship. These articles are Linda Krieger's Civil Rights Perestroika: Intergroup Relations After Affirmative Action, published by the California Law Review in 1998, and Reva Siegel's Constitutional Culture, Social Movement Conflict and Constitutional Change: The Case of the de facto ERA, published in 2006. Both of these pieces focus on the interrelationship between legal and social change and, importantly, do as much to advance learning outside the boundaries of feminist scholarship as within them.
1.By feminist legal scholarship, I mean scholarship aimed at critically describing the relationship between gender and law, prescribing how that relationship might be improved, or both. Feminist scholarship generally shares a grounding in women's experience and a commitment to dismantling the existing sex-gender system. See Patricia A. Cain, Feminist Legal Scholarship, 77 IOWA L. REV. 19, 20 (1991) ("[L]egal scholarship is not feminist unless it is grounded in women's experience," and unless it seeks to "uncover the ways in which law has privileged male over female."). This Essay only concerns legal scholarship published in law reviews; the distortion this focus imposes on the history of feminism is, itself, part of the story of the history of legal scholarship. If this Essay was not tied to the evolution of law review scholarship, the account could have begun with, say, Mary Wollstonecraft in England, or with Elizabeth Cady Stanton in the United States. See MARY WOLLSTONECRAFT, A VINDICATION OF THE RIGHTS OF MEN (1790); ELIZABETH CADY STANTON, THE DECLARATION OF SENTIMENTS (1848). If it was not tied to work done by law professors, it would have started with a very substantial article written by a graduate of Boston University Law School, Blanche Crozier, in 1935. See Blanche Crozier, Constitutionality of Discrimination Based on Sex, 15 B.U. L. REV. 723 (1935), and infra notes 110–115, 121. A still different approach would have emphasized the work of legal advocates or leaders in the feminist movement in the United States or abroad. See, e.g., Pauli Murray & Mary O. Eastwood, Jane Crow and the Law: Sex Discrimination and Title VII, 34 GEO.WASH. L. REV. 232 (1965). See infra note 9 and accompanying discussion. For a fabulous historical account of women's legal equality that focuses on feminist advocates in the United States, see FRED STREBEIGH, EQUAL:WOMEN RESHAPE AMERICAN LAW (2009).

8.With few exceptions, legal scholars before this time, for whatever reason, simply did not consider women's rights a plausible scholarly subject. Of note, the most frequently cited article ever published by the California Law Review set forth in 1949 the basic framework for modern equal protection doctrine, without naming sex among the categories that might someday warrant special scrutiny. See Joseph Tussman & Jacobus tenBroek, The Equal Protection of the Laws, 37 CALIF. L. REV. 341, 355 (1949) ("Candidates [as forbidden classifications] today might be designated with relative ease—race, alienage, color, creed. . . . One would hesitate to close the list arbitrarily and foreclose the future. Another epoch might discover constitutional irrelevancies of which we are unaware."); cf. Fred R. Shapiro, The Most-Cited Law Review Articles Revisited, 71 CHI-KENT L. REV. 751, 767 (1996) (identifying Tussman & tenBroek as the fourteenth most often cited law review article).
9.For example, a co-authored 1965 article broadly criticizing the law's treatment of women was written by feminist lawyers Pauli Murray and Mary Eastwood. Murray & Eastwood, supra note 1. Murray was a well-known civil rights attorney, part of the legal team in Brown v. Board of Education, and one of the co-founders, with Ruth Bader Ginsburg, of the Women's Rights Law Reporter at Rutgers School of Law-Newark. She was also an Episcopal priest. Murray was denied admission to the University of North Carolina Law School in 1938 because of her race (she attended Howard), and denied admission to an advanced degree program at Harvard Law School in 1944 because she was a woman (she became the first black woman to receive an S.J.D. degree from Yale Law School). While she spent some time on the faculty at Brandeis University and taught law in Ghana, she does not appear to have ever been a member of a U.S. law school faculty. Her posthumously-published autobiography is PAULI MURRAY, SONG IN A WEARY THROAT: AN AMERICAN PILGRIMAGE (1987). Mary Eastwood was a career attorney in the Office of Legal Counsel at the U.S. Department of Justice. Eastwood helped to instigate the founding of the National Organization for Women. Serena Mayeri, Constitutional Choices: Legal Feminism and the Historical Dynamics of Change, 92 CALIF. L. REV. 755, 767, 786 (2004). In 1970, she wrote another law review article, arguing that the Supreme Court decisions that had denied women their rights were wrong, and that the U.S. Constitution guaranteed equality for women, with or without the Equal Rights Amendment. See Mary Eastwood, The Double Standard of Justice: Women's Rights Under the Constitution, 5 VAL. U. L.REV. 281 (1971).
10.LEO KANOWITZ, WOMEN AND THE LAW: AN UNFINISHED REVOLUTION 181, 192–96 (1969). The book was cited in briefs in Reed v. Reed, 404 U.S. 71 (1971), the case to which the Supreme Court first applied a more rigorous "rational basis" test than it had in previous challenges to sex-based legal classifications. Brief for Appellant at 10, 29, 31, 33–35, Reed v. Reed, 404 U.S. 71 (1971) (No. 70-4); Brief for Am. Veterans Comm., Inc. and NOW Legal Def. & Educ. Fund, Inc. as Amici Curiae Supporting Appellant at 13, Reed v. Reed, 404 U.S. 71 (1971) (No. 70-4); Brief of City of New York as Amicus Curiae Supporting Appellant at 14, Reed v.

12.Barbara A. Brown et al., The Equal Rights Amendment: A Constitutional Basis for Equal Rights for Women, 80 YALE L.J. 871, 899, 901 (1971). The ERA was first proposed in 1923. After the ERA passed in Congress in 1972, thirty-five states ratified it, but the time expired in 1982 before it was approved by the necessary thirty-eight states. Efforts continue to "restart" the process. For running updates, see THE EQUAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT, http://www.equalrightsamendment.org (last visited Jan. 1, 2012).

19.A group of founders that included Ruth Bader Ginsburg started The Women's Rights Law Reporter at Rutgers School of Law-Newark in 1972. This journal still exists today. The Harvard Women's Law Journal began in 1978 and also continues today. Two other journals began in 1976, but no longer exist. For a fuller history, see Katharine T. Bartlett, Feminist Canon, in LEGAL CANONS 266, 289 n.5 (J.M. Balkin & Sanford Levinson eds., 2000); Richard H. Chused, A Brief History of Gender Law Journals: The Heritage of Myra Bradwell's Chicago Legal News, 12 COLUM. J. GENDER & L. 421, 422 (2003).

20.See supra notes 10–13.
21.On the history of the addition of sex to Title VII which runs contrary to the conventional wisdom that "sex" was added to Title VII as a joke or as an effort to defeat the bill, see Mary Anne Case, Reflections on Constitutionalizing Women's Equality, 90 CALIF. L. REV. 765, 767 (2002); Jo Freeman, How "Sex" Got into Title VII: Persistent Opportunism as a Maker of Public Policy, 9 LAW &INEQ. 163, 182–83 (1991).
22.410 U.S. 113 (1973). Before Roe, in 1965 in a comprehensive article suggesting the many directions in which the right of privacy identified in Griswold v. Connecticut, 381 U.S. 479 (1965), might be expanded, Yale law professor Thomas Emerson offered one tentative sentence relating to abortion. See Thomas I. Emerson, Nine Justices in Search of a Doctrine, 64 MICH. L. REV. 219, 232 (1965) (stating that if the right to privacy includes some protection from compulsory sterilization or birth control, "the way would be open for an attack upon significant aspects of the abortion laws"). In addition, a law review article published by Mary Eastwood in 1970 contained a tantalizing suggestion about the possible equality basis of a right to abortion. See Eastwood, supra note 9, at 313 (stating that a criminal abortion statute "does not involve a direct question of denial of equality but of denial of other human rights beyond the scope of this article," but noting that "the abortion issue is not unrelated to the equality issue because the same underlying bases for court decisions denying equality of the sexes (women as reproductive instruments of the state, as dangerous to morality, and properly under the control of men) are implicit in the abortion laws").
23.In the fifty years between 1919 and 1969, a total of only fifty-one women had been hired in tenured or tenure-track positions on U.S. law faculties. Herma Hill Kay, The Future of Women Law Professors, 77 IOWA L. REV. 5, 15 (1991). By way of contrast, fifty-five women were hired to fill tenured or tenure-track positions in 1974 alone. Id. More recently, 37 percent of all law faculty members listed in The AALS Directory of Law Teachers 2008–2009 are women.

26.For example, Herma Hill Kay served from 1968–1970 as Co-Reporter for the Uniform Marriage and Divorce Act, which led the way in identifying more progressive marriage and divorce laws. Kay also supervised her students in preparing an amicus brief in Sail'er Inn v. Kirby, 485 P.2d 529 (Cal. 1971), a case that produced the first state court decision holding that sex, like race, should be treated as a suspect class under the state and federal constitutions. One of Kay's co-authors, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, practiced law with the ACLU Women's Rights Project, which she helped found. See DIANA KLEBANOW & FRANKLIN L.

dr take four?
I went back to the dr today. When she came in to the examining room I was already in the midst of a panic attack, and I think I started to cry all most immediately.I spilled my heart-wrenching depression out onto her desk, because I knew if I tried to cover it up, I would leave wanting nothing more than to hurt myself. I think I may have accurately displayed my anxiety concerning going to Saskatchewan. I whispered "I'm so incredibly afraid" and there was something about the calm mixed with sadness in my whisper that made me shiver and her realize that things were Bad. Things are really bad, worse than I think I realize. She must have said "I'm really concerned about you" three times. I'm concerned about me too. All of this fucking desperation isn't breeding creativity in any other aspect that possible suicide plans. "You're headed for the hospital" she said."yeah, you know... I don't really believe that" I responded "one would think my body would have reacted by now..." "You're getting sicker, if you're at this point, it's not that far to go until you need to be hospitalized..." I didn't really hear it. I still don't. I'm not sick. I'm not headed for the hospital; I'm just headed for another semester where, with my head barely above water, I shine academically. We talked about what I was going to do. The possibility of canceling my trip came up. She asked me what I would do if I didn't go away and I said I would just b/p and disconnect further from life. I told her I knew I would go. "what about telling your aunt?" she asked. "It would just be too awkward, even though she already knows... I don't know..." She was realistic. "You're going to binge and purge while you're there, so plan for it" she told me. I guess I will. There will most likely be a few hours where I am alone on a few days. Then there is the returning home and the week before school starts. The week here alone. The week that looks prime for executing a successful suicide. She encouraged me to try to just b/p twice a day during that week. I said that part of me had plans to have an absolute heyday in everyone's absence. At this point I think the heyday is more likely than the former. The suicide, despite all my trying to fight against temptation, seems most likely of all. No. no. no. I'm NOT going to kill myself. Not now. I'm not rational, therefore, lack the perspective needed to actually make that choice. I keep repeating that. I count pills and repeat "depression is not the time to make life or death decisions."I was hoping I would be able to see her that week before school, because I'm going to be an anxious fucking mess possibly in need of a short-term stabilization hospitalization, but she is going to still be on vacation. If things are really bad, I'm going to go and see someone else at the clinic, which is what she encouraged me to do. Things will have to be pretty fucking desperate though. Instead I'll wait and see her that second Thursday in September, the day after school starts. Essentially a month from now. A month seems like an unbearably long time to go feeling like this. A month. This last month has poured out slowly like cold molasses. It seems like ages ago now that my grandma died. That was just a month ago. Ages ago becomes four weeks when all the gears grind to a halt and you drift away. Her concern didn't come without prescriptions to get me through: 15 more clonazepam, and a script for effexor (which I should probably start tonight). She told me to go home and go to bed because "you're obviously too tired. You're not going to be able to deal with any of this until you get some rest." I just nodded because going home to bed wasn't my plan. She's right though, I do need rest, because my insomnia is coupling with my depression to make me a teary emotional mess. I have more to say, but I'm too tired.

Cumbrian mum crawled to safety after brutal beating by son
Published at 08:44, Friday, 17 February 2012
A Carlisle man who knocked his own mum unconscious after a row about his boozing has been told he faces jail.
Colin Davy, 35, of no fixed abode, had been taken in by his mother earlier this month when he found himself homeless.
Carlisle Magistrates' Court heard how he repaid Audrey McKai by brutally assaulting her.
Davy has a number of mental health problems and had threatened Ms McKai in the past.
But she agreed to let him stay with her as long as he didn't drink.
On Wednesday, she suspected he had broken his promise and challenged him.
Prosecutor Jane Mackrill said that all Ms McKai could remember was standing up, then regaining consciousness on her living room floor as blows were rained down on her head.
Ms Mackrill told the court: "He was thumping her hard. She moved her hand to a sore point on her face and felt blood.
"She wasn't sure if he was punching or kicking her but she thought he was going to kill her.
"She could see a pool of her blood on the carpet," she added.
When Davy eventually stopped, Ms McKai managed to crawl to her back door and escape down the path to shout for help from neighbours.
She had suffered numerous cuts to her face and the back of her head.
Davy fractured a bone in his hand during the attack.
Defence solicitor Martin McAllister said his client was troubled but had shown remorse and regret for his behaviour.
The magistrates decided that their sentencing powers – of a maximum six months in prison – were not enough to deal with Davy.
The case was committed to Carlisle Crown Court and he was remanded in custody until sentencing there on March 16.

Daily Public Domain Images 13 July 2011: Digi-stamps for OWH #4: Peacocks, Pagoda, Pyramids, Flowers, and Sentiments
Well, the week is just rolling along here! I want to thank everyone for their nice comments. I really appreciate the feedback! I hope you find these digital stamps useful!
To SAVE any image, click on it to view it full-sized, and then right-click to save it to your computer. Feel free to use these images any way you want – they are made from public domain / no use restriction images or from my own word art of various sentiments. Attribution is NOT necessary, but would be nice. Sharing the link with your friends would be even nicer! Thanks! (If you want to follow me on Networked Blogs on Facebook, or on Twitter, or other social media, there are buttons in the right hand column.) Comments to let me know you like these or to suggest images / sentiments you want / need are most welcome. Oh, and links / emails etc. to show how you used these will help to inspire me to continue to create them. Thanks again!
Okay, as promised, I have peacocks, so I will start off with those. On the trivial side – only males are called peacocks - the females are called peahens and the both together are referred to as peafowl. I thought the second image (which full-sized is quite large) would be great fun for those who like to color their images.
Now, I also promised more oriental images as I found them, so here is a pagoda:
It may be a bit too detailed to be colored properly, but I still think it will look interesting on a card. And now I'm going to stay with the p's for one more image:
I used the pyramid graphic and the sentiment for a birthday card for my father, who turned a spry 81 last Saturday.
Okay, and finally, for the graphics, I have this rose bouquet:
Okay, and finally for the sentiments, which speak for themselves.
Whew! That's 10 again for today!

nurses and EMT's - page 4
I'm currently an EMT, but I'm planning to apply to a master's entry program soon. From my own experiences, some of the ER nurses are disrespectful to EMT's. Some nurses don't appreciate the care EMT's give, although limited, in... Read More
- 0Nov 20, '12 by DC CollinsI am sorry for how you have been treated. In my regular experience with our EMTs and Paramedics, there are a couple I think of as 'just taxi drivers'. But that's because there are some under performers in every profession, including nursing. In general, we love the care our EMTs and Medics give, and are grateful to the pre-hospital work they do as well as the care we can tell they will give to those we transfer out.

nursing student question: what are the main challenges faced in OB nursing?
- 1Jun 16, '10 by Bellakayei am a nursing student working on a school project. a requirement is to discuss a specific nursing topic in a nursing forum.
What are some of the main challenges faced in OB nursing?
- 7Jun 17, '10 by cnmbfa1. Being able to make quick judgments and shift you priorities. You better not be a nurse who likes routine or being able to plan out his or her day. For the most part, there is no such thing in L&D. You need to be a bit of an adrenaline junky, and need to be able to think and act at the same time.
2. Being a good team player and communicating clearly with others.
3. Having some assertiveness AND diplomacy skills so you can be a true advocate for your patients and deal successfully with docs.
3. Dealing with diverse patients and families with varying needs and expectations.
4. Being able to quickly "connect" with women and support them in a trying time.
5. Skills: Labor support; safety with epidurals; reading & interpreting fetal monitors; learning how to do accurate vaginal exams so you can detect good or poor progress; being able to recognize fetal malpresentations by doing Leopolds and be VE; Knowing what to do to facilitate rotating an OP or solving asynclitism; promoting prgress in labor.
6. Knowledge: maternal physiology, vital signs, lab changes in pregancy and labor; fetal response to labor; stages of labor, and womens' behavior and needs at each point in labor; family dynamics; pathophysiology in high risk OB (gest DM, preeclampsia, abruption, previa, PPROM, preterm labor, etc.); pros & cons of various pain managment strategies; what to expect in Mom and NB in the immediate post-delivery period; NB resuscitation; facilitating breastfeeding
7. Know you drugs: Pitocin, magnesium sulfate, hemabate, cytotec, nifedipine, mehtergine, cervidil, terbutaline, nalbuphine, butorphanol, and more
- 0Jun 18, '10 by Bellakayecnmbfa your response is greatly appreciated! it's really great to get input from someone who has experience. i'm in a BSN program and have been lucky to have some really great professors so far. i feel like most of what i have learned has not been from the texts but from experiences our professors have had and share with us. it helps getting real feedback especially since we are getting ready to start clinicals.
i have been doing some reading in a few other forums and wondered if there is any advice for SNs & new OB nurses when it comes to coping with fetal demise?
regarding cmonkeys response, are conflicts with doctors a common problem for nurses?
also, are cultural conflicts a common problem as well?
- 2Jun 18, '10 by cnmbfaSee my response to a post about fetal demise yesterday.
Cultural conflict, ideally, should be rare; it may or may not be. OB is the place where you are most likely to encounter LOTS of people from different backgrounds because all cultures give birth, so it is really important to be culturally aware and open-minded.
You cannot possibly learn all the ins and outs of various cultures; in addition, persons who belong to those various groups are individuals, with all different kinds of hopes, fears, previous HC encounters, etc. In my practice, I had patients from Somalia, Albania, Mongolia, Puerto Rico, Nigeria, Egypt, Jordan, Pakistan, India, China, Indonesia, Laos (Hmong & Laotian, which are different) Burma, and, of course, Mexico. I also had lots of African-American patients. I did well with nearly all of them. Amazingly, one of my non-English speaking patients named her baby after me (middle name)!
Along the way, I learned that what matters is realizing that you hold a certain point-of-view that has been shaped by your family, and by the time, place, and circumstances of where you grew up. You use this to make sense of and explain the world. The eye-opener is when your ealize that YOUR culture's way of doing things is not the only way, and may not be the best way to do things for everyone. And, that other cultures may do things in a way that works BETTER. For example, I had to get used to a few things abolut my Hmong patients. The first was that a key player was the mother-in-law, whose beliefs could trump whatever I said. I aslo figured out (eventually) that Hmong people really value concensus, and will do everything they can to avoid conflict. So, they would seem to go along with my ideas, but then would do what they thought was best. They would never, ever flat out disagree with me; they simply ignored my ideas. I learned that I should do my best to explain why I wanted them to take iron, then negotiate and win agreement in how we would approach their anemia.
So, how might a culture that values agreement and highly respects family and their elders be an advantage? Less conflict, plus LOTS of social support, plus more hands to help raise a child = less PP depression, less child abuse, more cohesive families, better earnings for the family as a whole. In addition, the Hmong version of Social Security is a large, close-knit family with a least several sons, who are obligated to take care of you in your old age. Contrast that to our lonely, depressed, isolated elders who seldom see or hear form their busy children and grandchildren.
One of the hardest thing to adapt to was teen pregnancies. I then realized that many of them truly wanted the baby. That baby represented hope to many with a limited future, and a chance to be a better parent that what they had experienced. It also gave them someone to love, and who they hoped would love them back. Coming to grips with this does NOT mean I endorse it, but if that baby is already on the way, what good would it do for me to be judgmental? Why not make the best of it, and to be able to reach that Mom and (possibly) influence her, she needs to see you as on her side, and as someone who values and cares about her.
By the way, I eventually realized that many of thiose teens lived in a matriarchal culture, and that a whole network of strong, savvy female relatives would help them out. and, many or them did eventually go back to school, or got a GED. They went on to be hairdressers, office clerks, bank tellers, meter midas, etc. Their lives (from their point of view) turned out OK, and they contribute to society. While you & I might think that not getting pregnant and going to college is the best plan, who are we to say it is right for everyone?
I learned how to relate to all kinds of people by 1) being open-minded, 2) realizing that my way was not the only way, 3) being respectful, and 3) being consistently kind. Somehow, the idea that we are all God's children is formly planted in my head. If you remember that, you will be fine. If your not sure what to do, ask them what is important to them; they will let you know.
- 1Jun 19, '10 by SmilingBluEyesGosh there are so many....the above posts say a lot.
I say:
Doctors/providers and their preferences are a huge challenge
Getting a grip on "suffering" versus "endurance" ....pain in labor is a different animal. I tell my Childbirth Classes, that PAIN is: NOT pathologic, and IS anticipated, INTERMITTENT (not constant) and NORMAL......to help them think about it differently,.
Cultures, yes oh my, they vary. Even among groups, attitudes and beliefs vary. It is a challenge to provide for and help everyone, and to see from their point of view, how things should go....
Knowing what is "normal" versus "not". Having a "sixth sense" if you will, takes time and experience. That is tough....
Administrative and other expectations. They sometimes are SO different from what we try and accomplish and can stymie our best efforts. This is one of the toughest challenges.
Getting along with ALL your coworkers. Personalities vary and some are VERY tough to deal with...
These are a few of mine.
- 0Jun 21, '10 by Bellakayeanother question... do you find working with new nurses (just out of school) have a hard time adjusting on a L&D unit? (i know most nurses come to an L&D unit with a little experience under their belts first - but i have heard many stories about nurses getting hired onto L&D right out of school) do you feel (in general) that the nursing schools could place more emphasis on any specific information that could better prepare them? and if so what would that be?
- 1Jun 21, '10 by SmilingBluEyesSome do have a tough transition; some adjust better. It has a lot to do with the various personalities of nurses and doctors, as well as ancilliary staff---and unit cohesiveness ---(or lack of it). On a toxic unit where morale is low, or leadership lacking, everyone has a hard time, most especially new graduates. On healthy units, everyone functions better, and new grads tend to be fostered more and better-taken care of.
The hardest times in most careers are the first two years. It takes about that long, working full time, to master your specialty, whether it be OB, Med/Surg, ED, or anything else. That is the toughest challenge any new graduate faces; working his or her way into the culture and routines of nursing.
My advice is try to find a unit where people appear mostly content working there, or have been there long-term. Also, don't be afraid to interview your interviewer, like about nurse-patient ratios etc. If your interviewer is evasive or not forthcoming, chances are, you don't want to work there. If there are LOTS of openings on any given unit, that is also a potential red flag, one to avoid.
Make up your mind to learn, never be intimidated, and grow. Don't ever pretend to know what you do not; we don't expect you to "come out of the chute" knowing it all----we want you to ask questions and get in there and try hard. Find a mentor nurse, one you admire to emulate and ask questions. There is usually at least ONE of these on any given unit; one who is not a big gossip-monger, but is a hard worker and likes to teach others. You won't regret that. And STAY OUT OF THE GOSSIP grapevine! Really, just do your job and have some fun. Those are my best pieces of advice. Good luck.
Does that help?Last edit by SmilingBluEyes on Jun 21, '10

SD Civic Youth Ballet on firm footing
As it looks toward Centennial, company getting in touch with who it is
Molly Terbovich-Ridenhour knew something was amiss when she would show up at a meeting in Balboa Park and some people were unaware of the San Diego Civic Youth Ballet.
"Even people who were just 50 feet away didn't even know that we are here," said Terbovich-Ridenhour.
"The Junior Theatre is very well known; the Youth Symphony is very well known. And even though we're in the same building (the Casa del Prado), they just thought we were kind of a small dance school that just happened to have a space in the park."
Her mission, since joining the organization as business manager in 2011 and becoming executive director a year later, is to change that perception. She's spearheaded the organization's membership in the Balboa Park Cultural Partnership (a collaborative comprised of 27 of the park's institutions), and she's working with the Youth Ballet's new marketing coordinator, Brittany Darr, to make the organization more visible.
Their efforts, along with those of artistic director Danika Pramik-Holdaway, will culminate in 2015 with what may be the most ambitious effort in the institution's history: a new production of "Sleeping Beauty."
San Diego Civic Youth Ballet
- Mission: "To provide the youth of San Diego with an opportunity to study, understand and appreciate, through education and participation, the art of ballet, and to enrich the cultural life of the community."
- Founded: 1945
- Leadership: Molly Terbovich-Ridenhour, executive director (since 2012); Danika Pramik-Holdaway, artistic director (since 2009).
- Annual operating budget: $500,000
- Governance: Five member board of directors (Herman Brown, president)
- Staff: 14 full time
- Website:sdcyb.org
As several of the roles will likely be taken by dancers who trained at Civic Youth Ballet and went on to professional careers, the project will reinforce an alumni program the company recently initiated. And with the potential involvement of the Junior Theatre and the San Diego Youth Symphony & Conservatory in the effort, it will also solidify a closer relationship between the three organizations, which meet regularly to explore ways of capitalizing on their joint educational mission.
"We hope this production would have the possibility of collaboration on a much larger scale," Terbovich-Ridenhour said. "We're trying to make it a blowout, not only to celebrate our 70 years and to launch the alumni project, but to celebrate the 2015 Centennial in Balboa Park."

Survival mode
The fact the Civic Youth Ballet will make it to 70 years is itself an achievement, given the organization's recurring financial issues. When Terbovich-Ridenhour joined the ballet in 2011, the artistic director was pretty much holding the institution together after the latest in a long string of administrators abruptly resigned.
"The organization had been through a lot, as far as directors were concerned, mainly on the business side," she said. "It's been around for 70 years, but there have been some times that it was in question on whether or not it would survive. It wasn't exactly at that point, but the board had been there, and they didn't want to get into that boat again."
Board President Herman Brown was a little more blunt about the situation four years ago, when he joined the board and soon afterward hired Terbovich-Ridenhour.

Regional Economic Update: Recovering from the CrisisThe region is recovering from the financial crisis along with the global economy. Growth in 2010 is expected to be 4.4 percent region-wide, driven by domestic absorption as well as a positive contribution from external demand. The recovery from the crisis differs by country depending on initial conditions and the intensity of the impact via the three principal channels through which the global financial crisis affected MENA economies - the financial sector, the price of oil, and the balance of payments, reflecting the impact on trade, remittances and FDI flows.
