How many times have you heard that one? The old stereotype built in by years of media, bluster and self-aggrandisation...the "all-powerful" doctor who knew it all, blew everyone away with their knowledge, their skills, their arrogance...whisper it softly perhaps even God like in their ability and demeanour...healers weren't they? They told the patients what to do...and they did. They told the nurses what to do...and it happened. A paternalistic model doesn't develop overnight, does it?
But then times changed...the world changed...patients, quite rightly, found their voice, became more inquisitive about their care, tried to know more about why their care may have faltered….and then found their Gods, self-styled or otherwise, wanting. And as sure as what happens when you see your hero or deity slip, obeisance changed to disappointment, disappointment then moved to anger. How dare they? How dare they fail their duties? The disappointment in seeing these God like creatures be fallible, be prone to the same errors as others, with the same foibles hurt...the angst was palpable. But slowly but surely the tide has started to change...even the media has started to move on. Yes, most of the Consultants are still ridiculously charming, handsome, sweeping folks off their feet, but the George Clooneys and Patrick Dempseys were also fallible, with emotions, making mistakes….perception is key, isn't it? How big a role the media plays in the depiction of anything...all you need to look is at the public perception of success of CPRs and the disproportionate attachment to reality.
The bigger question is who wanted the God like status...perhaps it was society in those ages, perhaps it was the desire of some, perhaps it was the wish of many..who knows. What I do know is that in a modern era, that's not a title most young guns who have become Consultants want...(though recently a vascular trainee did do his best to change my romantic view on that) and to be honest, unless we shed such ridiculous artificial notions, you can forget about any level of patient or staff engagement.
Let's make it crystal clear what doctors are…Human beings, trained to do a specific job, at the cost of the taxpayer. Human beings with exactly the same amount of foibles as anyone else…Possessing the same level of angst, empathy, indifference, passion, tiredness as anyone else. Let's not elevate them to the level of Gods as I can guarantee you it will, as it already has, end in disappointment.
By the same token, don't say they are servants either. That implies lesser rights than others, a person at the whim of others, a person who must serve their masters, come day, night or otherwise. Let me repeat again...they are human beings with same needs, same desire to sit down with their families at end of day, same need to enjoy the latest Marvel movie and talk silly with their kids, same interest to go out with their friends and enjoy a drink or two. I know there are many who like to label themselves as servants, public servants, servant leaders…wrong terminology, wrong perception- and by your evangelism, you tar the majority who are struggling to battle the everyday pressures while balancing their own lives. Use that tag...you can kiss engagement goodbye too. They/We are paid by the tax payers...do please hold us to account but don't give us tags that create an illusion.
The system, as I say, with any topic of discussion, is always like a pendulum….swinging from one extreme to another. Yesterday's God needs to be todays servant is the chant- the reality is that patient engagement or staff engagement, as always, is a 2 way street. Treat patients with respect, they engage….doctors are no different either. I am pretty sure I echo many when I say I am no God, neither am I anyone's servant. Just a professional trying to do his job, with passion and desire to improve patient care. On the way, mistakes will be made and all one can promise is to learn from that and make things better.
Treat me as a God….absolute power in the end corrupts absolutely…treat me as a servant…in the words of Charles De Gaulle.."In order to be come the master, the politician poses as the servant".
I have no desire for that either. Have a great week ahead.

"Are Unpaid Internships Legal in Ontario?"
The Ontario Ministry of Labour has posted a policy document on its website, titled "Are Unpaid Internships Legal in Ontario? (June 2011)". The policy document reads as follows:
The Ministry of Labour is committed to ensuring fairness and protecting young workers. The fact that you are called an "intern" does not determine whether or not you are entitled to the protections of the Employment Standards Act, 2000 (ESA), including the minimum wage. read more »
The legal implications of engaging volunteers
Here are the three best resources I have found on the web that address the legal issues organizations in Canada should be aware of when engaging volunteers:
- "Volunteers and The Law" (April 2007), prepared by David Stout and Loreen Irvine, lawyers at Nelligan O'Brien Payne in Ottawa;
- "Volunteers & the law: A guide for volunteers, organizations and boards" (2000), prepared the People's Law School; and
- "Volunteers" Employment Standards fact sheet, Government of Manitoba.

I'm certain that some of you have seen this, but I'm just as sure that many of you have not, and it really should be added to the JK – Just Kidneying archives for posterity's sake if nothing else.
On the morning of Friday, Nov. 18, 2011 – a date that will live in happy history for me as the date of my kidney transplant – I was lying on a gurney in a pre-op area of Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, flying high on that happy juice they pump into you to "relax" you prior to surgery, when my artificial bliss was interrupted by a complete stranger.
Unbeknownst to me, the Just Kidneying blog had become very popular in certain sections of Barnes-Jewish, including the hospital's public relations department. My unknown visitor was a PR person for the hospital who had heard I was in the complex for my operation and wanted to interview me for the Barnes-Jewish transplantation blog, "The Rare Gift".
Now? Right this very second?
Karen, who was interviewed for the video clip as well, had spent the night before with me in this cramped room, losing sleep with nervous anticipation, and like me had not enjoyed the benefit of hot water, deodorant or a mirror. At that moment, I gained an inkling of how celebrities must feel when they are asked for autographs or photos at the most inconvenient times.
But I have become such an advocate for transplantation, the Barnes-Jewish team and organ donation, I hardly could refuse such a request.
This was the result:
Needless to say, I think I've been better!
But as you know, all's well that ends well, and given how the surgery turned out it's been a long time since I've been any better than this.
Postscript: As we begin 2012 together, this post marks my 100th blog entry since I began Just Kidneying in September 2009. Pretty amazing for someone who never had any intention of ever writing a blog. As Bartles & Jaymes (remember them?) used to say on those wine-cooler TV commercials, "Thank you for your continued support."

Lately I found myself being in the mood for some really light chick lit, the kind that really won't make you think to much of what is happening in the book but it rather takes you into some fantasy world, and you end up asking yourself - do people really have these kinds of problems? Most probably some do, but I think the big majority don't.
So, to nurture my easy reading itch, I picked up the sequel from the famous The devil wears Prada, easily named Revenge wears Prada. One advice for you - don't ready the book, wait for the movie if it comes. You know what they say ,and its true in 99% of the cases, that the book is much better than the movie? Well, not the case here.
I quite enjoyed The Devil wears Prada movie and am sure that the sequel will be nice as well, but the book - not really worth it. It starts showing where Andy is 10 years after quitting Runway magazine and most of the times is brings back flashes of explanations from the past to show some sort if continuity between the books. She has a new boyfriend and then husband, she's friends with the much-dreaded 1st assistant, Emily Charlton, she owns her own magazine now (of course), meets up with Miranda Devil Priestly, things heat up - they end up selling the magazine to her, she gets a divorce and in the end gets back with Alex - the boyfriend from book 1. The end! Really, that's all there is!
I am avid reader and I love books, but most of all, I love to understand what the writer wanted to convey as message. Because of that, most of the times I stick till the end of the book, even if I am not quite fond of it. So as you can see, I don't really recommend this book, just wait for the movie, I am sure that the story will be translated much better on the screens than in written form.
Next up on my night stand - Sega: Spiritual adventures in Nepal - the story of an ordinary guy who used to be a copywriter at McCann. The guy has a great sense of humor so I am quite excited to see how he built his story. Will make a review once I am done!
Happy mid-week friends! Be good!

"Famined Africans build water tanks, aided by LDS Church" — KSL
Reporter Jesse Hyde visited the Horn of Africa, where drought has devastated the region for the past three years. Hyde says the Church is "on the front lines of this crisis, along with some of the world's biggest and most respected humanitarian organizations."
One of those organizations is International Relief and Development (IRD). Hyde says:
Last September, during the height of the crisis, IRD reached out to the LDS Church, a long-time partner, to pay for trucking water to villages that needed it most — 20,000 liters a day to 22 villages. Looking to the future, IRD and LDS Charities identified 13 sites to build birkits, or cement storage tanks, that would catch rain water.

"Mormons and Charity" — AmericaMagazine.org
John J. Dilulio Jr. reports on the recent study led by Ram A. Cnaan that focuses on the generous charitable donations and volunteerism of active Latter-day Saints in the United States.
In attempting to examine the reasons why Mormons are so generous, Dilulio says:
Research suggests the secret to filling church coffers and packing the pews while simultaneously stimulating robust ministries that benefit needy nonmembers is what a religion does to induce intrafaith friendships, transcend Sunday-only ties and foster widespread participation in faith-motivated, civic good works for people in need.

"New Mormon temple prepares for opening" — KCTV 5
After touring the Kansas City Missouri Temple, KCTV 5 reporter Heather Staggers reports that "the temple is considered sacred [and] is not used for Sunday worship (that's in the meetinghouse), but for sacred ordinances only."
She also talks with Elder Donald D. Deshler, a member of the Church's Seventy, who says a Latter-day Saint temple in the Kansas City area will strengthen familial relationships for those who attend.
"[The temple] does strengthen members, strengthen families because they have an opportunity to attend on a regular basis and they don't need to travel so far," Elder Deshler says. "As members of the Church, we are just thrilled to have the temple this close to us."

"Who Speaks for Mormonism?" — Religion News Service
Religion writer and blogger Jana Riess provides insights about the proper journalistic approach to covering The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and its members.
"Everyone who has ever been involved in Mormonism … has some kind of Mormon story," she writes. "In that sense they — we — can and should speak for Mormonism. We do not speak for the LDS Church, however, and we can't claim expert status merely on the basis of limited involvement and cursory knowledge of Mormonism. Reporters should try to achieve balance … and Mormon pundits should adopt measures of accountability."
Read Riess's entire commentary.
"Are there female leaders in the LDS Church?" — MormonWoman.org
A common question asked of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is "Do Mormon women lead in the Church?" A post from the blog Mormon Women answers this question in the affirmative.
In addition to speaking to all Mormons during the Church's semiannual general conferences (one of which will take place this Saturday and Sunday), women leaders address millions of Latter-day Saint women across the world during satellite broadcasts. For example, this past Saturday, 24 March, the Church's Young Women general presidency (positions filled by women) taught girls ages 12 to 18 in a worldwide meeting that originated from Temple Square in Salt Lake City. (You can watch the full meeting here.)
The author of the blog post tells of the impact the Church's women leaders have had on her. After witnessing the Church's Young Women general president, Elaine S. Dalton, speak at a previous meeting, the author was struck by Dalton's strong influence and sincerity.
Not only did I feel the power and righteous influence she has for a worldwide audience of youth and their leaders, I also witnessed the personal love and concern she has for individuals. Watching her made me think of the Savior and His love.
On another occasion, the author was able to see Julie B. Beck, general president of the Relief Society (the Church's global organization for women 18 years and over), teach more than 10,000 women at a training meeting in Idaho.
"I was again struck not only at the clarity with which she taught a multitude of people, but also to see how she cares for the one," the author says. "After the meeting, she was mingling with attendees, extending her love and support."
Links are also provided to comments Beck made in an interview with the Mormon Channel in which she answers women's questions about using time wisely, blogging, reading and media use.

"Salt Lake City storehouse at top of Mormon food chain" — The Salt Lake Tribune
The Tribune's Brooke Adams has an extensive piece about the Church's new Bishops' Central Storehouse. She notes that caring for the poor is one of the Church's core missions and that the storehouse "is the centerpiece of the LDS Church's intricate network for taking care of its members and lending a hand to others in times of natural disasters, putting scriptural encouragements into action in the aftermath of hardship, hurricanes, floods, fires and earthquakes across the nation and around the world."
Adams also correctly points out that the Church's welfare program is not a dole system. "A recipient [of welfare products] may be asked, for example, to help clean a church or fix a widow's fence in exchange for aid," Adams writes.
Noting responses to previous disasters such as the Haiti's 2010 earthquake and Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Adams says the Bishops' Central Storehouse, which is mission control during disasters, has a history of responding so quickly that it has drawn the attention of outside agencies.
[The storehouse] can dispatch food, supplies and volunteers anywhere in the United States within 12 hours to 18 hours of a disaster, though it often reacts even quicker — a feat, [storehouse manager Richard] Humpherys said, that has triggered visits from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Defense Department and other government agencies wanting to know how the Mormons do it.

"Mormon church celebrates relief-giving women's group" — Columbia Missourian
The Relief Society — the Church's organization for women — marked its 170th anniversary on 17 March, and the Columbia Missourian has taken notice. Because the article's sources are Latter-day Saint women in the Columbia area who are heavily involved in local Relief Society activities, readers are provided with an accurate glimpse of what it's like to be a part of one of the largest women's organizations in the world.
Jeanne Lambson, a counselor in a local stake (similar to a Catholic diocese) Relief Society presidency, explains how Relief Society encourages selflessness.
Reaching out and helping others through humanitarian projects and just compassionate service — like if someone's sick, taking in a meal — make you a better person because you're not just thinking about yourself. You're growing emotionally, you're growing spiritually, because you're caring for others.
Laura Jost, humanitarian specialist in the same stake, says Relief Society service is meant to bless people of all faiths.
In my mind, I'm not saving anybody's life, but I'm maybe making it a little bit easier on them. It's nice to have quilts for your babies, like through First Chance for Children. It's nice to have hats to cover up a cancer patient's head. You just try to help people. … We don't question faith if we're going to do something for somebody. We're all brothers and sisters.

"Mormons need not be such a mystery" — Cincinnati Enquirer
Rather than only using sources outside the Church to describe the Mormon life, this reporter allows several Latter-day Saints to define themselves. And while acknowledging that heightened exposure piques public interest in the Church, the article says, "It's time to stretch the so-called 'Mormon Moment' into a real conversation. That's the place to define doctrines, explain practices and put on the table controversies — as well as qualities as rarely explored as awe."
"Mormonism Obsessed With Christ" — First Things
Stephen Webb, a professor of religion at Wabash College, points out the importance of Jesus Christ in Latter-day Saint doctrine. He writes that Latter-day Saint teachings are "obsessed with Christ" and are "meant to awaken, encourage, and expand faith in him." He says, "what gives Christianity its identity is its commitment to the divinity of Jesus Christ. And on that ground Mormons are more Christian than many mainstream Christians who do not take seriously the astounding claim that Jesus is the Son of God."
Webb also describes reading the Book of Mormon. Every page, he writes, "prepares the way for its stunning climax, which is a literal appearance of Jesus to the ancient peoples of America." Webb points out that while other faiths do not teach that the resurrected Lord visited the Americas, Webb says he can't understand why other Christians would take issue with scripture that expounds on the divinity of Jesus Christ.

"Inside One Mormon Family: Raising Faithful Children" — Patheos.com
Blogger Rosalynde Welch discusses her upbringing in a Latter-day Saint home with loving parents who taught her and her siblings to think freely and critically. "When it comes to family environment, I won the lottery. My parents are ordinary humans with ordinarily imperfect kids, but they created a family environment that equipped us extraordinarily well to meet faith challenges without fear, betrayal, or emotional crisis." Read more.
"NYC to SLC" — The Salt Lake Tribune
Guest columnist Arjune Rama writes of his experience moving from New York to Salt Lake City. "And what has been my 'Mormon experience' in Utah? I hardly notice it at all. I think people have knocked on our door once or twice. No one has suggested that I take on more wives. In fact, the mainstream LDS Church denounced that practice long ago. When I've visited the Salt Lake Temple grounds I have been approached a couple of times with offers of more information about Mormonism. But when I declined, the young women handing out pamphlets respectfully allowed me to go about my business. In fact, if I went to the very center of any religion and didn't get solicited, I'd be halfway disappointed. ... I can honestly say that I have never lived in a more pleasant and simultaneously more misunderstood city than this one." Read more.
"Media Attention Misses the Heart of Mormonism" — Mormon Perspectives
This blogger says some media coverage is "missing a very vital something" about the Mormon experience. Journalists, the blogger writes, "want to understand a religion from facts when religion exists in faith, feelings, and Spirit. It's as much something you feel as something you think about. Mormonism has changed and is changing my life. It brings me community, scripture, service, healing, and closeness to God." Read more.
"Are Mormons spared from reality? Hardly" — Deseret News
Daniel Peterson, a professor of Islamic studies and Arabic at BYU, refutes the claim some make that "Mormons live in a bubble."
"Latter-day Saints are no more strangers to 'the heartache and the thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to' than are non-Mormons," Peterson says. "We get sick. We die. We lose loved ones. We're not magically immune to the effects of substance abuse, immorality, emotional challenges, job loss and dissolving families. We can't live in a bubble. It's impossible. ... The church constantly sends us out — out of ourselves and, often, far out of our comfort zones — as home teachers and visiting teachers, as young missionaries and senior missionaries, as bishops, as employment-service volunteers and addiction counselors."

Jeep and Wake Nation Houston Join Forces In Sponsorship Deal
Houston, TX — One of the nation's most renowned automotive brands has joined forces with Houston's newest watersports' attraction in a partnership celebrating outdoor adventure.
The Jeep brand has signed on as a sponsor of the new Wake Nation Houston cable wakeboarding park near Pearland, south of the Sam Houston Parkway on the 288 Freeway.
As part of the new partnership, Jeep receives naming rights on a massive 66-foot flat bar rail in the 12-acre Wake Nation lake. Plus, Jeep will have several banners in the park, and will display its legendary vehicles on site during special events. The sponsorship also enables the partners to create exciting promotions together in the future.
"This is an exciting situation for us," says Tony Carroll, Chrysler & Jeep Marketing Manager for the Southwest Business Center. "It brings together two parties that celebrate active outdoor fun and the spirit of adventure." It also makes Jeep the only automotive brand sponsor at a cable wakeboard park in the USA.
"Partnering with such an iconic brand like Jeep is a perfect fit," says Peter Kennedy, Wake Nation Houston co-owner.

I was mooching around Tescos this evening and I noticed that Birds custard powder is, in fact, sugar free. It's only the added sugar when it's made up that makes it unsuitable but if it were made using Xylitol ( also called Xylobrit, Sorbitol and so on ) then it would be suitable for diabetics.
I am aware of the laxative effect of Xylitol and so on but in moderation it's fine and it reopens several doors, like my wifes home made ice cream for example
Just thought I'd mention it.

For many years, I have tucked away a little money each month to use toward something special for myself. Guilty pleasures, a new dress, splurge at the grocery store, zero degree sleeping bag… the list is all over the place and ranges from single dollar treats to more expensive spends.
In addition to my monthly "something special" cash, this year I decided to streamline larger purchases {for myself and my companies} by doing quarterly, seasonal upgrades.
My spring upgrades coincided with the road trip I am currently on. A few items for comfort, one for storage and, last but not least, tea.
Pelican Case {Alaina Ann Photography purchase}
After my 65 day road trip last fall, I promised myself a better solution for my camera gear on upcoming trips. My backpack was too overloaded, impractical and offered little protection in weather. Plus, I tend to only pull out one camera body and one lens for most days and stick them in my hiking backpack.
In came this Pelican Case. Waterproof. Ample storage for all the gear needed on a long trip. Easy to switch out gear and perfect for storing unused items for the day. It is HEAVY, but my muscles are ready :)
UGG Ansley Slippers
My purple UGGs make cameos in many of my photographs. They are over two years old, wearing down, but still have a little life left to live. I decided to make them my travel slippers for the next year and keep the new teal UGGs at home for daily indoor use.
La Sportiva Hiking Boots
My original La Sportiva hiking boots were ready to retire at the end of 2015. Nearly 10 years and many, many miles later, I was ready to part ways. This is my absolute favorite brand for hiking boots. Each time a new pair arrives, I'm able to toss on hiking socks, slip them on and hit the trail with little break-in time required.
Republic of Tea Travel Tins
How fun are these six pack travel tea tins from Republic of Tea?! Easily one of my new favorite tea items. Their website allows you to create your own three pack. Perfect for sampling new tea or buying favorites to take on the road. I used this handy tool for both and ordered 15 tins.
Do you set aside spending money for yourself? If so, how often do you dip into the funds for a much deserved treat/upgrade?
As always, this is not an advertisement or paid endorsement for any of the products, companies or brands noted. Each was paid for with hard earned money and are items I truly love and use :)

It's the meeting of the memes: Carly Rae Jepsen's earworm "Call Me Maybe" as performed by another Internet sensation, Ted Williams — the 54-year-old YouTube superstar who rocketed to fame in early 2011 as the man with the "golden voice." "Call Me Maybe" has everyone singing along already — we figured, why not try it with a soulful baritone instead?
Williams, who sat down with TIME to discuss his new memoir, told painful tales of rock bottom and redemption, and also demonstrated his now-legendary vocal chords — the ones that helped pull him off the street and land him voiceover contracts with Kraft and the New England Cable News network.
We'll have the full interview with Ted Williams later this week; in the meantime, enjoy.
Q&A: Carly Rae Jepsen on Gay Rights, 'Call Me Maybe' and Singing with 'Dreamy' John Mayer

Of course I was attracted by the cable work. And I cannot tell you exactly why, but it did not appeal to me whatsoever... Until I saw this version...
EDIT: if you are interested in knitting this version, here are the main changes:
- It is knitted in Cascade Eco Alpaga in Ecru (5 skeins)
- Knitted one size bigger than your usual size
- The armholes were changed as well: knitted straight, and the stitches are picked up and sleeves knitted in the round (so much easier!).
And this is why, although in theory I am not supposed to buy more yarn if I have not finished a project, there is yarn on its way... And I cannot wait to cast on. I just hope my version will be as wearable. I stopped at making a cream version as well, but the colour will not be that far from that... Such a copycat. As long as I get a jumper that I will wear! who cares!

Patients who struggle with periodontal disease are out there seeking desperately for a treatment that could help them heal faster and better.
You can see plenty of ads online from different dental clinics saying their dental laser treatment for gum disease is the best…but ADA states people should be a just a little bit careful when it comes to such advertisements.
Not only the American Dental Association, but also many dentists are quite reluctant in recommending laser dental treatment as a universal treatment option for all patients struggling with gum disease. Firstly, you need to get a professional assessment from your own dentist, and he will be able to tell you if laser treatment is indeed an effective option in your case.
Otherwise, never just pick a dental clinic based on an advert and get a treatment only because it "sounds" trendy and promising. It might just not be the right solution in your case.
What the American Academy of Periodontology advises
According to the AAP (American Academy of Periodontology), dental laser treatment can be quite effective mostly in cases of mild periodontal disease. Root planning and dental scaling can be performed very safely and efficiently with the laser.
The laser removes nicely all the buildup that can be found below the gumline and the root surface will be smoothed so that future plaque build up is prevented. However, laser plaque removal in case of patients with periodontal disease must be performed by a very well trained dentist/periodontist who takes care not to induce any damages within the gum tissue which is extremely vulnerable.
LANAP – Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure
LANAP is a surgical procedure mostly utilized in order to treat periodontitis. Instead of resection like in the case of traditional surgery, this method uses mostly the regeneration method. The trained dentist or periodontist will use the laser to remove the entire infected/diseased pocket from within the connective tissue. Some of the main benefits of using LANAP treatment for gum disease include:
- There is no cutting or suturing involved. The laser gently removes any damaged tissue, leaving behind healthy tissue
- There is no discomfort involved. When compared to standard periodontal disease surgery, LANAP is definitely less discomforting and painful
- The procedure can be completed within 1 or 2 visits to the dentist (approximately 1.5 hour sessions). When traditional surgery is performed, the patient needs to visit the dentist at least 4 times (1 hour/procedure), and follow up visits are needed for additional checkups and sutures removal
- Traditional surgery involves losing more healthy gum tissue. Since more gum tissue is lost, teeth will become even more sensitive and exposed to further risks since more of the dental root becomes exposed
- Recovery time is about 24 to 48 hours maximum. With traditional gum disease surgery the patient requires up to 4 weeks of recovery (until the tissues heal nicely)
With laser treatment, less bleeding, pain and discomfort is involved and healing is much quicker. Even so, it cannot be stressed enough how important it is to find a highly skilled periodontist to perform the laser dental treatment.

Adults play their share of video games, but a new study finds that about 97 percent of kids ages 12 to 17 play video games–and often.
Half of the teens surveyed said they played video games "yesterday," according to the report from the Pew Internet & American Life Project, which interviewed kids in the fall of 2008.
Of those polled, about 86 percent used consoles such as the Xbox, PlayStation, and Wii, and 73 percent also played PC games. About 60 percent used portable devices like the Nintendo DS, while 48 percent played games on their cell phones.
What are they playing? Racing, puzzle, and sports-related games were the most popular, while virtual worlds like Second life produced the least interest.
There was not a huge difference in terms of genre preference between boys and girls, though boys were more likely to enjoy "mature" games that featured violence, gore, and rough language, Pew said.

One thing I realized my site does not have is my meatloaf recipe. It is the don of meatloaves. There's lots of goodies in it. Bits of bacon mixed in, there's chunks of feta, olives, onions and garlic.
- 4 cup Whole Milk
- 1 loaf Italian bread sliced
- 8 pounds Ground Beef or Bison
- 1 cup (heaping) Fresh Parmesan Cheese
- 1 cup (heaping) Feta cheese (I use garlic and herb)
- 1 cup (heaping) Onions small dice (pinky nail sized peices)
- 1 cup (heaping) Olives minced
- 1 teaspoon Smoked Salt
- 3 teaspoons Pink Himalayan salt (fine not course)
- Freshly Ground White Pepper
- 1 1/3 cup fine minced Italian Flat-leaf Parsley
- 16 whole Eggs Beaten
- 40 slices Bacon raw chopped into pinky nail sized peices
- 8 cloves garlic whole
Soak the sliced italian bread in the milk for several minutes in a large mixing bowl. While it is soaking turn the oven onto 200 degrees F. Place the ground meat, garlic bacon, eggs, salts, pepper, parsley, cheeses, olives, and onions into the soaked bread. Mix by hand until it all comes together and is well mixed. Turn out onto pan and shape into 4 loaves. (I have a cooling rack that is nothing more then a chunk of 1/4 inch thick steel with 1/3 inch holds drilled in it. I place it over a turkey roasting pan 1/2 full of water. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DOING THIS.) Place into oven and let cook 8-12 hours. After the 8-12 hours has passed apply your favorite sauce ontop of meatloaves and turn to 350 degrees F and allow to bake for another 15 to 30 minutes.
When it is done it will be sticky on the outside, and so moist and tender inside that you can microwave it the next day and not have it dry out on you which most meat loaves others have made for me tend to do. The onions will be clear, the garlic soft and delicious, the bacon flimsy yet delicious. The best thing of all, it's a great meal that one can cook all day. No longer do you have to rush to get a meatloaf done, you can set it, and forget it.
Typically I use a apple bbq sauce with burbon in it.

Vote for Adorno Vote for Adorno
Here's a sample of our volunteer opportunities:VIEW AS
Mission Statement
Our mission is simple. We are a group of people helping our friend, Etienne David Adorno win the Assembly seat for the 38th district. We believe it is time for fresh new leadership, with a new perspective on how to handle the issues that affect us all, on the state level.
We are a NYS Board of Elections registered political committee. Our committee name is "Friends of Etienne David Adorno". Our website is VoteforAdorno.com and our twitter is voteforadorno. You can call us directly at 347-ETIENNE. We have been working diligently to try and change the dynamic of how our community is represented and handled on the state level.
For too long our state government has been operating at a deficit within a state of dysfunction, making it appear incompetent and resulting in negative National Media attention.
For too long they have been able to ride the wave at our cost - the tax payers! As a result, people have lost faith in our democratic system and in our State Government. If given the choice, tax payers would likely choose to stop having their hard earned dollars continue to support the failing government system of OUR state. I believe it's time we send a message to Albany that WE want change! Times have changed; NO MORE BUSINESS AS USUAL. We need more transparency, more oversight and more accountability in those decisions that affect our everyday lives. We can no longer afford to be complacent with the status quo!
My name is Etienne David Adorno and I want to be your messenger! I want to go to Albany, advocate for our community and work to resolve the many issues that affect all of us, not only in our local community, but the entire state and the nation at large.
So I urge you to support me on this special journey to run for elected office, on the State level, and thereby joining me to send a very strong message to our legislators that WE deserve more!
It's a New Day, A New Era, and Time for New Representation!
Together we can unite in the great fight for justice in a system that has been greatly unjust!

Moravian Roots Tour
John Hus Memorial Tour
June 29-July 11, 2017
Sponsored by the Center for Moravian Studies of Moravian Theological Seminary
The Center for Moravian Studies of Moravian Theological Seminary is sponsoring its second tour to the Czech Republic and Germany to visit the sites of our earliest Moravian history. We will spend seven days in Prague and four days in Herrnhut with excursions to numerous locations of historic and religious interest. For any Moravian (or those interested in Moravian history!) this trip will be a pilgrimage.
In Prague we will tour the Prague Castle and St. Vitus Cathedral, the famous Golden Lane, the Tyn Church, and the Old Town. We will have presentations in both the Bethlehem Chapel where Hus preached on religious reform, and the Church of St. Martin on the Wall where the chalice was first given to the laity.
There will be a day trip to the town of Tabor where Hus's followers established a communal village and became fierce warriors for religious reform. We'll travel to Kunvald where the Unitas Fratrum was born.
On the way to Germany we'll see one of the oldest Moravian churches and hike through the Chalice Rocks where the Hussites hid from religious persecution. In Herrnhut we'll see what the followers of Hus created under the influence of Count Zinzendorf. A day trip in Germany will include stops in the historically significant Moravian towns of Niesky and Kleinwelka with a visit to the walled city of Bautzen.
This trip is both historical and experiential as we will participate in group worship experiences commemorating many of the sites of religious importance. It is trip that involves walking, often totaling 3-7 miles/day on cobblestone and uneven terrain. In addition to all of this history and culture, there will be ample opportunity to enjoy the food and culture of Prague, one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
Moravian Seminary Leaders:
Prof. Riddick Weber, Associate Professor of Pastoral Ministry, Moravian historian
Jane Weber, Director of Administration, trip organizer
Czech guides:
Prof. Petr Balcar, Charles University and Lehigh University faculty, trip coordinator
Irena Balcarova, English Teacher, certified Prague guide

Happy Saturday!
I'm linking up with the fabulous Jasmine McClain over at Buzzin' with Mrs. McClain for her You Oughta Know Blog Hop!
Today I want to share something that is fun, inexpensive, and a little addicting: Kohl's Cares!
Kohl's has a great program where they sell classic picture books and coordinating stuffed animals for only $5 each. The best part is that all proceeds go to support kids' health and education initiatives nationwide! According to www.kohlscorporation.com, more than $257 million has been raised since the year 2000 nationwide.
Over my teaching career, I have accumulated quite a collection of these combos for my classroom. They have had Dr. Seuss collections, Eric Carle collections, Clifford collections, Disney Collections and so many more!
I used the books in my classroom as specialty books for mystery readers or story time. The stuffed animals were used as an incentive for my "student of the day" or my "top of the chart" winners. They could keep the special stuffed animal at their desk all day.
I really wanted to take some pictures of these duos for this post; however, all of my books and stuffed animals are in storage since I am taking this year off to be with my baby. But…I did find this picture of my collection displayed in my classroom. They make a great display! This is when I was getting my classroom ready last summer. I set these up above our cupboards and cubby area.
Head on over to Kohl's and grab the current Disney collection they have now!

I was chatting to my buddy Trevor the other day about how business metaphors are all about majestic animals – soar with the eagles, eye of the tiger, bull market, bear market, squirrel this, rhinoceros that – you know the story. I seem to remember that Ben Franklin wanted the USA national bird to be the turkey because he regarded them as fine, upstanding, and moral creatures (I'm putting words in to Ben's mouth now); where as the bald eagle is – well, something of a bottom feeder on all counts. I wonder how far the wars of the last 100 years would've progressed if the national icon had been a turkey. Seems more in keeping with the Statue of Liberty as an icon of peace, prosperity, and independence. Back to Trevor – we agreed that there wasn't much in the way of commentary or metaphors based on the real workers – the nobility of plankton, the helpfulness of yeasts etc. Who moved my cheese? doesn't mention the work of the lacto-bacteria, no, not once. Bacteriaphiles should avoid the book from that perspective, however worthy it is from other perspectives.
Charles Schulz, via 'Peanuts' said, 'Anthropomorphism is man's worst sin.' So, emboldened by Trevor (he doesn't know this yet, but I'm sure he'll be excited … fingers crossed) I urge all you alpha animals to (a) turn vegetarian (ok, optional extra), (b) stop with this racing with the rats, dancing with the wolves, swimming with the sharks (and/or dolphins), charging with the rhinos, soaring with the eagles, biting dogs with the dogs, clawing with the bears, goring with the bulls, or any one of the other crazy zoological 'totems'; and instead search for zen and the daphnia. If you need to sound exotic, simply fix your business opponent with a beady eye, breathe deeply and then say, 'I am trained in the Way of Odonata. Bring it on!'
This didn't stop me trying to desperately help the Gold Compass with their viral marketing thing. I mean, virii are sort of almost bacteria. Well, they're small anyway. I'm a sucker for a nice drawing and what the? Apparently out of the thousands of daemon animals mine is an ocelot. It must be true – how could they know – it must be fate – I always wanted a pet ocelot – or, more accurately, a margay. In between your swimming with the oh, good grief (see list above) you get to interact with my daemon and say how much the daemon is like me. Have a squiz, it makes more sense when you click on the link. But Pelagia? Thinks: sounds like a kind of shoe, or better, a brand of caviar. Best french accent: 'Forgive me, my darling, can a press you with a little more … Pelagia?' In fact, it's a great brand name. Take it for a quick spin –
She looked so hot in her Pelagia as I rode up on my Pelagia. Her back to me, I could see the heels of her freshly shoplifted Pelagias were hardly scuffed. She turned, waved, finished the call and snapped her Pelagia closed, and dropped it in her shoulder Pelagia. "Probably shoplifted", and she smiled as if to agree.
I'm happy to support Gold Compass (they depend on just me to do all their promotion for them) simply because the movie with that nice Aussie lass, Nicole. My heart goes out to her ever since I saw her in Moulin Rouge and I could see this hideous scar/deformity underneath her nose. No, not on her lip. Under her nose. Go look at the movie again. The other reason for my support is the movie looks visually grand, I would so love to be able to just up and fly (see also: Superman), and the thought of being in a world with talking polar bears? Bring it on!
And now, welcome traveler to this site – as a special get-acquainted offer, you can buy my new book, The Way of the Polar Bear, for just $US19.95. Assure yourself of a unique edge over your less zoo-enabled colleagues. At the very least, please, stop teaching those unfortunate elephants to dance. Ok? They hate it. They'd much prefer to be wild and free. You know, like those totem animals we keep reading about.
Nietzsche's offered that man is a bridge between beast and the superman. The bridge, in this case, to my animal, was Dan Dixon at digitaldust. Thanks, Dan, sorry that I thought your animal was a raccoon. Honestly, when I arrived it was a tiger, and then it became a snow leopard… no, it was!

No matter how you look at it, 2014 was a record-breaking year for luxury goods. High-end real estate prices continued to soar, while collectibles like art, watches and cars remained a safe haven where the super rich put their money.
Throughout the year, records were set, and sometimes broken, and it seemed like no category—from cupcakes to motorcycles—was immune to higher prices and luxury treatment.
Amid all this, the debate raged on about whether this boom will persist or pop like a bubble.
Click ahead to see some of the items that won the title of the "most expensive" ever sold.

Posted 16 Dec. 2014
(Pictured here: This 25-acre, 35,000-square-foot Beverly Hills, California, estate won the title of "most expensive real estate listing of 2014" when it entered the market this November at $195 million.)

Daniel Ericourt Artist Residency: Daria Rabotkina, piano
October 30, 2018 @ 7:30 pm
Daria Rabotkina is lauded as "…a pianist full of fire and warmth" (The Plain-Dealer). Whether in front of an orchestra, in the recital hall or in a chamber music setting, Dr. Rabotkina impresses audiences and critics alike with her "clearly prodigious musical gifts" (The Washington Post). Audiences find her to be "the real thing" and "spellbinding in everything she played." (The Boston Musical Intelligencer).
Dr. Rabotkina's concerto highlights include San Francisco and New World Symphonies, Kirov (Mariinsky) Orchestra, Moscow State Symphony, Winnipeg Symphony, Hudson Philharmonic, Charleston Symphony, Harrisburg Symphony, Orquesta Sinfonica de Concepción and Turku Philharmonic Orchestra (Bernstein's Age of Anxiety). Her orchestral collaborations include conductors Michael Tilson Thomas, Valery Gergiev, Vladimir Feltsman, Julian Kuerti, JoAnn Falletta, Benjamin Shwartz, and Giancarlo Guerrero. Dr. Rabotkina has given recitals at the Kennedy Center (Washington Performing Arts Society), Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall and Merkin Concert Hall in New York, Ravinia's Rising Stars, Dame Myra Hess and PianoForte Salon Series in the Chicago area, the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory and in Denmark, Switzerland and Japan.
Winner of the 2007 Concert Artists Guild International Competition, Dr. Rabotkina has received top prizes at many international competitions and participated in Russia's White Nights Festival, Finland's Kuhmo Festival, Copenhagen's Summer Festival and Germany's MusikFest in Kreuth. In the United States, Dr. Rabotkina has appeared at the Rockport Chamber Music Festival, International Keyboard Institute and Festival, Music Academy of the West, and PianoSummer at New Paltz.
Live recording of three concerti is Dr. Rabotkina's third project as part of the Victor Elmaleh Collection scheduled for release in the summer of 2015. Her second solo CD on CAG Records (2012), featuring Beethoven's Diabelli Variations, has been very well received: "Her subtle phrasing and lyrical playing are the highlight of the disc" (Fanfare). This follows her debut recital disc, spotlighting the Tchaikovsky Grand Sonata and Prokofiev's Ten Pieces from Romeo and Juliet, which also garnered universal critical praise: "Her fearless virtuosity makes the most of the exciting passages." (American Record Guide).
Dr. Rabotkina was born in Kazan, Russia, in to a family of musicians and gave her first solo recital at the age of ten. Her earliest musical steps were guided by her parents, Guzel Abdoullina and Sergei Rabotkin, both outstanding pianists, and Nora Kazachkova at the Special Music School in Kazan. She received her education at the Kazan State Conservatory and Mannes College of Music in New York City under the tutelage of Vladimir Feltsman. Dr. Rabotkina also holds a Doctorate degree and the Artist Certificate from the Eastman School of Music where she studied with Natalya Antonova. Dr. Rabotkina will be joining the faculty of Texas State University in San Marcos, TX in the fall of 2016.

It would be awesome if the mac mini could fit inside the G4 case, but not essential. I know the easy solution would be to fork out for a brand new alluminium iMac- but you all know the G4 iMac looks the best!

About Biffa
Founded over 100 years ago, Biffa has always been at the fore front of development and innovation within the waste management Industry. Named after the founder, Richard Biffa, the business was formed as a haulage company in London and now they are the UK's leading integrated waste management and recycling business. Biffa are a progressive business and innovation is core to their strategy. This means continually developing and improving their extensive UK wide infrastructure.
Before Recruitive
Biffa previously used Logic Melon's technology for about 12 months before implementing Recruitive's software after found the functionality and cost of their system was not working for them. They really needed something that offered more functionalities and a system that would also link their jobs from the website to their ATS system, coupled with improving the candidate experience.
Biffa and Recruitive
Biffa. Explains why they chose to work with Recruitive: "Biffa is a hugely successful company, employing over 7500 people and we therefore have to recruit around 40 members of staff per month. Using Logic Melon was just not ticking all our boxes."
"We received a sales call from one of Recruitive's Software Consultants and we were very interested in what they had to offer. They arranged an online demonstration of their software, which immediately illustrated the benefits it would bring to our recruitment process, along with a really great price. They decided to sign up with them in April 2016 and have not looked back."
Biffa continued: "The implementation of our white labelled solution was smooth with no hiccups. We were provided with a fantastic on line training session conducted by Training Manager, Gemma Rushton. She took the time to explain how to use the many functionalities of the solution to get the best from it, in order to fulfil our recruiting objectives. We were particularly impressed with the Micro Careers site that was included in our bespoke package, which enables us to advertise vacancies on our own website and allows candidates to quickly and easily apply."
The cloud based solution allows Biffa's recruitment team to manage the complete recruitment process in-house, including posting vacancies to their own website at the same time as posting to multiple job boards. Being able to do this has saved them a significant amount of time and money due to the process being automated.
Biffa concludes:"Recruitive's software is a fantastic system that has completely streamlined our recruitment process and most importantly the candidate experience. The bespoke solution ticks all our boxes with its functionalities and is followed up by great Customer Service. Stephanie our Account Manager is always on hand to answer any questions and if any additional training sessions are required, they are arranged immediately. I would have no hesitation in recommending Recruitive and its software to any business."
