The idea is part of a wider programme being considered by the Royal Liverpool University Hospital, which would discriminate against smokers among job applicants and withdraw sickness benefits from those who take time off with smoking or drink-related illnesses.
Managers at the hospital say that the radical proposals are an attempt to formalise existing sanctions over alcohol as well as taking the initiative with regard to the health of staff.
But union officials who were circulated with the discussion document last week were horrified at what they see as an infringement of their members' rights, and promised to fight the move to the bitter end.
Bob Gregory, Merseyside regional officer of the public employees' union Nupe, said he believed the document was a panic measure after the award of pounds 15,000 damages last month to a woman who successfully argued that she had contracted chronic bronchitis through the persistent smoking of colleagues.
He said that smoking was already banned throughout much of the hospital, being allowed only in specially designated areas, a situation to which he and staff had no objection.
The document, which has provoked an outcry in the hospital, plans to go much further, with a total ban and a demand that smokers who apply for jobs must declare their habit on application forms.
The clampdown on alcohol would mean that all staff - doctors, ancillary staff, managers and administrators - would be banned from drinking before coming on shift, during lunch breaks and even at staff parties.
To enforce the ban, which is as much for health reasons as for the safety of staff and patients, managers propose that staff could have to take a breath test. While acknowledging that managers would have no power to force people to take the test, refusal could leave employees open to disciplinary action and dismissal.
Carl Dodd, a spokesman for the hospital, said breath testing would provide managers, who could currently send staff home if they smelt of alcohol, with a more objective examination.
The hospital's operational manager, Tony Lee, said: 'Social attitudes to drink are changing. I think it is proper to ask a person, when they apply for a job, whether he or she smokes, particularly in a health service job.'
He added that the rules on smoking and drinking would also apply to patients and visitors. But Mr Gregory said union officials would meet management this week in an effort to get the plans quashed and come up with some sensible guidelines.
He added: 'I am appalled. The whole idea is preposterous. It should be a matter of freedom of choice whether you smoke or take a drink in moderation during meal breaks. They have to trust the staff.'

Thanks Cathy-
I plan on checking out these wire grids that gardener's supply sell for
downspouts- seems like I could put 2 of the half-circle grids together to
surround the pole (which is very tall- it is the municipal street light).

I love Lonicera sempivirens, and I think it would do well for you.
Hummingbirds love it, and others like the fruit. However, like the
trumpet vine, it will need to be trained up the light pole (neither are
"efficient climbers") and both have the potential to grow extremely
tall (maybe more than you want for a light pole).

Hello, Myamplifiers team, as promised I send you feedback of the installed booster. The building where the kit is installed has 2 floors. Outside the coverage is pure but inside it is very unstable and low.
I mounted the outside antenna on top of the roof. I also added photos of the inside antenna in the house. The result is impressive! Without a signal amplifier, there was no coverage at all inside the house. With the device, I have excellent coverage inside and even near the building.
No dropped calls. Excellent coverage inside and outside. I am very satisfied.
Best regards and many thanks to you for effective coverage problem solution!

A well-known satirical magazine recently launched a mini-feature called "National Treasure" in which it gathers together instances of this most hackneyed and meaningless of descriptions of a certain kind of public figure.
"National treasure" might have sounded good the first time, but we've now reached the point – many an Alan Bennett and Clare Balding later – when it would be helpful if every journalist's keyboard were programmed to seize up the moment the words were typed. But until that happens, I imagine we will continue to see paragraphs such as the following, with which we began a story last Saturday about a collaboration between Björk and David Attenborough:
"She is the Icelandic 'punk anarchist' with a love for eclectic music and bonkers fashion; he is Britain's greatest living naturalist and an established national treasure." Ah yes, David Attenborough. A wholly admirable and remarkable man. But let's leave our national treasures in the Tower of London – and out of the pages of Private Eye.
Being there: According to an arts piece on Tuesday, the film Frances Ha is "hailed by both Indiewire and Variety as being one of the 10 best films of the year so far". Omit the word "being" and what's lost? And what about that "10 best films of the year so far"? We're only seven months in, and 10 is quite a lot of films. How much of an accolade is this? And why do we care what Indiewire and Variety think anyway? If it's a good film, let's just say so ourselves.
Alone on the range: We published a paragraph on Tuesday about a new photographic exhibition. "The images ... range from Elvis Presley, James Dean and The Beatles to Mick Jagger and Twiggy," we wrote. In terms of the positions those figures occupy on the cultural spectrum, I wouldn't say there was much "ranging from ... to". But I guess "the images include" doesn't sound quite so exciting.
Normality bites: Last Saturday we reported on the disquiet felt in the Kent town of Faversham after local people discovered that it was being used as the backdrop for a drama about a mass murderer. In a caption to a photograph of an area of Faversham, we described it as a "normal" market town. Normal? What's normal? I happen to know Faversham. Whether it's "normal" or not I have no idea.
A bigger splash: To accompany a story about the hot weather, we published a striking, half-page photograph in yesterday's paper of a group of children cooling off in some fountains. Alas, we said nothing about where the photograph was taken. I can reveal that the location was the Royal Festival Hall in London.

Schoenhut's "toddler-sized" piano is the perfect choice for introducing a young child to the world of music. This smaller version, with its scaled-down keyboard, is designed specifically for little folks to have a first piano just the right size for them. Both fun and educational (and extremely durable), it is the ideal instrument to promote eye-hand coordination and develop musical creativity.
Small hammers strike metal rods, producing lovely chime-like tones, educating the ear of the young performer to the true values of musical notes and their combinations. Another point of merit is that the keys are the standard width of a full-sized piano, enabling the child to easily graduate to a larger piano.
The Learning System, with its play-by-color assortment of songs, makes playing simple and fun. A removable, color-coordinated strip fits behind the keys to guide small fingers from chord to chord. The corresponding Songbook contains a collection of familiar tunes.

In order to allow a better planning to our end users a yearly calendar of the IN2P3 Computing Centre's major maintenance dates is provided. At those dates it is very probable that most or even all services of the Centre are unavailable.
The increasing complexity of the systems managed makes an accurate coordination of their downtimes necessary. Setting up a long term planning serves to achieve this goal.
The dates of planned downtimes are available on our web site one year ahead .
Each of these downtimes can potentially impact all of our services.
For each of them a detailed list of services impacted and the scheduled planning of the work to be done will be published 10 days before. Exceptionnally, it may happen that the maintenance scheduled at a date announced here does not lead to any visible outage at all.
In addition to the dates published here there may be other partial (or full) service downtimes resulting from unexpected events, from operational constraints or as a consequence of computing security issues where the delays of intervention are incompatible with the planning presented here.

Environmentalism in the United States by Elizabeth Bomberg
Book DescriptionEnvironmentalism - defined here as activism aimed at protecting the environment or improving its condition - is undergoing significant change in the United States. Under attack from the current administration and direct questioning from its own ranks, environmentalism in the US is at a crossroads. This special issue will explore the changing patterns of and challenges to environmentalism in the contemporary US. More specifically, it will examine the following dynamics: * the re-conceptualisation of core ideas and strategies defining US environmentalism; * questions of identity and relations with other advocacy groups (including labour, global justice and women's groups); * institutional change (especially the shift away from regulatory policies and approaches); * the expanding arenas of activism, to both above and below the state; * environmentalists' response to Bush administration policies and priorities. This book was previously published as a special issue of Environmental Politics.

Widgets and plugins are optional features that can be added to your blog. Plugins add functionality to a blog, while widgets provide design elements or supplemental content (e.g., add navigation for linking to archived blog posts and pages, add a list of links to other Web sites).
Plugins and some widgets are developed by third-party developers and are not part of the core WordPress software. If a developer does not maintain a plugin it may become a security vulnerability and will be removed from Blogs at UMass Amherst.
Note: Once activated, some plugins (such as the CalPress Calendar plugin) initialize widgets which can then be added to a sidebar in your blog. Other plugins (such as the Google Analytics plugin, which monitors traffic on your blog) are not visible to visitors, and run as part of your administrative tools.
Activate & Deactivate Plugins
Log in to your blog, and on the Dashboard toolbar, click Plugins (at left). The Plugins screen will open, listing all available plugins.
- Active plugins are highlighted
- Inactive plugins have a link to Activate below the plugin name.
- To activate a plugin, click Activate (below the plugin name). The screen will refresh with a "Plugin activated" message (at top). The link below the plugin name (at left) change to read Deactivate.
- To remove a plugin from your blog, click Deactivate (below the plugin name). The screen will reload with a Plugin deactivated message at the top of the screen. The deactivated plugin will no longer be highlighted and the link below its name will read Activate.
Configure Plugin Settings
Some plugins (e.g., Google Analytics) must be configured in order to work.
- Log in to your blog, and on the Dashboard toolbar, click Plugins (at left). The Plugins screen will display a list of available plugins.
If available, click Settings for a plugin (below the plugin name at left). The Settings screen will open.
Note: Settings links are not available for all plugins and will only appear when a plugin is active.
- Settings vary for each plugin. Configure the settings and click Update Options. An "Options Saved" message will appear at the top of the screen. (You may need to click Plugins in the Dashboard toolbar to return to the Plugins screen.)
Add & Remove Widgets
In order to appear on the Widgets screen, some widgets require activation on the Plugins screen (see the Plugins section above).
Note that some widgets rely on plugins which must be activated, and some widgets are only available when using a particular theme.
Important! Widget arrangement is NOT shared between themes; if you change themes, you need to reconfigure your blog's widgets. If you previously configured a widget while using a different theme, it will be saved with Inactive Widgets (more below).
Log in to your blog, and on the Dashboard toolbar, click Appearance (at left), then Widgets. The Widgets screen will open:
- Available Widgets are listed at left, with a Widget box for each widget you can add to a Widget Area or Sidebar.
- Inactive Widgets are listed below the Available Widgets. These are widgets you have already configured but removed from use. You can return them to a Widget Area or Sidebar without losing the settings.
Widget areas and Sidebar panels are shown at right; one for each area provided by your current theme.
Note: To collapse or expand a panel or widget box, click the arrow (at top right).
To add a widget to your blog:
Method 1: Drag and drop a widget box onto a Widget Area or Sidebar. A copy of the widget box will appear in the sidebar panel. (Some widgets allow you to place instances in more than one area. For example, you may want to show a widget both in the standard Sidebar area, and also in a special Front Page Widget area.)
Method 2: Click the widget name (at left). A list of locations will appear below the widget name. Click the Widget Area or Sidebar in which to place the widget.
To configure a widget, click the arrow (top right) in a placed widget. The widget box will expand to show available settings. Configure the settings as needed, then click Save (if available) at the bottom of the widget box for each widget you add.
Note: Not all widget boxes have a Save option. No confirmation message will be displayed after saving.
Remove Widgets from Sidebars
There are two ways to remove a widget from a sidebar:
- To remove a widget from a widget area or sidebar, and preserve its settings for future use, on the Widgets screen, drag the widget box to the Inactive Widgets (at bottom, left).
- To remove a widget from a sidebar without preserving its settings, expand the widget box and click Delete.
Re-arrange Widgets within a Widget Area or Sidebar
To re-arrange widget placement, on the Dashboard toolbar, go to Appearance > Widgets, then drag and drop widget boxes within the Sidebar or Widget Area panel.
Themes with More Than One Widget Area
Many themes have more than one widget area, in which case more than one panel appears on the right side of the Widgets screen. Keep the following in mind:
Widget Area locations on the Widgets Screen do not always correspond to their location on you site pages.
The location of a Widget Area on the Dashboard Widgets screen, will not necessarily correspond to its location on blog pages. Depending on the theme used, widget areas may be displayed to the left or right side of the main page content, below the main content across the bottom of the page, or even in the Title area (banner) at the top of the page.
Widget Area names depend on themes.
Depending on your blog's current theme, widget areas that show in the same location on a blog page may be named differently (e.g., Main Sidebar, Right Sidebar, and Right Widget Area might all display in the same area).
Some Widget Areas appear only on pages that use a particular Page Template.
For example, some themes provide Front Page widget area that only show on a blog page that uses a Front Page page template. For more on Page templates, see Blog Pages: Create, Edit, & Manage the Pages on Your Blog.
You can move Widgets from Widget Area to Another.
To move a widget from one widget area to another, on the Widgets screen, drag and drop the widget box into another panel.

How To Get Rid Of Fibroids Naturally
How to Get Rid of Fibroids Naturally Without Drugs or Surgery
Author: Bernadette Hopkins
If you suffer from fibroids, like many women you may be very disappointed with your treatment options. Many doctors advocate doing nothing at all as fibroids will shrink during the menopause. Others may recommend surgical procedures or hormonal treatment-both of which only offer temporary solutions.
An increasing number of women are turning to using alternative methods and if you are wondering how to get rid of fibroids naturally, you may be pleased to learn that this is indeed possible and thousands of women worldwide have seen tremendous success.
It is impossible to pinpoint the exact cause of fibroids in individual women and this is one of the reasons why conventional treatments cannot provide a permanent cure. Various factors affect women in different ways-for example, although it is known that excess estrogen and excess weight can both contribute to fibroid formation, not all women with either or both of these conditions will have fibroids.
Put simply, if you cannot or do not treat what has actually caused the fibroids, the root cause will still be there even after surgical removal or drug treatment so given time, they will regrow. On the other hand, treatment to get rid of fibroids naturally uses a multifaceted approach which covers every possible cause of fibroids and systematically eliminates each and every one, causing the fibroids to shrink. In addition, symptomatic treatment will also be used, which may include herbal remedies, dietary measures and exercise.
Very often, one treatment to get rid of fibroids naturally will involve liver detoxes. It is well known that estrogen mimicking substances derived from pesticides and environmental toxins can become "locked" in the liver triggering fibroid growth. Estrogen excess is also a common cause, and one way to deal with this is losing surplus weight. Another element of natural fibroid treatment is eating foods which have anti-inflammatory properties, such as oats, hops and cumin, as these can have a calming effect on tumors.
It was the lack of real help for women with fibroids led a specialist in alternative uterine fibroid therapy to develop a complete 7 step system which is completely guaranteed to shrink fibroids. Her busy clinic left her unable to take on many additional patients but the demand for a natural cure for fibroids was clearly there. As a result, she has now helped thousands of women worldwide who she has never met. Please bear in mind though, this requires you to be proactive and take charge of your own healing by making dietary and lifestyle changes and following a systematic program-it is not suitable for women who simply want to take a tablet and be cured. This is not possible for fibroids. For further general information and to learn all about the different types of fibroids plus the different treatments for each, please visit my website, Shrink Fibroids Here you will find comprehensive information about fibroids including the 7 Step System which will teach you how to get rid of fibroids naturally.

how to get rid of fibroids naturally?

There is no natural way to get rid of fibroids. Fibroids grow because of Istragen hormone.

Is surgery my only option for Fibroid tumors?
Hi I'm a 27 year old female from Los Angeles, CA and was detected that I have 3 Fibroid tumors. This year in May 2010 I got my period and was having excruciating pain that I didn't know why was it that bad. So thinkig it didn't seem normal to me I went to go see a doctor and the doctor told me I had a bladder infection and gave me meds. So from that I thought okay that was the problem then No more worries. Well surely after I didn't get my period in June but I was having early bad cramps since I didn't get my period on time I decided to go see a Gyno she had said I have Yeast infection but she seemed like it's no biggie that it's treatable but had said she wanted me to get a pelvic ultra sound with a radiologist. So since she didn't seemed worried I went to go get the test and got an unexpected suprise that I have 3 Fibroid tumors but away from my uteros. As some of you who have been in my situation know how I felt and was really dumbfounded. I even know a couple of friends who have had it and have been through really bad situations which I would want to go through. I've never had kids but would like to have some one day. I am not sure on the sizes of tumors but from what I saw in the ultrasound two might look like the size of a golf ball around there and one is a little bigger Im just guessing. I'm supposed to go see my gyno in a week. I was away in Australia for a year 2009 and had bad cramp pain but not as much as i've been having it here back home so makes me wonder I may have had it that long. I have faith that I'm hoping that all will go well. I've been told by several people that I can naturally get rid of them but I would have to be in a strict diet and that the fibroids may come back. So would this be an option if I really take care of myself?
Ladies only who have had it a couple of questions; What was your experience when you had it? Are there certain foods that I should watch out for? What would be my best decision to get rid of these tumors and still have a chance in the future of having a baby with my current partner? How long does it take to recover? I was told there's laser surgery to get them removed. Would that be safe? I dont have insurance but might be getting medical so pray for me and wish me luck. Please share some of your similar experiences with me and maybe some way to aleviate my pain that im having right now. . . I DO NOT WANT MY UTERUS TO GET REMOVED so please any advice you can give me I would truly appreciate it. 🙂

There is a minimally invasive procedure called uterine fibroid embolization (you can Google this for more info). It is done by an interventional radiologist. A small incision is made in your groin and catheters are inserted until they reach the blood vessels supplying the fibroids. Small particles are injected into these vessels to block them. This causes the fibroids to shrink as they no longer have any blood supply. Over several weeks to months the fibroids shrivel up and you will not have any more symptoms. This is a quick procedure, about an hour and does not require a hospital stay. Ask your gynecologist if you are a candidate for this procedure and if he/she can refer you to a doctor that does this. This procedure is good for young women who want to preserve their uterus for future pregnancny.
Hope this was helpful.

4th February 2017 - NDRA at Motueka Airport
1st run off the trailer a single pass 6.90 @188mph good run but in
the pits and a broken Pushrod and Lifter. The Team pulled the blower
off and found no damage so replaced the rod and lifter and the car was
good to go.
For our last run of the Day we made some Power, Fuel and Weight changes
to have a crack at the 200mph. The car launch was our best ever no Tyre
shake lifted the front wheels on the wheelie bar and down the track
on a mission, But then the No 8 Piston left out the side of the Sump
taking the Starter motor and side panel with it. Lucky the damage is
just to the Sump the Block and Crank are ok and the engine well still
be good to run again in the future.
Next Round is the NZDRA Nationals at Masterton on March 18th and 19th 2017.The Rivers Family Race Team will be there with the Dragster and the Mustang.
1st January 2017 - Summer Nationals Taupo
29th December 2016 - Summer Nationals Taupo
It was a bit chilly and overcast in the morning for the first run. Grant was in the drives seat and launched with huge tyre shake but got down the strip at 193mph. The shake broke an engine mount and shook a lot of things loose on the car so quite a bit of rushing around checking everything and making repairs.
Run two and Adrian in the car for the rest of the day. The run was 189mph still not bad and a few adjustments should see us quicker.
The third Qualifier run we decided to skip to give us less stress in prepping the car for the semi-finals and to make some wing adjustments and engine settings for the warmer temps with the sun out and strong head winds.
Run 3 great launch and down the track in 206mph and though to the Finals.
Final up against a front engined Rail "Hell Raiser" very
good car had been going good all day. The head wind was very strong.
Great start by both cars powering down the track we managed to get
the win in a tight battle and get a 204mph run. With tow runs in the
day 204mph and 206 mph we set a speed record for the AA Dragster class
we went to the scales to check the weight of the car and will apply
to have the speed ratified by the NZDRA.
Nicole Rives was running the Mustang in the street car division qualified well but drew another Rivers Speed and Spares Engined Wanganui car and was just beaten in the first elimination run.
Dean Scott in his Super Sedan Ute was hoping for a good day but sadly in the first run of the day blew the transmission.
Next run for the Rivers Family Racing Dragster is Round 3 of the NZDRA 4th February at Motueka in the South Island.

28th March 2016 - Nelson Drags
Clearly drag racers do not suffer from FOMO (fear of missing out). After a huge turnout at the Nelson Drag Racing Association's February meeting, it was back to more familiar scenes in Motueka on Saturday with small fields for the Keith Whiting memorial meeting.
And, to those who stayed away due to late-season budget blowouts and event clashes, bad luck. The Rock 94.4FM raceway at the Motueka airfield was at its sticky best with a swag of personal best times posted in the early autumn sunshine.
At the forefront of those was the Rivers Racing Team of Whanganui's Grant and driver Adrian (Swanny) Rivers. With dad on the spanners and son at the wheel, the supercharged dragster posted a pair of 6.6sec passes, the fifth and sixth quickest ever in Motueka. Their last run also came at better than 300kmh, bold stuff on a drag strip with a short braking area.
Rivers' runs helped the North Island to a 9-5 win over the south in the battle for the Whiting Memorial, although the other islanders had to co-opt some help from Nelson club members to make up numbers.
There wasn't such good news for the driver of the other supercharged car in the field, Southlander Bruce Smith withdrawing with gear selection issues after a 7.48sec run but there were wide grins from the likes of Steve Bennett (first 9sec pass in his Ford Prefect), Sean Gourdie (mid 10s, Holden Commodore) and Troy Appleton, who had a great day on his Proper Crisps race bike, dipping into the nines.
Best match ups were Bennett's ongoing duel with Adam Thompson's Ford Anglia van, Ross Wood running 10.4 in his Holden one-tonner to beat Mike Wilson's Capri and some nostalgia drag bike racing from Spike Lauria and Brian Reece. Brady Taylor-Jones also has some changes to make to his wickedly quick Skyline if he continues to nudge the 10sec bracket.
The Nelson Drag Racing Association has regained lost ground through summer and, with new race machinery being finished over winter, will look ahead to start of another four-meeting season in November.

21st 2016 - NZDRA 2016 Nationals
Sunday started off looking good but light drizzle came in and just stayed around forcing the NZDRA to cancel the meeting.
Dean Scott has been declared the Winner of the NZDRA Super Sedan Class. This is Deans first National Championship and is a credit to his consistency this Season that saw him score enough points to secure the Championship.
Adrian Rivers has secured Second place in the Competition Class on points countback through out the season. The car has performed well all year and hopefully next season if the Car makes all the rounds we might get a shot at the No1 Title.
Dean Scott in his Holden Ute Super Sedan had 3 good runs
on the Saturday
29th February 2016 - 30th Wanganui Street Drags
More than 70 cars, vans and motorbikes were entered and a bumper crowd enjoyed the engines roaring and tyres smoking, with even the weather co-operating as after a little midday drizzle, the expected rainfall stayed away.
As a spectacle, the event was everything the Road Rodders could have hoped for. The drags are their main fundraiser to keep the club going.
Even Taranaki's Americarna showcase moving to an annual event did not split the potential motoring audience, with the 30th anniversary of the drags pulling in more spectators than 12 months ago.
"We always clash [with Americarna], it's our weekend and it's their weekend. Locals come to support locals," said club spokesman Grant Rivers.
"Great support from the public, just a magic day.
"Thirty years - that's one milestone and we're very proud of it."
While the fans may not have been aware, the finishing times on the races did not break until the 6.5-7.5s range, being slightly slower even than last year when the Taupo Quay road was still recently resealed chip.
"Traction was a bit of an issue," said Rivers. "It was just a wheelspin the whole length of the track."
While some sunny weather may have helped as the rubber from the vehicles went on to the track, Rivers was still surprised by the slower times, because it was the drivers who had little in the way of superchargers but good horsepower who saw the most success.
"To walk on it, it was sticky, but there still wasn't any traction."
This year's Ivan Jones Memorial Trophy was won by Simon Carson, a recent club member whose 1962 Commer Cob put down a 7.929s run.
Sitting in his 1982 Kingswood truck with a 671 supercharger along with the 454 Chev engine, five-year club veteran John Hooper said it was hard to get up to personal best speeds.
"I'd like to do a 7s but we won't. We'll wheelspin ... It's a good adrenaline rush and I like doing big skids."
Dashing down the quay, Hooper had to correct often to avoid fishtailing by the end of the quarter-mile.
"There's a lot of turns in a straight road," he said.
Having pulled a burnout for the fans, Hooper predicted a lot of the drivers would "go crazy" for the final races of the day, the Grudge Shootouts, and so it proved as the tyres were smoking and then the contestants would have to reverse back through their own smokescreens to meet the starting lights.
Whanganui's Arron Jackson in his 1974 Holden Torana, with its Craig Wilson-built motor, is usually one of the top competitors but could only manage 8s runs.
"I just can't get the traction on the ground." The car was too powerful "for today", he said.
Nonetheless, the Naki Nitro-sponsored car remains a featured attraction and Jackson pulled some burnouts for the crowd in his labour of love.
"It hasn't really stopped having a makeover. Had it for 10 years. Ballpark figure of $60k spent.
"It's a big event, eh. There's only two street events left in the country."
The other is the Wellington Port Rd Drags, run by the Cam County Inc Hot Rod Club, who as usual arrived in Whanganui in numbers to support their small-town cousins, for which the Road Rodders will reciprocate next year for the 50th anniversary of the Wellington event.
There was one minor spill which alerted everyone that they should treat the road with respect as Todd Hall's Mustang - which won the Best Staging prize - fishtailed near the end of the straight and spun 360 degrees, breaking a balljoint on the front end when it struck the curve, but with no other damage or injury.
Craig Wilson's Holden also leaked a little transmission oil at the start of the event, forcing a 30-minute delay, but Rivers said they had started early anyway because of the prospect of rain, so everything finished right on schedule.
There were no issues with the lighting or timing equipment as seen last year.
"We were very lucky," Rivers said. He predicted the evening prizegiving back at the clubrooms would be an emotional affair for the longtime clubmen as they celebrated 30 years of their favourite day.
"It's going to be very cool tonight, a few speeches."
Among the other major awards, Alan Smith's 'Hot Wheels' Camero was the Best Presented Car, while Euan Mark's T Bucket, which had not been in Whanganui since the 1990s when it was the fastest street car around, was Best V8.

12th February 2016 - Dean Scott wins at Nelson
The Whanganui racer beat more than 40 competitors in the class, which is based on self-nominated times over the traditional quarter-mile track.
Scott's best run was an 8.85 second dash over the quarter-mile, clocking a 252.67km/h top speed.
"We had a bit of luck go our way for a change," Scott said yesterday.
"I was the only competitor from Whanganui, but there was plenty from the North Island. Super Sedan is a popular class and there were more than 40 entered on Saturday."
Scott, a mechanic at Whanganui-based Rivers Speed and Spares, built the motor at work and while able to be driven on the roads, he is forbidden with racing slicks fitted.
"All it would take is a change of tyres to make it street legal, but I can't use it on the road with slicks on.
"However, I will be doing a couple of demonstration runs at the annual Wanganui Hot Rodders Club Street Drags on Taupo Quay on February 27," Scott said.

Grant Rivers had 6 of the Hot Rods / Race Cars he has built and worked on for his customers over the years as well as the Grand Prix Hydroplane "Annihilator Race Boats". Two dragsters running Grant Rivers Engines wee on hand as well. Also in Attendance was the Dallas Rowan Junior Dragster and the Rowan/Rivers Funny Car.
The Funny Car did
3 engine fire ups during the day to impress the crowd many of whom

the big engine race cars were well received by the crowd.
27th April - Motueka Drags
The Rowan Rivers Drag Racing Team went to Motueka in the South Island For what they hoped was a final run for the Season sadly the weather had other ideas and the Rain on both Saturday and Sunday put paid to what could have been an enjoyable Event. The Rivers Team however enjoyed the time socializing and will endeavor to return to the track next year if dates permit.
The Dragster and Funny Car have had both Engines run down and put to bed for the Winter.
17th April - Wanganui Road Rodders Street Drags
There was a lot of concern this weekend as to what the weather would do Today for the Drags. Torrential rain on Saturday saw a number of cars stay away and not travel thinking the event would not get going. A few showers early in the morning and a very wet first round followed by one last small shower, but things soon dried up and it was only the gremlins with the Lights that held things up ironically to begin with it was the suns Glare making the staging lights hard to see that caused the first problem . Delays with the lights resetting after runs and the Light Tower itself blew over meaning a few new bulbs which were on hand. The Crowd understandably was down in previous years but grew quite quickly once things got underway.
The Club decided not to run eliminations and just gave everyone as many runs as they could handle. They did line up a Torana V8 and Mazda Rotary for the battle that everyone likes to see and the Rotary managed to win after the Torana Red Lighted. A quite enjoyable day in the end and I'm sure those attending would have enjoyed it as well.
Grant Rivers Gave the Dragster a couple of skids for the crowd Next week they travel to Motueka for the Easter Drag meeting.
Picture Gallery Link From the Drags today.
You Tube Video Page will have videos added during the week.
11th April - Masterton Motorplex Nostalgia Drags
The Rowan Rivers Drag Racing Team went to Masterton on the weekend to have a fun wind down to the end of the Drag Season. The Team took the Blues Brothers Dragster but have stepped up to the Supercharge Outlaw Class. The Supercharge Outlaw Class operates on a first past the post System thus eliminating the need to Nominate a race Time. If they stayed in the C3 Modified class they could be facing a competitor half the speed and time and sitting on the tree for up to 5 seconds after your competitor has left can be a bit of a mind game and result in red lights.
There were 4 Supercharge Outlaws at Masterton and the Dragster qualified Number 1 setting the fastest time and Speed of the Weekend with a 7.28et at 189mph. The Team Took the Honors of beating the Australians as well with the fastest Time and Speed which was a pleasant Bonus and a great end to the Weekend
Adrian also ran his race car at masterton faced with 60 competitors Adrian made it into the Quarter Finals before he eliminated himself with a 12.90 run having set a dial in of 13.0.
Rowan Finished 3rd in the Junior Dragster which surprisingly caused
quite a few dramas with the engine needing to be remounted on the Sunday
Luckily There were some track delays and the lunch break , and some
hard work put in by Adrian meant Dallas didn't have to miss a round
of racing.
23rd March - Meremere Drag Nationals
The Rowan Rivers Drag Racing Team went to Meremere on the Weekend for the 3rd and Final round of the NZDRA Nationals
The Blues Brothers Dragster was Raced by Adrian Rivers and he got in 5 runs including an Official Record run in the C3 Modified Class for both ET of 7.273 seconds and Top Speed 185.79 blitzing the old record and backing up the unofficial time set in January. Adrian lost in Round two of the Championship to Andy Chapman when he red lighted the Start.
grant rivers Ran the Funny car for the first time this season after rebuilding the Engine and having a new cam fitted. The intention was to just give the car a shake down and see how things went with a half pass in the first run. In the Second run a big Tyre Shake caused a few problems and while trying to drive out of it the car leapt in the air over one of Meremere's notorious bumps causing an over rev of the engine. Grant added a bit more power for round three but in the burnout something was amiss with a dropped cylinder so the car was shut down to avoid further damage. The runs and data from the computer were enough to be able to get the Clutch setting reset so next year should see some big improvements in the car.
The Funny Car will go into storage for winter, but the Dragster will make a final appearance at Masterton Motorplex April 9th & 10th where both Adrian and Nicole will drive.
23rd January - Wanganui Anniversary Drags
Sadly today's 25th Anniversary Drags have been Cancelled due to persistent Downpours that shows no sign of stopping. See the image and Video links below for some of the action from the Burnouts Yesterday.
Picture Gallery Link From the Burnouts.
You Tube Video Page have 3 Videos up.
22nd January - Wanganui Anniversary Burnouts
Dean put the Ute in the Burnout Comp, This is a 140mph car on the quarter mile and for 30 seconds it chewed through a set of good tyres and made plenty of noise.
It was a good crowd turnout at Wanganui Road Rodders first ever Burnout Comp today.
While it was a bit windy this helped to disperse the smoke from the burnouts quite quickly. There were 14 entries , each car got 3 runs with the best two runs counting for the score. A time limit of 1.30 was set but the big V8's didn't need that long to destroy a set of tyres. Some of the smaller Jap imports had a hard time getting to grips with the sticky track.
The Street Drags are on Tomorrow hopefully the weather plays its part and a good day will be had with a full field of street legal cars competing.

9th January - Drag Racing Masterton
Adrian Rivers running 7.33 at 187mph an unofficial Record Time and Speed in NZ for the Class.
It was a very overcast day with quite a strong chilly cross wind. The Dragster got in 3 runs today with the track in the morning proving to be too cold and not a lot of traction. after the lunch break and some more track preparation Adrian went out and did a blistering run which looked shaky at the end as the wind caught the car but it was a great time and speed with which the team are happy with.

8th January - Drag Racing Masterton
Nicole and Adrian Rivers are running the dragster at Masterton Motorplex this Weekend.
Yesterday things did not go well when on the first run the transmission snapped the Input Shaft and lost drive. However the Team managed to find a replacement shaft and put the transmission back together overnight.
Sunday Morning looks to be overcast and should bring some good times, hopefully the Adrian and Nicole can get in two runs each if things go well.
Jet Sprints
Duncan Wilson
Last weekend at the Opening round of the Jet Sprint Season saw the two Rivers Speed built Superboats of Duncan Wilson and Pat Dillon finish second and third overall. Some very good lap times on a fast course in front of a big crowd were put in by all the boats.
Grand Prix Hydroplanes World Champion
Warwick Lupton in the Rivers Speed & Spares Annihilator Race Boat.
Late last year at Yarrawonga, Australia the 3 boat Annihilator Team competed in the World Championships. A lot of racing saw plenty of damage to all of the 9 boats entered but David Alexander in the white Annihilator 2 Boat came home 3rd and Warwick Lupton showed that finishing every race and taking good points is what it takes to Win
24th August 2010 - New Dyno Room Test
Grant Rivers mans the Controls as they take the First Engine up to speed in the newly Completed Dyno Room. The Machine combines the Old and the New very well with an Older Style Control panel hooked up to State of the Art Computer Graphics which displays a multitude of various Data and Graphs and gives all the Information needed to get the best out of the Engines.
Dean in the Control Room
Grant hooks up the Ignition plug. The Test Engine is a Holden 308. The Exhausts are hooked up to a Baffle System that meets Noise requirements by the Council making the Running very quiet. Water is supplied through a large Header Tank. Everything is running Smoothly and Grant will be putting all his Race Engines through the Dyno prior to sending on to the Customers.
9th June 2010 - Jet Sprinters Finish Strongly
Pat Dillon Finished the Championship in 2nd Place
The Ford Supercharged Powered Hulk Had a slow start t the Championship Season with a Huge Crash at Round 1 but improved as the season went on. Pat took his first ever Round Win at the Final event at the Featherston Track. Grant Rivers took over the Building of the Ford this Season and the resulting Improvement was welcomed by Pat Dillon.
Duncan Wilson in Lethal Injection had perhaps a disappointing season the Current 2NZ was hoping to improve and Win the Championship but faced stiff competition. A couple of Crashes during the Season would prove costly in the Points Race and Duncan had t settle for 4th place overall.
8th June 2010 - Rotorua Targa Rally
Grant and Adrian Rivers spent the weekend running around the Rotorua Roads in the Targa Rally.
A very cold and slippery start on Saturday Morning saw many cars taking it easy on the roads. The Mustang was seeded to start in number three position which was way t high up the order for Grant and he caught and passed the first two cars on Stage 1. On Stage 2 the Mustang caught up to the Zero Car which had a 3 minute start and is the last of the Stage warning cars letting people know that the race cars are on the way. A bit of debate between Adrian and Grant about weather they are allowed to pass the car ensued before the Zero car pulled to the left and waved them by.
Stages 3 and 4 were a repeat of 1 and 2. with a bit of drama at the end of Stage 4 for Grant with the Alternator failing and the Battery flat a push start saw them make there way back to the Rotorua Pitstop with the Car leading its Class and in the Top 5 of overall Classics. Stage 5, a long winding Stage saw a major Error on Grants part as they approached what was supposed to be a Sweeping Right corner according to the pace notes but in fact was a Right angle Intersection. Grant missed seeing and hearing the call of the Marker sign indicating the Sharp Right turn and arriving way to fast was hard on the breaks and looking for a soft place to Crash not having too many options with a few trees (one of which had the Emerson Holden Commodore Buried in it) It was through the Fence and into the Paddock for the Mustang. Very minor Damage a broken Aerial a few scrapes on the Paint. 5 minutes were lost while cutting the wire away from the Diff and they opened a nearby gate and continued on the way. Stage 6 was a repeat of the previous stage but now Grant was last in Class and 20th in the overall Classics, Grant drove the Mustang hard to set one of the faster times in the Stage and start the long hall back up the time sheets.
Sunday saw Warmer Weather but a bit more Rain throughout the Day. Some Very tight and Twisty stages saw the Mustang struggle to make up time on the second placed Volkswagen Beetle, This Beetle is fully raced prepped and has well over 200HP under the Boot and was holding its own on the short Stages. To make matters worse the Intercom in the Mustang was almost unusable and Grant was not hearing the instructions from Adrian. Despite these minor setbacks the Team did eventually catch and pass the Beetle and finish 1st in their Class, They also clawed there way back up to finish 11th overall in the Classics Section and without the mishap on Stage 5 would have finished in the Top 5 of Classics.
This was the first time in the Mustang has finished each and every Stage in the Rotorua Targa breaking a 4 year long Curse.
1st June 2010 - Masterton Drags Final Race Meeting and Awards
Ardian makes a Speech at the National Drag Racing Association Awards Ceremony as Nicole looks on while Accepting the Second Place Trophies for the C3 Modified Division. They are the most Successful Pairing to compete in the Championships. This year they competed in most of the rounds Alternating the drives at each round. They took the fight to Eventual winner Andy Chapman right to the last round.
Ardian in his Nissan and Nicole in the Mustang go Head to Head in a Grudge Match at the Final event of the Season. The Dragster was also taken to Masterton but this time Grant put on a Blower which certainly made the Car Handle differently with a great deal more Power. No pictures available at this time.

This is more of a cake, though it's not a very sweet one, so it can be a muffin alternative for breakfast. It's also good to pack for lunch or as a late afternoon snack.
Even after my tirade this month, I'm assuming that most cooks will use canned pumpkin, but if the spirit moves you, making pumpkin purée is not that bad.
Pumpkin Purée
Buy a small pumpkin meant for eating (as opposed to making jack-'o-lanterns). They'll be four or five pounds and hanging out with the other winter squash. Huge, Halloween pumpkins usually have their own area.
Anyway, there's a couple ways to do it:
Plan A: Use a knife to peel the pumpkin (lop off the bottom so the pumpkin sits steady, then cut the skin off in strips from top to bottom). Cut the pumpkin in half and scrape out the seeds. Dice the flesh and steam it until it's mashably tender, 20 minutes or so. Let it cool uncovered to let as much water go up in steam as possible, then mash with a fork or press it through a ricer, or put it through a food processor.
Plan B: Cut out the top and scrape out the seeds (like you'd do when you carve a Halloween pumpkin). Then bake the sucker at 350 degrees until the flesh is soft—1 to 2 hours, depending on how thick the pumpkin flesh is. When you poke the pumpkin and it's quite soft, it's done. Scrape out the flesh and mash it. Voila, pumpkin purée.
If either method gives you a watery purée, gently cook it down a bit in a sauce pan. A 6-pound pumpkin will give you approximately 6 cups of purée. Freeze what you don't use. [back to the recipe]
You need...
1 hour
9 x 13-inch cake pan
350 degree oven
Streusel topping:
6 tablespoons butter, cold
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup white sugar
2/3 cup flour
4 ounces (1 stick) butter, very soft
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
3/4 cup milk
1 cup canned pumpkin
2 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Set up:
Turn the oven on to 350 degrees, then use a butter wrapper to smear the bottom and sides of a cake pan with butter—don't miss any spots. Shake a couple spoonfuls of flour around the bottom and sides, then turn it over and tap out excess flour. Set the pan aside and make the streusel topping.
Use a pastry blender to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture is uniform and crumbly. Set it aside for now.
To make the cake:
1) Mash the butter and sugar together, then beat in the eggs. When smooth, stir in the milk and pumpkin.
2) Sift the dry ingredients together and dump them in all at once. Stir just enough to make a uniform batter.
3) Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and sprinkle the streusel topping over the top. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes. When the cake is done the center will be puffy and a toothpick poked in the center will come out with a few clinging crumbs.

Pediatric glaucoma surgery is challenging because of the differences in anatomy from the adult, differences in the behavior of the tissues of a child's glaucomatous eye, the variety in causes of the disease, and difficulties with postoperative management. Goniotomy and trabeculotomy are the preferred initial treatments for primary congenital glaucoma. Trabeculectomy with adjunctive mitomycin C is more likely to succeed in older, phakic patients, but carries the long-term risk of bleb-associated endophthalmitis. Glaucoma drainage devices may be preferred in younger children and in patients with aphakic glaucoma, but these devices can cause tube-related complications. Lastly, cyclodestructive procedures are reserved for patients in whom filtering surgery has failed, given its more unpredictable effects and serious complications.

Excellent 4.4 /5 from 45 reviews
Hotel is in a good location and easy walking distance to the center of the city. Staff spoke excellent English and were helpful.
Friendly and helpful staff make this a great place to stay. Dinner in the restaurant was excellent and they have a very interesting wine list of local Slovakian wines. Car park is useful.
It was my first stay at this hotel, I selected it for its central location, private parking and reasonable room rate. Location of the hotel is ideal, centrally located at the river in the city center, short walk to restaurants and Europark. Room is modern and clean, the glass wall of the bathroom is quite unique. Although the hotel is at a 4 lane bridge, the traffic noise was not heard inside. Underground parking was spacious. Wifi worked in the room but was slow, I may try cable connection next time. Breakfast selection was good.Probably I will choose this hotel for my next stay in Maribor.
Nice hotel, free parking, good breakfast

Good 3.3 /5 from 8 reviews
The staff is friendly and helpful. The hotel is located in a very out of the way place with nothing nearby.
I stayed here for two nights on my last business trip to Alexandria. For the most part it was a pleasant stay. The hotel staff was very nice and accomodating. Room service menu had a nice selection and the service was quick and arrived hot. The free wifi was nice, as most hotels I stay in on my business travels charge per day for wifi. The room was very large with a large balcony. The rooms and the hallways were a bit run down. The sliding door on the balcony was broken and would not lock. The air conditioning unit started leaking water all over the floor the morning that I checked out. The little details were where I felt the hotel was most lacking. The pillows were absolutley awful. They were very lumpy and extremely uncomfortable to sleep on. The floor of the hotel room was tile and the hotel did not provide slippers or robes. There were also no toiletries provided other than the basic shampoo, conditioner and bath gel. Perhaps I have become spolied by the hotels that I have stayed at in the past. Overall a decent hotel but there is definitely much room for improvement.
The Hotel is in a secluded place. Nice Hotel, Very Good Staff. Nothing around the Hotel. Food is very good.
Service was emotionless and done because they had to. No smiles and no extra effort or going out of their way to make the experience good. To many points to explain here! No problems with room - excellent. (no bottled water every day though!) Hotel had no character, nothing to do, hotel is in the middle of no-where or rather a very run down area There was a lot of choice with food but it was tasteless and breakfast was really well done but always cold. Hotel would not let us get local taxis and we had to use theirs at an extortionate price I checked the reviews before I booked and do not agree with them. I would not recommend this hotel. Old fashioned and out dated. Front counter manager was a terrible representative for the hotel - very rude, abrupt and seriously lacking in cusomer service skills (Ahmed)
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

diy sponge filter help
I have a 2.5 gallon tank for my betta and i bought a small filter (whisper internal filter with air pump) The filter is too big to be placed inside the tank so i decided to use the air pump and make a diy sponge filter.
So basically i place the air tube thats connected to the air pump inside a sponge about halfway. I turned it on and bubbles are coming out of the sponge but it does not seem to be sucking the particles into the sponge.
What am i doing wrong ? Also how does air blowing into a sponge make debris suck into a sponge ? surely it would just blow debris away right ? (how does it work?)
Lol that is now how you make a sponge filter. That just blows air through sponge. The air pump blows out air, not in.
Here is a good link:
How to make a DIY sponge filter [Forum - DIY] : American Livebearer Association
Thats what i thought ! i couldnt see how blowing air out would suck the debris in.
This is the link i saw: -
Yep, very simple to make, simply doesn't work.
It's a big yellow airstone!
Haha that person has it wrong, like DKSRT said it is one big airstone! lol

Virus exe. Questions As Mark personally knows Earnest Royal, I will restrain
myself somewhat on the subject. The thing I do not understand is if Royal
was intending to attach an image why was the no text accompanying the file.
Is most strange that a blank email is set with on massage about the intended
Second why as he not bothered to explain this mater.
