My reading of the range rule varies from what I would expect. The rule refers to the squares "between" the hero and the target. So if the hero is in a straight line to its target and there are three empty squares between them, the range is three. To me, a range of three would mean the arrow falls in the square just in front of the target, to hit the target, the arrow would have to go one more square, into the one occupied by the target, so the range would be four. Either really is fine, but I would like to do it as the rules intend.
Very basic range question

The wording is (p. 12) :
"count the number of spaces to the target space. This number is the distance between the spaces."
The expression "between" is preceded by the expression "to the target space" (which, IMO, includes the target space). So the distance between attacker and target is equal to the number of spaces between them plus the targeted space.
In fact, I don't know of any game which counts range differently.
An adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered. An inconvenience is an adventure wrongly considered.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ A veteran Johnson County legislator is not seeking re-election so that she can pursue a master's degree in public health.
Sen. Barbara Allen, an Overland Park Republican, said she decided to seek the degree after surviving breast cancer. She was diagnosed with the disease in 2005.
Allen is chairwoman of the Senate Assessment and Taxation Committee. She also serves on the Education and Judiciary committees.
Now 47, Allen was first elected to the House in 1988. She served there until 2000, when she won the first of two Senate terms.
She enrolled in the master's of public health program at the University of Kansas School of Medicine last fall. She plans to start full-time studies this fall.

I registered for quite a bit in a good range of high and low. I already have tons of newborn to six month clothes as I have a 3 month old nephew and 3 second cousins that are 6 months old and the clothes are being handed down to me. Relatives have already given me their "old" highchair, 2 strollers, infant car seat (which is actually only 6 mo old), and I'll be getting handed down a bouncy seat & entertainment center later.
I'm guessing that I'll get some little things and new clothes and blankies from the work shower tomorrow. I'm hoping that some of the larger items will get picked up by my closer family members or perhaps a gift card to purchase some of the larger items. I actually don't expect my mom to purchase anything. She's not big on gift giving (I didn't receive a gift from my first son or a wedding present) but she's the caregiver for this baby so that's no big deal LOL. I would expect my MIL to purchase one of the larger gifts, maybe the crib or the rocking chair :)

Mine is this Saturday! I am so excited. I'll be taking the 6 hr trip home to Orlando, which is a tiny bit nerve wrecking for me. I'm terrified *knock on wood* I'll go into labor. I highly doubt it, but I'm just a bit paranoid. I know for a fact the carseat/stroller has been purchased, but I'm not sure about everything else. I think when people were RSVPing to my mom suggested small or gift cards so we won't have to rent a Uhaul for the trip back to GA. Even if we don't get everything we need my sibilings have kids so I will definitely have hand me downs, I'll be covered.
As far as a theme goes, I have no idea. All of the planning is going on in Orlando. My family isn't too big on themes so I think there will just be a bunch of pink everywhere. I can't wait!

Russian energy company Rosneft together with ExxonMobil have offered engineering contracts to CB&I UK and Foster Wheeler Energy for a Russian Far East liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant.
Rosneft and ExxonMobil intend to finalise the project design by the end of 2014, including front-end engineering and design documentation for the LNG plant, associated facilities and gas pipeline, as well as engineering studies and environmental impact assessment.
CB&I UK and Foster Wheeler Energy will be awarded separate contracts for the initial phase front end engineering and design (FEED).
Following submission by the companies of their respective concepts and design, Rosneft and ExxonMobil will evaluate the companies' work product and award a contract for the second phase of FEED.
The plant design capacity of the project is expected to be 5 million tpy and may be expanded in the future. The liquefaction plant will receive natural gas feedstock from Rosneft's reserves in the Far East and other Sakhalin gas resources.
"We are pleased with the technical progress of our joint team of experts from Rosneft and ExxonMobil," commented Rosneft President Igor Sechin. "With our initial FEED contractors on board now we will see the project begin to take shape in a matter of months. We are taking a determined approach with this project to help monetize the gas resources of Russia."
"We look forward to working with Rosneft and our initial FEED contractors on further evaluation of specific technical and commercial aspects of a potential LNG project," said Glenn Waller, president of ExxonMobil Russia. "Special attention will be given during the design phase to reduce the environmental impact on the unique ecosystem of the area and to developing local infrastructure."

Mass. Gov: Utility To Pursue Cape Wind Power Deal
BOSTON (AP) ¿ Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick has announced that National Grid will pursue a long term deal with Cape Wind to purchase power from its proposed 130 turbine wind farm.
Patrick said Wednesday that such a deal is critical to securing financing for the Nantucket Sound project and getting it operating in time to qualify for federal incentives that could reduce its $1 billion cost by 30 percent.
The timeline for the talks between Cape Wind and the utility has not been determined. The state Department of Public Utilities must still approve the negotiations.
The Cape Wind project, which would be the nation's first offshore wind farm, has faced stiff opposition since it was proposed in 2001 and is still awaiting final regulatory approval.

The Company recently announced its intention to acquire development right of a lignite coal resource project and construct a new production facility nearby. Acquiring this mine is of great strategic importance as humic acid, which is extracted from lignite coal, accounts for the largest percentage of the Company's cost of goods sold and it is important for Yongye to secure this crucial resource at a cost effective price. This acquisition will help the Company ensure that its fast growing Shengmingsu business won't be subject to fluctuations in market price, quality or delivery of this key raw material.
The new production facility that the Company began construction recently will help the Yongye continue to meet the strong demand for its products in the domestic agricultural market in China. In addition, Yongye expects the new facility, once complete, to lead to significant cost savings as a result of the increasing vertical integration of the Company's business. Upon completion, the new facility will expand annual production capacity for Yongye's Shengmingsu plant nutrient product from 10,000 tons per annum currently to 30,000 tons per annum, and that for its Shengmingsu animal nutrient product from 1,000 tons per annum currently to 11,000 tons per annum. The new facility is expected to be operational by the end of the third quarter of 2010.
Capital expenditures for the new production facility are expected to be between $15 million to $20 million. The Company plans to use proceeds from its December 2009 financing towards the construction.
Mr. Wu added, "We expect to continue to see strong organic growth in our
business driven by geographic expansion into new markets, increased
penetration in existing markets, additional marketing and brand bu

The definitive collection of Emerson's major speeches, essays, and poetry, The Essential Writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson chronicles the life's work of a true "American Scholar."
As one of the architects of the transcendentalist movement, Emerson embraced a philosophy that championed the individual, emphasized independent thought, and prized "the splendid labyrinth of one's own perceptions." More than any writer of his time, he forged a style distinct from his European predecessors and embodied and defined what it meant to be an American. Matthew Arnold called Emerson's essays "the most important work done in prose."

We are considering our backup process and it would be interesting to see how some others do things.
At the moment our data is copied (using RoboCopy) across the network to a backup PC (Windows XP machine with a big drive). Once there it is compressed (using 7-Zip) to save space.
With this method we can keep about 2 weeks worth of backups, but we would like more. We do a normal backup on a Friday (starting at 6pm) and incremental backups each week night (Mon - Thur) at 6pm.
Typical user data for a normal backup is just over 100 GB. A normal backup with this much data takes 3 days - not good! Obviously compressing the data on the server before copying it across the network would improve things, but we would like to consider other methods too.
Non user data is copied to a second backup machine in a similar way.
Any thoughts please on the best way forward for this. We will be happy to go with a commercial product. Ease of user data restores is also an issue. At the moment we have to reset permission on user folders when data is restored to them - no big deal, but a nusiance non the less.
Thanks for reading and replying.

Starting over. Not so much with health and fitness, which is a given, but with the rest of my life.
I keep trying to draft this, and I keep finding myself getting angry. Basically, my roommate Samir will be leaving my house, after about a year and a half since his accident.
Basically, he used me. It sounds harsh, but I gave way too much to him to be healthy, between my time, my money, my care, my peace of mind. And he was never satisfied, always demanding more. I put myself and my needs aside for too long, and got hurt. Damaged my relationships, my work, my health, my sanity honestly, when he was my number one priority.
And eventually, after almost two years, I said no, no more. While I'm still willing to help, I need to take care of myself too. He became abusive, cursing at me daily, attacking every weakness I ever gave him as a friend, manipulating me into helping him even though I knew that his requests were unreasonable. And I'd say 75% of the time he'd brought specific problems onto himself, through disrespecting his caregivers, or not using their time wisely, or engaging in activities that were directly harmful to him including, uncountable times, firing trained caregivers without having any sort of backup. The abuse is not a new pattern. He did the same to his live-in caregiver. And he taught himself that it was okay to treat people like that. Trained his neural pathways that attacking was the way to get things done, told me as much directly when we argued over it, and that it was most effective against people who cared for you.
I recognize that he's going through what will be the hardest challenge of his life, adapting to this new life. And I recognize that becoming paralyzed will completely mess with your mind, and that he's damaged FAR beyond the physical. But I also recognize that at this time he is not willing to change and despite my begging him to see a counselor, he will not. He keeps making self-destructive choices, including his choice to destroy me emotionally and psychologically, the only one who's been there from the start. He shows no repentance, no remorse, and no responsibility for himself. And he will continue to not do so until he has to. And he knows that he won't have to for as long as I'm there, because he's hugely successful in manipulating me to help him.
But what he didn't realize, despite my telling him over and over again, is that no one has the right to talk to people the way he did, and to demand love despite the abuse. He did the same thing to his last girlfriend who agreed to be his caregiver, and was eventually driven away by his degradation of her. I can't even type the things that he would say to us daily, because this blog would get removed.
But I told him, I would not go through this again. I would be available for his errands, his care, if he needed cash, or help to the doctor or filling out forms or writing grants for his medical needs, or training new caregivers if an old one quit unexpectedly or even care taking him myself if someone quit and he had no other options, for a dozen other things that I gave as a matter of course. I was willing to contribute quite a bit.
But I would not see him make a bad choice, one that could have been avoided, hurt someone else, hurt himself in the meantime, hurt me when he demand I fix it, and then get abused when I refuse to enable him to do it. I gave him warning that he would have to learn to control himself. He didn't have to agree with my opinion on his life choices, but he was responsible for his own choices, and I would not be available to fix it for him if it was a self-destructive one. And three times in three weeks he made a choice that was harmful to himself and those around him. And three times I refused to step in and fix it again, since this is a pattern that he's been repeating for almost two years. And three times he cursed me roundly and continuously for following through with my boundary.
I'm done. He has to learn to make his own way. He has to learn respect, for others AND himself. He has to learn his own power and weaknesses and how to navigate them both. And he won't do it while I'm there, and, after months of abuse, I won't stick around.
So, my life is starting new. I have unfortunately felt the need to cut myself completely off. He's so angry at me for "betraying" him I can't walk into the room without his disgust and foulness rolling out at me. So I moved out until his dad can move him out of my house. I'm not sure I'll ever see him again. I had long grieved that possibility, as I've been asking his dad to take a hand and get him out of my home for months,. But the constant negativity over the last few months, his refusal to take responsibility for his words and actions, and the outright lies he's been telling all and sundry about what a horrible person I am and how I was never there for him, have helped me to just be done. I'm still thinking too much about it. I'm still too angry. But this is for the best. Maybe someday we can be friends again, I don't know. But for now, it's best if I just be done, for both of us.
I'm hoping to enter a new part of my life. One where I'm not perpetually exhausted. One where I'm not perpetually depressed or angry or despairing. One where I can see to my needs, be rejuvenated, and have the time, energy and emotionally strength to be a support for all the OTHER relationships in my life.
The worst part of it is my heart is so wrung out that I don't even care anymore. I'm just tired. I hope the best for him, but, it's out of my hands now, and I can't feel responsible anymore. Honestly, as just a friend, I was never responsible. I took too much on, more than was healthy in any respect. Now, I'm just...tired. Once I'm less tired I'll continue to pray for both him and myself and our healing. And honest to God I pray and pray hard for his healing. But for now, I'm going to go watch tv and just vedge, cuddle with my love until I feel better.
I exercised this morning, and it left me feeling pretty good with the endorphin rush. I had a hard, hard, hard time doing it though. I set my alarm for 6:30, but I don't think I got up until almost 7:15. But, eventually I did. Got up, did my morning stuff, ate breakfast (Greek yogurt and huckleberries.) I have been house sitting for my aunt, so had planned to go home and exercise when I took care of my cat.
But, I locked my keys in the car. In the time it took for mom to come save me with her spare key, I got on the treadmill at my aunt's. And here's where I'm dismayed. I definitely chose to not push myself, completely talked myself out of it. This treadmill, like many, has a function where it can give you a set plan for your run, increasing speed or incline at various intervals. I got to running at 5.5 mph. I could see on the screen in front of me that it planned to make me run a minute at 6.0 and a minute at 6.5, before dropping back down at 0.5 mph increments. And, I all of a sudden decided I couldn't. Without any real thought, I told myself that 5.5 was my max, that there's no way I could run 6.5 mph for a full minute, and 6.0 was pushing it. This was partially motivated by the fact that I was short on time, but the feeling of "can't do it" was definitely there and even if I'd had the time I don't think I'd have done it. But, I may well have been able to do it. I was feeling decently enough at 5.5 mph, had held that for two minutes.
I dunno. I'll have to allow more time for it next time and see if I can't overcome this feeling. I also did some strength training on my arms, but am unimpressed. I can never seem to push myself hard enough in ST, which is partially why I don't like it. My triceps, which are sissy, felt it, but nothing else, at 10 lbs. I did high reps, but I really don't think I like high reps. I don't think I see the point. I don't believe anymore that I'll bulk up unattractively. And I want to be strong. I want to be able to lift heavy things. So why not do heavier weights for fewer reps and build some good looking muscle?
Anyway. I still feel good because of the endorphins, and it's been easy to focus and commit to work. But I really need to push harder.
One of my challenges this week from BLC was to relax. I was thinking, easier said than done. But then I started remembering, I actually did pretty good on that front.
First off I went berry picking with my mama, snipping huckleberry twigs off on a sunny day. Then my honey came so we packed up and I spent the rest of Sunday with him. We watched a movie, and I picked huckleberries off the twig. We made homemade macaroni and cheese (yes, I know, bad food and probably part of why I gained almost two pounds), but it was fun and tasty. Watched the last Pirates of the Caribbean. He had to go home Tuesday, which is sad, but I've actually been pretty chill ever since.
I'm housesitting for my auntie this week, which means I'm away from the stress of home at night and all the chores I need to do there. No screaming cat, as mine has a tendency to yowl at three in the morning. I love my auntie's bed which they made up for me. Sat last night picking more huckleberries and watching How I Met Your Mother for hours.
And, wonder of wonders, I'm more able to cope this week. There's been a lot loaded on my shoulders this week, but I've handled with pretty decent equanmity. Still didn't have enough time, and I definitely let that be an excuse to eat poorly (yes, I know, bad excuse), but my mental state is pretty good right now. More than one day I've thought to myself, "I've totally got this handled, no big." And during stressful situations at home, I was able to handle that as well.
It's been good. I feel healthy after this week.
Little bit late for the Red Team Challenge...but I'm gonna count it anyway. Tasked with blogging about strength training and how I have noticed it benefitting me.
Honestly, I have NEVER strength trained consistantly enough to see benefit. I've never really exercised consistantly enough in anyw ay that it benefitted me, except during sports in school. Mostly if I lose weight it's by diet.
But, everybody knows, muscle burns fat. And it gives you a better shape. So even if you maintain your weight, you're getting the physique you want. And heaven knows I want a better physique.
The Interteam BL challenge was to do three different strength training exercises, but this week all I did was squats. Trying to fit them randomly into the day. While i'm brushing my teeth, while I'm standing there talking to Aaron. More one legged squats there, since a squat squat is just so ungainly. Whenever.
I need to stop wasting time with social networking. Facebook is killing me. Need to figure out how to make my cat stop screaming at night so I can get a good night's sleep and get up in the morning. Went to bed by eleven but she had to have woken me up at least three times and resulted in me getting up exhausted at 530 to see to chores, then going back to bed.
I LOVE my P90X. I love it. It completely wipes me out. When I do the ab exercises, as I've said, I end up whimpering and laughing on the floor because I don't have the muscles strength left to get myself off the floor, which strikes me as hilarious. But, it takes an hour to an hour and a half. So, need to do something less time consuming. But I do love it.
Maybe I should have done this first, and then responded with my five goals, which I feel would be more proactive. Anyway. The BL INTERTEAM Challenge is to blog about 5 things that might be holding me back, and one thing to work on this fall.
1.) Lack of nutrients, including water.
I'm anemic in two ways, low on Vitamin D, low on one B vitamin or another, and NEVER drink enough water. I don't think water is really generally considered a nutrient, but your body uses it, wholesale, for so many different applications, so...nutrient. I stopped taking my iron because it made me sick to my stomach. I'm not suffering too much from it yet, so I assume I made myself some more blood in the few months that I was actually taking the stuff I should've been. And maybe summer increased my vitamin D levels. But, regardless, I definitely suffer from fatigue from the lack of vitamins, and suffer in all ways that dehydration hits you, from chapped lips to headaches, to even being too dizzy to stand every once in a while. And everybody knows you need to be hydrated to lose weight.
Solution: Multivitamins, 10 glasses of water a day.
2.) Lack of discipline in how I use my time.
For so long I was so worn down from caregiving my roommate and working a full time job and trying to toss in time for my other relationships, like family and boyfriend and friends. Since he got a live-in caregiver, I've had SOME more time (if not loads) and I spend a lot of it vegetating, feeling like I'm owed it, need it to rest up. I'm getting better about it, because the lack of order in my life is stressing me out so I go and organize everyday when I get home. But I need to keep moving perpetually. I've said this before, and like I've said, I've gotten better, but I need to keep pushing. I particularly fail in getting up in the morning. I hate waking up.
Solution: CLOCKY! I'm super excited about him. A little red clock that, after you snooze, jumps off the bedstand and rolls off beeping discordantly. You have to get up to chase him down and turn him off. Hehe, worth a shot. I think I've got discipline in activity pretty pat. Keep it up and I'll get ahead of myself, and then it'll just be maintaining. Which is theoretically easier...
3.) Emotional instability
I let my roommate get to me too much. He's very angry due to his paralysis. It's been a little over a year and a half now. And yes, I get why he's angry. Totally understandable and legit. But he's not seeking professional help, which he desperately needs, and so just stews and vents, and gets vicious. And when he's too sharp, angry, downright cruel to his caregivers, disatisfied with their work because he wants so desperately to be doing this for himself, I can't take it. It's not fair to them. The whole situation is not fair to him. And I get pulled in two directions, wanting to have sympathy for him because he's hurting emotionally and physically, while similarly wanting to protect his caregivers from his harsh words. I usually end up completely emotionally wasted, and not wanting to do anything.
Solution: I have, I swear, realized that I can't fix him. He's responsible for himself. The options are out there for him to help himself, and he is not taking them. And I have neither the skill nor the objectivity to heal him. It's a matter of convincing him and me that I don't have to suffer his perpetual negativity, sticking to it, and not letting him impact me. He will be moving out at some point. He's got apps in for HUD for an ADA compliant house. Life will be more difficult for him on his own, but, I can't sacrifice my life and happiness for him if he's not willing to do his part to help heal himself. I just can't. It's not right for him or for me. Beyond that it impacts my family and my love who have to deal with the emotional breakdowns that come as a part of this. Not fair for anybody.
4.) Need more sleep
Obvious. Not getting enough. Too tired to do anything. Made too stupid to come up with solutions. Need sleep.
Solution: See above, solutions two and three. More discipline, and less emotional impact, which often keeps me from sleeping or decreases the efficiency with which I help him so I end up staying later.
5.) My disbelief in the efficacy of exercise
I'm not sure what to do about this one. I just don't believe in it. To me, losing weight is primarily about diet. And I think that's true. But, obviously if I burn more calories I'll be able to lose more quickly, plus build up all that nice calorie burning muscle. But, on a fundamental level, I just don't see it working for me, because I've always been so layered in fat that I can't even imagine having muscle tone.
Solution: Just do it. Can't think of anything better.
The second part of the challenge is, what to work on this Fall. And, to answer that, I can go back to my previous blog, what are my goals. Really though, discipline covers it all. And thinking all the time about the choices I make. Whether it's to drink water or a soda, go to bed on time regardless of the other time pressures, be kind, be firm, be efficient or lazy. I have to be aware of all the choices I'm making, or refusing to make, and think about if I'm going to be happy with the result. So, as is SOMETHING of a family motto by this point, gotta be thinking all the time.

works better than the original, great deal, just switched the boards in the drives
Great Value11/10/2010
Son recieved a free xbox with a broken DVD drive. The Toshiba replacement drive was easy to install and works great. My son is very happy with it. Buy.com delivered quickly and as promised, I am very pleased with their service.
Love it5/24/2010
Fast shipping, ordered on Friday received it on Monday. Everything works great, had only taken me 15 minutes to install and replace new board with old board like R. Mathews said.
Totally worth It! *** Warning*** Additional step r3/19/2010
This product is definitely worth the money. I bought this rather than buying a new Xbox 360 for my disk read error problem. The only thing I had to do is switch the green motherboard on the bottom side of the DVD-ROM with the broken ROM's motherboard. I did this to avoid having to flash the new drive. It worked seamlessly. This only took me about 15 minutes of work; taking apart the Xbox was pretty easy with the help of YouTube and other tech forums. Switching the boards was nerve racking but I got er' done!
Works like a charm1/5/2010
This drive works perfectly in my XBOX 360. No more dirty disc errors and rips all my games to my hard drive flawlessly. Shipping was fast and transaction was smooth.

Barrichello finished 12th in the IZOD IndyCar Series standings, including a 10th place finish in the Indianapolis 500. His best finish of the year, fourth, came at Sonoma Raceway in August.

Historical Traveller Reviews of Best Western Grant Park Hotel
Helpful staff...from X206
We showed up early and were allowed to check in about a half hour early. The parking area was being worked on so we had to park at a less expensive parking area a block away. When we opened the door to the room - it was neat, clean and odor free. (a non smoking room as requested) It was about 91 degrees outside, and our room was very comfortable. The location of the Hotel was excellent, very convienient to the El, bus stops, walking to Shedd, Grant park, Buckingham fountain etc.
I stopped at the desk and asked for more pillows, and if someone could look at the TV (the picture was snowy) and before I got back to the room someone showed up with the pillows, and within 5 minutes our TV was fixed. Whenever we asked the staff for directions they were very helpful. We did witness the elevator getting stuck at one point - but the staff had it fixed within 10 minutes. I did also witness a couple of people come to the Manager with complaints....I was impressed with how fast the manager moved to please the guests and try to get any issue resolved. I would stay at this hotel again. My only real complaint was the noisey guests accross the hall with quite a bit of in and out of the room door slamming and talking right outside the door - they did stop after I asked them to.
Think twicefrom A TripAdvisor Member
The walls are thin and you will hear everything in the other rooms. At least we couldn't bother guests with our radio because it didn't work.
It is a budget hostel masquerading as as a two-star hotel. The $7 breakfast inlcudes only coffee, juice and toast or bagels. No eggs and sausage as advertised.
If you stay here, check your bill. We had $295 in charges listed for services we didn't use. Although, they finally removed the charges, the staff was surly and uncooperative.
If you can find another hotel, do so.
no problems, had good time!from A TripAdvisor Member
The rooms are clean, and they have everything you need. The air condtioning was working just fine, in fact I felt cold at times, even on the hottest day, it was 104 degrees outdise, but I was cool in my room. The evalvators are fine and in working order. The staff were friendly, and they were VERY busy with it being full, however they brought me extra pillows and blankets upon request, and never made me feel like I was bothering them. Housekeeping had my room clean quickly, and always left extra towels upon my request. I was VERY nervous about staying here after reading so many bad reviews. All I can say is expect the worst and hope for the best, and you will see that there was NOTHING to worry about. It is a nice clean, safe hotel, and I would stay there again.
Great Stay!from A TripAdvisor Member
The hotel itself is very good. Upon reading the reviews, I called them and asked if the elevators were working, and the staff assured me they were.
- Check-in: Check-in was flawless, with no problems at all.
- Parking: We were in a mini-van, so the hotel clerk advised us to use the parking at the building right next door on Michigan Ave, for $15 a night.
- Rooms: We requested 2 rooms with 2 beds each. They were nice and clean. I had a good sleep.
- Staff: I had no problems what so ever with the staff. They were very polite and met all my requirements, whether it was asking for the nearest place to eat or for extra towels.
- Breakfast: Breakfast costs $7. It's pretty much standard, with cereals, fruit, coffee, juice, milk, tea, bagels, bread, muffins, pancakes, waffles and the like.
My family overall was very pleased with this hotel, and we intend to stay there again on our next visit to Chicago.
Now be warned, this is a no frills hotel, but if your looking for a clean, comfortable place to sleep after an exhausting day, Best Western Grant Park is a great find.
Not worth the moneyfrom MemphisLove2travel
t stay here, you have been warned!from klo1971
Good, but nothing specialfrom Neil123
On arrival, I was far from impressed with the hotel. After a very long day in which I had been up 20 hours and travelled 4,000 miles I arrived to be greeted by staff who gave the impression they didn't really want to be there, which doesn't create a good image. Furthermore, neither lift was working and we were on the 8th floor, not something you want after such a long day. I wouldn't have minded so much, but the staff didn't seem to care. Thankfully, the attitude of all the staff I met after that was very different indeed. After checking in, all of the staff I spoke to at various times were more than helpful, and one of the lifts was working again later that evening!
The room itself was okay, it was what you would expect for the price. A reasonable sized room with a double bed, en-suite, Large TV etc etc. The most important thing was that is was clean and tidy, and was cleaned daily.
Overall, I thought it was a fairly good hotel, which was pretty good value for money and in a good location. However, unless I was attending an event at Soldier field I probably would not stay there again, and would opt for something a bit more central.

- Peel the white backer off your cut-out tape. Center the tape on your card, and smooth out any air bubbles. Peel back the red liner, and begin embellishing with your thread. Outline the edge of your gold paper and image, adding small loops every quarter inch. Trim the ends when finished. Press the threads into your tape using the removed liner.
- Place your card in a shallow tray or ziploc® bag. Pour diamond beadlets over the exposed tape. Swirl with your fingers to cover fully, and tap to remove excess beadlets.

Analyst's Toolkit: Mosaic Beats Potash
Analyst's Toolkit is a weekly feature that assesses stocks, bonds and funds by using measures that can give different perspectives on valuation. Come back every Wednesday for fresh insights into analyzing securities.
SASKATOON, Saskatchewan ( TheStreet) -- After reaching their apex in June 2008, shares of Potash Corp. (POT) and Mosaic Co. (MOS) have fallen by more than half.
The companies offered exposure to a market that would certainly factor into the ongoing global expansion. Fertilizer producers' growth was projected to go into orbit as the world figured out a way to produce enough food to feed emerging super powers such as China and India.
While growth petered out during the economic contraction of the past year, these companies still appear to be well-positioned to profit from globalization. Potash and Mosaic are beating the S&P 500 this year. Potash has climbed 32%, while Mosaic is up 54%, versus the S&P 500's increase of only 13%.Deciding between those investments can pose a more difficult decision for investors than simply whether the industry looks attractive in the current economic climate. Both Mosaic and Potash have appealing metrics underpinning them. However, when looking at the complete picture, one is a clear favorite. Beta Potash: 1.18; Mosaic: 1.37. Both Potash and Mosaic offer betas of greater than 1, suggesting the stocks will be more volatile than the market as a whole. While this could be troubling for investors seeking a low-risk portfolio to protect capital, investors who desire greater growth opportunities should be interested by these numbers. During these times of great economic uncertainty, many investments have beta values well in excess of 2. These relatively modest figures promise that both investments should offer controlled movement.

Mitt Romney speaks at a victory rally in New Hampshire on Sept. 7: Among the keys to the presidential race will be each campaign's effort to define Romney. Photo: Kayana Szymczak/Getty Images
The election in November may well turn on decisions made long ago. After Labor Day, there is little campaigns can do to alter the fundamental physics of a race. The best campaigns simply play defense well. In a close race, whichever candidate is most adroit at handling the unexpected will probably find himself with an advantage.
Nonetheless, pay attention to how Barack Obama and Mitt Romney handle these three broad subjects: economic anxiety, foreign policy, and Romney's definition.
The adjectives used to describe the economy post-convention are "anemic" and "persistent" — as in, persistent, anemic job growth. Obama needs to change these adjectives even though he can't change the underlying facts. Simply put, the facts favor Mitt Romney's core argument: that Obama's had four years to fix the economy, and he hasn't. How can Obama change the adjectives? Well, he can refine his argument. And he can hope that somehow, that new argument begins to gel. Given how well Bill Clinton did at the convention, I'm kind of surprised the Obama campaign isn't running ads right now featuring Clinton "arithmetic" sound bite.
The problem, of course, is that economic anxiety is not a product of a couple of years of policy decisions. It's not even the result of the Great Recession of 2008. It's the combined result of 30 years of globalization, a widening wealth gap exacerbated by the collapse of the housing market, significantly rising health care costs, the enormous shift in the tax burden to the middle class — and so much more. It's sticky. It doesn't respond to economic conditions. Consumer confidence and the stock market may be more temporary measures of sentiment, but nothing (not even a sustained recovery), will alter the drivers of the American middle class' persistent economic pessimism.
Right now, Obama has an advantage on foreign policy. This is a profound shift in our politics, and the result of very deliberate choices and narrative revising on behalf of the president. True, few voters seem to care, and it's true that many liberal Democrats wonder if the party has sold its soul to the devil by adopting the post Cold War counter-terrorism consensus that really began to develop in the second term of the Bush administration. But ever since the days of Amnesty, Acid, and Abortion, and the deliberate attempts by Republicans to eviscerate the Democratic Party's foreign policy core, a sense that Democrats can't handle adult decisions has hung over the party. Not anymore.
Between now and the election, we know of one big potential test: if Israel decides to take action against Iran without the help of allies. The U.S. government doesn't know what Israel is going to do, although they are mollified somewhat that the Israeli security cabinet seems to be split. If Israel does decide to go it alone, Obama's response — whether the U.S. reluctantly joins the assault, how it responds rhetorically, how it contains Iranian blowback — could very quickly alter perceptions of his foreign policy judgment. One of Mitt Romney's earliest arguments was that Obama was in over his head. Nothing like a foreign policy meltdown to give that substance.
Substance? The election may hinge on whether Americans look at Mitt Romney and see someone who isn't a caricature. The GOP convention was not the disaster that pundits made it out to be, but neither was it an unalloyed success. Romney had a free swing at the bat, and by dodging specifics, asked Americans to define him based on the type of man that he was, rather than the type of president he will be. Both are important, of course, but the latter is arguably easier for Romney to carry, because his campaign fumbled the biographical angle from the start. Romney's attack today is that Barack Obama has no plan to turn the economy around and was given a four year chance to do it. But while Americans disapprove of Obama's handling of the economy and tell pollsters they like Romney's ideas better, they don't know what those ideas are, because Romney hasn't really told them. And the Democrats did a pretty decent job defining them in the breach last week. The major danger for Romney: He enters the debate season with voters growing more suspicious of his (undefined) policy proposals while simultaneously not having a good idea of who the guy is in his maw.

Nursing role in informed consent
- 0Feb 22, '07 by samalettaI am trying to gather information that has to do with informed consent in Pennsylvania for a paper I am writing. I found an act that mentions it...act 13 of 2003 section 504, but it says nothing about the role of the nurse, it only talks about the physican. I thought the role of the nurse was to WITNESS that the patient recieved informed consent....right? I can't seem to find any laws in Pennsylvania. Are there actual LAWS / LEGISLATION that mention what the RN's role is? or does it depend on the facility the RN works at? if you can, will you please include a website with your answer so I may use it as a reference? THANKS!!!!
- 0Mar 6, '07 by NRSKarenRN, BSN, RN Admini am unaware of any specific language in pa laws...the pa laws are usually written broadly in my experience.
here are some articles:

- 0Dec 24, '10 by lite4housRegistered nurses are not permitted to give informed consent in any state of the USA....this is to be given by a nurse practitioner, a physician assistant, or Physician. Please check with your state board......as well as policy's at your facility......You are putting your license at risk if you perform this. Informed consent is stating you are telling the patient about the benefits and risks of the procedure.......Also imagine being in court because the patient had an adverse outcome of a procedure you gave informed consent for....How are you going to answer the prosecutor when he asks you "with all your years of experience and level of education why did you perform informed consent when it is not in your scope of practice to do so?" You are only to witness signature.....
- 0Aug 28, '11 by aznurse2010To be clear, a healthcare member cannot "give informed consent" anyway. I think some might be confused. This is actually a statement given by the client that they understand the information about the treatment or procedure including but not limited to risks and alternatives, by an advanced practice professional. Nurses can only witness the client's signature after the client indicates that they understand what the provider explained to the client. If the client still has questions about the procedure, it is the nurse's responsibility to seek the provider to answer those questions. This of course is in the NCLEX hospital.
