Hoy Mates!
Well, tomorrow will be the final day of "Red Shores and Pirate Anchors" for everyone on Prince Edward Island, it's pretty exciting to find out what happens at the end of the story! Of course...I already know. Hehe. But I won't spoil it for anyone! Not only that but all my readers in Ontario only have two chapters left! It's hard to imagine that we're coming to the end of Summer!
But we can still visit Summer in our imagination even when Fall comes and School begins again. Especially for all my readers from ABC Life Literacy, you've just begun your adventure with Lilly and Jude. As you read "Red Shores and Pirate Anchors" over coming seven weeks you'll be able to have a little bit of Summer every Wednesday!
So enjoy Chapter Three where you get to meet a mermaid and follow Jude on a coming adventure!
Chapter Three
"The Missing Chest"
Jude Mclean just could not sleep; he tossed and turned until there was nothing more to do but slip out of his bed and stare out the misshaped window of his room. The family's farm expanded out before him, it was barren and their last crop had failed which left the McLean's with no money for seed to plant. Jude was too young to work but wished there was something more he could do to save their farm and family home. It was a thought that made him lose sleep too often, but tonight he looked past the sparse expanse and to the ocean where thoughts of Lilly brought a smile to the boy's face. He considered how funny and honest she was with him, Jude wanted to help her find her Father. A suspicious something caught Jude's eyes though as a vision appeared on the water which he had only ever heard of in ghost stories. It looked like a ship, its transparent image flickering with ghostly presence. Leaning half way out the window, Jude could see blue flames flickering around it. "The Flaming Ghost Ship!" He could hardly say it, recalling his Grandfather's story of Pirates whose ship had sunk and now haunted the shores of P.E.I. Jude blinked and blinked, hoping it was a trick of his tired mind but no matter how hard he tried the ship wouldn't vanish and with the day's story on his mind, this just could not be ignored.
Running down the stairs and out the house, Jude rushed toward the shore, his breath short as he imagined what the scene might look like up close. He snuck between the fishing houses at North Lake where men of the sea slept with pillows and blankets in their boats, waiting for the sunrise so they could nab the morning's catch at dawn. The little shanties hid the ghost ship from sight, but Jude knew exactly where to go and with better ability than earlier he scaled the rocks back to Lillian's Grotto from the beach. It was so dark that he couldn't see Lillian's treasure chest but in the distance, glowing brighter than ever was the Ghost Ship. From this point of view Jude could see the blue light of the ship illuminating the water and it revealed the shape of a real ship sailing off in the distance its flag waving in the night baring proudly the Jolly Roger. "Pirates!" Jude exclaimed, so nervous that he backed himself against the wall of the cave. For a moment he was stricken with shock but Jude quickly realized something strange. He was against the wall of the cave, yet hadn't knocked into Lillian's chest. In fact as his eyes adjusted to the dark, Jude noticed that there was no chest at all. As his feet shifted, a crinkling sound from under Jude's feet led the boy to bend down and retrieve a piece of paper. It was too dark to read in the cave so Jude was forced back to the mouth of the grotto where he noticed that only white moonlight shone against his face. The Ghost Ship had vanished. It worried Jude, but not so much as what the note he was looking upon said. It was in scribbled writing and had obviously been done quickly.
"Dear Jude,
If you came here to look for me, thank you. I hid with my treasures when I saw pirates coming on the shore. I'm sorry I didn't get to say goodbye…but thank you for being my first friend. When I find my Father I'll come back and visit you.
Confused about what to do, Jude was folding up Lillian's letter when a splash of water hit his face. This was odd because ocean was still as night with gentle water washing up against the stones. A curious sounding giggle broke the quiet though; it sounded like a morning bird twittering and made Jude look down where the water met giant sandstone. There in the moonlit ocean appeared the form of a young woman, she was beautiful and had flowing blonde hair decorated with sea stars. She certainly didn't look like anyone he had ever met before. Climbing back down the rocks, Jude called out to her. "Hello! Hello?!" The only reply that he got was more laughing. Yet as he reached the water's edge, something shocking dawned on Jude. Not only had he never met this girl before but instead of wearing a dress she had a seashells tied together, draped across her and a long, shining blue fish tail. Fish tail? Jude was stunned; if that girl had a fish tail then it could only mean one thing. "You're a…" He mumbled, watching her fins flicking water around.
"I am a mermaid, a daughter of the waves from the Îes de la Madeleine." She spoke with a musical French accent. Too surprised to say anything Jude watched the mermaid with wide eyes. She seemed quite friendly and had playful look on her face. "I'm Meryl." The mermaid introduced herself. "I'm Jude McLean." The boy said thoughtfully, reaching out to shake the sea maiden's hand, convincing himself that she was real as he felt her fingers. There was a moment of silence between the two as they watched each other, but Meryl wasn't one to be quiet for too long. "What brings you to my water's Jude?" The mermaid asked as though she already knew. He had honestly forgotten for a moment, but the crumpled letter from Lillian was a quick reminder. "My friend Lilly…she was taken by Pirates…" He said seriously, maybe the kind mermaid would be able to help rescue Lillian. Meryl was thoughtful for a moment, stirring her finger around in the water softly. "And you want to find her?" She asked. It seemed obvious to Jude but he nodded in agreement. "You're very brave and kind so I will help you find who you seek." She said, taking Jude's hand and yanking him into the water. Knowing how to swim helped keep Jude afloat but it seemed like the water all around Meryl was lit with magical powers as he floated beside her. "But I can't go…my Mother and Father will miss me." Jude explained to the mermaid as she fussed over his wet hair and straightened the collar of his bed clothes. "Now, let's not be silly." Meryl said sensibly, shaking her head. "You must go." She didn't seem as funny as before with all her giggling, instead she was earnest as she watched Jude. "I can help you on your journey, but you are Lilly's true friend. You must save her. Now I am your friend Jude McLean and I will help you with the powers that I have from the sea." Jude was a little nervous, he had never left home before and in fact he had never even been to Charlottetown. Yet he had to consider Lillian and how brave she had been to go after the Pirates to find her Father. Thoughts swirled around Jude's head until Meryl took both his hands gently and stared deeply at his face. "Will you accept my help, friend?" The French mermaid asked. "Yes." Jude said softly. "Thank you Meryl…" He squeezed her hands and looked past the mermaid's shoulder at the horizon. Glancing over her shoulder, Meryl watched the Pirate Ship sailing away in the distance. "We need to catch them, no?" She said with all the mischief returning to her voice once more and before Jude could say anything she surprised him yet again by pulling him underwater with her. She held his hand tight, Jude gasped and bubbles rose from his mouth, but against all laws of nature he could breatheMeryl smiled at the boy and winked before swimming away with him. The Pirates must have been much farther than Jude expected because it felt like they were swimming forever. Fish swam between the two with shining scales, sea stars floated by gracefully with the jellyfish and the blue light that came from Meryl made all of it look like magic. Jude was sure it must still be a dream with the sea so alive around him. But a wave's current sailed by Meryl and Jude tugging at them so that the two had to hold on tight so they wouldn't be separated. The farther they went the more fish started to scatter and the waves pushed them to and fro. Lightning cracked above them with thunder following, as a storm of current brewed underwater. Jude's fingers kept slipping but Meryl held fast until a massive rip current came between the two. It tore them apart and Jude could only be carried away swiftly as he watched Meryl trying to swim back to him. Inside Jude felt cold and wet, separated from Meryl the boy couldn't breathe underwater anymore and so all he could do was swim against the storm to get his head above water again. But a fiery blue shape cut through the murky water and lit Jude's way as the current steered him towards an anchor that looked too ghostly to be real.

Google Apps' Spreadsheet does somewhat better against OpenOffice.org's Calc than Document does against Writer. Or, at least, Spreadsheet has a well-rounded set of functions, which many people consider the basics of a spreadsheet.
Yet even at this level, Google Apps is lacking. While help is a click away when you select a function, and functions are inserted with a summary, Spreadsheet has nothing compared to Calc's Function Wizard, which helps you to set up a formula properly before you insert it. To make efficient use of Spreadsheet, you really need to be already familiar with the concepts with which you work. It is definitely not a tool on which to learn spreadsheet basics.
Just as importantly, Google Apps has none of the function utilities of Calc: Nothing whatsoever like Goal Seek, Solver, or Datapilot. Nor can cells be grouped for convenience.
Google Apps does allow sorting in ascending and descending order, but no other kind of sorting or filter, not even autofilters for the top of a table. Cell, formatting, too, is confined to a few features like text color and background, without any of the customization that makes a spreadsheet more easily read, such as hyphenation. Such limitations seriously hamper Spreadsheet's use for non-numerical lists -- a common use of spreadsheets that Google Apps' designers apparently overlooked entirely.
Google App's Presentation has more templates -- or themes, as it calls them -- than ship with OpenOffice.org's Impress, but Impress users can quickly nullify this advantage by a few downloads from the Internet.
Otherwise, working with Presentation is a study in limitations. You can add sound, video, and a few basic shapes to a Google Apps Presentation, and some speaker notes, and very little more. If you want master slides with reoccurring objects like headers or footers, you are alone with your ingenuity. The same goes for handouts. And you have only a few options for pre-designed layouts. Sound? A choice of slide transitions? Better forget about those, let alone tables or animation.
But probably the biggest advantage that Impress has is the fact that it shares much of its code with OpenOffice.org's Draw application. This little fact makes Impress outstanding for diagrams, especially organizational ones. By contrast, all that Google Apps has to offer is a library of a dozen shapes, all arrows or callouts.
As for options for running a slide show -- don't even think of them if you're working in Google Apps. Calc, needless to say at this point, has a large number, including how you want a show to run unattended, and setting up a custom slide show that only uses some of the slides you have created.
I could continue, but I would only be repeating the same refrain. Compared to OpenOffice.org, Google Apps is a sub-standard set of productivity tools. It might fare slightly better against KOffice and AbiWord and Gnumeric, two other FOSS office suites that have traditionally been less full-featured than OpenOffice.org, but not significantly so.
Similarly, you might find network apps that would far better than Google Apps, although they are less well-known. But, again, the advantage would lie with FOSS.
Which leads to one simple question: With all these politically free, feature-rich alternatives available for the download, why would anyone choose to work with Google Apps?
This is one case in which free software philosophy and pragmatism are in complete agreement. Once the novelty wears off, Google Apps is simply an inferior set of tools.

Billy Joel divorcing again
Billy Joel and wife Katie Lee Joel have announced their separation.
Billy and his
third wife, child bride Katie, confirmed the collapse of their union to the New York Daily News through their publicist, who said:
"After nearly 5 years of marriage, Billy and Katie have decided to separate. This decision is the result of much thought and consideration. Billy and Katie remain caring friends, with admiration
and respect for each other."
Billy, who was trying his luck for a third time at this marriage game, is 60 years old. At 27, Katie is barely older than Joel's nearly 24-year-old daughter Alexa Ray.
Why the split? Obviously, the age difference. Billy is a longtime resident of the Hamptons, where he loves to walk the beach, ride his motorcycles and hide his drinking (so we hear). Katie loves the New York nightlife and wanted the pair to spend more time in the Greenwich Village apartment she convinced Billy to buy for her, living it up Sex and the City style.
"It was really the age difference that caught up with them," says a friend of the couple. "They grew apart. She is very career oriented. She loves going out. She loves the city. When Billy isn't touring, he'd rather be on Long Island with his motorcycles and boats."
Rumors have swirled for months that Katie was stepping out with 36-year-old fashion designer Yigal Azrouel after the pair was seen attending rounds of parties earlier in the year -- even dirty dancing together in Miami. But Billy disputes these claims.
"Their decision to separate was absolutely unrelated to Yigal," says Joel's spokeswoman, Claire Mercuri.

The words "stage magic" conjure up cheesy costumes, cringeworthy patter, and senselessly flashy tricks. Why, asks Alex Stone, can't magicians "own up to their own nerdiness"? In leading us behind the curtain of modern-day wizardry, he does just that, and his disarming strategy pays off.
Stone, who delayed his Ph.D. in physics at Columbia in order to attend conventions and workshops on everything from mentalism to the three-card monte, is an ideal guide to the world of magic. He delves into the oddball history of what he learns, touching on ancient Egyptian wizards, Renaissance "witches," and confidence tricksters in the Wild West. Beyond explaining how certain illusions are created (a practice for which he's been threatened with expulsion from the Society of American Magicians), he takes us through mathematical models and psychological experiments to explain their underlying principles.
Stone shows us how a blind man's sleight-of-hand mastery demonstrates brain plasticity, how misdirection in magic shows relates to selective attention and car crashes, and how the concept of the dollar store evolved from confidence games. And his book tells of his own transformation, from a hapless hack with a disastrous act at the Magic Olympics, to a math-loving conjuror who earns respect from his peers and finds geek love.
Stone's style is engagingly chatty, and although some pictures would be welcome, his detailed, droll observations set scenes with ease. While he fails to tell us how to pull a rabbit out of a hat, he's clearly learned that crucial showbiz secret: always leave 'em wanting more.

There's probably not a ton you can do about your taxes at this point, since the stroke of midnight marked the official end of tax season, but if you're looking to study up for next year and grab some pointers to help make the process easier, who better to ask than Gary Busey?
Busey recently filed for bankruptcy in Los Angeles and needed to complete an online financial management course as part of the process, so he's practically an expert at this stuff now.
Jimmy Kimmel brought him down to the "Live!" studio and had him share some of his know-how with the audience. The results are... enlightening.

Q-We would appreciate information on Diazinon and Spectracide, both of which we use for our lawn. Our 2-year-old cocker spaniel has problems with scratching and biting. Our vet says she has a skin problem. He gave her antibiotics, but this hasn't helped. Could the chemicals we use on our lawn be causing her problems?
A-The chemicals you use on your lawn certainly could be the culprits. Diazinon, in particular, is very strong and never should be used unless pets do not use the yard. In fact, it's so strong that if you spray it onto a tree, the leaves will wilt. A far safer product is Sevin Dust, a much less toxic powder.

Cell Lane Limited
Cell Lane Ltd has been established to develop a cell isolation and separation platform technology, based on intellectual property assigned from the University of Leeds. This new technology seeks to assist in the future treatment of chronic diseases such as cancer and AIDS, and is intended to enable new fields of research in research activities such stem cell research. The Company's proposed technology can be used to rapidly separate cells whilst preserving their functionality and overall viability.
Cell Lane is in the process of developing its technology to a point where it has a Minimum Viable Product ('MVP'), the MVP (i.e. the new platform) will then be developed and taken forwards to be commercialised by the Company.
Cell Lane Ltd believes that there is a pronounced need to develop new medicines and to vastly improve existing drug therapeutics using the very latest available improvement techniques. There is also a clear medical need to improve production volume outputs to not only lower production costs but to widen access to these drugs in geographical areas such as the developing world, areas in which there is often the greatest need. The very latest and revolutionary cell-based analytic and development technologies can potentially address some of these very real medical needs.
North America is the largest region in the cell isolation market, followed by Europe, Asia, and the rest of the world [1]. However, Asia is projected to grow at the highest compounded annual growth rate in the medium term. Factors such as increasing interest from emerging markets, as well as growing government support, and the high prevalence of diseases are driving the growth of this market.
Cell Lane states that the global cell isolation market is expected to reach USD 7.89 Billion by 2021 from USD 3.57 Billion in 2016, at a CAGR of 17.2% [1]. The cell isolation market is broadly segmented on the basis of product, cell type, production technique, and therapeutic application.
It is reasonable to propose that the companies that are able to deliver cost-effective, quality-focused and large volume methods for the production of cell therapies will become acquisition or licensing targets by larger pharmaceutical companies.

Bad signs at the mall
AP says that shopping is better than this year than last. (Certainly it's better than the England, where unfamiliar snowstorms are preventing stores from restocking.)
We ran out to the major Santa Clara mall this afternoon to buy a couple of items, and what I saw was signs that retailers were desperately discounting because traffic was lower than expected. Bath and Body Works had a number of 50% discounts and pretty much everything seemed to be 25-33% off. Abercrombie sold my tween a sweatshirt for 10% less than what we were charged on the morning of Black Friday — usually the day of deepest discounts.
Perhaps this was just the stores we went to — one for silly luxuries, one for stylish teen clothing. Other stores selling more basic goods could be doing great. Or it could be the Bay Area, or California more generally. After all, our statewide unemployment rate is 12.4%, or one-fourth higher than the 9.8% national figure.
In any event, this data is dissonant with the all-smiles-and-cheer view being presented by retailers.
A final possibility is that retailers underestimated how quickly demand would shift to online stores — which, as the WSJ notes, can now be consulted by smartphone-wielding shoppers as they stroll down the aisles. Given Silicon Valley has always had the highest penetration of e-commerce awareness and now has a relatively high smartphone penetration, this could explain the local desperation. After all, distribution is just another service that's been commoditized by the Internet.
If I'm right, luxuries/frills/non-necessities will be heavily discounted on Dec. 26 — a great bonanza for those who have birthdays in January (or are willing to exchange gifts on Twelfth Night.)

Crazy Horse Paris show Las Vegas features 12 beautiful dancers hand-picked to be similar in weight and height from the original Crazy Horse dance troupe in Paris. They dance provocatively barely clothed and often topless in a way that will excite even the biggest fuddy-duddy. This is a classy burlesque show that guys and gals will love, but make sure to drink your coffee, it can be a little boring after awhile. You can only watch beautiful women dance around for so long.
What To Know:
We go because we like naked girls. Duh. Why else would you go to a burlesque show?
- Beautiful Girls: Pretty sure we wouldn't pay a bunch of money to watch just any girl dance around half dressed on stage. Or maybe we would.
- Trained Dancers: If we wanted to see a drunken mess dance around we'd head over to LAX. The Crazy Horse Paris Vegas dancers are trained in ballet so they exude grace, unlike your drunk girlfriend grinding on a bar stool. Not cute.
- Cool Lighting Effects: It's slightly surprising but it can get a little boring watching half naked girls dance around for over an hour, so Crazy Horse Paris Las Vegas uses awesome lighting effects to keep it interesting.
Inside Knowledge:
Make sure to pick up your Crazy Horse Las Vegas tickets an hour before showtime.
Do's and Don'ts:
- Do Bring Your Girlfriend: This is one topless revue that is actually interesting for girls too. That is if they are cool chicks, otherwise drop it like it's hot.
- Do Drink Before the Show: The drinks offered at Crazy Horse Paris Vegas are EXPENSIVE so make sure to butter up before the show.
- Don't Come Expecting To See Nothing But D-Cups: The girls in Crazy Horse Paris Vegas are actual dancers so they aren't going to be super busty. There is more to life guys!
- Don't Bring Grandma: Awkward.
Is it Worth It?Naked girls dancing on stage? Yeah, it's worth it.

If you'd like to expand your beauty routine and try out some new products, here are a few things to look for…and a few things to avoid!
Labels and Packaging
· "Natural" or "Organic. These words are always a good sign on the label, especially organic. Yes, they're marketing buzzwords, but they often indicate a company dedicated to natural health and sustainability. Be wary of natural, all-natural, and nature-derived, though! Accordingto the experts at the Environmental Working Group, none of those terms are regulated: a lotion doesn't have to meet any standards to slap "natural" on a label. It's a good sign, but always check those ingredients!
· The Leaping Bunny logo. Grab your favorite lotion out of the bathroom and take a close look at the bottle. Do you see a little outline of a leaping bunny? If not, it may be time to look for a new moisturizer: that logo means that the product is not tested on animals. Not only is animal testing cruel and painful, modern chemistry has made it totally unnecessary. Check any new buy for the leaping bunny logo, or the label "cruelty free" before you add it to your haul.
· Fair Trade. The global marketplace has given us some downright magical new beauty products, from argan oil to shea butter to coconut oil. These are wonderful, nutritional, and all-natural ingredients…so of course there's a catch! Ingredientslike argan and shea often come from small farming communities in third-world countries. While the demand is great for those small farmers, you may pay more for a bottle of lotion than the farmers made for 250 pounds of oil. Fair trade products simply guarantee that the growers were fairly paid for their labor: you've probably seen the label on coffee and chocolate, but it's just as important in beauty and skin care.
The Ingredients List
· Parabens and PEGS. Parabens are a class of preservatives that often turn up in products with lots of plant extracts. They prevent natural ingredients from going bad, but they also have some nasty side effects if they build up over time. On labels, they'll be listed as a number of different chemicals like benzylparaben or methylparaben. As soon as you spot that "paraben" ending, steer clear!
· SLS. SLS is short for sodium laurel sulfate or sodium laureth sulfate, common detergents that make soaps and shampoos foamy. They're non-toxic, but they can be very drying and irritating, especially to sensitive skin and hair. You don't need to run screaming from SLS, since they're often present only in very low concentrations. But if you have sensitive skin, take a minute to look up the SLS concentrations in a new product.
· Fragrance. Fragrance, which often appears on labels as "parfum," is a tricky one. It's a catch-all term that can refer to something as simple as rose oil…or it could be a complex cocktail of toxic ingredients. It's an easy way for unscrupulous companies to hide dangerous ingredients on the label, so be wary of it. Keep in mind, if a scent comes from something simple and organic, like an essential oil, the label will just list that single ingredient, rather than a vague "fragrance" label.
Do Your Homework!
There are plenty of tips, tricks, and guides to help protect both your skin and your health, but none of these tips are guarantees. The best way to choose the best products is to do your own research, and there are tons of sources available to help you. There are also a range of reputable companies out there that provide healthy, natural organic skin care with clear, easy-to-find ingredient lists: HonestCompany's beauty line is a great example. Don't let yourself be misled or overwhelmed by sneaky labeling and false advertising: your best resource for finding safe, healthy organic skin products is right between your ears!

Overall Rating
What I noticed right off the bat is that The Beginner's Bible Activity Book has nice white pages that are a great weight. Many activity books are on a very thin paper or brownish newsprint-like paper and I much prefer these quality pages. The activities start even before the actual activity pages - there are images to color in on the presentation page and copyright page.
The activity pages in The Beginner's Bible Activity Book follow the general scope of stories found in The Beginner's Bible Coloring Book, but are not as clearly marked. There are images to color on almost every page, as well as a range of activities including:
- tracing (numbers, letters, lines, shapes, etc.)
- simple word searches
- simple mazes
- counting
- same or different
- find the rhyme
- smallest/biggest
- letter sounds
- connect-the-dots
- direction (beside, between, left, right, etc.)
- color-by-letter
- patterns
- ...and more
What I think sets this activity book apart from others is the drawing prompts to: draw a prayer, draw a gift that Jesus gave, and draw something for which you are sorry. These are a little more reflective than most children's activity books. I wish there were more of these pages.
As a homeschooler, I liked the fact that the activities seem to grow in difficulty throughout the book. I do think that the range of difficulty is pretty limited as far as age goes, though, so I would probably stick with 3-5 year olds on this one.
I think that The Beginner's Bible Activity Book is a great choice for young learners - especially with the retail price being below $5.

I received two books from the Beginner's Bible this time. The activity book has all sorts of puzzles and color pictures, like learning to write letters and numbers, mazes, word searches, matching puzzles, etc. The coloring book has pictures of different stories throughout the Bible.
These are pretty cool for any little one, especially early elementary school. I would recommend them for a fun learning tool.

This book in particular consists of over 60 pages of goodies that range from comparisons, tracing, mazes, word searches, and so much more. The age group on this one is 4-8 years. Complete with all the animated characters that seem to work so well with this series. A group of products. Love their products and my kiddos do too!

What's the Latest Development?
Last year, curators at New York's Whitney Museum of American Art decided to resurrect Douglas Davis' "The World's First Collaborative Sentence," which in 1995 was one of the first interactive Internet-based artworks to be acquired by a major museum. However, there was one big problem: It no longer worked on 21st-Century browsers. After much debate, the curators decided to present the work in both its original, broken version and a newer, "live" version. It also decided to open-source part of the original work in hopes that the public could help with the restoration.
What's the Big Idea?
The Whitney is just one of several museums that are grappling with the challenge of restoring and preserving digital art, which, due to the rapid advance of technology, degrades far faster than more traditional forms of art. Some of the questions being debated include: Should such work be left as is, and regarded as a kind of performance art? Could modernization negatively impact the original artwork's intent? San Francisco Museum of Modern Art curator Rudolf Frieling says, "We're working on constantly shifting grounds. Whatever hardware, platform or device we're using is not going to be there tomorrow. Frankly speaking, it's a huge challenge."

It is so uniformly dull that I fear to weary you, friends, in repeating its history; while for me, even now, outside of some few days only too memorable, the twenty-seven months spent in the fortress are like a great hole, empty and badly lighted, at the bottom of which sometimes passed human shadows and some few phantasmagorical scenes. In these scattered remembrances, the foremost is my cell and the first moments I passed there."

I have tried many brake rotor designs and both on my car and my wife's car and I have this particular rotor on both of them now. Most slotted rotors you end up having an imbalance and you will get a thumping or even shaking at the wheels, but that is totally not the case with this design. I have a pair of these on my wife's car for over 40K miles no squeeks, no shakes, better than OEM stopping. Overall a good buy if you want an upgrade.

After her general training Brenda specialised in children's nursing, and over the years has worked with adults and children, in London and Cardiff in both hospital and community settings. Since 2002 she has focussed on paediatric continence, working as Paediatric Specialist Continence Nurse at the University Hospital of Wales, a job which she continues to enjoy two days a week. A further two days a week Brenda works as ERIC Nurse, the first person to take on this role, originally funded by the Department of Health. Her employment is completed by a day a week working for Shine, Spina Bifida, Hydrocephalus Information, Networking and Equality. The ERIC Nurse post was created to seek ways to improve early intervention into childhood continence problems. Brenda strives to increase awareness of children's bladder and bowel health, by designing easy-to-understand information for parents and providing training for health care professionals and early year's workers. She has produced a generic Children's Continence Pathway,which ERIC is promoting as a model of best practice. The ERIC Nurse project won a prestigious Nursing Times Award in 2016, and has stimulated articles in the nursing press. Brenda has re-written many of the ERIC leaflets, and is enjoying working at the heart of the charity she supports. When she is not busy with her three regular jobs, Brenda is much in demand as a freelance trainer and speaker. In her rare moments of spare time she enjoys the company of her three children and her husband John, a musician and music therapist.

Overtime Pay
Everywhere I work, it seems like they want me to work off the clock.
I've done some research and found:
Federal Law, the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), trumps state law.
Some of the ways that health care facilities (especially skilled nursing ones) cheat workers
out of their overtime is:
1) Tell you to arrive early for report and THEN clock in.
2) Interrupt your lunch hour - even for a minute - then you are entitled to be paid for the hour
3) Make you attend meetings off the clock
4) Tell you to clock out and finish your charting or other work
5) Tell you to clock out and do the narcotics count
6) Tell you to clock out and wait for your relief.
They always threaten you with the loss of your license if you don't stay.
A group of Texas nurses has filed under the Fair Labor Standards Act to collect their overtime.
Although it talks about LVN's, documentation suggests that Med Aides, CNA's, housekeeping,
and food service will join in to collect their back money
It looks like the suit is expanding nation wide to many skilled nursing facilities.

Joined: Jun '09; Posts: 14; Likes: 12Jun 14, '09Sorry! I'm not working off of the clock for any reason, for any facility. If a meeting is deemed "mandatory" they must pay you for the time that you are there. If a meeting is not mandatory, (read: on your own time), I'm not going. Period. (Because I work nights, and these all important on-your-own-time meetings tend to be at 1300 for some silly reason). If I worked for a facility that tried to bully me into working off of the clock, I would find somewhere else to work. Charity begins at home.Jun 15, '09Yah! Good for those nurses! I hope they get every cent they deserve. I've never been told to work off the clock, but I have gotten grief for OT from employers. Basically I said to them, it is impossible to get everything done that is expected of me in one 8 hour shift. I'm lucky if I get one quick lunch break every day. So if you expect me to clock out on time every single shift, then you need to hire another nurse for the floor. So instead of actually listening to the complaints of the nursing staff (I was not alone), they add on more responsibilities thus more time. I would had loved for one of those managers to work the floor a few times just to see. I quit that job after 5 months from burn out working 50-60 hour weeks and sometimes staying until 2am after an evening shift. Typical LTC/rehab turnover. The facilities don't seem to care though because it's all about the money, not about patients, safety, or nursing staff. Ok I'm done with my rant now...LOL... I'm happy to see that some action is being taken!Jun 19, '09I do not work off the clock because I do not render my services for free.
I'd rather have management bother me for clocking out late than to devote that time to the company as unpaid work. If everyone stayed over to finish the job, then perhaps managers would get a clue that there's too much work in one 8 or 12 hour shift.Jun 19, '09Okay I know this sounds stupid but I am a VERY young nurse and I'm still trying to figure out how the world works. I work 3-11 and at my facility you get paid 7.5 hours EVERY shift regardless of whether you stay until midnight. Now let's talk about the conditions. 60 resident med pass plus you hope that no new admission comes in/nobody has to be sent out. If the doctor comes in your giving up your MAR for an hour and KNOW your going to have to stay late because you can't pass any meds without the MAR. And half the time the 11-7 shift comes in at 11..making me not be able to count out and leave until 11:15. Should I be getting paid for that time? Is this something I need to look into?
..sorry for sounding so naiveJun 20, '09I have never worked a place that did not pay me for all of my time. How do they get away with this? I do not work if I am not getting paid. No if, ands,or buts about it!!!!

Tom Cruise devastated by Tony Scott's suicide
Tom Cruise — like all of director Tony Scott's friends and family — is heartbroken over his death. The actor spoke about his friend in a statement Monday.
Tony Scott (pictured left above) worked with many actors during his directing career, but he had a special relationship with Tom Cruise (far right). The pair worked together on Top Gun and Days of Thunder — and they were starting work on Top Gun 2.
"Tony was my dear friend and I will really miss him," Cruise said Monday. "He was a creative visionary whose mark on film is immeasurable. My deepest sorrow and thoughts are with his family at this time."
Scott, 68, jumped to his death off the Vincent Thomas Bridge in the Los Angeles Harbor just after noon on Sunday, according to the U.S. Coast Guard. Rumors emerged that the British-born director suffered from inoperable brain cancer, but his wife reportedly told authorities that those rumors are "absolutely false," according to TMZ.
A note in his car detailed a list of people to contact about his death, while a longer suicide note left in his office reportedly detailed why he had decided to take his own life.
The most awful part of all: A boat full of tourists saw him jump — and many took photos and videos of it. Who wouldn't want photos of a man's suicide to add to their travel scrapbook?
"He landed right next to our tour boat, and many of us saw the whole thing," a boat rider told TMZ. Photos posted on the website show what appears to be Scott's body in the water near a boat.
As awful as it is, we could almost understand if he took his life because of brain cancer. But now we don't know what to think and it's just awful, especially since he had two small sons at home.

Archive:Dec 2010 Black Tusk Meadows
|Old Trip
|This is the sign up and organization page for an old trip. It already happened. Please do not sign up for it.
December 18-19th 2010
Black Tusk is a really cool looking mountain with some great meadows around it to ski. I like to ski. Let's go skiing! This is a beginner friendly trip, though it will be 'strenuous', particularly if you want to get some actual skiing done. The game plan is to drive to the Rubble Creek parking lot, then head up to either the Taylor Meadows, or the Black Tusk Meadows (preferable) depending on how we're feeling. Days are short so we'll probably just get up and make camp Saturday and then do a couple of laps Sunday morning before heading down.
Equipment List
Check the list of what you need on the Ski Tent Trip gear list. It's only a one night trip though, so adjust it accordingly and feel free to email me if you have questions.
Pre-Trip Meeting
The pre-trip meeting will take place on Wednesday, December 15th at 6pm in the club room.
Signup will be initially limited to 12 beginners/less experienced people. Depending on the number of experienced type people that sign up, I'll increase accordingly. In any case, come out to the pre-trip meeting even if you're on the wait list and we'll probably be able to squeeze you in.
Please include any avalanche training you have and a rough description of your skill level, oh and if you have a car.
Experienced People
- Phil T (AST1, decent skier, has car and tent)
- Matt Parisien (no car, couple of tents, barbecue skillz.)
Less-Experienced People
- Katherine
- Vicky Alfred (no avi, advanced beginner skier, have a car)
- Caroline (no avi but will read up, some resort skiing...)
- Derry (no avi, downhill skier, might have a car)

It's time to lean on compliance officers
James M. Berklan
If administrators and long-term care managers were ever looking for a good time to make their mark, this is it. And they better be looking to, or creating, high-quality compliance officers as well.
That's according to Rebecca Bartle, and she should know. She's seen a lot in her rise up the long-term care ladder. It's gone from certified nurse's aide, to registered nurse and MSN, to licensed nursing home administrator ... all the way up to board chair, regulatory affairs director and prized educator for HOPE (Hoosier Owners and Providers for the Elderly).
Her group is a "third" Indiana provider association, in addition to LeadingAge and American Health Care Association state affiliates. They work closely together with one another, and state regulators, on important topics such as the massive new participation rule.
Bartle painted a busy, tricky future for providers on Tuesday at the LTC Senior Living Central CXO Summit in Chicago.
Leaders need to get involved managing regulatory change for their organizations. They also need to help shape policy at the government level, she reiterated several times.
The new nursing home requirements for participation from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services are 700-plus pages of hard work. For provider veterans, it will mean revamping many processes they've acquired over the last 25 years. Some have known nothing different, so confusion and anxiety are expected.
Take a deep breath, get ready and step into action. The first implementation deadline is about six weeks away. But don't panic, and do let some of your most valuable assets earn their keep: compliance officers. They're more important than ever.
If you don't have one (or enough), get more in the pipeline, and quickly. Direct caregivers, including administrators putting out day-to-day brush fires, have plenty to worry about already. They need a dedicated professional(s) within the organization to be looking at bigger-picture compliance issues, Bartle noted. Provider associations also may be more important than ever to manage the massive number of changes. Some of the alterations might be mere tweaks and not require a lot of heavy lifting (i.e. adding email addresses in many places), but they are voluminous and need attention.
CMS is instituting the biggest set of changes since OBRA 1990, so it's naturally a bit disorienting for many LTC veterans, Bartle notes.
"There absolutely has to be increased awareness," she told me after her panel discussion on regulatory needs. "Some [veteran providers] may be making the decision that 'It's a good time for me to exit.' However, it's also surveyors making some of the same decisions. They might be deciding, 'I've done this and I'm not going to redo it and just move on.'"
That is part of Bartle's message: You're in it together with the regulators, who also have their hands full. It's not known how strict they'll be the week after Thanksgiving, when changes are supposed to kick in, but common sense would say good faith efforts will not be punished, at least early on. New surveyor training is set to take place in July, in advance of new survey parameters set to take hold in November 2017. Again, a ramping up period would be reasonable to expect.
But there DOES have to be movement in the right direction in the meantime. Your compliance officer/department gets a chance to shine.
A pair of top-rate policy experts from LeadingAge — Cheryl Phillips, M.D., and Evvie Munley — will be leading a conference call at 2 p.m. Eastern today that will take a "comprehensive" overview. It costs $99 to take part and offers CE credit. Find more details about it here.
Also, at 1:30 p.m. Eastern on Oct. 27, CMS will be holding a conference call for providers to parse the inner workings of the new final rule. The Medicare Learning Network production will take a broader view, including consumers in the discussion, but providers would be wise to look into it. More information can be found here.
More, similar efforts are sure to pop up. It will pay to keep your eyes open for them. Keep calm and start codifying the changes needed in your local policies and on-site practices. You won't be the only one tackling these challenges.
"The biggest thing for people like me who have had their entire career dealing with OBRA, and who may have felt they had a really good handle on regulatory compliance, is it's back to the books again," Bartle said. "It's time to make sure you cross your t's and dot your i's."

I-40 reopens after crane accident in Forsyth County
I-40 reopens after crane accident in Forsyth County
An accident involving a crane closed Interstate 40 west in Forsyth County Wednesday afternoon.
The accident was reported about 2 p.m. near mile marker 198. No one was injured.
All lanes reopened about 7 p.m. after another crane was able to upright the damaged vehicle.
All westbound traffic was diverted onto Interstate 40 Business and Highway 52 south, causing additional delays during the evening rush hour.
The crane was being used to put up a new road sign when it turned onto its side. The boom was apparently extended too far, emergency officials at the scene said.
The crane involved in the accident belongs to a company named Traffic Control Safety Devices.

as: Han Solo
"Hey!" you say, "Didn't you already do this one?" "No," I reply, "you're thinking of Tom Wopat in: Star Wars. Not the same thing at all."
That being said, we don't really need to get into the specifics of why Tom Wopat would make a rad Han Solo. Just read the other one if you're interested in all that jazz. Instead, we're going to take a closer look at two…
Representative Scenes
Representative Scene 1
First, the sequence where the Millennium Falcon flies into an asteroid field to evade the Empire. Han pilots the Falcon into a cave on "one of the big ones" and parks it there to hide out while he and Chewbacca the Wookiee make a few repairs to the ship. Eventually, he, Chewie, Leia, and C-3PO discover that, instead of a cave, they are in fact inside the gullet of a giant space worm. As they flee, barely escaping between the mighty beast's rapidly closing jaws, Han Wopat would let out a Luke Duke-esque "Yeehaw!" The film would then freeze-frame, and Waylon Jennings' narrator would chime in something like, "Them Duke boys better watch out. Sometimes the early worm gets the bird."
Those're literally the only changes we'd make there.
Representative Scene 2
Later, at Cloud City on Bespin, Han Wopat and the gang are greeted by Lando Calrissian, who promptly brings them before Darth Vader. Rather than opening fire with his trusty blaster, however, Han Wopat starts up a good old fashioned Dukes of Hazzard-style bar brawl. He grabs a pool cue from… somewhere and starts swinging, taking out Storm Troopers left and right.
Vader tries Force choking Han, but he scoops up a pool ball from… somewhere, again, and chucks it at the Sith Lord. It bonks Vader right in the chest, knocking his mechanical breathing apparatus out of whack and sending him to his knees in an asthmatic fit.
From there, Han and company flee on foot, with Lando and Lobot leading the way. As they go, they pass through one of several control stations for Cloud City's tibanna gas mining operation. Imperial forces are gaining fast, so Han Wopat fires one of Luke Duke's signature exploding arrows into a reactor. The explosion takes out the mine's ESP, allowing the station to fill up with highly reactive, unfiltered gas. The Storm Troopers tailing them get lost in the billowing gas clouds, and our heroes make their escape.
The good guys pile into the Millennium Falcon and take off. Moments later, the runaway tibanna gas reaches critical mass and Cloud City explodes in a massive fireball. As the flaming wreckage tumbles to the surface of Bespin, thousands of miles below, Vader's personal Tie Fighter is seen flying to safety. (A little too convenient, perhaps, but it'd be hard to have Return of the Jedi without Vader still in the game.)

By registering for courses, students accept responsibility for the charges of the entire academic year, regardless of the method of payment. The College bills for each semester separately. The bill for the fall semester is sent in early July and is due August 2. The bill for the spring semester is sent in first week in December and is due January 2.
As a convenience to parents and students, the College currently offers a payment plan administered by an outside organization that enables monthly payment of all or part of annual fees in installments without interest charges. Payments for the plan commence prior to the beginning of the academic year. Information about the payment plan is available from the Controller's Office.
No student is permitted to attend classes or enter residence until payment of the College charges has been made each semester. No student may register at the beginning of a semester, graduate, receive a transcript or participate in room draw until all accounts are paid, including the activities fee assessed by the student Self Government Association officers. This fee covers class and hall dues and support for student organizations and clubs. All resident students are required to participate in the College meal plan.
A fee of $330 per semester will be charged to all undergraduates who are studying at another institution during the academic year and who will transfer the credits earned to Bryn Mawr College, with the exception of students in the Junior Year Abroad Program.
Students are permitted to reserve a room during the spring semester for the succeeding academic year, prior to payment of room and board fees, if they intend to be in residence during that year. Those students who have reserved a room but decide, after June 15, to withdraw from the College or take a leave of absence are charged a fee of $500. This charge is billed to the student's account.
All entering students are required to make a deposit of $500. This deposit is applied to the student's tuition account.

Gadsden's mayor and city council members made hard decisions that allowed for the city to pass a $46.6 million budget without using reserve funds for the first time in three years, Finance Director Lisa Rosser said Tuesday.
Gadsden's mayor and city council members made hard decisions that allowed for the city to pass a $46.6 million budget without using reserve funds for the first time in three years, Finance Director Lisa Rosser said Tuesday.
The budget also gives all full-time city employees a two-step raise totaling 2.5 percent. Full-time employees whose base salary is $26,000 or less will receive an additional 1.25 percent raise to help offset the cost of insurance premiums.
Councilman Bill Stewart commended Mayor Sherman Guyton and staff for a balanced budget.
Councilman Robert Echols said the city has paid 70 percent of its funds for employees and benefits.
"This is the first time I feel like this council in 20-something years has been fiscally responsible," Echols said. "We don't want to go broke."
Some decisions were made that increase some costs for city employees.
"If we go bankrupt, there's nothing for anybody," Guyton said.
Rosser drew applause from council members when she spoke after the council approved the budget, talking about the tough decisions facing governments.
Rosser, as finance director for nine years, said she does not take the responsibility lightly.
"It is my responsibility to make sure that this council and administration has all the financial information that is relevant to the City of Gadsden," she said.
"That is why I give you detailed monthly financial statements showing general fund revenues and expenditures."
She said in 2009, the Government Account Board passed GASP 45 which required the city to include post-employment benefits on the balance sheet.
She said that caused the city to have a $103 million liability that now has risen to $110 million.
"Like many other cities, we were faced with an unfunded liability that we knew was a reality for the future," she said.
She said in tough economic times in 2010 and 2011 across the nation, the city felt the impact, too.
"Our sales tax as well as other taxes dropped sharply and we found ourselves dipping into our reserves or unassigned funds just to make ends meet."
She said many municipal governments across the country filed bankruptcy, including Jefferson County.
"Reality was happening and we knew that it was time to make those hard decisions," she said.
She said in 2011, the council voted to increase employee contributions to the Retirement Systems of Alabama by 2.5 percent.
"I realize that it was not the politically correct thing to do," she said.
For the 2012 budget, the council voted to remove all current retirees from the Local Government Investment Pool and place them on a supplemental Medicare policy and two weeks ago voted to increase health care premiums for all future retirees that retire after Jan. 1.
"By making those hard decisions, you have no doubt positively impacted our unfunded liability and secured a future for this city financially," she said.
Rosser said she is not only the finance director, but a city employee.
"I say 'thank you' for securing a future for the citizens of this city and for me," she said.
Rosser said she has often been blamed for financial issues even though she does not have a vote.
Her car was vandalized last week while she, council members, the mayor, employees and others were at a finance committee meeting at City Hall.
"I am an employee like everyone else," she said. "When retirement went up, I paid the 2.5 percent increase and when I retire, if I choose to continue to cover my family, I know that I will have to pay by the new ordinance the amount of $716.50 for my premium. But that is OK because I am thankful that you have secured a future pension for me, unlike so many other cities where employees are being left with nothing."
Rosser said she believes she not only has to be accountable to the city council as finance director, "but most of all I will one day be accountable to the Lord," she said. "Now as we look to the future, may we continue to be united in our efforts so that we can secure a future for many more generations to come."
"We are very proud of that fact," Rosser told the committee and other council members who attended the Monday evening committee meeting.
The proposed budget is down almost $1.2 million from last year's budget, Rosser said.
Personnel costs are 70.4 percent of the budget, which Rosser said still is high, and efforts are continuing to lower that.
The budget also calls for four additional police officers who will be assigned to an East Gadsden precinct, where the J.K. Weaver Technical School was and where city court will move.
The budget also includes changes in the oversight of the Gadsden Museum of Art which the council approved Tuesday.
Steve Temple will remain as the museum director, without a change in salary, but he and the museum will be under the Gadsden Public Library. This helps reduce the number of city departments and creates and eliminates positions in other departments, council members said.
