Hi All
Does anyone know of any upcoming theatre productions of any of Terry Pratchetts plays in the UK? My husband is a huge fan and would love to see a live production of an adaptation of a Terry Pratchett, but I can't see any anywhere. It's his birthday soon and I'd love to buy it for him as a surprise. If not, any other birthday suggestions would be great. I know there's a new book out, and I'll buy that for him, but it would be really nice to be able to totally surprise him.
Any advice or help would be great. Thanks.

The Pipe Masters Fires Up In Treacherous 3rd Reef Conditions
Wednesday was one of the first real Pipeline days here on the North Shore (see the video above) and today dawned even bigger and more dangerous. Waves breaking on the 3rd reef were sweeping through the lineup leaving a trail of boards and bodies in their wake. Gnarly shit.
We've been watching day 1 of the Pipe Masters and so far my MVP of the day has got to be Marcus Hickman. The burly Hawaiian was in the first heat of the day and was bale to manhandle Pipe while others just got handled. Impressive stuff from Marcus.
While the majority of the North Shore was focused on Pipe yesterday, the annual Vans golf tournament went down up at Turtle Bay. It's always a fun time but there was no way I was going to be dragged away from the beach, check the photos in the gallery above though. The usual golf fiends like Kelly Slater, Benji Weatherely, and Sean Moody played well while others like the Gudauskas chased more balls than they hit.
Anyway, gotta get back to the beach, we'll have the full Pipe Masters day 1 report soon…

Massachusetts' art and craft galleries are as eclectic as the art itself. Boston's SOWA district (South of Washington Street) is packed with galleries, artist studios, restaurants, and cafes. Catch the buzz at SOWA's First Fridays when dozens of galleries swing open their doors. The Massachusetts College of Art & Design is the nation's first independent public art school. MassArt's seven gallery spaces showcase work by internationally acclaimed artists and designers as well as emerging artists. The galleries also routinely feature work by MassArt students, faculty, staff, and alumni. MCLA Gallery 51, run by the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts in North Adams, presents work from a wide range of emerging and mid-career contemporary artists. Just down the street, of course, is the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art. Located on the campus of Phillips Academy, the Addison Gallery of American Art presents approximately twelve shows a year, both from its extensive collection of American art, and major traveling exhibitions.

I have been wanting to get a 7.62 x 39 upper for a while, I ordered the bbl & bolt from model 1 sales and the rest of the stuff from rock river. all the parts showed up today and I put it together. the only fly in the ointment is that the bbl threads are 1/2" x 36 tpi, so the flash hider won't fit. I was going to rethread the muzzle but decided to do it right and get another flash hider.
I can't wait till tomorrow to do a mag dump into the bullet trap to see what kind of flames come out the front!!
the next step will be to take the 16" 5.45 x 39 upper I have and whack the bbl and have a set of uppers for my shorty. I want to build a box to hold the spare uppers, mags, optics and other goodies that go with the gun.

Learn about the Western Blot technique.
Western Blot - Western Blotting
Western blot analysis can detect your protein of interest from a mixture of a great number of proteins. Western blotting can give you information about the size of your protein (with comparison to a size marker or ladder in kDa), and also give you information on protein expression (with comparison to a control such as untreated sample or another cell type or tissue). Western blot analysis can analyze any protein sample whether from cells or tissues, but also can analyze recombinant proteins synthesized in vitro. Western blot is dependent on the quality of antibody you use to probe for your protein of interest, and how specific it is for this protein. Antibodies are now easily obtainable from commercial sources, and you can purchase one for your protein of interest. If your protein is a novel protein, you must produce an antibody yourself or get a company to do it for you. In this case you will need at least a small amount of your protein either purified from cell extracts or made as a recombinant (ie in vitro or in a recombinant protein expression system). Antibodies specific to your protein are vital to western blotting as they are able to bind specifically to your protein of interest instead of the thousands of proteins on your western blot!
How Does Western Blotting Work?
See Diagram 1 below. First things first. Obtain a protein sample you want to analyze, such as cell samples. Lyse the cells to release protein contents. Run these on a gel which separates proteins on the basis of size. Then transfer these gel proteins onto a membrane using electricity. This membrane can then be used to probe for proteins of interest using a primary antibody. Western blot relies on the primary antibody to detect this protein from the thousands of proteins on your membrane and previously on your gel! (a cell can contain 30,000 different proteins - and these same proteins can even be altered giving you over 300,000 different proteins!). Using an antibody recognizes your primary antibody (a secondary antibody) you build up a protein-antibody-antibody sandwich! The secondary antibody has a horse radish peroxidase enzyme which converts a luminol substrate to a light releasing substance! This light is detected as a spot on film. From this spot you can determine how much protein is there relative to other spots, or the size of the protein relative to a size marker that is run also on the gel. Diagram 2 shows a western blot example gel. Lane 1 is a protein size marker ladder which shows different known sizes of proteins, this can be purchased commercially and the sizes of all the spots are given in a pamphlet. Lane 3 is a cancer sample and lane 5 is a normal sample. As you can see the protein in lane 3 has a higher expression than the cancer sample in lane 5, which is interesting. Also, the protein spots in lanes 3 and 5 are the same size as the 2nd spot in the size ladder from lane 1. We can then look at the known protein size from our brochure which we received with the ladder. We then determine that the size of the protein is 80 kDa. Our protein of interest is also 80 kDa. So we know that the western blot worked and that the protein is highly expressed in a cancer sample!

To Prepare Samples for Western Blot:
Whether you have Non-adherent Cells (such as T-cell lines or peripheral blood cells) or Adherent cells (such as Fibroblast cells or COS cells), you need to remove extraneous proteins from the media. For non-adherent cells you can gently pellet them with centrifugation and then wash the pellet with PBS. For adherent cells, simple wash the flask or dish with PBS prior to western blot.
Western blot analysis examines proteins, and so we want the proteins to be release from the cells and also prevent the proteins from being cut up by proteases. We need these to western blot:
- to keep things cold! 4C on ice during cell lysis for western blotting
- use Detergent to break up membranes of cells to release proteins
- Buffer
- Inhibitors (both protease inhibitors and phosphatase inhibitors if we will do western blot for phospho-proteins)
Detergent - Lysing Cells For Western Blot
SDS and RIPA are detergents that are used to solubilize proteins for later analysis using western blotting. This is required as many proteins are either inside the cell or located inside cell membranes, so we need to release these proteins to be able to immunoblot for them.
Which Antibody should I use for Western Blotting?
You should select an Antibody to use for Western Blot. Usually either mouse monoclonal antibodies or rabbit polyclonal antibodies are used.
You can use either an antibody without any added groups, or use an antibody which is conjugated to biotin. These antibodies do not require
Polyclonal vs Monoclonal Antibodies for Western Blot
Monoclonal Antibodies are usually better for Western Blotting due to:
- better signal to noise ratio ( lower background in western blot )
- their higher specificity ( you get less contaminating proteins or Ig )
- overall cleaner results on the western blotting film (less non-specific bands detected)
Polyclonal Antibodies are better suited for Immunoprecipitation:
- they recognize more epitopes
- have higher avidity
Lysing Cells for Western Blot:
TIPS before you lyse for western blotting:
If you are going to western blot for protein mass (ie a protein that is not phosphorylated):
- you can lyse in larger volumes (keeping the rest to blot for other proteins)
If you are going to western blot a phospho-protein (or phosphorylated protein) it is important to do the following:
- make sure you use phosphatase inhibitors ( such as vanadate because phosphatases will remove the phosphates from your proteins! )
- also lyse cells in the smallest volume possible ( ie lyse in 100 ul loading buffer, this is done because you can load most of the cells you lysed. This is important as signal is quite weak when western blotting for phospho-proteins.)
If you are looking at protein-protein interactions:
- do not use SDS as it dissociates protein-protein interactions and thus proteins are denatured (especially after boiling)
- for western blotting protein-protein interactions, ie native interactions you must use a less-stringent detergent such RIPA.
- can be done directly on the plate or dish
- pellet the cells
- Keep on Ice and cold - use an ice bucket
- Rule of thumb for how much lysis buffer to use is: 10^5 cells / uL of lysis buffer
- collect in eppendorf tubes and label ( keep these on ice )
Measure total protein before Western Blot Analysis:
- this allows more quantitative analysis if you want to compare treatment conditions in western blot analysis
- commercial kits are available such as a Bradford assay for measuring total protein (from Bio-Rad)
- 0.1% of SDS or greater can interfere with protein measurement
Denature Protein Samples :
- add protein loading sample buffer to an aliquot of cell lysate - contains dye (too see the migration on a gel, 2% SDS)
- add disulfide reducing agent such as beta - mercaptoethanol
- Boil in water bath or heating block (lower temperatures such as mid - 90 degrees decrease protein aggregation ).
- Poke a hole in cap of each tube to prevent popping
SDS-PAGE Gel Information for Western Blotting
SDS-PAGE Gels are gel matrices which are used to separate proteins by size in the presence of electric current. Low percentage gels separate larger proteins whereas higher percentage gels separate smaller proteins better. The problem is that all proteins have a charged associated with them, and in an electrical current this could cause problems. This is solved by the addition of SDS to the protein samples. SDS binds to proteins every few amino acids and neutralizes the charge differences that proteins have. This allows proteins to be separated by size and not by charge.
SDS-PAGE Gel Preparation for Western Blot
- depending on how much protein you will want to load for western blotting, you should use small combs or larger combs.
- the percentage of acrylamide is important. Usually 10% acrylamide is used.
- A resolving gel is used at the bottom with a pH of 8.8
- A stacking gel (4-5%) pH 6.8 is used to pack proteins in together after loading
- Polymerization of gels is increased by the catalysts APS and TEMED which speed up the polymerization reaction (formation and solidification) of the poly-acrylamide gel.
- Load every Sample carefully and slowly to prevent sample leaking out of the lane.
- Load every lane and use sample buffer in each (to prevent differences in ).
Gel Electrophoresis
- Centrifuge samples for 10 sec after boiling.
- Load sample into each lane
- Load MW reference
- Run gel at 100V (constant voltage) or even better at 40 mA (constant current). Watch protein marker/ladder or dye front for when to stop gel. Constant current gives better and sharper results if you have the time.
- watch for bubbles between glass and under the gel - this means that it is working
- watch for protein migration (should be going down) - if not you have switched the leads and can lose all your samples!
- Initially run slowly through the stacking gel (~ 50 Volts), this gives sharper bands.
- Do not run overnight
- Do not over-heat the gel (this causes the gel to lose rigidity, leading to poor resoloving and blurry badly formed bands)
Tranfer of Proteins to Membrane for Western Blotting
Select Membrane Type:
Can use either:
- PVDF membrane for western blots
- Nitrocellulose membrane for western blots
- Nylon membrane (rarely used now - can tear)
Tips for Transfering to Western Membrane:
-Wear Gloves at all times! Use forceps
- Minimize touching/forceps to the membrane
Bio-RAD transfer order:
sponge on black
filter paper
gel nitrocellulose
filter paper
Transfer :
- Keep cool in 4C
- Transfer overnight at 35 V
- Can transfer quickly in 1 hour at higher V
Western Blot
Blocking of Membranes allows you to maximize signal:noise ratio
- wear gloves
- block with 5% Blotto (non-fat dry milk - powder) or 1 - 5% BSA (Bovine Serum Albumin) for phosphorylated proteins
Incubation with Primary Antibody
- mouse, rabbit or other species
- usually 1 : 1000 dilution
Incubation of Secondary Antibody
- usually diluted 1 : 10, 000
- anti-mouse, anti-rabbit, or other antibody conjugated with HRP enzyme for detection
Assaying for Results
- usually ECL (Enhanced Chemiluminescence) is used
- film is exposed and developed
- film is usually XOMAT or similar 'fast' film
Terms used in western blotting:
WB - western blot
IB - immunoblot (another term for western blotting)
SDS - Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (a detergent used in many western blotting solutions)
PAGE - Polyacrilamide Gel Electrophoresis
Ab - Antibody (antibodies are used to detect your protein of interest)
HRP - Horse Radish Peroxidase
Luminol - substrate that HRP cleaves to cause light formation
ECL - Enhanced Chemiluminescence ( western blot solution which enhances light formation from HRP + Luminol)
kD/kDa - kilodalton (most proteins average between 30 - 80 kDa)
RAM - rabbit anti-mouse Ig
Ig - Immunoglobulin(an antibody isotype)
NP-40 - Nonidet P-40
PMSF - phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride
BSA - Bovine Serum Albumin
NFDM - Non-fat dry Milk

New For 2014The 2014 Kia Forte sedan, the Forte5 hatchback, and the sporty Forte Koup are all-new.
Vehicle SummaryBad timing killed the last Kia Forte. Four years ago, the Forte was a good, little car that debuted just ahead of a foray of better, little cars. Cars like the Ford Focus and the Chevrolet Cruze, which absolutely crushed Kia's dreams of being king of the compact-car hill. Fast-forward four years to today. While we were expecting a significantly refreshed Forte for 2014, we got a brand-new 2014 Kia Forte instead. The compact-car class is getting a lot of attention from automakers, what with people's blossoming interest in green-friendly econoboxes, and Kia's got a real player with the Forte.
OverviewThe compact 2014 Kia Forte is all-new. It comes in three styles: Forte, Forte5, and Forte Koup. The first is a four-door sedan, the second is a four-door hatchback, and the last is a two-door coupe. All are instantly recognizable as Fortes because of their tiger-nose grilles and curvaceous sheetmetal. It's extremely rare that an automaker offers one car in three distinct flavors. The Ford Focus is available as a sedan and a hatchback but not as a coupe. The Honda Civic is available as a sedan and a coupe but not as a hatchback. The whole Forte trio benefits from Hyundai's 100,000-mile, ten-year warranty, another thing that sets it apart from the competition.
The four-door 2014 Kia Forte sedan is longer, lower, and wider than the outgoing car. Despite the increase in size, passenger volume has actually decreased, although first-row passengers enjoy more head, leg, and shoulder room. If interior space is a major concern, the Forte5 might be more your style. Passenger volume increases slightly from 96.2 cubic feet to 98.2 cubic feet, and cargo space balloons from 14.9 cubic feet to 23.2 cubic feet. The Forte5 also benefits from bigger engines. EX models get a normally aspirated 2.0-liter in-line four-cylinder, and SX models get a 1.6-liter turbocharged in-line four spitting out 201 hp. They're the same engines that are available in the two-door Forte Koup. The Koup debuted at the 2013 New York Auto Show and is set to go on sale by the end of the year. It aims to be the most fun Forte, with sport-tuned suspension and larger front brakes, as well as an excessive amount of carbon-fiber interior frill.
It seems, then, that Kia is building a Forte for just about everyone.

Controversy recently sparked over the Obama administration mandate that requires employers to cover the cost of birth control for their female employees. Catholic institutions across the nation immediately resisted the mandate, calling for changes that would relieve the religious establishments from responsibility for the distribution of birth control, which they argue violates their religious and moral ethics.
President Barack Obama recently came to a compromise that excludes Catholic institutions from paying for the birth control, but instead allows employees to acquire the contraceptives through the company medical insurance.
Though it is customary for employers to offer medical coverage after a pre-determined amount of time of service, dental cleanings are much less case-sensitive than birth control prescriptions. Requiring employers to cover the costs of birth control pushes the limits of personal and professional relationships. Some employees may want their employers to know about decisions they make regarding their personal lives.
However, this mandate could benefit employers. By supplying birth control coverage, companies may experience less instances of maternal leave or complete loss of an employee due to unplanned pregnancies. It can also create a sense of job security for women who take advantage of the program, ensuring that they can dedicate their time to the employer as appropriate.
While the mandate receives mixed reviews, women everywhere seem to be breathing a little easier. For many women, contraception can be difficult to obtain and afford on a consistent basis. The near shutdown of Planned Parenthood, one of the largest distributors of birth control, left many women without personal protection against unplanned pregnancies. Though some may consider the mandate extreme or unnecessary, it could be a step in the right direction for women's rights and equality.
As a women's college, Wilson College should be particularly interested in what seems to be a victory for women's rights of reproductive choice. Though some argue that the mandate is an attempt to sway the female vote for the 2012 elections, the focus should be that more women will be able to afford birth control than ever before. Women--particularly teenagers and young adults--can experience difficulty consistently acquiring and affording contraceptives.
Though this is a big step for women nationwide, not all women are affected by the mandate. Employers do not always offer medical benefits, leaving women working part-time and those who are unemployed without the opportunity to receive birth control free of cost. The mandate does not address changes for the contraceptive costs for unemployed, impoverished or underage women. Perhaps the women that would most benefit from free birth control services are the ones being denied. This begs the question, what can be done to help these women?
Shippensburg University installed a machine for students to purchase the "morning after pill" Plan B, from the Etter Health Center. Daniel Tosh, comedian and host of Comedy Central's Tosh.0, recently satirized the vending machine on his blog. Many of the blog readers commented that the machine gave the message that safety precautions before sex were not necessary. I agree that it may be giving students the wrong impression, but I do commend Shippensburg University for at least being aware of the consequences of unsafe sex and keeping an open dialogue with students about their options.
All differences aside, birth control services should be provided for inexpensive or no cost to all women who wish to use it. As autonomous beings, we as women have the right to decide when or if we wish to use contraceptives.

I suspect Infiniti has two target groups for the Q50. Either people who want an upmarket saloon but just wouldn't dream of hitching themselves to the BMW bandwagon. Or those who've had five 3-series company cars in a row and just, y'know, fancy a change. After all no manufacturer has much hope of going toe-to-toe with the 3-series because it defines the breed. But a good and diverting alternative stands a chance of gathering a keen minority following.
First drive: the new Infiniti Q50
Seb Vettel helped in the development of this, Infiniti's answer to the BMW 3-Series...
Infiniti has been here before with its G series. But the G only came with a thirsty V6 petrol or an expensive V6 diesel. Company-car buyers (which is nearly all buyers) demand a low-CO2 four-cylinder diesel or nothing.
Well the Q50 benefits from Infiniti's snuggle-down with Mercedes, and gets a version of the Benz 2.1-litre diesel, the one that's available in several power outputs across practically every car range Mercedes makes. Infiniti pegs it at a healthy 170bhp, but - out of insecurity? - calls it a 2.2-litre. It's 2143cc if you must know.
OK, diesel at the ready, Infiniti can now join the league. Can it win any games? Well because it's supposed to be alternative, it's got a pretty distinctive body shell, all wavy curves and sand-dune crested bone lines.
Indoors, it majors on tech, with two big custom dash screens. This has the advantage that you can keep the map always visible on the top one (if you've stumped £2k for navi anyway) while keeping the bottom one busy with the entertainment and an astounding range of connected apps.
The lower screen has excellent, clean sharp graphics, a good swipe-n-touch interface and low latency. The top one has a completely different look, different graphics style and colours and typefaces. One screen is flat, the other recessed. This mismatch is a face-slapping fail in an otherwise cohesively designed and nicely made cabin.
Another startling piece of differentiation is the steering. There's an option for the world's first entirely by-wire system, which goes by the name Direct Active Steering, or DAS for sort (there is a column, but it's always clutched out unless one of the three steering processors disagrees with the other two, in which case the system failsafes and introduces the column).
The steering setup measures your wheel movement, and decides how much wheel lock to apply depending on speed. Actually, it has three different speed maps from which you can choose. And various weights too.
Advantages? Because the ratio varies with speed, at low speed in town and around hairpins and mini roundabouts, you don't need to flail your arms. But at high speed it isn't twitchy. Also, there's no tramlining or kickback over one-sided bumps (which the 3-series suffers from) because there's no mechanical link. Because there's no need to isolate kickback, there was no need to mount the rack on rubber bushes, so actually the steering is more precise in its initial take-up.
But of course, it can't deliver 'true' road feel. Various sensors can work out when the grip limit is approaching, and at that point it reduced the weight you feel through the steering wheel. It works, up to a point. In fact it's better than most normal column-driven EPAS systems (and Porsche has a similar feedback logic in its EPAS).
But to be honest it's not needed in the diesel. The standard steering feels fine - maybe better actually - and since the car is prone to slightly soggy understeer, you're not really going to be driving it like that.
There's a much more fleet-footed 'sport' chassis fitted to the V6 petrol-hybrid version of the Q50, and that gets the DAS as standard. That car certainly corners more entertainingly, but of course it's hard to tell if the extra precision and feedback are coming from the sport chassis or the DAS.
Another reason you won't be caning the Q50 2.2d is the engine itself. It's pretty harsh-sounding (as it is in the Benz C-class), and its output tails off after about 3500rpm.
There's more. The seven-speed autobox is smooth when you mooch around in auto mode, but it's screamingly awkward when you want to get involved and over-ride it. There are no paddles, the gearlever plus/minus gate is back to front, and it always introduces a half-second delay between your command and its action. I didn't drive the manual but it would be going some to be worse than this. And the manual has a pretty decent 114g/km CO2 rating.
Oh, and the brakes are over-servoed and grabby in their initial bite, with a woeful lack of pedal feel. I'm really struggling to see how Infiniti's "Director of Performance" Sebastian Vettel has had much effect on the 2.2d. Again, the V6 has a better system, so maybe he's a busy guy and that's the only one he had time for.
But let's not get this out of proportion. The BMW 320d is everywhere but when did you last see one opposite-locking its way out of a roundabout? That's not how most people use cars like this. The Infiniti looks distinctive, it's reasonably competitive on tax and economy, it's well-equipped, it rides very well and most of all it's something different. Mission very probably accomplished.

As automotive magazine editors, we meet a lot of people and get asked a quite a few questions. Well, actually two: "How do I get my car in your magazine?" And, "what do you consider to be the coolest Camaro that's ever been in the magazine?"
To be honest, we wouldn't know how to go about trying to figure out which Camaro would be considered the all-time best. But it did give us the idea of compiling a list of the top ten Camaros of the year featured in Camaro Performers magazine in 2008. Still, that was not an easy task—quite rough actually. After all, we already have very high standards requiring feature cars to possess something special or unique in order to make it in the pages of Camaro Performers. Add to that, the editorial staff's diverse taste in Camaros, and what each of us would deem as cool, and instantly the chore becomes even further complicated. It wasn't as though fists were flying, but let's just say there was quite a bit of name calling and finger pointing before we got our lists to obtain a sense of similarity.
Well, after a few days of debating and hours of "adult-like" discussion, we finally put together an elite group of what we believe to be Camaro Performers magazine's Top Ten Camaros of 2008.
Keep in mind there was no real sophisticated method to our madness, we just picked cars each of us thought to be cool for various reasons: be it horsepower, fit and finish, body style, drivability, or just plain coolness; these ten cars represent (in no particular order), what the Camaro Performers editorial staff (Nick Licata and Steven Rupp) consider to be the best of 2008.
Jack Hodson
March 2008
If ever there's been an appropriate time to use the term "no brainer," this would be it. Choosing Jack Hodson's '67 as one of our top ten Camaros was a choice the editorial staff wholeheartedly agreed upon. No cussing each other on this one.
There's plenty of cool and unique pieces on this car that set it apart from your average run-of-the-mill first-gen. Although we'd like to talk about them all, we wouldn't be able to do it justice in this short amount of editorial space. We can mention the stroked and punched TPI-fed 383 that happily accepts 7-pounds of boost via a ProCharger 600B supercharger. We can also bring up the fact that Jack, with some guidance from Dean Livermore and the guys at Hot Rods by Dean in Phoenix, Arizona, did most of the work himself. The first-time hot rod builder replaced the floors and rear valance. He smoothed the firewall, patched the quarter panels, stitched in DSE subframe connectors, and beefed up the stock subframe.
"Alright Jack, now that you've got the hang of building a car, let's see what you can do as a seasoned veteran."

Over 2,000 falls in two Cumbrian hospitals
Last updated at 20:50, Thursday, 17 May 2012
More than 2,000 people have suffered falls at north Cumbria's two main hospitals in two years.
The figures were revealed in a response from health minister Simon Burns to Workington MP Tony Cunningham.
Mr Cunningham had demanded more information after it was revealed that four people had died at the hospitals after suffering falls.
In total 1,058 falls were reported to the National Patient Safety Agency in 2010, followed by 1,067 in 2011.
The deaths, which happened at the West Cumberland Hospital in Whitehaven and Carlisle's Cumberland Infirmary during September and October last year, were revealed in documents leaked to BBC Radio Cumbria.
A Freedom of Information request by the radio station revealed that, in September and October 2011, 29 people were injured in falls compared with nine in the same period of 2010.
Injuries ranged from fractures to bumps, grazes, cuts and bruises.
But the figures sent to Mr Cunningham reveal that far more people suffered falls overall.
In September 2010 there were 71 falls, with 80 the next month.
Eighty-four falls were reported in September 2011, with 84 in October 2011.
Mr Cunningham said he was concerned about the figures and would like to see more done to reduce the numbers.
A hospitals trust spokeswoman said the increase did not necessarily mean the number of actual falls was rising, as the National Patient Safety Agency encouraged trusts to report all incidents.
She said: "The NPSA is regularly seeing an increase in incidents reported year on year, which is actually a sign of a culture that is growing in awareness of patient safety."
Improvements had been made to falls assessments and follow-ups. Information boards about falls risks had been put up to raise awareness among patients, staff and relatives, and refresher training had been given to staff.
Each fall resulting in a fracture is investigated and formally reviewed to ensure lessons are shared, and the trust is also focusing on its work with dementia patients to reduce their fall risks.
Mr Cunningham said: "I welcome the work being done but much more needs to be done to make sure the number of falls is reduced to as low as possible."
He said he would write again to trust bosses to make sure that was done.

Have your say
How sad this story is. An elderly relative of mine in WCH recovering from minor surgery and due to be discharged, fell on her way to the bathroom. She actually fell due to a heap of zimmers being left by the foot of her bed and worse than this, she lay for many moments before being found and helped into her bed. I questioned a nurse who said she was just fine. Upon her release, she was seen by her doctor who diagnosed muscle injury to her shoulder and hip. It took her 6 weeks to recover. Assuming this to be a rare event, I never took it any further but now I wish I had. The ward in particular was under staffed and frankly the nurses had more time to stand in the corridor arguing, than tending the elderly patients. Granted, at visiting times they probably do have free time, but it sets such a bad impression. There are some wonderful and dedicated nurses - but they weren't there when my relative needed them.

The 2009, 2010, 2011 en 2012 iMacs all have desktop CPUs in them, so in that regard they're different. In the 27-inch iMac the only part laptop is de GPU from what I understand, and the optical drive in the previous models of course.
I was looking at a breakdown of the two new iMacs and came to the conclusion that they really are nothing more then a MBP built into the iMac body. Now I could be wrong, however, having opened my iMac 29 (mid 2009) to add a SSD it occurred to me that it was nothing more then a MBP. Just my thoughts.

Out of curiosity what is the value of your Mac Pro to resell, in the event that you go for the iMac? Should at least net you 30% of the cost towards the iMac?
Posted 30 November 2012 - 16:14
I'm confused though, did you expect to encounter a desktop-grade GPU inside the iMac's thin casing?

Posted 30 November 2012 - 16:24
If that was a reasonable option, even in the previous models, I'm sure they would have done so. In this regard nothing has changed between the 2009 and 2012 design. The only trade-off I find completely unacceptable in the current 21,5-inch iMac is the fact it comes with a laptop HDD and a 5400rpm model at that. From what I understand the 27-inch iMac doesn't suffer that issue luckily.
why not? they don't take up that much room if they are integrated chips, NVidia had integrated chips that where desktop card quality that took up not much room at all

In recent years, the month of April has grown increasingly busy in Fallbrook, from the swelling crowds at the avocado festival — long known as the largest annual event in town — to a film festival that began in 2008, and a variety of smaller community events.
But it wasn't until two local residents, Jon Frandell and Ronald Shattuck, recommended coordinating the schedule that a concept called "April in Fallbrook" was born.
"The idea was that there were a number of things going on independently in April, and it was a play on the term 'April in Paris,' which was a movie in the '50s," explained Shattuck, CEO and founder of the Fallbrook Film Factory, which hosts the annual motion picture festival.
Frandell is a member of the Rotary Club of Bonsall and the Fallbrook Chamber of Commerce board of directors, and Shattuck said they shared a concern that the calendar might start to look cluttered.
They held meetings with the leaders of the Fallbrook Art Center, the Fallbrook Garden Club and "other groups that had events independently," Shattuck said. "The idea was, why don't we package them? It would be good for Fallbrook."
A filmmaking veteran, Shattuck volunteered to put together a promotional video, featuring clips of each event, that is expected to screen some 8,000 times in the UltraStar Cinemas locations throughout San Diego County. (The UltraStar in Bonsall, now known as Digiplex Destinations Cinema, has hosted the film festival since 2010.)
Meanwhile, the Chamber of Commerce threw its weight behind the idea, and last month added an "April in Fallbrook" page to its website, listing the various activities that may entice outsiders to visit.
"It's a great time of year to come," chamber CEO Richard Kennedy told me this week. "And it helps the economy if we can get more people here."
First up would be the film festival, scheduled for April 5-7 at the Digiplex in Bonsall.
"We have always had international films, but at the end of our 2011 festival, we decided to go ahead and add the word 'international,'" Shattuck explained.
He said nearly 200 pictures were submitted this year, including 75 from out of the country — a list of 17 nations such as Russia, England, Poland, Afghanistan, Israel and Iran.
In 2013, festival organizers will again be handing out the Frank Capra Award, a nod to the most famous filmmaker ever to hang his hat in Fallbrook.
Five years ago, I helped judge for the inaugural film festival, and while the event skipped a year in 2012, I am glad to see it back, with a fresh batch of independent films.
The following weekend, the Fallbrook Garden Club hosts its largest annual event, the local garden tour and plant sale. The gates open at 8 a.m. on Saturday, April 13, at the Fallbrook Historical Society, 260 Rocky Crest Road, and tickets are available for $20.
On April 20, "Paws in the Park" descends from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at Live Oak Park, with contests for cutest, smallest and largest dogs, plus fastest tail wag, owner-pet look-alikes and best trick. Proceeds from the event benefit the Foundation for Senior Care.

Comments about Quik Shade Weekender Elite WE144 12 x 12 Instant Canopy:
We use it when camping, at the beach, and for our kids school and club sports. It sets up so easily and people are always amazed at how big it is when open. The silver lining inside the cover provides excellent protection from the sun. The only bummer is the weakness of the legs. This is our second purchase of this model as one of the legs on the first one bent and no longer allows set up. The manufacturer should sell the legs as replacement, but they don't.

Comments about Quik Shade Weekender Elite WE144 12 x 12 Instant Canopy:
Ordered this product after owning the same brand in a smaller size and loving it. The size of this one was awesome! It covers a pic nic table with room to sit under it in chairs also. The issue with our first one was one of the leg holes was off and the snap would not snap in, so we had to rig it up to work, then we noticed a tear in the fabric that had been previously sewn up!!! We returned it and were quickly sent a new one, however the leg on the new one was also broken so I am sending it back also for a return. The size was nice but I think we will just go back to the original 10x10 instead. Good luck if u order this one.

You can't make my mom's chocolate pie.
Go ahead...try. The recipe is below. But you can't do it.
One of my earliest memories in the kitchen is stirring the chocolate pudding in a double boiler. It was hot and I had to be very careful. I was probably around 8 when I first had this honor. I remember standing in a chair to reach the pans. The pudding requires constant stirring for thickness and to get out any lumps that may develop.
I would stir the chocolate pudding while mom whipped the egg white for a light, fluffy meringue. I hated meringue, but was completely outvoted. I could take the meringue off my piece, the family decided.
As a teenager, I wasn't so impressed with this chore. I understand why my mom passed it off. But the "suffering" was worth it.
This recipe makes two chocolate pies. I think my dad instituted the rule that if one chocolate pie leaves the house for an event, another chocolate pie must remain in the household for us to "taste test" to make sure it is okay for public consumption.
Over the years, all of our friends have loved my mom's chocolate pie and have the audacity to ask if mom would be making chocolate pie for dessert when they would come over.
She never used a cookbook, it was always "a little this, a little that," so I was shocked when she said the recipe could be found in the Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook.
There are a few recipes I have never bothered to learn because, well, why should I when mom can do that so much better? Beyond the chocolate pie, she makes excellent biscuits and chicken dressing. And while I have written down the ingredients and watched her make all of these recipes for years, there is something missing. I can do the exact same thing and the results are completely different.
I have decided that many women have certain recipes they can make in their sleep. And since they have been making these dishes most of their lives, your first attempt, or twentieth attempt, will not necessarily go well. It will not taste the same, or in some cases look the same.
My mom's chocolate pie is lightly sweet and the chocolate is not overbearing. The meringue is thick and fluffy with little peaks and it browns just right in the oven.
Let's just say, all of my attempts have not been successful. I keep trying, but the first time I took my sad attempt to my parent's house, the group revolted. My mom will just have that job from now on. Everyone decided there is no reason my mom could not make chocolate pie for every family gathering and not bother me with that chore. I will never do that again.
Try it if you like, but I am thinking this dish requires about 30 to 40 years of perfecting the recipe to get this right.
My Mom's Chocolate Pie Recipe
Or Chocolate Cream Pie from the Better Homes and Garden Cookbook
1 baked pastry shell (mom typically makes hers from scratch, but has discovered the wonder of Pillsbury prepared pie crusts that can be rolled out — makes pie production go faster, for sure)
4 eggs
3/4 cup sugar (mom doesn't use this much)
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 1/2 cups milk (can use half-and-half or light cream)
1 tablespoon of butter
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
3 tablespoons of cocoa
* Prepare baked pastry shell. Separate egg yolks from whites; set whites aside for meringue. For filling, in a medium saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch. Gradually stir in milk. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until thickened and bubbly; reduce heat. Cook and stir for two minutes more. Remove from heat. Slightly beat egg yolks with a rotary beater or a fork. Gradually stir about 1 cup of the hop filling into yolks. Add egg yolk mixture to filling in saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil then reduce heat. Cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Remove from heat. Stir in butter and vanilla. Keep filling warm while preparing meringue.
* Pour warm filling into baked pastry shell.
3 eggs whites
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon cream of tarter
6 tablespoons sugar
* Allow egg whites to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. In large mixing bowl, combine egg whites, vanilla and cream of tarter. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for about a minute or until soft peaks form.
* Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating on high speed about four minutes more or until mixture forms stiff, glossy peaks and sugar dissolves.
* Immediately spread meringue over hot pie filling, carefully sealing to edge of pastry to prevent shrinkage.
* Bake in a 325 degree over for 30 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for an hour. My family likes to eat this pie hot, so we have never allowed cooling 3 to 6 hours before serving, but that's what Better Homes and Gardens suggests.
It is also fantastic for breakfast the next morning...super cold from storing in the refrigerator.

Pretty much it. Although I had a friend who's house was fairly nice who let her house to the council because she couldn't sell it. If it gets trashed by the tenants the council have to sort it out.

Local woman tells stories for a living
RANCHO PENASQUITOS Every time Marilyn McPhie picks up a microphone, her listeners are on the cusp of an experience as old as language itself — a good story, well told, taking shape in the seasoned tones of her voice.
Professional storytellers predate the printing press, but in this hyper-digital age, I was surprised to cross paths with someone who gets paid to recite a good tale.
"You're on an airplane and somebody says, 'What do you do?' You say, 'I'm a storyteller,' and they say, 'How cute! You read books to kids in libraries.' And I do that, but it's a lot more — it's not just for kids," McPhie told me when we met on Wednesday.
"Storytellers are trying to correct the image that storytelling is just for kids. Theater, stand-up comedy, improv — storytelling is part of that same (family)."
As president of the Storytellers of San Diego, a nonprofit collective of around a dozen professionals that she began organizing three years ago, McPhie knows the industry better than anyone.
"The staples for a lot of storytellers are schools and libraries, although more and more, because of cuts to school budgets, you don't have as many opportunities to do school assemblies," she told me.
Another source of income for a professional teller is corporate in-service training sessions. (Along those lines, McPhie appeared on stage at a recent TED conference.)
Meanwhile, the art of the oral tradition incorporates elements of literature and theater, often drawing on centuries-old folk tales, but also more recent fictional works.
McPhie favors Russian stories for their gritty complexity, but her repertoire encompasses all kinds of stories learned and overheard across 28 years. Last year, for example, she appeared alongside the Interfaith Orchestra at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido, reciting "Come Again in the Spring" while the musicians played Aaron Copland's "Appalachian Spring."
Outside of the schools and conference rooms, a handful of annual festivals are dedicated to stoytelling, including one scheduled for April 20 in Encinitas that McPhie's organization launched in 2011.
No matter what stage she appears on, she feels the same pressure as any live performer: "As a storyteller, you have to be able to engage the audience, or you've got no business being there. There's sort of a contract between you and the audience … and they deserve your best effort."
McPhie's career began by coincidence 28 years ago, on the day when she accompanied her two oldest children on their first day of preschool.
"(The administrators) were really serious about the parent-participation thing," she recalled on Wednesday. "They handed you a three-page list of things you could do, and you had to pick — things like, 'Clean the bathrooms once a week.' I didn't want to do that. 'Sew curtains for the play room' — I didn't want to do that, either. On the last page, it said, 'Tell stories every week,' and I thought, well, that sounds easy."
She had no way of knowing how far a well-spun yarn would take her.

It's just a few minutes' walk from the hotel to the old quarter, with its traditional pubs, and the banks of the Rhine. The opera house is right next to the hotel and a number of other cultural institutions are easily accessible on foot. Hotel The Parkhotel is one of the most distinguished hotels in Düsseldorf, known for its impeccable service. The grand hotel's 130 rooms, including 11 suites, cater for every need and the seven function rooms are suitable for events and banquets for up to 250 guests. The cuisine on offer ranges from fine dining and champagne at the Steigenberger Eck to international specialities in the restaurant.

Steelers Practice Report – 11-8Posted by on November 8, 2012 – 4:04 pm
As expected three players didn't practice on Thursday, including receiver Antonio Brown (ankle), safety Troy Polamalu (calf), and linebacker Stevenson Sylvester (hamstring).
Tackle Marcus Gilbert (ankle) and running back Rashard Mendenhall (Achilles) took part in a limited basis, while running backs Jonathan Dwyer (quadriceps) and Chris Rainey (rib) and kick Shaun Suisham (left ankle) were full participants.

to "Steelers Practice Report – 11-8"
By sam i am steelers super fan on Nov 8, 2012 | Reply
Became a steelers fan when surfing the channels one day. I came across a
Steeler's game. The Steelers were 1-13 that year, but what caught my eye was
a rookie named Joe Greene. He sacked the QB, they double teamed him, and he
still sacked the QB. They triple teamed him and he sacked the QB twice more.I
was hooked – Steeler Defense made me a super fan.
Also, I will never forget an interview with Jack Ham, the season following the
Super Bowl victory over the Rams. The Steelers were losing big, and Jack Ham
stated that they were getting old.
Applying Ham's comment to this year, I worry about Troy. James Harrison
and Lamar still aren't full strength. We have been unbelieveably blessed with
Rashrd, Isaac, and Jonathan Dwyer – due mainly to an offensive line that has
really stepped up – despite injuries.
I,m drawing a comparison here with old and current Steelers, because when
Jack Ham made that statement – no one stepped up. These current Steelers
have not only re-established winning ways, but can you imagine what we'll
be like if everyone gets healthy? We're improving each week and our
upcoming contests with the Ravens will determine our destiny. GO STEELERS!

Is roy ever coming back? What exactly is wrong with his calf?

And by Roy, I mean Troy

Troy is hoping to be back for the Ravens game!! He tore his calf,,,that is what's wrong with it!! We are still getting these wins because we have a team of fighters!! As said above…one gets hurt…we have another stepping up to handle their business!!! LOVE THE STEELERS!!! We got this!!! To the injured gentlemen….Get better guys….we miss you out there!!!
