Nikon SB-910 Flash, pros/cons
I am looking at possibly buying an SB-910 for use both on camera and off fired by a remote. I was wondering if anyone has any problems or issues with theirs? If I'd use it remotely triggered, can I use it as the commander to fire my SB-600 on a boom behind my subject? Thanks for all the helpful information!
#1. "RE: Nikon SB-910 Flash, pros/cons" | In response to Reply # 0laddad Nikonian since 13th Nov 2005Tue 21-Aug-12 11:55 PM
I have a SB-900 (very similar to the SB-910) and I have used it in command mode to fire my SB-600 and my SB-800 flashes in remote modes. I own a D300 and a D800. Both of these have built-in flashes with command mode and I prefer to let the camera be the commander with all of the flashes being slaves. Your desired need should work easily.
More fun has been my recent ebay purchases of used PocketWizzards (MiniTT1 and FlexTT5) for use with the flashes. No more line-of-sight set-ups!
#2. "RE: Nikon SB-910 Flash, pros/cons" | In response to Reply # 0MEMcD Nikonian since 24th Dec 2007Wed 22-Aug-12 02:54 AM
Hi Isaac,
The only way to use an SB-910 as a remote Commander is to have it attached to the cameras hotshoe via an SC-28, SC-29, or SC-17 TTL extension cord.
Good Luck and Enjoy your Nikons!
Best Regards,

Arum: HBO Will Not Financially Back Ortiz-Marquez Bout
By Lem Satterfield
Top Rank's CEO, Bob Arum, says HBO will not financially assist Golden Boy Promotions with putting together a fight between Juan Manuel Marquez and WBC welterweight champion Victor Ortiz. Golden Boy's CEO, Richard Schaefer, was quoted by the Los Angeles Times as stating that "HBO would be on board" to help finance Ortiz-Marquez.
Ortiz is one possibility for Golden Boy to match a revised offer that Marquez received to face Manny Pacquiao in a trilogy bout on November 12 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The offer for Pacquiao includes a $5 million dollar guarantee with a pay-per-view upside, a rematch clause with a $10 million dollar guarantee, and a catch-weight of 144-pounds.
Pursuant to an expired promotional agreement, Marquez must provide Golden Boy with the opportunity to match Top Rank's offer. Schaefer was previously planning to offer Marquez a fight with Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, but Top Rank's revised offer, with the catch-weight of 144, rules Alvarez out.
According to Arum, HBO reached out to advise him of their position with respect to Schaefer's comments to The Times.
"When Richard said that HBO was going to finance him and so forth, that's just not true. You can check with HBO. They are not going to finance the Marquez-Ortiz fight. That's just not true. I got calls from HBO saying categorically that wasn't true," Arum told BoxingScene.com.

Already in the 2013 Grand Canyon State Summer Games a 2-year-old has competed in BMX and a 99-year-old has thrown javelin.
The age range is typical for the annual summer Olympic-style festival, which kicked off April 20 with the freestyle wrestling championships. Amateur athletes of all age levels and skills from around the state participate in the Games, the largest amateur sports festival of its kind in the country.
The Grand Canyon Games run year-round. That includes Winter Games, Summer Games, Desert Challenge for those with physical disabilities and the Lori Piestewa National Native American Games to be held July 10-14.
"It never ends," Executive Director Erik Widmark said. "It's a non-ending cycle of opportunity for our amateur athletes."
This year Widmark and his staff are celebrating 20 years of games and look forward to eclipsing 500,000 cumulative participants, a feat Widmark said has the staff "bursting at the seams with pride."
Approximately 25,000 people participate in the Grand Canyon Games in some way each year and almost 4,000 in the summer session. Upcoming events include basketball for adults and youth, badminton, skateboarding, arm wrestling, scooter competition and dodgeball.
Registration is still open for the events, though some have late entry fees. All information can be found on the organization's website, gcsg.org.
"We're making a difference in people's lives through sports," Widmark said. "I really believe it to be an alternative to drug use, gangs, violence (and) crimes. I guarantee if you're an athlete you don't have time for (those things). We're creating sponsors, volunteers, participants (and) board members that provide opportunities for athletes."
The summer events run through Aug. 10 when the 2013 Games are scheduled to conclude with weightlifting.

File Organizers to Keep the Office Neat and Organized
File organizers make organizing quick and simple with a wide variety of file boxes, portables, tubs and bins. Open-top boxes are perfect for desktop or drawer organization and let you easily access frequently used files. Organize files by client, class or company in convenient pick-and-go suitcase-type portable boxes, and maximize storage space with stackable bins. These file organizers make life easy and have versatile storage and organizing applications in a wide range of settings, from homes, schools, law offices and medical clinics to small businesses that sell knick knacks and manufacturing facilities that store small parts for assembly.
Boost Productivity With File Organizers
Does your workplace lose a lot of man hours and productivity because important files such as signed contracts, patient records or client depositions are difficult to locate like needles in a haystack? Organize your office files with military precision by using file organizers so the time wasted in wading through the clutter can be put to productive and creative endeavors. Open-top boxes hold hanging folders that are easy to locate and grab while professional-looking portable file boxes with handles ensure everything is in one place and ready for you to pick up and run for that court hearing, business pitch or bank meeting. Label the organizers by client, company, customer, patient or year, and arrange alphabetically or sequentially so you and your staff know exactly where documents are located. Let file organizers help in streamlining your physical recordkeeping operations and boost your dollar bottom-line.
Maximize Office and Work Space
As the volume of files and documents increase over each school year, production cycle or tax filing season, don't let documents of years past take over your cubicles, assembly areas and storage rooms. Use file organizers to convert dead space into useful storage areas, such as with stackable bins and collapsible boxes that neatly store under office tables or corner walls several units high. Most of the bins and boxes have space at the front for labeling purposes so you can quickly locate the files you need. Matching dividers allow you to divide bins into sections for additional organization such as sections for contracts, purchase orders, invoices and warranty issues. Who says there's never enough space?
Invest in High-Quality File Organizers
Many of Quill's lineup of file organizers are made of sturdy polypropylene material, high-quality durable plastic or reinforced cartons so they are strong, stylish and lightweight, yet durable enough to withstand repeated use and rough handling. The organizers are ergonomically designed for easy pick up and easy carriage. Some of the file organizers have nonskid strips that keep them stable and upright when placed on smooth surfaces, and storage boxes have smartly designed lids and covers that are easy to open and close while keeping documents securely inside.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
What Is Brucellosis?
In this article
How Is Brucellosis Diagnosed?
Your doctor will examine you. You may have:
- A swollen liver
- Swollen lymph nodes
- A swollen spleen
- Unexplained fever
- Joint swelling and pain
- A rash
Blood tests will be done to diagnose the infection and determine what type of Brucella is making you sick. Proper identification of the bacteria helps pinpoint the source of the infection.
How Is Brucellosis Treated?
Brucellosis can be difficult to treat. If you have brucellosis, your doctor will prescribe antibiotics. Antibiotics commonly used to treat brucellosis include:
- doxycycline
- streptomycin
- ciprofloxacin or ofloxacin
- rifampin
- bactrim
- tetracycline
You will be given more than one kind of antibiotic.
You must take the antibiotics for many weeks to prevent the disease from returning. The rate of relapse following treatment is about 5-15% and usually occurs within the first six months after treatment.
Recovery can take weeks, even months. Patients who receive treatment within one month of the start of symptoms can be cured of the disease.
What Are the Complications of Brucellosis?
Severe brucellosis may cause:
- Infection of the central nervous system
- Endocarditis (infection of the lining of the heart or valves)
- Liver abscess
Brucellosis can cause long-lasting symptoms that are similar to systemic exertion intolerance disease. SEID is formerly known as chronic fatigue syndrome. The symptoms can lead to disability. They may include:
- Fatigue
- Fevers that come and go
- Joint pain
Brucellosis in a pregnant woman may lead to:
- Miscarriage
- Birth defects in the baby
Death from brucellosis is uncommon. Most brucellosis-related deaths are due to endocarditis.
How Can I Prevent Brucellosis?
Brucellosis may be prevented with the following steps:
- Do not drink or eat unpasteurized dairy products.
- Wear rubber gloves if you work in the animal processing industry.
If you have come in contact with an animal infected with Brucella, tell your health care provider -- even if you do not have symptoms. You will need to be monitored for at least six months. There is no effective human vaccine to prevent brucellosis.

I've been cheating on my husband with Dylan, for over a month now. I've told myself over and over again not to fall for him, but it's harder than I thought. I'm in this for the sex, and I'm fine with Dylan fucking other women; like I mentioned before, it even turns me on a little. I just didn't realize how addicted I've become to his thick nine-inch cock. I fantasize about him a lot, and...

I had been tempted to cheat on my husband with other guys before, but never did. Until recently. I'm a physiotherapist at a sports injury clinic and a couple of months ago a new client named Dylan came in for treatment on a quad strain. There was a strong attraction between us right away - he's gorgeous and his tall, tight body is totally my type. He even looks a little like Ryan Gosling....

So as we all know August is International Women's Month.
And this got me thinking about what it truly means to be a woman. What power do I actually have as a woman?
I was blessed to be raised by a very strong and independent mother with a fierce strength and an unwavering love for her family and her children. She taught me to be strong, independent, smart, loyal and true to myself.
She taught me that I was beautiful and perfect in my own right and that I did not need a man to make me feel whole, that I could stand on my own and care for myself and my dreams. She taught me to think for myself, and my father taught me that being smart and educated meant that I would be a force to be reckoned with in my own right.
My parents both taught me that, when I fell in love and gave my heart to someone, we would become a team, growing in love and friendship, lifting one another up to become the best versions of ourselves. Never breaking one another down and always giving and receiving in love, patience and strength. I would be his equal, his best friend and his greatest love... not his slave or footstool, because I have my own will and can think for myself, and he would respect that in me, as I would in him. Supporting him in his dreams and ambitions, guiding gently and loving completely, caring deeply as a wife should according to the bible... not because I have to but because I want to.
Because a woman who is loved will bloom, glow and soar higher and higher.
I was blessed to be raised this way, but most women aren't that lucky. In some countries, women have absolutely no voice, no rights and no independence or true love. They are bound to men by tradition, laws, responsibility and constrictions. These women are raised to believe that they are owned, they are nothing alone, they have no strength and voice. That they cannot exist without a man to rule them. Somewhat medieval, if I have to say so.
We live in a time where you would think women's rights are there to protect, to speak for those who cannot, to save the lost and heal the broken... but it does not always work out that way. We still have such a long way to go to ensure that all women are treated everywhere with equal rights, opportunities and privileges.
I believe that if a man is raised well by a strong, happy, loved and nurturing mother, who is treated with respect, dignity and grace by her husband, he will grow up with a sense that a woman is someone who must be treasured and loved, that she is his match in every sense, not his possession. That he must lift her up, protect and guard her heart and life as she would for him. And in the same sense a girl should see her mother love and adore her father. Treat him with love and kindness, respect and loyalty. Aiding him in his dreams and passions.
This would, I believe, ensure that fewer women would enter into abusive and toxic relationships; they would choose a man based on his principles and not his looks, his integrity and not his money, his faith and not his possessions.
I honestly believe we have come such a long way in protecting and uplifting women and how they are treated, but we are not done yet. Together we can make future leaders with strength and grace, willfulness and independence, nurturing and beautiful women who will be mothers, lovers, healers and partners to strong, determined, faithful and powerful men of God.
I am proud to be a strong, independent, loving and kind, beautiful woman.
As the morning sun comes up over Table Mountain and I climb the final steps up Lion's Heads hiking trail, I get a sense of just how small I actually am, looking around at all the majesty of God's artwork. How blessed am I not to be able to experience this, see and feel it, touch and taste it. How often do we forget to be thankful? Even for the little things we receive on a daily basis?
I had the opportunity to work in the oncology ward and it rocked me to my core. I have so much respect for every single person that works there, starting from the cleaner that keeps the ward so clean and happy for the patients, to the cheerful tea lady and catering staff that make sure the patients are getting healthy and tasty food, to the receptionist that always welcomes the family and friends with so much love and kindness, the Matron that organizes every day for the ward and makes sure that not only are the patients cared for and loved but also her personnel.
I realized in oncology that every day counts here, there are no guarantees of tomorrow and no regrets about the past.
Here you live today as best you can, you learn something new, you touch someone, you look into their eyes when speaking and you engage with them, and actually listen to them, you share in their journey.
That is such a blessing.
I was blown away by the love and grace the staff treated the patients, they did not rush (although they had a right to, with everything that had to be done, on a daily basis), they almost looked angelic in their chores, and I fell in love with nursing all over again.
This is why I am a nurse, this is why I love so hard, I feel so much, and give of myself to every single person I meet, because I too know how quickly your whole world can change in the blink of an eye.
That you have to treasure every single day you have to be with those you love and care for. Make memories that last, that will help you through days that might seem or feel cold and hopeless.
You have to always be kind and know that today is where you have to be wholly involved, because tomorrow might not be there, and today is a present to be opened and enjoyed fully.
My patients in oncology taught me this:" You need only have courage and believe that every day you open your eyes and you can feel, love and breath, is a blessing granted to you by God, and you don't have to do anything to deserve it, you must just simply LIVE!!"
May has nurse's week...so I decided to speak to some nurses about what nursing means to them. I spoke to nurses who are close to retirement and too young, hopeful bright eyed and bushy tailed nurses, fresh out of University. And boy there was a huge difference in opinions. Strange how the circumstances of your work, where you work, how you're treated and have been treated and things you have experienced changes your opinion and the experience you have in nursing.
Some of this already starts in Nursing School. This is where you get your first taste of what being a nurse truly means. You are taught the core principles and values in the nursing world, intertwine that with your own beliefs and somewhere in between you have to find the happy medium to make you the best nurse that you can be.
You gulp up all the information, fight through everything you have to get done in record time, and then you graduate *** Laude...you walk out of nursing school with shoulders broad and proud, head held high, that you will conquer and defeat the evil in the world, that you will be a modern day Florence Nightingale... (pause, gulp, que dramatic music) And then you walk smack into the hands of the Ward Matron at the hospital, and she brings you straight back down to earth. And not in a good way, you crash land like a big Boeing 747. And all your beautiful ideals and dreams go up in smoke.
Be it a good or bad experience, your first true nursing experience always stays with you, it shapes who you become as a nurse.
Then you find your feet in nursing and you establish who and what you are, what your good at and what not. You feel like a nursing Einstein because you feel like you know all there is to know. You love going to work, love your patients and colleagues. And as the years go along, you see and experience things that change you. Your vision of the world goes from rosy glasses to hardcore reality glasses...and contrary to believe this is where everyone changes to either a true nurse, or this-is-just-a-job nurse, or so I am told.
Every one experiences things differently I have learnt, but the way you were raised, your principles and values govern what you are. Rules in nursing as in life is there to keep us on the right path, to keep us out of trouble and to guide-yes you read this right- to guide us, not to dictate or order, to guide us.
Nursing for me started at a young age, where I would see the sisters in their pristine White uniforms and Vails. Gliding along and always having this bright smile and cheery attitude. Never once did I pick up that they did not have time for my million questions, that they had a ton of work to be done, that someone has just passed away and they were saddened by it, or that they had had a horrible day of difficult patients and doctors etc. They always had this aura of serene peace and calm around them. And I told myself then...I want to be that when I grow up.
And after years of studying I am a nurse and I love my job. I have made my dream a reality.
Nursing for me is love with its work boots on. It isn't about me, but my patients, no matter how they are or treat me. Bottom line for me is, that they are in an environment that is scary, they are out of their comfort zone and they are ill. So I treat them with love and kindness, patience and respect...because they could be my mom and dad or my sisters. I was raised that everyone has their own spirit, and I should respect that.
I should not judge someone until I have successfully walked a mile in their shoes for a day. I should be kind and fair, and treat others as I would want to be treated always. If I am upset or hurt, then I deal with it with that person and that person alone, and once it is said and done...it is done. We move on, start over. Never take your troubles to work, everyone will see it, but not everyone will help you, as we are all fighting silent battle in some way or another.
Nursing to me is brilliance in technicolor. It is filled with all sorts of people and experiences. I get to see a baby open their eyes for the first time. I get to close a patience eyes that leave this world for al lifetime with our Heavenly Father. I get to give hope and attention to someone who has lost theirs. I get to listen to life stories...and experience that with them.
Yes and I get to be picked on, bled on, bitten, shouted at, scolded, reprimanded, and of course internal wars at work with colleges...but that is minor to the fact that I get to go home every night and know that today, even for just a moment...
I touched and changed someone's life and to them it meant something, just as they did to me when I was a young bright eyed girls dreaming of one day becoming a nurse in white.
As I sit and stare out the window of our tearoom, looking out at Table Mountain ,I cannot help and feel a sense of wonder and how I blessed I am to live in such a beautiful country.
I get a sense of pride. I think of how blessed I am for all I have and I smile and with that my mind changes course to all those that in this festive season don't have the same sense of pride that I feel.
I wonder how many of us actually think about those less fortunate...those who won't have a warm meal ,a safe place to sleep.
Are we so reluctant to truly help, or do we live only for ourselves not wanting to get involved in someone else's life story or drama. Have we become so numb?
You know what I mean...those people begging at street corners, or going through your rubbish bags outside...that leave most people with a bad taste in their mouths because they just waist your precious time, they invade your personal space. How can you feel that way?
Are they not also Gods' children, you don't know their story so do not judge or look down at them. Rather reach out a hand and help them up. Take 5 minutes to bless someone with a warm meal or blanket.
The bible teaches us that God said, "I asked you for something to eat and you refused me, I asked you for something to drink and you refused me," but we so sweetly forget that God never forsakes us.
This is the season of love, goodwill and blessings. It is our Heavenly Fathers birthday. So I challenge those who dare to change the meaning of Christmas in their lives. Change it to giving to those in need, rather than giving to those that are not in need but rather in wanting!
I trust that this season will be blessed and safe for all.
So, after weeks of feeling uncertain, crying, screaming in fear and anger, feeling lost and in a very dark place, I had no other choice than to stop my studies. I never realized I was so lost and in danger of total collapse until it finally happened to me. After a year of emotional ups and downs, and not dealing with it all like I should have, it broke me.
So, now I had to stop my studies, and I was told by my doctor to take some medication to help me relax and deal with the loss I had experienced and to go and see someone to face everything. I was so upset and apprehensive, because I thought I was a nurse I know how to deal with loss and grieve, keep busy and focus on something else... boy was I an Idiot.
With loss the whole game changes for us, it steals from us time and joy...and when we try and cope on our own, we die a little bit every day inside, without knowing it. When we finally look up from our dark little corner of life we realize we are all alone, not because our loved ones don't want to be around us, but because we isolated ourselves so much we didn't give them a choice.
But. . .
Now I am starting to feel like a human being again, slowly breathing a little bit better, and starting over in a new place, away from the memories of the past. And every day, living more and more. Now when I think about him I see his beautiful smile, his ginger hair and sexy dimples, his beautiful blue eyes. I hear his laugh again, everyday a little bit clearer...I feel his hand touching mine. And I feel reassured that he is still with me and watching over me.
And the most incredible thing happened to me...I found out just how strong I really am, and that realization brought about such a change in me. I believe more, I trust again, I laugh again until I cry from joy and not hurt. I dance around my room in my undies to my favorite songs and sing at the top of my lungs...why....because I am alive and I am fearfully and wonderfully made by my Heavenly Father.
So, now I look life square in the eye and smile because I know where my strength comes from and that an amazing future is just around the corner...and that Cape Town, my new home is waiting for me...
So I say BOOOOOOOYAAAAAAAI MADE IT!!!
A new strong and sexy woman
The opposite of the hard shell of armor you keep around yourself is the love and protection and companionship of your fellow students who need friends as much as you do.
Need to make some friends in nursing school? Admit defeat.
I was so closed off in the beginning of my nursing school training, especially about inner struggles on time management, procrastination, and life intervening in my OCD-laid plans. The stress of nursing school has worn me down though. And I realized that I have to change my way or I will burn out.
I'm way more OK now with being less than perfect and I would advise everyone to give it a try sometimes. You don't always have to be the best at what it is you do.
This semester especially I have found myself admitting what felt like defeat that proved to be something else. I had isolated myself so much that I had stopped to see the fun that I could have with fellow student, and how we could be helping each other out, rather than avoiding each other.
You are not a bad student. The stress is real for everyone, so-called "good" students and otherwise. Forget labels. There is actually someone feeling what you are feeling at this halfway point in the semester, who might even be going through much more than you are.
Making friends in nursing takes vulnerability. A moment of truth where you admit that you cannot do everything yourself, and you need help. You cannot nurse patients but life like a recluse. We as nurses tend to want to just shut ourselves up in a quiet room after a hectic day just to have 10 seconds of peace and quiet, we don't want to hear people complain, etc. But the fact is we are human and we are social creatures, so we have to find the golden midway between being the nurse and the friend, and that not every conversation in normal people lingo revolves around medicine...nudge nudge wink wink... yeah, you know what I mean.
Be vulnerable. Find friends. Sigh out loud and you may never know what comes of it. And who knows you might learn something new about someone else.
One time, I was lucky enough to have an afternoon to myself, without tests or tasks. I decided I would go out, have a long walk, get myself a book and settle down in a café to enjoy a good read and a bit of people watching.
I'm at the counter ordering my coffee when one of the ladies who works there spots me and tries desperately to get my attention. She beckons me over to a secluded corner and tells me she's so glad I came in; she wants my advice about "a lady problem."
Being a student nurse isn't just about learning and providing advice and education, it's also about undertaking different roles to different people.
I have found that one of the most difficult but rewarding roles is listening. When I'm on the wards patients seem willing to reveal concerns to me that have never previously been mentioned.
Sometimes I feel like a sponge as I absorb all these things. I have come home some days and sobbed with the weight of some of the secrets that have been shared with me.
Every now and then, I find it a real struggle balancing all these different roles. Sometimes I feel like I'm being suffocated with the pressure of placement, home life, college life, being a young adult and hanging out with friends.
Occasionally, and I know this is incredibly selfish, I wish I didn't have all these responsibilities.
It gets overwhelming with people relying on me to do the housework, go to gym, go to church, write a good essay, read more journals/books or fill in massive loads of paperwork for lecturers or mentors to mark.
I feel like I don't have time for my friends anymore as I'm always busy, on placement, tasks or tests. In fact I barely have time for ME anymore.
But then I remember why I love what I do, when I look at my patients and see the love and appreciation they have for having someone that just listens, I know that all of this and all the sacrifice is well worth it. And then I press on for another day or being everything I was born to be.
The last couple of months I have been struggling to find my purpose in life. Did I choose right and all those sorts of questions. And lately after two bad test results, I felt like such a failure at life I should just give it up. I am not good enough. But nursing is my dream, and all I want to do is be the best at what I do. My whole life has led up to this phase of my existence.
So I have decided to carry on, to push on and work harder. Do I stop feeling sorry for myself and lift my head high and start to believe in the gift that God had given me, to be able to touch and love people unconditionally?
Albert Einstein said:" You have to learn the rules of the game. And then play it better than anyone else." Harsh words to some, but when you look at it, it is so true.
In life when we love and believe something, we have to take all the challenges that go along with wanting success.
One of the most inspirational people in my life, my mother Christa Coetzee, said to me this week that I was her pride, that she loved me and what I have accomplished in my life up until now and that she knows that I can and will be successful.
All I have to do is give everything to God so that he can lead me and give me the strength to carry on. She has always pushed me to break my boundaries. She allowed me to fly high and has always been my safety net and warm blanket of unconditional love in my life. I will always be grateful to having such an inspirational mother and best friend in my life.
I realized last week that I am stronger than I thought I was, I have the courage and conviction to achieve my God-given dream.
I am a strong, independent, powerful and blessed woman of God and through my nursing I have the opportunity to live an exceptional life.
So I choose life, I choose my passion, I choose to be stronger than ever and to finish my dream
Like Patch Adams said, "The most radical act anyone can commit is to be happy."
Lately I have been wondering just that. Am I where I am supposed to be? Why did certain things have to happen to me? Have I listened enough and made the right decisions? Did I do enough in my life? Strange questions I know, but I have realized in the last year that life is so fleeting. We aren't assured that tomorrow will come, or that we will have a long and happy life. In the blink of an eye, your whole life can change.
A year ago I thought that life couldn't be sweeter or happier for me. I had finally found my Mr. Right. But in less than a month my whole world came crashing down, and changed irrevocably. Everything I believed, dreamed about and wanted so badly was taken away from me because of a choice that was basically made for me.
I am a nursing student, I know how to treat people that have gone through suicides, but now I am in this boat and I have absolutely no idea how to handle this. I keep myself busy, I don't think about it, or at least try not to, I fill my days completely, that assures me that I am too tired at night to think, but the problem now, I fear, is that I have come to a point where I am so exhausted, sleep has become a luxury, and when I do sleep, I dream.... Dream about love lost, life lost.
The closer it comes to the year anniversary, however strange that sounds, to his passing, my head and my heart ache, and all I want to do is run away...so far away that I don't feel anything anymore.
Being a nurse I know that there are stages of grieve that I have to go through, but being who I am, I keep actively avoiding that, by giving all my love and all my attention to my patients. I feed of their gratitude and their joy, just to get through every day.
How are we supposed to, as nurses deal with our own pain and hurt, and still attend to the pain and hurt of those around us, without letting our emotions influence how we react and feel???
I wish I had a magic genie to just poof away what I had to go through and still am going through. I wish I could see my future and know that I will eventually start to feel like a whole person again. Because now I feel like a ghost living a half-life, a fake life.
And this make me wonder how many other nurses face this same pain and hurt, but as we are taught, we smile our way through it all. Always gracious, kind, warm and professional, never letting our smile fade or our emotions show.
I am a nurse, I will always be smiling if you see me...even though every cell in my body is hurting. I just pray that one day, I will look back on this and smile, knowing that I had made it.
Being in nursing college is really teaching me, not only valuable professional skills, but also, life skills. As I am going through my general nursing work, I am realizing what is expected of us, what rules we must adhere to, what the government expects from us as nurses. But are we actually practicing the one fundamental rule or right that all these legal instructions tell us to do?
Do we as nurses stand up for and fight for the human rights of all our patients?
In South Africa's Bill of Rights, it states that people have the basic rights to housing, nutrition, health care, education, protection, and safe living environments. Elderly people have the right to government assisted care in their old age. Children have the right to be protected, have basic education and nutrition; all have the right to Government Social assistance.
What an overly Utopian idea.
The more I study the Bill of Rights, the more I realize that we as nurses try our best to assist and protect, stand up for and defend our patients basic rights, but most times we do this with limited resources, difficult situations, and no assistance from the government. No wonder so many nurses just give up. Just do the bare minimum of what is expected of them, it seems easier than fighting a losing battle.
With it recently being Youth Month and Elderly Abuse Week, I struggle with the fact that the government is throwing lavish functions for youth, and shaking hands with the poor and elderly. Where are they the rest of the year when these same people need their assistance?
It is horrible to see elderly persons standing on street corners, begging for food and assistance, working to just survive. And to see people just look away, turn up their windows, blocking out the person, the human being, standing in front of them. What dignity do they have? What happened to their rights as stated in the South African Bill of Rights.
It is heartbreaking to see children begging for food, with glassy blank expressions on their little faces. Gone is the innocent child in them, and in its stead is a "walking dead" person, high to forget life and what it has dealt them. What defense has a small child have against the hatred of the world, the abuse they have to face daily, the hunger they must feel, the rejection from people. What dignity do they have? Where are their rights stated in the South African Bill of Rights?
The Father of our Nation, Mr. Nelson Mandela said this about the way we treat each other, but more importantly how we treat children:
No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite. - Long Walk to Freedom
The true character of a society is revealed in how it treats its children.
It always gives me great pleasure to be surrounded by the beautiful children of our land. Whenever I am with the energetic young people ... I feel like a recharged battery, confident that our country can look forward to great things. South Africa, April 23, 1997
Together as a nation, we have the obligation to put sunshine into the hearts of our little ones. They are our precious possessions. They deserve what happiness life can offer.
I am proud to be a nurse, taking care of all children, no matter what race, gender or skin color they have. We all bleed the same way.
I salute all the Nurses out there fighting the good fight for their patients. "UNkulunkulu osindisa futhi avikele abahlengikazi" God save and protect nurses.
Okay let me start by saying; "I have new found respect for Registered Sisters."
I have started my first official block period at college, and okay I knew it wasn't going to be a walk in the park to do this Bridging Course, but I did not think it would be this overwhelming, either. I don't know if it is the fear of the unknown; or the fact that I am actually on my way to one day-not so far away- being a Registered Nurse, having to take full accountability for all my acts and omissions and that of my team working with me.
I never fully understood why Sisters are always running around, always busy, looking sometimes tired, but never once do they look stressed, disheveled or unnerved. They always have this serenity surrounding them in chaos...and I truly admire that. I believe it is a God-sent talent, because if I look at all the responsibility resting on the shoulders of a registered nurse, I doubt if I would be that serenely calm...
But then again it is probably something that you learn through experience and time. In my first month I have learned to always be accountable, respectful, empathetic, loyal, diligent, and above all humane in all your actions towards the patient, who is a human being, a whole person...not just symptoms and tasks to be nursed.
I have learned that we are not only governed by our own ethical and moral values, but we have to adhere to those of the Nursing Council and The Constitutional Law and the principles of your employer. There are so many rules, regulations and legislations that determine what a nurse has to do, it feels like nursing could be presumed as task orientated more than people orientated.
But on the other hand if it wasn't for all these regulations and legislation, nursing would have no clear and fundamental structure and things would probably be a lot more messy. So not all rules are so bad I guess.
We must never forget, though, to nurse the person first and the condition/illness second. Human interaction is a gift not to be squandered or lost. I praise and salute all the Registered Sisters and everything they accomplish. To me, you are all Super Women...
A future RN

One-on-one mentoring relationships show positive outcomes for nursing students
Being a student has its benefits and struggles. You are and will be until you graduate, a "work horse" to the people you work with. Not everyone will treat you this way, but you do get those people who, because they were treated a certain way when they studied, automatically assume it is their right to bestow the same courtesy too you as a student nurse. You have to learn to control your emotions and leave your "backstage" personality at home-you know the one, where if they give you a hard time, you automatically just want to jump on your hind legs and give it to them straight!
One very sweet, and very wise nurse taught me a very crucial lesson in being a nurse: "Always remember that we are all the same, we all were students, but it is WHY you started nursing that defines WHO you will be in the future as a nurse!"
Those words will never leave my head or my heart. You have to have a reason why you chose this path in life. If you did it because you thought it would be easy-STOP RIGHT NOW-because it isn't. If you did it to meet hot, young doctors-STOP RIGHT NOW- because they are too busy, and might already have a loving person in their life.
If you chose this to make easy money for doing little work-STOP RIGHT NOW-because nurses will never be rich in money. We will be rich in love, faith, compassion, patience and endurance!
If you are willing to face trying and sometimes heartbreaking situations, heartwarming and unbelievable miracles, long hours in front of your books, and long hours at work, then the world of human interaction and nursing care is for you.
I truly and deeply believe that no one chooses to be a nurse; you are born to be a nurse. It is a part of who you are, how you love and believe. It is a heart journey, not a hard journey to be a nurse.
I love being a nursing student, dreaming of one day being a registered nurse and changing the world one patient at a time. Every day I get to meet and touch the life of a patient, gives me strength, makes me brave, and keeps me humble.
With each posting session that comes and goes on this blog I am able to see my progress while I reflect on the passing weeks. Last post I discussed that I was nearly designated as a post-op recovery open heart nurse. So much has happened since that posting three weeks ago and I feel as though I have grown up as a nurse and as a person. After writing that post, my next shift I was given the task of taking a fresh post-op heart without a designated preceptor and the patient was not doing well. I arrived at work to find my name assigned to the heart and was explained that unfortunately I would not be given my last orientation session. At that point it was sink or swim. The patient had been taken back to surgery after bleeding too much when originally arriving in ICU. I came to find that the patient had been in surgery for over 12 hours in total. Needless to say it was one of the most challenging nights I have ever had as a nurse and as a human being. Myself and my charge nurse did everything we could to help the patient through the night, but at a certain point we knew what would be their fate. It was devastating to see the family struggle through the situation. There seemed to be not one moment where I had time to breathe. After that night I became a different nurse and a different person. I know now from that experience that I can handle anything that is thrown at me. Since then I have had 2 other post-op hearts on my own and tonight will be my third. By no means am I a veteran but I think you have to be humbled by one experience to grown. Sometimes you give your all and you can't save that person. I understand that now.
About a week ago I had been talking with a friend about writing this blog. I started way back in nursing school and now have written an estimated 30 to 40 posts. After talking with this friend I looked back through my archives and read a few of my old entries. It is absolutely crazy how time changes you based on experience. After my first semester in nursing school I was nervous doing nearly anything nursing related. I remember those feelings like they were yesterday. I could not escape the anxiety!
Now at 24 years old (25 in November) I have so much to think about in my future. In March I will have two years of work experience. Although I am not thrilled about it, I'm sure I will start to train as charge around that time since our night crew continues to cycle through. As much as I enjoy the thinking that goes into the ICU, I know I don't want to do bedside nursing care forever and the idea of management makes me sick. That leaves me with two options that I will have to think a great deal about as time goes on: NP or CRNA.
The recent grilling of Dr. Oz in front of the US Congress sparked great debate. It was important reminder for all healthcare providers: Practice what you preach. As a nurse, you have more than just a professional license. You have signed an oath to practice healthcare safely, responsibly and effectively. You have signed on to be a lifelong supporter of science, evidence and progress. And, most importantly, you have volunteered yourself to be an example of wellness and health. Dr. Oz does not take the supplements he so adamantly recommends on his popular show. He supports miracle cures and magical solutions for obesity (one of the most prevalent and emotive public health concerns today). Health does not come in pill form nor does it appear overnight. It is our job as nurses to help people find their optimum wellness in the only way that works: through self-discipline, support, compassion, patience, knowledge and acceptance. This, we all know, is a lifelong journey. It is our job to help facilitate the ride.

Elvis Clipboard
here to make this for our VP last year at work. She's a little bit of a fan. My teaching partner and I bought a book about Elvis on half price books, and then we put our scissors to work. We used some glitter gold spray paint to give the top clip the appropriate treatment for the king. Pasted the pictures down, and mod podged over them.

Saudi team gets Uganda's Little League WS berth
SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa.
— A youth baseball team from Saudi Arabia received a berth to the Little League World Series after a squad from Uganda was denied visas because of discrepancies over players' ages and birth dates.
The Little League World Series made the announcement on Tuesday.
The Arabian-American team from Dhahran had lost last month to the Rev. John Foundation team from Kampala, which won the Little League's Middle East and Africa region and advanced to the World Series in South Williamsport, Pa.
But the State Department last week said some visa applications for Ugandan players included birth records altered to make players appear younger. Youth ages 11 or 12 as of April 30 can play in the World Series, which begins Aug. 18.
Indians' Carrasco suspended 6 games
— Cleveland Indians pitcher Carlos Carrasco has been suspended six games and fined for throwing at Kansas City's Billy Butler.
Carrasco was ejected in the fourth inning of Friday night's game after he threw a ball at Butler's head. Carrasco had just given up a grand slam to Melky Cabrera and took out his frustration on Butler, who managed to avoid the rising fastball.
The Indians said Monday that Carrasco will appeal his suspension and undisclosed fine and plans to start Wednesday night in Boston.
"It's standard when that happens. He's appealing and he's going to be able to pitch here," Cleveland manager Manny Acta said at Fenway Park before his team's scheduled game against the Red Sox.
Carrasco said he was upset that Cabrera stood at home plate and admired his homer, but denied the pitch to Butler was intentional.
Bedard scheduled to start for Red Sox on Thursday
— Boston Red Sox manager Terry Francona said Monday that recently acquired left-hander Erik Bedard is scheduled to start Thursday's series finale against Cleveland.
Bedard, traded from Seattle to Boston in a three-team deal just before the non-waiver trade deadline Sunday, is expected to join the Red Sox on Tuesday.
In a pair of moves on Sunday, Boston first sent minor league right-handers Stephen Fife and Juan Rodriguez and catcher Tim Federowicz to the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for outfielder Trayvon Robinson. The Red Sox then traded Robinson to the Mariners with Double-A outfielder Chih-Hsien Chiang for Bedard and Josh Fields.
Boston had to bolster its starting pitching depth with right-hander Clay Buchholz sidelined with a back injury. The club already lost right-hander Daisuke Matsuzaka for the season after he had Tommy John surgery in early June.
Francona said Buchholz saw specialist Dr. Robert Watkins in Los Angeles today, but the team's medical personnel still need to go over the results.
Various media reports have Buchholz possibly lost for the season with a stress fracture in his back.
"Now we need to let Dr. Watkins talk to the medical people and Theo (general manager, Epstein)," Francona said. "We'll have an update tomorrow or maybe later tonight."
Boston had acquired right-hander Rich Harden from Oakland last Saturday night, but the deal fell through when the Red Sox reviewed his medical records.

Lee, Ludwick to debut for Pirates
— The Pittsburgh Pirates aren't wasting much time to see what their new acquisitions can do.
First baseman Derrek Lee and outfielder Ryan Ludwick will debut for the Pirates on Monday night against the Chicago Cubs. Both players joined the team just before the trade deadline as surprising Pittsburgh bolstered its lineup in an effort to stay in contention in the NL Central.
The Pirates cleared a spot on the roster by designating veteran first baseman Lyle Overbay for assignment. Overbay struggled to make an impact with Pittsburgh, batting .227 with eight home runs and 37 RBIs.
Lee batted .246 with 12 home runs and 41 RBIs with Baltimore before being traded, while Ludwick hit .238 with 11 homers for San Diego.
A's owner Lew Wolff calls for sale of Dodgers
OAKLAND, Calif.
— Oakland Athletics owner Lew Wolff is hopeful that Frank McCourt will soon sell the financially troubled Los Angeles Dodgers so baseball can move forward from the sticky situation.
Wolff, a successful retail developer based in L.A., told The Associated Press on Monday he spoke out publicly on the topic in support of Commissioner Bud Selig, a longtime friend and former fraternity brother at Wisconsin. Wolff first discussed his thoughts in an interview with the Los Angeles Times.
"For the good of baseball, I sense that all of us would like to get the Dodger situation behind us for everybody's benefit," Wolff said in a phone interview with the AP on Monday. "I was prompted to do this because of the attorney accusing Bud Selig of taking more money. Bud has been a friend of mine for 50 years. It's just not fair. I was just upset."
The Dodgers filed for bankruptcy protection in June, about two months after Major League Baseball assumed control of the club's day-to-day operations. McCourt blamed a cash-flow crisis on MLB's refusal to approve a multibillion-dollar TV deal McCourt was counting on to keep the franchise afloat.
Selig expressed concern about McCourt using that money toward his "personal needs" in the wake of losing control of the team and the owner's bitter divorce from Jamie McCourt.
Attorneys for McCourt have argued that Selig himself has taken money out of MLB.
"For anyone to seek to diminish Bud's accomplishments in order to rationalize their own actions is, in my opinion, ludicrous and hugely disingenuous," Wolff told the Times. "My hope is that the Dodgers will be sold to a party that will restart this great franchise, and that Frank and his family will benefit from a positive sale. But to try and equate or compare what Bud Selig has done with the administration of the current Dodger franchise is unsupportable."
Wolff said Monday he didn't want to "go any further than I did in that."
"They're in court. It will get settled," Wolff said. "Bud's done so much for baseball. I feel very strongly that he's the best commissioner in the history of baseball."
Wolff is still waiting for Selig to tell him whether he can go ahead with his proposal to move the A's from Oakland into Santa Clara County even though the San Francisco Giants hold the territorial rights in technology-rich Silicon Valley.
Selig appointed a committee in March 2009 to evaluate the issue facing the Bay Area teams, yet he has provided no timetable for when he might announce a decision.
A's owner Lew Wolff calls for sale of Dodgers
OAKLAND, Calif.
— Oakland Athletics owner Lew Wolff hopes Frank McCourt will soon sell the financially troubled Los Angeles Dodgers so baseball can move forward from the sticky situation.
Wolff, a successful retail developer based in L.A., tells The Associated Press he spoke out publicly on the topic in support of Commissioner Bud Selig, a longtime friend. Wolff first discussed the situation in an interview with the Los Angeles Times.
The Dodgers filed for bankruptcy protection in June, about two months after Major League Baseball assumed control of the club's day-to-day operations. McCourt blamed a cash-flow crisis on MLB's refusal to approve a multibillion-dollar TV deal McCourt was counting on to keep the franchise afloat.
Small-market teams turn buyers at trade deadline
— Michael Bourn went from the bottom of the NL Central in Houston to the top of the wild-card standings with Atlanta — and he wasn't the only player who suddenly found himself in a pennant race.
Ubaldo Jimenez, Erik Bedard, Rafael Furcal and Mike Adams were also on the move at the end of a topsy-turvy weekend, when the surprising Indians, Pirates and Diamondbacks made some of the boldest moves at baseball's trade deadline, shedding those longtime seller tags and shopping for immediate help.
All in all, it was a relatively quiet deadline day as the non-waiver cutoff came and went Sunday. The biggest deals came days earlier when All-Star outfielders Carlos Beltran and Hunter Pence changed teams.
Among the big names staying put after weeks of speculation: Padres closer Heath Bell, Tampa Bay outfielder B.J. Upton and Astros lefty Wandy Rodriguez.
And standing pat — unusually — were the New York Yankees, content to try and catch Boston in the AL East with a rotation that has reclamation projects Bartolo Colon and Freddy Garcia at the back end.
"I'm very confident with the position I've taken," Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said. "It's not like I'm blowing smoke, trying to promote our guys. … No, I believe in our guys."
Just 2 1/2 games back of Detroit in the AL Central, the Indians completed their Saturday night deal with Colorado for Jimenez about a half-hour before the 4 p.m. EDT deadline. Until then, they were waiting for results of the pitcher's physical.
"This was a rare and unique opportunity, especially in our market, which comes along few and far between," Cleveland general manager Chris Antonetti said.
The Indians don't seem concerned about recent reports that Jimenez, who was 19-8 and an All-Star a year ago, has seen his velocity drop and his ERA rise this year. He is 6-9 with a 4.46 ERA in 21 starts. He had a 2.88 ERA in 2010.
They paid a hefty price for the right-hander who spent much of April on the DL, giving up minor league pitchers Alex White and Joe Gardner, first baseman Matt McBride and a player to be named, expected to be lefty Drew Pomeranz.
White and Pomeranz were considered the top two pitching prospects in Cleveland's organization.
"It was painful for us," Antonetti said, "but we decided the time was right. We're a better team than we were."
Division-rival Detroit made a move, too, getting right-hander Doug Fister from Seattle on Saturday and will add him to the rotation. The Tigers also received reliever David Pauley for two prospects and a player to be named.
After a record 18 straight losing seasons, the Pirates are in the thick of it in the NL Central race, and they showed they're serious in dealing for San Diego outfielder Ryan Ludwick — a day after acquiring Baltimore first baseman Derrek Lee.
The Diamondbacks bolstered their bullpen, adding Oakland submariner Brad Ziegler as they chase the World Series champion Giants in the NL West. On Saturday, Arizona obtained Jason Marquis from the Nationals.
"We're trying to get better and trying to make the bullpen better," Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said. "I think you're seeing an effort by the organization to try and let us continue to do what we've done and go beyond what we've done. So that part of it energizes you."
In other deals Sunday:
_ The AL East-leading Red Sox picked up Bedard after a deal for Rich Harden fell through late Saturday. Six prospects were involved in a three-team, seven-player trade involving the Los Angeles Dodgers.
_ The St. Louis Cardinals acquired Furcal, a two-time All-Star shortstop, from the Dodgers for Double-A outfielder Alex Castellanos.
_ Texas further bolstered its bullpen a day after adding Baltimore right-hander Koji Uehara by dealing for Adams, San Diego's stellar setup man.
Adams, who was 3-1 with a 1.13 ERA in 48 games for the Padres, will be under Texas' control through next season. The Padres received minor league pitchers Robbie Erlin and Joe Wieland.
_ Atlanta made a move to keep up with the NL East-leading Phillies, getting Bourn from the Astros, who also sent Pence to Philadelphia on Friday night.
Bourn, a two-time Gold Glove winner, is hitting .303 and leads the majors with 39 stolen bases. He goes from the last-place Astros to a playoff-contending team that has one of baseball's best pitching staffs.
"I'm excited," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "He makes the defense do things they don't want to do. Pitchers are going to throw pitches they don't want to throw."
The Astros received outfielder Jordan Schafer and three minor league pitchers, but the Braves didn't give up any of their top prospects.
"We did not go to the mat to get Pence," Atlanta general manager Frank Wren said. "If we had gone to the mat for Pence, we would have gotten him."
Earlier this week, the Giants acquired Beltran from the Mets and Orlando Cabrera from the Indians; Toronto traded for St. Louis center fielder Colby Rasmus in a three-team deal that sent former White Sox pitcher Edwin Jackson to the Cardinals; the Brewers landed utility man Jerry Hairston Jr. from Washington; Detroit got infielder Wilson Betemit from the Royals; and Boston added Mike Aviles from Kansas City for infield depth.
Teams can still make trades for the rest of the season, but it becomes more complicated. Players must first pass through waivers, meaning any club gets an opportunity to claim them before a deal is done.
Trades must be completed before Aug. 31 for a player to be eligible for the postseason with his new team.
Yanks eye trade market, decide to hold steady
— Freddy Garcia and Bartolo Colon have made life hard on the AL East, and easy for Brian Cashman.
The Yankees general manager decided he liked the hand he held and passed on the chance to add to New York's roster Sunday at the non-waiver trade deadline.
"I'm very confident with the position I've taken," Cashman said after the 34-year-old Garcia pitched the Yankees past the Baltimore Orioles 4-2. "It's not like I'm blowing smoke, trying to promote our guys.
"No, I believe in our guys," he added.
The two starting pitchers have combined for 18 wins and both have solid ERAs. Neither seemed likely to be a front-line starter when signed as a free agent in the offseason, long removed from their heydays in the early 2000s.
But here it is, 2011, and they are New York's second- and third-best starters.
Good enough to keep the Yankees, who certainly have no reticence about adding any piece they think they need, quiet at the deadline.
Colon, now 38, was even once the coveted star in a deadline deal, when Cleveland shipped him to Montreal for a horde of prospects a year after he and Garcia faced off twice in the 2001 AL division series between the Indians and Mariners.
Now, 10 years later, those two are the reason the Yankees didn't feel the need to give up any of their prized prospects.
"When you look at their body of work, it's been excellent," manager Joe Girardi said. "They have an ERA in the low 3s in the American League East, and that's hard to do."
After Sunday's games, New York was two games behind Boston in the division, and comfortably in command of the wild-card race, 6 1/2 up on the Los Angeles Angels. Statistics website Baseball Prospectus assesses the Yankees as having about a 3 percent chance of missing the postseason.
Cashman said he spoke with every other team about adding players. He didn't get any attractive offers.
It appeared the top two starting pitchers on the trade market in July were Colorado's Ubaldo Jimenez and Houston's Wandy Rodriguez. Jimenez went to the Indians for two top-level pitching prospects and two other minor leaguers, and the Astros never managed to deal Rodriguez.
Neither pitcher would have clearly been a big enough upgrade for Cashman to risk a swap.
After CC Sabathia, Colon, and Garcia, the Yankees can send A.J. Burnett (8-9, 4.23 ERA) and Ivan Nova (9-4, 4.01) to the mound.
Behind those five, Phil Hughes has been inconsistent as he returns to full health following shoulder issues.
"We've had some surprises that have come out of nowhere for us," Cashman said. "I look forward to racing down the Red Sox and catching them and passing them."
The Yankees also have left-hander Manny Banuelos and righty Adam Warren at Triple-A. Cashman indicated either or both could still have a role to play on the big club this season. Banuelos, especially, seems likely, though he was only promoted from Double-A on Sunday. The Yankees have just one left-hander in their bullpen, and Boone Logan has had some rough outings this season.
Cashman also didn't rule out making some additions in August, when players must clear waivers before being traded.
"It's nice to have those guys down below, pushing themselves, as an insurance policy," Cashman said.
Much better, the Yankees think, than having those guys on someone else's roster.
"I mean, who are we going to trade for?" outfielder Brett Gardner said. "Freddy and Bartolo were two great pickups in the offseason, and both of those guys have been tremendous. I think we're right where we want to be at."
D-backs acquire Ziegler from A's
OAKLAND, Calif.
— The Arizona Diamondbacks acquired right-handed reliever Brad Ziegler from the Oakland Athletics on Sunday for a pair of young players, boosting their bullpen for a playoff push.
The 31-year-old Ziegler is 3-2 with a 2.39 ERA and one save in 43 appearances and 37 2-3 innings. He will join an Arizona team hoping to challenge the World Series champion Giants in the NL West race. The surprising Diamondbacks entered Sunday three games behind San Francisco.
"We're trying to get better and trying to make the bullpen better," manager Kirk Gibson before the Diamondbacks played the Dodgers in Los Angeles. "I think you're seeing an effort by the organization to try and let us continue to do what we've done and go beyond what we've done. So that part of it energizes you."
Diamondbacks general manager Kevin Towers made revamping Arizona's bullpen, the worst in baseball last season, a priority when he was hired in September. Their relievers entered Sunday with a cumulative 3.46 ERA since the All-Star break.
The acquisition of Ziegler was the second big move by Arizona leading up to the 4 p.m. EDT non-waiver trade deadline Sunday. They got starter Jason Marquis from Washington on Saturday.
"We all know that K.T. is a guy who's aggressive, but aggressively smart, and he just proved that," closer J.J. Putz said. "It says that we expect to keep doing what we're doing."
The Athletics, who received left-hander Jordan Norberto and first baseman Brandon Allen from Arizona. Norberto will join Oakland, while Allen is headed to Triple-A Sacramento.
Parting with Allen was difficult for Gibson — and not because the trade left him without a backup first baseman on Sunday.
"Brandon's a quality guy," Gibson said. "I'll always have a good affection for Brandon, the way he approached his job. He's a tough kid, a good kid and a hard worker. We wish him we'll, and he'll do well. He'll be around a long time."
A's general manager Billy Beane had been close to sending right-handed starter Rich Harden to the Boston Red Sox but that fell through late Saturday.
"We had talks. We were close to consummating the deal," Beane said after Sunday's 7-3 win over Minnesota while declining to go into further detail.
Ziegler, the lanky right-hander with the sidearm delivery that has done him well so far, tied the major league mark for relievers by pitching 39 straight shutout innings to start his career in 2008.
The 6-foot-4 Ziegler is durable. He's made 223 appearances in four years and has never been on the disabled list.
"I'm thankful to the A's for the opportunity they gave me, but I'm really excited to be moving to a team in a pennant race. Every player's dream is to win a World Series title and I hope I can help Arizona accomplish that," Ziegler told the AP in a text message.
Ziegler received a $1.25 million, one-year contract in January to salary arbitration. He was part of an A's pitching staff that last year led the AL in ERA (3.56) and shutouts (17) while holding opponents to a .245 batting average.
"He'll definitely help the bullpen," Putz said. "He's a guy that can pitch in many different situations, and he kills righties. He just gives Gibby another weapon to mix and match to get to David (Hernandez) and myself, so it's a good move."
The 25-year-old Allen batted .306 with 18 homers and 66 RBIs for Triple-A Reno. Three of his five hits in 11 games with the Diamondbacks this season are homers, one of which traveled an estimated 455 feet on July 19 at Chase Field against Milwaukee. But he's hitting only .172, and struck out his final two times up with the Diamondbacks in Saturday's 6-4 win.
"It's the deadline, so there was a lot of talking going around. But I hadn't heard anything about myself, so it's a little shocking," Allen said. "I had a good opportunity here, and hopefully I can take advantage if I can get an opportunity over there and do well. The only way to look at it is that somebody wants you and appreciates what you can offer."
Norberto, 24, appeared in 33 games with the Diamondbacks last season and was 0-2 with a 5.85 ERA. He is 6-2 with a 4.25 ERA and one save for Reno this year.

A family favorite! Homemade pizza rolls for a new spin on pizza night! We love pizza at our house. Sure sometimes it's just easier to order pizza in. We only have one place that will deliver to our house, a little pizza joint you may have heard of….. it rhymes with Prominose. It's the only food we can get delivered, so we've grown very tired of their pizza and it get's expensive. As much as I love to bake, I don't always enjoy cooking.…..yet my family continues to ask "What's for dinner" EVERY. SINGLE. NIGHT! geeze…..didn't I just feed them LAST night?! So I must come up with something they will like/eat and something I don't mind making. Homemade pizza is usually a hit with everyone!! We've grilled pizza made garlic chicken pizza, even made these calzones with pizza sauce and toppings. I'm always looking for ways to change it up so it doesn't always feel like "pizza again". I haven't experimented with making our own crust yet……..that's next on my list. These homemade pizza rolls have now become one of our favorites! They were even tasty the next day leftover and cold! *you can make this with what ever toppings your family likes.

- garlic salt

Those look so delicious! This would make a great hot afternoon snack, too, especially as we head into the cooler weather. Thanks for sharing! ~Kim
I bet Max will love these, just wanna make sure I got it right though. The sauce is just for dipping… you don't put it in the actual roll… correct???
yes Kelly, the sauce is for dipping. My family thought it sounded weird with no sauce inside, so we made a few with sauce…….and we all agreed, much better with sauce for dipping.
That is great. My daughter doesn't like sauce on her pizzas so this is going to be a winner with her. Making them tonight!!!
Wow I feel you pain on the pizza department. But this is a really good idea. I am going to try it soon.=)
Thanks! I am always looking for something fun and easy to make for Friday nights when I seem to somehow have twice as many kids in my house than I actually am the mother of! Keep posting your yummy recipes, girl! <3
Whew that looks good. We believe pizza is a food group at my house. I am totally trying this.
we love love love these!
My kids are NOT sauce fans ( I KNOW!!! ) So, for them.. I brush with garlic butter and then add the pepperoni. They love them and will sometimes dip them in ranch.
I add crushed red pepper flakes to mine and hubby's.
LOVE and your pics are gorgeous, as always!
Greg will LOVE these!
I may have to surprise him and make them!
And is that pizza dough in a can like Pillsbury or something?
I know your family has a SUPER fun time cooking and eating together!
Hi Tidymom, tnx for sharing this quick and easy recipe with us. I bake pizza a lot because we love to put on various toppings. Toppings depend on season, but now we usually have peppers, aubergines, tomatoes etc. The constant ingredients are: meat, cheese, olive oil and Parmesan. And we never omit dried herbs as: basil, thyme, oregano etc. I found quick and easy recipe for pizza dough and use it every time. It contains olive oil which gives it nice texture and taste. This roll is new idea for me and I will probably make it very soon…
Yum. My kids love finger foods. This looks so good.
Our favorite pizza is , breakfast pizza.
Thanks for the recipe.
What a fun twist to pizza! And perfect for a quick & tasty weeknight meal. My family loves homemade pizza night – we make the pizzas in the oven or on the grill, always mixing up the toppings each time. You said you haven't attempted homemade crust yet – I would love to share with you the recipe my family uses. Great minds must think alike, as I just posted it today! It's very easy to make and tastes great. I'm hitting "print" on your Pizza Rolls – they're now on the menu for later this week!

I was seriously thinking of trying something this–now you've broken the ice, I feel confident I could swing these!
Our favorite pizza topping these days is pesto, chicken, and cheese–so good!

We do make homemade pizza at our house. My absolute fave crust recipe is this one: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Jays-Signature-Pizza-Crust/Detail.aspx
It is enough for one large pizza and I put the last pit into my iron skillet for a deep dish version. 🙂 I would recommend adding some seasonings to the dough or pressing them on top.. perhaps a little extra garlic or parmesan.
As far as toppings, I heart BACON!!! And mushrooms, bell pepper, pineapple, and purple onion.
Now I'm hungry. The only place that delivers to my house rhymes with Joppa Pons.
quick, easy & tasty , sounds like a keeper in the recipe box ! lol thanks for sharing!

Derrick Rose just dropped a bombshell to ESPN The Magzine on, what he refers to as, a rampant use of performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) in the NBA (International Business Times; h/t: Jared Wade).
Rose was asked the following question by ESPN the Magazine, "If 1 equals 'What are PEDs (Performance Enhancing Drugs)'? and 10 equals 'Everybody's Juicing'...How big of an issue is illegal enhancing in your sport?"In response, Rose said, "Seven. It's huge, and I think we need a level playing field, where nobody has that advantage over the next person."
Unfortunately, the IBT post assumes steroids, but as far as I know, this isn't specified by Rose as an abused PED. Anything from human growth hormone to amphetamines to overdoses of natural supplements -- such as DHEA -- can be used to enhance the short-term performance of an athlete. Steve Kerr discussed this at the 2010 MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference (Henry Abbott, TrueHoop).
