A preliminary study suggests that a therapy for severe sepsis or septic shock that included the use of an antibiotic-based "hemoperfusion" device to remove toxic products of bacteria from the blood in addition to conventional treatment resulted in a reduced risk of death and appeared to improve blood circulation and reduce organ dysfunction, according to a new report.
Severe sepsis and septic shock are common problems in the intensive care unit and carry a high risk of death. Endotoxin is one of the principal components of a form of bacteria, with high levels of endotoxin activity associated with worse clinical outcomes. Septic shock of intra-abdominal origin is often associated with high endotoxin levels. "Thus, it represents a condition in which endotoxin-targeted therapy may be of particular benefit," the authors write. Polymyxin B fiber column is a medical device designed to reduce blood endotoxin levels in sepsis. Reducing circulating endotoxin levels with polymyxin B (an antibiotic) hemoperfusion (the removal of toxins from the blood; blood filtering) could potentially improve patient clinical outcomes, according to background information in the article.
Dinna N. Cruz, M.D., M.P.H., and Claudio Ronco, M.D., of St. Bortolo Hospital and the International Renal Research Institute Vicenza, Italy, and colleagues conducted a trial to determine whether polymyxin B hemoperfusion added to conventional medical therapy would improve clinical outcomes and survival compared with conventional therapy alone in patients with severe sepsis or septic shock who underwent emergency surgery for intra-abdominal infection. The randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted at 10 Italian intensive care units. Patients (n = 64) were randomized to either conventional therapy (n = 30) or conventional therapy plus two sessions of polymyxin B hemoperfusion (n = 34).
"In this RCT of surgical patients with septic shock and severe sepsis induced by abdominal sepsis, polymyxin B hemoperfusion therapy was effective in improving 28-day [mortality was 32 percent (11/34) in the polymyxin B group vs. 53 percent (16/30) in the conventional therapy group] and hospital survival, blood pressure, vasopressor [an agent that increases blood pressure] requirement, and degree of organ failure … when added to conventional medical treatment," the authors write.
"Larger multicenter studies are indicated to confirm these encouraging findings in other patient populations. Furthermore, we advocate further studies to explore the use of newer assays for endotoxin activity both for patient selection, as well as guiding the number of hemoperfusion sessions."
Editorial: International Differences in the Treatment of Sepsis - Are They Justified?
In an accompanying editorial, John A. Kellum, M.D., of the University of Pittsburgh, and Shigehiko Uchino, M.D., of the Jikei University School of Medicine, Tokyo, write that the therapy used in this study is common in Japan, but not in the U.S.
"This preliminary study is valuable as an example of 'New Yorkers' testing a Japanese intervention. This kind of cross-community validation is refreshing and necessary but unfortunately only too rare. The results, although preliminary, suggest a number of interesting hypotheses and should provoke further study. This is essential given the significant ongoing problem that sepsis represents."

Reuters - Ernie Els cast aside any lingering doubts about his fitness with a three stroke victory at the dunhill championship at Leopard Creek Country Club. In what developed into a straight shoot-out with overnight leader Ulrich van den Berg of
Els was playing in just his second comeback tournament after knee surgery following a sailing accident at the end of July.
"It's a dream, but it took a lot of work and a lot of rehab. After an injury like that, you're unsure of the future and how it will react," Els told reporters after his 22nd European Tour triumph.
Van den Berg's lead went up from two strokes overnight to four shots when he birdied four of the first six holes in the final round, but he bogeyed the par four ninth hole and then suffered an awful collapse with a triple bogey on the par four 11th and a double bogey on the short 16th, staggering home in 44 strokes.
Els knew the birdies would come and remained patient despite Van den Berg's blazing start. He capitalised on the overnight leader's misfortune with brilliant second shots on to the par five 13th and 15th greens to set up two birdies.
Van den Berg's four over par round of 76 saw him slide into a share of fourth place. The 30 year old went into the water on the par three 16th with a short tee shot and found trouble off the tee on the 11th, took a drop and hit his next shot into a greenside bunker before three-putting.
South African youngsters Louis Oosthuizen and defending champion Charl Schwartzel were in second position on 11 under par 277. Oosthuizen double bogeyed the ninth hole, after finding water twice, to go out in 37 strokes, but rallied with four birdies on the back nine. Schwartzel, who began the round three strokes off the lead, started on the right note by picking up birdies on the first two holes, but he slipped into a tie for second with bogeys on the 10th and 11th holes.
Englishman David
World Number Five Els had just one blemish on his card - a bogey on the treacherous par three seventh hole - and said he was delighted with the way he had played in the final round.
"I played consistently well and hit the ball solid. I concentrated on not making mistakes and I was happy I didn't put myself in trouble. You have to feel for Ulrich. After the wheels came off on 11 and then again on 16, he never lost his composure. He's a fine golfer and a wonderful sportsman and I don't know if I would have reacted that way," Els said.
Van den Berg, who has no European Tour playing privileges, said: "I melted down. I hit a bad tee shot on 11 and lost a lot of confidence."

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and endodontics: a review
B�rklein, Sebastian / Sch�fer, Edgar
Due to the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), HIV infection has gradually become more of a chronic immunodeficiency disease. In response to HAART, the CD4 cell count, in most cases, increases and thereby the HIV-infected patients are at a lower risk of developing opportunistic infections; this leads to an enhanced quality of life and a reduced mortality. Therefore, nowadays, the endodontist is more likely to encounter an HIV-infected patient in need of endodontic treatment. Unfortunately there is a lack of guidelines for the treatment of HIV-infected or AIDS patients. The intention of this overview is to evaluate current knowledge regarding endodontic treatment and its outcome in HIV-infected patients. Keywords: AIDS, CD4 cell count, HAART, infection control, Kaposis sarcoma, prophylactic antibiotic treatment, treatment outcome

I felt like it was just too red and brown in the middle (block one) - and since I've been using blue and grey fabrics in it recently, they should be in the centre too. In my defence, when I put block one together, I hadn't finished purchasing all my fabrics yet.
I considered taking the paper pieced middle apart and replacing the brown diamonds with blue ones, but quickly dismissed that as too much hard work. Instead, I replaced four red squares with fussy cut blue ones, and I'm really happy with the result.
I'd like to say that I won't do any more unpicking and replacing, but I'm not sure it's wise to make such a sweeping statement!
In other news, today after school, I took the kids to the plaza, we were on a mission to make appointments and purchase bits and pieces for Amy's formal (prom) which is coming up in the middle of the year. I'm happy to say that we got pretty much everything done ... and while shoe shopping for her, found these cuties which HAD to come home with ME!
Aren't they darling? I love them!!
Chatter soon friends :-)

Reef Check DR continues to undertake monthly Lion Fish control dives at the Submarine National Park, using trained volunteers and using the equipment purchased with the funds provided through Global Giving.
With combined efforts with the DR Ministry of Environment, and The Nature Conservancy, and the University of teh West Indies in Jamaica, and with funding from the United States agency for international development (USAID), a lion fish management and control workshop was held during August 2012 for over 25 local people, involving divers, GOs and NGOs staff. As part of this efforts, Reef Check DR did 5 lectures for fishermen about lion fish management and control in five locations on DR, Bayahibe, Sajona island, Sanchez, Samana and las Terrenas.
During the past months Reef Check DR, as part of the Lion Fish Initiative, worked in assisting the Carol Morgan School Students (a local American school) in organizing a lionfish derby (using adecuate sustainable fishing gear) at the National Submarine Park that is co-managed by the foundation. By supporting this kind of derby and involving high school students, many learned the details and the threats that the lionfish has posed in the Caribbean. Ten teams of two individuals were registered and prizes for the smallest, the biggest and the largest catches were awarded. After completing this event, as part of the learning experience, Dr. Ruben Torres, President for Reef Check Dominican Republic, aided in setting up a fish tank with two Lion Fish at Carol Morgan School in order to demonstrate invasive species effects. He has also been giving talks about this species in our waters at different grade levels.
In addition, Reef Check Dominican Republic was recognized at TASTE (Gastronomic Fair in Dominican Republic celebrated October 19th 2012) for our Lion Fish initiative achieving the introduction of this species into our gourmet cooking cuisine. Chefs and Media from all over the country participated in this event recognizing the efforts that we achieved with your assistance.
We encourage anyone who wants to keep our continued achievements on the lion fish initiative, which has led to localized control of this invasive species, specially in la Caleta National Marine Park. We hope we can continue these efforts with your kind donations, for more info, visit our website: www.reefcheckdr.org.

Registry keys posted on the web
I've posted the Excel spreadsheet of Registry keys I've been working on here. Take a look, let me know what you think.

I have checked most values on my home desktop box ( win2k ) :
- don't have the following keys :
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Doc Find Spec MRU
The box is connected to several mapped drives. Not shure I understand this:
are these IPs of machines that I'm connected to or machines that are connected
to my box ?
- If the idea is to create a tool that uses 'LastWriteTime' on these values, that
should be a nice and useful tool.
Have a nice day. - 11:13 AM

Be sure to read the description before you check for the key. If the description isn't clear, or isn't detailed enough, please be sure to let me know. You may not have the "Doc Find Spec" key.
With regards to ComputerDescriptions, my work system (XP) has several system names listed as values, but no data associated with them. - 11:30 AM
Fantastic job on this sheet! I'm glad someone has put all this information in one source. I think this will be a very important tool for many people.
Thanks again! - 9:40 AM
I found your page doing a google search for information regarding ComputerDescriptions. I recently completed a vanilla XP install (including all windows updates / SP2) and was surprised to see about a dozen entries in the ComputerDescriptions branch. These entries were the novell user account names of one particular lab (academic environment). Now that I think about it, the novell user account names and their respective computer names are the same. This vanilla PC is also plugged into the same subnet that the lab PC's are connected to. As the vanilla PC does not have the novell client installed I was wondering how these entries found their way into the registry. Perhaps its the MS client picking up on the traffic generated by the lab PC's and entering in the names as it sees them. I should mention that the vanilla PC's workgroup name and the lab PC's workgroup are NOT the same.

Thanks for your comment, but I really think that you answered your own question...
You said, "...I was wondering how these entries found their way into the registry".
But before that, you said, "Now that I think about it, the novell user account names and their respective computer names are the same."
Even though the workgroup names are different, they don't have different domain names...correct? What you may be seeing is the XP system "picking up" the names from the network. - 11:06 AM

The link no longer appears to lead to an excel spreadsheet.

Charlie Brooks, who was recently cleared of phone hacking charges alongside his wife Rebekah, is reportedly planning on standing for Ukip in the next general election.
The racehorse trainer is allegedly in talks with the anti-EU party and is understood to have discussed the possibility with leader Nigel Farage.
An excited Ukip "insider" told the Daily Mail that "Farage has confirmed that Brooks would be a candidate for a constituency in 2015," which would be seen as a blow to the Conservatives.
Mr Brooks and his wife were notoriously close with David Cameron, who is known to have dined and partied with the couple as part of the Chipping Norton set.
Text messages read out in the court during the Leveson Inquiry showed that Mr Cameron signed off messages to Mrs Brooks with "LOL," which he meant as an abbreviation for "lots of love," on a regular basis.
Mr Farage told the paper that he attended a lunch with Mr Brooks after a debate at the CLA Game Fair at Blenheim, Oxfordshire. He said: "We attended lunch after the debate and enjoyed a drink and a chat.
"If Charlie applies, then we'll consider it."
The news of Mr Brooks' possible candidacy for Mr Farage's party comes after the racehorse trainer criticised the manner in which the Prime Minister had commented on Mrs Brooks' situation when the phone hacking scandal first broke.
Mr Cameron told MPs that had Mrs Brooks offered her resignation to him, he would have accepted it, after Rupert Murdoch had refused to accept his former chief executive of News International falling on her own sword.
"I was a little disappointed when he commented in Parliament on whether Rebekah should resign or not because I didn't really feel he had all of the facts at his fingertips to comment on that," Mr Brooks said.
Ukip has not responded to a request for comment.

As a dog trainer, I am constantly challenged to expand my repertoire of training techniques. A one-size-fits-all approach doesn't work in training because each dog is one of a kind. And although all the dogs I've worked with are special, one pup who stands out in my mind is Eldon, a partially blind and completely deaf Australian Shepherd who came in for obedience training.
Eldon was born deaf and partially blind, possibly from a disorder found in Aussies when two merle-colored parents are bred and the offspring inherit two copies of the dominant merle gene. This causes excessive amounts of white in their coloring and is commonly associated with hearing and vision impairment. Unfortunately, many puppies born with the double merle gene are euthanized, yet dogs born deaf or blind can live fulfilling lives. Eldon was lucky enough to be rescued by a loving family who had prior experience with deaf and blind pets.
A Bridge of Communication
Although obedience training is essential for any canine, it's imperative for deaf and blind dogs because it builds a bridge of communication between the pets and their humans.
A critical component of effective training is the marker signal, or immediate signal, which lets the dog know when he does something correctly. The most common markers are the human voice and the clicker. Since Eldon couldn't hear these markers, we had to come up with a signal that he could easily perceive and that we could deliver immediately. The family wanted to train Eldon without a vibrating collar, which is often used for dogs with hearing problems. The collar gives feedback through a light physical vibration on the dog's neck when he performs a behavior correctly, and you follow it with a reward. Eldon had eyesight in one of his eyes and could easily see hand signals during our up-close obedience training sessions. We came up with a hand signal that could be delivered as a marker signal, even with leash in hand, by using a humbs-up signal, which was paired with an immediate reward.
Getting His Attention
One of our biggest challenges was getting Eldon's visual attention back on us when he was sniffing at the end of the leash to scout out the environment. We chose a physical signal — a gentle pull on the leash down and back toward us. As soon as he turned in our direction, we gave him a thumbs-up and reward. After only a couple of tries, Eldon was changing direction to face us as soon as he felt the downward pull on the leash and waiting eagerly for the next direction we would give.
To add commands for each of the behaviors asked, such as the sit or the down, we used hand signals rather than voice. Once a behavior was taught, we added a new hand signal just before the behavior was performed so that it became associated as the cue to prompt the behavior. This worked in up-close training in the basics. But for the "come when called" command, done at a distance, we used a full-arm signal while bending down, which Eldon's limited eyesight could perceive even from afar.
Eldon shone as a training superstar, not only in learning the basics like stay, walking on a loose leash and waiting at the door, but also in learning tricks like roll over, play dead and shake.
Everyone Gets a Reward
Eldon couldn't hear us, but neither his handler nor I could resist cheering out loud as we celebrated each success. When our lessons were up and it was time to send Eldon off on his journey to live as a beloved family pet, I said goodbye with a gigantic smile on my face that didn't fade for hours. Like many other special-needs pets, Eldon didn't waste time feeling depressed over the things he lacked. Instead, he had a bounce in his step and a wag in his tail over the ways he could still enjoy the world around him. Despite a limited ability to communicate, we were united through the language of humane training. Mark Twain said it best when he said, "Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see."

Royal wedding seen giving $1 billion lift to UK economy
LONDON (Reuters) - The marriage of Prince William to Kate Middleton next year could give a 620 million pound ($985 million) boost to the British economy, retail researchers Verdict said on Wednesday.
The forecast came as Asda, Britain's second-biggest supermarket group, said it was already selling a 5 pound mug to commemorate the engagement of the heir to the British throne to his long-term girlfriend, announced on Tuesday.
Verdict estimated the engagement could be worth 12-18 million pounds in merchandise sales, while sales of wedding-related products could top 26 million pounds.
The real boost to the economy, however, could come from creating a "feel-good factor" among consumers that proved elusive this year with the England team's dismal performance in the soccer World Cup.
"If, as expected, it is a big set-piece event, it could well capture the nation's imagination and provide a fillip to the retail sector," said Verdict consulting director Neil Saunders.
Verdict forecast food and grocery retailers could benefit to the tune of 360 million pounds as shoppers buy treats like wine and champagne to toast the happy couple, while travel and tourism revenues could be boosted by an estimated 216 million.

Draining laundry sink into washer stack?
3 Attachment(s)
I'm installing a laundry tub next to the washer in my main floor laundry room. These are photos of the current set up...the water comes up from the basement by hoses to the washer. Then there's this other, extra cold water copper pipe sticking up, don't know why , but I'm hoping I can use it to get cold water at the laundry tub. Hot I'll figure out later. :huh:(It came this way when I bought the place-I didn't do it!)
I'm trying to figure out the correct way to drain the laundry tub into the washer stck...do I put the wye in above or below where the washer drains. I know the washer has to drain at about the height is now, but I could extend the pipe up about a foot if I need to drain the laundry tub above it. My question is- if the tub drains above the washer, is the water fromt he tub really going to make it all the way up there to get to the drain? Seems wrong to me... I'm thinking it would be better to drain the tub below the washer (like in my rudimentary diagram-I'm no artist). Is this code acceptable? Will it work? Are there any issues here I'm not aware of? I wonder about the washer backing up into the sink when it drains- is there a way to avoid that? Some kind of valve perhaps? There doesn't seem to be a vent stack here- just the drain. Although the kitchen sink is on the other side of the wall..I bet it's in the wall somewhere. The other image is of the P-trap under the sink...I've only dryfitted it-does it look OK? Thanks for your advice folks, I'm pretty handy, but mostly with carpentry so far. |
I dont seea vent for your current washer standpipe.
By tapping into that washer standpipe for the laundry sink, the p-trap for the laundry sink may get siphoned out when the large flow of water from the washer discharge begins flowing. |
I can't understand how the washer drain is working now. If that drain system is closed where is the vent coming from?
I also can't imagine how you would drain the sink into the existing drain "above" the washer drain, how's that gonna work? The sink drain to the drain line must be lower than the bottom of the sink, no? Doesn't water still run downhill and drain by means of gravity or has Barrie changed that too? What on earth am I missing? |
You're right Bud. The top of that Wye looked to be capped or has duct tape on it. Also the branch of that wye where the washer drain attaches to looks to have a trap adaptor on it sealing it???
There is a reason "all" washer drain hoses come with a goose-neck on the end. That is to hang the drain hose in an open standpipe. The open standpipe serves as a secondary vent. I don't think the standpipe should be closed off for any reason.
If the standpipe was open and the washer drain had the original gooseneck to hang in the standpipe, then the sink drain could be cut in below the bottom of the sink somewhere and all should work okay. In reality there should also be a vent stack near that drain line that goes all the up and out of the building.:) There also seems to be a missing trap for the standpipe.:) |
They are using that trap adaptor because they are draining into the Wye branch. Cut that Wye out and just like you said hang the hose.
Looka as if the hose has been altered already, maybe ruined.:)
You may want to call a plumber, there are several decencies with your system as it is:
1) The supply pipe should be supported for safety (broken pipe) reasons. 2) The drain stack needs a vent. This could be as easy as installing a AAV at the female pipe fitting now covered with duct tap 3) The washing machine needs a trap 4) The tub will need to drain into the stack below the washer trap. The trap arm of the tub may need a AAV so that siphoning will not occur. I do not believe that the stack is adequate large by code to act as a wet vent for the tub. While it would not meet code, you may be able to use the stack as a wet vent with very little deleterious effects |
There is a trap...
"There is a reason "all" washer drain hoses come with a goose-neck on the end. That is to hang the drain hose in an open standpipe. The open standpipe serves as a secondary vent. I don't think the standpipe should be closed off for any reason." The end was taped when I moved in, since the washer works fine, I never removed it, fo fear of what I might find. You think it should be open?
If the standpipe was open and the washer drain had the original gooseneck to hang in the standpipe,(the drain is attatched into the standpipe, not loose) then the sink drain could be cut in below the bottom of the sink somewhere and all should work okay. In reality there should also be a vent stack near that drain line that goes all the up and out of the building.:) I think the vent stack is inside the wall, because the kitchen sink is on the other side of the laundry room wall. There also seems to be a missing trap for the standpipe.:)[/quote] There is a trap for the washer under the floor in the basement. So, can I just tap into the standpipe with a wye below the washer drain, or not? Thanks, |
Thank you Bud! Much appreciated!
I thoguht that would work, but it's good to get other opinions too, right? :thumbsup: |
As long as the drain is now accepting the high sudden volume of water being discharged from the washer then that water shouldn't back up in the sink.:)
If it was me I would re-install the washer goose-neck and open the top of the drain stack to hang it in, thereby affording additional venting. |
I would still recommend getting a plumber in
1) If the stand pipe is serviced by a trap, then the location of the trap is much too low 2) We do not know if said trap is properly vented 3) If the stand pipe is serviced by a trap, what is the purpose of you adding a trap to the tub? There is none, because the drain circuit is already trapped. 4) There is no need for a "secondary vent". In fact, such an application is precluded by code. A vent should either go to atmosphere outside the house, or be protected by an AAV What you have now is a complete mess, and should be cleaned up |
Tie into the standpipe. It will be fine. You could use a tee or a wye/combo to tie in. You do not have to put a trap under the sink, but there is nothing wrong with using it since you already have it. Good luck.
The P-trap under the sink
I realize it's probably not needed, since there is one just under the floorboards...not too low for the washer, but it's more in case I drop something in the sink- i can fish it out at the P-trap under the sink.
Thanks for all the advice fellas, I think I've got it now. And, Mr. Anti wingnut, thank you for your opinion, but if I could afford to hire a plumber, I wouldn't be asking how to do this! :no: |

I am a single parent looking for help. I have strong faith in the Lord and have been trying to wear a smile on my face knowing that GOD will pull me through...however I do have to admit that as the days inch closer to Thanksgiving I cannot help but to feel overwhelmed at the fact that there will not be a different dinner other than Pasta or something that I can afford nor will there be presents for my two wonderful children at Xmas. I am reaching out to you in efforts to ask for the help that I so badly need. I will tell you a little more about myself as I don't want you to think that I am trying to take advantage of your generosity. As I mentioned I am the mother of a 3 year old boy and 11 year old girl. They are genuinely good kids who have not given me any problems. About a year and a half ago my husband walked out on our family, as you could imagine the pain and suffering of that alone has created a great sadness in our household. I recently found out that he had gotten another woman pregnant and they just gave birth about to a baby girl..this has been especially hard for my daughter. Nevertheless, I have filed for the divorce in attempt to get any type of financial support for the children and all of the debt that my husband left behind. Our home is going into foreclosure and for the first time in my life I can truly say that there is never really enough to eat. I am truly humbled by this experience and never in my life could imagine being hungry. I am intelligent, employed and love being with children. I have asked for help from some agencies but I have not qualified because I am employed. My life is slowly falling apart and I trust that with help I can get back on my feet. I stand in faith and know that one day God will see us through. If you can help I would be greatly appreciative! Also if you have information on resources! Thank You!
Hello my Name is Angela. I am a mother of 4 whom loves my girls. As i was browsing websits to inquire about assistance for the upcoming holidays, i noticed Aidpage. Right now I am currently receiving public assistance. I am looking in hopes to give my children a healthly and joyful holiday. I am also on social security disablity for clinical depression. I have been suffering from it almost all my life. As i type i am starting to feel like insisting i am not a lazy and unproductive person. I cook clean and pay my utilities, which then leaves me barely nothing to even think about the holidays. It has been this way for years. I just wish this year could be different. My girls are getting older and see the comercials for the holidays and i'm sure they get tired of me telling them i dont have it....So i got a whim to go online and look up some help agencies in hopes i don;t have to give them that same line " i don;t have it" .....Thanks for reading...And 2 you and YOurs "Happy Holidays" Miss Angel ,,,firstname.lastname@example.com

I was reminded recently by my San Francisco colleague, Michael Carbone (Mediation Strategies Web Log), of the importance of thorough preparation prior to mediation. See "Effective Preparation," posted September 26, 2009. In that post, Michael reminds plaintiffs and their attorneys that "[i]f [they] will be negotiating with an insurance carrier or other institutional party who must complete an internal evaluation in advance of the mediation, be sure to provide them with all of the information that they will need."
This advice is especially important if there are factual disputes on the extent of damages or their causal relationship with the events giving rise to liability. Typically, such issues are going to be the subject of expert testimony — usually medical experts, in the case of personal injury — if the case doesn't settle. Unless the Insurance carrier for the defendant is presented with hard and persuasive documentary evidence of what that testimony is going to be, expect the claims rep and defense counsel to negotiate on the basis that such evidence is unlikely to be forthcoming at trial.
Insurance carriers and defense attorneys know that you have the burden of proof on these issues, and they expect you to demonstrate how you plan to meet that burden before they will write a substantial check. See my post of September 3, 2009, entitled "Little Blank Spaces." Don't expect to persuade the other side at mediation, e.g., that your client "probably" has a permanent disability caused by the accident at issue unless you have a medical expert's opinion to back it up.
I know that doctors cost a lot of money and sometimes they are hard to deal with, etc., etc. I also know that in many cases, experienced counsel can guess pretty well from the medical records what the doctors are going to say about fairly routine injuries. And I know as well that it can be frustrating to have to pay several hundred bucks to get a doctor to put in writing what to you may seem obvious. But if you insist on avoiding that expense, be prepared to have the value of your client's case discounted considerably by the other side. And your chances of changing their perception during the course of a mediation are slim indeed.

What the..???
I was also reading a great book at the same time, 'The Perks of Being A WallFlower' by Stephen Chbosky, so I was pretty focused on that.
All the while, my jacket was on the back of my chair.
When I was finished and was getting up to leave, I put my jacket on, zipped it up, and put my hands in my pockets.
Except...something was in there.
I pulled my hand back out, and someone had placed an empty 'Twix' candy bar wrapper in my jacket pocket!
Ok, as much as I would have LOVED to have been the one to devour that delicious chocolate bar, I didn't.
So clearly, someone thought it would be really cute to put garbage in my pocket as I was sitting there. How rude!
And I didn't even realize it! I must've been so into that book that I wasn't paying attention.
It's a good thing I didn't leave my phone or wallet in my jacket pocket while I was having lunch!
What is wrong with people?
I mean, this wasn't really a big deal. Someone was being stupid, but nobody got hurt here.
However, This incident reminds me of a time many, many years ago when I was in elementary school. I was in 5th grade.
We had all filed into the gymnasium for a school assembly. We had to sit indian-style on the floor, with the kindergarteners in the front and the big 6th graders in the back.
I was sitting there in the last line of the 5th grade row, with the 6th graders right behind me.
All of a sudden, I felt this tug on the back of my pants, as if someone was pulling on my belt loop. Weird...but I didn't turn around or do anything.
Later, after the assembly, I realized that whoever was behind me had cut my belt loop! With a knife or something equally sharp!
I was so sad. Those were my favorite pants!!! I actually cried because my favorite jeans were ruined!!
I don't know what made me angrier: The fact that someone had the nerve to cut my belt loop, or the fact that I was too chicken to turn around and say anything while it was happening.
If it happened today, things would be MUCH different, as I would probably beat his ass!
My mom did ask me about my jeans when she was doing laundry. I didn't tell her the truth because I KNEW she would've called the school immediately and opened up a can of WHOOP-ASS on my principal!
Look...I have no idea why the Twix incident brought up this memory, but it did.
The difference here is that in elementary school, kids do things that they shouldn't but we chalk it up to 'being a child.' From what happened yesterday, that is just plain immaturity and stupidity!
At least they could've put the Twix wrapper in my pocket with one of the bars still uneaten...as a gift for me! I mean...that would be the polite thing to do, right?

Wow, now I'm thinking how this is linked to the cafeteria being the "equalizer." Haha. It's like we're all back in school. Wonder if they were sitting there watching you. An old John Lithgow, waiting to see how you'd react, to determine if you'll be wearing pajamas and playing with a train soon. (Dexter reference). Awe, I totally miniturized you as a kid and saw like faded "American Idol" gray memories of balloons and pants being cut. Sorry Paul, hope you have a better day today!!! Thanks for the distraction.
Oh, and this is probably really weird and crossing the line of blog commenting. But, I saw a status once where you said, "Is it OK to say that you're sad on facebook?" Well, after that, I had a dream and you were buying groceries in a line, and I walked by and said, "Feel better Paul." In sum, if you want to scare someone who konws you, but not too well... 1) comment on a lot of the great things they write 2) reference Dexter 3) tell them you dream about them... I think that covers it! :)If I were you, I'd seriously think about going back to the same cafe and sit in the same seat or general area, and at the same time. Why? Because you may be on the same schedule/routine as the person who put the wrapper in your pocket.
Which leads me to the next delectable point - this time, put a couple wooden mousetraps in your pockets, and sit back and wait.
(But don't forget later that the traps are in your pocket!)When I was in high school my girlfriend had my locker combo, and told a few of her close friends so that they could decorate my locker. After that, I had things stolen out of my locker all the time, that I eventually had to get the combination changed. It was awful. I have no idea why your blog reminded me of this, but yet people can be very cruel sometimes.
ReplyDeleteThe nerve of them, Paul!
I had a rough time in school myself. I think it's what caused me to become quiet as an adult. Unfortunately a lot of that still sticks with me.
It's not about being "chicken" but rather handling the situation in the only way you knew how at the time.
As far as the Twix incident. Well, I'm sure that place is PACKED during lunch-time, no? Perhaps someone sitting too close put the candy bar wrapper in your jacket instead of theirs by mistake?
If not, they were being an ass and it'll catch up with them one of these days!
Next time have some mousetraps set in your pockets. That'll show them!
-DeanGreat post. Reminds me of a time when my dining partner thought it would be "funny" to take the anchovy off his Caesar salad and hide it in the sugar bowl on our table at the restaurant. Thrill seeker? perhaps. Idiot? Certainly. I'm glad it was just an empty Twix wrapper -- and not an anchovy -- in your pocket. Love the blog.

2002 Bentley Azure Review
Luxury convertible that combines glamour with performance.
Reviewed by Automotive on
While many people think of chauffeur-driven luxurious sedans when they think of Bentley, the company also produces cars with drivers in mind, such as the 2002 Bentley Azure. Introduced in 1995, this large, two-door, four-passenger luxury convertible underwent a design refresh in 1998, and has remained the same since then. Available in two trim levels, the base and the high-performance Mulliner, 2002 marks the final year of production for the base trim of the Bentley Azure.
The Range
Engines: 6.75-liter V-8
Transmissions: four-speed automatic
Models: Bentley Azure, Bentley Azure Mulliner
What's New
For the launch of the 2002 Bentley Azure, no changes or modifications appear. In fact, no changes have been made to this luxury convertible since it underwent a design refresh in 1998.
The 2002 Bentley Azure uses the same chassis as the Continental R. The chassis gets modified to allow for a four-passenger convertible, and due to the fact that antiroll bars were not included, it was also significantly reinforced. From the outside, the 2002 Bentley Azure conveys a sense of elegance and presence, while not belying its power.
The large size of the Azure allows for a roomy interior, as well as plenty of cargo space in the trunk. To minimize loss of cargo space, the power roof top stows behind the rear seats under a panel that sits flush with the car. Opening or closing the roof top comes with the simple press of a button inside the convertible.
By upgrading to the Mulliner, drivers get more standard features that enhance the car. The 2002 Bentley Azure Mulliner features 18-inch wheels over the 17-inch standard wheels, as well as front air dams, wheel-arch flares, and a mesh grille. As with the interior, the exterior of the 2002 Bentley Azure, including the bodywork, can be modified by the purchaser to make each and every convertible truly one of a kind.
Pure luxury awaits any Bentley driver and the 2002 Bentley Azure does not diminish these expectations. The roomy interior comes covered in two-tone Connolly leather with fine wood trim and lamb's wool carpets. Bolstered seats provide maximum comfort for all passengers, and front bucket seats are heated. Power front seats with four memory settings ease entry and exit to the rear of the convertible by moving automatically when the seatback tilts forward.
Standard features in both models of the 2002 Bentley Azure include a console-mounted, six-disc CD changer with a remote control and keyless entry. With several types of wood grain trims to choose from, plus a myriad of optional features, every 2002 Bentley Azure can be completely customized from tip to tail by the purchaser.
Performance & Handling
The 2002 Azure comes equipped with a 6.75-liter, V-8, turbocharged engine that provides 400 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque. It couples with a four-speed automatic transmission that provides extremely fast acceleration and a reported top speed of 150 mph. The engine in the 2002 Bentley Azure Mulliner has been tuned so that it produces 420 horsepower and an additional 60 lb-ft of torque. The suspension of the Mulliner has also been modified to produce a smoother and more comfortable ride.
Although the 2002 Bentley Azure makes for a large car in all measurements, it still provides a sporty ride. The automatic ride control system, which uses a computer to control and modify the suspension dampers based on road conditions, optimizes ride comfort and handling. The full-length lever arm front suspension and semi-trailing rear arm suspension make this rear-drive vehicle exciting to drive. Steering and handling feel precise so that maneuvering seems surprisingly nimble for a car this size, although cornering at speed causes body roll.
Within the 2002 Bentley Azure, standard safety equipment includes anti-lock brakes with electronic brake force distribution, traction control, front and rear adjustable headrests, and front seat belt pretensioners. Front airbags for the driver and front-seat passenger provide the only standard airbags. Side airbags and rear airbags remain unavailable the 2002 Azure.

"If I am going to be a writer, earning a living in the era of digital text, I need to understand where the opportunities are. They won't disappear, they'll just be different, and need to be recognised. In the last days of Vaudeville Theatre, they sued Marconi because radio was killing Vaudeville, where you had to pay to go into a relatively small room to listen to music and voice. But it didn't kill music, the outcome was a thousand times more music, making a thousand times more money, reaching a thousand times more people. But in the short term, there was panic. If digital text will result in hundreds more authors, with hundreds more novels, I need to be in the middle of eBooks. I need to be heavily engaged. All those people downloading my text is good news."

The 49ers' men's basketball schedule won't be released for a few weeks yet, but -- unofficially -- here are some highlights:
-- The 49ers will resume their rivalry with Davidson with a Dec. 11 game at the Wildcats' Belk Arena. Charlotte and Davidson haven't played since 2007.
-- Charlotte will play Tennessee at Time Warner Cable Arena on Dec. 17.
-- The 49ers play at Georgia Tech on Jan. 2, the same day the Carolina Panthers play the Atlanta Falcons in the Georgia Dome at 1 p.m. Gametime for the 49ers-Yellow Jackets hasn't been announced, but 49ers officials are hoping it's at night or late afternoon.
-- The 49ers will open the season in a tournament in Charleston, along with N.C. State, Georgetown, George Mason, Wofford and East Carolina. The final two teams of the eight-team tournament have yet to be announced.
-- There's talk that the home opener will be Nov. 27 against S.C. State, part of a doubleheader with the 49ers' women's team. Their opponent? Duke.
-- The rest of the non-conference schedule will include home games against Winthrop and Wright State and away games against Mercer and East Carolina. Dates on all of them aren't firm yet.
-- The Atlantic 10 schedule hasn't been announced yet, but Charlotte has home-and-home league games against George Washington, Richmond and Xavier, while it will play home games against Dayton, Fordham, La Salle, Massachusetts and Saint Joseph's. On the road: Duquesne, Rhode Island, St. Bonaventure, Saint Louis and Temple.

Davidson back on 49ers' schedule
7 comments:

playing East Carolina at home and away? that's odd.
- Anonymous said...
Glad Davidson's back on the schedule. Those Ws always come in handy and Davidson loves giving us Ws.
- Observer Sports said...
Andrew, that's fixed. Thanks.
- Anonymous said...
looks like a pretty good schedule. I like the Charleston tourney location and the schools invited so far.
Too bad Tenn. won't play us in Halton though. - 10:49 PM
- Charles The Pipkins said...
With a little investigation, as in going to other schools website...not rocket science David, you will see the dates for a lot of these games:
November 27th: Radford(we still play SC State though)
December 7th: Winthrop
December 22nd: Wright State
December 30th: at Mercer

I can't believe Davidson agreed to play us. But it's doubtful that the Hornet's Nest Trophy is going anywhere.
- Anonymous said...
Screw Davidson and McKillop's ego. They are blip on the Curry family gene pool. They are better than us at their place, but I think Chris and Shamari will make sure we don't back down.

NEW YORK (AP) - The city's comptroller announced Monday that he plans to make public the inner workings of one of the nation's largest public pension fund systems, letting residents see which companies' stocks are being bought with their tax dollars and monitor the performance of more than $113 billion in investments.
Much of the plan will require the agreement of members of the boards of trustees that govern the five city pension funds, but Comptroller John Liu said he believes that the trustees will readily agree to reverse a longstanding practice of confining most discussions to private sessions and that they will be willing to allow detailed information on the funds' holdings and how they are performing to be published and updated regularly.
"Pensioners as well as taxpayers deserve to know how their money is being invested and spent," said Liu, a Democrat. "I share the trustees' commitment to increase transparency, which in turn leads to better performance."
The funds' holdings, worth $113.4 billion on Dec. 31, include shares in thousands of companies. But there has never been an easy way for New Yorkers to determine which companies' stocks are being bought with their tax dollars, and summary reports have traditionally lagged by months.
Liu's plan would put all of those holdings online and update them daily, along with information about the portfolio managers hired by the city to handle the funds. The data will allow members of the public to track the performance of individual managers and hold them accountable, Liu said.
Representatives of the police and firefighters unions and District Council 37, a union representing many of the city's workers, said they would support the transparency initiatives from their seats on the funds' boards. The mayor's office did not immediately respond to inquiries on whether its representatives would support the plan.
The proposed website, to be completed by Jan. 1, 2013, would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, to be provided by Liu's office and by the funds themselves, he said.
Liu also wishes to place each of the funds' expenditures in an online database, along with information on their payroll spending.
By July 1, Liu said, he will begin Internet video broadcasts of the public portion of trustees' meetings, launch an online library containing quarterly fund overviews and other fund-related documents and create a web page that answers frequently asked questions about the funds.
The funds currently make about 50 to 100 shareholder proposals each year and vote on thousands of others, and the online library also would contain information on those proposals.
The funds serve about 700,000 current and former employees of the city, which has more than 8 million residents. They have been the focus of much attention recently as Democrat-turned-Republican-turned-independent Mayor Michael Bloomberg has argued that the city's long-term fiscal outlook is compromised by its ongoing pension obligations.
City union officials have accused the mayor of blaming the pensions when the misdeeds of Wall Street are at fault, but the city says that pension costs have been skyrocketing since before the downturn hit.

Noooooooo...we're closed :(
After 6 1/2 years of frying up authentic British Fish & Chips to the masses, it is with extremely mixed emotions that I announce that Tuesday 29th November 2016 was Mac's Fish & Chip Shop's last day of business.
It has been an extraordinary ride so a massive thanks to the customers, staff, suppliers, friends, family and caffeine-based products who have supported us along the way. Running a restaurant may be up there as the most physically and emotionally demanding things we have ever taken on (and remember, we have three young kids!), but we want to step down on a high and make way for a fresher set of legs and brain cells. My family will be happy to go on our first family vacation in six years. My friends will be happy that I don't permanently smell of fish and, frankly, I'm sick of faking this ridiculous British accent. Our successors at 503 State St (Hana Kitchen, who have outgrown their current Haley Street location and need more room to expand) intend to give our staff the opportunity to apply for positions in their new home so hopefully there will be little disruption to their employment.
Thanks again for all your support and, whatever you do, live life to the Mac's (can you believe you that's the first time I've used that pun?).
Mac, Mrs Mac & Crew
Welcome to MAC'S, an authentic British Fish & Chip shop in Santa Barbara, California where cod is our god, batter matters, mushy peas please, chips are hip and the pies appetize...and the website is cheesier than a mouse's fridge.
Food Network at Mac's
Here are the most frequently asked questions about our Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives Experience..
When Are You Guys
Going To Be on Telly?
What you really mean is, when are you guys going to be a
Hollywood A-List couple who are referred to as one single name (Mac + Kate =
Mate. Or Kate + Mac = Kac. Let's stick with Mate). Our episode was filmed over three days in
late October 2011 (two days for process and crowds shots and one day with Guy)
and will be aired on Food Network on Monday
23rd January 2012 at 7pm.
After this date we'll be charging $100 for use of our image and $500 for
semi-nude beach shots of us.
Did Guy Really Come to Eat Here?
He really did. And he brought a crew of
8 people with him. His son (Hunter, who
appears in our episode and taught me how to throw a football), One Producer
(who had recently quit smoking…bad idea), Two Camera Men (who had more grand
titles like directors of photography), A Sound Guy (who was married to the
producer), An Assistant (what a lovely fella), his Camero Driver (who was also
director of brown smoothies) and an Intern (the poor, poor thing).
What Did He Eat?
A little bit of everything really. We cooked three dishes together for the show
(Fish & Chips, Toad In The Hole and Haggis) but he snacked on a sausage
sandwich as well as a platter of chips and anything else that wasn't nailed
down. His drink of choice, Coke – that
may be where his energy comes from.
Did He Love Everything?
He certainly seemed stoked with the Fish & Chips and the
Toad In The Hole (I may even have seen the forming of a tear in his eye when
tasting the Yorkshire Pudding) but viewers of the show will know of his
aversion to anything classified as offal so he hated the haggis from start to
finish. He even bought a sick bag for
our haggis butchery and prep scenes but I'm happy to report it remained unused.
Is Guy a Nice Guy?
We agree that he was a thoroughly nice guy who seemed
genuinely interested in our restaurant, our food, our lives and our continued
success. He even took time to have a
candid one-on-one with me at the end of filming with some really solid advice
on getting ready for the DDD crowds. But
whether he is actually nice is really Santa's call.
How Did You Get On
The Show?
Contrary to most people's cynical belief, they actually
contacted us. When I asked them how they
heard of us (we'd only been open just over a year when they first got in
touch), they said that some of our customers had written in (bless you guys)
and that they follow trending restaurants on review sites such as Yelp.
Why Did It Take Three
Days To Film For 12 Minutes Footage?
Because those Food Network people are unbelievably
thorough. Like OCD thorough. Before anyone even turned up, I had already
spent about 30 cumulative hours on the phone explaining every minute detail our
processes in triplicate. Ours was also a
slightly longer shoot than usual because of the complexity of some of our
dishes. By way of example, our haggis
usually takes two days to make so I had to have the haggis at five different
stages of readiness…on two separate days.
We were told on many occasions that ours was probably the most
complicated shoot that they had ever done on DDD, and again I'd like to point
out that our producer had just quit smoking some three days before meeting us.
Did You Get Paid To
Be On It?
Nope. In fact we lost
out on three day's takings and gave away an incredible amount of food. But it is priceless exposure for us given
that DDD is the Food Network's most watched show.
How Natural Are The
Crowd Scenes And Interviews?
About as natural as Kraft Singles slices. We had to arrange for customers to come at
precise times on two separate occasions; one of them waaaay too early in the
morning to be chowing on haggis and making "mmmm" sounds. The people in our crowd scenes are regular
customers who, over the course of the last 18 months, we have come to think of
as friends. Whilst they were being
interviewed, the rest of the diners had to eat in complete silence resulting in
this super-awkward voyeuristic dining experience. That being said, it was unanimously agreed
that Guy's interviews were extremely relaxed and people didn't even realize
they were being filmed until it was all over.
The camera adds 10lbs and there were multiple cameras on me
at any one point.

Looks So Fat?
