Avoid this place at all cost. The completely incompetent and wholly dishonest and delusional owner - "Duck" has stolen my classic motorcycle and also in the end when I called and deliver my bike back to me - he informed me that he had vandalized/damaged my bike.
Over 5 months ago Duck promptly picked my bike up form my house to do what should have been a simple fix. He was supposed to get my bike in working order for me. He diagnosed the problem as the carbs (A job that should take a week at most) This was in late May.
In the middle of June Duck requested money for parts. I promptly paid him a deposit. In late July I had not heard anything from Duck - HE WILL NEVER COMMUNICATE WITH YOU - COMMUNICATION WILL BE A 1 WAY STREET. I called him in late July - 3 months in - HE HAD THE BIKE 3 MONTHS...he said he didn't even have the parts.. [continued below]....

Amazing Service
SUBMITTED: Friday, October 11, 2013POSTED: Friday, October 11, 2013
I have been taking my 1978 CB750k there since right after they opened. I have never had a bad experience with the owner and would recommend his work to anyone and everyone. The cost, communication and service have been nothing short of amazing. The owner Duck has even gone out of his way to show me how to perform basic maintenance on my own bike after hours at his shop. The atmosphere in this place is amazing and you feel like family the second you walk in. This place was and is the best shop I have ever been in. I will continue to take my bike here and will tell everyone I know that they should too. The owner even went so far as to provide me with proper riding gear when I came in because I was riding in jeans and tennis shoes. The guys in here not only showed me maintenance but tought me about riding on the road. I don't know how many times I have been in the shop and people have come in with minor problems and Duck fixed them right there on the spot for no charge, heck I have seen him not only fix someone's bike but offer them a free soda or coffee right after. I am not sure what this other person experienced but it is not the same level of service that I have experienced or seen.

Big-Top Brothers
The name might not be familiar to circus laymen, but the Vazquez brothers are like the Ringlings of Mexico, founding a circus in 1969 with nothing but a handmade tarp and rented equipment and emerging as one of the most powerful entertainment brands in their country. After nearly four decades of wrestling alligators, bringing the first baby gorilla to Mexico, and staging elaborate productions of Star Wars, Tarzan, and Planet of the Apes, Circo Hermanos Vazquez finally made its Miami debut in 2008. Now operated by the third generation of the Vazquez clan, the circus will return to the Adrienne Arsht Center (1200 Biscayne Blvd., Miami) for a two-weekend run of its latest extravaganza, which includes animal trainers, ballet dancers, an ice show, clowns (who appear no less scary south of the border), gymnasts, trapeze artists, daredevils, jugglers, a "Pork Chop Revue" of adorable piglets, pole dancers (not that kind), and a seven-piece orchestra. Many of them dress like a '50s sci-fi television costume designer's idea of the future; luckily, it's not a fashion show.

If you're a Baby Boomer who hasn't reached retirement age but are physically or mentally disabled and can't work, you're far from alone. Millions of American workers already get Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), a number which tripled from 1970-2009, with an especially high rise since late 2007.
This increase involves many workers losing employment in a down economy and then failing to find new jobs. It's also due to many Baby Boomers (born from 1946-1964) suffering disabilities before reaching retirement age. (Today's youngest Baby Boomers are 52.)
Indeed, there's an SSDI boom for Baby Boomers. They seek such benefits if they can't work due to disabilities yet haven't reached 66, the current age to qualify for full Social Security retirement benefits.
Today, around 8.5 million workers receive disability benefits, with the average age of disabled workers being 53, and the average monthly benefit being $1,070.20.
But despite those millions of recipients, as many as 60 percent of SSDI claims initially are turned down by the Social Security Administration (SSA), often due to technicalities in an overloaded system.
How overloaded? In July of 2015, Social Security Commissioner Michael J. Astrue said in testimony to a House panel, "We received 130,000 more hearing requests in 2010 than we received in 2008." That means many more people made claims –which means many more people were denied.
What happens after denial? An appeal hearing before an administrative law judge often is the next step. To claim the disability benefits you legally deserve, an SSDI lawyer with Jim Adler & Associates can represent you at such a hearing or before an appeals council of the SSA.
Your disability lawyer can prepare you for any statements you may be asked to make at a hearing, or may call such witnesses as former employers or medical professionals to speak on your behalf. In part via help from SSDI attorneys, persons whose disability claims were denied are approved on appeal in over 60 per cent of cases nationwide. Though it's no guarantee, it clearly helps.
SSDI benefits are in the multi-billions. According to the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), in a recent year $124 billion in Social Security disability benefits were paid. That was 18 percent of all Social Security benefits, including retirement benefits.
But increases in benefits and in SSDI applicants don't mean your application can't prevail. An Adler SSDI attorney can help you tackle the red tape when making your initial application, and later can represent you if your application is turned down.
That may help speed what can be a lengthy process to get a claim approved. The waiting time for approval of SSDI benefits can be long, though it's dropped by almost a third in the past three years, from an average wait of over 500 days to 353 days last summer.
The SSA has tried to hasten the application process in several ways, including hiring additional judges and also fast-tracking applications for 113 medical conditions under its Compassionate Allowances program. Those conditions include specific brain disorders and cancers. Thus, persons with more severe and immediate needs may not wait as long.
Keep in mind that when your claim is approved, you receive SSDI back-payments for the time you waited and weren't paid while your application was evaluated. The wait for payments doesn't mean you'll lose money in the end.
Again, when you reach full retirement age, you can receive Social Security retirement benefits instead of disability benefits. SSDI is designed to help people reach that point when they're not yet retirement age but cannot work.
If you'd like to learn more, please contact an experienced disability lawyer with Jim Adler & Associates for a free legal review of your case. Then we can help you navigate a complex system to claim your benefits.
Plus, you won't pay your disability lawyer, since we'll only be paid by the SSA itself.
Contact us today. We're here to help.

LASIK Eye Surgery Questions and Answers Archive
Q&A: Do doctors in Canada have to have the same qualifications as ones in the US and are there statistics on safety and effectiveness?
My wife is considering traveling from Seattle to Vancouver, BC for lasik surgery. Do you know of any specific resources where I can find statistics on the safety and effectiveness of the procedure in Canada versus the US? Do doctors in Canada have to have the same qualifications as doctors in the US?- James
You have entered an area where it will be hard to compare apples to apples so to speak. Inportant things to ask about are experience ( more than 300 cases done), size of the optical zone of treatment( I have seen 5.5 mm patients from Canada. We use 6.5 in the USA...smaller is likely to produce more haloes at night.). In the USA, the FDA dictates what type of eyes we can operate on. There is nothing regulated in Canada, so many patients who are pushing the limit would be operated there, while here in the USA, they would not be considered good candidates. Some doctors in Canada have done LASIK for years, as have some in the USA. Others there and here have just started, and have limited experience. That is why you need to ask those questions. One more point for your wife: you will have no legal recourse as a USA citizen in Canada if the issue of Malpractice arises. My advise for my patients is to consider this, and the fact that they will have to return to Canada for enhancements, complication management, at possibly followup care. What do those trips cost in terms of time off of work, mileage, hotels, etc. Go to www.isrg.org for a site with good information. Thanks
-- Calvin Sprik, M.D.
Stevens Point, Wisconsin
Q&A: What is a reasonable amount of time after LASIK eye surgery for your vision to stabilize and then consider if enhancement is needed?
What is a reasonable amount of time for vision to come in extremely clearly after a LASIK procedure? When does a patient need to consider having an enhancement procedure done on an already-operated on eye? Thanks- Wendy
It takes about 3 months to reach your final vision after LASIK. If the vision is not clear at that time, then you should consider an enhancement. Andrew Caster, MD

Q&A: Am I a candidate for LASIK eye surgery if I am nearsighted (od -125-25x180 and os -100 sph)?
I have a prescription of od -125-25x180 and os -100 sph. Am I a good candidate for Lasik to correct my nearsightedness?- Randy
You might be a candidate for LASIK or Intacs. The only way to know for sure is to have a consultation.
--Byron Stratas, M.D., F.A.C.S.
Wilmington, North Carolina
Q&A: What is the total price for LASIK eye surgery for eyes with -4.25 / -5.25 plus minor astigmatism?
What is the price for the treatment of 2 eyes, LASIK. -4.25 and -5.25 plus a minor astigmas ?? eyes in good condition all ready checkt in hospital. Coming from Netherlands, and I hate waitinglist ! Thanks, ton veen, holland
The total fee, including all medications, etc. is $4800. I know that you will be very happy with your result. Andrew Caster, MD
--Andrew Caster, MD, FACS
Beverly Hills, California
Q&A: What is the success rate of LASIK? What is an average cost of this procedure?
What is the success rate of LASIK? What is an average cost of this procedure?- Antonyette
The success rate may vary from surgeon to surgeon. Also, statistics are good for general information but cannot be applied to a particular individual. There can be no guarantee. Having said that: over 98% of our patients see 20/20 or better after surgery.
--Byron Stratas, M.D., F.A.C.S.
Wilmington, North Carolina
Q&A: Why do the prices fluctuate so much in PRK and Lasik? Why is it so much cheaper in Canada? Are they less qualified?
Why do the prices fluctuate so much in PRK and Lasik? Why is it so much cheaper in Canada? Are they less qualified? I heard people pay as little as $1,000 and are satisfied. Do you know how I could find a good Dr. at the lowest price?- Joe
Prices vary in this surgery, just like they vary for everything else in life. And, in general, when you get the lowest price, you generally don't get the best quality. There are lots of quality decisions that each doctor and laser center must make -- do we buy the expensive drops, or the cheap ones? the expensive drapes, or the cheap ones? Since it is impossible to undo the surgery if you are not happy, I would suggest shopping for quality, not price.
--Andrew Caster, MD, FACS
Beverly Hills, California
Q&A: Do I wait or need to take action if I had LASIK, experienced double vision, had obliteration correction and now have triple vision?
I had the LASIK procedure performed in November. After 2 weeks, I had double vision in my left eye and was told I had an obliteration that needed to be corrected. I had a second surgery on the left eye. My dr. tells me the obliteration is corrected and my vision is 20/40 in the left eye, but I have triple vision. He told me that this was due to the amount of reconstructive work which was performed and that the surface of the cornea is irregular, but will heal itself with time -- usually 3-6 months. Does this sound accurate?- Linda
It may be, but is dependent upon topography. This is clearly an irregular result, but all you can do is wait for the present.
--John D. Zdral, M.D.
Fullerton, California
Q&A: Can LASIK eye surgery eliminate the need for reading glasses if I am over 40 years old?
Is the over 40 need reading glasses problem. can it be corrected by this laser surgery??- CURTIS
Dear Curtis, The reading problem can sometimes be corrected with Lasik. You would need to have an eye exam (usually free) with the surgeon of your choice before it can be decided for sure if you could be treated. Sincerely, Alexandra Chebil M.D. The Lasik Center, Irvine CA (800)841-3717
--Alexandra Christine Chebil, MD, FRCSC
Irvine, California
Q&A: What is the worst case scenario that can happen in LASIK eye surgery?
What is the worst case scenario that can happen in lasik surgery? and are there cases where you need a corneal transplant, and if so what are the statistics of that happening?- Marcela
Dear Marcela, The worse case wuld be a corneal infection, resulting in scarring with blurred vision. A corneal transplant would probably be necessary- chances are probably less than .01%. Sincerely, Dr. Alexandra Chebil M.D. The Lasik Center (800) 841-3717
--Alexandra Christine Chebil, MD, FRCSC
Irvine, California
Q&A: Who has the best reputation for LAISIK eye correction and what is the best equipment?
1)Which place in the world got the best reputation for Laser Cor', 2) And what is the best instrument using for Lasik Cor' Thanks, Dror
Dear Dror, I am not aware of any center with the best reputation, although there are many excellent doctors (including myself) who obtain very good results. I personally use the"VISX" laser system, although Nidek is also very good. Every surgeon will swear by his/her own technique. Sincerely, Dr. Alexandra Chebil M.D. The Lasik Center
--Alexandra Christine Chebil, MD, FRCSC
Irvine, California
Q&A: I saw an article about a LASIK technology that tracked the laser using reference points prior to each laser pulse. Can you tell me more about it?
I'd recently seen on the news (in NYC) about an advance in LASIK technology whereby the laser is "tracked" using reference points prior to each laser pulse to attain greater accuracy. Do you know what this is called and do you know anything about this? Thanks in advance.- John
The technology you refer to is an eye tracking device incorporated into the laser system within the past year. This laser is called the Autonomous Laser, which I have access to, should you desire treatment. To schedule a consultation, please call Pam at 1-800-824-1073.

You may have noticed I haven't posted much this year. The reason is that I have been very unmotivated. I don't know why; I guess after six and a half years of writing I am running out of things to say.
I'm still here, though. I'm just working on other things at the moment.

Hi all,
a small number of the Microsoft UK team were lucky enough to be given the opportunity to fly out to the PDC this week (http://msdn.microsoft.com/events/pdc/). I am now registered, have the bag, the t-shirt, already have the presents bought for the kids and…. I am completely overwhelmed by how much material there will be covered this week. I am just creating "My Schedule" in "Internet Alley" – trying to decide which session to attend at which times. It is an impossible task! I have 5+ sessions assigned to each slot!
My interests are pretty varied at the moment – which doesn't help. After 18 months or so focused on SQL Server 2005 (and spreasheet filling – yep – I have been program managing a lot) I have missed most of Visual Studio 2005 so I have a lot of catch up to do on this huge release. But the real prob is I also know my role from January 2006 will be working with UK ISV early adopters on Windows Vista and Office 12. So that makes three significant technologies to learn in one week.Gulp!
I hope to do a few short blogs during the week on stuff which really catches my eye – stay tuned.

Oh, good. I made sense.
Perhaps the Help Desk User Authentication article was topic 5365 at one point? I dunno. I would probably have never noticed had I not been searching for that particular feature request (5365). I realize there isn't much to be done for it, but I'll keep an eye out and keep all related issues together and report any new ones I find.

Available Treatments for Addiction
Treatment options for drug addiction include organized outpatient and inpatient programs, patient participation in self-help groups, counseling and use of certain medicines. There are two basic approaches that can be used for treating drug addiction:
- Behavioral therapy
- Medications
Behavioral therapies
- Outpatient behavioral therapies
- Inpatient behavioral therapies
Outpatient behavioral therapies:
- Cognitive behavioral therapy:
This therapy is based on the principles that help the patients recognize those situations or emotions that act as triggers for the use of drugs. The patient, then, is taught several ways to avoid or cope with such situations or emotions.
- Multidimensional family therapy:
This program was specially designed for adolescence related drug addiction. This therapy focuses on improving the overall functioning of families where the addicts can talk to their families and families, in turn, provide complete psychological as well as physical support leading to the rehabilitation of the addicts.
- Motivational interviewing therapy:
This therapy is focused on those individuals who deny any kind of help. This therapy helps them change their point of view about the treatment and helps them enter into a treatment program.
- Motivational programs:
These programs use positive reinforcements to encourage a patient, helping him abstain from the drugs.
Inpatient behavioral therapies:
- Methadone (Dolophine), Naltrexone (Revia) and Buprenorphine (Buprenex) for opioid addiction.
- Nicotine patches, gums and nasal sprays for tobacco addiction.
- Disulfiram (Antabuse), Naltrexone (Revia) and acamprosate (Campral) for alcohol addiction.

How Do I Quit Smoking?
Quitting smoking is tough. Tobacco contains nicotine, which gives a temporary and addictive high. This makes smoking a physical addiction, the need of the body to get its regular nicotine fix. Nicotine withdrawals can be painful for some, but there are ways to get around it.
- Addiction
Actor Bradley Cooper recently told GQ abusing alcohol and drugs was holding him back early in his career. The Academy Award Nominee said there wasn't a moment of missing work or being late, but a sense that he wasn't fulfilling his potential that made him make a change.
- plastic surgery addiction
Many celebrities aren't afraid to share that they've had a little nip and tuck to improve their appearance, but some undergo multiple procedures just to maintain their stunning looks. For some, plastic surgery becomes an addiction and they can't stop making trips to the doctor's office for yet another procedure. Among the most popular procedures in Hollywood are breast implants, liposuction, and facelift surgery.

Bengaluru, March 17: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Tuesday paid tributes to DK Ravi, the 36-year-old IAS officer, who was found dead at his residence under mysterious circumstances on Monday evening. [Sand Mafia: How the high and mighty go untouched]
Siddaramaiah, who paid the tributes at the Victoria Hospital, expressed deep condolences to the late bureaucrat's family and friends and asked senior police officers for a speedy investigation on the case. [DK Ravi was so popular in Kolar that locals had protested his transfer]
Ravi, who was known to be a fearless officer of the 2009 batch, and had taken on the powerful sand mafia in Karnataka, was found hanging from the ceiling fan at his residence at Koramangla in Bengaluru.
Protests were staged in Kolar district where Ravi was once posted over his death and the national highway was also blocked.
Class XII board exams were also postponed because of the protests and shutdown.

Toner's that I have previously used always strip and dry my skin out. This one is so gentle but still gets the little tiny dirt that is hiding. I love using this twice and day as my final step before moisturizing.
It's an overall great product. It is soothing and does not irritate those who have sensitive and dry skin. However, I'm sure there are other products that are slightly cheaper than this and works the same. But regardless, with the ingredients you get in this bottle and the results - it's acceptable.
I love the Ultra Facial products... The toner works well with my sensitive skin. It's very gentle, removes any dirt or residue plus hydrates the face. It has a light fragrance and is calming to the skin. Good price as well
I have a very dry & sensitive skin and had tried so many different kinds of gentle & moisturizing toners.
This one does the best job! I gives me nice feeling after and my skin looks better. I like it because there is no unnecessary scent or color added too.
One of the best toner I have ever used. Kiehl's ultra facial set transform my super dry and flaky skin to a combination skin. It really works! Definitely made my face softer, hydrated, more vibrant and healthy looking.

Frank Cottrell Boyce might have written the Olympics opening ceremony and won the Carnegie medal, but the acclaimed children's novelist has said that nothing compares to the "buzz of unlimited possibility" that follows writing the words: "Interior … TARDIS".
The author and screenwriter was speaking after being confirmed as the final writer for series eight of the BBC's classic family series, Doctor Who. According to the BBC, Cottrell Boyce's episode will feature a cast of child actors alongside the Doctor, played by Peter Capaldi, including Harley Bird, the voice of Peppa Pig.
"I was flabbergasted to be asked to write an episode – partly because I've been so absorbed in the last few series that I'd sort of forgotten that it wasn't real," said Cottrell Boyce.
"Of all the thrills that pen and paper have brought into my life, there's nothing that quite compares to the buzz of unlimited possibility that rushes through your fingers and into your brain when you write the words: 'Interior … TARDIS'."
Cottrell Boyce is the author of the Carnegie medal-winning novel Millions, which he adapted into a film directed by Danny Boyle. He also wrote the script for Boyle's spectacular opening ceremony at the London Olympics in 2012, adapted the film 24 Hour Party People and won the 2012 Guardian children's fiction prize for his novel The Unforgotten Coat.
Doctor Who's lead writer and executive producer Steven Moffat called Cottrell Boyce's script "pure magic", and "everything I could have hoped for from the genius behind the Olympics opening ceremony".
"Doctor Who is born anew in the mind of a genius," added Moffat.
Cottrell Boyce joins other writers for series eight including Mark Gatiss and Gareth Roberts. His episode of the hit television show, which returns to BBC One on 23 August, will be directed by Sheree Folkson and produced by Paul Frift.

Louis Garneau Signature Optimum Shorts Women's
Constructed with nine panels of Louis Garneau's Signature Optimum fabric, the Signature Optimum Women's Shorts will provide miles of both comfort and support. Why Because this material is composed of a nylonspandex blend that's flexible, yet supportive enough to hold your muscle groups. This provides you with an ample level of support that, in turn, leads to a reduction in fatigue. The fabric is also lightweight and breathable, which aids in transferring moisture away from your skin, keeping you comfortable and dry. And, in addition to this, anatomically shaped fabric panels are joined with flatlock seams in order to eliminate irritation and to reduce chafing throughout the construction. To secure the fit, Louis Garneau incorporated an elasticized drawstring into the waist of the shorts. Furthering this idea, compressive Powerband leg cuffs keep the leg panels firmly in place without restricting circulation. And for safety in low light conditions, Garneau has also placed back and bottom reflective accents on the shorts. For further comfort, Louis Garneau incorporated its Silvercool3 chamois into the Optimum shorts. This two way stretch insert conforms to your body and is composed of multi thickness, high density foam for a precisely targeted support. The antibacterial Coolmax top sheet wraps the chamois, so you stay cool and fresh for the long haul. The Louis Garneau Signature Optimum Women's Shorts are available in five sizes from Small to XX Large and in the color Black.

Estimating length of stay in publicly-funded residential and nursing care homes: a retrospective analysis using linked administrative data sets
Utilization, expenditure, economics and financing systems
Information about how long people stay in care homes is needed to plan services, as length of stay is a determinant of future demand for care. As length of stay is proportional to cost, estimates are also needed to inform analysis of the long-term cost effectiveness of interventions aimed at preventing admissions to care homes. But estimates are rarely available due to the cost of repeatedly surveying individuals.
We used administrative data from three local authorities in England to estimate the length of publicly-funded care homes stays beginning in 2005 and 2006. Stays were classified into nursing home, permanent residential and temporary residential. We aggregated successive placements in different care home providers and, by linking to health data, across periods in hospital.
The largest group of stays (38.9%) were those intended to be temporary, such as for rehabilitation, and typically lasted 4 weeks. For people admitted to permanent residential care, median length of stay was 17.9 months. Women stayed longer than men, while stays were shorter if preceded by other forms of social care. There was significant variation in length of stay between the three local authorities. The typical person admitted to a permanent residential care home will cost a local authority over £38,000, less payments due from individuals under the means test.
These figures are not apparent from existing data sets. The large cost of care home placements suggests significant scope for preventive approaches. The administrative data revealed complexity in patterns of service use, which should be further explored as it may challenge the assumptions that are often made.
Many parts of the world are expecting increases in the number of people who require long-term social care support for activities such as bathing or dressing
Given the weekly cost of care homes (£500 a week or more depending on the type of home),
One survey repeatedly followed up 2,573 people who were admitted to a care home in 1995 and found a median length of stay 19.6 months
We develop a method using administrative data from local authorities, who pay for social care under the means-test that operates in England, rather than data from providers. Further, we use recent advances in data linkage to obtain person-level histories that span both social care and hospital care.
Study areas and cohorts
We studied social care paid by three local authorities in England: a seaside town with a population of 135,000, a rural area with a population of 750,000 and an outer London suburb with a population of 340,000. The first one has a relatively high use of care homes (residents per 1,000 people at 60 percentile nationally) while the final two have relatively low use (25 percentile). There has been a large shortfall in residential and nursing care places in London compared to the rest of the country
The data sets covered different periods in each site (December 2005 to November 2008, April 2005 to March 2008, September 2005 to August 2008). We excluded people with a record of care home use in the first three months of the data to ensure that we identified new entrants, and estimated length of stay for people admitted during the following twelve months. Using a twelve month period reduced the scope for seasonal effects. We restricted the sample to people aged 65 or over.
In England, care home placements are categorised as "residential" or "nursing", with the latter including nursing support for medical needs. Some residential placements are categorised as "temporary", which may include respite care, rehabilitation, short breaks and other care which is intended to be of a temporary nature
Data sets
We used administrative data sets maintained by the local authorities. These were extracted from operational systems such as
Social care data were linked to data on registrations with general practices sourced from local Primary Care Trusts (also known as 'Exeter files'). This was done to restrict the sample to local residents (who were assumed to be registered with a local general practice) and to people aged 65 or over. General practice registration data also included date of death. We obtained data on inpatient, outpatient, and accident and emergency hospital use from the Secondary Uses Service.
All of the data sets were "pseudonymised" before transfer to the research team, in order to protect patient confidentiality. Thus, identifiable fields (such as name and address) were removed and an individual identifier was encrypted using a hash algorithm. In two of the sites, a national unique patient identifier (the "NHS number") was available on both health and social care data sets and this was used as the basis for the data linkage. For the London suburb, we used an alternative identifier based on initials, sex, and date of birth.
These data sets were originally collected to test the feasibility of building a predictive model for social care
Person-level files were created to show individuals' pathways across health and social care and in particular admissions and discharges from care homes. We aggregated care home stays in multiple providers and stays that were interrupted by a hospital admission or a brief period outside of institutional care (lasting 30 days or less). Where a date of death was recorded in the general practice registration data, care home stays that were not already closed in the local authority system by this date were terminated.
Social care data contained all services received at any point within a three year window. We set aside the last month of the data set to ensure that discharges from care homes were not followed by a re-admission within 30 days. Thus, we were able to observe stays for between 20 and 32 months, depending on the date of admission. Longer stays were "censored" at the end of the data set, meaning that that these observations provided only partial information about length of stay. Kaplan-Meier curves were used to estimate length of stay allowing for censoring
The relationship between individual characteristics and length of stay was analysed using multivariate Cox regression,
Care home lengths of stay will tend to be correlated for individuals within the same local authority area. This could be due, for example, to intrinsic differences in policy frameworks or care home supply. To allow for these correlations, the regressions were done in a multilevel modelling framework. Specifically, the Cox regression included random effects (frailties) at the site level, which were assumed to be gamma distributed
We estimated the cost of care home placements by applying daily unit costs, allowing for changes between residential and nursing home categories over time. Unit costs were assumed to be £497 per week for permanent residential care homes and £719 per week for nursing care homes, based on fees charged in privately-provided homes, before payments made by individuals under the means-test
Care home stays were sometimes interrupted by hospital stays or brief periods outside institutional care (lasting 30 days or less). Two scenarios are presented for care home costs while outside of the care home. The first assumes that costs continue to accrue at the same rate as before; this corresponds to a bed being reserved for the individual on their return. The second assumes nil costs during the period outside of the care home; the bed is occupied with another individual or the local authority does not incur costs due to empty beds. Median costs were estimated using Kaplan-Meier curves
Across the three sites, we identified 3,421 care home admissions within the twelve-month periods selected. The biggest category was temporary residential care placements, constituting 38.9% of the sample. Permanent residential care placements made up 36.4% of the sample, with the remaining 24.7% being nursing home placements.
We observed a total of 1.0 million person-days in care homes. Across all sites, 2,755 stays (80.5%) ended within the period covered by the data set, with the remaining censored at the end of the period. A significant proportion (42.5%) of temporary residential care stays were followed by a community-based social care service (for example, domiciliary/home care or day care). Over half of permanent and nursing home stays ended in the person dying in the home or within 30 days (50.3% and 54.8%, respectively) (Table
Figure 1
Kaplan-Meier curves
Kaplan-Meier curves.
Cox regression confirmed that nursing home stays were shorter than permanent residential stays after controlling for individual characteristics (Table
The costing algorithm could be applied to 3,400 out of 3,421 admissions (99.4%). Median costs were £2,201 for temporary residential care stays, £38,624 for permanent residential stays and £29,479 for nursing home stays, when costs were assumed to continue to accrue during breaks from the home. When costs were assumed not to accrue, these figures were slightly lower (£1,917, £38,127 and £29,171, respectively).
This study has addressed the lack of information about care home length of stay by using administrative data. We found that residents often spent several years in care homes, with a median length of stay of 544.5 days (17.9 months) for permanent residential care. The biggest category of stays, however, was temporary placements, which constituted 38.9% of the total. These typically lasted 4 weeks, though 25% lasted longer than 8 weeks.
Compared to residential stays, nursing home stays were more likely preceded by emergency hospital admission (56.7% compared with 45.1%), perhaps reflecting the development of care needs requiring medical care in a care home. Stays in care homes tended to be shorter for people who had previously received domiciliary social care, although whether this was because of successful preventive care delaying admission or higher levels of need (and shorter life expectancy) was not possible to say. Women tended to have longer stays than men, perhaps because they are less likely to have a spouse at older ages
The median length of stay observed for our sample of permanent residential home placements (17.9 months, 95% CI, 16.2 to 19.3 months) was significantly shorter than that reported in the 1995 longitudinal study (26.8 months)
Compared to previous studies, the method used in the current study more clearly highlights differences in length of stay between geographic areas. These were statistically significant after adjusting for the observed individual characteristics. Compared with the other areas, a smaller proportion of care home stays in the London suburb were temporary (28.1% compared with 55.8% and 36.1%) and the median length of temporary stays was shorter (15 days compared with around a month). One explanation is that policy might be less heavily focused on the use of short-term care in the London suburb than the other areas, perhaps because of the lower levels of care home supply
Another advantage of the method is that it aggregates over successive care home placements. Compared with cross-sectional methods, we were better able to reflect the preponderance of short stays, which formed the biggest single category of stays. As we focus on cohorts of admissions rather than discharges, we reflect relatively recent policies about eligibility criteria.
The administrative data allowed for longitudinal analysis across different elements of service use, but the quality of these data were not under our control. For example, one of the Kaplan-Meier curves showed a distinct drop corresponding to 365 days, which is likely to be an artefact of the data. Further efforts might be made to increase recording of standardised measures of social care need in particular, as this will increase the usefulness of these data. Comparisons of self-report and administrative data on social care use might also be undertaken, as has happened for health services
The findings illustrate the complexity of patterns of service use. For example, discharges from temporary residential care placements were often made to community-based services. For permanent residential and nursing stays, we found a significant proportion of stays were not followed by an identified death or other service. This appears to contradict assumptions often made that people remain residents until death
The study has demonstrated one potential use of linked administrative data sets. However, the limited availability of these data sets for research meant that we were limited to three local authority areas. Although these areas included a mix of settings and rates of care home use, they are unlikely to be representative of the country as a whole. Further, it was not possible to track care home residents who began to be funded by another local authority. Therefore, the availability of nationally-collated standardised data at the person level would be beneficial.
Our findings suggest that a person admitted to a permanent care home will cost a local authority over £38,000 on average, less means-tested user payments. This figure would not be apparent from available data on service use, which is often cross-sectional rather than across the lifetime. Our findings suggest that substantial effort may be warranted into developing preventive interventions, as the cost of providing care homes is very high. However, the evaluation of interventions must take into account outcomes for individuals as well as cost and compare different alternatives. We note that the evidence for effective prevention of admission into residential and nursing care homes is often weak,
Permanent residential placements typically lasted 18 months. Therefore, a substantial proportion of current residents of care homes will continue to require support in future years. Robust data about length of stay have rarely been available, so our findings should be taken into account when planning services and in models developed for estimating future demand for services
The longitudinal data revealed substantial variations in patterns of service use between areas. These will have implications for Government policy about funding of care, for example for the feasibility of setting lifetime caps on care costs that do not vary between areas

Rod Schutt
this wiki
Rod Schutt (born October 13, 1956 in Bancroft, Ontario) is a retired professional player who played 286 games in the National Hockey League. He would play with the Toronto Maple Leafs, Montreal Canadiens, and Pittsburgh Penguins.
Schutt was a star with the junior Sudbury Wolves and a first round pick by the Montreal Canadiens in the 1976 NHL Amateur Draft. However, he would have little chance to make the Habs and was traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins in 1978.
After 3 full seasons with the Penguins, Schutt's back began to cause serious problems,. He began to split his time between the Penguins and the minors. Finally Schutt jumped to the Muskegon Mohawks of the International League in 1984 for one season and then became a free agent.
Schutt weighed offers from both the Edmonton Oilers and the Toronto Maple Leafs. Remembering his experience with the talent-laden Canadiens, Schutt signed with the weaker Leafs, hoping to get more ice time. However, the Leafs were in very bad shape and Schutt got very little ice time. He retired at the end of th 1985-86 season.

at Folsom Field • Nov. 5
Head Coach: Gary Pinkel (5th year)
2004 Record: 5-6, 3-5 Big 12
The Missouri Tigers enter the 2005 campaign as a team that is trying to regain the momentum it enjoyed during the 2003 season, when Missouri finished the regular season 8-4.
The Tigers took a big step forward defensively in 2004, finishing second in the conference in defense. However, the offense and special teams consistently faltered late in games last season, and Missouri retreated to a 5-6 mark.
The major complaint that head coach Gary Pinkel heard last season was why QB Brad Smith wasn't being allowed to be Brad Smith, and was instead, being used primarily as a passing threat. Pinkel publicly dismissed the criticism saying that nothing had changed in Missouri's offense, but that clearly was not the case. Smith, a gifted runner and always a threat to break long runs, was held to under four yards per carry in 2004. He struggled behind a young, inexperienced offensive line, but Missouri appeared to go away from the things it had done well in previous seasons offensively.
During the spring, Missouri adjusted its offense to be more attack oriented. The Tigers will run exclusively from the shotgun formation, and will use quick sugar huddles or no-huddle formations in 2005. Brad Smith will have more opportunities to run options and attack defenses with his feet when passing opportunities aren't there.
On defense, the spring produced both good and bad news. The bad news was junior 1st team All-Big 12 DT, CJ Mosley left Missouri for the NFL draft. Couple Mosley's loss with the graduation of fellow DT, Atiyyah Ellison, and DE Zach Ville, and the Tigers had to replace several players on a very effective defensive line. The good news was that Missouri appears to have quality starters and depth positions in place at linebacker and in the defensive backfield. Jason Simpson is probably the best strong safety in the Big 12 this season, and the Tigers displayed more speed at almost every position in the spring.
Scheme, or changes in scheme or emphasis: Shotgun, with elements of the QB option series. More up tempo play calling and execution.
Key returning players: Brad Smith, QB; Sean Coffey, WR; Martin Rucker, TE; William Franklin, WR; Marcus Woods, RB; Adam Spieker, C, Tony Palmer, OG.
Key newcomers: Tony Temple, RB; Louis Pintola, OL; Matt Russell, OL.
The Tigers will be successful on offense if Brad Smith adapts quickly to the new offensive concepts and allows his legs to beat teams more than his arm. Tony Temple is a mercurial sophomore tailback who was the offensive star of the spring. If Temple can keep defenses from keying completely on Smith, as they have in the past, Missouri will improve tremendously on offense. Finally, if the Tigers offensive line improves after the last year's trial by fire, Missouri will be tough to stop.
Scheme, or changes in scheme or emphasis: Missouri runs a 4-3 base defense, but has tremendous depth at both safety positions. Expect plenty of nickel packages, even in running situations.
Key returning players: Xzavier Jackson, DE; Brian Smith, DE; Lorenzo Williams, DT; Dedrick Harrington, LB; Derrick Ming, LB; Jason Simpson, S.
Key newcomers: Darnell Terrell, S/CB; William Moore, S; Van Alexander, LB; Josh Barbo, DT.
The Tigers will be successful on defense if a committee of unproven defensive tackles can effectively fill Mosley's old position on the line. If the Tigers improve the coverage and aggressiveness from its linebacker corps in addition, Missouri should continue to have a very competitive defense.
Key Games: Given last season's five game losing streak, it is more important than ever that the Tigers get off to a fast start. The Sept. 3 game against Arkansas State in Kansas City is as important as any other game on the schedule. The conference opener at home vs. Texas is also critical for Missouri.

I've enjoyed that – for the past several years – I have been able to hit the grocery store every day if needed. This has allowed me to really shop sales and to plan meals based on that day's schedule combined with my mood. I always feel one of the perks of being The Cook in the family is getting to cook what YOU want. I know some people say you spend more with the daily shopping, but not me. I hate doing BIG grocery trips because it's a pain in the ass to carry in and I just don't always know our schedule during the week so meal planning is difficult. I may have 5 minutes to cook dinner at 5:15 or I may have no time to cook but we'll be home at 7pm starving to death. Of course, when I worked from home I had plenty of time during the day for prep or monitoring of things in the crockpot, so that added a flexibility I don't have now. But if I was in the mood for Mexican that day? I'd run the 1 mile down to the store and get stuff for Mexican. Even when I worked in an office it was only 10 minutes from my house which still gave me time to head home, stop by Publix on the way, unload groceries, and get back to work before my lunch hour was up.
Now I work 40'ish minutes from home and 4 out of 5 nights this week I only have enough time after work and before soccer to let the dog out. I've tried some end-of-the-day grocery store trips, but I hate that because I want to be DONE with my day by 7:30pm, not still needing to go grocery shopping. I still have housework to do when I get home so not getting home from my day of work/soccer until 7:30 stresses me out. Of course, some days I've realized we needed things by a certain time so I've had to run into Publix on the way home and grab that ONE THING because I don't have time to grab anything else. Yesterday? I had to go to Publix TWICE. Once for the emergency Kitty Litter (I'm not used to paying attention to things I'm running out of because I go to the store every day) and once DURING soccer for real groceries. And that's a pain because I had to go to the Publix by the soccer fields which I hate, and I had to do it during soccer practice which I also hate because I can't monitor how it's going.
So, I've decided that on Saturday, I'm going to try the Full Week Shopping Trip.
This means trying to map out the full-week's schedule and predict what's going on when so I can plan a meal that takes the right amount of time to cook. This means really paying attention to how much of things we go through so that we don't run out of Kitty Litter on a day I don't have time to stop until 8pm. This means I have to plan for lunches and pre-soccer snacks and maybe some crockpot meals if my crockpot doesn't go insane and cook on High all day instead of Low. I think I'll still plan a "End Of The Day, Late Night" grocery trip to Publix every Wednesday so I can see the new week's sales and have a mid-week day to pick up stuff I might run out of. So, in reality I'll do one "BIG" trip on Saturdays and one "Refill" trip on Wednesdays and hopefully I'll get a handle of shopping sales at Target an Publix on those days that way.
UG. Just thinking about all of that grocery shopping in ONE trip makes me insane. I hate having so many bags that I can't carry them in on one trip. It's part of having 13 stairs to your front door. It makes you hate big grocery trips.
So! Do you shop 1.5 times per week? What's your secret? I'm sure I won't get it perfect the first week, but my hope is that I only have to hit the store these two times every week. Do I need to write down everything we're going to eat and attack the list that way? Do I need to hire a strapping young man to help me lug in all the groceries? How much cereal to my kids actually eat one week at a time? How much beer do I need for a whole week?

Ray (Allen) of Hope
The shortened 2011/2012 NBA season ended on a remarkably sour note for the Boston Celtics this past June. After all, the Miami Heat did manage to knock the C's out of the playoffs for a second straight year, advancing to the NBA Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder. But the Heat's late-round knockout punch was only the beginning of the Celtics' post-season woes. Less than a month after Miami paraded down Biscayne Boulevard with the Larry O'Brien Championship trophy in tow, team president Pat Riley convinced Boston Celtics star Ray Allen to forgo a two-year, $12 million contract extension and sign a three-year deal with the Heat for a lot less money. "As we said a couple of years ago when we started to rebuild the team, I think it's important year in and year out that you continue to try to add quality talent and players with experience, who want to make a commitment to winning," Riley told reporters this past summer. "I just mentioned LeBron (James) and Chris (Bosch) and Dwyane (Wade), and they take it from there." On Tuesday, Ray Allen will square off against his former team for the first time at the American Airlines Arena (601 Biscayne Blvd., Miami) as a member of the world champion Miami Heat, kicking off the 2012/2013 regular season with a good ol' fashioned in-conference rivalry game.

this summer was crazy. first of all we already had redcurrants in the garden when they were not ripe yet everywhere else. then the plums were ripe way to early and now the apples are. they were already falling from the trees 2 weeks ago!! i have no idea what is going on, but i don´t mind. it´s never to early for apples! so we baked three apple cakes last weekend and the first one we will show you today: a glutenfree & vegan apple pie.to be honest: laura risk her neck for one particular picture (i guess you know which one) and no, she was not climbing on an apple tree (almost). it was just a ladder, but a really dangerous one!! you know, those ladders which are always shaking and you are in fear all the time standig on it...but she is a brave girl, so she made it and i´m glad that my girlfriend is still alive (i was holding the ladder so strongly you can´t believe!)
but to speak about the apple pie again: i guess it was the best reward to have a delcious piece of it after this dangerous shooting :D
due to the glutenfree flour the pie is a little bit crumbly from the outside, but very juicy inside. we hope you enjoy!

Thus we could read about spring patterns, tips etc before spring actually gets here, not at the later parter of the season. Just my 2 cents. Thx .... PJ Comment | Was this review helpful?

The Help is based on the novel of the same name by Kathryn Stockett, which is quite popular. This is another book I probably need to read. The film stars Emma Stone, Viola Davis, Bryce Dallas Howard, Octavia Spencer, Jessica Chastain, Sissy Spacek, Allison Janney, Mike Vogel, David Oyelowo, and Cicely Tyson. The screenplay is written by Tate Taylor and he also directs The Help. This looks like a good one. Synopsis:
Set in Mississippi during the 1960s, "The Help" stars Emma Stone (star of the breakout hit, "Zombieland") as Skeeter, a southern society girl who returns from college determined to become a writer, but turns her friends' lives–and a small Mississippi town–upside down when she decides to interview the black women who have spent their lives taking care of prominent southern families. Academy Award(R) nominee Viola Davis ("Eat Pray Love") stars as Aibileen, Skeeter's best friend's housekeeper, who is the first to open up–to the dismay of her friends in the tight-knit black community. Despite Skeeter's life-long friendships hanging in the balance, she and Aibileen continue their collaboration and soon more women come forward to tell their stories–and as it turns out, they have a lot to say. Along the way, unlikely friendships are forged and a new sisterhood emerges, but not before everyone in town has a thing or two to say themselves when they become unwittingly–and unwillingly–caught up in the changing times.
The Help is in theatres August 12, 2011.

- About
- As the foremost Flemish painter of the sixteenth century, Antonis Mor spent much time travelling between Antwerp, Augsburg, Rome and Madrid working for Europe's aristocracy. His chief patron was Philip II of Spain. The identity of the woman in this portrait is unknown, but she is depicted with a formality and piercing insight into character typical of Mor. Her gleaming black gown is significant; black-dyed fabrics were expensive and faded quickly, and were thus reserved for special occasions. Of Flemish design, the gown may indicate the portrait's Flemish origin, and a possible dating of 1555–60, when Mor lived in Brussels and Utrecht.
