A flu epidemic is sweeping the nation and clogging hospitals and health clinics in Southwest Florida. We found out how the situation is shaping up here.
Health officials we spoke with Friday say all the news of people getting sick from the flu is really driving people into their offices.
"News travels fast," said Dan Cundiff, President of the Visiting Nurses Association.
This time of year, he says it's typically slow at the VNA. But 2013 has started off at a fast pace.
"We had 18 walk-ins yesterday and three in the first five minutes today," Cundiff said. "We expect to do 15 to 20 a day until things slow down."
"They are seeing the news they are seeing that the CDC has put Florida in the highest level of possible incidents," Cundiff added. Internal Medicine Associates' offices are seeing an uptick in patients as well.
"We have seen volumes almost double since the media has attention on the flu and the cautions patients should be taking," said Mike Biel, an administrator with IMA.
He says even their own doctors and employees have gotten sick with the flu.
"It's the speed at which the flu is being passed around is a lot different than it used to be," he said.
To help prevent it from spreading, they are offering masks and hand sanitizer to people who haven't contracted it.
But experts say perhaps the best prevention is the shot itself.
"Two out of the three strains that the CDC is reporting is in the vaccine," Cundiff explained.
The Lee County Health Department says they haven't heard of any shortages of the flu vaccine - but it could happen.
"If they don't have the flu now, then probably it's a good time to get the vaccine for anyone," Biel said.
Experts we spoke with say the contact zone to catch any germs is within six feet.
They added it's easy for many people to come into contact with the flu by touching objects they might not think twice about – things like seatbelts on a work vehicle, door handles and locks. Watch the video above for more examples.

Fr. Peter-Michael Preble offers more thoughts on the recent OCL conference. Fr. Peter writes: The first point, and I said this in my sermon yesterday, is that I believe the American Orthodox Church is on the cusp of greatness. I think we are standing in the door way of a new something (I can't seem to find the right word) -- generation maybe, era perhaps, explosion...not really sure. I say this because we have some great young leaders emerging in the church. People like Metropolitan Jonah, Fr. Justin Matthews of FOCUS North America and others are injecting new excitement and energy into the American Church. We are at the threshold of becoming a truly American Church and not just a small immigrant community. I am reminded of the history of the Roman Catholic Church in Boston. The signs used to read "Irish Need Not Apply" Then the church came into her own. The Roman Church under the leadership of visionaries like Richard Cushing of Boston.

Reviews for Garlic-Onion Cheese Spread
Sort By :
A really good dip, although I did make a few changes - 4 -5 tbsp. preserves, 1/4 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp minced garlic, 1/4 c sour cream (next time would try 1/2 c so it's smoother to spread). Great w/ Club multigrain crackers and lots for 6 people or more.
Everyone LOVED this dip. I added and extra tablespoon of apricot preserves and a friend mentioned she added onion powder to her version as well. Enjoy!
I decided to try this recipe, because I wanted something a little bit different for our small group. It was a huge hit with everyone, and people went back for seconds and thirds. I did add 1/2 a cup of sour cream, to make it a little more dippable, and we served it with crackers and veggies. Will definitely make this again!
I made this last night to share with friends at a graduation celebration. It is great! The preserves give it just a hint of sweetness, the green onions added a certain something. We had it with pretzels and cubes of beer bread. It's a keeper!
i made this for super bowl only thing i did not add the garlic it was so yummy i served it with wheat thins every one that tryed it loved it thank u

Brendan Rogers has recently said that his preferred style of play -- with a strong emphasis on maintaining possession, and quickly pressuring the ball once possession is lost -- is not immutable. He has said that you adapt your tactics to the players you have, not the other way around. Nevertheless, it seems clear that he was hired because of his tactical nous. With Rogers' hire FSG seems to have cast aside their previous model of progression -- traditional EPL values -- for a new model -- bringing a particular type of continental football to the EPL. Their thinking seems to be that we cannot beat ManU, Chelsea, or ManCity by playing their game; they simply have too deep of pockets. We'll never be able to best Mancini's varient on catenaccio, SAF's team-first sacrificial dedication, or Chelsea's never-ending stream of strikeforce. What we can do is stake our own ground. That's the only way to compete.
I know that I was not alone in my frustration with Kenny's lack of tactical experimentation. I found this curious because during his "interim" phase he was keen to play with the squad composition and formation. In particular, he enjoyed pretty strong results in the 3-5-2 during his first half-season back in charge. But last year he seemed stuck in his ways, even when they weren't working. This was problematic because the tactics seemed to not match the personnel: Downing, whose primary benefit is his crossing ability, would often play without a target man. Carroll would not play much, and when he did it was frequently without the best crossers on the team: Gerrard and Downing. The team seemed intent on playing down the wing, but without a target man in the middle -- and without anything approaching a winger on the right side -- it was so often inept. The results clearly suffered.
Why bring this up? Because Rogers has been brought in to change this. His preferred style is to control possession, pressure high up the pitch, and score goals through a series of short passes that eventually unlock defenses. All fine and good, but this style requires particular types of players who can both understand the system and thrive in it. The question is: do we have them?
In short, I think the answer is "Not really". At least, not at some key positions, and not with some key people in the lineup. Some LFC players will benefit from a new system, but some will likely not. Here, as I see it, is a rundown:
- Reina: He should thrive in this system for two reasons: because he is an excellent sweeper-keeper, which the maintenance of a high line requires, and because his distribution is excellent.
-Johnson: I think he'll be fine in this system, although it's not clear that it actually plays to his strengths. Over the years I've become convinced that Johnson is generally better and smarter than whoever he's been paired with on the right wing, but when he's had an offensive impact it's generally been by going alone. That's anathema in a tiki-taka system. But he is an offensive threat from the fullback position, which is required, and he makes good runs.
-Skrtel: He's fine. He's the shore-everything-up CB. Think Puyol. Doesn't have to do much except be the backstop, prevent the counterattacks, and get the ball to the CM to re-start the drives.
-Agger: Should thrive. He's always wanted to play more from the back, and this is his chance. I don't honestly think that he's as good bringing the ball forward as he thinks he is, but it's still an additional weapon.
-Enrique: I don't see how he helps the team in this type of system. He is not an offensive threat in any way. He is not a great defender. His crossing ability is pedestrian at best. During the last season he did not combine well with the central midfield or the left winger, whether it was Downing (usually) or Maxi or Bellamy.
-Lucas: TBD. Lucas is great at cleaning up other peoples' messes. He's good at making the simple, safe pass. That's valuable. He's not good at unlocking defenses. He's not good at making runs in the box. He's not good at shots from distance (or from anywhere else, for that matter). I love Lucas as a player, and I think he can have a role in this system, but he might need to adapt a bit. Tiki-taka is a parry-and-thrust system; Lucas parries, but he does not thrust. Either others will have to compensate for that, or he'll have to grow his game.
-Gerrard: TBD as well. Tiki-taka requires patience. Tiki-taka requires discipline. Tiki-taka abolishes gambling. These are not Stevie's strong suits, at least traditionally (I'll grant that he's picked his spots well so far in this year's Euros.) I think Stevie has the skill and smarts to thrive in this system, but does he have the demeanor? I'm not sure.
-Downing: Probably no role in this system. His strengths are neglected entirely by it, and his ability to adapt is not great.
-Henderson: I actually think he'll do great in this scheme, given time to adapt and grow. He has footballing sense, he has positional awareness, he has the ability to pass and move, and at times he's had a nose for goal (himself) or for putting someone else through. There will be some growing pangs, but I think he's well suited to it.
-Suarez: This isn't the best system for him. It doesn't incentivize individual creativity, nor high-risk/high-reward playmaking. That's what Suarez does, and it's what he can't do if this system is going to work. He'll have to be more disciplined in every facet of his game, and I'm honestly not sure if he's capable of it. Tiki-taka does not work with loose cannons.
-Carroll: I think he can work, but he'll need to improve his hold up play and distribution. Last year he showed signs of skill in this area, but it was inconsistent (to say the least). It will need to improve. He'll also have to provide consistent defensive pressure against the CBs of the opposition... something he got better at last year as the season went on. He also will need to time his runs better, since it will no longer be as simple as meeting a lazy cross in the air.
-Adam: No role. He's horrible at every aspect of this.
-Aquiliani: I think he'd thrive in this system, but who knows if he'll get a chance.
-Cole: I actually think he might do well in this system too. But see above.
-Bellamy: I can see this going either way. His best move seems to be to make a bee-line for the byline and then whip one in. That's not tiki-taka. But he can work a maneuver too, when he wants too. And he seems to have a strong understanding of the game. If he's told to with within a system, and there are other pieces around him capable of it, then he might be good at it.
-Kelly: Doesn't play to his strengths.
-Carra: A liability in this system.
-Coates: TBD.
-Kuyt: Would've been terrible in this system.
-Maxi: Would likely have been excellent in it.
Bottom line: Tiki-taka is much more dependent on versatile midfielders and fullbacks than dedicated wingers, CDM, or strikers. If the system is working well then goals should come from all over the field, not from a single player. Above all else the system requires discipline and patience. I'm concerned that a number of key players -- Gerrard, Suarez, Agger, Adam, etc. -- don't have enough.
I guess we'll see.

Fewer Bolton Council drivers have car crashes after crackdown (From The Bolton News)
Fewer Bolton Council drivers have car crashes after crackdown
9:25am Monday 17th February 2014 in News By Dale Haslam, Reporter
FEWER council staff are being involved in road crashes after a crackdown that has saved millions of pounds.
Local authority workers were involved in 174 smashes in 2008, leading to £462,769.50 being paid out by insurance companies representing the council.
Now figures obtained by The Bolton News under The Freedom of Information Act show a drastic reduction each year since, and there were just 68 collisions in 2013 triggering insurance payouts of £27,344.
The saving does not directly impact on taxpayer spending, because ins-urance firms pay out the cash after the council has paid regular premiums.
But fewer accidents means the council pays less for insurance if its vehicles cause fewer accidents and it means staff and vehicles spend less time off the road.
Council bosses welcomed the figures after spending years addressing the issue.
They have taken measures including not employing lorry drivers unless they have special training on defensive driving and avoiding accidents.
A council spokesman added: "Also, whenever an incident does occur involving one of our drivers, it is investigated thoroughly by our in-house team. We interview drivers as soon as we can following an incident while the facts are still fresh in their minds.
"We find that by doing this we are giving our insurers the best possible opportunity to defend claims.
"We are pleased that the number of claims against our drivers has reduced significantly over the past five years."
The figures show that 160 crashes in 2009 triggered payouts of £543,079; 144 crashes in 2010 meant payouts of £412,249; in 2011, there were 129 crashes with payouts of £250,029; and in 2012, 82 incidents prompted payouts of £127,440.
The cash paid out covered damage, injury, vehicle hire charges, solicitor fees, medical fees and expert fees.
Bolton Council's transport representative, Cllr David Chadwick, said: "I applaud those who have made these positive changes and those who drive on behalf of the council for implementing them.
"I recently took an advanced motorist test and passed and I feel a better driver for it.
"The council is having to be more efficient and I think that has focused the minds of department heads when it comes to issues like reducing the number of crashes."

It does not say in the article that they are sent on courses - Cllr Chadwick intimated that he had undertaken such a course, but did not say that it was at the Council's expense.
Obviously someone didn't tell the council worker in the Bolton Council van that I was next to at the lights on Friday on the junction of Tonge Moor Road and Crompton Way any of this... Waiting for the green light, they were over revving and jerking forward and zoomed off as quick as they could... I'm fairly sure that's not taught in Advanced Driving Courses...

Select Route:
I thought that of all of the routes that I have done in the Fishers (NE ridge, Phantom, Finger) this was certainly the most exciting. It does not have the same exposure as Phantom, nor the history of the finger, nor the height of Kingfisher. However, west side story is a very fun climb that deserves to be more popular. At no point does the aid become too hard for a competent C3 leader nor is the free climbing at all too death defying. One note of caution; someone someone should go up and start replacing the belay bolts, some are very old and dubious. Also, just a side note before I get to the topo, I think that this will be the next line in the fishers to go free. Very possible if the belays were improved. Now onto the business. Also, descending the route was not enjoyable. There needs to be another way to go about that. Also, another note: I will grade each pitch with a fun, zesty, uber zesty rating as opposed to the YDS. It is the fishers after all, each pitch can change a lot. I will note the harder aid pitches and free pitches though.Location: Begins on the left side of the north face of cottontail below the saddle between cottontail and echo. P1- Fun- Begin on some slabs and work up obvious chimney system to spacious ledge. P2- Fun- Use a few old studs to get into a squeeze chimney. Don't get stuck!P3-Fun- Descent Aiding, a few mud moves. Follow the left side crack and then move right to a belay. P4-Zesty/uber zesty- Good aiding and some exciting free moves. Maybe made more exciting because I was rope soloing, I don't know. Just dig the mantle. this pitch will take you to the giant bivy ledge on the saddle.P5-Zesty-Fun aiding, but short pitch straight up arete on the west end of the saddle.P6- Fun- Good aiding, but no particularily zesty moves, the chimney at the top is cool though.P7- Uber Zesty- The aid pitch combined with a sweet traverse to a blind placement. The exposure is becoming more awesomeP8 Zesty/uber zesty- a free pitch with some enticing off-width. Combine this with the chimney marked Pitch 9 in the Bjornstad guide for one long pitch. P9 Fun- Go around to the south side of the tower and climb a wide crack to a 1/4 incher to the summit.
Double Set of Cams, Double Set of Stoppers including RP's, Tie Offs, Ball-nuts, tri-cams. Basic Fishers rack should suffice. If you are uncomfortable with wide cracks you might want to bring two number 5's and two number 4's but not neccessary. One of both should suffice.

On the outside, it looks as it always has. But on the inside, the Islamic Center of Greater Toledo is a work in progress.
"Its a big job, its a big building," Cherrefe Kadri, President of the Islamic Center said. "There are a lot of nooks and crannies but its coming along and it looks real good."
Right now, construction equipment is in the parking lot as the clean up continues. But back in September, a much different scene.
Fire broke out in the second floor prayer room, a fire investigators say was intentionally set.
Randy Linn of Indiana was eventually arrested and charged with arson and hate crimes. Linn originally pleaded guilty, however he has now requested to change his plea.
"He certainly has that right," Kadri told 13abc. "We just have to let that process continue and justice will be served whatever justice looks like."
Leaders at the Islamic Center say they're working hard to get everything back to normal as soon as possible. But for now the gates remained locked and the center is shut down. The hope is to have it opened by the spring.
In the meantime, students from the Islamic Center school are still taking classes at Owens and services are being held in other mosques. Kadri says its been a difficult rid, but the community has rallied together making the process a little easier.
"We're very fortunate to be in the greater Toledo area," she said.
As for Linn, he told the court he was depressed when he pleaded guilty. The deal called for him to serve 20 years in prison. There is no word when the judge will address his request to change his plea.

BOSTON (AP) - Democratic senate candidate Elizabeth Warren has raked in more campaign cash than rival Sen. Scott Brown, but the Republican incumbent is outpacing Warren in donations from political action committees.
An Associated Press review of each candidate's most recent filings with the Federal Election Commission shows Brown collected more than $451,000 from PACs in the six-week period between mid-August and the end of September.
That's compared with nearly $83,000 for Warren during the same period.
Overall Brown has collected nearly $3.1 million from the political committees - more than five times as much as Warren's $559,000.
Brown drew support from PACs representing financial, pharmaceutical and other corporate interests. Warren drew heavily from union-affiliated committees.
The Massachusetts race is the most expensive Senate contest in the country, with each candidate having raised tens of millions.

The members of River City Church did their part on Make a Difference Day by hosting the 4th Saturday -- an event they would like to continue every month.
The event offered free health and dental screenings and gave out haircuts and emergency kits, all to make a difference in the community.
"We've had some of the local missions show up and they are taking part in the free hair cuts and giveaways," Mallory Martin said. "We had Earth Fare come and give out free snacks and so they're getting to have some of those and we have some ladies here in the prayer room just giving prayer for people who might need it."
The event today was from 9 a.m. to noon and the church hopes to put on the 4th Saturday event every month from here on out.

"ABCNEWS has a richer heritage because of his many contributions to the network."
Good night David. Rest in everlasting peace!

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- The Ohio transportation department is creating a new division focused on finding alternative forms of funding for road and bridge projects and other costs.
The department says it could save about $200 million annually through cost reduction, operating some rest areas as businesses and offering sponsorships and naming rights for certain properties and roadways. It says more could be saved through public-private partnerships and other means.
Department Director Jerry Wray on Tuesday announced the Division of Innovative Delivery.
The department seeks funds for several projects, including the Brent Spence Bridge connecting Cincinnati to northern Kentucky over the Ohio River, an interchange for U.S. Route 36 and state Route 37 on I-71 north of Columbus, a Portsmouth bypass in Scioto County and a Rickenbacker connector in Pickaway County.

Please donate here and designate that your donation is for Project Agent Orange/TO/VAVA and Contact Us so we can place your name in our Hall of Hope and Fame. Thank you.
The USA had a few erroneous policies: they dropped the very dangerous and potent poison Agent Orange on areas of crops because they felt the farmers were feeding the Viet Cong and the North Vietnamese, but, in fact, the local people only grew enough crops to feed their families. Because of the damage Agent Orange caused, there was massive starvation of the very population the USA wanted as allies. Many people were forced to leave their homes and villages and migrate to cities creating large slums as the influx of individuals outnumbered the available housing units.
Today the damage continues. The two companies that caused this holocaust—and it is affecting American soldiers who fought in this war and their children and grandchildren even today—hardly paid any compensation to any of the victims. Monsanto and Dow Chemical made a lot of money selling Agent Orange to the USA and became even richer for it. At a minimum, these two corporations should be active players in the clean-up efforts in Viet Nam and at the maximum, they should be paying for the clean-up efforts and assisting all of the victims—American and Vietnamese alike.
Please go through this site and allow your eyes to open to the irresponsibility of major corporations, the destruction of war that continues long after a war ends, and the victims--including generations of American and Vietnamese children. This is not a not for profit site, but donations are needed because someone must help these individuals and make their lives better. Agent Orange is still causing serious problems--its now in the fourth generation and both Vietnamese and Americans are giving birth to babies with such terrible birth defects something must be done.
This is why this site has been developed--it's a cooperative between Americans and Vietnamese.

If the Redskins give the Bucs a heavy dose of Duckett then it could be a very long day. Duckett is exactly the sort of back who does well against our undersized front. If I were coaching Washington, I'd be handing it off to Duckett all day long, then when I had a chance or two I'd throw it to whomever is being covered by Torrie Cox.
It ain't biased, we suck rocks. I don't think PK hates the Bucs, he hates the way we are playing and can't bring himself to project many points for this offense.
christ we can put 10 up on the panthers. Gimmie a break the skins d is worse off than carolina.

Man's best friend, indeed.
On Thursday, Steven Krichbaum, 59, was walking with his yellow Lab mix Henry in West Virginia's George Washington National Forest when they were confronted with something bear-y scary: two cubs and a larger black bear, who wasn't happy to see them. The animal proceeded to attack, and the guys leaped into action.

Judging by her heroic purr-formance that went viral last week, we're sure Tara the cat is going to nail it when she helps throw out the first pitch at a minor league baseball game this week.
But really: If you saw the way she protected 4-year-old Jeremy Triantafilo during a vicious dog attack, you get it. (And if you missed it, watch the video below.)
Still, the hero cat is clocking in plenty of prep time before she takes the field at Tuesday's Bakersfield Blaze game in California.
"TARA THE HERO CAT has been practicing for her first pitch on Tuesday!" the team's Twitter account announced Sunday.

When Tara the cat came to the rescue of a young boy in California this week, pouncing on a dog that was attacking the child, the Internet was captivated. The whole unbelievable episode was caught on camera – and around 8 million people have watched the video on YouTube so far.
Tara is just one of many pets who has gone the distance for a human, stepping in to save a life when sensing something is wrong. Below, find six of our favorite stories of animal bravery – and be sure to give your pets a little extra love tonight:

The cat's out of the bag.
The family of the "hero cat" – a Southwest Bakersfield, California, pet who bravely jumped on a dog attacking a boy in a rescue caught on security cameras – talked about its fearless feline on Today on Thursday.
"I'd never seen a dog just shake a child like that and so violently," says the boy's mother, Erica Triantafilo. "I thought he had a hold of his pants. It wasn't until I got there that I really saw that no, he had a hold of Jeremy."

Now this is one smart dog!
When Terry McGlade collapsed from a seizure, his rescue dog Major knew just what to do – he grabbed the phone out of McGlade's pockets with his teeth and stepped on the screen for several seconds, automatically dialing 911.
"I probably would have been in severe trouble if he wouldn't have called," says McGlade, who told ABC6 that the dog had actually never been trained to call 911.

Most of the time, traffic jams are frustrating, inconvenient and redeeming only in the sense that you can sit in your car and listen to Beyoncé.
The bumper-to-bumper grind is almost never described as adorable – though it is when a family of Canada geese is trying to cross the interstate.
Seven geese – two adults and five goslings – disrupted traffic for more than one hour on an Illinois interstate Tuesday night as police escorted them to safety, reports NBC Chicago. (Watch the so-sweet video below.)

A police dog named Bruno is recovering after being shot during a parole check in Anaheim, Calif.
The 7-year-old German Shepherd had emergency surgery to remove a bullet from his lung and repair his jaw after a man began shooting at police officers on March 20. Bruno was injured after guiding officers to where Robert Moreno Jr., a known gang member, was hiding.
"The dog alerted that the suspect was hiding behind a trash can. As they went up, the suspect stood up and started shooting at the direction of the officers and purposely aimed at the dog, shooting the dog," Anaheim Police Lt. Tim Schmidt told CBS Los Angeles.

Many of us are only here for the Summer.
There are a handful of us that live here full time, and some that live here "most" of the time.
Even when we're here, our lives and schedules are random to say the least.
It's all good... that's who we are.
As a result, we're not a "normal" club.
But I think we can still pull together and get some things done... we'll just do it in an abnormal manner. Seems fitting for this town eh?
I think that's why the web is going to be a very valuable tool for us.
Have a look around.
I'm continually trying to build out things to make our lives easier.
Feel free to give me a shout if ya think of anything....

Bradford Bulls appoint first female director
7:55pm Tuesday 15th January 2013 in Bulls By Ross Heppenstall, Bradford Bulls Reporter
The Bulls have broken new ground with the appointment of a first female director.
Kate Hardcastle, a lifelong Bradford fan and award-winning businesswoman, will join owner Omar Khan on the board of the Super League club.
Hardcastle, who grew up on the terraces of Odsal and hailed as a potential "Karren Brady of rugby league", spoke to the Telegraph & Argus in September about her desire to help boost the club's brand.
She has won over 20 professional awards for her marketing, media and charity work, including the Outstanding Business Woman in Yorkshire & Humberside.
Hardcastle, born in Huddersfield but raised in Bradford and owner of the charity Dreamgirls, first spoke to the Bulls about helping the club after news of the financial crisis broke in late March.
Today she was confirmed as a non-executive director, much to the delight of honorary chairman Gerry Sutcliffe.
The former Sports Minister said: "We are delighted that Kate is joining us and is a welcome knowledgeable and successful asset to the new team at the Bulls.
"Her results, drive and innovation are known and respected worldwide."
Hardcastle will focus on developing the Bulls brand and building up the club's fanbase amongst families and children as well as creating new opportunities for women in rugby league generally.
She said: "I have grown up with the team and the sport and I would only ever want to add value, to focus the team and to get the Bulls back to a position of strength.
"I look forward to having the support of the club and fans as we venture into new and exciting territories."

Just because you are female you shouldn't have to be especially good to get on our board!

Aussie Jared Graves excels in enduro, downhill and 4X mountain bike events as well as on the BMX track. He was crowned 2009 4X World Cup champion after winning four of the six rounds and placing on the podium in the other two, and he defended his title in 2010 and 2011. He now has a total of 15 World Cup race wins. He also won the 2009 UCI Mountain Bike 4X World Championships, and won a silver medal at the same event the following year after leading the final race all the way until making a mistake and being passed on the final corner. In 2008 he finished second in the BMX World Cup series and went on to finish sixth at the Summer Olympics in the same year. Born on 16 December 1982 in the Queensland town of Toowoomba, Jared says he was a 'XC bandit' in his early years. It was only when he finished third in the junior section of the 2000 Australian championships in his first ever downhill race that he realised his future may lie in downhill and 4X rather than cross country. Famous for his powerful, pedal-pumping style and tough training regime, Jared decided to concentrate on Enduro for the 2013 season. He started the season strongly with a win in the Dual Slalom event at the Sea Otter Classic in California, and later in the year secured a third placed finish in the first round of the Enduro World Series in Punta Ala, Italy.

Geeks 2 You Offers Computer Repair Services at High-Value, Low-Cost Prices
, July 06, 2012 ) Tucson, Arizona -- Over the past few years, large computer retailers have been offering supposedly expert repair services that come with a needlessly high price tag and, to make matters worse, their ability to dump endless amounts of money into advertising means that smaller repair companies are going out of business.
Geeks 2 You
is determined to buck the trend and succeed in an increasingly squeezed market. W
Geeks 2 You,
larger retailers will tell customers that they need to pay lots of money for this warranty or an expensive replacement part, Geeks 2 You wont try to sell anything their customers dont want or need. In fact, Geeks 2 You are driving their prices down in an attempt to claw back some highly valued customers and they also promise to deliver excellent results.
Customers are now starting to see the light. No one wants to drop their computer off at a store with a turn around time of 2-3 weeks. Instead customers can turn to Geeks 2 You, the
Tucson computer repair
company, where a technician can visit their home that same day to discuss any problems with their computer and fix it onsite. That means customers dont have to lose their computer for several weeks, as they would with large retailers, to get a fault fixed that only takes an hour of attention.
Geeks 2 You does
computer repair Tucson
style, which basically means they are straight to the point and fast acting in the city of Tucson, AZ. Theres no time wasted and, most importantly, they actually appreciate the value of their customers so they never try to find faults that simply dont exist and they would never recommend useless software. Large retailers have valuable sponsorship ties with several software companies so its no surprise that they will inevitably tell customers every reason under the sun why they should buy the latest version of their sponsors products.
Geeks 2 You has no specific ties, and therefore will always recommend the best available software at the cheapest prices.
Geeks 2 You offers a fast and reliable service for computer repairs and the best thing about them is that everything is no-hassle and you dont end up speaking to a salesman. They do exactly what they claim to, which means they turn up, fix the problem and then leave you with an affordable bill. I highly recommend that anyone who wants to get their computer fixed without having to buy a thousand other products should go with Geeks 2 You Bill Jenkins

How to get green between patio stone
DH and I are planning on putting down some flagstone and like the look of moss growing between the rocks. Problem is, we have no shade and it will be in afternoon sun. What can we plant between the pavers to get that look and will grow quickly?
There are a lot of what they call "steppables" at the garden centers. Or google it. Saw some on a pathway in NH that only grows 1" that might be doable for between my stones. I'll check the name and get back to you. I know lots of people use thyme....
I was going to say that I have moss growing between my patio stones on the south side of my house but thought you might not believe me so I googled this site that tells about moss: http://www.mossandstonegardens...spelling-moss-myths/
I didn't plant the moss, it just appeared and I've left some of it. I also deliberately planted creeping thyme which will take over if I let it. I cut it back late spring and last week ripped out much of it as it creeps along until it takes over a large area. While it grows quickly it's also easy to remove if it grows too fast or where you don't want it.
Stepables is a great site for low growing plants that can be walked on. http://www.stepables.com/ They are in many stores so easy to find: http://www.stepables.com/3/Sea...ailers.html#by_state
"I have always had an aversion to the concepts of in style and out of style." ~Rose Tarlow
Inspirational pics: http://inspiration4u.shutterfly.com/
Well that site sure told me how wrongly I thought about moss. I always thought it needed plenty of shade and moisture. That is a great site to read.
Even tho it looks pretty>
Moss on rocks and pavers: Another tricky issue. Some gardeners like the look of moss growing on rocks. It can be attractive in certain gardens. But if it is growing on pavers or stepping stones, you might inadvertently create a hazardous condition. Moss is slippery, as you know. Cleaning stepping stones is difficult. I would not recommend using soap powder and bleach in a garden. Careful use of a high pressure hose is probably a better suggestion than chemicals in the garden. Or just carefully scrape it off with a garden tool.

Notes: Kinsler out a couple of games
Rangers hope injured second baseman won't need DL stint
BOSTON -- Second baseman Ian Kinsler underwent treatment for a sprained left foot on Friday and reported some improvement, but he is not expected to play for at least the next couple of games.The Rangers are hoping that Kinsler will be able to return to the lineup before they leave Boston. If not, they may consider using the disabled list. "It shouldn't be too long," Kinsler said. "I'm hoping it won't be too long. We did treatment when I got to the ballpark and it felt better than when I left the hotel." Kinsler hurt the foot on a swing-and-miss during a first-inning at-bat in Thursday's game against the Tigers. The Rangers will give him Friday and Saturday off, then see where he is on Sunday. Kinsler left Detroit on crutches, but he was walking around without them before Friday's game at Fenway Park. "I didn't feel anything after the swing," Kinsler said. "But I felt it after I ran out to my position, and it got progressively worse as the game went on." Jerry Hairston started at second base on Friday night, with Ramon Vazquez at third base and Brad Wilkerson at first base. With first baseman Mark Teixeira and third baseman Hank Blalock on the disabled list, shortstop Michael Young is the only player still standing from the Opening Day infield. "Yeah, that's very strange," Young said. "For the most part I've been playing with the same guys for the past four or five years, so it's definitely odd not having those guys. But I trust the guys they put out there. They'll be fine." Cat and the Wall: The Red Sox have had many great left-handed hitters who learned to take advantage of the close Green Monster wall in left field. Wade Boggs was a classic example of a left-handed hitter who fattened his batting average peppering pitches off the Green Monster. Frank Catalanotto has found that out, too. He took a career .311 average at Fenway Park into Friday's game, but he was hitting .409 in his last 11 games here as he learned to go the other way and use the Green Monster more. He's hoping four games at Fenway will help him get back in that mode. "That's something I really want to stress here, especially in batting practice," Catalanotto said. "One of my bread-and-butter hits is the ball that goes over the shortstop and in front of the left fielder. I haven't had that all year. I'm hoping with four games in Fenway, I'll be able to shoot it that way more and have a better thought process." Laird, Eyre watch: Gerald Laird was out of the lineup on Friday, but manager Ron Washington said it was a planned day off. He said it had nothing to do with the foul ball that Laird took off his right knee in Thursday's game in Detroit. "We tried to snatch him out of yesterday's game, and he wasn't coming out," Washington said. "That's part of the hazards of catching. If we took a catcher out every time he got banged up, we would never have a catcher. He'll be ready tomorrow." Willie Eyre's hand is also getting better, and he could be available in the next day or so. Eyre took a line drive off his right hand in his start on Tuesday against the Tigers. But most of the swelling has gone, and the stitch marks from the baseball are starting to fade. "I could throw today, but they probably won't let me," Eyre said. "But I'm ready to pitch every day." Gonzalez to be honored: Former Rangers outfielder Juan Gonzalez is among those who are a part of the 2008 class of the Texas Baseball Hall of Fame, and he will be inducted on Nov. 9 in Houston. Others include Astros manager Phil Garner, former Astros outfielder Cesar Cedeno, Beaumont native Frank Robinson, former Negro League star Willie Wells and Austin native Don Baylor. He said it: "This was my most favorite place growing up. I thought I was going to watch a game here before I played in one, but I'll take it." -- rookie third baseman Travis Metcalf, on his first visit to Fenway Park Thursday's Minor stars:
Gold: Class A Bakersfield third baseman Chris Davis was 5-for-5 with two home runs and five RBIs in a 7-6 victory over Modesto. Davis has four home runs and 17 RBIs in his last four games, and he has an 18-game hitting streak. Silver: Double-A Frisco pitcher Armando Galarraga beat Arkansas, 4-1, by holding them to one run on eight hits and seven strikeouts in six innings. He did not walk a batter and is now 6-4 with a 5.10 ERA. Bronze: Class A Clinton pitcher Zachary Phillips allowed one run on five hits with eight strikeouts in a 5-2 victory over Quad Cities. He is 8-2 with a 2.53 ERA on the season. Briefly: Pitcher Edinson Volquez has been activated off the disabled list from a blister injury at Frisco. ... Frisco manager Dave Anderson has been traded from the World team to the U.S. team for the All-Star Futures Game in San Francisco. Up next: Right-hander Robinson Tejeda pitches against Boston right-hander Josh Beckett at 6:05 p.m. CT on Saturday in the Rangers' second game of a four-game series with the Red Sox at Fenway Park.

Anonymous hacker group: Two jailed for cyber attacks
Two men who carried out cyber attacks for the Anonymous hacking group have been jailed.
Christopher Weatherhead, 22, of Northampton, and Ashley Rhodes, 28, of Camberwell, London, were jailed for 18 months and seven months respectively.
The two men carried out distributed denial of service, or DDoS, attacks which paralyse computer systems by flooding them with online requests.
The ones they attacked included payment site PayPal, costing it £3.5m.
Co-defendant Peter Gibson, of Hartlepool, was given a six-month sentence, suspended for two years.
Another defendant, Jake Birchall, 18, from Chester, will be sentenced on 1 February.
'You're being stung'
The sentences were handed down at Southwark Crown Court and are thought to be the first convictions for DDoS in the UK.
Weatherhead and Rhodes were found guilty of conspiring to impair the operation of computers between 1 August 2010 and 22 January 2011.
Gibson was deemed to have played a lesser role in the conspiracy and admitted his part, as did Birchall.
The websites targeted by the cyber attacks were chosen by Anonymous, as part of what it called Operation Payback, because the hackers did not agree with their views.
Other companies hit by the attacks included Mastercard and Visa.
Southwark Crown Court had previously heard that PayPal was attacked after it decided not to process payments on behalf of the Wau Holland Foundation, an organisation involved in raising funds for the Wikileaks website.
Visitors to the affected websites in this case would be directed to a page displaying the message: "You've tried to bite the Anonymous hand. You angered the hive and now you are being stung."
Handing down his sentences, Judge Peter Testar said: "It is intolerable that when an individual or a group disagrees with a particular entity's activities, they should be free to curtail that activity by means of attacks such as those which took place in this case."
Prosecutor Joel Smith said theirs was a "persistent campaign" designed to "cause damage, financial losses and press exposure".
'Ideological twizzle'
The judge said the DDoS attacks had not been particularly sophisticated.
"What was sophisticated was the lengths taken to protect the identities of those involved," he said.
"The investigators are really to be commended for breaking down the wall of anonymity that was put up in order to prevent the activity of these conspirators being interrupted."
The Ministry of Sound estimated the cost of the attack on its sites as £9,000, while the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry's costs were more than £20,000 and the British Phonographic Industry's more than £4,000.
The financial impact on MasterCard and Visa were not revealed to the court, although Weatherhead once boasted online at having caused £1m worth of damage to MasterCard.
Gibson suggested attacking the website of singer Lily Allen, now known by her married name of Lily Cooper, as a possible target to Rhodes at one point. He agreed with the idea but the attack never went ahead.
Judge Testar told the court: "They got themselves into a bit of an ideological twizzle.
"On one hand, they wanted to attack her because she had taken a stand against breach of copyright. But on the other hand, they didn't like the idea of attacking artists."
