Understanding Restaurants: The Manager's Perspective
Archeologists have recently discovered a cave in Egypt believed to be the first restaurant. Obviously it would not meet our modern interpretation of a restaurant. It is clear from inscriptions on the wall that people did come in and were served food. Barter took place and guests typically ate their food there. One inscription depicts […]
Understanding Restaurants: The Guest Perspective
They say that no two snowflakes are ever the same. The number of possibilities in the formation of a snowflake leads to countless subtle differences. While this may be true, there are certain generalizations we can make about snowflakes. They are cold, white, and melt at temperatures above freezing. Snowflakes can be unique while still […]
Understanding Restaurants: The Other Perspectives
Servers are required to constantly juggle multiple priorities on a minute-by-minute basis. Continually reevaluating what is the most urgent guest need and how to address other needs efficiently to prevent anticipatable needs from becoming urgent. Our guests, managers, and co-workers determine our priorities. All three of these groups have no problems speaking up and letting […]

Tariffs and Firm-Level Heterogeneous Fixed Export Costs
This paper presents a two-country intra-industry trade model with bilateral ad valorem tariffs and fixed export costs that are heterogeneous across firms. In this model not all firms will choose to export. We examine the effects of reciprocal changes in the tariff and the fixed export barrier on the number of firms, firm profits, tariff revenue and consumer welfare. We show that both types of trade barriers reduce (increase) the number of exporting (pure domestic) firms. However, the sum of available home and foreign varieties increases for small tariffs. Firm profits are falling in both tariff and fixed export cost barriers. Tariff revenue falls when fixed export costs increase whereas we have a Laffer curve effect for the tariff. Welfare falls when fixed export costs increase and increases for small tariffs and falls for large tariffs, i.e. there exists a welfare maximizing tariff.

The 85th Texas Legislature Is Coming to Town
Veteran and rookie lawmakers, hundreds of lobbyists, and thousands of private citizens will descend onto Austin beginning Jan. 10 for the start of the 2017 Texas legislative session. Medicine will be well represented.
As always, the TMA professional staff will complement the relationships that physician leaders have built with their senators and representatives as they work to promote TMA's 2017 agenda. Tops on the list are the state budget, insurance reform, scope of practice, telemedicine, the Texas Medical Board, and public health priorities. Specifically, TMA will be fighting for:
For more details on TMA's legislative agenda, see "Building on Success" in the January issue of Texas Medicine.
When the legislature convenes Jan. 10, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick will begin his second session as presiding officer in the Senate, and Rep. Joe Straus (R-San Antonio) is expected to be reelected to his fifth term as speaker of the House.
Seven physicians, all TMA members, will serve in the 85th Texas Legislature:
Senator Schwertner, an orthopedic surgeon, will chair the Senate Health and Human Services Committee. Sen. Jane Nelson (R-Flower Mound), another longtime friend of medicine, will chair the budget-writing Senate Finance Committee. House committee members and chairs will be appointed later this month.
TMA member physicians and medical students, and TMA Alliance members play a significant role in advancing medicine's priorities at the Capitol. Here are five ways you can help:

Paxton: DOs Are Physicians
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton flatly rejected a Houston probate judge's assertion that Texas law did not allow doctors of osteopathy (DOs) to file certificates of medical examination needed for mental health commitments.
"Refusing to accept a certificate of examination for mental illness from a physician solely on the basis that the physician holds a degree designation of doctor of osteopathy rather than a degree of medicine appears to constitute the type of discrimination that the Legislature specifically sought to avoid," General Paxton wrote in an official opinion. "We find no authority to reject a certificate of medical examination for mental illness solely on the degree designation distinction."
The issue landed in the attorney general's lap late last year at the request of State Senate Health and Human Services Committee Chair Charles Schwertner, MD (R-Georgetown). Senator Schwertner was outraged at Probate Judge Rory Olsen's decision.
"As a physician, I find Judge Olsen's attempt to singlehandedly redefine the practice of medicine both reckless and profoundly misguided," he wrote in a letter asking General Paxton to affirm that MDs and DOs enjoy the same legal rights.
At that point, Judge Olsen announced he would accept commitment requests signed by DOs, pending the decision from General Paxton.
Before Senator Schwertner's intervention, TMA, the Harris County Medical Society, the Texas Osteopathic Medical Association, the Federation of Texas Psychiatry, and the American Osteopathic Association had all written to Judge Olsen explaining the legal equivalence in Texas of allopathic and osteopathic physicians. "Eliminating DOs' authority in the most populous county in Texas could have disastrous consequences for the health and safety of persons who physicians have determined need protective psychiatric care," they wrote.

TMA's Medicaid Recommendations Can Improve Care, Reduce Costs
As state lawmakers begin preparing for the 2017 legislative session, TMA and four state specialty societies delivered a detailed, five-page document with significant recommendations to improve the Texas Medicaid program. Among the suggestions submitted to the Senate Health and Human Services Committee:
The organizations' recommendations cite Texas' uninsured rate, with more than 5 million Texans lacking health insurance. "Among adults, the majority of the uninsured work, but either they cannot afford employer-sponsored insurance, or it isn't available. Purchasing private health insurance is prohibitively expensive for low-income families. But insuring more low-income Texans does not have to mean expanding traditional Medicaid. A half-dozen conservative states — including Indiana and Michigan — have implemented innovative programs to privately insure more people mostly paid for with federal dollars," the testimony states.
Rather than expanding traditional Medicaid, TMA, the Texas Pediatric Society, the Texas Academy of Family Physicians, the Texas Association of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists-District XI urge lawmakers to "develop a plan, tailored to Texas' unique circumstances, to cover more than 1 million uninsured individuals." They explain the plan would "provide low-wage, working Texans with private insurance that includes copays and personal responsibility."
The organizations' testimony also supports efforts to extend the 1115 Medicaid Transformation Waiver. "Even with broader health care coverage, the safety net system's ability to care for vulnerable Texans will be seriously imperiled if hospitals lose supplemental federal funding for uncompensated care. Moreover, the Delivery System Reform Incentive Payments funding designed to test new ways to deliver and pay for care is starting to show genuine improvements in health outcomes. The waiver renewal must ensure greater community-based physician involvement in waiver planning and evaluation," they wrote.
Vendor Drug Program Adds In-Demand Eye Drop Products to Formulary
TMA and the Texas Ophthalmological Association asked the Texas Health and Human Services Commission to take action to improve availability within the Medicaid Vendor Drug Program (VDP) of atropine 1% eye drops, which were in short supply at some Texas pharmacies. In response, in October 2016, the VDP added some atropine 1% eye drop products to the formulary.
Visit the VDP website to access information on formulary products containing atropine.
Physicians who continue to experience problems obtaining atropine 1% eye drops can email email@example.com. In your email, provide the National Drug Code for the specific product that is unavailable.
TMB-Teladoc Lawsuit on Hold
The Texas Medical Board (TMB) and Teladoc are in "negotiations," as both have filed motions to put Teladoc v. TMB on hold until April 19, 2017. The previous trial date was set for February.
According to Law 360, "the move comes about two weeks after the Texas Medical Board voluntarily dismissed its appeal asking the Fifth Circuit to bar Teladoc Inc.'s antitrust challenge of the state rule requiring a face-to-face visit. U.S. District Judge Robert Pitman lifted the stay in the case on Oct. 25 and ordered the parties to submit a revised scheduling order by Nov. 8. But Teladoc and the medical board asked the court to reconsider." The court granted the stay on Nov. 4.
The Nov. 2 report of the Texas Sunset Commission on TMB does not address in any way the antitrust TMB exposure Teladoc asserted in the lawsuit. It also does not mention the Federal Trade Commission's staff position that state licensing bodies that have a majority of the licensees it regulates in control of the board are not protected from federal antitrust actions. For more information about Teladoc's antitrust claims against TMB, read "Seeking Invalidation" in the April issue of Texas Medicine.
Other states are attempting to address the antitrust issue, and some have passed remedial legislation to bolster their state action exemption argument to protect their licensure boards. The Texas Legislature may do the same next year. In addition to TMB, all of the state's professional licensing agencies are up for sunset review in the 2017 legislative session.

Court Sides With TMA in Final Ruling on Chiropractic Scope of Practice Lawsuit
We won! In a final judgment by Travis County District Court Judge Rhonda Hurley, TMA prevailed in its long-held declaration that the Texas Board of Chiropractic Examiners' (TBCE's) rules permitting chiropractors to make medical diagnoses and perform other medical procedures exceed the chiropractic scope of practice.
By voiding the rules, Texas chiropractors can't perform vestibular-ocular-nystagmus (VON) testing. The court also specified that the definitions of "musculoskeletal system" to include "nerves," "subluxation complex" as a "neuromusculoskeletal condition," and use of the term "diagnosis" by TBCE in its rules all exceed the scope of practice as defined by the Texas Occupations Code.
TMA has always maintained that expanding chiropractors' or any other practitioner group's scope of practice requires legislative action to amend state laws governing licensees in Texas. It is not something the regulatory boards can do on their own.
TMA and the chiropractic board have a history of litigation. TMA prevailed in its lawsuit over TBCE rules that allowed VON testing by chiropractors. TMA sued the board in early 2011 and emphasized to the court that allowing some chiropractors to perform VON testing puts Texans' health in danger and that the diagnostic test is outside chiropractors' scope because "the eyes and ears are not part of the spine or musculoskeletal system of the human body."
The trial court sided with TMA, but TBCE appealed the decision. TMA asked the Third Court of Appeals to uphold the trial court ruling, saying in part that:
In a previous case challenging TBCE's rules on needle electromyography and spinal manipulation under anesthesia, the Court of Appeals held that there were unresolved fact issues that required the court to reverse the trial court's judgment. The case was remanded to the trial court for a full trial on the merits and as before, TMA prevailed.

What Happened to 2017's Half-Percent Medicare Fee Hike?
Zero. That's how much physicians' overall Medicare fees will go up next year, according to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' (CMS') complex rule on the 2017 proposed Medicare Physician Fee Schedule.
What happened, the Harris County Medical Society's Board on Socioeconomics wants to know, to the 0.5-percent Medicare payment increase physicians were supposed to see thanks to the passage of the bill last year that eliminated Medicare's Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) formula?
Well, as they say, "it's complicated."
The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA), which erased the SGR, did indeed include what CMS calls a 0.5-percent "positive update" for physicians every year from 2016 through 2018. Physicians, however, didn't see a positive update this year for the same reason they probably won't get one in 2017, and may not get one in 2018, explains Donna Kinney, TMA's director of research and data analysis.
The disappearing updates all stem from another piece of federal legislation passed in 2014 that requires CMS to set an annual target for reduced Medicare spending on physicians' services "resulting from adjustments to relative values of misvalued codes." That target for 2017 is a 0.5-percent reduction. (Depending on the specific services they provide and which codes they use, individual physicians will see larger or smaller changes in their payments, Ms. Kinney emphasizes.) The bottom line is, however, the adjustment for the "misvalued codes" exactly counteracts the 0.5-percent increase coming from MACRA.
"The recent history of and future plans for inadequate fee updates, paired with the growing Medicare administrative burden, is making Medicare participation and compliance increasing difficult and costly for practicing physicians, and will impair access to care for Medicare beneficiaries," John Carlo, MD, of Dallas, chair of TMA's Council on Socioeconomics, wrote in the association's formal comment letter to CMS on the 2017 proposed Medicare Physician Fee Schedule. "Increases in administrative complexity are making Medicare participation an increasingly unattractive proposition to the smaller sized practices common in Texas."
By the way, that 2014 bill — the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014 — wasn't all bad news for physicians, Ms. Kinney says. The most important provision of that bill canceled a 23.7-percent, across-the-board cut in physicians' Medicare payments that had been required due to the SGR.
CDC Recommends Only Two HPV Shots for Younger Adolescents
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends 11- to 12-year-olds receive two doses of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine at least six months apart rather than the previously recommended three doses to protect against cancers caused by HPV infections. Teens and young adults who start the series later, at ages 15 through 26 years, will continue to need three doses, CDC says.
"Safe, effective, and long-lasting protection against HPV cancers with two visits instead of three means more Americans will be protected from cancer," said CDC Director Tom Frieden, MD. "This recommendation will make it simpler for parents to get their children protected in time."
Based on a review of the medical literature, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) voted to recommend a two-dose HPV vaccine schedule for young adolescents. CDC and ACIP reviewed data from clinical trials showing two doses of HPV vaccine in younger adolescents (aged 9 to 14 years) produced an immune response similar to or higher than the response in young adults (aged 16 to 26 years) who received three doses.
Generally, preteens receive HPV vaccine at the same time as whooping cough and meningitis vaccines, according to CDC. Two doses of HPV vaccine given at least six months apart at ages 11 and 12 will provide safe, effective, and long-lasting protection against HPV cancers, CDC says. Adolescents aged 13 to 14 are able to receive HPV vaccination on the new two-dose schedule, as well.
CDC will provide guidance to parents, health professionals, and insurers on the change in recommendation. The Food and Drug Administration last month approved adding a two-dose schedule for 9-valent HPV vaccine (Gardasil 9) for adolescents aged 9 through 14 years. CDC encourages clinicians to begin implementing the two-dose schedule in their practices to protect their preteen patients from HPV cancers.

Great Choice!!!
Oprah should interview Caroline Kennedy to see if she wants to continue supporting Obama as a senator.
I'm glad Palin ignored Oprah after she snubbed Sarah during the election. On the other hand.....Sarah's "natural beauty" may have blinded her and given us a little bit of satisfaction.
All you idiots talking about this ISN'T change. The new senator is NOT Obama's choice so please with the negativity! You're lives must really be miserable.
Anway, Caroline doesn't come to mind when I think of experience for this position but at least she's a level headed person and I respect her.
I agree same old faces, families, and politics.
How about nominating Brian Higgens from Westerm New York. I am a Republican but found him to be honest and hard working.
He actually is accessible to the public and looking out for the residents of Western New York. It's only fair that someone down state be part of the solution for New York. I believe he would do for New York what he has done for Western New York .
The whole state doesn't revolve around NYC.
At first I tended to agree when people mentioned that Caroline has no experience but then I started really thinking about it and maybe that's what we need....someone who isn't bought out by lobbyists or other political players.....someone to think outside of the box and come up with a different strategies. I mean look what the experienced ones have done and where our economy is. Maybe new faces are what we need. Also, let's not forget that her dad didn't have all that much experience per se behind him when he became a very youthful president.
I believe we will see a female president in our lifetime. It's not going to be Palin or Clintion, I predict it'll be Caroline Kennedy.
I can say that Hilary Clinton has done absolutely nothing for upstate New York, Buffalo had the highest gas prices in the country a few months back and she was nowhere to be found. Her "perceived influence" was just that, perceived. I say, anything is better than her in office, she was an ABSENT politician.
The difference between Caroline Kennedy and Sarah Palin...Kennedy has a brain! McCain was sailing high? LOL! He picked Palin and it was all over. The bitter repubs on here are so entertaining! McCain lost. Get over it.
Hillary Clinton did not "get" the senate position because of her name. She was voted in. If that was the case, then she would be our president-elect.
FYI...CHANGE meant no more repubs in the white house. CHANGE meant no more wars for politcal and business gain. CHANGE meant no more favors for the richest Americans. Get it?
Let's stop giving people great jobs based on their last name. There are very many New Yorkers who would fit the bill nicely. Just because Caroline endorsed Obama does not give Obama the right to have a say in New York's politics. Ask Governor Patterson who he wants. He is the guy who will decide.
I'd like to see Robert Kennedy, jr replace Clinton and Chelsea Clinton replace Robert Kennedy, jr in the House. Got to get the next Clinton generation started.
Actually, I'd like to know if Caroline is qualified. Other than being a Kennedy, what does she know about the legislature and implementing good laws?
Great the woman has no experience at all, but that doesn't matter she is a democrat.
Great choice.The Republicans better find a new name plate,they look and sound like an Edsel car to me now.Rove was right,he just got the party wrong.
Her Cousin is more qualified. Caroline stabbed the Clintons in the back by folding to her kids and endorsing Pres Elect Obama very early on.
Bill Clinton was very supportive of her family especially during the time of her brothers death / burial. A Navy or Coast Guard ship was alloacted to bury his ashes at sea and maintain family privicy. I recall President Clinton taking a flack for that kind gesture.
Regardless, Caroline has zero experience as a politician except by family name and exposure. she could never get elected on her merits.
I think that she would be a good choice but the Gov. should select a person of color. The U.S. Senate shouldn't be lilly white in this day and time.
Maybe no obvious or official experience, but Caroline is behind the scenes more than most may realize. She's with Uncle Ted quite often and did a great job in her position with the Obama campaign. I think its time for another Kennedy to dive into the political arena and Caroline has the connections, good judgement, common sense, and "the family business" in her favor. She's an "insider" but she's "outside" the beltway...best of both worlds if you ask me!
Registered Republican that votes like an Independant and I say that Caroling Kennedy is as qualified as the next person and if Ms Kennedy wants the job, she should get in line like anyone else and interview for it. Good luck to her.
Bottom line is, a Kennedy, any Kennedy has to be rewarded for the unyielding support they bestowed on Pres-elect Obama. The question is, what job would be best suited? Does Carolyn Kennedy really possess the qualifications required to be a US Senator? If she does, then let the deed be done.
She did grow up in New York. On the other hand, apparently Hillary grew up everywhere BUT New York.
I thought she was interested in working for Pres-elect Obama in Washington...
Should Ms. Kennedy be interested, she would be qualified for sure.... she meets the requirements as laid out by the rules for being a senator..... just because you may not agree with her positions or ideas doesn't make her un-qualified... just means you don't support her in the role....
I have a suggestion for the NY Senate seat: Cuomo - not Andrew, but Mario! He's be a great choice for the interim period, allowing voters to make an independent selection in two years.
Well why not we have an unqualified Pres. elect.
Karen: You are a sick woman like Sarah Palin.
I think Gov P. should put Condi Rice in that position. NY would lover her! I don't think it's wise to go with another Kennedy especially with Barack so heavily involved with the decision making here. It's best if he stays out of state affairs.

SHILLONG: Clinical tests on dead pigeons in this hill town have shown that the mysterious bird deaths were not due to avian flu. A veterinary department official said that the authorities have given the "all-clear signal" and there is no reason for people to panic.
D Lyngwa, Meghalaya's animal husbandry and veterinary director, said: "The blood samples of the pigeons which were sent for tests at Assam-based Regional Research and Diagnostic Laboratory (RRDL) have come out negative for bird flu".
On Friday, authorities sent blood samples of three dead pigeons after over a hundred birds were found dead at Keating Road in the heart of Shillong. "There is nothing to panic about and people can consume poultry products and chicken in the city without any fear," Lyngwa said.
As the precise reason for the unusual death of the pigeons is not known, further tests will be conducted to find out the real cause. "More tests would take place to confirm the exact cause of deaths of the pigeons and the results are due next week," Lyngwa said. Read More

gainclone sub amp/transformer issue
Ok... brief intro into why i am building this:
I am building a Sonosub (5.35cu.ft) to use in HT. Driver is DPL12, down-firing, 4"Wx20" long port tuned to 16Hz. And, I had an OLD 125WRMS PA amp that I thought was good. The old driver I used it with made a pfft sound when it hit hard, so I thought the driver was messed up. Got my DPL12 today, hooked it up, fired up the amp, PFFT. Umm... NOOOO! So... need amp- Hooked up to B channel on my receiver, put on B only, full range, sounded like CRAP. Hope it was the receiver. So, I have 5 OPA541 chips sitting around waiting for me to build gainclones. (one 2-channel, one 3-channel multimedia) The multimedia set will happen, so, I would like to use 3 for that, but can spare the 2-channel since I don't have any speakers for it anyway, right now. The driver is dual voice coil, so if I build two separate channels of gainclone and run off of one transformer (I only have one) I could do ok power-wise, right? My transformer is firstname.lastname@example.com. Now, I know this translates into about 160W. But, after rectification, it becomes more, something like 50VDC. Does this keep the same current rating and then become almost a 250W power supply? -In need of amplification... Help... Thanks all |

Hi Mate
Just bear in mind that the two coils of the sub are liable to be 4Ohm each, with all the attendant GC type problems...

Ford 'Future of Safety Tour' recruitment thread
(52 Posts)As part of the work we are doing with Ford, they are very keen to invite Mumsnetters and their friends to attend one of their "Future of Safety Tour" sessions this summer arranged exclusively for journalists and Mumsnetters. You'll be able to learn all about car safety from Ford as well as try some of the safety features first-hand
The session will last just over 2 hours - between 11.20am - 1.40pm and will run at the following dates/locations:
19th August in Manchester - Lancashire County Cricket Club - NOW CLOSED
23rd August in Glasgow - Hampden Park - NOW CLOSED
26th August in Cardiff - Cardiff Athletic Stadium - NOW CLOSED
31st August in London - Battersea Power Station - FOR THE RESERVE LIST AS WE NOW HAVE ENOUGH FOLKS
Mumsnetters will be able to attend with a friend or relation - everyone who is invited will receive up to 2 tickets. With regret Ford say no babies or children (for safety reasons). We have 10 pairs of tickets for each location except London where we have 5 pairs.
Obviously for most this will be in the school holidays (except Scotland) so we appreciate this is a tricky one - maybe you are working a half day and still have childcare or maybe you could ask a friend to look after the children for a couple of hours?
Attendance is by invitation only - if you'd like to attend please sign up here and we'll be in touch with full details if you're selected.
Here are some more details of what looks like a very exciting day:
Ford says "Safety is a key area of focus for Ford. The company has an established history of safety development within its entire line-up - past and present, and wants to demonstrate its current safety capabilities and its ongoing development in the future of safety.
To share news of our newest safety innovations, summer 2011 sees Ford take to the roads of Europe with its "Future of Safety Tour". The Tour, starting on 13th June, will take in 31 cities in 11 countries around Europe with exclusive invitations for journalists, and in the UK only, Mumsnetters."
The set-up will consist of up to three parts:
The Exhibition Hub - a purpose built interactive hub featuring videos, displays and aspects that tell the Ford safety story, outlining the development of certain features, the benefits to drivers and the opportunity to speak with Ford experts
The Test Centre - this is an area that will be set up to give the opportunity to try some of the safety features first-hand. Participants will be driven around the course by a professional driver before getting behind the wheel themselves. Features available for hands-on testing will include: Active City Stop, Traffic Sign Recognition and Active Park Assist.
The Road Course - a road course that will give you the chance to experience other safety features such as Lane Keeping Assist, Lane Departure Warning and Blind Spot Information System.
Plan for the session
11.20am: Arrival and registration (20 minutes)
11.40am: Welcome from Ford PR spokesperson to include comprehensive introduction of safety spokesperson to enable people to chat with them during the session prior to the formal presentation at the end of the session (20 minutes)
12noon: Demonstrations (3 x 20 minutes)
Group 1: The Exhibition Hub - presentation on inflatable seatbelts from safety spokesperson; opportunity to explore the interactive hub and learn about Ford's safety technologies
Group 2: The Test Centre - one-on-one demonstrations with professional driver before hands-on driving experience
Group 3: The Road - one-on-one driving experience to showcase technologies such as Lane Keeping Assist and Driver Alert
1pm: Future thinking - presentation on the future of safety, Q&A and interviews (40 minutes)
1:40pm: End of experience
There will be a free hospitality van on site to provide food throughout the event
During the day, Mumsnetters will be filmed by Ford and the video will be used on the Ford Hub, on Mumsnet (coming soon). We'd also very much like you to add feedback and tips learnt from the day to a thread on Mumsnet - everyone who does so will receive a £20 Amazon voucher
If you'd like to attend please sign up here and we'll be in touch if you are selected with full details.
Thanks and good luck
A presentation on inflatable seatbelts is tempting ...
Has the 'parking video' disappeared or is it just me?!
Thanks Ann, thought it was on here...
Will ford with their vast riches pay travel costs ?
KaySirah - sadly not....free food though!
Please note London is now for the reserve list only
Eh? Reserve list?! what's happening then Ann?
I emailed you tonight!
We're still on the look out for MNers to go to these events in Manchester, Glasgow, Cardiff and London - please sign up if you haven't yet!
Is it possible to park within the London one NGHM? it's a lot of travel by public transport for two hours.
Will find out for you and let you know Solo
Thank you
Solo - yes, there is parking
This sounds great but I have no childcare or anyone to go with bugger if it had only been today
Thanks Helen. Is it on the actual site free parking or separate pay for parking? sorry to be a nuisance! but we need to weigh up the choices/costs etc.
Hi - we still have some spaces for Cardiff available this Friday if anyone else can make it?! And possibly for London.
And solo - yes the parking is provided.
That's great Ann thank you.
No spoilers, but DH & I went to the Manchester one last Friday. Jolly good time had by all & v interesting (even to a non-driver like me).
i went to the glasgow one today. the food was sandwiches etc, no greasy burgers. you didnt have to stay the whole two hours, one hour was fine ( but it was very quiet).
there was NO programme like the one outlined below though. just a display area you could wander around and a small demo area. like driving around a school playground. the park assist was weird but interesting. but no talks, demonstrations, road course etc.
worth doing if you live nearby and are free at lunchtime
Oooh...that sounds disappointing
AnnMumsnet MNHQ I've messaged you - couldn't find/remember the 'insight' email address...
A HUGE thank you to Mumsnet and Ford for todays opportunity. My husband and I had an amazing day! We were made to feel very welcome and enjoyed all aspects of the day. Thank you again. Also hi to the Mum who I met today :-)
Hello Annieuk was lovely to meet you too!
Was a very interesting couple of hours. Thank you for letting me go MN. I ended up going on my own as my friend was unwell the night before .
I think that Ford are onto a winner with those new safety features, though when the lady I was in the car with was driving (journalist), somehow when the car was parking itself, it managed to hit the car in front as it steered in which was a bit . The dishy Ford man blamed it on the camera being on the other side of the parked car, being metal. This is a bit of a worry...prams, buggies, lamp posts...all metal! but other that that? fabulous!

text: Custom built irons Johnny M January 28, 2014 By Johnny M I plan to order a set of the AP2 714 irons 4-P 1 degree strong, 1 degree upright. I make the most consistent center face contact with a swing weight of D3. 1. Can Titleist build to this spec using KBS Tour R shafts at standard length with M58 tour velvet grip with 1 addtional wrap.of tape. 2. If tip weights are added to do this will it change the way this shaft cycles and will it change the location of the sweet spot on the club face. 3. Can a D3 sw be obtained with KBS Tour regular built +1/4 over standard with standard lie angle because of the +1/4 inch length 4. With the same specs described above can a D3 swing weight be obtained using Dynamic Gold R300 shafts at standard length. Thanks Quote Reply

The unanswered questions in Surrey Police's handling of the investigation and subsequent murder inquiry of Milly Dowler in 2002, and the force's close contact with journalists from the News of World, is to be investigated by the police's internal watchdog authority, the IPCC.
The Independent Police Complaints Authority was yesterday contacted by the Labour MP Chris Bryant who asked that a "full, new investigation into the conduct of officers involved in the Dowler case and their relationship with members of the press" be carried out.
Although Surrey Police say they are already carrying out their own review into how the Dowler case was handled, Mr Bryant's demand to the interim chair of the IPCC, Len Jackson, will add to the growing pressures on the Surrey force to publish a full account of why they remained silent for almost a decade despite knowing the NOTW had engaged in illegally phone hacking during the early months of the hunt for the missing schoolgirl in March and April 2002.
A partial account was released on Monday by the House of Common's culture media and sport select committee when they released a redacted report on the Dowler case written by the deputy chief constable, Jerry Kirkby.
The report was intended to be the formal response by Surrey to questions that had been raised by John Whittingdale, chair of the CMS select committee.
With widespread criticism that the police's account was limited and did not answer key allegations related to its relationship with the News International title, Mr Bryant told Mr Jackson in his letter to the IPCC, that the focus of the report was "mainly" on the period between April 13 and 14, 2002.
However he said the report's contents "does not address relationships between officers investigating Milly Dowler's disappearance and News of the World reporters, nor does it reveal the interactions (legitimate or otherwise) between Surrey Police officers and the News of the World in the twenty-two days from Milly Dowler's disappearance to 13 April 2002."
This period remains crucial to unanswered questions about who may have deleted messages on the teenager's phone, about the scale of the NOTW news operation that was generated when the police search began, and about the early contact NOTW reporters made with key detectives in the early stages of Milly Dowler's disappearance.
The IPCC told The Independent last night that it too had contacted Surrey Police. An IPCC spokeswoman said they remaining "proactive" on potential complaints about the force's handling of the case, and were awaiting an "update" from Surrey how the force would respond.

Death Angel Rides; So Long Kleidon's
New Year's Eve rings in reunion for thrash-metal legends; another club bites the dust
By Sarah Quelland
AFTER A SPECIAL REUNION in 2001 for the Thrash of the Titans benefit for Testament's Chuck Billy, a handful of "secret" reunion gigs and a spot on the 2002 Dynamo Open Air Festival in Holland, the Bay Area's legendary thrash-metal outfit Death Angel is officially resurrected. More than 10 years after disbanding, the group is celebrating its rebirth with a New Year's Eve bash at the Pound with Old Grandad, Mad at Sam and Alter Ego. This comes as great news for longtime fans. With vocalist Mark Osegueda, lead guitarist Rob Cavestany, drummer Andy Galeon and bassist Dennis Pepa returning, Death Angel's original lineup is missing only rhythm guitarist Gus Pepa (Ted Aguilar, most recently of S1FT, is filling that position).
The members of Death Angel were teenagers when they took the world by storm in the '80s with their Kill as One demo (produced by Metallica's Kirk Hammett) and subsequent albums The Ultra-Violence, Frolic Through the Park, Act III and Fall From Grace. Now in their 30s--as anyone who's seen Osegueda, Cavestany and Galeon in Swarm (which is on indefinite hiatus) can attest--these guys are in their prime. Today's Death Angel is bringing new perspective to songs from its old catalog. With the experience and wisdom that comes with age, guitarist Cavestany says, "I think we play much more soulfully [now]. We always used to put our heart and soul into it, but it was driven by a different type of energy. I think our songs are tighter and heavier in a different way [in] how we play it now."
They're preparing to write new material that remains true to the original Death Angel sound. "I think there's a couple ways that it will for sure," Cavestany muses. "It's the same musicians that will be writing and performing the stuff. Our styles individually and collectively--the chemistry that we make playing together--will sound like us, 'cause it's us playing." He adds, "We're gonna write really heavy on purpose. That's what people are looking for, and we've got plenty of that in us."
Already, Death Angel is planning to perform in Chile in January and is confirmed for the No Mercy tour of Europe (with Testament and others) in April. No one's more surprised than Cavestany. "This is nothing short of a miracle to us," he says. "It was really never our intention to do any of this. It's kinda freakin' me out, to be honest. We're looking at that, and the new year hasn't even started yet."

ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST: When the Cactus Club shut its doors in June, Kleidon's Lounge jumped at the chance to become the venue of choice for all the local bands and music fans displaced by its closure. Kleidon's weekly Rockstars and Bitches night saw the best local musicians rock its stage every Monday. That's all over now. On Dec. 17, Kleidon's shut its doors. Bill Kleidon was unreachable for comment at deadline, but Johnny Van Wyk, who oversaw daily operations, says he expects the bar will sit vacant indefinitely. Van Wyk is moving forward with plans to open two new clubs in downtown San Jose. He says Sideways (the name is now tentative) is still a go. The building is being retrofitted, and Van Wyk hopes to open by summer 2003. His latest acquisition, Johnny V's (31 E. Santa Clara St.), may open as soon as Jan. 31. Johnny V's has a pub downstairs and a nightclub upstairs. No bands will be able to play there until he gets a new sprinkler system put in, which he says will take four to five months. In the meantime, he plans to host DJ nights. In other good news, Rockstars and Bitches has relocated to Plant 51. Monday (Dec. 30), Something Must Die, Beneath the Surface, Taunted and Borderwars perform.
BYE-BYE BURBANK: Stikmon has announced that he will not be able to establish the Burbank International Youth Center for the Performing Arts after all. He says bureaucrats dragged their feet so long in making a decision that building owner Denton Coetzee decided to rent the building to a television station. Though discouraged, Stik says, "I'm not giving up. I'm gonna find another spot."

#8603 closed defect (bug) (wontfix)
post_parent default in get_children
Reported by: | jdub | Owned by: | |
Milestone: | Priority: | normal | |
Severity: | normal | Version: | 2.7 |
Component: | General | Keywords: | has-patch dev-feedback |
Focuses: | Cc: |
Much like #8348, the default behaviour of get_children has changed as a result of #8085 being fixed. The default value of 0 should be removed from this function.
I found this bug as it broke Viper007Bond's excellent regenerate-thumbnails plugin. :-)
(By the way, this appears to be the last bug of its kind in the 2.7 tree.)

Replying to Viper007Bond:

What about
get_posts(array('post_type' => 'attachment', 'showposts' => -1))
8 years ago
I ended up using this:
$attachments =& get_children( array( 'post_type' => 'attachment', 'post_mime_type' => 'image', 'numberposts' => -1, 'post_status' => null, 'post_parent' => null, // any parent 'output' => 'object', ) );
I think we should default to null rather than 0 to maintain backward compatibility.
8 years ago
In my opinion, the problem with an empty parent argument for get_children is that it's semantically ambiguous: is it requesting everything that is a child, all orphaned children, or all top-level objects?
Besides, since its inception in 2.0 get_children has returned false if no arguments are specified and it's not within the Loop. The behavior you describe has worked only inconsistently (other parameters must be specified) and only since 2.1.
8 years ago
It worked very reliably for me pre-2.7. Leaving the post_parent parameter blank resulted in essentially a wildcard. What would be the harm in keeping it as it was? Yes, best to specify (as I have now done), but no sense in changing it just for the sake of changing it IMO.

I think this should be "won't fix."
If you want all attachments, there's a clearer, more direct way of getting them.
If you're trying address problems for plugins that were relying on pre-2.7 behavior of get_children to get all attachments, those plugins have already had to make changes for 2.7.x. So it's too late to help them. Not to mention that the behavior they relied on worked only when just the right arguments were supplied (in other words, even back then having an empty post parent didn't produce all attachments for every possible set of arguments; that's what I mean by "inconsistent").
And there's the semantic stuff I mentioned above: "children" or "child" everywhere else in WP implies a hierarchical relationship that doesn't exist in the "get all attachments" scenario. If null really acted as a wildcard, that would be one thing, but it behaves only somewhat like a wildcard and only in certain situations. The harm in reverting to the previous behavior is that it eliminates a default and introduces inconsistent behavior to get_children.

Sal is usually at the restaurant and makes sure the food is great. We have eaten here many times and have never been disappointed.
The family and I decided we were hungry and we were willing to settle for whatever was open on a Sunday evening. At first glance, this place doesn't appear to be anything special. We decided to give this place a try and went inside. The interior looked average, and seating was mostly fast food style booths. We seated ourselves and... More
We eat here all the time Sal's a great guy and you always get great food. It's not just pizza it's a restaurant too!
I have only had the pizza here and I love it! My favorite is the stuffed buffalo chicken pizza! Great pizza!
Stopped in Sals after a long day of touring b&b's on the Belsnickle House tour. Only had a plain pizza, but it was wonderful !!
Very good food for the money and the people are great. All the usual foods and all done above average.
We were looking for somewhere close to where we were staying in New Holland to eat a light dinner and found Sal's. I got the taco salad and it was not at all what I thought it would be. Guess that was my mistake for getting Mexican at an Italian restaurant. They should really take it off the menu.
Simply were not impressed. There's nothing here you can't do better at home, much better. Were in the area and looking for a pizza place with a decent seating area. That part was OK (but just OK) but the pizza was just not good. Got a pepperoni and bacon pizza. The pepperoni although good tasting with the perfect spice was... More
We dine out many times (usually because we are too tired to cook), and Sal's has been a very good alternative to eating at home.

Conventional curing processes for producing thermoset composites use a thermal approach, which suffers from numerous disadvantages, including a long curing cycle time. This paper reports on an alternative curing process of an unsaturated polyester/aramid composite using microwave energy. The differences in curing characteristic of the composites fabricated between microwave and conventional ovens method were compared. Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) analysis showed that microwave curing of composite was much faster than thermal curing while Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis was found to be very much significant in comparing the conversion of polyester C=C and styrene C=C undergoing microwave and thermal curing.

Asian Tribune is published by World Institute For Asian Studies|Powered by WIAS Vol. 12 No. 1799
Death Threat to Editor , "Asian Tribune" by Karuna and his crony Iniyabarathi
By Walter Jayawardhana
Asian Tribune Editor has received death threat from V.Muralitharan alias l Karuna Amman through his alleged crony I. Iniyabarathi yesterday morning.
Iniyabarathi, the man involved in the fratricidal killings telephoned K.T.Rajasingham, Editor Asian Tribune and threatened to kill the Editor. In his abusive harangue he revealed that his leader Colonel Karuna will not tolerate at cost , any "Yarlapani "(Man from Jaffna) - a regional slur -- reporting anything adversely either about him or about his cadres.
Iniyabarathi in an arrogant tone conveyed the message of Karuna that the Editor Asian Tribune should stop publishing adverse reports about Karuna and Tamil Makkal Viduthalai Pulikal. He threateningly added "Karuna will not tolerate any adverse comments and he will see that you are removed from the face of this earth."
Iniyabarathi said "Karuna Amman our leader wanted you to stop this adverse campaign forthwith or be ready to meet your death."
"Asian Tribune", since 04 May, after the split within the rank and files of TMVP, between Karuna and Pillaiyan, reported the killing of Sinthujan and also his old age father Johnson and few others.
"Asian Tribune" vehemently condemned the fratricidal killings let loose by Karuna within the outfit and also exposed that there are more than 190 underage children forcibly recruited by Thileepan and Jeeventiran.
"Asian Tribune" has opposed recruitment of underage children forcefully by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam as well as by the TMVP led by Karuna.
Karuna personally gave an undertaking to Asian Tribune that he will visit all his bases and chase away if there are any underage children in their camps.
Unfortunately Karuna failed to live up to his words and encouraged and tolerated Thileepan and Jeeventiran recruiting underage children even after this issue was taken up in the UN Security Council.
Asian Tribune reliably learnt that Karuna has two days ago given special permission to Inniyabarathi , commander of TMVPs's Amparai district to 'recruit more cadres' in the Amparai district.
Recruiting more cadres is an indirect terminology which amounts to giving permission to Iniyabarathi to forcefully recruit underage children.
Karuna, a former renegade leader of the LTTE following the footsteps of his former leader Velupillai Prabakran is the newest Warlord in the East trying to have his way by threat and intimidation of the media personnel.
Even earlier Kruna telephoned and threatened Champika Liyanaraachchi, editor of Daily Mirror and he called the Editor and apologized and assured that he as well as his cadres will not harm her.
Subsequently, "Asian Tribune" learnt Inniyabarathi called 'Daily Mirror' editorial staff and warned that he will send killer squad to kill the person who reports adverse news items about his leader Karuna, and TMVP. According to information Iniyabarathi threatened the Daily Mirror staff in a conference call with an interpreter who translated his death threat in the English language.

I actually started the lesson with an incomplete sentence: "Being Creative means...." and listened to some very wonderful ideas. I have to interject that this particular fifth grade class was fortunate to have periodic art instruction (by me) all through Kindergarten, first, and second grade. I was really tickled and blown away by their responses (see the charted responses below). Best of all, some of their ideas were a perfect segue into the Zentangles Hearts lesson.
To introduce the lesson I just put up a sheet of paper and started drawing, saying nothing. I worked very slow and meticulously, never taking my eyes off the paper, for about three to five minutes. Then I turned to the kids and asked, "What was I doing?" and again, they had great responses: Focusing on my work. Working slowly. Making one long line. Concentrating.
It was time to hand out paper and let them begin. Suddenly, you could hear a pin drop. There was no sound at all for the longest time.
When the first person had filled the entire page, I stopped everyone and introduced the heart part. First I had them free draw many hearts on a blank piece of paper, all sizes. Then I gave directions for drawing and cutting a heart out of tagboard, tracing it on their design, and coloring it in using warm or cool colors. I put out everything they needed, and just watched them work.
This was a wonderfully relaxing day! The entire lesson/activity took just under two hours, and everybody did a great job!

I miss my Blog!
I used to post every couple of days. Writing about random things that happened to me during my week, but since I decided to post about all the MUST SEE places in Maui, I find myself needing more time than usual to post the best pictures out of over 300+ that I took AND find the mile markers to coincide with them. No easy task! Especially since my next post is my FAVORITE spots.
Then there's my book to finish typing, pictures to download, Bible study, weekly Prayer requests/story's to get out, football games, team dinners...etc., etc.
The problem is I enjoy them all and in the moment...I can do them all. But time is stingy and seems to get in the way of all I need to do...I need more of it!
My hubby tells me I always put too much on my plate, over-committing myself. He's probably right, but I get excited about things...in the moment...feeling like I can accomplish everything I've said, "YES!" to.
So something has to give...and it appears, to be my Blog lately.

Do I correctly recall the bridge entrance on the JJprise bridge (in the TOS entrance spot) was not just a turbolift, but also a short passageway to A CORRIDOR OUTSIDE THE BRIDGE?
I believe what you remember is the Kelvin bridge. And the small corridor where Papa Kirk & Robau have a short conversation before Robau enters the lift.
Actually I believe the scene involved Chekhov running from the bridge to the transporter room. Possibly once or twice more as well.
The TOS side door is a turbolift, the other side leads to the corridors and the rest of the deck. This Enterprise is a lot bigger than the old one (725m long up from 289), the bridge is the room at the front, not filling the entire top dome as it once did.
I thought both sides were turbolifts AND entrances to the corridors. They worked like a two door or double sided elevator...maybe not but for some reason I got that sense about it. I thought it was a cool way of doing it with the bridge being different with more to the dome. But if that's not the case oh well.
If we were looking through the viewscreen inside the bridge, to the right would be a turbolift and to the left would be a double door "airlock" into another section of Deck 1 (or A Deck if you want).
The port-side door (next to the dedication plaque) is the turbolift: Spock exits the lift there when we first see him walk onto the bridge: When Kirk, McCoy and Uhura race through the ship to warn Pike that there's more than a seismic emergency, they are seen entering the bridge directly from the corridor via the other (starboard-side) door: When Chekov goes "I can do that"-ing to the transporter room, he exits via the same door.
