How do I make an appointment with one of the Consultants?
If you wish to make an appointment a referral letter is required from your GP/Chartered physiotherapist. This can be sent to Mayo Medical Centre either by fax, email or post. Once the referral letter has been received an appointment letter will be sent out directly to the patient.
Uninsured and international patients are welcome at our clinic. Self pay surgery can be quite affordable. Please email our clinic at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information and pricing.
What should I bring to my appointment?
Please ensure you bring the following with you on the day of your appointment
Prescription/list of medications
List of questions
All relevant recent (preferably within the last 6 months) X-ray/MRI scans on a disc.
Insurance details including the plan and policy number.
How much will my appointment cost?
A first consultation is charged at €150 and review consultations are €100.
Why Should I see a specialist hip and knee replacement surgeon rather than a general Orthopaedic surgeon?
Most primary first time hip and knee replacements can be done by a general Orthopaedic surgeon. However, a specialist arthroplasty (joint replacement) surgeon will have specific training in preventing and treating complications of hip and knee replacement surgery. At Mayo Medical Centre we believe that all of our surgeons should specialise in a specific area as this has been scientifically proven to reduce complications, enhance the quality of the surgical work and facilitate a more rapid recovery by the patient.
Mr. Bennett talks about the treatment of arthritis
Mr. Bennett talks about joint replacement surgery
Mr. Bennett talks about the Rapid Recovery Programme
Mr. Bennett speaks about pain following joint replacement surgery
Mr. Bennett speaks about driving following joint replacement surgery
When can I drive after surgery?
Normally your insurance policy will cover you to drive 6 weeks after a joint replacement operation. However it is important to check that you have sufficient control over your right foot so you can use the brake pedal in an emergency
Mr. Bennett talks about restrictions in activities following joint replacement surgery
Mr. Bennett talks about returning to work following joint replacement surgery
When can I return to work after surgery?
It depends on the type of work you do. If you do mainly office based work you should be able to return to work in a few weeks. However if you do mainly manual physical work we recommend that you don't return to work for at least 12 weeks after your operation. If you are unsure please check with your Consultant.
Mr. Bennett talks about getting on your feet after joint replacement surgery
Mr. Bennett talks about the use of crutches following joint replacement surgery
How long will I need crutches after the surgery?
You will be taught how to use the crutches before your surgery. We ask you to keep the crutches for approximately six weeks after surgery to allow your muscles to heal around the joint although the joint itself will take your full body weight from the first day of surgery.
Mr. Bennett speaks about walking after joint replacement surgery
How long will I be in hospital?
How long you will remain in hospital depends on the procedure you are having and whether there are any complications. Generally hospital stay is five days for a hip or knee replacement.
When will I see my Consultant again after surgery?
Follow up appointments with our Consultants are usually at six weeks post op, six months post op, 2 years post op, five years post op and then every five years after that.
Why do I need to see my Consultant at six months post op?
Mr. Bennett recommends a six month review as do the British Orthopaedic Society. One's hip can develop a problem without symptoms so it is important to get an x ray at six months to confirm all is well.
How many physio sessions will I need after my surgery?
We normally recommend a patient to have 6 physio sessions. The first session preferably before surgery, the second session 2 weeks post op and then at weekly intervals afterwards (i.e. week 2,3,4,5 and the final session on week 8). However this can vary from person to person.
What type of anaesthetic will I receive?
You will almost always receive an epidural type anaesthetic into the back. This will leave you feeling numb from the waist down. The benefits of this mean you will have less pain after surgery, you are less likely to get a clot and less likely to get an infection after surgery.
What is the procedure code for my surgery?

Stephen Strasburg made all the necessary adjustments.
The right-hander threw six effective innings, Matt Wieters hit a solo homer and the Washington Nationals beat the Philadelphia Phillies 5-3 Monday night.
Strasburg (7-7) gave up two runs and five hits, striking out five to rebound from a rough start against Philadelphia last week in his return from the disabled list.
"So many little things hitters try to pick, so you always have to look at the tendencies," Strasburg said. "It was progress."

Washington. "Fast moving primary target," they said, indicating that a
plane without a transponder was heading their way.
At the time, the plane was about twelve to fourteen miles southwest of
Dulles and moving at lightning speed. Tom Howell, the controller next to
O'Brien, glanced over at her screen and his eyes grew wide. "Oh my God!"
he yelled. "It looks like he's headed to the White House! We've got a target
headed right for the White Housel" At full throttle, American Airlines
Flight 77 was traveling at about 500 miles per hour directly toward P-56,
the prohibited air space surrounding the White House and the Capitol.
Because of its speed and the way it maneuvered and turned, everyone in
the radar room of Dulles Airport's tower assumed it was a military jet.
Among the passengers on Flight 77 were the hijackers from the
Valencia Motel and Barbara Olson. Originally, Barbara Olson had
planned to fly to Los Angeles on Monday, September 10. But because her
husband's birthday was on the 11th, she decided to leave the next
morning so she could spend a little time with him on that day. After
saying good-bye early in the morning, she called him at the Justice
Department about 7:40, just before boarding her plane.
About an hour and a half later, Olson heard about the hijackings and
quickly turned on his office television, worried that one of the planes
might be Barbara's. But after a brief mental calculation, he figured her
plane could not have gotten to New York that quickly.
Suddenly a secretary rushed in. "Barbara is on the phone," she said.
Olson jumped for the receiver. "Our plane has been hijacked!" she said
quickly, but then the phone went dead. Olson immediately called the
command center at Justice and alerted them that there was yet another
hijacked plane—and that his wife was on it. He also said she was able to
communicate, even though her first call had been cut off.
Minutes later Barbara called back. Speaking very quietly, she said the
hijackers did not know she was making this call. All the passengers, she
said, had been herded to the back by men who had used knives and box
cutters to hijack the plane. The pilot had announced that the plane had
been hijacked shortly after takeoff.
Ted Olson then told her about the two other planes that had flown
into the World Trade Center. "I think she must have been partially in
shock from the fact that she was on a hijacked plane," Olson recalled.
"She absorbed the information."
"What shall I tell the pilot? What can I tell the pilot to do?" Barbara
said, trying to remain calm. Olson asked if she could tell where the plane
was. She said she could see houses and, after asking someone, said she
thought the plane was heading northeast.
They then reassured each other that at least the plane was still up in
the air, still flying. "It's going to come out okay," Olson told his wife, who
agreed. But Ted Olson knew the situation was anything but all right. "I
was pretty sure everything was not going to be okay," he recalled. "I, by
this time, had made the calculation that these were suicidal persons,
bent on destroying as much of America as they could." "I love you,"
Barbara said as they expressed their feelings for each other. Then the
phone suddenly went dead again. While waiting for her to call back,
Olson remained glued to the television. It was now about 9:30.
At that same moment, NORAD's three F-16s, each loaded with six
missiles, were wheels up from Langley Air Force Base. It was the closest
alert base to Washington, only 130 miles away. The pilots' job was
somehow to find Flight 77 before it found its target and possibly shoot it
down. But that would require the authorization of the president.
At 9:30, nearly half an hour after being told that the country was
under attack, President Bush was still at the Emma E. Booker
Elementary School, far from the madness in New York. Having finished
his photo op with the second graders and been given a quick update on
the state of the crisis, he strolled into the school's library. He had
originally planned to give a speech promoting his education policies.
Instead, still seemingly unaware of the magnitude of what was taking
place, he told the children and teachers that he would have to leave. "I,
unfortunately, will be going back to Washington," he said, because the
country had suffered "an apparent terrorist attack."
With one brief exception, that was the last anyone would see of either
the president or vice president until long after the crisis ended. Air Force
One was not going to Washington. The commander in chief was headed
for the safety of a bunker deep under Nebraska. At first, an
administration spokesman said flying to Omaha was a result of a threat
against Air Force One called into the White House. But later the
administration was forced to admit that such an event never took place.
Within the tower at Dulles Airport, the tension was almost visible. The
supervisor in the radar room began a countdown as the unknown plane
got closer and closer to the White House. "He's twelve miles west," he
said. "He's moving very fast eastbound. Okay, guys, where is he now? .. .
Eleven miles west, ten miles west, nine miles west." About that point, the
supervisor picked up the phone to the Secret Service office at the White
House. "We have an unidentified, very fast-moving aircraft inbound
toward your vicinity," he said. "Eight miles west. Seven miles west."
At the White House, Secret Service officers quickly rushed into Vice
President Dick Cheney's office. "We have to move," said one agent. "We're
moving now, sir; we're moving." Once out, they hustled him down to the
Presidential Emergency Operations Center, a special bombproof bunker
under the East Wing of the building. The rest of the White House staff
were told to get out and away from the building as quickly as possible.
"All the way to H Street, please," one uniformed Secret Service officer
"Six miles," said the supervisor. "Five miles, four miles." He was just
about to say three miles when the plane suddenly turned away. "In the
room, it was almost a sense of relief," recalled traffic controller Danielle
O'Brien. "This must be a fighter. This must be one of our guys sent in,
scrambled to patrol our capital and to protect our president, and we sat
back in our chairs and breathed for just a second. In the meantime, all
the rest of the planes are still flying and we're taking care of everything
But then the plane suddenly turned back, completing a 360-degree
loop. "He's turning back in!" O'Brien yelled. "He's turning back east-
bound!" O'Brien's fellow traffic controller, Tom Howell began to yell to the
supervisor. "Oh my God, John, he's coming back!"
"We lost radar contact with that aircraft," recalled O'Brien. "And we
waited. And we waited. And your heart is just beating out of your chest,
waiting to hear what's happened."
At that same moment, Catholic priest Father Stephen McGraw was in
traffic so heavy it was almost at a standstill. He was on his way to a
graveside service at Arlington National Cemetery but had mistakenly
taken the Pentagon exit onto Washington Boulevard. Suddenly McGraw
felt the teeth-rattling roar of a large aircraft only about twenty feet above.
He looked out just as the plane clipped an overhead sign and then
toppled a lamppost, injuring a taxi driver a few feet away. "It looked like a
plane coming in for a landing," he said. "I mean, in the sense that it was
controlled and sort of straight." A second later, at 9:37, American Airlines
Flight 77 smashed into the gray concrete wall of the Pentagon, hitting
with such force that it penetrated four of the five concentric rings of
corridors and offices surrounding the center court, long nicknamed
Ground Zero.
"I saw it crash into the building," said McGraw. "There was an
explosion and a loud noise, and I felt the impact. I remember seeing a
fireball come out of two windows [of the Pentagon]. I saw an explosion of
fire billowing through those two windows. I remember hearing a gasp or
scream from one of the other cars near me. Almost a collective gasp it
Nearby in another car was Aydan Kizildrgli, a student from Turkey
who was just learning English. "Did you see that?" he shouted to the
next car. Traffic along the highway came immediately to a halt as people
jumped out of their cars and began putting their cell phones to their
ears. Stunned and dazed, Kizildrgli left his car on the road and began
walking aimlessly for half an hour.
Minutes later, in the Dulles Airport tower, the words of an air traffic
controller at Reagan National Airport came over the loudspeaker. "Dulles,
hold all of our inbound traffic," said the voice. "The Pentagon's been hit."
"I remember some folks gasping," recalled O'Brien. "I think I remember a
couple of expletives." "It's just like a big pit in your stomach because you
weren't able to do anything about it to stop it," said Tom Howell. "That's
what I think hurt the most."
Twelve minutes after the crash, the three Air National Guard F-16s
from Langley finally arrived. Too late to save the Pentagon, they were
ordered to patrol the airspace over the White House. "A person came on
the radio," said National Guard Major General Mike J. Haugen, "and
identified himself as being with the Secret Service, and he said, 'I want
you to protect the White House at all costs.' "
At the Justice Department, Ted Olson heard on television that an
explosion had taken place at the Pentagon. Although no one identified
the aircraft involved, he knew it was Flight 77 carrying his wife. "I did
and I didn't want to," he recalled, "but I knew." Late that night, when he
finally got to bed around 1 A.M., Olson found a note under his pillow
that Barbara had left for his birthday. "I love you," she had written.
"When you read this, I will be thinking of you and will be back on

As rescue workers began racing to the Pentagon, it was quickly
becoming clear to air traffic controllers in Cleveland that yet another
passenger jet—a fourth—was in the process of being hijacked. This time
it was United Flight 93, which had taken off at 8:42 that morning from
Newark International Airport en route to San Francisco. Shortly after
nine, following the attacks on the World Trade Center, pilot Jason Dahl
had heard a brief ping on his company computer. It was an electronic
alert notifying him of a message from United's operations center near
Chicago. In green letters on a black background came a warning to be
careful of someone trying to break into the flight deck. Beware, cockpit
intrusion, it said. Confirmed, typed one of the pilots, acknowledging the
At about 9:28, as the plane was flying near downtown Cleveland,
Captain Dahl radioed Cleveland Control a cheerful greeting. "Good
morning, Cleveland. United ninety-three with you at three-five-zero
[35,000 feet]. Intermittent light chop."
But back in the main cabin there was pandemonium. Three men who
had tied red bandannas around their heads were taking over and herding
the passengers to the back of the plane, near the galley. One of those
passengers, Tom Burnett, managed to pick up a phone without being
noticed. He quickly called his wife, Deena, in San Ramon, California,
where she was preparing breakfast for the couple's three young
daughters. "We're being hijacked!" he said. "They've knifed a guy, and
there's a bomb on board! Call the authorities, Deena!"
Seconds later, the Cleveland controller heard the frightening sound of
screaming in the cockpit. "Somebody call Cleveland?" he asked. There
was no answer, just the muffled sounds of a struggle, followed by silence
for about forty seconds. Then the Cleveland controller heard more
struggling followed by someone frantically shouting, "Get out of here! Get
out of here!" Finally, the microphone once again went dead.
Unsure of what he had actually heard, the controller called another
nearby United flight to see if they might have picked up the broadcast.
"United fifteen twenty-three," he said, "did you hear your company, did
you hear some interference on the frequency here a couple of minutes
ago—screaming?" "Yes, I did," said a crew member of the United flight.
"And we couldn't tell what it was either." The pilot of a small executive jet
had also heard the commotion. "We did hear that yelling, too," he told the
Cleveland controller.
"Any airline pilot with any experience, and I've had quite a bit," said
veteran commercial pilot John Nance, "who sits up there strapped into a
seat knows what happened here: two of my brethren being slashed to
death. In the cockpit, I think what happened is the pilots had been
subdued. I think their necks had been slashed. And they're strapped in,
they've got no way of defending themselves. You can't turn around and
fight. They're just sitting ducks."
Suddenly the microphone aboard United Flight 93 came to life again,
but this time with a foreign-sounding voice. "Ladies and gentlemen, here
it's the captain. Please sit down. Keep remaining sitting. We have a bomb
aboard." Startled, the Cleveland controller called back. "Say again
slowly," he said. But silence returned to Flight 93.
In New York, the twin towers had become twin infernos. Nearly ten
million square feet of vertical space was converted into burning torches.
Completed in 1974, the nearly 1,300-foot towers had become modern-
day temples of wealth and commerce. Unencumbered by interior
columns or load-bearing walls, they were tubes of metal and glass
containing 200,000 tons of steel, 425,000 cubic yards of concrete, and
600,000 square feet of glass in 43,000 windows. The wide, file cabinet
and desk-clogged floors on which the pools of jet fuel were burning were
designed to hold tremendous weights. Made of reinforced concrete pads
on metal decks supported by cross beams, each floor covered about an
acre and weighed nearly 4.8 million pounds. Much of this weight was
transferred to a series of exterior columns by a complex network of
beams and slabs connecting to and spanning the distance between the
But it was also made of flesh. Like an upright city, the towers housed
55,000 workers. On a typical day the buildings had about 90,000
visitors. The complex had its own subway station, and in place of taxis,
nearly a hundred elevators whisked people from the seven-story entrance
to the 107 floors of offices. Some people there made millions and had
endless, heart-thumping views, while others hustled, toiled, and scraped
by, never seeing much more than blank walls.
As in life, economic stratification is also often present in death. Those
in the higher, more expensive offices stood less of a chance of surviving.
With a stairwell in all four corners, the towers were designed to be
evacuated in an hour. Although theoretically designed to sustain a hit
from a Boeing 707, it is clear that the architects never anticipated that
the towers would survive an attack by fuel-laden, wide-body jets. Those
in the area of the direct hits and above were trapped, prevented from
going down by the damage to the stairwells caused by the exploding
fuselage and the fuel-filled wings. They could only go up, but that was
where the searing heat and smoke were accumulating. Below the impact
zone, the fuel not expended in the original explosion poured down on
lower floors like flaming waterfalls.
The World Trade Center had become a place were life or death would
be decided not by the laws of man but by the laws of physics, where

The holidays are fast approaching. PC hardware makers have spent the past little while getting their ducks in a row for the season, and today, the ducks look to be pretty well lined up and ready to pluck.
Or something.
Seriously, though. We've got Nvidia's new GeForce GTX 970 and 980 graphics cards, which have redefined performance, power efficiency, and value at the high end. We've got AMD's recent price cuts, thanks to which the Radeon R9 290 is now listed below $300 and A10-series APUs are (or should be) available under $150. And then there are the goodies that came out in the late summer, including Haswell-E processors, X99 motherboards, DDR4 memory, and the Radeon R9 285.
With the exception of the GeForce GTX 970, which is still in short supply, all of that hardware is available and ready to go now. In other words, you could build your Christmas gaming PC today and probably not miss out on much—you know, unless Intel somehow launches a quantum processor within the next eight weeks.
This latest edition of the TR System Guide should give you just about all the tools to build a holiday PC early. We've even added an AMD-based sample build, since those new A-series price cuts make AMD's desktop APUs compelling for the first time in a long while. Pretty crazy stuff, I know.
Let's begin, shall we?
The rules and regulations
A short disclaimer: this is a component selection guide, not a PC assembly guide or a performance comparison. If you need help with the business of putting components together, look at our handy how-to build a PC article—and the accompanying video:
For reviews and benchmarks, we suggest heading to our front page and starting from there.
On the next several pages, we'll discuss the main categories of components needed to build a PC: processors, motherboards, memory, graphics cards, storage, cases, and power supplies. We'll then recommend a handful of carefully selected parts split into three tiers: budget, sweet spot, and high end.
For the budget tier, we won't seek out the absolute cheapest parts around. Instead, we'll single out capable, high-quality parts that also happen to be affordable. The sweet-spot tier is self-explanatory; it's where you'll find the products that deliver the most bang for your buck. Finally, our high-end tier is a mirror image of the budget tier. There, we'll seek out the fastest and most feature-packed components, but without venturing into excessive price premiums that aren't worth paying.
Each recommendation will involve a mental juggling of sorts for us. We'll consider variables like benchmark data, our personal experiences, current availability and retail pricing, user reviews, warranty coverage, and the size and reputation of the manufacturer or vendor. In most cases, we'll favor components we know first-hand to be better than the alternatives.
Finally, each recommended component will have a "notable needs" box. In that box, we'll point out any special requirements one should consider when building a full system with that part. For instance, we'll address socket type and form factor compatibility between different processors, motherboards, and cases.
Now that we've addressed the how, let's talk about the where. See that "powered by Newegg.com" logo at the top of the page? Newegg sponsors our System Guides, and more often than not, it will serve as our source for component prices. However, Newegg has no input on our editorial content nor sway over our component selections. If we want to recommend something it doesn't carry, we'll do just that.
We think sourcing prices from a huge online retailer gives us more realistic figures, though—so much so that we quoted Newegg prices long before this guide got a sponsor. Dedicated price search engines can find better deals, but they often pull up unrealistically low prices from small and potentially unreliable e-tailers. If you're going to spend several hundred (or thousand) dollars on a PC, we think you'll be more comfortable doing so at a large e-tailer with a proven track record and a decent return policy.

Transcode/Import Canon XF100 MXF into Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 on Mac
Canon XF100 supports the highest HD quality mxf with Full HD 1920×1080 resolution, up to 50Mbps bit rate and 4:2:2 color sampling.For added versatility, I'm using a Canon XF100 and Premiere Pro CS5 on a Mac Pro. I would like to know the best workflow so I can get footage from the camera, into Premiere so I can start editing.
My attempts so far:
1. Importing the MXF file directly into Premiere
Result: When dropping the clip onto the timeline, only the audio appears.
2. Using XCam Transfer to import the footage and convert to .mov
Result: The audio and video appear on the time line, but the audio is shorter than the video and skips and jumps.
The above is quoted from a client's e-mail, asking how to import Canon XF100 MXF files into Premiere Pro CS5 on Mac. To do this, a converter is needed, and MXF Converter for Mac is the best one. MXF Converter for Mac is a necessary camcorder converter and a helpful video tool on Mac that helps you convert MXF to other common video formats on Mac such as MOV, MP4, AVI, MKV, WMV, MPG, MPEG, FLV, 3GP, VOB, DV, DVD, MP3, AC3, OGG, FLAC, M4A, etc. With it, you can freely transfer MXF to H.264 mov for Premiere Pro. Here are some quick steps telling you how to use the MXF converter.
Step 1: Add MXF videos to MXF Converter for Mac after install and launch.
Step 2: Choose the output format for the videos from the drop down list. Click "setting" for some personal preference and click "output" to choose the route for the transferred videos.
Step 3: Convert MXF to H.264 mov for Premiere Pro. Wait a moment, and then you will get the videos applicable for Premiere Pro CS5.With several simple steps, you can easily edit MXF footage in Premiere or other editing tools without any problem.

'Golden Retriever Egg Challenge' Is Going Viral and It's So Sweet!
In a video posted on Twitter a few days ago from user @laurdeyfuss, someone tries the "egg challenge," to test whether golden retrievers are actually as gentle as some say they are.
During the video, the owner of an adorable golden took an egg and placed it into the dog's mouth. The goal is to find out if the dog's bite will be light enough to not break the egg. And just as they hoped, it worked! The dog gently closed its mouth on the egg, avoiding cracking it. The next test was getting the egg out of the dog's mouth and it wouldn't let go! The dog eventually put the egg down without it breaking.
The video has racked up nearly 225,000 retweets and more than 675,000 likes. And other people are trying the challenge with their golden retrievers! Check out some other videos!

Split second calls by umpires not always perfect
The weather again disrupted fixtures with both Mildenhall and Long Melford rained off. There were victories for Sudbury, Worlington, Exning and Lakenheath, but defeats for Hadleigh, Halstead and Haverhill.
Sudbury comprehensively beat Hadleigh for the second time this season, winning by 143 runs. Sudbury 253-4, newly-wed Darren Batch 88 not out, Hadleigh 110, Marlon Dias 27, Batch 2-11. Obviously an early night for Darren after his wedding the day before!
This Saturday Sudbury entertain Halstead and Hadleigh are away at Mildenhall.
Worlington got back to winning ways, beating Maldon by nine wickets. Maldon 183, Craig Woollard 4-40, Worlington 184-1, Jimmy Watson 92 no, Richard Ford 74no. Next up is a trip to Wivenhoe.
Halstead welcomed Witham to Star Stile and the visitors went off with the spoils, winning by 66 runs.
Witham 268-4, Dylan Verreynne 2-45, Halstead 202-8, Charlie Douglas-Hughes 57. A trip to Sudbury is next on the agenda.
Lakenheath kept up their winning run, beating promotion hopefuls Haverhill by 10 runs. Lakenheath 135, Shane Leech 37, Ben Wilkins 5-16. Haverhill 125, Adam Dellar 50, Tom Dupe 4-18, Sam Bowers 4-35.
Lakenheath are at home to Braintree while Haverhill travel to Long Melford.
Finally, Exning beat Sudbury II by nine wickets. Sudbury 188-6 Jon Phillips 53, Ollie Lawson 3-48, Exning 190-1, Daniel Baigent 82.
Exning are next at home to Mildenhall II and Sudbury home to Copford.
Now you know I like my food and for the first time ever I had cold fried egg and bacon sandwiches as part of a cricket tea at Haverhill. Not really sure I want them again.
I spoke last week about players' respect for umpires and this was called into question in the game between Haverhill and Lakenheath.
As an umpire I know I am not perfect, I make mistakes, hopefully not too many, and on this occasion I made a decision which the fielding side disagreed with.
For a few minutes, respect for me went out of the window, and it was only when threatened with disciplinary action did things quieten down.
One senior player came up to me and apologised there and then and said it was not acceptable.
There were no further incidents. After the game the captain sat with me and discussed the situation, we both saw each other's point-of-view; that it happened in the heat of the moment, and his apology was accepted.
The wicketkeeper and other players also came up and apologised.
I may well have made a mistake, we don't have the benefit of slow motion replays from all angles, we have to make a decision in a split second, and yes, we are human, we get some wrong, but no amount of moaning and groaning will get the decision changed.
My point in all of this is that we were able to sit down and discuss the situation in a reasonable manner and I would like to think that mutual respect was restored.
I would be interested to hear from anyone involved in the game for their thoughts.

We all love Pixar, but the more we watch its movies, the more details freak us out. Sometimes a writer's imagination can go too far and something that might have seemed an innocent idea in the beginning turn out to be a total disaster in the end. Our favorite childhood movies contain some incredibly hideous scenes that could easily ruin one's child years. And for some of us – they did! Here are 13 times Pixar went too far and freaked us out.
When in Cars Mater lived in a junkyard, which is equivalent to a human living in a graveyard next to a pile of body parts. Eerie!
Toy Story has more than enough weird scenes through all its sequels. Remember Sid and how he tortured his toys? Well, they were all conscious and hurting while he did that. Too sociopathic for out taste!
When in Up everything was so sunny and cheerful, until Ellie suddenly had a miscarriage. We were all heartbroken!
When Sully was devastated after he thought that Boo was squeezed and trash-compacted into a lifeless cube. In Monsters, Inc. We were also scared to death!
When Wall-E was left all alone on Earth cleaning after humanity's mess, but all he truly wanted was to have friends. It was never-ending horror!

Autonomous ride-sharing: A Possibility in the not too distant Future
Autonomous or self-driving cars harken to science fiction. But the development of such vehicles has been in the works for years.
Though we're still some years away from it, companies like Uber and Lyft are actually further along in the development of self-driving cars than you might think. Combine this with the recent on-demand economic platform of ride-sharing and it becomes clear that autonomous ride-sharing could soon be our reality.
Though we're still some years away from it, Uber and Lyft are actually further along in the development of self-driving cars than you might think. Combine this with the recent on-demand economic platform of ride-sharing and it becomes clear that the way we get around could be forever changed in the not too distant future.
Imagine a dense network of driver-less cars available to the masses on-demand. By eliminating the troubles of congestion, traffic accidents, parking and commuting, traveling could become safer and much more efficient. Nonetheless, a complete shift to autonomous vehicles for said companies could take more than a decade. But Lyft's co-founder John Zimmer still believes that we are on the verge of a "Third transportation revolution".
In his article 'The Road Ahead', John Zimmer talks about the influence of cars in this country and how over the decades, as we moved from rails to cars, cars have become our most essential means of transportation. However, millennials have shied away from actually owning them, especially in big cities. Because car ownership of is often seen as a hassle due to parking, fuel prices, and maintenance.
But thanks to the on-demand economy and companies like Uber and Lyft. Many commuters can get around conveniently without making the investment of purchasing their own vehicles. Especially in cities such as New York, Chicago, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.
The Uber way:
Uber introduced their first set of autonomous ride-sharing vehicles in the city of Pittsburgh. Their aim was to test these vehicles under the supervision of a human driver. Pairing with Volvo for their fully driverless XC90 sports utility vehicle, Uber hopes to eliminate the need for safety drivers soon as they work out the bugs in the system.
Uber CEO Travis Kalanick believes in the cost effective model of this driverless car concept. He knows that over a period of time, the mile-per cost of the autonomous ride-sharing vehicles will be cheaper than private cars. This will also make it more cost effective to commute from the city bringing their services to less populated areas.
Autonomous vehicle fleets by Lyft:
While ride-sharing was one step in transportation, Lyft plans to go completely driver-less by 2025. Lyft debuted their autonomous ride-sharing vehicles, in partnership with GM, in San Francisco and Phoenix. Their cars also require safety drivers but they hope to be fully autonomous within the next 5-10 years.
One issue, however, is that ride-sharing has depended on independent contractors using their private vehicles to get people around. Because of this, John Zimmer believes that Lyft needs to cut out the middle man by partnering with driver-less car manufacturers. By striking a deal with autonomous car companies, Lyft plans to form a dense network of cars owned by the company instead of individuals.
On the financial front, Zimmer talks about the long-term reduction in costs. As driver-less cars should prove to be more economical for customers. Basically, because they won't have to pay independent contractors this will correlate to savings for consumers.
In an article on Medium.com John Zimmer explains his concept of the three phases we can expect as we transition into a future with autonomous cars explaining:
1.We are currently in the first of three phases and will be until vehicles can be operated without any human intervention.
2.The second, or hybrid, period will be defined by a mix of limited capability autonomous vehicles operating alongside human-driven ones.
3.As technology improves, these cars will be able to drive themselves in more and more situations…and so on and so on, until every kind of trip can be completed by an autonomous car.
While a future of driverless ride-sharing cars sounds cool, what's the big picture? It does seem advantageous for consumers but what about those who make their living from driving for ride-sharing companies?
The good elements:
- Cost-effective
Car ownerships is expensive. And if autonomous cars do prove to be less expensive for consumers it's easy to see that business will boom for Uber and Lyft. Commuters will no longer have to worry about gas money, parking tickets or car maintenance. Customers will also save because said companies will not have to pay drivers which should mean lower fairs.
- Perfect solution younger and older generations
Many senior citizens find it difficult driving themselves and rely on ride-sharing to travel. While millennials prefer the quick on-demand convenience of ride-sharing, even in cities with abundant public transportation. They'd rather click their app and forget about it.
- Better infrastructure
Autonomous ride-sharing cars could eventually mean an end to car ownership. Though it may not eliminate all ownership initially, it could lower the demand for parking spaces and make way for opening up much more public space. Opening up spaces for more housing, lawns, playgrounds & Parks.
- Environmentally sound
Electric autonomous ride-sharing vehicles can reduce pollution in urban areas. Perhaps leading to more stop and go services in large cities. This may lead to smaller sized vehicles, less pollution and easy accessibility. Autonomous vehicle ride-sharing will also reduce the overall demand for fossil fuels for cars that aren't electric. This will naturally lead to less air pollution and a cleaner environment.
The bad elements:
- No accountability
As driver-less cars will not have a human driver to monitor commuters, this could lead to problems with disgruntled, inebriated or destructive passengers. This could lead to a slew of unforeseen issues, issues that could put passengers in danger. Hopefully, there has been some thought put into this as it probably will require advanced systems in place to ensure customer safety. Perhaps workers will still have to monitor the inside of cars to make sure everything is copacetic.
- Risk of unemployment
On-demand services have offered employment to a variety independent contractors, from recent retirees to millennials. Ride-sharing has provided a means for thousands of car owners to supplement their incomes and autonomous ride-sharing vehicles may bring mass unemployment to those who depend on companies like Uber and Lyft for their livelihood. We also can't overlook the fact that the "savings & convenience" Uber and Lyft foresee in the future will mostly be because they won't have to pay drivers. It's definitely something to think about.
The idea of Autonomous ride-sharing is an exciting one. But as we move forward in this new millennium we can't forget about the human element. Perhaps self-driving cars will equate to safer roads, less pollution and fewer expenses for the masses. But will we lose something along the road?

Buddy module is based on a famous boutique American amplifier Budda® Superdrive 60 with a unique vintage/modern feeling and very expressive voicings.
Price: 229$
Price including module: 409$
optional Push-Pull channel switch (additional clean channel) +20$
The character of Buddy's overdrive is very distinct, with deep bass, warm and punchy mids and a clear high end. This type of distortion quality is very harmonically rich and is very friendly when blended with other amps. It sits very well in any mix. With its wide range of gain, aggresive bite, awesome dynamic and full complex tone, it is a great choice for everyone who find the glut of Marshall and Fender clones on the market to be commonplace and tiresome. The Buddy sets itself apart and though it has the same familiar feel people will recognize it is definitely a classic of its own, destined to make its own legacy.
There's additional pull - MODERN switch on the Master pot - this widens the frequency sweep for a slightly different midrange. There is also optional new feature: additional CHANNEL switch on MIDDLE pot which offers clean channel based on the same amazing amplifier.
Let this module be your BUDDY and you will be a winner on any stage.

Vocal musician A Pass has blasted Ugandan politicians especially NRM MPs for lacking an independent mind.
The Gamululu hitmaker faulted the National Resistance Movement Members of Parliament for blindly following a collective ideology which has failed Uganda.
Labelling them 'the most annoying thing in Uganda' A Pass claimed the politicians don't care about Uganda.
He wrote: "Politicians are the most annoying thing in Uganda most especially the NRM members. Theylack an independent mind, they just have a collective ideology that they want to push, and that's all they can talk about. They don't care about the people and what matters to the people," A Pass wrote.
He further added that the youths have been left behind.
He added: "What hurts me the most they don't care about the Youth.
You say the youth are the future but you side line them. When will we have young people involved in state matters when we have these dinosaurs creating opportunities for themselves?"

Einstein & His Theory of Relationshiptivity. I made this card a hundred years ago. It was part of a gift that I gave Ann for no particular reason other than because I loved her.
It was a nod towards her love of math and science as well as an inside joke between the two of us. I loved to remind her that love wasn't based upon math or science. The heart wants what the heart wants and it doesn't give a damn whether logic is involved.
Or maybe it does. Maybe I was wrong. Maybe Brother Albert and the formula on his chalkboard proved that love was based upon science. It was/is worth thinking about.
I like science, not a huge fan of math but I like science. I enjoy knowing how things work and why they do. But I didn't need medicine to tell me why just thinking about Ann could make parts of my anatomy respond. I already knew. I understood it on every level that I needed to understand it on.
It all worked until it didn't and that was when I began to wonder if maybe it would be useful to learn more about what drives relationships. Yes, I confess that after we broke up I read a few books and listened to a few talks. It was all part of the grand plan to try and win her back.
But life happened. Things happened. And we didn't so I forgot about Albert's formula and the accompanying note in which I proved why we should be together. Forgot in part because you can't make a relationship work when you are the only one who tries.
I didn't have to interview Kim Boston or pay for a session with her to know that much. You can accuse me of being slow but I am not stupid.
Speaking of the unsinkable Ms. Boston I have to concede that she knows her stuff. She did a fine job of illustrating all of the major reasons why marriage failed and a number of the things we could have done to stop the damage. But we did run into this silly little difference between men and women that created its own set of issues.
Women want to connect and then be intimate whereas men view the intimacy as connecting. This is probably not true of every man or woman but I am still a firm believer in the proven success of the blow job relationship model.
For those of you who are not familiar with this the rule is simple, Give more head and you'll spend less time lying awake in bed worrying about why you don't talk anymore.
I probably should have shared this with Ms. Boston. In fact I think suggesting that women own their orgasm and ours is a great idea. Maybe I ought to quit my job and go back to school to become a therapist.
Nah, I barely have the patience to listen to my problems let alone yours.

Vacationing in the pink city is all about friends, family and forts. The city is home for to opulent palaces, towering forts and holy temples.

I'll Kick things off by sharing my favorite holiday recipe with you!
Nearly everyone loves Green Bean Casserole. My husband, however, is not a fan. I came up with this recipe, which uses no canned soup at all, as a more sophisticated version of the classic holiday favorite. It is Savory and Creamy, using great cheeses' and has a brightness, which it gets from fresh squeezed Lemon! I tailored it for adult tastes. That said, I have never met a kid who did not love it as well!
Not Yo Momma's Green Bean Casserole!

This piece is deep coated in a silver bath and glazed with freshwater cultured pearls. (The necklace measures about 21.5 inches long.)
It also comes with a certificate of authenticity:
Here it is on:
I absolutely love this necklace! Delicate gold jewelry is my favorite kind of jewelry – I'll be wearing this piece regularly! My only issue with Emma & Chloe this month is that the necklace arrived seriously tangled. (It took about 20 minutes to detangle.) I'm disappointed that they didn't package this necklace in a way to prevent that – it was SUCH a hassle!
My only issue with Emma & Chloe this month is that the necklace arrived seriously tangled. (It took about 20 minutes to detangle.) I'm disappointed that they didn't package this necklace in a way to prevent that – it was SUCH a hassle!
Verdict: Even with my tangle issues this month, I think this is a fab jewelry subscription. It's quality over quantity, and this piece is definitely impressive, and something I feel good paying $35 for. Plus I love that they let you specify if you want gold or silver – I think that really helps cut out the risk of this subscription.
And the packaging and presentation of this subscription box are amazing. This definitely qualifies as a gift to yourself – it was so fun to unbox!
What do you think of this month's Emma & Chloe?

Green is the word, is the word, is the word ♪♫♪♫
Happy Monday fellow nail polish lovers! I was gazing at my green polish collections earlier and decided to share them with you. I happen to love green polish, despite the fact that purple is my favourite colour ever, and as a kid I did not like green. At all. Who knew?
Blog Gadgets
LA Girl Color Addict, in Urge is a lovely springy fun green with a hint of gold shimmer,
and a great price at less than $3.
*sigh* So pretty.
OPI Hey! Get in Lime is one of those not quite mint colours that is quite unique and hard to describe. Looks great despite its finicky application which is typical of light greens.
Sally Hansen Green with Envy. A fun bright lime green that leans yellow.
Le Sigh.
I just may have to bust this one out one more time before summer ends here.
Thanks for looking!

I'm not one for sci-fi themed anything, but there's something about "Almost Human" that might have changed my mind. "Almost Human" kicked off Sunday, Nov. 17thwith a pilot and with the second episode airing the very next day.
The premise of "Almost Human" follows Detective John Kennex (Karl Urban, known for his work on the latest Star Trek movies). Kennex isn't the most appealing character as he is a forlorn pill popper fixated on past love and hating his life with his new robotic leg. With the severity of the crimes and the rising crime rates, each living police officer is assigned an android for protection and backup. Kennex isn't keen to his current emotionless model, who he bashes horribly. To his dismay, he is later partnered with Dorian (starring Michael Ealy of Seven Pounds), another android with a twist — Dorian is capable of having emotions, which is the reason why he was decommissioned prior to his assignment to Kennex. Will Dorian's emotional capability hurt or help Kennex?
The two-night premiere focused on the first assignment Kennex and Dorian are handed. They must investigate a robbery/kidnapping/terrorism plot brought on by criminal organization The Syndicate. It's clear in the premiers Dorian is a commodity that Kennex needs to protect. Will this duo establish a friendship? You have to stay tuned to find out.
Enjoy it for what it's worth. I like the entertainment value and plot, but the question on my mind is just how long can this play out before the plot runs dry? How long will it take for Michael Ealy to begin to age enough for viewers to notice he is not truly an android? Tune in and see if it's worth your time. It's on Fox every Monday at 8 p.m.

Sending mail to multiple users in their worklist
Hi Experts,
I have a simple requirement to send an information email to 3 or multiple users WORKLIST
Informing that the Approval request is Approved/Rejected and then my workflow should complete after that.
Sales Rep has read this information and take action accordingly and other people just need to read this information.
It should not happen that, if one person read this email then the information email should not be removed from the other users worklist.
I don't want to send workitem, instead i just want to send an infomation email to multiple users worklist.
It may be simple but i just don't know how can i do it.
I tried following and facing issues.
1) First i tried to send it via Sendmail step. This sends the information only on the SAP Inbox and not to worklist.
And also send mail step working only for single user and it is not working for multiple users.
I am passing the Business OBject Attribute In EXPRESSION - &BUS2000126.ZZ1ALL_APPROVERS_UID&( Type:WFSYST INITIATOR Multiline).
My attribute has 2 users at runtime
I am passing the same attribute in the User Decision step, it is sending the user decision workitem to both the
users without any problem.And even in the Recipient Assignment block in the user decision step
it is showing both the above users ids.
I don't know why it is not working in the Send mail step.
As the Send mail step don't send notification on the worklist, then i skipped using the send mail step.
2) Then i created another New Activity step with BO:SELFITEM Method:SENDTASKDESCRIPTION
Only synchronous object method checkbox is checked and rest of the checkbox in Task are unchecked.
Task is selected as GENERAL TASK.
I am passing the Business object attribute &BUS2000126.ZZ1ALL_APPR_SALESREP_UIDS&
IN EXPRESSION in the task.
Issues with this.
I am getting the workitem into my worklist but in Recipient Assignmen block it shows: No results found.
So, i am affraid is it going to all the users ?
When i try to Execute the workitem by clicking on Execute button, it gives error message as below.
"Associated object SELFITEM cannot be opened; contact your system administrator"
And following are the binding between workflow and task.
Please let me know, do i need to pass any value in the binding other than Addressstring ?
or do i need business object other than SELFITME to just send an information email to multiple user worklist.
last question, i don't know why execute button is coming into the workitem, i was expecting only confirm button to
be displayed for this information email.
Thanks for your quick response.

One Team One Dream! Everyone works together to achieve great results.
Sometimes there aren't enough hours.
bigger bonus, long customer interaction
long hour when its slow can be a drag
Advice to Management
listen to your employees
I have been working at Best Buy (More than 8 years)
Work is quick paced and challenging. Repairs will be on all sorts of machine from PC to Mac and Samsung
There is a lack of advancement once you become a Repair Agent. A different positions for advancement is rare and if it does come available it most likely won't be in your store.
I have been working at Best Buy part-time (Less than a year)
You stay very busy so if you are a busy body this job is great for you. You also get a great amount of product and software knowledge between multiple products. Most people who work at my location are genuine and honest and the managers are top tier. The managers are honestly some of the most professional role models I have ever met and they put other customer service managers to a shame. You can move up in the company and my store is based more on performance than whoever managers might like. Full time helps pay 3,500 towards college tuition.
High expectations. You're product knowledge must be extensive. People can use their phones 24/7 and you have to know more than the average person would. The pay is no where near what I'd expect to be earning with this type of knowledge. I'm about to finish my first year but unless 10.50 bumps up to 16.00 it seems like you're required to work and have the knowledge of an EXPERT but you're paid like a part time sales associate. You regularly take online classes every month to learn more about the products and there's always more to learn because policies and products change so rapidly. And you have to work your way to full time ( which can take months ) so you benefit from the college tuition. In the end you're not likely to go from working as a part time sales associate to working corporate. Some people are still working there after 20 years making probably 16-20 a month while you can do college for 4 years and make this at entry level software development with much larger growth potential.
I have been working at Best Buy part-time (More than a year)
You get a great discount on most items. I kill charging cords like crazy, so it's great to get them under a dollar. Another pro is that you meet some cool people and get to nerd out with some customers on non-busy days (aka most weekdays)
Management plays favorites way too often. People I work with give the managers energy drinks, food, and other things just to keep on their good side. If they don't get anything that day, they get stricter and act rude and with attitude. Then again, bribery is the only reason some people aren't fired at my store. Also, there is no room for advancement nor is there any benefit to doing well. Most days, no one really does anything because they know they won't get in trouble. Also, managers are inconsistent with policy. A customer is not allowed to use a credit card that doesn't have their name on it. So why do half the managers let it go through and let me get cussed out by customers? Also, don't bother expressing your opinion, or you'll get threats of being fired. Being an "At-Will" company, they are allowed to do that, and it's horrible.
Advice to Management
Act like management and learn what the policy is. Also, don't play favorites by who spends the most on you. We get paid little enough as it is.
I worked at Best Buy full-time (Less than a year)
Great coaching, flexible hours, very busy
No real career, its a regular 9-5 job.
I have been working at Best Buy full-time (More than 3 years)
Do not have to work in a customer face to face interaction enviroment if you do not like interacting with people.
The inventory team does a lot of grunt work as in unloading trucks, preparing recycled products for shipping, setting up the store for the sales team, down stocking. These are very important processes for the business to function successfully and yet the inventory team gets little to no recognition most of the time. Sales team is where all the talent and handwork is recognized.
A little discouraging for the inventory team whose job is just as important!
Advice to Management
Recognize EVERY team! Inventory is not as easy and laid back as most of you think.
Helpful (1)
Good pay. The work environment was very uplifting. Could get bonuses based on phone order sales. This applied only to the multichannel associates.
Complicated hard headed customer calling for stupid things.
Advice to Management
Managers for the most part where very helpful but a few hated to be called over for help.
I have been working at Best Buy part-time
Good pay for a retail job. It feels great selling high end appliances and whole kitchens.
Management tends to give their two cents on just about everything.
Advice to Management
Let Pacific Kitchen & Home employees manage themselves.
Bonus for sales associate. Discount
managers, arent able to get sick, have to show up evn though theres 3 feet of snow outside

Are you saying most people are looking for a fantasy companion out of their respective leagues? Or, are you saying that people are seeking those features and ignoring a potential partner's character?
