Morrison Appoints Strain to Replace Pennycook as Finance Chief
William Morrison Supermarket Plc, the smallest of the four main U.K. grocery chains, said Trevor Strain will replace Finance Director Richard Pennycook.
Strain, who joined the company in 2009 and is corporate finance director, will be appointed to the main board in June, the Bradford, England-based retailer said today in a statement. Strain will take over responsibilities for finance, audit and information technology before his departure at that time.
Pennycook is leaving the business after almost eight years at the grocer. Strain previously worked at larger rival Tesco Plc as U.K property finance director and then as planning and reporting finance director before joining Morrison.

Good. I like the idea of the triple concentration and using less detergent and also lessening the number of plastic bottles in the environment.
Ļoti labs!
Posted by lasmav on Apr 10, 2012
Ļoti labs veļas mazgāšanas līdzeklis. Pilnīgi dabigs,nesatur fosfātus, amonjaku, SLS, SLES, utt. Īsāk sakot ļoti piemērtos bērnu (un ne tikai) drēbēm, neizraisa alerģiskas reakcijas! Ļoti ekonomisks, šī pudele pietiek pat 64 mazgāšanas reizēm. Man ļoti patīk, beidzot ne bērniem, ne vīram (pie krekla apkaklītes) neiekaist āda! Iesaku! No pieredzes ir viens mīnuss - Latvijas Pastā pāris reizes bija sabojāts pudeles korķītis, kā rezultātā viss bija iztecējis, tomēr gods kam gods, iherb.com kompensēja manus zaudējumus.
Great buy.

I like this Laundry liquid, and I will most definitely be purchasing this product again. I was using Soap Berries before, and I like using this product better. I also do all my laundry by hand using a washer plunger type, and this Laundry detergent works great.
My favorite "natural" laundry liquid
Posted by 5628240194533481303 on May 31, 2015
I keep returning to this product over and over again. Works great on any water temp. Having the small amount of citrus essence is much more pleasing than non-fragranced products which can smell quite awful. It is small enough not to give me any allergy issues either with my nose or skin. The only time I buy anything else (Ecover) is when this is out of stock and I do not want to wait. I wish they did a fabric softener too.
Posted by Reviewer1878151 on Feb 14, 2016
I was using Gain laundry detergent for a long time, and after reading about the toxic chemicals and what they do your health I decided to try this. Not only is natural, but it's cheaper than Gain.

I have an ASP.NET MVC 3 application that I am currently working on. I am implementing a service layer, which contains the business logic, and which is utilized by the controllers. The services themselves utilize repositories for data access, and the repositories use entity framework to talk to the database.
So top to bottom is: Controller > Service Layer > Repository (each service layer depends on a single injectable repository) > Entity Framework > Single Database.
I am finding myself making items such as UserService, EventService, PaymentService, etc.
In the service layer, I'll have functions such as:
ChargePaymentCard(int cardId, decimal amount)(part of PaymentService)
ActivateEvent(int eventId)(part of EventService)
SendValidationEmail(int userId)(part of UserService)
Also, as an example of a second place I am using this, I have another simple console application that runs as a scheduled task, which utilizes one of these services. There is also an upcoming second web application that will need to use multiple of these services.
Further, I would like to keep us open to splitting things up (such as our single database) and to moving to a service-oriented architecture down the road, and breaking some of these out into web services (conceivably even to be used by non-.NET apps some day). I've been keeping my eyes open for steps that might make make the leap to SOA less painful down the road.
I have started down the path of creating a separate assembly (DLL) for each service, but am wondering if I have started down the wrong path. I'm trying to be flexible and keep things loosely coupled, but is this path helping me any (towards SOA or in general), or just adding complexity? Should I instead by creating a single assembly/dll, containing my entire service layer, and use that single assembly wherever any services need to be used?
I'm not sure the implications of the path(s) I'm starting down, so any help on this would be appreciated!

Hey All,
Since the 2.5 version of wordpress, I'n not able to format the paragraphs of my text any other way than inserting a [full stop]-dot and turning it's color white.
This might seem a somewhat weird way to format a text. And it is.
Adding extra [enters] in my (visual) editor when writing doesn't help.
I've been browsing, reading suggestions about the html editor and/or the HTML clean up the wordpress editor uses.
But this shouldn't be important, since i rarely use the html editor.
IS there anyone who can keep me from adding white dots to my text?
Thanks and all the best,

Before asking any interview question, think about the real reason behind the inquiry. The need to know the answer to a permissible subject -- such as the applicant's availability to work the required schedule or perform the essential functions of the job -- may lead employers to ask illegal questions about religion, disability or childcare in a misguided attempt to elicit information. Federal regulations preclude an employer from making a hiring decision based on factors such as race, age, religion or marital status or from stereotyping based upon such factors. Employers must make sure interview questions are sharply focused on essential, permissible information and do not relate to illegal subjects or assumptions.
Personal Characteristics
Employers may not ask questions about an applicant's age, race, or national origin. For example, an employer may not ask where an applicant was born, how he learned to speak a particular language, what culture he identifies with, how old he is or when he graduated from high school. To identify relevant information with questions that are legally permissible, an employer may ask an applicant if he is 18 or older and legally authorized to work in the United States.
Marital Status and Children
Employers should avoid eliciting information that may not legally be considered as part of the hiring decision. An applicant should not be asked if she has children or plan to start a family, how her spouse feels about the job, whether she is pregnant or about the arrangements she has made for childcare. Instead, employers can ask whether the applicant is available to work an eight to five schedule, whether she is able and available to work occasional overtime or travel for the job. Note that these questions should only be asked if the job actually requires a set schedule, overtime or travel and all applicants are asked the same question.
The only permissible information to seek regarding a disability is whether the applicant can "perform the essential functions of the job, with or without accommodation." Again, this question should be posed to all applicants to ensure -- and be able to demonstrate -- there is no discriminatory intent behind the question. Employers should not ask for specific medical details about the disability or the applicant's family medical history, and should not seek information on current injuries, illnesses, medications or ongoing medical treatment during the interview process.
An applicant's religion is not a relevant -- or legal -- subject for hiring decisions. An employer must not ask an employee what religion he is, whether he attends church on Sundays, whether he will ask to wear religious clothing or want to observe religious holidays. Instead, the employer can ask if the applicant is available to work a particular schedule or on weekends -- again, as long as this is a requirement of the job and the question is asked of all applicants.
Other Topics
Other illegal questions include asking an applicant if she has ever been arrested -- only convictions, not arrests, can be considered during the background process -- whether a former military service member was honorably discharged, whether an applicant has any open workers compensation cases or if she has ever been involved in a lawsuit against a former employer.

Groton — After six months aboard the USS New Mexico (SSN 779), MM2 2nd class Jerrel Revels stepped onto Pier 31 at the Naval Submarine Base in Groton Monday afternoon, took to one knee, and proposed to his partner, Dylan Kirchner.
The proposal comes two years after the repeal of "don't ask, don't tell" — the U.S. military's ban on openly gay service members passed in 1993.
Revels, originally from Texas, met Kirchner, of Plainfield, through mutual friends last September.
"It kind of tickled my mind every now and then that (he would propose) but I never expected this," Kirchner said. "I didn't really care everbody was around. It felt just like the two of us."
The couple, who have not yet set a date for their wedding, were amid a crowd of more than 200 relatives and friends who were on hand to greet the returning crew. After departing from the submarine base on Feb. 13, the New Mexico transited more than 34,000 miles in the European region, stopping at Norway, Scotland and Spain.
The deployment was the first for the vessel as well as for 70 percent of the boat's 132-man crew, whose median age was 20.
Chief of the Boat Steven Fritzler said he was "astounded" with the diligence and hard work of the newcomer crew.
"Attitude and enthusiasm goes a long way," said Cmdr. George Perez.
STS3 Zachary King, who was on his first sub deployment, grinned while in a circle with his family and friends as he joked about the rainy weather in Scotland and times watching movies and playing video games with his shipmates.
"I was pretty excited about [the deployment]. I loved pulling into the ports of call," said King, who now plans some rest and relaxation before his next assignment.
The first crew members off the boat were cheered on for the traditional "first kiss" and "first hug." Since none of the crew had missed a birth of one of their children over the past six months, Marlaina Malone greeted her husband at the pier with their daughter — the youngest baby before deployment.
"She just started saying 'Da-da' this week," said Malone, as she clutched her 8-month-old, Molly, adorned in a red, white, and blue headband.
Fritzler will remain with the New Mexico for its second deployment, expected early next year, but Perez will pass on command at a ceremony aboard the vessel Aug. 30.
Although Deidra Burke won the first hug through a random drawing, her oldest sons, Isaac and Ethan, were there first to welcome their father, Electrician Mate First Class Jason Burke, home while she held on to their sleeping youngest son, Owen.
It was Burke's third deployment but the first in which she was left with all three sons.
"It's wonderful to have him home but I kept the boys busy," Deidra said. "I think we'll go to Hershey Park."

I am looking to get into digital scrapbooking and would like some "jumping off" advice. Do I need to purchase software, such as PhotoShop Elements? Or is there something available online? Then, do I download scrapbook kits? Are these premade where you just drop in your picture or are they customizable where you can put pieces where you want them? Then, where do you have your items printed? Where can I print sheets? Storybooks? Thanks in adnvace for any insights.

You can purchase PSE (which I use and love) or try out a free program like the Gimp. You could also download a trial version of PSE to check it out. You can do a google search and find plenty of free kits and there are many you can buy. The kits come with papers, elements, and alphas that you use to create the page. You can also get them separately. There are pre-made pages (sometimes called quickpages) that you can download and drop your photos in. Shabbyprincess.com is a good place to go for cute free kits. As far as printing goes, I have heard so many things such as Costco poster size, online stores, etc so you should just try out and see what you like. I have used Snapfish for books and they were ok but required a little finessing. I hope you enjoy your scrapping adventure!
Mama all the time to Elliott (11/09) and Nora (11/11).
Grrrr...I posted earlier and it didn't appear!!
I agree with getting Photoshop, I love it! When I learned, I just typed in what it was I wanted to do into google and found zillions of tutorials. There are a lot of free kits, I have never ever paid for one before.
Here are a few freebie search sites:
As for printing, you can have them printed in photobooks through places like snapfish. A site that I like to use has great reviews. It's $1.50 for a 12x12 or $1 for 8x8 (they have other sizes).
Scrapbooks to Share - Scrapbook Duplicating, Digital Scrapbook Printing, Greeting Cards, and More . . .
I have printed at Costco but it does cost a little more, I think it's $2.99 for a 12x12.
Like PP said, there are tons of options. Kits where you can move elements wherever you want, or quick pages to just drop photos in. Templates are a set design and you just put in whatever "paper" you want to use.
It's also very handy to learn to do some basic photo editing like mixing color and black and white, cropping, changing size, blurring, lighting...like I said, google for lots of tutorials!
It's really addicting once you get over the overwhelming learning stage. I found it easier to just set out to do a page instead of learning the basics first. I decided what I wanted to do and learned how instead of going through all the "getting started" tutorials. I'm not patient enough for that! LOL

Ditto on what's been said. I use inkubook.com to print. Their books are 11x11 but they resize your 12x12 page perfectly with no distortion. I use PSE 7.0 which is the most Up to date version. It was $80 at Sams but does so much more stuff than the earlier versions. It alove that you can make the shadows look more real. There is a huge learning curve on it. I've been scrapping digi from over a yr and I still feel like I only know a little more than the basics but I can whip out some cute pages still.

By Sgt. Daniel J. Nichols, 2nd BCT PAO, 1st Armd. Div., MND-BMay 9, 2009
'The surge' of five additional brigades into Iraq was announced in January 2007, with an additional requirement of increasing the length of deployments from 12 to 15 months. Since then, Coalition forces, Iraqi Security forces, and local citizens have seen the beneficial after-effects of the surge, with many areas of Iraq now rebuilding and communities becoming safe to live and work in once again.
Today, deployment lengths have returned to the original standard of 12 months. For some units however, there is still the need to go above and beyond the standard for the sake of accomplishing the mission; without short-changing their ISF counter-parts, the Soldiers coming to relieve their unit, and themselves.
The 2nd 'Iron' Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division, Multi-National Division-Baghdad, is one of those units. The brigade is one of the last brigades, if not the last, in Iraq to be deployed past 12 months.
In April, 2008, the Iron Brigade deployed from their home station in Baumholder Germany, to Kuwait, and prepared for their entry into Iraq. This would be the brigade's third deployment to Iraq since March 2003, totaling 42 months.
A few weeks later, in the beginning of May 2008, they had moved to Forward Operating Base Hammer, located just outside the southeastern edge of Baghdad, and assumed the Mada'in area from the 3rd Heavy Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division. The Iron Brigade was the only brigade combat team to replace a 'surge' brigade.
"This is my third deployment to Iraq, but this deployment was more organized than those," said Staff Sgt. Victor Perez, of Long Island, N.Y., training room non-commissioned officer in charge, Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 2nd BCT, 1st Armd. Div. "I guess the first few deployments were more of a learning experience and now we've gotten more organized."
Six months into the deployment, Iron Brigade Soldiers began relocating their battalions from FOB Hammer to Camp Striker on the Victory Base Complex and expanding their area of responsibility.
On November 14, 2008, the brigade conducted a transfer of authority with the 3rd Brigade, 101st Air Assault Div. Eight days later the brigade transferred to MND-B and the operations environment expanded to encompass the Mada'in and Mahmudiyah areas, also known as Baghdad's "Southern Belts." By the end of November the brigade had forces east and west of the Tigris River.
Established in their new location they continued their tireless efforts, working throughout the entire southern half of Baghdad. With the addition of two new battalions, 1st Combined Arms Battalion, 63rd Armored Regiment, 1st Infantry Division and 1st Battalion, 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division, their area of responsibility expanded with the addition of the Rashid district of Baghdad.
Throughout the southern half of Baghdad, the Soldiers of 2nd BCT performed combined security patrols with their ISF counterparts from the 2nd National Police Division, 9th Iraqi Army Division, and 17th IA Div. They found and disposed of numerous improvised explosive devices, along with discovering caches filled with weapons and homemade explosive making materials. All of this was done in combined cooperation with their ISF counterparts, who were only working harder to increase their capability as an organized force.
"Considering this is my first deployment I can only judge off of what I see now. They're eager to learn. I spent quite a period preparing to train the IA and then I went and conducted training with three different units at their division and battalions, they were really eager to learn and increase their capabilities," said Sgt. Jacqueline Reynolds, HHC, 2nd BCT, 1st Armd. Div., who spent four months training her ISF counter-parts. For other Soldiers who had been deployed in the past however, this kind of cooperation was something very new.
"The mission has changed for the Coalition forces since my last deployment in Iraq", said Sgt. Brian Gordon, of Cleveland Ohio, a track vehicle mechanic with HHC, 1st Battalion, 35th Armor Regiment, 2nd BCT, 1st Armd., Div.
"The CF unit operations were independent of IA forces in 2006 to 2007 for the overall mission because of the conflict with al-Qaeda forces in Ramadi and throughout Iraq. The mission during this deployment focused on combined operations with IA units providing more security in Iraq with the drawdown of CF troop levels and operations," said Gordon.
Aside from security operations, the Iron Brigade also worked to improve communities through embedded Provincial Reconstruction Teams and military civil affairs efforts to rebuild schools, workplaces, and key small businesses. Even during routine patrols, Soldiers from the Iron Brigade did what they could to improve the communities they protected.
"When we went and talked to them (Iraqi citizens) we would ask them about their sewage, their electricity, how their water was, security around that area, and their general concerns that they may have or how we could improve their lives," said Spc. Dustin Niehuus, a tank driver turned dismounted team leader and machine gunner with Company C, 1st Battalion 35th Armor Regiment. Niehuus spent most of his year in Iraq outside of Sadr City at Joint Security Station Comanche where his platoon went on daily eight hour patrols in the city right outside the gate.
"I think we made a difference in the area. By the time we left it was quiet. There was nothing going on there, and we could definitely see the improvement," said Niehuss.
In typical Iron Brigade fashion, when the calendar had marked 12 months of time spent in Iraq, instead of going home the 2nd BCT moved once again, this time to Forward Operating Base Falcon where they prepared to receive and remain in place for the next two months with their counter parts from the 30th Heavy Brigade Combat Team of the North Carolina National Guard.
"There's a lot of anxiety probably, I would say, that's building up in the preparation, and a lot of young Soldiers not knowing what to do when they go back," said Perez. "So everything has been speeding up and there's a lot to do before we get going, prior to the (conclusion) of this mission, but we'll get through it."
Throughout the deployment there had been ups and downs, good times and bad times for these Soldiers deployed to Iraq, including some interesting first time events.
"Drinking beer on Super Bowl day, first time ever," said Sgt. Jamal Davis, a native of Tuskegee, Ala., a Task Force liaison for 4th Battalion, 27th Field Artillery. "This is my first time to be able to drink during a deployment, the past two deployments we weren't able to do that, but even if it was just for one day I was able to have two beers," he said with a smile.
"This is my third deployment, the first two all I did was patrol and go out into the operational environment and door kicking and all that," said Davis. "But this time, going from that to working in the tactical operations center, it's kind of like culture shock for a guy who's never done it before. But working with the staff, actually being able to brief the brigade commander on what my task force is doing is another good thing that I'll always remember."
Although some times were good, there was always the other side of the coin, and by far the hardest for the whole brigade was when a Soldier was killed in action.
"The biggest memory, and it's not a good one, is when we lost a gunner (Cpl. Tony Gonzales) on an MRAP I was on to an EFP (explosively formed projectile)," said Niehuus. "He was a good friend. He was in our platoon. He was a good guy all-around who would help you out when he could," said Niehuus somberly. However, Niehuus and his fellow Soldiers were able to make it through even the dark times of the deployment through sticking together, and staying strong as a team.
"It was hard, but we had great leadership who helped us channel our anger and our fear, so to say, in a positive way, and give us extra motivation to get out there and find the guys who were planting those things and get them off the streets," said Niehuus.
Through good times, and bad, the Soldiers of the Iron Brigade did their best and remained vigilant throughout their deployment, doing what they could to stay Army strong.
"I think the only thing I could say is that it's all what you make of it over here," said Niehuus. "If you're thinking it's horrible then you're going to be horrible and miserable, but if you have a chain-of-command that really cares like ours did, and that helps you out and makes things better for you when they can, [it helps a lot] but it's all what you make of it."
After more than a year of around the clock operations, the closeness of home and the comforts it brings is something that Iron Brigade Soldiers can almost taste.
"I'll be honest, the number one thing I miss is the weekends," said Davis with a laugh. "Being able to take two days off and just have it down and relax. Yeah, we get four hours off on Sunday, but we work seven days a week, so just being able to have time to relax and chill is what I miss the most," said Davis.
With leave forms beginning to pile up on the desks of company commanders everywhere, the Soldiers whose minds have been mission-focused for over a year, are now beginning to think of home more than ever.
"I'm looking forward to spending time with my wife, and my daughter, she was born while I was out here so it'll be good to get to know her," said Niehuss. "Just relaxing and taking it easy and I'd like to do some travelling around Europe."

I recently switched from DSL to cable Internet. I have a 2Wire 2701HG-B modem/wireless router that I would like to use as just a wireless router.
I tried hooking up the cable modem directly to the Ethernet port of the PC, then turning on the 2Wire, but as soon as I did, it "took over" and I could no longer connect to the Internet.
Is there a way to disable the modem and just use it as a router?

We are from Saskatoon Saskatchewan. We are moving our daughter to Vancouver to attend Blanche McDonald to pursue fashion merchandising. We have four children and this is our baby girl that we are giving wings to. We will be helping her look for a place of her own so if you have any suggestions where we could start, that would be wonderful. She will be living on student loans, so she is looking for something around $900 ish. She is quite happy to find a studio apartment, as she is also an artist and painting is her passion.

Claims-based identity is a simple but powerful way of handling identity and access for your web sites and web services, whether you work on-premises or you are targeting the cloud. You can create more secure applications by reducing custom implementations and using a single simplified identity model based on claims.
Windows Identity Foundation (WIF) is a set of .NET Framework classes. It is a framework for implementing claims-based identity in your applications.
Node.js at its root is a command line tool that lets developers run JavaScript programs by typing node my_app.js.
Node provides a JavaScript application programming interface (API) for accessing the network and file system. It works well to develop scalable networked programs where low response times and high concurrency are important.
As with any technology, it's good to understand where the technology has strengths and where it shines.

Why Has Left Always Attacked and Attempted to Dismantle the Family?
Satan must gather all of his resources and put them in one basket so that when the day comes to prove that he will become like the Most High, he will not prevail. In fact, it will take one world from the returning Lord Jesus to vanquish him and there will be not one thing that Satan can do about it.
Satan is a defeated foe (from the cross), yet he continues to maneuver global society toward the day when he will have absolute control. He will use that to try to overcome God Almighty. This is the epitome of ego. Satan so loves himself that he takes everything he can in order to attempt to overcome the God who so loves us that He GAVE so that we might live.
Satan offers nothing but misery and an eternal death, separated from God forever. But that is really beside the point for Satan. His one goal, his mania, everything he is about and strives for is to become like the Most High so that he will be able to overcome God Himself.
Globalists Push Socialism While Distracting Us with Issues
Have you heard this one? "Jews run the world" and by "Jews," people normally mean "Israel." For these anti-Semites, "Jews" and "Israel" are synonymous. One reader, after reading through two articles on this site, simply stated, "We are slaves to Israel." I'm sure she believes it. In fact, not long ago, I wrote a book about the method used by Anti-Zionists to foist blame for all the world's ills onto Israel. That book – Anti-Zionism's Vitriolic Allegations – clearly delineates the caustic untruths and claims used by those opposed to Israel's statehood.
A Plan Decades in the Making is Coming to Fruition Now
While it is obvious that the immigration crisis is contributing to a "planned collapse" or our country, it is not the only event put in motion to accomplish this goal. As the nation awakens to the danger that "Common Core" education represents, they would do themselves well by realizing that this is the final push of an education curriculum a century in the making. Again, it all goes back to the ideas of Marx and the teachings of Gramsci. Antonio Gramsci taught that America would only accept socialism incrementally and in order to implement incremental change, the institutions must be infiltrated by "Change agents."
Lies, Lies, and More Lies from the Clintons and the Obamas
It was roughly five to six weeks later that Hillary appeared on Capitol Hill to testify regarding Benghazi. It was the same event where hear words – "What difference at this point does it make?" – were stated with her arms gesticulating to Senator Ron Johnson. This outburst of temper was something that she had tried to overcome. For years, she had tried to paint herself as a tried-and-true professional, who was calm in adversity and able to remain clear and level headed in spite of the storm that might be spinning around her.
IMF, SDRs, a New Global Reserve Currency, and America's Coming Financial Collapse
With countries like China and Russia beginning to look beyond the U.S. dollar as the world's reserve currency, the devastation may occur sooner rather than later. As David Risselada points out in one of his recent articles, the U.S. dollar became the world's reserve currency when Nixon (representing our federal government during his presidency) made a deal with the Saudis so that all of their oil had to be purchased with U.S. dollars. That meant that before anyone could buy oil from the Saudis, their own currency had to be converted into dollars. This kept the U.S. dollar in circulation, but instead of being backed by gold as it had been, it was not backed by oil. This is why the dollar came to be known as the "petro-dollar." In exchange for this, the U.S. promised to protect Saudi Arabia and Saudi Arabian interests.
Did You Know You're Too "Small-Minded" to Govern Your Own Affairs?
What should concern most Americans is the fact that President Obama spoke of an "international order" that has been in the works for decades. He also spoke of the need for individuals to "surrendering our rights to an all-powerful sovereign." For Americans, these remarks immediately call to mind the dictates of tyrannical dictatorships and form huge red flags. We know what others like Rockefeller, Kissinger, both George Bushes, and too many others to list here, have also called for an international order, or a new world order.
Lies Are Quickly Being Accepted as Truth in Today's Society
The problem is, that in today's world, people use every excuse to explain away terrible tragedies and deadly deeds. Lately, we've been hearing a good deal about so-called "white privilege" as the reason at least some bad things happen. A professor at Rutgers and contributing editor at Salon.com blamed the Eliot Rodgers' killing spree on white privilege. Even after reading her explanation, I'm not sure how the idea of alleged white privilege has anything to do with the recent killings.

Dr White was very courteous and did try to figure out what was the problem with me. My issue is his office staff. No one greets you when you walk into the clinic in New Braunfels, and then if you forget to write your co-pay, the blond skinny bimbo office worker acts rude and snide. If he gets rid of her, that in itself will earn a better rating.
Dr. White is not concerned about you as a patient. He is interested in getting you in and out as quickly a possible. He tries to prescribe drugs that he cannot even pronounce which is a concern to me because....well this is his PROFESSION. He had to be reminded to read my wife's records as he was attempting to prescribe a drug that she had previously stated allergic reaction to. This seemed to annoy him to the point that he preferred not to prescribe anything but instead refer us to a pain management specialist. So we went.. but wouldn't you know it Dr. White did not forward any of the records to so we went for nothing. We called his office and they said they would get back to us ASAP.....STILL WAITING. I do not recommend this doctor.
Dr. White and his staff came to my rescue. I had been to three other doctors to no avail. Dr. White diagnosed PMR and ordered a treatment. For the first time in weeks I am able to move and do basic things.I had a question the following day and his staff contacted Dr. White and got back to me immediately with clarification.Outstanding overall knowledge, service and a caring group of people.
Very pleasant personality but I found him to be insenitive and did not listen well. He seemed to have his own agenda but did not initially follow up on reason for being referred. Not responsive to my time of real pain and need. Very disappointed.
Had the nurse try an hang up on me as I was asking questions in regards to my refill. Very unorganized. The doctor himself is great if you can get over the rudeness of his staff and their organizational skills
I found the office staff to be very courteous, helpful and professional on each visit. Average wait was about 15 mins. Dr White was caring, helpful and gave an official diagnosis others didn't. I would recommend to friends.
phoned to speak with nurse and NEVER returned call. Tried for two weeks - called each day.

We're big pizza fans.
But who isn't?!
When I saw that this month's Recipe Redux topic was to celebrate another ReDuxer, I knew immediately I was going with the pesto flatbread from the walnut round up.
At least once a week some form of pizza happens in my house. Vegas would eat if for every meal if I let her! Pizza, flatbread… same difference, no? I added my own #strangebutgood twist by making it a Walnut Pesto & Shrimp Cauliflower Crust Flatbread.

Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
BioFocus, the service division of Galapagos, has entered a three-year collaboration with Biogen Idec where it will use its SilenceSelect® platform and human skin models to deliver new assays and identify validated, disease-modifying targets in scleroderma to the biotech firm.
BioFocus will receive an up-front payment, FTE funding, and will be eligible to receive success payments for the target discovery milestones it delivers, and also for development milestones achieved by Biogen Idec. The firms say the total value of this collaboration could reach $31 million.
"We believe Galapagos has unique expertise with relevant human primary cells, positioning them well to find new targets for disease-modifying therapies against scleroderma," said Jo Viney, vp of discovery sciences at Biogen Idec.
According to BioFocus, its SilenceSelect collection consists of up to 17,000 shRNAs that can be used to knock down over 5,000 different human druggable targets. These 5,000 genes, the firm says, represent more than 11,000 transcript variants.
