Will Common Plecos Destroy Amazon Swords?
Hey guys. I'm wanting to get an amazon sword, but I've read a few times about people having their amazon sword plants completely demolished by them.
Is this true? If so, what are the chances of it happening, and can I prevent it some way?
It is true, in my experience. There isn't much you can do to prevent this, other than not put Pleco's in planted aquariums.
Not so much that they eat them (especially if your plecos are well-fed) but moreso that they'll simply tear them up and uproot them once they get to lunker-sized.
In my expierience ,it is as batman said. If the pleco is well fed with veggie flakes of some kind and or algae wafers,, then they seldom eat the plants outright. If their diet is lacking in vegetable content however, they will rasp (suck), on the leaves of broad leafed plants and over time,, the leaves become thin from the rasping and slowly die.And is true,,as they become larger, (common plecos) they will root around and dislodge plants while searching for anything edible.
They do it in a very small amount....they just like the new born leaves I think bcoz, I hav seen it many times in my tank

The Title has the basic question.
If I was a Cygnar player, running Gastone Crosse. He needs a jack. Can the Gallant be his Jack?
I am a bit confused partisan status here. I believe I can't. Since the Gallant is Cygnar model while in my army. There for he is not a Merc for the purpose of being Crosse's jack. I would need Vanguard or Rover, correct?
But if Gallant's partisan status is based on his controller. He be okay.

With a subscription, you can watch through the Hulu application on Internet-connected TVs, tablets, phones and PCs. For $7.99/month, you get access to our huge library of the best TV, Hulu Originals, hit movies, and more. For an extra $4.00/month, you can enjoy Hulu commercial-free. You can also add SHOWTIME® to your subscription to enjoy instant access to award-winning original programming such as Homeland, The Affair, Ray Donovan, Masters of Sex and Episodes as well as exclusive Hollywood blockbusters. SHOWTIME Add-on costs and additional $8.99/month.
Below are answers to some common questions about Hulu subscription billing:
I'm seeing monthly charges, why can't I access my Hulu subscription?
I don't remember signing up for Hulu, why am I being charged?
To view your account details, including your billing history and payment information, please visit here. If you are trying to make changes to your billing but do not see a Your Subscription section on your account page, or the section prompts you to Renew Your Subscription, you may be logged in with the wrong email address.
If you are running into issues logging in, visit here, where you can request a password reset email. If you're still unable to log in, please contact our Viewer Experience team. When you do write in, the following information will be super helpful for us:
If you see Hulu charges on your statement, but do not have access to Hulu subscription content or cannot see any billing information on your account page, you are likely logged in to a basic Hulu.com account (not to be confused with a Hulu subscription on a free trial). Please log out, then log in with the correct Hulu credentials. If you're not sure which email your subscription is linked to, you can find out here.
For current subscribers, you can select an Add-on through the site account page or through the Hulu app on select devices. To select an Add-on online, visit the Your Subscription section of your account page. Select "Add-ons" to adjust your subscription settings.
When selecting your new Add-on, you will be charged a prorated amount for the remainder of your billing cycle. Your bill will reflect the full amount of your next billing charge, which includes your Hulu base plan and any Add-ons.
To adjust your subscription settings through the Hulu web account page:
Visit your account page at hulu.com/account
Select Manage under Add-ons to adjust your subscription settings
Select On under No Commercials or SHOWTIME if you want to add any of them to your subscription.
Confirm by selecting Continue and then Update Subscription
For more information about the No Commercials Add-on, please visit here. To know more about SHOWTIME, read this article.
To remove an Add-on from your subscription, please visit hulu.com/account. Select Add-ons to adjust your subscription settings. You will continue having access to your Add-on for the remainder of your current billing cycle, but will not be charged at the start of your next billing cycle.
If you are seeing charges from Hulu on your bank statement, but don't remember signing up yourself, it's likely a family member did so using your information. If you're still having trouble, please contact our Viewer Experience team and include details about the dates and the amounts of the charges. The following information will help us locate the charges as well.
If you've recently signed up for a Hulu subscription or entered your billing information on our site, you may see an authorization hold on your statement. Not to worry, this is just an authorization to confirm the billing information recently submitted for your Hulu account. This hold is instantly reversed and is never collected by Hulu. Authorization hold amounts can very based on region or by card issuer - These charges will direct you to hulu.com/auth from your statement. For additional information about these holds, please visit here.
Traditionally, we only allow one free trial per user each year. When you enter information that has already been used for a free trial of Hulu, our system will give you a warning to let you know you are not eligible for another trial. If you proceed with the signup process, the trial will be bypassed, and you'll be charged for a Hulu subscription and put on a paid subscription plan.
If you've recently selected an Add-on for your subscription, you may see two charges for Hulu - one charge for your previous billing period and a second prorated charge for your new Add-on.
If you are seeing more than one of the same monthly charge from Hulu, it is likely that you have two open subscriptions under different email addresses. To locate the secondary account, visit this page and enter the card number(s) being charged. If you need any assistance, please contact us, including the last four digits of the card being charged, the number listed after HLU*HULU PLUS on your billing statement, as well as the email addresses attached to the accounts.
We are legally required to collect tax for certain jurisdictions. We have set prices for a Hulu subscription or any Premium Add-ons, but based on your billing ZIP code, your city/county may apply an additional tax.
In order to stop Hulu subscription charges, the subscription must be fully canceled online or over the phone. Deleting the app on your device will not cancel your subscription. To make sure you will no longer be charged, follow the directions here.
You sure can! Please send our Support team an email, or give us a call at (888) 713-2455. We're typically around every day from 5am-10pm PDT, and we're happy to help.

Hollywood gets Painted Blue for 'Avatar' Premiere
Being blue is not always gloomy. ET's very own Kevin Frazier was with the very smiley stars of 'Avatar' on the blue carpet at the Los Angeles premiere on Wednesday night.
With the film receiving four Golden Globe nominations, Zoe Saldana had a lot to be happy about. She was proud of director James Cameron because "he deserves all the acclamations in the world. He put his sweat, his heart, and 150% for four years for this film…"
Ironically, James premiered blockbuster hit 'Titanic' at this very same theater. He prophesied, "Maybe it's good luck, right?" He also promised ET that "'Titanic' in 3D is going to rock....we'll probably bring it out in 2012 for the 100-year anniversary."
When Kevin showed him his Life magazine cover, James replied, "I didn't even have to land on the moon or discover a cure for cancer or anything." His wife, Suzy Amis, chimed in with a laugh, "You just created another planet."
Zoe said of her 'Avatar' action figure, "I feel like if a Smurf were to grow up and look longer, it would look like an Avatar."
Actress Sigourney Weaver describes the movie as "'Gone with the Wind' in outer space." Audiences can enter the mystical world of 'Avatar' on Friday, when it launches into theaters nationwide.

Shawn Sinclair on Jan 7, 2017
I've only been sewing for two weeks and I wanted to challenge myself. This was a perfect project as the instructions were very clear and I'm very happy with the final product.
Searching For Something More
After college I found myself working as a forklift driver in a fish oil warehouse just outside of Boston. In all honesty I was having the time of my life until it hit me, this is my job. It's not a summer thing, not a gig to fill some time, no, this is my real life with no where else to go.
A dead end.
As soon as that notion struck me it was hard to have fun on the job anymore. I unloaded shipping containers while a little voice in my head reminded me, "This is NOT where you should be". All of a sudden smelling like rotting fish wasn't so funny. I learned my first major life lesson when I called in one morning and said, "I QUIT." The lesson? Don't quit your job unless you already have another one. Just an FYI.
Things got a little desperate and after 2 months, a dwindling bank account, and no leads in sight, I started to embellish my qualifications, maybe even lie a little a bit. I applied to a job as a seamstress in South Boston having about a Home Ec. eduction in sewing but knowing I needed a more creative path. Not surprisingly I wasn't hired. That wasn't the first rejection either. There was the flower shop that for some reason wouldn't trust me that I could "totally" arrange flowers. Or the custom ornamental iron company that thought I'd be a "liability". People seemed really stuck on experience. Then a miracle happened, somehow, weeks later, I got a call back from the custom drapery workroom and was asked to come in.
That's pretty much where this story ends, but my entire future begins. I realized knowing how to make a log cabin quilt does not a seamstress make and somehow I didn't get fired. Instead, I worked my tail off during the day learning on the job, read "how-to" books at night, and realized this is what I should have been doing all along.
I eventually made the difficult decision to leave Boston, and my seamstress job, to move to upstate NY in order to afford more space and give myself the chance to strike out on my own. I started my Etsy shop and eventually began writing for books such as Lunch Bags! from C&T Publishing, Best of Stitch: Beautiful Bedrooms from Interweave, craft magazines like Stitch, Sew News, Sew It All, Simply Handmade, and ReadyMade, appeared as a guest on Sew It All TV for PBS, filmed multiple online sewing classes for Craft Daily, and of course started my blog, Lucy Blaire Handmade.
When I'm not keeping all of that straight I'm doing my best to be a good wife to my husband Ben, and a mother to my beautiful daughter Marian in our little house with the red tin roof in Catskill, NY.
Etsy has made it possible for me to make a living doing the one thing I truly love and excel at and I can't thank them enough. For more information check out my website (you can find a link to the right) or these awesome Etsy features:

Accepted payment methods

International orders cannot be tracked unless they are registered which is very expensive. Once an international order leaves the US I am no longer responsible for it. That being said, in all the years I've been doing this I have only had one international order "lost".
*Some countries may charge their own import/customs/duty fees that are separate from my shipping charges and completely out of my control.
Refunds and Exchanges
If an item arrives damaged please contact me immediately, preferably with a photo. Photos of what happened help me in preventing similar issues in the future.
If you purchase an item and are not satisfied please contact me so we can discuss the issue. If you are still not happy, send the product back for a refund less the original shipping costs.
All sales are final on PDF patterns.
Additional policies and FAQs
1. What is oilcloth?
Oilcloth is a durable and waterproof vinyl fabric. It differs from laminated fabrics in that it is vinyl laid down on a thin mesh of cotton as opposed to cotton fabric that has been laminated on one side. Both sides of oilcloth are waterproof and wash easily.
2. Who makes your bags?
I do! Everything in my shop is sewn one at a time by hand in my studio in Catskill, NY.
3. Are your bags lined?
No, each of my bags are one single layer of oilcloth making them sturdy yet flexible enough to mold to whatever the contents. Both sides of the bags, inside and out, are waterproof and washable.
4. Do you sell wholesale?
I do! Send me a convo if you're interested in seeing the line sheet from my Etsy Wholesale shop.
5. I found a pattern I like in one size, but I can't find it in another size, why not?
People purchase different sizes at different rates so sometimes I may only have a few left of a particular pattern, in a particular size.
6. Can I get a different color zipper on my bag?
I buy all of my zippers in bulk so the colors you see are the only ones I stock. As far as switching colors between bags, I try to make many bags in advance so I'm well stocked at all times. Because of this I can't switch up the zipper colors.
7. I ordered a bag but it's too big! Can I exchange it?
All of the dimensions of the bags are listed in the description so please read the listings carefully before ordering. If you still think your bag is too big (or too small) please contact me and I can do an exchange. You will be responsible for return shipping costs.
8. I'm an international customer and am still waiting for my order, can you tell me where it is?
Unfortunately, no. Unless I register my international packages (which is very expensive) I really don't know what happens once they leave the US and I can't be held responsible. The good news is, I ship international all the time and have only ever had one lost package!
9. When I went to pick up my (international) package there were extra fees! I already paid for shipping!
Sometimes certain governments impose duties or custom charges on top of what it costs to ship the package. This is government by government and a totally separate charge from what it cost me to ship the package to you.

I am a Def Leppard fan going at least as far back as Hysteria and maybe even to On Through the Night.
That said, I must admit to falling off the horse in the years since Adrenalize. Yes, I have Slang and X, but I don't have Euphoria or the covers collection. Also, when I reach for Def Leppard I generally reach for the best of collections.
That brings me to Songs From the Sparkle Lounge, an album that, quite frankly, snuck up on me. I had no idea that they had even gone into the studio. I was under the impression that they were towards the end, perhaps doing the occasional tour. Obviously I was wrong.
This album is something of a mixed bag, as Def Leppard is definitely past their prime as a top of the pop charts kind of band. Still, Def Leppard is a band that is letting their maturity and experience shine through in an album that embraces their roots as much as it treads new ground.
When it comes to Def Leppard it is hard for me to be completely impartial. Their 80's output had such a profound impact on me in my youth. When I look back on my personal history with music, Def Leppard is a big part of it. I remember when I first heard "Rocket" I knew I was in love, then I bought Hysteria (on cassette) off a classmate who couldn't stand it (blasphemy!), and within minutes I had a favorite band for the first time in my life.
I listened to that tape over and over again. I swear, there was a time I could recite all of the lyrics, in order, for the entire album. Of course, my love extended backwards over Pyromania, High and Dry, and On Through the Night. All were great. So, when I listen to any new material from them it will invariably be compared to the glory years.
The first thing that jumped out at me, something that immediately turned me (unfairly) against the album, was the sound. It didn't sound like Hysteria (or Adrenalize, or Slang). I don't know why I was expecting it to. I am intelligent enough to know they have grown older and they have changed. Songs From The Sparkle Lounge is still a good album.
They have stripped away any expectations and rebuilt Def Leppard from the ground up. For better or worse, this feels like an album that all five guys put their heart and soul into. I don't get the impression that they were looking to recreate the magic of the 1980s, or that they were looking to retake the pop charts. Songs From The Sparkle Lounge doesn't target today's youth audience. Instead, they focused their energies on an album filled with catchy tunes, great hooks, and targeted an audience of people just like themselves.
Def Leppard has always been known for high production values. Taking advantage of that, on this album there is a renewed focus on the guitars. Yes, guitars have always been an important part of the band, but they seem to be pushed more to the forefront here, creating this virtual wall of pop guitar sounds. Phil Collen and Vivian Campbell team up to create that wall, and they form a solid unit, backed by "the Rick's," (Allen on drums and Savage on bass). Leading them into battle, as always, is vocalist Joe Elliot.
Now, all is not wine and roses. Yes, this is a solid album with some good tunes, but it is also an album that does not stick with me once it is over. The songs are infinitely catchy while they are playing, but soon fade after the last note. The sound is definitely Def Leppard, but it seems to be missing something. It does not quite have the soul that I would like to here. Still, overall it is a solid album.
Bottomline.This is not the triumphant return of the Lep, but it wasn't meant to be. This is an album with nice tunes that are easy to get into collected in an album that does not overstay its welcome, clocking in at a lean 39-minutes. If you are a fan of the band, you will want to give this a listen. Likewise, if you want a mature collection of rock tunes on the softer side, this may be right up your alley.Powered by Sidelines

Another Mayor Drops Out of MAIG - Gun Control Group
Buckeye Firearms Association is reporting that Walton Hills Mayor Marlene Anielski is the latest Ohio mayor to resign membership in Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG), a gun control group founded by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
Anielski said she had no idea about the true nature of MAIG when she joined just a few months ago, also saying that she and her husband are Life Members of the National Rifle Association (NRA).
On August 17, Anielski followed through on her word, sending her resignation letter to Mayor Bloomberg both by fax and mail. Following is the text of that letter:
August 17, 2009
VIA FACSIMILE and U.S. MAIL
Honorable Michael R. Bloomberg
Mayor of the City of New York
253 Broadway, # 9
New York, New York 10007
Subject: Resignation from Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG)
Dear Mayor Bloomberg,
Upon careful review of your statements and actions, listening to the concerns of many of my constituents and receiving communications from and speaking with firearm industry officials, I hereby, effective immediately, resign my membership in the Mayors Against Illegal Guns coalition. I am withdrawing because you are attempting to erode all gun ownership, not just illegal guns.
I have learned that the coalition may be working on issues which conflict with legal gun ownership, and that some actions on your behalf are dubious. I joined your coalition because of its purpose to combat the criminal acquisition and misuse of guns, which is a goal shared by every single American. Regrettably, it has become continuously clear to me that you are using this coalition of mayors to advance a hidden agenda of bringing lawsuits against members of the firearms industry and spreading anti-gun propaganda.
Mayor, you and your coalition of allies have misrepresented yourselves to the mayors of America and its citizens. This effort is simply another attempt to shift blame for violent crime from criminals to law-abiding gun owners. This is gun control, not crime prevention. These tactics do not target illegal guns, but rather honest citizens and lawful dealers, essentially criminalizing all gun ownership. This coalition makes no distinction whatsoever between law-abiding gun owners and violent criminals.
Please Mayor Bloomberg, instead of being a part of a misguided coalition and advocating attacks against law-abiding gun owners, I ask you to direct your efforts towards strict enforcement of existing laws in our cities to ensure both our safety and civil rights. I am dedicated in defending and advancing the right of Ohio citizens to own and use firearms for all legal activities, including self-defense and competitions. We need to defend our Constitutional rights to keep and bear arms.
Mayor, I can only hope that you will see my departure and the recent departure of other mayors from your coalition as a sign that things must change. We are all on the same side when it comes to stopping criminals from getting guns. Where you lose me is in your true quest - to end lawful firearms ownership and destroy a lawful American industry.

It is August, and the summer is winding down, but no summer is every truly complete until the production of "Over the Edge." The Nat Gold Players, in collaboration with Clearly Confused Productions, Las Vegas' youth-run theater group, present the fifth installment in as many years of "Over the Edge V: Frack You."

After another disappointing drill — the Taylor Well No. 2 replacement well is only producing a sixth of what was expected — the city of Las Vegas finds itself in the same place it has been for years. While drawing 90 percent of its water from the Gallinas River, the city desperately needs to diversify its water sources.
The Samaritan House is one of our better community organizations. It reflects one of the best characteristics of Las Vegas — our willingness to share with and help those who are down on their luck.
Board member Rosie Lopez recently filled me in on the four major programs that make up the Samaritan House's mission. They are:
• Food distribution, which takes place on the second Wednesday of each month at the main office at 220 Bernalillo St.
Jerry Sands had another big night, and runs in the seventh and eighth innings propelled the host Isotopes past the Las Vegas 51s 6-4 on Saturday night.
Albuquerque improved to 66-49 and held a two-game lead atop the Pacific Coast League's American Southern Division going into Sunday's series opener with visiting Tucson, the San Diego Padres' Triple A affiliate.
On Saturday, the 51s led 2-0 midway through the second before Albuquerque tied it with two scores in the bottom of the inning.

LONDON — Michael Phelps got up to leave his last news conference at the Olympic pool when his relay mates were asked if they thought he would really stay retired.
Before they could answer, Phelps smiled and said emphatically: "Yes, yes."
The most decorated Olympian called it a career on Saturday night with a fitting ending — a gold medal in the 4x100-meter medley relay at the London Games.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I have a released state income tax lien for $676 that was released by Cook County in 2012. Im trying to get this removed from my credit report. Im trying to get a home loan, but this is keeping my score down even though it is released. I am aware of Form 12277 and 668(Z) that can be filed on a federal level to have it removed from records, but I have found nothing about this on a state level. My hope was that I could file a motion to vacate, and ask for the mercy of the court to remove this so that I can have it removed from my credit report. This will help me qualify for the home loan and give my family a better life. Is there an attorney that can help with this process or is there another way I can go about this?
You can do nothing about this notation on your credit report. The report indicates that the lien has been released. You cannot file any motion to remove the lien from your records which will also wipe it off your credit record. Sorry.
Can this not be done with the courts directly? Asking the court to vacate it and then disputing with the bureaus?
So Im basically in debtor prison for the next seven years then...
You are not in debtor's prison.
Well yes, I kind of am. This mistake now puts this public record on my credit reports for 7-10 years. This negatively affects my report. Since we're all debtors and at the mercy of the credit agencies, than yes, this infraction will sit on my report and affect my ability to get good interest rates, qualify for mortgages, etc until removed. Lets just say hypothetically that I was never properly served a summons for this. Would I still have no grounds with the court system to have this vacated? It seems your telling me that I have zero options with this, but many forums online have consumers posting stories of how they have had these items removed at a state level and so I requested the legal advise of the AVVO community for this item. On a federal level there are options to have this completely wiped out, so I find it hard to believe that I have no options at a state level...
There is nothing you can do to get the lien taken completely off your credit report. If you suffered some sort of hardship that resulted in your being unable to pay your taxes, you might try writing a letter to the credit reporting companies explaining what happened and the steps you took to resolve the problem. Sometimes that will help. Good luck.
firstname.lastname@example.com Office number: (860) 255-7423 Website: www.cttaxhelp.com. Our reply to your question has not created an attorney-client relationship. It should not be considered legal advice. You should contact an Attorney who can give you legal advice after acquainting themselves with the specifics of your case.
Will you acknowledge that this is 100% possible with a Federal Lien?
If the IRS agrees to your request you can have the lien withdrawn but it may still affect your credit report. You would need to ask the credit reporting companies if it still factors in to their calculations. I do not know whether it does or not. As far as most states go, frequently they do not have the same rules and regulations as the federal government.

Jim, real estate here is really flat now. Up until Aug, it was going
gangbusters. We purchased a home for our son mid-July after losing out on two homes
which were sold so fast they did not appear on the multi listings. When we
found the one we purchased, the agent stayed on it from early morning till 8 pm
getting the bid prepared, presenting, signatures and papers prepared after the
acceptance. The house had not been shown to anyone else. Job market is
tough here which I believe is part of the problem. My mother put her 9 yr old
condo on the market the first of Sept, moved to senior apartments on a full care
campus and the condo has not sold yet. She says she will move back if it does
not sell by May much to my dismay.
We built our home in 89 and paid 39,000 for the lot but I have no idea
what lots are selling for today. Our home value has doubled.
Here homes sell best in spring, usually. When is the best selling time
for your area?

To the Editor: We have some concerns with the meta-analysis by Dr Risch and colleagues,1 which examined the role of 5-HTTLPR in moderating the relationship between stress and depression. We agree with the authors that blanket acceptance of a robust and universal interaction between 5-HTTLPR and stress is unwarranted, and it is premature to translate this into clinical and forensic settings. However, the authors concluded that the original finding was not confirmed, despite numerous independent positive reports in the literature. Other conclusions should be considered.

Letters: Defusing the pension liability time bomb
MISSION VIEJO, Sidney P. Anderson: A menacing alarm bell is sounded by Moody's and also by billionaire Warren Buffett regarding public pensions ["New alarm bell about public pensions," Editorial, March 7].
Both Moody's Investors Service and Buffett warn that cities exiting bankruptcy, without having resolved that which put them into bankruptcy, face, as Buffett put it, a future "tapeworm."
But what can be done that has not already been contemplated and tried? In reality, nothing can be done because union contracts are said to be etched in stone.
There is, of course, the "electorate," which is accused by Buffett of being "ignorant of governmental pension costs."
We free-market captive, nonunionized taxpayers are only too aware of government pension costs. We read about them almost every day, but what can we do to stop this economic insanity? One partial solution is to vote out the "pals" of organized labor, who think only of campaign money and union votes. But to do that, we nonunion captives must be organized under an effective leader – someone like Howard Jarvis, perhaps.
In the meantime, the unions have carte blanche, and they understandably are playing that card to the max.
STANTON, Sandra Stubban: If tax exemptions are supposedly granted on the basis of whether a group engages in political activity, why are labor unions – which have become a virtual arm of the Democratic Party – still tax-exempt?
Different strokes for different folks, evidently.
Wrongful-shooting case
SANTA ANA, John Acosta: Kudos to the federal jury for its decision as it pertains to the Anaheim man shot by the policeman doing his job ["Jury rejects shooting lawsuit," Front Page, March 7].
It's sad that a life was lost. But when one disobeys the law and decides to make a run for it, there are consequences. I was taught from a very young age to obey law and order. If a policeman wants to talk to me, I'll abide by the order (as I have nothing to hide). We can't take the law into our own hands and behave in a threatening manner.

A five-month-old baby boy died after contracting a virus from another child on a hospital ward, an inquest heard today.
Noe Tomsett, who had a number of severe conditions from birth, caught the adenovirus while on the paediatric intensive care unit at St George's Hospital in Tooting, south London.
Deputy Westminster Coroner Dr Shirley Radcliffe told Noe's parents: "At the end of the day, your baby has died, and your baby acquired an infection on the ward - that must be devastating for you to deal with.
"We have heard today that your baby received excellent care while he was on the intensive care unit, and it was a tragedy that he acquired the adenovirus on the unit.
"But we can understand how these things can happen, with the best will in the world. Even with the best cross-contamination policies in the world, this can happen.
"But from a parent's position, it's not going to be easy for you to deal with, or ever move on from."
The hearing was told that Noe was born to Nicole Deutsch and Brett Tomsett, of Morden, south London, by emergency caesarean section on September 22, 2009.
He had an exomphalos (an abdominal abnormality), and a bronchomalacia, or collapsed airway from the windpipe to the lung, from birth.
He was admitted to the hospital on February 25 with respiratory distress.
He became more unwell on March 16 and 17 and was found to have the adenovirus.
His condition deteriorated and he died at 5.10am on March 21.
Cause of death was given as adenoviral pneumonia but the exomphalos and bronchomalacia were also listed as factors.
Dr Marian Malone, who conducted the post-mortem examination, told the inquest: "This baby boy had numerous severe problems."
A statement was read out from GP Jerome Jephcott which said: "He was born with multiple problems which ultimately became insurmountable. I can only pay tribute to the devotion, care and love shown by his parents."
Dr Martin Grey, a consultant paediatrician at the hospital, said doctors were concerned that Noe had acquired the virus on the ward and asked the medical directors to investigate this potential cross-infection.
"Given that the patient next door had adenovirus, that may have been the source of the infection," he said.
"We can hypothesise that is the most probable solution, but we can't prove it."
He said it was most likely to have been spread by hand contamination and he had attended to Noe at least once without washing his hands, such was the "precipitous" nature of the sudden breathing difficulties he had.
Colleague Dr Jonathan Round said the hospital had looked at its infection control measures.
A study showed that 96% of potential situations were carefully managed. "That's 4% too low, but in a busy unit, that's a reasonable figure."
The doctors had been dealing with danger of cardiac arrest with Noe.
"Proper handwashing does take 30 seconds, to do properly, dry your hands, put on a gown, that's a minute, that's a long time in the context of cardiac arrest."
He said there was no evidence that even if this was done, it completely eliminated the risk.
"We are humans and carry viruses around with us."
Noe's father Brett, a 38-year-old software project manager from South Africa, said after the hearing that he believed the general treatment of the patient next door was the reason Noe got the virus.
"Noe had started in a cubicle and was moved out of it. We wanted him to be in a cubicle," he said.
"I think the virus could have been spread to him by a nurse, or a patient or a visitor."
He added: "I think there was long-term failure in their care of Noe. The general approach of the hospital was chaotic and disorganised.
"I would like someone to take a whip to it and change the system. A scrape on the knee gets treated the same way as a complex child case."
Ms Deutsch, a 31-year-old journalist from Germany, said: "We kept waiting for tests to happen. Everything was taking so long."
A spokeswoman for St George's Healthcare NHS Trust said later: "Our sympathies go to the family at this difficult time.
"In delivering a verdict of death by natural causes, the coroner said that Noe Tomsett had received excellent care in St George's paediatric intensive care unit."Reuse content

amazing food and drinks everyone who loves frozen margaritas must try one from here!
02/02/2010Provided by Citysearch -
I recommend you start with a margarita at this place. You may want to try the bean dip. The food is great, from a simple cheeseburger and bean dip to more spicy dishes. They have pretty much every tequila you can imagine. The bartenders are fun and no other place on the UWS can replicate their local feel.

Here I am again. I Looked over other reviews from restaurants in the area first. Either you guys up here in NY are a really tough crowd, or there just aren't that many good chinese restaurants in the area. In desparation, I went back to Santa Fe for the Grilled Chicken Quesadila.
I just wasn't that hungry, although the special for the night really tugged at me. I'm glad I didn't order an entree. The quesadilla, as an appetizer, was a full meal for me. The tortilla was perfectly cooked, with a light, buttery taste. There was just the right amount of diced chicken and cheese, and some other ingredients I could stop long enough to identify, to make it perfect. It had a kick, but a easy one. On top, there was a nice corn and black bean relish and lettuce shavings that I finished up with a fork at the end.
Of course, when I sat down, they immediately served the complimentary salsa & chips. They served so quickly that there was plenty of salsa left for the quesadilla, although, if two people had been eating it, I'm sure it would have been history. If that happens to you, ask for more.
There was sill a lively crowd at the bar again tonight. Everyone seemed happy and engaged. If you live in the area, you might want to check it out at happy hour. A nice end to the day with neighbors.
On the down side, the service tonight wasn't as good as last night. There seemed to be a lot of activity back in the dining section and I only saw 2 waiters, so maybe they were stretched a bit thin. I did sit in the bar area again, and I wasn't in a hurry. I guess I was spoiled last on my previous experience. Last night I had a lovely young woman wait on me. She was very attentive and very nice. Tonight, I had a young man wait on me. Not so good. I sat for while with the menus, waiting to order my Red Oak Merlot, when the bartender, who was very busy, noticed me. He came right over, took my order, and I had my wine in no time. By the way, it was very good.
As a side note, there is a TV in the bar. They had it on Jeopardy. I watched it. I'm not sure what that says, but maybe I'm getting old.

I was staying just down 71st from this incredible NYC gem. I love NYC. I love this part of the city. Now I love this restaurant.
I was just up from DC for a few days and staying at the Comfort Inn Central Park West on the other side of the block. While out foraging, I stopped by. On a whim, I ordered the Chipolte Chicken. I really didn't think I could finish, but there's a frig in the room. I figured maybe a light lunch. Wrong......I ate the whole thing. I ate the incredibly good salsa and chips offered free of charge. The salsa had just the right amount of cilantro....not too much like most restaurants do...but enough to be great. I then ate the entire entree. The chicken appeared to have been marinated in chipolte peppers, grilled, cubed, and served in 2 wrapped floured tortillas. Great flavor but not overwhelming. It was served with refried beans, very respectible, spinach lightly sauted in garlic, and rice, very, very good.
Honestly, I didn't have room for desert, but I have to go back. I want to try their grilled chicken quesadilla. It's got to be good.
For those of you who care, the restaurant was clean, well decorated and lively. There was a good sized, fun loving crowd at the bar watching the Yankees playoffs. They have a quiet dining section in the back for those who want something quiet (or romantic). tI think you would enjoy the food and the experience. I did.

A friend of mine recommended I try this place because I love Mexican food. I have the say that the margaritas were amazing. I had the house margarita and it had to have been the best I have ever tasted. Apparently they just hired a new chef who totally changed the menu, and there were even some delicious sounding specials. I ordered the crab cakes, which were recommended to me by my waitress. She said that they are some of the best she's had, and she's from Maryland. As soon as she said that I knew I had to try them, and she was not lying. They were amazing. My boyfriend ordered the burger which was also really yummy and juicy (even though I thought it was strange it came on an english muffin instead of a bun). The waitress also recommended the flan for dessert, and again, she gave us a great recommendation. I don't usually like flan, but this one was so creamy and flavorful, and had great carmalization. I definitely recommend giving this place a try. You won't be disappointed. I think the next time I eat here I will try one of the specials.

This place has been around for years and except for the drinks, I have always felt that the food belonged in 1980. Needles to say, I was shocked when they started giving out ""tastings"" at the bar one night.
The bartender told me that they had just hired a Chef for the first time !
Last week, a friend and I decided to try the restaurant for dinner. I was disappointed to find the same old menu, but delighted when my Waiter started to recite SPECIALS ! There were 2 and they both sounded great.
I had a Tuna with a lovely, slightly spicy seafood rice rice. It looked beautiful AND tasted AMAZING. I hope this is a new beginning for this place because now I will have a reason to go for more than the drinks.

Santa Fe has to be one of the best values in top level Southwestern cuisine in the city. Tucked away on 71st Street right off of Columbus Avenue, it might not look impressive on the outside. But inside, the food is always wonderful while not being too trendy, the Margaritas are powerful and the service attentive and friendly without being overbearing. While the prices make it a treat you can enjoy again and again without guilt.

In Defense Of The "Most Desolate, Despairing" Show On Television
The most recent episode of The Leftovers has some critics quitting the show. But here's why two BuzzFeed staffers are still riveted.
The most recent episode of HBO's The Leftovers began with a particularly horrific murder. It was so brutal, in fact, it lead Entertainment Weekly's Melissa Maerz to pen a piece titled "Enough, already: Why I'm quitting 'The Leftovers.'"
"I don't mean to complain that The Leftovers is too sad. My favorite shows of last year were all fairly dark. But The Leftovers doesn't earn its sadness," she wrote of the series' fifth episode, which centers on the inhabitants of a small town three years after the world experiences a rapture in which 2% of the population disappears. "Brutally killing characters who haven't earned our grief can feel borderline exploitative. It turns your attention away from the human being, and allows you to be dazzled by the sheer salaciousness of the murder." Eventually, she concluded, "For me, The Leftovers is too much of an endurance test."
The series — co-created by former Lost showrunner Damon Lindelof and Tom Perrotta, the author of the book upon which the series is based — has gotten similar feedback since it screened for critics in January. "The Leftovers is all bleakness all the time," Vulture's Matt Zoller Seitz wrote. "Parts of it feel as though the show is emotionally blackmailing you into watching: What, don't you care about these poor, miserable people? Well, go ahead and change the channel then, you monster." John Lopez at Grantland called the series the "prestige television equivalent of a cilice" and Todd VanDerWerff of The A.V. Club said it was "some of the most desolate, despairing television on air."
But the physical brutality of The Leftovers' fifth episode seems on par with the violence we've seen on similar cable fare, from Game of Thrones to Breaking Bad, and it's not even the show's speciality. Instead, The Leftovers offers emotional torture and that's perhaps what some critics and audience members have most struggled with.
Below, BuzzFeed's deputy entertainment editor, Jaimie Etkin, and film critic, Alison Willmore — who was previously IndieWire's television critic — both fans of The Leftovers, discuss why the series has been shunned for capturing the pain of loss and mourning, while other television brutality gets a pass.
Alison Willmore: So I'll confess — when The Leftovers premiered, I was actually taken by surprise by the apparent consensus that it's a gruelingly depressing show. I sure as hell wouldn't describe it as cheerful, though it's sometimes darkly funny, but watching the first few episodes handed out to the press, I honestly didn't think it was any grimmer than so many other series, cable or otherwise, that are currently on TV.
"Bleak" has pretty much become the default mode of the quality drama, from Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead's repeated killing off of major characters to the loneliness and quietly self-destructive tendencies of the folks on Mad Men. Then there are all those shows that use murder as their narrative engine — like True Detective, The Bridge, and The Killing. Death or thoughts about it are a constant in so much of our critically acclaimed TV, to the point where it can feel numbing, all those corpses like so much sad set dressing.
One of the things I like about The Leftovers is that it tries to do something that most of those shows, despite their body counts, don't have time for. It deals with grief and what life is like in the wake of something terrible instead of as it's happening. The Leftovers is set three years after The Sudden Departure, and everyone's dealing with it in different ways, at different paces. Jaimie, do you think this process is somehow harder for people to watch than actual violence?
Jaimie Etkin: I absolutely do. This week's episode aside (RIP Gladys), The Leftovers is largely not a violent show — save for the dogs, and I'm not discounting those scenes, because my heart is actually aching as I merely type about them.
But when we watch a graphically violent scene on one of the shows you previously mentioned, we can cringe or partially shield our eyes until it's over. And we have the assurance that it will be over soon. But with The Leftovers, we don't know when (or if) there will be relief for us as viewers and for those suffering in Mapleton.
I think it's more challenging to watch someone grapple with emotional pain rather than the physical, and with many cable dramas, the most violent scenes come at the end of the episode (oh hai, Red Wedding), and then when the series picks up the following week, we've missed most of the grieving that comes along with those scenes.
On The Leftovers, we have no choice but to sit along with the Garveys and the rest of the Mapleton folk as they struggle years later to come to terms with the loss that resulted from this supernatural-y event that wasn't exactly violent, but was certainly horrific. What's so interesting to me about the show is that the entire series is based on this rapture that we, as the audience, much like the people of Mapleton, will probably never get an explanation about. And I'm OK with that, because that's not what this show is about. It's actually the anti-Lost in that regard. We're not waiting for answers because we know we'll never get them. And that's reality.
AW: Yes, I love that there's no rhyme or reason to the mass disappearance — that it included solid citizens and criminals, that babies vanished and so did Gary Busey, and that there's that one poor woman whose entire family is gone, leaving her alone, the unfortunate local figurehead for everyone left behind. It's a broad-spectrum trauma that defies any easy read, and I'm also very on board with it being left without explanation. There are moments that recall 9/11, but it's bigger and stranger and more global than that. There's no one to even begin pointing fingers at, which accounts for the apparently many crazy-looking cults that have sprung up since the event, as people look for answers or meaning.
I agree that emotional pain is tougher to take in than physical, but I do feel like TV can fall into the habit of depicting one without the other. As you've pointed out, even carnage-heavy Game of Thrones tends to leave its major scenes of violence to the end of episodes, and its characters rarely have the luxury of time or freedom to deal with how they make them feel — whereas The Leftovers is all about that, and about the different ways people try to move on (or refuse to, in the case of the Guilty Remnant).
It's about rebuilding, as tough as it may be, and how the difficulties of the moment also blend together with the everyday problems people have. That's something that really comes through with Jill (Margaret Qualley), who's reeling from her mom leaving to become a member of the GR, but who's also just acting out in a lot of shitty, moody, totally normal teenage ways.
JE: I think Jill is one of the most interesting characters on the show. The scene in Episode 1 with her and Aimee (fabulously played by Emily Meade) playing that game at a party was an incredibly telling moment, perhaps more than any others, in depicting just how much the world had stayed the same after the rapture, but had changed in seemingly slight but meaningful ways. In post-10/14 Mapleton, high schoolers play a hybrid game of Truth or Dare and Spin the Bottle that includes options like "choke" and "burn" in addition to "kiss" and "hug." It's familiar, but also foreign to teenage life. It quickly becomes apparent that Jill wants to be able to run with the burning-and-choking crowd, one Aimee is a part of without thinking. But Jill is still struggling with what happened, and mourning the emotional and somewhat physical loss of her mother Laurie (Amy Brenneman), or at least the mother she'd known prior to The Event.
For as many times as this show is called "bleak," Jill's relationship with Laurie actually gives me the most hope. When she gives Laurie a lighter engraved with the words "Don't forget me" for Christmas, her mother initially throws it in the gutter, something the GR would want her to do. But in the middle of the night, she goes back to get it, showing that she isn't able to fully turn off her emotions and connections to her family, even though this is a woman who we haven't heard speak in five episodes. I don't think that moment was intended to give viewers a false sense of promise in what's obviously a very dark world; it just exists to show us how complex things are and how conflicted Laurie is in her situation. And again, I think that's just honest of the spectrum of human emotion. Let's talk about the GR, though. This episode gave us more insight than we previously had. Do you think we're supposed to be able to see them as more human and relatable now? And do you think our entry into that was a manipulative one?
AW: When the series began, I saw the GR as a kind of nihilist answer to the Westboro Baptist Church, a uniform and extremely unsympathetic group of IRL trolls showing up to rain on the parade of everyone attempting to commemorate their missing loved ones. They were amusing — I still think the chain-smoking as a way to emphasize how few fucks you give about your life is a nice little visual joke — but they also felt like smug jerks, holding up a sign saying "stop wasting your breath" outside the Heroes Day event, the Leftovers equivalent to picketing a funeral.
I wouldn't call it manipulative to portray them in this way, because it's clearly how most of the town sees them, as annoying downers at best or possible terrorists at worst. But Episode 5 ("Gladys") did a lot to change my view on them, first by showing the title character's horrific death by stoning, in which she broke character to beg for her life, and then by depicting how little compassion the rest of the Mapleton residents have for the woman because of her affiliation — those guys laughing over her body flopping off the tree. For them, the GR is just one brainwashed mass, but the members don't see each other that way. Patti (Ann Dowd) showed herself to be fiercely protective of the people she's been leading, even giving Laurie a time-out to see if she really wants to keep going.
The episode convinced me that, as callous as the GR's actions look on the outside, those on the inside sincerely believe in their importance, and haven't always had an easy time making the sacrifices the group demands. And while I think we'd both agree the show isn't perfect (I still have no idea what's going on with Chris Zylka and that whole other cult), its ability to make you feel empathy for characters who are initially so off-putting is something it does so very well.
JE: Ha! I also don't have a blessed clue what's going on with Chris Zylka's storyline (in fact, I often forget his name) and don't appreciate that a substantial part of it thus far involved him fighting a naked man.
Moving on, though: It's interesting to me that you read Patti's pancake sit-down with Laurie as an act of protection and genuine concern. I actually saw it more as a test of Laurie's loyalty to the GR, but it's hard to discern because we don't really know what Patti's motivation is or anything about Patti pre-GR, for that matter. But I trust that the show will find a way to provide that insight. After all, Episode 3 ("Two Boats and a Helicopter") was an excellent character study of Rev. Matt Jamison (Christopher Eccleston), and I wish the show would've continued with that format.
It would've been interesting if "Gladys" followed a similar suit and the writers allowed us to actually see more of what Patti instead told Laurie about that character at the diner. But I still don't think The Leftovers is, as Maerz wrote on EW, exploiting viewers by "brutally killing characters who haven't earned our grief" and asking us "to be dazzled by the sheer salaciousness of the murder." Would viewers rather have seen Laurie go through that after all they've invested in that character? Or Liv Tyler's GR newbie Meg?
Besides, nothing was dazzling about the way Gladys died. It was painful to listen to and to watch (which I barely did, I have to say). And, like you said, the fact that Gladys "broke" and pleaded for her life when she'd been smoking her way into the grave and trying to help others see the futility of life was particularly poignant. It's a storyline like that where The Leftovers truly excels in its message, not to make its viewers feel hopeless about the complex world in which the show is set, but to depict what makes people tick, break, crack, and reject the things they once held firm.

Coronation Bridge
The Coronation Bridge across the Teetsa river is over 100 years old and marks the start of the road to Butan from Siliguri. The river canyon is a beautiful and fascinating drive. But the road is quite narrow and there is heavy and impatient traffic so it is not the road for the faint of heart. We were very grateful...
