W.Va. Mine Where 2 Died Listed As Pattern Violator
By VICKI SMITH
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) a¿¿ The federal Mine Safety and Health Administration on Thursday designated two West Virginia coal mines and one in Kentucky as pattern violators, meaning they've repeatedly broken federal health and safety regulations over the past year.
One is Pocahontas Coal Co.'s Affinity Mine in Raleigh County, where two men died within two weeks of each other in February. General Counsel Mark McCormick said Affinity's parent company, Tennessee-based United Coal, disputes both the label and the grounds for it.
The others mines are Brody Mining's Brody Mine No. 1 in Boone County, W.Va., and Tram Energy's Mine No. 1 in Floyd County, Ky.They're the first mines added to the list since MSHA began using revised screening criteria that went into effect in March, but MSHA director Joe Maid said others could be added. When a mine is put on the Pattern of Violations, or POV, list it is subject to a higher level of scrutiny. The designation is one of MSHA's toughest enforcement actions, reserved for operations that pose the greatest threat to workers' lives. It also puts more responsibility on the operator to identify and correct safety problems. Now, if a federal inspector writes a citation for a significant and substantial violation at any of the three mines, an order will be issued to withdraw workers and cease operations. In all, MSHA reviewed 14,600 U.S. mines during the past 12 months, identifying nine operators as potential pattern violators. Ultimately, only three made the POV list. Main said that shows the review process is working. "Many operators are cleaning up their acts, even when MSHA is not looking over their shoulders," he said. Main said Affinity was cited for 124 serious violations during the review period, one-fourth of which involved "high negligence or reckless disregard for the health and safety of miners."

Her skins look so old don't you think its been about time for them to change her like they did annie?
Senior Member
Her original skin, looks awesome. It's just her others that are a little. . lacking. They look fine in-game, but the art on them is not the greatest. Although imo, Eve should get a VU first, her art is so much worse. Them polygons. . .
Her artwork looks fine, but i think in-game she needs a visual upgrade badly
I agree Siv Need some Art Re-work she has some of the worst skins...Her original is the only good one. Bumping

The most notorious of boxes is of course the suggestion variety. And that brings us to the introduction of the new mediabistro.com suggestion box on our bulletin board. Now you may be asking yourself…
A suggestion box? Seriously?
Yes, really! We realize that when it comes to suggestion boxes, there's a fine line between useful tool and empty gesture. But this is how we see it— the forums are brimming with all sorts of great discussions regarding all the content on our site— what we're doing right, doing wrong, or not doing at all. We want to centralize those discussions so that both MB members and employees can converse with each other about mediabistro.com and help guide its future.

Telecom Italia S.p.A. (ADR) (NYSE:TI)
The Company is engaged in the communications sector and particularly in telephone and data services on fixed lines, for final retail customers and wholesale providers, in the development of fiber optic networks for wholesale customers.
I've invested in the Telecom Italia prefered (savings) shares, symbol TITR, listed on the exchange of Milan. The savings shares have no voting rights, but in exchange for this you get a minimum dividend of 5% of the nominal value of the shares (E 0.55) when the company makes enough profit, and you will always receive a dividend that is 2% of the nominal value of the shares higher than the dividend on regular shares. This means that dividend yield for this year was about 8%, and if management's statements that they want to raise dividend payout by 30% over the coming years come true, you will be looking at a yield of 10%-11%. Combine this with a P/E of around 6, P/CF of 2.5, P/B of 0.6 and you are already looking at a very attractive investment. Granted, their ROE is not very impressive (although not too bad either), but at current prices this just means there is still a lot of room for improvement; and that is exactly what the company is trying. A few weeks ago, key members of the executive board were replaced by people brought forward by the largest shareholder, Telco, which is a joint venture set up specifically to own a large stake in TI, and of which Spanish Telefonica is in turn the largest shareholder. I expect that this new board will continue to increase shareholder value by cost cutting operations in Italy, further reducing debt (which is already quite low compared to a lot of competitors) and increasing operations in emerging market South America, notably Brazil and Argentina.There is still a possibility that Telefonica will choose to increase its stake in TI, especially for the current low prices (they bought their current stake a couple of years ago when the regular share was still trading above E 2,-, and maybe buy the entire company in order to strengthen its own position in Latin America. This is far from certain of course.All in all, I believe TI shares, and especially the savings shares, are a very promising long term investment.

How does the available credit line work? It's just the Credit Line minus balance + pending charges right? My Citi card's available credit line is not reflecting the fact that I paid off my last statement balance in full (statement was on 10/10/12, balance paid in full on 10/11/12, posted to my account 10/12/12). It's been five days...my credit line is $3300, but my available credit line is only $1388.14 but my total BALANCE is only $407.88 (posted and pending charges added together), and the remaning difference, $1503.98 was exactly my last statement balance but I already paid that and my account says I paid it too so where's $1503.98 of my credit? Do I have to wait until the NEXT statement closes to get the credit reflected on my available credit line? I tried to talk to Citi but of course they just told me to call back another time...
Usually your available credit will free up when the payment posts. It sounds to me like Citi put a hold on your available credit to make sure that payment completely clears your bank, I would expect it to last around 7-10 days, if a CSR won't go ahead and remove the hold.

Zionist War Criminals Bloodlust in Israel: 'Flatten Gaza, send it back to Middle Ages, they need to die!'Submitted by legalizeliberty on Mon, 11/19/2012 - 20:07
A new wave of hatred towards Palestine is sweeping through Israel from public figures to the man on the street. This hostility is in sharp contrast to efforts in Cairo, where Arab leaders and Western diplomats are trying to hammer out a peace plan.
While Palestinian Liberation Organisation (PLO) official Nabil Sheath expressed hope Sunday night that negotiations would continue, very different noises were coming out of Israel.
Interior Minister Eli Yishai said Operation Pillar of Defense would continue and likely be expanded, a reference to the possibility that a ground offensive has already been given the go-ahead.
The war in Gaza "must be so painful and difficult that the terror groups will not think twice but a hundred times before they fire missiles against Israel again," it was reported in The Israel National News.
"Destroy and damage infrastructure, public buildings and government buildings. We must make sure that Hamas will be spending many years rebuilding Gaza, and not attacking Israel," he continued.
A few days ago he said, "The goal of the operation is to send Gaza back to the Middle Ages, only then will Israel be calm for the next 40 years."
His words were relatively mild compared to some of the comments that have been coming out of Israel in recent days.
Journalist, Gild Sharon, the son of former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, in an editorial in the Jerusalem Post on Sunday called for Gaza to be flattened like the US flattened the Japanese city of Hiroshima in 1945 with an atomic bomb.
"We need to flatten all of Gaza. The American's didn't stop with Hiroshima – the Japanese weren't surrendering fast enough – so they hit Nagasaki too. There should be no electricity in Gaza, no gasoline or moving vehicles, nothing. Then they'd really call for a ceasefire," ranted Sharon.

Should they just let the missiles fall?
Hey, i am 100% pro Ron Paul's position on this. But he speaks of Israel's right to self defense. If you people want Israel driven into the sea or exterminated just say so. Don't talk around it.
If these asses are firing missiles, it is the responsibility of the Gov't of Gaza to put a stop to it. That is clear as day.
We all need to cut the crap and lay it out. My position is, let them fight it out. I thought our position was neutrality. I'm not going to sit here and pretend that the Arab is snow white and the Jew is evil, because I personally know that that is not the case.
I fear our cause for freedom and sound money will be delayed by all the jew bashing. The entire middle eastern thing is just a big distraction to me and apparently to you all. We should simply get out, not switch sides.
Isn't it enough to be for neutrality and for the elimination of foreign aide to all parties?
Or, do we all have to jump on the Arab bandwagon, because I assure you, that is one bandwagon a lot of us are not willing to jump on.
As far as the Israel/Palestine conflict goes...honestly I don't care who blows up who. I'm just sick of hearing about how poor and defenseless Israel is (in the MSM/day to day folk). At the same time, I get annoyed when I see people on here talk about people such as Ahmadinejad as if he should be running for sainthood.
As far as Jew-bashing, how much is Jew-bashing, and how much is Zionism/Israel bashing? Don't get me wrong though, I've seen a few openly anti-Jewish posts too, I can agree that those aren't even the least bit productive.
A signature used to be here!
They already let the missiles fall
Four years ago. They blasted the crap out of Gaza. It didn't work. The Israelis need a leader more cunning and pro-active than Netanyahu before things will change for the better.
The long term security of Israel will have nothing to do with being able to take down low tech rockets. Israel does not have the capacity to launch a successful ground war outside of the Palestinian territories. Therefore, long term security for Israel will have nothing to do with military force: it can only be achieved by other means.
A shame the Knesset is blind to that fact.
No kidding
I agree, Israel has the right to defend themselves just as we have the right to defend ourselves. There are plenty of citizens in Israel that don't agree with the government's foreign policy, just as we don't agree with U.S. militarism.
Our disagreement with the establishment foreign policy doesn't mean we should blindly fight the right to self-defense.
The problem is that too many
The problem is that too many Israelis and Jews around the world really do think that they are STILL THE most oppressed group in the world. And there is I suspect a touch of supremacism here. This needs to be said. Stop being afraid of that stupid charge of "anti-Semitism."
These days things are different
I see Iraqi people the Afghani folks and the people in Pakistan as being under constant abuse.
Holocaust these days is not directed against the people with Jewish roots.

Beware: There are zionist troll around at the moment
1. Dont worry. Majority of Ron Paul supporter are not afraid to speak their mind. They are not afraid to speak the "taboo" topic which is Israel.
2. It is sad that there are still some people who have accepted Ron's view on the economy but still failed to understand his view on Foreign Policy.
3. Many times, Ron had said that the Economy and Foreign Policy goes hand in hand. You cannot solve one thing while the other thing remained.
4. One of his ideas was to bring back our troops home instead of dying and fighting for a foreign nation in Arabs land so that the money can be put on people who depended on social healthcare
Great points
Thank you.

Responding to Randy Moss' claim of being the greatest wide receiver in NFL history, legendary football player Jerry Rice rightfully questioned the "Freak's" diligence and overall production. "I think Randy Moss was the most talented. But along with being the most talented, you have to work hard — every season, every play," said Rice, 50, who was named the preeminent performer ever by the NFL Network in November 2010 after competing for 20 professional seasons with the San Francisco 49ers, Oakland Raiders and Seattle Seahawks.

Yesterday was such a crazy news day.
The deaths of Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson were hard enough to take, but then came word that actor Jeff Goldblum had plunged to his death on a movie set in New Zealand.
Internet rumors were running rampant that The Fly star had fallen off a cliff while filming his new flick, but they were soon pulled and nowhere to be found.
Reps for the actor released this statement: "Reports that Jeff Goldblum has passed away are completely untrue. He is fine and in Los Angeles."
Well, thank goodness. I don't know how much more we could really take.

MX Peacekeeper ICBM
The MX or Peacekeeper Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) was the last type of ICBM deployed by the U.S. Air Force. Several innovations made the Peacekeeper one of the most lethal nuclear weapons in history.
The use of a Kevlar epoxy composite made the Peacekeeper's airframe much lighter then previous ICBM's, allowing it to hold ten warheads. The Peacekeeper was also the only ICBM to use a cold launch technique. This meant the missile was literally blown out of the silo using steam pressure, then its first stage rocket would ignite on the surface for lift off. (This technique is also used for Submarine Launched Ballistic Missiles).
The Peacekeeper weighed 192,300 pounds, about two and a half times a Minuteman. Much of this weight could help to carry ten 300 kilton warheads to targets up to 6,800 miles ways.
Great consideration was given to a rail based deployment for the missile in early debates. Finally, 50 Peacekeepers were placed in modified Minuteman III silos across southeastern Wyoming from 1987-2005.
Note: The missile is now referred to as the Peacekeeper. While under development it was first called Missile-X or MX. This name was most commonly used by the media and during debates before its eventual deployment.

When I first saw this pic I thought it was Photoshopped it's such a wonderful concept! As someone said elsewhere this is a message for the world. Now if we can just live in such harmony that chimps can frollick in the jungle and doves can fly free with no need for sanctuaries!
Take it from the animal kingdom we can all live in peace and harmony!! Funny I thought the same Stacy P.
China actually has animal sanctuaries????
Stories like this one just brighten my day!! How incredibly sweet!! Amazing that animals can look past their differences and become so close yet we as humans are still struggling to do that!!
That's one cute pic!
This is amazing. When I went on PETA's site that I believe was to do with Animals playing. I was so touched when I looked at all of the pictures that I now have this one as my screen saver. Pictures like this tell such a story.

|Bible in Basic English (BBE)
|New International Version (NIV)
|14 And I myself am certain of you, brothers, that you are full of what is good, complete in all knowledge, able to give direction to one another.
|14 I myself am convinced, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, complete in knowledge and competent to instruct one another.
|15 But I have, in some measure, less fear in writing to you to put these things before you again, because of the grace which was given to me by God,
|15 I have written you quite boldly on some points, as if to remind you of them again, because of the grace God gave me
|16 To be a servant of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, doing the work of a priest in the good news of God, so that the offering of the Gentiles might be pleasing to God, being made holy by the Holy Spirit.
|16 to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles with the priestly duty of proclaiming the gospel of God, so that the Gentiles might become an offering acceptable to God, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
|17 So I have pride in Christ Jesus in the things which are God's.
|17 Therefore I glory in Christ Jesus in my service to God.
|18 And I will keep myself from talking of anything but those things which Christ has done by me to put the Gentiles under his rule in word and in act,
|18 I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in leading the Gentiles to obey God by what I have said and done--
|19 By signs and wonders, in the power of the Holy Spirit; so that from Jerusalem and round about as far as Illyricum I have given all the good news of Christ;
|19 by the power of signs and miracles, through the power of the Spirit. So from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ.
|20 Making it my purpose not to take the good news where Christ was named, so that my work might not be resting on that of others;
|20 It has always been my ambition to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else's foundation.
|21 But as it is said in the holy Writings, They will see, to whom the news of him had not been given, and those to whose ears it had not come will have knowledge.
|21 Rather, as it is written: "Those who were not told about him will see, and those who have not heard will understand."
|22 For which reason I was frequently kept from coming to you:
|22 This is why I have often been hindered from coming to you.
|23 But now, having no longer any place in these parts and having had for a number of years a great desire to come to you,
|23 But now that there is no more place for me to work in these regions, and since I have been longing for many years to see you,
|24 Whenever I go to Spain (for it is my hope to see you on my way, and to be sent on there by you, if first I may in some measure have been comforted by your company)--
|24 I plan to do so when I go to Spain. I hope to visit you while passing through and to have you assist me on my journey there, after I have enjoyed your company for a while.
|25 But now I go to Jerusalem, taking help for the saints.
|25 Now, however, I am on my way to Jerusalem in the service of the saints there.
|26 For it has been the good pleasure of those of Macedonia and Achaia to send a certain amount of money for the poor among the saints at Jerusalem.
|26 For Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem.
|27 Yes, it has been their good pleasure; and they are in their debt. For if the Gentiles have had a part in the things of the Spirit which were theirs, it is right for them, in the same way, to give them help in the things of the flesh.
|27 They were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in the Jews' spiritual blessings, they owe it to the Jews to share with them their material blessings.
|28 So when I have done this, and have given them this fruit of love, I will go on by you into Spain.
|28 So after I have completed this task and have made sure that they have received this fruit, I will go to Spain and visit you on the way.
|29 And I am certain that when I come, I will be full of the blessing of Christ.
|29 I know that when I come to you, I will come in the full measure of the blessing of Christ.
|30 Now I make request to you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the Spirit, that you will be working together with me in your prayers to God for me;
|30 I urge you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me.
|31 So that I may be kept safe from those in Judaea who have not put themselves under the rule of God, and that the help which I am taking for Jerusalem may be pleasing to the saints;
|31 Pray that I may be rescued from the unbelievers in Judea and that my service in Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints there,
|32 So that I may come to you in joy by the good pleasure of God, and have rest with you.
|32 so that by God's will I may come to you with joy and together with you be refreshed.
|33 Now may the God of peace be with you all. So be it.
|33 The God of peace be with you all. Amen.

Natural breasts, nature and disasters, health, and sex are all part of life. First, the natural breast aspect: In another hour or two, I'll be shooting another sex scene for my "Knee Pad Nymphos" series with Lexi Bardot; she called an hour ago from Los Angeles to confirm that she's already on the road and will be arriving at my condo here in San Diego in approximately another hour; she has the nicest natural breasts, and just typing this on my keyboard is exciting me; now, I also like enhanced breasts on women, but the natural ones are what they were born with when they started out life.
Lexi and I "worked with" each other in a sex scene two weeks ago, and it was hot! Her boobs are gorgeous, sexually arousing to touch and lick (especially when she's riding me in the cow girl position, like she did in our last shoot), and nice to slide a cock between! Lexi is a 5'10" natural beauty with an enthusiastic zest for being on her knees with a penis in her mouth. In the scene we did recently, she played a nurse who was stopping by to clean and change the bandage from some recent basal cell skin cancer that was surgically removed from the side of my nose. Yes, she was pressing those gorgeous breasts against my chest, and then checked my blood pressure by putting her stethoscope on my penis (note that I'm using the term "penis", instead of the word "cock" - as I've aged, I've tried to add a little "class" to my vocabulary). Long story short, we caught it all on film for later release, and I can't wait for the doorbell to ring so I can let "Nurse" Lexi in for some more sex fun. I think I'll have her play a nurse again, this time to check the stitches I've got from being hit by some flying glass three days ago; more about that later.
Between hurricanes, wild fires, earthquakes, and other natural disasters, it seems like nature has garnered a lot of news coverage lately. One of nature's happenings of late was the Chatsworth wild fire, which began in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles and burned 21,000 acres just west of the porn capital of the world.
For me, the day of that scary wild fire began just as routinely as all the shoots I participate in for Wildlife Production's "Screw My Wife, Please" acclaimed series, this one being Volume 51. After driving up the curvy one-lane dirt road to the shoot location high up on a hill overlooking beautiful country and city scenery, I met with Director Bobby Rinaldi, stopped by the make-up room to meet the folks scheduled to be in the first sex scene, had a fabulous breakfast, did paperwork, and participated in the "Intro" that Bobby and I always do for the series.
Everything was so wonderfully normal, organized, and fun, including the head I got from one of the wives during the BTS (Behind the Scenes) filming; but, because the wind was blowing quite hard, we joked on film that the first wife sucking my penis was "blowing in the wind"! During the second scene, we heard helicopters flying noisily overhead, and one of the Wildlife Productions crew members alerted us that there was a lot of smoke just north of us and that the helicopters were grabbing water from the large pond down the hill from us and dropping it over the hill onto a fire; after the "money shot" for that scene, we broke for lunch and watched the firefighting effort which now numbered four choppers constantly flying just 100 feet overhead grabbing water, dumping it on the fire, and hurriedly returning for more water.
Director Bobby Rinaldi adroitly shepherded us through the next scene while also making arrangements with cast members for the remaining scenes to meet us at another location in case we had to leave the present location. As anticipated by Director Rinaldi, police were no longer letting non-residents up to our shooting location, so cast members for scenes four and five couldn't get to our present location. Ironically, we watched the live coverage of the fire on television as it showed the helicopters constantly flying over our location. We incorporated the firefighting into the BTS filming, quickly but safely completed the third sex scene, and headed to our cars to get out of there; in our parking lot were two fire trucks preparing to provide "structure protection", if needed.
We caravanned down the hill, while motorcycle cops were coming up it to advise that the situation had become a mandatory evacuation matter. Glancing to the north while driving down the hill, we could see the flames just 400-500 yards north of our location. Certainly, as always, this "Screw My Wife, Please" will be Smoking Hot! After arriving at the re-location studio and getting set up for filming more wives getting sexually screwed, the television coverage reported a shift in winds, thus the house we had left apparently was not destroyed. We finished filming scenes four and five by 10 Pm, and I drove back to San Diego while listening to live radio coverage of the fire, one that would take another few days to get under control. The fire firefighting teams did a great job at minimizing the damage of this act of nature.
Health-wise, as I mentioned above, the basal cell skin cancer on the side of my nose has been surgically and successfully removed. This reminds me to urge everyone to be ever mindful of the need to use sun block. The force of nature, even the Sun, can be destructive at times. It's part of life on Earth.
A few days ago during a freak accident-in-the-home, some glass shattered and hit me causing a mini-gusher of blood to shoot out my forearm. It seemed like a dream, and I was hoping to hurriedly awaken from it, but... .! I quickly wrapped a large (then) white washcloth around it, twisted the cloth tightly to slow down the spurting blood, and drove to the VA Hospital five blocks away. Driving while trying to keep my arm up and held tightly was not easy. A federal cop near the Emergency Room entrance saw the (now) bright red blood-soaked washcloth and acted like a fullback blocking for a halfback in getting me into a room where a nurse got the bleeding stopped. A physician subsequently injected some painkillers and then put six stitches in my arm. On the way home, it dawned on me that changing the forearm bandage could be yet another "nurse-type" set-up for the scene with Lexi.
Flash! I hurriedly wrote the last paragraph just as Lexi Bardot was ringing my doorbell. All I can say is---Wow! Lexi is great to "work with". Since I use a system of mirrors in some of my shoots, I noticed in one of the mirrors that she was playing with her vagina (see, I used a classy term, instead of calling it her pussy), and was able to film it while she was sucking my cock -oops, I should have said penis! Yup, sex is natural, just like Lexi's boobs!
In closing this month's column, let me thank all the fine folks who work so hard to help those adversely affected by nature; America has a lot of heroes who assist in dealing with nature's earthquakes, wildfires, hurricanes, etc. Let's also acknowledge you for your monetary generosity to those victims of nature's tantrums, and for your thoughts and prayers on their behalf. Now, let's all be nice to others, not just because it's the American way, but because it's the right thing to ALWAYS do!

Prevalence of Christians in the field of nursing - page 3
I will be making a career change, from the banking industry to nursing. Thought about it over the past year. In my industry, Christians are far and few between. I suppose much of this has to do with the main focus being,... Read More
- 0Mar 10, '13 by samadams8Dear OP,
This is a secular website, so, I am wondering what kinds of answers you thought you were going to get? To answer your question...it runs in line with the general population. As I am sure you know by now, the term, Christianity, has taken on this whole, wild, life of its own. We have been a post-Christian era for some time, so seriously, hang on; the ride will be bumpy. But don't lose heart.
- 4Mar 10, '13 by KatieerinI do not conversate about my religious beliefs to most people and will not here either. I feel religion should be between them and their deity or priest. I don't feel it should be paraded and questioned for others to judge. I rather not know my coworkers faith and if a patient asks i would get them support. Its not my place. My religion as a nurse will be medicinal with freedom for anyone to worship the way they wish without judgement. If a patient prefers to do a spell for paganism, if they prefer to meditate, if they prefer to pray, that is their business as well as my coworkers have the same right. I rather have knitting in common or love of crafts or baking.
- 0Mar 10, '13 by FSUNurse2bWow...lol. Okay, I am very quiet about my Christian faith as I stated before. Some folks are more outspoken and some not so much. I tend to fall into the latter camp. But that's just me. I don't understand all the comments getting off topic. I was simply just asking about the prevalence of Christians within the field of nursing. I apologize if this question frustrated anyone. I truly did not mean for this to happen. Over the past few years I have been struggling within my current profession. I have sought out other avenues and for some reason, keep coming back to nursing. I'm sure much of that has to do with my sisters both being nurses as well as my wife. My wife is a devout Christian, but she does not bring it into the workplace, but rather focuses first and foremost on her patients. She knows this. I know this. Sometimes reading between the lines can cause frustration and confusion. For anyone that I have offended by posting this question, I truly apologize.
Both my sisters and wife have been an inspiration to me in wanting to pursue a career into nursing. I believe that I am not going down this path for all the wrong reasons. Okay, maybe some, but the main motivating force behind my decision is the desire to care for people in their time of need.
Again, I am sorry I was not more clear with my original question.Last edit by FSUNurse2b on Mar 10, '13
- 1Mar 10, '13 by Wrench PartyI also live in the Bible Belt and the majority of nurses and students I've run across are Christian. We also have Muslim, Buddhist and Hindu nurses, so it makes for pretty interesting religious diversity. The only religious-based question I've seen asked lately was
directed at a Christian nurse who wears a skirt instead of scrub pants as part of her faith. The questioner was young and merely curious.
- 0Mar 10, '13 by Texan56Pets to People,
I think the poster may be thinking just in terms of Western civilization. We have Jesus' story of the Good Samaritan. There were monks that ran hostels in Europe during the middle ages. Think of the Saint Bernard rescue dogs. :-) Missionaries over the years have made it their business to give medical aid, open hospitals etc. Then there is the Red "Cross".
Obviously these things have gone on all over the world, forever. And I thank God! The human spirit is amazing...but I hope you and others won't be offended by people who think in these terms. I personally am not exclusive...but history does inspire me!
- 2Mar 10, '13 by mclennanQuote from Pets to PeopleI totally agree. Read up on our old friend Florence Nightingale. She ARDENTLY rejected the church, and marriage, and studied Buddhism.
Why do Christians always think everything started with them? The arrogance and/or ignorance is astounding. "The nursing profession" does not have its roots in Judaeo-Christian traditions butterfly, "nursing" or people who have acted as "nurses" has been around in every culture, every tribe and every corner of the globe since the beginning of time. Believe it or not, life did go on before the time of Christian religion.
OP, be aware of being that cliche around here.....the typical "I post something, the responses were not what I wanted to hear, so I get defensive." I see no evidence that you actually read, thought about and reflected upon what the responses might mean. It's much more Christian to create reflective dialogue, accept and consider all points of view, isn't it?
- 0Mar 10, '13 by Texan56I too made a career change, back into nursing, not long ago. And yes, I do meet lots of Christians. I like the ones who are compelled to be honest, who do their best every day, who encourage me when I am grieved or overwhelmed, and who pray for me as I do this tough job. They are not all that supportive, that genuine. And non believers have been some of my best coworkers.
But yes, there are Christians in nursing. Welcome aboard.
- 1Mar 10, '13 by SuzieFFSUNS2b,
TNbutterfly was right on in her posts. I concur 100%.
It would be interesting to do a study (if not already done) on the prevalence of Christians in nursing as compared to the general population. However, are we talking about those who consider themselves part of the Christian "tradition" or the evangelical Christians? We would also probably want to know to what degree the nurses faith guides/inspires his or her practice. The JCN or another may have already published something on this. But, I am interested in teaming with someone to research it, if not.
I also believe it would be interesting to study the percentages of Christian missions (hospitals, rehabs, food banks, etc.) nationally and internationally as compared non-christian.
These are just my thoughts.
I believe you are wise (and brave!) for taking part in these discussions and asking tough questions before you even begin. It seems to me that you have the makings of a great nurse. But, expect folks to get their feathers ruffled when you start talking about faith-Christianity in particular.
Best wishes,
- 2Mar 10, '13 by heronDear OP,
As you can see, many buttons are being pushed in this discussion ... there's no one right answer, really, to what I think you were asking.
As I understand your post, your question is about finding a Christian community at your workplace.
Yet, there are a whole lot of NotChristians around and we sometimes get the hair on the backs of our necks standing up when questions about religion in the workplace come up.
I think one thing to remember is that a nursing workplace is a worklplace ... we mostly have little choice about where and under what conditions we are working. We are all under an obligation to show up for work if we want to pay our bills this week. This makes us a fairly captive audience and having one's buttons pushed unnecessarily is a waste of time and energy that few of us can afford.
So ... my recommendation is to keep overtly religious conversations in the breakroom, the cafeteria, the parking lot or the chapel. That way, those of us who don't want to hear it have the option of either listening with respect or leaving the area.
Places to avoid such conversation would be the nurses' station, the med room ... any space that has anything to do with patient care.
As a born-baptised-confirmed Christian-turned-something-else, I have a few ideas for you to consider.
One thing that occurs to me is starting your search in church rather than on the job ... that part comes later. There's usually some social stuff going on you could check out ... you might even meet someone from your own unit/facility/school. Announce in the church newletter that you're starting a study/support group for nurses in the congregation and see who turns up.
You need to consider whether your religious practice colors your perceptions of your NotChristian co-workers, especially atheists, Jews, Muslims and Pagans. We need to have each others' backs and not be constantly looking at our own for the knife.
If witnessing is important to you, then my challenge to you is to witness by the way you treat your co-workers and patients. Let your values show in how you deal with the challenges of your job. I think the key concept is that "Those that can, do. Those that can't, talk about it". Maybe the best way to attract other Christians is to be a Christian.
I hope this helps.
- 1Mar 10, '13 by FSUNurse2bSuzieF,
Thank you very much! Very good points. I appreciate your encouragement! It seems that reading through all the thicket of these comments, that Christians are prevalent within the nursing workforce. But I'm sure a more detailed professional study may bring more accurate results....lol.
Thanks again!!!

Nvm then lol, I have a surplus of young talent and picks I could offer if you change your mind.
Still looking to move Ratliff, Robinson, Shareef, picks and points.
Let me know if you have something in mind.
If anyone wants to put their team over the edge, Webber can be had. #1 scorer in regular season 2001 #2 scorer this year. Must include 03 1st, young star(s), and/or expirings. He instantly makes you a playoff team or would turn any playoff team into a contender.
I have Finley up for offers. Looking for a shooter to replace him.
Everyone outside of Vince on the block, including Gary Payton and Vin Baker.
packaging Ratliff with 2002 Sonics first for a good 2002 or 2003 first.
Will listen to Ray Allen offers
Willing to move any of my player/picks for the right offer.
When will FA start???
We still got resignings, draft lottery and draft. FA was the last thing we did before training camp last season. I'm pretty sure at least
Ok, when do resignings start?
After the Wizards championship parade
All picks and players besides Camby up for grabs.
can we do sign and trades?
Okay, now that that's over...
It's my favorite part of the sim once again. The part where all the losers rejoice and are allowed to be optimistic, yay!
Resignings will start when I have the time to type out the entire list lol
lol I don't either
Agreed, I'm usually off during the days on MWF, so besides school work, if you need help and there's something I can do I'd be glad to.

Since his election in 2000 on a promise to reform Mexico's corrupt government and sluggish economy, Vicente Fox has learned much about the art of the possible. Stymied by congressional opposition and an electoral setback, Fox has just three years to win some positive incremental changes.
He's in Arizona today looking for some help on border and trade issues, and he'll probably get some from Gov. Janet Napolitano. A more realistic U.S. immigration policy and more robust trade would help both countries, even though fundamental reform in Mexico remains elusive.
A guest-worker program that accommodates this country's insatiable demand for entry-level workers and Mexico's oversupply of such workers would be a good start. Napolitano supports it, as do several members of Arizona's congressional delegation who are sponsoring legislation to create a guest-worker program.
Freer trade is also a plus for both sides of the border. Arizona businesses and industries export about $3 billion worth of goods to Mexico each year. The Mexican market is responsible for employing thousands of Arizonans, and the more that market expands, the better for our state's economy.
There's no denying the interconnectedness of the Arizona and Mexican economies, and there's no point disparaging it. Although the flood of illegal immigrants across our common border is unnerving in terms of national security and disruptive in terms of providing essential public services, our best hope is to control it rather than stop it. A guest-worker program, together with tougher border enforcement, would be a realistic step toward just such control.
Fox's groundbreaking visit to Arizona today — it's the first time a sitting Mexican president has paid an official visit to Arizona — is among several to other border states and Washington, where he's expected to push immigration-reform legislation. Presumably, Fox will remind President Bush of then-candidate Bush's support in 2000 for a guest-worker program.
What would not be helpful at this point is to lecture Fox about Mexico's political and economic woes. He's given every indication since he ran as a reform candidate of that he understands those dysfunctions. His ability to change things being limited by resistance from within, he's looking for, and deserves to get, some cooperation from the United States for incremental changes that can foster improvements in Mexico.
Immigration reform and freer trade would have positive economic effects on both sides of the border. And in the long run, a rising middle class in Mexico would do more to force institutional change there than a string of reform-minded presidents. It also would relieve immigration pressures.
At bottom, it is in Arizona's and America's interests to help Vicente Fox achieve whatever is left of his tattered agenda that is still realistically within reach.

If SD and whomever likes like their draft that's fine with me. They filled some needs with good players like Teo and Keenan Allen, but DJ Fluker isn't an NFL LT from all I'm hearing. So they spent #11 on an RT, albeit a good run blocker. But they're in a Div with Von Miller and Justin Houston coming at that RT. Maybe Fluker will be good at LT, only time will tell.
Oakland helped themselves with little ammo, DJ Hayden got a lot of love pre-draft, Menelik Watson could turn out to be a pretty good player with some experience. Sio Moore got a lot of love predraft, same with Tyler Wilson.
KC, well, it doesn't look real good on paper. Fisher is a lateral move, but cheaper and younger than Branden Albert. Their second pick is a TE, and they did need another TE. Knile Davis is a little iffy from what I'm hearing, Sanders Commings is an adequate guy I guess. They had a decent roster to begin with though, certainly much better than their 2-14 season reflected. It all depends on a new coaching staff and Alex Smith. And if Jon Baldwin can finally produce. They grabbed that Donnie Avery guy in FA, they better hope he pans out better than Andre Caldwell did for Denver, and again Baldwin.
Denver obviously added one key guy with Sly, and a solid chain-mover with Montee Ball to shore up a kind of iffy RB rotation, a CB as their 3rd pick that is more of a future guy than an immediate impact guy, but he's a kick returner also and that always helps to have a versatile guy like that in round 3. A WR in King that looks to be fairly polished, will contribute immediately as an ST gunner and possible returner to replace Matt Willis. Apparently King isn't afraid to go into the middle of the field, should be a versatile guy if needed. Kind of a future pick also as a 5th rounder. Quanterus, who knows? Good risk/reward player with a 5th rounder. Dysert is good value in the 7th round, they needed a 3rd QB to replace Hanie and really, can he possibly be any worse? Cheap 3rd QB. Painter can possibly be an upgrade at OT, has the measureables. What the hell, a 6th rounder.

Another View: At last, rail is being put back on track in New Hampshire
But this resuscitated study alone won't determine rail's fate in New Hampshire. To prevent another political derailment in the future, we must think ahead:
--Judge rail based on overall economic development, not ridership alone. Earlier this month, an executive from the largest private employer in Concord and another from the fastest-growing startup in Manchester each pled the case for rail to me - separately - using almost the same words, hours apart: "Help us grow, bring new workers to the area and reduce barriers between us and Boston so New Hampshire's advantages shine even brighter," each said.
They both want rail because of its overall economic impact and they recognize that rail boosts their own (and the state's) economic growth. This is the prize - and it is far larger than the economic bump from rail line construction jobs or the loss from covering operating costs.
--Secure a long-term, bipartisan vision, not stop-and-go development. When one party alone controlled the fate of rail in Concord last year, the project stalled (and by the way, that opposition cost some lawmakers their seats). Now, rail is back on track because Democrats and Republicans are working together to re-start this study. If the past decade is a guide, the Republican and Democratic parties will each have their day in the sun in our state before this project is done - so we need to embrace this as a practical issue, not a partisan one. We're in this together.
--Benefit the whole state, not just one community. The strongest case for rail - both economically and politically - is one that benefits as many New Hampshire residents as possible. Bridging Boston with Nashua's businesses, Merrimack's outlets, Manchester's airport and Concord's connections to the lakes and North Country would fill the hole left by today's existing rail lines along our state's Eastern and Western borders. Ideologically driven opponents of rail want to stake one region of the state against another, but what's best for New Hampshire is a transit plan that benefits all of us.
--Consider our transportation infrastructure as a whole, not just a stand-alone project. Rail must succeed as part of a well-planned transportation web that connects Manchester-Boston Regional Airport, an expanded I-93 and a rapidly-growing bus network across the state. Less traffic, more mobility and more commerce with our neighbors to the south creates a strong foundation for economic growth in New Hampshire. Both our bus lines and the Downeaster rail line in the Seacoast are setting records and stand to gain from the amplification rail provides.
There's no question that the promise of rail for New Hampshire is huge: attracting new workers for growing New Hampshire businesses; delivering tourists, shoppers and business visitors to our state; lessening traffic on I-93; easing commutes; and amplifying the growth of new Granite State bus routes and the Manchester-Boston Regional airport.
There are also significant costs to building and operating rail, and the coming study should shed some light on the costs of transit options in the Capitol Corridor. Once that study is completed, we must take an objective and comprehensive look at how those costs stack up against the tremendous economic benefits of rail.
This year won't produce a final decision on rail, but it will lay the foundation for whether that ultimate decision is made the right way. If we focus on economic development; if we set aside partisanship, if we focus on New Hampshire as a whole; and if we take a holistic look at our transportation systems; we'll stay back on track this time.

Word On The Street: New Yorkers React To J. Lo's Booty
Posted Aug 15, 2014 at 02:25 PM
This week's Word On The Street finds New Yorkers responding to Jennifer Lopez's booty.
We all saw the epic responses and reactions that resulted from Nicki Minaj's bootyful "Anaconda" single artwork, but how 'bout J. Lo's? The singer unveiled her own healthy dose of booty on the new single artwork for "Booty" featuring Pitbull this past week, and while it didn't quite shake up the internet like Ms. Nicki, it still got people doing a double take.
We hit the streets of New York for the latest segment of "Word On The Street", and, as per usual, got some hiiii-larious reactions from random people. We even got some declarations of love for Jenny from the Block.
Watch it go down above.

6 Businesses Run by Couples
NEW YORK ( MainStreet) -- How do couples manage to work side by side and shift into family mode at the end of the workday? We talked to six couples who admit its difficult but find a way to do it anyway.
They say it's important is to make sure each partner is upfront about their strengths -- and weaknesses -- ambition levels and comfort with money before going into business together. And, as one business owner put it, there is little place for giant egos when working with your spouse.
Not every couple is able to work together, but here are the couples we found who are doing it right:

Have I recommended Androminion before?
For anyone who likes Dominion, it worth getting. It's not perfect as it doesn't show you what effects each action card has before you buy them. But for a free game it's still jolly decent.
It has all expansions included.

Hmm best place to ask I could find.
Android Battery Usage screen. Are the apps shown there currently draining the battery or is it a history of apps that have drained the battery?
Ridiculous Fishing (as good as it is) absolutely rapes the battery on my S3.
|Currently I think. Or since last charge, that's what I read it as.
|Game Dev Story is Amazon's free app of the day.
|My fave ever Android/ios game, Radiant Defense, just got updated with four new levels. It's free to play or about �3 with all the tower packs. Brilliant aesthetic and soundtrack.
|Google appear to have a different definition of amazing to me.
|Liking Cover
|@Flying_Pig Cover is great - but spent 5 hours in the car yesterday, with zero mobile use - got to my destination and checked my battery usage after a few Play Store reviews had questioned the battery drain Cover creates, and 11% of battery drain was due to Cover!! - hadn't even looked at my phone in those 5 hours. Until that's sorted, its un-installed. N5 running 4.4.2

@LockeTribal They are hard to distinguish from one another. I wouldn't bother. Think of Zenonia, Zenonia 2 and Zenonia 3, and now try to think of differences between them.
BINGO I might be biased though as I've grown to hate these cookie-cutter mobile phone JRPGs.. or KRPGS.

The new game from Half Brick ( Fruit Ninja and Jetpack Joyride ) is out for Android ( and IOS - if you are that way inclined ) called Colossatron about a giant snake like robot that has come to destroy the world. You are that evil world destroying robot!
I really love it, but I'll admit I'm not sure exactly why. I ran down my battery twice playing this and I never do that with mobile games. If you want to give it a try it's only �0.59p there are you tube videos after the link to have a look at what it's like.
Really enjoying Shadowrun Returns. Is there anything else similar? Same mechanics different setting, maybe a Fallout type game?
Not that I don't like the Cyberpunk setting. More of the same will do.

I'm sorry, I should have posted this yesterday, but for the rest of today there are some... errr... "JSRPG"s on sale - Spectral Souls, Blazing Souls et al. Most are completely ignorable, as they're direct PSP ports with onscreen D-pad / buttons, so you may as well just buy a PSP emulator.
However, they've got the full, complete Record of Agarest War, updated with touchscreen controls, for a fiver for the next 24 hours or so. I imagine it could be quite good on a tablet with touchscreen. It's the same price as on Steam, and it's the whole 100+ hour game. Actually, that's what has made me NOT buy it in the end - 100 hours?! Still, someone may be interested.
I'll probably be picking up Chaos Rings 2 later this week - just want to get a bit further into 1 to make sure I want more. (Apparently the stories are independent and 2 is better, so dive right in if you want it!)
Android Police have quite a good list of ongoing deals on Android. I picked up EPOCH and N.O.V.A. 3. I also highly recommend both Kingdom Rush and Kingdom Rush Frontiers (the former was in a recent Humble Bundle, I think).

Ormat Technologies' CEO Discusses Q4 2011 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
We made operational improvements and enhancements in several plans, and we are continuing to move forward with our activities related to our organic growth.
Let me turn the call over to Joseph for a review of the financial. Yoram will review our operations and following my remarks, we will open the call up for Q&A. Joseph, please.
Joseph Tenne
Thank you, Dita and good morning, everyone.Beginning in Slide 5, total revenues for the full year 2011 were $437 million, a 17.1% increase over revenues of $373.2 million in 2010. Total cost of revenue increased by 8.3% compared to last year. In our electricity segment on Slide 6, revenues for the full year were $323.8 million, an 11% increase over revenues of $291.8 million in 2010. The increase in electricity revenue is due to higher variable energy rate of our Amatitlan and Puna PPA, and increased in electricity generation of some of our parks. In the product segment on the next slide, revenues for the full year were $113.2 million, an increase of 39% over revenues of $81.4 million in 2010. The increase in product revenues reflects the new customer orders that were secured in the first half of 2011. Moving to Slide 8. The company's combined gross margins for the full year was 26.8% versus 20.8% in 2010. The electricity segment gross margin was 24.6% for the full year versus just 17% in 2010. Excluding North Brawley, the electricity gross margin would have been 34.4% compared to 26.8% in 2010. In the product segment, gross margin for the full year was 32.8% versus 34.6% last year. The decrease is due to the mix of products sold and margins associated with our customer orders. Operating income for the full year 2011 increased 172% from $23.6 million in 2010 to $64 million this year. Read the rest of this transcript for free on seekingalpha.com

Lindsay Lohan is reverting back to her old roots -- her red hair, that is!
On Thursday, the embattled actress made yet another step towards her career comeback when she was seen leaving a Beverly Hills salon with freshly-dyed locks. LiLo, who has been a platinum blonde for the past year and a half, went back to her natural color as she stepped out rocking a coppery 'do.
