If the carpets in your home are dirty, stained, or merely unappealing next to the rest of your decor, carpet cleaning is likely your best option. While many people believe it to be a hassle to hire a professional carpet cleaner, it's a painless process. Better yet, a professional is likely capable of eliminating old stains that you gave up on long ago!
The first step in making your carpets vibrant again is to hire the correct professionals to handle the job. Follow the guidelines below to make sure you hire a carpet cleaning service that will do the job right:
1. Select A Carpet Cleaner With A Strong Guarantee
Most professional carpet cleaners guarantee their work for a certain amount of time, during which you can call them to fix any mishaps at no additional charge. Any contractor without such a guarantee is unlikely to be one you want to do business with.
If you're unsatisfied with the work performed, use your guarantee! Everybody is entitled to an off day, but two in a row is a strong indication that you did not hire the right carpet cleaner.
2. Choose A Trustworthy Carpet Cleaner
The first step here is to ask for a carpet cleaner's license and insurance. If they lack either, turn them away.
You should also inquire about any given company's hiring practices. You do not want a criminal or thief in your home, do you? Most professional carpet cleaning services perform background checks to prevent this from happening and are happy to disclose their methods if asked. Anybody who isn't willing to give you such information should probably be eliminated from your search.
The representatives you speak with on the phone are likely a strong indication of the type of people you will be allowing into your home, so listen to somebody honest and trustworthy. If you get a terrible feeling after talking to someone and you're not sure why you do not need to figure it out before scratching them off of your list. There are plenty of carpet cleaning services out there, and that one is likely not the fit you are looking for.
Finally, seek out reviews to determine the level of service you can expect. Online reviews are an excellent first step since you can quickly gather them for every company in your local area, but personal recommendations from friends and family are often even more reliable. If nobody in your immediate social circle uses professional carpet cleaning services, try coworkers, your doctor, a receptionist, or anybody else's opinion you would hold in high regard. Just don't try asking random strangers you may not be able to trust.
3. Prep Your Carpets
A professional carpet cleaner is likely to use commercial-grade cleaning products you may not personally have access to, but this does not mean that you are entirely off the hook. Dirt particles can obstruct these premium cleaners from working as intended, so make sure the carpet to be cleaned is vacuumed beforehand. Some carpet cleaners start with this service, so there is no harm in asking your technician if it will be provided before you do it yourself.
Carpet cleaning can also damage your carpet, mainly if it includes multiple different colors or is constructed of sensitive material such as wool or silk. To ensure that your carpeting remains unscathed, you should ask your technician to perform a test cleaning in an inconspicuous area 24 hours before the bulk of the work is performed. Alternatively, you may be able to handle the test yourself if you know precisely what your technicians will use.
4. Get And Understand Price Quotes
It often pays to shop around for a carpet cleaner to make sure that you are not getting ripped off, but the process only works if you understand what the companies are quoting you. Some carpet cleaners charge by the room, leaving open what room is until the final bill is in your hands. The best carpet cleaners charge a set rate per square foot, removing all ambiguity from the equation.
Companies that charge the room are excellent if they make clear exactly what they are charging you. For example, if your living room is twice the size of an average room, your carpet cleaner should be completely upfront and say that they are counting the space as two rooms. Only an unscrupulous contractor would wait until the work is performed to break this information to you.
You should also be aware of any up-charges or fees, especially those associated with a service that is usually complementary such as furniture removal or preconditioning.
5. Ask About Upholstery Cleaning
If your furniture is just as dirty as your carpeting, it may make sense to get it cleaned at the same time your carpets are. Most carpet cleaners offer both services, making the entire process cheaper and more efficient if you combine the two.
Technology is not the most critical consideration for either carpet cleaning or upholstery cleaning, so beware of any company that stresses technological innovation in its sales pitch. The operator's skill and knowledge are far more important than the latest gizmo, and these can be challenging to build up if a company regularly "upgrades" its equipment.
Armed with the five guidelines above, you are now equipped to select the perfect carpet cleaner for your needs. Enjoy your reinvigorated living space!

Lapalux "Time Spike Jamz"
Taking a step back from its work on the dancefloors of the world, UK label Pictures Music branches out from releasing high-tempo bass music with a new EP from Essex-based producer Stuart Howard (a.k.a. Lapalux). The 22-year-old artist seems to prefer crafting chopped rhythms, slow-moving bass grooves, sporadic sample flurries, and other handmade audio treats, as opposed to the kinds of slick club burners we're used to hearing from his new label home—and that's just fine with us. Like on the fractured sounds of "Time Spike Jamz," Lapalux's formula exposes the bones of his productions, allowing the listener a chance to see the many ideas that float and flutter about inside his musical mind, but not without leaving us with a fully formed jam before the track's end. Expect more of those revealing sounds when Howard's Many Faces Out of Focus drops as limited-edition cassette and digital download on April 18.

Arthington - Leeds District - West Yorkshire
Great Britain 1:50 000 Scale Colour Raster Mapping Extracts © Crown copyright Ordnance Survey. All Rights Reserved. Educational licence 100045616.
Arthington, Leeds District, West Yorkshire
IntroductionThis is the fourth in my series of articles about civil parishes. Initially this is a study based on maps and whatever information can be gathered from books and websites, illustrated by Geograph photographs. I have not cluttered the text with credits, as the photographer's name (and also the image title) can be seen when the cursor hovers over the thumbnail. Eventually I hope to explore the parish, find more information and take many more photographs. Meanwhile I hope that others might do the same.
NotesMaps consulted:
- Thomas Jefferys's map of Yorkshire at 1/mile, published in 1775
- The OS 6/mile map that can be seen on Link ('the 1851 map')
- The OS 2nd series 1:25000 map SE24/34 published in 1974 (surveyed 1953 to 1965) ('mid-20C map')
- The OS 'Explorer' 1:25000 map Sheet 289.
For a map showing the boundary of Arthington see Link. I have shown the 20C boundary in violet and the boundary of the hamlet of West Brearey in magenta. Part of West Brearey was transferred to Bramhope CP at some time after 1851, perhaps when civil parishes were formed in 1866. East Brearey was a hamlet of Adel cum Eccup township. This article includes only the part of West Brearey that is in the modern civil parish of Arthington.
Architectural information is for listed buildings is from the ImagesofEngland website. Links to the latter are provided where there is a photograph that does not duplicate one on the geograph site. These are identified by 'IoE link'.
HistoryArthington was listed in Domesday Book, held by Richard de Surdeval from the Count of Mortain.
It was divided into smaller holdings at an early date. West Breary was a hamlet (but see note 2 above), and Creskeld might have been, as it was a separate manor described as a vill in the 13C and in the 15C. There were two forges in the park of Creskeld in 1352, but in Pool township; Pool and Creskeld manors were in the same ownership in 1508, so the park might have extended over the township boundary. In a later agreement of 1395 permission was given to use trees in Creskeld Wood, presumably for the making of charcoal as fuel for the forges, and a channel was to be made to convey water to a water-wheel. (Faull and Moorhouse 1981). It would seem likely that the forge was adjacent to the watercourse that runs along the parish boundary to the west of Creskeld Hall. The 1851 map gives Kirkskil instead of Creskeld, and Jefferys's map shows 'Kers Kilns'. Could this name be from 'kilns' meaning furnaces?
Arthington was a township of the ancient parish of Adel, in Skyrack wapentake. It became a civil parish in the West Riding of Yorkshire in 1866, and part of Leeds Metropolitan District (in West Yorkshire) in 1974.
GeographyArthington consists of the south side of Wharfedale between the civil parishes of Pool and Harewood. The underlying rock of the Millstone Grit series, which is quarried at Arthington Bank and Black Hill, the latter in West Brearey. There are large areas of flat farmland on the alluvium beside the river; some of this is washland, and subject to periodic flooding. There might once have been a lake here, dammed by a moraine following the last glacial period.
The A659 road from Otley to Tadcaster forms the spine of the road system, following the river on the south side. The village is not nucleated, but is strung out along the main road. The Leeds to Harrogate railway cuts across the valley at right-angles, joined by the abandoned branch to Otley, which continued to Burley-in-Wharfedale where it joined the Bradford to Ilkley line.
The population in 2001 was 561.

Creskeld Lane climbs to Bramhope, and from it at SE257437 a bridleway leads westwards down into a valley, along the northern side of Coats's Wood. There are boundary stones on the eastern bank of the stream, in Long Baulk Wood The bridleway led to the former Bramhope Corn Mill, just over the boundary.
At SE259436 another bridleway goes eastwards to Arthington Bank Top; here also is the driveway to Wood Top Farm. The 1:10000 map does not show a track along the central part of the bridleway, so perhaps it is just an 'invisible' route across pasture like many field paths. Past this point we enter the hamlet of West Breary, still in Arthington although the surburban development is contiguous with the built-up area of Bramhope.
At SE257432 Creskeld Drive is a suburban road within the old territory of West Breary, and at SE257431 Creskeld Lane reaches the Arthington / Bramhope boundary at Breary Lane.
The A649, Arthington Lane, was part of the medieval road from York to Otley, important because the manor of Otley belonged to the Archbishop of York. A turnpike trust was formed to improve the highway from Tadcaster to Otley in 1752-3. The road has generally kept its medieval twists and turns, but at some time after Thomas Jefferys surveyed Yorkshire for his map of 1775, a new road was built from the foot of Rawden Hill to Harewood Bridge, bypassing Weardley and the Harewood estate.
At SE256448 a boundary stone marks the entry into Arthington, as the road crosses a stream.
Then at SE257448 is the entrance to Arthington House Farm.
Next, at SE258448, Arthington Garth is a late 20C development.
At SE259448 the Wharfedale Inn (formerly the Station Hotel) and the railway bridge (named Pool Bridge).
The Wharfedale Inn is opposite Station Road, which leads to the site of the former Arthington Junction Station (SE257444) which was at the southern fork of a triangular junction.
Station Road has a row of houses along it, and is a public footpath leading to Staircase Lane, Bramhope.
Creskeld Lane climbs from the A659 to Bramhope, and from it at a sharp bend at SE260439 a bridleway leads eastwards to Arthington Bank, passing along the north side of Crag Wood. The 'crag' is Har Rock, at SE263437, and it might be possible to visit it as maps show footpaths through the wood. Here is a view of Wharfedale from the path:
Here is the path near the eastern (Arthington Bank) end, and at the junction with Arthington Bank (SE269437), next to the entrance to Arthington Quarry.
There is another bridleway to the south, along a little valley. Here is the view westwards at SE263436:
From this bridleway a footpath curves round to West Beary, where at SE261433 High Ridge Farmhouse, Nos 73 and 75 Breary Lane East, was in a group of buildings named 'West Breary' on the 1851 map. It has the date 1626 in raised lettering on the lintel of a Tudor-arched former doorway on the single-storey rear wing. The house is built of coursed squared sandstone, with a slate roof with gable copings and kneelers. IoE link
At the road junction at SE261447 Creskeld Lane goes to the south and Warren Lane to the north. On the NW corner of the crossroads a chapel was shown on the mid-20C OS map.
Continuing first along Arthington Lane, the Post Office is on the north side, at SE262447, if it hasn't been closed, and at SE267447 the school is on the north side ('Parochial School' on the 1851 map). There is a driveway to Mill Farm (at SE 268 450), shown as 'Arthington Mills (Corn)' on the 1851 map. This is a view of Mill Farm from Arthington Lane:
At SE269446 on the south side of Arthington Lane, Crag View and Ivy Cottage, Holme View, are a pair of cottages, built of coursed squared sandstone with quoins and a stone slate roof, as an eye-catcher, in the 19C. The central two-storey part is Crag View, and the wings are single-storey with screen walls at first-floor level, topped by an open pediment and battlements. IoE link. A row of six cottages, Nos. 5 to 10, was built in the early to mid-19C of coursed squared sandstone with quoins and dressings of the same, and a Welsh slate roof. All have a wide recessed arch at first-floor level, merging into the eaves. The row of cottages was originally symmetrical, with the ones next to the end slightly recessed, but No.5 on the right has been extended in a similar style, but without the blank arch.
IoE link
Up Creskeld Lane at SE261446 there were buildings in 1851, and an 'engine' by the stream.
Creskeld Grange Farmhouse, SE261445, was built after 1851.
At SE259443 Creskeld Hall is a large house on the west side of the lane. It was mostly built in the 19C, but the kitchen wing and the chapel may be late medieval in origin, although much altered. The house is set around a small courtyard with the kitchen wing forming the west range and the former chapel, converted to a billiard room, the north range, which also has a 19C two-storey porch in Jacobean style. Former chapel, altered as a billiard room and now of less interest. In 1240 Hugo de Creskeld granted the manor to the Abbots of Kirkstall, which is why it was called 'Kirkskill Hall' on the 1851 map. There is part of a moat behind the house.
The former settlement of Creskeld was at Hassocks, SE261443, north of Hezicar Wood. The mid-20C map shows a roadside well here. Then the climb up to Bramhope becomes steeper.
Along Warren Lane, at SE261448 a row of houses has been built on the west side. The lane was called Sandbed lane in 1851, Sand Bed being the name of the field within the meander of the river.
At SE262449 Warren Farm is on the east side. The farmhouse was rebuilt in the early 18C. The front is of this period, with a doorway not quite centrally placed with a circular window above and a window on each side on each floor. It is built of coursed sandstone with quoins, with a Welsh slate roof. At one side there is a lintel with the date 1623 and initials W.M. At the rear there are mullioned windows, possibly of the 17C. There is a barn with attached stable adjacent to the house.
At SE262453 there is a water pumping station on the east side. The wagon house, now used as a store, is an unusually complete survival. It was probably built in the later 19C (after 1851), of red brick in Jacobean style, with sandstone dressings and a slate roof. It has a two-span roof with a wagon doorway under each gable. Link
At SE262454 the lane turns to the west, under the Wharfedale Railway Viaduct. This carries the Leeds to Thirsk Railway over the River Wharfe, and was built of sandstone blocks in 1845-9. The Engineer was Thomas Grainger. There are twenty semicircular arches carried on very high rectangular piers, following a line curving towards the north-east. The piers have rounded-nose cutwaters, and the arches have rusticated stepped voussoirs.
The lane originally led to Castley Ford, across the River Wharfe, but now stops at the gateway to the sewage works. Here is the view from the viaduct. There is a long straight bank; is it a flood bank or does it contain the sewer (or both)?
From Black Hill Road, above the quarry at SE270434, a bridleway leads westwards to Creskeld Lane.
At SE272433 Bank Top Farm hides behind a screen of trees alongside the road. It is shown on the 1851 map, and the lane curved to the south around it just as it does today.
Here is the entrance to the farm and the road at the entrance.
Bank Top Lane goes past the farm and diagonally down the hillside past Bank Side, where it becomes Allums Lane, to Bedlam Lane. It has become part of a long-distance footpath called the Ebor Way. Here is the lane near Bank Top Farm:
Entering the square from the west along Arthington Lane (A659), the village hall has built into a wall a disused VR postbox that was formerly opposite the church.
Black Hill Road leaves Arthington Lane southwards from SE273446. The term 'Road' rather than 'Lane' and the straightness of Black Hill Road as it climbs the hillside suggest that it might have been set out as part of an enclosure award. At Bank Foot Farm, SE272441, the road turns abruptly to the south-west in order to reduce the gradient. This steep hill is called Arthington Bank.
Arthington Hall, SE273449, is a country house, which is mostly an early to mid-18C rebuilding of an earlier house, altered again and extended in the later 19C (designed by Waterhouse). Built of coursed dressed sandstone, with a slate roof. The main block is a rectangular range of nine by five bays, in Classical style. A balustraded parapet is carried round the block. The former porch has been replaced with a conservatory, with ashlar pilasters separating very large windows which fill each bay. The west front has two additional parts to the rear, the first of one storey with a large bay-window, and dormer windows lighting the roof space. The second addition is of two storeys with a balustrade matching that of the main block. Inside there is an oval stairwell with an unusual wooden 'flying staircase' mounting in two flights and returning in one. The third photograph is of the rear of the house.
There are a few interesting features in the grounds: an 18C stone dog kennel, c.50m SE of Arthington Hall. This is built of stone slabs, on a plain plinth, with a slab roof; it has a round-headed doorway in the south end.
The former 18C stable block is c.50m east of Arthington Hall, and is now a house. This is of two storeys and seven bays, with a pedimented three-bay centre projecting forwards slightly.
The ha-ha to the east of the east drive to Arthington Hall is also probably 18C. This is a low retaining wall of dry-jointed coursed squared sandstone, with a flat coping. Ha-has keep the cattle out of the garden without obstructing the view.
IoE link
On the south side, of Arthington Lane (A659) at SE274446, The Grange (Arthington Grange on the 1851 map) was built in the mid to later 18C, with a 19C addition at the rear. It is of three storeys, built of coursed squared sandstone with quoins and a stone slate roof with prominent kneelers at the ends of the coping.
IoE link
There is a (probably) 18C cold store c.20m south of "The Grange" This has sandstone walls and a turf roof, and is built into a bank. It has a plain doorway with a rectangular lintel, and an arch-vaulted roof inside.
Continuing along Arthington Lane, at SE275447 on the north side, just before the church, the house on the left was called 'Old Bedlam' on the 1851 map. ('New Bedlam' is at SE288431).
At SE276446 on the south side, St. Peter's Church was built in 1864, designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott (Pevsner and Radcliffe 1967). It is built of rock-faced sandstone, in the Gothic style, with a slate roof. It has a nave with a north-west tower topped by a short spire, north and south transepts, and a chancel. Inside are various brass wall monuments to members of the Sheepshanks family of Arthington Hall; the first vicar was Thomas Sheepshanks. The church has one bell hung for full circle ringing. It is dated 1864, is 29 in dia., weighs 5cwt and its pitch is E-flat. There is a two-train clock by Potts of Leeds, 1910, which drives a single dial on the north side of the tower. It strikes the bell on the hour with a side-hammer. bell link
The vicarage is behind the church, and across the road on the north side there is a cricket ground.
At SE279447 Holt Farm on the north side of Arthington Lane, and Ingfield Farm is on the south side at SE280446. These are on the 1851 map. There is a milestone 'Otley 5, Harewood 3' marked. Here is a view of the farmland:
Bedlam Lane climbs steeply southwards towards Eccup. Allums Lane is part of the Ebor Way, and climbs at a more gentle gradient to Bank Side at SE280437:
At SE282438 a track (private?) leads down to North View, in the corner of a wood called Bog Plantation. Watch out for a red kite around here:
The junction between Arthington Lane (A659) with Rawden Hill is at SE283447. Rawden Hill was part of the medieval main road, which was improved as a turnpike road in 1752-3 but superseded when a new road was constructed past The Nunnery in the 19C.
On the north side of Rawden Hill, at SE285446 just past the first bend, the 1851 map shows a well. In 1851 there was a house called Rawden Hill at SE289446 in the land to the north of the lane, now a wood. At SE288445 Hewland House Farm existed in 1851. In 1851 'New Bedlam' was where Hillside Cottages are now, at SE288441.
To the south, at SE288440 Allums Lane goes to the west from Bedlam Lane; there was a building on the north side of the lane here in 1851.
SE288451 The Nunnery is a house dated 1585, built on the site of Arthington Priory, a house of Cluniac nuns founded by Peter de Arthington c.1155. At the dissolution it was surrendered on 26 November 1540. The Nunnery incorporates some fabric of the former priory, of which there is said to be the remains of a moat. The datestone is in the spandrel of the doorway, and is also inscribed TB and IB. The house is built of coursed squared sandstone with quoins, with a stone slate roof. It has been extended at the rear by an outshot at some time, and also by central wing at the rear. The front has two storeys, with a two-storey oriel window above the doorway. Inside, to the right of the doorway, there was a spiral staircase in the thickness of the wall, which also housed the hall fireplace. The staircase might have been part of a tower of the Priory. The former through passage is indicated by massive round-headed doorways at front and rear. There are various Tudor-arched fireplaces and doorways in the house, and also moulded plaster ceilings. (Pevsner and Radcliffe 1967) (IoE) For information about the priory, see
Also IOE link
A short distance NW of The Nunnery there is a dovecote built, probably in the late 18C, of coursed squared sandstone with a stone slate roof, It is a rectangular building of three low storeys. Between two square windows on the ground floor, there is a flight of stone steps at right-angles leading to a doorway on the first floor, and above this is another doorway. At the level between these doorways there is a continuous stone ledge around the building for the birds to perch on. The south gable has a square opening (now glazed) on the second floor, with a semicircular perching ledge below it. The gable copings have scrolled ends, and there is a weathervane on the south gable.
IOE link
Past SE290444 The parish boundary is along the western side of Bedlam Hill, and Tinker Close is just in Arthington. It was built after 1851.
Along Arthington Lane (A659) at SE291450 the boundary with Harewood is reached; There is a boundary stone on the south side of the road. Nun Well, shown on the 1851 map, is at SE291451, a short distance into the field on the north side of the road, and on the west side of the field boundary.

After meeting John at a tradeshow a few weeks ago and hearing his impassioned speech about why he wrote this book and the struggles the whole family experienced, I couldn't wait to get it in front of my book club. Now that the presses are rolling, it's going to be one of our best discussions, I am sure. Great respect to you, John for writing such a difficult and personal story so that others may share, learn and take that difficult journey with you and your family.

European Health Insurance Card (EHIC)
The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) lets you get healthcare in another EU or European Economic Area (EEA) state for free, or at a reduced cost.
It covers you if you are on holiday, or on a short-term stay. Short-term stay means no longer than 3 months.
EHIC replaces the old E111 form. You need one for each member of your family. It's free and there's no charge to apply.
How to apply for an EHIC
If you have a medical or drug payment scheme card, you can apply for an EHIC online.
If you don't have a medical or drug payment scheme card, you can apply in person at your local health office or by post.
To apply by post:
- print out and fill in the application form (there's an English application form and a foirm larratais as Gaeilge).
- post it to your local health office
To apply, you'll need to give your:
- name
- address
- date of birth
- Personal Public Service Number (PPSN)
You will need to show your passport or driving licence at the office when you submit your application form.
You might be asked to show evidence of your PPSN (for example, on a P60 or social services card). You might also need to show proof that you're an Irish resident, like a rent agreement or employment contract.
The card takes about 10 working days to arrive.
If you lose your EHIC, you can't apply for a replacement online. Apply at your local EHIC office instead.
Every family member requires an EHIC.
You can make an application for yourself, your partner and any dependent children under the age of 16.
If you already have an EHIC, you must enter your own details first and apply for any additional cards when prompted.
If you are under the age of 16, a parent or guardian will need to apply for you.
If you live in Europe
If you live in another EEA country or Switzerland, you will be entitled to an Irish-issued EHIC if one of the following applies to you:
- you receive a state pension from Ireland and have an Irish-issued E Form/S1 form (certificate of entitlement) registered in your country of residence
- you are a worker posted to work in another EEA country or Switzerland by your Irish employer, or a frontier worker living in the EEA and working in Ireland
- you are a family member of a posted worker or of someone working in Ireland and you are not covered in your own right by the EEA country you reside in
You may apply online for the EHIC using the EHIC application form for Irish pensioners / insured persons resident in other EU/EEA member states.
To fill in the form you need your:
- name
- date of birth
- Personal Public Services Number (PPSN)
You will also need all the above details of any dependents you're applying for.
To apply by post:
Print out and fill in the application form for Irish pensioners / insured persons resident in other EU/EEA member states
Post it to:
EU Regulations Office,
North West Wing,
St. Joseph's Health Campus,
Mulgrave Street,
If you are not eligible for a Irish-issued EHIC, you should see if you are eligible for an EHIC in the country you are currently living in.
How to use your EHIC abroad
The European Commission website explains how to use your EHIC abroad in each eligible country.
You don't need an EHIC if you're visiting the UK. Showing proof that you're an Irish resident (for example, your passport or driving licence) is enough.
EHIC does not replace travel insurance. It only covers necessary healthcare.
Patient co-payment
In some European countries you will have to make some payment towards the cost of the health care services you receive. This is known as a patient co-payment or patient share. Residents in these countries also have to make this payment when receiving care.
Refund of payment
You can't get a refund of any patient co-payment you make. But you may be entitled to a refund if you were charged because you did not present a valid EHIC or you were charged in error by the health service provider in that country.
You can apply for a refund to your HSE local health office. You should bring any receipts you have.
We will send an E126 form to the health authorities in the country where you had treatment. This is to establish:
- if you availed of a public health service
- the level of refund that is due to you
On return of the completed E126 form from the other country, we will be able to determine if a refund is due or not.
If you have had private health care while abroad, you won't be due any refund.
How to renew your EHIC
You can renew your EHIC online if:
- your address hasn't changed
- you have your old EHIC number and your PPSN
If you don't have these numbers, or you've changed your address, contact your local EHIC office to renew.
Urgent cases
Before you travel
If you need an EHIC urgently, you can request a temporary replacement certificate online or in person at your local health office.
Temporary EHIC certificates are only valid if they are authorised by your local HSE office.
While you're away
If your card expires while you're abroad, your treating hospital will request a temporary EHIC on your behalf.
However, they may charge you if a temporary EHIC certificate cannot be arranged. This may be refunded when you return. You can apply for this through your local health office.

Good Data Management Practices for Data Analysis: Part 2, Tidy Data
Note: This post draws heavily from concepts described in an article, slide deck, and presentation by Hadley Wickham, Assistant Professor of Statistics at Rice University and Chief Scientist at RStudio. Dr. Wickham has authored over 30 packages for the R statistical computing environment, including 3 of the 5 most downloaded packages this year. If what we describe here interests you, please check out his excellent work.
We recently wrote about the two main bottlenecks in data analysis, data cleaning, and transformation, and suggested that you can improve both relatively easily. In this post, we're going to outline principles you can follow to make these tedious parts of data management less onerous so you can focus on interacting with your data in a more meaningful (and fun) way.
Data is often messy, so we need to clean it before we analyze it. Once we clean it we usually can't jump directly to visualization and statistical modeling. We first have to manipulate the clean data—restructuring, filtering, transforming, aggregating, sorting, and/or merging it with other data—so it serves our initial visualization or model. Unfortunately, all but the simplest analyses involve many rounds of visualization and modeling, some of which depend on the results of previous iterations. So, not only do we have to frequently perform time-consuming data manipulations, we can't easily predict the data structure we'll need until we see the results of previous steps in the analysis. This, in a nutshell, is why preparing and analyzing data can seem so tedious and inefficient.
What is needed is a way to store data and use our data manipulation tools that will minimize the effort involved when preparing data for visualization and statistical modeling.
Tidy Data
According to Hadley Wickham, the solution is two-fold: (1) Clean your data so you can store it in a default but versatile format; and (2) transform it for modeling and visualization using tools that both accept and produce data in this format. For the first part of the solution, Wickham suggests the following default structure:
Each variable forms a column
Each observation forms a row
Each data set contains information on only one observational unit of analysis (e.g., families, participants, participant visits)
A data set that meets these criteria is "tidy." A tidy data set is, by definition, about only one type of thing or event (observational unit) that has been observed a certain number of times (rows) using certain measurements and identifiers (variables). The first two criteria essentially define long-format or panel data, a structure that will be familiar to you if you've ever analyzed repeated-measures or longitudinal data. In that case, it might be easiest to think of tidy data as long-format data that is about only one observational unit.
Untidy Data
There are many ways data can be untidy. Wickham's top five are as follows:
Column names represent data values instead of variable names
A single column contains data on multiple variables instead of a single variable
Variables are contained in both rows and columns instead of just columns
A single table contains more than one observational unit
Data about an observational unit is spread across multiple data sets
These characteristics aren't intrinsically bad—in fact, they can help us process and digest information better than tidy data. For example, untidy formats, such as cross-tabulations and other data tables, are far better choices than tidy data for the presentation of summaries, relationships, and patterns. What makes untidy data problematic for the data analyst is when it is used as source material for future data manipulation activities.
In contrast, the virtue of tidy data lies with its versatility. Just as glass-blowers work with molten glass because it can easily be blown into different shapes, tidy data is a useful intermediate data structure for data analysis because it can easily be changed into other useful formats. All of the primary data manipulation activities—filtering, transforming, sorting, and aggregating—as well as visualization and modeling are greatly simplified when working with tidy data. This is especially true when we process tidy data with "tidy tools".
Tidy Tools
The benefits of tidy data are best realized by using tidy tools to process them. Tidy tools are those that accept, manipulate, and return tidy data, thus preserving the versatility of the tidy data structure and minimizing the need for additional data restructuring. To borrow an analogy from Wickham, the tools are like Lego blocks—individually simple but flexible and powerful in combination.
What tools are tidy? If you use the free and open source R software, check out Wickham's popular tidy data manipulation (plyr and reshape2) and visualization (ggplot2) packages; most standard modeling functions in R are tidy, too. Wickham notes SPSS and SAS also have several tidy tools for data manipulation and statistical analysis. There are simply too many tools to review them adequately here. Fortunately, though, if you've read this far, you're well-equipped to assess which of your tools are tidy by following these steps:
Create a tidy dataset for testing.
Identify the functions or macros in your favorite stats package that accomplish common data manipulation tasks, such as filtering, transforming, sorting, and aggregation.
Read the documentation.
Test your tools on the data set one at a time, documenting whether each works with tidy data and produces tidy data. If it fails on either criterion, it's not a tidy tool.
Repeat the above steps for your favorite visualization and statistical modeling tools.
This exercise will give you not only a deeper understanding of how your tools work—it may also help you discover tidier alternatives to the tools you use now.
Tidy data has a lot in common with the storage of data in relational databases. Relational databases require a greater up-front investment of resources but can greatly improve your data management capabilities.

Wireless Access Point - Standard District Configuration
ABC Unified has adopted NEW wireless access point standards for all schools.
Standard Wireless Access Point
This cost includes tax, shipping and the associated costs for the hardware required to centrally manage all your school's new AP's. This will make your wireless network remotely supportable via our IT staff.
Supporting Documentation
by IT Support Technician - Joey Machado
1. Background Problem
Without a standard for wireless access points, the district has accumulated a vast array of wireless devices with inconsistent and sometimes insecure configurations. To allow for faster installation and troubleshooting by the IT staff, consistency of wireless hardware is needed. Additionally, there is a need for better wireless security by ensuring that all wireless networks are password protected and that rogue devices can be detected.
2. Solution
The standard wireless access point system is the D-Link XStack Series of Wireless Switches and Access Points. The D-Link system meets the district's needs and is more cost effective than comparable systems.
3. System Components included within the $282 / AP
a. Wireless Switch (DWS-3227) Need 1 per 50 Access Points.
b. Wireless Switch License Upgrade (DS-750) Need 1 per switch
c. Access Point ( DWL-2230AP)
4. System Layout
The Wireless Switches (DWS-3227) are placed at the District Office.
The Access Points (AP) are placed where they are needed at the school sites and connect to the district's Wireless Switches through the existing district network infrastructure. The IT staff will perform site surveys to determine best placements and number of required AP devices.
After installation, the IT staff will create wireless site maps containing the location of each access point at a site for future troubleshooting.
5. System Highlights
a. Centralized Management - All the access points can be controlled from the switch's interface by district IT staff.
b Consistent Settings - All access points can be easily configured with the same settings and configuration changes only need to be made once for all access points.
c. Enhanced Security - If an access point is maliciously reset, it does not open up the network like most other access points would do. Additionally, the access points are not functional without a switch, which makes them less vulnerable to theft
6. Estimated Installation and Configuration Time
For each access point = 1 hour

Samsung Serif TV, by Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec
Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec have designed the new Serif TV for Samsung, which the company says "does not belong to the world of technology by to the world of furniture and design".
Samsung says the new TV "breaks away from the preoccupation with ultra-flat screens".
In profile, the TV forms an "l" shape, with its body forming a shelf-like surface at the top, while it can also rest on its own base.

Yesterday the Commerce Department reported that the US economy shrank one percent in 2014's first quarter, surprisingly worse than its initial estimate in late April of .1 percent growth. Most people blame the brutal "polar vortex" winter weather for this decline. All morning, the talking heads on CNBC have been excitedly predicting that, with the weather improving, second quarter growth will rebound to two or even possibly three to four percent. The recovery, they say, is accelerating. To which I would reply: you call this a recovery?

i've been working on the railroad
When I seek new investments for my $100 million fund, I often research companies that benefit from secular changes, large shifts in society and business. Three epic secular shifts happening right now are: the rapid adoption of cloud computing platforms, the tidal wave of growth in Texas (almost a million people a year are moving to that state), and America's booming energy renaissance. The last change is particularly breathtaking. We're pulling up almost nine million barrels of oil a day now in this country. That's almost double the amount we extracted ten years ago. Natural gas production is way up as well, causing some analysts to predict America will be a net exporter of fossil fuels sometime in the next decade.
This growth in domestic oil and gas production is obviously good for energy companies. But how those fossil fuels get from the ground to the gas pump will strongly benefit one, very old-school mode of transportation: railroads. That's why one of my favorite stocks these days is Trinity Industries' (TRN). Its products were last considered "high tech" in the 19th century. But they're going to make the company a ton of money here in the 21st.

2 Chronicles 30:8 (KJV) says, "Now be ye not stiff-necked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves unto the Lord, and enter into his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified for ever: and serve the Lord your God, that the fierceness of his wrath may turn from you."
If we are totally sold out to the Lord we will not see His wrath. Our Heavenly Father loved us so much that He sent Jesus to die for us. But if we are stiff-necked we allow the enemy to control us.
Hezekiah was a king dedicated to God and to the spiritual progress of the nation. He told them not to be stubborn but to submit to the Lord. His Holy Spirit must guide and renew every part of us.
Rather than letting God guide them step-by-step, they stubbornly leave God. God rather guide us with love and wisdom than allowing us to walk off without His protection. Accept God's written Word and don't let your stubbornness keep you from obeying God. (Psalm 32:9)
Lifting up the horn apparently described a stubborn animal who kept itself from entering a yoke by holding its head up as high as possible. It symbolizes insolence or rebellion. (Psalm 75:4) Disobedient and rebellious children were to be brought before the elders of the city and stoned to death. The point was that disobedience and rebellion were not to be tolerated in the home or allowed to continue unchecked. Firm guidance may be needed with strong consequences for disobedient. (Deuteronomy 21:18-20)
Proverbs 1:24 (KJV) says, "Because I have called, and ye refused: I have stretched out my hands, and no man regarded."
God is willing to pour out His heart and make known His thoughts for us. We must be willing to listen and refuse to let pride stand in the way. God deserves our respect.
Warnings rarely come with countdowns. When we refuse to consider God's valid criticism, we leave ourselves open to sudden disaster. Increasing obstinacies with an unreachable spirit. (Proverbs 29:1)
2 Kings 17:14 (KJV) says, "Notwithstanding they would not hear, but hardened their necks, like to the necks of their fathers, that did not believe in the Lord their God."
The people took on the characteristics of the idols. Israel had forgotten the importance and benefits of obeying God's Word. God will pursue us until we either respond to Him or, by our own choice and hardness of heart, make ourselves unreachable. God's judgment is swift and sure. Turn back to God before your stubbornness puts you out of His reach.
God accepts nothing but honesty. Being dishonest will close the door to God. God tries to correct us but we refuse to hear Him and repent. (Jeremiah 5:3)
When we are on our own, the pressure to be drawn away from God increases. Determine to be faithful to God despite the difficult situations you encounter.(Judges 2:19)
Jeremiah 32:33 (KJV) says, "And they have turned unto me the back, and not the face: though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet the have not hearkened to receive instruction."
If all stubbornness is put away, a spirit of love and genuine concern for others will prevail. Stubbornness has no place in the Child of God.

Aimee Bender vet hur man gör:
"There was an imp that went to high school with stilts on so that no one would know he was an imp. Of course he never wore shorts. […] One thing he didn't know was that there was a mermaid at the school; she was a sophomore as well. She wore long skirts that swept the floor and one large boot covering her tail and she used a crutch, pretending like her second leg, which of course didn't exist, was hurt."

Math Reference Sheet
I will be putting these in my math area by the TIMER Tubs so the students can always grab one to refer to when they are stuck. I was nervous that the font would be too small and unreadable but it turned out perfect!

So, did you hear that someone had a baby boy yesterday?!
I am not very interested in the royal family, but I am curious to see what Prince William and Princess Kate will name their new son. What do you think they will choose? My money's on Jayden. 😉
Some days, I think maybe I became a parent not just for the naming privileges, but also for the costumes.
My niece had a 50s themed birthday party. So I thought, why not have fun with it?
In other news, I am already buying the new back pack and lunch bag and uniform skirts and school supplies. Trying to chip away at the back-to-school purchases, now that we're one month away. When do you start preparing for the inevitable return?
Also, yesterday DD asked me if I had any boyfriends before I met DH. Then she proceeded to pepper me with questions about why I broke up with them. I found it all amusing and tried to keep it simple: because they didn't make me happy. And I told her DH did and still does make me happy. I am curious to see when or if she will ask DH about his romantic history. 😆
What's on your mind today? Chat away!

Fine art: Once upon a time
Once upon a time, the first series from Labyrinth inside the mirror.
After the Grimm Brothers, Hans Christian Andersen, Charles Perrault, and so many others who created stories and tales, and transmitted them from one generation to another, the pill needed some sugar. It was time to transform such originally harsh and gruesome stories into fairy tales with happy endings, beautiful princesses and brave princes. In these stories, time seemed to freeze when the moment for "…and they lived happily ever after. The end." arrived.
How many of us dreamed with the sugared pill!
I have chosen twenty-one characters from stories and tales and made them travel in time. What would have happened to Pinocchio years later, would he have become a good boy? Would have lies filled his life? And what about Snow White over the years? Could have Blue Beard slept peacefully with so many homicides in his mind? Did Sleeping Beauty finally wake up? What has happened to all of us now that we are adult Pinocchios, grown Little Red Riding Hoods, aged faeries, princes that continue waiting for the princess's awakening? Have we changed in time or made of our childhood wiles our way of life...?
These are classic tales, family stories which we have listened since our childhood. How can I not mention Carl Jung while dealing with the collective unconscious throughout this series? Each character has been photographed as an archetype ...years later.

If you break even, you don't make any money, but you don't lose any either.
There is neither profit or loss.
The point at which gains equals losses.
1. In business, you must know your break even point when it comes to profitability.
2. I need to make $300 to break even with this game of Black Jack.
3. Given the current economy, we're lucky to be at a break even point.
4. I went to the casino with $500 but lost all of it in Blackjack. I need to break even or it will bother me for days!

So you were a good Do-Bee and showed up to board your flight the recommended two hours prior to scheduled departure (or three hours if it is an international flight), you flew through airport security and now you find yourself at the boarding gate staring at the minute hand on your watch. What to do? Myself, I have a little preflight ritual that helps pass the time that I quite enjoy. I hit the shops! No, I am not advising you to go on a shopping spree. These days where the only real estate in the country being snatched up is the space in the overhead compartment above your seat, this kind of move could be detrimental to your in-flight well being. Once fellow passengers catch you stuffing bags into their storage territory, um, you're on your own. (Many shops will assist you in arranging for bulky items to be delivered to a destination or to be collected from a designated kiosk upon returning from your trip, but to err on the side of simplicity, I'm going to list smaller and more essential airport buys.)
When the aircraft reaches a cruising altitude of about 35,000 feet, your ears will thank you for this purchase. You will also feel confident striking up a conversation with those seated next to you because your breath smells minty fresh. (If you typically experience ear pain due to air pressure changes when flying, consult your doctor for other alternatives that aid in alleviating this type of discomfort before you travel.)
Books & Magazines
A trip to the airport bookstore is an absolute must for me. I look forward to this shopping experience, and I do not worry about which books are supposedly on a best sellers list beforehand. The shops already stock their shelves with top reads, and I like to take a bit of time perusing the book jacket blurbs in search of a novel that piques my interest. For good measure, I normally pick up a magazine as well. Oh, and when everyone else is being instructed to turn off their electronic devices, this good old paper standby won't let you down.
Healthy Meal To Go
Yes, you could pack a little something from home to eat in flight, but beware of liquid regulations and be prepared to potentially slow down the line at the security check point. Short flights may not offer their passengers anything more than ¬Ω an ounce of peanuts or sell an expensive box of junk food. I like to grab a sandwich to munch on during the flight. (If flying internationally, do know that you may not be permitted to bring certain foods into another country. You may have to part with produce, meat, and other possible edibles at the customs counter). I would not suggest buying a large beverage prior to boarding either. Most airlines will serve a complementary small drink, and do you really want to squeeze past the person seated by your side to use the phone booth sized restroom mid-flight?
I actually look forward spending some time meandering through the terminal in search of these things before boarding an aircraft. For me, this makes having to arrive at the airport early worth the slight inconvenience. These items are relatively inexpensive and will not take up much space in your carry-on. While waiting to board your next flights to Paris or Amsterdam, add a little shopping to your pre-departure routine.

Something very special happened on Thursday, April 7, 2017.
LeMer Bevan, a friend of SCPR, came down to LA from San Diego for work. He and SCPR volunteer Sondra had been following the 12yr old girl to the left, Luna (now named Libby) who was at Inland Valley Humane Society, Pomona, CA. She had little to no chance of getting out of the shelter. Sondra being pregnant and tired, told herself no more rescuing dogs because as some of you know, it is very stressful, time consuming and exhausting.
LeMer finished with work for the day and planned to go to Pomona to get Luna. Being that he loves senior poms (which is how he and Sondra met), he had no problem when asked. In the meantime a 911 alarm that the girl on the right, now named Faith, was at a San Diego shelter and had until 5:30pm end of day, and can ANYONE get her before the end of the day to save her life? Faith is a 15yr old senior with no eyes. The shelter thinks she may have been abused because her eyes (or lack there of) have lacerations, she has scars on her belly and her hair had been pulled.
LeMer Bevan was contacted again and asked what are the chances when you get back to San Diego you could also get Faith before 5:30 as we are her only chance before euthanasia. Being the senior pom loving guy he is, he said sure! LeMer gets faith and makes his way back to Orange County to pass off Faith to an SCPR volunteer and then drove back to San Diego all in the same day.
It took four volunteers to get Faith out, to Orange County and then bathed all in the same day. She smelled badley and it took 3 baths to get her clean. LeMer later tells us that when he was picking up Faith from the shelter, he asked the young guy bringing her out if she wouldn't have made it past 5:30 if he hadn't come? He said no and thanks for taking her with tears in his eyes.
We commend every single person who had a hand in getting these two out and to safety and of course as we know, the real hard work is still left to be done.

My quest for the best burger in the city of Pittsburgh took me to NOLA.
NOLA has proven itself to be an excellent after work, happy hour hangout. There is always a great crowd, they have decent appetizer specials, including one dollar gumbo and discounted flat bread pizza, which are perfect for after work / pre-dinner sustenance, and the atmosphere is comfortable and casual.
This place is so cool in fact, one Friday evening at NOLA, my wife and I ran into the King of Social Media himself, also known as the circulator of all things chuckle-worthy, George Takei. But this isn't a blog discussing the viability of locations for post work gatherings, Ill leave that to Pittsburgh Happy Hour. This particular Friday afternoon, I gathered a group of my friends, sat down at a table, and got down to burger business.
Compared to all the great things I have told you about NOLA's atmosphere, the burger was subpar. Objectively, judging the burger independently of its 'New Orleans Cool' atmospheric influences, I would call this burger mediocre at best. It was overcooked, ordered medium rare and served almost well done, the meat was very dry with an unappealing texture, and the entire burger tasting experience was bland. The flavorlessness of the burger was most surprising, because the burger was covered with so many toppings, blandness was the last thing I expected. The burger was served with: 'Voodoo Dust' (a salt and spice Cajun rub), BBQ Pork Shoulder, Smoked Gouda, Onion Rings, Lettuce, Tomato, Red Onion. The only highlight of this meal was the Cajun fries, deliciously deep-fried and covered with the perfect amount of NOLA's special Voodoo Dust.

Rubble - mound breakwaters are designed to protect exposed marine areas from excessive wave activity. The resulting interaction of the incident waves with the rubble units is extremely complex due to the variable reflective and frietional properties of the permeable structure. In the past decade considerable effort has been expended to derive rational methods for of such type structure. The theoretical and experimental investigations have been focused especoialy on the prediction of the reflection and transmission of regular waves incident to breakwater. Sollitt and Cross /^^^Z/ presented the analytical approach to the problem based on the assumption that the original nonlinear governing equation of the wave motion into porous media may be replaced by a linear one so as to give the same average rate of dissipation/Lorentz approximation/. Under the assumption that severe wave conditions for most breakwaters correspond to relatively long waves, the considerably simple solutions were developed by Kondo and Toma /1972/ and in series of papers by Madsen and co-authors /\97k, 1977, 1978/. Madsen s solutions follows rather a physical than mathematical rigorous approach to the problem. The momentum equation evaluated him explains the influence of the inertia force associated with the unsteady flow around the solid particles. Very careful analytical examination of this problem for the long waves past the narrow gaps and holes has been presented by Mei at al. /197**/. The study indicate that apparent mass term can be ignored in most practical cases.

text: Hi everyone. So I bought a Gallien Krueger Goldline 210 in 2008. One of the speakers broke and I have had a better cab since 2010. Now I want to get the cab working again just to get a bit more volume out of a PA system. What I am wondering is what is the cubic volume of the cab? Is it bad to use two different types of speaker in the same cabinet? I would prefer to only buy one new speaker.

Two Oakland men were arrested for shining a laser pointer at a California Highway Patrol helicopter while its crew was searching for a suspect in East Oakland on Saturday night, CHP officials said.
At about 11:15 p.m. Saturday, a CHP helicopter was assisting Oakland police with locating a suspect in the area of Seminary Avenue and Elizabeth Street, according to the CHP.
While overhead, the CHP helicopter was struck seven or eight times by a green laser-pointer from the sidewalk of Bancroft Avenue near Seminary Avenue, according to the CHP.
CHP officers who were already in the area quickly detained two suspects. Oakland residents Christian Palomino, 18, and Roy Montoya, 20, were arrested and a laser pointer was recovered in one of the suspect's pocket, according to the CHP.
The pair is now facing multiple charges, including federal offenses, CHP officials said.
According to the Federal Aviation Administration, there were 3,960 "lasering" incidents nationwide in 2013, including 734 in California. CHP officials say that laser pointers reflect off the interior of the helicopter, turning the small beam into a large, extremely bright beam.
This can interfere not only with the helicopter crew's ability to assist officers on the ground below, but can also disorient or temporarily blind the pilot and can be deadly, according to the CHP.

Moncler Black Friday Sale too
Pants are usually tight which is paired by big loose shirt. Shoulder width. Think about your shoes. High heels won't work on grass or gravel. Why do you have stinky sneakers, in the first place? Maybe your feet are the problem. If so, you have to remedy that problem. Hydrocortisone cream works well to calm the itching and burning. Forget the phrase, 'Beggars can't be choosers.' When it comes to choosing a credit card, you need to find one that will work for you-not the other way around.
Fur is ideal to wear in cold weather because of the insulation provided by the material. This is also a staple item in countries where fashion is important. Even though thinking about it causes you trepidation, there's this nagging temptation in your head that you can't get rid of. How thrilling and refreshing it would be to do something different! And when the time comes that you just can't ignore it, you finally give in.
These are the steps you should follow if you want to maintain the beauty and shine of your patent leather. Black has been a favorite color when it comes to complementing silver. Whether you are looking for something simple, or something a little more ornate you will have something to choose from. Of course you also have several different options with the cut and style of the jacket as well. Attach them to the sole with shoe cement. Your bottom should go sleekly http://www.monclerblackfridaysales.com/ and smoothly down to your shoes, letting the shoes peep out just a bit.

For instance, if you check out contemporary comic books, you will notice the beautiful artistry poured out on the cover designs by the book cover creator. The illustrations are very impressive and somehow convey stories of their own, much like telling a synopsis of the stories written on every page.
You can design your preferred type of shoe. After you are done, you can click the order button. If you have a history of frequent cramps, some dietary changes may be necessary.

Here's what Margaret Kaye's clients are saying about working with her and the Feldenkrais Method…
Functional Integration
"I have been feeling amazing since our last session – taller, lighter, more energetic, but also more confident, stronger, and, dare I say it, a little more manly!"
- Charles Cuninghame
Running Easy
"Taking up running at 40 years of age was only made possible by Margie Kaye's Feldenkrais running course. Seemingly simple things like learning how to rotate my hips, what posture to adopt, what to do with my arms and hands, and where movement was coming from in my body won't make me a marathon runner any time soon, but now I can enjoy a daily run without injury and with genuine pleasure. Highly recommended."
- Jo Chichester
- Jo Chichester
Shoulder pain
"I began a series of individual Feldenkrais lessons with Margaret Kaye. I can only say that these were transformational for me, not only in the gradual improvement in my right shoulder with an almost immediate cessation of pain, and a gradual recovery of movement and flexibility, but also in what I began to learn about the ways in which I moved (or didn't move) my body."
- Susan King
Walking and Plantar fasciitis
"A friend recommended Margaret to me (in preparation for eight weeks of walking a Camino 1200 kms across Spain) and I attended four individual sessions before departing for Spain. Margaret taught me to manage my plantar fasciitis and to walk differently. The end result was that I succeeded in my goal of completing 1197 kms on foot.. I am eternally grateful to Margaret for her support and I am sure the insights from Feldenkrais will endure. If you have a tricky or continuing problem with your body, I can recommend Margaret to you."
- John Lee
Chronic Pain
" After having spinal surgery as a teenager I was left with a life of chronic pain. It escalated to the point where I could no longer work, drive or even sleep through the night. Everything was painful and all this at the age of 26. After over a decade of trying multiple therapies, cortisone injections, braces and contemplating more surgery, it was Feldenkrais that was the first thing to actually make sense to me and consistently help reduce my pain. Finally my body was viewed as a whole rather than disjointed bits that were unrelated to each other. Since doing Feldenkrais, my body has learnt new and better ways to move which has helped make actions and activities that were once very difficult now easier. It has equipped me with a 'tool box' of ways to move, helping me in everyday life where ever I go. I can now move more freely with far less pain and have had the amazing bonus of actually getting taller as my spine changes shape, so much so that my friends and family are now noticing! I wish that I had known about Feldenkrais earlier but now that I have experienced its huge benefits there is no question that Feldenkrais truly has been the biggest breakthrough for my life and I'm so thankful for Margaret's expertise in helping turn my life around. Now my body actually has the opportunity to feel better as the years pass by rather than worse."- Emily Pegg
a word on movement classes…
"Feldenkrais Awareness through Movement classes have been a huge help to me. They are relaxed and friendly and I love how it isn't about high repetitions or pushing your body, the complete opposite to what I've often been taught in the past. Rather, with small and slow movements incorporating the whole body, I ended up moving in ways that I definitely didn't think were possible. In one class I started by only being able to comfortably reach down to my thighs. By the end I was able to touch the floor and walk around on my hands and feet! All of this was done with ease and without pain, strain or discomfort. From the classes I have experienced that even the simplest and smallest Feldenkrais movements can have powerful and lasting effects on my body. Plus in a relaxed atmosphere with no pressure to perform or compare you can just do what is comfortable for you. I wish that the general public and health professionals knew more about Feldenkrais as I'm sure it would be hugely beneficial for a lot of people just as it has been for me."- Emily Pegg

As our customers continue to find success with Aurora, NER continues to expand the capabilities, broaden support and offer the highest levels of customization for this innovative product line.
Glassboro, NJ (PRWEB) January 23, 2014
Today NER announced the addition of an Ethernet Gateway as part of the Aurora High Resolution Temperature Monitoring and Alerting System. The new gateway features updated levels of encryption and an integrated web server that allows for communication with the Aurora Wireless Sensor Monitoring and Notification System without the need for a PC.
This latest addition to the Aurora High Resolution Temperature Monitoring and Alerting System advances proactive environmental monitoring within data centers and other critical spaces. Users now have access to a gateway device with MODBUS TCP interfaces and four SNMP poll and trap interfaces for those that would like to use the Ethernet Gateway for local data collection.
"As our customers continue to find success with Aurora, NER continues to expand the capabilities, broaden support and offer the highest levels of customization for this innovative product line," said Robert Huttemann, Vice President at NER. "What impresses customers the most is the invaluable data, trending and alerting benefits come in an unbelievably easy to deploy solution. The Ethernet gateway is no exception, simply plug this device into any open network port with internet connection and it automatically connects to the Aurora server."
The Ethernet Gateway buffers up to 16,000 sensor data messages in on-board memory in the event of an internet connection interruption. When internet communication is re-established the sensor data will download to the Aurora system.
The Aurora High Resolution Temperature Sensing System revolutionizes how facilities view temperature. Central to the system is a strip that has eight sensors spaced vertically eight inches apart that collect temperature readings at eight different height levels. The readings are visually displayed on the strip through high resolution LEDs that range from cool (blue) to hot (red) and a blend of 129 colors in between. Data from these readings are sent to the Management System through a gateway for trending and alerting purposes.
Huttemann further adds, "Data Centers are dynamic environments with temperature being a critical aspect, so Aurora's instantaneous and accurate representation is invaluable when monitoring changes or validating best-practice improvements. Whether you are looking down the aisle, viewing the user interface, receiving automated alerts, or collecting trending data, with Aurora potential issues in critical spaces will not go unnoticed."
NER manufactures Aurora in the US and is currently accepting orders for immediate delivery. For more information about NER's products and services, visit http://www.nerdata.com.

`The Pagemaster's' Animated Library Tour
Macaulay Culkin and Christopher Lloyd. (G. 75 minutes.)
But that may not bother many kids, and they're the target audience for this sometimes tangled G-rated production about a timid boy's adventures through a fantasy land created by books after he
takes refuge in a large, creaky library during a storm.
"The Pagemaster," which includes live-action segments, fea tures voice talents -- Macaulay Culkin, Christopher Lloyd, Patrick Stewart, Whoopi Goldberg and Leonard Nimoy -- that add fun to the film. But "The Pagemaster" is so hokey that if you think about it much, it will either evaporate or get you riled over its portrayal of the library as a scary place.

Tomorrow, Wednesday, February 24, two pro-gun bills are scheduled for a hearing in the Senate Transportation, Infrastructure and Public Safety Committee:
Senate Bill 782, sponsored by state Senator Robert Onder (R-2), would allow permit holders to carry concealed on property and vehicles used for public transportation, including buses and metro. Current law prevents individuals from carrying a firearm for self-defense on public transportation or in any terminal/facility used for public conveyance.
Senate Bill 1026, sponsored by state Senator Dave Schatz (R-26), establishes the ability of Missouri Sheriffs to issue lifetime permits for $200. This permit is good only in Missouri. Current five year permits that provide reciprocity with other states will continue to be issued.
