Since 1978, trade unions that have been recognised by the employer for bargaining purposes have been entitled to appoint safety representatives, with specific rights and functions, as laid down in the 1977 Safety Representatives and Safety Committees Regulations (SRSC Regs).
A copy of these regulations is available on request from the PCS Equality, Health and Safety Department.
In 1996, the Government introduced wider duties on employers for consultation with workers in specific circumstances.
This was to meet the requirements of a directive of the European Commission, on worker involvement in health and safety
Appointment of safety reps
Within PCS, safety reps should be appointed to cover every workplace.
They should, generally, be elected at the same time as other workplace reps.
If small workplaces of the same employer are grouped together geographically, there is nothing in the SRSC regulations to prevent one rep being appointed to cover more than one workplace.
However due consideration will need to be given to the practicalities of how that rep can service the needs of members across those workplaces - consider whether time and resources allow the rep to properly look after the embers and whether you might need to.
Number of safety reps
The SRSC regulations allow for the appointment of more than one safety rep for a workplace. Circumstances that might mean more than one rep is advisable include:
- large number of employees
- variety of jobs
- shift systems
- variety of hazards - e.g. offices and workshops on the same site.
It is for the union to decide the appropriate number of safety reps - not management.
However, we need to ensure that we can support our arguments for the number of safety representatives - in case management deny some reps the time to perform their functions.
Similarly, in small workplaces with more than one union, there is nothing to stop a PCS rep agreeing to look after the interest of another union's members.
Any union member can serve as a safety rep, though they should normally have at least 2 years experience with the employer or on similar work.
This stipulation, which is in the SRSC Regs, is to ensure that Safety Reps have sufficient knowledge and experience of the types of hazard typical to the area they are responsible for.
A structure for safety
In small enterprises, it may be that a single safety rep is responsible for all aspects of safety consultation within the company.
In most PCS locations, the local workplace safety rep will form part of a wider organisation to deal with safety matters.
It is important that the structure adopted by PCS reflects the management hierarchy, so that we have key negotiators at appropriate levels throughout the organisation.
One example might be in a large building or site, where there is a need for local safety reps to cover each part of the workplace, but only some of these form the core negotiating team that deals with management for issues affecting the site as a whole.
A further example would be with larger employers where safety is discussed not only at local workplace level but at national and maybe also intermediate levels.
Safety reps will need to be appointed to act as contact points with these various tiers of management.
Support and 'back-up'
Safety reps are a vital part of the PCS organisation. However, they are not alone.
Other local reps, including local stewards or workplace reps, safety reps from other parts of your workplace (or other unions) may be able to help in dealing with management or suggesting possible solutions to problems.
Branch officers and staff at the PCS regional offices may also be able to help. They will know about local agreements, training courses available and where to take problems that cannot be resolved within the workplaces.
Each group and many national branches have appointed a senior lay rep to serve on the PCS national health and safety forum.
These people often negotiate at national level with management on health and safety issues and can advise local reps on agreements and procedures.
Finally, PCS Headquarters has an Equality, Health and Safety Department, who can advise on legal requirements and best practice.

Broken garage door spring repair is one of the most common repairs we do – they lift the majority of the weight, and are what cause the door to open and close smoothly. There are two types of springs – extension springs and torsion springs.
The most common type of springs are torsion springs, and it is extremely important to make sure that these springs are in good shape and tuned up. Springs have a limited lifespan and without proper maintenance, springs will eventually break – causing your garage door to malfunction. Broken springs can be extremely dangerous, causing garage door cables to snap, damage your electronic opener, or cause your garage door to stop, get stuck, or worse of all, drop and cause irreparable damage. A garage door's spring is measured in cycles (opening and closing your door counts as one cycle). On average, a garage door spring has a 10,000-cycle lifespan. The more frequently you use your garage door, the shorter the lifespan. For instance – if you use your garage door twice a day, the lifespan of the spring is approximately 14 years. If you use your garage door 4 times a day, the expectancy drops to 7 years, and so forth.
If you suspect that you need broken garage door spring repair, it is critical that you contact a professional. Attempting to adjust or replace springs yourself is extremely dangerous and can result in severe injury if not done by a trained professional. Our technicians are highly trained and experienced in garage door spring replacements, along with any other garage door needs.

We all know the classics. Tons of writing has been done on that topic, uncountable hours argued over tiny twists to the unchangeable, bartenders' reputations grow and go with them, but really, drinking rock solid perfection isn't always quite the point. True, some stayed and lasted for millennia. But lots of drinks completely depend on momentary fashion, on what the popular media favors at the time, what a new movement happens to dig out from the obscurities of alcoholic history. Let's see a few of these jokers and where to head for the ultimate experience.
Movies, Drinks, Class (or not so much?)
Take James Bond for example. His "shaken, not stirred" Vodka Martini turns anyone into a secret agent on the spot. Since 1964's Goldfinger, the drink can't escape its movie reference. The best Vodka Martinis come from the best vodka, so here's a neat list of the best vodka bars in the world.
Not all vodka-based drinks have the sleek charm of dark secrecy; there is not much elegance or class in the Coen brothers classic The Big Lebowski. "The Dude"'s frequent White Russians made this previously obscure drink into a legend. No-one forgets the connotation of Jeff Bridges' character when they're fixing a White Russian after a crazy day. Or afternoon. Or a difficult wake-up call.
Another bold drink that owes everything to its screen presence is the Orange Whip. "Who wants an Orange Whip? Orange Whip? Orange Whip?" Yep, The Blues Brothers shot the blend of rum, vodka, cream and orange juice to a permanent spot on the film drinks menu.
Whatever our views on the martini glass, we can't leave out the Sex and the City staple – the Cosmopolitan. We love one from the Artesian in Marylebone… And now let's leave the vodkas.
Whiskey Wonders
Whiskeys have assumed many movie roles over the time. For Bill Murray in Lost in Translation it's always "Suntory Whiskey time", and he makes this Japanese brand the most cross-cultural film drink experience we've seen. The prize for the most persistent movie presence among specific brands probably goes to Jack Daniel's whiskey. This is an easy one, since the angular bottle is a given at any corner shop. So if you want to step into The Shining, descend into your closest dirty bar and you're all set. For a fancy choice of thousands of whiskeys (&co.), make a reservation at our favorite Whisky Mist or check out one of the other top London whiskey bars! While we're on the thrillers, Silence of the Lambs made the Italian wine Chianti part of a very quotable line about a cannibalistic dinner.
On a lighter note, here's the best cocktail-inspired pop song ever – "Brass Monkey" by Beastie Boys of course. And yes – of course we left out loads, no-one can drink all of the pop-culture drinks!
Which one's your favorite? Comment! Cheers!
P.S.:You have to see this wonderful series of posters illustrating the most iconic movie beverages: http://bit.ly/H9ngG2
P.P.S.: Feeling creative? There's always a market for made up drinks in movies and real life alike. Here's a couple different spots for drinks in our beloved capital!

While discussing America's current standoff with Iran on the Ron Paul Liberty Report podcast, former Congressman Ron Paul suggested President Trump get rid of John Bolton, Mike Pompeo and other neocons to eliminate their negative influences.
During the Wednesday transmission, Paul said President Trump seems to be trying to satisfy the neocons surrounding him while also trying to satisfy his own instincts, which Paul admits are "much better than the instincts of the neocons."
"If they would take my advice, which they're not even going to ask for, I'd say, 'Well, get rid of John Bolton. Get rid of Pompeo. Get rid of Haspel and get rid of Abrams,'" Paul said.

On Tuesday, Tucker Carlson also covered Bolton's war hawk stance against Iran and his role in the Trump administration, asking, "How influential is Bolton in The White House?"
Wednesday evening, President Trump went to Twitter to clarify what's going on in The White House when it comes to the Middle East.
POTUS denied rumors of infighting and said, "Different opinions are expressed and I make a decisive and final decision," adding, "I'm sure that Iran will want to talk soon."
The Fake News Washington Post, and even more Fake News New York Times, are writing stories that there is infighting with respect to my strong policy in the Middle East. There is no infighting whatsoever….

….Different opinions are expressed and I make a decisive and final decision – it is a very simple process. All sides, views, and policies are covered. I'm sure that Iran will want to talk soon.

John Terry doubtful for Liverpool clash next weekend after picking up Ankle injury
Chelsea failed to get the three points in a hard-fought affair at Swansea and the result is not the only cause for concern for manager Antonio Conte.
Club captain John Terry, having undergone a difficult afternoon at the back, was seen limping after picking up an ankle injury in the final minute of the Premier League clash.
Terry was clipped by Leroy Fer, scorer of Swansea's second goal, sending the centre-back flying.
The Englishman looked in agony as he made his way over to the travelling Chelsea fans after Andre Marriner had blown his whistle.
And the 35-year-old was pictured leaving the Liberty Stadium on crutches, throwing his availability for Friday's match against Liverpool into doubt.
Terry took to Instagram on Sunday night to express his frustration at picking up the knock, sharing an image of his foot wrapped up.
Conte was unsure of the extent of the problem but did not seem concerned by the situation ahead of the visit of the Reds.
'I don't know the extent (of the injury),' he said. 'Tomorrow we'll see the situation about his ankle. He is a warrior. I'm not worried.'
Terry's defensive partner Gary Cahill was clearly unimpressed with Fer's challenge that lead up to Swansea's second goal.
'It's a clear foul.,' he said. 'I'm frustrated. Come on, seriously! You could be sat on the moon and see it is a clear foul.
'I took the touch away from [Fer], he came through the back of me. It was clear as day and seeing it back has made me even more angry.
'It's all fun and games for the fans isn't it, but it's the players who suffer. That kills me and kills my team. We have dropped two points which is massive in this league.
'Look at my face! It's incredible. I said to the referee 'there's three of you that can see that'. There were two fouls, and between the officials they have said that they couldn't see it. For me that is incredible.'
Chelsea were in complete control of the match in Wales but self-destructed with mistakes by Thibaut Courtois and Gary Cahill after Diego Costa's opener, before the striker rescued a point with his acrobatic second.

Landscapes of Solidarity: Timber Workers and the Making of Place in the Pacific Northwest, 1900-1964
Beda, Steven Christopher
MetadataShow full item record
This dissertation is an environmental history of Northwest timber workers. Looking at rural logging communities in Washington, Oregon, northern California, Idaho, and British Columbia between 1900 and 1964, it examines how timber-working communities interacted with the physical environment through work, subsistence, and recreation and explores how nature shaped working-class culture, community, and the politics of one union, the International Woodworkers of America (IWA). This study identifies an ethic of place as a critical part of working-class experience in the Northwest woods. Timber-working communities developed their identities through their relationship with the forest, and while they believed in the work they did, as well as in the lumber industry's important economic place in the rural Northwest, they also believed that changes to the landscape brought about by industrial logging needed to be carefully considered and at times constrained. In the postwar period, timber workers belonging to the IWA began putting political pressure on the lumber industry to try to force their employers to follow more responsible harvesting guidelines and later supported forest preservation and attempts to expand Northwestern wilderness areas. This study contributes to recent efforts to combine labor and environmental history. It highlights the central role that nature and visions of the landscape play in working-class culture and politics and demonstrates that place is an important category of analysis in working-class history. By examining work, recreation, and subsistence practices, it highlights the multiple ways working-class people engaged with nature. And, by documenting the IWA's role in forest policy debates it highlights the central role that working people and unions have played in the history of environmentalism.

An 18-month-old boy had to be rescued by firemen after being stuck in a deep hole for seven hours.
The hole was so narrow that he couldn't be reached that way, so the rescuers dug a hole very nearby, and then tunneled across to get him. Fortunately, he was unharmed.

1.) Collecting unemployment while waiting for social security disability benefits.
When you are applying for social security disability, you are claiming that you are unable to work for at least 12 months due to a physical or mental impairment. Unemployment, on the other hand, means that you are ready for work and are waiting for the right job that fits your work experience. If you are receiving unemployment when applying for social security disability, it can harm the chances of approval for your claim.
2.) Not seeing a doctor for your medical or emotional problems
If you have not seen a doctor for any of your health concerns, physical or mental, it will be hard to convince Social Security that it is serious enough to receive benefits. Social Security claim examiners base most of their decision on the applicant's medical records. Although, medical records help prove your case, Social Security cannot say no to an applicant solely for the fact that they have not seen a doctor. In this case, the disability examiner will schedule a consultative exam with a private physician for a medical opinion to base their decision off of.
3.) Not taking medication prescribed by your doctor
Failing to comply and follow your doctor's treatment plan can affect your disability case. Often times Social Security will award you benefits in regards to the credibility of your statements. This means that they must believe you when you say that the symptoms you are having prevent you from being able to work. One way to check your credibility is if you have been following your doctor's treatment plan such as taking medications, using a cane or a brace, and attending follow up appointments.
4.) Not declaring mental conditions on Social Security Disability application
Both physical and mental impairments are placed into consideration by Social Security. Since disability claim examiners and judges base their decision off of the applicants inability to perform work duties, it is in the applicant's best interest to include all symptoms that could limit them. Examiners are required to review and consider all medical and emotional impairments that would limit the applicant in the workplace.
5.) Not checking your status of your disability claim
How often you check the status of your claim will give you an idea of the status your claim is at. This is where having legal representation is a huge benefit in getting results. The different levels of a disability claim are the initial claim, the reconsideration appeal, and the disability hearing level. It is also known that the Social Security Administration can sometimes lose paperwork, so it is important that you check the status of your claim regularly to ensure that it is on track. It is also known that Social Security examiners sometimes fail to notify the applicant that the application has been denied. Let Zolman Law take the lead in staying on top of your application status.
Zolman Law is here to help avoid these mistakes as you battle to get the social security disability that you deserve. Contact us today to schedule a free consultation and we can get your claim on the right track.

Avoid 5 Common Mistakes When Applying for Social Security Disability

Think of it as a seed-level venture capital fund whose portfolio consists of young Jews.
The new government of Israel, at the initiative of Finance Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, has indicated that it intends to abrogate Israel's share in the phenomenally successful birthright israel program. Say it ain't so, Bibi!
birthright israel is a program that sends Jewish young people for an all-expenses-paid first-time visit to their homeland. It provides an opportunity for young Jews to discover the reality of our amazing nation, to meet their peers here, to discover the roots of their faith. Since the program started in 1999, more than 40,000 have had what has proven for many to be a life-transforming experience.
But leave aside the emotional and spiritual value of this "journey that lasts a lifetime." Leave aside the dozens of marriages and friendships that have resulted from encounters on birthright israel trips.
birthright israel offers a tremendous boost for israel's economy, in the short and long term. It's good business.
First, the young Jews who visit love to spend their money here. Big time. They spend on burekas and falafel. They spend on souvenirs. They spend on gifts for their friends and family back home. birthright israel has calculated that the participants spend more than twice as much in Israel as it has cost to bring them here. Do the math.
Second, birthright israel is a godsend to the moribund Israeli tourist industry. Last winter alone, while Palestinian violence persisted and the threat of war in Iraq grew, birthright israel brought in 8,200 participants, and another thousand or so guides and chaperones.
In many respects, birthright israel trips are by far the largest source of Jewish tourism, greater than all the various "solidarity missions" combined. In many respects, it is the only game in town for some tour operators, independent guides, and hotels – especially in the hard-hit north and south of the country. birthright israel tours have enabled some tourism-oriented business to stay alive and keep their employees at work.
But the best reason for the government of Israel to keep supporting birthright israel is that the program is entrepreneurial in spirit and execution. The target market is independent-minded young people who have not been part of existing Jewish organizations and communities. Think of it as a seed-level venture capital fund whose portfolio consists of young Jews. Great product concept and fine raw material that a smart fund manager can develop into future supporters, and citizens, and revenue-generators for the state of Israel.
The idea of birthright israel, started as the brainchild of successful businessmen Michael Steinhardt and Charles R. Bronfman, is to invest a little bit in the greatest asset of the Jewish people: its young people. They passionately believe that young Jews, often previously linked to things Jewish by only the most tenuous bonds, can be re-connected for the rest of their lives both to Israel and to their local Jewish communities.
Ten philanthropists have given $5 million or more of their own funds to make the program possible. The United Jewish Communities, the roof organization for federations in North America, after some nudging, kicked in its share.
Like any VC fund, there will be failures and successes. But all the evidence indicates that birthright Israel, in terms of its impact on the lives of Jewish youth and Jewish communities, and its positive impact on Israel and Israelis, has been wildly successful.
Anyone present at this winter's birthright Israel mega-event, which took place on the same night as the most recent bombing in Tel Aviv, will have forever impressed in their minds and hearts the passion, love, and enthusiasm of Jewish youth for their rediscovered homeland.
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon addressed the group heartfelt feeling, calling on them to help make the dream of Israel's future come true by returning to the country and helping build a better nation. Many of them will answer that call, as hundreds have before them.
In a world of infinite choices, birthright israel shows young Jews our nation as a real life alternative, a place not just to visit, but to invest in, and even live in themselves.
With birthright israel, many young Jews who could not otherwise afford to visit have that opportunity. Without birthright israel, they might be forever lost to the Jewish nation.
The return on investment for state funds invested in birthright israel is huge. The return on our investment is the return of Jewish young people to a lifelong link to our nation.
To abandon birthright israel, to break the state's commitment to its share in that partnership, is more than a betrayal, and a blow to the nation's future.
It's penny-wise and pound-foolish. It's abandoning the young Jews that Israel needs to reach, undermining our already suffering tourism industry. It's undercutting a solemn commitment of our prime minister, breaking his word. What kind of message does that send to the next generation, and to overseas partners? It's just bad business all around.
Binyamin Netanyahu has proven himself to be an astute entrepreneur, an unparalleled communicator of the values of the State of Israel, and a hero of Jewish young people.
For this reason, I am confident that he and his colleagues will reinstate support for a program that is all about the creation of new wealth for our nation: the ideals, passions and talents of young Jews ready to invest in our nation, and return our investment in them with a level of interest and commitment that would make any VC green with envy.
birthright israel is not just a great adventure for participants. It's a great venture for Israel.

Here at Source One, we strongly believe that strategic sourcing doesn't end when a contract is signed. Proper and consistent auditing of supplier performance is required to ensure that anticipated savings are realized, and that suppliers are performing to the appropriate service levels. Sometimes even more egregious contract violations can be uncovered through audits, as our partner firm TheIntelligenceGroup discovered. Names have been changed to protect the guilty and the negligent.
Better Distribution Co. was a midsize $50 million distribution company based in a major metropolitan area. After hiring a new accounting firm, they quickly suspected it had been victimized by internal fraud. The Intelligence Group (TIG) was dispatched to assess the situation and meet with management. Through a review of procedures and records, several logical suspects emerged. In order to commit the fraud, access to the company's sales and accounts receivable system was required.
TIG immediately reviewed company records regarding the suspect employees, and implemented supplemental background investigation steps including financial background, criminal and litigation records, and corporate affiliations / ownership. TIG also recommended deploying a software monitoring program to notify management of sales and accounts receivable system activity by the suspects. Within 24 hours of implementing the program, several of the suspects accessed the monitored portions of the system.
That evening, a digital forensic team covertly imaged the suspect's computers. After a digital forensic analysis was performed, TIG identified evidence of the user canceling a sale after the merchandise was shipped, but before an invoice could be generated and the order posted to the accounts receivable system. Additional records were identified indicating a significant account of the salesman, Best Distribution Services, to have an inordinate number of orders cancelled over a three year period. Better Distribution's delivery records indicated otherwise.
By the end of that week, the background investigation revealed that one of these individuals, a 20+ year employee of the firm, had serious financial problems, while another was convicted of theft from another business 5 years prior. Best Distribution Services turned out to be a corporate partnership owned by three of the five suspects and their family members. The forensic computer analysis also revealed temporary web based bank records along with inordinate amounts of web based email threads that provided prosecutors and our client with a leg up in seeking financial restitution.

June 2014
Etihad Rail, the developer and operator of the UAE national railway network, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Saudi Railway Company (SAR) for collaboration and coordination for the rail industry among GCC members.
The MoU seeks to introduce common solutions, leverage best practice and allow for the free exchange of ideas and knowledge to improve the safety, efficiency, and economy of both countries' railways networks.
The agreement will serve as a partnership between both parties and will enhance the relationship and long-term collaboration that will ultimately promote and lead to the successful economic development of the railway industry in the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Committees including representatives from both parties will be created and collaborative meetings, seminars, and workshops will be held on a regular basis.
Commenting on the agreement, Faris Saif Al Mazrouei, acting CEO of Etihad Rail, says: "We are proud to announce this important MoU with SAR. We already work closely with our GCC neighbours in an effort to ensure that technical standards and technology for the railway network in the GCC are consistent, and this agreement will pave the way for greater cooperation, collaboration, and the exchange of knowledge with SAR.
"We can greatly benefit from Saudi Arabia's pioneering experience, particularly given that both Etihad Rail and SAR share common goals and aim to leverage the latest technology and the highest standards of safety, and to provide the most sustainable services in the transportation field."
SAR's CEO Rumaih bin Muhammad Al Rumaih says: "Establishing such relations and cooperation with Etihad Rail will improve both projects' executional mechanism and operations efficiency in the future, not only for Saudi Arabia and the UAE but for all GCC countries. This will contribute to creating an attractive market environment for rail and open doors to compete with other means of transportation, especially for freight and heavy haul."
He says SAR has through the last eight years gathered extensive experience in both railway projects and operations that its partners across the GCC can benefit from.
The scale of the whole Saudi railway networks, between cities, is more than 7,200 km with SAR responsible for projects extending more than 4,500 km, Al Rumaih adds.
SAR recently signed a contract with TQ Education and Training to operate Saudi Railway Polytechnic (SRP) institute. Al Rumaih says Etihad Rail and other railway organisations in the GCC are welcome to benefit from SRP.
According to Al Mazrouei, work on the UAE's national railway is progressing on schedule, and Etihad Rail believes that forming strong relationships with stakeholders of all railway projects in the GCC will further contribute to the success of the operation of the rail, as well as provide a secure link between the UAE and its neighbours.
Work has been completed on the Stage One of the $11-billion Etihad Rail, which also represents the completion of the first stage of the main GCC line, he adds.
Etihad Rail is currently testing and commissioning freight services on Phase One. Services on this part of the network, running from Shah and Habshan to Ruwais, are expected to be launched by the year-end. DB Schenker, Europe's largest railway company, has been contracted to operate and maintain the Phase One.
Etihad Rail is expected to award contracts for Stage Two this year. The preliminary engineering for the stage has been completed by the UK-based Atkins, according to the UAE's daily The National.
This second stage has provision for passengers as well as freight and will extend the network by 630 km. It will connect Musaffah in Abu Dhabi with Khalifa Port and Jebel Ali, and extend to the Saudi and Omani borders.
Khuloud Al Mazrouei, the assistant structure manager at Etihad Rail, says: "The next tender will be for the design-and-build of the second stage."
The contracts for Stage Two are divided into five packages. Package A will connect Ruwais to the Saudi border; Package B, Tarif to Al Ain; Package C, Musaffah to Jebel Ali; Package D is for a system integration of the previous locations; and Package F is for the facilities operations/control centre.
Stage Three, which will add almost another 300 km, will be operational from Decem-
ber 2018.
On completion, the Etihad Rail network, which will cater to both freight and passengers, will span approximately 1,200 km across the UAE. It will connect urban and peripheral communities, facilitate trade, open up communication channels and foster economic development across all the UAE emirates. The network will also form a vital part of the GCC railway network, linking the UAE to Saudi Arabia via Ghweifat in the west and Oman via Al Ain in the east.

Last night I had to lie down because I felt so ill. I'd had a couple of nights lighter on sleep than normal and, as a result, my eyes were even more sore and weepy than usual. I tried to watch TV, but even that proved too much for me, so, despite having had an afternoon nap too, by 8 p.m., I couldn't even sit up because I felt lightheaded, nauseous, hot and cold, downright weird and almost like drunk and needing to cling onto the floor.
So I lay down and went to sleep. I slept, more or less, right through 12 hours, until 8 a.m. this morning, when the cats wanted breakfast. I forced myself out of bed, because I needed to the loo mostly, to feed them and get my own breakfast. Even though I didn't really want to eat, I knew hunger would make the symptoms worse. Besides, I've had 15+ years practice at forcing food down me, even when I feel dreadfully nauseous. Most people wouldn't. I did this as quickly as possible, so I could get back to bed, because I feel absolutely crap.
To add to the feelings of general malaise and unbelievably awful level of nausea, today I'm shaking like someone who's had too much caffeine (I haven't), I ache everywhere, I feel like I have the flu (I don't), I have a feverish headache and a strange feeling in my back that I get when I have a fever too. I can't even sit up in bed. I don't even have the strength to support my own head. I need the light in the room to be relatively dim and the only way I can keep the desire to throw up down to just bearable, is to not move. Any stimulus, including noise, makes it worse, but I'm trying to keep myself amused with the computer - with simple things - just so I can keep awake and sane.
All I wanted to do and, indeed, all I can do is to lie as still as possible.
So, my mother didn't like it because I did not respond enthusiastically to her as she was whittering on about something that had absolutely no relevance to me whatsoever. So she grunted, impatiently - because she thinks I'm rude and wrong for not being interested - and storms off in a huff and slams the door loudly, as though she's been affronted. It's not the first time, by far. She knows what I have wrong with me. I've given her enough literature that, by now, she must have a fair idea of the general symptoms. She certainly knows that my symptoms NEVER go away, but can get worse. It doesn't even occur to her that I might be feeling too ill to be interested. She never thinks to ask.
Narcissists and psychopaths lack empathy.

I so know how you feel! I say ride the pizza wave and enjoy every cheesy mouthful. I view these blows outs as kinda like a mental health day - you need them every now and again to keep yourself sane. You're doing so great and you inspire lots of other people in the process with this great blog so don't beat yourself up. misspip xReplyDelete
Oy! Rule number uno - no funsucking allowed.ReplyDelete
I think what you need is a day of shoe shopping, bubble baths and reading trashy mags. Huh, sounds good - I might come and join you.
Hey Sara, - I just wanna comment that I think you are fantastic, and are doing awesome!ReplyDelete
Damn those bloody scales and measuring devices. It's frustrating! 0.5kg isn't what I consider a 'weight gain', - maybe you're just not as dehydrated as your previous weigh in or your food hasn't broken down the same, - pardon that pun!
At risk of sounding stupid, (and at risk of sounding disordered saying this) I am often highly surprised and pleased after I weigh myself the following morning after about 3 wines. Wine has that dehydrating effect I spose that looks better on the scale, (up to a kilo) - and for me works well as a cleansing type of laxative unintentionally LOL when enjoyed occasionally, better at that than fruit and fibre! Of course that's not the reason that I occasionally decide to indulge in wine etc, - but it's a good added bonus!
Keep up the fabbo work!

Above is a smartphone photo of Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving (right) taken a few hours ago. He was playing an early build of the EA Tiburon-developed return of EA Sports' basketball franchise. EA hadn't officially announced the game's title before that photo went out on Twitter, but the main EA Sports account and the EA Sports NBA account have since tweeted photos of Irving playing the game. In addition, EA Sports has confirmed to Kotaku that NBA Live 13, "an all-new experience that captures the future of basketball," is coming this fall.
A number of NBA players are already in Orlando -- home of EA Tiburon -- for All-Star Weekend festivities, and Irving's not the only one who has checked out Live 13. John Wall of the Washington Wizards and the Minnesota Timberwolves' Ricky Rubio have also stopped by; as Pasta Padre's Bryan Wiedey pointed out, all three players are young point guards, which could signal an area of focus for the game. If so, there's a certain Asian-American sensation who's probably waiting for a call from EA.
Irving later tweeted that EA will reveal more details next week on the NBA Live Facebook page.
Live 13 has been in the works for some time now. It was clear that EA Sports was going to ditch the NBA Elite brand, which reached debacle status back in 2010, although the new name was unknown until today. It might seem strange to return to Live after EA left that name for Elite, but the company likely realized that it could benefit from the extant brand loyalty of the long-running Live series.
After a poor reception to a buggy demo, EA Sports indefinitely delayed NBA Elite 11 just one week ahead of its scheduled release before canceling the game outright a month later. EA also moved the series from EA Canada to EA Tiburon, and announced in April 2011 that the Orlando-based studio -- also home to EA's Madden, NCAA Football, and Tiger Woods PGA Tour franchises -- wouldn't ship a simulation basketball title until 2012.

If someone were to mention what industry in Minnesota generates nearly $2 billion/year in direct sales and contributes approximately $7 billion to the state's economy, very few people would guess the pork industry. However, those are the most recent estimates of the impact that Minnesota swine producers have on the state's economy. Minnesota ranks third in the nation in hog production, producing over 15 million hogs/year. The pork industry is extremely important to the economy of south-central Minnesota. Blue Earth, Nicollet, Martin and Brown counties are in the top-five hog-production counties in the state. In fact, Martin County is in the top-10 hog-producing counties in the U.S., producing over 1.5 million hogs/year. Blue Earth County produces just under 1 million hogs annually, while both Nicollet and Brown counties produce about 650,000 hogs/year.
The pork industry supports over 20,000 jobs in Minnesota, including a significant amount of employment in the south-central Minnesota region. These jobs include hog management and care, meat processing, building construction and equipment manufacture, feed processing, trucking, veterinarians, etc. This region contains some of the state's major producers and integrators in the swine industry, several major feed processors and equipment manufacturers and some of the largest veterinarian clinics in the upper Midwest. Two of the largest soybean processing plants in the U.S. are located in Mankato, ADM and CHS, both of which have a large employment base. The primary product produced at these plants is soybean meal, of which nearly 95% is fed to livestock, and in south-central Minnesota, a large percentage of the soybean meal is fed to hogs. Approximately half of the corn and one-third of the soybeans raised in Minnesota each year is fed to livestock.
The manure generated by swine facilities has become a valuable resource to south-central Minnesota crop producers. Fertilizer costs for corn production in 2010 are expected to be $200-300/acre. A crop producer with some well-managed hog finishing facilities to provide liquid swine manure for fertilizer can provide a large percentage of the annual fertilizer needs for crop production. The availability of high-quality swine manure has become an important part of crop economics in the region. This is why there have been a large number of crop producers willing to invest in swine finishing facilities on their farms in recent years. Most of the liquid swine manure is injected into the soil in the fall or early spring, in order to take full advantage of the crop nutrients. This method of application is very environmentally friendly and poses very minimal risk of nutrient runoff into rivers and streams, especially on the heavier soils that exist in most parts of the region.
The U.S. swine industry is currently experiencing the equivalent of an economic tsunami, and the time has come for all of us to become more concerned, as this entire industry is under extreme financial stress. Most hog producers have experienced negative monthly profits for nearly two years, and some for even longer. In several of those months, the losses have been $15-30/hog produced or more, meaning that many producers are loosing tens of thousands of dollars each month. A considerable amount of equity is being drained out of rural America, especially in the upper Midwest, as swine producers are forced to use farm real estate and other assets as collateral to continue their swine operations in production.
The major economic and low profitability challenges that the swine industry has faced in the past two years – and is currently facing – is the result of a combination of several issues. Skyrocketing expenses for feed and other input costs in late 2007 and early 2008 were the beginning of the profit challenges. Increases in pork production, along with reduced export markets late in 2008, led to even more economic issues in the pork industry. Finally, the outbreak of the H1N1 virus, and the method by which it has been reported by the national media outlets, has lead to even greater challenges for the industry, and has delayed any potential economic recovery even longer. Producers are also faced with the potential of added environmental compliance regulations through the climate change bill, Clean Water Act and other proposed legislation in Congress, which could add even more expense to the cost of hog production, and further reduce future potential for profitability.
In the end, the swine industry in Minnesota is still alive and well, and it will likely be that way for a long time to come. Even though pork producers are currently facing some very difficult economic challenges, as well as some challenging long-term issues, the Minnesota swine industry has shown a strong resilience to overcome the economic challenges and industry issues that have existed in the past. There is no reason to suspect that things will be any different now or in the future. The pork industry in Minnesota will likely to continue to be a major economic factor in the future; however, there are likely to be some changes and adjustments to the industry in the coming months and years.

Good hair and a nice hat doesn't mean that Bozo isn't a clown
Apr 18, 2017 — A clown may be a professional, but remains a clown.
When the clown is thin-skinned, then the tool is to push eyes away from signatures and issues. Instead, make people argue and squabble. Divide to conquer. Toss bombs so that sweeping legislative changes are ignored.
Leadership is beholden, on both sides. The majority is jamming their agency and must be the President's lackeys. The minority must hold tight to the chest and is thus unwilling to think outside the box.
What is the alternative?
Isolate the President.
-- Show that Abraham Lincoln's Grand Old Party is being cheated.
-- Show that leaders face a choice, to either turn their back, or to abandon 45.
-- Show the public that a clown can dress nicely, but is still a clown.
If leadership on both sides is locked down, then rank-and-file must achieve what 1974 brought, namely a bipartisan momentum that ultimately pushed Richard Nixon to resign.
Ousting the President to save America should not be about specific politics. Everyone has their right to a political view. And each side has radicalized. So the center -- that "silent majority" -- will either galvanize against the President, or sit on the couch and be so disgusted that they don't vote.
Ouster only will occur by the President's growing isolation. That will happen only when rank-and-file agree that 45 is damaging government.
I've written to every standing President since Gerald Ford. (Won't be writing to this one, but I imagine jibbering like this may fall to his attention.)
I am pleased that heart surgery and a stroke have not utterly taken away my ability to think and write. But I am just a schlub, with no money or clout. Just putting thought onto the web, and in personal letters, so as to put forward thinking that goes beyond what is basically an inability to step back from the President's careful distractions.
I don't know whether 39 41 43 44 will see my messages to them, by pen and email. 42's wife being so closely tied to the election makes comments like mine unhelpful, so I am not reaching to them.
I seek bipartisan action because saving the country is worth more than political agendas.
I thank Sen. John McCain for his courage, at painting the President by broad strokes of critique. His words echo the AuH2O that cleansed our nation, and finally resulted in what 38 correctly said that, "America's long national nightmare is over."
Unless we stop yelling, there will quite possibly be victory for 45 due to jibbering, clowning, and systematic distraction. Eating cake and dropping bombs could simply be an act of distraction. If so, then one man would toss our own nation into risk, just to hold the office and use it to get richer.
Your signature would be helpful, of course. But this concept it put forward so that the revolutionary tool of the internet can toss ideas into your eyes so that tight-fisted leaders don't have the only tools.
Please sign, certainly.
Please spread, absolutely.
And please hold your nose at ideas that don't make you happy (like 42 43 44 all having a shot to win).
If we move beyond demanding that only our desires should win, then the victory is for all of the American people.
Except for Bozo.
Keep fighting for people power!

Latest Activity: Played Hex Empire (Oct 2, 2020 1:35pm)
Points needed for next level: 23 Level
I started posting again and I'm gonna update this thing. Basically all that stuff below is still mostly true, just imagine it's better written, don't want to bother editing it
Now instead of just tf2 I also play a lot of LoL and a little Hearthstone. Don't really play many other video games. I really like Frozen and the ASOIAF books. That's it for now. Old about me is below.
If you want to play TF2 with me, I'm Gibus-Toting Irishman and I mostly play on the server linked to as my website. It's an rtd server with custom rolls instead of the shitty cookie-cutter ones, and consideration is given to balance. If you tell me you're from Kongregate, I'll give you 200 credits.
I live in Seattle, and it rains a lot there but I'm usually just at my computer anyway.
Speaking of the phrase "a lot," a common misconception is that it is one word, "alot". This is simply not true, and it bugs me every time I see it. Please spare my grammar nazi eyes and say "a lot".
More people should play Europa Universalis III.
I make forum games and I daresay I'm pretty good at it. With every complimentary comment you give, though, my ego inflates to double its previous size so watch out or it might mess with the Earth's gravity especially since it was massive already.
I try and fail to include humor in my posts. Please don't laugh at me for my failed attempts at jokes.
I believe people should not be judged based on their choice of media to consume. Yes, this applies to Twilight and Jersey Shore just as much as it does to the thing you know I'm talking about.
I'm a liberal democrat and a feminist. Gay marriage is a human right, and polygamy and polyandry should be legalized along with marijuana. I dislike the misconception that feminists hate men, and I also dislike the misconception that men cannot be feminists.
Oh and I'm an atheist.
Oh man I forgot to tell you guys about the music I like! This must be of utmost importance to everyone, so I shall begin at once!
I like mostly classic and some indie rock. I like the 1% of rap that isn't shit, I like Johnny Cash, I like Bob Marley, and my favorite indie rock band is Modest Mouse (their early stuff and their late stuff are both really good in different ways) and I have a lot of classic rock bands which I like a lot, including but not limited to The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Supertramp and The Police
Anyway after reading this long profile you should totally get tf2 if you don't have it and play with me. I'm pretty good at it compared to most pubbers.
Proof I beat MFT in an argument
My Sporcle quizzes:
I have more Sporcle quizzes, but Kongregate was designed by retards so if I try to add them here it breaks my whole fucking profile. Seriously, what were they thinking? Anyway, if you're interested just shout or PM me.

Nick.com feature reveals Korra Family Trees – New Names
Here is an interesting turn of events. Nick have just put up a family tree feature on their site and it reveals the name of a few characters, while also highlighting many of the family tree mysteries we still have.
New Characters Revealed
Unalaq's Wife – Malina
Granma Yin's husband – Bohai
Mako and Bolin's Mother – Naoki
Chow's (Mako and Bolin's Uncle) wife – LiLing
Chow's other kids – Chow Jr and Meng-Meng
Asami's mother – Yasuko
Things not revealed that we are waiting for
Su's Father is left unknown
Iroh's Wife (ATLA Iroh)
Zuko's Wife
If Azula had kids or married.
If Sokka had kids or married
So overall this is an interesting feature I would definitely recommend everyone check out, but I do wonder why they are keeping some of these names a secret. I can understand Izumi's mother as Zuko and Mai's relationship will be addressed in "Smoke and Shadow" and perhaps Sokka's relationship is something to come in the comics. But names like Iroh's wife, who will probably never get any other information, I don't understand holding back.

Mai is Zuko's Wife
Airspeed Prime Reply:January 23rd, 2015 at 4:06 pm
It makes sense, but has not been confirmed, hence why she is not on these family trees.
Zuko Reply:January 23rd, 2015 at 6:40 pm
Yeah, do you think that'll be fully resolved in Smoke and Shadow series, or do you think they'll build up a bit more before actually revealing who Zuko's wife is. I mean, Mai is coming back in Snoke and Shadow right?
Ozailord1991 Reply:January 23rd, 2015 at 6:58 pm
Yes she is, in one of the free comic books she appears and reveal the new "enemy" of the next comics the "new ozai society"
Kimberly Said:
It's already been confirmed that Sokka stayed with Suki. Bryke said so themselves.
Airspeed Prime Reply:January 25th, 2015 at 12:56 pm
As far as I am aware they said that in a joking manner, so you can't quite go as far to say "Bryke said it, so it is canon" with this. If they had said it and meant it as confirmation then why isn't Suki on the family tree.
HelperMasterify Reply:January 26th, 2015 at 8:03 am
Where he said that?
Coul you sen a link?
Airspeed Prime Reply:January 26th, 2015 at 8:19 am
Avatar Wiki Q and A prior to Book 4 Starting, someone asked about Sokka and Suki and if anything interesting happened to them,
Their answer was this
"Not really. They moved to the suburbs. ;)"
So hard to know if they are serious, or just brushing aside the question. If they were serious and it is not a spoiler, then why not include Suki on the family tree. The wink face at the end is important, so I don't think it is 100% canon, there is probably a story to be told.
JJ Mason Said:
Anyone else think Yasuko looks like ty-lee? Possible grandmother of Asami?
Kikoman Said:
So… does that mean Sokka never had kids or even married Suki? It pisses me off that his story is just kinda thrown to the wayside. Toph had kids, Zuko has a grandson named after uncle Iroh, Aang and Katara has their family, but heaven forbid the non-bender should reproduce! WTF!?!?!?
Frankie Said:
Hmm, I still think Mai and Zuko got back together. In the end.
Daniel Pukkila Said:
I want to know what happened with Sokka. They didn`t go to specifics
in The Legend Of Korra, so i hope they will adress it soon.
Jacob Said:
I hope thay make a new one #giveusmoreavatar
Bogdan Said:
And Gran-Gran in Katara's family tree ??????
Joo Dee Said:
if sokka & suki aren't together then atleast he's got the moon hahaha

It is not always easy to cope with sports injuries, particularly when the type of injury that is suffered causes a substantial amount of pain. While the vast majority of sports injuries individuals struggle with tend to resolve themselves within a comparatively short span of time, occasionally they can be so incapacitating that the athlete is no longer able to play his favorite sport. Physiotherapy is a category of treatment that incorporates a number of approaches that can be used to help individuals recuperate from physical harms and get pain respite as well.
If you have never done physiotherapy before, then you should take some time to learn a tad more about it. The most common and prevalent kind of therapy is massage therapy and neuro-biofeedback in Delhi, and this has been used for thousands of years to help relieve discomfort and make muscles work better. The objective of a good massage is to mobilize muscle tissue in a way that aids to refurbish its ordinary function. Note that a good massage is not thought to leave any bruising, even though it should be reasonably deep, but will instead offer you with a feeling of amplified oomph.
Of course, if you want to relish the countless benefits provided by good massage therapy as well as other types of physiotherapy, you will need to take the time to find the veracious clinic. While all physiotherapists need to be licensed and qualified, it is indeed true that some will be able to do their jobs a tad better than others. If you desire to make certain that you get the very best treatment you can get, take all the time you need to do a tad of supplementary research on physiotherapy clinic in Delhi. You want to catch on where the best ones are and then sign up for treatment at these centers. There are so many ways that proper physiotherapy could help to improve the quality of your life that it would be imprudent to evade doing it just because it may be a little costly. Good physiotherapy can aid you to recuperate from a variety of enervating sports injuries or make it easier for your body to recuperate naturally from petty injuries. In any case, it is undoubtedly worth a shot. If you have suffered an injury that necessitates a physiotherapy process, visit PHYWORLD in Delhi to refer Dr. Vandana Sethi today!

ARA News
Suruc, Turkey – Subsequent to fierce battles against the Islamic State group (IS/ISIS), the joint forces (the People's Protection Units, the Peshmerga and FSA's rebels) seized Wednesday more villages at the banks of the Euphrates River in western Kobane (Ain al-Arab) in the province of Aleppo, northern Syria, Kurdish military sources reported.
Speaking to ARA News, Abu Ali Osman, a Kurdish fighter who participated in the recent battles, said that the joint forces took control of the village of Poraz on the banks of the Euphrates River, as well as the surrounding orchards and farms.
"The clashes resulted in the death of eight IS insurgents, and the destruction of two armored vehicles," Osman added.
Another source in the southern fighting front told ARA News that the joint forces retook the villages of Karak and Norali following IS withdrawal on Wednesday.
"The Peshmerga forces were able to kill about fifteen IS gunmen there," the source added.
Also, the Peshmerga forces stationed on the western front bombed the last IS stronghold in Kobane countryside in the village of Zor Maghar near the border with Turkey, which is now under the joint forces blockade, after the latter took control of the hills surrounding the village as well as the roads linking between them and the town of Shuyookh.
The Peshmerga and YPG fighters targeted with heavy weapons the village of Zor Maghar and Munir Ahmad palace amid reports of destroying the last IS tactical unit there, the source told ARA News.
In a related development, a military source from the western front of Kobane confirmed that the U.S.-led coalition's warplanes bombed the headquarters of the jihadists in al-Shuyookh Gharbi town near Kobane, killing leading members of the radical group.
The source pointed out that the coalition's warplanes launched several missiles at the municipality of Shuyookh Foqani, in which the IS leaders were holding a meeting, causing the death of at least eight members, including prominent leaders.

Larger ensembles in Dallas and Fort Worth had their share of victories in 2016, from the Dallas Opera's triumphant staging of Jake Heggie's Moby-Dick to the end of the Fort Worth Symphony's three-month-long strike.
But smaller organizations had their share of glorious moments in 2016 as well. Here is a list, in chronological order, of ten of those wonderful moments.
In February, The Cliburn's American Influence Festival concluded with a marvelous performance by baritone Jonathan Beyer, the Attaca Quartet, pianist Henry Kramer, and others in the Kimbell Art Museum's Renzo Piano Pavilion. These exceptional musicians performed music of Barber, Ives, Copland, and Liebermann. The program demonstrated the diversity of 20th-century American music in spectacular form.
In April, Dallas' Orpheus Chamber Singers and Houston's Ars Lyrica collaborated on an appropriately timed spring Messiah. Orpheus was masterful in this sublime performance. As many times as many listeners have heard this work, a performance of this caliber can only make us fall in love with Handel's oratorio all over again.
In May, Chamber Music International brought us a recital by clarinetist Jon Manasse and Jon Nakamatsu. This was one of the most delightful surprises of the year for me; this was no mere clarinet recital, but was instead an impressive display of both virtuosity and humor.
Also in May, Voices of Change, directed by Dallas Symphony violinist Maria Schleuning, brought yet another of its programs of contemporary chamber music to Dallas. May's program featured the music of American composer David Dzubay as well as that of the comparatively familiar Krzystof Penderecki. These fine performances were representative of Voices of Change's commitment to bringing new chamber music, performed at the highest level, to Dallas.
We often think of summer in DFW as being the "off season" for classical music, but summer festivals give us an opportunity to listen to live classical music all year long. One of these festivals is PianoTexas, which takes place in June and July at TCU. It features some major names in the piano world, performing solo recitals and chamber music concerts. This year in June, Davide Cabassi's solo piano recital was exceptional, as was a chamber music concert featuring members of the Adkins Quartet, Cabassi, and pianist Vadym Kholodenko.
In July, the Mimir Chamber Music Festival, also at TCU, included an absolutely stellar recital by pianists Alessio Bax and John Novacek, along with cellist Brant Taylor and others. Shostakovich's Cello Sonata received a fine reading by Taylor and Bax, while Taylor was joined by violinists Stephen Rose and Jun Iwasaki and violist Joan DerHovsepian for Schubert's Death and the Maiden Quartet.
Also in July, Dallas' Basically Beethoven Festival offers a series of free concerts at Dallas City Performance Hall. These concerts are a magnificent gift to the community, and invariably fill the hall. This year, Dallas pianist Alex McDonald directed the summer festival. The highlight was an animal-themed program featuring McDonald's own two-piano arrangement of Stravinsky's Firebird Suite. This program, which featured mostly short, relatively accessible pieces, is just the sort of thing DFW needs: free or low-cost access to high-caliber, family-friendly performances of classical music.
In October, the Blue Candlelight Music Series, held in a private Dallas home, featured cellist Jesús Castro-Balbi and pianist Alexander Tselyakov in an utterly captivating, intimate recital of Bach, Brahms, Ravel, and Piazzolla. Castro-Balbi's rich sound and Tselyakov's pyrotechnics were especially impressive in such close quarters.
Also in October, the Cliburn produced one of the finest programs of the year, featuring the Brentano Quartet and Cliburn gold medalist Haochen Zhang. Since the Brentano Quartet will collaborate with Cliburn finalists during the 2017 competition, this program served as a teaser for what is to come. But it was far more than that: the Brentano Quartet's performance of Beethoven's eulogistic Opus 135 quartet was revelatory in its thoughtful brilliance.
Finally, a November offering: Dallas Bach Society's series of house concerts in Flower Mound and Dallas featured, in the fall, cellist Eric Smith in authentic Baroque performances of Bach's Cello Suites numbers 1, 3, and 5. Smith will perform the three even-numbered suites in March, which will surely be a treat for the lucky few who score tickets to these in-home concerts. Smith's interpretation of Bach is an education and a delight.

When a medical emergency strikes your household, things can go from the usual semi-hectic to complete chaos very quickly. During an emergency, the focus should be on the care of the injured person or child, and there is little time to rifle through your medical files to find phone numbers and shot records.
Yet there are critical actions and pieces of information that should be considered during this time. Here are 4 Steps to Create a Family Emergency Plan.
