I worked at Schnitzer Steel
It is a well known name in the Portland community and therefore looks good on a resume. It's a good place to gain some experience and then take that skill set elsewhere.
Management would rather have a lean headcount work 50-60 hours a week than spend money to give their workers a normal workload. Most employees can't take time off.
Would rather hire talent from outside than develop talent inside the company.
No sucession planning - jobs are created in silos that don't feed to any other positions so there's no growth opportunity.
Company culture promotes gossip & back stabbing to get ahead.
Promotions & raises are earned by who you know, not how hard you work.
Ran by right-wing executives who still think it is the 1990s (uses old technology and refuses to open benefits to domestic partners).
Absent Executive Leadership - CEO lives in New York and doesn't have a presence in the corporate office.
Stop letting your vision being clouded by dollar signs. Invest some money in upgrading your technology and developing your people (hire more people!) and you will stop losing talented staff (and may actually be competitive in the hiring market).
Tamara - visit your corporate offices (both Yeon & Montgomery Park) more often and actually TALK to staff (even those you think beneath you). John Carter, when he was in charge, made regular trips around the office just saying hello to everyone. It makes a difference in worker morale when you think your CEO actually cares.

You can make good money and have growth opportunities if you know the right people.Cons
Cliques and too right wing, little regard for the people doing the grunt work with execs buying new cars and off on elaborate vacations while cutting people at the yards. More about growth and glory than about taking care of the people in the lower ranks.Advice to ManagementAdvice

I have been working at Schnitzer SteelPros
The company has gone through huge growth in the past 5 years with has been pretty good for investors and executives. There are some really amazing people who try to make the most out of what is handed to them and those who have been with the company a long time seem very loyal.Cons
There is very little growth or opportunity for promotion. Many decisions are made without the understanding of how it impacts their employees. Tight and unrealistic deadlines keep the machine moving but it becomes very stagnant. There is no sense of innovation or creativity in all aspects of the company.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Look at the amount of work you ask of your employees. It is impossible to expect employees to perform more work they did 2 years ago with half the amount of resources. Work on collaboration and streamlining the different business units. It is unrealistic to keep allowing each acquisitioned company act as its own entity with its own rules.Doesn't RecommendDisapproves of CEO

Nineteen-year-old singer Conor Maynard is mobbed by girls wherever he goes and he insists they will go to any lengths to get his attention. Recently, one particular 'Mayniac' went too far when she wrote on him.
Maynard explains "One girl grabbed my arm and wrote her twitter ID on my hand so I wouldn't forget it, so I had to follow her."
Other fans wait outside his tour bus hoping to catch a glimpse of their idol or even an invite onto the vehicle. He exclusively told BANG Showbiz "It's kind of crazy how my fans will come to the show and they'll literally wait outside till about 2 or 3 am. When we actually leave and get ready to go, they'll still be outside waiting for a picture, or an autograph, so it is very insane."
When asked how he would react if he found a fan hiding in his hotel room on his tour bus, Conor admitted he would probably flee in fear. He said "I'd probably just run. I think, if they've broken into my room, I wouldn't be very welcoming. I think I'd probably just be really scared and start crying. I'd find my manager or security and get someone to save my life!"
Conor will be performing a concert for an anticipated 15,000 fans and switching on the Christmas Lights at the Bluewater shopping centre in Greenhithe, Kent, England from 5:30 pm on Friday November 16.

Nyack News
Nyack Launches New Center for Christian Scholarship
President Michael G. Scales and his executive team recently announced the fall 2011 unveiling of the new Nyack College Center for Christian Scholarship based on the Rockland County campus in Nyack, NY.
Dr. Vilma Balmaceda (pictured above), an associate professor of political science at Nyack College has been appointed the director of the Center. At the University of Notre Dame, Dr. Balmaceda earned her Ph.D. in political science, as well as an MA in government and international studies and an MA in International peace studies. She received a Licentiate in Law (equivalent of the J.D.) at the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru.
"It is truly a privilege to work with such distinguished men and women at Nyack College and Alliance Theological Seminary, who are published authors, international lecturers, community developers, business professionals, and above all, servant leaders—the perfect standard to be modeled for our students," says Dr. Balmaceda.
The Center for Christian Scholarship will host the annual Nyack College Scholars Symposium on both the Nyack and Manhattan campuses. The next Symposium will be held at the Rockland campus on September 28, featuring plenary speaker, Dr. Theodore Roosevelt Malloch. (Click here for details).
Other plans include sponsoring conferences, promoting research efforts, inviting scholars from around the world to spend sabbaticals at Nyack and advocating for special initiatives to facilitate relevant idea exchange.

Installing Hardwood Flooring
A contractor is planning to install a solid oak floor by nailing the 2-1/2 inch oak strips (3/4 inch thick) into the subfloor (3/4 inch OSB), but NOT into the joists. I have always thought that the typical way to install the oak is to nail or screw them into the joists (through the subfloor). The reason the contractor wants to do it this way is that the joists under half the room go in a different direction than the other half and we want all the oak strips to go in the same direction as the rest of the floor. (My gut feel is that OSB will not hold the nails or screws tight enough, but I am not sure).
Is this type of installation strong enough to hold the oak flooring over many years of use in a kitchen?
I also concur that it is not standard installation procedure. You might think that attaching your finish flooring through the subfloor and into the joists makes for a better job, but it actually can lead to problems with an installation.
For example, I once did a maple floor that was problematic. The house in which it was installed had joists directions that changed from room to room. The flooring ran continuous throughout these rooms. I thought it a good idea to fasten into the joists wherever I could do that. Well...when the wood shrank, due to a improperly designed HVAC system for the house, the boards fastened into the joists could not move with the rest of the flooring and very unattractive twists and splits occurred wherever the flooring was attached through to the joists.
Same thing with many other flooring materials, such as vinyl sheet or tile over panel underlayments. Underlayment manufacturers specify that underlayments not be fastened into the joists, apparently for similar reasons. The finish flooring needs to move if environmental conditions insist that it be required to do so.
The only situation where I have seen solid T&G strip wood flooring nailed into the joists is in single construction floor systems where there is no subfloor and the T&G flooring is nailed directly to the joists.
Yes i will explain further. When i said you cannot nail every board to the joist. Not all the strips are the same size. Some will be less that the joist span. Another reason as the other poster pointed out is that you want the floorvto be able to expand and contract independantly of the joists. Some of the nails will hit the joists but not deep enough to secure it. Depending on the type of nail and or staple the contractor uses it will hold just fine.
Thanks much! I really appreciate the full explanations of "why" as well as "how." Your information raises two other questions.
1. Will the nails or staples hold in 3/8 inch plywood, which part of the room has?
2. In a 60-year old house(a different house) that has slats instead of OSB or plywood subfloor, I would like to eliminate squeeks. I was planning to locate joists and use long screws. I believe the kits they sell to eliminate squeeks use long nails or screws. I suppose this would not work?? What would work?
Let me address your questions independently. First the 3/8 plywood will hold just fine. It raises the question is there going to be a height difference ? Meaning is the hardwood being layed going to run continusously into the 3/8 or is that in a different part of the house. The fasteners will hold but it raises concern about stability of the floor. Usually hardwood is layed over 3/4.
Second question. In a older home that has slates are you talking about securing the slates to the joists? Are you trying to eliminate the squeeks from the hardwood floor? If the slates are exposed meaning theres no floor layed over it you can just nail or screw(screws hold better) to the joists. Now if the floor is already layed over the slates you can nail or screww the floor to the joists but you will see the nails. And will look like crap. Typically the squeeks are not just in one place and before you know it you have 300 nails through out the floor. If you dont care about that then no problem. Or you can just lay carpet. But to secure hardwood to it with that method of nailing and wanting to keep the hardwood. You are better off replacing.
Thanks Gregg.
First question: The room is a 13 x 19 ft. kitchen, where about half the room is a bump-out added by previous owners about 18 years ago. The bump-out (about 9 x13 ft.) has the joists in front to back, whereas the rest of the house is left-right. To complicate matters, the floor of the bump-out is slightly higher than original house (yes there was a small bump in the middle of the room). So to get all the floors even and even with the dining room, the contractor is using 3/8 inch subfloor on older part of the kitchen and 3/4 subfloor where the bump-out is. The oak florring (tradditional 3/4 inch strips) will go the long way in the room and the entire room is supposed to look the same. Will this floor be stable?
Second Question: The floor in the older house is already layed over the slats and I thought I would just select some especially bad squeeks and not do the entire floor, so it won't look too bad. I would counter-sink nails or screws and use wood filler, topped with polyurethane. I realize I will see the filled in spots, but would use some judgement as to not do too much of the floor.
Do I follow the rule you mentioned earlier to avoid nailing or screwing into joists, or to not use screws that are too long into the joists?
Your first question. The floor will be ok. No worries about the height difference. Your flooring guy is doing it correctly.
Second. With the old house this is what you can do. Do you have access to a finish nailer?? That would be ideal since you can quickly nail the floor while leaving minimal evidence. If not find some 2.25-2.50 inch finish nails. And the pre drill then hammer in desired spots. The reason behind using finish nails is that finish nails have a small head and wont be as noticable in the floor. You can use screws but you would need a drill bit with a counter sink to make sure you can bury the head of the screw but hence you will have a noticable spot to fill with putty.
Good luck!

applesauce recipes
Anyone have any good applesauce recipes they would like to share ? I usually just add a little apple juice and brown sugar but would like to try something different.
We cut out any bad spots and then 1/2 the apple and put in a roaster for 4 hours (ish) then put through a crank thing that separates the good from the bad. the sauce comes out a shoot on the side the skins and seeds out the other end. Then back into the roaster with the lid off to condense it. I don't know how much reduction in volume, (a guess is to 75%) we decide by sticking a spoon in it and seeing how it looks and tastes. When it cools we put it in gallon zip lock bags and into the freezer.
Since we start with quality tree ripened apples there are only two recipes #1 apples only #2 Add cinnamon
I cannot imagine anything else that could be added to improve on this if starting with good apples.
I make really good chunky applesauce. I use the golden delicious, but any will do. I cut into small square pieces and put into a skillet with a really good apple juice. I add a piece of ginger root (peeled), cinnamon, and a bit of lemon juice. Simmer until all reduces and viola! It's really yummy and my kids love it! I got the idea from a Rachel Ray show then just tweaked it to my liking! I'm an eyeball it and taste it kinda cook so I never know measurements! Sorry!

DEFINITION of 'Joint Bond'
A bond that is guaranteed by a party other than the issuer. A joint bond is an issue which is essentially a liability to multiple parties. These parties may be both corporate entities or government agencies.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Joint Bond'
While joint bonds can include any combination of parties, they are commonly used when a parent company is required to guarantee the bonds of a subsidiary. In such an instance, debt holders may not be interested in taking a debt investment in a subsidiary that may not share a credit rating quite as high as its parent, thus the parent company will act as an additional guarantor on the debt.
Also know as "joint and several bond."

Not color of photo
The color of this item looks nothing like the photo. The photo on the website is the same as that on the outside of the package, but is very different from the actual item. The photos show a muted olive green. The actual item is a much much brighter green. Yuck!Read More
I love the material and weight of this set but I am very disappointed that the king size quilt set that has 2 standard size shams instead of king. They don't work at all. In Q&A a customer even asks if the king has king size shams and the answer is yes. It's very misleading. Going back to shopping in a store where I can check things out before purchasing.Read More
Beautiful colors
I love the colors and fabric on this quilt set. The colors are true to my computer screen. The disappointment I had was that the King Size Bedspread only came with two standard size shams. The King Size really needs two king size shams or three standard size shams. I wish there was a way that I could purchase one sham.Read More
Pillow shams are very tiny, maybe standard size, but I ordered a king size set... not even close. The quilt is pretty, but I will have to find shams to mix and match with... Those tiny things won't EVEN work. I should have checked the measurements before ordering, but who would have thought it would have standard size shams in a king size set.Read More
Nice Set
I was very happy with this quilt set as I have never bought from Overstock online before. The colors matched what you saw online. I bought a king size quilt and it fits my queen size bed perfectly without having to use a bedskirt. As I have two dogs I wanted a quilt with material not too thick so it would be easy to wash in a washing machine and this set is perfect for that.Read More
This is the first time I have ordered anything from Overstock.com and I must say I was very pleased. Although the color of the bedding came across on my monitor as a light aqua, it was actually sage green which is the color that is stated in the description. The queen-size quilt set fits very generously and looks lovely with gold curtains and a navy bedskirt. I know it sounds like a strange combination, but you have to see it to believe how good it looks. It is light enough for a cool summer night with the windows open, and with a light blanket undernearth will be perfect for winter. Thank you for providing such a good quality product at such a reasonable price. I will continue to shop Overstock.com for more bargains.Read More
We were looking for a summer time bedspread and this quilt is perfect. I like sleeping with the temperature at 70 degrees and this keeps me warm but it's not too heavy. It is made of high quality fabric and the color is just like what is pictured, except prettier in person. I hung the shams over our curtain rod to make a valance, just wish I had another set of shams. I am very pleased and would recommend this for a summer time bedspread instead of a heavy comforter. With the addition of a blanket underneath it, we could also use it in the winter months. I also got it on sale, so it was an all around great deal for us. Love Overstock and tell my friends about it all the time.Read More
OK quilt - but drab colors
I waited for this one for so long - checking prices and looking for coordinating items for the room. By the time I went to buy it was out of stock. So when it came back in - I jumped on it! This is an ok item but not really pretty. The quilt I received is a drab green and the flowers are not at all vibrant on that drab background If you want a feminine floral with some vibrancy -- keep your money and keep looking.Read More
I am really pleased with this quilt. The colors are actually prettier in person than in the picture. Soft blue background with red blue & yellow flowers. The quilt is lightweight which makes it perfect for warm weather. My mattress is only 10 inches deep and the "hang down" is fine for my bed. If your mattress is very much deeper than that it may be a little small for you. All in all I am much more pleased than I expected.Read More
Questions & Answers
I liked the colors
The price is right and the colors are beautiful.
Thought it was pretty.
Looks beautiful in the picture. Hope it will be the same in my bedroom.
very pretty using one for windows
I received my king size quilt today and I lve the color and material. I have a problem with the shams, they are standard not king and even in your Q&A it says they are king. Is there a packing mistake?
Hello CAshopper, you will be contacted by Customer Care. Have a great day.
The description states the color as "green," yet a customer wrote a review and the color was "Soft blue background." What is the background color: blue or green?
Hello fromflyoverc. this has a sage green background. Most reviewers state that it matches the color in the photo very well. We try to represent the colors of our products accurately, but unfortunately due to the difference in monitor colors we cannot guarantee that the color will match exactly what you see on your screen. Thank you for shopping with us. Vicki H
mine is mint green
The primary color of this set is a light lime/green color. There are a verity of colored floral prints, some of which are blue. But green is your primary color. If you look at the Egyptian Cotton 500 Thread Count Extra deep pocket set. It matches with the green sheets on top of the stack. And they are awesome too
To rose1566: "Lime green"? Are you sure? The picture shows a sage green. Lime green is way far from sage green... I'm surprised it doesn't show very light, as lime green is. And I think you meant "variety" where you wrote "verity," right?
Is this quilt reversable? what's the other side look like?
Hello floridacigar, no, the quilt is not reversible, the other side is a solid beige. Thank you for shopping with us.
The other side of the quilt is white cotton. No color or pattern. But the top is beautiful. I love mine.
This quilt is not reversible. The underside of the quilt is white.
Are valances and curtain panels available?
Hello tupper1mare, unfortunately, we do not have the curtain or valances in our inventory. Thank you for checking with us.
Does the King Quilt come with King Shams?
Are extra pillow shams available for Eden's Garden quilt set?
Thank you for contacting us jsingleton. Unfortunately no. We apologize for any inconvenience we might have caused. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
Is there a matching bed ruffle available
A search did not bring up any bed skirt using the title.
Definitely would love if these sets actually came with the bed skirt or had a recommendation for one!
will this ever be stocked in king size?
We have had the king option in stock, but it is currently sold out.

How to Display a Quilt
Quilts are more than just bedding: They're also gorgeous pieces of art that can be used to decorate your home. A quilt makes a space seem warm and homey, and it's not hard to learn how to display quilts. By following these steps, you'll be showing off your quilts in no time.
Popular Types of Quilts
Out of all the bedding made, quilts may be the most diverse. Quilts are produced in all kinds of colors, patterns, sizes, styles and types. If you're looking for a quilt but don't know where to start, take a look at the popular types of quilts below to learn more about this beautiful kind of bedding. Amish quilts: These beautiful quilts reflect the Amish way of living and feature solid colors, deep hues, geometric patterns and very little embellishment. Amish quilts contain the highest quality of construction and stitching, and, sometimes, the wonderful stitch patterns (scrolls, feathers) contrast with the simple backgrounds of their quilts. Applique quilts: These quilts use a French needlework technique where fabric pieces are sewn onto another piece of material to create a design. Applique is used extensively in the quilting process and is not to be confused with patchwork. Patchwork pieces are joined together; applique is sewn on top of the whole piece. Baltimore album quilts: Baltimore album quilts came from Maryland in the early 1800s. Each block in the design of these quilts is appliqued differently, often in ornate floral patterns. Bangladeshi quilts: These quilts are made with layers of Saree cloth. Saree cloth is silk cloth used by women of India to wrap and fold around the body as a garment. The cloth is usually 40 to 60 inches wide by 6 yards long. These quilts are used as bedding or as decorative pieces. Bargello quilts: Bargello quilts are created with offset squares in an up-and-down geometric "V" pattern. The small squares of different fabrics and the colorful designs make these quilts true works of art. Hawaiian quilts: Hawaiian quilts are not pieced, and they usually showcase a large, symmetrical applique in the center of the quilt. Most often the background is white or another solid color. Patchwork quilts: Patchwork quilts are constructed of many small pieces of fabric which are put together in an improvised or irregular pattern. This is a well-known quilt style, and examples of historical patchwork quilts are found in many museums. Ralli quilts: Ralli quilts, sometimes known as rilli quilts, are traditional quilts made in India or Pakistan. There is an abundance of embroidery as well as applique on the patchwork patterns. Star quilts: Star quilts are created with a large star shape, or several star shapes, dominating the pattern. Wedding ring quilts: Wedding ring quilts are crafted in a design of interlocking rings. This pattern goes far back in history: in the fourth century it was used to decorate drinking cups in Rome. Wedding ring quilts are highly popular and make wonderful wedding gifts. If you're looking for a gift to please an engaged couple, you can't go wrong with a wedding quilt. Bedding always makes a significant gift for the bride and groom, and a quilt with coordinating Egyptian cotton sheets can be even better. View All Quilts Back to Guides Directory View All Quilts

Best Wall Ideas for Baby's Room
With the arrival of your new baby drawing closer, you'll want to do everything you can to prepare, including furnishing and decorating the baby nursery. A baby nursery that is filled with all the right touches will give your infant a bright and beautiful place to start life. The wall decor can set the mood for the entire room, so start with art and decorations that are fun, interesting, unique and special. Wall art appliques. Removable wall decor appliques and decals offer some of the best ideas for a baby's room. Printed plastic and vinyl wall decals come in a variety of colors and designs. Opt for a themed collection of wall art images and create your own mural, which you can easily rearrange or remove as your child grows and you want to change the room. There are also decals that display words or phrases, such as well-known lines from nursery rhymes, prayers or beloved children's books. These look especially precious when posted on the wall above a baby's crib or cradle and can set the theme for the whole room. Framed art. As in any room, framed art can be the best way to add interest and beauty to nursery walls. Art is always personal, so choose a piece or grouping that speaks to you and your family. A lovely print of a mother and child or a toddler with a stuffed toy might move you, or you may prefer something whimsical and bright. If you have not yet settled on a theme or color for your baby's room, the perfect piece of framed art could be your best inspiration. Quilts. You have probably contemplated in great detail, if not already selected, the bedding for your baby's room. What you might not have considered is using a pretty quilt to decorate the wall. Quilts make lovely wall hangings and, with elaborate patterns and multicolor pieces, they let you tie together several colors in the room. Find a large quilt that harmonizes with your nursery decor or arrange several smaller ones in a delightful wall grouping. Letters. It has long been popular to decorate a nursery with letters. Spell out your little one's name with lovely, polished silver letters hanging from ribbons above the crib or use bright, colorful letters to showcase the alphabet or your little one's initials. You can add letters to your child's nursery in a variety of ways, from hand-painting them right onto the wall to utilizing lovely lettered wallpaper.

Most Popular Types of Garden Fountains
Fountains add the relaxing sound of running water to any setting. Outdoor fountains allow water to spout, jet, pour or trickle into a basin before draining away. Fountains range in size from burbling rock gardens ideal for tabletops to large pieces of public art. If you live in an urban area or a busy apartment complex, you can use a fountain to create a sense of privacy by masking traffic and other noises. When choosing an outdoor fountain, first consider how much space you have.

Are priorities overinformation?
Submitted by Christopher A. Brown on Tue, 11/12/2013 - 23:24. Permalink
The Internet creates overinformation, this is entropy, but it is about priorities of the constitution.
The Internet, when there was only the usenet in1993 had no entropy. Dot com created the entropy, which was unconstitutional. DARPA (CIA technology division) developed the usenet, then congress gave it to commerce making .com.
Can we stop doing all the things we are doing that we do not want to do while still doing what we need to do?

I have been working at Hampton-Newport News Community Services Board
has very good insurance, training and other perks such as gym memberships at reduced rates
has better pay than other companies who provide services to the disabled
I've been working here for about 4 years. The company used to care about the individuals who lived here - making sure that their rights were protected and that person centered options were used. Now, we are told "they don't really know what their rights are so just do what I told you to do." Individuals are no longer able to decorate their bedrooms as they like it. The new supervisor has thrown out a lot of personal items which made the individuals upset (understandably!!). And when those that had family asked about it, she stated "Oh, I don't know what havppened - staff must have accidently thrown it out!!" It's very frustrating. Also, new supervisor is trying to get rid of those individuals who might be "trouble" such those who have mobility problems and those with behavioral issues (which have increased drastically since she started because she makes them do things they don't want to do such as go on outings). Also, the company has started transferring staff who have been at residences for a long time and sending them to a new house saying that they don't want the employees to get "too comfortable." However, they do not take into consideration that the people who live in these houses sometimes have no family involvement and look at staff as their family. Moving staff is causing a lot of problems in the homes. HNNCSB also doesn't care how these moves are afftecting staff. They are making staff take positions that interfer with other aspects of life. For example, making a staff person who had a Sun - Wed morning shift position and moving them to a Wed - Sat evening shift position and not caring that this person has a second job. HNNCSB is not flexible - their position is "too bad, if you don't like it, you can leave."
So my advice - if all you care about is pay and benefits, then HNNCSB is your place to work. But if you actually care about the people you service, than stay clear!
You need to change. You are loosing good staff and you will lose more. If all you care about is the bottom line, then you need to get into a different line of work.

I have been working at Hampton-Newport News Community Services BoardPros
I have checked out many of the other CSB's and agencies in the Hampton Roads area and even with all the complaints employees have towards this CSB it still seems to be one of the best in this area. The economy is rough and anyone who is working is forunate to have a job, but even so there are many ways this CSB could improve and it has deteriorated from the CSB it once was. I believe this CSB uses the "economy is rough" statement to allow us to put up with unfair treatment.Cons
Its been mentioned on this forum that the CSB offers a generous annual and sick leave package. This is true, however depending on who your supervisor is you will not be allowed to use this package. Some supervisors will flat out deny one's request for leave, You could have a funeral, wedding, child's special event or even just need a break from a very stressful job and your leave will be denied. Working in the health care field is very stressful and in order to keep yourself refreshd, rested and positive, taking some time of leave is very imp but it is not allowed in most situations. The reason for denying this leave is "the budget" and the fact that the agency has to pay someone to cover your shift when you're gone. It would actually improve the budget to allow staff the take the leave offered in the benefits package they were offered as taking one's leave promotes staff longevity and it also prevents staff from becoming ill due to burn out and thus using medical leave.
To sum it up, this is a rewarding field to work in, but one most be realistic that it is also stressful and we need to get a break, or appreciation or even acknowledgement for all the hard work we do.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Please realize how imp and valuable your staff are. We work very hard, care about the consumers are not as replaceable as you may think we are. Just because the economy is bad and lots of applications are coming in, that doesnt mean all of those applicants are qualified to serve our consumers. Be thankful and appreciative of the staff you have. Tell us thank you more often and give us less criticism and threats of termination. Also, allow us to use our benefits package and allow us to use our leave.

Employees enjoy a lot of flexibility. The benefits package is very generous, particularly sick leave and annual leave. Everyone is on a first-name basis, so there is no rigid, hierarchical structure.Cons
This is not so much a factor for me, but some positions pay better in the private sector. However, this is to be expected with a not-for-profit agency. Again, this is not an issue for me, but some would like to see the agency offer tuition reimbursement.Advice to ManagementAdvice

Car Window Touchscreens 125
from the expensive-chips dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
I've seen commercials touting the driving experience using touch screens
And it costs $4000 to replace.
This is just another in a long trend of stuffing more and more nonsense into cars, which is the opposite of what we need. What we need are light, simple, effecient cars. What they try to build instead is cars with touchscreen windows.
Simplicity does not precede complexity, but follows it.

Cerebrum Centers
Treatment Facility
"Direct Neurofeedback® is an extremely low-strength electric current that is effective in reducing the symptoms of anxiety, depression, traumatic brain injury (TBI), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), addiction, attention deficit disorder (ADD/ADHD), insomnia, and chronic pain. Direct Neurofeedback sends a tiny, imperceptible signal to the brain that causes a slight fluctuation in brainwaves. This fluctuation allows the brain to reorganize itself and get out of frozen, stuck patterns, like re-booting a frozen computer. The percentage of patients that receive substantial benefit is upwards of 80%. Of those, the large majority experience initial improvement in the very first session. These initial improvements are temporary, lasting from a few hours to a few days. With further treatment the improvements endure. An average of about 20 sessions is needed. Treatment is not necessary on an ongoing basis. Although the conditions that improve have very different causes, there is one common denominator: they are stuck in dysfunctional patterns. HPN causes a "disruption" of that pattern regardless of origin, and allows the brain to either return to its "factory specifications" or begin creating new, healthy patterns. This coincides with the tremendous amount of research demonstrating a newly discovered "neuroplasticity" in the brain.

Drug Rehab Treatment Centers
Drug rehab centers in Suffolk County provide rehab and recovery treatment for the many drug addicts who struggle with widespread drug use. Many of the drug rehab centers offer differing approaches to the recovery process. Some offer spiritual approaches to recovery, while others focus on the medical aspect of dealing with an addiction.
Choosing the best drug addiction treatment program in Suffolk County means narrowing down the choices to those that fit your particular recovery needs. Make certain that the facility chosen offers a recovery program that has a successful history of treating your specific addiction. Keep in mind that the best facility is the one you feel most comfortable for helping you with your drug rehab in Suffolk County.
When choosing the best drug rehab center, it's also important to determine if you want inpatient drug rehab in Suffolk County or outpatient drug rehab in Suffolk County. Most programs begin at about 28 days to give patients enough time to get through the detox process followed by counseling. This timeframe may be insufficient to completely battle the addiction, so a facility that has extendable programs is generally preferred because it allows addicts to work at their own pace toward recovery.
Inpatient or Outpatient Treatment
Residential Inpatient treatment in Suffolk County usually consists of 24 hour care at a live-in facility. Full treatment services, including medical and behavioral therapy are provided all at one location near Suffolk County.
Medical supervision is generally placed over each resident. In drug treatment centers, clients can detox safely. In eating disorder centers in Suffolk County, residential programs enable effective monitoring of the client's health during the treatment program.
Inpatient care offers a structured atmosphere and allows the client and providers to focus on physical and psychological healing.
Outpatient treatment programs in Suffolk County or clinics provide flexibility to those who are unable to take time away from their regular lives, work or school. Programs typically meet at the clinic a couple of times every week for a few hours at a time.
Because clients are living away from the centers, outpatient facilities in Suffolk County are less able to focus on medical conditions and nutritional needs.
Certain programs provide a combination of the in/out approach: Inpatient for medical stabilization, partial hospitalization for moderate cases, intensive outpatient programs, and outpatient clinics for follow-up.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Steeves' wife could use a little educating herself
We've all heard the comment in its various vile forms.
"Drunken native guys."
It's the shameful talk of the town, spat out in mostly private moments that are thought to be safe.
But four years ago, an obviously angry Lorrie Steeves made the mistake of posting those words -- and more -- on her Facebook page, following what she has since suggested were frightening downtown run-ins with harassing panhandlers.
"... Drunken native guys in the skywalks," was how she labelled them.
Now, it's Lorrie Steeves who is the shameful talk of the town.
And -- in what some see as guilt by association -- so is her husband, mayoral candidate Gord Steeves, who was a city councillor when his wife let slip her view of aboriginal street people.
City Coun. Dan Vandal, who is aboriginal, told me Steeves was supportive of First Nations initiatives when they served together on council.
Vandal also said he's never heard Steeves utter a racist remark.
Yet, whether the guilt by association is valid or not, it's bolstered by the timing of the anonymous Twitter message that captured a screen image of Steeves' wife's racist rant posted the same day as Steeves made a campaign announcement.
"No person who is drunk or high will be allowed to linger downtown," Steeves said Friday as he stood downtown.
Then, he added something that hasn't been as talked about since, but should be. "No person struggling with mental illness will be left to their own devices."
What Gord Steeves appears to be suggesting is the mentally ill aren't welcome downtown, either. That comment the candidate owns himself.
In the interest of context, those remarks came while he was saying he wanted 20 more police cadets to patrol downtown. Maybe I missed it, but has the Winnipeg Police Association announced who they're backing for mayor yet?
But we were talking about Lorrie Steeves' shameful remarks, which included the added descriptor "sorry asses on welfare" and the oh-so-charming "so shut the f--- up and don't ask me for another handout."
As I was suggesting, that's typical talk-of-the-town stuff among a social class that has none.
So is Lorrie sorry? Well, she said she was on Friday, when the news broke and her husband was suddenly speechless.
Five days later, Gord Steeves has scheduled a news conference for today. Of course, no matter what he says, only he knows what's in his heart.
We already know what was in his wife's heart when she thought only her Facebook friends were listening. What stood out to me -- even more than her foul-mouthed lack of humanity -- was where that comes from.
Ignorance and a lack of empathy. As evidenced by this line about the "drunken native guys."
"We need to get these people educated so they can go make their own damn money... "
Apparently Lorrie Steeves has no concept of the power of addiction, or the painful history of the First Nations peoples of Manitoba that has placed so many on the streets that are more a danger to them than us.
It was 23 years ago today a document was delivered to the provincial justice minister of the day that laid out that history in a 789-page volume that put the "drunken native guys" she seems so fearful and loathsome of in a human context. You don't have to read every page of the report on the Aboriginal Justice Inquiry to get the message of why First Nations people, massively abused culturally and sexually as children, are our most impoverished and powerless citizens. Just turn to page 9 of Volume 1 and read the words of one Winnipeg aboriginal man who spoke at the inquiry.
"When I look around me and see it is there, the human misery that afflicts my people, the agony of hunger etched on our children's faces, the blank look in the eyes of our young people, the despair of adults growing old before their time, the bewilderment of old people cast aside. All of these afflictions are a reality with my people. All of these afflictions are consequences of the radical prejudice and discrimination that my people must contend with on a daily basis."
That's the irony of Lorrie Steeves saying the panhandlers need educating. She's the one who needs educating.
As for her feeling "terrible," she would be wise to seek out those panhandlers who so frightened her and say she she's sorry. Lorrie might be surprised how good that would feel. And how forgiving they would be.
