Whether or not the 49ers win the Super Bowl, Mission District artist and community organizer Roberto Hernandez will lead a parade of three dozen team-themed lowriders - decked out with everything from flags, decals, blankets, fuzzy dice and blowup linebackers - up and down 24th Street.
"We've been waiting for this day for 18 years. We're gonna ride 24th till the 5-0s shut the street down," he said, referring to the police. "Gearing up the cars, which are like our passion, our babies, it shows support, sends a message from our house to theirs."
At a rally the week before, he fired up a barbecue and invited a few (OK, several dozen) friends over for beer and nachos to discuss logistics for their Super Bowl Sunday tribute.
It won't have the scale or polish of the celebratory parade that will come to town if they win (like those the Giants enjoyed after the recent World Series wins), but it will be heartfelt, even if a loss leaves the participants heartbroken.
The plan is to gather and park the lowriders - meticulously customized old cars, repainted and set up to pop with hydraulic power - on the sidewalks and road outside Hernandez's home.
They'll put up long tents along the sidewalk, split a cable line and string out extension cords to power half a dozen flat-screen TVs outside. While waiting for the broadcast to begin, the cars will tune in to classic rock and mariachi stations while Hernandez makes carne asada.
When the clock runs out in the fourth quarter, they'll get in their lowriders and, whistles and horns in full force, drive through the streets. (Since they did not secure a permit, it is possible the route may change or be short-lived.)
Inflatable linebacker
Roped onto the roof of Hernandez's Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme is an oversize inflatable likeness of a 49ers linebacker he borrowed from a friend, powered by the same generator he'll use for the hydraulics.
"Cruising is a cultural thing. The first thing people do when they see us is wave up and down, which means hit the switches, they want to see the cars dance," said Hernandez, 56 years old and wearing 49ers-themed red and black sneakers. "When you've got flags and the decals, you kind of see the team dance, too."
Hernandez, head of the San Francisco Lowrider Council and an airbrush artist, did the same ride last time the 49ers won the Super Bowl.
"It was a little different 18 years ago. We went cruising every single playoff game," he said.
"There were more families and Niners fans in the neighborhood then. I mean, the kids here now, they'll party with you, because they like to party, but they're not diehards. We welcome 'em all, though."
Alex Villar, a 42-year-old custodian who lives two blocks from Hernandez, is planning to drive his yellow Skylark Buick with the convertible top propped in the air - the better to showcase a 5-foot-wide 49ers flag. He got 49ers dice for the rearview mirror, large magnetic decals for the doors, and blankets to cover the seats.
San Francisco pride
"We're gonna show the Niners that this is their city," he said, referring to the team's impending move to Santa Clara.
"I played football in high school, and I didn't quite make it to the NFL, but I support the team 100 percent. The cars let them know we're here," said San Mateo resident Alan Guillen, 29, whose burnt tangerine Cadillac Coupe de Ville, lifted by hydraulics almost to shoulder height, has flags strapped to the antennas and paraphernalia dangling out of the windows. "It shows how dedicated we are to them."
After the game, Guillen will be getting the roof painted with a mashup of the Giants and 49ers logos that he's designed himself.
"First, we had the Giants. Now we'll have the Niners," said Guillen, who has a 49ers logo tattooed across the back of his buzzed head. "The best way to honor this team now is to get the hood patterned."
Hernandez hopes the cars will stay decorated for a long time after the game.
"We started planning this parade before the season started," he said as he checked the inflation level of his linebacker.
"Whether they win or lose, it doesn't matter. It's an accomplishment that they made it this far. I'm not taking that guy off the roof for a long time."

this is amazing but gets boring
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Brought me back
I like it all until that chorus comes in with just the guitar, it sounds a bit warped.
Everything else was PWNsome tho
thanks for the creative criticism
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Very well done and epic-sounding
However, a few rough edges could be smoothed over a bit, if you listen toward the end of the segment. I could tell what you were tryin to do with it though and it would be a perfect 10 if those small changes were made. Overall, nice work. If I were a videogame boss, I'd totally want this as my theme.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
I like it.
I knew I saw this request somewhere, because I discovered you website while checking stage3-1's requests, so I know it's from there! :)
I like it, but I still think that your "sequencer" doesn't sound great. Just as an information, how much time do you put into each of your BMGs covers?
Ok, first of all, the sequencer can't sound bad, the instruments can. Secondly, what don't you like? What sounds bad? Reviews like this piss me off, when people say something doesn't sound good but the generalize, they don't say specifically WHAT sounds bad, so I don't even listen to their review. And I spend as much time as needed on each cover. Sometimes 3 hours, sometimes all day for one song, it all depends.

15 Ways to Fix Everything With Vinegar
Forget those expensive, chemical-laden cleaners and air fresheners. Instead, reach for the bottle of vinegar in your cupboard. Vinegar has hundreds of uses, and most of them have nothing to do with cooking or salad dressings.
By Brett Martin
Dishwasher and Garbage Disposal
Appliances that grind waste or clean dirty dishes can start to stink. So try a little vinegar. For the dishwasher, pour a cup of vinegar into the bottom (dont place it in the soap dispenser) and run it without any dishes inside on a hot water setting. For the disposer, pour in a cup of vinegar. Turn on the disposer for a second to spread the vinegar around, then turn it off. Wait for a couple minutes, then turn the disposer back on with the water running. Another method is to pour vinegar into ice trays, freeze it, then drop the vinegar ice cubes into the disposer while running it. Itll remove odors, and the ice will sharpen the blades.

It's Monday! That means it's time for another Monday Musing. This week's question is Do you judge a book by its cover?
All. The. Time. I know the adage well, but the truth is that publishers spend a lot of money paying people to design book covers. You know who I think does a consistently good job? Source Books. Just take a look at some of their covers. Sometimes judging a book by its cover has led me astray. Check out this gorgeous cover for Blackbird House:
And yet I didn't care for the book.
I think it's human nature to check out the package and be attracted to it before we get to know the contents. We do that with potential mates as well as books, so judging a book by its cover is nothing new.
Some covers I just love? The Ruben Toledo drawings for Penguin classics. My favorites are Jane Eyre:
and The Scarlet Letter:
But I love Wuthering Heights, too:
Love it or hate it, you can't deny the cover of Twilight has been influential:
This is probably one of the most iconic covers of all time, and it has such an interesting background, too.
Scribner has a reissue edition, which is pretty, by the way, but not as iconic as the Cugat original.
Here are some books I've read, bought, or received recently that I think have pretty covers:

Along similar lines of furthering arts education, a group called OneArt, "dedicated to the cultural enrichment of handicapped and underprivileged children since 1979" and located in the Miami Design District at 180 NE 39th Street, is offering free drama, dance, and arts classes for students ages eight through fifteen with its "Kids Off Streets" program. Participants will be encouraged to audition for a performing company under the direction of Jose Martin, artistic director of OneArt and former dancer with the Joffrey Ballet of New York. For more information, call Alexander Prado at 576-7447.
Finally, local playwright Janice Lapore needs not more education but well-deserved encouragement for her increasingly successful efforts to make a South Florida voice heard on the national stage. Janice's Delores Rain, which premiered at ACME three years ago, is now being developed for production at The Organic Theater in Chicago. Another work is under consideration at the Arena Stage in Washington, while a short piece is being similarly perused by the famed Humana Festival in Louisville. Meanwhile, her newest, A Curse of Angels, can be seen this summer at ACME's original play festival. As I've said before, the secret to making a real impact on the theater world at large lies in developing original plays. Let's hope there are more like Janice out there, more local theaters willing to take the risk of birthing new work, and more audience members willing to be challenged and surprised.

Nov. 22 (Bloomberg) -- Slovenia, whose borrowing costs surged in the past 10 days, may sell bonds in other currencies than the euro for the first time if it fails to attract enough investors to an auction of 1 billion euros ($1.35 billion) of Treasury bills.
The euro-region nation plans to sell 18-month Treasury bills on Dec. 6 instead of longer maturities after the yield on its 10-year bond rose to a record 7.77 percent on Nov. 11 as the debt crisis in Europe intensified. The notes fell below 7 percent yesterday for the first time since the record jump and were trading at 7.024 percent at 11:07 a.m. in Ljubljana today.
"The situation on European financial markets is too uncertain to rely just on the sale of long-term bonds, even though we are prepared for one," the Finance Ministry in Ljubljana said in an e-mail response to questions. "We have offers for private placement and we can also sell bonds on the U.S., Japanese or Swiss debt market if the Treasury-bill sale is unsuccessful."
The turmoil in Europe that began more than two years ago in Greece and has engulfed Ireland, Portugal, Italy and Spain is close to reaching France, the euro region's second-biggest economy. Slovenia, which borders Italy, saw its borrowing costs surge after the yield on Italian government debt breached 7 percent on Nov. 9.
Slovenia had its credit rating cut one level beginning in September by Standard & Poor's, Moody's Investor Service and Fitch Ratings after the ouster of Prime Minister Borut Pahor's government that failed to convince voters on the need for pension changes and its inability to cut spending.
Debt Sale Plans
Slovenia, which this year sold 3 billion euros of government bonds, may sell as much as 4 billion euros of debt in 2012, the Finance Ministry said.
The former Yugoslav republic will need to sell 3 billion euros of bonds next year to repay old debt and finance the deficit, according to Gyula Toth, the chief strategist for central and eastern Europe at UniCredit SpA in Vienna.
Slovenia failed to rein in fiscal spending and its "reform momentum has stopped" since voters rejected the extension of the retirement age to 65 in a June referendum, said Toth.
The government deficit will narrow to 5.7 percent of gross domestic product by year's end from 5.8 percent a year ago and from a balanced budget in 2007, according to the European Commission forecast. Public debt is estimated to surge to 45.5 percent of total output from 38.8 percent in 2010, the Nov. 10 report by the European Union's executive arm said.
'Nonsense Price Action'
"The price action is nonsense, since Slovenia has low debt levels," Lutz Roehmeyer, a fund manager at Landesbank Berlin Invest in Berlin who oversees 11.5 billion euros and owns Slovenian bonds and government guaranteed debt issued by banks, said in an e-mail today. "That has to change now. If not, the country will be a troubled one."
Greece, Ireland and Portugal had to seek assistance from the EU and the International Monetary Fund after borrowing costs became unsustainable. Slovenia has no plans to seek aid from abroad, EU and Development Minister Mitja Gaspari said on Nov. 15.
Slovenia faces early elections on Dec. 4 with former Prime Minister Janez Jansa likely to win the contest, according to latest opinion polls. If he forms the new government, Jansa will need to rein in spending and spur the economy, which may be sliding into recession, according to Finance Minister Franc Krizanic.
ECB Purchases
Borrowing costs eased yesterday after the European Central Bank stepped up purchases of Italian government bonds, according to analysts, including Radivoj Pregelj from lender Abanka Vipa d.d.
"The ECB in its Securities Market Program isn't buying Slovenian bonds," the Finance Ministry in Ljubljana said. "We believe there is no need for that since Slovenia's problems can be solved with the implementation of structural reforms and further consolidation of public finances."
The Slovenian Democratic Party, led by Jansa, would get 25 percent support, followed by the Citizens List of Gregor Virant, with 19 percent, according to a poll by Mediana and published by the public broadcaster TV Slovenija on Nov. 14. Zoran Jankovic, the Ljubljana mayor who joined the race on Oct. 11, was third with 14 percent.
Slovenia is rated AA- at S&P and Fitch and an equivalent Aa3 at Moody's, the fourth highest investment grade.

The Rev. Eugene F. Rivers 3d struck such a forceful pose and tone on the cover of the Boston Herald
In an op-ed column, the cofounder of the Boston TenPoint Coalition castigated black voters for a litany of sins, many of them related to the supposedly unsophisticated failure to coalesce around a single candidate of color.
To Rivers — an energetic advocate for former state representative Charlotte Golar Richie — his community's failure led to the apparently heartbreaking result that two white Irish men are facing off in the final election for mayor of Boston.
Rivers was especially troubled by the fools who didn't even bother to vote.
"It is striking that a map of the voter turnout in the city reveals that the participation of communities of color, despite the abundance of candidates of color, was again extremely lackluster, in an election where turnout was generally low."

A very large tree is immediately outside of our apartment. We watch as from 6-11 LARGE Marabou storks are building nests and preparing for new additions to their families. These birds must weigh 20 pounds and when they take off in flight it sounds like an airplane taking off. They are a very unattractive bird and local lore says they cannot be eaten as they will "kill or at least bewitch" you. Consequently they tend to live and rule the area with no fear of humans it seems. They are somewhat "protected" by local authorities as they clean the trash on the streets by eating it!

September 6, 2014 - Teaching and Work
Noel and I have been teaching for a few weeks now. So much work and preparation to be ready for the classes. To say the first week went well would be a gross exaggeration. The class timetable did not come out until the night before the classes were to begin. No one knew where or when they would teach. This was equally, or more difficult for the students. For us we had no idea where the classes would be held, how many students or what would be available in the classrooms. A rough and humbling week.
We just finished our third week and things have settled into a rhythm. So different to have to find and take your projector, your chalk, writing paper, masking tape, and absolutely everything you will need for the class with you to every building. We are getting better but I forget at least one item every time. The students are respectful and serious. Engagement and trust takes time and we must be patient. Resources are so different and sparse. We still struggle with power outages all day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. This makes for an entirely different type of preparation for class. Some buildings have a generator which helps greatly. Interestingly the classroom may have a generator but the hospital does not. Rationale is that it is a different pool of government money (department of health vs. department of education).

August 7, 2014 - Arrival at our new home in Mbarara
We packed all of our stuff for the third and last time before our work begins. The apartment is nice, no real sheets or other essentials the first night but so good to be in the place we will call home. The weather here in Mbarara is absolutely beautiful, in the low 70s with a nice breeze, and with many less mosquitos than in Kampala. We still sleep under the mosquito net each night but somehow if feels less threatening.

Swearing in officially at the US Ambassador's house in Kampala
We finally finished our pre-service training and had an absolutely beautiful ceremony at the Ambassador's home. Interestingly, many of the Ugandan's thought that Noel was the Ambassador (as they felt the resemblance was uncanny), and took their picture beside him. The Ambassador was out of the country and so the assistant presided and did an excellent job. We joined 39 Peace Corps volunteers that were sworn in the same day. They were so excited and almost all of them wore clothing that was of traditional fabric. They also played the Ugandan drums and did a traditional dance. The speeches were brief but inspiring and Noel and I could not help but feel proud and excited about our impending experience.
Time will tell for all of us.

July 2014-A visit with the "bonesetter" and the "traditional healer"
A truly amazing day as we visited a very respected family of "bonesetters". They offer an alternative to the public health system and it was absolutely fascinating. We all agreed that the facility and the care given surpassed what we typically have seen in the national hospitals. The bonesetter had his own small facility that the clients could, and do, live in for many days. He was extremely knowledgeable, very willing to answer questions, and very proud of his lineage as a bonesetter. We have an orthopedic surgeon in our group and he too said if he broke a bone he would trust the bonesetter over the standard hospital care.
The "traditional Healer" was a woman of 82 who sat on her reed mat and had an assortment of plastic containers with herbs in front of her. She had inherited the practice from her grandmother. We were all were asked to remove our shoes before entering her little room as she said she wanted to avoid infections. She talked about being able to treat: syphilis, infertility, uterine fibroids, pneumonia, and other common ailments. Herbs that she spoke about included: garlic, ginger, onions, nutmeg, and several roots and flowers. She had been a healer for over 40 years and states she cares for between 40 and 50 people per day. We have so much to learn from the innate knowing of these healers.

July 2014 - The beginning
It already feels like we have been away from our friends and family for a very long time. I left Knoxville on July 7th to begin this year in Uganda. After 10 days in DC for Global Health orientation Noel joined me and we flew to Kampala, Uganda.
Kampala Uganda is everything you would imagine a very large city in a developing country to be. The streets are crowded, the market is flourishing, the space feels strange and unknown to us as travelers. It would be hard to differentiate it from a large city in Malawi.
We are tired and a little unsettled as we repack for several days in the home of our future, Mbarara. The homestay family is kind and open their home to us without reservation. We have been warned and try to protect our electronics from the overwhelming power surges. Noel had his "volt" protector totally burn up. We will learn how to plan and protect our electronics as well as we can.
I flew to Hong Kong on the 24th to present at the 25th international nursing research conference. Another time change and an attempt to reset my circadian rhythm. Moving and resorting of personal luggage again and attempting to look professional. It was an amazing conference as nurses from throughout the world came and presented their work. It is humbling to see the amazing work that many colleagues are producing to answer some of the health care issues throughout the world. Again I am reminded of what a small speck I am in the world.
It is fascinating to watch and observe the behavior and routines of people. I feel like a fly on the wall observing the world. I realize I am not invisible but feel that way as I am unable to communicate with those I sit and stand beside. Hong Kong-big, very busy, many tall buildings, people rushing everywhere. The masses flow and move with minimal personal space around them. I, as a westerner, am often overwhelmed by the close proximity of the people around me. Standing in a line to go to the peak that overlooks Hong Kong was a continual reminder of just how large I prefer my personal space to be. Will this change for me? Will I lose some of my need for my western habits?
So today I fly back to Uganda after a 9 hour layover in Dubai. Another culture that is so far from my known space. An absolutely beautiful and modern airport with buzzing activity and all stores open even at 4 AM. If feels like its own city at the airport. I am surrounded by voices that share every language of the world. We are all so similar and yet we are so different in how we approach the day to day life and routine. My comfort is greater in Dubai than in Hong Kong. My internal rhythm seems out of timing with life in Hong Kong.
So now I wonder how will I acclimate to Uganda? Will I fall into a natural rhythm with the life, the students, and the faculty? It already feels like I have been gone a very long time yet in reality it is only three weeks. For today I celebrate and marvel at:
· The wonder of people of the world
· The absolute beauty of people that share our world
· The sense that we are all so very similar in what we need and value in life
· How fortunate I am to have this experience and a renewed look at life.
· The wonder of people of the world

New Video of MIT's Minority Report Interface: G-Speak
John Underkoffler thrilled geeks and normals alike when he designed the revolutionary computer interface seen in Steven Spielberg's Minority Report. Using nothing more than gloves and gestures, Tom Cruise was able to explore video clips and massive amounts of data using the futuristic controls. Now, the real life version of Underkoffler's creation, called G-Speak, is slowly making its way towards market. We've shown you Underkoffler's presentation at the most recent TED conference, and explored G-Speak and other creations in development at startup company Oblong. Now, the guys at Crunch Gear managed to snag some face time with the interface in person. Watch below as a MIT undergraduate explains gestures and demonstrates two special programs (Grabby and Erf) made to show off G-Speak's futuristic controls. The kid may not have Cruise's style, but he still puts on a good show.
As you can see in the video, G-Speak uses a mounted camera to track the user's gloves as they move in space. It has sub millimeter precision and can handle quick motions and multiple users. You and your friends will never have to touch a computer again. In his TED talk, Underkoffler promised that in a few years, we wouldn't even need the gloves anymore – computer vision and tracking would improve enough so you could just use your bare hands. I'm looking forward to the day that I'll be able to wade through the digital world looking like an orchestra conductor. Sure, we'll probably have gesture TVs, and definitely gesture video games in the next few months, but they won't have the level of control of G-Speak. This thing is still one of a kind.

What about text input?
The gloves don't keep you from using a traditional keyboard. Also, speech to text microphones….whatever you feel like. I think G-Speak is much more about navigating data than creating it.
I wonder how much of this crosses into Microsofts Kinect technology for the xbox. Seems to be the same thing but with Microsoft I dont need the gloves.
In five years or less, we'll have cameras (plural) in our computer/game/television rooms using an 802.11n signal to interact with the world. I don't think g or b will have enough signal strength to handle the load. The current model of cable/dish television will pretty much be dead by then. (Everyone thought that dead tree tech would be the first to go extinct, but Rupert Murdoch is fighting tooth and claw to the horrible bitter end.) And considering that cablecos are bundling telephony, telecommunications will fit in somewhere. All it boils down to is affordability.

Doing Without a P.O. Med Nurse - HELP!!!! - page 2
I have recently returned to nursing after a 7-year absence. I've been on a busy med-surg/oncology unit for 3 and a half months now, and when I first began, it was great. Of course, I was learning (still am), but when I started,... Read More
- 0Dec 13, '00 by soundsLikesirensBtw....it isn't just me. Even the nurses who've been there ten years (especially the nurses who've been there ten years) are ******** and kvetching about the staffing, or lack thereof. They're all threatening to leave. The other night, the part-time House Supervisor stopped by and asked how "things" were going....I thought I was going to have a nervous breakdown right there as I spewed out my frustrations...allright, yes I'm being a bit dramatic but...she said she'd "pass it on" (like they don't know). I see why everyone is leaving....God I dread going back to work, because people aren't getting care and there's no way to do it, not with the patient load. Every night, practically, I have ten or eleven patients. It's physically impossible, as the other nurse said. "They" ought to have to come to the floor and do it...I'd like to see them do it. And, I like med-surg but after I can transfer, I will.
- 0Dec 13, '00 by soundsLikesirensOh, another thing: we only have 2 LPNs that work third shift, and one of them is going to second shift, because of her home situation. Lord, I don't know WHAT we'll do then. I have no idea!!!
- 0Dec 13, '00 by rncaresI have been in all areas of nursing over the last 24 years ... each carries its own frustration and joys. Solutions,presented in written form to our administration,showing the loss/profit margins of a suggestion, have been helpful in solvig our staff problems. I absolutely believe we can be better helped when we pull together and present in force those ideas... Being a nurse is who I am not what and i dont know as I could ever be anything else!!! Thanxs for allowing me to share.
- 0Dec 13, '00 by NurseLindaThe SAD thing is that nurses are putting their licenses on the line DAILY!! I've done legal reviews for 10 years before I moved to the DOT COM world, and what Nurses don't have TIME to document now can "hang" them .... I remember the frustrated feeling well....It's scary to say the least, and I don't miss it at all...
Linda/CMAS, BS, RN
- 0Dec 13, '00 by laurascI remember doing that 15 years ago when I first started nursing. It was called "primary nursing" and you were really lucky when you only had 6 or 7 patients on days and 12 to 15 on nights. We were given usually 2 or 3 primary patients that we cared for from admission to discharge and we were soley responsible for the care that was delivered. We had to write the careplans and keep them updated, involve other departments PRN (dietician, physio, etc) and plan and prepare for discharge including arranging for home care. On top of our own primaries, we were also assigned other patients for the shift. We were responsible for all the care, all the meds (po and iv), and because this was a surgical floor, we also had to deal with pre and post-op care. (It's a real joy when you have two or three patients going for bowel surgery the next day and all needed tap water enemas till clear.) On day shift we were lucky if the ward aid made the beds for us. 12 hours is simply not enough to do all that you have to do and still maintain some sort of standard of care. I survived that for just under 5 years then I burned out. (Moved to ICU for a year and now I work in a pediatrician's office.) I won't go back.
So I understand where you're coming from. For me, after a while, it stopped being nursing.

I have recently returned to nursing after a 7-year absence. I've been on a busy med-surg/oncology unit for 3 and a half months now, and when I first began, it was great. Of course, I was learning (still am), but when I started, WE HAD A PO MED NURSE. In other words, it was still manageable - it was still reasonable - still do-able. Now, we get there and have 10, 11 patients, with all their po meds, piggybacks to give...IVs to check or start...orders to take off...admissions....patients' families to deal with, with their constant questions...the call light...people wanting coffee...water...on and on and on!!!! I work 7p to 7a and although I love my job, I am starting to get stressed out because I feel like I'm not able to give proper care. Usually, I'm in report from 7pm to 730pm...then I come out and start on the 2100 meds....and usually at 2300, I have 2 patients out of 11 who haven't had their 2100 meds, not to mention charting, etc, and all the other things screaming to be done. I had an admission the other night at 7pm, as soon as I got there....I went into report...well it got to be 1030 or 1100pm and she still hadn't had her meds yet. The people "in charge" know that all the nurses are going nuts...their "philosophy" is that it's "better" for the po meds to be given by the nurse, since we know what's going on with them....(supposedly)...and that it increases the time spent in bedside nursing...this is alot of bull and I think it's a smokescreen for them just trying to cut the budget. I want to stay where I am; I love med-surg but I don't know if I will be able to. But I can stand anything for 6 months. After that I can transfer within the hospital. Or, I may stay put for a year, then go to agency nursing as they make more money. But I know I'm not staying. Our unit manager sympathizes but her hands are tied...she said they've told her we are definitely NOT getting a po med nurse back. God, it wouldn't cost them that much! We're always short-staffed....the last few nights, I haven't been able to getoff the floor to do anything. Forget about noting orders or doing any paperwork...and everytime you go into a patient's room with their medicine, you have to UNWRAP their water pitcher and get ice and water. We have 32 patients and only 2 med carts, which we are not supposed to take down the hall. If they would let us do that, and take along water, cups, etc, it would save alot of time. God I am getting to where I hate to go to work....because I know I'm going to be overwhelmed. We never have enough CNAs...alot of time, we have 2 for 32 patients and they end up splitting the floor. Which means I am constantly doing floorwork...and no, I don't think I'm too good to do it because I'm an RN. It's just that when I answer call lights and the phone all night, and fetch and carry, I cannot get MY WORK done. HELP!!!!!!!!!!
- 0Dec 19, '00 by nursejanedoughI have already vented before on this subject. Let me make this clear. I love nursing. I especially love working with the elderly. I had a horrible experience with Med/Surg floor nursing, then I went to Psych nursing. Was low stress but very strange and did not grab my heart. When my good friend talked me into working PRN at a local nursing home,(I had told myself I could never work in a nursing home!) But I tried it. One of my first patients asked for a Tylenol for a headache. She was lying there with this pile of white hair in a bun on top of her head and looked a little sad. I said, "Hey, you look like you need a hug." and I hugged her. She started crying, and said, "That is the first hug I've had in years." Well, that did it for me, I was hooked. I did go back and read her chart, she had no family left and the nursing home staff was her only "family". I love taking care of the elderly, the confused, the Alzheimer who is out there in never never land. I felt we were kindred souls somehow. (Possibly because I am getting close to never never land myself). But when I had to start choosing -either take care of my patients and not document what I am doing because they (boss) didn't want overtime. OR not take good, complete care of my patients and document what the (boss)said I needed to, of course, then you have to lie about the
good, quality care (that you really didn't have time to do.) I was raised to be honest and moral. I chose to take care of my patients (did not have time to document everything) and therefore I realized I was going to get myself in legal trouble eventually. I no longer do LTC nursing, but I am looking for answers to this worsening LTC problem.
- 0Dec 19, '00 by willielpnit warms my heart that so many understaffed situations miss the med nurse as a team member. i have been an lpn for 12 years and although i have had several opportunities to do the rn thing have decided i really enjoy my place in the team. i like passing meds/pigs and starting iv's. in down time you have the opportunity to help your rn's with their work and your cna's with their work. i believe in the team approach as it is far less confusing. total pt care is such a hassle that you can easily loose sight of pt needs and miss important issues with that pt's needs. thank you for not forgetting the lpn as a great asset and ally on your team. we are like the middle child and often get forgotton. i have many rn friends, good friends that i have worked with that have hugged me coming and going on a busy shift. too bad the people that make the schedules don't get it sometimes. thanks again for validateing our skills. rumor has it that as the shortage goes on there will be classes available for us to learn to do more and i think that would be great. don't you?
- 0Dec 19, '00 by soundsLikesirensSPLITTING THE FLOOR....Lord have mercy! Well, last night we had an LPN who was "floating" - what THAT meant was that they were LITERALLY LEAPING at the chance to have a PO med nurse again (hallejuah!)!!! I entertained the slightly idiotic thought that my night would be steady, busy, but do-able....Lordy, Lordy....come 11pm and we have 2 CNAs, splitting the floor with 32 patients......which means........that I was basically on the floor all night. I swear, that call light rang, and rang, and rang...(don't they ever sleep?????) My CNA needed help, turning patients, changing their bed, etc....there wasn't anyone else to help...I ran all night long. Back tonight, for another dose of it...what bothered me was that I had a couple of patients with TID dressing changes that didn't get done - the one - she didn't have her supplies so in-between patient care I would call for it....I didn't know what to do...whether to do it after 7am, or what (into the next shift). I asked a nurse on days who'd been there 10+ years...she said that you try to do it all but if you cannot; then you cannot - that's basically what I thought, anyway.....I hate not being able to do something like that, that should be done...but one patient had a spell of chest pain...then 2 finger sticks that were "critical high"...then another patient's 0600 FS - "critical high"....on and on...we actually had a patient who was admitted with the DX of "abdominal pain, unspecified"...hx of Alzheimer;s, nursing home resident who they suspected of having a Fx hip - admitted with NO PAIN MEDS - not so much as a TYLENOL!!!!!!! (and the doctors don't want to be called through the night????????????)...........HELLO......
- 0Dec 19, '00 by soundsLikesirensNURSEJANEDOUGH: girl you are AWESOME!!! That little old lady in the nursing home, with the bun...that's what blows me away about nursing...what a privilege to be in the positions we are in - to come into someone's life when they are so vunerable - it's such an intimate, sacred thing.

Just two days into his campaign on Kickstarter to raise money for a new movie project, Spike Lee has raised more than $130,000. The veteran director says he's looking to crowdfunding to raise money because the Hollywood system is increasingly hostile to independent films.To see other celebrity crowdfunding projects, click through.
Adam Carolla, like Spike Lee, thinks the Hollywood system isn't for him. He's taken to the Donald Trump-connected crowdfunding site, FundAnything, to try to raise $1 million to make a movie, Road Hard. He's raised $735,310 and still has 24 days left in his campaign to raise the rest.
James Franco wants to turn a book of stories about growing up in the heart of Silicon Valley into three movies. He's raised $253,723 so far, with eight days left in his effort on Indiegogo.
Brett Easton Ellis wasn't in charge of the campaign to turn his book, American Psycho, into a musical. But his presence was there throughout the effort on Kickstarter, which raised $154,929 to stage the play with music by Duncan Sheik.
Zach Braff sparked controversy over whether celebrities should be raising money on crowdfunding sites. But that didn't stop fans from kicking in $3.1 million on Kickstarter to see his movie, Wish I Was Here, made.
Amanda Palmer scored $1.2 million on Kickstarter to make her Theatre is Evil
album. Did the former member of The Dresden Dolls really need the crowd
to get an album made? Probably not. But she proved there was an
appetite for what she was selling.
Rob Thomas, the creator of Veronica Mars, had no problem
catching the attention of the crowd on Kickstarter. He raised $5.7
million to turn the television show into a movie. The movie is in production now and has released its first trailer.
Whoopi Goldberg isn't exactly a denizen of the poor house. But that
didn't stop her from heading to Kickstarter, where she raised $74,764 to
make a documentary film about comedian Moms Mabley.

My Girl Scout troop will be purchasing fleece fabric and making lap blankets for the same thing as well as for shut-ins in our church parish... I'm not sure exactly how the shut-in thing will go or exactly what we will do because this is the first time we will attempt that... and it will be with driving around and such... maybe we will have to split into 2 groups rather than all go together?

Cisco Refreshes Data Center Hardware, Software Lineup
Cisco Refreshes Data Center Hardware, Software Lineup
Cisco Systems has been making a large deal about converged data center hardware infrastructures for more than two years with its Unified Computing System, as increased functionality gets wedged into smaller components and servers and routers-and as Cisco got into the server business.
Now the world's biggest IT networking company and newbie data center systems maker is using the convergence headline to explain its 2011 data center software strategy, which becomes physical in the company's Data Center Business Advantage portfolio.
Cisco on March 30 launched a flotilla of new hardware products, including an application/networking server, several storage switches, something called a "fabric extender," management tools and a data center management appliance-data center items that refresh a good deal of Cisco's product lineup.
That's not all. Cisco also updated its data center operating system, Cisco NX-OS, to run all these new machines.
In fact, the list of new items is so long and detailed that it would be fallacious to try to describe them all here. Thus, we'll do something we don't often do here at eWEEK: refer you to the Cisco product announcement for all the details.
The most important new items are the new server, switches and the operating system.
The new Unified Computing System C260 M2 Rack-Mount Server crams even more computing, networking, storage access and virtualization resources into a single box for the rack, Data Center Product Marketing Manager Omar Sultan told eWEEK. This is the box that will run the Cisco OS and contain all the network and storage management tools, among other things.
Cisco also announced that it is now offering end-to-end "fabric-type" connectivity from server to storage with new director-class, "multihop" Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) in its larger-scale Nexus 7000 and MDS 9500 storage-area network switches. This is already available in its Nexus 5000 switch.
What Is 'Multihop'?
In the Fibre Channel world, a "hop" is what happens when data moves from switch to switch and the domain IDs change (each switch has its own IP domain). Thus, the new Cisco switches can handle many "hops" as needed to get the data from where it is to where it is supposed to go within the fabric.
idea of a data center "fabric" can be viewed in a few ways. Most IT
people see this as similar to the physical image the word presents: a pliable
yet connected structure that can sort of wrap around pools of enterprise data
to protect them as they go through the processes they need to endure.
It also can mean that parts of a data center are able to spin up and slow down as workload fluctuates to maintain the best and most economical use of energy for power and cooling.
NX-OS Features Enterprise-Level High Availability
Sultan said Cisco's NX-OS data center operating system not only runs the unified data center fabric and all its virtual machines, but it also features enterprise-level high availability. Cisco NX-OS has added support for multihop Fibre Channel over Ethernet, which enables multiple points of management to increase the scalability of unified fabric data centers.
Developing, tuning and deploying home-developed operating systems for new-generation data centers and mobile device networks may be a minitrend of sorts.
Hewlett-Packard, a fierce Cisco data center systems competitor, has said in no uncertain terms that it will be using its webOS operating system in all its upcoming PCs, servers, printers and mobile devices. A data center webOS is the next logical step.
has had a de facto data center OS with its ESX hypervisor for a few years, and
its parent company, EMC, is folding that in
to run its newest storageware. Thus, EMC
also has its own in-house data center OS.
Can It Run Nonrelated Systems?
But can this new systems management software run everything it needs to run? Data centers are famous for being nonhomogeneous.
"First and foremost, this is all open and standards-based, allowing customers the freedom to deploy the technology they want to use," Sultan told eWEEK. "We certainly have a big footprint in the data center, but we don't do everything. We think it's important that customers use the vendors [meaning storage, mostly, which is one thing Cisco does not do] that they already have established relationships with."
This statement stands in direct opposition to what others in the data center market believe: that Cisco's UCS is really a closed-loop system that is run like a dictator by the company's network-centric servers.
Since the launch of the UCS back in March 2009, Cisco's competitors, naturally, have had some interesting reactions to it.
"Would you let a plumber build your house?" Jim Ganthier, HP's vice president of Infrastructure Software and Blades, asked eWEEK at the time. "Cisco's network-centric view of the data center is great for bandwidth management, but leaves a lot to chance in terms of service-level delivery as well as data reliability and accessibility.
"The architecture does not unify management, but uses proprietary network-based management structure as the point of control. This is not 'unification'; this is a change of control," Ganthier said.

Richardson Youth Leadership (RYL) is a program for high school juniors attending a RISD high school or another non-public high school student living in Richardson or the RISD boundaries. Throughout the school year, students spend one afternoon a month at various sites in the Richardson area learning about their community. Activities are designed to develop leadership and teamwork skills. Session topics include a range of leadership, social and cultural issues including volunteerism, education, city government, business, health care, and criminal justice. Current sophomores may download the application and recommendation forms below or may also contact an RISD counselor for information and forms. The application deadline for the 2014-2015 program has been extended to April 2, 2014.
Why Richardson Youth Leadership?
RYL is a program developed by the Leadership Richardson Alumni Association (LRAA) in cooperation with RISD, which offers you an exciting opportunity to develop your leadership potential. Through participation in hands-on activities, you will enhance your awareness of the dynamics of our highly complex, rapidly changing technological and global society.
Thank you for assisting us with my son's application. As I said, we are thrilled to have another child enter the program. Claire so enjoyed many aspects of this program. We found this year to be one where she really matured and we know that this program helped broaden her horizons. When asked what she liked best, she said she most enjoyed getting to know the other kids from Richardson. Her favorite place was Santa's Village as she loved serving the kids and felt very gratified as we all do when we give of ourselves. She learned much about the city of Richardson and my husband was shocked at how little he knew of Richardson until he helped with the scavenger hunt. Thank you for your involvement, it is nice to see a program thrive that helps so many good kids
How Can I Be Selected?
Current sophomores will be selected for the program based on applications and letter of recommendation from a school staff member, an employer, or other person in the community. Participants will be chosen by a Selection Committee appointed by LRAA. Students will represent a cross-section of the RISD community. RISD students will earn 1.0 local credit on their transcripts after successful completion of the program.
Commitment Requirements
Students applying for the program must have an interest in acquiring leadership skills and be willing to make a significant time commitment. Cost for the program is $175. Scholarships are available for students who qualify. Contact your counselor for more information. The program meets once a month, commonly on the second Wednesday from 12:30-5:00 PM. There is also a mandatory Saturday, usually in August, of leadership training and team building. Students may not miss more than two sessions to complete credit and graduate from the program.
What is Leadership Richardson?
Leadership Richardson is a community leadership development program for adults, created by the Richardson Chamber of Commerce in 1985 to bring together a cadre of emerging community and business leaders encouraging each other to learn, question, dream about, and care for their community.
