For years many racers have used the better gsx1100 clutch basket in the chain drive gs1000. the primary gear is the same, you just need to shorten the basket and inner hub height.

To enable you to drop a gsx1100 clutch basket into the gs1000 cases, without maching the basket and hub, we have produced a billet spacer to move the cover out just enoughto allow this. £110 plus vat.

Grover Beach family of boy with brain cancer is helping to raise money for research
Correction: An earlier version of this story incorrectly identified the practice where pediatric oncology nurse practitioner Mary Okimoto works. She works at Coastal Integrative Cancer Care in San Luis Obispo.
About a year ago, Sam Jeffers was a typical 7-year-old — kind, creative, adventurous and incredibly smart. He climbed trees. He clambered on the monkey bars.
Today, Sam is a quiet, calm child who rarely leaves his Grover Beach home. He has difficulty standing, walking and going to the bathroom without assistance. He communicates mostly in whispers and tiny, tremulous nods.
"There is a Sam that isn't here anymore," said his mother, Sabrina Jeffers. "We didn't realize he was slipping away until he was gone."
Back in September 2012, Sam was diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer — a disease that could end his life in months, or even weeks. Now, the Jeffers family is teaming up with a group of Grover Beach moms to ensure that something positive can come from the tragedy of the eight-year-old boy's eventual death.
Love and Lemonade for Sam will hold a fundraiser for childhood cancer research from 2 to 6:30 p.m. today at Grover Heights Elementary School in Grover Beach, in connection with Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to eradicating childhood cancers.
Together, the mothers — Harmony Brown, Michelle Damian, Amanda Hickey, Erlayne Krasner and Mary Moore-Sheller — hope to increase awareness about childhood cancer and campaign for a cure. In just three weeks, they've raised more than $2,500.
"You're seeing a community really stand behind this family. (Supporters) are just coming out of the woodwork," Brown said. "Through Sam's personal experience, we're all becoming a little more aware of how deadly this disease is."
According to the American Cancer Society, an estimated 11,630 children younger than 15 are expected to be diagnosed with cancer in 2013. Add ages 15 through 19, and that's approximately 15,000 new cases a year, according to Mary Okimoto, pediatric oncology nurse practitioner at Coastal Integrative Cancer Care in San Luis Obispo.
San Luis Obispo County sees 10 to 15 new childhood cancer cases each year, Okimoto said.
"It's very hard to get exact numbers," she added, because most young patients are diagnosed elsewhere due to the relative lack of childhood cancer care on the Central Coast.
"There will never be a pediatric oncologist in our town because there aren't enough patients to pay them full time," said Okimoto, which is why she joined Coastal Integrative Cancer Care two years ago. As a pediatric oncology nurse practitioner, she provides chemotherapy infusions, physical exams and other services that patients would otherwise be forced to find out of the area.
Other local resources for young cancer patients include Jack's Helping Hand, which funds technology, therapeutic equipment and treatment-related travel expenses, and the Hearst Cancer Resource Center at French Hospital Medical Center in San Luis Obispo, which offers advocacy, counseling and referrals.
What is really needed, however, is more research funding, Okimoto said.
As of March, 5.8 percent of all American Cancer Society grants went to childhood cancer research. The National Cancer Institute dedicated less than 4 percent of its total budget to the same purpose in 2011.
"It's really frustrating being in this field and not having as much research as we deserve," Okimoto said.
According to Brown, the Jeffers' experiences with childhood cancer "embodies the larger struggle of all the families that we don't see."
She listed half a dozen local children and teens who have dealt with cancer — ranging from Arroyo Grande toddler Lilly Bumpus, who is in remission for Ewing's sarcoma, to college student Melinda Marchiano of Nipomo, who was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma at age 13.
Before her son's diagnosis, Sabrina Jeffers said, she knew two childhood cancer patients.
"I had never looked at the numbers before. I never had reason to," she said.
That changed Sept. 20, 2012, when a series of blackouts and seizures sent Sam to the emergency room.
There, an MRI scan revealed a mass on Sam's thalamus, a structure sitting atop the brainstem. An emergency room physician dispatched Sam and his mother to Children's Hospital Los Angeles via ambulance.
Upon their arrival, neurosurgeons confirmed two suspicions: Sam had a glioma — a tumor affecting glial cells ("It's the sticky goo that holds your brain together," his mother explained) — and they could not remove it surgically.
With radiation considered a last resort, Sam started chemotherapy within days.
For about eight months, he and his family traveled weekly to Santa Barbara for treatment at Cottage Hospital, making trips to Children's Hospital every six to eight weeks. Then, on May 29, Sam's oncologist announced that "there was nothing more they could do," Sabrina Jeffers said.
"I really thought that we had a good five to 10 years (left), that we'd be able to stabilize it, get it under control," she said, but the tumor kept growing. The oncologist predicted that Sam had just a few months to live.
Sam has already outlived that prediction, his mother said.
"We try our best to make sure he is content and comfortable and he is not in any pain," she said, adding that memory loss has shielded Sam from knowing what he's lost.
"He doesn't ever say 'Why is this happening to me?' " she said. "He just accepts it."
But Sam's friends, parents and siblings, 16-year-old Ben and 14-year-old Abby, are not as ready to accept his fate.
"If we have one goal, it would be that no child had to go through what Sam went through and no family has to go through what we went through," said his father, John Jeffers. "I wouldn't wish that on anybody."

1. Larkin and Mail are a formidable opening pair
Quite some time has passed since Nick Larkin and Greg Mail opened the innings together for Sydney University – over the last couple of seasons, Larkin has often batted at three, and Mail has frequently dropped down to the middle order. But they took on the new ball together against Manly, and their reunion at the top of the order was an unqualified success. Larkin hit his first double-hundred in First Grade, an unbeaten 206 that included 27 boundaries. Mail actually outpaced his partner, manipulating the bowling around the ground almost at will, and hitting 22 fours in his 179. This might suggest that the pitch was dead, but in fact it was well-grassed and Mickey Edwards extracted plenty of lift from it with the new ball. Luck didn't really go Manly's way: its best bowler, Edwards, was returning from injury and was allowed to send down only 12 overs, while Ahillen Beadle, whose slow bowling would certainly have been useful, left the field during the first session feeling unwell. The other bowers stuck to their task with plenty of discipline and application, except perhaps for two overs of presumably tactical filth sent down by captain Adam Crosthwaite, apparently in the hope that one of the batsmen might self-destruct. Crosthwaite could not be blamed if he was frustrated: he was also the Manly captain in 2009-10, when Mail and Will Hay shared an opening stand of 324. That record was wiped from the books by Mail and Larkin, whose partnership of 337 was not only a first-wicket record for University, but also the second-highest in the history of the competition, behind the 423 by Victor Trumper and Dan Gee for Paddington against Redfern back in 1902-03.
2. Joshua Clarke is in good nick
Batting at Owen Earle Oval appears to agree with Joshua Clarke, who won't be regretting his move to Hawkesbury from Campbelltown-Camden in the off-season. After exchanging the south-west for the north-west, he's opened the season with scores of 95 not out against North Sydney, 109 against Parramatta and 118 against Blacktown – 322 runs at an average of 161. With his fellow Campbelltown exile, Jordan Gauci, also in good touch, Hawkesbury won't be short of runs this season. Bowling might be another matter, though: in its three games, Hawkesbury has taken only 18 wickets, and each one has cost over 42 runs.
3. Playing against Campbelltown won't ever be boring
Imagine you're a left-arm bowler. You have immense talent. Over the course of your career, you've had trouble harnessing that ability. You've played for lots of different teams, trying to find the environment that brings the best out of you. You've achieved a lot, but you're left with a frustrating sense that you might have done more. If you're Australian, you're called Danny McLauchlan. If you're English - hello, Monty Panesar. So it's fitting that both of these gifted, idiosyncratic characters have now turned up together in the Campbelltown-Camden side.
McLauchlan's resumé now extends to five Sydney Grade clubs – he's also played for Sutherland, Wests, St George and Bankstown – apart from his time in Western Australia, where he played well in Shield cricket. Panesar, since losing his place in the England Test side, has drifted from Northamptonshire to Sussex to Essex and back to Northamptonshire, trying to rediscover his touch. He's been open about the problems that have contributed to his loss of form, but he remains the most successful English left-arm spinner of the last thirty years. Both men bowled neatly on their return to Sydney Grade cricket, and they picked up a wicket apiece, although they couldn't prevent Sutherland's Chris Williams and Jamie Brown from sharing a fourth-wicket partnership of 234. Still, McLauchlan and Panesar bring some much-needed experience to Campbelltown, and no game in which they both play will ever be dull.
4. Mark Morley won't forget his debut any time soon
Mark Morley first appeared in Grade cricket eight years ago, when he was a student at St Gregory's, Campbelltown. He played for Bankstown in those days, and stayed with the Bulldogs for six seasons without ever rising above Second Grade. Inconsistency was his problem. In 2012-13, for example, the solidly-built left-hander hammered 203 not out and 154 in Third Grade, but was also dismissed in single figures nine times. Then he moved on – first, to Lindfield in the Shires, and then to Easts, where he spent last season in Seconds. His debut in First Grade, in Round Three, was his 148th grade game. But it was worth the wait. Against his former club, Morley went to the crease with the score at five for 228, chasing Bankstown's total of 411. Soon, he lost his captain, Greg Clarence, bowled by Nathan McAndrew. Morley played like a man with nothing to lose, facing 96 deliveries and hitting 20 of them to the fence. He dominated a seventh-wicket stand of 121, to which Will Somerville contributed only 28 runs. With Daniel Magin, he carried the score to 409 until Magin was run out – which left Morley on strike for the final over of the match, with three runs needed for victory. The highly-experienced Jarrad Burke made things interesting by removing Morley, caught by keeper Michael Stretton: but with three deliveries remaining, last batsman, Tim Skelly, edged the ball through the infield and scampered the three runs Easts needed for their first win of the season.
5. Bowling is for idiots
We've mentioned this before, but if Sydney cricketers were subjected to IQ testing, it's highly likely that those players who offer themselves for selection as bowlers before Christmas would not feature at the higher end of the scale. A rational person would work on his batting, or complain of some unspecified muscular complaint, at least until a few blades of grass appear on the pitches. In the ten First Grade matches in Round Three, there were eight totals over 400 – and it may well have been nine if Hawkesbury hadn't declared at 9 for 390. Sydney University hit 1 for 424; Sutherland ran up four for 407 against Campbelltown; Parramatta hit five for 422 against Wests; Randwick-Petersham hit six for 431 and would have lost if Northern District (seven for 427) had batted for one more over. In winning its three matches so far this season, Sydney University has lost only eight wickets, and its opponents have paid 106 runs for each of them. The unforgiving pitches and the flat-seamed ball offer almost no encouragement to the faster bowlers in particular. In these circumstances, Nic Bills – who took eleven wickets (5-43 and 6-77) in Sydney's win over Fairfield – deserves some kind of medal. To put that performance in context, Bills took only four fewer wickets than the entire Eastern Suburbs attack has managed in the season so far.

bike season
Last summer, Grace and I became first-time city-bike owners, and we went a little bike crazy — there were bike accessories, best of bikes in sneak peeks and even a bike video. In spite of last summer's crazy heat, riding around the city on my cute bike made it the best summer ever. Seriously, it's one of those little things that has the power to make you so, so happy. For those of you currently without two wheels, I'm sharing these super cute bikes by Windsor that are pretty affordable. Even though I have my bike, there's always a little accessory that I seem to be eying. — Amy A.
Image above: Windsor bikes from , $229.95 to $349.95
Image above:
Last week was my first time riding my bike since the fall — it has been a long, hard winter, and I just couldn't brave the cold. Getting my bike out of the house was so much fun! But there was a little, tiny annoyance. I am terrible with directions and because I'm relatively new on my bike, I like to stick to the streets with bike lanes. So before I head out, I look up my directions online (I use , which is amazing). Then I write the directions on a piece of paper, which I tape to my basket. This must stop. At the New York City Gift Show, I spotted the solution to my problems — the icrew4 iPhone mount by . It's waterproof, it pivots and it's sleek. I'm totally in love with everything, except that I have to order it from Japan. So I thought I'd see if anyone else has iPhone-mount suggestions that don't come from Japan.

Black hole theory deepens lithium crisis
Proposal identifies potential new source of element
The universe is lacking in lithium — and instead of solving what's known as the "lithium problem," a new study makes it even more complicated.
The work, published in the July 13 Physical Review Letters, suggests that some small black holes could be acting as lithium factories. The problem is, observed lithium levels are too low to accommodate such production. Those levels are also much lower than those predicted by otherwise robust theories describing how the first chemical elements were created just after the Big Bang.
"This makes the lithium problem worse," says astrophysicist Brian Fields of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. "But it could point to more exotic goings-on in the Big Bang."
Lithium, along with hydrogen and helium, is one of the few elements produced in the hot, energetic moments after the Big Bang. Unlike hydrogen and helium, observed lithium levels are three or four ti

Making a cover with lead type
I'm pretty pleased with the cover art for The Gutenberg Rubric, as I've already mentioned. But I thought some people might be interested in the process we used to create it. After all, there aren't all that many people who have access to a print shop, and I have an obligation to share the experience! So here's a step by step.
I became pretty familiar with all the tiny bits of lead that would be used for spacing. The first picture are just spaces in various type sizes. Those are used within the line to make it come out even and to add space between words or characters. There was also a little box of brass in the point size I was using. The brass spacers are only one point thick. The lead spacers ranged from a square em down to an en, 4 em, and thin space. The second picture is the lead that goes between the lines of type. I set the title solid, but added lead between the author and the title.
This is the coolest part about setting type. I put the letters in the composing stick, setting them from right to left and adding spacers at the end of each line to make a perfect 25 pica line. There is a little nick on the front edge of each type bit, so you can feel whether you have the letters all right side up. Not so difficult with this size type (36 point Artcraft titling caps. The author's name was set in Alternate Gothic No. 1 at 30 points.
Dan Shafer, a member of the Seattle Center for Book Arts and instructor in book arts at Cornish College for the Arts, stepped in to tie the type so it wouldn't shift when we put it on the press. Because it was such a small job, we didn't lock it up with furniture all around it when we put it in the tray. Dan just inked the type and we were ready to roll.
After several test pages, we were able to pull a page that was clean and hold it in position with clips until I could get a good picture for the cover. We experimented with different lighting conditions, paper stocks, and lens openings until I got one that I felt was usable.
And from that we get the final artwork for the cover. I tried various alignments and actually have pictures in which the type lines up almost perfectly horizontal on the page, but I like the dynamics of this shot the best. (It wraps around the spine and back cover as well!)
I've always been a big fan of photographic covers on most adult fiction, but also have had a hard rule that the photo would not include the type. Now I'm breaking that rule, but to make sure that the type is clean and clear on the cover, I did a little black enhancement in Photoshop being careful not to affect the letterpress edge of the characters.
The Gutenberg Rubric will be released in July.

Women's T20 Consolation Final
A tidy all-round effort from Pamela Lavine helped Barbados clinch third place with a seven-wicket win over Guyana. Lavine led the way with 21 from 17 balls, as the Barbadians successfully chased 89 for victory in the Consolation Final at Sabina Park. Barbados captain Shakera Selman fittingly formalised the result with 15 deliveries remaining, when she swept a delivery from Prudence Williams to fine leg for two.
Lavine had grabbed 3-13 from her allotment of four overs of medium-pace and leg-spinner Shaquana Quintyne captured 2-13 from her four overs, as Guyana, deciding to bat, were restricted to 88 for seven from their 20 overs. Guyana captain June Ogle top-scored with 30, but no other Guyana player reached 20, as they stumbled after reaching 41 for one in the eighth over.

Thursday, February 17, 2005
In testimony before a Congressional committee today, Alan Greenspan seemed to say (I am never exactly sure what he said or meant) that the problems with Medicare will be several times as expensive and difficult as the problems with Social Security.
He said that one important reason he believed in private accounts for Social Security is that poorer people do not feel like money in the present Social Security system is really theirs, and they will feel richer if their Social Security account is privatized. And that it is important that they feel richer. (That's what he seemed to say, but it did not sound as silly when he said it.)
In response to a question from Barney Frank (who is one of the brightest minds in Congress, and one of the most interesting when questioning witnesses), Greenspan said something that seems really shocking. Asked whether he (Greenspan) would have voted for Social Security when it was first proposed in the 30's, Greenspan indicated he did not know if he would have voted for it.
Sometimes the context (such as a person's underlying political philosophy) in which someone makes a statement (such as support for privatization of Social Security) is important for understanding the significance of the statement.
There is an old joke (probably older than Social Security). A visitor to Honolulu asks a man she meets on the street whether the name of the state is pronounced Ha-Wa-yee or Ha-Va-yee. "Ha-Va-yee," the man answers. "Thank you," the visitor says. "You're Velcome," the man responds.

The battle against diabetes in the United States is constant. Type 2 diabetes for the over 40 years category is more common because of increasing obesity which is largely due to the typical American diet. We eat more refined foods and fast foods and we are not getting the exercise that we need. It's astonishing that almost half of the US Population, either have diabetes, or fall into the Prediabetes category. BUT the best news about this diabetes epidemic is that it's almost entirely preventable!
Here's just a few tips when Opting for Fast Food.
- Make sure to check out the "healthy options" on the menu, when visiting the big take-out chains.
- Noodles area great choice, but make sure you choose an option with an accompaniment low in fat, like veges lean meat or fish.
- Japanese food is a great choice – there's rice rolls with fish or vegetables, sashimi and sushi.
- Always opt for boiled rice rather than Fried rice.
- Try to avoid the sauces offered for salads and other foods – they can contain as much calories as the meal itself
- Go for the wholegrain bread and roll variety where it's offered.
- Drink water, or a no sugar version of soda.
- Avoid hot dogs, pies, pastries and fries.
More HERE on Healthy food for Diabetics!
Can Diabetes be Reversed with Diet and Exercise
In type 2 diabetes, just like with your diet, the exercise program you choose needs to have goals that are achievable, but also rigorous enough to provide health benefits. If you have recently been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, there's a good chance you haven't exercised for quite some time. So take it slow to start! Around 30 minutes per day to start is good – but if you find you can't manage that all in one stint, then you can certainly break it up into 3 smaller sessions that you can manage.
- Walking every day is a great place to start. Just start out with 15 minutes per day and build as you start to improve fitness.
- Try and arrange to walk with a friend
- Try to increase your daily activity levels in general – by walking the stairs instead of taking the elevator. Parking a little further away from the grocery store and walking the extra.
- Get yourself a pedometer to count your steps and motivate you to reach your set goals for the day.
- Join a gym or an exercise class. This is good as you will have a class leader to follow, and also there would be someone to help in the event of an emergency.
Managing your Blood Glucose Levels.
Just as regular exercise is an essential part of controlling your diabetes, keeping regular checks on your Blood sugar levels is equally important for type 2 diabetes . Take steps to maintain its range.
Use a Blood Glucose Meter to make random checks of your blood sugar levels several times during the day. There are many types of blood glucometers available. Choose one you like and use as indicated several times a day to record your levels.
Signs of Hyperglycemia.
- The excessive thirst,
- frequent urination
- blurry vision.
- Fatigue
- Weight loss
- Headaches
Signs of Hypoglycemia.
- nervousness,
- tremors or signs of weakness,
- fainting
- Excessive Hunger

Along the Merri Creek just a little upstream from the Heidelberg Rd bridge, the concrete bike path diverges into a little set of stairs. A bluestone retaining wall frames the embankment on one side, and longer stones frame the stairs on the right. The staircase seems to lead to a path along the river but it didn't look very inviting. Perhaps I'll explore when it is no longer the height of snake season.
Long couch grass is growing between some of the stones. That's pretty unusual, as bluestone walls usually fit pretty tightly. (I can foresee a time when I might be able to make judgements about the quality and even the date of bluestone walls from their mortar: there seem to be quite thick layers here.) The pole on a slant bears, if I remember correctly, a warning about flood levels. Just to the right of these steps is a low timber crossing, which is regularly flooded after heavy rains, as the Creek fills up.
To me, it's hard not to see something a bit whimsical here. The stairs certainly help shape the embankment as the path twists and curves to the right, yet they also lead the eye and the step upward, away from the determined running, walking and cycling that goes on daily here. The steps seem to offer your own secret little space of wilderness, in dramatic juxtaposition to the civic geometry that invites you there.

Stop Living By Christian Principles
TGIF Today God Is First Volume 2 by Os Hillman
Monday, May 04 2015
..."having a form of godliness but denying its power" (2 Tim 3:5).
TGIF Today God Is First Volume 2 by Os Hillman
Monday, May 04 2015
..."having a form of godliness but denying its power" (2 Tim 3:5).
God never called you to live by Christian principles. He calls you to live in relationship with the living God, Jesus Christ. One of the weaknesses of the Church today is that we teach people principles without the relationship.
The western church is big on ten step programs, "how-to" methods and acrostics to illustrate memorable ideas. There is a place for establishing principles to change negative behavior. However, we are not called to have a relationship with principles, but a living God.
Living by principles is the equivalent to living by the law in the Old Testament. It is rooted in the Greek system of learning and is dependent upon our strength instead of being led and empowered by the Holy Spirit. Principle-based living is powerless living. This makes our Christian experience a religion instead of a relationship. "But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law" (Gal 5:18).
We read about principle-based followers in the book of Acts, "The apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders among the people. And all the believers used to meet together in Solomon's Colonnade. No one else dared join them, even though they were highly regarded by the people" (Acts 5:12-14). There was a group of followers who liked being taught but never entered the game.
The prophet Jeremiah tells us about the nature of God and His desire for every believer.
This is what the LORD says: "Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom or the strong man boast of his strength or the rich man boast of his riches, but let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight," declares the LORD. (Jeremiah 9:23-24).
Friend, have you been guilty of living a life based on principles instead of knowing the One who authored the principles? Invite Jesus to be Lord over your life and begin to spend time with Him every day. Ask the Holy Spirit to lead and guide you through every moment of your day.
The Old Testament principles were established as a means of loving and obeying a covenant keeping God. The introductory statement to the ten commandments in Exodus 20 reads: "I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery." God begins the commandments with a statement of redemption and deliverance. The commands are meant to flow from and follow redemption, not to be a substitute for them. It may be true that Israel missed this flow and legalistically followed the commands without savoring and living out the reality of a redemptive covenant relationship with God. And they did not do this well, as we know. But this does not invalidate those principles, which, by the way, Jesus Himself followed and obeyed.
Our own law code is founded on biblical principles, not a Greek-based system of learning. I am glad we are a society resting on principles, not on some kind of experiential, illusive, feeling-oriented relational reality. It is true our American and Western societies have departed greatly from those biblically based principles. That is to our detriment and maybe future destruction.
I am also thankful that many non-Christians I know live "principled" lives. My own deceased father, while never knowing Christ personally and relationally, lived on Christian principles taught to him by his grandparents and other family members. Therefore, he did not steal or murder or covet another woman apart from my mom. He even kept the sabbath. Not out of a relationship with Christ, but out of principled living.
So, I am opting for what I call a "principled relationship." I love Jesus and abide by biblical principles. Both are important and necessary. Why would we want it another way?

Templemore Care Home
Manager: Teresa Warren
What People Say
"I would like to thank each and every one of you for the love and kindness shown to my Mum whilst she was living at Templemore. Her final days, although painful for us all, were made easier to bear by the love and care shown by all of your staff. [She was] genuinely cared for." Son of Resident
"Just wanted to let you know that I had such a happy visit with Dad today. He was sitting in the garden quite contentedly when I arrived, and we had a lovely chat. Honestly, I am over the moon that Dad has settled in so well; he looks so much healthier and is a lot calmer since he has been living with you. But above all, he has told me that he really likes it [at Templemore]." Daughter of Resident
"We would like to thank everyone at Templemore for making our Diamond Wedding Day so memorable. Providing a private room decorated with flowers etc made it even more special. All this confirmed our belief that this must be one of the best care homes in the country." Resident

"We are writing to express our gratitude for the excellent care given to [our Aunt] during her stay with you. She always seemed very happy and contented, well cared for, and in excellent spirits. We are glad to know that she was so well looked after in her last few years." Family of Resident
"It is with heartfelt gratitude that I [say this]. Whilst I was mindful that [my Husband] was impaired by his stroke, there was no gradual transition on my part to prepare for an end. I am truly grateful for your care and attention during his final days and I could not have felt more supported by you as I struggled to grasp what was happening." Wife of Resident
"Thank you all so much for the care and attention you gave to my father. It has made life so much easier knowing that he has been well looked after." Son of Resident
"I would like to thank all the staff and carers at Templemore for the kindness, love & attention given to my husband during his time at the home. It was very comforting to know he was happy there and well looked after." Wife of Resident
"I would to say, I have been involved with Templemore for about 3 years now with visiting [one of the home's residents] at least once a week. I have been very impressed with Templemore in several ways: the staff are wonderful, caring and so, so patient. The home is extremely well run and there always seems to be plenty of entertainment for those that want it. It is clean, bright and well-furnished, and always smells clean!" Visitor
"Over the years I have met quite a few of you and would like to say a heart-felt 'thank you' for all your care for my Mum. I do realise she wasn't one of your easiest residents, but you all cared for her so very well. You are all absolute angels and are worth your weight in gold..." Daughter of Resident
"When my Mother was a resident at Templemore, she took part in the 'Music for Memory' project. We recorded a variety of songs that were linked with her past, of which had a calming effect on her. As Mum is no longer a resident at Templemore, we weren't able to continue with the project, but hopefully, existing residents are still benefitting from it." Daughter of Resident
"[We] would like to express our very sincere thanks and appreciation for the care and attention Templemore gave to my Mother during the past three years. All of the staff we have met (and had any dealings with) have always been caring, professional and helpful. We know Mother came to regard many of them as part of her family. We were particularly grateful and appreciative to see some of the staff at Mother's funeral. We have no reservation in recommending Templemore to anyone in need of such facilities." Son of Resident
"Many thanks [to the home's Activities Facilitators] for all the fun activities you have provided over the last 2 years." Family of Resident
"I am writing to thank you all at Templemore, especially on Cedars 1, for the care and kindness you have all given to Mum over the last 3 years.

"Mum could not stop telling me how much she enjoyed her recent trip out to the shops, she got a CD and had tea and lemon drizzle cake and also about the BBQ you had in the grounds and how she helped with the raffle tickets. I want to say what a great job all the staff do there and also how wonderful the home is. So much work has been done and it is beautiful. I am glad Mum is there, the staff are lovely and more importantly my Mum is happy there." Daughter of Resident
"My mother was a resident in the dementia areas and was happy as she could be in the final year of her life.In my opinion the home is extremely friendly, very clean and provides excellent care for loved ones. It wasn't easy for Mum at times but all the staff always kept us informed when problems arose. Nothing is perfect but if we had a problem it was addressed very quickly. Dementia is a terrible condition but the staff are very well trained to cope well with all the problems that ensue from it. In particular, Janette the overall care manager is excellent at her job, is always there to talk and help. The manager, although not involved with the care, handles the managing of the home with professionalism. Mother passed away in Templemore and the carers couldn't have been kinder. I am very happy to recommend this home as choosing a home for loved ones is such a difficult task." Family of Resident
"Arthur lived at Templemore and following a spell of pneumonia was placed on the end of life care pathway and Templemore accepted him back into their care to see him and us through to the end which took 5 days. It is important that all agencies involved in either vetting or commissioning adult care services know that Templemore did an exemplary job - Dad was cared for with respect and tenderness. He was visited by many members of staff who had come to know him well and who had formed an affection for him. This was wonderful for both him and his family in his last few days.
