    I once got a call from ‘Verizon’ that they have a new service which would reduce my long distance charge.

    The guy stated that its a mandatory change, only that since this new law just passed verizon did not have time to mail out notices..

    At first I said OK, so they then transferred me to a verizon rep which told me that this company had nothing to do with Verizon and is a private company.

    I told him that I am not interested, they then transferred me back to this ‘company’ I told him that this sounds like a scam. He called his supervisor, she repeated this entire nonsense. about this mandatory stuff.

    I told her that if this is the case, than why call me, if its mandatory then do it without my consent, if not than have a great day. she started talking about fines and fees if I dont consent, I just told her to have a great day.

    So now it has changed to a few sitting out from official kiddush clubs.

    I have not met an official kiddush club in any mainstream chassidishe shull.

    I cannot recall seeing any cake in a shull during davening, OK maybe when there is a kiddush, they would bring it out at the end of mussaf.

    I have davened in plenty of chasiddishe shulls, yet I have never been at a kiddush club. yes, I dont go to those near off chasidishe shulls..

    Any decent and serious chasiddishe shull has no ‘events’ going on during davening.

    You mentioned coffee, although coffee is not the subject here, I will agree that this is an ‘issue’ in a lot of chassidishe shull, but it is not an event, it only takes a few minutes to drink a coffee and is no way a social gathering.

    This is not true, I have been to plenty Chassidishe shuls, I have not seen any eating and drinking while davening. especially not in any mainstream chasiddishe shul.

    So lets put it this way, it is rare to have a kiddush club in a chasidishe shull. (unless its a near off chasiddishe or tuna beigle shull..)

    XPS 12 is great, takes just a few seconds to power up.

    the screen flips around so it becomes a tablet.

    Has touch screen.

    i have three laptops, I only use the xps 12.

    I just wish that they would have it in a larger size screen.

    Health, some do and some do not.

    Doulas usually are NOT trained to deliver, Paramedics and EMTs are trained to deliver and resuscitate the newborn if needed, resuscitate is what they do on a normal basis.

    Midwives call us to be on standby in case there are any complications. .

    DaMoshe,

    I dont know how you can compare the Husband driving to a doula.

    I have heard a shiur in which the posek stated that there is no heter for a doula to drive, she may go along with the patient. unless the patient specifies that she really wants THIS doula and she really needs it. Otherwise the doula may not be mechallel shabbos.

    On a side note, doulas can get in the way especially if the delivery happens at home the doulas think that they are as qualified as the medics and usually act nastily towards the medics and EMTs. I have experienced this more than once.

    I think that Doulas are instead of Mommy..

    There are some Jewish Doulas that travel to a patient on Shabbos, some even go long distance, I really do not know how that is permitted.

    When I was taking my road test, the instructor told me to parallel park into a tight parking spot (well, tight according to abilities at the time).

    I messed up with the parking, I was to close to the car in front and two close to the curb.

    Knowing that touching the curb or the car would make me fail the test, I was at a loss.

    So I started inching my way, one inch forward, turn the wheel, then one inch back. I repeated this for around 5 or ten minutes until I finally was parked.

    I was sure that I failed, however the instructor said that there is no time limit and since I managed to park I passed the test!

    You might want to wait untill the 2014 models are released, should be around September.

    I hate the fact that Toyota has such long life cycles. And their ‘all new’ is just a minor appearance change.

    I do like their quality though.

    Since he put himself in public spot light and is working towards having a following, I think that I should state my opinion about him.

    No license is required to criticize his doings.

    If they are doing something wrong, they should be called out for it, threatening that they will leave should not be a reason to just ignore it.

    VM,

    I mean a mixed event, he sings at mixed simchas. Mixed Shabatons.

    BTW, I am not referring to mixed seating, rather mixed dancing.

    He has no regard for halacha. I am so happy that he started ‘fixing’ his beard and dresses up not chassidish, so that no one mistakes him for just another chasidishe entertainer.

    The rule in his shull is that there is no rules. .

    I dont think that you can compare him with any other performer.

    He has a following, he calls himself a Rav.

    And besides, because he is a performer does not mean that he can be called out for doing something wrong.

    fkelly, why should I keep it to myself, he is the one that is going public and is seeking our attention.

    It is not me agreeing with him or not, however he is making a mockery our of yiddishkeit, he calls himself a rav and leads a congration, however in truth he is making a chillul hashem.

    I agree that he went deep a long time ago, however there still were a lot of people that were buying the notion that he was doing it for the sake of making people happy.

    But by now I think that normal people realize that this person is someone that will do anything just to get attention.

    Maybe, but unlikely.

    Since that would have been the factor of not providing CPR, she would have either mentioned it to the dispatcher, or she would have told that to someone.

    This was not the reason she stated on why she refused to let the dispatcher talk to someone else.

    in reply to: Nurse Refused To Initiate CPR, What Is Your Opinion? #938854

    No

    This will only help in a hospital, since in a hospital setting (same is with nursing home) the DNR does not have to be present, it can be on file or noted on the patients medical records.

    In a pre-hospital setting such as an assisted living facility or private residence, the actual DNR document has to be present, otherwise it is not valid.

    Rescuers are not allowed to assume or believe anyone that this person has a DNR until they actually see it.

    Health, it does not make sense that she should be aware of the DNR, I believe that there are more than three residents living in the facility. what business is it for the nurse if the person has a DNR or not so that she should be aware of this.

    I think that you are to say something that is far fetched.

    The reason she gives the dispatcher for not handing over the phone to anyone else in the room is because they do not know how to do CPR.

    Other than that she keeps on going in circles.

    When asked if she cares about the PT, she states yes, when asked so dont you help the PT, she replies that this is why she is calling 911.

    I have attended many codes in similar facilities. Never has any of the staff had any knowledge if the PT has a DNR or not.

    What I meat, is that most of their products arent something ‘new’. its just a revised version of a different product.

    They stopped coming out with new product, they just change it, add a phone or change the size and its a new product.

    Other companies are jumping ahead and coming up with better and newer products.

    Interesting, she did not mention this to the 911 operator, nor is this mentioned as a factor on why she did not start CPR.

    She had a few other reasons for not doing CPR. none had anything to do with the PT having a DNR.

    I think that they only came out with one brilliant product, the iPod.

    all the other products are the same, either its bigger, or it has a phone. however its an iPod.

    I dont see the other products as innovative.

    She did not mention that the PT had a DNR, and it was not present, that is why EMS did resuscitate.

    If they had a DNR then it should have been present, no DNR present CPR should not be withheld.
