Researchers estimate that 250,000 people die every year from medical errors in the U.S. alone. That is the equivalent of two jumbo jets crashing every day. Worldwide, human error is the third leading cause of death behind heart disease and cancer.
Unfortunately, society usually responds to this type of news with a 'who can we blame?' headline. In other words, the focus is on the person, not the systems. As a consequence, those believed to be at fault are often retrained, disciplined and sometimes even fired. Regardless, the underlying systems usually remain unchanged. Mistakes continue to happen and risks continue to escalate.
A real-life example about syringe drivers, which are frequently used in palliative care to deliver medicines over a fixed time period, reinforces the long-term hazards of a blame-first culture. The syringe is loaded and the injection rate set - a patient received rapid dosing because the flow rate had been incorrectly set at 15 ml/hr instead of at 1.5 ml/hr. This is a small error with a big impact.
How did it happen? When setting the flow rate, the nurse added an extra decimal point entering 1..5, which is easily done. Recognizing her mistake, she hit 'backspace' to remove the renegade decimal point. Most people would likely have done the same. Unfortunately, this action unintentionally removed both decimal points, leaving a flow rate of 15 ml/hr. In the context of the multiple distractions of a busy hospital ward, in addition to potential stress and fatigue, the nurse didn't notice the mistake.
The nurse was fired due to gross negligence, but the systems were not re-evaluated. No one considered redesigning the equipment or building in system safeguards to prevent a repeat incident. People make mistakes for a reason. Over complexity, poor process design, stress and anxiety - the list is endless. If errors are to be prevented, focus must be on the system, not the person.
Regulatory Pressures
Pharmaceutical regulators are getting increasingly frustrated by repeat errors and the focus on the person, not the system. This viewpoint is made crystal clear in the GMP guidelines enforced by EU regulators, illustrated specifically in this excerpt from the EU GMP's Volume 4, 1.4 xiv (redacted):
An appropriate level of root cause analysis should be applied during the investigation of deviations... in cases where the true root cause(s)... cannot be determined; consideration should be given to identifying the most likely root cause(s)... Where human error is suspected or identified as the cause, this should be justified having taken care to ensure that process, procedural or system based errors or problems have not been overlooked.
The regulation requires that if you conclude that people are to blame for mistakes, you have the data to rule out over-complexity, poor process design, inappropriate KPIs and other causes. What the regulators are expecting to see is a comprehensive investigation and to make sure the real root cause is identified, before attributing any deviation to human error.
Reducing Error Bills and Repeat Deviations
Error reduction isn't a single project, but a matter of corporate culture. It requires a lot of effort, but is ultimately less work than continually fixing errors. One smaller pharmaceutical company estimated the cost of human error to be approximately $2.2 million per year and another large multinational company with multiple sites in excess of $150 million.
NSF Health Sciences Pharma Biotech Consulting is fortunate to work with the very best companies and organizations that have successfully reduced their error bill, repeat deviations and legacy risk. We've studied their methods and identified their top ten error practices, which include the 'error chain' and 'latent failures'. NSF's human error prevention services provide practical tools and techniques to help reduce so-called human error and repeat deviations (www.nsfhumanerrorprevention.org ), which can save significant costs and protect companies from severe regulatory action. Our public/residential courses have been attended by delegates from seven regulatory agencies and from over 350 companies.
An NSF client who attended a customized workshop reduced repeat errors by 68 percent to less than five percent in 18 months, saving $900,000 in direct labor costs which is still falling. This is a typical example of what can be achieved by using NSF's services. In summary, human error is only the symptom, never the real cause of quality problems. It is the starting point of an investigation, never the conclusion. Pharmaceutical companies need to learn the tools and techniques on how to prevent repeat incidents and get better informed about human error, causes and prevention.

LONDON (Reuters) - Anglo-Swedish pharmaceutical firm AstraZeneca <AZN.L> said on Friday its chief executive Pascal Soriot would host a results call with reporters on July 27, after refusing to comment on speculation this week that he was leaving the firm.
"AstraZeneca will announce its first half 2017 financial results at 07:00 BST (0600 GMT) on Thursday, 27 July 2017," the company said in an invitation to reporters.
"You are invited to participate in a media teleconference hosted by Pascal Soriot, CEO, to discuss the results."
AstraZeneca has repeatedly declined to comment on Wednesday's Israeli media report saying Soriot was in talks to join Israel's Teva Pharmaceutical Industries <TEVA.TA>.
Uncertainty over Soriot's future has hit AstraZeneca's shares.

I just checked out that Wind Map, because I thought it looked cool.
It's probably nothing, but I found it somewhat interesting that Yellowstone seemed to be the exact center of the wind in virtually the entire US, east of the Appalachians.
Thinking of it in context with geologic activity, it's kinda creepy.
It is a little odd, isn't it? It's probably just a quirk of the patterns, but it was something to share since we had a cam view from the ground at the same time, eh?
For what it's worth, it looked much stranger when Sandy was hitting New York. The whole eastern half of the United States and west Atlantic had currents in a virtual vortex right over a spot in Pennsylvania. I wonder if the people below these points of overlap even notice anything different? I've never heard of it in reverse, anyway. Where people saw something weird, THEN someone looked to find a convergence, so maybe it's all in the upper levels and out of sight?
Still, it is interest just how many wacky ways the wind blows and across large areas of the same land mass.

The western US has 2 super volcanoes, out of 7 worldwide (long valley and yellowstone).
reply to post by TrueAmerican
Wrong direction.... west IMHO if you're in the States.....
Well how about we wait until they raise it, then we can debate which direction on a case by case basis depending on wind direction at the time. No, make that- YOU guys can debate it. I'll be long gone in a cave somewhere by then. But no worries, I'll leave a thread at ATS for yas to pick at before I go.edit on Sun Mar 30th 2014 by TrueAmerican because: (no reason given)

Thomas Jordan said the following.
it's a myth that big quakes — like Friday's 5.1 in La Habra — release the stress on faults. "They don't relieve the pressures that cause earthquakes very much
Perhaps you ask him. He looks to be more qualified to answer your query than a fellow ATSer.
Just sayin'
reply to post by 0bserver1
The western US has 2 super volcanoes, out of 7 worldwide (long valley and yellowstone). Then add to that all of those in Washington and all of the major fault systems in the Western US - it's definitely a hot spot for potential disaster. It's simply not known what can or will trigger it but I'm thinking experts will have a good idea before it happens. If we begin to see a quick uplift or harmonic tremors they will let us know. Then - not sure what people would do since there wouldn't be much one could do.
OK...been watching/listening to the BBC link I posted...can somebody confirm the following please?.... 7.5 in 1959, 6.0 1975.....no eruption.....so.....why are we worrying about this one? My argument is...it's not the size of quake that counts...it's the last straw that ruptures the camels back.
True....you know I respect and admire your work with volcanoes...but when it comes to the politics....I'm not so sure my friend that they would tell us.....it's far to big a logistical problem if she blows big style to evacuate the immediate territory....
The good thing about a quake and aftershocks is that it releases the pressure. This means that the so-called "imminent" explosion of Yellowstone which will, according to some theorists, destroy half the North American continent is still a long way off. We should only begin to worry if quakes like this one occur repeatedly over the span of the next few days and weeks.
reply to post by violet
It really goes above and beyond that the staff at yellowstone (and the U if U/USGS) have responded to this quake so thoroughly. Even to go as far as to address speculation about of buffalo migrating out of the park. They usually ignore those rumors. Couple that with their quick turn around on a report. They had a preliminary report the next day and a full one two days after. Maybe there wasn't much to decipher this time around.
They really are working hard to reassure - even though they shouldn't have to with some things. Same thing with being transparent with the helium thing. They know we're concerned and clearly care enough to keep us all on track with reality.

Ruthless Small Business Bookkeeper Strategies Exploited
If you're likely to be in business, you must understand how to keep score. Based on where your company is at this present moment, it might be time for you to outsource your bookkeeping. It is extremely easy for a profitable business to go under because it does not have sufficient cash on-hand to fulfill its present financial obligations.
The 5-Minute Rule for Small Business Bookkeeper
Make certain the education level of your solution matches the requirements of your organization today and later on. My company is somewhat intricate and involves the delivery of several different services and products. All too frequently, a little company will sacrifice positive cash flow to meet up short-term crisis needs and might never recover. If you operate a more compact business, odds are you're constantly micromanaging and working to continue to keep your company over the water, especially financially.
You already know what type of services that you could offer. Several of these services aren't provided by your ordinary bookkeeper, and all these and more can enable you to be more or less hands-on in your financials. Many services in many distinct industries outsource to decrease their costs.
For a little business to genuinely succeed, you require great bookkeeping to keep an eye on all your account info and all money flowing in and out of the company. Online bookkeeping provides numerous beneficial services and you have the luxury of picking and choosing what servicesand support you would like for your organization. If you do your own bookkeeping, it is vital that you select the appropriate software.
Bookkeeping is readily confused with accounting because the accounting procedure contains the bookkeeping feature, but bookkeeping is only a portion of the accounting procedure. As a result, it can be a good business year in and year out. Bookkeeping and accounting are jobs that are simple to reveal your value. A terrific 21st-century bookkeeping and accounting solution has the capacity to conduct most of your financial business electronically.
The Benefits of Small Business Bookkeeper
Employing a professional bookkeeper is a prudent alternative for a company owner. A skilled bookkeeper will understand how to structure your books in such a way as to offer the utmost feedback on your company effects. A wonderful bookkeeper is always likely to be thinking 10 steps ahead, enabling you to prevent problems rather than simply working with you to solve them. Choosing a full-time bookkeeper within this situation may be the perfect answer for you.
The Argument About Small Business Bookkeeper
You may be a competent bookkeeper and have several years of experience within the field, but it doesn't always mean that you can be a thriving entrepreneur. To be productive, independent bookkeepers have to be thorough, dependable and accurate along with skilled in using accounting and sometime spreadsheet program. The educated bookkeeper will want to grow with you and your organization. A small small business bookkeeper can manage your financial tracking so you can concentrate on the opposite responsibilities you have within the corporation.
Small Business Bookkeeper and Small Business Bookkeeper – The Perfect Combination
You need to consult an accountant before you begin. Your accountant may want for you to use a program that works with the system he or she uses. He may have a recommendation.

Maryland lawmakers say they'll introduce bill legalizing marijuana
(WJLA) - In Annapolis Thursday, Maryland Sen. Jamie Raskin and other lawmakers outlined their plans to propose taxing and regulating marijuana.
"We are wasting law enforcement resources that could be spend and should be spent on serious violent crimes and white collar crimes," Raskin said.
It comes just one day after a District of Columbia City Council committee advanced legislation to decriminalize the possession of small amounts of pot. The bill now moves on to the full Council.
"The ultimate goal here is not to allow simple possession of marijuana to destroy someone's life," said Councilmember Mary Cheh, (D) Ward 3.
Just a few miles away in Prince George's County, County Executive Rushern Baker told NewsChannel 8's Whitney Wild that he is intrigued by the idea of decriminalizing pot.
"Certainly I support decriminalization," Baker said. "You have a number of people with a small amount of marijuana and they have a criminal record at a time when we're trying to do something about our returning citizens."
Baker says what happens in the District will have a major influence on bills in Maryland.
"I think decriminalization, and making sure we're not exacerbating our criminal problem," Baker said.
Some residents say they're split.
"I'm neutral on (decriminalization)," said Michael Connors, an Oxon Hill resident.
"I do not support but I may not oppose that," Michael Connors, an Oxon Hill resident.
Keith Payne, who lives at National Harbor, says he doesn't support legalizing or decriminalizing marijuana.
"I'm not really a fan of it," he says. "There's a reason why it's banned now."
According to the Marijuana Policy Project, there were more than 20,000 arrests for pot possession in Maryland in 2012.
As interest in decriminalizing and legalizing the drug grows, Baker says he's watching closely.
"I think it's a wait and see with what happens in Colorado in taking it any further than that," he said.

Global Hydrophilic Coating Market: Overview
The hydrophilic coating is coating applied to the medical devices such as cannulas, guide wires, and catheters as it is receptive to moisture and low friction coating. Medical devices may cause less inflammation and damage when operating on a patient. Hydrophilic coatings show water-attracting characteristics when it reacts with water from hydrogel material that is lubricious, wettable in nature, and suitable for biological interactions. Other than this, hydrophilic coatings are used in optical devices such as outdoor displays, camera windows, outdoor surveillance and others. In addition, it used in automotive parts such as rear-view mirrors and body for glazing as an anti-fog agent.
Global Hydrophilic Coating Market: Growth Factors
Conventional lubricative coatings include glycerin and silicone oils that possess many disadvantages; hence, hydrophilic coatings have emerged as a better option that drives the global hydrophilic coating market growth. They are extensively used in the range of application as optical devices, automotive, medical devices, and others further enhancing consumption of hydrophilic coatings. Automotive manufacturers are continuously motivated to enhance performance and safety of the vehicle, which in turn may positively influence the global hydrophilic coating market growth. Hydrophilic coatings play a vital role in safety & precautions and appearance of the vehicle. On regular use, these coatings lose its lubrication and get separated from medical equipment, causing discomfort and high injury risk; this is a major restraining factor of the global hydrophilic coating market.
Global Hydrophilic Coating Market: Segmentation
The global hydrophilic coating market is divided based on the application as optical devices, medical equipment, and automotive. Based on the substrate, the global market is classified as metals, polymers, glass/ceramics, and nanoparticles. The metal segment is further sub-segmented as platinum, stainless steel, zinc, and nickel. The polymer segment is further sub-segmented as polyesters, nylon, polyamides, kevlar, polysiloxanes, and others. Moreover, the glass/ceramics segment is sub-segmented as porcelain, and borosilicate glass.
Global Hydrophilic Coating Market: Regional Analysis
North America holds largest market share in the global hydrophilic coating market, whereas Western Europe accounted for the significant share globally.

What to CookIndian
When You're Tempted to Eat Eggs for Dinner, Make This Instead
I treat my canned tomatoes like family—I lean on them, I love them unconditionally—but sometimes I need a little push to set them aside. They tend not to talk back much, and, once in a while, I like a little sass.
If I'm not running in and out of bodegas in my neighborhood looking for international ingredients—or later, head hung only slightly, googling reasonable substitutions for same—I'm too tempted to cook only what I know.
Which is what I reminded myself as I went in and out, up and down an avenue near my apartment. I repeated it, too, when I texted my boyfriend "no tamarind paste!!!!!???" (I'd find out later he was sitting on a stash of the stuff, like a goblin on a pile of gold, in preparation for a birthday dinner he'd make me from the Pok Pok book a week later. Forgiven.)
The push for this search came from Piglet finalist Made in India, and it's more accurate to call it a cooing nudge: Author Meera Sodha has a voice that soothes as she guides—she's holding your hand, but you still feel independent crossing the street. When I'm making something new, I want at least the delusion that I'm flying solo, lest I never gain the confidence to take pieces of the dish and apply them to many more, or to make the same recipe again, the next time blindfolded.
I was making her egg curry dish, an amalgam of many of my favorite things: sweet, slick caramelized onions, rich coconut milk, medium-cooked eggs (the latter being what I know to be dinner, five nights a week). And I followed her instructions for rice, too, having been won over by Sadie Stein's Piglet review:
Made in India taught me how to cook perfect rice, every time. I've always been one of those rice-phobes, otherwise competent in the kitchen but unable to turn out a batch that wasn't crunchy or gluey or some horrid mixture of the two. But Sodha's "Perfect Basmati Rice" was exactly that. And using her "grains of wisdom on cooking the perfect rice" (yes) I have replicated the achievement again and again, making rice constantly and on the slightest pretext. It seems like a small thing, but a book that can demystify a process, lay it out and ensure consistency, has managed a lot.
I never did find tamarind paste that night, but I learned that a mixture of equal parts lime juice and brown sugar works well enough in a pinch. And I did nail the rice: fluffy, with each grain distinct and living its best, barely toasted life—it was as royal a treatment as I'd ever given any grain, and it paid off.
My canned tomatoes will live another day, but at this rate, that day will be in Sodha's Bombay Eggs—her spicier version of shakshuka. I'll start sourcing the ingredients now.

As we await the arrival of the rumoured BlackBerry Z10 at the end of January, little information has been shared about pricing. But according to a new leak, it will be £30 less than an unlocked iPhone 5.
Engadget obtained an internal screenshot of the phone listed off-contract and SIM-free (unlocked) for £480 (or $750 USD) at Carphone Warehouse. The model number BLAZ10WHI matches up with previous leaks.
RIM is set to officially unveil its BlackBerry 10 operating system and the first two devices that will carry it on 30 January in several countries around the world.
BlackBerry 10 and the BlackBerry Z10 have already been completely exposed by several leaks online. The touchscreen Z10 - with the BlackBerry X10 being the Qwerty keyboard-touting phone of the launch duo - has a 4.2-inch display. The 1280 x 768 pixel resolution is pretty impressive, giving 355ppi so it should be nice and sharp, and it's powered by a dual-core 1.5GHz OMAP 4470 processor with 2GB of RAM.
Prospective carriers to host the handsets have leaked worldwide in recent months, with all the major networks confirming in the UK, T-Mobile, Verizon, and AT&T in the US, and Virgin Mobile in Canada possibly hosting at least some of the six devices RIM plans to roll out over 2013.
Pocket-lint will be covering the event live on 30 January, bringing you the latest as it happens.
Are you interested in BlackBerry 10?

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Separate eggs carefully, putting whites in a large mixing bowl and yolks in another large mixing bowl. Beat egg yolks until light and foamy. Slowly add the water. Gradually beat in the sugar, then vanilla and/or almond extract; beat until pale and thick in texture (total beating time can be as long as 7 minutes). Sift flour again with salt and baking powder. Return to sifter and fold flour mixture into egg yolk mixture, sifting in a little at a time.
Beat egg whites gently until foamy. Add a pinch of salt and the cream of tartar. Increase the mixer speed and beat until they form moist, glossy peaks.
Pour the egg yolk mixture in thin stream over the entire surface of the egg white mixture, gently cutting and folding with rubber spatula, making sure everything is completely folded. Pour into an ungreased 10-inch round tube pan with a removable bottom. Draw a thin spatula gently through the batter to get rid of any large air pockets.
Bake on the second rack from the bottom of the oven for 1 hour. (The cake tends to fall a small amount after 50 minutes, so do not worry.)
Invert pan onto a rack and let cool out of the pan for 1 1/2 hours. Frost when cake is completely cooled. If desired, garnish cake with orange peel or zest.
Combine butter and sugar in a medium bowl. Add just enough orange juice to thin the frosting to a spreading consistency.

If people have been following the story line of the ABC series "Scandal", one of the plots was the substitution of preprogrammed chips, intended to register the tally of votes electronically while providing a printout to the voter, that declared an extraordinarily high count for one candidate over the other. The printout registered what the voter had actually had selected, while the tally was skewed for a different candidate.
One suspects a similar fraud took place in a number of districts where ordinarily, Republicans would be fully competitive, but some mysteriously large margins were recorded that did not square with numbers of each bloc of voters.
Unless such fraud is detected and widely exposed, this has just become the new normal for elections.
But of course, that is just silly, and "couldn't happen" here.
No conspiracy. Because if conspiracy does not exist everywhere, it exists nowhere.
I haven't seen that program but I have no doubts whatsoever that this past election was stolen by fraud, probably a lot of it very similar to what you described.

Hi Danny,
I'm glad to see that you're making progress. My need for a new solution became more urgent today... I've been using Growl to push notifications from HaikuHelper since iOS push stopped working, but for some reason that I have yet to figure out, Growl also stopped working early this morning. I don't know if they're having server issues on their end or if something else is broken, but now I have no notifications, and that's a big problem!
How close do you think you are to letting some of us beta test your new app?
Can you add me to the beta test list too? I am running Haiku/Haiku Helper with my Omni II Pro system and would love to see a more modern implementation with support for iOS and Apple's HomeKit and Siri also Alexa). Your Myro:Home product sounds amazing. Any idea at this point when you anticipate releasing it? Let me know. Thanks
Still not working I tried INDU and ^DJI for the Dow Jones Industrial. What Dow Jones symbol did you test with? Do I need to update the software version?

Lou Hooper
Louis Stanley Hooper, jazz pianist, composer, teacher (born 18 May 1894 in North Buxton, ON; died 17 September 1977 in Charlottetown, PE).
Lou (Louis Stanley) Hooper. Pianist, composer, teacher, of African, Cree, and Irish descent, b North Buxton, near Windsor, Ont, 18 May 1894, d Charlottetown 17 Sep 1977; B MUS (Detroit Cons) 1920. His father, James Rouen Hooper, a violinist in Canada for some 20 years, took him at three to Ypsilanti, Mich, where he sang solos in church and at 12 played the trombone in the Hooper Brothers Orchestra with his older brothers Fred, a trumpeter, and Arnold, a violinist. While he was studying piano 1911-21 at the Detroit Cons with LaVerne Brown, Minor White, and F.L. York, he played in various local dance and theatre orchestras. His studies were interrupted in 1918 by service in Europe with a US Army concert party. Hooper wrote the oratorio Ruth (1920, see Oratorio composition) for his B MUS.
He lived 1921-7 in Harlem (New York), studying 1923-4 at the Martin-Smith Music School (a subsidiary of the Damrosch Institute - later the Juilliard School). He recorded with Elmer Snowden (banjo) and Bob Fuller (clarinet) under several names, eg, the Three Jolly Miners, the Three Monkey Chasers, for Vocalion, Columbia, etc (see Roll Back the Years) and also backed the trumpeters Johnny Dunn and Louis Metcalf, the singers Ethel Waters, Ma Rainey, Mamie Smith, and other leading jazz and blues performers of the day. Hooper accompanied Paul Robeson on tour in 1926 and travelled as a member of Lew Leslie's Blackbirds of 1928, a revue which closed in 1929 in His Majesty's Theatre in Montreal.
After working in Detroit Hooper returned to Canada in 1932, living first in Toronto - he performed at the 1932 CNE - and then, as of 1933, in Montreal, where he joined Myron Sutton's Canadian Ambassadors, an all-black dance band active in Quebec and Ontario. Hooper formed and conducted a male choir, the Hooper Southern Singers, in concerts and on CKAC radio. He also played in local dance and jazz bands and taught piano. Oscar Peterson was one of his pupils. After a term in Europe during World War II with the Royal Canadian Artillery in which he served mainly as a pianist and entertainer in charge of Canadian concert parties, Hooper returned to Montreal, playing and teaching in increasing obscurity.
In 1962 he was rediscovered by Montreal jazz enthusiasts and subsequently celebrated as a surviving link to the early history of recorded jazz. He was honored by the International Association of Record Collectors in 1973 and by the Canadian Congress of Collectors in 1977. A new recording, the LP Lou Hooper (1973, RCI 380), a collection of ragtime pieces, included his own Black Cat Blues, The Cakewalk, South Sea Strut, and Uncle Remus Stomp. According to Tex Wyndam in Coda (March 1976): 'Although slightly on the academic and restrained side, the solos have a firm, bright rhythm, are cleanly executed, and generate a mood of confidence and good cheer'. Other Hooper rags date to as late as 1975, the year in which he joined the faculty of the University of Prince Edward Island. He also wrote a ballet, Congo, staged in 1976. In the summer before his death he was a regular performer on CBC (Halifax) TV's 'The Old-Fashioned New-Fangled Vaudeville Show'.

Constantly striving for perfection, and lets be honest it doesn't come much closer, their passion is in creating a holiday cottage destination they themselves would like to discover on their travels.

It is this perfect balance and attention to detail that makes an escape to The Cottages an experience to be cherished and a lasting memory.

The Block – Chantelle And Steve Are In A World Of Pain
The producers of The Block must be breaching some United Nations treaty by having Chantelle and Steve on the show as it must be torture for them all day and everyday.
Last week they did not get their first bedroom finished and Neale Whittaker called it "claustrophobic" and they have been struggling from day one. I suppose they can be consoled by the fact that the judges did like their lights they had made the best.
Now they are struggling with their bathroom, laundry and terrace with wood going missing and also Keith's builders making a lift shaft which means they are impacting on their area. Did I hear it right regarding the lift? Why does the building need one surely they can all walk up stairs. Who would want the increase in strata fees that occurs when you have a lift.
Chantelle is now realising that having cameras thrust in your face 24/7 is not fun and she thinks this and the lack of sleep is inhibiting her creativity. Whereas Steve just wants to build things but can't. Two weeks in and his ethics are getting shonky with him telling his builder to take some of Kyal's wood. However Kyal has his marked.
What gets me with all the cameras around no one ever gets busted for stealing stuff. Wasn't this a drama on The Block Sky High last year?
Kyal and Kara's halo has fallen with the dimensions of their bathroom being wrong so they have a toilet dilemma. Brad and Dale's relaxed attitude has seen a similar problem occur for them.
Lysandra and Alisa at this stage remain the golden girls. They won the room reveal with the stairs giving their room the edge over the others and now they are relaxed and comfortable about their bathroom. Surely they must come a cropper soon.
Did you think the right team won the room reveal? Should Chantelle and Steve be getting more support from Keith?
The Block weeknights at 7.30pm.

I think this season of the Block is appalling. Its one thing having a defined structure and another having a free for all.
A better outcome would have been for there to have been a defined layout (with the plumbing!!!) then allow the team to adjust (with consultation with an architect).
I blame the production for the BS about the plumbing as someone must have know drilling those holes would cause some issues with fire wall etc.
Stealing materials: again standard Block subplot. Seriously, if you or your contractors are caught doing it deduct points. It will stop.
Again, enough with the drama with S&C. They should have been given a list of builders and told them to pick from there. Though I think for this Block the production should have gone less photogenic and more skills appropriate for the job.
It wasn't as though production didn't know there would be issues with C&S as for the elimination round they were the third weakest team (aka the QLD miners should have got in before them).
Lift shaft should have been done prior to filming.

Is the lift communal? How does that work? Is it just for transport up to the rooftop terrace and down to the pool maybe?
- 3 Erin { 02.11.14 at 12:06 pm }
I really like The Block, i think the concept for the show is great, however, I'm starting to get a little bored with it!!
Nothing really happened last night, expect tiles being picked and some holes drilled in the wrong places!!
I'd like to see them try a week of changing up the editing and focusing one couple each night of the week, and then we could see their progress from start to finish (without actually seeing the final product – having to wait until Sunday room reveal. ) Obviously they would still show interaction between the couples, but at least then you would see a bit more of the design / building side of things.
- 4 PollyB { 02.11.14 at 12:16 pm }
This whole setup is BS. All "Keith's" works are known in advance and should have been done in advance. The plumbing being drilled in the wrong place is a setup. S&C, with no reno experience are chosen over other possibles. Purely for the 'drama'. I am so sick of hearing Scott Cam. It is all voiceover work this year. Every possible product is highlighted, manufactured drama from the get go. This could have been a great series due to the concept but it is so far crap.
Erin – I agree, one couple each night so we can see their progress.
Thank god for recording is all I can say.

I'm actually finding it quite uncomfortable watching this season. I think the idea of 'creating' apartments in this huge old building was the first mistake. I miss the days of the semi's side by side. Maybe that's just me. Then I think the nice mining couple that DID know what they were doing were ripped off being put up against Kyle and Kara. Chantelle and Steve are SO out of their depth – this constant reminder by the show to us 'and hey, they have NO renovation experience what so ever' is now like nails on a chalkboard. I'm feeling SO damn sorry for them – it's like watching mice in a python tank. Are Ch 9 and The BLock folks not aware this is really quite uncomfortable viewing. Drama is one thing, but it just seems like Chantelle and Steve have been thrown into the deep end with no swimming skills and the show is just standing around watching them drown.
Big mistake Ch 9! The reason I'm not tweeting to your show is it's NOT FUN! Lets face it – really The Block is a design and decorating show. Just watch the first few seasons of the show. Very limited building and tradie stuff – more shopping and interior design. I really am not interested in plumbing. That's why I hire a plumber!!!
- 7 Danielle { 02.11.14 at 3:35 pm }
It does say in the TV week that C&S walk off after 3 weeks. It sounds like they continue to come 4th in the room reveal and that effects their confidence. They are getting help from the favourites but they seem to be unused to high stress.
If it were me I would learn some basic interior design skills most importantly do something really stressful for a few weeks to see how you react and develop strategies for coping with stress.
But I thought the block stopped using couples without renovating experience. I thought that was part of the audition.
- 8 Peg { 02.11.14 at 4:36 pm }
Firstly, I think you'd want a lift in a three story apartment when the only alternative is a spiral staircase.
Chantelle and Steve make me so stressed and frustrated just watching them. Because the block has now changed from a renovating/design show to a full on building show in the lat few series, all the couples NEED to have proper renovating experience. Otherwise it's just not enjoyable to watch.
Obstacles and challenges set up by the producers does not make good television to me.
The show desperately needs to quit using irratating graphics and game show segments. They are so repetitive and unamusing. Half the show is recaps. We know Kyal's a chippy, we know the twins were cops, we know Brad and Dale competed with their wives last time, we know Chantelle and Steve have no renovating experience, we know they had trouble finding a builder. Why do they find the need to remind us all the time.
Saying all this, i still enjoy the show, but only when i have the option of fast forward.
- 9 Agent 86 { 02.11.14 at 4:49 pm }
My other comment was eaten by the internet monster!
I liked the Super Ks room the best. I thought the stairs, tiny "study" and small wardrobe in the twins room were all impractical. The boys room was okay, but poorly styled and shouldn't have been equal to the Super Ks. Chantelle and Steve … well perhaps it's time for them to retire from The Block.
I agree with the other comments about the ridiculous premise of dropping inexperienced participants into a shell (without a roof) and expecting them to determine the placement of all internal walls, electrical wiring, plumbing, etc. Sure, it creates "drama", but I don't want to see participants suffer health issues (physical and mental) because Channel 9 think that tears = higher ratings.
- 10 Agent 86 { 02.11.14 at 4:51 pm }
And I agree with Peg. This show is only enjoyable/watchable when you have the option of fast forwarding through all the nonsense and there are copious amounts of nonsense!
- 11 Zhee { 02.11.14 at 8:55 pm }
I think the twins' and "Super K's" rooms were by far the best. Especially the fans's room looked fantastic. I think they will produce the very best bathroom in like forevahhhh on The Block (as mentioned in the promo). Kara really has a very good eye. The twins's room with the stairs was quite cool. I just wish there had been more storage. They boys' room was okay. C&S's was…like baking a cake and mixing up sugar with salt and forgetting the baking powder. I hated the room. First I thought: That barn door sounds so cool. Then we saw them shopping that horrid bed/desk combo. Yeah, practical but so ugly.
And yup, it becomes awfully repetitive. And I really can't stand watching Chantelle and Steve. It's like a car crash. However I think they will walk away from the show and then return. Although I was hoping they will not return and they bring in the miner couple which I really liked.
I can't feel sorry for C&S, they knew before hat they will most likely be up to. From season to season the objetcs to be renovated became more ridiculous. Why apply for a show when you have no clue what you do? It's the same when I would apply for a show called "Match the Matrix Algebra".
- 12 Jane { 02.11.14 at 10:40 pm }
I really love The Block. Never miss it. I hope someone from Channel Nine reads this STOP RUINING THE BLOCK!!! Stop showing previews of what happens in the future and ruining it!!!! You make out that Steve and Chantelle leave then show a clip that shows them in judging. You show rooms and judges comments and it RUINS the show Cut the scripted drama!!! I do love the fact that the couples aren't whinging children like last year. There is a more adult feel this season than the school yard crap that went on last time.

"The Block – Chantelle And Steve Are In A World Of Pain"
I have a feeling that this will be the title for every Block recap this season. I really feel sorry for S&C. I know that I would be feeling the same way if I were in their shoes. I have no "building" experience and I crack under pressure. At the end of the day you can be the biggest fan of The Block, but that will not help you when it comes to being on the show.
- 14 Joseph Skyrim { 02.12.14 at 8:17 am }
Is it wrong that when I read the title, Gary Mehigan's voice came into my head? 😛
- 15 Tell It Like It Is { 02.12.14 at 12:08 pm }
Joseph – ha ha Gary Meaghan's voice. I love it.
I wonder if this blog can employ a friend or relative to be proof-reader. It bugs me that every blog has typos & errors…
The Block so far this season… agree with others that the most irritating factors are:
– the repeated "previews" and "reviews" which take up so much screen time (thankfully we also tape and watch later with the fast-forward button at the ready)
– the ridiculous large projects like lifts and roof that should be done before the filming starts, it just makes the build look like amateur hour
– the bloody challenges which are juvenile, wasteful and not very entertaining… I could do without those.
I want to see more of how the couples decide & plan their layouts with a view to designing a cohesive apartment… oh and I actually don't mind seeing quite a bit of sourcing/shopping!
- 16 brain dead dave { 02.12.14 at 12:23 pm }
#15….You could use a proof–reader yourself if you can't spell Gary's name.
- 17 MT { 02.12.14 at 6:55 pm }
This season is boring and ridiculous. The numerous sexual suggestions when Dale is on screen is stupid and awkward. He's a married man for goodness sake.
The twins think they are about 1000 times better looking and talented than they actually are.
I don't mind Kyal and Kara, they seem to be trying hard and doing well.
Chantelle and Steve are being given a rough edit and it probably isn't that bad really.
Brad who???
- 18 Shooey { 02.12.14 at 10:25 pm }
I find it hard to believe Steve and Chantelle are genuine fans of the show.
Tend to agree with another contributor's observation that they seem to have wandered on set from another show.
Although they seem a nice couple, Chantelle is a real loop de loop and Steve just doesn't want to be there – it is SO obvious.
he looks like he is on the verge of tears all the time.
Something very strange and not quite right about this whole season.
There have been too many stuff-ups already AND all the stuff-ups are to be happening to s&C.
We also know, thanks to the ads which seem to give away a lot of the story!, that they move out of The Block.
I am not enjoying this season at all.
And quite frankly, with so many mistakes in the construction of these apartments why oh why would anyone want to buy there!
- 19 whingy whiners { 02.13.14 at 8:26 pm }
Steve and Chantelle are terribly whiny sooks. What did they expect? Tough edits or not, they just let things happen. There is no productive activity. They're tired, emotional, not in a good place…. Well boo hoo… excuses excuses…
Bad form people.

Bring Back 'Moose Murders'!
Revisiting John Simon's review of the notorious 1983 Broadway flop.
"Titanically bad!' "The worst play I've ever seen!" "Abysmally imbecile!" Such were the reviews for Moose Murders, 1983's legendary Broadway flop, revisited in today's Times by Campbell Robertson in a piece about the show's afterlife as performance art in
a bowling alley an arts center* in Rochester. Reading Robertson's discussion of the show's epically awful notices — and reading Frank Rich's vicious Times review, which has helpfully been linked to the piece — made us nostalgic for a time when reviewers would trash a show without worrying about hurting anyone's feelings. The show made such an impression on Rich that he trashed it again a month later, even though the play closed on opening night!
Today's piece made us wonder: If Frank Rich was this mean, what on earth did New York's John Simon think of the play? So we dug up his review to find out.
It's a keeper, all right; our favorite part might be where he openly mocked the Texas rubes he'd heard funded the show, and vividly described the "enormous, pear-shaped individual" who stumbled into the preview late and covered in vomit. "Moose Murders," Simon wrote, "is the only stage play I ever saw presented in stereo-odoriferous Smellovision."
But what's that we smell? We hope it's … a revival! Surely we'll be seeing this new, ironic production of Moose Murders at the Fringe next summer, right? We can only hope so.

Swimmer Kanter wins two senior gold medals
By Dennis Hill
Published in Sports on November 25, 2012 1:52 AM
Jerry Kanter isn't the kind of athlete who lets anything get in his way, especially his age.
At 85, Kanter recently brought home two gold medals from the North Carolina Senior Games in Cary, winning both the 50-yard freestyle and the 500-yard freestyle in the men's 85-89 division.
Kanter, who once played baseball at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the 1940s and was a minor league player for a time, only took up competitive swimming in 1987, soon after the Goldsboro Family YMCA opened.
A native of Kinston, the retired businessman and aviator, said he swims not just to keep his body in shape but to keep his spirits up and his psyche sharp.
He is no ordinary athlete. At his age, most men are just managing to get around. Kanter is swimming laps around them.
"Jerry is a go-getter, a real inspiration for other people," said Kriquette Davis of the YMCA. "He never gives up. He's bound and determined that he's going to excel at whatever he does."
Kanter said he learned to swim as a boy in Kinston, in a slough behind an old cotton mill.
"We used to swim naked," he recalled, laughing. "We didn't have any money for bathing suits."
He later played several sports at old Grainger High School in Kinston and later was a walk-on on the UNC baseball team, playing behind a fellow by the name of Charlie "Choo Choo" Justice.
He played several sports, but started swimming at the age of 58 "because I got bored to death. I like competition."
He managed the pool at the Kinston Country Club for 22 years. The Family YMCA gave him a place to practice competitively and he was one of the first to join the facility when it opened in the mid-1980s.
Now he is an advisor for the Woodmen of the World Community Center in Kinston, which is planning to build a pool to rival Goldsboro's -- eight 25-yard lanes and a championship certified Olympic-size pool classification.
Kanter said he encourages other elderly people to stretch themselves, not to just sit back and let old age take over.
"You don't have an excuse," he said. "Older people ought to be doing something other than just waiting for the grass to grow."
And he is a big supporter of the Goldsboro YMCA, saying it gave him the motivation to take up competitive swimming as a way to keep himself sharp in his "declining" years.
"This has meant a lot to my health," he said. "There's no better facility around. One of the finest pools in the United States is in Goldsboro."

The RVK series is designed for installation in ducts. The casing is manufactured from PA6 fibreglass reinforced plastic which gives the fan a less leckage casing. Duct connected wet room applications of the fan are possible due to the air tight casing and the IP 44 rated terminal box.The fans have backward-curved blades and external rotor motors. The FK mounting clamp facilitates easy installation and removal, and prevents the transfer of vibration to the duct. The fans can be speed-controlled via a stepless thyristor or a 5-step transformer. To protect the motor from overheating RVK 100E2-A1 and 125E2-A1 have integrated thermal contacts with automatic reset. The models RVK 125E2-L1 up to RVK 315 have thermal contacts with manual reset.

Job opportunities for retired people include working from home as virtual assistants, pet sitters and customer service representatives. Jobs outside the home include crossing guards, security guards and bartenders.Continue Reading
Work-at-home jobs offer retirees flexibility and employment without a commute. Such flexibility is available to virtual assistants, who set their own hours working for executives and other professionals. Their primary job is completing tasks remotely, including handling phone calls and correspondence. These positions typically require administrative experience, such as knowledge of Microsoft Office and other software.
Work-from-home jobs, such as pet sitter and customer service rep, also require no commute. However, they often require specific work hours. Pet sitters may work from their home or visit pet owners' homes, providing food, medication and exercise to pets at specific times. Retirees working as customer service reps can work part time, but they may have less flexibility than self-employed retirees. Some of these positions offer benefits.
Retirees also have job opportunities outside the home. Crossing guards work outdoors on a daily basis, interacting with children, teachers and parents. Guards work part-time in the mornings and afternoons, leaving them a break during the mid-day. Security guards work in a variety of venues, monitoring alarms and surveillance equipment. These retirees can work days or nights, either full or part time. Retirees who prefer occasional, night or weekend work can find jobs as bartenders with pubs, restaurants and catering companies.Learn more about Careers

nudity reviews for Michelle Acuna member submitted
Demon Slayer (2004)
At 18 minutes she removes her robe to take a bath, exposing her bare breasts. A minute or so later we see her lying the the tub, again exposing breasts. Another minute or so and we see her stand up (camera views from the chest up) and see her breasts again. Well lit, but not lengthy.
