st: ytitle suboption -valuelabel-: how to label using the text from a variable
Thu, 19 Oct 2006 07:20:42 -0700
Roger, I'm sorry I wasn't clear in my question.
Now I realize that what I would like to do is label each of the -rcap- whisker bars from the graph below with the text contained in a variable <idstr>. I have seen in -whelp axis_label_options- that one can manually specify text, but don't see how to specify text from a variable.
In reply to your second query, the -ylabel()- option has a -valuelabel-
suboption, allowing you to type
ylabel(1 2, valuelabel)
which should cause value labels to be printed.

The streets were jam-packed as usual for New Year's Eve along all the typical hot spots, but paramedics and cops reported a quiet night as Key West brought in 2013.
"We certainly had very large crowds, especially on the 200 block of Duval at Sloppy Joe's and 700 block, where Sushi fell in her shoe, but overall there were no major incidents and very few arrests," Police Chief Donie Lee reported on US-1 Radio after the festivities. "Everyone seem to be having a good time and rang in the year the right way."
The crowds on New Year's Eve don't measure up to the massive hordes drawn downtown for Fantasy Fest, but police still have their hands full, Lee said.
"Our primary goal is to keep people safe, and when people get out of hand, we usually ask them to settle down first and typically we get compliance," before any arrests are needed, Lee said.
Meanwhile, Care Ambulance Service brought in two extra trucks with additional paramedics, but luckily they weren't needed, said Operations Manager David Erwin. There are typically three ambulances working on a weekend night, but on New Year's Eve, Erwin assigned five total.
Erwin reported no major alcohol-related illnesses or incidents that required medical attention.
"I would even say it was tamer than in years' past," Erwin said. "We always have our fair share of people who have had too much to drink who wind up in someone's backyard who doesn't belong there."
Erwin reported "a rash" of drunken people who paramedics assisted, but didn't need to transport to Lower Keys Medical Center.
"We did a lot of directing people to where they could get a free ride to their motel," Erwin said, laughing.
Meanwhile, Monroe County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Deputy Becky Herrin also reported no major incidents. There were a few domestic-related batteries, but no one seriously injured.
There was a man on Stock Island lying naked on U.S. 1 near the Key Haven boat ramp who was taken to jail, but overall it was a quiet night in the county, Herrin said.
"We had our usual number of reports, but it was all minor, fortunately," Herrin said.

Has anyone purchased this option if so does it help the overall quality of the speakers (ive heard theres a built in amp in the sub?) Also if you buy this from the dealer does it come with the harness to run it to the head unit?

I think if they set up an array of microwave emitter stations along the border, no one would be able to even get close enough to cause havoc. It's an effective non-lethal approach that would act as an invisible fence. Would they actually use such a tactic? Nope. Gotta' have those "stealth" votes, after all.
Thanks to O and Holder, the border patrol agents can't use their guns. How about pepper spray???

Crews continue road work as possible refreeze looms
GREENEVILLE, Tenn. - For some drivers, not going out on the roads today wasn't an option because they had to go to work -- that includes our crews, who checked on conditions in Greeneville.
The roads are just wet right now and police say the number of crashes dropped off drastically since noon today. But the next worry is the road refreezing overnight.
That could mean more problems for drivers, especially those who have to hit the road to work.
Tonya Simmons works at the Hampton Inn in Greeneville. "We've seen a couple cars spin this morning, but nothing too major," she told us.
The freezing rain moved into the region quickly. It wasn't long before ice covered cars, parking lots and side streets. "It was raining and sleeting on my way into work," Simmons said. "It was freezing on my windshield as I came in."
Simmons tells us the key to getting to work in this weather is going slow. "We're not used to this at all, but I think we're handling it up here," she said.
The Greene County Sheriff's Department and Greeneville Police Department tell us there were more than two dozen crashes before noon Friday. "[Crews] were up and at 'em at 6 a.m. I was in at 3 a.m., checking the forecast to see if we needed to come in earlier," road superintendent David Weems said.
Some roads were even too much for the advanced drivers. "I've had two trucks slide off the road because of the ice so we have to bring the trucks in and put chains on them," Weems said.
As temperatures flirt with the freezing mark officials warn drivers about the roads refreezing. With this much ice on the trees the possibility of power outages is also a danger.
"If we do have large scale power outages, or if it goes out for any length of time, we'll have our special needs people taken care of and to a shelter," said Bill Brown, Greene County Department of Emergency Management director.
Bill Brown and David Weems, who both work for the county, tell us in the past two weeks they've gone from flooding to freezing, and they're ready for whatever else Mother Nature brings their way. "[I've had] not a lot of sleep in the past couple weeks, but that's what we're here for -- to help people. We'll continue to do that," Brown said.
So far no power outages have been reported.
We learned that as long as the temperatures stay above 25 degrees, road crews will continue to use salt to treat the primary and secondary roads.

"My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic is an animated television series that premiered on October 10, 2010, on the United States cable network The Hub.Hasbro Studios and DHX Media's animation studio in Vancouver (formerly known as Studio B Productions) produce the series, which is based on Hasbro, Inc's My Little Pony line of toys and animated works. ...
The show follows a studious unicorn pony named Twilight Sparkle as her mentor Princess Celestia guides her to learn about friendship in the town of Ponyville. Twilight becomes close friends with five other ponies: Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie. Each represents a different face of friendship, and discovers herself to be a key part of the "Elements of Harmony". The ponies share adventures and help out other residents of Ponyville, while working out the troublesome moments in their own friendships." - Wikipedia
Hey lacquerheads!
Here's another show-inspired nail art - My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. Most of you might like this post. Less words, more visuals. I grew up watching the original animated series on TV back in the 80's, and had a few of the toys and merchandise. Being a typical little girly girl, the sweet, cute, positive and magical world of MLP was instantly a hit with me.

Fast forward (too) many years later, a nail polish collection by Rainbow Honey (inspired by the latest series), an indie polish/ cosmetics brand, was an instant attraction for me. That's putting it mildly actually; I'm head over heels for this new (yet to be released) collection! Check it out here!
So word is, the winners of this Blogger Nail Art Contest held by Rainbow Honey will receive polishes from this collection, ahead of the release! And I want them SOOOO badly! I hope you'll like my "My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic" inspired nail art enough to help me garner votes on their Facebook page or blog on 16th May, 2012 (details at the end of the post).
I'm quite nervous yet excited about this first attempt at a nail art contest, so here we go!
'Group' Shot
Can you guess which Pony each nail is inspired by? (Hint: Cutie-Marks)
Single Profile
I'll start in the order I did my nails...
♥ Rainbow Dash
"Rainbow Dash is a Pegasus pony and a main character in My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. She is responsible for maintaining the weather and clearing the skies in Ponyville." - mlp.wikia.com
Index finger: Inspired by Rainbow Dash

♥ Pinkie Pie
"Pinkie Pie is a bright pink Earth pony from Ponyville and one of the main characters of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. She lives and works at Sugarcube Corner, assists Mr. and Mrs. Cake at work, babysits their babies, holds parties for the various ponies of Ponyville, and goes on adventures with her friends. She is exuberant, enthusiastic, silly, talkative, jolly, and giggly." - mlp.wikia.com
Middle Finger: Inspired by Pinkie Pie

♥ Fluttershy
"Fluttershy is a Pegasus pony and one of the main characters of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. She is normally very timid, shy, kind and quiet, and is usually seen tending to her animals. She represents the element of kindness." - mlp.wikia.com
Ring Finger: Inspired by Fluttershy

♥ Applejack
"Applejack is an Earth pony and is one of the main characters of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. She lives and works at Sweet Apple Acres with her grandmother Granny Smith, her big brother Big Macintosh, her little sister Apple Bloom, and her pet dog Winona. She represents the element of honesty." - mlp.wikia.com
Image Source: Fanpop.com
♥ Rarity
"Rarity is a unicorn pony who resides in Ponyville, and is one of the main characters of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. She is the older sister of Sweetie Belle with whom she often disagrees. Rarity works as both a fashion designer and as a seamstress at her own shop, Carousel Boutique. She has a white Persian cat named Opalescence. Her personality traits consist of elegance and generosity, for which she represents the element of generosity." - mlp.wikia.com
Rarity. Image Source: Fanpop.com
I should have used a pale, dove grey, or even white. But it was originally intended for another idea, but I was out of time to redo the entire nail.
And yes, Twilight Sparkle is missing from this batch. Wish I had a sixth finger (then again, not). Plus, she's the main protagonist of the show. Here's a promise: if I win this contest, I'll do a full mani/ nail art inspired by Twilight Sparkle! Pinkie promise ;)

Dale Martin is one of the UK's top juniors specialising in employment law, regularly appearing against silks in injunctive, appellate and high value tribunal matters. Much in demand, Dale has recently featured in several high profile cases, both in his own right and led by silks within Chambers and from other sets. Increasingly instructed by blue chip firms, Dale's cases often involve individuals of very high net worth and are of unusually high value. Dale is also increasingly selected by law firms for their own litigation, enjoying a 'trusted advisor' status in difficult disputes. With a keen attention to detail and a compelling advocacy style, Dale has a formidable reputation and his practice continues to go from strength to strength.
Ranked for a number of years by Chambers & Partners and Legal 500 as a leading employment practitioner, Dale has a broadly based practice with a focus on injunctions, restrictive covenant matters, bonuses, fiduciary duties, contractual disputes, discrimination, TUPE and in mass-claimant litigation in the fields of working time and equal pay.
"Very commercial barrister who is well liked and respected by clients. He is very switched-on and provides a terrific service."
Chambers & Partners 2017
"Well versed in complex and high-value multi-claimant litigation and has a growing reputation in injunctive and appellate proceedings. He is also known by his peers for his expertise in holiday pay claims." Chambers & Partners 2017
"He not only knows his papers well but he fights for the client without ever forgetting the commercial position." Legal 500 2016/17
"Praised from all quarters for the quality of his advocacy and attention to detail. Others note the "excellent support" that he provides to clients. He is an experienced litigator in both the High Court and tribunal… he show fantastic attention to detail and is a robust advocate who refuses to sit on the fence." Chambers & Partners 2016
"He sticks by his arguments and is decisive, and he is also a pleasure to work with and very accessible." Legal 500 2015/2016
"A great tactician who is on top of the detail." "Personable and approachable, he is easy to get along with." Chambers & Partners 2015
"Extremely helpful, bright and hardworking." Legal 500 2014/5
"A highly regarded junior who often acts as lead counsel in urgent injunctive relief applications. His impressive courtroom presence was highlighted by multiple interviewees." "Dale is tactically astute and his legal analysis is clear and thorough. He is personable, approachable and reassuring to clients." "He is able to explain complex issues succinctly to the court." Chambers & Partners 2014
Dale is a "personable and able communicator" who is "incredibly diligent" and is "able to grasp complex and specialised issues very quickly" Chambers & Partners 2013
Dale "really works as part of a team with instructing solicitors, who commend him for being "a master of his papers," and "very good at delivering difficult messages to clients." Chambers & Partners 2011/12
In 2016, Dale is acting in and advising on numerous multi-party injunctive proceedings and related damages claims for breach of fiduciary duty. Dale has recently defended a search order and has acted for a claimant in a multi-party financial services injunction application. His recent injunctive work encompasses industries such as the insurance, banking and architectural fields and often involves allegations of dishonesty/fraud. This work all follows on from Dale's representation of the successful claimant (led by David Reade QC) in the landmark springboard injunction and team move case of QBE v. Dymoke [2012] EWHC 80, [2012] EWHC 116, [2012] IRLR 458 (Haddon Cave J). The case resulted in the first known order for final springboard relief consequent upon breaches of employees' duties of fidelity and breaches of fiduciary duty whilst in employment. They had already been successful in obtaining two interim injunctions prior to trial.
Having successfully resisted an injunction at the interim stage, Dale acted for the Defendants at trial in the restrictive covenant dispute in Romero Insurance Brokers Ltd v. Templeton [2013] EWHC 1198 (Sir Raymond Jack sitting as a High Court Judge). The case dealt with the correct test for repudiatory breach of contract, the alleged right to work prior to termination of employment and the approach to be taken to the enforceability of the covenants in the context of the insurance industry. The trial figured heavily in the insurance press.
Dale has also defended injunction proceedings brought against an employee recently engaged by a new business of a TV celebrity entrepreneur.
In 2016, Dale was instructed in two appeals to the EAT against an internationally renowned music industry celebrity, who kicked a long-term employee/confidante out of his inner circle. The first appeal concerned the celebrity's applications for restricted reporting orders, anonymity orders and an application in respect of the underlying discriminationtrial to be heard in private. The second concerned an appeal from an amendment application.
In 2016, Dale obtained a strike out order in respect of 763 working time/holiday payand associated claims brought in the Employment Tribunal against a major construction and highways company. He remains instructed in numerous other multiples around the UK, and has obtained strike out orders in yet further multiples. Many of the cases have TUPEcomplications and all of them rely on the ECJ ruling of BA v. Williams. Dale is currently advising blue chip clients on the consequences both of the BAcase and Lock v. British Gas.
In December 2015, Dale appeared before the EAT in the multi-party TUPE matter of Mustafa v. Trek Highways Ltd UKEAT/0016/15/BA (Simler J). The appeal arose out of Dale's successful defence of his client against an allegation of TUPE transfer/service provision change raised by 15 employees. The case arose out of a business failure and subsequent insolvency of the claimants' employer during retendering by TfL of London's road maintenance contracts. The matter has been remitted to the ET in respect of the two remaining employees in the claim.
Dale continues to be involved in multi-claimant equal pay litigation for large private sector employers (often in food and drink) and for local authorities across the UK. These claims are invariably complex cases with broad financial ramifications, often of very far reaching application and requiring long-term team work with solicitors and clients. In late 2015, Dale appeared with David Reade QC at the EAT in their successful appeal of 2 Sisters Food Group Ltd v. Abraityte UKEAT/0209/15/MC. That case established new law in relation to the approach to be adopted in dealing with applications to amend claims, particularly regarding changing the job in respect of which the claimant seeks to bring a claim.
Dale's work concerning City/financial employers, often appearing alone against a senior silk, continues to broaden. He has recently been involved in many disputes arising out of the LIBOR and EURIBOR scandal. In December 2015, he obtained a settlement for a banker client following a claim implicating the most senior members of the bank concerned. The case was substantially reported in the press. This work follows on from the obtaining of a multi-million pound settlement for a banker client against a leading international bank in December 2014. Both settlements occurred following a substantial number of hearings in private at the ET.
Dale is increasingly selected by law firms to act in respect of their own litigation, enjoying a 'trusted advisor' status in difficult disputes.
Dale acted for the bank in Portnykh v. Nomura International plc [2014] IRLR 251 (EAT) which established important new principles of wide application concerning the without prejudice rule in discrimination cases.
Dale was also retained to act for a leading broadcaster defending a much-publicised discrimination case brought by two former editors. The case was broadly reported in the national newspapers.
In 2013, Dale successfully resisted an employment training levy appeal before Edwards-Stuart J in Online Design & Engineering Ltd v. Engineering Construction Industry Training Board [2013] EWHC 287. This was his fourth successful defence of appeals brought by the Appellant, two before the employment tribunal and two before the Administrative Court (see also [2010] EWHC 2776 (Ouseley J)). Dale remains instructed in employment training levy litigation with a value of many millions of pounds.
In 2016, Dale continues to act in a multi-million pound claim for breach of warranty being brought by the purchaser of a substantial software business under a share purchase agreement.
In 2015, Dale acted for both shareholder/directors and members of LLPs alleging unfair prejudice and seeking a just and equitable winding up. Matters were settled confidentially.
Dale is currently defending multi-party proceedings relating to breach of fiduciary duty, inducement of breach of contract and conspiracy relating to the alleged 'theft' of various clients of an architecture practice.
Dale continues to advise on high value bonus and other financial incentive claims. For example, he has recently been instructed to advise on a bonus claim of a Monaco-based employee who entered into contracts with different companies within the employer group, each based in different jurisdictions around the world.
Many of Dale's cases concern breaches of fiduciary duty, not least his employee competition work, e.g. QBE v. Dymoke [2012] IRLR 458, [2012] EWHC 80, [2012] EWHC 116. The case resulted in the first known order for final springboard relief consequent upon breaches of employees' duties of fidelity and breaches of fiduciary duty whilst in employment. For similar work in an injunctive context, see above.
Mainline Private Hire Ltd v. Nolan [2011] EWCA Civ 189 Breach of contract and conversion claim against a former employee and director arising out a directors' and shareholders' dispute, following on from an earlier unfair prejudice petition.
Dale appeared before Burton J in the Commercial Court in relation to a claim of fraudulent misrepresentation arising out of a share purchase agreement. The Purchaser alleged wholesale fabrication of financial data and obtained a freezing injunction. The case was later settled on confidential terms.
Dale practices in a broad range commercial disputes and professional negligence disputes, particularly in the employment-related context. Recent cases include:
In 2016, Dale continues to act in a multi-million pound claim for breach of warranty being brought by the purchaser of a substantial software business under a share purchase agreement.
In 2015, Dale acted for both shareholder/directors and members of LLPs alleging unfair prejudice and seeking a just and equitable winding up. Matters were settled confidentially.
Dale has recently acted on behalf of a solicitor suing for fees and defending a professional negligence claim in the employment context. The case settled the day before trial on the basis of a six figure payment to the solicitor. Dale has acted on numerous similar professional negligence matters.
Dale has appeared before Burton J in the Commercial Court in relation to a claim of fraudulent misrepresentation arising out of a share purchase agreement. The Purchaser alleged wholesale fabrication of financial data and obtained a freezing injunction.

Santa Maria Jail To Expand Hours of Operation
Board of Supervisors approve $272,000 in funding to sheriff's department
SANTA MARIA, Calif. - The Santa Maria Jail will expand its hours of operation starting in January.
The Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors approved $272,000 for the sheriff's department budget.
In 2011 the Santa Maria Branch Jail's service hours were reduced due to the recession and budget constraints.
The extra money will pay for a daytime bus that will transport arrestees to the main jail in Santa Barbara. It will be staffed with both custody and sheriff's deputies. The Daytime Transportation Team begins Jan. 1, 2014.
The Santa Maria Jail will reopen to 24-hours on July 1, 2014.

No time to dawdle over the roast beef lunch. The dog will have to walk itself. And you may need to draw the curtains. This is going to be tasty. Settle back in your sofa for Rory McIlroy versus Lee Westwood. And this time, it's personal.
"It's the match I wanted. It's the match everybody else wanted. And I look forward to seeing him on the first tee," McIlroy said after seeing off Sang-Moon Bae 3&2. Westwood beat Scotland's Martin Laird 4&2.
Choose your weapon, gentlemen, please for the Gunfight at the UK Coral. There has been a frosty relationship bubbling beneath the surface between McIlroy and Westwood ever since last year's Masters. While McIlroy was suffering his Sunday meltdown, Westwood, some thought ungraciously, was not shy in pointing out that McIloy had a hook in his locker when he came under pressure. Many saw their clash of egos as one of the main reasons McIlroy left Chubby Chandler's stable earlier this year.
McIloy did his best to play down any suggestion that this will be a revenge duel in the desert. "We obviously don't spend as much time together as we used to and he is a rival, a guy who you have to beat, but it's totally fine. There's no ill feeling."
Westwood, too, said everything is fine and dandy but he didn't stop there. "Rory doesn't want to spend time with the people who manage me. And I don't want to spend time with the people who manage Rory," he said. Ouch. Take THAT.
One of them will have the chance to advance to the final and victory there will see them crowned World No 1. Westwood, of course, has already been at the summit. But for McIlroy it is uncharted territory. "The chance to go to No 1 gives the match a little bit of extra spice and edge," McIlroy said. As if there weren't enough already.
So much for Westwood's fast start plan. He lost the first hole to a Laird birdie to go behind for the first time in any match all week. He stayed stuck in neutral until the sixth when he went on a run of winning four out of the next five holes while only needing one birdie to sprint away to 3up. Laird was giving away holes to pars. The Scot pretty much punched himself out of the contest at the 14th needing three swipes to escape the sand – just a simple bunker.
McIlroy, however, got off to the perfect start. Which is just as well if you are going to dress like a tangerine. He peeled off a birdie but a bogey at the third left a nasty acid taste in his mouth. He can thank the eejit who yelled, "Get in the hole," as McIlroy sent his tee shot arcing towards the par three. It got in the hole, all right. The big one filled with water. Someone should have chucked the eejit into one of those prickly cholla bushes. Bae stayed in touch with McIlroy until the 10th but then the Northern Irishman began to put the squeeze on. Bae made a mess of the 14th and the match was over two holes later.
Meanwhile, the United States are guaranteed a representative in the final. Hunter Mahan plays Mark Wilson in the other semi-final. But no one will be watching, will they?

Back to their losing ways: Celtics fall to 76ers
|04.14.14 at 10:28 pm ET
The Celtics dropped their second-to-last game of the 2013-14 season, falling to the lowly 76ers in Philadelphia by a 113-108 count. Though Chris Johnson appeared to hit a game-tying 3-pointer near the end of regulation, the forward was ruled to have stepped out of bounds for a turnover. The 76ers added a pair of free throws to create the game's final margin.
Kelly Olynyk continued his scoring surge in defeat, with the center dropping in a career-high 28 points on 10-of-19 shooting. Jeff Green added 27, Avery Bradley scored 23 (though he shot just 9-of-22) and Rajon Rondo fell a bucket shy of a triple-double, scoring eight points, claiming 11 boards and distributing 14 assists.
The Celtics wrapped up the year with a 9-32 road record. All that remains between the Celtics and the end of the season is a home contest against Washington on Wednesday. The Celtics currently possess the fifth-worst record in the NBA; with one game remaining, they could finish with as "low" as the fourth-worst record and as "high" as the sixth-worst record.

text: Over the last fi ve years, gold has taken an increasingly prominent position in the public eye. Rarely a week goes by without this very special precious metal being mentioned in the press. The rising price of gold has been translated into renewed prospecting in Britain, most recently at Cononish and Loch Lomond in the Highlands. You can even indulge in a liquid gold body wrap for the ultimate cosmetic indulgence. The confl uence of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and the Olympic Games in London have offered an unparalleled opportunity to research and celebrate the story of Britain's largely unsung relationship with gold. Where more appropriate to stage this exhibition than the Goldsmiths' Company in London? Established by Royal Charter in 1327, the Company has been fostering the work of goldsmiths ever since. Gold: Power and Allure is the largest exhibition the Goldsmiths' Company has organised. For two months in June and July 2012, the Goldsmiths' Hall will be home to an astonishing array of over 400 golden treasures, from Cornish gold nuggets to the most recent craftsmanship, via a range of thematic displays which explore the role of gold in arenas such as antiquity, dining, fi nance and church and state. The challenge has been to draw together the many threads that make a single precious metal so special and central to human society, revealing the story of Britain's involvement in its exploitation and appreciation.Some of the highlights include a pair of basket-shaped rings discovered in 2002 beside the body of the Amesbury Archer near Stonehenge. Said at the time to have been the richest Bronze Age grave yet found in Northern Europe, the gold has been dated to as early as 2470 BC, making them the oldest gold objects yet found in Britain. Another 'fi rst' includes the earliest-known hallmarked gold to survive from this country, a chalice and paten from Corpus Christi College Oxford bearing the London date letter for 1507. The largest object ever made from Welsh gold, the Castell Carn Dochan cup, has also been lent by the National Museum of Wales. It was commissioned by Sir Watkin Williams-Wynn in 1867 and is based on a design by Hans Holbein for Left: This 1633 gold ampulla held the sacred anointing oil for the coronation of Charles I at HolyroodA golden opportunityA unique collection of items at the Goldsmiths' Company summer exhibition highlights our ongoing attraction to gold.

WTB: E36 or E46
So I'm looking for a beater/DD to take to school in St. Louis. I'll be returning to NJ on 12/18 and will be looking for cars then. I'd like to get a start on finding a few cars on the market right now.
General requirements: No accidents, no rust, manual transmission, good clutch, no convertibles
E36: Has to be <$3k.
E46: Has to be <$5k. If you show me an '02+ with lower mileage asking for more, I'd still be interested since it is a much newer car.
Nobody with a cheap E46?
I'm in the same boat as you and had a very similar budget. I just picked up an E36.
Good luck my friend, don't give up as things do come up.
I might have someone in mind.
You will have a hard time finding a cheap e46.
I know someone selling an e36.
Pm'ed you
Thanks for the help guys.
Keep the recommendations coming! I'm still looking.
the one I sent you is pretty nice. Some decent mods and is always maintained. He wants to sell it asap.
Know somebody that's selling? Refer them to me please!
You're wasting time and money looking for bmws at that price point especially with criteria such as no accidents. Start looking at accords and you'll find something much better, more reliable and easier to fix.
I've got a few BMWs that I want to look at when I return to NJ. I'm also looking at some Infinitis, Civics and Corollas around $5k.
It is tough, but some gems do pop up on Craigslist from time to time.

When the guy hit him over the head the "first time" if he didn't shoot him at that point, then he should have let it go, called the cops and reported it and let them deal with it. Taking the law into your own hands by chasing the BG down is dangerous and he is luck he didn't do serious time for manslaughter.

The only issue I have is the fact he went to his car to retrieve a firearm. At that point he became an aggressor, just like the guy who assaulted him. Both created and esculated this incident. I can easily see where both could have been charged. But state law is state law, and each deals with these cases as their laws provide. This is one lucky individual to be walking free.

I think what it all comes down to that the story didn't say was the brand of beer. There are a couple brands that I'd chase the BG for , but seeing as how it was at a circle K i doubt it would have been anything worth killing or potentially dying for.

Like I've said before, I wouldn't do - It potentially puts my family at risk (losing a father/husband), but I won't criticize those that do.
Robery and assault should be risky activities, and I'm glad there are those that make them such for the BG.

"People in Arizona carry guns," said a Chandler police spokesman. "You better be careful about who you are picking on."
A persons past convictions do not hold up as evidence in court. The fact that he has done it before or even is on the run from killing someone will not help your case! A self defense case will involve the actual shooting itself, not the BGs past. You did not know his past when you shot him, so your actions will be judged on the event itself. (Massad ayoob did a great article on this...i'll see if i can track it down). Any attempt at bringing past events up will be objected and sustained. (The BGs not on trial now, YOU are!)
Glad the bg lost as next time he could have killed, but dumb move on the shooters part and he is really lucky to have gotten away from criminal charges. Good luck with the civil ones.

I'd need to better understand the specifics before judging. I can tell you that I have no problem with going to get a defensive weapon that was left behind (ie, in the car). I don't think much about the wisdom of heading back toward a robber, but then the robber IS the bad guy after all, and he's currently engaging in a felony act of violence against innocents. The laws in my state are pretty darned clear about one's authority in such a situation. And in the end if the robber then chooses to attempt to harm me or mine, I have no problem stopping such attempts with the degree of force needed. Particularly with children, though, I highly doubt I would have turned back into the store in question. Such a scenario is potentially tricky, and depends heavily on the circumstances and timing, and on the biases/prejudices of the folks in the jurisdiction where this occurs. I can see it going either way, depending.

If you find yourself in a fair fight your tactics stink.
Whether a good idea or not, it appears to me that many do not discern the difference between reengagement in a mutual combat situation and the attempted detainment of a violent felon who has just committed two violent felonies.

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Make Your Own Gear › Anyone make a lightweight collapsible fire grate
Apr 4, 2010 at 8:01 pm #1257311
Interested in an ultra-lightweight folding wood fire cooking grate. I know I saw a commercial folding design (in SS I think) but can't locate it now.
It had hollow side support tubes and thin rods crossways – I believe…
I'm thinking to create a similar titanium tube based set with legs and enough supports that I could even use it to grill meat on (occasionally). Other than that it is mainly a pot support. I'm thinking about approx 9" x 11" – generous for 2 small pots with the ability to drop some supports if only a pot rest is needed.
Any similar designs? ideas? failures?

I assume that a titanium grill would outlast a steel grill given it's heat tolerance properties. I sure would like to find one.
After looking at small wood burning stoves for a while I decided I would rather have an open fire with a grill for cooking for several reasons.
I first tried a Coghlans Folding Pack Grill (Weight: ~ 375 grams) which worked, but I really did not like the folding style. It does not allow much in the way of adjusting the height of the grill and does not lock open, so is prone to folding and spilling your food if you are not careful.
I next tried a Coghlan's Tri-Pod Grill without the tripod. Just the grill and part of the the chain attached to a rope I suspend from an overhanging tree branch. It works well but at 18" and almost a pound it is much more than I need.
I then made a similar hanging grill using the grill from a cheap ($15.00) walmart charcoal stove and a little small chain from Lowes. The grill is 11" in diameter and the whole thing (chain, grill, rope, homemade bag, and a stake) weighs about 5 oz. I use the stake to tie the end of the rope to at the ground for convenience. The bag is essential as any grill becomes rather dirty.
I find the hanging grill system very convenient in terms of stability, and being able to adjust grill height. I also like being able to cook meat directly over the fire. Compared to wood burning backpacking stoves it is not limited by the size of wood used and has more room for cooking several things at once. On the other hand it does leave a burn spot on the soil. I guess I could add a floor like those used with the Ti-Tri system. Depending on where I am, I usually don't feel to bad about leaving burnt spots.
I have never had a hard time quickly finding a suitable branch for hanging it. Some people may also criticize having a fire near a tree. This does not seem like a system that could sell commercially, but it's what I use and I really like it.Apr 4, 2010 at 9:00 pm #1594245

GrilliputApr 4, 2010 at 9:59 pm #1594265
Ken – yes the Grilliput was exactly the design I was thinking about.
So a similar design in titanium – but ideally with adjustable height legs. I have some titanium tube already – but will need to get more – this will not be a cheap proposition due to the cost of titanium…

You could easily modify the Grilliput to have adjustable legs with some threaded rod and nuts.Apr 5, 2010 at 9:07 am #1594388
Mark AndersenMember
I was in Albertson's (grocery store) yesterday, and noticed that in the front of the store, with the other seasonal things (kiddie pools, tabletop grills, etc.), they are selling some kind of disposable grill toppers. They appear to be made of aluminum, have a diamond mesh with holes about 1/4" dia., and are around 10×13", I believe. Very light, and cost $1.59. I guess the idea is that you use them in place of aluminum foil to keep food (veggies and such) from falling through the grate on a normal gas grill. They seemed relatively sturdy, so I think you could easily jury-rig some tent stake legs for it, or even use rocks. I don't think you could roll them, since the edges are turned upward to keep food contained, but they could easily be lashed to the outside of a pack. I'll probably try to pick one up next time I'm there to experiment with. Seems like a perfect thing for grilling trout over a twig fire.Apr 5, 2010 at 11:17 am #1594442

Yes grilliput weight is too much – I had held one (unassembled) in my hand ages ago and immediately concluded (as with many things) that it wasn't a good trade-off.Apr 5, 2010 at 12:21 pm #1594480
Zack hBPL Member
Any particular reason it has to be collapsible? I have one of these…granted its not SUL nor MYOG, but maybe by looking at these designs you could get creative with something laying about. i'm not sure i see the need for legs if you can just span the grill from 2 rocks.
Just some thoughts…Apr 5, 2010 at 12:36 pm #1594484

I found one good store source for lightweight grills in the neighborhood of 1-2 ounces. Some are made from steel, some from aluminum, but none (so far) of titanium. They tend to be very inexpensive.
Daiso is the name of a Japanese "dollar store," also called a "hundred yen store." Unfortunately, the product labels are impossible for me to read (Kanji).

I made a simple, light grill out of 1/4 inch aluminum square tubing (smaller in diameter than an arrow shaft), and ultra butted bicycle spokes w/ aluminum nipples. the whole set up is pretty darn light, although I have not weighed it by itself (just in conjunction w/ my whole cook kit).
Assembly takes a minute or so, as you have to thread it all together. However, when it is packed, it is quite small and can just be shoved any old place with a few rubber bands around it.
Adjusting the height is accomplished via ever effective cave man technology: put a bigger pair of rocks under it, or a smaller pair.

Ah, I've just made a titanium grill to go with my tin can downdraft inverted something wood burning stove.
I started with a bunch of 1/16" grade 2 titanium rods, but that sucked, so I bought 1/8" grade 5 titanium rods.
I started with four rods, then three then two, then three again, which give me the stability for what I want to use it for.
The grill weighs 3 oz. with three rods and 3.75 oz. with four rods. It measures 7" X 14.25" total, 6" X 13" usable grill space and 14.25" X 1" collapsed.
The water filled pots in the photos weigh:
1) small titanium pot: 1.25lbs. about as much water as two of us use for tea and coffee preparation.
2) large titanium pot: 2.5 lbs.
3) skillet: 1.25 lbs.
Nancy and I have taken it out on a 3 day trip and will be taking it out on next week's 9 day trip.
I also did a little anodizing, which was pretty fun. I'd like to make the pieces pink or something bright. I just need more DC power than I could muster this week.Jul 15, 2010 at 9:00 pm #1629494

EA leaders agree to build oil refinery in western Uganda
Posted Thursday, April 10 2014 at 11:30
In Summary
Weekend talks end with deals for pipeline, regional oil refinery in Hoima, western Uganda.
- Security concerns, energy challenges could derail plans, official warns.
- South Sudan, Ethiopia to join deal as it dovetails with Lamu Port project.
Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda have agreed on how to set up a regional oil refinery at Hoima in western Uganda, with a pipeline being one of the deals struck in Kigali on Sunday night.
President Uhuru Kenyatta and Uganda's Yoweri Museveni joined their Rwandan counterpart Paul Kagame for talks on the sidelines of the ongoing commemoration of the 1994 genocide.
"The discussions centred on the oil refinery at Hoima," the Presidential Strategic Communications Unit said in a statement to newsrooms Monday.
"The leaders also agreed on a joint construction of a crude oil pipeline from Hoima to Lamu in Kenya."
The regional refinery and a crude oil pipeline linking Uganda's oilfields to Kenya's seaport of Lamu are among a raft of agreements that are covered in a trilateral pact signed last year.
The pact had, however, left room for the three states to decide whether to pool resources for the refinery and how to do so.
Uganda and Kenya have both confirmed commercial quantities of recently discovered oil. Both are currently sprucing up their mid-stream capacities.
Kenya closed down its ageing Changamwe-based oil refinery last year citing inefficiencies that made locally refined fuel more costly than imported finished products.
Kenya Petroleum Refineries Ltd's assets were also unusable in refining the waxy oil discovered in both countries.
The Changamwe-based facility was built to handle murban crude oil from the Middle East. As a result, regional leaders have been mulling various pipeline and refinery options for when the oil finds come online.
Experts have, however, warned that a pipeline for waxy oil is likely to be a very expensive undertaking. Concerned states will not only have to invest in an inbuilt heating system to keep the crude flowing, but also to ensure its security from sabotage.
"With the numerous incidents of terrorism and the fact that we don't have reliable electricity supply to guarantee 24-hour heating of the pipeline, we still have a long way to go," a government official, who asked not to be identified, told the Business Daily.
South Sudan and Ethiopia are expected to join the initiative at a later stage as it progresses towards the Lamu Port.

Spyker to Accelerate D8 Peking-to-Paris Sport SUV Development
After rescuing Saab from oblivion, Spyker is reportedly set to accelerate development of its D8 Peking-to-Paris sport SUV.
The D8 was first known as the D12 Peking-to-Paris when it bowed as a 2006 concept but changed its name when it swapped powerplants last year. Spyker originally introduced a 500-horsepower, 6.0-liter Volkswagen W-12 engine but has since decided on the supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 from the Cadillac CTS-V. According to Spyker CEO Victor Muller, newly acquired Saab facilities, parts, and technology were instrumental in hastening the D8's development, which had been on hold since November.
The D12 was previously priced at a hefty $281,100 and final pricing is likely to be similar. In addition to its Spyker design, the D8 carries a 4400-pound curb weight, a 0-60 mph time of less than five seconds, a top speed of 170 mph, and suicide doors.

U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said Friday that the nation needs a national policy to boost science education, especially in promoting the best ways to teach science, engineering, and math.
Duncan called for a national science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education agenda and network to develop and share effective practices, as well as reiterated a call for better trained teachers and incentive pay for science and math teachers (see here). He spoke to the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.
However, despite poor science programs in high school, according to a new report released today, interest in science among American high school and college students hasn't slackened over the past 30 years (see here). According to the Rutgers University report, U.S. colleges and universities are graduating as many scientists and engineers as ever, contradicting long-held hand-wringing from educators and employers.
The study, "Steady as She Goes? Three Generations of Students through the Science and Engineering Pipeline," was conducted with funding from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
While the data seem to skirt the issue of whether "enough" scientists are being graduated, it does indicate many of the highest performing students are choosing careers in other fields after graduation.
That could eventually hurt since, in his speech, Duncan ladled a lot onto the plates of America's young people, saying they will need to spur future advancements in clean energy, health and medicine, the environment, space exploration, food production for developing countries, and for revitalizing the American economy. How much of that gets done and how well it gets done will depend on education and specifically on math and science majors.
"We must transform education in the United States so that every student reaches higher levels of mathematics and science learning. Increasing our national performance means raising the bar and closing the gap for all students – poor, black, and Latino students – who need to not only reach proficiency but also do advanced work," Duncan said in his speech. "We know our students must get dramatically better if we're going to compete in the international economy."
Just as important as a scientifically trained workforce, Duncan said America needs a scientifically literate public able to comprehend the technological issues that will transform their lives and their environment in the coming decades.
He bemoaned lagging math improvement of students taking the National Assessment of Educational Progress (see here and the article above).
"Our 15 year-olds' scores now lag behind those of 31 countries. Four countries—Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong and Finland—outperform U.S. students on math, science, and all other subjects," Duncan said.
He called for states to enhance teacher preparation, training and pay, and to attract new and qualified math and science teachers to engage students and reinvigorate those subjects in American schools. "We support initiatives to pay more to teachers in high-need subjects like science and math, and rewarding excellence by paying teachers and principals who do a great job in the classroom," he said.
Duncan said only 23 percent of college freshman declare a STEM major. And just 40 percent of those that elect STEM majors as first-year students receive a STEM degree within six years.
Part of the solution is encouraging minority students and women to enter the sciences. "Most of our scientists and most of our STEM teachers are being recruited from a narrow segment of our population, Duncan said. "We must find a way to include the people who represent the sum of our nation's population. If we can tap into the diversity of America, we can bring fresh ideas and perspectives and perhaps new inventions to our world."
Duncan complained about time spent on science being reduced in too many classrooms because of No Child Left Behind requirements. That complaint was echoed in later comments to the President's council by a representative of the American Association of Physics Teachers.

She looked so cute.
Miss C usually goes to a Saturday class whilst Wee Z sometimes goes to a class 3 times in the week. I decided to let her try the Thursday class as it isn't usually as busy as the Saturday class.
It was mobbed!
Miss C was taken off with the rest of the white belts and some of the less experienced yellow belts and they were to practise their punching. They were paired up and the kids took it in turns to hold the punching pads whilst the others would punch the pads.
Miss C got punched by one of the boys, accidentally of course, and she started to cry. She was really upset. Her instructor took her to the side and let her have a rest and then she went back in to practise.
She cried once more during the class but didn't come running out. She stayed and kept practising hard.
At the end of the class, the kids have to sit and close their eyes to calm down and then they bow at their instructor. This is often the time when the instructors will give out tabs or new belts. Some of the kids in Wee Z's group got tabs and then it was on to Miss C's group. Miss C was the only one to get a tab. I was really pleased for her and she was delighted!

What a great article this is. It's focus is on how to shift customer's mindsets. What the author is really talking about is how to share your Future Story.
Today succeeding in business means being able to show how your product or service contributes to a better world. This is way bigger than how a product or service solves an immediate need.
There are 2 kinds of product/service stories companies need to tell:
Yet most folks only spend time on the first kind of story.
Time and again we are being shown that when businesses provide a picture about how the their offering produces a positive difference in the world, customers flock to them. And stick around.
Future Stories however are not that easy to create. Current methods like "Write a newspaper article about your company 5/10/20 years in the future" remain stilted and unsatisfying.
What I love about this article by Mark Bonchek is how he frames our thinking so we can write a better Future Story, and gives the steps for how to get it done.
If you follow his process, I think you will be amazed at what you produce, and you'll have a compelling terrific Future Story to share.
Story on!

Karen Dietz's curator insight, July 22, 2014 6:11 PM
Now this is very interesting. We all know that our business stories are crafted to move people to action. But how does that happen really really, and how do you measure or evaluate it?
Here comes along Participant Media, an activist entertainment company to answer these vexing questions. They are developing a measuring tool to determine emotional response and level of engagement to films (stories).
There's still a way to go, but we should keep this on our radar screen for its application to business storytelling. Learn more about what's happening, the tool they are developing, and what's in store for us in the future by reading this post.

Dog Days
Everything is going to the dogs these days, but in some cases, thats not a bad thing, especially when those dogs are suffering, whether they be homeless, mistreated or stricken with cancer. The Bow Wow Buddies Foundation, a non-profit arm of the Camp Bow Wow doggie daycare chain, is dedicated to just that brand of pup, and to that end, the organization helps dogs find homes or foster care, funds a scholarship at the CSU Animal Cancer Center, raises money for canine cancer research and even rescues street animals from abroad. Tonight the group will extend a helping paw to secondhand dogs by hosting Project RUFFway, a fashion show pairing models wearing appropriately secondhand duds with adoptable dogs wearing nothing but their own sweet personalities.
Along with vintage mutts strutting the runway, the event includes gourmet munchies, speakers and video vignettes guaranteed to pull your heartstrings with true stories about the Greekies, a slew of hard-living hounds rescued from Greece by Bow Wow Buddies, or the lovable Kramer, a golden retriever with cancer. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. at Mile High Station, 2027 West Colfax Avenue, for the 7:30 show; for tickets, $25 (or $100 for a VIP package that includes a pre-event reception), go to www.bowwowbuddies.com.

Steamboat Springs Steamboat Springs City Council members gave an informal go-ahead Tuesday to forming a four-member task force to address how local fire and emergency services are managed.
Steamboat Springs Area Fire Protection District board of directors President Kathy Connell suggested forming the task force in her response to a recent consultant's report about local fire and emergency services. Acting Public Safety Director Joel Rae and acting Deputy Fire Chief Mel Stewart also provided a response to the consultant's report.
Connell said solving the governance issue is the first thing the city and district need to do.
"We just must get this done," she said. "And we must take care of these professionals who put their lives at risk and go out at all hours of the night to save people who visit our community, as well as our locals."
The district contracts fire and emergency services for the area that surrounds Steamboat. The city and district had been discussing the governance issue last year when the groups decided to hire a consultant to evaluate local fire and emergency services. A representative from the consultant presented the report Jan. 17.
Connell and city officials have said solving the governance issue would lead to more efficient fire and emergency services.
The task force idea enthusiastically was supported by members of the City Council. Several had said solving the governance issue was the most important of several fire-related issues the City Council previously identified as a priority for 2012.
"Let's get cracking," said City Council member Kevin Kaminski, who along with City Council President Bart Kounovsky will represent Steamboat as members of the task force.
Fire District board member Allan White will join Connell on the task force.
After the meeting, Connell said she would make calls Wednesday to arrange the first meeting but hoped it could take place next week.
Kounovsky said he hoped the city and district could work out the governance issue by the end of July.
After the reports, General Services Director Anne Small presented a salary survey comparing Steamboat Springs Fire Rescue employees' pay with that of 11 other agencies and municipalities.
Small said that many of the positions evaluated were different from those in Steamboat but that the survey revealed the median salary for local firefighters/emergency medical technicians with basic certifications was $47,522, nearly 6.3 percent less than the median salary for the equivalent position at other agencies and municipalities. The disparity grew for higher-qualified firefighters.
Small is preparing a survey for all city departments, which is expected to be completed by May. At that time, firefighters will be included with the rest of city employees to create a pay plan that will be considered as part of the 2013 budget.
Also Tuesday, council members were scheduled to discuss privatization of ambulance services. After Connell, Rae and Stewart recommended against doing so in their responses to the consultant's report, Kounovsky informally polled the five City Council members at the meeting, who agreed they didn't need to discuss it.
Council members Kaminski and Cari Hermacinski left the meeting early.
City Council member Sonja Macys said she was "overjoyed."
"That's been a significant concern of mine ever since I heard about it," she said.
Also Tuesday, the City Council:
■ Approved, 5-0, first readings of ordinances to implement a one-time $25 sales tax application and $25 special-activity fee. Council members will consider second readings in March.
■ Heard a sixth-month update about the city's revised noise ordinance. Rae said of the 40 complaints, only three were downtown. He said that only one of those was significant and that it was mediated quickly.
The revised ordinance capped a year of discussion about how the city should address complaints from downtown residential property owners that nighttime noise coming from bars and entertainment venues is sometimes too loud. The ordinance increased the allowable noise level from 55 to 60 decibels during nighttime hours, which were defined as being between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m.
"In my opinion, it's working, and we don't have a lot of problems to report," Rae said.
■ Reviewed the next agenda. Kounovsky reminded council members that they meet next Tuesday but said the agenda should be light.

19 Mar Wine Connoisseur Crash Course from Brancott Estate
Any sartorial male worth his salt – and his suit! – should know a lot about wine… right?
Well it has been a man fantasy of mine at least.
Standing there once at a charity do, I was rocking the KG shoes and suave attire but at the bar I was lost like a little kid. Enophiles left and right were stunning the on-looking femmes, who were throwing sexy eyes at any mention of a crisp Sauv Blanc or robust Spanish Rioja.
I like to think I know my beers, bourbons and vodkas because (unfortunately) a not-so-long-ago stint at Uni has left me a specialist of nothing more than heart-attack-inducing Vodbulls and chunder-imminent lager-bourbon chasers…
Wine… Is that our seminar tutor tomorrow?
OK so maybe I'm not that uncultured – I do know a little about wine.
My six-year stint as an Italian sous-chef had me tasting any reds and whites that dripped, dropped and glugged into a pan (for fuel, not for taste!) and our resident sommelier had departed a few words of wisdom, but I just couldn't get it to stick or sound expert enough…
To blag it as a graduate high-flyer, you've got to know your plonk you plonker!
So What I need is a cheat-sheet – a dummies-guide du vin – a blagger's book of phrases.
Fortunately, wine specialist Brancott Estate was willing enough to take me through it all. Brancott has just launched a premium bespoke accessories collection perfect for budding wine connoisseurs. The 100% sterling silver range, which includes of a pair of classy chic men's cufflinks, have been designed to reflect the natural beauty of New Zealand's landscape and celebrate the pioneering spirit of Brancott Estate, the creators of the original Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc wine.
But with those cufflinks, you're going to need some knowledge so they talked me through some basics…
"Did you know that you can serve white wine over chilled?" they told me. "A wine served too cold can lose a lot of its character, particularly with respect to aroma. White wines are best served at around 8ºC so an hour in the fridge door will be plenty! The old myth that reds should be served at room temperature isn't entirely correct; reds are at their most expressive and best served at around 15ºC."
Before Dinner:
When serving wine before dinner, I am told to "start with something light and fresh. It shouldn't be too serious or overpowering as your aim is to enliven their palates not overwhelm them! You want a drink you can sip easily whilst catching up. For a white wine I would recommend a fruity Sauvignon Blanc and for a red a subtle Pinot Noir."
As blokes we love a bit of the red meat. But "if your having the lads around for a steak evening how about swapping beer for a serious red wine which will stand up to and compliment the meat. It's true to say that a glass of Malbec with a good steak, prepared simply, with nothing more than salt as a seasoning, is one of the world's great food and wine matches."
"When it comes to celebrating anything with bubbles should be served in long-stemmed flute or tulip shaped glass. These are designed to enhance the flow of bubbles and to concentrate the aromas of the wine. If you want to take it one step further a crystal flute is best as the rougher glass causes the Champagne to bubble and fizz more. Not only do the extra bubbles look great they release more of the Champagne's flavours."
The folks at Brancott Estate were kind enough to let me loose on some of their own specialty wines. With wine in mind, I set about applying my skills to some tasting and dinner-matching…
A Brancott Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2010 from New Zealand (still a baby in the wine business) was crisp, sharp but punchy. I would recommend sipping a glass before a meal where citrus, grapefruit and tropical fruits play lightly on the palette. Nothing too overwhelming save for the smell, which doesn't offend. At £8.99 a bottle, it's a delightful and delectable little starter wine.
The Jacob's Creek Regional Reserve Barossa Shiraz 2007 was definitely a main-course wine. From Australia – a king of the vineyard industry – there were essences of plum in this full-bodied and powerful spicy number. Would work with braised lamb shank or a seared red-eye steak.

Oconomowoc Memorial Hospital has become the first hospital in Wisconsin to receive the prestigious Press Ganey Summit Award for excellence in emergency care five years in a row.
Summit Award winners set themselves apart by demonstrating their dedication to excellence in the quality of care as well as employee and physician satisfaction.
"Our culture of care is one in which we are dedicated to providing the best experience possible for every patient," said Tim Westlake, M.D., medical director of Oconomowoc Memorial's emergency department. "We consistently hear from patients that Oconomowoc Memorial is the hospital they prefer to go to when they need emergency care."
Hospitals must sustain patient satisfaction scores at the 95th percentile or higher during three consecutive years to qualify for the Summit Award. Oconomowoc Memorial Hospital's emergency department also received the award in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011, which means it has maintained a high satisfaction ranking every year since 2005. The scores indicate that Oconomowoc Memorial's emergency department was rated higher by its patients than 95% of the hospitals in the nation, according to patient surveys conducted by Press Ganey.
For more than 25 years, Press Ganey has been the industry's recognized leader in health care performance improvement. Press Ganey partners with more than 10,000 health care facilities, including more than 50 percent of U.S. hospitals, to measure and improve the quality of care. The company's databases are the largest in the industry, and allow facilities nationwide to benchmark their results against peer organizations.
Oconomowoc Memorial Hospital is a 76-bed acute-care hospital located in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin. The emergency department cares for approximately 13,000 patients a year. Oconomowoc Memorial is part of ProHealth Care, an integrated health system that includes three hospitals, physician clinics, a health and fitness center, home care and hospice, and senior living facilities.

We MOVED.....across the hall. In a very exciting weekend, we moved from apartment 203 to 206 (this took a long time ,its harder than you think to move across the hall..). The new apartment is fab, and much quieter, except our bedroom windows face over a side street and we still get crazed sound trucks driving past from early in the morning.
Osaka got its first typhoon warning for Saturday 31 May. School - meaning my work and most shops issued closed notices for Sat. (Yes, Japanese kids go to school on Saturday.) This is the first typhoon for both of us so we were running around excited all Friday, even stocking up on food items, just in case - we didnt want to get caught short with no snickers bars!! Much to our disappointment, the typhoon weakened well before Osaka and Sat ended up being hot and sunny. But don't worry, apparently there will be many more typhoons this summer, and next time we will be even more ready.
