As I woke up to the foresty smells of my surroundings, my immediate thought was that I was camping. I opened my eyes to a blue sky lined with trees, inhaled earthy soil, and rolled over to see myself next to Jakob Grimm.
Oh yeah. I had been a witness to murder and cannibalism, a servant to a mistress from hell, and Rapunzel for a day and rescued by the adorable man next to me, who was currently squirming and muttering in his sleep.
Not exactly a typical camping trip for me, but considering how my life had been going this summer...yeah, I'd say that's pretty normal for me.
I was now wide-awake and grinning. I tried to sit up in a flash, but was sorer than usual from sleeping on the ground. At my groan Jake jerked and slowly opened his eyes.
I could practically see the memories from last night going through his head. His eyes darted to me as if hardly daring to believe I was real. Embarrassed, I gave him a shy smile and mustered a charming "'Sup?"
He seemed to try to sit up quickly just as I had, but groaned at the soreness in his muscles. Guilt struck me as I recalled his insistence on giving me his sleeping pack for the night.
"Uh, sorry...'bout the..." I stammered over my words as he stretched and yawned in probably the adorablest way I had ever seen it done.
He blinked at me blearily with his glasses-less eyes. "No no, it's fine," he said quickly, catching on to what I meant. "See? I'm fine." He jumped up to prove his point but lurched over, grimacing. "Owww..."
I got up too, wanting to help but not knowing how. I managed to slur out a few more apologies as he began the stretching routine I recognized from the movie...you know, I don't think I was ever really going to get over the weirdness of my dryer...
When Jake stopped, he was standing much too close--at first I felt a rush at the thought that he was trying to hug me, but then I sheepishly remembered his busted glasses. Feeling like a dumbass, I stepped back a bit, as much as I didn't really want to. Heh.
"Did you have a good sleep?" Jake asked, his adorable voice cracking as he squinted at me, half his face scrunched up.
I tried not to giggle. What was it with me being so girlish lately? Damn his cuteness..."Yeah," I said lamely. "It was...uh...yeah." I felt my face redden.
"Yeah," he repeated, his face coloring a bit too. This only made me even more embarrased--yet giddy. I let out that giggle I had been trying to supress and swore under my breath, earning a quizzical look--well, squint--from Jake.
It appeared my giggle had been enough to wake Will up. "What the hell--" he muttered as he rolled over. Then he, like Jake, stared at me as if fully remembering the events of the night before. "Fat Christ," he said simply, then dropped back down with a dejected sigh.
Jake whipped around to face him, scandalized. "Will, she's standing right here!" he stage-whispered incredulously.
Will turned his head to give Jake a sardonic look that he couldn't see. "Are you confirming her existence or defending her?" he asked dryly, causing Jake to blush again.
"Sorry," he mumbled, turning back to me. "He's a little--"
"Tired of all this gallivanting around," Jake said loudly, getting up with the apparently guaranteed groan and stretching. "And now we have someone else to worry about. Joy."
So his mood hadn't improved since last night. Great. "I won't be any trouble," I told him, not really knowing what better to way to put it than that. I didn't know what they were doing specifically, right? It wasn't like I could assure him that I'd sit on the sidelines while they banished a witch or something, but I had to convince him to let me travel with them--this was just too great an opportunity to pass up!
"Of course you won't," Will said brightly, standing up and beginning to pack his things. "We're dropping you off at the next town we reach. Isn't that right, Jake?"
Jake and I both exploded into protests, mine insisting that maybe I could help them with whatever it was they were doing, his self-consciously but stubbornly informing him that I was important.
Will sighed and rolled his eyes at our twin tirades. "Alright, enough!" he shouted over us. "I've got enough of a headache already."
"Then I'll be quiet as a mouse!" I said, putting empasis by gesturing fiercely. Will glared at me, and I realized the time for fighting was over. "Sorry," I mumbled, clasping my hands behind my back.
"Look, I know we can't just leave you here in the forest," Will reasoned, pinching the bridge of his nose and squeezing his eyes shut in exasperation. "So I don't really have a problem with you coming with us...for now," he added as both mine and Jake's faces brightened momentarily.
"What if before we get to the town, I prove to you that I'm an invaluable asset?" I asked, grinning winningly as if I had just made him an offer he couldn't refuse.
Will just looked at me dryly, unimpressed. "Darling, to do that you'd have to impress the famous Brothers Grimm, hunters of evil," he stated, smirking slightly as if he had beaten me.
"Well, I think Jake's already impressed," I said bluntly. Jake, who had been rubbing the back of his neck uncomfortably at Will's not-entirely-true description of them, let out a sheepish "Huh? No! I mean, well..." I grinned at him, amused by his demeanor, and he trailed off into silence, a lopsided grin coming to his face.
"Disgusting," Will muttered. "Fine, girl, you travel with us. If, for some unthinkable reason, we find you beneficial to us--" the expression on his face showed just how unlikely he considered that to be--"you can stay with us past the next town. Though by the way..." he frowned and paused in his act of saddling up his horse. "Why exactly is it that you want so desperately to travel with us?"
"Uhh..." I said stupidly as I searched my mind for a viable explanation. "'Cause...I'm y'all's biggest fan?" I gave a goofy grin that I hoped looked endearing, shrugging a bit.
"What's 'y'all'?" Jake asked curiously.
"Probably some foreign jargon," Will said contemptously. I was about to get on him for bashing Texas but then figured it wouldn't help my case any--besides, did Texas even exist yet? Damn my history ignorance!
"Alright, I don't really care," Will was saying, jerking me out of my thoughts about Texas. "It's not like you'll be with us for long anyway."
I frowned. "Why, where's the next town?" I asked suspiciously.
"A few days away. Bremen," Jake piped up. I wondered why he hadn't been speaking much lately, but then the name of the town sparked something in the back of my mind.
"Bremen..." I said thoughtfully, furrowing my brow. "Do, like...musicians play there or something? Or is it...no...hmm..."
Will stared at me as if I were insane. Jake kinda did too, I noticed.
I jerked my head up at this realization. "Wow, I'm not helping myself stay, huh?" I offered with a too-hearty laugh. Seeing their weirded-out faces, I sighed and dropped the act. "Just ignore me, I'm a freak," I muttered, mostly to myself. From the future."No kidding," Will said dryly. Jake, however, looked a bit cautious but otherwise intrigued. The familiar giddy feeling returned, for which I was grateful. My thoughts were preoccupied with how the hell I would earn my stay with them. I was too excited by their presence to want to leave! Plus, my previous experiences had proven that when I was with "main characters," as it were, I had some pretty exciting adventures. Of course, I had been through a lot here before meeting the brothers, but still...not being with them in their world just seemed wrong.
To say the least...I got my adventure, all right!

you do what you have to if you want to prevent your daughter from being in pain. Believe me. I had this too and i wish my mom would have done something. It feels like labor pains,

Please understand that hormones are closely related to our blood sugar level as well.
If she is having irregular periods and also growth of extra body hair on back, belly, legs, arms or face, or excess body fat, she could have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
A very common thing in teenage girls.
This is often treated with BC pills.
The reason you need to find out what her blood hormones, blood sugar is,
is because this is a thing that precludes Type 2 Diabetes.
Lots of doctors use the pill to try and settle things menstrual-cycle wise first.
But in my opinion, you should first get her blood hormone levels checked along with her blood sugar levels. Ruling out damaging Type 2 Diabetes is the smartest way to go.
Especially if she is overweight in any way.

I suggest you take her to a gyn and find out WHY she's having heavy periods. I had the same issues and was put on the pill. I had a doctor later in my life tell me that putting kids on the pill is just lazy on the part of the doctor and that it's best to find the reason for the problem and treat that and not just treat the symptoms.

My GYN said it isn't too early to put girls on the pill at this age especially due to problems with their periods. Please, please don't do the Depo shot. I was on it for about a year and it sent my system into peri-menopause and I had a hysterectomy at age 34. Something about the Depo that really messes with a woman's body. Good Luck.

You might want to try a chiropractor or Nutritionist first! Sometimes foods can cause things to get worse.. Putting her on the pill may sound like an easy fix but This is happening to much now. I know calcium can help a lot with the cramps try some natural remedies first! My daughter had this for about a year and we persevered and I am glad we did! She is now 18. She plans on waiting to have sex when she gets married ....this might be something you would want for your daughter too!

My daughter sometimes has really bad cramps and I give her a midol and have put a heating pad on her belly and it seems to help.

I am a pharmacy technician and I can tell you that birth control is a very normal treatment given. Birth control pills are prescribed often to control menstrual symptoms. You should take her in to your gynecologist and discuss it..
Lori - posted on 03/26/2009
I suffered with this when I was young. Never really improved to any great degree, regardless of being on the pill in between having two children. Finally, at age 42, I had my uterus removed - and the biopsy showed I suffered with a condition known as adnemyosis - where the lining is not completely shed during cycles, and thickens into the uterine wall, eventually causing excessive growth on the exterior uterine wall as well. Can only be 100% confirmed after hysterectomy. But I digress.......certainly not something you're going to consider for your young daughter!!
I strongly urge you to consider alternative medicine as well, leaving synthetic hormonal treatment as a last resort, if possible. My younger daughter submitted saliva for kinesiology testing, and the results showed where she was inbalanced. Part of the issue for her is that she has very thick blood - and an herbal supplement helped manage this one little thing so that her cycles are not nearly so heavy or painful. She still gets crampy a bit, but it's SO much better now. Usually, one little naproxen sodium will take the edge off, and she gets through it.
Also consider a nutritionist - my daughter became a vegetarian (pro-animal-life choice, not having to do with her cycles) and became more cognizant of by-products and ingredients when label-reading. Since she's changed her way of eating, her cycles have been alot better as well - and she's lost a few pounds that she didn't need to keep!
Good luck to you - watching our children suffer is the WORST!!

I don't think I've seen this mentioned yet, so I will. She needs to see her doctor to discuss the possibility of endometriosis. (Actually, anyone who has the above symptoms needs to) Painful periods- so painful that your body can't function normally and heavy bleeding are typical symptoms. Before you put her on the pill, discuss all sypmtoms with a doctor. My experience with endo started with periods that progressively grew worse until I was nearly passing out from the pain. This is not in any way normal and should be treated immediately. Have your daughter begin a pain journal- writing down every instance of pain and the severity, along with any other symptoms (such as the bleeding) and how often they occur. Severe pain is a serious thing and should be treated as such. Best wishes to you both. Hopefully, her situation is easily treatable :)

Hi Chantel!
I had a lot of problems with pain and heavy bleeding with my periods when I was 12 and my mom had me put on the pill. It made a world of difference for me! As for her having sex...if she's gonna do it she'll do it whether or not she's on the pill...just try to maintain an open forum in that topic area and hopefully she will not feel the need to give in to sex.
I read all the replies above and have to comment on two of them....
First of all, being on the pill may or may not contribute to breast cancer, I don't know. But I do know that breastfeeding reduces the risk of breast cancer. I read a study not too long ago that said breastfeeding for 2 years (collectively) reduces your risk of breast cancer by 75% and that percentage increases dramatically with every additional year you add. I have at this point spent 4 years and 2 months breastfeeding my children (collectively and so far...I have a 2 month old that I am currently breastfeeding). This means that my chances of breast cancer are less than 10% (according to the study). This is phenominal considering that my risk was so high, having my mother and at least 3 other women in my family diagnosed with it. Having said all that, I believe that if we use our breasts for what they were intended for it reduces the risk of developing cancer in them.
Second, in regards to Depo Provera...I know that since I was on it they have obviously improved it...BUT...when I was on it I gained 17 pounds in 14 days that I could NOT lose. After the first shot I quit taking it (due to the weight) and did not get my period for nearly 3 1/2 years after. When I DID get it back it was inconsistent and irregular...sometimes it was 3 weeks, sometimes it was 17 weeks! Then I got married and we decided to have another child together (I already had two from a previous relationship). It took a full 5 years to conceive our daughter, and there was NOTHING wrong with my husband. This was extremely frustrating, considering that before taking the Depo all I had to do was think about babies and I was pregnant.
Anyway, I hope it all goes well for your daughter!
Lori - posted on 03/14/2009
Hi Chantel! I think you should seek the advise of your physician/pediatrician. My daughter also suffered from severe cramps. They were so painful she had to obtain a pelvic exam. I hope things go well for her.

hi just like you and your daughter i suffered badly when i was 10 yrs old.my mom used to give me a hot water bottle and a little indian brandy.it was'nt until i got older that i went on the depo injection.it was fab for period pains.infact it stopped them altogether,apparently quite normal.gd luck.
Charlie - posted on 03/12/2009
forget the pill,,,my daughter started hers when she was 9(just like me!)
she not only suffered pain n heavy bleeding but sickness and fatuge too.
she couldnt function properly with so much time off school ect,,
ask about the depo provera injection ,,,,,every 3 month and my daughter has had no problems for the past year!!!!

I agree that it is best to put her on the pill. That does help regulate her periods. Plus, my OBGYN told me that taking Motrin (600 mg.) every 6-8 hours helps to slow it down. I don't know what the dosage would be for her age though. My periods were heavy too, "but since I'm finished having children", I had a Nova Sure Ablasion done. That's where they burn the lining of your Uterus. I still have a period, but it really cut back on the bleeding! Try the pill! That would be best!

My daughter and myself both suffer from severe pain during our period. My doctor prescribed Ponstel which we take at the fist signs of pain during our period. It works great for both of us. A prescription of 30 goes a long way. I also put her on the pill before high school which never helped, but...she made a bad choice and had sex. We talk about sex openly and I honesly thought she was going to wait.

Our daughter's doc. is a women doc and she carefully regulates the hormone levels...so she doesn't take anything stronger than she has too. We tried a lot of different remedies but nothing worked and it was affecting all areas of her life.
Lisa - posted on 03/12/2009
You can locate a alternative doctor..they can do blood work or saliva testing to find her base level hormones ....great lab to do this the Great Smokie labs in North Carolina...once they discover her proper levels they can formulate a proper dosing of the specific hromones she needs to regulate her menses...You can also emial the lab and they will send you or your doctor the kit as well and help them read it...I worked for years with a alternative doctor...her background was MD in women's healt ..she was also a ER physician for most of her practice as well as holding a Ph.D. in molecular genetics...She really opened my eyes to dangers of birth control especially unregulated.

my daughter had irregular periods. infact she was getting it every 15 days. i consulted 2 doctors and both prescribed pills to her. she had to go on 3 courses of pills 3 months each time. now thankfully she is fine. my daughter was 10 when she started her periods ,so this pill cycle started when she was 12 . it took good 2 years for everything to settle down. we still try not to get her into very strenuous activity when she gets her periods.
Shelly - posted on 03/11/2009
There was a thread on here not to long ago that was talking about this exact thing and there was a lady on there that talked about her expieriance with the pill. She ended up with breast cancer and when she talked to her doctor about it he said you should never put a child on the pill or any other hormone b/c the pill was designed to only be used for a max. of five years it should only be used for birth control between children. She was saying that her doctor told her he sees this with women that have used birth control for more than 5 years.
Please look for the thread "Should I put my daughter on..." and read the responces find her responce and then messanger her and talk with her before you make any decitions. If any thing go talk to a naturalist at your local health food store and they can give you some ideas for a natural way of helping your daughter...But PLEASE read that thread I just think it is way to important not to...If you can't find it let me know and I will find it for you!!!

You're getting her on the pill because of her horrible periods, not so she can have sex. I wish my mom would have put me on the pill when I had horrible periods. As far as worrying about her having sex because she's on the pill, it really doesn't determine whether or not she will have sex. I had sex without the pill and got pregnant at 15...another reason my mom should've put me on the pill. Just stress the std and hiv risks if you worried about her having sex but it isn't wrong. The pill will give her some much needed relief.
Helene - posted on 03/11/2009
We put our daughter on the pill when she was 14 for similar symptoms. She was having heavy bleeding two weeks on and two weeks off for a year. We had to experiment with dosages but it is so much better now. Also we taught her all about purity and to save herself for her husband and our beliefs are strong. Talk to your doctor. Her dr. thought this was the best way and it has really helped her.

The resolutions usually start on the eve of New years day, the day when the guilt over the extra helping of christmas pudding or that awful nail biting habit you been meaning to quit starts to kick in. But like so many, by the second week of January as the store sale items dwell down to just odd socks and hair bobbles, the resolutions that were followed so religiously now don't quite have a look in.
The problem I think is that the new year brings hopes for a new beginning and a new start and instead of choosing small tasks we all tend to go big or go home! This is why The Book of YOU offers a different take on resolutions, offering not just one or two changes but 365 micro actions for a happier, healthier you.
Food, Mind, Move and Love are the categories covered, with each sub category giving a useful tip for the day, these are a few of the actions mentioned:
Food: Fill your fruit bowl- I love having fresh fruit in my bowl and love to have a variety especially for after-school so Lei can reach for fruit rather than the biscuits
Mind: Enjoy Silence- I am known to enjoy my own company and whenever I do, I often like to be quiet,letting my mind be free to be creative with my writing or ideas for my blog.
Move: Explore the neighbourhood: This year I plan to travel more and discover new places, cultures and traditions.
Love: Find kindness around you:An act of kindness can melt even the coldest of hearts and this action can make you realise just how many people are willing to be kind if you just stop and have a look. It doesn't have to be big, just something as simple as holding a door open or helping someone with a difficult task can spread positivity
There is no set way to read the book which is one of the things I loved as anything too restricting will cause me to lose interest so instead I chose a random action each day, something I will continue to do throughout the year.
One of the mind actions called for going to bed early, a real struggle of mine as I often leave everything until the last minute, resulting in late bedtimes and early rises. This action suggested getting everything ready early so that instead of fighting the need to sleep I can just fall into a peaceful well rested slumber.
The book of you has now taken pride of place on my dressing table and is my go-to for daily prompts and to help me feel positive and ready to tackle the day ahead-especially if it is a Monday!

FORT WORTH – In the mountains seven weeks ago, Texas handled everything wrong. First the Longhorns miscalculated how long they'd have to wait out a thunderstorm, and then they completely botched the calm that followed it.
But lightning apparently doesn't bother Texas anymore. Thus far, neither does the rest of the Big 12.
In the latest, most convincing example of how far they've come since their rain-soaked humiliation at BYU, the Longhorns waited out a three-hour lightning delay Saturday at Amon G. Carter Stadium and then finished off a dominating 30-7 victory over TCU early Sunday morning.
The victory was the fourth in a row for UT, which remains undefeated in conference play. Unlike in their blowout loss at BYU on Sept. 7, when they looked flustered, uninspired and inept following a two-hour weather delay, the Longhorns made sure idle time didn't lead to lackadaisical play.
"There were no false alarms," said UT quarterback Case McCoy, who passed for 228 yards and a touchdown. "When it was time to go, we were ready."
The same was true of the Longhorns (5-2, 4-0 in the Big 12) even before the rain arrived. Thanks to a turnover created by a Quandre Diggs and a perfect throw from McCoy to Marcus Johnson for a 65-yard touchdown, UT built a 17-7 lead by the middle of the second quarter.
With 6:08 remaining before halftime and lightning from an imposing line of storms closing in on the stadium, officials pulled the players off the field and cleared the grandstands. The delay began at 7:50 p.m. Play didn't resume until 10:56 p.m.
"It could've been a tough situation," McCoy said. "But we learned so much from the BYU game."
After the delay, UT's defense finished the second quarter by forcing two TCU punts, and McCoy threw a 44-yard pass to Mike Davis to set up one of three Anthony Fera field goals.
Halftime was shortened to three minutes because of the delay, and the Longhorns didn't let up. They increased their lead with a Malcolm Brown touchdown run – his second of the night – and more importantly refused to let TCU (3-5, 1-4) establish any momentum on offense.
Horned Frogs quarterback Casey Pachall played his first game since breaking his left arm Sept. 7, and he completed only 13 of 34 passes for 139 yards while being harassed by UT's imposing front line all night.
Jackson Jeffcoat and tackle Chris Whaley combined for two sacks and 4 ½ tackles for loss.
TCU's seven points were their fewest in a game since a 20-7 loss to Utah on Oct. 5, 2006.
"We were all around the ball," Jeffcoat said. "That's what (defensive coordinator Greg) Robinson wants us to do."
On offense, the Longhorns got 149 combined rushing yards from Brown and Johnathan Gray. The effectiveness of the ground game enabled McCoy to take shots down the field, and he completed four passes of at least 30 yards.
"Six months ago, you said I couldn't throw it," McCoy said.
McCoy was relieved by freshman Tyrone Swoopes for UT's last possession, a move that drew attention because it ensured Swoopes won't be eligible for a redshirt this season.
After the game, UT coach Mack Brown said he and his staff made the decision to play Swoopes because David Ash – who's been sidelined for more than a month with head injury symptoms – still hasn't been cleared to return and McCoy needs a backup.
Ash already has been ruled out for next week's game against Kansas. Swoopes didn't attempt a pass during his one drive, but he ran three times for eight yards.
"We don't know what David's situation is down the road, so we want to get Tyrone ready to go," Brown said. "What we needed him to see is that he needs to be ready."

An estate agent who rented out a house in Rugby without a 'house in multiple occupation' (HMO) licence has been fined £6,650.
Brian Williams, a sales director at an estate agents, was renting out the five-bedroomed house in Cambridge Street to nine tenants when council housing enforcement officers inspected the property in March.
Officers found a crumbling ceiling in the basement and doors and windows in need of repair.
Mr Williams had also failed to obtain an HMO licence for the property, despite officers first informing him of the regulations for HMOs following an inspection in December 2010.
Following a further inspection in June 2013, officers again informed Mr Williams he needed an HMO licence for the property - but no action was taken after he said some of the tenants were due to move out.
During a hearing at Nuneaton Magistrates Court on Monday, magistrates heard Mr Williams was receiving more than £2,000 a month in rent from the property when officers carried out the inspection.
The court was told Mr Williams rents out seven properties in Rugby - though the house in Cambridge Street was currently empty while repair work was carried out.
The 38-year-old, of Bronze Road, Cawston, pleaded guilty to renting out a house in multiple occupation without a licence and two breaches of the Management of Houses in Multiple Occupation Regulations 2006.
His defence told magistrates Mr Williams was aware of the regulations and had licences for two of the properties he rented out.
But he said Mr Williams' brother persuaded him to allow three extra tenants to move into a room for a month - bringing the total number of tenants to nine.
However, an HMO requires a licence when five or more tenants, comprising two or more households, live in a property with three storeys or more - meaning Mr Williams' property required a licence before the extra tenants moved in.
He was fined a total of £6,650 - £3,000 for each of the breaches and £650 for failing to have an HMO licence.
Mr Williams was also ordered to pay £863 costs and a £120 victim surcharge.
Speaking after the hearing, Cllr Leigh Hunt, the borough councillor responsible for sustainable inclusive communities, said: "The council has no hesitation in enforcing HMO regulations to protect the health and safety of tenants.
"Unscrupulous landlords who flout the law tarnish the reputation of the many responsible private landlords in Rugby.
"While we're keen to work with landlords to make sure properties meet the required standards, landlords also need to know we'll pursue reports of substandard accommodation and prosecute when necessary."
Landlords who need help and advice on renting out properties and HMOs should contact the council's housing enforcement team by phone on (01788) 533882 or by email: email@example.com
Tenants with concerns about a rented property can contact the team anonymously by filling in the online form at www.rugby.gov.uk/HMO.

|Please note that the registration for transcribing or proofing the census is independent from the registration to the [Automated Genealogy message board|http://static.automatedgenealogy.com/phpBB2/index.php]; these are two independent registrations.
|!How do I select a page to transcribe?
|Currently, only the 1851 New Brunswick and the 1852 Canadian census have pages requiring transcription; the 1901, 1906 and 1911 census records are now completely transcribed.
|From the 1851 New Brunswick census Home Page, please note which Districts still remain to be completed from the status page (shown in light blue). Click on the sub-district you are interested in transcribing and select any page showing '0' in the Lines column.
|From the 1852 Home page, select the desired province, then select the district you are interested in transcribing. Click on 'Pages' and select any page showing "0" in the Lines column.
|As a courtesy, where one transcriber has already started transcribing an area, it would be usually be more helpful to find another district to assist in transcribing. Many of the transcribers may have already worked on the same district in the 1901 and 1911 census projects and have a special research interest in an area and knowledge of the families in the district.
|Please note that many subdistricts in 1852 contain a page from the agricultural schedules, most commonly on the final page of the subdistrict, please do not transcribe these pages, even if they have been registered for transcription.
|Sign in and then click on the "transcribe" link for the selected page. This will display the census page image of the selected page and the data input form in a split screen format. The census page image will be displayed in the upper part in Adobe PDF format which requires the Adobe's freeware Acrobat reader.
|!!Data Input
|!How do I enter data?
|The transcription must reflect as accurately as possible the original content of the census records. No interpretation of the original content should be made in the transcription process and no extra information added in the transcription fields.
|!The enumerator has added extra information in one of the columns, how do I record it?
|Enumerators, or the clerks that tallied the data, sometimes added marks or numbers to columns. In the 1852 Census for example, one will often find Xs or other marks in the 'residence' column that indicate various things including marital status. This data does not relate to the purpose of the column, which is to record the residence if out of district limits, and should not be recorded in the residence column. Remember that the original image is only a click away so any extra information on the form is readily available there. The rule is to only transcribe data under a column if that data relates to that column.
|!Do I capitalise all letters in the surname?
|No. Transcribe information only as it appears in the original census form including capitalisation as used by the enumerator. Surnames should not be entered completely in upper case letters; it makes it very difficult and time consuming for this to be corrected later on.
|!What do I do with unreadable entries?
|If you cannot make out what is written in a census field, a single question mark "?" can be used to indicate an unreadable value. If a value is partially legible then the part that is legible should be entered and the part that is not should be represented with a question mark. If you feel you can make a reasonable guess at the characters then it is often better to enter your guess instead of a question mark.
|Here are some examples, where the asterisk '*' has been used to represent an unreadable character in the original census:
|Original ……………… Transcription
|***** …………………… ? …………………… (An entirely illegible entry is transcribed as a single question mark)
|Patt** …………………… Patt?……………… (Single or a series of illegible letters is transcribed as one question mark)
|P*tt*n ………………… P?tt?n ( Try to fill in any letters that are legible with question marks for the remaing illegible letters)
|Where the letters vaguely resemble a possible name, eg. 'Patten', transcribe the name followed by a question mark in parentheses, ie., Patten(?)
|!How do I transcribe a name that contains abbreviated given names and initials?
|Sometimes the enumerator abbreviated given names, e.g. Geo. for George. Such abbreviations should be transcribed as they appear in the original. Some enumerators put periods after initials, others did not, and some were inconsistent. The preferred transcription is to record exactly what was written in the original.
|!How do I transcribe a name that contains a title?
|In cases where the enumerator has included a title, it should be transcribed at the end of the givens name field with a comma separating the given name from the title. For example, "Wood Senator Josiah" should be transcribed surname "Wood" and givens "Josiah, Senator".
|Similarily, 'John Smith Jr.' would be transcribed, surname 'Smith' and given names John, Jr.'
|!How do I transcribe names with Mc or Mac?
|Transcribe as written by the enumerator. For the sake of consistency do not leave a space between the Mc or Mac and remainder of surname.
|Please note however, that where the enumerator has used only M instead of Mc or Mac, there is no apostrophe and it can be absolutely ascertained that it is not a middle intial, the name should be transcribed as 'M Name'.
|!How are groups with no surname handled?
|There are several cases where a group of people did not use surnames including first nation peoples and religious orders. In these cases we have elected to use an identifying keyword for the missing surname and use the single name as a given name. Some example artificial surnames are: Sister (for nuns), Inuit, Blackfoot (Tribe's name). This scheme has the added benefit that it makes it significantly easier to search the index.
|!Are there any hints for transcribing hard to read names?
|You might try [this thread|http://static.automatedgenealogy.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=8634]
|!How do I transcribe a field with a drop down menu?
|For 1852 drop down menus have been provided for Occupations, Place of Birth and Religion. You may click on the arrow next to the field and then scroll and click on the desired value or you may enter the first letter of the desired entry, eg 'E' in the place of birth field and England will be selected.
|A new feature for 1852 transcribers allows the addition of values to the drop down list for Occupation, Birth and Religion. you can add the new value to the beginning or the end of the drop down list. Please not that it is applicable to the page you are working on only. You will have to add values on each page if needed.
|If it is a value that seems to be highly recurrent, please suggest that it be added to the main menu by posting to this forum.
|Please note that the drop down menu must be in the same language as the page being transcribed in order to allow the display of the transcription in the language selected by the user and to eliminate translation errors.
|To change the language of the drop down menu, click on the desired language on the command line: "Original page enumerated in: English French" located below the transcription or proofing input form.
|!What should I do with all the ditto marks in the 1852 Census?
|There were no hard and fast rules for how enumerators used ditto marks in completing the form.
|In many cases the ditto mark ", was used to indicate that there was no value to be entered in the field, not to indicate that the information in the field on the previous line should be repeated. This field should be then be left blank.
|Transcribers must use some judgement, based on the style used by the enumerator as to whether to transcribe the previous value or leave the field empty.
|!Do I transcribe the "X" or "W" in the 'Residence if out of Limits' of 1852 census?
|In the 1852 census, you will find that marital status shown on the accompanying schedule was informally duplicated on the page you are transcribing in the 'Residence if out of Limits' column just left of 'Age'. This duplication was done by the statistician to ease their tasks. Do Not record this information.
|!What about where the enumerator has used the word 'ditto'?
|This does indicate that the value from the previous line for that field should be used.
|Please do not enter 'ditto'.
|!What do I do with crossed out lines?
|If a line is filled in and then crossed out, enter the values for the line and use the note link next to the line in the table below the input form to add a line note indicating the line was crossed out. If there was a note on the original form such as "dead" include that in the line note comment.
|!Do I transcribe the "F" in the place of birth of the 1852 census?
|The place of birth should be transcribed as written including the "F" when it is not part of the drop down menu. (i.e. "Bas Canada F" is not the same as "Bas Canada".)
|!What do I do with blank lines?
|If a line is left blank all values for that line (except the line number!) should be left blank; please do not add a line note added stating that the line is blank. It is preferable for blank lines to be represented as empty fields rather than apparently missing. All blanked lines in a page must be transcribed so each page has a minimum of 50 lines. This is used as an indication that the transcription of a page is complete.
|To add the extra blank lines, ensure that all the fields are empty except for the line number and repeatedly press the "Enter" key as many times as necessary.
|!I missed a line doing a page, how do I correct this mistake?
|Providing that you skipped a line entirely you can just add the missing line, they do not have to be added in order.
|If you entered subsequent lines with the wrong line number then the line numbers need to be edited.
|!How is a line note used?
|Line Notes are used to add a comment when a line is struck out, contains comments or other information that is not easily captured in the standard fields such as notes in the margin of the page.
|Line notes should not be used to capture the data in the fields of the census that is not transcribed or to submit corrections to transcription errors.
|Line Notes are attached to a line number, not to the individual listed on that line. Please remember that if you change a line number, the note will remain attached to the line number originally affected by the note.
|!How do I edit or delete a line?
|Go to the data input page and click on "Display Page" below the data input form. The transcribed lines from the page will be displayed with the "Edit" and "delete" commands at the end of each line.
|!What do I do with a duplicate page?
|Report duplicate pages to the administrator at [Questions and comments directed at the site admin|http://static.automatedgenealogy.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=5]. Be sure to completely identify both pages which you believe to be a duplicate of one another and which page should be deleted (census year, province/territory, district, sub-district number, and page number).
|!Are there any suggestions to help me read a poor quality image?
|First, try enlarging the image using the view command on the Acrobat toolbar. Sometimes viewing the image at a higher magnification, or as a negative, helps. These techniques are available by downloading the image in MrSid format and then open it in an external graphics viewer such as IfranView: This will allow you to magnify and see in negative plus use limited image improvement tools. If all else fails, and you have the time and energy, try copying a small problem piece of the image into a high quality graphics program where you can use major image improvement tools.
|!What do I do with errors in the original Census Form?
|Where the enumerator has made a spelling error in a name or one of the other values seems to be in error, the transcription must reflect the information entered by the enumerator. For an error in the surname, the proper spelling can be provided for the first family member listed through the use of a surname note, which will ensure these individuals are included in the search result. For an error in the given name, gender, or age, an off-line birth record could be added, including its bibliographical reference.
|!How Do I Claim a Page?
|You must be signed on to be able to record your claim on a census page. Click the "Claim Page" link below the input form. Your stored credit allows you to be the only person able to transcribe and edit that page as well as being identified as the transcriber.
|Please note that by claiming a page you are also committing to return to make corrections as required. If you enjoy transcribing, but do not wish the long-term responsibility for correcting the work, then you may wish to leave the page unclaimed.
|Please do not claim a page where you do not intend to transcribe all the names and data. Where pages are not completed by the original transcriber within a reasonable amount of time, any claim will be removed and other volunteers will eventually complete the transcription.
|Where you intend to complete a page, it is usually a good idea to claim it as you start to work on them. This will prevent others from thinking they have been abandoned.
|!!Submitting Corrections
|!What if I find an error in the original census?
|If the error is in the original census document:
|- a surname note provides an alternate surname spelling and allows the members of this family to be identified in the result of a search done on this alternate spelling. When entering a surname note, indicate if it applies to the entire family or only to this individual. Also, please include the bibliographical reference to the source that corroborates the surname provided, and if applicable, add an associated note.
|You will find much more information on this at [Surname Notes|http://automatedgenealogy.com/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=SurnameNotes]
|-for a discrepancy in the given name, gender, and/or date of birth - an online or offline birth record link is the preferred way to annotate the correct information.
|!What do I do if I find an error in the transcription?
|If you find an error in the index, the first thing to do is to absolutely determine whether the error is in the original data or in the transcription. Our policy is to transcribe the data as recorded in the original, even if the original is in error. We use different mechanisms to deal with errors in the original than for correcting the transcription. For a transcription error a correction can be submitted, for an error in the original we add notes and links to sources that give other information.
|If the error is in the transcription, you can submit your suggested corrections as follows for each of the different census projects:
|!How do I submit a correction for the 1852 Census?
|If you are a registered volunteer you can submit an error from the "split view" page. Click on the "Correct" link next to the line with the error. This link will only appear if you signed on.
|If you are not a registered volunteer you can post to the [1852 Forum|http://static.automatedgenealogy.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=16]. Please describe the error including its location (province, district name, enumeration district number, page number, and line number) in your posting to this forum. A volunteer will view the original and either enter enter a suggested correction note or a line note, as appropriate.
|!What if I find find an error in the 1901 Census?
|Please make sure the error is not in the original census. One of the most common errors is the misspelling of a name by the original enumerator. The index reflects the historical document and cannot be modified to suit our beliefs of what "should be" there, so these errors must be left as they are.
|In come cases the transcriber made an error interpreting the enumerator's handwriting or a simple typo and we encourage you to report this type of error so it can be corrected. To report an error on a page look for some red text near the top of the page with a link in the middle:
|-> If you find a transcription error on this page please use the proof page to verify the error is in the transcription and not the original, and then report it.
|Click on the link and follow the instructions. There is a link to detailed help at the top of the proof page if you should need it.
|!How do I submit a correction for the 1911 Census?
|You will find the information you require at [1911 Specific Documentation| http://automatedgenealogy.com/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=1911SpecificDocumentation]
|!Should I submit a surname correction for every family member?
|No. When the transcriber accepts a surname correction, they are presented with a list of transcribed household members with the surname for which a correction was submitted. With this list, the transcriber is presented with the option to either "Change surname for all the listed records" or "Change surname for only the highlighted record", therefore surname corrections need only to be submitted for the head of household.
|Only if another correction is also required to another line is it recommended to include the surname correction so that when the corrections are applied, the regular administrative 'sweep' will delete all the implemented corrections.
|In other words when submitting a correction, it is better to include the corrections to all the fields that needs to be corrected.
|!How do I become a Proofer for 1901?
|Just click on 'proof' on the page you want to review. Compare each and every line with the image data and click on any item that does not reflect what was originally transcribed. When you have reviewed all 50 lines on the page, click on 'I have completed proofreading of this entire page' at the top of the data entry portion of the page.
|Note that for 1911, it is possible to have two proofers per page.
|!How do I become a Proofer for 1911?
|For 1911, you need to be registered and signed on to proof pages. Once you have done this, the 'proof' function will appear on the sub-district page summary.
|Just click on 'proof' on the page you want to review. Compare each and every line with the image data and click on 'correct' at the end of the line if you find data that does not reflect what was originally transcribed. You can make changes to all fields as required and submit only once for each line. When you have reviewed all 50 lines on the page, click on 'claim proofreader credit for this page page' at the bottom of the data entry portion of the page.
|!What is linking?
|Linking creates joined entries for a person who is identified at least twice in one or more databases. An example would be a person who is in both the 1901 and 1911 Canada Censuses, or a person who is in a Canada Census and another Canadian Government database such as "Home Children (1869-1930)" or "Soldiers of the First World War (1914-1918)".
|At the far right of each line when using the 'View' page function, you will find the Link Centre icon which will allow you to link individuals in this census to an increasing list of records. Select the record you wish to link to and then use the 'search' function for that database to search for the match.
|For much more information on linking or to report any problems, please go [here|http://static.automatedgenealogy.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=9&sid=41acc8c919bf18318d8d4642c1de7e73]
|!How do I create Links for marriage records?
|The following is a step-by-step procedure to link two or more individuals to a non census marriage record.
|In order not to create two marriage records, one for the bride and one for the groom, the procedure to link both the bride and groom to one marriage record is as follows:
|# Create the offsite marriage record and add it to the link centre
|# Add the groom to the Link Centre
|# Select the groom record and the marriage record
|# Link selected records
|# Add the bride to the Link Centre
|# Select the bride record and the marriage record
|# Link selected records.
|If you have an existing marriage record linked to only one of the bride or groom:
|# Sign on to the record centre
|# Bring up the Associated Records where it is already linked
|# Click on the little icon next to the title in the marriage record to add the record to the link centre
|# Add the record it isn't linked to
|# Select the marriage record and the other record
|# Link selected records
|Alternately go to the site home page and use the offsite marriages link to find the record and use the icon to add it to the link centre, and then link it as before.
|!How do I make the best use of the transcribed Index for 1901?
|You can find instructions for researching names [here|http://automatedgenealogy.com/census/Introduction.html]
|!How do I locate a Place Name in the 1901 census?
|Information on how to locate place names can be found at[Locating A Place in the Census|http://automatedgenealogy.com/census/Locating.html]
|!!System Related Questions
|!Is access free and will it remain free when the index is complete?
|Yes, access to the data as currently provided on the site is free and will continue to be free. If the site becomes too expensive to maintain the data will be given to someone who can continue to provide it for free.
|The model for the transcription project relies on everyone deriving a benefit. Everyone benefits from free access to the index and that is what motivates volunteers to provide free labour. Automated Genealogy benefits from publicity and good will, and by having more data to perform automated searches on. It will never be in our best interest to try to revoke access as that would make us a pariah in the genealogical community. We think the census indexing projects are an exciting illustration of how internet technology can allow people to cooperate and collaborate on a scale that just wasn't possible in the past.
|!Who owns the data the volunteers create?
|The transcribed data is owned by AutomatedGenealogy and is Copyrighted 2005. The data usage right authorisation was given at no cost for non-commercial use.
|!I get an error message. What have I done wrong?
|Nothing, most likely.
|The main reason for an error message is a time-out. This results from trying to access a Web site when it is either too busy to respond in a timely manner or is off-line. The Web site can either be automatedgenealogy.com, Library and Archives Canada, or any other site associated with the link that you clicked. Click your browser back button and try again. If after a few tries, you still aren't successful, then the site is most likely temporarily down. Retry in an hour or so.
|Scheduled down times of the automatedgenealogy.com site are usually posted on the [What's New at AutomatedGenealogy.com|http://static.automatedgenealogy.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=2&sid=df655b9baa5ed8fb0b2846458300f0d6] forum on the Bulletin Board.
|!What do I do if the census image does not appear on the screen?
|The most common reason for a census image not being displayed is that the Library and Archive Canada site is temporarily off-line: in this case, verify if the required census image can be displayed directly from their site: loaded directly from the 1852 Census. If the image does not appear, it confirms that the Library and Archive Canada site is temporarily down, therefore retry at a later time.
|In some cases, when people have upgraded their computers, it may be necessary to reload Adobe Acrobat in order to have the images load properly.
|!What do I do if I only get a partial view of the page for 1901?
|Try the large image split screen link?
|If you add &columns=3 onto the end of the split screen URL you will normally get the complete page.
|The following is an example of what will be displayed:
|Showing only the top frame of the split view:
|!I have a question that is not in the FAQ, what do I do?
|You can post your question on the [Automated Genealogy message board|http://static.automatedgenealogy.com/phpBB2/index.php] and the administrator and volunteers will do their best to provide an answer.

Who are you ladies using for a cake in Playa del Carmen for Grand Coral? I have yet to finalize the bride and groom's cake and I am hoping to tackle that next.. Any ideas?
Posted 24 January 2013 - 08:52 AM
Vianney- Maria suggested our cake vendor and she works with them all the time and we got a great price! If you want to ask her

Thanks! She had gotten me a great price, but by the time we got back to making a contract, that cake lady took a new job and will be working for a hotel now? Maybe she is taking her existing orders, but not new ones.
Maria has located another person in Playa for me, however, I don't have the prices yet. She is working on getting them now. I got prices from a lady in Cancun, but her rates per slice are a bit outrageous and her transportation fee is ridiculous too...
Posted 24 January 2013 - 10:20 PM
Thanks for the suggestions. I think my guests are interested in an all inclusive resort. We are trying to keep the costs for our guests to a minimum.. in hopes of more guests being able to come! We have looked at iberostar, barcelo, dreams riviera cancun, now sapphire and now jade. We haven't decided just yet.
Have you girls looked at the contract with the Grand Coral Beach Club? I am concerned because the contract that I am looking over right now has a sentence about no fireworks and no music past 68 db. I have asked around and the music of 68db is not loud at all. Do you know anything about this?
Also, I have no idea about Cakes yet, all I know is that I met with some wedding coordinators at some of the chain hotels and their cake prices were crazy! I got a quote from a bakery for $395 for a cake for 100 ppl.. Is that a competitive price? I'm not that far along on my research yet.
Happy Planning!

PUTRAJAYA: The signing of the service agreement between the Everly Group, a hotel service provider, and Telekom Malaysia Berhad (TM ) on Friday sees the elevation and improvement of high-speed internet services as well as in-room television entertainment for Everly and Prescott hotel guests.
Under the agreement entitled 'Provision of Hospitality Entertainement Solution (HES)', all hotels under the Everly Group will receive TM's latest ICT and entertainment package comprising of in-building broadband solution (IBS), HyppTV or IPTV service and a call centre powered by TM's high-speed broadband (HSBB) network connectivity.
Signing on behalf of Everly was its Managing Director Dennis Tan while Telekom was represented by its Executive vice President (SME) Azizi Hadi.
The signing which took place at the Everly Hotel Putrajaya here also saw the Everly Group becoming the first hotel chain to subscribe to TM's HES for all its eight hotels namely Everly Hotel Putrajaya, Parkcity Everly Hotel at Miri and Bintulu, Everly Resort Hotel Melaka as well as Prescott Hotels at Medan Tuanku (Kuala Lumpur), Kuala Lumpur Sentral, Kajang and Klang.
According to TM, the solution is exclusively targeted at the hospitality industry players such as hotel businesses, retreat owners, resort owners or operators, hospitals, apartments, condominiums and any high tenancy buildings that require wired or wireless internet access and uninterrupted TV viewing.
Speaking at the event, Azizi said the agreement indicates a significant change for Malaysian SMEs involved in the hospitality industry.
"This comprehensive solution is specifically developed to elevate the hotel guest's experience and also to ease hotelier's technical management concerns as the solution provides HSBB internet via TM's connectivity, world class entertainment via HyppTV as well as 24-7 call centre and customer support".
"In short, the hotel can focus on what it does best which is providing convenience and hospitality to their patrons and let TM do the rest" commented Azizi.
Azizi added that the provision of high-speed internet access is in line with TM's 'business made easier" aspiration to become the preferred communications and complete solutions partner to SMEs throughout the country.
Also present at the signing was Parkcity Everly Hotel Miri's Manager Mok Pin Chuan.

The effort is, in part, to complete his Eagle Scout project, an extensive community service endeavor. If executed successfully, McGuthry will earn the highest honor a Boy Scout can achieve.
The other part of McGuthry's choice to take on this project stems simply from the kindness in his own heart. "I really wanted to help the soldiers out, make them feel welcome when they come home," he said.
"I'm putting the care packages in the soldiers' quarters where they'll be staying when they get back," McGuthry explained. "I'll be collecting some food items, such as some candy and snacks for their enjoyment, and some beverages, such as Coke or Gatorade, along with some comic books, playing cards, and most importantly, letters thanking them for their service."
Neighbors in the community are encouraged to write these letters and send them to McGuthry's home (please see address below) for inclusion. "To say 'thank you for your service and all that you do' … definitely an extremely positive message," said the Scout. "Anything to really cheer up the soldiers. And I'd especially like letters from young children. They can draw pictures if they wish."
Donations of playing cards, snacks, and beverages will also be accepted. McGuthry said, however, that the letters of support and money (which he will use to buy food items) are most needed. He stressed that 100 percent of all monetary donations will be used for the soldiers.
The packages are designed especially for single soldiers who won't have the comfort of being around family upon their return.
As to why he chose to focus on these soldiers in particular, McGuthry explained, "They aren't allowed to drive for a period of time when they come back, so I figure the single soldiers are the ones that really have the hardest time when they first arrive because they don't have the family unit coming over to help them. They're coming from a completely different time zone, too … and the letters are really the thing that I think would make the soldiers feel the best."
The avid pianist and physics enthusiast hopes to create 150 care packages over the next few months. Packages will be assembled with the help of family and other scouts. He will deliver them to Hunter Army Airfield to coincide with the return of troops from overseas.

Help fight cystic fibrosis or just learn more about it at the cystic fibrosis foundation website, www.cff.org and help give my little guy a better future.
Cat looks familiar, but I can't remember who I think she looks like or where I thought I've seen her before. Maybe it was the ads for Joe M 2?
Help fight cystic fibrosis or just learn more about it at the cystic fibrosis foundation website, www.cff.org and help give my little guy a better future.
Cat looks familiar to me too. Plus with that pose, I am guessing "model".
Anique looks the best to me out of this bunch.
"George Oscar Bluth II, aka GOB, featured magician in the best selling videotape, "Girls With Low Self Esteem" invites you to enter his world.

one word...WOW to all. Much lovlier than last year.
Quinn's early favorite: Anique
btw: if any of these girls are from lesser developed countries, $18,000 a year might seem like 80 million to them? even in some european countries, $18,000 is a healthy living-- so i expect there to be a few non money grubbers in the group...
Yeah, ole Joe would just have to offer them some chocolate bars, toilet paper, blue jeans and pantyhose and he'd be in like Flynn.Originally Posted by QuinntheEskimo
I doubt these girls are from Belarus.
They probably picked them from well enough developed countries. A lot of them sound Swedish, French or Russian to me.
Annique and Cat are the picks from this group. Alessia looks a little, well, slutty. And I'm not going for Giada.
My thoughts exactly John.
Giada has that "I'll cut your frickin' head off" look.
Alessia has pretty eyes...Cat is giving me a Heidi vibe!

… welcome to my ♥ …
Flo's Heart Opening Moments, the Blog of a Spiritual Stripper is a journey from Self-Realization into the path of Self-Actualization – from awakening to fully embodying the Awakened Life itself.
Self-Realization is to wake up to the truth of what we are by removing layers and layers of pretense we used to shield ourselves. Only by stripping away the layers of untruth and shedding our make-believe protections one by one are we able to find true freedom – the freedom of being who we truly are — naturally, fearlessly, and effortlessly.
It is my hope to walk besides you and speak to you a friend – with sincerity and love. I hope my journey can bring a certain comfort to your own journey – let's share, we can laugh together, shed tears together, and we share our deepest feelings together uncensored – I hope I can bring you a candle to help you light your own.
"Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it." – Rumi

Tschimperle headed to state speech meet
New Prague High School senior Matt Tschimperle is headed to the state Class AA speech contest Friday at Bloomington Jefferson High School.
Tschimperle placed first in Storytelling at the Section 2AA festival April 2 at Mankato West High School. In Storytelling, students familiarize themselves with 15 stories chosen for that year's competition, prepare introductions to each story and then learn shortly before the competition which story they will be delivering in a random draw.
This is Tschimperle's first trip to the state meet. He just missed going last year, placing fourth.

Right, my point was that upstream expressly moved away from that ability, which means, if combined with the other "only if in upstream" statements, the Debian kernel will only ever be built with one LSM. Now, don't get me wrong, I'd hugely prefer there be an __init-like way to handle this, and it actually touches on the constification work too. Still, blocking until the feature exists seems unfun. :) Thanks, -Kees -- Kees Cook @debian.org

The NHS is a huge organisation that employs well over a million people. Inevitably, things will sometimes go wrong: the management and staff are only human. Most people would sympathise with employees who find themselves under enormous pressure, which may well affect the quality of their decision making. Nevertheless, when it comes to dealing with the health of the nation, errors must be identified swiftly and resolved.
Today, The Sunday Telegraph discloses a serious problem with the management of resources. It is astonishing to discover that some locum doctors are being paid up to £3,000 per shift by hospitals desperately short of staff in over-stretched Accident and Emergency units. In 2013, the bill for hiring locum doctors (which includes fees to agencies) reached almost £250 million, new figures suggest.
Paying such huge amounts to plug gaps was only supposed to happen in moments of crisis, but our investigation confirms that it has become a matter of routine in some NHS trusts. The problem is a mix of poor management and a national shortage of consultants, something that the Government obviously needs to address because failure to invest in recruitment is forcing trusts to spend exorbitantly on locums instead – a decidedly false economy. Of course, the need for more doctors is itself a product of the rising burden on A&E, which many people use simply because they cannot get an appointment with a GP. And the ring-fencing of the health budget, a Coalition promise, has led to a squeeze on social care. For want of a handrail, for instance, accidents will happen and result in a trip to A&E.
Meanwhile, another horrific story shows how bad decision-making could be costing lives. A total of 12 families are now taking legal action against Bristol Royal Hospital, where as many as 20 children died or suffered extreme after-effects following cardiac treatment. On Friday, Sir Bruce Keogh, the country's most senior doctor, met parents who told him that sometimes there were so few nurses available to care for their children that they were forced to clean up vomit, monitor oxygen levels and administer medicine by themselves. In one particularly distressing case, a baby boy's operation was delayed five times in one week. Only when he was deemed an "emergency" was he operated on. He died a few hours later, following complications.
Sir Bruce thanked this newspaper for helping to expose the scandal, for having "identified and brought to light the failings at Bristol". He also said that the NHS sometimes fails to support people when things go wrong; all too often, patients with grievances are treated in a bureaucratic, cold manner. Sir Bruce said, rightly, "We cannot just say 'sorry, we've done our best' and move on."
The good news is that there is a growing push for transparency in the NHS. For instance, the Government is working to release league tables of performance that should not only highlight failures, but also encourage study of best practice. The health service needs to look at itself honestly and rigorously. It cannot continue to fall back on comforting myths about it being "the envy of the world". Failure to get things right – to maintain adequate levels of staffing and to manage that staff well – can be a matter of life and death.

|Oracle FAQ
|Your Portal to the Oracle Knowledge Grid
Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Re: dbms_stats / 9204
Thanks for your answer. I did not know about 919 block limit. It makes sense
in my case that when i sample 5 , 10 , 20 , 40 or compute the index stats is
gathered only for a certain percentage of blocks. I have 2 tables of 40 and
90 mil rows where gather stats samples less than 1% . I am on oracle 9204
and sun solaris 32 bit version.
I have another prod server where the estimate % is what i asked for. When i sample 5 , 10 ,20 , 40 or compute it exactly does 5,10,20, 40 or compute. This is the same version and same os. Incase of index on not null columns only if 1million rows are indexed out of 20 million rows then it sample 5% of 1 million. This puzzles me. It works on one server and not on other.
Also i dont know how many people are using dbms_stats in 9204. I see quite a few bugs logged against this package.
One more bug is dbms_stats is slower when using parallelism >1 which i feel is critical when you can actually make use of parallelism to gather stats faster on big tables.
I hope somebody who is using it on 9204 posts some more information about their experiences.

Tim Sherwood, Tottenham's "Player-Manager" in Disguise, Is the Club's X-FactorFebruary 9, 2014
LONDON — He kicks every ball, contests every decision and celebrates every goal as if kitted out in studs and shorts himself. Match officials are subjected to 90 minutes of questioning, harrying and screaming if the decisions aren't going his way, and his howls of anguish blend in seamlessly with a noisy White Hart Lane crowd.
Tim Sherwood is Tottenham Hotspur's player-manager in disguise, and at this point he appears more the former than the latter when in the thick of battle pitchside.
He's a big influence in a team challenging for fourth place in the Premier League, and Sunday's win over Everton outlined his value to a side who looked like flunking the 2013-14 season under Andre Villas-Boas just a few short months ago.
He stands, quite literally, on the pitch. Forget the technical area—he'd repaint it if you gave him the brush—Sherwood perches with his toes over the touchline when the ball is on the opposite side to the dugout.
He retrieves wayward passes and restarts play via throw-ins quickly, and on no fewer than four occasions told the ball boy to sit down while he fetched the ball himself during this weekend's tussle.
When referee Mark Clattenburg gave a 50/50 decision in favour of Everton midway through the second half, Sherwood screamed in anguish, turned to his right and punted six Lucozade bottles that were lying a few feet away.
It was only after play had resumed—and several minutes had passed—that Sherwood realised he'd sprayed Martinez in the process and apologised in earnest.
When Emmanuel Adebayor scored Spurs' winner against Everton, he leapt high in the air; upon the final whistle confirming yet another victory, he bellowed with joy.
It's reminiscent of Martin O'Neill's touchline antics at Villa Park, but served with more grit, attitude and feistiness—and minus the injury complex that cruelly cut the Ulsterman's career short.
His response to the first question of the post-match press conference, "How was that for you?" told the whole story. "Awful," he replied with a wry smile, shifting in his seat, then launched into a volley of words, outlining his (genuine) feelings on the game.
"I don't understand why we start so slowly; we always start so slowly," he bemoaned. I want them to move the ball quicker, play with bravery, take a few risks."
"I want to play risky football," he reiterated before the next question could land.
The contrast between his conference and Roberto Martinez's—in which the Everton boss spoke in a measured, reserved tone in both English and Spanish—was absolutely startling. You can't question the commitment and passion either have for the game, but Sherwood gives off the aura of a man who just completed 90 minutes in the heart of Spurs' midfield, not stand there and watched it play out before him.
In the first half Spurs were very slow, with Everton carving out several strong chances and winning the tactical duel in midfield. The second period saw a different Lilywhites side come to play, and it was far more assertive in attack.
Sherwood admitted he sat his players down at half-time and told them, calmly, what he wanted them to do differently. They went out and did it, and for that he was visibly delighted.
He's got their trust, and, perhaps more importantly, their backs. He's a warrior on the touchline at White Hart Lane and an infectious influence, and his presence truly comes to the fore in the flesh.
To some he comes across as brash and perhaps arrogant, but his intentions are pure and the players respond to him. That's more than can be said for AVB, and as long as Sherwood has the dressing room, Spurs can roll onward and upward.
Sherwood's career at Spurs may be new to many, but he's been with them for a long, long time behind the scenes. He's developed a passion for the club since signing from Blackburn and continuing on the reserve staff, and it shows with every order he barks on the pitch.
He's a midfield general without the midfield and a defensive sentinel removed from the line; his methods may appear...unorthodox to many fans, but few can argue with the results.
Sherwood has achieved the near-impossible balance of befriending, yet still managing, his club. So long as that stays the case, fans can be optimistic of three points in every game they play.

Re: Reuben Scofield, Sarah Lockwood
In reply to:
Reuben Scofield, Sarah Lockwood
Joan Huot 7/17/12
The DAR listing has Silas Bennett married 01 Nov 1787 to Sarah Scofield. Sarah and Silas had a daughter named Ann Bennett who married Wright Reynolds. The DAR requires future applicants in this line to fully document because this ancestor's record may not meet current DAR requirements for the service and/or the lineage.That means current genealogists may have found problems with the previously submitted documents.[Note: Sarah also had a sister named Anna Scofield b: ca. 1775]
Sarah may be the daughter of Michael Scofield (1741 CT-1786 NY) and Anna Lockwood (1739 CT - ?). See http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=gen1775&id=I10418http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=gen1775&id=I10418.
Michael Scofield served as a private in the 3rd + 4th Reg. Weschester Co, NY Militia. Michael Scofield was the son of Ebenezer Scofield (1713 CT-1789 NY) and Mary Smith (1713 CT-bef 8/17/1757). [Ebenezer'a Aunt Hannah Scofield (1716-1760) married Edmund5 Lockwood (Daniel4, Edmund3, Edmund2, Edmund1). So this line was cousin to the Edmund Lockwood family.
Anna or Annah6 Lockwood (Reuben5, Joseph4, Edmund3, Edmund2, Edmund1) was a daughter of Reuben Lockwood (b: 15 DEC 1715 CT) and Sarah Camp (b: ABT 1717) See Jay Harris, God's Country, A history of PoundRidge, NY, 465. Capt. Reuben Lockwood served in the Westchester NY Militia.

"He asked me to take my hat and leave the house"
John William Anthony to Callie Anthony, January 7, 1860, Anthony Family Papers, 1785–1952, Acc. 35647, 35648, Library of Virginia.
Callie Anthony says: John William Anthony is my younger brother, but I call him Johnny. He wrote to me in January from Randolph-Macon College, in Boyton. He couldn't come home for Christmas, and we missed him dreadfully. I told him all about our festivities, though. I wish his teachers would give him more than just one day off for the holiday.
Johnny told me of a near-fight he had with another student, but he asked me not to tell Ma and Pa. I suppose I'll wait and let him tell his own story, but I hope he will stay out of trouble after this. Still, I'm happy he stood up for his honor; that other boy had no right to tell him he was being disorderly.

For as long as she can remember, Judith Sakata has had just one dream: to one day be the proud owner of a restaurant. She went to night school to learn pastry-making when her kids were asleep, and worked at a bakery and later at a restaurant when the kids were at school. She earned her credentials at a top-notch fusion restaurant in Tokyo before moving back to Malaysia where she quickly became the Executive Pastry Chef for YTL Hotels and Properties, a group that included the Marriott and Ritz Carlton brands in Kuala Lumpur. Several years later, she took on a more modest role in helping Just Heavenly, a Malaysian chain of cake boutiques and cafés, set up and manage a central kitchen. One day, while she was perusing the inflight menu on an Air Asia flight, she thought, "I'm sure this can be improved". As soon as she got home, she wrote an email to the Air Asia CEO (I'm not kidding!), explaining her motivation and her ideas to improve the inflight food. She had the job within several weeks and went on to revamp the menu! That's how passionate my sister is when it comes to food!
NOSH that fuels the soul
Driven by her passion, every step she made was a building block to fulfilling her dream, which came true in October 2012 when she and her business partner, Ann Lee, opened NOSH. For those wondering what it means, NOSH is slang for 'food' or 'eat' – it can be used both as a noun or a verb. NOSH represents Judith's lifelong passion for food, specifically, food that fuels the soul.
I was in Kuala Lumpur to cheer my sister on during the grand opening of NOSH. When I stepped into the restaurant for the first time, I was struck by the simple interior – a bright space with a long white wall and uncluttered tables. Perhaps a bit too plain but at NOSH, as I was about to discover, the food – a mix of Western and Asian influences – takes centrestage.
NOSH has two menus: a brunch menu and the main menu. The brunch menu (only available on weekends and public holidays), arguably the most extensive of its kind in Kuala Lumpur, features hearty favourites such as pancakes, French toast and eggs in a multitude of intriguing combinations; whilst the main menu comprises an eclectic selection of Asian and Western-style dishes.
My favourites at NOSH
NOSH's elaborate brunch menu has something for everyone on those lazy weekend mornings; from the NOSH Full Monty (bacon, sausages, eggs and hash browns) to toasties, pancakes and desserts.
I didn't get to try everything on the main menu, though I wish I could because everything looked so good! I was thrilled to find out that the NOSH kitchen makes most of its own pastas. Two pastas caught my attention in an instant: the home-made beef tortellini (filled with succulent beef cheeks and mascarpone) and the pappardelle in a basil pesto sauce. Both were, in one word: divine!
Another dish I absolutely loved was the Roasted Ayam Percik (roasted chicken with spices). Instead of rice, this traditional Malaysian dish was served on a bed of couscous, in my book, a small stroke of genius. The spicy flavours blended superbly with the fluffy couscous!
I wish I'd gone for the Braised Beef Cheeks (slow cooked and braised in a coffee-infused sauce) as this dish is quickly gaining 'celebrity' status in Kuala Lumpur! Oh well, that's one more reason to return soon!
Another reason to return soon are the NOSH desserts. Both Judith and Ann have extensive experience in pastry and desserts so it comes as no surprise that the desserts at NOSH are top of the bill. They make their own ice-creams and sorbets and only use the finest ingredients, such as the highly-acclaimed Valrhona chocolate. The dessert that left me scrambling for more is the Valrhona Heaven – a combination of molten chocolate cake, tart au chocolat and chocolate ice-cream. If you love chocolate, you'll love this dessert!
Judith and Ann are the perfect pairing as both have a great eye for detail and a keen focus on quality. Above all, their passion for food shines through in everything they do. Through the years, I've watched my sister toil to achieve her dream. It's unbelievably cool to see the fruits of her work reflected in NOSH and to read the rave reviews it's been receiving.
Here are some of the reviews:
I'm so proud of my sister for this brilliant achievement and I'm thrilled to bits about the great things the public is saying about NOSH. Hat's off to you Jud! You've done it! 🙂
