I have never met Bruce Springsteen but have long been a fan. In the early 90's (at least I think that was when it was) I was working as a very young Detective Constable in Hertforshire Constabulary. A colleague and I had arrested a man for an obscure indecency offence under a very old piece of legislation contrary to some ecclesiastical act. He was a lovely guy and we felt a bit sorry for him really. We thought we could just interview and send him on his way home but it turned out that he was wanted under an arrest warrant issued by another police force so he was going to have to spend the night in our cells before being transferred to another police service the following day. My colleague and I went to visit him in the cells to break the bad news to him and this was when he told us that he had tickets to see Bruce that night at Wembley. We couldn't help but feel sorry for him because he was clearly a huge fan. We expressed our sympathy and explained how we couldn't possibly release him to go to the concert however much we might want to. And what did this lovely man do? He gave us his tickets and we went to Wembley in his place to see the great man concert! I wasn't a Bruce fan at this point but what a night! Bruce was on stage continuously for three hours. We were exhausted by the end of the show and I have been a huge fan ever since – so many thanks to the poor man who chose to commit an 'act of indecency' in our local parish church. I'd hazard a guess that most fans don't find Bruce Springsteen via this route!! Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
Completely 'off topic' for my usual blog posts, I thought I'd share a pretty amazing experience that happened to me this week …
….. o O o …..
Most people have a 'hero': someone who's had a strong influence on their life and who, for them at least, helps define their identity. Quite often as teenagers we 'discover' a singer, a band or an author. They become someone who 'speaks' to us in our language and who communicates shared feelings in a way that no one else can. My personal musical hero is Bruce Springsteen and I was incredibly lucky to meet him in person in London this week. Bruce is doing a book signing tour just now, including several media interviews, and London was his first stop outside the States.
In Bruce's autobiography ('Born to Run') he writes about first seeing his own musical hero – Elvis – on the Ed Sullivan show in 1956. He conjures up the excitement with which Elvis burst into the mainstream, unleashing a musical tidal wave that soon swept away everything that had come before:
"Seventy million Americans that night were exposed to this hip-shaking human earthquake. A fearful nation was protected from itself by the CBS cameramen, who were told to shoot "the kid" only from the waist up. No money shots! No shifting, grinding, joyfully thrusting crotch shots. It didn't matter. It was all there in his eyes, his face, the face of a Saturday night jukebox Dionysus, the shimmering eyebrows, the rocking band. A riot ensued".
"When it was over that night, those few minutes, when the man with the guitar vanished in a shroud of screams, I sat there transfixed in front of the television set, my mind on fire. I had the same two arms, two legs, two eyes; I looked hideous but I'd figure that part out … so what was missing? THE GUITAR! He was hitting it, leaning on it, dancing with it, screaming into it, screwing it, caressing it, swinging it on to his hips and, once in a while, even playing it! The master key, the sword in the stone, the sacred talisman, the staff of righteousness, the greatest instrument of seduction the teenage world had ever known, the … the … "ANSWER" to my alienation and sorrow, it was a reason to live, to try to communicate with the other poor souls stuck in the same position I was. And … they sold 'em right downtown at the Western Auto store!"
….. o O o …..
I was a spotty teenager 35 years ago when I borrowed a copy of Born to Run from one of my brother's friends. The energy, sound and enigmatic lyrics just blew me away. In 1981, when all my own friends were listening to heavy metal or Two Tone I'd now found an artist who was 'mine'. Over the next 15 years or so I devoured every album and saw Bruce perform live a couple of times. (My only regret was not discovering Bruce six months earlier and seeing him perform in a small venue during the 1981 River tour).
I remember once having to write a creative essay in a school English lesson, aged 15 or 16. Stuck for ideas I simply wrote my own descriptive version of 'Jungleland', a gangland opera played out in Harlem's dark corners. I think my teacher's comment said something like: "What an imaginative story". It was, but I certainly can't take all the credit !
At university I bought many, many bootleg tapes of Bruce's concerts (still by far the best way to enjoy his music) and made a pilgrimage to Asbury Park in New Jersey in 1986. His music has never been off my jukebox and iPod playlist, and a major part of the soundtrack to my life.
But as Bruce's autobiography reveals, he struggled with his identity, fame and first marriage from the late '80s onwards. As his music seemed to lose its way so I stopped buying his albums and instead found other music to listen to. (Ironically, I went back in time to many of the same rock and roll, country and soul artists from the '50s and '60s that were also key influences in Bruce's music). It was only about five years ago that I re-discovered him through live concerts. Fifteen years of new albums had largely passed me by but the last live performance I caught in Glasgow in May 2016 was probably the best of them all. At the grand old age of 67 he has the charisma, energy and back catalogue to knock the spots off every other rock performer in the world today.
So it was against this background of admiration and deep musical influence that I was lucky enough to meet Bruce in person. It was an experience shared with about another (reportedly) 500 adoring diehard fans and gave a brief insight into what it must be like to have celebrity status.
I'd spotted a tweet (from Bruce of course) that tickets for his London book signing would be going on sale online. I not only had permission but encouragement to attend from my wife – which is to her great credit since she can't stand the man's music ! Flights, trains and accommodation were hurriedly booked and my boss granted my leave at short notice.
I arrived at Waterstones in Piccadilly where a long queue had been forming throughout the day and which snaked around the block. After a wait we were corralled and security-checked then let into the bookshop (which was closed for the afternoon) where we queued a lot more. It was a shared experience. Everyone there shared a common bond and passion for one man's music. Stories were exchanged: of memorable concerts, of pit queues, of holidays spent following him around European capitals.
Eventually, a cheer went up followed by a long "Brooooooooce" … he'd arrived. By the time I finally reached the front of the queue, which snaked around the bookshop, people were anxiously thinking about what on earth they would say to their great hero.
Five seconds was all it took. I passed my phone to staff to take some snaps, walked on to the red carpet to shake Bruce's hand, turned around for a few posed photos arm in arm and shook his hand again. I was then ushered out quickly by staff eager to get the next sweaty-handed fan into position, receiving my autographed copy of Bruce's autobiography on the way out.
So what earth-shattering words of wisdom did I share about my deep admiration for the man and his music? What was the memorable line I shared that summed up the strong connection I've had with Bruce's music for the last 35 years?
In the event, it was far from profound. (Me) "Hi!" (Bruce) "Hi!" (Me) "Great to meet you".
But we communicated and shared a brief moment. A once-in-a-lifetime experience for me and instantly forgettable for him.
It didn't matter. At the moment I shook his hand I realised he's just a normal guy. As he reveals in his painfully honest autobiography, he's just a hard-working man from humble beginnings who often struggles with life (suffering from frequent bouts of depression). He also describes more mundane activities such as the school run and making pancakes for his kids in the mornings. The myth of celebrity was shattered: an ordinary guy who just so happens to have an extraordinary talent for songwriting and performing.
Remember all the movies, Terry, we'd go see
Trying to learn how to walk like heroes we thought we had to be
And after all this time to find we're just like all the rest
Stranded in the park and forced to confess
To hiding on the backstreets, hiding on the backstreets
'Backstreets', Bruce Springsteen (Born to Run, 1975)
You can catch one of Bruce's TV interviews in London below, as well as his BBC Radio 2 interview with Simon Mayo. Here's another account of the Waterstones book signing event on the Backstreets website (scroll down).
Have you ever met your personal hero ? Have you ever met Springsteen ? I'd love to hear what the experience was like for you.

How to Pick Blueberries
Before you make your pancakes you need the best blueberries.
I grew up in the Garden State, in the southern part of New Jersey where blueberries were abundant. Something I learned was although blueberry picking can be fun, it can also be hard work that goes unrewarded if the berries don't make the trip home.
If you are in the mood for berry picking, there are a few things you should know befor trekking off to the berry patch. Watch this video for some great pointers on blueberries. Photo credit WikiHow
How to Choose the Best Blueberries.
Have you ever wondered how to pick the best and freshest blueberries from the market or field? Here are a few things you should look for:
Look for blueberries that have an even color with white blooms (if in the field).
Choose blueberries that are purple-ish blue in color and not light blue.
Make sure blueberries are not pink or very small in size.
In the grocery store make sure the blueberries can move loosely in the package. If they don't freely move in the container it could be that they are over-ripe and mushy or moldy.
Avoid buying frozen blueberries that seem to have large clumps in them. This suggests that they have thawed out, refrozen or weren't frozen properly.

Have you ever picked your own?
Blueberry picking at Cain's Orchard
It's amazing how many blueberries are picked from Cain's Orchard each year. Starting at 7am during picking season, the owner rings a bell to let people begin picking. Literally hundreds of cars line up with families ready to enjoy the day on this beautiful blueberry farm. It is estimated that 10 tons, that's right,10 tons (20,000 pounds) of blueberries are picked each day on this farm. Take a look and see.
Cooking TIp
To stop blueberries from sinking to the bottom of any batter, pour some batter
out first in a pan then add blueberries.
Berries often sink to the bottom because
the batter is over-mixed.
Lemon Ricotta Blueberry Pancakes
For over 100 years the Driscoll family has been selling berries that bring pleasure into our homes. It wasn't until the 1990's however that they introduced blueberries as part of their production.
You can learn more about this fruit giant, Driscoll's, and see this recipe for these great Lemon Ricotta Blueberry Pancakes on their website.
How to make blueberry pancakes.
Cooking editor Susan McMahon of Woman's Weekly (GoodtoKnow.co.UK) demonstrates her method of making blueberry pancakes. She makes a smaller pancake than I like normally, but I like the brown sugar and sunflower oil idea.

Chef's Pick: All-Clad 12-Inch Fry Pan
#1 All-Clad 12" Stainless Professional Grade Fry Pan
When I was researching this article I wasn't sure what frying pan would be the best for my readers, so I asked around. I mean, after all...we're talking fantastic blueberry pancakes were at risk here.
Chef George was kind enough to share what he actually uses and feels is worth promoting. His first choice was this All-Clad 12" Fry Pan. However, even though it is a good Professional grade frying pan he, also stated that it isn't a non-stick pan. You would need to oil, spray or butter this pan before you use it (which most of us do already).
It is dishwasher safe, but hand washing is recommended. (Lifetime warranty against defects.)
Driscoll's Blueberry Whole Wheat Pancakes
Although there are many good fruit companies, I've chosen Driscoll's for this event's festivities.
Driscoll's Blueberry Whole Wheat Pancakes make it a whole lot easier to eat healthier. What better way to have fresh pancakes than to combine two healthy choices makng a great tasting pancake. It's sure to be a crowd pleaser.
Good eating really stacks up with this recipe. Check it out.

Gluten-Free Blueberry Pancakes
Allergies? No worries with Driscoll's gluten-free blueberry pancake recipe. This recipe could prove to be a favorite with flaxseeds added into the gluten-free flour. It's definitely worth trying.
Top them with warm maple syrup and butter, and you've got it made.
Blueberry Pancakes with Nutmeg
For me, extra vanilla and a touch of nutmeg makes the pancakes burst with flavor. Tristan uses buttermilk, baking soda and baking powder in this blueberry pancake recipe.

I HOP Exchange for a Crown
She flipped over the opportunity.
January is National Pancake Month, and major restaurants are on board making it memorable. One such company is IHOP. For several years now IHOP has asked the Crowned Miss America to exchange her golden jewels and gown for a spatula and apron. Laura Kaeppeler, Miss America 2012 agreed to serve as spokesperson for IHOP's National Pancake Day last year in order to help raise money for the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.
Each year IHOP restaurants give millions of fluffy buttermilk pancakes away hoping their customers will make a donation to the hospitals. For more information about IHOP and National Pancake Day visit their website.

Original Pancake Christmas House
This is Idaho's Original Pancake and Christmas House!
It took George and Bonnie Bertram years to plan out this giant of a restaurant stretching 11,000 square feet. Their dreams came true after 8 months from the ground breaking for this new building. The former restaurant could fit entirely in the new restaurant's kitchen!

Misty 1 Gallon Blueberry Plant
I love this potted fruit delight. The blueberry plant known as "Misty" is one of the most beautiful, hearty and vigorous Southern Highbush varieties on the market.
It's perfect for growing zones 5-7 yieldng abundant fruit in the summer. A blueberry lovers favorite. It's available on Amazon.
Top Hat Dwarf Blueberry Plant
People who grow blueberries know that these plants are more than just a mere fruit bush. Growers have long used blueberry plants as decorative plants in their bonsai gardens, because of their beautiful leaves and spring flowers.
Another attraction of this particular blueberry plant is that is doesn't get very big; only about 2 feet at maturity, and it is self-pollinating. No need to have loads of extra plants for fruit to be pollinated. It's perfect when space is a problem, and can be used indoors as well as outdoors in the summer. Click on photo for details.

Nice. Blessed :)
Mmmmm - lOve blueberries! I have to admit that if I were to attempt to make blueberry pancakes.... they'd end up just pancakes because the blueberries wouldn't last long enough to be added ;) Love eating them just as they are. And they're soooo healthy! Unfortunately they're quite expensive here and don't grow wild, so they are a special treat... and coincidentally, having not had them for a very long time, I just bought some! Then saw this lens! :) Fabulous lens - great info. Blessed. :)
Dang - I just missed blueberry pancake day this year. Your lens is a wonderful celebration of blueberries and blueberry pancakes. Can't wait to try the blueberry ricotta cheese pancake recipe. ~blessed
Beaming to give you another blueberry blessing...I love everything blueberry and you have even more than everything here, a masterpiece of blueberries! I feel bad that I missed blueberry pancake day by two days. You brought back wonderful memories of growing up and walking through fields, climbing the rock hill through the forest and picking wild blueberries...eating to our hearts content. Then, after the first trip up the hill of the season, Mom would make blueberry pancakes, it was heaven and I can smell them now. The only thing better than blueberry pancakes is blueberry pancakes with Mom's amazing blueberry sauce for double the blueberry fun...wonderfully done and just plain refreshing!
YUM. I am so sad that I missed this crucial day! Blueberry pancakes are my absolute favorite. I am marking the calendar for next year :) Thanks for sharing this wonderful, delicious lens!
Blueberry pancake, yummy! We love blueberries not only of its taste but also of its health benefit. Thanks!
Fun lens! Liked!
I found this lens just in time.....I think I will celebrate National Blueberry Pancake day tomorrow!!! Great Lens!

great article, I remember going camping when I was a kid, we would pick blueberries and put them in our pancake batter for breakfast. It was the best pancakes ever!
This is a holiday I'm all in on...;) Love those blueberry pancakes!
Great lens.. wow so impressive as you covered everything imaginable about blueberries. Have a BERRY happy day! Angel blessed.
I just bought some blueberries yesterday.
Thanks for the idea of the pancakes.
I always have blueberries in the freezer.They're my favorite berry! They might be my favorite food group! I loved this lens!
What a delicious sounding holiday - blessed by a SquidAngel! :)

Most things are cute or they are not cute. Similarly, either something is nightmare inducing, or not nightmare inducing. So, how exactly do you get something that is both cute and nightmare inducing? Well the internet has an answer! Yeah, seriously. How? Who knows. But here we are with a nightmare inducing list of things that are kind of cute but quickly become not cute, or are somehow both cute and creepy at the same time!
Prepare to have your mind blown. Or, at the very least, gently tingled.
A bear walking upright
2. Awwww it's a cat in a bla—ARAHRARHARGH
Come here my precious...
3. Ooooh, a cat about to jump across a bath, I bet it's gonna—Oh Jesus Christ it just… gross…
I needed a laugh
4. BLEP! I love this gif.
Mmmm Peanut Butter
5. A dog riding a bike… who knew it would be so freaking terrifying
G'night, Imgur.
6. Who's a good boy! Who's a good… uh. I'm not cleaning that.
What a cute do- OH MY GOD
7. I love his spirit, but I'd be lying if this dog doesn't creep me out a little
Having two legs never stopped this little guy.

Whether you are already working a mobile retail enterprise, or are beginning the process of opening one, we now have a variety of free and paid providers to help you along your journey. My middle son drove a truck for a number of years, positive the fantastic thing about different states was great for brand spanking new eyes but these eyes get tired after driving for miles and miles. Most good food trucks can have a marriage menu so that you can look at. A good rule of thumb, if the meals trucker does not have a wedding menu, they will be the right particular person for the job. Most rat rod trucks have a lowered high as a result of the home windows on the older trucks are humongous and look silly. You can purchase The Treats Truck Baking Book at our shop, at bookstores or on Amazon.
In fact, they're acknowledged as the largest truck manufacturer on 2005, beating the Daimler, Volvo, and Volkswagen groups. I'm not talking in regards to the elements which can be apparent and easily inspected, slightly, I'm speaking in regards to the components that may't be seen or inspected and are only observed when there's a drawback. The truck was used to assemble river stones from the local river alluvial, railroad car siding, tiles used as basalt from Long Beach harbor and broken concrete from a Holt Avenue resurfacing. Therefore, it makes sense to find out the benefits and main characteristics of used trucks to help individuals make the only option.
I'm unsure, however I don't suppose they make a forklift loadable rack, and I know they don't make a camper shell rack-which is a rack that might permit for a shell to be put in on the bed as it actually wraps across the shell. Another thing to bear in mind is that there could also be some indicators of damage on the finish of the mattress body. I simply bought a 2000 Nissan Frontier to take overseas for work (it is a King Cab, XE – i believe it has regular length 6.5 ft mattress – it is positively not a four door crew cab with a short bed). Around the truck there are metallic chains hanging from beneath it, dangling like tiny bells.
A massive proportion of refuse trucks within the United States employ CNG (compressed pure fuel) engines for their low gas value and diminished carbon emissions. I would love to listen to about more since within the truck accent business, there tends to be some really nice products that most individuals never know about because they are not out there all over the place.
Because lowering floor clearance also reduces aerodynamic drag (thereby enhancing highway fuel economy), most new trucks only have eight to ten inches of grand clearance…which is not much when you consider that some automobiles have the identical amount. This monster truck has 2 motors and actual rubber tires, so prepare for a true four-wheel drive experience with good traction. Have a 2004 F150 FX4 prolonged cab (1.5 doors i'm guessing) with 6.5 (finest i can measure) bed.

Art graduates showcase work at prestigious exhibition
Four graduates from the University of Wolverhampton School of Art have been selected to show their work at prestigious venues across the region as part of a major exhibition.
New Art West Midlands 2017 is the annual showcase for exciting new contemporary art by fine art or visual arts graduates from universities across the Midlands. Taking place from 18th February until 14th May, the exhibition will be held at Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery, mac Birmingham, Wolverhampton Art Gallery and Worcester City Museum & Art Gallery.
Graduates Susan Brisco (film/drawing), Pamela Fletcher (painting), Jade Hamilton (sculpture) and Sarah Zacharek (photography/video) have all been selected to take part in the exhibition.
Sarah Zacharek, 30, from Shrewsbury but now living in Wolverhampton, studied for a photography degree and is now teaching the subject at the University whilst studying for a Masters degree.
She said: "My time at the University changed me. I gained so much confidence, not just in my photography but in myself. I didn't go to university until I was 26 and I had no formal art-related qualifications. I hated my job and didn't know where my life was headed so I took a chance and went back into education to study something I loved.
"I'm so excited and proud to be part of this exhibition. I really enjoy talking about this work in particular, and the exhibition will allow plenty of chance for this. I hope to make new contacts, and I'm looking forward to seeing the work of my peers."
Sarah's work, Re:Discovery, is a collaborative project between herself and her late father – a documentary of the same journey taken 26 years apart which follows a route based on photographic negatives of her father's trip to his native Poland in the 1980s with the hope of learning more about the man who died a few years after the photographs were taken.
Susan Brisco, a mature student who studied for a degree in Fine Art and then progressed to a Masters degree at the University of Wolverhampton, said: "'As a young girl I was told art will be your hobby and science will be your career so I went into science. But art was always far more than just a hobby - it was a passion and now I'm an artist!
"The University's Fine Art staff guided me into creating intelligent and engaging pieces of art which explore the relationships between art and science. My heart's desire is for a collaborative relationship where art can communicate scientific ideas and research.
"I'm excited to be working with the other artists and engaging with a wider public. My selected art work is profiling issues of plant intelligence."
Susan followed the University's SPEED PLUS business programme and benefited from business mentoring before launching her art career. She currently teaches Life Drawing at the University and at Newhampton Art Centre as well as developing and delivering art-science workshops.
Susan aims to communicate 21st Century scientific research into plant neurobiology and bio-acoustics through the eyes of an artist. Using layers of projected film, drawing and sound, she creates her own response to plant intelligence and communication.
Over 180 people applied to take part in New Art West Midlands 2017. The 31 successful artists were chosen by a group of three selectors: Jason E. Bowman, artist, curator and lecturer at University of Gothenburg; curator and writer Angela Kingston and the Birmingham-based artist Barbara Walker. It showcases work including sculpture, painting, print, photography, installation, video and animation.
Now in its fifth year, New Art West Midlands has established itself as an important aid in developing the careers of artists. Previous exhibitors have seen their work purchased for the national Arts Council Collection and have gone on to achieve solo exhibitions in respected galleries.
The exhibition is organised by Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery as part of the wider New Art West Midlands visual arts network initiative. New Art West Midlands 2017 is funded by Arts Council England and the university and college partners with support from participating host venues.
Pamela Fletcher is producing abstract paintings with an emphasis on expression created through process. Through an exploration of material and method, painting has become intuitive, figuration alluded to as a result of a sensuous relationship with the paint itself.
Jade Hamilton's work conjures up a future post-apocalyptic scene where human beings have used up the earth's environment and resources to such an extent that it is impossible to breathe independently. Her sculptures make use of ready-made objects, planting and blown glass.
For more information please contact the Media Relations Office on 01902 322736 or 01902 518647.
Date Issued: 9th January 2017

Volleyball Sweeps New Mexico State To Open Arizona Invitational
Sept. 12, 2003
TUCSON, Ariz.- The No.14-ranked Arizona volleyball team over came its early match struggles to defeat New Mexico State 3-0 in the opening match of the Four Points University Plaza Wildcat Classic on Friday. Game scores were 30-28, 35-33, 30-19.
The Wildcats (5-3) opened the invitational with a flurry of hitting errors and missed serves. Arizona posted an uncharacteristically high 11 hitting errors in the open frame to hit just .175 and then added seven service errors to add to the woes. Still the Wildcats managed to limit NMSU (4-3) to a .139 hitting percentage and just nine kills in game.
Game two appeared to have slipped away from the Wildcats as NMSU held game point at 29-23. The Wildcats, backed by steady serving from Jennifer Abernathy, rolled off seven straight unanswered points to force the second frame into extra points. Kim Glass was the leading force behind the late surge as she finished the second game with 11 of her match-high 20 kills.
Game three was all Arizona as the Wildcats took advantage of NMSU's .071 hitting percentage while posting a .378 attack percentage of its own.
Glass, who led all players with 20 kills, also finished with five total blocks, including a pair of solo stuffs, and a match-high 14 digs. Sophomore classmates Bre Ladd and Jennifer Abernathy added seven and eight kills, respectively. Freshman setter Stephanie Butkus dished out 39 assists while also chipping in with a season-high nine kills and seven digs.
Arizona returns to action on Friday night with a match up with No. 11-ranked UC Santa Barbara. First serve in McKale Center is scheduled for 7:30 pm.

This post is based on reporting by Rick Dunham, Stewart Powell, David Barron and Sarah Tung.
The mistrial that suddenly ended the Roger Clemens perjury trial set off a debate in legal circles: Were the mistakes committed by prosecutors so egregious that they should prompt Judge Reggie Walton to dismiss all criminal charges against the former Astros star.
Here are some thoughts from some top lawyers and academics:
Geoff Garinther, chief of litigation for the Washington, D.C., law firm Venable LLP:
"It was a blunder, and certainly a significant one, and some people might think an inexplicable one, given that the judge had just made the ruling and all the government had to do was edit the piece of evidence that ran afoul of the ruling. But trials are like being in battles, and mistakes are made."
Garinther said the possibility of a second trial will hinge on the reputation on the prosecutor, and he said the prosecutor had a sufficiently good reputation that this will be viewed as an error rather than intentional or reckless action in violation of the court's order.
"It would be a very serious sanction for Judge Walton to say the mistake was so bad, so intentional in its disregard of my ruling, that I'm going to grant the ultimate sanction and dismiss the case. It seems unlikely, but it is possible."
Houston attorney Chris Flood, a former Harris County assistant district attorney who specializes in white collar defense cases:
"It's unfortunate that Mr. Clemens lost the opportunity to defend himself in front of a jury of his choice. The government should not benefit from its misconduct and should not be allowed to retry him."
Gerald Treece, dean of the South Texas College of Law in Houston
"If this case can go away because of this, I'm all in favor of it, and the reason doesn't have anything to do with the fact that I'm a Roger Clemens fan. It has a lot to do with the fact that I am a trial advocacy teacher. The mistake the government made is totally non-pardonable. If a first-year law student made the same mistake, he'd be in trouble. If you go out and get a judge's ruling and then you wander right into the ruling on something that's as crucial as the credibility of Andy Pettitte … usually mistrials don't lead to (double) jeopardy, but this might if it is found to be intentional."
Tom Melsheimer, a former federal prosecutor now serving as managing principle of Fish & Richardson in Dallas, said he expected Walton to permit prosecutors to retry the case.
"The court has broad discretion in ordering a retrial. Typically, the government conduct has to be very outrageous for the district court to conclude that a re-trial would violate principles of double jeopardy."
Carl Tobias, a law professor for 36 years currently on the faculty of the University of Richmond:
"I read this as a garden variety mistake and mistakes can happen."
Tobias said prosecutors' actions fell far short of the outright misconduct in the 2008 corruption trial and conviction of the late Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska. Attorney General Eric Holder ordered the case dropped after the conviction, in part because prosecutors had withheld from Stevens' defense team pre-trial notes that contradicted testimony by a key prosecution witness.
Daniel D. Blinka, a law professor at Marquette University:
"Jeopardy attached when the jury was sworn. And the constitutional protection against double jeopardy forbids retrials unless the mistrial was 'manifestly necessary' or 'the ends of justice' would be defeated unless there was a retrial.
"Here I expect the government to argue that the judge jumped the gun by declaring a mistrial, and that a curative instruction ('disregard that evidence') would have sufficed. In sum, the government's mistake was not bad enough to foreclose a retrial."
Bill Mateja, a former assistant U.S. attorney who oversaw Justice Department probes into white collar crime, health care fraud and corporate fraud:
"This isn't like the O.J. Simpson case or like the Casey Anthony trial. It's just a blunder by the Department of Justice."
Justice Department spokesman Bill Miller:
"Pursuant to the court's orders barring the parties from making statements to the media about this case, the U.S. Attorney's Office has no comment about the developments today."

White House introduces methane reduction plan
The White House has released its Strategy to Reduce Methane Emissions under the President's Climate Action Plan. It addresses methane from landfills, agriculture, coal mines and oil and gas operations.
With regard to landfills, the White House indicated the U.S. EPA will proposed updated standards this year to reduce methane from new landfills. Comments will also be accepted on whether standards for existing landfills should be updated. In addition, the EPA will aim to reduce landfill gas emission through voluntary programs via its Landfill Methane Outreach Program. This includes landfill gas-to-energy projects.
The plan also addresses anaerobic digestion systems. In June, the USDA, EPA and U.S. DOE, in partnership with the dairy industry, are scheduled to release a Biogas Roadmap that outlines voluntary strategies to accelerate the adoption of methane digesters and other technologies to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the U.S. diary sector by 25 percent by 2020.

Although every family is unique we find that most questions and concerns are actually very common and consistent across new Fosters. Regardless of your specific situation there's some basic information we will need for you before we can adequately answer them so please fill out an application first and our Foster coordinator will reach out to you and do an interview as well as address any specific questions or concerns you may have.
Our office staff are extremely busy and our rescuer and Foster coordinators in particular are often on the road and cannot field incoming calls.May I try to secure an adopter for my fostered dog?
Certainly, and all efforts to aid in finding a permanent home for the dogs are warmly welcomed. However, all potential adopters must go through the adoption review process to obtain approval by the organization. Please give us heads up if you believe you have a good candidate for your foster dog. We value our fosters' opinion as they usually know their foster dog best. Any input by the foster parent regarding its new home will be greatly considered in the outcome of the adoptionWhat am I supplied with while fostering?
We will supply all food, flea meds, leashes, collars, tags, and any vet needs throughout the fostering process. If you are fostering puppies, you will also be supplied with crates/pens and puppy pads. Food and care items are typically delivered with the dog and you are then resupplied at Adoption Fairs. If you notice that you are low on any supplies, please give us heads up before the next event so we can be sure you are well stocked until the next event. In case of medical emergencies we ask that you contact us and take the dog to a sanctioned hospital.What, if any, are the training requirements for dogs I care for?
Every dog is unique and will have unique needs. Some will be housebroken, but some will not. It may take a day or two for your fostered dog to get comfortable with you and its new environment, so please be patient and consistent.
You will be assigned a "foster mentor" and they will always available to answer your questions if you need any guidance. We will support you throughout this process by giving you efficient and effective tips as well as supplying you with any special gear or tools to make your fostering period successful.What is the process for selecting fosters?
After reviewing your application and preferences we try to match you as best we can. Of course you can refuse any dog for whatever reason, but we ask that you keep an open mind and remember that you are helping to save a dog's life no matter what their breed.What happens if I am unable to get my dog to a fair or event?
While we do have limited resources and ask that you make this commitment, we understand that life happens and we can usually organize alternative transportation if given enough notice. We would greatly appreciate it if you would ask a friend or family member to assist with transporting if you cannot.How often will my fostered dog be at adoption fairs?
We hold adoption fairs each weekend, except holiday weekends and sometimes not on the last Saturday of the month. Your foster dog will likely be shown at least 3 times per month. At times, when potential adopters want to meet the foster dog outside of the adoption fair, we may ask that you show the dog to interested parties at a time and place that is convenient for you.I already have a dog. Can I still be a foster?
Yes! We love it when our fosters are able to make new friends. Part of the fostering experience is to help shelter and stray dogs adjust to life in a stable home. When a dog is adopted we need to know how they react to dogs, cats, kids and everyday noises like the TV or vacuum.What happens if I am fostering a dog and it is too good a fit and I would like to adopt?
We understand that this is a likely scenario and would like to support our foster parents if they choose to adopt provided that they qualify to adopt (standard application process) and that there are no pending applications for the dog. The standard adoption fee applies. We would love to discount our dogs to our volunteers but unfortunately our vet bills don't feel the same way. If you think you would like to adopt your foster dog, please notify us immediately and you will be expected to finalize your adoption at the next adoption event, pending approval, without skipping a fair.What happens if I am fostering a dog and it is not a good fit?
We work very hard to support our Fosters throughout the entire process. If for some reason your foster dog is simply not working out in your home, please provide us with a 48 hour notice to ensure another appropriate place is found.What is the fostering time commitment?
We ask for a minimum of two weeks to help the dog settle into a routine. We prefer the dog stay in the same foster home until adopted, as the goal is to give our rescued friends the love and stability they need until they find their forever people, but understand that is not always possible.I've applied to be a foster but haven't heard back. Was I rejected?
We contact every foster and every adoption applicant, regardless of whether or not you are approved.
Please allow our staff 2 business days to get in touch with you – noting that they are at fairs on the weekend and may not review applications until Monday.
If you still haven't heard from us please check your spam folder and your voice mail! We have a busy schedule and if we can't reach you we will leave a message or try another way.
If it's been more than 2 business days (not counting the weekend!) and you don't have an email or voicemail you can follow up by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com
We try our best to be as prompt as we can be but sometimes emergencies throw the schedule.I applied online on Friday evening/Saturday/Sunday to foster a dog posted on social media and there's new posts up. Was I rejected?
We are not able to closely monitor applications over the weekend. If you are eager to get started on the weekend please come by one of our adoption fairs and speak to the staff. We can look up your app (or you can do one in person) and make arrangements for you to take a foster dog home!What is Foster-to-Adopt?
Foster to adopt is a TRIAL ADOPTION. This is not a fostering position, this is an adoption track. If you want to "rest run" a dog to see if it's the right fit for your home please fill out an ADOPTION APPLICATION.
During the week trial you will have support from us, and the opportunity to see what having that dog as part of your family might be like.
If it doesn't work out, no hard feelings! You can try a different dog, take a break, or just move on.I want to Foster-to-Adopt a dog. Which application should I fill out?
Foster-to-Adopt culminates in an adoption so you should fill out an ADOPTION application.I have a secure yard. Can I leave my foster dog outside when I'm at work?

As the national power-grid network becomes larger and more complex, achieving reliability across the network is becoming increasingly difficult.
Conditions and properties are available for utilities to use to keep power generators in a synchronized state and help make a self-healing power grid a reality.
New Way to Harvest Sun Energy
Quantum Cryptography to Secure Grid
HTL Process Big Bio-Oil Potential
Protection from Chemical Agents
This new type of design for a better power grid could help reduce the frequency of blackouts and the cost of electricity as well as offer an improved plan for handling the intermittent power sources of renewable energy, such as solar and wind power, which can destabilize the network, said researchers at Northwestern University.
"We will be looking at a completely different power grid in the future," said Adilson E. Motter, the Harold H. and Virginia Anderson Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Northwestern's Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences, and leader of the research project. "The use of renewable energy is growing. More people will be driving electric cars, and the power grid will be delivering this energy, not gas stations. We need a power grid that is more capable and more reliable. This requires a better understanding of the current power grid as well as new ways to stabilize it."
The crux of the challenge is for the U.S. power grid to function the power generators in each of its three interconnections (Eastern, Western and Texas) must be in synch, all operating at the frequency of 60 hertz. Out-of-synch power generators can lead to blackouts that affect millions of people and cost billions of dollars — losses similar to those of the Northeast blackout of 2003.
Having a network that can synchronize spontaneously and recover from failures in real time — in other words, a self-healing power grid — could prevent such blackouts. To help achieve this, power companies could apply the Northwestern guidelines as they add power generators to the network or tweak existing generators.
The research team wrote a paper describing the mathematical model, entitled "Spontaneous synchrony in power-grid networks."
When a problem develops in the power-grid network, control devices return power generators to a synchronized state. Motter likens this to using medicine to treat someone who is ill. He and his colleagues are suggesting conditions to keep synchronicity in good shape so interventions stay at a minimum.
"Our approach is preventive care — preventing failures instead of mitigating them," said Motter, an author of the paper and an executive committee member of the Northwestern Institute on Complex Systems (NICO). "The guidelines we offer could be very useful as the power grid expands."
Researchers derived a condition under which the desired synchronous state of a power grid is stable. They then used this condition to identify tunable parameters of the power generators that result in spontaneous synchronization. This synchronization can be autonomous, not guided by control devices.
"The blackout at this year's Super Bowl was caused by a device that was installed specifically to prevent blackouts," said Takashi Nishikawa, an author of the paper and a research associate professor of physics and astronomy at Northwestern. "A large fraction of blackouts have human and equipment errors among the causes.
"Reduced dependence on conventional control devices can improve the reliability of the grid," he said. "Our analysis also suggests ways to design control strategies that potentially can improve the existing ones."
Power generators are very different from each other; some are large and others small. Motter and his colleagues identified a "body mass index" for power generators, which they suggest should be kept approximately the same (making, in essence, all generators look the same to the network) in order to strengthen spontaneous synchronicity in the system. If the body mass indices change, they should change in a coordinated way.

How to Make a Whimsical Wire-Scroll Photo Holder
A beaded, wire-scroll photo holder is an inexpensive, homemade gift for anyone on your Christmas list. Experiment with different colors and combinations to create a personalized present, and add more wires if you'd like.
To make this project, you need the following:
Round-nose pliers
Three 24-inch pieces 16-gauge green floral and craft wire
Eight 5mm doughnut beads, drilled front to back, lavender
Five 6mm oval beads, green
Two 2mm round beads, blue
2 ounces of polymer clay
Start by bending 1 piece of wire. Use round-nose pliers to start a scroll design.
For this project, start the scroll on just one end.Here are the stages of a basic scroll. For this project, you start the scroll on just one end of the wire.
Continue to turn the scroll with your fingers. Create a rough, non-symmetrical scroll with at least five or six concentric (sort of) loops.
The loops will hold up your photo.Create wire scrolls to hold photos.
Measure down roughly 1 inch from the bottom of your large scroll. Make one or two small loops with round-nose pliers.
This loop will help hold your beads in place.A single loop, and a series of loops.
Slide beads on the wire from the bottom up in the following order: lavender, green, lavender.
Create another loop or two under the group of beads to secure them on the wire.
Repeat the process with the remaining wire and beads.
Vary the number of beads and the number of loops to create visual interest in your piece. Set aside.
Roll your clay into a ball. Slam it flat on your work surface to give it a flat bottom. Shape the top as you like.
Insert your wire and bead components into the clay lump. Remove the wires, but keep the holes.
You want to harden your clay with the holes already in place.
Bake the clay according to package directions. Allow it to cool completely.
Squirt a dab of hypo-cement into one hole and insert your wire. Repeat with the other wires and holes. Allow your piece to set for about an hour.
If necessary, gently arrange the wires, as you prefer.

All the photos are good, but the kinglet is to die for!
It was the morning of the day after Christmas and seemed like a good time to go for a long walk as a way of atoning for the sins of the last few days. Being a rather windy blustery day we didn't anticipate seeing many birds so we decided to keep the equipment light.
We walked for some distance along the Griggs Reservoir and, not seeing many birds, were kept busy picking up bottles and cans deposited along the shore by high water caused from recent heavy rains. Continuing to an area along the river below the dam, debris was clinging to trees indicating that the water level had been much higher during the previous two days. The water was still running high, swift and muddy.
We noticed a solitary fisherman, and given the time of year and conditions, couldn't help but think he was wasting his time. But to our surprise, he motioned us over, and low and behold, he'd caught a nice small mouth bass. It's appearance was ghost like compared to the summer but it was a small mouth and we were amazed. It was released it soon after the picture.
The small mouth seemed to be an omen of things to come because not long after we took the picture of TJ with his bass, a flock of about 30 Blue Birds flew overhead and we then started seeing Downy Woodpeckers, some Golden-crowned Kinglets and even a White-throated Sparrow hiding in the brush near the river.
The walk definitely exceeded expectations and I'm now thinking there may be room for another piece of pie.
What a delightful post! I should say after thar you deserved another piece of pie!!!

Wells Fargo plans 'quiet assault' on Wall Street from glass tower
As Wall Street remakes itself on a former rail yard in the far west of Midtown Manhattan, one surprising name is leading the way.
Wells Fargo & Co, the San Francisco-based lender known for its retail banking business, has picked out space for a trading operation to use as a base for a stealth attack on the investment banking world.
The bid for more capital markets business – from advising on deals and security issues to trading derivatives – is a potentially risky move by the third-largest U.S. bank by assets.
The boom-and-bust of Wall Street offers lucrative fees if Wells Fargo can pick up business left behind by rivals in the wake of the financial crisis of 2008, but trading brings extra risks and volatility.
Jonathan Weiss, who runs Wells Fargo's investment banking and trading division, said the bank's plans were deliberately low-key.
"We're not getting into things that are going to rapidly or dramatically change our business," he told Reuters in a phone interview earlier this month. "It's just a consistent, slow build-out. Add a person here, add a person there."
Despite Weiss's muted tone, Wells Fargo has made some headline-grabbing moves.
In December, it announced a deal to buy 500,000 square feet – or 10 football fields – of trading and office space at Manhattan's Hudson Yards development. Its neighbors will include private equity firm KKR & Co and media titan Time Warner Inc.
Earlier this month it clinched what is expected to be its most lucrative mergers and acquisitions (M&A) assignment in at least a decade. And it has acquired a license to trade credit derivatives, so it can take advantage of revival in demand for a product starting to overcome its association with the last financial crisis.
Wells Fargo built itself into the world's most valuable bank – with a market value of $243 billion – in the wake of the financial crisis partly because it did not rely on risky trades or complex derivatives to turn a profit.
It's quiet approach may be an acknowledgement that investors are wary of potentially risky Wall Street business and may mark down its shares, which currently trade at a premium to other big U.S. banks such as JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Gout Diagnosis
To diagnose gout, the doctor will take a patient's medical history, examine the affected joint and do a blood test. He or she will also ask about:
- Other symptoms
- What medications the patient is taking
- The patient's diet
- How quickly and intensely the gout attack came on
Details of the attack the doctor is looking for: severity of pain, length of attack and joints affected.
The doctor will need to rule out other potential causes of joint pain and inflammation such as infection, injury or another type of arthritis. He or she will take a blood test to measure the level of uric acid in your blood. A high level of uric acid in your blood doesn't necessarily mean you have gout, just as a normal level doesn't mean you don't have it. Your doctor may take an X-ray, ultrasound, CT or MRI to examine soft tissue and bone. The doctor might also remove fluid from the affected joint and examine it under a microscope for uric acid crystals. Finding uric acid crystals in the joint fluid is the surest way to make a gout diagnosis.

World's Most Poisonous and Deadliest Snakes
10. Rattlesnake
The only snake from the Americas on the list, the Rattlesnake is easily identifiable by the tell tale rattle on the end of its tail. They are actually a part of the Pit Viper family, and are capable of striking at up to 2/3rd their body length.
Most species of rattlesnakes have hemotoxic venom, destroying tissue, degenerating organs and causing coagulopathy (disrupted blood clotting). Some degree of permanent scarring is very likely in the event of a venomous bite, even with prompt, effective treatment, and can lead to the loss of a limb or death.
9. King Cobra
The king cobra (Ophiophagus hannah) is the world's longest venomous snake, with a length up to 5.6 m (18.5 ft).
This species, which preys chiefly on other snakes, is found predominantly in forests from India through Southeast Asia to the Philippines and Indonesia. Despite the word "cobra" in its name, this snake is not a member of Naja ("true cobras") but belongs to its own genus.
The venom of the king cobra consists primarily of neurotoxins, but it also contains cardiotoxic and some other compounds. Toxic constituents are mainly proteins and polypeptides. During a bite, venom is forced through the snake's 1.25 to 1.5 centimeters (0.49 to 0.59 in) fangs into the wound, and the toxins begin to attack the victim's central nervous system. Symptoms may include severe pain, blurred vision, vertigo, drowsiness, and paralysis.
Envenomation progresses to cardiovascular collapse, and the victim falls into a coma. Death soon follows due to respiratory failure. Moreover, king cobra envenomation is clinically known to cause renal failure
8. Vipers
Vipers are found throughout most of the world, but arguably the most venomous is the Saw Scaled Viper and the Chain Viper, found primarily in the Middle East and Central Asia, particularly India, China and South East Asia.
Vipers are quick tempered and generally nocturnal, often active after rains. They are also very fast. Most of these species have venom that cause symptoms that begin with pain at the site of the bite, immediately followed by swelling of the affected extremity. Bleeding is a common symptom, especially from the gums.
There is a drop in blood pressure and the heart rate falls. Blistering occurs at the site of the bite, developing along the affected limb in severe cases. Necrosis is usually superficial and limited to the muscles near the bite, but may be severe in extreme cases.
Vomiting and facial swelling occurs in about one-third of all cases. Severe pain may last for 2-4 weeks. Often, local swelling peaks within 48-72 hours, involving the affected limb. Discoloration may occur throughout the swollen area as red blood cells and plasma leak into muscle tissue. Death from septicaemia, respiratory or cardiac failure may occur 1 to 14 days post-bite, or even later.
7. Philippine Cobra
Most species of Cobra would not make this list; however the Philippine Cobra is the exception. Drop for drop, its venom is the most deadly of all the Cobra species, and they are capable of spitting it up to 3 metres.
The venom is a neurotoxin which affects cardiac and respiratory function, and can cause neurotoxicity, respiratory paralysis and death in thirty minutes. The bite causes only minimal tissue damage. The neurotoxins interrupt the transmission of nerve signals by binding to the neuro-muscular junctions near the muscles.
The symptoms might include headache, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, dizziness, collapse and convulsions.
6. Tiger Snake
Found in Australia, the Tiger snake has a very potent neurotoxic venom. Death from a bite can occur within 30 minutes, but usually takes 6-24 hours. Prior to the development of antivenin, the fatality rate from Tiger snakes was 60-70%.
Symptoms can include localized pain in the foot and neck region, tingling, numbness and sweating, followed by a fairly rapid onset of breathing difficulties and paralysis. The Tiger snake will generally flee if encountered, but can become aggressive when cornered. It strikes with unerring accuracy.
5. Black Mamba
The feared Black Mamba is found throughout many parts of the African continent. They are known to be highly aggressive, and strike with deadly precision. They are also the fastest land snake in the world, capable of reaching speeds of up to 20km/h. These fearsome snakes can strike up to 12 times in a row. A single bite is capable of killing anywhere from 10-25 adults.
The venom is a fast acting neurotoxin. Its bite delivers about 100–120 mg of venom, on average; however, it can deliver up to 400 mg. If the venom reaches a vein, 0.25 mg/kg is sufficient to kill a human in 50% of cases. The initial symptom of the bite is local pain in the bite area, although not as severe as snakes with hemotoxins.
The victim then experiences a tingling sensation in the mouth and extremities, double vision, tunnel vision, severe confusion, fever, excessive salivation (including foaming of the mouth and nose) and pronounced ataxia (lack of muscle control). If the victim does not receive medical attention, symptoms rapidly progress to severe abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, pallor, shock, nephrotoxicity, cardio toxicity and paralysis.
Eventually, the victim experiences convulsions, respiratory arrest, coma and then death. Without antivenin, the mortality rate is nearly 100%, among the highest of all venomous snakes. Depending on the nature of the bite, death can result at any time between 15 minutes and 3 hours.
4. Taipan
Another entry from Australia, the venom in a Taipan is strong enough to kill up to 12,000 guinea pigs. The venom clots the victim's blood, blocking arteries or veins. It is also highly neurotoxic. Before the advent of an antivenin, there are no known survivors of a Taipan bite, and death typically occurs within an hour.
Even with successful administration of antivenin, most victims will have an extensive stay in intensive care. It has been likened to the African Black Mamba in morphology, ecology and behavior.
3. Blue Krait
The Malayan or Blue Krait is, by far, the most deadly of this species. Found throughout South East Asia and Indonesia, 50% of bites from the deadly Blue Krait are fatal, even with the administration of antivenin. Kraits hunt and kill other snakes, even cannibalizing other Kraits.
They are a nocturnal breed, and are more aggressive under the cover of darkness. However, overall they are quite timid and will often attempt to hide rather than fight. The venom is a neurotoxin, 16 times more potent than that of a Cobra. It quickly induces muscle paralysis by preventing the ability of nerve endings to properly release the chemical that sends the message to the next nerve.
This is followed by a period of massive over excitation (cramps, tremors, spasms), which finally tails off to paralysis. Fortunately, bites from Kraits are rare due to their nocturnal nature. Before the development of antivenin, the fatality rate was a whopping 85%. Even if antivenin is administered in time, you are far from assured survival. Death usually occurs within 6-12 hours of a Krait bite.
Even if patients make it to a hospital, permanent coma and even brain death from hypoxia may occur, given potentially long transport times to get medical care.
2. Eastern Brown Snake
Don't let the innocuous name of this snake fool you, 1/14,000 of an ounce of its venom is enough to kill an adult human. Coming in a variety of species, the Eastern Brown snake is the most venomous.
Unfortunately, its preferred habitat is also along the major population centers of Australia. The Brown snake is fast moving, can be aggressive under certain circumstances and has been known to chase aggressors and repeatedly strike at them.
Even juveniles can kill a human. The venom contains both neurotoxins and blood coagulants. Fortunately for humans, less than half of bites contain venom and they prefer not to bite if at all possible. They react only to movement, so stand very still if you ever encounter one in the wild.
1. Inland Taipan
While I did say that I would not include multiple sub-species in this list, the incredible Inland Taipan deserves a spot of its own. It has the most toxic venom of any land snake in the world.
The maximum yield recorded for one bite is 110mg, enough to kill about 100 humans, or 250,000 mice! With an LD/50 of 0.03mg/kg, it is 10 times as venomous as the Mojave Rattlesnake, and 50 times more than the common Cobra. Fortunately, the Inland Taipan is not particularly aggressive and is rarely encountered by humans in the wild.
No fatalities have ever been recorded, though it could potentially kill an adult human within 45 minutes.

But problem is when I try to load some of those objects(which is not more than 1.5 GB altogether), I get same error again. Can someone please help? why am I getting this error? does R need more space than the actual file size? I may buy new machine if its something related to RAM size. but if it is some R problem then it will be very useless to buy new machine. So, I really need to know why this is happening. Most like it's a "RAM problem," as you say. I believe read.csv has better RAM characteristics if you set its "colClasses" parameter ... so if you know that some columns in your data are numeric, instead of strings, then tell it. If I'm not mistaken, read.csv will assume everything is a string first, and store it like that. -steve -- Steve Lianoglou Graduate Student: Computational Systems Biology | Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center | Weill Medical College of Cornell University Contact Info: http://cbio.mskcc.org/~lianos/contact

Our Clinic Policies
We are both a family medical clinic and a walk-in clinic. The priority of looking after patient would be as follows:
- Booked appointments
- Walk-in patients
This service is primarly for acute, immediate concerns. We wish to accomodate all walk-in patients and therefore have more than one doctor on duty.
We offer Medical Express which is a same day walk-in medical service.
Hours of Operation
The clinic hours are different Monday through Saturday and may be subject to change by management. If there is sufficient demand we will look at expanding our clinical hours to include Holidays.
One Concern Per Visit
To minimize wait times, please focus on your main issue. We are concerned for you and your problems. Please advise your doctor of all your symptoms and difficulties. Our doctors do their very best to handle all your medical concerns efficiently. However, certain complaints require follow up appointments. Please be prepared to return for any follow up appointments at your doctor's medical discretion. Your doctor will focus on your main concern today and if necessary, discuss plans for any other medical issues in future visits.
By allowing us to know what your main concern may be, also helps the clinic better manage patient flow and appointments. No-one likes to wait for extended periods of time to see their doctor, however, if everyone comes with a "list" it inevitably may lead to long delays. We understand that it may be very inconvenient to see the doctor and may require time off work. We will do our very best to accomodate all situations and emergencies.
We are located on 23rd avenue and 4th street south west with a parkade adjacent to our building on the west side of 23rd avenue for your convenience.
Uninsured Services
Alberta Health and Wellness may not cover all service fees. For example, forms and sick notes may require payment. All forms must be presented at the reception desk and paid for before the office visit.
Test Results
Please do not call for your test results. When you are sent for a test, ask your doctor if you need to come back to review results. Typically, you are expected to return if your symptoms remain or if you worsen, even if the doctor doesn't call you back. Doctors always call patients with significant results that may need follow up. If in doubt, please just come back to the office to discuss matters in person.
Expect the highest level of confidentiality from your doctor. You must provide written, witnessed authorization in order to release your medical information to anyone (even a parent, a counselor, or a spouse), unless you are with the person at the time of disclosure.
Termination of the doctor-patient relationship can be done at any time and can be initiated by either party. If a patient feels that the relationship is not working out, they can seek a new doctor. A doctor can equally decide if the relationship is not therapeutic, and if necessary, will notify the patient. If you miss three booked appointments or are abusive towards any staff member you will be discharged from the clinic. Clinic has zero tolerance policy regarding abusive behaviour towards staff.
Limited Wait Times
We value your time and patience. Our goal is to do everything in our power to ensure that you do not have extended waits. We are a medical clinic and medical emergencies will come up. Please understand that if your appointment is delayed it is due to an unforeseen emergency. Your understanding is always greatly appreciated.

Love, Love, Love the Red Arrows.
Hi. I'm back today with a different kind of post. No crafting in the last few days, as have been busy with other things - sorting out a new car, as my faithful old Daewoo Lanos failed its MOT and was beyond repair :-( The last two weeks have been the Farnborough International Airshow and living close to Farnborough we had the great advantage of being able to view the planes from our home (binoculars needed, but still a good view). Imagine my delight when I saw the Red Arrows. Love these guys, they are amazing and never fail to impress. Yes, I tried photographing them - among other planes during the 2 weeks - but without much success, so decided not to keep trying and to just enjoy them instead! Besides, as my Hubby said, I have some fantastic photos of them taken 5 years ago at Swanage Regatta - which I am very proud of, so I thought I would share a few of them on here. Hope you like them, and I will be back to crafting soon.

cost-effective email service for sending the automated & transactional emails
If you're sending thousands of emails a day, or are delivering your company's newsletter to millions of people, then you need to think a lot more about how your emails get sent. You will then very likely need a transactional email service, a dedicated email sending service that'll make sure your emails get delivered no matter how many you need to send.
Sending few emails at the same time is not difficult. Your standard Gmail account will let you send up to 500 emails per day, while hosted Exchange accounts will let you send up to 30 messages per minute. That is quite huge for most personal uses. It's when you need to send hundreds of emails a minute, or thousands a day than you need another solution.For most needs, the best other solution is to use email marketing apps or drip email apps to send your bulk emails and marketing messages. If you want a quick and simple way to email thousands of people a day, and even make your emails look great with templates and more, those are the apps for you.
But, they're not for everyone. Perhaps you have your own app, and you want to send emails through it. Maybe you like to self-host all of your business tools, or you'd rather be able do more with your emails than what a standard email app will let you. That's when you'll want to consider a transactional email sending service like Deliver2inbox that deliver most of the notification emails you receive in your inbox each day.

These are such handsome and unique presents for Father's Day (June 17). I love all of these pieces but think the desk caddy for pens & tools would have such a presence sitting on a desk or table. The waxed canvas tote is pretty cool tool. And, since the chalkboard tablets come in a set of three, I'll just have to borrow one. You can find these and more at Peg & Awl.
