Dealing with patients' concerns over swine flu is taking vast amounts of doctors' time away from patients that are actually ill. More of my time nowadays is spent reassuring and informing patients about swine flu than actually diagnosing them with it.
The coverage and response to swine flu has led to increased public anxiety, and it's a strain that most GPs across the country are feeling – some a lot greater than others.
While patients are clearly concerned, many of the queries we are receiving at the moment are coming from people who are not actually ill, and questions that don't necessarily warrant a GP's time. They include: where to buy Tamiflu in foreign countries while on holiday, whether children can contract the virus from friends, or the pros and cons of anti-viral drugs. Important questions no doubt, but not when they are interrupting other patients' time in surgery.
Concerned callers can ring multiple times a day often during surgery hours. Each query generates paperwork, while responding to phone calls outside of surgery time is adding hours to each side of my day. Then, of course, there are the people who are actually ill with swine flu. We planned to contain them in another part of the surgery, yet there is not sufficient space to always do that. My receptionist has now been trained in how to detect symptoms and knows how to intercept patients that might have contracted swine-flu so that they can be told not to come in. Instead I will talk to them directly and make a judgement whether to provide Tamiflu.
For the ones that do need it, I can often find myself engaged in conversations about Tamiflu. Many swine flu sufferers have read about the side-effects on the internet and you can frequently find yourself debating with patients who need it but don't want it (as well as those who want it but don't need it).
It's worth remembering that my surgery is not even located in a swine flu hotspot. So far I have diagnosed around 40 cases of swine flu (nearly as many as the whole of Northern Ireland), but the number of daily consultations has risen by around 10 per cent in recent months. There are much more serious hotspots across the country that are seeing daily consultation increases of as much as 500 per cent. And there is simply no facility on Earth that is geared up to deal with that rise in workload.
The telephone service will no doubt relieve the strain on GPs, yet the Government needs to readdress the balance in its messages. It needs to be more reassuring. After all it's worth remembering that the effects of swine flu are – so far – still not as severe as ordinary flu. We just don't see a daily monitored death rate that induces the same levels of fear.

Downtown Disney Parking Garage Opens at Walt Disney World
That sound you hear is the cheering of thousands of guests (ok, maybe I'm the only one and I'm cheering really loudly) – part of the first Downtown Disney parking garage is open! This means that for the busy holiday season, Downtown Disney parking hopefully won't be the catastrophic nightmare it has been.
The new garage is located on the West Side portion of Downtown Disney. Currently there is a pathway that you can take to and from the garage to the shopping district located near the Downtown Disney AMC.
Things to Do at Disney World outside the Parks
It can be easy sometimes to forget just how much there is to do outside of Disney World's four theme parks and two water parks. With so much contained within the parks, it might not even cross some guests' minds that you could actually spend a whole Disney World vacation without ever going to the parks. Although I personally wouldn't suggest skipping the parks entirely, you could do it and still have a great vacation. Maybe it's the last day of your vacation or maybe you just want to explore the property a little to see what else Disney has to offer. With that in mind, here are just a few of the many things to see and do without ever having to pay for a park admission ticket.
Disney World wouldn't be much of a resort destination without golf. With three courses (four if you include the onsite Four Seasons course) and one nine-hole walking course, there's a wide variety of play options for fans of the sport. Even if you think you're terrible at golf or you've never tried before, this is a good place to start. Resort courses are notoriously less punishing than most courses (people don't need a stroke on vacation) and even if you do play horribly, at least you're still in Disney so you can't be that upset. If the full-fledged sport still seems like too much of an undertaking, Disney also offers two thematically different mini golf courses. Fantasia Gardens (located near the Boardwalk) is themed after its namesake film and even features a more traditional putting green course for those who want to just work on their short game. Winter Summerland Miniature Golf is located at Blizzard Beach and has two courses themed after winter and summer. For those concerned about having to purchase a water park ticket to play here, no need to worry. The mini golf course may be located at Blizzard Beach but it's actually outside of the Blizzard Beach entrance.

Daisy Lauren's Best Week Ever: November 20, 2014
Hi, Everyone! Welcome to the Best Week Ever here at Walt Disney World! This week we're taking a look at resort decorations at Disney's Contemporary Resort and Disney's Grand Floridian Resort, then heading to the Magic Kingdom to check out the Jingle Cruise, and wrapping up with meeting Baymax at Disney's Hollywood Studios. We might even sneak in a little mini golf! So let's get started! Anyone that's read before knows that I normally try to start with a smaller photo, but this one was too good to shrink. This is the new Frozen gingerbread display for this year at Disney's Contemporary Resort. It replaces a gingerbread tree with a more colorful Small World theme from years past.

Disney World Crowd Report – November 9 to 15, 2014
Our resort level predictions for the days around Veterans Day hit the mark but last week was marred by the largest surprise crowd at Magic Kingdom that we have ever seen. About 4% of the time we expect our crowd calendar park level predictions to miss by more than two index levels, about 1% miss by three or more. Never has our Magic Kingdom prediction missed by five levels as it did on Saturday. Last year's crowd on the same day was a level '3′ at the Magic Kingdom. We are still not entirely sure what caused the influx of guests to Magic Kingdom on Saturday but judging by the crowd levels since then, it appears to be an isolated occurrence.
Let's look at how the crowd levels stacked up each day last week on the Touringplans Disney World Crowd Report:
Using an iPhone 6 Plus at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom
It took nearly two months of waiting, but my precious pre-ordered iPhone 6 Plus finally arrived last week. And where was one of the first places I took it? Why, Walt Disney World, of course! When Apple's supersized smartphone debuted back in September, this Techcrunch article on using the new "phablet" inside Disneyland caught my eye. Since theme park reporting is one of the primary reasons I upgraded my iDevice, I wanted to write this companion piece sharing my initial experiences using the iPhone 6 Plus at WDW's Magic Kingdom.
Yes, the iPhone 6 Plus is freaking ginormous, especially for the first few hours you hold it. Then it starts to seem normal, and your old phone begins to look puny in comparison. While riding attractions, the phone fit fine in the front pocket of my not-so-skinny jeans, and emerged again afterwards with nary a bend in sight. Read the rest of this entry »

Video: 2014 Jingle Cruise at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom
'Tis the season to deck the jungle with holly — and hammy jokes — as the 2014 Jingle Cruise is now underway at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom. Last week, the seasonal overlay to the Jungle Cruise returned for a second annual run, this time with some notable upgrades.
Last year's inaugural Jingle Cruise was criticized for confining the custom scenery largely to the Jungle Cruise's boathouse queue, and for some jokes that were staler than fruitcake. As you can see in the following Jingle Cruise POV videos, more holiday decor has been installed along the riverbanks, and the spiel has been adjusted appropriately to reflect the additions.
Menu Monday: Late Arrival Day Food Choices at Disney World
The Walt Disney World Resort area has tons of options for dining, from quick service restaurants, places to get snacks, or regular table service restaurants, to fancy, signature dining experiences. However, sometimes there seems to be no options other than the $2 vending machine crackers at your resort, once you're on the property, especially if you don't have a vehicle and are relying on Disney transportation. To avoid the stress of trying to track down dining options for your late arrival, I have gathered a listing for restaurants that stay open late, so you can avoid wandering around hungry. In addition, I listed the items available on the menu, written in plain language for easy understanding (i.e., it might be Oak-Grilled Salmon with a Selection of Winter Greens, but I'll simplify it down to Grilled Salmon). Obviously, both hours and menus are subject to change, but you can check with Cast Members at the park or at your resort upon check in to ensure that these options are still available and open late. Here goes!
Menu Monday: Best Counter Service Restaurants in Magic Kingdom
Picking your favorite Walt Disney World counter/quick service restaurant is like picking your favorite child, sure on some days you may like one more than the other (come on, we've all been there!), but overall, you just can't choose a favorite! Dining in Walt Disney World has become a favorite past time among repeat guests. And now, more often than not, first time guests have their own "bucket list" of restaurants to eat at or snack to try. With this increase in demand and expectation, Disney has responded by adding more restaurants and expanding the menus of their current restaurants. These adjustments also come with price increases. As Mr. Gold/Rumpelstiltskin from ABC's Once Upon A Time always reminds us, "all magic comes with a price" even Disney's pixie-dusted munchies. But fear not intrepid traveler and foodie, you can indulge your taste buds and save your budget with the counter/quick service restaurants available at every Disney Park and resort. But with literally, over a hundred to choose from (seriously, 102 – I counted!), I'm here to help you select the best of the best, park by park and even among the resorts. This article will focus on the counter service options of the Magic Kingdom. The focus will be on restaurants that offer a full meal option. Though there are many additional locations I could have included in this list, I narrowed it down to exclude those counter locations that really only sell snacks. After watching hours of Master Chef and Chopped, I've devised a ranking system that will incorporate four criteria into the ultimate calculation for the best counter service meals. The criteria are:
- Best value (portion/cost ratio) = 10 points
- Flavor = 10 points
- Originality = 5 points
- Atmosphere = 5 points
- Grand total = 30 possible points
Be Our Guest – New Fantasyland
This latest addition to the Magic Kingdom dining line-up has everyone crazed to make dinner reservations or snag the elusive lunch FastPass+ option. The menu is a bit pricier than other counter service option, and it's only available as a counter service during the lunch hours (10:30am to 2:30pm). Starting at 4pm, Be Our Guest is considered a Table Service restaurant where prices increase and the menu changes a bit.

Traveling with a Disney Curmudgeon
They live among us. They look just like you and me. They are….the Disney Curmudgeon.
Disney Curmudgeon (Dis·ney cur·mudg·eon): noun. 1. A person who possesses a strong dislike or disinterest of all things Disney.
I know my fair share of Disney Curmudgeons. In fact, I live with one. My husband, Michael, doesn't share my obsession and love of everything Disney. He is a great sport (He dressed up as Smee and Mickey Mouse for me, so he must be!) and there are some aspects of Walt Disney World he really does enjoy. However, whenever I bring up a future Disney trip, his eyes say, "Really? again!?," but his mouth smiles and says, "We can see about that honey."
Although it may be in my nature to throw the book (and by book, I mean the Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World) at him and spend hours explaining why Disney World is the best place ever, it would result in a negative outcome on both sides. Instead, working with him and catering a little more to his needs can reduce the stress and make our vacation much more enjoyable.

SATURDAY SIX: Six Reasons We Love Disney's Contemporary Resort
This week's SATURDAY SIX takes a look at Six Reasons We Love Disney's Contemporary Resort. After examining some of the value resorts on Disney property, including Pop Century and Art of Animation, it's time to head straight to the top of the WDW resort food chain and see the benefits a deluxe resort brings to the table. First stop, The Contemporary. As a long time Disney fan, I have wanted to stay at The Contemporary since I was a little kid, but my parents always booked hotels off-site to save money. As an adult planning my own trips, I would often price out a stay at The Contemporary, only to end up choosing a cheaper alternative myself. I'm not a big fan of the cliche you only live once, but if there is one thing I have learned in life, it's that the biggest regrets are not doing things when you have the chance, because those opportunities may not be around forever. So whether it was philosophical reasons, or the fact that I felt the awesome Contemporary Resort Monorail Toy Accessory was taunting me, I decided to fulfill a near lifelong dream and book a stay at The Contemporary this year.
Now that it is crossed of the bucket list I can report back that…. I loved it. The stay confirmed several things I thought The Contemporary would be like, and opened my eyes to amenities I did not know much about before. Today we are going to countdown six takeaways from my experience, starting with…
# 6 – A Million Dollar View
The views from The Contemporary A-Frame building are spectacular. One side faces Bay Lake, the other faces the Magic Kingdom. Waking up in the morning we could see Disney's Polynesian Resort Village, the Grand Floridian, the monorail passing by, ferry boats in the lake, the Walt Disney World Railroad, and not to mention the Magic Kingdom itself, with icons such as Cinderella's Castle and Space Mountain. I've stayed at on-site hotels at various theme park resorts, and hotels across the United States including Las Vegas, Boston, San Diego, Times Square, and Hawaii, but this was the most amazing view I have ever had. I was able to enjoy fireworks and the Electrical Water Pageant, two of my favorite things at WDW, from the room. I was speechless. I knew it would be good. I didn't know it would be this good.


text: This is an example of how a place can go from good to not good over the years. The food is no bargain at all, the steak sandwiches we had were dry and I mean as the Mojave Desert. Cold fries, Bad service. I give it an average because it may have been an "off" day, but they didn't take... More

Apple loses right to iPad name in China
Send this to a friend
- Staff Orlando Business Journal
An iPad by any other name may have to be made by Apple Inc. if it wants to sell its popular tablets in China, the Silicon Valley/San Jose Business Journal reports. The Cupertino company lost a patent lawsuit in that country this week in which it tried to bar China-based Proview Technology from use of the name.
The flat panel display maker argued it had reserved the right to continue using the name after Apple purchased its parent company. The company said it had registered the name in several countries as early as 2000 and got a trademark on it in China in 2001.
Apple didn't start selling its iPads until 2010.
Proview, reportedly on the verge of bankruptcy, said it plans to seek more than $1 billion in a separate lawsuit against Apple.

Missing woman found near woodsSeptember 23,2013Missing woman
found near woods
ROCHESTER Vermont State Police say a 22-year-old Rochester woman who was reported missing Friday has been found.
Police say Jenny Kobbs walked out of some woods Sunday morning in Braintree near the place where she was last seen.
Officials say Kobbs was screened by an emergency crew with White River Ambulance but refused further medical treatment. She was taken to a state police barracks for additional screening.
Kobbs was reported missing after leaving her parents home. Police say she was last seen around 1:30 a.m. Friday after talking to a neighbor, but had not been heard from since.
At the time of her disappearance, officials said there were no indications of foul play, but they were concerned she may have had a reaction to a prescribed medication.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER Controlling costs and ensuring educational opportunity across the state are two of...

The Stakes Are High For Mclaren In Monaco
Mclaren will be hoping they can strike it lucky on the streets of Monte Carlo this weekend after the team suffered another poor weekend in Barcelona. Jenson Button and Kevin Magnussen finished in eleventh and twelfth respectively in Spain, despite a number of upgrades being fitted. But the Woking outfit will be hoping Monaco can provide some much needed good fortune. "I hope we can enjoy a better race than our two previous outings," said a hopeful Button. "We'll need to get the absolute maximum from the car in qualifying and on the first lap to be in with a chance to put up a fair showing." Button is relishing the chance to tackle the streets for the first time in a turbocharged...

Have you tried running sfc /scannow in command prompt.System repair in Safe mode.Or system restore to a date before you got the problems.
chkdsk, did yo go to my computer,right click c drive and choose properties. Then tools and then check.Both boxes must be ticked.
If you tried that with chkdsk and it still never fixed it maybe it is a new hard drive that you need.

Hey Alex, do you have backups of your files? If so you might want to wipe the disk clean then do a fresh install of Windows 7 but this time make sure you partition the drive during windows installation then restore your files after. Why did you want to shrink your C drive? why not just install a second drive?

Creating wellness programs that work
Send this to a friend
- Melissa Kossler Dutton, DBJ Contributor
Creating a successful wellness program takes more than inviting the local hospital in to perform a few health screenings.
Companies looking to run a worthwhile program need to have a thoughtful plan, said William Baun, president of the National Wellness Institute.
Successful wellness programs require engaged leadership at all levels of the company, input from employees and good communication, he said. When it comes to meeting the program's goals, a good plan is more important than a lot of capital, he said.
"It takes an organized effort," he said from his office in Houston. "You want to start where it's going to work."
Wellness programs – which run the gamut from walking clubs to company-operated fitness centers and healthy food choices in the cafeteria – can help businesses reduce their health-care costs and improve productivity by creating a healthier, happier workforce.
Health-care costs at companies that consistently offer a wellness program increase at a 15 percent slower rate, according to a 2011 study by insurer Highmark Inc. The study found that the savings per participant was $332.
Encouraging more companies to offer a comprehensive workplace health program is one of the national objectives of Healthy People 2020, a federal initiative designed to create a healthier population.
Researcher and Baylor University professor Ann Mirabito has identified six factors that contribute to quality workplace wellness programs. She published a study with Baun and another expert on the topic in 2010. The successful companies that the group researched did not necessarily incorporate all six of the qualities – but they all took a comprehensive approach to their programs, she said.
Like Baun, Mirabito sees a need for company leadership as being critical to success.
"The CEO must not be just a supporter but a cheerleader for the wellness program," she said.
The CEO also must choose wisely when selecting an employee to administer the program. The person must be passionate about the job and "be full of integrity," she said. That's because health issues are sensitive and employees will not participate if they don't trust the person in charge, Mirabito explained.
It also is useful to find members of the work force to promote the program's value, Baun said.
"You have to have people out there who are enthusiastic about the program," he said.
The program also must be incorporated into the company's culture, Mirabito said. When wellness aligns with the company's mission or business plan, programs have a greater chance of success, she explained. Companies that emphasize worker safety or are related to health care often have good success with their programs.
Employees must view the programs as high quality and relevant to their lives, Mirabito said.
"Wellness is dealing with a very personal part of employees' lives," she said. "If they don't feel the program is high quality, they are not going to get engaged."
The best way to engage employees is to get their input while planning the program, Baun said. Find out what health, diet or exercise issues are most important to employees and develop programs that address the concerns, he said.
Employees need to be able to access the program in a way that's convenient to them. If the company operates around-the-clock, programs, classes and exercise facilities have to be available during every work shift, he said. Companies can make wellness more accessible by providing on-site classes, discussions and coaching opportunities, Mirabito said. Even small changes such as making the food at the cafeteria or in the vending machines more healthy helps employees, she said. The programs should include employees on every level from the cleaning crew to the top managers, Baun said.
Identifying community partners that can help employees often contributes to the success of a wellness program, Mirabito said. Partnerships with other organizations can help companies give their employees access to health services that the company cannot provide, she said.
Partnerships with the YMCA, for example, can provide a way for employees to exercise. Some companies work with hospitals or medical centers to provide a health clinic at the office.
One challenge companies will face is maintaining communication with employees, Mirabito said. Often, the job involves sharing "complex information that employees are not interested in hearing," she said. Companies should look at all the communication tools they have available to them when conveying the information, she said. Posters, email, internal websites and newsletters all should be considered.
"The communications need to be ongoing and they need to be novel and interesting to employees," she said.
Once a wellness program is established, company leaders need to do more than nurture it, Mirabito said. She recommends they set goals and measure progress. Employers can track progress by looking at health-care costs, employee morale and productivity.
"This is not a feel good, nice-to-do initiative," she said. "It's one of the most powerful initiatives a CEO can do."
