USA RN to Melbourne!!! - page 4
Hello fellow nurses!!! I'm a USA RN with 1 yr med/surg experience. I already got Australia RN license and passed ANMAC's skill assessment for immigration!!! I'm planning to move to a big... Read More
1Jul 29, '11 by ceridwyn GuideAustralia is a multicultural country. Most of the rest of the world except original people from the UK have some sort of skin colour. I live in Melbourne, that has indigenous, sudanese, people from zimbawe? people from india, pakistan, maldives tahiti, south Americain and as a white skinned Australian often is in minority....do you think you will stand out?
One ward I worked on recently, I was the only citizen born here! of 8 nurses of all skin colours, 1 American and we all worked really well as a team on a busy ward.
We love American nurses, they say things so well and loud......
Just watch what you say though,
If you start comparing the United states to Australia, and telling others how much better it is 'back home and how backward Australia is and say words like, how quaint and how darling...... you will get �ventually''have someone will bite back, skin colour will have nothing to do with it.

Australians tend to think of ourselves as egalitarian and accepting, and we're certainly a multicultural lot, but the only people who think there's no racism here are white (and that certainly doesn't exempt anyone - as we all know, prejudice can fly in any and every direction).
For the most part colleagues will be fine and prejudice will not be overt, but there are feral patients and unpleasant people everywhere. Your odds are better in the most multicultural cities (eg Melbourne, Sydney), but there are lovely people everywhere, too.
The Australian sense of humour can be sarcastic and direct, and a lot of the cultural baggage is different, which can cause offence when none was meant. For the most part what staff will care about is how well you do your job, and how well yiou fit in to the ward culture. Good luckcarolmaccas66 likes this. -
0Jul 30, '11 by Aussie-R.N.Up here in QLD we employ 'pre-reg' AINs. They have a little bit of a scope of practice but not much past vital signs & pressure area care. Also in QLD nurses venipuncture is not included in under-graduate education so is a post-reg course.
I first worked as new grad at Snt Vincents & the Mercy Private hospitals & totally loved it. Melbourne is a great place to live and work. Enjoy & welcome to Oz. -

Yes, even after several years I struggle at times with the line between humor and racism. Just the other night a work ..one of the Cardiologists shouts out and points of me in front of patients and staff..."YOU AMERICANS ARE RUINING THE WORLD" heads were turning at me in response. I was speechless . He went on to say it because of the failure of senate/house to pass the legislation that if the USA went into default . If default happened his investments would crumble and the new house he was building would be in jeopardy with the bank loan.
Now this doc and I have a great working relationship, and so based on that I was reasonably sure he wasn't meaning this in a cruel way or directed at me personally. I just kept my mouth shut, and let him and others have their laughs.
I NEVER make reference to life better in USA (as if! ) or that skills, education or anything is better . NO COMPARISIONS. I've seen nurse's from USA, Holland, UK ...make that mistake. I never say I miss my family or friends or any foods/holidays that might be associated with the USA....heck outside of this forum I never say the words...United States, USA, America, American , ect....I only offer that if asked where I'm from.
Australia is a great place to live and work and that outweighs everything else for me . I still am amazed at how much safer it is here! Some Americans will flourish here , others will sink and be miserable. Sure that applies to all who have came here . I will openly say this...just because your children have dark skin it will NOT be assumed they are gang bangers, packing a gun , and they won't be exposed to that lifestyle here either. Your children will have the SAME great opportunities here that all children in Australia have. I think Australia really embraces multicultural , quality education, and opportunities here for those who want it and except the Australian way of living. If their young enough ...heck they will acquire the cool Aussie accent too!talaxandra likes this. -
0Jul 31, '11 by talaxandraIf we worked together I might ask you what you think the Republicans are trying to achieve, because I assume you've got a greater insight than I into US party politics, but I'd be pretty uncomfortable with "You American's are ruining the world" and I don't think you've personally got any power over the global economy!
I've just come back from a quick trip to WA and already miss Baby Ruth bars, so feel free to whinge about foods from home to me -

0Sep 18, '11 by American in OzConsider getting the book "Living Abroad in Australia" by James M. Lane. It's not specific toward nurses, but as an American who moved to NSW a few months ago, I found it a handy resource on what to expect -- including some of the stereotypes you might face as an American. It also talks about costs of living, etc. Good luck!
2Sep 18, '11 by PMFB-RN[quote=nursegirl62;5276555]I have been in Melbourne in one of the ICUs of the large hospitals mentioned here for over 2 years. I won't paint a rosy picture for you of my experience.
Melbourne it's is VERY expensive to live, one of the most expensive cities in the world. Also, as an American be prepared to hear some very racists comments about others. You will be subjected to many here who consider American nursing schools and the RNs coming from them as inferior. Americans in general are NOT liked here in Australia, if in doubt spend some time reading comments online that are posted in the large Melbourne newspapers. Took me several attempts to secure a flat, and was denied 2 times solely because I was American!
*** I met and married my wife in Austraila. We lived there for over a year in Brisbane Queensland. I did not work as a nurse but I can second the other aspects of being an American in Oz. My experience is that Americans are not well liked at all. Barely tolerated at best and met with open hostility at worst. I experienced this dislike from people I had never interacted with at all so it is not just me. Also agree on the racism. I regularly heard highly racist comments in public and even on TV & radio that where shocking to my American ears. I can't speak to US nurses being considered inferior but I left with impression that Americans, American things, American institutions, and American education were considered decidedly inferior in the eyes of Austrailians. I have to say that I was treated wonderfully by most everybody who I got to know and worked with and made many friends.
I absolutly loved Austraila. We spent a lot of time in some very rural areas of Queensland. My inlaws own a large (by American standards) station (ranch) near Blackall in central Queensland. I very much appreciate the self sufficient, can-do sprit I encountered among those living and working in the remote and rural areas.Last edit by PMFB-RN on Sep 18, '11ICUman and carolmaccas66 like this. -
1Sep 18, '11 by PMFB-RNQuote from Mcadamia*** Ah, you mean like large parts of Alaska. I work with a nurse whose previosu job was as a traveling nurse working in rural villages in Alaska. It was no uncommon for her to have to use air planes, snow machines, dogs sleds and boats to reach her patients. She was usually the only person with significan medical training for hundreds of miles and she too wore many hats.But I truly doubt that any American nurse in America would be expected to be not only the ONLY health care personnel for hundreds of Kilometres but also the ambulance officer, social worker and all around go to person. The nurse in a place like Bedourie HAS to wear multiple hats and basically be whatever is requiredcarolmaccas66 likes this.

The 2010 session of the Georgia General Assembly came to an end late last Thursday night, several hours after lawmakers finalized a $17.9 billion state budget for fiscal year 2011. Having started Jan. 11, this was the longest legislative session on record since the 1880s.
Animal-rescue groups from Liberty County and surrounding areas, while working for a very noble cause, are slowly tearing down their own credibility. The infighting among these groups is hurting their reputations and, possibly, turning off potential donors.
The Georgia Legislature has finally approved a funding mechanism for transportation. Next comes the jockeying for placement on project lists among advocates, agencies and authorities for the various modes. Just because there's finally an opportunity for transportation funding, however, doesn't mean throwing good money after bad. Taxpayers must be vigilant and demand sound solutions and bang for their buck – or their 1 percent sales tax, to be precise.
Some recent thoughts, in no particular order. No particular order at all.
Well, there you go! I spend time and take up valuable space in this paper telling people that offshore oil well drilling has a sterling reputation of success where oil spills are a concern and bingo! We now have the first serious oil rig spill in the history of the industry. I hope and pray the flow is stopped before the slick reaches the fragile eco-systems of the Chaudeleurs Islands National Wildlife Refuge.
Just a few weeks ago, most seemed glad to hear that President Barack Obama planned to open up areas off the Atlantic - and Georgia - coast to offshore drilling for oil. But there should be some second thoughts and careful assessment in the wake of the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, which is getting worse by the day.
Now that the legislative session is (drum roll, please) history, it is time to turn our sights to the governor's race.
In 2001 saltwater fishermen in Richmond Hill formed a chapter of the Coastal Conservation Association or CCA. The objective of the CCA is to conserve, promote and enhance the present and future availability of these coastal resources for the benefit and enjoyment of the general public. CCA is a national organization with chapters in 17 coastal states. From the very beginning Richmond Hill has had a very strong chapter. Today there are 150 local members. Four of these members represent the state CCA board: Mike Odom, Fraser Bowen, Coley Bryant and Jimmy Roberts. Mike Odom represents Richmond Hill and Georgia ...
Last week was Georgia Cities Week - a Georgia Municipal Association creation that is aimed at informing the public on the importance of cities. Nearly 100 municipalities in the state participate in the event in one form or another, including Hinesville, Midway, Flemington and others.
Each day across Georgia, the state Department of Corrections prepares enough meals to feed the population of the city of Marietta. Breakfast and lunch are served to nearly 60,000 adult prisoners. Paying for 31 state prisons annually costs taxpayers $1 billion, including the cost to manage 150,000 parolees.
When we think of forests, majestic trees, precious wildlife and clean, fresh air might come to mind. We probably don't think about the water we drink.
Day 37 (Tuesday, April 20, 2010): With only four days remaining in this year's session, we get down to business today by passing the amended FY 2010 budget that runs through June 30 of this year. The historic drop in state revenue is evident here as the FY 2010 budget has been reduced to 2004 and 2005 levels as revenues have fallen $1.6 billion since the original 2010 budget was passed last April. Totaling $17.7 billion, the average agency has been cut 18 percent while vital services such as Medicaid and Education have been cut only 9 ...
The 2010 legislative session of the Georgia General Assembly is nearing an end after months of hard work and dedication. Major milestones were completed this week and now with day 38 completed, the marathon is almost finished and the finish line is in sight. With two days left, this week legislators met some of our goals for the session. The General Assembly has now balanced the budget for the state, passed a transportation funding bill, and passed ethics reform.
School-aged children make a variety of independent choices daily pertaining to their routines and behavior. While parents usually set guidelines and ultimately hold veto power, most students are free to decide who to befriend, what to eat for lunch, how much to study, what activities to participate in and how to handle conflict. However, one choice Liberty County School System students don't face is what to wear to school. And that's OK.
Editor, On behalf of the St. James Community Church family, we would like to give thanks to everyone for coming out to our church-appreciation banquet that was held Saturday, Dec. 6.
Allen Peake is a man on a mission. The five-term Republican state representative from Macon is the driving force behind proposed legislation to legalize medical marijuana in Georgia. He may succeed this year after suffering a setback in 2014 when the House and Senate got into a bit of political brinksmanship at the last minute and failed to pass his bill, which had sailed through the House with only four negative votes.
I know, most resolutions are already ditched by Jan. 8, but if recycling more or being more environmentally minded was one of your resolutions (and it should have been), then I have an opportunity for you.
My parents, according to the world's definition of "cool," were not. Neither drank, nor did either ever possess a credit card. Groceries and clothing were paid for in cash, utilities paid by check, and the only monthly payments they ever allowed themselves were a mortgage for a house, a short-term loan for another farm, and a couple of cars bought, over time, and paid for quickly.
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was founded in 1909. It is the nation's oldest and largest civil-rights organization. Its members throughout the United States and the world are the pre-eminent advocates for civil and human rights in their communities, conducting voter mobilization and monitoring equal-opportunity enforcement in the public and private sectors.
"What I am saying is, we spend too much time, we waste time, the city's time that the people have us up here to do. We waste that time. We looked at it the first of October and November and December, we're still going over the same stuff. Why don't we go on and do what we're supposed to do? Get it approved and move on to the next issue that this council is supposed to be doing".

LUDHIANA: A free medical check up and vaccination camp was organized for stray and pet dogs by Satya Sai Sewa Samiti on Sunday in Dharampura, on Shingaar Cinema Road.
The Samiti organizes such camps in different areas of the city every third Sunday. More than 50 dogs were checked and vaccinated at the camp.
Ankita Garg, a resident of Shivaji Nagar, who brought her pug to the camp said she cares a lot for her pet but wasn't getting time to take it for vaccination because of her studies. She was delighted to get her pet vaccinated at the camp.
Sunny Kalra, a resident of Kidwai Nagar, said learning about the free vaccination being provided at the camp he informed his two other friends who utilized the opportunity.
Convener of Satya Sai Sewa Samiti, Rajan Puri, said stray and pet dogs are provided treatment by an experienced doctor. The camps are organized on Sundays for maximum number of people to utilise the facility, Puri added.
Dr Deepak Manan, coordinator of the camp, said residents of every locality in the city are afraid of stray dogs and some people who own pet dogs are not aware about the vaccination schedule for their dogs. People are informed how to keep their pets healthy at the camp, he said.

Things I liked:Accurate, uniform, clean. Things I liked:Very accurate, cut very clean holes in targets, very consistent size/weight, no bent skirts. Excellent pellets. Very clean. Things I would have changed:Screw tip can Things I liked:Like all H&N pellets, these are extremely clean. Believe the "hand selected quality" statement on the can, they are totally consistent snugness in the chamber and have no deformations. I have found various H&N pellets to be the most accurate pellets in all my airguns.
I really like the bar rating on the cans for accuracy and distance, and find them to be spot on. Things I would have changed:Screw top can What others should know:H&N's are somewhat expensive...but divide by 500 and how much does a shot really cost? Forget cost, nothing is more rewarding than seeing well-aimed shot after shot go through the same hole! But you do have to change targets a lot so you can still see POI.

I have still no idea but I think Naruto and Sasuke will be friends again. And everything will be peaceful.
I think the ending would end up a happy ending
Naruto becoming a hokage, sasuke becomes nice again or ends up dead...Kakashi would finnaly ends up with a girl...shikamaru and temari are now going out or married...everything ends peacefully...
What kind of ending do you guys think'll happen?
I have still no idea but I think Naruto and Sasuke will be friends again. And everything will be peaceful.
For the sake of my nakama!Tsunayoshi Sawada
Thank you for your reply~
Well, I've heard many friends said that Sasuke will die in the ending
I would like to see a sad ending, like Naruto and Sasuke killing each other. To me how they where putting everything in place one or both of them are going to die. If Naruto does live I would like to see him go out or married Hinata or Sakura. I am more of a Hinata person. I just hope that they don't pull something like they did with Pain. No matter what the ending should be good, but I think they got another year before it ends.
92% of teens moved to rap. I am one of the 8% rebelions
quite agree with you!!! I'm also a Hinata person! And I think Naruto Manga will just be a Fail Tail if it comes to a peace ending.

I dont know right now.
I am kind to my friends and to animals.
love can be cruel
Anime rules!
I done like ending of any show ... but if this happen it will be happy ending
i think saskue will die..naruto become a hokage...kakashi stays like that...sakura dies....hinata and naruto end up together...temari and shikamaru...yeah maybe something like this....but naruto is such an annoying anime so they might end up killing naruto -.-

"I used to be a Republican, but I don't know what I am now," Leverett said in Gardendale on Thursday, speaking to a group of reporters attending the Society of Environmental Journalists' annual conference. "I'm sympathetic toward those who want to preserve a little bit of our world."
Watch this video of a flare that threatened the residents of Gardenville in October. It's not the first time this has happened.
Rather than try to operate in a more reasonable, safe and respectful manner, the oil & gas industry tries to demonize people like Leverett. And the Texas GOP can't hear Leverett because their ears are stuffed too full of oil & gas money.

America topped $21 billion. Listed below are the top selling video games of all time, as of January 2009.
1. Wii Sports
Developer: Nintendo Entertainment Analysis and Development
Platform: Nintendo Wii
Year of Release: 2006
Copies Sold: 41.65 million
In every country except Japan, when you buy a Nintendo Wii you get Wii Sports. This accounts for most of the game's now-historic success. Still, if the game (and its platform) weren't good, perhaps some of its 40-million-plus sales might have gone to a rival. Wii Sports includes five separate sports games: tennis, baseball, bowling, golf, and boxing. As is characteristic to the Wii, the games are simple to learn and make use of the Wii "remote." Players use the remote to mimic the real life actions required to play the sports.
Super Mario Bros.
2. Super Mario Bros.
Developer: Nintendo Entertainment Analysis and Development
Platform: Nintendo Entertainment System
Year of Release: 1985
Copies Sold: 40.24 million
Super Mario Bros. is a classic in every sense of the word. Its story has been turned into TV shows, a film, comic books, and more. Even its theme music—composed Koji Kondo—is familiar to non-gamers and has lately been performed by symphonies around the world. While Super Mario Bros.'s original platform, the Nintendo Entertainment System, has long been obsolete, Nintendo has kept the game fresh be releasing sequels, special editions, and spin-offs that span all of Nintendo's subsequent platforms, from the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, to Game Boy, to the Wii.
Pokemon Red, Green and Blue
3. Pokemon Red, Green and Blue
Developer: Game Freak
Platform: Game Boy
Year of Release: 1996
Copies Sold: 31.38 million
Before it made the leap to the big and small screen and as an endless array of consumer products, Pokemon was a role-playing video game for Nintendo Game Boy. The three versions listed here are the first three-and best-selling-entries in the Pokemon franchise. At the time of its release, Nintendo didn't have many expectations for Pokemon, as it was coming out on the Game Boy, a platform that was quickly losing popularity. But Pokemon caught on, and managed to extend the life of Game Boy and give Nintendo another money-making franchise.
4. Tetris
Developers: Alexey Pajitnov, Dmitry Pavlovsky and Vadim Gerasimov
Platform: Game Boy
Year of Release: 1989
Copies Sold: 30.26 million
So simple it's hard to believe it hasn't been around since the dawn of time (or at least the invention of the wheel), Tetris was actually developed in Russia and then purchased by Nintendo. It debuted on Game Boy and has since appeared on pretty much every platform imaginable, including cell phones and graphing calculators. For those living in a cave for the last 20 years, Tetris is a geometric puzzle game in which the player has to arrange falling shapes in the right manner, or else the shapes will begin to pile up. If the pile reaches the top of the screen, the game is over.
Duck Hunt
5. Duck Hunt
Developer: Nintendo Research and Development 1
Platform: Nintendo Entertainment System
Year of Release: 1984
Copies Sold: 28.31 million
Any kid who grew up around the Nintendo Entertainment System probably remembers the bright orange "gun" used to play Duck Hunt. That gun set Duck Hunt apart, because you used it—instead of a more traditional controller—to play the game. If you aimed the gun right, you could hit one of the digital ducks flying across the TV screen. In the 1980's, it was miraculous. Although Duck Hunt wasn't immediately praised critically, it was bundled with Nintendo so every gamer got a chance to play it. Now, there are literally hundreds of games that offer a much more advanced (and more violent) "shooting" experience, but Duck Hunt helped bring a hair-trigger to the masses.
Pokemon Gold
6. Pokemon Gold and Silver
Developer: Game Freak
Platform: Game Boy
Year of Release: 1999
Copies Sold: 23.11 million
We've already covered the first Pokemon-the Red, Green, and Blue editions sitting at No. 3 on the list of all-time top-selling video games. The Gold and Silver versions are extensions of their forebears with some new wrinkles, including an internal clock that tweaked the game play enough to keep it fresh.
Nintendogs Dalmatian
7. Nintendogs
Developer: Nintendo Entertainment Analysis and Development
Platform: Nintendo DS
Year of Release: 2005
Copies Sold: 21.60 million

I'm trying to choose a new hosting service for a WordPress blog, I've stumbled upon several services and most of them look good, so I was trying to find reviews from current user to see what they have to say, is there any website where I can find people's thoughts on the different web hosting companies / services?.
Take the 2-minute tour
Webmasters Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for pro webmasters. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Web Hosting Talk is a good forum and you should be able to find user reviews for most hosts. My current host's participation in their review thread convinced me to sign up. They have ended up being the best host I've dealt with over the past 8 years. |
A few Google searches can also be helpful. I ended up using AN Hosting for shared hosting, but Googled things like Try to find a host that hasn't created major problems for all their customers or suffered significant downtime, etc. But keep in mind that any large business will have some negative reviews. No host is perfect and you'll probably have to overlook a few negative comments. |

"This soup was awesome!! I used broccoli too & made vegan fettucine with tofutti cream cheese as an accompaniment. Kids & adults had a hard time deciding which recipe they liked better, but all was eaten :o). Thanks for this healthy, delicious recipe Enjolinfam"
"I made this for 4 adults & 4 kids last night. It reminded me of Dr. Praeger's broccoli cakes I buy at my natural grocers, it was good, but alot of trouble to make for something I could buy. I ate mine with ketchup on top, another person ate his with sour cream. I do appreciate the recipe & try to cook vegan as often as I can!!"
"I love this Kris ;o)"
"Deelicious! I'm eating 2 right now! Thank u Smiley Froggy! Next time, I'm going to add some rolled oats!"
"Defrickinlicious!!! love, love, loved it! I am trying to be vegan 5 days a week, and could make this every week. The gravy recipe could be halved or quartered, it makes too much, unless you are saving some to eat with your Thanksgiving turkey, but that's not vegan is it? lol"
"sorry, I didn't like it at all..."

In "Building the World We Dream About," a Tapestry of Faith program
The work of building a just community means individually and collectively working in right relationship with people of historically marginalized groups and holding ourselves accountable for changing the things that create injustice. — Paula Cole Jones, contemporary Unitarian Universalist educator and antiracism trainer
This workshop presents contemporary stories involving Unitarian Universalist young adults that illustrate different approaches to resisting racism and systems of privilege and strengthening multicultural competency skills.
Participants work in groups to create skits that illustrate day-to-day scenarios involving issues of race and privilege, and consider how to become better able to respond to similar situations they encounter in their own lives.
Before leading this workshop, review the accessibility guidelines in the program Introduction under Integrating All Participants.

BERLIN, GERMANY: Staged in a packed convention room overflowing with people, food and alcohol, ShowStoppers played host to some of the leading consumer electronics companies on Thursday evening, from Amazon and Kobo to Wacom, Logitech and the makers behind e-Ink technology.
Amazon had a small stand where it promoted its Kindle apps for Android and iOS as well as its original Kindle Paperwhite eReader.
The Kindle Fire maker wasn't the only firm focusing on digital reading however, with Canadian rivals Kobo surprising everyone by unveiling the Kobo Arc 10 HD – a 10-inch Android tablet that was only announced at the end of last month.
Company officials ran through the tablet's reading mode, digital magazine storefront and innovative bookshelf view – which was partly developed by the Kobo-owned French company Aquafadas, all the while detailing some impressive specs.
The tablet, which is launching at the end of October for $399.99, offers a 2560 x 1600 resolution display, Android 4.2, Nvidia's quad-core 1.8GHz Tegra 4 processor, 2GB of RAM and support for Bluetooth 4.0 and Miracast for Wi-Fi media streaming.
Meanwhile, just days after Logitech announced its first accessory for Samsung's Galaxy Tab, Belkin followed suit by unveiling the Ultimate Keyboard for Samsung Tab 3 10.1.
Made of aluminium and with holes for accessing power and camera functions, the keyboard has a fixed back plate which doubles up as a stand, while a magnetic connection wakes the device when connect the tablet with the keyboard (much in the same way the iPad does when you open the Smart Cover). It will launch sometime in November for $129.
The firm has also worked on a range of other accessories for Samsung's smaller Galaxy Tabs, with standalone and folio cases to be released internationally in the next few weeks.
Fellow accessory manufacturer Otterbox is perhaps better-known for rugged mobile cases and took to ShowStoppers with some products that have been on the market for a few months.
The iPad Mini Defender is available for $69.99 and has a pop-out stand that allows for two different positions – typing or writing. Also, having acquired LifeProof in May, there was also a subsection of new cases from them, including the water-proof Nuud case for iPad.
The Kickstarter-funded 3Doodler caused quite a stir with its 3D drawing pen stylus, which allows users to draw in the air and create 3D objects. The pen has patent-pending technology which forms objects by letting the plastic 'ink' cool rapidly and become hard. The 3Doodler pen doesn't however come cheap at $99.99.
There was significantly less buzz around Zagg – probably due to the number of accessory makers at the show – but the Ireland-based firm still had a whole host of new designs for tablet owners.
One of which was simply called the 'Universal'; a light cover with integrated Bluetooth keyboard and which could be used as a stand. Charging is via micro USB and the keyboard case is now retailing for $69.99.
There was also a neat iPad mini folio version with a 130 degree adjustable hinge for folding the keyboard back on the tablet, and a Folio version for the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0.
One of the most innovative products on show at ShowStoppers was 'the world's thinnest keyboard' from CSR. Essentially displayed as a prototype to show what's possible, the UK-based CSR is talking with various device manufacturers in the hope of making it a real product. To find out more, check out our video from the show.
Kobo wasn't the only one showing new tablets at the technology party – graphic tablet specialist Wacom unveiled its latest collection of models — including the Cintiq Companion, the Intuos and the Intuos Pro. The firm also introduced its latest stylus, the Intous Creative Stylus for iPad (which offers pressure sensitivity and which was being used with Wacom's Bamboo app).

Burial suits the needs of many families and Drysdale Funerals can assist you to make arrangements to purchase a new gravesite or to use an existing one at any cemetery or memorial park.
We are also experienced in assisting families who require a crypt, vault or mausoleum space to meet their cultural needs.
Once you have decided to hold a burial, there are a few other decisions to make. Our funeral directors are committed to helping you make the right choices and will spend the time with you to explain all of the different options available, discuss alternatives or additions to the service, as well as answering all your questions.
A physical or permanent memorial in a cemetery or memorial garden has an important role to play in dealing with grief and is an important consideration when planning a burial. Drysdale Funerals experience in assisting families to make burial arrangements leads us to recommend these cemeteries:
We can also assist you with arrangements for any other cemetery in Queensland. Whatever your choices and preferences, Drysdale Funerals will help you to make the right decisions.
A viewing can be a special time for some families, and in many cultures they are a standard part of the funeral service.
A viewing is a time that relatives and friends can see their loved one before the funeral service to pay their respects and say private goodbyes. Special items can be placed in the coffin by family and friends which can be a meaningful and heartfelt gesture.
Our dedicated mortuary professionals ensure each person entrusted to us receives the best of care, and the deceased does not have to be dressed in a suit. We invite families to provide clothing for the deceased that captures their spirit – like their favourite team colours, or the gardening clothes they were always dressed in.
The funeral directors at Drysdale believe holding a viewing is a matter of choice and are happy to arrange for one at one of our funeral homes, at your church or any other appropriate venue, even the family home.
Drysdale Funeral providers are proud to be trusted by the families of the Sunshine Coast to provide funeral services of the highest quality, regardless of your cultural or religious background or the style of funeral you wish to arrange.
Funeral services are as varied as the lives of the individuals they are for. Each funeral has the possibility of being a unique experience which commemorates the life of a valued friend or loved one and can be tailored to meet your cultural, spiritual, emotional and personal preferences.
Funeral services styles differ. We have experience creating modern funerals, traditional funerals as well as funerals that meet specific cultural or religious needs. They can be held at churches or other houses of worship, at one of our chapels, or at the location of your choice. Whatever you decide is right for you and your family, you can be assured that your Drysdale funeral director will be there to help you every step of the way.
Many families hold a graveside service as part of their farewell to a loved one.
A graveside service can be part of a traditional funeral service, occurring after a service at another venue, or the graveside service can be the sole venue for the funeral service.
Drysdale Funerals are experienced at conducting graveside funeral services and will attend with respect and dignity.
You can still personalise the service to your cultural, spiritual, emotional and personal preferences. You can have special music played, release doves into the air or add any other special touches you think appropriate. We will give you the time to make the choices that are right for you and you can rely on Drydale's experienced and caring funeral directors to carry out all your wishes.
A memorial service offers family and friends the opportunity to remember and celebrate the life of the deceased, express their grief, and say their goodbyes, in an appropriate and respectful manner.
It may take place at the funeral home, the family home, a church, or even outdoors. This is a time to remember your loved one by gathering with friends and family.
The memorial service can often make a suitable addition to a private funeral service. A memorial service can also be held after a burial if this meets the needs of the family.
A family gathering or 'wake' held after the funeral service can be an important time for friends and relatives to gather together. A family gathering is a time to share memories, help family and friends deal with loss and to provide hospitality for those who may have travelled a great distance to be at the funeral service.
Drysdale's funeral directors can help remove the stress of putting on a family gathering by assisting in the organising of the occasion for you. We can help you with venues, catering and staff so you and your family can concentrate on your guests.
You can choose one of the function rooms at our funeral homes, a hotel or club, or even your home.

Mario Cantone is a gay comedian with a capital G. Ten minutes into his one-man show, shot during its Broadway run late last year, he's channeling not just Cher, but Cher and Tina Turner doing an Elton John medley. By the time the inevitable Liza Minnelli impersonation rolls around, I was expecting Karen Walker to waddle on stage with a martini, bark at Rosario, and present her rump to Cantone for a brisk smacking.
Like yet another Def comic wannabe declaring Bill Clinton the first black president, Cantone relies far too heavily on Cher, show tunes, downward-spiraling divas, and other gay pride presets without much regard for actual jokes. For a guy who was often the randy, ranting kick in Charlotte's stuffy ass on Sex and the City, Cantone still obsessing over Faye Dunaway and Sunset Boulevard manages to paint homosexuality as painfully unhip. And no sexual orientation of any kind could give purpose or punchline to the tedious Judy Garland tribute that drags down Laugh Whore's last few moments. (The Jim Morrison Christmas special bit, on the other hand, is twice as biting just by dint of its being out of the blue.)
Embracing dulled stereotypes is not Cantone's only creative crutch, unfortunately. His stand-up career dates back to the gimmicky '80s when every comic had a signature vocal delivery, most of them severely time-stamped (see Judy Tenuta, Emo Phillips). And like Gilbert Gottfried and the late Sam Kinison, Cantone is a screamer. His righteous indignation toward post-9/11 paranoids, cabbies on cell phones, and Paris Hilton while valid doesn't benefit from the screeching punctuation he tacks on to every gibe and jest. (If you took it easy on the larynx, Mario, there'd be no need to lip-synch that third musical number.)
But not since the Millennium Falcon roared into Cloud City has a second act been so dark and yet so redemptive. With the appearance of a white leather couch round about the 45-minute mark, Cantone thankfully begins to move into more personal material. He introduces his worlds-apart sisters, his heavy-gambling uncles with pinkie rings like ''potato gnocchis dipped in gold,'' and his relentlessly tacky, dog-dispensing mother.
Oddly, Cantone's recounting of her death, when ''all the secrets come rolling out,'' is the high point of his act. Portraying his flabbergasted siblings as they discover their father's illegitimate child, Cantone's skill as an impressionist finds its ideal application. ''I can't f---in' believe it,'' says Cantone, mimicking his mookish brother's outrage at seeing a picture of the love child. ''Do you think he's better-looking than me?''
For the generation raised on South Park and Farrelly humor, Cantone squeezes in a guilt-and-guffaw-inducing bit about teaching English to deaf inner-city students. Sadly, this twisted fun does not last. Within, literally, seconds, Cantone is waxing on about the joys of some Judy Garland TV series that aired during the '60s. ''It's on DVD,'' he announces, ''go buy it especially some of you straight guys.'' The gay men in the audience, he's assuming, have already seen it.

In its first official act of the evening, the Billings School District 2 board swore in two new trustees and an incumbent Monday night, ratifying the results of the May 6 elections.
Susan Layton and Tanya Ludwig, who replaced outgoing trustees Travis Smith and Travis Kemp, took the oath of office along with Trustee Janna Hafer, who won re-election to her seat.
The remaining trustees thanked Kemp and Smith for their service and said farewell to Trustee Lindy Graves, who resigned his seat last week. Graves is moving to take a job in South Dakota.
His departure leaves a vacancy on the board, which the district will try to fill over the next six weeks by interviewing and appointing an applicant.
But much of the meeting was dominated by discussion on school district consolidation.
SD2 is actually two school districts, elementary and high school. The Montana School Board Association is looking to craft a resolution seeking specific legislation that would allow some school districts in the state to consolidate to a single K-12 district.
The effort is being led by the East Helena School District. The MTSBA is holding a meeting later this month to discuss the issue and its requested that Superintendent Terry Bouck and board Clerk Leo Hudetz attend.
Bouck, at Monday night's meeting, sought direction from the board on what to tell the MTSBA when they went to Helena.
At issue is the way the resolution has been framed. Were it to move forward the way it's written, SD2 would consolidate in a way that would eliminate Lockwood from the school district.
Lockwood already has its own K-8 district and its high-school aged students attend high school either at Skyview or Senior in Billings.
The resolution would allow Lockwood to become a K-12 district, opening the door to a new high school there.
Hudetz told the board that losing Lockwood students from SD2 high schools would impact the academic environment at the schools — Lockwood kids are good students, he said. It also would effect the bottom line of the district.
SD2 would lose roughly 500 students and $2.1 million in funding.
Trustee Teresa Stroebe, who represents the Lockwood area on the board, spoke at length about letting the facts guide the MTSBA's discussion in Helena and not sending Bouck and Hudetz there with any direction.
In a 7-1 vote, the board directed Bouck and Hudetz to go to the meeting and offer no support for the MTSBA's resolution.

Seeing the FFAW members protest at the Confederation Building, calling for "Free Trade" and "Free Enterprise", hearing them calling the government "Communist", one suspects that Mr. Mills has support for his right wing ideology in unexpected circles. But then, the FFAW "harvesters" are owners and bosses in the traditional sense. The question is, how can they call themselves a union?

Reminder: Schedule your parent-teacher conference on Tuesday, Nov. 4. Students do not report to school that day.
Welcome to Kirkpatrick Elementary
Walk to School Day 2013 Principal's Message
Welcome to the 2013-2014 school year. I am proud to serve as principal of Kirkpatrick Enhanced Option School. I join a team of dedicated teachers and supportive staff members who are committed to raising student achievement. We understand the importance of equipping students with the skills necessary to excel in higher education work, and life.
We value the relationship we form with our students, their family and the community. It is truly important we work as a team in providing a positive environment for learning. Several resources are in place to provide support to our students.
We experienced marginal growth in the areas of reading and math. Our focus this year is on raising those scores higher. Parents can play an active role in helping us achieve this by having their child at school every day and on time.
I look forward to working with the students and families of Kirkpatrick Enhanced Option.

My mother is Taiwanese and a friend of hers gave me some Vegetable or Herb this plant is? She gave me these as well as a baby Chinese Date (Jujube) Tree.
I don't see my mom's friend that often to ask. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Its a herb. I don't know english name of it. We use these in making flower garlands. |
Is it edible? If so any suggestions on how to cook it? |
we never ate. |
I finally got a hold of my mom and she said her mom use to cook and put it in sticky rice or rice flour with shrimp, turnip and garlic. Suppose to help lower cholesterol . *shrug* will be interesting. |
I went to the Asian Super Market and found out that this is called Tung Ho or Edible Garland Chrysanthemum. |
Hi, I'm usually a lurker here , but since my grandmother uses it occasionally, I am familiar with it. Your plant is not a Chrysanthemum but a type of Mugwort. The closest match seems to be Artemisia argyi. It is called 'ai-tsao' in Mandarin and the cakes made from it are called 'tsao-ah-kueh' in Taiwanese. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Artemisa
Stanhopea: Yes! My mother said that it is used in some sort of cake made out of Rice flour. Thank You for the information you were most helpful. |
I am from south western coast of India and I remember my mom and her friends / cousins using these leaves ( as well as marjoram and Artemisia pallens ) in making garlands. The leaves are similar to chrysanthemum leaves, but the fragrance is very different. The common name they used was 'manapatri' They also mentioned that it had some medicinal properties. |

I've never seen a fresh chinese mugwort (saw the dried ones in stores). Thanks for sharing the link, stanhopea. |
Excellent thread! |

It looks like the shungiku my mother grows, sometimes called "chop suey green". Good in sukiyaki and stir fries. |

Tempe couple wins 2nd lottery payout in 17 years
PHOENIX -- A retired Tempe couple has won their second big lottery payout in 17 years.
Kerry and Diane Carmichael came forward to claim the $1 million second-place Powerball prize from Wednesday's drawing.
The Carmichaels also won a $2.5 million jackpot in The Pick game in December 1995.
The couple told KPHO-TV that they're still reaping a $125,000 annuity for their win 17 years ago, but it will expire in December 2014.
The Carmichaels say they plan to consult with their financial adviser about their latest winnings, but will "resist the urge to splurge."

GATOR ON THE LOOSE!Meet the Carters: Mr. and Mrs. Carter, 10-year-old daughter Keisha, five-year-old Razi, baby Paolo, and Grandma Alice. Together, they run Carters' Urban Rescue, the place you call when you've got an animal where it shouldn't be. There's a baby alligator at the city pool, which will seriously interfere with opening day. So it's up to the whole family to figure out what to do with the poor guy who has no business hanging around Michigan. Luckily for all of them, the answer is closer than they ever could have imagined. SPECIAL DELIVERY!Keisha and the Animal Rescue Team have a mystery to solve when a call comes in to Carters' Urban Rescue from the folks over at the community garden—it seems they have a stinky new resident. Could it be that a skunk has moved in? And as if this isn't enough to figure out, why is a murder of crows trying to stop Mr. Sanders from delivering mail to the old brick house on Orchard Street? The Carters are on the case.

Global appliance producer Whirlpool Corporation, based in Benton Harbor, MI, U.S. said today that Elizabeth Kisch of Dayton, OH, U.S. won its first-ever U.S. Accubake(R) System Unique Cake contest with her time-honored chocolate coffee toffee family cake recipe. Mrs. Kisch was one of 10 finalists that competed for the grand prize Tuesday at Whirlpool Corporation's new Insperience Studio(TM) in Atlanta. "It was extremely difficult to select a winner because all of the finalists had such unique cake recipes and there was a heart warming story behind each one," said Gale Gand, host of the Food Network show Sweet Dreams and lead judge for the Accubake Unique Cake contest. "Mrs. Kisch's cake was delicious and she was just so passionate about how much the recipe means to her family, which is what this contest is all about." Whirlpool selected the 10 finalists from the more than 400 cake recipes it received. Better Homes & Gardens home economist Lynn Blanchard and Whirlpool brand cooking manager Chuck Martin assisted Gale Gand in the judging, which was based on three main criteria: the story behind the cake, originality, and ease of recipe. Mrs. Kisch tells the story behind her winning recipe: "This recipe is my family's favorite 'anytime' cake," she said. "I have baked it for holidays and for special occasions. We think the recipe was improved upon when I decided not to throw out the coffee left in the coffee pot from breakfast and added it to the cake batter. On one occasion when I was going to bake this cake for a friend's dinner party, my husband (who was going away on a business trip) expressed that he was disappointed he wasn't going to get to have a piece of cake. So I researched how to bake cakes in jars, baked a batch in canning jars, and tucked a couple of jars in his suitcase as a surprise. Since then I have baked this cake recipe in jars and given them away as holiday gifts. In a jar or on a plate, it's a great cake." The nine other finalists and their winning recipes are: Liz Barclay Annapolis, MD - Pinto Party Cake Gwen Beauchamp Dallas, TX - Pina Colada Star Cake Debbie Empey Salt Lake City, UT - Tomato Soup Cake Valerie Holt Cartersville, GA - Perfect Pound Cake Sue Kakuk Plymouth, MN - Rhubarb Cake 4 Us Linda Kay Drysdale Riverview, MI - Aunt Linda's Candy Surprise Cake Nikki Norman Milton, TN - Red Devil's Food Cake with Meringue Jacquelyn Smola Piedmont, OK - Old Fashioned Root Beer Float Cake Renata Stanko Lebanon, OR Pineapple Fish Cake Here's The Recipe Here is Mrs. Kisch's winning recipe for the chocolate coffee toffee cake: Ingredients: 1 18-oz Devil's Food Cake Mix 1 5.25-oz package instant Butterscotch Pudding Mix 3 eggs 1-2/3 cups of brewed coffee 1/2 cup vegetable oil 1 8-oz package Milk Chocolate Toffee bits (divided in two parts, 3/4 cup each) In a large mixing bowl add the cake mix, butterscotch pudding, eggs, coffee and vegetable oil and mix on medium speed of electric mixer for 3 minutes. Spray the inside of a 9.5-inch fluted bundt cake pan with non-stick cooking spray. Put the pecans in the bottom of the pan, and then pour the cake batter over top. Sprinkle half of the chocolate toffee bits on top of the batter. Bake in 325 (F) degree oven for 45-55 minutes or until cake tests done. Cool for 10-15 minutes then invert onto a cake plate. There will be a ring of pecans on the top. Frosting: 1/4 cup of butter 1-1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar 1/4 cup water 2 cups of powdered sugar While the cake is baking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, then add the brown sugar and water and stir until the sugar is dissolved, for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and beat in 2 cups powdered sugar. When the cake is still a little warm drizzle the warm frosting over the pecans then sprinkle the remaining toffee pieces on the top of the frosting then drizzle more frosting down the sides. The other recipes are also available from Whirlpool - email firstname.lastname@example.com. Whirlpool will also provide complete rules, terms, and conditions from the Accubake Unique Cake contest. The company will announce details and entry information for next year's contest in the fall of 2003.

Our founder and senior counsel, Jan Meyer, opened a solo legal practice in Teaneck, NJ in 1997, building on his experience in commercial and residential real estate transactions, subrogation, civil litigation, corporate law and banking/financial services. Since that time the firm has expanded to a full complement of eight attorneys, three paralegals, law clerks and support staff.
We provide consistent, excellent service to all of our clients and that has been the basis on which the firm has grown from a solo practice to its present scalesatisfied clients bringing us repeat business and referring new clients to us. And that, we believe, gives testament to the quality of our work.
We hold our attorneys to the highest standards of legal practice and support them with state of the art technology and a strong team of highly trained, experienced paralegals, law clerks and administrative assistants.
We are client-focused, preferring to negotiate practical resolutions to disputes, rather than litigate them.

"Super easy, impressive dish. Kids caught two huge trout at the local sports show (3-4 lbs each! No lie) and I was looking for an easy yet creative way to cook. I cut the lemon up a little smaller than apple and onion pieces and used about twice as much chives, two apples, one onion, 1 tsp salt and half tsp pepper with olive oil. Lined glass dish..."
"Outstanding pie. Easy to make, not too sweet. I used three overripe bananas and crush one up to really infuse the banana flavor and slice remaining two and folded into the pudding/custard before pouring into the shell. Did not take a long time to thicken, I would say as soon as I added scalded milk to sugar, flour mixture it was less than ten mi..."
"I have never made couscous before and only eaten the box version a family member served me. I had many zucchini s from the garden and was looking for a couscous recipe to use to stuff. I sautéed some finely chopped onion and diced zucchini and parsley to the recipe. I also roasted the garlic loves beforehand in the toaster oven in foil wi..."
"The bomb diggity! I went searching becuase we catch a lot of fish and smoke ourselves and I often wonder what else can I do with it besides laying it on top of a bunch of salad greens. This dish was a HUGE HIT at the family dinner table with children ages 6, 10, 12 - who all asked for seconds. I am the type that doesn't measure and made the rec..."
"I saught this recipe out because I recently went went to a local restaurant and ordered what I usually ordered there (but it's not on their regular menu), tortollini ala vodka. They must have a new cook because they left out a few key ingredients. So, not having satisfied my taste for it, I turned to recipezaar. Obviously it's the prosciutto th..."
"I give this 5 stars because it was easy to prepare, had eye appeal and tasted delicious! I did have all of the ingredients, perhaps not all of the spinach, but added a touch of arugula to it too. I shaved the garlic cloves and added an extra one. I also salted and peppered the top of the creation before I put it in the oven. The green beans ca..."
"Sorry, but I wanted to let others know this is not a child friendly meal. My kids eat most things, this, however, was not to their taste due to the complex flavors in it (although they love artichokes on their own just not marinated). I think the flavors are too heavy, the beef consomme, the red wine, marinated (vinegar,briney) artichokes, earth..."
"Simple and the family noticed the wonderful flavor and asked what was different. I didn't have the green onion though and added onion powder. The lemon definitely adds the nice accent to the different flavors in the topping and the parmesan cheese for texture. Kids and DH LOVED it and so did I."
"5 Star for a doityourself shake n bake. I have to admit that I kind of throw the stuff into the bag and I may not have had every ingredient - but boy, did it come out tasty!!! The whole family LOVED it! I am keeping this one for sure and will try it on some other meats besides chicken at some point. I did, however, add more paprika though. I h..."
"I've used this recipe for a couple of years, but tweeked this recipe a bit though. Added 1/2 t thyme, 1/2 - 1 t red pepper flakes, a pinch or so of oregano, a few more potatoes, skimmed back just a tad on the onion (do not grate these-did this once BIG mistake), use whatever milk I've got on hand and at the end 1 short can of shoepeg corn. Anyway..."
