Times may have changed, but courtesy never goes out of style. In today's world sometimes it's complicated to figure out how to do the right thing. Local etiquette expert Karen Hickman answers your questions or helps solve your dilemmas on Fridays in The News-Sentinel and at www.news-sentinel.com.
Q. Karen, our company has a companywide Christmas party every year that is planned by the administrative assistants, but hosted by the bosses. We have several office sites, so many people don't know all of the employees other than those at their particular office. This seems to be a good time to get to know those from other offices. So, it is always a surprise when many people don't show for this event, including some of the bosses. How do you feel about this?
A. Corporate holiday parties can be stressful and unappealing for some people in an organization. However, you may be committing a huge faux pas and sabotaging your chances for advancement by not attending. Attending shows you are a team player. It is the opportunity to get to know those you don't know well or have time to chat with during your regular business hours. And it is a chance to meet some of the spouses and significant others in your co-workers' lives.
It is a bad idea for an employee not to participate, but an even larger mistake for a boss not to show up, without a very good reason. Not attending sends the message that bosses don't really care about their employees and that they set themselves above those who work for them — a huge insult in my book. And if that is the message that the employees take away from their absence it can damage the employees' perception of how much they feel they are valued and how hard they want to work for the company. Corporate cultures and attitudes start at the top.
So, here are some tips to get you through the party and make it more enjoyable for everyone.
•Be sure to respond to the invitation and let the planners know whether you are bringing your spouse or a guest, if they are included in the invitation.
•Dress for the event. This may be the time to jazz it up a bit with your attire, but be careful not to get too sexy.
•If you bring your spouse or a guest, be sure to introduce him or her to your coworkers.
■Mingle. This is a perfect time to meet others in the company you don't usually have the opportunity to see.
■If you are one of the bosses, circulate and don't just hang with the other bosses.
■Pace yourself when it comes to alcohol consumption. You don't want to be the topic of conversation on Monday morning.
•If you are ordering off a menu, go middle of the road with price. Ordering the most expensive thing on the menu can look as if you are taking advantage.
•Thank your hosts upon leaving and send a handwritten thank-you note the next day.
So when that invitation arrives for the company party, say yes to going. Happy holidays!

CLARION - The Ridgway Elkers defeated the Sewickley Academy Panthers by a 48-40 score to advance to the second round of the PIAA Class A boys' tournament.
The Elkers will meet the Kennedy Catholic squad next Tuesday at a site and time to be announced. Kennedy Catholic defeated Cornell by a 64-53 score.
The Elkers were able to use a pressing defense in the first half of last night's contest to build a 10-4 lead after the first eight minutes and take a 21-12 halftime lead.
In the second half, Sewickley outscored the Elkers by a 28-27 margin to cut Ridgway's final margin of victory to 48-40.
"Right away we thought we could apply pressure on their guards," said Elker coach Anthony Allegretto.
"They made adjustments at halftime and were able to attack us better," said the coach. The Elkers forced 15 Panther turnovers in the first half. In the second half each team had seven turnovers.
"Alex Oknefski stepped up tonight and Jesse Reynolds played a great game," said Allegretto.
While Ridgway led by nine at the half, the Panthers came out and scored the first six points of the second half to cut Ridgway's lead to two, 21-19.
"We responded (with their run) by letting Eric (Matheson) got one-on-one. He has been our leader for four years now," said the coach.
"We played such a good gap defense in the first half and then they spread out out a little in the second half," noted Allegretto.
"I thought we were a little nervous before the game even though it's our third straight one here. But it is the state playoffs," added Allegretto.
The Elkers were led by Eric Matheson with 23 points on six field goals and an 11 for 12 night from the foul line. Jesse Reynolds added 17 points on six field goals and a five for five night from the foul line.
Sewickley was led by Carrington Motley with 17 points on three twos, one three and an eight for 10 night from the foul line. Keenan Hickton added 11 points on two twos, one three and a five for six night from the foul line.

The Hague, Netherlands
The States General of the Netherlands (Dutch: Staten-Generaal der Nederlanden) is the bicameral legislature of the Netherlands, consisting of the Senate (Eerste Kamer) and the House of Representatives (Tweede Kamer). The parliament meets at the Binnenhof in The Hague.
The archaic Dutch word staten originally related to the feudal classes ("Estates"; Dutch: standen) in which medieval European societies were stratified (the clergy, the nobility and the commons), but the word came to mean the political body in which the respective estates were represented. Each province in the Habsburg Netherlands had its own staten. These representative bodies (and not their constituent estates[1]) in turn were represented in the assembly that came to be known as Staten-generaal (a plurale tantum), or Algemene Staten (General States).[2]:5–15 The English word "States" may have a similar meaning as the Dutch word staten, as in e.g. States of Jersey. The English phrases "States General" is probably a literal translation of the Dutch word.[3]
Historically, the same term was used for the name of other national legislatures as, for example, the Catalan and Valencian Generalitat and the Estates-General of France during the Ancien Regime.
Dutch explorers named several places "Staten Island", a name that derives from the name of the Dutch parliament.
The States General meets in joint session at least once a year, at the opening of the parliamentary year, when the king gives his Speech from the Throne on Prince's Day. On special occasions, such as when a States Generate vote on a marriage of a member of the royal house, an inauguration of the monarch, or the death of a member of the royal house, both houses also meet in a joint session (Dutch: Verenigde Vergadering), with the President of the Senate presiding. They take place in the Ridderzaal (Hall of Knights) in the Binnenhof, except for the inauguration of the monarch, which occurs in the Nieuwe Kerk in Amsterdam. The rest of the time, the two chambers sit separately.
Constitutionally, all functions of the parliament are given to both houses, except for the rights of initiative and amendment, which only the Tweede Kamer has. The Joint Session also appoints the monarch if there is no heir to the throne and the regent is unable to exercise his or her powers.[4]
An important question is whether the relationship between cabinet and parliament should be dualistic or monistic. That is, whether ministers and leaders of governing parliamentary parties should prepare important political decisions. According to the dualistic position, members of parliament of governing parties should remain independent of the cabinet. The term 'monism' is used to refer to a stance that important decisions should be prepared by the people of the governing coalition in order to promote political stability.
Burgundian and Habsburg Netherlands[edit]
Historically, the convocation of the States General consisted of delegates from the States of the several provinces, like the States of Brabant, and dated from about the middle of the 15th century, under the rule of the Dukes of Burgundy. The first important session was on January 9, 1464, in Bruges in Flanders on the initiative of the States of Holland, of Flanders, and of Brabant, and somewhat against the wishes of Philip III, Duke of Burgundy.[2]:31 Later, regular sessions were held at Coudenberg, Brussels (Brabant). The next important event was the convocation of the States General by the ducal Council for 3 February 1477 after the death of Charles the Bold. In this session the States General forced the grant of the Great Privilege by Mary of Burgundy in which the right of the States General to convene on their own initiative was recognised.[2]:42ff. The main function of the States General in these early years was to form a platform for the central government to discuss matters of general importance with the States of the provinces, especially the special subsidies known as beden or aides. Legislative and executive functions were still reserved for the Sovereign in these years[2]:29,35–36, 97
Dutch Republic[edit]
At the start of the Dutch Revolt the States General (who were then not continually in session) remained loyal to the overlord of the Habsburg Netherlands, Philip II of Spain (who did not have the title of king in the Netherlands, but held the title of duke and count in the several provinces). In 1576 the States General as a whole, however, openly rebelled against the Spanish crown. In 1579 the States General split as a number of southern provinces, united in the Union of Arras returned to obedience, while other provinces, united in the Union of Utrecht continued the rebellion.[2]:260–268,288–296 After the Act of Abjuration in 1581 the northern States General replaced Philip II as the supreme authority of the northern Netherlands, which then became known as the United Provinces. This was a confederation in which most government functions remained with the provincial States (and local authorities, like the Vroedschappen). These delegated representatives to the States General as a kind of ambassadors acting with a mandate limited by instruction and obligatory consultation (last en ruggespraak). The States General, in which the voting was by province, each of the seven provinces having one vote,[5] took on many executive functions after the Council of State of the Netherlands had temporarily come under English influence, due to the Treaty of Nonsuch.[2]:305–315[6]:293–294 The States General for this reason since 1593 remained continually in session until their dissolution in 1795. The presidency rotated weekly among the senior representatives of the provinces. Under the Union-of-Utrecht treaty the States General formally was the sovereign power, representing the Republic in foreign affairs and making treaties with foreign monarchs.[6]:292–293 As such the honorific title of the States General collectively was Hoogmogende Heren (mightiest, or very mighty, lords[7]).
Due to the vagaries of the Eighty Years' War in which territories were lost and (partially) reconquered, not all territories that had originally signed up for the Union of Utrecht remained represented in the States General. The States of Brabant and of Flanders lost their representation after 1587 as most of their territory had been conquered by the Army of Flanders, and it was not restored after part of that territory (together with parts of the Duchy of Limburg) was reconquered by the Dutch Republic. The Drenthe territory was never directly represented in the States General. Twenty per cent of the new Republic's territory, known as the Generality Lands, was so under the direct rule of the Generality (generaliteit).[6]:297–300 The Dutch East India Company and the Dutch West India Company were also under its general supervision; for this reason Staten Island in New York City (originally New Amsterdam) and Staten Island, Argentina (Discovered by Dutchman Jacob le Maire), are among places named after the Staten-Generaal.
The "southern" States General after 1579 were a continuation of the States General as they had been under the Habsburg Netherlands. After the (re)conquest of most of the territory of the States of Brabant and of Flanders these States again sent representatives to these States General for the Southern Netherlands, together with the "obedient" provinces of the Union of Arras. The southern States General only occasionally came in session, however. The last regular session was in 1634, when Philip IV of Spain dissolved them.[2]:315–321
The States General in both The Hague and Brussels came to an end after 1795; the South was annexed by France, and the North saw the proclamation of the Batavian Republic and the subsequent convocation of the National Assembly (1 March 1796).
Kingdom of the Netherlands[edit]
The name Staten-Generaal was resurrected in the title of subsequent Dutch parliaments in and after 1814, after the end of the annexation to the First French Empire by Napoleon I of France in 1813. These had, however, little resemblance to the States General under the Republic. Beginning with the Sovereign Principality of the United Netherlands the States General was a unicameral legislature, without executive functions, in which the 55 representatives no longer represented the States-Provincial (though those newly constituted entities elected them, now acting as electoral colleges), but the entire people of the Netherlands and without last en ruggespraak (the Netherlands had become a unitary state under the Batavian Republic and the federal structure of the Dutch Republic was not restored).[8]:136 The States General became a bicameral legislature under the United Kingdom of the Netherlands in 1815, in which the 50 members of the Eerste Kamer were appointed for life by the new king from the resurrected ridderschappen (representative bodies of the aristocracy) and the 110 members of the Tweede Kamer (55 for the North and 55 for the South) were elected by the States-Provincial (in their new form).[8]:138
After the Belgian Revolution of 1830 under the Kingdom of the Netherlands the States General remained bicameral, but the (now 39) members of the Eerste Kamer were elected by the States-Provincial after the revision of 1848 of the Constitution of the Netherlands, and the members of the Tweede Kamer were directly elected in electoral districts (one for every 45,000 electors, so the number of members of that House became variable for a while). The Tweede Kamer became more powerful at the same time as it received the important rights of Enquete (parliamentary inquest) and Amendment, while its budgetary rights were strengthened. Formally, the position of the States General was strengthened, because henceforth the ministers of the crown became politically accountable to them, making the role of the king largely ceremonial.[8]:142–145
With the constitutional revision of 1888 the number of members of the Tweede Kamer was fixed at 100, while the Eerste Kamer was enlarged to 50 members. The suffrage was enlarged at the same time, but still limited to male citizens possessing a certain wealth. Universal male suffrage would be granted in 1917 and women would get the vote in 1919. At this occasion the electoral system was changed to proportional representation. In 1956 the number of members of the Eerste Kamer was enlarged to 75, and that of the Tweede Kamer to 150.[8]:151,153–155, 329
The States General were suspended from 1940 to 1945, during the German occupation.
Derivation of geographical names[edit]
- In 1609, Henry Hudson established Dutch trade in Staten Island, New York City and named the island Staaten Eylandt after the Staten-Generaal.
- Isla de los Estados, now an Argentine island, was also named after this institution, the Spanish name being a translation of the Dutch.
- Abel Tasman originally gave the name Staten Landt to what would become New Zealand.
- Staaten River is a river in the Cape York Peninsula, Australia.

And Go To $37,857.00 In Practical
Nurse Salary Right Now?"
Coaching, Your Fast Track To A Practical Nurse License.
-This Legal, Ethical Cheat-Sheet NCLEX-PN Review Study Guide
Gives You 'INSIDER' Test Content And 'Mirror-Like' Practice Tests
…Finally, Cut-Through Overwhelming 'Information Overload,'
Get A FOCUS And Pass-The-NCLEX-PN Now.
Nurse friend,
If you have to take the NCLEX® (National Council Licensure Examination For Practical Nurses), you know there's a lot of gossip, mystery and flat-out lies surrounding this high stakes test.
You may have found many NCLEX-PN review questions and books a rip-off and waste of time. Doesn't it get you mad some people make a fortune off nurse candidates with their mediocre practice tests and recycled study materials?
A disturbing fact is over 4,300 NCLEX-PN test takers have their nursing careers 'on-hold' because they can't pass. Thousands are forced to forget about their love of nursing and look for a job in this brutal job market.
You must be aware of the test prep mistakes (you don't know you're making) before you risk failure.
Practical nurse starting salaries are approaching $40,000.00 per year with full benefits. So failing and delaying your career is extremely expensive.
Nearly $40,000.00 In Practical Nurse Starting Salary
"How I Almost Lost My Nursing Career"
"I was unsure how to begin my review a few months ago. I learned the real cost of not doing it right the first time. I missed out on the nursing job I was anticipating last year. The cost = $34,647.00 first year salary, plus benefits not to mention all the other things I could be doing rather than deal with this test again."
"Your NCLEX-PN practice tests and free bonus extras like test coaching helped me to finally get this over with. I found what I was missing and 'tightened the gaps' in my test knowledge within the first day. My last test I passed! Thanks man for sharing the 'Areas of Focus' advice during the coaching."
-James Stevens,
"Where Else Can I Get The Focus And NCLEX-PN Help I Need?"
"However, when I started using my Teaching Solutions' review for the NCLEX-PN and one-on-one personal tutoring I got the help I needed. My test mentor really knew my specific test. Your test preparation 'success system' actually smelled fresh and new. It's just like how I found your books, fresh and updated. I'm glad someone can make new updates for exam changes."
"NEVER, EVER give up on your dreams! I have a ton of business experience, but my God-given "gift" and career is being a nurse. I passed my thanks to prayer and tutoring help."
-Shelly Gonzalez,
"How I Aced My Practical Nursing Exam With A Dumb Idea"
"After exam registration, I wanted to see what content I was low in. I tried your Testing Readiness Assessment. I got a 'heads-up' for what my testing 'blind spots' are. Your prep course content was very close to what I saw on the real thing."
-Dave Johnson,
"They Laughed At Me When I Said I Want To
Get A Passing NCLEX-PN Score On The First Try"
"The NCLEX-PN Comprehensive Success System helped me "out think" traps on an exam where almost anything is 'fair game.' Facing my family, kids and telling them I got fired from my dream career would've been too painful. You gave me the test content and test taking skills I needed to pass."
–Sandy Barnes,
"Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained"
"I first heard about your study books and help services last Fall when a student nurse presented it to me as something our college should purchase to support our practical nurse candidates. At first, I wasn't sure about your exam preparation services because you weren't a common name in our department. You seemed like a very assertive firm."
"However, later I was reminded that's the basis for your whole program, a guerrilla approach to pass that works without millions of dollars allocated to 'junk mail' marketing to students and universities. Therefore, you're able to pass on more value to the end consumer most of whom are on a budget or going through a budget crisis."
"Our students enjoy your NCLEX-PN review questions and preparation materials. Most are passing with your review program which is a big improvement."

Systems' for her school
"Money I Saved On NCLEX-PN Study Guides
I'm Going To Use To Buy A Car"
Mr. Rice's Students"Your NCLEX-PN review study guide gave me the 'real meat' I needed to pass without recycled exam content and loads of library books I didn't have the time for. I was also at-ease during the 'live' test because your book's test content and sample questions were similar to what I saw on my exam date.
"The money already saved by passing my practical nurse test, getting certified and starting a good paying nursing position vs. failing, I'm going to buy a new car. Thanks for your no risk (NO PASS, NO PAY) proposition 5 months ago."
"Sorry for being skeptical at the beginning."
–Dan S. Rice,
"Your NCLEX-PN Practice Materials And Specialized Tutoring
Saved Me 3-4 Weeks Of Wasted Time"
"After taking this test once and failing, I truly believe the test prep books from large corporate publishers mostly consist of 'filler pages' (400 plus pages) so the book looks bigger and test takers think it's better."
"I had a lot of urgent and nagging prep questions. Your NCLEX-PN review questions and test coaching help saved me at least 3-4 weeks of wasted time."
"On the last day before my test I had 2 secret questions for my test coach. He answered my questions right away without 'holding back.' The answers to those 2 questions also made a big difference in my exam success."
–Nancy J. Sousa,
"P.S. I can imagine trying to get help from a bookstore manual. What a joke! Trust me when I say there was no place else to get all exam help I needed."
"Least Expensive NCLEX-PN Practice And Study Option In the Long Run"
"There's a lot of stuff that's important to passing nobody's talking about and the testing company probably doesn't want you to know. It's 'untold info' all the other "SAFE" review books fail to tell you. The mentors and coaches were easy to contact and answered all those exam questions nobody else can."
"When I got my score report I was ecstatic. The small price I paid saved me a fortune and a year of my life I might have spent trying to pass again. I also would've seriously delayed getting a good job. Your test practice system was my least expensive option in the long run."
–Sarah T. Merrell,
"God Helps Those Who Help Themselves"
"I wanted to get as many NCLEX-PN practice tests, courses and materials as possible. I wasn't going to leave it up to hope, luck and chance as you say. God helps those who help themselves. I was willing to do anything within reason and ethical. Your practice exams and tutor help in the Comprehensive Success System helped me succeed on my testing date."
-Andi Stultz,
"It was overwhelming taking an evaluation like this after being out of college for over 26 years. Lots of times I felt it was impossible."
"I found your NCLEX-PN review questions and preparation class online has all the concepts and vocabulary of this evaluation! There are no other prep materials that lay-out the actual test content in an organized and simple format."
Mr. John K. Reeves
"Only 2 Points From My Future"
"I found myself only 2 points from my future after I failed my nurse licensure exam the second time. I wish I got your sample exams 7 months ago. It would've saved me months of misery. Thanks to your practice questions and exam guide I passed."
-Naira Underwood,
"Your NCLEX-PN Review Chopped 3 Weeks Off My Test Preparation Time"
"Like a lot of people I have to work 40 hours per week and commute over an hour per day. I was totally overwhelmed with the vast amount of information I needed to know in order to succeed. However, your preparation course broke the test into small bit size pieces I could digest. You saved me at least 3 weeks of time."
-Krystal Tembong,
"Test Coaches Are Very Supportive, Know The Exam Inside And Out, Are Easy To Work With And Very Low Stress People"
"My examination was over 70 miles from the small town I live in. My goal was to review for the NCLEX-PN exam every day to build confidence and knowledge for passing. The mentors help guide you a lot, know the content inside and out, are easy to work with and very low stress people."
-Josetta M. Shipps,
"Exceeded My High Expectations"
"Failing is extremely expensive. With the amount of time it takes to get prepared and the high testing fees charged most people can't afford to take this exam 3-5 times. If you keep on failing at some point you have to give up and find a different career. Working the rest of my life out a cubicle in a job I hated was not an option for me. I figured with the money back guarantee if I didn't pass, your study materials and test coaching help wasn't going to cost me a cent."
"Your preparation guide and one-on-one tutoring helped me identify what parts of the exam I was hurting in and bring me up to passing level. Your assistance was way better than the $45.00 per hour tutor I tried at another company."
-Rafael F. Rodriguez
"I Tried This NCLEX-PN Review Course Because I Was Desperate And As My Last Option"
Ms. Kefiman's Students"I had to figure out how to pass my practical nurse licensure examination or be without a job to pay the huge amount of student loans I racked-up while in school. After failing twice I was running out of time. I tried this because I was desperate. I was hesitant because your message seemed hyped and raw for nurse test prep."
"I really don't like buying things online or from companies I don't know, but everything turned out very successful for me."
"I found your test practice resources online and consulting services very useful. Your NCLEX-PN questions matched my test better than the workshops, bookstore guides or free study materials I tried."
-Marie Kefiman,
"You Gave Me The NCLEX-PN Study Guide I Needed To Calm
My Nerves, Relax And Bust My Test Anxiety"
"Tests always give me a panic attack. Believe it. Yeah, I know it's not normal. Although I didn't expect a complete miracle you gave me the solution I needed to calm my nerves and relax. You showed me how I can dominate in the testing center and conquer my fears. I finally passed! Now that's a miracle. Thanks."
-Regina D. Gorelick,
"Your Exclusive NCLEX-PN Practice Test And Test Coaching Helped Me With 'Selecting Multiple Correct Answers By Check Boxes, Free Response Questions And Ordering The Steps Of A Procedure Type Questions"
"I'm lazy and needed an easy way put this nursing exam behind me. 'Selecting multiple correct answers by check boxes, free response mathematical questions that involve medication calculations and ordering the steps of a medical/nursing procedure' type questions kill me every time."
"Your exclusive 'Formula' was what I needed, a simple set of steps and a basic pattern to follow. Your practice questions and tutoring allowed me to ask critical and pivotal help questions without limits. Even though I consider myself a "bad test taker" (especially under stress), you helped me get enough points to finally pass."
– Anthony Thompson,
"Old-Style NCLEX-PN Exam Guides Have Too Much Information
For Their Own Good And Don't Work For Me"
"I'm a horrible test taker and always have been. Passing this assessment seemed impossible. The old-style study guides have too much information for their own good and don't give me any results. I was getting depressed. I almost gave up trying to pass and was ready to forget about becoming a nurse. "
"I looked at test preparation books and example questions on nearly every website. I was in analysis of paralysis. I waited too many months and procrastinated by surfing online for free download materials."
"I read your web site several times over the last few months. I heard great success stories about you, even personally from people I know. I'm sort of tight with money because I'm a student. I never got your practice materials and consulting help until this last examination date. You got me squared away in a totally risk-free way. My parents are also relieved when I got a passing score this time."
-Rose Randall,
"I'm A Widow And Single Mother With 2 Young Boys"
"I'm a widow and single mother with 2 young boys. I needed to better provide for my family. I had been out of college for over 13 years, but was just finished going back to school and finishing my degree."
"My self-esteem was in the gutter failing this thing before. I got so overwhelmed with the wide breadth of the content and trick questions. Even when I thought I knew the content there always seemed to be 2 answers on the test that looked correct. You showed me how to "out think" trick questions so I could provide a better future for my kids. The NCLEX-PN review resources, sample questions and extra 5 free bonuses showed me how to avoid tiny test taking errors that could have cost me a fortune in lost practical nurse income."
-Alissa Lance,
"Thanks For The Effective Attack Strategies In
Your Practice Materials And Tutor Help"
"You helped me not just memorize a bunch of information. Rather, you showed me how to apply this knowledge to my multiple choice questions and deal with pitfalls that can sabotage my career. All in all I passed and tell other certification candidates about your program."
-James E. Griffith,
"I Didn't Want To Underestimate This Like
So Many Test Takers"
"I had to pass my nurse testing to enter a master's program at my local university. I felt confident about passing, but didn't want to underestimate this test like so many other test takers. I needed fail-proof study guide to insure I succeed. Teaching Solutions' self-hypnosis techniques, one on one help and peak performance tactics helped mold me to pass."
-Sheree Powell,
"Your NCLEX-PN Review Questions Helped Me Sharpen The Blade"
"I needed to start working and make money. This entire ordeal created a lot of financial turmoil for my family and me. I left a full-time job that paid $21.43 per hour 2 years ago to be a practical nurse. I've worked so hard thus far and wasn't going to let this whole thing blow up in my face."
"Although I wasn't aware of it at the time, the guidance in your study guides and test coaching in the "Testing Readiness Assessment" and "Test Success Plan" was the success map I needed. It was very helpful to have those services objectively 'done for me.' It was an eye opener!"
"I was just going to bushwhack my way through this thing like I did in my university classes. It didn't take me long to see this assessment is a completely different animal that requires a totally different strategy. You handed me all content knowledge in a super easy, user friendly blueprint, 'must know' vocabulary, advice and NCLEX-PN practice test questions which helped me succeed."
-Jill M. Wallace,
"From Totally Clueless To Confident"
Me Before The Comprehensive Success System:
"NCLEX-PN study rage, totally clueless, lost, nervous, frustration, blame, excuses, self-pity, procrastinating, high stress, unmotivated, unfocused, unsure, unprepared"
Me After Using The '7 Day NCLEX-PN Comprehensive Success System' And Test Coaching:
"Clear, pumped, confidence, savvy, experienced, sharp focus, prepared, take action, relaxed, calm nerves, peace of mind, peak performance psychology to hit my target for testing and nursing career success."

Is Often 'Sold-Out'
Is Often 'Sold-Out'
I ONLY give 137 memberships because there are a limited amount of tutors trained in this success system right now. I also keep the numbers low so you get maximum personal attention.
The bad news is: I don't have NCLEX-PN review coaches on standby whenever you're ready to go for it. If you think you may need this 'hold-your-place.' Don't get locked-out later when your burning help questions pop-up, you realize you're not prepared…and you're out of time.
The good news is: If you take action right now you're guaranteed to get all the help you need, even just a few hours before your exam date!
Grab this before other nursing students steal it from you.
What's It Worth To Have Your
Practical Nurse License?
Practical Nurse License?
I've been told this 'NCLEX-PN success system' should cost at least $500.00. You can agree that's a bargain for getting your practical nurse certification. Plus, an exciting practical nursing job with a starting salary approaching $40,000.00.
You know people who pay much more for dumb things that have no impact on their future. Those same people wouldn't dare invest money to improve themselves….
…That's why they aren't going anywhere in life.
Can You Afford The Price Of NOT
Passing Your NCLEX-PN Exam?
Passing Your NCLEX-PN Exam?
You can imagine how depressed I was to forget about living the "nurse lifestyle." I wanted to make a better future for myself, my family and an impact on kid's lives. Feeling those sharp pins and shame facing your friends and family isn't worth it.
-Avoid the shame at all costs!
Short on funds? Yeah, I know. I've been there too.
You've already sacrificed thousands of dollars in tuition and years of your life to become a nurse. This final investment into your success is your cheapest option in the big picture. It's your quickest escape route out of your current situation.
Without this 'success system' you'll end up spending a lot more money buying additional NCLEX-PN review questions or books. You won't get any human help or guerilla tactics you need to get a passing score (that's included in this program).
Avert a 'blood bath' on your upcoming testing date. If you have to start NCLEX-PN practice over again from scratch it could cost you hundreds, possibly thousands of dollars…or more.

"Classy gift"
By De Force
Comments: My boyfriend loved this thoughtful and well made bed side valet. Just the right size for his phone, stereo remote and ear buds (and not overwhelming on the nightstand). The customization is very nice and he will use this for a long time!
"All in One"
By Marylin Murphy
Comments: This has everything! My husband just started teaching at a new school and I wanted to give him something that he can keep at work. I didn't want to give him the traditional pencil cup, so when I saw this one, it was perfect! He really liked it! The wood is in good condition and the engraving looks great. He now keeps his desk very organized !

Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.
Examples: 1/16 inch = 62.5 mils; 1/32 inch = 31.25 mils

National Alliance on Mental Illness
page printed from FaithNet NAMI
NAMI FaithNet Newsletter: April 2009
In This Issue:
New Toledo Ministry, I AM HIS
A Toledo couple is starting a new Christian-based mental health ministry, Individuals Affected by Mental Health Issues Socializing (I AM HIS), which they hope will help other parents avoid the tribulations and trials they struggled through for more than 10 years.
The Well Community Modeling Acceptance
Believed to be the only church that counts the mentally ill as its target population, The Well Community in Dallas is seeking to be an avenue where mentally ill people can come to know the love of Christ. And the church hopes it can be a model for other congregations.
Combining East and West for Treatment
Though recently granted political asylum in America, a Tibetan monk living with posttraumatic stress disorder knew no peace. But Dr. Michael Grodin knew better than to limit himself to Western concepts. He added a Tibetan diagnosis, "Srog-rlung" and other Eastern treatments to the Western antidepressants he prescribed.
Creating a Pamphlet to Educate about Mental Illness
Two Portland Catholic mental health experts have written a pamphlet for national distribution to help educate parishes about ways to be supportive of mentally ill parishioners. The pamphlet provides simple suggestions for supporting and ministering to people with mental illness, insisting that no one needs to be a mental health expert to help others.
8th Annual NAMI Indianapolis FaithCEP Conference
On April 27, 2009, NAMI Indianapolis' Faith Communities Education Project will host its 8th Annual Mending the Mind & Minding the Soul Mental Health Education Conference for clergy and congregational leaders of all faith traditions.

Recipe by SweetCravings
"We use this marinade for rib steaks, but can be used for almost any cut of beef."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

Watch video tips and tricks
1/4 cup
olive oil
1/4 cup
balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup
Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup
soy sauce
2 teaspoons
Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons
minced garlic
salt and pepper to taste
This is what I have to say about this recipe. I wept with joy at the first bite. Do you know how hard it is to eat and cry at the same time? Yet, I pressed on. After that, I wept with sorrow, because there would be a last bite. Knowing that I would soon finish the succulent tri-tip steak that I had left in the marinade for a full day because I forgot I was going to cook it left me in a pool of tears... it was even harder to chew as I sobbed and sobbed... but I managed, oh yes. I managed. After a few minutes, I awoke from my bittersweet bliss, wiped away my tears and resolved myself to make this recipe... again and again. Oh joy! One thing to mention, though, is that I didn't have worchestershire sauce in the house, so I opted to use a certain brand steak sauce in its place (begins with an "A")as the flavor of that reminds me of the original ingredient. I'll be making this with the W sauce this week. I'll bet it's even tastier... Thanks for inventing it, YOU ROCK!!
Yuck! Too much of a vinegar taste. I won't be making this ever again!

Should leave out the oil as it prevents the tenderizing effect of the vinegar, oil meat just before grilling, otherwise perfect marinade.
This was excellent but after reading the review from the previous person I used balsamic vinegrette instead of the vinegar. It didn't overpower the other ingredients and made an excellent marinade. I will never buy marinade again!
Wow..this marinade was fantastic! Don't let the simplicity of this recipe fool you..it really comes together. I made it exactly as written, went easy on the salt and marinaded for 2 hours. Hubby loved it and the kids asked when we could make steak like "that" again! I will be making this marinade again for sure.
I'm not sure if this is the "best" steak marinade I've ever had, but it's very good. I used low sodium soy sauce left out the salt and used a bit less oil for two good sized NY strips. I also added some fresh rosemary. I let these marinate all day before grilling and they had a very nice flavor. If you use a good quality balsamic it won't over power the other flavors.
Made a good steak. The vinegar was the flavor that really stood out, maybe a bit more than it needed to. I think I'll try this again with a tad less vinegar and more garlic.
I usually double all ingredients except for the olive oil, marinate for 1-4 hours (depending on how far ahead I've planned! lol) and then, while the steaks are cooking, boil the leftover marinade with about 1 tsp. cornstarch to make a delicious sauce to put on top of the grilled meat! Mmmm.
