Provider Network Information
What is a Preferred Provider?
Beginning with the 2019-2020 policy year, a Preferred Provider is a doctor, hospital or other health care provider that participates in the UnitedHealthcare Choice Plus or the Live and Work Well Behavioral Health Network.
The advantage to using a Preferred Provider is that these providers have agreed to accept a predetermined fee or Preferred Allowance as payment for their services. Out-of-Network providers have not agreed to any prearranged fee schedule, therefore any charges in excess of the insurance payment may be the student's responsibility. Consequently, when insured students use Preferred Providers, out-of-pocket expenses will be less because any applicable cost sharing will be based on a Preferred Allowance.
The insured person should be aware that Preferred Provider hospitals may be staffed with Out-of-Network providers. Receiving services or care from an Out-of-Network provider at a Preferred Provider hospital does not guarantee that all charges will be paid at the Preferred Provider level of benefits.
How do I find a Preferred Provider?
To locate providers participating in the UnitedHealthcare Choice Plus network, call UnitedHealthcare toll-free at 1-866-948-8472 or click on the 'Search for Provider' button below.
To locate participating behavioral health providers, click on the 'Search for Provider' button below.
Network participation is subject to change, so please verify with the provider that they are participating in the network when making an appointment or at the time of service.For the 2018-2019 policy year, the provider network was through CareFirst. To locate Care First Provider click on the following link and select the type of provider you're trying to find - Medical, Mental Health, Dental, Vision, Pharmacy.

text: Lvl100Weezing 2 Report post Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) Hey. I'm really active still on the Arena in the xbox version. I was looking for a group of players to play with once and a while or regularly. I have a mic. I'm cool with floating around the ranked arenas or practicing on the player arenas. Anyway I would really like some people to play with. Send a friend request to LvL100 Weezing and just let me know who you are. To be honest I'm just tired of slapping around new players who are trying the arena for the first time. Since the sale in xbox live everyone online other than ESS beast, bobrayndon, Wolfbane, William Godoy, and narwhal ninja seem to be new players. (If I missed you don't be offended, we either haven't played or I just forgot about you). Anyway I'm really looking forward to some feedback. Everyone looking for some games let me know. By the way. The space in my gamertag is on purpose. It's different than my username here. Edited January 25, 2013 by Lvl100Weezing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Friday 3.8. - Kokkola Rock
Got picked up around 1430 in the afternoon to head out to the town that I grew up in. Some hours later we arrived in Kokkola and checked in to the hotel. Since our showtime was rather late (2345) I spent the evening at my friends house playing ps3 and catching up on things. Good times indeed. A bit later when I went to the rainy festival area, I checked out Matti Nykänen's performance for a couple of songs. For those of you who don't know, he was the most successful ski-jumper ever....and after doing that he's been a tabloid hero in Finland. Divorces, fights, jail....he's pretty much done it all. Anyways, the show went ok, no big issues and we were all enjoying it. Personally it felt really special since this was the first time we played in my former hometown with SA....after all I've been in the band for almost 10 years now so it was not a moment too soon. Had a few drinks after the show and met up with some people, nothing major though.
This is Tommy's Corner before the show....
...and this is his corner the next morning. Go Bananas :-)
Saturday 4.8. - Sotkamon Syke
Breakfast at 10:30 and the straight to the bus. Spent the ride playing bass and fiddling with the computer. Quite boring actually. In Sotkamo we went to the hotel and I started watching the Olympics but passed out for a couple of hours. Later on I met up with a friend of mine and we checked out Battle Beast together. In fact I used to be in a band with Nitte the singer like 5000 years ago or something, playing Deep Purple and Whitesnake. I enjoyed the show and then it was time to get ready for ours, listened to Finntroll a bit while getting ready.Hell Yeah !!! Our own show went along just fine until the intro of Fullmoon where I somehow lost my train of thought completely and fucked it up. I realized that I dropped the ball when Tony started laughing. Well, we're not a fucking Ed Sullivan show so I just gave it another shot and we were back on track. Rock'n'roll baby !!! We had the sauna at the hotel ready after the show (the gig started at midnight btw) so we had a late night Sauna before heading down to the bar, just in time to have one drink before the last call. I hate playing these great slots in the middle of the night but what can you do ? I think the last two summer shows have decent showtimes so I'll stop whining right now. At least about that.
Somewhere in Sotkamo a dude is missing his pants....
Sunday 5.8. - Travel Day ( Sotkamo-Kemi)
Almost missed the bus, I pressed the snooze button on my phone one time too many. Once in the bus I slept the whole ride home....guess I'm getting old :-) Next up is Joensuu and Mikkeli and then we're done for the summer.

Millbrook House
About us and our history
We are pleased to welcome you to our family home and business.
Millbrook House has been in the Glazebrook family since 1963, when Simon's parents, Hugh and Margaret, purchased an existing boarding school. The school doors closed to pupils in 2003 and many changes have taken place since. Millbrook House itself has become a family home. The classrooms and staff accommodation behind the house have been converted to flats and let to tenants. The short-let apartments were dormitories, classrooms and staff accommodation.
Millbrook House is a grade II listed property with part of the main house dating back to the 16th century with many 18th, 19th and 20th century alterations. There is a brick on the back of the house dated 1791 and it once was a farmhouse with racing stables.
The property used to be called The Firs, possibly because of the tall fir trees on the south side of the front garden. It was certainly still called The Firs in the 1920s but why the name was changed, and when, is unknown. From 1954 until 2003 it was a boys' boarding school.
We have 7 short-let apartments in one building, originally built in 1989 as classrooms, dormitories and staff accommodation, and converted in 2007. We have 3 further studio apartments in a new building on the site of a garage block which was completed in 2014.
The school gym is home to a studio, personal training gym and three therapy rooms rented out to freelance instructors, personal trainers and therapists. Please see Peak Movement Clinic for more information.

Sealyon: What Happened Next
Daylight is safer, but not safe enough. She can see what looks like a pile of people at the corner. They appear dead, but one can never tell these days. She clicks the safety off her 9mm and walks slowly toward the bodies.
In a darkened doorway, he is still with what passes for sleep. Her smell – blood and life – rouses him. I'm so hungry. Her blonde hair reminds him of something.
One of the bodies raises its torso straight up, an unnatural posture. She calmly fires 5 rounds into its head, too intent to notice him leaving the doorway.

Darkness Meets Light in Phifer's Dusk and Dawn Collection
Friday, January 11, 2019
Mineral-inspired hues are highlighted, and the importance of gray becomes apparent in Phifer's Dusk and Dawn furniture fabric collection.
Sweater gray, zinc, and charcoal play with optic white, and this pairing is anything but subtle. Muscadine, a soft amethyst shade, adds a delicate touch to this classic yet industrious palette.
The Dusk and Dawn Collection is comprised of Phifer's 100 percent recyclable GeoBella Indoor/Outdoor High Performance Fabrics and sling Phifertex Outdoor Fabrics. GeoBella features the soft, touchable texture of indoor furniture backed by the sturdiness and brawn needed for outdoor cushion applications.
Phifertex offers comfort, durability, and high performance and is equally comfortable in the sunroom as it is in the breakfast nook. It's also ideal for use in awning, umbrella, and new fabric applications such as wrapped furniture and padded slings.

Keep some hard drive space open to keep PC running smoothly
Q: I have a Windows 10 system with one hard drive divided into two partitions: a C drive and a D drive. My C drive was configured to have 150 GB and the D drive 780 GB. Currently, the C drive has only 6.3 GB available, whereas the D drive has 701 GB. How can I allocate more to the C drive, taking some from the D drive? My computer is reacting very slowly to mouse movements on some programs. I think it might be caused by the low amount of space on the C drive.
A: You are probably correct that the limited space on your C drive is causing some performance issues. Windows, in the course of opening, closing and working within various applications, is constantly writing out what are known as scratch files. These are files that the operating system uses to keep track of changes you are making to images, documents and database files.
As you are using your PC, these scratch files are constantly being created, updated and deleted.
It is generally a good idea to have at least 20 percent to 25 percent of your total drive space available for this to keep your computer running efficiently. Otherwise the computer has to do a lot more work to keep track of all the changes.
The good news is that Windows 10 makes it very easy to resize disk partitions, meaning you can take some of your abundant space on the D drive and allocate it to the C drive using Disk Management, which is a built into the Windows 10 operating system.
Open the Control Panel, search for Partition, and click on Create and Format Hard Disk Partitions.
This will bring up the utility and will show you your various drives and partitions.
Here you can shrink the larger drive and then extend the smaller drive to use the space you freed up when you shrunk the larger drive.
There is a good in-depth article on using this tool at the How To Geek website at tinyurl.com/helplinepartition.
I know that many old-school computer users like to keep separate partitions on their computer. The thought is that by segregating data between the two partitions, the computer will run more quickly, and it will be easier to manage data and applications.
I am not convinced that's as true today as it might have been in the past. Computers are much faster and backups are much easier to perform and maintain these days, but old habits die hard.
At least in the more modern operating systems you have built in tools like Disk Management to perform these tasks, whereas previously you needed a third-party application that was fairly expensive and not always easy to use.

Robert Crampton: There's nothing we miss more than our mix tapes
A fascinating study has revealed the top 25 activities supplanted by new technology that we Brits miss the most. Activities recently supplanted by recent innovations, that is. I don't mean having to travel by horse and cart, not having enough to eat and keeling over stone dead at 42 for want of medical developments yet to be invented. I'm talking more about those everyday pastimes rendered obsolete not that long ago.
Such as sticking photos in an album rather than storing them on your smartphone. Or buying music in physical form. Or using your telephone to make actual phone calls, something my children would rather die than be caught doing. Things that your columnist, in other words, 53 years young as he is, clearly recalls

In the wake of the opioid epidemic, research in studying natural and effective ways to heal chronic pain so we can decrease our use of long term addictive medications which is having people get help at rehab orlando is essential. Sleep is found to be a major factor in healing as well as preventing the development of chronic pain. If you've been in an accident it can also be a more serious condition and you may need whiplash treatment.
According to CBD colors, getting deep, restful sleep is crucial to overcome chronic pain and other long term medical conditions. You can check products which help you sleep here at cbd-colors.com/products/sleep-support. Insomnia is the term used to describe sleep disturbances such as difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep. Insomnia can worsen pain and pain can worsen insomnia. The main reason why people in chronic pain get less sleep is that they tend to focus on negative, catastrophic thoughts just before getting to sleep.
"There may not be a single body system that can't be improved by getting sufficient sleep," says physical therapist, Keith Poorbaugh in PT in Motion magazine.
How does lack of sleep affect chronic pain?
Poor sleep doesn't allow the body's cells to fully repair and rejuvenate. During sleep, our body is actively getting rid of old cells, making new ones and shipping the new cells to their destinations. Our brain also opens channels to flush out its waste products.
Insomnia also causes pro inflammatory cells to be released in the body which increases pain.
The "Central sensitization" pain theory says the reason for ongoing pain is the brain and nervous system have become super sensitive. Both are on "high alert" mode. Stressful social situations like an argument with a family member or work colleague sounds the alarm in your nervous system. Body movements that aren't physically harmful 6 months past an original injury, could be interpreted as a threat. In response to these threats, the brain sends pain as a form of protecting you. This heightened sensitivity lowers your threshold for pain which increases pain frequency. Worrying about pain just before sleep is found to be the main reason for insomnia.
Life stressors, such as a pressured workload, caring for family, health related anxiety, or experiencing a traumatic event can also negatively impact our sleep cycle. Research shows that one night of sleep deprivation can result in an increased state of anxiety and pain arousal the next day. Developing effective coping mechanisms for stress can improve quality of sleep.
Talk to your health professional about your sleep as it holds the key to lowering pain.
- How many hours of sleep do you typically get per night?
- Do you make getting regular sleep a priority?
- Do you feel well rested when you wake up?
- Does your current medical condition affect your sleep? If so, how?
- How would you rate your sleep quality?
- Do you need to take long naps (over 20 minutes) to function during the day?
- Do you have difficulty getting to sleep or returning to sleep if you wake up during the night?
- Do you snore loudly or frequently?
- How to stop snoring immediately?
- Has anyone observed you stop breathing while you sleep? Address any sleep apnea issues.
- Do you have a strong urge to continually move your legs during sleep?
10 Tips to Improve Sleep to Reduce Pain
- Be the early bird, not the night owl. Our body has a natural rhythm, called circadian rhythm that's in sync with sunrise and nightfall. Make sleep a priority by getting to bed just after sundown and waking up earlier with the sun.
- Create a relaxing bedtime routine – shut off all back lit screen devices (phones, TV, Kindle) one hour before bedtime. Blue backlit devices delays the secretion of melatonin, a hormone that promotes sleep.
- Listen to a free guided meditation or calming music on YouTube to relax your body/mind and prevent worry/catastrophic thoughts.
- Sleep in a dark, cool, quiet bedroom that lowers the level of sensory stimuli. Your bed should be for sleep and sex. No working, reading or eating in bed to allow your brain to associate bed with sleep. If you're having difficulty finding a comfortable position, consult your physical therapist.
- Before bed, free your mind from your To-Do list or concerns by writing them down. Writing helps to release the worry as you have committed your feelings on paper. Focus on the positive events of the day in bed and think about what you're grateful for. This helps your brain sense safety and calm.
- Avoid long day-time naps to "make up" for missed sleep. Consult with a sleep specialist who can guide you through this habit.
- Limit stimulants like caffeine and alcohol a few hours before bedtime.
- Exercise. Research shows that regular daily exercise, like walking for 30 minutes a day, improves sleep. You fall asleep faster, get deeper sleep, increase total sleep time.
- Sleep medications are highly addictive, so best to avoid them completely. Talk to your doctor if any medications you're taking for a medical condition can disrupt sleep.
- Try using natural medicine to help you cope with insomnia, we recommend using CBD. Some research іndісаtеѕ thаt the саnnаbіnоіd CBD mау interact with specific rесерtоrѕ, роtеntіаllу аffесtіng the ѕlеер/wаkе сусlе. If you prefer to use natural products rather then drugs you might also be interested in CBD based gummies. Learn more about laweekly cbd and its benefits here. Looking for recreational marijuana clones? askmeaboutmarijuana.com has a platform for patients to buy clones for sale online from trusted marijuana nurseries.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is also beneficial as it addresses your underlying cause of sleep disorders.
Goodnight and sweet dreams!

A southern Indiana county plans to start in January a needle-exchange program aimed at curbing the spread of hepatitis C and HIV after struggling for months to find funding.
The Clark County program will begin Jan. 26 at a Jeffersonville site that will be open each Thursday. County health officer Dr. Kevin Burke tells the News and Tribune he hopes to eventually have the exchange available two days a week and at other locations.
Indiana's health commissioner gave permission in August for Clark County's exchange following a 2015 HIV outbreak linked to intravenous drug use in neighboring Scott County. Clark County didn't have enough money for the program until receiving a $7,000 grant in October.
Nine of Indiana's 92 counties have been approved for needle-exchange programs.

A few days after the election the president-elect calls her father and says, 'So, Dad, I assume you will be coming to my inauguration?'
'I don't think so. It's a 30 hour drive, your mother isn't as young as she used to be, and my arthritis is acting up again.'
'Don't worry about it Dad, I'll send Air Force One to pick you up and take you home. And a limousine will pick you up at your door.'
'I don't know. Everybody will be so fancy. What would your mother wear?'
'Oh Dad,' replies Susan, 'I'll make sure she has a wonderful gown custom-made by the best designer in New York.
'Honey,' Dad complains, 'you know I can't eat those rich foods you and your friends like to eat.'
The President-to-be responds, 'Don't worry Dad. The entire affair is going to be handled by the best caterer in New York. I'll ensure your meals are salt free Dad, I really want you to come.'
So Dad reluctantly agrees and on January 20, 2017, Susan Boudreaux is being sworn in as President of the United States.
In the front row sits the new president's Dad and Mom. Dad, noticing the senator sitting next to him, leans over and whispers, 'You see that woman over there with her hand on the Bible, becoming President of the United States?'
The Senator whispers back, 'Yes I do.'
Dad says proudly, 'Her brother played football at LSU.'

Book of the month: White Peak Mountain Biking
- Tuesday 4 July 2017
Ashover Singletrack. Photo: John Coefield.
It would be a real shame if the White Peak, an area so full of potential, of deep valleys, high limestone hills and thick, leafy woodland, were not also full of legal trails. Happily enough, it's laced with them. Not only that, but they're some of the best trails in the country, the sort that leave you wondering: 'Who built this, and if it were not specifically for mountain biking, then why?'
Whether you like to ride smoothly and delicately, flitting through the trees and over roots, or in a less subtle manner, being knocked sideways by a big block of limestone whilst pinballing downhill at mach thirty-nine, there is a contender for your personal favourite piece of trail in the White Peak (we know everyone says this, but it's true, honestly!).
This month, we've made the Ashover Singletrack trail available to dowload as a free PDF (see below for the link). The route promises 'a fantastic ride, mainly on singletrack, with some good descents and one of the hardest climbs in this guide'.

By 2030, lowered costs and prices of local food, while ensuring subsequent food wasted is reduced overall and maximum consumption benefits received.
photo credit: go.hawaii.com
Consumption of locally grown food plays a key role in increasing local food production in Hawai'i, since demand for local food drives increased production. The greatest barriers to increasing local food consumption in Hawai'i include the often higher price for local food, consistent availability in desired quantities, reliable data that tracks imported and local food, and lack of trust that food marketed is genuinely locally produced. According to a study conducted by Ulupono Initiative surveying nearly 1,200 shoppers, Hawai'i residents want more locally grown products and are willing to pay more for it.
In an effort to encourage meaningful metrics to track the State goal of doubling local food production by 2020, the 2013 study "Hawai'i's food consumption and supply sources: benchmark estimates and measurement issues" by Matthew Loke and PingSun Leung suggests the following metrics to measure and track Hawaiʻi's food self-sufficiency. "Analysis indicates that Hawai'i has an overall food self-sufficiency ratio (SSR) of 15.7% and an overall food import dependency ratio (IDR) of 102.5%. While it appears counterintuitive that the IDR exceeds 100%, this figure actually indicates the existence of food imports into Hawai'i that are then turned around and re-exported to other markets. With application of the more accurate localization ratio (LR), we estimate that only 11.6% of available food for consumption in Hawai'i was actually sourced from local production in 2010. Likewise, the modified import dependency ratio (MIDR) indicates that an estimated 88.4% of available food in Hawai'i was sourced from imports." (Loke and Leung, 2013) Having these metrics on an annual basis would greatly help provide an more accurate picture for food sourcing and self-sufficiency in Hawaiʻi.
There is a clear distinction between food and agricultural products. Examples of food products include starches, produce, dairy products, meats, and fish, while agricultural products encompass a larger category including foods, fuels, fibers, and raw materials. The figure below shows the "farm-gate" value, or commodity sales leaving the farm of agricultural products sold to consumers to show overall trends in local agricultural production. This dataset tracks the larger category of agricultural products including seed crops like cabbage, lettuce, and other produce, which make up an estimated 25% of these total sales. This dataset has dropped in recent years due to a decrease in commodity prices nationwide, which reflects efficiencies in the transportation and agricultural sector with increased technology. The subsequent figure shows the value of crops and animal products for home consumption.

Complete data not available for aquaculture in 2013, and therefore is omitted from this dataset. (Source: DBEDT Data Book 2016, USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) survey. Note that as of DBEDT Data Book 2018, crop value data is unavailable for 2017.)

Food Security

Nearly 1 in 6 children in Hawaiʻi is food insecure. Scroll over each bar on the left to see the average meal cost in each county. (Source: Feeding America, Map the Meal Gap, 2019.)
Figure 4: shows the percentage of food insecure households in Hawaiʻi compared to the U.S. average, from 2001-2018.
"Food Secure Households" haveaccess, at all times, to enough food for an active, healthy life for all household members: 88.9 % (114.9 million) of U.S. households were food secure in 2018. "Food-Insecure Households" are uncertain of having, or unable to acquire, at some time during the year, enough food to meet the needs of all their members because they had insufficient money or other resources for food: 11.1 % (14.3 million) of U.S. households were food insecure at some time during 2018. Food-Insecure Households include those with "low food security" and "very low food security". Households with "very low food security" are food insecure to the extent that normal eating patterns of some household members were disrupted at times during the year, with self-reported food intake below levels considered adequate.

There are many benefits of consuming local food, including fewer carbon emissions released from transportation, higher nutritional value, and increased sense of local community. Buying local also shows appreciation and respect for the hard work of local farmers. Health data indicates that a diet filled with fresh, local food is also much healthier than consuming processed, convenience foods. Through buying more local food, Hawai'i residents will not only benefit their diets, but will also support local farmers, businesses, and the economy.

Aside from housing and transportation, food is the most costly category in household, with many families relying on outside benefits such as Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Programs (SNAP) or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) (DBEDT Databook). This subsidy applies to local farmer's markets and can help make local food more affordable for families.

Food Waste
Despite the high price of food, there is a considerable amount of food waste in Hawai'i. According to a 2013 study by University of Hawai'i, Hawai'i wasted an estimated 261,382 tons of food in 2010, which is about 26% of the available food supply. This equates to approximately 360 pounds of food waste per person annually. The largest portion of Hawai'i's food waste is from consumers, with approximately 16% of all edible food in Hawai'i wasted at the consumption level. Reducing food waste through more sustainable actions such as composting has the potential to reduce Hawai'i's dependence on imported food.

Pennocrucium: Roman Penkridge pt6
Introduction: 2015
This is the final in a series of articles that ultimately together will make make-up my undergraduate degree dissertation on Roman Penkridge, which was written back in 1999/2000. The first article dealt with the introductions followed by the location, extent, topography and the origins of Pennocrucium as a place-name; the second dealt with the road system, known and suggested; the third part is on the unidentified, possibly pre-Roman, cropmarks in the studied area, as well as the prehistoric finds; the fourth article is on the several Roman camps in the area; the fifth was on the three known forts and this final article will be on the settlement and villa, along with some overall conclusions.
Please remember, these articles are a product of their time: I have not kept track of any advances at the site since 1999, so much more may be known now, and equally the illustrations are now a little dated (I have had to photograph those in the project and dissertation and make them as clear as I can). Penkridge is a little out of this Blog's area, however, the places referred to will be known to everyone locally (anyone that has driven from the Gailey island towards Brewood has gone through or past these sites). Finally, I have re-written parts for certain reasons, but ultimately it remains a dissertation – in other words it wasn't written for the Wyrleyblog audience but to impress the University – so please bear that in mind and I hope some find it of interest.
Pennocrucium: Construction Sequence Evidence
Part IV: The Roman Settlement and Villa
The settlement of Pennocrucium lies astride Watling St, like the fort at Housesteads (Hadrian's Wall) lay astride the Military Way and the settlement at Corbridge astride the Stanegate. The settlement site at Pennocrucium would really be the prime location in the area for a civil development; it is on high ground and would not only have initially had a Roman garrison to financially exploit, but plenty of passing trade as it was at the junction of several major roads. Its origins are far from clear: the surrounding military ditches give the impression that it may have grown from a fort itself, but limited dating evidence suggests to me that it started out as a vicus (that is a civil settlement attracted by a military installation, for example) around the Watling St fort in the latter 1st century AD.
In 1947, Professor JK St Joseph began his limited excavations on the north side of the settlement (1956, p1-5) and by his own admission, these were far from extensive. He undertook an investigation of the ditch system (see fig: 20), which proved to be a triple ditch system, over 80 ft wide, with the middle ditch showing signs of re-cutting. No trace of a rampart could be found, although it must be remembered that the 5-acre site has been subjected to continual ploughing since the medieval period – indeed, the deep furrows of the medieval ploughs are still evident in the aerial photographs
St Joseph went on to excavate several exploratory trenches in the interior of the northern half of the settlement – covering over a 200 ft stretch of Watling St. He claimed to have uncovered three of the 12-15 ft wide cobbled lanes that sub-divided the settlement. Suggested by the depth of the surface soils, St Joseph thought that the buildings on the road frontage, between the lanes, appeared to be timber constructions that grew organically and they possibly had rear gardens. He also offered two clear occupation phases with the first ending around the time of an extensive fire, as indicated by the carbonised wood and clay found in the cobbles of the lanes.
The finds were disappointing: the coin evidence, a dupondius of Vespasian (AD 69-79), an as of Nerva (AD 96-98) and an as of Antoninus Pius (AD 138-161) can only give a terminus post quem (meaning a 'date after which' – the dupondius dates to Vespasian, so the earliest it can date to is AD 69), as they were found in an un-stratified context anyway. The pottery (see fig: 21a) ranges from the 1st to the late 3rd centuries AD, indicating a substantial occupation period. Now housed at the Birmingham Museum, the finds included part of a Samian ware dish stamped CVTI.MA (dated to AD 81-117), a fragment of 'rusticated' jar in 'blue-grey' ware and fragments mug handle and amphorae neck.
These excavations were followed up in 1953/4 by work on the southern section. Once again, these were small-scale excavations and were 'insufficient to establish a dating sequence for the structures found; but there was evidence for at least two (possibly three) periods of occupation'. (Barton, 1956, p7).
The first period of occupation, represented by a gravel layer, pottery (see fig 21b) and clay dates to the late 1st – early 2nd centuries AD. The pottery, now also at Birmingham Museum, consisted of a piece of decorated Samian ware (AD 81-117), some 'Flavian' pieces of Samian ware (AD 69-96) and some unlisted Samian ware fragments. Sometime after Hadrian's reign – and placed somewhere between AD 130-160, as Hadrianic pottery was found underneath, large cobbled pavements were laid down. This may represent a period of prosperity for the settlement, which if it did, came to an end with its destruction by fire at some point between the latter half of the 3rd century and around AD 320. This supports St Joseph's analysis of his excavations; it would suggest either the deliberate sacking or levelling of the settlement, both unlikely to me, or the widespread accidental damage to the site that resulted in abandonment – which, to me, is more likely.
Further small-scale works were carried out in 1956 when the road was widened; Webster's notes (1956, p10-11) are vague and claim that the 'road works' were carried out, in part, under the care of the Ministry of Works. There seems to have been little archaeological input, apart from members of the Wolverhampton Archaeological Society visiting the site to retrieve pottery, however, some important information was gleaned.
Firstly, the site was extended considerably further to the east than the settlement ditch system suggested, with Webster placing it to around 110 yards past the Water Eaton Road; however, this is somewhat put into context by the two mile occupation area suggested to the east of the ditch system at Wall (Webster, 1983, p6). There was still no evidence uncovered for any stone walls.
Secondly, the Ministry of Works was informed that a skeleton had been disturbed to the east of the settlement, but Webster could give no further information or, indeed, a more precise location. If this skeleton was indeed found, it would be consistent with the Roman burial practice of being outside a settlement and next to a road. A cemetery was found next to the road and outside the settlement area of Wall, but the 30 or so burials here were cremations. This lost skeleton is very frustrating – inhumation took over from cremation in the latter second century AD and the position of the body, if it were proved to be Roman, would have indicated the maximum extent of the settlement at that point (latter 2nd century at least).
Finally, a stone-lined well, some 3 ft in diameter, was located within the settlement, on the south side of Watling St. This well could only be excavated to a depth of 8 ft below surface level due to water seepage. The filling had pottery wares dating to the 3rd and 4th centuries AD, together with a couple of coins: a quinarius of Allectus (died AD 296) and an aes of Gratian (died AD 382). Allectus, and his predecessor Carausius, whom he murdered, were the British-usurpers – although Roman, they were self-proclaimed emperors of Britain until defeated in battle by the establishment.
Again the well is a frustration, as a full stratification of the well could not be obtained and so the full life-span of the well remains unknown; yet we know it must have been exposed in the late 4th century for the Gratian coin to have found its way in and some of the broken pieces of pottery also dated to this period – this, to me, suggests that the well had become a midden (a rubbish dump) at this time, yet there was still some sort of occupation of the settlement – after all, who would transport broken pot to a deserted settlement's well simply to dispose of it?
The fortification ditches are also a puzzle. Despite their military nature, suggested by the rounded corners (see above photos), Webster places them to the latter phases of the site. Webster claims similar fortifications to those at Pennocrucium can be found at Red Hill, Wall and Caves Inn. He terms these places as burgi, and that they formed 'a chain of strong points along Watling St, a plausible case having been made for the fortification of the road [a vital communication and trade route] by Constantius Chlorus when he regained Britain for the Roman empire after the period of independence under Carausius and Allectus (1983, p6). Webster supports this theory with mid-4th century pottery evidence recovered from the ditches at Wall, where excavation has shown a three-ditch system backed with a rampart. One thing to say, is that Pennocrucium, with its timber buildings (although stone was available, as shown by Engleton Villa and the well) does appear to be a poor relation to Wall – the posting station theory may well be correct.
The problem we currently have is that the vague dating structure we have from inside the settlement ditches has the demise of the settlement at around AD 320, although the pottery and coin evidence from the well has a later date. I suggest the following, which is based upon the fortifications being built sometime around AD 296 after the fall of Allectus: that the fire that engulfed the settlement around AD 320 was actually contained by the fortifications and that the east and western 'growth' beyond the fortifications was either created by those displaced after the fire, or continued unaffected for a period.
Engleton Villa was excavated in 1937 by the Wolverhampton Archaeological Society and a full report on the excavations appeared the following year written by Diana Ashcroft (a copy of which is somewhere in my loft 😦 ). The villa appeared to be a winged-corridor type, and was approximately 120 ft long by 72 ft wide in size, with a surrounding boundary ditch or drainage channels (see fig: 22a).
Built of local sandstone, on what was virgin land at the time, the villa appears to have had three distinct phases of construction (see fig: 22b). The pottery evidence from the site suggests that the first period, and the core of the villa building, date to the latter 1st century AD. Two things spring to mind: the first is that I cannot see a link at such a late date between the possible Iron-Age round-house cropmark (see part 3) and this villa; the second is that it is interesting to note that Barton dates the cobbled pavement within the settlement to around AD 160, so there maybe a link between that phase of settlement construction and the initial building of Engleston Villa. This would suggest a significant investment of private or state finance into the area – indeed, was the settlement partly a quarry for the villa to exploit as a workforce?
Periods II and III correspond to the 3rd and 4th centuries AD. They show that there was extensive expansion and rebuilding of the villa, in stone, and especially of the bathing facilities. Indeed, phase III coincides with what Barton and St Joseph see as the destruction of the settlement by fire. If this is the case, then again, a few thoughts come to mind: its survival supports an accidental fire, otherwise it too would likely have been sacked; if the settlement completely collapsed after the fire, from where did the villa get a workforce? Indeed, where did it sell its produce?
Of course, the villa may not have had an agricultural purpose at all. Villas had many purposes and get lumped together under a generic term, as motte and bailey, curtain wall, shell keeps, concentric and fortified manor houses are lumped together as castles. Engleston may never have had an agricultural aspect to it at all or just beyond some sort of self-sufficiency, and it must not be over-looked that this building could have supplied similar facilities to the bath-house and mansio at Wall for state officials (the postal system, for example). Indeed, to some degree this is supported by the 1937 excavations, which really failed to uncover any evidence of Roman agricultural equipment, a walled farm-yard or the produce.
Construction Sequence – Personal Conclusions
What follows are my personal conclusions based upon the slight evidence we have and, in some respects, simple logical argument – however, if you have read all the articles in this series (six in total), you will be aware of the limitations of the evidence. I pose many questions, alas there are few answers.
The landscape into which the Romans arrived, possibly via a roadway that existed in some format prior to Watling St, would certainly have been more wooded and a great deal wetter, with every possibility, as shown by the cropmarks, that the area was being exploited locally by farmers. The military posts were the first to be established and topographically the site seemed ideal with abundant water, flat-ish terrain and fuel/construction materials close at hand.
While there is every likelihood that camp 1 could have been the first installation on site and camp 2 may have been an abandoned fortress, I firmly believe that the Kinvaston fortress was the first semi-permanent facility in the area. I believe, with its proximity to the Rowley Hill tumulus, that the Latinised-Celtic name of Pennocrucium (meaning chief or hilly mound), was originally attached to Kinvaston. I believe it was laid out during the original push into Britain and the Caratacan campaign of AD 51. I think the defences were re-cut but it was down sized, possibly at the time of the Boudiccan revolt or the push into Brigantia around AD 71.
I think Kinvaston was abandoned in the 70s as the focus had moved to the road system and the occupation of Chester by the IInd Legion at that time. The Stretton Mill fort was then founded at a more practical location. The military value of Pennocrucium had declined as a front-line facility, but it was an important communications and transport hub in the military and political network – especially as Wroxeter was still a legionary base until AD 88.
I believe the Stretton fort was itself replaced a decade or so later by the fort on Watling St. I cannot think of any other reason for this other than a planned intention to start a community – a vicus – on the best ground possible. This actually makes sense, the fort is still needed as both the geographic and economic focal point to start the settlement; however, in my opinion, the Romans knew that the need for a military garrison at Pennocrucium would likely be short lived, but if they wanted a civil settlement (and its role of a postal station was mooted by Webster and others) then it would need a boost to get going. We know the settlement is established by the late 1st century – and some time later the fort must go out of use.
The organic growth of the settlement may well have been regulated with the laying down of cobbled lanes around AD130 – 160. This date also seems to tie in with the first phase of the villa, and may indicate financial investment from public or private sources. The settlement and villa are extended over time, until the settlement is ravaged by fire in the latter 3rd or early 4th century. The ditch system may have been in place and contained the fire, although it could have been after the fire and after the Allectus rebellion that the ditch system was put in place. Logically, I think the ditches were in place before the fire, as the community never regains its former status and such an undertaking for what was a devastated community seems futile.
The community seems to remain active but, very much reduced. The villa seems to continue its growth unabated, and I wonder if it became a lodge for official road traffic. As Romano-Britain faded so did the remains of the settlement. After the Roman withdrawal, it is believed that the population plummeted. Many Roman sites were abandoned in favour of new builds a few miles away and so Penkridge emerges. Many former farmsteads and isolated settlements were re-founded by the new rising populations in the 7th and 8th centuries and Water Eaton, Kinvaston and such smaller, dispersed settlements probably date to this time.
This final article, well I suppose all of them, are dedicated to the people of Penkridge – but especially to Pancho Clayton for running the Facebook page to allow me to post this for those interested.

Privy 5 Overview
For more than 50 years, Anh Hong Restaurant has been serving the people of San Francisco with authentic Vietnamese dishes. Although the restaurant is not as elegantly decorated, the service is impeccable. The food is great too especially their famous 7 Courses of Beef otherwise known as Bo 7. Truly a family recipe, it found its way among the list of traditional Vietnamese dishes. Other than this filling set, the spring rolls of different fillings are also most often ordered. These are just some of the many flavorful reasons why Anh Hong has accumulated a huge following over the past fifty years.

AI War 2 is out now! Get it on Steam today!
Maybe I'm misremembering but in AIW:FC didn't the warped in fleets start at the gate then traverse to the wormhole to make their assault? It was a long time ago.
I do agree that having giant blobs of ships suddenly splat onto your wormhole doesn't look super-great. Even if they just spread out like a normal fleet exit from a wormhole would likely look much better. Maybe there's a risk of ships being caught in a stack, but, you know, attacks from wormholes should be risky.

In 1996, North Melbourne agreed to a merger with the competition's cellar dwellers, Fitzroy only to be trumped by the Brisbane Bears at the eleventh hour. Rival clubs feared "football suicide" with the creation of a 'super team' and the AFL preferred the Bears merger over North for strategic reasons.
The Kangaroos dominated the latter part of the 1990's, going on to win the premiership two months after the merger was rejected. The all-conquering North Melbourne made another two grand finals by the end of the decade, winning a minor premiership in 1998 and second flag in four years in 1999. Half of the club's VFL/AFL premierships were won during this period under the Wayne Carey-led all-star team with the 90s seeing North Melbourne establish themselves as a genuine football powerhouse on the field.
North enjoyed possibly their greatest period of success during this time, rivalled only by the Ron Barassi-coached side of the 1970s that played off in six successive grand finals (including the drawn '77 final) for a two-flag return.
In the 11 years after the Lions merger went pear-shaped for the Kangaroos, only the Brisbane Lions enjoyed more success, however, North's actual existence was in question with the AFL and three-quarters of its board wanting the club to head north to the Gold Coast. Things may have gone pear-shaped in terms of the merger, but where were the fruits of those dominant years?
In 2007, having already fought off speculation of a move to Canberra, the Kangaroos appeared to be off to the Gold Coast on an AFL $100 million offer. If not for a member and supporter driven campaign and a James Brayshaw led to charge to keep north south, there'd be no Gold Coast Suns, or North Melbourne Kangaroos.
Eleven years have past since the Kangaroos became North Melbourne again, and while success on the field has dried up, off-field North Melbourne have never been stronger. Their membership base has more than doubled since 2007, nine years of profit has seen their previously $8.5 million debt almost completely annihilated, and a highly successful and profitable deal with Tasmania has been signed. Former club president James Brayshaw described the deal as "by far the best thing we've done in my time as Chairman of North Melbourne". Surprisingly, this includes saving the club from a Gold Coast relocation. Despite all of that, the cycle continues. Rinse and repeat. North Melbourne have to fight again.
Another football generation has passed since 2007. It's now 2018 and the North Melbourne Football Club will not support the AFL's revamped proposal detailed on The Mongrel Punt last week, to relocate the football club to Tasmania and relinquish the name "North Melbourne" in favour of the "Tassie Kangaroos" or simply the "Kangaroos". Over 12 months ago, North Melbourne rejected a similar proposal from the AFL to relocate to Tasmania. However, the extraordinary proposal reportedly on the table at the moment includes several new additional benefits for North Melbourne, including adopting the whole state of Tasmania as its recruiting zone.
The largest concession is the fact that despite the proposal requiring the Kangaroos to play seven of their eleven home games in Tasmania (four in Hobart and three in Launceston), the Tassie Kangaroos would still play the majority of their games in Melbourne if the proposal becomes a reality. The Tassie Kangaroos will play the remainder of their four home games in Melbourne as well as playing another eight games in their current home city. This breaks down to twelve games in Melbourne, seven in Tasmania and only a measly three genuine away games. It is an ominous proposition for rival clubs.
This supposed 'relocation' would mean the Kangaroos will only play one less game in Melbourne than they do this season, the same amount of games in Launceston as they do currently and play four games in Hobart that would ordinarily be away games. The adoption of the entire state of Tasmania as the club's recruiting zone (ala the Northern states academy systems) is also a huge advantage as the miracle implementation of a Tasmanian AFL side could see a reinvigoration of talent wanting to play Australia's game on the Apple Isle.
The proposal is the greatest ever relocation offer in the league's history. In fact, it is probably even unfair to categorise it as a relocation due to the amount of Melbourne games the club would retain. Not only does this opportunity provide ample benefits for the Kangaroos but also the game itself, as it will finally deliver a true national competition and could begin the process of saving the football crisis in Tasmania.
That's all well and good, however North Melbourne do not support the proposal for reasons that are beyond home game logistics and recruiting sweeteners. The club believes a relocation will damage its identity and there is nothing more important a football club has than that. This is especially true for a football club surviving in the context of a supporter base that fought so hard against a relocation they believed would have killed their club.
While, on the surface, the club only loses one game in Melbourne, it forces the name "North Melbourne" to be subbed off for the "Tassie Kangaroos". Issues such as a club colours, emblems, mascots and names may seem trivial in matters such as these but they should never, ever, be underestimated because these trivial things like a name are the things that separate a football club from YOUR football club.
The flip side to passion is realism. North Melbourne must become the Tassie Kangaroos in 2022. It will not kill their football club, but save it. The cycle must be broken. Ten Victorian-based teams will not exist forever in the AFL. They simply cannot. Relocation is inevitable. Clubs will either voluntarily move, or be moved. The other option is to fold completely.
It is for that reason, that the Victorian club with the weakest crowd and membership figures has been, and will continue to be consistently targeted for relocation and merger discussions. North Melbourne, regardless of the fight they show on-field and the premierships they win, regardless of the debt they wipe off or the facilities they build, are the most vulnerable football club in the AFL. Their long-term future in Melbourne is shaky.
The relocation offer – currently not supported by the club – could be the best relocation proposal they will ever receive. If accepted, it will see their long-term future secured and looking prosperous. The generational fight for their future will be over. They will play the majority of the games in Melbourne, wear blue and white, be the Kangaroos, retain their history, heritage and Shinboner spirit – everything barring the name 'North Melbourne'.
It pays to remember that its name that they chose to abandon between 1999 and 2007, to be known as simply the "Kangaroos". They can't act as though it's a precious commodity when they, themselves chose to discard it for eight years. Moreover, the club wanted to dump the name "North Melbourne" even earlier in 1998 – barring AFL intervention – the club would be known today as the "Northern Kangaroos".
So, when the club moved away from being called the "Shinboners" and changed to the "Kangaroos" in the 1950s was their identity destroyed? Hardly. The Kangaroos name is now synonymous with the club and the "Shinboner" spirit is alive, well and embraced amongst the players, coaches, officials and supporters.
Does anyone out there believe the club ceased to be their true selves in 1926 when the club's nickname was no longer the "Blue Birds"?
Did the club's spirit and culture grind to a halt the minute their name was changed from the Hotham Football Club, or when North Melbourne became Albert Park?
Your history may define you but you should never be anchored by it. Roos fans, ask yourselves this; would you rather be deciding whether you support North Melbourne or the Kangaroos, or whether you support North Melbourne or nothing?
North Melbourne has decided to push back against the AFL's latest Tasmanian proposal. It's a fight they've fought before, and they may well win again. They're used to winning these battles, but one day down the track they may lose one. And when they do, they may look back, regretting they didn't throw the in towel in 2018.
See you in 11 years.

This last summer, my husband and I were invited to join a bunch of other families from our community for a 2-night camping trip in Central Oregon. I don't think Aaron and I have really been camping since our excursion in Africa our first year of marriage!
I grew up tent camping with my family and loved it. I still remember waking up earlier than usual, running around and exploring with my siblings and cousins. I remember the crisp air that forced us to bundle up. I remember the smell of smoke from the fire pit that stuck to our clothes. I remember making smores and playing all day long out in nature.
Now that I have young kids, I want to be able to have those kinds of awesome experiences with them. I want them to have memories of playing out in rural nature.
I'll be honest with you…this trip was fun and well worth the effort we put in for it, but it also felt inconvenient. We had sleepless nights, we had to keep on our kid's tails to protect them from ravines, rivers, and wild animals, we had to use an outhouse, our 3-year-old had to use an outhouse (thankfully it was big and clean!) and we were outside of our comfort zone on every other front, but hey…it was worth it.
It will always be worth it.
We knew what we were getting ourselves into and we could have easily talked ourselves out it. We have the comfort of a nice home where daily routines and things like going to the bathroom are convenient. We have schedules that can keep us busy for decades. We have every excuse to look at what is hard and say, "Nah!" However, if we did that our kids would miss out on building fun memories with us. So we purposed to make this adventure incredible. We purposed to make memories as a family.
If you have young kids and you have the opportunity to go camping with them, please do! It will be a highlight for them and the experience will build up your family as a whole. Sure there will be things that are inconvenient, and you may even be tempted to complain along the way…this is where a husband and wife can really encourage each other. Gentle reminders of the purpose can bring positive perspective to the forefront.
Below is a family Vlog we filmed while camping. We hope it inspires you and your spouse to get out there with your kids for some incredible adventures!
Keep up with us Vlog 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 |

Employer Liability
It's the kind of publicity that anyone would want to avoid; someone snaps a picture of one of your crew members relieving them self on the job site and in plain view of the public.
See What One Error in Judgment Cost a Major Canadian Utility
Is your employee really to blame or is this now a matter of Employer Liability?
Is it their fault? What should they have done? What is your corporate policy in a situation such as this? Did you have a portable facility on site to deal with their personal sanitation needs? Was Brief Relief™ in the glove box?
Employer's, who have not made a provision for just this circumstance, render their employees and themselves, potentially liable for the violation of several laws. If convicted both employees and employers may be liable for substantial damages for violating such laws. Likewise fines and citations may be issued on the spot by health and safety organizations or by the local police.
The liability of employers for acts of their employees is well established in the law. Just one example of this is employers' liability for negligent acts of drunken employees. Such liability can lead to substantial damages. Similarly if an employee is charged with criminal conduct for being forced to expose and relieve him or herself in a public manner, the employer could face civil liability and damages.
Equally significant is the potential for employer liability for any damages arising from the employer's failure to provide an adequate sanitation facility on site.Such damages could, for example, arise from harassment of a female or male employee by coworkers, physical damage to ones bladder or kidneys from "holding it" or for emotional distress inflicted on workers.
With one phone callyou can avoid:
- Health Risks
- Long Term Disability
- Public Liability and Embarrassment
- Lost Man Hours and Down Time
- Increased Health Insurance Premiums
- Civil Liability and Criminal Charges
Still not convinced that having your employees "hold it" or use the "great outdoors" is risky?
Corporate Image Issues
- Awareness of these acts by the public creates poor impressions and relations.
- Commercial businesses, such as restaurants, may not welcome workers' use of their restroom facilities.
- The use of some commercial facilities, such as in taverns, creates poor public impressions and/or have been banned for such worker purposes.
- Workers urinating and defecating in public are in violation of local criminal laws related to public urination, disorderly conduct, indecent exposure and/or lascivious acts.
- Workers urinating and defecating in public create a threat of civil litigation to the employee and the corporation.
- Workers urinating and defecating in public create a threat of regulatory citations.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words….I wonder how much 60 seconds of video would cost your company!

Drake drops a new track to celebrate an ecstatic OVO Festival appearance in Toronto.
Fresh from a triumphant appearance at his 4th Annual OVO Festival in Toronto last night, in the course of which he was joined on-stage by Yeezus and, mentor, Lil Wayne, Drake has unveiled a new song titled "Hold On We're Going Home". The track finds the producer/songwriter collaborating with vocalist Majid Jordan to produce emotion-fuelled, disco influenced contemporary pop. Classic house beats complimented by percussive swells and the duo's soothing vocals combine on a track that is no doubt a hymn to Drake's hometown and host of his curated OVO Festival.
With a new album, Nothing Was The Same, due out on September 17th, "Hold On We're Going Home" will only serve to increase the anticipation for Aubrey 'Drake' Graham's third LP.
Stream 'Hold On We're Going Home' below.

Our extra virgin "IL CASTELLO" olive oil is extracted solely from olives picked by hand during October – November. After these olives have been picked they are transported to the mill and processed within 24 hours. First they are ventilated and rinsed, so as to separate the olives from foreign bodies such as leaves and twigs and then they are sent to the press where the olives are crushed with disc crushers.
The resulting paste passes to the kneading stage or is reshuffled to facilitate the extraction of the oil, this operation is performed for about 15 minutes at a temperature of no more than 25 degrees.
The kneaded paste is then sent to the decanter in which, with the addition of a small percentage of water and by centrifugal force, the oil is extracted.
This produces a juice called mosto which is composed of Oil and vegetable juice. The mosto then undergoes a final separation that separates the oil from the water and other impurities. The oil produced is then preserved until it is bottled in stainless steel kegs at a temperature of 15-17 degrees, hermetically sealed and placed under nitrogen.
The product protected in this way preserves its high quality and organoleptic uniqueness and specificity, preserving unaltered the freshness, goodness, aroma, fragrance and taste of old.
