12 Days of Joyswag: Halo: Reach hair clippers, briefcase, book ... oh, and game {Joystiq}
Dec 22nd 2010 4:28PM When Halo:Reach came out, me and my friends who were Xbox 360-less decided to dig up our old Xboxes and play Halo 2 on LAN. The best matches of Halo I've played so far were on that day.
I was able to sneak in couple of hours of Reach going over to the more fortunate people owning a 360, but it wasn't the same as playing 2.

Japanese hardware sales, Aug. 31 - Sept. 6: Does not compute edition {Joystiq}
Sep 14th 2009 10:08AM "slightly better saling rate in the same time period"
And I am saying a console like the PS3 should've had more sales rather than just "slightly better".
Playstation 2 reached the 100 million sold milestone in just 5 years, the PS3 is not even halfway there in 3 years. Like anyone else, you would expect the PS3 to sell better, but it is even 6 million short of catching the 360. Blame the recession and call Playstation 2's sales a fluke, but you'd have to accept Sony squandered everything it had built up with the PS3.
It should've been able to crush 360 sales with its namebrand and recognition alone. The red-rings of death were just a freebie on top of it all, and Sony still couldn't pull it off.
Also, if you say PS3 sales were edging out 360 until it dropped the price-point, then I would say that price drop was a smart move for Microsoft. I mean, is it not what Sony is doing right now?
Japanese hardware sales, Aug. 31 - Sept. 6: Does not compute edition {Joystiq}
Sep 13th 2009 11:23PM "And if you think about it, isn't that amazing? For a console to catch up to its competition that was released a year BEFORE it debuted."
No, that isn't so amazing. What is amazing is Sony's inability to sell a console that was not plagued with hardware troubles. Their inability to sell a console that had free multiplayer, better specs/hardware, and a brand name that was synonymous as the best selling console of all time.
Seriously, it got beat by the console that practically has 50% or higher failure rate. It better catch up or otherwise Sony better step out of the game.
And that isn't taking in the account of the console that is only as powerful as two Gamecubes.

Parent Handbook
Ottawa Sting Minor Hockey Parent Handbook
Although you have just started your hockey season, we have been working since last season to make the hockey experience enjoyable for both parents and players.
In the spring, we interviewed and selected your coaches. All Sting head coaches must hold at minimum, Intermediate coaching certification and have coaching experience. They have met with the Director of Coaching and know that the Sting are trying to put the emphasis on development rather than just winning. They know that we are looking for consistency from year to year in what our players are learning so that they continue to develop. The head coach must present his proposed coaching staff to the Ottawa Sting Executive for approval. We believe we have chosen the best candidates for the job from the applicants we had, and trust you will find the same.
Roles of Ottawa Sting Executive and Team Liaison
The executive are here to address parent issues and concerns. There will be a board member appointed to each level to act as Team Liaison. This individual will help the group through tryouts and releases for the formation of teams. The liaison will be available to the team for it's initial parents' meeting and for any other reason including parent concerns, complaints and questions.
Fee Payment
Once a player becomes a member of the Sting, the Sting Treasurer must invoice the player's home Association for the fees paid to that Association. The team also needs start-up funds. Generally, the first payment to the team is made in September, but the first Sting payment fee is due the 15th of September and the second installment is due the 15th of October. By December, the Ottawa Sting Treasurer should have received the Association fees for each player. These payments are due to Ottawa Sting by the 15th of December. Team Treasurers should collect slightly before that date in order to deposit sufficient funds to cover the cheque.
Equipment Required
Each player MUST wear black pants and helmet for all games as well as the Sting jersey and Sting socks.
Financial Decisions and Reporting
All major financial decisions, and any deviation from the accepted budget, must be brought to a parent vote for approval by 75% majority in order to implement or change. All team managers are responsible for a monthly financial reporting to the OSMHA Treasurer, and to the team parents.
The MOST critical roll on the team. This individual is the glue that binds the team together. He/she is the liaison between the parents and the coaching staff. The manager assists the coaching staff in all matters of team events including: booking & trading ice, organizing and booking tournaments, reporting suspensions, affiliations, etc.
The manager can be the difference between a fantastic season and a miserable one. Please give serious thought to choosing the right individual.
This individual must be extremely well organized, be able to delegate, deal well with people and children and be proficient at problem-solving and conflict resolution. The manager MUST work with the coaching staff, and have the same goals in mind for the season and the team. The manager's role is explained in more detail in our manager's handbook. This is a general description in order to stimulate thinking by the parents on the ideal candidate to assume this important role.
All other team volunteers report directly to the team Manager. Here are a few examples:
Team Treasurer - Collect fees from parents, keep accurate records of revenue and expenses and prepare a report by the 5th of each month for the team Manager to review and submit to the GRMH treasurer along with any payments due to the GRMH. The team manager will give a copy of this financial statement to the parents each month.
Statistician - Keep fair and accurate statistics as instructed by the coaching staff.
Fundraiser - Prepare proposals for team and individual fundraising and present to team for a vote on which proposals will be utilized. Help schedule, plan and organize the accepted fundraisers and delegate duties to volunteers.
Clock and Penalty Box - This is an official position. You are no longer a team parent, but a game minor official. Once assumed, this position requires a fair and unbiased effort. There can be no verbal debate with on-ice officials.
Tournament Rep - Attend all tournament meetings as your team liaison. Bring information gathered from the meetings to your team. Help enlist volunteers to fill the shifts required of your team. Help tournament committee in the final stages of organization and the running of the tournament.
Now that your team has been formed, it is up to you the parent, as your child's greatest fan, to do everything in your power to encourage and nurture the TEAM approach. This is your child's team and that is not going to change. This is also the selected team coaching staff and that, too, will not change.
It is imperative that you focus on the positive. The team may only be hurt by negative feelings and the result can be a long and frustrating year for a player if he must choose between your feelings and his own.
The kids love the game and just want to play. The Ottawa Sting has done everything in its power to ensure that we are providing the best coaching staff available and the best learning environment for your child. Please help us make this season a positive one for your child and his team. Use your team liaison, yet feel free to contact the Executive, President or Vice-President of Hockey Operations at any time with your questions, concerns or suggestions on how we can improve.
Please remember that, at all times, you represent District B of the Ottawa District Minor Hockey Association (ODMHA), its member associations, and Ottawa Sting Minor Hockey Association. (OSMHA) As such, your personal conduct must be of the highest order at all times. Abuse of officials, team coaching staff and players will NOT be tolerated.
Problems and Complaints
We know there won't be many of these…however, if you need to raise an issue, the procedure is as follows:
1. First, speak to your child. Find out what happened, what was said, and how he feels about the situation. Carefully assess what a child may take as face value.
2. If you feel there is a problem, you may speak to the team manager, and ask for a meeting with the coach (24 hour cool down rule).
3. If not comfortable or satisfied with this, speak to your team liaison. An objective opinion and different perspective may help. The liaison can also bring forward your concerns to the board.
4. Speak to the Vice-President of Hockey Operations or the Sting President about your concerns.
5. Don't wait too long to deal with an issue. It is always easier to remedy a situation if it is caught early, and no damage has been done.
For information about the Sting, please review our website, where contact information for the
executive board
and your
can also be found.
Have a wonderful hockey season!
And, even though this is competitive hockey, let's keep it FUN!

Statehouse coming around on governor's proposed tax cut
By Matt Mikus email@example.com February 19, 2013 11:10AM
Sen. Luke Kenley, R-Noblesville | File photo
Updated: February 19, 2013 9:31PM
INDIANAPOLIS — Gov. Mike Pence's plan to cut the individual income tax by 10 percent has begun to see support from individual members of the General Assembly.
Two bills in the Senate's Tax and Fiscal Policy Committee were discussed Tuesday, where State Sens. Jim Buck, R-Kokomo, and Mike Delph, R-Carmel, stated that implementing the governor's tax cut would help the state grow by attracting new businesses.
"It's not going to do Indiana any good to depend upon the static growth of our population," Buck said, "We're sending a message that Indiana wants to grow beyond our current population."
Delph pointed to the potential tax increases that would come from the federal government and cutting the state tax would help offset the burden on everyday Hoosiers.
Members of the committee, including Sens. Luke Kenley, R-Noblesville, and Lindel Hume, D-Princeton, stressed the importance of funding the responsibilities of the state government, such as education and transportation.
"Some of these things are more important than lower taxes," Hume said. "We need to do the essential things that our state must do."
Kenley said the plan was on the right track, but how to implement the tax cut without hurting the state's current commitments would need to be discussed by the governor and the General Assembly.
Neither bill received a vote at the hearing.

Angry Birds flies onto Android devices
Shortly after one of the most popular games for the iPhone came out for Palm's WebOS devices, Android users get it too.
Editors' note: When we tested Angry Birds with the HTC Evo running Android version 2.2, the game continually crashed at the title screen. After asking around CNET's New York office, we found that every Evo owner experienced the same bug. Early reports online also confirm the issue.
Stand by Android owners, as you'll be able to get your fix of evil pig-killing suicidal flying birds starting today.
In a blog post, Angry Birds developer Rovio revealed that Angry Birds Lite Beta would be available for anybody to download today. The creators were originally planning to run a closed beta test, but there was a "massive response and demand from the Android community" to make it available.

When Your Child Has a Disorder of Sexual Development (DSD)
Your infant may look different than you had expected. You may be feeling shocked, confused, or worried that your child has ambiguous genitalia. This means sex organs that are not clearly male or female. You are not alone and many people are here to help you. A healthcare team will help you decide how to best care for your child. Below are answers to some questions you may have.
What Is a DSD?
When a child is born, the sex (also called gender) can usually be determined by looking at the baby's sex organs (genitalia). In some children, the sex is not obvious. This is because the child's genitals didn't develop properly.
How Do Genitalia Normally Form?
Many steps must happen during development in the womb to determine a baby's gender.
Beginning at conception, the mother and father's DNA combine to create a female or male embryo. Each embryo starts out with two gonads and no sexual organs. The gonads eventually become the ovaries in a female and the testes in a male. Other reproductive structures, such as the uterus in females, begin forming inside the baby. These structures may be referred to as internal genitalia. Around weeks 6 or 7, the external genitalia (vagina or penis) begin to form.
What Causes a DSD?
Something likely disrupted the development of your child's sex organs while in the womb. This does not mean that you did something to cause your child's condition. It is not really known why some children's genitalia do not form normally. Certain factors may make ambiguous genitalia more likely to occur in some children. Your healthcare provider can discuss with you any factors that may have led to ambiguous genitalia.
How Are DSDs Diagnosed?
Tests can help your healthcare team collect important information about your child's development in the womb. This information is vital in helping you decide the most appropriate sex in which to raise your child. Tests may include the following:
Blood tests to check DNA and measure hormone levels.
MRI to study internal structures, such as gonads.
Ultrasound to take images of internal genitalia.
Genitogram to help identify internal genitalia. This is an x-ray image of your child's reproductive structures (sexual organs).
How Are DSDs Treated?
Treatment depends on the type of DSD a child has. Some DSDs are treated with surgery. This may involve reconstructing external genitalia or removing internal genitalia. In some cases, more than one surgery is needed. Medication may also be used to treat certain DSDs.
When Should Surgery Be Done?
If surgery is needed, your child's healthcare team will discuss with you when is the best time to operate. In some cases, it is recommended to wait until adolescence. This is to allow your child more time to grow.
Who Will Help Care for My Baby?
Always remember that you are not alone. A team of specialists will help you care for your child. This team will include some or all of these key members:
Pediatric urologist: A doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating problems of the female and male urinary tract in children.
Endocrinologist: A doctor who specializes in diagnosing and managing conditions related to hormones.
Reproductive endocrinologist: A doctor who specializes in diagnosing and managing hormonal conditions that affect reproduction and development.
Genetic specialist: A specialist who can help determine whether what caused your child's condition is genetic (runs in your family). This will help you know whether children you have in the future are more likely to have a DSD.
Psychologist or social worker: A specialist who helps your child and family cope with emotional, social, and financial issues that may arise due to your child's condition.
Primary healthcare provider: A doctor or other healthcare provider who specializes in the general health needs of patients.
Nurses: Healthcare professionals who care for your child and tend to your child's needs in the hospital or clinic.
What About My Child's Future?
It's important to talk openly with your child's healthcare team. Be sure to discuss any questions or concerns you have with them. Common questions include:
Should I raise my child as a male or a female? Who will help me decide?
At what age is it appropriate to tell my child about the DSD diagnosis?
Should my child have surgery? If yes, at what age?
Will my child need hormone therapy? If yes, at what age should my child begin the therapy?
Will my child ever be able to have sex?
Will my child be able to have children in the future?
Doing What's Best for Your Baby
It's important to be patient regarding the sex of your child. As you now know, many factors can influence a child's gender. It's not just the appearance of the external genitalia. So work closely with your child's healthcare team. They will help you learn more about your baby so you can decide the best sex in which to raise your child. This will help your child live a happy, normal life.
Tips for Parents
Keep in mind the following:
You are not alone. Members of your child's healthcare team will help guide you.
Treatment is available. Counseling, medication, and surgery can help your child live a normal life.
There are things you can do to help your child get a good start. Ask your child's healthcare team for suggestions.
You're probably feeling many emotions right now. You may feel worried thinking about your baby's future. You may feel pressure to decide the sex of your child right away. Remember that you have time to make this decision. Most importantly, remember that your child needs to be loved, touched, and comforted. You should also get support for yourself. Support groups are available so you can talk with other parents of children who have DSDs.

If you have questions, talk to your child's care team. Also, look in your local library or bookstore. These online resources can also be helpful:

Civil Disorder
Home Department
Karl McCartney (Lincoln, Conservative)
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department
(1) what assessment she has made of the adequacy of police officer numbers trained to deal with public order offences during the public disorder of August 2011;
(2) what estimate she has made of the number of (a) level one and (b) level two public order police officers in each of the last 10 years;
(3) if she will consider establishing a central record of the number of level 1 and level 2 public order police officers.
Nick Herbert (The Minister for Policing and Criminal Justice, The Minister for Policing and Criminal Justice; Arundel and South Downs, Conservative)
holding answer
Training is an operational matter for the police service. The Home Office does not collect information about the number of public order trained officers.
In response to the August disorders of 2011, HM Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) was asked by the Home Secretary to review the national policing response. HMIC's report "Rules of Engagement: A review of the August 2011 disorders" was published in December 2011. This report made four overarching recommendations, three of which directly relate to ensuring the adequacy of public order trained officers. We are working with the police service to ensure that they are prepared for the public order challenges of the future.

Brooklyn's Bushwick neighborhood is increasingly becoming a popular hipster haven. In a short stroll from Morgan Avenue to Jefferson Street, artists, musicians and other denizens can be found blasting their headphones, lugging guitars or just standing around looking cool. The uniform? Grunge-meets-eclectic, from cropped tops to combat boots, bucket hats to knee socks. And the bonus accessory: the old-school bicycle.

Drug dealing on the DS
Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars may be the one everyone forgets about – overshadowed by GTA IV's lush 3D graphics and The Ballad of Gay Tony's abject lunacy – but it does have one trick up its sleeve.
The drug dealing minigame, in which you trade narcotics in different areas to take advantage of changing prices, was worth the price of admission on its own. GTA Online's set to feature similar market economics – buy shares in a car company, and manipulate the market – by blowing up vehicles.

When budget is a concern, where do you cut?
posted by: chrissyb2411 on 04.21.2013 at 10:13 am in Kitchens Forum Ok just looking for some opinions. We are doing a pretty much top to bottom renovation on a foreclosure we bought. We are only a couple weeks in, and it will all be diy so we are looking at probably a 4-6 month renovation. We discovered mold in the finished basement when ripping out the old heating system. We don't plan on refinishing for now as it would eat up our whole renovation budget. But it's not a huge deal, just a bummer. And it means a lot of time spent cleaning and re-sealing the basement which throws everything back a bit time wise.
So, my kitchen budget is a little tight for what I need. Do able but tight. I have already compromised by removing wall ovens and cooktop from my design to go with a less expensive range. I have been to hd, lowes, a local store and ikea. Ikea would be great, but the color choices for doors are lacking. The local kitchen store was less than overwhelming and priced out their builder grade line (armstrong). The quote came in about $1000 less than lowes/hd but didn't include any of the internal components that are important to me (pull out trays for pantry, lazy Susan in corner, pull out trash, tray dividers) and they didn't have any options for 2 areas roughly 7 inches each (ie spice rack) and could only offer filler pieces. I'm leaning toward kraftmaid, Devron full panel shaker style in maple with a light to medium stain. Countertops are driving me nuts. I like the look of solid surface, and lg hi macs would fit budget wise easily. I like quartz but the lowest end quartz is slightly over budget. I don't particularly like granite, but could live with the right color, and it would fit budget wise. DH is steadfastly against laminate, and wood and concrete are out. I planned on doing a tile backsplash, probably subway or glass mosaic, the kitchen will be very casual. Do I need the countertop backsplash if I'm going to add tile, or skip the tile and save money? Resale value is not an issue as we plan on staying in this home until our now 4 year old finishes high school lol. So where did you personally compromise to fit your budget? Should I consider the builder grade cabinets, which look fine but don't have the function I want? Should I pass on upgrades Like plywood furniture ends if we go kraftmaid? Did you change or skimp on something you now wish you hadn't? In short (or long) what are you living without that you though you couldn't (and its no big deal). What did you cut that you wish you had not? NOTES: <none>

Backsplash help, please :)
posted by: AnnaS8963 on 04.13.2013 at 10:18 pm in Kitchens Forum I've been looking at GardenWeb since last July and you all have answered so many questions for me. Thank you! Our kitchen is nearly complete and we'd like some help with the backsplash.
Here's our current plan: Rows of glass-mosaic tile above the granite, lined with metal border, and then with off-white tiles above that in diamond orientation. Above the cooktop would be a tile mural from Stone impressions. What do you think? - The granite is "Aurus"; faucets and hardware are oiled bronze. Link to the tile mural we like View of Kitchen: Tile mosaic border: Granite and off-white tile: NOTES: <none>

why is everyone pushing water based poly?
posted by: NYMK on 04.08.2013 at 06:18 pm in Flooring Forum Everyone that I have gotten estimates for is pricing for water based poly. One company that has a good reputation won't even do oil based. Is there a reason people are pushing water based poly? Is it better than oil? Or is it just the fact that it takes more time for oil based poly to dry and it smells a lot more?

Revised Floor Plan for 60's Ranch!
posted by: buildinva on 04.09.2013 at 11:31 am in Kitchens Forum I have made revisions to my kitchen plan based on feedback from my other thread and more thinking and pondering on my part. I would love to know what you think. I used the IKEA kitchen planner to do this.
In case you missed the previous thread, it's here: http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/kitchbath/msg0317105127633.html?3 1734 We are buying a 60's ranch and will do a gut remodel, resulting in a 1,000 sq ft open living space. The yard is an acre and backs to a sweet little creek, so we have great views along the back of the house.We are a family of 4 who frequently have a house full of kids. We live casually and comfortably, but I do love beautiful spaces! We are planning a budget white kitchen, possibly from IKEA. We cannot move the kitchen to the left because of the opening to the garage & office. We cannot move it to the right because there is a low window just 20 inches from the corner and we can't afford to move it. The island, which I couldn't figure out how to illustrate in the kitchen planner, will be 45x126 and seat 4 at the overhang. The walkway between the stove and island is 45. I know 48 is recommended, but I don't think I can do it and still have room on the other side for the living room. Oh, I have put in a cleaning closet to hold the broom & other cleaning supplies. It will be in the hall space between the passageway and the kitchen (it is not shown here). ANY thoughts or ideas are welcome!!! Thank you!! NOTES: <none>

Anyone else feeling a bit teary eyed?
posted by: holly-kay on 04.04.2013 at 10:37 pm in Kitchens Forum Planning our new kitchen has been a bit overwhelming. Tonight I was washing dishes and tidying up and it struck me how much I love mylittle, imperfect kitchen. Do I still want to redo it? A great big yes! But as I was washing my dishes I started remembering all the life and love that has happened in that small space. The wonderful holiday meals, the Sunday dinner family nights, the games played and the homework done at the kitchen table, and the bill paying sessions that were enough to make me want to tear my hair out. My kitchen still is the hub of our family life. The children are out of the nest but we now have our adored grandsons. Yes the kitchen will be new from top to bottom but what will remain is the love and joy that has been the center of our home. My new fridge will soon carry the dear little fingerprints and the drawings from my grandsons. After all they are just the designer touch to complete my new project. I am so very blessed.

Ikea Kitchen Planner: Adding custom island??
posted by: buildinva on 04.03.2013 at 12:42 pm in Kitchens Forum I'm using the Ikea Kitchen Planner but cannot figure out how to add a custom island in the dimensions I want. I've googled, searched here, and experimented for over an hour with the software (which is very counter intuitive for me). I'm beyond frustrated. Is there a way to do this? Thanks!

Which stools do you like?
posted by: lovetodream on 04.02.2013 at 11:44 am in Kitchens Forum Trying to decide between two different looks and wondered what your opinion is.
The peninsula panel is not on yet and we still need to hang the pendants, paint (that copper is not staying) and put up BS. As you can see, the colorful Fiestaware is evident through the glass cabinets (still have to put glass on, actually). The two stools I'm thinking about are in the links below - if someone could do me the favor of posting them, I'd appreciate it because I am apparently not bright enough to figure it out on my own, despite having tried for the last 2 hours. Laurainlincoln actually has the clear stools and I think they look great and disappear while looking cool. However, the price is double the red stools so I'm wondering if I should be practical and add that splash of color. Here is my kitchen so far: Here is a link that might be useful: Vapor Counter Stools NOTES: <none>

Pocket Doors - Do or Don't?

Al Qaeda vows to avenge Osama bin Laden's death
A banner from a jihadist website announcing announcing the death of Osama bin Laden. |
Al Qaeda has announced the death of its founder and leader, Osama bin Laden, and has vowed to carry out attacks in his name.
A banner that was posted on the Atahadi jihadist forum and obtained by The Long War Journal celebrated bin Laden's "martyrdom."
"Here congratulations are accepted for the martyrdom of the Commander in Chief of the Brigades of Jihad throughout the world, lion of Islam, Sheikh Osama bin Laden. God have mercy on him," the banner reads, according to a translation provided by the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.
The SITE Monitoring Group has translated the announcement of bin Laden's death. Al Qaeda said bin Laden's blood "is more precious to us and to every Muslim than to be wasted in vain," according to a translation provided by SITE to Reuters.
"It (bin Laden's blood) will remain, with permission from Allah the Almighty, a curse that chases the Americans and their agents, and goes after them inside and outside their countries," the al Qaeda statement said. "Their happiness will turn into sorrow, and their blood will be mixed with their tears," al Qaeda said.
Al Qaeda also pleaded with Pakistanis to revolt against the "clique of traitors and thieves" in their government, as well as attack Americans and drive them from the country.
"We call upon our Muslim people in Pakistan, on whose land Sheikh Osama was killed, to rise up and revolt to cleanse this shame that has been attached to them by a clique of traitors and thieves ... and in general to cleanse their country from the filth of the Americans who spread corruption in it."
Today's announcement is the first official recognition from al Qaeda that their leader was killed since US Navy SEALs and CIA commanders launched a daring midnight raid that killed bin Laden and three other men, including two couriers and his son, in a safe house in the Pakistani city of Abbottabad. Al Qaeda has yet to designate a successor to bin Laden.

CIA launched it's first drone attack in the tribal areas in June 2004.
Bin Laden was moved to Abbottabad right after that.
Planning or co-incidence?

@Bill: Any news on the Stealth helicopter? What little I have seen is that "The Pakistanis hauled the tail section away". Will the Pakistanis return the parts to the U.S. or will they sell them to the highest bidder? Oops, I think I just wrote the definition of "stupid question."

What I wonder, is where he lived right after 9/11 since moving into the compound.
Some gitmo detainees say that he fled Tora Bora, and went NORTH to Kunar province, where he stayed for 10 months until crossing into Pakistan. From there, he probably would have crossed into Bajaur or Mohmand.
But even after the 10 months was up, and he crossed, what happened to him then? Where did he go, where did he live, what did he do?
Based on the circumstances of his death, I'm beginning to think that he might have been BETTER off living in a cave in North Waziristan - the Pakistani army has some good friends there, and the jihadists and Pakistani establishment know the terrain very well, so they could in theory hide him very well there. Perhaps in a cave, or even better, an underground bunker. Or maybe an underground bunker INSIDE the Miranshah army complex?
I'm getting a little bit speculative here, but now when I look back at it, an urban area was not the best area for him to hide. Regardless of his death, Bin Laden always said that when that happens, he will be replaced by a more violent and charismatic leader in jihad.
Knowing Al Qaeda, they will try their best to make that happen.
When Hamid Gul was on Infowars (sorry Bill - I have to say this) he says he thinks the raid never happened, and that it was a fake Bin Laden inside a house in America. With such denial present, how can Pakistan ever get a grip on this WOT? How can they ever deal with the next wave of threats?
Posted by Neo at May 6, 2011 10:26 AM ET:
"Asked why they had not checked out a building so close a major military facility the ISI said that the compound had actually been raided when the house was under construction in 2003 when the authorities believed an Al Qaeda operative Abu Faraj Al Libbi was there. On that occasion he escaped."
Given that from 2002 to 2005, Abu Faraj al-Libbi was al Qaeda's No. 3 man, wouldn't this have put a "flag" up somewhere ?
Posted by D D Misra at May 6, 2011 10:50 AM ET:
From what Genral Musharaf, the former President of Pakistan, has been saying in different interviews since 12nd May it is clear that he has been protecting Usama Bin Laden since September 2001.
In fact he has been most disappointed. The other Pakistani leaders merely fell in line o avoid antagonising the public in Pakistan.

I believe the U.S. army should attack Pakistan for hidding Bin Laden since we were paying our tax money to Pakistan to get rid of terroism and they were helping the terroist the whole time THEY OWE US!!!, take it over, keep it as a satellite state, and become part of OPEC where gas will be 25 cents a gallon WE DESERVE THIS! Obama step up and be a man and DECLARE WAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by Paul at May 6, 2011 12:17 PM ET:
The Pakistani government still has not categorically weighed in on bin Laden. Their military, in particular, has not admitted that it failed to perform its duty to protect Pakistan by allowing bin Laden to reside there.
In a parliamentary democracy, the ministers in charge of intelligence and defense are responsible for policy failures. Either it is the government's position that it was OK to fail to catch bin Laden or ministers in these areas should be fired.
If it was not government policy to allow bin Laden to reside in Pakistan, the current ministers in charge of these two areas should resign and the new ministers should clean house to get rid of the underlings who allowed this to happen.
If it was government policy to allow bin Laden safe haven, why does Pakistan still have an air force or any armored vehicles?
Posted by ariana at May 6, 2011 12:46 PM ET:
It was wrong for America to go to Pakistan and carry out their mission without Pakistan even having the slightest knowledge.
Even the Archbishop said it must have been a very uncomfortable feeling the way America carried out the killing. If one person does bad does that mean you do the same?
Obama will have to answer to Pakistan and what has he done to the rest of us we will have to live in fear now because of reprisals and attacks and that will be on innocent people.
Did Obama not think about this we all know he is totally crap and people make fun out of him so I presume he had to do this deadly job to make the american people for favourtism.
I think no matter what evil or bad one person does, it does not make it right to do the same to him. I will not travel on tubes anymore because of what America did and we innocent people will have to pay the price.
I hope that the people in Pakistan ask America
this question WHAT ON HELL HAS OBAMA DONE

Hats off to the Seals!
It's now nearly a week since Bin Laden's death and the foolish announcement of what one administration official described as a "treasure trove" of data. Obviously all the bad guys are running for cover at this moment. But have you ever noticed how even a small-town police department rarely gives out more info than an active investigation would warrant? Yet here is our all-powerful, all-knowing national leadership blurting out all sorts of clues. Let's just hope this is all a cunning dis-information strategy. I'm just crossing my fingers there are enough leads to entrap the rest of these murderers. Any thoughts from readers?

It is interesting to note al Qaeda feels "betrayed" by the pakistani leadership. Too bad the helo crashed, it would have been great for the US to keep the Geronimo operation under raps for a while longer. The analysts have hit the jihadi honey pot with 2.7 Terabytes of data:
If the data is like that of al Qaeda in iraq you can bet the record keeping by bin laden was extensive and very detailed.

I disagree. What was wrong is that Pakistan tells Bin Laden everything we tell them. So therefore, we can't tell them and they only have themselves to blame.
Posted by peterg at May 6, 2011 6:45 PM ET:
I do not believe it was known in Pakistan at all.
Look at the corruption rife within the Pakistan cricket team.
Could there be any group of a dozen Pakistanis that, no matter how fanatical, no member of which would be prepared to sell out Bin Laden for the reward?
I suggest not. The only way he could hide there so long was through absolute secrecy.
Pakistan and similar countries should not be judged with the same criteria as first world countries. Their command and control systems are so much less efficient.
Posted by MARK at May 6, 2011 6:58 PM ET:
If the son was in Iran with several family members for years, under house arrest, is it also possible that Iran was harboring Bin Laden for awhile before he ended up at the compound. This information does not add up, all the information released. The military is smarter than that to leave behind a tail rotor. I believe we had been watching him for years, and tracking all the couriers to and fro. That is how good intelligience works.

May he rest in hell! We rendered unto him,

Ariana - �It was wrong for America to go to Pakistan and carry out their mission without Pakistan even having the slightest knowledge.�
R � Clearly it was right, Osama bin Doubletapped is fish food. He cannot order the deaths of any more innocent people. Clearly it was for the best that no Pakistani knew beforehand, the mission would have been a failure and Osama bin Doubletapped would have escaped yet again (Hilliary's worst fear). Pakistan had considerable knowledge, at least certain elements of the Pakistani army and ISI did. They were harboring the worlds most wanted terrorist and had been since 2001, they should have expected that something was going to happen to him sooner or later.
Ariana - �Even the Archbishop said it must have been a very uncomfortable feeling the way America carried out the killing.�
R � We'll have to assume your speaking about the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowen Williams. That staunch defender of Saddam Hussein, Bashir Assad, and the mullahs of Iran. He who openly calls for Sharia Law in Great Britain and advocates against western capitalism. His opinion means nothing to those of us that Osama bin Doubletapped had already marked for death.
Ariana - �If one person does bad does that mean you do the same?�
R � If it will prevent that person from following through on their sworn oath to continue doing �bad,� if it prevents that person from calling for and ordering the deaths of millions more...why is this even a valid question?
Ariana - �Obama will have to answer to Pakistan...�
R � Sure thing. Right after Pakistan answers for taking billions in US aid money all while hiding the �bad� person who ordered the deaths of 3,000 Americans on one day.
Ariana - �...and what has he done to the rest of us we will have to live in fear now because of reprisals and attacks and that will be on innocent people.�
R � Where have you been for the last two decades? What exactly do you think al-Qaeda does? What, are they going to escalate the mass murders, the terrorist attacks, the butchering and beheading of innocent people all over the world more then they already have? Don't you think perhaps all Muslims should live in fear because of the very many terrorist attacks on innocent people, including other Muslims, already ordered by Osama bin Doubletapped?
Ariana - �Did Obama not think about this�
R � If some of the rumors are even partially true, President Obama almost over-thought this, the same way Bill �Cigarman� Clinton did back in 1998. Luckily for him and us, we have the most professional best equipped rough men (see George Orwell) in history on our side.
Ariana - �...we all know he is totally crap and people make fun out of him so I presume he had to do this deadly job to make the american people for favourtism.�
R � No, not totally. He did follow through with the proper orders, after much dithering, and he did let our professional rough men do their job the best they know how. Even if he and his staff have since done their best to screw up what should be the best afterglow this nation has had since 1991.
Ariana - �I think no matter what evil or bad one person does, it does not make it right to do the same to him.�
R � That would be why we keep those rough men on the payroll, to do what you apparently cannot deal with morally, defending yourself.
Ariana - �I will not travel on tubes anymore because of what America did and we innocent people will have to pay the price.�
R � Tubes you say? Perhaps you are somewhere within the Empire upon which the sun finally set? In America we call those subways. America did nothing to damage your tubes or your people. Those were not American bombs in London, Scotland, Madrid, Bali, New York, New York (so big they bombed it twice), Dar es Salaam, Nairobi, Istanbul, Khobar, Amman, Algiers, next to the USS Cole or the Superferry 14. Those were Osama bin Doubletapped bombs, every single one of them had his fingerprints on it, his money behind it, and his orders over top of it. Every single time he made a �media� appearance (they used to call that propaganda in the really bad days) it was to threaten and promise more of the same. And his people generally followed through, or at least made the attempt, over and over again going all the way back to 1992. Do you see the pattern here? He gives no more orders, makes no more propaganda appearances. Who's next?
Ariana - �I hope that the people in Pakistan ask America...�
R � They had better start thinking about begging for mercy and at the same time explaining in excruciating detail why, where, and who was hiding Osama bin Doubletapped going all the way back to 2001. Our Democrat Party presidents have a long habit of launching massive wars of overwhelming planet wide fire power when they're angered, or just looking to distract the electorate. Be grateful that it was only our very best small teams...so far. A mere flick of the finger at a pest on the shoulder of Pakistan. Maybe next time we take the entire arm. We'll be wanting the tail section of that downed chopper back as well.
Ariana - �this question WHAT ON HELL HAS OBAMA DONE
R � Stop screaming. Your last name wouldn't happen to be Hudson, would it? Never mind, don't answer that, it's an Aliens III reference you might not understand. Whether by accident or malice aforethought President Obama, building on the work of President Bush, has taken the heart of a many headed beast, and each have taken many heads. It will not die overnight, there is still much rough work yet to come. WW2 did not end on June 6th, 1944.

Arianna, you sound to me to be almost as pusillanimous as the Pakistanis you are now trying to defend.
Yes, the Frankenstein (which is AQ) that Pakistan has created is about to turn on its 'maker.'
Too bad for those people there. Who do they shiver at the most. Could it be US, or India or AQ or a combination thereof?
Posted by JT at May 7, 2011 12:54 AM ET:
First, I will post a thought I put on a different thread earlier:
"We mean it this time." If this was not serious, that would be funny indeed. Sounds like little kids.
Second, I wish the media would be picking up on the absolutely stupid quick release of info on the treasure trove of intel. As I posted earlier this week, the only decent explanation (which seems to have been proven not to be the case) would have been if there really had not been any treasure trove at all, and the announcement was simply to stir up communications and movement . . . .
Third, is the small number of Taliban significant attacks so far in their "Spring offensive" significant in itself? If so, that may turn out to be very very good news. The popular uprisings across the Middle East and OBL's demise may be helping much more than initially thought.

Actually, those AQ guys are quite smart. They've figured out, quite correctly, that in the end it was those double-faced Paki benefactors of theirs who did their late, lamented Dear Leader in because Uncle Sam, tiring of being taken for a ride, finally put a gun to the head of Kayani, Pasha & Co. and said: "Enough of your monkey tricks! We'll do it our way now and don't you dare to even whisper!" After all, Obama, Panetta and McRaven are pretty smart people too!
So, it is quite natural that those AQ guys and their other unsavoury friends belonging to the 'franchises' and companies' should be mightily pissed off with the successors of H.E. Gen. Parvez Musharraf, former Chief of Army Staff and President of Pakistan, for not having the nerve or the skill to play the Great Game known as Deception as adroitly and as skillfully as Tricky Mush did for eight long years! Of course, once in a while even Tricky Mush was caught with his pants down and had to cough up the odd KSM, al-Libbi, etc., much to the chagrin of good ol' Dr. Zawahiri, but certainly never, ever the Biggest Fish of them all!
The legal folks can figure this out better but, somewhere, one thought there was a magistrate's notice or some such thing that sought the presence of ol' Tricky Mush to answer a few questions regarding the death of Benazir Bhutto. Tell you what, a set of such notices should now be sent from the courts to Tricky Mush and his bosom pals to answer a few questions about who exactly it was who protected and sheltered UBL since he fled from those caves in Tora Bora in the winter of 2001. The latest seems to be that Shuja Pasha, a trifling lad in comparison to the venerable but 'evergreen' Tricky Mush, is heading West to try and smoothen a few ruffled feathers and, who knows, answer a few uncomfortable questions as well in the process. But all the treasure troves recovered from the compound in Abbotabad would pale into insignificance if Triky Mush were compelled to spill the beans in a court of law with a grand jury waiting in the wings.

@ariana...you must've been not born yet or just a baby the last time the US attempted to coordinate with Pakistan. The fact is they're actions have smelled of corruption and of being unreliable.
Remember...if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck...then it must be a duck.
Bottom line...the Pakis CANNOT be trusted.
Posted by George at May 7, 2011 12:31 PM ET:
I think maybe a few Pakistani officials may have known about him but not too many. They all would have had to be on his payroll. Anyone who knows anything about the Islamic world knows that Bin Laden does not enjoy widespread support and that money always comes before religious fanaticism. If Bin Laden's location was widely known in Pakistan, it is assured that someone would (or did) spill the beans for the reward money.
Posted by Jonesy at May 7, 2011 2:04 PM ET:
Pakistan has been actively helping AQ and the Taliban for years. They just got caught red handed though. I say we stop funding the Pakis and increase funding to India. Every single time we involve the Pakis in operations the other side gets tipped off! Is this mere coincidence? I think not.
AQ and the Taliban are a bunch of cowards and murderers and I hope and pray they all rot in Hell. Osama hid behind his wife, what a hero he is.
Posted by Infidel4LIFE at May 7, 2011 3:07 PM ET:
We had EVERY right. OBL got off easy. The problem is Pakistan. A "quid pro quo" is in order when it comes to aid. P-stan's nuclear arsenal is their real target. Given the militancy in the Pak army and ISI, this is a real possibility. Hamid Gul played a part in this. I really dislike this man. He knew. We will we ever be told?

Jose - If your intent was to praise Rita Katz and SITE, why did you link to the openly Jew hating conspiracy mongers, terrorist supporters, and pathological liars of wakeupfromyourslumber?

UPDATE: Living with Oral Allergy Syndrome: A Gluten and Meat-Free Cookbook for Wheat, Soy, Nut, Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Allergies is now available on Amazon.com. Clicking on the book title or image will take you directly to the Amazon page.
So I have a super exciting announcement to make! I mean, it's exciting for me, and hopefully some of you will find it exciting, too. I've been holding off on sharing this until I was sure it was going to happen, and it was well on its way, but happening it is, and now it's well on its way.
I'm in the process of writing an Oral Allergy Syndrome cookbook, and not only will it include some of my best recipes to date (almost none of which you've seen here on the blog) but it will have TWO FULL CHAPTERS of research on oral allergy syndrome (the leading cause of food allergies) and SIX CHAPTERS OF RECIPES.
Yep. Two totally packed chapters (approx 40 pages!) focused entirely around the condition that causes fresh fruit and vegetable allergies, as well as allergies to wheat, nuts, soy and other related things. These chapters represent the last several years of my research delving into scientific and medical journals with published studies on OAS. Furthermore, this book is endorsed by a doctor and will be sporting a foreword from them!
But I'm telling you this now because I want your input!
UPDATE JULY 27 As a sampler, you can check out some photoshoots for the upcoming book here (note, this will be updated regularly as photoshoots are currently underway):
Chilled Pear Soup
Fruit Popsicles (Rocket Pops and Purple Popsicles)
Wheat/Gluten Free Asparagus Flatbread
I want to hear from you!
It's true! Now that I've put together most of my research and am in the process of photographing food, formatting, and writing furiously, I want to hear from you all if you think I'm missing something, or if there's something you'd really like to see.
I know not all of my readers have OAS, but this book isn't just for OAS'ers alone. ALL of the recipes are gluten and meat free (and most have other allergy-free options, just like my recipes here on the site), so if you happen to be looking for a new GF, meat-free cookbook this applies to you, too!
Why am I writing a book on Oral Allergy Syndrome?
Two reasons: I myself had to struggle for many years, first to discover the cause of my numerous physical ailments and then to learn to manage it. I've spent years researching every article and published study I can find on it. Most people don't have the resources, time or ability to do this and by putting my findings into plain English I hope that this book will help others avoid some of the frustration and suffering I had to undergo.
Secondly, oral allergy syndrome is THE leading cause of food allergies and people need to be aware of that. I hope this book raises awareness and prompts more research on OAS to help determine a solution of sorts, or at least a greater understanding and awareness. I would like to assure people: "no, you are not crazy for thinking you are allergic to lettuce or apples or that almonds make your tongue feel, well, fuzzy, and you aren't just making it up to get attention!"
When will the book be published?
I've been working on this for quite some time, and hope to have it done this summer. (Update July 27: we are currently aiming for a publication date at the end of August/early September) In the time leading up to my hazy publication deadline, I'll be doing a series of posts on the process of self-publishing a cookbook, as well sharing bits of research from the book, and tidbits from the photo shoots.
What will the book contain?
So far, the topics have been determined by my own curiosity about OAS, as well as the many, many questions and comments I've received on my Oral Allergy Syndrome page. If you'd like to know more, or want to see something I haven't listed here, please let me know in the comments section below!
The simple outline for the first two chapters (approx 40 pages of info!) is as such:
If you'd like to see some of my research and writing on OAS, you can check out these posts:
Allergic to Lettuce?!
Oral Allergy Syndrome, Wheat Allergies & Your Cosmetics
Celiac Disease, Wheat Allergies, Oral Allergy Syndrome & Sprouted Grains

Also, I recently discovered an Oral Allergy Syndrome group on Facebook you may be interested in. The folks there are very friendly (myself included ;)

All of that is true. Also true: With the current expansive fawning over Grizzly Bear it could be easy to temporarily forget about Dan Rossen's Department Of Eagles. It gets more difficult, though, when In Ear Park's title track is soundtracking Soft Bank commercials featuring Brad Pitt and a sensitive sumo wrestler. It gets slightly easier again when you find out the commercial's only airing in Japan, but more people watch YouTube than television (unsubstantiated claim), so that's not a legit hurdle. Anyone care to interpret?
The less handsome version:
In Ear Park is out via 4AD.

Claire Freddoso Is New Student Activities Coordinator
Claire Freddoso, a (2005) graduate of Marian High School in Mishawaka and a recent graduate of the University of Dallas (Texas) BA 2009 has returned to Michiana to take the post of Student Activities Coordinator at Holy Cross College.
Majoring in Theology at Dallas, Claire was active in student life as an RC (Resident Coordinator) and in campus ministry. In her new role at Holy Cross she'll help coordinate, promote, and develop activities that create a vibrant community and unite student constituents (on campus students, those who live in off campus apartments, and those who commute from home). She will work with the Student Government Association (SGA) to plan and sponsor dances and parties, intramural sports, cultural events, fundraisers, and student excursions such as ski trips, bowling nights, beach outings and other adventures.
"I've already been working with many of the SGA officers, and I look forward to getting to know all of our students. I'm here to give them the tools they need to plan student events and activities, both on campus and off." Claire said as she described her vision of student activities.
Claire is married to Stephen Freddoso, a graduate of St. Joseph High School and a recent alumni of the University of Notre Dame.

Edmund Waller
The National Portrait Gallery, London
In contrast to Elizabeth I, who breakfased each day on bread, meat, and a gallon of ale, Queen Catherine [of Braganza] was soon known as a tea-drinking queen - England's first.
In 1663 the poet and politician Edmund Waller wrote a poem in honor of Queen Catherine for her birthday:
Venus her Myrtle, Phoebus has his bays;
Tea both excels, which she vouchsafes to praise.
The best of Queens, the best of herbs, we owe
To that bold nation which the way did show
To the fair region where the sun doth rise,
Whose rich productions we so justly prize.
The Muse's friend, tea does our fancy aid,
Regress those vapors which the head invade,
And keep the palace of the soul serene,
Fit on her birthday to salute the Queen.

Our goal is to provide universal access to all Kenyon College programs, activities and events. The level of facility access on our historic campus is quite variable, so it is essential to consider facility access as well as publicity and media formats when planning events that will be universally accessible to all guests or community members.
This accessibility guide is designed to assist you when planning events on Kenyon's campus. The guide is intended for use by all event planners including: Admissions, Development, Parent and Alumni Affairs, Provosts' and President's offices, Off-Campus Studies, Career Development, LBIS, Faculty and student lectureships, Student Affairs, student council, student activities, service and Greek organizations.
Include an access statement in your PR materials about who to contact regarding program accessibility. Designate one staff member to handle all accommodation requests.
Requests for accessible meeting space or venue: Make sure the location is completely accessible for the participant by using the checklist below. Please reference the Building Accessibility Ratings list to verify or locate accessible venues on campus.
AV media or media clips need to be captioned for participants with hearing impairments. Captioning of older media requires a 9-10 day turn around. Contact the ODS for assistance with setting up closed captioning.
Auxiliary aids and services such as enlarged text formats, braille, assisted listening systems, sign language interpreter, remote captioning or handouts in an alternative format can be arranged by contacting Erin Salva, Coordinator of Student Accessibility Support Services, at firstname.lastname@example.com or (740) 427-5453.
Confirm adequate signage directing attendees to accessible entrances and restrooms.
Check to ensure that the entrance has smooth doorway threshold, railing, ramp, or on-grade access.
Confirm proximity of accessible parking spaces near the entrance or drop-off area.
Confirm route of travel to the building is properly signed, level and clear of obstructions.
Confirm at least one fully accessible male and female restroom or accessible unisex restroom.
If the location for your event or program has multiple floors, confirm an accessible elevator.
If there is a stage or platform, confirm it is accessible for speakers and presenters in a wheelchair.
Check to ensure that participants can navigate easily in the space. There should be 36" clear space between rows of chairs and removable seating areas for persons who are in a wheelchair.
If your event site or program does not meet the ADA access guidelines above the SASS can assist you in setting up auxiliary aids and services or relocating your program to a venue with universal accessibility for speakers, presenters, and participants.

Coworker nurse trying to ruin my reputation...
1May 15, '12 by HM7380I've been a nurse for 5 years, and at my present facility for 2. I've come to find out in the last 2 weeks, that another nurse (same position as me - floor nurse) has been spreading lies about me throughout the facility, as well as to other nurses in the area. She is saying I'm 'on drugs' and 'stealing narcotics'. This is a SERIOUS allegation, and I am NOT!! She's basing her entire theory on the fact I give OUT more PRN meds than she does, but this is because I'm actually on the floor, interacting with the patients, who ask me for meds, whereas she sits behind the desk and ignores the call lights. She also used to be an ADON elsewhere, and has the mentality that getting other people in trouble makes HER look better, so she constantly does it.
What should I do? I'm terrified I'm going to be canned for something I haven't done. According to another nurse, shes already gone to the DON with these accusations a while back, but nobody in management has said anything to me. My 2 closest nurse friends have conflicting opinions over what I should do. One says to confront the girl with a witness, then let it blow over. The other says I should go to the DON/Administrator and make a huge deal over it. I'm uncomfortable with the latter, as the upper management and I don't really get along, and I don't want to bring up anything that would give them a reason to terminate me. (I work in a den of snakes. Seriously.)
Fiancee says quit immediately and find another job, because this one is so stressful on multiple levels, and I've been wanting to leave anyway.
Please help! My career/license is at stake here...Joe V likes this. -
17May 15, '12 by caliotter3The sooner you find another job, the happier you will be. And I would consult an attorney if this was happening to me. Perhaps a cease and desist letter from an attorney could get this woman to shut her mouth.
20May 15, '12 by BluegrassRNIf you aren't actually doing these things and you've been documenting appropriately, I fail to see how your career or license is at stake.
You have no proof that she is actually saying these things or that she has discussed them with management; only rumor. Based on your description of the situation, I would merely continue to do my job. Document accurately, be a professional, and ignore this crazy woman. Do not feed the situation. I would, however, look for another job. Your current place of employment does not sound very healthy. -
9May 15, '12 by Been there,done thatBe VERY careful of your response to these accusations.
Right now you experiencing an emotional reaction...do NOT let it affect your rational decision.
You are the recipient of lateral violence.
Research this. Think it out. Co-workers cannot make a claim regarding your practice.. without a thorough investigation by management.
Most facilities have a grievance committee that you will be able to take these accusations to .. and respond to them in a professional setting.
Deep breaths.... and fiancee 's advice is also a knee jerk reaction. Is he a nurse?
I've truly "been there done that"... I made a huge mistake of giving up when lies were said about me.
Please PM me . -
14May 15, '12 by Been there,done thatQuote from BluegrassRNUnfortunately, these " crazy " accusers are way to often taken seriously.If you aren't actually doing these things and you've been documenting appropriately, I fail to see how your career or license is at stake.

2May 15, '12 by Andy Droidwhat about talking to administration, and demanding (asking nicely) for a urine / blood test be done to put this crap to bed once and for all?Code_VSA and TiddlDwink like this.
9May 15, '12 by leslie :-Dme?
if ignoring the accuser didn't work, i would write a letter to her, sharing what you've heard...
and remind her of the legal implications of slander.
keep emotion out of it, keep defensiveness out of it.
short, sweet, to the point.
and cc your manager.
whether you are doing anything or not, nurses indeed can sabotage another's career.
keep your head up, and continue to be your professional best.
much luck to you.
leslie -
6May 15, '12 by TakeTwoAspirin, MSN, RN, APRNHas it occurred to you that the DON has not spoken with you about this because they don't believe it either? All this is just speculation at this point any way. If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear!
14May 15, '12 by Patti_RNNot to challenge another person's good intentioned advice, but do not put anything in writing no matter how polite, true, or what your motivations are. These documents can come back and bite you when you least expect it, and in spite of how carefully worded or intentioned they were.
If these rumors are known to many of the staff and this person has gone to the DON with her allegations, you need to be proactive in your response. Make an appointment with your director--you may wish to do this on your own time, and when the accuser is not on the floor. Tell the director that you've heard that 'someone' has been talking about you, making false allegations and you need her advice for your response. You can say, "I hear there are rumors circulating that I'm diverting meds, or that I have a chemical addiction, and I want to give you my word that that is completely baseless and unfounded." But, don't mention names, don't react emotionally, don't sound threatening, and don't mention quitting or that you work with snakes.
The best course is asking her advice and guidance, "What should I do?" This will put the ball in her court, allow her to be your advocate, and hopefully she will address this issue with the person spreading rumors.
Good luck! -
1May 15, '12 by HM7380Is this something I should consider seeing a lawyer about, like was suggested in the first response? Perhaps a 'cease and desist' letter, or maybe a slander lawsuit? I'm concerned this is damaging my career, especially since nurses who don't even work there are contacting me asking about it.threebrats46 likes this.
