My SIL says that my neice is in charge of the class teachers at Sunday school. She wants me to help her with ideas for inexpensive thank you gifts for September.
Of course my brain went totally blank! LOL Trying to think of something they might not have seen yet. I thought about the teacup and saucer bird feeders where you put the seed wrapped in tulle inside the cup with a verse. We'd have to find about 20 cups and saucers--not sure that would be inexpensive enough. Have you made any gifts for your kids teachers? Got any ideas to share? I did a search on here, but didn't come up with much. I thought I had seen a post not long ago on the Crafts forum, but haven't refound it yet! Luvs |
Follow-Up Postings:
How about your painted soaps (if you feel like painting that many) in a little see-thru net bag (you can get those at the $1 store) tied onto a handtowel. That's the first thing that popped into my mind and it's a mind that's not at full capacity yet since it's too early still. ha Let me think on it and I'll try to think of a few more things. I was going thru my files last night and came across a few things I had in my thought folder to do at our church womens group when I was on the committee. One was a little flower pot with a pen made into a flower. (wrapped with floral tape and a fake flower on top) You could decoupage a little saying onto the pot? I think you fill the pot with coffee beans (if you like that smell) or regular beans for the dirt. If you could get a good deal on some pretty fleece, those rice warmers are really nice for that time of year. If you can sew. If you could find an inexpensive place to get candles, a small crock candle with a bow on it would be nice. How about those cookie ingredients in a jar with a cookie cutter attached by a ribbon? or layered bath salts in a cute little jar. Or here's another good way to say Thanks a Million that I had saved: Necessary Supplies 10 "One Hundred Grand" miniature candy bars Small glass jar with a lid Colored tissue paper in a color of your choice Metallic curling ribbon in three different colors Sheet of card stock Paper punch Scissors Procedure Begin by locating an attractive glass jar, with a lid, that will hold 10 miniature candy bars. You can find unique glass jars with lids at craft stores and mass merchandise retailers that sell craft supplies. The household aisles of most major discount stores offer a good selection of unique glass jars with lids. Wash the jar in hot soapy water, rinse, and dry it thoroughly. Next, begin lining the jar with the candy bars so the fronts of the candy bar labels face outward. You want the recipient "100 Grand" labels. To hold the candy bars in place, stuff an appropriate amount of colored tissue paper in the center of the jar. Place the remaining candy bars on top of the tissue paper, arranging them nicely inside the thank-you gift jar. Decorate the top with three different colors of metallic curling ribbon. Curl three lengths of ribbon that will wrap around the top of the thank-you gift jar, and attach the ribbons while arranging them in an attractive manner. It will make your gift jar look like a million bucks! Picture frames make nice gifts. An inexpensive silver frame with a scripture verse printed up on pretty paper inside? Oh, this lady I know makes signs really fast. She paints a flat board then uses stick on lettering (I think she gets hers in the scrapbook section, but they are pretty big?) to make words like Faith and when it's up on the wall it looks painted on. You can get really smooth boards at Lowes over by the moldings??? I think and just cut them down to the size you need. Pretty cheap too. That's where I got my boards for those signs I made last Christmas. Ok, I'm tapped for now. I'll keep my thinking cap on and see if I can come up with some more. ~Anj |

Oh, Anj, you had a lot of good ideas. I am going to print this out so I can take it with me when I go to see her. Hmmm, maybe I should go to Dollar Tree and find some soap (can't stand the strong smell of the ones I already had on hand.) I could get a bunch painted and then take them with me "just in case" she liked that idea. Then all we'd have to do is get the bags and towels. I like the picture frame idea too. Maybe we could find some nice looking ones for not too much. What is a crock candle? I stopped at Michael's yesterday and they had allot of candles on sales for 75 cents to a dollar. I could maybe paint on some candles--I have a nice verse/poem for volunteers that could be adapted I think. What a cute idea the candy bars in the jar are. Don't know if I can find the 100 Grand ones--will have to see. Oh gosh, now I may have to call my neice and run some of these ideas by her to see which one she likes best. If it involves painting, I should probably get started on it right away--we know how slow I can sometimes be! LOL Thanks for helping to jump start my creative juices. ;o) Luvs |

Luvs, For something that is nice but inexpensive, try a votive candle wrapped in the round tulle, tied with a ribbon and a verse saying: Here's a little candle, because you light the way, I think this poem came from someone on the Craft forum years ago but I don't know who wrote it. Then there is the prayer rock, and the Angel for a Teacher, and the potpourri pillow made from a new sheet. If interested, let me know and I will send instructions. |
- Posted by luvstocraft (My Page) on Mon, Jul 30, 07 at 1:20
Oh, more ideas. This is so great of you guys. Love this little poem. Tell me about the prayer rock please. That sounds like a great idea too! I'll just let my niece read all the ideas and choose what works for her. She has to come up with gifts often, so I'm sure she will want to keep several of these ideas for future use too. Luvs |
- Posted by paintingfool (My Page) on Tue, Jul 31, 07 at 11:26
Luvs, You take a little rock, wrap it in tulle or fabric and tie this poem to it. This has been around for a while, there is even a bridal rock - I have the poem somewhere. I am you little prayer rock, and this is what I'll do, |
- Posted by luvstocraft (My Page) on Wed, Aug 1, 07 at 13:45
Hey, I NEED one of those! Some days just go by so fast, we fail to make time for the important things. Bet my niece will find a way to use this idea. Thanks so much. Luvs |
That's cute PF. You could paint a little angel or something cute on the rock too. ~Anj |
Lots of ideas here! I always loved that prayer rock poem. Good to read it once more. |

Hi Luvs, I hope you're having a terrific trip, it sounds like alot of fun! I know it's probably a little late for more ideas, but just had to pass this one along - maybe you can use it another time. I've done these for several of my children's teachers over the years and they loved them. I'd paint the little terra cotta pots (4" or smaller) with black paint around the bottom and yellow around the rim/band. On the black area I'd paint ABC, 123, A+, #1 Teacher, etc. in white to look like chalk and then paint a little apple, pencils, books - any little school related thing. Then around the yellow rim I marked it off in inches and numbered it like a ruler. Inside I'd tie a little bundle of chalk with raffia, ribbon or string. A couple of them I personalized with "Ms. _____'s Chalk" or would paint "from:____ (child's name), etc. Anyway, just though I'd throw my 2 cents in and let ya'll know I'm still here. Sorry I haven't been on here much...been trying to get some painting and other work done, and been out trying to find at least maybe a part-time job. Also Luvs, just another idea - not so much for the school thing, but more for your personal use - I had this idea the last time I made a trip MS to CA. I picked up a rock in each state - tried to keep it something that looked rather indigenous to the area - and when I got home I was going to paint something on each one from it's native state, like the state flower, bird, motto, etc. and then use them to border a flower garden. I think I managed to get about 4 on that trip from CA, NM, AZ & TX before my sis told me I had to stop. I was getting 8-10" diameter rocks and she was afraid the back end of the car would be dragging the pavement if I got anymore! |
Cute idea Lynn. I may do some of those chalk pots for my kids teachers this year. Love the rock story. :) ~Anj |
- Posted by luvstocraft (My Page) on Tue, Aug 14, 07 at 8:58
Lynn, the little flowerpot chalk holder is a neat idea. I told my niece about it too so she can use it sometime. I had brought her one of my Jiffy Pops with the Gingerbread face painted on it. Told her Anj had done some using graphics printed on her printer. She liked that idea, so we found a cute snowman pattern and made 15 of them so far (all the Jiffy Pops she could find) and then she will make another 10 when she can find them. I took a couple of pics so I could post them here and on the crafts forum when I get home. She used a muted plaid Christmas fabric for the bow on it and made tags in red or green with "Just poppin by with a Holiday Hi" printed on them. Look really cute. Now she can hardly wait for Christmas to give them away. ;o) I really appreciate all the ideas. Luvs |

Interviews with four top interior designers in Madison
Denise Quade
(page 1 of 4)
Denise Quade
Owner of Denise Quade Design
What do you like best about working in the Madison area?
I began working in this industry in Janesville while I raised my kids and when I made the move to Madison nearly fifteen years ago, I noticed immediately that people treated me as a professional. Being in Madison has been an enlightening experience for me, and this market has really helped me to explore more of my talent and has essentially changed the entire direction of my career.
What projects are you working on now?
I'm currently working on a home remodel where I'm specializing in cabinetry, countertops and tile. For this project, I'm also teaming up with another designer and that collaboration has been really fun!
Generally, my clientele is made up of individuals who want to remodel kitchens, bathrooms, studies, laundry and mudrooms—wherever cabinets are.
What materials are currently popular?
Cabinetry-wise, painted finishes are really coming back. Painted white is really hot right now. As far as countertops go, brushed finishes in granite are also very popular.
Have you noticed any trends in termsof clientele over the past years?
With the economy, I've noticed that people are more cautious about what they spend their money on. Also, my younger clients are really into technology. Many of them use different websites such as Pinterest and houzz.com to show me what they're interested in.
How would you describe your signature style in three words?
Creative, passionate and experienced.

Templeton got a blast of snow on Sunday.
Solid Rock Christian Fellowship brought in 20 tons of snow for their community event, called Christmas Snowblast.
They built a ski slope nearly 100 feet long for kids to slide down.
There was also a Charles Dickens Christmas village and a full nativity scene.
The church had hot chili, apple cider, cookies and other treats for about 300 people who showed up to the event.
The best part: everything was absolutely free.
"We wanted to have an event where people could bring their kids, take a break from the stress and stuff that sometimes comes with the holidays, and just celebrate Christmas; just have fun, play in the snow, have caroling," church member Lance Robbins said.
Kids could also get their faces painted or jump in a bounce house at the Snowblast event.

Today we have taken two of the best Tier 2 i865PE motherboards and battled them head to head to see what can be accomplished.
MSI Final Thoughts
On the whole, MSI has done a rather good job while trying to keep the retail price as low as possible without trying to compromise quality, and have done a reasonably good job at it. Overclocking on the MSI board was better surprisingly then the Chaintech board with a maximum FSB of 287MHz - still not as good as our Tier 1 boards, as the saying goes, you get what you pay for.
Layout of the board only gave us one complaint, and that is the placement of the 4 pin power connector.
- Pros
Promise Serial ATA RAID controller
CSA Gigabit Ethernet
- Cons
Placement of the 4 pin power connector could have used more thought
Rating - 8.5 out of 10
Chaintech Final Thoughts
Chaintech is still relatively new to the motherboard industry, but old enough to know a winner from a looser. Chaintech have come half way with the 9PJP in this scale.
Overclocking was somewhat below what we expected for a Tier 2 board with only 248MHz FSB being able to be reached. The layout of the board does need some work, as the placement of the IDE connectors is just a simple motherboard no-no these days.
- Pros
PCI Audio Controller
Serial ATA support
- Cons
Placement of the IDE connectors needs serious re-thinking
CSA network removed over 10/100 solution
Rating - 8 out of 10
Stay tuned for our Tier 3 i865PE shootout!

My experience with Goodwill is rather unusual. I am working with another nonprofit in the area and we are in the process of working towards certification through a state program of excellence. We have turned to Goodwill Industries of No Louisiana as a model and mentor. The incredible lengths the staff and board have gone through to establish thoughtful and well written policies is commendable. They have also thoroughly researched and established clear and concise written procedures for their operations. I cannot think of another organization that would be more deserving of my own personal funds and I would highly recommend them to any potential donor based on Goodwill's outstanding management of funds.
More feedback
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
extremely professional and standouts in an environment of organizations (nonprofits) that don't always have true written policies and procedures which are not only established but also followed.
How frequently have you been involved with the organization?
About every six months
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
Volunteer & I reviewed all the written policies and procedures of the organization and worked with one of the staff members as we were developing our own policies and procedures.

Annapolis crack dealer sentenced to over 24 years in prison
Baltimore, Maryland - U.S. District Judge J. Frederick Motz sentenced Michael Powell, age 31, of Glen Burnie, to 292 months in prison, followed by five years of supervised release, for conspiracy to distribute crack cocaine, announced United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein. Judge Motz enhanced Powell's sentence upon finding that he was a career criminal based on two felony assault convictions.
According to Powell's guilty plea, between at least 2004 and August, 2008, Powell, his brother Santino Tubaya, and others, distributed crack cocaine in the Annapolis, Maryland area. Specifically, during this time, Powell and Tubaya purchased over 9 pounds of cocaine powder and then converted the powder into crack cocaine, which was then broken down into smaller quantities and distributed by Tubaya and other individuals for sale in the Clay Street, Annapolis Gardens, and Newtowne areas around Annapolis. During the course of the conspiracy, law enforcement recovered crack cocaine from Powell and his co-conspirators, including 232 grams of crack cocaine seized from Tubaya and others during the execution of a search warrant at a residence on Betsy Court in Annapolis and vehicles parked at that location. On July 3, 2007, Powell was parked in the 200 block of Croll Drive in Annapolis, Maryland. When uniformed police officers approached his truck, Powell ran. After a police dog detected narcotics in Powell's truck, the truck was searched and officers recovered 83 grams of crack cocaine and $3000. On February 29, 2008, Powell parked his car on West Street in Annapolis. After another police dog detected narcotics in Powell's car, the car was searched and the officers recovered 35.6 grams of crack cocaine.
Santino Tubaya, age 24, of Annapolis, Maryland, was sentenced to 14 years in prison on November 23, 2009.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein thanked the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Annapolis Police Department, Baltimore City Police Department and the Anne Arundel County Police Department for their investigative work and commended Assistant United States Attorney Charles J. Peters, who prosecuted the case.

Looking for a hot tamale that is NOT southwestern style, hopefully one using ground beef and hot pork sausage. Any East Tennesee hot tamale makers out there?
jude |
Follow-Up Postings:
I too, hope someone has good recipes for this. gengenz. |
- Posted by paddy_99 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Wed, Jan 14, 09 at 10:32
If you know what you want in them why not experiment and make your own filling? Is this putting hot pork sausage in tamales a regional thing or do you just like sausage? |
I think it's regional although I do like hot pork sausage. I went ahead and made hot tamales yesterday but even though I kept tasting and adding I will add more chili powder and cayenne when I make them again....and I will!!! It seems most of the recipes I have seen here and on line are definately more southwestern or the delta area. I will try the shredded pork roast at some point after I get more proficient at assembling them. But for right now I want to "fine tune" the ground beef/sausage mixture. jude |
If you haven't seen ruthieg's thread on "Pork Butts" on the HF, check it out. At some point I will try that method. jude |

Blog / Parenting, Top 10 List / Top 10 Ways to Connect with your Kids' Heart
Top 10 Ways to Connect with your Kids' Heart
Written by: Chris Spradlin | Found in: Parenting, Top 10 List |My name is Chris Spradlin and it is truly an honor to write for Family Matters! Thanks FM team for the opportunity and trust to speak into your readers lives. So just a little about me…I'm bald, have a "chin-hawk", live in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, love peanut butter chocolate spinach smoothies, am madly in love with my wife Jodie, love being a father and love the adventure in following Jesus! And….I believe that parents have the ability to change the world if they would just step into their God given role!
You can find more thoughts on parenting at my blog, www.epicparent.tv
- CREATE A JOURNAL: Team Sprad loves to journal! I encourage all parents to purchase a journal for each of their kiddos and create a habit of writing in the journal on a weekly basis. I write about the gifts I see in them, encourage them, tell them I am sorry, let my boys know how courageous they are, how beautiful my daughter is, share God's word and lay it on their bed so they can read it before they fall asleep. Sometimes, I even get the journal back with notes they have written to me.
- ASK FORGIVENESS: All parents wound their kids' hearts but very few parents acknowledge the offense and sincerely ask their kids to forgive them. I love the message it sends when a parents get's eye level, holds their kid's hands, acknowledges the hurt and authentically asks for forgiveness.
- GIVE GRACE: Recently my son blew it big time! He was nervous about what dad might say or do. I simply hugged him, didn't even talk discipline and let him know there is nothing he could ever do to make me love him more or less! He deserved consequences…but this time I simply gave grace. He was shocked!
- SERVE: Blow your kids away by randomly serving them without any strings attached. Help them clean their room, take out the trash for them, prepare their favorite meal, ask them if they'd like to have 6 friends stay the night! Maybe not…you'll have to think about that one. You could even buy them their favorite Def Leppard album! (JK)…showing my age on that one.
- BE HONEST ABOUT FAMILY BAGGAGE: I come from a family that can get their "mad on" quickly and make everyone around them walk on egg shells. I personally have struggled with this and I simply told my kids the truth, let them know I am working on it and with the supernatural power of God in my life I will see victory! I am seeing great freedom in this area of my life.
- PLAY PRACTICAL JOKES: My oldest son is a stud when it comes to practical jokes. He always wins and everyone else looses. THAT CHANGED! One night he was taking his "beauty bath", music going and eyes closed. Kylie and Tifton (my other kiddos) and I found a frog outside, snuck in the bathroom and threw it on him while he was in the bath! IT WAS AWESOME! He screamed, yelled and climbed the walls. Parents, you will connect with your kid's hearts if you learn to play and joke with them.
- PRAY OVER THEM: Every morning I have the honor of taking my kids to school. I use this as a time to pray over and with them. I pray that God would give them courage, eyes to see the unloved at school and spiritual influence.
- LONG WINDED DISCIPLINE: The joke around Team Sprad's home is don't let dad discipline us, he talks way too much! Go to mom, she just gets it over with. Here is the process I typically use when disciplining my kiddos… 1) Listen to their heart. 2) Give them a chance to explain. 3) Speak truth and correct wrong thinking. 4) Share "how" you will discipline them. 5) Love and pray with them. Yes, you read that right. It's a five step process.
- GIVE PERMISSION: My wife and I have given our kids permission to lovingly and respectfully come and talk to us when we are out of line. This one can be tough to swallow, but the reality is that parents do step out of line.
- TURN OVER YOUR PHONE: I have a tendency to be on my phone all the time! I check email, facebook, twitter and run EpicParent all from my phone. Parents, we must have CELL FREE ZONES! I encourage all parents to declare a weekly time when they will not be on their cell phone, and they hand it over to their kiddos just to make sure.

Bioshock 2 Delayed; Rapture Will Just have to Wait
BioShock 2, the sequel to Take-Two's alternative history shooter has been delayed to the first half of 2010. The horror! The sequel was originally slated to debut late this year, just in time for the holiday buying season, but the title has been pushed back.
Does the game need more development time? That's part of the story. The other? Money. Take-Two chairman Strauss Zelnick admitted that the company expects that next year will provide "a better performing product in the marketplace."
So suck it up, gamers. No BioShock for you yet. At least one group of people might be pleased at the delay: BioShock-obsessed crafters. More time to work on those elaborate projects before the game's release, at least.
[via Shacknews]

Comments (2):
the first bioshock game was released aug.21-2007 time. two years between games. This game better be out of this world or 2k is just another bad company that have no business in the gaming industry.
Bioshock one was good but riddled with bugs (no sound in vista) and many other problems all throughout the PC and Console versions They better keep the game till they fix it and if they do screw it up I expect them to Release some Friggin Fixes for it.

Kate Gosselin may be "freaking out" over being unemployed, but at least she's got a cushy new car to drive to her upcoming job interviews!
The "Kate Plus 8" star was spotted earlier this week in Wyomissing, PA driving around in an Audi TT sports car, which she reportedly says she got, used, before her show was axed.
Just yesterday, Kate told PEOPLE "I've never quit a job in my life without having something else lined up. I don't know what's next ...I told [the kids] I will work my fingers to the bone to make sure that they can stay here and go to their school."
Good luck driving all 8 of them to school in that.

She will be broke and struggling begging for handouts within 5 years. Loser! Her 5 minutes of fame lasted waaaaaay to long!
lukebandit: 1237 days ago
5 years? Try 5 minutes. Can't believe People mag put her on the cover for this weekend, the 10th anniversary of 9/11!!! Her ego will be bigger than ever now! How in the heck did Kate Conyer of People Magazine pull that one off?
ksus: 1237 days ago
maybe if she stopped getting all the hair extensions, spray tans, and other beauty treatments, she could pay the tuition for the kids school. at some point, surely she will realize that its the kids that are important......not her.
Manda: 1237 days ago
Obviously people don'*****ch the show. She has another vehicle that she drives the kids around in. One that fits all of them.
And people need to just chill the heck out regarding this family. How about you start focusing on families that are not in the news. Whose kids are neglected, beaten, starved. These kids are well taken care of. They are always happy. They get everything they need.
There are tons of parents at the play ground (and I know I have two kids) that take care of their selves just like Kate does. Tans, hair cuts, extensions, and no one is attacking them. She's a mother but also a woman. The kids are old enough now that she can devote time to herself.
She's baaaack: 1237 days ago
When Kate's funds dry up she'll go back to begging for "love offerings" like they used to do at their church. What's the problem?
Not a sheeple...: 1237 days ago
Manda :
Yes she has another car that I agree with but the kids are not happy and they don't get everything they need..... like a normal mom not a self obsessed, self-absorbed witch who never minded humiliating them on tv... for her gain, her tan, her extensions....
Ann: 1237 days ago
Thank God that show is over. Maybe Steve will take care of her now; after all she took care of him.
Erock: 1237 days ago
This B@#$ is to much. She has eight kids and she buys a sports car!! What do you except from a ego maniac. All you idiots who bought her book and watched her pathetic show are supporting a sad excuse for a human. You should be proud as she is for selling out her kids for fame. Good job Kate!!! she'll have a new show in 5 years, Kate plus her f@#$% up eight.
Karmagal: 1237 days ago
HOLY HELL YOU have gotta be kidding me. This bit ch is such a liar that I cant stand it. She is crying POOR yet again ( like she did when she went on the Today show last year ) and she is
"freakin out" oh yea this is really freakin on right? Dumb bit ch
Susie: 1237 days ago
Does she now sport a tattoo just above her ankle??
barbra: 1237 days ago
maybe you should have saved/invested the millions you made off the show for just this event happening. Instead hair extensions, nails, bodyguards, and shopping won out. Welcome to reality Kate...work like everyone else does.
justin: 1237 days ago
That is only a 10k car used. and that isn't the new model! Dude, she has worked her ass off, her life isn't easy, 8 kids, a loser of an ex husband, she has every right to buy herself something. She is a smart business woman, her whole image is a "single mom", and she has made millions off of it, don't be fooled Hollywood is an illusion,if you think this stuff is real you have issues. She has a lot of money, and will see lots of it in the future, her dvd sales do well, her books still sale, and other products and promotions she has done are in circuit. Don't hate her because she knows how to jump on a Money boat and cash in, I'm a nurse, and if I could do her work instead of patient care I would!! She couldn't support 8 kids on the salary we have.. Good for her.

Meet Our Experienced Travel Agents
Carol Wamser
About Carol
I have been in the travel business since 1976 and during that time I have travelled to many destinations. I personally have been to Jamaica at least 17 times and am knowledgeable of the various resorts there. A unique destination I've travelled to is Thailand, where I had the opportunity to ride the elephants in Chiang Mai and also experience the unique cultures and people of that area. I take planning vacations for my clients very seriously and take pride in my work and profession.
Carol's Specialties
In Chiang Rai I took a river cruise on the Mekong River and we crossed into the Golden Triangle. In Chiang Mai the highlight was touring the elephant camp and riding one of these magnificent beasts. Another highpoint was a visit to the Karen Hill Tribes which is where the young girls have rings placed around their necks for every year of their age. We also visited a night market where you can purchase knock-offs such as Coach, Estee Lauder, etc.
Bangkok is a bustling city with lots of traffic, narrow streets and a new adventure around every corner. You might see an elephant walking down the street with a trainer. Tok toks are small vehicles somewhat like a golf cart that are used for local taxi service and provide a fun way to get around the city. While in Bangkok you'll want to tour the Grand Palace and see the Emerald Buddha, and experience the floating market, the bridge of the River Kwai and of course see the Thai Village Show. If travel to Thailand is in your future, let me help you create a customized itinerary that will result in lasting memories.
Carol's Recent Trips
I just returned from Cancun Rivera Maya and stayed at Moon Palace

Group Income Protection - Salary Continuance Insurance
Group salary continuance insurance is a single policy that allows many members of a company to purchase a group salary continuance insurance policy with competitive wholesale premium rates, offering minimal or no medical underwriting and simple administration provided by your broker
The policy will offer a benefit of up to 75% of each member's salary, payable if they are unable to work due to illness or injury. The benefit is payable after the waiting period of your choosing and payable for the benefit period of your choosing.
Why Use Salary Continuance Insurance?
By providing Group Salary Continuance insurance to your employees, you will be providing them valuable protection for their incomes, offering an incentive that is likely to promote loyalty and thus providing a benefit to your business.
You will be implementing a smart risk management plan so that in the event that a staff member cannot work for an extended period the impact on the business is minimised.
It also negates any moral or financial dilemma you face, as to whether to continue to pay a sick or injured employee.
How Much Will It Cost?
Usually, premiums cost no more than 1% of the yearly payroll.
How Many Members Do We Need to Obtain a Policy?
Insurers will offer policies to groups with as few as 10 members. There is no limit to the number of staff you can insure on a group policy.
How Long Will the Policy Pay Out If My Employee is Sick?
You can select the benefit period on the policy. The options range from 2 years through to the age of 65. The premium is dependent on the benefit period.
When Will the Policy Begin to Pay Benefits to an Employee?
The benefit payments will begin after the waiting period. You are able to choose the waiting period yourself. These range from 14 days through to 2 years. Many employers select a 90 day waiting period, as they cover the salary for the first 3 months then benefit payments begin.
Are There Any Tax Implications?
The premiums are fully tax deductible to the company, you can insure as much as 75% of each member's gross salary and benefits don't attract any fringe benefits tax (FBT) or GST.

0May 29, '13 by TNT365If I am correct I believe so. We do need the 2 step TB test. We also received two additional emails regarding registration and uniform fitting. For registration Tuesday July 9th 9-4pm, it is a lottery and they will be assigning the times to register. The uniform fitting is July 16th 9-6pm. Whatever time is convenient for you between those hours of 9-6pm, Cintas will be there.
0Jun 3, '13 by TNT365Yes we do need a 2 step TB test. Also, if you did not originally attend Daley College......Go to Daley and have them change your college and academic plan!!!! Then, if you are receiving Finanical Aid, go and talk to them to make sure everything is ok so you can register for classes on July 9th.
0Jun 21, '13 by rem1997Quote from TNT365Can you post it here or message it to me? I am trying to budget how much my books are going to cost. I was accepted at Malcolm X and we seem to be getting info much later than everyone else. I still haven't gotten the info on registration and uniform fitting yet. I looked in my blackboard but it isn't there...or my email is mylesmom06 at gmail dot comI received the Nursing Class of 2015 booklist via blackboard. Check it out!!!
Thanks for your help! -
0Jun 22, '13 by TNT365Quote from rem1997Im not sure if the booklist is unified for CCC Nursing. You might want to call your school. The list is 8 pages. The cost for all books is over 1300.00 (even thought you might not need all the books). We still have to consult with our teachers about which books to purchase. But one book is for sure that we need is the Cravens Fundamentals Books of Nursing 7th edition and the study guides.Can you post it here or message it to me? I am trying to budget how much my books are going to cost. I was accepted at Malcolm X and we seem to be getting info much later than everyone else.

and you will find all the requirements for admission. It seems as if Daley had a little over 100 seats. Their are also programs at Malcolm X and Truman. -
0Aug 2, '13 by teacher08Quote from mallen1507Any instructor?! Best wishes at Daley College.No problem. I can't wait to get started. I've heard good and bad things about the program but it doesn't matter to me. I'm a straight student and usually can tolerate any teacher who teaches. Have you completed your health requirements yet? In just about done. It was lot! I wonder how much the uniforms are. I already work in healthcare field. I hoping I could use my stethoscope and other medical equipment for the program instead of repurchasing everything....
1Aug 10, '13 by teacher08Yes. The financial aid representatives will tell you that you're unable to take out student loan. You can get a student loan, they will discourage you because they want you to use it for the Bachelor degree level. Try getting a WIA grant and applying to IDPH next year. This is my Daley College financial fiasco:
I took a medical terminology course at KK, during first semester of nursing program, and borrowed $10,500 (from KK) because I had NO funds for school. I had to borrow $500 just to register for Fundamentals.
Well, my $8000 WIA kicked in a few weeks later in addition to my IDPH scholarship. Daley wanted me to return the student loan refund. Met with at least eight financial aid and WIA representative and they talked and talked and talked in the event to discourage and intimidate me from receiving the refund. I kept saying, "At the end of this conversation, I expect a $10,500 refund." said it EVERY-TIME someone made a comment.Last edit by teacher08 on Aug 10, '13TNT365 likes this.

Crowe and Banks unscathed in on set car accident
Actors Russell Crowe and Elizabeth Banks escaped injury on Wednesday when a fire engine crashed into a van the stars were filming in.
The pair is shooting new movie "The Next Three Days" in Pittsburgh, but production was halted on Wednesday when the truck plowed into the front of their vehicle, which was parked near a fire station.
The van's bumper was knocked off in the collision, but no injuries were reported.
Crowe's Bike Challenge To Journalist
Vince Maher / WENN.com
Russell Crowe challenged an Australian journalist to a cycling duel after the writer mocked his fitness regime and unhealthy habits.
The "Gladiator" star was infuriated when Sydney's The Daily Telegraph published an article headlined, "Smokes and fatty foods the fitness regime for Rusty," after he was spotted puffing cigarettes and eating fast food during a bike ride.
The paper ridiculed Crowe for taking breaks from his personal trainer to and eat plates of tacos and satisfy his nicotine cravings.
So the star hit back by challenging gossip columnist Annette Sharp to take him on in a cycle challenge.
According to the publication, Crowe's spokesperson phoned the writer and said, "Get on your bike. Russell wants you to go riding with him. Are you ready to die?"
After accepting the duel, the actor met up with Sharp for a 12-mile cycle ride through Sydney.
In a video, the journalist is seen struggling to keep up with Crowe, but the actor credits her efforts, insisting she is "twice the man Baz (Luhrmann) is."
Crowe's big tip
Russell Crowe showed off his generous side during a recent trip to a restaurant, after he tipped the staff $900.
The actor was taking time out from shooting his new Robin Hood film in Wales, and treated his fellow castmates to a posh meal at a nearby eatery.
The food and drink came to $360, and Crowe shocked staff by tipping more than double the bill amount.
A staff member says, "The bar staff don't get tips. Our boss has shared it between all of us who worked that night so we will be taking home about $60."
And Crowe also treated customers to an impromptu concert, belting out Bryan Adams' song "Summer Of '69″ with help from former "ER" actor Scott Grimes and "X-Men" star Kevin Durand, who are also filming for the Ridley Scott movie.

Oscar winner Russell Crowe is set to play a werewolf in a new movie to be directed by his mentor Ridley Scott.
Scott has landed a script written by horror scribe Ian Jeffers, and is planning to take it to the big screen, starring regular collaborator Crowe, reports Bloody-disgusting.com.
The pair has worked together on a number of projects, including Academy Award-winning epic "Gladiator." They are currently preparing to shoot a Robin Hood movie, in which Crowe will play the famous outlaw as well as his nemesis the Sheriff of Nottingham.
Crowe Bans Gambling From His Club
Russell Crowe is leading a campaign to discourage Australians from gambling –
by banning poker machines from his sports club.
The actor has already axed the cheerleading squad from his South Sydney
Rabbitohs rugby league club in a bid to make it more female friendly — and now
he is attempting social reform by scrapping the club's $6 million
gambling income.
His co-owner Peter Homes a Court says, "Russell threw down the gauntlet and
said 'Can we do this?' It's been proven beyond reasonable doubt that poker
machines cause damage in the community and Russell said we've got to find a new
business model."
Crowe is hoping to find new sponsors for the club, to replace the money the
160 machines brought in.
Crowe Sacks Sexy Cheerleaders

Russell Crowe has banned sexy cheerleaders from his rugby league team this
season because they make fans feel too uncomfortable.
The "Gladiator" star is co-owner of the South Sydney Rabbitohs in Australia, and he revealed Thursday night the club had decided to discard its
He says, "Our focus is to re-establish rugby league and women. The focus on
game day should be a positive experience for the crowd.
"We feel (the cheerleaders) made a lot of people uncomfortable. We
examined game day and wanted to contemporize and make the focus football.

"It makes women uncomfortable and it makes blokes who take their sons to the
football also uncomfortable."
The team will replace their cheerleaders with a drumming band consisting of
both men and women during NRL home matches.
Crowe said his wife Danielle Spencer supported the club's controversial
stance saying, "She likes the fact that game day entertainment will be
multi-sex. She likes that aspect."
He adds, "We've talked to a lot of people and everyone sees it as being
progressive The whole idea of percussion will be exciting for the crowd."
Crowe Slams Flight Attendant Abuse Claims
Oscar winner Russell Crowe has hit back at allegations he threw a fit over the inflight food he was served on a private jet during a promotional tour for his latest film.
A flight attendant who served the actor on a chartered jet claims Crowe was furious when his wife Danielle Spencer was given the only serving of a satay chicken meal he had wanted while on a flight to promote the film "A Good Year."
Crowe's Los Angeles lawyers have issued a five-page denial slamming the allegations of the unnamed flight attendant who says Crowe became enraged when he woke up from a nap and realized his wife had nabbed his dinner request. In her claim the flight attendant explains, "He said to me, 'If I tell you I want something, you put it aside for me. Or wake me up. Is there some kind of language barrier here?'"
The actor's attorney, John H. Lavely, has denied the allegations and insists the movie studio public relations sources have confirmed Crowe was "nothing less than a model citizen during the publicity tour."
Crowe is renowned for his volatile temper — in 2005 he threw a phone at a hotel clerk in New York City after he was unable to place an international call to his wife back in Australia.
Crowe Dropped by Publicist
Actor Russell Crowe has split with Robin Baum, his PR guru, following reports of a rift.
Baum is credited with helping Crowe control the furor following his attack on a New York hotel worker with a telephone last year.
But she has ended her relationship with the actor because of his bad temper, reports the New York Daily News.
Crowe now has to rely on his acting agency William Morris and Co., to handle all of his publicity in America.
Crowe Blasts U.S. Legal System
Hollywood hardman Russell Crowe has blasted the U.S. legal system for making a
big deal of his phone assault in a New York City hotel last year.
The "Gladiator" star managed to escape serious criminal charges with a
conditional discharge in a Manhattan court last November after pleading
guilty to the third-degree assault of Mercer Hotel employee Nestor Estrada with
a telephone handset.
Speaking on the TV show "60 Minutes," the actor said the incident wouldn't have
been treating so seriously in his native Australia.
He says, "Where I come from, a confrontation like that, as basic and simple
as that, would have been satisfied with a handshake and an apology.
"Your (U.S.) legal system is very open to be misused."
Crowe: 'I Don't Do Charity Work for Studios'
AP / Chitose Suzuki
Russell Crowe has branded acting on Baz Luhrmann's new Australian outback movie "charity work for major studios."
The actor was due to star in the as-yet-untitled movie alongside Nicole Kidman, but quit over money wrangles and was replaced by Hugh Jackman in June.
At the time, Crowe gave no clues about his departure from the romantic epic but he now fumes, "I just didn't want to work on that movie in the type of environment that was being created because of the needs of the budget.
"I do charity work, but I don't do charity work for major studios."
The movie was due to begin production this month, but has been postponed to February because of scheduling conflicts and the continuing budget battle with 20th Century Fox, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

LA Boxing offers classes in boxing, kickboxing, mixed martial arts, and hand-to-hand kangaroo combat. In all, there are more than 31 group classes offered weekly, each one led by a professional or top-amateur fighter. Session sizes are kept to a minimum, ensuring personal attention and manageable battle royale numbers. Gyms also offer a full range of fitness equipment to supplement time spent with a bag or in the ring.
Fresno Kickboxing Academy schools young fighters in the subjects of muscles, speed, and coordination during a four-day, noncontact MMA sports-training camp. Kids ages 8–17 train in the 12,000-square-foot private sports gym under the watchful eye of a staff of expert instructors, which may include former wrestlers, MMA fighters, or extras from The Karate Kid. During each three-hour session, coaches lead students through a warm-up and nutrition discussion, as well as workouts based on muay thai, American-style boxing, jujitsu, and wrestling. The fully equipped facility boasts an Olympic-size mat, complete weight room, and professional punching-bag rack, good for finessing fist throws or practicing do-si-dos. Check the schedule for dates.
The instructors at Ultimate Martial Arts & Kids Karate of Fresno must pass through an entire college of martial arts training to be approved to teach. For every year as a full-time instructor, they also complete 40 hours of additional training—a process that helps them stay up-to-date with the latest self-defense and nutrition research. All of this training makes them the perfect candidates to guide children as young as 4 and adults as old as 64 through the center's intensive, progressive martial-arts programs. Classes cover physical and mental conditioning in styles such as children's karate, or muay thai kickboxing, Brazilian jujitsu, and mixed martial arts for teens, adults, and ninja turtles.
BounceU transports kids to an inflatable, climate-controlled playground, where they can bounce from side to side in a safe, secure environment. Your two passes are valid toward any combination of open bounce sessions scheduled at various times throughout the week (a $7 value per child) and family bounce night every Tuesday from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. (an $8 value for the first child, $7 for each additional sibling). Kids can imagine they're synchronized leapers in Michael Flatley's Riverbounce as they carom around the inflatable stadium, expending energy with every leap. Adults are welcome to act like eight-year-olds and join the vivacious youngsters in the playground, where they can duel with the foam-shooting equipment or mount the climbing structures.
The American Kickboxing Academy, a mixed-martial-arts fitness center, sculpts the torsos and minds of everyone from tykes to elders with a potpourri of disciplines. Choose from a variety of classes that run 60–90 minutes from early in the morning to late in the evening, six days a week. Break out striking knees and elbows with muay thai kickboxing classes or try Brazilian jiu jitsu to vanquish opponents of any stature, from Bilbo Baggins to Andre the Giant, with a series of quick and effective strikes and maneuvers.

2nd May, 1928
My dear P.M.
I was delighted to receive by the last mail your monumental letters of 19th and 20th March, and I am rather appalled at the amount of time that I was the direct cause of your giving up at one blow to my letters. [1] I ventured to let Hankey [2] see extracts, and he was as interested as I was at the expression of your views in so many directions.
I am reliably informed that both the King and the Prime Minister [3] have had what were described as 'earnest conversations' with the Prince of Wales with regard to his obligations to the nation in the matter of his marriage. In consequence, Princess Ingrid of Sweden is coming to London shortly in order to give the Prince an opportunity of meeting her 'with view to above' as the matrimonial advertisements say. The Prince is said not to be favourably inclined towards the Greek princess. So that you may possibly be spared your part in the proceedings! [4]
Sir Charles Davis [5] tells me that he sat next to Lord Kylsant [6] two days ago at lunch and that the latter told him the story of my visit to him at his place in Wales in December 1924, with regard to the initial stage of the sale of the Commonwealth Line.
[7] Davis says that Kylsant seemed quite pleased with himself about his purchase but that he was a little on tenterhooks as to what the immediate future held for him by reason of the threatened blacklisting of the ships. [8]
The cartoons by Low [9] that I have sent you from time to time are selected ones. He now grinds out two or three a week for the 'Evening Standard' and most of them are thin and poor in ideas in consequence. He badly wants someone to produce brainwaves for him.
He can do the technical draughtsmanship better than anyone I know.
In the superficial age of 'eye and ear food' in which we live, inspired cartoons have a great pulling power. I have always thought that the big political parties in Australia should reinforce their armoury by retaining the services of a first-rate cartoonist. You could have 'blocks' made of his cartoons and distribute them to the small organs of the provincial press ready for reproduction. The cost in this way would be small.
The amateur cinematograph camera has become a practical machine for the ordinary person. I have one and find it most entertaining.
I propose to make a film, which I will call 'Whitehall', on the lines of the recent successful German film called 'Berlin', which set out to convey an impression of the activities of the city of Berlin between daylight and dark. I would try to give a lifelike picture of Hankey, Chamberlain [10], Amery [11], etc., arriving at their offices and at work in their respective Departments; then the life history of a despatch arriving in the Foreign Office, being registered, going to the man concerned in the proper Department, being minuted and going up the scale to Chamberlain, and so on.
If you have any means of projecting such a film, I would send you out a copy if it turns out at all well.
The cinema industry is in an interesting stage in this country and its development, from the superficial look at it that I have made, promises well for the future. It has been enabled to expand tremendously by virtue of the 'quota' and some really intelligent people arc becoming associated with it.
I have seen letters from Nichols [12] (F.O. representative to New Zealand) who apparently very much appreciated the opportunities that you gave him to meet and talk to you. In writing to a friend here he tells a story illustrating the free and easy bonhomie of our particular Dominion. He hurriedly jumped into a taxi in Melbourne and said: 'Drive me to Myoora.' The man grinned amiably and said: 'Delighted, where does she live?'
Mr. im Thurn [13], who acknowledged to having been the instrument through whom the Zinovief letter reached the Press of this country just before the last General Election [14], is a brother-in-law of Koppel [15] of the Foreign Office. Maxse [16], who was mixed up in the 'Francs' case [17] with which the Zinovief affair has been linked, was Koppel's assistant. It will be surprising if these simple (and, in reality, completely unrelated) facts are not given some sinister significance by the Labour Party at or before the next Election. It is a wonder they have lain hidden so long.
It is obvious that in the last six months or so there has been a great increase in public gambling on the London Stock Exchange.
Any broker or jobber will tell you that the business, in industrials in particular, has been phenomenal and that there is a distinctly new element in the market, in the shape of people who have never gone in for Stock Exchange operations before. The result has been what you might almost call a riot of speculation that has forced the prices of many securities up to heights that have no justification on balance sheet figures.
Tom Jones [18] met Henry Ford twice during his visit. He says he thinks he is an imbecile on any subject other than making cars.
His political and international views, he says, are childlike.
This squares exactly with my impression of him when I dined with him in Detroit five years ago.
It appears that Amanulla [19] is quite an amateur conjurer.
Chamberlain recently told the Cabinet the story of a banquet by the City Fathers at Liverpool when they sought to entertain Amanulla after dinner by some very expert conjurers they had got together for his entertainment. The first two tricks that were done before him, Amanulla got up and did them rather better than the conjurer himself-rather to the conjurer's discomfiture. He was eventually defeated, however, by the activities of the inner ring of conjurers who call themselves 'The Magic Circle'. They did very advanced conjuring that apparently completely defeated Amanulla.
I am giving a dinner shortly to let Sir Hugo Hirst [20] meet half- a-dozen representative men connected with Australian interests, such as Nivison [21], John Sanderson [22], Andrew Williamson [23], etc.
I am, Yours sincerely, R.G. CASEY
