I love the outdoors and enjoy being with our family. I love to garden and have found so many excellent recipes on Recipezaar for our produce including canning and freezing. We put out a small orchard and berry patch last fall. Can't wait for the trees and berries to start producing. I'm sure I will find and submit more recipes. Thank You all.
Anything out of our garden.

More complete docs will be at Orbit's LF page shortly.
If you are itching to try it add this repository to your LuaRocks config and then do luarocks install orbit
. You can find samples in Orbit's directory inside your local LuaRocks repository. Some samples need LuaSQL, do luarocks install luasql-sqlite3
to be able to run them.
Orbit is an MVC web framework for Lua. The design is inspired by lightweight frameworks such as Camping and web.py. It completely abandons the current CGILua model of "scripts" in favor of applications. Each Orbit application can fit in a single file, but you can split it into multiple files if you want. All Orbit applications follow the WSAPI protocol, so currently work with Xavante, CGI and Fastcgi. It includes a launcher that makes it easy to launch a Xavante instance for development, and are easily launched from CGI and Fastcgi-enabled webservers using the generic WSAPI launchers.
Simple app
Below is a very simple Orbit application:
#!/usr/bin/env wsapi local orbit = require"orbit" local cosmo = require"template.cosmo" local songs = orbit.new() function songs.index(web) local songlist = { "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", "With a Little Help from My Friends", "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds", "Getting Better", "Fixing a Hole", "She's Leaving Home", "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!", "Within You Without You", "When I'm Sixty-Four", "Lovely Rita", "Good Morning Good Morning", "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)", "A Day in the Life" } return songs.layout(songs.render_index({ songs = songlist })) end songs:dispatch_get(songs.index, "/") function songs.layout(inner_html) return html{ head{ title"Song List" }, body{ inner_html } } end orbit.htmlify(songs, "layout") songs.render_index = cosmo.compile([[
Songs

 $songs[=[
$it
]=]
 ]]) return songs.run
The example uses Orbit's built-in html generation (orbit.htmlify
), but you are free to use any method of generating HTML that you want, such as the Cosmo template library, for instance.
Run this either with the orbit dev. server (orbit songs.lua
) or through CGI or FastCGI.
OR Mapping
Orbit also includes a basic OR mapper that currently works with LuaSQL's SQLite3 and MySQL drivers (with the HEAD of LuaSQL!). The mapper provides dynamic search methods, a la Rails' ActiveRecord (find_by_field1_and_field2{val1, val2}), as well as templates for conditions (find_by("field1 = ? or field1 = ?", { val1, val2 })). The sample applications use this mapper.
A nice side-effect of the Orbit application model is that we get an "application console" for free. For example, with the blog example we can add a new post like this:
$ lua51 -i blog.lua > p = blog.posts:new() > p.title = "New Post" > p.body = "This is a new blog post. Include *Markdown* markup freely." > p.published_at = os.time() > p:save()
You can also update or delete any of the model items right from your console, just fetch them from the database, change what you want and call save()
(or delete()
if you want to remove it).
Docs and download
There's not much documentation right now, apart from the source code and sample applications.
See the start of this page on instructions for installing via LuaRocks (the preferred method). Even if you do not have LuaRocks the rockspec file tells what dependencies you need to fetch.

What's TSG Talkin' About Today?
Every day during the week, the Facebook branch of Swag Nation has deep conversation about stuff like what they need to start their day, their biggest pet peeves and what movie disappointed them this summer.
Sometimes they are more serious; what do you think of Michael Vick returning to the NFL? How do you feel about Michael Jackson now that he's gone, etc. But, in all, its just a great place to chat with fellow Swaggernauts and even find other users who shared your tastes and interests.
From time to time I like to use it to find new music. I conduct a lot of Music discussions which often give me a list of songs to check out and for the most part, I'm glad that I checked them out!
So if you'd like to vent, find new music, share your thoughts, even make friends or…from time to time….find a Swag Code ….participate in TSG's Facebook Discussions every weekday.
It can be very rewarding.

I'm pretty positive that Westby, Wisconsin is one of the cutest small towns that Wisconsin has to offer. It's chalk-full of Norwegian charm and the most kind hearted people you'll ever meet. I joke with Cory that in this town, there's no such thing as a "quick run to the local grocery store" because even if someone doesn't know you, they'll pull you aside and strike up a conversation with you. I kid you not, I talked to one older man in the parking lot for a good 15 minutes about my car because he was thinking of getting his wife the same one.
This might not sound like anything out of the ordinary to some, but to a person like me who grew up in the Twin Cities. People just don't do that there. If anything, you get yelled at in the parking lot or people barely look up at you as you walk by. Don't get me wrong, not everyone is like that in the cities, but everyone just seems so much more friendly in these smaller towns.
Alea and I had so much fun walking around town the other day. We took a drive and Cory showed us around the town a couple weeks prior and I remember thinking "gosh, I really wish I had my camera with me." And I immediately promised myself that I would either drive around this town again with Alea or we'd go for a picture-taking walk around the town sometime. It's actually a pretty big deal that I followed through with that promise to myself though, because I made myself the same promise about where we used to live. I just never followed through for one reason or another.
It's kind of silly really. So, my advice to you? Take some time to walk around a nearby town or even your own town. Bring your camera and start snapping away. Really take the time to appreciate the beauty around you. It's almost therapeutic. It just makes for the perfect, relaxing afternoon (while also getting some extra exercise, too, if you choose to walk!)
The way I see it is, you'll never regret the time you took to slow down and take in everything around you.

The Commission on Culture and the Arts was founded in 1968 with the following objectives:
· To assist the city in attaining national preeminence in culture and the arts
· To assist the city in the preservation of the artistic and cultural heritages of all its people
· To promote a community environment which provides equal and abundant opportunity for exposure to culture and the arts in all its forms, and
· To encourage and provide equal opportunity for the development of cultural and artistic talents of the people of Honolulu.
One facet of the Commission on Culture and the Arts is the Art in City Buildings Program. This program is managed by the Mayor's Office of Culture and the Arts and is the artwork collection of the city. This diverse collection of public art encompasses moveable and permanent works of art from monuments to murals, paintings to plaques, and a variety of sculptures. All objects, unless on loan, are located at city venues. In order to allow public access to the collection an on-line database is available for viewing at:
Objects in the collection are acquired by the city via three means: purchased (which includes commissions), received as a gift, or transferred. Funding for objects that are purchased comes from a Percent for Art Law whereby "an amount equal to not less than one percent of the construction phase appropriation for the original construction of any city building shall be appropriated to the commission for the acquisition of works of art" [ROH Sec. 3-2.7(a)].

mid 60s - retired - live alone
My most used cookbooks are "Company's Coming" and the GI diet cookbook. It's hard to cook for one and get a decent weekly supply of vegetables before they go off in the frig, so soups and casseroles that I can freeze in single servings work well.
Otherwise I mostly eat fish-halibut,snapper,sole and salmon; I also enjoy chicken breast meat and seldom eat beef. My ex would only eat beef, so now I eat what I had to do without for 32 years.
What I miss most is not having a family to cook for, I don't mean a 'company meal' - I'm talking about making everyday meals and sharing them with others.
My favourite meals are homemade meusli with yoghurt. The other is a lovely pot of mushroom/barley soup made with lean ground beef. It freezes very well.
I have always enjoyed Asian cooking in the past and still do - I should do it more often. My most exciting new find is sushi (not with raw fish tho') and I made it recently and found it quite easy. I must thank the members that kindly helped me out with questions that I had about it. Miso soup is a quick and easy comfort food and appetite supressant.
I guess the famlies favourite amongst my meals from the past was my turkey and dressing that I leaned from Mom. Family and friends really like my potato salad and i love my cole slaw; otherwise, I'm not too fond of making green salads or eating them daily.

The first family attended a church service near the White House on Sunday.
President Obama, first lady Michelle Obama and daughters Sasha and Malia strolled through Lafayette Park to St. John's Episcopal Church, where they took communion during the 11 a.m. service.
The St. John's congregation has been visited in the past by many presidents. It maintains one particular pew marked with a brass plaque that reads "The President's Pew."
The church's history claims that every president since the nation's fourth chief executive, James Madison, has worshipped with the congregation.
The president has attended St. John's before, including Easter services in 2009. He has also visited other churches in the nation's capital.
On Sunday night, the president and his family attended the 30th annual "Christmas in Washington" concert.
Obama told the audience that Jesus changed the world with his teachings on faith, love, forgiveness, and serving others.
"Those are values that are shared by all faiths," Obama said at the concert. "So tonight let us all rededicate ourselves to each other, and in that spirit, from my family to yours: Happy holidays, Merry Christmas, God bless you all, and God bless the United States of America."

Anyone who has ever picked up a copy of Harper's and looked at their Index knows that data can be a powerful way to tell a story. As with the Billion Dollar Gram, the Index uses juxtaposition and comparison to send a message. When that message needs correcting or updating, McCandless benefits from the fact that his work is represented in a single image file.
Many argue that the proper netiquette for using an image is to download it from a Web site and then upload it to your own server, rather than simply inserting the image using the other site's URL. (That's what we did above.) But McCandless says he finds it easier to correct an image when people insert it on their sites without downloading it. That enables him to simply replace version 1.0 of the image with 1.1, and in the relevant metadata, and start serving up the corrected version all over the Web.
"If we issue a correction, anyone who had replicated the image and is hosting it off our server automatically changes [to the new version]," he says. "So we can continually change and edit images."
McCandless also includes an element of crowdsourcing in his work. When he posts a new image on his site, he often includes a call to his readers for additional or corrected data, or other relevant information. (He also has a page where he asks people to help with specific projects.) The principle is that McCandless doesn't publish once and then move on. His images are constantly evolving.
"I'm feel like I need other people's help to sharpen up my work, and to bring in new information and to generally be involved in the creative process," he says. "I don't feel any article is necessarily ever finished, and I encourage people to contribute and to check my work."
As far as images of journalism go, that's a beautiful one.
Correction of the Week
In an embarrassing moment of Freudian word-vomit, we said in Tuesday's lede that Kal Penn had been ARRESTED when the actor-turned-politico-turned-actor had actually been MUGGED (at least we got it right in the article's body). Despite Kal's close association with certain recreational drugs, we have no reason to believe that he is anything but an upstanding citizen. 1000 apologies. — The Huffington Post

So there you are: You just smoked a tee shot with your mammoth new driver, center of the fairway, sitting pretty. One smooth eight-iron, then drop the putt and you have your birdie. But then you notice that monster ball-eating bunker at the front right of the green. And that break-your-heart ridge running across the center. Did you notice that the back of the green runs away from you?Now tell me: What do you really think your chances are?
With all the hype about souped-up drivers and balls, scoring still comes down to getting that little white ball into the hole. As a golfer, you're looking for any advantage to conquer the course. As golf-course architects, our job is to protect the course (a task complicated by the onslaught of new technology) while ensuring that the game remains fun for players of all skill levels. And one of the best tools in our arsenal is the design of the green complex—the putting surface and all the features surrounding it. We use undulations, multiple levels, bunkers, hollows, slopes, false fronts, fall-outs, collection areas and even hidden hazards to help guarantee that skill and strategy will always be crucial parts of the game.
Most people think architects design a hole in the order that it is played: tee to green. In reality, the opposite is often true. Once we have a sense of each hole's general characteristics as part of the overall course layout—that is, once we determine the hole will be a dogleg right or a short par five or a long par three—we often design the green complex first and let the rest of the hole's strategy flow from that. For instance, if we place a bunker at the front-right side of the green, we might then put some sort of hazard on the left side of the fairway off the tee. It's a simple principle that we use when designing any hole—risk versus reward. The more you risk on the tee shot by flirting with the left fairway hazard, the more easily you can attack the pin without having to hit over the greenside bunker. Thus the decisions we make regarding the green complex radiate down the length of the hole to affect golfers' decisions on every shot, starting at the tee. Reading the hole, seeing the hazards and understanding how they relate to the green complex—deciding on that basis where each shot should go and then placing it there—this is what strategy is all about. And the more a player knows about how architects think, the better he or she will score.
Green complexes come in all sizes and configurations, but there are a few rules of thumb. As a general principle—but not always—the longer the hole, the larger the green. On a 490-yard par four, it would be unfair to require recreational golfers to fly and hold 240-yard approach shots into a minuscule green surrounded by hazards. On long holes we usually leave an opening at the front through which players can run their balls onto the green, and we generally try to make sure the greens aren't elevated too severely above the grade of the fairway. On a short par four, however, a tiny green protected by hazards is a reasonable challenge. When you are only 120 yards out, you ought to be required to be accurate to get your par or birdie. But beware: Such greens are not only generally well defended by bunkers, collection areas and the like, but their putting surfaces may also feature subtle challenges, such as well-defined cupping areas players can aim for on their approach shots. We make sure that balls can come to rest within four or five feet of the hole—but sometimes cupping areas aren't much larger than that!
The long hole-large green formula doesn't always apply, however. On especially long par fives, where most golfers have little or no chance of reaching the green with their second shots, we often create smallish greens on the theory that players' third shots will be short and should require precision. Conversely, on short par fives we often design large greens receptive to long second-shot approaches, because reaching a par five in two is one of the great thrills in golf. But just reaching a large green in two is no guarantee of birdie, since those are the greens we are most likely to design with terraces and contours. The thirteenth at Augusta National is a great example of a two-shot par five with a challenging green.
Clients hire architects in part because of the green complexes they are known for. Robert Trent Jones Sr. was famous for large greens with lots of undulations, while Donald Ross was known for smallish greens that were sometimes domed, as at Pinehurst No. 2. As a rule, the architects at Arthur Hills/Steve Forrest and Associates try to avoid building excessively large greens of 7,500 square feet or more; our average green size is 5,400 square feet, considered on the low side. In part that's because extremely long putts of, say, eighty feet or more often lead to three-putts, which add minutes to a round, but more importantly it's because long putts are simply less interesting than pitches or chips. In our view it's far more intriguing to execute a creative eighty-foot bump-and-run or flop shot than to hammer a putt from the same distance.
No matter what an architect's overall style is, however, different courses demand different types of greens: On links-style courses the greens appear to run out of the fairways more; on parkland courses they tend to be elevated (in part to ensure they get adequate sunlight and ventilation); on mountain courses they often have steep fall-offs on at least one side. But whatever the style of the course, we try to create an appealing mix of green types—some that tilt right-to-left and others that tilt left-to-right; a handful with surfaces you can't see from the fairway; one or two with slopes that run away from the approach shot; at least one without bunkers; possibly one penal green completely surrounded by bunkers; and several with illusions.
Illusions come in many forms. For example, on the 467-yard par-four fourteenth hole at our Miromar Lakes course near Bonita Springs, Florida, we placed a thirty-foot-long false front in the green. This makes the playable surface of the green look much larger than it is. Any shot that doesn't carry past the false front is guaranteed to roll back into the fairway. This can be maddening, but it's also exciting for the players. Another example of illusion is found on the 412-yard par-four seventh at Oakhurst Golf & Country Club in Clarkston, Michigan. This hole is a dogleg left. From the landing area, the green is partially hidden by a large mound on the left. The farther a drive carries into the landing area, the more of the green that is revealed. The green appears to be tucked just behind the mound. In fact, the mound is thirty feet short of the green with a narrow, deep valley between the green and the mound.
My playing partners last summer can personally attest to the effectiveness of this illusion! Imagine their surprise when, arriving at the green expecting to putt for birdie, they instead faced tricky flop shots from awkward lies just to have a chance for par. And those are the shots that they all remembered and talked about. Creating lasting memories through unique design is one of our main goals as architects, because those experiences are what drive golfers to play their favorite courses over and over again. (But we are also aware of the opposite: Too many severe and penal features drive players away from a course, and from the game.)
As good as any individual green complex may be, however, it's the sum of them that makes a course truly stand out. It's the subtle and not-so-subtle features of green complexes that get you thinking and second-guessing yourself. And that's what makes golf a mind game.

AJP Custom Drums
Custom Corner by Sean Mitchell // February 18 2012
This month's Custom Corner feature is AJP Custom Drums based in Cleveland, Tennessee. These guys have an incredible line up of styles and features as well as an amazing eye for detail. Read on!
Nestor, let's talk a little bit about your experience. How did you get started drumming?
Well, I come from a family of musicians. My grandfather plays the violin, my mom is a piano player and all of my uncles play some sort of instrument. I grew up in a Pentecostal church in Argentina. At the age of twelve, I started playing the drums at my church. It was very hard because I didn't have my own a drum set. At that time, my father had a recording studio in our home in which I'd often sneak in after hours and play on the sets that different musicians would leave behind—later taking some reading lessons. But my hearing ability was always more leaned to the sound-tuning and construction of the instrument than actually spending time on working on my chops. Today I play at a local church and teach drums at a Christian music institute in Chattanooga.
Tell me what got you into making drums?
Well my grandfather who migrated from Bulgaria used to build pianos and acoustic guitars. As a kid I used to watch him build and fix all of the local musicians' instruments. He taught me all the tricks about wood finishes and sounds—how to pick them and work with them. I still love the smell, tones and the natural sound of wood.
How did the AJP Company get started?
I started doing lots of research on how and where to obtain the best quality products. I decided to build my own snare, and after receiving several compliments on that first drum I decided to build a full kit. Before I knew it friends and friends of friends began to ask me if I could build them a kit as well. I really enjoyed the work and took on the challenge. It's been tough at times but totally worth it.
Let's talk about the drums. What sets your product apart from the rest?
At AJP Custom Drums we are dedicated drummers with a passion to build the best drums that fit you and your unique musical style. We work very hard at keeping the lowest price without sacrificing the quality of the instrument. We listen and understand your needs, and with our experience we promise that you will not be disappointed. We work directly with you to create the sound that you are looking for and a look that is truly your own.
What products best represent your line?
Our snares. We are not only building a great quality snare drum, but we also make it more personal, adding your own signature, bible scripture, or any thing that you may want—allowing you to have a piece that will sound amazing and reflect who you are.
You have many incredible finishes and lug styles. Where do you draw your inspiration for the look of your kits?
I personally have a preference for a neat, clean and classy look. I also pay very close attention to modern, minor detail. I believe that less is more and try to stay away from finishes and lugs that are too bulky or busy. With that said though keep in mind that I create whatever the client asks for as well.
I understand you give back 10% of your sales to charity. Can you tell me about Vision PTM and what they do?
Yes, Vision PTM is a non-profit organization that has a heart for orphans all across the world. They are currently supporting orphanages located in Africa and South America. Our goal is to give to organizations such as PTM to see young lives changed. We are privileged to do this, and as the company grows we look forward to supporting at a greater level.
Where is the company located and what is the business climate like for a custom drum manufacturer?
We are currently located in Cleveland, Tennessee, just two-and-a-half hours outside of Nashville, aka "Music City." We are the only custom drum builders in this area and benefit greatly from all of the musicians that are here.
Tell me about your lines. Do you only make one-offs or do you have consumer lines?
We build one kit at a time. This is our way of maintaining high quality. We enjoy making an original for each customer and we'd like to try and stay away from line production at this time.
Any new stuff we can look forward to in 2012?
We just began applying to all of our drums the new AJP Venting System. The AJP Venting System is quite simple. At the bottom of each shell, below each lug line, a 0.195" hole is drilled through the shell (see photo sample), What this does is let the air travel as far down as possible before escaping evenly though the holes that are spaced evenly around the perimeter of the drum. You'll find extreme snare action, with incredible sensitivity and response. A compressed type of sound. With the force of the blow pushing the air all the way down, the drum reacts like it is being a bit compressed, More volume, focus, sensitiveness. As for the toms, there is an increase of sustain, focus, tone and volume.
As a drum maker, what makes a good drum that resonates well with your ears?
Great question… I'm always looking for an open, focused, and warm sound. When I hit my drum I want that baby to resonate until my next hit, with perfect decay, and a warm tone. I look for a sound that will move me inside.
Tell me about your artist roster. Who is using AJP?
Well most of our guys are great hard-working drummers that dedicate a lot of their time playing in churches and/or inspirational bands. To name a few: Keith Comer of Manic Drive (Canada), Martin Alcedo of No Bragging Rights, Paul Martinez (independent Drummer), Jacob D-Vera (independent drummer), Ron Brown from the Gabriel Bello Band, and Terry Baker from Kirk Franklin's band.
What is generally the turnaround time for a standard size five-piece drum kit? And, how much can we expect to spend on a standard kit?
Turnaround is 45 to 90 days. A five-piece kit is approximately $2,500.00.
Where can we purchase these drums?
Our website ajpdrums.com or email us firstname.lastname@example.com. We are currently looking for dealers
How does a custom builder stay competitive in a very saturated market?
By building great quality drums at an affordable price. Customer service is also key! As CEO, I enjoy taking the time to talk to each of our customers/clients.
What does the future hold for AJP? Where do you see the company in 10 years?
We'd like to expand not only our roster but our facilities as well. We'd love to see AJP Drums played all across the world.

I guess I just want to vent.I'm loosing the electrionics war at my house! Everyone's fighting over the computer and I will NOT buy another one, the boy's have bought their own TV's for their rooms, printers, speaker wires,scanners, video games, the basement is a nightmare of wiring, backyard speakers and so on. I keep adding outlets and uping my panels but When Will It all Stop! Now the boys want to get a flat screen, but I'm going to make them pay for it. Just so I have an opinion, what would be a good one that they could take with them if they ever (!) move out? |
Follow-Up Postings:
The electronics war will stop when you want it to. It sounds to me like this spaghetti bowl just kind of grew. It's possible that a structured-wiring system would make it all easier to manage, but that's a considerable investment at this point and it sounds like things will be better once (?) the boys move out. As for flat-screens, I'm assuming you mean either LCD or plasma TVs. I'd stick with the bigger name brands: Sharp, Samsung, Sony (though IIRC they get their LCDs from Samsung), LG, Toshiba. I know people who've bought Syntax Olevia sets and been happy with them for the $$. I'd avoid "old" names like Magnavox, Sylvania, and the like -- they're just brand names, now, with no relation to the companies which earned them the name recognition. And I certainly would avoid brands you've never heard of before. Not to say they're all bad, but do you want to fight the odds? |

Steve, thanks so much for the advice. That's interesting information on the TV's, I think they are looking at LCD's. |
Electronics is a disease that usually starts at a young age, especially with boys. The affliction can last a lifetime with no known cure, though a lack of financial resources, a mother, or a wife may impede the progress of this disease. So, bear with it and do not enable them; also, tell them that when they have a place of their own they can hook-up and wire away to their hearts' content...! |

I think my next husband should be an electrician, so HE can handle all this stuff...LOL |

Why Do Nurses Eat Their Young?
More and more Nurses are getting involved and looking for solutions that will end the scourge that has persisted for so many years and tarnished the good work and dedication of all Nurses everywhere.
Have you heard that phrase before? I graduated my Nursing Program way, way, back in 1955 and it was around even then. The perpetrator is usually a senior nurse with longevity but could be a new graduate bursting with new knowledge and techniques and anxious to give them a workout or it could be a Supervisor or someone with a higher or lower rank than the victim. Regardless who is creating the problem it is interesting that old clich� is still around in this the 21st Century.
I first encountered it when as an eighteen-year-old nursing student who had never been in a hospital had no idea what a hospital ward looked like. I was born at home, and my tonsils were removed on my Grandmother's kitchen table when I was five. That was way, way, way, back, in 1935. So imagine my surprise to learn the "Ward" my Mother talked about when she had my brothers and sister, was not a long hallway with beds on either side, as I had envisioned, but a long hallway with rooms on both sides and it even had a kitchen. Yes, I remember it well.
We spent the first three months of our training in the classroom learning the basics of bedside nursing-bed making, vital signs, bed baths, enemas, along with medical terminology, anatomy, and other basic preparations for our initiation to "The Ward". We never got further than the lobby of the Hospital and the Cafeteria until the end of those first three months. Finally, the day came with the notification our schedules were changed. Starting immediately, we would spend four hours in the classroom every morning and four hours on the Ward in the afternoon. After class, we reported to our assigned Ward, and introduced ourselves to our R.N., Supervisor.
Miss G. was about four feet, ten inches, tall and weighed about ninety-eight pounds. She looked impressive in her starched, white uniform, white stockings, white, polished, shoes with clean, white, shoelaces, and perched on top of her head a starched, white, crinoline cap with a ruffled edge, with a black band around it. She wore her accessories with authority. Her school pin perfectly placed on her right chest, her nurses' watch with its black, leather band and her black, winged, glasses, which she wore at the end of her nose so she could look directly into your eyes when she spoke. She was a retired Army, Staff Sergeant, probably in her middle thirties, and Single. Yes, I remember her well.
It was the first day of my first four- hour shift. Everyone gathered in the kitchen while the R.N. Supervisor dished out the diets on to a tray, from a warming cart, which we took to the bedside. I was assigned to feed a very ill young man, hooked up to an I.V. and too ill to feed himself. My patient had a bowl of Pea Soup, a glass of water, a cup of hot tea, a packet of sugar, and a glass straw. This was my first patient and the first time I would feed someone. I was scared to death.
I rolled his bed up, placed a napkin on his chest, told him my name, what I was about to do and asked him if he was comfortable. He nodded his head. I placed the glass straw into the bowl of pea soup and brought it to his lips. He was too weak to draw the soup up through the straw so I told him I would get a spoon and I would be right back.
Once in the hallway I forgot which way to the kitchen. I started back toward the Nurse's Station and ran into Miss G. "Where do you think you're going?" she said. "I'm looking for the kitchen." I said. "You mean to tell me you've been here an hour and a half and you don't know where the kitchen is?" I looked at her with total surprise. "Yes.", I replied. She gave me directions and I was on my way.
There were lots of cupboards and drawers in the kitchen and I had no idea where they hid the tableware. I started opening drawers when I heard a sound behind me. Miss G. was standing in the doorway watching me. "Can you tell me where they keep the spoons?" I asked. "Don't they teach you anything in that classroom? You were just in this kitchen. You don't remember where the spoons are. What kind of nurse do you think you will be if you can't remember from fifteen minutes ago?" That was my intro to Miss G. and it was just the beginning. I finally got back to my patient but by that time, the soup was cold. I went back to the kitchen to get some warm soup. I'll give you three guesses who was there and what happened next. The first two don't count.
That was fifty-four years ago. Do nurses still eat their young? Yes, they do and there is plenty of evidence to support its existence right here on the internet. Just go to any Nurse Blog or Forum and you will find page after page of comments from nurses, young and old, male and female, R.N.'s, L.P.N.'s, C.N.A;s, all venting their frustrations about the treatment they endure from NURSES WHO EAT THEIR YOUNG. Why do they do it? They do it because they can.
Fortunately, there is hope for the future. Due to Nursing Forums like this one, more and more Nurses are getting involved and looking for solutions that will end the scourge that has persisted for so many years and tarnished the good work and dedication of Nurses everywhere. Now if only someone would start teaching "How to build a team" or "Teamwork is the answer" that would be a place to start.Last edit by timetoshine on May 10, '11 : Reason: formatting for easier readingAbout timetoshine

1Apr 27, '11 by zephyr9Great article. I am glad I already have lots of practice at leaving mean people be where they are!
Respect is so important!
Would love to hear more about the kitchen tonsillectomy!Last edit by zephyr9 on Apr 27, '11 : Reason: add commentHamptonchic1559 likes this.4Apr 27, '11 by timetoshineFortunately I have no memory but my Grandma said I was a "perfect angel" Thank you for your response. I am a strong advocate of Teamwork in the workplace. Particulary in Nursing. As Director of Staff Development I made it the core of my teaching and as a Charge Nurse on the floor I practiced what I preached. The result was outstanding. The blueprint for building a team was centered around two concepts. The first one was "Who is the most important person in the hospital?" And the second was "Raising the Bar". It didn't happen overnight and there was resistance from Charge Nurses and Supervisors but fortunatly for me I had a D.O.N. and Administrator give me a green light. Building a team and team pride goes a long way improving patient care, relieving stress and creating a positive work environment. It can start with just one simple idea. Instead of just saying "Thank you" or "You did a good job". Catch someone doing something good and acknowledge their effort. Let them know they are making a difference. That is the seed that must be nurtured and allowed to grow. In that environment there is no room for being mean or condesending to a co-worker. Those weeds soon die for lack of oxygen and water. Once again Thank you for your comment.7Apr 27, '11 by NurseJacquiBecause it is a profession comprised primarily of women and women can be vicious, catty, jealous beotches. Not only that, but you are taking women of all ages and throwing them together. I have always found it was the older, fatter unattractive, bitter battleaxes that " eat their young" . It's as though they are trying to get back at all the girls who were mean to them in high school.7Apr 27, '11 by timetoshineNurseJacqui -You have a point. There are people out there women and men who get a kick out of harrassing a newbie or oldie just for the fun of getting a reaction. It's my opinion, with more than 50 years in the trenches, a good part of it is because women, for the most part, have not learned how to be a team leader or a member of a team. It has only been within the last decade or so that women have had an opportunity to learn the value of being a part of a team, in sports, business and politics for example. The team concept is dymanic. It brings people together. It puts everyone on the same page working for the same goals and those who can't take the heat get out of the kitchen. Knowing everyone has your back insteading of stabbing it sets the tone for cooperation and mutual respect.8Apr 27, '11 by NurseJacquiI have been a nurse 10 years and I remember being new and being in tears trying to give report to ICU. This nurse KNEW I was new and was hell bent on tearing me down. I made a vow to never treat another nurse the way I was treated. It is cruel and completely unnecessary5Apr 27, '11 by timetoshineTrust me I can relate and you're right. I'm spent a more than few tears in the linen closet on more than one occasion. In my day, waaay back then, when women were given a title such as Charge Nurse or Supervisor they acted Warlords. My program was only the second Practical Nurse Program in the State of Massachusetts. We were a new concept and untried and not accepted as legitiment members of the Nursing Team. The RN's hated us and even to this day some still do. That is one reason I advocate so strongly for training RN's, LVN/LPN's and CNA;s the team concept. That is where roles and expectations are clearly defined, goals are established and mutally agreed too. Everyone is in the same boat and everyone is expected to pull in the same direction. The "I Gotcha" mentality melts away and the quality of care goes up. Sounds like a "pie in the sky concept" but it works. It ruffles some feathers until it comes together but once that happens you wake up every day ready to really make a difference and knowing when you leave you accomplished that goal. I have a plaque on my wall that says "Nursing Is The Gentle Art Of Caring". The operative word here for me is "Gentle" then "Art of Caring". I like it. It fits.2Apr 27, '11 by hjgirlThanks for the interesting article. This is something that I've had to deal with, as a nurse leader, when supporting new staff. While team building is essential and I think we do a pretty good job of it most of the time, there seems to be a stubborn few whose negative outlook on life overshadows their professional responsibilities. Sometimes, nurse leaders/managers just need to call these nurses on their behaviour. Another thing I try to be mindful of is not lumping everyone together and recognizing that each nurse comes with their own past experiences, beliefs and values. While it is no excuse for bad behaviour, it certainly helps me to look at these people with a different lens and hopefully lets me approach them with a more helpful, sympathetic (and yes, more respectful) manner. (This is not to say that I don't feel like tearing my hair out on the inside sometimes too!)kdrose01 and timetoshine like this.0Apr 27, '11 by timetoshineGlad to learn you are involved in team building. You have peaked my interest. Who are these stubborn people and what do
.they do? How do they interact with the other team players and how do the other team players interact with them?
"While team building is essential and I think we do a pretty good job of it most of the time, there seems to be a stubborn few whose negative outlook on life overshadows their professional responsibilities."
There are always going to be negative people but their outlook on life should not overshadow their professional responsibilities, in my opinion. Who is the most important person in your facility? The Patient is the most important person in any facility. If they are in the nursing profession showing up for work should be the highlight of their day. It is a time for them to shine. It is a time for them to really make a difference. My attitude is when they walk through that door it's not about them. It's about their professional responsibilities and the level of care they are going to give someone who is in worst shape than them. That may seem harsh and I don't know the circumstance but you are right when you say they should be called on their behavior. Why should we tear our hair out when all we want is for them to give their best performance to everyone in their care and who they work with. I don't advocate treating them harshly or with resentment or anger . There are ways to deal with negative behavior and raising the bar of expectations is one of them.2Apr 27, '11 by leslielAs a new nurse and a nursing student a short 4 months ago, this is something that I can most definitely relate to. It's inspiring to come on to these forums and see that there are plenty of people who feel the same way and have gone through the same experiences! It really is unfortunate that people don't value team work more! I firmly believe in karma and that what you put out there will in some way shape or form come back to you, good OR bad! Whenever I come across a senior nurse that gives me "problems", I just try my best not to take it personally, keep in mind that it isn't my fault that they have an attitude problem and it probably isn't the most fun having people on staff despise them! The best thing to do is "kill them with kindness" and maintain professionalism. I'm all about equality! At the risk of sounding super cheesy, equality IS in the best interest of the patient Thanks for writing this article, really sheds light on an issue that needs to be addressed!kdrose01 and timetoshine like this.

Yeah, I know there are other posts about the phones, but I got a picture to share!
I finally found one of these phones that plays a prerecorded conversation. I asked a CM early in the day and she said they are only at Disneyland, but I've read so much about these being at Disney World. Later a very friendly CM around the Jungle Cruise area confirmed they indeed did exist and told us about this one.
As you head towards the castle on Main St. you will come to a little alleyway on the right after VMK Central. There's nothing in the alley but shop windows and entrances. As you turn right into the alley, turn left into a doorway to the Mercantile (I think it was called) and just next to the register is one of these phones. The cashier looked at me like I was nuts as I had this picture taken.
WARNING, the message is VERY loud. It's a conversation about the kind of things people could find in a turn-of-the-century mercantile, a very fitting Disney ambience thing. VERY COOL. In fact every few moments you could hear a phone ringing, sort of beckoning you to pick it up like the Indiana Jones water well at MGM with all the signs saying, "DO NOT PULL THE ROPE."

What's the same underlying reason for why businesses struggle to innovate, and find it hard to have great customer service? Great #startups know!
What's the same underlying reason for why businesses struggle to innovate, and find it hard to have great customer service? Great #startups know!
I presented a paper on non-linear empowerment at Berkley based on radical educational theory in 1999, which fuses scientific and folk world views, and applied that to my own work challenges, most recently resulting in 2013 in a fusion of corporate social analytics with online consumer behaviour I call #thinslicing. It was this #thinslicing tool which led to the creation of the movie review app concept, MacGuffin.
I used the British Gas contact form to email to ask for my electricity direct debit to be retained at £38 on Friday.
I received a reply saying why British Gas was recommended that I increase to £76, but noted that the retention at £38 debit was an option.
I replied asking to retain the £38 debit.
The reply from the same customer service rep then rejected my request and stated that the new level was to be implemented at £76.
I then called customer service from a pub round the corner from Old Bond Street on Saturday afternoon, round the corner from where Margaret Thatcher was staying at the Ritz, and spoke to a new rep and asked for the £38 rate, and this was agreed.
I then received an email from confirming the £38 debit on my request. I followed a link asking for my experience of customer service, and included this account and noted that there appeared to be an issue, that the system for fixing direct debits is inconsistently understood by British Gas customer service representatives.just before midnight on Sunday a new email popped into my Inbox.
This one said that now British Gas was fixing the rate at £65. I emailed back a complaint this time and asked for compensation, explained all the previous again, and went to sleep. I awoke to a new email confirming the complaint had been received.
Then Tuesday morning, a new email from customer services to say while they really preferred the £65 direct debit that they would fix my monthly rate at £38, and credited my account with £10! I checked my account page and this was confirmed, though it also included a handy graphic in bright red which showed how much I would be in debit if I consumed at the rate of the previous bill.
Yes, I thought, but I immediately paid the previous debit balance on presentation of the bill. This fact obviously does not register, as it's not part of the 'system', even though you can in theory fix your direct debit at whatever rate you like, this is not taken into account.
Because at the end of the day, ladies and gentlemen, this is not a customer-centric system, it's a direct debit system, and it's set up for British Gas's benefit, not yours.
PS: A few days later someone from British Gas rang me asking for 'Roy'. I asked what number, and they gave my mobile number. I said there was no 'Roy' on this number. Hey, so I can take a hint. So time to switch back to E.ON who had the good grace to send me a small cheque a couple of months ago.

A day or so, but no more!
Good question!
More fun features;-)
@John_Rice for the eccentric marketing style;-)
Jim Carrey!
It's a complete waste of time, when it's really not that bad:-)
To get unusual inspiration.
@sunnysingh_nw3 for an insider's perspective of Indian culture, from the safety of west London:-)
I wait for inspiration, and a live issue, to come together.
I've worked in public health so I guess I'd have to have a serious answer for that but I don't!
I was setting up communities for accountants and it seemed like a cool way to relax at the time.
Still waiting for Twitter to do it's magic. Though I really liked my answer to a Jim Carrey joke after watching the film 'No'.
Make me smile:-)
That's a secret:-)
er, tweeting like no one is watching.
The same, but smaller.
Take the Shorty Interview at Shorty Awards, the awards honoring the best of social media.
"Video footage caught by a commuter's dashboard camera, a precaution used by many drivers against corrupt traffic police, showed a bright light and vapour trail blazing across the sky". Saw the commuter's video, and then laughed at the comment on The Independent's website as the conspiracy theorists turned out en mass to imagine today's meteor shower in Russia, was really a missile attack:
"It will come as a complete surprise to a slackwitted idiot like yourself, but meteorites and missiles have entirely different trajectories, velocities, and various other scientific quantities involving long words and difficult concepts which are probably beyond the capabilities of your watery excuse for a brain so I won't bother."
Phew, just found my joke I contributed to the xs4all Science Jokes site wayback in March 2001. Now it looks like a joke about #thinslicing, in part because it includes concepts borrowed from my travels – heterogeneous organisation of data – comes from talking to a group of computer scientists at a First Tuesday meeting in 2000:
Q: How do you find a needle in a haystack?
Scientist says: One draws up a research and development proposal for a new
and improved device, costing $100m in budget and just under $200m on final
completion. The device can harvest for needles in any given haystack in any
terrain at any time, and operated by remote or even hands-on control.
Chaotician says: Faced with such a heterogeneous organisation of data you
assemble a bunch of friends (say ten or less, or maybe more if there is free
alcohol) and hold a party on the haystack. Someone will be bound to find the
needle by stepping or sitting on it. Or if they don't something much more
strange + interesting will appear, so that the needle is classified as a
variant hay-straw. And the new discovery classified as the strange attractor.
Customer lingo:
"'Cause you see. doesn' nobody really know that it's a God, y'know, 'cause I mean I have seen black gods, pink gods, white gods. all color gods, and don't nobody know it really a God. An' when they be sayin' if you good, you goin' t'heaven, tha's bullshit, 'cause you ain't goin' to no heaven, 'cause it ain't no heaven for you to go to.
Industry-type language:
1. Everyone has a different idea of what God is like.
2. Therefore nobody really knows God exists.
3. If there is a heaven, it was made by God.
4. If God doesn't exist he/she couldn't have made heaven.
5. Therefore heaven doesn't exist.
6. You can't go to somewhere that doesn't exist.
There's a nice recent example of this in my post 'Witty comment on customer expectations' which expresses this from a product selection angle. I suggest one bridge between how customers and industry think and speak is the effective use of social media. Helps if you use a tool like Radian6 to understand what a customer sees in a product, not just the product engineers. For example does that new camera hit the sweet spot because of the technical superiority of the sensor on its own – or because it's the sensor + coupled with the wifi functionality + coupled with sharing with mates?
Saw this witty comment on people's expectations around products on an Engadget piece regarding the new Google TV launch:
Man people go off-topic fast… can't we just comment on the actual product instead of making useless comparisons?
"Get an Xbox instead because of X & Y"
"Instead of an Xbox get a PS3, because it offers Z & X"
"Yea but why a PS3 when you can just get XBMC, you can do Y & Z"
"Forget XBMC, just get Plex because it does W & T"
"Or just get an iPad w/ HDMI so you can do Z & W"
"Ew don't get an iPad, get a Transformer Prime because W & Z"
"Or get a computer, since it does X, Y, Z, O, M, G, S, T, F, U"
"A computer can't move, get a car because it seats at least 4 people"
09:09 Just for fun today I am counting how many micro
organisational mistakes today to help improve my focus – up
to 9 (+/-1).
Or just download the e-book created with the help of tweetbook.in, with my last 3,200 tweets since 31 March 2010 to date, and keyword search for other micro-humour within the Adobe pdf.
Five contrary business ideas:
1. Date site marketing – comedy blog on ways to meet the opposite sex.
2. A Facebook app that keeps reminding your friends its your birthday until they post a greeting!
3. A Facebook app which allows you to praise your favourite McDonald's employee and reward them. (just tweeted this idea today)
4. A pub app which shows where to go if you want a quiet place to sit and sip your pint.
5. A job finder community site where you can upload your CV for members to comment on and help improve it.

Business is good for football elite
Nowhere is that more prevalent than in big-time college football, where 38 schools spent more than $20 million on their programs last year. Alabama led with more than $41 million in expenses, according to information obtained from the Department of Education. Auburn was second with $36 million.
On Friday, Alabama coach Nick Saban agreed to a contract extension that will reportedly pay him between $7 million and $7.5 million per year. The day before, Texas A&M gave coach Kevin Sumlin a six-year extension worth $5 million a year. In November, Baylor coach Art Briles agreed to a 10-year extension that will reportedly pay him $4 million per year.
"It's a fact that it has been a big factor in the athletic spending growth rate that we know have been growing much more quickly than academic spending at institutions in NCAA Division I."
The Crimson Tide made a nifty profit of $47 million in 2012, and that's not even good for top five in the country. Texas again leads the nation with an $81 million profit in 2012 on $109 million in revenue, surpassing its record $103 million in 2011.
In all, 46 schools reported earnings of at least $10 million from football in 2012, and 81 of 122 Football Bowl Subdivision schools reported a profit. But 33 schools broke even or lost money on football.
Boschini said the economic impact of moving from the Mountain West two years ago was an obvious benefit.
"I think it says we have been willing to make an investment in Division I athletics at the highest level, and we feel like it is a big part of what is happening at our university, in general, for what we're offering our students," Boschini said.
