'Smear.' It has to be one of the least exotic words in the world. I don't know why they can't call it something a bit less… grim. Perhaps they could remarket it as a cervical MOT ? Or, given that the actual action of a smear is twizzling a little brush (as opposed to smearing something), we could rename it the Twizzle.
Alas, I digress. I imagine all adult women are aware of smears, and know vaguely what they do. To sum up, a smear is a little test of the cells around your cervix, which is done to screen for abnormal cells. 1 in 20 smears will come back with something unusual, but that's not something to worry about. Most of the time, such results will not lead to cervical cancer and the cells may go back to normal on their own. However, in some cases, the abnormal cells need to be treated to prevent them becoming cancerous.
Nearly 3,000 women in the UK are diagnosed with cervical cancer every year. I don't need to remind you of Jade Goody, who died of cervical cancer aged just 27. Cervical cancer is most common in women aged 30-39. Smear tests can catch the signs of cancer early, enabling you to get treatment as soon as possible. They could be the difference between life and death.
I was chatting to a couple of friends about smear tests the other day and both confessed they had been putting them off – partly because they were scared, and partly because they were embarrassed. So, in order to dispel myths and encourage you to go, I shall walk you through the smear test I had last week.
I rocked up at the GP, feeling slightly nervous. My GP is absolutely lovely and she sat me down and explained that she would be using a speculum – an instrument inserted into the vagina to hold it open and give a good view of the cervix – and then a small brush to take the sample. I lay down on the bed, legs akimbo (I believe some GPs use stirrups but mine didn't), and she gently inserted the speculum. It's not particularly comfortable, but it's not painful. She then opened the speculum up a bit to get a decent view. I made a joke about getting a poster of Ryan Gosling for the ceiling. Then she took the brush, and gently turned it 360° in my cervix. It was a bit of a strange sensation, but again – not painful. Two minutes later, it was all over. Speculum was taken out, I hauled my knickers back on, and away I went.
Easy peasy, no fuss, no muss. Not scary, not painful, not embarrassing, and not remotely traumatising. I was in and out within 10 minutes. A week later I got a text telling me that my results were all clear.
So to address the things that my friends were concerned about: firstly, fear. It's not scary, I promise. The doctors and health professionals that do smear tests know what they're doing. It doesn't hurt at all, and it's over in five minutes. For those of my friends that were embarrassed, let me remind you that the people doing this chose it for a career – therefore they have seen a thousand vaginas before you, and will see a thousand vaginas after you. Yes, our vaginas are personal spaces, but they are also part of our anatomy that needs routine maintenance or checks. Think of it clinically - your GP will be. It's not something anyone does for a hobby (unless, you know, you're into that) but if you can grit your teeth and be brave for 5 minutes, it could save your life.
Cervical smears are done every three years for women aged 25-49, though some areas do start screening earlier than that. If you're 25 then you should have received a notice about coming for your first smear. It you're younger and you're concerned, speak to your GP. They may well be able to book you in for one.
I urge you, ladies, to go get a smear. You may not enjoy it, but you won't regret it.

I understand what you are saying PDADoc, I usually play alone in the early morning just as the course opens. I can get in a round in 3 hours or less and continue on with my day afterwards ... that doesn't mean I don't enjoy playing with others. I have met a lot of interesting people, in fact, one morning I met a man who was travelling through 3 States in our area. He is trying to play golf in every State, at the time he played with me, he had only 9 States to go. While it was interesting to talk with him through the round, we were both quiet when it was the other persons time to hit ... our pre-shot routine was basically a practice swing, then hit.
There are a few golfers at our course who feel the social aspect is more important than the golf .... personally I feel that while someone is hitting, or getting ready to putt, you should observe silence. I asked our Pro if ear plugs were legally accepted, he said as long as you weren't getting advice via an MP3 player etc, ear plugs are fine. Now when I golf with these "social golfers" I explain to them I have a hard time concentrating so I need to put the ear plugs in while I'm hitting ... they seem to be fine with that (they get to keep talking) and after I hit I can remove the plugs and socialize until my next shot :)
I keep the ear plugs in my golf bag, you can get like 25 pair of disposable plugs for $7.
Etiquette is important, but sometimes you need to show as much (or more) as expect it :)
I hate people asking for yardages, uuuummmmmmmmm, go o store and buy your own! I'm trying to concentrate!
I was paired up with someone like that in a tournament once, and I would agree that its very obnoxious. One thing that you can do is when you want them to shut up, just say something like "Yeah, just hang on one sec," and they will usually let you hit your shot. The only problem is once the ball leaves your clubface they just start chattering again. Its a subtle way to stop them from talking during your shot, but to get them to shut up completely you're going to have to be a little bit more sharp.
We golfers tend to be a rather courteous. Even if someone is talkative, they should have the good sense to shut up and let you focus on your shot. Even then, if you tell someone that your not in a conversational mood, they should respect that. Otherwise, you just have to learn to deal with all types when you take "pot luck" at a course. Having said allof that, learning to play with distractions is good for your game, in the long run. Learn to focus better on what you are doing and block out the rest.
I played yesterday with an old friend who I have known since Jr. High School. We were playing in a scramble with two other players and we are both talkers. They key is when to not to talk. Golf is a social game and if you think you can play without any social communication you are in a lot of trouble. You should join the Doc in just playing by your self and imagine you are "The Hawk" or some other golfer that feels that complete silence is the key to better golf. Anyway, we had a great time and we played good golf and laughed and talked through out the round. I cannot remember since I had a more enjoyable round. I think most golfers can sense when to shut up and when it's OK to talk. Just don't pair me with three mutes or three players who were raised in a mausoleum.
I don't think you're wrong on any count PDA. You take your game serious and others should respect your playing style. I enjoy playing golf solo as well. I play a 9 holer that's a good practice track and most of the golfers use the course for practice and play alone. I like the quiet and being able to spend time on a shot, its enjoyable, I'll play 9 and not even take down scores, then play another 9 or even 18 sometimes for score. When I play competitive you would have a hard time getting me to chat much. You might consider looking for a partner with similar playing style. I found one who plays a serious game, we are both running about the same scores so we get together a couple times a week just for a practice game. I couldn't tell you anything about the guy other than he has a solid technical swing, plays center cut, misses a lot of greens but can scramble a par like a pro after a miss, putts above average. Now, once I put the bag away, I'll yak it up with anyone.
This stinks I agree. The only thing worse than Chatty Kathys is players who dip (chew tobacco) while golfing. If you think talking is bad, try listening to guys spit every 4 seconds while your setting up to the ball.
Regarding the rangefinder situation, I agree this stinks also. I'm frugal with yardages on par 3 tees, but if it's anywhere else I don't help out those who don't understand the value in having one.... females being an exception, as most of them are often learning their distances where as a male with years of playing experience should know by now.

You make a good point. I find that golfers who chew sunflower seeds and then spit them out on the green is one of the most disgusting repulsive things I encounter while playing golf. This and not raking bunkers are the two worst things I see from slob golfers.

5 Great game, just hold off if you bought the previous titlemdyer91 | 26/07/2013 | See all mdyer91's reviews (6)Its a great Fifa game, just dont look at the bad reviews to put you off buying it, the only reason for the low reviews is due to EA not changing the game much from the previous FIFA PS Vita title.So if your into fifa and didnt buy the older copy, then buy this
5 wow!Stan1712 | 21/03/2013 | See all Stan1712's reviews (15)its exactly the same as the ps3 and 360 version, amazing!!!
3 Very little differenceJezFryer | 08/10/2012 | See all JezFryer's reviews (1)Have to agree with the other review. This is a good game and as always with the Vita the graphcs are superb. However, this version is practically identical to Fifa Football but with the updated squads and kits. My advice is if you didnt purchase Fifa Football then buy it, if you did I wouldn't bother.
3 fifa 13 ps vitashadowlady190 | 27/09/2012 | See all shadowlady190's reviews (5)only 3 stars same as fifa football apart from new kits game play feels the same so if you have fifa football i wouldnt bother with 13 im very disappointed

If you are already a guest or a member sign in below.
Here, we review 14 light bulbs (lamps) of the type used in most household light fittings. Our latest test includes compact fluorescent and LED lamps in wattages from 7W up to 15W.
On this page, you'll find:
This batch of lights was on test for 3000 hours – the equivalent of about seven months, assuming five hours' usage per day. Most performed reasonably well, but some samples have failed already - well short of their claimed lifespan - and some have noticeably faded in light output. We've now stopped this test and will be starting a new batch of lights soon.
LEDs look set to replace CFLs over the next few years as LED lamp technology improves, prices head downwards and concern about the mercury content of CFLs increases. However, LEDs are still comparatively expensive to buy, and those on test range in price from about $20 to $95 per globe. Also, there are few, if any, models in the standard bulb shape with very high light output (more than 1300 lumens, or 100W equivalent).
CFLs are susceptible to failure if switched on and off too frequently, while LEDs, in general, are not. After testing our previous batch of lamps we put them through a rapid switching test. This involved switching them on and off continuously for 454 hours (almost 19 days) on a cycle of 30 seconds off and four-and-a-half minutes on. Of the seven CFL models in that test, three suffered failures and of the eight LED models, only one suffered a failure.
We also put the recent batch through the same test. Again, the CFLs suffered the most burnouts, with most of them failing after several days of rapid switching. However, some LEDs also failed; one Verbatim and two of the Crompton Lighting XL-LED Opal ECO 10W. Interestingly, the Viribright LEDs began showing small red areas of light – maybe not enough to be noticeable if inside a frosted glass light fitting, but quite obvious when looking at the naked bulb and possibly a sign that this model doesn't cope well with rapid switching.
LEDs clearly have an advantage over CFLs when it comes to rapid switching, although it's best to avoid switching lights on and off too often. If you're going in and out of a room several times in a short period (say 15 minutes), you'll probably get better life from the light by keeping it on for the duration rather than switching it on and off each time. Where you have less control over a light's switching pattern, such as with a motion-activated security light, an LED or halogen lamp is likely to last a lot longer than a CFL.
Video: CFLs
How does CHOICE test compact fluorescent lamps?
Note: most people probably still refer to CFLs and incandescents as "light bulbs", and think of a "lamp" as the light fitting on their bedside table. In fact, as pointed out by CHOICE members in the comments, "lamp" is the technically correct term for what we used to call light bulbs. We use both terms in this report.
See results.
Our test is based on the Australian Standard for self-ballasted lamps. The lamps on test are a mix of screw and bayonet fittings; all are "warm white", but wattages vary. Our tester, James Thomson, installs 10 samples of each model in a rig of 150 light fittings, and burns them in for 100 hours. The lights are then put into a continuous switching cycle of 165 minutes on, then 15 minutes off, so they are on for a total of 22 hours per day.
Light output James measures the light output of the lamps after the 100-hour burn-in, then again after 1000 and 3000 operating hours.
Switch-on time is the time taken to start giving out light. In our test of CFLs in 2000, we found some took up to three seconds to activate. However, all the lamps in recent tests activated almost instantly, so James hasn't measured the actual times.
Warm-up time shows the time taken to reach 80% of maximum brightness. CFLs usually take about 30 seconds or less, which is acceptable but still much slower than incandescent or LED lamps, which reach maximum brightness almost instantly. Some CFLs have long warm-up times of several minutes; this doesn't necessarily mean they are noticeably dim to start with, but rather that they can take a long time to stabilise at their maximum light output. LED lamps switch on immediately at maximum brightness then dim a little over the next few minutes (not enough to be noticeable to the naked eye).
Failure rate James regularly checks to see if any lamps have failed (either dying completely or dimming so much that in normal usage you'd replace them). Claimed life expectancy for CFLs typically ranges from 6000 to 15,000 hours; LED lamps claim 20,000 hours or more (often 35,000+).

5 Hard wearingTheBrowns | 11/06/2011 | See all TheBrowns's reviews (1)I had bought one of these for my iphone 3gs and was so pleased and relieved to see that they do one for the iphone 4. It really took care of my iphone 3gs as I'd dropped it a couple of times onto the pavement without it sustaining any damage to case or phone. Brilliant
5 Does the jobWiiJeff | 29/12/2010 | See all WiiJeff's reviews (1)I have had this for over three months. The front cover pushes over the top of the case rather than being magnetic and is still holding fine. It provides a slim profile for the iPhone providing the all important protection. It should cope with minor bumps and scrapes like other similar products.The camera hole is too small but it should be relatively easy to enlarge the hole with a suitable craft knife. For the price, Its not exciting or especially aesthetically pleasing like eighty pound cases but it does the job and particularly retains the thinness of the iPhone. I am happy to give it five stars and I am buying another one for another phone.

Natural sand beaches and warm waters provide the perfect backdrop for relaxing, reading and shelling -- discover your favorite beach pastime. Few destinations in the world have such an abundance of uninterrupted sandy coastline, much of it undisturbed by man. Add a subtropical climate and warm Gulf waters, and it's a recipe for everyone's fantasy island vacation.Sand is just sand, right? Not on The Beaches of Fort Myers & Sanibel. Each beach has a character all its own, derived from its unique geography and sand qualities.Families will find soft, white sand great for kids, and a few beaches with excellent playgrounds nearby. Couples can experience solitude and exceptional sunsets. And active types can enjoy volleyball, picnicking, shelling, cycling and skimboarding.Great Variety of ShellsOne of the most popular beachside activities on The Beaches of Fort Myers & Sanibel is the collection of seashells. Shelling aficionados come from all over the world to comb the beaches for their favorites, and it's not hard to see how this pastime can turn into an obsession.There are shells everywhere on area beaches, including Bonita Beach, Fort Myers Beach and the outer islands, but Sanibel and Captiva islands get the lion's share. Take the Sanibel Causeway ($6) to reach both islands.Geography here plays a key role, as shells from the Caribbean roll up the gradually sloping undersea shelf, and gentle wave action keeps shells intact. Find the best shell specimens early in the morning, before the selection is picked over. Shellers share the beach with nature lovers, as beaches on these barrier islands are groomed only by nature, not machines, so wildlife feels right at home.Estero Island BeachesEstero Island beaches are a study in contrasts: Wide stretches of white, powder-soft sand and a gently sloping shoreline abut a 1940s beach town gone 21st century. Brightly colored umbrellas propped in the sand shelter moms and dads watching kids at play, and a lively scene visits the area by night.Times Square, a pedestrian shopping and dining area, does double duty: By day, it's a sandy lunch spot, and by night it's a jumping-off point for evening festivities.Festivals abound here, and two notables are the Fort Myers Beach Shrimp Festival at Lynn Hall Memorial Park and the American Sandsculpting Championship Festival, which attracts competitors from all over the world – and spectators from near and far.Music emanates from the bars, restaurants and shops lining Fort Myers Beach. Public beach accesses, marked by colored banners extending south along Estero Boulevard, lead the way to tranquil sands. Sand quality varies, but is generally white and powder soft.Secluded SpotsLovers Key State Park provides couples – and families – a true castaway experience. Ride the trolley or walk the boardwalks over tidal lagoons to a white sandy beach, complete with fledgling sea oats. Sand is soft and powdery.Beaches farther south in Bonita Beach include the county's only dog beach and good shelling. The beach is a mix of sand made from crushed shells and swaths of shells.Remote and sparsely populated, beaches on the bridgeless islands of North Captiva and Cayo Costa offer a secluded, wide-open-spaces beach experience. Sand is white, soft and squeaky underfoot.Boca Grande is accessible by road (there's a $4 toll for its causeway). Gasparilla Island State Park has five beaches on the Gulf of Mexico. Sand quality varies, but it's generally soft and white, mixed with crushed shells. Some shelling on southernmost beaches.
Does a day at the beach mean flat-out sun-worshipping to you? Or do you prefer yours with a side of sunset, shells galore or a little recreation? It's hard to narrow down the choices with so many beaches, so we've listed some favorites organized by what they're best known for.ROMANCE: Lovers Key State ParkWith a name like Lovers Key, how can you go wrong? According to local legend, the name stems from its seclusion back in the 1900s, when it was accessible only by boat and determined romantics. Today it's easier to reach, and its beachside wedding gazebo furthers its reputation for amore. You can still get away from the world if you visit the northernmost stretch between Fort Myers Beach's Big Carlos Pass and the park's main entrance.NATURE: Lighthouse Park BeachAn important stop along the Great Florida Birding Trail, Lighthouse Park Beach at Sanibel Island's southernmost tip provides a resting place for birds on the fly. It's known for its migrating warblers and flycatchers.
The beaches along The Beaches of Fort Myers & Sanibel have played host to conservationists throughout the ages. The area's first known inhabitants, the Calusa Indians, lived in harmony with the earth along the lacy coastline, taking their sustenance from the fruits of land and sea.A History of StewardshipIn the early part of the last century, eco-minded folks took to the unspoiled landscape, and one person in particular, noted political cartoonist J.N. "Ding" Darling, spearheaded the effort by helping to create the wildlife sanctuary on Sanibel Island that bears his name.These pioneers of preservation have an assist today from local and state governments, as well as a population that has taken stewardship of the area's natural assets. Unlike many beaches in Florida, most on The Beaches of Fort Myers & Sanibel are left ungroomed.Natural Beaches BestWhile some communities may like the "neat and tidy" beach look achieved by large machines that sift the sand, the folks here prefer a landscape as undisturbed by man as possible. It's the difference between preferring a wildflower meadow to a well-manicured lawn."It's been a discussion that's really been mostly at the city level," says Steve Boutelle, natural resources manager for Lee County. "Sanibel Island as a city has kind of led the way on this, and they've had a long-standing policy that they did not want to groom their beaches … they wanted to leave them in a more natural condition."Wildlife HavenApart from aesthetics, there are more compelling reasons for this manner of beach management.A wide variety of birds and other wildlife gather at the wrack lines, as the tide lines are known, to dine on the nutrient-rich algae, as well as on creatures slightly higher up the food chain that are drawn there. As a result, the islands are a favorite of naturalists and bird-watchers, who come to observe their favorite Southwest Florida fauna.And, the scenic driftwood and fallen limbs that decorate the beaches here have a positive impact on the ecosystem. There's a sense that such debris helps anchor the sand and encourage sea oats growth, which in turn helps the development of the typical three- to four-foot dunes here. "Even those small features become important for sea turtle nesting," says Boutelle.Overall, you'll find the beaches on The Beaches of Fort Myers & Sanibel attractive in their natural beauty, especially on the area's nonbridged islands, including North Captiva and Cayo Costa.Adds Boutelle, "Mother Nature does the management there."
Tolls There's a $6 toll to get onto Sanibel-Captiva and a $4 toll to get onto Gasparilla Island. A separate $2 toll grants you access to Gasparilla Island State Park.
ParkingOn Sanibel, general parking is $2 an hour. Parking stickers are available; call 239-472-3111. In Captiva, both Turner Beach and the public access at the tip of the island are metered at $1 an hour or $5 a day. On Fort Myers Beach, parking is free at accesses and in the lot just before the bridge. Bonita's accesses No. 1 and No. 10 (along with Bonita Beach Park) are metered.
Trolley ServiceA 50-cent trolley provides service to Bowditch Point Regional Park, Lynn Hall Memorial Park, Lovers Key/Carl E. Johnson State Recreation Area, Little Hickory Island Beach Park and Bonita Beach Park. From mid-December through Easter, trolleys run between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. Other times of the year, they run between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. Call LeeTran, 239-275-8726.
PetsWith the exception of Dog Beach, pets are not permitted on county-owned beaches, including the Sanibel Causeway and Captiva beaches. Pets are allowed on a six-foot-long, hand-held leash on Sanibel and Fort Myers Beach. Pets are also allowed in Lovers Key State Park, but not on the beach or in the water. Dog Beach, located just west of the New Pass Bridge in Bonita Springs (and not far from Lovers Key), offers free parking and an off-leash romp for your pet.
AlcoholAlcohol is prohibited on Lee County-controlled beaches. It is allowed on Fort Myers Beach in front of bars and hotels that sell it. Be careful not to stray far from the hotel area with alcohol because law enforcement on Fort Myers Beach is stringent. Alcohol is allowed on Sanibel beaches at all hours during the summer and fall, but it is unlawful to have alcohol on the beaches from one hour after sunset until one hour before sunrise between December 15 and May 15."

When using tape to mark off gym floors you want to be sure you don't use too aggressive a tape so as to ensure the finish/wax of the gymnasium floor does not come up or is damaged when removing the tape. A vinyl tape such as JVCC V-36 colored vinyl tape or a premium vinyl tape such as JVCC V-36P (if you want the tape to adhere a little longer) would be your two best bets. If you'd rather go with a matte finish tape then a low-adhesion gaffers tape such as Scapa 125 would be another one to look at. Thank you.

Arcane Brilliance: Putting the brilliance back in arcane
Every other week, WoW Insider brings you Arcane Brilliance for arcane, fire and frost mages. Stacey Landry is the resident mage here, bender of space and time, conjurer of delicious confectioneries and expert at dressing well while setting things on fire.
I haven't forgotten the arcane among us. When it comes to flavor, arcane mages have it in spades. All of the now definitive mage abilities - Alter Time, Time Warp, Arcane Explosion - these all stem from the power of the arcane. These mages are not elementalists, but delvers into the arcane secrets, the essence of magic itself. Arcane mages embody everything you think of when you think "wizard," mysterious and powerful, and with sparkly spell effects.
I've played arcane over the years at various times, usually when it was too good to ignore as a top-performing spec. Mists introduced some major changes to arcane, even from patch to patch. The charges of Arcane Power went from six to four. The cooldown on Rune of Power was removed. The range of Rune of Power's effect was increased. Scorch went baseline for fire - not a bad result for fire, but tough if you were an arcane mage. Ice Floes is not a panacea when it comes to movement and casting, though the cool down and charges on it were also adjusted for the better.
To be completely clear: Arcane mages aren't having a hard time in terms of damage output. Currently arcane is very high performing. If you look at some of the numbers from various sources, arcane is not just high, it's the highest. That hasn't necessarily made it popular, though, for a number of reasons. Arcane is facing a few challenges.

Dozens of Swedish caregivers were recently recognized by Seattle Metropolitan magazine's annual Top Doctors and Nurse Practitioners feature.
The 2014 rankings include nearly 50 Swedish caregivers and draws from peer endorsements of more than 1,400 doctors, nurses and physician assistants in the Seattle metropolitan area. Nearly 13,000 nominations were narrowed down by an anonymous advisory panel. The panel's criteria included such items as years of experience, competency, patient rapport and satisfaction and compliance with care recommendations.
Below you will find a list of Swedish providers recognized with this year's top honor. A complete list of providers can also be found online.

Swedish physicians recognized as 'Top Docs' in Seattle magazine
Seattle magazine has named 52 Swedish employed or credentialed physicians as 'Top Docs' in its July issue available now on newsstands. Most notably, Marquis Hart, M.D., director of the Swedish Transplant Program, appears on the magazine's cover. Also noteworthy, the edition profiles Jim Walsh, M.D., medical director of the Swedish Addition Recovery Services at Swedish Ballard hospital.
Below is a full list of all Swedish affiliatEd physicians named as a Top Doc. Congratulations to all:
Information from Swedish on Multistate Fungal Meningitis Outbreak among Patients who Received Contaminated Steroid Injections
SEATTLE, Oct. 23, 2012 – The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is investigating a multistate outbreak of fungal meningitis and joint infections. It appears the outbreak is due to the contamination of an injectable steroid medication called methylprednisolone acetate produced by the New England Compounding Center (NECC). Swedish has never carried the methylprednisolone acetate product produced by NECC.
Hundreds of Swedish-Affiliated Providers Recognized as Part of Seattle and Seattle Met Magazines' Annual Top Doctors Surveys
SEATTLE, Sept. 11, 2012 - As they do each year, Seattle magazine and Seattle Met magazines published the results of their annual Top Doctors surveys in their July and August 2012 issues, respectively. To recognize the more than 300 Swedish-affiliated providers who were nominated by their peers for each survey, here is information about both efforts.
Swedish Uses Colon Cancer Live Stream to Fight Disease; Physicians will Respond on Camera to Questions During Live Streamed Colonoscopy on March 28
SEATTLE, March 27, 2012 – Colorectal cancer doesn't broadcast its presence until it's too late. Swedish Health Services hopes to change that by getting the word out about safe and effective prevention options.
On Wednesday, March 28, 2012 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. (PST), Swedish physicians and staff will host its first-ever online chat and video stream of a colonoscopy procedure. The stream will be made available online at www.swedish.org/colonlive.
In the United States today, colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths for both men and women. It is estimated that 51,000 people will die of the disease this year and 143,000 new cases will be diagnosed.
Swedish Advances the Art and Science of Endoscopy; New Center Now Open on 2 SW at First Hill Campus
SEATTLE, March 21, 2012 – In the closing weeks of 2011, Swedish opened the largest, most advanced endoscopy center in the Pacific Northwest on the First Hill campus in Seattle. The 21,600-square-foot, state-of-the-art unit serves as the procedural space for a broad range of minimally invasive cases performed by gastroenterologists, colo-rectal specialists, thoracic and bariatric surgeons and pulmonologists on patients with a broad range of digestive and respiratory diseases.
"This uniquely designed space offers physicians and surgeons from diverse specialties and practices the opportunity to bring their patients the highest level of care in a collaborative, safe and comfortable environment that is easily accessed, spacious and welcoming," said Swedish Chief Medical Officer John Vassall, M.D.
The new unit was completed just over a year after Swedish Medical Group formed Swedish Gastroenterology – a new, employed gastroenterology, hepatology and endoscopy service that brought together several local gastroenterologists in one Swedish-based group dedicated to providing patients with the highest level specialty and subspecialty care available. Founded by Drs. Drew Schembre and Jack Brandabur, Swedish Gastroenterology was created to bring ...
Crosscut.com Posts Article with an Update on the Global to Local Initiative that Swedish is Supporting
SEATTLE, March 7, 2012 - Today Crosscut.com posted an article by free-lance journalist and Seattle-based stringer for the New York Times Collin Tong titled, 'Seattle's global health powerhouses turn their attention to south King County.' The almost 1,900-word piece provided an update on the Global to Local (G2L)initiative that Swedish has been supporting over the last two years.
G2L is a coalition of local and global health groups that have banded together to bring the lessons they've learned in developing countries to south King County, where the health index is as bad as Nairobi ...

Femoral hernia repair is surgery to repair a hernia near the groin or upper thigh. A femoral hernia is tissue that bulges out of a weak spot in the groin. Usually this tissue is part of the intestine.
During surgery to repair the hernia, the tissue is pushed back in. The weakened area is sewn closed or strengthened. This repair can be done with open or laparoscopic surgery.
You will probably receive general anesthesia (asleep and pain-free) for this surgery. If your hernia is small, you may receive local anesthesia and medicine to relax you. You will be awake but pain-free.
In open surgery:
Your surgeon may use a laparoscope instead of doing open surgery.
Femorocele repair; Herniorrhaphy; Hernioplasty - femoral
All femoral hernias need to be repaired, even if they do not cause any symptoms. If the hernia is not repaired, the intestine can get trapped in the hernia (called an incarcerated or strangulated hernia).
When a hernia is incarcerated or strangulated, blood supply to the intestines can be cut off. This can be life threatening. If this happens, you would need emergency surgery.
Risks for any anesthesia are:

Risks for this surgery are:
Always tell your doctor or nurse if:
During the week before your surgery:
On the day of your surgery:
Most people can go home on the same day as the surgery. Some need to stay in the hospital overnight. If your surgery was done as an emergency, you may need to stay in the hospital a few days longer.
After surgery, you may have some swelling, bruising, or soreness around the surgical cut. Taking pain medicines and moving carefully can help.
The outcome of this surgery is usually very good. In a few persons, the hernia returns.

Milton fire station fails by 21 votes
Wednesday, March 13, 2013
MILTON — The proposed $2.7 million Milton Fire Station was denied by voters during Tuesday's elections. With 57 percent of voters supporting it, the station fell just 21 votes shy of receiving a needed 60 percent approval.
Articles 8-12 and 14-17 were boilerplate requests for funding from $500 to $15,000 to be placed in various, existing capital reserve funds. They all passed. Article 13 was a request for $5,000 to purchase computers for Milton Free Public Library. It passed 467-323.
Milton has 3,011 registered voters, of whom 817 voted. That is a turnout of 27 percent.

Martha Jefferson Hospital's Digestive Care Center brings together the diverse medical specialties involved in diagnosing and treating disorders of the digestive system. Our board-certified gastroenterologists work closely with general surgeons, radiologists, pathologists and oncologists to coordinate treatment. Experienced, caring nurses provide personalized, quality care. Throughout the entire process of diagnosis and treatment, the patient's comfort and privacy is of the highest priority.
The Digestive Care Center relies on several disciplines and state-of-the-art capabilities to evaluate and treat gastrointestinal and motility disorders, liver disease and pancreatic and biliary duct disorders. Some of these procedures and techniques include:
The Digestive Care Center has been designed to make the experience as easy as possible for patients and their families. The attendants at the concierge desk in the lobby will direct you to registration. A nurse shows patients to a private room to prepare for the procedure.
Following the procedure, patients may rest comfortably in their room until they are ready to go home. Because most of the procedures performed in the Digestive Care Center are non-surgical, an overnight stay is not usually required. The following day, a nurse will call each patient for follow-up care and to answer any questions.

Salty Road Vanilla Taffy - 3.5oz
Country of Origin: United States
Region: Maine
City / Village: Portland
Salty Road taffy is softer and creamier (much fresher!) than most salt water taffy we've had. Made using top quality, natural ingredients, each flavor is true to its name.
This is the first flavor Salty Road made and it is still one of our favorites. Made using real vanilla bean and crunchy bits of sea salt, each bite is a chewy, creamy journey to deliciousness!

I am very disappointed in the quality of the towels. I purchased them as a gift for a friend and I am almost embarassed to given them to her. I was hoping for a nice thick towel similar to the ones found in four star hotels. I also purchased a set of sheets at the same time and have taken them to Good Will - again, very disappointed in the quality. I have been purchasing from Overstock for a number of years and this order is the first one I have not been completely satisfied with. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to comment.
Being a man I did not know you needed to wash new towels before you used them LOL. I looked like I was covered with snow when I attempted to dry off after a shower. The towel just pushed the water around on me and left me looking like frosty. Having said that after three machine washings the towels are beginning to perform as I had expected. They are the correct size and weight you would find in higher end hotels and if you wash them a minimum of three to four times before the first use I am sure you will enjoy them too.
I've used these towels for a month now and am very pleased with them. I did not want ultra-thick towels, but from other reviews was concerned I would find them too thin. That's not the case at all. I was really looking for spa-like towels that could stand up to make-up stains and wouldn't easily snag, as I've found so many of my towels do. I agree with the review that suggested washing them three times before use. I washed them twice before use and still had some problems with getting "fuzzies" on me.
The stitching of the hems was uneven on all the towels. On a couple of them it was defective�i.e., ran off the edge, etc. Had to return them.
I had the same department store towels for the last 7 years, since my husband and I married. They were wearing out, so we decided to invest in some well-made bath linens. We purchased two sets of 6 and one set of 7 (that includes the bath rug). We are VERY pleased with this purchase! The towels are thick and absorbent, and become softer and fluffier with each wash. As mentioned in other reviews, a lot of lint comes out in the dryer trap the first few times, but it's not problematic at all. Go ahead and buy - you won't be sorry!
solid quality, nice weight?.good price
This was a Christmas present to a friend, who was surprised and thrilled with this Authentic Hotel & Spa Turkish Cotton 6-piece Towel Set. The entire experience of ordering an shipping this item to my friend was painless and very satisfying. Thank you Overstock.com!
these towels leave more lint on your body and in the dryer than any other I have ever bought! they are awful!!!!
I have purchased no less half of dozen of the Authentic Hotel & Spa Turkish Cotton towel sets from Overstock and other online outlets and I have to say I am on the fence with this manufacturer. The pros: Spa-like indulgence at home! These towels are quite large, thick and soooo very soft and comfy! They wash well and last forever and a day! For the price you just can't find better towels! The cons: It's either hit or miss with regard to quality. With at least 12 towels, 12 hand towels and 12 washcloths (all with the same manufacturer's label ordered in sets of 2 at different times), the stichting on any number of these towels look like my first day behind the sewing machine in Home Ec class. Strands here and there can been overlooked... however with my last order, the stichting on 2 of the 2 towels were completely unraveled. One with blue thread! I'd like to say this was a fluke but the quality on every order over the past year seems to have gone down hill from the order before. Note: *Overstock did a great job replacing said towels in a friendly and expedient manner, but I have to say if I find better quality towels from a different manufacturer for approximately the same price, I'm going with them to simply avoid the hassle.
Excellent product - great value for what you get. Very thick and plush and look great. To anyone who complains about fuzz\lint or not absorbing water: you can't EVER use a quality towel without having washed it first. I recommend washing them and then double rinse before drying. When you dry them be sure to check the lint filter frequently and keep it cleared out because there will be a LOT of lint\fuzz with the first wash (it is significantly less later). Also don't use fabric softeners with quality linens - it makes them "waterproof" (basically). Use dryer sheets instead - works way better. I completely recommend these towels - on par with Egyptian cotton towels I had previously from another manufacturer.

5 "..AWESOME SCI-FI CLASSIC.."sdx800 | 03/07/2012 | See all sdx800's reviews (1814)Number 1 Reviewer Number 1 DVD Reviewer Top 100 Games Reviewer Top 10 Gadgets Reviewer Top 10 Toys Reviewer This is one of the most awesome sci-fi movies ever made and one of Schwarzeneggers best ever movies, great story full of imaginative ideas and fantastic effects even for today, a great cast Schwarzenegger was top of his game back then, Sharon stone is young and hot, the movie has a lot of violence and action too, this is a must own if you dont already own it, a gem of a film for all time!!
4 'For the memory of a lifetime'..........................Kevin1075 | 17/07/2012 | See all Kevin1075's reviews (754)Top 100 Reviewer Top 100 DVD Reviewer Top 100 Music Reviewer OK, there's probably not a huge amount to state about the story of Total Recall after 22 years apart from the fact you've likely seen it by now and either like it or don't!Douglas Quaid, a bored construction worker decides to get his memories implanted with a dream vacation and soon finds himself caught up in interplanetary intrigue and a battle for the future of a whole world! Or does he?The question here is whether or not the new Blu-ray edition is worth the spend or not? On balance I would say that while this isn't the absolute best transfer and remaster that I've seen I'm not sorry that I upgraded. There's a clear and distinct difference from the moment the big opening titles begin but some of the shots seemed grainy to me (inside Quaid's apartment, inside the Rekall facility etc) which are probably I'd guess due to how the film was shot in 1990. But other aspects do come up quite a treat in particular some of the visual effects shots.Bearing in mind that Total Recall was pretty much the last big Hollywood film not to employ any CGI at all and rely on traditional effects and modelwork it's surprising that much of it still actually looks pretty decent. Not across the board, but certainly it makes the film look good. And it also screams the 90s in the sheer amount of blood that goes flying about once the action kicks in! Buckets of the stuff adorn most of the film by the end!Extras-wise the major new feature is a 35 minute retrospective interview with director Paul Verhoeven looking back on the film, a commentary (which to my ears seemed to be the one on the previous special edition DVD) and some features on how the film was made etc. There's also a remastering comparison featurette that aims to show you just how much better the transfer here is over the original footage.So, all in, given it was an older sci-fi actioner I hadn't seen for a while it was both refreshingly violent (modern action films are just so tame in comparison when you look at them) and also refreshingly still highly entertaining, with a script that mixes traditional Arnie action with a plot and story that's just smart enough and layered enough to give the film more than one interpretation.
5 Brilliant 90's actioner!Chuffed | 22/07/2012 | See all Chuffed's reviews (40)Arnie in one of the last great movies he made in the decade. It has it all the guns the girls and lots of action. The SFX still stand up today reasonably well with great model shots instead of the too perfect as to distract look of CGI that just looks false. Its a good action movie with a nice script that doesnt try to be to clever as to scare away its core audience -Arnie and Sharon Stone fans. Yes there is blood yes there is nudity but remember this was when 18's weren't afraid to deliver everything an adult should be able to witness without the studio systems and censors trying to reduce something down to a 12A certificate just to create more box office takings. Paul Verhoeven an underated director (Basic Instinct is great even without the Sharon Stone infamous scene - Starship Troopers a fun swipe at war movies). If you like nostalgia and fun - slightly cheesey movies that arent to concerned with taking themselves seriously this is a great movie to pick up before the remake ruins it - the remake has taken all the good parts and made uber serious - looks like what Fright Night did to the original classic movie - trampled over its classic status. Also nice extras - a restoration comparison and a documentary about the making of the last Hollywood none CGI production.

I have to tell you how great Nuheat really is.
First of all, Warm Your Floor had the best prices around for the Nuheat product line. Free shipping and timely delivery added to my satisfaction with Warm Your Floor.
Now that we've had the first few chilly mornings of the fall, I have to tell you how great Nuheat really is. We installed Nuheat in our kitchen during our remodel as a replacement heating source for a big bulky radiator in the center of the room. The Nuheat products that I purchased were very easy to install. If anyone tries to tell you that custom mats are easier to install than Nuheat Cable system, don't listen to them. Nuheat Cable Systems are very easy to install. I'm not a pro. If you are handy, you can do it. Make sure you watch all the videos and read all the instructionals on Warm Your Floor and Nuheat's websites. Buying a few extra packs of cable guides may not be necessary but I did for the piece of mind.

We need some feedback on something we want to do...
Lets Go Blues Radio is changing gears a bit.
We want to do a live, weekly post game round table discussion that includes you guys...probably after a game once a week or whatever.
We'd do this using Google+ Hangouts...which is free to use and join, and it works very well. It's what we used for the Lets Go Blues Radio podcasts...and those of you who tuned into the live video broadcast of the live show we did last year, this will be the same as that.
Essentially, you just need a webcam, a microphone (if you have a laptop made in the past 5 or 6 years, you should have both of these built in) and a decent internet connection. Sign up with Google+ and click on the link that we publish to join the show once it starts...and start talking hockey.
We plan on the format being very loose and driven by what you guys want to talk about. We'll have a handful of topics to steer the show if we need to, but just consider this a bunch of Blues fans sitting around a table after a game, talking hockey...airing grievances, praising, complaining, having fun, etc.
I'll be there, running the show and Ponder & Bill will be joining when he can. And the show would probably last an hour or so, depending on the conversation.
The main limitation with Google+ Hangouts is that it only allows for 10 participants at a time...which is plenty for a round table type format.
But if you can't (or don't want to) participate, you can watch the live show on the LetsGoBlues.com home page as it will be streaming live for the world to see.
We need some feedback to see if this is worth doing. I think it could be a lot of fun.
So, what do you guys think? Would you guys participate?

i kept it hoping i can get some use out of it, but too thin.
I love the case but I would not recommend purchasing this type of case for an iPhone 4s. All pictures that you take have a blue hue to them due to the flash I guess reflecting off the case. Bummer because I really really liked the look of the case
Case is very cute, get lots of compliments on it. Cut outs are large enough for all cables and use of buttons. Would not recommend if you are buying solely for protection purposes. Don't think it would offer much protection if dropped.
The water drops are 3D! Daughter took off her old case and replaced it with this one as soon as she received it. When I originally opened the package, I was hoping she might not like it so I could keep it. It's good fun for the price.
I love this case the color everything is good really thin case looks good :)
I like this case. It is sleek and looks like little water droplets and they are textured so it isn't slippery. The color is subtle pretty oceany aqua color and seethrough if you wanted to add a skin to your iphone underneath.
This is a nice case. It is attractive on the white iPhone. I get compliments on it.
Well I did not expect much from this case other than to look nice on my white iphone. It goes on good and all the buttons slots are big enough. It is hard to get back off after it is on. I also wouldn't trust this cover to protect the phone from a fall but will protect it from scratches and stuff.

FORT HOOD, Texas -- In a brief session to hear remaining arguments, three final court-martial panel members were selected in U.S. vs. Maj. Nidal M. Hasan here.
Fort Hood, Texas -- In a nearly five-hour hearing, the trial judge in the case of the U.S. vs. Maj. Nidal M. Hasan, ruled from the bench on several defense motions to reconsider previous rulings and set the next pretrial hearing date in the court-martial for Feb. 27.
(AUSTIN) — The Fort Hood Army post had an economic impact of $25.3 billion in Texas during fiscal 2011, according to a new analysis released today by Texas Comptroller Susan Combs.
FORT HOOD, Texas -- The III Corps Commanding General will award two Soldiers Silver Stars for action in the Adi Ghar Mountains of Southern Afghanistan at 9:45 a.m. Nov. 2 on Ready Field West Fort Hood.

NORTH FORT HOOD, Texas – While some people prepare for Halloween night to serve up scary costumes and candy, others also use the eerie holiday theme to show their gratitude to Soldiers and Families.
First Army Division West did just that Saturday by hosting its first Halloween Open House, which was immediately followed by a USO-sponsored Soldier Appreciation Extravaganza.

4 Impossibly goodbowsie1 | 28/05/2013 | See all bowsie1's reviews (125)Top 100 Music Reviewer The fact this movie's theme is the utter devastation the Tsunami brought years ago, this move is a real tour de force about the human spirit ande endeavour. The initial disaster scene is simply horrific and puts you right into the terror of what people must have experienced. Having seen it in the cinema, it felt almost claustrophopic.. Strong character performances from Watts and McGregor, but the film is tolen by the kids who you root for throughout the film. Highly recommended
3 Goodawesomecity | 21/05/2013 | See all awesomecity's reviews (987)Superb acting. Horrific subject. Very well put together. Just two points: it obviously is possible as it really happened and the beginning is great but it dwindles towards the end.
5 superb film, really moving and heartbreakinglizzie2013 | 12/01/2014 | See all lizzie2013's reviews (3)This film was superb. How the other reviewer can say it dwindled towards the end is beyond me! This is a true story and people's lives were devastated and it no way dwindled it bought such devastation into reality when watching it, from start to finish and I could not stop crying. The effects and acting was out of this world. Makes u realise how lucky we are!
