how to tip?
We are headed on the Fantasy in two weeks! It will be our first disney cruise. From the advice on this board I think I have figured out all the things I need to bring! I do have a question about the tips- how are they handled on the ships? We cruised NCL in the past and the tips were calculated for you and put on your room tab. Is it done this way on DCL? If I have a special server, can I leave a little more or would gifts of calling cards or sweets be more appropriate? We are having dinner in Palo on one night and I understand the servers will be different- how do I tip them?

Also, by mentioning the staff that has made your trip special on your comment card at the end of the cruise greatly helps those crew membes. They get special privileges, etc. for special mentions on the comment cards.
I believe they automatically put your tips on your onboard account now. I know they do it on the Magic but I believe they now do it this way on all four ships.
Late in the cruise you will receive "vouchers" and 4 envelopes for the tipped positions....head server, server, assistant server and room host. You put the appropriate voucher in the appropriate envelope and hand them out at your last dinner or breakfast in the dining room. For the room host you can leave it on the bed when you go off to dinner. The vouchers will have the crew members name and position on it so you know which voucher goes into which envelope. This is where we always add extra cash...right in the envelope along with the voucher. The voucher is just a token to show that your tips have been paid and to hand something to the server to make it more personal.

In the past, you had to request that the tips be added to your room charge. However, it is my understanding that they're now automatically added and that you also have the option to prepay your tips before you board if you wish. I still keeps $1 bills on hand for tipping room service, though.
If you receive extra special service, I would recommend tipping additional in cash. Calling cards aren't ideal as they may not work well for the crew member him/herself. Same with treats given that individual tastes vary. Cash always fits.
For Palo and for bars, you'll receive a receipt where you can add a tip. For bars, an automatic gratuity is already added; however, we have added additional in the past when one bar server was exceptional with my DS and nieces and their mocktails.

We came off a recent Pixar cruise on the Wonder about a month ago and they had automatically added the standard tip and left the vouchers in our room. It was up to us to either ask them to remove it if we had wanted to do cash, or if we wanted to up the amount for specific servers.

We are just back yesterday from the Fantasy, they charge it to your account. they will leave you envelopes and a print out of the tips for the different people. You can just put it in the envelope and hand it to them, and you are always welcome to give extra in the envelope. I think you could add more at CS if you dont have the cash.

And someone feel free to correct me if I am wrong but we were told that the add'l gratuities given to bar staff were pooled and divided. So just something to keep in mind when tipping them, that 'your bar server' won't directly get that 'whole' tip.

If we have exceptional service cash is the way to go. The thing about extra "special" gifts is that tit is difficult to know ahead of time (unless you know the CM) if the gift is really useful for that crew member or not. The crew quarters are also small so extra items are not usually what they want. Also that is more space in your luggage and possibly cost on your part. As far as extra money there are two ways to look at this and more commonly we are told by CMs that the charge to the shipboard account is preferred. Why is that? Well first most of the CMs are sending money home so if the funds are electronically distributed to their accounts then they can more easily move the money. Cash is fine too but it is sometimes difficult to do any banking as they do not have much time off and when they do sleep is usually the answer we get as a favorite activity. It is different than on land and in the US where cash is king. We think that partially we as Americans tend to think cash is best because if you have ever worked in food service cash is preferred. Also keep in mind that the tax laws for the CMs are different so the electronic funds are often preferred. Tipping this way even ends up saving us money in the form of cash-back on our credit cards.
Anyhow they aren't going to turn down anything but as stated in the above posts. Extra money or Extra comments on the cards which can lead to promotions are the best things for the crew.

We were on the Wonder to Alaska in August. In addition to the regular tips I brought a bunch of ones and fives. I tipped the Palo server $20 for my wife and I for dinner. Each night in the main dining room I gave the main and assistant server $5 each during each meal. They did a great job and their service was a highlight for us. For lunch I usually gave each server $5.

Poly-(ADP-ribose)-polymerase (PARP) is a promising anti-cancer target as it plays a crucial role in the cellular reparation and survival mechanisms. However, the development of a robust and cost effective experimental technique to screen PARP inhibitors is still a scientific challenge owing to the difficulties in quantitative detection of the enzyme activity. In this work we demonstrate that the computational chemistry tools including molecular docking and scoring can perform on par with the experimental studies in assessing binding constants and in the recovery of active compounds in virtual screening. Using the recently introduced Lead Finder software we were able to dock a set of 142 well characterized PARP inhibitors and obtain a good correlation between the calculated and experimentally measured binding energies with the rmsd of 1.67 kcal mol−1. Additionally, fine-tuning of the energy scaling coefficients within the Lead Finder scoring function has further decreased rmsd to the value of 0.88 kcal mol−1. Moreover, we were able to reproduce the selectivity of ligand binding between the two isoforms of the enzyme-PARP1 and PARP2-suggesting that the Lead Finder software can be used to design isoform-selective inhibitors of PARP. An impressive enrichment was obtained in the virtual screening experiment, in which the mentioned set of PARP inhibitors was mixed with a commercial library of 300,000 compounds. We also demonstrate that the virtual screening performance can be significantly improved by an additional structural filtration of the docked ligand poses through detection of the crucial hydrogen bonding interactions with the enzyme.

The Goracle Invites You to Connect the Dots
**Written by Doug Powers
Because the world isn't paying attention generously enough, Al Gore is leaving behind the "Alliance for Climate Protection" and replacing it with the Climate Reality Project:
Former Vice President Al Gore launched a new campaign Tuesday aimed at exposing the "full truth, scope, scale and impact of the climate crisis."
The campaign, the Climate Reality Project, is organizing a Sept. 14 event and presentation focused on extreme weather and climate change.
For the event, Gore will unveil a new presentation modeled after the one he gave in his film "An Inconvenient Truth." Twenty-four different people will deliver the presentation in 24 time zones around the world.
Great, that means it's going to snow on September 14th.
Gore's renewed push is in no small way an attempt to address growing number of people who aren't buying what Al is selling:
NEW YORK, July 11 (UPI) — Three-quarters of Americans say natural disasters are on the increase, but fewer than ever believe the climate is heating up, a new poll finds.
Only 44 percent say they "believe the theory" that carbon dioxide emissions are warming the Earth, down from 51 percent in 2009 and 71 percent in 2007, but most movement has been into the "not sure" column.
That's why Gore has the "it's colder because of global warming" angle covered too, which has turned the entire movement into a raucous self-parody. Under the rules of "science" as set by Al Gore, there is no climate model that does anything other than prove him correct, and people have caught on.
But there's too much potential money in it to stop now. The UN recently put the price tag of "greening" the entire world by 2050 at $76 trillion. That's a lot of loot. Connect the dots.

Beirut Shopping Guide: The Best Home Design Boutiques
I love Beirut for its blend of old and new, its ancient history, its timeless traditions. It's also a modern-day accessorator's shopping mecca. Every international designer brand from Hermès to Stella McCartney is here, but my favorite spots to shop are run by locals. These young and innovative designers and merchants blend their ancient traditions with modern know-how. Here's where you should stop by.
By Judi Roaman, theaccessorator.com
Karen Chekerdjian
Karen Chekerdjian works with classically trained Lebanese craftsmen integrating contemporary patterns, design, and color with Middle Eastern tradition. Her collection of "tinned brass" accessories is a favorite of mine. My guests swoon at my dinner table, which is accessorated with stunning serving pieces from her store.

Along with the hardcore sex in each of these hot scenes, there is more than just a wee bit of pissing often captured in Full HD. The horny gals get soaked with cum and urine, but often pee all over each other too. Hot babes, hard cocks, wet pussies and streams of warm pee all over them. Updated weekly, it's the piss-bang action that you urine for!
Although they keep most of their clothes on, in each weekly update the guys and sexy girls still manage to expose their naughty bits for a good hardcore fuck followed by a wet showering of the kind you would expect from a sitename such as this one. Stream after stream of golden warmth washes over these hotties, all captured in Full HD glory. Check it out.
When these ladies have to go, they just let it flow. Watch cute chicks wet their undies, clothes and beds on this sexy peeing site. It features photo galleries with public peeing, pad peeing, jeans peeing and more, as well as Full HD videos of upskirt wetting, bed-wetting gal pals and main model Ginger talking about why she loves to piss. It's worth joining.
The weapons of choice for the hunters behind this peeing website are spycams and they use them to catch cute babes pissing in public and in bathrooms. They also sometimes like to use regular cameras to take snapshots of hotties posing and stripping before allowing themselves to be filmed pissing all over the place. Pee-porn lovers should definitely stop by.
Everybody does it, but normally they keep it private. Here you get to see ladies replying to nature's call thanks to cameras in a restroom. Sometimes you'll spy them from over the stall and other times the camera shoots from behind the toilet. You can clearly see the streams or trickles from hot pussies as fresh-faced hotties and older gals take a tinkle.
If you really have to pee and you can't get to a bathroom in time, there's only one thing to do and that's drop your pants and piss where you stand. The desperate babes on this site do just that, as they'd rather risk getting caught squatting to pee outdoors than wetting their panties. There are over 1,000 vids and they are excellent-quality. Check it out.
Let loose the hot piss! The hotties on this website alternate between toying their muffs and spreading their slick lips to piss. They do it all over their homes and even employ props. You can see them peeing and being naughty lots of Full HD videos that you won't find anywhere else. If you like to watch hot chicks pee, you'll probably love this website.
When these women squat in public and let loose streams of piss, they'll show you why their golden showers deserve the gold medal. When a hottie really has to go, these spy cams go into bathrooms and the great outdoors to catch them peeing. Your stay here will be pretty pleasant if you like a large collection and Full HD quality, but updating is kind of slow.
These girls don't need a toilet to pee in when they can just pull their pants down, pop a squat and let the urine flow right there wherever they are. Maybe they are in a parking lot or behind a building or on a secluded bridge, but they have to go and being out in public ain't gonna stop them, as you'll see in these Full HD vids. It's worth checking out.
These girls do have to pee, but that almost seems like a secondary thought to them as they prefer to just piss and get pissed on to get you and themselves off. Check out solo shoots, girl-girl scenes and hardcore sex with peeing. And these gals taste that golden nectar, too. Exclusive, high in quality and consistently growing, this pee site comes on strong.
This isn't a typical pee site. The babes featured on it have a slave/Master relationship with the guy who films them and they're forced to experience some pretty unpleasant things. The number of videos found on the site is pretty decent, but the flicks could look a little better. Still, you might want to check out this site and its wild, exclusive scenes.
Panties are pretty sexy on a babe, but what if she's peeing in them? That's what this site is all about and the variety of peeing babes and scenarios will really get you going. Some babes are desperate to piss and just can't hold it while others love to feel the hot liquid streaming down their legs and spreading across their moist pussies. Don't miss out!
This good-quality site boasts some hot piss fetish porn focused on chicks desperate to pee and those girls who cannot hold it anymore so they end up wetting themselves. Watch chicks try very hard to make it to the bathroom who end up peeing themselves in public. You'll get a good view of wet piss-stained pants, so this need to pee website is totally worth it!
These brave beauties love pissing out in the open, but not all of them have the courage. There are a few gals who pee in the shower and even into buckets and toilets. Fans of public and private pissing will like this collection. Most of the scenes are nothing special in quality, but the newer ones are more impressive. You also get a lot of bonus sites.
If you're into golf, they have a channel for that. If you like history, there's a station dedicated to that as well. Now there's something for all you pissing lovers and it's all piss, all of the time. In the vids, which are in HD in the case of newer ones, cute Russian amateurs pull down their panties to piss in public. It's expensive, but arguably worth it.
Instead of watching regular TV shows stuffed to the brim with commercial breaks or binge-watching a bunch of Netflix properties, come and check out the TV series on this site! They all star sexy Japanese babes and the plots couldn't be more engaging - they're out in public and need to pee, so they squat down and start pissing! Some show off their ass too.
When you've got to go, you've got to go. So this hot site brings you amazing content featuring amateur Russian babes pissing in nature, nourishing the ground with some sweet, sweet pee. A few hotties are also into drinking each other's liquid gold. Newer vids come in HD and there are high-res pics, so this collection is worth it even if it's a wee bit pricey.
From the kinksters who brought you Kink.com, this is where the hottest peeps go to fulfill their peeing fantasies. Whether you want to see a golden shower or a hot babe offering her mouth as a urinal, this fetish destination features all things piss. But the site got their bathroom habits under control, it seems, because there hasn't been an update in years.
This website reveals what really goes on when hot women excuse themselves to the ladies' room. Thanks to three strategically placed cameras, you get to watch as Czech cuties step into a bathroom stall to relieve themselves. One of the cameras is placed right inside the toilet bowl, so you can always count on seeing great close-ups of pussies as they piss.
Piss lovers let the pee fly, because that's what thirsty chicks want on this average-quality site. Things start with girls going about their daily lives fully clothed, but once nude, things get very wet. They pee golden showers on themselves, other babes or guys' dicks and drink lots of urine. That's hot, but this pissing collection is not the best out there.
Not only do hot mature babes love golden showers, but also nubile hotties appear to have discovered the joys of the sweet golden nectar that they can squeeze fresh from their pussies. You'll even see piss swallowed straight from the source, but as hot as that is, the content isn't very good in quality and they're not updating so joining doesn't seem worth it.
Not everyone uses a toilet when they need to pee, especially not the folks on this peeing site. They prefer to pee on each other, outdoors and even into someone's waiting mouth. The full bladders here will make you feel frisky as you watch 100+ vids of chicks and dudes delight in every drop that hits their skin. Pissing fans will want to check this site out.
They're cute, they're British and they've got to pee. It's just too bad they don't have to do it more often since updating can be infrequent. The collection is all about public pissing and, on occasion, on someone's face. These gals have a lot of fun on their whizzing escapades and you likely will too, especially since many of the videos are high in quality.
These hot honeys really have to pee and that makes them insanely horny! Watch as they strip while they get ready to piss and then touch themselves as they let the yellow liquid flow out. Those muffs get nice and wet with cum and pee and the chicks just can't get enough. Come satisfy your pee and female masturbation needs with these pretty pee princesses!
A stunning woman is surrounded by six or seven guys. What would you like to see next? If your answer is, "I want to see the girl blow one or two men at a time while the others urinate on her," your interest will be piqued by the good-looking action here. Unfortunately, this small site isn't growing, so any enjoyment of its golden showers will run dry quickly.
Maybe there aren't many public restrooms in Eastern Europe or maybe these chicks just don't care about pissing in public. Either way, you'll find Euro babes peeing on streets, in parks or even on hardwood floors. There are a few male-female public piss scenes and two chicks letting it flow outdoors. There are however, a small number of vids and no updating.
Extreme is not a strong enough adjective to describe some of the incredibly bizarre action that takes place on this worthwhile website. You'll find rough gagging, spiteful spitting, raw anal sex and, of course, facials. You'll, however, find that many of the good number of great-quality movies here are tamer at this point. There are many bonus sites as well.
These tough, and sexy, babes combine hardcore punishment and streams of piss in a blend of erotic submissiveness gone wet and wild in a golden way. All the kinky action is captured in high-res photos that are downloadable in Zip files. Still, you'll be pissed or at least a bit frustrated by the lack of vids and updates here, even with the many bonuses on tap.
These babes really love their watersports and we're not exactly talking about synchronized swimming here. No, these chicks are actually into pissing and getting pissed on on this PPV site. Not only that, but a bunch of them even love to have their filthy little mouths flushed out with lots of warm, golden pee. Check out the thousands of high-quality videos.
Greek babes are wildly perverse. This site has a mid-sized collection of pissing and creamy facial cumshots straight from the cradle of civilization. There's lesbian watersports, dudes pissing on gals and also hardcore sex and masturbation. The quality is decent and the content is exclusive, but the fee is slightly pricey and the site isn't growing anymore.
This site's scenes feature fisting and pissing. It's a great mix, but the site itself isn't all that fantastic. Its main problem is its size, as it really doesn't offer very many videos. Another problem with it is that it isn't growing at the moment. The cost of joining the website is also a little higher than it probably should be. Take your money elsewhere.
It's a pee lover's paradise with guys peeing on hot chicks, beautiful babes pissing on guys and chick-on-chick urination scenes that'll blow your mind delivered in vids that look good. Everyone involved is having a blast and it really shows. With panty-pissing action, speculum shots and many pee-chugging movies, it's worth it for pee fans, but lacks updating.
To lovers of watersports, fisting, gagging blowjobs and anal play, this collection may seem tempting at first glance. After all, hot babes sit in portable swimming pools then suck dick and get fucked earning them both golden showers and cum baths. However, in the end, this site doesn't offer many vids and membership even considering any bonuses is overpriced.
If watersports were an Olympic event, this site would be home to some gold medal pissers (It's also priced like it's made from gold.). Count on piss drinking, guys and girls pissing all over each other and a little hardcore fucking in addition to golden showers. Updates have ended, so this site isn't big enough on its own, but there are piss-related bonuses.

Oh joy....
A new zero-day vulnerability has been found so there is probably going to be another update from Oracle very soon.
Source: blog.fireeye.com/research/2012/08/zero-day-season-is-not-over-yet.html
New Java zero-day vulnerability has been spotted in the wild. We have seen this unpatched exploit being used in limited targeted attacks. Most of the recent Java run-time environments i.e., JRE 1.7x are vulnerable. In my lab environment, I was able to successfully exploit my test machine against latest version of FireFox with JRE version 1.7 update 6 installed.
It's just a matter of time that a POC will be released and other bad guys will get hold of this exploit as well. It will be interesting to see when Oracle plans for a patch, until then most of the Java users are at the mercy of this exploit. Our investigation is not over yet; more details will be shared on a periodic basis.

Many of us will have family or friends who are going through a difficult time during the period of unemployment. In a review of the research on couples with one unemployed spouse there was no direct relationship between unemployment and marital dissatisfaction (Barling, 1990). This seems counter-intuitive since we might think that unemployment would lead to greater conflicts in a marriage. However, unemployment can also lead to a recognition that you are lucky to have the support that you do-and some marriages can actually get stronger. So, it depends on how you handle it.
I've been writing about ways that you can handle your unemployment: Unemployed and Ruminating: Seven Steps to Turning it Around; When Self-Criticism is True: Turn Self-Criticism into Self-Correction; The Shame of Unemployment; Facing Unemployment: Ten Steps to Handling Your Unemployment Anxiety and I have discussed this on a variety of NPR radio programs across the country (click here). The enormous interest in the media on coping with unemployment reflects not only our recognition that millions of people are out of work and will continue to be unemployed, but that unemployment can be psychologically devastating. You may be reading this because you are unemployed---but also because you have a family member or friend who is unemployed.

.- The Bishops' Conference of Italy has issued a statement calling the European Union decision to fund research on human embryos "morally unacceptable" because it constitutes an attack on innocent human life.
The bishops note that they, "have insisted and insist frequently that any research that involves human embryos corresponds to an anthropological point of view that does not consider human life as an end but rather as a means for achieving certain aims—albeit some of which may be noble—such as the treatment of disease and scientific knowledge."
"Science must serve man, not use him, especially man in his most fragile state—an embryo in its first days of life," they added.
The bishops appealed to "Italian politicians and all those who can still stop this ethical attack" and to the EU "not to allow its funds to be used in any way for this grave attack on the dignity of man regarding his fundamental right to life, without which all other personal or social values lose their essence."
"Benedict XVI reminded us that 'the protection of life in all of its stages, from conception until natural death, is a non-negotiable principle'," the bishops emphasized.

The 38,000 m2 facility would offer quiet space for those who want to read or research as well as for larger public functions. Inside, visitors could make use of not only the library but also a theatre complex, reading rooms, conference facilities, book stores, exhibition space, an open air theatre, a public plaza and outdoor space, and a sedum moss green roof. The expansive garden deck at the center of the design would be elevated from the street level to act as a buffer zone between the inner garden and the urban fabric of the site.
The potted plants that line the building will provide shade to cool the interior of the library and cut down on electricity. Inside the shaded garden, city dwellers will be able to escape the bustle of the business district and curl up with a book or just meet with friends. In addition to the outdoor reading room the library will have a playground and a central multifunctional space connected to a large children's theatre with flexible indoor and outdoor seating.
The giant three-dimensional garden was designed in collaboration with Taipei-based Artech Architects and recently snagged the team second place in the open design competition.

Amazing Amish Quilts: Why Are They So Extraordinary?
The Amish are a community of traditional Christian people that is a subgroup under the Mennonite church. Amish people are known for their simplicity; they choose to live a simple life that is without distraction. As such, they clothe themselves simply while steering clear of modern technology. As a part of their religion, they avoid "worldly" things. The Amish originally migrated to Pennsylvania from Switzerland in the 18th century and then spread out to many other states.

Amish women are known for their incredible quilts. They have been sewing them by hand since the 1800s. These works of art reflect their way of life. Traditional Amish quilts are very distinct. They were made with only solid colors, and they only use colors that their religious leaders have allowed. These quilts were made for home use, layered on furniture and beds so that they could be used daily. Oftentimes Amish women would gather together for quilt bees to work together as a group. This would provide a time of socialization during which they would also work together in order to complete quilts quickly.
What makes Amish quilts so extraordinary? In general, the craftsmanship is parallel to none other. The women are diligent in their quilting, and they have mastered the skills. While the level of complexity in the quilt tops varies from simple to advanced, the piecework is always top notch. The hand quilting tends to be highly detailed and is very precise. Many quilters, quilt collectors, and museums consider Amish quilts to be highly prized pieces of art.
As the years went by, some Amish women chose to sell their quilts, as this is a way for the women to contribute to their household income. To show the public that there are available quilts, the women put a simple sign in front of their house declaring "Quilts for sale" or "Quilts sold here." If there are certain days of the week that they are not selling, such as Sundays (church gathering day) or Thursdays (wedding days), then this is also stated here. Some Amish women provide their hand quilting skills to the public for a fee. Denyse Schmidt, the immensely popular quilter and designer, utilizes the hand quilting skills of Amish women in Minnesota. She offers a line of made-to-order couture quilts that are designed by her and hand quilted by Amish women. For more information on these quilts, please visit her website.
Are you interested in purchasing your own Amish quilt? There are several ways to get your hands on them, such as auctions and estate sale, but I think that the best option is to go straight to the source. Large Amish communities, such as the one in Lancaster, PA, have plenty of goods available to the public. If you are visiting the area, there are many Amish that sell their goods, including quilts, from their homes or through local stores or warehouses. If you do not have the ability to visit one of these locations in person, many of the stores from those areas sell their Amish goods online. Through careful internet searches, you will be able to locate stores that sell Amish quilts.

Quilting is a great way to slow down in a frantic world. Amish quilts reflect this slow and simpler way of life. They embody the Amish belief of "hand to work – heart to god" through their beauty and skill. They are truly remarkable pieces of art.
I didn't see you mention that the Amish traditionally turn one block of their quilts sideways because they might be seen as perfect and only God creates perfectly. I have seen many Amish quilts, but not for the last ten years, but then they were still doing that.
Odd that you would have an applique quilt in the photo for this article. Applique is not a traditionally Amish technique. In fact in Pennyslvania the quilt brokers are known to hire the Hmong women to applique, since people want to buy some traditional quilt designs like Rose of Sharon.
My ancestors are Amish and I love to do anything that "embraces my heritage". I have visited the Amish farms in PA several years ago and it was a wonderful very enlightening experience. Now I know why I like the older fashioned looking quilts so much more than the modern ones. I will bet those quilting bees were a barrel of fun for those ladies, even though they seldom smile or laugh! I wish I could get a few ladies together here locally so we could start our own quilting bee.
I recently tried quilting a large quilt which had been pieced by my Aunt. I didn't have enough space so a friend of mine told me of a lady in Crab Orchard, Kentucky who might quilt it for me. I went and met her and she agreed to do the quilt. It turned out much better than I ever could imagine. I will hire her again. She was wonderful!
I totally disagree with this statement in your article!!!!!!!! 'What makes Amish quilts so extraordinary? In general, the craftsmanship is parallel to none other.'
I know many people that make extraordinary quilts, with high quality workmanship, if not a lot better than some Amish quilts.
I own an Amish Quilt. My daughter and son-in-law purchased it for me. I am delighted to own it and I am pleased to have it in my home. It take a place of honor here.
Crafting is something to be proud of when it is done carefully and with good workmanship. I am just learning to quilt and I plan some day to be able to turn our something to please others.
It should be mentioned that "Amish" quilts found in the shops in Lancaster county are made for the tourist trade and are not traditionally "Amish" quilts. Most are made with contemporary printed fabrics and not in the plain fabrics used for "Amish quilts made for Amish". Buyer beware!
I love log cabin quilts, one of these days I am going to make one…
Nice little article, but full of misinformation. Amish quilts are almost all machine-pieced. Traditionally, the quilting is hand-done, but not the piecework. Your article does not mention the black backgrounds that are hallmarks of Amish quilts at all, nor that different Amish communities can be identified by the piecework patterns they use or used in the past. Your use of a photo that does not show traditional Amish quilts is disappointing at best and misleading at worst. Add in the complete lack of proofreading for grammar–this article is not up to your usual standards, Craftsy.
There is a large Amish home quilt industry in Waterloo Cty in Ontario, Canada. Handmade Amish quilts are sold in stores in St. Jacobs. Every May a World Mennonite Relief Auction is held in New Hamburg and some quilts sell for as much as $10,000 – they are gorgeous and museum quality. Every quilt is donated by the maker and all funds raised are used directly in world relief.

Nurse Practitioner Elected Medical Staff President
Donaldson now holds the quarterly medical staff meetings away from the hospital in a local restaurant and enjoys excellent attendance. Unlike most medical staff meetings, the event includes any member of the medical staff, whether physicians, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant.
"For a long time, we looked a lot at other hospitals to see what happened," says Donaldson. "When I look at other hospitals, I find that very few places have it that non-physicians can be members of the medical staff hierarchy."
Donaldson recommends other hospitals follow Ellenville Regional's lead. Anyone who has the capability or qualifications to run should be allowed to run if they are a member of the medical staff and meet the appropriate criteria. "Folks are doing such a large part of the job," he says. "Why wouldn't you want to get their input into what's going on?"
Donaldson doesn't spend much time worrying about hierarchy or turf wars. He's too busy getting on with patient care and helping the hospital experience a financial turnaround that's seen the ER expanded by 50% in the last five years.
Donaldson quotes his first physician collaborator, who once noted turf wars are for politicians.
"The people who are actually in the field doing the work are happy to have a colleague alongside them doing the same work in the same manner," he says. "It's not the people in the field who are making these comments and fighting over turf. They're trying to get their patients taken care of. It's the people in the medical societies who makes those battles."
Look at what happened at Ellenville, he says. Turf wars don't have to be a distraction. Clearly, this hospital has collaborative practice figured out.

Congratulations, this is such an important step for patients and families. Care can only be improved by high functioning interdisciplinary teams and what many consumers feel when they spend time with an Advanced Practice Nurse is they are treated as a whole person. Nursing continues to research and enrich clinical care through this view.
VBA (3/19/2011 at 1:39 PM)
Regarding medical management, the individual makes more difference than whether they are a physician or a nurse or a tech or anyone. A leader is a leader. With respect to the management of the critically ill patient and performing intubations, central lines, cracking a chest, cardioversion, and performing many other tasks, I am very concerned about not having a trained emergency physician in the emergency department. A nurse practitioner or physician assistant can do an amazing job for 90% of the patients who come to the ED, but there is a difference in the training both in content and duration between the two specialties (NP, PA is definitely a specialty and are amazingly skilled positions). its similar to a computer programmer and a the hardware engineer; both very skilled, but different talents and knowledge sets. They are not substitutes of each other and can be very dangerous when someone comes to the ED with a true emergency to not have the right person there to help them.
Susan Johnson (3/18/2011 at 11:06 PM)
I'm sorry, but when I go to an emergency room I expect their to be a doctor on-site. Maybe a nurse can handle many/most of the things that go on in an ER, but its ridiculous that there's absolutely no ER doctors on staff and its all nurses and PAs. Thats extremely dangerous to let these folks practice solo without supervision. An ER doctor has more than 4 times the training that an emergency NP or PA gets. We are not talking about a clinic where people treat cough and runny nose. The name is EMERGENCY for a reason and we need the BEST trained people we can get in there. I will not be coming to that hospital anytime soon and I'd advise everyone else to steer clear of it.

Most professional carpet cleaning services feel that they provide an excellent level of service for the prices they charge. However, we must also be reminded that we are usually not as good as we think we are. Remember the "Lake Woebegone Syndrome"?
The ProblemManagement and office staff, as well as cleaning technicians, usually do little to create value in the customers mind. As an example, even such a deceivingly simple step as explaining the importance of each procedure in the cleaning process is consistently overlooked. This is a case where familiarity with a repetitive process devalues the process in the minds of those who do the same thing day in and day out, week after week.
On the other hand, the customer cannot place a true value on what they are paying for if all they see is a change from dirty to clean for an agreed dollar amount. You and I both know it's not that simple, but your customer doesn't! Therein lies the problem.
Another cleaner comes along and explains everything they're going to do and why they're going to do it—and takes your customer away, often at a higher price than you charged. To top it off, they didn't do any more than you would have.
The Solution?Help everyone (you, your office staff and the technicians) in your company learn how to prepare an elevator speech.
Delivering the "Elevator Speech"
The purpose of an elevator speech is to answer the questions, "What do you do?" or "What will you do?" in the time it takes an elevator to go from one floor to the next! That means 30 seconds or less, with a 20-30 word limit. It's amazing what you can explain in this short time period with a little practice.
Once a person realizes how little it takes to give a good answer, they'll be ready to add value to every job your company does.
Here is an important tip: Don't prepare a canned script for your staff! They must each develop their elevator speech themselves, with your guidance of course.
The StrategyProvide staff members with a copy of the IICRC S001 Carpet Cleaning Standard as their information resource. Have each one prepare their elevator speech on the same subject, using the following subjects, one at a time: Pre-inspection; pre-vacuuming; pre-treatment; grooming; and carpet protector application.
Allow them adequate time to read up on the subject and to develop their own elevator speech.
Also, suggest that they start by completing this sentence. "I have been trained ____________." Be sure the answer is crystal clear so that the customer will instantly recognize the added value of the process described.
Next, have each participant share their results out loud, and ask the other staff members to offer helpful suggestions for improvement. Have them write down their final elevator speech draft for reference. This deceivingly simple step will do more to powerfully cement long lasting customer relationships than all the coupons or give-a-ways you can come up with!
As Harry Beckwith says, "There are no ordinary jobs. There are only people who insist on performing them in ordinary ways."

In the year 21XX and humans and reploids (extremely intelligent robots) have been co-existing peacefully, however more and more malfunctions have been appearing. These rogue reploids, called Mavericks, are running rampant and plotting to finally, and completely, shirk the yoke of their human companions. It is up to Mega Man X and Zero, and their Maverick hunter companions to stop them.
If you've ever played a Mega Man game, you already have a grasp on the controls. In case you didn't already know, this is a remake of the first Mega Man X, and it handles about the same way, except that you have access to the analog stick, which facilitates a quick change of weaponry mid-level.
Oh, speaking of mid-level, you can also leave a level without beating the boss, which is a welcome change if you want to go around collecting the power-ups before you tackle the bosses. Purists may see this as making the game too easy, and evoking, "Back in my day" speeches all around, but I think it just makes it less frustrating.
Graphics and Sound
One of the coolest things about MMX:MH is the voice acting, and not only are the voices appropriate, but there was attention paid to giving the voices that metallic twang like you would expect a robot to have.
The second coolest thing about the game is the re-done soundtrack. The X series has always been known for its heavy metal soundtracks, but they have been taken from midi format and re-done as befitting the capability of the Playstation Portable (PSP).
I will say, that perhaps it is my conservative nature, but I was not too impressed with the 3D art at first, but the 3D rendering, while it lacks the nostalgic presence of sprites, allows for a wider range of animation within the story related segments of the game.
Final Thoughts
I'll admit that I have always been a Mega Man X fan, but this game gets me pumped up. When I was 7, I picked up the original in its large SNES "cart" glory (some of you young whipper-snappers probably don't even know what a "cart" is, except for perhaps an instrument of vehicular tom-foolery).
Beyond my fanboyism, the game boasts two really cool features for when you beat it for the first time. First, you unlock the OVA movie: "Day of Sigma" (in widescreen, of course), and also the ability to play through the game as Vile, who, if you have played the later X series games, plays similarly to Zero in that he has a plethora of moves acquired from the bosses instead of blaster weapons.
I had my doubts about this game, but it came through. I dont know if this game should make you want to buy a PSP if you don't already have one, but I really tried to find something negative to say about it, and I really can't. Everything about this game was so masterfully improved from the original that I have no complaints.
Final Verdict: 10 out of 10

"Was wanting more then what this delivers"
Yes, I do enjoy the sci fi story of young women! Also hoping book 3 is better then two.
Learning the history of the characters was interesting, I'm still debating if I enjoy the little comical parts between Cinder and her fellow escape buddy.
I was a little disappointed that you could tell what was going to happen vs. being surprised, but still the story is good and I hope to be interested in #3 book.
"Didn't see that one coming!!"
With the best of them!
There are so many places in this story where I was thinking one thing, and then was surprised with "oh my gosh no way !"
Seeing how both of these characters make you feel as crazy as they are made me enjoy both of them however if I had to choose sides I like Kirby's more .
Yes! The constant twists and turns has made me more interested in reading more books in this category that is not my typical MO
"Can relate in many ways and yet lucky I couldn't"
I didn't read the print, but did find it refreshing to have it read by the actual author.
Having the points in the story where I knew just what certain feelings felt like or just how the brain works when having a ED.
The Idea of not being able to just have a baby because of an illness that needs to be fixed was moving. Luckily for myself I never had issues with getting pregnant, or not able to because of my on and off ED issues.
"Awesome witch story that keeps you wanting more"
Yes, there's a great plot!
The main character is supposed to highly educated yet seems sort of unrealistically dumb with other life, not that I disliked her but there are moment where i was thinking I would have expected a little more out of her.
There are some things that I can relate to and this made it more personal and the feel of being there.
"Battlestar galactica meets fairy tale girl!"
Personally found this book addicting to listen to.
Cinder is a typical girl and
I've her normalcy other then actually being a cyborg!
Lots of action and drama kept this going, how ever there are a few predictable things in the story
There were some funny parts here and there, some parts that make you really dis like the terrible step mother and other parts that make you want Cinders side kick girl "yoko" as your buddy too!
Love the fresh girly touches to science fiction!
