CQC tells ambulance service to address Norfolk and Suffolk rural response times
PUBLISHED: 19:32 28 May 2012
Archant Norfolk Photographic © 2009
The region's ambulance service has been told it must address the challenges it faces in responding quickly in very rural areas of Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire.
The Care Quality Commission inspected the East of England Ambulance Service and said it also needed to improve turnaround times at hospitals, in particular at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, as delays at hospitals of more than 60 minutes were having an impact on response times.
The CQC's report found the trust to be compliant in all areas it inspected, despite acknowledging that the service is not meeting key performance standards in relation to response times. The report said there are large variations in geographical areas, with Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire all areas suffering from under performance in the most urgent eight-minute response target and also for the target to provide a back-up ambulance for transport within 19 minutes.
However, the inspectors recognised that the service had only limited control over certain aspects of its own performance, and had "taken satisfactory measures to address the shortfalls within the areas of its control".
The report said: "Ambulance staff we spoke with identified Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust as being particularly bad and one paramedic told us he had seen as many as 12 ambulances queuing outside the hospital. Another paramedic told us of a man with chest pains he had attended to having to wait 30 minutes for an ambulance and then waited an hour and a half at Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust."
A spokeswoman for the service said: "We are delighted to have received a fully compliant report. As with any comprehensive inspection points have been raised but the CQC clearly recognises that we are working very hard on all those within our control. This is a reflection of the commitment of our staff, managers and volunteers in all areas of the trust. We're already looking at what we can do now to make further progress and working to build on the care we provide to our patients.
"We know that hospital turnaround times are an issue and we continue to work with our partners to address this."
Anna Dugdale, chief executive at the N&N, said: "Our hospital covers a large rural area with an elderly population and we have a larger proportion of emergency admissions than other trusts.
"We are working hand in hand with the ambulance trust to make those transfers as smooth as possible, reducing turnaround times and managing the risk presented by peaks in demand with the ambulance trust and other members of the health and social care community."
North Norfolk MP Norman Lamb said: "Our concerns about response times in rural areas have been endorsed by the CQC and the reason why I wrote to the CQC asking them to investigate was because I felt the situation in rural areas isn't acceptable.
"I do think there is a clear link between response times in Norfolk and what's happening at the N&N.
"It's got to be a priority for the ambulance trust and hospital trust to work together very urgently on this issue as having professional people spend an hour at a hospital when they could be out on the next job is wasting a valuable resource and we are talking about potential life and death situations."

dorkoona and the goddess isis
dear calgary airport,
you are a hot friggin mess.
love, oona.
after a whole lotta back and forth and crazy work scheduling on my end, the lovely and fascinating tanit-isis and i had a wee 45 minutes in calgary's airport on the day i flew home. i don't have to tell you how paltry that amount of time was. she found me at the air canada kiosk, ferociously punching buttons on the touch screen and shoving passports into the scanner. after repeating "i can't believe you're standing in front of me" enough to sound like rainman, i calmed down, we left ruggy in the customs line, and grabbed some tim hortons tea (the coffee is rumored to have MSG in it. fascinating). we fired off questions at each other in a race against time, lamenting the fabric depot just minutes away.
in rare meetings of international sewing minds like this, priority one is le ensemble. what did miss isis wear?
sha-BLAOW. you would not believe the absolute perfection of stitching going on here. um, do you see those fabulous tights? and i didn't even get a shot of the coat of dreams! you guys, that coat is ridonkulous. it lay casually draped over the chair, softly gleaming, my hands twitching, evil oona on my shoulder scheming how to get it into the suitcase. mais, isis is wise. she brought gifts to distract me. only, like, the most insane print i've ever seen. and, surely due to her goddess powers of psychic precognition, something for ruggy as well.
good thing. when we were done with our tea, we strolled over to the customs line to find ruggy searching for us in a panic. apparently there were big goings on in calgary that day. the line that looked about 15 feet long turned into a snaking disneyland horror once you rounded the bend. he had spent 45 minutes in it, only to be told he couldn't go through customs without wifey. actually, it worked out GREAT for me. he did all the waiting and raced us through to the front, blocking TSA agents left and right like hines ward. thanks babe! you rock! hope your blood pressure's chilled!
god was i a princess that day. ruggy did all the work and i got all the goodies. and what did i have to give? NOTHING. i didn't even have something oonamade to wear! that's a target top up there. avec bad bra. total fail. however, it's probably for the best that i didn't know about our proximity till we were already on canadian soil sans outfit. my sewing skills pale in comparison, and as i don't like to pale in anything, it would have come to UFC blows in the departures lounge. judging from tanit's all around awesomeness, i think it would have been a really good fight. i probably would have worn my bombshell dress. come to think of it, that number might've helped us get through customs quicker. but, i'd be all bloody and bruised from the kicking and punching. six of one, half dozen of the other.
did that happen? did i really meet tanit-isis wearing a pajama top and american eagle jeans? isis, use your psychic powers to get you to the new york meetup! we will get many pictures in many outfits! i promise not to resort to jealousy induced violence!
14 comments:
Oona TOTALLY got better pictures than me. WAY! Yay! I look elegant instead of spaztastic. I felt pretty spaztastic.
Oona, don't you know that the only appropriate way for seamstresses to duel is via fashion show? Or, possibly, photo-shoot? (And we all know your photo-shoot powers vastly exceed mine)
I shall now devote my considerable (?) divine powers to accumulating NYC-visiting funds... wish me luck :P
word verification: wings
Even the internet is trying to tell me something... >_<
i thankya truly for taking the time to comment, i love a good conversation-- and hope you know my thanks are always implied, if not always written!

text: New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly will join family members in honoring Department members for their heroic acts of courage during the NYPD's Medal Day 2003 ceremony on Friday, January 17, at 11:30 a.m. The event will take place at the Winter Garden at the World Financial Center.Three Medals of Honor, the Department's highest award, will be presented. Detective Patrick McGee, Detective Scott Strauss and Police Officer Judith Hernandez will receive the medals in recognition of their heroism during the attack on the World Trade Center. When the south tower collapsed, Hernandez and her partners were in the sub-levels directing people to safety. One of her partners was severely wounded. She single-handedly carried him up two flights of stairs to safety. McGee and Strauss arrived after the towers fell, and when they heard reports that two officers were trapped in the rubble, they disregarded their own safety and plunged into the wreckage to find them. After three hours, they found the officers, cleared the rubble, and pulled them to safety.The NYPD's first Medal of Honor was awarded in 1871. Since then the Department has also recognized extraordinary performance of duty by presenting officers with two other awards: the Police Combat Cross and the Medal of Valor. This year, 27 officers will be awarded the Police Combat Cross, the Department's second-highest honor, which recognizes courage and heroism during personal combat with an armed adversary. In addition, 54 officers will be awarded the Medal of Valor, the Department's third-highest honor, which recognizes personal bravery in the face of imminently dangerous or life-threatening situations. Eight commands will also be awarded Unit Citations. MEDIAAll properly credentialed media must arrive between 9 a.m and 10:30 a.m. and enter the building at the rear. Parking will be available on North End Avenue south of Vessey Street to the dead end. All regular parking rules will be in effect. Parking and seating will be on a first-come-first-served basis. WHAT: MAYOR BLOOMBERG AND COMMISSIONER KELLY TO HONOR NYPD MEMBERS AT MEDAL DAY 2003 CEREMONYWHEN: FRIDAY, JANUARY 17, AT 11:30 A.M.WHERE: WINTER GARDEN - - WORLD FINANCIAL CENTER

Reviews for Chocolate Chip Toffee Bars
"giuffrida, you and nancy are both reading the recipe wrong. It says to put 1-1/2 cups of chocolate chips inside and then it says to set aside 1-1/2 cups of the mixture for topping."
"These bars were so moist and sweet! I love them, keep going back for more! I didnt have any almonds on hand so i used walnuts and pecans and i also baked them for a few minutes less than called for. They turned out perfect :)"
"This recipe came off the top of a can of sweetened condensed milk. At least, that's where I got the recipe several years ago. They are delicious - and I've never made them with anything other than walnuts. Oh, and to make them even better, use chopped up Symphony with toffee candy bars. I use that instead of chocolate chips. Fantastic!"
"The recipe is NOT wrong. They are telling you to set aside 1 1/2 cups of the crust mixture( flour, brown sugar, chips, etc) for putting on top, not to set aside 1/2 cups of chips. I used pecans and it was fabulous."
"The recipe is not wrong...take it step by step."
"badkitty, Nancy is right. The recipe says to put 1-1/2 cups of choc chips inside & 1-1/2 on top. They made a mistake. If it is calling for 2 cups of choc chips it should read 1 cup to put in the batter & 1 cup for topping."
"The instructions are misleading. If I hadn't read what other people said I would never have gotten this right. Please re-word and clarify that whole 1-1/2 cup thing."
"Ok as far as the whole 1- 1/2 cup issue. It says.... Mix almonds (which is 1 cup) and chocolate chips (which is 2 cups) together. Then you take half of the mixture(which is 1 1/2 cups) and put it inside mix. Set remaining mixture aside(which is 1 1/2 cups) for the topping. Which would total the 3 cups from the almonds and chocolate chips. This is a very yummy dessert! cant get enough! :)"
"Oh it was splendid. It made me happy."
"Clarify: set 1-1/2 cups mixture aside to use as topping; then follow directions from there on.
This is a quick and easy recipe. Doubled nicely as well in a larger commercial lasagna pan.""The recipe is wrong, how can you have 1 1/2 cups of choc chips inside and 1 1/2 cups on top when you only need 2 cups. Please fix recipe. I an cooking it now it smells good. I only put 1/2 cup of choc chips on the top."

Addison's Oktoberfest Draws Professional Drinkers, Lame Beer, and Great Eats
I stopped by the Addison Oktoberfest this Saturday, arriving just past noon to a rising thermometer and an already swelling crowd. I was expecting a sizable event, but nothing like this. With all the food venders representing local Bavarian and German cooking, tents selling decent art, bad art, chicken hats, beer steins and lederhosen, and carnival rides, you could get lost for hours before you even started drinking.
Screw that, though. I had my first beer 4 minutes and 28 seconds after entering the gate.
By 1 p.m. there were already some amateurs unable to support their beer steins, walking with slacked wrists as beer sloshed about and quenched the dry grass under their feet. And by 3 I was feeling like a rookie myself, bloated with doner kebap, potato pancakes and ready for a nap. I left early to take in a museum with family I had in town, but other Observer staffers stayed much later, and reported that lines stayed manageable throughout the entire event.
While people were obviously drunk, it was a laid back and easy going crowd; no drunken high fives here.
The food in the main tent was all rather boring, catered hotel fare, but the little guys did a good job outside. Doner Kebap, potato pancakes, killer strudel, and weird potato chip nacho venders all did brisk business. A stand selling skillet potatoes bathed the entire food area in a blanket of simmering potato pepper and onion aromas. By evening their line was significantly longer than the competition's.
While I'm still assimilating to Dallas from my long-time home in DC, I was really impressed with the event. This city is certainly behind the curve in certain areas -- cocktails and farm-to-table cooking come to mind -- but I can say this for sure: the metroplex kicks the District's ass, and other cities' too, when it comes to Oktoberfest.
Still, I'm paid to bitch about things, so I'm inclined to point out a rather lackluster beer selection. Spaten and Franziskaner sponsored the event and dominated the offerings. I would have liked to see some smaller German breweries represented. And local beer was completely absent. I know the folks at Rahr have a decent Oktoberfest at some area restaurants. They should have had a tent here as well. And try as I might, I never found a plate of bratwurst and sauerkraut. Sad for me.
Now, some of the food:
Selim's Doner Kebap House offered four different meatsicles. |
While this guy prepared your doner he yelled a phrase at you that had at least 14 syllables. When I asked what he was saying, he replied: kebap. |
Chicken gyro ... not too great |
These potatoes started off looking wonderful, fresh cut and deep fried. Then they brought out bad cheese sauce and bacon bits. |
This was a much better use of potatoes: a pancake with pork, onions and apples was my favorite dish at the event. |

Organic Finnska Soft LicoriceI'm still in a licorice mood and have been feeling more like "eating licorice" as it's called. This means it's soft and chewy and not too harsh. I got a wonderful full sized sample of the Soft Licorice from Finnska at the All Candy Expo in September from the Gerrit J. Verburg Co. It's just what I needed. I found the package charming, though every time I looked at it I wondered what an ostrich would be doing on a Viking ship. The little twist are soft, perhaps a little sticky. They're pure black and a bit glossy. They don't smell like much, a little earthy, a little smoky. They're not super sweet, not very licorice-y either. In fact, there's no molasses in there, which is one of the flavors I'm accustomed to in my wheat-based licorice chew. It's also really low in calories. It took me about a half a dozen of them before I figured out what they taste like. Beets. (Maybe beets baked in Ouzo.) I know, it sounds horrible. But it's great. It's sweet and woodsy and a little bit like dirt or roots. It doesn't feel cloying or sticky. It's good munching candy. I've eaten the whole box. It's rather different from Panda, which has a doughy texture to it sometimes and stronger anise and molasses tones. This particular Finnska is also organic! Related Candies

Mughal Emperor Akbar the Great was a mere thirteen years of age when he ascended the throne. While still a relatively young Emperor, he commissioned the construction of a new capital, known as Fatehpur Sikri. The buildings, a fusion of Islamic, Hindu and Jain architecture, reflect the Great Emperor's beliefs of universal religious tolerance. It was under his rule that the Islamic jizya tax was revoked for non-Muslims and a new faith called the Din-i-Ilahi (Faith of the Divine) was created by him in an attempt to bring the diverse religions of the Mughal Empire together. To this day, only 18 people are said to have belonged to this faith, but one cannot help but admire Emperor Akbar for trying to unify his peoples.Read More

An advocate of sexual egalitarianism, she was the first female monarch to rule over the Sassanian Empire.

Andrew McCarthy
Andrew McCarthy shot to stardom as a member of the Brat Pack, a group of young actors who appeared together in such 1980s films as Less than Zero and Pretty in Pink. He has starred in over two dozen movies, acted in numerous TV shows, and appeared on Broadway as well.
Career Breakthrough
McCarthy was born in Westfield, New Jersey, in 1962. When he was 19, he landed his breakout film role in Class, which also marked the debut of John Cusack. As McCarthy's career grew, he was lumped into the group of young Hollywood actors known as the "Brat Pack," a term coined in 1985 after the release of St. Elmo's Fire. The Brat Pack also included Molly Ringwald, Rob Lowe, Demi Moore, among others.
McCarthy's better-known works include St. Elmo's Fire (1985) and Pretty in Pink (1986). In 1985, McCarthy starred with Donald Sutherland and Kevin Dillon in Heaven Help Us, and that same year he made his Broadway debut in The Boys of Winter. In 1987 he hit the big screen with two bona fide box-office successes: Mannequin and Less Than Zero—the latter a theatrical adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis's popular novel, and a film that reached cult status.
After the Brat Pack
After the great success of Andrew McCarthy's previous films, the late 80s were a mixed bag, as he appeared in only three films: the quieter Fresh Horses (again with Molly Ringwald), Kansas (with Matt Dillon), and the unlikely success Weekend at Bernie's, which spawned a 1993 sequel, in which McCarthy also appeared.
For Andrew McCarthy, the 1990s brought a string of mostly under-the-radar films that found moderate success at the box office. Such films as Year of the Gun, Only You, and Getting In came and went with little notice, but other films, in which the actor had supporting roles, such as Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle, The Joy Luck Club, and Mulholland Falls, had both critical and box office appeal.
In the early 1990s, Andrew McCarthy made a serious move into television acting, with his first role coming as a guest star for Tales from the Crypt. While he had previously appeared on TV one time, in 1986's Amazing Stories, the 1990s kept McCarthy quite busy. He appeared in seven TV movies from 1992 to 1998.
The 2000s also kept McCarthy busy on TV, with seven more films and appearances on such TV shows as Law & Order, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, and Law & Order: Criminal Intent. He also had a 20-episode run on Lipstick Jungle.

It brings OS X's dashboard to the iPad. Cool, right? Well, you're not getting it.

There are some rows which, while not of earth-shaking importance in themselves, have the force of a contemporary parable. So it has been with the fuss surrounding the transsexual community, the writers Suzanne Moore and Julie Burchill, the government minister Lynne Featherstone and, possibly cowering under his desk as the battle rages, the editor of the Observer, John Mulholland.
It is a perfect storm, involving the great issues of the moment: the gender debate, online bullying, offensiveness and the limits of tolerance, class, the cult of apology, and politics.
It all started with Suzanne Moore's powerfully written polemic, commissioned for the Waterstone's anthology Red and reprinted in the New Statesman, about the rage of women in today's sexist, recession-hit society. "We are angry with ourselves for not being happier, not being loved properly and not having the ideal body image – that of a Brazilian transsexual," she wrote.
That last throwaway line about transsexuals caused row No 1. Moore was accused of something called "transphobia" (like homophobia but for transsexuals). A public apology was demanded. She was abused on Twitter until she left that particular stage, slamming the door behind her.
Enter Julie Burchill, never one to miss out on a public dust-up. In the Observer on Sunday, she argued that transsexuals telling Moore how to write was like "the Black and White Minstrels telling Usain Bolt how to run". Working-class women writers like Moore and herself, having made their own way in the world without help, were "damned if we are going to be accused of being privileged by a bunch of bed-wetters in bad wigs".
There was more along those lines. The phrase "dicks in chicks' clothing" was used. There was a joke about nuts being cut off. Burchill has never belonged to the Hazlitt/Rees-Mogg school of essayists.
Along came row No 2. A mighty wave of hurt and outrage burst over the internet. Infuriated readers had never encountered anything so bigoted, cruel, insensitive, ignorant and threatening. It was a hate crime, in fact. The Liberal Democrat MP Lynne Featherstone, a minister with perhaps rather too much time on her hands, joined the mob with the demand that Burchill should be sacked. She added that Mulholland should go, too. Now Mulholland has withdrawn the piece.
At one point, an online poll conducted by this newspaper showed that 90 per cent of those who voted thought Burchill had gone too far. Something called The Scottish Transgender Alliance complained of "rising transphobia in the British media".
It is official, then: the world has gone mad. Every stage of this furore has been marked by ridiculous and excessive hysteria and bullying. Moore said nothing wrong in her article. Burchill used her usual knockabout, head-butting prose to make a fair argument: that the transgendered should not demand special privileges over those who were born as women – the "cisgendered" as they are described in the increasingly complex vocabulary of the gender studies phrase book.
Would someone who has had the mental and physical courage to change sex really be upset by the appearance of the phrase "dicks in chicks' clothing" in the press? It seems unlikely. The terms Burchill used may have been insensitive, but had the target of them been more acceptable to liberal opinion – Scientologists, say, or gun-toting American Christians – they would have prompted no more than a few fond chuckles. Good old Julie was at it again.
It is tempting, but wrong, to dismiss this kind of fuss as internet silliness. It matters when a government minister leads a highly emotional internet campaign, the aim of which is to get a writer, and the person who commissioned her, fired.
The offensiveness police are ever more powerful and vigilant, demanding views with which they disagree to be silenced, and individuals of whom they disapprove to be punished. We should be on our guard.
Church-going, royal-style
There have been signs of late that the Royal Family has at last found the ideal couple to take the monarchy through the choppy waters of 21st-century life, a smiling Ken and Barbie in Barbours who will not say the wrong thing, unlike his grandfather, or think too much, unlike his father.
The hilariously bad portrait of the Duchess of Cambridge, the kind of thing commissioned by proud middle-class families all over the country, has managed to capture – perhaps even exaggerate – her sweet blandness.
Prince William, meanwhile, has proved to be a perfect future Defender of the Faith by following the traditional Church of England approach to religion: moderation in all things, particularly belief. The royal couple "rarely, if ever" attend church, according to press reports. Taking a truly British attitude to faith, the Prince and his wife apparently see church as having an important role – at Christmas and on one's wedding day.

The epistle was written by the Apostle Paul (2 Timothy 1:1).
"It was probably written a year or so after the first, and from Rome, where Paul was for a second time a prisoner, and was sent to Timothy by the hands of Tychicus." -Easton's Bible Dictionary (1897)
In this epistle Paul entreats Timothy to come to him before winter, and to bring Mark with him (compare Phil. 2:22). He was anticipating that "the time of his departure was at hand" (2 Timothy 4:6), and he exhorts his "son Timothy" to all diligence and steadfastness in the face of false teachings, with advice about combatting them with reference to the teachings of the past, and to patience under persecution (2 Timothy 1:6-15), and to a faithful discharge of all the duties of his office (2 Timothy 4:1-5), with all the solemnity of one who was about to appear before the Judge of the quick and the dead.

SportsNation Blog Archives Mark Sanchez
Sanchez good fit for Eagles?
It's not an official trade, but it's close to one. Just days after the New York Jets signed former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick, the Eagles have inked ex-Jets QB Mark Sanchez, according to a source. Sanchez's New York career, of course, did not end as it began, with the onetime playoff quarterback relegated to being a punch line. But in Philly the pressure is low -- Nick Foles is the clear-cut No. 1 -- and Chip Kelly has a way with offenses ...
Jets sign Vick, release Sanchez
The Mark Sanchez era has officially ended in New York, with the Jets releasing the embattled quarterback and signing Michael Vick on Friday. Vick said that he expects to compete with Geno Smith for the team's starting job, and given Smith's struggles in his rookie season -- 21 interceptions and a 55.8 completion percentage -- he might get that shot. The choice of starter will be a key decision for Rex Ryan, who looks to be on the hot seat if the Jets miss the playoffs for a fourth straight season.
Mark Sanchez likely done for season
More bad news for Mark Sanchez: It appears the embattled Jets quarterback will require surgery that will force him to miss the entire 2013 season. Sanchez already had been fighting a battle for his starting job (now won by default by Geno Smith), and the news puts his future with the team in doubt. He's had some success as a starter, but with his recent struggles, Sanchez's time as a team's primary option may be over.
Embattled quarterback Mark Sanchez will miss time with an injured shoulder, but given the Jets' moves lately, he might miss more than just a few games. The Jets signed veteran quarterback Brady Quinn as a backup for Geno Smith, who is expected to start in Week 1. If Smith excels -- or, really, if he plays with anything resembling competence -- it might be difficult for the team to justify starting Sanchez when he comes back. The presence of Quinn even could block Sanchez from a backup job, which could mean very bad things for Sanchez's NFL prospects.
Sanchez's future?
Sanchez hadn't been outplayed by Geno Smith in the preseason, but he may have lost the Jets' quarterback battle by default.
Here's a sampling of what readers had to say in our Facebook conversation on the story:
- Jeff Webster: " This is interesting. Brady Quinn (I like the guy) isn't exactly a solid plan B or C. I agree that most teams wouldn't eat 8 million. If they are willing to, that's got to be a blow to anyone's ego. Best case for them is for Geno Smith to start off hot so it will quit being analyzed. He plays well, nobody will second guess the moves under him."
- Matt Baird: "You things are going wrong when people start talking about Brady Quinn taking your job."
- Michael Roberts: "The bottom line is that Sanchez looks like he will never play another down for the Jets, that is a good thing. Mostly everyone wants that. Got my fingers crossed that Geno turns out to be the real deal. Lets hope so and move on to bigger and better things for our team."
- Roberta Mangano: "I've been a Jets fan forever and I believe Sanchez can do much better with a good RB and receiving corp. I hope the jets let him go to a team that needs a good qb so he can show the Jets how good he is and how stupid the Jets are for giving up on him."
- Vince Weaver: "Laugh all you want at Quinn...he's a better qb than Smith or Sanchez."
- Lance Gunnin: "I've never seen a team so screwed up. The JETS are a mess. Why bring in guys AFTER preseason? They are adding and cutting so many guys you have to wonder what all their payouts look like."
Greg M. Cooper/US PresswireAFC East Preview -- 2013
Another year, another New England Patriots romp through the AFC East? Perhaps ... or perhaps things will change, after Bill Belichick, Tom Brady & Co. lost top receivers Wes Welker and Brandon Lloyd, saw Rob Gronkowski struggle through injury, and all involved dealt with the fallout from the shocking Aaron Hernandez situation. Most likely to challenge? Perhaps those Miami Dolphins, who made a big splash in free agency as they aim to emerge from their recent malaise. Speaking of malaise, how about them Jets?

Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a disorder that involves involuntary movements. The movements most often affect the lower face. Tardive means delayed and dyskinesia means abnormal movement.
TD; Tardive syndrome; Orofacial dyskinesia; Involuntary movement - tardive dyskinesia; Antipsychotic drugs - tardive dyskinesia; Neuroleptic drugs - tardive dyskinesia; Schizophrenia - tardive dyskinesia
TD is a serious side effect that occurs when you take medicines called neuroleptics. These drugs are also called antipsychotics or major tranquilizers. They are used to treat mental problems.
TD often occurs when you take the drug for many months or years. In some cases, it occurs after you take them for as little as 6 weeks.
Drugs that most commonly cause this disorder are older antipsychotics, including:
Newer antipsychotics seem less likely to cause TD, but they are not entirely without risk.
Other drugs that can cause TD include:
Symptoms of TD may include:
When TD is diagnosed, the health care provider will either have you stop the medicine or switch to another one.
If TD is mild or moderate, various medicines may be tried. Your provider can tell you more about these.
If TD is very severe, a procedure called deep brain stimulation DBS may be tried. DBS uses a device called a neurostimulator to deliver electrical signals to the areas of the brain that control movement.
If diagnosed early, TD may be reversed by stopping the drug that caused the symptoms. Even if the drug is stopped, the involuntary movements may become permanent, and in some cases, may become worse.

Far Cry 2 PC VGA Graphics performance review -
Far Cry 2 - The prologue
Throw your memory back to the year 2004 and the release of the innovative Far Cry on PC. Developer Crytek managed to fashion one of the most convincing and striking locales in all of gaming, and satisfied gamers with the freedom to pass through the landscape and tackle enemies in almost any way they saw fit. You surely remember Jack Carver and that things where about to get seriously messed up for you ? Well, tough luck. You are no longer at that deserted tropical island yet hop into a jeep and arrive at the sandy savannah surroundings of Africa. And that's a change .. as much as you'll no longer run into any mutants, aliens, or any superpowers or psychic powers. Also -- you are no longer Jack Carver, you assume the role of one of nine different mercenaries who are embedded in the midst of a brutal civil war which rages in a imaginary African nation.
Everything that goes down is involved in a dirty little bush war in central Africa and having to use a rusty AK-47 and whatever bits of scavenged land mine you can duct-tape together. Two factions struggle for supremacy: the United Front for Liberation and Labour and the Alliance for Popular Resistance, and both are known for blood and control.
It's da bombaaaah. You'll like the huge playing area which allows you to snipe a guard from a distance, leaving him injured in the hope that it draws his friends out, or you can barrel a car right through the walls, ploughing into the breakable scenery like a rubbish F1 driver. It's that immersive feel that gives the game that little extra. A full day-night cycle, storms and the sort of sunsets you'd have to spend your life savings to see for real. Aaah, just check it out.
So we took the following graphics cards to include in this VGA performance test:
VGA Cards used |
GeForce 8800 GT 512MB |
GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB |
GeForce 8800 GTX 768 MB |
GeForce 8800 GTX 768 MB |
GeForce 8800 Ultra 768MB |
GeForce 9600 GT 512MB |
GeForce 9800 GTX+ 512MB |
GeForce 9800 GX2 1024MB |
GeForce GTX 260 896MB |
GeForce GTX 280 1024MB |
Radeon 3850 256MB |
Radeon 3870 512MB |
Radeon 4670 512MB |
Radeon 4830 512MB |
Radeon 4850 512MB |
Radeon 4870 512MB |
Radeon 4870 X2 2048MB |
Here's what we did ...
We'll use the ATI Far Cry 2 Hotfix driver and for NVIDIA their yesterday's released 180.42 driver. NVIDIA's benchmark results where extremely consistent. ATI's driver however looks like it needs some more work. Nothing in the image quality department but there was quite a lot of performance fluctuation in the tests. At one run we'd get an average 40 FPS, in another run it was 43 FPS. So bare with me on that one, I do not consider the ATI results finalized. To equalize and retrieve a more consistent framerate we ran each time demo 3x and and then averaged out the results.
We selected an image quality setting that is pretty far fetched, applied to all cards in a similar fashion. Since the graphics engine can deal with a lot, we opt the best image quality available in-game, DirectX 10 mode and then enable 4 samples of anti-aliasing in very high image quality settings mode. A pretty tough configuration for sure.
The results is excellent image quality, yet it remains quite playable through out the scope of tested cards and resolutions. You can mimic our settings and benchmark yourself with the included benchmark tool.
We bypass GPU Physx to the CPU on both brands by the way.
Our Far Cry Image quality choice in settings
We take a look at Far Cry Primal in our usual in-depth ways. That would be tested on the PC gaming wise relative towards graphics card performance with the latest AMD/NVIDIA graphics card drivers. Mu...

Social Media
From Facebook to Twitter to shareworthy content, we know social media. You may have heard terms in the past like viral video or viral content. At PV we see it a little differently. A virus is generally something that you get for a while and then want to get rid of. It spreads quickly, but in most cases, after it is gone the only memory you have of it was the uncomfortableness of the flu or the cold you had.
What if the content was not viral, but something people actively wanted to pass from one person to another? Instead of a piece of gossip, the content becomes an idea that spreads to other people and gains momentum that lasts for the long term. What if the content is something that not only generates interest and increased traffic or sales, but instead something that generates respect for your organization or company?
We believe that everything you put your time and money into should be an extension of the quality and good name of your establishment. Our goal with all of our social media efforts is for your company's long term good and image, not just fading trends or fads.
Pr and Promotions
It is often the case that when hiring a design firm, later a PR firm is needed to get the public's eye. It is also often the case that with a PR firm, later a design firm is needed to follow through with the promotions in the works. With more people involved in a process, more chances exist for mistakes or lack of follow through on good ideas.
We have managed many successful PR campaigns and have the expertise to use social media and other techniques to leverage your marketing dollars for better results. What we do best is integration of the whole process and that integration saves you money.

Endometriosis (cont.) IN THIS ARTICLE
Treatment OverviewThere is no cure for endometriosis, but treatment can help with pain and infertility. Treatment depends on how severe your symptoms are and whether you want to get pregnant. If you have pain only, hormone therapy to lower your body's estrogen levels will shrink the implants and may reduce pain. If you want to become pregnant, having surgery, infertility treatment, or both may help. Not all women with endometriosis have pain. And endometriosis doesn't always get worse over time. During pregnancy, it usually improves, as it does after menopause. If you have mild pain, have no plans for a future pregnancy, or are near menopause (around age 50), you may not feel a need for treatment. The decision is up to you. MedicinesIf you have pain or bleeding but aren't planning to get pregnant soon, birth control hormones (patch, pills, or ring) or anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) may be all that you need to control pain. Birth control hormones are likely to keep endometriosis from getting worse.4 If you have severe symptoms or if birth control hormones and NSAIDs don't work, you might try a stronger hormone therapy. Besides medicine, you can try other things at home to help with the pain. For example, you can apply heat to your belly, or you can exercise regularly. SurgeryIf hormone therapy doesn't work or if growths are affecting other organs, surgery is the next step. It removes endometrial growths and scar tissue. This can usually be done through one or more small incisions, using laparoscopy. Laparoscopy can improve pain and your chance for pregnancy. This is especially true for women with mild to moderate endometriosis.5 In severe cases, removing the uterus and ovaries (hysterectomy and oophorectomy) is an option. This surgery causes early menopause. It is only used when you have no pregnancy plans and have had little relief from other treatments. Infertility treatmentIf you are having trouble becoming pregnant even after surgery, you can consider trying fertility drugs with insemination or in vitro fertilization.

How Water Retention Causes Weight Gain
When you stand on the scale, have you ever noticed how your weight tends to fluctuate a lot depending on the time of day? That isn't just because of the amount of food you eat, but it also has to do with the water retention in your body.Understanding Water Retention
Your body is made up of nearly 70% fluid, so water is obviously a very important part of its function. When your body is getting enough water, it doesn't worry about dehydration. It will not store water, and you won't have to worry about excess water being stored. However, if you don't drink enough water and fluids, your body senses that there is going to be a "drought". It begins to store water just in case you continue your low fluid consumption, and that water begins to add to your body weight. Drinking more water enables you to lose the water weight, as it will signal to your body that the "drought" is over. On the other hand, sodium can also cause water retention. Sodium is one of the two important electrolytes in your body. While potassium drains the water from your muscles, sodium causes your muscles to store water. A high sodium diet can lead to water retention, which will definitely show up when you stand on a scale. Have you ever lifted a 1-liter bottle of juice or water? It weighs about 1 kilogram, or 2.2 pounds. That means that water is actually fairly heavy, and every fluid ounce of water stored in your body adds a couple of ounces to your body weight. The more water you store in your body, the heavier you will be. That's called "water weight", but thankfully it's the easiest weight to get rid of.How to Get Rid of Water Weight

can u get water weight on ur knees and ankles
Hi Marie,
Yes, you can have water retention in your knees and ankles. Water retention may have medical causes so talk to you doctor about possible causes of water retention and bloating before trying to treat yourself.
hi! i want to know how to eliminate water retention in my body,i do bodybuilder but my muscle still hide behind something, thank u in advance.
Hi Sam,
It is important to remember that fluid retention can be caused by many things such as hot weather, a high sodium diet, or hormonal changes but may also be a symptom of a more serious underlying medical problem such as kidney disease, liver disease, or arthritis. Please talk to your doctor for advice and about possible causes before trying to treat it yourself.
I drink no less than two quarts of water a day. I still gain weight. The doctor told me that I do not eat enough to lose weight. He said that I must eat at least 1300 calories a day in order to lose weight. I have been eating less than a thousand. He says calories burn calories. I eat fresh fruits and vegetables whenever i can get them. I only eat one small serving of meat. I need to lose 55 lbs, but because of an accident I was in I am unable to walk even a block or exercise. Any suggestions?
Hi Juanita,
I don't your exact diet but here are a few tips:
1. You need to consume a minimum amount of calories per day to keep the body running. That could be 1200-1300 but depends on what the doctor says. If you drop below this, your body may consider you to be in starvation mode and will horde calories.2. See a physical therapist on what kind of exercises you can do despite the accident. You should have the opportunity to build your muscles and bones.
3. Losing weight means doing physical exercise. It's important you follow #2 and get a plan on increasing your stamina and strength.
I have recently gained 8 pounds in one week. I am being treated for plantar fascsitis (sp?) and wonder if this is the cause. They gave me Mobic as it is an anti-inflammatory. I can't believe I have gained this much in one week...Has any one every heard of this before???
Speak to your doctor. Also check the side effects of the medicines you are taking.
We're not a medical so cannot help you with any detailed information.
I have been back on my life style eating change for the last 4 months, loosing slow but steady, I recently got on the scale and was 4 1bs heavier,in just a matter of 2 days! I was wondering if it could be from the excessive heat out side this week 104-109 in my area. Do you think my body is holding extra water because of the heat? I dont drink sodas or eat any fast foods, lots of fruits and vegetables very little meat, mostly fish,and turkey 2-3 times a week!

Socializing with electronic cigarettes.
E-cigarete News
Gamucci Disposable in London.
London Paper's reporter Chantelle Fiddy had spotted disc jokey Daisy Lowe smoking a Gamucci electronic cigarette.
Gamucci Micro cigarette tested in a pub.
Nice thing about high-tech and low-tech is that it offers the solution for every annoying problem one might have.
Gamucci Micro cigarettes will not kill you, but ...
Smoking is dangerous. Crossing a road is dangerous. There are a lot of dangerous and unhealthy things we do every day.

Product Description back to top
Smokers should be relieved to know that burden of remorse that their unhealthy habit had brought onto them, is no more. Gamucci Ltd. had brought out e-cigs with vitamins. Yes folks, smoking is now a whole lot healthier and we can even puff into the face of those angry anti-smoker journalists and tell them: "Inhale deep, it is just vapor with vitamins."
Media hype aside, NicoVap juice contains some vitamins, but I am not sure do they get passed to the vapor. New package looks good and it is followed by refreshing advertising campaign from Gamucci. Bringing the vitamins into e-cigs was maybe a good marketing move, but it will not make electronic cigarettes much healthier than they already are. Electronic cigs do not burn anything, although they still taste good enough.
Gamucci's NicoVap stepped into brave new ground with introduction of vitamins. NicoVap refill cartridges contain vitamins diluted in water. This enriched juice has some vitamin A, B1, C, D, E with Green Tea extract. Green Tea extract is really healthy, because it is sort of cleaning fluid for the cardiovascular system. If you are on the way to slowly quit smoking, than it is not bad idea to maybe mix NicoVit (with nicotine) cartridges with a proper dose of JustVit (no nicotine) refills. If zero nicotine cartridges do not make you restless, than this combination is quite step forward for your health..
As with all electronic cigarettes, the solution that you are inhaling is simply water based and all that is produced is just water steam. With electronic cigarettes, like Gaumucci NicoVap, there is no danger of second hand smoking. So if anybody (reasonable) complains, just show him blue LED light on the tip and you should be free to continue.
Gamucci NicoVap has built in safety circuit that will shut the e-cig for about 8 seconds, should smoker suddenly draws too many inhalations too quickly. That is mostly there to prevent any accidental misuse, but there is no danger of nicotine poisoning with these devices.
Electronic cigarette vapor trail.
Vaping through a tiny electronic device brings some new challenges, like for example, atomizers do not last very long. Few months at the best. That is why Nicocig Plus now gives atomizers for free, with every new box of cartridges. Even worse, some of old e-cig models do leak juice through the atomizer. That is certainly not the case with new NicoVap, that has completely redesigned atomizer unit. But noticeably, manufacturer's guarantee covers the atomizer only for 3 months and the Lithium Ion battery only for 6 months. If you smoke 15 cigs per day, atomizer will last you something like equivalent of 1,000 cigarettes, while battery will heat up the juice for the equivalent of 2,000 cigs.
Effectively, in a medium term, electronic cigarette manufacturers now consider the atomizer (vaporizer) as a semi-consumable part, good for about 50,000 inhalations.
The operation of NicoVap is intuitive enough: you take it out of the box, charge it for about 3 hours and you are ready. The first time you try to inhale cigarette will automatically turn on and the blue LED light in the front will lit up. If it happens that blue LED light starts flashing, that means that battery charge is low and you need to plug it back into the wall mains. Depending on your smoking style, one battery charge might last you a bit less than a day. If you are fast pace smoker inhaling quickly some short draws, than you certainly need two batteries to take you through the day. If you are somebody who goes for long slow draws, than you might be all right with just one battery recharge per day.
Remember, there is no ON / OFF switch on the NicoVap, just inhale and e-cig will turn itself on.

VISITOR REVIEWS back to top
Has anybody tried this one?
Vapor is the New Smoke. Get the environmentally safe alternative to regular cigarettes at BluCigs.com
To say that I have wasted more regular cigarettes than I smoked to the end, would be an understatement. So many times I would lit up a cig to have somebody tell me "You still have one in ashtray". With e cigs, if you are interrupted, you do not throw the whole cigarette away ... and my place smells much better ;-)
I went to Birmingham, for Gadget exibition and got ther NicoVap at Gamucci's stand.
The first couple of weeks it was good, cigs really felt as if I was smoking regulars, I got my throat hit and it all tasted fine. But now the smoke had all but run out and I there is no taste to it, so I might be back to regular smokes soon.
I went through couple of different e cig makes before I settled for a NicoVap. It has a better throat hit than ones I tried before.
My partner hates the fact that I smoke due to reasons of his own. House smells a bit, it is bad for my health and his, and so on. As a matter of fact, we quarreled over that so many times that I started looking around. I was reviewing all the kits but he purchased Gamucci Nicovap starter kit for me on impulse. I kind of half thought that e-cigs will suck, but I've seen three people smoking, in a pub in London, on the same day, so I thought to give it a real go.

My long-time [StopShop] readers may recall my post on how I am NOT an artist, but that is 1/2 of a lie. Just because I can't draw/paint/weld/sculpt/draw does not mean I'm completely devoid of creative ability. In fact, I'm [in my humble-brag opinion] quite good at making collages. I understand there is a website [Polyvore] that allows you to do this all digitally, but there is something more satisfying about physical cutting and pasting... "crafts" sort of keep my head from flat out exploding, which would be gross and inconvenient. Kid safe scissors and glue sticks make magic here, folks. I don't like to waste the 400 pounds of magazines I have stored away, so this is how I reduce-reuse-recycle. I'm creating a look book- collages of styles, fashions, colors, and textiles that I am obsessed with. You see, I wasn't born with some inherent style gene. I have had to go ahead and figure it out. SO if I glue all the things I like onto a paper [to avoid wrapping Christmas presents], then maybe I'll get some fabulous outfit idea for my Christmas Eve celebration tomorrow. What will I do with the finished book? Show you, duh. Here is what I've got so far:

text: The Feds Are Suing Volkswagen Over Deceptive 'Clean Diesel' AdsMichael Ballaban3/29/16 12:31pmFiled to: DieselgateVolkswagenVWLawsuits8417EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink As news spread across the internet back in September that something was up with Volkswagen's diesels, the automaker moved quickly to scrub its "Clean Diesel" ad campaign from its corporate Internet accounts. But it was too late, as the Feds were already on the Dieselgate trail. And now, the Federal Trade Commission is suing for false advertising. Here's one of the ads in question (conveniently re-posted to Youtube by a VW dealer), in which three women of a certain age debate whether or not Volkswagen diesels smell bad:One of the women is adamant that something is definitely off with whatever is coming out of the tailpipe, while the other two dismiss her, and it all becomes a beautiful parable about listening to people who apparently know what the hell they're talking about. Advertisement The lawsuit, brought by the FTC against Volkswagen USA for false advertising, is hoping to get billions of dollars for consumers above and beyond compensation for the actual sales of the cars, and in addition to an ongoing U.S. Justice Deparment lawsuit, as Reuters (via Automotive News) notes:The FTC is seeking a court order requiring Volkswagen to compensate U.S. consumers who bought a polluting vehicle and an injunction to prevent future similar conduct by Volkswagen. The lawsuit itself is pretty brutal in its language, too: Advertisement At all times material to this Complaint, acting alone or in concert with others, Volkswagen USA has advertised, marketed, offered for sale, sold, offered for lease, leased, and distributed motor vehicles to consumers throughout the United States, including various makes and models of diesel vehicles marketed as "Clean Diesel" (collectively, "Defeat Device Vehicles," or "DDVs").Translation: "Clean diesel? More like crappy diesel, amirite????"(Now imagine a whole bunch of FTC lawyers just high-fiving each other over that sick burn.) Sponsored But it's not just the rather arbitrary turn of phrase that is "Clean Diesel" that's landed VW in even more trouble, but a specific claim about its diesel emissions that is the issue:According to Volkswagen USA's marketing strategy materials, one of the "keymessages" it intended to convey through the word "clean" was that Clean Diesel vehiclesproduce "NOx emissions [that are] reduced by 95 percent[.]" Volkswagen's diesels did not in fact produce lowered NOx emissions. In reality, they produced NOx gases at levels far above legal limits – as much as 4,000 percent above those limits, the lawsuit notes. Advertisement The rest of the suit produces a litany of examples of Volkswagen touting its environmentally-friendly diesel credentials, all while some bad engineering was going on behind the scenes, and its advertising of high resale values among diesel vehicles.Read the whole lawsuit here:The FTC's Lawsuit Against VWMichael firstname.lastname@example.com@ballabanDeputy Editor, Jalopnik. 1991 Yugo.PGP Fingerprint: 0D03 F37B 4C96 021E 4292 7B12 E080 0D0B 5968 F14E|PGP KeyReply84 repliesLeave a reply

I've just returned from Lithuania where I had a few weeks break from Istanbul heat. The best thing about June and July in Lithuania is loads of fresh fruit in every garden or every forest ( market in my case!). So when I had some visitors, I was more than ready to make a great summer berries delight...
What we need:
for the cake pad:
4 egg whites
4 table spoons of sugar powder
4 tbsp of flour
1 teaspoon of vanilla sugar
1 teaspoon of baking powder
for the upper layer:
500ml of heavy cream
300gr of butter biscuits
1 banana
1 glass or a good handful of rasberries ( you can use any other berries if you like)
3 tbsp of sugar powder
2 tbsp of lemon juice
1 tbsp of vanilla sugar
for the top:
berries ( rasberries, blueberries, black currant)
What we have to do:
1. To make the pad, whisk the egg whites and then slowly add your dry ingredients ( mixed sugar powder, flour, baking powder and vanilla sugar). Brush the baking tray with some butter or oil, add parchment paper and pour in the dough. Put into a pre-heated oven ( 180C) and bake for 15 minutes and then let the pad cool.
2. For the upper layer, break your butter biscuits into smaller pieces. Then in a seperate bowl whisk the cream, then add sugar powder, vanilla, lemon juice. When it's fluffy, pour in the biscuits, sliced banana and berries. Mix it. Then pour onto the baked cool pad ( still in a tray with removable sides). Even the top and decorate with fresh berries.
3. Put the cake in a fridge for 5 hours or overnight. Enjoy!!!

Fightville - An Intimite Look Into the Lousiana MMA Fight Scene
Fightville, article by Coach Josh.
This is a film about the guys in Louisiana fight scene. The people of the film are Gil Guillory, fight promoter, Dustin Poirier, fighter, Albert Stainbeck, fighter, Tim Credeur, fighter and gym owner, Josh Artigue, trainer, and a multitude of other people from the area.
I was fortunate enough to be part of this process and will let you in on how this got started. Several years ago one of the fighters from the gym, Scott Sonnier, had an MMA match against Mike Goss. Mike was the subject of the acclaimed documentary, How to Fold a Flag.
Scott beat Mike in the match.
Mike then returned to Louisiana for another match and asked Scott if he could help him out. Scott offered to let Mike stay at his house and cornered him for his fight which was being filmed for the Flag documentary.
While screening the documentary the film maker, Micheal Tucker, explained this situation to the production company. They were so impressed by this that they told Micheal to go get the rest of the story about these crazy people in Louisiana. This is how the film was born.
Tucker came down to film an event with USA-MMA, a fight company owned by Gil Guillory. Dustin and Albert were fighting in the event. Tucker then asked to come to the gym to do some filming. This is where he got hooked on the idea. While filming he became exposed to the cast of characters that is Gladiators Academy Lafayette.
Over the course of a year Tucker would come down and film the gym and the events we were participating. We had a great time and Tucker loved every minute he was down here. Tucker used a very non-intrusive style of filming. He just hung out in the background and would scuttle about making sure to stay out of the way. He once described the filming process as being allowed to live with a pride of lions.
The film is a glimpse into the world of MMA fighting at the beginning level up to the big leagues. It shows how guys live, train, and fight.

Discovery; where SEO starts…
Long before you start to worry about actually ranking content, you need to get it into the index. And of course, to do that, your content needs to be found. In the world of information retrieval this is, appropriately enough, known as 'discovery'. This in itself can be known as a few things including 'data mining' 'knowledge discovery' and so on. Regardless of the terminology, I thought it would be fun to get back to basics and look at how search engines might go about it…Published: Jan 28, 2010 - 11:57 pm

MOST SHOCKING PLOT TWIST THORNE AND MACY ELOPE, THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL We never saw it coming. Although Thorne and Macy had been engaged for months, their nuptial outlook was bleak: Unbeknownst to Macy, her fianc� had fallen hard for Brooke. The secret lovers headed to Italy for a romantic getaway, but it fell apart when Thorne mistakenly thought that Brooke had slipped off for a quickie rendezvous with Ridge. As a forlorn Thorne wandered around Venice, he was suddenly comforted by a surprising visitor - Macy. After professing her undying love, she left him standing alone in the rain. Back in L.A., we were positive that Thorne and Brooke would reunite once the misunderstanding was cleared up. However, right after Brooke finished explaining things to Thorne, Macy showed up - wearing a wedding ring. She and Thorne had left Italy together and tied the knot during a layover in Amsterdam. Yikes! This out-of-left-field twist blind-sided even B&B's savviest viewers. |

4.7 install from USB
I have been trying to install OpenBSD on my netbook for 3 days now without any success. I have tried dd-ing the floppy image to usb drive, it didnt work. I have tried creating a LiveUSB under VirtualBox running OpenBSD. Then it seemed I found an easy solution using UNetbootin to create a bootable USB from install47.iso. However, when its bootloader starts it immedieatley says Invalid or corrupt kernel image. I checked the sha256sums and they are matching... So now I'm really lost about what to do to install OpenBSd on my netbook. Thanks in advance |

The emotional side of photography
By Tom Hall
8 Jun 2011
Have you ever wondered why sometimes the mind doesn't seem to interpret things the same way? I, especially have wondered about that with photography. Your emotional state, the sounds, surroundings, people, even the smell of for instance hot chestnuts being sold on the corner of the street can influence the way you shoot your photo's (well it does for me in any case). Does it make sense? It is the same with being motivated or inspired. I have had a so called visual block for a while now. No real stimuli to feed my brains / eyes and shoot images that say something, radiate emotion or just are breath taking. I miss that immensely at the moment. But I know, as many writers do as well, it will return. But when..when is the question.

A dipshit on twitter: always a reliable source for information.
Count me in to get a drink at sleep train. I'll be with EnLuv12 from the boards, too.
Pit as well. Way more excited for this show than the forum ones
Let's get a rough draft list of who will be at the show, partly for fun, partly so we can later refer back if we do end up organizing a pre-show drink or something.
Boardies who will be at Sleep Train:
1. ameeps
2. scenicworld
3. EnLuv12
4. PlayaDelWes
5. Phantasma Del Mar

Teaser for the We Exist video.
Arcade Fire, Kid Koala, Tune-Yards
Bridgestone Arena
Nashville, Tenn.
4,713 / 9,001
from Billboard Boxscore this week
Cant wait to catch them at the George in August.
It'll sell well in such a big market at the height of tourist season, but it's mind boggling the amount of competition they have that week or so.
Jack White, Monty Python(all 5), Elton, Sabbath/Soundgarden, Hop Farm, Wireless with Kanye/Drake/Bruno, Eminem, Neil Young & Crazy Horse and Pearl Jam.
Arcade Fire play 2 Earl's Court shows in a 3 weeks time and also play Glastonbury. In this area it'll be fan's 4th chance to see them.
You didnt do anything around glasto last year? It was similar.
Was that shot weekend 2?
April 14-16 - Coachella
April 22 - Sleep
May 4 - The Weeknd
May 20 - Mastodon/EODM/Russian Circles
May 30 - Conan/North
June 9 - Sigur Rós
July 3 - Roger Waters
July 30 - Panorama Festival
August 17-20 - Psycho Las Vegas
September 9 - Green Day
October 6-8 - ACL wknd. 1
COACHELLA- 99, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 10, 11, 12 (wk 1 & 2), 13 (wk 1 &2), 14 (wk 1 & 2), 15(wk 1&2), 16 (wk 1&2)
I love Arcade Fire but they need to reevaluate their touring strategy. I don't see how selling 25-30% of arenas can be profitable.
Another example similar to Nashville:
In St. Louis, they booked the Verizon Wireless Ampitheatre, with a capacity of 20,000. Poor ticket sales lead to Groupon promotions, and then they finally moved it to Chaifetz arena, with a capacity of 10,000. And then the show still only sold about 3-4000 tickets. It's bad.
Promoters usually budget arena shows to be hit the profit around the 3,000 mark. AF also benefit from merch and VIP tickets.
The one that gets me is Ottawa having discounted tickets. It's the 2nd closest show to the lone Montreal hometown gig and only a 2-3 hour drive.
Remember the 2013 talk of them playing Stadiums in North America?
I think it's pretty clear that Arcade Fire are so over.

I'm not buying Arcade Fire tickets until the week of. I'll probably hit up 2-3 nights for like 40 bucks total. Thanks Arcade Fire for booking 4 shows in my area.
General industry rule of thumb repeated by many in industry interviews. Changes if the act wants to goes nuts on production, depends on pricing/VIP packages sold and depends on the venue rental and they make money from parking/concessions. Some amphitheaters charge little for rental and make everything on parking/food/beer/advertising. Helps explain why some acts always tour with the same pattern/type of shows while ignoring others.
Their management got little ambitious. They will play to big crowds and make stupid money but some empty seats and tickets on the scalper market going for pennies on the dollar does take away from enthusiasm by the fan base.
In 2010 Arcade Fire played the 2,360 capacity Ryman on their Nashville stop. Probably the coolest venue to see them on that year and 2014 they may have played on of the least desirable shows on the year.
Television added as another opener to the 3rd Barclays center date.
Devo added to Chicago and Mountain View.
Antibalas added to DC, Bangor Maine and Mansfield.
Fraka added to Montreal.
Dj Steve Mackey added to both Forum dates.
I've given up hope that they'll stop in Vegas on this tour. I might try to get to the LA Forum show because I love the new album and I don't want to miss this.
fuckin' with the lights on
Interesting how Steve Mackey is coming all the way to LA to DJ between sets. Wonder if there will be another Pulp film screening added around then.
12/16-18 Day for Night
Gonna be weird seeing Dan Deacon play an amphitheater. Wonder if he's gonna try to have a set up in the pit at all.
