How My Job Group Ltd uses cookies
This page gives you information about cookies. It has been created in order to explain what cookies are, how we use them on our sites and how you can control them.
What are cookies?
Cookies are very small text files which store very small amounts of information. They are used to remember settings and preferences between visits to the site, as well as information between different pages on the same site.
For security reasons, and by design, cookies can only be read by the site that set them. For example, we have no access to cookies set on your computer by, Google, Yahoo, Microsoft or any other website on the internet. However, through the use of third party cookies, it is possible for sites to collect information about visitors to other sites. For example, online advertisers may use third party cookies to anonymously track an individual's visits to sites on the web.
More information about how we allow third party cookies on our sites is given below.
To find out more about cookies in general, you might find the following links useful:
How do we use cookies?
Currently, there are four types of cookies that may be generated as you browse our site: session cookies, preference cookies, analytics cookies and third party cookies.
1. Session Cookies
As you move through the site, various pieces of information need to be stored in order for the site to function properly. For example, if you perform a search for jobs, the search terms you use will be remembered so that you can change them later. If you log in, we will remember which account you logged in with.
This information is stored in a database and is referred to as a session. We set one cookie to keep track of which session you are using. Old session data is automatically deleted from our databases multiple times a day, so we do not store this information long-term.
In addition to the session cookie, we sometimes set a cookie to check if we can set cookies on your computer. This is done for diagnostic purposes when you use our contact form. We use this information to help solve any problems you may have encountered.
How do I control session cookies?
You can use your browser settings to control whether or not we set session cookies. More information on your browser settings is provided at the bottom of this page.
Please be aware that session cookies are critical to the working of the site. If you choose to disable cookies from this site, you will not be able to log in and the functionality of the site will be greatly reduced.
2. Preference Cookies
Currently we only set four types of preference cookie. One is set if you manually switch between mobile or desktop versions (e.g. view the desktop version of the site when on a mobile phone). Your choice will be stored in a cookie. Two are used to store your cookie choice: one is set to store the time the cookie alert banner first appeared, and the other when you click OK to signify that you have accepted cookies. At time of writing, a fourth cookie is used to store whether the invitation to complete our survey has been shown to you.
How do I control preference cookies?
These cookies are set as a direct result of your choice, and function solely as indicators of what that choice was. We do not believe they pose any risk to your privacy. However, you can always use your browser settings to control whether or not our site can set cookies on your computer.
Please be aware that cookies are critical to the working of the site. If you choose to disable cookies from this site, you will not be able to log in and the functionality of the site will be greatly reduced.
3. Analytics Cookies
In order to monitor how our sites are performing, we collect data about page visits. This information is completely anonymous — we cannot determine who it came from. When we use this data, we look at numbers of visitors overall rather than individual visits.
Analytics information is used in reports and to improve our site. For example, we have used analytics data to add, remove or change features of the site based on how popular they are with users.
We track, for example:
- the numbers of visitors to individual pages;
- when pages were visited;
- how long users stayed on the page;
- the page they came from;
- technical data about the device being used to browse the site (such as browser and operating system version, and display size) — we use this data to ensure that the technology our site uses is appropriate for the majority of our users, and how best to display the site for users who have less capable browsers.
Application source analytics — jobs without an 'Apply now' button
Occasionally our recruiters prefer the application process for their jobs to take place on a site of their choosing, rather than use the application process we provide. These jobs are easily identified because they do not have an 'Apply now' button. This makes it difficult for us to show how many candidates we have generated for them.
In this case, we set a cookie on your computer which can then be detected on the recruiter's external application page, if the recruiter has placed some of our code on their site. This allows us to count your visit to their page as having come from us.
If you are not signed in, this cookie is completely anonymous and does not provide us or the recruiter with your identity. Anonymous visitor data collected in this way is used in aggregate (in other words we look at visitor numbers overall, not individual visits).
If you are signed in, and you view a job without an 'Apply now' button then visit the recruiter's application page, we count this as a job application, and the recruiter will receive an application email with your details. This is because we consider visits to the application page to be application for that job. Not all recruiters request this information, or use our tracking code, so it is very possible that your data will not be passed on.
If you would prefer us not to use your information in this manner, you are welcome to opt out. You can do this by visiting the opt out page where your option will be stored. Please note that we use a cookie to store your option. Since cookies are specific to the computer and browser you use, if you are not logged in, you will need to opt out on every computer and browser that you use to browse our site. For logged in users, your choice is stored in your account settings, so you only need to opt out once.
More information about analytics cookies
We use Google to provide our analytics data. You can read more about how Google Analytics treats your data at: Google: Safeguarding your data.
You can also read Google's full privacy policy.
How do I control analytics cookies?
Google provides a tool to opt-out of Google Analytics. This is available for all modern browsers in the form of a browser plugin.
Additionally, you can control how cookies are set using your browser settings. See below for more information.
4. Third party cookies
The advertisements you see displayed on the site are generated by third parties. These services may use their own anonymous cookies to track how many times a particular ad has been displayed to you, and may track your visits to other sites where their ads are displayed. Please note that advertisers can only track visits to sites which display their ads or other content. This tracking is anonymous, meaning that they do not identify who is viewing which ads.
Tracking in this manner allows advertisers to show you ads that are more likely to be interesting to you, and also limit the number of times you see the same ad across a wide number of sites. As an example of how advertisers operate, if you recently researched holidays, adverts for holiday operators may subsequently appear on our sites.
Your privacy is protected because we do not have access to, or control over, these third party cookies; nor can we view the data held by these advertisers. All the online advertisers we use provide ways for you to opt-out of your browsing being tracked. More information about our advertisers, and how to opt-out, is provided below.
We display adverts from a German company called AdTech GmbH. You can view AdTech's privacy policy here, click privacy policy and cookie opt-out at the bottom of the page to find out more. Here it gives you the information to allows you to control what cookies AdTech saves on your computer.
Google AdSense
We display adverts from Google. Google ads are covered by the same privacy policy as Google Analytics.
You can discover how Google protects your privacy relating to ads at Google's Advertising privacy FAQ. This page also allows you to control what cookies Google AdSense saves on your computer.
We will shortly be displaying adverts for certain jobs on other websites. We will be partnering with a UK company called Crimtan Tangerine Limited. They set cookies on your computer which allow them to determine which ads you will be more likely to be interested in based on other sites you have visited.
Crimtan has published a privacy policy and also provides the ability to opt-out of their network if you wish.
More information about online advertising and tracking
The International Advertising Bureau has produced a website to give more information about privacy and advertising on the internet.
Controlling cookies within your browser
A browser is a program you use to view web pages. Your browser should allow you to control what cookies are set on your computer, and how long they are stored. You may have more than one browser installed on your computer. In this case, you will need to change the settings for each browser you use, since cookies are stored by the browser and are not made available to other browsers on your system.

Form Follows Function Two time-honored axioms in architecture are "less is more," and "form follows function." Our blind is serviceable in its simplicity, and easy to maintain. In years past, my partners and I have built blinds with backrooms, full kitchens, flush toilets, heating systems, electric lights, and other amenities. I have shared other hunters' blinds that were equipped with televisions, sleeping quarters, and theater seats. One blind even had a personal computer with Internet access.
Our new blind includes none of these luxuries, but it does everything we want it to do. It totally conceals us from the sharp eyes of our quarry. It is incredibly cozy—although when it's really cold, we bring a portable heater with us. It gives us plenty of room to move around in, and we don't need a kitchen, since we rarely cook in the blind. (Our cabin is only a five-minute ATV ride away, and nowadays we'd rather eat at a table on clean dishes.)

Maine's state geologist reported no major concerns for spring flooding.
State Geologist Bob Marvinney said that the potential for spring flooding across the state is normal.
Speaking at the annual meeting of the River Flow Commission in Augusta, Marvinney reported that, aside from the western mountains area where the snow pack is high, the rest of the state is normal.
Marvinney stressed though, despite the large amount of snow from a string of storms, it is what happens from here on out that will determine if any flooding occurs.
Geologists will be in the field weekly measuring the snow pack for its water content.

OAKLAND -- Oakland A's general manager Billy Beane, the architect of one of baseball's most remarkable turnarounds in years this season, was selected by his peers as the Sporting News Major League Baseball Executive of the Year Wednesday night.
Beane, who improbably built the A's into the American League West Division champions this season, was presented with the award Wednesday night at the league's annual GM Meetings in Indian Wells. It was second time that Beane has won the award -- he also was named Executive of the Year in 1999.
Beane, the A's general manager the past 16 years, was the overwhelming winner this year, earning 31 votes. Washington Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo (13 votes) was second and Jon Daniels of the Texas Rangers (6 votes) was third.
Following a 74-88 season in 2011, Beane directed a major overhaul to the A's roster last offseason. He traded away three All-Star pitchers in Gio Gonzalez, Trevor Cahill and Andrew Bailey, acquiring numerous young players who played prominent roles in the A's second-half flourish which saw the team register the best record (72-38) in the Majors after June 1.
Trailing Texas by five games with nine games remaining in the season, manager Bob Melvin steered Oakland to a six-game, season-ending winning streak to finish 94-68 and surprisingly claim the 2012 AL West title on the season's final day.
It was the first time in Major League history that a team has come back from a deficit of five or more games with fewer than 10 games remaining to win a division or pennant.
The 2012 A's, who faced a 13-game deficit to Texas on June 30, also became only the fifth team in Major League history to win a division or pennant after trailing by 13 or more games.
By season's end, center fielder Coco Crisp was the only player in the A's lineup who started at the same position the previous year. What's more, Oakland featured an all-rookie starting rotation during the stretch run.
A rookie pitcher started each of the last 14 games of the season, the third longest streak in Major League history, and a rookie started 22 of the last 24 games. Tommy Milone (13-10) and Jarrod Parker (13-8) -- two of the young pitchers acquired in offseason deals -- became the first rookie duo to win at least 13 games in a season since the 1952 Brooklyn Dodgers Joe Black 15, Billy Loes 13).

Which Federal Appeals Court Cites Wikipedia Most Often?
On Friday, the Richmond-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit tossed out convictions in a cockfighting case — because a juror used Wikipedia to research an element of the crime. The Fourth Circuit, in arriving at its decision, expressed concerns about Wikipedia's reliability, given its "open-access nature."
In the opinion, Judge Barbara Milano Keenan rattled off several cases in which federal judges admonished immigration judges or lawyers for citing Wikipedia. That got us thinking about a 2007 story in the New York Times about judges increasingly citing Wikipedia in their rulings. The story noted at the time that more than 100 judicial rulings had relied on the accuracy of the online encyclopedia since 2004, including 13 from federal courts of appeals.
We were curious about the trend and did our own simple search. We found that in the five years since that story, federal courts of appeals have cited Wikipedia about 95 times, including a case last month in which Judge Richard Posner of the Seventh Circuit pointed to Wikipedia's entry on anal fissure – "no fun at all," he noted with understatement.
His colleague on the Seventh Circuit, Judge Diane Sykes, cited Wikipedia's entry on the 1974 Mel Brooks comedy "Blazing Saddles," in a ruling earlier this year. Last year, Judge Terrence O'Brien of the 10th Circuit looked to Wikipedia for the definition of "happy hour," which, according to the entry, occurs between four and seven in the evening. The Ninth Circuit, in a per curium opinion last August, relied on Wikipedia's entry on Elvis Presley, as if to prove his status as "the King."
Law Blog decided to look at which courts cited Wikipedia most often. We only recorded those instances in which an appeals court used Wikipedia for its own purposes, rather than citing it secondarily through a lower court or a party's pleading.
The two court of appeals most comfortable with Wikipedia were the Seventh Circuit and the Ninth Circuit, with 36 citations and 17 citations, respectively. The 10th Circuit and Sixth Circuit recorded eight and six citations, respectively. The First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Eighth and 11th circuits all had five or fewer Wikipedia citations.
Neither the D.C. Circuit nor the Federal Circuit — that we could find — has cited Wikipedia in an opinion. Nor has the Supreme Court, at least not yet.

KEYSTONE, SD. It's morning in the Black Hills of South Dakota and it's cold and damp.
In the mountains the suns come up over the rim of the narrow gorges and daylight creeps down the opposite side at a snails pace. Heavy dew forms early in the night and may never burn off entirely if the day is cloudy.
The tent has a heavy layer of beaded raindrops from yesterday's shower and the inside walls are damp with condensate. If the clouds don't part and allow the sun to dry it, we'll have to shake it out when we break camp and put it away damp.
I envy the people who live here.
There is nothing quite like driving along the winding roads built through the narrow valleys walled by steep tree-covered hills. Perhaps your destination is within those hills, as ours was, or perhaps you're on your way to someplace on the other side of them. But when you leave them you'll dream about the the low clouds entangled in the tree tops for the rest of your life.
We're camped outside of Keystone, a town of about 300 permanent residents and it seems like tens of thousands of transients. We set up at Kemp's Camp, a delightful campground just a couple miles outside of town on a side canyon.
I've been here several times before, the last time with my children in a happier time. I brought them back with me to make new memories.
We have a guest with us, a young lady from Poland who is thinking about studying in the United States. With a limited time left on her visit we thought about taking her to see something really spectacular within a reasonable driving distance.
The Black Hills are home to two of three examples of American mountain sculpture, Mt. Rushmore and the Crazy Horse Monument, the latter still a work in progress.
Gutzon Borglum, the sculptor of Mt. Rushmore, wanted to build a gigantic monument to the men who made America that could not easily or conveniently be pulled down by later generations, as has been the fate of so many throughout history. Most recently the twin Buddahs blown to bits by the Taliban barbarians in Afghanistan.
Korszak Ziolkowski's family are engaged in a generations-long project to memorialize a great chief of the first nations of America, defeated but not conquered by the new American nation.
It is entirely fitting that the two monuments should be located close to each other. Just as it is entirely fitting that the great bas relief carved into the side of Stone Mountain, Georgia should honor the heroes of the Confederacy.
We are what our history has made us. If we did not honor the courage of those whose defeat led us to become what we are, we would be a petty people without honor.
And what have we become, what will we become as a nation?
In a short while we will break camp and decide where we will go and what we will see next.
Wherever we decide to go, we'll start out across highways carved through mountains, covering distances in a day that used to take months for the first pioneers.
That's what we have become, perhaps along the way we'll get a hint of what we will become.

Meet the glimins: Poxel raises €13m
19.12.2012 - Poxel has successfully closed a Series B financing round. A big share of the €13m will go into the research of glimins, a new anti-diabetics class.
This pill tastes like sugar. Investors of French Poxel SA believe in the biotech's oral anti-diabetic drug and invest another €13m in a Series B round. Poxel from Lyon announced the news on 18 December. The financing, led by Edmond de Rothschild Investment Partners (EdRIP), included all existing investors such as the InnoBio fund managed by CDC Enterprises within FSI France Investment programme and Omnes Capital (formerly Crédit Agricole Private Equity). According to the press release, a significant part of the funds will be used to confirm efficacy data of the company's lead programme, Imeglimin. The drug is the first in a new Tetrahydrotriazine-containing class of oral anti-diabetics, the glimins.
Poxel was established in 2009, when German Merck KGaA merged with Swiss Serono. The company's platform are those drug candidates for metabolic diseases that Merck-Serono elected not to continue. In 2010 Poxel raised €16m. Now, with refilled pockets, the small company is about to bring Imeglimin through Phase II trials as a monotherapy and as an add-on therapy to the main anti-diabetic agents, starting with metformin and sitagliptin. However, a crucial Phase IIb study starts in early 2013, when Imeglimin's efficacy profile as a monotherapy treatment will be evaluated in a large six-month trial involving 400 diabetic patients.
Imeglimin has a mitochondria-based mechanism of action, targeting the respiratory chain. It acts on the three key defects of Type 2 diabetes, inhibiting hepatic gluconeogenesis, increasing muscle glucose uptake and restoring normal insulin secretion. Thierry Hercend, MD, PhD and Chairman of the board believes that Imeglimin has the "potential to become a new anti-diabetic standard treatment."

Post subject: Hello - update on me
Hello everyone
How are you all?
Well I just thought I would come on and give a quick update on me
I had the MRI scan on 25th April and still hadn't had the results so I decided to ring yesterday - my results are in and the lady on reception (who believe me we are on first names terms now) said that Dr has put file on them? - so means no further action
I have asked her if we could go straight back to IVF she said Dr will want to see me go over results then we can go back to IVF
So she brought my app forward to see her to the 9th July (still peed off with this as this was going back to Feb when I requested the app although its better than late August)
So hopefully after being seen on the 9th we can head straight back to IVF and get started
I hope nothing else crops up
It works quite well with work as we are moving to a new office 40 miles away and its KAOS at the moment I am tired and stressed out with it all now I just want to move I accpeted the commute a long time ago in my head (4 months ago) just want to get moving the new office is devine

In our health library, you will find all of the information you need to achieve your goals of making a healthy lifestyle change. So, start reading and start losing!
Senior Health
Here you will find informative articles on the topic of senior nutrition. Topics covered range from senior nutrition and weight loss to the relationship between BMI and quality of life for the elderly.
Common conditions about the elderly are diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and past heart attacks. With these types of illnesses, food, in addition to medication, becomes key to the very survival of elderly people. Every food that elderly people eat should be scrutinized to determine that it is the right thing for them to be eating. Although one potato chip would not likely hurt someone, it is a dangerous road to go down for people with these types of conditions.
Elderly Food by BistroMD
If you have an elderly parent, you are no doubt concerned about the type of food that they are eating. If they live nearby, or even in the same home, it is easier to ensure that they are eating properly. You can stop by their home and check out the cupboards or prepare their meals for them, ensuring that they are getting the right type of food. What do you do, however, if your elderly parent lives several hours away or even across the country? How do you help them in their food selection and preparation? Although they may assure you that they are eating food, you cannot possibly know if they are putting too much salt in their meals or if they are eating too much fatty food.
Although it may not be feasible for you to see your elderly parent on a daily basis, there is a way that you can make sure that they are eating properly. If you sign them up for BistroMD food delivery service, you can ensure that will receive healthy, nutritious meals to eat each day. The program will provide them with a week's worth of food at a time. All they have to do is heat, eat and enjoy their delicious meal.
The best part about BistroMD's elderly food program is that you know how much sodium is in each food that they are eating and you know that they are getting enough vegetables. You will know this because you will be able to select which meals that they receive each week. It is like the benefit of cooking for your elderly parent each day, without having to move several hours away to do so.
Simply answer a few questions so we can figure out your weight loss goals and provide solutions for a lighter, healthier you. Our weight loss meal plans are designed to help real people achieve real and lasting success.

News12 at 6 o'clock / Monday, Dec. 24, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Lt. Eric Abdullah has been with the Aiken County Sheriff's Office for 10 years. He's no stranger to violence or crime, but right now his biggest concern is drinking and driving during the holidays.
"Within Aiken County there is 39 miles of interstate. So we get a good portion of traffic of those who are traveling east and west," Abdullah said.
Lee Opel runs the Big Tree package store on Washington Road. Christmas Eve is one of her busiest times of the year. State law requires her to shut down on Christmas Day, so on Monday night, she got a lot of last-minute buyers.
Abdullah says while drinking is not against the law, driving while being impaired is. And his officers are on the look out for drunken drivers and their habits.
"Weaving in the lane of travel, driving on the opposite side of the road onto on coming traffic. Someone who is giving on those indicators of being a distracted driver," Abdullah said.
The legal limit for drivers in both Georgia and South Carolina is .08. However, Abdullah says the limit could be even lower for some people.
"A person can drink two beers and be at a .08. That's a little bit over, but that's a possibility. To where the next person can consume four beers and be at a .08," Abdullah said.
Abdullah wouldn't say if any checkpoints were planned but did advise partiers to make plans before drinking.
"The best thing to do is have a designated driver. Or be at a location where you can stay the night," he said.

You could almost see it coming, previously top-ranked Ohio State getting ambushed by Wisconsin 31-18 Saturday night on primetime ESPN TV.
Thing is, OSU's setback was not quarterback Terrelle Pryor's fault, nor head coach coach Jim Tressel's. Not even the Buckeye special teams play.
The Ohio State schedule-makers - whoever they are - deserve all of the blame for this loss, even though they didn't make a tackle or run a sweep.
Schedules, of course, are made up way in advance. Whoever did the 2010 slate didn't do the Buckeyes any favors, didn't help prepare them, and actually set them up with several cupcakes.
Not the kind you eat, either. But the kind a team devours on the gridiron.
The schedule-makers made it too easy for the Buckeyes, who by the way have dropped to No. 11 in the AP poll.
Wisconsin was the first truly good team the Buckeyes played this season. During the prior weeks, the scarlet and gray faced and defeated Marshall, Miami (Fla.), Ohio University, Eastern Michigan, Illinois and Indiana - all pretty much gimmes.
Seriously, were you ever worried that Ohio State would lose any of these games?
The Hurricanes of Miami had the potential to be a dangerous opponent but weren't - this year. Next year at their place could be a different story.
Illinois and Indiana are Big Ten members, like Ohio State, so the schedule-makers are off the hook there.
But the fact is, neither of these schools is exactly a national football power by any stretch of the imagination.
In fact, when you think of Indiana, basketball and Bobby Knight - even though he's been long gone from the institution - always seem to come to mind.
As for OSU's other three 2010 non-conference opponents' Marshall, OU and Eastern Michigan...c'mon, now, give me a break.
Just look at the final scores of each of those games.
Heck, Mount Union, a perennial NCAA Division III powerhouse, would've been just as and maybe more competitive.
But, heaven forbid that Ohio State play a D-II or D-III school - but, y'know, long ago it did.
In the category for what it's worth, Ohio State has played Marietta College eight times in its history, and incredibily lost two of those games to the Pioneers. Of course, all of this occurred over 100 years ago as the series ended in 1902.
It's admirable and probably foolish, too, that the OSU schedule-makers would include many in-state D-I schools on the slate, but it really doesn't help the Buckeyes any when they have to play a school as good or better than them.
The problem with playing weaker opponents at the beginning of the season is that it doesn't toughen a team up. If anything, it seems to give a team a false sense of being better than it really is.
Did Ohio State really think all it had to do was show up, and Wisconsin would fold on the spot?
Before Saturday night, all the Buckeyes had been doing was padding their stats. Sorry, but there are no schools in the Mid-American Conference and Conference USA that belong on the same gridiron as Ohio State. It's too much of a mismatch.
Yes, major upsets can occur. Appalachian State over Michigan comes to mind. That would've been like Marshall over Ohio State - and that's just not going to ever happen.
Next year, the Buckeyes will kick of the season 2-0 because they play Akron and Toledo. Talk about no suspense.
These MAC schools might be good for scrimmages but not actual games at the Horseshoe.
Sometime in the future, Ohio State really needs to compete on a regular basis against non-conference foes like Notre Dame, West Virginia, Virginia Tech, Texas, or Southern Cal. Schools its own size.
Probably won't happen, though, and the schedule-makers will continue to make it easy on the Buckeyes.
As for the remainder of this season, rest easy, Ohio State fans.
Looking at their 2010 slate, the Buckeyes probably won't lose another regular-season game. They should even beat Iowa, a team that is expected to provide them with a challenge.
They will also of course be competing in a bowl game - somewhere in the land. You can almost count on it - and not every big school like OSU can say that.
When it's all said and done, the scarlet and gray will more than likely finish in the top 10 final rankings.
But regaining the top spot and playing in the national championship game, now, seems a long shot at best - thanks to Wisconsin and of course the schedule-makers.

Gore Range DUI Task Force campaign nets 23 DUI arrests
As most of us were opening gifts, spending time with family and friends and enjoying the holidays, Eagle County law enforcement officers were on the streets cracking down on impaired drivers to make our roadways safer.
The "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over" campaign in Eagle County resulted in more than 23 impaired-driving arrests, eight other significant arrests and 38 citations during the special enforcement period, which was held Dec. 12 through Jan. 1.
The enforcement blitz was designed to decrease impaired driving fatalities here and nationwide. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 32,885 people were killed in motor vehicle traffic crashes during 2010. Thirty-one percent (10,228) of those fatalities occurred in alcohol-impaired-driving crashes.
The Gore Range DUI Task Force is very proud to report zero alcohol-impaired driving fatalities in Eagle County for the entire year of 2012. "We met our number one goal," said Deputy Jake Best, the Director of the Gore Range DUI Task Force. Over the past couple of years, Eagle County has at least five alcohol related fatalities, and a spike of 13 fatalities in 2007.
No DL
A deputy stopped a car for speeding in Gypsum Dec. 27.
The 21-year-old driver didn't have a license. He said he was on probation for an alcohol offense and wasn't supposed to drive.
The deputy arrested the man for driving without a license and speeding.
Ran but couldn't hide
A deputy made three attempts to contact a 25-year-old Edwards resident for two active warrants before he was successful.
On Dec. 14, the officer went to the man's house and knocked on the door. The porch light turned on and the man saw the deputy through the window. He ran away from the door and all the lights switched off.
On Dec. 19, the deputy saw the man park his car in the driveway and run inside the house, leaving the parking lights of his car on. Knocks at the door weren't answered.
On Dec. 28, the deputy saw the suspect's car parked at a store. He had two other deputies assist him this time.
An officer saw the suspect inside the store and knocked on the window. He showed his badge and motioned for the man to join him outside. Instead the man ran to the back of the store and an employee motioned to the officer that he couldn't let him in that door. The other two officers covered the exits.
The man ran around the store in a frantic, back-and-forth chase before he was caught. He was arrested for obstructing a peace officer and for the warrants of assault and failing to appear in court.
The man said he knew about the warrants and ran because his family needed him. He said he missed his court date because his baby was born that day.
No DL, part II
A deputy saw a car weaving on Interstate 70 near Minturn Dec. 29. He stopped the driver and discovered the 22-year-old's license was revoked for an alcohol/drug offense. She was arrested for driving without a license and weaving.
Stolen gun
On Dec. 30, a second-homeowner told deputies that a pistol was stolen from a bedroom drawer in his Beaver Creek condo between August and December.
He said several cleaning and construction crews had been in his home during that time. He bought the Sig Sauer P226 .40-caliber handgun about 20 years ago for $500 and didn't have the serial number.
A full evening
at fine dining establishments
Deputies responded to a disturbance at a Beaver Creek restaurant Dec. 30.
A 47-year-old man in a Minnesota Vikings jersey was extremely intoxicated and was reportedly throwing chairs at the restaurant.
Security guards told the officers that the incident started after the man sat down at a booth with three strangers and started eating their food without permission. The patrons confirmed the story but didn't want to press charges. Deputies noted the food on the floor was consistent with their story.
It came to light that the suspect caused problems at another restaurant before then. He allegedly threw an orange at a woman, yelled obscenities, made lewd comments to a woman with a child as he was escorted outside and then tried to fight with restaurant employees. The employees called security but the man walked off before officers arrived.
The man denied any wrongdoing. He said he went into the first restaurant because two employees there were former tenants of his and they owed him money.
He was cited for disorderly conduct and escorted off Beaver Creek property.
Wrecked his holiday
A deputy saw a pickup truck that slid off eastbound Interstate 70 near Wolcott at 3 a.m. Jan. 1.
As the officer approached, he saw the truck was moving, trying to get back on the highway. The car had apparently gone through a wildlife fence. It had front-end damage and a rear tire had come off the wheel.
The driver saw the deputy coming and ran across the interstate to get away. Other deputies chased the suspect while the first officer investigated the wreck.
The cab smelled of alcohol and marijuana. An intoxicated woman was in the passenger seat, confused about where she was. The deputy asked her if there was marijuana in the car. The woman said there was an ounce in the man's jacket and handed him the coat. She was looking for her cell phone but couldn't find it. The deputy helped her out of the truck and put her in a patrol car to stay warm.
The woman said she and the man partied in Beaver Creek and were staying at a hotel in Eagle. They got into a fight and decided to go home to Broomfield. The deputy asked if there had been any domestic violence. The woman said she didn't want to get the man in trouble. The officer arranged for the woman to go back to the hotel for the night.
The 36-year-old man was arrested and taken to the hospital before going to jail. He threatened officers and tried to bribe them. He offered one $200 and another $1,000 to let him go. He also broke hospital equipment and refused a chemical test. At the jail, deputies found two cell phones in his possession.
He was booked for driving under the influence of alcohol, walking on the highway while intoxicated, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, criminal mischief and attempting to influence a public servant.
Miscellaneous mischief
• A resident of Rawhide Road in Edwards told deputies Dec. 27 that someone might have tried to break into his house. An unknown set of footprints led around the side of the house and the back door handle was broken. Unknown tire tracks were also in the driveway. Deputies said they would increase patrols in the area.
• On Dec. 30, a Gypsum resident discovered that both driver's side tires on his car were slashed. There was a 1-inch slice in both tires, which were worth $400 each.
• A 27-year-old man was cited for theft in Beaver Creek on Dec. 30 for using a ski pass tha

The National Weather Service in Binghamton has issued a flash flood watch for several New York counties including Yates County.
This comes almost two months after devastating floods ripped through Penn Yan, causing thousands of dollars worth of damage to many homes and businesses.
The NWS says a slow-moving cold front will interact with warm humid air over Central New York and northeast Pennsylvania, causing showers and thunderstorms to develop this afternoon that will continue into the evening. Thunderstorms with heavy rain could drop one to two inches of rain in less than an hour.
A flash flood watch means that conditions may develop that lead to flash flooding. Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation.
The watch is in effect from 12 p.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday.

Liverpool Message Board
If YOU were Brendan Rodgers..
The point of this is to think exactly as if you were Brendan Rodgers, right now, today, the manager of Liverpool, and not you, or what you would do from your thoughts / heart..
This saga drags out into mid-late July, and he's made it abundantly clear he desparately wants to leave, what do you (Brendan Rodgers, not your heart) do?
You know there aren't an abundance of strikers out there in the market of that type of quality, never are, BUT there are ones you like very much as an admirer such as: Leandro Damiao, Gonzalo Higuain, Christian Benteke, Alexis Sanchez, Robert Lewandowski (Polish POWER!!), all of whom are very good goal scorers, young, established, and have competed at the highest levels, as well as being affordable and having the option to use the other money on a top class attacking midfielder or wide player, and another CDM or CB, do you really just drag your fee through the sand, begging and pleading him to stay?
Do you ignore those players, who all have their current situations in doubt, w/ rumored moves across the board, risk missing every single one of them, and risk getting to the point of being caught in a rock and hard place? This is play Russian Roullette here..
2 top players are better than one, and while he's spectacularly brilliant on his day, you can presumably add 40 goals to compensate for his 23. Granted he Champions League comes into play, so substiute any names you like, Damiao who wants to play in the EPL ..
In the movie 127 hours, James Franco has his arm pinned between a rock, and cuts it off to survive.. Do you cut off your arm now and replace it, or risk going on into late July with 1 arm? (Think Tevez golfing in Argentina mid season while being a City player in protest) I could see Luis doing something like that..
Devils Advocate.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
He has a nasty situation to deal with, no doubt. Liverpool have said a number of times 'he is not for sale', if he doesnt put a transfer request in, which he hasn't as yet, then the bids are somewhat irrelevant. Incidentally, nobody has bid yet, so there is no problem, Real Madrid haven't exactly highlighted him as a priority, whilst he is basically on his knees in front of them with lipstick on and his t1t5 hanging out.
Now, assuming the transfer request comes and then too the bid from Real, then I would sell him for anything around that £45m mark, we wont see the best of him next year if we keep him after his ridiculous outbursts. As Dave etc, said below, perhaps we need to have a face to face with him, hell, why not fly to Brazil and speak to the little git there?
We will not likely be able to get a player as good as him back in (after all, he is probably top 5 on the planet) but we should get 2 really strong players that could become collectively better. Anybody be too upset if we ended up with Mario Gomez and Toby Alderweireld with plenty of change from his sale fee?

How about a swap deal Cavani for Suarez?
Jason IO issue statements to the press that my preference is to retain the services of Louis Suarez at all costs then sit back and wait for advances from interested clubs before issuing another statement to the effect that I very reluctantly accept that I may have to accept that Louis Suarez still wishes to leave the club then wait as te interested parties PSG REAL MADRID MONACO JUVE BAYERN maybe City start to circle in the hope of snaring his signature on a contract with them..then start to push for top price while eyeing the top striker talent out there that will compliment my style of play . Sound like a plan ? I basically would like to see Suarez sstay and tough it out withthe hope of redemming himself via outstanding play next season and an impeccably polite attitude toward all both on and off the pitch but that s not what u asked for..so I gave u what I would do were i BR.
dsteer_lfc_68 dsteer_lfc_68 Jun 13, 2013 23:18 Flag
I assume your talking abut the Suarez situation, so I'll expand on what I've already posted.
First off it may go without saying I'm glad I'm not BR. However BR does have some advantages. First off he knows the man as he's spent almost everyday of the last year with him. So he's not relying on what is being printed in the press, but first hand information.
Therefore my first move would be to get the facts. Maybe he already knows them, but if not he either waits till Luis is back at Melwood, or he books a flight to whatever beach Suarez is sitting on right now. He then speaks to him directly. He's fluent in Spanish, knows the man so basis the decision on real information, not via the filter of the press or agents.
It's then really a simple process. If Suarez wants to stay ( or can be convinced to stay) he stays, if not, we sell for the highest amount we can get, and do it sooner rather than later.

DSeer's right. See what the real situation is, which I'm sure he knows already.
After that, if the press are right then we play hard ball for the right fee. I don't want him anywhere near Anfield if he continues to play up, no matter how good he is. Sell now, get the fee and work on getting the squad up to level. There are strikers out there, believe me.
Dave like u post ...defo with uon speaking face to face..and also if to be sold sooner rather than later and of course for the highest possible amount..I have this sneaking suspicion that there might not be a rush for hois signature as other clubs mùay be wary of his erratic nature and so just maybe he will be with us next season..which I WOULDNT BE IN ANY WAY DISPLEASED ABOUT.

...science fiction lacks anyone with an Oulipo-streak. Imagine a collection of short stories each 7,499 words. By definition, they would not be novelettes; but what if they were paced like novelettes? What if two of them were interconnected—same characters, different times—would they now be a 14,998-word novelette? Would three be a 22,497-word novella? Six a 44,994-word novel?We here at Mumpsimus Central are fans of many different sorts of streaks, including any Oulipian ones, and I'm sure we're not alone. Perhaps some of you out there will take John's statement as a fun challenge...

Actually, it's not nearly as cut-and-dried as some people looking at the 7,500-word boundary between Short Story and Novelette seem to think it is. You're overlooking the WSFS Constitution rule about the wiggle room in the written fiction categories:ReplyDelete
3.2.9: The Worldcon Committee may relocate a story into a more appropriate category if it feels that it is necessary, provided that the length of the story is within the lesser of five thousand (5,000) words or twenty percent (20%) of the new category limits.
So in fact anything up to 9000 words could be a short story, and works as short as 6000 words could be considered novelettes.
This wiggle room is intentional, and generally deals with the difficulty of defining a "word" and also with the fact that works on the boundaries can be considered to be either type, with the difference mainly being one of taste, or where the author or publisher said it belonged.
And if the voters were to mostly nominate a 7499-word work as a novelette, I expect the Hugo Administrator would treat it as one.
Not that Geoff Ryman's 253 is sf, but surely it deserves a mention in this context?ReplyDelete
I will accept this challenge, though it may take me a few years to get there. Working on one novel, and got another planned, but I also have an idea for a story-suite/mosaic novel type of thing, and this would fit perfectly.ReplyDelete
One flaw in Holbo's logic other than the 20% rule cited above, is that the Hugo people (as well as editors and publishers) will round up. 7499 words technically is still a short story, but with all the ways that words can be counted in a ms., "about 7500 words" is probably as accurate as you can get.
And even though Geoff wasn't (I think) going for OULIPO gaminess with 253, I'd agree with Johan that it certain fits in the category; he restricted himself wordwise, pagewise, and characterwise, all using the number 253, which I think the OULIPOists would have dug.
Novelette? Not come across this term before. Ah, so much to learn...ReplyDelete
not enough people have read 26LIES, obviously.ReplyDelete
Another "technical" issue: who the hell cares about the Hugo rules?ReplyDelete
I wasn't aware that Worldcon is now a sub-division of the Department of Weights and Measures.
Under My Roof is 39,000 words and change, and it's a novel, dammit. You all can blow me till the propellers on your beanies spin!

Hugo Award administrators and people whose works are candidates for Hugo Awards. I'm surprised someone would have to point that out to you.
I wasn't aware that Worldcon is now a sub-division of the Department of Weights and Measures.
It's not. Neither are you. But the Worldcon isn't trying to define "novel" for all places and all times and all conditions. It's trying to define them for the purpose of presenting the Hugo Award for Best Novel, which is a much narrower scope.
The Hugo Award is presented by the World Science Fiction Society. WSFS is allowed to set its own rules for its own awards. You of course can participate by joining WSFS and campaigning for such changes as you think appropriate. (Anyone can join WSFS by joining the current Worldcon.)
Under My Roof is 39,000 words and change, and it's a novel, dammit. You all can blow me till the propellers on your beanies spin!
Well, works like that are why WSFS includes the wiggle-room provision. If the voters consider something to be a novel and it's more than 35,000 words long, and enough people nominate it, then it's a novel.
Actually, you seem to be the one doing the hair-splitting. WSFS is aware that the boundaries are fuzzy between works. Therefore, there's sufficiently leeway that a work that sits on a boundary can go either way.
Let's put it another way: By your tone -- I admit that I may be misreading it -- you seem to consider your own definitions to be particularly privileged. How would you define a "novel" in a technical way for the purpose of defining an award category?
Sorry Kevin, I'm going to have to insist that you communicate with me as a human being, not as a Defender of the Faith.ReplyDelete
I was responding to a post, which quoted another post, which read, in part:
...science fiction lacks anyone with an Oulipo-streak. Imagine a collection of short stories each 7,499 words. By definition, they would not be novelettes; but what if they were paced like novelettes?
The point I made, and which you quoted, is that Worldcon does not provide any "definition" of, say, the word novelette.
Go to a doctor at your nervous twitch. The frantic knee-jerking can't be healthy.
Sorry Kevin, I'm going to have to insist that you communicate with me as a human being, not as a Defender of the Faith.ReplyDelete
So should I take it that the distinction is that as a "human being," I would automatically agree with you, but as a mere "Defender of the Faith," I would not?
I answered your questions. Pity you couldn't be troubled to answer mine.

actually, aren't some science fiction and fantasy writers already producing works according to what could be construed as an OuLiPo-ian constraint? i'm thinking of the shared world novels that so many commentators like to put down. think about it: from what i've read, the constraints imposed by lucas industries (or whatever it's called) on writers who produce the star wars stories and novels can be pretty brutal, as brutal as the mathematical, musical, onomastic, and other constraints OuLiPo members impose on themselves. of course, it might be that last statement which highlights the difference: OuLiPo writers take the constraints as a (self-imposed) challenge, rather than as part of a contract. nor are they sure they'll get any money for what they produce. some have been luckier than others (roubaud comes immediately to mind). others produce curious texts, but is it really literature? does anyone really want to read it? i'd also add that some stories by jack vance (to mention the first writer that comes to mind), as enjoyable as they are (whoops, self-contradiction?) read as if they were obeying some kind of OuLiPo-ian constraint.ReplyDelete

Looking for People and Answers
Thanks Jeff, for the welcome.
Hi Jeff;
Yes & since I asked to join, we found out he is in prison in Dubai for taking photos in a restricted area. We were in touch with the Embassy who located him for us. He is an architect by trade (now a motivational speaker) who travels all over the world speaking.
He loves walking & taking pictures, esp. of interesting, architecturally, buildings. We know need to find how to get him released.
Happy New Year to you and your family!
Bob skippered the boat I was on in Sicily a couple of years ago. Nice guy. I'm so sorry to hear about his disappearance.
Got a message from Stacey who is no longer a member. Why, is she legitimate?
Sure! Happy to help others because I will never forget that empty and helpless feeling.
Hi Jeff, Thanks for the warm welcome. :)
Hi Jeff, read my blog post when you get a chance.
No good news for me. It appears this nightmare will never end.
Hello Jeff,
I was thinking of you and your family this past Mother's Day. It was three years ago your brother was lost at sea. our prayers go out to you and your family. Kent and Cindy
Hey Jeff, got an NJ phone; technical difficulties with old one. I was up North; back in Middlesex. give me a holler or text at 732-692-3694. Have a cup of coffee and discuss actioin items for MAP.
I live in Alabama and Natalie Holloway was a big deal, but I didn't realize the extent of this problem until researching it after seeing Gone about Aeryn Gillern. I was outraged by his story as a mother myself and was so angry with the treatment his case and mother got by the Austrian officials. I want to do something to raise awareness. I am looking into awareness ribbons, is red or green the color for the ribbon?
Hey Jeff,
I was just hoping on your next webpage update you could put a share on Facebook link. I can't really comment at the sadness that goes on and on, but maybe we could get the word out a little more on Facebook. Hats off to your work.
I would like to post my information regarding my Search and Rescue Tean on your resource list but I don't know how. Can you tell me how.
Thank you

ere are so much easier healthier ways to get everything this article says we need. If you don't like fish or the fresh salmon is pricey, China seeds are great substitute for that as well as blueberries. Then in place of beans, which has not that much fiber and most people don't care forthem, you could use fiber 1 cereal which is great in yogurts or smoothies. Other are other cheaper/faster ways to get your antioxidants and then some. This article is so basic and it seems most people here are educated in that. Especially when Dr. Oz has a faithful following.

PHOENIX — The Oakland A's and the City of Mesa have finalized a deal that will have the A's moving to HoHoKam Park in Mesa in 2015 for a run of at least 20 years.
The deal struck is for a base of 20 years with a pair of five-year options that could extend the deal to three decades.
The A's will play their games at HoHoKam, which will be undergoing renovations in 2014 after the Chicago Cubs move out, and Oakland will have a complex of four workout fields at nearby Fitch Park, which is also undergoing a face lift.
"We are extremely excited about our future spring home,'' A's managing general partner Lew Wolff said in a statement. "With the improvements planned over the next two years, we believe HoHoKam Stadium and surrounding facilities will rival any in Major League Baseball."
The Mesa City Council approved the deal Monday night, the agreement calling for $20 million in renovations, $17.5 million coming from the city and $2.5 million coming from the A's. Mesa will have part of its cost defrayed by a funding contribution from the Arizona Sports and Tourism authority totaling $8.2 million.
The A's were the original tenants at HoHoKam and trained there from 1969-78. They then spent three years in Scottsdale before moving to Phoenix Municipal Stadium in 1982.
Mesa is building a new facility for the Cubs that will be called Mesa Riverview and will be ready to go for the spring of 2014.

Big museum job
Massive crane used to replace huge skylight at Campus Martius
February 15, 2013
The installation of a custom-made skylight began Thursday at the Campus Martius Museum in Marietta, replacing the approximately 80-plus-year-old fixture destroyed in last year's derecho wind storm....
Local people always overbid on these jobs and the people get mad when an outsider comes in.

Campus Martius is a first class museum. I hope our area residents visit and see what it's all about.
0 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
The artical states that the funds for this project did not come from local funding. It reads... The local Friends of the Museums organization manages Campus Martius and the Ohio River Museum, but the historical society owns the buildings. The $44,500 cost of the skylight will not come from local funds, Smith said. It also states that many improvements were made to the new skylight to insure that it will last much longer than the orignal skylight while preserving its historic intergrity. I think it was very nice for the OHS and associates to invest their time and funds into preserving the history of our state.

Statements in this story make me laugh. The old flimsy one lasted 80+ years and the new high tech $44,500 will last 80 to 100 years. Must be a huge improvement over the original flimsy one! Just more wasted money. Couldn't get anyone local to make another flimsy one and replace it after 50 years I guess.

SANTA CLARA -- Wilcox unveiled new black uniforms and helmets Friday night for a season opener originally scheduled for the $1.3 billion Levi's Stadium.
Back on their home field instead because of sod issues at the 49ers' new home, the Chargers put a bolt of electricity into the game's first few minutes, scoring a touchdown on Eduardo Andrade's blocked punt and recovery in the end zone for an early lead.
But Manteca seized control later in the half behind its grinding ground attack and held off Wilcox for a 20-14 victory, a triumph that avenged an overtime loss to the Chargers in the Central Valley last season.
Andrade blocked another punt in the third quarter that gave Wilcox the ball at the Manteca 1. Matt Alquetra's 1-yard run and a 2-point conversion pass on a busted play pulled the Chargers to within six.
Wilcox had opportunities down the stretch, but couldn't get closer.
"You can't turn the football over in a big ballgame," Wilcox coach Dan Brown said, "We didn't take of the football. We're young and we're going to get better as we go. But what a good high school football game. Great way to open up the season. Had a chance there and it kind of slipped away. "
Wilcox entered the new season without many of the playmakers who led the team to the Central Coast Section Open Division playoffs last season, and the offense struggled to find its footing against an opponent that played for a Northern California regional championship in 2013.
But as Wilcox struggled to move the ball with any consistency, Manteca quickly showed that it could pound out yards behind a rushing offense led by 5-foot-6, 179-pound Hector Soto.
Soto scored two touchdowns in the first half, the first on a 13-yard, fourth-down run that gave Manteca a 7-6 lead after one quarter.
The senior later scored on a 1-yard run, set up by a 14-yard burst by quarterback Dakarai Charles.
"They were kind of just isolating us, and he would cut off the center and noseguard block, finding a little crease," Brown said of Soto. "They were patient. We knew what we getting into. If we can play with that team, we can play with anybody."
A Wilcox turnover just before halftime set up another touchdown that put Manteca in front 20-6 at the break.
But just when it seemed as if Wilcox might be in deep trouble, Andrade came to the rescue.
"He was our frosh-soph quarterback last year, just a great athlete," Brown said. "He's a football player, a tough kid, wants to be on the field. He played outstanding tonight."
Andrade didn't accept all the credit for his blocks.
"I couldn't have done it without the great support of my D-line," he said. "The only reason I blasted through is because they gave the initial impact to make all the players bite up. That gave me the opportunity to go up and make the block. It's all a team effort."
Andrade paused after the first block and then chased after the ball in the end zone.
"I didn't know what was happening," he said. "I heard everybody yelling, and I turned around and saw the ball in the end zone. I ran up to it and grabbed it. I did all I could for this team. At the end of the day, we all put all we had on the field."
And they fell just short.

Right about now, my inbox starts to fill up with inquiries about seminary.
Here's what I usually tell people who are in the seminary discernment process. It's true what they say: What you get out of seminary depends mostly on what you put into it. There are superb faculty—and superb students—in every seminary in the country.
By Kenda Creasy Dean
Discernment has more to do with fit. Don't narrow the field too quickly; there are practical issues, such as GPA and finances, which must be considered midway through the process, but start by casting a wide net. You never know when God might show up and part the waters.
Still discerning the next faithful step? Here are questions and tips to help you see if seminary is in your future. Vaya con Dios!
The Big Question:
Most ministry doesn't require a theological degree, so ask yourself why you want to get one. In the end, there is one—and only one—good reason to go to seminary: because God won't leave you alone until you do.
Preliminary Questions: What to ask before you hunt for schools

Deal-Breaker Questions to Ask Yourself:
Because if your spouse isn't happy, nobody's happy.

2000 Vermont Sheep and Wool Festival
Photo Album
Yarn Highlights
There were so many vendors at the show that I couldn't possibly profile them all here. These two -- Ellen's 1/2 Pint Farm and Mostly Merino -- ended up being my favorites.
|It was a great pleasure to meet Ellen
Minard, the spinner, dyer, knitter, and farmer behind Ellen's 1/2 Pint Farm in
Norwich, Vermont. I'd read about her in Candace Eisner Strick's Sweaters from New England Sheep Farms.
She may have gotten a great write-up in Stick's book, but she hasn't let it go to her head. She's a friendly, approachable woman with a surprising eye for color. Meeting her in person made viewing her yarns that much more meaningful, because I could see a direct correlation between her personality and her yarns. Both are exuberant but refreshingly down to earth.
Her alpaca and mohair yarns are particularly exquisite, both in terms of texture and color. Ellen kindly gave me a skein of space-dyed mohair, which I'll review shortly.
If you'd like samples or color cards of Ellen's yarns, you can email Ellen at email@example.com or call 802-649-5420.
|Margaret Klein Wilson's Mostly
Merino yarns immediately caught my eye, partly because of the
beautifully designed sweaters she was displaying and partly because of
the vibrant, rich, and earthy colors that she blends and dyes herself.
As with Ellen, Margaret's yarns also clearly reflect her personality:
intellectually stimulating yet deeply grounded in the simple beauty of
Margaret loves her yarn so much that she actually lives in it. Apparently one freezing winter night several years ago, she'd come indoors after being in the barn with her animals. "I had layers upon layers of clothes on," she explained, "yet I positively could not get warm. Finally, in desperation, I took everything off but the sweater, and that did it. To this day I still sleep in my merino."
Margaret also gave me a skein of her merino/mohair signature yarn, which I'll review this month.
For samples, color cards, or any extra information, you can email Margaret at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 802-254-7436.
