In what may be one of the most "real world" studies yet on the impacts of sub-lethal doses of pesticides upon honeybee colonies, researchers collected pollen samples from the field and analyzed them for pesticide loads.
"Pesticide exposure and pathogens may interact to have strong negative effects on managed honey bee colonies. Such findings are of great concern given the large numbers and high levels of pesticides found in honey bee colonies. Thus it is crucial to determine how field-relevant combinations and loads of pesticides affect bee health. We collected pollen from bee hives in seven major crops to determine 1) what types of pesticides bees are exposed to when rented for pollination of various crops and 2) how field-relevant pesticide blends affect bees' susceptibility to the gut parasite Nosema ceranae."
"We detected 35 different pesticides in the sampled pollen, and found high fungicide loads. The insecticides esfenvalerate and phosmet were at a concentration higher than their median lethal dose in at least one pollen sample. While fungicides are typically seen as fairly safe for honey bees, we found an increased probability of Nosema infection in bees that consumed pollen with a higher fungicide load."
"While multiple studies have shown negative effects of specific pesticides on honey bee individual and colony health [14], [15], [22], [26] and high pesticide exposure [27], [28], ours is the first to demonstrate how real world pollen-pesticide blends affect honey bee health."
"Insecticides and fungicides can alter insect and spider enzyme activity, development, oviposition behavior, offspring sex ratios, mobility, navigation and orientation, feeding behavior, learning and immune function [9], [13], [14], [16]–[22]. Reduced immune functioning is of particular interest because of recent disease-related declines of bees including honey bees [3], [23]. Pesticide and toxin exposure increases susceptibility to and mortality from diseases including the gut parasite Nosema spp. [14], [15]. These increases may be linked to insecticide-induced alterations to immune system pathways, which have been found for several insects, including honey bees [22], [24]–[26]."

OMG she looks 12 years old! HE is way too old to be hitting on such a young girl.. he is twice her age, that is in creepy territory and he knows it. When you kids get to be in your late 30s to 40s you will totally feel differently about the subject. When I was a young girl all of the old guys tried to date me and I did not see anything wrong with it, I did not find them attractive but i didn't think it was a big deal. Now that i am in my 30's i see how wrong and immoral it is for an older person, in there late 30's-40;s to go after a teen. it is sick.. almost criminal.

Inappropriate/creepy/sexually attractive? The only real question is would she have been LEGAL at her age. I'm not sure, but some have said 17 was legal in NY and 16 in her native Scotland. She obviously wanted to meet him and did not appear to discourage him. If she were 13 it would have been all his fault. But at 17, I'm not so sure. Older dudes (Clint Eastwood, Tony Curtis, the list goes on and on) constantly date younger women…much, much younger than themselves. Creepy is a matter of opinion, but he's done nothing new or shocking.

He's a creep. I lost all respect for Franco reading this.. it's not a publicity stunt, he has admitted that he screwed up. Basically he was caught & had to come clean. Reading all of the messages, it is clear he was trying to talk a teenage girl into going to a hotel room with him. Ewwwww

I was 36 when I met my wife she was 19, we are now married with 2 kids. What's the problem here she is no shrinking violet. And anyone who thinks James Franco isn't in on her leaking the story to the press well….highly successful publicity move top marks James now every red-blooded male's hero…I mean what is all this talk of morlas he just flirted with her honestly.
Posted at 3:50 PM on April 5, 2014
He said he was going to get a hotel room. It's obvious what he had in mind. Sex in a hotel room. that is more than flirting. Morals are a way of life to a believer in Christ who is following his commands. Sex before marriage sends people to hell unless they repent whether they are famous or not…so morals are a part of life to those who don't want to go to hell. Most people will according to Jesus because most humans are too proud or foolish to repent and start living the life Jesus told us to live according to God's standards. 1 Corinthian 6:9 tells of this.

web hacks
That pesky IE compatibility view... how to turn compatibility view off
Internet Explorer is a tricky browser to design for. I, like others, spend countless hours making my web standards pages work in IE, too.
Here's a patch/hack/fix I applied today to fix the problem of Internet Explorer rendering my web page differently to a user with IE's compatibility view "on" than "off." Just as a note, You can tell if IE compatibility mode is on if the little page icon in the browser shows up as a solid color instead of an outline.
You might need this method applied if your site works well without compatibility view (or in webkit browsers), but does weird things due, usually, to stylesheets using conditional formatting or for html5 compatibility.
<meta content="IE=8; IE=9" http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" />
For a list of the different meta content options to include, this article was phenomal.
Make this be the first meta tag in the list of metas, otherwise IE9 won't be happy.
When the above meta tag is included in the <head> element of your page, the user is no longer presented the option to "toggle into" compatibility view. In my case, they don't need compatibility view. This is a great hack if rendering the page to work without compatibility view is not an option.
Note: This workaround won't do it for you if the user has already added your website specifically to the Compatibility View list from within IE's compatibility settings. You may have to direct them to instructions to remove it, if that's the case. But... let's face it, if they figured out how to add it to that list, then either they aren't in control (a domain policy may add the site via security settings) or they already know what they are doing and will probably google it faster than you can walk them through it.

Okay, after being a lurker here for some time and absorbing all the tips and tricks from the paint masters on this forum, I felt confident enough to start for myself. I'll introduce my painting "adventure" first.. (boooring? )
About two months ago I bought a Boba bucket from Ebay. It's not thé most accurate version, but it's nearly mystery sized (measured it). So, for me, it's good enough for my first helmet
Then began the long "lurking process" here on this great forum where I learnt all kind of super usefull information. Watching the experienced members doing their thing made me want to start for myself too. But I couldn't find the right colours (Testors etc) over here in Belgium. So I looked at Vallejo, Humbrol and Tamiya.
For most of my colours, I used Tamiya paints and spray cans. I'll give the full list with the correct paint names soon, since I'm not at home and I don' know them by heart.
My first idea was to print out all the stencils for the details I found here on some transparent decal paper. I'd make some rough cuts around the outlines of each individual detail piece, stick them one and paint them right there on the helmet. The borders of the decal paper are thin enough so they won't show. Anyway, when I went out to buy some decal paper, I couldn't find any!!
And impatient as I am (yes, yes impatience is the path to the dark side, I know ) I can't wait anymore and I'll just trace the details on by hand. the decal project wil have t wait for another helmet then..
Anyway, enough of this. Let's get started, shall we..

Bend rafters stymied by government shutdown
Group waits for trip of a lifetime in Grand Canyon
BEND, Ore. - The government shutdown has been affecting everything from the FAA to the Forest Service and the National Park Service.
The Litzers of Bend say the shutdown is about to derail a once-in-a-lifetime rafting trip to the Grand Canyon.
About a year and a half ago. Justin and Erika Litzer got word they had been selected in a lottery and awarded a rare permit to ride the Colorado River.
They say people wait 10 to 15 years to get the permit to float down the scenic waterway.
Since the news came that their dream trip was coming true, the party of 16 has spent months planning the 22-day trip and spent nearly $30,000.
"I grew up on the river. It's a trip of a lifetime that rafters and boaters have spent their entire lives wanting to do," Erika Litzer said.
With the shutdown, the National Park Service has closed access to the river.
"My first thought was, I hope they get this sorted out before our launch date, which is October 19th," Litzer said.
Planning the trip, many of the members have built up time off from work and made plans to fly from Europe.
"I have taken a term off of school, which is going to put me an entire year behind in school, just to go on this trip," Litzer said.
The only things holding them up from enjoying the trip of a lifetime are concrete barriers and the political gridlock in Washington.
"These are our national parks -- they are our public lands that we are are being shut out of," Litzer said.
At the Lee's Ferry boat launch in the Grand Canyon, rafters are camping out, waiting for word to come that the shutdown has ended.
As for the Litzers, they still plan to head down to Arizona. If the boat launch is still closed, they will wait with the rest of the rafters.

What is Energy Express?
Energy Express is an award-winning, 8-week, summer reading and nutrition program for children living in West Virginia's rural and low-income communities.
Approximately 3,000 children in throughout the state will maintain or gain reading skills through Energy Express this summer.
The program is designed to provide learning opportunities and nutrition during the summer months, when children are most at risk for falling behind on reading levels – a preventable loss known as the "summer slide."
The program will take place in 80 sites across the state from June 13- to August 2.
AmeriCorps Energy Express mentors make learning fun for small groups of school-age children by creating a safe, enriching environment focused on reading, writing, art and drama.
In addition to the learning activities, mentors eat nutritious, family-style meals with children, make family visits and complete a community service project.
Energy Express is a program under the leadership of WVU Extension Service's 4-H Youth Development program. This AmeriCorps program is funded, in part, by grants from the West Virginia Department of Education and the Arts and Volunteer West Virginia. Volunteer West Virginia encourages West Virginians of all ages and abilities to be involved in service to their communities.
Based on the success of Energy Express participants and the unique aspects of the program, the National Center for Summer Learning at Johns Hopkins University named Energy Express program one of the nation's best summer learning programs in 2009.
For other AmeriCorps and national service opportunities, visit www.americorps.gov. To learn other ways in which WVU Extension Service works in local communities, visit www.ext.wvu.edu.

Hi Lingie and a warm welcome on board.
Now then, what to make for your hosts at Christmas. Rather depends on your cooking skills. What areas of cooking are you good at? Simple or complicated? Give us a clue Lingie and I'm sure you'll receive lots of ideas.

Welcome to the forum Lingie
Firstly .. Which country do you live in ?
It will make a difference to the type of thing that gets suggested.
And it sounds like you are planning to make something sweet .. Am I right ? Or are you considering a savoury dish ?

Re: Help!!!
Are you wanting to bring something for dinner or as a gift? If it's a component of a meal then you should better ask the host first if there is anything she would like you to bring whether it be a vegetable or meat or pasta dish. If it's a baked good then you have more freedom to bring whatever you want but I would be weary to bring a lasagna dish and then find out that his Mother made a lasagna dish too, quelle horreur!
Since it's the holidays I'm bringing around gingerbread cakes to everyone I know.

Dragon*Con has tracks that appeals to all kinds types, but you may wonder if it is appropriate for little geeklings. After I became a parent, I started noticing the kids in strollers and babies in slings all over the con. But I always thought my daughter wouldn't have that great of a time when she was smaller. Now that she is almost four, I thought it was time to try a partial day at the con.
At the time, I thought the day, especially the parade, was something of a failure as she tired easily and the heat got to her. However, now she's asking about going next year, so I can officially call it a success. Continue Reading "Dragon*Con Diary: The Preschooler at the Con" »

Hello mmo players... I wanted to know witch is better to play tera or aion...
Hello mmo players... I wanted to know witch is better to play tera or aion...
What I mean is but have good and bad points. They are both free and the only thing you will lose, if you try both, is time. The time it takes to download it.
Why don't you play both and see what you like?
Just bored... But eh fine..
Aion is better
I vastly prefer Tera, but I haven't played Aion in ages.
Currently playing: FFXIV (Elucifer Arclight, Leviathan server), LoL (Trash Tier Waifu, NA server), SMITE (Zacewing)
You said you were from Asia, OP. Tera NA and EU ban a lot of Asian countries. I linked you the sources in the chatbox. :/

Wakfu: Roxie HubrecutOriginally Posted by Your average commentor
aion is a repulsive snorefest with only 1 redeeming feature - the character generator which allows you to make hideous disfigured mutants. tera is decent but still not very good and at this moment it's pretty much abandoned, you barely run into other people in most zones.
so your choice is between a sandwich with rotten meat and dogshit (aion) and a month-old pizza whose ingredients are basically petrified already (tera)
if i were you, i'd pick neither
If you want PvP, pick Aion, if you want PvE, pick Tera.
Dunno if things changed much since I played these when they were P2P, but no matter what I'm fairly sure Tera PvP will still be trash.
stil funny that pll like point and clic pvp beter then none target lol
sorry but Tera have the best combat system becouse you need to learn how fight orthers
learn to aim learn to dodge and so on its way more fun
Vindictus have show us how good battle can be ok it have some auto atack
but stil you cant stand stil and get hit ore you must be a tanker and block the atacks
none target mmorpg gone be the new way and i hope more new mmopg gone be like that
GW2 have good system to becouse you need to dodge and swap weapens to win a fight
I'm currently playing TERA. Prefer it over AION
Founder of Apex Multi-Gaming. Looking for passionate members and leaders. PM me for info TERA (Ascension Valley)|LoL NA|Marvel Heroes|WarFrame|LoL OCE| looking into more! Come help out http://apexmultigaming.enjin.com/
Since we are on the topic I should mention Aion is getting a new update. ''Steel Cavalry'' http://na.aiononline.com/steel-cavalry/
Hmm, I'd rate both equally, I voted for Aion because it had less votes. ;-)
Aion is more for PVP. It also has solid PVE and is very polished, but in the end it's your general MMORPG with nothing really special to it. Combat is actually pretty fast, but it's tab target.
Tera has action combat where you need to target yourself, but combat feels kinda slow compared to Aion. I think it's a matter of taste which combat system you like more, so probably would need to try both. Except for the action combat in an open world environment, I don't think Tera offers anything special either. Quests and stuff are just as generic and boring as in Aion.
eu has 10 or so severs with high population
of course the reason for this might be is that i'm playing on the pvp server, maybe the pve servers are more populated. but that's like saying maybe that pile of shit next to me will stop stinking if i strangle myself and lose consciousness. there's absolutely nothing to do in that game apart from PKing random people, unless of course you enjoy killing the same boring monsters over and over again, in which case a bucket of paint and a bit of wall should provide you with days of entertainment
I'm not talking about the other games.Swtor is a mess and lol isn't a mmo.It's a moba .. it's time you people learn that for 4 years since its been out
There aren't really many MMORPGs currently that DON'T have a low population.
For f2p games Aion and Tera are some of the most popular games out there besides Rift.
SWTOR is a star wars based game so obviously the game is going to have a huge sub base seeing it's star wars after all, doesn't mean the active player base is that many tho.
Tera and Aion have solid sized communities, not too big and not too small.. but it's enough to play happily with others without feeling like your on a deserted island.

(77) Key West, Fla.
Catherine, devoted wife and mother, went to be with the Lord on Valentine's Day 2013. It was on that day that we, the Andrews Family, lost the centerpiece of our family. Catherine was abruptly taken from us following an overwhelming battle with cancer and other complications.
She was born in Bristol, R.I., in 1935, where she was raised by her loving parents, Edward and Josephine Marshall (deceased).
Catherine, who was the eldest child and only daughter in a family of six siblings, was taken out of school by her parents at the age of 12 to help raise the family, as times were tough in those days. Catherine would say that although she would have loved to finish school, she knew that her parents needed her help in raising her brothers. Catherine rose to the occasion, unselfishly and joyously raising her brothers, knowing that it was helping her family, even though it meant giving up her childhood. It was that same loving and caring spirit that would define the rest of her life.
Catherine would later marry her loving husband of 59 years, Henry Andrews Jr., who worked at that time as a homebuilder in Bristol, R.I. It was there that their firstborn, Robert Andrews, came into the world.
Three years later, Catherine and Henry would move to Key West, where their daughter, Roberta Andrews, and their youngest son, Thomas Andrews, were born. When asked about how many kids she had, she would reply, "one clam and two conchs."
Catherine became active in the church early on; she and her husband put all their children through Catholic School here in Key West, where she was an active participant in their school activities. Catherine became a "born again" Christian, and for the rest of her life faithfully served the Lord, leading many to Christ.
One of her favorite hobbies was to cut out the Citizen of the Day photos from the Key West Citizen, and frame the photo, and then hand-deliver it to that person. She would tell them as a Christian, it was her responsibility to make their day special, even if she did not know them personally. Her favorite saying was "Praise the Lord," which she not only proclaimed, but lived!
She was an active member of The Basilica of Saint Mary Star of the Sea Church and the Life of Christ Prayer Group, where for over 40 years she faithfully served hour of prayer.
Catherine and her husband would later go on to establish Andrews Propeller Service, which continues to operate today. Catherine loved to greet customers as they walked into the shop, telling them stories of her family and how proud she was of them all. She had wonderful friends that loved her dearly, especially Nancy Cooper and family, who helped our family so much during her last days.
Our thanks to Dr. Catana, Dr. Boros and Hospice of Key West. Catherine will be deeply missed by all that knew her, especially her family here and in New England. Our hearts will forever miss her!
She is survived by her husband, Henry Andrews; her son, Robert Andrews; her daughter, Roberta Mira, and her husband, James Mira; her youngest son, Thomas Andrews, and wife Barbara Hernandez; grandchildren, Brittany Mira, Janet Andrews, TJ Andrews, Tiffany Hernandez, Raul Hernandez; and five great-grandchildren; her brothers, Edward Marshall (Elma Marshall), Richard Marshall (Linda Marshall), Bob Marshall (Jean Marshall), Ronnie Marshall (Donna Marshall), and John Marshall (Rosemary Marshall); and numerous nieces and nephews.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be sent to the Basilica School of Saint Mary Star of the Sea. Her funeral service is scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 23, 2013, at The Basilica of Saint Mary's Church at 11 a.m.. Dean Lopez Funeral Home is handling all arrangements.

Billy's Vision
14 Jun 2002 - ?
The mysterious drifter known only by the name of Billy was as startling for his physical appearance and style of dress as for his gifts as a visionary, artist and creator. Artist and organizer of the exhibition Billy's Vision, Andrew Hunter has recreated the historical environment of this original character, who was first recognized in the 1930's, near Saskatoon. Discover Billy's Vision at the National Gallery of Canada, from June 14 to September 2, 2002. Andrew Hunter first learned about Billy from field notes made by his grandfather on research expeditions in the Canadian prairies and the American west. Not many people encountered the enigmatic drifter during his short stay in Saskatchewan. Those who did described him as "different", "not like us" and "not from hereabouts." His very appearance seemed to confirm an otherworldly presence - "his skin, a pale, almost metallic, blue, long, thin arms and hands." His voice had its own strange quality "like two voices speaking at once, as if he had two sets of vocal cords, a high-pitched human voice superimposed on a Tyrolean yodel or the singing of a whale."

[Article]-Ed Skoudis and the Pen Testing Factory
Link to full review:[Article]-Ed Skoudis & the Pen Testing Factory
"Inside this [class]room, all of my dreams become realities;
and some of my realities become dreams."
Student: Ed Skoudis's opening his factory. He's gonna let people in!
Teacher: You sure?
Student: It's all over the net, and he's giving truckloads of ethical hacking secrets away.
Teacher: Class dismissed.
Student: No, no. The first one's only for 25 people.
Teacher: Class undismissed.
Student: He's making available 25 golden tickets, and the people who buy them will win the big prize.
Teacher: Where's he hidden the tickets?
Student: They're not really hidden. They're inside SANS Events. You have to buy SANS courses to get them.
Teacher: Class re-dismissed.
The terms "Ethical Hacking" and "Ethical Hacker" have now become accepted industry terms. But many companies and government agencies were hesitant to support a credential with the word "hacker" in it. There have been many factors leading to the acceptance of ethical hacking such as:
* Regulations such as HIPAA, SOX, GLBA and numerous others.
* PCI DSS Section 11 and its clarification differentiating penetration testing from vulnerability assessment.
* Many courses and certifications using the term in their titles and official descriptions.
* Cisco Press, the Dummies Series and a plethora of book titles are beginning to use the positive connotation of the word hacking. Even Webster's New World Dictionary has an edition specifically dedicated to hacking.
* A groundswell of professionals using the phrase and showing great interest in this new and maturing field.
Now add to this grass roots movement, a push by one of the most respected names in security training, SANS. The SANS Institute has long been known as a big player in the government sector. And one of its heavy hitters, who has even testified in front of Congress, Ed Skoudis, is the author of a new course with the exact phrase in its title. All of this validates what many of us had hoped for years. Hacking for a living is now a respected profession.
Let me know what you think or make recommendations on other courses you feel I should review.

Tube sampler for water chemistry, Lake Powell, Utah
A student prepares a simple tube sampler to provide an integrated water column sample from Lake Powell (Utah & Arizona, USA). The weighted, flexible tube is lowered through the water column, entrapping a vertical cylinder of water. By crimping the top of the tube and creating a vacuum, the 10-m deep tube can be brought to the surface and emptied into a container to provide an integrated water sample of the epilimnion. Here, sampling was being done in the upper reaches of Lake Powell where the turbid water brought in by the Colorado River is still evident.

I recently purchased one as well, and I like it. It's a nice, solid little gun. Appears well made and nicely designed in every way. I particularly love the ease with which it field strips.
I was disappointed that it comes with only one magazine and that extra magazines [IF you can find one] will set you back pretty nearly $50. But the gun itself [with one clip and no frills -- it comes in a plain cardboard box] was only $349.
The only fault I have found is in having to aim by aligning the BOTTOM of the front sight with the TOP of the rear sight, rather than aligning the top of both sites, as on most guns. In other words, it shoots LOW. But, hey, aim for the nose, and you're sure to hit something vital. It's a solid little gun that I believe will provide good reliablility.
I'd be curious to know what experience others have had.

Stilt fishing is a dying art that is threatened by the very fact that it is so unobtrusive and therefore extremely picturesque: tourists visiting the area get attracted by the sight of the stilt fishermen, stay close by, wade in the sea, in short, do all the things the fishermen have been trying to avoid for decades – namely disturb the fish. There are many who suggest that it is already a dead art and the only stilt fisherman left are those who pose for tourists and charge for each photo taken. With Tina B feeding my delusions of skilled photography, I was making it a mission to capture one of these fisherman digitally (although having had our fill of photo posers, it had to be one of the genuine articles).
Our first stop was the town of Mirissa. No pole fishing but we did jump on a boat to do some more whale watching (apparently the Blue Whale, the largest in the world, was in the neighbourhood). While we did see a few blow holes, we ended up being more fixated on the bad behaviour of the boat operators- rather than whale watching, it was whale chasing, and every time a whale surfaced an entire fleet would chaotically race over for a look which, of course, drove the whale back under very quickly. I hope this is just a problem that will be resolved as the industry matures but at this point we wouldn't recommend whale chasing in Sri Lanka and it didn't appear that many others on our boat enjoyed the activity.
On our way to Unawatuna, we did pass a number of stilts that, by sheer coincidence of course, were positioned at the points where the roadway was closest to the ocean
We also stopped in the visit the old town of Galle, a fortified Dutch colonial village. Galle is the best example of a fortified city built by European colonialists in south and southeast Asia- it's a world heritage site and the largest remaining fortress in Asia built by European occupiers. We didn't even find the phony fisherman who would pose on a pole for peso's (although we did run into some guys who said, if we paid them, they would dive off the fortress walls into the Indian Ocean below- we passed on their bizarre offer).
So I wasn't successful in tracking down one of The Sri Lankan stilt fisherman but if our loyal blog follower stays patient I'm pretty sure I can get Sid H to prop himself up on a wooden pole in the middle of the Tottenham Pond once we're back in Ontario. Stay tuned.

Dreamliner probe widens after excess battery voltage ruled out
By Andrea Shalal-Esa and Peter Henderson
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. safety investigators on Sunday ruled out excess voltage as the cause of a battery fire this month on a Boeing Co 787 Dreamliner jet operated by Japan Airlines Co (JAL) and said they were expanding the probe to look at the battery's charger and the jet's auxiliary power unit.
Last week, governments across the world grounded the Dreamliner while Boeing halted deliveries after a problem with a lithium-ion battery on a second 787 plane, flown by All Nippon Airways Co (ANA), forced the aircraft to make an emergency landing in western Japan.
A growing number of investigators and Boeing executives are working around the clock to determine what caused the two incidents which the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration says released flammable chemicals and could have sparked a fire in the plane's electrical compartment.
There are still no clear answers about the root cause of the battery failures, but the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board's statement eliminated one possible answer that had been raised by Japanese investigators.
It also underscored the complexity of investigating a battery system that includes manufacturers across the world, and may point to a design problem with the battery that could take longer to fix than swapping out a faulty batch of batteries.
"Examination of the flight recorder data from the JAL B-787 airplane indicates that the APU (auxiliary power unit) battery did not exceed its designed voltage of 32 volts," the NTSB said in a statement issued early Sunday.
On Friday, a Japanese safety official had told reporters that excessive electricity may have overheated the battery in the ANA-owned Dreamliner that was forced to make the emergency landing at Japan's Takamatsu airport last week.
"The NTSB wanted to set the record straight," said one source familiar with the investigation who was not authorized to speak publicly. Continued...

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.
Junior Brooke Novak set a fast pace as the 28th-ranked University of Tennessee women's cross country team placed fifth Saturday at the 35th-annual Penn State National Meet on the soggy PSU Blue/White Golf Course.
Novak, from Kaukauna, Wis., raced to a 20:58.21 clocking to finish sixth in a field of 225 runners and paced UT for the second time in four meets this season. She helped the Big Orange tally 111 points and place fifth out of 19 squads. No. 10 Providence claimed the team trophy with 49 points, followed by No. 9 Columbia (58), No. 18 Penn State (84) and No. 20 Colorado State (89). Closing out the top 10 behind Tennessee were Penn in sixth at 232, Cornell with 233, South Region foe South Florida with 257, Central Michigan with 281 and Indiana (Pa.) with 311.
Joining Novak in the scoring five were sophomore Megan Cauble (Knoxville, Tenn.) in 15th at 21:20.85, senior Lindsay Hyatt (Auburn, Calif.) in 27th at 21:42.29, junior Elizabeth McCalley (Knoxville, Tenn.) in 28th at 21:43.75 and sophomore Carly Matthews (Winston-Salem, N.C.) in 35th at 21:49.12. Kim Smith paced Providence to victory with a winning time of 20:14.59.
Other Lady Vols competing were redshirt freshman Katie Flaute (Dayton, Ohio) in 45th at 22:05.31, sophomore Mindy Sullivan (Lubbock, Texas) in 47th at 22:07.35, senior Jessica Southers (Ashland, Ky.) in 58th at 22:30.01, senior Christy Baird (Knoxville, Tenn.) in 84th at 22:59.60 and junior Nicole Cook (Petersburg, Va.) in 95th at 23:12.48. Cook, Flaute and Sullivan all posted career bests for 6K.
"We had some good individual performances with Brooke Novak running a lifetime best and with Elizabeth McCalley and Lindsay Hyatt stepping it up," UT Head Coach J.J. Clark said. "Katie Flaute looked lively today and can run even faster, and Megan Cauble was consistent as always, which she has developed a reputation for.
"We needed to get some people a little closer to Megan, but overall it was probably our best team race. I wanted to come in and beat some of these ranked teams, but we weren't able to do that today. We'll need to turn it up a couple of notches, but I believe we have the ability to do just that in two weeks at the conference meet."
As Clark mentioned, Tennessee will be back in action in two weeks, as the squad travels to Athens, Ga., for the Southeastern Conference Championships on Nov. 3. Race time for the 6K competition at the UGA Golf Course is 10 a.m. ET. The Lady Vols will be attempting to improve upon last season's third-place finish.

BCIS and its partners, BearingPoint and CSC, encountered an exciting opportunity with the BCIS E-filing project: to deliver both an Internet and intranet application in 11 weeks. In order to meet the timeframe, the BCIS team selected EzGov's FlexFoundation software. FlexFoundation software proved to be a strategic factor in meeting the requirements and project timeframe that BCIS and BearingPoint required. FlexFoundation enabled the CSC development team to complete the rapid development of a low-risk, high-value e-filing solution for Internet based submissions, which included integration to the existing BCIS claims processing system, as well as a complementary intranet based application for initial case file creation and management reporting. Since FlexFoundation is a standards-based product, the applications developed on the FlexFoundation platform easily ran within BCIS' existing environment.
In addition to enabling the automated online filing of applications, the BCIS E-filing solution takes advantage of FlexFoundation's capability to generate PDF files and barcodes. The BCIS E-filing application was also required to handle the collection of payments, as well as automate their remittance to the U.S. Department of Treasury. To meet the requirement, the BCIS team leveraged EzGov's PaymentEngine? software. Through the use of PaymentEngine, the E-filing application can accept and settle payments in conjunction with the online application submission. In addition, BCIS uses PaymentEngine's reporting capabilities for payment reconciliation and tracking.
About EzGov
EzGov is the leading e-government technology specialist, providing the software and services that enable governments to become more efficient and better serve citizens and businesses through new distribution channels, such as the Internet.

The Pine River-Backus Community Garden held an open house on Tuesday, Aug. 13, to offer the community a chance to tour the garden and see what's growing.
Guests were able to taste the food growing in the gardens and hear about interesting varieties of vegetables or discuss growing techniques.
The community garden is hosting 32 gardeners this year, using most of the 50 plots available. A wide variety of vegetables are being grown, including cabbage, squash, beans, lettuce, carrots, tomatoes and more, as well as a variety of edible flowers, which are the garden's annual plant of the year.
In addition to gardeners tending their own plots, the PR-B schools are growing pumpkins that they'll sell in the fall for the PTO's annual sale.

Quest - Your adventures in Laos of ziplining and storms are almost too good to be true. The photographs are superb. All I can say is wow! Love - Grandpa
My weekend ziplining around my Jungle treehouse
Loading Map
We spent the rest of the night enjoying the view, snacking on the enormous supply of tropical fruit, and playing cards. After dinner the horizon was filled with a huge storm. Lightning, unlike anything I've ever seen, seemed to cover every inch of the horizon. The night sky was as bright as day. We turned off the light and enjoyed the beautiful and enormously powerful display of nature in absolute awe. Most storms in South-East Asia last about 20 minutes of brutal intensity, and then they pass as quickly as they came. We assumed this storm wouldn't be any different and decided not to pack in preparation for the storm. After watching the storm for another half hour, it began to creep closer, the lightning was so intense it looked like someone was drawing in the sky. Suddenly, a shockingly cold breeze filled the air. We looked at each other with nervous eyes. Michael, having a fear of heights, suggested that it might be a good idea to pack up our stuff just in case. Before anyone could even nod in agreement, what seemed like hurricane winds swept through the tree house. Everything seemed to explode into chaos. Clothes, furniture, sheets, pillows, blankets, towels, cards, anything that wasn't attached flew into the air at incredible speeds
The next day began just several hours after we went to sleep, offering miles and miles of trekking and zip-lining
Post your own travel photos for friends and family More Pictures
after this adventure, you should join the globe trekker show. I see this stuff on the show and it is incredible stuff. Amazing!
Hey Quest -
Thanks for sharing your experiences and the amazing pictures. Once again I stand in admiration of your courage to simply enjoy your adventures. You are creating your good fortune every step of the way!
With love.
Dear Quest,
I simply must write and tell you how amazing you are to entrench yourself in a culture and lifestyle that is so foreign to ours. I have always lived a very sheltered life and couldn't imagine having your guts. My son Larry, wife Liz, and grand daughter Mollie (11-yrs old) also live in Huntington Beach and I forwarded your website to them. They'll be fascinated to share your adventures with Mollie. This past Summer they took Mollie all over Europe and visited friends in Spain, so Mollie is also quiet a traveller.
JUST BE CAREFUL! I was worried about you knowing what's been happening in Bangkok. Hopefully you didn't get into any political riots or demonstrations.
Once you're back home you'll probably join your family as another published author!
I've been a traveler in Thailand three times now and have been enjoying your expedition vicariously. It's one of my favorite places. Loving your pics, anecdotes and adventures! Continue relishing every moment and experience! If you are heading back through Bangkok, be sure to look up my friend CACTUS JOHN at the Cactus Club in SOI COWBOY. Everyone knows him... mention my name and I am sure you will be warmly welcomed and fed.
I've just seen the treehouse on TV. In no time, I google some information about it and finally find your blog. It is so good to share the experience of your Luang Prabang tour. I wish I could be there as soon as possible. Thanks for your photos! By the way, how could you get all the information to go there?

Smoko. A miner from Kawa Ijen enjoying a well deserved break
From Java people
The weighing station. This is the final destination for the miners to bring the sulphur.
From Kawa Ijen - Volcano mining
His teeth will have been dissolved by the acid gases.
The fumarole. The miners direct the flow of gases through iron pipes to the edge of the fumarole so the sulphur will condense where it can easily (easy being a relative term) be collected. It makes a nice photo, but the workers have to go close to those gas clouds.
The ascent from the abyss. Miners carry their loads up the trail that leads out of the Ijen crater. It takes about 4 hours to carry one load out of the crater. The fog contains a lot of sulphur dioxide which doesn't make breathing any easier.
Kawa Ijen, showing the acid lake, the fumarole and a miner carrying a load of sulphur.
A young miner carries his load of sulphur
Sizing up the task. A miner with a huge load of sulphur (around 100kg) assesses the climb he is about to commence. If it wasn't for the toxic atmosphere, this job would be good training for olympic weighlifting. Unfortunately, carrying that sort of weight will inevitable break bones - sooner or later.
A dead tree at the edge of the crater. It would have died as the activity of the volcano increased.
The view from the highest point of the crater rim. It looked none to stable, so I took a photo and quickly retreated. A bath in the acid lake below would have been a nasty way to go.

Statements about Backus police coverage untrue
Statements made at the March 4 Backus City Council meeting regarding police coverage and the city's contract with the Pine River Police Department for coverage later proved to be inaccurate.
The council discussed the option of contracting with the Cass County Sheriff's Department for police services. The Pine River Police Department currently holds a contract for public safety in Backus.
While discussing costs and advantages of each department, Mayor Kurt Sawyer suggested that the city pays not only for the time Pine River officers spent patrolling the city of Backus, but also for the travel time it took to reach Backus from Pine River.
Discussion between Backus City Clerk Jeff Turk and Pine River Police Chief Paul Sand later revealed this and other statements to be incorrect.
"We do not charge them for the travel time," Sand said.
Sand explained this misunderstanding may stem from times when officers are called to Backus for law enforcement when they are not currently patrolling the city. He said officers will often stay within the city following these incidents and work some of their contracted hours.
"If we get a call at 12:30 for a disorderly or whatever," Sand said, "we will stay up in Backus and patrol because we are already there. It's not from the time we got the call (but a continuation of the time)."
Furthermore, Sawyer said he saw the Pine River police patrolling outside of city limits and he was sure the city was paying for those hours.
Because Sand was not asked about these occasions, nor given exact dates for when they happened, he said he could not address those complaints directly. However, he did say those officers may have been patrolling outside the city of Backus working Safe and Sober shifts. These shifts are in cooperation with county law enforcement to increase enforcement of speed, seat belt and sobriety laws. This program is paid for by the state of Minnesota.
"When they work Safe and Sober shifts the officers patrol the area pretty heavy. So you will have an officer there, and more than likely they are working Safe and Sober shifts," Sand said. "None of those Safe and Sober shifts gets charged to the city at all."
Sawyer also suggested that the city could cut the cost of having a police force in half if it reduced the hours of coverage from 20 hours to 10 hours per week, not per day, as the Pine River Journal mistakenly reported.

I expect LSU to be, but they didn't win the National Championship and they return more players. Alabama will probably drop a bit since they won the NC, it happens to everyone, and because of all the players they lost. As for Georgia, I'll believe it when I see it. Aside from maybe FSU, I can't think of team that does less with more than Georgia. I respect Coach Richt, but his team always seems to play weak, undisciplined football. Lucky for him, Grantham runs that defense by himself and you could see them getting where they needed to be last year. I think their defense is going to be solid, top 5 in the country solid, but I want to see their offense play before I say they'll be better than Alabama. With all that said, I expect Georgia to be really good and they have the easiest schedule I may have ever seen from an SEC team... so they'll be highly ranked all year and they'll be in the SECCG. Problem is, the SECCG will be the only test they've had all year. As usual, half his team will be suspended for the first couple games, we'll see if that effects them at all.
I think LSU is going to win the SEC and the BCSCG.

text: Been on the hunt for a while and finally managed to find one that was reasonable. Piccies : It's a 2500, 4x4 with the 7.4L Engine. Just filled it up on the way home, with 91 RON fuel, cost me 68 SR ( Saudi Riyals), for 128 litres. ( £12 / $18 ) There is bits of work to do on it, but the main bits seems to be in good order: Engine, transmission; gearbox and four wheel drive. It does make quite a loud whine when driven, which is a shame, as it hides the growl of of the V8. From asking previous questions on here, the whine is likely to be Alternator related or belt related? Anyway, will be back asking more questions in the near future.

The final settling of everything. Storage items are stored. Travel bags are packed. House is finally clean (dust bunnies under the beds are gone and in the corner cupboards spotless). But goodbyes continue to be said...
These last 2 years have been such a small and unique chapter in our lives. So much has happened, it really feels like it should be much, much longer. Yet at the same time it feels as if it has gone in a flash.
Arriving on the train and emerging to see the beauty of the old town for the first time and shaking my head thinking: 'I'm living HERE!'. Changes into rushing around running errands, dodging tourists and not even noticing the architecture
I remember searching out and starting a new job, not sure of anything. Now finishing my last day feeling like it's a 2nd home.
Nervous smiles passed on the street have turned into close friendships.
We moved into a furnished flat, but slowly acquired a few additional pieces to suit my style of cooking. Now over the last few weeks they have gone one by one and I'm back trying to cook without baking sheets or spices.
I've been busy planning out the use of all our food. At one point we had a 2nd freezer to keep all of our provisions, but now we're down to the last UFO (un-identified frozen object).
We've divided up our clothing into 3 distinct piles: going back to Canada, travel, bin/donate. Everything must be accounted for.
The sun broke through the other day and we went for a lovely autumn walk around the village and countryside
There is so much that we'll miss. You'd think that 2 people who have moved about as much as we have, wouldn't have such difficulty. I do enjoy new adventures, but endings are still a bit sad.
I must get motivated - we fly in less than 2 days! Here are a few inspirational quotes to kick me out of this emotional revelry:
"Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore." -Andre Gide
"Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving" -- Albert Einstein
"Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change." –Jim Rohn
But yet, the one that seems to sum things up most right now must be said by Rabbie Burns:
"And fare thee weel, my only love.
And fare thee weel awhile!
And I will come again, my love,
Though it were ten thousand mile."

The Lesley University agreement is not only good news; it is a wakeup call to institutions and parents: learn your child's rights. Section 504 in public schools and the ADA in places of public accommodation are laws that afford access to our children. We don't have to change the laws. The laws are already on our side. We need only take advantage of them.
O'Brien-Heinzen thinks the extent of the Lesley University accommodations reveal what the Justice Department thinks about food allergies – "that these are significant impairments affecting people's lives in a major way, and that a university must accommodate these students."
To many parents, the Lesley University concessions would be like a dream come true. Imagine if we could get these accommodations for our children! I would even argue that schools and universities are only the beginning. Case by case, parents can let schools, colleges, PTOs, museums, and camps know that they must find ways to safely include our children.
Nonetheless, there are still thousands of elementary schools, high schools and universities across the United States that have yet to recognize food allergies or celiac disease as disabling conditions and, because of that, students are denied the safety and inclusion to which they are entitled. I hope the Lesley settlement will inspire all of us to insist on more for our kids.
Safe food and justice for all!

Zippers. Buttons. Chafing. There are plenty of reasons to pull on a trusty undergarment every morning.
However, the benefits of a stylish first layer extend far beyond mere functionality. What the debonair George Costanza (above) lacks in definition, he makes up for in confidence, thanks to a classic, masculine pair of boxer shorts.
Our guy Arthur is clearly doing something right, too—how else would he find himself posing as an extra in a women's lingerie catalog?
Whether chilling in the boudouir, prepping breakfast in bed for his partner in crime, or participating in full-contact sports (pillow fight—what did you think?), he proves that what you wear behind closed doors should be just as on-point as the rest of your wardrobe.

Bend veterans behind bars get help via webcam
Deschutes Co. Jail pilot program first of its kind in Oregon
BEND, Ore. - Incarcerated veterans in Deschutes County are now connecting with social workers while still behind bars. A new pilot program is the first of its kind in all of Oregon, and while the concept is simple, it's already having big impacts on locked-up veterans.
Faced with a growing number of veterans booked into the Deschutes County Jail, officialss wanted to get them help from the Veterans Health Administration.
"Mental health needs, housing needs, drug and dependency needs," Deschutes County sheriff's Lt. Scott Lutz said Wednesday.
But there was a big roadblock, Lutz says the VHA only has two clinical social workers who travel, and they're based out of Portland.
"They literally drive to all the jails to connect with veterans," Lutz said.
That meant the social workers only were able to connect with inmates in Bend about once a year. Earlier this month, an old webcam and computer were dusted off and put to good use.
"They can see you and you can see them -- it's one on one," Lutz said, showing the setup in the law library at the jail.
Now, every Tuesday, veterans can speak with a social worker more than 100 miles away. Lutz says it's much better than a phone call.
"It's a lot more personal, I think the veterans leave here feeling like they've received some type of service," Lutz said.
The pilot program already has sent one veteran on the path toward sobriety.
"He traditionally didn't want to deal with the VA because of all the roadblocks that he ran into," Lutz said. "But he was able to leave here with a really positive attitude and something to look forward to."
Lutz hopes the veteran never spends another night in a jail cell.
The program is free for veterans and the only reason other jails are not taking part is because of funding for the technology. Lutz says they were lucky enough to have the computer and webcam available.
If the program goes well, it may be expanded to other jails all over the Northwest.

2008 The making of Grand Theft Auto IV
Grand Theft Auto IV - General News | @ 08:35 AM MDT | By Neil
Over the weekend gaming site Next Generation posted the first part of an article which appears in this month's Edge magazine about all things Grand Theft Auto. The second part is now available online and spans seven pages.
"It�s very New York and it feels great. But I could go on � there�s a lot of music in the game, an awful lot, and a lot of exclusive stuff, a lot of new stuff. It has been very, very important for it to feel as �now� as we could possibly make it while still having great music. And the beauty of radio, particularly in the US, is that they play a lot of classics alongside new tracks, so when you play the game it feels like the radio feels here � you hear a brand-new record you�ve never heard before or you hear one of your favorites."If you've not had the chance to check out the magazine (it's on sale now in the UK) then this is a definite must read. Edge's writers are some of the best around and the detail provided by Sam Houser is something found in very few other publications.

Speaking Event: Challenging the Drone Wars
Is Remote Controlled Killing the Future of U.S. War? The anti-war movement says no.
A conversation with
Joe Lombardo
National Co-Coordinator, United National Antiwar Coalition (UNAC)
Leah Bolger
President of Veterans for Peace / Retired Commander, US Navy
Toby Blome
Bay Area CodePink
Our three guests participated in the 31-member CodePink-initiated October, 2012 U.S. delegation to Pakistan to meet with Pakistani anti-drone activists and relatives of the hundreds of civilians murdered by U.S. drones. The delegates visited Karachi, Islamabad and Lahore. They were turned back as they approached Waziristan -- the province bordering Afghanistan -- by the Pakistan military.
"It was good to see The Washington Post calling in an editorial ["Drone war," Nov. 2] for the U.S. government to bring its drone wars out of the shadows. But having just returned from Pakistan, where I saw the effects of drone warfare, I disagree with The Post's characterization of drone aircraft as a more "humane way" to combat an irregular army.
"People we met from Waziristan talked about how drones, constantly hovering overhead, terrorize the local population. Parents fear sending their children to school; people are afraid to attend weddings, funerals or other community gatherings. They talked about widespread psychological trauma, especially among the children.
"The editorial also played down the extent of civilian casualties from drone attacks, mentioning "scores — maybe hundreds — of civilians being killed." According to the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, whose count of drone-strike victims is widely acknowleged to be the most accurate, the total ranges from 546 to 1,105. The bureau recently examined The Post's reporting and concluded that "the paper frequently omits credible reports of civilian deaths in US covert drone strikes."
"Giving a more accurate picture of these deaths would give the public a better understanding of not only the tragic human costs of drone warfare but also why it is creating so much anti-American sentiment around the world." ~ Medea Benjamin, Co-Founder, Code Pink

Chris was the perfect host!
You cannot expect more. He was very friendly, he picked us up from the airport (!) and prepared breakfast for us - without charging.
If everyone would be that nice the world would be a better place.
5 of 5 stars!
Room was exactly the same as in pictures. We could we find juices, milk fruits and some snacks in the fridge. But what is most important Chris is a great guy who was really nice and helpful. He tried to make our life easier and gave us a lot of good advises about the city. We felt like at home and we are sure next time in Liverpool I am gonna book Chris apartment.
Our room was like it was shown the pictures, comfortable and well equipped as promised. The location of the apartment was great, good transport links.
Chris was a great host: always in a good mood, friendly and polite and very helpful... we had a great time and I can really recommend it (Liverpool and staying with Chris)!!!!
Thank you Chris for everything you have done for us!!!
Best wishes, Rhea and Hanni
Chris is a very sympathic and fantastic host. He gave us all advices for our journey and interessts, prepares fine breakfast with fresh milk delivered by the milkman at 5 a.m. and marmelades from Liverpool. The former doctor´s house can´t be more typical and much more sympathic. Unbelivable: in our room we found fresh fruits and a freshly filled refrigerator with sweeties, all sort of drinks, milk and so one. When we think back to our days in Liverpool, we think to our tours and to Chis. When we said good-bye it was somehow like leaving a friend.
We had a great time at Chris' house. Chris is very friendly and helpful. He picked us up from airport and told us useful information concerning Liverpool and all we needed during our stay.
We will definitely stay at his house again if we come back to Liverpool next time.
Chris is so great! Despite we spent only two days in Liverpool, during those days Chris made our lifes quite easy. He collected us from the station and took us back the day of departure when he didn't have to and he helped us in wathever we need. The chimney momment and breakfast time with him were just wonderfull (thank you so much Chris!). The house is large and nice and beakfast is huge with a lot of things to choose. We would definetly go back to Chris house whenever we get back to Liverpool.
Chris was a very friendly and helpful host. Picked us up from the station, gave us lots of tips about stuff to see etc.
House is great, nice clean, quiet room with everything you could need.
My first Wimdu experience, and a very positive one.
Chris is the best landlord you can have! :) He is very friendly, polite and He helped me with everything. I felt at home there! Room are very comfortable, bright and warm. The accomodition is near bus station, train station and supermarket. I think I return soon there! :)
La casa no está situada en el centro de Liverpool, está a treinta minutos en bus desde liverpool One. La casa en si no está mal, para mi gusto la calefacción estaba muy baja, tuvimos que dormir con 4 mantas...
El lado bueno, es que Chris es muy atento, se ofreció a irnos a buscar al aeropuerto, y a llevarnos. En la habitación hay una nevera donde tienes zumos, y leche. Además de una bandeja de fruta fresca.
Chris ist ein sehr aufmerksamer und guter Gastgeber. Wir waren vier Tage in Liverpool, er hat uns viel über Liverpool erzählt, alle notwendigen Infos zur Infrastruktur bereitgehalten, hat Taxis gerufen, bei einer Buchung geholfen - einfach prima. Im Haus hat uns sehr die unkomplizierte Atmosphäre gefallen - die Gespräche mit Chris und den anderen Gästen. Im Zimmer ein gefüllter Kühlschrank mit Getränken und Obst. Gutes Frühstück!

Hospital food: 'medium risk' of malnutrition
Jamie, you did an amazing job changing school meals for the better in the UK and you're working on other great causes too. Lots of people here have mentioned hospitals already, but I just want to add to that.
My 88 year old Gran has been in and out of hospital since March this year following heart failure and various falls following that as she has become weak and unsteady on her feet since the first stint in hospital this year.
She desparatly wants to get better and stronger and get home to her beloved bungalow and stay there, but one of the things I'm sure is preventing her is the food she is serverd up in hospital.
Yesterday she didn't eat her Sunday lunch because the meat was too tough and the vegetables too hard - every day there is something that is stopping her from eating what she is given.
She's been in hospital for two weeks so far (this time) and seems to be living on a diet of porriage for breakfast, a few mouthfulls of her lunch and watery looking soup and a bread roll for tea.
Her diet is supplimented with with the various things that friends and family bring in.
I looked at the chart at the end of her bed and it said 'medium risk' under malnutrition! How bad is that???
I don't understand how hospitals can get away with serving any patient substandard food when this so clearly has an impact on health and wellbeing. Having good quality food and a balanced diet in hospital may cost more, but it must make savings elsewhere - perhaps people getting better quicker and leaving hospital sooner!
The nurses have admitted to the food they serve patients being pre-prepared, shipped in and reheated - something I find incredibly hard to understand in an establisment so big (I'm talking about Peterborough City Hospital) - surely it should have its own kitchen serving fresh food?
Help please.

Re: Hospital food: 'medium risk' of malnutrition
Oh sweetheart, it's a great big bag of worms.................& I am sorry your gran is in the middle of it.
The pen-pushers (of which there are thousands throughout the health service) are in charge of the money, & they rarely if ever see a patient, which is good for them as that way saying, 'cut food budgets' isn't going to trouble their finer feelings overly much.
There are more unproductive senior admin people taking too many salaries out of the pot for there to be any drastic changes in food (or indeed any other service) standards. They all shriek, 'Budgets' at us when we push for better, & then run away & hide behind each other.
All you can do for Gran is to keep taking in what you can, & making sure it's as nutritious as possible. You might need to do a little research as to exactly what will be the best food for her condition..........Age Concern can be helpful if Gran's dietary needs aren't directed by her medical ones. Is there a dietition at hospital you could talk to? Remember for an elderly lady, the foods you are taking her might not actually be the ones she needs, so it is worth enquiring.
If you want to let off steam or want some recipes for something to tempt her appetite, please come back & talk to us. We are happy to help if we can.

Re: Hospital food: 'medium risk' of malnutrition
I remember reading about dr. Schweitzer in Africa and the people who gathered in his hospital to be seen by him, often the whole family with chickens or goat stayed there to nourish the ill relative ..... this happened in the past age and in Africa, it has something geniale and so simple which makes me think
come back and tell us if you changed even a little thing just asking

Re: Hospital food: 'medium risk' of malnutrition
I watched Heston in kids hospital, amazing only the staff got a descent 'ish meal. He proved it could be done though. THe kids enjoyed his meals, the staff got more involved.
I ate at Royal Hospital Road London next to a Royal Hospital, home of the amazing Chelsea Pensioners? A land fit for heroes? I wonder? Young people might ask older generation about this. Politicians hang your heads in shame!
