Dalhousie University Nursing Survey: Violence and Our Health

Dalhousie University Nursing Survey: Violence and our Health
 
Hello.  My name is Joel and I am a
4th year Nursing Student at Dalhousie
University.
  I am currently doing research for a presentation on Violence and how it can impact our health.

Following this link will bring you to a survey I created in hopes that you and others will be able to contribute to my/our current understanding of violence.  It  will take approx. 5 minutes or less to completeNo personal information is required and no questions will indicate who you are.

After you have completed the survey please send it to your friends so
that it will hopefully increase the amount of data I/we can use to share and
educate fellow nurses and ultimately our community(s).

Thank you very much.  Your participation is greatly appreciated.

You are Listening to: Earshot - Someone

This track may just very well be my 'Song of the year'.  It is featured on Earshot's album 'Two'.  One may notice the vocal similarities to Tool's frontman Maynard (click title).
 
 
And if you could make up
For every single time you lied
I'd probably whisper this
Hello, Goodbye
And so it begins again
Harder each and every time
I start to reminisce
I never seem to ever find

Someone I can trust
Someone I believe
Someone who will never try
To bring me to my knees
Someday I will find again
Someone just like me
Someone who will take the time
In understanding me

And if I could make uo
For every single tear you cried
I'd probably never miss
Your hand in mine
I never could understand
Mistakes I repeat again
I've been through this so many times
I never seem to ever find

Someone I can trust
Someone I believe
Someone who will never try
To bring me to my knees
Someday I will find again
Someone just like me
Someone who will take the time
In understanding me

I've stopped searching
To take my time and completely clear my head
I believe it was meant to be
And I feel it's time to go

And if you could make up
For every single time you lied I'd probably whisper this
I never seem to ever find

Someone I can trust
Someone I believe
Someone who will never try
To bring me to my knees
Someday I will find again
Someone just like me
Someone who will take the time
In understanding me

And never leave
And never scream
Someone who believes
Never lies to me
And would die for me

Drink of Excellence

Ladies and Gentleman, the masses have spoken and finally producets with meaning are being supplied to our media frenzied minds and bodies...or is that bodies and minds.  What the...?  Hey, let's race!  I'm back, you lost...no I am not tired!
 
 
This is in reference to a definition presented in my October 17, 2006 entry 'Terms to Live By'
 
  • TAB - Tuff as balls.  "Tom Bosley is TAB!"

Stainless steel beak fits the bill for exotic bird caught a bit short

A rare exotic bird has been given a new lease of life after his beak broke off — and a metal one was fitted in its place.

The southern ground hornbill, one of only 12 in Britain, would have starved without human intervention. Staff at Birdland, in Gloucester, fitted a six-inch beak made from stainless steel and attached by five small bolts. Now 15-year-old Metal Mickey, as visitors are calling him, is doing well. He is believed to be the first bird in Britain to have a steel jaw.

Simon Blackwell, director of Birdland, said: “One of the keepers went into his aviary a couple of weeks ago and about half of the bird’s bottom mandible was missing.

“We don’t really know what happened. Perhaps he caught it on the wire, or he may have been fighting. He was kept on his own for a week but is now back with his mate.”

Southern ground hornbills are from southern Africa and can live for up to 40 years. In the wild they eat lizards, frogs and birds’ eggs but in captivity survive on rats and mice.

Terms to Live By

Throughout my life I have often found more meaning in the creation of my own words or phrases to describe an event.  So do the Masterminds Skitz and SMD!   Here are 5 new original terms to add to your dictionary and your regular vocabulary.
 
Bryan Adams - Describes a person, place, thing, event, etc. that is totally Bad Ass = B.A =Bryan Adams. "Man, the new Black Label Society album is Bryan Adams"

Egotistical egotists each echoing egotistical ecstasies

With all of the ignorance and bliss in the world, it's a wonder we have not already consumed ourselves one thousand times over.  Each and every action an individual takes can dramatically alter the action and/or response of any other object, animal, or person in existence.  We often oversee those whom we can most dramatically affect with our ultimate goal to better the existence and pleasures of our egocentric being.  Such lives can experience inner turmoil and psychological and physical distress with the absolute ignorance of the inflictor.  Hate, truth, lies, trust, and love are all but some qualities experienced by ALL who have a social conscience.  When it all comes down to it 'I' is our #1 though and word, shortly followed 'Want' as our most common thought(s).  No wonder everybody can't be happy.

Unscheduled Testing

International controversy erupts as a Global Superpower tested a new missile technology without the permission and approval of The United Nations.  The low tech yet highly efficient and effective SHAW-N/M.D-Airhead antiaircraft missile was launched approximately 92km south of the Bering Straight.  Artificial intelligence glider planes were the targets of choice for the testing.  Unexpected results occurred as the missile failed to destroy its designated target, only to follow a bag of potato chips cast from the glider, ultimately plummeting into the ocean.  No further testing is expected to commence.

Katatonia - Omerta

Omerta is an uncharacterically written/sounding song from Katatonia's masterpiece album Viva Emptiness (click song title to listen).
 
 
 
  

Come by you have come far
All I had I lost in the flood
Come sit with me at the bar
Tell me of progress strengthen my blood
No one here knows my name (no)
I have traded my memories for things
But I remember you clearly
Do you remember that I used to sing

Why have you waited so long
Why have you waited so long

Come by you have come far
Long since I saw you so how have you been
Come sit with me at the bar
How long since they told you that they had found him
No one here knows my name (no)
I gave up my worries for one good thing
But I remember you clearly
Do you remember that I used to sing

Why have you waited so long
Why have you waited so long
Why have you waited so long
Why have you waited so long

Was it because I never told you
I was going away
That you waited so long
Was it because your fucking dreams
Meant nothing to me
That you waited so long

It runs from the top of my fingers
Into my hands
What is it I have been drinking
I do not understand
I thought I'd lost you my brother
I'm so glad you came
My regards to the ones that I love I miss them
Tell them I love them I miss them

Jeff Buckley - I Want Someone Badly

To listen, click song title. 
 
 
 
 
Now I want someone badly
Got a girl here tonight
Want someone new
Someone new

But (a) little cry wants someone badly
Wanna know if this is a bad lease on me
(I want know)
I want know
Am I sure that I heard you right
I want to know
If you're leaving just do it tonight

Now I want someone badly
To burn in here with me
Better listen baby
'Cause I cry all over madly
Don't do anything to it with me
Ooh I wanna know
Am I sure that I have your love
I want know
If you're leaving just make sure it's right

Now I, I want someone badly
Could it be true
That someone is you

Spock's Beard - The Bottom Line

 
 
This is a beautiful track that should be listened to at least once in your life.  Easily one of this bands' finest.  To listen, click the song title.
 
 
 
 
Can we talk about our last conversation?
It was heated I got burned
And please don't act like nothin' even happened
Just listen and learn


We've invested too much time
This is yours as much as mine


What if I told you that I never loved you?
What would you do?
Is that what you always wanted to hear?


Your words are so few
This is all that I am
All I want is to understand


The lights turn dim
The fog rolls in
And I lay still
Check my thoughts
One by one
I think of you still


How everything ends is all fine
But can we just get to the bottom line


Here goes nothin'
Put all fear aside
Run with the bulls


Am I missin somethin'
Kiss all I love tonight
Light myself on fire


If time is all it takes to heal these wounds
Then I've got nothin' but time
Nothin' but time
That's my bottom line
That's my bottom line
I found my bottom line
Or it found me

Freestyle Poetry

Loop after loop
Signals of ends
Counters of time continue.
Mortal eyes blinded
Mirrored counter function.
 
Current perspective entrusts such detail
Imagination has no home.
Elapsed time returns
Moments linger
Now equals then
 
Returning to start
Resurgent youth
Rebirth--Renewal
Limitless
Loop after loop

FAGGO of the WEEK!

Submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society I bring you 'Sardo:  The FAGGO of the WEEK'.
 
If any of you can remember the hit Canadian television series "Are You Afraid of the Dark?' then I am quite sure you can remember this FAGGO.  This fat gypsy (I guess thats what he was) would randomly appear in episodes supplying children with magic dust, potions, and spells--->Kinda of matches the profile of a kidnapper. 
 
I don't know what is was but even at a young age this FAGGO rubbed me the wrong way.  I don't know if it was just the cut of his jib or the fact that he had the remnants of Hogie on the sides of his mouth.  Nonetheless it has earned him the eternal title of FAGGO of the WEEK.
 
Children - "Mr. Sardou..."
 
Sardo - "Thats SARDO!  No Mr., accent on the Do!"

Good Moral

I was a very happy person.  My wonderful girlfriend and I had been dating for over a year, and so we decided to get married.  There was only one little thing bothering me...it was her beautiful younger sister.
 
My prospective sister-in-law was twenty-two, wore very tight miniskirts, and generally was braless.  She would regularly bend down when she was near me, and I always got more than a pleasant view of her private parts.  It had to be deliberate.  She never did it
when she was near anyone else.
 
One day "little" sister called and asked me to come over to check the wedding invitations.  She was alone when I arrived, and she whispered to me that she had feelings and desires for me that she couldn't overcome.  She told me that she wanted to make love to me just once before I got married and committed my life to her sister.  Well, I was in total shock, and couldn't say a word.  She said, "I'm going upstairs to my bedroom, and if you want one last wild fling, just come up and get me".  I was stunned and frozen in shock as I watched hergo up the stairs.
 
When she reached the top she pulled off her pantiesand threw them down the stairs at me.  I stood there for a moment, then turned and made a beeline straight to the front door.  I opened the door, and headed
straight towards my car.  Lo and behold, my entire future family was standing outside, all clapping! With tears in his eyes, my father-in-law hugged me and said, "We are very happy that you have passed our little
test...we couldn't ask for a better man for our daughter. Welcome to the family".
 
The moral of this story:
 
Always keep your condoms
in your car!!!

FAGGO of the WEEK!

Before I let this tradition go on any further, it's time to make an honorable mention. This the only FAGGO of the WEEK that will ever be given praise.  Without the comedic genious of Scott Tompson and the Kids in the Hall, the term FAGGO wouldn't even exist.

 
In tribute, here is the transcript of the sketch 'Evil T' from 'The Kids in the Hall', Season 2 (1990-1991): 
 
[Drum roll. Scott enters. The word "FAGGOT" appears over his head.]

 

Scott: What is it about the word "faggot" that makes people so frightened? Do you think it's the actual letters, themselves? Well, let's take a look at that.

 

Do you think maybe it's the letter "F"? I don't think so, because "F" stands for fun. And, we all love to have fun, don't we?

 

Maybe it's that naughty "A." Now, I can't believe that for one second, because "A" is what we all want to bring home from school.

 

Well then, maybe it's those double "G"s. How could that be? We all love twins. I love that Doublemint ad.

 

Maybe it's the "O." Well, you might as well get mad at a donut.

 

You know what? I bet--I bet it's that evil "T," because it reminds people of Christ's agony on the cross.

 

Well, I've got the perfect solution. Let's get rid of the "T" and all the hate that goes with it. So, come on faggos, let's sing! Everybody! Come on all you faggos!

FAGGO of the WEEK!

NOT THE MAMMA!!!!!
 
Gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
 
Tell me, who out the actually loved this FAGGO?  Seriously?  You don't know how many times I wanted to pull that little punk out of his high chair and Power Bomb him on the sedimentary bedrock  kitchen floor.
 
 
Oh by the way, the FAGGO I speak of is 'Baby Sinclair' from the not-so-hit tv series Dinosaurs (1991-1994).
 
Thankfully this FAGGO went the way of the Dinosaurs...ah so, so lame...

FAGGO of the WEEK!

This one is a 'lil raunchy.  I was surfing blog sites when I came across this FAGGO:  The Red Ranger for the original Power Rangers.  Now typically FAGGO of the WEEK's are picked from a more critical perspective.  This weeks FAGGO could not be labeled more correctly.
 
According the blog site:
"Yes ... sad but true ... the Red Power Ranger is now making gayish porno vids to pay the rent these days. Apparently this guy claims that he is "straight" but will allow certain things to be done to thim by other men. Um, yeah. If you head on over to SeanCody.com (NSFW!) you can see all kinds of pictures of Austin St. John, who's porno name is "Brock", in all states of undress showing off his various ... assets". (click here to view this this and many other celebrity gossip entries)
So all of you out there who idolized the Red Ranger during your childhood, you'd better question a few things!
 
*Viewer be warned, the site links more than likely contain explicit images and writings...you've been warned!!!*
