For six days of the week the staff prepares all your meals.
Breakfast: We pride ourselves on giving you a great breakfast to start your day, with a choice of cereals, fresh fruit and juices, yoghurts, plentiful English tea and good filter coffee, bread freshly baked in our chalets each morning, cold meats, cheeses and preserves, and boiled eggs. This is normally presented buffet-style for you to help yourself. And to cap it all, we also cook a hot dish of the day for you six days per week, such as sausage and bacon or pancakes with fresh fruit, individually served. On the chalet hosts' day off, they will prepare a Continental style breakfast for you, which will be left for you to help yourselves, and that evening you have the chance to eat out in one of the local cafés or restaurants – our resort team will be happy to provide some suggestions. In our Chalet Hotels, a full buffet breakfast (including hot option) is also served on the staff's day off.
Afternoon Tea: The traditional 'welcome home' after a day on the slopes will be laid out for you in your chalet or Chalet Hotel, ready for your return, every day except on the staff's one day off per week. A good cup of tea or coffee is the perfect accompaniment to a delicious slice of freshly home-baked cake and keeps hungry skiers happy until dinner is ready. Children's High Tea: In Chalets and Chalet Hotels with family guests, High Tea provides children under 13 years with a healthy menu, tailored more towards children's tastes and puréed food is available for infants on request. High Tea is at 5.30pm, and children do not join the main adult-only dinner. Families staying in one of our Chalet Hotels may choose to eat separately (High Tea at 5:30pm) or all dine together at the later adult dinner time if children who have received a child discount pay the meal upgrade charge at the time of booking only.
Dinner: A tasty and innovative, freshly cooked dinner will be prepared for you six nights per week by your Chalet Host - or by an experienced and professional chef in our larger chalets - and served with a choice of wines. Our 4 -course adult-only chalet dinners start with canapés and an apéritif, followed by an appetiser, main course and dessert, and completed by coffee with chocolates to round off your evening. Your choice of complimentary quality wines is unlimited during the meal service, and freshly chilled water is also of course always available.A special feature of our Chalet Hotels is a more extensive culinary experience for our guests. With the greater kitchen facilities of a hotel, our professional chefs are able to offer choices of menu at dinner, generally including lighter as well as more hearty options, and always a vegetarian choice for each course. Guests will be asked to choose their evening meals at breakfast for that evening from a varied daily selection. Vegetarian options are always on our 'Culinary Choice' menu in our Chalet Hotels, and are available in our chalets if you advise us in advance.

L so happy your camping trip turned out better than the previous one, other than the fatality, which would have freaked me out.
I will live vicariously through you ladies and your tales of camping for now. DH has been trying to get me to camp for a while and I did tell him we could go to a state park if we have the money this fall (I won't camp in summer - it is WAY too freaking hot down here for that mess) and I plan on renting a 2bd cabin. It has cable (which I don't even have at home) and AC/heat so I would be okay. Plus they allow dogs so we can take Bruno and not have to board him. That will be as close to camping that I will ever get for now, I did tell DH that in the future I wouldn't mind doing the RV thing, but they cost way too much to rent IMO as we considered RVing cross country to Las Vegas next year for our family reunion. I want to go to the Grand Canyon while we are there as I have never been out west and have always wanted to be a typical tourist and see the Grand Canyon. So I definitely am going to see it via a side trip away from Vegas, which I am not all that interested in anyway since I am not a big gambler. I do want to see Celine Dionne though and one of my favorite comedians George Wallace. I am worried I will be anti-family at the family reunion. It is DH's family and I usually don't have a good time at the reunions since I have to be resident babysitter for everyone's children since they think since I don't drink that I want to babysit all their kids for some reason. This year the old people can baby sit I am going to go do my own thing. This is why I like traveling by myself BTW, I would never do anything I wanted to do traveling with family, either mine or DHs because they have weird assumptions about what I enjoy and their assumptions are incorrect.
I have been too busy watching the Olympics to post much lol! I was so happy that Michael Phelps lost. I have always thought he was pretty vain and I hope Ryan Lochte will beat him in all their events if they go head to head.
Michael Phelps has won 14 gold medals BTW. I feel that is enough. He is going for a record number of medals this year to be the most decorated Olympic competitor in history and I am a bad one because I like "underdogs" so to speak and I would rather someone else win since he has enough medals.

Marco Jennings is part of a tight-knit family, but now the family is rallying around him.
The 40 year-old was hit by a car at Gratiot and 8 Mile approximately 5:30 a.m. Saturday, while walking to his girlfriend's house.
The driver never stopped.
He has broken bones all over his body, and doctors are unable to guarantee he'll be able to walk again.
His only guarantee, in fact, is that he'll have a long, tough recovery.
"You're an awful person, you're a coward," his sister Marcella Craig told Fox 2. "You know what you did. I don't know if you were drunk or what, but you should've stopped to see if he was alright - because you left him in the middle of the street to die."
Doctor's say his condition is critical. He may even lose his legs.
"He's doing really bad. He's broken up real bad and he has to have 4 or 5 more surgeries tomorrow," his sister said. "He has stabilizer bars all through him. I just want to cry, he's in so much pain."
Marco's family wants justice, but they have very little information to give police.
His sister said the person who ran him over was driving a Chevy, but DPD needs more.
If you have any information, please contact the Detroit Police Department.

This is how I envision Mike McCarthy welcoming Clay Matthews back to practice yesterday. Just couldn't possibly come at a better time for the Packers. I just want to run to the roof and shout out, 'I love my best friend Clay!' Clearly with Seneca Wallace as QB we're going to need the defense to be as stout as possible. Especially with the momentum Nick Foles has coming off a 7 TD performance last week. Like really think about that, Nick friekin' Foles is tied for an NFL record with guys like YA Tittle, George Blanda, and Peyton Manning. That would be like me having a random blog explode and being mentioned with Grantland and Huffington Post for most hits in a day. Just absurd. Either way though, we're going to need to hold any team we play to under 20 points for the next three weeks*. I feel like a Seneca Wallace led offense can score 21 points a game as long as we get one touchdown on special teams and defense.
*Adjusted time out yesterday was 4-6 weeks. Can't we get some Reggie White healing powers going Aaron! I remember when I was a kid Reggie would have a compound fracture on Sunday and be back at practice on Wednesday.
PS: Bleacher Report had this video up comparing Seneca Wallace's throwing motion to Uncle Rico's throwing motion. It make me laugh out loud and then cry almost simultaneously. How much you wanna bet he can throw it over 'dem 'der mountains?

Okay, I am obviously still new at this, & this is probably a simple thing to do, but I am having trouble. I have my page completed and have it saved as a png file...I know how to upload the preview JPG to the gallery, but the part I need help with is how to get the full size file sent in so everyone else can receive it. The directions say to zip it & email it or use a file sharing site. Well, from what I have read it seems that png files won't zip. So, is my only option to use a file sharing site instead? If so, my next question is what is a site that is good to use? I know nothing about this, so any help will be much appreciated! :) Thanks!
You certainly can zip PNG files. Try 7-zip. http://www.7-zip.org/ After you install zip, all you have to do is put your layout and preview in a new folder, right click on the folder and choose 7zip->add to "yourfilename".zip and that's it. You're best bet after that is to open a free account at 4shared and upload the zip file to 4shared. www.4shared.com. Then, send the download link over email to Holly to the address listed in the instructions. Hope that helps.
PNG files do zip, but don't compress when they zip. So, you will need to open a free 4shared account. It's really easy to use. Then, you can upload your 20 mb zip file to 4shared. After you upload it, just click on the file, and you will be show the download link. Copy the link to your email for Holly and she can then download it from your 4shared account. :)
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once.

Orange blobs of paint can be spotted on several homes throughout Roseville, the midnight work of a paintball bandit.
"I was just getting ready for bed, I heard, truck go by, then (it sounded like) rapid rocks being thrown at my window," said Roseville resident Debbie Cramer.Cramer's heart nearly stopped when the paintballs started flying.
The vandals had pretty good aim, hitting her Belleair street home and vehicles at least six times.
Nothing was really damaged, but it was pretty scary."I really thought it was gun shots," Cramer said. "I didn't know if it hit the window - I didn't know what it hit, so I was looking all over my walls inside the house looking to see if it was gunshots."The unknown vandals were on a spree, targeting, houses, windows, and cars.Roseville police confirming numerous residents reported being victims of the paintball punks. They say it might be the work of teenagers believing its a harmless prank.
But for those left to clean up the mess, the experience was anything but harmless.
"It's not a prank, we pay good money for our home and vehicles," said Dawn Weiss, who was also victimized.

By Roop RajFox 2 News ReporterSOUTHFIELD, Mich. (WJBK) -- "He would nod at you as he passed by," said Harold Moore. "Maybe he might attempt to say something to you, and he'd go and get his mail and go back to his apartment."Friends of 64-year-old Harold Joseph Collins are talking about him. He had a mouth or throat disorder, making it hard for him to speak. Collins is the man that, according to authorities, walked into the Southfield Police Department on Sunday not saying a word, blankly staring at them. Police say he tried to fire off a shot."The weapon did not discharge at that time. The officers sought cover and called for assistance," said Southfield Police Chief Eric Hawkins.We're told Collins was asked to drop the weapon, but didn't, instead firing at officers."There was an exchange of gunfire. One officer was struck in the shoulder. The suspect was struck multiple times," Hawkins explained.A 27 year veteran of the department, who doesn't want to be identified, has been released from the hospital after being shot in the shoulder. Collins was shot dead by officers. The question, was it suicide by police?"I won't make a conclusive statement on that, but I will say that based on the behavior of this individual, my opinion and the opinion of the investigating officers is that this person was struggling with some very serious internal issues," Hawkins said.Collins lived at an apartment complex just about three or four miles away from the Southfield Police Department. We understand he just came back from the hospital after a month's stay there."Even though he couldn't speak, he had a polite gesture about himself," said Shaka Kuanda. "He had a polite walk about himself. He carried himself well.""It's not just sad, it's unfortunate."The Southfield Police Department is proud of the way this was handled following protocol, but they will review policy again. "This is an example of how having well-trained and well-equipped officers can prevent a situation from becoming a massive tragedy," said Hawkins."He was a veteran... and he served our country," Moore said. "I think we should just pray for him and just understand that they still have problems and we should pay more attention to that now than we do. I think the veterans come home and we kind of let them fall to the wayside and we don't give them another thought."We understand Collins' family is talking to Southfield Police and cooperating with them.

Do you remember on a warm, summer night being scolded when you walked in for dinner and did NOT pay the bathroom sink and bar of soap a visit? I can still hear my mom saying 'Look at your hands! They're filthy! Go wash them, right now... you know better!'
Well, it appears not many of us remembered Mom's squabbling. http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow/doing-wrong-study-says-only-5-wash-hands-221341614.html
So, I can heasr you pointing the ugly end of the stick at me-- No, I may've fudged on my 20 sec wash time. But, now is the time to teach good skills. That way when your kids are all grown up you won't be squeamish when they go to shake your pastor or boss's hands.

I walked into the scrapbooking section of many crafting stores before I finally found the perfect paper for my classroom. Hobby Lobby carries a fabulous set of scrapbook paper featuring many designs in a bright color scheme, and it includes polka-dot paper! This particular set of paper features 3 sheets of each design shown in the borders of the pack and I truly cannot say enough good things. All of the colors (except brown) match my classroom design perfectly.
I did a little research and the online store for Hobby Lobby shows a product with the same SKU # (159319) as my scrapbook paper set, but the cover looks a bit different and it has one review online complaining about the color selection. I truly hope that the cover is the only thing that has changed, because the papers in my packet are lovely.
Here's a close-up photo of the Sterlite drawer makeover. I featured polka dot paper in the drawer front with coordinating stripes (also from the paper set) lining the sides of the sides and upper front portion of each drawer.
Yes, the project was a bit tedious, but my type-A personality secretly relished every moment of the process. And as you can see, the end-result is fabulous! I have three more sets of Sterlite drawers under my computer table and they look great as well. Check back in the fall to see the rest of my polka-dot storage drawers as well as updated classroom photos!
A follow-up to this original post has been published. The update answers many questions about how well Mod Podge would work for the project and also provides info for making templates easily. If you intend to Fancy Up some drawers of your own, you will want to check it out.

To be honest, I wasn't sucked into ABC's new drama Betrayal at all. I'm not a fan of adultery, and it wasn't a show I was even a little intrigued by. Airing it after a show I do like, Revenge, didn't work keeping me around to see the pilot either.
Enter a sleepless night with nothing else to do and On Demand. I thought, what the heck, I'll check it out.
Here is premise...Betrayal stars Hannah Ware stars as Sara Hanley, a beautiful photographer, who begins an affair with Jack McAllister, a lawyer for a powerful family, played by Stuart Townsend.
Both married to other people, Jack and Sara find themselves
drawn to one another. The premise also revolves around a murder trial,
which involves both of them on separate sides which makes things even
more complicated.
Hannah and Stuart are very attractive actors, but other than that...I didn't find anything I liked about the show. Nothing. The characters and the writing were bland. Boring.
I thought I'd give it another shot, maybe my sleepless night put me in a bad mood so I checked out the second episode. I couldn't even get through 15 minutes of it. Yuck. Total suckage.
Betrayal gets a F from me.
Disclaimer. I'm not a professional television critic, just a woman who talks on the radio for a living.

In an emailed Wardrobe Advisory sent by the CBS's Standards and Practices committee, Grammys attendees were cautioned against sheer see-through clothing, "thong type costumes" and "exposing bare fleshy under curves of the buttocks and buttock crack. Bare sides or under curvature of the breasts is also problematic." But some stars, predictably, still pushed the boundaries.

Hi, I'm Amy Smart and I like to share my quilting adventures at my blog Diary of a Quilter. I'm excited to share a tutorial for a sweet little baby quilt using a couple of Charm Packs and a contrasting sashing fabric.
1 yard sashing fabric (corrected)
1½ yards backing fabric
3/8 yard binding
Collect (50) 5" squares from either 2 Charm Packs or a Charm Pack + (8) 5" squares from a coordinating Fat Quarter or two.
From Binding Fabric cut:
(4) 2 ½" x wof (width of fabric) fabric strips (or 180" of continuous bias binding)
(2) 5" x wof (width of fabric) strips
(1) 7 ½" x wof strip
(10) 1 ½" x wof strips
From one of the 5" x wof strips, cut (2) 4 1/8" squares. Cut each square once on the diagonal. You will have (4) corner-setting triangles.
From remaining 5" strips cut (40) 1½" x 5" pieces
One pretty 36" x 48" quilt for your favorite new baby. This quilt is for my brand new niece.
I hope you enjoy this fun little project - perfect for using all the sweet Charm Packs that are available right now.
Amy Smart

Rated 3 out of 5Â by Hails Awesome! I love these pants! I'm 5'2 and I got youth large, and it fit really nicely. I do have to roll it once but I'm fine with that. They are perfect for running because they are a little snug. April 16, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Nkenge Great fit, even for petite women! I love these pants! Got them in grey & am definately getting a black pair. I got size YL & I wear them right above my hips which measure to about 30in. I'm also 5'6" making them reach right below my ankle. They're not too short & fit loosely at the thighs, slimming down to my ankles, just like the picture. If you have a slim figure & not as tall, you could definately pass for a kids YL or YXL. April 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Momto1 Awsome My son loved the fit they are made wonderfully. They have that sorta skinny jean type fit. They were delivered in 3 days on time and the best part was the shipping was free. The worst part is getting them off of him to wash haha April 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by K. T. Comfortable These pants are very comfortable. I am 5'-2", 110lbs. I use it for the gym and they fit great! I bought a medium but may try a small for a slimmer fit. June 26, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by kelnis Super comfy! I'm a smaller woman, so I purchased the youth large. I love the pants, except for after the first wash the zipper on the right pocket already broke. I wasn't too happy about that, but still a great fit! I'll just have to use the left pocket more often! April 20, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Jperez Best pants ever Great service in tinton falls store she loves her pants thank you May 8, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Kinah Cool pants for kids The pants run a little big, but the length is good. My son is tall and slim. He's 9 and I ordered a small. They're a little baggy, but if I would've gotten a size 7 I'm afraid the length would've been too short. The length on the small is good for him. April 17, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by otf_mal adidas tiro experience These pants are great for any sport nd recommend to anyone to purchase. July 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by TigerNana Nice quality I bought these pants for my grandson originally in a youth medium. He loved them, but they were too long. We reordered them in a youth small and they fit perfect. He is a small 11 year old so the medium might be okay for kids his age with a little more height. The quality is very good and he was thrilled with them. He has already worn them to practice and he said they were warm, yet lightweight and easy to get on and off when he warmed up during the practice. January 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by vtsoccerboys Everyday soccer pants He never wants to take them off. Super comfy. Look nice for school too (dressier than regular sweatpants.) January 3, 2014

Frank Loverde
I notice that you have a memorial begun for Frank before the one transferred to me by Ron West. Ron picked it up from the database in Santa Maria, Ca at the Cemetery District. He is buried in Santa Maria with his Mother. His Dad is there, too.
I manage the whole family of Loverdes here in Santa Maria. I notice that you are primarily building some great virtual cemeteries. I really loved the Laugh In entries. But I think it's right for one of us to close a memorial.
You were first, and so you get the opportunity to keep Frank. I would like to keep him with his parents in Santa Maria; but if you will take all three Loverdes, develop Frank's more fully, then I will transfer all three to you.
Let me know, and Best Wishes.

WASHTINGTON D.C. (WTAQ) - If the Humane Society of the United States has its way, there will never be a repeat of Wisconsin's wolf-hunting season.
The animal rights-and-preservation group filed a lawsuit in Washington this afternoon against the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and President Obama's Interior Department.
The lawsuit asked the courts to put Upper Midwest grey wolves back on the federal endangered species list.
It said the government's decision to de-list Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan wolves threatens the animals' overall recovery.
Other plaintiffs in the lawsuit are the Friends of Animals, Help Our Wolves Live, and Born Free USA.
Wisconsin has been above its wolf population quota for years – and the excess animals have killed farm livestock and damaged crops.
That's why Wisconsin adopted a wolf hunt, in which 117 animals were shot and trapped in just over two months.
The season was supposed to end this month, but the hunting quota was reached in late December.
Humane Society lawyer Jonathan Lovvorn said the hunts took place quote, "hostile state management programs that encourage dramatic reductions in wolf populations." He said the removal from the endangered list was quote, "the only line of defense for wolf populations" which are being pushed to the "brink of extinction."
The Fish-and-Wildlife Service said the wolf population had recovered – and as a result, it did what was required by law.

Because surely there must have been a parade somewhere in Detroit on Thursday after Police Chief Ralph Godbee announced he expects there to be "well under 300" homicides in the city this year.
That would have to be a 50-year low.
Believe that and I've got some low-mileage squad cars to sell you.
You can look at it statistically or you can look at it anecdotally, but neither I nor the citizens believe the chief's whopper. Not after an 84-year-old man was gunned down in church parking during bible study the evening before. Not after former Police Chief Stanley Knox was mugged while mowing his lawn. The city council, the police commissioners, the mayor himself have proclaimed the streets out of control and the police chief continues to feed NutraSweet to the diabetics.
The chief is torturing the numbers here. He factors out "justifiable homicides" -- whereby a person takes the life of another to protect his own. Nearly 10 percent of the country's total of justifiable homicides occur right here in the Motor City. And it is an important gauge of how lawless the city has become when a private citizen has to kill. Officially, there were 344 criminal homicides in Detroit last year and 35 justifiable. That's 379.
And if we are talking about criminal homicides only, then Thursday we were dead even with last year – 115, according to people in a position to know.
Not 90 minutes after the chief's announcement, a 16-year-old was mowed down. Hours after that, a man was killed at the side of a house. The police responded, but the next morning, it was a news crew that found a gun that could be the murder weapon. Sheesh.
Mark Twain famously said, "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics."
Mr. Twain it is safe to assume hasn't familiarized himself with the latest Detroit public safety statistics. Cops not answering calls, fire officials fudging the arson numbers, the ambulance system guessing at its response time. All the while, the people are repeatedly told things are getting better.
"Crime's getting better?" an old woman said to me outside City Hall. "And I'm getting younger."
More now that ever, honesty in city government is paramount. The mayor has proposed an 18 percent cut to the police force and a 13 percent cut to the fire department all based on the voodoo statistics.
The chief says he needs to cut more than 100 cops by July 1 to make his budget. That's the bad news. But then he offered this cherry to cheer us up: he will ramp-up the police reserve unit. I for one wasn't convinced, as one of the geriatric reserves standing behind him was adjusting his dentures.
Media stunts and gimmick accounting ain't gonna cut it. It's time to get real. The busy season hasn't even started yet.

Role Clarification: Who Assesses Spirituality?
To be complete, holistic care should include assessing patients' spiritual needs. This spiritual assessment process is typically done either by a screening completed by a non-chaplain or a spiritual assessment administered by a clinical pastoral care giver–a chaplain. This premise presents several questions: 1) What is the role of non-chaplains in the spiritual assessment process? 2) What skills or expertise are needed by non-chaplains to administer spiritual screenings? And 3) What are the differences between spiritual screening and spiritual assessment?
The purposes of this article are (1) to argue that the profession of clinical chaplaincy is necessary for assessing spiritual needs of patients who have been referred to the Chaplaincy after an initial spiritual screening and (2) to show that special training is needed when non-chaplains are involved in the spiritual screening process.
In health care today, a whole-person care approach is being advocated. This means that clinicians are encouraged to view persons through many "lenses"--physical, emotional, psychological, social and spiritual. These varying lenses allow for a patient to receive different approaches to their care. "Good health care is incomplete without each of these aspects" (Cook, 2001).
Because addressing the spiritual dimension of each patient is recognized as necessary, if one believes in holistic care, the prerequisite of having clinically trained professionals available is essential. Who then is qualified to collect and assess information for treatment of spiritual needs? It has been argued that, though spiritual distress is an acknowledged phenomenon, no "specialized training" is needed to recognize and meet some if not all of a patient's spiritual needs (Di Meo, 1991). However, research by VandeCreek and McSherry (1993) found that some nurses don't feel comfortable discussing spiritual matters with their patients. It would seem then that involvement by someone trained to address spiritual needs would be beneficial. Chaplains are the clinical professionals qualified by specialized training and experience to both identify and respond to spiritual issues.
Training by chaplains is needed for nurses and other clinical persons, particularly to instruct in the identification of spiritual pain, and when to refer to the chaplain. One survey revealed that many nurses did not fully understand the role of the chaplain, and they requested more in-service training (Bryant, 1993); in another study, 94% of nurses felt pastoral care was a professional resource and as many as 78% made referrals to chaplains (VandeCreek & McSherry, 1993). While nurses may feel that chaplains are a vital resource, not all understand the role of the chaplain. This lack of understanding impacts directly upon pastoral care delivery.
Hospital chaplains continue to express concern that their clinical role as the experts chiefly responsible for addressing spiritual issues has not yet gained the acknowledgment of many professional groups—that their clear role in medicine is being chiefly responsible for addressing the spiritual issues as they relate to health problems. Like social workers, chaplains hope for and work toward achievement of autonomy, being respected as a clinical discipline that provides significant and essential care to the patient. In reality, it often occurs that where chaplains expect to perform assessments and diagnoses as professionals in their own domain, other groups expect a shared arena (Cowles, 1995).
The delineation of function is important to address because of the contemporary holistic model. In hospitals, professional individual skills are used to enhance the outcome of the patient's plan of care. In order to do this, the inter-disciplinary approach is utilized. Therefore, it is vital that each discipline acknowledges the importance of the other. This serves to acknowledge that some functions overlap such as collecting sundry information, reporting on a patient's pain, or asking about advance directives. "Pastoral care does not occur in a void, but within a matrix of social processes" (Klugh, 2000). Therefore, just as a physician, nurse or social worker provides specialized care to the patient, so also does the chaplain as a specialist. The role of the chaplain helps and encourages the patient toward spiritual growth (Streed) which ultimately influences healing (Matthews, 1998).
A role is the set of expectations others have for the occupant of a position. The role of the chaplain pertains to people's perceptions about how chaplains ought to act in a given situation. People's expectations of the chaplain's role may be limited. They may feel that chaplains are there to pray and bless but not to make diagnoses or make judgements.
Chaplains can reduce role confusion first by defining what it is they are uniquely qualified to do. Secondly, chaplains must demonstrate competence in areas such as spirituality assessment, pastoral psychotherapy, spiritual interventions and bioethics, to name a few. Thirdly, chaplains must be engaged with other disciplines, and cultivate relationships with management to educate all of them on what it is chaplains contribute to holistic health care. Finally, chaplains clarify their role and successfully differentiate its distinctiveness in the larger system by stressing the legitimacy of its religious perspective (Furniss, 1994).
In modern times, when a person feels sick, s/he may go to a health care giver to get a diagnosis and prescribed treatment. Ill parishioners are often diagnosed by a medical doctor or a psychiatrist, who knows more than the pastor does about assessing human beings when they complain of physical or mental problems. But do patients know that they can have their situation viewed from another perspective that would work in concert with the medical model? If they knew, would certain persons want to have a more complete assessment of themselves, turning to the chaplain for expert help in making a diagnosis for their troubles? Would they want a chaplain, rather than some other specialist to guide them in their search for wellness or meaning? What if they wanted a pastoral-theological framework rather than a medical or social perspective? What if they wanted to be in several professional hands at once (Pruyser, 1976)? When holistic care is advocated and spirituality is considered important, then the next step is to ensure that patients know what specialty provides clinical pastoral care. That specialty is the chaplaincy.
Again, pastoral care occurs in a matrix of social processes (Klugh, 2000). It is the chaplain who is trained to provide spiritual support across organizational boundaries and across faith groups while respecting individualized spirituality. Many persons turn to spiritual resources during illness and other painful experiences, finding them helpful; thus the need to identify spiritual distress is not only important, but it begs another issue--the need for a process and identified roles to provide appropriate interventions by competent pastoral care givers (Burton & VandeCreek).
Due to limited resources, chaplains are not always able to meet every patient at intake. Utilizing a referral model that employs a type of "spiritual triage" is one way of dealing with resource constraints (see Klugh, 1999) .
A spiritual screening is an attempt to determine preliminary spiritual information about a patient from answers that the patient has given to selected queries. A screening suggests a short inquiry in order to determine whether further care is needed in a particular area or if a referral is indicated. Naturally, busy practitioners are concerned about the time commitment required to obtain a spiritual history. In some situations, requisite data can be collected incrementally over a period of several visits as a matter of on-going pastoral care (Maugans, 1996).
The formation of screening questions will most effectively originate from the specialists to whom the patient may be referred. Examples could include dentistry, social service, mental health, cardiology or clinical chaplaincy. In other words, because the receiving discipline has special expertise, it is best suited to provide criteria which other disciplines can use to make decisions for referral needs. The results of a spiritual screening (triage) will likely differ based on the knowledge and comfort of the person asking the questions.
The nursing profession has made a major contribution to chaplaincy in the form of its 1978 Spiritual Diagnosis Taxonomy. While this taxonomy is not a substitution for qualitative assessment of a patient's spiritual life, which clinical chaplains do, it does provide a language which chaplains and nurses can use in common to describe levels of spiritual need (Stoddard). During the intake process the nurse observes the patient, reflects on his/her observations, and allows the patient to either validate or correct his or her perceptions. Although a nurse can ask a patient spiritually related questions that can provide clues to a person's beliefs and concerns, the nurse is not trained to know what those clues mean. The items that the nurse observes may have significant religious meaning but such observations need further clarification ( Carson, 1989). This describes a type of spiritual screening. In other words, the nurse is trying to determine something about the patient's spirituality. Screening suggests a short examination in order to select or to determine whether further referral is needed. A non-chaplain can administer a spiritual screening, but even this requires special training.
A common understanding of the screening instrument, its purpose and value as a referral tool, and competency in its application with patients require specialized preparation, regardless of the religious background of the intake personnel. This training is appropriately provided by clinical pastoral care givers.
Assessment is akin to screening but implies an analysis of collected data or a thoroughness that screening does not. An assessment involves additional time and skill. A spiritual assessment, for example, involves noting how theological understandings coupled with various belief structures affect the individual's present physical or psychological pain. Presumably, nurses have time to take a screening of patients' spiritual concerns during the intake process, but it is probable that they do not have the time and qualifications to assess the meanings of what they learn or observe. Therefore, there is a strong need to refer to the appropriate clinical specialty, where more time and expertise is allowed for further assessment. A nurse's personal understanding and attitude toward such profound questions as the meaning of life, suffering, and death will affect the attention given to patients' spiritual needs (Highfield & Cason, 1983). The hospital chaplain understands the workings of the heart (emotions) and the language of the soul (theology) as well as a working knowledge of the body (Driscoll, 1994); therefore, s/he is the appropriate clinician to further assess the patient.
Theoretical perspectives guide spiritual assessments and interventions in situations of spiritual need and distress. One perspective is theology. Through theology, the chaplain gains a broader understanding of the spiritual dimension by addressing a person's beliefs about the nature of God or acknowledged Higher Power and the authority or guidance provided by this Higher Power. A person's theology serves to shape beliefs about life and the meaning of these experiences (Farran, Fitchett, Quiring-Emblen, & Burck, 1989).
The activities of clinical chaplains include diverse interactions with patients and families, professional staff, and community members. While chaplain staffing is an on-going challenge, teaming with nursing to address the spiritual dimension of a patient's care is essential. Nurses can and do have a valuable, though limited, role and function in taking spiritual screenings. S/he helps to identify need through asking questions and observing behaviors of the patient related to spiritual issues, but because of limitations of time and the lack of specialized professional training, a referral to chaplaincy is appropriate.
Chaplains are the appropriate clinical discipline to conduct thorough spiritual assessments, which may include any or all of the following: spiritual history, religious formation, various spiritual injuries, theodicy, faith questions, crisis of faith, god-concepts/images, concepts of death, spiritual direction, life summaries, hope building, alienation from God, suffering and much more. The clinical chaplain is the trained professional who has the theological and philosophical training along with the clinical skills through individual and group training to thoroughly appraise a person's spiritual health.
This article seeks to provide a definition of spiritual screening and of spiritual assessment along with delineating the roles of non-chaplains and chaplains in the giving of holistic health care. Limited resources such as time and personnel greatly affect the delivery of care in institutions. Therefore streamlining processes that allow for optimum utilization of providers is paramount. All specialists, physicians, nurses, social workers and chaplains, are needed for the good of the patient. It is essential that each discipline has a familiarity with the other disciplines in order to know when to make a referral and to whom to refer.
Just as all clinicians are trained to assess physical pain, all would benefit from being trained to be aware of spiritual pain. But just as physical pain is further assessed by nursing and the physician, a clinically trained chaplain is prepared to further assess (treat) a patient's spiritual pain. Clinical chaplains are trained to provide individualized interventions while maintaining appropriate boundaries with the patient. Others, not professionally trained, run the risk of violating sacred boundaries.

Increasing Access to Health Care
The MEDEX mission focuses on expanding access to healthcare for the medically underserved and in rural and remote settings throughout the five-state northwest service region. MEDEX is designed as a second-career program, enrolling students with prior clinical experience, which is the first step on the way toward becoming a highly skilled PA.
Training Generalists
The MEDEX classroom (didactic) curriculum has grown and developed throughout the program's history (since 1969), with the consistent mission of training generalists who will most flexibly increase access to healthcare. The competency-based design integrates and reinforces material across courses in an organ system approach.
Clinical Experiences
The MEDEX clinical year builds on the program mission. The core experience is a 4-month primary care continuity experience called the preceptorship. Additional 4-week clinical experiences include emergency medicine, general surgery, inpatient internal medicine, behavioral medicine, a medically underserved rotation and one elective. All of these rotations develop and reinforce a generalist skill set for those who are planning careers in primary care.
Team Relationships
The primary care preceptorship emphasizes the relationship between the supervising physician and the PA student, and also includes a full-day site visit and evaluation by a MEDEX faculty member. Preceptorships are also utilized as a recruitment strategy for primary care clinics, who often choose to employ PA students who trained there.
Application Cycle
The 2014/2015 application deadline is fast approaching! Both the CASPA application and MEDEX supplemental application are required for applying to MEDEX Northwest. Links to both applications are available on the Apply to MEDEX page. The final deadline for application is October 1st – both applications must be complete at submitted on or before the deadline.

This is a slight variation of an existing submission, but uses regular expression to look for files instead. This makes it vastly more versatile, and one can easily verify the files to be kept by running ls | egrep "[REGULAR EXPRESSION]"
Thanks for the submit! My alternative produces summaries only for directories. The original post additionally lists all files in the current directory. Sometimes the files, they just clutter up the output. Once the big directory is located, *then* worry about which file(s) are consuming so much space.
If you want to relocate a package on your own, or you just want to know what those PREIN/UN and POSTIN/UN scripts will do, this will dump out all that detail simply.
You may want to expand the egrep out other verbose flags like CHANGELOGTEXT etc, as your needs require.
It isn't clear, but the formatting around $tag is important: %{$tag} just prints out the first line, while [%{$tag }] iterates thru multi-line output, joining the lines with a space (yes, there's a space between the g and } characters. To break it out for all newlines, use [%{$tag\n}] but the output will be long.
This is aside from rpm2cpio | cpio -ivd to extract the package files.
lists all files that are opened by processess named $processname
egrep 'w.+REG' is to filter out non file listings in lsof, awk to get the filenames, and sort | uniq to remove duplciation
Please install aria2c before you try the above command. On ubuntu the command to install aria2c would be:
sudo aptitude install aria2
This command is jsut for the main IP settings of ndd. if you need ip6 or icmp edit the text within the egrep inclusion area.

Can be used in a working copy to output the URL (extracted from svn info), or as part of another function, as $(svnurl some/path). Saves a lot of time in my SVN workflow.
Comcast is an ISP in the United States that has started hijacking DNS requests as a "service" for its customers. For example, in Firefox, one used to be able to do a quick "I'm Feeling Lucky" Google search by typing a single word into the URL field, assuming the word is not an existing domain when surrounded by www.*.com. Comcast customers never receive the correct NX (non-existent domain) error from DNS. Instead, they are shown a page full of advertising. There is a way to "opt out" from their service, but that requires having the account password and the MAC address of your modem handy. For me, it was easier just to set static DNS servers. But the problem is, which ones to choose? That's what this command answers. It'll show you the three _non-hijacked_ Comcast DNS servers that are the shortest distance away.
Perhaps you don't have Comcast (lucky you!), but hopefully this command can serve as an example of using netselect to find the fastest server from a list. Note that, although this example doesn't show it, netselect will actually perform the uniq and DNS resolution for you.
Requires: netselect, curl, sort, uniq, grep
Same thing just a different way to get there. You will need lynx
For the record: I didn't build this. Just shared what I found that worked. Apologies to the original author!
I decided I should fix the case where http://example.com is not matched for the next time I need this. So I read rfc1035 and formalized the host name regex.
