Daisy and I were hiking trails around Lake Benton in Texas when I spotted this large feline track. Eyes open and head on a swivel.

Big Cat Track
Holiday Park at Lake Benbrook
On our way back to Florida, we've stopped for a few days in the Ft. Worth, Texas area.
We're in our RV overlooking lake Benbrook in Holiday Park. It's a US Army corp property.
The sites are very nice, although most of them are not very level. The sites have electric and water connections but no sewer. There are dump stations in the park.
There are a few miles of hiking trails as well as whatever water activities you'd want to do.
There's a lot of wildlife around, including predators, so be careful with pets. Daisy and I came across a large cat track on the trails. The same day the gate worker showed a picture of a panther crossing the road near the front gate.
One major complaint we have is that the only entrance gate is locked at 10pm and you can't get in or out until 6 am. This policy seems insane to us. I really don't know how someone thought this policy was a good idea.
We've got a couple of days left and we'll continue east.
The sights of Route 66
Next stop: Santa Fe, NMThe last two days have been filled with all of the strange and entertaining roadside "must sees" of Route 66.
It seems that the goal was to display "the biggest" or "the tallest" or… There was clearly no concern as to what the biggest or tallest novelty was. Cowboy, Ox, Shoe, Tower…
Speaking of towers, check out this gem. All 4 legs are the same length but the center water pipe it too tall. It was too costly to fix so they just left it that way.
This cross stands 190 ft tall and is believed to be the largest in the Western Hemisphere. It includes beautiful night time lighting and all of the stations of the cross below.
The closer we get to New Mexico, the more creative the "art".
Where we've been and where we're going:

Whew! That list is getting long!
Maybe we prayed wrong!?!
This is our current situation. Yes, we are right in the path of the brutal rain coming from the strongest hurricane in reported history, Hurricane Patricia.
But, this is really no surprise. Why? Well, because this is what we seem to be chasing since our travels began.
We started out in December of last year staying on Fripp Island where the average December/January temperatures are mid to high 60's. Nope! We had freezing, record low temps the entire time. This continued at multiple locations through April. Freezing!!
And then came May in Orlando where the height temps typically top out in the mid 80's. Nope! It went straight to mid 90's. After that, every location we've been has had record high temps between 90-100 degrees.
We were so grateful to finally be in TX where the temperatures were so moderate for about a week. Then we went right back to 90-100 degrees. And then Patricia shows up to drown us!
We have prayed that we will make an impact on the areas where we travel. Ummm, I think we need to change our wording because I didn't realize we would bring Biblical weather events. Oops!
Our Texas Home
This is our cute little house in Harker Heights, TX. We are about 10 minutes from Killen and around 15 minutes from Fort Hood. This little house is called Mamau's House. It is an in-law house behind a private residence.
This is the first time we've used Airbnb because we would typically choose to have a private residence since we have dogs. However, we hit the jackpot with this house!
The entire property is fenced in and there are three resident dogs that have adopted us. Taygar, the Great Dane, is Daisy's bestie. They jump in the pool, run in the yard, and wrestle in the mulch. Every morning, Tay waits in front of the house for Daisy.
It has been great for the animals but very fun for us, too! Tonight, the owners hosted an Octoberfest party out by the pool. Everyone brought food and their dogs. It is so fun to hang out with dog lovers. They're good people!
The owners are both veterinarians. Score! We got our dog's vaccinated here at home and didn't have to take them into the scary clinic. AWESOME!
Oh, and we got us some Texas boots.
Did I mention that we have a grand baby coming, soon? Yay!
Texas Heat Wave
We've been in Texas for about 2 weeks now. Apparently we got here in time for an unusual fall heat wave. It's been in the high 90's to low 100's pretty much the whole time we've been here.
It's been kind of weird though. Let's take today for example. When I woke up and went outside this morning the temperature was in the mid 60's and felt slightly chilly. It's 5 p.m. now and the news says the temp is 95. So, the outside temperature has been doing 30 degree swings almost every day.
Not to worry though, the weather genies on the news are saying that we've only got one more day of hot before fall weather moves in. Let's hope they're correct.
Horse in our house
One of the things we're loving at our Texas rental are the animals. This is Taygar, the resident Great Dane.
He, along with his tiny dog siblings have decided we're part of the family now.
Happy Beagle
The old beagle, otherwise known as Boogie, was quite intrigued with our trip from Arkansas to Texas. Notice the tiny bottom teeth showing.
Harker Heights Texas
We're at our new vacation rental in Harker Heights, Texas. This is a small house that sets behind the main house on a good size piece of land.
We only have one issue here and that's that we have to leave for three days in the middle of our stay. Jodi was having difficulty finding rentals in this area. She finally found this one, but it is rented to someone else for 3 days in the middle of October. That means we'll have to move out for those three days and then move back in.
Luckily, we don't have much stuff, so it's more of an inconvenience than a real problem.
This property is in a great setting. We're surrounded by mountains, goats, a couple of horses, more deer than you can shake a stick at, and a few other dogs for ours to play with.
God willing, we'll update this blog soon. I need to blog more pictures.

Fellow Parlor Press poet Ethel Rackin has tagged me to take part in the Next Big Thing, a series of self-interviews that leaps from poet to poet. You can read Ethel discuss her new book, The Forever Notes, in her NBT self-interview here. It was intriguing to revisit some of the ideas and influences that were rolling around in my head while writing Contrapuntal. Here's what I came up with:
What is the working title of the book?
The title for the book revealed itself to be Contrapuntal, but for a while there I thought it wanted to be called Canto Fermo.
Where did the idea come from for the book?
I'm not sure, but I've always admired book-length poems – books by Olson, Williams, Claudia Rankine, A.R. Ammons and John Ashbery come to mind. And for Contrapuntal, I was interested at the time with narrative in poetry and how far narrative can bend in a poem before it breaks. Breaking is, of course, much more interesting.
What genre does your book fall under?
What actors would you choose to play the part of your characters in a movie rendition?
Remember in Adaptation when Charlie Kaufman's brother Donald was writing a script for a thriller called The Three in which the killer and the cop are one person (their mom called it "psychologically taut"), the film version of Contrapuntal would be like that, but worse.
What is the one sentence synopsis of your book?
In the intro to some poems in Boston Review, Mark Strand described it as "a drama of the subtle transactions between both self and self and self and other, presenting two distinct but overlapping narratives. One is allegorical, in which a piano-playing guru named Tim, a pharmaceutical cure-all called 'T', and the laboratory where it's produced are all elements in the formation of a self (the speaker) seeking unity. The other thread concerns a past self and a present self who overcome various vicissitudes in order to merge in the voice of the poet." Not exactly one sentence, but there you go. Meanwhile, isn't Darker an incredible book? I think so.
How long did it take you to write the first draft of the manuscript?
About three years of writing and throwing out, writing and throwing out, and then spreading pages out on the floor and being generally confused.
Who or what inspired you to write this book?
Bach. Specifically his Goldberg Variations as played by Glenn Gould. I thought for a while that Gould's was the gold standard, but now I agree with NPR's Ted Libbey that Murray Perahia's recording is the best. I listened to that on repeat while writing the first draft. I was fascinated with the separate identities the right and left hands had on the piano. They are unique and fascinating in their own right, but they come together in a really amazing way.
What else about your book might pique the reader's interest?
Since I'm not exactly sure what might be of interest to this faceless, nameless "reader," I'd like to take this opportunity instead to recommend some books that I really love right now: Why Does the World Exist? by Jim Holt, Circle's Apprentice by Dan Beachy-Quick and Sea & Fog by Etel Adnan.
Will your book be self-published or represented by an agency?
Contrapuntal was just released by Parlor Press in the Free Verse Editions poetry series, so neither.
My tagged writers for next Wednesday are:

All physicians are acquainted with several excellent large textbooks of medicine that are updated regularly. These books are usually edited by a panel of experts, and they contain chapters on the various medical subspecialties. Such texts serve a specific purpose and are valuable in the reference library of the physician. However, this book is different in two regards, and each of these features adds a unique dimension of usefulness.
The first special feature is that the book is written almost exclusively by faculty of the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. This volume is a direct descendent of Sir William Osier's

The key to achieving any large scale Operational savings is to be able to automatically fulfil Service Requests from your end users.
The first step in that journey is to be able to provide to your end users a Self-Service Catalogue of Offerings that they can request from IT. Over the last few years the acknowledged approach to this need is to leverage the Service Catalogue capability of the corporate Service Desk.
Many companies have faced challenges when trying to follow this approach because either Service Catalogue capability of the Service Desk is very limited or restrictive, the Service Catalogue takes a lot of time and scripting work to actually build any offerings or often the Service Desk is run by a dedicated Service Desk team who see no benefit to their Service Desk users from an IT Service Catalogue and thus are reticent to help IT implement one in their Service Desk.
What IT actually need is a Self-Service Catalogue capability which is dedicated to the needs of achieving IT automation, in which they can capture their Customer's requests and then use the automation platform to integrate those requests back into the corporate Service Desk solution.
The Automation Portal is an easy to implement self-service front end for your automation solutions. It offers a versatile interface without the lengthy list of prerequisites required by many other self-service portals available today.
The Automation Portal ethos is to "keep things simple and flexible". The portal has been designed to complement existing Automation platforms. The Automation Portal has been designed with System Center Orchestrator and Azure Automation in mind, however it equally complements any automation platform or scripting language that can read and write to the Automation Portal database.
Integration with the automation tools takes place via the Automation Portal database and with Orchestrator and Azure Automation is most easily achieved using the Kelverion integrations for SQL Server and in the case of Orchestrator the Data Manipulation IP as well.
The Automation Portal is simple and fast to implement, but even more importantly it's easy for your end users to navigate. By adding a simple web interface to your runbooks you can allow users to easily interact with your automated offerings.
Rapid, lightweight deployment.
Fast click and pick offering creation.
Rights-based user access.
Simple integration with automation.
Status updates throughout the automation process.

Step 1In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the apple slices, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt, and cook, stirring frequently, just until the apple starts to soften, 3 to 4 minutes (the slices should still be crisp). Remove from heat and stir in the raisins and toasted pecans. Spread the apple mixture onto a baking sheet to stop the cooking process and allow the apples to cool quickly, then cover and refrigerate until needed.
Step 1In the bowl of a stand mixer, or in a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat together the cream cheese with the vanilla, salt and sugar. Add the beaten egg to the cream cheese mixture and beat until thoroughly combined. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
Step 1In the bowl of a stand mixer, or in a medium bowl using a hand mixer, whisk together the cream cheese, butter, vanilla and salt until completely combined. With the mixer running, add the sifted powdered sugar, one spoonful at a time, until fully incorporated.
Step 1In a small pan, heat one-half cup plus 2 tablespoons of milk over medium heat just until warmed. Remove from heat and pour the milk into a small bowl or measuring cup. Stir in the yeast and 1 teaspoon of sugar, then set aside until the milk is foamy and the yeast is activated, about 10 minutes.
Step 2Whisk the 2 eggs in the bowl of a stand mixer using the whisk attachment (or in a large bowl with a hand mixer) until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Stir in the yeast mixture and remaining one-third cup of sugar until fully incorporated.
Step 3If using a stand mixer, switch to the paddle attachment. With the mixer running, add the butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, until incorporated.
Step 4In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. With the mixer running, add the flour mixture, one spoonful at a time, until fully incorporated.
Step 5Remove the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead until it is soft and somewhat silky (it's a rich dough and won't be entirely smooth), 5 to 7 minutes. Place the dough in a large, oiled bowl and lightly cover with plastic wrap. Set aside in a warm place until doubled in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
Step 6Meanwhile, make an egg wash: Combine the remaining beaten half egg with the remaining 2 tablespoons of milk.
Step 7When the dough is doubled, punch it down (it will be very smooth and elastic) and roll it out onto a lightly floured surface into a 10-by-28-inch rectangle. Lightly score the dough lengthwise to divide the dough into 2 equal halves.
Step 8Spoon the apple filling down the length of one side, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border on the top, bottom and sides. Repeat with the cream cheese filling down the other side of the dough, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border on the top, bottom and each side. Lightly brush the edges and center of the dough (along the score) with the egg wash to moisten. Gently and carefully pull the dough over the cream cheese filling, sealing the edge of the dough along the score mark. Repeat with the apple filling. Press the sealed edges, making sure they are secure (otherwise the fillings could spill out while the cake bakes).
Step 9Gently twist the length of the dough to form a braid-like shape. Wrap the dough so it forms an oval wreath and gently press the edges together. Carefully transfer the wreath to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 10Brush the top of the wreath lightly with egg wash and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let the dough rise until almost doubled in volume, 45 minutes to an hour, or loosely cover and refrigerate the dough overnight, removing it from the refrigerator about 1 hour before baking for the dough to come to room temperature.
Step 11Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Lightly brush the wreath with any remaining egg wash and place the sheet in the oven.
Step 12Bake the cake until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (the toothpick will remain moist if it hits the cream cheese filling, but there should be no crumbs sticking to it), about 30 minutes. Rotate the pan halfway through baking for even color.
Step 13Allow the cake to cool slightly before it is frosted (if it's too hot, the glaze will run off the cake and not adhere). Drizzle the glaze evenly over the cake, then lightly sprinkle over the colored sugars. If using the plastic baby, hide it somewhere in the cake (press the baby in through the bottom of the cake so as not to disturb the top or sides of the cake). Serve the cake warm or at room temperature.

Warren the Ape is an MTV reality show parody which ran from June 14 to August 30, 2010 and aired at 10:30 p.m. The series is a spin-off of the IFC and Fox TV show Greg the Bunny, and follows the titular character's life as he tries to get his life back together following the cancellation of Greg the Bunny.
Warren has paid more attention to drugs, booze, and women than his career, which has degenerated into a series of seedy exploitation films, obscure industrials, low-rent theater productions, and a regrettable string of skin flicks. With the help of his addiction specialist, Dr. Drew Pinsky, Warren tries (and often fails) to clean up his act, patch up his relationships, and claw his way back into the Hollywood limelight.
The series was created by Sean S. Baker, Spencer Chinoy, and Dan Milano, and is produced in association with MTV, Freestyle Entertainment, and Picture Shack Entertainment.[1]
On November 19, 2010, the official Greg the Bunny/Warren the Ape website confirmed that there would be no season 2, and the show was in fact cancelled.[2]
Greg the Bunny was a franchise that began with Junktape a half-hour, bi-weekly cable TV Public-access television show created by Sean S. Baker, Spencer Chinoy, and Dan Milano. The show aired on New York City's Manhattan Neighborhood Network, Monday nights at 11:30 p.m. Warren did not appear on Junktape, but when the show's main character, Greg the Bunny, caught the attention of the Independent Film Channel (IFC) and was hired to introduce their independent films, the creators realized they needed someone with a little more intellectual focus to present their trivia segments. This is how Warren "The Ape" DeMontague was born.
The Greg the Bunny Show on IFC followed Greg, Warren, and other characters introducing independent films via a series of puppet-acted parodies. Warren and Greg were both performed and voiced by Dan Milano.[3]
Warren and Greg then moved on to Fox TV in their biggest incarnation yet. The Fox show made its debut in March 2002 and its last episode aired in August 2002, with two episodes unaired. Despite its brief run, the series acquired a significant cult following, and was released on DVD in 2004.
In August 2005, Warren the Ape along with Greg the Bunny returned to the IFC, in a series of short segments, both old and new, spoofing movies such as Annie Hall, Miller's Crossing, Barton Fink, Fargo, Blue Velvet, Easy Rider and Pulp Fiction. The cast for these segments primarily features puppets Greg and Warren DeMontague, with appearances from Frederick "Count" Blah, puppet agent Pal Friendlies, and The Wumpus. Tardy the Turtle and Susan the Monster were unable to appear on IFC because they were created solely for the Fox series. This incarnation lasted for two seasons and is also available on DVD.[3]
- Warren DeMontague (voiced by Dan Milano) is the main character on the show, a veteran stage actor trying to make a new name for himself while having several substance-related vices. Frequently drunk and hardly ever prepared, Warren desperately tries to project an air of dignity (while wearing a ridiculous helmet).
- Dr. Drew Pinsky (as himself) is Warren's advisor whom Warren visits to update him on his progress.
- Cecil Greenblatt (played by Josh Sussman) is Warren's personal assistant whom he verbally abuses, also serving as his driver.
- Raquel (played by Mary K. DeVault) is Warren's "girlfriend."
- Laura (played by Laura Kachergus) is the leader of Warren's AA group, who has little patience for Warren's disruptive outbursts.
- Greg the Bunny is a side character, the title character of Greg the Bunny. He acts mostly as comic relief, and jokes are made at his expense (particularly by Warren) about how he cannot act and that he is just there to look cute.
- Seth Green played Jimmy Bender on the Fox version of Greg the Bunny, bearing a grudge against Warren for sleeping with his girlfriend. At Warren's attempts to patch things up between them, resulting with him accidentally having sex with Clare Grant, Seth ended up heavily hospitalized when accidentally hit by Cecil's car. By the time Warren visits him to borrow some money, Seth manages to regain use of his left hand to give a gesture as his way of saying no.
- Sarah Silverman is one of Warren's former co-stars, hates Warren for an unknown reason and changing her number to get away from him. When Warren arrived to her studio to borrow some money, she went out in a rage until Warren seduced her and they had aggressive sex. But in doing so, Warren got their sex scene, though barely filmed from outside the building, on live television while forgetting all about the money in the heat of the moment.

This year at the school where I work, the administration put up a Christmas tree. The tree was decorated by the children attending the school with ornaments of the school mascot: the penguin.
The decorations brought in were home-made, factory-made, and kitchen-made (a few decorated cookies were brought in). Over time the tree filled up and was admired by all who passed the office.
Yesterday was the last day of school before the break and the tree was denuded. The oranments were given back to the children and the office lost its festive air. The children were not worried as they still felt festive – wearing pyjamas to school does encourage excitement. 🙂
In the morning we attended the school Sing-Along and sang holiday songs in French. The day was relaxed as the class wrote their weekly spelling test and then spent time catching up their work. At the end of the day, they were eager to go home and prepare for the festivities during the holidays.
The next two weeks will be spent relaxing at home (often in pyjamas!) with our families.
What are your plans for the next 2 weeks?

Dissolution of an Inactive Corporation that has Conducted Business and Issued Shares
Step 1
Vote to dissolve the corporation. The board of directors should bring a resolution to dissolve the corporation before the entire body of existing shareholders with voting stock, either by holding a meeting or by requesting written consent. At least 50 percent of the shareholders must vote for dissolution under California law. Record the vote in the corporate record. If, for any reason, you cannot call a vote of all shareholders, you must complete a Domestic Stock Corporation Certificate of Election to Wind Up and Dissolve in lieu of a resolution and file it with the California Secretary of State office. You can download the election form from the "Forms & Fees" section of the secretary of state's website.
Step 2
Wind up the corporation's affairs. Pay all outstanding bills. Put money aside for any contingent liabilities that you are aware may arise after dissolution. Place a public notice in a local newspaper asking any unknown creditors to make their claims known within a specific time frame. Liquidate assets and distribute any money remaining after debts have been paid to shareholders in proportion to their ownership interests.
Step 3
Download a Domestic Stock Corporation Certificate of Dissolution form from the forms and fees section of the California Secretary of State website. On the homepage of the website, click on "Forms & Fees" under the "Business Programs" heading. Next, click on "Business Entities" and then on "Corporations." The correct form is number 17 on the provided list of forms. The state provides this form for convenience, but you don't have to use it. You can use any format that complies with California law to complete this filing.
Step 4
Fill out the Certificate of Dissolution and file it with the secretary of state's office. The form requires information regarding the effective date of dissolution, verification that dissolution was authorized by shareholders -- ether by stating that a resolution passed or by attaching a Certificate of Election to Wind Up and Dissolve -- and the signatures of a majority of directors. Submit the form in duplicate by mail to the state office. There is no fee for filing this form unless you drop it off in person at the Sacramento office. The state will send you two certified copies of the certificate of dissolution for your records.
Step 5
File a final California franchise tax return with the Franchise Tax Board. Your corporation is not formally dissolved until you file this last tax return with the state tax agency.
Dissolution of an Inactive Corporation Within 12 Months of Formation
Step 1
Vote to dissolve the corporation within 12 months of filing the articles of incorporation if the corporation has yet to start transacting business and has not issued shares. A majority of existing directors or incorporators must vote for dissolution.
Step 2
Wind up any outstanding corporate affairs. Pay any outstanding debts. Since the corporation did not commence operations, there should be very few accounts outstanding to close.
Step 3
Download the Short Form Certificate of Dissolution from the secretary of state's website. This form is available for download from the same section as the regular dissolution certificate; it is number 18 on the list of forms. It should only be used by corporations that have filed articles of incorporation within the past 12 months, have not issued shares, have not commenced business and have no significant debts or tax liabilities.
Step 4
Complete and file the Short Form Certificate of Dissolution in duplicate with the secretary of state's office. There is no fee for filing, unless you deliver the form by hand. The state will return two certified copies of the certificate to you for your records.
Step 5
File a final franchise tax return with the California Franchise Tax Board. Once you file this return, your corporation is officially dissolved.

Versuri Cult Of Luna - Curse
Album: Cult Of Luna - Eternal Kingdom 2008
Tonight I mourn the loss of heart and soul.
The path is taken, The curse received.
Dark and barren in the winter night.
Shadows move along the tree line.
A life is cleansed in blood.
Cleansed by these guilt hands.
Purged in a hollow soul.
Scorched and punished.
At the harbor I waited.
Kept an eye on the Baltic Sea.
Across these eastern waters a country of filth and dirt.
He emerged from the forest, how did he know? I damn this forsaken land.
Still the moon is looming low.

Oklahoma Train Accident Lawyers
Trains are one of the most convenient forms of modern transportation; however, it is also one of the most dangerous. Per the Federal Railroad Administration Office of Safety Analysis, there were 1,000+ accidents in 2011, causing 6 fatalities and 200+ nonfatal conditions. This is nothing to take lightly, especially when you considers that trains travel 700+ million miles annually and over 5% of accidents involve passenger trains.
Common Causes of Train Accidents
According to the FRA, the causes of train accidents can be split into several categories, including the structure of the track and roadbed, signal and communication, human-related factors, and mechanical/electrical failures.
Some common causes of train accidents include the following:
- Broken or bent axle
- Electrical fire
- On-board computer failure
- Defective train components
- Extreme environmental conditions
- Vandalism of track
- Improper use of brakes
- Broken rail or defective spike
About Train-on-Train Accidents
One of the least common types of train accidents is that of a train-on-train crash. One train by itself can be a monstrous vehicle, but the momentum and damage that occurs when two trains collide is nothing short of catastrophic. Due to the damage that can occur from these forms of accidents, the railway industry has taken drastic measures to ensure that these are severely limited through train accident prevention.
This, however, is not always enough to prevent disaster. On June 24, 2012, a catastrophic incident occurred when two Union Pacific trains collided in the state of Oklahoma. It was reported that the cause could be attributed to one of the trains failing to utilize the side track and causing both trains to collide on the main line. According to the National Transportation Safety Board, there was "no survivable space" in the train.
Railways Operating in Oklahoma
There are several different freight carriers that operate throughout the state of Oklahoma, including:
- Arkansas-Oklahoma Railroad (AOK)
- Arkansas Southern Railroad (ASR)
- AT&L Railroad (ATLT)
- Blackwell Northern Gateway Railroad (BNG)
- BNSF Railway (BNSF)
- Cimarron Valley Railroad (CVR)
- Farmrail Corporation (FMRC)
- Grainbelt Corporation (GNBC)
- Hollis and Eastern Railroad (HE)
- Kansas City Southern Railway (KCS)
- Kiamichi Railroad (KRR)
- Northwestern Oklahoma Railroad (NOKL)
- Sand Springs Railway (SS)
- South Kansas and Oklahoma Railroad (SKOL)
- Southwestern Railroad (SW)
- Stillwater Central Railroad (SLWC)
- Tulsa–Sapulpa Union Railway (TSU)
- Union Pacific Railroad (UP)
- Wichita, Tillman and Jackson Railway (WTJR)
Railroad Company Spotlight: Union Pacific
Starting operations in 1962 under the Pacific Railroad Act of 1862, Union Pacific Railroad (UP) is one of the largest and oldest freight carriers throughout the United States. Currently, it employees over 44,000 and has over 8,000 trains that run on over 30,000 miles of track.
In fact, UP is a present force in almost half of the states throughout the country.
Besides the catastrophic accident that occurred in 2012; however, the company has not been without some serious incidents throughout the years. For example, in Texas in 2004, one train operated by UP hit a BNSF train, which resulted in a punctured car and the release of liquefied chlorine. This caused 3 fatalities and more than 40 individuals to require medical treatment in a local hospital. Earlier, in 1994, the derailment of a UP train killed one man. This called for a complete rerouting the train to go around the city—something called for again in 2005.

Think you don't have time to write a novel? Kristopher Jansma penned his acclaimed debut The Unchangeable Spots of Leopards in five-minute spurts while riding the train.
Zola: The unnamed narrator's friend and rival—let's call him Julian, for simplicity—writes feverishly, drunkenly, nocturnally. The narrator is much more methodical, more grounded. What are your own writing habits?
Kristopher Jansma: I, for one, have never been able to write under the influence of anything stronger than coffee, which is probably for the best. And since I started living with my girlfriend-now-wife, I don't write much later at night anymore. We have a newborn son, though, so maybe that'll change as I'm up all night rocking him to sleep?
But I do love when the writing gets feverish, and in that way I relate to Julian's writing habits. My favorite days at the keyboard are the rarest ones—when I can be there undisturbed for hours and hours, and when the writing begins to take on a life and steam power of its own. But with family and teaching obligations, those days aren't common—and that may also be for the best. Like Julian, I think I'd get burned out if I worked that intensely all the time.
What I had to learn to do with Leopards was to write any chance I got. Even if it was only for five minutes between classes or on a train ride home when I was exhausted. I had to learn to give it my all whenever and wherever—and however briefly. Because all those short bursts add up and, in the long run, much more gets written that way.
Zola: In a previous interview, you claimed you constructed your novel out of several short stories pieced together because you decided to go "back to the basics" after some of your first novels got rejected. What was it about writing more or less stand-alone stories and then linking them together that was more effective than writing a conventional novel?
KJ: I'm not sure it's a process I could ever replicate now, but what I loved about it at the time was that I got the chance to be surprised at every turn in the writing. I didn't often know where one story would end or what would follow it. I didn't have any clue as to the eventual, over-arching structure…just faith that I'd figure it out if I kept at it. What came from that was that the characters are built steadily and spontaneously out of each experience that they have, and I think that mirrors the way real people's characters are shaped. Life happens in its own meandering fashion and we mold and morph along with it.
I don't think I could have sat down on day one and plotted this all out, with character arcs and such. I just had to take it one page at a time and see where it took me. But I think the reader feels that same way as they read the book and it's a really refreshing experience for most!
Zola: The book features plenty of literary allusions, from Kipling to Beckett to Calvino. Was there one writer or book in particular that influenced this novel?
KJ: There are so many references, and the crazy thing is that I feel I barely mentioned half of the books that inspired me. I think the biggest influence that goes unnoted—but which is hopefully felt all over the place—is David Mitchell and his Cloud Atlas. I remember finishing that book for the first time and just being totally taken to my knees. I called a writer friend of mine who had recommended Mitchell and I think I said, "That's it. I'm just going to give up right now because nobody can ever write a better book than that one. I'll never ever ever be that good as long as I live." And my friend agreed. I think his exact words were, "Mitchell is a god," and somehow that helped. Thinking of Mitchell as something empyrean actually made me feel like I could at least aspire to what he'd pulled off with Cloud Atlas. I think he broke every rule about writing a novel I've ever imagined, and it's unparalleled, as far as I'm concerned. But I keep my copy on my shelf—I got him to sign it actually, when he was in town for Jacob de Zoet, and he drew a little Starship Enterprise above his signature. The dude is so humble and so down-to-earth in real life…that's another thing about him that I take as inspiration. You hear him talk and you know: it's all about the work with him.
Zola: In your "Acknowledgments," you thank your parents for sending you to "summer writing camps and at least two universities so I could learn how to do this." What would you say to those who scoff at the notion of learning to write creatively?
KJ: I'm so glad someone noticed that! God, I don't even know what to say to people who scoff at that notion. I think that skepticism comes from a number of places. People want to believe that great literature simply pours out of great writers naturally, which is so ludicrous. Great books make it feel that natural, but it never ever is. I'm not saying everyone has to go to an MFA program, but we all have a lot to learn from other writers who have gone before us. Can you do that by yourself with a library card and a lot of midnight oil? I suppose. But I'm much happier having done it in the company of other great writers. By which I mean not only the professors, who are inspiring, but also the students. At Columbia I was in workshops with Karen Russell and Rivka Galchen and Tupelo Hassman and Karen Thompson Walker. Reading their rough drafts made me want my own to be better. I went to Johns Hopkins University as an undergrad and I met writers that I continue to commiserate with to this day—including Ariel S. Winter, who wrote The Twenty-Year Death and who introduced me to my agent. I studied Joyce and Woolf at Oxford one summer… that's something you can't get with a library card. Before college I went to a summer program at Brown University. This was when I was 16 years old in high school. And there I read Borges and Garcia Marquez for the first time. I met a girl there who, just a few weeks ago, invited me back to do a reading at Hopkins where she is now a MFA student. And from middle school to high school I used to go to Creative Writing summer camp at Brookdale College (now Brookdale University) down the street from my house, where I met the most fantastic liar I've ever known, and without whom I surely would never have written this novel. So I lost count, but yeah, that's a lot of schools and a lot of people at those schools who helped shape my outlook on writing.
If I can put it simply, after all that, I would say that writers need each other much more than we want to admit. We can get a tunnel vision about our work and about what's possible…and all you need to escape that tunnel sometimes is a cup of coffee with someone stuck down a different tunnel. And then you're both free.
Zola: What bookstore were you in the first time you saw The Unchangeable Spots of Leopards on the shelves? What was that feeling like?
KJ: It was incredible… I was at the Center for Fiction in Midtown, right before my launch party, and they had it out on display in their store on the street level. It was as exciting as I'd always hoped it would be. For years now, I've been going to bookstores and finding the spot, alphabetically, on the shelf where my name would go someday. Usually right beside, or not far from, Henry James. I took photos on my phone even, of "J" shelves from Shakespeare & Company to McNally Jackson to the Barnes & Noble in my hometown—before my book was there, but just to remind myself it would be there someday. Seeing it there now finally is an experience that I've been daydreaming about since I was roaming around bookstores as a kid.
My seventh grade English teacher, Mrs. Inglis, who is also thanked in the acknowledgements, was really the first person to ever point out to me that books were written by real people. Up until then I thought they'd just all existed in libraries and stores. I didn't know people were allowed to write new ones. But she was the one who said, "Hey, you should try writing one of these yourself someday."

Every once in a while, Zombchicken will sit down with certain members of the community and ask them a series of questions. This could be questions about their real life, situations in the QZW e-federation, their streaming, video games or just general life questions. Being a Zombchicken monthly subscriber allows you a bigger chance to be interviewed for the website as well! This is a chance to get to learn a bit about some members of the Zombchicken community exclusively here at Zombspawn.com!
Zombchicken: What are your earliest memories of finding out about the RCWF and the community? Any moments, people or streams stick out in mind?
Dave: I had just finished six months of doing Blog Talk Radio once a week for a political group. I was skimming things and discovered on twitter references towards 'Justin.tv', so I got on there to check it out. Seeing the games playing, I searched for WWE and found your stream. Pretty much from that point on, I was involved. I watched you and Mark casting, and I thought this was a fantastic thing and immediately wanted to join in with the fun. When I was shown the interview format in the forums, I was set because when my mind is set right, I can push out promos.
Zombchicken: How did the creation of the Eli Eastwood character process start out? While we're at it, what about El Punchclops and Sumo?
Dave: When I found RCWF, Book of Eli had just come out in the theaters. On top of that, Fallout 3 was the game I was addicted with playing at the time. So, I combined the two along with using Eastwood as the last name as per the bounty hunter 'Man with no name' trilogy.
For Sumo, it started with me watching Big Show do a drop kick. My mind immediately raced to trying to envision Yokozuna or Rikishi doing a missile dropkick from the corner and the idea of Sumo was born. On top of that, his 'sidekick' the interpreter was born from watching an old video of All Japan wrestling which had been dubbed. I wondered what would happen if a foreign wrestler would come out and talk like a face, but his interpreter made him a heel. Thing is, Sumo throttles interpreters like Bad Luck Fale throttles ring announcers.
El Punchclops is easy. Cyclops had just died in Marvel Comics as a pariah blamed for everything, when it was he who saved the world and the comics showed people were turning him into a Christ-like figure. Now, take Vigo the Carpathian out of Ghostbusters 2 and put in Cyclops. El Punchlops is the painting instructor, and I envision him using that exact same voice. Throw in a bit of Broken Hardy, and you have El Punchlops.
Zombchicken: What are some of your favorite community moments from the streams or marathons outside of the e-fed?
Dave: Like there is any choice in the matter. 2 months before the shit hit the fan. I went to Star Trek Las Vegas and streamed live an interview with Rod Roddenberry. Yes, between Adam 'Venom' Null, yourself, and me, we did what Ice Poseidon now gets millions of views for. I was at the convention, while Adam was running the stream to Twitch, asking questions, etc. We had William Shatner walk in front of the camera. We interviewed a Drunk Klingon. We walked the floor of the convention, plus got another interview with the director of merchandising for Roddenberry's company.
Then, of course, was my singing of Rocket Man as William Shatner during the Christmas marathon for St Judes.
Zombchicken: If you could challenge one person from current or past in the RCWF history, who do you think would be a great opponent?
Dave: We never really got a Troupe vs Eli match during the RCWF days. It'd have to be for a title, however, to make it more meaningful.
Zombchicken: What are some of your favorite games of all time? How about some of your favorite games you always return to or are playing now?
Dave: Well, as you know I was really big into the whole Marvel Heroes Omega thing until their CEO was found out to be a convicted child predator. I got into MMOs primarily with EQ, but WoW and especially City of Heroes was my thing. The Fallout and Elder Scrolls games I've enjoyed tinkering with. Paradox's strategy games of Crusader Kings II and Europa Universalis are my fallback games to play when I'm bored.
Zombchicken: You'll be starting a tabletop RPG stream soon, can you explain to us RP noobs what this is all about?
Dave: Dungeons and Dragons started the tabletop RPG phenomenon. I find it fantastic streams of these games such as Critical Role (GMed by the voice of Leon Kennedy, btw, Tad), HyperRPG's Perception Check (hilarious), ItMeJP's various streams with SkinnyGhost not only GMing there, but as the official Roll20.Net spokesman.
My game is Star Wars and was planned before this last movie. Basically, we are seeing 30 years in the future with the new movies. What happened in those intervening years? What happened, say, 6 months after the second Death Star blew up at Endor? Drop characters in there in a fairly open world environment, and see what occurs is the basic elements of the game. I have both experienced and new players in the game. THO's and Kim Styles' players, for example, are in the game as well as two old gaming buddies of mine. I will be streaming it on my channel at NE_Dave, so people can wander in and check it out (shameless plug)
Zombchicken: What are some of the things you enjoy doing when not gaming or hanging around Twitch.tv?
Dave: Right now, talking with my fiance in the Philippines. We met thanks to my friend finding her cousin on a dating service and getting close. He went over there and then when he came back said she had two cousins interested in finding an American because they were sick of the Philippines men. Christine shortly contacted me after and we got engaged when I went to the Philippines in October. Btw, Tad, that other cousin is still looking…
Zombchicken: It's a brand new year in 2018, do you have any kind of resolutions or goals for the new year that you'd like to share?
Dave: I need to get healthier, but the primary resolution is getting Christine over here and getting married.
Zombchicken: How do you feel like the Zombchicken community in the year of 2018 compares to the Main Event Network community of that around 2010-2012?
Dave: The people are friendlier now, by a long shot. No offense to that old group, but you were taking things far too seriously and we had to compete against assholes running their own feds who thought the way to the top of the heap was bashing you and RCWF. However, Main Event was very organized behind the scenes and we did things which were cutting edge which have now become mainstream like I mentioned above with the live streaming from convention floors. Wish we could combine the better qualities of both and do some joint things again. But time, age, and work gets in the way. We're all more mature, except Mark. He's still an asshole 🙂
Zombchicken: If you could bring back one MMO/MMORPG game that is no longer active or past its prime, which game would it be and why?
Dave: The most fun, with a guild, I've ever had in a game was Matrix Online. If they brought that back complete with the promises they gave us about how things would go, I'd jump back in a heartbeat. The GMs would show up in the game as Morpheus or Agent Smith and would RP with us. Players would RP heavily on all three servers they had up. We were the most hated guild in the game (being allied to the Machines and dominating role play), but it was a blast and I really miss it.

Up to 100 runners and walkers will be taking to the streets of North Belfast this weekend to run a half-marathon in aid of a local suicide awareness charity.
For the past three years the Terri-Anne Mackin Half Marathon has been raising thousands for PIPS Programmes and the organisers are hoping that they can top last year's
whopping total of £7,500.
The run – in memory of 16-year-old Cliftonville Road girl Terri-Anne who lost her life in December 2009 – starts this Saturday morning (July 21) from the PIPS office on the Antrim Road.
Last year's winner was North Belfast boxer and big-hearted PIPS patron Paddy Barnes, who is currently preparing for the Olympic Games.
"There's still time to make donations and any donations will be gratefully received, all you have to do is come along on the day," said Terri-Anne's uncle and PIPS volunteer Robert Mooney.
"There has been great interest in this year's run and we are hoping to raise as much as we can for PIPS."
The half marathon, from PIPS at Antrim Road to Sandyknowes roundabout and back, takes place on Saturday, July 21. Participants are asked to assemble at the PIPS office on the Antrim Road at 9am.
Donations to the appeal can be made through the PIPS office or online at moneygiving.com/PIPS_Fundraisingasfadfa

The heart of many hydraulic systems is somewhat of an allrounder and impresses with its high pressure build-up speed for precise and flexible drives.
Hydraulic Power Units
The compact and easily integrated standard power units of the ABSKG family are ideal for use with machine tools and stand out in particular due to their robust aluminum tank and modular, straightforward, and maintenance-friendly design.
Variable-Speed Pump Drives
The Sytronix variable-speed pump drive allows you to reduce your energy requirements by up to 80 percent by leveraging actively-controlled power consumption to lower the operating costs for providing hydraulic pressure. The Sytronix FcP 5000 Basic Performance solution uses asynchronous standard motors to control internal or external gear pumps. They are compatible with numerous standard power units as a constant-pressure system in machine tools, for example.

The imprisoned members of the Pussy Riot feminist punk band say they feel no regrets about the irreverent "punk prayer" against President Vladimir Putin in Moscow's main cathedral that landed them behind bars for two years.
Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Maria Alekhina described their harsh prison conditions in interviews published on Wednesday in the independent Novaya Gazeta newspaper. They said they don't expect clemency from authorities.
Tolokonnikova, who works at a sewing machine like most female prisoners in Russia's prison colonies, was quoted as saying she has had her fingers punctured by the needle but has picked up speed and experience and can now meet her quota of making lining for 320 jackets a day.
Like other prisoners, she bathes once a week and uses cold water to wash the rest of the week.
"I am not paying much attention to living conditions," she said in an interview filmed last month. "I'm ascetic, and living conditions matter little for me."
Tolokonnikova said she meditates to prevent her spirit from being dulled by the monotonous labour. She added that the main thing she misses at her prison colony is the ability to read freely.
Three members of Pussy Riot were found guilty of hooliganism motivated by religious hatred in August after they raucously prayed to the Virgin Mary for the deliverance from Putin at Christ the Savior Cathedral.
One of them, Yekaterina Samutsevich, was later released on appeal, but Tolokonnikova and Alekhina were sent to prison colonies last autumn.
Tolokonnikova argued that their protest wasn't aimed at religion. "It was an ironic, cheerful and bold act, a political outcry, so to speak," she said, adding that the Russian state media interpretation of it as a blasphemous action was deliberately wrong.

This recipe was one based on a soup my mother used to make but which I don't have a recipe on-hand for. Trying to find one online didn't work either as most cabbage and sausage soups seemed to be tomato based which wasn't what I was looking for. The creamy soups I've been having for the last few months have spoiled me a little, but either way this soup is not the best I've made – it needs a little something to boost the flavour – though the blended version seemed to have brought them out better. I actually love soft boiled cabbage, but if you don't then this soup is definitely not for you!
Going to have to go back to the drawing board on this one, really.
Saturday soups is probably going to have to change to Sunday soups from now on. During the summer, I had free Saturdays and busy Sundays and whilst Sundays remain busy, I now have tabletop gaming on a Saturday throughout the day. This means I can't sit and write a post during the day and get a bit overtired at night (as happened yesterday). This week blind-sided me a little, hence the post today, but I'm going to give it a few weeks of trying to get most of a post done on a Friday night before admitting defeat!

Today, Microsoft president and chief legal officer Brad Smith sent a letter to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Secretary of Homeland Security John Kelly in which he pushed for the Trump administration to make exceptions for people who may be nationals of the seven majority-Muslim countries on the ban list, but have already been vetted and pose no threat to national security. He said that 76 Microsoft employees (and 41 of their dependents) with nonimmigrant visas fall into this category and have been separated from their families because of the executive order. Smith called on President Trump and his team to create a new category that would classify such individuals as "Responsible Known Traveler with Pressing Needs."

Jessa and Jill Duggar Admit They've Tried Alcohol: 'Not On Purpose'
'It don't taste good.'
Jessa and Jill Duggar may have followed their family's strict rules to the letter while living under their parents' roof, but they admittedly slipped up a few times.
In a recently resurfaced 2014 Cosmopolitan magazine interview, the sisters, who were at the time 21 (Jessa) and 22 (Jill), revealed they had accidentally tried a few sips of alcohol here and there.
"Not on purpose!" Jill responded after being asked if she had ever tasted alcohol.
"We're really heavily involved in politics, and sometimes it's one of those fancy, ritzy events and they serve you what you think is punch and it's not," Jill explained. "You're like, "Oops, yeah, that wasn't punch. That was champagne or something."
While the sisters admittedly had a sip or two of alcohol, they admitted that they didn't feel like they were missing anything by choosing not to drink.
"It's disgusting tasting," Jessa said at the time.
Jill even said that she spit it out whenever she accidentally took a sip.
"I think it's true you've got to develop a taste for that stuff because it don't taste good," Jessa said.
As Duggar fans know, the family follows a strict set of rules including – no kissing, full-hugs, or sex before marriage, and no drinking of alcohol. The women in the family also abide by a conservative dress code, which only allows them to wear below the knee skirts and dresses — no pants allowed.

Despite everything I suspected to be true about American Folk Heroes, it turns out that Johnny Appleseed was an actual person. And not only that, but he was roughly from Around My 'Hood. Now, i'm not going to claim that Alice Hoffman has the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, but she does spin a damned good tale and there's usually some fact at the core. Her stories are Real, in the same way that the Skin Horse knows about "real".
So what we have, as a result of all this, is a phenomenal plethora of Apple Orchards. We have Apple Orchards of Vermont Life magazine, and we have Apple Orchards from Yankee Magazine. Now, if you ask my Texan friend Nancy what Fall In New England is all about I think the answer there is going to be Pumpkins. Pumpkins, and Winter Squash. Maybe Corn. But that's because there are only so many things that a Person Over 25 can stuff into four days, and something's got to give, and in her case, it was the visit to the Apple Orchard.
Apple Orchards, in New England, are a little slice of heaven. Especially the part where you drift in to the farm stand, in the hopes of unthawing the tips of your fingers, and are greeted with the aroma of Fresh Apple Dumplings In The Oven.
I don't have a lot of personal experience with the Direct Route to heaven, but the small experience I do have suggests that anyone on that path has their footsteps directly supported by the smell of apple dumplings baking in the oven right now. In fact, I'll go as far as I can on that. Just as much as I don't want to be frequenting no stinkin' heavenly paradise that doesn't accept ALL of my animals, including my 1200 pound Princess Bully, the Wonder Horse, and let me tell you, I wouldn't be having' any heaven that doesn't take my critters…I expect them to be there waiting for me… I am pretty sure that what those Pearly Gates smell like is apple dumplings, baking in the oven right now.
Really, once you have experienced this, you know. There is no better smell anywhere than apple dumplings, baking right now in the oven. Unless, of course, it is the smell of Huey's mane and neck. I do not include the smell of Huey's hindquarters on this list, because he gets lazy and doesn't hike his tail properly to Go when he's wearing a blanket. Yuk.
Back to the apples. You really cannot swing a cat here without encountering an apple orchard. It might be the incredibly derelict orchard at Tyringham Cobble, that drops rock-hard apples of some indeterminate antique variety, upon the hiking paths. It might be the pick-your-own orchards of the Berkshires, or the horse-draw-hayride-through-the-orchard of Outlook Farms in Westhampton. Or the pick-a-bushel and eat-fresh-dumplings of the orchards up by the Quabbin. Or maybe it's the Cider Days of Franklin County, and the superb vintages of West County Cider in Colrain, who used to supply Manhattan's Tavern on the Green before it shuttered. You can't go ten feet here without encountering fresh apples.
Personally, I pity those whose choices are limited to Galas, and Honeycrisps, and McIntoshes. Nothing is wrong with those…even I, from time to time, want to watch a prime-time soap opera like Grey's Anatomy. But just as Grey's Anatomy subsides into insignificance in comparison to Downton Abbey, or Breaking Bad, so does the Honeycrisp subside into insignificance in comparison to the Macoun. Or the Jonathan, or Pippin, or the Cortland, or the Paula Red, or the Rome. The Honeycrisp is fine, but sometimes the Discriminating Palate wants…more.
And more there is, and in abundance here. And that's the one thing I regret not being able to show my friend Nancy. Because in Texas, mostly, an apple is an apple is an apple.
Here, the apple is the starting point. Tonight, it was the starting point for a superb meatloaf (ground beef, ground veal, breadcrumbs, eggs, ketchup, Vermont Maple Mustard, and an egg, and for the last half-hour, a coating of fresh Macoun applesauce, mustard, brown sugar, and pepper. And, if things go really well, a freshly baked apple dumpling for dessert. Because who doesn't want to ascend directly to heaven, tonight.

Emergency bariatric admissions have significant implications
The National Health Service in the UK will face an increasing number of patients presenting with bariatric emergencies and is unprepared, according to two studies presented at this year's Annual Scientific Meeting of the British Obesity and Metabolic Surgery Society in Leamington Spa, UK, from 22 – 24 January.
The first study from researchers at Scarborough Hospital, Scarborough, UK, examined the issue of bariatric patients presenting with abdominal emergencies at a district general hospital that does not have an in-house bariatric surgical service.
The investigators retrospectively examined the surgical handover documentation dataset to identify patients who had undergone previous bariatric surgery and were admitted under the care of the general surgical consultant on-call during the period October 2009 to August 2013. Discharge data was then used to establish the patient's in hospital management.
Between December 2009 and August 2013, there were 54 identified admissions in 38 patients (aged 21-67, mean 44 years, 78% female), who had undergone a previous bariatric procedure either in the UK or mainland Europe.
Thirty five admissions (64%) occurred within the last 20 months of the study period (p=0.0026). Inpatient episodes were managed by consultant surgeons with the following subspecialty interests: colorectal surgery (44), vascular surgery (7), breast surgery (2) and upper gastrointestinal surgery (1). The previous bariatric procedure was a RYGBP (57%), L AGB (24%), LSG (9%), LSG to RYGBP (8%) and intragastric balloon (2%).
The majority of inpatient episodes were managed non-operatively (discharge diagnoses included post-operative pain, constipation, wound infection, abdominal wall cellulitis and cholecystitis), however a significant number of patients required surgical intervention during their admission (adhesive obstruction, incisional hernia, port site hernia, abdominal wall sinus, foreign body in abdominal wall, laparotomy for peritonitis) and two patients required transfer to other hospitals for management of postoperative intra-abdominal sepsis and gastric ischaemia.
"It is increasingly likely that the general surgical on-call service in non-specialist centres will encounter patients who have previously undergone a weight loss surgery procedure," said study presenter, Dr Tanvir Hossain. "These patients will commonly be managed by consultant surgeons with little or no exposure to bariatric surgical procedures. It is important for the bariatric surgery community to address the provision of emergency care to this patient group in order to provide optimal services for patients and appropriate support for non-specialist colleagues."
Co-authors of the study were Clare McNaught, Serban Giorgiou, Karl Mainprize, Karen Maude, Marcel Gatt and Robert Macadam.
Private bariatric patients
A second study by researchers from St Georges Healthcare NHS Trust, London, UK, assessed the activity of a 24 hour emergency bariatric surgical on- call service provided by specialist bariatric surgeons with particular emphasis on patient who had undergone previous private (non-NHS) bariatric surgery.
Between November 2011 and November 2013, all patients with an emergency relating to their previous bariatric surgery were referred to a dedicated emergency bariatric surgical service. All patients admitted from clinic, those who were diagnosed with non-bariatric surgical problems were excluded. The remaining patients who presented with a bariatric surgical emergency were recorded and their outcomes analysed.
Over the two year period, 71 patients with bariatric surgical emergency were admitted; 19 had previous surgery in the private sector (16 in the UK, 3 abroad). Of these patients,11 had a previous gastric band, two had an intra-gastric balloon, five had a bypass and one had a VBG.
Of these 19 patients only two were transferred to a private institution. Eleven patients required surgery on the index admission (two patients required two operations) specifically gastric band removal (four), repair of internal hernia (two), diagnostic laparoscopy (two) upper GI endoscopy (one), balloon removal (two) and resection of the alimentary limb (two).
"There is a significant volume of private patients who present as emergencies with complications related to bariatric surgery requiring NHS intervention," said study presenter, Dr Omar Khan. "These findings have potentially important financial implications for both the private sector and the NHS."
Co-authors of the study were Rajesh Kumar Jain, Nimalan Sanmugalingam, Marcus Reddy and Andrew Wan.

SPRINGFIELD – State Senator Toi Hutchinson (D – Chicago Heights) responded this afternoon after voting to override Governor Rauner's veto of a plan to institute automatic voter registration in Illinois.
"Voting in America today is supposed to be a fundamental right enjoyed by all citizens," Hutchinson said. "Years of hard work guaranteed that discriminatory laws and barriers were broken down to give women, people of color and lower-income voters the chance to have their voices heard. We should be working to advance these policies, making voting simple, easy and accessible for all."
Senate Bill 250, co-sponsored by Senator Hutchinson, would move Illinois into an opt-out voter registration system instead of the current opt-in system, meaning residents would be automatically registered to vote when visiting the Secretary of State's office and similar state agencies for services.
Four states, including California, Oregon, West Virginia and Vermont, have implemented automatic voter registration systems and have realized significant savings for local and state governments.

Changes in political and economic conditions on the other side of the world are being felt here as the national average price for regular retail gasoline increased last week for the first time in three months.
"Although oil prices retreated at the end of last week, it's likely motorists have seen the last of the summer price reductions at the pump," said Jessica Brady, AAA spokeswoman, The Auto Club Group.
According to a report in the Gainesville (Fla.) Sun, the national average price of regular unleaded gasoline is $3.38, 5 cents more than last week.
The price of gas peaked the week of April 6, when the weekly average was $3.92, AAA reported. Prices then entered a downward trend until last week when motorists saw prices jump overnight. Bullish news hit the market at the start of the month and caused oil prices to spike, which has led to the rise at the pump.
The two main factors that pushed oil prices higher last week, AAA reported, were imposed European sanctions against Iran and an agreed-upon plan by European leaders to save the euro and resolve the ongoing debt crisis.
The European news, among other things, pushed oil prices to $88 a barrel last week, however the upward pressure soon dissipated after more pessimistic economic news was released. A barrel of oil settled Friday at $84.45 on the New York Mercantile Exchange — 51 cents less than the prior week.
