AVG Technologies (NYSE: AVG), the provider of Internet and mobile security to 143 million active users, today announced it has updated AVG AntiVirus for Android™ and launched the new AVG Safe Browser for iPhone®, iPad® and iPod® touch.
"AVG views mobile as a strategic focus area and since the launch of our first mobile security product in 2010, we have seen immense growth in this sector," said JR Smith, CEO of AVG Technologies. "We were the first to provide a free security app for Android devices and today we are very excited to announce a new sleeker and easier to use interface on our very popular Android AntiVirus product. Also today we are launching AVG Safe Browser for iOS, delivering against our multiplatform strategy. This new browser brings AVG's LinkScanner® and AVG Do Not Track technology to the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch."
Updated AntiVirus for Android
The main eye catcher in AVG AntiVirus for Android version 3.0.2 is the new user interface. Based on extensive user feedback, the new design brings a fresh look and feel, and easier to use app.
- New design: sleeker & easier-to-use interface
- Faster and more efficient access to features, tools and sub-categories
- New dashboard
- New categories & menus
Also new in this version is the 'widget' feature which allows users to monitor and interact with the features and indicators without the need to open the app itself. Users can customize the widget to provide quick access to the features and information they prefer on the home screen.
These changes are in addition to the features that made AVG AntiVirus for Android such a popular app:
- Protection – the App and File Scanner protect the mobile device against threats, the Settings Scanner helps to optimize security, SMS Filtering keeps messaging free of scams and Safe Web Surfing protects against suspicious sites before a user lands on them.
- Performance – Tune Up and Task Killer optimize performance.
- Anti-theft – Find and protect a phone if lost or stolen by locating, locking, displaying an onscreen message and wiping it.
- Privacy – App Locker protects your apps from prying eyes by enabling you to lock and secure them individually from being accessed by other people using your phone.
Introducing AVG Safe Browser for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
AVG Safe Browser for iOS is a new browser for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch users who are concerned about privacy and identity threats online. It protects users from online scams and attacks which can occur on any platform with access to the web. Sites that are known to be malicious or contain scams or malware will be blocked using data provided by AVG's LinkScanner technology. This comes on top of the built-in mobile security provided by the operating system.
AVG Safe Browser for iOS also features AVG Do Not Track technology to inform the user which sites are tracking them online and allowing the user to block the ad tracking. AVG believes that making users aware of online privacy is a logical extension to its leading security products. While tracking is not inherently bad, it can be used to collect and share data with third-party companies, a practice that consumers are growing increasingly concerned about and more aware of. The new AVG Do Not Track feature will be turned on by default and will enable users to actively block some advertising networks from sharing data.

I lost my makeup bag on a trip so i had to make a quick dash to the nearest drug store. Stumbled upon this product and thought what the heck, might as well give it a try. Wasn't too expensive. I've used this with my MAC powder and also with my Make Up forever loose and pressed powder and it worked JUST FINE! At first it was a little stiff but after a wash or two some 2 in 1 shampoo & conditioner it's the softest ever!

McLaren Honda is world famous for its Grand Prix racing team, which has won more than 180 races in its 50-year history. Today, the group encompasses a range of high-technology businesses built on the shared values of innovation, creativity, and a single-minded commitment to win. In addition to the race team, they operate McLaren Automotive Ltd., which manufactures high-performance sports cars; McLaren Applied Technologies Ltd, which commercializes materials and systems used in transportation, healthcare, and athletics; and McLaren Electronics Systems Ltd., which is the exclusive supplier of engine control systems for all Grand Prix, Indy Car, and NASCAR teams.
"The traditional belief that the firewall is the fundamental protector of corporate data just doesn't stand up to scrutiny at McLaren. If a document fell into the wrong hands, it would be detrimental to the McLaren business – with the IT team held accountable for any wrongful exchanges."
– Stuart Birrell, CIO, McLaren Group
Intellectual property is the backbone of the McLaren Honda business, with its reputation and competitive advantage hinging on the protection of its confidential information. At this same time, the ability to collaborate easily and quickly across a highly mobile work force with widely distributed suppliers and customers is a competitive necessity. McLaren Honda employees frequently work with highly sensitive information associated with design, manufacturing, and track-side planning. For example, as the exclusive supplier of engine telemetry systems for their rival Grand Prix racing teams, as well as Indy Car and NASCAR, they had to be able to guarantee this information remained confidential and secret.
McLaren Honda had no standardized approach to collaboration, with the result that some groups used email and FTP sites while others had adopted consumer-grade file sharing applications like Dropbox. It was impossible for the IT department to determine where data had been sent, or impose a uniform standard of security and control on how information was shared responsibly. Other problems arose. Versioning of documents such as design specifications became hard to manage. Creating a collaboration space for a project was time consuming, while controlling how information was exchanged with third parties was often impossible. For McLaren Honda, speed was critical — not just on the race track but across their whole business — and their inability to collaborate efficiently was slowing them down.
McLaren Honda understood that they needed a uniform approach to collaboration that would improve efficiency and provide robust controls to secure their valuable data.
They had specific requirements. Recognizing that getting their employees to adopt any new product would be challenging, they needed a solution that could be easily integrated with existing tools and applications like Microsoft SharePoint, and that wouldn't force users to abandon familiar and productive ways of working. Given that its workforce had acclimatized to consumer file-sharing products, it was crucial that any new solution be as easy to use as those cloud-based applications.
The IT department needed to be able to manage security at the individual document level, supported by information rights management capabilities and the ability to control or revoke access to information at will. Strong administrative tools would make adoption and management easier and lower costs. Finding a vendor that had significant experience working with customers operating in highly regulated industries, and that had a global support infrastructure in place, was important.
The company decided to partner with Intralinks to enable its teams to share highly sensitive information with suppliers, partners, engineers, and race staff with greater confidence. The two companies are working closely together to implement Intralinks VIA®, a secure and scalable SaaS platform for file sharing and collaboration within and beyond the corporate firewall.
Intralinks VIA will extend McLaren Honda's existing security protocols at the document level, making it easy to sync, share, and revoke access to files. Provisioning and managing accounts will be easy to administer. Creating ad hoc collaboration with internal staff and external partners and suppliers will be simple for end users to manage, a critical feature for an organization that is very dynamic and needs to be agile.
In addition, Intralinks' UNshare™ capability will provide the IT department with the added peace of mind of knowing that any document can be revoked at any time, to prevent information from getting into the wrong hands.
When evaluating Intralinks VIA, McLaren Honda identified numerous opportunities to improve efficiency. Collaborative work spaces would be faster to set up and quicker to implement. The collaborative process would become more transparent, leading to a reduction in errors. Furthermore, these benefits would apply not only to its employees, but to the extended community of partners and suppliers.
McLaren Honda has identified several use cases for Intralinks VIA. These include collaborating with their supply chain around drawings and design specifications relating to the McLaren Honda race car as well as McLaren Automotive's 12C and P1 supercars. Intralinks will be used to send certified software updates for the engine control units provided by McLaren Electronic Systems to Grand Prix, NASCAR, and Indy Car, and will be deployed at race time to support information exchange between their headquarter operations in the UK and race pit staff at the Grand Prix. There are even plans to use Intralinks to streamline information exchange with McLaren Automotive dealerships worldwide, as well as supporting the legal teams with internal and external collaboration.
"There are several hundred engineers and partners developing the Formula 1 car around the clock, all year round. Even during the race weekend, the innovation cycle does not stop, and we need to ensure our race engineers have easy and secure access to the latest version of a plan, even if it was just created halfway across the world. Working from old plans could mean a loss of just a millisecond on a lap, making the difference between winning and losing. With the help of Intralinks, our race engineers have real-time support around the clock from partners and employees around the world."

Two weeks before the filing deadline, the city clerk's office is seeing numerous Wauwatosa residents submitting candidacy paperwork for the April election.
Two incumbents will seek re-election in April, a newcomer has announced his candidacy and a longtime alderman has chosen to end his service on the Wauwatosa Common Council.
After a decade representing Wauwatosa's 5th District, Alderman Jerry Stepaniak has decided not to seek re-election. He has filed notification of noncandidacy with the city clerk's office. Stepaniak could not be reached for comment.
So far, one newcomer, Bobby Pantuso, has submitted paperwork to run for the 5th District seat.
In the 3rd District, Tim Hanson will run for a second term. A challenger, Sandra Callaghan, has previously announced her entry into the race.
Jason Wilke will run for a two-year position to represent the 8th District. He was appointed in June to fill the seat vacated by Craig Maher. The winner of this seat will finish out the remainder of the term.
District 1 residents will see a contested race now that newcomer John Sandvik has decided to run against incumbent Peter Donegan. Sandvik is involved in the North Avenue Neighborhood Alliance and the Wauwatosa Rotary Club. Previously, he served as president of the Pabst Park Neighborhood Association.

The only splash of colour was in the reality star's chains around his neck, and his bracelet and watch. And of course his tattoos.
Rob's publicity-friendly mother joined him on the red carpet for a photograph opportunity, but the sock designer's famous sisters were nowhere to be seen.
Pregnant Kim did tweet to show her support, sharing a photo of her brother's sock promotion club night with the caption "So excited for Rob!," earlier that day.

After the sock promotion, Rob shared a picture of his group arriving at 1 Oak Nightclub in the Mirage Resort and Casino to celebrate his turning 26, tweeting: "TURN UP CHUCK! VEGAS."
The Keeping Up
With The Kardashian star, who jokingly referred to himself as "fat boy
Rob" is on a health kick to ditch the weight he gained ater his breakup
with British singer Rita Ora.
Since he embarked on his 60-day health kick hikes have become a daily part of Rob's routine.

Rob shared a picture of his friends arriving at the Vegas club, saying:"TURN UP CHUCK! VEGAS"
The 25-year-old - whose birthday is
coming up on Sunday - has been spotted hitting the walking trails around
Los Angeles as he battles to loose 40 pounds.
The significantly heavier reality
star has claimed his relationship breakdown with British pop singer Rita
Ora caused him to put on the extra weight.
Since their split at the end of last year, Rob has openly acknowledged his weight gain posting pictures of his diet food on Twitter declaring it the 'fat boy diet'.
Are those for you? Rob handled some wildly patterned socks during an appearance at Kardashian Khaos in Las Vegas on Saturday
For the fans: The birthday boy tagged his name on a pair of socks for a fan
This week Rita finally talked about
the relationship, saying she feared it might have ruined her career
after Rob said on Twitter she had cheated on him with 20 men.
The 22-year old told Look: 'I don't
vocalise things that don't deserve attention. But it was something that
was so unnecessary. Why would you flood people's brains with unnecessary
'Twitter... can ruin your life. I thought I nearly had a 'ruined' moment, but no.
Long wait: Dozens of fans piled outside the store to catch a glimpse of Rob
Mama's boy: Rob was joined by his mother Kris Jenner and family friend Cynthia Busey
Whose party is it? Rob's mom looked more excited to be there
'When you're involved with someone for a while and they decided to express their feelings to the public - that's not my personal way of therapy, but I guess everyone takes split-ups differently.'
But while Rob took the break up hard, he seems to be doing a lot better and has been spotted out at some of Hollywood's top clubs recently.
On Wednesday night Rob was seen at the Emerson nightclub wearing what looked like the same black leather trousers, reminiscent of those favoured by his soon to be brother-in-law Kanye West.

THE near unimaginable tragedy that has befallen a former Oxford Brookes scholar and his family should awaken us all to the situation on the ground in Gaza.
Setting aside the political element of the conflict, this shows the human cost. Hassan Al Hallaq is currently lying in intensive care having lost his two sons aged six and four, his wife and their unborn baby.
Living almost anywhere else, the Al Hallaqs would, in about four weeks time, be joyfully celebrating the addition of another boy or girl to their family. They would be looking forward to a future together, just as any parents would.
But that happy future has been torn apart.
Often with conflicts of this nature, most of us look at the images in our newspapers or on TV, pause to consider the issue and then quickly push it all to the corner of our minds.
But less than a year ago the Al Hallaqs were here in Oxford, enjoying our beautiful and peaceful city, and immersing themselves in our community.
This fact alone should make us stop and think more thoroughly about the carnage in Gaza and, indeed, in Ukraine.
Whatever the rights and wrongs of all sides involved in these conflicts, we cannot just shrug it off as 'someone else's problem' and then carry on as before.
Just because this is all happening thousands of miles away does not mean the world can turn its back as if the deaths of the Al Hallaq children mean nothing.
There is a very good reason why many immigrants come to this country.
It is for the safety and security it offers them and their families, not the welfare handouts.

text: Home > Medical > Kidney and bladder health > News 26 September 2012 Chronic kidney disease a warning sign Two new studies found that chronic kidney disease itself can be a strong indicator of the risk of death and end-stage renal disease. 0 Follow Health24 on Twitter » Here's how this SA plant could cure your bladder infection What else we do on the loo Two new studies from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and the Chronic Kidney Disease Prognosis Consortium found that the presence of chronic kidney disease itself can be a strong indicator of the risk of death and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) even in patients without hypertension or diabetes. Both hypertension and diabetes are common conditions with chronic kidney disease with hypertension being the most prevalent. The studies were released online in advance of publication in The Lancet. Chronic kidney disease affects 10 to 16% of all adults in Asia, Europe, Australia and the United States. Kidney function is measured by estimating glomerular filtration rate and kidney damage is often quantified by measuring albumin, the major protein in the urine standardised for urine concentration. What was included in the study In the hypertension meta-analysis, low kidney function and high urine protein was associated with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality and ESRD in both individuals with and without hypertension. The associations of kidney function and urine protein with mortality outcomes were stronger in individuals without hypertension than in those with hypertension, whereas the kidney function and urine protein associations with ESRD did not differ by hypertensive status. In the diabetes analysis, individuals with diabetes had a higher risk of all-cause, cardiovascular mortality and ESRD compared to those without diabetes across the range of kidney function and urine protein. Despite their higher risks, the relative risks of these outcomes by kidney function and urine protein are much the same irrespective of the presence or absence of diabetes. "Chronic kidney disease should be regarded as at least an equally relevant risk factor for mortality and ESRD in individuals without hypertension as it is in those with hypertension," said Bakhtawar K. Mahmoodi, MD, PhD, lead author of the hypertension analyses. "These data provide support for clinical practise guidelines which stage chronic kidney disease based on kidney function and urine protein across all causes of kidney disease. The conclusions are strengthened by the findings of leading studies and the participation of investigators from 40, countries and a detailed analysis of over 1 million participants," said Josef Coresh, MD, PhD, MHS, the Consortium's principal investigator and professor in the Bloomberg School's Department of Epidemiology.

Relevant offers
So this is the bit where BNZ Life can jut its chin out and declare that, yes, it has cut back more than half of a terminally ill Bluff woman's payout and she deserved it.
OPINION: Because, see, she didn't disclose that 45 years earlier she was given antidepressants as a young teenager dealing with the aftermath of sexual abuse.
It can then explain how its actions were reasonable, not at all weaselly, and certainly not something that an appalled community should chalk up as another case of insurance industry bastardry.
Meg Bourke had been abused as a 10-year-old and a doctor had given her antidepressants when she was 14. Many years later she ticked "no" on her insurance form application when asked if she had ever had a mental illness, central nervous system disorder, stress, depression or anxiety.
Now she has spent far too many of her last days on this planet trying, and failing, to get her insurers to accept it isn't exactly irrelevant that as far as she knew she had never been diagnosed with the "condition" of depression, as distinct from the state of occasionally feeling depressed.
What's more she had not known - and therefore could hardly have disclosed - that her doctor had mentioned anxiety and stress on her record. This, she maintains, did not amount to a medical diagnosis in any case.
Look, if everything on that application form was automatically to be regarded as a condition if something was done to alleviate it, then surely you have to conclude that any steps any of us may ever have taken to help ourselves feel less depressed - or stressed or anxious - is a case of treating a pre-existing medical condition that we must all be sure to inform our insurers about.
As for the relevance of antidepressants to cancer, BNZ Life might, perhaps, point to research that has found a modest association between the drugs and an increased risk of ovarian cancer, though conventional wisdom appears to be that this is merely enough to warrant further study.
If the insurance industry is treating any of this as reason to chop back coverage to any woman who has ever taken antidepressants and then developed ovarian cancer, then it needs to say so loud and clear. Feel free to discuss among yourselves whether you believe it has given you a fair-enough heads-up about this.
What the company has said, so far, is that having taken those pills was a "material fact" that Mrs Bourke should have disclosed. BNZ Insurance chief operating officer Campbell Chambers says the company advises customers to disclose all facts that might influence an insurer.
And what might influence them? They'll be the judges of that.
Insurance policies are labyrinths of fine print that is later brandished as an excuse to decline, or haggle over, a payout.
The amount of prescience expected of people filling out an insurance form can be crazy. Earlier this year a man diagnosed with rectal cancer was unable to make a planned trip but was denied a travel insurance payout because he hadn't disclosed that he had previously been treated for bleeding piles and suffered from haemorrhoids. But with hindsight, they were symptoms of a pre-existing condition excluded under the policy.
Sometimes you can get somewhere by fighting back against the industry's more wilful tactics. Sadly, people like Meg Bourke so often run out of time and patience. As for the rest of us, we might want to check out our own policies afresh and see if any questions for our own insurers arise.

Public Works department installs new bulbs in traffic lights
Friday, September 13, 2002
The Cape Girardeau public works department is working to save money and energy by installing new light bulbs on several traffic lights in the city.
The department will continue to change traffic bulbs for about a month, public works assistant director Tim Gramling said.
Workers have been changing bulbs on three intersections of Broadway for about a week, replacing incandescent lights with energy-saving, light-emmitting diode (LED) bulbs, which will save the city about $13,000 per year, Gramling said.
The city originally applied for an $83,000 grant from the Department of Natural Resources, which helps fund projects that conserve energy. However, the city got a bargain on the bulbs and will only spend roughly $40,000, Gramling said. The money saved by the bulbs will go toward paying the loan to the DNR. Once the loan is paid, the city will pocket the savings.
The new bulbs are designed to last about 15 years and are guaranteed for five. Gramling said the current bulbs have to be replaced about once per year so the city will save man hours with the new bulbs as well.
The new bulbs are brighter, Gramling said. In all, there will be 591 new bulbs at 13 different intersections.

the only difference between stage 1 and stage 2 foods is the size of the jar.. the actual food is the same so I actually skipped stage 1 since the jars were more money and split a size 2 jar over 2 feedings..though sometimes he finishes a stage 2 jar in one sitting.
Posted 02/27/2013
Yup. Skipped stage 1. Straight to stage 2.

Breakfast was decent and available at 6 am.
Minimal sound muffling at all between rooms or from constant train whistle during the night. In room coffee was disappointing. Toilet seat was broken and microwave was in-operational on arrival. Outside room entrances with semi-trucks allowed to park too near the rooms.

Facts on donating
It courses beneath the surface, invisible. When it flows from a wound, it bares our mortality.
It is a symbol: blood lines, blood brothers. In some faiths it is feared; in others it is the wine that cleanses.
But there is no mystery about what it does. Blood is the life force inside us, the vessel delivering oxygen, nutrients.
Ba-bum. Ba-bum. Ba-bum.
Can you hear it? Hearts beating, pumping blood. Some of these hearts beat no stronger than any other, and yet they are different. They pump blood not just for themselves but for strangers who need it.
Ba-bum. Ba-bum. Ba-bum.
It dwells within us all. Only a relative few give of it.
Len walked ahead of the dozer wearing his hard hat, workbooks and safety vest. He was lean and fit, six feet, 170 pounds. They were levelling the ground for a new floor inside a warehouse.
Len Graats was 53 years old and had been in the construction business since his teens. It was four days before Christmas.
He felt something from behind. It bumped his heel and crept up his leg. The dozer. The track of the steel monster pushed him over and began crushing him.
In hospital, family and friends arrived from out of town to be at his side to say goodbye.
He needed blood, more blood than Hamilton General Hospital had in stock.
When the parents learned that their baby would be a girl, they decided upon a name that was traditional, old-world Italian. They chose Carmella.
As soon as she was born, Carmella's breathing was weak and her skin pale. Genetic testing revealed that she had Diamond-Blackfan anemia, named for the physicians who discovered it 70 years ago.
The blood disorder appears in just one in 200,000 births. Carmella's red blood cell count was very low. Her bone marrow was not able to make enough of the cells.
Her mother and father were devastated. It was not what they expected to discover about their perfect baby. She needed blood. She needed blood, or she would die.
It started 11 years ago but didn't seem alarming. Blood work showed Don Lambert had a low white cell count. Some people just have it, his doctor said. It's manageable. And then last year it all changed. He bled from the nose and mouth.
In June 2011, he heard the diagnosis: AML. Acute myeloid leukemia.
"The bad stuff," Don said. "The end of the line."
His faith remained strong but he looked for revelation in his garage. That's where his prized car was in pieces, the 1951 Jaguar XK120. He and his bride, Marcelle, had driven it on their honeymoon in '66.
He wanted to restore it. That would take at least a year, though.
His prognosis? About 11 months to live. To survive even that long he would need new blood, every week.
The clear tube extending from Richard Martin's arm turns deep red.
On the floor beside him a small white box pumps rhythmically back and forth, back and forth, mixing his blood with an anti-coagulant drug added to all of the pint-sized donor collection bags.
He exudes energy, is a recreation therapist at St. Joseph's Psychiatric Hospital and a blood donor for five years. He has given more than 50 times.
"I don't get tired from it, not at all," he says. "And some people think it hurts but it's painless."
He says the nurses, technicians and volunteers at the Ancaster Blood Clinic are like family.
He gives the maximum, which is every 56 days — the time required for cells to regenerate. No doubt he would give more often if they'd let him.
"It's a habit but a good one. I pop in on my lunch break. It's a small sacrifice."
Lois and Rick Tarbutt recently started giving. They are retired and treat it as an afternoon out. Donate, go out for lunch, shop. A blood date.
The Tarbutts have viewed inspirational videos showing the good their donations do.
"It makes you feel warm but that's not what motivates us," says Lois. "We just know we should come."
"It's the right thing to do," says Rick. "It's an easy way to do something for people. It doesn't hurt. And you get free cookies."
They wait in the screening area. Each time a donor gives, even the regulars, they present their donor I.D. card, fill out a questionnaire, and meet one-on-one with a nurse to answer questions.
Screening protects the donors (Are they healthy enough to give blood? Is their iron level high enough?) as well as recipients (Is their blood safe? Have they have travelled to any foreign countries where their health might have been compromised?)
The tainted-blood scandal in Canada in the late 1980s and early 1990s, when the Canadian Red Cross ran the blood system, left a lasting impact.
The system under the current steward, Canadian Blood Services (CBS), a nonprofit organization, features safeguards, screening, and multiple checkpoints in the journey of blood from donors to recipients.
"(Tainted blood) was a tragedy and we must never forget the legacy that we inherited," says CBS spokesperson Veronica Magee. "To ensure that the same mistakes never happen again, the blood system is very different today. We have effective and responsive processes in place to ensure the safety of the blood system."
Samples from every blood donation unit are tested at a lab in Toronto for transmissible diseases. The full units go to a state-of-the-art production and distribution facility CBS opened in Brampton last February.
Up until recently, Hamilton had one of these centres, but on a much smaller scale, in a building on Main Street East at Victoria that used to be a funeral home.
At the new facility, bags of blood donations arrive on cold trays from clinics and are assessed, processed, and shipped to 102 southern Ontario hospitals, from Windsor to Fort Erie.
Units of blood at the facility are typically separated into three products: plasma, red blood cells and platelets. All three help patients in different ways. CBS ships 30,000 red blood cell units out of Brampton to hospitals each month.
CBS recruits individuals to give blood but also groups from businesses to lock-in consistent, multiple donors. Donation slogans keep changing but the need does not.
The pitch used to be that one donor can save a life. Now the pitch is: many donors save many lives.
"Because there are many lives to save," says Denise Saulnier, the recruitment co-ordinator.
Dan Sorbara sits in the recovery area of the Ancaster clinic. Most donors eat a snack in the small cafeteria to get re-energized before leaving.
Fact is, he feels great after giving blood but hangs around to visit with volunteers Clare Archer and Lil Hurst, who wear red CBS vests.
He is 30 and a Hamilton cop.
When he was a teenager, his grandfather needed a transfusion.
That's what inspired him to become a donor, and he never stopped.
"You do kind of wonder sometimes who will be receiving it," he says. "All I know is it's someone who needs it."
He bites into a cookie and sips apple juice.
"Dan is one of our favourites," says Clare. "He always chats with us."
"Donors are special people," says Lil. "Or else they wouldn't give blood."
The Miracle Man enters a hotel lobby in his wheelchair. The Miracle Man: that's what staff called Len Graats at Hamilton General Hospital when he survived.
In the first 48 hours after he was crushed by a dozer on a construction site near Guelph, they pumped 200 units of blood into him.
A blood donor gives one unit, equal to one pint or one half litre of blood, at a single donation. Two-hundred units.
He emptied the hospital's blood stock; the General had more delivered from other hospitals. Len was in a medically induced coma for three weeks.
Later, his body was ravaged by three infections.
His right leg was amputated. He still had the left, with partial movement.
Today, eight years after the accident, he can stand and move with a walker. Overall, physically, this year has been Len's best since he was injured.
He and his wife, Joanne, talk about how close he came to dying, about how grateful they are for the blood donors who gave him life.
They live in London, are both retired, and give speeches for Canadian Blood Services, urging others to give. Joanne is a donor and so is Len, coming full circle, giving back that which he received.
And they forgave the dozer driver.
"I told him it was probably worse for him than it was for me," Len says.
Len and Joanne smile a lot, finish each other's sentences, correct each other's stories. And they take nothing for granted.
They celebrated 40 years married last June, drove an RV through the southwest U.S., then went on a cruise, and toured Europe.
"Isn't he handsome?" says Joanne.
"Life is good," says the Miracle Man.
That's what the word sounds like when Carmella says it. Blood.
The two-and-a-half-year-old girl wears jeans and a shirt with red and pink flowers on it. Her toenails have traces of red polish.
The blood-filled tube stretches from a bag on a pole into a portal in her chest. She stares at the tube, plays with it, in her hands, toes.
Carmella Soulliere doesn't look like she has a disease that requires her to come to McMaster Children's Hospital and receive a blood transfusion every three or four weeks.
She has had about 35 transfusions in her young life.
Diamond-Blackfan anemia has led to other problems: a collapsed lung when she was younger, and she lost hearing in her right ear following an infection.
Since her body is not producing enough red cells, a bone marrow transfusion is a cure, if a match can be found. But that, too, carries risk.
Carmella's mother, Sara, can't help but take a dim view of risk. That even goes for the transfusions. She is grateful for the donors, and yet, being a parent, she is haunted by worst-case scenarios.
She knows the blood is safe, that it's highly unlikely anything could go wrong. Then again, her daughter has a rare blood disorder. (Carmella's brothers, Tiago, 5, and Dominick, 1, were not born with it.)
"I trust it, I do, but she was unlucky in the first place," says Sara.
Each time Carmella comes in for a transfusion, her energy is flagging, the lack of red cells wearing the girl down, her skin pale. And then a stranger's blood enters her system.
Revitalized, she mugs for the camera, giggles, slurps from a carton of chocolate milk, stands up and bounces on the bed, oblivious to the tube in her chest.
A nurse plays This Little Piggie with her toes and Carmella laughs. Works every time.
Don Lambert emerges from a tent he's pitched in his yard, holding an automatic paint scraper and wearing coveralls, plastic gloves, dust mask, goggles and a New York Yankees helmet.
"I look like I'm from outer space, but I have to protect myself."
He works against the clock to bring his '51 Jaguar back to life but must take care.
Don bleeds easily because with acute myeloid leukemia, his blood does not coagulate properly. He's also at risk to infections that will kill him.
His eyes are a hard blue, his mind clear. But Don, who turns 76 in November, says he's moving at half-speed physically, the cancer has shrunk his body and energy.
In the garage sits the chassis. Inside the tent, he buffs up body work pieces, which he handles like fine china. His three sons will help him with the restoration.
There is no restoring himself. But new blood has sustained him.
"Without the transfusions, I'd be toast."
He has received one or two units of red cells every week for more than a year at Juravinski Cancer Centre, and now also platelets once a week — blood cells that clump together to promote coagulation to control his bleeding.
In June 2011, he was given 11 months to live. He's at 15 now.
"It's a matter of months."
The car hasn't run in many years. Will he ever hear the engine growl again?
"I hope so. Anyway, I'm not the kind of guy who sits around."
He knows what some people would probably think of his focus. A car? He can all but hear the question: Don, shouldn't you be doing something more — important?
He sees it, though, in his mind's eye: the Jag in full bloom, coloured English white, just as it looked on the honeymoon, when he and Marcelle rode so low in the cockpit you could all but touch the road; top down on a warm summer night roaring through the Ottawa Valley en route to the Chateau Laurier and, ultimately, the Gaspé.
The answer is, no, there is nothing more important.
