Requests for changes to hours of work or flexible working relating to a worker's religion or belief
Some religions or beliefs may require their followers to pray at certain times of day, or to have finished work by a particular time.
For example:
Some Jews will finish work before sunset on Friday in order to avoid working on the Jewish Sabbath, and will not work again until after sunset on Saturday.
If your employer applies a rule like this, such as refusing to allow a worker to take particular rest breaks or to finish work by a particular time, they need to objectively justify what they are doing, as otherwise this may be indirect discrimination because of religion or belief.
For example:
An employer imposes a permanent work rota requiring occasional Sunday working. One employee is an active Christian. When the woman accepted the job six months earlier she had told her company that she was unable to work on a Sunday because of her faith. This was accepted at the time. She resigns when told that the change to working Sundays is non-negotiable. This rule has a worse impact on the woman and other Christians for whom Sunday observance is a manifestation of their religion. Applying the rule will be indirect discrimination because of religion or belief unless the employer can objectively justify it.
A small manufacturing company needs its staff to take their breaks at set times because of the manufacturing process which requires that a process has to be complete before equipment can be left. A worker for whom praying at particular times of the day is a requirement of their religion asks if they can take their breaks at the times when they need to pray, making up the time over the course of the rest of the day. The company considers the request by looking at the impact on the business. Refusing the request may be indirect discrimination because of religion or belief unless the employer can objectively justify it, which it may be able to do if, for example, there is no alternative way of doing the work.
Some religions require extended periods of fasting. If your employer chooses to make special arrangements to support workers through a fasting period, this would be a matter of good practice and may in some circumstances be required.
For example:
A large catering company employs a large number of Muslim workers. During Ramadan, when the Muslim workers are fasting as an integral part of their religion, the employer allows them to take additional breaks.

Intel CEO Paul Otellini's remarks at this month's Technology Policy Institute's Aspen Forum warned that unless government policies are altered, "the next big thing will not be invented here. Jobs will not be created here." The U.S. legal and political environment has become hostile to business. Washington is piling on more taxes, more regulation, more litigation and benefit costs, and greater uncertainty about the climate going forward. They do all this while saying that they are "pro-jobs." Otellini singled out the policies of Democrat-controlled Washington, saying: "I think this group does not understand what it takes to create jobs. And I think they're flummoxed by their experiment in Keynesian economics not working…. They're in a 'Do' loop right now trying to figure out what the answer is."
The basic assumption of the left is that government must "DO" something, provide something, control something, tax something, regulate something, or spend something, or it isn't doing its job. Some Republicans have been intimidated into believing that they too must spend and provide more to get elected. The conservative policy of spending less, regulating less, hiring fewer government workers, and taxing less is not even an option these politicians consider. To a liberal, America has problems that only government can fix.
Democrats seem to think that they know better than you how to spend your money. The money you could be spending on products and services could help revitalize and fuel the private sector growth that would mean more jobs and prosperity. Instead, that money is being taken from you to create a bigger more intrusive government. As Dennis Prager is so right in saying, "The bigger the government, the smaller the individual." We the people aren't protecting our freedom; we're inviting tyranny if we don't start saying NO, ENOUGH, STOP!
Never has President Ronald Reagan's statement in his first inaugural address been more true: "Government isn't the solution to our problems, government is the problem." Washington and our struggling state governments need a strong dose of "No." Every time more money is spent, they are reaching deeper into your and future generation's pockets to feed the problem not the solution.
America has always been about business, innovative and successful small businesses that have fueled our next wave of prosperity. America needs a strong, vibrant private sector made up of small and big businesses that have weathered downturns and earned success, not hand-picked "too big to fail" fat cats who have been propped up with your tax money.
The answer for our ills is not bigger government, it is empowered individuals, caring communities, and competitive businesses working together to invent an even better America. It's worked in the past, and, God willing, we will send a message this November to ensure that it will work for generations to come. Had enough? Join the Party of No!

Across the street at GRB you can get something similar and just as tasty but milder: seafood Hong Kong<\d>style crispy noodles ($7.25), a stir-fry of shellfish, calamari, snow peas, carrot sticks, whole baby shiitake mushrooms, and leaves of nappa cabbage laid atop a broad nest of crisped vermicelli-style noodles. The well-modulated tone here seems rather Cantonese.
Soups track a similar divide. San Tung's hot and sour soup ($4.95), chockablock with strips of tofu, peas, bamboo shoots, and willow-tree mushrooms, arrives on the tongue with a nice sourness but later releases a pepper heat that vents up through one's nostrils. Golden Rice Bowl's seaweed egg flower soup ($4.50), on the other hand, is almost like liquid sushi, with its black webbings of kelp giving off their subtle but distinctive odor; ballast (and some color) is provided by diced root vegetables and peas.
We pause briefly to acknowledge San Tung's fabulous shrimp and leek dumplings ($6.50 for 12 a deal). The menu describes them as "little," but really they're about the size and shape of potstickers, though steamed instead of pan-fried. What is most remarkable is their richly juicy filling, a fragrant blend of ground shrimp mixed with ginger, garlic, and Chinese chives. You could make a meal out of a plate of these.
Golden Rice Bowl has an aquarium a nice touch, especially since it's purely decorative and not a holding tank full of creatures waiting to be plucked out and turned into somebody's dinner. The place is also more gently lit than its neighbor across the way, where overhead lights glare and the atmosphere is not for the faint of heart or who are, as we used to say in grade school, chicken.

Arthur Nebe (13 November 1894 – 21 March 1945) was a member of the German Nazi Party (NSDAP) with card number 574,307. In July 1931, he joined the Schutzstaffel (SS), and later reached the rank of SS-Gruppenführer. His early career included the Berlin position of Police Commissioner in the 1920s. In 1942–1943, he was the President of Interpol which fell under the control of Nazi Germany during the Anschluss in 1938. Nebe perpetrated mass murder in the Holocaust, serving as commanding officer of Einsatzgruppe B deployed in the Bezirk Bialystok district (modern Belarus) behind Army Group Centre during the German invasion of the Soviet Union. Nebe commanded the Kripo (Criminal Police) until he was denounced and executed after the failed attempt to kill Adolf Hitler in July 1944.

i might end up with
taking photographs with me -

we are all angles of bone

to make something beautiful ;

broken ship

Wow, what a great poem! Well Done!
great imagery.
I do the same thing. Whenever I'm dating someone, I imagine that scene from Atonement (if you haven't seen it, you should. gurl, you would love it) when they're running the waves and it's silly and theatrical because love is not that at all.
i haven't seen it! maybe i should
i do this as well. i've always wanted to have someone who would take photos of those intimate moments with me. however i wonder if it would make them less precious so i never do it.
This is actually pretty good!! Doesn't look at all like a "quick thought" I love the lines! I love the images! Not sure if you're looking for (constructive) critique but all I would potentially change is the 1st line "maybe it's weird or maybe it's beautiful". Keep up the great work!
:] thank you! i don't know if i can change a quick thought, though haha but i'm always up for critique!
Beautiful imagery!
this reminds me of my love. i nearly cried.
amazing. thank you for this.
amazing. thank you for this.
this is lovely, so lovely. every word is golden.
I'm afraid I'm a girl, but marry me anyway?
This is really beautiful

Whoever ends up being this boy will be super lucky
i think you just deserve to be loved but at the same time you don't believe it...
being a photographer, this poem really hits my heart
is there a reason for the spaces before punctuation >:l
i liked it better
the whole pace of this seemed too fast and i thought the spaces slowed it a little and it felt right-er
the whole pace of this seemed too fast and i thought the spaces slowed it a little and it felt right-er
Styling. Rules of grammar don't really apply to poetry unless it's a known style of poetry. Even then, that could be turned into something else.
This might actually be the best piece of poetry I've seen on here. I mean it's actual, proper poetry. Not the kind that sounds like it's been written by a 15 year old Twilight fan. o.O I'm in awe...
you're lovely :] keep looking through galleries, (here is where i shamelessly promote my journals, where i have featured wonderful writers who deserve more attention) you'll find some gold!
This is so lovely...
thank you!
the passage describing him asleep is gorgeous. absolutely stunning: thank you for sharing this!
i started crying when i read this while listening to birdys cover of 'the a team' by ed sheeran :')

My son used one until he was 18 months and he definitely does not have any emotional development issues. He is great at mimicking our expressions, expressing himself (happy, sad, confused) and frankly for a 2 year old, is a fairly well adjusted little boy. I think too many researchers search for reasons for things that just happen. If my son does develop issues as he gets older I am sure there is some other cause.

This book – short, funny, bitter and uncompromising – retells the real experiences of three young men who join the army because they think it will deal them better hands than life has... More > offered so far. All perfectly intelligent, if short on education, they accept recruitment promises on pay, job training, and future prospects. Andy is white, Ashton is black, and Shahid is a Blackburn Asian. They do not expect that they will ever be friends. In fact they have to be – and close and vital allies. The novel charts, through a series of actions and events, their growing awareness of how deeply they have been conned, and the vanishing opportunities for doing anything about it. Far from being trained as heroes, they come to see themselves as cannon fodder, face savers, and sacrificial lambs. They are paid, pro rata, far less than the minimum wage, and charged for their accommodation and their food. Their prospects, among other things, are to leave the army as a pale pink vapour in the air, or go home in a body bag.< Less

Hallmark is looking for this.
Seriously. It would make an EXCELLENT Xmas Card.
great Illustration
Too repetitive. Too boxy and use of the same designs placed in the same order... doesn't make it very visually appealing. Just my 2 cents. 1/5
Gorgeous colors and composition. ♥
Interesting Art Like it.

The Practical Tips I've Learned from Watching Ina Garten at the Gym
Food Crush
I'll start by saying this: I'm not athletic, nor do I particularly like working out. But after graduating from college, I discovered a motivating factor that got me to the gym: Barefoot Contessa. I don't have a TV at home, so I've been timing my gym workouts for the past five years with episodes of my favorite cooking show.
Recipe: Domenica Marchetti's Carrot Polenta Cake with Marsala
Recipes from The Kitchn
A week of carrot recipes requires — demands! — a carrot cake. Emma and I had a very good time flipping through our favorite cookbooks looking for a fresh carrot cake to share with you, and when we paged past Domenica's recipe, we knew we had found it. A little rustic, a touch boozy, and all Italian, this is a carrot cake to make you look at the classic dessert in a whole new way.
Recipe: Diane Morgan's Baby Carrots with Dill
Recipes from The Kitchn
When we decided to devote a week to carrots during our month of Glorious Vegetables, I went hunting for just one pure and perfect carrot recipe. We've given you crazy salad and fermented pickles, and there are other fresh ways to eat carrots coming up. But, in the end, the freshest of baby carrots deserve to be eaten in the simplest of ways, and Diane Morgan's easy recipe is the way to go.
Recipe: Hugh Acheson's Fermented Carrots with Galangal and Lime
Recipes from The Kitchn
When I think about carrots, I just think sweet. I rough up that sweetness with spices, or roast it out into toasty darkness. But here's a way to push carrots into a whole new zone: ferment them with ginger or its pungent cousin, galangal, in this incredibly simple yet delightful recipe from Hugh Acheson's new book.
Recipe: Diana Henry's Crazy Salad
Recipes from The Kitchn
Two weeks ago I was in Fairbanks, Alaska, riding shotgun on a research trip with my husband, spending my days on my own work indoors while he was on rather more exciting expeditions, zooming up and down the river and measuring water levels on a major field campaign. My own contribution to science came, naturally, with dinner. We invited the crew over for a grilled salmon feast and it was my chance to whip out Diana Henry's A Change of Appetite — a book I had been looking forward to cooking out of for months.
Recipe: Jeffrey Alford & Naomi Duguid's Lettuce Salad with Hot Beef Dressing
Recipes from The Kitchn
Here's the final recipe in our series of fresh ideas for lettuce. It was a lot of fun to page through some of our favorite cookbooks, looking for crunchy, crispy lettuce recipes that offered a new twist on this basic green.
And oh boy, we may have saved the best for last. This recipe may look a little strange on the surface, a little unexpected, but let me tell you: I ate this 10-minute stir-fry twice this week, and it's on the menu for next week too.
Recipe: Alice Waters' Baked Goat Cheese with Spring Lettuce Salad
Recipes from The Kitchn
I first visited Chez Panisse about ten years ago, a new cook stepping with some awe into what felt like a founding palace of American cuisine. But part of the beauty of Alice Waters' Chez Panisse is that for all its history and accolades it has remained what it was created to be: a bustling, cozy, unpretentious neighborhood bistro. And every time I've gone back, I've left inspired to cook more, and to cook better — and what's a better sign of a good restaurant than that?
What Are Some Good Beginner Baking Cookbooks?
Good Questions
Q: I have decided to learn to bake. I (embarrassingly) have hardly baked anything that doesn't come out of a box. Does anyone have any recommendations on beginner cookbooks? I love Alton Brown and his scientific explanations, and am hoping to find something similar to his style.
Recipe: Nigel Slater's Five-Spice Chicken & Pea Shoot Salad
Recipes from The Kitchn
Lettuce is so much more than salad, you know. This week we're bringing you five very different recipes that show off lettuce in different ways, and today's may just be my favorite: Nigel Slater's cross between a salad and a stir-fry, with chicken cooked in a flash with ginger and garlic, and folded together with barely-wilted lettuce and pea shoots.
It's a super fast meal bursting with garlicky, spicy flavor, and packed with greens.
Recipe: Bar Tartine's Chicory Salad with Anchovy Dressing
Recipes from The Kitchn
One way to subvert the usual lettuce narrative is to do something wholly unexpected with it, as in the baked lettuce and onion tart we shared with you yesterday. Another way is to expand the idea of lettuce itself — as in this crisp, bitter chicory salad from the bright minds behind Bar Tartine in San Francisco.

Auction price: Register or sign-in to see quarterly averages
or visit the Wine Market Journal
Drinking window not specified (Add My Dates)
Not giving much away. Never got much better, I am sure I have had a better bottle of this. V slightly corked?
By the glass at The Greenhouse, London.
Nice to see it after this long being alive and vibrant albeit well secondary and really a wine that needs food. nice waxy texture on the palate, nice depth of flavor and decent length. Lacks a bit of excitement though and at times felt monotonous. A solid 90.
Oxidised on the nose, but less so than a similar aged beaucastel.
Fresh on the palate. Good stuff
Bottle purchased as part of an aged lot of Rayas, Pignan and Fonsalette. Provenance was direct from Fonsalette (Rayas); could not possibly be better.
We were quite worried this '97 Fonsalette blanc would tired and old, but not at all. The first sip was a shock (in a good way).
Stone fruit and citrus, possibly meyer lemon or citron, was still present on open and for a good hour+. Nice acidity backed up a bold nose. Past the hour and a half mark in the glass, more secondary characteristics showed, apple and barely there oxidation, but with zero loss of length.
The wine remained full bodied and incredibly long throughout.
I have no doubt provenance had something to do with this exceptional showing, but it reinforces my suspicions that Rayas's non-CDP wines are more worthy of aging than is commonly recommended.
Having said this, we will be drinking my other 2 bottles in the next 12 months.
1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (2)
This was a surprise. Distinct bree cheese rind on the nose, fruit is completely secondary. The palate carries that cheese hard with a odd but none awkward funky flavor profile and light orange and citrus fruit flavors. A thought provoking wine, even though I would never buy more of this I enjoyed drinking this. Definite secondary aged flavors play in this wine. A odd but enjoyable wine at this point although I am sure this wouldn't have lasted another year or two.

itslaurafrances What is this model's name? She's wickedly pretty. 3y
heredrinkthis I think she's pretty. She does have a "Classic" look. 3y
americanhelen One can be educated and still be ignorant, be plastic and hideously ugly, be loud and unheard. This is someone else's art. She just posed for it. Yes, everyone is entitled to an opinion but, why be loud and potentially hurtful with no remorse. Some people think highly of themselves for all the wrong reasons. I won't name anyone but, in my rightful opinion, that fake, loud, ignorant excuse for a woman, is one of the ugliest I've ever seen. Also appears to be more than a little insecure about who she is on the inside. 3y
angelinashes @lisatomkeddie is not ugly. I love her big pretty eyes. In fact she looks a lot better than you @_veronicabeckham you and your personality are trashy. And @missvalbeckham just looks like a man. This model is getting paid top dollar to have her appearance photographed. Are either of you? 3y
valerizzie And u look obese that's why u have half of a face picture ur fat ass face takes the whole picture get ur followers up and ur weight down @ilovenimbus 3y
angelinashes Oh gee if only I had as many followers as @missvalbeckham because we all know that determines the value of a human being. I'll take fat over looking or speaking like you any day. 3y
starryrocket @_veronicabeckham @missvalbeckham funny how you totally trash a prettly looking girl when you're both on private while you dig through @lisatomkeddie 's photos and trash her too. You both look like you're wearing too much make-up and look about 35+ years old. So leave the model, who looks about 18 or so, alone. It's not a crime to be opinionated, but it's incredibly rude and low class to trash others and be so rude about your "opinions". 3y

The long-awaited fiscal year (FY) 2010 Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS) proposed rule is out, and with it comes good and bad news for hospitals.
Although there aren't a whole slew of changes related to Medicare Severity DRGs (MS-DRG), hospital acquired conditions (HAC), and the present on admission (POA) indicator, hospitals will see historically low payment updates with a phased-in documentation and coding adjustment (DCA) to take place over time.
A slow rate of economic inflation and an increase in aggregate payments due to changes in hospital coding practices that do not reflect increases in patient severity of illness (SOI) are the reasons for the low updates, according to a CMS press release announcing the rule late Friday afternoon.
"We understand hospitals will be concerned about lower than historical payment update amounts," said Charlene Frizzera, CMS acting administrator in a CMS press release. "However, we are proposing an adjustment that minimizes the effects on FY 2010 payments while still meeting the requirements of the law, which may mean larger reductions in the next two years."
Payment updates
The proposed update for acute care hospitals means an update of 2.1% for inflation minus a DCA of 1.9 percentage points. Long-term care hospitals will see a proposed update of 2.4% for inflation minus a DCA of 1.8 percentage points. These DCA adjustments reflect the differences between the changes in documentation and coding that do not reflect real changes in case-mix for discharges occurring during FY 2008, according to CMS.
Experts agree that these low rates won't help hospitals struggling to keep their doors open in the midst of a worsening economy. "Hospitals that are counting on some sort of increase won't really see anything this year," says Kimberly Hoy, JD, CPC, director of Medicare compliance for HCPro, Inc. in Marblehead, MA. "Payments are going to stay flat, and that's going to be tough for a lot of hospitals."
"The increase was practically eliminated by CMS' contention that improved documentation and coding for MS-DRGs resulted in an underserved 2.5% improvement in reimbursement," says James Kennedy, MD, CCS, director of FTI Healthcare in Atlanta.
The Medicare Actuary found based on analysis of 2008 data that additional coding did not reflect actual changes in patients' SOI. The analysis also found that additional coding increased total payments under IPPS by 2.5% in FY 2008 and will further increase total payments in FY 2009.
Still, it's as though CMS is penalizing hospitals for documentation and coding improvement, Kennedy says. "It's as if no good deed goes unpunished," he says. "Hospitals that took care of these sick patients and had rigorous clinical documentation and coding integrity processes in place in 2007 will see their reimbursement decline. CMS is penalizing their ethical and compliance efforts to improve disease definition, documentation, and reporting."
Clinical documentation improvement programs as well as more diligent efforts by HIM are most likely the reasons behind more accurate coding that led to higher payments, agrees Shannon McCall, RHIA, CCS, CCS-P, CPC-I, director of HIM and coding for HCPro, Inc. in Marblehead, MA. "CMS may have underestimated that facilities would create such effective clinical documentation improvement programs," she says. "I think those programs were an integral part of all of this."
And in light of decreased payment updates, hospitals that don't currently have a clinical documentation program will need to think seriously about implementing one, says Gloryanne Bryant, RHIA, CCS, CHW, senior director of corporate coding and HIM compliance in San Francisco. "Hospitals will need to assess their current efforts to capture patient severity and acuity through documentation and coding to see if opportunities remain," she says.
To view the rule, click here. CMS will accept comments until June 30.

Article Summary
For people who wouldn't otherwise ride a bike, or who don't want to arrive at work all hot and sweaty, electric-assist bicycles are a neat idea. Commonly referred to as pedelecs (for "pedal-electric"), they use an electric motor to augment the rider's own body strength while pedaling, yet that motor can usually be switched off when they don't need it. The only problem with that setup ... even when the motor isn't being used, it and its battery are still there, weighing the bike down. For his prototype Velocity pedelec, however, Taiwanese designer Larry Chen came up with a creative solution – an easily-removable motor/battery unit. It was enough to win him a gold award at the latest International Bicycle Design Competition in Taiwan.

She was personable, friendly and very punctual. She also picked up ...MoreRead more of this review a bucket of baby things to sell online.
It became less satisfying when I got handed off to one of her other assistants. I had hoped to sell my bedroom set as a set and there are a bunch of furniture sale sites. When we first started talking said they could definitely sell where ever I wanted, but when I talked to the new girl she hadn't heard of those sites and while she said she would look into it, and I reminded her a few times, she never did. She was more comfortable using Facebook. Despite this I kept with her. After a week or so (uncertain of exact schedule), we sold part of the bedroom set and lowered the price on the last item to my min price.
About a week after that I got an email from her saying the baby items and bedframe had not sold and she offered to schedule donation pickup. I said wait! There are a bunch of other places to sell this stuff - try one of the other sites. I also asked her to tell me which groups she posted to and to send me a picture of her posting (as I didn't really trust her as much as I had at the start). I had to ask many times over the course of a couple months. (To be fair I was traveling a lot so some of that delay was on me, but she also took days to respond to my emails.) Finally I did get a screen capture of her post that literally had one picture (of the 10 or so taken/provided) and very little description. I told her to just stop trying to sell and to give me back the baby items, I'd rather give them to a newly-pregnant friend at this point.
A couple weeks went by. I remind her about the drop off of my stuff. Another week goes by, another reminder. I got distracted by work again and dropped it. Then one Monday morning I walk into my front room and find the bucket of baby items. Bad on me to leave my front door unlocked, but 1) Who comes to someones house to drop stuff off without checking to see if the person is there? 2) Who just walks into someone else's house at 8am? 3) Who does those two things and then LEAVES without ever telling me they were there. What if she got the wrong address??? She didn't even send a note/text telling me she'd dropped the items off.
I did get a bill from them that afternoon, which I paid. If they had been good I'd have been really happy to pay that amount and not have had to worry about the sale of the items. Unfortunately I feel like I did more work keeping up with and reminding her about things than I would have spent just selling the items myself. Maybe they're better at other things.
Sidenote, I posted my bedframe on a different facebook group for the same price and it sold in less than a day.

Ti Kaye Resort & Spa is in a location unique to the rest, situated on a cliff overlooking the Caribbean Sea and away from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the island. This Caribbean style Village resort is located on the serene West Coast and is simply known as "Ti Kaye" which means small house in the native creole patois language of St. Lucia. It is a secluded, peaceful location – a perfect hideaway for those who seek complete relaxation in casual, yet beautiful surroundings. Ideal for couples, honeymoons and those who just want to escape.
Ti Kaye may be a small secluded resort but that's no excuse to be denied some of the conveniences of modern living. We have tried to include much to do as well as comforts without destroying that rustic, barefoot feel to the place. We have the usual suspects you might find in most other resorts and sprinkled it down with some high tech stuff that we hope you will enjoy.
Location: Ten minutes from Anse la Raye
Accommodations: 33 Cottages
Restaurants on site: Yes
Region: Anse la Raye

The 32nd anniversary of the May 18, 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens brings many new experiences for visitors to Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument. This year also marks the 40th anniversary of the Volunteers in the National Forests Act of 1972. Forest Service and Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument officials will recognize volunteers in honor of this event to help inaugurate the Science and Learning Center at Coldwater.
Johnston Ridge Observatory will open for the season on May 13, 2012, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mount St. Helens Institute's "It's a Blast" event is scheduled for May 12. See http://mshinstitute.org/ for more on this and other events.
"We are excited to reopen for the season once again. The opening week and the May 18th anniversary are special times to visit Mount St. Helens and wonderful opportunities to see the changing landscape and Forest Service investments at this unique National Volcanic Monument," said Monument Manager, Tom Mulder. "Entrance to Johnston Ridge Observatory will be free on May 18th, and all the new displays, films and programs are ready for visitor enjoyment. Please join us as we devote this special day to recognizing and honoring our valuable volunteers."
Visitors to Johnston Ridge Observatory (JRO) at the end of State Route 504 can view the award-winning Eruption of Life, tour new exhibits and see the new amphitheater. A BBQ lunch will be available in the JRO parking area at noon to raise funds for the Mount St. Helens Institute.
At 1 p.m. there will be a walking tour of the refurbished Coldwater Center, now the Science and Learning Center at Coldwater. "This is an opportunity to see the progress of Forest Service investments in the Coldwater facility and learn about the promising potential for community participation in expanding educational and recreation programs," said Mulder. "We are looking for partners willing to make a home in this new Science and Learning Center, and I am particularly eager to find a skilled local food service willing to re-open the restaurant by the May 18th anniversary next year. Please come join us, and rediscover the possibilities."
The 1980 eruption commemoration ceremony at Science and Learning Center at Coldwater will follow the tour at about 1:30. Volunteers and volunteer organizations will be honored following the commemoration. National, regional and Mount St. Helens volunteers will be recognized. Volunteer organizations will also be on hand to share information about their organizations.
Other activities this day will include:

My Search for Catherine Anne: One Man's Story of an Adoption ReunionAuthor:
Barrie Clark
Pub Date: 1989
Publisher: Lorimer
Summary: Author Barrie Clark tells how he explored every possible source of information that might lead him to his daughter, who was given up for adoption. He also tells how, unknown to him, his daughter was looking for him at the same time he was looking for her. This is more than a fascinating detective story: it is also a poignant, heartwarming tale of two human beings and their hopes and fears as they persevere in their s...earches. Clark emerges as a kind, engaging man haunted by memories of his youth and driven by an intense longing to meet the child he had fathered so long ago; Catherine Anne herself as a sensitive young woman who, even as a girl, was deeply troubled by not knowing her natural parents. My Search for Catherine Anne is a touching story of separation, longing and reunion that reminds us how resilient the bonds of family can be. [read more]

I had my Rhinoplasty surgery done 3 days ago and am very concerned about my nose now. I had a downward turned tip, which I asked to be corrected. but now when i look at it, it seems to have gone totally opposite and now looks upturned like a pig's nose. I am very concerned as I have so many events to go to and i feel it's a drastic change and not a subtle one. I trusted the doctor and asked him to work with it to suit my face, but now I'm very very worried and feel people will comment. Can this still be corrected? I think I'm going to need revision surgery, but I am also very worried about it being made worse and people laughing at me. I wish I had not done this now.
Upturned Pig-like Nose After Rhinoplasty
Doctor Answers 60
Tip rotation after rhinoplasty
The upturned tip you are describing three days out from rhinoplasty is perfectly normal. The swelling at the base of the nose and upper lip as well as the tape and splint are contributing to this "upturned" look. Once the splint comes off (around day 6 or 7) and the majority of the swelling resolves (around day 10), your nose will look significantly different. We usually recommend giving the nose a full year to settle down before even considering any sort of revision surgery. Do not fret! Regards, Dr. Mehta
Upturned Nose After Rhinoplasty
My colleagues are right - 3 days is too early to judge your final results. Swelling, sutures, taping and splints can alter the initial shape. It is not uncommon for the tip to drop during the healing process. After 8 to 12 weeks, if you are still not happy with the tip rotation, discuss a possible revision with your surgeon.
Too Soon to Judge!
Your concern is completely reasonable, it's just way too soon to judge!
In the first few days, the tip will look too high more often than not, due to the interaction of swelling, taping and the splint. The tip will often relax within minutes of removing the splint and tape.

Exagerrated upturned nose and deformities after rhinoplasty can be corrected with advanced grafting techniques
In my opinion, an expert level rhinoplasty is always performed in a closed technique and ALWAYS involves grafting to add to the structural integrity of the nose. The act of opening the nose even under the closed technique causes healing and some contraction, thus for a long term beautiful result the nose must be left more structurally sound than it was found. This is missed upon most rhinoplasty surgeons.
In secondary cases such as yours it is even more crucial that sound grafting techniques are used. It sounds like at a minimum you will need bilateral spreader grafts a. Is sounds like your surgeon is on the right track. Definitely do not consider any rhinoplasty procedure that does not include grafting preferably by an experienced Plastic and reconstructive training with ddition fellowship level craniofacial and aesthetic training. Of course this is my bias because it is my training but I think this level of training is very necessary for success in secondary and tertiary rhinoplasty because there is delicate nuance involved and every patient requires different maneuvers. Improtantly if possible you should wait 6 months for closed rhinoplasty and one year after open to start evaluating revision unless aesthetics are completely intolerable. I hope this helps!
All the best,
Rian A. Maercks M.D.

3 days after rhinoplasty is too soon to judge results but...
It is too early to judge the results of your rhinoplasty. At three days, the swelling, dressings, and splints may have a distorting effect on the appearance. You may also feel that it looks too upturned, even though it is within normal aesthetic limits (especially if it was drooping significantly pre operatively). The angle between the lip and bottom edge of the nose should be 95-100 degrees, so this can be an objective measurement.
Give it a few weeks, if you still have concerns, discuss it with your surgeon. If your nose is really too short (upturned), it will be unlikely to settle or come back down on its own. The timing for revision surgery is generally at minimum 8-12 months after surgery, but may be sooner if the surgeon feels that something should be done more immediately, or you are very distressed about your appearance.
Best regards,
Lawrence Tong MD FACS FRCSC
Upturned nose days after rhinoplasty: Please be patient!
It's much too early to predict your final result in the first few days. Immediately after surgery the nasal structures have been weakened and need time to heal and strengthen. Often surgeons will add extra support to the nasal tip with tape in the early period to support the nose until it gets stronger, and this makes the nose look upturned.
After first-time rhinoplasty, I would give it three months before making any predictions of the final result. If after a suitable time you do desire a revision, the good news is that there probably is the right technique for you to restore the proper rotation of your nasal tip. Visit a facial plastic surgeon for a thorough evaluation.
Rhinoplasty and Upturned Tip
New Lady, I would just try and be very patient with the healing process. First off, as others have noted here, your bandages should still be in place that would preclude you from even seeing what your nose looks like underneath. I normally leave rhinoplasty bandages in place for about 5-6 days. Even without bandages, your nose is expected to be quite swollen and probably over-corrected in terms of the tip position. In rhinoplasty cases where we are elevating the nasal tip, most rhinoplasty surgeons will position the tip slightly higher than where it will ultimately sit. This is done because your tip will likely drop down during the healing process. This is why your nose should look upturned at this time. Be patient and trust in your surgeon.

Questions & Answers
Hello gigivivi, please contact us at 1 (800) 843-2446 for further assistance. Thanks for shopping with us!
Looks like a cool lamp and reviews are good. Two questions: 1) I know this can take a 3 way bulb, but other than saying that how much light would you say this lamp puts off? I ask because I have two small table lamps in a room that needs a larger amount of higher placed light to brighten up the room especially in the evening. 2) I saw the dimensions of the shade in height/diameter on the other question. Can you tell me from the ground up to the bottom of the shade what that measures? Trying to ensure this would fit inbetween two other pieces of furniture (that the wider upper shade clears the top of my bookcases). Thanks for all info :)
Hello aero951, this light puts out a 6' diameter and is 64" from the ground to the bottom of the shade. If you have any additional questions please feel free to let us know. Thank you for shopping with us!
I need to know diameters of both shade and base; i need to place a lamp in the corner wall behind my sectional and need to make sure lamp will fit. andrea
Thank you for shopping with us claudiamichelle. The shade is: 15 Diameter and 9 ½ " high. We are confirming the base measurement. Have a good day.
Thank you for shopping with us claudiamichelle. The shade is: 15 inch diameter and 9 ½ inches high. The base is: 10 W x 10 D x 4 H. Have a good day.
One reviewer said the lamp is a golden color when light is on. Where does that gold color come from, please? The lamp looks silver/chrome and white or grey. What makes it glow golden? If I put a 'reveal' light in there will it just look silver rather than yellow or gold when lit? Thanks!
Hi nashshopper, the lamp real color is silver/chrome and white or grey.The golden color come from the reflection of the light on the inside lining wich is ivory color kind of cream and when the lamp is on reflects the golden color.Thank you for your inquiry.Please feel free to contact us again with any further questions.
Are the product photographs shown in color or black and white. if B&W, what are the colors/finishes of this lamp. Product description: finish -other is singularly UNHELPFUL
This product is shown in black and white. I am very sorry for the unhelpful description. The finish is a dark chrome color with white and lighter grey designs. I hope this helps you.

Second Asquith ministry
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
H. H. Asquith formed the Second Asquith Ministry, a wartime coalition government, in the aftermath of the Gallipoli disaster in 1915, by bringing in the Conservatives to shore up his government. The Conservatives were not pleased with the offices they received in this new government and Tory leader Bonar Law became dissatisfied with Asquith and the Liberals' conduct of affairs. The government collapsed as a result of the resignation of the Conservatives, who refused to serve any longer under Asquith. Asquith and most of the Liberals then moved into opposition, while the Conservatives formed a new coalition with a minority of the Liberals, under the leadership of Liberal David Lloyd George in 1916.
