Chew your meat for you
Pass it back and forth
In a passionate kiss
From my mouth to yours
Sloppy lips to lips
You're my vitamins
I'm like you

At home
Thanks to you guys, the parties have been awesome and very well attended...Unless you think 30 guys at a party isn't enough. Some guys don't!
But most of you do. Thank you for your support.
Five years. 755 parties. Three different spaces.
From the moment I first looked through the window of the Perry Street, West Village space and thought it was big enough to host parties (barely), through the East Village, 'til today, in North Chelsea, I have seen very many things. I never looked ahead to a five-year run, but if I actually had, I don't think I'd have come this far. But like climbing a mountain or running a marathon, I imagine it's better to focus on putting one foot in front of the other, rather than on how massively far away the mark really is.
Each space has certainly had its challenges.
Perry Street was the first space, so I never even knew if I could successfully host one party, let alone 253. It was one so-so sized room, with a very small room (the size of a mattress), in the back. Most of the residents in this walk-up brownstone were very invested in their building, some having spent decades there and were understandably concerned about any new tenants.
One of them, Joan, upon meeting me as I was moving in, said, "Well you look respectable." I believe I am. She was definitely the nosy type, and most certainly walked into the building alongside my guests, on numerous occasions; as far as I know, she never complained to anyone. The same goes for all the other tenants there.
Then there was Ed, the agent for the building, who was nosy because that was his job. I used to refer to him as "Mr. Roper," a nod to the curious landlord on "Three's Company." He didn't notice that I'd been having so many guests coming over, for about the first two or three months. I was still only having one party, per week, at that point. During one party, a couple of guests told me that a guy was standing on the building's inside stairs, suspiciously looking at them as they were being let in to the apartment. They described Ed. Next day, I went looking for him around the neighborhood and, when I did, I told him I was allowed to have a sex life.
He never bothered me again.
And we never bothered him. I'm fairly certain that he, and the owners, didn't want to fuck with the gay community.
Lesson learned.
The second space was on East 7th Street, in the East Village. I don't exactly regret moving there, but it wasn't as good as Perry, and definitely not as good as here.
First of all, it was small. It was meant for two college students to live in two tiny bedrooms. I wanted to try the East Village, and this apartment had an outdoor space, which I was able to cover up for privacy. It was nice for me, my two kitties, and my guests. But the place really was small. The changing area was like a postage stamp. Guys still returned, though, enough to run the parties there for two years.
The residents in that building were college kids. Every one of them. One challenge this posed was that they would throw garbage (mostly lit cigarettes, beer cans, and chewing gum) off their fire escapes and on to my tarp.
Incidentally, that tarp also survived two hurricanes and one massive snow storm.
I also tend to doubt that, had these kids' parents known that there were gay sex parties being held there, often and regularly, they might have...well...resisted a bit. Never a peep. In fact, in those two years, there were three different sets of residents in the apartment directly across the rather narrow hallway.
Then there was Fatty McTatty (A.K.A. "The Sloth"). I wrote about him, at length, 2 ½ years ago, which was more than enough space to dedicate to such a lowlife. He succeeded in getting your parties shut down for a little bit, but we came back even stronger. I still have guys asking me about him, his identity, presumably because they want to make his life difficult.
I'm forever incredulous at how deeply some of you guys feel about me, what I do. I don't have much of a family, anymore, so just knowing I have this kind of support is so awesome.
When I do stop the parties, I may out Miss McTatty on this blog. I've been keeping tabs on him, ever since.
There have been challenges here, too. A few big ones. But, as I do not wish to potentially make them worse, I shall not breath life into them by blogging about them.
But I definitely will, if I definitely must. I've spent a lot of time developing this blog – and my reputation – and the power that it affords me is remarkable. [Even though I've never actually used it.]
Every remotely interested and pertinent institution knows about my parties. Anything less would be a dereliction of their duties.
Remember our marching slogan: "We're here, we're queer, get used to it!" Fact is, gay men have sex, and people have finally gotten used to it.
One of the most prominent aspects of my parties has always been the music. I started with not enough songs to cover the four/five hours of a party. Now, I have five days' worth.
In the beginning, I was concerned mostly with if a song were sexy or not, whether guys might laugh or scoff at a song that may not be sexy. These days, I'll play those songs, but not ones that have a message that might be counter-intuitive to the party atmosphere. One example of that is "We Found Love (in a Place Like This)," by Calvin Harris and Rhianna. It's a good song, but the idea that it demeans the party by saying, "In a place like this," keeps me from playing it. There are a fair amount of songs with messages that aren't exactly appropriate for a fun party vibe, like ones which could be perceived as dealing with AIDS (TLC's "Waterfall," Soft Cell's "Tainted Love," Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust").
I know that hosting orgies doesn't make me an artist, but I do follow the true artist's credo, which is to do what feels most right, and merely hope that enough people get it, whereby I can continue to do it. This is why I play a lot of the music that I do: I like it! Hopefully, my guests do, too.
Having said that, I do play a very large and diverse set of songs. It ranges from Nirvana to Madonna, Stanley Clarke to Amy Winehouse, Velvet Underground to A-Ha. A set of hard rock songs will be followed up by a set of dance or ethereal or mellow; it depends on where the party is flowing. If you're not really digging what's playing, you can rest assured that the type of music will change, and hopefully to one you do like.
I think I get more compliments on the music than I do on the space, the guys, my hosting...which thankfully are all plentiful, too.
Some of the sexiest songs are:
Jimi Hendrix' "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)." This one really captures the powerful feel of fucking. Hendrix' music, in general, is super sexy.
Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir." The "otherworldliness" of great sex.
The Rolling Stones' "Gimme Shelter." The beautiful tension of anonymous sex in a group setting.
U2's version of Cole Porter's "Night and Day." Goosebumps.
Madonna's "Erotica" is a very obvious one, but so very hot.
All of which brings me to a party concept I've had for some time, but have never tried: VÏSCERA, as in a "visceral response" to stimuli. I may only try it, once, but I've got to try it.
This party will be all hard rock. There will be Nirvana (of course), Metallica, Nine Inch Nails, old Rush, Pearl Jam, heavy Rolling Stones and Beatles, anything I've got that'll shake your guts. There must be some softer sets, to be juxtaposed against the really heavy shit, but even those will merely be the mellower songs from these same bands.
I used to do a lot of concept parties in 2009/2010, some getting big turnouts, but I don't know what this one will be like. If this appeals to you (I know I'm not the only one!), please come and have a great time with it.
But if you prefer Lady Gaga to Nine Inch Nails, this may not be your party.
Life is more fun, and rewarding, when chances are taken. Shit, I've been doing it for five years! And without regret.
I'm sending a special Thank You to all the guys who wrote to the adam4adam website. With your help, my party ads have, indeed, been let back on the site. My list has very many great guys from a4a, and now we get to increase that number. A lot.
Thanks, guys. Thanks for realizing that I stand for much more than cheap sex, and for actually getting me.

that getting shat on from a great height by a Herring Gull is lucky so, just 100 yards from home and wiping the 'daisies' from my bright red coat, I started to believe that today was the day for a serious rarity?
Not as sprightly as in days of yore, great care is always taken when crossing the bye-pass to Radipole, but the maniac hurtling around the curve in the road very nearly ended my days - the gesticulations are not repeatable! At the concrete bridge, intending to make a note of Bearded Tit, the end of my Biro flicked from my grip and disappeared into the lake, as you can imagine I spent the rest of the day wandering around with that 'pen-top' feeling? Finally, continuing along side the grassy area close to the Gurkha restaurant, feeling that perhaps I should have left the 'bird muck' in place, I was attacked by c2 Jack Russell terriers. The one that bit into my boot received a sharp kick while it was now difficult to decide whether it was the other dog, or the owner 'yapping' the loudest. Considered 'my own fault' (as a previously innocent passer-by) by the elderly, male owner the first dog ran off across the main road, forcing a motorist into an emergency stop, as he chased after it. Even when I pointed out that the c2 leads slung around his neck might be better deployed around the necks of his 'out of control' animals (which I would have gladly helped him tighten, before buying a third) it was still me responsible for his charge running off. So, as it seemed the bird shit wasn't working I got the bus to Ferrybridge.
However, before all of that it had been noted that Robins were most vocal today, and that the number of Chiffchaffs had also increased in number. Spread across two of the reed-beds there must have been double figures of Bearded Tit, but difficult to be accurate, while once again the Hooded Merganser was too much of a temptation, so here he is again!Up, Up and Away - The 5th Dimension

At the Bridge, apart from about a dozen
'first winter' Herring Gulls the only other bird on the fore-shore was
this single Ringed Plover.
Over on Portland things were similarly quiet and with no intentions of looking at the still present Hoopoe, it obliged by flying across the road right in front of me. No, from here it turned into more of a 'people day' starting with Melvyn Gilham who stopped half way down Sweethill for a chat. I'd barely made the top before 'shipmate' Terry Why stopped similarly, while at Culverwell Mark Hill did the same as he was driving home. At the Portland Bird Observatory there were some of the usual visitors, but the highlight of my day was being introduced, by Ian Lewis, to his step daughter and his 2 Grand-daughters. Well, to enjoy such stimulating conversation, including tales of their extensive travels, from 2 young girls the oldest only 13 was a joy to behold. Thank You all for that!
It is rare I retrace my tracks on the way home, but today crossing Radipole the resident
Carrion Crow with part 'white wings' was seen after a short absence,
my first Celandine's of the year were in bloom while slightly better shots
of Great Crested Grebes passing vegetation
and displaying were taken, albeit through the reeds.
c3 Small Tortoiseshell butterflies appeared whirling through the air together,
only alighting briefly for a couple of poor shots.
This is a little more what they look like.
At the cemetery a Great Spotted Woodpecker was calling, and on investigating I found another photographer usurping 'my patch'.
Unable to resist the urge to poke my nose in, it still isn't quite clear what they were doing

In the aftermath of the tragic crash of the AirAsia jet in December of last year, the aviation industry appears to be struggling to apply the lessons of accidents in similar weather over the past decade. The crash occurred during an equatorial storm. It is too early to say whether the Airbus A320 crashed into the Java Sea due to pilot error, mechanical problems, freak weather or – as most often happens in aviation disasters – a combination of factors. Recent investigative reports seem to point to pilot error in very violent weather. Regardless of the actual causes, the plane's apparently uncontrolled plunge, coming after a series of other fatal crashes blamed at least in part on loss of control, has refocused attention on whether pilot training programs need to improve.
Critics say pilots don't get enough training on how to react when an airliner stalls or loses lift, and that changes in guidance about best practices have been slow. David Learmount, one of the aviation industry's leading safety commentators, had this to say: "The lessons have not been learned to this day. Everyone knows what the problem is, but nobody is doing anything about it."
Though rare, loss of pilot control ranks as the single biggest cause of air travel deaths. Two crashes in particular forced the issue – the 2009 losses of an Air France flight from Rio de Janeiro to Paris, and a Colgan Air turboprop near Buffalo, N.Y. In both crashes, the pilots appeared to be confused and ignored or countermanded warnings of an impending stall. As most will know, a stall is a condition where a plane loses lift because the air flow over its wings is too slow. The Air France jet took four minutes to plunge 38,000 feet into the ocean. Despite repeated stall alarms, the control stick was fatally yanked backwards.
Classic stall training calls for pilots to push the control stick forward, nosing the plane down so it will swoop lower and regain speed, which is effective but uncomfortable. But in the last 30 years, most airlines encouraged their pilots to hold the control stick broadly steady and gun the engines to power their way out of a stall, trying to keep the ride as level as possible. In examining stall crashes from that period, however, that procedure may have led to more accidents than it prevented.
In a rare joint move from 2009, Airbus and Boeing called for a return to robust cockpit procedures that prevailed in earlier days. Pilots now receive regular refresher training. The airlines are trying to work through the disputed cockpit procedures of past decades.
The new voluntary guidelines by the United Nations International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), which coordinates safety, took effect just six weeks before the loss of AirAsia Flight QZ8501, and will take years to be implemented around the globe. New U.S. rules on pilot training do not take effect until 2019. Regulators will require flight simulators to better model stall behavior, changes that will also take years to implement. ICAO also has proposed that pilots refresh their stall training by flying small aerobatic planes.
Changes in training cannot be made overnight because they can create other risks. Even minor adjustments must be thoroughly researched to avoid sowing the seeds of future accidents. It was reported that the industry is wrestling with a steep drop in the time pilots spend manually flying. Pilots now typically steer for only a few minutes at takeoff and landing, and rely on autopilot for the lengthy, boring cruise phase of flight.
When a sudden upset occurs – such as icing or powerful air currents from a storm – even the best pilots can experience a "startle effect" and may struggle to recall manual flying skills for that rare situation. A study by Australia's Griffith University found a person's ability to process information is significantly impaired for 30 seconds after being startled, so being trained to cope with the unexpected is as important as knowing cockpit theory.
Flight simulators pose another challenge. The machines are crucial because pilots get little or no in-flight training for stalls after basic training. But most simulators still cannot accurately model a plane's behavior in a full stall. The Federal Aviation Administration pressed to make them better in a rule-making process that closed this week. Simulator makers want better data about stalls to improve their machines. But plane makers say airliner stalls are so unpredictable that the data would be of little value – a dispute that could also have implications for any potential liabilities. "It's not clear how the simulation data will be collected," said Pat Anderson, director of flight research at Embry-Riddle Aeronautic University, the largest U.S. flight training school.
Around the world, airlines, flight schools and governments vary widely in how swiftly and fully they adopt the changes. Some airlines train in-house and go beyond what's required. Others just meet minimum standards, according to David Greenberg, a consultant and former head of flight operations at Delta Air Lines. He says, "Training is still a patchwork quilt." It will be most interesting to see where all of this goes. Most would agree that pilots of commercial airlines must be more than just "adequately" trained. Their training must be well above that designation.

With most of the big snows staying down south again this winter, we did luck out with a few nice inches of fresh snow this week. The fresh snow is just in time, as starting Friday in Eagle River we have our 46thannual World Championship Snowmobile Derby. We will then have a three-day vintage racing. With the World Championship Snowmobile Derby Jan. 15-18.
This Friday we start racing under the lights, the best night time racing on snowmobiles. They put on a great firework show, also have snow cross and motorcycles that race on the ice. It is a blast! The crew at the Derby do an awesome job getting everything ready for this big event in the north woods.
The Derby is a major boost to our economy in the winter and for the year. We have folks coming from as far away as New York, Maine, Vermont, Oregon and Washington! It is a great time to visit the north woods. We have so much to offer folks in the north woods, it is truly a winter wonderland. You can down hill ski, cross county ski, ice fishing is great this time of year, and snow shoeing too. If outdoors in the winter is not your cup of tea, we have many local stores offering many unique items that you will not find any place else. All so we have many Casinos in the area, and they do a great job at offering great shows, and good food.
The snowmobile trails should be in good condition with the new snow, and our groomers will be working extra hard to keep them safe and for great riding.
The ice condition are perfect! People that I have spoke with are having no problems getting on to the ice. I was out on Friday on our "fishing hole," and all slush was gone. Fishing is still good at night for walleye, and now the pan fish are starting to bite good. Check out one of our many bait stores for the fishing report and what bait is working the best. We still have our new bait laws in effect. Please help us stop the spread of aquatic invasive species (AIS).
I made a big mistake! There is racing under the lights tonight, but not the "big" Friday Night Thunder Show. I misunderstood the racing schedule.
This weekend at the Derby track, starts out with the vintage racing, that I got right. Next weekend will be the start of the Championship racing, with the famous Friday Night Thunder.
I am very upset I made this mistake. I just started this kind of blogging, and I needed to make sure of the facts that I wrote. I take this at a lesson learned.

Lyrics and translations included
This is the twelfth volume of a project called 'Cantatas for the complete liturgical year'. For this series Sigiswald Kuijken chooses one cantata for every Sunday and feast-day of the ecclesiastical year. This disc contains four cantatas, written for the 15th to the 18th Sundays after Trinity. They are performed in a different order on the disc, "for musical reasons", as Kuijken writes in the booklet. He doesn't explain what these musical reasons are. One of them could be that Cantata 47 ends with a stanza of the same hymn which builds the core of the next, BWV 138. In this review I follow the liturgical order, beginning with Cantata 138.
Warum betrübst du dich, mein Herz (BWV 138) is the earliest cantata here and dates from 1723. It was performed only months after Bach started his activities as Thomaskantor in Leipzig. The subject is connected to the gospel reading of the 15th Sunday after Trinity: St Matthew 6, vs 24-34. Here Jesus urges his disciples not to live in fear because of a lack in faith, but rather trust in God's direction of their lives. It is a chorale cantata: three of the original 14 stanzas are used. The opening chorus is rather unusual in that Bach creates a dialogue between the soloists - expressing the toils and tribulations of everyday life - and the stanzas of the hymn. Most recitatives end with a question which is then answered in lines from the hymn. The alto, for instance, sings: "Who, then, will stand by me in my grief?" The hymn then answers: "Your Father and your Lord God, who stands by you in all distress". This thought is then continued in the recitative for tenor: "If he does not help today, then he will nonetheless help me tomorrow". This recitative turns into the next aria without interruption. In this the bass expresses trust in God: "In God lies my confidence, my faith lets him rule".
The same procedure of a dialogue between soli and tutti returns in the opening section of Wer weiß, wie nahe mir mein Ende (BWV 27) which is for the 16th Sunday after Trinity and dates from 1726. The gospel reading of the day (St Luke 7, vs 11-17, about the raising of the young man from Nain) is the reason for general thoughts about life and death. One could consider this as a kind of memento mori. The first line of the hymn which opens the cantata, "Who knows how near is my end?", is answered by the soprano in a recitative: "Dear God alone knows". The tenor of the cantata is expressed in the recitative 'Mein Leben hat kein ander Ziel': "For all is well that ends well". It leads to a positive approach to death, as is expressed in the alto aria: "'Welcome', I will say when death comes to my bed". There are two obbligato instruments: an oboe da caccia and an organ. Kuijken suggests the organ could be a symbol of heavenly music and the oboe da caccia an instrument blown by an angel. In the last aria the bass says farewell to the world: "Good night, you worldly tumult!" The latter is evocatively depicted by the strings. The cantata closes with a wonderful five-part setting of the hymn 'Welt, ade! ich bin dein müde' by Johann Rosenmüller. It is the only time Bach uses material by someone else.
In many opening sections of his cantatas Bach displays his mastery of counterpoint and his ability to connect text and music. A brilliant example is certainly the opening of Wer sich selbst erhöhet, der soll erniedriget werden (BWV 47), for the 17th Sunday after Trinity. It is dominated by the form of the fugue, but Bach also eloquently expresses the content of the text which is a quotation of the last verse of the gospel reading of that Sunday, St Luke 14, vs 1-11: "Whoever exalts himself shall be abased, and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted". The opposition of arrogance and humility are expressed by ascending and descending figures, and through the antiphonal use of the two oboes versus the strings. The soprano aria 'Wer ein wahrer Christ will heißen' expresses this contrast in a different way. The opening motif of the violin in the A section is taken over by the basso continuo in the B section. "'Arrogance' is with which the servant (the bass accompaniment) undertakes the chief rôle!", Sigiswald Kuijken writes. The violin part is quite virtuosic, and was probably orginally written for an obbligato organ. According to the German Bach scholar Alfred Dürr this part was replaced by a violin in a revival of the cantata in the late 1730s.
Herr Christ, der einge Gottessohn (BWV 96) is another chorale cantata, written for the 18th Sunday after Trinity. It follows a more traditional pattern in that only the first and the last stanza of the hymn (Elisabeth Creutziger, 1524) are used unaltered, whereas the three stanzas in between are reworked in the form of recitatives and arias. The title refers to the gospel reading of that Sunday, St Matthew 22, vs 34-46. Here Jesus asks the Pharisees about the Messiah, pointing out that David has called him his Lord, whereas at the same time he is the son of David. The central thought is expressed in the alto recitative: "The great Son of God whom David already in spirit honoured as his Lord". Notable is the fact that the chorale melody is given to the alto, who is supported by a horn and two oboes to make the melody more clearly audible. The instrumental scoring is striking because of the participation of a flauto piccolo, a descant recorder in f" which plays quick figurations during the opening section. This lends it a pastoral character which can be explained by the fact that this chorale has traditionally often been associated with Epiphany, which is reflected by calling Jesus the "morning star". The highlight of this cantata is the tenor aria with transverse flute, 'Ach, ziehe die Seele mit Seilen der Liebe': "Ah, draw my soul with bands of love". The drawing is expressed by a motif of three adjacent notes, symbolising the leading role of Jesus in the life of the faithful. The bass aria 'Bald zur Rechten, bald zur Linken' expresses the inconstancy of human nature, moving to the right (ascending figures) and then to the left (descending figures), and begging for Jesus' guidance.
In reviews of previous discs in this series I have been critical about the performances of the soloists and the ensemble as a whole. On occasion I have found real expressive power wanting and a lack of depth. In general I am much more positive about this volume. The tutti sections are given excellent performances in which the blending of the voices is of great importance, making Bach's polyphonic web as transparent as possible. In the dialogues between soli and tutti in Cantatas 138 and 27 there is a complete coherence between soli and tutti which is one of the positive effects of the one-voice-per-part approach.
The solo parts are generally performed well. In particular Gerlinde Sämann has grown considerably during this project. Her performances have become much more expressive. The soprano aria with violin in Cantata 47 is one of the highlights of this disc, with beautiful playing by Sigiswald Kuijken. Another highlight is the tenor aria from Cantata 96, sung eloquently by Christoph Genz. He is even better in the recitatives in BWV 138 and 27; it seems this form suits him particularly well. Jan Van der Crabben also delivers good performances. It is just a shame that his German pronunciation is correct, but not really idiomatic. Petra Noskaiová sings allright, but I have always had some reservations because I find her interpretations rather bland. That hasn't changed: the alto aria in Cantata 27 is beautifully sung, but without real depth.
The booklet contains a very extended analysis of the cantatas by Sigiswald Kuijken, the reading of which I strongly endorse. I am not that happy with the English translations of the lyrics. In order to understand the connection between text and music a more literal translation would have been preferable. In my translations in this review I have made use of Alfred Dürr's book, The Cantatas of J.S. Bach (Oxford University Press, 2005).
Johan van Veen
This volume in Kuijken's cantata series shows considerable improvement in expression.

RN at Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center- your experience/opinion?
Hi everyone,
I am a new grad nurse and got a job offer from OLOL. I am from out of state and I really need some good opinion on whether I should accept this offer and begin my RN career there. I understand that the new grad job market is very tough now so I feel blessed to have this opportunity. But I really don't know a lot about this hospital (ie. are nurses happy/satisfied, work atmosphere, teamwork, supporting management? these are what I cared the most & I heard the turnover rate is high!).
I am surprised that this offer came so quickly. I applied for the RN resident position about 2 weeks ago, only had a phone interview with the manager + couple nursing staff on the unit (it's kinda unusual that they don't do face to face interview, and I didn't get a chance to see the unit, which I really want to.....). I was told few days later that I got the job. Now, it's time to decide. I really need some advises & if anyone has any input or heard anything about this hospital? I also need some suggestions on Baton Rouge's safe neighborhood, if I do accept the offer, I will need to hunt for housing. Please, any comments would be so appreciated!!! Thank you

I am a new grad from out of state also, I am in my third week orientation. It depends on the unit you are on, and what your expectations are. It's hard work, high pt ratios in my opinion but I am getting great experience and everyone I work with is really nice and helpful. I am a little disappointed in the management and lack of improving the pt ratio situation (6 on tele...it's a lot) I am hopeful that things will improve. Everyone works well together, and will lend a hand if they aren't drowning in their own pt assignment, which most likely they are. I have a strong background and clinical experience, so I think I will be fine- I don't know how long I stick around for how hard they work you and little they pay, once I get a year I might start looking elsewhere. I took my chances as a new grad, I am glad I did. I think if you are prepared to work really hard and take this experience for what it is, and if you are desperate enough for a job (I was), go for it. There is a lot of good and bad about this hospital, and you will find things you don't like where ever you go. As far as safe neighborhoods, I like 10 minutes from the hospital off of Perkins Rd. that area is nice with lots of apts, employees get a discount at Indigo Park Apartments which is also really nice.Jun 6, '13Hi Isabelle49 and plinytheRN
Thank you so much for all the input!!! It's very lucky that I could receive comments directly from nurses who work at OLOL. As a new grad with 0 years of experience, I completely understand the frustration and how difficult it is to land a nursing job. I still can't make a final decision yet because I am waiting to hear back from other hospitals, hopefully I will find out what to do very soon....I really need to get back to the HR.
plinytheRN, I do have a few more questions about OLOL (related to the floor I the got offer) I am new to this site so I can't use the PM system, do you mind giving me your email so we could chat a bit when you have a free moment? my email: firstname.lastname@example.com . It would be very helpful if I could have a bit more insight!! But no pressure if you can't, I know you must be very busy and tired from work. Again, thanks a lot for the info and I wish the best to you .Oct 5, '13Hi! plinytheRN I am also a new grad and I applied for an RN position there. I am from SoCal and I was wondering what the interview process is and what kind of interview questions they will ask. Did you get into the new grad program? and if so how many weeks is the training? Thank you!Dec 12, '13Hey plinytheRN,
I thought about starting a new thread but saw this. I'm a new grad nurse from California and recently got an offer at Our Lady of the Lake in Baton Rouge for a RN Resident position! I'm excited but also really unsure at the same time... I had a similar experience to reenstar regarding the interview process.
Is it possible to email you about their program and your experiences? I think I will be taking it because it would start soon and I don't think I can risk losing an offer; who knows when I'll get another one...
I would really appreciate your insight! Thank you so much!Jan 7, '14I know this post is a bit old. But I'd love to speak with either of you plinytheRN or reenstar. I'm from California and I just got on offer at Our Lady of the Lake yesterday. I am a new grad as well and have applied to tons of places with no interviews or offers. I'd love to talk about your experience at this hospital!!! My email is firstname.lastname@example.com. Please email if you can!Jan 15, '14Hi sorry for the late post, I haven't been on here in awhile
always happy to help some cali new grads!! We need nurses here so bad.Last edit by sirI on May 28, '15 : Reason: per OP requestMar 21, '14Hi everyone. I am a new grad and I just got an offer at OLOL med tele floor or to do their residency program. I am very confused about which track I should go. I would love to hear from anyone who works or have worked their to learn a little more about working conditions there.Apr 11, '14Is anyone in OLOL's critical care residency? Although I just applied and haven't interviewed or anything, I'm just curious about this program and anyone's experience with it. Is the pt ratio the standard 1:2 or 1:1 for ICUs?Apr 10, '15@plinythern Do you still work at OLOLRMC? I have been accepted to nursing school at OLOL college for Fall 2015 and have previous experience working as a ICU nurse aid and US.... I have been looking for part time nurse tech or US positions in the ICU while I am in school and I understand they are hard to come by. I was wondering if you have any pointers?

='Brand New News Fr0m The Timber Industry!!'=
========Latest Profile==========
Energy & Asset Technology, Inc. (EGTY)
Current Price $0.15
Recognize this undiscovered gem which is poised to jump!!
Please read the following Announcement in its Entierty and
Consider the Possibilities�
Watch this One to Trad,e!
Because, EGTY has secured the global rights to market
genetically enhanced fast growing, hard-wood trees!
EGTY trading volume is beginning to surge with landslide Announcement.
The value of this Stoc,k appears poised for growth! This one will not
remain on the ground floor for long.
-Energy and Asset Technology, Inc. (EGTY) owns a global license to market
the genetically enhanced Global Cedar growth trees, with plans to
REVOLUTIONIZE the forest-timber industry.
These newly enhanced Globa| Cedar trees require only 9-12 years of growth
before they can be harvested for lumber, whereas worldwide growth time for
lumber is 30-50 years.
Other than growing at an astonishing rate, the Global Cedar has a number
of other benefits. Its natural elements make it resistant to termites, and
the lack of oils and sap found in the wood make it resistant to forest fire,
ensuring higher returns on investments.
he wood is very lightweight and strong, lighter than Poplar and over twice
as strong as Balsa, which makes it great for construction. It also has
the unique ability to regrow itself from the stump, minimizing the land and
time to replant and develop new root systems.
Based on current resources and agreements, EGTY projects revenues of $140
Million with an approximate profit margin of 40% for each 9-year cycle. With
anticipated growth, EGTY is expected to challenge Deltic Timber Corp. during
its initial 9-year cycle.
Deltic Timber Corp. currently trades at over $38.00 a share with about $153
Million in revenues. As the reputation and demand for the Global Cedar tree
continues to grow around the world EGTY believes additional multi-million
dollar agreements will be forthcoming. The Global Cedar nursery has produced
about 100,000 infant plants and is developing a production growth target of
250,000 infant plants per month.
Energy and Asset Technology is currently in negotiations with land and business
owners in New Zealand, Greece and Malaysia regarding the purchase of their popular
and profitable fast growing infant tree plants. Inquiries from the governments of
Brazil and Ecuador are also being evaluated.
The examples above show the Awesome, Earning Potential of little
known Companies That Explode onto Investor�s Radar Screens.
This s-t0ck will not be a Secret for long. Then You May Feel the Desire to Act Right
Now! And Please Watch This One Trade!!

Sterling Gray Eyess ...
Ahh the perks of a job ayy ! I was given some Fresh Look Colour Blend contact lenses to try a while back from work as part of a event they were having . However me being me i left mine in the opticians and dint pick them up till today , what am i like ! Anyway i choose the colour sterling gray as one of the girls had that and she looked stunning ! I have to say i am very impressed with these contact lenses as they are just sooooo comfy to wear and i also received a bio true contact lens solution and a case that i thought was good after all these were free . Although my contacts are prescription ones for me ( I'm long sighted :( ) and are 30 day , i don't think i would buy these mainly because i use reading glasses and the fact that I'm tight . I deffo would recommend them to anyone who wears contact lenses or prescription ones as they come in such pretty colours and are very comfortable to wear . Il leave you with a few pics xxx
So do you like them ? Have you ever had coloured contacts ? What colour did you have ?

What Im Loving And Super Cute Hair Bows !
Hello everyone hope you are well :) I'm actually quiet tired now its been a long day , but i wanted to show you my hair and the lip balm I've been using . I don't know about you but i like a lip balm that's not greasy. One that doesn't make you look like you've just layered your lips with lard ! Lol so i was really excited when i found this lip balm in boots . Its call Anatomicals and i got the stop cracking up lip balm the packaging is very simple but it has a funny sort of blurb on the back of the packet . The consistency of the balm is like a gloss but not sticky , and you only need the smallest amount of this stuff !Some of the ingredients in it are beeswax , vitamin e , coconut oil and sweet almond oil , perfect for dry sore chapped lips !Ive been using this for about a week and a half and i must say I'm in love my lips are really smooth .
P.s i have been using this morning and night for kissable lips :) xx
On to hair one of the girls in the hair class did my hair in this bow !! Im in love with it so so cute , what do you think ?

Faking It ...Airbrush Abs !
Hi everyone , how are you all ? This is a post that I'm sure you all will love , its something i love anyway ! If you've ever wanted a toned and defined stomach keep reading .....
So today i learnt how to ... AIRBRUSH ABS hehe how excited i was and obviously put myself forward to be the model for my tutor :) I found this extremely fun and we all had a blast . So heres how we did it , first we sprayed the stomach with a bronze golden colour to give a health glow . Then we used a dark brown grease paint to just gently draw the abs . I then blended this out and went in with the airbrush ! I used a silicone based airbase colour for this and the colour was 05 i think but don't quote me on that . With the airbrush i went over the blended lines and shaded and had a foundation brush at the ready for any mistakes and to blend . Finally for a 3d effect i added the white silicone based colour and filled in the abs :) there you have it airbrush abs in a flash , enjoy xx
My kind friend Jona airbrushed me ....
And i did his :)
So what do you think ? Do you like airbrush abs or have you ever done them ?

Hi everyone :) How are you all ? Since i go back to college on wednesday its got me thinking about my next assessment that i have to do .. and its bridal make up ! I have the choice of two looks Asian bridal or English bridal and I'm stuck between the two . I love how elegant and classy English bridal is but on the other hand Asian bridal is soo much more fun .

For my hair decided to do a really soft loose curl with a centre parting . I actually quite like it its a very glowing kinda look , i used the sleek au natural pallet and sleek contour kit for definition i also used lashes from primark . A just because its me i hunted my room for the most bridaly clobber i could get my hands on . So hope you like it :) xx

Views and reviews of over-looked and under-appreciated culture and creativity

Commotio: Organ works of the interwar period
Olivier Messiaen and Maurice Duruflé are represented, as they should be. Also included is Swedish composer Oskar Lindberg's sole Sonata for Organ. Lindberg uses a post-romantic harmonic language similar to Rachmaninov's. That, plus the straightforward arrangement of his material made this work the most traditional sounding one on the album to me.
Carl Nielsen's highly individualistic style runs true to form in Commotio, the title track. It's the most chromatic of the works presented, and seems to hint at the dissolution of tonality that the 1930's would usher in.
Like Hindemith, Austrian composer Hans Gal developed his own version of tonality, which he uses in his Toccata in E minor. While the key is stated, the harmonies move in unexpected directions.
Wilson performs at the restored organ at St. Martin's Church, Dudelange, Luxembourg. In its current incarnation, this 1912 Stahihuth organ is voiced for romantic French, German, and English music -- which makes this instrument well-suited to these works. The recording is clean, with enough ambiance to let the music breathe.

Love Cows Valentine's Card
Posted on 2:43 PM by Frank Lands
This is the Valentine's card I made for my boyfriend last year; I didn't want to share it at the time as he hadn't seen the card and by the time Feb 14th had passed I decided it was too late to post this.
The cow motif is because his last name is Cowe - which will be my name too from June!
I started with a square white card blank which I covered with pink paper that had swirly patterns. I cut out a large heart from another patterned pink paper and stuck that on top. The 'love' stickers all come from one sticker pack and the little hearts from another; the 'to my Valentine' sentiment in the top left is from a sheet of outline stickers, which are red rather than the more common silver or gold.
Finally the layered paper cow is a decoupage sticker which I bought in a little pack from Ebay; I often wonder how people make these sorts of thing to sell!

Happy New Year, everyone!
Thank you all for your continued reading and support. This September, I will have been posting here for TEN years. Here was my first post:
Since then, I have done my best to post regularly. I can only imagine the millions of people who have started (and stopped) blogging since then. This shows the number of posts every year:
I used to obsessively plot out hits from around the world. To date, there have been approximately 3 million page views. I am still missing hits from: Chad, Comoros, North Korea, Sao Tome and Principe, Turkmenistan, Tuvalu, Vatican City, and Western Sahara.
And to the best of my recollection, rchen was the first "regular" to post a comment.
You would expect the top post ever to be Tim's detailed description of his 300SE. But no, it was this post about the Mercedes Renntransporter, which blew up on Yahoo! Japan one day and acquired over 66,000 hits.
Here is a look back at some of my blog's previous layouts, courtesy of the Wayback Machine.

Oddly enough the North Korean user keeps checking Phaetons... Want to be our Goodwill automotive ambassador over there?
I'll send the pics of the recent Phaeton family reunion. You haven't seen this many Phaetons outside of a VW service bay.

Today in the wood shop, two of my lower elementary school students arrived angry with each other and so we spent the first few minutes of class as the children worked through the problem of hurt feelings and raw emotion. Finally, the boy whose feelings were hurt began work on the lathe for the first time. Gradually, his feelings of control as he applied the tool to the wood, began to work on his emotions, too. He looked up from his work and spoke across the room, "I'm sorry." The other boy said, "I'm sorry, too." The sincerity of the moment was palpable. It is truly amazing that when emotions take charge of the body, the engagement of the hands has the power to steer the emotions back into control. It was yet another profound expression of the wisdom of the hands.
Make, fix and create...

Stocks, also called equities, represent shares of ownership in a company. The value goes up and down based on the performance of the company. Here are two ways stocks can generate investment returns for stockholders: 1) price appreciation – selling the stock for more than the purchase price, and 2) dividends – periodic distributions of the company's earnings to stockholders.
When you buy stocks, there is no guarantee that the value will go up. In fact, the value could go down. Historically, over the long term stocks have provided the greatest growth potential of the major asset classes, but also the greatest volatility and risk. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
Choosing what stock to buy is a bit more complicated than throwing darts at a board. Stock analysts use a variety of formulas to help estimate a stock's value. One of the most common measures of a stock's value is the price-to-earnings (p/e) ratio.
Typically, the p/e is determined by dividing the share's price by the company's earnings per share. Earnings per share is calculated by dividing a company's net income by the total number of outstanding shares. For example, a company with $100 million in net income and 10 million outstanding shares would have earnings per share of $10 ($100,000,000/10,000,000). If the stock price is $50, than the p/e ratio is 5 ($50/10).
A high p/e can mean the stock is overvalued (investors are paying more for the stock than it may be fundamentally worth). A low p/e can mean the stock is undervalued (the stock is selling at a bargain price compared to its fundamental worth). But as with most issues involving the stock market, it's not that simple.
The answer is – it depends. The p/e may provide an idea of how much investors are willing to pay for a stock and can be used to compare different companies' performance. However, desirable price-to-earnings ratios will vary depending on the industry and period during which the p/e is measured. Investors may be willing to buy stocks with a high price and low earnings if they feel the stock has long-term growth potential. They may snub stocks with low p/e's if the industry is out of favor or if the company is experiencing temporary problems.
Most individuals do not have the time, expertise or interest to study financial reports and research individual stocks. Your 403(b) plan typically includes stock funds, also called equity funds or mutual funds, managed by professional investors. These funds diversify and invest in dozens or hundreds of different individual stocks.

Good morning, Brewbies! Happy Canada Day, Canada! Happy almost-birthday, America! Happy Friday, everyone! (I maaay have had a couple of coffees already this morning.)
In honor of Canada Day, let's all take a moment to enjoy "Let's Go to the Mall," the only hit from our favorite one-hit Canadian wonder, Robin Sparkles.
"Sandcastles in the Sand" is also on my iPod, if you want to know the truth.
Though she pales in comparison to Robin Sparkles in both style and success, I should also mention that Lady Gaga is on Tumblr now. I should mention it because you guys are blowing up my email with photos from her Tumblr that are confusing me. Amen Fashion is the name of the thing, and here's some of the fashion Gaga is blessing:
Did you know Lady Gaga has more Twitter followers than populations of Sweden, Israel, Greece, Chile, North Korea and Australia? Did you also know the latest installment of "Social Media Revolution" says that people use Twitter/Facebook/Tumblr these days more than they watch porn? Nutso bananas.
The Hollywood Reporter has screened Chely Wright's forthcoming documentary, Wish Me Away, and they've got nothing but good things to say about it.
Go ahead and count me in as one of those people who has to wipe tears away every time I see that Oprah clip.
I never can tell how you guys feel about Gwyneth Paltrow. Is she the captain of the Good Ship Brittana, or is she the most annoying thing about Glee? I've read a billion comments that seem to be split on the issue, but there's just no way that second thing can be true. I mean, you've seen Mr Schue rap, have you not? Anyway, Paltrow is nearly naked in this month's Vanity Fair.
She's posing for jewelry, I think. Or something. Also, Emma Stone, how can you be naturally blonde? Your red hair is a-mazing!
Local NY newspaper, The Tarrytown-Sleepy Hollow Patch, features an effusive review of Ani DiFranco's most recent concert at Tarytown Music Hall. The reporter comments fondly on all the lesbians in the crowd that have been following Ani throughout her career.
The Voice runner-up, Vicci Martinez told Billboard that she's already getting ready to drop her first post-Voice album.
Beverly McClellan was the only one of the top four contestants who wouldn't speculate on an album deal, but we're sure to hear something about it any day now. Maybe she's waiting until The Voice tour to announce it.
And one more piece of The Voice news: Christina Aguilera has signed on as a judge for another season of the show. (So have the other three judges.)
Monday is American Independence Day, so we'll be on vacation. Enjoy your three-day weekend. Trish Bendix will be back with you Tuesday!

affluenza, n. 1. The bloated, sluggish and unfulfilled feeling that results from efforts to keep up with the Joneses.
2. An epidemic of stress, overwork waste and indebtedness caused by the pursuit of the American Dream
3. An unsustainable addiction to economic growth.
When you think about America, it is evident that people are finding themselves more and more unhappy with the lives they are leading because they spend so much of their time and money thinking about money and what they can consume with it. Americans are turning into money and power hungry forces of mass destruction. We are buying things we do not need and will probably not even want in a year. If, perhaps, people focused on humanity, on their actual lives, and not on the things they think control it, they will find they are content with what they have. Even the things we need have turned into things we want. We NEED food, but we WANT to contribute to the fast food chains every morning, afternoon, and evening...which is where obesity enters the picture. Americans consume, consume, consume food, products, devices, and then wonder why they have become fat, broke, and depressed. Although I have grown up in a severely materialistic generation, my viewpoints, the older i have gotten, have become a mirror image of the views of my grandparents generation.
I firmly believe that in order to live a happier life, one must lead a simpler life.
I have been making an effort to be less of an unnecessary consumer. In all honesty, it IS hard to be that way in the world we live in. However, it is all about mindset. When you go shopping, think about what you are buying & where it came from(who made it/what it is made out of, etc) & ask yourself if it really is worth it.
I often wish we could live the way the maasi live. Simple, yet fulfilling lives. Women there dedicate their whole lives to merely being human, caring for their babies, breast-feeding(how it should always be) and living off the Earth. I realize it isn't practical in our society anymore, and not a single person in our country could say that it would be an absolute breeze to live that way.
I walked into the backyard today after school and saw about twenty feet away from me, a two beach-ball sized piles of mushrooms. They were so beautiful! Mushrooms are really such mystical organisms.
Tomorrow, I am embarking on a weekend journey to visit my best friend who i love & miss more than i can say! I am excited for pretty people at the Love Nest & exploring the beauty of Columbia again.
It's an inspiring place.

the route to my imaginary lighthouse
a couple of weeks ago i went to the beach with siba, a side of nahoon we hardly visit. i discovered a nice pathway that leads to the beach that the surfers use to go in and out of the ocean, BUT in my WORLD it looked and felt like a pathway to a lighthouse. that was all that was missing, a giant beautiful lighthouse, the scenery would have been way past perfect. anyway i had to make do with what i had and siba took the most gorgeous pics (as he usually does)
i am wearing: jersey (thrift) | denim shorts (thrift) | boots (mr price) | rings (mr price)
oh and i did my hair a few days before that day. but to date i have had this hair for over two weeks (im so behind on my blogging, sorry y'all) Now that we've gotten that out of the way, lets get back to the post!

The Special Vanity
This darling vanity is special and I can prove it. How you ask? Well because it stamped "special" on the back! Therefore I am calling it "The Special Vanity".
|See? I told you it was special!
|Needs a mirror.
My initial plan was to paint the base and stain the wood top. However, there was an oily substance spilled at one time on the top, and despite my best efforts, I was unable to prep the wood surface so it would be suitable for staining.
AfterI am so pleased with the color scheme and final finish. It has medium distressing to give it a well loved and worn look. I also added just a hint of a crackle effect on small areas on the top. I can just picture the vanity in a farmhouse bedroom such as in Anne of Avonlea's room in Green Gables.
|Can you picture this in a charming farmhouse bedroom?
|The finish is as smooth as glass.
|The drawer handles are painted in Paris Grey for color balance.
|I love the details on the legs.
|Four drawers offer plenty of storage.
|The details to the side and bottom of the drawers is beautiful.
|Close up of drawer handles.
|The mirror pivots.
|Medium distressing around the edges.
|The crackle doesn't show up well in the photo.
It is very subtle and if you click on the photo to enlarge it you can see it better.
|I just love all the curves on this piece!
|Inside of drawers. They're still a little dusty from sanding,
but I will clean them before taking it to the booth.

Remember my post about my wish for my son's healing? Well, it was granted, thank God for that, my son is okay now. He is back to being his normal self again. This time, I got a wish for my daughter, because she really wants a photo taken on Santa's lap. She hasn't had the opportunity to experience this yet, so I let her have a preview on how to sit on Santa's lap through uploading her picture on this cool and unique Cieva digital photo frame. She had fun watching the video we made and even called her Dad to watch it. Our son completed the gang's adventure ha ha ha. We actually sent the video's URL to our family back home for them to watch it.

The bike stunts can be a delight to watch as far as the lovers of motorbikes are concerned. However, best in class ability to maneuver bike is needed by the performers. Millions of money is on stake to be won in the motor bike stunt championships along with high degree of bets to be won too. Bike stunt championship events are generally organized round the clock.
In order to get most out of bike stunt and motorbike championships, fans should aim at booking the tickets well in advance before these are sold out. Millions of fans across the globe can however, catch up with the pumping motorbike adventure on the online channels and YouTube too. The learners can get to benefit from the smarter strategy of the motor bikers on the go in a seamless manner all the time in just about no time at all.
An Insight to Motorbike Stunts
Motorbike stunts can easily delight the viewers in a reality show or in a typical Hollywood movie. However, bikes based stunts can be really intriguing and difficult to perform. Some of the most common motorbike stunts include high speed run and jump, single tire stunts and riding on slippery surfaces or showcasing drift while riding. Best in class racing bikes can provide seamless sights to one and all. However, it is important to keep an eye over the motorbike gear as one tries to deal with the motorbike stunts in a seamless manner all the time on the go. Motorbikes can be loaded with special add-ons such as booster pipes, nitro power and smarter engineering solutions can be poured onto it.
In order to deliver a perfect motorbike stunt it is imperative to practice the stunt over and over again till the delivery is seamless. In order to benefit endlessly from motorbike stunts on the go it is advisable to learn from the online channels and learn to furnish the execution in a finer manner in just about no time at all on the go. There could be endless motorbike stunts that one could showcase on an upcoming event or in a perfect stunt show. One should ensure highest degree of personal safety too with the help of appropriate cushioned gears in a streamlined manner. These are generally made from superior anti shock proof material which can easily withstand the shock in a seamless manner.

The muddy swans
Mildred and her three cygnets came around for a visit, looking for food I'm sure. Later on I saw George with them as well, so all the muddy swans are just fine.
If you click on the picture and look closely, dib and dob were swimming around with one leg stuck out behind their backs. Presumably they are just too cool to use both legs for the trivial task of paddling about behind mum.
The muddy swans usually hang out by the slipway, across the way from Lady Jane. I suppose there are more people there with hand outs for them.
They still sleep on the platform in front of Lady Jane at night as George, who must have been on guard, surprised me with much loud hissing when I got back from the pub the other night.

Two months ago I saw a concert of Steve Reich and Philip Glass at BAM with my friend Mark (the same Mark with whom I saw Steve Reich at Columbia back in May). The concert opened with Reich's Four Organs followed by a bunch of Glass pieces. Perhaps you can tell I was there for the Reich and not so much the Glass. I ran into another band friend, Steve, who felt the opposite (but this was before the concert).
The entire second act was Music For 18 Musicians. During intermission, I asked Mark how long the piece was, and when he told me it was an hour, I ran to the bathroom. Upon my return, in the remaining minutes before the second act began, I worried that I wouldn't be able to sit still through an hour of repetitive minimalist music. I needn't have worried.
It was two months ago, but I'm going to attempt to share with you 18 thoughts about Music For 18 Musicians:
- Sitting up in the balcony was ideal for this piece. The 18 musicians and their instruments (most of which were mallet and keyboard percussion) filled the stage like an orchestra, and watching the movement of the musicians between the instruments was a big part of the experience.
- The 18 musicians don't all play constantly, but at one point when everyone on stage was playing I counted, and I SWEAR there were 19 of them.
- Having heard the piece before, I assumed the voices were at least a little processed (I thought perhaps a pulse was added), but watching their heads bob in front of the microphones you can see the vocalists are beating out constant rhythms like everyone else.
- One of the constants throughout was a pulse on the marimba made by one guy playing on the beat and the other guy doing off-beats. Musicians relieved each other from time to time, but they definitely played for minutes on end. I would never want to be the off-beats guy.
- The vibraphone was centrally situated on the stage, representative of its central role in the piece. While everyone else is beating out quarter note pulses and repeating eighth note patterns (assuming the piece is in 6/4), the vibraphone bides its time, and then plays a series of four or five sustained chords or octaves, whereupon the entire ensemble shifts into a new section of the piece. The vibraphone (played by the same person throughout, as I recall) has all the power.
- There was a female pianist at upper stage right who was all by herself. Everyone else seemed to be close to at least one other musician except her.
- Like any good ensemble, all of the little moving parts combine to create a single machine. The result is a wash of sound that gradually changes, subtlely bringing you along for the ride.
- The ensemble performing the piece was Steve Reich and Musicians, a group that has been performing together for nearly fifty years.
- There was no conductor! The performance was flawless.
Okay, if I try to keep going this list is going to degrade into things like, "The walls were pretty," and "I was really glad I peed first." Nine is good. That's one thing per two musicians. Next time I won't wait two months before writing the review.

Mobileye N.V has announced an agreement with Visteon Corporation whereby the two companies will jointly develop strategies and technologies that will control tomorrow's smart headlamp systems.
Growing use of Mobileye on-board camera systems makes it possible to feed information to Visteon's smart headlamp systems, expanding the possibilities of such systems. One specific application of the combined technologies may include automatically switching between high and low headlight beams.
Additionally, other more advanced lighting control strategies are expected, which allow the driver better viewing with longer-range capabilities.
To date, Mobileye's technology has been launched by BMW 5-Series, 6-Series, 7-Series, Volvo S80, XC70 and V70 models, and Buick Lucerne, Cadillac DTS and STS.

Posted October 25, 2016on:
I am serving my Fulbright assignment in Azerbaijan this Fall.My son, 12 year old, and I have been in Baki since September.
I have met so many scholars who has shared amazing resources with me. My colleague, Nailye Sadikhova, who is the professor of Philology at Azerbaijan State Pedagogical University shared with me her wisdom this morning.
I have learned that Afred Nobel made his fortune in Baku. Today, Nobel price money today originated from Baku Oil.
City is not only rich in oil/gas (neft) but it is rich with culture. I am looking forward to sharing my stories.
Peace, Melda

There is a very good reason for that, which I learned when taking a degree in international relations. "Diplomacy is the art of letting someone else have your way." By playing by the "Male" rules, women allow men to believe that they are still in charge, while instead changing the system from the inside to suit themselves. Sure it takes longer than revolution in the streets, but it works just as well.

Actually, since I've just read bell hooks, this strikes me more along her lines of making 'masculine' to be the ideal, as opposed to equating both 'feminine and masculine' ideals.
But then, that's what happens when you read a bunch of feminist theory. I think I need a break! lol
ps- I'm glad you like the soap idea! I bet there are some people in your area that make soap- I know workshops happen with BirchBark soap in NS... :) If you want, I can send you the recipe in detail :)
