Flu season puts businesses and employees in a bindBy MATTHEW PERRONE
The Associated Press | January 14,2013AP PHOTO
Nurse Debbie Smerk, right, administers a flu shot to Pamela Black at MetroHealth in Cleveland.WASHINGTON Nearly half the 70 employees at a Ford dealership in Clarksville, Ind., have been out sick at some point in the past month. It didnt have to be that way, the boss says.
If people had stayed home in the first place, a lot of times that spread wouldnt have happened, says Marty Book, a vice president at Carriage Ford. But people really want to get out and do their jobs, and sometimes thats a detriment.
The flu season that has struck early and hard across the U.S. is putting businesses and employees alike in a bind. In this shaky economy, many Americans are reluctant to call in sick, something that can backfire for their employers.
Flu was widespread in 47 states last week, up from 41 the week before, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Friday. The only states without widespread flu were California, Mississippi and Hawaii. And the main strain of the virus circulating tends to make people sicker than usual.
Blake Fleetwood, president of Cook Travel in New York, says his agency is operating with less than 40 percent of its full-time staff because of the flu and other ailments.
The people here are working longer hours and it puts a lot of strain on everyone, Fleetwood says. You dont know whether to ask people with the flu to come in or not. He says the flu is also taking its toll on business as customers cancel their travel plans: People are getting the flu and theyre reduced to a shriveling little mess and dont feel like going anywhere.
Many workers go to the office even when theyre sick because they are worried about losing their jobs, says John Challenger, CEO of Challenger, Gray & Christmas, an employer consulting firm. Other employees report for work out of financial necessity, since roughly 40 percent of U.S. workers dont get paid if they are out sick. Some simply have a strong work ethic and feel obligated to show up.
Flu season typically costs employers $10.4 billion for hospitalization and doctors office visits, according to the CDC. That does not include the costs of lost productivity from absences.
At Carriage Ford, Book says the company plans to make flu shots mandatory for all employees.
Linda Doyle, CEO of the Northcrest Community retirement home in Ames, Iowa, says the company took that step this year for its 120 employees, providing the shots at no cost. It is also supplying face masks for all staff.
And no one is expected to come into work if sick, she says.
So far, the company hasnt seen an outbreak of flu cases.
You keep your fingers crossed and hope it continues this way, Doyle says. You see the news and its frightening. We just want to make sure that were doing everything possible to keep everyone healthy. Cleanliness is really the key to it. Washing your hands. Wash, wash, wash.
Among other steps employers can take to reduce the spread of the flu on the job: holding meetings via conference calls, staggering shifts so that fewer people are on the job at the same time, and avoiding handshaking.
Newspaper editor Rob Blackwell says he had taken only two sick days in the last two years before coming down with the flu and then pneumonia in the past two weeks. He missed several days the first week of January and has been working from home the past week.
I kept trying to push myself to get back to work because, generally speaking, when Im sick I just push through it, says Blackwell, the Washington bureau chief for the daily trade paper American Banker.
Connecticut is the only state that requires some businesses to pay employees when they are out sick. Cities such as San Francisco and Washington have similar laws.
Challenger and others say attitudes are changing, and many companies are rethinking their sick policies to avoid officewide outbreaks of the flu and other infectious diseases.
I think companies are waking up to the fact right now that you might get a little bit of gain from a person coming into work sick, but especially when you have an epidemic, if 10 or 20 people then get sick, in fact youve lost productivity, Challenger says.MORE IN National / World BusinessWASHINGTON Average long-term U.S. Full StoryNEW YORK To win the hearts of frequent business travelers, United Airlines is going through...

I was privileged to attend the ordination of a friend recently. For the first time, Michelle got to say the blessing over the bread, to break the bread and to give it to all of us with her hands.
Many tears, much joy.
As she handed me a small piece of the bigger loaf, I was reminded of how we, like the communion bread, are in the hands of others for so much of our lives. And how religion can be a thing of so much good or so much pain, depending upon whose hands it is in.
In the right hands, it's a pathway to the divine. In the wrong hands …
It's important that we always differentiate between religion and God. The two are distinct. God is always much bigger than any and all of our religions.
I went to the mecca of evangelicalism for college — beautiful campus in the suburbs of Chicago, where I received a scholarship from none other than the Pope of Evangelicalism, Billy Graham, for my work in street evangelism. As in, speaking to random strangers on the street in order to convert them to Christianity. Post graduation, I became a missionary, the Protestant equivalent of achieving sainthood.
I look back on that girl on fire and marvel at her earnest faith. If I could, I would reach back and massage the tense knots out of her high-strung shoulders, weary from carrying the weight of her neighbors' eternal destinies. I would wistfully explain to her that the first person she tried to witness to, that gentle, drunken, homeless woman named Kathy, needed more than my rehearsed Roman Road to salvation. Then I would break the Temporal Prime Directive and reveal to her that one day she would become more interested in being evangelized than evangelizing.
The truth is, I'm just better at being evangelized. It's probably how I was so easily converted at the tender age of 12. The young Christian is expected to learn how to share their testimony: their story of how God changes your life. By the time I was in my twenties, I had given my testimony a bajillion times.
But my own story often bored me.
In northern Nigeria, mounting fears of militant female suicide bombers have raised calls to ban the hijab, or the veil that covers the head, chest and, in some cases, the entire body.
Last week, four women believed to be members of the Islamic militant group Boko Haram carried out attacks in Kano, a city in northern Nigeria. Men belonging to the group have taken to wearing the hijab, too, according to reports.
On July 27, a female suicide bomber detonated a bomb outside a Roman Catholic church in Kano, killing four people and injuring 70. Around the same time, security agencies arrested two girls aged 10 and 18 with explosive belts under their hijabs.
"We have this worrying situation where the bombers are turning out to be girls dressed in the hijab," Roman Catholic Bishop John Niyiring of Kano said.
Banning the hijab is crucial to curbing the trend, said Emmanuel Akubor, a historian at Obafemi Awolowo University in Ile-Ife in western Nigeria.
"The best thing for now is to place a temporary ban on hijab, not for religious, but security reasons," he told News Agency of Nigeria.
But Niyiring said he thinks such a ban would be resisted.

U.S Considers Air Strikes and Air Drops to Help Iraqis Trapped on Mountain by ISIS"The move comes as Qaraqosh, Iraq's largest Christian city, was all but abandoned as the jihadist group Islamic State (Isis) advanced through minority communities in the country's north-west and towards the Kurdish stronghold of Irbil."
2. Inclusive Language for God Does Note Equal HeresyRachel Marie Stone brings it on her Religion News Service blog, calling out the criticism of Gungor for supposed 'drift from biblical orthodoxy' for 'experiments with female metaphors for God' among other 'heresies.'
3. What Is Really Happening in Iraq? "In June, ISIS overran the northern capital of Mosul and began a violent march southward, proclaiming the imminent destruction of Kerbala, Najaf, and Baghdad — strongholds of Shi'a religious and political power. Sectarianism reignited and militias re-armed. ISIS was a Sunni problem and the Shi'a were either fleeing or beating their chests in fear. So, these few weeks later, with Christians and others being marked and driven from their homes, a Muslim movement that says, 'We are all Christians,' is subversive in the most daring of ways."

Controversial Mars Hill pastor Mark Driscoll has been removed from membership in Acts29, an international church planting network that Driscoll helped found. The notice to Driscoll and his church comes in the midst of rising anger from Mars Hill parishioners over revelations of Driscoll's unethical conduct, which include using church funds to boost sales of his book Real Marriage to bestseller lists and using a pseudonym to publish vulgar and sexist commentary to his church forum.
"In response, we leaned on the Mars Hill Board of Advisors & Accountability to take the lead in dealing with this matter," says the letter from Acts29, which also removed Driscoll's church from membership.
"But we no longer believe the BoAA is able to execute the plan of reconciliation originally laid out. Ample time has been given for repentance, change, and restitution, with none forthcoming. We now have to take another course of action."
"Based on the totality of the circumstances, we are now asking you to please step down from ministry for an extended time and seek help. Consequently, we also feel that we have no alternative but to remove you and Mars Hill from membership in Acts 29."

You don't need a doctoral degree to think higher education leads people away from organized religion. That's been common wisdom for decades.
Now, a sociologist's new generational study upends that thinking.
Today, it's the least-educated members of Generation X—people born roughly between 1965 and 1980—who are "most likely to leave religion," said Philip Schwadel, an associate professor of sociology at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln.
Millennials—Americans roughly between the ages 18 and 30—were not included in the study because, Schwadel said, it's too soon to tell if they will settle on a religious identity.
Schwadel, whose study is published in the August edition of the journal Social Forces, found a clear historical shift.
"Americans born in the late 1920s and '30s who graduated from college were twice as likely to drop out of religion than people who didn't graduate from college," he said.
The postwar baby boomers proved to be "the last holdout of the church dropouts." For boomers, "a college degree was still associated with a higher likelihood of leaving religion."
However, for the generation born in the 1960s, there's no difference between those who did and those who did not go to college in their likelihood of religious affiliation. Now, for America's middle-aged adults who were born in the 1970s, "those without a college education are the most likely to drop out."
It was 2006's "The God Delusion" that many credit with sparking a growing interest in atheism in the U.S. Along with best-selling books by the other members of the "Four Horsemen" of atheism—the late Christopher Hitchens, Sam Harris, and Daniel Dennett—Dawkins' rising star mirrored the growth of atheism in the last decade.
In 2012, the Pew Research Center found 5.7 percent of Americans identified as either atheists or agnostics, up from 3.7 percent in 2007.
"Richard Dawkins has done a lot to bring atheism to a whole new generation," said Phil Zuckerman, a sociology professor who studies atheism and who also credits Dawkins with speaking out against the pedophilia scandal within the Catholic Church. "On the other hand, Dawkins seems to embody everything that people dislike about atheists: He is smug, condescending and emits an unpleasant disdainfulness. He doesn't ever seem to acknowledge the good aspects of religion, only the bad. In that sense, I think he doesn't help atheism in the PR department."
One of Dawkins' biggest missteps came in 2011, when he blasted Rebecca Watson, a young atheist activist who wrote about feeling sexually harassed at a freethought conference. In a now infamous series of comments posted to the blog Pharyngula, Dawkins wrote in a message titled "Dear Muslima," "Stop whining, will you? ... For goodness sake grow up, or at least grow a thicker skin."
Prominent conservative voices are criticizing the decision to bring two medical missionaries who contracted Ebola back to the United States for treatment.
Real estate mogul Donald Trump and retired neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson were both critical of bringing the infected missionaries back to the U.S. Columnist Ann Coulter went further, questioning why the missionaries were working in the "disease-ridden cesspools" of Africa.
Dr. Kent Brantly, with Samaritan's Purse, and Nancy Writebol, with Service in Mission, are medical missionaries who were infected with Ebola while working with patients in Liberia. They are being treated at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta.
"If Dr. Brantly had practiced at Cedars-Sinai hospital in Los Angeles and turned one single Hollywood power-broker to Christ, he would have done more good for the entire world than anything he could accomplish in a century spent in Liberia," Coulter wrote in a column.
But the professional provocateur is facing a backlash from the mainstream Christian establishment, especially evangelicals, for whom overseas missionary work is an article of faith.
Senior leaders in Iraq's minority Yazidi community say their wives and daughters, forcibly held by Islamic militants, are being given a choice: Convert to Islam and marry jihadists — or else.
Mirza Dinnayi, a senior Yazidi leader and a former adviser on minority affairs to the Iraqi president, said he has spoken on the phone with several women who cry out to him: "I love my husband; my faith is Yazidi."
Others have attested to harsh treatment bestowed on members of the religious minority by the Islamic State militant group since its gunmen captured parts of Iraq earlier this week.
As many as 200,000 Yazidis left their homes in the Sinjar region of northwestern Iraq. Untold thousands are believed dead and at least several hundred women and children are being held prisoners.
Meanwhile, tens of thousands are stranded on the Sinjar mountain range without access to food or water in an ongoing humanitarian crisis.
Even in a long history marred by persecution, this week's tragic events stood out.
I invite you to stop reading this now, listen to a copy of the hymn "For the Beauty of the Earth," and go sing it in celebration while walking around your neighborhood.
If you're still with me, I'll explain why:
Since learning the hymn several years ago, it has come to mind in many memorable places that now fill my mental landscape whenever I sing the hymn. One of those places is a park overlooking the Anacostia River near my house in Washington, D.C. Kenilworth Park was built on the site of a city dump that was plowed over 40 years ago and is now undergoing a remediation process to control suspected groundwater contamination. But despite its tainted legacy, it's still one of the most beautiful places in Washington D.C.
The park constantly reminds me of the distance between what is and what could be. It's full of potential, but sometimes the park's potential is the only positive thing I see. On a recent walk through it, I came to my favorite overlook across from the National Arboretum and was momentarily struck by the contrast. The overlook is always full of trash from the river and at times overgrown with invasive plants, but this time, as I walked up, I caught a glimpse of a Northern Harrier flying along the river. I had never seen a Northern Harrier, much less so close to my house and in such an unlikely place. It momentarily caught me and my bird-watching friends breathless; we were reminded of the potential always hidden within the park.

As we noted Monday, Federal Reserve officials have been considering whether to revise the exit strategy that they've devised for their easy money policies.
Under the exit strategy the Fed laid out in June 2011, the Fed would one day sell down its holdings of mortgage backed securities over a period of three to five years. Several officials have been wondering whether the Fed should revisit that strategy and consider taking a less aggressive approach to selling when the time comes.
Chairman tips his hand to the idea that the Fed might not need to sell down the portfolio as laid out in the exit strategy: "We could exit without ever selling, by letting [mortgage backed securities] run off," he said. "That would be one strategy."
He added that he didn't anticipate a massive selloff of its holdings by the Fed.

If you're not the biggest fan of teenage fictions, there is one thing you might want to keep in mind in case you decide to read this book: forget the fact that there was supposed to be a "lesson" in the story. You know, "be nice with other people, pay attention to any signs of distress or change of behavior". Stuff like that. Don't expect an epic thriller, because this book does not follow that style.
The first thing that will probably draw your attention to this book is its format. Sure, there are several books that have more than one narrator, but this one shows a very interesting way of telling a story. It shows the same story in two different points of view, going through different times. One of them is a girl who is, in a way, being bullied by other colleagues because of some mean rumors that started to spread throughout the school. The other is a boy who, in a certain point of his life, interacted with this girl. The said girl had recently committed suicide, but left a bit more than a suicide note: she left behind one map and seven cassette tapes, each one explaining one reason why she killed herself.
The story itself is far from being the best one I've ever read, but it is enticing enough to keep you wanting to know more... until the middle of the book, where the story actually gets slightly disappointing. The narration style that alternates between the girl's reasons and the boy's thoughts about them are, at the very least, quite interesting.
What I didn't really like about the book: the way each reason connected to each other. I mean, in the first tapes I could understand Hannah's reasons for doing what she did, but after a certain point, it started to seem like she wasn't much more than a person eager for some attention than for real help. I guess I'll just have to accept the fact that some people don't know how to handle certain situations because they were raised in a very "closed/protected" environment, and while I do know that some families are truly like that, I don't believe that Hannah, having such strong bonds with her family in the beginning of the book, never thought of bringing up the problem either with them or any other relatives and only recurring to the counselor as the last resort. But then again, I cannot condemn her decision because I know that her attitude is perfectly... possible.
A good book to be read once, perhaps even twice.
I listened to this book unabridged. It was pretty close to torture by the end. I liked the concept at first and was intrigued. The only reason I finished it was because I didn't have another audio book lined up to listen to in the car and by the time I did... I was close to the end. I HATED the characters and wanted to jump into the story and kill the girl myself. Drama, drama, drama... everyone goes through this in High School and her story was nothing special. How this book got an average of 4 STARS is beyond me. I guess for those teenagers that can sympathize it hit a mark with them? But what kind of message does this book send? Here are legitimate reasons to commit suicide? If that were the case then the human race would cease to exist. Maybe the Author made her this way on purpose and to illicit this exact reaction I have, but I highly doubt it. I found myself yelling out at the radio, "You dumb *!$%, get a grip and stop blaming everyone else for your problems." Maybe if the character had true depression, that would be understandable but they did the opposite and pointed the finger using these "reasons why". Horrible and gives a terrible message in my opinion, plus the writing and dialogue is atrocious.
Dieses Buch hat mich zutiefst berührt, sprachlos und nachdenklich zurückgelassen. Ich glaube nicht, dass es mich in absehbarer Zeit wieder los lassen wird. Ich bin nicht der Typ, der besonders gut im Rezensionen schreiben ist; besonders wenn es sich um positive Kritiken handelt, wird es extrem schwierig. Deswegen weise ich lieber noch einmal auf die Rezension hin, die mich dazu gebracht hat, dieses Hörbuch auszuleihen: http://lokuszeit.heldenblog.net/?p=354.
This book makes you think about how your actions can affect other people and how it makes them feel. 5Q3P, (sadly I think this book isn't as popular as it should be). The cover art is awesome and I'd recommend it to middle school and high school students as well as adults. I chose to read this book because I heard about it from other people that it was good and have been waiting to get a chance to read it. BreB

BuzzChatter Monday: Kerry believes Jack Kennedy died as part of a conspiracy
A happy new week to you. Here are today's snappy quotes:
• "I just have a point of view. And I'm not going to get into that. It's not something that I think needs to be commented on, and certainly not at this time." — Secretary of State John Kerry on "Meet the Press" Sunday on his view that the assassination of President John F. Kennedy was part of a broader conspiracy.
Kerry wouldn't say more even when pressed by host David Gregory. With the 50th anniversary of the shooting just a few days off, the conspiracy question will get another thorough airing. Kerry was wise not to say more because any further comment would have exploded into a major news story.
• "The newly completed Consensus Revenue Estimate now forecasts a larger drop and provides further evidence that the state's revenue stream does not support the current level of programs and services." — former Kansas budget director Duane Goossenpointing out
that approved spending in the current Kansas budget exceeds estimated revenue by $108 million.
Goossen, who worked for both Democratic and Republican governors, pointed out the state has a solid savings account that can handle the revenue deficit. "But not for long," he said.
• "Defying them is a possibility." — Kansas Senate President Susan Wagle, a Wichita Republican, explaining that the Legislature could defy a potential state Supreme Court order to spend hundreds of millions more on public schools. A decision is expected late this year or early 2014.
This is the mega-question facing Kansas government and politics as 2013 winds down: How will the generally conservative Legislature react to an expected ruling demanding higher spending for schools? Wagle is one of those conservatives. A constitutional crisis is wide considered to be a possibility.
• "She has...a sense of destiny." — Noam Scheiber, a senior editor at The New Republic, on whether Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren might run for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016 even if that means running against Hillary Clinton. Scheiber just published a long profile of Warren.
A Warren candidacy truly would be a nightmare scenario for Clinton and would threaten to divide the party the same way the GOP could be split if Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie both run.

Tax Burden Heavy For Middle Class

Finished your income tax return yet? Today's the deadline for most filers, so if your return isn't completed, you'd better get at it....

Wow, I hear some strong angry opinion here and someone who seems who knows what is best for everyone. Umm, no abortions? Is it ok if a woman that makes a million a year decides she wants to have a child alone, or do you think she must marry someone as well. Dont like atheist? Jewish ok with you? Maybe single millionaire mothers, atheists, and jewish should not be able to vote either, how about those with brown eyes?

ONce again, what are we doing about SINGLE NEVER MARRIED MOTHERS? Other than telling them that aborting the child is the solution?
I understand the liberal feminism culture will growl but how well has giving them more, expecting less worked? SOmething wrong when gubment tends to grow the problem rather than reduce it. ANd why those that pay NOTHING in Federal INcome tax shouldnt be allowed to vote. They are in fact voting themselves money. And what was it that atheist Jefferson said about that? Cheers

SME-I disagree with "what are the poor doing with a car". A single woman with a couple of kids living in public housing, may work and make 15 k a year-this is poverty. How do you suppose she gets to work. There are many jobs that are not in walking distance or have bus service. Look around at some of the local vehicles-they arent luxury. This person may get income based housing, medical card, food card, even free daycare-but at least they are trying. If this same person made 20K or so more, they would not have the public benefits and would be about the same financially. I give credit to those who try, but think less of these poor even try, and do work the system too often. So it still falls on the middle class-who's quality of life continues to decline. The middle class is just getting poorer-and its not getting better.

Yep ,after all that hot air we catch another Democrat trying to pretend he a middle class man. Teacher Unions, the Minority Democrats have all sold out this nation long ago. If they arent nullifying the WIll of the Majority with activist judges imposing radical lifestyle values on the People theyre out trying to legalise 14,000,000 million illegal aliens. Now ask yourself who really sold us out. Cheers

The 'Middle Class' is going the way of the DoDo Bird...becoming extinct as manufacturing and production jobs have moved overseas to increase the 'bottom line' of the 1percent who rule America.
As many Democrats know 'We, the people' have been lied to for decades. America is NOT A DEMOCRACY IT IS AN OLIGARCHY!
The US government does not represent the interests of the majority of the country's citizens, but is instead ruled by those of the rich and powerful, a new study from Princeton and Northwestern Universities has concluded.
The report, entitled 'Testing Theories of American Politics: Elites, Interest Groups, and Average Citizens', used extensive policy data collected from between the years of 1981 and 2002 to empirically determine the state of the US political system.
We have become a nation of serfs to the GOP oligarchs!

Where are the Moderates of the Democrat party? You union people, look at the perverse values of your national party now represents. Its time to start voting as the urban Democrats do. For YOUR community. You can still keep your party affiliation but its time to start voting your interests. You seeing any Euro American outreach in your party these days? Its time

Buried deep on the website of the U.S. Census Bureau is a number every American citizen, and especially those entrusted with public office, should know. It is 86,429,000.
That is the number of Americans who in 2012 got up every morning and went to work — in the private sector — and did it week after week after week. All told, including both the welfare recipients and the non-welfare beneficiaries, there were 151,014,000 who "received benefits from one or more programs" in the fourth quarter of 2011. Subtract the 3,212,000 veterans, who served their country in the most profound way possible, and that leaves 147,802,000 non-veteran benefit takers.

A loaf of bread costs the same whether the buyer has food stamps, is middle class, or is wealthy. The burden is with the middle class, who are working harder and have a declining standard of living. Many middle class do not spend as much on food as what is provided by welfare per person-they can't because of the cost of housing, utilities, keeping vehicles running so they can work, etc. As the middle class approach retirement, it is even more bleak-many will end up below poverty level as health fails or in retirement.

Men and women who work in extreme conditions, inhale fumes and dusty contaminants, and avoid equipment and traffic for safety have bigger tax burdens than the extremely wealthy who gained so much from those who kept shipping lanes open and manufactured freight moving. Republicans want to make it harder for working people to feed and educate children and don't want all hard-working people to have affordable health care.

HOUSTON, TX – GEICO's new claims office is now open in Katy, providing hundreds of jobs in the area.
None other than Warren Buffett himself, whose Berkshire Hathaway owns GEICO, was here for the ribbon cutting, along with Governor Rick Perry and GEICO chairman Tony Nicely.
Buffett recently promised a billion dollars to anyone who predicted a perfect NCAA tournament bracket. No one won, but Buffett did say he was interested in doing it again next year and perhaps making it a little easier.
We'll take all the help we can get!

Deaths and Entrances, volume of verse by Dylan Thomas, published in 1946. It demonstrates an affirmative and deepening harmony between Thomas and his Welsh environment. Using elemental and religious imagery, the poet looks with sympathy at the impact of World War II, particularly the bombing of London. The poetry is noted for its lyrical movement and is characterized by the rhythmic use of complex syllabic lines of variable lengths.
Two often-anthologized poems in the collection, "
Fern Hill" and "
Poem in October," are expressive, visionary, and mystical odes to innocence and childhood, based on adult recollections. Other poems include "
The Conversation of Prayer," "
A Winter's Tale," "
Ceremony After a Fire Raid," "
Vision and Prayer," and "
A Refusal to Mourn the Death, by Fire, of a Child in London."

Can you help people with their shopping needs
5:18pm Thursday 1st May 2014 in News
THE Worcester Volunteer Centre is appealing for people to lend a hand to their clients and the shopping service they offer them.
The assistance service is aimed at helping older people or those with a disability with their weekly shopping needs.
Now the project is expanding thanks to a grant from Lloyds TSB Foundation and the volunteer centre is looking to help more clients in Worcester city and the surrounding area.
Sharon Wright who has run the shopping and gardening service for the last seven years said: "We are very proud of our volunteers. We also often find they develop close friendships with our clients and a keen sense of satisfaction in giving back to the community."
And an unknown client added: "Thank you for finding me such a special shopper, he shows kindness and concern to ensure I get my shopping in. Beyond all this he has become a great friend to me."
All volunteers are DBS (formerly CRB) checked, vetted and trained, before shopping for any clients.
Anyone interested in the service or in volunteering should call 01905 24741, email email@example.com or visit worcestervolunteercentre.org.uk.

They' seem keen to approve lots of out of town shopping that will be inaccessible to the increasing number of elderly that don't/can't drive and increasing numbers of younger people that don't even have a licence let alone a car.
Meanwhile the County cuts back on subsidised and sustainable transport and the independent City retailers and businesses have to close as a result of out pf town and out of City competition.
Still it keeps these pages busy with complaints about the inevitable congestion.
It doesn't bother me much (yet) as its easier, cheaper and quicker for most journeys to use my bike.

The Guardian 009
Senior Member
I love Udyr, the amount of AOE damage and on hit effects, being able to take damage as well as dish it out- but lately I feel that he's being outclassed more and more by the bruisers top and junglers. I thought up some changes that might make him more viable pick but wouldn't destroy who he is.
Remember this is merely an opinion. This is open to discussion- I wouldn't mind some constructive criticism. Please don't just downvoted and walk away.
Passive:Monkey's Agility
Udyr's attack speed is increased by 10% for 5 seconds each time he switches stances. Each time he changes his stance, the effect of oncoming crowd control is reduced by 2/3/5%.These effects can stack up to 3 times. Switching stances sets off a 1.5 second global cooldown.
This would make his passive stacks more important for him as it will improve is ability to close the gap on the opponents- and stay on them once he does. Your Udyr, your suppose to be in the thick of it causing as much disruption as you can. It also makes sense character wise as well
Tiger Stance
This ability will remain completely untouched
Turtle Stance
Stance Activation: Udyr gains a shield that absorbs damage for 5 seconds or until it has absorbed the full amount of damage. This shield is based off of 8/10/12/15/18% his maximum HP. Persistent effect: Udyr's attacks cannot crit, but they restore a percentage of his damage as health and mana.
The removal of the AP ratio is going to urk some AP Udyr players out there (yes, I acknowledge the existence of them), but this would improve his game play all around. This will reward players on building health on Udyr, your supposed to be an off tank bruiser. Building health is good- and I rarely see players build AP on him unless they are building TF.
If you thought this ability seems a little too strong at maxed rank, remember that Uydr can not max all of his abilities. This means that Udyr may max three abilities (with the fourth only reaching its 3rd rank) or he may max two abilities (with the other two reaching their 4th rank).
*I thought about doubling the CC Reduction while in Turtle Stance, but it really does seem too strong
Bear Stance
This ability will remain relatively untouched as it's fine the way it is- as side from increasing the duration of the movement speed.
Phoenix Stance
This ability will remain completely untouched
Just make innervating locket his passive already.
Wat ur saying is only improving udyr teamfight potential which isnt udyr main problem atm. The problem is that he is extremely easy 2 kite. Atm udyr teamfight potential isnt that bad because of the ability to stun a whole team over and over again which is y udyr should be getting buffs towards his bear stance compare 2 any other skill. Udyr bear stance has the lowest MS buff compare 2 other junglers like shy n skarner with lvl 1 skills that give higher MS compare 2 udyr lvl 5 bear stance.
Udyr does not need buffs.
He is still very strong. The only thing that has changed is the meta. Udyr can be kited just like always but if he isn't he is incredibly powerful.
if udyr was improved to be able to stay in your face longer (tenacity buff) then he would come close to op, he does insane damage whilst building tank, Just be creative in your ganks, ward the enemy jungle so you can safely sneak around the back of the other guys turret and not run into the jungler, Not that you cant wreck him or anything but it would ruin the gank. Also know when to pick udyr, if the enemy team is
then thats perfect for him, as long as the high priority targets dont have much of an escape like say Miss fortune then its food for udyr.
I do like the change to turtle stance shield though, Riot pls.
Junior Member
also Udyr counter idiots almost more than any other jungler...
< 1000 elo, he is a stomp....
I know im down their too cause as soon as I hit level 30 I went OOH RANKED LETS TRY THIS, now after learning more im working my way out but it can be hard with trolls or just insta rage kids, Id pay $50 to redo my placement matches
just give him a gap closer, that should improve him quite well

Rat Rod Jeep Death-Wish Trip! - Roadkill Episode 15
David Freiburger claims that this road trip on this episode of Roadkill is
the most stupid thing that he and Mike Finnegan have ever done. Freiburger
wanted to do a Jeep trip, so Finnegan bought an old Willys flatfender--one
that had been turned into a two-wheel-drive rat rod using some very sketchy
fabrication. The guys made it semi-safe, then hit the road to drive to the
Desert Bar in Parker, Arizona, where they sold the Jeep to a guy for the
price of their bar tab. Watch to see the crazy fun in the scariest vehicle
ever on Roadkill.

The War of the Community Organizers. Mr. Greenfield explains that both of them need their enemies, in order to ensure their power.
Obama and Putin: Two Totalitarians, One Game
March 27, 2014 by Daniel Greenfield
86 Comments
[ ... ]
Every time a battle is won and an election ends, a new source of social conflict is dug up and deployed for war.
As a domestic radical, divisiveness is his natural weapon. Obama plays on fragmented identities, assembling coalitions to wage war against some phantom white heteronormative patriarchy consisting of a middle class barely able to pay its bills.
[ ... ]
[Obama's coalition] needs an enemy to give it meaning. Without a common enemy it will tear itself apart and die.
The same is true of the anti-American coalition that Putin has cobbled together out of Marxist dictators in Latin America, Shiite fanatics in Iran, a North Korean prep school grad who starves his people to build nukes and radical American leftists convinced that every war is a CIA conspiracy. Like allying the NAACP, AFL-CIO and GLAAD; it's an odd conclave, but as long as everyone focuses on a common foe, they can all be herded in the right direction.
Obama is an adequate national community organizer, but Putin is a global community organizer.
It's not just that Obama is weak and inept, but he's using a rulebook that Moscow is entirely familiar with because its men helped write it. The KGB vets running the show understand Obama intimately because they understood his mentors. The tactics that Obama and his people imagine are clever and innovative are minor examples of the tactics that the USSR was using abroad before he was even born.
Obama isn't isolating Putin. Putin is isolating Obama. He's doing it in the same way that Obama did it to Republicans.
Anti-Americanism has nothing to with America. Anti-Americanism creates a phantom enemy.
[ ... ]
Obama needs a Republican enemy to keep his people in line. Putin needs an American enemy to keep his people in line. If Obama understood this, he would also understand that Putin is as likely to work with him to defuse the conflict, as Obama would with John Boehner.
Putin and Obama are both deeply corrupt men whose former popularity has waned and are badly in need of distractions.
[ ... ]
Obama thinks globally and acts locally. Putin thinks locally and acts globally.
Putin is determined to score points from the post-American transition. Reducing American power and influence worldwide was a move that the foreign policy left believed would defuse tensions. Instead it has turned into a gold rush for every petty tyrant and terrorist eager to count coup by humiliating the United States.
Obama wanted a peaceful post-American transition. Instead he's getting worldwide chaos and war.
Putin seeks out a conflict with the United States for the same reason that Obama seeks one out with Republicans….

3 Summer@Highland teams from Boston choose to work out of Silicon Valley
Send this story to a friend
- Kyle Alspach
- Technology Editor- Boston Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+
Highland Capital Partners said Friday that it has named nine teams to its student entrepreneurship accelerator program, Summer@Highland.
Four of the teams come from Boston-area colleges — one each from Harvard College, Harvard Business School, Boston College and MIT.
But only one of those four teams has opted to work out of Highland's Cambridge office for the summer program, choosing instead to locate out of Highland's Silicon Valley office, Highland said. The startups are allowed to work at whichever location they feel is best to grow their business, Highland said.
A total of three teams will work out of the Cambridge office during the program (descriptions from Highland):
- Phyre (Boston College) -- Winner of the Boston College Venture Competition, Phyre is building a portable device that makes it easy to wirelessly connect and interact with large displays from any phone, tablet or laptop
- SkylBridge (Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania) -- SkylBridge is an online talent marketplace for businesses to find top-quality yet affordable business freelancers for short-term projects
- Technical Machine (Olin College) -- Technical Machine is an embeddable platform for developers to make internet-connected physical devices
The other six teams will work out of Highland's Silicon Valley office. Those teams are:
- Butucu (Harvard College) -- Butucu, an all-freshman team, aims to help retail stores improve the customer experience by allowing them to push custom, relevant content to in-store shoppers while providing high-level analytics
- Connect.com (Harvard Business School) -- What if all your connections from Facebook, LinkedIn and Gmail were shown on a map? Connect.com puts all your friends on a map so you can find people when traveling, plan events and visually explore your network. The company is co-founded by Ryan Allis, previously the co-founder and CEO of iContact (acquired by Vocus for $169 million in 2012)
- EagerPanda (MIT) -- EagerPanda allows educators to easily build their own custom online courses, and enables learners to connect and communicate around this content
- Sension (Stanford University) -- A computer vision platform that makes online content engaging for the user, Sension works with a simple webcam to let anyone make videos that respond to the viewer
- Splat (Cornell University) -- Splat is a small device that transforms a smartphone into the ultimate social-gaming console, letting users play physical, in-person, interactive video games
- Alpha (Stanford University) -- Alpha is a digital university for hackers that teaches experienced developers how to build actual applications for the "real world" through project-based learning in the browser. The team is also a finalist in the BASES (Business Association of Stanford Entrepreneurial Students) 150K Challenge

My friends suggested this product to me a very long time ago; it was my first face wash product. It didn't do much to help my acne problem, but it did leave my face feeling clean, albeit a little dry. It also didn't smell very good. I currently use a similar-looking product that smells and feels better: Origins Never a Dull Moment.
More reviews by whoaitskristenn
I don't know why so many people don't like this product!
I have somewhat oily skin and I use this face wash every morning and it controls my oily t-zone very well! I still have to touch up, but my makeup doesn't control oil very well either.
If you have acne-prone or oily skin, this and St. Ives are the best face washes you can get! If you have sensitive or dry skin, don't even think about purchasing this product!
This product got rid of my zits, but it can be really really drying. Also, never bring this product with you if you are travelling, it leaks! It'll even leak if you put it on it's side, not right side up, at home. Bad packaging, can be drying but it gets rid of the zits.
I used this product before I started attending Aestheics classes. Works very well. Only reason not using it is learning about the class products and found some that also work well.
Does not leave a film over your skin like some do. Leaves skin feeling slightly taut (not overly) and clean feeling. I used the product every other to every third shower.
I deleted my original review because I felt the need to rewrite it and bump it up.
I have been using this cleanser for over 5 years now and it's pretty much my HG. My husband has been hooked on this also, and when my son gets what appear to be "heat rashes" this clears him right up.
I have experimented with so many other cleansers in hopes to finding one that rightfully balances my skin by completely cleaning off makeup, oil and residue from my skin, reducing inflamation, exfoliating dead skin, and keeping my pores tight (a lot to ask, I know) and this does all of the above. The most noticeable thing this does is calm my skin down from terrible reactions to other cleansers and products. It's probably the salycilic acid in it, which has antiflammatory properties.
I no longer feel the need to shell out high amounts of money on cleansers that contain the same active ingredient, some even at a less percentage or hidden behind a list of other crap.
This has been a life saver for my skin and a staple in my household. Will continue to purchase. And by the way, my original review also gave this cleanser a 5.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
did nothing for my skin. of course, buying into the hype, i tried it 3 times before i decided i REALLY hated it.
Overall, very drying very!! at least for me. I'm combination. It left my skin dull and tight. Never again will i buy this.
This left my face tight, dry, and irritated. Did not help with breakouts. Would not repurchase.
I did not really enjoy this product. It did nothing for my break outs and did not help me to dry out my skin. I would definately not purchase this product again.
Made my face worse! I think I am allergic to this brand!
UPDATE!!! So i continued to use this product instead of every morning and night to just at night while in the shower, but use it every other day. Has done a pretty good job at clearing my minor acne and helped with the left over acne scars. Face feels clean and slightly taut. I think this product is to harsh for both am and pm, and everyday use. After this bottle is done, i wll evalute its effectiveness and decide if i want to repurchase.
