Who Am I?
"Who am I"? It's hard to say,
When my role in this household changes by the day.
I'm a granny and a grand 'mom', raising grandkids now for years.
This means I've lots of blessings and, of course, shed many tears.
My youngest daughter just received a motorized wheelchair as a gift!
She'll be able to get into my van, even though it hasn't a lift.
Middle daughter is homeless; she's my houseguest and the kids' mother.
All responsibility is still on me, so I don't know why I bothered.
I'm taxi driver for grandson, who works and is seventeen;
Mentor for granddaughter, who is now age fourteen.
Caregiver for youngest daughter, who just turned thirty-one;
Still raising thirty-six year old middle child; not sure I'll ever be done.
I have one dog, his middle name is "Duh";
He acts like all the rest of us, so I have to wonder "Whaaa?"
I'm blessed to have all these folks living here with me.
Because I'm convinced it'll keep me young – so it's really a blessing, you see.
I'm grand-mom by day, writer by night,
Home school teacher for the kids; I gotta get stuff right.
Gardener, cook, baker, canner – hey, preserve the food!
Entrepreneur, retired massage therapist; LOL, I must be good.
This poem, this ditty
Is meant to sound so pretty;
But my poetry and other written stuff
Will really blow away this fluff.
This page is just me,
My poems, prose, and written work
Will give a better picture, then you'll know that I'm no jerk.

My mother and I were in the parlor when someone knocked on the door. She got up to answer it and I saw a grin on her face. I stood, expecting it to be Thomas, but my stomach fell. Daniel sauntered in, grinning wickedly at me.
"Ah, dear Elvira," he said in a voice that echoed. "How wonderful to see you. Let me tell you, jail was just awful without your presence."
I couldn't speak as I backed away. My mother just stood, watching on with a grin on her face, her eyes flashing with malicious intent. I was confused. Why wasn't she helping me? Why was she letting Daniel approach me in such a way?
Suddenly, I was against the wall and Daniel's face was inches away.
"You're mine, Elvira," he whispered. "You're mine and you always will be. It doesn't matter who you throw yourself onto. I will always be there." His hands were roaming my body. "Always. You will never be free of me."
I gasped and sat up, sweating heavily. I looked around, my chest rising and falling heavily. I was in my bedroom and Bryant was standing next to me, his face terrified. When I realized I was safe, I cried into my hands. He sat beside me and put his arms around me.
"What did you dream?" he asked. "Tell me."
"Oh, it was awful Bryant!" I sobbed. I told him everything and his arm tightened. "He's right! I couldn't even kiss Thomas w-w-without seeing what he did!"
"Shh," he whispered, rubbing my arm and kissing my head. "Calm down, Elly. It was just a nightmare. You're okay. He can't get to you. He's in jail where he belongs."
I hiccupped myself into silence and he kissed the side of my head one last time.
"What time is it?" I asked, rubbing my eyes.
"Nearly noon," he answered. He was looking at me with an expression I couldn't read. "Thomas has come to call with his little sister but I can send them back if you're not up to it."
"No, it's okay," I said immediately. "Just give me some time."
"Of course, dear sister."
I rinsed my face in the bowl of water brought to my bedroom then changed. I left my hair loose today and applied light makeup; anything to hide that I had been crying. I didn't want Thomas to know about my nightmare. He would surely think poorly of me.
When I walked out of my room, I heard Megan giggling. It made me smile as I descended the stairs. My mother was standing by the parlor, a look of disapproval on her face. When she saw me, though, she quickly smiled and kissed my cheek. I smiled back as she walked off.
"Miss Elly!"
A small body collided into my legs and I giggled as Megan threw her arms around me. I hugged her back and looked up. Thomas was sitting on the parlor couch, shaking his head but with a smile on his handsome face. I grinned at him. Seeing his face made me feel better. I sat beside him and he frowned.
"You're shaking," he said. "Are you ill?"
"No," I said quickly and took a few deep breaths as Megan crawled into our laps. "I just had... an unpleasant dream."
He looked as if he wanted to press the subject but then Megan asked a question that turned us both red.
"So when are you getting married?" she asked then giggled at the looks on our faces. "You can come live with me and Tommy! It would be a lot of fun! We could color all day and-"
Thomas cleared his throat. "Actually, Megan, Miss Elvira and I are just...."
He struggled to find the right word as Megan looked at him expectantly. For some reason, I found the situation incredibly humorous. He looked to me, clearly asking for help, but I just blinked at him. His eyes narrowed slightly.
"We are just pursuing," he said finally and she brought her eyebrows together.
"I hate big words," she pouted and he groaned quietly.
I giggled, getting her attention.
"Your brother and I care for each other," I confirmed and her eyes brightened. "We're not quite at marriage yet, though."
"Oh," she said slowly. "So you don't have to worry about the dragon, Tommy!" she said with a grin.
"What dragon?" I asked and looked at Thomas, too. His eyes were downcast. "Hey, Megan. We got some new dolls. Go as Bryant to show you. If he says no, tell him Elly demands it."
She giggled and jumped off my lap. "Okay!"
She disappeared and I turned to Thomas, holding one of his hands. He was covering his eyes. I could tell I shouldn't speak so I waited. I laced our fingers together as the silence stretched onward.
"Her nightmares have come back," he said finally in a thick voice and I bit my lower lip, thinking to mine.
"What dragon was she speaking about?" I whispered and he cleared his throat, running his hand through his hair.
His eyes were moist as he looked at anything other than me.
"I can't think of any other way to explain our parents' death to her," he muttered. "Any other way would make her nightmares worse. I.... She loves fairy tales, you see, and a dragon was the best way. Now, when anything bad happens, she calls it a dragon." He shut his eyes. "I was talking with your brother and she must have heard."
"What were you talking about?" I asked.
His eyes shot open and he looked at me as if he just realized I was there. He bit his lip, looking into my eyes.
"Nothing," he said. "It was just... men stuff." He cleared his throat. "What about you? I can tell you had a nightmare."
I puffed my cheeks out. "Is that why you came? To speak of nightmares?"
"No," he said quickly. "No, I"m sorry. I didn't mean to upset you."
I sighed and moved closer. "You didn't, Thomas. I'm sorry." I put my head on his shoulder. "I shouldn't have said that. I was resting and just had a nightmare about a dragon of my own."
He nodded then put his head on mine. We sat in silence for a while, and he rubbed the back of my hand with his thumb. It calmed me down and I sighed, closing my eyes.
"I have a sunburn from the other day," I said with a giggle.
"I'm sorry," he said and I heard laughter in his voice. "That's unfortunate."
I laughed. "But I did have a lot of fun."
"Good," he said quietly. "I'd like to do something like that again, soon. Perhaps without losing our lunch."
I laughed again and looked at him, my cheek still on his shoulder. He was smiling down at me.
"Why do you look at me that way?" I whispered, confused at the strange look in his eyes.
'There's a trail that Bryant told me about," he said. "Do you like to walk?"
"Yes," I said slowly. "But why do you-"
"We'll go tomorrow," he interrupted and I narrowed my eyes.
"You're keeping a secret from me, Thomas."
He smiled. "Of course I am," he said and I felt offended. He kissed my forehead. "It will ruin the surprise of tomorrow's hike."
"That's not what I'm talking about," I said. "But we will play by your rules for now."
He chuckled and I caressed his cheek. Suddenly, his eyes turned serious.
"I meant what I said," he whispered. "I will help your wounds. And I will keep you safe."
I frowned, sitting up. "There's nothing to keep me safe from," I said.
He smiled. "There will always be something out there, Elvira. But you're safe with me."
I smiled back and put my forehead on his. I shut my eyes, still smiling, as he touched my cheek gently.
"Are you ready for me to kiss you?" he whispered.
I sighed, my smile fading and tears jumping to my eyes.
"Oh, Elvira," he groaned and pulled me into a hug.
"I'm sorry," I muttered, a few tears falling down my cheeks.
"You have nothing to be sorry for," he said, rubbing my arm.
"Can we just... sit for now?" I whispered and he leaned back in the couch.
"I love sitting," he whispered back.
I wrapped my arms around him and closed my eyes, inhaling his scent deeply then blushing. What a strange thing to do! But it felt nice and I enjoyed it. As he held me and we sat in silence, I smiled.
"I feel safe with you," I said quietly.
"Good," he said, "because I'm never letting you go."

They are okay I guess... 02/02/2014
This review is from: Polk Audio Monitor Series New Monitor 55T Two-Way Ported Floorstanding Loudspeaker (Black) Single
The volume is okay for most of my needs and I think they look great. Polk has absolutely fantastic cust service. The sound is nice and bright. Great for music.
They have very little bass / low end. I have these hooked up with a 12" sub-woofer, and I still don't think these have enough bass because it's not the full sound spectrum one should expect from a tower speaker. They do get loud enough for my needs, but actually not as loud as I would have expected them to. I am pushing them @ 100 Watts per, so I guess if I gave them more power I would get more out of them.
Other Thoughts:
I got these on sale for $70 each here at Newegg. They are not bad for the price. Overall, I wish I had purchased a larger set (like the Klipsh F-20's that went on sale for $90 the day after I purchased these) for those times when I want the movie really loud, and I know they put out a "fuller" sound. I have these as my front L / R. They would be perfect for the rear speakers if that is what you are looking for.
Of note: One grill was slightly cracked; I called Polk, they shipped me a new one right away, and included another one for backup (they retail for $35 ea). That's 2 new grills at no cost. Right on Polk!

ASHE COUNTY-An early morning fire claimed the life of a Fleetwood woman Saturday.
Cathy Ellison, 52, of 668 Woodstown Road, was likely asleep when a fire broke out in or near her home's kitchen on Nov. 14, according to Ashe County Fire Marshal Bob Davis. Davis said the fire may have started sometime around 7 a.m. and was reported to emergency responders around 8:40 a.m.
"Smoke is deadly in these situations," Davis said. "It can overwhelm you fast, or if you're asleep you just never realize."
Ellison was transported to Ashe Memorial Hospital where she was pronounced dead.
Davis said Ellison's family, including her husband Michael Ellison and two young daughters, were not home at the time of the fire.
Davis said the home is likely a total loss, though he said that determination will be made by insurance officials.
"These are rock solid people," Davis said. "And this is just an absolute tragedy."
Ellison's friends and family posted on her Facebook wall in the hours following the fire.
"What a restless night. So very sad and in total disbelief of this news," Ellison's friend Gail Plumery wrote. "Last time we spoke we were talking about meeting for a camping outing and I sure wish I had done that."
Funeral arrangements were not available at press time. The Jefferson Post will update with further details as they become available.

We all need help maintaining our personal spiritual practice. We hope that these Daily Meditations, prayers and mindful awareness exercises can be par...
Read Whole Story
Emanuel Swedenborg, the Swedish mystic who claimed that he was guided by God to visit the realms of the afterlife in spirit form, posited the premise that there's a cosmic sex in the afterlife, but only among married (heterosexual) couples.
Swedenborg was no woolly mystic. ... Swedenborg's visions weren't aimed at sidestepping our mundane duties, but at showing their link to a wider reality.
Awareness, what are we giving our attention to, is the most life-altering form of energy available to us. It is our awareness that has the greatest influence on the body, our perceptions and emotions.
We call it "the afterlife". But from everything we know about it, we really should be calling it "the life", and calling what we are experiencing now...
Through a technique of controlled breathing, Swedenborg could enter a state of concentrated focus. This trance-like state enabled him to literally master every known science in his life.

Big Fan Reviews
An unblinking look at the hidden (or perhaps not so hidden) pathology of American sports mania, in which the power and victory of your team becomes the sole conduit for your self-worth.
Big Fan is a spasmodically funny and bleak film about the love that speaks its name.
A bleakly funny character study of a very particular species of urban fauna -- the sports radio call-in fanatic -- Big Fan is compulsively watchable.
Audiences are invited to congratulate themselves for not reviling Paul, as long as they keep him at arm's length.
The movie gets repetitive, and when it calls an audible and goes somewhere unexpected, it pulls back quickly. Too bad.
Oswalt nails Paul's mix of sadness and devotion, and Siegel gives the whole affair an air of gloom with just the barest hint of satire.
A comedy with dark undertones, it asks: What kind of a man listens to and calls sports talk radio compulsively, even at 2 a.m.? Even out of season? Even on, say, Thanksgiving? He should get a life, do you think?
Though the movie isn't much to look at, he gets a credibly dark and pathetic performance from the typically comic Oswalt.
Big Fan shares a nutty kinship with the obsessive-loner pictures of Martin Scorsese, namely Taxi Driver and The King of Comedy. And while Oswalt is no De Niro, the stand-up comic brings a schlumpy pathos to his portrait that shows depth and dimension.
Mr. Siegel nails so many quirky details, and finds humor in the smallest of moments, that Big Fan is surprisingly poignant, too.
It's a small, peculiar film, one unlikely to appeal much to women, non-sports fans and mainstreamers, but its uncomfortable comic insights should win it a loyal following.
Superb Noo Yawk attitude, dialogue and performances keep the movie lively and tart, but it also turns out to have a surprising plot with a few twists you won't see coming.
First-time director Siegel shows promise. His script is solid, and although the last act feels somewhat awkward, the idea is clever.
Writer-director Robert D. Siegel grew up listening to callers like Paul on The FAN, New York City's all-sports radio, and he gives us a bizarrely sympathetic portrait of a guy who is as devout and as obsessive as any religious fanatic.
With its unremittingly bleak humor and eagerness to plumb the depths of fanboy abjection, Big Fan seems destined for a future in the cult canon.
Writer/director Robert D. Siegel understands the psychology of the obsessive sports fan, and he brings it to the screen in Big Fan, a dark comedy that occasionally skirts close to the edge of tragedy.
What's left is a vivid portrait of an exceedingly ordinary man for whom there's no great epiphany or cliched redemption. That may be Siegel's trickiest play of all.
Robert Siegel makes a potent directing debut with a scrappy movie that refuses to sentimentalize or ridicule its besieged hero worshipper.
Big Fan is a poignant, dead-on character study, an examination of a crisis in the life of the most die-hard of die-hard New York Giants football fans.

The film Eden is based on the true story of what happened to Chong Kim when she was kidnapped and forced into prostitution in a sex trade ring in the US. While at SXSW this year, I was able to talk with her about the film and what happened to her. She was very open about what happened to her and no subject was off limits. She is a very inspiring person who is now involved in advocating for the girls who are forced into this horrifying ordeal.

Bernanke Delivers Semi-Annual Testimony on Monetary Policy Before the Senates
The Federal Reserve Bank Chairman Ben Bernanke signaled in his semi-annual testimony before the Senates that the American labor market's depression continue to weigh on economic progress, while Bernanke saw economic growth pace this year has been quite modest despite the economic slowdown witnessed across the country's activities lately.
Bernanke on the other hand reassured markets that the pace of recovery shall be picking up in the upcoming quarters, where the country will hopefully witness advanced growth rates, as the Fed expressed its fully readiness to run further stimulus, while Bernanke saw late inflation hike to be temporary.
Furthermore Bernanke saw household confidence along with spending levels would probably climb in the mid-term and the causes of the recent economic slowdown are more likely to be transitory, thereby the Feds warrant the economy interest rate shall remain unchanged at a record low between 0.00% and 0.25% for an extend period and the Feds could loosen its current monetary policy further by purchasing more securities.

Can Soursop Fruit Treat Cancer
Can soursop fruit treat cancer?
No: There is no scientific evidence that soursop fruit can help treat cancer. There are many alternative therapies that have been touted as being cures for cancer, and there are those who try to make a quick buck from very vulnerable patients. If you want to try these types of therapies as complements to your normal cancer care, talk with your oncologist. Some can actually interfere with treatment. ...Read moreSee 1 more doctor answer
Cancer (Definition)
Cancer is a group of diseases that is characterized by uncontrolled cell growth leading to invasion of surrounding tissues that spread to other parts of the body. Cancer can begin anywhere in the body and is usually related to one or more genetic mutations that allow normal cells to become malignant by interfering with internal cellular control mechanisms, such as programmed cell death or by preventing ...Read more

Fruit is even better at fighting cancer than soursop, how about papaya?

The GangMature
"Mathew?" Even after all of these years, they were still friends. Or so she'd thought. "Mathew, why didn't you tell me that you knew what they;re always talking about." He looked guilty. Elena knew he did. There was something in the way that he edged away from her, wasn't there? He had to know.
"I don't know what you're talking about," he said firmly. "I've told you everything that I know."
"Then how do the adults know about you? What do they say?" She was intrigued - nay, fascinated - by what she hadn't heard, more than by what she had heard. "I was listening to my parents talking. They said you guys knew. That you would tell me the truth in the end, so they didn't have to. You must know all this stuff."
Mathew sighed and stretched his hands behind his back. "First of all, do you know what it is I'm supposed to know? And second of all, you should have learned not to listen at doors by now."
"First of all, I know that you know something about why they won't talk about things and why there's no music any more," said Elena furiously. "Second of all, I only listen at doors because no one tells me what the hell is going on the rest of the time. And thirdly, you're an irritating prat when you're like this, did you know that?"
Her friend grinned at her. Of course he did. "Well, I can't say I know anything. The others might." He shrugged. "Why don't you ask them, instead of biting my head off when I don't know what I'm supposed to be telling you?"
Elena scowled at him and stormed out of the room. She would ask the others, but only because she'd been planning to all along. Not because Mathew had suggested it - she never took his advice, since it invariably got them both into serious trouble.
Nowadays she hung around with a group of them. Mathew had introduced her when she was twelve and at first the others had been sceptical. "I'm not sure she's big enough to join us," they'd said. They were a year or two older, and all of them were boys. "She's a little skinny, isn't she?"
"Why thank you," she said, utterly sarcastic. "But you know, you'll probably need me if you want someone skinny. What're you doing that needs strong folk anyway? If it's stealing, a skinny girl's better because we can get through little gaps." The leader stared at her for a minute then laughed.
"Well, I guess..." He looked at Mathew. "You know she's the one that always asks questions? If she goes down she'll drag us all with her."
"That's why I brought her here. She's not going down alone." For a while they carried on talking, Elena staring from one face to the other in bemusement. It was as though they didn't even realise she was there.
"Right, girl," began their leader, Geoff.
"Elena," she told him.
"My name is Elena. Not 'girl'. Not 'lass'. Not anything else completely ridiculous like that." She pouted at Mathew, who just smiled.
"Fine. Elena. Firstly, we don't steal. Secondly, you keep your mouth shut about things that aren't yours to spread, get it? Thirdly, you listen to us or to Mathew. You don't act on your own. You take our orders. And fourthly, if you fall, you fall alone, because we're not taking us too."
"All right," said Elena. And she was in.
Two years had passed since then, but not much else had changed. She still took their orders. The only thing that was different was that she wasn't the youngest any more, though she was still the smallest and still the only girl. Once, she'd watched them lose a man to them. She wouldn't let that happen to her.
"Fine, I'll ask them," she said, poking her head around the door and glaring at Mathew. "But I know you know."

This hotel was not as I expected. The thing that I enjoyed was the HBO that was in English and the comfy full size bed. There was no one here at the hotel that spoke nor understood English.

Stayed at Shatan hotel for two nights. Nice hotel. Rooms are small but with nice furnishings and modern fixtures. Great location a short walk to the Forbidden City. The cafe at the end of the Hutong is a nice spot for a cup of coffee or breakfast.

The roaring wind worked hard last night; it stripped the tattered remnants from the hedgerows and smashed the weaker, sapless twigs from the trees; it whirled the clustered ash-keys into space. Wind is more awe-inspiring, sounds more vindictively destructive in the dark than in the light. Then came a strange lull and impressive hush, and we looked out this morning upon the transformed world; the winter snow had come. The thaw followed quickly, and the peewits, fieldfares, and redwings soon found damp, bare spots where food was to be found; the tits and dunnocks discovered the insects which had been driven into shelter by wind rather than cold, and the autumn seed stores for the finches were soon available. Famine does not immediately follow the first fall of snow. There are limitations to the intelligence of insects. The winter gnats and small flies have sense enough to discover holes in which they can shelter from the wind, rain, or snow, though we cannot tell how they find them. They do not, at any rate, take into consideration the fact that their natural foes can also see and investigate holes. A pair of blue tits this morning were thoroughly enjoying the short-sighted policy of the sheltering insects which had selected one large hollow and were slumbering on its dry roof. The tits did not even enter; they could reach the food by hanging from the lip, and the ecstatic movements of the their short but expressive tails indicated their enjoyment.

Game of ChessMature
Chapter Eleven: Game of Chess
I woke up when the door opened again and sat up, expecting to see Cain. But the way they walked wasn't right. I crawled off the bed quietly, landing with a soft shush sound on the carpet. The bed was between us and when I glanced around the corner the figure didn't seem to have noticed my presence. Most likely not a vampire I concluded.
"Where's he off too?" I recognised the arrogant husky voice instantly.
"Penelope?" I whispered, making her jump on the spot. I saw her fumble for the lights and snapped my eyes shut in advance so I wouldn't be blinded. I heard her gasp of shock and stood, blinking slowly to adjust.
"What are you doing here?" she asked, her voice etched with fear as she backed away. I could see now that she only wore shorts and a low-cut top. Just what had her intentions been when she came here? It wasn't too hard to guess.
"Calm down, Cain knows I'm here," I replied, rolling my eyes at her panicked voice. She didn't look entirely convinced but she lowered her arms.
"It'd be more convincing if you lost the rebel get-up," she said.
"Says the girl showing as much skin as possible," I replied, making her cheeks turn red. She tried to find words but stuttered out unintelligible things instead.
"I'll tell Cain you dropped by in case he wants blood," I continued. Trying not to sound too judgemental as I spoke. Blood was one thing, but sex with one of them? Just when I thought my opinion of the girl couldn't get lower. She looked even more embarrassed by my words and left quickly. I lied back down, trying to fall asleep but I was too alert again. I picked up my bag and pulled out the small box. Could I really inject this into me and watch the pain it'll cause him? I wished there was an alternative to this whole mess. I should've never let Matt convince me to do this.
I threw the box back in my bag and slumped back. Everything smelled of Cain in here, it was overpowering. Everything would be easier if vampires never existed in the first place. Then Cain would've been another human and everything in my head would make sense. Only this was far from a perfect world. I threw the covers off me with a loud sigh, knowing I wasn't going to get to sleep again. I looked around his room more and saw something poking from the top of his wardrobe. I pulled his desk chair to see what it was.
"Been years since I've seen one of these," I murmured as I carefully pulled it down, it was heavier than I expected. The chess set was probably made of something fancy like marble. I quickly correct myself mentally, realising I'd been wrong. I'd played this as a kid too. I guess my beginners luck as a training soldier wasn't all that beginners. I set up the pieces, trying to remember some of the moves I'd always throw at the guys back in the colony. They got sick and tired of me winning so much. Then there was a raid and the set we'd managed to find was lost.
I was a few moves into a game with myself when the door opened and Cain walked in. He looked exhausted, I had a feeling his voice might be sore from yelling too. He watched me take a rook silently and I stopped, wondering if I'd done something wrong by taking down the set, it had been pretty dusty.

Assignment 2: Part 2 - Case Study: Basic Cardiac Life Support
As a nurse educator, you are responsible for preparing a clinically-proficient and culturally-competent nursing workforce through nursing education. In addition, you are expected to promote excellence in patient care and safe patient outcomes through patient education.
Motivating learners is the key to achieving learning outcomes. The motivational strategies that you use will help determine the successes or failures of the learning experience. Both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation can foster active learning and develop professional expertise in your learners. However, it is important to strike a balance between both approaches.
In the scenario below, you will use emerging technologies to keep learners engaged and interested. Using technology in classrooms, clinics, or community education centers can be an efficient and effective alternative to conventional learning.
You will create an 8-page paper (excluding title page, references, and Appendices) addressing the following items looking through the lens of the Staff Development Educator, the Community Health-Based Educator, or the Academic Nurse Educator (choose only one educator perspective through which to view the scenario).
Scenario: Basic Cardiac Life Support
You are working for a facility that has just purchased a $60,000 simulation mannequin. As you read the instructions, you find out that the modules you need to teach basic cardiac life support (BCLS) were not included in the simulator purchase. You find that the simulator cannot be used to its fullest potential because the interactive EKG and AED modules have not been purchased. You learn from the director of nursing education that there was not enough money in the budget to purchase the entire package. You are told that you must "make do" with what has been purchased to teach a class of 30 leaners of varying ages and diverse backgrounds.
- Explain how will you deal with motivational issues in this diverse learning group.
- How will you discover intrinsic motivating factors to help the various members of your audience learn the material that you plan to present?
- Determine what possible issues related to resistant learners may you encounter.
- Assess how will you manage the resistant learner.
- What are the possible programs on BCLS support that you can design using this simulation mannequin, despite the limitations imposed on you?
- Outline the advantages of using this simulation package to teach BCLS.
- Determine the limitations of using a simulation mannequin, which does not have an interactive EKG and AED modules, to teach BCLS.
- Plan how can you overcome these limitations.
- Construct a method to evaluate your learners with a percentage to pass.

This is, of course, a very different MPC from the one headed by Sir Eddie George. The weight of Bank of England insiders is considerably weakened by his departure.
At the same time, the voting pattern of newcomers Richard Lambert, at his second session, and Rachel Lomax, making her debut, are unknown. So the form book of new governor Mervyn King's committee is less reliable.
The widespread assumption has been that because King is generally cautious on rate cuts, this is the way it will always be. But, as the US Supreme Court and the BBC under the chairmanship of Gavyn Davies demonstrate, you can appoint likeminded people to office, but you cannot control their independence-once they are there. Having been wrong-footed twice by MPC activism, in February and again now, a Reuters poll of economists after the rate cut showed that of 35 questioned, 21 believe that at 3.5%, interest rates have reached the lowest point of this cycle.
The biggest dissenter to this majority view is Roger Bootle, adviser to Deloitte & Touche and one of the first British economists to recognise the end of the inflationary era. He forecasts that base rates could fall to 3% by year end - and he may well be right.
Careful reading of the Bank's well-organised statement points to the fact that inflation, as currently measured, is almost certainly overstated as a result of energy and housing factors working their way through the system.
This will be even more so when we move to the European 'hiccup' measure of inflation, which removes housing altogether and switches us to a more sophisticated statistical base.
Another factor allowing interest rates to fall is the 4% rise in the pound since it reached its trough in May. As Bootle notes, it is 'now well above the MPC's assumed path for it'. One of the characteristics of the George-led MPC, in my view, was its close attention to the exchange rate.
This was partly a result of the former governor's experiences in the war room of the Bank of England during the turbulent days leading up to Britain's ejection from the European Monetary System in September 1992.
What everyone can agree is that the indicators released in the runup to the MPC meeting mostly pointed toward a slowdown. This, together with the downward revisions to growth in the first quarter of this year (and now we learn in 2001 and 2002), suggests a far less robust economy than had been hoped.
We are feeling the draught from a slowing world economy, with only the United States showing any real prospects of recovery.
Even across the Atlantic there are problems despite George W Bush's huge fiscal boost and a 1% federal funds rate. In his latest testimony, Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan warns that higher energy prices and gas shortages are having an adverse affect on growth.
So we should be keeping optimism about America in perspective too.
Yell silenced
THE sweat on the brows of some private equity firms will be drying following the market enthusiasm for the Yell flotation. Coming soon after Benfield, in the booming Lloyd's of London sector, it suggests that institutions, flush with cash, are more than happy to absorb newcomers.
Before anyone becomes to excited about Yell, it is worth bearing in mind the note of caution sounded by Citigroup Smith Barney. It has serious concerns about the regulatory arrangements for Yell in Britain, which are far from transparent and could expose investors to risk.
As a frequent visitor to the US, I would also have worries about prospects there. Cut-throat competition is evident with negative advertising filling the TV screens. Impressionistic this may be, but directory advertising is not a market - or for that matter a share - for the faint hearted.
Atkins options
A NEW book on the Atkins diet, with its high protein, high fat content, is surging its way up Britain's bestseller lists, outsold only by JK Rowling.
Maybe it is time to think about some unfashionable quoted meat companies such as Cranswick (sausages), Devro (sausage skins) and Kerry, the Irish bacon producer. The king of them all, the private Vestey family with its extensive butchery interests, must be sharpening its knives.Reuse content

Higgins Boats
In the late 1930s, the U.S. military began developing small boats that could carry troops from ships to open beaches. Andrew Jackson Higgins of New Orleans, who had been manufacturing shallow-water work boats to support oil and gas exploration in the Louisiana bayous, adapted his Eureka Boat to meet the military's specifications for a landing craft. Designated the Landing Craft Personnel (Large), or LCP(L), it was used in the invasions of Guadalcanal and North Africa in 1942.
Initially, separate landing craft were used for troops and vehicles, the LCP(L)s and the LCVs (Landing Craft, Vehicle). The LCP(L) was designed without a ramp. Troops unloaded from the LCP(L) by jumping over the side, which proved unsatisfactory because climbing over the side exposed the men to hostile fire. Higgins solved this shortcoming by combining the LCP(L) and LCV's designs into the Landing Craft Vehicle and Personnel or LCVP. This craft, which is now the most famous of Higgins's designs and is often referred to as the Higgins Boat, allowed infantry or small vehicles to exit through a front ramp.
Higgins Boats changed the way that war was fought. Previously, navies would have to attack ports, which were usually heavily defended. By using Higgins Boats, armies could unload across an open beach and have more options in choosing their attack points. This also stretched the defending armies. Instead of concentrating on only a few entry points, defenders had to cover more shoreline. In both the Pacific and European Theaters of World War II, Higgins Boats allowed Allied armies to move ashore.
The success of these boats ensured that Higgins Industries would be a major employer during the War. A small workforce of only 75 workers in 1938 grew to over 20,000 by 1943. The Higgins workforce was the first in New Orleans to be racially integrated. His employees included undrafted white males, women, African Americans, the elderly and handicapped persons. All were paid equal wages according to their job rating. They responded by shattering production records, turning out more than 20,000 boats by the end of the war.

Lucinda- Missing
I sat down on the grass and narrowed my eyes at the Pokémon that was fidgeting in front of me,
"I know you know where he is." I said, the Pokémon looked around not meeting my eye.
"Come on Venonat! I don't what to have to pay for whatever he breaks again!" I said giving Venonat a look. She looked up at me with her big red eyes. I sighed to myself and patted her on the head,
"Come on, let's go find him."
I guess I should start from the beginning.
Hi, I'm Lucinda. I'm 12 years old and a Pokémon trainer, I have two Pokémon at the moment Venonat, who was the one I was just talking to, and Gastly, who for some reason has decided to go and cause mischief. We're currently heading towards towards Pallet Town to restock on supplies and I have a feeling that is where I'll find Gastly.
I got up and picked Venonat up, wrapping my arms around her and hugging her close to my chest. I looked down at Venonat,
"OK. Which way is he?" Venonat pointed towards the town that we were going to,
I began walking towards the town and hopefully towards Gastly before he caused some real trouble.
We came towards the entrance to the town and I spotted a couple of new trainers hanging around, their Pokémon playing among themselves, there was a Growlith, Ralts and Cyndaquil.
I put Venonat down and walked up to them,
"Hi there! You haven't happened to see a Gastly have you?"
"Gastly?" I looked at the girl who had the Ralts hiding behind her legs, I nodded and fumbled with my bag. I pulled out my pokedex and flicked the screen open, I scrolled down the list until I came to #092.
I held the Pokedex up and pointed at the picture,
"This is Gastly, he's a ghost Pokémon."
"We don't see many Ghost Pokemon..." The only boy said. I nodded and said,
"Yeah, well Gastly is always up to trouble. Anyway sorry to cause you trouble." I turned to leave when the girl with red hair said,
"Are you from the Jhoto region?"
"Yup! I'm Lucinda and this is Venonat," I said pointing down at her, "Nice to meet you!" I smiled.
"I'm Amanda and this is Cyndaquil" She said kneeling down to stroke her Pokémon on the head.
"I'm David, and this here is Growlith." He said pointing towards himself and grinning, Growlith barked.
"Hi, I'm Addison and this is Ralts" The other girl said picking up her Pokémon.
I shuffled from foot to foot and glanced down at the floor,
"Do you think you could help me find Gastly?" They all nodded,
"Uh the only problem is that he doesn't like strangers so if any of you find him you might have to battle him, but normal moves wont work they just go right through him. He can use Lick, Night shade, Hypnosis and Confuse ray so be careful. If you do get in a battle Venonat will hear and I'll try to get there as soon as possible."
"Venonat!" Venonat said in her high pitched voice.
"Don't worry about it! No one can beat me a Growlith!" The boy said grinning. I smiled and winked,
"Thanks guys! Good luck!" I picked up Venonat a ran to look for Gastly, so did the others.

Hi there, Iam new to this site, and would be interested in connecting to anyone that is interested in genuine facts and truth, realism, etc.. rather than fiction and fantasy stories and make believe, that just doesnt do it for me personally speaking. "fable maker" the book is a Collection of short stories, facts and facets and abstract writing, that spills the truth out in more ways than one could imagine. Composed over more than several years, shut up in a draw for to long, before this work saw the light of day! So I will be flying back to New Zealand on the 10th of December this year, being of course 2013, after a 4 and a half year "tour of duty" or stretch in Nanjing China. Back to the fresh air and to my reclusive nature that I have missed so much after being so long on the "Planet of the Chinese" Which in appropriately will be the next title for my new book.. Dont take life to serious pilgrim, you cant take it all with you, that is money and your car and house, nothing is certain in this life dream reality, only property they think, yeah its all about property! After all, think like our ancient ancestors, when there is enough food, just rest and relax, when the food supply gets short, back to the company so to speak, at least they got it right then.. The animal within.. Indeed, the human animal has been taken fom his natural environment and placed into a artificial computerized concrete kingdom, but any how you can check all that out in fable maker, happy reading..

One of the most dedicated and inspiring political figures of all time is going to be the first recipients of an award dedicated towards helping out humanity. The political figure is none other than Hillary Rodham Clinton, who will obtain the first ever Michael Kors Award on October 16th.
The award will be a brand new addition to the God's Love We Deliver awards which are held out in honor of showing true assistance towards ones community and humanity in general and are held out by the charity of the same name in New York. The Michael Kors Award, named after the fashion designer who is also dedicated to helping humanity, will be given to Hilary Clinton.
Clinton will be given the award for her countless amount of years spent helping out mankind with her programs to help end world hunger. Kors himself appears to have given careful consideration to the winner, stating in an interview that "Mrs Clinton is a dedicated and enormously effective humanitarian whose commitment to community service encompasses the whole planet".
This is sure to benefit both Hilary and the award, in the former's case because it makes her look more caring and in the award's case, because it will set a standard for other recipients.
The Michael Kors Award is sure to become the ultimate status symbol as a Hermes Birkin bag is to accessories.
An authentic Hermes Birkin 40 makes a statement of ultra luxury. The expense behind an authentic Birkin is due to each one has been made to order per customer's specifications. This is not an off the assembly line handbag.
This used Birkin is crafted in stunning and grainy black Ardennes leather, matched to fine gold tone hardware. The bag has a signature Hermes lock and is locked by closing the top flaps over buckle loops.
The dazzling handbag of the stars features a double top handle strap for hand carry. The base of the Hermes winner contains protective metal feet to protect the striking bag.
The interior has one full open compartment on the side wall with more than ample space to bring paperwork and a communication device to any board meeting.
Celebrities fight among themselves to get a hold of an authentic Hermes Birkin 40 Bag, which is still considered the 'Celebrity Bag.' The lucky ones who got their hands this stylish and special tote one include Anne Hathaway, Renee Zellweger, Kate Hudson and world known political figures.

Bin Ma - Wnt/β-catenin negative feedback loop inhibits IL-1-induced MMP expression in human articular chondrocytes
Bin Ma, Clemens van Blitterswijk, Marcel Karperien
Arthritis & Rheumatism 2012
Recent animal studies suggest that activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in articular chondrocytes might be a driving factor in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA) by stimulating amongst others the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). This study aimed to investigate the role of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in IL-1β-induced MMP expression in human chondrocytes.
Primary cultures of human, mouse and bovine articular chondrocytes as well as human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) and mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) were used. Multiple strategies for activation and inhibition of signaling pathways were used. Reporter assays and co-immunoprecipitations were used to study the interaction between β-catenin and NF-κB.
In contrast to animal chondrocytes, in human chondrocytes Wnt/β-catenin is a potent inhibitor of MMP1, -3 and -13 expression and generic MMP activity both in basal conditions and after IL-1β stimulation. This effect is independent of TCF/LEF transcription factors but is due to an inhibitory protein-protein interaction between β-catenin and NF-κB. Furthermore we show that IL-1β indirectly activates β-catenin signaling by inducing canonical Wnt7B expression and by inhibiting the expression of canonical Wnt antagonists.
Our data reveal an unexpected anti-catabolic role of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in human chondrocytes by counteracting NF-κB-mediated MMP expression induced by IL-1β in a negative feedback loop.

Before buying an EMR system, learn from others' mistakes
■ A practical look at information technology issues and usage
If you talk to 10 physician practices after a major technology implementation, you'll likely get 10 different stories about the lessons they learned.
So what is the biggest mistake? Experts say it's not listening to those doctors and learning from their experiences.
Consultants say no matter whether you are a hospital or small physician practice, or whether you are implementing an electronic medical record or an e-prescribing system, there are patterns in the mistakes made during the shopping for and implementing of technology.
"In medicine, there will be times when people try things and they will turn out to not be the best things to do. You don't want to be in a situation of making a mistake when "all you had to do is check with somebody to find the appropriate way to do things," said James Jose, MD, a pediatric critical care doctor who is director of medical informatics of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta.
Richard C. Howe, PhD, vice president of business development at Healthcare Informatics Associates, said he, too, has seen several implementation projects fail after trying to go it alone without asking for advice from experts or peers. HIA, based in Bainbridge Island, Wash., provides health IT consulting and implementation services.
Experts such as consultants, trade groups and user groups, have a wider pool of experiences to draw from, Howe said. And peers are important because they can provide an overview of what problems they ran into and how they solved them.
Finding the right practice to talk to, and figuring out the best questions to ask, may take some homework and planning. But it's worth the time and effort.
Karen Colorafi, RN, an independent consultant from Phoenix, said most practices start with a long list of possible vendors. Once that list is narrowed down to two or three, "I would definitely recommend not just picking up the phone but, if you can, do a site visit" to a practice using the system.
Every vendor has a list of references for potential clients to talk to. While references can be helpful, they shouldn't be your only source of information, Dr. Jose said. National conferences are a great place for networking and meeting people, he said. Other references often can be found through national organizations such as the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society or the American Medical Informatics Assn.
But the best source, according to Dr. Jose, are the "benchmark organizations" that you look up to. Find the practice that is where you want to be five to 10 years from now. Talk to the people there and find out how they got there and what was learned along the way. Dr. Jose said most practices are willing to share their experiences.
What to ask EMR veterans
Experts say there are a handful of key questions that should always be asked of references, whether you found them on your own, or through your potential vendors:
- If you had it to do over again, what would you do differently?
- Would you recommend the same vendor?
- Did you budget correctly?
- What are the ongoing maintenance costs?
- How long did the system take to implement and what were the problems you encountered?
- How did you handle converting data from paper to electronic? How was data abstracted?
Just being aware of the most common problems can help guide you through the process, experts say. HIA's Howe said even if a practice is satisfied with its vendor overall, chances are things did not go perfectly and something was learned along the way.
Sidestepping pitfalls
The following are among the most common mistakes that have clearly been defined, and can be avoided.
- Underestimating workflow changes. Talking to practices of similar size and scope will help give you realistic expectations. Dan Rodgers, president and CEO of MedCo Data, a Tampa, Fla.-based consulting practice said practices also should evaluate workflow before implementation and develop the ideal workflow for postimplementation.
- Not allowing enough time for training. Howe said he has heard several vendors use the sales pitch that their systems require no training. Talking to someone who uses the system will verify that's likely not the case. There are no plug-and-play systems, experts say.
- Treating the project solely as an IT project as opposed to a business decision. "If you are a pediatrician, you are in the business of treating kids; if you are an orthopedic [specialist], you're in the business of running an orthopedic group," said Howe. Whatever system you select should support that business.
- Failing to consider future needs in negotiations. Rodgers said just implementing the core will likely mean the practice will have to go back to that vendor for more. Rodgers said practices should negotiate those prices at the time of the initial implementation and have the vendor sign off on a statement of intent to purchase. Otherwise, you are stuck with a vendor who, after the fact, can set any price, he said.
- Not defining a clear path for return on investment. Rodgers said many practices jump in, accepting the vendors promise of profit, but don't sit down and develop a plan to get them there.
- Not having a legal expert review the contract. "When you are getting ready to sign a $50,000 contract, it's worth a couple hundred bucks to have someone review that contract for you," Colorafi said.
- Going cheap on the infrastructure. Rodgers said he has heard from several practices that say their systems aren't performing the way they were promised. In reality, he said, they were running the systems on older, less-expensive computers and servers that weren't allowing the system to run at optimal levels.
- Delegating the implementation to nonphysicians. Colorafi said she has seen many implementations fail because the job of selecting a system was delegated to a practice manager instead of a physician who will be using it. Others can be used to gather background information, she said, but taking the systems for a test run should fall to the physician.


text: I have been trying to find information on connecting a wireless router to another wireless router. Seems simple enough but the information I have seen refers to settings that Don't exist in the cofiguration pages of the equipment I have. This is kinda complex and I'm in a rush so you get the fast answer. You can't do that with what you have. Wireless routers and access points are normally made to talk to wireless clients, not other routers or access points. The DLink DI-514 is a very simple wireless router and can only act as a wireless router. Same with your WRT54G using the stock firmware. However, the WRT54G can use replacement firmware such as Sveasoft Alchemy. This adds additional features including WDS and client mode. If you configure the WRT54G to client mode, it will see and connect to the DI-514 and do roughly what you want. It can also bridge more than one MAC address allowing you to plug in more than one computah into the WRT54G. I'm too lazy to explain WDS but it's a similar option. The catch is that you will need to replace your DI-514 with another WRT54G to use WDS. See: | http://www.tomsnetworking.com/Sectio...le78-page1.php (10 pages) | http://www.linksysinfo.org/modules.p...showpage&pid=7 for descriptions. My question is , how do you connect a wireless router A to another wireless router B so that they both can connect to the LAN and Internet? I have one computer with a WIRED ETHERNET card. I have a cable connecting the PC to a port on the DLINK 514 Wireless router. On PC #2 I have a similar setup. The PC is plugged into a port on a LINKSYS WRT54G wireless router. The Linksys has DHCP turned on, and is connected to the Internet via a Linksys Cable modem. Why can't the DLink see the Linksys router? The DLINK should be acting as a Wireless Access Point shouldn't it? Both Routers have the same SSID and use different channels, but neither can see the other.
