MRSA screening of staff....
- 0May 6, '12 by sauconyrunner
- I did a search and I found some threads but none that I found were recent, so I thought I would pose the question here.
One surgeon at our facility wants to have all the Operating Theatre staff swabbed for MRSA screening.
I am not against this or actually for it. Some of our patients do come back with Post op MRSA infection. It is not, however, the predominant micro-organism that is infecting our patients. (Since most patients go home after many big procedures it's hard to know exactly where they got the infection when it is a superficial infection, not a deep or organ space infection.) While we do not screen our patients (unless the MD wants to) all our Pt's are decolonized the day of surgery regardless of screen or no screen.
I was asked to investigate the legal side of this, as well as the practical side. So far all articles I have looked at seem to support the screening and treatment of staff. Sadly most indicate that staff usually become re-colonized and their MRSA becomes more resistant to the treatments. So, it seems like it is not worth the expense.
Anyone have any information they can point me to? Especially about the re-colonization. Its tough as most articles only followed the people de-colonized for 3-6 weeks... THanks all. This is an infection control topic really, but I think more eyes will see it in general nursing!
- 0May 6, '12 by blondy2061h, MSN, RNSo what happens when people come back for MRSA? They lose their job?
- 0May 6, '12 by sauconyrunnerNo... they are treated. and can come back to work when clear. Just like any other infectious disease. Problem is that people can become re-colonized. I don't have a problem treating staff etc, but...I don't want it to be a revolving thing, and frankly speaking those who test negative can also later become carriers....
Now over the years we have found a few people who were chronic carriers of other things due to psoriasis and other conditions (fingernail infections). When they could not completely clear the infection they did have to be reassigned from the Operating Theatre, as they were the source of the infections. But they were not fired. It was unfortunate if they truly loved the OR but...no one wants to be a typhoid Mary either. (One was a lady who actually only delivered supplies. She was perfectly happy to deliver supplies to other parts of the hospital.
- 8May 6, '12 by blondy2061h, MSN, RNSo then who is paying for all this sick time while people are out being treated for something that little evidence suggests can be completely cured? Who is staffing the OR while people are out being treated? I'd be ticked if I was put on antibiotics for an asymptomatic colonization and then got c-diff. The more we use antibiotics the more super bugs like MRSA we'll see.
- 1May 6, '12 by loriangel14 GuideI don't think that you can become "recolonized". Once you are colonized you stay that way don't you?
- 1May 6, '12 by NRSKarenRN, BSN, RN Admin
- 6May 6, '12 by JZ_RNIf I wasn't sick I wouldn't be taking antibiotic medications for an asymptomatic "infection" and I would not be getting put out of work because of something I probably picked up AT work. There's a reason we scrub, glove, and gown.
Patient safety is important but at the price of staff safety, health, and autonomy in their own lives and health.... no. It's a privacy issue too.. I mean, my workplace is not privy to all my personal information, I have privacy under HIPPA too. There's a reason we use standard precautions.
- 4May 6, '12 by Sun0408If you don't test all pre-op pts how do you know they didn't have MRSA before the surgery ?? Sounds like staff is being blamed for something the pts themselves could already have. Im not sure but I don't think one tx will de-colonize a pt. We treat ours for 5 days.
- 3May 6, '12 by Sun0408Oh and I hope that one surgeon will swab him or herself with the rest of the staff..

LOS ANGELES, February 12, 2013 – I have dedicated my career to exploring the world of aphrodisiac foods. As you may have guessed, this time of year I'm always bombarded with questions relating to creating a special evening.
My first suggestion is to skip the restaurant and the overpriced bouquet of out-of-season flowers and go old school. In other words, I encourage everyone to treat that special someone to an evening that is homemade and heartfelt – at least once.
Here are some of my best tips for DIY romance:
1. Set the Scene: Why go all out to prepare a romantic meal or present a sensational gift in a house that looks like it survived an attack from Hurricane Husband? (Hurricane Boyfriend, Hurricane Girlfriend, Hurricane Deadline or Hurricane Triplets–you insert the appropriate meteorological disaster.)
If you can't clean it up, just turn out the lights. No, seriously, this is your special night, too! Shove what you can under the couch and light a fist full of candles to give everything, including your skin, a glow.
Note: Be sure to skip the scented candles if your plans–which they should–involve a meal. The powerful scent of the candles will kill the more subtle aromas of your culinary masterpiece.
I also recommend adding a bit of texture. I'm huge on creating dishes with multiple textures for the ultimate sensual experience. This principal can be applied to your environment, too.
I have a furry blanket and a couple of cool, slippery, satin pillows that I like to work into the scene for a picnic in front of a crackling fire.
2. Do it After Hours: Don't add to the pressure of putting together an evening that exudes romance by struggling to find a babysitter who can fit your schedule. And don't let surprise work deadlines squash your aspirations for a night not to forget.
Whether it's Champagne and homemade chocolates in a bath tub for two or cold sandwiches and a book of poetry in bed, there are options for romance that don't involve stress. Give yourself permission to pick a simple way to celebrate the day, even if you don't get to begin your evening together until after the rest of the neighborhood has called it a night.
3. Go Light on Liquor: You are probably planning to ply your amour with a bit of liquor. I usually do. But there's a tendency, especially if you're opening a special bottle of wine or serving a multi course menu, to overindulge in alcohol.
Not good if your ultimate goal for the evening is to dance the horizontal tango.
Then a big night of booze is an absolute no-go. (Not to mention the embarrassment of showing up at work the next morning sporting the effects of a bender.) Consider sipping cocktails or a glass of wine each to begin then select a nice half bottle of wine to split with the meal.
Don't forget to serve a side of water to help wash down any ill effects of the alcohol.
4. Keep the Menu Simple: In my world, a romantic interlude must always involve food. But you don't have to slave away in the kitchen to do it "right." After all, you want to save your energy for more important things!
In planning your menu, I recommend choosing dishes that can be prepared in advance. One of my favorites is the Moist Mango Meatloaf in my first book, Fork Me, Spoon Me: the sensual cookbook.
Other great choices include a selection of sushi ingredients you can roll together or even something as simple as a cheese fondue with an assortment of bread, fruits and vegetables you can feed one another as you unwind for the evening. Whatever you choose, keep the meal light.
A rack of lamb and mashed potatoes will have you thinking bed, but for all the wrong, or at least unromantic reasons.
Spices like pepper, ginger, cardamom and clove can help raise the body temperature and also help you feel a bit more energized, as can coffee. Fish, mussels and oysters will give you the sustained energy of high quality protein. And fruits are always wonderful for helping you feel light and refreshed.
Many also contain a healthy dose of antioxidants to keep you looking and feeling your best for years to come. For additional reference, I've put together an extensive list of aphrodisiac ingredients for EatSomethingSexy.com.
5. Don't Cook Naked: Seriously. Ok, maybe there's something cute about cooking in nothing other than an apron, the occasional flash of flesh set to seduce. But not only is it impossible to pose seductively the entire time you're whipping and chopping your way to a romantic dinner, cooking in the nude is downright dangerous. There are parts of your body that should never be exposed to a wok, frying pan or hot broiler tray.
And heaven forbid you attempt to work the barbeque!

Face of Another (Tanin no kao) (1966)
Description: Bearing traces of both Frankenstein and the 1959 Georges Franju horror classic Eyes without a Face, the Japanese The Face of Another is a disturbing Japanese drama featuring Tatsuya Nakadai. His face horribly disfigured in an accident, Nakadai, a wealthy industrialist, commissions a special mask from a renowned plastic surgeon. Nakadai's wife fails to recognize her husband and makes advances to him, which effectively destroys their relationship. Driven insane, Nakadai turns to murder to compensate for the loss of his identity. The melodramatic elements of the film are neatly blended with moments of erotica and generous doses of existential philosophy. The Face of Another is another thought-provoking documentary fantasy from the director of the cult classic Woman in the Dunes.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Registration is now open for all three Credit Union Development Education (DE) training classes in 2014. This will be the first time three DE Trainings are held in a single year, with the first program taking place January in Chapel Hill, N.C. followed by trainings in April and September in Madison, Wis. Attendees of the National Credit Union Foundation's (NCUF) six-day total immersion experience will learn about credit unions' social responsibility and domestic and international development through interactive education and professional networking.
"There is such a demand right now for DE Training that we've decided to hold an additional training next year in North Carolina," said Lois Kitsch, NCUF's National Program Director. "The past few programs have been filling up months ahead of time and we also realize the positive impact that even more DE Training alumni can have on the credit union movement."
The next training is September 4-11, 2013 in Madison, Wis. and has been sold out since June of this year.
After attending the last training in May of 2013, David Paltza, Real Estate Loan Officer at Eagle Community Credit Union in Lake Forest, Calif., said, "For me, the DE experience was legendary! It did more than change my life, it revolutionized it, as I bonded with CEOs and frontline employees alike. Through case studies, life simulations, and team projects, my eyes were opened to the greater credit union movement, exploring everything from its history, to philosophy, to legislative advocacy. I certainly didn't return home the same way I came and I am honored to join the ranks of passionate individuals and organizations who continue to impact the world through the cooperative movement." (Read more testimonials here)
2014 Locations & Registration
The first DE training will take place January 22-29, 2014 at the Rizzo Conference Center, which is by the University of North Carolina campus in Chapel Hill, N.C. The next two trainings will be held April 23-30, 2014 and September 10-17, 2014 at The Lowell Center, which is part of the University of Wisconsin campus in Madison, Wis. This is also the first time that registration for all the year's DE trainings are open at the same time as opposed to only being able to register for the earliest upcoming training.
The registration fee includes seven nights of single-room lodging, as well as all training materials and meals.
Who Should Attend – And Why
DE training is open to everyone from new employees who need a credit union orientation to seasoned executives who need to recharge. Participants cite many benefits of attending DE training:
CUDEs return to their jobs with new understanding of how to promote cooperative principles and credit union values as distinct advantages in today's competitive financial services marketplace.
DE Registration (includes links to scholarship information): http://www.ncuf.coop/home/programs/developmenteducation/Registration/Registration.aspx
Registration can also be found on the NCUF website by clicking the "Register for DE Training" button on the homepage or anywhere on the website under "Foundation Programs>Development Education>Register for 2014 DE Trainings" at the top of every page.
"For those looking for help with funding, many state credit union foundations and leagues offer scholarships to DE Training in addition to the national DE Scholarship offered," noted Kitsch.
More about the DE Program:
The mission of the Credit Union Development Education (DE) program is to promote credit unions' social responsibility and domestic and international development through interactive adult education and professional networking. By linking credit unions' past and present, the DE program brings renewed relevance to credit unions' seven cooperative principles and the philosophy of "People Helping People."
Since 1982, more than 1,000 credit union advocates from over 30 countries have graduated from DE Training to become Credit Union Development Educators (CUDEs). Once they earn their CUDE designation, people return to their jobs with a sense of personal enrichment and renewed energy to share what they have learned. This growing corps of credit union advocates devotes professional and volunteer time to spreading the credit union message to audiences throughout the country.
The National Credit Union Foundation is the primary sponsor of the DE program. Support is provided by CUNA Mutual Group, the Credit Union National Association, the World Council of Credit Unions, state foundations and leagues.
For more information on the DE program, visit www.ncuf.coop under Foundation Programs.

Battle of the Best at Renaissance High
Pershing, Douglass earn tournament victories
By Harry M. Anderson, Jr.
Special to the Michigan Citizen
Pershing captured their second victory of the season, turning back a very good, previously unbeaten squad from Ypsilanti. The Doughboys (2-1) defeated the Grizzlies 57-52 at the Prep Spotlight Battle of the Best Basketball Classic at Renaissance High School Dec. 21.
Free throws by Marquel Ingram and Amani Felder in the closing seconds sealed the victory for the Doughboys. Ingram led his team in scoring with a game-high 21 points. Justin Tillman, who had a strong game for the Doughboys, scored 14. The Grizzlies (2-1) got 16 points from Janeau Joubert and 12 points from Jacob Summers.
The game was quick and aggressive with fireworks on both sides. Ypsilanti led by one (16-15) after one period of play. The Doughboys held the Grizzlies to eight points and scored 14 themselves to lead 29-24 at halftime. The Doughboys led 41-37 through three periods, but Ypsilanti pulled to within one on two occasions in the fourth period (49-48, 53-52). The Doughboys defense bent, but didn't break.
Douglass Academy's game with Saginaw was the fourth game of the day. Douglass (1-2) won its first game of the season as the Hurricanes defeated the Trojans 70-65. Saginaw stayed in step and ahead of Douglass as the Trojans led 15-15 after one period and 33-29 at the half. The second half belonged to the Hurricanes who dominated the boards on the both ends of the court.
Both squads had four players in double figures. Daavi Bradley led the Hurricanes in scoring with 23 points. DeShawn Sanders scored 17, Adontus Pettway scored 13 while Terrell Hayes added 11. The Trojans got 15 points from Ronquanous Southward, 12 from Algevon Eichelberger, 11 from Jerry Smith and 10 from Reyon Addison.
Cass Tech lost its first game of the season as the Technicians faced a hot-shooting squad from Birmingham Country Day. The Yellowjackets hit five three-pointers in the second half to defeat the Technicians, 80-75.
The Technicians dominated the first half, hitting many baskets in the paint and under the basket. They led 25-18 after the first quarter and 47-36 at the half. The Yellow Jackets held the Technicians to nine points in the third period while pouring in 23 points of its own. In the fourth period, the Technicians pulled within one at 67-67, took lead at 68-67 and tied the game at 70-70. The Yellowjackets hit big baskets down the stretch to clinch the victory.
Kenneth Carpenter and Robert Edwards scored 17 apiece, Michael Laster scored 13 and Charles Key scored 12 for the Technicians. The Yellow Jackets had three players in double figures: Edmund Sumner with 30, Macea Baston with 16, and Nazar Wallace with 15.
D'Cari Charleston was the only player in double figures for Southeastern with 11points as the Jungaleers (0-4) were routed by Consortium Collegiate Prep 58-43. Josh Jackson led the Cougars with 28 points while Luster Johnson had 12. The Jungaleers played hard and scrappy but were overmatched by the Cougars. The Jungaleers led 11-7 after one period, but Consortium poured it on holding Southeastern to fewer than ten points in the second and third periods.
East English Village (1-2), who played in the first game of the tournament, lost to Ann Arbor Huron 65-60. Mar'Qwell Jackson and Kamari Newman scored 13 points each for East English Village. Also scoring for the Bulldogs were Dietrich Cole and Cedrick Lattimore, who scored 11 points each.

Spending time with writing tools opens new doors for using Smarthinking
by Stone Shiflet | July 10, 2009
All Capella learners who are registered for one or more courses are provided free access to Smarthinking. To being using these services, learners can visit www.capellawritingcenter.org, click on the first link under 'Resources' on that page (titled 'tutoring'), and follow the prompts to make an account. Any one in the general public can use Smarthinking, but the fees can mount quickly, so to avoid being charged fees for the service, Capella learners must make the account using the prompts provided at the location noted above. Once the account is established, learners can use the account with the password and ID that they create.
On that same Writing Center public home page, learners can find new ways to ask for feedback from Smarthinking. The Writing Feedback Tool (WFT) on the public page (second link under 'Resources') provides users with a common language to use when talking about academic writing. The WFT starts with critical reading (category 1) and moves all the way through 11 categories, including organization, APA format, grammar, mechanics.
Here's how the WFT can make Smarthinking a more effective tool. Smarthinking tutors are experts in rhetoric and composition. The Capella Writing Process resources are written and maintained by experts who use the same vocabulary and vernacular as those experts at smarthinking. Over the last year, the Writing Across the Curriculum program has worked with faculty and learners from all Schools to develop this feedback tool to create a common, standard language to use when talking about academic writing. The Smarthinking tutors are familiar with these terms and concepts. Therefore, learning the categories and definitions of the WFT process provides learners with a better way to talk to their faculty and the Smarthinking tutors who are also familiar with that common language.
It takes time to define one's own academic writing process. The 11-step WFT is the first tool to help get writers on the path to seeing the layers of that process. Once writers begin to chart a process, they can make more effective use of their time by dividing the process in to stages–reading, drafting and/or outlining, revising, and polishing. The WFT offers tools to grow each step in that process, and the tutors at Smarthinking are equipped to understand the complexities of this graduate writing process.
So as writers prepare to use smarthinking, imagine this scenario. When writers submit papers to Smarthinking, they are asked questions, and the writers can be as vague or as specific as they choose; feedback is provided either way. However, if a writer asks a specific question (ex: I am working on organization–can you read the passages on pages 9-22 and locate areas in which my organization seems off focus for my main ideas), the feedback from the Smarthinking tutor is more focused and detailed.
Writers are then encouraged to send the text back at the next stage of the writing process (in the case of the example above, imagine that first submission was for the draft, and the second submission might be for polish and revision, so the request might move to a smaller detail, like asking about feedback on citation style or grammar).
The more writers use the WAC tools in conjunction with Smarthinking, the more fluent writers become in Capella's 11-step process for academic writing. Remember: being a part of Capella is a life-long relationship, so learning the process now sets the foundation for academic work and for top shelp wriitng for publication beyond graduation. Work to keep that in mind as you use these tools to advance the academic community at Capella, and Happy Writing!
One Response to "Spending time with writing tools opens new doors for using Smarthinking"
Cathy Worthington says:
I have just turned in Chapters 1-5 and my diss. has been approved by 2 committee members so far. Is it too late to send to Smarthinking? I am concerned about there being a part that may be considered plagiarizing.
I want to make sure all is clear.
Also, I have heard different views about using ones own work. I wrote question 4 of comps to provide support for my topic and used several of my own phrases. Will this be a problem?

It really adds to my quality of life."

If you're good at writing/piping, my vote is buttercream. It's quick and easy.
Gosh, that IS a lot of writing... would printing it off on an edible sheet be an option for you?

No sport experiences more change year to year than high school football, and if early results are any indication, Friday's Valley Vista-Willow Canyon grudge match will provide a clear example of this theory.
In last year's 8-7 Willow Canyon victory, both teams hugged the ground like a new set of tires. The Surprise rivals combined for 79 rushing attempts, versus 20 passes. On several plays, only one receiver ran a route.
This year, both teams have new starting quarterbacks. And in week one, the coaches had enough faith in them to put the ball up.
"Both teams are taking advantage of personnel this year, and both believe they have the personnel to throw more," Valley Vista coach Jason Wilke said.
Valley Vista junior Dalvin Richardson connected on seven of 11 attempts in the 47-6 victory over Phoenix Trevor Browne, and he made them count. Five went for touchdowns, with four scores going for 44 yards or more.
Meanwhile, senior Taylor Nezdoba made his varsity debut for the Wildcats, going 9 for 19 for 181 yards in the 28-21 loss to Deer Valley. Nezdoba had two long tosses of his own, a 42-yarder to junior Antony Thompson and a 60-yarder to senior Diantre Harding.
"I think Valley's kid is a great kid and a good quarterback. They've got decent speed at receiver. By looking at them on film, it looked like they wanted to go to the air," Willow Canyon coach Michael Hudnutt said. "From our standpoint, just to have the ability to throw the ball down the field is going to help our offense in the long run."
Don't expect too many empty-backfield sets Friday. These teams still prefer to run. Willow Canyon remains a power I formation team at heart. Valley Vista will line up in the three-back double wing formation about as much as the spread.
But with weapons like Harding and Thompson, and seniors Gio Pascascio and Jonah Seifert, both offenses can diversify.
Though Valley Vista enters with a better record, the Monsoon knows it's the underdog until it records its first win in this neighborhood struggle. Willow Canyon controlled first three matchups.
In 2010, Valley Vista jumped to an early 7-0 lead, then watched the Wildcats slowly chip away and grab the advantage in the final five minutes. The Monsoon drove the ball into the red zone, but a sack ended their hopes.
The pain of this near miss remains. And the Monsoon must wait an extra hour for a chance at redemption. Kickoff was pushed to 8 p.m. Friday because of the recent extreme high temperatures.
"I've been waiting a long time to win against Willow. Playing them the last couple of years on varsity makes me want to beat them even more," Valley Vista senior center Kyle French said. "The first thing the coaches said this week is that everything has to be perfect. The only reason teams lose is because of mental mistakes."
Willow Canyon knows the Monsoon will ride a wave of emotion to start on their home field. The Wildcats want to erase their frustration from the opener, when they led Deer Valley 21-14 midway through the fourth quarter.
Eventually, though the game will settle down and will be decided by which team executes its game plan best.
"We try to approach every game as the biggest we're going to play. I know Valley's very excited to play us and to get us at their place again this year. It's important to have a rivalry within the district. I think it's a great think for our kids, our district and our community," Hudnutt said. "But it's the game for this week, and that's our concern. I tell the kids that if we work hard and do the things we should do, it's more about worrying about ourselves."
Both defenses rely more on speed and employ young three-man lines. So the running games could be relied on more than in week one. Thompson gained 120 yards on 24 carries. Valley Vista senior C.J. Palmer picked up 91 yards on seven totes.
The Wildcats want their smaller lineman to provide pressure while linebackers like Austin Desaulniers, Brian Keyes and Tim Tyndall make the bulk of the tackles.
Most of Valley Vista's defensive attention is focused on its back eight, particularly senior linebacker Jack Hastings and junior defensive backs Jacob Bukowiecki and Myles Spearman. But Wilke was proud of his inexperienced defensive lineman after week one.
"Our five-man rotation in our three-man front were our defensive MVPs," Wilke said. "There's some new guys in that group and it was good to see some guys growing in our system. They're getting up to speed because we want to play a fast defense."
That said, the coach knows Willow Canyon presents a far greater challenge for his defense — indeed for the whole team — than Trevor Browne. Wilke said the Bruins may not have even completed a pass against Valley Vista. Plus Willow Canyon plays faster across the board than Trevor Browne.
Conversely, Willow Canyon faced a ranked team from Division II and played them to a near-standstill. The Wildcats enter the battle for Surprise with history on their side.
"The entire weekend I thought, 'I can't believe we lost a really tough game.' Having Valley Vista right after that helped me not focus on the loss," senior left tackle Gabe Swaba said. "It's an intense game with our rivals, but we always go in feeling confident."

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Getting a refund/replacement is really easy at GS and Game. They come with prepaid shipping labels to return via post or you can just take them in store and they will swap it for a better copy, give you something of equal value or refund your credit card.
In my opinion they have the best returns out of anyone I've ever dealt with. You don't even need a reason and they barely ever ask why you are returning. I took a game back to them a few weeks ago that I'd ordered online to get a refund and then bought it straight back off them at a lower price with store credit seeing as it had a price drop. Can't beat that.

So the answer is yes. I have also found in my own use of RDF that it is sometimes important to have a collection construct that is "closed"; i.e. to which no new elements can be added through RDF graph merging. Not having this would make it impossible (I think) to express certain things without violating the basic RDF semantics. #g ------------------- Graham Klyne <email@example.com>Received on Tuesday, 25 February 2003 12:20:40 GMT

Group: Herding
History of Breed: Originally from Germany and exhibited in American in 1907, the German Shepherd is a descendant from old breeds of herding and farm dogs. Known for its intelligence and ability to be trained, German Shepherds are today for a number of special services, including police and military work, guiding and assisting elderly and disabled, and helping out with search and rescue missions. It's no surprise, then, that the breeds consistently ranks among the top 10 most popular dog breeds in the U.S.
Females - 55-72 pounds
Males - 77 to 85 pounds
Average life span: 9-13 years
Colors: Black and Tan, Red and Black, Black and Silver, Black, White, Grey or Sable
Common Health Issues: The breed is prone to hereditary diseases caused by indiscriminate breeding, include hip and elbow dysplasia, blood disorders, digestive problems, bloat, epilepsy, chronic eczema, keratitis, dwarfism and flea energies. German Shepherds are also prone to splenic tumors, DM, PI and perianal fistulas and von Willebrand's disease.
About the Breed: German Shepherds are loyal, protective dogs and highly intelligent to boot. They're athletic, fearless and capable of most any job they're given. German Shepherds have a lot of energy and need to be exercised frequently.
While they prefer to live indoors with the family, they need access to a large yard to run around in. They can become anxious if they're left alone, and obedience training is necessary to get them used to other people and dogs.
German Shepherds shed all year long, so be prepared for a nonstop flow of dog hair. To help, brush your dog two to three times a week. Also, check ears once a week, trim nails once a month, and brush teeth regularly with a soft toothbrush to help keep gums in good shape.

Firstly, David Yates as a direct is a bad move, as it was him who ruined Harry Potter (yes they were still popular, but the Chris Colombus ones were the best). Secondly, we have a good selection of writers that have done successful Who stories. Not just Moffat and RTD but people like Gareth Roberts, Gaiman and a long list. But will they choose a good writer? No. Thirdly, it's going to be non-canon like the Cushing movies. This just stinks of milking the cash-cow.

The lot of them don't seem to be entirely intelligent at all. Not many members of the general public are going to go see a Doctor Who movie. Your main target, therefore, is the fans of the show. Why wouldn't you want your movie, then, to target this popular property's audience? This show already has a properly established universe. To make a movie that excludes the people currently playing the Doctor and his companions makes no sense at all. Or even they could go back to someone who played the Doc and his companions and make a movie out of an adventure they had off the TV screen. Do something in the already established universe of the show. Do to anything else is beyond lunacy. It's like what the owners of the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" franchise are doing - making another movie, but outside of Whedon's already established universe. That's stupid beyond all reason, and doomed for failure. I love Doctor Who, but I'm not going to go see a movie that starts from scratch.

I do not like the idea of another film, the previous ones being mediocre at best. There is plenty of life left in the TV series; I confess to being sceptical when RTD took over but he did a fantastic job, but I found some of the stories under the first year of the "Moffat tenure" a little weak, the last series was better.

It implies that whatever we have been enjoying all these years were not worthy to be brought to the big screen.

So, are we supposed to put RTD and Moffat to pasture, after all that they had done, and sacrifice Doctor Who before the 'great' altar that is Hollywood?

If Yates is so keen to start from scratch, may I suggest he utilise his amazing talents to other projects more worthy of his time? Doctor Who's humble history is not worthy.

Those two franchises were dead on their own feet. That's why they worked.

Doctor Who clearly isn't and indeed is still going strong as a TV series. If it too was dead on it's feet, like in the 90's when they last attempted this, then I would see the point. But it's not. It's doing very well and it just seems like BBC Worldwide might be a little envious of it's little brother in Wales and wants a much bigger slice of the firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272431515083873489.post-8134564282286756082011-11-15T13:11:19.673Z2011-11-15T13:11:19.673ZIt's the starting from scratch bit I hate the ...It's the starting from scratch bit I hate the idea of. What's the point? Do they think cinema goers are stupid and won't understand there may have been a past to the franchise? Or that they'll draw in a totally new audience? Because they won't. Doctor Who is still Doctor Who, the people who don't like it won't watch a movie just because it's starting all over again and current fans will hate it because all that time they've invested in the history of the show is being thrown away.

Imagine if Yates had said, "J.K Rowling did a fantastic job with the books but we've got to start Harry Potter again from scratch to get it to the big screen..."? All hell would have broken loose. So why should DW suffer that fate?

slow internet puzzle
hi every1,
I had win 7(32 bit) ultimate installed and while downloading from sites like mediafire, megaupload I used to get transfer rate upto 300 Kb/sec (my broadband speed is 128b KBPS) then due to some problem I had to format my HD and install vista which came along with my PC. Now the problem is that using the same internet connection, I get about 70-80 Kb/sec from the same sites.
Could the slow transfer rate be due to vista? does it depend on OS also.
My PC is Q8300 2.5 GHz processor with 4 GB RAM and right now no other application is installed only McAfee security centre is running which was running on win 7 as well.
Pls help me as it is frustrating.
|My System Specs
|31 Jul 2010
If you have not long re-installed your OS then it may just be a network problem such as a lot of people on the web causing it to be jammed.
Give it a while and it should sort itself out.
As for your question, is it the OS then the OS won't cause the problem and I doubt that it's your firewall, you can go into your firewall options and see if port 80 is enabled that may speed things up.
It may also just be the sites that are experiencing trouble, so why don't you go to www.speedtest.net and test your broadband speed.
|My System Specs
|31 Jul 2010
Could it be due to the network configuration, I chose private network at the time of vista intallation.
By the way, internet speed test site gave a latency error
|My System Specs
|31 Jul 2010
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Google "how to disable half open TCP Connections limit in Vista" and follow the directions to do so and it should help your download speeds.
|My System Specs
|31 Jul 2010
Already half open TCP Connections limit in Vista are disabled.
pls suggest something else
|My System Specs
|31 Jul 2010
Contact your ISP and tell them that your connection is not working properly. If the speed checker is saying that your having problems with the latency then that may mean you have a fault on the actual broadband connection.
You should also download Malware bytes and give your PC a scan for malware, that may be causing your problems.
And just one more thing which may give you an idea of what's wrong. Re start your PC and when it boot's up again keep pressing the F8 button, this will take you into safe mode. Choose safe mode with networking then see what speeds your getting. If they go back to normal then it's being caused by something installed on your PC.

B-Stock Pedals
Pro Guitar Shop wants to help save you a little cash money on your journey to sonic utopia—we're now offering B-stock pedals for purchase! What's a "B-stock" pedal, you ask?! B-stocks are pedals that work perfectly, but… may have some cosmetic imperfections. This could mean: a flaw in the finish, a gouge in the enclosure, complete lack of original packaging, or any of a number of other conditions that prevent the pedal from being "A Stock." B-stock pedals are fully tested to ensure that they function normally. They're just a little less pretty. And a lot less expensive.
B-stock pedals come with a full manufacturer's warranty, but please note that B-stocks are not covered by PGS' 1 Year Warranty and: all B-stock sales are FINAL.
Coupon Codes are not valid on B-Stock Merchandise.
