At least some normality returned to the weather this week with river levels in most areas starting to fall.
Emergency services have been under great pressure in the last few weeks but I am also aware of the fantastic help we have received from the local community, writes Inspector Steve Marsh of Dorchester police section.
On many occasions when roads have been blocked by fallen trees we have received offers of help from landowners and passing motorists who have the skills and equipment to help cut and clear the trees concerned so that road delays are kept to a minimum.
I would like to thank anyone who has provided such help over the last few weeks and also the majority of the public who have patiently endured some frustrating road closures and delays. Such closures are only put in place when absolutely necessary.
Shoplifting and commercial burglary remains to be an issue in the town, although we are very successful at identifying those who steal from stores.
Many are persistent offenders and simply continue offending despite regular attendance at court.
An overnight burglary took place on the Railway Triangle Industrial Estate over the weekend with entry gained by smashing a glass panel on a door.
Cash was then taken from the premises.
A few days before that we also had a car set on fire very close to the A35 at Monkeys Jump.
The driver had broken down and secured his vehicle only to discover later that it had been damaged and then set on fire.
We would be keen to hear from anyone who might have information about either crime.
We are still experiencing falls in domestic burglary, theft from vehicles and we have had some recent success regarding thefts from sheds.
My team will as ever be in the Library on Thursday morning.
Have a safe week.

"Very Nicely Treated by A & E Staff"
About: Tameside General Hospital / Accident and emergency Tameside General Hospital Accident and emergency Ashton Under Lyne OL6 9RW
Posted by DomB (as ),
My visit to Tameside Hospital Accident and Emergency turned out to be very pleasant and reassuring. I was advised to go to Tameside Hospital via speaking to an adviser on the 111 NHS phone number.
As I was losing blood from my back passage which was worrying me and with me having Aspergers syndrome it made me very anxious. Straight from entertaining the A&E registering at the Reception the staff were friendly, the triage nurse was very quick to see me and ask about my problems he was very attentive.
I didn't have to wait long till I was called through by the lovely friendly nurse who took me to the cubicle and bed and took more information and talked to me and got me sorted with hospital clothing. I noticed the A&E was very clean, staff were smiley and friendly. The Phlebotomist was friendly and professional took my blood made me feel at ease.
Then Dr came to see me he was ever so wonderful he introduced himself to me and spoken to me in a very nice friendly manner he made me feel calm and reassured about everything, talked about my problems with no rush and listened well to me, give me an examination, told my blood results were fine and referred to me to have colonoscopy for further examination just to double check everything is fine.
So I thought Tameside Hospital offered a great service to me and I am honoured to have met some of Tameside Hospitals wonderful staff.

It's that time of year--back to school! Whether you've already started or are gearing up, generationOn has LOTS of exciting new things to offer your Club this year!
Over the years, generationOn has focused on supporting youth in meaningful service by providing tools, resources and programming. Each year, we've seen the amazing impact youth have made on their communities through that service. We've also witnessed the positive impact that service has had on the youth engaged; how it has supported the development of key skills, like cooperation and critical thinking, as well as social emotional competencies, like caring, empathy and compassion.
This year generationOn is focusing on making our Club's curriculum more robust to help you engage in service that is truly life changing--for communities and for kids.
Here's what it looks like:
We're putting a stake in the ground about quality.
We know that service is most meaningful when it is comprised of a few key steps: Learn, Act and Reflect. For teachers, you already know this as IPARDE! For each service project completed, we want to support you in helping youth to:
- Learn about and investigate community needs,
- Take action through service to address those needs and;
- Reflect on the difference that service made to themselves, their peers and their communities.
generationOn has an abundant amount of resources to help Clubs LEARN - ACT - REFLECT. We have fact sheets, book lists, project guides, lesson plans, technical support and more.
We're focusing on the impact of service on youth.
We know that service helps youth develop key skills and competencies they need to be successful in school and in life.
- We want to help you focus on supporting youth in the development of empathy, caring and compassion, as well as collaboration, critical thinking and creativity through each service project and in the project planning process.
- Check out our new Empathy toolkit, created in partnership with Ashoka, for great activities and resources. And sign-up for our webinar series to learn more!
We want to be more connected with you!
In order to support you more effectively--we need to be more connected! We'll be offering more training, more tools and be reaching out to you more frequently to learn how it's going and what we can do to help your Club plan and execute on the most impactful service projects possible.
- Sign up for our Club's Facebook group to connect with other facilitators and generationOn staff.
If you are eager to get started on making your service work more meaningful, check out some of the tools and resources below!
- IPARDE Webinar Series is a guided series to help facilitators use the Learn - Act - Reflect service-learning model. The series breaks down the development of service projects into five steps: Investigation, Preparation, Action, Reflection, and Demonstration.
- Kids Care Club and Service Club Do Your Own Thing Guides help put youth in the driver's seat in the planning process of their service projects.
Planning Ahead
generationOn has lots of great ways to help kids and teens give back, show they care and develop new skills and competencies this fall!
- September 1 to October 17: generationOn's Rules of Kindness campaign, sponsored by Hasbro, challenges kids and teens to build empathy, be kind and show they care. Visit rulesofkindness.generationon.org to sign-up and be entered to win grants!
- September 11: generationOn has created a toolkit to help adults discuss, act and reflect on September 11 as a National Day of Service and Remembrance with young people. The toolkit fosters inclusion, peace and kindness, encouraging youth to act on these ideals through service.
- November 19: Family Volunteer Day is a day of service that celebrates the power of families who work together to support their communities and neighborhoods. Volunteering is a great way for kids and adults to make new friends, develop compassion for their neighbors and even pick up a new skill or two!

Dave Anderson & Friends Tuesday Night Jams
8 - 11 p.m. Every Tuesday
Find out what everyone is talking about. Join Dave Anderson, James Irvin, Tim Tucker & Stone Anderson for a Semi-Open Jam session featuring some of Huntsville's most talented musicians.
From Dave:
We've been so happy with the musicians turning out to the Tuesday Night Jams!!
So many great players/singers have been coming down and making some magic.
There are still so many musician friends we know that we would love to see come and play.
One of our goals has been putting players together who haven't played/met before and this has already really yielded some musical gold.
Please, please send us a message if you might want to come and we will help plan whatever you might want to do, or we can set the stage for spontaneity!!
For those musicians we might not know (or may know but haven't heard), please don't hesitate to reach out!!
This is not an exclusive club-we want to meet new musicians!!!
We may ask for video/recordings, but please don't be offended- it is to see where to fit you (and PLEASE don't take offense if we feel you might not be ready; it is not an open-mic, it is semi-open. This just means we want to keep it at a certain level. Experience is not necessary, but skill level is).
We would love to surprised by great players showing up.
That being said, we do have a certain amount of players we line up for a given night, so reaching out to us beforehand is the best way to make sure we get to play together.

About: Croydon University Hospital Croydon University Hospital Thornton Heath CR7 7YE
Posted by tjoc1605
Anything else?
Room not cleaned for 4 days, bin over flowing. Mother left in wet clothing for 3 1/2 hours even after asking night staff for help. An ulsar undetected for a month even though during that month Mother had hardly eatten, not 1 full meal. This went undetected even after it was pointed out on numerous occassions. Recieved phone call at 7am reporting Mother was found 'on the floor asleep', what was ment to be said was ' she was asleep in a chair on the floor' (showing the grasp of the English language the night staff seem to have.
On previous occassion was told by doctor Mother was fine to come home (even though she was gasping for breath. Next day 2 doctors said 'there was no way she was well enough to be discharged, hense a futher 10 day stay.
In my eyes the hospital needs to concerntrate more on the care of the patients and less on the beauraceats salaries. Get staff who care and can understand the English language. It doesn't supprise me the hospital has such a dire reputation, i've seen it first hand.
Response from Croydon University Hospital 4 years ago
We are so sorry that your mother's care fell so short of the standards we set. If your mother is still on the ward and you are visiting please ask to speak the senior nurse in charge at that time – or ask them to bleep the matron who will come to see you.
If you would rather not do this, or your mother has now left our hospital, please contact the PALS team and tell them which ward this was so they can share your comments with team (anonymously if you like) so they are aware of the problems you had.
You can call them on 020 8401 3210 or email firstname.lastname@example.com

Is that a black pudding in your pocket or are you just really cross to see me?
My imagination began to run wild when I heard the beginning of this report on the radio news today. I mean, what images spring into your mind when you hear that someone was in court, charged with behaving aggressively with a black pudding?
It came as a disappointment to find he'd simply hurled it across a room in a fit of rage. I'd hoped at the very least for something like Bill Oddie's martial arts exploits as a practitioner of Ecky Thump:

NCAA Championships Results
DES MOINES, Iowa - Penn junior Max Westman finished 21st in the decathlon at the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships. The final five events took place Thursday afternoon at Drake University.
A total of 26 competitors began the event, which started with five events Wednesday.
Westman's score was 6,115. Oregon's Ashton Eaton won the competition, scoring 8,055 points to finish ahead of Tennessee's Jangy Addy (7,916) and Florida State's Gonzalo Barriolhet (7,907). That trio finished well ahead of the rest of the field.
Westman's best finish Thursday came in the discus throw, where his top distance was 41.98 meters (137 feet, 9 inches) allowing him to place sixth among the competitors. He was in the middle of the pack in three other events, placing 15th in the javelin throw (49.93 meters, or 163 feet 10 inches), 16th in the 1,500 (5:04.18), and 17th in the 110-meter hurdles (15.25 seconds). However, Westman was set back significantly in the pole vault, where he failed to clear a height and scored no points.

With the exception of GTA V, The Last of Us was my most anticipated game this year. It should have been a day one purchase, but a certain Bioshock: Infinite and an embarrassing Steam backlog put The Last of Us on hold. Having finally got my gangly, spider-like prehensile mitts on the game it's time to discuss what all the fuss was about. Or should that be 'what was all the fuss about?' Oh how I love thee Lady Rhetoric.
The Last of Us tells the story of Joel and Ellie, two survivors in a post-apocalyptic United States in 2033. It's Joel's responsibility to escort Ellie to The Fireflies, a resistance group who believe Ellie is the key to finding a cure, ending a rampant Cordyceps fungus pandemic that has infected much of the US population. Those that are infected become ferocious monstrosities devoid of any humanity that once existed within the host. With the streets now reduced to either predatory 'Clickers' or small pockets of survivors, often with their own nefarious agendas, Joel and Ellie must rely on survival instincts and efficient use of scarce resources to reach their destination in one piece.
As expected, the majority of the game is set in what is practically wasteland, peppered with relics and monuments that tell of a once flourishing human civilisation. But interweaved between a seemingly inhumane environment is a noticeable sense of place and tangibility to those who once lived and prospered. Just when the world seems unbearably futile and void of any future, reprieve surfaces as you read a parent's diary of their last days, or enter a child's bedroom to find posters and toys in perfect condition, almost as if they persevere for a reason; a purpose.
Taking the time to appreciate and explore the incredible world Naughty Dog has created, you begin to comprehend and rationalise the decisions that people make in a moment of weakness; in fear of a more hellacious alternative. You open yourself to the dreams and aspirations families and society had before the infection took hold. You've never met these people, but you gain so much from the games subtext that you often can't help but wish to have met them, finding the opportunity to console them in this humanitarian crisis. In a world that's practically lost all sense of humanity and reason, it's ironic that The Last of Us turns out to be one of the most moral and emotive pieces of entertainment ever created, subtly encouraging the player that there is hope of a new beginning no matter how feral man has become.
Ever since The Last of Us was first announced it was hard to believe it was actual game footage. Well, the truth is it wasn't, but rather a pre-rendered in engine cut-scene that basically shows what Naughty Dog's engine is capable of. Having said this, it's often hard to discern between the pre-rendered and real-time cut-scenes/gameplay, a testament to how incredible The Last of Us looks. It still has an 'Uncharted' vibe which is hard to shake – apropos nonetheless given the inimical territory you must traverse to persist – but Naughty Dog's approach to a post-apocalyptic United States is exquisite in its fidelity and realisation, successfully marrying both focus and diversity to craft one of the most convincing game worlds to date.
The Last of Us excels is in the fluidity and startling authenticity of its animation. Minutiae such as accurate reactions to obstacles and hazards are realistic, with transitions from circumvention to assault being totally seamless. The jerking and unstable Clickers are a particular highlight, lending themselves perfectly to a heightened sense of tension and volatility when the odds are ostensibly against the player. Main and supporting human characters are incredibly life-like thanks to impeccable motion capture that goes beyond just lip-sync. Every raised eyebrow and painful grimace is captured in startling detail with an uncanny accuracy that it's impossible to think of the characters as simple works of fiction.
Exemplary minimalist composition effortlessly oscillates with the course of the narrative. Voice-acting is best-in-class, adding further conviction and gravitas that can't go unignored. Human tragedy and subsistence have never been presented with such exactitude and sentiment. With a fixed platform, Naughty Dog has fully utilised every iota of power the PS3 offers, and it shows. Bar some frame-rate dips during frenetic shootouts The Last of Us is an incredible technical feat and truly is of Hollywood standards cinematically; a fitting Swansong for this generation indeed.
As a narrative exploration of sacrifice, morality and the human condition, The Last of Us unquestionably sets new standards. From a technical perspective, it's practically flawless. You'll probably be asking yourself then 'why the initial rhetorical, when nothing but eulogy has been heaped on the game thus far?' Well, the reason for such discourse is because the game all but collapses in the area it matters most: gameplay. It pains me to admit, but The Last of Us was far from a joy to play and, bar a few sublime moments, was an exercise in frustration attributed to poor game design rather than any individual ineptitude.
Splinter Cell: Blacklist's excellent level design and finely tuned gameplay mechanics were fresh in the memory, and while I wasn't expecting an experience as nuanced, the least I wanted from The Last of Us was opportunity for experimentation that rewarded you sufficiently. On the surface The Last of Us ticks the necessary boxes: stealth takedowns, using objects as means of distraction, and crafting of 'homemade' weaponry certainly open up the possibility to test a wealth of gameplay styles, though circumvention should still be of priority given that ammunition is scarce and The Last of Us is predominantly a survival-horror experience. More often than not however, these sound fundamentals are broken when the game design is so flawed.
Your introduction to Clickers and other 'not so far gone' infected agents is the first instance of the above issues. A confined corridor with a few adjacent rooms suggests there is nowhere to hide should the proverbial shit hit the fan. Your only realistic means to cross this divide is to eliminate your foes silently with precision. A well designed game would allow for this approach, with fair, adequate challenge and a great sense of satisfaction upon triumph. However, I was regularly penalised for adopting what seemed the natural approach to the situation: remain covert. Too often I found myself scratching my head; I could not work out how it was even possible to successfully continue in this vain. Whether I was motionless, inaudible, undetectable or all three, it was more often down to sheer luck as to whether an enemy would notice me or not. Conversely, there were times I completely messed up, exposing myself in broad daylight that should have triggered an infected swarm all over my imminent carcass. However, these purported terrifying nemeses would often ignore me, impartial to the fact that I just gate-crashed the Clicker party.
This is just one of countless examples where the opportunity to play stealthily can be nigh on impossible. At the normal difficulty setting, The Last Us is one of the most punishing games in recent memory, all for the wrong reasons. As someone who loves challenge in games, the go-to example, Dark Souls, encourages the player to learn from their mistake, retracing their steps and developing a solution to pass that particular obstacle. It's about mastering the environment, your enemies and, more importantly yourself. The Last of Us is the very antithesis, punishing the player for unknown reasons in situations unable to be resolved through greater planning or understanding. All games should provide a basic set of principles that allow you to play in a certain way, with the player then taking it upon themselves to perfect these principles to progress. The Last of Us contradicts itself at almost every turn, providing conflicting messages that ultimately chastise the player through no fault of their own.
Such inconsistencies manifest throughout the entire campaign and spoil the experience. Ironically firefights, while naturally less rewarding, are the most reactive and predictable moments in the game. Of course this is wholeheartedly counterproductive to the game's intentions of remaining inconspicuous; engaging your foes front and centre should be a last resort. When the gameplay is balanced and AI reacts accordingly, it's so gratifying to clear an area with nothing but your bare hands and well placed diversions. Unfortunately these moments only occur a handful of times and, regrettably, only serve to emphasise how unfair and downright tedious the game is as a whole.
It has to be said that the second half of the game is an improvement thanks to more consistent game mechanics, yet it merely papers over the cracks of rudimentary issues that eradicate much of the enjoyment playing The Last of Us should have been. Perhaps the only real consolation is that every other aspect of The Last of Us is so good that you'll endure the gameplay to witness Joel and Ellie's conclusion, which in itself an intriguing topic of discussion.
The Last of Us is very much a Jekyll and Hyde of the Gaming industry. It excels in all but, in my opinion, where it matters most: the gameplay. The experience of playing the game was substantially beneath the quality of the narrative, presentation and emotion the game conveyed. When The Last of Us comes together, it's an experience that takes the medium to new levels, but such instances are sadly too few and far between, marred by some shoddy A.I. and game design that is unbalanced and does its best to derail what The Last of Us represents. It's still a great addition to anyone's PS3 catalogue and one of the most important releases for the industry in terms of cinematic production and narrative expectations, but because of the aforesaid issues I can't rationalise The Last of Us being hailed as one of the greatest games of this generation, let alone all time. The Last of us may be gaming art, but it's not the art of gaming.

Chemotherapy and Treatment Outcomes in Bloom's Syndrome
Persons with Bloom's syndrome are at higher risk of developing cancer in their lifetimes. The increased risk of cancer includes cancers of many different sites and types, and there is a shift toward younger age of diagnosis relative to the median cancer-specific age of diagnosis in the general population. Chemotherapeutic treatments of cancer in Bloom's syndrome must take into account hypersensitivities to DNA-damaging agents that are part of conventional cancer treatment regimens, which can result in severe destruction of bowel mucosa and the bone marrow. Specific dosage recommendations have not been possible, and more information regarding cancer treatment outcomes is needed.
Investigators at Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Centre in the Netherlands in cooperation with the Bloom Syndrome Foundation (Europe) have initiated a study to understand better the relationship between chemotherapy and treatment outcomes in Bloom's syndrome. These investigators are seeking medical records from Bloom's syndrome patients who have had a cancer diagnosis. The objective of the study is to optimize the treatment of cancer in Bloom's syndrome. To participate in this study or learn more about it, please contact the Bloom Syndrome Foundation (Europe) at email@example.com
Similar work is being conducted under the auspices of the Bloom's Syndrome Registry, where medical records from more than 250 persons with Bloom's syndrome have been assembled over the last 50 years and the natural history of the syndrome has been carefully chronicled.

There are a number of ways to look at short data, for example the total number of shares short; but one metric that we find particularly useful is the "days to cover" metric because it considers both the total shares short and the average daily volume of shares typically traded. The number of shares short is then compared to the average daily volume, in order to calculate the total number of trading days it would take to close out all of the open short positions if every share traded represented a short position being closed.

Questions for a Gunsmith?
So, I am going to do a Q & A write up for our site with my gunsmith, Brett Evans of NW Armswerkes. We'll talk about products, talk about Katrina & SHTF, various views from "Inside the Shop" - stuff like that.
I have a pretty good list of questions put together - recommendations on gear and books to read, resources, stuff like that.
What I am wondering is, do you guys have anything specific that you would like to have asked for future reference? I am going to steer away from "What do you think of So-&-So's latest offering in this category" for obvious reasons.
But, if you have something you have been meaning to ask, or haven't got an answer that you feel you would like to have, post it here and I will see if I can't work it into the session.
In case you missed it and might have some questions....
:) OK, Dillinger, where can I find a decent two-stage trigger for a large-pin Colt 6920 LE? Is there, even, such a critter; or am I stuck with the crappy single stage trigger that came with the rifle?
What's more, could I use one of the more common small-pin two-stage triggers by combining it with some sort of, 'turned down' conversion pin?
The problem there is, you said Colt.... LOL
Let me see what I can find out for you... We could always tune one for you in the shop and send you a spec'd out one, but how much do you really want to spend on a trigger? :rolleyes:
More to follow -
You have until morning
This interview will be taking place tomorrow, and with a little luck, be published before the end of the weekend, or the first part of next week. If there is a question you would like answered, please post it this evening.
Ok, here's a few:
If you were going to recommend a 1911 ambidextrous safety to a left hander, would it be the Swenson style with the grip tab retainer, the King/Kimber style with the hammer pin retainer, the Colt style with the sear pin retainer, or something else? Why?
Do you believe we've been spoiled by fitting jigs and such which let us produce firearms in quantity, instead of with hand fitted quality?
Do you prefer wooden or synthetic rifle stocks, and why?
.45acp or 9mm Parabellum? :D
Josh <><
Last chance - Interview is today....
Okay guys - the poll is closed & the interview is in the books. I shall write it up over the weekend and hopefully get it published by next week sometime.
Mods - Please feel free to close the thread.

Body Mass Index
February 17, 2012 by staff
Body Mass Index, I have a thing for statistics and figures. It's just me. When I was a child, my brothers would tell me I only remembered useless little bits of information that did not mean anything to anyone else but me! Well, now that I am all grown up and am a nutritionist, our nation is in an obesity epidemic, statistics and figures quoted constantly as part of my job. I hope my preoccupation with numbers means something to more than just me.
For one thing, I now know that I am technically in a minority category. Not because of my race or gender but because I am 1 of 3 Americans still WITHIN a healthy weight range meaning my body mass index (BMI) is somewhere between 18.5 and 24.9 (don't pin me down to a number here). To be honest, my BMI creeps up every winter as I semi-hibernate after a spring, summer, and fall overfilled with activity. And for those of you disbelievers in the BMI, whatever the excuse (big bones, you are all muscle and muscle weighs more than fat. I have heard them all). To review, BMI (body mass index) is a screening tool used to measure weight in relation to height. While BMI does not measure body fat directly, it is considered an accurate tool to determine weight status.
Another way to assess your weight is to measure your waist size (circumference). Your waistline may be telling you something, you have a higher risk of developing an obesity-related health condition IF you are a man whose waist circumference is more than 40 inches or a non-pregnant woman whose waist circumference is more than 35 inches.
So, my BMI is between 18.5 and 24.9, and my waist circumference is less than 35" (and that is my winterized waistline) so, I'm golden, right? I won't live forever, but my chance of living longer than those with a higher BMI value are statistically better. In case you haven't heard, or did not want to know, it is not NEW news that people with higher BMIs are more likely to die sooner.
And now, the figures I so often quote, here's where it gets thick – no pun intended. (I should list a warning label here as reading these stats have been known to cause a certain amount of stress and discomfort. To be honest, I find myself actually holding my breath and folding my arms across my belly even as I write this.)
Please feel free to send if you have any questions regarding this post , you can contact on

Creating A Shimmer To A Cake And Recoloring Gumpaste Flowers
Decorating By kayeldesign Updated 23 Aug 2010 , 1:11pm by peg818
I am looking for some advice on how best to create a shimmery look to a wedding cake. The cake is going to be ivory and the customer wants the cake to shimmer. Would the best thing to use be a pearl spray? Or is there something better that I could use? Also, on this cake the customer wants me to try to come close to replicating the clip art design on her invitations. This art is very abstract and the best I can come close to is a Hyancynth flower. I am thinking about purchasing the flowers already made as I haven't done any gumpaste flowers yet and I don't think I have the time to learn within three weeks. However, I cannot purchase these in ivory and the ones I am looking at have a violet color to them in the center. Can I recolor these with ivory petal dust and eggplant petal dust to get the right combination?
It would be very hard to do a lighter color over a darker color. If you are doing darker over them then you should be okay.
I think a pearl spray would be okay, either that or just dry brush some pearl dust on the cake. Depends on the extent of the shimmer you are looking for.

Bicycle Etiquette By DFO
I need to pet one of my many peeves this afternoon, the proper approach to take by a bicyclist when s/he is coming up from behind some walkers. The proper way for a bicyclist to pass walkers is to shout out a warning, "On your right" or "On your left." Today, during my lunch walk along the waterfront, every other bike rider -- there were many of them -- yelled out a warning, to reduce chances of a collision. That means every other rider didn't yell out a warning. Yesterday, only two or three riders warned us that they were coming up from behind. The warnings are important because walkers aren't paying attention to riders behind them, while looking at the viewtiful scenery. And walkers often can't hear riders. Also, riders should slow down when coming up from behind. Any questions?
Question: Are you a conscientious bike rider?

1990 YJ "YETI" Wrangler
A few pieces are broken, and a few that are fixed, but the "YETI" goes, as the roads, trails, and obstacles are mixed. The places we'll go, and sights that we'll see, sure make an impact from these dirty seats. With mud on the sides, the rims and the tires, they'll be plenty of rocks crossed and off-road campfires. He's strong as an ox, with five gears of power and as fast as a rhino, a bunch of smiles per hour. To the top of the mountain, to the end of the trail, to enjoy all of our cold frosty ales. Yet, YETI is the brut, braun, and brotastic, bold bravery that brings the boot to bombastic.

ok just got a new moto driod in the mail today wanna put a new rom on the phone can anyone help?
ok what you need to do, download the files VZW_A855_ESD56_QSC6085BP_C_01.3E.01P_SW_UPDATE_03 (1), and RSD lite for your computer, leave the VZW file as it downloads which is a .sbf file. plag your droid into your computer via USB. do not turn it on, hold the power button and up on the D-Pad, when you release is when it will turn on, its the boot loader. you let that just sit it should say something about SW-update, and your battery. open RSD light and there is a button with a ... picture on it, thats just like a browse for files button, open the VZW .sbf file (the huge one) and click install, your phone will run thru all that automatically that is rooting your phone, then you need to download the update 2.1 for your phone, you can download the rooted file anywhere online, once it is downloaded on your computer, you leave it as a zipped file, if you are running windows XP or older, rename it to update.zip, if you are running windows vista or newer, just rename the file to update, via USB mount on your phone (when its just plugged into the computer and able to transfer files between the two) drag that onto your root folder, which just means you open up the SD Card main file on your computer when its connected, and you paste it in there, not inside any folders just on the card itself, then shut your phone off, start the phone by holding the power button and X at the same time, this should open up a different boot menu, you go to update.zip and your phone should update to the newest system update that is legal OTA (over the air) then you are rooted and on current operating system, then download ROM MANAGER, just from the market, and you can download ROMS from that app, or you can download them from your PC and put them on the root of your card and run them from rom manager, either way works. hope i helped although i didnt go to in depth, maybe you could watch some how-to's online if you need more help or ask more members questions

"recent heathcare"
About: Manchester Road Surgery Manchester Road Surgery Sheffield S10 5PN
Posted by nellie1412 (as ),
I have been a patient at my local practice for over 40 years and have found it always to be excellent, with good ethics and a caring ethos.
However, I recently presented with a severe hip pain. After climbing a couple of mountains in the Lake District, I was unable to move without pain, and visited the practise. The doctor I saw on this occasion said that I obviously had arthritis, so what did I expect? The doctor said that if they sent everyone in the practise who presented with pains, for an x ray, then that would be half the patients. I was given stronger pain killers and sent on my way.
I returned when I was in even more in pain and saw another doctor. I was sent for an x ray, was told that the hip condition was severe and needed replacement, but told that I should 'manage' the condition for 3 years with physio, as Hip replacements only last 10-15 years. The fact that I am already 70, and lead, sorry, did lead, an active life, seemed to mean nothing.
By this time I was in severe, constant pain and visited yet another doctor, who gave me the Oxford Hip Score test. Why could the other two not have done that?? It was quick and easy and proved that I had a severe condition. I am now referred, and am waiting for surgery for a hip replacement.
To say that I am disappointed in my treatment is an understatement. This last doctor has been fantastic. Thorough in every way, no complaints. I actually thought that having been a patient at Manchester Road for all these years meant something. I thought that my patient history was available to see instantly, and that my upbeat attitude to health and fitness was evident. How wrong was I?
The physio, was the only one to acknowledge that fact. The physio and last doctor have been fantastic. Thank you for that.
Response from Alison Broadhead, Practice Manager, Manchester Road Surgery 5 years ago We are preparing to make a change
Thank you for contacting Patient Opinion and letting us know your concerns. I am very sorry that you have had a negative experience after being a loyal patient for so many years.
It isn't clear from your post when you initially visited the surgery with hip pain. There was a period from January to March 2011 when we weren't allowed to refer for hip surgery at all. This was as a result of budget restraints put in place by the PCT at that time. This financial year the current focus on reducing referrals means that doctors are under tremendous pressure not to refer to secondary care, they are meant to offer other options (if appropriate and dependant on the condition) first.
In your case however it is clear that the first doctor should have assessed you by doing the Oxford hip score, this would have, as you say proven that your condition was severe enough to warrant referral. Therefore I do apologise that you have experienced inconsistencies in how your condition has been dealt with.
The problems you experienced have been discussed at a meeting and all doctors will be made aware of the issues you raised and asked to refer appropriately.
Thank you again for taking the time to let us know about the problems you've had, unless we know what we're doing wrong we can't put it right!

Busy Life meets Calendar Strategies
Inboxes around the world are beginning to see Sign-Up Coffee & Back to School Sign-UP's creep into the mix, a tell-tale sign that Summer is almost over. The busy-life calendar threatens most homes. In May, The New York Times' Laura Vanderkam weighed in on the topic in her op-ed Busy Lives: HOW'S life? Oh, busy. So goes the mindless modern conversation — a constant assertion of the scarcity of time. A December Gallup poll found that 61 percent of working Americans said they did not have enough time to do the things they wanted to do. Some of us feel this more acutely than others: A 2015 Pew Research Center survey found that 9 in 10 working mothers said they felt rushed all or some of the time. Whether we're working inside or outside other home, calendars and all that comes with them, have an interesting magnetic

A boater who got lost in Thursday night's fog in Moriches Bay was escorted by the Coast Guard to its station in East Moriches, officials said Friday.
The Coast Guard said it had gotten a report from a commercial salvage company that a 16-foot pleasure craft with one person aboard was lost and wanted help.
Communications was established with the boater, who was advised to anchor and remain in place until rescuers arrived, officials said.
The Coast Guard and the boater, who was the craft's owner, remained in touch for half an hour, until a Coast Guard crew from East Moriches arrived, authorities said.
The boater's vessel was escorted and safely moored at the Coast Guard station, the agency's news release said.

Vokoun leaves with wrist injury as Predators blank CanucksNov 24, 2006 - 3:47 AM NASHVILLE, Tennessee (Ticker) -- The Nashville Predators clearly have adjusted to life without Jason Arnott. They may have to press on without goaltender Tomas Vokoun as well.
Scott Hartnell tallied twice and Vokoun stopped 21 shots before leaving with a sprained left wrist as the Predators routed the Vancouver Canucks, 6-0.
It was the 14th victory in the last 18 games for Nashville, which announced Tuesday that Arnott will be sidelined three to six weeks after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his right knee.
The Predators were sloppy offensively in their first game without Arnott, a 1-0 loss to the Dallas Stars on Wednesday. But the Predators looked like a different team only one day later, scoring twice in the first five minutes and never looking back.
"We got pucks and traffic to the net, which we didn't do last night," said Hartnell, who recorded his second multi-goal game this season. "Being shut out last night, we wanted to get some extra pucks to the net tonight."
The Predators improved to 4-0-1 when playing for the second time in as many days this season, a record that impressed Nashville coach Barry Trotz.
"We've been really fortunate that when we have had to go back-to-back, we have been able to come out with really solid efforts," he said. "Our team play has been very good in the second half of back-to-backs."
However, Nashville received some bad news concerning Vokoun, who injured his left wrist during the second period and did not return to the ice for the final session. Chris Mason filled in and turned aside 13 shots to complete Nashville's third shutout this season.
"(Vokoun) got hit in the (left) hand, and he was having trouble holding his stick, so we pulled him out," Trotz said. "They took some X-rays, and we will have the doctor look at them and re-evaluate him tomorrow."
Prior to suffering the injury, Vokoun was brilliant on a night when he enjoyed a huge margin for error. The Predators used a relentless attack to pester Canucks backup goalie Dany Sabourin, who stopped just 19-of-24 shots before being replaced in the second period by No. 1 netminder Roberto Luongo.
"When a goalie hasn't played in a while, you try to get shots and traffic on him early, and we did a good job of that," said Nashville left wing Paul Kariya, who had three assists. "We had a lot of opportunities, and the puck went into the net."
"(Sabourin) is a big goalie, and you have to elevate pucks against big goalies like that," Hartnell added. "It wasn't his night, I guess."
Rookie Alexander Radulov gave Nashville the lead for good at 2:43 of the opening period with his third goal of the season, a pretty finish from the right faceoff circle off a crossing feed from Scott Nichol.
Darcy Hordichuk doubled the advantage just under two minutes later with his first goal of the season, and Hartnell netted his first tally of the contest midway through the second period.
"Our line definitely needed that," Hordichuk said. "We threw pucks to the net and we had a lot of success tonight. Guys like us on the fourth line need to be creative if we want to be successful."
Shea Webber had a goal and an assist while fellow defenseman Marek Zidlicky also tallied for the Predators, who went 2-for-8 on the power play and killed off all four of their penalties.
"We got contributions all over the lineup," Trotz said. "I was really pleased with our third period. Everyone stayed to task, and we finished the deal. We had some good energy, we had some jump."
No one has shouted yet.

Electric Jeep Grand Cherokee to Debut at Detroit Auto Show
AMP Electric vehicles has just announced that it will unveil an electrified version of the Jeep Grand Cherokee at the 2012 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
The company has already put together a Mercedes-Benz M-Class EV and the addition of the Jeep Grand Cherokee is seen as a logical step, since both vehicles share components and structure, meaning that for the Jeep, minimal changes are required for EV conversion.
Although not a great deal of information has so far been released regarding the Grand Cherokee EV, AMP says that the vehicle is being aimed at larger fleet customers rather than low volume clients. According to Jim Taylor, AMP's chief executive, the idea is that fleets could "buy a new gas-powered step van for $30,000, or spend the same amount of money to convert an existing vehicle to electric power."
Fitted with a 37 kWh battery pack, the electric Grand Cherokee is said to have a range of 100 miles, based on information released from AMP. Final pricing and distributors are expected to be announced during the vehicle's unveiling in Detroit.
AMP believes that the Grand Cherokee's reputation and capability will appeal to the generally conservative nature of fleet customers and the company is currently in talks with organizations such as Fedex and UPS, in an effort to secure them as customers.
AMP's previous trial with the Chevy Equinox ended because GM didn't offer any manufacturer support, however at this juncture it would appear that the Jeep deal shows signs of being far more successful. "We got no love out of GM," said Taylor recently. "Chrysler answered the phone when we called for the first date."
