What's His Story? (aka Win a Story!)
First I notice the back of his black T-shirt which reads: I Already Hate You
Then I noticed his right arm was fully tattooed, colorful swirly patterns--red, orange, green, blue--from upper arm to wrist.
My co-worker thought he might be having trouble with the machine so she swung around front to offer assistance and when he angled to speak with her, I noticed his face was tattooed in those same brightly colored, swirly patterns. Co-worker noticed too, obviously. When she returned behind the desk we acknowledged each other with subtly raised brows, a silent, "Wow." I mean we're talking a fully tattooed face. All over. Like a tribal mask. I've never seen anything like it and I've seen a lot of brow-raising things.
First I thought, "Jeez." Then I thought, "Ouch." I mean that had to hurt, right? Then I thought, "It's very well done, arty, kind of sexy." (That tribal thing.) But then, "You're going to have to look at that in the mirror for THE REST OF YOUR LIFE." Me, I like to change up my make-up and hair color (as you know) now and then. Stuck with one dramatic look all the time? No, thank you.
Anyhoo, I told myself not to stare. Human art or no, it's rude to stare. So I averted my gaze and, in the process, noticed the rip in his jeans. The really big rip in the seat of his faded, baggy denims that revealed his right butt cheek! Thank God he was wearing underwear. White briefs. But still, you know, I really didn't need to see that. My co-worker saw too. Another united quirk of the brow. What the heck? I mean who walks around with thier underwear showing? And I'm not talking about the way the kids wear their pants low on their hips revealing the the top quarter of thier 'shorts'. I'm talking the entire right rear section and if he moved just so you could probably see more. No! I did not see more! Didn't want to. Thank you very much.
From the description, you may be thinking that said man had to be in his teens or twenties. He looked, in fact, to be in his early fifties. I'm not sure what I expected when he came up to the desk to pay for his copies. I mean his T-shirt did say: I Already Hate You. Turns out he was extremely nice. Soft-spoken and polite.
When he walked away I couldn't help wondering, what's his story?
What do you think? Who is this guy? What makes him tick? Tell me his story and become eligble to win your choice of any one of my published books! Check out the selection here. Already have my books? Play anyway. Holidays are around the corner. Books make great gifts and stocking stuffers. Come on everyone. Flex your imagination and share. What's his story?

Okay so I don't have a story for you - yet, but I have a question.
Why didn't you ask him when he paid for his copies? I would have. Of course I have this weird quirk for tattoos.
Oh, wait I have part of a story. He has to be an artist. He hasn't worked in an office for decades, if he ever. Tattooing from the neck up is an extreme statement against society and it's norms. He has to be pretty good at what he does because that ink cost him, particularly if it was done well. The torn jeans, absent-minded genius. Too much heavy thinking about larger ideas to give his clothing much thought.
Okay, that's the best I can do on my first cup of coffee. - Thursday, September 21, 2006

Ya know, Cynthia, if I'd run into him while I was performing in a casino (in one of my many capactities), I probably would have expressed my intrigue with his tattoos, hoping he'd elaborate. When I'm performing, whether it be as a singer, character actor, emcee, or dance motivator, I'm a different me. Less inhibited. Crazy, huh? The real me--who you'll find at the library--is a tad more shy. Also it's a different vibe in the casinos than at at the library. However, if he comes in again, I just may comment on the face tattoo. I truly did find it fascinating.
LOVED your story, or partial story. Excellent observations. If you have more to share after a cup or two of java, please do!! - Thursday, September 21, 2006

His wife's life long dream was to become a tattoo artist. Loving her as he did, heart and soul, mind and body, he offered himself up as her canvas to perfect her art.
Years later, at the height of her career she was killed in a tragic hit and run accident. The driver of the car was never found.
In his supreme anguish, he lost all concern for such petty things as new jeans, choosing only to express his anger at the unknown driver through his choice in t-shirts. - Thursday, September 21, 2006

He's a Maori warrior. Or was in his youth. Now he's more mellow and counsels kids to keep them out of gangs. :)

Lol, if you have a rip in your trousers, don't wear underwear. And wash those cheeks. ;)
He's been a Pictish warrior in a former life and has gone back so often that he can't divide his two realities any more. The rip in his jeans was caused by a Roman sword. :) - Thursday, September 21, 2006
When he was young, he reveled at being a non-conformist. Still does.
Rather than wondering how he got each wrinkle, he has a story for each tattoo. Every marking remains in his brain, as on his body.
That one there, that was in Sturgis when he was twenty-one and so full of himself he actually got the snot kicked out of him one night.
This one he got the night after his son was born. That one there, the one directly on his forehead, that was a huge "bite me" comment to his now ex-wife who had taken said four-year-old son, never to be seen again.
Face and body, a tapestry of his life. Who needs photo albums! - Thursday, September 21, 2006

Bob had been a Star Wars fan since the first movie came out, back when he was an impressionable twenty something. His house was a virtual shrine. He identified with the characters, and especially Darth Vader. If only he could be that deliciously evil!
While surfing the Official SW Website one day, he read news that made his heart go pitty-pat. More Star Wars movies! Using his intricate network of Star Wars freaks..err, fans, he scooped all inside information. There was to be a villain, a deliciously evil villain as wicked and malevolent as Darth himself. Darth Maul. Bob HAD to get that part. If he could play an evil, light saber wielding Star Wars villain, his life would be complete.
A source close to George™ told him the as yet unnamed villain would have to be humanoid, but look very different than the average human. But not alien. Just different. Bob pondered his predicament, and decided to do the one thing that would win him the part. He had to show his dedication and knew only one way to let everyone know he was Serious. He trotted off to Sunshine Astral's Tattoo Parlor for a makeover. He was so excited by his plan he didn't ask for tough. He didn't ask for evil. He asked for different.
After being turned down for the part, Bob got a job traveling the country as a Mystery Copier for American Library Association, testing the dedication of library staff. But things are looking up. He has an audition tomorrow for a part on a new lawyer reality show, "Boxers or Briefs". - Thursday, September 21, 2006

I think he is only trying to make a 'statement' to the world that he can be who he chooses. He is who he is and no one can change him. This is his way of 'standing out' and making a statement.
I'd think that the 'look' he is presenting is so he can get his kicks from people who object to it. - Friday, September 22, 2006

No, his name is Vincent -- though if you call him 'Vinnie' he tends to take it personally. Vincent was a stock broker in his former life, a wheeler and dealer at a high-end Wall Street firm. But, Vincent had a peculiar addiction . . . ink. Like all such addictions, it started small: a tribal design on his upper bicep, easily hidden by his oxford shirt and sport coat. But, Vincent discovered that the endorphin rush caused by humming tattoo needles was more powerful than the finest heroin to him. One became two, then three. Soon, he was obsessed with scoring that next hit, with getting that next tattoo. Nor was he particularly choosy in his choice of parlors. Vincent's addiction started to interfere with work; his superiors at Dewey, Cheatham, and Howe were quick to intervene. By that time, though, Vincent was too far gone. He had become a radical, a hippy, an inked, anti-establishement rebel without no particular cause. He gave Wall Street, his cozy life, the finger and moved to a small island off the Jersey shore, near the glittering mecca of AC. He's been on a quest, of sorts, for the last decade. Vincent is writing the history of tattooing . . . on his skin (he was photocopying Ghengis Khan's tattoos, by the way). He lives hand to mouth, earning money playing the air guitar on the Boardwalk and, in turn, using it to finance his addiction. He lives in a deserted fisherman's shack about 6 blocks from the library.
After he dies, Vincent's hoping some enterprising publisher will flay his body and publish his magnum opus . . .

Zaz stared at the primitive device, unwilling to admit he might need assistance. He was a member of House Kalor, as his clan markings clearly showed. A race and a House far more advanced than anything Earth had to offer. Still, how to make this machine produce the two-dimensional non-interactive image he required baffled him.
His failure made him surly. More surly than usual, that is. House Kalor was known for their skill in survey and willingness to travel to the far reaches of the galaxy, not for diplomacy. - Saturday, September 23, 2006

Apparently he'd managed to annoy even more bystanders than usual on this survey trip as more than one Earth native had threatened to summon the Fashion Police.
Fashion Police were not listed in his database of local authorities, but between the baffling machine and the repeated threats to involve him in an interstellar diplomatic tangle for reasons that eluded him, Zaz was on edge.
Nevertheless, he did go out of his way to be polite to the woman who offered to assist him with the machine instead of offering the interfering female a one-way transport to the nearest moon.
Zaz thought the effort to not offend the natives might improve his standing if the Fashion Police did apprehend him. Or at least persuade his superiors not to downgrade his ranking.
The machine did cooperate after a surreptitious kick to the front panel, and Zaz walked out of the building with his copy.
His mission was nearly complete. A few more details and then he could finish his report on the way to the wormhole. If Gal was with him, the forms would be complete before he departed local space.

Originally from Calhoun, Tara moved to Gilmer County a year ago and has been impressed with the spirit of the local community.
"In the past year I've noticed just how friendly and tight-knit the people of this community are, much like my Calhoun community family," said Clance.
Miss Apple Capital is a scholarship pageant sponsored by the Ellijay Lion's Club and official preliminary to the Miss Georgia Scholarship Pageant.
Phases of competition were Interview, talent, on stage question, swimsuit, and evening gown. Preliminary awards were also given for Talent & Swimsuit.
Tara was the recipient of the talent award for her vocal performance of "Glass" by Thompson Square.
Tara's platform stresses the importance of healthy body image and focuses on people's unique beautiful qualities.
"I feel body image is something that a lot of people struggle with; something I myself have struggled with at times.
In contrast to media images, we need to focus on embracing our inner qualities and God given talents and abilities, the things that truly make us who we are".

Have you ever wondered about electric power supply in remote areas? Power grid capacity only reaches so far. With increasing power need in remote areas—even in places like deserts, the arctic and jungles—it's not surprising that hybrid power solutions are becoming more popular. Today's blog post is focused on how hybrid power solutions can help increase efficiency in remote areas while cutting operating costs.
Power generation systems are essential to everyday life and economic growth. Some critical standby applications, such as hospital power, can even be the difference between life and death for those relying on vital electrical equipment. In cases like these, it is absolutely necessary to avoid power outages and interruptions.
Almost daily, we hear of new efforts being made either by a government entity or a given industry to actively pursue sustainable energy, with the ultimate goal of implementing it sooner rather than later. I find this quite encouraging, given the imperative to diversify our global fuel supply.

Internal migration is a trend observed in countries such as Bangladesh
Flickr/IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation/TURKEY
Policies should be designed to support internal movements as a form of adaptation to climate change, write Dominic Kniveton and Max Martin.
What do farmers in the tropics do when their land remains parched for years, or the delta islands on which they live are flooded more frequently because of a changing climate?
If you think, like many still do, that they either stay put in increasing hardship or abandon their homes and emigrate to developed countries, it is time to think again.
People do migrate when faced with rapid and uncertain changes in their environment, but this is largely within their own country and sometimes within their home region. Such movements usually follow, build on or tweak established pathways of migration.
And most of the time, they eventually lead back home — people tend to move back and forth, looking for more productive livelihoods.
The popular media sometimes set out vivid future scenarios of people abandoning their homes and fleeing en masse to faraway places. But there is no hard evidence to support such forecasts.
Evidence from Bangladesh
Internal migration is a trend we observed through ongoing research in Bangladesh carried out alongside the University of Dhaka's Refugee and Migratory Movements Research Unit.
In its first phase, the study, funded by the Climate and Development Knowledge Network, examined 14 villages in three districts: one largely affected by drought, one by flooding and one by cyclones.
Through interviews and focus group discussions, we probed what goes on inside people's minds when they encounter these stresses and shocks.
In all of the locations sampled, people reported broadly similar trends: droughts or floods becoming more common, rain patterns becoming less predictable, riverbanks eroding faster, storm surges getting more serious, land and water becoming increasingly salty and midday temperatures rising. Often, these observations chimed with scientific data.
Economic opportunities
At the same time, economic opportunities are changing in Bangladeshi cities, especially the booming metropolis of Dhaka. There is a trend of people leaving unproductive farms and joining the urban labour force.
Men often find work as construction labourers or in the informal sector as rickshaw pullers or street vendors, while the educated among them may join the growing services industry. Many women join garment factories.
With better education and skills training, these migrants can make better use of the emerging economic opportunities.
Some of the villagers told us that, while they regard environmental events as acts of God, they believe they can proactively minimise or offset their impacts.
For instance, when farmland gets flooded or becomes salinised, the farmer could go to a town, pull a rickshaw or sell plastic toys to earn money for a while, and then return home hoping for a better season.
Successful adaptation
From our preliminary work, we get a sense that, faced with change, people are increasingly seeking diverse livelihood strategies — different ways to make a living. This includes migrating to locations within the country that are well-established as well as new to them. And while some do migrate internationally, long hauls are rare.
In general, the villagers see migration as a normal livelihood strategy — there is nothing dramatic about it.
Migrants almost never give climate as the reason for their movements. Yet, in reality, migration is working as an effective adaptation strategy to climate change, helping people prepare for and recover from the impacts and uncertainties of environmental stress.
But migrants get little support to move out of vulnerable areas, to find new settlements or to return home. They are seen as an outcome of the failures of rural development, not as winners of new work opportunities in cities or as evidence of successful adaptation.
So they often end up living in slums or informal settlements on the fringes of growing cities, exposed to flooding and other hazards. Local governments often fail to provide safe environments and facilities.
Supporting controlled migration
Much discussion about climate-based migration, even in policy circles, still tends to revolve around the notion that when the climate gets hostile people abandon their homes and flee.
A 2011 report commissioned by the Foresight programme of UK Government Office for Science argued that policymakers should help poor people move away from dangerous areas as a way of coping with climate change. Otherwise, it says, people could inadvertently migrate toward vulnerable areas or remain trapped in hazardous conditions. [1]
But policies that restrict migration could, in effect, worsen such situations.
The best bet is to open up existing migration routes, acknowledge migration as an acceptable and effective form of adaptation and facilitate it whenever it is possible and safe.
Policies should be designed to support internal movements for short or long periods as a form of adaptation to climate change. To do this, it helps to see migration as a positive response.

I think the point has been made in studies of livelihood diversification, 'productive bricolage' (my term) and many studies of migration in regions including the Sahel and West Africa, for many years now. "migration as a normal livelihood strategy ". This is what I found in Burkina in the early 1990s, following work in Africa by Debbie Bryceson, Keith Hart, Roz David, Mike Mortimore, and Matthew Lockwood (Sussex). Nobody in the Sahel views the ebb and flow of migrants to towns and richer agricultural areas as anything but normal. There are traditions about accomodating 'strangers', freedom of movement across most country borders, and a strong network for moving cash and information around. I started teaching about this first in 1994 and have some great clips of long and short distance migrants. As I said, I hope the research acknowledges the many studies.

19 February 2013
This research brings texture to a sometimes crude debate.
I heard it presented last week by Tasneem Siddiqui, chair of the Refugee & Migratory Movements Research Unit in Bangladesh as part of a workshop on Loss & Damage from climate change.
My question: will the findings still hold under the dramatic forecasts for sea level rise in southern Bangladesh? If maybe a million people lose their land completely, do they adapt as above or do they become refugees?
Max ( University of Sussex | United Kingdom )
21 February 2013
Aisling Irwin raises an important question. Our study is based around understanding potential future impacts of climate change on migration, based on climate change that has already occurred, using people's responses to year-to-year variability as a proxy. The problem is that future impacts of climate change are likely to outstrip our current experience of the environment.
The question how people will adapt depends in part on governmental policies and in part on community and individual actions. Two of the biggest climate-related risks of Bangladesh are inland flooding and coastal storm surges. In response, people might raise their dwellings by digging out part of their land, migrate seasonally to cities within Bangladesh and use their earnings to support their lives back at home. We feel this is not an indication of a failure to adapt but an adaption strategy in itself – a potential solution, not the problem .
Rather the failure to cope with climate change may point to funding shortages in protecting lives and livelihoods. A recent study by the World Bank calculated that compared to a baseline of the 1998 flood, climate change would cause a further 4% increase in the total flooded area. Yet it also recognised that due to on-going urbanisation probably less people will be exposed to inland flooding in rural areas in the future.
Storm surges, however, are likely to be much more damaging. The same World Bank study 'forecast' that nearly a half of the country's polders could be overtopped by 2050 for a storm surge when combined with sea level rise. Currently 8 million people are exposed to flooding in these areas, and when combined with population growth, climate change could mean an extra 9 million people exposed to flooding greater than 1m. Offsetting such an impact is estimated to cost at least US$ 2.4 billion.

HORNELL, N.Y. -- Tragedy hit the Hornell community two years ago when they lost one of their own in Afghanistan.
Lance Corporal Zachary Smith died while serving his country when he was just 19 years old.
His parents continue to mourn his loss. They say they're honoring Zach this Memorial Day by going to a parade and the cemetery.
Zach's mother, Kim Smith, says she'll also place the Gold Star Wreath on the monument on Broadway Street in Hornell. It's a duty she says she carries with a heavy heart.
"It's my duty and I hope that I don't ever have to pass it on to somebody else. My plan is to do it every year to honor Zach and to honor all the fallen so that they're represented and people in the area know what Gold Star families means," Smith said.
Earlier this month, the Smiths started a petition to get the sign outside the Hornell Post Office changed to say the Zachary Smith Post Office. Their petition has more than 5,000 signatures. They plan to go national with their campaign.

text: So, it's the end of the free ride as we know it As we move into the second quarter of 2013, the free-rider concept can be seen everywhere, from competitive devaluations to lack of reform in the US and Europe, not to mention the failure of the European Council to agree on a bailout programme and public sector resistance to much-needed reforms. But where to from here? With all eyes on Germany and its September election, it has to be asked: will Germany write a big cheque and save the single-currency bloc? The facts state otherwise. Throw in the Cyprus bail-in and the conclusion is that European decision-making has been left bleeding and without hope of recovery. The lack of coherent policies raises serious concerns over who will pay for future bail-ins. Overall, this adds weight to our general theme of a stronger USD and our belief that much of the investment return for the rest of the year will come from foreign-exchange exposure.

This summer has been tough on people with hot jobs. YNN's Geoff Redick went out to Darien Lake to find out who has it hardest at the amusement park.
DARIEN, N.Y. -- At an amusement park on a hot summer day, water is everywhere, unless you're a giant beaver.
Jon Yepez, 19, has been performing as a dancing beaver at Darien Lake Theme Park for nearly three months now. Tuesday was by far his hottest day on the job.
"I recently found out that our stage right here is 10 degrees hotter than anywhere else in the park," said Yepez.
Just walking around Darien Lake on Tuesday was uncomfortable, but imagine having to wear an added 30-40 pounds of padded beaver suit.
"I don't think someone who wasn't physically healthy could do something like this, I mean, it's rough," explained Yepez.
There are some cooling mechanisms in the suit.
"We have an ice vest that we wear that tries to keep us cool. We have a camel pack with water. There's a little fan in the head, kind of helps," Yepez tells us.
But inevitably, the performers still end up dripping sweat.
"It sounds cheesy, but honestly, seeing the kids happy, you get a little feeling inside. Even if I'm in the beaver costume, it's funny. It makes you happy that the kids are happy. You kind of think about, 'Hey, I was there one day.' And you know, if I can make them smile for an hour, it's worth it," said Yepez.

I LOVE this. I may hunt this down for my living room. Funny you switched out the blind for bamboo. I just did the same in one room. I was worried how it would look for the road, but I don't even notice since it was only one window. Now I have to decide if I want to replace all the white wood blinds.
- April 15, 2011 at 1:27 PM
- Anne said...
Thanks so much - I like the bamboo - I thought it might make the fabric pop a little more since it seems like the white blinds just looked kind of "blah" I honestly thought they would also block out more light than the blinds but they really don't - I guess I need to add some blackout liner at some point :)

BIDWELL — A troupe of excited juniors and seniors paraded into River Valley High School on Saturday night for "an enchanted evening" as they observed their prom night.
It was a black tie event for the upperclassmen at RVHS as they danced in celebration of the final days of the school year, many of whom will graduate late next month and enter into college or some other venture in their adult life.
River Valley is the second of the two county high schools to celebrate their promenade, with South Gallia High School holding their prom last Saturday, April 20.
In the Gallipolis City School District, Gallia Academy High School students will be preparing for their prom at 7 p.m. this coming Saturday where the GAHS seniors will celebrate the completion of their high school days.
At River Valley High School, a graduation ceremony will be held beginning at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, May 24 in the high school gymnasium.
South Gallia High School seniors will say "goodbye" to their fellow students and school staff on the following day at 2 p.m. on Saturday, May 25 also in their school's gymnasium.
A commencement ceremony at Gallia Academy High School is slated for the following week at 7 p.m. on Friday, May 31 in the high school gymnasium.

Asymptote is a powerful descriptive 2D and 3D vector graphics language for technical drawing, inspired by MetaPost but with an improved C++-like syntax. It provides for figures the same high-quality level of typesetting that LaTeX does for scientific text. Asymptote is a programming language as opposed to just a graphics program. It can exploit the best features of script (command-driven) and graphical user interface (GUI) methods. High-level graphics commands are implemented in the language itself, allowing them to be easily tailored to specific applications.
WebIssues is a multi-platform system for issue tracking and team collaboration. It can be used to store, share, and track issues with various attributes, comments, and file attachments. It is easy to install and use but has many capabilities and is highly customizable. Desktop and Web clients are provided.
Seed7 is a general purpose programming language. It is a higher level language compared to Ada, C++, and Java. In Seed7, new statements and operators can be declared easily. Functions with type results and type parameters are more elegant than a template or generics concept. Object orientation is used when it brings advantages and not in places when other solutions are more obvious. Although Seed7 contains several concepts of other programming languages, it is generally not considered as a direct descendant of any other programming language.
nut is nutrition software to record what you eat and analyze your meals for nutrient composition. The database included is the latest USDA Nutrient Database for Standard Reference. This database contains values for vitamins, minerals, fats, calories, protein, carbohydrates, fiber, etc., and includes the essential polyunsaturated fats, Omega-3 and Omega-6. Nutrient levels are expressed as a percentage of the Daily Value, the familiar standard of food labeling in the United States, but also can be fully customized. Foods can be added from recipes or food labels, and nutrient intake can be graphed. The program is completely menu-driven and there are no commands to learn.
aime is a simple, C-like programming language and an interpreter, both designed to be embeddable in applications. The language is straightforward, trivial, and direct. Its syntax is simpler than that of C, while still providing for full object management, higher order functions, and references. The interpreter is secure and expressive, allowing comprehensive control over program execution and providing powerful methods of application integration.

Lawson PlaceBury St EdmundsSuffolk, IP32 7EWTel: 01284 769643
Some of the clinics and services offered by the practice are:
Due to clinical priorities we can only offer a limited travel vaccination service. Alternative clinics are available at:
The Travel Clinic, 41 Hills Road, Cambridge CB2 1NT tel: 01223 367362
The Travel Clinic Limited, 10 Fonnereau Rd, Ipswich IP1 3JP tel: 01473 217592
MASTA, 1 Huntigdon Rd, Cambridge CB3 0DB tel: 01223 313969
We will of course try and fit patients into our clinics, but would ask please for as much notice as possible - thank you.
If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to make an appointment with the practice nurse to discuss your travel arrangements. Patients are requested to complete and submit our on-line travel questionnaire before coming to see the nurse. The form can be accessed by the link at the bottom of this page. This will include which countries and areas within countries that you are visiting to determine what vaccinations are required.
Information about countries and vaccinations required can be found on the links below:
It is important to make the initial appointment as early as possible - at least 6 weeks before you travel - as a second appointment will be required with the practice nurse to actually receive the vaccinations. These vaccines have to be ordered as they are not a stock vaccine. Your second appointment needs to be at least 2 weeks before you travelto allow the vaccines to work.
Travel Health Questionnaire
To help us offer the appropriate advice, please fill out the online form before coming to see the nurse.
Travel Questionnaire
We are a small but friendly department within the surgery available to assist with all registration enquiries. We can provide you with all the information you need whether you are established in or planning relocation to our area.
We also provide the following additional services:-
We can be contacted direct on 01284 716114 (or option 5 on the main surgery telephone number). The department operates a voice mail service which enables patients to leave their name and telephone number when our lines are engaged so please leave your details and a member of our team will get back to you as soon as possible.
In addition to this we can now be contacted via e-mail at email@example.com and e-mails are checked daily Monday to Friday.
Enter all or part of your postcode in the box below and click one of the buttons to find those services that are local to you.
Lost Appointments:
In April 80 GP and 58 nurse appointments were lost because patients booked them then did not keep the appointments. This is equivalent to 6 clinical days. This is an appalling waste of appointments that other patients could have used. The Partners respectfully request that any patient intending not to keep a booked appointment cancels it in time to let us offer it to another patient. Please help us to meet the high demand for appointments by not letting them be wasted in this way. Thank you.
A&E West Suffolk Hospital
Our local A&E is currently being overwhelmed by patients with minor problems. Please help us to maintain A&E for those who really need it - patients with life threatening emergencies.
If you have a minor problem telephone the surgery during our normal hours, or the out of hours service when we are closed (111) Your problem will be assessed, and dealt with appropriately.
Thank you.

Fender / Jazzmaster / 1963 / Olympic White / Guitar For Sale
In the early 1960's, the Jazzmaster was Fender's top-of-the-line guitar - above the Stratocaster and Telecaster. The Jazzmaster has long had its fans - Tom Verlaine and Elvis Costello among them - but it's been traditionally overlooked because of the popularlity of the Strat and Tele. This seems to be changing, though, as both players and collectors have begun seeking out good Jazzmasters because of their unique sound, excellent playability, and quality of construction. Values of good original Jazzmasters are on the rise. This variant is arguably the most highly sought-after - finished in Olympic White with matching headstock. Fenders from 1963 have "L" serial numbers and the later rosewood curved fingerboards, and the necks have that "just right" feel - among the best Fender ever made, in my opinion. This Jazzmaster is all original, frets included, with the exception of the string tension bar on the tremolo, which is easily removable with no alteration. The finish shows honest play wear, so it's not mint, but all-original guitars like these are becoming harder and harder to find. Comes with period brown Tolex case.
Nine Ball Guitars, France
Welcome to Nine Ball Guitars on VintageandRare.com!

You've found the best source for guitars in Europe - at the best prices. Take a look at the instruments we have on hand - you'll find a wide variety of modern and vintage electric and acoustic guitars, and a particularly large selection of our specialty - used Gibson Les Paul Historic Reissues. Our goal is to be the European specialist in these amazing guitars.
All our guitars are in inventory here in SW France - no hassles, customs fees, or delays that come with shipping from the US. Fast delivery in Europe, and friendly, knowledgeable service you won't find anywhere else.
Please contact us with any questions you might have. We look forward to speaking with you.
About Nine Ball Guitars
I've been collecting, buying and selling modern and vintage guitars for thirty years, first in the US, where I was born and lived for many years, and now, after moving first to London and then southwest France, in Europe. My goal for 9Ball is to offer European guitar players and collectors an alternative to the high prices usually asked for guitars and amplifiers on this side of the ocean, along with a good selection of guitars on hand here in France, and a friendly and trustworthy partner in selecting your next guitar or amplifier.
At 9Ball, in addition to a wide range of vintage electric and acoustic guitars, I specialize in Gibson Les Paul Historic Reissues. I first discovered these amazing guitars several years ago, and have learned as much as I can about what separates them from normal production Les Pauls, as well as the ins and outs of the different years and models. I believe the Historic Reissues offer a playing experience that comes very close to the original 1954 - 1960 Les Pauls, while costing far less. Take a look at the Les Paul Historic Reissues on the 9Ball site and see if one doesn't make your heart beat a little faster. If you're looking for something in particular that you can't find, email or call and I'll see if I can't track it down for you on my next buying trip to the US.
Here are a few comments from our customers:
"Wow! What a fantastic Les Paul! Thanks for packing it so well. Thanks very much for such a pleasant and easy transaction." TM, Spain
"I received the guitar this afternoon - you were right, it's amazing! Thanks for all your help and patience, it was great doing business with you." FB, Italy
"The guitar has just arrived - it's all perfect! Thank you very much for a great deal!" HM, Japan
We offer a 72 hour approval period on all our guitars. Our goal is for you to be happy with your guitar. A full refund (less shipping costs) will be issued, provided the instrument is returned to us in the same condition as it left us.
Prices do not include shipping. Shipping in the event of a returned instrument is the responsibility of the customer.
All prices are shown inclusive of 19.6% French TVA. Please contact us for prices outside the EU.

Ash Wednesday is Feb. 13: Where to Worship in Des Plaines
The start of the Christian Lenten season begins Wednesday.
Feb. 13 marks Ash Wednesday, which is the start of the Lenten season for many Christian religions including Catholic, Presbyterian, Lutheran, Methodist, Anglican and Eastern Orthodox churches.
In Western Christianity, Ash Wednesday takes place 40 days before Easter. Sundays that fall during that timeframe are not included in the 40-day count.
On Ash Wednesday, many Christians will go to church to receive a cross of ashes on their forehead. The ashes are used as a sign of repentance to God.
During lent, many Christians fast and repent to reflect upon Jesus Christ's death, burial and resurrection. It's customary for Catholics to not eat meat on Fridays during lent. Many also give up something they would otherwise enjoy during this time.
Where to worship in Des Plaines on Ash Wednesday:
First Presbyterian Church of Des Plaines
If you know of an area church also offering Ash Wednesday services, please add the information in the comments section.
7:23 pm on Tuesday, February 12, 2013
First Congregational Church of Des Plaines (Graceland Ave) also has Ash Wed service. Service is at 7:30 PM, and is a half hour long.
Holly Schmidt
7:13 am on Wednesday, February 13, 2013

Sith: the new Pope, take a look at him people the resembalence is creepy! We are all going to be distroyed by the sith Pope and his Death star!!!
sith images | |||
1. | sith | ||
take it from a star wars geek:
the sith were originally an alien species outside the realm of the jurisdiction of the old republic. when the first dark jedi uprising occured roughly 20 millenia prior to the movies, the dark jedi were cast out, and stumbled upon the sith worlds. the sith hailed the dark jedi as gods, and so began the sith empire, where sith magic and the dark side of the force mingled to produce terrifying powers. after the great hyperspace wars that toppled sith lord naga sadow's power base and exiled the dark lord to yavin 4, and the great sith war that ruined sith lord exar kun's bid for power, the sith tradition remained dormant until roughly 2000 years prior to the movies. the sith species had faded into extinction, so at this time the word sith took on its new meaning, that of a cult dedicated to the dark side. the new sith eventually destroyed each other in their bid for power. the 20 thousand survivors, united under sith lord kaan, established a brotherhood of darkness based on the axiom "rule by the strong". this army was driven back by the army of light under lord Hoth to the planet ruusan, on which seven titanic battles were fought. the sith lost all but two of the battles. kaan then came up with the idea of a "thought bomb", created entirely of the dark side of the force. when hoth and his army came upon the sith, kaan triggered the bomb. the implosion of the bomb sucked all of the spirits of the sith and jedi into a state of und... |
2. | sith | ||
there is a power called the force that every living thing poseses like every thing there are two sides to this the light side (jedis use:luke skywalker, obi-wan, yoda ect.) then there is the dark side(siths use vader,maul,Sidious ect)the sith do not see it as evil more of power, a weapon, some 'sith'dont see the force as light or dark but as jsut the force this is frowned upon by the jedi councle (they are closed minded fools) Supreme Chancellor: Remember back to your early teachings. "All who gain power are afraid to lose it." Even the Jedi.
Anakin Skywalker: The Jedi use their power for good. Supreme Chancellor: Good is a point of view, Anakin. The Sith and the Jedi are similar in almost every way, including their quest for greater power. Anakin Skywalker: The Sith rely on their passion for their strength. They think inward, only about themselves. Supreme Chancellor: And the Jedi don't? Anakin Skywalker: The Jedi are selfless... they only care about others. Supreme Chancellor: Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis "the wise"? Anakin Skywalker: No. Supreme Chancellor: I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life... He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. Anakin Skywalker: He could actually save people from death? Supreme Chancellor: The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. Anakin Skywalker: What happened to him? Supreme Chancellor: He became so powerful... the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. It's ironic he could save others from death, but not... |
3. | Sith | ||
The evil version of the Jedi who has embraced the Dark Side of the Force. The Sith were suppressed for one-thousand years by the Jedi Order, until the first three Star Wars movies, when Palpatine/Sideous used deception to rise to power and nearly exterminate the Jedi with the help of Darth Vader, who was once known as Anakin Skywalker. Darth Vader is an excellent example of a Sith Lord.
5. | Sith | ||
Sith are people who follow and embrace the Sith philosophy. That philosophy involves embracing one's emotions (positive and negative) to become powerful and, eventually, free one's self (physically and metaphorically). The Sith philosophy is centered around the Sith Code: Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me. See also: starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Code_of_the_Sith starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Sith By embracing the Sith philosophy, I have already become very powerful, and soon I will free myself from all bondage.
6. | Sith | ||
Any individual who can bring about chaos in an otherwise pleasant situation. The Sith is generally surrounded by 165 mile per hour winds and no less than 30 minions. The Sith is not to be underestimated as his/her vortex of evil energy can tear down buildings, train tracks, and engulf entire universes. Sam: "What a beautiful day it is today."
Sara: "Not a cloud in the sky, so peaceful." Sam: "Look at that asshole over there throwing rocks at children and pissing on that Jesus statue. Sara: "That asshole is a real piece of SITH." |
7. | Sith | ||
1545, from L. insithiosus "deceitful", from insithiæ (pl.) "plot, snare, ambush,"
1 A person, usually female, whose sole purpose in her sith life is to inflict paralyzing mental anguish upon those unfortunate enough to be caught in her crazed mind web (see Vortex) 2 Operating or proceeding in an inconspicuous or seemingly harmless way but actually with grave effect: a sithlike dormant illness. 3 A girl who thrives on mind games of the most evil nature. This type of Sith does not eat, drink or sleep. She is a parasite and her host is the untouched most vulnerable part of your brain and soul. Like bacteria, this brand of Sith is capable of asexual reproduction. It creates an identical copy of itself without contribution from another source. This Sith comes in various forms, from attractive to hag-like and decrepit. Their insides are all alike, a dark chasm of unimaginable torture. Her seed may be planted with a seemingly harmless question or comment. Once the victim makes eye contact, or foolishly engages in conversation with this type of Sith, their death process rapidly increases. Victims can be identified by rapid pacing, profuse sweating, constant shaking of the head coupled with deep sighs, and eventual incoherent babbling. 4 A powerful species that cloned a female homo sapien between the ages of 18 and 55 who shepherds for the devil. 5 Of or relating to The Dark Side. The vile sith set forth on her ruthless path of destruction.

When you unzip this download, you'll get a Word document with over 70 pages of tips from fellow TechRepublic members on how to save the day when a hard drive fails. This document was updated in November 2003.

With attempting to boot the old drive on your new computer: You are getting a BSOD but the OS is set to automatically restart on system failure (Control Panel/ System/Advanced/Startup and Recovery settings.
What's the exact error you're getting when attempting to access the files? Can you view the folder but not copy the files or does it give an error when attempting to access the folder period? Did you happen to have the folder compressed/encrypted (Sorry, just trying to throw out some ideas).

E:\Documents and Settings\squee\my documents is not accessible.
Access is denied.
the folder wasn't encrypted or anything. it was just the my documents folder for the only account that was set up on that drive.

i don't think that there is a physical problem with the hard drive that hitting freezing or dropping it will fix. (that is what it says to do in that Member tips for reviving a failed hard drive file) the reason i don't think there is a problem like that is because before my old computer broke i took the drive out and tried to put it in the new computer which resulted in the failed boot attempt described in above posts. so i took it out of the new computer and returned it to the old one and it would boot up fine. and i am sure it would boot fine in that computer if it was still working.
Posted 26 April 2004 - 01:42 AM
If you go to Control Panel/System/Advanced and click on the button under Startup and Recovery you can remove the check in the checkbox for Automatically Restart under the System Failure group box.
Even though this will stop the computer from rebooting you still have some inherent problem that's causing the BSOD. Could be device drivers trying to load on your new system for devices that don't exist (I may be wrong on this) but maybe the error will help you find out what's up with your system.
Sounds like there is a permissions issue with your My Documents folder. Can you make right click and bring up properties on the folder?
Is your disk formatted in FAT/FAT32? You could go to Bootdisk.com and create a floppy to boot up on and access your My Documents folder from this manner.
Posted 26 April 2004 - 02:37 AM
please try this:
Unknown Devices helps you find what those unknown devices in Device Manager really are.
By checking Device Manager for unknown devices and extracting information from it, this program attempts to figure out what the device is. You might not have to open your case or look up random numbers off of PCI cards to figure out what they are.
Program supports Win95, 98, 98se, Me, 2k, XP and 2003 but not NT. It also attempts to support future OSes.
It runs fine from a CD or floppy. It's free for per personal and (especially) business use. If you want to add it to a cd collection or magazine that is fine, just drop me an email.

You can always navigate to the real location of 'My Documents' without going via the icon, for example in Windows Explorer. If you look through the disk with Explorer, you should be able to locate it under [DRIVE LETTER:]\Documents and Settings\[USERNAME].

Keep the new HDD as master, and the old one as slave. Right-click the old one in Windows Explorer to bring up Sharing & Security (or go there from Proporties). Click the Security tab. Click the Advanced button.
Go the the Owner tab, select your current user profile, and check the "Replace owner on..." box below.
This is all you should have to do, but before clicking OK I would ALSO go to the Permissions tab, clear out whatever is there and add "SYSTEM", "Administrators", and "[your current profile]", giving them all full permissions. Then check the "Replace permission entries..." box below, and click OK.
It will take a few minutes to change the permissions and ownership on EVERY file on the drive, so you may want to just do this whole thing on Documents and Settings.
Also, when it gets to some subfolders that it cannot access it will ask you if you want to give yourself full permissions... click "Yes", of course. Just know that it will ask that, so don't start the process and walk off or you might have to wait a while after you get back and have to click "Yes".
Good luck!
NOTE: if you have Windows XP Home, instead of Pro, reboot in safe mode to get the Sharing and Security tab.

Thanks to Ross's advice the problem is now resolved.
The only issue I came across when following Ross's instructions was that when going into the properties of the hard-drive and then after clicking on "Sharing and Security", the only tabs available were General, Tools, Hardware, Sharing, and Quota. But no Security tab!!
So in order to make the Security tab visible, I did the following steps (which is extracted from Windows Help):
Open Folder Options in Control Panel.
Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
Double-click Folder Options.
On the View tab, under Advanced settings, clear Use simple file sharing [Recommended].
Now follow Ross's instructions and you should be fine.
Thanks all.

ive had a similar problem to this on my laptop. i got the blue screen of death etc but rather than using a new HD i tried to reinstall windows on my current HD. Instead of overwriting the defective windows it installed it alongside the old version so i now get a choice of which to use when booting. Ive tried doing whats been suggested but i cant find the advanced tag in sharing and security and in doing the view folders stuff i cant find the advanced button there. Any suggestions?

The Delaware County Daily Times (delcotimes.com), Serving Delaware County, PA
Friday, November 16, 2012
By RANDY MYERS,
Digital First Media/San Jose Mercury Sun,writer
Cynics, proceed with caution. "Silver Linings Playbook," the emerging Oscar hopeful starring Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence as psychologically troubled souls sorting out their lives, is guaranteed to annoy people like you to its chipper end.
But for eternal optimists — those who see silver linings even in the craziest of situations — this heartwarming drama about messy families and messy underdogs belongs on your crowded "must-see" holiday movie list. True, it sticks to a fairly predictable romantic dramedy template, but David O. Russell's ambidextrous feature comes with prickly edges and insights aplenty as it explores a troubled man's (Cooper) return to his Philadelphia-area home after an eight-month stay in a mental institution.
Based on Matthew Quick's novel and filmed in large part in Upper Darby and Ridley here in Delco, "Playbook" fits comfortably in Russell's recent crowd-pleasing canon. Like his Oscar winner "The Fighter" from 2010, "Playbook" champions scrappy, fragile protagonists wrestling with burdensome demons and kooky families. The well-drawn characters — Russell also wrote the script — refreshingly avoid saying and doing the perfect things; in essence, they're unapologetically human.
That results in meaty roles for the cast, and the accomplished actors sink their teeth into the parts. Cooper in particular stands out, in part because he's so tremendous, but also because he fends off critics who dismiss him as an acting lightweight who coasts on his good looks. As Pat Solitano, a bipolar ex-teacher who's come undone due to his cheating wife, he renders a character you can't take your eyes off.
Accurately portraying a mentally ill man requires real care, and Cooper not only makes Pat vulnerable and likable, but also explores the emotional roller coaster he's on. "Playbook" walks a tightrope in how it portrays mental illness — deriving humor out of its characters' actions while demonstrating just how deep-rooted their problems are. Russell balances it well, even when the film resorts to more conventional developments near its finale.
By then, we're too hooked to care, a credit to Russell and the entire cast. Lawrence ("The Hunger Games") certainly helps. She's a commanding force as the fierce and angry Tiffany, a brittle young widow branded the town floozy; you can feel her anguish in every scene. She and Cooper have great chemistry, and their friendship never seems forced. Robert De Niro turns in one of his best performances of late as Pat's dad, a die-hard Philadelphia Eagles fan who suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder, along with guilt about how it's played out in his son. And what a delight it is to see Jacki Weaver, an Oscar nominee for the riveting "Animal Kingdom," as Pat's well-meaning mom, Dolores. She never misses a beat.
Equally responsible for creating a lasting impression is the production design by Judy Becker. The Solitano home is the real deal, from the dark-wood cabinets and dining room table to the drab wallpaper.
All these elements distinguish "Silver Linings Playbook" as one of the most entertaining gifts from Hollywood so far this season, and one that warmly embraces the uniqueness of all of us.
'Silver Linings Playbook'
