Quilting is 'uniquely' good for us!
A University of Glasgow team has found that quilting is 'uniquely' good for you. A study found that quilting improved well-being in ways that physical & outdoor activities could not, & offered a creativity that had been 'stifled' in the modern world. They interviewed quilters & found the activity helped their cognitive, creative & emotional well-being, particularly among older people. The use of bright colours was 'uplifting', the activity distracted from the stress of work, & quilting offered challenges such as maths & geometry. It also increased confidence & had an important social side. Professor Jacqueline Atkinson, co-author of the study & a quilter herself for five decades, said: 'Doing something that engages you & that you enjoy is key. As adults, we don't often do enough that includes fun & play'.

Most people do not realize that there were no honey bees in America before the European settlers brought hives from Europe. Native pollinators, especially bees other than honey bees, have been pollinating the continent's flowering plants since long before the arrival of honey bees. Even in today's vastly altered landscapes, they continue to do the yeomen's share of pollination, especially when it comes to native plants.
Here are excerpts from one of the best resources I've found online regarding native bees from the USDA Forest Service and Pollinator Partnership (I highly recommend printing out or saving this beautifully illustrated and valuable PDF to your desktop)
Bee Basics an Introduction to Our Native Bees
What is helpful for new gardeners to know is that the honey bee, as remarkable as it is, does not know how to pollinate tomato or eggplant flowers. The honey bee also does very poorly compared to native bees when pollinating many native plants, such as pumpkins, cherries, blueberries, and cranberries. Native bees come in a wide array of sizes, shapes, and colors. They are also varied in their life styles, the places they frequent, the nests they build, the flowers they visit, and their season of activity. They remain ignored or unknown by most of us. Yet, they provide an invaluable ecosystem service, pollination, to 80 percent of flowering plants.
Bees are efficient foragers. One example is the southeastern blueberry bee, Habropoda laboriosa, a hard-working little creature capable of visiting as many as 50,000 blueberry flowers in her short life and pollinating enough of them to produce more than 6,000 ripe blueberries. At market those 6,000 blueberries are worth approximately $20 or more. Not every bee that you see flitting about may be worth $20, but all of them combined keep the world of flowering plants going. The world as we know it would not exist if there were no bees to pollinate the earth's 250,000 flowering plants.
Bees are descended from wasps. Most wasps are carnivores; they either prey upon or parasitize other insects or spiders, and use this rich protein source to feed their young. About 125 million years ago, when the first flowering plants evolved, some wasps made a switch from hunting prey to gathering pollen for their brood. Perhaps they were hunting for insects that visited flowers and ate some of the pollen or drank the nectar along with their prey.
It didn't take much to find the advantages of consuming pollen over hunting. Pollen is rich in proteins and doesn't fight back, so it is easy to imagine why the bees became vegetarians. Gathering pollen and nectar requires certain adaptations different from those of hunters, so they started to change, to evolve to meet these requirements and consequently became bees.
Some bees are generalists and will use pollen from a wide variety of flowering plants. Bumble bees are generalists as they depend upon a succession of plants flowering from early spring when the queen emerges to late summer – early fall when the colony dies. Other bees have some degree of specialization in foraging; they resort to using pollen from only one or two families of flowering plants. Fortunately plant reproduction has redundancy in floral visitation already built-in. Each flowering plant species usually has a small guild of bees and other pollinators which coevolved with them to ensure their pollination. Typically, bees collect nectar from a wider range of blossoms than they visit for pollen.
One example of floral specialization is squash bees which are efficient visitors and pollinators of cucurbit plants (squash, pumpkin, and zucchini).
Blueberry bees, globe mallow bees, and cactus bees are also floral specialists.
Some bee species are active only for a few weeks during the growing season and depend on just a few families of flowering plants for their foraging needs. Bees in the genus Macropis depend only on loosestrife flowers (Lysimachia) from which they collect oil and pollen for their larvae's food. Loosestrife flowers however, have no nectar available so bees in the genus Macropis must visit other flowers for their nectar needs. One highly specialized bee is Anthemurgus passiflorae. This bee is only known to forage on yellow passionflower (Passiflora lutea).
A note on Loosestrife: under no circumstances plant the Purple Loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria), it is an invasive alien species to North America and its sale is illegal as it invades our wetlands, displacing native flora and fauna. More on Purple Loosestrife and its erradication. Insects keep purple loosestrife under control in its native Eurasia, but in America it has no animal to control it. Experiments are under way to see if non-native insects that seem to feed uniquely on purple loosestrife can control it without threatening native species. Purple loosestrife is the only plant that is banned from sale in Virginia. Additionally, responsible gardeners would never share Purple Loostrife with their gardening friends. At the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center you will find a list of the native loosestrife plants.
There are 4,000 species of native bees in the United States. A number of government agencies, nongovernmental organizations, and private individuals are creating pollinator gardens throughout the country that will benefit native bees and other pollinators. The USDA Forest Service, the North American Pollinator Protection Campaign, the Pollinator Partnership, Urban Bee Gardens at U.C. Berkeley, and the Xerces Society each supply information to those who want to start gardening for pollinators or improving bee habitat in general.
8 Ways to Help Native Bees in Your Garden
- Plant a pollinator garden.
- Avoid pesticides or choose non-chemical solutions to insect problems.
- Provide a source of pesticide-free water and mud. A dripping faucet, mud puddle, or birdbath attracts butterflies and beneficial insects. Mud is an important nesting material for some bee species.
- Plant native plants from your eco region.
- Provide a variety of native flowering trees, shrubs, and wildflowers that bloom successively throughout the seasons.
- Reduce the size of the lawn by creating pollinator gardens will benefit native pollinators and other species of wildlife. It is possible to have a lawn that is good for native bees while being esthetically pleasing.
- Provide nesting habitats for bees.
- Build or buy your own bee houses.
Helping native bees is essential to our continued survival, health, and well-being. These animals benefit us all because of the invaluable ecosystem services they provide to the environment and to our farms, forests, and gardens. Not only do they pollinate most of our flowering plants, their bodies feed other wildlife and their ground-nesting behaviors aerate and enrich soils. They enrich and sustain our lives. The observation of native bees can become a lifelong pastime and pleasure. Become involved.
Observe bees with close focusing binoculars; plant a small pollinator garden; or help a neighbor, student, or family member drill small holes in scrap lumber to create a bee house. Join a pollinator and plant-friendly organization to learn more about pollinators and their flowers, like the Pollinator Partnership (www.pollinator.org).
Become a pollinator observer as a citizen scientist and report your observations. Some of our bees are declining, and your findings are invaluable to understanding the big picture. Most importantly, get outdoors with your children and experience the amazing natural and urban habitats that we share with pollinators and flowering plants. Do your share to make sure that this precious legacy continues.

Product management is one of the hardest jobs to define in any organization, partially because it's different in every company. I've had several recent conversations about "what is a product manager?" with friends who are taking their first product jobs or advancing in their product careers. I wanted to capture and share them here. Please share your feedback via notes.
The job of a product manager is to:
Help your team (and company) ship the right product to your users
Or to break this down into smaller pieces:
1) Help your team:
The best product managers spend all of their time on the highest priority things that help their team.
These are primarily (a) coordination — ensuring that the team is planning, making decisions, and working together effectively with a clear purpose and focus, and (b) communication — making sure everyone understands what is happening, when, and why, especially as things inevitably change. Side note: By "team," I am referring to the set of people directly working together on the product or area of a product including designers, engineers, QA, documentation, marketing, and affiliated teams on a project such as business development, support, legal, etc.
A lot of people describe a product manager as a CEO of the product or the "owner" of the spec, but I think that over-ascribes influence and authority to the product manager. The best teams operate in a way where the team collectively feels ownership over the spec and everyone has had input and been able to suggest and promote ideas. The best product managers coordinate the key decisions by getting input from all team members and are responsible to surface disagreements, occasionally break ties, and gather consensus (or at least ensure that everyone commits to a plan) when decisions get made. It's not about building what the product manager thinks is right. This isn't to say that product managers shouldn't have great ideas of their own, but the goal is not to find a team that executes on their ideas blindly. Instead, the best product managers build a process to collaboratively decide on the right priorities so the whole team is bought in.
More tactically,helping your team often means being the person who writes and summarizes notes after a long meeting, or writing a spec to make sure you have captured the team's consensus and plan in written form. I often found that producing a good write-up took longer than the meeting itself. And often it means collaborating with people on your extended team — getting their feedback, sharing the plan, and making sure there are no roadblocks or traps that could get in the way of the team delivering their product to users. At Twitter, we called this ACT SOLID to capture all of the groups that were part of the extended team (Analytics, Communications, Trust/safety, Support, Ops, Legal, International, Design).
While engineers produce code and designers produce mockups and graphics, product managers don't produce any tangible artifacts for the final product. But ultimately, I believe the success of the team and product over time come down to the effectiveness of the product manager.

Estoy aprendiendo español.
I'm learning Spanish.
It's one of those online programs you take at your own pace. I was inspired — or is the right word shamed — by colleagues from other countries who can speak two or more languages fluently.
And here I stumble about, barely doing English justice.
So now at night, while I'm plopped down in front of the TV watching Dancing with the Stars, I'm conjugating Spanish verbs. It's a lot of fun (or, I should say, 'muy divertido').
Studies reveal it's good for me, too.
In Europe, my perception of intelligence increases twofold if I, an American, speak a second language. Much more importantly, my long-term brain health is given a tremendous boost, too.
Specifically, a study at York University in Toronto found that patients diagnosed with Alzheimers who spoke a second language exhibited symptoms as much as five years later than their monolingual counterparts.
Wow. That's the most effective advertisement for the Rosetta Stone I've ever heard.
So, if you know a second language, practice it. And if you don't, consider learning one. It's good for your brain.
Estudio, mis amigos!

E Bay crap
I was wondering if anyone else is discussed with E Bay be sides me.:angry: I went to the Hudson sight for Hudson parts . After FIFTY PAGES i gave up . Car covers , Plastic hub caps , seat covers , disc brakes , Zebra floor mats Purple and pink spray paint .:woohoo: What the heck is going on. sorry I just needed to VENT Hudson Dave www.FatWhitewalls.com:sick: Walls.com
This subject was dealt with quite extensively, a few days ago, on the Forum. Several helpful suggestions were offered on how to get around the problem:
http://www.classiccar.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=13&id=157435&Itemid=152 -
I thought all Hudson owners would want to paint their brake calipers pink with a special spray can just for the job! Seriously, the most frustrating thing for me was trying to get through to ebay to make a complaint - impossible.If you're stuck in a hole, stop digging.
Lets start an organized effort to spam the offending listers every time we go on ebay. Maybe they will tire of the Hudson response and go somewhere else. Things like "will these pink bucket seat covers fit my '54 HHH bench seat if I stretch them?"
I sent a message if their wheel covers would fit my Hudson. They responded back, It should fit. I asked if they know what a Hudson is. No response. :evil:
I quit doing ebay several years ago. I got tired of all the BS, scammers, non-payers...plus, I'd rather haggle prices with someone in person than compete with someone who doesn't know what the value of a part is.
I get better deals and enjoy dealing with folks on this forum for parts I need. -
Imagine a nice prewar car with those 'ugly' original wire wheels, those China made plastic caps would really be fantastic :lol: :lol:Location : France
It like going to a swap meet. You have to pass by all the unwanted stuff to find the desired part you need that when found has SOLD painted across the flawless painted surface that was the same color of your car. Only, thanks to technology, its faster on the internet and you do not have to leave the house at 4 a.m. to drive 50 miles, to pay $9.00 for parking, buy a $10 entrance ticket, walk 20 miles of isles of junk and buy $20 worth of hot dogs and Cokes for lunch and drive 50 miles home at 5 p.m. emty handed with $50 added to the credit card for gas plus fees for exceeding the credit card limit and for late payment. To cover up any disappointment you proudly proclaim, to the wife when you arrive home, how much money you saved at the swap meet by not buying any parts to make her happy.
Those were the days.
Lee O'Dell -
Hi. everyone---Yes I too am discusted with e-bay & am going to quit going there. Maybe they need some competition in order to straighten out.---Cliff Minard
thanks to the tips i have received here (using the minus sign in front of 'fits hudson' coupled with vintage car and truck parts) ebay now works great. thank you.
regards, tom

NY Governor Paterson Forced to Cancel Davos Boondoggle As State On The Verge
First AIG with their million dollar, manicure and pedicure all-inclusive trips to the Pacific coast a few days after a $100 billion dollar rescue by taxpayers, and now David Paterson, governor of a virtually bankrupt NY State. The man who benefited the most from Client 9's downfall, was apparently packing his suitcases to fly out Thursday on a taxpayer-funded boondoggle to Davos. While one could argue that hobnobbing with the likes of Maria Bartiromo and Bill Gates is instrumental to NY's budget reduction, the alternative case also has some merits. We, however, don't blame him for his desire to get away from it all... And "it all" includes a nearly $16 billion state deficit for 2009 (which NYC mayor Bloomberg has put his foot down and said will not be funded at the expense of New Yorkers), as well as a huge drop in his electoral popularity over AG Andrew Cuomo for the 2010 Governor race. With the poll differential declining from 49%/26% to only 35% for Paterson and 33% for Cuomo, the Governor may want to focus on actually fixing the budget crisis, before he ends up having to pay with IOUs like his California counterpart.

I've been searching for a understated keychain and I thought this was the one. I like everything about it except for the size. It's too large for a pocket and I don't know where to put it.

Critical Essays
William Kennedy American Literature Analysis
In his early attempts at writing fiction, Kennedy turned to exotic locales and set his stories in Puerto Rico, where he worked briefly as a newspaper reporter and editor; however, like William Faulkner, James Joyce, and other notable writers before him, Kennedy soon realized that his most valuable fictional subject was his own hometown—Albany. Kennedy points to his time in Puerto Rico as an important stage in his development as a writer. Being away from home gave him the distance he needed to fictionalize the New York town he had come to know so well.
With the guidance of Bellow, who taught at the University of Puerto Rico, Kennedy began writing about what he knew best, the people and places of Albany. Uninterested in sanitizing his city's past or present, he relinquished traditional civic pride and directed his attention to Albany's most infamous citizens. Kennedy's cast of characters includes the legendary gangsters, politicians, and everyday drifters who inhabit Albany's Irish Catholic North End. During his days as a reporter for Albany's Times-Union, Kennedy had come to know the people, their history, and their ways of talking and living.
Kennedy's earlier works, particularly Legs and Billy Phelan's Greatest Game, reflect his training as a newspaperman and are told in a fast-paced journalistic style. These first two novels of Kennedy's Albany cycle are action-packed exposés of the city's...

Getting to America - denied because of 214(b) requirement

U.S. immigration official |
You are likely aware that it will be difficult for your niece to come here legally – difficult, but not impossible. Her lack of higher education will not help, nor will a resume of odd jobs.
This is what likely attracted the attention of the U.S. border patrol officer she encountered when trying to enter the country. The 214(b) provision of immigration law you cite is as follows:
"Every alien … shall be presumed to be an immigrant until he establishes to the satisfaction of the consular officer, at the time of application for a visa, and the immigration officers, at the time of application for admission, that he is entitled to a non immigrant status."

In other words, the U.S. officer has the right to assume that visitors to the U.S. may intend to stay in the country beyond the terms of the visa. According to Section 291 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, the burden of proof to otherwise rests with the applicant:
"Whenever any person makes application for a visa or any other document required for entry, or makes application for admission, or otherwise attempts to enter the United States, the burden of proof shall be upon such person to establish that he is eligible to receive such visa or such document . . . if such person fails to establish to the satisfaction of the consular officer that he is eligible to receive a visa or other document required for entry, no visa or other document required for entry shall be issued to such person, nor shall such person be admitted to the United States unless he establishes to the satisfaction of the attorney general that he is not inadmissible under any provision of this act."
A 214(b) refusal is not a permanent bar to entering the U.S. Your niece has the right to re-apply for entry again, but she'll need to be prepared with evidence showing that her stay in the U.S. will be 90 days or less, that she has ties to Ireland that necessitate her timely return, and that she can financially support herself while she's here.
While you may be a law-abiding and tax-paying U.S. citizen, immigration law doesn't take this into account when evaluating a foreign resident's right to enter the country. You can definitely provide a letter indicating your financial support of her while she's here, but other than that it will be up to her to prove eligibility.
Has she applied for a visa lottery green card? Though chances of success are very slim she should apply anyway at www.dvlottery.state.gov. The entry period closes on Saturday at noon so she should act fast.
When she arrives here in the meantime she'll be able to scope out potential job opportunities, but it's very difficult to secure both jobs and visas these days. She should check in with the Irish immigrant advice centers throughout the U.S. when she gets here. To find the nearest one to where you live visit www.ciic-usa.org.

This story is not new to me. I am from Thailand and surrounding with Irish friends for almost half of my life. I am also a professional working US, living here almost 15 yrs. The same thing happened to me that they did not allow my sisters, my nieces and my nephews to come to visit me. Their all visas were denied. My coworker's sisters from Israel were denied at the same time. My friend's wife, her name Paola, from Italy was denied and was returned home too, when she travelled to visit her sister in the US.

Having a relation here isnt of any use to her. She's the same as every other kid trying to come here without either an offer of employment or a working visa. Thats the real reason she wasnt allowed in - its obvious she was coming looking for work but she clearly didnt do a good job of letting the authorities know it was a HOLIDAY! You can't say you're coming out here looking for a job and expect them to believe you'll go home if you find one - she's not qualified legally to work here (regardless of her education or career history). She needs to do her homework at home in Ireland - apply for jobs online, do phone and skype interviews and then if she gets an offer they'll sponsor her. Theres a ton of information on line on how to do all this - she's not doing her homework. If it was as easy as getting on a plane and coming here and finding a job and staying then half of Ireland would be doing it!! I live here, pay taxes and I'm a law abiding citizen but it doesnt mean my sister can hop on a flight over and just start working. They're trying to get people OUT of the country who have been pulling the illegal employement stunt for years - she should already know that. Coming to an aunt on holiday will let her scope out work but it wont allow her to take up employment no matter who is paying her bills here - she'd still be illegal without a visa and noone will hire her under those conditions!

Costa Rica's Rainforest Recession Special
Filed under: Luxury Travel & Hotels
It's hard to remember a time when exotic travel to so many places was as reasonably priced as it is today. If it's the rainforest you've always wanted to see, here's a recession special worth checking out. The Lost Iguana Resort in Costa Rica is offering a seven-night package for $999 that includes all meals (though not alcohol) and a $500 credit at its new Golden Gecko Spa as well as transportation to and from the San Jose International Airport.
The property sits in Costa Rica's lush Central Valley, and all of its 42 guest rooms face the lava-spewing side of the Arenal volcano, one of the ten most active in the world. The region's natural setting, in a primal rainforest, lends itself to some memorable activities, including a zip-line canopy tour that stretches for 1.7 miles and, for the more earthbound, guided hikes through the jungle and plunges into steaming hot springs. The rainforest's abundant wildlife is also large part of the experience at Lost Iguana. Guests are likely to see, among other species, tiny Scintillant hummingbirds; white-nosed coati, a raccoon-like animal native to Central and South America; and, yes, iguanas.

The Shiraz Cabernet blend is an Australian classic, delivering an approachable and easily enjoyable style. Generous red and black fruit aromas precede a soft and supple palate packed with blackberry and cherry flavours with hints of spice. Finishing smooth and rounded, this is ideal as a partner to pizza, pasta and red meat and is fruit forward enough to be a satisfying drink by itself.
Full and upfront varietal fruit with spicy aromas on top of sweet oak overtones. Deep savoury currant fruit characters with smooth tannins and vanillin oak. Long and satisfying finish.
Shiraz has found its natural home in the sun kissed Australian vineyard, where it produces a ripe, fruit forward style loved for its immediate approachability. Our Reserve Shiraz is no exception, with a rich nose redolent with red and black berry aromas and a smooth, textured palate dripping with juicy dark fruits, hints of chocolate and lively spices.
Grown in the warm, sun drenched Australian vineyard, Cabernet Sauvignon produces a distinctive, full bodied and generous style. This Reserve Cabernet is a great example, showing luxuriant blackcurrant aromas with hints of mint and delivering a powerful, concentrated palate of ripe blackcurrant and fig flavours, finishing supple and textured.

Friday 10:00 a.m. - 12:50 p.m.Abbotsford, Room A269CRN 90964 AB1Instructor: Niki Taylor
3 creditsPrerequisite(s): NoneThis course introduces students to the perceptive and analytical skills required for listening to and describing music. It is intended for students wishing to pursue further music education from an established music, music education, or arts program. The course presents a series of sequential listening skills and their accompanying descriptive vocabulary. Rather than focusing on a specific set of repertoire, this course studies the musical concepts common to a variety of repertoires. Repertoire for the course will complement live performances being presented in the local area.
Official Course Outline
The music curriculum at UFV addresses music as a social and artistic practice; no prior knowledge, special skills, or aptitudes are required. Our courses explore musical traditions and cultures from a range of historical, theoretical, and global perspectives. The courses are designed for students and teachers with broad interests in music, literature, history, media studies, psychology, and the visual arts.
Students investigate such topics as the history of musical theatre; the impact of globalization on local and regional musical cultures; the role of literature in music history; the functions of music in everyday life; the psychology of music and the development of music perception; the interplay between classical and popular music, and between Western and non-Western traditions; and the impact of the music industry and new media on the types of music that become most popular. Our music courses will be useful to students who plan to teach music, those who want to do honours or graduate work in this area, and any student who wants to better understand the complexities of musical experience and practice in a wider perspective.

And now that he's admitted to doping, DWTS is even more interested in casting him. A source says, "The higher-ups feel he is exactly what the show needs to bring back viewers."

Four or five pitches of excellent mixed climbing on thin slabs, steep faces, corners and chimneys. We climbed the route in spring as many guidebooks describe as the best season, however I've run into folks who say its better in the fall. Pitch 1- Climb up thin ice on a low angle face. Belay at a large flake wrapped with webbing. WI5 M5 190ft Pitch 2 � Climb easy mixed terrain then a large left facing corner of 85 deg. Ice. Belay in an alcove below a vertical chimney. WI4 M3 160ft Pitch 3 � Climb a vertical chimney with thin ice on the left and good rock pro on the right. Traverse left under a chalkstone roof at the end of the pitch. WI5 M5 100ft Pitch 4 � Climb up to and over an ice bulge which tops out onto low angle terrain. WI5 ?ft
From the Glacier Gorge trailhead, hike to Sky Pond, i.e. the same approach as for the Petit Grepon. Due South of Sky Pond is a large buttress. If you're lucky, Vanquished will be there.
Standard mixed route for a thinly iced climb. Bring plenty of pins (I didn't bring enough) as many of the good cracks were choked with ice.
Having just skied off the divide nearby Vanquished this morning and having spent the last couple of weeks in RMNP above treeline, it seems very unlikely that there is a shred of ice on the Vanquished Wall. Potentially with this warm spell, some new moisture, and a cold front?, things could come into shape up there. Otherwise, it is pretty dry and cold up high, not ideal for ice formation.
For those ice/mixed junkies, I invite you to look at The Inquisition route on this wall also. You may enjoy it, as well as a number of FA options in this area. Git-r-dun.
Jack Roberts led a long variation to the first pitch of Vanquished on June 9, 2008. It's the big left-facing corner/chimney just left of the normal start. Moderately difficult mixed ground leads to a poorly protected thin-ice step, followed by strenuous liebacking with hands on rock and feet on thin ice, followed by a weird and insecure groove. The pitch arcs back to the right after the chimney and ends at a fixed anchor on Vanquished, about 120 feet off the ground. Very difficult to rate. Jack said it was "like an awkward 5.9 crack that doesn't let up." This MIGHT be a good alternative to Vanquished's ephemeral first pitch when that's not in. Then again, it might not. Note: Topher Donahue has informed me that he led this pitch "about 10 years ago." Vanquished was in good shape over the weekend and yesterday, but today's heat might have killed a few key sections. In addition, we (I) destroyed most of the ice at the hard bulge atop the fourth pitch, and I doubt it will rebuild this year. Sorry! Gear note: Hexes are very useful on Vanquished's icy cracks, including a large hex (10 or 11 BD) and several medium sizes. See photos at themountainworld.blogspot.com.
Kevin Cooper and I climbed a possible new variation to the first two pitches of this on 5/25/10. Our route was to the right and climbed two excellent pitches of WI5 M5 before ending below a splitter crack with a pin in it's base. We discussed continuing up the crack but opted to stay on ice and used the pin to pendulum into the money pitches of Vanquished. A few photos were added.
What an incredible route!
This route was totally dry in Oct., even after flood-inducing precipitation, early snow, and a very favorable melt-freeze cycle, which created never-before-seen/climbed ice formations in the Front Range. Nearby routes were also completely dry. Has anyone actually climbed this "in" during the Fall? Seems like it's absolutely a Spring-melt route. One more for the chase....

The staff was very friendly and the rooms and common spaces were modern, bright, and clean. The hotel was convenient to the airport but not to much else (it was located in an industrial park). Free Wifi was available but I didn't have a computer. There were two computers available for guests but the internet connection was broken the whole time I was there!

Russell Tovey lands US TV role
1:25pm Friday 30th August 2013 in National Entertainment News © Press Association 2013
Russell Tovey has landed his first big US TV role in gay-themed dramedy Looking.
The Being Human actor will play Kevin, a gay character and video game wunderkind who made a fortune at a young age and is a close friend of lead character Patrick, played by Jonathan Groff, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Looking will be set in San Francisco and follows Patrick and his two friends, played by Frankie J Alvarez and Murray Bartlett, as they look for love.
Russell, who is openly gay, has not played a gay character before and recently told The Independent: "Every character I play is straight, which is unique, my agent says, because it's not really been done before that someone who is completely out is able to play straight roles.
"So for me to play gay it has to be something special, because it might actually be more of a risk. So I'm waiting for that role - I want it to be something that moves things forward."
Looking is an eight-episode series for HBO and will begin shooting in San Francisco in the coming weeks.

"The last two decades changed the post-socialist legal orders both quantitatively and qualitatively in such a manner, which can rarely be experienced in history. Though some of its aspects have already been analyzed, a comprehensive study of one of these legal orders in English is still missing. This volume attempts to fill this gap by analyzing the transformation of the Hungarian legal order between 1985 and 2005. It presents the transformation of the Hungarian legal order from three different aspects. Firstly, it analyzes concrete legal questions, like the constitutional problems of accession to the European Union, dealing with the past, the status law, the development of minority protection, and the relationship between international and municipal law. Secondly, it tries to give a general theoretical overview on the last 20 years – in the issues of law and politics, law and economy, legitimacy of the Constitution, law importation, culture and European integration, changes in legal thinking, and sociological and criminological characteristics of the transition. Thirdly, it takes account of changes in the established areas of Hungarian law and legal science – like constitutional law, agricultural law, criminal law, criminal procedure, consumer protection, environmental law, administrative law, financial law, civil law, civil procedure and social law."

Habits you picked up from work... - Page 3

I have to hold up the bottle and make sure I read the label to double check.turnforthenurseRN and Hygiene Queen like this. - Jan 27 by cjcsoon2brnMy two big habits are ...
1. Signing RN after my name on checks and restaurant receipts.
2. Waking up from a sound sleep and while I'm still half-asleep I'm asking my GF who is covering my patients or if I gave handoff report.
Obviously I tend to do the RN signature thing more often but I've woken up in a panic more than once thinking that I am still in the hospital.
!Chris - Jan 27 by ktwlpnUsing my "med surg strut " when I'm off duty-my poor husband is always telling me to slow down,we are not running to a code at the grocery store. And lists-I was never so organized until I became an LPN.I am so used to writing out my lists at work that I can't get any thing accomplished at home without writing a list and crossing off each task as I go.turnforthenurseRN and Hygiene Queen like this.

If I dont make a list of all I have to do I panic that I am forgetting something really imortant since I normally write everything I have to do. Just to be mean my husband hid my list and I spend 2 hours looking for it when he finally gave it back to me !Last edit by keisha e on Jan 27 - Jan 27 by Little_MouseAlmost answering my home phone with "Hi. This is___ from ____ unit. How can I help you?" Also hearing phantom call lights and/or tele monitor at home... signing "rn" after my signature and using short hand at home like the "c" sign for with and "s" for without when I leave notes or even in my personal journal when I feel super lazy....and being more used to measuring things in mLs here in the States! I do not like using ounces..
Oh and ditto about the veins! I admire from afar...turnforthenurseRN and Hygiene Queen like this. - Jan 28 by K+MgSO4When I signed my morgatge documents my broker was so suprised that my signiture was identical on every line. Well that what happens when you sign it 100 times a shift.
Lists I LOVE them. as a manager now I have 3 or 4 going at once over different things. so satisfying to strike lines through them.
I don't take meds from the bottle ..... I shake them in the cap and then into my hand.
Looking for stuff in my pockets...............when I am home and have no pockets.
My Charge nurse walk. Being 6 ft tall female may account for some of it but it is rapid and directed. No stopping to look at things. Drives friends crazy because I do it when I have had a few drinks as well and am half way down the block before them.
hospital corners (can't blame nursing for that one. I worked in housekeeping as a teenager!)
My belief that most things can be fixed with a good Bowel action. nausea, lethargy, boerdem!
super sonic hearing and also the ability to ignore noises............I can hear a pump the length of the ward but when I hear the NIC phone ring I am suddenly busy.
Super sense of smell............usually not a good thing! - Jan 28 by CT PixieQuote from Little_MouseWhen I made my original post I totally forgot my habit of signing LPN after my name on anything I sign.using short hand at home like the "c" sign for with and "s" for without when I leave notes or even in my personal journal when I feel super lazy....and being more used to measuring things in mLs here in the States!
Little Mouse your post reminded me of my habit of using medical shorthand when writing notes etc. I wrote a note to my daughters teacher and sent it in. She called me later in the day laughing and said, Mrs. Pixie can you decipher what you were trying to tell me? Oh, and I had no idea you were a nurse...your signature gave it away". I didn't even realize I had written the note with medical shorthand.Hygiene Queen likes this.
