The superintendent of the Monroe Correctional Complex says he has to wait for the criminal investigation of a guard's strangling death before he can change how Washington's largest prison is run.
Superintendent Scott Frakes told The Daily Herald of Everett he can't even question some of his own officers to determine what went wrong when Jayme Biendl was strangled Saturday night at the prison chapel.
Frakes says all security practices will be reviewed and many activities for inmates will likely be scaled back.
There are about 2,500 prisoners at the Monroe complex.

i myself am an Androgenic masculine female attracted hermophro female and i am standing up against sexism and male patrechy
Pro opens the debate in round #1 with the following:
"gender is a social construct cuse we are told when we are first born by a dude what gender but if he didnt tell us that we woudnt have a gender its only cuse he told us that gender that we are that gender
i myself am an Androgenic masculine female attracted hermophro female and i am standing up against sexism and male patrechy"
Gender defined:
1a : a subclass within a grammatical class (as noun, pronoun, adjective, or verb) of a language that is partly arbitrary but also partly based on distinguishable characteristics (as shape, social rank, manner of existence, or sex) and that determines agreement with and selection of other words or grammatical formsb : membership of a word or a grammatical form in such a subclassc : an inflectional form showing membership in such a subclass
2a : sex
Etymology of "gender": The term "gender" has been in use to denote sex since the late 14th century, and has become more commonly so recently, as the term "sex" took on a meaning less regarding one"s genitalia and became more commonly used to reference the sex act. (2). In general use, gender and sex have become synonymous in referring to males and females.
Con disagrees with the claim. The proposition that, we are told what our gender is after birth is proof that it is a social construct, is simply not the case. The physicians and other medical staff make a determination of the gender of a newborn based on physical characteristics, i.e., genitalia, which are unique to a given gender. They do not decide and assign gender. They recognize what is. Simply denying the obvious gender of a newborn does not change the fact of it. Pro goes on to claim that if we were not told our gender our gender would not exist. We know this is not the case. Everyone is aware that the gender of a child is already factual prior to the pronouncement by medical staff. A child does not enter the world without gender and suddenly develop genitalia in accordance to the spoken decree of the attendees. If pro insists on going deeper into the substance of the individual, those gender differences are based on the 23rd pair of chromosomes in humans, with females having 2 X chromosomes and males having an X and a Y chromosome in the 23rd pair. (3) (4)
The last sentence of Pro"s Round #1 argument is not disputed. Con would point however to Pro"s use of female in the description of herself.
Con finds Pro"s argument that gender is an arbitrary assignment by a male at birth as part of an anti female world preposterous and wholly without merit. Con"s argument is refuted. Gender is not a social construct.
Anthropologists that have studied cultures around the world know that a lot of the traditional gender roles we see in the west are just products of culture and not necessarily innate. For the most part, culture forces people into behaving in certain ways. That said, almost all cultures do end up having gender roles that, whatever they are, align with physical sex in some way.
As Con has shown from sources on the etymology of "gender", from its origin to its current usage, the term is commonly applied to the physical sex of an individual. Pro has not cited any sources to the contrary.
Pro argues without documentation that men are not born stronger than women. This argument is demonstrably false. Of course, we do not argue from the specific to the general, which is a logical fallacy. We do not argue since one particular woman is stronger than one particular man, the axiom does not hold any longer that men are physically more powerful. There are numerous fitness and medical sources which attest to the fact of men having greater strength. (1)(2)(3)
This is not a social construct. It is a genetic fact of gender. Pro also states without supporting evidence that anthropological study has produced the knowledge that gender roles (not to be confused with "gender") are cultural. However this, also, is documented to be incorrect, that males and females have differing roles due to differing methods of processing information. (4)
As to the original, contextual meaning of the word "gender" in this debate: The context was clearly related to physical attributes, with Pro using their unusual physical situation setting the context and as shown, the two terms, sex and gender, are used interchangeably in society. If Pro had wanted to debate solely the cultural roles of males and females, Con believes the result would have been the same. As Pro did not narrow it, either by definition, or by debating "Gender Roles Are a Social Construct", there is no reason to limit the debate to part of the meaning of gender.
It is worth noting that all 4 sources used in this round, from fitness to government to medical, use gender and sex interchangeably.
Con has proven that both cultural and physical differences within the genders are not social constructs, but are genetic in nature.

7 points to Con. Reasons for voting decision: Pro used only opinions, provided no citations, made grammatical errors, wasted a round on insults, and argued against something already scientifically proven. Con stated facts, provided citations, used proper grammar, stayed on topic, and defended an already proven scientific fact.
[*Reason for removal*] For every category awarded, the voter is required to support their assessment with specifics from the debate. These assessments are devoid of any specifics that apply to the debate, and as such, this RFD is insufficient.
>Reported vote: epidexipteryx// Mod action: Removed<
7 points to Con. Reasons for voting decision: Con had overall better conduct, arguments and reasoning. While the opponent just shouted insults and made claims without supporting evidence, Con proved that gender is not a social construct but stems naturally from genetic origins.
[*Reason for removal*] (1) The voter doesn't explain S&G. (2) Conduct, arguments and sources are insufficiently explained. The voter is required to provide specific reasons why these points should be awarded, referencing instances from the debate. If someone "shouted insults", it should be clear what those insults were. If Con proved something true, explain how, and explain why their supporting evidence was reliable and effective.
As much as I'd like to show how idiotic you so called facts are. Its off topic we're talking not about transgender but about intersex if you bother reading what the pro says.

Reasons for voting decision: The debate looks at two opposing constructs. PRO: gender being a social construct, but she needed to be more specific in her opening contention. CON points out in R3, that she implied physical characteristics. Her intent was, gender/sex roles are a social construct, but this isn?t clear until R3. CON seizes the biological descriptors for his argument and aptly, with cites for substantiation, rebuts PRO?s assertions that men are not born stronger than women, gender roles are based on information processing and gender/sex are genetically based. Sources to CON due to weigh in substantiation of his arguments. Conduct CON, PRO name calls, S&G ties both had readable arguments.

It's annoying. The WiFI connection is interrupted again. Maybe it's the microwave. Or maybe it's the mirror in front of the router. Aaaahhhh. I hate this router.
If you live in the 21st Century, I am sure you've been experienced internet connection drops somewhere, somehow. Connection drops are annoying but how can we fix it?
There are several things you can do to make sure your WiFi sends a better signal to your devices on the net.
Try these tricks first:
- Place your router in the center of your house.
- Don't place it near concrete, in a closed area like a closet.
- Don't place the router near stone, concrete, or bricks.
- Upgrade your router's firmware by visiting its web page.
- Make sure your router is newer to support 5.0 GHz frequency signals.
- If you have a newer router, put all of your old devices on 2.4 GHz frequency and all new devices on 5.0 GHz frequency.
- If you live in an apartment, get a newer router.
- Buy an extended antenna.
All tips above are from Matthew Monix.
However, if you're not a tech person and don't want to mess with your router, maybe you should try WiFi extenders like eero.
With this WiFi extender, all you got to do is to install the three extenders by every 1000 sq ft in your house and you're set. I personally have this in my home since my WiFi connection is not very good. But since my house is 2500 sq ft, I, now have more than enough of a signal.
I went to this link to get this set of 3 WiFi extenders: eero Home WiFi System (Pack of 3) – Blanket Your Home in WiFi, Replaces Wireless Router and Range Extender, Gigabit Speed, WPA2 Encryption

National Conference of Insurance Legislators (NCOIL) is expressing grave concerns with a proposal by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) to form a commission intended to work alongside a future federal insurance regulator.
In a letter to NAIC president Roger Sevigny, NCOIL president Rep. Robert Damron enumerated the faults NCOIL sees in the creation of a National Insurance Supervisory Commission (NISC). Damron said the creation of NISC would usurp state regulation of insurance.
"Your proposed commission of insurance regulators would mandate insurance standards for all states and preempt existing state statutes," Damron wrote. "Once a state joins the commission, NISC would oversee insurance regulation "without further state legislative action" in many areas, such as producer and company licensing, life insurance and other asset-based products, surplus lines; and potentially, market conduct, solvency regulation, and reinsurance."
NAIC has proposed the NISC as state-sponsored body that would channel state information to a potential federal insurance office housed within the Treasury Department. The Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2009 (H.R. 4173), which passed the House on Dec. 14, mandates creation of a Federal Insurance Office to monitor the insurance industry and negotiate international agreements.
While NAIC presents a NISC as a necessary counterbalance to any federal insurance office, NCOIL sees it as tacit support of federal regulation and a stepping-stone to a federal charter for insurers. "Your willingness to turn your back on the state-based system and join with the federal government to secure a seat at the proverbial table is alarming," Damron states. "We feel that by forming an alliance with a federal insurance office, the NISC lays another paving stone in the path toward federal regulation of insurance— one that will leave states and taxpayers holding the bag."

It has been that every story has an element of the real in it, and George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire, perhaps one of the greatest stories ever told, is said to be inspired by actual events in European history. Having followed the story of ASOIAF and watched Game of Thrones its adapted TV series I could not help comparing the events to the Nigerian situation more so that the 2015 elections in Nigeria starts in less than a week. So in between the boredom of waiting for the 5th season and the fascination with the political undertones of the series, I have done an analysis of 10 prominent GOT characters and how they compare to 10 prominent people in Nigerian politics.
The comparisons of course are not all perfect and I might have missed a few things. One last warning however, in the words of Shaggy in "Church Heathen" "If you take this too serious then you really need some church." So ladies and gentlemen I present to you Naija Game of Thrones.
King Robert Baratheon is President GEJ,
Robert would easily go down as one of the most popular kings in Westeros at the time of his coronation. He is particularly noted for wresting power away from a family which had held it for so long (for Naija equivalent read ethnic group), but he became increasingly unpopular as time went on, because he failed to provide leadership for his people, preferring to indulge in other activities and outsourcing his power to others. More importantly he failed to control his own queen and she contributed to his downfall. But underrate his team at your own peril, because, the Baratheon/Lannister team has plenty of resources as well as some capable and proven winners (they won the battle of the five kings after all), And they already beat team Stannis once. However with the presidential election only a few days away, is the fact that Robert Baratheon died in the series a pointer to GEJ'S defeat at the polls? Only time will tell.
GMB is Stannis Baratheon
Stannis Baratheon is the polar opposite of Robert, just as GMB is being touted as the opposite of GEJ. Where Robert is the popular, flamboyant and fun loving guy, Stannis looks like an tough looking austere, disciplined man who would feel he deserves a shot at the kingship, after being by passed by an unworthy Robert. The resemblance between GMB and Stannis Baratheon becomes more uncanny, when we realize that towards the Season finale of the 4th Season, Stannis is in a sort of alliance with Jon Snow, who is about the only surviving Stark still resident in the North. With allies like Melisandre, Ser Davos and the Iron bank of Braavos backing him, Stannis has gone from being a pretender to a major contender for the Iron throne. The question here is will the Lannister beat him again as they did before? Or, is this the year GMB will finally win the war and knock GEJ off his pedestal?
And while we are talking Baratheons and Lannisters
Patience Jonathan is Queen Cersei Lannister
This is a no brainer of course given that she is King Robert's queen. Then there is this problem of She thinking herself as a master strategist when everybody else (including her own family members) thinks she is not as smart as she thinks she is. Indeed she has already made a string of terrible decisions that are harming her husband's chances as King, yet she remains headstrong and paranoid and won't listen to advice. One thing she knows how to do right though is to use the enormous resources she has to get her way. For her it is a question how much longer is she likely to survive given that the people who were her former allies have left her.
And there is another Lannister coming
Former president Olusegun Obasanjo is Ser Jamie Lannister
Okay as far as I know, He is not commiting incest with Patience Jonathan, so the incest doesn't count, but in other respects Baba Iyabo could easily be the Kingslayer. He is a member of the kingsguard he is also knight that killed mad king Aerys Tagaryen, bringing an end to the tyranny of the Targaryens (read the military), and he was (technically) king for a few hours before he handed the kingdom to Robert Baratheon. Jamie like Obasanjo is one of the most ambivalent characters in the series. He started the series as a bad guy (breaking his oath to protect the king, screwing his own twin sister, pushing Bran Stark off the Winterfell tower, attempting to kill Ned Stark,), but the interesting thing here is that Obasanjo like Jamie, has suprising changed sides, he has turned against his own family (see also Party) including even his own sister and former lover and is claiming to want to keep the oath he swore to Catelyn Stark, (whose family incidentally is also being courted by Stannis). The question for Obasanjo like Ser Jamie is has he done well to desert a sinking ship? or will the decision to abandon a family where he is regarded as the golden boy come to bite him on the arse?
Danaerys Targaryen is Abubakar/Boko Haram
Now I know this will offend some people, given that the Kahleesi is one of the most beloved characters in the series. But let us do a critical examination. A member of a family who believe it is their right to rule Westeros? Check. The character whose Mantra is "taking back her kingdom with fire and blood?" Check. Big fire spitting dragons even she cannot control? Check. An army of brainwashed insurgents whose sworn duty is to die for their leader? Check. Forget Emilia Clarke's can't hurt a fly visage, Danaerys is as callous and ruthless as they come, more so for a woman, as she showed to the slavers in Mereen and Yunkai. And like Abubakar Shekau in his videos, she believes she is doing the right thing and doesn't often feel any remorse for the people she kills even when sufficient proof suggests that some of her victims are innocent. So love the Khaleesi all you want but you can't argue the fact that if you are looking for a character whose modus operandi mirrors that of Boko Haram, the Khaleesi is your woman.
Babatunde Raji Fashola is Jon Snow
So far in the series, every one's favourite bastard (Jon Snow, not BRF of course) has not come to the centre of the action, preferring to do his own thing on the sidelines. First of all Jon is in charge of the Wall, one of the oldest and most appreciated monuments in Westeros, which however has been neglected over the years for a new capital (is GRRM secretly Nigerian or something?). His style of leading at the wall has been inspirational and exemplary, despite a perceived Lannister effort to undermine him. He has been tested in battle, passed with flying colours and he is now regarded as a force to reckon with in Westeros .For now though, he prefers to stay on the wall and not join Stannis army for the battle for King's Landing, however he has accepted a sort of alliance with the Baratheon General, and everybody knows that he is clearly cut out for great things. He is definitely going to be playing a big role in Westerosi future sooner or later but if team Stannis (read also team GMB) wins that big role could be soon rather than later for Lord Snow.
And while we are in the north…
Ramsay Snow is Ayodele Fayose
Remember Ramsay Snow, the son of lord Roose Bolton, who took over Winterfell from Theon Greyjoy, and humiliated the young Theon, that obnoxious ruthless man who took advantage of the fact that Winterfell is in the hand off a young and crippled Bran Stark, to betray his fellow Northmen for favour from the Lannisters. He is in charge of Winterfell now and he is carrying on being a pain in the ass while being egged on by the authorities at Kings Landing. There is this feeling that Ramsay Snow's power is tied to his masters at kings landing and the other Northmen are waiting for the Baratheons to die out so that they can turn against him and his father Lord Roose of the Dreadfort.
Kayode Fayemi is Brandon Stark
Again an imperfect comparison, given that JKF is not in anyway crippled, but other than that the comparison fits perfectly. First of all unlike his elder brothers, Bran is perceived as some sort of thinker and not much of a hardy rugged Northman like his father or his brothers or Lord Walder Frey and Roose Bolton,(even his direwolf is called Summer), when Bran is put in charge of Winterfell , it was inevitable that he lost it when Theon Greyjoy and the Lannister backed Ramsay Snow showed up. Bran is beyond the wall at present, hoping to learn a few things about life. And there is this feeling that alongside his bastard half brother Jon Snow, Bran Stark has a role to play in Westerosi events
Rotimi Amaechi is Sandor Clegane
He is easily one of the most recognizable character in the series, the Lannisters especially Joffrey, refer to him as "the dog" huge, strong and vicious, The "Hound" is a devoted agent of Party (House) Lannister, but it is increasing obnoxiousness of the Lannisters especially Cersei, that turns him against the Lannisters and into a sellsword. As the series go on, He does an about face from being a Lannister to a Stark protector, even turning himself into Arya Stark's defender, when Brienne tried to take her from him. And like Amaechi, the Hound could have ransomed Arya to Lysa Arryn at the Eyrie and become a sellsword for the Arryns who are allies to the Starks, and by extension Stannis Baratheon, if Lysa had not suddenly been killed by Lord Littlefinger. The Hound is another character whose "Death"(it was never shown that he died after all) is a portent, has Rotimi Amaech like the Hound taken it too far this time?
And while we are talking about Sellswords
Femi Fani Kayode is Bronn of the Blackwater
Both are good at what they do, Bronn is an extremely good sword fighter, FFK is an extremely eloquent yarn spinner, they both emerged from relative obscurity to the centre of events, and they both don't care which team they are playing for so far they get rewarded, do I need to say more?
Folks there you have it, I know I have kept some of your favorite GOT characters out, as well as some of mine too, I would like to hear your thoughts on the piece and on the series itself. Cheerio

MSNBC host Chris Matthews defended the Tea Party and praised Virginia's 7th Republican primary victor Dave Brat in an appearance on "Ronan Farrow Daily" on Wednesday. He said Brat is "very sophisticated for a politician. He's certainly up to the ranks of most politicians I've ever dealt with," and "he can handle any debate on this program or my program."
Matthews then launched into a defense of the Tea Party, as he declared "looking down our noses at Tea Party people has got to stop. They have a message, they're as American as any liberal is, and they're really angry of the failure of the system." He seemed to agree with Tea Party frustration with the current political system, exclaiming "we can't control the deficit, we can't control the debt, we can't control the border. What good is government good at? That's the question that's happened on every issue we've covered on our show."

I said in a recent blog that our vineyard was starting to generate tasks and last weekend saw us working away to tackle some of these. Overall the weather has been rather indifferent so far this year. Last year we had a warm March and this got our vines off to a good start. No such warmth this year and consequently the vines have been very slow to shoot. Bearing in mind our Northerly location, (just South of the North Pole) this is probably understandable. It is more likely, even with global warming, that last year was the freak year and this year is more normal. What this does to the overall ripening season only time will tell. Last year if the bloody birds hadn't interfered we would have picked the grapes at the end of September / early October but I have read of vineyards picking their grapes, in this country, in November. We will just have to wait and see. I have to say it makes booking a holiday difficult. Another impediment to trying to do more travelling, the pups being the other. This in the absence of my late mother. So a slow start but the buds are sprouting now and our, now four year old, vines are going well. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the vines we planted last year. Having been rather smug among our wine group about the fact we didn't suffer from frost because, as we were on the side of a steep hill, the frost rolled right on by. Yes, we had wind and cooler temperatures but we didn't have frost. So this year we got frost and it wiped out the buds on the new vines. Strangely the older vines escaped because they were mostly budding out of the tubes. The new vines are still wholly in the tubes and this is where the frost did its worst. Strange, you might have thought that the tubes would protect the buds but, in fact, they seemed to have the very opposite effect. Whether this is because we had ground frost (I didn't know that ground frost actually came up from the ground, makes sense when you look at the name but I had always assumed it came down from the air but simply rested on the ground) rather than air frost, I really don't know, but the young plants are now, thanks to Mr Frost, budless so no work to do in that part of the vineyard.
Elsewhere, apart from the continual straightening of the vines, blown over by the winds, of which there have been several and strong too, we've been de-budding. A tricky task with the older vines because you can't, as they're big and, even after winter pruning, made up of more than one straight shoot, simply slip the tubes up and allow access to the lower part of the vine where the buds you don't want, like to nestle. This means slitting the tube (still necessary we reckon to keep off the wabbits) their whole length and then pulling the tube away, de-bud and then wrestle the tube back around the vine. A real pain of a job. Another pain of a job is strimming (as above). If ever a job looked like fun when you watched somebody else doing it, but in fact is bloody hard work when you're the one doing the strimming, this is it. The vines might have been slow to bud but the grass, thistles and nettles have not been slow (see photo below). We hadn't been up to the vineyard for a couple of weeks on account of daughter's wedding, and we were shocked and amazed, amazed and shocked when we did get there last weekend. The unwanted versions of the plants were everywhere. So strimming was the first task, fortunately we had number one son (that's him in photo below again) to help and we got most of the 26 rows done on Sunday and 4 remaining ones I finished off on Monday. This leaves weed-killing along the rows between the vines. With the pups this is difficult for me to do as we have no wish to poison them. So I have asked my farmer neighbour to do this task for us(he's doing some on his own land at the moment). Fingers crossed that he will be able to do this this week. Which leaves fertiliser application as the remaining job for this time of the year. I say final job but that of course doesn't include all the general maintenance and, dare I say, improvement jobs around the place. One of which was setting a garden bench at the top of our hill so that we can sit and look down on the vineyard which looks as smart as it ever does now that it has been strimmed. It's a fabulous view from right at the top and one that we haven't taken advantage of until now. Now we have an old garden bench unused and unloved from our Headingly house, in prime position. It sits proudly at the top of the hill but what a bugger it was to get it up there. It's heavy (hardwood), the hill is steep and the ground underfoot unlevel, add to this the fact that number one son had gone and it was left to Mrs Summerhouse and I to carry it up and we were both knackered. Altogether it was a struggle but then all the more fun to sit upon it and rest when we did get it up there. And what a view, that's the picture in first paragraph.
The only other task I've failed to mention relates to those dratted birds. I said in past blogs that I'd been considering strategies to prevent a recurrence of last year's disaster. Advice has been confusing and sometimes contradictory. Any sense of having 'the right answer' was blown clean out of the water a couple of weeks ago when we went for dinner at a fellow retiree and his partner. He was a clinical psychologist and has become a keen ornithologist in his retirement. He has become as expert on bird behaviours as he was on the human versions. He also has a house in Whitby where he has been plagued by seagulls, they eat anything he plants and generally squawk and shit when not doing the former. He was desperate to get rid of them. He noticed that when Whitby had its bird of prey festival, there wasn't, as he put it, a seagull in town. So being an ornithologist he studied the birds of prey and had one made, at some expense, to put in his back garden. He went back the next week (it's his weekend place) and the seagulls had torn it to shreds. Long story short, he tried everything he could think of with absolutely no effect. Not encouraging. After this we fell to talking about how bright birds were. He told us a couple of remarkable stories about bird intelligence. One was about a bird using Archimedes Principle to raise the level of the water in a container so that it could get the food floating on the surface of the water. The second story was even more remarkable and briefly concerned a little girl who used to feed the birds (jackdaws?) and, after a while, in exchange, the birds brought her little trinkets as presents, including the contact lens of her mother which she had lost (no the mother wasn't still wearing the contact lens). Well, we'd had a few glasses of wine and decided (both having been psychologists) that we needed to use paradoxical psychology to tackle our birds. It was a great idea but I can't quite remember at this distance what it was exactly. But it was something like leaving trinkets for the birds to take which would have the double effect of distracting them from the grapes and, as a bonus, making them so grateful to us and our kindness that they left our grapes alone out of gratitude. Certainly sounds like, from my friends experience, that we need to think creatively or pay big money for netting. So that's it for this month. These have been our adventures in our retirement vineyard.e

I have a dentist appointment this morning. To re-do one of the fillings I had done last year. This is not the first time this has happened, but after six months or so I figured I'd written enough about my stupid teeth, and I moved on.
This is a new dentist -- well, not new today, but new in the sense of not the same one who did all these fillings the first time. She started re-doing them because one hurt when I flossed (yes! I floss! and still I'm being punished in this manner! seriously, call me Job! though at least my breath is not corrupt. not yet. anyway...). She said she'd re-do it, but my poor-people insurance wouldn't pay for it because it had been less than a year since it went in. I gave her a look and she said "oh, we won't charge you for it, I was just thinking out loud." Damn straight you won't, lady!
Don't get me wrong. I like her. And she does a good job. Certainly much better than the other girl who screwed everything up last year. But I've seen a little too much of her and I'm ready to put her out of sight and mind.
This went on for four more fillings (or maybe five, I've forgotten). Hurting when I flossed, re-doing them for free, etc. We were finally done with all of those (well, one that she re-did actually still hurts a little bit when I floss, but not so much that I can't stand it, so I haven't told her) and then a tiny little piece fell out of this one.
Well, if you want to get technical about it, a tiny little piece fell out of this one when it was brand new, but that was last year, when I was in the middle of this whole other dental thing, and I just decided not to tell anyone about it. But when I had my cleaning in September, the technician noticed.
Damn technician.
It's in my wisdom tooth, and half the reason I never told anyone the filling broke was that it was explained to me that these smart choppers of mine could be filled once, and if anything went wrong after that they'd have to be pulled. So obviously ignoring it was the best plan.
I told New Dentist when Technician called her in that I understood the situation and would really rather just wait for now and see what happened. She looked at me like I was nuts and said "I'll just re-do it. They used the white filling and they should have used the silver kind and I don't know why they did that and this wouldn't have happened if they had. We should really try re-doing it, at least. It may have to come out eventually, yes, but that process is going to be much worse for you later if you don't deal with this now."
Damn Good Dentist.
She also said, again, that the insurance wouldn't pay for it because it had been less than a year, and that she'd do it (again) for free, but I felt bad. Not enough to, you know, pay for it myself or anything, but still. She shouldn't have to do this one for free when it was (again) the other dentist who screwed up, and I knew it right away and I said nothing. So I asked the technician to check my chart and find out when it had been done the first time, and I made this appointment for after that so New, Good Dentist could finally get paid.
And that's today.
I'm out of practice with this shit. I got so used to it last year, it came to the point where I actually fell asleep once in the chair. But it's been, oh, four or five months now since I've had Novocaine, and I'm all fatooshed. Which I may have used wrong. Because I'm not Jewish. And I googled it and couldn't find it anywhere, no matter how I spelled it. Oy.
Maybe, while I'm in the dentist chair, one of you people would be kind enough to tell me what fatooshed means and how to really spell it? Leslie? Are you still out there? You're still Jewish, right? Anyone else? Anyone better at or more patient with Google than I am? Everyone better at or more patient with Google than I am?
I have a little something for the person who submits my favorite answer... I don't even care if it's the right one... Lots of times, funny's better than truthy...
(You should read that last line with a singsongy lilt, like you would say "Who wants cupcakes...?" Or, I guess, like I would say "Who wants cupcakes...?" Maybe you would just say "Who wants cupcakes!?" But you'd be wrong.)

Stupid Teeth
I have a dentist appointment this morning. To re-do one of the fillings I had done last year. This is not the first time this has happened, but after six months or so I figured I'd written enough about my stupid teeth, and I moved on.

I won't even have an attempt at "Fatoosh", but I am commenting to empathise. 4 or 5 of my teeth have to be done over and over again...each year..until this one reached a point where it had to be root-canalled ....and THAT's bad business. (And all of it adds to my credit card debt each time)
Neway, all the best for today, and I do hope ur able to fall asleep in the chair!

Aw, EGE! That really sucks. Don't you keep encountering, basically, The Marathon Man type of evil dentist? Can't get in on any hot contest action 'cause I'm way too stoopit lately to be funny or truthy. But, few random thoughts: 1) Fattoush is an awesomely delicious middle eastern bread salad--really, really good. 2) If fatoosh is not a yiddish expression, it should be! 3) I know it's not the word yer seekin', but "verklempt/farklempt" is always good (distraught--I think). Also: You probly had the spilkes (sp.) (were all nervy/uneasy at the prospect of hittin' the chair again)?

I've spent a lo-ho-ho-hot of time at the dentist, seeing as how I've managed to knock my front teeth out, twice (don't ask). So I sympathize. I really do.

I don't know what FatTush is but it sounds like some kind of fat bum problem.
Now what on EARTH did you do in a past life to have all these teeth issues?

No matter what the most important for you is speed, reliability, comfort or design, PZ Racing always has the right products for you.
The second:
Working for over 25 years with these several kinds of material gave us so much experience and insight into the characteristics of those materials. Each different material has its own character and manufacturing process. Due to our knowledge build-up in those years we are specialised in combining the different materials to get a product that easily meets the highest standards. Also we always keep in mind that every rider has their own demand for his/her material.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of premium denim maker True Religion Apparel
So what: True Religion's second-quarter miss -- EPS of $0.39 versus the consensus of $0.35 -- coupled with an equally gloomy full-year forecast reinforces concerns over high-end spending. Management cited slowing international sales and weak demand from women shoppers for the disappointing results, forcing analysts to lower their growth estimates yet again.
Now what: Management now sees full-year EPS of $1.80-$1.86 and revenue of $450 million-$455 million, down from its prior view of $1.88-$1.95 and $450 million-$460 million, respectively.
"We're still a very prestigious brand," founder and CEO Jeffrey Lubell reassured investors. "I call it a hiccup, but Wall Street likes to do what they do best, based on performance and our job here is to perform every quarter." With the stock hitting a new 52-week low today and trading at a cheapish forward P/E, True Religion might be a good way to take advantage of that short-termism.

The 30 companies in the Dow Jones Industrial Average are expected to increase their annual dividend payout by 12.66% from a year ago and 2.93% from the first quarter, according to a survey by Dow Jones Indexes.
In total, they will pay $101.6 billion in the 12 months beginning July 1, which represents 38% of all annual dividends, Dow Jones said.
"As is the case with most information gleaned from Dow Jones Industrial Average's component companies, this dividend data provides meaningful insight into the strategic outlook of bellwether U.S. corporations," said David Krein, senior director of product development and analytics at Dow Jones Indexes.
"One of the market's subtle truisms is that many investors track the DJIA for more than just its day-to-day pricing figures," Krein said. "As we can see with the dividend information, there is much to be learned about the broad U.S. market by mining the Dow's component companies' data for trends and other useful indications that enable investors to make informed decisions about their investment portfolios."

Download citation file: RIS (Zotero) EndNote BibTex Medlars ProCite RefWorks Reference Manager Mendeley © Copyright Tools Search Book Top Return Clip Autosuggest Results ++ Introduction ++ Operative deliveries are vaginal deliveries accomplished with the use of a vacuum device or forceps. Once either is applied to the fetal head, outward traction generates forces that augment maternal pushing to deliver the fetus vaginally. The most important function of both devices is traction. In addition, however, forceps may also be used for rotation, particularly from occiput transverse and posterior positions. ++ The precise frequency of operative vaginal delivery in the United States is unknown. According to the birth certificate data from the National Vital Statistics Report, forceps- or vacuum-assisted vaginal delivery was used for 3.6 percent of births in the United States in 2010. According to Yeomans (2010), the vacuum-to-forceps delivery ratio is 4:1. Figure 29-1 depicts the decline in the rates of this type of delivery since 1990. In general, operative vaginal delivery attempts are successful. In the United States in 2006, only 0.4 percent of forceps trials and 0.8 percent of vacuum extraction attempts failed to result in vaginal delivery (Osterman, 2009). ++ Figure 29-1 Decline in operative vaginal delivery rates, 1990–2010. (From Martin, 2012.) Graphic Jump LocationView Full Size|Favorite Figure|Download Slide (.ppt) ++ Indications ++ If it is technically feasible and can be safely accomplished, termination of second-stage labor by operative vaginal delivery is indicated in any condition threatening the mother or fetus that is likely to be relieved by delivery. Some fetal indications for operative vaginal delivery include nonreassuring fetal heart rate pattern and premature placental separation. In the past, forceps delivery was believed to be somewhat protective of the fragile preterm infant head. Subsequent studies, however, reported no significant differences in outcomes for neonates who weighed 500 to 1500 g between those delivered spontaneously and those delivered by outlet forceps (Fairweather, 1981; Schwartz, 1983). ++ Some maternal indications include heart disease, pulmonary injury or compromise, intrapartum infection, and certain neurological conditions. The most common are exhaustion and prolonged second-stage labor. For nulliparas, the latter is defined as > 3 hours with or > 2 hours without regional analgesia (American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, 2012). In parous women, it is defined as > 2 hours with and > 1 hour without regional analgesia. ++ Operative vaginal delivery should generally be performed from either a low or outlet station. Additionally, forceps or vacuum delivery generally should not be used electively until the criteria for an outlet delivery have been met. In these circumstances, operative vaginal delivery is a simple and safe operation, although with some risk of maternal lower reproductive tract injury (Yancey, 1991). Moreover, there is no evidence that use of prophylactic operative delivery is beneficial in the otherwise normal delivery. ++ Classification and Prerequisites ++ The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (2012) classifies operative vaginal deliveries as summarized in Table 29-1.

Medilink EM is the membership and networking organisation for the healthcare and bioscience sector in the East Midlands, encompassing medical technologies, pharmaceuticals and biotechnology. Membership benefits include sector specific support in marketing, regulatory affairs, clinical evaluation and procurement, access to training and networking events, international conference and exhibition support, and use of sophisticated research tools.
Medilink EM's diverse membership base includes large healthcare companies such as 3M Health Care in Loughborough, medium size companies including Pennine Healthcare in Derby and smaller companies such as Hospital Aids in Northampton and XenoGesis in Nottingham. Members are also drawn from the region's broader healthcare community including service companies, the universities, and the NHS.
MedilinkEM is part of a national network of similar organisations, Medilink UK, which is driving national healthcare strategy through its links with central government.
The organisation has also been contract-holder for delivering the Healthcare and Bioscience iNet, a region-wide support project part-funded under the European Regional Development Fund and managed by emda.
Why PR?:
As a membership organisation, Medilink EM perceived a need to raise its profile with members and potential members as well as the wider healthcare and bioscience sector. Activity would alert non-members to the benefits of membership and ensure that members took fullest advantage of these benefits as well as being reaffirmed of the value of membership.
The Healthcare and Bioscience iNet also required specific PR campaign activity to record business successes, to recognise the support of the funding bodies and to generate more interest from companies in need of advice and finance.
The Brief:
The brief is to liaise with the senior management team to gather news stories, to seek commentary opportunities and to attract media coverage across the East Midlands. The aim is to raise Medilink's profile on a regional and, where appropriate, on a national level with both members and the general healthcare and bioscience sector.
The Campaign:
Integra Communications has acted as public relations and public affairs agent for both Medilink and the iNet since 2010. In addition to monthly news management, Integra provides event planning advice and is involved in the execution of the annual Innovation Day and Awards celebration. Integra Communications provides pre-event press activity, including case studies on potential award winners, media and photography management on the day itself, as well as post-event press release handling of the Awards' winners in local and national media.
A public affairs campaign for the Healthcare and Bioscience iNet required Integra to oversee the production of two videos; 'Innovation in Healthcare and Bioscience' and 'Collaboration in Healthcare and Bioscience' involving appropriate Medilink and iNet clients. The videos form part of ongoing activity to ensure the Government is aware of the work in the East Midlands.
In December 2011, Medilink EM established a podcast recording studio in BioCity Nottingham to be managed by Integra Communications. A contract to deliver 24 audio pieces is near completion, creating a library of recordings on topics ranging from understanding clinical trials, to working with the Wellcome Foundation. Interviews with up to four expert guests are planned and edited by Integra Communications.
Company Director Louise Third runs free PR clinics for Medilink members who want to understand how they can manage their own PR. She has delivered 5 such clinics to members, and has also run a breakfast seminar for 70 delegates on working with the media.
The Results:
In the period June 2010 – April 2012 a total of 383 items of media coverage have been recorded.
Coverage ranges from local press such as the Nottingham Post, Derby Telegraph, Leicester Mercury, Nottinghamshire Today, Midlands Business Insider,

Mount Stewart Infant School Curriculum
Mount Stewart Infant School Curriculum
Our curriculum is broad, balanced, exciting and creative. Our curriculum
- Promotes spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of pupils and of society.
- Prepares pupils for responsibilities in life
- Inspires children to keep on learning and improving.
- Develops enquiring minds through activities designed to encourage thinking, problem solving and creativity
- Develops respect for the views of others
- Appreciates human achievements and aspirations
Curriculum overview
We teach the curriculum through a range of topics. Our teaching is child-centred, we aim to meet the need of all our pupils. We have high expectation for our children and our focus is to make them interested in learning and to recognise that learning is fun. We show our appreciation of pupils' achievement and success, through different initiatives.
Each year group has a topic overview of the year which is matched to the Programme of Study for the National Curriculum or EYFS curriculum. The topics are reviewed at the end of the school year and any changes will be incorporated in the new school year. The yearly overview is broken down into medium term plans or termly units of work to show progression, continuity and development of basic skills. Each year group plans weekly activities from the medium term plans. Class teachers adapt these plans to meet the needs of their class. The curriculum focuses on developing skills attitudes knowledge and social skills to foster collaboration of ideas and working together towards a common goal. Our curriculum also includes extra-curricular activities, and promotes equality of opportunity.
We link together as many National Curriculum subjects as is possible to develop cross curricular teaching and learning and to bring concepts and content together from different disciplines. Special days/weeks e.g ., Art week, Science Week, Maths focus days, Health and Fitness Week, Celebration of Festivals and Culture Week and celebrations are some of the way in which we celebrate the breadth and balance of our curriculum. Fortnightly parent support workshops, Curriculum Evenings and information on our website are ways in which we share our curriculum content with parents.
Pupils' engagement is a top priority for our school. We want our pupils to understand what they are learning and to engage in robust practical activities. Pupils are given the opportunity to say what they would like to learn about a topic and this information is incorporated into the teacher's plan.
Our curriculum is needs based, we look at the specific needs of our school community to make sure the curriculum is relevant to our pupils' needs as well as extending their understanding of the wider world. Senior leaders keep a close check on the coverage of the curriculum ensuring that pupils are challenged and progression is evident. The curriculum is monitored regularly to make sure that the all pupils are challenged and extended.
Extra Curricula Activities
We provide a range of extra-curricular activities to enhance pupils' learning. These activities include trips linked to topics, after school clubs – chess, art, music, ICT, football, Gymnastics, Taekwondo, drama and ballet; visiting theatre groups and other companies and presenters. Clubs help pupils to collaborate with pupils of different ages and abilities and to use some of the skills they have been learning at school.
We make the curriculum work for our children, we want every child in our school to experience success and the curriculum is the vehicle that makes this happen.

Phase/Class Organisation
The school is divided into two phases, EYFS (EFS Curriculum) and Key Stage 1 (National Curriculum). Each phase has a phase leader. EYFS phase consists of 1 nursery class and 3 reception classes. Key Stage 1 phase has three Year 1 classes and four Year 2 classes. Teachers and support staff in the phase meets with the phase leader to identify teaching focus before planning as a year group, adapting plans to the needs of their class and evaluate progress within the phase.
Pupils have regular experience of speaking and listening, reading, writing, phonics, grammar, handwriting and spelling. English is taught across the curriculum using topics and themes and the programmes of study in the National Curriculum and EYFS curriculum. Pupils are learning to use language effectively for different purposes and different audiences. They are supported in developing and extending their English through visits, projects, competitions celebration of national events e.g., National Story Telling Week, book Week and National Poetry Day. The school has a lending library that pupils borrow books from each week. Pupils also take home banded reading books from their class. For more information on reading, see the English Policy and Reading at Mount Stewart Infant School
We follow the EYFS and National Curriculum for teaching mathematics. We use a range of resources including Abacus teaching Programme and Education City for homework. We teach mathematics using practical, investigative and written methods. Each day pupils have mental maths and in every maths lesson there are mini plenaries to moderate children's learning to clarify any misconceptions, to review and extend the lesson. The school encourages exploration and investigation of mathematical concepts. There are maths focus days in the spring term in which pupils are involved in whole school maths projects and investigation with the Happy Puzzle Company. We support parents in their children's mathematical learning through workshops, curriculum evening, hand-outs e.g., Calculation Policy and strategies for teaching maths in each year group.
Science is taught using practical activities and written accounts of why things happen. We encourage pupils to predict outcomes and form simple hypotheses. Science topics taught are based on the National Curriculum. There is a nature area in the school ground that is developed as a resource for teaching science. Pupils are able to learn about mini-beasts, plants and animals in the local area in the school science resource area.
The school has a range of ICT resources including ICT room, iPads, notebooks, Interactive white boards, cameras and laptops. Each class has a weekly teaching session in the ICT room and access to laptops, iPads , CD player, cameras and note books on a regular basis.
Sex and relationship Education
The school has a Sex and Relationship Education Policy, a copy of this policy is on the school website. Parents can request a copy from the school office. The policy outlines how the subject is taught at school.
Religious Education
Our RE syllabus is in accordance with Brent SACRE. Pupils are provided with the opportunity to discuss topics and gain a better understanding of religious beliefs. Parents have the right to withdraw their children from all or part of religious education and collective worship provided. This should be discussed with the headteacher.
Design and Technology
We teach pupils to design and make products using a variety of materials, techniques and finishes. We encourage evaluation and reflection on what has been done and how it can be improved. Designing and making products is cross curricular and reflects learning in other subjects.
Physical Education
Our PE curriculum includes dance, gymnastics, athletics and games. PE is taught by trained PE coaches. During lunch time pupils enjoy games and sports led by a teaching assistant, sports coach and junior play leaders from Mount Stewart Junior School. Pupils also participate in interschool sports competition and special day with celebrity/professional sports men or women.
We teach our pupils about the past through stories, visits to places of historical interest, artefacts and ICT. Pupils visited a variety of places. Places visited in the past include: Hampton Court, Royal Maritime Museum, Kew Gardens, Bethnal Green Museum of Childhood and Science Museum. We celebrate black history month in October. Each year we focus on a different aspect of black history
In geography we study the local area, a place in England and a place abroad. The study of geography looks at use of land, buildings, weather, people and products. Pupils visit the local area and Harrow Town Centre to look at features of the area, how people travel and how buildings are used.
The school employs a music teacher from Brent Music Service who teaches music on Monday and Tuesday from nursery to Year 2. All class teachers attend music sessions with their class and follow up pupils' learning during the week. Pupils learn to play the violin in Year 1 and the recorder in Year 2. Pupils who have an aptitude for singing are auditioned for a place in the school choir. There is a weekly key stage one singing assembly in the autumn term. In the Spring term, reception join the rest of the school for singing assembly. The school also puts on a variety of productions during the school year, including Christmas celebrations, Summer concerts and class assemblies.
The school follows the National Curriculum for art. In Key Stage 1 Pupils are taught by an art specialist who also conducts two after school art clubs. Pupils participate in art competition and recently won an award at the Fourth Plinth Art Competition hosted by the Mayor of London.
In PSHE pupils are taught how to develop positive attitudes, appreciate each other and learn how to deal with emotional issues, bullying and other negative behaviours. The school has adopted Brent PSHE curriculum which is linked to the SEAL curriculum. Each class has weekly circle time to explore a range of issues. Pupils have class rules and a poster outlining the school strategies for dealing with behaviour is in every classroom
Special Needs
From time to time children will need special help either to overcome a learning difficulty or to ensure that the curriculum fully extends their abilities. Specialist help is available within the school. Our Special needs co-ordinator oversees the work of teaching assistants and advises and support the class teachers. SEN pupils work in small groups, pairs or one to one support. Additional help is available from Speech and Language Therapists, Brent Autism outreach Team, Educational Psychologists, Occupational therapists and the school nurse.
The more able child
The school policy is to identify through clear curriculum guidance these children who have outstanding abilities. Opportunities are given for children to develop their specific skills or talents right across the curriculum. The school has made special provision for able pupils in mathematics and writing. Opportunities are provided for pupils to develop talent in art, music and sport.

Question about 2001 Pontiac Grand Am SE
We have a 2003 yukon xl. It had a recall because of speedometer problems. Ours would work in the summer, but when it got cold in the winter, it quit functioning. So we have had that repaired. After only about 8 months, however, everything quit working (needles and lights) when it got cold last week. As the car warmed up, everything started working again. Nevertheless, we decided to take it back again for another cluster assembly. Since the temperature had warmed up, all of the gages were working fine when we took the car in. As always, we could not demonstrate the problem for the repair shop but they knew what we were talking about. When we took the car in, all of the gages worked fine. After the car was repaired, and when we drove off the lot, the ABS lights would not go out. Took it back the next day and they told us this ABS problem was unrelated (something about codes), could not have been caused by anything they did, that the timing of the failure was sheer happenstance, and the repair would cost in excess of $1,400 to fix. This story seems hard to believe (the abs system began malfunctioning while the car was on their lot, but has no relation to anything they did), but I know virtually nothing about cars. I need help! Thanks.
Posted by khedrick976 on
The codes I was given were the following: C0298, P1571, P1689, P1626. Thanks for any help you can give in this regard. As I said earlier, it is just hard to imagine that the some unrelated failure occurred at that the exact time my car was on the GMC lot.
Thanks for the assist. But here is my problem. I cannot possibly fix my car. I am simply attempting to determine if GMC is responsible for the problem I am now experiencing. This problem did not exist when I drove the car onto the lot -- it existed when I drove it off. They say it is no fault of theirs. The car is out of extended warranty and the cost is $1,400 for the repair they suggest. Is this their responsibility? Mine? GMC's? Am I just out of luck? Thanks.
Based on what you say its the mechanics at fault here, funny how a 4 - 5 year old car has developed so many problems while at the garage/service centre.
If you are paying or have payed for ongoing work on the car, then as a consumer you well within your rights to demand that the problems are sorted for you at no extra cost.
Being a newish car, them most likely the car has to go through some kind of computer diagnostic to locate and resolve the problem. was any computer diagnostic performed at all?
whether these clusters are a bad design or not, it should now be up to the garage or service centre to rectify the problem
Posted on Nov 20, 2008
There is a common issue with the 1999-2005 Grand Am with the
ABS/Traction Control system. The problem ranges from being intermittent, usually during slow-speed turning maneuvers, to constant,
every time you drive the car.
The problem usually is tied to the wheel speed sensors, or the electrical connections to these sensors. The front seem more problem-prone than the rear. The preliminary step usually involves removing the wheels and inspecting the wiring and connector If everything looks intact continue on.
Usually with this problem you can disconnect the connector, clean the contacts, give it a dab of dielectric grease, and reassemble. The wheel speed sensor is part of the hub assembly (wheel bearing) and can not be purchased seperatly.
Now with code P1571 - Electronic brake control module torque signal request, range, or performance problem. I think you need a new EBCM. which isn't going to be cheap and so I suggest you go with what GM says as it sounds like they knew what they were talking about when told you and were not at fault as it is a common enough occurrence
P1689 - Traction Control Module which is related
P1626 - not to worry about
Posted on Nov 20, 2008
Unhook the hot cable <+> for 60sec the rehook it up this should reset the codes when they changed the cluster they did not reset the codes
Posted on Nov 20, 2008
Hey dude
Lnk to the code list , error and how to rectify this...............
Thx and regards.
Ba bye.
Posted on Nov 20, 2008
Hey dude,
If u honestly ask me all these error codes are related to circuits.
Read the pdf file for the meaning of these error codes :-
It wld help u to take decision to hold the responsible.............
Take cre.
*****I hope i have answered all ur queries*************
Ny help-----24/7 available.
And i believe "The mechanic should be responsible for the same"...........
B'coz if this might have been ur or GM fault, all the faults must b interlinked and these error wld take some time. These errors altogether cannot come at one go.
and one of my friends are working for GM. Let me talk to him and discuss and than i wld get back to u.
And i would also tell u, is that neccessary to resert these codes, wld it affect ur GM motor or not and after talking to him, i would be able to clarify the charge that should be charged if these errors are there.
KIndly bear with me for any delay :)
******take care bro*************
I know these clusters have a history of going bad...I've replaced a few myself, They are rebuilt so it's not impossibe that another one is bad. The only thing that fails more frequently than the cluster is the EBCM probably code C0265 C0266. This is the electronic brake control module....1200.00 or so here. There is nothing anyone can do to cause one to fail. The're on all chevy and GM trucks and some cars and just a bad design.As far as the timing they might have cleared codes or pulled the battery cable to do the cluster job and reset the code in the ABS module. Ultimately I would need to know the code and what is being replaced for 1400.00
Posted on Nov 19, 2008
The actual cause was a defective wheel speed sensor which when replaced reset the indicators.

Hmm, that didn't seem to work, and it made it a bit worse as it's now just moved down.
This is the screenshot with the custom css added:

Any other ideas?

Please add !important to the height attribute:
@media (max-width: 480px){ #logo img { height: 83px !important; margin-top: -36px; } }
This is what i get when i add this code: (http://www.awesomescreenshot.com/image/1452120/9c4ab9ab98238716e1efdc140497c97b)
Let us know.
Best regards!
Perfect. That worked. Thanks! High five!
Hi there! We reuploaded the image file for our logo and now it's having the same problem of not being centered and going off the screen. I checked the custom css box and it still has the exact code you posted previously for us to insert. Any idea how to fix it? Thanks!
2 years ago MihailaKeymaster
Is this image you uploaded, bigger than the previous? However, you only need to change the values of the last code, to match this new logo. I tried with these values:
@media (max-width: 480px){ #logo img { height: 60px !important; margin-top: -18px; }}
This is what i get: screenshot.
Let us know.

The exhibition, entitled 'Not Finished Yet', was organised by patients of the hospice who wanted to raise awareness of the value of art therapy and creative arts in their care. In excess of 50 pieces of art were on display at Trinity across a variety of mediums, including paint, clay, collage, photography, digital arts and poetry. Many of the artists were at the event in Clapham and chatted with visitors about art therapy and the inspiration for their work. The event raised £700 from the sale of the work with all proceeds going to Trinity. The exhibition also incorporated a small selection of pencil portraits of Trinity art therapy patients and staff from 30 years ago. The drawings were donated by Angela Landels who was the art therapist at Trinity in the 1980s and got in touch after seeing the advert for the exhibition. Visitors to 'Not Finished Yet' described it as inspiring and deeply moving. One said, "Your work makes people like me (young and healthy) wake up and realise that we need to make the best out of our lives, experience each moment as a chance to celebrate life." Catherine Hodgson, one of the art therapy patients who organised the event, said "It was an incredibly uplifting event and it was wonderful that so many people felt a connection with the art we had created. For many of my friends and family, it was the first time they visited the hospice and everyone remarked what a lovely vibe it has and how warm and friendly everyone is." Diana Kagiafa, Art Therapist at Royal Trinity Hospice, said, "It was amazing to open the doors of Trinity to so many people and I'm delighted the exhibition was so well received. I hope it goes some way towards breaking the taboo around the hospice and showing what a colourful and vibrant place it can be." Trinity offers a range of art therapy sessions, open art studios and creative workshops at the hospice to enable patients, carers and families to express thoughts, feelings and experiences in a safe environment. Art therapy is just one of the many types of support available for patients and families at Trinity which can help people feel better for longer and manage the practicalities associated with living with a progressive, life-limiting illness.
