Unions prevelance across US?
- 0Mar 12, '10 by onetiredmommaI often read people encouraging someone to "contact your union rep" and wonder how many states have nursing unions? I know in the 80s there was talk when I worked in Colorado of getting a union but I don't know that it ever happened. Any one know how wide spread nursing unions are?
- 0Mar 12, '10 by caliotter3Unions are a function of the workplace, not the state. Union presence is indicated in all job postings where unions are in place at an employer.
- 1Mar 13, '10 by Chico David RNA little bit complicated. A common term in union discussions is "union density" - the percentage of workplaces in a particular industry and region that are unionized. This varies from quite high in a few states - California, New York, Massachusetts - to virtually zero in much of the South and and large parts of the interior West. Except for those two areas, most states have at least some unionized hospitals, with decent union density through the Northeast, Northern Mid-West and West Coast.
Some of that is by true nurses' unions (state nurses' associations or similar) - mostly in California, New York, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Maine, Illinois (no doubt a few others I'm forgetting).
In other states, where the state nurses' associations never got involved in collective bargaining, most of the unionization is done by non-nurse unions who have some RN bargaining units. Where the state nurses' associations left that void, a lot of other unions have stepped in to fill it. They include teacher's unions, public employee unions, the laborers, teamsters, steelworkers, office workers, and service employee unions.
How good a job those other unions do in representing nurses is widely variable. I'm a fan of nurses' unions for nurses.
- 4There are no nurse unions where I live in Illinois. Some hospitals in the Chicago area have nurse unions.
This is unfortunate because nurses are not treated as professionals. They are treated as laborers unless they are APNs or educators. But APNs and educators are in control of the professional organizations and the state board of nursing. That is unfortunate for rank and file RNs and the patients for which staff RNs would advocate if they had the security of a contract and a union to represent them.
The U.S. Supreme Court decided many years ago that Medicare money could be used by hospitals to keep nurses from organizing. What other group of employees has to fight against their own government's funding to organize?
It is in everyone's best interest, except nurses, to control our workers. And make no mistake about it, nurses are workers.
- 1By the way, never give up your right to a job. If you are involved in organizing a nursing home or hospital, and the non nurse organizer calls you and says everybody else will get a contract if you give up your right to the job, don't do it.
I gave up my right to the position I held when I got 98% of the employees in a nursing home to sign a union card. Patients who could not eat without assistance were starving because of lack of staff. The administrater refused to buy air mattresses to prevent pressure ulcers. I was the minimum data set coordinator.
INA wouldn't help. A non nursing organizer "helped", but was eventually not successful in getting the facility a contract. The facility owners just fired everybody and got away with it.
The only union I know of that is actually run by nurses is the United American Nurses.
- 2Mar 13, '10 by PostOpPrincessFlorida is a right-to-work state. Our public hospital system(South Florida) is going bankrupt is now threatening to close down two of their 3 hospitals.
The union is freaking out. That's 4300 people who will stop paying their dues.
One of our physicians, sardonic humor that he has, stated, "Finally, this is the first time I've ever seen these people work without contacting their Union Rep about being "abused." They are finally working, at the end of everything...how ironic...."
I am not a fan of unions. My hospital is NOT a union based one and we are thriving.
- 0JoPACURN said, " My hospital is NOT a union based one and we are thriving".
But are the nurses thriving and are the patients safe?
- 1Mar 13, '10 by neurorn6As previous writers have stated, most unions are on the east or west coast, with a scattering in other states. Most, if not all of the south are Right to Work States, meaning, they can fire you with out reason. Southern hospitals are low paying, little education and alot of fear by new and old nurses.
I have worked at both union and non union hospitals, and miss the support that a strong union can give their members. I has always amazed me that a profession, such as this, does not organize all of it's members, for the betterment of the profession.
ANA, which is supposed to me for nurses is a sad joke. No support for rank and file. You have people speaking for nurses who haven't worked a floor in years, if they ever did.
- 0Mar 14, '10 by onetiredmomma"......I has always amazed me that a profession, such as this, does not organize all of it's members, for the betterment of the profession."
Having bee in nursing 40 years, I am not at all surprised! When I got my LPN in 1970 we were told the fight was on to make BSN required for entry level into nursing...and again in 1982 when I got my BSN..........and again, and again...If we can't make a decision on what entry level edcation should be we will never become organized and fightfor our profession! Thanks for all the replies to my original question.
- 1Mar 14, '10 by Chico David RNQuote from onetiredmommaThe failure to organize - and the focus on issues like what the entry level should be - stem from the history and makeup of the nursing associations. The average bedside nurse has/had neither the time, energy, nor financial resources to become involved in the workings of a professional association. So the nurses who did get involved, who ran (and still run) the ANA and many of the state associations are the nurses who are no longer at the bedside: managers and academic nurses. Most of those have a different set of needs, imperatives and incentives than the nurse at the bedside caring for patients. So many of the state associations didn't get involved in collective action to raise the wellbeing of nurses, they just issued position papers about it and taught us that acting together to stand up for ourselves was "unprofessional"."......I has always amazed me that a profession, such as this, does not organize all of it's members, for the betterment of the profession."
Having bee in nursing 40 years, I am not at all surprised! When I got my LPN in 1970 we were told the fight was on to make BSN required for entry level into nursing...and again in 1982 when I got my BSN..........and again, and again...If we can't make a decision on what entry level edcation should be we will never become organized and fightfor our profession! Thanks for all the replies to my original question.
Back in the 90s the big fight was over de-skilling of nursing and our replacement with unlicensed personel. The hospital industry wanted to do it to save big bucks and the ANA was right on board with them - they told us it would be just fine to have a unit with a single nurse supervising a bunch of "care partners" or "patient care technicians" who did the actual care. Then, beginning with CNA in '93, the bedside nurses began to rise up and take control of the organizations themselves, a process that is still going on and that led to a wave of growth in nurse unionization. Right now about 20% of hospital nurses nationally are organized. Check back in 10 years and we'll see where it's gone.

Dresses for Fall
If you are a bridesmaid during the fall season, you are in store for
some great selections for
bridesmaid dresses. The hit of the town is brown with vibrant
fall flower bouquets! Around Halloween, it is fun to bring in darker
brown dresses with orange flowers to have an avant garde wedding.
Other popular bridesmaid dresses are two tone dresses while still
dressing the bride in classic white. Bring in the fall colors of
Thanksgiving including earth tones with accessories such as
bracelets, necklaces and earrings, as long as they don't distract
from the bride to be. Other classic
bridesmaid dress colors of the season are teal, red and the dark
blues. Have some fun with the girls when you look for your
bridesmaid dresses through magazines, stores and online! Make a
pre-edding party out of shopping which is fun and a great
ice-breaker for the
to meet one another.
Make sure the bridesmaid dress material takes into consideration the
Fall weather as it starts to cool down and possibly get a little
windy in your area. Ask yourself the following bridesmaid dresses
Is the wedding indoors or outside?
Does the material easily stain or rip?
How long does it take to order the bridesmaid dresses?
Is the wedding indoors or outside?
Does the material easily stain or rip?
How long does it take to order the bridesmaid dresses?
Leave enough time for those who are out of town and for alterations.
Make sure to remind the girls to not wait until the last few days
prior to picking up their
bridesmaid dresses in case there needs to be more alterations.
dresses question of the month
Fall Bridesmaid Dress
It is going to be a beautiful Fall and I would like to suggest to my
great friend, the bride, that the
bridesmaid dresses should be light, sleeveless and made out of
cotton or a fiber that breathes. The wedding is outside and me and
the bridesmaids don't want to sweat too much and ruin our
bridesmaid dresses as well as be uncomfortable.
Bridesmaid dresses answer of the month
We would suggest being open and honest with the bride to be since
she is a friend of yours.
Bridesmaid dress styles of Fall can be open, vibrant and
comfortable. Ask early for the bride's permission to help choose the
right bridesmaid dress that most will be happy with.
Check out our
bridesmaid dress timeline to assist you in planning the choosing
and ordering of your bridesmaid dresses. Remember that Fall is a
busy time for weddings so plan early on bridesmaid dress fittings!

Autumn Tip
is almost here and so are the vibrant and pastel colors coming back
into the bridesmaid dress season. Choose a bridesmaid dress that the
wedding party can wear again so you are not one of those
ugly bridesmaid dresses statistics where your
wear them out only again on Halloween.
Make sure to give yourself enough time to choose the right
bridesmaid dresses as well as get input from your friends who are in
the wedding as you may have different body sizes to contend with.
Always think of how the dress will compliment the wedding dress of
the bride so the ensemble works together for the moment (and the
pictures). Choose the flowers early as well since Fall is a very
busy time for everyone! Also make sure to have a wonderful time and
not to stress as it is one of the most memorable moments in time for
you and your friends. Check out vibrant bridesmaid dress colors as
well as those that are semi-sheer, sleeveless, as well as pastel
blues, reds, pinks and teals. Fall is a great time to get a
bridesmaid dress!

question about amnio
Find a Conversation
|Sat, 08-16-2008 - 6:35pm
from what i understand the amnio is usually done around 16 wks,what exactly is the reason for this? i mean i know the reason but if you got results back that all was not well,.. wouldnt it be a bit late to terminate?
please dont be offended anyone but if i got that news i would definently terminate...i couldnt handle it.
god bless those who do.
aside from amnio what other test can be done? my first appt with specialist is next week and id like to know what to ask for?
|Tue, 08-26-2008 - 4:17am
I'm not sure why the amnio is done so late, but every test has its "window" of time where it functions properly. For example, the nuchal fold screening (which helps to calculate your baby's risk of certain genetic abnormalities) is done between about 11 and 13 weeks, and if it is done later it apparently does not show what you need. I am having this done in two days, along with some blood tests that also predict

Amtrak said rail service between Washington and Philadelphia has been temporarily suspended because of problems with overhead wires north of Baltimore, the railroad said in an e-mailed statement.
Earlier, Amtrak said it suspended service between Wilmington, Delaware, and Baltimore because of the problematic wires. The railroad said it didn't have any estimate on when service will be restored and expected "significant delays" on trains between Washington and New York.

Pinterest announced some recent enhancements on Friday night! You can now create up to 3 SECRET boards that only you and people you invite can see.
According to Pinterest, "Secret boards give you a place for things you're not quite ready to share yet, like a surprise party, special gift ideas, or even planning for a new baby. We're testing out the feature by giving everyone 3 secret boards. You'll find them at the bottom of your profile. We can't wait to hear what you think!"
Here's how secret boards work on Pinterest:
- You can create up to 3 secret boards. If you already have 3 secret boards but want to make a new one, you'll need to delete one or make one of your current secret boards visible to everyone. If you're invited to contribute to someone else's secret board, it won't count against your 3-board limit.
- When you add a pin to a secret board, it won't show up anywhere else on Pinterest—not in the category sections, Popular, Everything, anyone's search results, your followers' home feed, your own home feed, or even pins or activity pages on your profile.
- Your secret boards and pins are at the bottom of your profile. Just scroll down to see them.
With the Social Media world becoming more public I may just use one of my secret boards for my families Christmas list or to collaborate with fellow bloggers online!
Read the details on Pinterest.
Question: What will you do with your secret board?

Traditional Jewish Food
JNS.org covers traditional Jewish food around the world and in Israel, as well as news from the Kosher food industry. Mollie Katzen, who is listed by the New York Times as one of the best-selling cookbook authors of all time and has been named by Health Magazine as one of "The Five Women Who Changed the Way We Eat," is a regular contributor. To select another topic, choose from the other content "categories" in our navigation bar.
At the turn of the century, a young Jewish immigrant arrived in New York. So begins the history of many American Jewish families. It is Albert Allaham's story, too, with a few unusual twists. He arrived in the U.S. almost 100 years after the massive waves of European Jewish immigration. Rather than coming from some small town along the Danube, Albert's shtetl was Damascus. His first American business was not a pushcart on the Lower East Side, but rather a family-run butcher shop in Brooklyn. "Allaham" means "butcher" in Arabic, making it an appropriate name for a family with more than 200 years of experience in the meat business. Now, Albert is making his mark in the world of fine kosher dining at Reserve Cut, the elegant restaurant he opened in lower Manhattan in 2013.
Omelet sandwich: 5 shekels. Turkish coffee: 5 shekels. Tuna sandwich: 5 shekels. Fresh-squeezed orange juice: 5 shekels. Cheese burekas: 5 shekels. There's plenty more on the Cofizz menu, but you get the idea. Dani Mizrahi and Amir Amshalm, two Israeli men in their early 30s, had an idea: Why not run a take-out food joint in busy neighborhoods around Jerusalem where everything costs the same thing? Five shekels converts to about $1.50. "We are in this business not only to make money," says Mizrahi. "We also want to help people make it."
Asheville, N.C., and Little Rock, Ark. Not exactly the Jewish capitals of America, but they are both home to major Jewish food festivals. "We have no Jewish deli in Asheville at this time," said Marty Gillen, chairman of Asheville's HardLox Jewish Food and Heritage Festival. "We say that HardLox is the only day of the year that you can get real Jewish food in Asheville." In Little Rock, most of the roughly 10,000 annual attendees at the annual Jewish Food and Cultural Festival "are non-Jews, many of whom are experiencing Jewish food for the first time or for the only time that year," said Marianne Tettlebaum, director of the Jewish Federation of Arkansas.
The history of the knish represents more than just the lineage of a fried, dumpling-like food. It demonstrates the often-central role of food in communities and cultural legacies. Laura Silver knows that all too well. She has consumed knishes on three different continents, and her exhaustive research on the iconic potato treat has resulted in her new book, "Knish: In Search of the Jewish Soul Food," which was released in early May.
Jaime Geller's grandparents really knew how to cook. Somehow, they could create the most scrumptious meals using no fancy equipment, and not even measuring spoons. Now, the creative force behind JoyofKosher.com and Joy of Kosher with Jamie Geller magazine presents a few of her favorite traditional recipes—with a twist.
Cheesecake expands the joy of the Shavuot holiday. Small cheesecake bars, topped with early strawberries, are a wonderful way to usher in the transition-to-summer month of June. A Thai tea cheesecake is beautiful and surprising, rounding out your holiday with a sense of orange expansiveness—and it is actually easier than handcrafting blintzes, writes Mollie Katzen, one of the best-selling cookbook authors of all time.
The growing demand for natural, organic, vegetarian, fiber, and gluten-free alternatives among kosher consumers was apparent at Kosherfest 2013, the annual trade show of the kosher food industry. "We are constantly looking to find ways to be innovative with modern health trends," Manischewitz Assistant Brand Manager Avital Pessar told JNS.org.
All kinds of uber-creative latke recipes appear around Hanukkah-time: apple-parsnip latkes, sweet potato-leek latkes, sweet cheesy latkes, and savory cheese and chive latkes. But the truth is, you can't go anywhere in the world of latkes until you've mastered the classic potato version, says celebrity chef Jamie Geller, who likes to try the latkes, keep them warm, and then layer them with show-stopping toppings. JNS.org presents two Hanukkah recipes from Geller's upcoming cookbook: latkes with caviar and cream, and cardamom-scented Hanukkah cookies.
While planning what to cook on Passover's big seder night, it's easy to forget to plan your meals for the rest of the holiday week. Suddenly, you find yourself staring at the wide-open cupboard with nothing but matzah staring back at you. But do not worry—Passover isn't Yom Kippur, and with the right preparation, you can still eat a decent meal. Celebrity chef Mollie Katzen, one of the best-selling cookbook authors of all time, offers some exciting vegetarian, pareve and dairy-based recipes to spice up your daily meals during the eight days of Passover.
Nothing says Jewish food like a bowl of matzoh ball soup or a slab of pastrami on rye. But will Mediterranean gefilte fish or facon also be on that list one day? Fake bacon was just one of the many novelties unleashed on the Jewish culinary scene at Kosherfest, the nation's largest annual kosher-food trade show, from Nov. 13-14.
Wine has always been an integral part of Judaism, but Israel has only recently come into its own as a producer of quality wine—notably quality wine that happens to be kosher. These days, a tourist can easily create a winery-based itinerary through the Jewish state, and JNS.org correspondent Lisë Stern did just that this fall.

And then there were four!
Two more contestants were eliminated from The X Factor Thursday night, with four making it through to next week's semifinals. Did Tate Nation give Tate Stevens the votes he needed to reclaim the top spot from Carly Rose Sonenclar? Did CeCe Frey survive another week? And which acts had to go head-to-head to stay in the competition? Read on to find out.
Viewers got a double dose on The X Factor Wednesday night, with each of the remaining six acts performing two songs — the first an unplugged number, and the second a song chosen by viewers — as they attempt to move into next week's semifinals. For the audience-chosen performances (a.k.a. the "Pepsi Challenge" — yay sponsorship!), viewers weighed in not only on the song choice, but also on everything from the act's wardrobe to the stage lighting. Suffice it to say, we hope the show goes back to having the judges make these decisions next week.
So, which two contestants should be sent home on Thursday's show? Here's a breakdown of their performances:
Alicia Keys
Alicia Keys is on fire! Britney rocks a fedora! And two more acts go home on Thursday's The X Factor. How does it all play out? Let's take a look:
Fifth Harmony
The Top 8 finalists on The X Factor tackled chart-topping songs Wednesday, knowing that Thursday they'll face another double elimination on Fox's singing show. With only a fraction of a percent separating the Top 4 contestants after last week's show, the competition is getting fierce.
Also getting fierce? The banter between judges Simon Cowell and Demi Lovato, with Lovato not responding well to Cowell's criticisms of her contestants, and chiding him about everything from his age to his bachelor status. Cowell responded by telling the 20-year-old that he had sold more than 300 million records in his career. (Snap!)
The X Factor
Another week of The X Factor, another chance to hate on CeCe Frey.
The 21-year-old postal room worker has inspired more loathing than judge Simon Cowell this season, falling to the bottom of the Rankings of Shame twice ever since viewers started voting. During last week's results, when she was saved from elimination by the judges again, Cowell acknowledged that even they have given her a "hard time" on the show. If the judges can't back her, why should America?
Carly Rose Sonenclar
Thanksgiving wasn't all about the turkey and stuffing for the 10 X Factor finalists, two of whom were sent home Thursday night. Keep reading to find out who got cut — and whether Tate Stevens finished in first place for the third week in a row.
Cece Frey
The X Factor pulled out all the stops as far as sappiness goes Wednesday evening, with each of the Top 10 finalists performing a song dedicated to someone they're thankful for. Awww. (Hey, you know what they probably aren't grateful about? Having to spend Thanksgiving evening on the X Factor stage tomorrow, when two additional contestants will get the boot.)
Most of the contestants chose to honor someone in their family, and in keeping with that theme, Kim Kardashian and her beau Kanye West were in the audience to support co-host Khloe Kardashian (who, as an aside, has done nothing to curb her nauseating flirting with Simon Cowell — something we're definitely not thankful for).
Anyway, to the singing! Here's a breakdown of Wednesday's performances.

Ivan Sergei, Jeri Ryan
Where's Olivia Pope when you need her? Body of Proof's ambitious chief medical examiner and congressional candidate Kate Murphy (Jeri Ryan) hasn't even been elected yet and she's already facing her first potential scandal on this week's episode (Tuesday, 10/9c, ABC). While making an appearance at a ritzy Russian political gala, Kate strikes up a conversation with a tall, dark, secretive Ukrainian attaché named Sergei Damanov (Ivan Sergei). "Sergei and Kate have this very steamy, very passionate thing," Ryan says. "And then it gets complicated."
Dana Delany
Body of Proof creator and executive producer Matthew Gross has made it no secret that his ABC drama has undergone quite a makeover during its 10-month hiatus. But should existing fans be worried that they'll be watching a completely new series when Season 3 premieres (Tuesday at 10/9c, ABC)?

DVDFlick Burn DVD with Chapters
I have seven (7) .wmv files that I want to burn to DVD and have a link to each one of those files appear on the home page. I have burned several DVDs using DVDFlick and the links to the individual files do not appear and the files seem to appear in random order rather than in their numbered sequence.
I have no idea what I am doing wrong so it seems that I need basic instructions on how to burn a DVD with Chapters using DVDFlick. I would especially like the links to the chapters to be static That is, an icon to click on rather than constantly changing scenes if that is possible. Where can I find those instructions?
|My System Specs
|23 Dec 2011
Correct my impression if I am wrong. Do you want a menu with an icon that you click on to play the content of the .wmv file? If so the only way to get there with DVD Flick is to convert eaxh .wmv as a Title. This uses up space as DVD Flick will convert each .wmv file to a DVD Video title.
If you have a DVD Player that can play .wmv the alternative is to use Imgburn to burn a Data DVD with the 7 .wmv files as data files. Most DVD Players that can play .wmv will show a menu with the names of the videos.
The Official ImgBurn Website
I haven't used DVD Flick Menu wizard very often. But I believe it just uses text buttons on an image background. In any case I don't know of any software that does menus for .wmv. Converting .wmv to DVD Video is a last resort as the .wmv format can even have HD resolution where the DVD Video format is limited to 720x576 for PAL and 720x480 for NTSC.
Are the .wmv files SD or HD?
What make and model DVD Player do you have?

DVDFlick Burn DVD with Chapters
Thank you for replying. My modem/router was acting up and I was not able to get back online until now. Sorry about that.
I am just trying to burn a DVD with chapters for the first time, and do it the easiest way possible. The few discs that people have sent me that have changing "scenes" for chapters often seem confusing. So I want to avoid that if I can, but at this point I will happily take anything I can get. But the DVD is to be a "Scrapbook" for my wife to share with others. It would be too boring for anyone to have to view the entire disc. The goal is to be able to select and play any one segment (file/chapter) at a tme.
If I did not need chapters, I assume I would be able to use DVDFlick with no problem. Creating chapters is the problem.
The .wmv files are SD. I use .wmv only because that is what Windows Movie Maker produced. I would gladly convert them if that would make things easier.
I hope to be able to play the DVD in any DVD player, or as many different ones as possible. Our own DVD player was a VCR/DVD combo that just went bad and has yet to be replaced (this weelkend). But we want different family members to be able to play this DVD with whatever DVD player they have.
I am not familiar with ImgBurn, but I will download and try it. Thank you for recommending it and sending the link. I will let you knw how I make out.

Hi Carver, I've tried DVDFlick, it's not in the same class as DVDStyler. Here's how to use it. DVDStyler Portable.pdf
|My System Specs
|23 Dec 2011
Hi Roderunner,
Thank you for that information and the link. I am still a bit lost. I opened DVD Styler and dragged my 7 .wmv files to the bottom of the wndow to the right of "Menu 1 and 2." A screenshot is attached. What do I do next?
|My System Specs
|23 Dec 2011
Click the orange thing next to the green cross, then follow my guide.
|My System Specs
|23 Dec 2011
What is the total play time of the .wmv files? DVD 5 after 2 hours the quality starts to degrade. That's why many people get DVD players that can play divx avi and wmv files. You don't have to do any conversion. If for example the .wmv files are one hour each you may need to convert to 3 DVDs and burn.
It's better to avoid conversion if possible. DVD Players that can play avi divx and wmv are about $60 new.
|My System Specs
|23 Dec 2011
The total playing time for all seven .wmv files is 127 minutes. I purposelhy made seven different movies so that each segment would, hopefully, be overwhelming (at least to family mebers).
I began by opening the project made earlier where all seven .wmv files had been dragged into plce but I was unable to add buttons to them that worked. When I "Click the orange thing next to the green cross,"t opens a "Burn window." Does that mean tghat I need tio start fresh?
|My System Specs
|23 Dec 2011
Sounds like they will all fit on one disc. Here's a guide for flick that shows how to add a menu:
DVD Flick Guide
|My System Specs
|23 Dec 2011
Thank you for that link. I think the Guide you attached shows the reason for my problem, It looks like I should have been doing some editing when I first imported the seven .wmv files. I will read that guide again. I am glad to have it.

Wireless PCs can stay connected when router is removed?
Ok, here is an event that happened today. Unfortunately I did not thuroughly test everything after this occured but I plan to look into it further.
Here is a little background: I currently have 3 PCs all running win7. I have my main PC that is wired to the network running x86 7057. I have a laptop that was running 7000 and obviously connected wirelessly. I also have an HTPC running x64 7068 that connects wirelessly as well. All of them are part of the same homegroup.
Now, today I was watching a movie with the htpc that was being shared from the laptop. It was only maybe a third of the way through when I had to disconnect my router because I was installing a new one. After I powered off the router and disconneted everything I fully expected the buffer on the movie to run out shortly and it to cut out. However, it did not. In fact it kept playing for well over an hour until the movie was finished. Once the movie stopped, MCE did come back up saying it could not find any shared libraries.
So, my question is, did the HTPC really buffer the whole movie in the short amount of time that I had watched the first part of the movie? Otherwise it would seem that the HTPC and laptop had connected to each other wirelessly to continue playback once the router was removed.
I tried to find more information about this but it was kind of a vague search topic. Maybe I missed this in an article about win7 or homegroups.
Anyway, I just thought it was an odd event and figured someone here would know what was going on. Like I said before, I do plan to try to reproduce this an test further if someone does not have a simple answer.
|My System Specs
|04 Apr 2009
7600.20510 x86
It buffered the entire movie. You don't mention what file type or quality, but a typical .avi is only a cd size (~700 MB+), or two. A whole DVD is anywhere from 4 to 9 GB. I am guessing you don't mean BluRay.
Any typical home network could send any of that within watching a 1/3 of a movie, which is approximately a half hour.
This is my guess.
And no, one wireless connected pc will not connect to another wireless connected pc when the router they are connected to is removed, on their own.
|My System Specs
|04 Apr 2009
Yeah, that makes more sense. I just didnt realize it would buffer the whole thing. Yes, it was just an .avi so the file wasn't more than 1GB. It just seemed like an odd incident so I figured I would throw it out here to be sure.

The exhaustive attempt to track and catalogue war crimes by the Assad regime
The baby's body was found near a checkpoint on the road that connects Homs with the ancient city of Palmyra, in central Syria, in January. At four months old, she was said to have been given over to a paternal uncle, dead, with bruises on her back, abdomen, and hands. Her parents were missing -- the family had gone to the coastal city of Tartus 16 days before, according to a video that shows her lifeless. Male voices on the video accuse Bashar al-Assad's security forces of torturing and killing the infant after she was arrested along with her family.
We don't know what really happened, whether her death was intentional or a byproduct of war. We don't know who the perpetrators were for sure. But we do know that this baby is one of the many that has died in Syria's ongoing conflict. And we know that no matter how many bodies we count, or don't, that she is a civilian, one of many documented to have been killed in more than 20 months of fighting.
Nearly a year ago, the United Nations gave up on keeping track of Syria's dead. Over the summer, the International Committee of the Red Cross declared the conflict a civil war. That means intentional attacks on civilians are now officially considered war crimes under the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. The question then becomes: How will we know what to prosecute when the fighting dies down if we don't keep track of crimes against civilians, which are, in most cases, women and children?
That's where various groups of citizen journalists and social scientists come in. One such crowdsourcing effort, called Syria Tracker, has documented more than 36,000 killings from multiple types of sources as of mid-October, including the above story about the baby killed. I will keep the names of those who run Syria Tracker, which is run by high-level social scientists, anonymous out of respect for their safety. Groups doing this kind of work have already been threatened. But their painstaking documentation, cited by USAID, can potentially tell us a great deal about what may be happening to Syria's civilians.
One way that Syria Tracker has broken down its catalogue of deaths is by gender. On average, according to the group, about 9 percent of the documented killings across Syria are of women, who are unlikely to have picked up arms in the conflict, and girls, who are inherently noncombatants. That means that, at minimum, nearly one casualty in 10 is likely a civilian, their statistics show. These women and girls are being killed in various ways -- everything from stabbing to shelling to gunshots -- many of which may be considered prosecutable internationally. "When Syrian armed forces have used indiscriminate air bombardment or artillery to attack civilian areas, these are war crimes," said Sunjeev Bery, Amnesty International USA's advocacy director for the Middle East and North Africa.
The Syria Tracker reports contain a higher proportion of women killed since February, the group says, when there was a renewed attack on Homs. This spike has not subsided since the agreed-upon ceasefire in October. "Government forces now routinely bomb and shell towns and villages using battlefield weapons which cannot be aimed at specific targets, knowing that the victims of such indiscriminate attacks are almost always civilians," Donatella Rovera, Amnesty International's senior crisis response adviser, said in September .
Beyond bombs, however, which make up 44 percent of Syria Tracker's documented killings of women and girls (vs. 23 percent for men), the group has found that the lead causes of deaths of females break down as such: 14 percent gunshot wound (vs. 31 percent for men), 5 percent shot by sniper (vs. 4 percent for men), and 3 percent "slaughtered," which, Syria Tracker told me, means "beaten or stabbed, something up close and personal" (vs. 1 percent for men).
About 9 percent of the documented killings across Syria are of women and girls.
Does this indicate the targeting of civilians? We don't know -- Are women caught in crossfire not meant for them? But it certainly begs the question. The head of Syria Tracker certainly thinks it does. "In places where you have massacres, where the military or shabiha [plainclothes militia forces] have gone in and massacred people, there's definite evidence of targeting, such as in Homs," says the group's founder, who is an epidemiologist, a physician, and a statistician. "All were hung or all slaughtered, or all were handcuffed and killed the same way. You suddenly have a big spike in one group, like women. It's very methodological. These people knew what they were doing when they went in."

If you're looking to make it a fun birthday celebration, make sure that your party theme matches your party invitations. Themed party invitations are easier than ever to create online! Customize your invitation with party details and choose from an array of beautiful colors and unique graphics. Before you can begin customizing your party invitation online, you must have a theme already selected. Here is a list of the top 3 themes to match your party invitations.
1. Outdoors: If you're celebrating a party outdoors in your backyard or at the local park, make sure your party invitations contain images that reflect nature and the outdoors. From card designs that include clouds, birds, lady bugs, dogs and more, there are so many creative images to choose.
2. Cartoons: Cartoon party invitations are a wonderful choice if you plan to throw a princess theme for your daughter or a super hero theme for your son. Pick your child's favorite character and find out if there are any card designs from that cartoon. If you're out of luck, you can still decorate the party with other items that contain images of the cartoon character and just use matching colors on the party invitations.
3. Food and Desserts: Pick card designs with images of popcorn, pizza, candy, or ice cream if you're having some sort of a pizza party or ice cream party for your child. There's nothing else better than to pass out invites with the same type of food or dessert you plan to serve at the birthday celebration!
"I am flabbergasted by how beautiful my daughters invitation turned out!! I chose with the pearl shimmer and it just makes the photos so exquisite. We have received many many compliments by friends and family on the quality of the invitation, this is for sure an invitation people will keep and not throw out. I am EXTREMELY satisfied to say the least."
"I love the colors, the quality of the paper and the printing are wonderful. I was impressed when I noticed that I could change the hair color , that was awesome."
"I was very impressed and pleased with our daughter Birthday card invitation, It was very easy to personalize,The designer work with me all the time, He was very professional and He was asking me for every little detail. We can get the color the we want. When we received the box by mail we cant wait to opened it. The most beautiful invitation ever see !! Colors, size, quality and presentation its exceeded my expectation. Thanks so much!! ""
"I received the cards so fast and the quality is just amazing!!! I would recommend using tiny prints for all occasions and there's more then cards."
"This is the 4th or 5th birthday invitation that I've bought from TIny Prints. As always, it's beautiful, good quality and shipped surprisingly fast. I bought the matching stickers and those look great too!"

Cramer: Microsoft Is Not a Sell
Debra Borchardt:
Overly hated.
Jim Cramer:
It was overly loved yesterday, overly hated today, that's the binary nature. We were talking about that with Stephanie. We're talking out of Chicago Bridge and Iron (CBI), and it was loved and it went to $62, and then there's some contract that may or may not be lost and it goes to $55. You have to take advantage of the swings now because there's really not that much to buy unless there's a price discount. You don't go in front of a Shurland sell on this particular quarter but maybe after the quarter, you take a look at it.Debra Borchardt: Listen, I think if Microsoft did some price cuts, I think they could jam out this product if they came in at a really sweet spot on their price, I think that would be it. Jim Cramer: Right. Windows 8's out. I like the product, but they have to give it away. They have to give it away. Debra Borchardt: That's what I was going to say. We have a Windows 8 on the laptop at home. I find it very intuitive. I'm not a hater. Jim Cramer: Their tablet, I think is great because they have got to give it away. They've really shown way too much. Let's just give it away. They should say, "I'll charge 50 dollars for it," and get everybody hooked. Debra Borchardt: There you go. Microsoft, definitely not a sell but definitely something that a trader could love because it is in a range, and a range you can play. --Written by Debra Borchardt in New York.
