Childminder - AIBU?(78 Posts)
My childminder is also a friend of some 20+ years so advice would be appreciated.
She looks after my 8yo DS before and after school, inset days and some school holidays.
So here goes:-
1. More or less every night, when I collect my son, there are the childminder's friends at her house having coffee and a chat. This would be ok if the children were in the same room but they are often in the garden or another downstairs room, unsupervised. More often than not my son, who is the eldest, is reading to the little ones or playing with them in the back garden. This has become more frequent in recent weeks. My previous childcare was a day nursery so I don't know other childminders operate. Is this normal?
2. My ex usually picks our son up from school on a preset day during the week. Last week he contacted the cm directly to say he wouldn't be picking our ds up and could she collect him from school. Neither of them told me until half past five that the arrangements had changed. I had to cancel what I was doing (work related) to collect my son. I told both of them that I was not very happy about the lack of communication.
3. Yesterday one of the other parents shouted at my son and was quite nasty to him. I was there when this happened. I did tell my childminder that I did not expect other parents to shout at my child. Discipline is one thing, shouting is another. I am reasonably strict as a parent and my son does get told off when he does something wrong. But I would expect the childminder and not another parent to hand out any discipline if it is required.
All of these things are reasonably minor in the scheme of things and seem a bit trivial when I have typed them out. But I am feeling a bit annoyed and I wonder if IBU to feel like this.
The children vary in age from just over one year old (walking) to my son who is the eldest. The others are 3, 5, 6 and 7. I have no problem with her having a coffee with friends. My only issue is that the little ones are being supervised by the older ones.
No1 - I think this is one of the reasons why I would prefer a home based setting rather than a nursery one. Not that your son should be left in charge of others, or be reading them a story every day, but definitely a more relaxed place than a nursery. I feel they should have a homely atmosphere which is why if I were forced to put my DS into childcare now, I would be looking for a CM. Having said that, I don't think she should be having friends round more or less every night for a cup of tea or whatever, as it's her place of work and she should be primarily focussed on her job. If she worked in an office, her friends wouldn't be dropping by for a chat. It is one of the perks of working from home, sure, but not quite that regularly and I probably would say something.
No2 - This was a misunderstanding your CM wasn't responsible for. Your ex seems a bit unreliable.
No3 - I don't think I've understood if it was another parent at the CMs picking up their charge or one of her mates telling your DS off. How come you didn't tell him off yourself? And what did you say to her when she told your DS off?
How does your DS feel about the CM? Is he generally happy there?
Do you see your CM out of her role as she is a friend of yours?
How many other children does she look after?
Have you been happy with the level of care your DS has received from her?
The other parent is a friend of the childminder and also a parent of two of the children that my friend looks after.
From what I have been able to work out (from the CM) her eldest was trying to hit my son on the head with a toy truck. My son was trying to take the truck off her DS. She shouted at my DS because she walked in before I did and only saw my son trying to take the truck off her DS and not what lead up to it. She shouted at my son for taking something off her DS. It wasn't what she said, it was her tone and how she said it.
Huge that's sort of how it works though with children. The 1 year old would need a good level of supervision, but all the others look out for each other IMO
1. This is the kind of thing people choose CMs over nurseries or after school clubs for isnt it? Particularly the last bit; More often than not my son, who is the eldest, is reading to the little ones or playing with them in the back garden.
2. You need to apologise to your CM. The issue here was your and your childs fathers lack of communication with each other (or to give you the benefit of the doubt, your exs lack of comms to you). You were wrong to tell her off (which is how you are coming across).
3. You are right to talk to the CM about this and for her to address the matter, assuming you are not overreacting that is. It takes a village and all that. What did the other parent say? What was your son doing? What was the CM doing?
Okay, so the other woman had gone there to pick up her 2 children and stopped for a cup of tea and a chat and told your son off?
I think I've followed!
Yes I have generally been very happy. My son has known her since he was born. She is one of my closest friends, which makes any "work" related problems more tricky to speak to her about. When she first started having my DS I made a point of saying that this had to be separate from our friendship and a business relationship.
All of these things have happened in the last few weeks. She has always had friends over for a coffee/tea but it seems to be every day at the moment. Again, this is not a particular problem, and I appreciate that this is her home but the older children seem to be looking after the younger children while this is happening.
Jenai - My ex has our son on the same night every week. Has done for seven years. I don't communicate with him about it as it is regular as clockwork normally. He is crap with telling me about anything. Again, I didn't tell her off, I just asked her to tell me if my ex didn't collect my son. She tells me when my ex picks him up.
"I told both of them that I was not very happy about the lack of communication."
sounds like a telling off to me.
Bottom line - is he happy there & do you feel he is safe there? If no to either question start looking elsewhere for childcare.
the older children looking after the younger: are they changing nappys, toilet training, feeding, etc
or just playing?
my daughter is 6 and don't have much patience for younger children
I would be delighted to see her
looking after playing with small children and even READ books to them.
all she does is boss them around
can I have your CM contact details please?
I don't think I would have a problem with an 8-year-old playing with and reading to younger ones if he's happy to do so. What I would have a problem with is, if I was the mother of the one-year-old, having my baby left in the charge of an 8-year-old, rather than a responsible adult
but I've only got the one and am probably a bit pfb about this.
I don't think any of this sounds major, and you're erpahsp being a bit harsh on the CM. Points 2 and 3 are not really her concern.
To me only the first would be a possible issue.
Even then i think it would be down to the individual to decided if they were happy with it.
I wouldn't have an issue, its good for the older children and probably helps to calm them down. Plus its what I've always done at home.
AIBU - possibly yes. No I'm not because x,y and z. One of those threads
erpahsp?? WTF??? perhaps!
Surely points 1&3 are linked? If the childminder was fully engaged with the children then the hitting situation would have been dealt with promptly, no need for the other parent to intervene?
Fwiw I wouldn't be happy with the setup. It sounds less like paid childcare and more like your friend watches your son after school, but he pulls his weight by helping with the younger children, more of a friendly favour.
Have you considered after school clubs or other options that would be more interesting for your son?
From what you've added 1& 3 are linked and are showing a general lack of supervision, 2 is a difficult one but since you'd already agreed that she'd let you know herself then yes she let you down.
To me this sounds like she's behaving like a playdate not a cm and I'd be looking for a new place to suit my child better.
Ive just looked in my visitors book, Ive only had 2 vistors during working hours in the last 35mths, and they were, My college tutor/assessor, and an Ofsted inspector..
And my house isnt dirty either thank you very much, do you have OCD frissonpink?
How rude..
As to number 1. Childminding is/can be a lonely job. Been there, got the sweatshirt, and of course open to any sort of
malicious allegations etc.
Saying that, Im not sure I personally would like to see other adults there every single day, especially if I didnt know them?
I would like to think they were other Minders and CRB checked..but then thats me..
This does not sound like the set up of any CM I know, the children are not left to look after the younger ones and they rarely have friends round unless they are all doing something together. The CMs I know are brilliant and do lots with their mindees, they treat it as they should - their job.
A CM is paid to look after your child and I don't consider it is like a home environment, it is maybe somewhere between that and nursery, although should be closer to nursery.
If I am looking after the DCs I would expect to be able to do chores and stick them in front of the tv or playing on their own upstairs or outside, if I was looking after other peoples DCs paid or unpaid I would not be leaving them alone.
I personally would prefer an 8 YO to be in after school care as I think it is better socially than them looking after younger children, although that said, the CMs I know who look after older children ensure they are getting the care etc they should.
Just to make it clear. I am asking all of you before I think about speaking to her. I haven't said anything to anyone in RL. I am quite prepared to be told IBU which is why I am asking for impartial advice. All I said about last week was that if it happened again could she send me a text or preferably call me at work. This was to prevent my DS not being picked up by either parent and leaving her in a situation where she would have had my DS until at least 7.00pm. I haven't shouted at her. I shouted at my ex.
No 2, personally I dont think its down to your childminder to ring you up with re to change of plans.
No3, If you were just arriving as your child was being shouted at, was it possible your childminder didnt have time to say anything to her friend?
OP, I think you would be better off posting in the Childminders, nannies etc topic about this. You might get a better balanace of people who are childminders and who use childminders there.
I appreciate that it isn't her job to let me know about the change in plans. I was just surprised that she didn't send me a text bearing in mind that a) She is my friend as well as a childminder, b) she knew that he hadn't let me know and c) that potentially she would end up having my DS until I realised his dad hadn't got him. It's absolutely not her job to tell me but it's just a bit strange, based on previous form of her telling me when he DOES collect him from either school or her house, that she didn't let me know that he wasn't collecting him. I just thought it was a bit odd.
Mrs Melons - surely that is why people send their children to a childminder, because it is more like their home enviroment?
And also our village school doesnt have after school care, it has various clubs that run till approx 4-4.30, and I would have thought some/most parents work till 5pmish.
1 of my parents commutes to london every day and doesnt get here till 6.15 occasionaly later if trains are not running for some reason or another..
Happy - How do I ask for the thread to be moved?

As for Velocity - having it generate an XML response would work, but care must be taken to XML encode all dynamic text properly so it's not quite the perfect tool for the job. But it's easy enough to encode XML using $esc.xml(...) in a Velocity template so it'd actually look quite lean and clean as a template. > GeoRSS ResponseWriter > --------------------- > > Key: SOLR-2074 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2074 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Response Writers > Reporter: Chris A.

Golf clubs can cost upwards of £300 - each - and even if you're just starting out with a cheaper set, the cost of replacing your clubs could still mount up if they're lost, damaged or stolen.
Usually separate golf club insurance isn't sold as a standalone policy, and instead you'll need to consider other aspects of golf insurance and pick the best overall insurance policy.
However, you can decide to prioritise golf clubs cover in your cheap golf club insurance comparison, to ensure you can get the best insurance for golf clubs at the cheapest possible price.
Remember price isn't everything, weigh up what you need from your golf club insurance, and only then look for the cheapest golf policy that combines that cover with its own standard protection:
If you're looking for the best insurance for golf clubs it's essential to make sure that your set is fully protected by your golf insurance policy. You'll need to decide on either new for old or indemnity cover before you can settle on what cover level is suitable.
New for old cover puts your clubs' policy value at the same price you originally paid for them; so, your maximum claim limit will need to match their original value or you won't be able to replace all your clubs.
Meanwhile, indemnity cover sets your clubs' policy value to their 2nd hand market value at the point of claiming for them. This means you are unlikely to need so high a limit, as their market value will take into account age and depreciation.
When you know the amount of cover you are likely to need, compare golf club insurance maximum cover levels and exclude policies that won't fully protect your clubs. Finally, check if there is a maximum single item limit within a policy's total cover, and make sure your most valuable club will be protected.
Consider which (if any) golfing add-ons or additional cover you might need to fully protect your clubs; golf club insurance for travel for example could be vital for golfing holidays abroad.
Travel insurance with golf clubs is often limited by number of days' cover and by geographical area, so make sure any policy fits in with your plans.
Cover for golf equipment hire (in case your clubs are lost, stolen or damaged prior to an arranged round of golf) is also available with some policies. This could be particularly useful for booked golfing holidays at home or abroad, where the cost of repeatedly hiring your clubs can soon mount up.
When comparing golf clubs insurance cover you will need to carefully check each polices terms and conditions to make sure you're happy with the cover you opt for.
Some golf clubs stolen from car insurance only covers you for theft during travel to/from (or while you're at) a golf course -something you should double check before you make your decision. Similarly, you will need to make sure your travel golf club theft insurance covers all flights and transfers overseas.
What else should you take into account?
When you have found companies offering a suitable level of golf club insurance, you can compare the additional cover offered as standard - alongside their price - to find the best deal.
Typically, you should compare:
Public liability cover for third parties, including injury and accidental damage to their property
Personal injury cover for your own emergency treatment, hospitalisation and loss of sight
Golf club membership cover, offering reimbursement of clubhouse/green fees if you are prevented from playing golf due to injury
If you prioritise the cover on offer before you compare quotes from policies that meet those requirements, you can be sure that even the cheapest golf club insurance policy will protect you financially if you need to claim.

Ryan Arcidiacono (Langhorne, Pa./Neshaminy) is on the shelf and he's one of those guys that the physical pain will dwarf the mental anguish of not being able to participate in basketball his senior year.
Arcidiacono will have surgery to repair a ruptured disc this month. He tried rehab, got cortisone shots and while things worked in moderation, none fixed the problem. Eighteen-year old kids shouldn't have herniated discs at all, let alone worry about getting them removed. But, if you've ever watched this kid play and watched him get after it with little regard for his body, things would make more sense.
The Villanova-bound senior is one of the toughest point guards I've seen in some time. Upon hearing that he was going to miss his senior year because of a back problem, the thought that this was self-induced immediately crossed my mind. "Arch" is the guy with the bruises and scratches that are indicators of his rugged style. The first time I ever saw him he had stitches above his eye. Did I mention he's a point guard?
Shortly after his junior season, Arcidiacono herniated a disc in his back. "It happened a couple of days after my high school season," Arcidiacono said. "Maybe it was using a weight vest, I don't know. It was eventually going to happen. It's a blessing in disguise that it happened before college because that's what's most important to me."
What's never been important to Arcidiacono are the individual honors or hype. He's the last guy who would worry about things like the McDonald's game or all-american lists. Because of the injury, he's not going to be in those games. He won't even have a shot at playing in them since he's on the shelf. The reality is, the NBAPA Top 100 Camp was the last time he was on the national stage. He missed LeBron's camp because of the injury. In terms of being off the radar, he's been the guy with the least hype.
So, who is this kid and why did Villanova want him? The reason is simple: leadership. He was only one of three point guards invited to the NBPA Top 100 Camp as a rising junior in 2010. The next year, he served as one of the leaders at the camp and even though he wasn't 100 percent, you'd have never known. Excuses aren't a big part of this guy's makeup. Toughness? Now, that he gets from his pop. Joe Arcidiacono played football at Villanova during the Howie Long Era. He passed his passion for sports onto his son.
Arcidiacono has March circled on his calendar. That's the next time he hopes to be able to lace them up. "It's tough. Not being able to play my senior year and play with the guys I've been with for so long. It's tough. My teammates need to know that I'll be at every practice and every game. I'll be there for them. Why not be there with them when I'm hurt? I'd have been there if I was healthy."
In the fall of 2012, Villanova coach Jay Wright will have the services of a healthy Arcidiacono. Even though the guard won't be playing his final year of high school ball, the coach knows exactly what he has coming to campus.

We recently upgraded a client from VEEAM version 2 to version 5 due to
a failing backup job. (We were informed by VEEAM that version 2 was no longer supported so we hoped that by upgrading we may also resolve the failing backup job.)
However, since moving to v5.0 we have been unable to get a successful backup as the processing rate is so low at between 3-5 MB/s. The same job that took around 2 hours with v2 now takes 15-16 hours!
These backups take place over a WAN between 2 remote sites, however this has always worked OK in the past. I've tried running one of the
jobs to the local server where VEEAM is installed however this only gives a processing rate of 9MB/s. When we had v2 we were getting 35MB/s over the WAN.
We are running ESX 3.5. The 2 backup jobs each backup a single VM of around 300GB which equates to a full backup size of 120GB and 75GB respectively. We do a full backup on a Saturday and then incrementals thereafter. The incrementals are no quicker than the full backups.
I'm a bit stumped really as nothing else has changed. I've been through all the settings I can see which might affect the speed, tried changing the compression etc but nothing seems to help.
Anyone got any ideas or come across similar issues?
Apr 8, 2011 at 8:34 UTC
Ok now that i'm in front of my console.
The screen I was referring too is the "Processing Mode" Options for "Direct San Mode" "Virtual Appliance" and "Network"
From my understanding; v5 "Network mode" is much different that the previous versions network mode
Veeam 5 is really designed for vSphere and they disabled some of the legacy backup modes.
Have you enabled "Legacy Processing Modes"? Console | Tools | Advanced
This will change your options in the "Processing Mode" and allow the old method of "Network Backup".

What are you backing up to? SAN or NAS?
Apr 7, 2011 at 9:16 UTC
check your compression settings. If you don't have enough CPU, high compression can bite you pretty bad. Same for deduplication, this stuff requires memory and CPU to run well. Check perfmon while it runs on this one.
Are you doing network backups, vmware backups or dirrect to SAN connections?
How many spindles/raid group size.
Worst off call support they are freakishly friendly and helpful, and not farmed out of the states.
Apr 7, 2011 at 9:33 UTC
Thaks for that guys,
We are doing Network Backups backing up to a Windows shared drive on a server at another site. These backups are then archived off to tape.
The server running VEEAM is not massively spec'd having only 2 processors and 1GB RAM however it managed the task no bother with the older version.
We have compression set for WAN connection, however when I tried running it to the local server there was little improvement.
The only thing I can think of is that the newer version requires more resources from the server than we have, however unfortunately it is not an option to upgrade this at this point.
I have logged a support call with VEEAM also but just thought it may be worth checking if anyone else had come across the same.
Thanks again,
Apr 7, 2011 at 9:40 UTC
Is the VEEAM server located at the primary site or backup site?
Apr 7, 2011 at 9:41 UTC
Tried running Perfmon during the backup and it looks as though the server is cruising along nicely with nothing hitting the limits nor even coming close. ...kind of as you'd expect really as it seems to be doing so little work! :o)
Seriously though, it doesn't really look as though the server is being stretched at all by VEEAM so doesn't look like server performance is the cause of the bottleneck.
Apr 7, 2011 at 9:44 UTC
Veeam is at the remote site with the ESX server/Datastore. It's backing up over the WAN to another server at a seperate location.
I know we should probably run the backup localy and then transfer the data but there is no storage available to do that unfortunately.
Also, like I say, it used to work fine before we upgraded it. :o)
Apr 7, 2011 at 10:11 UTC
Well, as long as your VEEAM server is at the same site with the VM Host you should be ok on that end. Are you encrypting the traffic? Are you using the Reversed Incremental or simply Incremental for your backup mode?
Apr 7, 2011 at 10:18 UTC
I always configure VEEAM to push to remove servers, never to pull. I'd add space (Cheap QNAP/ReadyNAS/USB).
Apr 7, 2011 at 3:17 UTC
Well, if it was working before, I'm with Dave, it should work now.
Apr 7, 2011 at 7:29 UTC
Is there anyway you can upgrade to vSphere 4? Changed block tracking would probably bring your backup window down to 30 minutes
I do know v5 requires much higher resources then v4. You even try to install it on a vm with one proc and you get warnings.
Also are you removing the previous backup files once archived?
I'm not sitting in front of my veeam console but I know there is a setting in veeam to say how to connect to the data stores. Has to do with something about the veeam server running in a vm on the same shared datastore of the vm being backed up.
Apr 8, 2011 at 1:09 UTC
I had forgot about CBT. It does indeed rock, and make for super fast backups.
Apr 8, 2011 at 3:43 UTC
We are not currently encrypting the backups.
Unfortunately upgrading to vSphere is not an option for this site as it is likely to be decommissioned in the next year and migrated elsewhere so we can't get the budget to do that at present.
VEEAM is installed of a physical server and looking at the performance metrics during the backup it does not appear to be working to hard.
We're running a full backup on a Saturday with incrementals every other day. We keep 7 days backups on the remote storage. This is backed up to tape each night.
I've sent to logs off to VEEAM so will post up if they come back with anything helpful.

Was not aware of that. I'll have a look when I'm back on site and check that out. Many thanks! :o)

Got my colleague to try the Legacy Mode option and this has worked.
Many thanks all for your suggestions. You are stars! :o)

Premixed combustion
Hi everyone,
I am really new to fluent. Basically I am trying to simulate a shock tube. I am planning to use the premixed combustion. However, I don't know how can I simulate it. So far I have made a couple of tutorials and in most of them I have to input a flow. But, as I mention before, the mixture is premixed, therefore is just loaded inside the tube.
I have read that I have to use the pressure inlet/outlet BC. But my question is, how do I specify where is the mixture if there is not inlet flow?
Thank you very much for your help!

However, your comment is a string of untruths: you are seriously misled, and in a way that is frightening. You are starting to attribute to demons the works of the Holy Spirit, and to attribute to the Holy Spirit the works of the demons.
Don't say what I am 'intending' - that's mind reading and against the rules. Sarcasm reigns with the subjects of the counterfeit church - so no one could expect anything more from you.
I post what I mean, I don't skirt the issue. When someone has a relationship with The Lord - he would be shown the truth. So it's obvious and well known catholics don't know what happens when the Holy Spirit is involved.

AMJ's success and popularity did not go unnoticed. In 2010, UBS and Credit Suisse followed JPMorgan's lead and launched their own exchange-traded notes designed to track these popular companies. Despite their short lifetime, both the UBS E-TRACS Alerian MLP Infrastructure ETN ( MLPI) and Credit Suisse Cushing 30 MLP Index ETN ( MLPN) have already managed to amass relatively impressive volume. Like AMJ, MLPI tracks an index sponsored by Alerian. The Alerian Infrastructure Index is comprised of only 25 firms. Aside from focusing on a smaller pool of firms, MLPI's index is also more sector-concentrated than AMJ. The fund focuses primarily on petroleum transportation, natural gas pipelines, and gathering and processing firms. MLPI's top holdings are also KMP and EDP, though they account for considerably smaller slices than in AMJ. MLPN is unique from both AMJ and MLPI in that it tracks the Cushing 30 MLP Index. Although this index tracks many of the same firms as AMJ's and MLPI's, unlike the Alerian index-based ETNs, the firms underlying this fund's index are equally weighted. The yields for MLPI and MLPN are similar to that of AMJ. All three products carry a 0.85% expense ratio. It is important to remember that, because they are structured as ETNs, AMJ, MLPN and MLPI carry additional credit risk not present in traditional ETFs or equity-backed mutual funds. ETF sponsors are not the only ones attempting to ride the MLP bandwagon. Mutual fund companies have caught on to the popularity of MLPs as well. In early May, SteelPath managed to take MLP investing to a whole new level when they launched a suite of MLP-focused mutual funds which not only provide investors with equity exposure, but also avoids the hassles that come with a K-1 form. The SteelPath MLP Income Fund (MLPDX), SteelPath MLP Select 40 Fund(MLPFX), and the SteelPath MLP Alpha Fund (MLPAX) are set up as corporations, and any distribution is treated as a dividend and reported using the more traditional 1099 form. Despite these funds' attractive tax qualities, investors should be aware that these can be a more expensive option. All three carry a 5.75% front load on top of their expense ratios, although SteelPath says that Class A shares may be purchased no-load on the TD Ameritrade and Schwab platforms, among others, as well as directly online on the Fund's
website . The net expense ratios for MLPDX, MLPFX and MLPAX are 1.35%, 1.10% and 1.50% respectively.

The Porcupine Principle : and Other Fundraising Secrets Hardback
by Jonathan Farnhill
Being a fundraiser is exciting and fulfilling, but also full of challenges.
You know what is important but how do you communicate that to potential supporters? And just how do you keep your motivation when the money isn't rolling in?
Jonathan Farnhill is an experienced fundraiser who knows both the pleasure and the pain of fundraising.
His premise is that what fundraisers need is not the 'how' of fundraising - the technical skills to carry out their jobs - but the 'why', a sense of the 'bigger picture'.
In 33 humorous and pin-sharp vignettes, the book distils the spirit of fundraising, including: divine compost - why what you do now matters; my bubble, you squeak - engaging with the outside world; and, the porcupine principle - managing your message."The Porcupine Principle" is both down-to-earth and thought-provoking at the same time.
Interwoven with practical fundraising tips and advice, it will also help you reflect deeply on your fundraising practice, bringing meaning and a sense of perspective to an invaluable profession. 'Contains a wealth of ideas from someone who has been there and done it'. - Stuart Etherington, Chief Executive, NCVO.

Frigidaire is a brand of appliances sold by Electrolux, and it specializes in home and commercial appliances like washing machines. It offers large-capacity top- and front-loading washing machines. If you notice water on your floor while you are washing clothes, your Frigidaire washing machine is leaking water. This is a common problem that you can usually fix on your own, saving yourself money.
The most common reason why your Frigidaire washer leaks is because the fill and drainage connections are loose. Tighten the connections at both the faucet and the washing machine. Replace the wire clamp, if compromised. Turn off the water, and see if the rubber sealing washers are installed inside the fill hoses. This prevents water from escaping from the hose. Examine the hoses, and see if they are split or punctured. You must replace or patch the hose. Always level the washing machine with the front and rear leveling legs. This prevents the washer from shaking, causing water to splash out of the machine. Keep the lid closed.
Over-sudsing/Off Balance
Most Frigidaire washing machines require high-efficiency, low-sudsing detergent. If you use any other type of detergent, the washing machine will create too many suds, which causes water and suds to leak out of the washing machine. Stop the washing machine and run the rinse cycle to clear the sudsing. Also, only use the recommended amount of detergent. Your washer can also leak if your overload the machine or if it's unbalanced. Water can bounce off of the load if it's stacked too high.
Water Inlet Valve/Seal
If you see water leaking into the tub when you are not using the machine, check the water inlet valve, which is located on the rear of the machine. If the valve is leaking, you must replace it, since it's difficult to fix. Check the main washer seal if your Frigidaire washer is leaking all of the time and you see water in the outer tub. The seal runs between the outer tub and the transmission. This repair is often difficult. Contact a service technician for assistance.
Additional Issues
Your Frigidaire washing machine may leak during the spin cycle if the hex-head screws are loose. These screws are located on the lower part of the housing. Wait until the spin speed starts, and examine the screws. If the leak is originating from this area, tighten the screws. Check the pump if your washer is leaking when the tub is filled with water. Let the tub fill, and then shut off the washing machine. Disconnect the washer from the power source, and open up the main housing. Replace the pump if it's leaking, since it's difficult to fix.

text: Hey Everyone, Ok, so I'm a current Eris owner (rooted, only way to go)... Anyways, I'm due for an upgrade and trying to decide on a new phone to get this week, especially with Black Friday and everything... I've narrowed my decision down to this and the Fascinate. I was just wondering what everyone thinks of their Droid 2... Biggest concerns are: -size... I feel like its a lot bigger than my Eris and wont totally fit in my pocket... -The Keyboard... I hate the virtual keyboard on the Eris, however, every other phone i've owned with a physical keyboard (1 RAZR, 3 eNv's, and 2 eNv 2's) has had the keyboard go completely crazy and break... Just wanted some feedback and help with my decision! I appreciate it!

Did my first GP visit today, shadowed by Avni, my experience colleague. I admire her in many ways : she is friendly, chatty, vocal as in her points are always heard, bold, efficient, i can count on her, she helped me a lot in my induction and fighting my new pc( ordering a pc in an organisation like mine is hard work, waiting for Mr. Budget to approve, then IT, then facilities to order bla bla). She used to cover my GPs before i started and she knows everyone of them. Everyone likes her and i can just tell. She is casual, good sense of humour, confident, knows what she is talking about...
I, on the other hand, need to learn... GP visit wasn't good at all, i didn't have enough time to prepare, Avni just told me before i left for EPact, and my poor slow laptop can't run EPact, because i have no java installed, had to swap desk with Avni, not comfortable, so my background prescribing info wasn't perfect. A lot of gaps in my knowledge and experience, hence lack of confidence. My ex- chief pharmacist used to say we have to be ocnfident in what you say, whether you are right or wrong. In other words, if you are wrong, you have to be confidently wrong. Till now, i still can't do it.
Common reaction when asked about his particular high prescribing trend on high cost drugs: they blame the locum doctor who is always absent ( not surprised),started by the consultant in hospital, can't swap it, or patient demand that they want to be on it. Now that i work with Gp, i come to know that the real 'boss' is not the doctors, it's the patients. Doctors give whatever the patient wants.I just have to take their word for it. Even in meetings, i notice people blamed it on people who was not at the meeting. Classic human nature : blame and let someone be the scapegoat. Someone just have to be accounted for the wrongs or mistakes. Not a surprise that Jesus was the scapegoat for our sins.
Sometimes i wonder, Avni is a spoilt brat, youngest in the family and i have come to this own conclusion that the youngest in the family are usually the outgoing, chatty ones.Meaning, i hope that with time i can learn the strength in her and build a good rapport with my clients. I hope that with time, i can improve on my negotiation and influencing skills and learn how to comunicate wisely to my valuable clients. i.e. doctors. tough tough..
one thing for sure, i noticed that i am less gullible and innocent now that i am in the real world

Let's take a look at 'A Day in the Life' of someone who is constantly using their interpersonal skills around the office with their co-workers and also with clients.
A perfect example comes to mind on someone who uses these skills for every part of their day. Our Client Services team here at Ellipse is constantly on the phone helping clients, answering emails helping clients, and talking to our programmers or project managers to help said clients. See the pattern here? They get to put their Interpersonal Communication knowledge to use. Just like we talked about last week, they use the Elements of Interpersonal Communication: the communicators, message, noise, feedback, context, and the channel. As they talk to clients all day long and help solve the world's problems, they have to take into account all of the above tactics.
Depending on how angry someone is, how urgent the issue is, or if the person on the other end of the phone/computer just quite understands what is going on. They have to understand just what is needed of our team in order to have a great end result for all parties involved. In some aspects, they are the voice of Ellipse. Some clients might never talk to anyone else at the company, so they have to be helpful, kind, courteous, and quick!
Just today, someone called in about a ticket they submitted yesterday. (Tickets are a way for us to help track an issue, and keep in contact with the client) They wanted to know just why it wasn't completed and fixed yet, I mean come on, it's been a whole day! So one of our awesome Client Service reps check on the ticket number, walked over to our programmers and asked more details on the issue at hand. It turns out, it was going to take some time to correct the error, and Client Services just needed to inform the client. They call the client back and give them a more detailed breakdown of the timeline and how they will be in touch with them once they know more, but that the programmer is working on it, and it's next in line to get corrected.
See all those interpersonal skills at use? It's awesome! People talking face to face, over the phone, in an email, and getting a message across is just what each of us do on a daily basis! Communicators, message, noise, feedback, context and the channel!
The next time you are working along like a little busy bee, see how many interpersonal skills you are using within just a few minutes!

Nursing into and through Toddlerhood
I am a firm believer in extended nursing, even through toddlerhood. I nursed some of mine through the 2s and the longest was over three when I weaned her. She was not read but I was and wanted my son to have all my breast milk because he was so small.
I love coming across articles supporting nursing toddlers so I thought I'd share this one.
Did you nurse your toddler?

Congressman Bob Latta (R-Bowling Green) issued the following reaction statement following President Obama's State of the Union address:
"The policies outlined tonight by President Obama are repackaged versions of the same policies that we've seen for the past four years, and those policies are not working for the American people. 22.7 million Americans are unemployed, underemployed or who have given up looking for work, economic growth slowed last quarter, gas prices are $1.80 higher than when the President took office, and $5.9 trillion has been added to the national debt under President Obama.
"Hardworking taxpayers in Ohio's Fifth Congressional District, and throughout the nation, are looking to Washington to get to work to create jobs and fix the economy. Neglecting to rein in the out-of-control federal spending and raising taxes does not create economic growth, but rather creates uncertainty for our job creators. In order to help all Americans, we must grow our economy through real tax reform, balancing our national budget, and curtailing costly and over-burdensome regulations.
"I welcome the opportunity to work with my colleagues in Washington, including the President and Senate Democrats, to implement pro-growth policies that will put Americans back to work, restore economic prosperity, and rebuild this country for our future generations."

Physical Effects of Getting Clean off of Norcos
Coming off of a drug that is highly addictive, such as an opiate or heroin, can take quite a toll on the body. One of the most addictive opiates that a person may become addicted to is a drug called Norco, which is intended to be used for moderate to severe pain.
Like many opiates, Norco is frequently prescribed by doctors for limited use, although doctors generally prescribe the drug for a limited period of time, and take steps to avoid allowing their patients to become dependent on the drug. It is highly possible, however, for a person who is prescribed Norco to become dependent on it without intending to.
Recreational use of the drug can also quickly lead to a severe dependency. If addiction to Norco does occur, it is imperative that an addict seek the help they need to get clean. The long term effects of Norco can include serious damage to major organs, as well as a risk for overdose. What exactly happens, however, when a recovering addict does get clean from Norco?
Norco Withdrawal
When a person detoxes from Norco or any opiate, their body undergoes several severe symptoms. Opiates are a type of drug that severely grab hold of the brain's reward center and set about major symptoms when the brain does not receive the drug that it has become accustomed to.
Withdrawal symptoms from Norco can include seizures, nausea, depression, fever, severe mood swings, and changes to heart rate. The type of symptoms that are triggered by opiate detox will vary in severity and type, depending on the amount of Norco that an addict has grown accustomed to using and what kind of tolerance their body has built.
Because opiate withdrawal symptoms can be so severe, it is not advisable for any person who is addicted to Norco to attempt to detox on their own.
The Importance of Supported Detox
A professional detox center can ensure that there is medical support for any of the withdrawal symptoms that may arise during the detox process. They can monitor and manage a patient's temperature and heart rate, and have the ability to provide medication to the detoxing addict if necessary.
The staff at a recovery center is also equipped to provide psychological support to recovering addicts who may find that they suffer from severe depression upon detoxing. If an addict were to attempt this process on their own, they will be at severe risk for relapse or from suffering a major medical episode.
Medical Assistance For Withdrawing
Because opiates are such strong and addictive drugs that alter one's neurological make up, many addicts decide, with their doctors, that the most effective means of recovering will be through the use of non-addictive drugs that act on the brain in the same way that opiates do. Drugs like methadone may be used to help prevent severe withdrawal symptoms by satisfying the brain's reward center's need for more drugs in a relatively safe way.
If a doctor decides that medication is the best way for their patient to withdraw, they will set up a plan for the dispensation of a drug like methadone. Frequently, at the beginning of the treatment program, a doctor will administer medication to their patient directly.
This allows the patient to ensure that they are only taking exactly as much medication as necessary, without risking overdose or incorrect dosing. Over time, the dose of a drug like methadone may be reduced and even completely tapered off so that a recovering addict can transition into taking no drugs at all.

This Playtech classic came back to the fore when one lucky player netted $25,000 playing at Slots Heaven, reminding us that even the simplest designs can be extremely rewarding.
SafeCracker has the most simple, yet elegantly designed, console you're ever likely to see. The three reels with their single paylines are depicted as a safe-cracking device attached to a large, promising-looking safe. In the top left, you choose a coin value, below the reels, you opt to wager one, two or three coins, and the total wager is displayed in a small LCD panel above. There's no elaborate soundtrack or 3D mascots here, just three wheels spun in search of winnings.
The game's biggest draw though is its progressive jackpot, displayed at the top of the safe, which is built from 3% of every bet placed, and can be won by lining up three of the money stack icons on the win line. It's worth noting, however, that anyone wagering less than the maximum three-coin bet is ineligible for the progressive jackpot. Players will instead receive a win multiple of 2,000 coins for a one coin bet, and 4,000 coins for a two coin bet.
Other win symbols include dynamite, a drill, a crowbar, a keyhole and, the next most exciting of the lot, a golden key. Landing three of these gets you inside the safe, where you're invited to choose from a selection of 10 safety deposit boxes. Seven contain cash prizes, three are alarmed and will end the bonus.
The brilliant simplicity of this game makes it an excellent slot for a complete beginner looking for a few quick spins. The small number of variations and giant jackpots on offer also make this a quite high volatility slot too, so it's also a great option for high rollers looking to cut through the layers of animation and mini games built into many new video slots and simply spin for giant cash prizes.

Simple neck pain questions used in surveys, evaluated in relation to health outcomes: a cohort study
The high prevalence of pain reported in many epidemiological studies, and the degree to which this prevalence reflects severe pain is under discussion in the literature. The aim of the present study was to evaluate use of the simple neck pain questions commonly included in large epidemiological survey studies with respect to aspects of health. We investigated if and how an increase in number of days with pain is associated with reduction in health outcomes.
A cohort of university students (baseline age 19–25 years) were recruited in 2002 and followed annually for 4 years. The baseline response rate was 69% which resulted in 1200 respondents (627 women, 573 men). Participants were asked about present and past pain and perceptions of their general health, sleep disturbance, stress and energy levels, and general performance. The data were analyzed using a mixed model for repeated measurements and a random intercept logistic model.
When reporting present pain, participants also reported lower prevalence of very good health, higher stress and sleep disturbance scores and lower energy score. Among those with current neck pain, additional questions characterizing the pain such as duration (categorized), additional pain sites and decreased general performance were associated with lower probability of very good health and higher amounts of sleep disturbance. Knowing about the presence or not of pain explains more of the variation in health between individuals, than within individuals.
This study of young university students has demonstrated that simple neck pain survey questions capture features of pain that affect aspects of health such as perceived general health, sleep disturbance, mood in terms of stress and energy. Simple pain questions are more useful for group descriptions than for describing or following pain in an individual.
In epidemiological cohort or surveillance studies, where musculoskeletal pain is only one health aspect among many others investigated, the multidimensional aspects of pain have to be captured in only a few variables. Therefore, multi-item instruments for pain assessment are not suitable for the epidemiological survey setting. In the present paper, we term such assessments 'simple', as they only capture simple characteristics of pain, such as its presence or duration
Assessment of pain is difficult as pain is subjective, multidimensional, and variable in its manifestation and varies over time
Discussions concerning the high prevalence of pain revealed in many epidemiological studies
One important property when evaluating questionnaire-based instruments is its validity, i.e., that it measures what it intended to measure or assess. When evaluating the validity of simple pain questions the focus is here not to question if they assess pain or not, but if the questions assess pain that is of enough severity to be of public health interest. Pain per se is a warning signal we need, but when pain becomes a dysfunctional symptom (e.g. chronic pain, central sensitization, widespread pain…) it is something we want to prevent and cure. In epidemiological studies it may therefore be argued that it is most important to identify pain that affects the life of the individual
Evaluation studies of the Nordic Questionnaire (NQ) are of interest here as they include simple pain questions similar to those investigated in the present paper. Results from studies based on the NQ mostly concern validity with respect to diagnosis, showing mostly that the NQ has high sensitivity and low specificity
The aim of the present study was to evaluate simple pain assessments in relation to the impact on aspects of health (perceived general health, sleep disturbance and mood) and decreased general performance; and whether an increased number of days with pain or additional pain sites are associated with reduced health and decreased general performance.
A cohort of university students (baseline age 19–25 years), enrolled in medical and information technology (IT)-related studies, were recruited in 2002 to respond to Internet-based questionnaires providing baseline and further data from four annual follow-ups Figure

All subjects received written information concerning the study and their right to refuse to participate. The project was approved by the Regional Ethical Review Board at the University of Gothenburg, Gothenburg, Sweden. A more extensive description of the study is presented elsewhere
Neck pain variables
In the present paper neck pain is defined as the two areas 'neck' and 'upper back' in Figure

The marked areas 'neck' and 'upper back' define the variable 'neck pain' used in the present paper
The marked areas 'neck' and 'upper back' define the variable 'neck pain' used in the present paper.
In the present paper, questions were asked about the presence and duration of neck pain and whether the pain decreased the individual's general performance. The phrasing of the questions, and their possible response values were:
Note that the question concerning decreased general performance was not phrased with reference to neck pain, but only to pain in muscles and joints in general. Question a) and b) were also asked for other pain sites (lower back or arms/hands).

Descriptive data and descriptive baseline analysis were performed presenting results for the health outcomes between the two groups formed by the variable
The pain assessments and the outcomes were both collected on five occasions: t = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4. Hence, the data used in the regression analyses are derived from individuals followed over 4 years. This strengthens the analyses, as comparing more homogenous units, such as examining changes in individuals, reduces the chance that there are unattended confounding factors influencing the results. Even more important in this study, this analysis will give information on within-individual difference in health outcomes when reporting and not reporting current pain. In order to handle the longitudinal design, mixed models (PROC MIXED in SAS, version 9.2; SAS Institute, Cary, NC, USA) were used to analyze the relationships between pain assessment and the outcomes
Both the sleep disturbance score and the mood scores are each based on several items that were ordinal, but as described above Rasch analysis was performed and the resulting scores could then be analyzed using parametric methods.
The variable of general health was originally an ordinal variable, but dichotomized into a binary variable
All analyses were performed using the statistical package SAS, version 9.2 (SAS Institute, Cary, NC, USA).

Both among men and women a large part of the neck pain represented a short duration of only 1–2 days (15%, 16%) and duration of 3–7 days (13%, 16%) (Figure

Among the participants with current neck pain at baseline, 31% had decreased general performance. Among women the percentage with decreased general performance was 32% and for men 30%.

Presence of neck pain, determined from the answer to a simple neck pain question, was related to a reduced general health, more sleep disturbance, higher stress, lower energy, and decreased general performance, among our cohort of young university students. At the same time, it appears that a large proportion of the neck pain reported among the young university students in this cohort did not seriously affect their health and perceived general performance. In the literature, the possibility has been discussed that individuals, especially in modern society, are actually reporting discomfort rather than pain
The raw measures of prevalence of pain, at baseline and at the four annual follow-ups, were 2 to 3 times higher for women than for men. This higher prevalence among women compared to men is consistent with the literature. Despite the difference in level of prevalence, the relation between current neck pain and the health outcomes were similar for women and men. Therefore separate analysis for women and men were not performed in the present study, even though this is sometimes advocated
The within-subject variation, regarding the health outcomes, was in all analyses larger than the between-subject variation, except for all analyses of
Most validations of the self-reported pain questions in the NQ use specific clinical diagnosis as a gold standard. This is a confusing criterion for validity as the perception of the patient is the gold standard, according to the widely-accepted pain definition (International Association for the Study of Pain, IASP), and also because the NQ was never intended to measure clinical diagnoses, as mentioned previously. Therefore, validation of pain assessments should include comparisons with other measures of the intended characteristics of pain. According to the work of the Task Force on Neck Pain and Its Associated Disorders, diagnostic procedures for non-traumatic neck pain have not been proven valid or useful
Another qualitative requirement of pain assessment instruments is repeatability. For the NQ, repeatability was found to be good (percentage agreement = 83–90%, kappa coefficient = 0.64–0.78) when the time interval between questionnaires was about 1 week
Assessing pain as the presence of pain in combination with its effect on performance increased the validity of some of our outcomes. However, because the wording
The reported pain in the present young age group may be less severe than, and may not affect life in the same way as, reported pain in older age groups. This could possibly explain the less clear differences in the outcomes between pain and no pain, and may point to the necessity of an additional question, as discussed previously. A 'yes' from a not so affected individual is not possible to distinguish from a 'yes' from a more affected individual, which may explain the high prevalence of pain in such a young age group.
Epidemiological studies regarding pain outcomes could benefit from more clearly specified definitions of those aspects of pain that are of most interest and importance for the individual, workplace or society.
There is a risk of bias due to homogeneity of answers when assessments are self-reported; for example, when a respondent gives a negative answer to one health item, there is a tendency for him or her to also report negatively about other health aspects. This type of bias could be decreased to some extent if an outcome is related both to pain assessments made at the same time as the outcome, and to assessments from the previous year, as done in the present study.
The results of this study should be generalized with caution, because the respondents, being young university students enrolled in academic studies, form a group with quite specific characteristics.
At the time of the study, it was not possible to include figures in the web-based questionnaire and hence, only words were used to define the location upper back or neck. This could endanger the validity of the pain location 'upper back/neck' referred to in the questionnaire. To validate the pain questions regarding pain location medical examinations were conducted on a sub-sample of 42 participants from the baseline of the university cohort. These medical examinations included pain drawings from which presence of neck pain could be defined and compared with the answers from the questionnaire. From these drawings, the agreement between neck pain, according to Task Force on Neck Pain and Its Associated Disorders, and pain in the upper back and neck (Figure
Asking respondents questions about the exact number of days of past pain can result in recall bias. This could possibly explain why the probability of decreased general performance differed between the first category of
In this paper, the sleep disturbance variables were combined into one variable through Rasch analysis. The advantage of this method is that linear regression would be appropriate; the disadvantage is that in this study, it is hard to interpret the size (in terms of "clinical" importance) of a possible difference in sleep disturbance, between those reporting and those not reporting sleep disturbance.
This study of young university students has demonstrated that simple neck pain survey questions capture features of pain that affect aspects of health such as perceived general health, sleep disturbance, mood in terms of stress and energy. However, simple pain questions are mainly useful for group descriptions rather than for describing or following pain in an individual, as knowing about the presence or not of pain explains more of the variation in health between individuals, than within individuals.
