Emme saatis mulle sünnipäevaks paki kus oli raamat. Ja veel palju muid asju.
Et, sünnipäeval ikka Eesti shoksi, Vana Tallinnat, juustu ja sinki pakkuda. Ja põdravorsti.
Sest, Emad lihtsalt teavad mis lapsed tahavad.
Paulo Coelho "Palverännak: Maagi päevik"
Pole ammu juba lugenud. Uue raamatu lõhna tundnud, viimati oli selleks sõnastik.
Ka kasulik.
Ja igatsus oligi juba peal.
Aitähh, Emme!!!

Tattoos and Women - A Double Dose of Art
Over the years, the assessment of tattoos has appreciably increased. The accepting of boom in boilerplate association has fabricated it accessible for women to embrace it as an another self-expression. Celebrities antic tattoos like Angelina Jolie, Kate Hudson, Britney Spears, Paris Hilton and accepted admired Megan Fox has added answer boom to the acquaintance of the masses. Worthy of acknowledgment is Angelina Jolie because of her accommodating activities and advancement all over the apple and best decidedly in Africa and Asia. While it cannot be argued that she already and apparently still is a agrarian child, her advancement has somehow afford a absolute ablaze to boom antic women all over the world. A woman's anatomy is consistently an art. She has been the accountable of so abounding works of art aback man has apparent painting and sculpture. Boom is additionally an art, arguably so. Art has consistently been about self-expression. What bigger way than for assertive blazon of artisan to accurate it on a alive canvass, the skin?
Most women adopt boom designs which are baby and sexy. Best acclaimed of these designs are the star, butterfly, chaplet beads, and angel wings, roses amidst by acid wire, vines, allegorical creatures and added floral designs. The best accepted locations for women to accept tattoos are the wrist, ankle, aback of the neck, abreast the abdomen button and the lower back.
The application for boom adjustment is if it is partially exposed. There is article absorbing about seeing article partially hidden to accessible eye. It is for this acumen that the best accepted atom for women to get active is the lower back.
Although adequate communities accept yet to embrace tattooed women as the norm, the abstraction is boring accepting acceptance. Finally, boom is no best the access for cocky announcement of lesbians, gangs and added agitator group. Celebrities who accept accommodating advocates are arch the beginning as boom enthusiasts. Even admitting these celebrities are not announcement anatomy markings, still their absolute activity has afflicted accessible assessment for boom as adequate self-expression. Truly, tattooing is no best a man's world.
If Clergy Could Bill for Weddings like Physicians
We are in the middle of a snowstorm here in Kirksville, so I'm in a bit of a silly, giddy mood. Here is another bit of humor for my clergy friends!
If Clergy Could Bill for Weddings like Physicians
by Kirkepiscatoid
Recent studies show that the average wedding has increased not only in price, but complexity, in the last four decades; unfortunately, although weddings can now run in the tens of thousands of dollars, couples still seem to think that $25 or $50 slipped in the officiating clergy person's hand is sufficient payment for services rendered. This document is a more realistic breakdown of the complete gamut of services rendered by clergy in wedding participation. Clergy are encouraged to create a base fee for "unit of service" and in this billing sheet, consider the top item in each category as the "basic unit of service." As you work down the levels of each category in the Clergy Encounter Form for each category, we have provided a suggested increase in unit of service for each level of clergy encounter. Circle the units of service for each category as applicable. Then, simply add the units of service times your base fee for a single unit of service and present the bill to the happy couple, making checks payable to your discretionary fund.

If Hospice Chaplains could bill like physicians...
I got to visiting with our parish's Priest Associate via e-mail today, and we sort of got on the subject of "coding and billing," being as how her "paying job" is the local Hospice chaplain. Evidently Medicare pays a flat rate ($120.00, it appears) for "per diem" Hospice service. We got to talking about how it's too bad she doesn't get to bill like physicians. So in the spirit of a post I did a while back on "Eucharistic Coding and Billing," here's how I'd break up Hospice chaplain billing for Medicare!
Hospice Chaplain Coding and Billing
(by Kirkepiscatoid)
Here's how we could build in "Level of Service" if only the government would take the cue that hospice chaplains should get to bill more like physicians!
Hospice Chaplain Level of Service Billing
Instructions: For each patient encounter, choose the level of pastoral service, geographic modifier, and clinical demographic modifier that best represents the normal and customary level of service provided in the patient encounter. Remember: For proper reimbursement, level of service must be documented in hospice chaplain notes.
Pastoral Service codes:
_____P66601: Talked with patient but did not pray with patient
_____P66602: Prayed with patient (e.g., comatose, unresponsive) but did not talk with patient
_____P66603: Talked and prayed with patient
_____P66604: Provided Eucharistic services with liquid substance other than wine with at least 10% alcohol content
_____P66605: Provided Eucharistic services with wine containing at least 10% alcohol content
_____P66606: Patient died before arrival of chaplain; discussions/prayer with family
_____P66607: Funeral planning with input from not-quite-dead-yet patient
_____P66608: Funeral planning with patient already dead
_____PS6600: Level of pastoral service not otherwise specified (provide documentation)
Geographic Modifier Codes:
_____GPS001: Usual and customary ability to find patient's house
_____GPS002: Difficulty finding patient's house (e.g., faulty directions, missing road signs/street signs, very remote location)
_____GPS003: Got hopelessly lost finding patient's house, requiring use of cell phone
_____GPS004: Got hopelessly lost finding patient's house, requiring use of cell phone, in "dead cell phone" area
_____GPS005: Visit required extraordinary vehicular measures (e.g., studded snow tires, four wheel drive)
_____GPS006: Chaplain got stuck en route to visit
_____GPS000: Other geographic modifier not otherwise specified (provide documentation)
(NOTE: A 10% PENALTY exists on GPS code billing if chaplain is female and visit requires being chauffeured by a male. A 10% BONUS exists if chaplain is male and visit requires being chauffeured by a female, as most male chaplains would not admit this.)
Clinical Demographic Modifiers:
_____CH23001: Pastoral services provided to under 4 total family members in room, in addition to patient
_____CH23002: Pastoral services provided to 4 or more family members in room, in addition to patient
_____CH23003: Patient divulges deep dark family secret under the influence of narcotics during visit
_____CH23004: Chaplain breaks up verbal altercation between relatives
_____CH23005: Chaplain breaks up physical altercation between relatives
_____CH23006: Living arrangements for patient has worse than usual smells or sights associated with typical dying patient or typical home
_____CH23007: Family member "hits on" chaplain, desiring inappropriate psychological, financial, or physical relationship
_____CH23008: Chaplain visit occurs while patient, spouse/significant other and object of covert romantic relationship are all in the same room
_____CH23000: Other clinical history modifier not otherwise specified (provide documentation)

Tattoos Of Stars
Tattoos Of StarsTattoos of stars are generally connected with masculine groups but the powerful emotions of strength and unity are also very strong among lesbians who have now also adopted the star tattoo and tailored the design to their identity. The most commonly used tattoos of stars are the 4 and 5 pointed designs, but also Moon and Star designs are also popular and can look more feminine
