So I just got a call about scheduling a phone interview for this program. It is on Wednesday! I am very excited/nervous. Can you tell me a little bit about your interview process, I really want this position and any info might help!
Thank you and congrats!Apr 29, '13Quote from nurse_2365Oh, and I am also in California!I will be relocating from CA to Salt Lake for PCMC's nurse residency program in June! Any other new grads out there beginning the same life adventure?Apr 29, '13Hi beach it! What unit is your interview for? These are some tips I can suggest based on my interview:
1) Prepare a tell me about yourself, think about what your future goals are, what your expections are from PCMC, give some thought on what your professors would say about you, and also know why you want to work for that unit and this hospital.
2) Prepare to answer some behavioral questions such as, "Tell me about a time you went above and beyond for a patient or family."
3) Be able to talk about family-centered care such as what it means to you and your experience with it.
Good luck on your interview and let me know how it goes!Apr 29, '13Hi nurse 2365!
Thank you for the prompt response! I applied to both the PICU and NICU, so I am not entirely sure which unit they are considering me for, but I believe it is the NICU! (I hope so anyway). But...I would be so incredibly happy with either.
Did you also have a phone interview first? And if so, what was the follow up process (interviews...did you fly out there to visit etc..?) Since this is so close to the start of the program, I am assuming I am a "second round consideration" applicant...or something like that. If you are not opposed to it I can send you my email and we can talk that way...
Thanks again for your info, extremely helpful!Apr 29, '13I too had a phone interview on a Wednesday and then I waited for 1 week to hear back. I am sure the wait depends on how many more applicants they plan to interview after you. I only had the phone interview and then got the job offer so I have not visited the hospital. I don't mind exchanging emails, what is your email? Also, I would suggest you call and ask what position you are interviewing for and who is interviewing you if you don't know. I asked those questions since I had also applied to more than 1 position.May 22, '13I wanted to introduce myself on here. I will also be relocating from California for the June new grad program in the NICU! I am very excited for this new adventure! I was also curious to know if you all have received your Utah RN license yet. I received my offer last Tuesday, 5/14 and sent in my application and fingerprints the next day, so I don't know that I will have it by the start date. I look forward to working together!May 22, '13Hi!
I also got an offer for the NICU on the same day as you. I sent in my application a few days after because I had to go get my fingerprints done. Are you licensed in CA? I am and I sent in my endorsement form a week before I got the offer. CA BON says that will take 4-6 weeks for that to process. I called UTAH BON today and they said that it generally takes 4-5 weeks for them to process your application....which will definitely not be in time for the start date of 6/3....
Is your start date 6/3 as well?
When I spoke with HR they told me that may push back my start date if the license doesn't come through in time. Did they tell you that too?
I look forward to working with you too!May 23, '13Quote from HeatheredCongrats on the job offer, so exciting! I now have my UT license and it took about 2.5 weeks for it to be posted. What part of CA are you from?I wanted to introduce myself on here. I will also be relocating from California for the June new grad program in the NICU! I am very excited for this new adventure! I was also curious to know if you all have received your Utah RN license yet. I received my offer last Tuesday, 5/14 and sent in my application and fingerprints the next day, so I don't know that I will have it by the start date. I look forward to working together!May 24, '13Hi all!
I spoke with the Utah DOPL today and was told my application was received and would take another 2 weeks most likely. I sent in my CA verification form the same day, so it will definitely be a while. I am also scheduled to start June 3rd and was told they might have to push the start date back. It is nice to know there are others in the same boat! I am curious how this will impact our class schedule and everything. I am from the San Francisco Bay Area, where new grad jobs are few and far between! I'm looking forward to meeting you all and this new adventure!Mar 21, '15Hi everyone! I am currently a junior nursing student but my dream is to get the pediatric ICU new grad residency at primary childrens hospital. I was wondering if you guys knew how competitive it was, have any advice for how to be a good application, know how many people they accept, and what you thought of the program?
I will take any information I can get! Thank youMar 23, '15Traditionally, the PICU at primary children's has rejected new graduates. This year they changed that for the first time in a while.
I work in the newborn ICU a few floors above the PICU.
But I know they typically accept about 5 ish new grads. Things that would make your application stand out would be, any pediatric experience, a capstone in a PICU or Peds unit.
I also recommend reading Intermountain healthcare's mission values. If you get an interview, knowing those will impress management and make you stand out. Because they do ask scenario questions and those values are guidelines.
Good luck

In 2003, the United States Supreme Court affirmed the importance of diversity in legal education when it decided Grutter v. Bollinger.' Underlying the Court's decision was the recognition that a diverse student body benefits the education of all law students, which in turn, impacts society in important ways. While recognition of educational diversity as a compelling state interest allows law schools to consider race in admissions, race-based admissions policies alone cannot address the truly compelling state interest underlying educational diversity: training lawyers to practice in a multicultural society, including effectively representing clients from different racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Law schools must do more than simply attempt to create diverse classrooms. Law schools must implement cross-cultural education to teach law students the skills necessary to understand cultural differences and to effectively communicate with clients and colleagues whose cultural backgrounds differ from their own.

And I just think you ought to have a reason. My girlfriend dumped me, so I'm sad. I got caught smoking, so I'm pissed off. My head hurts, so I'm cranky. She never had a reason, Pudge. I was just so tired of putting up with her drama. And I just let her go. Christ.

Pearls are a gift of nature and Pearl Lake State Park is just that. Just a few miles off the road, it feels like an escape into the backcountry of Colorado.
While day use and the Yurts are open and available, camping at Pearl Lake will be unavailable until Spring of 2010 due to hazard tree mitigation efforts. Please see the Conditions page on the left for more information.
Nestled in the mountains north of Steamboat Springs, this peaceful park sits in a quiet forest setting. Surrounded by mountains and trees, visitors camp along the lake and up a gentle hill.
There?s excellent fly and lure fishing for native cutthroat trout as they flash their red throats when pulled from the water. This is a true escape from the day-to-day routine. A trail takes visitors along the shoreline and leads them deep into the forest. Picnicking is picture perfect amongst the big trees that frame the lake.
Nature of the Area
Pearl Lake Geology
The park is covered by Pleistocene till and Holocene alluvium on the west and north sides. Deposits of till are from terminal glacial moraines, and alluvium consists of bouldery fan, mountain basin gravel and flood plain sand and gravel deposits. South and east of Pearl Lake are exposures of Precambrian felsic gneiss and volcanic amphibolite.
Pearl Lake Plants
Major native plant communities at Pearl Lake are the following:
1. Sagebrush shrubland 2. Lodgepole pine forest 3. Northern subalpine forest 4. Aspen forest 5. Willow carr 6. Marsh 7. Wet meadow
Northern subalpine forest and lodgepole pine forest are the most common vegetation types at Pearl Lake. Northern subalpine forest, comprised of subalpine fir, Englemann?s spruce and Colorado blue spruce, exists more commonly on north-facing slopes. Herbaceous understory species in the lodgepole pine forest include broom huckleberry, geranium, strawberry, arnica and mountain brome.
The aspen forest community is characterized by a rich herbaceous understory of lupine, yarrow, geranium, meadow rue, wheat grass and Thurber fescue. Sagebrush shrublands occur on the northeast side of Pearl Lake. Big sagebrush dominates this community, though rabbitbrush and hoary sagebrush are other common shrubs.
Willow carr, marsh and wet meadow plant communities have become established around the reservoir, in Beaver Creek and in Lester Creek above and below the dam. Willow carr is a wetland shrub community dominated by a variety of willows including wolf, booth, geyer and shining willow.
Marshes are the most common wetland community at Pearl Lake and consist of sedges, rushes,and bulrushes growing in areas of permanent standing water. Small areas of wet meadow possess traits suggestive of periodic wet conditions, such as moist soil and hydrophytic vegetation. Common native species in the wet meadow include tufted hairgrass, elephantella, western bistort, shrubby cinquefoil and scouring rush.
Pearl Lake State Park Wildlife
Visitors may observe mule deer, as well as porcupine, red fox, pine squirrel, beaver or muskrat. Routt National Forest helps to preserve large tracts of contiguous habitat in the region. American marten, long-tailed weasel, tiger salamander, striped chorus frog and western terrestrial garter snake are also present.
Because dramatic late summer drawdowns do not occur at Pearl Lake, the reservoir exhibits characteristics similar to a natural lake with more constant shoreline conditions and water levels for migrating and resident wildlife. The restriction to wakeless boating on Pearl Lake contributes to the quiet and peaceful atmosphere at the park.
Over 200 species of migratory and resident birds are known in the park including northern harrier, osprey, great blue herons, western screech-owl, western bluebird, hairy and downy woodpeckers and red-winged blackbird. Greater sandhill cranes return to nest in the willow carrs and marshes in the spring. The park staff requests that visitors keep their distance when observing the cranes.
The cutthroat trout population at Pearl Lake is designated as Gold Medal. Brook and brown trout and grayling are occasionally reported.

Drinking water is available from hydrants located throughout the campground. Facilities also include vault toilets and one flush toilet located in the lower loop. Pearl Lake campers may use shower, laundry and dump station facilities at nearby Steamboat Lake. Snow conditions generally permit camping at Pearl Lake from late May through mid-October. The park is closed to camping during the winter, but check with neighboring Steamboat Lake State Park. Pets--on a leash and under control--are welcome. Please do not hang items from trees.

See Canberra from the inside
In 2016 local artist Katy Mutton painted our boat MV Gull in distinctive 'dazzle camouflage' as part of Canberra's inaugural Contour 556 public art festival. This special livery is based on the vibrant and fascinating camouflage used on warships of World War 1, to confuse the attacking submarines and make the features of the ship difficult to see.
Jump on board and find out why we have recently been awarded TripAdvisor's certificate of excellence as one of Canberra's premier tourist attractions.
>> View schedules and pricing >>
A memorable experience
Enjoy the tranquility of Lake Burley Griffin aboard our whisper quiet boats. See the sights and hear the inside stories from the skipper as he shares some of Canberra's best kept secrets.
Sail close to the Captain Cook Memorial Water Jet and hear the Carillon (bell tower) as you pass Aspen Island. Watch and learn about the swans, ducks and other flora and fauna around the lake.
Our one-hour scheduled cruises allow you to experience Canberra's premier landmarks from a unique and memorable perspective. But don't take our word for it - come and experience Lake Burley Griffin Cruises for yourself!
The Skipper
The owner and operator of Lake Burley Griffin Cruises is Jim Paterson, who has lived in Canberra (with his wife Virginia) since the early 80s. Jim had a long and successful career in broadcasting and television before turning his attention to the water in 2003. His entertaining and well-researched commentary is one of the highlights of your lake cruise.
The boats
Our boats, Cygnet and Gull, are both all electric — providing a uniquely quiet ride which allows you to take in the sights of Canberra without distraction. The boats run on green energy to provide carbon neutral transportation, a positive contribution to the environment.

The play of the day at the Texas Rangers game against the Toronto Blue Jays Saturday actually happened in the stands.
The video shows a teen catching a ball, then — with a sleight of hand — switches that ball with another he already had and presents it to the young ladies who were sitting behind him.
The game ball stayed tucked away in his glove. Very well played.

Claims that Mexican drug cartels are recruiting U.S. soldiers as hit men to carry out contract killings and run drugs over the border and throughout the country have recently made headlines, but it is an actual "disturbing trend" or just a few isolated cases?
"We have seen examples over the past few years where American servicemen are becoming involved in this type of activity," Fred Burton, vice president for STRATFOR Global Intelligence told Fox news. "It is quite worrisome to have individuals with specialized military training and combat experience being associated with the cartels."
Last month Army PFC Michael Apodaca was given a life sentence in an El Paso court after admitting that he was recruited and paid $5,000 by the Juarex Cartel for the contract killing of Jose Daniel Gonzalez-Galeana, which took place in May of 2009 after it was discovered that Gonzalez-Galeana, a cartel member, was an informant for U.S. Customs.
Army 1st Lt. Kevin Corley pleaded guilty in September to conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire for DEA agents who were posing as Los Zetas Cartel members in December 2011. Corley was also found to have sold stolen U.S. military weapons and equipment to the cartel and apparently told the same undercover agents that he could provide weapons to the cartel as well as military tactical training.
Also involved in that same case, Army Sgt. Samuel Walker was convicted of performing a cartel-ordered hit in November 2012 and was sentenced to 15 years in June.
In addition, the recent murder of Juan Guerrero-Chapa, a former lawyer for the Gulf Cartel, has also raised red flags because of the manner in which it was performed.
"Obviously, the nature of this homicide, the way it was carried out indicates — and I said indicates — an organization that is trained to do this type of activity," Southlake Police Chief Stephen Mylett said. "When you're dealing with individuals that operate on such a professional level, certainly caution forces me to have to lean toward that this is an organized criminal activity act."
Mylett did admit that the murder was a "targeted affair conducted by professional killers," but would not elaborate or provide any additional information.
That case is still under investigation.
So what would cause U.S. soldiers to utilize their skills in such ways? Well, quite frankly, the pay is good — really good. From their military income, Walker brings home around $2,500 per month and Corley about $4,500. Both had agreed to perform the hits for $50,000 each in addition to receiving a supply of cocaine.
Burton said that trained soldiers from the U.S., Mexico and Guatemala are highly sought after — and extremely valuable — to the cartels, who can more readily and easily transport drugs into and throughout the states, as well as carry out hits within the country using U.S. servicemen.
"There has been a persistent gang problem in the military for the past six to eight years," Burton claims. The FBI National Gang Intelligence Center reported that as of April 2011 they had identified at least 53 gang members who have either served in or are some other way affiliated with the U.S. military.
The NGIC has also determined that gang-related activities, such as home invasions, robberies, kidnapping and homicide, has increased along the Southwest border area as a result of U.S. gangs seeking approval of the cartels.
Army Maj. Joe Buccino, spokesman for the Fort Bliss Army Base in El Paso stated that the Army is seeking to address the issue by enacting tighter recruiting standards than even just a few years ago, which includes no longer accepting anyone for enlistment who has a gang-related tattoo.
"A person like Michael Apodaca would not even be allowed to enlist today," Buccino said. "We're more selective than during the height of Iraq."

Easton, PA Area Scholarships
Easton is a city in Northampton County, Pennsylvania, United States. The population was 26,800 as of the 2010 census. It is the county seat of Northampton County.
Along with Allentown and Bethlehem, Easton is one of the primary cities that comprise the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania's third most populous metropolitan area. Easton is the easternmost city of the Lehigh Valley, sitting on the confluence of the Delaware River and the Lehigh River, for which the Lehigh Valley is named. Easton is the smallest of the three Lehigh Valley cities, with approximately one-fourth of the population of the largest Lehigh Valley city, Allentown.
Easton is almost equidistant from Philadelphia, which is 60 miles (97 km) to the south, and New York City, which is 70 miles (110 km) to the east.
The city is split up into four sections: Historic Downtown, which lies directly to the north of the Lehigh River, to the west of the Delaware River, continuing west to Sixth Street; The West Ward, which lies between Sixth and Fifteenth Streets; The South Side, which lies south of the Lehigh River; and College Hill, a neighborhood on the hills to the north which is the home of Lafayette College. The boroughs of Wilson, West Easton, and Glendon are also directly adjacent to the city; the first and largest of which, Wilson, partially aligns in the same North-South Grid as the city of Easton.
The greater Easton area consists of the city, three townships (Forks, Palmer, and Williams), and three boroughs (Glendon, West Easton, and Wilson).
Centre Square, the town square of the city's Downtown neighborhood, is home to the Soldiers' & Sailors' Monument, a memorial for Easton area veterans killed during the American Civil War. The Peace Candle, a candle-like structure, is assembled and disassembled every year atop the Civil War monument for the Christmas season.

If you've made it here then you have just visited the lovely and wonderfully talented Kristin Bakker http://www.kristinb.ca/life-unscripted-blog-circle-volume-3/
Greetings and Salutations! Welcome to my November installment of Life {Unscripted}.
I live in good 'ole Suburbia. Not in a house in the country with rolling hills and magnificent views everywhere you turn. There's lots of concrete and cars...sidewalks, a main street running right through my quiet little apartment community and many, many garden style apartment buildings.
So it can be hard to take a nice picture without some of these lovely elements in my pictures. So instead of trying to avoid them, I thought I'd show you what it would look like if they were in every picture (well most of them).
This is my world.
Thursday is recycle day. We collected these beauties on our walk back from the bus stop!
Sidewalk Shadow.
Meeting friends on a corner.
Not all courtyards in the community have as nice a pathway as this one. So we often go over to this courtyard to play and ride bikes. Mommy likes to use this pathway as a interesting textured background for a photo opportunity.
This is large weird looking tree outside our apartment. The lower area of the red leaves is photo-shopped in...someone's living room was in the picture. Sometimes the neighborhood just needs to be edited out :)
There are so many trees. Tree lined streets and courtyards = lots and lots of leaves in the Fall.
We spend a lot of time in the neighborhood playground - Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall. This playground is never lonely and makes several appearances in my images.
Playground Time: First cold November day 2014.
Playground Time: Indian Summer November 2014 (64 degrees and sunny!)
Playground Time: Early Summer 2014.
This Veteran's Day with my Dad's folded flag. In my mind I saw this before I took it, all with the exception of the playground in the background but sometimes capturing the elements around us just can't be avoided. His expression just would not have been the same had I stopped and asked him to pose with a nicer background...truly {unscripted}.
Waiting for friends at the crosswalk.
Nightfall in my neighborhood.

Your cart is empty.:( Let's fix that!Close
I began my summer reading this year with two new(ish) books about childhood and parenting. Having already read lots excellent and helpful parenting books, and feeling, generally, that my kids are pretty much doing fine for now, I am not always the first in line to pick up each new parenting book that comes along. First of all, there are so many! How could anyone who has small children and many additional responsibilities ever manage to keep up with all of the new titles that come out every year? It's simply not possible, nor does it seem advisable to use all of one's precious reading time on books about child development. We already spend so many hours thinking about our kids, do we really need to spend the few quiet moments we have also reading about them?
And yet, allowing this feeling of parenting information-overload to take over doesn't seem right either. So after a year of plowing through lots of novels and a few memoirs, I decided to kick off my summer reading with a visit to the well-curated shelf of parenting books at my cherished, local independent bookstore. I'm glad I did.
The first book I picked up was Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman's Nurture Shock: New Thinking About Children. This book came out in 2009, and since has garnered so much praise and press that I feel remiss for not having read it months ago.
The central premise of Nurture Shock is that many of the parenting behaviors we practice by "instinct" are, in fact, based on false assumptions and contradicted by the best recent research into child development. Rather than providing lists of how-to's and don't do's with your kids, this books provokes us to think and think again about ten crucial issues. These include how we praise our kids; the effects on kids of insufficient sleep; talking about race; children's lying; early childhood testing; and several other equally pressing topics. What I appreciate the most about Bronson and Merryman's approach is that they introduce us to the researchers, walk us through the studies behind their claims, and so give readers a chance to decide for ourselves how persuasive we find their conclusions.
In some cases, I simply found a lot of scientific explanation for why things that most parents already do work (like listening and responding to the vocalizations of babies) and confirmation of hunches we'd already had (i.e. that didactic prosocial books such as the Berenstein Bears actually promote bad behavior and exaggerate fears rather than allaying them).
In other instances, however, the book really gave me something new to think about. In an excellent chapter on race, the authors argue that parents who avoid talking with their children about race are allowing their kids to fill the void with their own observations, which sadly often lead them to racist conclusions. Placing children in a racially diverse environment is not enough; it also needs to go along with explicit parental messages about equality and friendship between people who look different from one another.
Another worthwhile chapter diffuses some of the tension parents may feel around their children's "social aggression." Newer research is looking not just at young children's relational aggression (i.e. verbal rather than physical), but also at their prosocial (or positive) interactions with their peers. What they find is that many of the children who are the most aggressive are also the ones initiating the most fun and positive social interactions. This certainly puts an interesting spin on parental worries that one's child may have bullying or "mean girl" tendencies.
The book is loaded with comparable insights and twists on received wisdom. And even if you don't end up agreeing with the points made here, spending time with the research and turning it around in your mind is stimulating and absorbing in its own right, especially with such deft writers as Bronson and Merryman as guides.
Alison Gopnik's The Philosophical Baby was the next item of interest I spied on the tightly packed shelf of parenting titles at the bookstore. What a delight, I must say, to read a book that is devoted entirely to babies and young children, yet utters scarcely a sentence about parenting techniques.
Gopnik is a professor of psychology at Berkeley whose dual interests in infant cognition and broad philosophical questions lead her to take seriously a question that every parent asks: "What is it like to be a baby?" Rather than concluding that babies are irrational, limited creatures, she comes to see that "in some ways young children are actually smarter, more imaginative, more caring and even more conscious than adults are."
Harnessing numerous cutting-edge studies of infant behavior, Gopnik reveals that babies use statistical thinking and probability to draw conclusions about the world; she shows how all forms of pretend play, including and especially imaginary friends, reflect the development of young kids' social thinking; and especially interesting, she describes the "lantern consciousness" of babies -- a cast of mind akin to that of an adult traveling in a completely foreign culture for the first time, or to the consciousness sought by practitioners of open-awareness meditation. Gopnik argues that the development of imagination, curiosity and the ability to experiment and to learn is the essential work of childhood. In her words, "this protracted period of immaturity is intimately tied up with the human capacity for change."
For parents, the points Alison Gopnik makes here may seem at once self-evident and also profoundly revealing. We sense in an inchoate way that the time we are spending with these young beings is deeply meaningful, even magical, but can't quite articulate how or why. Gopnik does this for us, with rigorous methods and clear, luminous prose. The book provides scientific and philosophical confirmation of something that many parents and caregivers would say: "our children give point and purpose to our lives."
And while the book is mercifully free of parenting advice, Gopnik does tell us something about the stakes involved in care-giving. She notes that while there is nothing parents can do that will guarantee their kids a happy future, by giving them a childhood full of "leafy playgrounds and picnics and affectionate parents," we can "try to ensure that they will have a happy past." She continues: "There is a kind of immunity about a happy childhood.... As parents, we can at least give our children a happy childhood, a gift that is as certain, unchanging, as rock solid, as any human good."
And for humanity as a whole the stakes are just as high: "It isn't just that without mothering humans would lack nurturance, warmth and emotional security. They would also lack culture, history, morality, science, and literature."
So, all you care-givers out there, the next time you doubt the significance of what you are doing, read or (hopefully) reread this wonderful book.

If there wouldn't be a thing like this, you would not be able to open just a basic windows, like xterm. And you can do this, nowadays black on black instead of herringbone pattern, if you just install basic xorg with it's dependencies. There must be something which manages the size of the desktop, advise to open a window in a specific size on a defined position, or just fullscreen.

Through the generous support of the University of Virginia and the Max Kade Foundation in New York, the Department maintains a German House for undergraduate students. A native German graduate student and a UVa undergraduate oversee the house as resident staff.
The German House has become the University's center for German culture, and is an ideal meeting place for undergraduates, graduates and faculty of the department. It serves as a site for colloquia and discussion groups. Besides bi-weekly screenings of German films, there are annual celebrations of typical German holidays and festivities such as Day of the German Reunion, Oktoberfest and Fasching. Furthermore, the residents organize hiking tours, concerts and poetry readings as well as their daily "Haus Dinners". In addition, they host receptions to current German and European political and social events, so that faculty and students of all disciplines can experience them from a German perspective. For information regarding the German House, contact the departmental Office via phone at (434) 924-3530 or via email at email@example.com.
Come live at the Max Kade German House!
We are part of UVa's language house community and provide an authentic environment for undergraduate students to improve their German language skills. In the German House you will
Basically everyone can live at the German House whose German suffices for everyday life. This means, if you have finished two semesters of college German, the equivalent amount of high school German or if you come from a German-speaking home, you are qualified. You do not necessarily have to study in the German department or be a German major. The German House is looking for motivated students whose German is at least at the basic conversational level. Their German does by no means need to be perfect nor do they need to be German majors or minors. We currently have a mix of students at various levels, ranging from German 2010 to near-native fluency, studying a variety of different subjects.
To apply for the German House, visit Housing at www.virginia.edu/housing. Once you have completed this application, this is where you can submit the essay responses (when you list German House as a preference for next year). The essay reponse can be found here German House Application , this must be filled out and attached with the Housing application. For details on the application process please contact the resident language advisor or the German department. The deadline for applications to the German House is November 15th.
The application consists of a questionnaire which includes a short essay in German (again, we're not looking for perfect writing skills but for creative and motivated individuals) and a short informal interview with the German House RA and language advisor. If you or your students have any questions about applying to live in the German House, please do not hesitate to contact Maxi Wagner (email@example.com).

This refreshing carrot salad is adapted from a classic Thai salad, Som Tum, which is usually made of grated unripened papaya. Som Tum is known for its fiery and tangy flavour. It is often served with roasted peanuts, fresh long green beans and cabbage. This version is a recipe passed down from my grandmother and it's very easy to make and ingredients are readily available. It's a light and healthy salad that goes well as a side for other meat dishes. In case you want to go on a diet, this carrot salad dish is great on its own as it is low in carbs and high in vitamins. Here, I've used coconut palm sugar for its sweetness and richness in flavour, but brown sugar can also be substituted. Palm sugar is high in nutrient content and low in glycemic content so it is a better option for diabetic and health conscious consumers.
3 cloves of garlic
2-3 chili peppers
2 cups grated carrots
2 tbsp. fish sauce
1 tbsp. palm sugar
1 lime
1 tbsp. ground peanuts
1 tbsp. shredded dried shrimp (can be found at asian grocery stores)
To garnish:
grape tomatoes
organic arugula
Using pestle and motar, crush garlic cloves and chilies together. Add grated carrots into the motar and pound the ingredients well with pestle. This process is done to get some of the carrot juice out, and let the flavours seep into the carrots easier. Add lime juice, fish sauce and sugar. Mix well, and keep pounding. If you don't have those, another method is to mince them up finely and toss all the ingredients together in a large bowl. Let the carrots sit for 20 - 30 minutes before serving. Plate once the seasoning are well mixed in. Top the salad with peanuts and dried shrimp and garnish with arugula, grape tomatoes, and cilantro.

Kazakhstan's president says his country is ready to allow the United States use of its air space and military bases in Washington's fight against terrorism. The announcement was the first pledge of firm support to come from a country in the strategically important Central Asian region.
President Nursultan Nazarbayev said on Monday that Kazakhstan is ready to support action against terrorism by all the means at its disposal. And he confirmed that such support could specifically include the use of airfields, military bases and air space.
President Nazarbayev went on to say that so far the United States has not made any specific requests. He said that the American leadership has appealed to many countries in Central Asia for help adding that if such a request were to be made to his government, Kazakhstan will answer positively.
On Sunday, Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke by telephone with Mr. Nazarbayev and the leaders of four other Central Asian countries, in an attempt to build a united policy on how to help Washington.
The Kremlin has given public support to America's right to strike back against those responsible for the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington. But Russia has also made it clear that it does not want the United States launching any military attacks from the Central Asian countries on its southern border.
There has been speculation that Mr. Putin has been trying to convince Central Asian leaders not to allow their countries to be used for that purpose. When asked if the subject came up in his conversation with Mr. Putin, President Nazarbayev said Kazakhstan is a sovereign state and that his government makes its own decisions.
Mr. Nazarbayev also said he hopes a coalition can be established that would work out details of the role each Central Asian nation should play. He said he believes the United States is most likely to request the use of his country's air space.
Kazakhstan's southern border is only about 300 kilometers from Afghanistan and military analysts here believe it could serve as an important staging area for any strikes against Afghanistan.

Smartfish ErgoMotion keyboardAt CES 2010, Tom Merritt looks at the Smartfish ErgoMotion keyboard.
[ Music ] ^M00:00:04 >> Hey, I'm Tom Merritt at CES 2010 taking a look at the ErgoMotion Keyboard from SmartFish. This is an ergonomic keyboard that moves automatically, a pretty interesting insight. The founder, who created this, actually realized that well, it's repetitive stress injury. I need to stop repeating the same motions. Even if it's an ergonomic keyboard, it's always repeating the same motions. So he went to the Hospital of Special Surgery in New York, and worked with them to define what the proper way to deal with that would be and came up with this idea. Once an hour, a subtle movement will happen, so you'll see the keyboard just slightly move. Now, they claim that it doesn't move so much that you lose your place or lose your feeling of where the keys should be, but it moves it enough to change the blood flow and change the position so that you aren't constantly going in the same place, and it's got a subtle ergonomic feel. I'd like to try it out because I hate ergonomic keyboards, and I think this one looks a little less painful than some the others. But again, once an hour, it's gonna move just a little bit and change that position, a really interesting idea. They say that it'll be sold under the Maxell brand within a couple months of January, so looking at March or so, and it should be in all stores by April. It's going to sell for $150.00. Once again, it's the ErgoMotion Keyboard from SmartFish. At CES 2010, I'm Tom Merritt. ^M00:01:31 [ Music ]

Debate With John Steinbach, Part 1
By Greg L | 7 March 2008 | Zapatistas, Illegal Aliens, Prince William County | 14 Comments
This first segment has some interesting tidbits. According to Mexicans Without Borders, there aren't illegal aliens, only people with "paperwork problems". Perhaps best is the statement by Steinbach that "we [Mexicans Without Borders] have never, ever engaged in fear-mongering".
I'm sure the following statement Mexicans Without Borders made to the Prince William County Human Rights Commission isn't fear-mongering:
By denying certain residents of medical assistance puts the entire community at a health risk.
This resolution will also severely increase racial division among the residents of the county by pitting citizens against non-citizens and creating an atmosphere of privilege for the citizen class.
It will divide and destroy families by forcing the separation of citizen children from non-citizen parents and splitting apart families that are comprised of both citizen and non-citizens.
This measure creates an authoritarian, apartheid like county that would require residents to carry and produce citizenship credentials in order to engage in their daily lives.
And I'm sure that telling people at the Prince William Board of County Supervisors meetings that police are going to be stationed at the public libraries to arrest illegal aliens if they try to enter isn't fear-mongering. Or that people would be pulled over by the police and checked for legal status if they looked different. Or that children would be barred from entering public schools. No, when they made those statements, that wasn't fear-mongering.
Nor would this statement from their website constitute fear-mongering:
The effect of this resolution is to instill in the Latino community an atmosphere of terror, desperation, and a feeling of discrimination. It is patently designed to divide the community by promoting xenophobia and hatred. The Woodbridge Workers Committee views this action as discriminatory and racist…
Or this one, from the same page:
This resolution will create an Apartheid-like system reminiscent of the pre-Civil War "Slave Patrols" checking for permits carried by slaves while traveling off the plantation.
No, they've never, ever engaged in fear-mongering. Saying that Prince William County is engaging in "the new apartheid", that immigrants will be hounded by slave patrols, and that the Rule of Law Resolution is an attempt to terrorize innocent people isn't fear-mongering.
Because for these folks, language means what you want it to mean, at the time a certain interpretation is convenient. Here's what I'm talking about:
To be anti-capitalist anti-imperialist in the capital of the most terrorist country of world-wide history and not to question the commitments or challenges, to us would free the critics and outside the play.
To folks who can possibly warp their minds into thinking that this makes any sense, to engage in fear-mongering a critical requirement has to be met: You have to be a capitalist. Only capitalists can engage in fear-mongering. Everyone else is "speaking truth to power".

I just want to be clear on this. It sounds like what I'm hearing from John S. is that he had been working closely with Chief Deane to enable illegal aliens to reside in the County unlawfully. So John S. has implicated Chief Deane in aiding and abetting illegal aliens.
mnd said on 7 Mar 2008 at 10:25 pm:
You know, given what has become of Rhodesia and South Africa, talking about Apartheid probably isn't a good thing to do.
Someone else on another forum made this comment:
"It seems Apartheid wasn't really a race-based policy after all; they were just trying to keep order among savages."
If the claim is that Mexicans are culturally unable to obey the law and we wish to avoid what happened in Rhodesia and South Africa, what is Steinbach's suggested course of action?
Dolph said on 7 Mar 2008 at 11:31 pm:
Part of Chief Deane's objective was to educate the community as to what the resolution and his department would and would not do. He clearly stated that in BOCS meetings and written public communications. I would say he used community groups like MWB and HSM as well as churches, community associations, etc, to do as much outreach as possible.
He is everyone's police chief and must be as courteous and responsive to John S as he would be to you or me.
His position on educating the community can be seen at this site. There are 4 or 5 different references.

Thanks for being our spokesperson. You are to be commended.
Greg L said on 8 Mar 2008 at 12:59 am:
What Steinbach was referring to was the long-term effort by Mexicans Without Borders and Unity In The Community to lobby the chief for less enforcement actions against illegal aliens. In 2005 the PWCPD raided a day laborer site on route one and got about a dozen illegal aliens deported. MWB and UIC launched a lobbying effort with the chief to create the departmental policy that told officers they couldn't ask the about legal status of suspected illegal aliens, which we overturned on the BOCS with the Rule of Law Resolution.
After the resolution passed, they tried this again, but Deane told them his hands were tied and he really couldn't help them. They did get the PWCPD to do some informational sessions with the illegal alien lobby — I'm not sure whether it was at Deane's request or the request of MWB, but after the hysteria angle sort of backfired they then went back and tried to do some real public education on the Rule of Law Resolution. By then it was a little too late, as the initial stories about how the police were going to become the gestapo somehow had already run through the illegal alien population like wildfire. With the horses out of the barn already, it was too late to undo the damage.
Even today there are people who believe that the Rule of Law Resolution makes it unlawful to speak spanish in Prince William County, and that they'll be arrested and deported if they do. Others think that the Mercado Latino will get raided, and the customers will be hauled away in a paddy wagon. Just look at what illegal aliens say when they're interviewed by the Washington Post — they say the craziest things, and they got them from the illegal alien lobby because in too many cases they couldn't understand the initial news coverage.
Bad rumors that appear plausible to whoever hears them are absolutely viral, especially if they're the first information you get.
Remember when Dexter Fox and his crew were speaking against 287(g) in Manassas in December 2006? That "blood in the streets" doom-and-gloom kind of rhetoric is precisely what got fed to Mexicans Without Borders, and they ran with it in order to get their base energized. It energized them so well, they packed up and ran away.
It's convenient when the opposition does something so utterly self-destructive. If they hadn't done this and driven so many illegal aliens out before anything really changed on the ground, we probably would have had to work a lot harder to get to the point we're at now.
Dave in PWC said on 8 Mar 2008 at 9:40 am:
Great job Greg. I thought you echoed our thoughts and ideas very well and remained calm and poised throughout the entire segment. I would have interrupted the gentleman from MWB many times when he spouted his tired old rhetoric, you didn't and I commend you for that.
NoVA mom said on 8 Mar 2008 at 9:59 am:
I find it ironic that John S. states that it is "the law of the land" that education and health care is to be provided despite a person's illegal status - but refuses to acknowledge "the law of the land" in regards to immigration laws. I have had enough of this garbage. I wish some state would have the guts to challenge that old law that states we need to provide an education to illegals.

This man should be arrested for treason and tossed into Guantanamo. He's lucky I am not the law or he'd be getting worse than that. Guantanamo is too good for what he truly deserves.
Krutis said on 8 Mar 2008 at 11:24 am:
Everybody should feel lucky that park'd is not the law!
silverfox said on 8 Mar 2008 at 11:28 am:
This man, John Steinbach, should be removed from his teaching position. This blog is frequently read by school board members and it should be their initiative to bring this before the administration and begin some investigation. Responsible governing is what we are asking for as a community. If it is REALLY about the children, let's see some proof Manassas City School Board!
Greg L said on 8 Mar 2008 at 11:45 am:
As much as we may disagree with Mr. Steinbach, it would be inappropriate to call for his removal absent any indication that his views are negatively impacting his performance as a substitute teacher. Requiring a certain set of political views in order to have a job in the public sector is what the other side is notorious for, and we really shouldn't engage in the same tactic.
If there was evidence that he was departing from the curriculum in order to present political views to students, then a legitimate complaint could be lodged. So far there's no evidence at all this has happened. If parents were concerned by what their child heard or saw in class, then there's reason to complain, but so far I haven't heard anyone express such concerns. Just because this guy spouts off stuff we strongly disagree with doesn't necessarily mean that he should be disqualified from the position he holds.
There are others in the PWC school system (Steinbach teaches in Manassas) who are far more legitimate targets of your concern, particularly in the multi-cultural education and ESOL departments. I've seen tax dollars used on inappropriate materials, use of public resources to support ideologically-driven agendas, and public funds used to present seminars that are wasteful and counterproductive to the mission of the school system. The PWC schools website has had links to materials that are utterly inappropriate for our school system.
It is important to focus on behavior, rather than belief. Collect evidence regarding how public employees behave and make a complaint, and you'll be taken seriously. Make a complaint because you don't like what a public employee does during non-work hours (as long as it doesn't violate the law or the teacher's contract), and you look pretty silly, at best.
Anonymous said on 8 Mar 2008 at 12:07 pm:
If Deane and his staff are being unjustly characterized by Mexicans Without Borders as aiding and abetting illegal aliens in violation of their mandate from the BOS, perhaps the COP should be made aware of this. He might not take so kindly to the illegal population of our county and be far more energized in doing his job.
AWCheney said on 8 Mar 2008 at 1:38 pm:
I just realized that my last comment (12:07) came up "Anonymous" because I was using my husband's computer (mine's in the shop). That was me.
Bl said on 8 Mar 2008 at 2:28 pm:
Overpopulation, congestion, urban sprawl, pollution, crime, diminishing resources, lack of affordable housing, depressed wages, underground economic, fraudulent documents, identity thief, tax invasion, soaring crime rate, increased tax burdens, overcrowded schools leading to uneducated children, overcrowded prisons, inadequate health care, the balkanization of our communities and the overall decline in our quality of life are the result of unconstrained immigration! America cannot accept the worlds population. Too many people chasing too few resources is not sound economic, social or cultural policy. This is not racism but pragmatism! Every industrialized nation, even China, has taken steps to end illegal immigration and to limit legal immigration to only that which is prudent, demonstrably necessary, and above all other concerns, in the best interest of their native population. Its insane to suggest that America should not do likewise.

text: The problem with dangerous goods: WA Museum's conunDRUMAndrew Hosie's blog | Created 5 years agoThe Western Australian Museum is the repository for the State's collection of both natural and social heritage. The Museum's collections require varying amounts of care to preserve. Some artefacts or specimens can simply be kept dry. Most of the Crustacean Collection however is wet-preserved in ethanol and stored in jars and housed in our wet store. Unluckily, not all crustaceans can fit into our jars and some larger specimens are stored in drums, which again, sadly, don't fit in our wet store. The WA Museum Wet Store: might not be much to look at from the outside, but there's treasure inside. Image copyright WA Museum As ethanol is flammable it is classed as a "dangerous good" and needs to be kept in specially-designed containers and areas. As a result our large specimens are actually kept offsite at a chemical storehouse. There are over 350 drums of different sizes containing everything from worms to kangaroos, making up a significant portion of our collections. Fairly recently there has been a change in regulations with regards to appropriate storage of ethanol, which has rendered the drums we currently used obsolete, meaning we have to go through ALL of the current drums and place the specimens into the new compliant drums… A task that has filled staff with dread. Old drums, meet the new drum. Image copyright WA Museum Luckily, the Crustacean Section has only ~60 of the smaller 30 L drums. This will be the first time that the current members of the Crustacean Team have undertaken a full audit of the drums and we're expecting to see plenty of great specimens over the next few months, so watch this space.

Huntington Bay Village Hall To Get $525K Renovation/
By Janee Law
Village of Huntington Bay will soon start a planned $525,000 renovation of village hall, including the addition of a 750-square-foot extension and basement.
Huntington Bay's current village hall at 244 Vineyard Road in Halesite is 2,000 square feet in size. The renovation project is scheduled to be completed by Thanksgiving, said Herb Morrow, the village's mayor.
"What the trustees are doing is investing in the future of the community by having a place that is good to work in, comfortable for residents to come to and that fits the ambiance of this village," Morrow said at a ceremony held Friday.
To fund the project, Morrow said, the village is using $325,000 in bonds sold last summer, along with with $75,000 from the village's budget surplus last year; $27,000 from the state Department of Justice; and a $100,000 grant from the office of New York State Senator Carl Marcellino
"It's a pleasure to assist the village in their construction project," Marcellino said. "It's money well spent from our perspective. You hear what's going on in these districts by meeting with people like the mayors and other constituency groups that keep you informed as to what the needs are and what the concerns of the public are. So it's most important that we stay in touch."
Since the village was founded in 1924, Morrow said the front section of the village hall was built in 1926. The left section of the building was put together in the '60s, and the back portion was built in the '70s.
Morrow added that an internal renovation including carpeting and painting was done in 1997, but officials now want to expand the building.
"The police space they're in now is terrible," Morrow said. "So we're going to make it nice for those guys. We're going to reconfigure the room so the court is a little better, and build a basement so we can have storage on sight."
Architect Neal Hoffman, of Hoffman Grayson Architects, and Ken McAvoy, of MacX Construction, will be spearheading the renovation.
"When it's done, you'll see that this will all look new, prettier and nicer," Morrow said. "It will still have the same kind of look of what it was when the village was first started."

Senior high students Luke and Traci feel something for each other like they have never felt before. And the more they're together, the deeper their feelings and desire for each other grows. Will these feelings last? Are they truly in love? How can they really know?
Do you know any students like Luke and Traci who question what they're feeling and wonder if it's true love? Do you know what to tell them? Do you know how to help? During their quest for an answer, there is one thing for sure they could use, a "911 friend"-a friend who "…is always loyal and a brother [and sister who] is born to help in time of need" (Prov. 17:17).
Through the aid of a gripping true-to-life story, Josh McDowell along with Ed Stewart offers biblical insights and practical instruction on how to define true love the way God does. But more importantly, you will discover how to become a true source of encouragement and guidance to someone in search of answers. This book is designed for you to read first and then give to your friend.
And if you are that person wondering if what you're feeling is the real thing, you will discover how to discern the true nature of love. But more than that, you will learn that God really does care about you and your love life and so does your friend-most likely the person who gave you this book.

Women's hoops team looks four-ward
This is already a better basketball season for Trinity Christian College's women's team than the previous one.
Victory No. 4, scored on Saturday with a 77-74 triumph over Goshen (Ind.) on the Maple Leafs' court, vaulted the Trolls above their win total of a year ago. The 2012-13 campaign included 22 losses. It was also Trinity's second victory in a row, the first multiple-game win streak in two seasons.
The Trolls (4-8) were chasing three in a row — a feat unachieved in the last five years — this past Tuesday in Milwaukee versus Cardinal Stritch University. They host Judson University today at 1 p.m. in their pre-Christmas finale.
Perhaps indicative of the squad's growth, the win over the Maple Leafs was hard-fought. Trinity was better in almost every phase of the game, and while Goshen (2-11) isn't a world-beater, it was precisely the type of team that would have beaten the Trolls last season.
There were still far too many turnovers — 26 — and Goshen pounded inside to the tune of 38 points, but at crunch time it was Trinity doing the crunching.
Four players landed in double figures, beginning with the 21-point showing of forward Caitlin Cody, who was 8-of-11 from the floor. Seventeen points from both Allie Paluchniak and 3-point specialist Holly Boetsma aided the effort greatly, and Brooke Bambrick's 10 points certainly didn't hurt the cause.
What also helped was Goshen's Tyra Carver, with 22 points the game's leading scorer, fouling out in the late going.
Boetsma scored a trio of 3-pointers in the early going to vault Trinity to a 16-12 advantage, and the Trolls kept the lead not only through halftime at 36-34, but expanded it with an 8-0 run to open the second half. At one juncture, it was 54-17, the Trolls enjoying being on the positive end of a one-sided score for a change.
Goshen, however, was not finished. The Maple Leafs stormed back and tied the contest with less than a minute to play, but Boetsma answered with 16 seconds remaining when she scored a basket, was fouled and hit the free throw to establish the margin of victory.
• Record: 4-8 overall, 1-2 CCAC, 1-3 home, 3-4 away, 0-1 neutral. Leaders: Caitlin Cody 12.0 ppg., 7.4 rpg.; Allie Paluchniak 25 assists; Rebecca DeHaan 18 steals; Brooke Bambrick, 8 blocks.
• Schedule: Today, vs. Judson University, 1 p.m.; Dec. 30, vs. Spring Arbor at Indiana Tech, 4:30 p.m. CT; Dec. 31, vs. University of St. Francis (Ind.) at Indiana Tech, 1 p.m. CT.
A big second half spurred the Trolls to an 81-71 victory over Indiana University Northwest in Gary on Saturday. It was Trinity's second win in three games entering this week's action, which is capped by today's matinee with Judson University, the last contest before the Christmas break.
The Trolls outscored their hosts 51-40 in the final 20 minutes, shooting 48 percent from the floor while overcoming a rebounding deficiency and more turnovers. But with Jared Jones' 21 points leading the way, Trinity prevailed and advanced to 4-9 going into this past Tuesday's Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference game at highly touted Cardinal Stritch University.
The Trolls' seven-point lead evaporated late in the first half, and the RedHawks held a 31-30 edge at the half, triggering a see-saw battle that featured eight deadlocks across the next 16 minutes. The Trolls, paced by Jones and Jake Van Den Berg (19 points), scored the next five points and led thereafter, pouring in 10 points from the free-throw line in the last two minutes.
Trinity was 29-of-39 at the stripe, including 22 of 31 in the second half. Van Den Berg's 9-of-11 accuracy topped the Trolls, and he also pulled down 10 of Trinity's 39 rebounds.
• Record: 4-9 overall, 0-3 CCAC, 2-2 home, 2-4 away, 0-3 neutral. Leaders: Jared Jones 14.8 ppg., 38 assists; Ezekiel Odonkor 8.1 rpg., 16 blocks; Cody Rhorer 11 steals.
• Schedule: Today, vs. Judson University, 3 p.m.; Dec. 31, at Lewis University (exhibition), 1 p.m.; Jan. 2, at Illinois Benedictine-Springfield, 7 p.m.
It was late in coming, but well deserved.
Trinity's groundbreaking volleyball team broke into the top 25 in the final NAIA poll of the season. The Trolls were rated No. 22 in the country after their inaugural appearance in the NAIA Championship.
The victory over Bellevue (Neb.) in the tournament's opening round helped break Trinity out of the "also receiving votes" category and got it to the NAIA finals for the first time. That brought the Trolls' play to the attention of other coaches nationally and, despite three straight losses in their group, added respect.
Coach Bill Schepel, who doubles as Trinity's athletic director, was voted the CCAC's Coach of the Year for guiding the Trolls to a 27-10 record — one short of their all-time victory mark — and that first-ever NAIA finals berth. It's his second conference Coach of the Year honor in seven seasons, during which time Trinity has compiled a 198-96 record.
Additionally, Kaitlin Feddema and Kristen Harms last week scored College Division Academic All-America honors. Feddema was selected to the first team, Harms to the second.
A 16-4-2 record and tie for second place in the CCAC earned Josh Lenarz the conference's Coach of the Year honor for the third time and a seventh nod, this time shared, for the National Christian College Athletic Association's North Central area.
The Trolls advanced to the NCCAA finals behind a stellar lineup that included NCCAA first-team All-America defender Bekah Gonzales — who also picked up plaudits from the CCAC, made the NCCAA All-Tournament team, and collected regional and conference all-academic honors — and scoring leader Rachael Webb (NCCAA national third team, all-region and All-CCAC). Earning All-CCAC second-team recognition were Becky Gold, Kayla Diemer and Katie Linehan.
Despite a 5-12-1 record this season, three standout freshmen took NCCAA All-North Central honors. Scoring leader Mauricio Salgado, goalkeeper Gabe Fennema and defender Caleb Copeland all made the squad.
Sagaldo led Trinity with seven goals and two assists, Fennema took over as the starter early in the year and posted a 1.80 goals-against average, and Copeland solidified the back line. Copeland was one of eight players to also receive scholar-athlete honors from either the NAIA or NCCAA.

A woman was she stole a police cruiser following a confrontation with officer in which she was armed with scissors and a hammer.
Fayetteville police said the woman ran from officers and jumped in the police car and took off. She was caught after she crashed the cruiser. Police said four other vehicles were involved in the wreck.
The woman was taken to Cape Fear Valley Medical Center for treatment of her injuries following the crash. Her name has not been released.
Charges against her are pending, police say.
