|So I think my dad is going crazy. Seriously he is acting insane. My grandfather passed a while back and he had quite a bit of money. He left a little to me and my siblings and the rest to my stepgrandma. He was married to my stepgrandma for close to 20 years. She was not some homewrecker or golddigger. In my opinion my grandfather could do with his money what he wished. My dad and his siblings are not entitled to my grandfathers money.
Anyways my dad has been complaining for years about how he should have gotton a chunk of my grandfathers money when he passed. He has said horrible things about my stepgrandma. I am close to him and my stepgrandma and try to stay out of it. Last summer my stepgrandma took me and my siblings and our families on vacation. This summer she is taking us on another vacation and including my dad and stepmom. My stepgrandma is overly generous to our family and I am grateful, but all my dad can do is complain that he should get more more more. It really makes me sick.
Well my stepgrandma made a comment in conversation to my stepmom not too long ago that when she dies she will be leaving whatever is left of her and my grandfathers estate to me and my siblings. My stepmom mentioned it to my dad.
So my dad called me today to tell me that if that happens he would expect me and my siblings to give him a chunk of our inheritance!!!
Seriously! I told him I did not want to talk about such things because I thought it was so wrong to discuss. He kept on. So I told him NO, I would not give him a chunk. My grandfather gave my dad a crazy amount of money while he was alive between buying him a house and cars and paying off debts my dad got himself into. I said that whatever money me and my siblings get is for us to enjoy.
Honestly my dad is awful with money. It burns a hole in his pocket and he blows through it. So why would I just hand it over for him to blow? No really if he needed help I would help him with a bill or something, but not just give him money to blow.
And more to the point he has always been cheap with me. When I moved in with him in high school I had a job. He made me pay my high school registration fees, yearbook fees, clothes, school lunches, etc. all out of my pocket. He gave me no money for prom. He gave me no money for college. Even now as an adult he came to my wedding and gave me no money. My stepmom was talking about my baby shower recently and how she would like to go in on it with my sister and friend and he said he is not putting in any money. When he has babysat my kids he always makes sure I provide dinner because god forbid he is stuck treating his grandkids to pizza or something!
So after he got crappy with me over the money issue I pointed these things out to him and asked why, after how cheap he always is with me, would I give him money?
What gets me is that he is in AA and treats his buddies to dinner and things all the time. He has no problem driving all over the place to run his AA buddies around and paying for the gas to do so. He has no problem giving one of my sisters money to pay her bills because she always blows her money. He gave my sister money to plan her wedding. He gave her money to help with her babyshower. Its just me that he doesn't do anything for and then he complains that I wouldn't just throw him money someday??
So he really hung up on me today and told my stepmom he is mad at me!!! The whole situation is just insane!! And I am so mad about it!
Follow-Up Postings:
|I would not worry about it. He's not really going insane, just seems to be seriously pouting that he did not receive more and is not in control over what his father did nor what his stepmother plans to do.
Sounds like Grandpa figured up son had gotten through the years all son was going to get. Wise of Grandpa to have a will and clearly laid out the divisions. I'm not one to believe our parents 'owe' us as their children to leave us all their assests and life savings. Sure, they can't take the money with them but what they actually do with it is their decision. Sometimes this does cause remaining heirs to become resentful and angry....'I should get this/that', 'why did so and so even get included', 'whine whine, blah blah'...but bottom line is it is the deceased person's last will and testiment and the deceased gets to do however he pleases. Grandpa could have left every spare nickle not going to Grandma to charity and/or desired a match to be put to a big pile.
I think a lot of times parents 'help' their children all their children's adult lifes and come 'settlement' time the parent has decided that kiddo has received all their share already. It's a personal decision and Grandpa made it. To whine to you that Grandpa and now Grandma chooses to give others some is not 'crazy' in his line of thinking...but it is unrealistic of him to think he has a right to complain or that he should be entitled to the money.
I'd refuse to discuss it with him. Afterall Grandma is still very much alive and of course you hope Grandma has many more years to live and you intend to enjoy and treasure the years you have left with the woman... even if Grandma announced today YOU either will not receive a dime in the end. He can pout all he wants. In the end Grandma might decide to leave all that's left to a charity for animals....what's he going to do then? Call up the charity and demand they give him a chunk?
I have a hunch Grandma desires to leave some to you grandkids because your father has indeed been helped all his life, will blow it and she feels the money is better 'spent' now helping the next generation get off to a better start. I would not dwell on it, plan on it nor agrue about it. Grandma is a grown up, she gets to do as she pleases (unless their were strict guidelines in Grandpa's will that become effective on Grandma's death).

|sorry your dad is acting like this. don't argue with him, just keep repeating whatever grandma wants to do with money is her business and it is her will an refuse to discuss it. don't even tell him if you plan on sharing money with him.
|Dad's not crazy -- Just selfish, immature and entitled.
And clearly, YOU are not crazy. You've accurately assessed the situation (as did Grandpa and Grandma) and should not allow yourself to be guilted into throwing money into Dad's pocket-hole.
For people who cannot manage money, having more money to waste is not the answer.
I like Po1's advice to evade, hedge and tap-dance as long as possible.
|Ah I'm sorry you are in that position!
My aunt and uncle are like vultures around my aging grandmother who lives with my mom. They can't wait to see what her will says... If they only knew that they arent getting a dime, she may be able to enjoy the last however many years she has left in peace. People are ridiculous when it comes to money. No one is entitled to their parents fortune, although a lot people feel they are...

|I just hate how my dad is being. It is ridiculous that he is bringing this stuff up and that he is mad at me!
And that is funny about him going to a charity and asking for a chunk of money if my stepgrandma decided to give all her money to a charity! The really funny things is that every year my grandpa and stepgrandma always gave the grandkids a little bit of money. Well after my grandpa passed my stepgrandma kept up the tradition. Except this year one of my sisters was really being a loser. Had a child she is not really taking care of, quit her job, and is partying all the time. So my stepgrandma made a donation to a local charity in the amount she would have given my sister and then told my sister the money was going to people who could really use it....not lazy people like her! LOL

Mob Home Park Cap Rates
Appraising a MH park with 12 spaces... 5 are leased, and typically no more than 6 or 7 have ever been occupied at once. Out of the city limits.
In the Income Approach, I am trying to take into consideration the abnormally high vacancy rate at the same time, trying to rationalize how to arrive at a cap rate when the last MH Park that I found sold that wasn't sold by a bank or by a bankruptcy trustee was sold to convert to a bank building...in other words, would you eschew the direct capitalization and attempt a sort of generic yield capitalization method???
I would lean to a simple GIM but again...I gotta go back 5 years to find a sale with useful data.

Here is a link to some general cap data for mobile home parks in Florida. I recently appraised a very small and old mobile home park. It didn't have high vacancy but had very old mobile homes resulting in a very high reserve for replacement.
If the vacancy is high, perhaps the mobile home park is just an interim use. Though it may not be the actual HBU of the land, there probably isn't a lot of demand for redevelopment - especially for a property that actually is producing some income. You may want to consider estimating an interim value to add to the value of the underlying land. You can do this utilizing a simple DCF based on the actual rental rates and vacancy. However, similar to the cap rate....what is the holding period? Could be 3, 5 or even 10 years...
good luck!
If it doesn't make sense...rebel and find out why!!!!
Good reply - yes, I did use a published source and gave little weight to the income approach. It was a simple land tract but is "off the beaten path" and unlikely to convert to anything else for a while..but certainly was a "judgment call" it seems.

moreHere is the first book to explore every facet of the most common and debilitating emotional state: worry. While a healthy level of worry can help us perform efficiently at work, anticipate dangers, and learn from past errors, in its extreme forms worry can become "toxic"--poisoning our pleasures, sabotaging our achievements, and preventing us from resolving actual problems.
In this lucid, reassuring book, Dr. Hallowell discusses all types of worry, explores their underlying causes, and considers the best strategies for coping. Case histories and anecdotes illuminate such issues as worry in relationships; the correlation between worry and conditions like , depression, social phobia, generalized anxiety disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder; worry at work; and the worried child. In an effective section titled "Remedies That Work," Dr. Hallowell shows us how to evaluate, control, and manage worry, both with and without medication.
Even "born" worriers can learn to use their worry wisely and channel it healthily. This book is the key. Filled with practical solutions and insightful guidance, Worry is an invaluable aid to living a happier, calmer, and more rewarding emotional life.

World Cup
When Brazilians breathed a sigh of relief
Posted Monday, June 30 2014 at 08:09
In Summary
Soccer. There was an air of desperation at Estadio Mineirao in Belo Horizonte. The same could be said of the 12 fan fests, restaurants, bars and homes during the lunch time kickoff in sunny weather as Chile matched hosts Brazil punch for punch over 120 minutes
When referee Howard Webb blew the full time whistle after 120 minutes in which Chile matched Brazil punch for punch, tension in every part of this vast country could be felt. It was in fact excruciating. The hosts Brazil were living on a knife edge. Chile had narrowly missed securing a place in the last eight after their forward Mauricia Pinalla powered his shot into the woodwork.
Had it been a few inches lower, Brazil were out. Still, there was the first penalty shootout of the 2014 World Cup final looming. Brazil's chances were hinging on the lottery of post-match spot kicks.
There was an air of desperation at Estadio Mineirao in Belo Horizonte. The same could be said of the 12 fan fests, restaurants, bars and homes during the lunch time kickoff in sunny weather. In the media centre at the Maracana, Brazilian journalists were sweating profusely, but their perspiration had nothing to do with the weather.
Many neutrals too were anxious. They had admired Chile's work ethic against the five-time champions, who took every blow on the chin and delivered their own. But this was not the stage for Brazil to exit the World Cup, the reason neutrals were inclined to a Brazil victory.
"The World Cup would be dead," remarked journalist Paul Hayward of the English newspaper Daily Telegraph as extra time beckoned.
He wasn't wrong, the hyperbole excepted. The prospect of the host nation out of the tournament this early would have crushed the Samba mood. Brazilians have been prominently present at all matches including games where their country wasn't playing. If the Selecao had exited, there was a strong likelihood Brazil fans were going to take a back seat throughout the tournament.
Shades of the infamous 1950 final at the Maracana appeared. In that final, hosts and favourites Brazil suffered one of football's greatest all-time upsets when Uruguay stunned them 2-1 to win the World Cup.
To this day, it is a result that still reverberates in Brazilian football.
64 years later with Brazil hosting again, Estadio Mineirao was threatening to become another graveyard for the Selecao.
Brazil had led through a fortuitous David Luiz strike from a corner before Alexis Sanchez equalized from close range after Marcelo and Hulk conspired to concede possession on a routine throw-in.
Exceptional saves
There was nothing to separate both sides thereafter with the goalkeepers Julio Cesar and Claudio Brazil making exceptional saves to keep the scoreline 1-1.
Cesar parried away Charles Aranguiz's well-struck effort in normal time before Bravo matched his opposite number with a more impressive stop of Hulk's angled drive.
As with all stalemates after normal and extra time, the stage was set for the goalkeepers to decide the outcome. Pinilla and Sanchez were denied by Cesar but Willian shot his effort wide and Hulk's kick was saved by Bravo. The pendulum swung this way and that. The faces on the benches of either side told a story of tortuous anguish. That anguish was most certainly cutting across the country.
Ultimately it came down to the final two kicks.
Luiz Felipe Scolari's side had the advantage of taking theirs first, the 57, 714 fans – mostly theirs – watching in prayer. The spotlight fell on Neymar, a 22-year-old boy carrying football's most successful country of all time by himself, to take Brazil's fifth penalty.
Moments of the kind have failed legendary talents before. The names Roberto Baggio, Michel Platini, Diego Maradona, Zico and Socrates come to mind; great players who failed the psychological contest of beating a goalkeeper from 12 yards in post-match shootout at a World Cup.
Neymar is destined to become a Brazilian great like Zico and Socrates. The difference is that his rapid growth and development into a national talisman at such a tender age leave him on course to supplant Zico and Socrates.
Neymar wants to be a World Cup winner to emulate Ronaldo, Romario, Garrincha and Pele.
With 200 million Brazilians and the world watching, up he stepped. With time standing still, the Barcelona striker composed himself to bury his kick into the bottom right of the corner. Bravo had no chance.

Book of Saints – Martyrs of Bulgaria
BULGARIA (MARTYRS OF) (July 23) (9th century) During the war between the Greek Emperor Nicephorus and the Bulgars, not as yet Christians, many Catholics, besides those slain in battle, were put to death on account of their Faith. There is much uncertainty as to how this came about, but they have always been reckoned as Martyrs.

Accelr8 Announces Interim Plan And Advanced Studies
Accelr8 Technology Corporation (NYSE Amex: AXK) announced that upon reaching the end of its technology evaluation agreement with Novartis (Sep 30, 2011), discussion has now shifted to searching within Novartis for funding vehicles. This transition follows Novartis business analyses and successful Proof of Concept technical studies conducted jointly between the companies. Accelr8's management concluded that in addition to successful technical studies, the findings from a number of independent business analyses and advisory boards have been concordant with Accelr8's market assessments and pricing assumptions.
During this period of funding exploration, no standstill or first-right conditions remain in effect that bar Accelr8 from pursuing alternatives outside of Novartis. Recently, Accelr8 has been in discussions with other companies for BACcel™ applications that complement clinical diagnostics, such as pharma development. With the expiration of restrictive terms in the prior Novartis agreements, Accelr8 is now opening discussions with clinical diagnostics companies.
According to David Howson, Accelr8's president, "Recent reorganization in the Novartis Vaccines and Diagnostics division has delayed project decisions until the reorganization is completed. But, thanks to Novartis, Accelr8 is on a rapid development path. To maintain momentum we are taking direct action to develop additional paths to finish the product development."
"At the same time, we are completing formal technical studies that are already underway with Novartis. These include Proof of Concept studies with positive blood cultures containing complex Gram-negative organisms that express broad-spectrum resistance. Our objective is to present the results at the next available international clinical congress. Finally, we expect a corporate update from Novartis before Thanksgiving," Howson concluded.About Accelr8 Accelr8 Technology Corporation ( www.accelr8.com) is a developer of innovative materials and instrumentation for advanced applications in medical instrumentation, basic research, drug discovery, and bio-detection. Accelr8 is developing a rapid analytical platform for infectious pathogens, the BACcel™ system, based on its innovative surface coatings, assay processing, and detection technologies. In addition, Accelr8 licenses certain of its proprietary technology for use in applications outside of Accelr8's own products.

Four Points by Sheraton Sandakan
Local Area
Powered by Foursquare
Situated along the northeast coast of the world's third largest island, Borneo, Sandakan is the second largest city in the Eastern Malaysia state of Sabah. Overlooking the Sulu Sea, Four Points by Sheraton Sandakan is conveniently located on the scenic waterfront promenade in Sandakan's Central Business District. As part of the Sandakan Harbour Square development, we offer hassle-free retail therapy at the square's indoor market place and shops. Additionally, Sandakan Airport (SDK) is just a 20-minute drive away.
The gateway to Borneo's famous wildlife, Sandakan is famous for its numerous eco-tourist attractions. One of the most popular is the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre. Here, a short a walk along a jungle trail reveals orangutans being slowly re-introduced to the wild. Nearby, the Rainforest Discovery Centre, Turtle Island Park, the Kinabatangan Wildlife Sanctuary, and Gomantong Caves offer equally memorable experiences.
An open-snapshot of the island's civilization is found at St Michael and All Angels Church. Built in 1893, it is one of Sandakan's most historic stone buildings. Another significant landmark is Sam Sing Kung Temple. Constructed in 1887, it is Sandakan's oldest structure. For genuine insight into life during the British North Borneo era, visit the Agnes Keith House. Fully restored, it was once the home of the eponymous American writer. Also in the area are: the Sandakan War Memorial, the site of a WWII Prisoner-of-War camp; Kampung Buli Sim Sim, a unique stilted fishing village located on the original site of Sandakan; and the ornate Puu Jih Shih Buddhist Temple. Situated atop a hill, it boasts fantastic panoramas of the city and sea.
At Four Points by Sheraton Sandakan, we understand if you want to go exploring—just don't stay away too long.

What their site says:
- ShareTuner was developed to be simple and easy to use.
- Contact us via email: ...
- Download button
That's not very much about the program itself. No demo's, no FAQ, no documentation. Does the program have a built-in help?
If you can't find the info you need, I suggest you mail them.

I applied the web site http://sharetuner.com/ as you recommended (thanks for that). Their answer was that
Sharetuner allows you to edit and design your pictures. Moreover, you are able to share those pictures with your
friends and family .With regard to videos; they are now updating the version, so it will be possible to edit them and
not just share them.

When I tried to go to their download site, I get a WOT (Web of Trust) warning.
If I proceed anyway, I get a 404 Error.
On their website, they do not tell you where they are located, not even what country.
Who are they?
What are they trying to do?
Do you want to give them your email address?
Do you want to give them your credit card number?

The NFL is nothing if not a copycat league where today's tendencies, once proven successful, become tomorrow's trends. It could create a market for septuagenarian coaches.
Bordow: Cards, past and present, finally rewarded
Big game tickets may fall to Super-low prices
Cards notes: Warner gives teammates advice
Outside the lines: Riding on the ticket-go-round
While watching a wave of 30-something assistants getting coveted head-coaching jobs, Steelers coordinator Bruce Arians sent a not-so-subtle reminder that there is nothing like a true original.
"You've got a lot of guys that are head coaches now that are computer guys that copied other people's stuff," Arians said, "and the two best coordinators in this league are 70 years old — Dick LeBeau and Tom Moore. They're great teachers, and they know why they put it in."
Moore, 70, won two Super Bowl rings as the Steelers' offensive coordinator from 1977-89 and another in the same position with the Indianapolis Colts. Steelers defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau, 71, has one Super Bowl and has a chance to win another in Super Bowl XLIII Feb. 1 in Tampa, Fla.
From top to bottom, the Steelers have reverence for LeBeau and his blitz-oriented schemes that keep opposing offenses and coaches guessing.
Arians believes LeBeau is unique because of his ability to be creative, yet simple.
"It's one thing to have exotic schemes — and all these young guys come up now that have these exotic schemes, they copied it off someone else," Arians said. "Dick sits down with a pen and paper and goes through formations and draws up blitzes. They're very creative and beat what you do, but they're very simple to his guys. To me, the biggest compliment is when you flip on the film and all the other teams are doing his stuff. Next year, they'll cut up all the Pittsburgh films and they'll all be running these blitzes next year. But they don't really know why they put them in.
"That's the beauty of it: Dick knows why he put it in."
Among LeBeau's admirers is his boss, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin, who is impressed by his defensive coordinator's never-ending desire to learn despite boasting the league's No. 1 defense.
"Somebody's that's been in this league 50 years, that's an inspiring quality to me," said Tomlin, 36. "I'm looking to learn. Regardless of my job description and job title, I try to come in and learn something new every day and find new ways to skin it and cut it. He shares that same approach. From that standpoint, we're kindred spirits."
Not that LeBeau would ever come across as a know-it-all.
"He probably knows close to all of it," Tomlin said, "but he doesn't wear it, he really doesn't. He's an incredibly humble, down-to-earth person."

Great shot
Nominating Constructive Critique
I do have a housing for a G12, but here I used a waterproof compact, the olympus tough. It does a good job, and is very good when you consider it's a compact. So it's a reasonable compromise for size and convienience in remote places when the size and weight of a waterproof housing is an issue.
Of course I would have loved to use a housing for my 5D, but this is very expensive, heavy and big. In the end I neither had the budget, nor the space in my suitcase for such a device.
So this proved worth its size and weight.

Chemung Financial Reports Record Earnings
Net income of $2.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, represents a decrease of $0.7 million, or 24.8%, from net income of $2.8 million for the preceding quarter ended September 30, 2012. The decline was primarily due to an increase of $1.2 million in non-interest expense, partially offset by a reduction of $0.4 million in income taxes. Earnings per share for the current quarter totaled $0.46 compared with $0.61 for the preceding quarter. Return on average assets and return on average equity for the current quarter were 0.67% and 6.33%, respectively, compared with 0.89% and 8.53%, respectively, for the preceding quarter.
Net Interest Income:
Net interest income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, totaled $46.8 million compared with $43.8 million for the prior year, an increase of $3.0 million, or 6.7%. Net interest margin was 4.07% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, level with the prior year. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to an increase in average earning assets. The increase in average earning assets was the result of the Capital Bank acquisition in April 2011, and organic growth during 2012 in the Albany region.
Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $11.6 million compared with $12.0 million for the same quarter in the prior year, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 3.2%. Net interest margin declined to 3.98% for the current quarter from 4.19% for the same quarter in the prior year. The decline in net interest margin was primarily due to yields on interest-earning assets decreasing at a faster rate than the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The decrease in yield on interest-earning assets was attributable to lower loan yields as loans continue to reprice at current market rates.Compared with the preceding quarter ended September 30, 2012, net interest income decreased by $0.1 million, primarily due to a six basis point decline in the net interest margin. The decrease in the net interest margin was primarily due to a 19 basis point decrease in the yield on loans.

Ms. Bogas and Mr. Egan will demonstrate how to develop your theme and tell your story by presenting an opening statement. If you have struggled with credentialing the unlikeable client or the client that has damaging character evidence, deciding how to handle the defendant's exculpatory evidence, or using demonstrative aids and technology in your opening statement, you will learn how to weave all of this into your opening statement while establishing credibility with the jury using ordinary words that shift the jury's focus to the bad conduct of the defendant.
9:15–10:15 a.m.

J. Bernard Alexander, III & Alicia K. Haynes

Speakers: Carla D. Brown & Kathryn Burkett Dickson

I love this poem because it really describes how I feel.... I always try to make sure to please everyone else and never show people how I really feel.. I write poetry and I hope you continue to …
Published: Jan 2009
There is a girl who looks like she's got it all, but the truth is people have just never seen her fall. Always trying to please everyone, never thinking of herself, and then disappointment comes and wipes the smile off her face. But she wont let that bring her down.
There is a woman who is being physically abused. Days later when the pain sets in, you can see a purple bruise. On the outside she's laughing, but on the inside she's screaming for help. She tries to act as if its fine, give him more time, he'll see the light, but here's the night, and it never ends. But she won't let that bring her down.
United they stand, hand in hand, with all their heartaches and insecurities. They've cried so many tears, hand so many fears, but now its time to just, believe.

Blackberry v's other PDA
- 0Dec 2, '09 by Michelle123Hi,
I'm still on the hunt for some type of PDA.
Can anyone give me the pros and cons of a blackberry over a touch screen type PDA (Palm, iPhone, IPAQ etc) or vice versa?
- 0Dec 5, '09 by traumaRUs, MSN, APRN, CNS AdminI would go with the iphone. Just got rid of my BB - it quit on me numerous times and I was forever rebooting it.
- 0Dec 5, '09 by WarEagle4LifeI really like my BB Storm, but I, too, always seem to be rebooting the thing. I think an Android is my future (June, 2010). Touchscreens work for me.
- 1Dec 6, '09 by Michelle123The iphone for me is out.
The mims program that I need access to (it is the Aus drug reference bible) is web based on an iphone. And if I can't access the hospitals's internet then I have to use the mobile network.
It costs about 300mb of data it is an extra $29 a month on top of the actual plan. Then for every mb over the 300 limit it costs $0.25 per mb.
I have pretty much settled on the IPAQ. It seems to be the best one for me at the moment.
- 0Jan 11, '10 by TerpGal02, ADN, RNI have the Motorola Droid, and I LOVE it. The Android OS is far superior to the BB, or Windows Mobile (those are the other two OS I have experience with), as far as the nursing apps, all I have downloaded so far are the Skyscape ones, but as far as general functionality, I say Droid all the way!

New York, New Yo...
this week's "oona does it!" at "the sew weekly" was requested by the fabulous creator of sew weekly, mena trott.
her challenge: take my cue from a beloved episode of "the cosby show", and turn the infamous gordon gartrelle shirt into something wearable.
i had a hell of a time with this one! it went from yoga pants to hoochie length to this… see more about the episode and the creation of this striped monster here
stretch jersey with some metallic thread running through (obviously, it was not loud enough on its own).

Oona, you really know how to work those stripes! Amazing job. Love the hair in those photos, by the way :-))

At some point during this Bahamas trip, the Kentucky Wildcats have to come back down to earth, right? That was the expectation Tuesday as the Cats headed into their third game in three days in the sweltering Kendal G.L. Isaacs National Gymnasium in Nassau, Bahamas. Against a collection of Puerto Rico national team reserves thirsty for a little redemption after getting embarrassed by 25 points on Sunday, some letdown was anticipated from UK.

The problems in health care did not come from the unionized workers, they have occurred as a result of corporate greed and managed care. Nurses are working harder, with more patients, worse conditions, and less benefits. As a result patient care is declining. I have been a nurse for more than 31 years, and I believe that forming a union for nurses and other health care workers is the only way we can significantly change health care so that we have a say in how things are done, and how the money is spent.
The complaints from these people are ridiculous. How dare they even mention (and how dare you even print) the obviously homophobic charges about the executive director and the president. Who cares how much their house costs? How can you print such insults without even giving the names of the "dissident" nurses?
Your biased, poorly researched article was gleefully duplicated by many anti-union lawyers and distributed to many hospitals. It has caused damage to the thousands of nurses in Florida who are striving to have a voice in taking care of your family. I hope that if you are hospitalized you will be taken care of by a union nurse who is appreciated by her employer, who makes a good salary, who has enough time to spend with you, who is not exhausted and frazzled, who is using modern and safe equipment, whose work is not being done by poorly paid, unlicensed personnel, and who can fearlessly speak up about the quality of your care.

Nurses: The Truth Lies in Between
I have been an SEIU member at Jackson Memorial Hospital since the union's inception in 1991. I have not been active but have regularly paid my dues. I do what I do best, which is nursing, and I leave union issues in the hands of the union.
What I do know is that SEIU has been very good to me. We have the best working contract of any hospital in Florida. Recently they handled a grievance for me and my fellow associate head nurses that resulted in an average check of $4000 for back pay.
I was shocked to see the smiling faces of the three nurses in the article. Two of them I personally know and with regard to one, I have serious professional concerns. As for the union representatives who were let go, I dealt with one on several occasions. I finally had to write to the union concerning that nurse's unprofessional approach toward me and a disruptive attitude on the unit.
I guess what I am saying is that Kathy Glasgow's article addressed only the two sides: the three angry nurses and the legal representative for SEIU. The truth lies in the middle, with the members. Ask us. As for me, SEIU has been good about addressing my concerns and improving my working conditions.

Transit Blues
Elizabeth Lanteigne has a few hundred thousand choice words for the county's public-transportation system
By Victor Cruz
Thanks to Metrorail, I Finished War and Peace
As I sat at the Brickell Metrorail station reading New Times, I came across Victor Cruz's article in the "Metro" section about Elizabeth Lanteigne and her battles with the public transportation system ("Transit Blues," March 9). I was able to read the article while waiting for the southbound train to arrive. I also read the next article and the next and the next. The reason I did so much reading that afternoon was that the train I was waiting for took nearly 40 minutes to arrive. I was obviously a little upset at the delay. But as I read the article about Mrs. Lanteigne, I thought about all the money Miami-Dade has spent on her numerous complaints. You might think a person in my shoes that afternoon, reading that article, might applaud the efforts of this elderly woman in her fight against the system.
But I cannot help wonder if the money that went into defending against and settling with Mrs. Lanteigne might have been better spent on more trains, more operators, or something that could keep me from sitting at the Brickell station reading the New Times for 40 minutes. Nothing against New Times. I just wanted to get home.
I certainly have not been riding as long as Mrs. Lanteigne, but I have never seen any problems while using the public transportation, except for the tardiness of the trains. I just think maybe she is laying it on a little thick. She may have gotten a rough ride once or twice, but the rest of us shouldn't have to pay for her legal action.

Clearly Herbal Natural Baby Wipes
Your Reviews
"I've tried a million different types of baby wipes and…"
I've tried a million different types of baby wipes and have plumped for this one. I love the scent, I love the texture of the wipes and I find that they are the only wipe I've used that cleans well without leaving a wet or greasy residue. The plastic opening is great and really does keep the wipes moist but I find that every other packet I use has a problem with the edges of the wipes not fallig within the opening so I end up having to yank them out in chunks.
If you search around online you can get these for a really great price. I've noticed the larger mothercare branches are also stocking them now.Read moreLess

Nice wipes without the chemicals so many others have. Wet and thick to clean up all the mess. I like the closing lid, one of the best I came across. The wipes also come one after the other instead of two or three when you pull one out.
I found the scent a little bit too much like the ingredients are competing with each other. This wipe is only available by mailorder/internet which also puts me off buying it again.Read moreLess

Lovely baby wipes. They feel really soft and their scent is very gentle. I like that the wipes are Lanolin free and contain tea tree oil, aloe vera and lavender oil. I think they are as close to home-made wipes as you could get as they're very gentle on the skin. I like the plastic lid on the packet as it keeps the wipes moist and the whole thing is a nice, bright green colour so it's easy to spot when it's not been put away properly!Read moreLess

Report: 90 Percent of Condo Buyers Are Foreigners
By Kyle Munzenrieder
The push by advocates to gain publicity at any cost often involves local law enforcement. Once again, the Super Bowl became a platform to push a religious agenda and bogus numbers.
Last November, Dallas Police Sgt. Louis Felini was quoted predicting that up to 100,000 prostitutes would descend on the city for the Super Bowl.
"We believe, without a doubt, that God gave us the Super Bowl this year to raise awareness of what's happening with these kids," Deena Graves, executive director of Traffick 911, a local Christian group, told the Dallas Morning News.
Into this frothy mix of panic stepped the Women's Funding Network's Dallas affiliate. The WFN stirred up the fear even more by releasing a Texas edition of the bogus Schapiro Group study.
Becky Sykes, the chair of the Dallas Women's Foundation, told the Dallas Morning News that the study's January release was timed "to focus public attention on the problem because underage girls will be brought to Dallas and sold into prostitution during the Super Bowl."
Like its sister studies in Georgia, Michigan, Minnesota, and New York, the Texas report relied on guessing the ages of women in online photographs accompanying classified ads.
And it came up with the same outlandish conclusion of a local sex trafficking epidemic: 740 Texas teens were sold for sex in one month, according to the research.
But the hard data afterward told a far different story: Police reported that the massive dragnet, involving multiple jurisdictions and the FBI, produced just 105 prostitution arrests—and only two involving juveniles.

A little more than thirty years ago, I went to a school run by the military. It was a suffocating place. The school stood within the distance of a rifle shot from the great Baroque palace at Ludwigsburg, built by the autocratic rulers of the duchy of Württemberg as a scaled down version of the French court of Versailles. The Ludwigsburg Schloß was massive and its formal French gardens seem almost endless.
And two hundred years earlier there was another military school in the shadow of the castle, run and named for Duke Karl Eugen, the Karlsschule. The duke brought many of the most promising children of his little realm there to train them for his service, and the school was run with stark military discipline. He presented himself as a harsh father-figure to the students, demanding absolute and unquestioning obedience from them. And what did it mean to serve this sovereign? Karl Eugen maintained a fine army, and he saw it less as a way of keeping his little duchy free and secure and more as a means of making money. He sold his soldiers into mercenary service under his "cousin," King George III. They traveled across the ocean to fight the colonists in America. And for Karl Eugen, this was an investment in the future, for he saw no menace in the world quite so severe as the notion of the American yeomen rising against their lord and master.
One of the young students was the son of the great eighteenth century poet Christian Friedrich Daniel Schubart, who then earned his bread as an organist in a near-by church. Schubart was, however, something of a free spirit, and Lutheran church music was not his thing. Parishoners were soon complaining–he had taken to punctuating the church services with passages from Rameau's operas in the style gallant, the music of the Enlightenment. Schubart found the entire environment oppressive, and he was deeply troubled by what he saw happening at the school. The duke was taking free spirits and breaking them. He made slaves of free men; he was an oppressor. Schubart left and began to publish a newspaper, one of the region's first, and he began to pursue exposé journalism. And at the same time, his poetry took an increasingly sharp edge. "When Dionysius of Syracuse ceased to be a tyrant/He took up running a military school," he wrote.
Karl Eugen flew into a rage. He lured Schubart back for a visit with false promises and assurances, and as soon as he was on the duchy's soil, had him arrested and thrown in the prison at Hohenasperg. There were no charges, nor a trial, nor a dream of habeas corpus. The autocrat's whim was sufficient and complete. And for Schubart there was no hope. In September 1783, he wrote his wife:
I have been damned to spend my life in misery, as a sacrificial lamb for all of you. My sole consolation lies in the absolute conviction that I did nothing to earn this fate. As of today I have suffered 2,426 days in this dungeon. What did I do to deserve this?
But among the students in the Karlsschule, many followed the fate of Schubart with concern. He was a figure of nobility and respect for them, and his willingness to speak truth to power—to use his poetic talent to openly label a tyrant as a tyrant—was a heroic act.
One of the students, destined to serve as a regimental doctor, took poetic inspiration from Schubart's suffering and began to write plays. His writings were marked by a revolutionary pathos; they decried the conduct of tyrants and made heroes of those who stood their ground for human dignity and freedom. For this young doctor, the plight of Schubart, rotting away in a fortress prison, and the uprising of the Americans across the ocean were about the same thing: an insatiable cry for freedom.
"As the Americans are gaining their freedom, I have resolved to go there. Something courses in my veins—I am intent in this uneven world to make some leaps which will furnish material of which people will speak in the future,"
he wrote to a friend, also in 1783. The young doctor never made it to America. But it's clear that something of the spirit of America made it into him. He launched a literary career which had few parallels in European history. He was the philosopher-poet of freedom, the author of the Ode to Joy that inspired Beethoven's Ninth Symphony and went on to become Europe's official anthem. He was Friedrich Schiller.
And today, much has changed, yet much remains as before. We still have tyrants who throw their enemies in prison indefinitely without charges and trials. We still have simple-minded and paternalistic autocrats. And now they govern where once was the cradle of liberty. But where today is the cry of freedom?

|we are having new cabs and granite counters put in. the counters will not have that 4" backsplash. i would like to save labor costs by doing the backsplash myself. i have never worked with tile but i have figured out how to change faucets and lighting just by reading directions, otherwise no real construction experience. i have watched a lot of videos and home shows on tiling a backsplash and it doesn't look too complicated. question one- am i oversimplifying? is it way too much for a beginner?
question two- what would be the easiest tile to work with? i like subway tile but is that more complex than the mosaic that comes on a backer?
i got a quote for $1000 for about 35 sq ft and i really hope i can save that cash for appliances. any help is appreciated!

|Hopefully a professional will respond; however, my husband is an experienced do it your selfer. I read him your post, and he thinks installing backsplash is definitely do-able and relatively easy. He strongly advises purchasing a water saw - about $84 from home depot and a level. Subway tile reduces the amount of grout surface. Mosaics will show more grout. The color of the grout should blend rather than contrast; however, that may be a personal preference. Have a plan how to work around the outlets. Disconnect them and reinstall over the tile. Buying a sample of the tile to be sure of your selection is my advice. Also the home depot in my area offers a workshop on weekends on working with tile. It may be worth inquiring about. I hope your project goes well, and you enjoy the experience.

A tile backsplash is a great place for a beginning DIYer to start. Watch a few videos and maybe pick up a copy of Michael Byrns book by Taunton Press. Just do whatever he says. You'll be fine and save some cash.
|My husband just finished our backsplash, subway tile with a mosaic border. A wet saw and a level are must haves, as the other post said. If you choose something relatively simple, like a subway tile, its not a bad job. Something like a diagonal pattern means more cuts. With tile spacers, its not hard to space the tile properly, so no need to get mosaics on a sheet unless you prefer that look.
|I disagree. Every time I see a DIY backsplash, it screams "amateur" and it's not a place to have that. When one begins to consider edges, working around outlets, etc. it comes into focus real quick. I would shop around for a couple more quotes. Make sure to call a tile pro, not a generalist.
Edit: to save money on your appliances, focus on the sales and installation charges. Memorial day is quite a good one. And certainly price shop the competition.
(For the record, I do a fair amount of tilework.)

|My son and DIL just did their own backsplash (subway tile) and it looks great. It was their first-ever DIY project.
- Posted by weedyacres (My Page) on Thu, Mar 27, 14 at 14:01
|A backsplash is definitely DIY-able. If you've got a good eye for detail and patience to do the job right, so that you'll pull out a tile that doesn't set quite right and re-do it, rather than saying "that's good enough" and moving on, then you can do good work.
Subway tiles are easy to work with because they're small and have built-in spacers on them. Mosaics may seem easier, but sometimes the little pieces aren't exactly right on the mesh, so you have to look carefully and fix anything out of alignment. Also, it's important to get the spacing between the mesh sheets right so you can't see where the seams are.
The key to a good-looking backsplash lies largely in the planning and layout. That's where the stuff homebound mentions can come into play. Figure out where the layout will start so that the edges, outlets and corners will fall and you can avoid slivers.
None of it is rocket science. Just patience and a good eye.
|Our backsplash came out great, I doubt anyone could tell it was DIY. But, my husband is very handy and has done a lot of home improvements over the years, including some tile work, although this was his first backsplash. I still think though, that with a simple pattern, its definitely a do-able project for someone who is moderately handy. With ours, the subway tile cuts were not too bad, although the outlet cuts were a bit more tricky, but still came out well. I wouldn't advise doing a very elaborate pattern if you don't have much experience, but a simple subway or square pattern can be done by yourself.
|Thanks to everyone for advice and encouragement! I am going to get some tiling books, watch a few more videos and try it. I am a perfectionist and would not be happy if the tiles were placed improperly and that is one of the reasons I wanted to do it myself. I hate hiring someone only to find out after the fact that they didn't take the time to do it properly! Time is money for someone I hire but I don't have to rush through it so in theory it will work out. I think the only things that scare or confuse me right now are the thought of using a wet saw and figuring out the outlet extension thing. Some DIY videos show some sort of outlet extender and some don't.
Anyone want to comment on what the did to their outlets? I guess I thought I would just get longer screws for the covers but does that work or is modifying the outlet box necessary?
I am thinking I can avoid the wet saw if I don't use glass and just use one of those tile scoring things?
- Posted by debrak2008 (My Page) on Thu, Mar 27, 14 at 16:38
|Buy the wet saw. Maybe look on craigslist for a good used one. After this project you may be inspired to keep tiling.
Plan your layout. Don't get too complicated. Measure three times.
Buy the wet saw.
|I used outlet extensions. Around 2.00 an outlet. Mine happened to be metal, since my outlet boxes were metal, but, I have seen plastic ones too. Very easy to use.
Here is a link that might be useful: outlet extensions
|Ok, you seem sufficiently motivated. I suggest some reading, searching and posting at the john bridge tile forums. Great guys. They'll walk you through your project. Best of luck!
|Yes, I would get the wet saw. They are not that expensive and much easier and neater cuts than scoring and breaking. You'll use that wet saw again, I bet.
|My mother did a beautiful job on hers, tackling it when she was in her sixties. It included decos (no cutting) and a border tile. Still standing as beautiful today.
|My sister does beautiful tile work. She's done backsplashes, floors, bathrooms. All self taught. Her husband lets her do the tiling because even he admits she does a better job than he does.

|Why does a wet saw scare you? The blade is actually toothless, so you can't cut your fingers off.
|weedyacres- i did not know that! it looks like it could cut your finger off like a circular saw. so no teeth and not scary for newbies? i will check them out at hd then. i have 3 or areas i would love to tile if i can figure it out.
|Try to borrow a wetsaw, are you sure no one else you know has one?
They may even be willing to cut the tiles for you and share their expertise.
My husband I went to a huge tile warehouse that had diy classes and we were able to mix the grout and set a few tiles and try it.

I think its intriguing. It has a lovely sound, but a heavy meaning. I would only use it if you are very religious, or as a middle name.http://www.onceuponatimebabynames.com/

It's pretty, but I find it severely religious. I reminds me of a name a nun might take. Sister Nazarene.

I pass a Church of the Nazarene every day on my way to work and was thinking about how lovely it would be as a given name. I like how it is historically rooted yet still sounds very modern. Sort of like Biblical update to Irene with a dash of Zara and Natalie, I guess. It is strange for me because I don't care for other similar Bible word names, like Genesis or Trinity. I picture a pretty little girl with dark curls. Overall, I think it would be an interesting choice in either spot, but would probably work best in the middle spot, if you don't consider yourself particularly religious."Don't try to be modern, it's the most old-fashioned thing there is," - Attilio, The Tiger and the Snow
