Review of chapter "Dossier: Justicar(1)" from
still loving this, and you finally got Samara on board... ooh this is going to end in all kinds of trouble, especially when Crazy slay gal gets on the bad side of our friendly Justicar...
aah, violence.
Comments from author:
Thanks I've been looking forward to Samara's apperance as much as anyone.
I love writing Simone Doffler though I think its time to kick it up a notch she is too good a character not to let her off the leash in a world like Mass Effect

Review of chapter "Omega (5)" from
You know, if there was one thing about Kasumi as a character that I really liked, it was that she was Japanese without being an annoying stereotype. She didn't drop gratuitous Japanese words into every single sentence when speaking English, or go on about anime or manga. In fact, she never spoke any Japanese at all. She was a thief, first and foremost, and a technical expert and her ethnicity was about as inconsequential to her identity as Shepard's is.
You have ruined that.
I cannot stand the way you write Kasumi. And considering the fact that pretty much everybody is wearing real-time translators at all times, it doesn't even make sense. Those Japanese words would just be translated into English for the hearer. Just like that chick in ME1 who was clearly speaking Japanese even though we heard her in English.
I also question Xander's credentials as an "otaku" considering he never once mentioned any anime or manga in the entire run of Buffy, but that's more of a nitpick since he could have gotten really into it after he was immortal or something.
Comments from author:
I could make the cut content argument since numerous vids are online showing that Kasumi went through a few character changes before BW settled on the version we know including a version not unlike how I wrote her. Of course if you are as big a fan as you seem you've already SEEN those vids and take umbrage at my inclusion of content that's not strictly canonized
I shudder to think how you'll react to the left of canon ending I'm planning
I suspect one reason for the changes was the.same as my own, it seemed like a good idea to have her speak japanese but the logistics of doing it through a whole story were daunting to say the least. and I eventually pulled it back a notch
I take full responsbility for how Kas came across on page, she's a bit of a cypher so I wasn't really sure how she'd fit in to the team dynamic. Originally Xander and Kasumi were going to be a couple but I thought a Jack pairing would be more of a challenge
that having been said I think you'll like my take on Stolen Memory so if you can stomach it you might hang around for that
either way thanks for reading

Review of chapter "Dossier: Justicar(1)" from
First, I just wanted to say that I love this story. Thank you for not only writing this, but also for updating on a regular basis.
I do have to say though that I have some serious reservations about the Xander/Jack pairing. Jack's character (in both your story and ME canon) reminds me a lot of a pre-Wilkins Faith. She isn't bad per se, but life hasn't been kind, so she's emotionally unstable and tends to expect the world in a certain way, coloured by her own experiences.
My guess is that people who would ship Xander/Jack think that Xander would be a stabilizing influence on her. In some ways, I can see how that would make sense; Xander's insightfulness and caring nature could be a real boon to Jack, not to mention the emotional maturity that he'd inevitably have gained over the centuries. This, however, is where I start to run into problems with the potential romance.
As I see it, the character of Xander that you portray is incredibly nuanced. The insightfulness and caring that Xander displayed during the Sunnydale years is still there, and if his characterization stopped there, I'd be less wary of the romance. However, the Xander in your story is infinitely more complex, and more importantly, is only starting to get over Dawn's death on an emotional level. In addition, I'd imagine the situation with Ashley hasn't exactly helped in Xander's own emotional stability in regards to relationships. His years of watching people around him die, as well as his experiences on Akuze have also contributed to what seems to me to be an understandable fear of abandonment. Couple this with Jack's emotional issues and tendency to lash out and you have a recipe for disaster.
Personally, I'd much prefer a Xander/Miranda pairing. She's strong enough emotionally that she and Xander would ground and stabilize each other, and damaged enough to still provide spice and drama for the story.
Anyway, that's my two cents. No matter what direction the romance in the story goes, you're pretty much guaranteed a reader until the end. Keep up the good work!
EDIT: Actually, that video kinda reinforces my point. Chronologically, by the time the Citadel DLC rolls around, Jack is a very different person. Most importantly, Citadel!Jack is post-ME2 loyalty mission where she's come to terms with her past. and post-Grissom Academy, where's she's found some purpose and stability in her life and isn't lashing out at the world around her.
In your story, it hasn't been all that long since she was broken out of prison, and the scars from the Cerberus experiments are still relatively fresh. There's a world of difference (at least for now) between Zeppo Effect!Jack and Citadel!Jack. Unless she goes through some drastic, quick, and frankly unbelievable character growth (and honestly, I think that you're too good a writer to shoehorn unrealistically paced character growth for the sake of a romance), I'm still not sold on the Xander/Jack pairing, at least not at this point of the story.
Comments from author:
This is the scene that sold me on Jack and Xander
I challenge you not to tear up a little during the tattoo scene
EDIT: Thank you for the compliments
CitadelDLC Jack is the endgame but right this second im focused on getting our happy couple to the tearful pargon romance of ME2
Jack and Xander have a long way to go before Xander gets his tattoo not the least of which is one hell of a war which Xander will be on the front lines of
I however would not count the Lawson sisters out of the mix just yet.
Xander had a rather profound effect on Miranda's life and destiny and that's not something Henry Lawson is going to sit still for.
If nine years of Buffy has taught us anything at all it is that big bads are at their worst when they honestly think they are in the right

Ahh man, I love the Xander/Garrus bantering. We need more of that.

Review of chapter "Dossier: Justicar(1)" from
Wow, this chapter is full of crazy fun.
Jack telling Simone off, the car talk of Xander's love life, Trevor and the possible reason for his wife to divorce him to the max, the meeting with the JistiMILF... I mean Justicar and her reaction to who the AY was.
Can't wait to see the rescue, the meeting with the Volus "God" and the mother meeting her daughter for the first time in years.
It's going to be crazy.
Keep up the good work.

This guy gets how a Jack romance is supposed to work I am unashamed to admit I was inspired by this take and used some of the ideas as a base for Xander's attempts at finding love with the psychotic biotic

Review of chapter "Interlude: And Now for Something More Sinister..." from
I just finished re-reading this and realized it was double the length of the first story and its not done! makes me wonder about ZE3 when it comes to be.
I still wonder why you had to bring Kennedy back with the insane farm girl there as well. I shudder at what WR&H are going to figure in and I wonder if the God King is going to figure into the final battle.
my minds going a million different directions so keep up the good work and remember there's your BL/BTVS world to play in too.

Review of chapter "Interlude: And Now for Something More Sinister..." from
Wow the excitement is really heating up in this story. Things are getting wild. New members are joining the crew in Sophie and Willow, (I love to see how they do their part for the crew) Morinith is cured of her 'hunger' by Xander and is becoming an adrenaline junkie love to see her reaction when they meet Samara (with the way things are going it's going to be soon) I see there's a bit of a rivalries in the Normandy with Willow and Liara and Jack and Miranda and in Jack and Miranda's case seems Xander's going to be in the middle since they're both attracted to him and with the last statement that Cordelia said she's going to put her 100 dollars in (As far as Cordy's concerned she won't put in something as cheap as 2 cents)
As in this chapter I was surprised that the clone was Kennedy. If Cerberus has Kennedy or rather a clone, who's the girl at the base that Jack wanted to go to? I have an idea who it is, but I won't reveal who it is, to quote River Song: Spoilers.
Can I say that I don't like Kai Lang? what he's doing to 'train' Kennedy it just added another reason why I can't when Team Shepard meets up with him. Not to mention that in one of the ME novels (the one that a lot of ME fans didn't like) Kai Lang killed one of my favorite characters. The way he did it was original but he still killed that character.
I can't wait to see what happens next. Keep it up
Comments from author:
I wrote this chapter in part because you and I... we know what a bastard Kai Lang is but many Buffy fans aren't on that page with us
plus Kai Lang killed a character im rather fond of , one who made a huge impact on Xander mission so im looking forward to our favorite Scooby rewriting that bit of canon

Review of chapter "Interlude: And Now for Something More Sinister..." from
Well, this has gone really nasty.
I also thought that Kennedy soul + Faith's body = Darth X, W, S and B but now that I have seen the picture that you have supplied the previous reviewer I theorize that when they fight her and she tells them who she is and what had happened to her... the Reapers will probably avoid the galaxy for a thousand years when they sense their rage and legends will be told of what they did to Timmy and his cohorts. But the stories will be tamer than what they actually did to them.
But that's just me. >:)
Keep up the good work.

"I requested a complete change to this design. I removed the boarder and the stripes on the back, so I pretty much started with a blank card. I had a photo on each side. The designer did an AMAZING job. I suggested some things, and she had even better ideas. I'm very happy with the design. One thing that I wish I could have seen before ordering is the texture of the 2 options for paper type. I understand this can be difficult to appreciate from a computer screen. But, they could post a link to a YouTube video showing the difference between the paper. The one I chose (I forget the name, but it was the NON-pearlized one) ended up having a 'bumpy' surface. I wish it was completely smooth, since it makes my photo look strange in some places. But, I didn't go with the pearlized paper b/c I didn't want it to be too shiny/sparkly. Seeing it on video would have helped me make a better decision possibly."
"First time ordering from WPD. Everything was perfect on my Save the Date card. I ordered the card with the chambord (plum) color. Arrived 4 days early. Definitely ordering Invitations with WPD."
"I used navy to personalize my save the dates and match my wedding colors. I added another line of text underneath, and it turned out perfectly. I used rounded edges which look great. I like how this card emphasized the picture of my fiance and I and the words "save the date". This card made it simple and straightforward which is what I wanted."
"I was very impressed with the design and the quality of the paper. It's very sturdy for a postcard. I am getting married in November, so I was looking for an elegant Fall design. The text is clear and to the point. Very easy to read and to post for an easy reminder. Also the customer service was excellent! They were very helpful when I called the next day when I needed to edit words before printing. I highly recommend this design for a fall wedding or any wedding paper diva product."
"I was able to change the colors on the card and they now go with the color theme of our wedding. The cards are on quality paper and just what I expected."

AOL will now require its entire sales team to pass the IAB Digital Media Sales Certification exam.
AOL will now require its entire sales team to pass the IAB Digital Media Sales Certification exam.
The exam tests team members' skills and knowledge for digital media advertising. According to AOL, the exam will keep its sales staff up to date with the ever-changing world of digital advertising. This marks the first widespread adoption of the test by a major company.
"AOL is dedicated to providing clients with the best digital advertising customer service, knowledge, and innovation. Customer service is a hallmark of AOL's business, and fundamental to building a long-term relationship with our clients," said AOL's head of sales strategy and operations Marta Martinez.
"By certifying all our sales employees and ensuring that they have a deep understanding of the interactive advertising platforms, technologies, and capabilities that impact the industry, we are demonstrating our dedication to our clients and staying ahead of the curve."
IAB's exams cover comprehension of the digital media advertising ecosystem. Subjects for the test include best ways to sell digital media, how to manage digital advertising campaigns, and how to analyze campaign performance.
The test is designed for salespeople with two to five years of experience in the field. IAB recommends that those who take the test already have a firm understanding of the digital advertising sales realm.
AOL marks the first major company to require its sales staff to take the test. Following the passing of the exam, AOL staff will be certificated by the IAB.
Non-AOL employees interested in taking the test can take it to get certified. The IAB charges $400 for IAB members and $500 for non-members.
"The digital advertising space is booming. With competition at an all-time high for talent in the digital advertising space, to recognize those who have attained the requisite skills and intelligence needed to succeed," said IAB VP of Training and Development Michael Theodore.
"The IAB Digital Media Sales Certification is the professional barometer that all digital media companies should aspire to, and we are thrilled that an industry leader like AOL has been so proactive about adopting it."

These are pretty good but I give 4 stars because there was no instructions on how or where to mount and there are several ways that can work but I just think some instructions explaining the options should be there. Also there should be some rubber or felt on the inside of the camp to avoid scratching paint or chrome. Finally they are not really "quick" release; they require an hex key wrench to install or remove. Other than that, so far so good.

Misunderstanding the Problem of Alvin Greene

Game 34: Flames make a rare trip to MSG
Tonight the Calgary Flames (13-15-4) make a rare trip to MSG. The two teams haven't played against each other since October 2011 and haven't squared off at MSG in 3+ years. There isn't much history between these two teams, so tonight's game could be a dud. Hopefully it won't be, as both teams are sub .500 and searching for some sort of identity.
Bob Hartley has the Flames running a 1-2-2 forecheck that can be used aggressively or conservatively depending on the game situation (time left in period, score, puck location, etc.). In the DZ, Calgary uses a low zone collapse, taking out shooting lanes and keeping things in tight. On special teams, they run a 1-3-1 and a diamond penalty kill.
On a separate note, I'm going to be doing a Q&A/mail bag post tomorrow. Drop me some questions in the comments section or shoot me an email.

Funny how quick I hear about the left complaining about the American Industrial complex and all it's evil etc.
Talk about the pot calling the kettle black?!!
China & Russia stumbling all over each other to sell weapons & arms in S. America & Carribean I find it all very amusing :)
It was not that fast.
First, diplomacy was discussed. Then the reasons why the leftists in power are chosing China, Russia, etc, and not US and old partners like England, that has some discreet but relevant investments in Brazil today. Go ask Lula!
History had to be discussed too, as Proud said he could see no reason for the feeling of the leftists about England.
We went from diplomacy to history lesson pretty fast in this forum!England had an important role in LA in the 1800s. That is undeniable, although it is also history and really irrelevant to the article at hand. The US, however, is quite a presence now (and was throughout the past century) and had a lot to do with overthrowing _democratically_ elected governments in the region (most notably in Chile and Brazil). As for a communist threat, the military could very well have fought it instead of toppling legitimate governments.
Proud Canadian,
Marxists in LAm have a lot of theories about the underdevelopment of their countries. They blame England too.
In Brazil, I am absolutely sure, you must remember those episodes about the Paraguay War or about the gold taken from here by the brits. Well, at least I have always heard things like these from some marxists friends. They love these stories and many others.
It is not about products, is about history.
When in the University, I had to study the history of the economic development of Brazil, and I can tell you: England was always involved and the teachers always gave a negative vision about that great country.
And of course, Marxs theories examples are always related to the first years fo the Industrial Revolution in England.
Britain and US are the main symbols of the " imperialism " for the leftists, and they are always using this word.
It does not mean the british do not have some business here today.
Mining, banks, energy, transports, etc. Big money, believe me.
But I understand you. People in the streets, in general, do not even know where is England. Well, if Lula is the president, you can guess the cultural level of the ordinary brazilian men.
By the way, I guess it was Prince Charles who became famous here, when he danced with a mulata called Pinah.
Mr. Hmisis,
The US has a long history in Latin America, but Britain is virtually unknown, it`s presence almost nul. I lived there for 25 years and can not recall as single British product sold in the area. The only time I recall of any news related to Britain was related to Princess Di and the ill comments made by price Phillip during his visit to Brazil. To suggest that anyone in LAm has any feelings whatsoever for Britain is short of ridiculous.
Great comment.
Thats what I use to say about situation of Brazil in the 60s.
The US helped to save the brazilian people from the comunist threat. For this, we must say " thank you " one thousand times to the north americans.
And Europe and the United States invested billions and billions in Brazil during decades, making people prosper, as you said. If there is still so much poverty in LAm, this is not because of US and Europe. It would be much worse without their help.
This imperialism talk is completely nonsense.
And those who talk about sovereignty now, do not say a word about how Cuba and the Soviet Union were trying to make another socialist/comunist revolution, training terrorists and guerrillas inside the brazilian territory. And the same happened in many LAm places.
To those that got insulted with the "backyard" comment.The author didn't call latin america the "backyard" of the US, he expressed that some in the USA think that, the economist is not to blame for that opinion.
For me a more appropiate term would be that latinamerica is the USA's "teenage kid". Questioning its authority, expecting allowance and then talking smack. In teh end when the kid grows up he will grow to understand what the parent was doing, maybe still disagrees but respects cause they were only trying to make them better.
If the US has the right to this who cares, but why not take their hand. Compare Puerto Rico and Cuba, Costa Rica and Nicaragua. South Korea and North Korea.
Its about making your people prosper.
Now that China has secured a leading role in the region of South-East Asia, it is gradually implementing the "silent diplomacy" in the developing countries of Africa and Latin America: it needs raw materials and, what is more important, is ready to invest generously in those countries.
That's why the ending sentence of this article seems a little too self-confident. While the US is preoccupied with tackling the financial crisis and EU still often hesitates diplomatically (now everyone is eager to promote the idea of 'Mediterranean Union') in its relations with developing countries, China can grab the opportunity to increase its presence there drastically.
It should be noted that in its quest to assure supply of raw materials, China and Chile agreed to a 20 year purchase plan and mammoth ore extraction deal. One would not presume Chile to be doing anything other than promoting and protecting its economic interest.
.. and britain is the partner that doesn't matter at all as their main exports are queens and poppy stars. This article reveals just how much envy and jealousy there is in Britain becuase the Russians and the Chinese beat the US and the UK to South American influence. Even the French are doing better than the Brits in Latin America. Suffer, Britannia!
I forgot to mention that we all know how the Military feels about Hugo :)
I have to wonder at Hugo's wisdom of building a Kalishnikov factory when oil revenues are drying up and the freebie promises to the poor dry up with them. With a populace that will go out in the streets by the thousands at a drop of a hat and with no shortage of criminals, I cant see any good results from this decision. While I certainly dont begrudge the Venezuelans the right to choose any Govt. they wish at any time, I sure wouldnt want to be in close proximity to a bunch of 12 year olds with new ak-74's.
I think Hugo's going to need all the friends he can get.
LAm leftists (not only LAm) love to scream against US and UK. But the idea that when in power they should come to sense and run their concrete international ties around US and europe shows envy but not by them.
Assume polititians speeches and actions are the same is to underestimate them. Even in the hispanic, underdeveloped, poor, ignorant and left-leaning LAm.
What power would latin america have to influence the relationship with US? Obama's democrat (even) more anti free trade congress will make non US trade ties more relevant (see Colombia trade agreement). Besides the natural lower demmand and higher protecionism from them and europe with the current crisis. Not ignoring the relevance or US and europe in the world, there is economic life in this planet beyound them.
Why should LAm factor Obama's race into their relationship with US? Wouldn't this be racist?
The basic feeling of the leftists of Latin America in relation to the United States and UK is a mix of envy and paranoia.
In general, they blame these two countries for the under development of the region, when is exactly the opposite.
People of LAm don t need other nations people to make themselves poor. They are the best on it.
Now, they ve got some power to change the relationship with US, they are looking for these old Red Club friends. As if they were reliable and better than the north americans.
It s very clear that this is not just about trade partners diversification, commerce strategy. Which, by the way, is not so bad. But ideology always brings losses to businessmen, no matter what color they wear.
I am curious to see how the LAm leftists will deal with Obama.
The most likely is that he will defend the US workers and to do that, he can be a little too much nationalist.
Will they be so agressive with an african-american?
Could that be more racist?
What's is the deal if latin american country are maintaining economic and diplomatic relations with the rest of the world besides US and europe? Aren't everybody, including US and europe doing exactly this nowadays?
Where is the point about who is the partner that matters, aren't trade partners usually supposed to be simultaneous in the world market?
It's interesting to see the countries Hu Jintao picked to tour. On one hand is a visit to Cuba, a country that is a one party state and nominally Communist like China.On the other hand, Mr. Hu's visit to Costa Rica is certainly a show of support for a country that has only recently stopped recognizing the Republic of China as an official country.Russia and Iran have to cater a little bit to Venezuela's and Brazil's self interest, since they may soon be at risk of being overtaken by these countries in terms of influence. However, Mr. Hu's travel agenda shows that he is beholden to none of these Latin American countries, and can have them come to him.
racecake you must be a widow of FHC, people like you will say anything against the Brazilian people or the country, because you speak a Xuxa's English, you think that you are Anglo-Saxon. People like you are stupid in thinking that if Brazil had been a British colony it would be a developed country, just look at Jamaica or other poor Caribbean Islands. Brazilian are hard worker people, they 44 hours/week, while the majority of HM subjects just work 35 or less so they can get benefit and stay more hours at home scratching you know what and eating fat stuff,(the reason why they are so fat), that is the main reason why the employers in UK prefer the Polish and other Eastern European. They smoke like a chamine, they ask for brake for a fag each half hour. I live in UK because my wife is British and I have two kids, and being British(Anglo-Saxon) she don't have enough brain to learn other language. I am proud of being Brazilian, and I am proud also of President Lula.The Anglo-Saxon world is FINISHED.
I think there is an overstatement about the importance of China to Latin America. It is a simplification. And also: what is Latin America ? Can you really put Cuba, Chile, Brazil, Uruguay on the same sack?
China depends on Latin America's raw materials as much as Latin America depend on China to buy them. Dependence is a relation of power, and there exists no such a thing in the relations between China and LatAm...
The importance of Iran and Russia to LatAm is ZERO.
US and Europe's influence is waning. Europe's is practicaly gone, no one cares for Europe in LatAm. US's is going on the same line....
As a recent visitor to Bolivia, I read with interest the reference to
the 'socialist' government of Bolivia. When foreign interests were
extracting minerals at firesale prices, was the government of Bolivia
tagged 'shadow, puppet, or sellout?' That Bolivians want to extract a
higher 'rent' for the extraction of their minerals by foreigners, that they want a
constitution, more autonomy and some degree of ecological cleanliness,
this hardly seems 'socialistic.' Wouldn't 'representative, sensible,
and 'government of the people, by the people and for the people be more
This article has something to set it apart from the caricature of Latin America we usually find in the English-speaking press (read US papers): it recognises that Latin American international ties have always been diverse and are getting more so.The "backyard" thing is insulting, but American writers and politicians use it without seeming to notice it. Don't they see the obvious 19th-century-imperialism association? It makes them sound like, say, a Russian autocrat explaining his deep worries about the Caucasus republics or the Baltic states.

June 28 (Bloomberg) -- Nissan Motor Co. plans to boost production capacity in China by as much as 600,000 vehicles over the next six years as Japan's second-largest automaker expands in the world's biggest auto market.
China and North America are also the "two main contenders" as possible locations for a plant to produce Nissan's luxury Infiniti brand vehicles, Chief Executive Officer Carlos Ghosn said in an interview in Yokohama yesterday.
"We are envisioning breaking the monopoly of Infiniti being made in Japan," Ghosn said. "Infiniti is going to grow, and we cannot depend on one currency for a brand that is global."
The automaker plans to boost sales in emerging economies and to capture a larger share of the high-margin luxury-car market as growth slows in Japan. Nissan aims to increase its share of the global car market to 8 percent over the next six years from 5.8 percent last fiscal year as the company expands in fast-growing markets such as China, it said in a midterm plan yesterday.
Nissan is targeting a 10 percent share of the Chinese market by fiscal 2016, compared with 6.2 percent now, it said.
The automaker's new plant in Brazil, which will have capacity to build 200,000 vehicles a year, is expected to begin production by the end of 2013, Ghosn said. The carmaker aims to expand its market share in the South American nation to 5 percent from 1.2 percent now.

Please HELP! Best NCLEX RN review book?!
- 2Sep 18, '11 by court304I'm new here and I will go ahead and apologize if I am beating a dead horse with this thread, just wanted some input/advice from people currently using or have ever used any of these materials. I have spent several hours reading over previous threads about the recommended review books for the RN Exam. I have narrowed it down to 4 books:
1. Saunder's Comprehensive Review- 5th Edition
2. Prioritization, Delegation, and Assignment- 2nd Edition
3. Kaplan NCLEX-RN Examination 2011-2012 Edition w/CD: Strategies, Practice, and Review
4. Lippincott's Q&A Review for NCLEX-RN- 10th Edition
I have read many, many reviews on each and they all seem to be really good resources. I'm fairly certain I will be buying the Prioritization, Delegation, and Assignment review no matter what. The other 3 are what I am unsure of so I was hoping someone could help me. I have contemplated buying all of these...I think I am freaking out. haha. ANY input would be greatly appreciated!!!
Also, I already have the NCLEX 4000 at home and have read mixed reviews about using it as a study tool for the exam so any advice about this as well will help.
I think the NCLEX is giving me heart palpitations!!!
- 6Hi court304! I took and passed the NCLEX after the first try and after just 75 questions just last week! I highly recommend the kaplan review book (of course most questions in the CD) and if you have time, use the Saunders book also. I used just those two, but mostly the Q-bank questions from Kaplan. Do EXACTLY what Kaplan says to do, for example, for a 3-week plan they will say to do 50 questions/day until the day of your exam. Here's your job though, after EVERY practice exam, please please please review EVERY question, whether right or wrong. Doing this process w/ every question IS your studying session! Don't try to study all content, system by system. What I did w/ the Saunders book was use that to touch up on my weaknesses. For instance, my weakness was med surg aka physiology adaptation. So I did all 500 of those questions, which is mainly factual, short answer style questions. Kaplan has legit NCLEX questions. Saunders does not, however, is really good soley for content review. I say legit because almost all nlcex reviews will say "NCLEX style questions" however, I found that only Kaplan gave challenging questions THAT WILL PREPARE YOU. Hope this helps!
- 2Forgot to mention this: while reviewing all rationales to all your q-bank questions w/ Kaplan, have all resources in front of you such as your pharm book, med surg, maternity and peds text books. And just do your research according to the answers you truly don't understand, whether they are RIGHT (because sometimes our right answers are right guesses) or WRONG.
- 0Sep 18, '11 by court304Thank you so much klaloan!!! Your advice will definitely help and I really appreciate it. I actually went and bought both the Saunders and Kaplan books this morning. I flipped through them when I got home and I can already tell they will be helpful! I'm going to briefly go over some areas I don't feel very comfortable with first and then I'm going to start with the review. Thanks again for all your help and I will keep you updated! CONGRATS on passing!!!!!!
- 3Sep 19, '11 by ladsideka-plan!!!! ka-plan!!!! ka-plan!!!!! oh, and i did i mention ka-plan?!!!:d:d:d
75 questions on first attempt = rn for a year and a half and counting....... ka-plan!!!! ka-plan!!!!! ka-plan!!!!!
- 0Sep 21, '11 by court304I actually ended up ordering the Prioritization book also because I figured it wouldn't hurt and I have heard lots of good things about it. I struggle some with questions about assigning patients so hopefully this book will help!
I'm quickly becoming best friends with my Kaplan book. I might even be in love.
Thanks for all the help and advice!!! Only a week and a half left. Yikes!
- 0Sep 22, '11 by kinsellaI used Saunders Comprehensive Review 4th edition ( much better if you have the 5th edition) - IT REALLY HELPED ME A LOT with the Content/ Nursing concepts/ disease process etc.! read it cover to cover.
Saunders CD 4th Edition - answer as many as you can.
I scored 85-90% (number of items ranging from 75-100, you can stop your 100 item exam on item number 76) after I finished the book.
Answered Kaplan QT 1-7 (KAPLAN is recommended because you can practice criticial thinking) I did kaplan after finishing the Saunders book.
4 days before my exam, I visited the random fact throwing thread of Allnurses.com and yeah found mnemonics for prioritization and delegation, transmission based prec = A BIG HELP also!
God Bless!
- 0Sep 25, '11 by court304Thank you so much!!! I have actually been looking at some random fact threads and I was surprised at how some of the little things have helped. Getting different views from people has definitely helped me to understand certain topics better.
I love Saunders for content but I feel like the questions on the NCLEX are probably a little closer to Kaplan. I might have the wrong assumption but I'm doing questions from both books so either way, it will hopefully help.
Thanks again for the advice!

Dozens of golf carts destroyed on Hilton Head
HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. (AP) — Authorities say arson is suspected in a fire that destroyed dozens of golf carts on Hilton Head Island.
The Island Packet of Hilton Head reports (http://bit.ly/Th9Pnc ) the fire early Monday destroyed the golf cart barn at the Hilton Head Plantation Golf Club. There were 52 golf carts in the barn and all were destroyed, as was the building.
Beaufort County sheriff's deputies say it appears that a utility cart was used to break through a gate by whoever started the fire. It's not known yet how the fire was set.
There's no immediate damage estimate.

Could he be that someone?
"Ah...it's too late for me."
He laughs and it's hard telling whether the statement's just another self-effacing sneeze, a sideman's automatic reaction. "I can accept the spotlight for short periods of time," he says. "But I don't know that I'd want to be the focus."
The current focus, Lyle Lovett, has become a close friend as well as a steady employer. And his shows give Hagen a rare, delicious chance to tweak the public ear, coming as he does "from the underdog position of being a cellist" on a pop stage. Unexpected. Underrated. And entirely, boneheadedly, underestimated.
Lyle Lovett and His Large Band perform at 8:00 p.m. Saturday at Sunrise Musical Theatre, 5555 95th Ave, 741-7300. Tickets cost $22.75 and $25.75.

Daniel Radcliffe on the Cover of Details Magazine
Daniel Radcliffe graces the cover of Details Magazine once more this coming October issue. The Details rep sent us a preview copy of the cover for all of you to gander at. You can also read their online version of the article.
In it, Dan talks about wanting to play a drag queen, says some rather colorful "lines", so be cautious when clicking on that link to read it if you are easily offended by "grown-up" language, and do carry with you your sense of humor as well. Excerpts from the article:
On his dream role: "I think part of me would love to play a drag queen, just because it would be an excuse to wear loads of eye makeup."
On his generation: "I don't pretend to do anything particularly wild. People talk about rebellion and they say, 'Where is the teenage angst?' But I say I try to do it simply by the choices I make in the work I do. I just like wrong-footing people. I write poetry and I love it. I like being different from most other people in my generation."
The video with photo spread is now live on their online article.
Click HERE to see the larger version of the cover in our gallery (just click on its image to see it bigger).
The October issue of Details Magazine hits news stands next Tuesday, September 9th.

Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam parliamentarian Adhi Sankar on Wednesday said the party was working in tandem with the Congress on the Public Accounts Committee, denying reports that suggested that the DMK and the Congress had differences over the contentious draft report on the 2G spectrum allocation scam.
In a statement here, Mr. Adhi Sankar, who has been included in the PAC recently, said that at Tuesday's meeting of the committee, a majority of its members, including those from the Congress and the DMK, objected to Chairman Murli Manohar Joshi's attempt to have the draft report taken up for consideration again. "We contended that a report that has been rejected by the majority of its members should not be placed before the PAC again," the MP said.
"I participated in the discussion and said the draft report had been rejected by the previous PAC, but as there are new members, including myself, copies should be given to us. Newly inducted Congress members also echoed this view. Thereafter, the meeting was adjourned without any decision," Mr. Adhi Sankar said.
"Some media reports say the DMK and the Congress have different views. I wish to clarify that in discussions in the PAC on the 2G spectrum issue, the DMK will work with the Congress and share the same views," he added.
Keywords: 2G scam, PAC report row, Murli Manohar Joshi

Ezel (Turkish pronunciation: [eˈzæl]) is a Turkish crime drama TV series that was initially broadcast by Show TV in autumn 2009. In 2010, it was transferred to ATV. It has since gained a considerably large fan base in Turkey. Although it is set in modern day Istanbul, Turkey, filming also took place in North Cyprus, Croatia, and England. It appears that after 71 episodes, roughly 90 minutes each (two hours with commercials), the series came to an end after two seasons.
In 1997 in Istanbul, Turkey, Ömer Uçar (İsmail Filiz) and his family lived a comfortable lower middle-class life, until one day his life was changed forever. Ömer had two best friends that he had known for years, Ali and Cengiz. Ömer worked with Ali (Barış Falay) as a motor mechanic, and Cengiz (Yiğit Özşener) when Ömer met and fell in love with Eyşan (Cansu Dere). Ali and Cengiz soon become convinced by Serdar Tezcan (Salih Kalyon), who is also Eyşan's father, to rob a casino. Serdar devises the whole scheme, and figures that it will require four people to pull off a successful robbery. Cengiz was up first in the plot to rob the casino, he was the mole and was working there in order to gain access. Ali comes into play next as the ruthless killer on the night of the robbery. The third accomplice is Eyşan (Cansu Dere), the skilled con-woman who manipulates men for their money as a career and this time her victim would be Ömer. In Serdar's plan, Ömer would be the fourth person to complete the job. Ömer is blamed for the robbery by way of implanting false evidence, misleading the police and ceasing all other investigations on the matter. Serdar's primary motive was the money, though his love for a good con also played a role. Eyşan's, Cengiz' and Ali's motives would be revealed later in the series.
Ali and Cengiz at the time believed that Ömer would only get a few years in jail for stealing the money; however, the robbery went wrong and Ali had to shoot and kill the security guard. The same gun that was used in the robbery was pointed at Ömer by Cengiz just a few days before the crime. After having too many drinks, Cengiz, in a drunken state and wearing gloves, points the gun at Ömer, after which he manages to take the gun away from Cengiz only to leave his prints on the gun, sealing his fate. Further evidence to implicate Ömer to the crime is a jacket that he had previously worn which was also dumped with the gun ensuring the police a swift arrest.
In 1997, when Ömer was blamed for the crime, the commissar (played by Mesut Akusta) went to the prison cell where Ömer was in there for a couple hours. Whilst the chief commissar was inside the cell, he kept inquiring about the whereabouts of the money, even though Ömer kept denying having done the robbery. Because of his lack of cooperation, Ömer was beaten up for hours. Afterwards, during Ömer's trial, the judge showed the picture of the murder weapon used in the robbery, a gun, and a picture of a similarly related jacket. Although Ömer was still insisting that he was innocent, a witness was called to the stand. That witness was revealed to be Eyşan, who falsely testified that it was Ömer who robbed the casino and murdered the security guard. In anger, he escaped from the clutches of the[clarification needed]
Eyşan's testimony was to re-establish the evidence and accusations, cementing her betrayal. The plan worked successfully and all the while Ali, Cengiz, Serdar and Eyşan got away with murder and millions of dollars. Ömer went to jail for the crime he didn't commit the day after he proposed to Eyşan. During his incarceration, Ömer had some very hard times, being beaten almost daily by the chief prison warden who was convinced that Ömer had indeed committed the crime, and wanted to know the exact whereabouts of the money. His family was even threatened, and so his hatred for his old friends grew for what they had done to him. Ömer's only luck was to be taken under the wing of Ramiz Karaeski (referred to as Uncle Ramiz, played by Tuncel Kurtiz), once a powerful mafia type figure who treated Ömer like one of his sons and offered him some protection while imprisoned.
In 2005, Ömer had his face badly cut by the chief warden with two other guards by using a riot in the prison as an excuse to beat Ömer, so he would tell where the money was. Ömer pretended to tell him, so that when the warden dismissed the other guards, a fight to the death meant the head warden was killed. With help from Ramiz, it was made known that Ömer had died but his face was unrecognisable, when actually Ömer escaped the jail and had full plastic surgery. Ömer Uçar then changes his name to Ezel Bayraktar (meaning "eternity" in Turkish), played by Kenan İmirzalıoğlu), and returns to get his revenge, unknown to his previous friends, Eyşan and Cengiz (who are now married and have a son), and Ali (who is head of security at Cengiz's hotel) The once simple boy becomes a man exceptionally skilled at gambling, reading people, and fighting, and has considerably high class in society. He is helped by his assistants Kamil (Güray Kip) and Sebnem (Bade İşçil), as well as his prison mentor Ramiz Karaeski.
Eyşan's motive for framing Ömer was to save her sister Bahar's life. Serdar explained to Eyşan that Bahar was terminally ill and would need expensive treatment out of the country at better medical facilities, such as in England. The money would be the only way to pay for that treatment. A torn Eyşan ultimately chose to send her love to what she thought would be a short prison sentence in exchange for her sister's recovery. Cengiz went along with the plan because he fell in love with Eyşan the moment he saw her, and he would do anything she asked. Besides, Cengiz figured that with Ömer in prison he would have a clear path to winning Eyşan's heart.
Ali's motive was the big mystery. Like Eyşan, he greatly regretted sending Ömer to prison, and much later in the series it was revealed that he did so only at Eyşan's prodding. She reminded him that Ali's own father had gone to prison years earlier, having taken the blame for Ali's accidental fatal shooting of a young boy when Ali was a teenager. Ali's father made his son promise him to "become a big man," and so Ali figured his time was running out, and the casino robbery would give him the money and power that would fulfill his promise to his father.
As the first season closes, Ömer, now Ezel, eventually reveals his identify to his former friends, after he believes that he has punished them enough. A second plot comes to the forefront, however, and intertwines with the first. A new villain emerges, more powerful than Ramiz in terms of connections, considered the most powerful man in Turkey, in fact: Kenan Birkan. It turns out that Ramiz and Kenan were best friends 30 years earlier, bitterly torn apart by their common love interest, Selma. It is also revealed that even though Ramiz genuinely loves Ömer/Ezel like a son, part of why he groomed him was to create a good and trustworthy right-hand man to help him battle Kenan.
As the second and final season winds to an ultimate conclusion, the plot moves along at a furious pace, with main characters killed off in substantially every episode. In the final episode (71), the only ones left standing are Ezel, Eyşan, their young son, Ezel's mother and father, Ali, his wife (Ramiz' daughter) Azad, their baby boy Tevfik aka "Tefo" (named after Ali's deceased right-hand man and dear friend), Bade (Ezel's brief love interest), and Sebnem, Tevfik's widow. Ezel (Ömer) and Eyşan have recaptured their love, but an insanely jealous Cengiz rapes Eyşan and nearly kills her, informing the police that Ezel did it. As she lies in the hospital in critical condition, Eyşan reveals that it was Cengiz and not Ezel who did that to her. Meanwhile, Ezel and Ali catch up with Cengiz at a lighthouse and kill him. Ezel then returns to the hospital where the doctors tell him that Eyşan has only a few hours left to live. She wants to die in Ömer's arms.
In a vague and rather metaphysical conclusion, Ezel and Eyşan ride on a train as Eyşan's eyes close and it appears that she has died. Ezel then drinks some liquid from a ring that Ramiz had given him with the instructions never to "wear the ring" (i.e., drink from it) unless he was ready for a new life. Ezel's eyes also close and he tells Eyşan that he is coming to be with her, and that Bahar (who had been killed much earlier in the series) is waiting for them, too. The camera pans to other passengers on the train, the beloved friends and family of Ömer and Eyşan that had been killed, including Ramiz, Bahar, and Ezel's little brother, Mert.
In the final scene, a young man on a motorcycle pulls up to the lighthouse and tells the guard "I am here to see my father." When asked to identify himself, the young man reveals he is Ömer's son. As he approaches the door, the camera shows a silhouette of a man opening the door, and making a gesture as if to scratch his head, much like Ömer/Ezel used to. The audience is left wondering what really happened: Whether that is Ezel, whether he died on that train with Eyşan, or whether he lived. Whether that liquid in the ring was poison or not. Whether or not the train scene, in fact, was real or imagined. That all leaves the possibility of a third season wide open, even though most of the characters have been killed off.
Most scenes of Ezel were filmed in Istanbul. The location used for the night club scenes from the 1970s was Sultana's Dinner and 1001 Nights Show.[1]

Ezel in other languages[edit]
Ezel was translated multiple times and broadcast in foreign channels, most notably to Persian language by Gem TV in 2010, Czech language by Prima Love in 2011, Arabic language by MB4 in 2012 and in Urdu language by Geo Kahani in 2013.
Armenia's leading TV channel, Shant TV, purchased the script rights to the show and produced its own TV series featuring local actors and actresses who are striking for their similarity to their Turkish peers. The Armenian producers were hiding the fact that the show was originally a Turkish production, fearing protests from the Armenian audience.[3]

Billy Hunter endorses Paul Pierce, decertification push; players gather enough petition signatures to force vote
Paul Pierce indeed led the NBA players' push for decertification, but he did it with the consent of players union chief Billy Hunter.
Despite being the Celtics' player representative, Pierce was the only team rep not present at the mandatory union meeting yesterday. ESPN cited sources who said Pierce did not miss the meeting as a boycott.
Pierce's decertification push has succeeded, or rather, it has advanced to the next step. Hunter said the league garnered enough petition signatures to force a decertification vote, which would take place 45-60 days after the players association officially files the decertification with the National Labor Relations Board — if, that is, the players decide to file the motion. The players are waiting on the results of Wednesday's negotiations, when David Stern's ultimatum looms like an approaching tornado. (CBS Sports)
"I think Paul is kind of frustrated with the process," Hunter said after a news conference in which the players said they were rejecting the league's latest take-it-or-leave-it proposal. "Paul has been at the bargaining table and he doesn't feel that we've been making any kind of progress. And so he thought that maybe that's necessary. We don't have a lot of options and that's the option Paul was pushing – still is pushing."
Asked in a small group of reporters if he's cool with that, Hunter said, "Of course. Listen, I'm cool with Paul and all these guys. I think it's very important. I'm happy that Paul and the others are involved in the process. That's always been the problem with athletes, that a lot of stuff is foisted on them and they have no input. Paul has been actively engaged, he understands, he's been in five or six of our negotiating sessions, he talks to me, and when they had the (decertification) calls, he called and let me know that they were having the calls. And I said, 'Hey, I'm not at all opposed to you doing that.' … I endorse what Paul did."
If nothing else, the players themselves have remained strong during the negotiations. David Stern has been pummeling them with haymakers and ultimatums. Reports have this hardline owner demanding one thing and that hardline owner demanding another. But the players themselves have remained strong. Other than JaVale McGee's brain fart (vintage McGee), when he told reporters players were ready to fold, then subsequently denied the comments despite video evidence, and a few tweets or text messages here and there, most players seem banded together willing to follow Hunter and Derek Fisher's lead.
Of course, the players BRI split request has dwindled to 50% down from last year's 57%, owners haven't made any concessions whatsoever relative to the prior CBA, and according to Ken Berger the players have already conceded more money ($330 million) for the coming year than the owners claim to have lost last season. So maybe I'm giving the players too much credit.
Wednesday's negotiations (assuming the two sides meet) are likely to lead to a resolution, or a cloudy future of legal maneuvering and hardline stances. I vote the former, though I wouldn't bet my (admittedly minuscule) life savings.

Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni said lack of collective effort hurtled the team to its second successive loss against England. The Indian captain said the fault lay more with the batting order which should "take up the responsibility".
"We need to score more runs. It was a very good wicket to bat on. Out of the top seven batsmen most of us will have to score runs at the same time," Dhoni said at the end of the third Test here at the Eden Gardens on Sunday.
"We need to bring up a score of 400 plus which the bowlers can look to defend. If you don't score too many runs in the first innings and the opponents score runs, you would find yourself under pressure," he added.
The Indian captain did not have any harsh words for the bowlers. "Overall, the bowlers are doing well. If you are not putting runs on the board, you can't question the bowlers. I felt the spinners have done a really good job but a bit more contribution from the fast bowlers would really help the side," Dhoni said.
The captain said the team is passing through transition and one should stop saying recall the "legends", who are not likely to return.
Self-belief needed
"The legends are not there and the youngsters will have to perform. It's a situation where everybody will feel a bit of pressure. But we will want to get rid of this and back each other well. We need to have self-belief, which is very important," the Indian captain said about the rebuilding process.
When asked whether the defeats would put his captaincy under threat, Dhoni said the job of a leader is to steer the team out of crisis. "It is easier for me to say I will quit captaincy.
"A leader is needed when the team is in crisis. I cannot run away from my responsibility, which is to get the team together and be ready for the next match," he said.
Pitch expectations
On his expectations about the pitch in the fourth Test in Nagpur, Dhoni said, "Can't say what is there and have to go and look how the wicket has been prepared."
About Zaheer Khan not getting much success in the series, Dhoni said the bowler will hopefully find a solution himself. "It would be for him to find a solution to become more effective.
"He is fit and from behind (the stumps) he seems to be bowling in the right areas and also swinging the ball well. Maybe the batsmen are playing him better," Dhoni said.
Keywords: England tour of India, Eden Garden Test, India defeat, M.S. Dhoni

Local novelist, poet and playwright Karen Blomain passed away Wednesday, leaving a legacy of creative writing works that span more than 30 years.
Published for the first time in 1980, the Scranton native would go on to compile a total of four volumes of poetry, two novels and numerous short stories as well as several plays performed in venues throughout the country.
"Karen's narratives chronicled the character and characters of the coal region," fellow local author Craig Czury said.
"Her poems are written out of the everyday backyard grit we all breathed growing up in our dingy coal towns," he said.
In addition to her work as a writer, Blomain lent her expertise to others by teaching English at Keystone College, Kutztown University and Wilkes University, as well as conducting writing workshops in France, Austria, Russia and throughout the United States.
One person who benefited from one of Blomain's workshops was Laurie McCants, a member of the Bloomsburg Theatre Ensemble.
After participating in one of Blomain's afternoon workshops, McCants said, she carried Blomain's words with her as inspiration during production of the BTE's music-theater piece "Hard Coal."
"She was a wonderful writer, and I think of her as one of our great 'coal region' poets. She etched poetical portraits of our region, and taught me how to look at this landscape with love," McCants said.
Already an established poet and playwright, Blomain would have her first novel published in 2000.
"A Trick of Light" follows the story of Hattie Darling, who mourns her husband's untimely death only to find that he had taken a second wife. The story follows Hattie as she decides to confront the other woman and reveals the understanding the two eventually come to possess.
The second in what was to be a three-part series, "The Season of Lost Children," traces 50 years of the interwoven lives and friendship of three women in a Pennsylvania college town.
Educated in Lackawanna County and New York state, Blomain completed her undergraduate degree at Marywood College, her master's degree in English at The University of Scranton and her MFA in Creative Writing at Columbia University.
She later married Michael Downend, a writer and photographer. They would go on to have nine children together.
Blomain's obituary can be seen on page 8A.

A new study predicts that more than half the people in 39 states will be obese by 2030.
Mississippi is expected to still be fattest state in the nation for at least two more decades. The report predicts two-thirds of that state's adults will be obese by 2030. That would be an astounding jump from Mississippi's current obesity rate of 35 percent.
The new projections were released Tuesday by Trust for America's Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The two organizations regularly report on obesity to raise awareness,
They used government figures for their predictions. But their dismal forecast goes beyond the 42 percent national obesity level that federal health officials project by 2030.
Today, about 36 percent of Americans are obese.
