Resident have at least two more days of hassles with boiling water of buying bottled water. Some families are stretching their budgets to get the cases of water they need. But that's not all, doctors are seeing an uptick in patients with symptoms of bacteria contamination.
A more than usual amount of people came in to a Warwick doctors office with upset stomachs Monday and that's not the only impact on people. For families on tight budgets, an unexpected situation like this, becomes more than just an inconvenience.
"So this is what we have to do to eat dinner," explained Matt Girard as he washed mushrooms with bottled water.
The nightly routine for the Girard family in West Warwick has been inconveniently modified.
"5 dollars a case of water, I'm using almost a full case to prepare dinner,"said Urszula Girard.
The Girard's kitchen has become a holding tank for all the pots of water they've boiled for the family of four.
"I go overboard on the boiling part, I just don't want them to get sick," said Urszula.
The Girards are one of the 80 thousand people in Kent County told to boil their water after tests came back showing E. Coli in the water.
A press release was sent out to the media late Sunday afternoon. Hours after the Kent County Water Authority became aware of the tainted water. So people who werent checking the news, may not have heard about it.
"I had a glass this morning, with a little runs," said one man.
"Ugh kind of get sweaty and kind of throwing up a lot, out of the blue," said Ryan Keiser.
Keiser is wondering if the contaminated water is to blame for the vomiting and nausea he's been experiencing.
"I was drinking a lot of tap water too, like everyday a lot, at least a couple gallons,"Keiser explained.
Six people walked in to Care Well Urgent Care in Warwick Monday, complaining of stomach pain. Dr. Oliver Gherardi says that's more than usual. He's concerned about the particular strain of E. Coli, not known at this point.
"It could be very severe if it were one of those E. Coli pathogenic infections, which can be found in red meats," explained Dr. Gherardi.

CCTV released of Poppy Appeal tin burglary
3:59pm Thursday 6th December 2012 in News By Mark Tallentire, Reporter (Durham)
POLICE investigating the theft of a Poppy Appeal collection tin from a North-East museum have released CCTV footage of the crime.
The 22-second video appears to show a man entering the cafe at the Durham Light Infantry (DLI) museum, in Aykley Heads, Durham City, and taking the tin from a counter top.
The burglary took place at about 11.15pm on Thursday, November 8 – days before Remembrance Day.
Police have renewed their appeal for information on the incident.
The man was wearing a baseball jacket with a blue body and white sleeves, with a grey hood from another top underneath pulled over his head, black trousers, black trainers or shoes and gloves.
PC Leanne Howe said: "We are very keen to trace the offender as this took place just before Remembrance Day, making it an especially heartless crime."
Anyone with information is asked to call PC Howe or PC Chris Milburn at Durham City priority crime team on 101, extension 668-2846, or the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800-555-111.

It's a first-of-its-kind event for the annual blockbuster Fill the Dome campaign! The student-run group held its first-ever Fill the Dome Community Launch Event today. Students educated the community about the problem of hunger and detailed this year's Fill the Dome goals and events.
Since 2007, Fill the Dome has filled the Fargodome five times, bringing in more than 400 tons of food (That's over 800,000 pounds!) and $300,000 to support local food pantries.
To donate, get involved, or find out more about this great cause, here's the link.

The responsibilities of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) range from preventing foreign and domestic terrorist attacks; securing the nation's borders; safeguarding transportation systems; responding to natural disasters; nuclear detection; and more. Created in 2002 from a merger that rapidly incorporated parts of eight cabinet departments and 22 government agencies, DHS has struggled to integrate its numerous components and their unique cultures. While DHS is very accomplished at performing its many missions, the nature of the DHS work environment is inherently stressful, and employees suffer from low morale.
A Ready and Resilient Workforce for the Department of Homeland Security: Protecting America's Front Line reviews current workforce resilience efforts, identifies gaps, and provides recommendations for a 5-year strategy to improve DHSTogether, the current DHS workforce resilience program. This report stresses the importance of strong leadership, communication, measurement, and evaluation in the organization and recommends content for a 5-year plan that will promote centralized strategic direction and resource investment to improve readiness and resilience at the department.
While all DHS component agencies share a common mission, each have distinct roles with different stressors attached, making implementation of an organization-wide resilience or wellness program difficult. The recommendations of A Ready and Resilient Workforce for the Department of Homeland Security outline how DHS can focus its efforts on creating a common culture of workforce readiness and resilience, while recognizing the distinct, proud, celebrated cultures of its component agencies.

Here are a few others of the destructive power of these storms...seeing this, it is amazing that the death toll is so small considering that this hit right at dinner time.

It rips through wooden houses as if they are cardboard. Tornados are scary things. Luckily where I live in Texas (Austin) you don't see too many of them.
I read it's the most intense tornado season on record. Sounds a lot like what many claim to be one of the effects of climate change.
There is some breakage. You can see some splinters on the ground.KingLouis; Why didn't the wood break.

The lines
are drawn over the future of public education in Louisiana and it is all set to
play out in state district court this week.
will begin Wednesday over the state's new private school voucher program.
Two teacher
unions are arguing the use of tax money to pay for private school tuition, online
course and home school is against the Louisiana Constitution.
On the
other side, Louisiana Superintendent of Education John White and BESE will
argue the program is legal and helps thousands of children receive a better
education than they would have in the state's public schools.

This restaurant has a great
location.The food we ordered was very good and good presentation as well. We wouldl go again. The service left a little to be desired."

I have been going to Marseille for
years before Broadway. I have brought numerous friends and family over the years there but I need to say that this past visit was a little bit of a deception. I feel it has gone down. I actually had a stomach ache which is due to un sanitary conditions. I still love the place but I have to be honest."

The brunch was great with a good
variety of selections. Wonderful service!"

I've wanted to go to Marseille for
a long time. Just never got there. Loved everything about it. The energy. The service. The food. The wine. I will return."

We enjoyed our recent lunch at
Marseille. At first, were given two tables that were terrible, but the hostess graciously allowed us to move a third time. Service was haughty and slow, but our food was expertly prepared and came out exactly as ordered. The staff moved at a quick pace, but our wait between meals was too long to be comfortable--we got there after the lunch rush so it should not have been a problem. Watermelon carpaccio was a stand out. The fennel and sauce on the salmon plate were delicious. The prices are very reasonable! I'm not sure I would return since there are so many restaurants from which to choose, but I'm glad we tried it."
Dined on 8/14/2014
food used to be good. service used
to be good. They are both terrible now. Almost like this is a different restaurant. I went there twice in the last three weeks. It was awful !! Food almost inedible."

Met up with 2 friends to catch up,
the food was food, the server made excellent recommendations, everything super yummy"
Dined on 8/12/2014
I had a friend in town from
Nashville, and I wanted to take her to a place for brunch that was nice and had some cachet, was New York-ie and fabulous. Marseille didn't disappoint. The service was prompt, professional and friendly, and the food was outstanding. It was a lovely day, and the restaurant was impressive without being haughty. This place has been a favorite of mine for some years, and it remains one."

I was visiting from Boston and
stopped by for a lunch before going to a broad way show. The service was great, but did not serve the full menu in Saturday or Sunday lunch (which I did not find it written on the menu).! The had brunch and a few other selections. Nonetheless it was great."

I took my boyfriend to Marseille
last year and we both loved it. The food is wonderful. However, this time around I went with a group of my girlfriends and we had terrible service. We had two waiters, I don't think they even introduced themselves. One took our order and then disappeared. At every single plating there was a mixup or a dish missing. They wait staff fixed it but it always took forever. I ordered the cookie plate and it was not what was described on the menu. No one came by to apologize or to see how we were doing. At the end of the meal, we spoke to the manager who took off our coffees and gave us champagne. I still felt like no one seemed to care. I enjoy the food at Marseille but I just hope they improve their service."
Dined on 8/8/2014
The food during our recent visit
was wonderful. The veal milanese was perfectly crispy. The cocktails were creative and well-balanced. The sweet corn pot de creme dessert was AMAZING. Truly, the only complaint we had was slow service, but in the company of good friends it wasn't even an issue."
Dined on 8/7/2014
Mussels and fries very good.
(Fries were seasoned with rosemary and thyme -- nice combination.) Vegetable terrine tasty but hard to cut into bite-sized pieces with standard knife due to large slices of eggplant and squash. Tuscan chicken cooked under a brick excellent -- crispy skin. Mashed potatoes divine. Half a dozen grappas on menu, but only one available. Cheese plate okay, but cheeses not identified by server. Ordered three scoops of sorbets, but got only two flavors: blueberry promised but not delivered. Sardinian white a big surprise -- clean and fruity."
Dined on 8/7/2014
I took my mom out to this French
restaurant for her birthday during restaurant week. I chose this restaurant in particular because they had a lot of variety. We started off with some cocktails, my mom got the sangria and I got the "Le Pamplemousse." The sangria sounds good from the menu, but it was sub-par, I definitely had better. The Pamplemousse was not overly sweet, but also nothing memorable. Appetizer, we got the Saffron Risotto and vegetable terrine. The risotto had no saffron flavor and it was under-salted. I highly recommend the terrine. Entree we got the lamb chops and branzino. They were both delicious, but my favorite is definitely the branzino. Flavors were well balanced between the salsa verde and corn & celery slaw."
Dined on 8/6/2014
Last Tuesday I entertained a
visitor who has had little experience with New York at lunch at Marseille. I admit that the choice of restaurant was dictated mostly by location, but we had a wonderful lunch experience. Superb food with superb service and with a modern but elegant ambiance made for an excellent interlude in an otherwise busy day. Noise level was mercifully low, and the highlight was a truly first-class wine list with a strong emphasis on the French, of course."

Exceklent food and service made

3rd time back to Marseille food is
always excellent, they had kale salad before it was the latest new trend, hanger steak melted in your mouth and as always service is very good I would definitely recommend Marseille"
Dined on 8/2/2014
Good place to meet friends for
brunch, dinner, pre Theater bite or just for drinks. Good vibrant atmosphere, professional experienced staff, quality food items."
Dined on 8/1/2014
I've eaten here before and have
always enjoyed the food and the quality of service. It did disappoint this time either. We had dinner later in the evening and so didn't have to wait for our table. Eating here is never a rushed experience unless you advise them that you are going to a show. Prices are good too! I would recommend this place for a good meal and a very pleasant atmosphere! Could almost think you are in Paris!!!"
Dined on 8/1/2014
The crispy trout and calamari were
delicious but tiny portions on $13 kale salad which was my entree (that they also forgot to bring with the meal). Tiny portion on pasta as well. Not worth it for the prices. Prob should have figured for 9 th ave but was recommended as a top find. Keep looking."
Dined on 8/1/2014
We came here after the theatre and
had read about the food and ambience. Our waiter was lackluster at best and the food was good but not memorable. The ambience was decent but again, not something to write home about! There are so many options in NYC and I was sorry we picked this for one of our few dinners out."
Dined on 7/31/2014
I've walked by this restaurant so
many times but never stopped in. I'm so glad that I finally went inside. The food was so delicious, especially the desserts! Save room!"

My annual reunion with long-time

Went with a group of six women for
lunch. It was restaurant week so we got an unbelievable deal. The waiters were very friendly, helpful & personable. The service was fabulous which we were happy about since we had a Broadway show matinee to catch at 2:00. Three of us had veal which was delicious & a big portion. We were able to get any dessert on the menu. Everyone liked the chocolate cherry bomb & the apple crisp. We all said we will definitely go back & also recommend this restaurant to our friends & family."

We went to Marseille after the
theatre and enjoyed it. The biggest downside was that our waiter was not very good. However food was fine and prices were reasonable"
Dined on 7/29/2014
I don't live in the area, but
whenever I am meeting friends near the theater district this is my go to place for reliably good food at fair prices. The tables are well spaced so you don't hear everyone's conversation. The crab cake falafel appetizer was wonderful; plenty of fresh crab meat with just enough holding it together. I will be back again ...."
Dined on 7/29/2014
Our waiter, Mike, was friendly,
helpful and professional...made the evening memorable."
Dined on 7/28/2014
We went to Marseille prior to
seeing a show at the Majestic. It is very convenient for this and the food was good. Overall I feel that the price was a bit on the high side, but not completely out of line. We went during Restaurant Week so did receive a bit of a discount, otherwise this would have been more expensive. A good option if you are going to a show."
Dined on 7/28/2014
Marseille is an evergreen. Solid
place, food is consistently good. Nice atmosphere, nice space. Good for pre-Theater. Well located."
Dined on 7/28/2014
I usually don't have lunch at
Marsaille, but this Sunday's pre-theater brunch with friends was a standout. Highly recommend the Lorraine Omelet. The bar was it's usual excellent self and made a first-rate Bellini."

Marseille has it all and then

Great food. Some great waitstaff
some bad waitstaff"
Dined on 7/26/2014
We arrived at 12:30pm for lunch on
a mid-summer Friday. This time was not so great. The food was very average. The waiter was great, but the kitchen staff slow. Overall, it was disappointing. Certainly compared to our prior visits which were fabulous."
Dined on 7/25/2014
I went for restaurant week with my
mom, cousin, and uncle. The food was okay: I had the veal which strangely was fried... and a bit dense. I also didn't like the way the veal and feta cheese tasted together. My mom and cousin had the salmon which they said was okay. My uncle had the chicken which I tried a piece. It was very dry."

Always a great meal at this
favorite restaurant. Flavorful, well prepared, artistic and at a fair price for Manhattan!"

The price of the restaurant week
special was a rip off and did not include coffee. Beautiful place and great service does not make a good dinner."

Dozens of men and women marched from Memorial Stadium to the Veterans Memorial in Antelope Park. Among them was Samuel Truax; an Army veteran who served in the Korean War in 1956.
"I'm walking to honor that service, the service of all the guys that were there with me," he said.
These men and women are hoping to put the word 'veteran' back in Veterans Day.
"They use it for a holiday and sales and everything else and don't remember the veterans.. so this is a veterans walk of remembrance," Vietnam veteran Gailen Young said.
Colonel James Randall is a retired Tuskegee airman. Today he shared his story with the veterans who marched across Lincoln, and held a ceremony at the Auld Rec Center.
"In the southeast Asian war, I was shot down, they always want to know about that story," he said.
A story, about 50 years ago, he wasn't sure he'd ever be able to tell.
"I got hit, and there was an explosion in the section and I suspected I was in trouble. I said 'Oh my goodness, I am not going home tonight,'" he said.
Some say Randall's experience is one many veterans can relate to.
"In many cases the society is drifting away from the things that we really stood for when we were doing our duties. We do want to remind them that it does take a little effort to establish the American values," Truax said.

Richmond reads like Blacksburg north this summer as four Hokies are on the Redskins squad, and all four are likely to start on Coach Shanahan's squad come September. Cornerback DeAngelo Hall, Center Will Montgomery, Outside Linebacker Darryl Tapp and Reciever Josh Morgan are all candidates to be starters. Hall is currently nursing sprained ligaments in his ankle, and Tapp is working to learn a new position...as he is a natural Defensive end who is moving to a rush-outside linebacker in the Redskins defense. Montgomery is the anchor of the offensive line and Morgan was brought in to bolster a somewhat depleted wide receiver core. The quartet say they enjoy the fact that their are a bunch of Hokies running around camp as they all know that the Blacksburg products will do their jobs to make the team better. Montgomery also enjoys the fact that his high school team defeated Tapp/Hall's high school squad in the state HS finals all those years ago and isn't shy about bringing it up.

Shortly after the earthquake in Haiti, former AAJ president Mary Alexander called on her fellow trial lawyers to join forces and help the Haitian people the way these lawyers came together to aid the victims of the 9/11 attacks.
Many members didn't need prodding.
Fort Smith, Arkansas, attorney Joey McCutchen and local resident Noah Steffy rented a U-Haul truck to use as a collection station, asking donors to deliver nonperishable food, personal hygiene products, and equipment like flashlights and generators. The firm partnered with the relief organization Friend Ship—with which Steffy once worked as a volunteer in Haiti—that transported the goods to Port-au-Prince.
At press time, McCutchen said their efforts had filled two more 53-foot trailers and were halfway through filling a third. "I call it the Golden Rule in action," he said. "I'm amazed at the way this has taken off, and how much our community cared."
In Coral Gables, Florida, Spencer Aronfeld founded the organization Lawyers to the Rescue. "I didn't know what to do, but I knew I had to do something," Aronfeld said. "I couldn't physically go to Haiti and dig people out of the rubble, but maybe I could coordinate a way to get money to worthy organizations."
One of the group's first efforts: a happy hour fundraiser at a local restaurant. Aronfeld also used Facebook to set up a silent auction and invited fellow trial lawyers to participate.
"The response was overwhelming," he said. "Trial lawyers and related businesses really stepped up. For instance, [trial consultant] David Ball donated a free focus group; a videographer offered free deposition videotaping; [trial consultant] Amy Singer donated a jury selection consultation."
Aronfeld said the group raised almost $10,000 and has grown "too big for me." At press time, he was finalizing plans to make Lawyers to the Rescue a 501(c) nonprofit and setting up a board of directors.
The Kentucky Justice Association (KJA) formed Trial Lawyers Care—Haiti after learning that texted donations to the Red Cross could take up to 90 days to reach the country. KJA began collecting checks that could be delivered directly to the local Red Cross office, cutting through the red tape and going directly to relief efforts.
Sonia Chaisson, a trial lawyer in Los Angeles, has organized the Trial Lawyers Haiti Support Run, a mud run to be held April 11 that includes tunnel crawls, mud pits, and other obstacles that participants run, walk, and slosh their way through. Participants get sponsors to help them raise contributions, which are earmarked for Doctors Without Borders.
"This is a short mud run that any lawyer can participate in, and there's a separate mud run for children," Chaisson said. She added, "Lawyers are naturally competitive, and my hope is that they foster this energy into helping our brothers and sisters in Haiti."
Let TRIAL know about Haiti relief efforts or other charitable projects you're involved in by e-mailing email@example.com.

Andy wanted Alex Smith in 2012
According to ESPN's Trent Dilfer, new Chiefs coach Andy Reid "courted" Alex Smith last offseason. "There was a courtship last year, to a certain degree," Dilfer said. "I don't know a whole lot. I just know there was a courtship. It was not even an inside source, you know what I mean? It was just kind of the scuttle in the offseason." Dilfer and Smith are close friends from their days as teammates in 2006-07, and Smith was available on the 2012 free agent market for roughly a week before signing a three-year, $24 million deal to stay in San Francisco. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Tuesday that the Chiefs were one of the teams already showing interest in Smith. The tea leaves suggest Kansas City is the early favorite to land Smith via trade, likely for a middle-round pick.Rotoworld

Teary-eyed family members, coworkers and friends of Mike Lamb gathered for a bridge dedication on the Hoosier Heartland Tuesday afternoon. A memorial sign was unveiled at the site of the bridge at 500 South over the new Hoosier Heartland Ind. 25.
The bridge was dedicated in memory of Indiana Department of Transportation project engineer Mike Lamb, who died in late August while supervising the project to build the bridge.
Along with family members, Cass County Commissioners and Cass County Highway Department and INDOT workers were in attendance.
Lamb, who passed away in a house fire, was in his 37th year with INDOT. He began his career on the survey crew in 1980 before moving to construction.
Many workers at INDOT, including Mike Kinsey, Cass County Highway Department employees and the Cass County Commissioners were instrumental in the bridge dedication.
"This is a wonderful honor for him, his family and us," said Kinsey, who worked with Lamb for 32 years.
Micheal Flores, project supervisor of Bureau segment, worked under Mike Lamb for three years. Flores said Lamb was his mentor.
"You usually see dedications to congressmen, commissioners, or slain police officers and they are all great people," Flores said. "Everyone here and everyone who was touched by Lamb knows how deserving he is of the dedication."
Julia Glessner, Lamb's sister, was in attendance with other family members: Stephanie Glessner, Eric Lamb, Jennifer Lamb, Morgan Lamb, Jim Lamb, Shirley Lamb, Marilyn Klise, Rex Klise, Karen Miller, Scott Murphy, Jordon Lamb, Shannon Lamb and Bella Lamb.
"I feel proud, emotional, and very grateful," Glessner said.
Several people including Flores, Jeff Smith, superintendent at the Cass County Highway Department, Brad Minnick and Nate Pfeiffer spoke during the dedication.
Flores said he and Lamb shared a love for classic rock 'n' roll, at the dedication and ended his speech by reading lyrics from the band Kansas: "Carry on my wayward son. There'll be peace when you are done. Lay your weary head to rest. Don't you cry no more."
Family members wiped their eyes as Bella Lamb, granddaughter of Lamb, was held up so she could unveil the memorial sign.

Virginia Tech's living-learning communities help students discover their niche, find friends, and integrate their academic and social lives. Communities are created around academic majors, enhanced-learning, the residential college concept, and themed housing.
"Students choose living-learning communities because these environments make the university smaller," said James Penven, associate director of residence life. "Because there are increased faculty contact and upperclassmen mentors, they allow students to easily find a connection and 'home' at Virginia Tech."
More than 1,000 students each year take advantage of the enhanced learning, stronger personal development, and lasting friendships by joining one the communities.
In fall 2012, a new community called Thrive will join the mix to bring together first-year students from all academic disciplines in an environment that encourages them to develop their strengths. "This new living-learning community is the first multidisciplinary program we've created especially for freshmen," said Frank Shushok, associate vice president for student affairs. "It is grounded in intellectual curiosity and will be made up of students who share the motivation to explore and learn, regardless of their specific majors."
Thrive will combine course curriculum, group projects, social activities, and other resources to reinforce intellectual pursuit and personal growth. It also will use StrengthsQuest, an assessment instrument that evaluates an individual's top five talents out of 34 traits.
Thrive will challenge students to reframe how they construct their college and life experiences. Instead of trying to fix their weaknesses, students are will identify their strengths and be encouraged to apply their talents in meaningful ways.
"A positive psychology approach recognizes the good and builds on that which can increase self-confidence, strengthen a student's self-concept through reflection and experience, and highlight proactive ways that students learn to engage the world around them from a positive lens," said Eleanor Finger, director of housing and residence life.
A strong sense of community distinguishes the living-learning experience, said Patrick Goley of Gaithersburg, Md., a junior majoring in electrical engineering in the College of Engineering and a member of the Honors Residential College living-learning community. During the 2011-12 academic year, he was elected its first co-president.
"I always thought it [community] was something that just happened automatically whenever the right conditions were present," he said. "I was wrong. It takes work and doesn't happen automatically, even in the best conditions. You must be absolutely intentional about building community."
Like the Honors Residential College, Thrive is aligned with Virginia Tech's five Aspirations for Student Learning. "We are looking at more intentional ways to engage residents earlier with their strengths, as both a leadership tool and vehicle to help them deepen their experience and learning in the areas of the five aspirations," Finger said.
The five Aspirations for Student Learning are committing to unwavering curiosity, pursuing self-understanding and integrity, practicing civility, preparing for a life of courageous leadership, and embracing the values of Ut Prosim (That I May Serve).
First-year students must apply to live in the Thrive community. It will have space for about 280 students in Pritchard Hall, which houses 1,016 students.
"The sheer size of Pritchard poses challenges to a student's sense of belonging and community engagement," said Matthew Grimes, assistant director of residence life. "Thrive provides a smaller space within which to explore self and interact with others in an inclusive community that stimulates first-year students intellectually, fosters personal growth and development, and engages them in the university environment."
Living-learning communities can positively shape the first-year experience, said Elizabeth Machesney of Fairfax, Va., a freshman majoring in human development and Spanish in the College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences. As a member of the SERVE (Students Engaging and Responding through Volunteer Experiences) living-learning community, she works on community service projects throughout the year and takes courses with other SERVE students.
She said SERVE has helped her find her place at Virginia Tech and gave her a deeper understanding of her own capabilities. "For starters, I have 20 great friends who I know have at least somewhat similar values as me," she said. "I have a means of becoming involved in the Virginia Tech community through service work and the requirement to have an individual service project. More importantly, the class requires that we do a lot of reflection on our experiences and that reflection always leads to significant insight that really benefits me as a person." Next year, Machesney will be a SERVE community advisor, facilitating group discussions and projects.
There are four types of living-learning communities at Virginia Tech:
Another living-learning experience in Pritchard Hall started in 2011 to help students connect with others who have common interests and strengths.
"In the fall semester, 54 percent of Pritchard residents completed the StrengthsFinder assessment," said Jeananne Tiffany, residential learning coordinator for Pritchard Hall. It "gave residents an opportunity to explore what their top five talent themes or strengths meant to them and in what ways they could utilize them."
Pritchard residents participated in numerous activities throughout the academic year to help them find, develop, and use their strengths.

MP's top ten things you can do to Save St Helier
11:30am Sunday 24th February 2013 in News By Sophia Sleigh, Chief Reporter
The MP for Sutton and Cheam has issued ten things you can do to save St Helier Hospital.
After a packed out meeting last night at Carshalton Boys Sports College, Paul Burstow, is encouraging people to take action against the Better Services Better Value review threatening St Helier's A&E and maternity.
He said: "BSBV is so full of holes if it were a boat it would have sunk long ago. The public meeting exposed yet more flaws in this discredited process.
"For example, BSBV don't have any idea how many nurses and other non doctor healthcare professionals they will need to deliver their plans."
Ten things you can do to save St Helier Hospital
1. Write to your GP. From April this year GPs will make all the important decisions about our local NHS including the future of St Helier. Tell them you are against closing services at St Helier and ask them to write to NHS SW London to say they oppose the closures too. Ask them to send you a copy of the letter they write and any answer they receive. Then send these to the Save St Helier campaign at http://paulburstow.org.uk
2. Join your GP's Patient Participation Group. These help doctors decide how to offer the best healthcare for patients. They hold discussions at regular meetings about health issues. Every GP practice has one.
3. Contact your council's chair of scrutiny. If the NHS agrees to close services at St Helier there is only one way to stop it. The council's scrutiny committee can "call in" the decision forcing the Government to reconsider. In Sutton it is councillor Mary Burstow: email@example.com
4. Be our eyes and ears. Often the best information comes from patients, visitors and staff e.g. maternity departments closing their doors because they are so busy.
5. Use St Helier. There's a risk that patients and staff will go elsewhere because the hospital is under threat. If they do it could make the financial situation at St Helier even worse.
6. Sign the Save St Helier petition.
7. Distribute copies of the Save St Helier petition. Ask you local newsagent or hairdresser if they will put it on display for their customers to sign too.
8. Write to your local paper. You can also phone your local radio station and share your views on Twitter or Facebook. Tell them why you want to Save St Helier.
9. Volunteer to deliver Save St Helier leaflets. Call David on 020 8642 4852 or e-mail Paul Burstow at email@example.com.
10. Make sure Paul Burstow's office have your contact details. It helps them to organise future events. Send mobile numbers and e-mail addresses to email@example.com

12. When that fails, pretend to be leading the Save St Helier movement by suggesting everyone register their contact details with you if they want to help the cause. Use these details to send them all political propaganda reinforcing that idea.
13. Send the newspaper stories like this to divert attention away from the allegations of Lord Rennard's sexual misconduct, and your alleged involvement in covering it up.
14. If you really want to help save St Helier, you should also find out more about BSBV and how these decisions are being made. Read their case for change document http://www.bsbv.swlo
ndon.nhs.uk/ and send comments to them directly at betterservices@swlon
don.nhs.uk. You can write letters and sign petitions like this one: http://www.suttongua
lier/petition/, all without any need to involve a failed MP.

This is a fun route for the experienced alpinist. It has assorted elements including mixed, ice and some aid for those who can't climb hard mixed. We did it in 4 long pitches with some simuling with a 70 meter rope. So 5-6 without simuling with a 60 meter rope. The first pitch starts at the obvious gully down from the notch above the gully. Ascend about 200 feet up the gully and ascend the obvious ramp to the left. Belay from the quasi-cave. Ascend up and left for one pitch. Then ascend up and slightly right. The rest of the route follows the obvious weaknesses until you get to a small headwall. This is called a 5.8 crack. I was able to free it with only two moves of aid off fixed gear. The climbing above this is somewhat technical but a relief after the difficult aid moves.
Find the phantom slide and ascend more or less upwards and slightly left. Bear mostly up and somewhat left. Ideally, go with someone who knows the approach or follow a skin track as much of the approach is done through thick trees. As the grade decreases, bear left towards the notch. From the obvious notch, descend probably 200 vertical feet and traverse to the first obvious gully. Ascend roughly 200 vertical feet to the left traverse.

ESPN's Clayton believes switch to Ryan Lindley is a mistake
Clayton, who was a guest of Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf Wednesday, noted how bad John Skelton played Sunday in Atlanta.
The quarterback completed just 2-of-7 passes before being yanked, but even though he was erratic enough to have Clayton say "I'm surprised they might have had people warned in the stands, duck if the ball is coming your way", the analyst thinks it was the wrong move then and now.
"You're going to put in a rookie quarterback with a rookie wide receiver and two rookie tackles, it's like what are you doing," Clayton said. "And now to come back and do this, I think it's a very dangerous move and it's a move that I don't endorse, sorry."
Clayton said Whisenhunt is one of the brightest and best coaches in the NFL, but views this move as one of pure desperation.
"He's given up on John Skelton, obviously, and he's looking for accountability, obviously, but also is this a move that's going to give this team the best chance to win," Clayton asked. "Sometimes you have to suck it up and say 'OK fine, let's just go with John, I know you didn't do a good job.'"
listen Listen: John Clayton, ESPN NFL Insider
Clayton calls into the show to discuss the Cardinals deciding to start Ryan Lindley against the Rams this Sunday. Clayton touches on the 49ers quarterback situation and Harbaugh's press conference today.
"It's, to me, a rush job," Clayton said. "Maybe in some ways John Skelton was rushed into the job when he was young...but to me this puts a very tenuous position for this rookie quarterback to succeed."
And if he doesn't, Clayton said Whisenhunt would have to be on the hot seat with regards to job security.
"It's a shame because first off, if anything happens to him in Arizona he would move toward the front of the list in a year where there's going to be seven to 10 coaching changes," he said. "He will not be out of work long, he's too good of a coach."
Clayton added it is looking like the Cardinals will be forced to address the quarterback position in the draft, though the QB crop this year is not nearly as good as it has been in the past. Still, it may be a better option than looking for a passer in free agency or via trade.
"The thing that I think you have to do, you're not going to get anything great in free agency," Clayton said, while acknowledging San Francisco's Alex Smith could be available and an option. "I did another stat on trades. The last 10 trades for quarterbacks, and that includes Kevin Kolb and includes Charlie Whitehurst, have now gotten to the point where not one of the 10 has produced one playoff game, and only two have produced guys with winning records in their first year."

Camera operators record images that entertain or inform an audience. Camera operators capture a wide range of material for TV shows, motion pictures, music videos, documentaries, and news and sporting events. Most work in the motion picture industry or television broadcasting.
Camera operators typically do the following:
Many camera operators have one or more assistants working under their supervision. The assistants set up the camera equipment and may be responsible for storing it and caring for it. They also help the operator determine the best shooting angle and make sure that the camera stays in focus.
The increased use of digital filming has changed the work of many camera operators. Many prefer using digital cameras because these instruments give them more angles to shoot from. Digital cameras have also changed the job of some camera assistants: instead of loading film or choosing lenses, they download digital images or choose a type of software program to use with the camera.
The following are examples of types of camera operators.
Studio camera operators work in a broadcast studio and videotape their subjects from a fixed position. There may be one or several cameras in use at a time. Operators normally follow directions that give the order of the shots. They often have time to practice camera movements before shooting begins. If they are shooting a live event, they must be able to make adjustments at a moment's notice and follow the instructions of the show's director.
Electronic news gathering operators work on location as part of a reporting team. ENG operators follow events as they unfold and often record live events or breaking news. To capture these events, operators must anticipate the action and act quickly to shoot it. They sometimes edit their own footage in the field and then send it back to a studio to be broadcast.
Cinematographers film motion pictures. They usually have a team of camera operators and assistants working under them. They determine the best angles and types of cameras to capture a shot. They may use stationary cameras that shoot whatever passes in front of them or a camera mounted on a track that moves around the action. Some operators sit on cranes and follow the action. Others carry the camera on their shoulder while they move around the action. Some cinematographers specialize in filming cartoons or special effects.
Would you make a good camera operator? Sokanu's free assessment reveals your exact compatibility with this career, your strengths, and any unique areas of interest.
Camera operators typically need a bachelor's degree and some on-the-job training in a field related to film or broadcasting. They must have an understanding of digital cameras and computer technology, because both are now used on film sets. On movie sets, many camera operators start out as a production assistant for the camera department to learn how film production works. Production assistants typically run errands or do simple tasks for operators. Operators typically start out working for a small TV station or on a small movie set. As they become more experienced, they move on to larger productions. Camera operators should be able to imagine what the result of their filming or editing will look like to an audience.
Camera operators must be detail oriented. In the field, they need to be able to move about the action while holding a camera steady. They must understand the high-end cameras they use and must know how to use many features of sophisticated editing software. Camera operators must be able to see clearly what they are filming.
ENG operators usually travel locally and may have to stay overnight to cover a major event. Cinematographers and camera operators who film movies or TV shows may film on location and be away from home for months at a time. Operators who travel usually carry heavy equipment.
Some camera operators work in uncomfortable or even dangerous conditions, such as severe weather, military conflicts, and natural disasters. They may have to stand for long periods waiting for an event to take place. They may carry heavy equipment.
Work hours vary with the type of operator, though most work full time. Those who work in broadcasting may have to work long hours to meet a deadline. Those who work in the motion picture industry may have long, irregular hours while filming but go through a period of unemployment after their work on the film is complete and before they are hired for their next job.

|Congress must 'pay the piper'
Letter to the Editor:
I'd like to respond to Mary Lou Hake's Letter to the Editor, "Supports Duffy's Vote Against Debt Ceiling," in the Vilas County News-Review on Oct. 30.
The accountability that Congress has is that it has passed the spending bills: now it must "pay the piper."No bill can be passed without both the House and the Senate sending it to the president.
Maybe Mrs. Hake has forgotten this and the way the small Tea Party group of Republicans has had their way with Speaker Boehner.
They signed off and now they must pay. You don't take a loan on a car and then say, I'm not going to pay for it.
If the House of Representatives would pass a good jobs bill, thousands, maybe millions of people would be able to go back to work, start paying off their debts, buying more products and many would not need food stamps to feed their children.
Slowly but surely the economy would start to grow out of its doldrums.

Definitely one of my favorite hefe's. Awesome dark golden orange color deeper than any I've seen. Gigantic pillowy head with subtle lacing. Very cloudy, it just looks inviting. Prominent well balanced aroma of banana and citrus with spicy cloves. Flavor follows the delicious aroma with a thick malt content. Smooth to the palate but I get a watery thinness at the end, not too detrimental but it holds back the overall feel. Wonderful wheat costs about a buck more than my other favorite but well worth it.

To me one of the more unique looking hefe-weizens out there,pours a gold color with a real nice reddish tint.A small to medium head with aromas of cloves and yeast being the tmost prominent.The taste is orange-like and some cloves a real nice summer quaffer.A unique beer for the style.

Appearance: 500ml bottle. Poured a murkey brown/orange with large foamy head. The head didn't last as long as i thought it might (or as long as i remembered it to).
Smell: Fruity and light. Good spiciness going on here but not as much banana as i thought there would be. A little yeast detection and a hint of bubblegum sweetness.
Taste: Much more banana once on the palate. What starts spicey and earth-like turns into fruity banana and a light citrus with bubblegum chewiness and sweetness. Not as rich and full bodied as i would have liked.
Mouthfeel: Smooth and light off the top. Bubbly and dry towards the finish. An easier drinker.
Drinkablilty. Great for a summers day. There are other great hefeweizens i prefer (Dennison's) but this is a decent example of the style.

Appearance This is really dark for a Hefe Weizen. The head fit the bill though. It rose up easily and never quite did go down.
Smell Theres the typical sharp yeast flavor, but its a little on the toasted side, which is strange. Other than that, it has the usual light fruity profile led by bananas.
Taste This is part dunkel, part hefe. The nice yeast is there but, again, its a little on the toasty side. The banana-dominated fruit is right on the mark.
Mouthfeel Light but foamy in accordance with the style.
Drinkable This went down like a good weizen. It wasnt what I expected, though.

The 'Tap 7' variety, is not a patch on the 'Tap 6' variety. Similar in looks, chestnut grey and cloudy. Thinner, with a harder and rather spear-like on the palette tinniness (in comparison, between the two).
This one cost me e0.95 from the local specialist beer shop; the #6 was e1.19.The e0.24 premium is very well spent is my advice!

Purchased from Otto's Wooden Cask in Brown Deer, WI. Pours a bright dark gold body with a bright white head. Aroma is loaded with fruity esters, banana peel and clove. Medium bodied with a smooth wheat malt flavor, crisp carbonation and a clean, dry finish. Superb drinkability.

Dark golden brown with a thick frothy head. pretty thick lacing.
Bananas and cloves with a pinch of spice.
First sweet lemons and then light banana cloves. quite malty, with a bready finish.
nice full body and the right amount of carbonation.
pretty filling beer.
This beer does not pack the same punch that its bavarian counterparts do. It is pleasant but its character is lacking something to impress. I do like that malty aspect though.

Presentation: It was poured from a brown 500ml or 1 pint .9oz bottle into a weizen glass.
Appearance: It had a dark bronze color like a Dunkelweizen. The body was hazy and had some visible carbonation. It produced a thick billowy head that was cloudy white in color and had good retention and slick lacing.
Smell: The aroma had a fruity yeasty character that stood out over hints of wheat malt.
Taste/Mouth feel: It is very smooth and creamy on the palate with soft carbonation and a good solid medium body. The flavor has a big solid malty presence with creamy wheat, sweet bready and lightly toasted caramel notes. Flavor notes of fruity yeast, banana and clove are present and well balanced. Its hop flavor is very mild and it finishes fairly crisp and balanced.
Notes: Overall I enjoyed its wonderful deep malty flavor and drinkability.

Darker than the usual weissebier, big aroma of banana bread and hints of yeast and clove. Phenolic character is expressive with clove and a slight medicinal flavour that cuts right through the wheat. This same phenolic character keeps its bite right to the end.

500 ml bottle, courtesy of BigLove, decants into a half liter weissbier glass a murky, rusty orange body topped by a gigantic, offwhite head. Retention is fair to good, and splotches of lace are left all over the sides of the large glass.
Aroma is spot on for the style, with spicy clove and pepper and banana. Faint notes of orangepeel and grainy wheat in the background.
Mouthfeel is light medium bodied, with ample carbonation and a peppery bite on the tongue.
Taste has citrusy banana and orange, backed by a strong spicy essence of cloves and white pepper. Grainy wheat, bitter grassy hops, and a yeast presence add a nice balance. Finishes dry, with a slight green banana aftertaste.
A very fine Hefeweizen, that looks different than other Hefes I've tried, but definitely is one of the benchmarks of the style. Very pleasant to enjoy on its own, but this would be ideal with about any kind of German food.

I had this beer on tap at the Half Door in Hartford. It was served in a pint glass, much to my dismay, with a lemon in it. I'll have to remember to ask they serve it sans lemon next time!
As the beer was served to me I noted its orangey amber color. It was cloudy but when you held it to the light you could see through it. The smell was a little floral and a little spicy and a little fruity. First taste was very satisfying, a definite taste of cinnamon or nutmeg and a little sweet. The beer is very well-balanced and enjoyable. Mouthfeel is smooth with the carbonation coming through just enough. This makes for an easy, drinkable beer. Terrific as the days get warmer! I will definitely have this brew again.

The classic hefe, medium sized bottle, has some dating info on the rear label, but it makes no sense to me. Pours dark apricot/brown, with almost a light purple blush. Fluffy light tan head, leaves ample thick lace. The familiar coriander and cloves both in the nose and following through in the flavor profile. Been enjoying this one for years, along with a lot of other beer lovers. Always tasty. You cant go to wrong giving this one a try.

One of my favourite Hefeweizens - the problem is that on this occasion my Schneider glass was caked with yeast flecks from an earlier indulgence, and try as I might I couldn't get the glass perfectly clean. Maybe soaking the glass in soapy water would have liberated the flecks, but I couldn't wait that long, so I just scrubbed it hard with detergent, then rinsed with hot water, scrubbed again with rinse aid, and even tried salting the water to clean off the remaining flecks. In any case, the flecks weren't totally removed, and I've practically wasted my expensive beer by putting it in a glass that kills the head. Stupid me... I just realised I'd never reviewed this and wanted to do it now. Oh well, I'll still enjoy it, but I'll review it again later so that more aromas can be detected.
Note: One of my favourites, and within the Weizen category, very individual.

Orgeat Syrup
by Darcy O'Neil on August 2010
Many classic drinks use orgeat syrup as a component of the drink. It is most famous for contributing to the original Mai Tai but it can be found in many other classics including the Scorpion, Japanese cocktail and the traditional French drink called the Momisette. Orgeat, sometimes called "French Orgeat", is simply a sweetened almond syrup with a little orange flower water. The origins of this syrup are quite interesting and the taste and versatility in drinks is impressive. However, finding orgeat can be hard in some locals, and finding a bar that stocks it, may be even harder. If you can find it, buy a bottle, you won't be disappointed. If you can't find a bottle, I will provide a simple recipe to make your own orgeat.
Orgeat (pronounced "or-zat") is the French form of the word which originated from the Italian word orzata which means almond. The Spanish word Horchata or orxata has a similar origin. This syrup is basically an oil water emulsion of the oils in the almond. This makes orgeat very similar to milk. Prior to using almonds, these emulsions were made with barley.
Note: an emulsion is simply a mixture of two unblendable substances. Basically, the two substances are separated, but because they form very small droplets, they do not easily separate out, so instead of forming layers, they form a cloudy liquid. Milk, butter, hollandaise and mayonnaise are all emulsions.
Prior to refrigeration, people could not store milk because it would spoil very quickly. The only people who may have drank milk would have been farmers, but for the most part milk was turned into cheese, because it could be stored for a long time and sold as a commodity. Now if you pulled milk and butter out of your recipe book, there wouldn't be much left to cook, especially breads and pastries. The solution hundreds of years ago was to use a stable oil water emulsion made from barley and eventually almonds.
The oils in barley and almond are relatively stable at room temperature, and higher temperatures, so they don't spoil very quickly. This makes them perfect for a milk like substitute. In the old days, a persons kitchen would contain a store of barely or almonds, depending on the climate, and when you needed a source of fat, you would use these. As time progressed and food became more of an art, the use of water/oil emulsions increased.
The basic process was to take a quantity of almonds and crush them up in a mortar, while adding water. This would extract the oils in the almonds and emulsify it with the water. After, letting the mush sit for a while it was filtered through muslin cloth and the resulting cloudy liquid was used in place of milk. It could even be whipped or churned to make a butter like substance. Plus, it didn't go rancid and there was no need for refrigeration.
As time progressed and modern amenities arrived, like fridges and fast transportation, the use of almond milk diminished. However, a cordial was made using the same process, but sugar and some flavouring (orange flower water) was added and hence forth it was known as orgeat. It is obviously used in cocktails, but also in coffees, fruit drinks like lemonade and food and desserts.
Recipe for Orgeat Syrup
Using better quality products, such as quality almonds and filtered water, will make a better orgeat syrup.
This recipe for orgeat makes about 1½ litres
500 grams blanched almonds
800 ml water
700 grams table sugar
100 ml Vodka or Brandy
2 Tbls Orange or Rose Flower Water (optional)
Place the almonds in a bowl and cover with cold water and allowed them to soak for 30 minutes. Drain and discard this water, then crush the almonds using a rolling pin, or you could use a food processor to chop them to a fine grind. If you need to, you can add some of the water to the food processor. Transfer the crushed almonds to a large bowl and mix them with the water, let stand for one to two hours. Place a damp cloth or cheese cloth in a mesh filter, over another bowl, and strain the almond and water mixture squeeze the cloth to extract all the liquid.
Put the chopped almonds back into the almond water, let it stand for another hour and then strain again. Repeat a third time if you wish. This is will get all the oils out of the almonds.
Note: To speed up the process you can gently heat the almond water to 50°C (125°F). If you do this, you can cut the soak times to about 15 minutes.
Pour the strained liquid into a pan, discard the almond pulp, add the sugar and cook over gentle heat, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat when the sugar is completely dissolved. Allow to cool for 15 minutes and then add the brandy or vodka and the orange flower water. Store the orgeat in a clean glass bottle.
Once the orgeat has cooled down it is ready to use. Shake yourself a Mai Tai or try a Momisette. The Mai Tai called for "French Orgeat" and this orgeat recipe will work fine, if not better, than commercial orgeat products*.
Make in a 10oz Collins glass filled with ice.
1½ oz Pastis (Richard or Henri Bardouin)
½ oz Orgeat Syrup
Top Sparkling Mineral Water
Add pastis and orgeat to a glass, fill with ice and top off with sparkling mineral water.
This is just one orgeat syrup recipe, and there are a number of variations. You can also vary the amount of water, almonds, orange flower water, etc. since orgeat is very forgiving. The recipe is fairly well balanced and gets good reviews from those who have tried it.
* If you are looking for a good commercial orgeat, Trader Tiki makes a very good product.

In Round #437 EUGENE S. ROBINSON [with the "S" standing for "Suitastic"], KNUCKLE UP host and alleged co-conspirator, wades waist deep into the MGM Grand crowd at UFC 168 and is the eyes and ears for telling what the TV didn't show: that ANDERSON SILVA is no more, that everyone and their fighting mother will be trying to break down CHRIS WEIDMAN's doors at middleweight, that true to form MIESHA TATE won by losing even if the corollary is NOT true for RONDA.
Also, ROBINSON had 7 right on picks out of 8. The 8th? Instead of being occasioned by the sackcloth and ash he had predicted months ago is a somber hombre take on the limits of the flesh that left the audience in attendance shocked and staggered for Silva and the sports world's loss.
Oh. And in true ALFRED HITCHCOCK STYLE the present and great LYOTO MACHIDA makes a cameo appearance right before his woman tries to knee ROBINSON in the groin.
Eugene S. Robinson host of Knuckle Up and author of Fight: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Ass-Kicking but Were Afraid You'd Get Your Ass Kicked for Asking [Harper Collins], A LONG SLOW SCREW [Robotic Boot] and a play called THE INIMITABLE SOUNDS OF LOVE; A THREESOME IN FOUR ACTS [Southern] also sings for a band called OXBOWand appeared in Bill Cosby's Leonard Part 6, a Miller Genuine Draft commercial, and had his own TV show in Germany called? "The Eugene Robinson Show." He has two new records out now"SAL MINEO" with JAMIE STEWART from XIU XIU and STRANGER BY STARLIGHT...you should buy them. Or any of the ones by Oxbow for that matter.

Embarkation at the pier went very smoothly, we are Platinum so there was no waiting to speak of and we were on the ship in about 20 min. of leaving the bus shuttle. Our room was ready and my rented Tux was already hanging in the closet, we met Romeo Eschavez our Room Steward and he took care of everything throughout the cruise in a very efficient and friendly manner. We became friends over the two weeks. We had a Balcony cabin on Caribe near the bow, great location.
We found all the activities to be good and well run, just too many of the things I wanted to do were at the same time, so always choices to be made. I found the Astronomer and the lady that lectured about the "Enigma Machine" to be very good. Having a good Astronomy lecture every Sea Day was wonderful. We did not attend the port lectures because we live in Hawaii and have been to all the places.
I did have one interesting experience with Passenger Services. We were getting off the ship one day early in Ensenada so the night before I took our letter from Princess down there with the L.A. Disembarkation form that I did not need to check with the and make sure everything was a go. I showed the Lady there my letter and gave her back the form. She says I cannot get off Ensenada and I need to fill out the L.A. form, I point to the approved spot on the letter. We go back and forth several times. Then she brings me up in the computer and turns to me to say "You are getting off in Ensenada, you won't need this L.A. form." I almost started laughing, but maintained somehow, and said "Mahalo". The younger generation will not believe a letter on their own letterhead, but will believe a computer, amazing.
We did not do any of the ship tours because we live in the islands.
Our Stateroom was very nice, the bed in good condition, the pillows good. I do wish that during the next drydock that perhaps glass door and a foot rest could be added to the shower. Too hard to balance against the wall and wash ones toes and feet. Also, the water temp in the shower would fluctuate quite a bit and it did not matter what time of day I was showering. Very early morning was the best for a steady temp to be maintained.(0530-0600 hrs.)
With Anytime dining one does not get to know the Wait Staff as personally as one would with Traditional dining, but the care and attention to detail was there. Food was good and I did get my Root Beer Float for dessert one evening. Once I explained it Vladimir our waiter that evening he had it for me even though he had never heard of such a thing. Both Specialty Restaurants were very good with Sabbitinis getting the nod this time. Vladimir was very good. We found the Bar Staff to be very good and they knew our drinks as soon as we walked in and called us by name, very nice.
My Wife did make good use of the Spa facilities.
I do wish the Casinos on Princess would open the Crap table with a full crew, just makes the game more enjoyable rather than the half table routine.
Our special disembarkation went very smoothly. The man sent with the luggage cart took our stuff all the way to the other ship for us. One minor glitch with Mexican Security about which door to go through was the only problem.
