HUNDREDS of graduate nurses have written to their union in a desperate plea for help to find work.
It comes as new data reveals the number of applicants being offered places in the Government's graduate nursing employment program has fallen from 84 per cent to 60 per cent over the past five years.
Australian Nursing Federation state secretary Mark Olson said the union had received hundreds of emails over the past few months from graduate nurses worried because they had been unable to find work.
A selection of the emails provided to The Sunday Times shows some of the issues raised by the graduates include hours being cut back and having offers of permanent work withdrawn.
"I was working as an enrolled nurse at Fremantle Hospital and verbally promised a permanent position at the end of my graduate program if I signed up for a registered nurse program. At completion of my RN grad program the offer was reneged and I was offered casual employment," one nurse wrote.
"All graduates at RPH (Royal Perth Hospital) had their hours cut down from 75 hours to 70 hours in 2013," another email said.
Mr Olson said the union had been contacted by hundreds of graduates who had been unable secure permanent full-time positions in the public health sector.
The union and the State Government are currently involved in wages negotiations in the WA Industrial Relations Commission.
Mr Olson said Royal Perth Hospital acting nursing director Robyn Kovac told the commission on Friday no graduates were offered 80-hour-a-fortnight full-time work.
Mr Olson said they were "forced into" part-time work.
WA Health Department data shows since 2010 the number of graduates applying for the Government's graduate nursing employment program has grown 67 per cent.
However, the number of places offered has grown only 20 per cent and just 651 of the 1085 graduates who applied for this year's program were successful.
Health Minister Kim Hames said there was "enormous opportunity" for nurses and midwives in WA and anecdotal evidence suggested the state employed a higher percentage of new graduates than other states.
Opposition Health spokesman Roger Cook said nursing shortages were one of the biggest issues in the future of healthcare in WA.
The ANF and the Health Department will continue their negotiations in the WA Industrial Relations Commission this week.
The union wants to form a committee with the department to help graduate nurses find jobs.
Dr Hames said the authority already coordinates a committee for graduate nurses and midwives.

Gregory the Great's biography of Benedict portrays not only a holy man, but a wonder worker. Whether or not the miracles in Gregory's life of Benedict happened exactly as related is beside the point. The fact is, they are fun. They are full of didactic entertainment and earthy humour. It is both entertaining and instructive that Benedict thought the blackbirds were demons. Perhaps they were. There is something demonic about blackbirds, and it makes a good story—like something out of Edgar Allen Poe. In the legends there's one soberingly funny story about an enemy of Benedict's who sent seven ladies to dance in the monastery garden to tempt the young monks. Later a building fell down and killed the evil man. Of course the saint was sorry for his enemy's death, but it does sound like the time Elisha summoned a bear to maul the lads who mocked his bald-headedness.
It's fun to think the miracles happened, but the main problem is not whether they happened or not, but whether they matter. Certainly Benedict himself would have taken a sanguine attitude to such phenomena. As Theresa of Avila was annoyed and embarrassed by her levitation, so Benedict would probably have been more concerned about the novices being late for matins than about making an iron pruning hook float for a Gothic peasant. Benedict would have been unconcerned about difficulties of miracles because he was more concerned with the difficulties of real life. He could have rephrased the Lord's command and said, 'Take no thought for miracles, today has enough worries to concern you.'
Benedict's concern for the detail of daily life comes through his rule. There we have his portrait, and the person we meet is a wise, dignified and loving man. He is thoughtful and compassionate while also being shrewd and strict. The mystic side of his character is shown in his experience one night when praying. Suddenly it seemed to him that 'the whole world seemed to be caught up into one sunbeam and gathered thus before his eyes.' He died in the monastic chapel where he received communion, and then passed away like Moses, standing erect for battle with his outstretched arms supported by his monks.

I have read some weird things about BT keyboards and DINC, like we do not have 2.1 bt, but really have 1.6 bt. Can anyone tell me if they have success with bt keyboards and the phone? And on top of that if emulators (or any game) work with the keyboard? I do not own any bt keyboard, if I find out it can work, I will hopefully get dinovo.

c-Myc (D84C12) Rabbit mAb (Alexa Fluor® 647 Conjugate) detects endogenous levels of total c-Myc protein. This antibody is not recommended for detection of Myc-tagged fusion proteins; for detection of Myc-tagged fusion proteins, use Myc-Tag (9B11) Mouse mAb (Alexa Fluor® 647 Conjugate) #2233.Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat Species predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology: Dog, Pig
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to amino-terminal residues of c-Myc protein.
This Cell Signaling Technology antibody is conjugated to Alexa Fluor® 647 fluorescent dye and tested in-house for direct flow cytometry analysis in human cells. The antibody is expected to exhibit the same species cross-reactivity as the unconjugated c-Myc (D84C12) Rabbit mAb #5605.
Members of the Myc/Max/Mad network function as transcriptional regulators with roles in various aspects of cell behavior including proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis (1). These proteins share a common basic-helix-loop-helix leucine zipper (bHLH-ZIP) motif required for dimerization and DNA-binding. Max was originally discovered based on its ability to associate with c-Myc and found to be required for the ability of Myc to bind DNA and activate transcription (2). Subsequently, Max has been viewed as a central component of the transcriptional network, forming homodimers as well as heterodimers with other members of the Myc and Mad families (1). The association between Max and either Myc or Mad can have opposing effects on transcriptional regulation and cell behavior (1). The Mad family consists of four related proteins; Mad1, Mad2 (Mxi1), Mad3 and Mad4, and the more distantly related members of the bHLH-ZIP family, Mnt and Mga. Like Myc, the Mad proteins are tightly regulated with short half-lives. In general, Mad family members interfere with Myc-mediated processes such as proliferation, transformation and prevention of apoptosis by inhibiting transcription (3,4).

The biggest developing story in the last 24 hours is the Rams' increased interest in Vanderbilt QB Jay Cutler. The Rams are correct in believing the Cardinals are targeting Cutler with the 10th pick. As a result, the Rams have been working the phones trying to bait the Lions (No. 9) or Bills (No. 8) into a trade that would allow them to move ahead of the Cardinals for Cutler.
The Lions have not been overly receptive, as they have their sights set on Texas DB Michael Huff. Should Huff be off the board when the Lions go on the clock, they might change their mind. In the meantime, St. Louis will continue to work with the Bills, who have shown far more interest in dealing.
Bills coach Dick Jauron is reportedly eager to trade up for the two players he covets most from this year's class -- Virginia OT D'Brickashaw Ferguson and Ohio State OLB A.J. Hawk. Unfortunately, general manager Marv Levy does not feel it is prudent to mortgage a second-round pick to move up for Ferguson or Hawk. Although Levy isn't necessarily sold on the idea of moving at all, he is far more receptive to trading down.

A sheriff is an elected law enforcement official for a county. Sheriffs usually have policing jurisdiction over unincorporated areas of the county, though in some states, sheriffs have jurisdiction throughout the state.
In many locations, the sheriff also runs the county jail.
The sheriff keeps records on criminal arrests, incidents reported to the sheriff, traffic collision reports, and other records. Many of these records are available to the public.

Whilst the Review of the Manufactured Homes (Residential Parks) Act 2003 (Qld) (the Act) continues, the Commercial & Consumer Tribunal (the Tribunal) has provided some further guidance as to the parameters of Section 71 of the Act and site rent increases performed outside of the terms of home owners' Site Agreements.
Billiet -v- Gray
The relevant facts of this case were as follows:
- Two Site Agreements were in operation at the Park - one used prior to the enactment of the Act and one used after.
- Both Site Agreements provided for an annual CPI increase and a market rent review to occur every 3 years.
- In September 2006, the park owner performed a market rent review, which increased the site rent by $6.00 per week.
- In September 2007, the park owner performed an annual site rent increase pursuant to the CPI.
- On 10 June 2008, the park owner notified a proposed site rent increase of $27.50 per week calculated by way of a market rent review issued under Section 71 of the Act.
- In September 2008, the park owner gave notice of an annual site rent increase pursuant to the CPI of 4.8%. However, the park owner informed home owners not to pay that increase. The evidence was not clear as to how many home owners had paid and had not paid that increase.
- Seventy home owners did not agree to the proposed site rent increase under Section 71 of the Act. The park owner therefore was required to commence Tribunal proceedings under Section 71(7) of the Act in order to confirm the proposed increase.
The Tribunal considered the previous District Court decision of Palmpoint Pty Ltd -v- The Residents of Bribie Pines Village & Ors and confirmed that:
"His Honour allowed the park owner to make a claim for a market review rental increase outside the terms of the site agreement, even though the site agreement contained a market review clause allowing for a market review every three years. In other words, a park owner can seek a market review rental increase at any time, despite the site agreement providing for a three yearly market review.
Based on this decision the respondents are entitled to make a claim for an increase in site rent, notwithstanding the provision in the site agreement that permits the site rent to be adjusted annually by CPI or every three years pursuant to a market review."
The Tribunal also considered the evidence of a registered valuer as to the market site rent applicable at the Park and found that:
"I accept the evidence of Mr Gees. His report has been carefully prepared and I am satisfied that the market rent for a site at the park is $130.00 per site per week."
The Tribunal then considered each of the factors referred to in Section 70(3)(a)-(j) of the Act. In respect of Section 70(3)(i) of the Act, concerning whether or not the increase is fair and equitable, the Tribunal noted that:
- All Site Agreements provided for an annual CPI increase and a market rent review to occur every 3 years.
- The majority of home owners in the Park are pensioners "who have to be very careful with their money".
- For short term financial planning, those residents would rightly assume that the increases in the Site Agreement would be complied with. Any other increase "would impose a significant burden on their financial position".
- Many residents provided sworn evidence that the proposed rent increase would adversely affect their lifestyles. The park owner accepted that the proposed increase would have a significant impact on pensioners.
- The Site Agreement and Section 17(e) of the Act impose a statutory obligation for the park owner to comply with the terms of the Site Agreement.
- If both the Section 71 market rent review increase and the Section 69 annual increase, both performed in 2008, were allowed, it would be unjust and inequitable.
In conclusion, the Tribunal found that:
"In the circumstances of this case, the fair and equitable issues are very important factors to be considered when assessing this proposed rental increase. I am satisfied that an increase in the market rental to $130.00 per week is unfair and inequitable and especially before the 2009 market review due in September 2009.
I am satisfied that the respondents are entitled to the CPI increase from the date the notice of the increase in 2008. However, I am not satisfied that the respondents are entitled to any further increase at this time."
The Decision illustrates that a park owner must show cogent reasons for utilising Section 71 of the Act to perform an increase in the site rent in a manner other than as provided for in site agreements. It is important that park owners consider this aspect of Section 71 prior to notifying home owners of such an increase.
Review of the Act
By way of further update, we have been informed that the Office of Parliamentary Counsel is currently in the process of drafting an amendment Bill to the Act that will amend the Act following on from the Review. We expect the amended Bill to be completed and released early this year.
Once it has been prepared, the draft Bill will be distributed by the Office of Fair Trading to stakeholders for public comment and further consultation where necessary. This will occur prior to the Bill being presented to Parliament in final form.

Winter is stubborn about going away this year, but the show must go on for bridal and prom—and that's good news for fashion businesses because these markets provide relief from post-Christmas lulls. The retail fashion industry counts on bridal and prom to boost sales every spring. Fortunately much of the wholesale bridal and prom jewelry that fills their showcases, appeals to both markets.
The mushrooming size of prom spending caught national attention last year when the average spending broke the thousand dollar mark—a 34% increase in a single year. Most of this spending was with small business and mostly local businesses. The article in USA Today breaks it down by average spent on each item.
The number of students attending prom coast to coast is not easy to find, but there are about 4 million 12th grade students in the US and slightly less than half are girls. In addition, some schools have junior proms. Add these up and it's easy to see the impact this can have on small business.
As helpful as this is for small business, bridal business dwarfs it. Census figures for 2009 show over 2 million weddings and the Wedding Industry Statistics released by The Knot reports average cost at 27 thousand not counting the honeymoon. This is the kind of business that is important for the survival of small businesses. We need to be ready to fill their needs with the bridal and prom jewelry and accessories to suit their tastes.
When brides choose rhinestone necklace sets for wedding day jewelry, the choice is usually delicate designs. Most prefer simplicity—jewelry that is understated. Nothing too dramatic because the choice will be recorded in the wedding album for all future generations. Glancing through a bridal magazine, you see very little of this look, but still this is what the bridal shops are buying over and over. This is what is selling.
When we talk about bridal and prom jewelry overlapping, this look that brides-to-be want is exactly the look prom girls also want when they choose necklace sets to accessorize the dress. They love simplicity—Y necklaces, delicate V necklaces, small cascades, and single or double line chokers. Our customers catering to the prom market concentrate on these wholesale rhinestone sets the most. These delicate sets with clear rhinestones in silver plated settings are timeless. Every season, they remain number one.
Bridal magazines are showing another look that is popular—dramatic earrings and bracelets without a necklace. When prom girls want to accessorize without a necklace, the preference suddenly changes from delicate to dramatic—bold earrings and wide bracelets. Especially popular this year for prom is bracelet earring combinations in iridescent rhinestones or crystals.
Both rhinestone jewelry and crystal jewelry have the bold earrings and bracelets with iridescent stones. Rhinestone has a finer uniform style using rhinestone chain. Crystal has glued in or prong set stones that utilize a variety of sizes and shapes.
This choice in accessories is not only popular as prom jewelry, but is also gracing the pages of bridal magazines. As bridal jewelry, clear rhinestones and crystals are still preferred over iridescent, but dramatic combination is selling when brides-to-be choose to accessorize without a necklace.
Nothing matches pearl for elegance. While exceptional for bridal jewelry, faux pearl is seldom used for prom jewelry. So far, the crystal and rhinestone jewelry covered overlap for prom and bridal. Faux pearl jewelry is not limited to bridal even though it seldom accessorizes prom. This pearl jewelry fills needs accessorizing a nice suit or dress for church, luncheons, and teas.
But as bridal jewelry, it ranks near rhinestone in popularity as either sets or earring/bracelet combinations. Pearl has different colors with white and ivory most popular because they match the white and ivory gowns. Plating for white pearl is usually silver and off-white or ivory usually have gold plating.
Bridal and prom jewelry are needed items, rather than jewelry that can postpone until later. They serve more than one market so all your eggs are not in one basket. Finally, they are timeless so these classic designs will not be out of fashion a few months from now. Next blog will continue with prom and bridal accessories.

Another day and another set of dramatic turns take place at the height of US government. Divisive President Donald Trump, who was inaugurated last month, has hit headlines worldwide for recent executive orders such as the controversial barring of immigration from seven Muslim countries – an order which has since been blocked by a federal judiciary. His team, consisting of ex-Breitbart executive Steve Bannon, have also come under critical fire. Flynn, however, made a dramatic exit from Trump's top team this week over communications the advisor had with the Russian Embassy – and it has become apparent that the President has known of his transgressions for some time.
Flynn was forced to resign from his post after it emerged that he misinformed the FBI over his communications with the Russian ambassador to the US on the grounds that sanctions on the country would be overturned. It emerged that the advisor had not been truthful on communications he had with Russian units and it was therefore determined that his role as part of the President's staff should be terminated. Trump, however, is thought to have known about Flynn's activity for at least three weeks, which has brought into question – once again – the possibility that the President may face impeachment or even legal action.
Trump's ties to Russia have been rumored and heavily criticized for some time, with allegations dating back to late last year that queried whether or not Russian authorities had influence over the outcome of the US General Election. There is thought to be a trail of financial and communication records, too, which establish that Trump's associates may have had frequent contact with Russian government representatives ahead of the election – and Trump himself was criticized for his praise of Russian head Vladimir Putin.
Representatives from both parties in Congress are calling for an investigation to be taken place into exactly how Trump and his team are tied to Russia, and to what extent. Veteran US newscaster Dan Rather, who recalls Richard Nixon's Watergate scandal, even stated that this scandal appeared to be picking up pace – stating that while Nixon's affairs are still above and beyond the most scandalous, Trump's Russian debacle could be gathering steam. Where will the scandal end? Will Trump and his team face legal action – or could the President be impeached? Pressure is likely to be mounting in the coming weeks – which could make for an even more interesting month ahead in US politics.

Click below to listen to my Garden Bite radio show: Valentine's Day
Romantic love wasn't even mentioned on St. Valentine's Day until the poem "Parlement of Foules" by Geoffrey Chaucer in 1382, however, the celebration of St. Valentine started in 500AD!
Flowers and chocolate became the "norm" of Valentine gift-giving in the 2nd half of the 20th century. It all started here in the U.S. thanks to some clever entrepreneurs!
Roses aren't the only flowers! There are carnations, aka Dianthus, which stands for love. The darling below is hardy to zone 5.
Daisies and Peruvian Lilies. Sunflowers and Calla Lilies. BTW, Calla lilies were used to express sophistication and beauty!
And, as always, there are Orchids!!
Phalaenopsis Orchid
THE most important thing? SAY it and MEAN it! Happy Valentine's Day…

The Mummy Diaries
Save to My Favourites
In a bid to tackle the endless colds we started giving them vitamins last winter and it seems to have had a positive effect. It could just be them getting older and their immune systems stronger but I 100% put it down to the fact I rarely get ill due to my own daily dose of vitamin C.
So when I heard mother and child site My Baba had teamed up with Zita West to launch a range of children's vitamins I thought, how brilliant. A nutritionist friend is big on the importance of probiotics so I was even more pleased to discover the Multivitamin and Multibiotic Powder they have launched with – vitamins, minerals and friendly-bacteria specifically formulated for children aged 12 months to four years. The packaging is a treat and there isn't a sticky pink 'sweet' in sight.
I wasn't overly neurotic when it came to what I could and couldn't eat during pregnancy. I stayed off pâté and runny cheese but other than that I didn't worry about it too much – I think my mother ate both of those and I turned out ok, but we're a bit more in-the-know these days. It is now widely believed a fatty in-utero diet can cause obesity later in life. If you ask me, the education and social pieces have bigger parts to play post-natal, but I was interested to hear that a new book, Your Pregnancy Nutrition Guide, is about to hit Amazon's shelves.
Obesity issues aside, the sections cover which nutrients are particularly important in which trimester (and which foods to find them in), alongside advice on how to manage conditions like morning sickness and preparing for birth and breastfeeding, I did think sound interesting. The book is out in August.
If you're a fan of Not On The High Street but find the volume of products to browse a bit too time consuming and overwhelming (me too), then try All By Mama, a relatively new, online marketplace featuring beautiful things made by mums. The site is really nice and there's lots on there from teacher gifts to jewellery, but crucially not too much to sift your way through.
A mother I know said out loud the other day, "Thomas's artwork just goes straight in the bin," and I thought 'how refreshing' and breathed a bit of a sigh of relief that I'm not the only one thinking, 'What on earth do I do with all this?' Don't get me wrong, if C or O were a budding Banksy I'd hang onto virtually every Wet Wipe that touched their hands, but Banksy they are not shaping up to be. And right now the art ends up in a bulging art drawer that gets a clear out every now and again.
There is a new and novel way of displaying their art courtesy of Barney & Wilf. The mums who run it take a bunch of your children's art and make it into beautiful, big contemporary collages (essentially prints) to display in your home. The best bit? The reams of art that don't make the cut can go in the bin – guilt-free.
A handful of great girlfriends from school have all just had their first baby. I remember us taking Coco home from hospital and feeling so content to be a threesome and starting out life as a family. Despite the blur of sleepless nights it was such a special time and perhaps one I didn't make the most of, but then hindsight is a fairly useless thing unless you share it.
I came across an article on the post-partum period and was intrigued by the traditions it mentions which other cultures follow. The article features lots of really practical tips from breastfeeding advice and dealing with all those visitors to adjusting emotionally to this life-changing phase. You can read the full article here and if you are soon to be at that stage or are new to it I'd recommend you do.
My little lady is not so little anymore and with big school just around the corner we're making the most of not being tied to school holidays and heading off to the Anassa in Cyprus this week. We have all been counting the sleeps. Anassa is dreamy and if you're looking for a holiday which caters for you and them, then do check out our travel guru's recent round up of family-friendly holidays here.
On the holiday topic, rash vests they wear a week a year are one of those things that are necessary but I'm a bit loathed to spend money on. Sunuva sells the Rolls Royce of rash vests, but I was pleased to discover Next does some great ones for boys at far more reasonable prices.

In teaching it is the same. The teacher use many different strategies with the goal to get his or her students (the road to the future) moving forward in many different subjects. Some strategies are way better than others - since the students learn faster, are more engaged or suited for the strategy used.
This goes for all subjects in school. It goes for PE too.
So how did this odd post end up at a site like the Floorballcentral?
Well in PE a teacher can use many different strategies to expand the students over-all physical expenditure as much as possible - something that must be a goal with PE for health? Right?
OK, our thesis here and now is that Floorball gives way better traction in this respect for any PE teacher than many of the current strategies used in schools across America. Why we do not know but we suspect things like self-autonomy, speed and novelty plays a role as kids play Floorball? It could be that they feel safe that make kids like Floorball too?
Anyway if you search for good traction for a few PE lessons you probably ought to check out Floorball?
To us here it is highly distressing that Teachers - and PE teachers in particular are not too drilled in the subject of TRACTION - even so if it is just about Tractor Pulls - & not about #floorball.
Find PE traction today - continue to read floorballcentral!

China's Never-ending Growth
In China West, Julien Chatelin explores the transformation of the country in the hands of frantic development.
© Julien Chatelin. 2015. China, Chengdu, January 2015. New Century Global Center. World's Biggest Mall.
"In western China, the pace of economic development has ushered in a new unprecedented period of transformation, one that has radically redefined the topography of the country while displacing significant parts of its population from rural areas to vast, newly-built mega cities", Julien Chatelin writes about his project, China West.
Numbers are staggering, failing to grasp the reality of the mutation and its constant pace that causes dizziness and rushes China into the Promise Land of the future. When the temporary result of this relentless quest is a man sitting alone in the middle of an empty metal-framed shopping mall the size of a neighborhood, facing a life-size depiction of a heaven-like waterfall landscape, the contrast is troubling.
© Julien Chatelin. 2015. China, Fuling, January 2015. New District.
"What is striking there is the lag between the intention and the reality. They develop ambitious projects that struggle to become life spaces. It is characteristic of these grey zones. They are still undefined, not fully inhabited", Chatelin explains.
His intent is not to draw a dark portrait of the situation. Rather, he focuses on the notion of cycle. "China West complements the series that I did in Egypt and Detroit, USA. It's a continuation of my work on places that are at the edge of cities, on the border of development", he continues. "I am interested in how a territory can carry the promise of a better future and 50 years later be turned into a no-man's land due to various economical or political situations."
© Julien Chatelin. 2013. Shizuishan city, Ningxia Province. Industrial area.
In a context where disproportion is the measure of scale and time, Chatelin looked into the non-instant. "I worked for many years about people and situations and I wanted to explore the opposite of the decisive moment. What does define the moment then?"
It's a frozen time captured within the frenzy of development. People often appear very small, disconnected from their environment, and the rare trees planted here and there at the foot of giant towers look like small lead soldiers who have capitulated. "It feels like the country is under perpetual construction. You think you arrive in a village and you are actually in a 5 million-inhabitants city. I returned 3 times to Lanzhou over the course of a year and a half. Entire neighborhoods had emerged, radically transforming the landscape with 20 skyscrapers or more and gardens in the middle of the desert", he recounts. "These are the new green areas, even though it's synthetic grass."

Dana Fink does not have a long crooked nose, long greasy hair or any warts.
Most of the time at home she wears "jeans and combat boots," not a tall black hat and dark robes.
And she and her husband have two dogs, but do not own a black cat - or any cats at all. She's allergic to them.
In other words, Fink looks nothing like the faux witches that will
fill the streets this Halloween. But as a practicing Wiccan for 18
years, it is a label she embraces.
"I don't mind what we call being 'out of the broom closet,' " she said.
Fink, 52, was introduced to the Wiccan religion in 1992. She took to it right away.
"At that point, my life was as dysfunctional as your life can get," she said.
The religion's principles and practices resonated with a
sensibility she had long felt within herself and gave her grounding.
A family friend told her she declared herself a witch at age 13.
She has always felt she picked up sensations others ignored. Friends
called it an overactive imagination, but she felt it was explained in
"I've always had friends that you couldn't see, and it just made sense to me," Fink said.
She studied on her own for a while, then decided to seek out a
teacher. Finding an ad in the Sacramento County phone book, she called
the number.
"Where the hell have you been?" she asked the complete stranger.
"I've been right here, you weren't ready," said the man who would later become her teacher.
Eighteen years after picking up the religion, she is more dedicated than ever.
Fulfilling a lifelong dream, Fink keeps office hours at Moon-n-Star
Tarot in the Mother Lode Holistic Wellness Center in Jackson.
She offers tarot readings, tea readings and oracle card readings,
and even casts spells. Those typically involve women looking for men,
she explains.
"If you want to bring something into your life, a new car, a new
house, a new boyfriend, as long as you are not messing with somebody
else's life, it's all good," she said.
In other words, you cannot wish for a particular person.
Wondering if it works? Ask Fink.
"Nineteen years ago, I ordered my husband," she said, not cracking a smile.
The two knew each other, but only after her spell did they become romantically involved.
Although her husband wouldn't explain the beginning of their
relationship the same way, he supports her practice. But apparently
there is only one way he'll ever believe it's not a bunch of
"He says, 'I don't believe any of it until you give me six numbers and I win the Lotto,' " she said.
Life as a practicing Wiccan has not been without its trials.
While living in Galt, Fink said she was flatly denied a business
license for her tarot reading practice. She also believes her
step-daughter - who does not consider herself a Wiccan - was refused a
spot on the cheerleading squad due to her mother's religious beliefs.
Then there are the reactions she gets from people while openly
supporting her religion. Some years ago she had a booth at Snyder's
Valley Springs Powwow.
"People would walk into my booth and they would realize where they
were and they would back out as if they were going to get something on
them," she said.
There are two main misconceptions that she dislikes.
The first is that Wiccans are devil worshippers. They do not even believe in the devil, she said.
The second is the crooked nosed, greasy haired stereotype.
"Only bad witches are ugly. Good witches are sexy," she said.
The prejudices against Wicca prompt many of her friends, and even
some members of the small coven to which she belongs, to conceal their
"We guard each other's identity because of the beliefs of mainstream society," she said.
But this Halloween, when she heads down in her witch's robes to
Jackson for the Halloween parade, she will look just like everybody
Except maybe even more excited.
"It's like our New Year's," she said.

What Is Affinity Fraud?
Locate a Local Criminal Lawyer
What Is Affinity Fraud?
Financial investments consist of both direct investments, such as stocks and bonds, and indirect investments, such as mutual funds. Criminal fraud occurs when an individual intends to or actually deceives another through false representation. The intended victim relies on the false representation to their legal detriment. When financial investment and criminal fraud are combined, it can result in several different types of financial scams. One such financial scam is called affinity fraud.
Affinity fraud is a type of investment scam in which a person preys on an identifiable group of people. The individual promotes the investment scam while pretending to be a member of the group. In some cases, the fraudster is actually a member of the identifiable group.
What Is an Identifiable Group?
Identifiable groups of people include:
- Elderly
- Professional groups
- Ethnic communities
- Religious groups
What Types of Scams Are Considered Affinity Scams?
These scams usually involve a pyramid, or "Ponzi", scheme. Under a pyramid scheme, a new investor will give money to the perpetrator of the scheme. The money is then used to pay to someone who invested their money earlier.
How Does This Type of Scam Occur?
The individual, who actually is or pretends to be part of the group, will first convince a respected member of the group for help. For instance, the target may be a religious or community leader. They will tell people about the new fraudulent investment opportunity on the scammer's behalf. In many instances, the trusted leader will unknowingly be a victim of the scam too. People invest their money into the fraudulent scheme. The individual usually flees after collecting the investments, leaving the group without money or an investment.
Why Does an Affinity Scam Work?
Scams like this are based on trust and friendship. Thus, the close knit structure allows the scam to work with a wider group of people than if the individual approached strangers. Also, victims generally will not tell authorities or seek legal remedies. Instead, they frequently try to work things out within their group.
Should I Talk to an Attorney If I Am Suspected of an Affinity Scheme?
Affinity schemes are serious white collar crimes, and a conviction of involvement in an affinity scheme can not only subject you to a serious criminal sentence, but it can also have a very negative impact on your professional reputation. If you are accused of or charged with this type of scam, talk to a criminal attorney.

How to compete with eHow.com?
eHow.com is a good source of articles that teach us step-by-step on how to do almost anything. It is a very popular and very useful site. I am planning to write how-to articles in this blog but I am afraid if I can compete with eHow.com in the SERP (Search Engine Rank Page) considering that eHow.com is already an established website. Almost all "how-to's" were already published in eHow.com so it will be hard to create new how-to articles. I cannot join the revenue sharing scheme of eHow.com because I think international writers are not eligible to the program. Even if I am eligible with the program, I will still be choosing to write my own how-to articles on my site because I would rip all the monetary benefits from the ads (e.g. Google adsense).
I am still enthusiastic to write how-to articles even though eHow.com and other how-to sites are there. Let the search engines decide on who will be on the top.
My main motivation to write how-to articles is not to compete with how-to sites but to learn as I write. The best way to learn how-to do things is to teach them to others –through writing.
I have already many how-to topics (in mind) that I am planning to write and publish. I hope that my future how-to articles will help others.

Windows Explorer crashes after moving/deleting files/folders
after moving to new location or deleting to recycle bin any files or folders AND ONLY after closing the last open folder in the taskbar, after those, when I try to open any folder,
explorer crashes and needs to be restarted (Windows Explorer has stopped working... Windows Explorer is restarting)
If those two are not performed (moving/deleting + closing last opened folder) there is no issue.
I ran SFC /SCANNOW, which has found and fixed 1 issue, but explorer still keeps crashing.
Where else should I try start troubleshooting (with less impact possible)?
Thank you!

Yeah the album really grows on you. Getting better with each listen.
Graceful Curves and Strong Lines
I don't know that I'll ever be able to explain this not sure that I'll ever want to but there are certain albums that, with a bit of wind and rain, grow on you like little yellow and purple flowers that just can't be shaken away. The more I listen to Ballad of the Broken Seas the more I appreciate it, the more I understand it, the more it seems just right. I find myself, now, listening to it over and over again. It's been my office soundtrack for the last two weeks.
Listening to it at home, however, through the Musical Fidelity A3.5 system and Totem Arro speakers has been an altogether new and (mostly) wonderful experience.
I'll write more about that later.
Right now, my fingertips are dancing happily above these black and white keys, all excited over the fact that our new Photo Gallery has, in the last half hour, doubled in size. Finally. What took you so long? I spent most of this day staring at goose eggs, wondering when people would start uploading images, thinking how silly dealers and manufacturers were being for not taking advantage of the opportunity we'd so generously handed them.
We've got entries in all but three categories across the board, and I expect more soon. The goose eggs have hatched and grown into all sorts of graceful curves and strong lines. Fine work.

KELOWNA – One of the two off-leash pit bulls that attacked and injured a woman's Rhodesian ridgeback Saturday has been euthanized.
Cindy Switzer and her 6-year-old daughter were walking Bella, a 7-year-old Rhodesian ridgeback at the now-decommissioned Bellevue Creek Elementary School on Saturday when they were approached by two off-leash dogs. The dogs proceeded to attack Bella, who was seriously injured and required approximately 100 stitches.
A man who was also in the park when the attack took place turned out to be the owner of only one of the dogs. The other pit bull belongs to someone else, but was in his care.
Regional District Communications Officer Bruce Smith said that the man agreed to voluntarily surrender his dog. He was issued a $200 fine for failing to control a dangerous dog and $100 for having a dog on grounds owned by School District 23. Under current bylaws, dogs are not allowed on SD23 grounds.
The woman whose dog was attacked was also issued a $300 fine for failing to have a valid licence.
Smith says that although there is zero-tolerance for unlicensed dogs, the fine for being on school grounds is discretionary. As of January 1, 2014, all dogs that are found to be unlicensed are subject to a mandatory $300 fine.
"We really don't have any leeway with the licence requirement," he says. "In the case of the school grounds, we decided that because she had her dogs under control and because her dog was injured, she was not issued the ticket."
The pit bull that was not euthanized has been declared a dangerous dog by the Regional District, and as such must be kept according to these bylaws.
The public will have an opportunity to address the District regarding the new Responsible Dog Ownership Bylaw, which received first and second readings by the Regional Board Thursday.
"The goal of the bylaw is to encourage, support and reward dog owners that choose to be responsible and good neighbours," says Smith. "With more dog owners doing these things, we look forward to having fewer unfortunate incidents and conflicts involving dogs and a safer and more dog welcoming community."
Central Okanagan residents can learn more about the Responsible Dog Ownership Bylaw and complete the online questionnaire here.
The public is also invited to attend an information open house on Wednesday, January 29 at the RDCO KLO Road office.
The questionnaire will be available for residents to complete by February 2.
To contact the reporter for this story, email Adam Proskiw at email@example.com, call (250) 718-0428 or tweet @AdamProskiw.
**This story was corrected Jan. 17, 2014 at 5:30 p.m. to include information that only the dog that was euthanized belonged to the man.

By Owen Watson at Stadium of Light
As the snow returned with a vengeance and wrought havoc on the Premier League fixture list, a blizzard of a very different kind swept through the Stadium of Light. Danny Welbeck's progress this term has been chilling. It speaks volumes that Sunderland fans now expect their manager to make room for the Englishman in his starting line-up alongside record signing Asamoah Gyan and goal machine Darren Bent.
- Welbeck strike & stunning Gordon save move Black Cats up to sixth
- Player Ratings: Sunderland 1-0 Bolton Wanderers
- Striker admits Sunderland loan spell is vital for his career
After a good start last season, Sunderland slipped in winter when Bent's goals dried up. In the last eight games, Sunderland have collected a healthy 15 points and Bent has only scored once.
Wel-done | Old Trafford loanee is making a big impression at Sunderland
Gerard Pique - Left for Barcelona for £5m in May 2008, aged 21. Has won eight major honours with the Catalan club since.
Ryan Shawcross - Left for Stoke for £1m in January 2008, aged 21. Was called up to the England squad last March.
Giuseppe Rossi - Left for Villarreal in July 2007, aged 20. Captained Italy in their last fixture in November.
Fraizer Campbell - Left for Sunderland in £3.5m deal in July 2009, aged 21. Currently sidelined with a cruciate knee ligament injury.
Danny Simpson - Left for Newcastle in January 2010, aged 23. Injury has limited his appearances this season.
His linkup with Bent, whether playing alongside him or starting from the left, has been impressive, and his energy and desire to drive forward has given Sunderland another dimension in attack. He causes problems when he comes inside, and defences are struggling to find the answers.
He still has a lot to learn, but his rate of improvement over the course of this season has been remarkable.
Should I stay...
The question is; does he offer Manchester United something they don't currently have?
He's certainly a bigger threat than Federico Macheda, and his current goal scoring form of five goals in six starts is up there with the best of them. He's also more versatile than the young Italian, providing a genuine alternative on the left wing. With Giggs struggling for fitness in his advanced years, and Park jetting off to the Asian Cup, having Welbeck available to fill in on the left would be a useful option.
But there's a glass ceiling waiting at Old Trafford. Javier Hernandez has burst onto the scene this season and Welbeck would surely be below the Mexican in the pecking order. Even if there's a short-term vacancy on the left flank, Park is an established first team regular that would be difficult to dislodge, and in the long-term Nani will be first choice on the left when Antonio Valencia returns on the right.
...or should I go?
The conundrum for Welbeck is the main reason for his progression this season has been the playing time he's getting at Sunderland. Steve Bruce and his assistant Eric Black have subtlety underlined this message whenever probed about whether Welbeck's loan deal will be made permanent. Even Sir Alex Ferguson acknowledged this in recent comments, pointing out that the last time Welbeck got a run of four consecutive games was in the Manchester United youth team.
Having had a taste of first team action, it may be difficult for him to turn back. It's clear that getting a run in the starting line-up has benefitted him immensely, and Sunderland seems to be a good fit for him. He has a clearly defined role in the team, and he's going from strength to strength.
Tomorrow is another day, as they say, and Welbeck is adamant that he wants to focus on the short-term, building on his eye-catching start for Sunderland. But if continues on his current trajectory there will become a point when this talented young footballer has a very difficult decision to make.

George Osborne says he's started Tory cuts because it will make the next ones 'smoother'
Conservative spending cuts have already begun, George Osborne has said as he told unprotected Whitehall departments to start cutting back now to make the next five years of austerity "smoother".
The Chancellor has pledged to eliminate the UK's budget deficit by 2018 and to turn it into a surplus the following year. But with the deficit forecast to be £75 billion in 2015/16, Mr Osborne faces a difficult challenge and he has wasted no time in wielding the axe, even though the budgets for this year have already been outlined.
"When it comes to saving money, we all know that the more you can do early, the smoother the ride," he told the Confederation of British Industry last night.
"And without fixing the public finances so our country lives within its means, there can be no economic security for businesses or working people."
But the road ahead is anything but 'smooth' for those waiting to hear how Mr Osborne will find £12 billion of welfare cuts and an additional £13 billion in budget cuts from unprotected departments such as transport, defence, justice and the home office.
Mr Osborne plans to save another £5 billion from cracking down on tax avoidance, while he wants to make a profit from publicly-owned assets by selling off shares in Lloyds and Eurostar and has created a government-owned company, UK Government Investments (UKGI), to oversee the sale.

If you want to play a sport in college, don't rely on coaches to find you. Take the initiative and let them know you're interested in their program – and that you've done enough homework to show how you'd be a good fit. A concise letter of introduction can put you on a coach's radar. While there's some flexibility in how you structure the letter, it should include information on your abilities and why you'd be a good fit at the school.
Introduce Yourself
Start the letter by stating your name, what school you go to and when you're scheduled to graduate. Tell the coach what teams you're on at both the school and club level, and what positions you play. This provides the coach with key information for when you'll be entering college, and what role you can potentially fill on his squad.
State Your Case
Tell the coach how you can help his program both on the field and in the classroom. Talk about your top athletic accomplishments – perhaps making an all-tournament team or finishing a race in a state record time. This isn't the time to recite your entire athletic resume, but include information that will make the coach want to find out more about you. Don't neglect the academics. Mentioning your GPA and relevant test scores lets the coach know you'll be able to make it past the admissions department and succeed in college once you get there.
Personalize the Message
Coaches can get hundreds of letters a year from interested student athletes, and it's easy to tell which ones are form letters. Make it clear that you're contacting this particular coach for a reason. Maybe you're a basketball guard whose AAU team plays the same 2-3 zone or a pitcher who admires how the coach has gotten improvement out of the current staff. If one of your former teammates is already a part of the program or you've enjoyed success against current college athletes in the school's conference, it doesn't hurt to mention that as well.
Contact Information
Let the coach know where he can contact you and where he can see you play. For example, if you're playing in a showcase tournament that the coach will likely be attending, let him know where he can find you. Tell the coach how he can contact your coaches – particularly essential if you're writing during a period where the coach is prohibited by reaching out to you directly because of NCAA rules. If you have a more detailed online athlete profile or highlight video available on the web, pass that information along.

Today I have been mostly reading Dave Chalmers on Ontological Anti-Realism. (NB: Dave's paper is a draft, not a finished product. Still, since it's in the public domain, I thought it might be helpful to make a comment here since I think the point is important.)
A couple of quibbles then the biggie.
Quibble 1: I think it's inviting trouble to describe anything as 'the' basic question of metaontology, ethics, or metaethics (p. 1). Other basic questions of metaethics, for instance, besides Dave's ('Are there objective answers to the basic questions of ethics?') will plausibly include: 'What is the best methodology for ethics?' and/or 'How - if at all - do we know ethical truths?'. And many people might think that the basic questions of ethics, besides 'What is right?', include 'What is good?', 'What ought I to do?' and/or 'What is the force of ethical reasons for action?'.
Quibble 2: Those who hold that 'commonsense' and 'correct' ontology coincide in cognitive significance aren't thereby forced to be deflationary about correct ontology (p. 9). They might instead be inflationary about commonsense ontology, holding that it has the cognitive significance of - and is sensitive to the commitments of - correct ontology. (Or at least, I don't see why this option is off the table.)
The big one: Dave's 'ontological realism' (section 5) consists in attributing the following properties to all ontological existence assertions:
1. objectivity, which amounts to lack of sensitivity (regarding content or truth-value) to context (speaker's or evaluator's),
and 2: determinacy (having truth-value true or false).
His 'anti-realism' is defined as the denial of realism in this sense.
My worry about this is that 'objectivity' as Dave defines it is orthogonal to the question of mind-independence, which I suspect is what most of those who take themselves to be ontological realists because they think ontological claims are 'objective' will be thinking of. By Dave's lights, one can count as a realist about ontology despite thinking that There are Fs is true iff (and in virtue of the truth of) Someone believes at some time that there are Fs. But I think this position is pretty clearly anti-realist in at least one good (and commonplace) sense.
Moreover, I'm not sure that I know of a good (and/or commonplace) usage of 'realism' which goes along with determinacy of truth-value and lack of sensivity to context. No-one would say we are in danger of counting as anti-realists about physical space, say, just because we believe spatial language is full of indexicals and therefore not all spatial assertions are 'objective' in Dave's sense.
Update: I have cross-posted this to TAR where it has received some discussion from Chalmers.
