text: Giving to the Best Child Sponsorship Programs By Glenna MacDougal ArticlesOctober 14, 20150 Back to HomeTweet EmbedScriptsSupporting a child sponsorship program is a generous way to help some of the world's most vulnerable citizens. In most cases, you're provided with a photo and biography of a particular child, and your financial contributions are aimed at providing a better life for this child and his or her village.Some of the things in that these types of programs provide include:• Food• Clean water• Health care• School feesThe world's poorest children struggle to obtain these basic needs and most child sponsorship programs require only a small donation each month.Better sponsorship programs also offer enhanced services for those families that need them. These might include providing job training or micro-finance loans to a sponsored child's mother, or developing community-wide economic strategies.Help a child today, and make the world a better place!<iframe src='http://bestchildsponsorshipprogram.org/engage-video/10312' width='650' height='390' scrolling='no' webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe>Best Child Sponsorship Programs There are so many problems in the world that require our attention that sometimes, we become overwhelmed just thinking about them. That's why the idea of sponsoring one particular child is very attractive: perhaps we can't change the world, but we can change the life of one child. Selecting a Program Choosing a child sponsorship program may prove to be difficult, also, since there are now many options. Some are based in a particular religion; others are secular. Some are focused solely on providing education, while others provide support for entire families or communities. Benefits of Sponsorship Programs The hope of many of these programs is that by subsidizing one child or family, that family can be lifted out of poverty. Some studies suggest that there are other benefits as well. Bonds sometimes develop between sponsor and child, and the window onto another world is opened for both. If you have children of your own, sponsoring a child can be a great way to help them learn about life in developing countries. And occasionally, children even meet their sponsoring families. Look into child sponsorship programs today and do what you can to help a needy child. Back to Home

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. ----- UAB junior forward Ashley Grimes heated up late in the first half and never stopped on her way to a career-high 31 points, leading the Blazers' women's basketball team to a 62-58 win against East Carolina on Sunday.
With the victory, UAB snaps a three-game losing skid and improves to 14-8 overall and 5-4 in Conference USA action. The Pirates fall for the first time in five games and move to 16-6, 6-3 in C-USA play.
"I have said it time and time again, but Ashley Grimes is the most modest and humble player I have ever coached," UAB head coach Audra Smith said. "She put us on her back today and rose up for us big time in a huge game for our team."
Grimes shot 11-for-18 (61 percent) from the floor and finished with six rebounds to go with her 31 points, helping her team in a game that featured four ties and 10 lead changes.
"After the loss in Dallas (to SMU in triple overtime), we came together as a team and decided that we are going to look forward," Smith added. "Today, we grinded it out and showed the attitude and aggression that it takes to win in this league."
UAB started the game sluggish as East Carolina built a sizable lead, 27-17, with 5:43 left before halftime. The Blazers went six and a half minutes without a basket during that time frame, while the Pirates hit 12-of-20 (60 percent) to open the contest.
Led by Grimes, UAB heated up in the final five minutes of the opening stanza. The Selma, Ala., native scored 16 first-half points and spearheaded a 12-4 run to close the ECU advantage to 31-29 at the break.
UAB's advantage did not last long, however, as East Carolina battled back to take as much as a five-point lead, 49-44, with just under 10 minutes to go. In fact, ECU led for the next eight minutes, until Blazer senior Amber Jones hit a jumper at the 2:24 mark to give her squad a 57-56 advantage.
The Blazers did not trail the rest of the way, however, hanging on for a 62-58 win after Grimes knocked in three free-throws in the final 12 seconds to seal the victory.
Jones finished the game with 14 points and six rebounds for UAB, while senior Michaela Kleist scored eight points and tallied four rebounds in the win.
East Carolina had two players in double figures with 27 combined points from sisters Whitny and Britny Edwards.
UAB now gets set for a road contest at Memphis on Thursday. Tip time between the Blazers and Tigers is scheduled for 7 p.m. CT at the Elma Roane Fieldhouse.

|Renters Group Demands Apology from Tea Party Leader Over Voting Rights Comments
|News - Opinion
|Written by B|V|N Newsroom
|Wednesday, 01 December 2010 14:59
Berkeley - Earlier today, Tenants Together, California's statewide organization for renters' rights, demanded an apology from Judson Phillips, President of "Tea Party Nation,†for his assertion that restricting voting to property owners "makes a lot of sense.â€
Phillips made the comment in his weekly Tea Party radio program:
"The Founding Fathers originally said, they put certain restrictions on who got the right to vote. It wasn't you were just a citizen and you automatically got to vote. Some of the restrictions, you know, you obviously would not think about today. But one of them was you had to be a property owner. And that makes a lot of sense, because if you're a property owner you actually have a vested stake in the community. And if you're not a property owner, you know, I'm sorry but property owners have a little bit more of a vested stake in the community than non-property owners do.â€
Over 95 million Americans rent their homes. Renters are one third of the U.S. population. When the United States was founded, most states restricted voting to property owners, but these restrictions were phased out in the early 1800s.
"Mr. Phillips owes an apology to the millions of Americans who rent their homes,†stated Dean Preston, Executive Director of Tenants Together, a statewide tenant rights organization in California. California has an estimated 14 million renters. Tenants Together sent a letter today demanding a formal apology from Phillips and the "Tea Party Nation†that he represents.
In addition to criticizing Phillips' comments, the letter urged action for renters' rights: "If you think tenants are not sufficiently vested in their communities, perhaps you should support laws to protect tenants from unfair rent increases, arbitrary evictions, and substandard housing conditions that drive tenants out of their homes, rather than proposing an unconstitutional exclusion from the democratic process.â€
Tenants Together is also urging political leaders of all parties to publicly condemn Phillips' proposed disenfranchisement of renters, noting that renters are an integral part of communities across the country and that Phillips' comments are an affront to millions of Americans.

Mark Twain, A Biography Vol I, Part 2: 1866 - 1875
An "Atlantic" Story and a Play
Paine, Albert Bigelow
The reference to "Auntie Cord" in the letter to Dr. Brown brings us to Mark Twain's first contribution to the Atlantic Monthly. Howells in his Recollections of his Atlantic editorship, after referring to certain Western contributors, says:
Later came Mark Twain, originally of Missouri, but then provisionally of Hartford, and now ultimately of the solar system, not to say the universe. He came first with "A True Story," one of those noble pieces of humanity with which the South has atoned chiefly, if not solely, through him for all its despite to the negro.
Clemens had long aspired to appear in the Atlantic, but such was his own rating of his literature that he hardly hoped to qualify for its pages. Twichell remembers his "mingled astonishment and triumph" when he was invited to send something to the magazine.
He was obliged to "send something" once or twice before the acceptance of "A True Story," the narrative of Auntie Cord, and even this acceptance brought with it the return of a fable which had accompanied it, with the explanation that a fable like that would disqualify the magazine for every denominational reader, though Howells hastened to express his own joy in it, having been particularly touched by the author's reference to Sisyphus and Atlas as ancestors of the tumble-bug. The "True Story," he said, with its "realest king of black talk," won him, and a few days later he wrote again: "This little story delights me more and more. I wish you had about forty of 'em."
And so, modestly enough, as became him, for the story was of the simplest, most unpretentious sort, Mark Twain entered into the school of the elect.
In his letter to Howells, accompanying the MS., the author said:
I inclose also "A True Story," which has no humor in it. You can pay as lightly as you choose for that if you want it, for it is rather out of my line. I have not altered the old colored woman's story, except to begin it at the beginning, instead of the middle, as she did--and traveled both ways.
Howells in his Recollections tells of the business anxiety in the Atlantic office in the effort to estimate the story's pecuniary value. Clemens and Harte had raised literary rates enormously; the latter was reputed to have received as much as five cents a word from affluent newspapers! But the Atlantic was poor, and when sixty dollars was finally decided upon for the three pages (about two and a half cents a word) the rate was regarded as handsome--without precedent in Atlantic history. Howells adds that as much as forty times this amount was sometimes offered to Mark Twain in later years. Even in '74 he had received a much higher rate than that offered by the Atlantic,--but no acceptance, then, or later, ever made him happier, or seemed more richly rewarded.
"A True Story, Repeated Word for Word as I Heard It" was precisely what it claimed to be.--[Atlantic Monthly for November, 1874; also included in Sketches New and Old.]--Auntie Cord, the Auntie Rachel of that tale, cook at Quarry Farm, was a Virginia negress who had been twice sold as a slave, and was proud of the fact; particularly proud that she had brought $1,000 on the block. All her children had been sold away from her, but it was a long time ago, and now at sixty she was fat and seemingly without care. She had told her story to Mrs. Crane, who had more than once tried to persuade her to tell it to Clemens; but Auntie Cord was reluctant. One evening, however, when the family sat on the front veranda in the moonlight, looking down on the picture city, as was their habit, Auntie Cord came around to say good night, and Clemens engaged her in conversation. He led up to her story, and almost before she knew it she was seated at his feet telling the strange tale in almost the exact words in which it was set down by him next morning. It gave Mark Twain a chance to exercise two of his chief gifts--transcription and portrayal. He was always greater at these things than at invention. Auntie Cord's story is a little masterpiece.
He wished to do more with Auntie Cord and her associates of the farm, for they were extraordinarily interesting. Two other negroes on the place, John Lewis and his wife (we shall hear notably of Lewis later), were not always on terms of amity with Auntie Cord. They disagreed on religion, and there were frequent battles in the kitchen. These depressed the mistress of the house, but they gave only joy to Mark Twain. His Southern raising had given him an understanding of their humors, their native emotions which made these riots a spiritual gratification. He would slip around among the shrubbery and listen to the noise and strife of battle, and hug himself with delight. Sometimes they resorted to missiles--stones, tinware--even dressed poultry which Auntie Cord was preparing for the oven. Lewis was very black, Auntie Cord was a bright mulatto, Lewis's' wife several shades lighter. Wherever the discussion began it promptly shaded off toward the color-line and insult. Auntie Cord was a Methodist; Lewis was a Dunkard. Auntie Cord was ignorant and dogmatic; Lewis could read and was intelligent. Theology invariably led to personality, and eventually to epithets, crockery, geology, and victuals. How the greatest joker of the age did enjoy that summer warfare!
The fun was not all one-sided. An incident of that summer probably furnished more enjoyment for the colored members of the household than it did for Mark Twain. Lewis had some fowls, and among them was a particularly pestiferous guinea-hen that used to get up at three in the morning and go around making the kind of a noise that a guinea-hen must like and is willing to get up early to hear. Mark Twain did not care for it. He stood it as long as he could one morning, then crept softly from the house to stop it.
It was a clear, bright night; locating the guinea-hen, he slipped up stealthily with a stout stick. The bird was pouring out its heart, tearing the moonlight to tatters. Stealing up close, Clemens made a vicious swing with his bludgeon, but just then the guinea stepped forward a little, and he missed. The stroke and his explosion frightened the fowl, and it started to run. Clemens, with his mind now on the single purpose of revenge, started after it. Around the trees, along the paths, up and down the lawn, through gates and across the garden, out over the fields, they raced, "pursuer and pursued." The guinea nor longer sang, and Clemens was presently too exhausted to swear. Hour after hour the silent, deadly hunt continued, both stopping to rest at intervals; then up again and away. It was like something in a dream. It was nearly breakfast-time when he dragged himself into the house at last, and the guinea was resting and panting under a currant-bush. Later in the day Clemens gave orders to Lewis to "kill and eat that guinea-hen," which Lewis did. Clemens himself had then never eaten a guinea, but some years later, in Paris, when the delicious breast of one of those fowls was served him, he remembered and said:
"And to think, after chasing that creature all night, John Lewis got to eat him instead of me."
The interest in Tom and Huck, or the inspiration for their adventures, gave out at last, or was superseded by a more immediate demand. As early as May, Goodman, in San Francisco, had seen a play announced there, presenting the character of Colonel Sellers, dramatized by Gilbert S. Densmore and played by John T. Raymond. Goodman immediately wrote Clemens; also a letter came from Warner, in Hartford, who had noticed in San Francisco papers announcements of the play. Of course Clemens would take action immediately; he telegraphed, enjoining the performance. Then began a correspondence with the dramatist and actor. This in time resulted in an amicable arrangement, by which the dramatist agreed to dispose of his version to Clemens. Clemens did not wait for it to arrive, but began immediately a version of his own. Just how much or how little of Densmore's work found its way into the completed play, as presented by Raymond later, cannot be known now. Howells conveys the impression that Clemens had no hand in its authorship beyond the character of Sellers as taken from the book. But in a letter still extant, which Clemens wrote to Howells at the time, he says:
I worked a month on my play, and launched it in New York last Wednesday. I believe it will go. The newspapers have been complimentary. It is simply a setting for one character, Colonel Sellers. As a play I guess it will not bear critical assault in force.
The Warners are as charming as ever. They go shortly to the devil for a year--that is, to Egypt.
Raymond, in a letter which he wrote to the Sun, November 3, 1874, declared that "not one line" of Densmore's dramatization was used, "except that which was taken bodily from The Gilded Age." During the newspaper discussion of the matter, Clemens himself prepared a letter for the Hartford Post. This letter was suppressed, but it still exists. In it he says:
I entirely rewrote the play three separate and distinct times. I had expected to use little of his [Densmore's] language and but little of his plot. I do not think there are now twenty sentences of Mr. Densmore's in the play, but I used so much of his plot that I wrote and told him that I should pay him about as much more as I had already paid him in case the play proved a success. I shall keep my word.
This letter, written while the matter was fresh in his mind, is undoubtedly in accordance with the facts. That Densmore was fully satisfied may be gathered from an acknowledgment, in which he says: "Your letter reached me on the ad, with check. In this place permit me to thank you for the very handsome manner in which you have acted in this matter."
Warner, meantime, realizing that the play was constructed almost entirely of the Mark Twain chapters of the book, agreed that his collaborator should undertake the work and financial responsibilities of the dramatic venture and reap such rewards as might result. Various stories have been told of this matter, most of them untrue. There was no bitterness between the friends, no semblance of an estrangement of any sort. Warner very generously and promptly admitted that he was not concerned with the play, its authorship, or its profits, whatever the latter might amount to. Moreover, Warner was going to Egypt very soon, and his labors and responsibilities were doubly sufficient as they stood.
Clemens's estimate of the play as a dramatic composition was correct enough, but the public liked it, and it was a financial success from the start. He employed a representative to travel with Raymond, to assist in the management and in the division of spoil. The agent had instructions to mail a card every day, stating the amount of his share in the profits. Howells once arrived in Hartford just when this postal tide of fortune was at its flood:
One hundred and fifty dollars--two hundred dollars--three hundred dollars were the gay figures which they bore, and which he flaunted in the air, before he sat down at the table, or rose from it to brandish, and then, flinging his napkin in the chair, walked up and down to exult in.
Once, in later years, referring to the matter, Howells said "He was never a man who cared anything about money except as a dream, and he wanted more and more of it to fill out the spaces of this dream." Which was a true word. Mark Twain with money was like a child with a heap of bright pebbles, ready to pile up more and still more, then presently to throw them all away and begin gathering anew.

Gov. Jindal, Dow Chemical announce $1B investment
PLAQUEMINE - Dow Chemical announced plans today to build two new chemical plants in Louisiana and upgrade their current facility in Plaquemine.
The $1.06 billion plans include two new plants, one in Iberville Parish and the other in West Baton Rouge Parish, to produce next-generation synthetic rubber and high-performance polyethylene. The company said upgrades to the Plaquemine facility will improve its ethylene capacity.
Dow said the project will keep 1,380 existing workers and create 71 new direct jobs. They also estimated the work would create 470 new indirect jobs, as well as 1,200 construction jobs and 150 contractor jobs to support the new facilities.
Dow said they will start work on the Plaquemine ehtylene upgrades almost immediately, and expect to start work on the other two facilities by the end of 2013. They estimated work on the two plants will be done by 2016.

Take Donald Rumsfeld, lambasting the Iraqis for their mistreatment of US prisoners of war, paraded on TV like so much booty. How could Baghdad ignore the Geneva Convention, he raged on Sunday. And then, perhaps, he remembered.
Wasn't the Geneva Convention the same document he had cheerfully binned when it came to shackling al-Qaeda suspects at Camp X-Ray? It seemed little more than an irritant back then, a way for bleeding-heart busybodies to stop America locking up the bad guys. But, perhaps Rumsfeld is coming to see its value. The US might even be having similar pangs of regret about the United Nations. What a pain that body was in the lead-up to war. But it could be essential to governing a post-Saddam Hussein Iraq.
At least one faction, centred on Colin Powell's State Department, holds that view, believing that only a UN administration would attract funding from the rest of the world - and that a blue-helmeted presence would be less provocative to Iraq's people, and less likely to stir resistance, than an occupying force governing alone under the stars and stripes. In other words, a UN seal on a US victory would make US service men and women less vulnerable.
But this sudden realisation of the UN's value may have come too late. Jacques Chirac is in no hurry to give UN legitimacy to what he calls the US and British "belligerents". He believes Washington and London made this mess in Iraq - and they can clear it up.
British PM Tony Blair knows how much of a fix the warmaking coalition is in, hence his near-desperate plea on Tuesday for Europe and the US to come together and his trip to see the US President, George Bush, and the UN Secretary General, Kofi Annan. He knows that having snubbed the UN before the war, it won't be easy for them to win it over now.
The US fares no better as it accuses Russian companies of selling sensitive military kit - from night-vision goggles to radio jammers - to Iraq, in violation of UN sanctions and a raft of other arms control agreements. As Vladimir Putin might have reminded Bush in their Monday telephone call, arms accords didn't seem to matter much to the White House 18 months ago when it was threatening to tear up the anti-ballistic missile treaty.
Similarly, when Bush promises to prosecute Iraqi top brass for war crimes, he should pause to wonder which court might house such a trial. It surely can't be the International Criminal Court which the US derided from the start.
Whether it's POWs or rebuilding Iraq, arms or war crimes, Washington is learning the hard way that even a hyperpower cannot easily act alone. Not that the collective tools don't exist. They do and they were there for America to use, but the US didn't want to know. Mitchell understood: "You don't know what you've got till it's gone."
So will the US have a road to Baghdad conversion and change its ways, swapping its pre-war unilateralism for postwar multilateralism? No, says one Washington source. Collective ways of doing business are a matter of "convenience, not conviction" for the administration. It'll use the Geneva Convention or the UN if it suits its interests, he says, but drop them the second they stand in its way.
Why? Because the hawks in this administration believe in unilateralism as a matter of ideological faith. This is not a game or debating position - they are deadly serious. Witness hawkish outriders like David Frum and Richard Perle calling for the burial of the UN once and for all.
Take one more striking, practical illustration. In the months before war, a debate raged in the Pentagon between, crudely put, the uniforms and the suits. The soldiers wanted more time so they could build up the 250,000 troops that would constitute the "overwhelming force" favoured since the Gulf War as the only way to deploy US power. They wanted another month. But Pentagon civilians, led by the Defence Secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, insisted on going earlier, with many fewer men.
Why would a hawk like Rumsfeld prefer less to more? My Washington source offers an astonishing explanation: "So they can do it again." The logic is simple. Rumsfeld and co know that amassing an army of quarter of a million is a once-a-decade affair: 1991 and 2003. But if they can prove that victory is possible with a lighter, more nimble force, assembled rapidly, then why not repeat the trick?
"This is just the beginning," an administration official told The New York Times this week. "I would not rule out the same sequence of events for Iran and North Korea as for Iraq."
So Washington may be regretting its hasty shredding of international custom - some of those rules could have come in handy in this war - but the pangs will fade. After all, this is a band of men with big dreams - and work to do.

Email open rates rose to 23.8% in Q3 2011, representing 7.8% growth from 22% in Q3 2010 and 7.1% growth from 22.2% in Q2 2011, according to [download page] a December 2011 report from Epsilon and the Email Experience Council. Data from "Q3 2011 Email Trends and Benchmarks" indicates that click-through rates rose to 5.5% from 5.2% in Q2, but remain in line with rates seen in Q3 2010 (5.4%).
Non-bounce rates remained strong at 96.5%, while average volume per client increased by 14.9% from Q3 2010.
Among the categories examined, consumer products CPG (8.1%) had the best click rate, joining the financial services general (6.9%), financial services CC/banks (6.1%), and consumer services general (4.8%) categories in posting an increase of at least 5% compared to Q3 2010. The retail general (6.6%), travel/hospitality travel services (4.5%), and retail apparel (3.8%) categories all experienced year-over-year decreases of at least 5%.
The highest open rates were in the financial services CC/banks (38.6%), financial services general (32.5%), and retail general (27.8%) categories, while the best click to open rates (CTOR) were experienced by the consumer products CPG (43%), consumer publishing/media general (36.9%), and consumer services telecom (31.1%) categories.
Meanwhile, mobile platforms appear to be gaining ground when it comes to email viewership, earning 23% of views from April 2011 through September 2011, representing a 34% increase compared to the previous 6-month period, according to [download page] a December 2011 report from ReturnPath. Webmail (44%) and desktop (33%) remained more popular platforms for reading email, but decreased by 11% and more than 9% respectively.
According to a report released in November 2011 by Knotice, the share of all email opens occurring on mobile devices reached 20.24% in the first half of 2011, representing 51% growth from 13.36% in Q4 2010. iPhones accounted for 12.78% of all email opens in H1, up from 8.74% in Q4 2010, while iPads nearly doubled their share, up from 2% to 3.92% during the same time period.
ReturnPath also found growing use of iPads: email views on the device jumped by 12% between March, when the iPad 2 launched, and April, and then grew 73% between April and September.
ReturnPath's research indicates a big dip in desktop email usage over the weekend, with a corresponding rise in mobile and webmail use. However, contrary to the prior 6-month period, which found a jump in webmail use on Sunday and a dip in mobile, the latest data found mobile and webmail use to be largely consistent on both Saturday and Sunday.
About the Data: The Epsilon study was compiled from 5.7 billion emails sent by Epsilon in Q3 2011, across multiple industries and approximately 140 participating clients. The ReturnPath study used data from more than 200 different clients and examined more than 400 million data points. For email views by industry, the report looked at a subset of the 200 clients that fit into the categories reported.

Hi i've already got the whole site design but i cant transfer/program it into opencard.
Thats the reason for searching right now – i'm willing to pay 50€ for the work
Best regards, Ben
No offense – I hope you don't get me wrong, but you would NEVER find someone to do this within your budget!
Just to give you a rough direction – I would never touch such job for less than $2000 (for a BASIC design and functionality if I have the time for such thing of course) and I am definitely not the most expensive developer around. You would probably find offers a bit cheaper or a bit more expensive, but nothing near enough to 50 UER.
Wish you good luck with this project and keep in mind if someone agree to do it for 500 EUR (which is your price x10) – you would most probably find yourself into a trouble very, very soon.
Once again – no offense – just my 2 cents.
Thanks for reply – well never thought that it is so expensive – for sure you safed me much time that i may invested to find anyone for this.
Thanks again You're welcome – have a nice day

Martha Law McIntyre
Martha was born on a tobacco farm near Callands, Virgina on Dec. 11, 1912, the first child of Thomas and Evelyn Hubbard. She had fond memories of living on the farm and said that she learned from her father to never be afraid and to stand up for what you think is right. She continued to do that until the end of her life.
Some of the happiest times in Martha's life were her years in boarding school and a brief stay in nursing school (until they found out she was only 14). At the age of 18, in 1930 she met and married Leonard McIntyre in Reno, Nevada. After WWII, Martha and Leonard bought a home in West Seattle and settled down to raise their two boys. She never lost sight of her dream to see other parts of the world and in her later years traveled to many countries including Russia, China, Western Europe and South East Asia.
A remarkable woman, Martha was full on natural curiosity and innate intelligence. She never forgot her southern roots. Family and friends were what she valued most in life. She adored her two sons, Michael and Brent and her grand children Larkin, Caitlin and Madison. Martha passed away peacefully at the age of 94 on February 3, 2007 with her family near by. Her life was long and full and she has left a legacy behind based upon the things she learned at a young age on the tobacco farm in Virginia.

How much fun is that? Green Palm Inn in Savannah, GA — a top-rated Savannah bed and breakfast inn — was invited to share an evening with Savannah's pirates last week. Downtown Savannah's historic Pirates' House restaurant hosted a fund raiser for The Savannah Ocean Exchange ("Sharing Solutions that positively impact our ocean and coast").
Appropriately labeled "Pirates of the Low Country" we celebrated 250 years of Low Country Cuisine. Food stations were strategically placed around the dining room of Savannah's oldest restaurant. Each era of Savannah's history had a food theme. First the 1700's – "The Pirates" – showcased Pirate's Cornish Pasties and Swashbucklers' Grilled Organic Vegetables. Next we came to the 1800's – Civil War Era – where we sampled Wild Georgia Shrimp and Stone Ground Grits, Sweet Potato Johnny Cakes with Apricot Jam and Duck Confit, Low Country Boil Lollipops with sweet corn reduction and finally BBQ pulled Pork on Crostini with Peach Chutney. Lastly was the 1900's – Modern Times – where we enjoyed Oysters Daufuskie and Carolina Smoked Trout with Red Pepper Jelly. Wine tasting tables were set up by Shannon Vineyards of Georgia with about 6 of their Muscadine wines to sample. We also taste tested Chatham Artillery Punch compliments of Savannah's Pirates' House restaurant.
What a fabulous idea as a fund raiser for The Savannah Ocean Exchange! Each participant received a gift bag with goodies from the many sponsors. Within that bag we found a pirate hat, gold coins, and discounts from some of our local merchants. We heard a little of the history and the focus of the Savannah Ocean Exchange which was quite informative. Hurrah for the money raised for such a good cause!
We must always protect our Georgia coast line, especially for the fabulous bounties from the sea!!!

Keeping the Peace
noticed its tall, silver form
long before naming it in my mind:
heron. It perched, utterly graceful and
still, on a fallen trunk that sloped down
into the creek we cross over every day.
Fog was rising from the water,
and I wished I could stop the car,
approach quietly with camera in hand,
and somehow arrest the moment—
then lift it, intact, to take with me
as an emblem for the day.
Instead I turned away
to face the road again,
letting the moment flick past
like the flipping of channels,
and swallowing my awareness
that we live in a world with—herons.
The children were slumped behind me,
only just lulled into a dubious harmony
that would no doubt be shattered
if we stopped, or if I called out
for them to notice this marvel,
already now behind us.
I envisioned
three heads swiveling,
eager to broaden their horizons
with the wonders of the natural world.
Then I pictured a careless elbow
clipping a seatmate on the chin,
and two sets of hands clawing
at the sibling with the prime view—
of this animal
who has had the good sense to freeze
as we go barreling past.
No, I decided
(and it felt ungenerous):
today I would choose to keep
this emblem of peace to myself,
not sharing it with them directly,
but thereby preserving
the absence of conflict in the backseat,
and the heron's solitary breakfast,
and perhaps most important,
that rare jewel—peace of mind—
for me.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by buddahfan, Feb 19, 2008.
I'm more worried about Lindsey cutting into our score than anybody's minutes.
A fair assessment.
I have no problem with that but you are panicking due to the ___________? a) 10 game winning streak? b) very easy stretch run for the team from mid March on? c) Knock on Wood, perfect health of the team d) Amir and Stuckey getting time finally? c) big 3 pistons coming out of the all star break healthy?
No I am just panicking because that is what I want to do, plus the thought of Hunter becoming the 1st guard off of the bench again. I think it is safe to assume that if Hunter had been the 1st guard off of our bench for the last 10 games that we wouldn't have a 10 game winning streak right now.
he can help stabalize things at times if you throw him out there with Stuckey/Amir/Max. A bit like what Sheed was doing with the bench Think of how much they could run if LH was generating TO's with Stuckey and Amir at the ready to run.
How about: Hunter Stuckey Afflalo Maxiell Johnson Just replace Hayes with Afflalo at the 3 for our high energy- steals lineup.
Yeah, but like I said, there's no evidence that anyone is thinking of making him the first guard off the bench once he's back on the active list.
Yea, but Buddah likes to believe the sky is falling whenever possible. If you read between the lines carefully in that story, McCosky also states that Larry Brown will be taking over the team for the playoffs, Ben Wallace will be traded for Rasheed Wallace, and Hooper will be replaced by a team of sled dogs.
It's traditional for veterans to be given a chance to fail before rookies are given a chance to succeed, sometimes repeated chances. This promotes good locker room chemistry.
It's better to create "your own world" than doin' nuttin'
I saw this coming a few weeks ago. I predicted that Hunter would be phased back into the line-up in mid March; ...and the doom and gloomers would be out in full force. Relax dudes! - Lindsey is a ROLE player. And one of the best on-ball defenders in "the association" to boot! He'll be a situational guy that will come in when defense is needed to cool down a hot scorer and/or throw some traps at a team. He's not gonna be the first guard off of the bench, is he Flip? ....ummmm, uhhhh Flip?
I like this idea as long as he's not the first guard off the bench, like many stated. I wouldn't have a problem with him if he took the majority of Afflalo's minutes and it was just Hunter and Stuckey coming off the bench, with Afflalo seeing spot minutes. I think it would work good with Stuckey playing point and Lindsay playing the two guard much like Afflalo does right now. They both have the same game with Lindsay being a veteran. Plus this is his last year, so it's not like he's gonna be hurting Afflalo too much. We'll see how it works out. I just hope Flip doesn't use Hunter as the first guard off the bench, and I don't think he will. Flip has been coaching great lately.
Tell me its not true.
Couldn't care less what order he comes into the game as long as Stuckey's, and to a lesser degree, Afflalo's mins remain fairly similar and consistent to what they have been. Perhaps he can help shave another 1 to 2 mins off of Tay, Rip and C$ time.
You know, it is possible to do sometin' in "the real world".
Hunter is my favorite player.
I too love "old man river" but the plus minus since the 05' season is not pretty.
Hunter in street clothes tonight. Nice thread, Buddahfan.
Seriously though. Love the guy but I thought he should have retired. But who knows he did have that one good game earlier so maybe he can help. Afflalo did not make a good case for himself last night, Hunter would have scored at least 1 point in 20 mins.
Now I'm starting to worry. I think Hunter is essential to our playoff success. He is the only one we have who can stop quick, penetrating guards like Rondo.

punishers are very respectful. great people! not a slimy "sledge" that get's "chased" over silly stuff. nice guys with nice families!The Sons I've met are cool guys and seem to just mind their own business and treat everyone else with respect. In return, they get it back. That works for me. I'd hang with those guys anytime. The Punishers (Watn Chapt), on the other hand, acted like a bunch of arrogant tools who [email protected] where they ate, and now they're gone, gone, gone. Anyone see the connection? Bikers, like em or hate em, are at their core, people, just like everyone else. If you act like a tool, Mr. Punisher, prepare to be treated like one.

Let's not single any individuals out. No need to. The group as a whole carried themselves poorly. They had a bad attitude, and people got sick and tired of it.
And btw, the Watertown Punishers should be referred to in the past tense only (as in "were", not "are") unless you're writing about their status, as in "they are history".

first thing the most of you are bashing the punisher not knowing all of them,and making statements that arnt 100% true.ya they may get alittle crazy but everyone cuts lose now and then.as far as drug dealing,gun smuggling,and all that other shit it isnt true.ya they had some misguided members but things have been reworked.and as far as who is dating who remember it takes two so they must make each other complet.they have a strong brotherhood and would do any thing for each other,as they would for any one who needs it.it is true that most of the guys are family men so dont bash the whole club because you only see the actions of the the guys who are single,hell everyone needs some loving dont they?you also cant realy sit there and talk crap about the guys that work in a bar,they are only doing thier job so if your one of the guys that kicked out then you shouldnt have done something wrong.and as far as under age drinking why dont you try to police 200 or so peolpe when there is only 10 bouncers in the place.they do the best job they can and it seems funny that you trash talk but its the only dance club left in town.all in all the punishers are just a group of guys who want to ride together and be left alone,they dont like to start things but they wont back down.you have never seen them start any thing but according to most of you they have finnished them.ps. they are still around laying low doing their own thing,but they are still out there.

Thats a funny post! I've hung out with them a numerous occasions, I've ridden with them a few times. I know them all by name, from the cub president down to the lowest prospect. I've drank with them at Crazy Legs too. Let me tell you as much as I like those guys they ARE a bunch of criminals. I'm surprised you never heard of the famous gang-bang incident with the drunk girl on the pool table at Crazy Legs. The drugs, beatings, rapes, the list goes on. Just because they are a law enforcement groups (and some of them are not, but thats another story) doesn't mean they don't f- people up for fun every once and a while.
#32 Jun 16, 2012
the Son's are cool with me
#33 Jun 17, 2012
so you hung out with them? i say you are full of shit. In fact, i know for a fact you are full of shit because i know for a fact the statements you made are full of shit. In fact, I am willing to bet that your eyes are brown due to the fact that you are compacted full of shit. You are just a little spiteful twirp who sits on the internet making up shit about organizations just for kicks. So why do you make up stories denny?

Nobody cares about the "suspended punishers" quit talking about the idiots under sons of Phoenix!
#37 Jun 19, 2012
Suspended punishers? Are they a bungee jumping club? if so, then the name "Suspended Punishers" would be appropriate.
However, you are refering to Punisher MC. The MC stands for "motorcycle club" which means they ride. Not that some of you ignorant fuckers could ever comprehend that.
Perhabs, some of you ignoranuses should learn is to not judge something that you are incapable of ever understanding.
Seriously, what have the Punishers LEMC done wrong? Here a few anwsers to some questions that some of you may have?
1) do they commit crimes? Nope, they are an LEMC. Most of the guys in the club are government employees in some form and organized criminal activity would be the end of there careers whether it be military, law enforcement, state, or city employee. 2) Do they have prostitution/drug rings? Well first, read #1. If you have not figured out that the anwser is no then please make a fist and punch yourself as hard you can in the head.
3) Do they cheat on there wives? No, divorces would mean that they wouldn't have any money. They also wouldn't have anyone to pose in lingerie except for prospects.
4) Do they turn into bats and fly around at night looking to suck peoples blood? Nope, blood these days is overrated.
5) Are they really terminator robots with no souls? No, even though they had a couple get run over by cars and yet were strong to pull through from the love and respect they got from fellow members of the club in which I could see where there would be rumors that they are actually machines.
6) Are they mad scientist looking to take of the watertown area with automated motorcycles? No
7) Do they beat people up everywhere they go? Um no
8) Do they masturbate? yes

Question on estimate vs. HP unit
Hi all, newbie here, been reading the forums for a long time now for various things and decided no better time than now to register since I have a question to ask that could potentially cost me thousands lol.
So anyhow, for the last 4yrs. our sole heat source has been a Hotblast 1557M burning about 95% wood and 5% coal. I'm finally to the point where I can afford to have a heat pump and electric furnace/air handler installed. So, today one of the contractors I called showed up for the free estimate. He turned out to be a pretty cool guy, and gave me the history of his family-owned/operated HVAC company. I've been doing a lot of research on local contractors, and he/his company has a great track-record for installation as well as service-calls, so as far as his company goes, I feel very comfortable hiring him.
However, for my question... After we did a lot of talking, he did his walk around, etc. He gave me a written estimate of $3,500 for the install.. this includes everything except the two 60 amp breakers I need which I told him I would pick up (a family friend is an electrician and has all the breakers my heart could desire lol). This also includes a new plenum, as well as re-routing the current 8" ducts I have coming out of my wood furnace into the homes duct work (the hotblast will still be, for the most part, our primary heat source as I get all my firewood for free just gotta work for it).. The manufacturer he said he would get is Armstrong.. air handler w/ 15kw strip and variable speed blower and 2.5 ton 14 SEER, 8.5 HSPF rating..
So, with that info, how does this deal sound to you all? As far as the price goes, it sounds like a pretty darn good deal, however I'm having trouble finding some good, personal knowledge/experience with Armstrong. I just don't wanna jump on this cause of the deal, only to find out the unit or units are junk and need constant fixing.
Thanks in advance for any/all help.
Armstrongs ok.
Cheap price for a heat pump install.
So where do you live countryboy?
Heat pump effectiveness changes with the climate.:whistling2:

How to Easily Find Freelance Work –
Ok so the economy has gone to the tubes, 1 out of 10 people are unemployed, and most businesses are on a hiring freeze. Sounds like a perfect time to close your eyes, cross your fingers, and hope you have steady income through the next few years. Although this is a horrible time to find a job, feel safe, and live a lifestyle you want, it is the perfect time to be a consultant.
Have I gone mad? I don't think so. The demand for experts to advice companies on ways to operate more efficiently has increased tremendously during this economy. The increase in costs above an employee's salary has also made a contract/freelance position look much sweeter to the employer. Combine these reasons and the increase in online freelance marketplaces and you have a recipe for opportunity, if you want to take it.
So where is all of the work out there? Let's look at the top three areas to find freelance work.
1. Staffing Companies
I like to list staffing companies first because this is an arrangement where they will work for you. Staffing companies look at thousands of positions and try to fill them with contract workers. They make their money by charging a bit more over your hourly rate. Link up with staffing companies that focus in your skill set (technology, management, manufacturing, etc.). Build a good relationship with these companies and you will have opportunities sent to you daily.
2. Online Marketplaces
There are projects sitting out there waiting for you. You just need to know where to find them. There are many freelance marketplaces that have thousands of opportunities for work. You can browse through available projects and bid on the ones that interest you. Lead time for these projects is short because all of the efficiencies of doing it online. Some very popular marketplaces are: eLance.com, Guru.com, oDesk.com, and ifreelance.com.
Don't forget to also check out job boards on CareerBuilder.com, Monster.com, Hotjobs.com, and Dice.com for contract positions. In addition to these sites there are many listings posted on Craigslist.org. For these sites it always helps to search locally first. Many customers posting here will probably want to meet face to face.
3. Use Your Connections
The easiest jobs you will get are through people that already know and trust you. Take advantage of this by notifying your contacts about your freelance capabilities. Let them know about the services you offer and ask them if they need any help. In addition, start a blog and website to post helpful information and project examples. This will prove your expertise and show you are knowledgeable in your industry.

It's perfectly normal to be a bit worried if you notice any small growths on your penis. It's possible that you might have pearly penile papules, or if you've ever had sexual contact, you could have genital warts. Read on to learn more about PPP.
What are pearly penile papules and what do they look like?
Pearly penile papules (PPP) are small, benign (non-cancerous) growths. PPP can be pink, white, yellow, or (rarely) translucent in color. They're normally very small, ranging from 1-2mm wide by 1-4mm long. The shape, color, and size can vary between individuals, but all the papules that one person has will look the same. The papules are usually found in a single or double row on or around the head of the penis.
Why do some guys have PPP?
Experts aren't completely sure why some guys have PPP. Since PPP aren't harmful in any way, they are also considered a normal skin variation. Additionally, guys can have PPP regardless of their race, geographic location, or sexual preference. Several reports say that uncircumcised guys may be more likely to have them than those who are circumcised.
Are PPP contagious?
No. PPP are not contagious. You can't get them through contact with a person who has them, and there is no way you can "infect" someone with them through sexual contact.
Are PPP genital warts?
No, PPP are not the same as genital warts. Genital warts are caused by HPV; a sexually transmitted infection. They are small, cauliflower shaped growths that can also develop on or around a guys' anus, thighs, groin, scrotum, penis, lips, mouth, tongue, or throat. Unlike PPP, genital warts are contagious.
I think I might have PPP, should I see my health care provider?
Yes. If you're ever concerned about any lumps or bumps on your genital region, you should make an appointment with your health care provider or dermatologist.
What is the treatment for PPP?
Health care providers prefer to leave PPP alone, because the papules don't impose any risk on your health. Do NOT try to pick at them or pop them, and do NOT use an over the counter "wart remover" – these medicines are not meant for use on your penis.
I have PPP – is there anything to worry about?
No! PPP are harmless skin growths. Although it's completely normal to be concerned at first; once you know the facts, there's really nothing to worry about.

Forecourt closures
According to the 2012 retail marketing survey published by the energy Institute, there were 8480 fuel forecourts (petrol stations, if you will) in the UK at the end of last year. Twelve months earlier, there were 8892, so on average slightly more than one such outlet was closed every day in 2011.
This is part of a much bigger trend. The record year for petrol stations was 1967. How many do you think there were then, if there are 8480 - or probably slightly less - today. Ten thousand, maybe? No. in 1967 there were 39,958.
Anyway back to the modern era. The largest fuel retailer in the country is BP, which at the end of 2011 had 1178 outlets, which was actually four mor than a year earlier. The next four are Esso, Shell, Texaco and Total, which on average closed around 46 each.
All of this was despite there being an extra 600,000 cars on the road, or at least potentially on the road - the number of registered vehicles rose from 34.1 million to 34.7 million.
Mind you, by the end of the year we were buying less fuel than we were at the start - 27.77 million tonnes of petrol and diesel together. compared with the previous 28.07 million. that might have had something to do with average fuel costs, which absolutely skyrocketed from 117.16p to 133.60p per litre for petrol and from 119.51p to 138.90p per litre of diesel.

1963 Chevy Truck Door Panels
1 Attachment(s)
Anyone have any ideas on where I may be able to find these inside door panels for a 1963 Chevy C10?
I have been searching the internet and parts catalogs (LMC, etc) and have not had any luck. Things I am finding include: LMC sells 64-66 only, etc.
Any help is appreciated.
1960-1963 will fit. Ebay or junkyards.

Cute Overload: Ben Affleck Takes Violet & Seraphina On A Sunday Outing [PHOTOS]
Ben Affleck was spotted at the Pacific Palisades Farmer's Market on Sunday (August 12) accompanied by his ridiculously cute daughters, Violet and Seraphina. Look at how long Seraphina's hair is! I love nothing more than tiny children with loads of hair.Cute children alert! Proud papa
The trio enjoyed a stroll through the stalls as well as some samples of the local fruits. Imagine having Ben Affleck just waltz over to your stall and ask for a strawberry sample. Oh the life in LA. I wonder where mama Jennifer Garner was with the brand new baby boy? Probably off doing something cute. You know how these celebrities are.
Where would the Garner-Affleck family fall on your list of favorite celebrity families? They'd definitely make my top 10, but am I quite partial to the Neil Patrick Harris-David Burtka family. Check out the adorable photos in the gallery then tell us your picks in the comments!

QL issue
We've had some bitter cold here last few days, and today driving to work I received the "service suspension immediately" notification. Suspension stuck in aero mode. I've had no problems with it up to this point. Could the temp have anything to do with this? Thanks.
Re: QL issue
This is not specifically your problem, but does indicate that temperature can have an effect. From WK2Jeeps.com.
"When the air suspension compressor has to run for a significant period of time or the air suspension system is being used a lot by the driver, the compressor may need to cool down. This is normal and should not require service. There are times when the system will need to make up a significant amount of air. This can occur with large changes in ambient air temperature or if service has been done on the system and lost air has not been replaced.
A message will be displayed on the EVIC indicating the compressor is cooling down and there will be a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) set. The DTC in the ASCM module does not necessarily indicate service is needed. If the EVIC message and DTC occurs often, it may be an indication of a leak in the system."
Re: QL issue
Re: QL issue
I've read a hand full of posts else where of individuals that have experienced issues with extreme cold and the QL not wanting to go up or down (within the past couple of days). All reported once it "warmed" up things returned to normal.
Guess with this polar vortex and the extreme cold we are starting to see the kind of havoc it can cause on various systems.
Update, after it warmed up to a balmy 20 degrees QL worked fine. Very strange.
Re: QL issue
I had the same exact problem this morning. Started the car and after a few minutes I got an error message in the EVIC saying "Air Suspension Failure - Immediate Repair/Service Required". Definitely not comforting to see at the start of my commute. I didn't notice a change in the ride height or overall drivability so I pressed on.
A few things I noticed:
1) I didn't hear the compressor cycle on whatsoever.
2) The system held the ride height and air pressure without issue.
3) There were none of the typical QL warning sign of an impending QL failure (increased compressor activity to compensate for leaks/low pressure, ect.)
Initially, I suspected the fuse for the air suspension circuit had blown. Rather than fiddle around with a sophisticated system (and one of which I'm not too familiar with), I scheduled an appointment with Jeep to bring in the car around noon.
To my amazement, the QL system was fully operational when I started it up to drive to the dealer for my appointment. No symptoms of the earlier issue, no fault message in the EVIC, and no deficiencies in the system's performance. :confused: I was relieved as I really couldn't afford the time of leaving the office today.
Obviously, the QL system is affected by extremely cold temperatures. I can't say if the behavior a few of us have observed is by design or by a design oversight. There is a TSB issued for the QL system in which our symptoms are sort of mentioned - and it could very well be intended to rectify our exact problem - but the language used is ambiguous, at best. I'm planning to bring in my GC to the dealership this week to have the stored QL diagnostic fault codes read by their equipment and I'll report back. I'm also going to insist they perform the previously referenced TSB.
Re: QL issue
Once I flushed all the ice out from under the vehicle, it would move up and down nicely at below zero temps, rising from park/entry and dropping into aero and out.
I have had mine in two times for this and it is going in for the third on Monday. The tech is pulling trouble codes off the system but cannot find anything wrong. He did a software update this last time that did nothing. The colder it is the sooner it comes on at this point everything is pointing to another software glitch.

Re: QL issue
Came across this some place else. For the pre-2014 folks and it specifically mentioned extreme cold:
GROUP: Electrical
DATE: May 10, 2012
Flash: Service Air Suspension Message And/Or U0415-00 And/Or C159E-15 Set
This bulletin involves reprogramming the Air Suspension Control Module (ASCM) with new software.
2011 - 2012 (WK) Grand Cherokee
NOTE: This bulletin applies to vehicles equipped with Quadra-Lift (TM) Air
Suspension (sales code SER) built before May 1, 2012 (MDH 0501XX).
The customer may experience a Service Air Suspension message. Upon further
investigation the Technician may find that U0415-00 Impliable Data Received From
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) or C159E-15 Air Pump Temperature Sensor has been set active or stored.
Also if the vehicle is driven in extremely cold temperatures (-30C/-22F) the ASCM should be updated with the new software. The new software will allow the air compressor to continue to operate until -40C/-40F.
Updating the software will correct the conditions listed above.
Re: QL issue
Mine is a 2014 but I will take this in with me tonight anyway thanks TurboRush

We can't just ban cars right away! The crazy car nuts wouldn't let it happen. We need to slowly chip away at their rights! We should make all vehicles have mandatory back up sensors and bumper mounted rearview cameras. No grandfather clause. Also, everyone should have to retake drivers ed and their driving test with a new segment on backing. Later, we can limit drivers licences only to people who commute more than 20 miles to work. I estimate this will reduce car backing up over pedestrian related deaths by 15,000 per year.
On a more serious note, I drive a lifted truck with no backup sensors, so I have no way of seeing kids behind me. I always back into parking spaces, and before I start backing, I give my horn 2 quick beeps. It's mandatory on govt vehicles, so it can't hurt to do it in the truck too.

Homeless Man Mocked In VIdeo Made For Justin Timberlake Wants An Apology
CNN reports that the homeless man included in a mock video produced by a friend of Justin Timberlake's for his wedding celebration wants Timberlake to visit him on Skid Row.
Accompanied by Gloria Allred, the man, called Eddie, held a news conference on Skid Row on Monday.
He said: "I just want Justin Timberlake to come and talk to me about the things he can do to help us people that's down and out and that's lost things in our lives and not back on track."
Allred said that Timberlake and his friends should "take action to provide meaningful assistance to Eddie and others like him." She added: "This issue is not just about fans being upset or anyone being offended by a video. It is about people being down on their luck and in desperate need of help by those who are in a position to provide it. Mr. Timberlake, you, and your friends and others are in a position to provide that help."
The video was called "Greetings From Your Hollywood Friends Who Just Couldn't Make It". It wasn't shown at the wedding, which took place in Italy in October. Allred said it was produced for a related event. Eddie was one of several people in the video who are shown in the video, wishing the two well.
Eddie said that while he was paid $40 to appear in the video, he didn't know it would make fun of him and his friends. He said in the video: "Jessica and Justin, I haven't seen y'all in a long time. My gift is in the mail."
He added at the conference: "We're human beings and we need to be noticed and appreciated, just like other people. Not just to take a video of a person and put it in a rich wedding and everybody laugh about it, or whatever, like it was a joke on the homeless people."
Timberlake write a letter on his website in which he apologized for the "silly, unsavory" video. He said it was made by his "knucklehead" friend without his cooperation or knowledge. He said: "I don't live my life making fun of people (unless, of course, I'm making fun of myself on SNL)… Especially, those who are less fortunate or those in need. I grew up with a family and community that instilled ideals in me like hard work, honesty and empathy."
He added that he wasn't involved but "by association, I am holding myself accountable."
Eddie has lived on the streets for "six or seven years" and was hoping for a job as a clerk, custodian, caretaker or construction worker. He said: "Once upon a time, I did have a job and was living good, and my mother passed and a lot of things hurt me within myself and by me not having a job, I kind of fell short of money. And you know, if you don't have any finances, you don't have nothing to pay rent or anything like that you become on the street."
Next Friday will be his 58th birthday, which he'll spend on the street just like he did Christmas. His only family members are two daughters who live in another state.

Currently I'm a nanny, I also have my CNA, and have finished my nursing pre-requisites. I started off heading for nursing school, wanting to work L&D, and then later become a midwife with my own practice. Until last week, no one (as in teachers and mentors) had ever mentioned that I could become a midwife without being a nurse. If so I would have done this long ago, as I really don't like the idea of working for a hospital.
So anyway...here I am, trying to figure out all this new information I have available. I want to do homebirths, I want to be able to study on my own, but I'm just not clearly understanding the licencing, I think. I'm in CA and it seems the only option is for me to go through NMI to be licensed? But I really like the fact that I can get a degree from NCM. But if I go through NCM, how do I go about getting my license since it's not on the state's approved school list? I also don't understand what NARM has to do with any of it, or how a PEP works.
Can someone point me in the right direction or explain it all?
In my opinion if you have all ready done the prereqs for a ADN or BSN program and are a CNA then you should go for the RN route! I too just finished my pre-reqs and am a CNA. I start an ADN program this fall and plan to do a online BSN program then MSN. You do not have to work at a hospital as an RN. The clinic I went to for OB care with my son had RN's working at the clinic who were all hoping to become CNMs and then once they become CNM's they work in the birth center.
Have you been accepted to a RN program yet? Are you on a waitlist? If you're accepted I'd say don't turn down a good thing since there are so many other pre-nursing students out there that wish they could finish their prereqs with good enough grades to get into nursing school. If you are on a wait list how long is the wait? If it is only a year, maybe become a doula while you wait. But if the wait list is as long as a direct entry midwife program would be then I guess doing the direct route would be best. You could always go back to school to become an RN after the wait if you want.
be good family...
If you decide to pursue an ADN, Frontier Nursing School has an online/distance option called the "Bridge" which helps you transition from an ADN to a MSN in Nurse-Midwifery. This is a school that many CNMs who attend homebirths use.
