Psychology Internship in Health Service Psychology
The major goal of the SJSU Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS)' Psychology Internship Program is to provide high quality learning experiences to interns in counseling and clinical psychology in preparation for a career in mental health. To help attain this goal, the counseling faculty has a strong commitment to supervise, teach, and mentor our trainees. Our training is guided by a Practitioner-Scholar model in which we train clinicians to be informed of theory and research in the science of Psychology.
Our psychology internship program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of the American Psychological Association (APA). We are proud members of the Association of Counseling Center Training Agencies (ACCTA) a national organization for training programs within university counseling centers.
Our supervisors represent a broad base of theoretical backgrounds, thus interns are exposed to various models. We emphasize short-term treatment approaches that meet the needs of a diverse student body. We are committed to training psychology interns for work in a diverse world. While the field of psychology as a whole has embraced the importance of multicultural awareness and competence, this is a commitment that we reaffirm daily. We live and work in the midst of one of the most diverse communities in the world and provide trainees experiences to engage in social justice work.
We strive to provide interns with challenging and developmentally appropriate training experiences. We accomplish this by emphasizing training that is sequential, cumulative, and graded in complexity. We provide didactic trainings, experiential learning, mentorship, and role modeling from various staff members. We encourage self-examination and awareness of the impact of self on others.
At CAPS we believe that different levels of trainees have different developmental needs. We work with post-doctoral residents, psychology interns, and advanced practicum counselors. Psychology interns are separated for some components of training so that we may address your unique developmental needs. Psychology interns meet with postdoctoral residents and advanced practicum counselors for some components of training in order to optimize the diverse perspectives that arise when combining various training levels.
CAPS abides by the Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct. Our program meets state licensure requirements for internships and provides broad training covering all the major areas of knowledge and skills expected of a health service psychologist in a university counseling center setting (Standard 7.01), provides an accurate description of the training program, goals and objectives, stipends, benefits and exit criteria (Standard 7.02), provides training as described in the program materials (Standard 7.03), does not require interns to disclose or discuss personal information except as it is related to their developing skills and professional effectiveness (Standard 7.04), does not mandate outside therapy experiences (Standard 7.05), provides evaluations of interns in a timely manner (Standard 7.06), and prohibits sexual relationships between interns and supervisory staff (Standard 7.07).
We have outlined the following training competencies and elements:

San José State University CAPS is a department within the Division of Student Affairs at San José State University. CAPS offers services designed to help San José State's diverse student body of 30,000 identify and accomplish their academic and career goals, enhance personal development, meet life's challenges, and improve interpersonal relationships. CAPS is established as a comprehensive counseling center offering core clinical services, developmental and life skills interventions, consultations, and outreach to our diverse student population. Short-term counseling and psychotherapy are the primary means of direct service delivery.
CAPS provides quality services to students so they can achieve their goals of becoming successful graduates of San José State University, both academically and socially. To fulfill this objective, we look at the whole student and provide guidance and tools to become productive and well-rounded. To do that, professionally trained psychologists, social workers, and counselors are available for students on an individual or group basis for counseling on a myriad of psychological and academic issues. In addition, we provide services such as outreach presentations for students, student groups, staff/faculty, and staff consultations on issues of student mental health and campus climate; and professional training, teaching, and supervision for future mental health personnel, consistent with the educational mission of the university.
CAPS provides services for all enrolled students of San José State University. The student population of SJSU is a highly diverse group. For example, there is no one clear majority group (more than 50%) in terms of ethnicity on the campus and ages range from late teens to many students in their fifties. In addition, there is diversity around ability/disability, religion, culture, sexual orientation, value systems and lifestyles.
CAPS' staff utilize a variety of theoretical positions including integrative, psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, feminist, multicultural, gestalt, humanistic, and systems perspectives. Generally, an integrated approach to counseling and psychotherapy is shared by the staff.
Training in cross-cultural therapy and counseling is integrated into most, if not all, training activities. As noted, SJSU CAPS serves a highly diverse population. Psychology interns participate in a Diversity Process Group and Social Justice and Outreach Training Seminars where social justice and outreach issues are integrated and discussed in depth. Psychology interns are also encouraged to serve as consultants to campus cultural groups. Lastly, CAPS hosts an annual conference: Multicultural Training Day. Trainees and Training Directors from university counseling centers in the Bay Area are invited to attend and share in a day of multicultural learning and dialogue.
There are four major component areas of the Training Program. These areas are Cultural Diversity, Training, Direct Service, and Indirect Service.
Cultural Diversity:
This component is considered to be the most important of the training program for interns and is woven throughout all other components. Cultural diversity themes appear in individual and group sessions, supervision, in the outreach programming in which interns take part, in the training seminar presentations, and in clinical meetings. In addition, there are many seminar experiences focusing on self-awareness of cultural identities. Psychology interns participate in two unique experiences (fully described below): Social Justice and Outreach component and Process Group in Diversity.
Didactic Training Seminar: The Training Seminar meets weekly and is co-led by one licensed psychologist and one Multicultural Postdoctoral Resident. During the weekly seminar, various clinical topics are presented and discussed by a variety of presenters at CAPS. Common training topics include: intervention skills for brief therapy models domestic violence, cultural-double-bind, working with specific cultural populations (e.g., ethnic groups, international students, sexual identity, gender identity), boundaries/multiple relationships and ethical issues, suicide and violence assessment, professional development (e.g., applying for next training positions, preparation for licensure in psychology, job interviews), eating disorders, substance abuse, and empirically-supported treatments for various presenting concerns and client populations. The exact content of the trainings varies based on the needs of the training cohort. Two advanced practicum counselors also attend this weekly seminar.
During the summer months, Psychology Interns will receive additional training in the following topics: preparing to conduct clinical supervision, couple's counseling, and other topics deemed developmentally appropriate for the psychology intern cohort. Psychology interns will also be required to deliver a training seminar presentation on an area of scholarly inquiry (e.g., dissertation project, other current research). These summer topics are tailored to the needs of the interns as we fill in gaps in training and move the psychology interns toward readiness for postdoctoral placements.
Diversity Process Group: The Process Group in Diversity is an opportunity for trainees to develop their awareness in diversity through discussion and experiential process. Our agency believes that self-awareness is vital to the development of the competent practitioner. Trainees may be invited to present on their own cultural identity. Staff may be invited into the seminar to model sharing about their own unique identity statuses. A trainee may be excused from participating in the Diversity Group through consultation with their primary supervisor and Training Coordinator. Psychology interns are combined with advanced practicum counselors for this experience. It is the Training Committee's philosophy that including a diverse group of individuals (including diversity in training levels) enriches the discussion in this seminar. In order to ensure the emotional safety of trainees, information discussed in this group is entirely confidential and is not part of the evaluation process.
Social Justice and Outreach Seminar: The Social Justice and Outreach Seminar during the Fall semester is led by a licensed psychologist. Trainees will discuss the role of Psychologists in addressing social justice issues that may prevent or alleviate mental health struggles; explore the relationship between social justice and the development of outreach services and programs; and may help in developing specialization areas in which they focus their outreach efforts (e.g., LGBT student services, cross-cultural center, international students, substance abuse, eating disorders and body image, suicide prevention). Psychology interns are combined with advanced practicum counselors and postdoctoral residents for this experience. It is the Training Committee's philosophy that including a diverse group of individuals (including diversity in training levels) enriches the discussion. Psychology interns benefit from learning of the outreach experiences of the Multicultural Postdoctoral Residents and may have opportunities to collaborate with the Residents on projects.
Group on Groups & Workshops: The Group seminar is led by a licensed psychologist. The seminar focuses on guiding and supervising trainees as they develop, market, and co-lead therapy groups and psycho-educational workshops. Psychology interns are required to co-lead therapy groups with a staff member or a Multicultural Postdoctoral Resident. Information regarding performance in this seminar, as well as performance when leading groups and workshops, may be provided to the individual supervisor and Training Coordinator for inclusion in the semester evaluation process.
Testing and Measurement Seminar: The testing and measurement series is led by a licensed psychologist. The seminar is designed to review tests and measures originally introduced in doctoral programs and to emphasize the cultural complexities of interpreting testing data and providing feedback in a culturally sensitive manner. Psychology interns will be required to administer approximately one small battery and discuss ethical issues in the administration of test instruments and diagnosing. This is a small component of the training experience. Information regarding clinical skills developed in this seminar may be provided to the individual supervisor and Training Coordinator for inclusion in the semester evaluation process.
Supervision/Case Consultation:
Individual (1:1) Supervision: CAPS meets or exceeds the supervision requirement in the Board of Psychology's Supervised Professional Experience (SPE) regulation. Each psychology intern will be provided with supervision for at least 10% of the total time worked each week. At least two hours per week of individual face-to-face supervision are provided each week. Supervisor assignments for the Fall semester are made by the Training Committee. Psychology interns are required to change supervisors during the second semester to obtain a breadth of orientations, techniques, and styles. For the second semester, trainees' preferences for supervisors are solicited and considered in assignments made by the Training Coordinator. Every effort is made to match requests.
Group Supervision: Group supervision occurs 1.5 hours per week. Group supervision is led by a licensed psychologist. Group supervision provides a forum for discussing clinical work and improving clinical skills. Group supervision also provides the format for presenting formal case presentations (see "Other Training Opportunities"). The CAPS Psychiatrist frequently visits this meeting to provide opportunities for case consultation.
Clinical Consultation Meeting: This weekly meeting is for all staff clinicians, educational counselors, psychiatrists, and trainees. It is an opportunity to present cases to one another and engage in clinical consultation. The emphasis in the meeting is on viewing our work as a team effort to provide the best possible service to students.
Audio/Video Recording: In order to provide specific and in-depth feedback, supervisors require that psychology interns audio- or video-record all client sessions. Recorded sessions are provided to the trainees' supervisor and may be reviewed with the trainee during supervision or outside of supervision times. Trainees inform clients of the recording requirements at the same time they inform clients of their supervision, which is usually during the first session. Should a client not want to be recorded, the client will be reassigned to a non-recording counselor within the agency. Sessions are digitally recorded and stored on a secure server for three weeks. Recorded sessions are for training purposes only and are not available for use outside of Counseling Services. If a client wishes to obtain recorded sessions, the trainee must consult with their primary supervisor. Any recording taken out of CAPS is a violation of this policy and subject to disciplinary actions.
Direct Service:
Direct service hours are provided through individual, couple, and group counseling sessions; outreach presentations; consultations, assessment and crisis service. The provision of direct service hours are done through consultation with your primary supervisor. Psychology interns are expected to accrue 22.5 hours of direct service per week.
Individual/Couple Psychotherapy: Psychology interns are expected to accrue the majority of the direct service hours through work with individual clients. The size of the caseload varies considerably depending on whether clients are seen weekly or less often. Clinical load may also vary during slower times of the year, such as winter break and the beginning of fall semester, and higher during peak times such as midterms and finals.
- Assessment and Crisis Coverage: Assessment appointments are generally the entry point for our students and typically las approximately 20 minutes. They are designed to assess students' reasons for wanting personal counseling, risk, and safety. Following the assessment, it will be determined whether CAPS services or outside services would be best for student; either appointment, CAPS waitlist or referral will result. Crisis services is offered by CAPS Monday - Friday during hours of operation. A variety of crisis cases do come in every semester and include walk-in clients in crisis, phone calls from University Departments (i.e., Residence Halls, Student Conduct, Student Health Center, etc) or requests from faculty to consult about students they are concerned about. Typically, interns cover 2 hours of crisis per week. Interns are not responsible for any after hours crisis coverage.
Group Therapy: Psychology interns may be involved in providing group therapy. Formation of groups will be discussed in orientation, individual supervision, and the Groups and Workshops Seminar. Psychology interns are required to co-lead therapy groups with a Multicultural Post-doctoral Resident or licensed faculty member. Groups are supervised by the leader of the Group on Group Seminar or the licensed clinician co-leading the group.
Outreach and Workshops: Psychology interns are expected to be involved in various Counseling Services programming. Psychology interns are encouraged to gain presentation skills by observing and then co-presenting psycho-educational workshops and other outreach requesrs. Interns are required to deliver a minimum of one workshop per semester, although our expectation is that interns will significantly exceed this requirement. Interns are required to have one workshop per semester observed. The observer, a CAPS clinician or postdoctoral resident, will complete a feedback form which will be reviewed with the intern and provided to the individual supervisor. The "Spartan Success Series," managed by Educational Counselors at CAPS, provide opportunities to lead workshops such as: stress management, internet addiction, time management, and cross-cultural communication skills. Psychology interns may also be part of programs presented during re-occurring campus events such as Eating Disorders Awareness Week, Transgender Awareness Week, or African American History month. Time spent on these projects varies widely. Psychology interns are welcome to suggest programs based on their interest areas.
Indirect Service:
Peer Support Meetings: Psychology interns are encouraged to attend a weekly meeting to support each other and process their unique developmental experiences. Meetings may focus on supporting each other through transitions, increasing accountability regarding progress on dissertations, discussing issues that come up around working in CAPS, and processing the dynamics within the cohort.
Case Management: Psychology interns schedule time into their weekly schedules to complete their case records, review session recordings, and attend to other administrative tasks. In addition, certain blocks of free time for this will present themselves from time to time (e.g., cancellations, no-shows).
Other Consultation, Club, or Committee Work: In the past, trainees have become involved with other organizations or programs that correspond to their own interests. These have included the Mental Health Ambassadors (student group de-stigmatizing mental health services), Active Minds, and Peers In Pride (LGBTQ mentoring program) or the larger Pride and Gender Equity Center; Career Services; Health Services; MOSAIC Cross-cultural Center; Cesar Chavez Community Action Center; Athletic Department, etc.
Attendance at Division or Departmental Meetings and Functions: Our program values collaboration with other campus members and exposure to the larger picture of university functions. Thus, psychology interns attend various meetings throughout the year that involve the larger staff and faculty of San José State University. These include: Division of Student Affairs Professional Development Day, Division of Student Affairs Town Hall Meetings, and various university social functions or celebrations.
Other Training Opportunities:
Case Presentations: Psychology interns are required to give a minimum of two formal case presentations over the course of the training year. Case presentations are delivered during the Group Supervision meetings. Supervisors may assist trainees in any manner they wish with case presentations (e.g., review write-up, attend presentation.). The psychology intern will receive feedback from the group supervision leaders and this information may be provided to the primary supervisor for inclusion in semester evaluations.
Grand Rounds: CAPS values ongoing trainings for all levels of trainees and clinicians and staff. Thus, CAPS provides between 1-3 continuing education trainings each academic year. These presentations may be provided by staff/faculty within the Department or by outside presenters.
Our training program for psychology interns is for 2000 hours of Supervised Professional Experience (SPE), accrued over 12 months completing 1900 hours is our minimum requirement. Training generally begins around mid-August. We will solicit 4 psychology interns. Psychology interns are expected to be available during CAPS business hours: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM, Mondays through Fridays.

SAINT JOHN, N.B. - A six-week preliminary hearing for Dennis Oland, who is charged with second-degree murder in the death of his father Richard, will begin in May.
Richard Oland was found dead in his Saint John office on July 7, 2011. The 69-year-old was a well-known businessman and member of the Order of Canada.
He was also a member of the family that owns Moosehead Breweries, but left the company in the 1980s and went on to work in the trucking business and at the Saint John Shipbuilding and Drydock Co.
His son was arrested in November and granted bail. Dennis Oland was not in provincial court when it set the preliminary hearing to begin May 12.
Dennis Oland was first identified as a suspect in his father's death in court documents released in May. Since then, pieces of the police investigation have been released by a provincial court judge after two media organizations argued that search warrants and affidavits to support them should be made public.
Among the assertions that have been released in those documents was a sworn police affidavit that says blood on a sports jacket found in Dennis Oland's home in Rothesay matched the DNA profile of his father. Search warrants also say that Dennis Oland was "experiencing financial hardships" and owed his father more than $500,000.
The documents contain claims not proven in court. Members of Dennis Oland's family have said they believe he is innocent.
Saint John police Chief Bill Reid said in November that Richard Oland died after repeated blows, but he wouldn't elaborate or say whether police found a murder weapon.

Amy's News
News articles related to our company and products.
Let there be Light
Trying to squeeze more beans into your diet? There's nothing easier than heating up a can of chili for a quick, hearty lunch or dinner
But when the label says Campbell's, Bush's, or Hormel, canned chili that's made with beef means double trouble: if the sodium (which typically hits 1,200 milligrams per cup) doesn't get you, the saturated fat (often 5 to 7 grams) will.
Your Get Out of Jail Free card: Amy's (meatless) Light in Sodium Organic Chili.
Amy cuts the sodium to 340 mg per cup-roughly half of what's in her regular Organic Chili. But the chili's red beans, onions, tofu, and bell peppers end up with the same kick, thanks to the garlic, jalape~o peppers, and spices. And the sat fat (1 gram) is barely there.
Whether you choose Medium or Spicy, you get all the benefits of beans: 7 grams of fiber, 13 grams of protein, and 15 to 25 percent of a day's vitamin A, vitamin C, -and iron in each cup of chili. And it's good to know that no pesticides ended up in the soil, in the water, or in you.
So make yourself a hearty salad of mixed greens and crispy vegetables (to cool your palate). Add a vegetable like corn on the cob. And set aside a bowl of mixed berries topped with a dollop of vanilla yogurt for dessert.
Anyone who thinks that beans have to be either bland or over-salted hasn't met Amy.

The woman loses consciousness; the newborn falls through the toilet and onto the train tracks. Two stations later, the woman's brother-in-law knocks on the door of the restroom and finds her soaked in blood. She tells him the baby fell to the tracks; relatives pull the emergency brake. Station guards are alerted and find the baby, who's been on the tracks for almost 2 hours, and she is still alive. The child was about 8 weeks premature and weighed only 3 pounds; she is doing well and currently "sleeping peacefully" in a hospital. [CNN, LiveLeak]

I just installed Accordance 8 on my new MacBook from the Primary 8 DVD and opened Accordance. I then upgraded to 8.0.5 and opened Accordance. Then I installed the two widgets and opened Accordance. Then I did an update via Accupdate. It updated many different modules, but "Names" still says I have "1.1" and the latest is "1.2". If I click on it, it says it is included in my level of the Primary 8 DVD.
I installed this directly from the DVD, on a blank slate.
What hints are there? I can't find Mods.txt anymore.

Polyvore is....super confusing. Being that I am a trained graphic designer, it's probably super sad that I cannot figure out how to work this site! I registered for an account, and then spent about 2 hours trying to "clip to polyvore" and failed miserably. I could end up spending all day making one silly collage, and so instead, I pilfered this one from the web :)

I did an interview over at the HAND drawing collective blog,
this is an excerpt from the lovely writeup they did for my work:
"Her dreamy small-scale works are marked by a vibrant pastel palette and whimsical hand-drawn characters making their way around cosmic found-image landscapes. Children scale magic mountains, gather wood, flaunt tribal masks, ride rhinos, and feed their animal friends amidst teepee villages which cast patterned shadows in the sun. We'd love to live vicariously through any of her charming, free-spirited creations."

Operation Empty Freezer continues! These parmesan pastry crusts had lived there for so long I don't even remember anything about the recipe. Ooops. Since the goat cheese-disliking contingent of the household is away for the long weekend, I filled them with a mix of Dijon mustard, grated parmesan, soft goat cheese and fresh herbs (oregano and tarragon, and a few leaves of basil) and topped with cherry tomatoes brushed with a bit of olive oil.
Sprinkle with sea salt and bake at about 175°C/350°F for 20 minutes, until the tomatoes are soft and crinkly and the cheese gets a bit of color. And don't try to eat them while hot. No-one likes boiling cherry tomato explosions in their mouth. Ahem.

Australian native Jon Tyson moved to the United States in 1997, convinced that "the future of the Western church was going to be hashed out here." He later heard Os Guinness say that three questions would plot the course of the 21st century: What will take the place of Communist China? Will Islam modernize peacefully? And will there be a third spiritual renewal in the West?
Tyson jumped on that third question, hoping to be part of the answer. He moved from Orlando to New York City, where he is now pastor of Trinity Grace Church, which has planted five smaller missional communities in what Tyson calls the "city parish" model. The communities come together once every six weeks for a large gathering. Much of this was modeled after Redeemer Presbyterian Church, where Pastor Tim Keller mentored four of Tyson's associates. Redeemer has also invested considerable finances into Trinity Grace's growth.
Tyson, 34, speaks at conferences about urban church planting. Noting that 80 percent of the world's population will live in cities by 2030, Tyson says Christians now have a desire "to return and respond to the places we have missionally abandoned. But people are discovering the pure richness and goodness of living in cities."
Question & Answer
Describe the city parish model.
We're made up of several smaller communities around the city that put a priority on outreach in their respective neighborhoods. Rather than being autonomous, they are networked together to share resources, admin support, and more, aiming to shape the spiritual climate of the city. Our vision is to be a movement of restoration and renewal in each neighborhood and industry of the city by joining God in ...1

This would be a good time to invest some money and reap the benefits of a positive market condition. However, by Wednesday a series of negative news stories emerge from the UK and affect the country's economic performance. These dynamics then adversely affects how well the two currencies are trading. At this point it's important to know what's just happened because it will influence whether or not someone should cease trading this currency pair for a while or continue.
Knowing the value of each currency based on various internal and external factors is crucial and the reason why FXBrokerSearch.com's Forex news centre is a vital resource. Drawing on a number of resources, our information section provides the latest information and data from which users can refine their trading activity.
Beyond shifts in the currency market itself, FXBrokerSearch.com's new section has been designed to give traders an insight into the best offers and promotions. By monitoring each of our 200+ Forex brokers we're able to quickly tell users about the latest updates and bonuses.

Once upon a time there lived a little, named Snow White. She lived with her aunt
and uncle because her parents were died.
One day she heard her aunt and uncle talking about leaving Snow White in the
castle because they wanted to go to America and they didnt have enough money
to take Snow White with them.
Snow White didnt want her uncle and aunt to do this. So she decided to run
away. The next morning she run away from home when her aunt and uncle were
having breakfast, she run away into the wood.
In the wood she felt very tired and hungry. Then she saw this cottage. She
knocked but no one answered so she went inside and felt asleep
Meanwhile seven dwarfs were coming home from work. They went inside. There,
they found Snow White woke up. She saw the dwarfs. The dwarfs said; What is
your name?. Snow White said; My name is Snow White. One of the dwarfs
said; If you wish, you may live here with us. Snow White told the whole story
about her. Then Snow white ad the seven dwarfs lived happily ever after.
The Bear and Rabbit
Once upon a time, there lived a bear and a rabbit. The rabbit is a good shot. In
contrary, the bear is always clumsy and could not use the arrow.
One day, the bear called over the rabbit and asked the rabbit to take his bow and
The rabbit was fearing to arouse the bear's anger so he could not refuse it. He
went with the bear and shot enough buffalo to satisfy the hungry family. Indeed he
shot and killed so many that there were lots of meats left after.
However the bear did not want the rabbit to get any of the meat. The rabbit could
not even taste the meat. The poor rabbit would have to go home hungry after his
hard day's work.
The bear was the father of five children. Fortunately, the youngest child was very
kind to the rabbit. He was very hearty eater. The mother bear always gave him an
extra large piece of meat but the youngest child did not eat it. He would take it
outside with him and pretended to play ball with the meat. He kicked toward the
rabbit's house.When he got close to the door he would give the meat with such a
great kick. The meat would fly into the rabbit's house. In this way, the poor rabbit
would get his meal.
The Legend of Toba Lake
Once upon time, there was a handsome man. His name was Batara Guru Sahala.
He liked fishing. One day, he caught a fish. He was surprised to find out that the
fish could talk. The fish begged him to set it free.
Batara Guru could not bear it. He made the fish free. As soon as it was free, the
fish changed into a very beautiful woman. She attracted Batara Guru so much. He
felt in love with that fish-woman. The woman wanted to marry with him and said
that Batara Guru had to keep the secret which she had been a fish. Batara Guru
aggreed and promised that he would never tell anybody about it.
They were married happily. They had two daughters. One day Batara Guru got
very angry with his daughter. He could not control his mad. He shouted angrily
and got the word of fish to his daugters. The daughters were crying. They found
their mother and talked her about it.
The mother was very annoyed. Batara Guru broke his promise. The mother was
shouting angrily. Then the earth began to shake. Volcanoes started to erupt. The
earth formed a very big hole. People believed that the big hole became a lake.
Then this lake is known as Toba lake.
The Monkey and The Crocodile
One day there was a monkey. He wanted to cross a river. There he saw a crocodile
so he asked the crocodile to take him across the other side of the river. The
crocodile agree and told the monkey to jump on its back. Then the crocodile swam
down the river with the monkey on his top.
Unluckily, the crocodile was very hungry, he stopped in the middle of the river
and said to the monkey, My father is very sick. He has to eat the heart of the
monkey. So he will be healthy again.
At the time, the monkey was in dangerous situation and he had to think hard.
Then he had a good idea. He told the crocodile to swim back to the river bank.
Whats for? asked the crocodile. Because I dont bring my heart, said the
monkey. I left it under a tree, near some coconuts in the river bank.
The crocodile agreed and turned around. He swam back to the bank of the river.
As soon as they reached the river bank, the monkey jumped off the crocodiles
back. Then he climbed up to the top of a tree.
Where is your heart? asked the crocodile. You are foolish, said the monkey to
the crocodile. Now I am free and I have my heart.
The Smartest Parrot
Once upon time, a man had a wonderful parrot. There was no other parrot like it.
The parrot could say every word, except one word. The parrot would not say the
name of the place where it was born. The name of the place was Catano.
The man felt excited having the smartest parrot but he could not understand why
the parrot would not say Catano. The man tried to teach the bird to say Catano
however the bird kept not saying the word.
At the first, the man was very nice to the bird but then he got very angry. You
stupid bird! pointed the man to the parrot. Why cant you say the word? Say
Catano! Or I will kill you the man said angrily. Although he tried hard to teach,
the parrot would not say it. Then the man got so angry and shouted to the bird
over and over; Say Catano or Ill kill you. The bird kept not to say the word of
One day, after he had been trying so many times to make the bird say Catano, the
man really got very angry. He could not bear it. He picked the parrot and threw it
into the chicken house. There were four old chickens for next dinner You are as
stupid as the chickens. Just stay with them Said the man angrily. Then he
continued to humble; You know, I will cut the chicken for my meal. Next it will
be your turn, I will eat you too, stupid parrot. After that he left the chicken house.
The next day, the man came back to the chicken house. He opened the door and
was very surprised. He could not believe what he saw at the chicken house. There
were three death chickens on the floor. At the moment, the parrot was standing
proudly and screaming at the last old chicken; Say Catano or Ill kill you.

A Crazy Night at the Cell as Sox Move Above .500
Last night, after the White Sox failed to score Alex Rios from third base with nobody out in the bottom of the 11th inning against the Indians, it felt like it just wasn't going to be our night–and, more to the point, it's just not our year.
The Sox ultimately survived the 14-inning, 5 hour and 21 minute marathon, 8-7, thanks to Juan Pierre's game-winning single, but it was a maddening night for those of us watching the game. A game that put us over the .500 mark for the first time since April and moved us to within a half-game of the second-place Tribe.
Here's what I mean:
–The Sox collected an impressive 22 hits, led by Paul Konerko and Brent Morel with four each, but stranded 16 runners.
–We threatened the record books with five triples (Rios, Alejandro De Aza 2, Alexei Ramirez, Tyler Flowers), but only two of them scored.
–The bullpen outpenned the Cleveland pen, as all six full-time relievers saw action. But Chris Sale gave up a homer to Travis Hafner in the eighth and Sergio Santos blew a save in the ninth to allow the Indians to tie the game and send it into extras.
But in the end, the Sox were able to pull it out and there were a host of positives. In addition to Konerko, Morel, the five triples and a mostly solid bullpen, Pierre homered (only his second) and had three hits in all. De Aza also totaled three hits and two RBIs (he's pictured above sliding in with one of his triples) while Flowers had a double and a single and drove in a run. Even a struggling Gordon Beckham came through with a 14th inning double and scored the winning run.
It was a long night and I'm still trying to wake up. I would be feeling a whole lot worse if the uplifting win was, instead, a disheartening loss.

When You Wish Upon A Sleazebucket
I was seeing a guy for four months — a guy I liked better than I've ever liked anyone. Two months in, he was calling me his girlfriend, putting me on the phone with his mom and saying that I shouldn't look to be dating other people. Yet, I noticed that he remained on the dating website we met on and was checking in there daily. I asked him whether he was seeing other girls on the site, and he said, "Only a friend I work with and she is older anyway." When I'd ask whether he was sleeping with other girls, he'd always say no. Well, he left his e-mail open on my computer, and I searched it and discovered he'd been contacting several women daily on the dating site and sleeping with at least one other woman. I contacted her and told her he's contacting numerous other women so she'd know he's a sociopath, a sex addict, a liar and a cheat. Now I'm thinking about warning other women he's contacted. Is that crazy? — Badly Betrayed
We all want to believe — in the tooth fairy and talking dogs, that Santa got to the mall on his airborne sleigh and not the bus after his car got impounded for DUIs.
Sticking to your preferred version of reality works when you're 6. At 26 or 36, it tends to end badly. You, for example, tried to ignore the wildly obvious: A guy isn't logging in at a dating site daily because his mouse gets lost on the way to the sports scores. Eventually, Reality popped up to ask you, "Am I really going to have to bite you?" So, you asked the guy whether he was seeing anybody from the site, and he said, "Only a friend I work with." Note that this was not a no. To a woman seeking the truth, it sounds like what it was — a truth-flavored lie. But, determined as you were to keep believing you'd found your Mr. Husband, you cut up all the red flags and did a remarkable job repurposing them into throw pillows.
The fact that your suspicions finally got too big and stanky to ignore didn't give you the right to plow through the guy's e-mail — the techno-quivalent of breaking in to his house and reading all his mail. People are entitled to privacy. Even scummy people. Even scummy people who are sleeping with you. If a guy's level of sharing doesn't match your need to know, find the door — not an opportune moment to go all Nancy Drew on his gmail.
Railing about what a bad guy your ex is and contacting every woman he ever said "'sup?" to on some dating site is a great idea, as it will keep you far too busy to admit that you made it possible for him to skeeve you. (Your not wanting to know coincided rather neatly with his wanting to keep his options open.) You can't control whether somebody lies to you. You can only control whether you do — and whether you treat reality like the 50-foot brick wall it is or pretend, for as long as you can, that it comes with an elastic waistband like fat men's pants.
A Breath Of Fresh Stare
I'm back in college in hopes of changing careers, and I'm interested in a woman I've become friendly with in one of my classes. Our schedules rarely seem to mesh, so it's been difficult for me to find a time to express my feelings. In fact, there's never an appropriate time to ask her out due to other students always being present. Still, I think it would be a shame not to let her know that somebody really cares for her. — Continuing Ed
There are sometimes great barriers to two people coming together — warring nations, conflicting religions, violent family feuds and other students seated in nearby desks. You're taking college classes, which suggests your problem-solving ability exceeds that of most boiled vegetables. This, in turn, suggests you could figure out the obvious solution: Pull this woman aside and ask her out. But maybe what you're most interested in is a convenient excuse for spending the rest of the semester staring at the back of her head while drawing little hearts in a notebook, allowing you to feel connected to her without risking rejection. The problem is, this can cause your feelings to fester — to the point where you have such a huge onesided relationship with her that you become unable to speak to her without seeming creepy. If you do want to date her, ask her out now, before "Wanna knock a few back at Kelly's bar?" comes off like "You know, you'd look really pretty chained to my cabin wall."

Here in New Orleans we don't refer to this time of the year as winter, we refer to it as Mardi Gras and King Cake time. This sticky pastry cake is one of the best known, symbols of Mardi Gras and New Orleans.
The origin of the king cake goes back to the 1800's and is an interesting read. My history of this king cake dates back to grade school days. The beginning of carnival was marked by the first king cake party. Who ever got the baby had to have the next party that following weekend. Imagine a party guaranteed for months and paid for by your parents. If I recall, there were also spin the bottle games at those parties! Back then there was only one type of cake, hand braided and loaded with cinnamon and creamy white icing.
In more recent years, bakeries have been creative with stuffings and toppings. Cakes ooze with cream cheese, apple, lemon and strawberry fillings. My favorite remains what is now called traditional. I travel far for a cake from Randazzo's bakery… to me, the best! They do ship all over the world!

Blogging Prompt 15: The Death Certificate with No Name
List some vital signs. Talk about specific birth, marriage and death certificates. Topics may include misspelled names, fudged dates, other anomalies that stand out in your records.
When I learned that the South Carolina Death Record Collection on Ancestry had added digital images, I knew I had to make systematic use of this resource for my Moore and Lewis lines. In connection with my "Descendants of Samuel Moore of Greenville" project, I decided to go through all the certificates for Moores in Greenville; the search page for this particular record set has a county menu option, so I could just plug in "Greenville" and "Moore" and work on the list of records that would generate.
On of the results simply had "Moore." I did not know whether or not this would be one of "my" Moores, but to be thorough, I checked it. There was nothing at all written in the section for the name of the deceased. However, an observant indexer must have noticed that the last name of the father listed for the deceased was "Moore," so that was how it was indexed. In fact, listed as the father of the deceased was B. M. Moore, aka Bud Mathis Moore, the brother of my great-great grandfather William Spencer Moore. I saw that the informant was J. M. Blakely – this would be James Moore Blakely, the son of Franklin Blakely and Bud M. Moore's daughter Susan Amanda. And, looking at the other information provided on the deceased, I could see that the deceased had been Susan Moore Blakely. Ordinarily she would have been indexed under "Blakely," but the indexer was correct in choosing the father's name, since the relationship of the informant to the deceased is not indicated. I submitted a correction to Ancestry, and it now shows up in the search results.
Carefully going through long lists of search results can be tiring, but I've learned through many experiences like this that it is worthwhile.

When I saw this on my reader, I had to give it a look-see. Ohio has also put the older death certificates on line and while working on my next blog about a piece of local history, I was looking for a man who I knew died in Ohio, but couldn't locate his on line death certificate. WHY....because the named written on the certificate was Grover and his name was George! I know your pain!!! lolReplyDelete
Very interesting! Good eye on your part. Gold star for you. :)ReplyDelete
Greta what a great catch! It's amazing that a death cert could be filed with no name on it. I have the opposite problem on one of mine - his name is there, all other items are "unknown". Very frustrating!ReplyDelete
Linda, Amy, Cindy - Thank your for your comments. Amy, if you don't mind, I'd like to pass that gold star on to the transcriber. I can be very critical of some of the mistakes transcribers make, but this one was really doing his or her job. The most frustrating thing is that so often by the time the person died, the survivors often no longer remembered the name of the parents.ReplyDelete
Great catch! and Wow! your line! Can I touch you and have some of that luck??ReplyDelete
Oh, no, Linda, you don't want to touch me for luck - I usually have horrible luck. This was just unusual. I also forgot to mention in the article that one reason I check the death records with only a last name is that they are often for babies who died very young; this is often the only way to find out about them.ReplyDelete

How did you begin your career as a makeup artist? Burning Desire and my fascination with people, color, and making beautiful things. I finally went with my gut feeling and committed to my dreams. A goal without a plan is simply a wish without burning desire. Do not procrastinate. Burning Desire following terms: Passionate. Driven. Purposeful. Focused. Determined. I started booking for backstage runway shows for local fashion designers, commercial photo shoots, and bridal events. Self-confidence and not being afraid to say "Hey, my name's Julie. I am a makeup artist." to everyone I meet.
How has makeup influenced you? With makeup you can do anything. This relationship is a devoted consumed with obsession pledged. I love how makeup provides the need and want for everyone, beauty is for everyone.
"If you want to move forward in life, you have to make it happen for yourself." – Oprah Winfrey, self-made female billionaire.
What are your favorite makeup products? M·A·C has a huge range of products. And there are products which you can make do so many different things and products that just work wonderfully well when you use them in the way they are conceived to work. STROBE Cream is a daily staple in my kit. Face and Body foundation works perfectly on everyone. Have a set bag ready to complete touch ups during "first looks" and be ready with body moisturizer and a concealer palette to correct any imperfections on exposed skin.
What is your favourite feature to make up? Lips, great way to wear vibrant lipstick and manage for it not too look too sophisticated is to apply the lipstick, remove excess with a Kleenex and then use a clean lip brush to blend the lip line and remove that way any hard edges. I am obsessed with shades of red, burgundy and magenta. I believe it comes from my early years of being captivated by women in my family transforming their appearance with the application of rich lipstick colours. I think everyone remembers their first encounter with makeup, either applying it or watching someone else apply it, and then having the realization of its transformative power.
How would you describe your uniqueness as a makeup artist? The art of Observation is very important. Knowing how to look at face and see the distinctive features and nuances that make that face unique. Second, Listening, you have to really listen to what the client wants and be able to translate that into art.
"I was a woman with a mission and single-minded in the pursuit of my dream." - ESTÉE LAUDER
How do you start a makeup look? You have to start with the love of doing makeup. Once you realize that, it makes moving forward that much easier. Lay out all the colors, textures, powders, creams, and paint palettes that inspires you and go front here. Make face charts to pre-design your looks before presenting the Look to a client. You can try many different ideas before deciding on the finished design.
What's your current take on the fashion industry? Forward thinking, confidence, and authenticity is fashion. Growing is all apart of the process so learn with the trends and it will keep you interested. Find a couple of mentors that can give you advice and knowledge and help you with your skill set. My fashion mentors are Sara Blakely and Tory Burch, both self-made female billionaire that built business from the ground up. It's hard work, but never stop dreaming and keep moving.

Attorney General Brown Reaches Agreement with H&R Block Prohibiting Deceptive Marketing of Tax Refund Loans
Sacramento—Attorney General Edmund G. Brown Jr. today reached a $4.85 million settlement with H&R Block, which prohibits the company from marketing refund anticipation loans as early tax refunds.
"This settlement prevents H&R Block from marketing high-cost loans as early tax refunds," Attorney General Brown said. "This is especially important because often these loans go to those who can least afford them."
The California Attorney General filed suit against H&R Block in early 2006 regarding its marketing and sale of income tax refund anticipation loans and a related product called refund anticipation checks.
H&R Block continues to deny any wrongdoing. During the course of the investigation, Block has worked with the Attorney General to improve its practices.
A refund anticipation loan is a short-term loan secured by a taxpayer's anticipated income tax refund. The complaint alleged a variety of deceptive practices by H&R Block including:
• Deceptive advertising designed to disguise refund anticipation loans, which carry fees and other costs, as tax refunds, which the IRS provides without charge; and
• Unfair debt collection practices by which customers' refund proceeds were garnished to pay off debts they supposedly owed.
The settlement provides for up to $2.45 million in restitution for consumers who purchased a
"Refund Anticipation Loan" or a "Refund Anticipation Check" through H&R Block between
January 1, 2001 and December 31, 2008. In addition, H&R Block will pay $500,000 in penalties and $1.9 million in fees and costs.
In addition. H&R Block will be prohibited from marketing these loans and related products in a deceptive or misleading manner and will be required to make clear and conspicuous disclosures to consumers prior to their purchase of these products. Terms of the settlement are limited to three years.
A settlement administrator will be contacting eligible consumers directly. Eligible consumers may also write to the Attorney General's Public Inquiry Unit at P.O. Box 944255, Sacramento, CA 94244-2550, or may send an e-mail at http://ag.ca.gov/contact/.
Attorney General Brown previously settled claims against Jackson Hewitt and recently concluded a trial against Liberty Tax Service, the second and third largest tax preparation companies in the country, respectively. All three lawsuits involved refund anticipation loans and related products.

Q: Our piping specification requires that duplex stainless-steel castings be supplied per ASTM A890. A valve company took exception, and indicated that duplex valve bodies and bonnets would be supplied per ASTM A995. What is the difference between these specifications?
A: ASTM A890 "Castings, Iron-Chromium-Nickel-Molybdenum Corrosion Resistant, Duplex (Austenite-Ferrite) for General Application" was released in 1988, the first ASTM standard that covered the modern duplex stainless-steel casting grades. As such, many piping specifications include references to ASTM A890 and its various duplex grades for piping components such as valves. Unfortunately, ASTM A890 has some shortcomings when used to purchase pressure-retaining components.
ASTM A890 references ASTM A781 "Castings, Steel and Alloy, Common Requirements, for General Industrial Use" for coverage of general requirements. ASTM A781 refers back to the individual product specification (A890) for tensile test requirements. ASTM A890 lists tensile property requirements, but does not require that the tensile tests actually be performed. Tensile tests are only required if Supplementary Requirement S32 is specified on the purchase order. In order to obtain a test report showing the actual chemistry and tensile test results, Supplementary Requirement S12 must also be imposed. Marking of heat numbers on castings is not required unless specified separately on the purchase order.
In 1998, ASTM released ASTM A995 "Standard Specification for Castings, Austenitic-Ferritic (Duplex) Stainless Steel, for Pressure-Containing Parts." At first glance, this specification appears very similar to A890. Any casting that meets A995 also meets A890. However, A995 imposes some additional requirements:
- A995 includes fewer grades (1B, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A, and 6A) than A890 (1A, 1B, 1C, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A, and 6A), and the composition limits for the common alloys are listed with higher precision in many cases.
- A995 requires that weld repairs be made using procedures and welders qualified per ASTM A488. A890 does not.
- A995 provides a definition for major weld repairs and requires post-weld heat treatment (i.e., re-solution heat treatment) after all major weld repairs. A890 only requires post-weld heat treatment if Supplementary Requirement S33 is imposed on the purchase order.
- A995 references ASTM A703 "Steel Castings, General Requirements, for Pressure-Containing Parts," instead of A781. A703 imposes several other requirements that are not included in A890 nor A781:
- Each heat of material must be tensile tested.
- Each casting must be hydrostatically tested.
- Each casting must be marked with a heat number or with a serial number traceable to a heat number.
- Certification must be provided listing the chemical analysis of the heat and the mechanical property test results.
In 2000, ASME issued SA995, which is identical to the 1998 revision of ASTM A995. ASTM A995 was reapproved without changes in 2003.
Once a specification has been adopted by ASME, a progression begins toward implementation of the included grades in various portions of ASME codes:
- P-numbers are assigned in Section IX of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.
- Mechanical properties vs. temperature, allowable stresses vs. temperature, and maximum temperature limits are included in the appropriate tables in Section II Part D of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.
The material may be adopted in ASME codes for specific products or applications, including:
- ASME B16.34 Valves - Flanged, Threaded, and Welding-End
- ASME B16.5 Pipe Flanges and Flanged Fittings: NPS ½ Through NPS 24
- ASME B31.1 Power Piping
- ASME B31.3 Process Piping
Whether and when a particular specification/material is included in any of the above codes depends on numerous factors. However, one thing is clear-materials are not added in these codes unless the parent specification requires tensile testing to ensure that the product being supplied actually meets the minimum mechanical properties upon which the design is based. For this reason alone, many specifications that don't require actual tensile testing are not represented in these codes. Examples include ASTM A276 stainless-steel bar and ASTM A743 and A744 castings. A890 grades will not be added for the same reason. When duplex stainless steels are added to these codes, the parent specification will be A995/SA995.
This is the reason why valve companies prefer to specify duplex stainless steels per A995/SA995 for control valves. Customer piping specifications that specify duplex stainless steels per ASTM A890 are essentially out of date, and should be revised to reference ASTM A995 or ASME SA995 for these materials.
