Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

SCRANTON - Northeast Pennsylvania's Center for Independent Living (CIL) is hoping to help local kids with high-functioning autism through its Young Adults with Autism Program, operated in partnership with the University of Scranton.
CIL has been offered a matching grant of $50,000 from the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation to support the program. However, CIL needs to raise $50,000 prior to June 30, 2013 before the matching grant is awarded.
"That's why we are asking the public for help by holding, in conjunction with our wonderful sponsors, a reception to raise the needed funds," explained Tim Moran, executive director of the Center for Independent Living.
"With this grant we will be able to continue helping young adults in our region lead a safe, independent and productive life. We are especially thankful to all of our sponsors for helping make this event a reality."
The CIL event is planned for Thursday, April 25th from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Scranton Cultural Center. Tickets are $50 per person and includes a complimentary cocktail and light fare. Tickets can be obtained by calling Dru Miller at 570-344-7211, ext. 5248 or can be purchased at the door. Catering will be provided by Carl Von Luger's Steak and Seafood and entertainment provided by Matt Bennick and the Blues Mine.
The Center for Independent Living is one of the few organizations in Northeastern Pennsylvania to offer a support program to assist the growing population of high school students with high-functioning autism successfully move into a higher education or workplace setting.
Students are taught the tools they will need – such as time management, organization and social skills – for future independence. By participating in this program, students' academic experiences and performances are enhanced through time-intensive, skills training sessions. Plus, CIL serves as advocates for these students in all areas.
If you wish to become a sponsor for this worthwhile cause, purchase event tickets or make a donation to help CIL reach its fundraising goal, contact Dru Miller, CIL Autism Program Coordinator at 570-344-7211, ext, 5248. For more information about CIL, please visit www.mycil.org.

Butterflies on the Breeze for String Orchestra (Grade 1)

This piece depicts the magic of butterfly migration with only open strings and first finger (using all strings). The butterflies disappear into the sky with a soft, delicate pizzicato ending. Bowing skills include two-note slurs, staccato on the string, and hooked bowings. While rhythmically simple, this piece incorporates a great mix of note values, making counting accuracy important. Number of parts: 8-vln1, 8-vln2, 2-vln3, 5-vla, 5-cello, 3-bass, score. Grade 1.

Discharge from Hospice - page 2
I have a question regarding hospice nursing which I've wanted to ask for a while, and I'm hoping for a little insight on the usual care for patients in hospice. How often is it that a patient is d/c'd from hospice? From... Read More
- 0Mar 30, '12 by sailornurseIm new to hospice nursing but she's 40 and claims a 32 year battle with eating disorders lists both bulimia and anorexia. I found it very strange that she lists her favorite foods:
- Favorite Cuisine: White beans
- Favorite Desserts: Brownies
- Favorite Drinks: raspberry smoothie
- Favorite Junk Foods: PopTarts
- Best meal ever: Dads White Beans
- Foods I hate: peas
I don't know much about eating disorders but this seems weird. Munchausens syndrome maybe? One way to figure it out would be to admit her to a inhouse hospice that could monitor meals/tube feeds and have video cam in the room if possible. I too agree, I smell a rat.
- Also there are other criteria ,such as adls, able to walk, feed self etc, and yes if she stabilizes, she can be discharged for extended prognosis.
- 0Apr 3, '12 by BabyRN2BeHer mom said that "Hospice came into our lives in Sept '07." It seems to me that her objection of the facts of the case do not co-exist. First she's dying and she's on her journey to Neverland. She got to meet the group "I Can Only Imagine." Next she's really really dying because of a PICC line infection. Her mother's words: "Pray for Nanny. This one could kill her and she's on death watch." I kept away from her blog but now, doctors want to do a ilioestomy and she has to come off all her pain meds. I'm not trying to start something here, but something just isn't right. She says that her last meal was in 2005, but she posted a youtube of her and her sister eating at Starbucks. On public assistance? Even I don't go to Starbucks because it costs too dang much. Something is wrong here and I'm wondering from a medical perspective was this is all about? Can this be possible? Thank you all for your help.
- 1Apr 3, '12 by tewdlesBe cautious, babyRN2Be, of judging people from a blog. Perhaps there is something "wrong" with this story, perhaps not. We cannot possibly know by simply reading words on a website.
Eating disorders are often chronic and related to mental illness. The fact that a person is in Starbucks says NOTHING about her personal financial situation. When I was flat a$$ broke, my friends would take me out to a nice place for a meal occasionally. I got to enjoy myself, but I was still poor as a church mouse (as my grandmother used to say). A PICC line infection in a debilitated patient can easily be fatal. Some patients who have extreme and prolonged bulemia cause permanent physical damage to their esophagus and must begin to rely on some sort of tube feedings to maintain adequate nutrition. People with eating disorders are sometimes as fixated on food as they are on weight.
Again, as a professional nurse you must learn how to assess, gather facts, and create a plan for restoration of health. Speculation and judgement have no place in the nursing process. Be careful what things you practice because they will become habit.

TV Guide's Senior Critic Matt Roush takes your TV questions. Have a rant, rave or burning question about your favorite show you'd like addressed? E-mail him here!Question: What were your thoughts on the second episode of My Own Worst Enemy? I basically agreed with your opinion on the pilot, but I thought they gave us more background, key information and layers in the second episode that made it watchable. Although they did sweep your question of "why would they keep the Henry facade intact" under the rug by simply saying they can't take out the chip, they did provide a little bit of motivation for these characters to maintain the illusion. But more importantly, I thought the issues brought up in this show were a great improvement over last week's basic straightforward "guy finds himself in strange situation in alternate-persona's life." Henry's discomfort during the torture scene was interesting to me, as was his desperation to find something that proves his existence isn't fabricated. And the murder of the doctor at the end of the episode was compelling as well, clearly showing Edward as a cold-blooded assassin who must "protect the mission." I thought your review of the pilot was fair, but was just curious if you saw improvement in the second episode. — Joe

Question: I would never argue that ER is "Must See TV" as it was in its glory days, and I don't disagree with your recent comments about the "miserable and morose" characters and situations. The past few years, ER has been a show that typically piled up on my TiVo for a few weeks before I'd catch up on a Sunday afternoon. However, after last week's farewell to the character of Abby Lockhart, I'm reminded of two aspects of storytelling ER has always done exceptionally well: character development and emotional resonance. After everything they've been through, seeing Luka and Abby ride off into the sunset together reminded me why I've stuck with this show, and made me glad I have. I certainly don't bemoan the fact that this is the last season, and I wish networks wouldn't beat great shows into the ground. I hope ER goes out on a high note. The show, and the fans, deserve it. — Keira

Eli Stone (Tuesdays at 10 pm/ET)
Risk factor: Moderate.This fanciful charmer about a modern-day prophet (the adorable Jonny Lee Miller) in corporate lawyer's guise was a bit of a surprise renewal.
Worth the risk? As leaps of faith go, yes. And faith — in visions both magical and musical — has everything to do with Eli Stone's divine appeal. Everyone whose life Eli touches, he inspires, including scene-stealing colleagues like Victor Garber and Loretta Devine, and the same goes for the lucky viewer. Guest stars Sigourney Weaver (as a spectral shrink) and Katie Holmes (as a klutzy fellow do-gooder) have boosted Eli's visibility. Let's hope it sticks.
My grade (on an A-B-C scale): A-

As FX's groundbreaking The Shield enters its final stretch, this week's episode is the taut turning point that hurtles the series into its deadly final act. With Shane finally taking action against his former strike team buddies Vic and Ronnie (on whom he put out a hit at the end of last week's episode), the murderous tensions between these former cohorts in crime reaches a melodramatic boil that will change everything in their lives and at the Barn forever. There are huge twists ahead, leading to a finale (which FX screened for select reporter/critics last week) that is richly satisfying. No ambiguous cut to black for The Shield. This is a show that will grab you by the throat for as long as it's allowed to spin out its crazily suspenseful story of corruption, retribution and dishonorable honor among thieves. If you've strayed during this convoluted final season, now's the time to return.
On TV, it's all about living up to expectations.
Sarah Palin and Saturday Night Live certainly achieved that in this weekend's instant-classic and rabidly anticipated guest appearance by the controversial Republican vice-presidential candidate on the resurgent (though still woefully uneven) late-night comedy show. Watching Tina Fey impersonate her from a backstage monitor, palling around with Alec Baldwin (in GOP terms, the next best thing to a celebrity terrorist), throwing the "Live from New York" opener after crossing paths all-too-briefly with Tina, bopping to Amy Poehler's rap groove at the Weekend Update desk, the good-sport Alaska governor no doubt did wonders for her own approval ratings (or at least her TV "Q" ratings) while boosting those of SNL.
So what else is living up to the buzz?

Question: Several years ago, TV Guide used to do an annual feature on the "Best Show You're Not Watching." I want to nominate Chuck for this honor. It is almost tragic that a show, which through its first three episodes of this season has been nothing short of fantastic, has such criminally low ratings. I understand it received a full season pick-up before a single episode aired and that NBC surely must take its competition into consideration, but is there another show that could benefit more from a time period shift? The wit and goofiness of the writing, coupled with strong performances from Zachary Levi and the rest of the ensemble make this the show which I honestly can't wait to see each week. It even handled NBC's blatant cross-promotion of its NFL coverage by giving guest star Michael Strahan a decent role to play (especially with the extremely funny Joshua Gomez to play off of him). While Chuck is certainly not deep, I consider it the most entertaining show on television, and I hope NBC will allow it to find an audience. — Alex M.

Question: I just wanted to give props to the amazing season premiere of CSI last week. I was a fan of the show from the pilot, but I stopped watching around the fourth season because the stories seemed to start repeating themselves too much. But after watching this stunning, well-produced, gripping premiere, I may have to declare once again that I am a CSI fan. So here's my question to you: Why do you think Warrick's death was so effective, while many other TV deaths aren't? Was it because Warrick Brown has been in our lives and in our homes for eight years? Was it because the characters around him acted like real human beings, and not "TV characters?" What was it about this episode that stuck with me so much? —Marcus

Seems every movie channel wants its own Mad Men–style prestige project. Which could explain why pay-cable upstart Starz has raided the Oscar vault to turn the 2006 best-picture winner, Crash, into an ambitious, if not immediately convincing, weekly series.
With all new characters, so this isn't exactly a sequel, TV's Crash resembles the movie in being less about car wrecks than about disparate cultures colliding within the ethnic melting pot of Los Angeles. Still, there is one fateful smashup in the opening hour, and pivotal moments often occur on wheels — in a limo, an ambulance, a patrol car.

My two recommendations for this Tuesday couldn't be more different: an engrossing biographical portrait of the two presidential candidates on PBS's peerless Frontline newsmagazine; and for those seeking a bit more whimsy in their diet — and these days, who could blame them? — the return of one of TV's most charming sleepers, ABC's fabulously fanciful Eli Stone.

The question, and it's a fair one, nags at many of this season's new series: How long can they keep it going? It applies mostly to shows adapted from limited-run overseas hits (Life on Mars, Worst Week, The Ex List, Eleventh Hour, Kath & Kim), but is especially pertinent to NBC's nonsensical spy thriller My Own Worst Enemy.
Reminiscent at times of The Bourne Identity or Face/Off, to name a few movie influences it does not improve upon, the beyond-high-concept Enemy asks us to believe Christian Slater as a cold-blooded assassin named Edward who doubles, when a switch in his brain is flipped, as a milquetoast family man named Henry.

Denver School of Nursing--BSN experience - page 8
Hi there, I'm starting this thread for people interested in the Denver School of Nursing. I'm starting the BSN program in Oct 2006, and I'm going to try and post regularly to give new/prospective students an idea of what to... Read More
- 0Aug 22, '10 by 2BJenurseHi,
I'm moving to Denver in 2 weeks, I can't wait!! I'll be starting dson in oct- the bsn program.
How is the application process going for dson? When I applied I had to call in and get an interview, but I think its changed now, have you heard back yet? Best of luck with getting in!!
Where did you move from? What area of town did you decide to live. Did you find a job? Sounds all very exciting!!
- 0Aug 23, '10 by jjhc20062BJenurse,
Congratulations on getting in for October! I think you are going to love it here! It is so beautiful! I moved here from Northern California - Modesto area. My husband and I are used to the small-town feel, so we decided to move to Castle Rock. Because it is a little drive into Denver, I will be taking the lightrail to DSoN. I just mailed in my application a few weeks ago. When the application closes in October, they will make their decision as to whom they will interview and this will be sent via mail 4 weeks after the closing date. It is a long time to wait, but I am not in any big hurry. As far as a job, I have not worked for almost 12 years - I have been blessed with a hubby that makes enough money for our family. I did however, proctor for an EMT school (I have been an EMT for 5 years) before I moved one night per week since receiving my certification.
So, where are you moving from? And where will you be moving to? Did you decide to take pathophysiology beforehand? I am taking it this semester at the Community College of Denver.
I hope you love it here as much as I do and would love to keep in touch with you - it would be nice to have someone ahead of me to ask questions to!
- 0Aug 24, '10 by 2BJenurseHi jene,
we are moving from San Francisco to park hill neighborhood in denver. It seems like a nice enough neighborhood, so much more affordable than what we are paying here in the city. My parents live in Clovis, so I know exactly where Modesto is. I'd say Denver is quite the change for both of us!!
I didn't take patho, and so I guess I'm gonna have a heavy load!!! Oh well, I'm expecting it to be tough! Especially with having a toddler at home! Do you have any kids? First thing I'll be doing next week when I arrive is looking for day care, I've been a sahm, so full time day care will be an adjustment for her.
Best of luck on your application!
- 0Aug 24, '10 by jjhc2006Jen,
Funny you mention Clovis because we almost moved there instead of here! If you are used to the big city of San Francisco, I think you will do quite well in Denver. I used to work in S.F. alot when I was younger (did a lot of movies and commercials back in the day) and although the two cities are quite different, they are similar in some ways.
I do have two kids - a 10 year old and a 6 1/2 year old. I too have been a stay-at-home mom and planned to be entering nursing school when my youngest got in first grade (he just started first grade three weeks ago). So far, everything has worked out as planned except for the fact that we moved here - a welcomed change I hope you are able to find good childcare here and wish I could point you in the right direction, but I have no idea where to send you. The daycares here seem so much nicer and safe than the darecares I came across in California.
If you have any questions, please let me know! I hope your move is a smooth one.
- 0Aug 26, '10 by XPLSVjjhc2006,
my wife chose not to after reviewing additional info i found here and elsewhere. i will add, she does know several students at dson and they have been happy with the program. she has similar concerns regarding classes still counting, etc. can be tough with the current nursing school situation.
- 0Sep 30, '10 by jjhc20062BJenurse,
I hope you are enjoying your new home here in Colorado and am sure you are busy getting settled and preparing to start school next week. I am wondering if you wouldn't mind telling me what your schedule looks like for the first quarter. I have heard that they don't always keep the schedule the same, but thought it might help give me an idea so I can prepare my husband for drop off/pick up of our children.
Thanks so much Jen and good luck!
- 0Nov 12, '10 by jlp-cQuote from jjhc2006Hi jjhc2006 --2BJenurse,
I am now in Colorado - moved here less than three months ago and am loving it! I just applied for the April 2011 track 1 BSN program. Do you go to DSoN?
I hope you are still loving Colorado. I was just wondering if you had heard back from DSN about the Aprill 2011 start date, did you get accepted? I got my call earlier this week. I had been reading the posts for awhile, and now I feel like I have a reason to jump in I'm SO excited! I meet with Jeff next week. Hope you got the same great news! It would be nice to have at least a familiar name in school, haha.
Anyone else get accepted for the April 2011 start? Good luck to all!
- 0Nov 23, '10 by kaiteelinnHey everyone! I thought I would post to this thread because I have seen a lot of misinformation about DSN. I am currently a student at DSN and am about to complete my third quarter in the full BSN program, that means i am taking my didactic classes as well as my nursing courses. My nursing classes do not start until OCtober 2011.
I have to say a few things about our accreditation. Currently we are accredited with the career College commission. This accreditation allows us to get financial aid and transfer credits to to the university of phoenix. About two weeks ago we had a visit from the Team from the Higher Learning Commission National Commission on Accreditation and they told us all that they recommended DSN for approval of the accreditation. This still needs to be finalized and may take up to 6 months, ( i am quoting our asst. dean) and we have our final walk through from the NLN people for our specialized accreditation. With the Team from the Higher Learning Commission National Commission on Accreditation accreditation, we will have a regional certificate that will allow all of us to transfer our credits to any school. I also asked the asst. dean if we would be grandfathered into the accreditation if, god forbid, we weren't approved until after I graduate. She told me yes because I am attending the school while it is in candidacy status.
Also, I have noticed quite a few people putting their noses up to DSN, and i have to say, that DSN is an amazing school. the staff is amazing and really care about how well you do. They truly want you to succeed and our labs are amazing! We even opened a separate annex building with an OB lab and new computer lab. Plus the class size is manageable and allows you to get the one on one help you need.
All i can say is wonderful things about DSN. My only complaint is that it takes them until the very last minute to get out our schedules and sometimes the line to the copier is long. DSN is amazing and if you're looking for a school that will help you succeed, it is it!
- 0Dec 26, '10 by Pat LuDSON does NOT have NLNAC Candidate Status for the basic RN or BSN nursing programs that you are looking for, never have, and probably never will in the near future. If they tell you that at the office, they are totally misleading you. They've been lying to students for years, and with a high price tag to boot. They have a candidate status for an educator program (not the program you are looking for). If and when they do get that, it takes years before they MIGHT get approved. They are not in a position to get approved. You can check the NLNAC site yourself at: http://www.nlnac.org/Forms/candidacy.asp
Secondly, I recently called several reputable hospitals around Denver, such as UCH and Sky Ridge, and they, and many other hospitals will NOT hire you unless your school has either NLNAC or CCNE accreditations, even if you have 6 yrs of nursing experience. I have heard of DSON students having issues finding choice jobs, or any jobs for that matter. Some hospitals won't even hire you unless you have a BSN. Some states and hospitals are more needy for nurses, so they might hire you. The RN job market is tougher than the national average in the Denver area - unless you're ok with nursing homes in the evening/weekend shifts and/or remote or sub-par places.
And, lastly, you WILL have issues if you want to further your academic career without having gone to a properly accredited school - I already just called a few schools to confirm that...But, if you're ok with an RN and ok with not being able to apply for choice jobs, and are ok with paying top dollar for this school (i.e. CO state in pueblo costs half as much), then good luck. DSON is way overpriced for what you are getting for your money. But, I think practically everyone gets in...so, the benefit is no wait.

November Jobs Report Brings Lowest Unemployment Rate Since 2001
Ohio's official unemployment rate has fallen to its lowest level in 13 years after employers added naerly 18,000 jobs in November.
Listen to the Story
The first meeting of the Columbus police division's Diversity Recruiting Council was held Tuesday evening. The council is made up of members who will represent the city's various ethic groups. The intent is to try to bring greater diversity to Columbus's police force.
Nearly 77 percent of police officers in the city force are white males. In spite of recent jobs fairs designed to attract more diverse candidates to the division, the city is getting more aggressive in addressing the problem. The new Diversity Recruiting Council is made up of members from the Asian-Indian Association; it also has representatives from Filipinos, Koreans, and others.
One of the new members is Phillip Shotwell who works for the Ohio Department of Development.
"Well I think that as this city has grown over the years the population demographics dictate that at the very least the minority representation on the police force should mimic that of the city as a whole," Shotwell says. "I don't think we're there yet."
The Columbus Division of Police is comprised of 1,830 employees. 76.8 percent are white men; 9 percent are white women; 10 percent are black men; and 2.6 percent are black women.
"With respect to why minorities are not joining the police force, I think there's just inherently built in a distrust of the police department by young people," Shotwell says. "That's just the nature of the beast. "But I think sometimes that if you give them a different approach and show them that police work is good work and it's meaningful work and actually you can make a decent living from that, then I think that young people can take a different viewpoint."
The city has only 13 Hispanic police officers; that's less than one percent of the police force.
The council will work to develop ways of attracting minority and women police applicants. It will also help develop a cost effective advertising and marketing plan.

Cassie Edwards' Publisher: She's No Plagiarist
After questions regarding passages in the romance novels of Cassie Edwards that contain strong echoes of books published earlier began circulating through the book-blog's romance circles earlier this week, Signet has issued an official response, invoking a combination of what I like to think of as "the Ian McEwan defense" and "the Dan Brown defense." That is: We all draw inspiration from books we've read, and you can't copyright an idea. "Signet takes plagiarism seriously, and would act swiftly were there justification for such allegations against one of its authors," says a Signet spokesperson in response to a query from another blogger (which I didn't see posted there yet, otherwise I'd link to it).
"But in this case Ms. Edwards has done nothing wrong," the letter continues. "The copyright fair-use doctrine permits reasonable borrowing and paraphrasing of another author's words, especially for the purpose of creating something new and original. Also, anyone may use facts, ideas and theories developed by another author, as well as any material in the public domain. Ms. Edwards's researched historical novels are precisely the kinds of original, creative works that this copyright policy promotes."
Then there's the "it's only a novel" line of reasoning: "Although it may be common in academic circles to meticulously footnote every source and provide citations or bibliographies, even though not required by copyright law," the statement concludes, "such a practice is virtually unheard of for a popular novel aimed at the consumer market." True, but one might observe that most authors take advantage of the opportunity an acknowledgments section offers to give props to inspirational source material.

1 Earth in Web 2.0 for thousand Women
For seven years while I lived in the jungle working with local communities of African descendents, as well as humpback whales that come to our peaceful Colombian coast, I felt that "something" was happening out there, worldwide, in many places, in every corner, with all women in the world, with their children, their families, in their lives. And I felt that I was missing their stories, their secrets, their ways of dealing with the challenges that meant to survive, to live, to be. I am excited to be confident that through Web 2.0 we all together can create a network that unites us, that make us visible, to get us out of our individual silence and put us in a new scenario, democratic, equitable, real, true, just and showing us as we are with our realities, our dreams, our fears, our certainties, with our soul bare telling stories, telling fairytales, telling the world who we are, what we want, what we expect. If many women can tell what we want, what we expect, who we are and what we dream we can solve many problems that revolve around our world today. We are a single woman. We are women who carry historical weights that requires a a complex present, a day to day full of experiences that culturally we are required, from our environment, our families, our children, our husbands, our communities. Speaking among us allows to feel that we are in the same cave – The Earth - telling our stories and finding solutions, new possibilities, unknown, others. Talking allows to empty our thoughts, going and finding an existing lighter, calmer, more subtle. Because I learned through the jungle to seek alternative connection, communication, speech and technology, is that I find in Web 2.0 the perfect way to democracy that the world needs, that women seeks, that families wants, that children dreams, that all communities should allow so we all together can build the world we are called to build.

telling stories; creating communities
Greetings from a Listener
I want to say hi and let you know that I am one of your listeners. I am hear to answer any questions and help you on your journey as a voice of the future.
First, I loved your description of living in the jungle and working with local communities, but would have loved to have heard more about what you did with them - especially the alternative communication. A vignette or story is a great way to introduce a concept in an essay for publication.
I concur that Web 2.0 is a network that unites us into one woman - a great metaphor by the way! Additionally, your analogy of mankind speaking in the same cave was evocative. I instantly visualized women, men and children in the bosom of mother earth sharing ideas and possibilities.
You have the ability to write beautiful pieces, it just needs a little fine tuning in sections. Perhaps tell me a story or an event that relates to the main theme to guide the reader on your journey, and then weave elements of that story throughout the piece.
Nonetheless, I immensely enjoyed reading your work and look forward to more posts and becoming a friend, as well as a link in the community that will allow us to build a better world as you so eloquently expressed.
P.S. It must have been amazing to see humpback whales along the coast. (I am jealous - I love whales).
Remember you did a great job
I just want to stress you did a great job and I truly did enjoy reading the piece. I look forward to the next piece and seeing you evolve as a writer.
Your Week One Assignment
Hello Martha!
I'm also one of the listeners for your Week One assignment and I really enjoyed reading your journal entry entitled 1 Earth in Web 2.0 For 1000 Women. I can sense your enthusiasm for participating in Voices Of The Future! I was especially moved by your yearning to be connected to a larger voice when you said you "felt something was happening out there" and you were "missing their stories". You also have a tremendous respect for our planet and honoring the diversity of all cultures on Earth. Perhaps you could draw on those beliefs to create more specific solutions for empowering women as you prepare the next three assignments. I would also encourage you to review the criteria that listeners are using to evaluate assignments, particularly adding more personal experiences to your writing so we can learn more about you. Keep up the good work!
Your friend, Valerie
p.s...I loved your photos, too. Is that your daughter?

Welcome, Unregistered.

I purchased my first pair of Vibrams from REI at full price in early spring, a pair of Classics. Less than a month after wearing them all the time, my constant back pain completely went away and has never returned. That alone has been worth the price... but there's more!
These things are super easy to wash, and even after going a few months between washes they've never had any kind of smell to them. These shoes have also been amazing for workouts because you can get the protection and grip of a shoe, while letting your foot and toes move the way that nature intended. And even the sole on the Classics is more than just a "thin slice of rubber"- in half a year I can hardly notice any wear and the fabric comes out looking like new after every wash.
The Classics are the most minimalist ones you can find, just the sole with enough fabric to cling to the foot, yet I'd gladly pay $75 for another pair in a heartbeat, and we're always strapped for cash. But I won't have to worry about that. Instead of wasting $20-25 on cheap sneakers at Payless every 4-6 months, my Vibrams will hold up for at least 2-3 years, and even longer if I pick up a more close-footed model for the winter months!
My 3 cents (yes it's that valuable).
I am an overweight 50+ male. Not morbidly, but enough that I need to lose say 15%. This year, I started yet another exercise/diet program, which includes using an iPhone app that takes you slowly and progressively through to a decent run over 9 weeks.
The first week, using my Nike Pegasus, long my favorite shoe although far from perfect (see below), I was ok but hurt after each session. This was 30 minutes of walk/run combined, with no more than 1 minute per run. In other words, baby steps. And I hurt. At the end of week 1, my knee pain was bad enough I had to quit. Again. This almost led me to the brink of depression, as I know aerobic exercise is critical for weight loss. And swimming is not practical, nor is road biking where I live, and although I own a stationary bike I friggin' HATE using it.
One day soon after I read about a guy with similar age/weight and issues, and he said a running store had recommended VFFs. Even had a picture of him running. The guy had dropped 40 lbs in some 8 months, but noted that he used to have foot and knee pain. Until then I had believed that the VFFs were for either casual bummin' around or for already athletic people who were slightly nuts. In other words, like many, I didn't take them seriously. But I figured if it worked for this dude, why not me?
I don't really have to finish this story, do I? 15 lbs gone and counting, in week 5 of the program, ZERO knee/foot pain, yada yada yada. I also now own 3 different pairs of VFFs and absolutely DREAD wearing 'normal' shoes when the need arises.
Using regular running shoes (I tried them for about 3 minutes just to see), I notice now that my feet 'flap' in a weird way, and I compensate for that by running bowlegged (not intentionally). This of course led to the knee pain. I'd toss them in the trash if it weren't for my frugal nature (hey I'm on SD, aren't I?). And this USED to be my favorite pair of shoes.
I just want to say, I have owned a pair of KSOs for the last year. Previous to those I have tried a number of running shoes and I always would get the worst shin splints after about a half a mile. I'm about 210 5'11" so I could lose about 15 pounds. When I got the KSOs I started running and the shin splints never came back unless i forgot to stretch prior to running, but they werent nearly as bad and they didn't come as quick. If I stretched I felt like I could run forever in these things. Love them!
So bottom line. I ordered a pair of these, I'm excited for the little thicker soul. I've loved my KSOs! Hopefully the Bikila will be just as good.
If you do most of your running on paved or finished surfaces go with the Biklas. They have more cushion than the Sprints (but not much more) and they're a lot stiffer (harder to curl your toes). The thickest part of the shoe is right on the balls of your feet and toes too, where you should be landing if you're running. So my feet like them better for the impact protection.
You do need to learn how to run lightly though or you'll hurt yourself.
The Komodos have more even padding, but it doesn't feel like as much. They're also more flexible so you can change direction more easily and the evenness off the tread gives them more traction. I use them when I'm running in grass, lifting, playing sports like racketball, etc. They do much better than the Biklas on wet surfaces.
Finally, the Treksports are amazing for any soft, unfinished surface. They've got big treads and really dig in to the surface. It's also pretty rigid on the bottom so it does a good job guarding from rocks and debris. So offroad running, climbing, hiking, etc. these are really the ones to get.
I just bought a pair of Vibrams myself maybe a month or two ago or I would be all over this opportunity. I am a runner. Switched to Bikram LSs and LOVE them. Def seen improvement in my times which were static for a long time. They did take some time to get used to. My GF got a pair. Ran 1.5 miles, hurt her foot and will never wear them again. Like anything else, especially with your feet, there is definitely a personal preference and comfort. Personally I HIGHLY recommend. My GF wants to like them, but will never wear them again.
I paid full price for a pair of VFF from a local store to use as a pair of multipurpose shoes (running, working out, swimming). They are AMAZING!!! I would wear them everyday if it were not for a dress code at work.
I loved them so much I bought another pair for myself and a pair for my GF (thanks to the 20% off deal a few weeks back from REI). I would buy these too, but don't have the money (or need for a third pair).

Premier League team news: Sunderland v Spurs
Sunderland boss Gus Poyet has once again reported a clean bill of health, but Spurs face a couple of late fitness tests to key players.
Defender John O'Shea was Poyet's only real concern after appearing to aggravate the groin problem he suffered at Aston Villa last weekend during Wednesday night's 4-3 defeat by Chelsea.
However, the Republic of Ireland international has been able to train normally and is expected to be fit.
Jan Vertonghen "rolled" his ankle in Wednesday's 2-1 Premier League victory at Fulham and manager Andre Villas-Boas has admitted the defender is a doubt.
Moussa Dembele's ongoing hip complaint ruled him out of the Fulham clash at the last minute, but after resting he could come back into contention.
Full-back Danny Rose has made a tentative return to training, but is not yet ready for a playing comeback.
Sunderland squad: Mannone, Pickford, Celustka, Dossena, Bardsley, O'Shea, Brown, Diakite, Roberge, Cattermole, Cabral, Gardner, Ki, Giaccherini, Johnson, Larsson, Ba, Karlsson, Mavrias, Fletcher, Altidore, Borini, Ji.
Spurs squad: Lloris, Friedel, Gomes, Archer, Walker, Naughton, Vertonghen, Chiriches, Dawson, Kaboul, Fryers, Sandro, Capoue, Dembele, Paulinho, Lamela, Lennon, Townsend, Chadli, Sigurdsson, Holtby, Adebayor, Defoe, Soldado.

FHP misrepresenting the law to a citizen during a traffic stop
DATE: June 11, 2014 TO: USF & NRA Members and Friends FROM: Marion P. Hammer
USF Executive Director
NRA Past President
Below are two links to a video -- the same video -- one is on Facebook the other is on YouTube. I suspect it will go viral so I thought you should see it. The video is of a Florida Highway Patrol trooper in the SW Florida area (between Sarasota and Naples) totally misrepresenting the law to a citizen. At minimum, this appears to be a situation of poor training. Nothing in Florida law requires law-abiding people to carry their firearms unloaded -- much less with the magazines removed -- while in their vehicles, and certainly not concealed weapons license holders who are carrying on their persons. That would defeat the purpose of carrying for self-defense. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=657740267647871&set=vb.100002357118942&type=2&theater http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwQ7kHSeOXI
Below is a link to an article by Lee Williams, UPDATED: Trooper tells CCW licensee he can't carry a loaded weapon, just posted to the Sarasota Herald Tribune with more information on the above mentioned video.

Well, I finally have my computer up and running again. December has been a crazy month. In the last year I lost 77 lbs bring me to a total of 120 lbs lost from my highest weight. I also "lost" 190 lbs when I finally became a single woman again! ;) Got a job, got my own apartment, this has been a very productive year.
Happy New Year to everyone and lets hope this year will be even better than last year!!!
down to 171.6 this morning! woo hoo! I know I haven't been at this weight since at least 1993. I have been taking it easy on the diet (aka eating whatever I want) since July or so, but I have been keeping up with my exercise. It is nice to see the weight still coming off. It's very slow, but still dropping, and I don't feel deprived by the calorie restrictions anymore.
I went to a picnic at a park on Friday and got to go on that carnival ride I had to get off of last time because I was too big. That was a big turning point for me and one of my goals was to fit on that ride again. It felt so great to not only be able to get up into the seat easily, but the safety bar fit the first time, no pushing, no embarassment, it was awesome. I was by far the oldest person on the ride and I loved every stomach churning second of it! I even went on it a second time...a couple hours later after my stomach calmed down! ;) I also fit comfortably on every other ride I went on, though it was a bit embarassing to almost lose my lunch on the Ferris wheel. The FERRIS WHEEL for heavens sake!! I can handle spinning in circles while going nearly upside down, but forget about moving gently in a big circle while facing forward the whole time, LOL!
My 2 1/2 year old got to go on tons of rides, too and she LOVED it. She was so tired at the end of the day, she fell asleep on the way home at 6:30 and didn't wake up until 8:15 the next morning. It was a great day.
I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has left a comment on my blog and spark page and e-mailed me. It is so nice to be able to come here and see all those positive comments, especially when I'm in a bad mood or feeling down!
I have noticed that my weight loss slows way down when I do less elliptical work and more other cardio exercises, like biking and walking. Everytime I go back to doing mainly the elliptical, the weight just melts off! I was skeptical that it was really burning that many more calories because walking and biking seem like just as much work, but it really IS burning that many more calories and in fact I think it is burning more than SP says even. WOW. So in addition to rededicating myself to my diet, I am rededicating myself to my elliptical. If I hit a plateau, I may see if changing it up at that point has a different effect.

Anyone here have "high risk" kids?
Find a Conversation
|Sun, 10-11-2009 - 12:26am
I've been lurking a little while and am wondering if and how many of you have kids who fall into the high risk category with regard to flu vaccinations.
Let me introduce myself, I'm Shannon and my DD Rowan is 12 months old. She is fully vaccinated on schedule. She has DiGeorge Syndrome which can cause immune deficiency. She had open heart surgery at 7 days old and has a hypoplastic thalmus but a normally functioning primary immune system. Due to issues DiGeorge kids can have with vaccine response she will not be getting any live virus vaccines.
So yes, my DD is getting the seasonal flu vaccine and the H1N1. DH and I will be getting them also. DD also gets Synagis, the RSV medication. Per her immunologist, we are on lockdown now. I can't take her to church, to Target, or anywhere there is a lot of people. The funny thing is that she is quite healthy. She has had one cold with one double ear infection the entire year. Unfortunately, that cold landed her in the ER for dehydration.
My plan before my DD was born was to delay and selectively vax. I had never had the flu shot before DD was born and probably wouldn't consider it for my DD if she were typical. But she's not. All of her specialists are recommending the vaccines so we're doing it.
Anyway, I'm just wondering about everyone else here..any kids with special medical needs that put them in the high risk category? Thoughts?
|Wed, 10-21-2009 - 10:21pm
Yay! I can post! I'm mainly a lurker and feel rather inferior research-wise so I don't usually say anything, but it makes me wonder how many other people are 'out here' just like me. I just wanted to thank all the ladies on here who continue to put themselves out there on this board- you really are the only people 'I' *know* who don't vaccinate and it is rather lonely. I'm in your typical suburbia soccer mom world that has now been brainwashed into thinking my children are a cesspool of infectious diseases, so I rarely discuss my choice not to vaccinate unless someone asks me point blank.
WRT the high risk subject, my daughter Georgia was the final straw in my decision. After two friends had devastating consequences with vaccinations (one death, one encephalitis/cerebral palsy)I really started looking into things. I had already fully vaxed my two older boys, but had a gut feeling that I shouldn't vax or at least delay vaccinations with her. I figured it was just fear from what had happened to our friends so I finally conceded at 6 months after pressure from my doctor. She had a fever that hovered around 103 for four days. The doctor was unwilling to admit that the vaccines did it and said she must have been coming down with something already. For 2-3 weeks she just wasn't the same, she wasn't alert anymore, the sparkle was gone from her eyes- you just 'know' - plus I had already gone through vaxes with my boys and this didn't happen to them. Two months later my doctor convinced me to give it another shot (no pun intended). Same thing happened again but worse, she was listless, we were told to watch her closely for seizures. My husband and I took shifts holding her 24 hours a day, I was terrified that she would also become a 'sids' case like our friend (that coincidentally happened after his vaccines) and of course vowed to never vax her again if God would let her live. Again, she lost the sparkle, the alertness, and this time regressed. She no longer crawled- for 2 months, she did not start talking when my boys did and still has trouble verbally. She can clearly comprehend, but the connections have been weakened between what she comprehends and what she can verbalize. She's very bright and was working up to 100 piece puzzles at age 3. There's a lot to her story so I won't get into it. My youngest is not vaccinated at all.
What I have noticed between my vaxed and non-vaxed kids is how they weather illnesses. I just needed to post today because the two younger ones just had the flu (quite possibly the H1N1 according to the statistics in our area)- 48 hours, no complications (trust me I was ready to take them to the hospital in a heartbeat- everyone is so paranoid right now). I have to say that it was fairly short in duration, but that seems to be the case with all of the illnesses when the younger ones get something (compared to the older). Another thing is that the little ones never get sick 'again' once they have weathered a particular bug, whereas my boys get sick over and over.
Well, my little ones are begging for me to read to them, but today is just one of those days that I really feel reaffirmed in my decision, especially when I see a healthy immune system in action.
Sorry if I intruded :)
|Thu, 10-22-2009 - 9:59am
Hi Shannon! Sorry I did not recognize you. I remember now.
My daughter is doing great! We're going to try no G-tube for 3 days to try to get her to eat all the time. She eats quite a bit when she decides to so we think that removing her tube feeds altogether may be appropriate for a few days. If things go well, we won't go back to tube.
The vitamins she is taking are:
- MSB+ v7, vitamin D, Vitamin C
My daughter has had a really rough winter last year and we're trying to avoid going through the same this year.
She was also given Synagis in the first 6 months of her life as well as all the "regular" shots until this Spring. We declined Synagis the following year. She caught RSV but another baby in daycare also caught RSV and had been given Synagis. There are apparently several RSV strains and Synagis only protects against a few (at least that's what the other family has been told).
I sent you a private email with more detailed info.
|Thu, 10-22-2009 - 11:08pm
Oh please Danelle, don't ever feel that way. You need to tell your story as often as you possibly can. The more *seeds* that are planted, the more likely parents will begin to question what they are told about vaccines. In the longrun, more babies may be spared. When my best friend's baby died of SIDS in 1991 I began to read a lot more about vaccines (I had already been researching for years at that time.). I didn't even want to have children because I knew I would be faced with the vaccine decision. For me, his death was life-changing. I finally decided to get pregnant about 5\6 years later and made the decision to selectively vaccinate and only after the age of 2. Today I regret that decision because I feel that my sons allergies and countless itchy rashes are the result of the few vaccines I gave him. My never-vaccinated daughter has NONE of those same problems. He stays sick longer than she does every single time.
Also - despite the chickenpox vaccine I allowed them to give him - he still got the worst case of chickenpox ever seen by doctors in the very large practice we went to. But if you have been around a while, you have already read about it I'm sure. :)
Welcome to the board and please do share your story often! We won't make you feel uncomfortable if you just ask questions without accusatory tones, I promise. Asking is the best way to learn. Debating is good too!
|Sat, 10-24-2009 - 1:59pm
I don't have high risk kids, if you read anything that I post that seems insensitive, accept my apologies.
I do have some history in my family that may predispose my children to other health conditions though... but not to the degree of your LO.
|Mon, 10-26-2009 - 3:00pm
FWIW, IMPO, the only people that "intrude" are drive-bys that only like to demean without any understanding of theirs or others positions.
|Mon, 10-26-2009 - 3:31pm
From my own experience, I've found that toddlers are germ factories until about age 5, then it tapers off. I remember my Mom once asking me "Why do you stay sick so much?" and after baby #2, I saw why :). Thankfully, I don't have one under the age of five now so maybe we'll be sick less often!
I hope!
|Wed, 10-28-2009 - 4:46pm
I'm sorry to hear about all your sickness, we all have to deal with it and it is usually when they are young. My daughter had pneumonia when she was a baby, so I know how scary it is. She immediately responded to antibiotics. It was her first and only prescription medication, now she's 5. That is why I think she responded so quickly; she is healthy because she has not been dosed with a lot of pharmaceuticals. I hear children are getting 38 vaccines by the age of 2??? Wow, the same disease were there when I was a kid but I only got three vaccines! They have no earthly clue what this is doing to the immune systems because they have never done any studies using all the vaccines on a schedule, not today's schedule, and not the schedule from 1970 either...
I'll do my best to keep my children's immune systems healthy by allowing those immune systems to do the job, the way nature intended. Our kids know the importance of feeding the body with good food and they make it a habit to get exercise and sunshine as often as possible. Our kids know that synthetic Vitamin D comes from a bottle and real vitamin D comes from the sun. It's a shame that most children won't grow up with that knowledge.
We all do what we think is right. Some parents are reading the information and they know what "peer-reviewed" means and some parents are parroting what the pharmaceutical companies recommend, no matter how illogical it may be.
We all do what we think is best.
