The G-Man presents
a low trees promotion
Angel Olsen
+ special guest Tim Darcy
Angel Olsen brings the songs of third studio album, MY WOMAN, to Cork with an Opera House date set for Summer 2017. Having made her official solo bow with an intimate The G-Man presents… concert in little sister venue The Half Moon in 2013, this will be Olsen's third Cork appearance.
Anyone reckless enough to have typecast Angel Olsen according to 2013's Burn Your Fire For No Witness is in for a sizeable surprise with her third album, MY WOMAN. The crunchier, blown-out production of the former is gone, but that fire is now burning wilder. Her disarming, timeless voice is even more front-and-centre than before, and the overall production is lighter. Yet the strange, raw power and slowly unspooling incantations of her previous efforts remain, so anyone who might attempt to pigeonhole Olsen as either an elliptical outsider or a pop personality is going to be wrong whichever way they choose – Olsen continues to reign over the land between the two with a haunting obliqueness and sophisticated grace.
Given its title, and track names like 'Sister' and 'Woman', it would be easy to read a gender-specific message into MY WOMAN, but Olsen has never played her lyrical content straight. She explains: "I'm definitely using scenes that I've replayed in my head, in the same way that I might write a script and manipulate a memory to get it to fit. But I think it's important that people can interpret things the way that they want to."
That said, Olsen concedes that if she could locate any theme, whether in the funny, synth-laden 'Intern' or the sadder songs which are collected on the record's latter half, "then it's maybe the complicated mess of being a woman and wanting to stand up for yourself, while also knowing that there are things you are expected … to ignore, almost, for the sake of loving a man. I'm not trying to make a feminist statement with every single record, just because I'm a woman. But I do feel like there are some themes that relate to that, without it being the complete picture."
Tim Darcy
Saturday Night, the first proper solo album from Tim Darcy (Ought), comes from one of those crossroads-type moments in life where one has to walk to the edge before knowing which way to proceed. Darcy actually almost bailed on the session at the start of day one, but was thankfully convinced to make the jump and record a crop of songs he had been amassing over the years–an initial set, curated from a much wider catalogue of young songs. A personal meditation reveals itself across these songs as you feel a poetic, thoughtful person attempting to reconcile a schism, one that grows more expansive as Saturday Night flows along. It is a journey, but it's a really fun, gratifying one; like a poem where you're not supposed to know exactly how to feel at that last line and you're left just bursting with a wonderful emptiness.
As this is, in a way, a more personal introduction to Darcy despite the attention and acclaim he has with Ought, it feels worthwhile to mention his origins. Born in Arizona, he made his way to both Colorado and New Hampshire before ending up in Montreal where he found university, the city's rich DIY scene, and the other members of Ought. He began writing poetry as early as the third grade and performed often, and his first attempts at songwriting were him feeling around in the dark to set some of them to music. In Montreal, he played in various projects, his and others, before settling into a groove as the singer and guitarist of Ought.

As part of its function to consider human rights
in the United Kingdom, the Joint Committee on Human Rights examines
all bills introduced to either House with a view to reporting
to each House on their compatibility with Convention rights under
the Human Rights Act 1998, and with other rights which arise in
international law under human rights instruments by which the
United Kingdom is bound. The Committee is considering whether
to report to each House on the Data Protection (Amendment) Bill.
It has carried out an initial examination of this Bill, and would
be grateful for your comments on the following points raised by
its Legal Adviser. I should make it clear that the Committee's
remit extends to human rights in a broad sense, not just the Convention
rights under the Human Rights Act 1998.
As you know, the Bill would amend the Data Protection
Act 1998 by inserting a new section 35A into the Data Protection
Act 1998. This would exempt data controllers from obligation of
non-disclosure in respect of personal information under the Data
Protection Act 1998 when "information is requested by a Member
of Parliament pursuing casework inquiries on behalf of a named
The Bill contains no definition of "casework inquiries".
This gives rise to a significant human rights issue, as the Data
Protection Act 1998 was designed to give effect to an appropriate
level of protection to meet the requirements of Article 8(1) together
with the EC Data Protection Directive, which itself (as its Preamble
makes clear) was intended to provide effective protection for
rights in personal information against disclosure in circumstances
which you violate Article 8.
Disclosure of personal information pursuant to the
proposed new section 35A of the 1998 Act would engage the right
to respect for private life under ECHR Article 8(1). An interference
with that right would be justifiable under Article 8(2) if (a)
in accordance with the law, and (b) necessary in a democratic
society for a purpose permitted under Article 8(2). The terms
of the proposed new section 35A would be likely to be sufficiently
clear and accessible to meet the test of being "in accordance
with the law". However, the Bill does not make clear the
legitimate aim under Article 8(2) which any disclosure under proposed
new section 35A would have to pursue. As a result, the proposed
provision seems to give rise to a serious risk that the Bill would
purport to authorise an interference with Article 8 rights which
would be unjustifiable and incompatible with those rights.
Even if the aim, in a particular case, were legitimate
under Article 8(2), it would be necessary to show that there was
a pressing social need for the disclosure and that it was a proportionate
response to that need. The Bill does not seek to limit disclosures
in a way that would provide an adequate safeguard against unnecessary
or disproportionate disclosures. For example, there is no restriction
to cases where there are reasonable grounds to believe that the
disclosure would provide evidence of crime, or would enable anyone
to protect their rights, or would advance a powerful and pressing
national interest; nor is there any procedure for an independent
body to determine the need for and proportionality of the disclosure
in each case before the disclosure is made.
The Committee would be grateful for any comments
that you may wish to make on these reflections on the compatibility
of the Bill with human rights. The Committee understands the difficulties
which the sponsors of private members' bills, with limited resources,
often face in responding to questions from the Committee about
the human rights implications of their bills. Nevertheless, without
suggesting that you are under any obligation to respond to its
concerns, the Committee would of course give full weight to any
representations which you might wish to put before it.
If you wished to submit a response, the Committee
would appreciate receiving it by Friday 4 October.

2013/07/29 By Dani Gillman
Remember that old back to school commercial with the mom floating down the aisle of the office supplies store while the holiday classic "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" played? I never really appreciated that commercial until I became a parent and prepared to send my own child back to school after a long summer break.
For some children, heading back to school can bring up feelings of anxiety and uncertainty. Here are a few ways to better prepare your child with Special Needs.
1. School visit
During the weeks leading up to the first day, many teachers can be found setting up their classrooms and are often happy to receive visits and even some help from students. Walking around the school, seeing the classroom, where he or she will sit, and getting to know the teacher is a great way to alleviate some anticipatory anxiety.
2. Write a Social Story
While visiting the school, take photos of your child with the teacher, in the cafeteria, on the playground, etc. Then you can use these photos to create a more relatable social story. "At recess, I will go play on the playground" and include a photo of your child on the actual monkey bars!
3. Plan a date with a classmate
Most schools post class lists in advance of the beginning of school. Even if it's just meeting another family at the park for an hour, this is a great way to get acquainted with a new classmate or reacquainted with an old one.
4. Shop for school supplies together
Letting your child pick out her school supplies might help her feel proud of her utensils and feel reminded that she'll have items that are exclusively hers in the classroom. One more expectation to be met!
5. Write a story for the other kids
If your child will be spending time in the general education (mainstream) environment, it might be helpful for his typically developing peers to understand a bit about your child. This book can be a very basic introduction to your child.
In the book include some things about your child that makes him unique and all the things that make him just like the other kids (i.e favorite food is pizza, loves to swim and play Minecraft, etc).
You may also want to include a page about some things that are difficult for your child:
"I'm a smart girl, but some things are hard for me. I have very low muscle tone and that makes it harder for me to run, climb, talk, and write. I try really hard and I'm getting better all the time. I might need your help sometimes. Do you think you can help me?"
This book will may also be for the parents of your child's peers to help them explain your child's differences to their own kids.
Transition is hard for our kids. Hopefully these tricks and tips will help you and your child ease right into the beginning of a (hopefully) successful school year!

Going green is a trend we're all so familiar with lately. The challenge most people have is not a desire to do what's healthy for the environment, but doing it without breaking our budget. Experts suggest using energy efficient appliances, light bulbs, and heating and cooling systems, but most of us can't make such expensive changes as quickly as we would like.So what can people to to go green right now without spending additional money? Here are a few simple things you may consider doing if you'd like to save both the environment and your own money.
- Unplug unused appliances. Many appliances continue to use energy even while turned off.
- Turn off the house lights when you leave a room or house.
- Turn off the water when brushing your teeth.
- Turn down the water heater when vacationing.
- Turn down your thermostat when you are in bed or away from home.
- Fill up a bottle of water and add a few rocks or pebbles (to weigh it down) and place it in the tank of your toilet, safely away from the operating mechanisms. Each flush will use less water.
- Take shorter showers. Every minute you cut down on showering can save you 50 to 100 gallons of water.
If you have any questions, would like to discuss your financial challenges, or are just looking for advice, please call us at your convenience. As always, we are here to help and look forward to hearing from you.

Ulli Lust, Gene Luen Yang win LA Times Book Prizes
The winners of the LA Times Book Prizes were announced Friday night, and not one but two graphic novels took top honors.
Ulli Lust won the Graphic Novels/Comics prize for Today Is the Last Day of the Rest of Your Life, which also picked up an Ignatz Award and won an award at Angouleme in 2011 for the original edition. The other finalists were David B.'s Incidents in the Night: Vol. 1, Ben Katchor's Hand-Drying in America: And Other Stories, Anders Nilsen's The End, and Joe Sacco's The Great War: July 1, 1916: The First Day of the Battle of the Somme, so it was a tough field.
In the Young Adult category, Boxers & Saints was up against four prose books: Elizabeth Knox's Mortal Fire, Rainbow Rowell's Fangirl, Joyce Sidman's What the Heart Knows: Chants, Charms and Blessings, and Jonathan Stroud's Lockwood & Co: The Screaming Staircase. Yang's earlier book, American Born Chinese, was nominated for a National Book Award and won a Printz Award; both honors usually go to prose books.

"Two or three years ago we didn't serve hardly any salads in the district, now we're serving thousands and thousands every day," said David Binkle, deputy director of food service, Los Angeles Unified School District.
Binkle has been tweaking the LAUSD menu for years.
First lady Michelle Obama has been leading a crusade to fight childhood obesity by getting kids moving and eating better.
But a proposed congressional bill would undo some of the standards set in place by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture (USDA), standards like restricting sodium, limiting starchy veggies like french fries, adding whole grains and boosting produce for school lunches.
"Obviously I have a little one and I would hope that they would get as much nutritional value into any meal," said L.A. resident Stephanie Trott.
Parents like Trott are concerned about these proposed changes put in place by frozen-food manufacturers and potato growers that supply schools. They've lobbied Congress to halt efforts, claiming new standards are too strict and noting the government is overlooking the nutrients that potatoes and other starchy veggies offer.
Reminiscent of the Reagan administration calling ketchup a vegetable, there is a bigger food fight concerning tomato paste.
Currently the USDA calls 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce a vegetable. The USDA wants to increase that to a half-cup, roughly 4 tablespoon more and limit corn, peas and french fries to two servings a week.
"They do need to change a little but not take so much away from them," said Whittier resident Jessica Casillas.
Some argue the government shouldn't dictate what children eat, others say changes would be costly and burdensome.
Last month the U.S. Senate voted to block the potato restrictions while House Republicans urged the USDA to rewrite the standards.
One parent's message to Congress?
"Allow for the changes, hear from the parents and advocate for healthy lifestyles," said L.A. resident Heather Wingren.
The latest version of the bill blocks or delays all newly suggested changes.

Walter Stewart Fitch
Walter Stewart Fitch of Oracle, Arizona died June 2, 2013 following a debilitating fight with operative and post-operative complications as a result of a fall in early March. Fitch was born March 6, 1926 in Chicago, IL, the son of Dr. Franklin Ransom Fitch and Anne Elizabeth Schenck Fitch. He served in the Navy in the last year of
in the Pacific theater. He then attended the University of Chicago where he met his wife, Nancy Joy Babcock of Riverside, California. They were married at Price, Utah in 1947 where he was working the summer as an electrician in the coal mines. He obtained a Ph.D. in astronomy under the mentorship of William W. Morgan at the U of C Yerkes Observatory in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. While working on his degree, he was hired to the faculty of the Astronomy Department, University of Arizona, Tucson, by Edwin F. Carpenter, long term director of the Steward Observatory. There he used his naval training in electronics to mechanize the 36-inch reflecting telescope. He was actively involved in the construction of new housing for the original reflecting telescope at Kitt Peak in 1962. His academic work centered on pulsating or binary stars. He retired from the University of Arizona in 1986. After his wife convinced him that one would not die of "critter" death by sleeping on the ground he became an avid backpacker and hiker. One favorite hike was up Mt. Baldy, in the Santa Rita Mountains. This peak became known to the family as "Wally's peak" as few other family members could surmount it. Nearing retirement, he and Nancy became members of the Tucson Sailing Club frequently traveling to Rocky Point to sail in the Gulf of California. He is remembered for his odd mixture of gentleness and gruffness best illustrated by a ditty written by the staff of the National Observatory of Mexico in Baja California: Si oyes en la noche un grito... No te espantes es solo el Sr. Doctor Walter Fitch. He made meticulous lists, including a detailed record of precipitation and temperature and corresponding bird and animal sightings along the National Forest boundary in Oracle for the last 26 years. Those lists are to be donated to appropriate organizations. He is survived by his wife of 65 years, Nancy; four children and their spouses, Selena Billington and Jim Dewey; Tod and Leslie Fitch; Alanah Fitch and Al Benson, and Sandra and Gene Houghton and two grandchildren, Erika and Adam Benson. A private memorial will be held in the future. In lieu of flowers the family suggests a donation to the Tri-Community Food Bank, 108 Redwood St., Mammoth, AZ, 85618.

Hope everyone enjoyed their extended 4th of July weekend, a chance to gather with friends and family. Most know that only 2 founding fathers actually signed the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, with most signing on Aug 2, 1776. But what most don't know is that a Docusigned copy did go out to the founding fathers but a private email server issue is actually what caused the 1 month delay. Seriously tho, e-signature services like Docusign have been around for about 12 years but adoption has been slow by the mortgage industry. Much progress has been made and we are happy to say almost all initial loan disclosures can now be e-signed to help save some paper and speed up the loan application and submission process. Final loan docs of course still need to be wet signed with a notary.
Mortgage rates have been improving so far in 2016, somewhat to the surprise of the bond markets post QE. Fear and concerns over a slowing global economy has helped to keep rates low. And now with the UK voting to leave the European Union (aka Brexit), more uncertainty with how it will affect global markets has caused another push lower for Treasury bond yields and mortgage rates. It will take some time for this to play out, including chatter that there could be a "do over" on the referendum vote, but as uncertainty wanes rates could increase. Domestically we have our monthly employment report coming this Friday. Strong employment growth is typically negative for interest rates, but the focus continues to be overseas so not too much attention on that statistic right now. Best to keep an eye on the Brexit story and demand for government bonds like the 10yr US Treasury. Right now could be an excellent opportunity to lock in among the lowest interest rates we have seen.

Perhaps you don't remember starting the whole thing by calling my original post a ____ in the wind? My reaction might have been a bit overboard, but remember I was and still am stressing about what is going to happen with my CTS. People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. :lemon: :lemon: :lemon: :lemon:0
Picked up my CTS Saturday, February 2nd.... I had ordered it on December 28th.
Have the DI engine, performance collection, luxury level one, sunroof, spare tire, high polished wheels and wood trim packages. I had the dealer install the side molding and tint the windows. A great looking car inside and out.
Great looking car, I hope you have much better luck with it than I have mine.0
tntmyth Posts: 70Hey if anybody has a 2008 CTS that has actually been trouble-free, please let us know about it here and how long you have had your car. We have had alot of negative input here. I am curious if all the new CTS cars are having issues.0
cptsully Posts: 18I have had my 2008 CTS since OCT 07. It is fully loaded, minus AWD, with 8500 miles on it. I have had no problems whatsoever with it, and love driving it!0
cdnpinhead Forest Lakes, AZPosts: 4,279There's a guy from Vegas (thebug, I think) who has one of the new ones after driving one of the originals for several years. He's happy as can be, last I heard.
You've got to realize that people come to these boards, mostly, before the acquisition to get information and after only if they're having trouble. The vast majority get the car they want & we never hear another word because they're out enjoying it & not hanging around on these boards.
They (unlike people like me, it appears) actually have a life.0
letsgomets Posts: 6In September I took delivery of an AWD, DI, all the toys. It has approx 5.5k miles and no problems, rattles, squeaks, etc. - which is much more than I can say about my last 3 Audis....0
wacojohnny Posts: 8I have my CTS fully loaded AWD,DI,all the options and not a hint of anything wrong,it,s got about 2800 miles on it and running perfect.I love the car,I picked it up on Nov 13th.If you are thinking of getting one don,t worry its a great car.Driving over the streets of NYC,and no rattles sqeaks its amazing.0
j4mst Posts: 1Ordered my CTS Oct 19th 08 car was delivered Jan 04 08 3.6 SFI, PDQ, Auto
White Diamond W/ spare tire. I have been watching this forum since before my
purchase. I would like to respond to some of the postings by saying after 50 +
years of auto purchasing it is not uncommon to have some minor or major
problems with a first year production. However after looking at the competition
I do not find any other vehicle that can compare to the CTS '08 the ergonomics
are far superior to its closet competitor,performance is on par with the best. It
remains Cadillac all the way. It most certinaly is not a European Sports car it is
however one of the most adept at finding the middle of the performance road to
Sport and Luxury. I have 1200 miles no problems other than a heated seat function
problem that is being taken care of by the dealer who is replacing my fuel used to
come in for service. The only other thing I can say is WOW Great
sevenfeet0 Posts: 486I've been lurking watching the events of this unfold. I think all of us here really hope that your dealership and Cadillac get to some resolution everyone can agree to. One thing for sure is that issues like this aren't limited to Cadillac or GM. My mother had been driving Lexus ES cars for some time now and she had purchased the 2007 model last year. That car was an absolutely nightmare of gremlins...mostly resulting in the car refusing to start in her own garage. After being towed to the Lexus dealership five times and have no luck with the service solutions, the dealership made arrangements to get her into another vehicle. By this time the 2008s had shown up, and that's what she moved into. No problems with the current car.
Usually manufacturers have policies about how to handle the most serious issues that try to balance customer satisfaction with cost effectiveness. After all, drop shipping a 3.6L DI engine for your car isn't exactly a walk in the park. What helps in the process is not just being persistant (and not a jerk at the same time), but also having a dealership willing to go to bat for you. There are two Caddy dealerships in my town. The one I go to treats me like gold, regardless of why I'm there. They all my name (and all their regular customers names), from the receptionist to the owner, who always makes it a point to stop what he's doing and say hi to me. They remember what's going on in my life and ask about my family. They never try to spend their time selling me a car....they know when I'm ready, I'll come to them. And their service managers are all the same people for the last fifteen+ years I've been there. If there is an issue with my car, I know they will tell me the truth and not just try to do what's profitable. I have no doubt that they would go to bat for me with GM if something like what you're going through happened to me.
Bottom line is that if you feel your dealership isn't serving you well, let them know and look for others. If it's GM, make sure the dealership is pulling every string they can. The last thing they want is the loss of a customer, much less to a competitor. When that happens, odds are the customer is gone for good.0
Still no news. Mine is actually the 3.6VVT engine, so you would think it would be more reliable. Talked to the service manager this afternoon. Still no word from the Cadillac rep on what is going to happen. Evidently with GM the area rep has the say so on major things. Service manager says they are going to have to replace the engine, they know what is wrong with it ( water in 2 cylinders,) but can't see a way that it is getting there. Head gasket was not blown, head isn't cracked, the only thing they can come up with is that block has a porous casting, letting the water in. Says he hopes to know someting tomorrow, but that is what he said about today also. If he gets the ok to replace the engine he thinks he can have one here early next week, and the car back to us maybe by the end of the week. If that time frame holds, that means the car would have been in the shop 31 days since the first of the year. Getting me closer to the 45 day lemon law all the time. I do feel like the service manager is trying to do what is right. It all depends on the Cadillac rep, and he is the one who refused to replace the motor earlier. Service manager says that is their only choice now, but I will feel a lot better when the decision has been made. Actually I would feel a lot better if they would just give me another car, but that ain't going to happen. :lemon:0
Wow, that seems like a pretty quick delivery time. I ordered my CTS November 24 I was told 6-8 weeks. I call my dealer weekly and am being told they don't have a build date yet. I ordered mine Black Raven in color with the base engine, RWD, auto, Luxury Collection, both wood packages and no sunroof. Every CTS I've ever seen has a sunroof and I was also told by another owner there may be an availability problem with the wood package for the steering wheel and gearshift. Maybe those items are causing the delay. With our winter in the east central US so far I think I should have gotten AWD too.0
We have a 2008 CTS AWD Thunder Gray with Ebony interior.
First, the dealer ordered touch up paint and the paint color on the touch up lists: Code 30 WA-417P Kelava Gray Met.
The color looks like the correct color but I can find no cross reference to Cadillac's name of Thunder Gray. Can anyone verify this is the correct color. I believe the option code is 30U but I can't find the paint code on the car.
Second, so far (760 miles) we absolutely love this car. We did have a strange hiccup with the transmission, but my wife is not really sure what the sequence of events was and it hasn't happened again. It is taking getting used to having a car with no body side moldings (it looks beautiful, but those lazy people who don't put away shopping carts and think doors are for dinging are giving me nightmares!)
After three new Volvos over the past ten years, it is nice so far to have a rattle free car that is absolutely gorgeous and comfortable INSIDE and OUT!!!!0
Sounds like something is wrong. Maybe your dealer doesn't have an allocation for a CTS and that is what is keeping it from being picked up. I ordered my :lemon: in mid September and it was delivered Oct 30th. I know the wood wheel and gearshift were orginally constrained, but I thought they got that taken care of. I would go back and talk to whoever takes care of special orders at the dealrship. They can find out why it hasn't been picked up for a build yet. Also, if it hasn't been picked up for building yet, they can probably add the AWD to the car. I know we changed the option package on ours just before it was scheduled for build. Anyway something is definetly wrong either with the factory or your dealer. 2 and a half months and no build date yet is nnot right.0
Update 1-5-08,service manager just called, Cadillac finally approved a new engine. Should have it installed and the Cadillac back to us by the end of next week, maybe a little sooner depending on where the engine had to come from. A little happier about the situation now, it only took Caddy two weeks to decide to do what they should have done oirginally.0
You must have a dealer problem.... I originally ordered a CTS November 28th and it was set to be delivered December 28th. The dealer screwed up the order so I got my deposit back and went to another dealer the next day December 29th and ordered another CTS. I took deleviery of that car on Saturday February 2nd. You may need to check with another dealer0
briantucson Posts: 23I ordered my CTS and picked it up on 28 Dec.
Last Friday I went to start the vehicle and it didn't turn over (no crank).
I used Onstar which forwarded me to Cadillac Roadside Assistance (CRA). CRA asked me for a phone number, to which I said "I've got Onstar". They said "We don't have access to that, do you have a cell phone?" It seems that GM doesn't quite have the whole thing planned out perfectly yet.
Anyway, after I finished with CRA, I gave the CTS yet another try, and this time it fired up. I drove home with the groceries, and as I walked in the door, the home phone rang. It was CRA telling me about the tow vehicle that was en route. I explained that after unloading the perishables I intended on dropping off the car, but thanks.
The dealer gave me an '08 CTS loaner, which was nice. It was pretty basic in terms of equipment, as expected. I hadn't driven the base suspension in awhile, and there is a marked difference between it and the FE3. Surprising, even. Pretty Soft. Also, since it was a rental, I didn't feel the need to spare the RPM. The base engine (non DI) really does have pretty decent push.
I picked up my car today. It was all tied to an insufficiently grounded cable.
Here's the good news: There was a service bulletin on it. This alone speaks volumes about Quality.
It wasn't where the Dealer Tech's said "Well, we looked at it and it turns out that the assembler must've been drunk".
It was evidence of statiscal based, process-controlled manufactured environment. Their manufacturing engineers knew (unfortunately, after the fact) that a subset of their vehicles didn't pass mustard due to a process in their manufacturing flow. But they've updated their manufacturing process to address shortfalls.
I've accepted that purchaseing a vehicle very early in the manufacturing flow means you're more suspect to some problems. But after 6 weeks, and 1K miles, this was it. Some would not accept this, but I loved the car and had to have one.
Hats off to GM. Even with the slight inconvenience, it's been worth it, and I love the ride.0
Consumer Reports gives the CTS a good rating... Considering they have always been anti-US cars... They rate the TL and G35 better... they just couldn't get pass their bias against American cars.
From their on line article.
Upscale sports sedans: American dream--
Cadillac gives its German rivals a wake-up call
BMW 328i
Cadillac CTS
Mercedes-Benz C300
Saab 9-3
BMW and Mercedes-Benz have long been considered by many to set the standard in the sport-sedan category. But this month a newly redesigned Cadillac outscored cars from both of the German automakers in our 2008 upscale sport sedan review, earning high marks for agility, powertrain, and refinement.
The 2008 Cadillac CTS beat out the BMW 328i and the redesigned Mercedes-Benz C300 in our upscale sport-sedan group. It also outscored the freshened Saab 9-3 (all available to subscribers).
While the CTS vaults past most competitors, the Infiniti G35 and Acura TL still outscore it and lead the 2008 upscale sport sedan class in our Ratings0
With all due respect. replaceing an engine should never be an option on this new of a car. Do what i was famous for. Tie lemons on a string and run it across the top and sides of your car. park it legally in front of the dealer. Let the dealer get involved in pushing for a new car for you. Every prospective buyer will want to hear your story before they walk in the show room and look at the CTS. Trust me this works. the car is hot right now.
My Fuel pump went on my car with 200 miles on it.
I held a big sign that said...The real question is"when you turn your car on. DOES IT START????
They gave me oil changes and wheel alignments for the life of my lease.
Give them Hell0
The look of them on the grill is awesome. However they are really not bright enough. can they be replaced with bright bulps within specs?0

Well guess what? My salesman called me today and said the car was "in the system." He couldn't give me a build date and said it would be another six weeks! :mad: I don't want to burn bridges with this dealer just yet but it sounds like it never got put in right or something and they're covering themselves. They have two CTS's in stock but I don't care for the options and or colors, One of them they've had since around the 1st of November at least so they're not as scarce as they want you to believe. Most people seem to be getting theirs in 4-5 weeks. I'll be going to the Chicago Auto Show in a few days and will talk to a Cadillac rep to see what's going on. If I could find one with the right color and options at a nearby dealership I would buy it the same day.0
woolman2 Posts: 1I'm not sure it's a dealer issue. I think it has a lot to do with the option that you ordered on the car. I got mine loaded up with every option. I think this is why mine has taken so long to get entered into the system. I ordered mine on the 12 of Dec and didn't see it in the system until Jan 24th. I stopped at the dealer on the 18th to check the status of my order and at that point they informed me that the car that was ordered prior to mine just received a build date of the 21st. The nice thing about it is once you have a build date it about a week out. The lucky person that had the build date of the 21st, picked there new car on Sat the 26th. Now I'm only a few hrs from the plant, so I'm sure that cut's time off the overall cycle time.
Now for the good new, on Jan 29th I did receive my build date of 2-11-2008. I just can't wait..... Good Luck with yours :shades:0
gcoley Posts: 3I have just ordered a White CTS as well and want to add the door guards. Do you remember how much extra your dealer charged to add the door guards? Thanks for your help.0
I called Cadillac a couple of days ago and they said it was scheduled to be built the week of Feb 18. It's nice to get somewhat of a concrete date. I can't wait for mine either!0
Anybody? :confuse:0
They didn't itimize the side molding on the paper work but I think they were between $300-400.0
My new engine has arrived at the dealership and they should start putting it in tomorrow ( Mon). I hope that this is the beginning of the end of this nightmare, and not the beginning of another chapter. Saw the CTS on Friday afternoon, it was pretty sickening, the car on a lift and the motor, transmission, entire front suspension, exhaust system laying on the floor underneath. I hope the technicians are sharp enough to put it back together right. They seemed pretty confident. Dealership said it will take at least two days to get it back together, they want the mechanic to take his time, then the car will have to be realigned, and the service manager wants to drive it himself for a day, so maybe I will have it back by the end of the week. I just want to let everyone know that I think GM totally left me hanging on this one. They should have at the very least immediately approved a new engine,instead they initially wanted to repair the old one. The dealership finally told them there was no way to repair the old one. With as much noise as they make about satisfaction and customer service a new car would not have been out of the question. Boils down to you can't change a zebra's stripes. It is still the same old GM doing business the same way. They can talk the talk but don't walk the walk. No wonder Toyota is kicking their [non-permissible content removed]. :lemon: :lemon: :lemon: :lemon:0
dmathews3 Posts: 1,739Maybe they were a tad slow but it looks to me like GM handled it just as they should. You can't really expect them to put in a complete new engine at I'm guessing, 10K when they need to be sure it really needs a new engine. Since you are so down on them and it is such a popular car maybe you should just cut your losses and sell it now why it is hot. If you didn't pay sticker for it you may be able to get near all your money out of it and then go by your Toyota as I think this car has given you a bad taste in your mouth and you will never be happy with it. :sick:0

4 months ago | POPxo Fashion
Who do we look up to when we need some styling tips? Or whose Instagram profile do you stalk when you need some style inspiration? The celebrities right? After all, they are the best dressed. No matter where they go, they are always dressed sharply. Be it at the airport or at a concert or for an award ceremony, they just always happen to look their best and so glam. Well, this doesn't happen always. Sometimes the celebrity stylists make mistakes and dress the celebs in something that we would call not-so-appropriate for them or an outfit that just does not look so great on them. When such a thing happens, then you read a lot of reviews based on it.
POPxo fashion team did something similar, a crush or crash episode. Our Fashion Producer Roshni and our Senior Stylist Upalina did a review of a couple of our favourite TV Celebs and what they wore at the airport or at an award function. Watch this video to know what these two girls have to say about the various outfits that our actresses were seen wearing.

text: January 14, 2014 Avalanche Education, Backcountry Skiing, Williams Peak HutIt's mid-January, and we're full steam ahead on our avalanche education programs and guided ski trips.In early January, we hosted an American Institute for Avalanche Research and Education (AIARE) Level 2 Instructor Training Course at Smiley Creek Lodge. This 3-day course is for aspiring Level 2 course instructors and was well attended by a number of out of state avalanche pros. SMG owner/guide Erik Leidecker helped teach the program and shared his 20 years experience as a ski guide and avalanche instructor.Last weekend we wrapped up our third of eight AIARE Level 1 Avalanche Courses this season. We love these courses because they focus on the essential information for making safe backcountry decisions. Rather than diving heavily in snow science, we focus on the critical skills and observations folks need to make good, safe decisions in avalanche terrain. They are truly rewarding for us…this was brought home recently when one of Sara Lundy's past students made a live avalanche recovery in the Grizzly Gulch avalanche incident in Utah.We've already had some awesome folks in this season's courses: we did a private Level 1 for three couples, a course for a group of Wood River Valley hardcores, and our last group was a fantastic mix of people that gelled like they were old friends. And we're looking forward to all the great people we still have to meet.There's no doubt that up until recently, the snow conditions have been lean. This all changed last weekend when a northwesterly storm walloped Galena, the Sawtooths, and Banner Summit. Our mountains picked up one to nearly three feet of snow, and the cold finish left the powder extra light. It's time to get out and enjoy it – our first Powder Patrol of the season runs tomorrow!Hope you've all enjoyed the first part of the winter…so what's next? Nothing beats a full moon at the hut Gearing up for a bluebird day Happy campers after completing their Level 1 On Skiers Summit in front of Williams Peak How do you start this thing?

If you have a bad marriage (your spouse is cheating, abusive, you just don't love each other anymore) you should be able to divorce them and marry someone else or stay single, if you prefer. My uncle's wife cheated on him. Should he have been forced to remain married to her, knowing she loved someone else?
If two people who have been married both agree that their relationship is not work saving, then they should be able to get divorced. It can be a peaceful end to a bad relationship. It can also provide a better environment for children. Parents can remarry, and kids do not need to see their parents fighting all the time.
Besides that, who is? What child would say that they'd just love to have their parents divorced? I can understand that it might be a wise decision when two adults decide to marry for foolish, slapdash reasons, and then go on with their life making others miserable with their constant bickering, but I don't think married adults should divorce just because both of them refuse to face their problems and the troubles with their marriage. Marriage doesn't flow beautifully from the start, it's built up over time, and only gets better and stronger with age.

Get Your GIS Strategy Going
Thursday, 10 July 2014 00:00
Published in: Geospatial Advisory
Given up on strategic plans because no one pays them any attention?
Can't get the decision makers to read them, let alone fund them?
Too often I see strategic plans that describe implementing lots of technology but fail to demonstrate successfully how they will benefit the organisation or customers.
Effective strategic plans lay out a vision and a common set of organisational goals (describing how to get there and measure progress along the way). If the plan is going to be successful, it needs to be accepted across an organisation: people need to understand what the plan will deliver and how it is to be achieved.

Guest Book
Bio:Jazz chanteuse Lisa Lynn rocketed to the status of New Orleans "name" in a remarkably short time. Since the '90s she's heated up nearly two dozen of this legendary city's top stages, getting met with both popular and critical acclaim. Offbeat Magazine described Lisa's first CD, 2003's torchy Ten Cents A Dance, as "sultry, bluesy, and even down-home gutbucket…but with the accent on drama." Her second release, 2006's Call Me Baby, extends her reach and deepens her power: The Toledo Blade variously described her performances here as "saucy," "wonderful" and "unique," while Offbeat again chimed in that she "light[s] a few fires." Lisa's in-progress recording, I'm No Angel, scheduled for release in 2007, promises to set her place at the table of the Crescent City's best. No one sings jazz and blues without a flair for the dramatic. Lisa got hooked on the theater, especially musical theater, as a youngster, thanks to her mother, who took the family to see musicals of all kinds. Lisa credits both her parents for her talent for vocalizing: Her dad, a self-taught pianist, encouraged her singing, taking breaks from rec room Ping-Pong to back her up as best he could. By the time she had her high school diploma in hand, Lisa had performed in Bye Bye Birdie, Damn Yankees, Guys and Dolls, and even the operatic Amahl and the Night Visitors, among others. Singing the sounds of New Orleans, what isn't drama is poetry. While studying for her Master's degree in poetry at the University of New Orleans—she has a chapbook and several magazine publications of her writing, as well as a long list of credits as a lecturer—Lisa began sitting in with local jazz musicians. "I needed to sing," she says. "It was something that kept my spirit alive." That need had to turn into a career. Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop, the Bombay Club, the Fairmont Hotel, Storyville, The Ritz Carlton: These are just a few of the famous New Orleans stages Lisa has graced. Outside the Crescent City, she has performed in Shreveport, Louisiana; several cities in Ohio; Florida, Alabama, Detroit Motor City, and her favorite, Cape Cod. Lisa Lynn recently formed her own jazz trio. In 2004 she joined forces with two other New Orleans singers, Julia La Shae and Ellen Smith, for several performances as "The Swinging Singers Showcase," a program they plan to revive soon. Though she gigs everywhere, Lisa has recently been a regular attraction at Fritzel's Jazz Parlor on Bourbon Street, where her sound can be savored every Sunday night.

Hyperhidrosis is a condition of involuntary excessive sweating which typically can involve the armpits, palms of the hands, soles of the feet, the groin, and the face. It is particularly discomforting to have excessive sweating of the armpits and the palms because of social interactions. Botox Hyperhidrosis is an effective treatment for this condition.
How Treatment for Hyperhidrosis Works
In order to assess the appropriate dosage to treat hyperhidrosis, a Minor's starch iodine test is applied to the affected area (i.e. underarms, palms etc.). After the test is applied, the area of sweating is visible, as well as the severity of the sweating, which guides the dosage required. Usually, men require higher doses than women.
Once the Hyperhidrosis treatment is applied directly into the sweat glands, it helps to temporarily inhibit nerve impulses that cause excessive sweating in the body.
Recovery and Results
Sante Medical treats many patients who suffer from hyperhidrosis. Treatments are very effective and the results can last anywhere from 8-12 months.

Rebecca Trescher strongly wields her clarinet on the cover – but throughout the album, her approach is much more subtle – and wrapped up beautifully with the other sounds from her Ensemble 11! The music is a mixture of jazz and larger compositional ideals – with the leader on both standard and bass clarinet – in a group that also features beautiful woodwind currents on flute, alto, and tenor – alongside cello, harp, vibes, and piano – plus some very subtle voice, which often seems to be wordless, but drifts in like another instrument amidst the woodwinds! The approach is beautiful – almost with the tonal properties of some of the best compositions by Moacir Santos, especially on the long "Floating Food" suite, which takes up most of the album. The two other titles include "Der Fruhe Vogel" and "Malachit". ~ Dusty Groove
A really unusual combination of instruments – or, that is, a familiar combination – but used here in really unusual ways! The group features Taiko Saito on vibes and marimba, Niko Meinhold on piano, and Tobias Schirmer on clarinet and bass clarinet – and all instruments are often used at the gentlest side of their sonic range – so that the flow of the tones together is almost more important than the performance of any individual member – always tuneful, even when dark – but also extremely creative in the way the sounds are put together! We're used to hearing modern clarinet players work with unusual phrasings from the time of Jimmy Giuffre onward – but we've never heard that instrument combined this way with piano and vibes – with a sound that reminds us that the right players can always unlock new possibilities from familiar instruments. Titles include "Wellen", "Etude In Eb", "Snow Moon Flower", "Bikkuri", "Komodo No Kodomo", and "Feldmannchen". ~ Dusty Groove
A really fantastic set from this Swedish nine piece ensemble – a record that's overflowing with brash performance and unbridled energy – adventurous, but never totally free – and always given the right sort of focus to make things come across with a tremendous amount of power! The feel is almost like a Moserobie Records take on a Charles Mingus style – and the lineup features Martin Kuchen on alto and tenor – who also composed the album's five long tracks – plus Magnus Broo on trumpet, Matthias Stahl on vibes, Goran Kajfes on cornet, Mats Aleklint on trombone, Eirik Hegdal on baritone, Alexander Zethson on piano, Johan Berthling on bass, and Andreas Werliin on drums. If you know any of those players at all, you can imagine the greatness of the group – on titles that include "Adror", "Equality & Death", "Pacemaker", "Disappeared Behind The Sun", and "Love Flee Thy House". ~ Dusty Groove

Edition 1. The decline of advertising, disappearing stores and chatbottlenecks.
Is traditional advertising losing its impact? Yep. In many industries, like beauty and auto, the biggest advertisers are in decline - trumped by younger, quicker counterparts who reallocate the spend to new product innovation, search visibility and influencers.
In Advertise Less, Innovate More, we explore how winning brands like Zara, Domino's and NYX grow by shunning traditional ads in favor of alternative ways to entice customers.
Adding to traditional advertising's plight, ad-heavyweight Adidas will ditch TV ads completely to focus on reaching younger customers on mobile.
Let's chat instead
How to grow in the challenging years ahead when trusty ol' advertising no longer packs a punch? Realizing that savvy customers are "opting out" of adworld, brands are turning to messaging apps to sell more stuff.
Chatbottleneck: Not so conversational commerce
Instant messaging gives brands a rich opportunity for one-on-one comms and better customer service. One small problem - chatbots thus far kind of suck. Why? They're hard to find and customers don't understand what they can and can't use them for. That said, the brands that find success on conversational interfaces connect customers with real-life, actual humans ( like Marriott, Net-a-Porter, and Glossier did) or define clear, narrow use cases (like Taco Bell and KLM did). Here are our favorite examples of brands experimenting with chat apps:
Glossier: The fast-growing, cult beauty brand invited its top 100 customers to a private Slack channel. These top spenders use it to trade over 1500 messages every week: dishing out style advice, product recommendations and more
KLM: The dutch airline sends passengers their boarding pass and updated flight information through Facebook Messenger
Net-a-Porter: The luxury fashion giant's personal stylists already chat one-on-one with top customers. This month the brand announced formal plans to use WhatsApp to connect with their "Extremely Important Customers"
Hellmanns: Half of Hellmann's site visitors in South America signed up for the mayonnaise brand's 'Whatscook' campaign. The campaign connected customers to real chefs to provide in-the-moment meal inspiration
Where did all the stores go?!
Four years ago, we made a prediction that the future of retail would involve less overall stores, with the remaining stores being higher quality and centered around convenience or enjoyment. This is increasingly true, according to Moody's the number of distressed retailers shuttering stores has reached near recession levels. American Apparel, The Limited, Macy's and Walmart are but a few in a long list of retailers that have announced full or partial store closures in the last year. 3500 will disappear in the next few months according to Business Insider.
But it's not all doom and gloom. Trader Joe's, Sephora, Primark, Aldi and Amazon are among the list of retailers successfully opening physical locations to enhance convenience and promote the brand. These thriving retailers demonstrate that shiny technologies and omnichannel tactics are not a silver bullet - the right flavor of digital looks very different for Burberry vs Dollar General, so retailers need to find their unique combination of technology-enabled products, platforms, and services to reinforce their core brand values.

A Pennsylvania woman tied up her boyfriend's 4-year-old son and forced him to eat laxatives and hot sauce because he was another woman's child, authorities said.
Danielle Miller, 31, bound the boy's legs during what she called "playing mermaid," fed the child a laxative concoction and hot sauce without letting him drink water for long periods of time and kept him barricaded in a closet over a four-month period, the Lancaster County District Attorney's Office said.
Miller also verbally abused the boy, calling him a "[expletive] pig" and told him he had a "stupid, ugly" face, authorities said. She allegedly forced him to stay on a toilet for hours until he defecated. The boy, who is now staying with relatives, suffered cuts, bruises and burns during the abuse.
"Everybody knows this is just one of the most disgusting cases that we've had to see the facts," Lancaster County District Attorney Craig Stedman said, according to Fox43.com. "And the facts read out of some type of novel. I wish I could say it was some sort of horror novel or a movie."
Miller was charged with eight felonies, including five counts of aggravated assault. Police also charged the boy's father, Nathan Duke, 30, with felony counts of endangerment and conspiracy for concealing the abuse and not reporting it to authorities.
Police believe Miller resented and abused the boy because he is Duke's child with another woman.
The couple and four children, including the victim, lived together in Quarryville, about 60 miles west of Philadelphia. No charges have been filed in connection with the other three children, authorities said.
"There was no evidence of abuse whatsoever with her kids but the one that wasn't hers was the target," Stedman said.
The investigation was launched after an acquaintance of the couple reported suspected abuse. The boy was removed from the home in July.
"They seemed like a normal family," neighbor Joseph Lengel told Fox43.com. "Nice people, had some contact with our daughter and them around … They didn't really have a whole that would lead you to believe that something like that could be possible."
Both Miller and Duke remain jailed on $300,000 and $100,000 bail, respectively.

Governor's Cup Competition
Senior Capstone Class Creates Real-World Experience
Your first three years in the College of Business at JBU all come together your senior year during the capstone business class called Strategic Management. In this course, students work in teams to create a business and write a business plan detailing the first five years of operation. At the end of the semester, each team sends their business plan to a competition called the Donald W. Reynolds Governor's Cup Competition.
Twelve teams are selected from all of the entries, and they travel to Little Rock, AR to present their business plan and compete for cash prizes. Not only are the prizes a great incentive, but investors and experienced business people judge your presentation and plan, and give you critical and useful feedback.
The top three from this Arkansas competition win prizes, and the top two teams travel to Las Vegas, NV to compete against the top two teams from Oklahoma and Nevada. Again, there are more cash prizes and another opportunity to interact with investors and business people. You can read more about the competition here.
In 2011, three JBU teams went to the competition in Little Rock, and took first, second, and third place. The teams that took first place (AFS) and second place (Craftistas) advanced to the Tri-State Competition in Las Vegas.
In May 2011, AFS and Craftistas traveled to Las Vegas for the Tri-State Competition. The top two winners from statewide competitions in Oklahoma and Nevada joined the two JBU teams to compete for $41,000 in cash prizes.
At this competition, Craftistas took first place and AFS took second place.
The winnings from all undergrad JBU teams combined, from the competition in Arkansas and the competition in Nevada, totaled $93,000.

(Tabatinga, Brazil) August 28, 2012 — From January to July this year, about 2,000 trafficked migrants from Haiti stranded in the Brazilian border town of Tabatinga received emergency humanitarian assistance, thanks to the solidarity of several organizations, religious congregations and Jesuit institutions both in Latin America and around the world.
After a July of 2011 visit to Tabatinga, which borders both Peru and Colombia in Brazil's northwest Amazon rainforest, Jesuit Refugee Service Latin America and Caribbean (JRS LAC) produced a report warning about the difficult humanitarian situation facing Haitians in this isolated area.
At the same time, JRS LAC initiated, in collaboration with the Brazilian Diocese of Alto Solimões and in coordination with the Jesuit Province of the Amazon, several projects oriented towards the pastoral and humanitarian care of the Haitians, who were forced to flee their country following the earthquake on January 12, 2010.
Within the framework of these projects, a community restaurant was built to provide food to the migrants twice a day. Financial support was provided to families with children, allowing families to rent homes.
Both JRS and the Government of Brazil provided aid to these stranded Haitians to pay their travel by boat to Manaus, to allow them to register for humanitarian residency documents, thus enabling them to start the normalization of their status in Brazil.
These programs allowed JRS to mitigate the humanitarian crisis in Tabatinga and and support better living conditions and job opportunities in Manaus, the capital of Brazil's Amanzonas state, for the displaced and trafficked Haitians now living in Tabatinga.
The Brazilian government decided to regularize "for humanitarian reasons" all Haitian citizens who had entered their territory before January 12, 2012. At the beginning of April, the government also granted amnesty to 363 Haitians who had been stranded in Tabatinga and extended the right to enter Brazil under the same humanitarian visa to another 245 Haitian displaced who had been stuck in Iñapari, a Peruvian city bordering Brazil on the Acre River.
However, since May, the Brazilian authorities have closed their borders in the Amazon and the Rio Acre, where hundreds of Haitians remain stranded.
Due to the shortage of funds, the pastoral care of the Diocese of Alto Solimões and JRS LAC are focusing on providing food to migrants in Tabatinga.

You can let me know if this VLOG style with longer videos is ok, or no go. I seem to be making longer videos these days with more chatter. Hey thanks for watching guys. This is a pond that we are fortunate enough to live on in the lower mainland. Most lower mainland lakes the trout grow slow, but for some reason they grow fast in the back yard. Must be all the fertilizer. These fish being caught were stocked spring 2015.

$15.5 million Navy award for Todd Pacific
Todd Shipyards Corporation (NYSE:TOD) says that the U.S. Navy has awarded its wholly owned subsidiary, Todd Pacific Shipyards Corporation, a $15,583,506 modification to previously awarded contract N00024-08-C-4416. This modification represents the exercise of an option for the Planned Incremental Availability for USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN (CVN- 72), at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard commencing in April 2009 and is expected to be completed in November 2009. This modification exercises an option for pier side maintenance, repairs and alterations of various ships systems and equipment throughout the Lincoln.
The PIA of the Lincoln is being performed under the company's contract with the Navy for the overhaul, maintenance, repair and alterations of CVN-68 Nimitz class ships in Puget Sound. The five-year cost-plus-award-fee contract was most recently awarded to Todd in August 2008. The company had been awarded two prior five-year contracts for similar work in 1999 and again in 2004.

World War One: Medical advances inspired by the conflict
In its scale and devastation, World War One was unlike any before.
New heavy artillery and machine guns obliterated flesh and bone. And even if a soldier wasn't instantly killed the dirt of the trenches meant wounds often became infected.
Millions died, and millions more were left disabled which, according to retired anaesthetist Dr Peter Lloyd Jones, secretary of the Museum for Health and Medicine for Wales at Cardiff University, led to huge new challenges for the medical profession.
"The weaponry was far more effective - 15% of all combatants in the British armed forces were killed and that was unprecedented," he said.
"On the other hand, of those that got injured but didn't die, far fewer than before died of their injuries and that has to be down to well organised medical management."
Faced with such carnage, the medical profession did, indeed, respond.
And two Welshmen were responsible for one of the most important advances - the Thomas splint - which is still used in war zones today.
It was invented in the late 19th Century by pioneering surgeon Hugh Owen Thomas, often described as the father of British orthopaedics, born in Anglesey to a family of "bone setters".
But it was his surgeon nephew Robert Jones, later Sir Robert, who as a major general inspector for orthopaedics in the military, was mainly responsible for rolling out its use on the battlefield in World War One.
At the beginning of the conflict in 1914, 80% of soldiers with broken thigh bones died. The use of the Thomas splint meant that, by 1916, 80% of soldiers suffering that injury survived.
But there were other significant advances, including more widespread use of treatments and vaccinations for deadly diseases like typhoid.
In France, vehicles were commandeered to become mobile X-ray units. New antiseptics were developed to clean wounds, and soldiers became more disciplined about hygiene.
Also, because the sheer scale of the destruction meant armies had to become better organised in looking after the wounded, surgeons were drafted in closer to the frontline and hospital trains used to evacuate casualties.
Those lessons are just as relevant in war zones today.
Colonel Tina Donnelly, a nurse and army reservist who was commanding officer of the field hospital in Camp Bastion in Afghanistan, said their knowledge of how to treat leg injuries on the battlefield went back to their forefathers.
"Today we might not think of those injuries as being life threatening but in the First World War they would have been," she said.
"If you fracture your thigh bone, minimum blood loss is about one and a half litres from a circulating volume of about five litres - not to immobilise would have been life-threatening."
With hundreds of thousands of injured soldiers returning home, World War One also led to a new emphasis on rehabiliation and continuing care.
New techniques in facial surgery and burns were developed - and there were huge advances in prosthetic limb technology - to meet the needs of hundreds of thousands of amputees.
And with existing healthcare capacity overwhelmed new hospitals were built across the country, including the Prince of Wales Hospital in Cardiff.
Dr Lloyd Jones said this transformed the shape of the healthcare system.
"Generally speaking medicine in Britain was pretty disorganised," he said.
"You'd have a GP, you might have a cottage hospital down the road run by some local benevolent body, but there was no organisation - nothing bringing it all together.
"And that's what the First World War did for Britain."

Symantec has warned the Android community that Android malware authors are making their malwares more invisible and harder to detect. This means that they are adding greater encryptions to their creations.
These malwares are now using an encryption to obfuscate embedded modules so security products don't spot anything nasty, the security firm said. This kind of technique was been long used in the PC world. But what is disturbing is that it is increasingly being ported to the cellular world. And what's more is that, it is stealthier than the ones in our PCs.
Today, mobile processor has enough computational abilities for industry-standard encryption and these strong encryption schemes become a standard component of the operating environment. It seems only natural to expect this trend of encrypting components to consolidate for mobile malware.
It has been a year since Android was attacked by the first malware. Hackers see Android as a 'lowest hanging fruit' and decided to shift from the PC to the mobile. It also makes sense because the mobile world is still on the emerging stage. In March, Total Defense, a malware detection and anti-crimeware specialist, revealed that Android has surpassed PC based operating systems on being the most targeted malware attacks. Also, this year, Juniper Network revealed that Android malware grew by 3,325 percent in the last seven months of 2011.
A tech site TechWeekEurope revealed how easy it is to create potentially malicious Android malware kit, doing so in the back of a limo.
Besides their growing popularity and demand, Android still has many flaws. One of them is this growing vulnerability to malicious attacks and their lack of quad-core support. If they want to remain on top, then they need to do something on their flaws or else they will be out of their throne.
Google is a big company and has lots of powerful resources. It is cheap of them not to have solutions for it in a year. How would Google make a solution for this? How long will they keep the community waiting and watch them being attacked by malwares?
