New York-headquartered accounting, tax, and advisory firm CohnReznick recently raised more than $105,000 at its 12th annual Bowl-A-Thon benefiting Make-A-Wish New Jersey, bringing the firm's total raised for the CohnReznick Foundation-supported charity to more than $1.35 million over the last 12 years.
Raised through employee fundraising, donations and raffles, the donations have helped grant more than 115 wishes for children with life-threatening illnesses through Make-A-Wish New Jersey's Adopt-A-Wish Program.
This summer, approximately 13 wishes will be granted with the funds raised at this year's Bowl-A-Thon, held July 16 at Hanover Lanes in East Hanover, N.J.
The partners and staff from CohnReznick's New Jersey offices who took to the lanes raised donations and sponsorships from friends, family and clients. Additional money was also raised when bowlers, other employees and their families participated in raffles and tricky tray auctions.
Every year at the Bowl-A-Thon, CohnReznick hosts a Wish child and his or her family who has been granted a wish through the donation from the prior year's event. This year, two Wish families attended and shared their stories.
"We were honored to have two families whose lives have been made brighter by Make-A-Wish join us at this year's event," stated Michael L. Cohen, partner, director of the CohnReznick Foundation and a Make-A-Wish Foundation of New Jersey board member. "Knowing that we played a part in helping those families inspires us to continue to support this worthy organization."
In addition to Make-A-Wish, the CohnReznick Foundation also supported the Special Operations Warrior Foundation and the Joe Torre Safe At Home Foundation at its 22nd Annual Charity Golf Invitational, donating a total of $150,000 to bring that event's combined total raised for the two organizations to $1.15 million over the past seven years.

Tyre Pressure Charts - tyre pressure charts and tyre inflation tables.
Tyre Pressure Calculators - tyre pressure unit conversion, gas savings calculator, tyre pressure temperature calculator, and more.
It is important to maintain proper tyre pressure for 2017 Peugeot tyres. Low tyre pressure will result in tyre underinflation, and high tyre pressure will result in tyre overinflation, which can compromise tyre safety, cause tyre blowout, decrease fuel efficiency, cause uneven tyre wear and reduce tyre tread life. Check 2017 Peugeot tyre pressure regularly, and monitor 2017 Peugeot tyre inflation levels to avoid overinflated or underinflated tyres.
Keep in mind that tyre inflation value listed on tyre sidewall is a maximum tyre pressure the tyre can be inflated to, and not a recommended tyre pressure for 2017 Peugeot. Use recommended tyre pressure listed on the tyre pressure chart found on a sticker on driver's door jam or in 2017 Peugeot manual. Also, pay attention as your 2017 Peugeot may have different recommended tyre pressure values for front and rear tyres. Keep 2017 Peugeot tyres inflated within reasonable psi range of the recommended levels.
If you replace 2017 Peugeot original equipment tyres with optional tyre sizes or you switch to plus size tyres, make sure to follow guidelines for the application of load and inflation tables to find proper tyre pressure for your new tyres on your 2017 Peugeot. Tyres with the same load index, regardless of tyre size, may carry the same load, but not always, and they may require substantially different inflation pressures. Tyre load index may not be used independently to determine replacement tyre acceptability for load capacity. An equal or greater load index does not always correspond to equal or greater load capacity at all inflation pressure settings.
Always refer to the 2017 Peugeot owner's manual for any specific safety advice regarding the application of replacement tyres.
2017 Peugeot replacement tyres must have equal or greater speed rating compared to the original equipment tyres if your 2017 Peugeot speed capability is to be maintained. It is recommended that tyre installers refer to the 2017 Peugeot owner's manual to identify any tyre speed rating restriction or recommendation that could affect the operation of the vehicle. If 2017 Peugeot replacement tyres have a lower speed rating than 2017 Peugeot original equipment tyres, the vehicle's speed must be restricted to that of the replacement tyres.
Original equipment tyres that come on your 2017 Peugeot will have the proper tyre load index, so stick to that number or higher when you replace them with new tyres. Tyre load index tells you how much weight your tyre can carry. Putting too much weight on your tyres will overload them, and can cause tyre damage, premature tyre wear or even tyre blowout. You can check 2017 Peugeot manual to find the recommended tyre size and load rating.
2017 Peugeot tyre pressure changes with temperature, so check your 2017 Peugeot tyre pressure when outside temperatures change. During colder months when temperatures drop, 2017 Peugeot tyre pressure will decrease also by approximately 1 psi for each 10 degrees Fahrenheit. Maintain proper 2017 Peugeot winter tyre pressure by adding air to your tyres as needed to the recommended tyre inflation levels.
2017 Peugeot tyre pressure should be checked when tyres are cold, after the vehicle has not been driven for at least three hours. It is best to check your tyre inflation pressure in the morning, after the vehicle has been parked overnight.
If your 2017 Peugeot is equipped with tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), pay attention to low tyre pressure warning light being on. Ensure your tyre pressure sensors are working properly to stay alert and enjoy a safe ride. If your tyre pressure warning light is on, check front and rear tyres to make sure they are properly inflated.
What is my recommended tyre pressure for my 2017 Peugeot?
Recommended tyre pressure for 2017 Peugeot is determined by the 2017 Peugeot manufacturer based on your vehicle's characteristics and tyre sizes. Select your 2017 Peugeot model to find recommended tyre pressure for 2017 Peugeot tyres.
How do I find my recommended tyre pressure setting for my 2017 Peugeot? What should my 2017 Peugeot tyre pressure be?
You can find your 2017 Peugeot recommended tyre pressure in 2017 Peugeot owner's manual, on sticker attached to the driver's door jam, inside glove box compartment or fuel door. Recommended tyre inflation for 2017 Peugeot will be listed in psi, bar or kPa.
How to check my tyre pressure for my 2017 Peugeot?
Proper 2017 Peugeot tyre inflation is essential to the overall tyre performance of your vehicle. To check tyre pressure for 2017 Peugeot you will need to know its recommended tyre pressure levels and a standard or digital tyre pressure gauge. Check inflation levels in 2017 Peugeot tyres with the tyre pressure gauge and adjust your 2017 Peugeot tyre pressure to its recommended levels be adding or releasing air. Check 2017 Peugeot tyre pressure levels in all tyres again. Make sure to check tyre pressure for your 2017 Peugeot regularly to ensure safe and comfortable drive.
Why is my 2017 Peugeot tyre pressure warning light on?
If your 2017 Peugeot is equipped with TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) it will alert you when tyre pressure is too low and your tyres could be underinflated, or tyre pressure is too high and your tyres could be overinflated, both of which can lead to uneven tyre wear and can cause tyre failure. If 2017 Peugeot low tyre pressure warning light is on, check all 2017 Peugeot tyres for low tyre pressure and inflate tyres to the recommended tyre pressure levels. Keep in mind that TPMS does not replace routine tyre pressure check and maintenance.
How do I reset tyre pressure warning light for 2017 Peugeot?
To reset tyre pressure monitoring system for 2017 Peugeot, make sure front and rear tyres are inflated to the recommended levels. Turn the engine on, then press and hold the tyre pressure reset button located under the steering wheel on the instrument panel. Hold the button down until the TPMS light blinks three times then release the button.
What is recommended winter tyre pressure for my 2017 Peugeot?
Recommended winter tyre pressure for 2017 Peugeot is same no matter what season. You should always keep your 2017 Peugeot tyre pressure at recommended levels. Keep in mind that 2017 Peugeot tyre inflation levels will decrease with lower outside temperatures, so make sure you check 2017 Peugeot tyre pressure during winter months regularly to keep 2017 Peugeot tyres properly inflated.

Enough SA'ers watched the Star Sailors League Lausanne event that we're back for more, this time from the SSL Finale in Nassau, Bahamas. With $200,000 in cash prizes up for grabs for the world's best plus-size racers, there's plenty to cheer for as you sit in your cold, wintery homes.
The commentary team gets a shot in the arm with our own Mr. Clean joining the fun, and he's reunited with former Sailor Chick of the Week and OTW Anarchy/VOR/AC presenter Genny Tulloch to help spice up the action for the venerable Star fleet.
We'll have the live show for you right here on the front page in a few hours – until then, you can keep up with video features and more rolling through on the Event Stream.

Longtime Newport Beach, CA Star sailor Jim Buckingham with Austin Sperry may have taken the first Star Winter Series event in perfect Miami breeze this weekend, but devoted SA'er Philip Carlson took the spotlight, the 23-year old Swede taking two bullets on the final day to jump ahead of Augie Diaz/Arnis Baltins for the second-place spot. Fellow 23 year old Finn sailor and Rio 2016 hopeful Luke Lawrence kept it tight with Philip until he blew a block up on Sunday. Carlson said he just kept the boat going, while 'the German Mr. Clean' a/k/a superstar Star crew and Weymouth Olympian Frithjof Kleen, made it go fast. Betcha didn't know there is a German Mr. Kleen…Here's a look at ours and Germany's at the same time.
Now that the Star fleet is firmly out of the Olympics, is this the first look at a younger US-based fleet? "If I am going to pay for my own sailing, this is the Class I will choose every time," said Carlson. The second SWS event is December's Commodore's Cup; register here and check the Series' Facebook Page for interviews, photos, and more coverage from the team. Meredith Block Photos.

I always face this problem when I sit down to write about a production from the TEAM (Theatre of the Emerging American Moment). I've seen three of their shows: Particularly in the Heartland (Traverse Theater), Architecting (P.S. 122), and now Mission Drift (The Connelly Theater), and it happens every time: exposed to their rip-roaring style of fully committed theater, I'm struck by an incredible loss for words in how to relate that work to those who have not yet seen the production.
After a few days of thinking about their latest production, Mission Drift, I've come to the conclusion that this is because the TEAM usually veers away from distinct narrative in favor of ideological, immersive mood. Like the TEAM's other productions, Mission Drift is a series of parallel stories, grasping for ways to explain what it's like to be living in a certain kind of America.

So here's the scoop. My pup will be turning 7 months in 2 days! He's been in our life for 5 months now. Over this time, we've bought him squeaky toys, balls, elk antlers, plush jacks, Frisbees, stuffed animals, pull toys, braided toys...the list goes on and on. Each and every time, the toy lasts about 10 minutes in our home, and then it is completely demolished.
Last week, we went out and bought him toys "designed for the serious chewer" (HAH!!) These toys actually lasted less time than the regular toys. PWD are notorious chewers. Early on, when we first got him, we learnt this real fast. All our shoes were either locked away in the garage, or they were stored on top of the dryer. Pup did ruin a couple of shoes...just flip flops and sandals that were left by the back door, but they were never big ticket items.
Pup, did, once inadvertently destroy a pair of my husband's slippers. How, you ask? How does a puppy destroy something without setting out to destroy it in the first place? Well, to make a long story short, pup and I were in the garage. I was getting him ready for his mid-morning walk when I noticed that pup was eying hubby's brand new slippers (barely 3 days old). Thinking quickly, I put the slippers on the trunk of my car. I then took pup out for his walk. 45 minutes later, we were back in the house. I put him in his crate and got ready to leave (a girl's gotta go back to work!). Later that day, when hubby came home from work, he called me wondering where his slippers were. "I don't know where you left them" I answered indignantly. Honestly, I thought, does that man rely on me for everything!!! Then, it dawned on me.....his slippers drove away with me that morning. I had never taken them off the trunk!!!! Yes, I know, I'm the one that put them there...however, I blame pup for that one!!!
Besides footwear, pup loves Bounce sheets, toilet paper, lint, straws...but above all...he loves Kleenex (especially the used variety found on the street). Every day, sometimes as much as 3 times a day, I can be seen on any given street corner trying to pry pup's jaws apart while pulling out bits and pieces of used Kleenex from his mouth. I do this with my bear hands, all the while telling myself that the Kleenex that's coming apart ever so slowly was not really a used one. In fact, I concoct an entire scenario in my head. This is a clean Kleenex. It was carefully folded and put in someone's pocket. As this person reached into his pocket to take out a bus pass, the very clean, pure Kleenex fell out of his pocket. Pup scooped it up immediately before it even touched the ground.....Yes, as my hands rip out little pieces, I imagine that the Kleenex is of the purest variety...it's the only thing that keeps me sane.
Why Kleenex?? Why not leaves? (so pretty this time of year)...why not treats? (yes it's true, we never encouraged our pup with treats, but maybe some of his puppy friends at the park have told him about the wonders of liver, chicken and beef flavoured goodies) Why, why, why...Kleenex??? I'll never know!!! But for the time being, I'll have to remember to bring gloves on our walks.

this hostel is a cozy great alternative in the city, overhand is not the best hostel you could find a lot of options in the city, this hostel could be for you.
but the owners need improve the facilities and rooms.
The room was a bit small, but comfortable with a tv and nice bed. The day we arrived there was no hot water, and the following morning there was no water at all for about an hour. For the price we paid I expect more...More
The hostal is ok, nothing fancy but nothing else on its price range. I disliked the fact that the owners, specially a young lady, smoke right in front of the guests at the hostal living room. They think that's ok. It's just terrible.
great find when i arrived in town without a prebooked room for the night ... this cozy inn is right around the corner from the popular Surf House, however for my stay was perfect with its smaller size and less expensive price for similar ammenities....More
Pros and Cons: The only con is that the hot water was only lukewarm. Breakfast included coffee, tea, bread, butter and a delicious assortment of jams. Internet was available to guests. Good maid service. The rooms and bath were cleaned daily. The atmosphere was relaxing....More

This week there is a sale on chicken thighs and split breasts for $ .99 lb. I decided this was a good time to use up some of the cooked chicken and broth I have in my freezer. I freeze cooked chicken in 1 cup amounts with 1 cup broth to use in casseroles and soup. You might want to take a look at my tutorial on cutting up a chicken breast here.
I made Chicken and Dumpling Bake Casserole from Deep South Dish via Aunt Nubby's Kitchen. To please my potato-loving husband, I diced up a couple of potatoes along with onion and red pepper. I cooked them in the chicken broth for about 10 minutes, then added a cup of frozen peas and carrots and cooked another 5 minutes. I added a bay leaf and some poultry seasoning to this. I drained the vegetables and layered them on top of the chicken, and then used the broth as directed in the recipe. This was very good and does taste just like chicken and dumplings. I think my husband had three servings. The leftovers were even good warmed up. I will be making this again.
I also made Cheesy Garlic Bread Pull Apart from The Real Housewives of Riverton. These are made with refrigerated biscuits and are very quick and easy. Since there are just two of us I halved the recipe and baked them in a pie tin with a custard cup in the center so they would form a ring. We really love garlic, so next time I will increase the butter to 3 tablespoons and the garlic powder and parsley to 1 1/2 teaspoons and brush the flattened biscuits with the mixture before I form them around the cheese. I also will use more cheese, but I think that I didn't use as much cheese as called for. There were perfect with the goulash that I served for lunch. I plan to keep refrigerated biscuits on hand to make this often.

Facing an exceedingly unhealthy workforce, employers are under more pressure than ever to lower health care costs and increase productivity. Many seek multiple carriers in hopes of achieving short-term savings. But by failing to integrate their offerings, companies actually pay more in the long run—as much as 7% more in medical costs alone.
Join us June 21 as we discuss the power of health care integration. Discover how turning disjointed products, data and tools into a single plan reduces costs and provides better outcomes for your employees. Learn why integrated, value-based care keeps a workforce at its best. And engage with Anthem experts as they share how you can take core offerings such as pharmacy, medical, dental, vision, life, and behavioral health, and combine them with clinical data, engagement solutions and more to create the next level of integration.
What you will learn:
- Why 60% of employers are currently, or are actively considering integrating medical and specialty
- How you can save up to $28 PMPM by combining medical and pharmacy
- How coordination between PCPs and specialty care physicians increases quality of care

look at the bright side, now the hackers will have a new project. how to rip music from dvd audio.
i'm betting less than 30 days for them to figure it out. (once the stuff is released of course)
at least i hope so. i don't wanna have to start buying music again – by music pirate

|what happened to mlp? (11:54am est mon mar 29 2004)
i'm a bit confused. so aac is now the format for dvd-audio. well what happened to mlp? a lot of people were complaining about mlp and that they would always have to band-limit signals in order to get them to compress. so did the dvd-forum abandon mlp for aac? – by brian

get use to it!!! – by phoenix8603
|i don't get it. (12:14pm est mon mar 29 2004)
is aac a compresion method? is it lossless? with 5.7 gigs available for an audio only disc, why compress it?
i thought one of the benefits of dvd audio was going to be sound quality that's better than cd (higher sampling rates). – by confused.
|aac is not for the main audio (12:45pm est mon mar 29 2004)
aac is being included for a rom section of the disc. it is intended for music players (ipod) and computers since there is no intent to allow dvd-a ripping. dvd audio is amazing quality and i don't believe it's compressed at all. – by braktune
|re: brian (12:46pm est mon mar 29 2004)
they are using mlp for dvd-audio. the dvd forum just choose aac as the compressed format for the dvd-rom data area of the disc so people can play them in their pcs/macs.
so if you stick the disc in a dvd-a player you'll get mlp. if you stick it in a computer you'll get aac.
it's all in the article on the register – by zorbadaswampmonster
|hackers (12:46pm est mon mar 29 2004)
i promise you that about 3 months before its realised publically, hackers will already be able to rip them. – by xanobia
|hey shane (12:50pm est mon mar 29 2004)
this article is extremely misleading.
the dvd-audio is spec'd to use meridian lossless packing.
the article you linked to is talking about the dvd-rom portion of the dvd-a disc for computers and portable players.
so the first sentence of this blurb is exceptionally misleading with the rest of the article serving to back it up. – by zorbadaswampmonster
|if ogg is so great… (12:55pm est mon mar 29 2004)
…why are there virtually no portable players that support it? i've never used it, and i believe it's as good as folks say, but it's lack of popularity is odd.
as for drm, i hate that shit! i recently had a problem with a pc i was building (wouldn't play dvds) and it turned out to be a drm problem. – by msp
|aac (1:24pm est mon mar 29 2004)
i finally feel cool ->
thanks shane for the post.
as for the article i am just glad it is not media 9. i don't know one audio tech that liked that idea, or movie editor that was happy about that choice.
at least with knowing it is something apple is supporting and has full backing of, you know it is going to work right none the less.
and for people that talk about how great ogg is and they should of used that, it also depends on the compression you used, a human is never going to tell the difference no matter what, and i have friends that hear just about anything, all they do is qc all day audio fixes everyday and they cant even tell a difference.
so that makes me cool & right that i know people ->

i have $500 computer speakers and can't hear the differnce between cd music and dvd music. i have metallica's black album on both for a direct comparison. thus i say screw dvd-audio disc's. most human ears probably can't tell the difference without $7000 speakers in a perfectly quiet environment anyways. i think i'll stick with cd's since they typically have no drm. – by james beatty

hey james !!!!
your ears are probably already damaged from all those ears of freaking loud metallica !!!!
even a one million dollar pair of speakers can't help you !!!!
mlp is made for educated listeners who take care of their ears so they can appreciate music !!! noise sounds decent(or even better) on real-audio !!!!
– by audiophile
|i can't tell the difference (8:21pm est mon mar 29 2004)
unless you have a dedicated dvd-audio player, what you are listening to is probably the same quality as cd. dvd-audio needs a dedicated player that will not output to digital. it is designed to connect to an amp via the multi-channel analogue outputs on the dvd-audio player. there are very few dvd-audio discs out there. dvd-audio discs have a non-compressed section (in the audio_ts directory) and a section in the video_ts dir that will allow you to play it through a standard dvd player. sometimes this section will be encoded in dts or dolby digital. this is the area that the article refers to. – by tech
|i take care (9:11pm est mon mar 29 2004)
of my ears, otherwise how would i enjoy the glory of napalm death, and raging speed horn, my stereo doesn't do them justice.
dvd-a here i come, i need my (as a friend put it) "dieing waruses" in 6 channel glory.
i guess mp3 in its current form was always out of the question for the industry, and apple were always going to win because of the drm technology.
even cd's are getting drm, i think my concions will enjoy laughing at my attempts to 'acquire' music as freely in the future (not that i do much, i like having the music on cd/dvd and i enjoy going to a shop and buying it). – by underscore
|my ears are better then average….. (9:39pm est mon mar 29 2004)
i can hear the alarms across the building at work way farther away then the several other people in my workgroup. they'll swear they're not going off until we're much closer. "tech" had a good point that maybe dvd-audio on my computer with my audigy 2 card may well be limiting the quality of the dvd-audio disc's though. anyways, for a noisy drive to work all my cd's ripped to 256kb/s mp3's on my ipod is good enough.
ps: i had two of the rio's fail so i actually gave apple's ipod a try. dam nice unit it turns out. – by james beatty
|who cares… (11:45pm est mon mar 29 2004)
its a fucking format…
get lives… all of you. – by retards
|aac hey… (9:20am est tue mar 30 2004)
aac is the audio compression format for mp4's isn't it? and mp4 is based on apple's quicktime format too, isn't it? :)
it's so incredibly easy to rip anything – it all depends on how accurate you want the copy to be.
if you really want to rip aac audio, you could probably just record it while it's playing. my soundblaster live card has a "record whatever you hear" option – it may not be faster than real-time, but you'll get a good enough reproduction.
my mobile phone can play aac's, and they sound a lot better than mp3's i can tell you!
as for being able to tell the difference between sounds:
firstly, the ear can only distinguish frequencies between 20hz and 20khz or so. however, studies have shown that whilst we can't directly hear sounds above 20khz, they do subtly affect us.
cd audio will give you up to 22khz, which is already just above the threshold of direct hearing.
dvd audio will give up to 24khz – a slight improvement over dvd.
now, for the clincher: to reproduce this complete spectrum, you need:
i know i don't have the above setup!
so, for the general joe bloggs, dvd audio will sound exactly the same as normal cd audio on your average home hi-fi setup. if audio is compressed too much, then you can start picking it up.
personally, i'm not a fan of mp3's encoded at anything below 196kb/sec. i can pick up the distorted bass and the washed out higher frequencys too easily, especially at low volumes. my only solution is to crank up the volume :)

Google's winning streak with respect to the Street View privacy breach might be coming to an end. Although the UK's Information Commissioner's Office and the Federal Trade Commission let the company off the hook, the Federal Communications Commission confirmed this week that it's started looking into the matter.
Not much else is known about the new probe at this point. We can suppose Google's admission that it collected "entire emails and URLs . . . as passwords" is what set the government agency off, considering nothing else has happened recently.
Also, the tone and wording of a statement Michele Ellison, the chief of the FCC's enforcement bureau, gave to Amy Schatz and Amir Efrati indicates that the FCC believes Google committed a serious error, and perhaps needs to pay for it in some way.
Still, Ellison just said, "As the agency charged with overseeing the public airwaves, we are committed to ensuring that the consumers affected by this breach of privacy receive a full and fair accounting."
We'll of course be sure to continue to relay any other information the FCC releases, along with any significant points Google decides to make.

Aesthetics, Part I: Book Covers
I know they say don't judge a book by its cover, but I'll confess, I definitely do just this. When I see a cover like Kiera Cass' 'Selection' series or even Morgan Matson's fun, summer-like contemporaries, I'm all like, "Get on my bookshelf!" But of course, we all know that a pretty cover doesn't mean the story inside will be good and vice versa. Still, a pretty wrapping on the outside will go a long way in ensuring a reader's eye will be drawn to a new book. All we can do is hope the inside is equally fabulous.

Brandon Shimoda's The Girl Without Arms
Leif Haven, writing for HTMLGiant, reviews Brandon Shimoda's 2011 book, The Girl Without Arms (Black Ocean). Haven notes that "the syntax itself is surreal." More:
Sometimes The Girl Without Arms feels like a poetry devoid of people. Like it sprung from the earth elementally, without being crafted by anyone or like it's what's left after all the people are gone. Sometimes it feels austere and lonely. There is a kind of transcendence in the small, the slightly off diction, the twisted cadences and syntax.
"The boats
Do not move.
There are no people
Like it."
In some sections it's as if the people that might exist are so minimal as to be hard to notice. The little ecologies of Shimoda's short unpredictable stanzas are aesthetically charged and abstract; they are essential tiny interrelated linguistic artifacts that seem to stand independent of time or context. Shimoda's words tend to connote more than denote.
On the back of the book Tomaz Salamun calls Shimoda an Ur-being. That's insane and hilarious. I will give him credit for being a poet but I've never met him so I don't know about an Ur-Being. One point in the text that I keep turning to is this section of "Occasion Of The Massive":
"To eat your partner to the brain
And be suffocated by the impossibility that the terrifyingly inert mass of
Wet coral is what loves you
Is to fear
What makes you continue pulling the rest of your partner's organs
With your teeth
In spit of the original desire to barter breath"
"Occasion Of The Massive" does at least two separate things. The haggard beatification of cannibalism is both beautiful and terrifying and probably one because of the other. The horrific desire for consummation of union through consumption literally or figuratively is paired actually with the horror of materialism. The narrator confronts the fact that brain, a physical blob of "terrifyingly inert mass" is what consciousness is; that "is what loves you."
Read the full review.

It was a short season, but great! We only had enough time to cater for our clients during August – before the inevitable shorter evenings. As soon as the sun sets earlier than 8:00pm, you know you're going to be struggling to photograph badgers in daylight or even twilight. The badgers have always shown, for some earlier than others., but that's just the way it goes. Already looking forward to seeing next years cubs and enjoying a long productive season of badger photography.

This morning's edition of the Israeli newspaper Haartez profiles the tent city outside the Hadassah Hospital that has become home for those of us who are on 24-hour Ariel Sharon death watch.
On Thursday, the press encampment consisted of just a few satellite trucks and TV live positions.
But over the days more and more crews have arrived from around the world. We've added tents, plastic sheeting, heaters, kettles, even bedding, to protect us from the cold and damp Jerusalem nights.
Our temporary refugee camp is beginning to look more and more permanent.
No-one expected the Israeli Prime Minister to survive this long and there's an element of Groundhog Day about our daily routine.
Mr Sharon's continuing critical condition means we can't leave. But the lack of developments mean the editors back in London are getting bored with endless two-ways reporting "no change" -- so we're slowly slipping down the programme running orders.
And so the waiting game continues.

Today's interviewer is Kendare Blake!
Serious question: How do you as bloggers feel about the decline of big box book retailers like Borders and Barnes and Noble. Not that Barnes and Noble is going to die! But if it did! Discuss.
Kim: Given that I work in a bookstore, I'm feeling pretty poorly about it. I think there's a magic to a bookstore that you can't get just by sitting in front of a computer perusing Amazon. I like walking into a bookstore, browsing and maybe conversing with staff about what's hot or what they might have read recently that was amazing.
Not so serious question: As book bloggers, what is your most hated book/book character, and how would you prank them? Conversely, name a favorite, and describe how you would profess your love and get them to hang out with you.
Kim: Hated book character…. If I hate them, I apparently throw them right out of my mind since I can't even think of one at the moment. Currently a favorite of mine is Warner from the Shatter Me book series. And I'm not sure I'd be able to hang out with him. He seems like a very intense individual, with strict habits. His interactions with the protagonist, Juliette, fall outside his normal behavioral patterns. So I feel I'd have to make him fall in love with me first before anything else. Haha, and that's not something I'm sure I could do. Therefore I won't profess my love. … And I answered that way too seriously.
Kendare Blake is an import from South Korea who was raised in the United States by caucasian parents. You know, that old chestnut. She received a Bachelor's degree in Business from Ithaca College and a Master's degree in Writing from Middlesex University in London. She brakes for animals, the largest of which was a deer, which sadly didn't make it, and the smallest of which was a mouse, which did, but it took forever. Amongst her likes are Greek Mythology, rare red meat and veganism. She also enjoys girls who can think with the boys like Ayn Rand, and boys who scare the morality into people, like Bret Easton Ellis.

The Montreal Canadiens rolled the dice by trading playoff hero Jaroslav Halak to St. Louis during the summer. Thus far, Carey Price is making their gamble pay off.
Halak is playing superbly in St. Louis -- but Price is playing the kind of hockey the Canadiens expected of him when they made him the fifth pick in the 2005 Entry Draft. He earned his 10th victory of the season on Saturday with a 28-save performance in a 7-2 victory against Carolina.
The win capped a week that saw Price go 3-0-0 while outplaying Roberto Luongo in a 2-0 victory against Vancouver and a 34-save performance in a 3-1 win at Boston. After barely making the playoffs, the Canadiens are on top in the Northeast Division, and Price is the biggest reason why.

Forced to wear nurses' hat
Every Sunday when we serve we have to wear all white with the nurses' cap. Everyone on the nurses ministry hate wearing the hat for obvious reasons( falls off, gets dirty, ugly). I liked the hate during pinning but now I despise it. Another, issue some of us have is that not everyone on the nursing ministry are nurses. Some people are techs, respiratory therapists and secretaries. I feel they are misreprensented when wearing the nurses hats as everyone assume we are all nurses. We have voiced our concerns to the lead nurse in charge but she will not budge and forces us to wear the hats.
We wanted to make our case more prominant but couldn't find anything evidenced based or strong to make our case.
I'm happy to be serving and I mainly do this for my love for God. I know this is what He wants me to do.
Have any of you ever been forced to wear these hats? If so, how did you handle it?

Joined: Jan '13; Posts: 1,974; Likes: 4,308Feb 21, '13People who are not nurses should not be referred to as nurses. Many states have laws against people who are not licensed as nurses representing themselves as nurses.
Also.......what is the function of the "nursing ministry"?
Back to the hat question........ I haven't had to wear a hat in years.Last edit by tnbutterfly on Feb 21, '13Feb 21, '13Have not warn a hat since 1980 in the Stone Age.....?
Sent from my iPhone using allnurses.comFeb 22, '13So the nurses ministry at my church consist of anyone who works in the health care field or have the desire.
3 of us serve on Sunday, we sit on the pulpit at church. If there is an emergency we respond, or if someone have any minor compliant or issues we tend to their needs. If we have a member in distress we take vital signs and allow them to rest in the health suite, we have sent several members out to the hospital via EMS as well. One person c/o CP, another person had a B/P that was 190/110, another was a seizure.
Once a month we do B/P screenings. We also check BGL as needed for diabetics and have snacks if they need it.
We faciliate health fairs and blood drives. We educate members about various common illnesses. We also faclilate visits to those who are ill or in the hosptial. We also document on all members we see. Ofcourse, more importantly we offer prayer.
That is basically it in a nutshell.Feb 22, '13Since there are others besides nurses who participate in this ministry, perhaps you should think about changing the name. You could call it the health ministry team. If you want a visible and identifying sign for members to wear during Sunday services or other events, badges or vests should suffice.Feb 22, '13The ministry leader- AND the church staff - need to be made aware that having non-nurses wear a nurse's cap (it's not a 'hat') is misrepresenting their role and COULD open them up to legal difficulties.
If you don't personally like wearing a cap, and it's that big a deal to you, no one is forcing you to serve.Feb 22, '13I'm not being forced to serve but I am being forced to wear the cap. Not serving is not an option for me at this time as I know this is what God wants me to do ( even though, my flesh doesnt want to at times).
I just needed to vent. I'll always wear the cap but I will vent about it from time to time.Feb 22, '13Quote from crazy&cuteRNYou might want to pass this compelling information on to the lead nurse in charge.I feel they are misreprensented when wearing the nurses hats as everyone assume we are all nurses. We have voiced our concerns to the lead nurse in charge but she will not budge and forces us to wear the hats.
We wanted to make our case more prominant but couldn't find anything evidenced based or strong to make our case.
Per the American Nurses Association:
Restricting use of the title "nurse" to only those individuals who have fulfilled the requirements for licensure as outlined in each state's nurse practice act is a protection for the public against unethical, unscrupulous, and incompetent practitioners. Nurse practice acts describe entry level qualifications such as education, practice standards and code of conduct for continued privilege to practice nursing. Limiting use of the title "nurse" to only those who have satisfied the licensure requirements ensures the protection the public deserves.
At least 37 states are known to have language in their Nurse Practice Act; either explicit in restricting use of the title "nurse" to only those who are licensed or implicit language restricting use of any words implying the individual is a licensed nurse.....
Maryland is one of the 37 states that has language which restricts the use of the title "nurse".
Here is what the Maryland Nurse Practice Acts states:
(2005) Repealing and Reenacting, with amendments; Article - Health Occupations Section 8-710 (a)(6)
(b) unless authorized to practice registered nursing or licensed practical
nursing under this title, a person may not use the word" nurse" to describe the profession of the person.
(c) unless authorized to practice registered nursing under this title, a
person may not use the words or terms" registered nurse", the abbreviation" RN", or any other title, symbol, abbreviation, sign, card, device, or other representation with the intent to represent that the person practices registered nursing.
(d) unless authorized to practice licensed practical nursing under this title,
a person may not use the words or terms "licensed practical nurse", the abbreviation "LPN", or any other title, symbol, abbreviation, sign, card, device, or other representation with the intent to represent that the person practices licensed practical nursing.
What your lead nurse is advocating is not a legal practice and could get your church in trouble.Feb 28, '13Quote from crazy&cuteRNWell thank you!TNbutterfly, You rock!!! that is all....
How are things going?
I thought about you last night when my Health and Wellness Committee was helping with a ministry activity at church last night. I could just picture me telling them they all had to wear caps. HAHAHAMar 1, '13Well, I emailed her and gave her the information. At our next nurses' meeting I will be bringing up the topics again of the hat, giving OTC meds ( which is not allowed per MBON) and changing the name.

You know to have a successful open house you have to get foot traffic through the door. In some ways it was easier to advertise open houses before the internet. Before you would list the open house in the newspaper and drop off flyers in the neighborhood. Then the day of the open house you would stick a sign in the front yard and on the street corner. Prospects usually went to one or two places to find out about open houses. Now it feels like a crap shoot. There are many places to advertise your open house, but not one central spot where prospects are going to get the information. That means you need to get creative to get people through the door.
Here are 12 ideas to help you get more eyes on your open houses!
1. Get Local Partners
Networking with local business owners is a great way to support local businesses. It can also give your marketing a boost. Look to partner with local businesses to get more eyes on your upcoming open house. But you can't walk into the business just looking for them to help you. Think about what you can do to help them first. Can you cater their food for your open house? Can you give out coupons to their business at your open house? Think about what you can do to help them get leads and they are more likely to help you. Only then can you ask them to help you promote you. Ask if you can display information about your upcoming open house on their welcome tables or counters. Do they offer a spot for small businesses to advertise their services? Ask if you can take part and offer to do something similar for their business in return.
2. Magnify Your Mailing
Sure you can send out open house postcards, but those usually get tossed in the trash. Another idea is to send out a 5×7 invitation to the open house. Create a template with a photo collage of the house on one side and create a formal invitation to the open house on the other side. Put them in envelopes, stick an address label on them and drop them in the mail. While this is more expensive than mailing a postcard, it is more effective too!
3. Send Emails
Email is still the number one way to reach people. When people receive an email they have to read it or delete it. They have to take an actionable step. Keep a strong email list and tell them when you have a new open house. To make it not feel like a spam email make the open house feel like an event. In the email include anything special you are doing at the open house. Ideas like serving food or having a kids' corner are sure to make the open house stand out. Keep the email personal and write like you are talking one-to-one with your clients. Make the email standout even more by creating a template with photos of the house. Adding a little more to a standard email will help to generate buzz for your open house!
4. Network with Agents
Do you have a group of real estate agents that you talk to both in and out of your office? If not this is something you need to put on your to-do list. Get to know the agents in your area, the agents that are selling as many houses as you are and more. Within your network agree to share information on upcoming open houses. Have one person create a list of open houses for the weekend. Then have that person send an email of the list to everyone in the network. Working together can help everyone get more people through their open houses!
5. Create a Theme
Cinco de Mayo open house? Sports team open house? Think about creating a theme for your open house to create a buzz around it. Create a list of theme ideas and then items you would need to buy for the open house. If you have an ongoing list it makes it easier to prep for your themed open house. When you advertise your open house make sure to add the theme to the marketing piece. Make it feel like a small party and you will create interest that will get people coming through the door!
6. Rearrange the Time
As I write this post, it is 2:00 pm on Saturday afternoon. The reason I write during this time on the weekends is because my toddlers are napping. Prime downtime for any parent and prime stay at home time for any parent. Now think about that with your open house time. Are you holding an open house for a listing that would appeal to families with young children? Then consider changing the time and doing it in the morning or later in the afternoon. Another thought would be to do it on a weekday over the lunch hour instead of the traditional Saturday/Sunday open house. If you advertise it well and put on a nice lunch you can generate good traffic. Plus your seller will be at work and they won't have to worry about making plans to leave their house!
7. Check Out Offices
Take a look at the offices and small businesses near your listing. Make up flyers for the open house and drop them off at the businesses. To draw more attention to the flyers include a small treat or coupons to a local business. Flyers usually get thrown in the trash so adding something of value makes it more likely that people will look at them.
8. Get Signs Out Early
Most open house signs appear the day of the open house. To get more people to see your signs think about putting them out the Friday before the open. Place them in high traffic areas around schools and office buildings. Of course you can't put out a generic open house sign because that wouldn't make sense. Look into having custom signs made where you can switch out the address of the open house. Or create a generic sign that says "Open House in Your Neighborhood This Weekend. To learn more visit my website." The sign is out of the ordinary and people will notice it. It also gives people the opportunity to plan to attend or share it with others that are looking in that area.
9. Be Creative on Social Media
Yes you should post about your open house on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn. Yes you should ask your sellers to share the post on their social media sites. Those ideas are a given so you need to take it one step further. Investigate the Facebook pages that are available for your community and post the open house there. Just make sure you aren't violating the terms of use for that page otherwise people might get irritated by your post. Also take the time to create an ad for the open house on both Facebook and Twitter.
10. Promoted Pins
Promoted pins are coming to Pinterest and there is a wait list! Go over there now and sign up to get on the list. Promoted pins are ads for Pinterest. Prospective home buyers, especially millennials, are active on Pinterest when they are buying a house. Promote your open house where these prospects are looking to decorate their future houses.
11. Kid Friendly
Where I live we have a spice store called Penzeys Spices. I love going in there and smelling all the spices. I love taking my time to do this even when I have a kid or two in tow. How can I like taking a kid to a spice store with glass bottles waiting for children to break them? For one reason: the kids' table. In the back of the store Penzeys has placed an art table for kids. Kids can color while their parents look around the store. Talk about smart marketing! Now I can spend more time in their spice store because my child has entertainment. I don't have to grab one thing and run out the door.
You can do the same at your open houses. Create a kids' corner at your open houses so moms and dads can stroll through the open house. They won't have to get in and out of there fast before the kids start to lose it. The internet is full of coloring book pages that you can print out to take with you. (Don't forget to put your contact info on there somewhere!) You can get inexpensive crayons at the dollar store and keep them in a small box that you can take to each open house. By giving the kids something to do, it gives moms and dads more time to look at the details of the house and spend time talking to you. Plus moms and dads will think you are awesome for thinking of the kids in that way!
12. Giveaway
There is no question that people love free stuff. Offer a giveaway at your open house to get more people through the door. You can offer anything from a $25 gift card to a local resturant all the way to an iPad. The ideas for giveaways are endless. You could partner with agents that have houses for sale in the neighborhood to create an "open house day." Then you could pool your resources to giveaway an extreme prize on this special "open house day." Get creative with your giveaway and market it well!
The goal of marketing your open house is to get as many eyes on the marketing piece as possible. That isn't always as easy to do in this internet age. You have to think outside the box when marketing an open house to make it successful. You can't just stick a sign on the street corner and in the front yard and expect to capture traffic. You have to put your open house out there for the world to see well in advance of the actual event. Plan ahead, get creative and your open house will be a success!
Do you still hold open houses? Do you use creative marketing ideas to get people through the door? I would love to hear about them! Please share your ideas in the comments below. Thanks for commenting!

Ken Bryan's apologists at the St Augustine Record and outgoing commissioner Mark Miner want voters to think that this publication, in league with the St Johns County Republican Executive Committee and the Freemasons, are circulating misinformation about a potentially violent and abusive man who sits on our commission — temporarily as Chairman.
You can watch this video of Ken Bryan's behavior after Cindy Falco handed Bryan's wife a pamphlet copy of the United States Constitution.
You can see for yourself the dramatic video of Commissioner Ken Bryan hollering at a female attending a town hall meeting in the county auditorium, then turning his anger towards a citizen who came to speak against the budget increase Bryan supported.
Bryan calls in Sheriff's Director Art May and Deputy Henry Crafton to remove Falco from the meeting. When Bryan sees that Eric West is approaching to ask him to "calm down" and asks, "are you serious" about having Falco arrested, Bryan screams in West's face "You better not!", twice — threatening him so severely and aggressively that Bryan's wife interjects herself between the two, saying "that's enough".
West attempts to pass Bryan, who is seen blocking the aisle, inviting Bryan, again, to calm down as he leaves the auditorium. When West reaches out to calm Bryan, the commissioner violently strikes West and begins chanting, "Don't you touch me, don't you ever touch me!"
False accusations that editor Michael Gold is a "jealous racist" and communicating to other political candidates to pull their advertising from Historic City News, will not squelch the truth from being told.
If you can honestly watch this incident and say that you condone a county official treating a private citizen so abusively, then you get what you deserve. This has nothing to do with the color of Ken Bryan's skin — it has everything to do with his violent abusive behavior.

Colombia: river boat health care "From the Field" series- ref. AV030
Languages: English / French / Spanish
After nearly half a century of conflict, the villagers living on the banks of the Rio Caguan in southern Colombia are cut off from basic health care. Diseases which should be minor rapidly become life-threatening. In an emergency, people are left to cope as best they can. Known and accepted by both sides in the conflict, the ICRC regularly travels 400 kilometres up this remote river, taking doctors and nurses to the aid of people in extreme need.

The Coppin State men's basketball team's 78-73 win against Oregon State Sunday was significant for the program, which had lost to a Pac-12 opponent in 16 previous meetings. It was even more important for the confidence that victory inspired in the players, coach Fang Mitchell says.
"With where we are right now with a lot of new faces, I do think that was a very meaningful win," Mitchell said Tuesday afternoon. "It made our kids believe that they can go out and win against some of the bigger schools. In the past, that was something that we were always capable of doing, but the kids didn't believe that things like this could be done. So I think it puts us in the right direction where we know we're capable of winning games, especially in the beginning of the year when it's very important to set the tone for what direction we want to go in. I know that this specific team does want to win. So that win was very important."
The Eagles opened the season with an 83-64 loss to California on Friday. But sophomore shooting guard Sterling Smith scored a career-best 21 points, and junior small forward Arnold Fripp chipped in 17 points and nine rebounds to spark the team to the win over the Beavers.
The result did not stun Mitchell.
"No, I'm never surprised because of the fact that I go into every game with the purpose of winning," he said. "The effort that we put in, the things we have to do, that's why we practice ahead of time. We want to be able to understand what the other team is going to try to do to us. But I'm not surprised about that. I'm really happy with the group that I have this year. They've really bonded together, and they like each other. That's a big first step. And they play for each other. Those are things that are going to be important later in the season. Being out here against some of these big schools, it's going to be important to be able to believe that you can win."
In related news, Mitchell said that senior small forward Michael Murray's broken right hand will be re-examined later Tuesday. Doctors will X-ray the hand to make sure that the bones are healing and to determine whether Murray needs to continue to wear a cast.
Even if the doctors give Murray the green light to practice without the cast, Mitchell said he is not expecting the team's leading scorer from last season (12.4 points and 8.9 rebounds per game) to return for at least a couple weeks.
"It's going to take a couple weeks for him to get into shape because it is his shooting hand," Mitchell cautioned. "It's something that is just not going to happen. He's going to have to work at it. He's been working on his left hand, but that isn't his true hand. So it's going to take some time. The way I look at it is he'll at least be back for conference time. It's two different seasons and how they play out here in the nonconference schedule is entirely different from how they're going to play in the MEAC."

Weekly Top 10 K-dramas
Who wins this week? Last week Descendants of the Sun surged to become the top K-drama in our Top 10 list. Will it now overtake Running Man to become the leader of the entire pack?
Congratulations to Running Man, the only reality show that has stayed in this list week after week, and lately it has also refused to give up the crown to the hottest K-drama Descendants of the Sun. On the other hand, DOTS is the #1 K-drama! As we mentioned last week, DOTS is showing on DramaFever on a delayed schedule due to licensing arrangement. If you already know what the ending is, please refrain from posting it in consideration of other viewers. Many thanks!
Imperial Doctress continues to rise and is at #6 now. DramaFever has loaded all 50 episodes, so it's time for a marathon. I know it's not easy to watch an epic, but this historical romance is one that can't be missed, and I'd like to reassure you that the ending will be very satisfying. I've probably watched it a dozen times already. You'll enjoy the splendid ending and feel the emotional tug with Wallace Huo.
I've been praising Daebak, and Jang Geun Suk has been giving his all in impressive scenes. Did you know he was not using a stuntman in the stunning snake scene? And the snake was a real poisonous snake? He then jumped into the mud to be buried up to the neck in the phenomenal mud scene. Check out episode 6, especially if you are the adventurous type. Dae Gil, fighting!
Speaking of survival, the current segment in Monster feels like Amazing Race and Survival combined in the corporate jungle. For a revenge drama, it's a lot of fun watching our cute leading men, Kang Ji Hwan and Park Ki Woong, compete and set up a romantic triangle with Sung Yu Ri.
In other news:
Rain's Please Come Back, Mister reached its touching finale with more revelations and on a high note at #4.

Nick Jonas
The pop singer and actor was raised in church and he was part of the well-known Jonas Brothers band along with his two brothers, Joe and Kevin. Apart from declaring his faith any time he got the chance, Nick had been wearing a purity ring until 2014, which was a real sensation! When asked about his relationship with God, the singer answered: "I've had an incredibly intense journey with faith and religion and my growth. My belief in God is still very strong and important to me as a person, and I think that's all that should matter. The other things around it are not as important to me as my relationship with God."

for those who are blind to the ground below?
Is it true?
That there is a wondrous world beyond
these fluffy condensation filled clouds, that no man has seen before?
There is
What is Summer?
This Foreign concept that has escaped the year
in a cloud of fabric and dust bunnies,
With time being the way it is one could assume that summer was three months?

There have been and are many TV shows about Nurses. I've seen, when the credits roll, the names of "medical advisers". I wonder how many of these advisers are Nurses? As an expert, a Nurse should be the one the Producer consults before any television episode goes live. It just makes sense, doesn't it?

As we prepare for a Nursing career, we have to consider our past. As care givers, we are held to some of the highest standards in order to earn the privilege of being licensed as a Nurse. Many times mistakes and poor choices are made that can blemish our backgrounds making it difficult to enter into a Nursing program, attend clinicals, graduate, and/or become licensed. Can a less than stellar background be overcome?
I've felt like this before. My feet holler, "I give up, just kill me." Nurses walk miles doing their job and taking care of our feet is very important. We must wear good shoes to provide a good foundation for all that walking. I just wonder how many pairs of shoes I've gone through since becoming a Nurse. What about you?

You know how you have that one favorite pen that fits just right in your hand and writes so smoothly? You get very attached to it....and then, much to your dismay it seems to grow legs and disappears. Be prepared by stocking up so you'll always have a backup.

Nurses, There are always a handful of people that stay with you like this! Let's hear your stories!
I'm sure there are hundreds of wonderful stories to share with each other!

Nurses truly work hard every single hour of every single work day. Many times, they skip meals and bathroom breaks. Not good, of course, but let's fact it, it happens all too often. Once they leave the job and finally can come home, it's hard to just let it all go. Down time reflection for many of us reveals that yes ... we worked very hard, but the odd thing is, we enjoyed it especially knowing that WE made a difference in another person's life.

How many TV shows about Nurses have you seen? There have been many in years gone by. I remember watching reruns of one called "Temperature's Rising" that was made back in the 70's. And, of course we've had several more since then. They never seem to actually capture the true essence of the Nurse, however. And, maybe the Producers think that reality TV would be boring? What? I think a reality Nurse TV show would be a HIT! What do you think?

At best, hospitals have four walls and a roof and I seriously doubt that contained within these four walls is a Nurse's Break Room as described here. That would be heaven. But, who would be taking care of the patients? Maybe that's why we will never see anything like this. Come on, dream a little dream with me and tell me what you envision as the perfect Break Room.

Our families sometimes cannot wrap their heads around the fact that we Nurses are mired down in germs at work and live to tell about it. We come in contact with some things that they read about in the newspaper and see on TV everyday and then panic. Is it any wonder that they are paranoid about touching our clothing much less touching us? I think, however, burning my Nursing uniforms is going a little too far. Do you have to educate your family about superbugs?

Summer is here and you have all the free time in the world, right? But, as a Nursing Student, you have forgotten just what that means. Relaxing, getting in 9 holes, lazy afternoons. PANIC! I can't relax!! Do you have the Summer off this year? Are you having a hard time adjusting to "free time"?

What does being a nurse mean to you? This Poem covers a lot of ground, but I am sure you can add more to it Reply with your comments.
Being a Nurse Means
You will never be bored.
You will always be frustrated.
You will be surrounded by challenges.
So much to do and so little time.
You will carry immense responsibility
and very little authority.
You will step into people's lives
and you will make a difference.
Some will bless you.
Some will curse you.
You will see people at their worst -
and at their best.
You will never cease to be amazed
at people's capacity for love, courage, endurance.
You will see life begin - and end.
You will experience resounding triumphs
and devastating failures.
You will cry a lot.
You will laugh a lot.
You will know what it is to be human
and to be humane.
- Melodie Chenevert
What does being a nurse mean to you?
Take a brief survey here : What is your biggest nursing challenge?
We've had several articles and threads recently dealing with many problems and challenges that nurses are facing today. We get so caught up in caring for others that many times we forget about taking care of ourselves. So many issues nurses face on a daily basis can lead to emotional and physical burnout, job dissatisfaction, anxiety, illness, and more, unless we learn how to cope with the stresses that won't go away. Although the root of many of these challenges seem unsurmountable, there are things that can be done for how we react under the stresses many of you are experiencing.
This got me to thinking…...what can we do about this? I know many of you come here to vent about the challenges you are facing. And that is good. But how can allnurses be more supportive to you than just offering a sounding board?
I'd like to know: What is your biggest personal challenge as a nurse or nursing student? What's keeping you from enjoying your job or your preparations to be a nurse? What is taking the joy out of your life?
I'm really curious and I want to know. In order to help, we need to know more about those stresses you are facing at work or in school. So please take a few minutes to answer some questions.
Click here to answer a few questions.
Your feedback by participating in this short survey will be instrumental in helping us as we develop things that we hope will help you with your challenges....before you reach the state of burnout. This is your chance to have an impact on our plans for future developments and offerings through allnurses.
To express our appreciation for you taking time to answer a few questions, we will be having a random drawing of (4) $50 gift cards to those who complete the questionnaire.
I look forward to hearing from you!
After taking the survey, please feel free to share your feedback in this thread. Go ahead and vent. Sometimes talking about it is very therapeutic.

I started out in the nursing home and had those same feelings of just being a pill pusher and not really using my skills. I felt intimidated by all the experience nurses who were so wise and seemed to know everything. As I grew more confident, these feelings lessened. I tried learning everything I could from all the experience nurses, I asked tons of questions, got involved with as many new experiences that I could. Eventually I found my confidence as a new nurse.
It just takes time. Be a sponge, learn as much as you can from those veteran nurses, they are full of gold nuggets! Once they know you are willing and desire to learn, they can be great mentors!
I remember having so much respect for several of the LPNs who had worked for 30 years, they were such amazing nurses and could run circles around most of the RNs. They were experts!
Best of Luck! It'll get better.

The Nurse's job description doesn't include "household maintenance" but how many times have we had to take care of something other than patient healthcare needs? Tightening a loose screw, switching out a soap dispenser, changing a light bulb are a few that come to mind. We wear many different hats in this profession. How about you? What non-Nursing duties have you had to perform?

We've addressed this before when the patient-Nurse boundaries are blurred. But, it is a topic that is always important. Sometimes patients can affect us so strongly that it is difficult to keep a professional distance. Our feelings and emotions can be so difficult to handle especially when the patient reminds us of a loved one. Memories flood back as we see our loved one in them. Our emotions are stirred by their mannerisms, a smile, or even just the touch of their hand. They come into our lives for only a fleeting moment and leave us changed when they depart. Have you found yourself blurring the professional boundary?

Columnist Charles Krauthammer argued "it is obvious to anybody who's over nine years old" that donations to the Clinton Foundation were used to buy influence on Thursday's "Special Report" on the Fox News Channel.
Krauthammer said, "it's hard to know where to start with this. They go unreported, and then you hear the principal who donates the money saying that he really was interested in the charitable objectives of the Clinton Foundation, when it is obvious to anybody who's over nine years old that you take the President of the United States, ex-president, on a plane, you go to Kazakhstan, he praises one of the more infamous dictators in the region, at a time when he needs that kind of validation. A few days later, this small company, which is sort of unknown, a shell company, gets a huge concession and then there's a donation, and then there's a speech that he can pocket."
Krauthammer concluded, "what strikes me about all this is the unbelievable arrogance of the Clintons, who do this in the full expectation [that] they're going to get away with it. They burn the tapes, they eliminate the emails. Yes, you might not have had a direct quid pro quo in the emails, but there might have been hints of things going on, that would support other evidence, and now it has disappeared, it's gone. And you do all this knowing you're walking the line. You know, you may not be able to prove an actual quid pro quo, which is what you would need for a criminal prosecution, but you come really close to that line. But they think in the end they're going to get away with it, this comes out in April of this yea,r and by next year, do you know what they're going to say? 'old news. We have dealt with it.'"
