We also are currently planning a Lions Counseling Center to costs that an increase in our contract would require. What I did say was if DHS provide counseling and resources to those in the community as well as our own would make a commitment to increasing the number of children we can serve, boys.

She will use antibiotic and steroid drops as her eye heals and she only has to wear a shield over her eye at night for protection. Susan plans to return to her job in Hospice as soon as she can. Her husband, a Theology teacher at Bishop McGinnis has been taking good care of her. "He's a good nurse," laughs Susan, "I've trained him well." Now that Dr. Muenzler has replaced her diseased corneas, Susan again enjoys reading, gardening and caring for their four rescue dogs. She is extremely grateful to both of her donor families and the gift they so freely gave, and to the Oklahoma Lions Eye Bank for helping to restore her sight and the sight of so many Oklahomans.

This causes the cornea OKLAHOMA CITY, OK 73105 to swell and distorts the vision. The swelling can produce blisters on the sur- face of the cornea, and when they burst it is extremely painful. Dr. Muenzler told Susan that she would need a cornea transplant, and they would place her on the waiting list immediately. Susan found out that her insurance would not cover the cornea so the Oklahoma Lions Eye Bank very generously donated the cornea for her surgery. The transplant was done at St. Anthony Hospital as an outpatient procedure in Recognizing Lions Eye Bank Week early 2000. Susan remembers being awake for the procedure and being very comfortable with no pain! She recalls, " Dr. Muenzler was very soothing and Lions Eye Bank Week is celebrated the first week of December (6th-12th). calming throughout the transplant.

As the pain went away, Susan's quality of life began to return. Lions appreciate the excellent services that her and her staff do. As a medical social worker, Susan states that she has witnessed the decision (email@example.com) that families have to make at the time of donation, and it is a very painful deci- sion. "My first stop when I arrived at the hospital for my transplant was the chapel, to pray for the family of my donor. All I know is that he was a 49- year-old man from Oklahoma." She has written to his family but has not heard back. She understands that this is a very personal decision. Susan explains, "You learn to receive and accept a gift that is freely given." In 2010, Susan had cataract surgery on her other eye. Her vision got better but began to get 'foggy' a short time later. She returned to Dr. Muenzler who con- firmed that the Fuchs' Dystrophy was affecting this eye as well. While waiting on her second transplant, Susan had to wear a patch over that eye. She says, "I could still drive but seeing with the patch, people really got out of my way." My surgery was scheduled September 15th.

This picture is from the first time Tim and I met face to face, 5 years after meeting online. Five years of writing back and forth, phone calls, loves and heartbreaks. And now here we are - older (ugh), wiser (maybe?) and living in the same state (Tim and his now fiancee LeAnne are from Michigan but moved to Wisconsin when LeAnne accepted a job in Madison). I gotta say, although we don't call as much (hell Tim, we pretty much suck with the phone calls lately) I still think of Tim as such a good friend and someone who knew me way back when.
Anyway, a huge HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Tim. I hope this year brings you lots of good things (and hang out time with us AND more telephone calls). Love ya Tim!
Now... I figured you all would want to know about what's up with Maurices. So here ya go (I know, I'm a little long winded sometimes, what can I say, I'm a writer).
Well, it was completely different from Target. With Target I was really nervous, slightly uncomfortable and the interview(s) themselves were very short (the second one lasted all of 5 minutes). I think I felt uncomfortable because I generally thrive more in a smaller store or workplace - I like to know everyone I work with, to form a bond with them. I feel like it's hard to do that in a big store like Target. Also, I've heard things about the way Target is run and I worried that it wouldn't be a perfect fit. However, I need a job and right now I will take whatever I can get.
My Maurices interview lasted AN HOUR. And not because it was all interview but because the two managers I interviewed with were AWESOME. I interviewed with the store manager and an associate manager. And it was one of those interviews where I just felt like I instantly clicked with both managers. In fact, the store manager, Shannon, and I both got our dogs at the same place. So we chatted about that. And all three of us are total bookworms, so there were big conversations about that. Needless to say, I felt darn good after that interview.
However, when I applied I simply sent in my resume and they need an application on file. They forgot to give me one during the interview so I had to go back yesterday to fill one out and do another little thing. I actually think that's GOOD because I got to give them a second impression. And it was both Shannon (the store manager) and Amy (the other manager that interviewed me) so I did not mind at all coming back.
Both times I made sure to wear Maurices clothes, accessorize, look put together, etc. And both times there was no nervousness, it was just really easy. And I want the job SO bad! Maurices seems like such a great company to work for!
So now I wait. Ugh! Waiting again! Continue to keep fingers, toes, etc. crossed for me! This is a job I want BAD!
P.S. Today is the LAST DAY to enter the MD Sparks Giveaway. If you haven't yet, you better hurry up! The winner will be announced TOMORROW!

walterman, I like C# too and I want to start my way in it from now on. Anyone has books to recommend? From beginners books (to fill in the gaps of the fundamental stuff in my head) to advanced ones.
I also want to have a background about Visual Basic, SQL and to be specific oracle. Is this a perfect combination of knowledge in programming?
C#, VB, even Java will have less of a learning curve than C++. As far as what's a "perfect combination", it depends on what you want to do, I guess. I'd be happy going the rest of my life without touching VB again, but to each his own. I don't think I'd be happy with most of your typical web/database programming jobs out there, so there's things I tend to de-emphasize the importance of.
HOWEVER, I agree with vin about just starting with C++ (though if you already know a little of something else, I could certainly understand that biasing your decision). The main difference in learning curve is memory management, and learning pointers. Understanding how pointers/referencing works is going to make your life easier in darn near any language, including the ones referenced above (though you can get away without it in most garbage collected languages, it still helps). The main difference is, going from C++ to Java or a .NET language is pretty simple- going the other way, not so much, because you'll be clueless when it comes to memory management and pointers if you go that route.
I learned C++ out of "C++ How to program" by Deitel and Deitel... adequate... nothing spectacular... /shrug. Of course the C++ Bible is "The C++ Programming Language" by Stroustrup, but it's more of a reference volume than a textbook. Though if you have a little bit of programming experience under your belt, that may suffice.
I learned Java out of "Java in a nutshell". Still more of a reference book.... though again, once you have an object oriented language under your belt, it's not that hard to move between 'em with a little bit of sample code to get you started.
I do think you should pick a language and master it. Once you've done that's relatively easy to pick up another language from a few code samples and online references, esp one with a similar paradigm (ie, once you pick up the basic concepts and syntax of any OOP language, it's pretty friggin simple to start coding in a different one pretty quickly).

Saint Leo, Fla. (September 29, 2006) – Senior forward Casie Poyssick (Land O'Lakes, Fla.) scored the game-wining goal with 16-seconds remaining in the first overtime period to give the Saint Leo women's soccer team (8-2-1, 3-2 SSC) a 1-0 victory over conference rival Nova Southeastern (8-1, 2-1 SSC) on Friday night.
Poyssick was on the end of a Sara Macko (Fr., Brandon, Fla.) free kick, which she flicked with a back heel beyond the reach of NSU goalkeeper Nikki Paquette for her 50th career goal. The striker is the leading goal scorer in program history.
The game was evenly played throughout with neither side having a convincing opportunity on goal. After 90 minutes, the teams remained scoreless forcing the overtime period.
The Lions outshot the Sharks 15-7, but NSU held a 5-4 edge in shots on target. SLU goalkeeper Lauren Hudson (So., Odessa, Fla.) made five saves to record her seventh shutout of the season and ninth of her career.
Saint Leo returns to play next Saturday when the Lions will travel to Boca Raton, Fla. for another Sunshine State Conference match at Lynn University. The game will kick off at 3:00 p.m.
