GP locum reliance caused half a million overspend in one area
The cost of locum GPs is responsible for a half a million pound overspend in primary care in one area of Scotland.
A board meeting report said that the bill for locum GPs in Shetland was responsible for a projected £554,000, or 12%, overspend this year.
The report, presented to Shetland's Integration Joint Board, also said that planned targets for efficiency savings in GP employed practices and out of hours are highly unlikely to be met.
Eight of 10 of the GP practices in Shetland are run by the health board, which employs staff directly.
Locum costs this financial year include £67,000 for Bixter, £130,000 for Whalsay, £157,000 for Yell, £137,000 for Unst and £18,000 in Lerwick.
Overall in 2017/18, NHS Shetland is expected to overspend by around £2.7m.
Plans for how to address the funding crisis in Shetland are being discussed but have not yet been made public.
Speaking at the meeting, board vice-chair and local councillor Allison Duncan said the £554,000 predicted overspend in primary care was a 'horrendous amount of money', and he questioned what more could be done to attract GPs to the isles.
'I've said it before and I'll say it again – we have to make a case to the Scottish Government, because locums are costing us an absolute fortune.'
Dr Dylan Murphy, a GP at the Lerwick Health Centre and Shetland LMC chair, said Shetland was facing the same recruitment and retention problems as anywhere else but with the additional pressures of its rural and remote location.
He added that there was no problem finding locum cover and that his practice was currently training four registrars, but finding permanent staff was becoming impossible.
'There's always been the odd vacancy in Shetland, a degree of change, but for the past three or four years, recruitment has been very difficult and now we don't get any applicants at all.'
Dr Murphy added that they warned the health board that there would be a lot of doctors retiring who used to work 24/7 and it would not be straightforward to replace that singlehanded model.
'The younger generation aren't looking for that kind of job so we have to rethink how we do that.'
He said for the time being rural boards would just have to accept the higher costs of locums but there needed to be a 'coherent vision' for providing care in rural and remote areas.
Readers' comments (13)
I knew someone that worked in Shetland's healthcare and I'm not surprised they can only get locum. She described isolation (nearest hospital is several hours away!), no local collaegues, no career progression, long dark winter, no recreation that's available in mainland, alcohol problem rife etc. She left after a couple of years.
Can't really compared the recruitement difficulty here with mainland.....
Oh dear blames the locums...... divided we fall.... perhaps if the government actually funded General Practice properly and made it a job worth doing then people would want to become partners again....... I didnt see anyone discussing how much locum consultants cost in comparison (They don't get saddled with practice debts)....... the locum situation simply reflects the skewed values of successive governments, placing hospital medicine on a pedestal and letting general practice rot on the vine so that now no-one wants to take on partnership. Did anyone mention how much consultants get paid for clearing waiting lists????? I too was once one of those blood sucking locums......and now I get paid significantly more in Australia doing 9-5:00 resident in one practice without having to travel all over the UK, not having to pay for accommodation , not having to spend time away from the family, not having to pay higher indemnity, not having to worry about lack of sick pay nor paid holidays..... so what does that tell you about the current state of partnership in the UK if an Australian GP wouldn't go back to do the 'lucrative' locums used to plug the gaps in the service caused by the workforce shortage due to conditions created by the UK government that have driven doctors away from partnership? Am i a bloodsucker for getting paid appropriately in Australia or are the real suckers the ones proping up the system and allowing themselves to be undervalued? For the purpose of discussion my 10 sessions in Australia pays $440AUD /£250k GBP a yr for 44 weeks......am I a blood sucker? PS the local bariatric surgeon earns $4milllion AUD per annum.... 10 times as much as I do......Am I over valued or are UK GPs undervalued????? When justifying our self worth we need to look at comparable professions.......perhaps as I suggest the locums are not overpaid, but their partner colleagues significantly underpaid. That would be my proposition.......
How much do you think it costs to hire a barrister for the day, and if he/she needed to travel to 'work' their case how much do you think their expenses would be? Do you think you would get away with not paying every single hour of their travel? Compare how many years training a medical professional does compared to their legal counterparts. Do you think a barrister would fly economy? even descend to a 4 star hotel???? If anything the dramatic shift towards locuming is forcing heath boards to re-evaluate the value of General practice when they start to realise that even at £130k a year they can struggle to fill posts.......
The 'You can't earn more than the prime minister' brigade would have a field day if that 130K became equivalent to a real commercial value than market forces are slowly forcing.
However practices can't afford to pay that, which is dragging it down still. Once hospital and APMS practices with no ability to do work themselves, are forced to pay the going rate - all Hell will break loose as it will destabilise the market.
DOH and JH can't allow huge wage increases to be seen to be given to any one group, without cries for rises for all NHS, police and emergency services etc, and treasury can't allow that.
Fun days to come - but don't get hopes up for a pay rise until disaster eventually hits and retirement bulge bursts.
Sceptic you should visit Shetland.... the Gilbert Bain hospital is only hours away from the furthest islands, most of the population are no more than an hour away, and just under half the population live around the main town in Lerwick where the hospital is ..... and the helicopter can be scrambled if necessary. People who live on islands across the world accept this as one of the drawbacks when they make their decision where to live. There are still a number of GPs in Shetland, very approachable and supportive from my recollection. Long winter nights... yes the northern lights are truly awful.... and I suppose the very long summer days are just as bad. You forgot to mention ridiculously low crimes rates, low pollution and lack of traffic jams.....or the fact the schools are amongst the highest scoring in the country, or the facilities of the numerous leisure centres. That said their geographical distance does make it hard to recruit for them, but as a location, there is generally a high quality of life there and good social support. Most people leave their doors unlocked and frequently their keys in the car. Now compare that to Liverpool, Manchester and Birmingham......I lost my wallet in Shetland... got it back, all the cash was still there.... wonderful people! I hear a story that one of their anaesthetists found herself swimming with an Orca... doubt you'd do that in the Thames.....

I'm not an early morning person. I wish I was, but if I have no meetings scheduled I prefer to take my morning slowly. I like to make my coffee and prepare my own breakfast. Enjoy that moment in my kitchen and then start my working day.
But sometimes two is better than one, so after my first breakfast there are some places in Milan where I like to go for "Another coffee, please!"
I selected the three of them that meet my taste: they have both sweet and savory options, so you can get your brioche and do breakfast they way Italians do, or ask for your breakfast sandwich. So these are my recommendations for where to have breakfast in Milan.
Pavè Break
The younger brother of the first bakery opened few years ago. Everything is really good but be sure to try their brioche or croque monsieur.
Via della Commenda, 25, 20122 Milan
Bar Luce @ Fondazione Prada
The bar designed by Wes Anderson for Fondazione Prada. Small sandwiches and rice pudding are my favorites.
Largo Isarco, 2, 20139 Milan
I have different images of this place but focus on this: Stefania is the best pancake maker in Milan. That's all you need to know!
Via Savona, 2, 20144 Milan

Rainforest World Music Festival 2017 : My Favorite Findings
Had a blast during the recent 20th anniversary of Rainforest World Music Festival albeit having mild migraine attack on the 2nd day of the festival due to the pouring rain. That's when I knew my immune system was so weak hence lack of coverage on the night performances.
Put that aside, here's a recap on what I find interesting throughout the 3 days music festival. 😉
Greening Activity
The activity is done on an annual basis held at Kuching Wetlands National Park. It involved the music festival performers, the media team and the festival volunteer organized by Sarawak Tourism Board (STB) with the collaboration with the Sarawak Forest Department. There were 200 young loop root mangrove (Rhizophora Mucronata) were planted and expected that it will grow over course of time and will help preventing coastal erosion at the same time provides shelter and food for the depending species of animals at the area.
The loop root mangrove planting is not the only effort of going green but STB also incorporate new ways of reducing waste and carbon footprint such as providing shuttle buses to the festival venue to reduce carbon emissions, initiating composting any wet waste collected at the festival venue into biodegradable waste and also recycle the old promotional banner of last year festival into a tote bag. Creative idea, I must say! Looking forward to see more new recycle item to be introduced for next year festival.
Sarawak Biodiversity Centre
In my own term, Sarawak Biodiversity Centre (SBC) is an organization that is responsible to initiate conservation, utilization, protection program and also provides sustainable biodiversity development in Sarawak. They also served as Sarawak gatekeeper to those who wanted to access to the state rich biodiversity resources for research or for commercial purposes. The centre is running few programs and I was really attracted to one of its program: Traditional Knowledge (TK) Documentation. I hope one day, I'll get to work with SBC on this particular program (new addition to my wish bucket list).
During the recent Rainforest World Music Festival, SBC made their presence to the festival goers. IMHO, SBC should continue to capitalize the platform for public awareness at the same time for its branding purposes. I dropped by at their booth simply because I saw a 'rare' species of a medicinal plant that I failed to grow back in year 2009 (during my research on the Penan at Baram). Little did I knew, I got more than what I asked for. Let me share with you on the medicinal plant and 'LitSara'.
Jerangau Merah/Boesenbergia Stenophylla
I did blog about this medicinal plant before so I'm not going to write further about it. However, here's an additional information about the medicinal plant. Apart from an anti-drunk antidote, it is also said it's an antidote for poison. During the old days (my great grandparent era), black magic were widely practiced. Your food or drink can be spiked with black magic portion therefore for protection, one would slit a small piece of dried 'jerangau merah' at their teeth and upon consumed the food, the 'jerangau merah' would neutralized the toxic. It was proven effectively as per my family oral history however it is yet to be scientifically proven. Perhaps this is where SBC can play their part by applying its TK Documentation and also perform further scientific research on the plant.
Also, this medicinal plant only lived well on high attitude hence it is now grown commercially at Pa Lungan, Bario.
LitSara® – Sarawak's Pride & Joy
Lit stands for Litsea cubeba while Sara stands for Sarawak hence LitSara®. Litsea cubeba is a species of a tree that grows wild in the forest that bears berry like fruits. It has a strong crisp, citrus lemony scent and the plant has been traditionally used by the indigenous community of Sarawak for medication and also for food flavoring. Litsea cubeba is known as 'Pahkak' to the Bidayuh and 'Tenum' to the Lun Bawang and Kelabit community.
SBC partners with these indigenous communities to study and develop the innovative products through its TK Documentation program. There were 5 identified villages (Kampung Kiding Padawan, Long Kerebangan & Long Telingan Lawas, Pa Ukat & Pa Lungan, Bario) that share same resources and found that the communities has long utilized it for healing and culinary purposes. With that, various products has been produced from the mentioned plant as it has shown good antimicrobial and insect repellent properties of which making it suitable as an ingredient for personal care products.
For the record, LitSara® products are not available at any store but it is made available exclusively online. To support the involved communities, you can purchase LitSara® products at www.litsara.com. Your support is highly appreciated and LitSara® products is a community benefit sharing project. To know more about LitSara® story, do spare your time to watch the video. Trust me, it's worth your time. 🙂
Family Story : Weaving for Trophy Heads
When I get to glance through the festival schedule on the Cultural Snippets by Sarawak Museum section, I saw Vernon Kedit's name. I knew Vernon during Borneo Research Council Conference back in 2010 where I got to present my conference paper in front of him and other conference participant. So I thought, I must attend his slot as a sign of support to him and I knew for sure that he'll be presenting something interesting.
I was right all along. Here's the summary of his presentation.
Vernon was the 7th generation of his family keeping the family heirloom pua kumbu. This is not an ordinary pua kumbu. It is a pua kumbu specially knitted by his great great great great great (forgotten how many 'great' were there) grand aunt to welcome the enemies' head each time the warrior came back from a headhunting mission. To welcome the warrior home, the ladies are to welcome them with the pua kumbu and the warrior will hand over the enemy skulls onto the pua kumbu. The ladies will then bite the enemies skull, wrapped it with the pua kumbu, hold it like a baby then cried hysterically as if singing lullaby for hours. This is a symbolic ritual to welcome, mourning and blessings to the spirit of the skulls in peace.
Sape Master & Living National Heritage
I am lucky to have a good chat with Mathew Ngau; Sarawak's Sape Master and Malaysia's living national heritage. Mathew is also the Rainforest World Music Festival iconic artwork. The worry and concern on sape playing becoming a dying culture, had initiated him to bring the culture alive till today. I'm proud of his achievements and surprised to know that both of us shared the same concerns on the rising of new breed of sape players out there. Concerns on the future of the authenticity of a sape music, the different between the classic and modern sape music, sape music for single male/female and group dance performances not to mention the originality of making sape instruments and the mural designs on a sape.
With the modern technology nowadays, the sape music and the instrument itself will changed over time and it is already happening. I'm not denying that with the modern elements into the sape music does help the sape branding but at the same time, commercialization also took away the authenticity of the sape music. I just hope one day, people would appreciate the classic sape music more rather than knowing only the sape instrument. Before we departed, Mathew reminded me to send his regards to my mom. Mathew and my mom were schoolmates back then. 😉
The Security Team : Pentagon Security Services
I had my first Rainforest World Music Festival experience after signed up as a volunteer under the Security Team. We acted as the front liner as we were based at the festival venue main entrance and also at same strategic location within the festival venue. Before the festival goer gets to enter the festival venue, they will first to go through a tight security check. This is to ensure the safety of all festival goers at the same time ensuring a peaceful 3 days music festival.
So when I entered the festival venue as a festival goer, I knew the drill. I felt their long hour of standing, sweating profusely under the hot sun or soaking wet under the pouring rain, having not enough sleep as they will be the last group to leave the festival venue during wee hours not to mentioned have to act numb to non-cooperative festival goer's sarcastic rantings on the tight security check.
This year, the security team had set a record. Apart from caught some free rider (not going to upload the pic coz it could be your brother/sister/husband/wife) during the 3 days festival, confiscated items, illegal substance were found too. Good job guys! Bulih bah kalau kamurang! 😉
So, there you have it. I hope you've enjoyed reading this blog post.
To Sarawak Tourism Board, keep up the good work and thank you for the warm hospitality.
To Sarawak Bloggers, thank you for opportunity.
To my fellow bloggers who covered the event with me, thank you for the memories and experiences.
To A Woman's Diary reader, thank you for spending your time reading this post.
Cheers. 🙂

Song Saa Private Island
Looking for the ultimate castaway fantasy? Stop searching!
A little paradise of two islands known as Song Saa Private Island sits in Cambodia's Koh Rong Archipelago. Most of the Gulf's 61 islands remain completely undeveloped. Think Thailand 30 years ago.
In a setting of virgin jungle, tropical reefs and pure white beaches, Song Saa Private Island enjoys splendid isolation and occupies a duo of untouched isles. While Song Saa feels like you were stranded on a deserted island far away, it is only 40 minutes away from Sihanoukville on the resort's luxurious speedboat.
Fringed by a private marine reserve – established to safeguard the island's reefs and marine life -, this eco-luxe escape is like no other experience in Cambodia. Being green-minded has never been so glamorous. In harmony with nature, Song Saa Private Island is the ultimate in luxury, privacy and away-from-it-all seclusion.
As one of the most exclusive private islands in South East Asia, Song Saa hotel is hard to beat with its refined, rustic and romantic style, all in a sustainable environment. This deluxe resort features 27 one and two bedroom jungle, ocean-view and overwater villas. Each thatch & stone villa has a sea-view plunge pool, sundeck, open style bathroom, mini wine cellar, Bose sound system and iPod docking station, while original artworks and individual design details add a distinctive touch.
Other highlights of your luxurious stay include Song Saa's dining experience. Dine in style at the overwater Vista Restaurant, enjoy a casual meal beside the infinity pool or pick your own dining spot. What would you say to a castaway picnic for two or a romantic dinner on the beach beneath the stars? Without a doubt, chef Neil Wager's cuisine is a gastronomic adventure.
You'll spent most of your days outdoors – diving, snorkelling, swimming, kayaking, sailing –, but no one will mind if you do just nothing at all. Maybe there's only one thing capable of moving you, and that's the spa menu. Simply lose an afternoon in the Song Saa Sanctuary spa where they pamper you with treatments designed by Ila. Moreover, sunrise yoga sessions, a gym with advanced fitness equipment and boat trips to other islands complete your ultimate escape to paradise.
Back to life and back to reality…

It comes equipped with Gesture Control, Wireless Charging and Display Key, and an Active Kidney Grille available for the first time in the US market.
"We are delighted and honored that the BMW 7 Series has been recognized as the World Luxury Car of the Year," said Ian Robertson, Member of the Board of Management, BMW AG.
"Since it launched last autumn, the response from both the media and our customers has been extremely positive, with people especially appreciative of the way the 7 Series combines superb modern luxury with the outstanding driving dynamics BMW is famous for. With its many technical innovations, including gesture control and laser lights, there can be no doubt that the new BMW 7 Series is an outstanding flagship for the brand, setting new standards in its class."
The World Car jurors observed, "This is the flagship model for the Bavarian car maker, and so it simply has to be the epitome of what the brand represents in terms of technology, design and performance. And the new 7 Series certainly delivers. It is very much the new face of BMW in the new family design – and yet it is a classic BMW all at once. 25 new features, of which 13 are segment firsts! The new 7 Series brings in new features like the ambient 'sky lounge' sunroof, the ambient air package and the all‐new gesture control."

hello every body i see new game in google play like spinner fidget
he click on spinner if the finger right the spinner go right if the finger left the spinner go left . if touched not much he move easy if touched very speed he go speed .the spinner stoped with touch power if you know what i mean
how i make like this ?
no answer or just some helps steps ?
To answer the spin direction:
You want two real attributes (Touch_Start) and (Touch_Stop). Then make an actor on the background (size of whole screen) and when touch--> is down :: change attribute Touch_Start) to mouse.postion.X.
Then touch--> is released :: change attribute Touch_Stop) to mouse.postion.X.
Then (on release) if start is greater than stop, rotate at (whatever speed you want) counterclockwise. If start is less than stop, rotate (again whatever speed you want) clockwise.
In terms of a harder press--> faster spin and vice a versa, I don't believe GS can detect the pressure of a touch.
Perhaps link to a video. I'm afraid I really didn't follow your description very well.

@elementappdev CAN YOU MAKE A DEMO PLEASE BECUZE SOME RULE I DONT KNOW HOW YOU MAKE IT!
@Armelline I DONT HAVE A VIDEO BUT HAVE A LINK
You realize that ALL CAPS indicates YELLING online?

if i make spinner how i make it ? becuze i dont have a pro account ! and how i upload to gs ? i dont have a pro account you know i cant make any thing like this just i need to be a pro of gs games not make copy paste games
@elementappdev mean i make 3 rule ?.or just one rule and greater than in else ?
@iraqiraq Is this what you want ? i attached a demo
The centre of a triangle is 2/3rds of the way along each of the three medians, so if you have an equilateral triangle like a fidget spinner, and it is sat like an arrow pointered upwards (▴) the centrepoint will be 1/3 of the way up the image/actor, whereas leaving the centrepoint 1/2 of the way up (GameSalad's default) will give you that weird disjointed rotation !
Thanks for the info socks !
@iraqiraq This is simple , you only need the fidget actor and this rule
{if mouse button is down
(create another rule inside)
[if game.mouseposition.x > game.screen.size.width/2 ( if mouse is at the right side)
rotate clockwise
rotate counter-clockwise]
thats it
"i need him stop slow to 0"
Increase angular drag to slow down a rotating actor.
This spinner demo might be useful:
RThurman Your spinner example is just what I have been looking for to create a steering wheel for a driving game. If you could help further I would be grateful: How do you constrain the movement so it rotates only left or right say 45 degrees each way from centre? Many thanks
@tmagames It's unlikely @RThurman will see this unless you notify him which is what I've done by including the '@' symbol before his forum username.

@tmagames You might want to look at this example of knob rotation:
You just change the min and max values to get the limits you want. For your example you would use:
max(45,min(135, self.Rotation + self.changeInAngles ))

Reasons to Smile
This week I have more reason than usual to smile, as those of you who follow us on tumblr will already know. The super powerhouse that is Biggan Deisgn HQ have been furiously clacking away on their needles to get things ship shape and bristol fashion in time for a photoshoot for the website. As a result a larger than usual number of 4ply remnants have been created which is jolly good news for me. I've been given this delightful care package of colour which means just one thing – HEXIPUFF SUPPLIES!
Me + bag of little balls of yarn = manic smiles = attempting to throw them in air to illustrate said joy = failure. They went everywhere. Oh well.
Now that I've covered my smiles it's time to share a reason for North American Biggan fans to smile – Interweave. This year will host another special appearance from Biggan Ryd-Dups herself. She so adored her last trip she can't wait to get back to, with her glamorous assistant/daughter Ellie, teach classes, sell products and generally share the fun of everything Biggan Design is about. She'll be sharing her wisdom by teaching classes on Continental Knitting (trust me, go for it), Steeking and how to design a stylish knitted wardrobe.
If you're geographically lucky enough to be nearby the event then check it out, you lucky thing!
Happy Knitting,
Vintage Distractions
Sometimes your average freelance knitting blogger and yarn enthusiast will find themselves a little lost for ideas. The overstuffed bag of yarn has been sorted, you've finished an exciting project and can't bring yourself to work on any from the not-finished-so-I'm-ignoring-you pile. For me this particular malady usually strikes about this time of year, when the southern hemisphere temperature starts rising and the disturbing nearness of Xmas makes you give up before you've even started the planned projects for the rest of the year.For me there are two magic phrases that can lift this fog of seasonally out of sync knitting malaise. They are 'vintage knitting books' and 'Susan Crawford.'
A while ago I was stumbling around a market in Noosa and snapped up my first little collection of old knitting pattern books. Other than the appeal of neatly coiffured ladies in grey scale knitted wonders what I enjoy most about them is that they can inspire you to be even more ambitious in what you attempt. When you're mind is a bit sick of the old comfy jumper, scarves and hats routine it's great to see old knitted dresses, suits and skirts. Now I'm not yet quick or disciplined enough to make myself a whole spiffy suit of wool (like the game lass on the front of Patons book) but it reminds me that a knitted garment, especially one made with lovey luxury merino, can be classy as hell as well as comfortable.
This lead me, as it usually does, to browsing through Susan Crawford patterns on Ravelry and trying desperately to convince myself that buying her pretty books just to stroke the pictures would be financially justifiable. Her Stitch in Time two volume series is quite possibly what I dream about at night, the bright and fresh reworking of vintage patterns with that smack of sub culture cool that really get hands twitching for some needles and yarn. If that were not enough she even has a spiffy cape made using Biggan Design DK yarn, specifically Light Khaki 495 and Black 000. Check it out here – http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/town-and-city-tufted-cape.
It seems if you spend your time, as I do, perusing the knitting related websites of the glorious internet, that it is almost mandatory for every knitting blogger to try their hand at hexipuffs at least once. I, dear blog reader, am no exception. I am not immune to the power of the adorable hexipuff or the blind hope that one day I might turn them into a glorious beekeepers quilt a la the famous tinyowl pattern from which they come. For those new to the wonderful world of hexipuffs do yourselves a favour and look up them up on Ravelry because even if you don't want to make one yourself I guarantee you will be charmed by the creativity and enthusiasm of the pattern and people who are bravely attempting it. Anyway, the reason I bring this up here on the hallowed pages of the Biggan Design blog is that I think bubbly Biggan colours are perfect for this sort of thing.
The idea came to me when I was procrastinating in my usual way by taking advantage of being in the BD office to play around with the shelves and shelves full of yarn. Now I must admit this often results in nothing more productive than me testing out which colourways or challenging myself to try create the most lurid possible jumper stripes in my head (hint: actually very difficult with Biggan yarn – they all go so well together)! On this particular occasion however I spied some pertinent stationary in the office and it sparked the idea in my head that a bright beekeepers quilt in Biggan colours would be FAB!
So I set about utilizing the ever so useful scrap yarn basket to see how it would look. I have been terribly slack when it comes to remembering to knit them but I think my little collection of hexipuffs that I've made so far are a delight, like a box of sweets.
Apologies for the varying colour in some of them – phone pictures are not always your friend.
One of the greatest things about the Biggan Design range of luxury merino yarn yumminess is that the colours are all so carefully selected by Biggan that you could be certain all 64 could go in your quilt and tone with each other wonderfully. Plus there's the fact that the colours don't change seasonally so will ALWAYS be available. The point is that, while very much doubt that I'll have the dedication to finish them all anytime soon, I am seriously excited by the prospect of cuddling up a vivid bed of them one day.
Hope you are all having a good August, half way through the year already!
Photo Shoot Flashbacks
Some of the beady eyes amongst you might have noticed that we got some new pictures on our website a few months ago. Well, it was all down to a fantastic day-long photo shoot with resident BD photographer, the wonderful Hannah Millerick.
Check out her website http://www.hannahmillerick.com.au/ to see more of her stunning work.
Now that the chosen few photos are up on the website I thought I'd show you some of the behind the scenes/extra snaps to give you an insight into our hectic day working with babies, toddlers and yarn!
As you can see everything looks fantastic but it wasn't all pain sailing, You know what they say about working with children? Well, it turned out that while trying to focus toddlers on the camera required Ellie to break out her best yarn throwing skills ….
it was actually the blankets that proved the most difficult to work with. Trying to find the best way to capture all the texture and brightness of Biggan's best blankets required a whole lot of messing around with pillows, binders and various other building blocks to get the perfect look. It was all worth it though as the blankets look good enough to eat in the final products. Yum!
It was a massive job that required hands on deck from everyone. Here's a lovely snap of the Queen of the Shop knitting away to make sure everything is perfect.
By the end of the day we'd gone from smiles all around to a little bit unhinged. Even the ever dedicated Eleanor was starting to loose it! Celebratory g+t's at the end of the day were not just refreshing, they were necessary!
Until next time, keep knitting!
p.s. obviously all the nice photos are Hannah's and the shoddy camera phone pics are my doing.

12 Things You Should Never Put down the Drain
When our plumbing is working like it should, we often don't pay it a second thought. In not paying it much attention, we might grow complacent and allow things to go down our drains that we really shouldn't.

- Bake croissant sandwiches in the oven for 15 minutes at 350°F, or until tops of croissants are crispy and cheese melts (cover towards the end of baking if cheese needs more time to melt).
TIP: Don't overcook the egg mixture, it will taste too dry. It'll finish baking in the oven.
can I make breakfast sandwiches the night before?

Thaw sandwiches and bake in the oven, toaster oven or you can heat the sandwiches in the microwave if you don't care for a crispy croissant.
can breakfast sandwiches be reheated?
Yes! These breakfast sandwiches are great to reheat. Cover in foil and reheat in a toaster oven or the sandwiches can be reheated in the microwave.

Honeywell Provides 2017 Outlook; Earnings per Share Guidance of $6.85 - $7.10
December 16, 2016
Today, Honeywell announced its 2017 outlook and reaffirmed its fourth quarter and full year 2016 sales and earnings guidance.
"Our recent investments in the portfolio and development of new products, combined with the cost benefits from ongoing productivity initiatives, M&A integration, restructuring, and debt refinancing, have set us up for continued outperformance in 2017," said Honeywell President and Chief Operating Officer, Darius Adamczyk. "We anticipate organic sales growth of 1%-3%, segment margin expansion of 70-110 basis points, and EPS growth of 6%-10% (excluding pension MTM, debt refinancing charges, and 2016 divestitures), driven by the impact from high-return capacity expansions, continued seed planting in new product introductions, software and connected enterprises, and earnings from prior M&A. Our focus on HOS Gold, coupled with world-class processes and talent to drive Commercial Excellence, should continue to generate returns. We are building upon the strong foundation we have established over the last 15 years."
Adamczyk continued, "We expect another year of exceptional returns for our shareowners. I am excited about our prospects for 2017. We continue to have significant runway for margin expansion even in today's slow-growth environment, and our strong balance sheet will provide additional opportunities for upside."

6 September (Part 1) - Crossrail news from yesterday's Liaison Panel meeting
night saw the last of the Abbey Wood Crossrail Liaison Panel meetings,
or that was the plan anyway. There were so many unresolved issues that Chairman
Councillor Steve Offord (Greenwich) insisted that another meeting was
held soon after the station opens. It is still scheduled to accept its first
passenger on 22nd October with its official opening the following day.
The Panel meetings have nearly always generated more heat than light. Some residents have been seriously affected by garden flooding, unnecessary South Eastern loudspeaker announcements (and worried Crossrail will double them), light pollution and construction noises and rather too often no progress has been discernible from one meeting to the next.
It is easy to criticise Network Rail for a degree of arrogance, a lack of consultation and total reliance on the Act that allows them to ride rough shod over residents in order to achieve that October 22nd date, but getting to where we are now has seen some magnificent engineering feats achieved on time. Four years ago the only sign of Crossrail was them setting up camp in Felixstowe Road.
Whilst Network Rail has not been beyond reproach I have frequently found the attitude of Panel Members to be unhelpful to say the least. Everything from silly questions to outright aggression. Last night we had both.
Why would a resident want to know the specifications of the glass that fronts the new lift shafts? Does he really believe that qualified engineers would fit glass intended for a garden greenhouse? We learned that it meets all the relevant safety regulations but it is not bullet proof. Now there's a challenge for Abbey Wood's low life.
There has undoubtedly been terrible flooding problems for those who live along the railway's southern border. I am inclined to think that it should have been predictible that the deep piling and raised track bed might well disrupt ancient water courses but Network Rail's remedial plan to sink 30 metre bore holes and a network of pipes has not been well received by everyone. Some residents are hanging out for an unspecified but altogether grander scheme.
The probability is that if the scheme on offer is not eagerly grabbed with both hands nothing will ever be done. In less than a year's time Network Rail will be gone and half forgotten.
The flood protesters lost sight of reality when they insisted several times that Network Rail was entirely responsible for the flooding at the end of Wilton Road. It never happened until Network Rail dumped hardcore over a gully or two they said. It had not flooded since 1953 chipped in the Chairman.
Dumping hardcore over a drain could not have helped the situation but it was an engineering necessity. Having a gully sucker on standby was probably the most cost effective precautionary measure but claiming that the station entrance had never flooded before was the sheerest nonsense.
All of the photos below pre-date Crossrail and in 2009 Bexley Council sought my assistance to identify local areas subject to frequent flooding. These were among the photos I sent them. Needless to say Bexley Council did nothing.
The noise protesters may have been on stronger ground. South Eastern quite obviously make unnecessary announcements and in my opinion Network Rail did themselves no favours at all when their presentation referred to dropping the volume of announcements by 35% after 7 p.m.
What does that mean? Decibels are an awkward logarithmic measure which is far from being intuitive. Unless the level is halved the difference is unlikely to be noticed.
Residents were critical of South Eastern and claimed that the company had never done any research into the effectiveness of announcements. If so that is a damning indictment of their competence.
Their suggestion that announcements be switched off for two months and South Eastern monitor the number of complaints had been rejected out of hand. TfL was said to be just as bad. "You are not part of the consultation process, go away."
Network Rail's arrogance also occasionally shone through. They necessarily destroyed one man's garden shed and offered to replace it. The best quote he could find was £2,500 but Network Rail would pay only £1,000 on the grounds that his old shed was past its best. This is reminiscent of them removing the fences behind Coptefield Drive and refusing to replace them at all on the grounds that the fence was 30 years old and in need of replacement anyway. True but the underlying attitude is unacceptable. Residents are still in full view of trains passing 20 feet from their windows.
There was better news on the light pollution from the Bostall Manorway footbridge. The lamps had been dimmed but it would appear that no one had noticed. Not so good is that the ramps which were forecast to open in August will not now do so until January 2018 or possibly later and that the bridge, a well used school route, is, according to residents' reports, to be closed for a whole month in term time. No reason for that was given.
The Crossrail Complaints Commissioner appeared to be less than happy with the situation in Abbey Wood. He said he had attended 155 such meetings across London and the Abbey Wood team had "fallen behind other areas and [the railway] could have been delivered with a lot more finessing".
Despite the harranguing and accusations of "land grabbing" some useful facts emerged.
• The overhead power cables will go live on 1st October and the first Crossrail train is likely to pull into Abbey Wood on 31st October.
• Monday to Friday it will be stored overnight alongside the Abbey Wood platform.
• During the day it will be used for system testing and make its way through the tunnels towards Liverpool Street.
• The number of off-peak trains will be increased from eight to ten per hour and four more trains have been ordered to sustain that level of service. The peak hour service will remain at twelve, to Paddington only (28 minutes) for the first year of operation.
• The North Kent line will be closed on 17th September and 15th October in order to complete the station building. It will also be closed for the weekends of 25th/26th November and 2nd/3rd December to remove the redundant footbridge from the temporary station.
I would have liked to ask who it was who chose the horrible Brindle cladding bricks instead of something that might have brightened up the area but judged that there had been quite enough silly questions already.

Prayer Is Like Exercise
Prayer Is Like Exercise
By: Melanie Matthews -
February 21, 2011
Prayer is like exercise and I don't like to do either one. Everyone always tells you to pray and to exercise, but it is so hard! Faithful intercessors (such a small proportion of the world's population) compare to those who are Olympic or professional athletes. They are people whose feats are superhuman and who seem to set the standard. It's sort of like models and movie stars who make our ordinary beauty and body shapes seem less than best. Sigh.
But enough of this whining and moaning. It is clear that I am to "pray with out ceasing," "give thanks in everything," and "have no anxiety about anything, but . . . let your requests be made known to God." No wiggle room in the Scriptures about the importance of expected, habitual, faith-filled prayer—for the superhuman and the regular human!
Principles that apply to exercise for the normal ordinary person seem to transfer to prayer, too. Exercise requires a commitment and a plan. So does prayer. You get the best results from regular training versus the weekend warrior approach to exercise. The same is true of prayer. Once someone has established a pattern of exercise and has experienced the benefits, it is easier to look forward to the time of exertion. This is also true of prayer practices.
Here are some regular prayer actions I take. Recently a study of the Holy Spirit has led me to lift my arms to the heavens when my feet hit the carpet and as I stretch out the nighttime kinks to say "Lord, as I yield to you, please fill me with Your Spirit today." When I turn on our bedroom light and see the "be thankful for small blessings" written on the switch plate I am reminded to state the many things for which I'm grateful at the moment. I've been surprised how often this simple act tugs up the corners of my sleepy mouth and fills me with warmth and encouragement.
I'm a list person, so in the front of my Bible I have several prayer card lists that have requests and promises to bring before the throne each day of the month that direct my thoughts to productive prayer — for my children, their schools, and several missionaries we know and love.
For more focus, my husband and I have chosen a meal each week to fast and pray through. The topics vary according to what is going on in the world, our community, neighborhood, circle of friends and family. It has been a steady time of centering our attention on the Lord and His priorities, as well as deepening our trust in Him. We often learn what the Lord has been doing in each other's heart at a different level when we meet in prayer—that deepens our relationship and builds our faith.
Also, a couple books have shaped my approach to prayer. Conversational Prayer, by Rosiland Rinker, saved me from trying to sound holy to instead "talking with God" in normal conversation as it would occur around a dinner table. Listening Prayer, by Dave and Linda Olsen, challenged me to ask the Lord a question and taught me to sit in silence until becoming quiet enough to hear His answer.
Learning that the Lord wants me to labor alongside of where He is already at work has helped me to focus on a few requests at a time. This lesson has shortened my Please Save and Heal and Straighten Out lists of people/situations! This month the Lord encouraged my heart with a visible return. A neighbor I've had on my Please Save spot in my heart (a neighbor who I seldom see and who is clearly bitter towards God) recently bumped into me at a store, asked to have lunch together, and stopped by to hug me when our cat died. Isn't that just God at work? Guess I need to keep on keeping on in prayer . . . it's an exercise with results that can't be beat!

constructions on the Bible are the cause of a great deal of sickness.
Now I will give my construction - and if I do not make Jesus more of a man than the other -
then I never will attempt to explain the Bible again.
~ Phineas Parkhurst Quimby
Phineas Parkhurst Quimby
A Defense Against an Accusation
Of Putting Down Religion
I am often accused of putting down religion, and when I ask what religion is, I am told the same old story that everybody knows - to be good, worship God, etc. Now all this sort of cant may do, if it is not analyzed; but if you undertake to analyze it, it vanishes like dew before the morning sun.
Religion is what it was before Christ - and I think I know what that was. The religion that Christ opposed consisted in forms and ceremonies. Now why did Jesus oppose it, if their belief had nothing to do with their health and happiness? He never said anything to such persons, for he said, "They that are well need no physician." So if persons were well, it made no difference to Jesus what they believed. He came to those who had been deceived by the priests and doctors.
Well, how did he cure them? By changing their minds; for if he could not change their minds, he could not cure them. This was the case with the rich young man who came to Jesus to know what he should do to be saved. Now if the young man was really in danger of being doomed to eternal punishment, as we are taught, then all that was wanted was to believe. So if his belief changed him, I ask if it changed his identity - or his mind?
We are taught that man cannot do anything of himself to save himself, but was this the case with the young man? No, for Jesus told him what to do - to keep the commandments; and these commandments were not Jesus,' but Moses.' The young man said, "This have I done from my youth up." So according to the young man's story, he was a very good man, and Jesus found no fault with him but said, "If you would be perfect, go and sell all you have, and give it to the poor, and follow me."
Now here was a young man who had done everything to be saved, and Jesus would not save him, unless he would give all that he had to the poor and follow him. Now as absurd as this looks, it is quoted as a command of Jesus - yet you cannot find anyone that will comply with it. They get over it by saying that we must give up all sinful acts. Well, be as honest to that young man who went away sorrowful, for he could not understand. For his beliefs were so strong that Christ answered him as much as to say, "Go, give all your ideas away, and embrace the truth."
Now this is a fair specimen of the parables. Jesus never hinted that he or the young man had the slightest idea of another world, but it shows on the face that a man like Jesus could not be so little or narrow-minded as to send the person to endless misery, because he would not give all his riches to the poor. Such constructions on the Bible are the cause of a great deal of sickness.
Now I will give my construction, and if I do not make Jesus more of a man than the other - then I never will attempt to explain the Bible again. The Jews thought that they were the chosen people of God and were the best and knew the most. So riches were wisdom, and they were rich in the laws of Moses. This young man came to Jesus to ask him what he should do to obtain this belief that Jesus taught - eternal life. Jesus said, "Keep the commandments." This he had done. "Well, go and give away your ideas, and try to learn mine." This he could not do, for he could not see into it. So he went away sorrowful. Jesus' own disciples were in the same way, for they said, "We have forsaken all - what lack we more?" He then goes on to tell them what they must do, but they did it not; for they all forsook him.
Now if it requires such a sacrifice to go to heaven, then he never found one that went, for they asked him, "If these things be so, how can a man be saved?" He said, "Try. Many shall try, but few be chosen." Is it so now? No. It is the easiest thing in the world to get religion now. All that is required is to join the church and pay the minister well, and you shall be saved. Now does anyone suppose this was Jesus' mission? If he does, I am sorry. He must have a very low opinion, if he supposes that a man's salvation depends upon a certain belief. But it does - according to the belief of our day.
Now a belief is one thing, and the thing to believe is another. I will here illustrate. We all admit the spine. Well, how many have seen one? Not one in a thousand. So one tells what he sees, and all tell what they believe. Now suppose a person says, "The spine is affected," and another believes it; then to him it is so, and this belief makes him unhappy. Now is it the spine that is unhappy or the belief? It must be the belief, for there is nothing of the sick man but beliefs.
So you can see that all his sickness is ignorance (or beliefs). Now if you satisfy him that he is mistaken - and he believes it - then his spine is not affected, and you change his mind. Now he is happy. Is the spine happy or his mind?Now you see that the belief is one thing, and the thing believed is another. The spine is one thing, and the belief is another; so that our happiness and misery are only our beliefs, and the thing believed has neither happiness nor misery.
Now it is of vast importance to man to know what to believe, for that which we know we have no belief of - but proof; so that which we do not know is a mystery and causes a belief. Now there are certain things that all admit, based on scientific principles. Then there are other things that are admitted but have no proof; only as the error has made it. For instance, religion is one of the things that is based on an opinion and not on science.
The science is the thing (or substance), and the belief of it is religion; and we are happy or miserable, just according to our belief. The masses' and the religious world's religion is in their belief. Jesus' religion was the science, itself. So you see that man reasons about religion, just as he does about everything else - that the happiness or misery is in the spine, and the belief is something else.
Now here is my religion. Mine, as that of Jesus, is in my acts - not in my belief. The sick are in their belief and not in their acts; for if it were in their acts, they would be better. For to be wise is to be good; and to be good is to show your goodness in your acts. So if a man is sick, he is not good; and if he is not good, he is not happy. And if he is not good, that which is bad must be something else than good. His goodness is science (or Christ); his badness must be an opinion (or religion).
Now to be born again is to separate the true religion from the dross, and I know of no better rule than Jesus laid down. He said, "By their fruits, ye shall know them, whether they be of man or of God (or science)." Now I am willing to be judged by my works - and if they bear me out, then I do not know as the wisdom of this world of opinions has any right to pass judgment on me.
I will now show what Jesus' religion was. We are often told of the religion of Christ, but when we ask what it is, it cannot be separated from infidelity (or this world), so I will try to define his religion. You remember I said that a belief was one thing, and the thing believed was another. Now Jesus' religion was the Christ (or the substance), and the disciples and the multitude were the believers of the substance; not seen, but in the heavens. So Christ is the substance (or science) (or the religion of Jesus). The Christian religion is in a belief of that substance called "Christ," "Wisdom" or "God," - and my religion is my wisdom and not my belief. And when I come to the sick, I put my religion in practice - and not my opinion.
When I talk to the well, I talk about it; for those that are well need no physician. My opinion is worth just as much as anyone's. I look upon all opinions as man's wisdom; they are worth what they will bring. They may be right, but they are often wrong. When I sit by a person, if I find no opinion, I find no disease. But if I find a disease, I find an opinion. So that the misery that is in the opinion (or belief) is the disease. I have to make war with the disease (or opinion), and as there are a great many that make their disease out of the world's opinions of religion, it is my duty to change their belief, in order to make the cure.
It is astonishing to see persons cling to their opinions, just as though they contain the substance, when if they knew the substance of their belief, they would laugh at their folly. Now to me, it is as plain as twice two makes four. I can sum up the religion of this world and the religion of Jesus in one simple parable - that is the parable of the child, when the people were disputing about the kingdom of heaven. Jesus took up a little child from their midst and said, "Of such is the kingdom of heaven; except ye become as little children ye cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven." So the world, as a Christian world, has tried to imitate the child. And I cannot dispute that in most of their acts they have fallen short of the child - for he is ignorant of all their errors, and as ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise (or in error).
Now this is the true meaning of the parable of the child. Science is not included in the Christian religion; neither wisdom of any kind. The religion was made up of all the superstitions of Egyptian darkness, so that every man and woman was not in a fit state to become a disciple of Christ (or science). So Jesus wanted to show the people, by a parable, what was wanted to get a person into the right state of mind to receive the kingdom of heaven (or science).
Everyone knows it is harder to unlearn an error than to learn a truth. So Jesus - knowing that a child was free from both - took him as a parable; so that the Christian world must give away (or get rid of) all their errors and become as a little child to receive the Holy Ghost (or science). This was the new birth. Therefore, to enter into science (or the kingdom of heaven) was not a very easy thing. So if anyone said he was born of God (or science) - let him show it. For many shall come saying, "I am Christ," and shall deceive many; but by their fruits ye shall know them. So you see that Jesus' religion had nothing to do with the opinions of this world. His was of wisdom, and wisdom is something that is solid. Error (or opinions) are about this solid; and opinion is the world's religion, but Jesus' religion was the substance - and that was what the sick had been robbed of, by the blind guides. All I do is to put in their possession what they have been unjustly robbed of.

NYC Sports Medicine Doctors Offer Marathon Running Injury Prevention Tips
Posted by Jenn F. on Monday, July 14th, 2014
Marathon running injuries have been as high as 90% in some studies, according to the McKinley Health Center at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. "There is a particularly high risk for injury once a threshold of 40 miles / week is crossed," they add. The key to staying healthy enough to run a marathon is to speak to somebody "the minute that you feel a slight niggle," says the UK Guardian. It's a misconception that foot pain is normal and that you can just "run off" a marathon running injury.
Here at The Center for Podiatric Care & Sports Medicine in NYC, we treat a lot of marathon runners for sports injuries and foot pain. "Marathons and triathlons, as well as spartan-type races like tough mudders and Ironmans, are becoming increasingly popular in New York," explains Dr. Nadia Levy, one of our esteemed board-certified podiatrists. "We regularly see people doing these races because they are so popular, but under-training and trying to run through extreme pain. It is great that we are all more active, but the training should be adequate."
Three of the Most Common Marathon Running Injuries
A few of the most common running injuries for marathon runners that we treat include:
– Achilles tendonitis: Inflammation around the tendon that connects the calf muscle to the heel, which causes pain up the tendon when pushing off on the toes and limits motion.
– Plantar fasciitis: Inflammation along the plantar fascia that runs from the heel to the forefoot, across the arch, which causes stabbing pain — especially in the morning or after long periods of sitting.
– Peroneal tendonitis: Inflammation on the outer part of the lower leg and ankle, causing outer ankle swelling and foot pain that worsens after periods of inactivity.
Tips to Avoid Marathon Running Foot Pain & Injury
To avoid injury while training for a marathon:
– Focus on prehab, rather than rehab. Most running injuries are a slow buildup over time that could have been prevented. Get a complete gait analysis and professional assessment of your biomechanics before you start your training. We can perform gait analysis at our NY sports medicine centers. We'll be able to identify any instability in the ankles, knees, hips, or feet that may affect you in due time. We can then make specific recommendations for shoe choice, orthotic inserts, strength training, stretching, or stride-altering that can prevent injury.
– Start with a new pair of shoes. You need a good, new pair of supportive shoes. Forget the barefoot running trend, which has been shown to increase foot bone injuries, and go with the added cushioning and protection. The American Podiatric Medical Association recommends replacing running shoes every 300-400 miles. Alternating between a few different pairs can help you build your muscles and avoid repetitive motion injury. Podiatrists tend to like shoes by New Balance and Asics, but individual recommendations vary, so visit a NY podiatrist for a complete foot assessment.
– Switch to cross-training when you feel pain. Rather than go from tons of activity to a completely sedentary nature, try switching to low-impact cross-training activities like stationary biking or swimming to keep your fitness level up while you recuperate. Classic circuit strength training exercises should be done twice a week to offload pressure from stressed out joints and muscles.
– Slow and steady wins the race for beginners. If you are just getting started out, aim to increase your mileage by no more than 10 to 20 percent from week to week. When you increase your mileage, do not simultaneously increase intensity or decide to start running hills. There are many different strategies on how to get a faster run time, but beginners should be concerned with finishing before all else. Our New York long distance running trainers can help you create a game plan that will help you reach your mileage goals without injury. Don't go it alone!
Marathon Runner Training in NYC
The Center for Podiatric Care & Sports Medicine (with offices in Manhattan & Westchester) is fully equipped with a well-rounded team of physical therapists, sports medicine doctors, coaches, podiatrists, and surgeons. We can help you tackle chronic foot pain and acute injuries, as well as answer any questions or address any concerns you may have about training for a marathon in New York. Our center's founder, Dr. Josef Geldwert, served as the medical director for the Hamptons Marathon and was the former chief of podiatry for the NYC Marathon sponsored by the New York Road Runners Club. He has also served on the Medical Advisory Committee for the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials. Two of our other podiatrists, Dr. Ryan Minara and Dr. Nadia Levy, have also served as official on-site podiatrists for the Hamptons Marathon. For expert-level care, book your appointment with us online, so you don't miss a beat in your NY marathon training!
If you have any foot problems or pain, contact The Center for Podiatric Care and Sports Medicine. Dr. Josef J. Geldwert, Dr. Katherine Lai, Dr. Ryan Minara and Dr. Mariola Rivera have helped thousands of people get back on their feet. Unfortunately, we cannot give diagnoses or treatment advice online. Please make an appointment to see us if you live in the NY metropolitan area or seek out a podiatrist in your area.

I'm not a professional chef and I've had no formal culinary training. What I know and do in the kitchen comes from three women...Nana, Grandma Della, and Rose, my mom.

What I offer you is a lifetime of experience in the kitchen with my compliments and theirs. I hope they'd be proud. I will bring you my recipes as I make them with photos of the actual food I'm preparing. I'm no professional photographer either but I promise, my food will speak for itself in every picture.
