What's for lunch?
We don't serve pork at the English Montessori Preschool.
We have introduced a beef meal once a month and will see how children and parents like it.
Thursdays are the main meat days with chicken and turkey. Beef has been newly introduced once per month.
Fridays we serve fish dishes.
Otherwise we try to have a lot of vegetables and meals with less or no meat. We stay away from monoglutamate as far as we can.
Our meals are mostly designed to be an eating learning experience and yummy at the same time.
Yes, we do serve children's favorites such as schnitzels or fries but we also serve mushrooms, spinach, red beets and other healthy and good meals.

Although HIV testing and highly effective antiretroviral therapy (ART) have improved survival with HIV, the relatively low level of ART adherence presents a significant public health challenge in terms of the potential to transmit HIV. Men who have sex with men (MSM) accounted for 65% of new infections in the U.S in 2011. What is more concerning is that 60% of HIV+ MSM are not adherent to ART. Preventing transmission in virally unsuppressed HIV+ MSM who have unprotected anal intercourse (UAI) with serodiscordant partners can have a great public health impact. The proposed study has the potential to be cost-effective and scalable, which are goals of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy and the 2013 Trans-NIH Plan for reducing new HIV infections. As new HIV infections in MSM have been attributed in part to increased access to sex partners online, it is critical to deliver behavioral interventions to HIV+ MSM online to reach many high-risk men at a relatively low cost, engage HIV+ MSM where they meet sex partners, and enable men to participate privately on a computer, tablet, or Smartphone on their own schedule, as opposed to in a structured clinical setting. The first of our 3 theoretically-grounded HIV prevention videos about UAI, HIV disclosure, and testing in MSM was rigorously evaluated among MSM recruited online. In our single-session online video pilot for 971 MSM, we found significant reductions in UAI in the most recent encounter and significant increases in HIV status disclosure at 3-month follow-up, compared to baseline. In our subsequent online, single-session randomized controlled trial (RCT) for 3,092 MSM, we found significant reductions in UAI among MSM in the video arm at 60-day follow-up, compared to baseline;HIV+ MSM in the video arm reduced UAI, including serodiscordant UAI (SDUAI) at 60-day follow-up, compared to baseline. Based on our RCT findings on HIV+ MSM, we then tested our ability to recruit ethnically diverse HIV+ MSM. Our collaboration with POZ.com (POZ), the largest website for HIV+ individuals, was very successful. Through our prior work, we have identified a potentially highly effective and feasible risk reduction intervention approach for HIV+ MSM. We have also demonstrated success in engaging the target population. With the commitment of POZ and a strong team of experts, we propose to refine our intervention by editing our 3 HIV prevention videos into short doses for 10 online sessions (including boosters);targeting HIV+ MSM who are virally unsuppressed;monitoring self-reported clinical indicators (i.e., viral load);targeting online recruitment by rae and ethnicity to enroll equal numbers of HIV+ White, Black and Hispanic MSM for balanced representation;improving retention with incentives and a proven online platform;including educational information about ART adherence;and cost and cost-effectiveness analyses for potentially averted HIV infections to determine health-related cost savings. Online, we will recruit and follow a national sample of 1,500 high-risk, virally unsuppressed HIV+ MSM for 12 months.
Preventing transmission in virally unsuppressed HIV+ MSM who have unprotected anal intercourse (UAI) with serodiscordant partners can have a great public health impact with the potential to be cost-effective and scalable, both goals of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS) and the 2013 Trans-NIH Plan for reducing new HIV infections. This self-administered, English- and Spanish-language multisession online video-based intervention can be implemented in many online and offline settings at minimal cost.

How adorable is this dress?
Gifts Are Easy Too!
My little ones were both early walkers and love to climb, so they each got a slide for their first birthdays. It's safe indoors or outdoors, but we just kept it inside, so they could play all year round, and I didn't have to worry about them getting to hot or cold. They played and played and played! It's my favorite gift to give for active little ones. 🙂
1st Birthday Tips and Tricks
I learned a LOT between my first and second kids. So here are a couple of quick tips to make the birthday party easy, fun and stress free!
- Don't invite every single person you know. Your friends will be super excited for your family, but your newest one year old is going to have a much better time with just a few people they see frequently, rather than a whole bunch of people they probably don't remember.
- Cupcakes make amazing smash cakes. Your little prince or princess isn't used to sugar, and giving them a giant smash cake is going to not only make a huge mess, but it's going to be way to much sugar for their bodies to digest! Cupcakes are the perfect size and can be extra adorable.
- Stick to your regular schedule. Sure, 1 pm is a great time to have a party and super convenient for all your family members, but if that's when your one year old normally takes their naps, trying to keep them awake and not cranky for a birthday party is going to take more skills than even the best mother posses. If they generally wake up at 3, schedule the party for 3:30. Have a friend or relative hang out at your house while your baby sleeps and you set up the party, and then bring your refreshed kiddo to the party ready to play!
- Don't go crazy. It's SO much fun to spoil your kids but at only one year old, about 15 minutes of gift unwrapping is all they'll be interested in (if you are very, very lucky). And if you are going to a birthday party, put the gift in a bag. Battling tape, paper cuts, and unwieldy boxes isn't nearly as fun as grabbing some tissue paper, pulling it out and seeing what is in the bag!
- Be careful not to blink. Their first birthday turns into first grade in about 10 seconds flat.

The relationship between self-monitoring and use of maintenance strategies in friendships was examined. It was hypothesized that low self-monitors would engage in more idealization, report higher degrees of closeness, and report higher degrees of platonic love in their relationships with their best friends than would high self-monitors. Participants (81 females, 61 males) completed Snyder and Gangestad's (1986) revised Self- Monitoring Scale; Edmond's (1967) Marital Conventionalization Scale; Hendrick's (1988) Relationship Assessment Scale; the Diversity and Strength scales of Berscheid, Snyder, & Omoto's (1989) Relationship Closeness Inventory; Aron, Aron, and Allen's (1998) Desirability, Probability, Desirability of the State, and Intensity Scales; and Sternberg's (1988) Triangular Love Scale. Low self-monitors reported engaging in a wider variety of activities with their best friends than did high self-monitors (p < .05), and low self-monitors reported slightly greater levels of satisfaction in their relationships with their best friends than did high self-monitors (p < .07). Plausible alternative explanations for these findings and suggestions for further research are discussed.

Okay, so in the arcades Rampage was a monster hit, no pun intended. I thought the arcade game was highly original, I could play it for 30 screens before I got bored. I enjoyed the NES and Atari 7800 versions of the game, so I decided I'd give this one a whirl.
I went on eBay and purchased it, waited 2 weeks, got it in the mail, threw it in, and was devastated! At first it showed promise, the characters looked nice in the select screen, and they showed alot of detail, but then the nightmare started.
The sounds of the helicopter absolutely drove me nuts! And don't even get me started on the control, it's very unresponsive, and jumping is a nightmare when pressing up.
The hit detection sucks as well, all I found myself doing is hanging on the side on the building trying to punch pieces out, but all that happened was I kept punching thin air! The graphics also suck, I mean come on a red gorilla? That is so stupid, I mean could they at least make him brown?
Overall this game sucks. Most of the time with games like this I say something along the lines of "only buy this if you see it in a Goodwill bin for a few bucks". Well you know what, the only reason you should buy this is if it's the only Atari 2600 game missing from your library.
This is no doubt the worst Atari 2600 game ever, even worse than E.T.

What about Karate for the Atari 2600? I know, I played it on an emulator, but my point sustains.

The War Against Branding of a Company
Keep employees involved by assembling a suggestion scheme, or regularly taking the opportunity to talk about your brand and the way your company is performing. While a great deal of businesses utilize the term sale, it has the capability to motivate customers. It allows them to engage company in the policy dialogue.
The organization works to make feedback loops to make sure that all messages are understood. A business which is focusing on a single product, may sometimes neglect other. If your business is operating exactly the same way today as it did when it was initially launched, then you're stagnant, which usually means you're losing business. Every very good company ought to be attempting to create a brand and not simply developing a business or a fine item. Nowadays organizations are anticipated to permit the consumers consider the item independently using their own suggestions and innovations. Notwithstanding knowing the requirement of the stated process, many businesses don't fully grasp why and the best way to do this. By searching on the internet an individual can find lots of companies which offer customized vehicle branding support in Essex but not all of these offer quality and superior support.
Most Noticeable Branding of a Company
Branding is equally as essential for smaller businesses because it is for big names. A brand is a sort of promise. A prosperous brand will stay so so long as you and your staff maintain its values in the opinion of your customers. If you prefer to build and keep up a strong brand, you will need to concentrate on what your clients want and the way you can guarantee to deliver it. You need to make something consistent and adds to an organization's brand and if you're working with a business which doesn't have an established brand, you need to make something which works within the views of the organization.
Nation branding is hardly something that the majority of people know of. Inaccurate branding of a new company can make it hard that people grasp why the company exists in the very first spot. Brick Marketing utilizes an ethical, strategic approach to search engine marketing" We have worked with a few other search engine optimization firms and consultants previously, but, undoubtedly, Brick Marketing has been our very best experience. It made the entire process from start to finish extremely easy. Branding of a business, product or services might be more valuable and beneficial.
Most Noticeable Branding of a Company
Do not forget that every potential contact you've got with a customer or potential customer should reinforce your brand values. Probably all you need to know to prevent losing potential clients. You could also realize that customers and employees are going to have already built up a relationship by means of your brand, which may then make it even more problematic to modify.
What to Expect From Branding of a Company?
Don't forget that if you would like to think of a co-branding product which clicks, it has to have the best of both worlds. Branding the item, thus, is a method of identification and recognition on the market. If your products or services can be used in a novel fashion, this could cause increased revenue along with added value for your customers. It is still possible to back your service or product, just refrain from using the word guaranteed.

We will be running walk-in clinics for seasonal flu vaccinations on the following Saturdays from 08.30 - 11am. No appointment necessary.
30th September
7th October

Flu (also known as influenza) is a highly infectious illness caused by the flu virus. It spreads rapidly through small droplets coughed or sneezed into the air by an infected person. For most people, flu is unpleasant but not serious. You will usually recover within a week.
Studies have shown that flu vaccines provide effective protection against the flu, although protection may not be complete and may vary between people. Protection from the vaccine gradually decreases and flu strains change over time. Therefore, new vaccines are made each year and people at risk of flu are encouraged to be vaccinated every year.
The flu vaccination is offered to people in at-risk groups. These people are at greater risk of developing serious complications if they catch flu, such as pregnant women and elderly people.

. . . WARNING! This is going to be a LONG post. . .but with LOTS of picture goodies.
I am FINALLY getting around to posting pictures of my trip to Savannah with Sara. Although this is not a fact to be congratulated as I just bumped it up ahead of Date Day pictures from the beginning of the year and Charleston pictures. I still haven't gotten the rolls of FILM that I took on our date day developed yet. Procrastination, Abra is thy name.
Moving right along. . .it has been a week since Sara and I went to Savannah. It was just as it was supposed to be. Relaxing with no plans. My drive to Macon to meet up with Sara was quite eventful and HOT as hades. It took me about 2 ½ hours to make a 1 ½ hour trip and once I had almost reached my destination I got flashed by a passing motorcycler. Scarred for life, I must say.
The only plan that Sara and I had was to try to eat at Lady & Sons, Paula Dean's restaurant in Savannah. However, you have to make a reservation in person by 9:30 AM at the latest in order to even get a dinner reservation. We got there at about 12ish. Hmmmm. We ended up eating at Panera Bread. Quite a letdown by comparison. After wandering around some shops we decided to do something we had never done before. We took a guided tour bus. Wish we had decided to do this earlier because it would have been awesome to be able to do the hop on and off option to see more of the city.
We ended our tour at the city market where we got a wee bit silly. . .
Normally, this is not the kind of thing I would do, but I have learned to not care as much and, HECK you can't spend your whole life a stick in the mud.
Being that we were in Savannah, I had to get my obligatory bag of Saltwater Taffy. On the tour we had our eyes peeled for the church that we knew had Jehovah's name on it. Once we saw it we got all excited and saw this other family get all excited too. Turns out that they were also Jehovah's Witnesses which we didn't find out for sure until we were getting off of the bus. It's so nice to meet your brothers and sisters anywhere and just talk like you are old friends. Anyway, we had taken note of the streets the church was on and went back to take pictures as you see above.
That night we had all kinds of plans…most of which we did not follow through with. We ended up going to this awesome little Italian restaurant 30 minutes before they closed. {{evil grin}} Then on to our search for a liquor store. HA! I am telling you, 10 o'clock PM is not that late, I don't care what you think. Unfortunately liquor stores do not think the same way as I do and the search for one that was open ensued.
As the picture indicates, we found one. And since this was a "no holds barred" cheating on your eating weekend, I suggested that we must get some Krispy Kreme goodness…conveniently located across the street from the liquor store…except for the fact that we didn't notice this and got about ¾ of a mile away before making a u-turn to get back to it. {{whoops}} I swear we weren't drunk yet.
Sunday was beach day! Highlight of my trip and when I took most of my pictures. So we packed up and were just about ready to go get some seafood before we headed to Tybee Island when "horror of horrors" I could not find my little camera. I was calm at first. . .that is until I had searched through my suitcase…and my purse…and my bed…and Sara's car…and my camera bag…and Sara's purse…and Sara's suitcase…and the ENTIRE room…TWICE!! At this point I was understandably near tears. Then as I went through the hotel room one last time I yanked at the bedspread on Sara's bed (I had already done the same thing to my bed) and THERE IT WAS!!!
A few stops on River Street, one specialty drink, and bellyful of seafood later, we were on our way to Tybee.
I've always envied Sara her freckles. I wanted freckles so bad growing up that I used to draw them on with Mom's eyeliner/eyebrow pencils.
Sara took this shot of my hand as I was stretching laying on our newly acquired beach towels.
I absolutely LOVE this picture of Sara. Surprisingly she likes it too. I took it right after she was laughing at me over something clumsy that I did.
I have become stalkerazzi as of late taking my love of observing people one step further.
Then, !!CHEESY ALERT!! we drove off into the sunset.

Radio Noise from PV System
Re: Radio Noise from PV System
I am disappointed by not surprised that I have RFI noise on amateur radio. I find a "birdie" about every 24 khz on all the amateur bands. I am using an Outback Flex 80. If I shut the breaker off to the four 205 watt 24 volt panels the "birdies" go away other than on 80 meters
I can still barely hear them and if I shut the Flex 80 off then they go away. When the controller goes to "sleep" I of course do not have them.
I have twisted the wires out of the controller going to the battery and I have tried ferrite all to no avail. I did some "sniffing" with my HT on two
meters and I find the lines with about 50-60 volts coming in from the panel are radiating as well as those going to the battery bank. It would
not be real hard to put the wires going to the battery bank in conduit but I wonder if anyone has had success doing this. I would assume you would have to bypass each end of the conduit to ground? It would be a lot more difficult to put the wire coming in from the panels in conduit. I have the first 25 feet buried.
It is coming in over the antenna's as I can use antenna's farther away and the "birdies" are weaker and I can point my beans away and they
get weaker.
Another question? I note that the Xantrex MPPT controller has an FCC Class B rating. Is there anyone here that has this unit and could tune the ham bands and tell me if they have "birdies" They are very loud and are, not problem to hear from the Flex 80.
Ed W0SD
If you are seeing a birdie about every 24 KHz, it is an indication that it is related to a 24 KHz switching frequency in the DC to DC convertor of MPPT or the current regulation of PWM, with a very sharp edge that is generating lots of high harmonics.
Some additional filtering inside the CC would be the best attack, but not really feasible without cooperation from the inverter or CC manufacturer. It is always easier to eliminate/reduce the source of the interference than to try to filter it out later. There is a tradeoff between a fast switching waveform to minimize losses in the switching element and a slower switching waveform to minimize harmonics.SMA SB 3000, old BP panels.0
Re: Radio Noise from PV System
this is interesting as to what this installer is saying, but i think he over thought it or he may have been misinformed. now longer wires will also increase inductance and nobody puts up warnings about not having wires too long due to the fets not switching properly. overcoming the resistive losses is a factor in long wire runs though. the inductance that is added is to affect frequencies far beyond what the desired frequency is (0hz) and the power content of those harmonics are much lower, especially in the rf spectrum range of things, so it will not have an adverse effect to the controller imo. we are NOT talking of very large amounts of inductance in the suppressing emi/rfi.0

Right, and since the goal is to stop harmonics from leaving the box at all, two measures to accomplish this would be:
1. Use a co-axial capacitor (available for filtering automotive alternator noise) on both leads on the DC side, and
2. A combination of a parallel capacitor to ground and a series inductor on AC leads. The inductor should be closest to the wire exiting the case and the capacitor should to from the outside end of the inductor to the neutral (not to the case ground.)
Either of these should not be done except by a qualified electrician. A ferrite (with both hot and neutral or both + and - leads wound in the same direction though the same ferrite toroid if possible) is the only remedy which does not involve making a direct connection to any wires and is therefore DIY-safe.SMA SB 3000, old BP panels.0
Re: Radio Noise from PV System
a cap is one possibility and i agree some may lack the skills to wire up this simple part.
as to adding the inductance, this is quite easy to do for any diy person. they don't have to use the donut types as any of these would suffice too,
also, it is possible to wind a coil out of insulated wire that would also add some inductance and this could be some of the wire already inline going to or from the cc. the thicker the wire the more difficult it may be to wind a tight coil, but larger coils can still add a tad of inductance. there's no law saying you can't run the + and - together in the same ferrite core either, be it a donut or otherwise, and if one can fit more turns of the wires to loop back through the ferrite material then they will gain even more inductance. in the case of just a couple of turns of wire and no ferrite material involved then the inductance produced by this will likely be too small to be effective at radio frequencies.0
Re: Radio Noise from PV System
I had pretty much the same issue with my Rogue MPPT,
I added ferrites to the solar leads, but still no success, I then added
a small, maybe 100 pF Ceramic Cap accross the solar leads and that
pretty much did it.
Lots of trial and error in my opinion.
Re: Radio Noise from PV System
I then added
a small, maybe 100 pF Ceramic Cap accross the solar leads and that
pretty much did it.
Cables usually have capacitance of about 15pF/foot. They're sometimes long. 50ft cable in my system gives me 750 pF.
An that's, of course, not counting 100 mF of the controller's input capacitor0
Re: Radio Noise from PV System
north guy,
the trouble with that wire capacitance is that it takes a long length of wire to achieve that desired capacitance and the capacitance does vary from wire to wire. the inductance and capacitance sets up a resonant point for what is basically now an antenna that is good for radiating the interference. now a capacitor can just change the resonant point and still be an antenna, but it may be in an area making the radiated energy you observed smaller as more is being attenuated. electrolytics do not always function well into the rf ranges so don't count on them for this purpose.0

Which controller model? What end of the solar leads did you put the cap? Solar end or cc end of cable? Are you a ham radio op and if so, did this clean things up for the HF bands? What voltage is your panel array? What voltage is your battery system? I'm starting to think that all of these factors play into the equation.0

Hi SJ,
Normally the first place to put emission reduction components is as close to the source of the emission generator as possible. In the case of an MPPT CC, this would be across the PV input terminals first. Lumped, rather than distributed capacitance if often the best. At times, placing ferrites and perhaps capacitor/s at the output terminals of the CC can help. Running power conductors in well-grounded, TIGHT metal pipe helps a lot.
Believe that for the Classic CC to meet FCC B, the only addition that was required, from the initial design, was the addition a small amount of C at the PV input terminals. But, FCC Class B for devices like CCs applies only to frequencies at/above 30 Mhz. For HF enthusiasts, this leaves all frequencies of interest untested for emissions.
Still, the best single remedy for RFI/EMI seems to be the separation of antennas from the Power Electronics, PV array/s, and unshielded power conductors, in my experience.

Oobi is the title character and protagonist of the Oobi series. He is performed by Tim Lagasse.
Oobi is a curious puppet with an eye for adventure. He explores the world around him in small steps and is always eager to learn something new. Oobi acts as a role model to his younger sister, Uma, who often looks to him for guidance. He has a good-natured demeanor and a keen sense of loyalty to his friends. His favorite color is blue and his favorite toy is a red car.
At the end of every full-length episode, Oobi waves goodbye to the viewers while using his catchphrase: "Oobi, you, friends!" Even when he is not the focus of an episode, Oobi is present at the end to recite this line; for example, "Uma Preschool!" features him greeting Uma at the end simply to say it and wave goodbye to the audience. There are occasionally meta-references within the show about his persistent use of the phrase, including a scene in "Uma Dreams!" that reveals he even says it in his sleep.
A recurring element in the series is Oobi's aspiration to become a piano player. He regularly takes piano lessons from Inka, an elderly woman who is dating Grampu. Being a hand, Oobi must focus all of his energy on the music when he plays the piano; after all, he uses his entire body to touch the keys. He takes great pride in his ability to master simple tunes, but tends to get nervous while performing in front of others.
Being the main character, Oobi was the first puppet created for the show. Series creator Josh Selig said in 2004 that he experimented with many different names while developing the series, but preferred Oobi because the two O's mirror the character's eyes. He wanted "a name that wasn't like any other name" and "didn't want to name Oobi after a real child, since he's kind of his own species."[1] The character was originally named "Pipo" when the show was first pitched to Noggin.[2]
Tim Lagasse was chosen to play Oobi because of his previous work in the field of bare-handed puppetry.[3] Before landing a part on Oobi, Lagasse wrote and directed a series of short films for Nickelodeon titled Show of Hands.[4] These shorts focused on the visual illusions hands can create and did not use them as characters. (YouTube) In an interview with the Newsweek magazine, Josh Selig mentioned that Lagasse had to shave his arm regularly while working on Oobi so that his character would not look like an adult. Tim and the other cast members were paid to visit a manicurist and get their nails touched up every week during production.[1]
Oobi has fair skin and pink fingernails. His eyes are dark brown in the shorts and hazel in the full-length episodes of the show. Four fingers act as Oobi's upper lip while his thumb acts as his lower lip.

The Mid-Century Modern Sales Season
The Mid-Century Modern Sales Season Has Begun for the Season 2016-2017
We have entered our Desert Spring, complete with one day of heavy rain showers that washed all the Summer dust away. So we're facing a clean start to the season! This weather reminds us of why we live here and we won't forget it for at least another eight months.
Our Summer Mid-Century & Modern Activity
At the beginning of summer we sent a postcard to selected desert homeowners with a link to a webpage showing that selling is possible in the summer months. It contained this chart to show that, which is explained in more detail at Click
As proof, we just closed a superb Palm Desert Modern in the Mid-Century Style by Architect Jay Reynolds AIA. It was taken as a summer "pocket listing" and received an offer in September. More about it can be seen here. This was literally a "hot deal".
We also listed two mid-century moderns that are now available. These are just "Great" deals, both in Palm Desert.
This 1967 three bedroom is in South Palm Desert. Details here
And this two bedroom winter home is in Sandpiper next door to the El Paseo shops and restaurants and everything else. See it here
These are ready for the return of the snowbirds and that's happening now!

Dozens of charges files in Alzheimer's center case
I believe this article is timely considering the recent debate on right to refuse and the reactions of those who work in LTC and SNF.
Big brother IS watching so like I said before, if you are doing illegal things you might be next.
Dozens of charges filed in Alzheimer's center case
3:15 p.m. EDT July 2, 2013
Story Highlights
- More than 20 former employees filed criminal charges
- State investigators have revealed alleged cruel treatment of patients
- The charges result from a three-month investigation
COMMERCE, Ga. (AP) More than 20 former employees of a Georgia center for people with Alzheimer's disease face dozens of criminal charges after state investigators uncovered allegations of cruel treatment of patients.
The charges stem from a three-month investigation of Alzheimer's Care of Commerce, a facility about 65 miles northeast of Atlanta, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said in a written statement.
Agents used a search warrant Tuesday morning to search for evidence at the center.
GBI officials say the investigation uncovered accounts of physical abuse, such as staff members striking patients and throwing water on them.
Warrants were issued for the arrests of 21 former and present employees, authorities said. Charges including cruelty to people 65 or older and involve accusations of abuse, neglect and financial exploitation.
"Information obtained through the investigation indicated that patients were restrained with bed sheets and subjected to inhumane and undignified conditions to include 'double diapering,' which is a practice whereby multiple diapers were placed on the patients at once to keep the staff from changing soiled diapers as often," the GBI said in a statement.
GBI agents say they also learned that patients were being cared for by people with prior felony convictions that include voluntary manslaughter and identity theft.
Telephone messages left at the center by The Associated Press Tuesday morning were not immediately returned.
The facility's owner, Donna Wright, was also charged with cruelty to a person 65 Years of age or older; and abuse, neglect, financial exploitation and failure to report under the Protection of Disabled Adults and Elderly Persons statute, authorities said. It wasn't immediately clear whether Wright has an attorney.
Authorities were planning a Tuesday afternoon news conference to discuss the case.

The bottom line is this: if you are not doing anything shady than my comments shouldn't offend you.

I think those of us who have dedicated our lives to the care of these folks become offended when it would appear that someone is SO quick to point the finger and have an automatic assumption that there is something wrong in LTC - even tho they appear to have very little understanding of the system & have obviously never worked in the specialty.

I remember that post...NO ONE had spoke of ANYTHING similar of what the people charged in the article we in charge of.
I even remember your response and patterns of response from the post from YOU OP.
If anything, I am disheartened and highly concerned that you would continue to visit this site and insinuate that people would blatantly mistreat their patients.
Whatever your experiences have been, I am sorry you have experienced them, I am; but you can't tie to your experience and paint a broad brush on LTC and skilled nursing, based on your experience...it is certainly not easing your pain at all, and if anything, you seem to desire to deride nurses here that you do not know from Adam, which is flame-ish.
I wish you peace in figuring out why would you choose to post here, lashing out your pain related to your mother, and find a way to work through your loss.Jul 2, '13If I may refer to another thread:
There is a thread in the CNA section of the student nurse forums wherein a CNA is rather (rightfully) upset because of the abusive treatment they are seeing in an LTC.
This poster mentions hitting and finger twisting.
A number of us have encouraged this CNA to REPORT.
I hope the OP of that thread would see this thread here and find the courage to do what's right.
I'm afraid if this CNA stays at the facility and stays mum, that not only will the abuse continue, but that this CNA will go down with the rest, just by association.
Think this CNA has a good heart and I hope they do the right thing.Jul 3, '13While allnurses is an anonymous site.....and is mostly, I am sure, comprised of those actively involved in healthcare....I think it is important to remember that you have NO IDEA who is posting, you HAVE NO IDEA who you are talking with and whether or not they are telling the truth OR ACTUALLY IN HEALTHCARE.
while I believe that there are those in healthcare that should not be there and should be removed....just as you have bad/corrupt everything, including clergy and government, I have been in healthcare for 34 years and I KNOW that the VAST MAJORITY are good, hardworking, honest people.
This facility needs to be shut down and those involved prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.Jul 3, '13There was a thread posted recently about a person in a dementia unit who used a sheet to keep a patient in a wheelchair. Overwhelmingly, the response was that this is something that should never be done.
Ideally, this says a great deal regarding the responders to threads such as this--we may "get" the frustration level, however, professional and ethical behavior abounds.
On the same token, we have the "left the commode full of urine" and the "don't be a tattletale" debate. Bottom line for me: If it looks wrong, causes the patient emotional distress, or is downright cruel we all have a duty to act on this. There is a huge difference between making mistakes and participating in abusive behaviors to make your work "easier". People need to be made aware of what they are doing may be incorrect and taught a different way. From social media posts to medicating for pain there can be a great deal of ethical dilemma in what we do.
Use a good moral nursing compass. My heart goes out to all of the patients who were affected in this cruelty.

Pharmacists can help reduce Medicaid costs; Urge caution on Medicaid Managed Care
As states grapple with tight budgets, rising Medicaid costs and the anticipated expansion of Medicaid following the Supreme Court's decision to uphold the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, policymakers should consider how community pharmacists can help reduce expenses. In addition, new evidence offers a fresh reminder of the perils of managed care in Medicaid and the need for proper oversight of managed care entities.
Recently, Bloomberg Government released a study of managed-care plans in the nation's five most populous states. It found the plans are delivering substandard care, characterized as "significantly and consistently worse than the national median." It added that lower quality care can lead to higher health spending through more costly medical interventions.
This comes on top of earlier questions about Medicaid managed care. The New York Times has drawn national attention to the diminished pharmacy access of Texas patients after a new managed care plan slashed pharmacy reimbursements by some 80 percent, forcing some pharmacies to close in the Rio Grande Valley. Separately, the state of Connecticut banished private insurance companies from its Medicaid program, citing "a diminishing confidence in the value of what they are providing." In the Sunshine State, an examination by Georgetown University's Health Policy Institute of Florida's managed care pilot program found "no clear evidence that the pilot programs are saving money, and if they are, whether it is through efficiencies or at the expense of needed care."
Alternatively, community pharmacists can help reduce Medicaid costs in a number of ways:
- Drive greater use of low-cost generic drugs. Community pharmacies are already leading the way to maximize the appropriate use of generic medications — the most effective means to lower prescription drug costs without harming patients. Medicaid could save more than $600 million for every 1% increase in generic use. The Massachusetts fee-for-service Medicaid program has the highest generic dispensing rate in the nation, at 79.3 percent. If all other states achieved that rate, the Medicaid program could save $5.14 billion. States may forfeit savings from generic drugs if they rely on mail-order pharmacies owned by pharmacy benefit managers, commonly a part of managed care. PBM-owned mail pharmacies dispense generics 10% less often than local pharmacies, partly because they receive large manufacturer rebates for dispensing brand-name drugs.
- Incorporate medication therapy management. Pharmacists provide one-on-one attention and prescription counseling to Medicaid beneficiaries with often-complicated health conditions and medication regimens. One percent of all beneficiaries account for 25% of expenditures. Expanding the use of low-cost MTM programs can help make a much greater dent in the $290 billion annual cost to the health system of poor medication adherence. Plus, community pharmacies afford patients access to low-cost immunizations and health screenings, in addition to receiving their prescriptions.
A state utilizing or implementing managed care into Medicaid should, at minimum, adopt some common-sense steps:
- Transparency. Properly implementing aggressive transparency measures into contracts will result in savings that stay in the state, not funneled to an out-of-state corporation.
- Patient choice and pharmacy competition. Allow all community pharmacies eligible to participate in federal health plans to participate in a state plan's pharmacy network provided that the plan's costs will be comparable or the same. This also assures that patients have choice and more taxpayer dollars remain in-state at local businesses.
- Ensure fair compensation. While reducing costs, reimbursement must be fair and reflective of all aspects of providing prescriptions to Medicaid patients so that community pharmacies can continue to participate in the program. This should include accounting for Medicaid patients unable to afford their co-pay. In rural communities in particular, an independent pharmacy may be the only one for miles around, and loss of access can be devastating to patients.
Community pharmacists are committed to being part of the solution to reduce Medicaid costs. Managed-care programs will not deliver the promised savings unless proper oversight is conducted and patient access to quality care is maintained.

Pharmacist Nick Dorich joins NACDS, NACDS Foundation staff
ALEXANDRIA, Va. — The National Association of Chain Drug Stores announced on Thursday the hiring of pharmacist Nick Dorich to serve as NACDS' manager of pharmacy care and as the NACDS Foundation's manager of foundation programs.
Dorich's hiring follows his completion of the NACDS Foundation Executive Resident program from 2011 to 2012. He will join NACDS' newly enhanced pharmacy care and patient advocacy department and will report to Alex Adams, NACDS' director of pharmacy programs. Dorich began his new positions on July 2.
"We are pleased that Nick is joining us to further advance the important work of NACDS' pharmacy care and patient advocacy department and the work of the NACDS Foundation," said NACDS president and CEO Steve Anderson. "Nick has been a tremendous contributor to the work of the NACDS Foundation over the last year, proving his dedication and commitment to patient care. As a pharmacist, Nick will bring tremendous knowledge and commitment to both of his new roles."
In his new role with NACDS, Dorich will work to further advance the redefined efforts of the new pharmacy care and patient advocacy department under the leadership of Kathleen Jaeger, NACDS' SVP pharmacy care and patient advocacy. The department seeks to advance pharmacy information and research, conduct outreach with NACDS members and with external constituencies — including colleges and schools of pharmacy — and provide pharmacy insights and expertise that contribute to NACDS' public policy advocacy and communications initiatives.
Specifically, Dorich will provide assistance in the development and execution in efforts to heighten awareness and visibility of the value of pharmacy care. He will also maintain awareness of current pharmacy and healthcare delivery trends and issues, identifying opportunities for collaboration with other healthcare stakeholders.
As manager of foundation programs, Dorich also will manage and execute programs that advance the public health mission of the NACDS Foundation, including charitable giving, education and training programs.
Febreze launches Moms versus Stink contest
CINCINNATI — Febreze has launched a contest for the ultimate sports mom.
Febreze is offering a $20,000 grand prize as a means to send little athletes across the country to sports camp and help fund their athletic experiences. Through July 12, moms can enter the Moms versus Stink contest by simply visiting the Fabreze Facebook page and uploading a photo showing how they are a super sports mom. Once submitted, the top 15 photo finalists will be chosen based on creativity, originality and appropriateness of theme and announced on the Febreze Facebook page. From July 20 until Aug. 1, Facebook fans will have the opportunity to vote on their favorite sports mom within that group of 15, and catapult five lucky moms into the semi-finals. The five semi-finalist moms then will create a video showing how they tackle sports stink with Febreze, everything from spraying down sports uniforms with Fabric Refresher to using Febreze Car during game day. On Sept. 14, fans once again will have the chance to vote for their favorite mom and the title of the ultimate sports mom will be determined by the number of votes each video receives.
The grand-prize winner will be announced on Sept. 24 and will be awarded $20,000 to be used towards admission to their child's sports camp and the title of Ultimate Sports Mom.
"Anyone who grew up playing sports knows how much time, passion and effort moms put into their children's games," Procter & Gamble communications manager Jeff Pierce said. "We want to reward those moms and acknowledge their children's athletic passions through a fun and engaging contest."

A super cool chick. A Carolann always looks super hot, and all the guys will want to bang her. She knows she's fine, and tends to be a make out whore, but it comes with the territory when you're as hot as her. Basicly a Carolann is a sexy beast.

Register Here for our Career Fair,
this Wednesday at 5pm!
Whether it's a cooling or heating problem we have well-trained technicians to do the job right the first time.
Our Comfort Advisors will setup an in-home consultation and design the right system for your home.
Check our special offers page for coupons and rebates that will help you save money on HVAC services.
Columbus HVAC system need prompting to turn on and off, and this prompting is provided
by your thermostat. A thermostat measures the current air temperature
and makes adjustments based on the settings you provide. If you have problems
with your thermostat, it can lead to excessive or insufficient heating
and cooling which increase your utility bills while decreasing your homes comfort.
Thermostat in the Wrong Place
Your thermostat should be located in an area of your home free from sources
of heat or cold, which can affect its readings and prompt too much or
too little heating or cooling. The best place for a thermostat is on an
inside wall well away from any windows, doors, and air registers. If your
thermostat sits near an outside door or window, consider
adding extra weatherstripping to the frames to reduce the amount of outside air that enters your home.
Windows near your thermostat should be kept covered to prevent direct
sunlight from affecting its readings. Close nearby air registers to prevent
blowing heated or cooled air onto your thermostat. You may want to consider
having a professional move your thermostat to a better location, especially
if you experience consistently inefficient heating and cooling.
Uncalibrated Thermostat
Even if it's located in the right area of your home, an uncalibrated
thermostat will not provide an accurate reading and cause your HVAC system
to run too much or too little. You can easily check the calibration using
a second glass or digital thermometer taped to the wall directly beside
your thermostat. Place a cloth or paper tower between the second thermometer
and the wall so they do not touch. After 15 minutes, compare the reading
on your HVAC system's thermostat with the thermometer beside it. If
the readings disagree by a full degree or more, your thermostat isn't
properly calibrated. Carefully take off the casing and clean the interior
of your thermostat. Dust can settle on the thermostat and cause inaccurate
readings. If your thermostat uses a mercury vial to detect temperature,
ensure that this vial is straight and not tilted. To adjust it, loosen
the screws holding your thermostat in place, straighten the unit, then
retighten the screws. After cleaning and straightening your thermostat,
replace the cover and leave for another 15 minutes. If the readings still
disagree, it's time to purchase a new thermostat.
Old or Inefficient Thermostat
Today, digital technology has replaced older mercury-based thermometers
inside HVAC thermostats. Many thermostat models also allow you to set
daily, weekly, or monthly programs for more efficient heating and cooling.
If your thermostat is old or you tend to forget to turn the air off when
leaving your home, a programmable thermostat is a low-cost investment
that will provide convenience and accuracy over an older model. You can
reduce your heating and cooling costs simply by using the air conditioner
or furnace only when you are home. A programmable system will ensure you
can't forget to turn it off when it's not needed.
A little knowledge can go a long way toward lowering your utility bills
and increasing your homes comfort. You can find more information about
how to use your thermostat wisely on our
Learning Center. If you need help from a pro, visit our website to learn about our services

'ADIRONDACK' by John Michael Hersey - raw, hard, observant and thought provoking(May 23, 2014)
They do say that there's nothing like adversity to drive the strength of lyrics. Having spent time becoming familiar with the harder side of fortune, John Michael Hersey surely writes some strong words, with powerful tunes to carry those words. The folk rock and folk ballad songs on his album 'ADIRONDACK' relate a journey through tough times laying down feelings in song. It's raw, hard, observant and thought provoking.
'Walking to the Light' takes you into the man's music, and it's immediately obvious that here's a songwriter that delivers sharp hooks and stark messages. And what's more, here's a voice that matches the thoughts expressed. The achingly observant 'What Do You Think?' is a potent song telling its truth without pulling its punches, while the solid understanding, poignant poetry and gentle melody of 'Difficult Man' make a point well worth the recognition – this is tough love indeed. Built around a touching piano track, Hersey expands his observations with 'The World Came To Town' – reflecting his own feelings through a hard to bear view of 9/11; then throughout the mournful reality of 'Keeping Each Other Company' and the essential truth of 'A Bar Of Gold' he lays down more strong narratives.
'ADIRONDACK' written, performed and produced by Hersey (except for a poem written by Victor T. Runowicz) allows you to hear a man share experiences in a way that make them easy to understand without blunting their hard edge.

'Brave' The Salts - folk music can change its coat and become a different animal(March 27, 2018)
One enduring strength of folk music is its ability to be both malleable and ductile, it can be forged and warped, bent and amalgamated, and yet it retains an essential essence that's hard to disguise. The wealth of artists expounding their own versions of the genre, mixing and blending as they see fit, continue to create a rich folk-vein that thankfully shows no sign of running dry. The latest band to come to our attention are The Salts ... unafraid to blend, develop and move folk forward while still retaining an abiding and healthy respect for tradition. And sometimes along the way taking the tradition to palces it never thought to go. And that's a prime-mover in the music of The Salts and their album 'Brave' ... freedom and fearlessness to invent.
They combine original material with inspired inventions wrapped around traditional songs. The result is dynamic, vibrant and well worth getting to know. The musicians in the band have all been around the 'musical block' more than once, and coming together have created something that not only reflects their collective journeys but a consummate skill set to go with them. The album opens with the energy of 'Bulgine Run', moves through 'Running Down To Cuba', to the intricate and instantly memorable title track 'Brave' ... love that song. Taking the hoary old chestnut 'Drunken Sailor' takes some doing but they manage to give it new life, before they inject similar inventiveness into 'Dead Horse', 'Haul Away For Rosie' and '10,000 Miles'.
'Brave' is an album that proves that in the hands of inspired individuals, folk music can change its coat and become a different animal yet retain the essential life force.

My wife had Spinal Fusion Surgery and needed Rehabilitation. Heartland Health on Mack in Grosse Pointe Woods was on the list so we went there. After about an hour my wife decided she could not take the smell and overall uncleanliness of the place. Most of the people were rude and when she called her Surgeon and he told her to leave. The Staff would not give us back the paper written prescriptions and also kept a 2 inch thick book the Hospital Supplied about all her Do's and Don'ts while healing. It was just pure meanest on "The Woman" in charge to keep our property and told us to go back to the Hospital and get a new one. This is about a $200.00 book on how to start your new life after Spinal Fusion Surgery. Don't risk you or a loved ones life by dealing with such a vindictive small minded person who was given a little power, your life may depend on it. This person was in charge on April 30th after 4:00 PM.

My mother was at Heartland Health Care Center. At the time she was there, she had a sitter because she is a fall risk. The service was great. I even tried to keep her there long-term. The staff was great. They did a great job with activities. The food was OK to me, but she didn't like it. I like the place, but the only thing about it is that I didn't see too many people cleaning.

My mother recently stayed at the facility, the therapy staff were wonderful and the nurses and aides were always friendly. My mother said she enjoyed the food and acactivities there. We would definitely recommend this facility to others.

First of all the rehab staff is very good. Who is management at 4 days in a row management told me that they will have my snack PB&J a pair for me because I don't want to eat me tonight and told me that it will be taken care of by dietary and four nights in a row dietary of dropped the ball dinner is served at 5 p.m. and only thing that you're giving to eat between 5 p.m. and 8 o'clock am the next morning is peanut butter crackers graham crackers animal crackers and juice that's the only options. And all I ask for is 2 four ounce 2% milk an two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. And being in their facility you're at their Mercy.

We were at Heartland for about six days. Some of the nurses were good, and some were not. The doctors were good and attentive, but their orders were often not followed correctly by the nurses. I think they need their nurses or care workers to be better. The OT, PT staff was excellent. My mom fell out of bed on the last day and injured herself pretty badly after we had asked for a better mattress, and it was the very last day before I took her out. She fell at around 5:30 in the morning, and when I got there at 8:30 she had a new mattress. But after you fall out of bed is not the time to respond to the request for a new mattress. It was clean, and there were many things about it that were adequate or better, but overall our experience causes us still to have heart palpitations and to not want to go back. The facilities were more than adequate as far as the showers, the dining was fine, and the food was good. The activities director was very good, and the administration tried to help immediately and in any way that they could. Of course, I went immediately to them when I began to see that her medication was not administered properly and things like that. They really jumped right on it. I established a relationship with the social worker there and the floor manager. They were both very good, but of course they don't have control over their day-to-day health care worker or nursing person; that is a personnel problem.

This was a Horrible Horrible place. my loved one left with wounds on her feet that nobody took care. When the caregivers at the new place took her socks off they stuck to her feet and the ulcer popped and her heals were black... Do not send your loved one here... no care the physical therapists were rude and had no patience for the patients. Terrible Terrible Terrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My initial impression was not positive at all. My husband was transferred on a Thursday evening by ambulance and I did not see him until 8:30 Friday am. This was after a 32 day hospitalization for my husband and we were both emotionally fragile. A large part of my first impression was a culture shock but then I came to realize my husband was one of those patients with a neck like a noodle (chin on his chest) and very low alertness. After 22 days of EXCELLENT therapy (Speech therapy, Occupational therapy and Physical Therapy) he is coming home tomorrow! Good therapy was the critical factor for us and Heartland delivered exceptionally. I also must say that the nurses and CNA's were very caring and responsive. We had a very good experience and, most importantly, an excellent outcome.

I went to Heartland Health Care Center - Georgian East. Their food was better, but I really didn't care to be there. The rooms were cold, they were not homey. There was no carpet on the floor, it was just hard floor. The wall painting was just bland. It didn't give you that comfort of home. Some of the staff was okay. They had social activities there, but I really didn't do much at Heartland because all I wanted to do was go home.
November 20, 2012
I visited this facility
My Gran stayed at Heartland and loved the surroundings. She was a Grosse Pointer to begin with and enjoyed being in the center of the town. There was also a Big Boys and gas station next door for the convenience of the guests and their family. These people seem to value opulence and luxury above all else. I've never seen an nursing home decorated so regally. The employees were for the most part fun and upbeat. They checked in on her more often than not and I felt comfortable trusting them to look after her when I could not. They were prompt in feeding her, changing her, and even came in just to change the temperature for her so she wouldn't be cold. When I asked her what they treated her like behind closed doors she said they were on average just as attentive as when I was there to ensure everything was ok. Gran enjoyed the food, and the Big Boys too! They also have lovely plush sitting areas and plenty of room for visiting family, of which we had plenty. I'd recommend Heartland to any demanding customer in the tri-city area.

Maintaining Our Health in These Times
Traditional medicine such as ancient Chinese, Asian, Indian, Greek, Native American, along with more modern therapies, such as homeopathy and naturopathy, consider health to be a condition of wholeness. A condition in which body, mind, and spirit direct our life in equal proportion so that there is balance and harmony among all aspects of our being. In this state, health and healing flourish because our body is capable of healing itself when it is placed in a balanced condition. The healer merely works to re-align that balance.

"difficulty builds mental muscle, while ease often builds only confidence"*
And then what do we do with that confidence? We act on it. But we haven't built the brain muscle to act appropriately. Self-esteem is good but it seems sometimes we put the cart before the horse when we give people (and ourselves) easy tasks so that they can succeed and feel good about themselves. We've done no one any service when we promote someone who isn't really capable, applaud mediocre work, hand out awards to those who showed up rather than holding them accountable to difficult goals.
Would you expect to be able to run a marathon because you can run around the corner without getting out of breath?
What can we do to encourage others, and ourselves and our children to try the difficult challenges, yes, maybe fail, and applaud the effort while encouraging them/us to try again?
