Okay, go this cute idea while making the mitred squared. If you look at the pictures you see my idea and my problem. Does anyone know how to make a square starting from the diagonal. I posted my problem on a few boards. I'm confused a bit more. Basically, I want it done in stockinette stitch but from all the replys, its best done in garter. If it did it in garter, my problems would be solved but I am stubborn, I want stockinette....... anyone, help me please.

UFO and FO
One of my current projects is the dishcloth. Yep, i got that bug too. Normally, i am not a dishcloth fan but since i started making this one, I have t his urge to make another one. Damn these urges, they get me into so much trouble.
The other is a picture of my punchneedle kit. It was fast and fun. I have since bought more fabric and floss to create my own design. First, I have to finish off some of my knitting projects (running out of room on my sofa).

Sock story, the long and short of it
Every blog that I looked at had people making socks. I, not a big sock fan (those puppies come off the minute I get home), figured to be considered a knitter you have to make a pair of socks in your lifetime. So I went on the web and found me some sock yarn. Cute, stripy, why not. So now what pattern? So many to choose from. As I sat and waited for my purchase to come, I kept checking the website from where I bought my yarn to see what state my yarn was traveling through. I realized two things..... I cant read and that my math sucks. From the website...You need two skeins....Not one... To make a pair of socks. Wow...I'm stupid. Okay.... Maybe I will make anklets since I don't like long socks, that may save on yardage. Oh look! Toe up patterns....Maybe I'll have two socks, not one. Am I really going to wear these????? Well, I do like clogs...Maybe some thing for them?
yep, those are my finished clog slips. And I do have some yarn left over. Any ideas???
so I found this lovely green stripe yarn. ooo ooo socks. Getting this far I came to the conclusion I don't want to continue. Its pretty, its stripy, and I'm bored. Is there a period of waiting before you completely frog a project?

got the camera
Remember when i said i was working on another purse? Well, I changes my mind. I got the mitred square bug and thought that it would make a cute felted purse. For some reason, I think that this is going to become a felted pillow.
Here is the picture of the purse I made with nylon thread. I think the paw print lining goes quite well. Plus, you got to love fabric glue for the no sew look. I use this purse as my knitting bag. Especially for small projects when i go to the parents' house.

David Nail's twins will be turning 1 next month, and the new dad is still finding out just how much of a worry-wart he is when it comes to his kids.
"My wife's kind of a hippie here . . . not much of a worrier," the singer, 37, told PEOPLE on the red carpet at the CMA Awards on Wednesday. "I'm the dad that I have to see them at all times. If they even remotely look at the drawer that they could potentially open, I have to run over there and pick them up."
And though he thought he was ready for fatherhood, "you just find out so many things about yourself that you thought you kind of had an idea of but in reality have no clue," he says.
Becoming a dad to his son Lawson Brent and daughter Lillian Catherine (with his wife Catherine) has also made him reflect on how important his loved ones are.
"People used to tell me all the time, 'Hey, when you actually have kids, you're gonna realize how truly significant family is,' and I think . . . you get that it makes sense, but there's nothing that can prepare you for when you see your kids," he says.
Adds the star: "You automatically think about how much your parents loved you and just how proud they are of you and how much they cared for you."

Nail also joked he's occasionally felt like a "crappy dad" because nothing "changed overnight" musically for him. However, he now sees his past work in a different light.
"The one thing that I did realize was not so much that songs that I was writing or that I felt suddenly changed at the time," he says. "It was songs that I've already recorded, songs that were on my record already that suddenly there were lines in there that maybe caused a few more goosebumps than they did previously."
Adds the singer: "There's no guarantee my kids will ever think anything I've done is cool, [but] there's a few songs I've written about their mother or about them … they'll appreciate from the standpoint that it came from the heart."

Long Beach Car Accident Lawyers
Long Beach Car Accident Lawyers
It's no secret that Greater Los Angeles has some of worst traffic in the country. The metro area commonly ranks as one of the most congested in the world. Throughout the day, the highways and freeways are crowded with locals as well as tourists who flock to Southern California to visit the beaches, theme parks, and other attractions.
What Causes Motor Vehicle Accidents?
Accidents can happen for many different reasons, but one of the biggest contributors is distracted driving. Drivers may take their focus off the road because they are eating or drinking, arguing with passengers, or reaching for an object. Talking or texting on cell phones is also a major cause of distracted driving. In California, there are strict laws governing cell phone usage while behind the wheel.
Another major cause of auto accidents is driving while fatigued. Shift workers, commuters and truck drivers who drive long distances are especially at risk of being drowsy while driving. When it comes to trucking accidents, fatigued driving often plays a part. Truck drivers can work long hours and travel long distances without a break.

Most Dangerous Roadways In Long Beach
If you're a resident of Long Beach, you've almost certainly experienced the high volume of traffic at one time or another. One of the area's busiest roadways is the I-405, which is also known as the San Diego Freeway. This freeway travels from north to south along the western side of Los Angeles and is the most accessible route to get to LAX from Long Beach.
If you wish to travel north from Long Beach to the center of Los Angeles, you may end up taking the I-605. Also known as the San Gabriel Freeway, this roadway runs almost parallel to the San Gabriel River and is one of the widest in the area, accommodating eight to ten lanes of traffic. This road takes you to the San Gabriel Mountains, one of the most popular hiking spots in the area.
The 710 Freeway is one of the most commonly traveled roadways for residents of Long Beach who are going to work or school. Unfortunately, it's also one of the most dangerous because of the presence of large trucks leaving the Port of Long Beach. Pacific Avenue and Orange Avenue are busy streets within Long Beach itself. Tourists driving to the beach or visiting attractions like the Queen Mary or the Aquarium of the Pacific often takes these roads.

Scientists produce short-term reversal of skin aging in miceNovember 30th, 2007 - 2:05 pm ICT by admin
Washington, Nov 30(ANI): A research conducted at the Stanford University School of Medicine has revealed that the effects of aging on the skin can be reversed for a short period by blocking the action of a single critical protein.
The researchers also revealed that the work could one day be useful for helping older people in healing an injury as quickly as they did when they were young.
The work led by Howard Chang, Assistant professor of Dermatology backs the theory that aging is the result of specific genetic changes rather than accumulated wear and tear. What's more, those genetic changes can be reversed even late in life.
The implication is that the aging process is plastic and potentially amenable to intervention," said Chang.
The researchers also discovered that their activity of age-related genes gets dialed up or down with the help of the protein called NF-kappa-B.
Chang said people had long known that NF-kappa-B winds its way into a cell's nucleus to control which genes were active. What they didn't know is that many of those genes regulated by the protein have a role in aging.
Chang and a graduate Adam Adler, the studys first author looked at the genetic changes resulting from blocking NF-kappa-B for two weeks on the, the skin of 2-year-old mice
They found that the same genes active as cells in the skin of newborn mice has a striking difference when compared with the skin of a normal 2-year-old mouse.
Researchers further tested whether blocking the activity of NF-kappa-B in the skin of older mice for two weeks had a youthful effect.
"We found a pretty striking reversal to that of the young skin," said Chang.
However, Chang and Adler have cautioned that their findings aren't likely to be the source of the long-sought fountain of youth.
That's because they don't know if the rejuvenating effects of NF-kappa-B are long lasting.
The protein has roles in cancer, the immune system and a range of other functions throughout the body and suppressing it on a long-term basis could very well result in cancers or other diseases that undermine its otherwise youthful effect.
"You might get a longer lifespan but at the expense of something else," he added.
The results will be published in the Dec. 15 issue of the journal Genes and Development. (ANI)

Point to consider when buying a used cars
Why seeks advance when you have found the ideal asset for every one of your answers. Keep perusing to take in more about this point. New cars start deteriorating the second you sign the papers. The appropriate response is a considerable measure less demanding with that data. Purchase the auto after it has taken the greatest esteem hit. That obviously consolidates with the worry over the state when an auto needs less upkeep. Those states unite in the somewhat used cars. Another person retained that misfortune. The auto is likely still under guarantee and is not in a condition of requiring steady work.
Many sources give these marginally used cars. Auto parcels have a great deal of exchanged cars. Those cars then must be sold. Organizations like CarMax and EBay engines have a huge number of used cars accessible for perusing. Talking about closeouts, most urban communities have a considerable measure of sell-offs occurring each day. Barters incorporate cars from the police, taken from hoodlums, or utilized rental vehicles. Kelly blue book is the place to search at used cars costs. It records cars by year, then the general costs for those cars in different conditions from fabulous to be poor. It additionally separates the costs relying upon whether the auto is being sold by a merchant or by a private person. That causes a change since merchants have the overhead that private dealers don't have.
That spares cash over the long haul. Indeed, individuals like the favor models. Keep in mind, in any case, that much less difficult models get from focuses as to point b. That can even to mean a less distressing life. Individuals who claim the extravagance cars stress more over them. Many used cars proprietors take to pride in their cars, however don't stress over a ding or two. Riches are not made by spending, even on an auto. Insightful spending transforms into riches. There are individuals living hand to mouth despite the fact that they gain a great deal of cash. All around used cars in san diego are an approach to spare. Much obliged to you for setting aside you opportunity to peruse this data.

Disadvantaged children who had their toys snatched by burglars can smile again thanks to a South Wales store.
Intruders raided a Women's Aid safe house in Barry earlier this year and made off with #500 of toys.
The outdoor play equipment was destined for under-fives who have lived through the trauma of domestic abuse. Staff at the Early Learning Centre in Cardiff were so touched by the youngsters' plight they decided to donate #200 worth of new toys to Vale of Glamorgan Women's Aid.
Women's Aid worker Katrina Cooper said: "This is obviously greatly appreciated because these children, when they come to us, are often leaving everything they had behind.
"We're thrilled that the Early Learning Centre responded to an article in the Echo and the children are really going to benefit from this donation."
Vale of Glamorgan Women's Aid offers information, support and temporary emergency accommodation for women and children who have experienced domestic violence.
Children staying in refuges throughout the county will now be able to play in an array of fancy dress costumes chosen by workers from the charity.
Early Learning Centre store manager Tracey Bushell said: "When something is stolen like that - especially from a charity - it's just not fair. It's nice to give something back and I'm sure they'll have a good time playing with their new toys."
The latest donation, consisting mainly of fancy dress costumes, comes in the wake of a #100 gift from Vale of Glamorgan councillor Bob Wilkinson, who was similarly moved by the story.

Mental illness does not discriminate and affects every school and every neighborhood across the country. The good news is that mental illness is a health disorder that IS treatable. Education and awareness are essential in early detection, seeking help and realizing "You are NOT alone!"

If you know who this person is, please let her (or her family) know we would love to talk to her. Thank you!

Anderson Cooper 360 on CNN aired a story last night discussing a 2006 Toyota internal "confidential" document that acknowledging electronic-caused sudden unintended acceleration that described an electronic "malfunction that caused the vehicle to acceleration on its own."
"The cruise control activates by itself at full throttle when the accelerator pedal position sensor is abnormal," states the document, written in Japanese, translated into English.
"This looks like a classic example of electronics causing a car to suddenly accelerate," said Michael Pecht, director of the CALCE Electronics Products and Systems Center at the University of Maryland.
Source: CNN
Unsurprisingly, Toyota tried for weeks to convince CNN to not air its report.
Contrary to many media reports, the NHTSA and NASA investigation did not vindicate Toyota's electronics as a potential cause of sudden unintended acceleration. Instead, NASA wrote that the Toyota electronic throttle control system is so complex that it was not realistic to prove that it cannot cause unintended acceleration and that NASA's report "does not vindicate the system." In fact, NASA identified a number of electronic causes of sudden unintended acceleration in its report.
Moreover, it appears that neither NHTSA or NASA had all of the critical documents and reports on Toyota SUA at the time the investigation was done. Toyota, for example, failed to provide NHTSA with the critical document discussed in Anderson Cooper's report. NHTSA failed to share critical public reports of sudden acceleration, like that Joseph McClelland.
This latest report on Toyota sudden acceleration raises another refrain of the critical question: What did Toyota know; and when did it know it?

Kristin Chenoweth: Some Lessons Learned
Thursday, September 29, 2011
5 comments
Thank you, Rissi, for clearing something up for me....I kept staring at "Lessons Learned" wondering why it was so familiar...then when you said my favorite singer sang it (Carrie Underwood ;-), the bells went off.ReplyDelete
However hard it might be for me to think of Kristen doing country, I should give her a try. I am used to her from "Wicked"...and loved her in that. But there are always many sides to a person.
I have never listened to Kristin's music before, but I'll have to check her out!ReplyDelete
On the other hand, I listen to Carrie all the time :)
Ella - Kristin started singing on that track and as I was listening to it, I was like "Carrie sings that!" In my humble opinion, Carrie does it best, but all things considered, Kristin pretty much nails every song.ReplyDelete
I know what you mean! I kind of wanted to L-O-L when reading she was releasing a country album - REALLY, an opera star switching to country!? ;D
Rebekah - Kristin has a really great voice. As usual, I do not like every track on this album, but the good outnumber the "bad."
Carrie is truly a great talent - in any genre. She has a phenomenal voice.
I never knew that people could sing country and Opera at the same time:)
Yeah, it is pretty ironic - Kristin carries it off though. =)ReplyDelete
Have a thought? Don't be shy, go ahead and leave one... or two... or three! I reply to every comment. If you're new to the blog, please don't hesitate to introduce yourself and your blog - we love chatting around here!

|web-console with non-embedded broker
|Sun, 04 Feb 2007 18:35:20 GMT
Hi Folks, I'm trying to setup the ActiveMQ web-console with an ActiveMQ broker that is embedded in another application. I've been unable to get this setup working at all. The version of ActiveMQ is 4.1 all around. I'm using Java 1.5 on MacOS X 10.4, and on linux. The embedded Active MQ browser ia at port 61616 on localhost, has name "OMS_BROKER", and has the JMX console enabled. I've modified the activemq-4.1/activemq-web-console/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF files to avoid the collision in port number with the embedded borker in the web-console app as well. (I found that changing the target/* files had no effect when tarting with "mvn jetty:run"). In the activemq.xml config file here, 1) I've set useJmx="false" broker element to avoid conflicts with the other broker & JMX 2) changed the openwire transport port to 61617 to avoid conflicts with 61616 of the embedded broker 3) set a network connecter to <networkConnector name="OMS_BROKER" uri="static://(tcp://localhost:61616)" failover="true"/> in addition to the multicast connector. I've also turned off the transportConnectors altogether, by commenting out that section of the activemq.xml While these changes allow the web-console to start, I cannot browse the embedded Broker. I see no Topics or queues available. Can someone advise me on how to use the web-console to browse a broker besides the one started by the web-console application? It seems that the web-console would have limitied utility without this ability, and documentation of the procedure. Thanks for any insight you might provide. rob -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/web-console-with-non-embedded-broker-tf3170794.html#a8795680 Sent from the ActiveMQ - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Arriva London wins Payroll Giving Platinum Award two years running
We are extremely proud to announce that, for the second year running, through the continued generosity of our staff, we have been awarded the prestigious Charity Aids Foundation Payroll Giving Platinum Award.
To receive this award, companies are required to demonstrate their continued commitment to Payroll Giving by encouraging staff to give through their payroll, and to have at least 20% of their staff contributing throughout the year.
As we mentioned in an earlier story this month, our Platinum bus, painted this colour to celebrate the same achievement last year, has moved from our Palmers Green garage in north London where it operated on route 141, to our Brixton garage, and can now be seen on various routes in the south and central London areas.
The bus, decorated with many logos of the charities our staff support, will soon be having an upgrade to show the 2017 Payroll Giving Award logo. So, if you see it out and about, give us a toot and maybe take a selfie by it and post it on social media.
The Platinum bus advertising points out that over 1,000 of our staff give to over 160 different charities through their pay each and every week, and we are continually striving to encourage more of our staff to do just that, to maintain this standard.
Our campaign theme, 'It's easy to give with Payroll Giving, your colleagues do it every day', has been promoted through weekly road shows at each of the company's London garages, together with a poster and video campaign telling givers' stories and responses from the charities that are the recipients.
All participants in the scheme enter a company quarterly draw which gives four winners each a cheque from Arriva London for £250 for their chosen charity.
All givers are also entered into a ballot, giving them the chance to be one of the participants in Arriva London's Lord Mayor's Show entry, which this year will feature the Arriva London's Heritage Fleet open-top Routemaster RMC 1464.
Peter Batty our commercial Director said:
"We are delighted to have won this award again, and are continuing to develop the campaign going forward. Painting our HV 64 bus Platinum is an original way to show to the millions of people who use and see our buses every day, just how generous our staff are and how very proud we are of their giving, and the way this provides sustainable income for hundreds of charities."
If you would like to become part of the Arriva London team and subsequently join the Payroll Giving charitable team, then please click here.

This was my second year attending Chicago Ideas Week and it was just as empowering as it was last year. Looking through the schedule, there are always so many amazing sessions offered across the city. It can be hard to narrow down what to select, let alone get a ticket before everything sells out. Thankfully, I was able to grab one of the last spots for Technology: Disruptive Innovation. You can click here for my live tweet recap.
The session was held at the Cadillac Palace Theatre in Chicago. I met others in the tech sector along with a few college students just entering the sector. It's one of those events where the fellow attendees are just as interesting as the speakers themselves.
The lineup of speakers included event host Chuck Salter of Fast Company, Doug Oberhelman of Caterpillar, Jane Park of ComEd, Joseph Paradiso of MIT Media Lab, Brad Keywell of Uptake and Mark Spates of the Internet of Things Consortium. Definitely some powerhouses in the room, right?
Outside of being interested in the subject, it's such a hot-button issue now–for very understandable reasons. Just a few days ago, Fast Company addressed tech addiction and the possibilities of design solutions. Ars Technica came out with an article last week discussing user concerns with the Internet of Things.
I find myself going back and forth almost hourly. On one hand, I know my information is already out there in the world. Every contract I sign and warranty I fill out for a new electronic is another group of people who know something about me. Convenience is a very easy way to give into this change. On the other hand, what I do in life isn't everyone's business. Just because it would be more convenient doesn't mean it's necessary or wanted.
Even if you know exactly where you stand on the issue, I think it's healthy and important to stay updated on where the sector is shifting. The reality is that these shifts already started and there's a lot of much invested in being "the first" to hit the ground running first.
From Caterpillar monitoring equipment across the company's entire footprint and being able to rectified problems to MIT Media Lab's amazing walk through of prototypes for fingernail wearables (and the Chain API discussion)–everyone's trying to figure out innovative and secure ways to make systems speak to each other.
Mark Spates was easily one of my favorite to listen to in the group. The way he simplified connected vs. intelligent devices was inspiring. I'm also researching what I can on the Intelligent Light exercise.
During the live Q&A the question of security was brought up. And I really think this is where the crowds tend to be divided. How do you keep my information safe within one system, let alone an entire ecosystem?"
In Joseph Paradiso's words, "If a product is perceived as threatening, no one is going to buy it."
Disruption of any kind is uncomfortable. It is questioning a way of life that has been around long enough to gain trust and acceptance. However, with the tech explosion we're in the midst of, I feel like we have a few years before anything "slows down" to a more "comfortable" level.
Regardless, it's an interesting ride to be a part of. Let me know your thoughts! I'd love to know where everyone else is standing on this discussion.

The Washington Business Journal revealed their annual Best Places to Work list for 2013 and NetApp was ranked #6 and the #1 IT company in the DC area. Employees are the heart of NetApp's culture, so Government Gurus spoke with employees from the Vienna office to understand what makes it one of the best places to work in DC.
1. Congratulations on being one of DC's best places to work! What is the importance of being recognized as a best place to work in DC?
Shelie Brooks, Field Marketing Manager, DoD: The Best Place to Work ranking is based on candid employee feedback, so if what the employees are saying is good, that says it all. To me, it means that we all enjoy what we do so we don't feel like it's a job.
Jessica Giggey, Account Manager, Federal Financials: Making this list is a huge honor. It means that our employees enjoy coming to work every day and take pride in what they do!
Raj Rana, Sr. Manager, Systems Engineering: Obviously, as with any company with a culture that includes "Get[ting] Things Done", it's logical to expect our leaders to measure our progress against this goal, thus the emphasis on the "Best Place to Work" rankings. It's a way of ensuring that we're able to hit the targets we set for ourselves.
Greg Jacobson, Senior Director, Channel Sales: It hopefully draws others in this community (be they customers, partners or alliances) to want to work with us. An accolade like this puts you a notch above your competition in a very different way.
2. What role does culture play in NetApp DC's ability to succeed with customers, partners, and vendors?
SB: Culture is huge for us at NetApp and we are definitely known for it. Our partners like to get involved when we host charity events because giving back is a big part of our culture. At the end of the day, we work hard and play hard. We work to give our customers and partners what they need to be successful, and we play when celebrating things like GPTW, customer wins, and charity work.
JG: Even though we strive to be a great company to work for – we also strive to be a great company to work with. NetApp is committed to working through the channel and our exceptional network of partners and integrators to make sure we cohesively drive success for our customers. Our culture is contagious and I have found that many of our partners and customers want to be a part of it – and we consider them to be a part of our extended family. After all, NetApp US Public Sector would not be recognized as the #1 storage provider to the federal government without that synergy and a strong ecosystem.
RR: Here in DC, as one of the largest field offices at NetApp, we've been able to develop our own micro-culture. As such, we're also responsible for maintaining our culture, and also, measuring it. Being recognized as a GPTW is a reflection of our strategy, as validated by the most important critics—our own employees. This ranking isn't just confirmation of our employees that they like and appreciate the DC micro-culture (and by extension the overall NetApp Culture), but also lets our customers and partners know that we choose to work here, and that we enjoy it! Studies show that Great Places to Work are able to retain top performers, and better fulfill the needs of our customers and partners. If our employees are fulfilled, they'll be more willing to go the extra mile to give our partners and customers what they need—even if it's not their job.
GJ: It's arguably ALL ABOUT culture. Yes, the technology is a huge differentiator, but when partners and customers simply want to see you and hear from you because they like doing business with NetApp, it means the world. Selling NetApp is easier than other technologies because our customers and our partners WANT us to be successful. Culture is what makes that possible.
3. How long have you been at NetApp? And what attracted you to NetApp?
SB: I have been at NetApp for 5 years, and I am hoping to be here for at least 5 more. I had a close friend that worked at NetApp a few years ago and partners always had good things to say about NetApp. When your partners and customers are saying good things about you, it has to be a great place to work. I've also realized over the years that friendships are formed and when someone leaves they all say the same thing, "I will definitely miss everyone here."
JG: If you ask any employee why they were attracted to NetApp, the answer will most likely be the "NetApp Culture" (shocker!) – but I couldn't agree more. NetApp is consistently ranked in top 10 lists of "Best Companies to Work For" and a big part of that comes from the culture and the type of people it attracts. A good company culture always begins with a common set of values, and at NetApp these values are based on integrity, leadership, simplicity, adaptability, teamwork, going beyond, and getting things done. These values are the heart and soul of the company, and they are evident every day through our customers, colleagues, shareholders, partners, and the community. Joining the NetApp family right after college was definitely one of the best decisions I have ever made and I have thoroughly enjoyed the two years I have spent here. Cheers to many more!
RR: In September, I'll have been here for eight years. What initially attracted me to NetApp isn't what's keeping me here. I was initially recruited by a friend of mine, who was over-the-top excited about working here, and really wanted me to join. However, what's keeping me here is the ability to grow and learn new things—both features of a growth company. While the market has been challenging, NetApp isn't afraid of changing and innovating, whether in our products or in our organizational development. Throughout these changes, I can always trust that executive management has the best interests of our company and organization in mind. While change is always challenging, having this basic need met allows me and my co-workers to focus on the customers and partners, and trust that the changes will work out. And they always have!
GJ: I am in my 8th year at NetApp. A few good industry friends of mine worked here and I remember one of them saying to me "I think you should check NetApp out. There is something really special happening at this place." Six months, 17 interviews later (including an initial Mark Weber rejection), I arrived and haven't thought about doing anything else since.

Donation gives children's wards a boost
Tauranga and Whakatane hospitals will now be able to provide much-needed medical equipment for their children's wards after a generous donation by Countdown Supermarkets.
A total of $99,440 was received by the Bay of Plenty District Health Board this week, which will now go towards crucial medical equipment.
The donation is a result of the Countdown Kids Hospital Appeal, which helps fundraise for 11 hospitals across the country including Tauranga and Whakatane.
Bay of Plenty District Health Board chief executive Helen Mason says the appeal has helped to raise $781,607 throughout 2008-2016.
"It feels amazing to think that we've almost received $800,000 over the course of eight years.
"I think about our paediatric patients who are part of our vulnerable population, they come in again and again with quite significant conditions, so it's amazing they can get additional support."
Last year, the donation helped to raise more than $120,000 which was used towards two pieces of equipment in the maternity unit including a Giraffe Resuscitaire and an i-STAT portable blood analyser.
In the paediatric ward patient monitors and accessories were purchased.
This year's wish list includes a long list of equipment needed by Tauranga hospital such as a Dinamap Carescape monitor, digital chair scales, reichart clear chart and portable spiromentary for the child and youth outpatient ward; an infant Giraffe Resuscitaire and ultrasound transducer for the emergency department; a Panda machine for intensive care unit; as well as oxygen saturation monitors and panda warmer for the maternity unit.
Whakatane hospital have requested for a CTG monitor and trolley.
"Not only does this equipment help our patients, but you find by having up to date equipment it also benefits staff," says Helen.
Bay of Plenty Countdown group manager Martyn Douglas is proud to be part of the initiative.
"The Countdown Kids Appeal gives us a chance to give back to our communities and bring a little bit of good and a smile to the faces of vulnerable children and their families.
"Every year the appeal is growing more, with more customers recognising and supporting it.
"It's great that our staff have gone above and beyond and partnered with the district health board to help raise these crucial funds."

"What happened to you? Full of drink were you?" asked the taxi driver who came to A&E to pick us up and take us back to my home that night.
"I slipped on the wet pavement," I began, my story perfected. "On my way to the theatre. To see the pantomime. I hadn't been drinking. Hadn't had a drink. Just slipped, didn't even fall."
The taxi driver began regaling a tale as soon as I stopped speaking. A tale he had obviously told more than once: "I had a man who I often picked up privately when he came here for business. He was always complaining of a bad neck. I sez to him, 'it's your pillows. The shit ones in the hotel. That's what your problem is' So next time I picked him up he told me that he'd brought his own pillow with him and his neck was perfect. I said 'I told ye so. I told ye' and he says 'You were right'"
Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realise, when you weren't driving a taxi you were a practicing orthopedist.
I suppose, I thought, it was better than him being a usual taxi driver and making racist remarks.
"The problem with the NHS," he began, "are that there are too many foreign nurses. Too many foreigners..."
I spoke too soon... the ignorant twat.
It's only when you break a leg or an ankle that you realise how immobilised you become. How much, in small things, you rely on your freedom of movement. Even making a cup of tea becomes the equivalent of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro.
Getting washed felt like a surgical procedure, laying out all of the necessary tools to perform ablutions. Thanks to a towel placed on the foor, no drips were present for fear of another slip...
I got around the hot cup of tea problem, rather inventively, especially after a friend suggested using a thermos flask, which was a stroke of genius! Said friend also suggested I contact the local authority for them to provide a wheelchair, which wouldn't have helped in an upstairs flat.
As well suggesting the council for a commode, which, out of principle, I wouldn't have used. Come hell or high water, I was going to go to the toilet!
(The tips were appreciated however...)
So, hot cup of tea and inventiveness was made easy as I've two thermos flasks. The large one was filled with boiling water; the small one with milk. Both were carried through in my satchel, which some have scoffed at when I've taken it out and about, but up theirs as it was my trusted friend, companion, a life saver.
A mug was also carried through, along with tea bags and hey presto – a fresh cup of tea was mine.
Screw you, crutches!
Making food wasn't the problem part of eating. No, but transporting the food from the kitchen to the licing room certainly was. The meal was put into tuppaware, sealed and then carried through in my trusty satchel until I was settled . Eating out of tupparware though just isn't right. Felt like was on I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here...
Exhaustion was a curse upon me. Not only from the broken bone, but the painkillers. Codeine, whilst killing any pain, meant slept day away. So when people asked was I bored just sitting around, I truly wasn't. Thanks to the codeine, I wasn't waking and getting up until lunchtime. By time a short shower was had, dressed, tea and breakfast (which I had a cheek to call it...) it was nearing teatime.
Then, being exhausted from all of the former, another nap was needed. Just as well as early evening TV is shit.
Thank god for Miss Marple repeats...
My moonboot was comfortable. Far more than the temporary plaster cast that had been put on me for the first night. So I felt blessed – apart from the breaking of the ankle in the first place, obviously...
I was able to remove the moonboot as and when, which was a huge, huge plus for sleeping and being in bed. I was able to climb into bath to shower, which was a real boon and made me feel like I'd achieved something. Even though it was just being clean.
I was able to wash my hair after a few days.
I was even able to condition my hair, as I'm not a total animal.
In the moonboot, I could also pretend I was Michael Jackson in the 'BAD' video...

Writing an advertising and marketing plan is not a 1-time job. It's something that should be evaluated and updated regularly. As the business grows and changes, your marketing strategy will grow and alter. This is a summary of areas that you ought to be analyzing to be able to determine methods to enhance your marketing strategies:
• Are you currently targeting your intended market audience? Review your current customers and do a comparison for your intended market. If you're not reaching your intended market, you may want to find new ways of achieve them.
• Are you currently achieving profits goals? Compare that which you forecasted for your actual sales.
• Must you improve your strategies? You might find that the strategies aren't meeting your marketing goal. For example, when the census of the buyers change, your marketing strategies will have to change which means you are reaching this new group.
• Are you currently remaining affordable? Review your roi and re-assess the way you spent your marketing dollars. After that you can eliminate strategies which had a minimal roi and allocate that cash to strategies which are improving results.
• Is everything current? For those who have updated or altered your service, make certain your marketing strategy reflects this.
• What's your quantity of new leads? Consider the quantity of leads you will get from each online marketing strategy individually so that you can compare which of them will work better.
• Determine your cost per lead. Will it seem sensible to become spending that quantity to obtain a new customer? Otherwise, you have to find methods to lower this amount.
• Determine the rate of conversion. This is actually the quantity of potential visitors who carry out the preferred action. It's measured if you take the amount of sales and dividing it by the amount of visitors. The bigger the rate of conversion, the greater effective your campaign is.
Companies possess the inclination to create an advertising and marketing plan once, when they're first beginning up and want to get funding, after which either be done with it completely or continue using it also if this becomes outdated. But this would lead to wasted marketing dollars and ineffective marketing strategies. By routinely evaluating your marketing strategy, you'll be able to determine what efforts happen to be effective and that have unsuccessful. You'll be able to result in the necessary changes to ensure that all your marketing money is being allocated to probably the most effective strategies.

You should be.

Not the best, but he was hopefully just trying to motivate you! I'm assuming that he did not know what was wrong. Either way, I wish you the best OP!

The key word here is "might." If you don't have it for sure, no need to stress now. Hopefully it all works out. Just keep a level head.
shmoooopie | 29
I was told once I "might have esophagus cancer" and until my test results came back negative I was terrified. I barely ate or slept and I couldn't think about anything else. I put myself through all that worry and stress but all I can say is if you've never had to wait for a test result like that to come back (which sometimes takes a while) then you can't say anything
arano | 29
I understand being upset but don't let it get the best of you. I'm not being a dick; just trying to make a point.

Not to sound like an ass but when you are a nurse no matter what the patient comes first no matter what is going on at home.. I would take a break if you need one but when it comes to care nothing you have going no matter what can effect your job. Hope it gets better for you
KeannaLove | 32
Ok no. Just because someone has decided to become a nurse or doctor does not mean that their life revolves around patients 24/7. They are allowed to worry about themselves just as much as any other profession. Potentially having cancer can be devastating to hear and OP shouldn't have to hide that emotion.
Red_Curls1995 | 28
Uh no. Just because you're a nurse or doctor doesn't mean you stop being human. I've been to way too many doctors for my age and I can tell you the difference between a nurse/doctor that takes care of themselves mentally and physically vs one who doesn't.
lexa1love | 16
7 are you a nurse? Because I am, and although I am able to put 99% of my life on the back burner when I'm at work. Finding out that I have a potentially terminal disease that will affect my life and family is not one of them. Also she's in school, so she likely isn't the only individual responsible for the patient's care.
By UncleCaitlyn | 21
But keep your eye on the bigger picture colon cancer doesn't matter.
No but if he doesn't know it's semi forgivable and best of luck

The number of security features in Office 365 is growing, one of the cool features we at NetIntegrate have been implementing lately is logging and alerts. To fully be able to setup the alerts you do need Office 365 E5 plan.The feature is administered from the Security & Compliance Admin Center, that can be reached from the Office 365 admin portal. The Security & Compliance Admin Center have as some of the other portals a link by itself.
The alerts is built on policies that the administrator has to setup. in order to be fluent in setting the policies you have to be experienced with the structure of Office 365 components. It is vital to have SharePoint experience as many of the activities that can be logged are based from SharePoint. We at NetIntegrate are already today co-working with Microsoft partners on SharePoint. If you have a partner that is not experienced with SharePoint you can have them contact us.
The policies for alerts are built like this
- Activity to be monitored, such as deleting files/folders or sharing a file outside of the organisation.
- Condition for the activity, such as if the alert is triggered if a certain or all users perform the activity. The number of options is dependent on the activivity.
- Alert threshold, the number of alerts that need to be triggered before an alert is sent.
- Alert category are these Data governance, Data loss protection, Permissions and Threat management
- Alert severity is either low, medium or high.
- Email notifications is who will receive these alerts.
If you don´t have the E5 license you only get the options to setup the activity and the email notifications. That is a good start and can be together with the Audit log search be a good start in monitoring your users activity and behavior. These possibilities for governing the data will be needed for the GDPR, I guess you are now aware of the regulation for data privacy of European citizens. In order to be able to setup policies you have to start logging in the admin center.
The options of governing will be a series of posts on my blog during the summer so stay tuned. I have a plan for all posts until end of July, the posts will be written during the next 2 weeks and scheduled to be released on schedule. For newcomers to my blog I can tell you that new posts are available every Sunday at 3 p.m. local Swedish time, for many of us the workweek starts on Sunday afternoon/evening.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) is proposing revisions to strengthen the 1988 federal underground storage tank (UST) regulations by increasing emphasis on properly operating and maintaining UST equipment. These revisions will help improve prevention and detection of UST releases, which are one of the leading sources of groundwater contamination. The revisions will also help ensure all USTs in the United States, including those in Indian Country, meet the same minimum standards. This is the first time USEPA is proposing significant revisions to the federal UST regulations since they were first promulgated in 1988.
USEPA's proposal revises the UST technical regulation in 40 CFR part 280 by:
USEPA is also proposing to update the state program approval (SPA) requirements in 40 CFR part 281 to incorporate the proposed changes to the UST technical regulation listed above.
USEPA developed resources to help interested and affected stakeholders review the proposed revisions to the 1988 UST regulations.

text: It was with great sadness when I learned that HuffingtonPost began censoring blog posts. I had been a blogger there since 2006, and before HuffPo was sold to AOL, all of my posts were automatically posted to the site instantly. The beauty of blogposts is that the truth can come out without someone else suppressing them from being published. More recently however, when I submitted posts, these articles of mine were delayed up to a week before going up on the site. Such delays rendered time sensitive material completely impotent. At first, I thought the delays were due to merger issues, but the email I received from HuffPo yesterday confirmed that it was due to active censoring, a policy that was not in place before. This is a very scary development since the site had developed a reputation for being a trusted, go-to destination for uncensored news and opinions before this started happening. Continue reading

New Video Celebrates Chevy Suburban's 80th Birthday
This is a big year for the Chevy Suburban—not only did a black 2015 model have the honor of being the 10 millionth vehicle built by the GM Arlington assembly plant last month, but the Suburban itself is currently enjoying its 80th year of continuous production.
By way of wishing the popular (and seemingly immortal) body-on-frame SUV a happy birthday, General Motors just recently released the tribute video below:
The Suburban has worn many masks during its 80-year lifespan, serving as the vehicle of choice for many families, police officers, military personnel, fire chiefs, and even secret service agents.
Almost every Suburban driver you meet is a remarkably loyal devotee of the long-running SUV, and considering the fact that it has been around for eight decades, we suppose that kind of customer allegiance is not too surprising. Many owners of the vehicle are probably second-, third-, or even fourth-generation Suburban drivers.
If you'd like to see more classic Chevy Suburbans, then you're in luck: GM has also released photos showing highlights from the twelve generations of the Suburban. You can learn more about the first six generations by clicking here, and about the last six generations by clicking here.

Pumpkin pie is in the oven, cranberries are ready to be sauced, and the horse knows the way to carry the sleigh, so it can only mean on thing: Thanksgiving time! In honor of the holiday of gratitude, we present some of our favorite "thanks buttons" from the Button Museum collection. Gratitude is in season any day of the year, but especially this week, even if we are just thankful that you're not picking your nose.
Clockwise from top left:
"TGIF" – Hamm's beer button from the 1950s, part of a series of cheeky buttons from the brewing company.
Talk to Me Now – Not knowing the full story behind this button makes it all the more sinister, doesn't it?
Flabbergasted – Gift button made for retail, probably from the 1980s.
Thanks, Pal – Japanese-made litho novelty button with questionable grammar, probably from the late 1960s.
Nose Picker – Social lubricator button, circa 1980s. We have it categorized as humor, but perhaps "public service" is more appropriate?
Thanks for the Dance – Inebriated dancing couple, probably from the early 1960s.

Comparing Two Short Stories -My Brother's Keeper and Do Angels Wear
The two short stories that I am comparing are " My brother's keeper" by Geoffrey
Philp and " Do angels wear brassieres?" by Olive Senior. "My brother's keeper" talked
about history ,race , identity, friendship, family, age, motherhood and sexuality and how
they are defined around cultural and traditional positions. It is about a young man named
Paul and his account of the changes he went through dealing with a step brother he did
not even know existed until the very first day the boy showed up at their door . His step-
brother's name was David and he was coming from America where he was lived with
his mother and father until their death. " Do angels wear brassieres?" is about little girl
named Beccka's quest for knowledge and what she had to go through as a teenager living
with two females in one house .In this story I saw the relationships among family,
friendship, motherhood,voice, tradition, ethnicity and how these fit into the identity of the
individual in addition to their gender ,age and sexuality.
Although " My brother's keeper" and "Do angels wear brassieres?" were written
by two different authors, they had a lot in common .Both of them were set in
the island country of Jamaica and were about single families. From the beginning, the
narrator in " My brother's keep" had anger in his voice. His anger was towards this new
boy coming into his life. But that anger turns into compassion by the end of the story.
" Do angels wear brassieres?" also had tones of anger throughout the story coming from
different people at different times towards Beccka . Relating this to the family ,I saw how
age marginalized relationships in and outside of the family. Even though Beccka sounded
intelligent, she was not allowed to voice her thought because she was a child'.
Both stories are similar...
