Herb of the Month: Sageby Toby Amidor in In Season, September 9, 2012
If you thought all fresh herbs were past their prime by the fall, you're be mistaken. Fresh sage is now in season!
Sage Basics
This green herb is native to the Mediterranean. Its name comes from the Latin word salvus, which means "safe" – a reference to the herb's believed healing powers.
Common garden sage is grayish-green in color with narrow, oval leaves with a pebble-like surface. They have a pungent mint-like smell and taste. There are numerous varieties of the herb; some are for cooking with while others are ornamental. Varieties include Curly, Minima, Dwarf, Tricolor, Pineapple and White Edge. Pineapple sage has a strong pineapple smell while White Edge has a creamy color splashed on the green leaves.
Although fresh is only available during the late summer and fall, dried whole, crumbled or powdered sage is available all year round.
Nutrition Info
One tablespoon of fresh sage has only 6 calories and 1 gram of fiber. This green herb also contains a small amount of vitamin A, calcium, potassium and iron.
What To Do With Sage
Use sage in pork, turkey, chicken, bean and cheese dishes. Combine it with olive oil and garlic for a delicious pasta flavor, infuse it into oil or butter, or make a pesto sauce – a nice change from the traditional basil sauce. Add fresh sage leaves to lemonade, tomato sauce or veggie soup. You can also flash fry whole leaves and sprinkle with salt for a crispy garnish. Pineapple sage is great for iced tea, lemonade or sparkling water mojitos.
Shopping Tip: Choose fresh sage that is bright in color and has a strong aroma. To store, wrap in a paper towel and place in a re-sealable plastic bag for up to 4 days. Store whole, crumbled or powdered sage in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months.

11 Steps to Mainstream Your Green Products
Politicians aren't the only ones saying one thing and doing another. Consumers are constantly flip-flopping, especially when it comes to their claims of living sustainably and buying green products. OgilvyEarth, the sustainability division of advertising agency Ogilvy Mather, collaborated on a project aimed at understanding the gap between consumers' intentions and actions in the US and China markets, the two largest consumer markets in the world. This project, Bridging the Green Gap [PDF] set out to understand why this gap exists and how to close it. Graceann Bennett and Freya Williams, who led the US project, presented the findings at the recent GreenBiz Forum.
The report, which includes expert interviews, ethnographic research, and quantitative data, sharpens the lens on the fuzzy area of "mainstream" green. "Middle Greens" consist of two categories, which together comprise 66 percent of the U.S. population. At 33 percent, "Upper Middle Greens" see the sustainability movement as more important than "Lower Middle Greens," who also represent 33 percent of the market. Upper Middle Greens have a strong belief in the existence of the problems, such as the impending water crisis and the link between extreme weather events and human behavior.
However, while they do what they can, Upper Middle Greens are not leading the way for others, like the "Super Greens" (at 16 percent of the US market) are doing. Further down the spectrum, the Lower Middle Greens see these problems as hype. Their purchasing behavior is based more on personal benefits.
As a whole, Middle Greens are followers. They are mainstream consumers who understand the importance of living sustainably, but are not necessarily willing or interested in going out of their way to be the change. Don't expect the Middle Greens to be easily converted to the Super Green lifestyle. They won't. The Super Green market has remained the same size at 16 percent for the past 30 years, with no marked sign of improvement.
To market to Middle Greens, "we have to go to them, they will not come to us," explained Graceann Bennett. Oftentimes they "take a bite of the green apple," then they feel guilty about their purchasing choices or lifestyle and start on a path of sustainability, albeit staying firmly in the middle lane.
Early efforts of green marketing labeled the consumer as special and green. This has proven to be the wrong strategy for the Middle Greens, as they like everyone else just want to be normal, not special or labeled as green. (Greenies are still widely regarded as an annoying fringe element — either rich elitist snobs or crunchy granola types.)
In a few corners of the US, such San Francisco, green behavior is normalized. If you are not recycling or reducing fossil fuel, you are a social outcast, i.e. "not normal." Marketers can reach the mainstream consumer by normalizing the buying behavior that is the goal of a marketing campaign.
For the rest of the mainstreamers, it is far more effective to position a green product as better, modern, or optimized. An example is Method with its cool bottles and better performance, in addition to its "non-toxic" message. As OgilvyEarth's report explains, Super Greenies will still get the green message through reading labels on the bottle, ads in green magazines, trusted media outlets, social, apps such as Good Guide, and through retailers such as Whole Foods.
Often when a green behavior shift really takes hold, it happens by triggering a "preexisting condition" – an element of our character that represents a source of pleasure, validation or self-worth. One example is the "deal" found at the local thrift store that gives the buyer pleasure in her shopping prowess.
Cost, also known as the "sustainability tax," continues to be the number one barrier holding Americans back from purchasing green products. Moreover, 73 percent of Americans opt for known mainstream brands because they believe they will deliver better on performance. A good example is the popularity of Clorox Greenworks over Seventh Generation.
Curiously, green is also viewed as feminine. When asked if they thought if the green movement was masculine or feminine, 82 percent of respondents said feminine. Green is seen as the new pink. Mary MacDonald of EarthShare gets around this by appealing to the masculine attributes of green. "When guys come up to me and ask about my Prius," Mary told me, "I talk about how powerful the car is. That gets their attention."
Eco-related suspicion and confusion abound. Consumers don't trust claims, even in cases where companies are doing the right thing. Even with Green leader SC Johnson, too many claims really make a brand suspect or even liable, even where good intentions are met with skepticism, as covered in Joel Makower's blog post about the Sense and Sensibility survey. Steps to follow in order to mainstream your green products are as follows:
- Make it normal — Make people feel like everyone is doing it.
- Make it personal — No polar bears, use local examples that affect them.
- Create better defaults — If green is the default, them people don't have to decide to be green.
- Eliminate the sustainability tax — Eliminating the price barrier eliminates the notion that these products are not for normal people.
- Bribe shamelessly — Reward good behavior.
- Punish wisely — Shame, stigma and guilt are powerful motivators, unless used too much.
- Don't stop innovating — Make better stuff.
- Lose the crunch — Don't package in burlap!
- Turn eco-friendly into male ego-friendly — incorporate gadgets, games, sports or other male oriented approaches.
- Make it tangible and easy to navigate — Close the feedback loop, have transparency and a very good road map.
- Tap into hedonism over altruism — Help consumers see the fun side of sustainable lifestyle.
The bottom line: make it easy (and normal) to be green by addressing social needs and getting back to marketing basics.

Opening up the Morgue Drawer with Jutta Profijt
Author Jutta Profijt was born in 1967 in Ratingen, Germany. Morgue Drawer Four, her first novel featuring coroner Martin Gänsewein and his beyond-the-grave sidekick, Pascha, was shortlisted for the 2010 Friedrich Glauser Prize for best crime novel. The English translation comes out today.
Question: The Friedrich Glauser Prize is one of the highest accolades a crime novel can receive in Germany. What was your first thought after you found out you'd been nominated? Has it affected your life or your approach to writing?
Jutta Profijt: When I first heard the news, I could not believe it, because the success of the Morgue Drawer series is based on political incorrectness and black humor—two characteristics that usually find a lot of enthusiasm among readers but little appreciation among German awards committees. I was very happy, of course, but it hasn't really changed my life or my writing. I still write for readers, not for awards committees.
Q: How did you create such a memorable pair of crime fighters? Are Martin and Pascha based on anyone you know?
Q: Did a real morgue drawer inspire Pascha's new home? Why number four?
JP: Yes, there's a real morgue drawer in Cologne, but the drawers are not numbered. I wanted Pascha to think of it as his last known address, so I chose that form; and the number had to be four because I liked the sound of the title in German.
Q: You have quite a résumé: au pair, importer/exporter, executive coach, English instructor. Have these varied experiences shaped you as a writer?
JP: I believe that everything I have done in life has had an effect on my writing, but my becoming a novelist was purely coincidence. I never planned to start writing, but it's somewhat logical. I have always been interested in other people, curious to see what they do and to understand why they do it. Communication has always played a major part in my life, often in foreign languages as I taught and translated English and French. When writing novels, I can combine all these interests.
Q: What's next for unlikely hero Martin Gänsewein?
JP: Pascha sticks around to give Martin a hard time. In his private life, in his job, even in the bathroom, Martin will be watched—and not just watched, because Pascha comments on and criticizes every move Martin makes. And because Pascha has reached eternity, there's no end in sight for Martin to get rid of him.

Drew Miller's recent past followed him to Anaheim.
Miller, who was recalled by the Ducks earlier this week when the NHL suspended Corey Perry, was selected to play in the American Hockey League's All-Star Game.
Provided he's not still with the Ducks, Miller will represent the PlanetUSA team on Jan. 26 in Worcester, Mass.
Miller was the leading the Iowa Chops, the Ducks' AHL affiliate, with 16 goals when he was recalled on Jan. 3. Though he played in three postseason games during the 2006-07 season, and 26 more games in 2007-08, he found himself in the position of watching his minor-league teammates get called up ahead of him this season.
"You have to create the opportunity for yourself to come up," Miller said. "If you take it the bad way and sulk, you're going to get stuck down there. You just have to keep playing your game."
One of Miller's new tasks, now that he's with the Ducks, is proving that he belongs. He is averaging 10 minutes, 47 seconds of ice time after two games while playing on a line with Brendan Morrison and former Iowa teammate Andrew Ebbett.
"We think Drew Miller is a very smart hockey player and we think that he has an opportunity, or is getting an opportunity, here where the door is open wider more than at any other time," Carlyle said. "With Teemu (Selanne) and Corey Perry out of your lineup, you're missing two forwards.">

I've never seen that issue, but I would say that McAfee is notoriously bad with its retail consumer offerings when it comes to virus/PC protection and messing up things on PCs. I gave up on McAfee two years ago and went to Kaspersky, which is a dream. Runs smaller, cleaner and virtually trouble free.
Are you using IE as your browser? Which version? Make sure you're using the latest (9.x). That's the one Microsoft keeps patched these days.
Also, are you keeping your Windows OS patched and up-to-date?
You may want to try installing Google Chrome as a separate browser and use your Google toolbar on that only. I don't use Yahoo or Bing - I don't care for Bing and have never needed Yahoo with Google toolbar on board. You shouldn't need to login to your Google account for the toolbar to work.

Believe it or not, Skype was causing all the trouble. I had to uninstall google then reinstall, which would last a couple of days to a week & half. have to do the process each time it lost me. Kept sending google what was happening every time I had to uninstall (Google prompted me why I was uninstalling each time). Finally I got an email from skype that they were causing the problem & had me install a fix to repair. Have not had a problem since.
Yes McAfee sucks. Renewed the subscription on my wife's laptop & while installing a malware crept in. Mcafee was no help repairing I went to system Mechanic & after a few anylising & repair, they cleaned it up. Iolo is now protecting me. I wasted my renewal fee with McAfee.

Epson, like HP, was an early pioneer in inkjet technology. Epson ink cartridges differ from most other brands of printers (Brother, Canon, HP, Dell, Lexmark, Kodak) in that vibration, rather than heat, is used to expel drops of ink from printer's printhead on to the awaiting paper. Epson has long been know for its expertise in working with Quartz and electricity ("think watches"). And, what Epson found was that they could create a micro piezo printhead - basically a vibrating print head - much like getting a "pulse" from a quartz watch. As such, Epson printers have a permanently affixed printhead - and with that, Epson printer supplies are essentially ink tanks (ink cartridges).
Carrot Ink is a great place to buy Epson ink. We offer a full selection of Epson compatible cartridges (and Epson OEM wide format cartridges). We now offer the complete range on Epson supplies. On our website, you'll find inkjet cartridges for Epson Stylus; Epson Workforce ink; Stylus Photo cartridges; and even Ink for Epson Artisan printers.
If you're looking for discount Epson ink, look no further than Carrot Ink. Helping our customers save on Epson printer cartridges since 1998, Carrot Ink has been a pioneer in compatible epson ink cartridges. There's simply no better place to shop for Epson supplies.
Epson got into the printer business due to the 1964 Summer Olympics. They had been selected as the official timekeeper, but needed to provide timers that could print. This led further to development of impact dot-matrix printers (essentially little rods that rammed onto an ink ribbon). It is speculated that Epson noticed HP's development of thermal inkjet printers (and their patents) and found they could affect the same result but by using their knowledge of quartz technology. (This is part of the reason Epson inkjet printers used to be so loud.)

I'm made a new version of my Block Party quilt. Check out my earlier posts here, here. and here.
I'm so happy with the finished quilt!
I bound the quilt in Kona Curry.
The back is pretty plain for me, but I like that it's nice and calm.
After the last post, some of you asked about my basting method. I think the photos may have been misleading because I was trying to show the part that had already been quilted (so the basting pins had already been taken out). I always pin baste and I think it makes for easier quilting. I also like the fact that, unlike an aerosol can that gets thrown away, pins can be used again and again and don't produce any chemical fumes.

Cross-Platform Software Development Using CMake
When looking through a large list of projects, one thing becomes apparent: a description of the build process always is stored in a group of files. These files can be simple shell scripts, Makefiles, Jam files, complex scripts based on projects like Autoconf and Automake or tool-specific files.
Recently another player came into the software building game, CMake. CMake is not directly a build process, because it uses native build tools, such as Make or even Microsoft Visual Studio. With support for numerous platforms, in-source and out-of-source builds, cross-library dependency checking, parallel building and simple configuration of header files, it significantly reduces the complexity of cross-platform software development and maintenance processes.
Looking at most software development projects, you are undoubtedly faced with a common problem. You have a bunch of source files, some depend on each other, and you want to make some final binary. Sometimes you want to do something more complicated, but in most cases, that is it.
So, you have this little project and you want to build it using your Linux desktop. You sit down and quickly write the following Makefile:
main.o: main.c main.h cc -c main.c MyProgram: main.o cc -o MyProgram main.o -lm -lz
Once this file is ready, all you have to do is type make and the project is built. If any file is modified, all the necessary files also are rebuilt. Great, you can now congratulate yourself and go have a drink.
Except your boss comes by and says, "We just got this great new XYZ computer and you need to build the software on it." So, you copy files there, type make and receive the following error message:
cc: Command not found
You know there is a compiler on that XYZ computer and it is called cc-XYZ, so you modify Makefile and try again. But that system does not have zlib. So, you remove -lz and play with source code and on it goes.
As you see, the problem with the Makefile approach is that once the file is moved to new platform, where the compiler name is not cc or where compile flags are different or even where the syntax of the compile line is different, make breaks.
As a more elaborate example of this problem, let us check our favorite compression library, zlib. Zlib is a fairly simple library, consisting of 17 C source files and 11 header files. Compiling zlib is straightforward. All you need to do is compile each C file and then link them all together. You can write a Makefile for it, but then you have to modify it on every single platform.
Tools such as Autoconf and Automake do a good job of solving some of these problems on UNIX and UNIX-like platforms. They are, however, usually too complex. To make things even worse, in most projects developers end up writing shell scripts inside Autoconf input files. The results then quickly become dependent on assumptions the developer made. Because the result of Autoconf depends on the shell, these configuration files do not run on platforms where the Bourne Shell or another standard /bin/sh is not available. Autoconf and Automake also depend on several tools installed on the system.
CMake is a solution to these problems. As opposed to other similar tools, CMake makes few assumptions about the underlying system. It is written in fairly standard C++, so it should run on almost any modern platform. It does not use any other tool except the native build tools of the system.
For several platforms, such as Debian GNU/Linux, CMake is available as a standard package. For most other platforms, including UNIX, Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows, CMake binaries can be downloaded from the CMake Web site. To check if CMake is installed, you can run the command cmake --help. This will display the version of CMake and the usage information. If the location to the CMake executable is not in the system path, you can run it by specifying the full path to the executable.
Now that CMake is installed, we can use it for our projects. For this, we have to prepare the CMake input file, which is called CMakeLists.txt. For example, this is a simple CMakeLists.txt for a possible project:
PROJECT(MyProject C) ADD_LIBRARY(MyLibrary STATIC libSource.c) ADD_EXECUTABLE(MyProgram main.c) TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(MyProgram MyLibrary z m)
Using CMake to build the project is extremely easy. In the directory containing CMakeLists.txt, supply the following two commands, where path is the path to the source code.
cmake path
The cmake step reads the CMakeLists.txt file from the source directory and generates appropriate Makefiles for the system, in the current directory. CMake also maintains a list of all header files that objects depend on, so dependency checking can be assured. If you need to add more source files, simply add them to the list. Once Makefiles are generated, you do not have to run CMake any more, because the dependency to CMakeLists.txt also are in the generated Makefiles. If you want to make sure that dependencies are regenerated, you can always run make depend.
dependencies is an issue
sometimes dependencies not installed because of versions conflict. so you should select exact lib that you need.
SET_SOURCE_FILE_PROPERTIES sh
should be changed to
Re: Cross-Platform Software Development Using CMake
This sounds really cool. I may give CMake a try for my next new project.
Beware of the lack of documentation though...
One inconvenient of CMAKE is that the documentation available online is very brief. If you want to do anything serious with it, I think buying the book is really necessary.
No worse than autohell
The autotools suite suffers from the same lack of clear, simple docs and examples. CMake is at least easy to pick up.
Yep, needs documentation
Seems like a very cool project. I'm trying to pick it up without the book, and I'm having a pretty hard time of it. More publicly available samples of how to do things would go a long way to helping the project reach a critical mass within the community.
You'd think they'd make it more obvious
You can get a fairly comprehensive explanation of a lot of the variables using the command "cmake --help-html > cmake.html" - the resulting file is very useful and quite verbose.
Having said that, this still leaves you badly in need of worked examples.
How about teh KDE4 sources
> this still leaves you badly in need of worked examples
The KDE4 WebSVN might provide quite a few working examples.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

John Webster suggests that the church can "never embody or present or realize" the "word of reconciliation" in its own midst. Webster is concerned to stress the utter gratuity and irreducibility of God's action over against the church's action. God saves and we do not. We are never the subject of salvation, always its object.
However, does the gratuity and singularity of God's action entail the church's utter extrinsity to God's saving action? Bonhoeffer suggests, not that the church has some sort of immanent ability to embody the Word of God, but rather that the Word itself seeks the ecclesial community within which to take shape. The Word itself "has an inherent impulse toward community."
The question is decidedly not one of the church's capacity to participate in or extend God's own action, rather it is a question of the character of divine action itself. The Word of reconciliation is (of course!) beyond any human ability to embody or realize in that the presence of the Word in history is an absolute novum, an apocalyptic event. Rather, the apocalyptic Word, by its very nature seeks out the church, makes it its own, and transfigures it, and conforms it ever and again into the image of Christ, entering into it from without, and just so indelibly making the church its home. The church is, as Barth liked to express it, the "crater" left by "the great disturbance" of God's invasion of history in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The church is a the crater, the space created by the presence of God which transfigures, and recreates by first dissolving and bringing to nothing.
The church does not, then "embody" the Word in the sense of performing some sort of act of cultural-communal repetition whereby they achieves something. Rather the church is a space of emptiness, an epicenter created by the apocalyptic Word of God which is always and ever at the center of the church, as its vivifying life which is always alien, new, and irreducible to something immanent. The church does not so much embody the Word as the presence of God in Christ "Words" the church, seizing it and catching it up into the movement of God's apocalypse which dissolves and renews the world.

SILVER Linings Playbook is a romantic comedy masquerading as a drama.
At least that's what I hope it was doing because it is the only way to excuse the representation of mental illness in this film.
Director David O. Russell has talked openly about wanting to bring his own experience with mental illness to the film, his son is bipolar.
And credit to him for breathing new life into romantic comedies by trying to add some grit and realism to the film.
However, I couldn't help but feel that mental illness was still used as a novelty in Silver Linings Playbook in ways that just doesn't sit right with me.
Bradley Cooper – far from the pretty boy days of The Hangover and Wedding Crashers – is incredible and almost unrecogniseable as Pat, a young man fresh out of a mental institution who returns home to his family, trying to put the broken pieces of his life back together and in doing so re-win the favour of his estranged wife.
Pat is utterly manic and every room he is in feels claustrophobic. He paces and rants almost like he's chanting, trying to make sense of everything around him without the help of a mental filter. The audience is given fly on the wall status to what it's actually like living with a bipolar person and how even the smallest conversations the daily conversations are just powder kegs waiting to explode.
He is just phenomenal.
But this is where the character development stops. Enter Jennifer Lawrence as Tiffany, a girl-next-door type who is in the midst of a nervous breakdown of her own following the death of her husband. On the page, Tiffany's character is just utterly one dimensional. Aside from the fact she too has no social filter and slept with eleven dudes, there is no explicit explanation for her Tiffany's mental illness. We are led to believe that her nervous breakdown was triggered by the death of her husband. But we don't know much else about her. It is Lawrence, not Russell that saves the role from becoming one dimensional. She makes up for what the script lacks – depth. There is a simmering fury bubbling away inside of Tiffany which comes out in fiery bursts when she talks to Pat. You cannot take your eyes off her. She look ready to explode.
Despite a frenetic performance from Lawrence, the film fetishises her promiscuity. During her "date" with Pat, Tiffany relishes recounting her lesbian experiences with her co workers to Pat while be eats raisin cereal. He is clearly more aroused than concerned for her. But we are led to believe that it's ok because he is clearly lacking a filter too.
It's a little sexist and degrading to treat Tiffany's sexuality as a symptom of her mental illness, at least without providing us with more information about her allegedly reckless behaviour. I doubt sleeping with eleven girls would have been classified the same way had Pat "afflicted" with the same "problem".
Russell has done a good job trying to present a realistic portrayal of what it must be like for these two, broken people, trying to put the pieces of their lives back together while struggling to stay sane. But there's real mental illness and then there's film friendly mental illness. Silver Linings Playbook is braver than other films of its ilk, such as Garden State or Punch Drunk Love, but it nonetheless makes some fairly agreeable choices and it straddles the line between drama and comedy.
I imagine with a bit of re-editing and restaging of some scenes, Russell could have repositioned it as a proper drama. It's an enjoyable film, but it feels safe.
It's a crowd pleaser. There' s no risk in it. We know from pretty early on that Pat and Tiffany are going to get together. Russell even foreshadows it in one of the earliest scenes where Pat refuses to apologise for throwing Ernest Hemingway's Farewell To Arms is thrown through a closed window.
"The world's hard enough as it is, guys," Pat says in one of the film's earliest scenes. "Can't someone say, hey let's be positive? Let's have a good ending to the story?"
Despite this, Russell does a great job of prolonging suspense as you're drawn into Pat and Tiffany's respective world's.
And after all that he's been through with his son, maybe Russell needed to create his own happy ending, even if only on film.
Though Russell's representation of mental illness may have been problematic, Silver Linings Playbook is a thoroughly enjoyable and heart warming film about love, family and insanity. It features some superb performances. The soundtrack is also superb.
Three stars.
– Robert De Niro looked more energised than he has in years as Pat's father, a neurotic gambler whose OCD is tied to superbowl team The Eagles. Though it's a little frustrating that his own mental and emotional struggles go unaddressed as almost everyone in the family – barring Pat – enables what is very clearly a serious gambling problem.
– For all her acting prowess, "Australia's own" Jackie Weaver was almost forgettable as the family matriarch who is determined to keep the family together against all odds. She isn't given much to do beyond look worried and it would have been nice if Russell had fleshed out her character a little more.

New LPN in LTC and I am drowning - page 2
I feel so ashamed hearing numbers like 30 and 50 per nurse - I have between 18 - 22 patients, am going into my 1st month on the job and I am drowning. Is this not the career path for me? I worked so hard to try to find a job... Read More
- 2Jul 9, '12 by PrimaFacieQuote from JZ_RNI strongly agree with JZ_RN.The problem is the unrealistic and unsafe amount of patients that you are assigned to.
About 5 years ago I took a night RN position in LTC. I had always done ER & OB and was pretty efficient, but in my 'old age' I wanted to try something slower pace. I found very quickly that LTC was not slower pace.
Med pass was overwhelming. 40 pts/nurse. The nurses who knew the residents well had a huge advantage. Trying to identify residents by their photographs in the med-cardex was a joke since hardly of them looked like their picture and they were all over the place when i needed to pass meds....dining room, etc and many didnt know their name.
I got very frustrated with other nurses advising me to take unsafe shortcuts and I gave up when I found a bunch of pre-filled insulin syringes on the insulin cart. (pre-filled by another nurse, who apparently thought this was quicker than properly doing the sliding scales that were ordered.) I reported that as part of my resignation letter, but my understanding was that this was not so unusual there.
I hated every minute of my LTC experience.
If a resident was really lucky, they got 10 minutes of nursing care per day. BTW, how much is Medicare paying for that 10 minutes? $300/day?
Because of this experience, when my mother was in a rehab for 2 weeks before she died, I stayed with her every minute so she would not be neglected/abused. I know some, or even most are not like I experienced, but I was so traumatized!
- 0Jul 9, '12 by MaremmaOh dear I feel so bad for you! I am LTC too and a pretty new nurse. I understand how frustrating it all is. I more often than not cannot get done in time either now. I have been put in a permanant hall that is a mix of LTC and rehab making it a great big zoo!
Speed really does come with time. There are just to many new things to learn in a very chaotic environment. You need to give yourself time to become familiar with everything. It is not you. it is the nature of the job.
One of the things I learned real quick was to prioritize in order that I can "hand over the cart" at the right time and then finish all my own work after the night shift nurse takes responsibility for the hall. You do not need the extra stress of having coworkers angry at you for making them start late and getting them behind.You also can work faster on the other stuff once another nurse is in charge of the hall.
For example if "crap hits the fan" and someone falls for example. I will ONLY do the absolute most essential things required at the time it happens. In our facility we must call "Dr rehab" to room whatever" so the RN super comes to "assess" the patient.Help get them off the floor, vitals, call family, call or fax the "FYI to Dr and save the rest for later. I keep my vital sheet with me on the med cart and the patient stays in the hall with me so I can keep getting my vitals as I do med pass. If they have a skin tear etc again bare minimum. cleanse apply bacitracin cover with clean dry dressing. Worry about the paper work part later.
Do not try to do treatments while getting meds out. if you must stay late to finish all your own work, again better to finish treatments after you handed off the cart and the next nurse is responsible for the hall. They don't need you to be done with treatments for them to get started with all their own work.
It takes a little time to learn your residents too but I have also learned to use my census sheet to make slash at each persons name after giving their meds. That helps me ensure I do not miss anyone and can more safely "jump" to the ones that I need to take care of first to avoid problems with later. For example if I know a patient takes seroquel or ativan routinely I make sure they are at the top of the list on who gets meds first. it is less likely they will become behavioral and wind up on the floor or something. As unfair as it sounds I also am quick to jump to the "trouble makers" that are more demanding right after any on psych meds of any kind. it also prevents problems interrupting the med pass. You know like taking off and needing chased down in a temper tantrum because you didn't drop what you were doing and get them what they want first. Little tricks like this will become more and more apparent to you as you learn your residents.
Where is your RN super while you are drowning by the way? In our facility the RN super is suppose to help the LPN if crap is hitting the fan. For example, a fall they should be calling the family Dr etc for you so you can get back to med pass as quickly as possible. I can see our RN super getting in an awful lot of trouble for not helping a brand new LPN that has only worked as a nurse for less than a month!
- 0Jul 9, '12 by lifeisgood2012Thanks again all - I appreciate the support. I am really glad I am not alone in this. As sad as it sounds that this seems to be the norm, I at least feel now that I am doing the best that I can and that takes some of the pressure off.
Yes - my CNA's are terrific - they do the turning of patients and do vitals - there are some meds that require (based on the MAR) to have BP and pulse or just pulse done before I can give them - I have a seperate pulse ox that takes pulse but sometimes it doesnt always pick up on certain patients so I have to use the BP machine. My supervisor has helped me - she has done one med pass with me to try to help show me how to prioritize - she normally does all the admissions and she has been doing all the paperwork for me (except charting) so I can stay on the floor and get used to assessing my residents and get used to their meds. However she has 3 other halls that she is in charge of - 4 total - with 3 out of 4 of those halls having new nurses in training (I am the only new newbie - the other 2 are RN's who have experience but are new to the facility) and they have sometimes double the amount of patients I have to pass meds on plus she has to help with getting meds checked in when the pharmacy comes. She rarely leaves more than an hour before I do to make sure I am only left with charting to do. Honestly in this situation I am not sure how she could do better - but I dont know because I am just starting my 4th week. Couldnt she get in trouble for not helping the other 2 new RN's too? I am thankful I am not afraid to ask questions - I have even asked the girls (the 2 new RN's) what they do to help them go faster - one of them pulls 6-7 of the residents meds for the 2nd med pass before she goes to dinner, writes on a clear cup and puts them in her drawer then never goes offsite for dinner. I am not going to do that. One leaves the top part of the cart unloocked so she doesnt have to keep reaching for her keys to unlock it and keeps the cart turned towards the wall so residents wont get into it - I am not going to do that either - if state were there for either of those things I would get in trouble. I am up now because I am just sick to my tummy about going in today - I am trying not to think about it - but I feel like all the joy is being sucked out of what I thought nursing was - I know part of it has got to be my atttude and perspective on things - which I am trying to adjust - I just simply feel overwhelmed. My supervisor was in the middle of doiing a new admission when the fall occured - she couldnt come and assess the patient - she came later - but I couldnt bring him out on to the hall with me for the first hour I monitored his vitals every 15 min. because he was so scared he had fallen. I did stay down towards that end of the hall and finsh my med pass down there, but the residents that were up at the 1st of the hall got irritated with me even tho I explaiined the situation to them. I dont know what else to do - I really really dont. The whole situation is just dishearteniing to me. I love my residents and its not their fault - I just always felt nursing was what I was led to do - its whats been in my heart to do - and now it just makes me sad. And after working so hard to get here to be a new nurse I am disappointed that I dont have a better attitude about things and that I am constantly feeling sad. I guess I should try harder to count my blessings and just be glad I have a job.

We go to a mommy group on Wednesday mornings at a drop-in parenting centre. It's only a ten minute walk from home so I use it as a chance to get a short walk in, get to know a few other moms, and as a nice added bonus, the drop in centre provides free lunch.
Other than that I haven't done much for fun out of the house, sadly. It'll happen soon I'm sure.

So, whether Corryton's crime rate is high or low compared to all places in the US, when we control for population size and compare it to places that are similar in size, it is near the middle of the pack in crime rate; not much more or less dangerous, and about what we would expect from the statistics.

These days, it's hard to imagine that there was a time when San Francisco didn't play host to an event focused on Pinot Noir, but it wasn't until 2005 that the city got an event dedicated to "the heartbreak grape."
Now in it's sixth year, Pinot Days has firmly established itself as one of the largest and most exciting Pinot Noir events in America. If you enjoy Pinot Noir or are still trying to figure that out, this is an event that should not be missed.
Pinot Days offers a week of events, from winemaker dinners, to small tastings in retail stores, to seminars that focus on specific regions or specific producers. The main event of the weekend, however, is the grand tasting of 220 different producers from around the globe pouring more than 300 different wines. The tasting, as in past years, is heavily focused on California producers, but increasingly draws in participants from Oregon, Washington, New Zealand, and Burgundy.
For details on the various activities as well as a list of the producers who will be pouring their wines for the grand tasting, check out the event web site.
Pinot Days 2010 Grand Tasting
Sunday June 27th
1:00 PM to 5:00 PM
Festival Pavilion - Fort Mason Center
Marina Boulevard, San Francisco, CA 94123 (map)
Tickets for the grand tasting are $60 and should be purchased in advance online, especially if you don't want to stand in a long line at the event. Tickets for winemaker dinners and other activities range from $80 to $150. Details are available on the event web site.
Parking at Fort Mason is easier now that it is a paid lot, but for large events like this, you'd be better off parking several blocks away and walking. Or better yet, taking public transport.
Like all such large public tastings, you will enjoy yourself and learn a lot more by following my simple guidelines: get a good night's sleep, wear dark clothes, come with a full stomach, drink lots of water, and SPIT!

No deal in Evergreen Park SD 124 teachers strike; more talks Monday
By Janet Lundquist Sun-Times Media October 7, 2012 1:02PM
The negotiating team for striking teachers makes their way toward the entrance at Central Junior High School Sunday, Oct. 7, 2012, in Evergreen Park. | Matthew Grotto~Sun-Times Media

Teachers and school board members in Evergreen Park School District 124 walked away from the bargaining table Sunday afternoon without an agreement after butting heads for about six hours.
Members of the Evergreen Park Federation of Teachers have been on strike since Tuesday. The strike affects 1,800 students at four elementary schools and one middle school.
Kathy Rohan, president of the School District 124 board, said the teachers union increased its demands Sunday, but also said the groups are making progress toward a middle ground.
But Deneen Pajeau, field service director for the Illinois Federation of Teachers and a member of the union's negotiating team, denied the teachers increased their demands.
"We made concessions in one area and made a change in another," she said.
Rohan said the district would post both offers made today on the school district's website, d124.org.
Sunday's session followed a 9-1/2 hour meeting Friday that adjourned at 3:30 a.m. Saturday.
The negotiators were back at the table Sunday morning, talking behind closed doors inside Central Junior High School while a crowd of teachers and supporters stood outside on the sidewalk all day.
"I always have hope," Rohan said, that an agreement will be reached and kids will be back in class on Tuesday.
"We continue to meet and continue to talk. We are progressing with each offer that we provide," she said.
Parent Ray Richter, who has six children attending school in the district, said he's hopeful an agreement will be reached and his kids will be back in school on Tuesday.
"From what it sounds like ... things are getting close. I think they're finally going to think about the children here, put their differences aside."
The strike has divided the entire community, he said.
"Neighbors are fighting. You can just feel the tension everywhere," Richter said.
Sixth-grade teacher and 20-year Evergreen Park resident Joann Reilly spoke about the conflict with tears in her eyes.
"It's hard to be a teacher during this and live in the community," she said.
"We miss our students and we want to be back in the building with them," Reilly said. "But we have to stand up for ourselves, and for the first time we are."
The union has scheduled a community forum on the strike for 6 p.m. Monday at American Legion Post 854, 9701 Kedzie Ave. Union officials said it will serve as a platform for the union and the school board to provide information and answer questions about the negotiations, but Rohan has said board members and district officials would not attend.

Fiat Siena 1.6 16V Essence In Bloom
Fiat Siena 1.6 16V Essence Review
After more than twelve years in the market, the Fiat Siena gets a mechanical assembly to remove the hat. Admittedly, the sedan Fiat has always been an honest car, but no thrill. It held four plastic came to be labeled a lame duck and now receives an important boost at a later stage of its life cycle. With the new engine 1.6 16V E. torque of 117 horses, made from the Tritec used in the Mini Cooper in the early, small sedan gains strength in the fight with the various competitors.
It was a gift and that both the sedan, which underwent a series of changes in staff engineering FPT (Fiat Power Train). Adopted new pistons, redefine several pieces, including the crankshaft and valve seats. But retained interesting solutions for achieving a more compact (after all, the cashier of the Mini's engine is a bit tight), as the power steering pump mounted along with the water, but with possibility to be traded independently. The only problem is it takes up little space was the case with the oil filter, installed near the fire wall, which requires access it by going to the wheel box for exchange.
Fiat Siena 1.6 16V Essence Power and Gas Consume
Because of the smaller cylinder 16 and having eight valves in place of the old 1.8 engine, there was a loss for torque at lower engine speeds, which can be seen in the output curve. Are 16.8 Nm at 4,500 rpm compared to 18.5 to 2800 rpm, but on balance the new 1.6 comes out better, even when it comes to consumption. Ethanol, Fiat Siena 1.6 says that Essence is 8.4 km / l in city and 10.9 km / h on the highway, numbers that could be even better if it adopted a compression ratio slightly higher than the 10,5:1. Anyway, without doubt, the new engine runs much better than the 1.8, which will be only in line Fiat Stilo. With the new engine, the sedan reaches 191 km / h accelerates 0-100 km / h in 9.5 seconds, yet according to the manufacturer.
Moreover, the car remains the same as always. The suspension that favors comfort makes the body too lean in curves and requires some caution. The armrest of the door a little lower than the ideal comes to tire on longer trips and, in versions equipped with ABS, the vibration in the pedal can scare the most unsuspecting. In contrast, the trunk of 500 liters remains one of the segment and list of available equipment is quite comprehensive and can include up electrochromic rearview mirror, something rare in models of category. At the end of the test was a feeling that, in fact, over the years has done well to Fiat Siena.
