Now there's pollution
Most global warming articles will include:Carbon Dioxide CO2 –
Depletion of stratospheric ozone is caused by the emissions of other chemicals. Materials which act as catalysts for reactions resulting in the dismantling of ozone molecules. These substances contain chlorine and fluorine atoms within their molecules. And global warming articles call them halocarbons, chloro- and fluorocarbons.
In general, we consider this a different although just as serious global environmental problem.
Global warming articles and even one documentary film point to a study that seems to indicate that the Greenland ice cap and glaciers are destined to melt away and raise the sea levels by over 20 feet.
This melting is supposed to be responsible for the salt dilution, which could stop the ocean currents and cause
wintry scenes
like those depicted in the movie The Day After Tomorrow. Now wouldn't that slow the melting? Anyway this melting is predicted to take hundreds of years.
Most popular
predictions featured in global warming articles:
Temperatures will rise – Anywhere from about 2 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit, as a global average.
Some areas will be colder – Caused by the desalination of parts of the ocean and suppression of the Atlantic Gulf Stream, which keeps the northern hemisphere mild. This is the possible experience shown in that movie The Day After Tomorrow.
Areas will be wetter – The Great Plains and US southwest, for instance, according to some researchers.
Areas will be drier – Generally, the pattern of rain and drought is predicted to change, though exactly how remains up for debate. Dispute, in fact.
The most obvious consequence global warming articles point out is that with more people, there should be more man-made greenhouse gases, unless people suddenly become aware of their consequences and change their activities accordingly.
True facts on global warming:
It is first on many greenhouse gas lists found in global warming articles. This is because there is so much of it being produced, and it is the subject of Kyoto and similar agreements. See the
Solution Global Warming
for further details. Greenhouse gases trap heat energy trying to escape from the planet's atmosphere. It normally goes out through virtual windows, which are becoming plugged. Incoming energy comes through different windows that are not blocked as completely.
If there is enough CO2, we all would suffocate due to a decreased oxygen concentration. But this would take a lot. Conceivably, after a certain amount is produced, an incremental increase would have minimal effect on the global warming green house effect. That's because once that particular radiation window is filled, adding to it would be redundant.

Heavily populated low-lying areas, homes lost due to rising sea levels and flooding. Many third world areas severely affected.

Forex Combo System revisited – version 3.0
It's been over one year since the launch of Forex Combo System and its live performance has been very good in spite of the hard times many Forex trading strategies have been through. Forex Combo System has proven to be a very solid expert advisor and ever since the inception of the EA Top, it managed to always hold a good spot. Out of all the Forex robots that have seen the the reader's browsers on my website, it is probably the most steadily profitable system. Even though it seemed to need nothing more to be a truly versatile automated Forex strategy, the vendor shows us that the system is still being improved: the ending month of the year brought an unexpected gift to all its users, a new major version that incorporates a whole new strategy, bringing the total count to four different strategies in a single product, rivaling an EA portfolio.
If you don't already have it, it might be a good idea to consider getting it now:
Buy Forex Combo System
For those buying via the giant link above this paragraph instead of 2 live accounts you will get 3 (by contacting the vendor after the purchase and mentioning you bought through eareview). This deal is exclusive to eareview.net.
Some of you might know that I'm using the Forex Combo System license to its full extent and running three different live accounts with it. The first one was started in September 2010 and it's only running the EURUSD EA:
The second was started when the GBPUSD version was launched, in March 2011. I had a hunch that the GBPUSD EA performance wouldn't be on par with that of its EURUSD counterpart, so I decided to run it separately. This account is only running the GBPUSD EA:
Finally, the third account was started soon after the launch of the EA Top – Best Forex Robot page in August 2011 because many people were wondering why are there two separate Forex Combo System accounts in there. This version is running both the EURUSD and the GBPUSD EA:
Before we dive in, let me explain the whole thing with the 4th strategy, named EuroRange. It's a rather simple system: it tries to capture the (rather large) price movements that occur during the European session by identifying an existing trend and opening a long or short position at 7AM GMT, a position with a relatively tight stop loss (~50 pips for EURUSD, 60 pips for GBPUSD) that gets a trailing stop once it goes into profit.
So, before applying the new update to my Forex Combo System accounts, I set out to find out more about the new strategy, about what changed in the other strategies and to see which accounts should I upgrade and what should I expect after upgrading. Since the new version was launched very recently, there's no better way to find this out than backtesting so I defined a suite of tests that I wanted to run and went ahead with it. Given the current backtesting speed of the robot, which was somewhat reduced in the new version, it took about a couple of weeks but the whole ordeal is finally done and the results are here for your viewing pleasure.
I was planning to revise my original Forex Combo System review and update it with the new version backtests as I did in the past when new versions were released, but given the number of backtests that I ran for this new version, I felt it would clutter it to a point where nothing would be clearly understandable anymore so I decided to simply write a new post instead, but I'll keep it on the short side since it's Christmas today.
As I usually proceed, I started with the history center data backtests, starting from 1999 and ending with 2011.
Metaquotes history center data backtests
For all the history center data testing, the spread was set to 1.5 for EURUSD and 2.0 for GBPUSD and the GMT offset was 2 with DST enabled. As many of you know, some 2011 data is missing from the Metaquotes history center (about 3 months), so the backtests will also miss that part.
EURUSD history center data
All 4 strategies, EURUSD history center data
I usually try to keep the max drawdown below 20%; in this case it was a bit above that but the risk of 2 suits me just fine. While the output of the backtest above certainly looks good, I decided to also run a fixed lot backtest to have a more comprehensible representation of the balance curve progression through the 12 years of the backtest.
All 4 strategies – fixed lot size, EURUSD history center data
This looks much clearer than the first balance chart. For me, this was enough to persuade me to upgrade the EURUSD EA to 3.0: compared to the backtest of the first version I tested (1.42), this one has a lower drawdown and better returns.
I also ran individual tests of each strategy for those who want to compare them in detail with the older backtests.
Strategy 1 – Scalper, EURUSD history center data
Strategy 2 – Breakout, EURUSD history center data
Strategy 3 – Reversal, EURUSD history center data
Strategy 4 – EuroRange, EURUSD history center data
This is the strategy that was added in the new version so I was very curious about it.
Clearly, it's able to hold its own when running solo. It's definitely not a miracle strategy, but it's profitable and it complements the others nicely.
GBPUSD history center data
All 4 strategies, GBPUSD history center data
Actually, although this one looks a bit better than the 2.42 GBPUSD backtest, it really isn't. The drawdown (32%) is worse and the end profit also decreased.
Just like I did with the EURUSD EA, I ran a fixed lot backtest.
All 4 strategies – fixed lot size, GBPUSD history center data
The largest drawdown seems to be somewhere at the start of the test, so the figure mentioned above doesn't need to be a very big concern – the market has changed vastly since 1999-2000 but a drawdown exceeding 30% cannot be easily ignored given the rather cautious risk settings I went with.
I've also performed individual tests for each strategy for GBPUSD history center data.
Strategy 1 – Scalper, GBPUSD history center data
Strategy 2 – Breakout, GBPUSD history center data
Strategy 3 – Reversal, GBPUSD history center data
Strategy 4 – EuroRange, GBPUSD history center data
…and this where it gets interesting. Obviously, the EuroRange strategy isn't really doing all that good on GBPUSD, it seems to be much worse than the other three. In fact, I was even wondering why was it also added to GBPUSD when it struck me: it must be optimized for the recent market conditions, starting from 2007-2008, so I went ahead with a 2007-2011 history center data backtest to verify my hypothesis:
Indeed, this seems to be the case. This backtest looks much better and its drawdown is below 12% whereas it was over 40% in the 12 year backtest.
Dukascopy tick data backtests
For the tick data backtests I used the real (variable) spread and a commission of 0. I was planning to run a second identical set of tick data backtests with a higher commission but given the time needed to do that and the fact that the differences would've been rather small, I decided not to do it after all.
EURUSD tick data
All 4 strategies, EURUSD tick data
At this point, I came up with the idea of comparing all the four strategies versus the older three strategies, so I also ran such a backtest.
3 strategies: 1 – Scalper, 2 – Breakout, 3 – Reversal, EURUSD tick data
Although the balance curve of the 3 strategies is a bit smoother and the relative drawdown of all 4 strategies is a bit worse, the profits are much higher in the latter case due to the compounding. Looks like EuroRange is a more than welcome addition to the EURUSD EA.
Strategy 1 – Scalper, EURUSD tick data
Strategy 2 – Breakout, EURUSD tick data
Strategy 3 – Reversal, EURUSD tick data
Strategy 4 – EuroRange, EURUSD tick data
I would've expected this one to look just like the history center data backtest, but lo and behold, it doesn't. I checked the trades and was able to match most of them but for some reason there are extra trades (or to put it a different way, missing trades) in both of them. I'm not sure what to make of it, the outcome is quite different. I'll enable it live and watch its performance there.
GBPUSD tick data
All 4 strategies, GBPUSD tick data
3 strategies: 1 – Scalper, 2 – Breakout, 3 – Reversal, GBPUSD tick data
On GBPUSD, just like on EURUSD, Forex Combo System performed better when running all its 4 strategies. However, it was only slightly better, the difference was nowhere near as high as it was on EURUSD.
Strategy 1 – Scalper, GBPUSD tick data
Strategy 2 – Breakout, GBPUSD tick data
Strategy 3 – Reversal, GBPUSD tick data
Strategy 4 – EuroRange, GBPUSD tick data
In a similar way to the EuroRange strategy EURUSD backtests, this doesn't really look much like its history center data counterpart. Once more, I've compared the backtests a bit and I see trades that were taken in one but not in the other… I still can't explain the differences but I don't really like the outcome of this test when using tick data. It remains to be seen how it does in forward testing.
In my older review, when backtesting the GBPUSD Forex Combo System I noticed that it performs slightly better when setting the GMT manually to the broker's summer GMT offset plus 1. So, I had to check whether that was still standing.
Just as a reminder, the tick data that was used to run the backtests was created with GMT 0 and no DST. All the backtests below are using GMT+1.
All 4 strategies, GBPUSD tick data, GMT+1
The outcome seems to be more profitable than running the same with GMT 0. Ironically, as you will see below, the 2 backtests that depend on the GMT offset were not actually better, but most likely a synergy effect was applied and boosted the profitability.
Strategy 3 – Reversal, GBPUSD tick data, GMT+1
As it turns out, the observation I made in the past regarding the different GMT offset no longer stands. This is not really significantly better than the one with GMT 0.
Since EuroRange is another strategy that relies on the GMT offset, I also backtested it with GMT+1 to see what the effect would be.
Strategy 4 – EuroRange, GBPUSD tick data, GMT+1
EuroRange, too, does not seem to be better nor worse than the backtest with GMT 0. Its GBPUSD implementation wasn't doing very good to begin with and it remains at the same level.
Clearly, the most profitable strategies by far remain the EURUSD scalper and breakout, together with the GBPUSD scalper. Close behind in profitability is the EURUSD reversal, followed by the GBPUSD breakout and EURUSD EuroRange. Finally, I'm not a big fan of the remaining strategies, GBPUSD reversal and EuroRange.
All in all, Forex Combo System v3.0 is a nice upgrade. I am going to apply the new version to my forward tests and simply keep them as they are when it comes to the running pairs: one on EURUSD, one on GBPUSD and the last one running both pairs. I will use the default settings with 2.0 risk for each strategy, but I will no longer keep all strategies enabled: for GBPUSD, I will disable the Reversal and EuroRange strategies, for both accounts where it applies.
For those who just scrolled down to the conclusion and don't have the expert advisor yet, I'm reposting the buy link:
Buy Forex Combo System
Keep in mind: buying through this link entitles you to an extra live account license.
Finally, no matter if you run Forex Combo System or not, you should keep an eye on its performance in the EA Top – Best Forex Robot – it's definitely one of the most interesting expert advisors that I've seen so far.

Nice review, thanks!
I've backtested the system as well, and the scalping system still has the near 1:1 correlation with Wallstreet Forex trades. Same entries, exists and such are different sometimes though.
I have no idea if the other strategies are originally theirs, all in all a nice robot, just kind of a shame they ripped off their scalping component (or the other way around…who knows).
Last week Plimus suspended sales for most Forex products out of the blue, including Forex Combo System. The vendor is now setting up with a different payment processing platform and I will update the link as soon as the new one is available. Currently, the product is sold via Paypal; if you wish to purchase and can't wait until the new link is up (which will probably take 1 up to 2 days), please contact me via the contact form to make sure you benefit from the extra license and the $50 discount.
Well, this EA used to behave as a solid product, I use it for very long time. Unfortunately just today, it turned to be a total crap. I lost more than 50% of the account in two(!) hours! It just opened a series of many trades, all losers.
This is apparently a fatal bug in the EA implementation. It just opened and closed around 50(!!!!) losing trades in about one hour!!!
As a EA developer myself I need to say, this is just a deep shit. I will gather some screenshots/logs/info later.
OK both developers and also broker (Oanda in this case) made big investigations and it all turned up to be Oanda's problem. Big, serious problem. They just had a bug in their MT4 servers related to dealing with EA magic numbers. It caused that MT4 API was not aware of new positions being opened at all, so the EA did not hesitate to open new position whenever it got signal. It stopped opening new positions only because there was not enough margin available to open new ones – but there was already about 50 positions opened at the same time. And all those 50 positions ended up in stop loss few hours later, at the same moment, causing enormous loss. Luckily, Oanda developers found the issue and now they claim it is fixed. Also, they apologized and promised to compensate all the loss.
So I apologize here to FX Combo developers, the EA is definitely not "crap" and thanks to both Oanda and FX Combo team to be very helpful in solving this problem.
I am also an EA developer and this is a good lesson – in really rare situations when MT4 server has problems, you cannot even rely on OrdersTotal() and OrderSelect() calls to check if positions are already opened or not.

Comments about Wuhan WU007-34 CHAU GONG 34 IN WITH STAND:
I listened to as many YouTube samples of gongs before making my decision, and this gong most closely matched what I was looking for. It has a deep note 4 inches from center, many mid-register harmonics development when hit 8-15 inches from center. If you can't afford a Paiste, then this is going to get you about 80% of the way there in terms of sonic characteristics for a vastly lower price. This is a substantial gong and weighs about 35 lbs. The appearance of the gong isn't anywhere near as beautiful as the Paiste gongs. The rear edge is not cut very even, and it looks very crudely finished compared to Paiste, especially the unlathed edge and center. But it is 1/5th the cost of the Paiste. So if sound quality is far more important to you than appearance, then Wuhan is a great choice.
The Wuhan gong stand was welded incorrectly, and M.F. quickly shipped a second stand to me. This second stand had the same problem too. The welds for the cross bars were not 90 degrees, so the crossbars on the stand wouldn't square up when the tubes were assembled.

Narrowed it down to two rings and finally selected this one because I figured a smaller ring would fit my petite girlfriend better.

Newly Engaged
Narrowed it down to two rings and finally selected this one because I figured a smaller ring would fit my petite girlfriend better. Come Christmas day, I proposed and put it on her and she loves it, and looks great on her too! Bought the two year warranty too since my girlfriend is often the clumsy type haha!Read More
my fiancé loves the ring.
It's a great value. My fiancé wanted an inexpensive ring so we could save our money for a house. I initially ordered the wrong size and overstock made it easy to return and get the correct size.Read More

10k White Gold 1/5ct TDW Diamond Bridal Ring Set
Overall My wife loves the set. it is really bright in the light and is great quality. she Loves the set and i am very satisfied with the shipping speed and the amazing quality. I would recommend this for any couple.Read More
The rings are very dainty, as would be expected from the total weight. It sparkles wonderfully and is very tiny and elegant. After having a very large 1 1/2 carat princess solitaire, it is a little shocking to have this set on my finger, but not necessarily in a bad way at all! As previously said, it is dainty and very pretty. I am extremely happy with what I received! It really is just simply lovely...Read More
Absolutely gorgeous!
I ordered this ring a few months ago. & I am in LOVE with it! My fiance proposed to me a while ago. & we were saving up for a ring/bridal set. & I found this one & fell in love with it. It was the perfect size for me because I have small hands/fingers. The color & clarity of the main diamond is amazing. The small accent diamonds are not too over bearing or anything. At first I was afraid that the stones would be too small to my liking but, it is absolutely perfect. We are getting married this year in September & I cannot wait to be able to wear the wedding band with it. I would definitely recommend this to a friend. It was definitely worth the purchase!! (:Read More
This picture does not do the item justice the item is flawless and it is a high quality item the sizing was perfect and the gold was flawless.Read More
I am pleased w/it.
Purchased this set as a replacement wedding set b/c my wife's original one wasn't able to be worn anymore, The actual size of the diamond seemed smaller than the one on-line but we are pleased with it overall. Thank-you.Read More

Hiss™ The Colorful Snake-Making Card Game!
In this simple, elegant card game, players match colors and and make snakes from heads to tails. Long snakes, short snakes, purple, yellow and rainbow snakes. Finish a snake and add it to your snake pit. The player with the most snakes at the end of the game wins.
As each Hisss snake slithers its way across the playing area it introduces color identification and visual logic: Does it make sense to have a snake with two tails and no head? Are those two colors the same or not? Even elementary counting skills come into play during scoring at the end of the game.

Store the SnowMiner in "lantern mode," with the silicone in bulb shape. This allows for the optimal pliability to quickly convert from headlamp mode to lantern mode. Note that the silicone shape holds a memory, and if its stored in headlamp mode for an extended amount of time it may be slow to respond when converting to lantern mode, however only for a limited time.
Overtime the silicone diffuser will become dirty. To clean, please remove the silicone from the main headlamp and hand wash with warm soaping water. Dry completely and place back onto the headlamp.

Tears In The Rain, by M-chan
I let my tears fall,
Reminders of the pain.
I'm so tired of playing
This heartbreaking game.
You toy with my feelings,
And open old scars.
The old love we had
Died in our bitter wars.
So I'll go stand,
Alone in the rain.
It's the only thing there
To cover the pain.
The water will mingle
With my bitter teras,
And maybe just once
I can let go of my fears.
These fears…
You wouldn't understand.
These fears…
Under their weight, I can't stand.
These fears…
They don't hold you back.
These fears…
They're of everything I lack.
I'll crawl away
From this burning light.
Pick upthe pieces,
One day I might.
Until then,
I'll cry,
Letting the sweet rain,
Cover up my lies.

Great weekly guide
I THINK the SE Live weekly guide in Thursday's Southeast Missourian is great. The editor, Chris Harris, and her staff produce an informative, interesting review of what is happening in Southeast Missouri. Our family wouldn't know a third of what is taking place in our area without this guide. Kudos to SE Live.
Noticeable contrast
THE PEOPLE holding signs on the sidewalks is temporary. The horrible condition of the front of the Esquire Theater seems to be permanent.
Payback time
WHEN YOU get your rebate check, please be sure to hold some back. After all, we borrowed it from China, and we're going to have to pay it back with interest.
Money for food
I KEEP hearing about people not having enough to eat and running out of money. I bet I could go to their home and follow them around when they go out shopping and see where they spend their money. And they've got enough money to buy something to eat. It's the other things they buy that takes their money. They have all kinds of things they want to do before buying food.
More important
IT WOULD be a nice thing to plant flowers and shrubs on the interstate exit and entrance ramps. However, I think it would be even prettier to see all the food pantry shelves filled up. I'd like to see people who have places to live. I'd like to see electricity on instead of people using candles. I'm sorry, but I don't think flowers are that important right now.
School lunches
I THINK it's wonderful that a couple of the schools are going to have free meals for children all summer. I don't know that Blanchard Elementary School is the easiest place for children to get to. A lot of the people who have trouble buying groceries also don't have a car. Maybe school officials should have chosen a school in the neighborhoods where children could walk there instead of needing a ride.
Not running red lights
I TRAVEL all the time through the intersections at Cape Rock Road and Kingsżhighway and William Street and Kingshighway, and I don't see people running red lights. I'm sure if the police see someone doing something grossly wrong, they're going to stop them.
Still driving
A MAN has had nine DWIs and got off on this last one. Why is someone like that allowed to drive? I've known people who have had three DWIs who are in jail.
Library stop sign
I VISIT the Cape Girardeau Public Library a couple times a week. I've noticed the driveway that comes out of the temporary location onto Broadview Street doesn't have a stop sign, and the traffic on Broadview does not stop. I have seen on several occasions near misses where people think they have the right of way because there's no stop sign. I know it's a temporary location, but we need to get a stop sign put up.
Finding Osama
I'VE BEEN told that since the 1970s we have had satellites that have cameras with enough magnification to pick up license-plate numbers on automobiles. Last August we launched a space vehicle to one of the poles of Mars in search of ice. As this space vehicle parachuted to its target, our satellite circling Mars photographed its descent. It was an awesome picture. It's been almost seven years since the horrors of 9-11. Does the U.S. government really think we believe our troops can't find Osama bin Laden? What an insult.

Video: A Fascinating Look Inside a McDonald's Photo Shoot
Ever wonder why that Big Mac looks so much better in the commercial than it does when you sink your teeth into it? Welcome to the amazing world of food styling (something to which we magazine health and food editors are no strangers; we too sometimes hire food stylists to help make our recipes look yummy). In the video above, the director of marketing for McDonald's Canada talks through a burger photo shoot that shows how the advertising team gets the food to look so perfect. You can achieve the same look at home—if you use a one of those crème brulee torchy things to melt the cheese just so, and a special "shot" to get an appetizing amount of ketchup oozing out.
Thanks! You're on our list.
And your life's about to get more interesting.
Some people like to travel by train because it combines the slowness of a car with the cramped public exposure of an airplane.

Regina Marchi is an Associate Professor in the Department of Journalism and Media Studies at SC&I. She is also an affiliated professor with the Rutgers Department of Latino and Caribbean Studies; the Rutgers Center for Race and Ethnicity, and the Rutgers Center for Media Studies.
Dr. Marchi conducts research and teaches courses in media theory and cultural studies, focusing on the intersections of media, culture and politics. Given concerns about the erosion of a broadly shared civic culture and an increasingly consolidated mass media landscape, her research examines alternative forms of political communication and civic engagement. Focusing on communication processes of populations historically marginalized from official politics and news media because of their class, race, gender, ethnicity or age, she is ultimately interested in how media and popular culture advance or hinder possibilities for democratic participation.
She has been recognized for teaching excellence and is a recipient of the National James W. Carey Media Research Award from the Carl Couch Center for Social and Internet Research. She also received an International Latino Book Award in the category of "Best Political/Historical Book." In addition, she has received a "Leaders in Diversity" Faculty Award from the Rutgers University Office of the President.
Prior to life in academia, Regina Marchi worked as a journalist in the US and Central America. In Central America, she spent time with Mayan communities in Guatemala as well as with Guaymi, Emberá and Kuna Indigenous communities in Panama. She later spent several years working in Boston as a community organizer and program administrator in the areas of public health and urban environmental justice. During this time, she volunteered in local initiatives that used arts and culture to improve community health, youth development and cross-cultural understanding.
Dr. Marchi teaches courses in the following areas:
(PDFs of some of her publications can be downloaded from the "Other Information" section below.)
Dr. Marchi's book, DAY OF THE DEAD IN THE USA: THE MIGRATION AND TRANSFORMATION OF A CULTURAL PHENOMENON (Rutgers University Press 2009), analyzes public art and cultural rituals as vernacular media that communicate about Latino identity and politics. In 2010, the book won the national James W. Carey Award for Media Research and also received an International Latino Book Award in the category of Best History/Political Book. Regina Marchi has been invited multiple times to discuss her research on National Public Radio and has been a featured author on the international book website TheBrowser.com.
*** Book Description: ***
"El Dia de los Muertos" has enjoyed renewed popularity since the 1970s, when Chicano artists in the US began expanding "Day of the Dead" north of the Border with altar exhibits, performance art, and other public expressions. This celebration is now featured in newspapers, magazines, TV, radio, museums, and commercial venues across the country. Regina Marchi combines a mix of ethnography, historical research, oral history, and cultural analysis to explore the manifold and unexpected transformations that occur when the tradition is embraced by the US mainstream. DAY OF THE DEAD IN THE USA examines the influence of the mass media, consumer culture, and globalization on the growth of El Dia de los Muertos, providing insights into how public art can create community, transmit oppositional messages, and advance educational, political, and economic goals.
Regina Marchi, together with Dr. Lynn Schofield Clark, is currently writing a book called YOUNG PEOPLE AND THE FUTURE OF NEWS: SOCIAL MEDIA AND THE RISE OF CONNECTIVE JOURNALISM (under contract with Cambridge University Press). The book discusses how social media are used by youth to get and share news; how networked communities can both encourage and hinder the development of political consciousness and civic engagement; and what all of this may mean for the future of news.

The Macmillan Acute Oncology Service at the University Hospital of Southampton has developed to offer people with cancer timely access to specialist advice, reassurance and urgent treatment. The service enables patients with cancer to avoid the Emergency Department. All patients are reviewed on arrival by one of the highly skilled emergency practitioners, and are then seen by a cancer care consultant within 24 hours. Thanks to a total of 22 people working within the service, patients' needs are met on the spot and their length of stay is significantly reduced.
'We have an emergency phone line which is staffed 24 hours a day,' says Team Leader Hannah Bingley. 'Patients can call it if they have any concerns, whether they are treatment-related or general cancer complications. About 50% of callers receive the support they need to stay at home, while we ask the rest to come in.'
'Some patients have called this service their lifeline. They gain so much reassurance and confidence from knowing that we are here.'
If you would like to find out more about the team's work please email Programme Manager, David Seychell.

Now I know it wasn't overly informative but it was interesting to get an in sight of the whereabouts of the grid/pit/paddock etc. Mixed in with some funny moments of EJ being thrown in the pool 3 times then DC being man handled and then thrown into the pool by seb vettel, Adrian newey and a couple of others and his argument not to be thrown in I am wearing White jeans!! Really liked it yes it missed the driver interviews or a huge amount of post race analysis but I think that was due to location more than anything
I missed the majority of it this week but it is always pretty entertaining!
The forum has lacked live driver interviews with Jake, Eddie and David recently. The fans on twitter have asked for an interview with Kobayashi twice now, and the BBC hasn't delivered.
They mentioned the request for an interview and ten minutes later showed one.
I meant Kobayashi actually speaking to Jake, Eddie and David. I was under the impression that the fans wanted those three to get him on the show.
Can someone PLEASE tell me where the driver of the day poll is (or was?)
For the last three GPs I've searched their website and cannot find it for the life of me.
You can find it down the right side of the race report page. I found it after the Turkish GP by accident.
I'll have to look there again when the Canadian race is on. Thanks.
I'm not a big fan of ones like today. I prefer when they sit in a hospitality area and analyze the race, they used to get more drivers turning up that way too, and some more useful interviews.
Does anyone else feel really uncomfortable when they're walking through a crowd and the cameraman is bashing into people? I was expecting someone to bash their head open on the side of that pool too…perhaps I just have agoraphobia.
The driver of the day thing is timed. Only up for less than an hour as far as I can tell, so it is quite possible that you can't find it.
Also, I didn't enjoy today's one much. It's funny to see I guess, but I'm looking for more information more than fun.

Tuesday's Crochet Tip – Turn a Doily Pattern into a RugTuesday, March 11th, 2014
It's National Crochet Month! To celebrate, we have some wonderful crochet tips to share with you. This week's tip is from Sara, WEBS Marketing Coordinator and crochet designer.
This is a great instant-gratification project! Take your favorite doily pattern and work it up using a chunky yarn and a big hook.
We did something similar with our Hellebore Rug which was crocheted using 2 strands of Northampton Bulky, but if you're looking for something washable try Katia Big Ribbon or Schachenmayr's Bravo Big or Filaria.

Instant Press in AppEngine
Posted by Charles Guo | Filed under python, instant press, appengine
My original intention is to run Instant Press on AppEngine. I have run into a few road blocks, here is a few
- Admin login works with localhost: http://localhost:8000/admin/default/site, but it doesn't work with 127.0.0.1 !!
- Try follow https://bitbucket.org/mulonemartin/instantpress/wiki/Home to install Instant Press won't work, have to use git repository. I have it here if you want to grab it https://github.com/mycguo/instantpress
- When deployed to AppEngine, it is complaining about the table column named "parent". It has to be changed to something else.
I managed to run Instant Presse locally
Finally, I hit this error in AppEngine and have to give up. Apparently, it is using PIL internally and it is not supported in AppEngine.

Additionally, the track is on sale now and available at all digital retail providers. LISTEN BELOW!
Who says, "I've always loved this song. It came out in my early childhood and embodies such a reminiscent feeling for me. I've been dying to cover it for a while now and have finally done it! I can't wait to start singing it live and sharing one of my favorite songs of all time. I've been working so hard on my next album, but in the meantime wanted to give something special to my Who Crew!"

A heroic father is dead after he tried to protect his 11-year-old daughter from two heavily armed men during a home invasion.
Police say the incident occurred late Tuesday night in Miami after two black males entered the home with the intent to rob. The dad, identified as Maurice Harris, 36, jumped up and fought the suspects when they attempted to enter his 11-year-old daughter's bedroom. The dad was fatally shot "several times" during the scuffle.

Certainly a father and husband's worst nightmare, the two armed men also held Harris' wife at gunpoint during the home invasion, according to the victim's mother-in-law Annie Streeter.
"One of the guys tried to get to his daughter's room, he jumped up and they were fighting back and forth," Streeter told WSVN-TV. "I guess that's when the gun went off."

Welcome to 2007 – the time when more people than ever, with absolutely no medical conditions or sicknesses, are taking themselves off to the operating theatres of the world and paying rich surgeons a fortune to be sliced, diced, nipped, tucked, sucked, stretched, and implanted. To be made beautiful, hot, or more attractive at the very least. To be made new and improved, popular, noticed – a surgical path to happiness.
Perhaps we should forget the wrinkles around our eyes and get the doctor to take a look at our brain while we're on the table.
Somehow, on some level, some people (okay, many) have bought into the disturbing belief that if they have fewer wrinkles, less sag, more perk, less fat and skin, and perhaps a different nose they will be happier and more fulfilled; their life will be better.
They must have bought into it, otherwise, why would they risk their life (all surgery is a calculated risk) and pay a fortune to do it? People who are already in debt are so desperate to be enhanced they are taking out more loans to undergo cosmetic surgery. Somewhere along the line they (we) have been programmed to believe that a Certain Physical Appearance = Attractiveness = Desirability = Happiness.
We bought into the lie. How do we un-learn this crap when we live in a society that constantly screams at us how beauty equals success? See any movie, watch any TV show, read any magazine; it's all about being gorgeous – at all costs. Even the TV show Ugly Betty is all about the unlikely situation of a less-than-glamorous girl with eyebrows like a Muppet trying to survive in the beautiful, bitchy, glam world of the fashion magazine. While many viewers identify with the character and feel for her (perhaps because they see some of themselves in Betty) and want to give her a big old hug, I haven't spoken to anyone who actually wants to look like her.
While on one level the show is seemingly all about seeing the underdog overcome adversity in a pretentious world, on another level it teaches us that the ugly girl will struggle, will get the dorky ugly boyfriend, and will have to work harder than the pretty girls to achieve the same outcome. She will be ridiculed and disadvantaged because she's not pretty enough. If it were true that beauty equaled success, then surely all models and Hollywood Hotties would be universally fulfilled, balanced, and emotionally healthy little campers. Clearly this is not the situation. In fact, they would be the happiest because they are the most beautiful, apparently.
One of the challenges of my job (my company facilitates over 1,500 Personal Training sessions every week) is to help people (who are going through physical changes) keep perspective. That is, not throwing all of their eggs in their physical basket while simultaneously neglecting their psychological, emotional, and spiritual selves. Some people are surprised that an exercise scientist (a bloke who owns a couple of gyms) would spend more time working with a person's head and heart stuff than he would the physical.
I do this because I know (long-term) satisfaction, happiness, fulfillment, and joy never comes from the physical (it can be part of, but never the total solution). I understand that appearance (beauty) has very little to do with long-term success. I don't care too much about my clients' appearance, but I do care about how they feel and function and their overall health. While I do care about their cholesterol, blood sugar, body-fat levels, posture, diet, and their cardiovascular health (the physical stuff), I care more that they understand that while it's great to be in shape and look good, our bodies aren't who we are – just where we live.
Most of us agree we are complex, multi-dimensional, psychological, emotional, and spiritual beings who roam this big blue ball for eighty years or so in this physical body, and then once we die we… okay, that's another article!
So when our body becomes our identity (and it does for many people), we're in trouble. When our confidence, self-esteem, and emotional state (and happiness) are dependent on our weight, our wrinkle factor or some other physical variable, then we're on a path to misery, frustration, and desperation. I have seen many (attractive) people become more and more preoccupied with and miserable about their appearance over time than you could imagine.
If I had ten bucks for every time someone told me, "If only I could lose x kilos (pounds) I'd be happy" or "If only I could lose just five more, then I'd be okay," I'd be loaded! The problem is that they lose the weight, get the nose job, and get the fat sucked, and they're really happy – for five minutes. They wake up one day (not long after) and realise all of those issues are still there. All of a sudden they understand the futility of trying to address internal issues with an external solution.
I spent years as a young bodybuilder trying to achieve physical perfection (or as best I could with my genetics) because I had some stupid belief (on some level) that if only I looked like some kinda cartoon character — got my arms and back big enough, my waist small enough, my shoulders wide enough, and my body-fat low enough — life would be great, girls would dig me, blokes would respect me, and I would be happy.
I did (get the body) and I wasn't (happy).
A big wake-up call was had by the bloke with the veins and biceps, and a life-long exploration into real success and real beauty began.Powered by Sidelines

I am playing age of wushu atm i like the crafting system but the rest of the game not to crazy about because you can't do anything meaningful without grouping for instances and game is too pay to win for me.
I want a game that has the following:
All Gear in game is player made and has durability ie like swg,age wushu.
The ability to farm mats and get recipes and skill manuals on your own without need for groups.
Something with current graphics and has a large player base.
Sandbox skill based tired of leveling...
Not Eve Online tried it hated it.
Player housing would be nice or guild.
PvP must have a good combat system and pvp age of wushu has clunky combat.
Can be in beta and no not mortal online tried it hated it.
Only game with player economy is EVE Online you did not like, so...
Originally posted by Gdemami

ahh no age of wushu everything in game is made by players, you need to eat or starve to death, all gear has durability and even bags are time limited so you need to buy bags as they wear out.
Problem is it's pvp centric and pay to win with no real pve thats not group based in instances.
There are more games out there with player based economy.
How about Dark Age of Camelot?
It's an older game but the graphics have held up pretty well over the years and, in my opinion still has some of the best spell effects in any MMO. It isn't a sandbox but leveling is incredibly easy and fast and still has one of the best skill systems I have seen. If you are looking for good PvP it doesn't get any better than the game that created RvR.
The crafting system is fairly dated but is still pretty deep, at level 50 all players will need crafted gear in their RvR templates, which means you need an armor crafter to make the armor, a spellcrafter to add stats/resists and, an alchemist to add any charges or procs to the armor. It also has housing and nowadays it is very solo friendly in terms of getting geared up and gathering rare crafting mats.
The playerbase is fairly small but during peak hours there are normally around 1.5-2k players online(only one server cluster) and, since it is an old school mmo the community is generally mature and very helpful.
Just throwing my 2 coppers out there.

AoW crafting is a joke - loot drop and RNG based, fighting for nodes, stalls, horrible market UI, etc.
AoW is just like any other themepark game and those will unlikely have ever any meaningful crafting.
ok some craft games.. from the top of my head.
1:Salem: if your desperate.. EVERYthing is made via player and research etc.... the graphics are....yea.......
2:Minecraft =CRAFT everything.... better on smp servers

I was gonna suggest Tale in the Desert until I read he wants combat and whatnot, TitD has no combat.
I guess Mortal Online is probably what you're looking for. Can't say I've played it much but from what I know it has everything you're after, especially when it comes to player base crafting and homes.
"All Gear in game is player made and has durability ie like swg,age wushu"
Istaria. You will find that all armor, except training/newbie one and weapons have to be made by someone.
"The ability to farm mats and get recipes and skill manuals on your own without need for groups"
Istaria too. Materials are possible to get, some recipes are drop-only.
Something with current graphics and has a large player base.
Well, *not* Istaria. And it has levelling.
]Player housing would be nice or guild.
Istaria, Lotro. In Istaria if you pay $15/month, you are entitled to buy a plot and build whatsoever you desire, be it 5 fountains or 25 storages. In Lotro, every player can own a house, simple or Premium; Kinship can have their own.
PvP must have a good combat system and pvp age of wushu has clunky combat]
No ideas. reason: Istaria and Lotro are PVE
Most points (in my opinion) goes for Istaria. You can craft items with your choice. Would you add Crush II and Slash II abilities to your sword? Or would you rather add 2 slots for crystals so that you can add whatsoever bonuses later? It's up to you. Most resources are possible to get; some are very grindy, some are not. Almost every stuff, except very basic ones, are crafted by players and due to multi-classing abilities, you may find veterans capable of doing anything.
However, Istaria lacks PvP, huge player base and it does have levelling (kill monster, get 10 xp, gather 990 more xp to get to next lvl). Lotro may lack player-created stuff, has level-ups, but it has far larger player base.

That sort of kills it right there. There aren't many games with current graphics, fewer have a large playerbase, can't think of any that are heavily crafter oriented.
Currently, the trend for major games is action combat, personal storyline, near completely soloable, and definitely themepark.
