[Fic] The Wrong Path
This story takes place at some random point between the Revan/Exile thing and the Rise of Darth Bane.
I've started working on what will inevitably follow it, and if people are happy with what I've currently posted I'll continue with fic 2 of the story.
anyways, thank you for reading, I really appreciate it.
The two of them walked forward with caution, both igniting their light sabers.
Hes here, I can feel his presence. said Marcus.
Youre right, Marcus, the force is tainted in this area. I can feel the darkness. Its so strong. Said Karla.
Remember your training, Karla, Marcus started. we must remain at peace, or he will destroy us. He finished.
I know. Its just that hes a perversion of the Force. I dont understand how it is he still lives. Karla said. It scares me. She finished.
Yes, youre right. But we must remember the Jedi Code. We must remember what our masters taught us. He replied.
The ship seemed barren, and the only thing drawing them to it was the cold, dark, hatred they felt through the Force. The Republic had won a great victory this day, probably one big enough to end the war. They had stopped the Sith in the Outer Rims, before they had time to attack Coruscant. They could all feel the end of the war. Unfortunately, Darth Morte was still out there. They hadnt been able to stop him. He was a perversion of the Force, but they had taken down his ship, and now they believed they had him trapped. Marcus and Karla were two of the Academys brightest Apprentices, and the Council felt as though they were ready to take on the harrowing task of searching him down.
Initially, it had been their mentor, Master Vixius who was to be tasked to do it, but a Jedi Master would have been a prime target for the Sith. Marcus and Karla, however, had pretty much gone unnoticed and unpestered in their trek, only running into a few rabid bomas and a Tarentatek in one of their most recent encounters.
He has to be close Karla said.
Its definitely him, the power of the Dark Side is strong here, and I can feel it focused in a core area. I just cant locate that area. Marcus replied.
They turned a corner in the what-seemed-abandoned war-ship, and saw a trio of Sith Commandos. Before the Commandos had time to turn around and greet their intruders, Marcus and Karla leaped into battle, Karla quickly dispatching the one to their immediate left. Marcus wasnt so lucky. He had just gotten to his intended target, the one on the right, when the final one saw him and pulled his blaster. He fired upon Marcus, who had time to change his attack path to deflect the blaster bolts, but that left him vulnerable to his intended prey, who pulled out a vibroblade and set to attack the Jedi. Fate smiled upon him this day, however, as Karla quickly recovered from taking out her prey, and used the Force to push the Commando out of the way.
Karla quickly ran past Marcus as she finished off the Sith Commando who nearly ended her partners life, and Marcus, grateful for the turn of events set to attack the one who fired upon him. Using the Force as a battering ram, he sent his opponent flying. He then used the Force to push himself to his opponent, and hilt bashing him with his light saber.
That was close. Marcus said. Thank you for saving me. He finished.
There is no coincidence, Marcus, there is only the Force. She replied. I do feel, however, that this evil presence is taking up to much of our focus. She finished.
Youre right, he said these Commandos should never have been this much of an issue for us. Marcus said.
We still have much to learn. I see why we are still Apprentices Karla chimed in.
Slowly they continued about the battle worn-and-destroyed war-ship, this time spreading their focus to encompass any life that was inhabited by the ship, and not just the dark presence they both felt.
I dont feel anything else. Marcus said.
Neither do I. Karla replied.
They came upon a door, which they couldnt open. Marcus tried to use his light saber to open it, but something prevented him from getting close enough to the door to stab it. Karla found an over ride console and proceeded to slice the system which was just operational enough to let her open all the security doors and lower all the shields.
Where did you learn that? Marcus asked, impressed.
When I lived on Nar Shadaa, before I joined the Order, my father did it for a living. He kind of taught me how. Karla said, as they walked toward the door.
Good thing for us he did, then. Marcus finished, as they opened it.
As they entered the next room, they saw a figure kneeling in the middle of what was unmistakably a meditation chamber.
That must be him Karla whispered.
You dont have to whisper, Jedi, I know youre here. The figure said, remaining where he was.
Then you know why we have come, then. The war is over. You have lost. Marcus said.
Perhaps. The figure said. Its a possibility. But even if that were the case, the Sith would merely retreat, regroup, and come back stronger. It is the way of the Galaxy, you know. The Sith attack, the Republic try desperately to push us back. And in each and every one of these encounters, do you know what happens? The figure said, still unmoving.
They are pushed back? The Republic has more time of peace before you monsters attack us again? Karla said.
No, no. Nothing so simple. You are right though, in a way. But do you know who leads this new assault? This new attack on the Republic? He asked them.
One of your own. One of the many who fell during the last war. One of the Jedi who wasnt loyal enough to your precious Council. he said, chuckling slightly. Its ironic, really, that the Jedi try so hard to be the voice of reason, the spurring of peace and harmony, when in reality, it is a part of them they must keep peace against. He added.
Youre wrong. The Order does everything it can to help the Republic. Even if that means they feel it more wise to stay out of the affairs of those around them. Marcus said.
Look at you. So righteous, so just. The Jedi wait, as you say, because they cannot wage war. The Jedi, in their infinite wisdom and their Code understand that war leads to death, and that death leads to emotion. The Jedi try and preach peace and harmony, that there is no death, that there is only the Force. But in this, they dont take into consideration the strength of bonds. Bonds that are formed through running around a forest, fighting the Sith. Fighting the Mandalorians, fighting. . .whoever it is that should try to usurp the republic next. When one of those Jedi falls, what happens? He becomes one with the Force? Rarely will you see a group of Jedi who have fought together, who have killed together, not mourn the death of one of their own. It is one of the flaws of you Jedi. Of the Republic. The Council understands that their must not be an emotional tie. That you should not grieve, for grief leads to sadness, sadness leads to emptiness, and emptiness leads to the need for vengeance. And do you know, little Apprentices, where vengeance leads to? He asked, finally standing up.
They both just stood there, taking in what he was saying, trying not to listen. Trying to remember everything they had been taught.
This, my little Jedi, is just one of the many paths to the Dark Side. He said. And it is because of this that the Council is so hesitant when the call for war is sounded. And it is for this reason that the next Dark Lord of the Sith will be one of your own. He said, turning around.
He wore black robes, which covered the light battle armor he wore. The hood of his robes was pulled over to cover his face.
You-Youre not Darth Morte. Marcus said.
What gave it away? The man said, dryly. Is it the fact that I dont wear the Mask of Morte? Yes, my master has become rather well known for that damned thing, hasnt he? The man finished.
If youre not Darth Morte, than who are you. Karla asked, in bewilderment.
I am his apprentice, Mewta Lader. The man replied.
If youre his apprentice how come you havent accepted the Darth name? Marcus asked, curiosity getting the best of him.
Well, to be honest, Darth Lader wouldnt sound right, but for the sake of argument lets just say I havent fully proven myself, and either I will lure you to the wonders of the Dark Side, or I will kill you. Ultimately the choice is up to you. Mewta Lader said.
I guess we have no choice then. Karla said, reigniting her light saber.
Yes so it seems. added Marcus, reigniting his as well. We were hoping maybe you would come back to the Council with us. he finished.
Small chance of that. Mewta Lader said, reaching to his belt to pull his light sabers.
You will come back to the Council with us, Mewta Lader, because you cant possibly hope to defeat us both. Karla said, smiling smugly.
We shall see, Jedi, we shall see. He said, as he as he pulled down the cowl of his cloak.
He had a scar that ran from the corner of his left mandible to his right temple. It was a grotesque looking thing, but Marcus and Karla refused to be distracted by it.
Mewta Lader ignited his light sabers as he awaited his foes.
Marcus came in first, to what he thought would be Mewta Laders off-hand. Mewta Lader effectively parried his first slash, and twisted around with his other blade in an attempt to catch Marcus off guard. Marcus anticipated the slash and promptly jumped out of the way. Marcus crouched, sweeping his leg out in an attempt to knock Mewta Lader down, which Mewta Lader jumped over. Marcus, however, followed with his light saber, making Mewta Lader parry the attack, setting him slightly off balance.
Karla came in from Mewta Laders other side, hoping to quickly and effectively end the combat. Mewta Lader parried her attack, and got his balance. He had one on either side of him. They efficiently started to attack him showing great cohesion, and Mewta Lader was hard pressed to defend against them.
Karla and Marcus thought that the more they attacked him the more he would tire. But it seemed as though the opposite was happening. The more they attacked him, the more he seemed to be revitalized. The more he seemed to enjoy the moment. The more they attacked him, the more they kept up their flurry, the more he seemed to be enjoying the moment. Mewta Lader was a master of the blade, soaking in the adrenaline and the eerie calm that battle gave him. The further and deeper he delved into the lustful abandon of kill or be killed, the more free he became.
At the moment he didnt know this, but The Force was even then channeling itself through him, revitalizing and filling him with the calming hatred that he knew would inevitably lead him to victory. Its an old technique, one perfected by Freedon Nadd thousands of years ago. The ability soaked the minimal energy that Karla and Marcus were expending, and fed Mewta Lader with it.
Karla felt that she was weakening due to this, and called upon the Force to try and stop Mewta Lader in his tracks. Mewta Lader felt the distinct tingling of manifested Force, and set himself to block it. Mewta Lader hated when his opponents so abruptly tried to call the Force into a fight. Especially if he was out numbered. It sorely took away from the joys of combat, and it killed any real happiness he could have gotten from it.
Mewta Lader responded in kind, calling the Force to act as a wave and send them both flying from him. Karla was prepared for the counter attack, but Marcus wasnt. Marcus went flying across the meditation chamber and hit the wall hard, sliding down it, only to remain at the bottom, unconscious. Mewta Lader turned his full attention to Karla.
Join me, Jedi. Embrace the power of the Dark Side. Surely youve wondered how you cant beat me. How Im superior to you not only with the blade, but also with command of the Force. Mewta Lader said.
I cannot. Karla said. I wont.
You have one last chance, Jedi, or I will take your life. Mewta Lader replied.
No, no Karla said. Kill me then, but I will not fall to the Dark Side. Karla finished.
Oh, young Jedi. There are far worse things than death. Mewta Lader said, as he round housed her to the chin.
Watch carefully, Jedi. He smirked, as he walked over to the unconscious Marcus.
Watch as I take away your life. Watch as I kill the one you love. He said.
But Im a Jedi, I dont love! She screamed.
And that is why you will fall, pitiful Jedi. You will stand idly by and do nothing as I kill the one you love. And then you will feel remorse. You will feel grief. And then, you will feel the need for Vengeance. And with the need for vengeance, you will fall. You will accept the Dark Side if only to try and kill me. He said, as he grabbed Marcus by the hair, and lifted him up.
NOOOO! She screamed. Kill me instead. Please, kill me instead! She said, as she started to cry. As she realized that Mewta Lader had known what she had not. That she did indeed love Marcus.
Please, kill me instead She said, in between sobs.
In killing him, in ending his pathetic life, I am killing you. Im killing two Jedi as I plunge my light saber through his heart. Im sending one back to the Force, and Im sending one on a path to the Dark Side. But either way, tonight, both of you cease to exist. Mewta Lader said, as he stabbed his light saber through the torso of Marcus, turning it, and ripping it out to the side.
NOOOOOOOO!!!! Karla screamed as she tried to get up. She couldnt move, however, the gruesome sight of watching the man she loved killed right before her eyes made her immobile. She kneeled there, 20 feet away from him, her eyes wide in horror and her mouth agape.
Mewta Lader chuckled despite himself.
You Jedi are all the same. Youre all weak, youre all sad. Come, Jedi, and find me when you have truly embraced the path you know you must. Embrace the Dark Side, and well fight again. Mewta Lader said, as he left, laughing at the weakness of the Jedi and their flawed and revered Code.
In the absence of orders, find something: and kill it.

I must say that it wasn't bad at all! I thought that it was actually pretty good. I just noticed some puncuation errors, and I think that I have some advice for you.

Youre right, Marcus, the force is tainted in this area. I can feel the darkness. Its so strong. Said Karla.
Remember your training, Karla, Marcus started. we must remain at peace, or he will destroy us. He finished.
I know. Its just that hes a perversion of the Force. I dont understand how it is he still lives. Karla said. It scares me. She finished.
Yes, youre right. But we must remember the Jedi Code. We must remember what our masters taught us. He replied.
I noticed several mistakes in this 'scene' , so to say. Not with the content, just the puncuation. The easiest way to show you would be to revis it myself:

Notice that I double spaced. You don't have to do that, I just personally think that it looks neater. Just remember that when a new person in the story (any story) talks, you have to start a new paragraph.
Some advice that I would give you is to split up the action paragraphs into, maybe two or three paragraphs. It is just easier to read, and makes the fic more appealing, IMO.
I think that you did a great job, and I personally would love to see the sequel. I really do think that you did well. I hope that you don't take offense to the advice that I well-gave to you. Please see it as positive advice. Take whatever you want from it.

Anyways, thanks for reading and stay posted, the new one should be around shortly.

Dear annoying neighbor across the hall,
Yes, we work from home. Yes, we have a toddler who takes two naps per day (when the gods are kind). Yes, we're happy to receive signature-required packages from FedEx for you when you're out. But, seriously, you can't see the handwritten Post-it note on our door that reads: "Please knock, baby is sleeping. Thank you!"?
Maybe a more formal declaration in the form of this "Quiet Please Sleeping Baby" Enamel Sign ($15) is required to get your attention. We'll be hanging it over the doorbell during naptimes from now on, and if you wake up the toddler again, you'll face The Wrath Of Mom - considerably worse than the wrath of Khan.

The host was very helpfull, he gave us many useful tips. The apartment is small but cozy. There is everything what you need. It is a good baze to explore Athens.
Great place, i lived here for more than a month. I stayed there alone and the apartment was perfect for me, since i lived there for a fairly long time. It would certainly be nice for a couple too.
The area is very cozy, close to the park and with walking distance to the metro.
The apartment was clean and well located. Fotis was available and ready to find out. Satisfactory stay.
L'appartement était propre et bien situé. Fotis a été disponible et prêt à nous renseigner. Séjour satisfaisant.
my girfriend an me were in this apartment for two days and our stay was fantastic. the apartment is small but is perfect for two person. the metro station is 10 minutes walking and near the house there are supermarkets. fotis was very hospitable and he helped us in everything we needed.
Fotis was very sympatic with us, ponctual and provident ( air conditionning ok, fruits in the fridge, maps of the city, explanations to reach the appartment from the airport...). The appartment was a little far to the métro station but very pleasant, clean and perfect for a young couple.
HI This one of our best experience of Greece.
We were meet by Mr.Fotis who gave us a lot of super informtion regarding Athen and the the small flat. The flat was super , clean and neat . We would for sure like to come back for a longer periode next year. Many thanks, Mr. Fotis !
Such a pleasant stay! Fotis was very helpful and he provided a lot of information regarding not only the neighborhood but also the top attractions in Athens.
The studio was well-maintained and everything was provided. I am a light sleeper and the double-glazed windows really helped. The location is very convenient. I would definitely stay again. 5 stars for sure!! Thank you Fotis.
Wir hatten eine hervorragende Zeit in Fotis Wohnung. Es gibt alles, was man braucht. Die Wohnung liegt sehr gut, wenn man Athen erkunden will. Fotis war hilfsbereit und hat uns gute Tipps gegeben.
Fotis est un hôte très sympathique et disponible sur les horaires d arrivee et de depart. il nous a orienté vers des visites sympa sur Athènes et ses environs. Le logement est fonctionnel, proche d une boulangerie et d un supermarché, cependant un peu éloigné du metro. Très bon rapport qualité prix!

Unfortunately I'm no stranger with harassment on the streets, having lived in Sydney and small country towns before Newcastle, I mean as appearances go I don't consider myself unattractive, I'm not by any means thin, or conventional, but I take pride in myself and am careful to dress appropriately.
However the intensity and consistency of verbal and physical attacks since living here have been unprecedented, from having drinks thrown at me in bars, creeps asking incredibly personal things, even having my hair sniffed while walking the streets.
Mostly I try not to take too much notice, my long term boyfriend having even bought me a tazer to make me feel safer when I am out, and though it does its incredibly heartbreaking that it should come to that.
But rather to the point, I only just discovered this website and felt that I should share my most recent, and probably the most hurtful of experiences, being a late Sunday night, my boyfriend and I went for a walk to the 24hr grocery store to pick up some things so I could bake him some treats before he had to head home for work (he works rather odd houred shifts)
In my year of living here I was somewhat surprised to see the local club was going and quite lively, being familiar with the rather unkind crowd we opted to keep our distance and went on to do our shopping, however on our return as we took the same back streets avoiding the drunken crowds a car drove by slowly, a man leaning out the window screaming "fat slut!" at me as I stood there right next to my boyfriend, I felt completely humiliated, and angry for being judged at such a stupid hour on a Sunday night, I felt I had a right to be a little haggard, but I couldn't dare even express the pain to my boyfriend as he silently ignored it, walking back home all I could do was try not to cry.
All I could ask myself was, "What kind of man would insult a woman, a complete stranger, in such a way? Why should anyone ever have to put up with such a public humiliation?"
I yet to understand, but I certainly found some solace in this site, I'm glad to not feel completely alone.

The kind of man who does this is a pathetic one, who is so unhappy with himself he has to make others unhappy and feel small.
This is awful and unacceptable, I totally have your back!

We don't know about you, but when we were kids, we had about a million pairs of lace-trim leggings. Okay, not literally a million, but several. We wore them with baby doll shirts and scrunch socks. Old Navy is bringing them back this school season so a whole new generation can experience Lace-Trim Leggings ($9). Though if you're purchasing these for your daughter, try pairing them with short ruffled skirts, tees, and flats rather than colored scrunch socks, which thankfully, have definitely not come back in style!

The village is unprepossessing and small. But from the train station you can see the huge gates that trains must pass through on entering China. You can also just make out the high-rise buildings of Manzhouli, the Chinese city located 9 kilometers away.
According to locals, Manzhouli was about the size of Zabaikalsk 20 years ago. Now, while Zabaikalsk has a population of about 15,000, Manzhouli is a bustling metropolis of almost half a million people with shopping centers, an indoor skiing facility, 3D cinemas, bowling alleys, swimming pools and singing fountains.
I arrived on an overnight train from Chita. Around me in the platzkart carriage were three women. They went to bed as soon as the train pulled out of the station, but woke up at 2 a.m. to begin a meal of cold sausages.
The temperature had been falling slowly over the last two days and it was minus 26 Celsius when I stepped out of the train in Zabaikalsk. Most of the passengers headed straight for the waiting buses to take them the final leg into China.
People from Zabaikalsky region, and beyond, flock to Manzhouli for shopping — anything from clothes to furniture is cheaper — and entertainment. Companies in Chita even offer special package tours.
To enter China, Russians need either a visa, or to be included on a list of no less than five people put together by travel agencies: the Sino-Russian version of a visa-free regime. Russians returning from Manzhouli are allowed to bring back up to 50 kilograms of goods through customs.
Unbeknown to me, Zabaikalsk is located in a special "border zone" where non-Russians are permitted for transit purposes, but otherwise forbidden.
The car I was in was tailed as we drove around the town in the morning. And as I was sitting down to my first real Chinese meal of the trip so far, two border guards appeared and asked for my documents.
They escorted me out of the restaurant and into their green van, parked alongside two other vehicles. They explained that I was in the area illegally, and fined me 300 rubles ($10).
While they were filling out the forms, a cheerful major sitting in the front seat told me it was his dream to visit Scotland, particularly Edinburgh and Stirling.
He was a great admirer of the famous fighter for Scottish freedom, William Wallace, he said, and wanted to know my opinion about the viability of Scottish independence.
Then I was interviewed by a black-coated FSB officer who had scars around his mouth. He looked at the photographs on my camera and asked me a range of questions: from where I had learned Russian, to which university I had attended, and the details of my employment history. They let me go after about 40 minutes.
Deciding that I had had enough excitement for one day, I spent the last few hours of my stay in Zabaikalsk in the railway station waiting room, where signs were in English, Chinese and Russian.
I watched as it filled up with Russians returning from Manzhouli, struggling under the weight of bulging bags. Just like me, they were all headed for the overnight train back to Chita.
The region has traditionally been the scene of confrontation between Russia and China. In the most bloody exchange of the last 50 years over 100 soldiers from both sides were killed in fighting in 1969. The latest border treaty between Russia and China was signed and ratified as recently 2004.
At 4,444 kilometers the Amur river, which marks 1,600 kilometers of the Russia-Chinese border, is the tenth longest river in the world and the third largest in Russia, after the Yenisei and Ob rivers. The Chinese call it Heilong Jiang (Black Dragon) and the Mongols know it as Kharamuren (Black River).
The border between Russia and China, one of the longest continuous land borders in the world, stretches for 4,195 kilometers. The Canada-U.S. border (excluding Alaska) is 6,414 kilometers.
The Far East regions, including Zabaikalsky Region, account for 45.5 percent of Russia's territory and 7.6 percent of its population (10.8 million people)
The town of Mirnaya has seen its once 10,000-strong population decrease 85 percent, and remaining residents face a lack of jobs and infrastructure.

Hawkeye Wrestle-Offs (Friday, Nov. 12)
IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Hawkeye wrestling fans in attendance for Saturday's final day of wrestle-off competition in the Dan Gable Wrestling Complex saw some familiar performances, as well as several new faces trying to break their way into the 2011-12 lineup. Returning All-Americans Matt McDonough (125) and Derek St. John (157) each picked up bonus-point wins, while redshirt freshman Bobby Telford beat defending Big Ten Champion Blake Rasing at heavyweight.
"We saw some good things today, and we saw some things that we still need to work on," explained Head Coach Tom Brands. "We'll continue to work, and to figure out our lineup at the tournament in St. Louis next week."
McDonough kicked off the event at 125 by pinning redshirt freshman Matt Gurule in 4:26. The defending Big Ten Champion, McDonough led the Hawkeyes with 14 pins last season. At 133, senior Tyler Clark scored a 4-2 decision over sophomore and 2011 NCAA qualifier Tony Ramos. Brothers Mark Ballweg and Jake Ballweg followed with decisions at their weights, with Mark scoring a 2-0 decision over sophomore Nick Trizzino at 141, and Jake posting a 9-3 win over freshman Brody Grothus at 149. St. John scored the lone major decision of the morning, beating redshirt freshman Michael Kelly, 12-4, at 157. Redshirt freshman Mike Evans posted a 4-2 victory over redshirt freshman Nick Moore at 165. NCAA qualifier Ethen Lofthouse scored eight takedowns en route to his 22-7 technical fall at 174 over freshman Kris Klapprodt. At 184, senior Vinnie Wagner had a 2-1 lead in the second period before injury defaulting to redshirt freshman Jeremy Fahler. Sophomore Tomas Lira scored the second pin of the day, sticking freshman Josh Haug in 4:43 at 197. After a scoreless first period in the heavyweight bout, Telford rode Rasing the entire second period and added an escape in the third period to win, 2-0.
The Hawkeyes open the season Nov. 19 at the Lindenwood University Open in St. Louis. Iowa hosts its first dual of the season Nov. 25 with the Iowa City Duals. The Hawkeyes face Baker (3 p.m.), Cornell College (5 p.m.) and Iowa Central (7 p.m.) on Mediacom Mat inside Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
Season and single-meet tickets are now available for purchase on www.hawkeyesports.com. Season tickets for nine home duals (including the Iowa City Duals) are available for $67. Single-meet tickets for the Iowa City Duals (11/25), Illinois (12/2), Northern Iowa (12/8), Northwestern (1/15) and Wisconsin (2/5) are $10 for adults, $5 for children.

The key to understanding the success of today's American nursing home is understanding how to hire and retain Certified Nursing Assistants in an industry with over a 50% turnover rate. We live in a world with a growing elderly population and increasing demand to provide diverse, quality care for them. For many families, nursing homes are the answer. And for nursing homes to provide consistent, personal care, CNAs are the lifeblood.
To give perspective on the importance of CNA jobs in nursing homes, let's examine some stats from the American Health Care Association's Department of Research (2009 study):
- There are 1,000,948 direct-care staff working in nursing homes in America. This includes RNs, LPNs, and CNAs.
- Out of that total, 671,619 are Nurse Aides (aka CNAs).
- This means 67% of direct-care staff in nursing homes are CNAs.
That large population of CNAs in nursing homes also happens to be spending the most amount of time with residents, compared to other direct-care staff. Activities of daily living (ADLs) are all responsibilities of CNAs, so they spend multiple hours with the resident assisting with toileting, bathing, dressing, eating, and ambulation. The facts and stats demonstrate just how essential CNAs are to the smooth functioning of the modern nursing home.
The demand for CNAs is not going to be diminishing any time soon. So in an industry with a turnover rate of over 50%, how do nursing homes hold onto hard-working, valuable CNAs? Research from a recent study, Q1 2014 Caregiver Trend Report offers insight into the importance of ongoing caregiver training. In fact, 71% of caregivers stated that they must be learning to stay on with a company. Offering paid training gives caregivers the impression that you are investing in them, it binds them to your mission, and it helps decrease the risk of burnout. Other retention tips include contacting CNAs via phone, rather than email - they see it as more personal, and keeping an open line of communication between management and caregivers. Focusing efforts on CNA retention will be a key factor contributing to the success and growth in 2014 for nursing homes across America.

If there was a smidgeon of a belief left that maybe Kandi Burruss' mother Joyce "Mama Joyce" Jones was acting out for the cameras on reality show "Real Housewives of Atlanta," the interview she conducted on "The View" on Thurs., Feb. 20, confirmed this is really her personality. Even talk show host/comedian Whoopi Goldberg tried to give her advice against ruining the relationship of her daughter and fiance Todd Tucker.
"You and I are minutes apart in terms of age," said Whoopi to Joyce. "We don't have time for this mess. Let her make the mistake if she's gone make the mistake. You've got to let her do it."
The rest of the interview was the usual: Todd proved once again how freelancing works and that he does have stable income in his career. Kandi cried in front of her mother and explained for the millionth time about how much her mother was hurting her. And Joyce found new, bizarre reasons to not like Todd.
While Goldberg did suggest that maybe Joyce was so overprotective because Kandi may have made earlier mistakes in a previous relationship, the bigger issue is that Todd appears to have made no mistakes. And since he isn't giving Joyce ammunition, she's making up reasons to not like Todd as she goes along. First Joyce felt that the two of them shouldn't be together because gossip talk show host Wendy Williams called him an "opportunist" without knowing either Kandi or Todd. Then the issue was the size of Todd's head. Then it was the fact that too many photos of Todd were at Kandi's home but not enough of Joyce. Then there were random rumors being spread by Joyce's friend about whether Todd and Kandi's childhood friend/assistant Carmen were sleeping together.
And the arguments weren't just verbal. In addition to Joyce calling Carmen an "old low-down heifer" on her voicemail for confronting her friend about the rumors, Joyce tried to throw a shoe at Carmen during a bridal dress fitting.
Joyce has single-handedly made herself the most cringeworthy and meddlesome mother on television, minus De'Londa Brice from "The Wire." Even other reality TV moms haven't trended this much on Twitter.
Nancy Jones of "Love & Hip-Hop New York" and "Chrissy & Mr. Jones" eventually mended fences after Chrissy and Nancy's son/rapper Jim Jones both put their feet down. Deborah "Momma Dee" Bryant, mother of rapper Scrappy, never quite made up with the mother of Scrappy's child Erica on "Love & Hip-Hop Atlanta," but both of them did make an attempt -- just never at the same time. However, Scrappy did have a heart-to-heart with his mother and also put his foot down about the way Erica had been treated.
Other reality mothers only poked their noses in their children's relationships when they were put in the middle. Fay Southerland would try to win over Tahiry with smiles, compliments and affection during the worst battles between she and rapper Joe Budden on "Love & Hip-Hop New York." Chandrea Nicholls, mother of producer Rich Dollaz, played the background unless her son or his on-again, off-again girlfriend Erica Mena contacted her.
But even on their worst days, none of the reality TV moms ever sunk so low as to try to pay someone to set up the significant other of their child. According to Carmen, Joyce was willing to pay someone to take photos of Todd at an outing to make it seem like he was flirting with other women. And once again, all Kandi did was cry and talk about how her mother would never leave her after Todd told her it was a possibility should Joyce's antics get any worse.
What Kandi doesn't seem to realize is that Joyce of course will not leave her. She'll just make it a point for Kandi to be left by everyone else, friends and boyfriends included. And the only person who will ever make Joyce either stop the stunts or mind her business is her own daughter, who continues to do nothing but appease this child-like behavior.
Seeing TV star moms like Phylicia Rashad on Mon., Feb. 17, episode of "The Queen Latifah Show" made viewers long for the days when TV moms showed some class but still managed to be entertaining. Claire Huxtables appear to be a dying breed -- on TV anyway.

Reginald Braithwaite says that a programming language cannot be better without being unintuitive. I agree more with his follow up, that
Unfamiliarity is the driving force behind being better in the sense of a programming language. And "intuitive" isn't a real property of programming languages, it's the result of good design.
Would I want the programming language I am learning to be familiar to what I already know? No, because I heart this quote from Alan Perlis:
A language that doesn't affect the way you think about programming, is not worth knowing.
I also believe that things have to be different to be better. In fact this is something I have been using to decide whether to jump into learning a programming language or not.
Having said that I do want the programming language to be intuitive. In my opinion, intuition is not familiarity, it is about immediate cognition, a sense more than a comfort level. Practically, it lets me grasp a minimal core of the programming language and understand how to build rest of the language features from its philosophy. And I think this is extremely powerful because it gives you insight into the language design.

Maybe this is a stupid question. So stupid that I can't find the answer in tutorials or documentation.
I want to make some tests with Tornado Web Server. As far as I can see in the examples, Tornado can be started in, for instance, port 8000 and this setup is made with python code in the root of the app.
However, I've seen that people seems to be using it with Nginx, and I don't understand well their motivations. I understand that having an Nginx in the front can be necessary for production purposes, but for debugging, Isn't enough to start the script with the application?:
python app.py
Why is necessary to have Nginx even for testing purposes?. Thanks a lot.

The drug busts just keep on comin' along Interstate 40 as it courses through the Texas Panhandle.
What is wrong with that? Not a thing.
The Department of Public Safety announced this week that it seized more than $26 million in illicit drugs along I-40, which is up considerably from the amount of drugs seized in 2006.
Indeed, the Panhandle division of DPS usually sets the pace for the entire state police organization in the amount of drugs it intercepts along the 177-mile stretch of freeway that runs east-west through the Panhandle.
It's a bit of a dubious honor for the local DPS officers who patrol the region. However, it is an honor nonetheless.
Yes, the drug legalization advocates around the country like to deride the heavy law enforcement emphasis placed on these drug interdictions. They contend that legalizing these drugs - cocaine, marijuana, even the so-called hard stuff, such as heroin - "decriminalizes" an activity that should be treated more as a medical problem than a law enforcement problem.
The drug issue in this country is deep and pervasive.
Law enforcement officers take an oath to enforce local, state and federal law.
Last time anyone checked, transporting illegal drugs is a serious crime that needs serious attention.
DPS officers are on the job doing what they took an oath to do. And they deserve the community's praise for their pursuit of drug runners using our highways to deliver their poison.

Reviews for Apple Cinnamon Streusel Muffins
"I just joined ToH to rate this wonderful recipe! I did follow one of the reviewer's suggestions of shredding the apple (used Granny Smith). I also added 2 tblsp of ground flax seed and used brown sugar in the muffin mix, cutting back a bit on it. I made this into six jumbo muffins and had enough for two of the mini-loaf pans. They came out fluffy and delicious, and the topping was great! The cooking time of 18 min worked perfectly, although I left the bread in for one more min....wanted a little more browning. Nice recipe for breakfast or just with a cup of tea!"
"The muffins were so moist and tasty!! :)"
"I modified this recipe to make it gluten-free and it turned out addicting! I used 1 1/2 cups white rice flour, 1/3 cup potato starch and filled out the rest of the 2 cups with tapioca starch. That's it. I happened to have a green and a red apple that measured to 2 cups of chopped apple and added it all anyway. I didn't have sour cream so I used Vanilla Kefir instead, and just in case (because of the sweetness of it) I decreased the sugar to 3/4 cup (1/2 cup white and 1/4 cup brown sugar). Ended up with 20 muffins. Delicious, moist, perfect amount of sweetness...A keeper!"
"These muffins taste great! I made some adjustments. I used 1 cup whole wheat flour along with 1 cup all purpose flour. I used 2 cups chopped apples, but next time, I would shred them instead. I used about 1/2 a cup of brown sugar in place of white sugar. I will definitely make these again!"
"These muffins are very moist and tender, I added extra apples to the recipe so the muffins were larger and required an extra seven minutes of cooking time. They came out of the oven beautiful and the whole neighborhood was delighted by the smell."

"Haven't made pineapple casserole for 5 years or more.... decided to try this lighter version and it is SO delicious! My visitors had never had it and the dish went around and around and soon there was hardly any left. I doubled the recipe and put it in a 9x13, it was fairly thick and it baked for 50 minutes. Perfect."

Venting frustration
Tuesday, August 06, 2013
I have had many things I wanted to write about, but I always forget them.
First, I noticed my weight was way down in the past couple days. It's the three-week cycle (not sure how that works, since all cycles I know about are FOUR-week deals) where my weight drops low, then creeps up again. Anyway, I was able to wear a suit Monday that I haven't worn in a while. It was a little snug, but not enough to look bad. I was encouraged.
But, as the cycle goes on, my weight is creeping up and I doubt I could put it on now, just two days later. I have no idea what this is... it's maddening. There has to be some water or hydration thing going on, maybe the phases of the moon... except that all hormonal and lunar cycles are (you guessed it) FOUR WEEKS. Where is the three coming from?
I played badminton Sunday and although my leg felt OK while I was playing, it didn't feel great for the rest of the day. I started taking ibuprofen based on a doctor's casual advice ... he was just someone a friend knows. Anyway, if I can ever identify exactly what the pain/discomfort is, maybe I'll make an appointment. But my doctor always makes me feel so stupid for being there, I hate to subject myself to more discouragement.
I have been craving crunchy lately, and that is weird for me. I indulged my craving yesterday with pretzels for a snack... today, I went crazy with wheat thins and cereal. Not so good... but the crunchy was very satisfying. How I feel tomorrow may not be so satisfying, we'll see.
I have to write a paper tonight and tomorrow, and I am not looking forward to it. I also take off for a week in Alaska (for work) next Monday, and the bureaucratic machine is making that as painful as possible. I feel like I can do well on trips, though, if I plan it out well. I just need to plan for the paper that's due next week, too. Then I will be done with class for a while.
That all seemed like kind of a rant... I just hadn't written in a while and felt like I should. The injury is still really getting me down, but I bought a new pair of running shoes just to be sure I was wearing good ones when I finally get back out on the road. Whenever that is.

TEMPE, Ariz. — Arizona State University and Texas Tech University have scheduled a future home/home series in football, Senior Vice President for Educational Outreach and Interim Director of University Athletics Dr. James Rund announced Thursday.
The games will be played on Saturday, September 10, 2016, at Sun Devil Stadium/Frank Kush Field in Tempe and on Saturday, September 16, 2017, at Jones AT&T Stadium in Lubbock.
The dialogue between ASU and Texas Tech regarding a future football series began several months ago. It is a coincidence that the two institutions will be opponents in the upcoming National University Holiday Bowl game on Monday, December 30 in San Diego.
"This is a series that addresses several criteria that we have in football scheduling," says Rund. "It is important for us to schedule home/home series with schools that are located in the Western portion of the United States. The state of Texas destination offers our fan base with an easy trip to make to watch their beloved Sun Devils play. Texas Tech is a first-class institution representing the powerhouse Big 12 Conference. And our football staff, led by Head Coach Todd Graham, recruits heavily in the state of Texas."
"I am thrilled to be able to announce a future football series with Texas Tech University," says Sun Devil Head Football Coach Todd Graham. "Scheduling is so important to the overall success of a program and this is the type of matchup that we are seeking to fulfill our future dates. We recruit the talent-rich state of Texas and this series will assist us to widen our footprint there."

Turtle Bay is a boutique hotel in Kalamatiya, Sri Lanka. Kalametiya is a small village 214 km south of Colombo. Turtle Bay promotes responsible luxury. That means luxury tourism that is environmentally and socially sustainable. The hotel is designed to be comfortable, functional and luxurious yet informal to make you feel at home. The service is attentive and intuitive to let you immerse in the tranquillity of the location. Influenced by ideals of tropical living and modern definitions of luxury, the architecture and interior is a refreshing amalgamation of different design elements. There are 7 marine turtle species. Unfortunately they are all listed as endangered or critically endangered. 5 out of these 7 species come to the deep south coastal belt of Sri Lanka for nesting. The most magical and unsolved mystery is how the adult female sea turtles always return to nest in the very same beach, where they were born. This remarkable homecoming begins when they reach about 25 years and continues for their entire lives. It has been a turtle tradition since the days of the dinosaurs.
Therefore, the protection of turtle nesting areas is imperative to ensure the survival of the marine turtles. Even then, only 1 in 1000 hatchlings may survive up to the breeding age. Turtle Bay is committed to increasing these odds. All rooms offer a commanding view of the chameleon-like Indian ocean and the miles of virgin beach. Since we are located in the deep south of the island, guests are treated to both invigorating sunrises and spectacular sunsets. The 40 sq meter rooms are a harmonious fusion of indigenous materials and refined luxuries. The tastefully crafted decorating elements impart a hint of romantic grandeur, to create a unique sense of tropical intimacy. The 55 sq ft oversized luxurious beds complemented with a great selection of pillows are designed to induce a blissful slumber. At Turtle Bay, life moves at your pace. The restaurant has no fixed meal times and anywhere in the hotel or on the beach is ever ready for alfresco dining. The resident chef prepares global favourites and a refreshingly creative range of fusion dishes and authentic local dishes. Guests can also select from the catch of the day straight off the local fishing boats and pluck fruit and vegetables from our biodynamic farm and let our chef whip up some magic. The bar serves up classics and exotic cocktails along with a great selection of soothing coolers. Turtle Bay's tranquil surroundings create the ideal conducive environment for a total rejuvenation. The treatment packages offered are not the standard ayurveda packages available elsewhere. We offer a range of treatments based on the native medicine of the Island known as the "Hela Wedakama". Hela Wedakama is older than ayurveda and in fact ayurveda evolved as a sub category of Hela Wedakama. This system has been practiced for thousands of years and the knowledge is well guarded in ancient ola leaf manuscripts handed down from one generation of practitioners to another.
All our oils, formulas and rejuvenating tonics are made by these experienced doctors and are not the standard mass produced medicines. The strict use of only the authentic and pure ingredients ensures the potency of the medicines and their remarkable results. After a consultation with our resident doctor, treatments are individualized to your body type and conditions. The treatment regiments are planned to simultaneously cleanse, heal, restore and balance the entire mind, body and soul to achieve a profound state of well being. Yala National Park has the world's highest concentration of leopards and it is the best place to spot them. The 979 sq km Yala park is also home to Asian elephants, sloth bears, wild buffalos, deer, wild boars, crocodiles,primates and both endemic and migratory birds. (90 mins) Kalamatiya Bird Sanctuary is a brackish water body fringed by mangroves and salt marshes and separated from the sea by a narrow strip of beach. Kalamatiya lagoon is home to over 180 species of endemic and migratory birds and supports a variety of smaller mammals.(15 mins) Uda Walawa National Park with an estimate of 500 wild elephants, is one of the best places in Sri Lanka to observe these noble giants. Uda Walawa also has an elephant transit home, where injured or orphaned elephants are cared for and then released back in to the wild.

Groovy new group Wild Belle releases a third track from their upcoming 2012 album, Isles. Won't lie, the retro hipster aesthetic of this video has kinda stolen our hearts. The song is called "Backslider" and has a smooth retro-pop feel with tropical tinges. Their other singles, "Keep You" and "It's Too Late" also hold a similar tropical thread, mixed in with reggae, jazz, and soul vibes as well. You can watch those videos after the jump. Love the lead singer's honeyish voice.
Hop over to the NY Times blog to read an interview with the band.

March 11, 2012
CHICAGO, Ill. - The fourth-ranked Stanford men's gymnastics team finished the regular season in fine fashion, posting a 355.500-337.800 victory over host University of Illinois-Chicago Sunday. The Cardinal posted its second highest score of the season and has almost four weeks to prepare for MPSF conference championships in April.
Stanford won all six team events and captured five of the six individual titles in a balanced performance. Individual winners including John Martin on pommel horse, James Fosco on still rings, Sean Senters on vault, Cameron Foreman on parallel bars and Eddie Penev on high bar.
Martin's 15.700 on pommels, Fosco's 16.000 on rings and Foreman's 15.200 on parallel bars set season highs for the Cardinal.
The time off couldn't come at a better time for the Cardinal. Competing short-handed all year, the team has fielded a squad of eleven for most of the season and will benefit from escaping the grind of competition for a while. Stanford wrapped up the season with six meets in five weeks, taking to the road for three meets in the past nine days.
MPSF Championships are hosted by the U.S. Air Force Academy and will take place in Colorado Springs, Colo. on April 7.
