Nice! I would love to find a Blue Ivory that's so far along. Mine is a small fry, and I hear its a slow grower. I'd love to see how it unfurls..post an update in a couple weeks! Happy birthday! |

Great buys!! My peonies are only now breaking through the mulch. The hosta are showing no signs of life. |

Awesome deals! Good score :) Vanessa |
Nice hostas to show pips now. I tried to get stumps out from 6 ft arborvitae which I just had cut down, could not because the ground is still frozen. No hosta pips either. Bernd |
NO hosta pips so far here in NYC. I am, however, seeing all but 2 of my heucheras showing tiny baby leaves in the middle. The only 2 that are not are Georgia Peach and Marmalade, the 2 largest of my heuchies. I went into my basement storage room today to soak my 6 held-over geraniums. Wow! I saw green on all of them! One of them even was growing a couple of tiny baby leaves. This was my first try at over-wintering geraniums, thus the thrill of seeming success. So I took them out of the basement storage room and potted them, then put them under artificial light in the living room. It's not the intense light of outdoors, but I hope to nurse them along for 3 more weeks til I can plant them outside. |

Those are nice... I am hoping my "bulbs" do something. I think 2 or 3 look like they might? (I got 5 of U. Medio Variegata.) Greenhouses aren't even up yet here... And even the box stores don't have any hosta or anything good right now. Probably another couple of weeks before they do. |
Nice! You just reminded me of a certain greenhouse that overwinters their pots and sometimes I get some great steals from them in the early spring....add'l pips in the pots, with last year's price tag. I remember I got some Eola Sapphires with 11-13 eyes each. I better get over there asap! I have the hosta bug really bad this spring. |

If I could have found a Liberty with that many eyes I would have gotten 2! I think both were good buys for the size |

Small souls, extant and visible in the world, come around to fill in the gaps towards the fruition of our humanity. They offer small things that confident people sometimes cannot offer, a recognition of suffering and injustice… and with gentle resolve, they lie quietly at our feet, dreaming magnificent combinations of swift motion and endless adoration.
The surliness of my teachers from Junior High and High School was always a great mystery and source of fascination. Mr. Toad in particular was brilliant, but also a very "Tough Nut" as my father put it so often.
Jim Toad had gone to war during WWII and served as a guard at a secret US POW facility somewhere in the Philippine Archipelago. He was an expert in American History and World War II.
When someone victimized the helpless, he could be a mean bastard.
I was still in junior high school when I saw him slap an older kid, and the sound carried across the street from the schoolyard to the porch of a sweet old retired grade school teacher's house. She came onto her porch and stood with her hands against each side of her face.
"Goddamn you Jim!…You barbarian! That boy is smaller than you!"
Mr. Toad's face flushed bright red and he turned and bowed to the lady, with his hands together in a sort of prayer gesture.
The interesting thing the old lady did not see was the way Dennis Braun and his buddies had nearly beat a stray dog to death at the edge of the schoolyard. The dog, a male, was not much more than a pup, with wiry hair in tones of red and grey. He limped over to the protection of a neighbor's hedge, and lay whimpering in the cool shade.
Dennis was the main instigator of the beating. He spun around when he heard Mr. Toad's shouting. He shot an insolent smile at his friends, and walked over to face the teacher. Mr. Toad said something to Dennis, who rolled his eyes, mouthed something, and then spit in Mr. Toad's face.
The boy was lifted off the ground by Mr. Toad's slap. Dennis ended up on the ground, lying on his back, crying, and I could see a red print on the side of his face. He climbed to his feet, in spite of the trauma, and walked up the sidewalk towards his house.
Mr. Toad was called down for the assault. He argued with the parents and the principal. Shouts punctuated the afternoon stupor of the dusty, hardwood halls at our school. When the shouting stopped, Mr. Toad was right back in our classroom, telling us how ridiculous Adolf Hitler must have looked doing his little jigs whenever his staff brought him good news from the various fronts. Toad was fair, but aggressive, and he hated only two things more than insubordination…Cruelty and Injustice.
Many of us had heard about the Law of Karma for the first time in Mr. Toad's class. He was talking about the estimated numbers of people killed by Stalin and Hitler during the time of their regimes. When Mr. Toad talked about villainy, his eyes narrowed, and he tensed his jaw, leaving little doubt of his contempt.
A student blurted out, "I'll bet you would like to get old Hitler in the ring for some rounds!"
Mr. Toad softened slightly. "My hatred for these oppressors is of little consequence. They are getting payback a thousand fold."
This was confusing to us. We all knew Hitler was dead…at least many officials said he had taken his own life. Stalin had died in 1953, one month before I was born.
"You people remember the thing you learned in science about every action creating its own equal and opposite reaction? The same is true in other realms. All of existence is continually recycled…again and again in infinite permutations. In other words, the actions of your life in your present form determines your future in other forms, after you die, and shed your present body."
Joey raised his hand, "You mean, Hitler will come back as a guy again?"
I was fascinated, "Or could he come back as a horse, or pig, or something?"
"We can't know for sure, but I am sure about one thing. The man must have a reckoning for what he did, a balance of his Karma, but no other person has right or reason to control another's progression."
"Mr. Toad, what do you think will happen to these two bad guys?"
Mr. Toad was clenching his fist. His knuckles lost color.
"It's not mine to decide, but for the sake of all the people he slaughtered, I would like to think Stalin, along with his henchmen, exist at a mineral level, with the remaining molecules of their nerve endings grinding deep beneath the earth, in endless fire and impossible pressure."
We all sat stunned, as we always did when Mr. Toad read poetry, or launched into a fascinating rant.
Finally someone asked, "What about old Adolf?"
"He is a suicide…I imagine the first sound he heard after the moment of death was the sound of his own cry as he was being reborn. I would like to imagine horrors that await him in this next life, but I shouldn' express my wishes in such a way. I'm breaking my own rules here. I don't want vengeance to fester in me or with all of you. Let's move on to another subject."
Regardless of Mr. Toad's efforts to change topics, reincarnation remained the subject of the day, with broadly painted fantasies of our future forms. We compared wishes, not thinking about those ideas being connected to religion. It just seems like a seamless, likely order of things.
A number of years later, Dennis Braun was home visiting during his furlough from service in Vietnam, and he appeared in Mr. Toad's classroom door one morning. Mr. Toad stopped his lecture, excused himself in front of the class, and walked over to Dennis. They leaned their faces close to one another. Dennis was whispering something inaudible to Mr. Toad as a broad smile formed on his face. He grabbed the teacher's upper arms with both hands and gave him a swift, decisive shake. Mr. Toad walked back to the front of the class, signaling Dennis to come in and take a seat near the front.
Mr. Toad stood very straight, and announced in a booming, professorial voice, "Class, this man is Private Dennis Braun, he is home on leave from the Vietnam. He has just been awarded the Silver Star!"
The class erupted in applause with cheers and whistles. With the foreknowledge we had about awards given for bravery and sacrifice, we knew we were shaing the room with our own version of small-town greatness.
Other teachers, along with the principal appeared in the doorway. All the teachers and administrators shook our hero's hand in turn, some leaning in to comment under the surge of noise and excitement.
When the cheering faded, and we all reclaimed our seats, one of those puffy silences descended. For a brief moment, it was as if the cheers and shouts had not happened moments before. Dennis remained at the front of the class. Facing us, he shrugged and sat on the teacher's desk while we filled the silence with laughter and merry chatter. Someone threw a wad of paper from the back of the room and Dennis caught it in flight. He spat out his gum into it and winked at the group.
Mr. Toad held up his hand, and we all fell mute, our voices and laughter dropping away. He was smiling; the second time I had seen him smile in a month or so. Mr. Toad turned and walked to an adjacent wall where he kept a locked cabinet.
This was a mystery to most of us. The cabinet had the obvious security of a padlock, and we knew it contained important things. He jangled a fat wad of keys in his huge, veiny hands, opened the doors to the cabinet and removed something dark. He wheeled around and threw a pair of black boxing gloves to Dennis.
The soldier was startled, but he caught the gloves, looked back at M. Toad, smiled, and gave a slight nod. Mr. Toad walked back to the front of the class and bellowed, "People, gymnasium in five minutes…do not be late, no messing around, use the restroom! I'm keeping role!"
In the lower level of our ancient school building, the glorious green tile of the floor dominated the beige walls of the small gym. Over the years, the cleaning staff had made a commitment to the importance of the floor's surface. The coats of high gloss enriched our building with the deepest forest green. We all recognized the solemnity of the ground floor, and its importance to the identity of the space where we found the grudging distances that remained for each of us to reach physical perfection. Ropes were dutifully climbed, basket shots were taken, volley-balls were mistakenly captured by the nets, and the stage that capped the southern end gave us a platform for the myriad imaginations of young, conflicted minds… and of all the attributes of that early twentieth century structure, the floor of the gym inhabited everyone's memories with a certain emerald perfection.
We assembled, sitting on the green floor, making a circle upon the cold tile, where we imagined a live drama would thrill us. We gathered, and traded speculations on what might happen. A few of the kids, knowing the story of Dennis and Mr. Toad, became a little frighenedl…some wanted to leave, others wiped back tears.
In the part of the circle of floor sitters where I sat, one of the class bullies leaned out, looking in the direction of the distraught students.
"Pussies!...it's a boxing match!....for cripe's sake!"
Ferrin Torkelson was one of the unfortunate kids who had to grow into manhood before his time. He had lost his mother when he was eight years old. His alcoholic father, was gone most of the time. Ferrin was tough and invincible. We stayed away from him when we could. In circumstances where we were thrown together, Ferrin was not questioned.
"Pussies you say?"
We were shocked hearing those words from an adult voice. It was Dennis Braun, standing to the side of the stage. He had entered the gym through one of the stage access doors. The students went silent. All of us watched Dennis, wishing for a performance from our new hero.
We waited… Dennis walked to the center of our circle.
"Some of you know the details of my old relationship with Mr. Toad. On the battle fields in war, a man's stamina and courage is stretched to the point where most of you could neve imagine. I'll share with you how one of the lessons I learned at the school saved me, and several other brave buddies of mine.
On the boarder with Thailand, we found what we thought were the remains of a small dog in one of the blast ditches along the ridge of a hill where we were attempting to set up a staging area. The pup was alive. Several of the men thought we should kill it. they thought it was the merciful thing to do. My Lt. said 'no'.
In my mind, I heard Mr. Toad's voice, telling me to step up and take responsibility. 'Opportunities for showing kindness must be acted on, and in turn rewards are given…'
The words were the centerpiece of his belief that kindness opens sacred possibilities in the world. I took the pup, washed his wounds and brought him back to health where he could be used as a working animal. He was a sound Labrador and Doberman mix. We named him Styx. He stayed with us for the next 18 months. The lives of six infantrymen were saved by this dog. He could find the enemy quicker than anybody.
One morning, Styx ran into the jungle and we never saw him again. I hoped he was fine with the VC. Dogs are eaten in this part of the world, but I always had a good feeling about his safety, and on a practical note, we never came across any bones, or scenes of animal slaughter.
Styx won the medal…not me. In the time we had him, he lead me across enemy fire to rendezvous with four soldiers. One of the guys was in bad shape. I was able to radio them out, and were it not for Styx, those men would have died in the ditch where I found them."
The silence of the gym was unusual. Not even the plumbing creaked. All the students were mute, thinking about the drama on the other side of the world. Ove there, unimaginable confusion and heartache was a constant companion, with no stillness anywhere, save the fellowship of comrades, both human and K-9.
"You kids…you expect a contest. But I am tired of fighting. Mr. Toad knows this. I have worn these glove before, and when I was in school, I came to know the difference between what a man might selfishly take from his fellows, or what he might rightly do to benefit all people."
Dennis turned to Mr. Toad and said, "Sir. I will not fight you. I forfeit the contest in honor of the things you showed me…things to live by."
The gloves fell to the floor.
Mr. Toad smiled. He walked past Dennis, patting his shoulder. At the double doors that opened into the gym from the adjacent hallway, Mr. Toad swung them open. In the entryway stood a student holding a leash. To his left sat a wiry haired dog, whose rosy coat was punctuated with wisps of black and grey. Mr. Toad giggled slightly, then gave a soft whistle...He turned and said:
"I called him Jack. He is my best friend. He loves this old gym. He loves…he loves…."
The cheers were deafening, some kids jumped to their feet. Others whistled and called out. The student led the eager dog towards the soldier. Dennis, overcome with emotion, fell to one knee. He embraced the dog. The student handed the leash to Dennis, as Jack excitedly writhed back and forth, his tail seeming to wag his wiry bulk.
Mr. Toad was holding a handkerchief to his face. He was gesturing with his hand as if he was bidding someone or something to take off. It was one of those signals that said, "I'll be OK, your stuff is more important."
One of the most memorable things about that day was seeing Ferrin Torkelson petting and stroking the dog. His face softened as he fended off Jack's nose butts and wet, busy tongue.
More than anything, I'll never forget being slightly shy and numb, lying on that green floor, with my ear pressed against it's cool surface. I always tried to listen for Stalin's terrible wails, remembering his karmic exile; a tenant of the mineral world. It was only a strange fantasy of my teacher's design, and those vengeful imaginings faded quickly as I watched the upside-down, emerald reflections of our splendid reunion…
I'm of the opinion that the perception that recognizes "character" is diminishing rather than expanding and pity the poor "subversive" who tries to point it out. Leadership is mostly given lip service, when it occurs often it is not recognized or seen as a threat. Thanks for making the case.
Now we are the ones who are blessed, because you also have the incredible gift of imparting those lessons to us so vividly, we are there with you.
Well done, thank you.
Rated Highly
Gary, you use such vivid details, you build this so well, incorporating conceptual material and ordinary grit and history and realistic characters. It is beautiful and full of heart and I am so glad I read it today.
I don't believe in Karma, and in fact think it is a despicable idea. But your story is so effective on so many levels, I rode with your premise all the way through, because of the skill and feeling you put in this. Close to magic,what you have done here.
Interested in the choice of image at the end of the piece. Caught me by surprise.
What a rich piece.
Verbal, you are very fine to give this sort of feedback…. And m.a.h, it is possible, and probable, even if a person does not believe…
Hello Ben, I do not know if there are any ore folks like the character Mr. Toad (his name was different in real life). They were confirmed bachelors, damaged by the war, or by people back from the war. Self-motivators, aggressive, but also selfless in their courage in the face of crisis. One felt secure around them.

There are no secrets at South Shore Cosmetic Surgeons. And that's because Doctors K. A. Hassan and H. Waheed believe educated clients make the best decisions and will feel most comfortable during their treatments. So for more than 20 years, the doctors have taken the time to educate clients on a variety of available treatments, from dermal fillers and Thermage treatments to rhinoplasty.
At Advanced Implant & Cosmetic Dental P.C., the dentists strive to beautify smiles, restore chipped chompers and safeguarding pristine teeth against cavities and other mouth-born ailments. Their treatments span from preventative exams and x-rays, to extractions, root canals, and orthodontics. To bring even more attention to newly attained smiles, they also provide teeth-whitening treatments or retainers wired with neon lights.
Dr. Wayne H. Wertheim, medical director of Island Medical Laser, throws roadblocks in the path of the rapid advance of time through custom skin and body-contouring treatments. He and his team enlist facials, injectable solutions, and laser beams to drive away wrinkles and keep age spots relegated to the hides of old leopards. Noninvasive and minimally invasive procedures get to work melting fat and cellulite from problem areas. Alternatively, a range of lasers zero in on unwanted hair, blasting it from bodies or hairless cats that have gotten other ideas.

Love Your Tan has mastered the art of creating a fresh, off-the-beach look?minus the beach (and the sun). The salon's high-performance booths, all of which are outfitted to connect with iPods or other music sources, include standup beds, high-pressure beds, plus options for rotating face bulbs for a little extra pop of bronze. Along with bed tanning, bronze-seekers can opt for airbrush spray tanning. The perks of a spray tan go far past a natural-looking tan, too. The spray contains small amounts of caffeine to help correct and prevent sun damage, and is a fast-drying, streak-free formula with skin-firming technology, essentially making it the sun's younger, more successful sibling.
Licensed medical aesthetician Phyllis Gasparri performs each facial treatment at Skin Perfect, drawing on more than 25 years of experience as she treats acne and wrinkles during services that emphasize clinical approaches to skincare. Among her weapons of choice are lasers—which she uses to reduce scar tissue and remove hair and tattoos—and exfoliation tools such as microdermabrasion wands and chemical-peel solutions. To keep up their progress, clients can take home products from SkinCeuticals and Cell Renewal Systems or purchase one of the shop's own line of mini facial steamers, which sterilize and clean the face while discreetly opening envelopes within a 50-yard radius.

text: We had the three-course €13.80 menu. 50cl carafe of wine was €5.20 so good value all round. Food was really good - we both started with moules which very tasty then I had the roasted sea bass with basil & chips - can't remember the other dishes but the food was very good. Definitely recommended.

The computer system designed by Raskin doesn't leave room for these types of nuances. The digits it spits out at the end of an examination are flat and emotionless.
"Examiners are still trained to watch a subject's body language," says DA investigator Grant, "but with this instrument, it all comes down to the analysis and opinion of a competent examiner. In order to have a good test, you have to have a well-trained examiner, a good instrument and good questions. Two of those depend on the examiner. I'll be the first to tell you that this instrument isn't a hundred percent, but it's reliable. And looking at that, it's hard to say if this instrument has replaced an investigator's gut instinct or not."
But, Rode says, his ultimate determination "is made by the charts produced by the instrument. There have been times when I thought someone was overwhelmingly guilty but they tested truthfully. Had I relied upon my gut instinct, I would have done a disservice to that individual."
And the removal of instinct is what makes the computerized polygraph attractive to Gene Parker.
"This instrument takes the human element out of the polygraph," says Parker. "If the questions are formulated properly, it is absolute as to the truth. This instrument represents the civilized world's last attempt to tell the difference between truth and deception.

Vacation is over and most classes resume Wednesday at Billings' three public high schools.
Beginning Wednesday morning, many of the thousands of high school students headed back to school will be arriving in their own cars. The thought sends a chill through Sue Larson.
"I absolutely dread it," she said.
Larson lives on Cook Avenue, a half block from the east entrance of West High, and every year she says the start of school brings to her street erratic driving, litter and illegal parking.
Last year, she said, was especially bad.
Larson's driveway is narrow and if students park too close to the opening, she's unable to back out, making her late for work. Last year, she regularly wrote down license plate numbers and called the school, but nothing was ever done, she said.
"The kids run the neighborhood," she said.
In an effort to improve the situation, Larson complained to the city, which sent maintenance crews to the neighborhood this summer.
The crews repainted in bright yellow the curbs where people aren't allowed to park. Larson is hopeful that will make a difference.
Students will also be receiving more parking tickets. Billings Police Chief Rich St. John has assigned members of BPD's volunteer corps — who are authorized to write tickets — to enforce parking laws in the neighborhoods surrounding West.
Tom Halvorson, Larson's next-door neighbor, hasn't had quite the trouble Larson has.
"Most of the kids are pretty good. It's just the handful," he said.
A couple of years ago, he got after a student for parking in front of his driveway and she turned around and cursed him out.
"I never heard such language out of a teenage girl," he said.
A block over on Howard Avenue, which runs straight into the high school's parking lot, neighbors have seen fewer problems.
"They never park anywhere near our driveway," said Jeanne Moran, who lives a block from West. "We haven't had any problems with the kids."
Across the street, Moran's neighbor agreed.
"I think the school is a really good neighbor," said Carol Ferrell.
Ferrell has lived on Howard for 32 years and has grown accustomed to the the rhythms of the neighborhood as school lets out and classes resume.
"Once in a great while, I'll see a hamburger wrapper," she said. But for the most part the students "are pretty respectful."
But that's not the experience of Lee Franks, who lives a hamburger wrapper's throw from Senior High on Avenue B.
"The biggest problem is the junk they leave in the street," she said.
The amount of trash left behind by students is pretty remarkable, she said. For a while, her neighbor would place the trash she collected off her yard under the windshield wiper of whatever student had parked in front of her house.
"I'm not sure that was really effective," Franks said with a laugh.
Parking can be a problem, she said. But it's not bad.
City officials, who say they regularly hear from neighbors living around West and Senior, don't hear the same complaints from those living around Skyview High.
Larson, down the street from West, acknowledged the various moves the city has taken in trying to solve some of the problems. She said she's trying to be optimistic about the coming school year.
"I'm hoping it'll be better," she said.

Hello all! I'm so happy I found this forum! I've been on GardenWeb a while and wondered why they didn't have a pet forum...and here it is!
Anyhoo, I have a question for you all. I can't figure out which of my cats is "dominant". I have two. One is a Maine Coone, his name is "Fatty". The other is a regular american short hair named "Baloney". Don't laugh TOO hard, I didn't pick the names, the PO did :). I always thought Fatty was the dominant one, he seemed to have first choice of all the good sitting spots. Baloney always has first dibs at the soft food, but the PO said it's always been like that, even though Baloney was the least dominant one of her 3 cats. Lately, Baloney has been getting on Fatty's back when he's laying down and standing there. Eventually Fatty has enough, rolls over, and swats him in the face. Fatty then either walks away in aggravation or moves over, continues to lay down, with his tail swatting around in aggravation. What does this mean? Does this mean Baloney is the dominant one and is reinforcing it? Or that Baloney is trying to become the dominant one? At night while we're sleeping, fatty sits at the bottom of the stairs and scans the main level and waits for me to come down so he can pretend to attack. Baloney sits at the top and sleeps. They rough-house sometimes (chase each other around, play, sometimes I will find fur tufts) but nothing out of the ordinary. Fatty is much more outgoing and tolerant of our three dogs (two beagles and a foxhound) than Baloney. Fatty sometimes joins the dogs during dinner time and cuddles with the foxhound. Baloney wants nothing to do with the dogs. Any thoughts? Here's a couple pics of my sweet babies.
This is Fatty (maine coone) with my lovely, lazy foxhound Lola:
This is both of them enjoying a day looking out onto my deck garden (Baloney on the left). We have replaced the window since then, don't want ya guys thinkin I'm a bad homeowner! :):

beautifull kitties! Mounting is a dominant behavior, & Maine Coons are notoriously dominating as a breed. Cats do seem to choose one person as their own "pet", &, again, Maine Coons are more extreme than a lot of others. |

Nurses eat their young - now I understand why. - page 3
I started working for a sub-acute LTC as the DSD last week. The DON and I hit it off because we have the same vision on what we need to do in order to solve the problems we current have. Early... Read More
1Mar 25, '12 by gallateaQuote from netglowI agree on everything but the "girl scout" stuff. Core measures, mission, all that is just marketing crap. Ask pathophysiology questions. Give any scenario... give some info and ask what they'd do, what they are thinking...
Also don't interview babies, or those who are in their 30's+ who have never had a professional working life. Interview people who have already had one career and proved themselves in that. Ask for references from that first career, too. Second career folks understand what work is... and often had some healthcare experience during the quest for a nursing career because they know it's needed.
Would save you a lot of time.
Amen to that.netglow likes this. -
17Mar 25, '12 by nurseaigGive me a break. I would not want to work for an institution that want to hire me as the charge nurse without any experience. And I personally think the OP is not trying to pay the true value for that charge nurse that they want to fill in that spot. They are trying to get over on the applicants inexperience. They should be a shame of want they are doing.
7Mar 25, '12 by chevyvI have never heard of Core Measures until this post. I'm not sure a new grad would be able to tell you anything. My deer in the headlight look would have sunk me for sure, lol!
I do have to tell you that if I have planned a vacation, I would have told you flat out. Not sure when you would want to hear it, but once funds are invested and plans made, I would hope you would understand that. Did you expect her to cancel?
You're asking for someone with no experience so you can train them the way you want them. I also imagine that perhaps you can also pay them for the experience they don't have rather than for someone who has a bit of experience under their belt?
I remember all too well my first interview as a new grad. It went well until the end. I learned a lot that day. Each interview is a learning process for both. I'm sure the right applicant will come along. There are so many out there that the right one has to be right around the corner! -
17Mar 25, '12 by GrnTea, BSN, MSN, RNi don't pick up that they're arrogant, just inexperienced and having somehow gotten a completely wrong idea about working life. all of these will resolve with time.
and really, you have to hire somebody with some experience. are you really expecting your seasoned staff to look on a new grad as an authority figure in charge? setting up everybody for failure and bad feelings all the way around. -
10Mar 25, '12 by OCNRN63Quote from netglowI disagree with this. I had odd jobs as a teenager, but I was a "baby" when I graduated; I hadn't had another career previously, and I didn't have a previous job as an RN. Someone had to take a chance on me. Fortunately, I got the job in the specialty I wanted.I agree on everything but the "girl scout" stuff. Core measures, mission, all that is just marketing crap. Ask pathophysiology questions. Give any scenario... give some info and ask what they'd do, what they are thinking...
Also don't interview babies, or those who are in their 30's+ who have never had a professional working life. Interview people who have already had one career and proved themselves in that. Ask for references from that first career, too. Second career folks understand what work is... and often had some healthcare experience during the quest for a nursing career because they know it's needed.
Would save you a lot of time.
I knew what work was. I'd been a nurse's aide, ad I'd gone to a diploma program that taught us what work as an RN was.
That comment really irks me. It takes out a lot of people who want to be nurses and probably be great ones. And as far as the second-career statement, that could be looked at from another perspective. If you weren't satisfied with your previous career, how long will it take before you're unhappy with this one.
I do agree with this situation that the OP is asking for an awful lot. Three days of orientation isn't enough for seaside nurse, let alone a new one. -
12Mar 25, '12 by mazyQuote from gallateaBottom of the barrel? Really? Last resort? Seriously? It takes a special kind of nurse to work in LTC, and just because someone is determined to work L&D or ICU or ER or any hospital position does not automatically make them "top of the barrel."I think you also have to realize, you're getting the bottom of the barrel in applicants. At the end of my program not one person signed up to do a LTC integrated practicum or co-op. It's the last resort for all but about 1%. Nobody chooses to work in LTC it seems, it's what you do when no hospital will hire you. Many of them may resent having to apply for your job and I've had friends that worked in LTC. After years of it, they would say a sign of a bad nursing home is that it wreaks of BM. Think about how you're presenting your place of employment to them as well if you want a really great employee.
0Mar 25, '12 by RN_MarieWhile I do love to get more experienced nurses, in this tough economy I dare anyone who has been in the job market for a year or so and would not want work. Say what you want with a LTC, but when you have been applying for everything for a year and no luck. A job is better than no job.
I ask you this, can you honestly say that you are a nurse when you have never functioned as one? When you have never performed any duties of a nurse? When you never had the opportunity to pick up the phone and call a doctor? When you have to tell a family that their father has passed away? When you've never given medications outside of the clinical setting?
Also, I never said that the orientation is three days. It's a 2-month program. Plus, I don't interview graduate nurses that has just received their licenses. I want them to get the best experience they could have and I agree that is with the acute setting. That said, I selected candidates who had been in the job market for a year or so. People who do not qualify anymore to the new grad RN programs.
So when you have been in the market for a year, you now have a chance for a job and that's what you say to the one interviewing you? I should have made myself clearer.
I inserted an excerpt from the resume I was talking about.
3Mar 25, '12 by Perpetual StudentThat resume excerpt is absurd. I try to laugh but only tears come out. I take it that one is from the vet tech?
I wonder if she developed that on her own, or if her school's folks who help with resume writing came up with that. If it's the latter, I feel sorry for her, as I bet dollars to doughnuts that her arrogant (or clueless) resume is certainly part of why she's having a hard time finding a job. If she did a better job of tailoring her resume to the positions she's applying for, and emphasized how she can translate her vet tech experience into human nursing rather than implying they're equivalent, she'd probably (on paper) be a very competitive candidate. -
1Mar 25, '12 by SurrenderDorothyYep, that probably has to be the vet nurse. The word necropsy and the addition of dental procedures pretty much gives that away. It's too bad because she could easily translate her clinical veterinary skills into skills that would be very much desirable as a "human" nurse.SHGR likes this.

Matthew George "Matt" Frewer (born January 4, 1958) is a Canadian American stage, TV and film actor.[1] Acting since 1983, he is known for portraying the 1980s icon Max Headroom,[2] the retired villain Moloch in the film adaptation of Watchmen,[3] and Doctor Leekie in the 2013 Canadian science fiction drama Orphan Black.
Frewer was born in Washington, D.C., the son of Gillian Anne (née German) and Frederick Charlesley Frewer, a Royal Canadian Navy officer.[4] He was raised in Peterborough, Ontario, and trained at the famous Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, graduating from its three-year acting course in 1980.
He portrayed the artificial intelligence character of Max Headroom in the 1980s, starring in a British-made science fiction TV movie of the same name (1985) followed by The Original Max Talking Headroom Show (1987) and an American series based upon the 1985 movie, titled Max Headroom (1987–1988). He also portrayed the character in other media, including a series of television commercials for "New Coke", as well as the single and music video for "Paranoimia" by Art of Noise. Frewer starred as Dr. Mike Stratford in the CBS situation comedy series Doctor Doctor (1989–1991).
Frewer also appeared as "Trashcan Man" in Mick Garris' ABC television miniseries adaptation of Stephen King's horror novel The Stand.
Frewer appeared in such films as The Fourth Protocol (1987, with Joanna Cassidy), Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (1989, with Rick Moranis, Amy O'Neill, Carl Steven, and Mark L. Taylor), National Lampoon's Senior Trip (1995, with Nicole de Boer), and the 2004 remake of Dawn of the Dead.
Frewer was nominated for two Gemini Awards in 2000, one for a guest appearance on Da Vinci's Inquest (a series which starred Nicholas Campbell) and another for his work on the series Mentors. He was a regular on the Syfy original series Eureka during the show's first two seasons, playing eccentric Australian animal expert Jim Taggart. Frewer has done voice-over work on several animated projects, including Batman: The Animated Series (1993) and The Incredible Hulk (1996–1997). Frewer played Case Manager Matt Praeger in the Canadian Sci-Fi series PSI Factor: Chronicles of the Paranormal from 1997-2000; the series was created by Peter Aykroyd and was presented by Dan Aykroyd .[citation needed]
In 2009, Frewer played the retired villain Moloch the Mystic in the film adaptation of the comic book series Watchmen, and appears as the White Knight in the December 2009 Syfy two-part miniseries Alice, based upon Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Frewer starred as Pestilence in two episodes of Season 5 of Supernatural.[5] Frewer has appeared in several screen adaptations of Stephen King stories, such as The Stand, Quicksilver Highway, Riding The Bullet, Desperation, and Bag of Bones.
He was a regular on the first two seasons of the science fiction television series Orphan Black.
He is married to the British actress Amanda Hillwood.

The problem is that the moment such a filter is implemented, organizations that already use other methods to get rid of images they don't approve, will demand such filter to be enabled on their whim, without allowing people to opt out.
As long as the organization's you are referring to are not ISP's then I'm fine with this too. If you're on someone else's equipment (eg: work), you are subject to their rules.

EA = Monopoly (64 comments)
EA is better off putting out roster updates. They practically own a monopoly on sports games (particularly the Madden series), and whenever they put out a new "feature", it's usually more-or-less something that benefits them and hurts the consumer. I'm sick of buying half a game, and EA is one of the biggest offenders IMO.

Its also quite arguably libelous claiming or inferring that a competitor is stealing your product. If they actually believe this to be true, why not launch an actual lawsuit.

Thanks, BierMuncher. Much appreciated!
I got a batch of this just carbed up I am sampling today when I get home. Can't wait, I love the real thing.
Tasted great!! Only carbed for 7 days though. The hop aroma was a lot more than the real one but I bet it will mellow out some as time goes on. Not a bad thing, but right now it's different. SHAME ON ME!! Forgot to say thank you to Biermuncher for posting this. Thank You!
-Dave "Give a man a beer, he'll drink for the day.Teach a man to brew, he'll be drunk the rest of his life." -Anonymous
I'm going to brew this one up today- heating up the strike water as we speak. I'm going for 11 gallons as I just tried Fire Rock yesterday and wow this is good stuff. I am going to ferment half with s04 and half with s05 as that's what I have on hand. This is sort of a spur of the moment brew.
Whew, all done- wort in both their carboys just waiting fro them to chill down those final degrees to pitching temp. First 10 gallon batch on my system and it took my 10g igloo cooler to the limit.
And now you see that Evil will always triumph, because Good is dumb!
Bought a six pack of this awhile ago good stuff this is going on the to do list.
This turned out really great. Thanks BM

Buddhist scholarly work that provides an introduction to the seven Abhidharma treatises in the Sarvastivada canon and a digest of their contents. It was composed by the Buddhist monk Vasubandhu (fl. 4th or 5th century), who lived in northwestern India. It systematizes Sarvastivada doctrine and shows the influence of Mahayana, to which Vasubandhu later converted. It provides much information on doctrinal differences among the ancient Buddhist schools.

Cast-Iron Skillet Focaccia — The Weekender
by Marisa McClellan in Recipes, October 5th, 2012
I bought my first cast-iron skillet in my early twenties. I didn't have much of a budget for cookware in those days and all the advice I read said that cast iron was the best bang for my buck. All I really knew is that I didn't want to deal with flimsy, peeling, nonstick pans anymore.
I was initially a little nervous about introducing cast iron into my kitchen, because I'd grown up with a mother who hated cast iron with a passion. She thought it was too heavy, fussy to care for and entirely unsanitary (because you're not supposed to scrub it with soap. My mother is a firm believer in the power of a good, sudsy scour).
When my parents got married, she actually got rid of my dad's beloved collection of cast-iron skillets. Forty-two years later, those long-gone skillets continue to be one of the few bones of contention in their marriage.
With this history, it's understandable that I was uneasy about my own cast-iron purchase. Turns out my anxiety was entirely unwarranted. I fell hard for that first skillet, so much so that I added several others to my kitchen in short order. If my husband tossed out my skillets, I do believe it would be grounds for divorce.

Amazing Animals Abound
kabacchi/cc by 2.0 |
For your Friday enjoyment, here are some of the sweetest and most gosh-darn amazing animals we could find.
- These brainy crows owe their intelligence to a legacy of nurturing parenting. Are crow nannies in our future, perhaps?
- Like humans, chimpanzees and penguins grieve the loss of a child or family member.
- Prairie dogs have a language so advanced that they can describe humans down to the colors of their clothes. What Not to Wear: Prairie Dog Edition.
- This cat prefers strawberries to mice. Has she been reading PETA's website?
