The Right To Die, My View.
So I know this is a controversial topic and I know everyone has different views but this is my blog so I will give my view.
With people appealing to the government for the right to die, its a huge topic in the press right now and I have to say, its something that I feel really strongly about.
I have a friend called Kerry, she has MS too, she is older than me and her MS is alot further along than mine, she is someone I have met very few times however she is also someone who understands just how I feel.
She said something to me the first time I met her which will never leave me. This was, that one day we may be unable to walk, lift or even talk, we may be seen as 'useless' however our minds will still be in full thinking order, so essentially we would be trapped inside our own bodies.
I believe for people who have lived life with a severe disability, however they are still of sound mind, should be able to choose whether or not to carry on.
The people behind the decision making have no idea just what these people have gone though, the pain and the loss, always having to find other ways to do things most people take for granted. How can they really make a choice for someone else when they simply have no clue?!
I know if I ever reach the point where I cannot move, speak or simply do anything myself, I would want to end it. Not because I am selfish but because I would not want to live in a body where I could not even express myself, to not be able to have a conversation with my children and simply just sit waiting to die, starring into space and offering nothing to the world.
I would simply feel like a burden, like I was being kept alive to simply waste away.
Now I am not stupid, although I do believe certain people should be given the right to die, I also believe that the journey to that choice should be a long, carefully managed one.
I believe it should be far from easy and I know changing the law is a tough one, however people living with these severe disabilities are the only ones who really know how they feel, they are living it each day and I completely understand why some have simply had enough.

I agree. It shouldn't even be an issue in my opinion. We should be allowed to be in charge of our own destiny. People making the decisions for those affected probably know very little, or even nothing, about having a disability.

yep im with you there hun – I think its disgusting – we treat dogs better than humans
This post made me cry. I agree wholeheartedly. Nobody takes the decision lightly, and if they end up at that point they should be allowed to do it.
On a more cynical note, surely with this age of austerity and the government resenting anyone wanting anything from the NHS, you'd think they'd be well up for people being allowed to die rather than spend months or perhaps years needing more and more care and medication to survive in a life they are not enjoying.
A very interesting post about a difficult topic. For me choice is everything. Each individual should have the right to choose their own path. Having watched my father struggling to end his life at the end of terminal illness I feel very strongly that he should have been allowed to end his life peacefully and painlessly. A dog would not have been allowed to suffer as he did.Its a subject full of pitfalls and problems. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. X

SHAKOPEE, Minn. (KNSI) The Minnesota River is getting healthier, and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency says it shows efforts to reduce pollution from wastewater treatment systems are making the difference.
MPCA staff monitored a 20-mile stretch of the lower river for three weeks in August to see if the hot, dry summer and low flows would deplete oxygen levels, which had been a problem in previous droughts. Scientists were encouraged to find that oxygen levels remained high enough to support fish, bugs and other aquatic life despite the stressful conditions.
Officials credit the success to about $250 million in public and private investments to reduce phosphorous discharges all along the river.

1. Will the Patriots tilt toward their running game?
New England has relied upon Tom Brady's arm for years, but as the Patriots demonstrated late in the season, they're not afraid to rest on LeGarrette Blount's legs. The running back, acquired via trade in April, has solidified a running attack that finished ninth in the league this season.
2. What does Chris Harris' knee injury mean for the Broncos?
Denver already had one of the league's worst pass defenses, but the loss of Harris, a cornerback, to a torn ACL in his left knee last week in a victory over the San Diego Chargers only makes the Broncos more porous. Veteran Champ Bailey will likely see an expanded role, but at 35, there's a reason his responsibilities had been reduced.
3. How crucial is Russell Wilson to the Seahawks' success?
Wilson will need to score points for the Seahawks if they hope to have any chance of winning. He was mediocre last weekend in a victory over the New Orleans Saints when he completed nine of 18 passes for 103 yards and rushed three times for 18 yards.
4. Is the 49ers' defense overshadowed by their offense?
In a word, greatly. San Francisco has shut out its opponent for 35 quarters this season, including three of four quarters in a victory over the Carolina Panthers last season. But the unit may be overshadowed by its counterpart; Seattle had the league's best total defense and passing defense this season.
5. Will this be one of the more intriguing Super Bowls in some time?
Regardless of who wins the game, Super Bowl XLVIII will match two exciting offenses and have that coveted young quarterback vs. old quarterback storyline. The anticipation of that game will have been unmatched in recent years.
Seattle 21, San Francisco 20
Denver 29, New England 27

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

*House Committee Vote Masks Lack of Democratic Rank-and-File Support for
Bush NAFTA Expansion to* *Peru*
*/House Ways and Means Committee Shuts Out Public, Refuses to Hear
Discontent Over More-Of-The-Same NAFTA Trade Policy/*
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today's House Ways and Means Committee non-binding
vote on the Peru Free Trade Agreement (FTA) will be the high-water mark
of Democratic support for Bush's proposed expansion of the North
American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), Public Citizen predicted today.
The Bush-negotiated Peru NAFTA expansion, which became bogged down in
the past Congress, was revived by a deal between Ways and Means
Committee leaders and the administration. That deal and the modified
agreement have been the focus of considerable opposition by many
Democrats who are not on the trade committee.
"This deal is bad policy because it extends many of the most damaging
provisions of NAFTA and CAFTA, but what's incomprehensible are the
politics of a Democratic Congress passing another Bush NAFTA expansion
by a majority of Republicans and a small minority of Democrats," said
Lori Wallach, director of Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch division.
"This is especially incomprehensible after many of the freshmen
Democrats – who tipped the balance of power in Congress – were elected
by focusing on ending more-of-the-same trade policies."
Not one key Democratic base group supports the expansion of NAFTA
to Peru. Dozens of unions and environmental, consumer, Latino civil
rights, faith, development and family farm groups have called on
Congress to oppose the deal, which also is opposed by Peru's two labor
When some Democratic trade leaders announced in January 2007 that they
would engage the Bush administration to obtain changes to
Bush-negotiated NAFTA expansions to Peru, Panama, Colombia and South
Korea, unions and civil society groups listed minimal changes necessary
to avoid their opposition. Among the critical items that needed to be
removed or altered:
Foreign investor privileges identical to those found in NAFTA and
CAFTA that create incentives for U.S. firms to move offshore and
expose basic environmental, health, zoning and other laws to
attack in foreign tribunals;
Bans on "Buy America" and anti-offshoring policies;
Threats to renewable energy, recycled content and prevailing wage
procurement laws;
Limits on food import safety standards and inspection rates;
Agriculture rules identical to those found in NAFTA and CAFTA that
are projected to increase coca production and create rural unrest
in trade partners. Under NAFTA, these rules led to displacement of
1.3 million Mexican peasant farmers and a 60 percent increase in
immigration from Mexico to the U.S.;
Patent extensions that would provide large pharmaceutical
companies new protections that limit poor countries' access to
affordable medicines; and
Peru FTA terms that could subject that country to compensation
claims for reversing its Social Security privatization.
The groups also listed as necessary the addition of enforceable labor
and environmental standards. On May 10, some Democratic leadership
members and the White House agreed to add improved environmental and
labor standards to the trade agreements, but they failed to address many
terms that directly contradict Democrats' domestic agenda on food
safety, job-offshoring, environmental protection and more.
Further angering many rank-and-file Democrats and advocacy groups was
the House Ways and Means Committee's decision to skip a hearing on the
Peru FTA.
"It is outrageous that there has not been a hearing on this deal since
2006, especially given a midterm election in which the American public
went to the polls in droves and voted for candidates who explicitly ran
against incumbents' votes on past NAFTA-style deals and thereby
delivered the Democratic majority," said Wallach. "The politics of this
vote eerily echo the 1993 NAFTA vote when a Democratic-controlled
Congress passed another Bush's NAFTA deal and promptly lost its majority."
The focus on the need for a different trade policy by Democratic
candidates in the midterm election and the political success of this
approach, when 37 fair trade congressional candidates replaced
supporters of the failed NAFTA trade model, corrected the political
dislocation wrought in 1993 by President Bill Clinton's pushing of NAFTA
that then contributed to the historic Democratic losses in 1994.
Democratic support for NAFTA was identified as a key factor in the
erosion of Democratic support by working-class households in the 1994
midterm elections.
"We have to fix our trade policy. We have to have a policy that benefits
American workers and workers around the world. Voters this past November
sent us a clear message to say 'no' to the failed Bush free trade
policies," said Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), who, along with nearly all
the Democratic freshmen class made fair trade a centerpiece of his campaign.

>> In a Sept. 21 letter to Democratic Caucus Chairman Rahm Emanuel
>> (D-Ill.), several members said the next caucus meeting should be

>> These members have also criticized Ways and Means Chairman Charles

>> committee was chaired by Rep. Bill Thomas (R-Calif.), but critics say
>> the committee's membership and the agreement itself have since been
>> changed.
>> "It's extremely unfortunate there was no formal hearing on the FTA,"
>> said Rep. Mike Michaud (D-Maine) in a conference call to reporters
>> Monday. He was joined by freshman Reps. Phil Hare (D-Ill.) and Betty
>> Sutton (D-Ohio), who also signed the letter to Emanuel.
>> Ways and Means members and staff have engaged in extensive outreach

>> agreement and commitments Peru has made to enforce the deal's terms,

>> also recently spoke to the caucus and presented a detailed analysis
>> of the deal to individual offices, said the spokesman, who added
>> there would be more opportunities to discuss it before it moves to
>> the floor.
>> Ways and Means is set to hold only an informal markup of the
>> legislation on Tuesday. Because the deal was signed under the
>> fast-track law, it cannot be amended in committee or on the floor.
>> Accordingly, the informal markup is expected to signal the kind of
>> changes that lawmakers might want to make to incorporate into formal
>> legislation before it comes to an up-or-down vote.
>> The deal has already been changed to reflect a new template agreement
>> on trade between House Democratic leaders and the administration.
>> Those changes amended language in the deal on labor, environmental
>> and pharmaceutical rules.
>> Last week, the Senate Finance Committee approved the informal
>> legislation in an 18-3 vote.
>> Trade is a controversial topic within the Democratic caucus, and many
>> observers think less than half the caucus will support the Peru FTA.
>> Members from manufacturing districts in particular have been critical
>> of any steps Democratic leaders have taken to hold votes on trade
>> deals. Hare said there should be no rush to a vote on Peru.

Some great questions from a friend of mine striking off internationally / mobile.
Also, you had some tips for this lifestyle. What are they? My
biggest questions are:
1) Receiving phone calls. I imagine there are good (even free) Voice Over IP services that will allow me to
Take my old local calls and transfer them to the Internet;
Forward the calls to whatever local number I'm using in whatever country I happen to be;
Transfer voice mail and SMS messages to e-mail.
1. Google Voice is good for getting a USA number ported. I don't know about Europe... maybe you can port it to SkypeIn (a nice product), or maybe to Grasshopper if they're working in Europe. Get Google Voice though definitely, it's free and good and does what you want.
2) I assume you use Skype to make most international calls, but what about receiving mobile calls in whatever local country you happen to be? Do you just get a temporary sim card in the local country?
2. Yeah, temporary SIM card. If people know you're in and out of a region, they just regularly update your number. People just start using email more when you're in and out anyways. I prefer to not use a phone anyways when I can avoid it.
3) I imagine the ideal service would just blindly open my sensitive paper mail, scan it and put it into my Dropbox folder. What do you do?
3. Earth Class Mail is what you're looking for, and I had it for a while. Now I just don't do paper mail. I'm basically paperless, and maybe I miss a document or two per year, but who cares? You can always have really important stuff sent to a friend or family member, or the apartment or hotel you're at when traveling. Hotels will take mail for you even if you're not there, as long as you stayed for a while and treated people well.
4) Any experience with opening international bank accounts? Based on my experiences until now I imagine it's an incredible hassle to open up a bank account as a tourist with a temporary Visa. Any tips? What do you do?
4. Depends on the country. Some places are very liberal about letting anyone open bank accounts, some tightly control it. But I just use the American Schwab Investor Checking (excellent product) which has free rebates on ATM fees and no currency conversion costs, and then I use my Schwab card at the ATM and get local cash out. It works surprisingly easily and well, I don't have any non-American bank accounts.
If you have interesting suggestions, your answers might be interesting to your online audience too.
5. Good idea.
Your questions in the comments?
Okay - having done this a lot:
1) For phone I use my Vonage as I can plug it in wherever I am and it routes my 'home' calls to it. I also get a virtual number.
2) I get a SIM for my mobile in the country (normally pay as you go until I figure out the country rules)
3) International banking - I love HSBC. I have 5 banks I use and they are the only one which does a good job of handling multiple banks, transfers from other countries etc. My wife lost her USA CC in the UK, they were going to send it to our USA postal address (Earthclass mail) and instead overnighted it to us in the UK.
4) Your mobile should be a smart phone - I use ms secure to save my passwords etc... maps etc. Using the temporary SIM I can do the data exchange
5) Make sure you use a global email system - hotmail or gmail - I prefer hotmail as I can pay for it which means they do have some obligation to take care of me
6) I travel with a wireless router that I hookup for my vonage and also for all my other devices - in USA I just use a wireless access point
7) Have wallets for different countries (I have one with all my UK accounts, one for USA, one for Asia).
8) Have a filing system at your home base with a section for each country you have permanent assets in...
Cheers, I'll check out HSBC. I'll ask if they can give any of the Premier features to people without that much money (yeah, hoping to get to that level within the next few years!) - here in the UK banks give a few special offers to entice students to open accounts with them, knowing they don't often switch when they're older.
Let me put my 2 cents in International Banking thread. I would say HSBC rules. For sure they screw up once in a while but 85% percent of the time I am extremely happy with them. They have PREMIER service which is incredibly useful tool for travelling entrepreneur. It costs a lot to get started (1 million HKD or 500 000RMB in China). In Aus, CAD etc it can be 200 000 USD+. They call it relationship balance. However when it drops below that amount then you pay monthly fees. They differ on country.
The good thing is, once you are Premier, You can open premier in pretty much any country in the world and use their worldtransfer service (for eligible countries). It allows you to send money from account to account without fees and lightning fast. You also have better rate for currency conversion. How to get started. My suggestions. Option Number 1. Money. If you have minimum required amount for your country, just deposit and then you can have it back, however, check how much you would have to pay in monthly fees, then while you travel, open account in a country that have lower requirements and open an account there. Now you have 2 accounts. Make one that has lower fees your primary branch. Now you will pay lower monthly fee. Option 2. Sometimes HK has promotions for existing clients. You can upgrade to premier without money and don't pay for a year. However I have no idea where to get this information. I overheard 2 girls in Teller line. Ask me if you have any questions about HSBC.
We use EarthClassMail for both personal and business use and have found it to be excellent. They scan and email us all of the mail we receive. We can also forward/ship that mail to us anywhere in the world. They've recently added a service that will even accept and deposit checks into your bank account...really cool.
I forward my Google Voice to my Skype number. If my computer is open I answer it there...otherwise it forwards to my cell.
Seb might disagree with this, but as an American I find it worthwhile to register with the State Dept. You'll get email updates about any changes in status in the country you're in. Living in Mindanao it's good to know about security or violence issues that are going on down here and to avoid the hot spots.
I have a tip- I use twilio's openvbx.com to power my US and UK phone numbers, for pennies a minute I have it forward to my local number where ever I am in the world. So I share those numbers with friends and family, then just buy burner sim's in each country. But I also carry a TruPhone and Mobal SIM's to make sure I always have phone service if I need it.
For european numbers check ovh.com, for less than 2€ a month you get a SIP number with unlimited calls to a bunch of country
If someone can suggest a good solution for British/European people, I'd be all ears. Had so many problems trying to administer my UK bank accounts while based in Asia.
The Internal Scorecard
I think there's a tremendous amount of misconceptions regarding achievement, productivity, creativity, ambition, work, work rate, work ethic, and so on.
So I'm thinking of publishing some analysis weekly with examples of what happened in the week, successes and failures, noteworthy events, what I'm reading and listening to, and so on. If it goes well, I can give you a picture of a workweek for me, intermix tactics and techniques, and give you practical guidance about what's working well and what isn't.
The road to wealth is 99% psychology, and 1% math. A list of twenty 'hacks' like "Don't go to Starbucks" is not going to help, since you fight these impulses repeatedly, and human will is limited.
It is better to focus on the few, one-time changes that will have big results for the rest of your life. You will keep more of what you make and lose less of it to banks.
These are the changes I made in my life that had big effects on my wealth. Now I keep more of the money I make, banks pay me to use them, and I don't waste time worrying about petty fees and charges.
Task 1: No more monthly or ATM fees, or Foreign Customer Service Reps (Takes 20 minutes)
You are losing a huge amount of money by banking with Chase, Wells Fargo, or Bank of America. They are terrible when it comes to charging fees and customer service. Here are two better options:

"A Huge Disappointment "
- Comp & Benefits
- Work/Life Balance
- Senior Management
- Culture & Values
- Career Opportunities
I worked at Metro Systems (VA) full-time (less than an year)
Good work life balance, 40k salary right out of college, young atmosphere- you will probably fit in if you were in greek life or a sports team in college.
Metro Systems was founded on the same robotic model that many of the big players in the staffing industry play by (Apex, TekSystems, Insight Global, etc.). They hire solely recent grads with zero professional experience. This is mainly because they are naive, and are the only ones who will play by the owners rules, or as they say in the interview, "are mold-able." Everyone from the company interviews you, and seeing all the young and hopeful faces, it's hard not to feel some credibility and therefore encourage you to accept the position.
Everyone starts in a technical recruiter position, and is expected to move into sales. I personally never understood this model, as some of the best recruiters may not thrive in sales (and vice versa). The technology training is sparse, and after 2 weeks of pretty much sitting around, you hit the phones. Recruiting isn't brain surgery, and that's what these small shops are banking on. Most anyone can talk candidates through a job description, bring them in, and basically read over their resume once again to make sure they will represent the company well. I will say, recruiting in general is a great professional skill, and these interactions and internal interviews are a positive experience for the developing young professional.
If you show any type of slight interest, or are there too long, you will move into sales. Most of the recruiters in the pit seem to fear the position- as no one has stayed with the organization long enough to actually be successful. The sales training is non-existent as it is pretty much "uncharted territory" for the company. 22 and 23 year olds with basically no training, little IT exposure, and a short tenure in the industry, are expected to meet Sr. level execs and managers to sell the business. There is no set system of prospecting, and the majority of the people who would take the meetings prove to not be useful in gaining new business.
I just felt like the legitimacy factor was not there, as well as the morals that served as the backbone on the business.
Proceed with caution. I came in hoping for the best and believing in the vision of the company. However, I ended my employment there with the harsh realization that these promises were not truths.
If two executives are going to run an organization of entirely entry level employees, they both must be present at least 40 hours a week. Leaving young, recent grads to their own devices and without direction isn't beneficial to the company or the employees.
Also, be compassionate to the employees of the organization. Treating people as if they are expendable (even though entry level grads are) is disheartening for the morale and internal confidence in the vision of the organization. Learn from your mistakes, and try to somehow put an end of the current 100% yearly turnover rate.

This is a company that provides great potential for those that are eager and willing to learn. For those that put in the time and follow the company process the earnings come quick. As a recruiter you can double your income in one year and be promoted to Account Manager. Within two years as an Account Manager the sky's the limit in regards to the income you can generate. MSI likes to promote from within, so if it is a career with plenty of opportunity for advancement then this is the place for you.Cons
If you are looking for a standard 9-5 job and not interested in going the extra mile then this will not be a good fit.

SMS messages can make the federal job application process less frustrating by providing immediate updates and reminders, CBP says. (Stock image)
A six-month-old SMS text messaging program implemented to keep U.S. Customs and Border Protection in better touch with job applicants is transforming the hiring process, according to the agency's Office of Human Resources Management.
Beginning with its entry-level Border Patrol Agent job opportunity announcements on Feb. 20 and as part of the agency's online application process, the new system allows CBP job applicants to receive SMS text messages on their mobile device as they progress through the selection process. Of the first 1,000 applicants offered the choice, according to a June 27 statement on HRM's web page, 343 opted to receive the messages. Applicants can choose to receive or opt out of receiving text messages at any time during the selection process by contacting CBP's Minneapolis Hiring Center.
With the increasing popularity of mobile phones and tablets, CBP said, SMS capabilities provide the opportunity to connect with the growing number of people who actively use text messaging. CBP officials declined to detail the cost of implementing the new system, but said the agency was pleased with the investment. They stressed that SMS is more familiar to younger applicants than the phone or e-mail as their primary means of communicating, and is often given greater attention than voicemail or other electronic messages.
HRM said it has been using several pre-programmed SMS text message templates, reminding applicants of pending deadlines for required forms or documents, as well as the date and time of their upcoming medical and fitness examinations and interviews. SMS also provides the department with the capability to create and send more personalized messages when needed.
SMS text messaging, said the agency, helps promote timely responses to document deadlines, reduce the number of missed appointments, and increase applicant satisfaction with the hiring process by creating a higher sense of engagement and awareness of processing requirements. It also expects SMS use to boost applicant flow and retention in the process, allowing reductions to overall applicant processing time and costs. HRM said it is monitoring the impact of SMS and planning additional uses for text-based communication, such as providing notification of important changes in an applicant's status.

I checked out what you were saying as at first I didn't believe it -
KCOM Group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wow, how is that not a monopoly??
Well it is a Monopoly
Yes they are the only provider in the city of Hull. We have no other suppliers as KC have the monopoly, although I Say that the company I work for has put its own network in the ground, and we supply business customers - and we dont touch KC's network and have got our own feeds from another supplier.. We've taken some big customers on board so now Businesses in the area have a choice aslong as they are not far off our network.

Don't BS them, they will know. Have a plan that's feasible and you will get a result. Explain your plan, they will rubbish it, they're trained to do that. I cancelled, I was prepared to go through with my plan, but they called me back 4 days later with an acceptable offer.
Be aware that if you're after broadband-only, this is a much tougher deal as they want to bundle their phone line. Broadband is the only real commodity of value these days.

£60-odd for XL TV package with Sky Sports. I can't get broadband with them anymore since I moved. I don't know why not. Neither do they. The signal comes down the same cable but they don't provide BB to my postcode.
If they did, I'd happily pay £100 for BB, TV and phone. I was with them for about 14 years, from 512K (Wow! I can download this 90 meg game demo in the time it takes me to eat my dinner, slowly) cable modem days, never had any problems at all. Ever.
Now I'm with BT on one of their fibre packages. I log on to 'My BT' and it tells me I've bought a 56d/25u meg package, but speed tests consistently show I'm only getting 35meg down, on a good day, downhill, with a following wind.

It's all down to competition in your area, there will be a retention policy but the details will be specific for your street.
If like me you live in a Cable and Infinity wired street the odds are in your favour.
I got a 100mb broadband upgrade for just £17.50pm down from £26 for 30mb, I run my landlines over SIP on the VM cable for no additional line rental.
I just rang VM and told them I was off to BT infinity after 5 years they rolled over and did a deal with no argument.
VM/BT know where they have the upper hand and will alway leverage the advantage.

Yum!! I was just telling my husband, yesterday, that pies are my baking challenge. I can bake so many delicious things. But, pies have ALWAYS been a challenge. And I've always just said "pies just aren't my thing." But, yesterday I said "I am going to face this challenge and I will win it!" and now I see this beautiful pie…..:) Will definitely have to try this one (though I don't have a spring form pan….hmmm…maybe will have to get one).

Great recipe! Glad to know this can be done both manually and with a food processor. The picture is very enticing and you can serve a version of this for a Fort Lauderdale catering event if you wish. The ice cream would be a great addition to the pastry!

Marden Henge
|Marden Henge
|Marden, Wiltshire
grid reference SU091582
Marden Henge (also known as Hatfield Earthworks) is the largest Neolithic henge enclosure discovered to date in the United Kingdom.[1] The monument is located in Marden, Wiltshire, situated within the Vale of Pewsey between the World Heritage sites of Avebury and Stonehenge.[2] Roughly oval in shape, it is enclosed by a typical bank and internal ditch arrangement constructed on the east, north and north-west sides and by the River Avon to the south and west.[3][4]
Encompassing an area of 14 hectares (35 acres) and under the care of English Heritage, antiquarian accounts of the site describe a huge mound within the enclosure called Hatfield Barrow, which collapsed after excavation by William Cunnington in the early 19th century. Today, Marden Henge has been damaged by ploughing, and no longer has any standing stones.
The site was excavated by Geoff Wainwight in 1969. He excavated the North entrance, and found a timber circle, and Grooved Ware pottery, similar to Durrington Walls. The finds are at Wiltshire Heritage Museum in Devizes, where there is also a small display.
In 2010, the henge and surrounding area were investigated through aerial, geophysical, and field survey.[5] During the dig, a Neolithic building was discovered, described as the best preserved Neolithic building in England. [6]

Proud Pettine eager to turn Bills defense around
Updated: January 25, 2013, 3:47 PM ETAssociated Press
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- New Bills defensive coordinator Mike Pettine is still evaluating the high-priced, underachieving group he has inherited, but he saw enough from the opposing sideline last season to know "the cupboard is not bare" in Buffalo.
Having spent the past four seasons with the Jets, Pettine says Friday in his introductory press conference that the talent level in Buffalo was one factor in his decision to switch teams two weeks ago.
"There are some good football players ...

Is there any product on the market that can retrofit a gravity-fed toilet into one using Pressure-Assist technology without replacing the entire toilet?
Why would anyone want to?

I have a shop fll of pressure assisted pulled from jobs where folks like a quiet working toilet then one that sounds like a fog horn
No clogs. I replaced the current flush valve several times & it'll flush fine one time then it won't complete the flush on the next time. Then you have to wait for it to fill up (& it's usually at a higher bowl level) then flush again. We're on a well with a good (Kinetico) water filtration system. The other toliets I've replaced vales with good results.
Flushometer, ever go into a mens room and see a urinal? Ever go into an air port and see a nice chrome valve with a handle sticing out of the aide or a black cap that flushes itself when you stand?
That is a flushometer
