Detox and rehab go hand in hand. Detox takes care of the medical side of treatment, rehab heals the mind and soul. Detox may be painful. However, there are medications available to help you remain comfortable while the drugs and alcohol are leaving your system.
Some detox medications are Suboxone, Buprenorphine, Naltrexone and Valium. In addition to assisting in the removal of excess dopamine, these medications will also curb cravings that arise while your body is trying to rid itself from harmful chemicals.
It's important to remember that detox is not rehab, it is only the first step to treatment. Detox alone will not recover your healthy lifestyle. Rehabilitation is needed to ensure long-lasting recovery.
Contact us today at (866) 578-7471 and we'll help you find the detoxification center that will work best for you.
Rehab is where your work begins. In rehab, you will be introduced to group and individual therapy. Group therapy will help you attain the social skills needed to live a sober lifestyle. Individualized therapy will help you figure out why you started drinking or using. The therapies will also help you create new, healthy behaviors.
When creating new and healthy habits, your determination is what will get you through the tough times. Many scenarios could occur that may make you feel like abandoning rehab altogether and go back to your old ways. Tap into that willpower and rehab will get easier as you obtain tools to help you make healthy decisions.

Of the reputable treatment centers in Utah, there are options that align best with your beliefs or personality style. Treatment centers vary from faith-based programs to holistic programs to even luxury programs where they include gourmet meals and massages in their treatments.
Contact us at (866) 578-7471 and we'll determine what treatment centers your insurance covers and help you decide which ones of those will best suit your needs.
Treatment will start with detoxification for the body and then move to rehab for the body and soul. You may think to yourself that recovery is an impossible goal. However, treatment teaches you the tools necessary for long-term recovery. There is a perfect treatment facility for you, one that meets your individual needs. All you have to do is reach out.
Because traveling for treatment is a personal decision. There are pros and cons for both choices, and there are some things to keep in mind when making the decision.
Will it be hard for friends and family to support you through visits? Do you think it will help you recover, to remove yourself completely from your old surroundings? Are the risks of staying, greater than the benefit of travelling for treatment?
Often, travelling for treatment is the best option even though it means being apart from loved ones. However, treatment does not last forever. Your family and friends can support you from afar. Removing yourself from your old environment will help you recover. Traveling away from home will improve your chances for success. Put faith in traveling for treatment and choose what's best for you.
Known as the Beehive State, Utah is well known for the diligence and perseverance of its people. But addiction is no respecter of people or circumstance.
Many addicted people don't realize that they've developed an addiction that is destroying their lives, even when the evidence is all around them. An intervention, planned with love and support, is often the splash of cold water that snaps them back to reality.
If you know of a friend or family member suffering from addiction, your love and patience will serve them well when overcoming their dependency. They might need your help to get started, however, so call (866) 578-7471 today to talk to a professional interventionist. Your loved one needs you, so don't wait. Call today before it's too late.
Once you have been through treatment, you may feel like you're done and you'll live happily ever after. Recovery, however, is something that will continue every day, because each day you will be faced with new challenges.
Before you leave the treatment center, meet with your therapist to discuss aftercare options. There are a lot to choose from, your aftercare will be as unique as you are. Some of the most popular aftercare options are sober living houses and fellowships. You could even do both. In fact, it's recommended that you participate in a fellowship anyway, as it provides you with a supportive and understanding community and friendships.
Contact us today for more information on aftercare plans, outpatient programs, sober livings, half way houses, and more. (866) 578-7471
Addiction is a cunning, baffling and powerful disease that has no known cure. It can, however, can be arrested by going through detoxification and treatment.
Addiction can strike anyone regardless of race, creed or religion. It hits no specific age group, it can materialize in anyone. Addiction isn't a choice, people don't plan on getting addicted to drugs and alcohol.
It can start out as an experiment and eventually lead into a full fledge addiction. When an individual abuses drugs and alcohol for a long period of time his or her body will then start to build a tolerance and develop a craving for the substances. This causes the substance to take ahold of the mind, body and soul. The only option then is treatment.
Treatment can cost anywhere from a few thousand dollars to over a hundred thousand dollars. That doesn't narrow it down much, does it?
When reviewing your options, your first should be to find out what your insurance covers and work from there. If you don't have health insurance, there are programs with sliding scale fees. Utah even has grants for those unable to afford rehab at all. There are also treatment facilities that are funded by the state. You will have to go through the process of getting on insurance. But it will be worth it because it will save your life.
Trying to sort through all of this information can be overwhelming sometimes. Call us today to explore your options and find affordable treatment that's right for you.
Addiction can throw your life into an uncontrollable downward spiral. Without help, it can be almost impossible to turn your life around. We are here to help you stop the spiral and get the quality of life you deserve. Call us today to start on the path to recovery!
Addiction seeks to destroy both your mind and your body. Although it may begin with a means to cope, or a way to pass the time, eventually addiction will force you to succumb to itself, taking over your entire life. However, there is a way to get your life back on track, and that is through treatment.
People tend to believe that treatment is just detoxing and then going to meetings, but it's much more than that. Treatment is all about healing both your mind and body, and attacking the reasons for addiction, as well as to why you would turn to a substance in the first place. It's all about learning how to live life without the use of drugs or alcohol, because, although not apparent at first, you won't know how to do a few basic things without the use of a substance to guide you through everyday life. Essentially, if you want your life to get back on track, a getting treatment for your addiction is the best way to make recovery last a lifetime.
First thing to do is to commit to a life without the harmful substances. After dedicating yourself to a life of sobriety, the first thing to do is to rid the body of the drugs or alcohol that are in your system. Detoxing, as it's called, puts your body through a long and harsh phase that helps it get back to a state of natural homeostasis. Because of the strain your body can go through, it's important to find a detox center with medical professionals that will assist in the withdrawal symptoms. The purpose of this is to leave the body's nervous system with minimal discomfort.
After purging the harmful toxins from within your body, it's important to realize that although the physical issues with addiction might have gone, or at the very least are healing, the mental damages of addiction are still present. Specifically, the reason you began using in the first place along with the mental need to continue to use will still be lingering. Treatment must follow detox in order to properly battle against the mental issues associated with addiction.
As soon as you enter into an inpatient treatment facility, you are greeted by staff members who are there to help you succeed in the battle against addiction. Finding the right treatment facility after detoxing is important, as this place is going to help you get back on your feet in a life of sobriety. It's here that you will be able to focus solely on the recovery process without the distractions of everyday life. As well, you will also be given instruction and assistance in your life outside of a treatment center.
It should be noted that there are a plethora of different treatment options to fit any one person, and that is because no two people are alike. There are a wide variety of therapies available to suit your needs to help create the most effective recovery process there is. It should be noted that Psychotherapy has been clinically proven to assist individuals in understanding the nature of addiction as well as developing new skills and patterns that support a life without a substance.
Finding the reason, and in turn, the nature of your substance abuse and addiction is important to the continued existence to the life of sobriety. Oftentimes, there are painful memories or experiences that contribute to addiction. It's important to be able to find a treatment center that fits your needs and doesn't contribute to a relapse of substance abuse. It's here that you will find the tools to continue life outside in normality.
There is also the possibility of going through an outpatient clinic if an inpatient center is not available for you. An outpatient clinic, unlike an inpatient treatment center, is essentially the opposite; it allows you to attend recovery without having to put life on hold and still engage with other daily activities, like work or school.
Sober living is also an option, either instead of or after the inpatient or outpatient facilities. It is a living arrangement, typically for people who have recently come out of a rehabilitation center and helps with the transition back to the world. Sober living is sometimes an option that people tend to pass this option by, as it's not really a required element of the treatment and recovery process like detox and rehabilitation, but rather a helpful step. Nevertheless, it is recommended as it helps provide a smooth transition back into normalcy.
It's important to note that treatment isn't over after rehab; finding a meeting and a place to discuss your story of addiction and listening to others tell theirs is an ongoing process. Finding the right community is an integral part of life after rehab. As well, finding the right sponsor, someone who will help you continue your life of sobriety, is essential to your continued treatment. You should never have to go through addiction alone, because there is always help.
Finding the right treatment is important in a continued life of sobriety. There is a center for everyone seeking help, and from that center, your continued recovery and eventual life of sobriety will come naturally. All you have to do is reach out and start looking. Call 866-578-7471 to start your journey in recovery.

Nurse uses lifesaving app to find, try to help man in cardiac arrest
West Linn's Heather Roms was alerted by her smartphone
A labor and delivery nurse whos accustomed to using the most modern technology to save newborns in jeopardy relied on just her own skills to try and save a mans life last week.
Heather Roms, 39, of West Linn, was just leaving her daughters dentist appointment about 9 a.m. March 27 on Southwest Town Center Loop in Wilsonville when she received an alert on her smartphone that someone nearby was having a cardiac emergency.
It was the first time she had seen the alert on her phone, and she guessed she must be pretty close to where it was taking place.
At first, the PulsePoint application showed only the address of the location where the emergency was happening. Those who subscribe to the app receive notification of the emergency at the same time as first responders.
In this instance, first responders were paramedics from Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue and AMR ambulance.
At first, Roms wondered whether she should respond, not knowing how instantaneously she received the alert.
Honestly, I didnt know where it was, she said. But the next thing it showed me was an aerial view of the exact location and I immediately recognized by the roofline that it was Sharis Restaurant.
With her three children in the car, Roms drove around Town Center Loop West and entered the Sharis parking lot. She said she saw a few people huddled around a car and she ascertained that this must be the cardiac victim.
The man was slumped in the passenger seat and Roms discovered he had no vital signs.
I took a quick assessment, checked his pulse and breathing, did a sternal rub, she said. He was a very large man, and I was not able to lift him out of the car. I yelled for help to get him out.
As soon as Roms and others who came to help were able to get the man out of the vehicle and onto the ground in the parking lot, Roms quickly began administering hands-only CPR.
My best estimation is that I was doing CPR for about two and a half minutes, because I was just shy of three cycles (of CPR) by myself until they arrived, she said. They were able to take over chest compressions.
However, once the ambulance arrived, paramedics asked the mans wife pointedly whether he had a living will or end-of-life request, Roms said. The mans wife indicated that he did not want to be hooked up to machines.
That tempered our heroic efforts, Roms said. I imagine that he had already been without a pulse for quite some time, even before I arrived.
Nevertheless, Roms had assisted paramedics and fire crews with trying to save the mans life until it was determined he had a do not resuscitate (DNR) order. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Using her CPR skills on the man in Wilsonville was quite different than the efforts Roms typically uses at Legacy Emanuel Medical Center, where she is a registered nurse in the labor and delivery department.
To maternal patients, I use CPR very infrequently, she said. To newborns, I use it slightly more. But you just use your thumbs and we have a variety of tools we use. This was a really different experience.
However, Roms said she felt very calm in the situation, and that she knew exactly what to do.
At the beginning, when I uploaded the app, I knew that I had the skills and the comfort level to respond to a situation, she said. So, the actual performing of the CPR felt very comfortable. At the end of the day, it wasnt the happy outcome you hoped to achieve, and certainly I send my deep condolences to his wife and family. But it shows that this app works in what it was supposed to do, with the right person with the right skills in the right place.
Hopefully, she added, next time the outcome will be better.
My kids check on the app a lot, but I thought it was probably a long shot, for all of the stars to come together, that I would be using this. I thought that the most likely scenario would be that I would have to respond in my neighborhood.
And speaking of her children, the three of them remained respectfully in the car while their mother swiftly moved into action.
Later, she said, they asked appropriate questions and she answered them candidly.
I think they took it all in stride, and asked questions until they were satisfied with the answers, Roms said. They were sad that I didnt let them out of the car until the scene was more secure. But they knew that the man passed away.
The idea of someone dying was not foreign to her children. Both Roms and her husband are nurses and they have talked to their children at an appropriate level about their careers. Their oldest daughter has been instructed about what she should do if she happens to find someone in a cardiac emergency.
They are very comfortable with all things medical, Roms said.
TVF&R Spokesman Tim Nokes said this is the first time a citizen has used the PulsePoint alert since it was launched in January. To date, there are nearly 4,000 subscribers.
Roms said she heard about the app from her mother, who works at Wood Middle School in Wilsonville.
The PulsePoint app enables subscribers who have indicated they are CPR-trained to be alerted to a cardiac arrest event at the same TVF&Rs firefighters are alerted. The app uses sophisticated location-based services to alert citizens of the need for CPR in a public place, and directs them to the exact location of the nearest public access automated external defibrillator.
Visit TVF&Rs website, tvfr.com, for more information on the life-saving benefits of the PulsePoint app. The app can be downloaded for free from either iTunes or Google Play.

Compared in terms of state territory, economic power, or nuclear might, no two places differ more than China and Vatican City, the world's largest and smallest countries. But measured as two empires with indelible historical presence, communal identity, and cultural wealth, China and the Holy See share a lot—including a sense of time in which decades are a standard planning unit rather than weeks or months. That is why Chinese President Xi Jinping and Pope Francis' apparent resolution of a 70-year-old power struggle over who has the right to select Catholic bishops is so noteworthy.
As part of its effort to create an independent church free from outside interference in the 1950s, the Chinese regime exerted its right to appoint Catholic bishops, a sacrilege in the eyes of the Holy See, which considers ordination a papal prerogative. According to Catholic ecclesiology, bishops secure global unity and inherit a mission traced back to the 12 apostles; it is the pope who secures this divine apostolic succession. Believers who refused to renounce Rome or recognize a state-ordained leadership created a clandestine church. Into 2012, Beijing still unilaterally named a bishop and sequestered those who defied government oversight. But since the accession of Pope Francis, Beijing and Rome have worked out an ad hoc process of mutual approvals. Since it is informal, confusion remains, disunity festers, vacancies increase, and, in theory, either side could break the fragile equilibrium. Thus: semisecret negotiations over the last three years.
Last month, Hong Kong Archbishop Cardinal John Tong Hon, 77, announced that Beijing and Rome have "already reached consensus" on episcopal appointments. According to Tong, Chinese bishops and state authorities will recommend episcopal candidates and the pope will have a "right of veto." The agreement is described as a game changer because it confirms the pope as final authority regarding bishops, but it is also a future-oriented solution not intended to resolve other persistent disagreements. It won't automatically normalize the status of remaining underground bishops, for example, and

Leather shoelaces are typically found on boat shoes, boots and moccasins. While leather shoelaces are exceptionally durable, they can be bothersome as they frequently become untied when tied in a traditional shoe lace bow. If you don't want to have to constantly retie your leather shoelaces or double-knot them, try tying them in a barrel knot. A barrel knot is also known as a spiral knot, boat-shoe knot, heaving-line knot or Eastland knot.
Lace up your shoes with your leather shoelaces. Ensure that the shoes are laced evenly and there is an equal amount of leftover shoelace on both the right and left side of the shoe.
Start with the right shoelace. Fold the shoelace over itself to make a small loop about two inches in diameter. The base of the loop should be as close as possible to the top eyelet on the right side of the shoe. Do not thread the loop with the remaining end of the shoe lace.
Hold the part of the loop that is farthest away from the top eyelet with your thumb and pointer finger. Using your other hand, twist the loop.
Hold the twisted loop with your thumb and pointer finger. Use your other hand to tightly wrap the end of the shoelace six times around the twisted loop to create a spiral.
Push the end of the shoelace through the end of the twisted loop.
Pull on the end of the shoelace while simultaneously pushing the spiral you created towards the top eyelet of your shoe. This will help tighten the spiraled knot.
Cut the end of the shoelace if it is too long and drags on the ground.
Repeat Steps 2-8 for the left shoelace.

As is the case with others before me, I find nursing to be an art as well as a science. I have worked in a variety of roles as a RN and APRN, and each role builds on the next. I enjoy sharing my expertise in nursing and find it rewarding to learn along with my students. I continue in clinical practice as an APRN in Urgent Care, Internal Medicine and Long-term care at a large practice in Boston, MA. The diversity of the urban population I serve provides me insight into the most current health care issues that I am then able to share with my students. .
I consider myself an expert in the clinical care of adult patients with complex medical issues. I integrate my clinical experience into my daily teaching activities. This not only includes the medical aspects of care, but the professional, leadership and collaboration that is required of a health care provider.
My research interest include strategies to provide quality care of a patient with Alzheimer's Dementia in the long-term care facility. A second area of interest involves the outcomes of interactive assignments in an on-line program.

Do you hesitate to smile? Are embarrassed by a chipped or discolored tooth? Do you ever wonder what can you do to improve your smile's aesthetic appeal? If so, dental veneers may be the solution you need.
As you may know, dental veneers are thin shells that can be fused to your smile. Fortunately, dental veneers can be used to correct a number of imperfections. For instance, if you're dealing with complications such as discolored, cracked, worn, chipped or uneven teeth, veneers may help you achieve the attractive, radiant smile you've always envisioned.
However, there are individuals who are often confused by the difference between veneers and implants. While both are designed to match the appearance of your teeth, implants are vastly different than veneers. While veneers are used to fuse to your teeth, implants are designed to completely replace a missing tooth. Sadly, while implants are especially useful because of their longevity, they can't be used to improve the appearance of existing teeth. In other words, in order to enjoy the cosmetic benefits of implants, you'll need to be missing a tooth. If you have one or more severely damaged teeth, removing and replacing them may be the best options—though most dentists recommend preserving natural teeth whenever possible. This makes veneers are valuable choice.
To learn more about the benefits of dental veneers, please don't hesitate to contact Hawkins Family Dentistry at 740-423-8416. We'll gladly answer any questions you have. Also, if you're concerned with the health of your teeth, we'll be happy to help you set up an appointment with Dr. Lori Hawkins. Our entire team looks forward to hearing from you soon!

One thing I forgot to share in this vid is what Holy Spirit spoke to me before I began worshiping. I was supposedly interceding for someone who needed provision but what I was doing was accusing and blaming Dad. I was asking, "Why aren't You providing and delivering them? How come You let this happen when You're the God of Provision?" Holy Spirit told me very graciously to stop right there. He asked me if I'd ever known Dad not to release provision when it was requested and I had to say no. God always, always gives what we ask for it, but there are other things that stop, block or hinder our provision somewhere between heaven and our hands. If you need more information on this read Open Heaven, My Money Grows on Trees and Revelation is for Elevation.

All hospitals should develop a food and drink strategy that takes into account sustainable procurement, according to experts.
An independent report into hospital food standards said there is "no single route to a more sustainable NHS food service" but all hospitals should adopt the Government Buying Standard for Food and Catering Services and the British Dietetic Association's Nutrition and Hydration Digest.
The report, by the Hospital Food Standards Panel, an independent group established by the Department of Health (DH), said buyers have the potential to "shape the way our food is grown, supplied and prepared" and purchases should be made "with regard to their impact on the environment and wider society".
"Because of the wide range of different good and catering systems, there is no single route to a more sustainable NHS food service and a hospital-wide food and drink strategy will play a key role in helping organisations to find the solution that works for them," it said.
The report said the DH and Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) should continue working together to develop and trial a procurement toolkit and a monitoring system should be considered. The potential to further reduce food waste should also be explored.
Maya de Souza, head of sustainable public procurement at Defra, said: "Hospitals are major procurers in their local areas and have the potential to shape the way our food is grown, supplied and prepared. This can be done in a way that ensures good stewardship of our agricultural land and natural resources, respect for animal welfare, avoidance of waste and obtaining wider economic and social value such as jobs and training. All this is important to the health and wellbeing of patients and staff."

Regardless of what office handles admissions, the process has shifted in recent years. Various models, and structures, exist in the way schools advice new-to-college students. Regardless of who is doing the talking at intake, certain questions and methods should be utilized to ensure that students feel they made the right choice, not to mention their parent(s).
While FTEs (bodies in seats) are still viewed as an indicator in some places, more and more emphasis is being placed on how well those bodies do in college, i.e. succeed. Admissions and Advising are normally the first line of communication with prospective students, so it's important for these areas to know where the best chances of success lie, and that appears to be with appreciative admissions.
This webinar, by expert speaker Kent Seaver, an expert in the field of student assessment, will discuss the real meaning of Appreciative Admission. By applying Dr. Jennifer Bloom's concepts of Appreciative Admission to accepted models of Academic Advising, you will gain an understanding of what needs to be addressed at the intake process. You'll also learn how repeated exposure to advising resources can enable the student to be successful in every aspect of their higher educational career.
Additionally, the session will examine the Process Structure Model of Intake Advising, as well as the use of data as it relates to iPass.

~ This is what our award looks like. Yours looks the same.
Okay, to date, we have only made two non-quote posts. Once to plug a guest post that Lucy did on LTE and once when we both tried to help spread the word to save a show we grew very fond of called Journeyman. Now, these posts...they pretty much never got hit on and almost nobody saw them. So, here's the thing. We have been involved in an ingenious plot from Amyoops.com. Our buddy, Crotchety, has received an Amy oops! award from a blogging buddy and the rules involve a pay it forward process. Our understanding is that he, in order to legitimately claim this award must award five other people and somewhere down the line Haley Joel Osment dies in a horrible knifing incident. No, we're kidding. He'll be fine.
Anyway, this is pretty smart because people like awards and they will likely participate to be able to fully appreciate said award in legitimate fashion. We are proud to state that we've received this award from Crotchety and will be legitimately winners after this post is published. So. in order to not make this our third unread, never hit upon non-quote page, we will instead quote the blogs we award, in full compliance with both stated award rules and additionally remain in compliance with Say what's ''keep it quote-full'' rules. Ha! We rule! Damn, we're smart. So the following are 3 humorous quotes from each of our 5 chosen blogs:
Okay, keeping in line with the rules, the credit must go to Amyoops.com for the award and picture. We got that down. She's mentioned. Secondly, we must mention the man that made this directly possible for us-Crotchety. He is at http://crotchety-old-man-yells-at-cars.blogspot.com/. What can you expect at Crotchety's site? It declares: ''Crotchety Old Man Yells At Cars: Baseball, television, political rants, cars, money, and general nonsensensical ponderings of my universe.''
JD will take this one, handing out our first award.
And Say what's winner of the Amy oops! humor blog award for the category of ''Best rivalry with a famous weight loss pundit'' goes to... Crotchety from http://crotchety-old-man-yells-at-cars.blogspot.com/.
JD's 3 quotes from Crotchety:
I am fascinated by Crotchety's everlasting obsession with Richard Simmons. I love it. Relax, it's a rivalry. He's not a fan. Here are some selected quotes from him on the subject:
1. Crotchety contemplate's catharsis:
''I began to make a list of some things I could do to release this anger:
1. Tear the tags off mattresses -- too cliché
2. Write a letter to my Congressperson --too Republican
3. Join a think tank group-- too Democratic
4. Make fun of Richard Simmons --too easy''
2. Crotchety presenting a Richard Simmons Birthday bash with some of his most awe-strikingly horrifying videos:
''Grab a piece of sweat resistant birthday cake, and watch a few minutes of some of the funniest video around.''
3. Lastly, Crotchety has a temporary change of heart?:
''I thought about that day for weeks. Maybe Richard Simmons wasn't such a tool. Perhaps he wasn't a slimy, money grubbing shill.''
Okay, Lucy will handle our second award now.
And the winner of Say what's Amy oops! humor blog award for the category of ''Best WTF humor'' goes to... the Lazy Third Eye team at http://lazythirdeye.blogspot.com/
Lucy's 3 quotes from Lazy Third Eye:
1. In Jake The Flake's Top Ten Fun Facts...Keeping in mind they are geared towards the lesser-known. Number four:
''Milton Berle, of all the famous men in show business, is reputed to have had an infamously gigantic penis to put all the rest to shame. Apparently, everyone who knew him was aware of this endowment, especially since he wasn't known to be shy about pulling it out as a conversation piece.''
2. From Stream of Consciousness Eddie:
''My doctor said it seems I don't really have ADD after all. It turns out it's much more likely that I'm too rude to pay attention if I'm bored. Go figure.''
3. And from a post called ''Excerpts from the mystery novel, I Spy A Spy's Spy With A Spy's Eye'' that made JD laugh harder than I did for a change:
''Why, those weren't random queefs at all', thought Agent 00.2, in quite a queef-stricken state. Dear, God, they were purposeful, willful, intelligent in pattern, controlled and cunning! Why hadn't he realized that it was Russian but in Morse code?''
Okay, JD will take this next one.
And Say what's winner of the Amy oops! humor blog award for the category of ''Most Humorous Serious Blog'' goes to... Jack Payne at http://legalthriller.blogspot.com/ where he does his best to accurately inform you about the current day's scams and how you can avoid them. Although the site is meant to be serious and a helpful resource, Jack still has an often funny way of getting his points across.
Among Jack's words of wisdom doled out during his helpful posts are:
1. ''Remember, you are not drunk if you pass out on the floor without hanging on.''
2. ''At times it seems reality is a crutch for people who can't handle drugs.''
3. ''(Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.)''
JD & Lucy will take this one together.
And Say what's winner of the Amy oops! humor blog award for the category of ''Best Purely Satirical News Stories'' goes to...Chris from The Lost News at http://www.thelostnews.com/.
JD & Lucy's 3 quotes:
1. In what is really a tribute to Tim Russert after his passing, the lost news credits his hard edged journalism with a satire piece of God being grilled by Russert on the suspicious nature of one of his creations:
'' "Would it come as a shock to you that we have reports from the Creation that say that the platypus was not an intentional creation, but a mish-mash of left over parts?"
"Wow, it is hot under these lights. Isn't it?" asked God clearly starting to sweat.''
2. Just in the headlines are captured all the satirically funny qualities and give us such great quotes as ''Opponent Of Gay Marriage Admits He Really Doesn't Have Anything Better To Do'', ''Local Anchorwoman Nails Segue From AIDS To Brangelina'', and ''New Restaurant 'BLTs R US' Hit Hard By Tomato Recall''.
3. And in another funny title, ''To Ease Energy Concerns, President Bush Calls For Offshore Oil Drilling And The Degreasing of Sha Na Na'', we have:
"With ordinary Americans hurting and my oil buddies already having houses at the beach and Aspen, it is time to bring these oil prices down," said Bush. "And we can do that by finding new sources for oil, such as off our coasts and off Bowzer's head."
Unfortunately, if you laughed at that last one, you have now dated yourself as old. Join the club.
JD will take this last one because I haven't napped yet.
And Say what's winner of the Amy oops! humor blog award for the category of ''Best Anecdotes'' goes to...(Cue the ominous music) Judge Jerry Buchmeyer at...The...OTHER...Say what?!. Yes, we found out there's another one out there. This one is real life courtroom and other legal humor as compiled by the real life Texas Judge. I love this site. Here are JD's 3 quotes from that other Say what?!:
1. ''Q. Has anyone led you to believe the governor will pardon you if you plead guilty?
A. Well, I haven't been home judge, but he might have called my mother.''
2. Asked of a witness in an automobile accident case:
''Q. How far were you from it when you hit it? ''
3. Lastly, the ultimate slacker witness:
''Q. What do you do for a living?
A. I help my brother.
Q. What does your brother do?
A. Nothing.''
We would like to congratulate our winners and thank our benefactors and the Academy. There will however be no gift baskets. Times are tight, fellow bloggers. Times are tight.

Industry experts say minorities should pursue oil, energy jobs
Blacks, Latinos missing out on lucrative jobs in the oil industry
By Stacy M. Brown | NNPA Newswire Contributor | 5/4/2017, midnight
There are great opportunities for African Americans and Latinos in the oil, natural gas, and petrochemical industries, according to industry insiders, who are calling on minorities to "get in the game."
"IHS Markit projects that there will be nearly 1.9 million job opportunities over the next 20 years in our industry, and [minorities] are expected to fill more than 575,000 of those positions," said Deryck Spooner, the senior director of external mobilization at the American Petroleum Institute (API). "These employment projections are based on current and expected trends in factors such as labor force participation rates, population growth rates, and educational attainment rates."
IHS Markit is known as the leading source of information and insight into critical areas that shape today's business landscape.
Spooner noted that opportunities would be available in a wide variety of occupations across the country.
Of the 1.9 million new job opportunities, 57 percent are projected to be in blue-collar occupations and 32 percent are projected to be in management and professional fields, according to IHS Markit.
Martha Montoya, the chair of the National Association of Hispanic Publications, said that it's important for Black and Latino families to have conversations about opportunities in the oil industry that are available for people who aspire to join the middle class.
A recent report by IHS Markit noted that Hispanic- and African-American workers are projected to account for close to 25 percent of new hires in management, business and financial jobs through 2035.
Also, of the women projected to be hired in the oil industry, more than half are expected to fill management and professional occupations.
The salaries in the oil and gas industry make the jobs very attractive.
Currently, the average salary for a financial analyst in the industry is $55,620, while a petroleum engineer makes $82,000 annually. Oil and gas pipeline construction workers average about $76,000 per year and those who drill oil and gas wells typically rake in at least $98,000 per year, according to several databases.
"Experienced engineers are being offered sky-high salaries and are taking regular calls from headhunters as the booming shale gas industry fights for scarce talent, snapping up engineers from other sectors," reported Alanna Petroff of CNN Money. "There aren't enough experienced engineers to go around, and global demand for engineers is growing, especially as the U.S. shale gas industry balloons."
In order to take advantage of the oil and gas boom, Spooner said that minorities must get in the game.
"Our polling of African Americans and Latinos showed that the vast majority of individuals had never applied for a job in the industry, with 60 percent of those being driven by a basic lack of familiarity with the industry's opportunities," Spooner said.
As noted in the 2017 State of American Energy report, the API continues to work with Hispanics in Energy and the American Association of Blacks in Energy to spread the word about that 707,000 positions are projected to be held by African-American and Hispanic workers, said API spokesman Reid T. Porter.

"Zooming In" is a weekly series in which Photo editor Shelby Lum provides her insight on pop culture.
Watching Crayola commercials makes me a little jealous. The possibilities of 3-D chalk and markers that only write on paper put my longing for a 64-pack of crayons to shame. Really, almost all the toys children play with now put mine to shame. The land of make-believe and imagination in a backyard has been ousted for the world of video games and high tech gadgets made just for children.
The artifacts of my childhood are obsolete and it's becoming increasingly obvious it's not just my toys of yesteryear that no longer matter, but one of my other favorite childhood pastimes as well — real paper books.
Tangible books might become a thing of the past quicker than I would like to think possible, because the "Netflix of books" is starting to gain a bit more attention. Oyster, the book equivalent to Netlix, allows members to access more than 100,000 books for a $9.95 monthly membership fee. Guess what, you can even get a free trial for the first month (which is oddly similar to Netflix).
By 2011, a fifth of DVD sales was gone, thanks to the lovely gents at movie streaming sites, and even now, Netflix management is considering dropping out the option to have DVDs delivered at all. So thanks, Netflix. DVDs are a near relic of the past, and if they are any indicator, books are on their way out as well.
Oyster gives readers unlimited access to its online catalog, so books can be read over a period of time. Unlimited sounds like a pretty good deal.
I never gave e-books much thought, and waved away the possibility that a so called "e-book revolution" would do much (I'm a book purist). Not enough people want to make an investment in a Nook, Kindle or other tablet exclusively made for e-books that paper books could be shoved out quite yet.
But the influence of the Internet might pose a different story. A lot of people have at least some steady access to the Internet, and Oyster makes it feasible to read on anything, not just a tablet. Bookworms can rejoice and read on phones, computers or anything.
Or bookworms might not.
While DVDs are being ousted from necessity, I have yet to meet anyone with a sentimental attachment to a shiny disc. But I have met people who have an attachment to a book.
So I will reluctantly admit that once Oyster expands its collection, it could ruin the future of books. It's not quite where Netflix is, but it could get there pretty soon. In January, Oyster raised $17 million to expand and latch onto as many platforms as it can.
Admittedly, I am a late adopter to most everything. I didn't get a smartphone until last year and I don't use Siri. I was hesitant about Netflix because I liked to meander my way through the Blockbuster aisles — something I will never get to do again. I still don't appreciate e-books.
So naturally, I'm an Oyster skeptic. I would love to think it would be impossible for the company to crumple bookstores into oblivion.
But the rumblings of change are in the air for the good ol' paperback book.

There may be a good film buried inside "Kingsman: The Secret Service," a well-cast and sporadically entertaining but overly long, exceedingly violent and ultimately perplexing spin on the comic-book action movie.
Based very loosely on a graphic novel, Mark Millar and David Gibbons' "The Secret Service," it supposes that there's a super-secret British spy agency where not only are the agents well-trained and well-equipped but exceedingly well-dressed. Working out of what appears to be an exclusive men's shop on London's stylish Savile Row, the Kingsman organization turns grooming into warfare; many of the sartorial choices are actually weapons in disguise. True, James Bond has done this before, but these guys make Bond look like Paul Blart: Mall Cop.
Colin Firth is lead agent Harry Hart (aka Galahad), a man who feels guilty because one of his crew was killed in the Middle East a decade ago. While visiting the man's widow and young son, he gives the boy a number to call if he ever gets into real trouble.
Flash forward to present day, where Mom is involved with a low-life and the kid's a working-class street tough who goes by the name of Eggsy (an impressive Taron Egerton) and seems to be on the fast track to nowhere. If he doesn't change his ways, he's going to be in prison for a long stay or worse.
In fact, it's from jail – after a run-in with the cops – where Eggsy remembers Harry's words from years before. The next thing he knows, he's Eliza Doolittle to Harry's Henry Higgins (there's actually a funny "My Fair Lady" joke in the film) and is in training for a slot as a Kingsman.
As it turns out, not only does he have to worry about his Kingsman competition – most of the others vying for the opening are posh-accented, upper-class brats who look down on him – but saving the world, too. Harry and Eggsy have to take down the evil Internet billionaire named Valentine (Samuel L. Jackson) who has a Pinky-and-the-Brain-style plan to dominate the planet through SIM cards.
The plots of these types of films matter little; their appeal rests in the execution, and this is where Matthew Vaughn ("X-Men: First Class," "Kick-Ass"), working from a script he co-wrote with Jane Goldman, stumbles. What is supposed to be both over-the-top and funny – such as in the movie's most obnoxiously violent scene when Harry turns into a killing machine inside a fundamentalist church – ends up just wearying.
Violent action scenes can work when there's a sense of the skillful choreography ("The Raid") or a sense of humor ("Pulp Fiction"). "Kingsman" has neither one of these elements going for it.
There's a strong cast of supporting players, such as Michael Caine and Mark Strong, but they're mostly wasted.
A movie like this needs a good, colorful villain, but Valentine doesn't cut it. Jackson is one of those actors who can turn trash into treasure, but not this time. Part of the problem is that, inexplicably, he speaks with a lisp. If it's supposed to be funny, it's not.
Let's not even mention the groan-worthy final shot.
Ultimately, there's little to care about in "Kingsman," a spy film that's all dressed up with no place to go.

Dangerous Rides: What Parents Need to Know About Car Seat Safety
In a recent article highlighting the top recalls of 2014, three out of the 24 items listed were car seats whose buckles and latches were prone to malfunction, resulting in difficulties when removing a child quickly in emergency situations. This list highlights the dangers of these child restraint devices which most parents install in their family cars, believing that they are protecting their children from risk.
At a time when an average of 92 people die each day in motor vehicle crashes and hundreds of thousands of people are killed each year, many of them children, it is more important than ever that parents install appropriate car seats to protect young children in the event of a crash. Yet, the National SAFE KIDS Campaign cites that over 50 percent of children ages 14 and under who are killed in car accidents were not properly restrained at the time of impact. Even for families that follow government guidelines and purchase car seats however, there is no guarantee of safety. In fact, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has listed nearly one million car seat recalls between 2007 and 2013.
Importance of Properly Installing Car Seats
Despite these recalls, which highlight the dangers associated with improperly manufactured car seats, their use undoubtedly saves lives. According to the latest NHTSA statistics, in 2012, it is estimated that 284 children under the age of 5 were saved as a result of child restraint use, a category which includes both car seats and seat belts. Moreover, from 1975 to 2012, it is estimated that more than 10,000 children were saved by the use of child restraints.
It is important that parents carefully follow the directions that are included in car seats' manuals for installation. Below are some common mistakes that parents commonly make when installing and using car seats:
- Moving a child out of a booster seat too soon: Florida law requires that children under the age of five to be properly restrained no matter where they are seated in a vehicle. Moreover, children through the age of three must be secured in a child safety seat and infants must ride rear-facing until they are at least one year old and weigh twenty pounds or more.
- Improperly installing a car seat: NHTSA reported in 2011 that more than 95 percent of car seats are improperly installed or used. Some common mistakes that parents make are not buckling the car seat tightly enough and not selecting the right direction for placing the car seat. Experts recommend that infants should be kept in a rear-facing car seat for as long as possible. For additional guidance, parents can look to car seat labels to determine how much a child can weigh and still use a vehicle's car seat attachments.
- Using or borrowing an older car seat: Consumer Reports has noted that more than three out of four car seats that are recalled are never returned or repaired. Thus, parents should not borrow a car seat without also knowing its full crash history. Car seats that are purchased from a second-hand store or passed along by a friend may have missing parts or have been recalled which poses dangers.
At The Pittman Firm, we know that protecting your children is of paramount importance. If your child has been injured in an auto accident due to a recalled car seat, call our firm today for an evaluation of your case.

Now that the 2014 is wrapping up, let's take a look at potential IDP Free Agents that could be available off the waiver wire in your dynasty fantasy league right now. Guys who are primed for possible returns next year that you can hide on your roster now, before the season ends. E.J. Gaines, Devon Kennard, and Craig Robertson have some major upside!
E.J. Gaines
This former Missouri Tiger has lit it up as a rookie cornerback in the Rams defense. The 6th rounder already has 61 tackles and 14 passes defensed with 2 weeks left in his season. Look for him to continue to develop into a real threat to get 100 (tackles + passes defensed) annually.
Devon Kennard
This former USC stud has been a nice addition to the New York Giants starting LB core. The 5th round selection has 23 total tackles and 4 sacks in his last month of action. If Jon Beason returns next year, Kennard may have to wait his turn, but at 23 years old the guy has plenty of time to become an every down linebacker.
Craig Robertson
This former North Texas grad is currently a starting middle linebacker for the Cleveland Browns. The 26 year old has average 9.4 total tackles per game since week 10. That rate, over the course of an entire season would net him 150 tackles. We expect the 4th year man to continue to get better, and to own an ILB spot in the NFL for the next few year.

Mt St Vincent Nursing Home endeavour to care, support and protect with dignity and faith those who live and work within. Our vision is to provide physical, emotional and spiritual care for all residents in a dignified manner.
The St Vincent de Paul Society acquired the former Ulverstone Convalescent and Nursing Home on January 1, 1969 and renamed it Mt St Vincent Nursing Home. The Home was extended in 2001 with the puchase of the Adaihi Nursing Home.
Our objectives are:
- To provide health care services for the resident of the home within manageable limits.
- To provide the highest ethical and moral principles, in the continuing pursuit of excellence.
- To ensure all residents have privacy and dignity at all times.
- To maintain a safe and happy environment for all residents.
- To respect the rights of all residents and to allow them to have freedom of choice whenever possible.
Where is Mt St Vincent Nursing Home located?
We are based on the north-west coast of Tasmania at Ulverstone. Large nearby centres include Devonport and Burnie.
Who benefits from this service?
At Mt St Vincent Nursing Home residents benefit from our organisation's philosophy that each person has an inestimable worth in their own right, and this value is not assessed by their usefulness or by the contribution they can make to their family and/or society. Every resident, regardless of the extent of their disability, is treated with respect and dignity.
