Diane Ares has worn high heels all her life, and she is the proud owner of a towering collection, with a pair to match every outfit.
But Ares' feet have paid the price for her fabulous footwear. She has had three surgeries, and needs yet another operation to correct lingering issues with her toes.
"I want to get out of this pain," said Ares, 77, of Miami Beach. "I can't stand it anymore."
Like women everywhere, Ares' love of fashion has led her down a difficult path, full of pain and frustration.
"Foot and ankle problems in women are more common than in men," said Dr. Thomas San Giovanni, an orthopedic surgeon and foot and ankle specialist at Doctors Hospital's Center for Orthopedics and Sports Medicine in Coral Gables.
San Giovanni, whom Ares has now turned to for treatment, said he sees four times the number of such foot problems in women than in men.
"Women's shoewear is obviously a lot different than men's shoewear," he said, "and it does put a lot more stress on the foot than men's shoes do."
In fact, the higher the heel, the more stress it places on the forefoot.
"It is estimated that a one-inch heel is 20 percent increased stress to the forefoot [than flat shoes], and two inches is 60 percent, and three inches is 75 percent increased stress, compared with a shoe that is flat," San Giovanni said.
Tight shoes are also a culprit, as they tend to force the foot into an irregular position and can promote deformity, he said.
Women's feet are subject to an array of different ailments. Among the most common: bunions, called hallux valgus; hallux rigidus — an early arthritic condition of the big toe that causes a painful, stiff big toe with restricted motion; and hammertoes, which are a joint contracture of the second to fifth toes, that causes them to be semi-flexed or crooked and tends to cause pain on the top of the toes and near the ball of the foot, San Giovanni said.
Another problem for women is posterior tibial tendon dysfunction, which is pain along the inner ankle and foot, in combination with a collapsed arch, San Giovanni said.
"It is often under-diagnosed," he said, "and the tendon tends to stretch out, and the arch collapses, and it changes the mechanics of the foot."
Dr. Steven Steinlauf, an orthopedic surgeon with a subspecialty in foot, ankle and leg problems, who is on staff at Memorial Healthcare System in Broward, said women may also experience neuromas, or pinched nerves in the foot; metatarsalgia — pain under the ball of the foot; or inflammation and instability of the metatarsal phalangeal, where the toe meets the foot.
Women's shoewear also can lead to tightness of the Achilles tendon, he said.
"If you're constantly wearing high-heeled shoes, it leads to a shortening of the Achilles tendon and tends to give you all of these different issues," said Steinlauf, who is also a clinical assistant professor at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.
For women, pain is usually the initial symptom of foot problems, and then gradual deformity.
As women age, the problems tend to worsen. Bunions may appear as early as adolescence, because of a hereditary predisposition, and may become more pronounced over the years, especially when coupled with improper footwear, San Giovanni said.
Hallux rigidus also worsens with time. "Most women usually don't run to the doctor right away," San Giovanni said. "They live with it for a while and then when it gets bad they come in."
Indeed, it is after their 40s that many women seek help for foot problems. Most women with conditions like metatarsalgia, and hammertoes are in their 40s, 50s and 60s, Steinlauf said.
"The foot takes a heck of a beating as you age," Steinlauf said.
Obesity can also lead to foot problems.
"People who do not take good care of their feet, using improper footwear, are overweight, do not stretch their Achilles routinely, and do not have a healthy lifestyle tend to have more problems with their feet," Steinlauf said.
A first, yet perhaps unpopular, remedy for women is to wear shoes with a moderate heel, of two inches or lower, that are wide enough that they do not squeeze the toes, Steinlauf advises. He also recommends doing exercises to stretch the Achilles tendon for as much as 20 minutes each day.
Doctors have an additional arsenal of treatments, with many non-surgical options.
After evaluating the foot issue and its cause, doctors say they can help alleviate pain with orthotics or padding, as well as anti-inflammatory injections or physical therapy.
"Surgery is reserved for when non-operative treatment fails or non-operative treatment would prove ineffective to even try," San Giovanni said.
In fact, surgery can lead to complications, as it did for Ares, who was previously treated elsewhere.
"Everyone wants the magic bullet, and they go to doctors that give them surgery," Steinlauf said.
"Only go to a surgical option when all else has failed and your quality of life is bad and you are in pain."

Taunton dad faces seven months away from family for epic fundraising challenge
10:00am Friday 24th January 2014 in News By Matthew Colledge
HE is a veteran of three tours of Afghanistan and two of Iraq.
Now, as he prepares for an epic six-month challenge which will involve ski-ing, sailing, cycling, canoeing and running across Europe, Taunton Marine Richie Hayden says: "I was born to do this."
Colour Sergeant Hayden, a dad-of-two who serves with 40 Commando at Norton Fitzwarren, is taking part in the Royal Marines 1664 Challenge, which will see a few hardy souls pushing themselves to the limit in some of the most testing conditions imaginable, to raise money for the Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund.
CSgt Hayden, a Marine of 18 years, has spent the past two weeks in Norway, preparing for the challenge which begins on February 2.
Back at home are wife Kirsty and children Alfie, aged six, and Holly, three.
CSgt Hayden said: "They are my life. I am not able to see them for seven months due to the training for the challenge and the duration of it.
"I have completed three tours of Afghanistan and two tours of Iraq, plus countless NATO tours, so my wife is fully supportive of me going away, but it is a testing time for my family and me."
The thought of the challenge would be enough to turn most people to jelly.
It begins with a 1664km cross-country ski from north to south Norway, in freezing temperatures.
Phase two is a 1,664-mile sail from Norway to Cadiz on board a Joint Services Challenger 67 yacht, which is likely to take the whole of April.
Then there is a 1664km cycle from Cadiz to the Normandy beaches, involving a crossing of the Pyrenees.
Phase four is a non-stop canoe across the English Channel, and the final challenge will see team members running 1664km around England and Scotland over 58 days, finishing with the RM 350 Corps marathon into London on July 25.
CSgt Hayden is one of only six people taking part in every leg of the challenge, but he says: "I was born to do this challenge.
"Everything about it is what I'm about."

Southern India where humanity surges on the streets of the city of Hyderabad as the crispness of a November morning creeps like a cat along the roads. A whole myriad of Indian life passes by. Women lay here and there on the pavement sound asleep, and a man is stretched out on the median strip, oblivious to the danger. The noise of the city produces a frenzied work of booming blasts, disconnected honks, shrill beeps, musical notes and weird duck calls. It seems as if Hyderabad drives blind and everyone is driving by sound only -- except, it seems, many are deaf.
I would like to offer my book of photographs, entitled "Intimate India," with accompanying text. I have a very close connection with many middle-class Indian families, and am fascinated with the Indian culture. My book illustrates through a collection of digital images a view of middle-class life in India which most people in the United States do not have the opportunity to see.
I like to think of each of my photographs as something more than a snapshot. My pictures are un-stylized and un-posed, which evoke fascination, and a unique view. All of my work is candid or taken on the go, and I try to create compelling, unforgettable, moving images that reveal the universality of human emotion. I look for beauty, also, but in essence, that is really a huge thing and far too large to fit into any one book. So I look for beauty through the people I photograph – young, old, man, woman, or child. It takes hundreds of shots to capture even a part of it, but that beauty is there in my photographs to be appreciated.
As you turn the pages of "Intimate India," you will accompany me as I make friends with the Indian people; you will hear my stories of adventure and artistry, and, best of all, you will see through my observant eye, the grandeur of the simplest of people and things. I feel that my book is going to be one that will elicit many viewings because a person will probably have a different impression each time he or she views my images.
I have photographed in Germany, England, Hungary, Portugal, and Iran, as well as throughout the United States. I was also an artist for Hallmark greeting cards for 18 years. My photographs have been in numerous publications and newspapers and I have won several photographic prizes. I had a photograph in the Day in the Life series "Texas 24/7" edited by Rick Smolan (DK Publishing ISBN 0-7566-0084-7). My articles and essays have been in many newspapers and magazines. And my non-fiction book, Once Upon a Bavarian Winter (Publish America - ISBN: 1591296412) has received excellent reviews and has sold well.
For a sampling of my photographs and writings you can view my web page at:

Windows Phone 8, which Microsoft partially unveiled this week, is the company's third version of its mobile OS. And for some experienced Windows Phone developers, Microsoft got it all right.
"Windows Phone has been full of innovations since day one, but there was also a lot of catching up to do to reach parity with iOS, Android and Microsoft's previous mobile platform, Windows Mobile. The time for catching up is over," says Nick Landry, senior product manager with Infragistics, a Cranbury, N.J. vendor of user interface development tools, and Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) for eight years with Microsoft's mobile platforms.
[ Also on InfoWorld: Windows Phone 8 smartphones to run Qualcomm's Snapdragon S4 chip. | Learn how to secure and manage workers' smartphones, tablets, and more with InfoWorld's Mobile Device Management (MDM) Deep Dive Report. | Stay abreast of key Microsoft technologies in our Technology: Microsoft newsletter. ]
(PICTURES: Microsoft's Surface tablet)
And for the first time, Windows Phone will have both the features and global reach to challenge Android and iOS. When it launches later this year, Windows Phone 8 will be available in more countries than iPhone is, according to Microsoft. Landry argues this will make Windows Phone a truly global alternative for both Android and iOS -- a "more secure and cohesive experience than Android" and, for many, a more affordable one than iOS.
For these code writers, Windows Phone 8 brings two broad benefits: new hardware options, and a more extensive software infrastructure that can support an array of sophisticated and highly integrated mobile applications.
On the hardware side, Windows Phone 8 adds two new screen resolutions (both high-definition), support for multi-core CPUs, removable MicroSD storage cards, and integrated Near-Field Communications (NFC) radio chips.
"The ability to take advantage of more powerful hardware in a phone form factor is pretty compelling," says Ginny Caughey, president of Carolina Software, a Wilmington N.C. vendor of waste management software. She, too, is a Microsoft Windows Phone Development MVP. To date, Windows Phone devices have used only a single-core Qualcomm processor, although to extremely good effect. Microsoft executives said this week that the next crop of Windows Phones, expected sometime this fall, will use the latest dual-core Qualcomm silicon.
"Android has been touting multicore phones for a while now, but they needed that just to provide a decent experience since the single-core Android phones were so sluggish and unresponsive," Landry says. "Looking at the 'Smoked by Windows Phone' campaign, with single-core Windows Phones smoking dual-core devices in everyday tasks almost 100 percent of the time, [and] multicore Windows Phones means unparalleled power & speed."

Texas Rangers manager Ron Washington has blessed the world, nearly five hours before the first pitch of Game 4 of the 2011 World Series, with his lineup against St. Louis Cardinals right-hander Edwin Jackson:
1. Ian Kinsler (R) 2B
2. Elvis Andrus (R) SS
3. Josh Hamilton (L) CF
4. Michael Young (R) DH
5. Adrián Beltré (R) 3B
6. Nelson Cruz (R) RF
7. David Murphy (L) LF
8. Mike Napoli (R) C
9. Mitch Moreland (L) 1B
Only one real change of note, as Mitch Moreland gets a nod instead of Yorvit Torrealba, who got the start against right-hander Kyle Lohse in Game 2 even though he's a right-handed batter.
What else is Ron Washington going to do? Well, he could move the gimpy Josh Hamilton -- who hasn't hit a home run in a month -- down in the lineup, or out of it completely. He could push David Murphy and Mitch Moreland up in the lineup one spot apiece, just to break up the right-handed hitters and make Tony La Russa's job just a tiny bit more difficult.
But Ron Washington doesn't do things like that. Ron Washington does things like this:

Gardening gaff as bulbs pulled up days after planting
1:30pm Tuesday 20th November 2012 in News By Jill Harding
A GARDENING gaff means that hundreds of bulbs planted just last week have been pulled up again.
Salisbury City Council staff planted the hyacinths in a raised bed near the toilets in Queen Elizabeth Gardens only days ago.
But, on Tuesday, contractors who are working on the park started demolishing the flowerbed.
"It's crazy," one Salisbury dog walker told the Journal. "They only planted them last week. I thought how lovely they would look when they bloom and just days later the whole flowerbed was being removed.
"What a waste of time."
The council's senior parks officer Chris Stringer admitted there had been a "communication breakdown".
"We thought that removing that flowerbed would be one of the last things the contractor did and the flowers would have time to come into bloom," he said.
"That didn't happen, it was removed earlier than we expected – we have lost of few hours of our workmen's time but all the bulbs will be salvaged and planted in Churchill Gardens instead."
The four-month improvement project in Queen Elizabeth Garden is now underway and will include new paths and entrances, better access, a rose garden, woodland trail and a new floral feature.

Red Rumours - Liverpool FC's online watchdog
If you haven't seen this already, fellow LFC blogger/fan, Marty MacSharp, has started a site to track all of the players that are linked with Liverpool. The mission of the site is "To statistically find the best sources for transfer rumours. Liverpool fans should not be subject to false rumours and out-right fiction. It is our goal to rate media sources in order for fans to be aware of who is trustworthy or not." So, check it out on Facebook and Twitter and help the cause. If you come across a player rumored to be linked with LFC, send the info with the source their way so they can start to compile the info. Also, they are looking for people to join their team and help compile news and keep track of things. If you want to officially join their team, you can apply here. [Sam, not sure if you are looking to partner anything or anyone with Anfield Asylum, but I thought this might be a interesting idea to get Anfield Asylum connected with. Maybe Marty could guest post his entries on his site as well as Anfield Asylum? Just a thought.]

Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder (edition 2012)

Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder by Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I heard an interview with the author and it was very interesting. So far the prologue is interesting as well, I will see if the rest of the book lives up to the hype.
Excellent book. Requires hard thinking and facing up to the truth.
'Anti-fragility tells us how to take advantage of catastrophic events, it is very much a sequel to The Black Swan it builds on many of the Black Swan's themes.'
In The Black Swan, Taleb explained the existence of high impact rare events beyond the realms of normal expectations. In his new book, Taleb goes much further. He tells us how to live in a world that is unpredictable and chaotic, and how to thrive during moments of disaster. Antifragility is about loving randomness, uncertainty, opacity, adventure and disorder, and benefitting from a variety of shocks. It is a new word because it is a new concept. Many of the greatest breakthroughs in human endeavour come from the trial and error that is part of antifragility. And some of the best systems we know of, including evolution, have antifragility at their heart. Medicine, economics, even politics, could all be improved by embracing it. It is often what really drives innovation and invention. Our failure to realize this has even led to many huge historical misunderstandings about religion and belief. So, how can we take advantage of antifragility? Taleb ranges over ideas and real-life situations, from why debt brings fragility, why if we lose nothing we will gain nothing, and why we should detest the lack of accountability at the heart of capitalism. He shows us that chaos is what makes us human. (source: Bol.com)
This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.Taleb is a tail event of his own, a challenge to the accepted methodologies using prediction through point estimates and reliance on squares-based statistics as input to linear models. The right way to avoid bigger crises - financial and otherwise - is to encourage systems that benefit from volatility and feedback mechanisms. For example, "Depriving political (and other) systems of volatility harms them, causing eventually greater volatility of the cascading type" (p. 81). Along the way, he tears apart major theories in economics and finance, introduces some street-smart characters who really run the world, and sketches out an aura around himself that the reader might like and might not. In either case, Taleb won't care; he would much rather the reader accept his ideas for the sake of us all.
Sometimes Nassim Nicholas Taleb is led astray by his contrarianism, but then that is his point: If you don't take risks, you don't get results. This is a bold, entertaining, clever book, richly crammed with insights, stories, fine phrases and intriguing asides. Does it achieve its goal, or does it cram and twist the world on to a Procrustean bed of one theory, thereby somewhat contradicting its own empirical and pragmatic outlook? I am not sure. I will have to read it again. And again.

"The acclaimed author of the influential bestseller The Black Swan, Nicholas Nassim Taleb takes a next big step with a deceptively simple concept: the "antifragile." Like the Greek hydra that grows two heads for each one it loses, people, systems, and institutions that are antifragile not only withstand shocks, they benefit from them. In a modern world dominated by chaos and uncertainty, Antifragile is a revolutionary vision from one of the most subversive and important thinkers of our time"--… (more)

Re: We Need a Little Help
Well I guess it is time for an update.
Abbigail was seen today by Dr. Giberson a Gastro-Enterologist (my own specialist and he is very very good so we are happy), and the preliminary diagnosis was confirmed. Abby suffers from laryngomalasia (sp?), which is a softening of the larnyx structure which allows the larnyx to collapse. This can cause the problems that Abby experienced. Children with this affliction usually outgrow the problem by adulthood when the larnyx actually hardens up. However, because this condition causes other problems, such as nutritional, dietary, esophageal, reflux, this can lead to a weakend immune system leaving the children very susceptible to opportunistic infections that create large problems. In many cases, the kids systems are so weak that they cannot successfully fight these types of infections and can lead to premature death. So this is a huge issue for us.
To complicate it all, Abby is lactose intolerant, alergic to soy substitutes and may be susceptible to JD as well. Boy oh boy, this is difficult.
Please would you keep Abby in your prayers as we await the Pediatricians treatment options. We are thankful that her Pediatrician also happens to be Amanda's allergy specialist and treated her for her presistent staff infections 2 years ago.. so we have a lot of trust in him.
Abby is one of our Lord's little ones, and I know that He is watching over her, but prayers always help and we pray that you will continue to pray with us for a good outcome to this problem. Abby is really the apple of her grandparent's eye and we are so worried about her..
Thanks my friends, I truly appreciate all you do for our family
Peace (+)

Even if I didn't have a young grand daughter of my own your petition would touch my heart. Abby is blessed to have God fearing family members that know the importance of a strong faith. It also sounds like she is receiving excellent medical attention.
Abby and your family will be in my prayers. Please keep us posted as you have time.

Re: We Need a Little Help
Dear Rudi and family,
We are praying for you all down here in Georgia, and will continue to pray for strength, healing and good health.
Your notes ring so familiar with me...and I understand how you feel. As a granddaddy, NOTHING else matters than the health and well-being of our little ones.
Hang in there brother...God only lays down challenges for those strong enough to endure them, or for those he wants to be strong...even when it seems so unfair having to do so. But there is nothing fair about life, and these are the challenges we must face to one day enter the kingdom of the Lord.
Know we are with you...peace.

Re: We Need a Little Help
Thanks so very much, it is appreciated. As you know now, sometimes kids get sent home until the next episode, so as with Carson, Abby has been sent home at least until her next checkup in about 2 weeks. She sees her regular pediatrician then, the on-call one was only for the hospital stay. So we will be watching her closely and trying to make sure that she does not get too vocal. Quiet is the buzz word I guess.
We will be keeping our fingers crossed, but also remaining steadfast in prayer that Abby continues to remain stable.
Thank you all my friends for the best wishes and prayers. They did wonders. Abby is such a happy little girl. She is 13 weeks today..

Girl Model: A Not-So-Pretty Picture-------
For all the glitter and glamour the modeling industry offers, there's an equal and opposite dark side: the threat of exploitation, unfair contracts, and poor working conditions. But rarely has the industry looked as dark as it does in Girl Model, Ashley Sabin and David Redmon's new documentary, which debuts on PBS on March 24. Focusing on Ashley Arbaugh, a former American model-turned-scout who specializes in finding Russian girls for work in Japan, and 13-year-old Nadya Vall, her latest discovery, the film offers a stinging critique of one of the industry's shadowy quarters—which Sabin says is far more wide-reaching than the film's narrow focus suggests. Here, Sabin speaks to Style.com about the upcoming documentary.
How did you see Nadya change from the beginning of the film to the end?
David and I like to see the film as an initiation process. When you take these young girls out of their social support, their social network, and school, and you put them into a foreign environment without very many adults to guide them, it sort of conditions them to believe that those negative feelings they are having are OK and normal. So the transition that we saw with Nadya was that she was starting to accept what we saw as not appropriate. At the same time, I hope Nadya does well, and I hope that she is able to make money from her career. But if she doesn't make money, without any schooling, she doesn't really have any alternative.
The story the film tells is a specific one. Do you think such practices are widespread throughout the industry?
I think it even exists in New York. I think it exists in Paris. I think it exists in Italy. The reason I think that is because we did a bunch of screenings with the Model Alliance, and afterward the comments that we would get—from models, agents, fashion designers, fashion photographers—were not only the same story, they were worse. That surprised me—that there are all these people in this industry who are maybe forced to turn a blind eye. Maybe they don't participate in this act, but they know about it.

Dear all,
I am currently supporting an SMS application for CIMD and sometimes i get a strange behaviour from the smsc. This has to do with the fact that when i start the application and send the login message with sequence 1 i get a nack response with sequence 3 from the SMSC. In addition to this , i sometimes get a nack response from the SMSC with an incorect sequence, e.g. i send sequence 5 and get a nack with 7. If there was something wrong with the messages that i sent then i should get a nack response of the same sequence which i sent but i do not. Instead i get a nack response with the next sequence. The response for the message that i originally sent never comes and surprisingly all the other messages that i subsequently send work fine.
Remember that before i get the response from the smsc i do not send any other message, just to be sure that this issue is not related to incorrect windowing usage.
It is really very strange because it happens very rarely and without any changes made by me, prior to running the application.
I would appreciate any thoughts.
Thank you

Joba to go on regular rest, start Sunday
Yankees look ahead on young righty with eye on innings
NEW YORK -- Yankees manager Joe Girardi announced prior to Tuesday's game that Joba Chamberlain will make his next scheduled start on Sunday against the White Sox.
Chamberlain made his 24th start of the season against the Rangers on Tuesday after eight days off, and Girardi said the plan is to continue to give the 23-year-old days off whenever possible.
The Yanks' skipper also refuted any ideas about sending Chamberlain, who was lights-out in 30 relief appearances in 2008, back to the bullpen.
"We have him scheduled starting for the rest of the season," Girard said. "At times, he will go on extra rest."
While Girardi wouldn't get specific in regards to an innings limit for Chamberlain, the Yankees have made it clear in the past that they would prefer to keep the young right-hander at around 160 innings. Chamberlain tossed 100 1/3 innings as a rookie last season, making 12 starts in between two separate stints in the bullpen.
He entered Tuesday's start 8-3 with a 3.98 ERA, and despite past struggles against the Rangers -- he holds a career 7.11 ERA -- Girardi said his rested young star will not be on a special pitch count.
In his first six starts following the All-Star break, Chamberlain went 4-1 with a 3.35 ERA, holding opponents to an American League-best .193 average.
The rest of the Yankees' rotation was slightly shuffled for the front-end of the series against the White Sox, with CC Sabathia pitching on Friday and Sergio Mitre on Saturday.

Many low-income families struggle with stable housing and frequently have to move due to foreclosures, rent increases, or other financial setbacks. Children in these families can experience lasting negative effects, especially those who are young and still developing basic learning and social skills. A joint NRC-IOM committee held a workshop in June 2009 to examine these issues, highlight patterns in current research, and discuss how to develop a support system for at-risk children.

Bon Jovi released their first album in 1984 but it was until their legendary third album, "Slippery When Wet", that they really experienced creative and (major) commercial success. From that point right through to Jon Bon Jovi's fantastic second solo album in '97 the band, as individuals and as a group, continued to grow and evolve as artist, musicians and songwriters and always took the band into new areas and always trying ever more ambitious endeavours. Something strange happened with the bands massively successful "comeback" album "Crush" in 2000. The forward evolution stopped dead in it's tracks. Bon Jovi went from a band that created powerful, socially conscious, ambitious and deep music to a fairly middle of the road pop-rock group. Now Crush had it's moments but it wasn't a true rock record. With 2002's "Bounce" the band tried to get back to a proper rocking sound and to some extent they succeeded, and it is a good album but untimately the album along with Crush only highligted how far they had fallen from the hights of the previous decade. Reasons for this, complacency? Perhaps. A poor producer? Most probably, but what would "Have a Nice Day" bring? More of the same or would Bon Jovi return to producing the rock music they are capable of? Thankfully, I'm very happy to say that thanks to a unstopable drive to return to the top of the rock scene and employing the services of the world hottest producer John Shanks, the band have produced what is undoubtedly their best album.
The album opens with the first single, HAVE A NICE DAY. This is viciously pulsating rock anthem, that right off the bat tells us Bon Jovi are backing rocking bettter then ever. Inspired by George Bush's re-election Jon was able to condense all his anger, bitterness and dissillusion into an incredibley optimistic meesage of hope and resilience. A great opener.
I WANNA BE LOVED is a dark and moody rocker that follows nicely on from track 1. This is without doubt the most personal song Jon has ever written. Directed at his parents, in it he reveals the emotional pain he suffered as a child, as seen in the lyric "I can forgive you/ But I wont Relive You/ I ain't the same scared kid I used to be". Nice to see this other side of him.
WELCOME TO WHEREVER YOU ARE slows things down slightly but this is a remarkabley beautiful song. It's such a powerful song and I'm sure just about everyone will be able to relate to it. Good choice for a second single.
WHO SAY'S YOU CAN'T GO HOME? is an upbeat accoutically driven rock song in the vain of Someday I'll Be Saturday Night. A devilishly simple song, it contains some fantastically clever and honest lyrics. It's already a live favourite and not hard to see why. This might be the catchiest song they've ever made.
LAST MAN STANDING get's things rocking hard again and is the best song on the album. Actually it's quite possibly the best song the band have ever recorded. Jon wrote this one as a vehicle to express all his anger and bitterness at what the music industry has become in the last few years. Written as a tribute to Bob Dylan, this song possesses the best lyrics ever written by Jon.
BELLS OF FREEDOM follows close on the heels of Last Man Standing in terms of quality. Another song obviously inspired by the 2004 US election, this a very dark accoustic number that contain another universally positive message. "In the dark I have seen that the sun still shines on the one who believes", sings Jon Bon Jovi. This could be the most powerful song they've made and is to Have a Nice Day what Something To Believe In was to These Days.
WILDFLOWER is one that has really grown on me. The lyrics are written in a very poetic way, full of metaphors and similes so obviously it takes a few listens to really appreciate it and truly evertime I hear it, it gets better and better, to the point now where it is fast becoming my favourite song. It's as close as you'll get to a love song on the album but certainly isn't a traditional power-ballad. A definite highlight and is something very different then we'd be used to from Bon Jovi.
ONE LAST CIGARETTE the is without doubt one of the most unique songs that this band has made and is sure to divide fans in a 'marmite' way. Personally I love it. It's got this massive pop-rock levity to it and features a fantastic guitar solo and hugely infectious chorus.
I AM is another dark and moody mid-tempo hard rocker. This is a very quintesential anthemic Bon Jovi song that could become a massive hit single. Really wouldn't have felt out of place of the These Days album.
COMPLICATED is an ultra-modern rock song that sound like it was greatly inspired by The Killers (a band Jon really likes). This a superb song that has "Hit Single" written all over it.
NOVOCAINE is another infectious, high-octane rock song. This song is a man's song, no doubt about. Every guy will love this one. It was inspired by one of the band members who's going through a divorce at the moment and Jon has written a truly heartfelt rock song that contains my favourite lyric on the album. "I guess there'll be no happy endings/ When "once upon" is doing time/ There's a different kind of meaning now to Livin' On a Prayer".
The album ends with another very modern up-tempo rock song. STORY OF MY LIFE is another very honest and introspective song about Jon's life much like he did with Just older on Crush. Highlited by the great lyrics in the chorus, "I know that no I'm not alright/ But I'll be OK/ Cause anything can / Everything can happen / That's the story of my life".
On the UK edition we get 2 bonus songs. Dirtty Little Secret has me constantly scratching my head as to why this wasn't included on the album because not only is it one of the best songs on the disc, it would undoubtedly be a massive hit single. It another slightly tounge-in-cheek rock song in the vein of You Give Love a Bad Name but much, much better. The second bonus track is a song called UNBREAKABLE and when I heard it first a couple months ago, I really liked it but following these 13 classic it's made to look very weak. It just dosen't have the depth or creativeness of the previous songs and dosen't even suit the sound of the album.
"Have a Nice Day" is a treat for all the senses. Instantly likable, deeply emotional and moving and some very visual songs. This has taken one giant leap to return the band in the ever forward moving direction they were going by the end of the ninties and has surpassed my wildest expectations by actually being superior to their '95 album "These Days". What I love most about it is how they're not trying to be something they're not. This isn't a band trying to recreat success they had in the past, it's a band that has just created their most modern and contemporary album to date and that surely tells you what direction this band is looking. The two big questions now are: 1) Will the longtime fans embrace this new, modern rock sound and 2) Will the record company take a chance and release a third single that highlights this new sound or stick to playing it safe by releasing one of the more classic sounding songs. Here's hoping this album is a major success because Bon Jovi are back on the road to great things and I hope they stay on it for a long, long time.

A&E pressure eases off
Updated 11:20am Tuesday 18th February 2014 in News By Bill Tanner, Reporter
PRESSURE that put A&E at Hereford County Hospital on high alert last week has eased off over recent days.
Though 126 patients turned up for treatment last Sunday alone, that compares with a daily average of 145-150 since the start of the month.
The county hospital has now closed the temporary "escalation areas" set up to cope with A&E numbers, but Wye Valley NHS Trust (WVT) warned today (Tues) that there remained a real risk of high alert status being restored.
WVT said too many patients were still presenting for treatment that didn't need A&E including "coughs, colds, bumps and grazes" on the evidence of last week's rush.
The patient surge saw A&E taking take "serious health conditions" only with other cases directed to alternatives including minor injury units and pharmacies.
Recent weeks have seen a run on A&E that even the hospital's new clinical assessment unit - opened at the end of last year - is struggling to slow.
WVT put patient safety action plans in place and clinical teams again had to postpone operations - at least over this week - to meet urgent treatment demand.
Figures for December show A&E attendances increased with numerous spikes in emergency demand.
Over that month, A&E attendances averaged around 130 a day and ranged from 96 to 193.

|Time for a change?
|Friday, October 19, 2012 12:19 PM
Almost four years ago, despite our differences — in politics, religion, and ideology — this country elected Barack Obama. The evening of his election was an historic moment for all Americans. We were proud to be Americans. It was a warm night, candles were lit, people were holding hands and tears were shed. This great country stood up and did something that many believed impossible — we elected a black American man to the most important and powerful position in the world. We believed, or wanted to believe, that this relatively unknown, highly charismatic, outsider had the hope and audacity to reach across race, religion, national origin, and yes even political affiliation and was going to heal this great nation.
