Polar Care Question
Hi all,
We have to little Polar Care ice chest for our patients, which are very nice, but the ice melts too fast! We are constantly having to refill them.... any suggestions???? (Our ice machine puts out very fine ice... I think that is the main problem.) Any advice? I don't think they will get another ice machine for us .... they just bought the one we have.

I believe you need to fill with ice to the mark and then fill to the next line with water. I hope I'm thinking about the right model here. Keep it above the wound. I liked to keep mine on the counter next to the lavatory and when getting I ce using a large paper grocery bag. That way you can dump, ice and water with out needing to move anything.Sep 21, '06Occupation: Ortho Nurse Joined: May '05; Posts: 17; Likes: 4Ive had patients tell me that when they got home with this device (sometimes they can rent them) the larger ice cubes did make a difference in how long it kept cold. Usually we have to fill them twice a shift; they're just a big pain in the neck. Now, our ice orders are 20 to 30 minutes of ice packs four times a day, esp. before and after therapy (like for Total Joints) It ends up we use ice more often than that, however. We've switched to the refrezeable bags, and have a dedicated freezer for them (cleaned with the spray that kills all life forms) They're pricey, and we'd keep losing them in the laundry (or pts. took them). Now our sewing dept. made us bright orange covers for them, which was fun to get and use. we wash the bags in the rehab's washer and dryer. Sometimes when we have to put one of our "busy" confused patients in a w/c by the desk, we give them the job of folding them!Sep 25, '06Specialty: Nursing assistant ; Joined: Jan '05; Posts: 1,476; Likes: 110Have an idea, might be possible. How bout freezing a block of ice slightly smaller than the cooler (insert a cylinder larger than the cylinder in the middle of the polar care thingey) drop that baby in, add water and wa la! Maybe we could patent some kind of polarcarecustumdesignedicecubetray.....Nov 8, '06Occupation: Full-time FNP student Specialty: 5 year(s) of experience in Cancer research/ Orthopedics/ Surgery ; Joined: May '06; Posts: 64; Likes: 10I just thought about how when you make home-made ice cream, they tell you to add salt to keep the ice more cold. It supposedly lowers the temperature. I wonder if that would work?
On secondhand, don't they tell you to sprinkle salt on the snow up north to melt it? I'm confused!Nov 9, '06Occupation: Registered Nurse/Public Health Nurse Specialty: 15 year(s) of experience ; Joined: Feb '03; Posts: 96; Likes: 10In my experience with Polar Cares...we used a lot in the surgery center that I worked at, was that they typically needed to have new ice and water at least every six hours. We always instructed our patients to expect that and that normal icemachines at home don't usually keep up so it was important to have extra ice on hand. I feel that they by far are better way of assisting with pain control and inflammation than ice bags ever could do.

Inclusive Talent Management
How Business can Thrive in an Age of Diversity
Published in July 2016. Organisations traditionally have had a clear distinction between their policies on diversity and inclusion and their talent management. The main driving force behind diversity and inclusion has been being seen to be a good employer, to be able to make claims in the annual report and to feel as though a positive contribution is being made to society. On the other hand, talent management activities have been driven by a real business need to ensure that the organization has the right people with the right skills in the right place to drive operational success. Inclusive Talent Management aligns talent management and diversity and inclusion, offering a fresh perspective on why the current distinction between them needs to disappear.
Featuring case studies from internationally recognised brands such as Goldman Sachs, Unilever, KPMG, Hitachi, Oxfam and the NHS, Inclusive Talent Management shows that to achieve business objectives and gain the competitive advantage, it is imperative that organisations take an inclusive approach.

The Inclusion Imperative
How Real Inclusion Creates Better Business and Builds Better Societies
Published in February 2014 The Inclusion Imperative showcases the inspiring commitment to inclusion the London Olympic and Paralympic Games' organizing committee espoused. In it, Stephen details the techniques and frameworks that enabled it to truly deliver a 'Games for everyone' at London 2012.
"I believe The Inclusion Imperative constitutes the best argument to convince sceptics that real diversity and inclusion can deliver more engaged employees and customers, improved employee recruitment and retention, increase productivity and better group decision-making processes. Real inclusion saves money and improves efficiency in the systems of an organisation."
(Stephen Frost)

The most frequently requested article from the old Hogwarts Professor site after "Obviously Dumbledore is not Jesus" has been this piece on the scandalous use of the Pope by Canadian Harry Haters and Culture Warriors the day before Half-Blood Prince was released. I re-print it now in anticipation of similar shameful efforts in the third week of July this year. Harry Potter is a phenomenon those who style themselves latter-day Savonarolas almost certainly will not let pass without a volley and flourish."Pope Opposes Harry Potter"? Hardly.Michael O'Brien and the Kuby Letters: Rita Skeeter covers the VaticanA Time Line and Commentary on the Kuby Letters, supposedly written by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (now Pope Benedict XVI), on the subject of the Harry Potter novels written by Joanne Rowling.February, 2003:The story begins at the press conference releasing the Pontifical Council on Culture and Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue's of "Vatican statement on New Age Religions' Jesus Christ: The Bearer of the Water of Life (A Christian Reflection on the "New Age").Fr. Peter Fleetwood at the Press Conference for this document was asked about Harry Potter. In an interview 15 July 2005 on Vatican Radio Fr. Peter said that, at the 2003 Press Conference he had said only that (1) the books reflect Rowling's Christian upbringing and study of myth and (2) that the books are about good triumphing over evil. This was widely reported and interpreted as a Vatican endorsement or "closet imprimatur" for the Potter books.Michael O'Brien, Canadian painter and self-described "combat soldier in the culture war," has said about this event:"In short, it was the superficial personal opinion of a man who may or may not have read the books. That the media turned this into a major world-class story (and at the same time largely ignored the reason for the conference, the release of the Vatican's teachings on the New Age movement) is so blatant a violation of journalistic standards that one cannot help but wonder over it."March, 2003:In March 2003. a German sociologist and self-educated Catholic apologist sent a copy of her Harry Potter book to then Cardinal Ratzinger asking for his endorsement. She received this response (English translation by LifeSiteNews.com):Joseph Cardinal RatzingerVatican CityMarch 7, 2003Esteemed and dear Ms. Kuby!Many thanks for your kind letter of February 20th and the informative book which you sent me in the same mail. It is good, that you enlighten people about Harry Potter, because those are subtle seductions, which act unnoticed and by this deeply distort Christianity in the soul, before it can grow properly.I would like to suggest that you write to Mr. Peter Fleetwood, (Pontifical Council of Culture, Piazza S. Calisto 16, I00153 Rome) directly and to send him your book.Sincere Greetings and Blessings,+ Joseph Cardinal RatzingerMs. Kuby did send the book to Fr. Peter Fleetwood as instructed by then Cardinal Ratzinger and received a four page response explaining where he thought she may have misunderstood or read too much into the books. He said he never heard back from her.Ms. Kuby did write the Cardinal again, asking permission to use his book blurb and received this response (translation again from LifeSiteNews.com):Joseph Cardinal RatzingerVatican CityMay 27, 2003Esteemed and dear Ms. Kuby,Somehow your letter got buried in the large pile of name-day, birthday and Easter mail. Finally this pile is taken care of, so that I can gladly allow you to refer to my judgment about Harry Potter.Sincere Greetings and Blessings,+ Joseph Cardinal RatzingerThe Cardinal's sentence was published on the book which was reviewed in Germany and largely dismissed. As German Catholic priest and literature critic Fr. Karl Leisner pointed out at the time and again recently, and as Fr. Fleetwood has said he wrote to her in response to then Cardinal Ratzinger's request that she write to him, Ms. Kuby is neither a careful reader nor a competent critic, however admirable her intentions.April, 2005:The matter rested there until Cardinal Ratzinger's elevation to the Papacy the next spring. Ms. Kuby then shared her letters supposedly from the new Pope about Harry Potter again with the Press. This made a "big splash" in the papers and Harry Potter fan sites at the end of April, 2005.There was very little said about this report after the announcement in April, other than notices being made that the letters were (1) from Cardinal Ratzinger writing a book blurb for a friend, not from the newly elevated Pope speaking ex cathedra and (2) that it was very unlikely that then Cardinal Ratzinger had read either the book by Ms. Kuby or the Harry Potter books. The story died a natural death.June 27/July 13, 2005:In late June and then again three days before the release of the sixth Harry Potter novel, a small Catholic news service that reports pro-life stories located in Combermere, Ontario, Canada, releases a story with the headline "Pope Opposes Harry Potter Novels" with the location of the news release being given as "Rimsting, Germany." The articles feature comments by Catholic novelist Michael O'Brien, also, remarkably, of the small town Combermere, Ontario, Canada. He says in this piece:"This discernment on the part of Benedict XVI reveals the Holy Father's depth and wide ranging gifts of spiritual discernment." O'Brien, author of a book dealing with fantasy literature for children added, "it is consistent with many of the statements he's been making since his election to the Chair of Peter, indeed for the past 20 years - a probing accurate read of the massing spiritual warfare that is moving to a new level of struggle in western civilization. He is a man in whom a prodigious intellect is integrated with great spiritual gifts. He is the father of the universal church and we would do well to listen to him."The timing of this article and the remarkably deceptive headline caused the firestorm one would expect. Catholics around the world were led to believe by newspapers (that picked up this story and headline from a news-scanner called Drudge) that their Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI, had weighed in on this subject. Mr. O'Brien appeared on a CNN news program Friday, 15 July, which program belittled his position but reported without qualification the LifeSiteNews.com story about the Pope. O'Brien proclaimed this a victory on his website, saying:The great grace of Friday's CNN show was that the Holy Father's letter regarding the Potter series was read, even in the midst of everything working against it.The delight of staffers in the spread of their story from LifeSiteNews.com is evident in this posting on a Catholic web site by "Hilary" on July 13th:I'm very proud to say that was us. LifeSite has been hammering at Harry Potter for years and we got the letters by contacting the woman presonally. Drudge picked it up this morning and we rushed to get the graphics off the story before the tidal wave hit us and crashed the site, which has happened the couple of other times we have been picked up by Drudge. He's really good at crediting us and as also always happens, the first few stories who pick it up from Drudge also credit us, but by the time the Washington Post gets it and it rolls back to Canada's National Post, we have dropped off the radar. But it seems to be better this time, John Henry got a call from the London Times this morning, which is something because we are six hours ahead of them.But you should hear the neo-catholics screeching at us! Every time we go after Harry the Weigelites come after us with knives sharpened. They really REALLY hate to have their complacent little tea party with The World disturbed by difficult truths hey?I should enjoy it less I suppose…but that's whaty I've got a spiritual director for I guess.But is this letter from Cardinal Ratzinger actually from Cardinal Ratzinger? Has it been translated verbatim or in a way that sensationalizes and misrepresents what the Cardinal or the curia bureaucrat who wrote it has said? And what is the Vatican position on Harry Potter, if any?The Vatican was, of course, immediately besieged by requests for confirmation or denial of the story with the headline "Pope Opposes Harry Potter." The Pope and his secretary were at the Pope's retreat villa in the Northern Italian Alps so there was no response from Pope Benedict XVI. Vatican Radio, however, "the Voice of the Pope," on July 15, two days after this report was re-released from Michael O'Brien's hometown, featured an interview with Fr. Peter Fleetwood about the Kuby letters. The Catholic News Service, the most reputable source of news for Catholics, also reported on the "New attention given to 2003 Cardinal Ratzinger letter on Harry Potter."In the interview, Fr. Fleetwood makes it clear he doubts the letters were written by the Cardinal:I was sent a letter from a lady in Germany who claimed to have written to the then-Cardinal Ratzinger, saying that she thought Harry Potter was a bad thing. And the letter back, which I suspect was written by an assistant of the then-Cardinal Ratzinger in his office, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, suggested that there was a subtle seduction in the books. What that subtle seduction was, was not specified, which makes me think it was a generic answer. And she had written a book on these subjects and so the Cardinal's signature was at the bottom of the letter, suggesting she should send me the book. She sent me the book, and I found it a very unsatisfactory book.So unsatisfactory was the book that he felt obliged to send her a four page letter detailing the errors and misunderstandings in it. Ms. Kuby, Mr. O'Brien, and LifeSiteNews.com make no mention of this exchange and Ms. Kuby's failure to heed or even respond to a letter sent from an official of the Pontifical Council of Culture who has read the books.As Fr. Fleetwood points out, the wording in the German is generic and "subtle seductions" does not point to Harry Potter the way the LifeSiteNews.com translation presents it. The German language version in fact reads more like a description of poisons that don't allow plants to grow normally in the soil. It congratulates the author for being watchful for such subtle seductions in even children's books but does not say that Harry Potter is one of these.As the Catholic News Service report makes clear, "Cardinal Ratzinger did not say he had read any of the Harry Potter books." His letter did, however, direct the author to a Pontifical Office that dealt with these matters and to a person that had read the books, whose guidance and instruction Ms. Kuby has ignored and LifeSiteNews.com neglects to mention.The Vatican position, if there is one, seems to be the one expressed by Fr. Peter Fleetwood on Vatican Radio. As reported by Catholic News Service and available verbatim on line :The most appropriate way to Judge Harry Potter is not on the basis of theology, but according to the criteria of children's literature and whether children will read the book willingly.This interview and reports are the only statements made (1) by a legitimate Catholic official (2) speaking directly to the subjects of Harry Potter and the Kuby letters (3) from a Vatican news service.How then are we to understand the Kuby letters?I think the common sense conclusion but sad fact of the matter is that a provincial Catholic zealot group has exploited the Pope and Catholic feeling for their Holy Father for their own gain. "Pope Opposes Harry Potter" Hardly. The new Pope did not write these letters as Pontiff, it is doubtful then Cardinal Ratzinger wrote courtesy book blurbs, and, if he did write these letters, they don't say what LifeSite News and Mr. O'Brien say they do. A better and more accurate headline would have been: "Vatican office sends polite thank you to frenetic Catholic Harry-Hater."Mr. O'Brien decried the "superficial personal opinion of a man who may or may not have read the books" when speaking about a Vatican official and Englishman who certainly had read the novels and spoke in a Pontifical Office charged with knowing about such things. It is ironic and hypocritical that he then says about then Cardinal Ratzinger, a German in an office with responsibilities not stretching to children's literature and who almost certainly has not read the Potter novels, that "this discernment on the part of Benedict XVI reveals the Holy Father's depth and wide ranging gifts of spiritual discernment" and that "he is the father of the universal church and we would do well to listen to him."O'Brien and LifeSiteNews.com have exploited the Pope and made him into something of a hand puppet to say the things they want him to say. Anything from the Vatican archives or waste bins that can support the Combemere, Ontario, position is "spiritual discernment." Explicit correction, on the other hand, from Vatican offices charged with such matters are neglected or misrepresented."Star Chamber" and "Super-Catholics" are here evidently "Cafeteria Catholics," picking and choosing what they like from the Vatican menu.The Kuby letters are best understood as letters from a curia official writing a polite book blurb and thanking her for the kindness of sending the Cardinal a book. As Mark Shea has written, "the note was obviously about as doctrinal as a Papal handshake in a giant crowd." The re-release of these letters by a Catholic artist and news service located in a provincial Canadian town on the eve of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince's publication, a re-release four months after the story had broken, speaks to the type of media irresponsibility decried by O'Brien and satirized by Joanne Rowling in the Harry Potter novels. Mr. O'Brien and LifeSiteNews.com, in fact, resemble with disarming likeness The Daily Prophet and reporter Rita Skeeter.The only difference is, sadly, the satirical characters and media in the Potter novels could never have dragged down the faith of millions and diminished both a Pope's reputation and "spiritual capital" for their personal gain. For a sober Catholic's reflections on the Kuby letters and Harry Potter books, please read acclaimed Catholic novelist Regina Doman's essay at the Zossima Press home page.And please remember the next time you see Michael O'Brien on CNN or a quotation or story from LifeSiteNews.com that these provincial Canadian Catholics have their private agenda for you, the Pope, and faith and culture.

Harry Potter: The Pope Does Not Have an Opinion
4 comments:
Nathan, I have read the Potter books. All of them. I could leave the magic aside and tell you other reasons why it is a bad influence for children. Harry is constantly lying and cheating, on occasions he steals. His anger is uncontrollable. Those who hold on to rules are belittled. Dumbledore is fine with harry breaking the rules. In the Lord of the Rings this is not so. You read it or I read it we know it is wrong. But children reading a book where the hero cheats, lies, steals and has angry bouts and that is looked on as ok, that does affected children. Tolkien never tolerated that. When Pipen broke the rules he was in trouble. Not so with the potter stuff. These have a bad message for our kids. The privileged don't have to follow the order of things because they are the hero. The end justifies the means in potter. A bad way to live. Lying in potter is an example that children will be confused by. Your confirmation teacher.

Thanks. Again, I have only read the first book. I would like to read them all someday. I can easily believe that they could be a bad influence on children and that Harry may not be the best role model. My main point here is to question the claim about Ratzinger/Benedict which seems to me to be dubious at best.
I think the argument against the Potter books as bad role model is better than the "demonic" one. But that's from the little I've read about them. My main point was rather narrow concerning Benedict.

Hello Nathan,
I like what you wrote about the Benedict writings. The Truth is important even when were fighting evil. Never argue evil with a lie. I always argue the Harry thing from the lies and usually not the witchcraft. Everybody hates to be lied to. So I raise those points more then the witchcraft. By the the way Nathan the movies don't bring out the most of the book points, so don't watch the movies to decide on the books. Just like the peter Jackson LOTR and the real book stuff. Keep up the good work Nathan. It was good to see you. Your confirmation teacher.

Everybody hates to be lied to, even and especially children. If these books lie to children about reality and the deepest sources of what it is to be human, then they are dangerous. Hopefully I'll get around to reading them soon. It's so rare that I see the movies before reading the books! I'm almost embarrassed to admit it.

Broadwoods Map (Map Mania)
Many thanks for downloading the mod.
Broadwoods is a map based on the South West of England. It has 14 buyable fields, which are medium to small sized, some flat and some on hills. Grass is the main crop at Broadwoods to provide silage for the dairy enterprise, however wheat, barley, maize, potatoes, sugar beet and oilseed rape can all be grown and sold. Hedges can also be cut. Crops, wool, bales, and eggs can all be sold at the farm shop area. This is also where fuel, seeds, fertiliser and machines can be purchased. Crops can also be sold at the dairy.
Ive made several new models for this map. You are welcome to use these map objects in your own maps, however a mention in the credits would be nice.

The ghostly glow of an evening mist dragging like a dying thing across the barren street that echoes with the lonely fallen steps of a solitary morsel. The melodic clacks give away a rising tension as their tempo increases; the urgency in the stride reflecting the racing of their pulse. A hushed murmur drifts by like a lingering thought—the already phantom memory of its call burning into every crevice of their terror-soaked mind—and a shadow washes over the towering and foreboding walls of the nearby building; the series of structures lining the night-bathed city quickly becoming a cage of iron and stone that closes in with every panicked breath. From behind: a chuckle—-the unmistakable tune of a predator's victory made all the more dreadful coming from an all-too-human mouth. Overcome with fear, the once-lone wanderer makes a mad-dash away from the voice, ignoring the ache of exertion and the burning of oxygen-starved lungs as they whimper and fight to form the words to call for help. Despite the effort, the futility of the attempt is made evident as the shadow falls upon them—consuming them in a whirlwind of darkness and enveloping them in a hungry abyss—and they finally find voice enough to shriek as the glow of inhuman eyes narrow on their own and a pair of glistening and dripping gore-stained fangs break past the veil.
Though the legends and myths that have existed since the dawning of human civilization always point towards the certain suffering and death of their victims, the popularity of vampires and creatures tied to their tales have flourished. Beyond that, the legends have warped and evolved to take monstrous and demonic beings that were in no way human and (more to the point) attractive in ANY way, shape, or form and turning them into a being of sensuality and beauty that has only served to take an already-compelling icon and add the element of sex and attraction to the mix. Despite the terror associated with the legends and the obvious dangers that such a being could present to our kind, the world's collective obsession with vampiric beings has escalated to points that define genres of media entertainment, motivate fashion and lifestyles, and even shape entire groups and communities.
But none of this actually boils down to the "WHY" of the phenomenon. What is it about these beings that so aggressively draws us in and sinks its metaphorical fangs into our jugulars and refuses to release.
Why are we so inclined to be fans of the fangs?
Past the inherent and two-dimensional fascination with the powerful and lustful creatures dwells a truth that, ironically enough, defines humanity. We, as people—as weak, soft, terrified, and mortal beings—will forever be compelled to idolize and focus on figures and symbols that our ever-growing minds hope will reveal some secret to their success in living, loving, and liberating themselves from the mundane and redundant. When we're young, we look up to parents, older siblings, fascinating members of the local community, and, of course, the characters we grow up loving that perpetually illustrate strength and integrity in television, movies, books, and comics. We dream and strive for the day when we'll find ourselves free of our youthful weaknesses and be free of doubt and confusion… but that day never comes. Months turn to years and then decades and, as we fall into the ever-famed adulthood that we've dreamt so long would mystically provide us with clarity and understanding of life, the universe and everything we discover we're just as frail and just as oblivious, but now cursed with the capacity to UNDERSTAND just how oblivious.
And so, with no magical age dawning upon us with rays of god-like understanding, we forever leap-frog from idol and icon in an ever-constant-yet-insatiable hope to finally feel that we're greater than we are.
Because, in the end, we're still only human.
Only human!
Our subconscious minds see the futility in the search for that one man or woman who can be a guru to cure us of our limitations, and they turn to the beyond; turn to that which transcends humanity; turn to mythology.
An obsession with our limited longevity and a fear of what lies beyond this life has been a motivator for theory-upon-theory-upon-theory. Death represents an inescapable oblivion—an eternal NOTHING—that eats away at our cores because, when all is said-and-done, "nothing" means EXACTLY that to us: nothing. How does one define something if there's nothing to define? We experience a cornucopia of REAL and TANGIBLE that to imagine nothing—no sight, no sound, no smells or tastes, nothing to feel, and no mind to recognize the void—is an incomprehensible notion. And if the history of mankind has taught us nothing else, it's that we HATE that which we cannot comprehend. We assign titles to everything to convince us we hold power over it and try to define the inner workings of this, that, and everything with a limited knowledge of what it is we're trying to define. And so, in an effort to combat the confusion and fear associated with death, we fabricate alternate realities that exist for us beyond this lifetime; theories of heavens or hells or limbos or hauntings or, rather than living an eternity elsewhere, being born as a new person and starting the cycle anew.
All because death and our impending nothing TERRIFIES us.
Enter the vampire. A being whose existence is defined almost unanimously with immortality; a being that represents no need for fear of what lies beyond. And though this eternity relies on a willingness to destroy the lives of others, the natural need to survive motivates us to take that step. If a building is on fire, the occupants' need to survive outweighs the sympathy of others' needs, and it's an all-too-common event that situations like that find people trampled and trapped so that others have the leverage to survive. Is it really such a stretch to see us as so monstrous as to literally steal the lives of strangers to sustain our own?
And what of those who find themselves at the bottom of the stampede? What of those who find themselves trapped within the inferno because somebody wanted to survive enough to lock away the threat of death with them still at risk? What do you think they would give for a body that doesn't break underfoot or the strength to take down any obstacle?
Enter the vampire. A being whose supernatural abilities make even the most able-bodied star athletes look like a joke in comparison. A being who exists in legends as capable of easily holding their own against armies and able to tear down buildings with their unbreakable claws. A being whose speed and reflexes make them a nearly uncatchable and un-killable force for any who stand in their way. A being who sees the threat of those who intimidate them in their everyday life as nothing more than an insignificant creature; no more dangerous or threatening than a newborn puppy—blind and defenseless and oblivious.
A being greater than man or beast but, at the same time, a enigmatic hybrid of the two.
A being capable of communicating and controlling and even BECOMING the animals that we eagerly and desperately struggle to understand.
A being that is not only unafraid of the darkness, but REVEL in it!
All the limitations and shortcomings of man encompass the strengths and traits of the creatures we idolize, because, at the root of it all, we crave a life that's free of fear and uncertainty.
Vampires are, body and mind and drive, what we can NEVER be, and that limitation—that hunger for a taste of what we'll never have—keeps us coming back for more of the fan(g)tastic creatures.

Is There A Shortage Of Nursing Homes?
As baby boomers approach retirement age and there are less and less nursing homes being opened and more closing, it is concerning if there will be a shortage of these facilities in the next few decades. In 2006, the U.S. Census Bureau reported 78.6 million baby boomers in the U.S., many who will be in their 70's by 2020, only seven short years away. Will there be enough nursing homes to handle the need when this large group requires full time care?
Elderly Numbers Rise, Nursing Homes Diminish
By 2030, 20% of the nations population will be above 65 years of age, compared to only 13% currently. In addition, the number of 85-year olds will be up 50%. However, the number of nursing homes has decreased in the last decade. From 2000-2009, the total number of nursing homes decreased by 9%. There has been a large decrease not only in the total number of homes but on the amount of new construction of these homes. From 2007-2011, new construction of nursing home units decreased by a third. There are several factors that are contributing to the problem:
- Getting financing for new nursing homes is difficult
- Existing homes are out dated; many were built back in the 1960's and need many improvements
- Medicaid payments have been slashed, cutting into profits
Even the housing market has hurt the nursing home industry. Many elderly that would have used equity in their homes to help pay for nursing home care have lost hundreds of thousands of dollars since the 2008 crash. An estimated $8 trillion dollars have been lost in equity, affecting the amount of money many had counted on for retirement. Nursing home care is expensive and with cuts to both retirement income and to Medicare payments, large companies that are in the industry are not running out to build more. Instead, they do what big business does best; cut staff and services and raise prices to ensure that they still make a profit for their stack holders. The average cost for a private nursing home room rose 30% from 2005 to 2011, averaging $77,745 per year. Although there is not currently a shortage in nursing homes, if there is not a change in the system, there may be one in the near future. Even more concerning than the shortage of beds is whether the care in the homes that are full to capacity will be compromised. With many homes already running their facilities consistently understaffed when they are not full, it may get even worse as the beds fill up. As an elder abuse attorneys, we know that the shortage of nursing homes, there also may be a larger shortage in good care for the elderly. Resources:

UMass Wildlife Biology alumnus James E. Cardoza, B.S. '66, M.S.'76, has authored an illustrated book titled "A History of MassWildlife 1866-2012."
Posted: August 24th, 2015
Post Tags: Alumni, Publications
This 334 page, exceedingly well referenced, volume documents the history of the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife from its inception in 1866 as a two-member Board of Commissioners of Fisheries to its present configuration of over 100 staff members responsible for the management and protection of over 400 species of plants and animals and over 200,000 acres in wildlife management areas and lands under conservation easements.
The book was published in a limited bound edition by the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife, 1 Rabbit Hill Road, Westborough, Mass. as it approaches its 150th anniversary. It will soon be available to the public in digital form.

I just wanted to say that I love you guys. :) This week one of the coolest things happened since I entered into the mission and it is all because of love and hard work and patience. (And probably other Christlike attributes, but I like those 3). Our investigator Marcela de Jesus got baptized!! It was so amazing and she has grown SO much. Not going to lie when I say that this week was probably the hardest of my mission because we were not only fighting to program everything and get it all done, but there were unseen forces at work too. There was one point where Marcela did not want to get baptized and Satan almost won. However, it was the Lord´s will that she be baptized, and Marcela had the faith sufficient to fight through it all and enter into the Church of Jesus Christ.
It was almost like a movie to me, watching her struggle, trying to help her and praying a TON. It was super cool. Her son Sebastian baptized her, and he was baptized about a year ago. It was SO cute because he was amazingly happy to baptize her and he has been a ginormous help in answering her questions when we weren´t there. It was super cool too because her whole family came!! We invited her to invite as many people as she could to her baptism and her 2 sons who aren´t members came, along with her husband, also not a member, and a friend that lives close, also not a member!! Marcela asked me to talk and I focused on how Marcela gained a testimony about the gospel throught the Book of Mormon and how her meta now is the temple. She desperately wants to get there, especially to help all her ancestors get baptized too. I love her!! I really feel like her testimony is stronger than the testimony of a lot of members I have known in my life. She reads the scriptures everyday and applies them to her life right away. It is SO cool and she has taught me a lot, especially about enjoying the blessings of the gospel in her life. I can´t imagine how much the Lord has changed her, and it is all because of her love for Him, her hard work and our patience. We simply taught her what she needed to know, and she applied it to her life with the Lord´s help.
It is so cool to see the difference He has made in her life, and it reminds me of when Tanner got baptized too. Tanner change a TON and you could just see the light in his eyes and I just stand in awe that the Lord gave me TWO chances to witness the gospel work in the lives of people that I care about a TON. Also, I also sang for Marcela with Hna. Darrington (my new companion) and we sang If You Could Hie to Kolob, but with the Spanish lyrics, a capella. It was AWESOME, because the Spirit was so strong and I almost cried. Actually I did cry, but only a little tear. I just couldn´t stop smiling and wanting to hug everyone that was there!!
It was also super crazy because we started the service at 5 pm and at about 5;05, President Warne and Hermana Warne walked in and my heart just about stopped. Afterward they told us that they usually choose a random baptism to go to every week and it just happened to be Marcela´s this week. It made me super nervous, but at the same time super grateful to see them and to know that President is concerned with the welfare of the converts here and our welfare. It was definitely and amazing experience.
After the baptism, Marcela didn´t say anything. She just smiled and quietly got dressed and hugged me super tight. It is so cute because she is a tiny lady and I can just engulf her in my monkey arms and we just stayed like that for about 2 minutes in the bathroom. And I will never forget when she bore her testimony afterward. She just talked about Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ and how much they have helped her to change and to make the decision to join the true church. She also talked about the missionaries, us, as if we were angels sent from heaven. (And mom, she told me to thank you and Dad for letting me come here so that we could teach her, and that you two are angels also.) She is so sweet and so amazing and I don´t know if anything could make me happier than to help her to the temple.
So, now that you have read that super long email, I want you to ask yourself what you can do with what you have learned with this experience. The Lord changes people´s lives, especially with those that are humble and need the most changing. Go and find that one friend who you think would never accept the gospel, and share it with them!! You never know, you might see them change and get baptized, and then go on a mission ;D
I love you all, have an amazing week!!

Following the attacks on the World Trade Center, the United States of America entered a state of paranoia. Racial profiling was the key phrase of the Bush era. As terrorist attacks continue around the world, the state of paranoia has become contagious. People can be detained without plausible cause, merely due to genetics.
Racial profiling is a serious problem that needs to be addressed. In the current state of the world, it will be difficult to stop racial profiling against Arabs and others from the Middle East. many people live in constant fear of terrorist attacks, despite how rare they actually are. It is unfair for anyone who looks like they may be from the Middle East (and therefore, possibly Muslim) to have to deal with this type of profiling.
I am a member of gen z, those born between 1995 and today. I cannot even remember the towers going down (although I was alive at that time). Throughout my entire childhood there has been terrorist issues, whether it is from islamic state (or IS, ISIL or whatever its supposed to be called now), Al Qaeda, Boko Haram or the lenant, Issues have arisen. It may be easy for older people to shrug this off, But I do not Know a different world. Especially as gen z has to fix all the boomers issues. Thanks boomers
To say that racial profiling is becoming an epidemic is to imply that it is a disease. There's nothing wrong with profiling of any kind. Everyone profiles on a daily basis, and it simplifies our work. In regards to "racial" profiling specifically: It doesn't make sense to claim that everyone should be an equal suspect regardless of their race, especially when race is a huge indicator of who to suspect.
No, police arresting suspected members of the "Islamist State" (or ISIS) is not a sign that racial profiling is becoming a worldwide epidemic. While racial profiling has long been a problem in the US and to a lesser but not insignificant extent in Western Europe, Germany's actions in response to violent extremism within their borders, is not necessarily racial profiling. As long as race or ethnicity is not the primary reason for the investigation into and detainment of suspect, there is little to no basis for an accusation of racial profiling.

The non-metropolitan district of South Ribble was formed in 1974 as a result of administrative changes wrought by the Local Government Act 1972. It is composed of the Leyland and Walton-le-Dale Districts as well as Preston Rural District and is part of the county of Lancashire. In 2006 Labour and Liberal Democrat councillors that were in power pushed for a move that would see South Ribble merge with Preston City Council and form a unitary authority separate from Lancashire County Council. Councillors from the opposition along with local residents contested the merger, so the councillors that initially fought for the bill were now forced to make a u-turn.
The Boundary Commission for England created a new constituency of Wyre and Preston North, and as a result some of South Ribble's wards were lost. The constituency has moved further south and south-west, and comprises three districts: South Ribble, West Lancashire and Chorley.
Following the 2007 elections, South Ribble saw a Conservative landslide victory. The party now holds 44 out of the 55 seats on the borough council.
The population of the borough is 109,867, comprised mainly of the 98.0% who give their ethnicity as white. The largest ethnic minority group after the white majority is the Indian community, who make up 0.5% of South Ribble's population. The vast majority of the borough is Christian, who make up 84.7% of the area's population. The only other significant religious group is the Hindu community, who constitute 0.4% of the population. Muslims make up 0.3%, while 0.1% gave their religion as 'other'. The statistics show that at the time (2001) there was 0.0% Jewish and 0.0% Sikh, while 8.7% followed no religion and 5.6% chose not to state their faith.
South Ribble Borough Council has made a commitment to equality and diversity, ensuring that delivering first class service to all its users, regardless of race, religion, gender, social background, sexual orientation, age or disability is at the top of their agendas. Under the Race Relations (Amendment) Act 2000, the Council pledges to eliminate unlawful racial discrimination, to promote equality of opportunity and to promote good relations between persons of different groups.
The administrative, historic and geographic county of Lancashire comprises 12 districts and is situated in north-western England. Historically a part of Anglo-Saxon Northumbria, the region has gone through numerous changes in boundaries over the centuries. Until 1832 the parliamentary constituency comprised the whole county except Clitheroe, Lancaster, Liverpool, Newton, Preston and Wigan. In 1972 under the Local Government Act 1972 under administrative reforms it was recognised as a non-metropolitan county and lost Merseyside, Greater Manchester and its southern Lakeland fringe.
The County Council is based in Preston though Lancaster is widely recognised as the county town. The districts that make up the area under the control of the County Council are Burnley, Chorley, Fylde, Hyndburn, Lancaster, Pendle, Preston, the Ribble Valley, Rossendale, South Ribble, West Lancashire and Wyre. The council consists of 84 councillors, with the Labour party in control, who have 44 councillors, versus 31 Conservative councillors and 6 Liberal Democrats.
The breakdown of the ethnic groups in Lancashire is as follows. 94.7% of those polled for the 2001 Census describe themselves as of white ethnicity. 0.7% are of mixed race. 4.1% are Asian, 0.2% are black, 0.4% gave their ethnicity as Chinese or other. There are a number of wards in Lancashire with over an ethnic minority population of 50% or over. These include Preston, Blackburn, Accrington, Nelson and Burnley.
The Council has developed a strategic framework in order that differences between people are valued, everyone has an equal chance to live and work free from discrimination, and the county will be a beacon for a just and fair society. Their objectives include regulating and monitoring the workplace, improving access to information and services, meeting targets to a satisfying standard, and building trust and confidence throughout the county.

Cumbria is an administrative county of 478,607 in extreme north-western England. Human occupation dates back many centuries to the Neolithic era and has seen Roman settlement and their many impressive constructions including forts, roads and Hadrian's Wall. In more recent times it has undergone administrative changes which have meant the county has grown to include the addition of the historic counties Cumberland and Westmorland, and has included the addition of part of North Lancashire which includes the Lake District. The Sedburgh Rural district became a part of the county, having previously been a part of West Riding of Yorkshire. The county also includes the Eden and Kent river valleys and the Carlisle plain.
The county, despite being the third largest in area in England, is the second least densely populated in England. The population totals 498,800. A large proportion of the land is given over to the Lake District National Park, widely considered to be one of the most beautiful natural beauty sites in the entire country. The highest point in the England (Scafnell Pike, which stands at 978 metres) is in the county. In fact all the terrain that is more than 3,000 feet above sea level is in Cumbria.
Cumbria, along with other sparse counties throughout England, has a low proportion of ethnic minority groups. According to the 2001 census, of the 487,607 residents, 99.3% describe themselves as having a white ethnic background. 0.3% are mixed race, 0.2% are Asian, 0.1% are black and 0.2% are Chinese. The population is an ageing one, with 24.8% of the population being over 60 years of age compared with the nationwide average of 21%. The under-4, under-14, under-19 and under-24 age categories meanwhile are underrepresented.
There are six districts in the county, Allerdale, Barrow-In-Furness, Carlisle, Copeland, Eden and South Lakeland. For administrative purposes the region is sometimes divided into three areas, East, West and South. East covers Carlisle and Eden, West covers Allerdale and South Lakelane, and South comprises Barrow-In-Furness. The county has 84 elected members, each representing one electoral division. There are 39 Labour members, 32 Conservative members, 11 Liberal Democrat members and 2 Independent members.
In January 2007 Cumbria County Council voted in favour of abolishing the two-tier system of county and district councils, with a view to adopting a new unitary Cumbria Council. The proposal was submitted to the Department for Communities and Local Government. It was rejected, so now radical proposals have been put forward to make local government more responsive and effective, having identified the weaknesses in the existing system.
A survey conducted in Spring 2007 by Cumbria County Council in conjunction with the Community Voice (a representative panel of residents in Cumbria), reveals Cumbrian attitudes towards diversity. 56% of Cumbrians feel racial prejudice in their county is about the same as five years ago. 23% feel it is more now, while 10% feel it is less now.
In accordance with the Race Relations (Amendment) Act 2000 the Council has outlined a variety of policies and procedures to ensure all of Cumbria's residents receive fair treatment. Their vision is outlined here:
- First: No one from Council will treat staff or members of the public unfairly.
- Second: People do not suffer from racism, sexism, homophobia or unfair treatment on the grounds of disability, faith and age.
- Third: Gays, lesbians and bi-sexuals don't feel they have to keep quiet to stay safe.
- Fourth: Every group has a part to play.
- Fifth: Men and women should be able to work and have a life outside work.
- Sixth: Disabled people are given the power to take a full part in life.
- Seventh: People of all religions and those who believe in nothing, can talk about their beliefs in public.
- Eighth: No one is too young or old to do what they want in life.
The Council's policies on race relations seem to have instilled faith in the residents of Cumbria, as the survey reveals 81% of residents are confident that someone from an ethnic minority would receive fair treatment from the local council. Only 4% would not be confident.
St. Helens is a Metropolitan Borough in Merseyside, England. It is named after the main town, St Helens. Other settlements in the Metropolitan Borough include Newton-le-Willows, Earlestown, Haydock, Rainhill, Eccleston, Clock Face, Billinge and Rainford.
The Metropolitan Borough was formed on April 1, 1974 as a merger of the former County Borough of St Helens, along with the urban districts of Haydock, Newton-le-Willows and Rainford, and parts of Billinge-and-Winstanley and Ashton-in-Makerfield urban districts, along with part of Whiston Rural District, all from the administrative county of Lancashire.
The borough borders the borough of Knowsley, within Merseyside, in the south-west, the West Lancashire district of Lancashire in the north, the Greater Manchester borough of Wigan in the north-east, and to the south the unitary authorities of Warrington and Halton.
The population of St. Helens is 176,843, of which 98.8% considers itself to be of a White ethnic heritage, 0.4% South Asian, 0.1% Afro-Caribbean, and 0.2% Chinese or other. The largest ethnic minority group is Indian, comprising 409 members of the community. There are 153,636 Christians in St. Helens, and 11,107 people with no religious beliefs. The largest minority religious group is Muslim, with 349 members of the local population subscribing to the Islamic faith. The next largest religious groups, although still very small, are Hindus (294) and Buddhists (165).
No party currently has overall control of Sefton's local council (seat breakdown: Liberal Democrat 20 / Labour 21 / Conservative 6 / Independent 1).
St. Helens Council says that it is committed to a pro-active engagement with the arts, encouraging artistic endeavor because it:
- Is a driver for job creation, regeneration and economic development
- Enhances the quality of life for individuals and their communities
- Contributes to the positive development of the physical environment.
It states: "[t]he Arts present a positive public profile of the borough for all partners in St Helens and bring a better educated and informed community, enhancing business and inward investment".
While such enthusiasm for community regeneration inevitably contributes towards an increased understanding of and enthusiasm for diversity in the borough, St.Helens Council also takes a specific and stringent stance on racial harassment:
"[We recognise] that disadvantage and discrimination exist in society, and people may experience more than one form of discrimination. The Council is committed to striving to eliminate these inequalities and aims to be fair, reasonable and just in its responsibilities".
To achieve the core value of equality the council has adopted three equality objectives:
- Eliminate unlawful discrimination
- Promote equality of opportunit
- Promote good relations between people within a diverse community.

Liberal View of Human Nature
While there are several different theories and thoughts on the way human nature simply is, and how that effects our equality amongst each other, the bulk of it falls into two main categories, that is, conservative and liberal.
Liberal Thought on Equality and Human Nature
Liberalism itself is a distinctive account of human nature.
The goal is to achieve justice in society.
Relevant differences amongst individuals in human nature that cause inequality:
-guilt/innocence…what someone has or hasn't done (something no bueno)
-merit/desert…the good and bad in people, based on relevant capabilities or performance
-need: some people have a naturally greater need for things than others A principle of justice (relating to human nature): control condition- people held responsible for their voluntary choices, but not for their innate characteristics or factors beyond their control. All persons are relatively equal.
Hobbes: "For as to strength of the body, the weakest has strength enough to kill the strongest," and in "the faculties of the mind" there exists "yet a greater equality amongst men."
-SO: equal in body and mind, and even more so in the latter. -because of the equality of ability, we are also naturally hopeful of attaining our ends, and thus are naturally competitive. Hobbes then says that, "therefore, if any two men desire the same thing, which nevertheless they cannot both enjoy, they become enemies."

Hard LivinFebruary 28th, 2005
Check out what the boys had to say on their 12" 'Oh Girl', the projects they've got coming out and their back story on where they're from and how they got together.
First up, When did you guys link up and how far back was that?
Mike: We hooked up in 2000 ish through a mutual friend.
Were either of you working on music before you came together as Hard Livin?
Mike: Yeah, I was doing beats for American MCs like Poseidun and Lord Sho Allah. Oh, and Order and ICC. Big them up.
Kalibre: I was just writing rhymes for my personal enjoyment. It's only when I hooked up with Mike that I started to realise that we can do this. Basically though, both of us were getting nowhere without each other.
Mike: We hooked up through a mutual friend (some may know him as architech). He makes beats. But we kind of bumped heads before through other things.
Where are you two based?
Kalibre: Kent.
Mike: Medway in Kent.
Is there much of a scene going on around there?
Kalibre: To tell you the truth, there are people around here doing music but not many people achieving a lot at the moment. But it's getting there. People are starting to realise
Mike: There's a few good emcees and twice as many wack ones. There's regular hiphop nights too like at the Forum (Defcon: Natty n Dwella) and at the Tap N Tin in Chatham which holds live events. Graf used to be quite big but it just died down to taggin'. There's definitely some dope breakers still doing their thing though.
Kalibre: It aint for the weak and lazy. You gotta put in work
Mike: There is a new shop called Urban Heights. If you like hiphop get in there. Next to Chatham station. They got the Dark n Cold stuff from DVDs to mix CDs.
Kalibre: Jehst told me he's originally from Kent as well. Kent's got talent man
Have you ever felt drawn towards London like quite a few UK acts have in the past?
Mike: We do go to London for shows and hiphop film screenings but we just do our tracks down here. Don't really care about location.
Kalibre: Personally, not really. I just believe that if you're saying something that's phat or authentic, people will acknowledge you regardless where you come from. I've lived in East London and cities like Birmingham so it don't matter to me.
Do you do many live shows and which parts of the UK do they usually go on in? Got any dates you wanna plug?
Kalibre: Geez, we done shows all over man. Nottingham, Tonbridge Wells, Leicester, Essex. If there's a show we there.
Mike: We got a few dates lined up over the next few months. One of which is in a strip club and will double up as gemini's (a part of our crew) video shoot. We don't have no definite dates yet but when we do we'll let Adroit know so he can get on them websites to let people know.
What's the livest show you recall, or a place that's consistently off the hook?
Mike: The Tap N Tin was a wicked show. The place got utterly rammed out and it was a local joint for us. We were letting our friends know how we do…people we went to school with and that. We were first on too and smashed it.
Kalibre: For me Rawganics in Cambridge is heavy and I like my dinjy places like The Forum in Tonbridge Wells. You just gotta have a crowd who have got a clue about the music. You get enough dickheads turning up at shows and if the beat aint moving them they dont wanna know what's being said and they dont care.
How did you guys hook up with the Sin Nombre label?
Mike:I was doing beats for Dap-C a long while back through Universon and Dap signed with Ben at Sin Nombre. We came to Leicester to do a gig and Ben saw us and was interested. From then me and kalibre carried on working, not thinking about nothing but keep recording and finish the Hard Livin LP. Then we spoke to Ben and he wanted us on his label so we sent him 2 tracks, 'The Things We Do' and 'Oh girl'. We said to put 'Oh Girl' as a B side but he was like 'nah, I want it as an A side'. We were like 'Why? 'The Things We Do is better'. but he was like 'Ok, I'll make it a double A side'. Me and Kalibre couldn't really see the appeal of 'Oh Girl' as we only took a day to record and make the beat. But it done more- much more than we expected. So much more.
With Oh Girl getting as much love as it did, and being the first release, do you feel any expectation or pressure to follow it up?
Mike: I'm still like 'fuck, we did that in a matter of hours from nothing to a track. I do feel that way but I'm not into commercial stuff so if people like our next shit they do but if they don't I'm not bothered because I know hiphop heads will feel it.
Kalibre: Nah man, we say what's real and from the heart and we gonna continue doing that and I feel if we keep doing that there's not much people can say about it. If they do, fuck em because real know real. Plus, we got some shit that's waiting to be released and we'll just have to see.
Can you let us in on some info about the next stuff you're bringing out? When's an album gonna drop?
Mike:We don't really know about the LP date yet but we have an EP dropping in a few weeks. It's called 'A Solid Foundation'.
Kalibre: The album's all ready to be released but the label want us to hang on for now. The album will be called 'The Outlook'. Should have been out last year but it's been redone since.
You gonna drop a 12" with the EP? What are some of the lyrical and production vibes?
Mike: The EP will be the 12". The lyrics are on some conscious vibe. We're both KRS fans from way back and think that if you have a voice you may as well use it for good. Battle rhymes are cool but if your lyrics make the listener feel like you're repping his or her's life, then people will feel you more.
How do you guys work on a track. Is the beat made and then the lyrics, vice versa, or does it all sort of happen at once?
Mike: Beat first most times. I make about 5-7 beats a day. 'Oh Girl' took ten minutes.
Kalibre: Yeah, mike'll pass me a beat and if I'm feeling it I'll write something to it. Although, I write stuff sometimes and go studio and look for beats to lay shit on but I prefer writing to the beat.
Are you working on music exclusively or holding down jobs?
Kalibre: Holding jobs man. Can't live off this. We broke man.
Mike: 'Oh Girl' sample clearance is like most royalties. All we get is sales. We got fingers in pies though.
Kalibre: I was unemployed for 5 years living in a dream world, thinking I'm gonna make it in the music scene, but then realised for me to push my music I have to have cash coming in and I'm sick of getting arrested for shit.

Kalibre: We putting out a DVD. It'll probably be called UK's Finest. It'll have UK's hottest artists on there.

text: I have a rooted Droid, when the first "official" 2.2 ROM came out I unstalled it. I read that Verizon had an upgrade to that ROM and on Saturday morning I got a message saying there was a new version available so I accepted it rebooted but got stuck in a boot screen with a triangle with and ! in it with a little droid icon. I let it sit like that for about an hour thiking maybe it was still working. Finally I did a battery pull and it booted like normal. I can't tell if the ROM did anything since I didn't note what the build number was. On my phone it says it is Build FRG22 and Baseband 220.127.116.11-g103d848. What should be the latest build and baseband numbers? I've been searching through posts but I can't find what should be the latest.

Sebastian Bach Is A True Rocker
Ken Pierce | Brooklyn,, NY USA | 08/07/2005
(3 out of 5 stars)
"Taking portions of the VH1 show that held the same name "Forever Wild" and combining it with live concert footage we get this release from Sebastian Bach on Eagle Vision. It took a couple of views for me to come up with the proper opinion of it. While I have been a fan of Sebastian and his efforts for Metal and Hard Rock I found this DVD a little on the confusing side. For those that are unaware VH1 had a short-lived show bearing this name and it was dreadful if you asked me. The show was Sebastian pretty much running amok and they periodically showed videos. They also would place him in some odd situation on his own or with another rocker. It was almost like a "lets make a reality show about Sebastian Bach and how wild he can be" but never really followed any sort of scripting. I felt they should have either made a normal reality show about his life, and his band and touring and all or just done a Metal and Rock videos show with him as the host. I think the indecision of Network Executives is what endangered this show and made it so scattered. It was almost as if the creators were not placing so much attention in it. Over time this could have been developed into something a lot more interesting. Which brings us to this DVD.
Anyway, on this DVD we get a good sampling of the VH1 segments and while I felt much of them were wasted time there was some that left me gasping for air in laughter. Bach does some stuff with Motley Crue Singer Vince Neil and after losing a bet with him has to stand in an Alligator pool. I am not kidding you as he is standing knees deep in a pond full of Alligators and the handlers keep telling him don't move suddenly or anything. His expressions alone are priceless. There is also an amusing segment with Ted Nugent but how could the Nuge make any segment bad. Nugent alone is one of the most interesting people in Music. To me those were the best of the included TV segments.
The concert footage was pretty cool to see, as Bach really is an excellent front man. He is so totally into what he does and the audience energy seems to fuel him track after track. Joining Sebastian in the group for the video concert portion is Ritchie Scarlet (guitar), Mark McConnell (Drums), and Larry Fisher (bass). This section was filmed at The Whisky in Hollywood California in 2003. There is a lot of the Skid Row tunes you want to hear in the set and overall its fun to watch. They had all of my favorites by Skid Row so I was ok on the concert content. I watched the whole piece straight thru and did not see if there was a way to only watch the concert or the other program. I think the viewer is stuck with flipping past things that don't interest them. You can see by listing of the tracks on it, that concert pieces follow segments of the VH1 show and vice versa."
Ya, it's not perfect....It's Bachtacular!!!

"I understand that the DVD isn't of perfect quality, but I must say that this didn't bother me AT ALL!!!
Sebastian has done something with this DVD that others should take notice of...made something HE knew his fans would like...It's personal, funny, and in true Bach style...Diehard fans will overlook the little things. The music speaks for itself...his laugh contagious. Sebastian Bach rocks!!!!"
Bas Rules!!
Leeanne LeBlanc | Toronto, Canada | 01/11/2007
(4 out of 5 stars)
"Being a HUGE Sebastian fan, I loved this!! Sebastian is hilarious and adorable! Watching this made me see him as very down to earth! Would love to party with this guy! The only thing I wasn't too fond of is the actual concert footage during the first half or so - what were these guys thinking when they got dressed???!! Kind of reminded me of a bad 1970's B movie. A head-to-toe silver, sequined "Miami Vice" suit does NOT belong on someone like Sebastian! I'm very surprised (with his usual image) that he actually dressed like that in public! And the BAD hairdo - whoa! But all the in-between footage, as well as his incredible, unmatched vocals, were awesome! (Make absolute sure to watch "Bach in the Pit" - I can watch that part over and over! Hilarious to see Sebastian trying to stay cool when you could see he was pretty freaked out!) Bottom line - I love it!"
Forever lame

"Very disappointed with the audio/video quality of this DVD. Almost on the same level as a bootleg. I can't believe after all these years Sebastian Bach doesn't have better quality live footage to offer his fans."

Legislative Program
The Maryland Department of Transportation wants to spend tens of billions of dollars on wasteful highway projects that will do little for the average Marylander. New toll lanes on I-270, the Washington Beltway, and the Baltimore-Washington Parkway would charge sky-high tolls – $41 just to drive from Frederick to Shady Grove in rush hour. A new Bay Bridge would cost billions more.
There's a much smarter way to spend that money. For a fraction of the cost of these highway boondoggles, we could create a connected rail network to serve nine counties and Baltimore City, where more than four-fifths of the state's population lives.
In today's economy, transit access is the key to attracting jobs and investment. Making transit the state's top transportation priority will put Marylanders to work, strengthen the economy, and protect our environment.
As a start toward realizing that vision, we presented the following program to the 2018 General Assembly:
- Fully fund existing transit systems with no cuts in service
- In any contracts the state might sign for privately run toll lanes, ban non-compete clauses that limit transit expansion (HB0816)
- Resume work on the Red Line, with a project financing plan responsive to community goals
- Fully fund the project planning and NEPA process for the Southern Maryland Light Rail project at $27 million
- Dedicate sustained funding for WMATA (HB0372/SB0277) and clarify political responsibility for its success (HB0370/SB0279)
- Improve oversight and accountability of MTA services
We applaud the work of the General Assembly. All three bills in our program, HB0816, HB0372, and HB0370, were passed by both houses and sent to the governor, who signed HB0372 and HB0370 and allowed HB0816 to become law without his signature. Resumption of work on the Red Line and the Southern Maryland Light Rail is in the hands of the executive branch, and there has been no progress to date.

Top Tour seeds raced today in big bay conditions with the windward mark stationed a little over 500 metres off the entrance to Portimão Marina and 8 – 15 knots of wind which shifted round to the right by early evening round from the South West to West. Matches were run in quick succession during the day's sea breeze splendour with the first 6 teams completing 3 flights and the remaining 6 teams racing 2 flights. Adam Minoprio (NZL) ETNZ/BlackMatch Racing convincingly won all three of his matches, with Mathieu Richard (FRA) French Match Racing Team and Francesco Bruni (ITA) Azzurra finishing the day on 2-0.
Minoprio, reigning World Champion who picked up a second last year at the Portugal leg of the Tour, remains focussed on staying in top form for start time, he talked through race preparation in the Portuguese climate, « It's very warm here, you feel like you want to enjoy the sun and go swimming, but if you stay in the heat you get dehydrated and won't be able to focus properly for the racing, you just can't do both ». This commitment to performance shone through today in Minoprio's second match against Bertrand Pacé (FRA) Aleph Sailing Team who was World Champion back in 2000. Pacé led Minoprio round the course until he picked up a penalty that he just couldn't off load by the finish as Minoprio took the advantage and lungedacross the line ahead of the passionate Frenchman.

The power out on the course has sat firmly with the right today. During pre-start manoeuvres skippers factored in fighting for the all important right hand side where the benefits of the wind clocking continually right coupled with starboard tack dominance multiplied the attraction of this side of the start line and first beat significantly.
Bruni is a fan of the new Portuguese venue having won both of his matches today, « There are good conditions here in Portimão, the venue has a big potential ». Interestingly Bruni is known as a 'light wind specialist' but it has taken the stronger winds of Portimão to give him the edge over his competitors having beaten both Björn Hansen (SWE) Hansen Global Team and Portuguese national Alvaro Marinho (POR) Seth Sailing Team, with a 2-0 score.

Richard also ends day one with a 2-0 score. He was not daunted by the prospect of stronger winds at Stage 4 saying after the Skipper's briefing, « We like the light winds definitely and had light winds in the first stages, but I also think we can get good results in the stronger breeze ». Richard has nearly won the Tour a number of times before and has had to mount the podium but not be the overall king which is frustrating for this hugely talented European. 2010 has been a dream year so far for his team and today he once again communicated the focussed and consistent approach he uses for all events, « We are confident as we sailed well since the beginning of the year and the weather is good here in Portugal, we have those all important points and results which makes us happy. But we also feel pressure as we are the leaders and when you have a such a lead the spotlight is on you ».

The forecast for the event week ahead is for unbroken sunshine translating into solid match racing breeze for the 12 entries.

Instead of brushes – a rake instead of colors – sand. Perhaps this is all you need to sand art masters to create their work.
Summer – the perfect time for beach lovers. And while the rest are tourists and toil of doing nothing at resorts already being brilliant artists create their works. Coming at low tide, they spent hours on end is carried by the water, painting a mysterious patterns along the coast. Each pad like a huge canvas on which to carefully loom large paintings, which are visible only from the bird's flight.
These beautiful geometric patterns do not last very long, they are quickly washed away by the waves or trampled surfers and other lovers stroll on the beach. But then a fleeting moment that will last picture, leave a mark in the heart of every lover of this art. Art for art's sake.

"The best teachers lead students along a path of self-discovery and individual soul-searching," critic Christopher A. Yates writes in the Dec. 9 edition of The Columbus Dispatch. "Such is the case in 'The Soul of Objects,' on view at the Dublin Arts Council."
The teacher in this instance is Ohio Wesleyan University fine arts professor Cynthia Cetlin, M.F.A., a member of the OWU faculty since 1987. Cetlin and several of her current OWU students and young alumni are exhibiting their creations through Dec. 21 at the Dublin, Ohio, gallery, 7125 Riverside Drive.
"Cetlin is well-known in the central Ohio arts community for her evocative jewelry," Yates writes, later noting that: "Each student in Cetlin's class is at a different state of development. All are building their visual vocabulary through the union of craft and concept."

I am on the hunt for a nice offshore VPS solution that allows exe files to be executed.
Any ideas?
So you want Windows based VPS - do you have any other requirements?? A quick search turned up the following.
Don't know what they're like though.
Windows VPS is not the problem.
A lot of VPS providers block .exe access.

Thanks to all the feedback!. I got 6 more VPS going now!.

How I Got Rid of My Tooth Pain
For me, toothache pain is one of the most terrible physical pain that I have endured. My outing to the dental practitioner, who spent around half an hour analysing my affected tooth while constantly reassuring me that he was trying to make the procedure as pain-free as possible.
In any case, I was apprised that I would require endodontic treatment but I had to wait till inflamed pulp clears out and the pain localises and the exact source/area of the pain is identified. I was prescribed some anti-inflammatories. By and large, a greatly gainful visit.
A toothache can be brought on by various issues, for example, gum malady, a split tooth, an irregular bite or grinding of teeth. However, we will concentrate on a toothache engendered by tooth decay, as that is the most well-known cause, despite the fact that the following cures will help alleviate pain caused by other issues as well.
A cavity caused by tooth decay is the consequence of bacteria in the mouth and its response to sugars and starches. As microbes separate the sugars and starches, sticky plaque loaded with acids frame over the tooth. If left unchecked, plaque can frame tartar, which can't without much of a stretch be brushed away. These acids destroy the enamel and unless dealt with, they will keep on eating ceaselessly at the tooth until it ends up contaminated. It is the point at which the pulp is contaminated that a root canal becomes essential to limit the infection.
Although there are two popular home-made remedies that I personally used and recommend others to use as well.
The first is cloves. They consist of a substance called eugenol, which is a potent antiseptic and painkiller. Cloves were utilised by dental specialists well before present day dentistry evolved, and eugenol, in an extricated refined shape, is utilised even today. Truth be told, it is a primary constituent of the stuff a dental practitioner will swab on your gums to numb the affected region. While there is still some doubts about its mechanism, notwithstanding its usage in the dentistry, eugenol presumably acts on certain agony receptors, blocking them and in this manner, obstructing the sensation of ache.
The second remedy I used involved a paste made from salt, pepper and water. Try not to utilise too much pepper as it will make your mouth swell. Apply the paste to the part that is affected. The popular belief is that if your paste is spicier, then it will make your toothache issue to be cured effectively. It can make somewhat harsh sensation yet you will see that your toothache will be away for a while using this method. It certainly worked in my case.
Even aspiring dentists who have enrolled in a dental technology program vouch for the above- mentioned remedies. While setting off to the dental specialist may appear to be an expensive alternative, these cures will help you fight tooth decay. However, it is important to note that these remedies are not a substitute for professional assistance.

Lodging & Meals
If meals and/or lodging are included by the organization as part of the assignment of duty, or are included with a conference fee, without additional charge to the traveler, they are therefore not reimbursable to the employee. If only lodging was provided, meal allowances based on location of lodging may still be claimed. Travelers are allowed lodging and meals for weekends when it is necessary for them to be in travel status.
