As part of a kitchen redesign I want to include a small oven. I intend to use it truly as an OVEN (not primarily as a microwave). I'm looking at: - Miele 24" Speed Oven (convection and microwave), Anyone have either of the above? What do you like? What don't you like? Are there other small ovens I should consider? Any feedback would be most appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'm also looking at a these as well (as a second smaller oven). For me, since a microwave feature is hardly ever used and never to really cook in, I expanded my search to include the steam convection ovens too. I have looked at the Miele Speed and their newer Steam / Convection or Combi Steam oven (not the regular steam oven) and currently they are at the top of my list because of the added broil element and the ability to control the separate functions. I'm not settled on them yet but the added broil function would make them more usable for a regular oven for me. The new Wolf steam convection is a little larger inside and has the water reservoir on the exterior like the new Miele, but it lacks a broil function. I like the looks and finish out of the Wolf better (it is a 30" and not a 24") but I can't get past the functionality of the added broiler that the Miele would have. The Thermador also has the steam convection but the older style water reservoir behind the door that also makes the cavity smaller, but again, no broiler. I like the styling of it and they even have a new Professional version that matches their 30" Professional single oven better. I also looked at the Electrolux Speed oven, but besides lacking a broiler, it has less control over the separate functions (without not including the microwave function if I've read it correctly) than the Miele. But it gets great reviews and gas a popular following here. The Gaggeneau Steam Convection would be considered by many to be the best contender, but for me, the plumbing requirement plus their price as well as their modern styling, put it out of the running. I also saw that Bertazonni had a speed oven but had more microwaved combined functions instead of separate. And I knew that Viking had a speed oven at one time but believe that was discontinued plus of their current in limbo status, did not want to go there. I also need to have this smaller oven on top of a regular oven that would be the same manufacturer or blend. Speaking of that, many are happy with the GE Advantium and one creative poster installed one (euro handle) over a Wolf E series oven which looked great. For me, this was primarily a microwave even though you could have some control over the features separately. The Advantium has quite a few models but is either a 27" (120 volt only and less functionality) or a 30", so don't know if your 24" is your max size or not. They have the Profile series which is currently going thru design changes right now and they have their Monogram series (which has a Euro and a Professional style). I don't know if you have additional requirements like needing to match a single oven, max 24" size, matching or coordinating with another brand or handles or need under counter installation, or if this is your only oven. You might include other requirements so others could guide you better. I searched individually for reviews on these ovens and most say they use their Speed or Steam Conv ovens more than their regular oven. And I have read some of the manuals for all of the cooking modes with descriptions of where the heat comes from and details like clearance and ventilation issues (like I just read on another post about the new Miele Steam Convection oven that required additional ventilation inside the cabinet I believe they said. I'll look that up and see how my installation can accomplish that as I have no adjacent cabinet..Haven't read that one yet). For me, I like that the Miele has several handle options (a choice of 4 or 5 I believe) because if I go that route, I'd like a more traditional handle (than they offer) which I've got something in mind for that. Thermador also can have the choice of the Masterpiece or Professional handle for their Black glass Masterpiece Steam Convection oven, if that is a consideration for you. |

Kentuckiana Carpet Upholstery Cleaning's owner Jason Rigdon knows every one of his employees like the back of his perfectly clean hand. Each person on the crew is one of Mr. Rigdon's friends or relatives, though that's not the only reason they were hired. Each tech also has more than 15 years of experience cleaning carpets and battling stains. The team travels to homes and commercial spaces to spruce up carpets and upholstery using a truck-mounted hot-water-extraction system.
Stoess Manor fills hearts and hearths with a substantial selection of furniture, flooring, fabrics, and homey accessories. Cushion domestic treading with Shaw carpet (from $0.69 per sq. ft.), opt for sleeker footing with Mohawk Scotchguard hardwood flooring ($3.99 per sq. ft.), or replicate history's decisive checkers matches with tiles from Shaw and Mohawk (from $0.99 per sq. ft.). Customers can also use this Groupon towards an ever-expanding array of furniture from brands such as Hickory White, Taylor King, Artistica, and Emerson. Ditch a deadbeat dining room set for a Standard solid-wood table with four chairs and a steady job ($399), or count fashionable sheep from the chic comfort of a Standard queen leather bed ($399).
With a level of care and precision that recalls bakers mixing ingredients for a cake, the Color Surface team applies a concrete coating specially designed to beautify and protect the surfaces of patios, garages, and basement dungeons. The team's premium coating systems—many of which closely mimic the appearance of polished granite or terrazzo—protect surfaces from staining with advanced construction materials. Epoxy coatings help keep garages clean and dry, and acid-stain systems enhance basements without the risk of mold presented by carpeting or the risk of attack presented by live bear rugs. When they aren't laying new flooring, the team also builds custom concrete countertops and statues of Teddy Roosevelt to further enhance each home's look.
The handymen at Brothers Home Maintenance resurrect homes from the depth of grime on both the inside and out. The fearless professionals brave tall ladders to pluck leaves, twigs, and giants' toenail clippings from clogged gutters and to scrub windows bird-confusingly clean. They can also power wash exteriors, stain decks, and apply fresh paint to walls and trim. All this craftsmanship would be wasted if they focused solely on the outside of the house, so with equal aplomb, the team works to rekindle frayed electrical systems just in time for the lights to shower attention onto rebuilt carpentry projects, which they tackle with steady workmanship and experience.
Captained by double-board-certified Dr. Robert Kagan, the crew of contourers at Anew Allure specializes in a suite of minimally invasive cosmetic procedures. Natural fillers and water-assisted lipo number among their treatment options, and all patients receive a complimentary consultation to determine the best strategy for getting in shape before inner-tube season.
The multimedia specialists at Delp Video Services preserve memories through digital conversions and enhance footage through audio and video editing. Home videos preserved on VHS or MiniDV formats obtain sharper focus and easier accessibility after Delp's crew digitizes the memories on DVD. Similarly, tape technicians convert the contents of cassettes, such as old music or archives of favorite crank calls, onto CDs. For commercial accounts, Delp's services range from high-volume duplications bound within custom packaging to promotional-video production.

Re:Such a stupid click-bait article (353 comments)
I guess I shouldn't be surprised at the actual size of the Bugatti, either, given the differences I highlighted above.
In actuality, the Bugatti has a 28% larger wing area (despite its smaller wingspan) than the Bf109. They're also quite comprable in length - the 100P is only a meter (i.e. 11%) shorter.
Re:Such a stupid click-bait article (353 comments)
When you're arguing against sloppy writing, don't exaggerate the size differences among the contemporary planes.
Yes, the P-47, a ground attack fighter, is bulkier -- dramatically, even -- than the P-51 or Bf109 interceptors. However, it's only 4 feet wider and longer than the Mustang - about 10% more. Compared to the Messerschmitt, it's 25% longer and wider, and 32% taller. The Thunderbolt would barely be twice, not three times as large - and that's only if using a gross overestimation like comparing the total cubic volume of their bounding boxes.
See same-scale models for a side-by-side comparison of the difference. Dramatic? Yes. Three times the size? No.
TL;DR - The Bf109 is between three quarters to four fifths the size of a P-47, not 'one third' as claimed above.

Google: September 4, 1998.
Ebay: September 3, 1995.
Amazon: July, 1994.
For values of 'all' that equate to 'none but one', sure, that statement is true.

Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the highway.
The last time I saw that line, I decided to actually look into it.
In the 1970s, by which time the phrase was already in use, a typical station wagon would be something like an AMC Rebel. According to stats from Wikipedia, the Rebel has a cargo capacity of 91 cubic feet. For tape, the IBM 10.5" reel was the "defacto standard" from the 1950s "through the late 1980s". Assume 10.5"x10.5"x.5" i.e. 55.1 cubic-inch rectangular prisms as the tightest possible packing (which is optimistic, given that the tape itself is
This finally corresponds to a mid-1970s bandwidth of 390 gigabytes per 15.5 hours, or in more familiar units, 57 mbps (yes, bits not Bytes, as is typical for bandwidth units).
The modern version would probably need to substitute an SUV for the station wagon. A 2012 Ford Explorer is listed at 81 cubic feet. Using common modern tapes, like jb/jx tapes, you could hold ~7000. In gen4 mode, these tapes hold 1.6 TB (yes, 4TB tapes exist but seem too extraordinary for this usage). At typical cross-country speed of 68 mph, the same trip would be 13 hours, padded by the same half-hour for gas the previous figure was.
The modern version, then, works out to some 11 petabytes per 13 hours, or something like 1900 gbps. This works out to a full terabyte transferred every 4.2 seconds.
Do not underestimate, indeed!
Re:wtf (136 comments)
Your version of the Philippines' history is laughably wrong. We gained ownership of the islands around the turn of the century, not by the war as you imply. It's true that despite initially supporting the Philippines independence movement from Spain, we waged our own war against a rebelling populace after we received the islands in the Treaty of Manila (ending the Spanish-American War). The destroyed infrastructure was of the same pre-Industrial-Revolution kind that was largely being willfully destroyed elsewhere in the world. In the interrim, the Philippines prospered alongside the US - we established a modern health care system rivaling our own at the time, ended slavery, formed a national education system and civil bureaucracy. Throughout the 1930s efforts toward releasing the Philippines as a free and independent nation were well underway, with the first independent government elected in 1935 and the transition to be gradual to full independence a decade later. In WWII, the Japanese conquered the Philippines despite American and Phillipine attempts to defend it. Philippine and US troops alike died in the Bataan Death March. We of course hosted the legitimate citizen-elected government as a government-in-exile. After the official withdrawal of US troops, the Philippine Army )with large participation from underground movements) waged a guerilla war with support from what US remnants remained - against the unpopular Japanese-puppet regime. When we reinvaded in 1944, the civilian president Osmena literally accompanied MacArthur onto Leyte Island. We ceded the Philipines as scheduled before the war, in July 1946 - a mere 10 months (nearly to the day) after Japan's formal surrender. You paint a picture of an invading US army laying waste to the country and then holding onto it during and after WWII, when the exact opposite is far closer to the truth.

To be clear, it wasn't "mistakenly" seized. It was wrongfully seized. ICE knew exactly which domain it had seized, and denied any wrongdoing for more than a year. This wasn't the result of a typo on a list or anything else that could possibly warrant* calling this a mistake.
It's not as if the feds got back from their domain seizing spree and the wife said "Honey, I told you to pick up Diet DaJaz1.com!"
Not the only "warrantless" event in this situation, either.
Mythbusters (78 comments)
For what it's worth, this is the same Bay Model the Mythbusters used in their season 1 episode Alcatraz Escape.
The accurate reconstruction of the tidal effects allowed them to convincingly show that a raft would be unable to reach Angel Island, and that a more plausible route would have been toward the Marin Headlands - before confirming the model's result experimentally.

Great idea. Maybe we could do this with a high-energy-density liquid! Something like long hydrocarbon chains that are straightforward to break when we want to reclaim the energy...
Perfectly fine analogy (561 comments)
The analogy is sound. The children's area of the library is one where you can let a child browse freely and explore his own interests with minimal supervision. So long as you trust your child to remain in that area, you know that you don't need to personally vet each piece of content he wants to view. If anything, the Freedom to Read statment makes the analogy more apt. There's nothing but trust stopping him from wandering off to an uncensored section of the library -- the librarians shouldn't step in. This is just as there's presumably nothing but trust stopping the child from going to the address bar and wandering to an uncensored section of the interent -- the suggestion was a safe zone, not browser censoring software.
These discussions always have someone on a high horse insisting that personally babysitting your child through life is the only course of action. There's never any thought about the child growing up and being able to be trusted. Eventually he can hopefully be trusted with no supervision at all, but until then, baby-steps like a safe zone at a library or on the internet are helpful.
Re:It's pretty amazing (148 comments)
you would still not approach being right about race's connection with biology
I'm not sure to whom you're speaking, since I didn't attempt to connect race and biology. I was objecting to the totally fallacious argument you made ("foo can be determined over the phone, therefore, foo has nothing to do with biology").
I would love to hear what's "obvious" about it not being related to biology, since other things obviously are - such as larynx size being directly related to sexual dimorphism, as you so conveniently elaborated on for me.
Also, fwiw, I'm not the AC in this thread.
Re:It's pretty amazing (148 comments)
As an example, you can also tell the "race" of a person if you talk to them on the phone. This obviously has nothing do with biology.

Melo to Arsenal swap mooted
04 Jul 2009 - 16:52:19
Fiorentina claim they are considering a swap deal with Arsenal for their Brazil midfielder Felipe Melo.
Melo has been linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium throughout the summer, but appeared to have pledged his future to the Italian club after signing a new long-term contract last week.
However, Fiorentina claim they are interested in discussing a swap deal with the Gunners which would see Ivory Coast defender Emmanuel Eboue head in the opposite direction.
Defensive midfielder Melo's new contract contains a £25million buy-out clause.
"Arsenal is the only club to have come close to the sum established by the release clause," read a statement on the Italian club's official website.
"Fiorentina in turn proposed to the aforementioned club a reduction in the amount set by the release clause by including right-back Eboue in the deal."
Eboue lost his starting place in the Arsenal first team last season after struggling with his form.
His future at the club has been in doubt since he was booed by Gunners fans during a disappointing performance against Wigan Athletic back in December.

An adventurer and charlatan? A clever rogue? Or perspicacious politician, founder of the modern British Conservative party? These different characterizations have all had their supporters: Disraeli rarely inspired indifference from his contemporaries, and later commentators have often mirrored these divergent evaluations. By the time he at last became Prime Minister, in 1874, he was no longer the exotic, dandified figure who nearly forty years earlier had obtained protection from his creditors by the simple expedient of election to a seat in the House of Commons. But he was still a one-of-a-kind figure in Westminster politics, favorite of his monarch but distrusted or disliked by most of the members of his party. Disraeli was a novelist as well as a politician, and he showed in his political life a novelist's command of the potent image and pregnant phrase. His speeches and writings remain memorable and influential. But any icon is open to manipulation and selective understanding, and Disraeli in particular has been claimed as a spiritual ancestor by an exceptionally diverse group of conservatives. Edgar Feuchtwanger's lively new study does justice to Disraeli's controversial life and ambiguous political legacy, providing a portrait of one of the great personalities of the age as well as shedding light on key political developments of Victorian Britain.

New International Reader's Version (NIRV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 I said, "I will be careful about how I live. I will not sin by what I say. I will keep my mouth closed when sinful people are near me." | 1 I said, "I will watch my ways and keep my tongue from sin; I will put a muzzle on my mouth as long as the wicked are in my presence." |
2 I was silent and kept quiet. I didn't even say anything good. But the pain inside me grew worse. | 2 But when I was silent and still, not even saying anything good, my anguish increased. |
3 My heart was deeply troubled. As I thought about what was happening to me, I became even more troubled. Then I spoke out. | 3 My heart grew hot within me, and as I meditated, the fire burned; then I spoke with my tongue: |
4 I said, "Lord, show me when my life will end. Show me how many days I have left. Tell me how short my life will be. | 4 "Show me, O LORD, my life's end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting is my life. |
5 You have given me only a few days to live. My whole life doesn't seem like anything to you. No man's life lasts any longer than a breath. "Selah" | 5 You have made my days a mere handbreadth; the span of my years is as nothing before you. Each man's life is but a breath. "Selah" |
6 People are only shadows as they go here and there. They rush around, but it doesn't mean anything. They pile up wealth, but they don't know who will get it. | 6 Man is a mere phantom as he goes to and fro: He bustles about, but only in vain; he heaps up wealth, not knowing who will get it. |
7 "Lord, what can I look forward to now? You are the only hope I have. | 7 "But now, Lord, what do I look for? My hope is in you. |
8 Save me from all the wrong things I've done. Don't let foolish people make fun of me. | 8 Save me from all my transgressions; do not make me the scorn of fools. |
9 I keep silent. I don't open my mouth. You are the one who has caused all of this to happen. | 9 I was silent; I would not open my mouth, for you are the one who has done this. |
10 Please stop beating me. I'm about to die from the blows of your hand. | 10 Remove your scourge from me; I am overcome by the blow of your hand. |
11 You correct and punish people for their sin. Just as a moth eats cloth, you destroy their wealth. No one's life lasts any longer than a breath. "Selah" | 11 You rebuke and discipline men for their sin; you consume their wealth like a moth-- each man is but a breath. "Selah" |
12 "Lord, hear my prayer. Listen to my cry for help. Pay attention to my sobbing. I'm like a guest in your home. I'm only a visitor, like all of my family who lived before me. | 12 "Hear my prayer, O LORD, listen to my cry for help; be not deaf to my weeping. For I dwell with you as an alien, a stranger, as all my fathers were. |
13 Leave me alone. Let me be full of joy again before I die." | 13 Look away from me, that I may rejoice again before I depart and am no more." |

Outgoing links from your website have as important effect as incoming links and it is important to your online success. These effects can be summarised as follows:
1- Outgoing links affect your website search engines ranking.
The quality of the outgoing link from your website effect your website ranking, for example if you link to a spam website then search engine think that your site is a spam site also and panelize it or even ban it. Another example is link farms, if search engine see that you site have links to link farms then your site also harmed by these links. That means you must make sure that all the outgoing links from your website must be quality links.
2- Outgoing links affect your website visitors.
Outgoing links value your site in the eyes of your visitors; if you link to a high quality websites then your visitors appreciate your help by giving them quality information. So let say you site can be trusted as a good source of useful information.
On the other hand bad links can show your website as not professional and you look like hiding info from your visitors that make them go away from your site.
3- You are not losing visitors by outgoing links but you are getting more traffic.
Your visitors will leave your website sooner or later, they will not stay forever, so instead of letting them go back to the search engine to look for other resources, you can give them quality links which they appreciate it, and make them come back again and again.
Conclusion is if you carefully choose your outgoing links you can improve the quality of your website and improve your traffic also

Re: David S. Goyer IS the Script Writer! - Part 1
The fact that we saw the traffic in the streets below complexly packed just before the buildings started falling down confirms this I think.
Really, the most distracting thing during the final fight is that moments earlier we saw a huge area around where the world engine was completely devastated, like someone dropped a nuke on it or something, but during the final fight whenever we saw the city or any people they were going about like business as usual. The fact that there were people at the train station like it was a normal day's commute, and not either completely empty or absolutely packed with refugees, was super out of place.

The Meals That Matter team disaster relief team is on its way to central Arkansas today (April 28) to help feed people in the aftermath of Sunday's tornado, which has reportedly left 16 people dead and caused extensive damage.
We are deploying our Meals that Matter™ disaster relief trailer, truckloads of food and ice, and cooking teams from our nearby plant locations. We plan to be on-site in Mayflower, Arkansas, northwest of Little Rock, later today to help feed relief workers as well as residents affected by the storm.
Adversity on the Field
Prior to joining Tyson Foods, I had the privilege of working for a World Champion NFL team, so I have seen excellence on and off the field first-hand, alongside the hard work and preparation it takes to get there as a unit. So when I tell you that I could not be more PROUD to now work with my GREAT teammates at Tyson, it does not begin to explain how I feel about this organization – who we are and what we do to feed families.

I'm grateful for and proud of the people in this company I work for, who are always willing to drop what they're doing to go help out. It might get easy to get too proud of what we're doing, but for the contact with people whose lives have been directly…

He's grateful to be working for Tyson Foods, where he has an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of those affected by the May 20 tornado. Live reports from the field today from Jeff Wood, Community Relations manager at Tyson Foods:…
Tyson Foods Meals That Matter™ Disaster Relief Unit
Tyson Foods, which has a history of feeding survivors and relief workers in the aftermath of disasters like 9-11 and the tornados and flooding of 2011, unveiled a special mobile feeding unit in 2012.
The 53-foot semi-trailer is designed to help Tyson set up an organized disaster relief site more quickly. It serves as a central supply unit to support Tyson "cook teams" that bring grills and volunteers to help feed people in need. The trailer also bears the name of Tyson Foods' disaster relief feeding program, "Meals that Matter."
Features of the trailer include:
- Enough refrigerated space to store up to 20,000 pounds of chicken, beef or pork
- A hydraulic lift
- A diesel-powered reefer unit, with fuel capacity to run up to 72 hours
- A 5,500-watt generator
- A Wi-Fi hot spot for internet connections via satellite
- Two heavy-duty 10'x20' tents with lighting
- Cooking and serving supplies
- Sanitation equipment
Mobile grills are supplied, as needed, by Tyson's plant locations. More than 40 plant sites are capable of responding to disasters by sending grills and volunteers to cook food.
The disaster relief unit was first used in the fall of 2012 to help feed people in New Jersey and New York in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. It was also used in 2012 to serve 1,600 people at KNOW Hunger nutrition fairs in Mississippi that were organized by the National Urban League and Tyson Foods.

Bulletstorm review: Remember when first-person shooters were all about having fun?
You know, back before developers cracked open an Ivan Pavlov text book and mass-produced passively satisfying number grinds. When a kill meant maniacally hopping over rockets long enough to grab Quad Damage power-up, then delivering sweet explosive justice. When FPS epics weren't about snapping to a target, holding the fire button down and then receiving a profane message pertaining to your mother and/or sexual orientation for your troubles.
Sure, perhaps some of us have become a wee bit cynical by that which once enthralled us. We've grown tired of the super serious FPS, and begun to really miss the over-the-top, risqué first-person shooters of yesteryear - when stories could be succinctly summed up by saying something like "those alien bastards are gonna pay for shooting up my ride!".
Fortunately for us, People Can Fly and Epic Games' Bulletstorm knows how to party like it's 1996 all over again. Just without Babylon Zoo and Robson and bloody Jerome on the radio.
Bulletstorm lays its vulgar cards on the table early on. Set in the 26th Century, the game opens by giving the player control of space pirate Grayson Hunt - very much a character from the Gears of War 'burly man with angry face' school of design.
He looks like the end product of a Marcus x Dom fanfic - except with delicate feathered hair. Only Grayson's no by-the-book marine. We learn that he was once kicked out of a secret black-ops army called Dead Echo, and that within a few minutes of Bulletstorm's beginning, he's not only heavily inebriated, but has caught himself an assassin.
This would-be killer is tied to a chair in the cargo bay of Grayson's ship, and is being raucously interrogated. After learning that his traitorous former boss General Serano commissioned the hit, Grayson rewards his captor's compliance with a boot to the face, sending him into the vacant depths of outer space.
Then, at that very moment, Serano's ship shows up - spurring the brash, impulsive Grayson to order a suicidal frontal assault on his foe's well-equipped fortress. Now, we know what you're thinking. That phrase,: "Then, at that very moment". Sounds a little like the rampant stream of consciousness of a breathless teenage sci-fi writer, yes?
Well hush your inner literary snob. To get the most out of Bulletstorm's nine-hour campaign, you're going to have to suspend plenty of disbelief in the coincidental. In fact, that goes for the wholly unbelievable. This isn't a game that's going to win any high brow awards for a complicated narrative arc. But trust us - that's part of what makes it so much fun.
Following their impromptu invasion, Grayson and second in command Ishi crash land on alien planet Stygia - which is stuffed to the gills with meat-eating plants, bone-chomping monsters and ravenous mutants. They're not alone: Serano is also deposited elsewhere on Stygia in the melee, and you spend the rest of the game trying to find Grayson's nemesis and exit your temporary hell.
Bulletstorm's lead characters have a lot more to offer than the game's shallow plot and head-turningly crass marketing campaign might have you believe. While they all fit fairly neatly into ancient archetypes, each one has an unexpected wrinkle to their personality that makes them likeable if your glass is half-full, or bearable if you're a bit more of a gaming grouch.

Officially giving up
0Oct 16, '13 by CuddleFoxIs there anything I can do with this nursing degree besides nursing or teaching in nursing?
It's been 18 months and NO ONE will hire me. I've looked out of state, internationally, even tried to volunteer and I can't !&*^@*$ win. I had a position offered to me then retracted because the manager decided to change the "new grad" position to someone with experience. Every other interview I go on, I always get to the final interview and then told I didn't get it for some BS reason.
I spoke to a nursing recruiter and told me that I was basically screwed. Mostly because I've been out of school for so long and refresher courses are reserved for those who have had experience but have been out for other reasons. A second recruiter told me to find a new dream.
This is my second degree, the first is in biology, I have no clinical experience other than what I did in school but my resume is still impressive. I can't believe I wasted three years of of life getting my BSN all for nothing. -
2Oct 16, '13 by classicdame GuideI wish I could offer you some hope. I believe many hospitals are waiting to see what Obamacare does before hiring more than essential positions. I recommend a head hunter.
1Oct 16, '13 by rsbirdieI was in the same position as you. What I did was I started looking at private/Medicaid homecare jobs. This led me to a pediatric homecare agency. I don't make as much as a hospital nurse and there are weeks where I don't have any hours because someone is in the hospital but it's something, and I certainly have learned a lot. Have you gone on craigslist to try to find something private? I'm at the point where I want to apply to hospitals but I'm afraid they will disregard my experience and consider me someon e who hasn't worked in 2 years since graduating...I feel for you, I know what you're going through. NO ONE would let me even volunteer! I couldn't get an interview! I hope this helps...if you live in the NY metro area email me, my agency is always looking for nurses.Lev <3 likes this.
0Oct 16, '13 by HotfornursingSo sorry for your frustration. I know hospice agencies are always taking volunteers, might try there. What about the flu shot clinics, I did one right after I became licensed, no experience needed, with phone interview and all training online. I would also suggest networking with your previous classmates for job referrals at their place of employment....Good luck!!!
3Oct 16, '13 by Dranger, BSN, RNQuote from Mulan
Military is even harder than civilian nursing to get into by a LONG shot. The pay and benefits are good and with the wars dying down the services are full. Minimum 2 years experience to even have a shot with the Army right now.
I love when people suggest the military as a last resort when they have no clue what they are talking about.

When I think about nonfiction reads for the summer, I always return to books that are both a lot of fun to read and that don't take a lot of brainpower to parse through. The authors with books on this list are definitely smart, but they've also found a way to make their topics — everything from the birth of forensic toxicology to the history of a favorite summer toy — easily digestible even after a margarita or two.
my writing
Today I have a guest post over Jenn's Bookshelves as part of her Murder, Monsters, & Mayhem celebration this October. For the post, I picked three different nonfiction books I think well-represent murder, monsters, and mayhem… depending on what you're in the mood for reading.
Unrelated, I also had my first new post up on Book Riot last week in which I confess to my habit of turning classic literature into a daytime soap opera.
My last books article before I left Madison was a a combo interview and review with Erin Celello, a Madison-area author who just published her debut novel, Miracle Beach.
On the whole, Miracle Beach is a pretty good book. It's told from three points of view — Macy, Magda, and Jack — and I was impressed with how well Celello was able to differentiate between them. I also liked that each of them was flawed, and Celello wasn't afraid to make them behave badly when the situation warranted. Grief can make people do awful things, and the book accepts (maybe even embraces) that fact.
I'm going to be experimenting with some changes to Monday Tally over the next couple months to see if I can find a way to make the post easier to put together and less time-consuming for everyone to read.
Last week I started playing around with Tumblr, which is a short-form blogging platform — somewhere between Twitter and a full-length blog. Tumblr has different post formats that make it easy to just throw up a picture, video, link, or text into a short post. So far, I really like it as a way to collect links and comment on them as I find them. You can find my Tumblr, A Little Bit of Dorkiness, at http://kimthedork.tumblr.com/.
Businesses that rely on sharing goods are part of a new business culture, The Mesh, which author Lisa Gansky explores in her book The Mesh: Why the Future of Business is Sharing. I can't remember how I ended up with this book for review, but I pulled it off the shelf a couple weeks ago because I was feeling like reading something different.
Mesh businesses rely on a principle of sharing, that it makes sense to share items that are high-cost but that are used infrequently (cars, power tools, expensive jewelry, that sort of thing). The book profiles a number of businesses that are taking advantage of this phenomenon.
Today my first "professional" book review was posted online — The Postmistress by Sarah Blake. In addition to getting to review the book, I also got to interview Sarah while she was in Denver on her book tour, so some of her thoughts on writing the book are part of that story.
I have to admit, I was a little bit intimidated working on this story because doing a mainstream review is a different style than what I write on the blog. I didn't get to use the word "awesome" as much, and I felt like I had to pull back my personal opinions on the book a bit to talk about it in more general terms.
What happens to a small press when they need to start producing ebooks?
That's always been one of my questions as I read stories about the impact of ebooks on booksellers and consumers, and I finally got a chance to get a perspective on that issue when I interviewed Krista Coulson, the electronic publishing manager for the University of Wisconsin Press, for the books column I write for a local newspaper.
The Sunday Salon is Open!
One of my favorite weekly memes, and the only one I continue with semi-regularly, is The Sunday Salon — "an informal, weekly, mini read-a-thon, an excuse to put aside one's earthly responsibilities and fall into a good book." For awhile it was closed to new members because the technology behind it couldn't handle the feed. But, the organizer now moved it to Facebook and the meme is open to everyone. So visit The Sunday Salon on Facebook and join in!

Battle of the breakfast shows rages on in the capital
LONDON - Johnny Vaughan will have a lot to live up to when he succeeds Chris Tarrant on the 95.8 Capital FM breakfast show, if yesterday's Rajar figures are anything to go by.
The battle of London's breakfast shows rages on with 95.8 Capital FM now pulling in 1.2m listeners, widening the gap between it and rival Heart FM. It added 150,000 listeners from the last quarter and market share has increased from 7.6% to 8.9%.
There was more good news for Capital, as the Christian O'Connell breakfast show on sister new-music station Xfm has remained steady. However, although it hoped to make the top 10, O'Connell's show remains as the 11th biggest breakfast show in London.
The award-winning show, which celebrates its third birthday party today, on the guitar-led and alternative dance music station attracted 257,000 listeners to the breakfast show, compared with 258,000 last quarter, and had a market share of 1.6%.
Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant's Saturday show, Richard Bacon on Sundays and Zoe Ball's drivetime slot, have all contributed to the success of the station, which attracts a national reach of 614,000 and 514,000 in London, compared with last quarter's London figure of 502,000. Ball was replaced on the drivetime show by Lauren Laverne at the start of this year.
Self-styled saviour of Radio 1 Chris Moyles may breathe a sigh of relief as listener figures for the station's breakfast show have marginally gone up -- 672,000 listeners compared with 669,000 the previous quarter. However, Radio 1's overall figures fell from 10.5m to 9.4m year on year. Moyles replaced Sara Cox on the breakfast show in January as the BBC looked to restore the fortunes of the station.
BBC Radio 2, although slightly down overall from last year, picked up 700,000 new listeners in the final quarter -- 7.8m tuned in to veteran DJ Terry Wogan, his highest audience to date.
Bam Bam's breakfast show on Emap's Kiss FM was also losing ground in London -- 716,000m listeners tuned in this quarter compared with 789,000 last quarter.
Virgin's breakfast show, hosted by Pete and Geoff, was also down. Listeners dropped dramatically from 660,000 last quarter to 513,000 this time round. Market share for the station collapsed to 1.8% from 2.6%, breaking an improving trend seen through the last few quarters.
The results have prompted Virgin Radio's owner SMG to dismiss the Rajar figures.
A spokesperson for Virgin said: "I don't think this result reflects the true performance of Virgin. It is contrary to our own independent research and to our ad-hoc feedback."
The Wireless Group's Kelvin MacKenzie has similarly declared war with Rajar over its diary-based methods of measurement.

Central African Republic: UN resumes food aid after three-week suspension
New York, US - The UN on Tuesday resumed food aid to some 100,000 displaced people in Bangui, capital of the strife-torn Central African Republic (CAR), for the first time in nearly three weeks since deliveries were suspended when machete-wielding men stormed the distribution site and food was stolen.
The last food distribution took place on 18 December.
A UN statement in New York said the UN World Food Programme (WFP) distributed food, buckets, tarpaulins and water containers provided by other organisations at Bangui airport where an estimated 100,000 people had sought refuge.
It also said that plans were underway to reach all displaced people there within 10 days.
However, it said that WFP officials had voiced deep concern at deteriorating security in the northwest of the country and urged all parties to the conflict to ensure safe access to people in need of assistance.
The UN noted that thousands of people were estimated to have been killed, while nearly 1 million had been displaced and 2.2 million, about half the population, were in dire need of humanitarian aid.

What to expect when you arrive at DDPC
Expections (Word* | also in PDF*)
A nurse and social worker will greet you at the entrance. You may have your family, guardian, or significant person in your life accompany you or meet you at DDPC if you wish. Some people find this helpful in decreasing the anxiety they may be experiencing about the transfer to DDPC. Once you arrive in the admissions area, the physician specializing in the admissions process will ask you some simple questions about your medical/mental health history and medications, likely similar to questions you've been asked before by medical professionals. After the physician completes his or her admission paperwork, your personal items will be screened for safety and written in your record. As long as they are not deemed to be unsafe (ex: knives, lighters), you will be able to keep your personal possessions with you in your room. Once the intake process is complete, the nurse will take you to your assigned unit; at that time you will be given a brief tour and a meal or snack, depending on the time of day. You will meet with your assigned unit physician and treatment team members on the next business day. Our main goal at DDPC is to work WITH you in a collaborative manner to help you feel more safe, healthy and empowered to return to the community.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I get my own room?
Most of our rooms are set up to accommodate 2 people. They are spacious; you will have your own bed, chair, night stand, over bed light, and closet. DDPC strives to keep all persons safe at all times, you will not be put in a room with anyone that would compromise your safety or harm you.
Can I smoke?
DDPC allows smoking outside in designated areas, at specific predetermined "pass" times throughout the day. You are responsible to provide your own tobacco products, which will be stored safely for you.
For at least the first several days, you will be accompanied by staff when going outside. Your level of on grounds independence at pass times is determined by your treatment team as they get to know you, and is based on safety and your comfort level.
Can my family/friends call and visit?
DDPC encourages healthy relationships and believes in maintaining contact with your natural support system. Therefore, a patient phone is accessible on each unit. You may receive and place calls from this phone. If you plan to place long distance calls, a calling card is recommended, as the unit phone is generally for local calls only. Visiting hours are between the hours of 11:30 am and 8:00 pm.
Will I be confined to a locked unit all day and night?
Although you will be on a locked unit, there is much opportunity for movement off the unit, on and off the hospital campus, usually with staff accompanying you. These opportunities may also increase as your level of independence increases, which is determined by your treatment team, based on your safety, comfort level, and legal status. You may also be granted permission to go off grounds with friends or family if your treatment team determines that it is beneficial for your treatment and recovery.
Treatment that we offer at DDPC
In addition to medication, which you may or may not be currently taking, we offer and strongly encourage participation in some of the following treatment options:
- Individual therapy (Monday-Friday) Therapy may be recommended as part of your treatment and is also available to those that feel that they may benefit from individual counseling sessions.
- Educational groups (Monday-Friday, on and off unit) The groups cover multiple topics, such as relapse prevention, medication information, symptom management, nutrition, stress management, managing emotions and current events, to name a few.
- Therapeutic recreation (7 days per week) Some of the programs offered by the recreation department include a gymnasium, weight room, recreation center with pool and ping pong tables, bingo, ceramics, clay workshop, walk groups, greenhouse, jewelry making and other craft activities. The rec department offers trips off campus to those that are permitted. They go to various places, such as bowling, swimming, nature hikes, fishing, and tennis.
- Occupational therapy (Monday-Friday) The occupational therapy department offers groups and individual opportunities to assist in improving skills in any areas you may need, such as money management, meal planning, cooking, bus training, computer skills, education (such as GED preparation), and accessing resources available in your community.
- Vocational services (Monday-Friday) Our vocational services specialist is available to help explore career and/or volunteering interests and options available to you.
- Chaplain services Our chaplain is available to meet your spiritual needs while respecting your individual beliefs and practices. We also offer church services, Catholic and Protestant.
- Substance abuse (Monday-Friday) Individual counseling and support with substance use issues is available, as are groups, such as AA.
Shortly after arriving at DDPC you will receive a welcome kit which includes much more detailed information about our facility, your treatment team, unit guidelines, as well as some personal toiletry items.

Chef #342477's Note:
Quick and simple bagel recipe. Be sure to use instant, not active, dry yeast. Using instant yeast lets you cut down the cooking time.
My Private Note
Units: US | Metric
- 2 1/2 cups bread flour
- 1/2 teaspoon instant dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup lukewarm water (varies depending on type of flour and weather)
- 1Put flour, sugar, and salt into large bowl and mix lightly. Add yeast and water, then knead together ingredients with hands. The dough will be sticky at first.
- 2Once you have combined the ingredients into a manageable dough, take out the dough onto a flat kneading surface. Knead dough firmly with your hands until the dough is no longer lumpy and powdery, approximately 15min. Add sprinkles of water or flour as necessary to keep the dough manageable -- it will get elastic but pretty stiff.
- 3Cut dough into 6 pieces. Shape each piece into a ball. Cover with plastic wrap or a damp paper towel to prevent drying.
- 4Shape the dough. You can either poke a hole in the middle with your finger and stretch out into a bagel shape or roll out the dough into a rope and tie the ends together. The dough will expand, so leave a nice big hole in the middle.
- 5Cover the bagels with plastic wrap and let rest for about 15 minutes (30-40 min during winter time).
- 6In the meantime, fill a large pot with water and a teaspoon of sugar or honey and bring to a simmer. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- 7When the dough is ready, carefully drop them into the water and let them simmer for about 15 seconds on each side, flipping them only once. The bagels should float. Keeping the water boiling too hard or flipping too much will cause the surface of the bagels to crinkle later. I usually boil two at a time.
- 8Take the bagels out with a slotted spoon and blot excess water. If you would like to add toppings, do so now. For small or crumbly toppings such as sesame and poppyseed, dump out the toppings on a small plate and gently press the top of the bagel into the topping.
- 9Put the bagels onto a baking sheet and let bake until brown, approximately 15 minute.
- 10Note: You can use whole wheat flour and even ingredients such as cocoa, pureed spinach, pureed pumpkin/cinnamon/nutmeg to make different kinds (and different colors!) of bagel dough. Be sure to decrease the amount of added water accordingly -- I would try making the plain first to get an idea of what the dough should feel like.

Nike Women's Lunar Cross Element Training Shoe

Great shoe for Interval and Cross Training classes
I take on a weekly basis a combination of classes from HIIT to spin to indoor row. I generally have been wearing the Nike Free's but would go through pretty quickly - either wearing out the sole or busting through the fabric. These shoes are awesome as the sole of the shoe is sturdy and the is no fabric to bust through. The shoe seems to run a half size big depending on the type of sock that you wear with it. Also the laces take a while to be broken in and stay tied.
