I slid around so he could reach my right side. Again he dipped the cloth into the hot water and rubbed the bar of soap to make more lather.
After he finished washing and rinsing my right arm and pit he said, "Move to the edge of the seat so I can wash your pussy." I slid over until my ass was barely on the edge of the toilet seat. "Spread your legs" he commanded. I did as I was told. Rinsing and soaping up the cloth a third time he gently ran it between my legs and rubbed my pussy.
"Wait, that's not the cloth!" I yelped nervously. "No, it isn't" he said as he pushed his fingers deeper inside me. I squirmed as he withdrew his fingers, and put them in his mouth and sucked them clean. "Your pussy tastes good," he said as he rinsed the cloth again. After wiping away the soap between my legs, he rinsed the cloth for the last time.

How to collect new and update existing alumni information collected through a formAsked by Kara on October 26, 2016 at 01:09 AM
We are trying to put together a database of alumni from our school. We have a bunch of info already in an Excel sheet so what we would like to do is have a form for people to fill in and if their name is already in our database, along with address, etc. we want it to display the info we have on file and allow them to then simply make corrections where needed.
Is this at all possible?
Thanks for your help!
When you have created your JotForm form, you can easily import your existing data into the form's submissions by using our Import app:
However, it might be a little trickier to show them their existing data so they can update it. Does your existing data contain their email addresses?
If so, it would be possible to import submissions, and then send each of them an email containing the edit link for their (imported) submission data. So the people with existing data could update their data from the links in their email, and the rest would simply submit new submissions on your form.

Jeff Gordon And Brooke Sealey Divorce After Seven Years Of Marriage
January 20, 2012 by staff
Jeff Gordon And Brooke Sealey Divorce After Seven Years Of Marriage, After 7 years of peaceful married life, Brooke Sealey filed for divorce from Jeff Gordon in 2002. Jeff or Jeffery Michael Gordon is a professional race car driver in the United States. When Jeff won a Busch race, he met Brooke Sealey for the first time.
At that time, Sealey was a college student. On 26th November 1994, this pair got married in North Carolina. Brook mentioned marital discord as the ground of divorce.
Brooke was guaranteed of the 15.3 million USD as it was decided to sell 2 properties. In court papers, she asked for exclusive use of the couple's oceanfront home, valued at $9 million, as well as alimony, two cars and periodic use of their boats and an airplane. Gordon's divorce from Sealey became tabloid fodder.

Animal Protein Gaining Ground Among Consumers: NPD
Beef, chicken identified as best sources of protein
As consumers incorporate more protein into their diets, a new survey from The NPD Group finds that animal proteins like meat and fish are among the most popular, with 60 percent of respondents saying they eat such foods every day.
NPD's Protein Perceptions and Needs report identified beef and chicken as the best sources of protein, followed closely by fish, and pork, ham, shellfish, lamb and bacon trailing behind. Consumers are also less likely to cite dairy and eggs as the best sources of protein.
The NPD report segments protein consumers into three categories: Traditional Protein Purists, those who are much more likely to consider animal proteins as their main source of protein; Flexible Protein Users; and Knowledgeable but Indifferent.
"While Traditional Protein Purists stick to their traditional meat sources for protein, they are also likely to have more meals that are rounded out with vegetables and grains," said Darren Seifer, NPD food and beverage industry analyst.
"Unlike Flexible Protein Users, it would be difficult to convince these protein consumers to use a different protein source than animal protein," Seifer adds. "For food manufacturers and retailer to reach this group, it's a matter of understanding and reflecting their needs in product development and marketing messaging."

The duties of four police officers attached to the Moragahahena police have been suspended subsequent to the clash which occurred between police and a group of civilians in the Horana, Moragahahena-Yahalakele-waththa area last night.
According to Police Media Spokesperson SSP Prishantha Jayakodi the decision to suspend these police officers had been reached based on investigations carried out on the incident so far.
Police who had travelled to the Yahala-kale-waththa area in Horana last night in order to arrest a suspect who had been accused of abuse charges had been attacked with stones by relatives of the accused.
According to Police Media Spokesperson SSP Ajith Rohana a tense situation had arisen subsequently.
Speaking further he noted that police had however managed to arrest the suspect.
3 police officers as well as 8 civilians were injured during the altercation.

Traditional Indian sports like mallkhamb, kabaddi and kho-kho are doing their best to be recognised and gain wider appeal.
An unwitting victim of the storm that rocked last year's Commnwealth Games in Delhi was mallkhamb, the traditional Indian form of gymnastics performed on a wooden pole or rope. "Suresh Kalmadi had agreed that mallkhamb would be showcased at the inaugural and closing ceremonies," says Uday Deshpande, general secretary of the Mallkhamb Federation of India (MFI) and head coach at the Shree Samartha Vyayam Mandir in Shivaji Park, Mumbai, where around 500 children learn mallkhamb. "We had even sent information about the players that the organising committee had asked for. But for some reason it didn't happen; perhaps they thought Bollywood-style entertainment was better," says Deshpande.
Deshpande's disappointment is understandable: showcasing mallkhamb at the Commonwealth Games — the first international multi-sporting event on Indian soil in 28 long years — would have been wonderful publicity for the sport that traces its history back to the 12th century and was revived and given its modern form in the 19th century by Balambhatta Dada Deodhar, physical instructor to Bajirao II, the last Peshwa of the Marathas. Even today mallkhamb has large following in Maharashtra and centres of the erstwhile Maratha empire such as Ujjain, Gwalior and Vadodara; it is also practised by the Maratha Light Infantry's 1st Battalion. In the past decade or so, the sport has spread its appeal further afield to Punjab, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal. Annual mallkhamb championships are being held since 1962, and the sport is "recognised" by the Railways and banks. Mallkhamb was a demonstration sport at the 1994 National Games in Pune, although it hasn't yet made it to the competitive category.
These have been through the efforts of MFI, formed in 1980 and recognised by the Union sports ministry and the Indian Olympic Association, with 29 state associations affiliated to it. Such recognition is important because it brings with it the funds to hold national-level championships — according to the National Sports Policy of 2001, MFI gets Rs 4 lakh a year for junior-level meets, Rs 6 lakh for the sub-junior level and Rs 2 lakh for the senior-levels. "That's enough for us," says Deshpande, "since most of our players come from lower-middle classes and are happy with second-class train tickets."
In recent times, mallkhamb has also been showcased in mainstream entertainment — it was performed by actress Isha Sharvani in the film Kisna (2005) and the Lokmanya Tilak Group performed mallkhamb to come second in the first season of India's Got Talent in 2009. "Mallkhamb is the most complete exercise for the human body and brings unparalleled fitness and flexibility," says Deshpande. Lately, many countries such as Germany, USA, Japan, France, Portugal, Malaysia and Singapore have started to recognise this. A few months ago, Deshpande was in Munich for nearly 30 days, conducting mallkhamb workshops for nearly 100 children — in the course of the last eight years it has become a yearly assignment. Mallkhamb workshops are also held in various cities in the USA since 1997; in February 2002, the sport was included in the World Yoga Championship held in Brazil. "Our goal," says Deshpande, "is to form an international federation and seek affiliation to the International Olympic Association."
* * *
International Olympic affiliation is also the ambition of Suresh Sharma, secretary general of the Kho-kho Federation of India. Of course, kho-kho, another traditional sport which traces its roots to ancient India, has greater visibility and institutional recognition than mallkhamb in India and abroad — kho-kho has had national championships since 1959, it's been a part of the inter-university tournament since 1952 and, in 1985, it was introduced in the National Games. Kho-kho was an exhibition sport way back in the 1936 Berlin Olympics; in 1982, it was demonstrated at the Asian Games, and, in 2005, at the first Afro-Asian Games. It didn't make it to the competitive level in these games, but an Asian kho-kho championship is being held since 1996, not very regularly, though, rues Sharma, for lack of sponsors. The Asian Kho-Kho Federation was formed in 1987, which has eight members now — China, Korea, Mali, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh and Pakistan, besides India. Plans are afoot, says Sharma, to institute a federation in Bhutan as well. (There were talks initially to include it in the demonstration sport category at the Delhi Commonwealth Games but the talks came to naught.) "Did you know," asks Sharma, "that cricketer Kiran More played in the kho-kho national chamiponship as part of the team from Vadodara? Sandip Patil, Sachin Tendulkar and Sunil Gavaskar all played the sport in their school days. In fact, Yuvraj Singh was playing kho-kho to warm up in 2006 when he was seriously injured."
The plan ahead, says Sharma, is to have a kho-kho league, just like the Indian Premier League for cricket. "Kho-kho has a huge following, especially in rural India," Sharma explains. "I was at Pangaluru, a small village in the Prakasam district of Andhra Pradesh where the National Kho-kho Championship was held in May this year. There were enthusiastic crowds of 25,000 people who came to see the matches every day. The villages nearby had raised the money to pay for all the arrangements and the medals, which were made of real gold and silver."An IPL-like tournament for kho-kho might not be a bad idea at all, considering that in June this year kabaddi had a "premier league".
* * *
Kabaddi is, of course, among the best known of all the traditional sports of India, and has come furthest along the road to acceptability as a bona fide sport. Kabaddi has been a competition sport at the Asian Games since the 1990 Beijing edition; it has an international federation with 31 members, including countries such as Chinese Taipei, Turkmenistan and the West Indies that you would never imagine played the game; a World Kabaddi Championship is being played since 1995 besides an international women's tournament sponsored by Nike. Kabaddi is also played as a professional sport in Canada, the USA and Britain, primarily by expatriates from Punjab who have settled in these countries in large numbers.
Eight teams, each with dashing names to rival those in the cricket IPL — Delhi Dashers, Lanco Lions, Hyderabad Horses, Dr Anand Ongole Bulls, etc. — played at the first Kabaddi premier league in Vijayawada, a nine-day event. "We had fixed Rs 25 lakh as the price for each of the franchisees, but single sponsors were not willing to shell out so much; so the teams went to groups who pooled in," says Jagadeeshwar Yadav, the general secretary of the Amateur Kabaddi Federation of India. As for the booty, it was a handsome Rs 10 lakh for the winner, Rs 5 lakh each for the runners-up, Rs 1 lakh to the player of the tournament, and so on. But that pales in comparison to the Rs 1 crore that the Punjab government offered the winning team of the first Kabaddi World Cup, a tournament that had numerous corporate sponsors such as Parle-G, and real estate companies Omaxe and Pearl's. At this year's tournament, which begins on November 1, Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal has announced the prize money will be doubled, to Rs 2 crore. Also, Shah Rukh Khan is slated to perform at the opening ceremony.
Where does kabaddi go from here? "Our goal," says Yadav, "is to include kabaddi in the competitive category in the 2020 Olympics. Already the game is played by 31 countries; we need another 19 countries and are doing our best to promote it."

Mr. DURBIN. Mr. President, we have come to the day that many pundits solemnly mark as the day for taking the measure of a president: his 100th day in office.
In reality, there is little real difference between the 99th day of Barack Obama's term and the 100th day, but there is value in taking stock, in assessing whether we are on track and whether adequate progress is being made.
From the moment our new President was sworn in, he faced enormous economic problems, rising unemployment, and a financial system nearly in meltdown. He was inaugurated as the Commander in Chief of two wars, with trouble brewing in other nations around the world. And he faced daunting challenges in the areas of health care reform, education, and energy policy.
There are many ways he could have begun. Calvin Coolidge once said:
Perhaps one of the most important accomplishments of my administration has been minding my own business.
Teddy Roosevelt had a different view:
Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who ..... live in the gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.
There is no question which view our new President embraced. Barack Obama took the view that we must ``dare mighty things.'' He hit the ground running, and our Nation is better off for it.
In the midst of a recession that many compared to the beginnings of the Great Depression, perhaps these lines from Franklin Roosevelt's first inaugural address seemed appropriate:
There are many ways [the Depression] can be helped, but it can never be helped by merely talking about it. We must act, and we must act quickly.
That is what Barack Obama and this new Congress did.
We took action and we acted quickly.
So what have we accomplished in 100 days?
We passed the most ambitious economic recovery package in history, to create millions of jobs over the next 2 years, provide tax relief to 95 percent of all workers, and take steps to address our longer term challenges.
The legislation made a wide range of investments to restore our economic strength: It is putting people to work rebuilding roads, bridges, rail and waterways. It is developing alternative energy sources that will lessen our dependence on foreign oil. It is helping States keep police officers, teachers, and firefighters at work serving their communities. It is funding health care coverage for the least fortunate among us and helping families keep their insurance coverage if they lose a job. It combines tax cuts for working families with incentives to businesses to hire. It is improving our schools and making college more affordable. It includes longer term steps to reduce health care costs by expanding medical research and jumpstarting health information technology, which will improve efficiencies in our health care system and reduce medical errors. And it extends unemployment insurance to people who have lost their job.
This President and Congress have also extended health care coverage to millions more uninsured children of working families; preserved the principle of equal pay for equal work for America's working women; addressed the crisis in our credit markets so that small businesses, homeowners, and students could have greater access to the loans they need to move forward; and expanded our Nation's national service programs, so that more people can give back to our nation's communities and help meet local needs.
What does all of this mean for us in Illinois? We are facing tough economic times.
The Illinois unemployment rate has jumped to 9.1 percent, significantly higher than the national average of 8.5 percent.
The administration has already announced $6.5 billion in funding for Illinois from the stimulus and economic recovery legislation we passed.
That measure will create or save 157,700 jobs in Illinois over the next 2 years. Over 90 percent of the jobs will be in the private sector, in industries ranging from clean energy to health care to transportation.
Two weeks ago I travelled throughout Illinois to see first-hand how the Recovery Act is affecting workers in my State. One of my first visits was to the Rockford area, where the unemployment rate is 13.5 percent--the highest of any metropolitan area in Illinois. Many workers there have been hard hit by the state of the automobile industry.
Production at the Chrysler plant in nearby Belvidere has slowed to a crawl and hundreds of workers have been laid off.
I met some of those workers in nearby Rockford, where I visited the Eiger Lab--a manufacturing research and educational institution that works with the local community college.
The local workforce investment board used some of the $5 million in stimulus funding it received to boost enrollment of the training and education programs offered at the facility.
This funding was able to help some of the recently displaced workers begin acquiring new skills to help them find work.
The Recovery Act included $45 billion for transportation investments throughout the country.
This funding has been critical for Illinois. Illinois has already seen more than a billion dollars of this funding and may receive upwards of $2 billion for our airports, highways, mass transit and rail systems.
The Federal Aviation Administration has already announced $40 million for 10 airport improvement projects in Illinois.
One of those projects included $6 million to help build a new terminal facility at the Peoria airport. Construction is underway now and the project is moving forward thanks to the stimulus funding. The terminal project in Peoria will create between 250 and 300 jobs by the time the work is completed in October of next year. The stimulus funding for this project will not just add temporary construction jobs--it will help keep Peoria competitive in the global economy.
Airports have a major impact on a local area's economy--a modern airport and the service it provides directly affects a community's ability to create and attract new businesses to the area. Thanks to the Recovery Act, Peoria Airport will soon have a 125,000 square-foot terminal facility that will provide the airport with the additional capacity for more commercial operations and allow the airport to handle 2 million passengers per year.
This is exactly the type of investment we should be making during a downturn in the economy--targeted infrastructure investments that will make our economy stronger in the future.
And we are making this kind of investment not only in Peoria but also at other airports around the state. For example, we have provided $12 million to rehabilitate Chicago O'Hare runways; $5 million for the Rockford International Airport; $2.4 million for ramp reconstruction at the Abraham Lincoln Airport in Springfield; and $3.7 million for runway construction at the Quad Cities Airport.
The Recovery Act also included $7.5 billion for mass transit across the country. In Illinois, that funding is having an impact now. The CTA, the Nation's second largest transit agency, just announced an $88 million project to rehabilitate the subway track on Chicago's Blue Line. The Blue Line subway track was in dire need of repair. Without a massive overhaul of the track, trains would have been forced to crawl at 15 miles per hour or less through the subway.
The delays would cause transit users to leave the trains and return to their cars--multiplying the gridlock on our highways and adding to the pollution in our air.
The CTA could not find the funds to overhaul the track and instead has been spending millions in maintaining track that is many years beyond its useful life.
The funding in the Recovery Act allowed the CTA to start replacing the track last week and the CTA expects to create or save 400 jobs by doing so.
The renewed subway track will also save the CTA millions of dollars in maintenance costs, allowing the transit agency to making badly needed improvements in other parts of the system.
The Recovery Act is also saving jobs and improving lives with an $84 billion investment in education and training. The funding has helped schools avoid layoffs and is providing job training in new and expanding fields.
Investing States face difficult choices in addressing their budget gaps. Education funding provided by the Recovery Act has made those decisions slightly less painful, saving teaching jobs and keeping classrooms smaller.
Last week, Illinois received $1.4 billion in Recovery Act funding through the State Fiscal Stabilization Fund. With that funding, the State will avoid severe cutbacks in education and help prevent layoffs of teachers and staff.
Illinois also has received nearly $500 million so far in increased funding for special education and the title I program for disadvantaged students.
With the Recovery Act, this President and the Congress have helped ensure that Illinois schools and children do not fall victim to the recession.
I want to say an additional word about Pell grants, which are an important component of this education investment.
The recovery package included $13.9 billion to increase the maximum Pell grant by $281 next year and by $400 in the 2010-2011 academic year.
Students will be able to receive assistance up to a maximum of around $5,000 in the 2009-2010 school year and $5,300 the following year.
This will bring us closer to closing the gap between the value of a Pell grant and the cost of higher education.
A Pell grant increase will help 7 million Americans--including 275,000 Pell grant recipients in Illinois--finance their education without going even deeper into student loan debt.
The Recovery Act isn't the only legislation enacted that is strengthening the country. Last week, the President signed the Edward Kennedy Serve America Act into law. This new law will triple the number of national service participants to 250,000 participants within 8 years.
Along with this expansion, the bill will also create new service corps within AmeriCorps focused on areas of national need--education, the environment, health care, economic opportunity, and veterans.
The bill will also increase the education award for the first time since the creation of the national service program and make it transferable, so that older volunteers can transfer the education award to their children or grandchildren.
In my State of Illinois, 2.7 million volunteers provide 300 million hours of service each year. The estimated annual economic contribution of these hours is $5.9 billion.
More than 66,000 of these Illinois volunteers are participating in national service programs through 144 different projects and programs.
Because of the Serve America Act, more volunteers will be able to serve and improve communities across Illinois.
Another legislative accomplishment worth mentioning is the Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act, which will provide health coverage for an additional 4 million children nationwide. The CHIP program has allowed the State of Illinois to reach more children than ever before by supplementing the state's All Kids Initiative. Today, 1.8 million Illinoisans are without health insurance, including 350,000 children. Currently, the All Kids program covers more than 1.5 million children in the state--170,000 under the CHIP program alone. But the State wants to reach Illinois's remaining 250,000 uninsured children by doing more with the program.
With new funds and a formula that takes into consideration the individual needs of the State, Illinois can cover an additional 30,000 kids just with the CHIP program. Mr. President, 30,000 children who are uninsured today will have the ability to see a doctor, get a check-up, and stay healthy--thanks to the work we have accomplished here in the first 100 days of the Obama administration.
Let me return one more time to the Economic Recovery Act, because that package is addressing health care and the health care system in dramatic ways.
The law will help many working families continue to pay for health insurance after the loss of a job through what is known as the COBRA insurance program.
The average monthly unemployment benefit in Illinois is just over $1,300, while the average monthly family COBRA premium is just over $1,100. That means a newly unemployed breadwinner in Illinois would have to spend 84 percent of his or her jobless benefits to pay for family health insurance.
In the Recovery Act, we were able to provide a 65 percent premium subsidy for individuals who lose their jobs, or lost them after September, to help cover the cost of COBRA premiums.
The measure also will help keep the doors open for health care services for millions of people who have been hit hard by this economic downturn.
Rising unemployment and falling State tax revenues have put the States' Medicaid Program in a bind. Just as more people need Medicaid and other publicly funded health programs, States are having increased difficulty meeting the surging need while also balancing their budgets.
The recovery package will provide an additional $2.9 billion for Illinois over the next 2 years allowing the State to pay its providers and meet the increased demand for services as the newly uninsured turn to the State for help.
Nearly 1 million families in Illinois have at least one uninsured family member and 360,000 families making above $50,000 have at least one uninsured family member. More and more Illinoisans are seeking community health centers as their medical home. Since 2000, Illinois community health centers have more than doubled the number of patients they serve--from less than 500,000 then to 1.1 million today. The needs in the community have only increased as the economy struggles--and the recovery package invests $1.5 billion in community health centers. Illinois received more than $20 million for more than 300 clinic sites around the state that are providing quality, affordable health care to anyone in need.
I have only scratched the surface of what we have accomplished in these past 100 days. Among the other steps we taken to address needs, specifically in Illinois: $147 million for Argonne National Laboratory and Fermilab; $49 million for improvements to the EJ&E bridge near Morris, which is currently the biggest safety concern for ship traffic on the 300-mile-long Illinois River; $20 million for the Rock Island Arsenal; more than $6 million for the Great Lakes Naval Station; and more than $6 million for continued work on the barrier project to prevent the spread of invasive species, including Asian Carp, in the Great Lakes.
This President and this Congress will continue to work to address the needs of our nation.
We have made important progress in these first 100 days. We still have a long way to go.
This President is invested in rebuilding this economy, restoring our diplomatic strength around the world, reforming our health care system and taking concrete steps to reduce global warming. We have only just begun.

I know markets differ from place to place and all, but I just thought I'd get some opinions. Do you think that $900 a month is too much for a commercial space? I think it's 2400 sq feet. However, I would have to install the kitchen myself as it does not have one currently.
No one? Reallly? No one rents their own shop?
I think thats a really good price, but it depends on your area. I pay $3000 a month for my 2000 sq ft and that doesn't include gas, trash, or electricity.
Whooops! Put this in the wrong forum!!
ugh.....The commercial buildings around us cost 23 a square foot.
depends on your area, but I live in rural NC and the going rate is about that. If you have that in Rome, GA, which I don't remember being rural, I'd say jump on it.
we pay over $6000 a month for 1600 sqft just depends on where your location is.

GIANTS (37-29) vs.
Coverage begins at 6 P.M. on Comcast SportsNet Bay Area
ARIZONA (AP) -- It's not a surprise the reigning World Series champion San Francisco Giants are atop the NL West. That the Arizona Diamondbacks are a close second, however, is.
With Matt Cain on the mound, the Giants look to prevent the surging Diamondbacks from overtaking them for the division lead Tuesday night in the opener of a three-game set at Chase Field.
Banged up and weary, the Giants (37-29) head into this first-place showdown following their first off day after going 10-10 during a stretch of 20 straight games.
Despite catcher Buster Posey lost with a broken leg and second baseman Freddy Sanchez out indefinitely with a dislocated shoulder, San Francisco has a one-half game lead over Arizona (37-30), which has won 22 of 30.
URBAN: Sanchez rehab plan is risky
"To still be in first place shows we've battled through it so far, and things should be better," right fielder Nate Schierholtz said.
That could come with the expected return of slugger Pablo Sandoval, who has been out since April 29 with a broken hand. Sandoval, batting .313 with five homers and 14 RBIs, is a lifetime .361 hitter with eight home runs and 30 RBIs versus Arizona.
San Francisco's starting pitchers did not receive more than three runs of support in any game of a 6-4 homestand that concluded Sunday with a 4-2 win over Cincinnati. The Giants are 22-5 when they give their starters three or more runs and 15-24 when they score two or fewer.
"If we hit a lick, we might be 10 games over the Diamondbacks," said first baseman Aubrey Huff, batting .321 with four RBIs the last seven games."
REWIND: Giants stage late rally to top Reds, split series
Cain (5-4, 3.36 ERA) has not needed much support in winning his last two starts - giving up two runs and nine hits in 16 innings with 18 strikeouts. He struck out a season-high 11 on Wednesday and threw a five-hitter in beating Washington 3-1 on Wednesday.
The right-hander has been almost as dominant while going 2-0 with a 1.98 ERA versus Arizona this season. He's also allowed one run and seven hits in 14 innings to win his last two at Chase Field, including April 15 when he yielded that run and four hits in a 5-2 victory.
San Francisco is 5-1 versus Arizona in 2011, and has won eight of 10 at Chase Field. However, the Diamondbacks have won 10 of 13 at home and took the final three of a four-game road set at Florida.
"This will be a good check for us," manager Kirk Gibson told the Diamondbacks' official website. "We're looking forward to that. They're a good team. We're good too."
Arizona also will hand the ball to rookie Josh Collmenter (4-1, 1.12 ERA), who has a 13-inning scoreless streak. A converted starter, Collmenter has allowed four earned runs in 34 1-3 innings to go 3-1 in six starts.
The right-hander gave up four hits in five innings but did not factor in the decision of a 2-0 win at Pittsburgh on Thursday.
"He's been a challenge for everybody so far," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said.
This is Collmenter's first start against the Giants, but he pitched two scoreless innings of relief to earn the win in a 6-5, 12-inning home victory April 17.
Catcher Miguel hit three doubles and had four RBIs in Monday's 12-9 win at Florida. He's hit .444 with six RBIs his last four games, but is 2 for 18 versus San Francisco this season.
Teammate Stephen Drew has batted .379 with 11 RBIs his last 15 games, and .344 with three homers against Cain.

To ensure financial aid processing before the beginning of classes, FAFSAs must be completed at least 15 business days Data the first day of the term, and all verification documents must be received in the Financial Aid Office at least ten business days prior to the first day of the term.
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is available online at www.fafsa.gov. The FSA ID used to log into the FAFSA can be created at fsaid.ed.gov.
The following are resource tools will make completing the FAFSA easier: Tips and Common Mistakes to Avoid , 7 Common FAFSA Mistakes , 12 Common FAFSA Mistakes , Tips for Unique Situations , 7 Easy Steps to the FAFSA , Who is My Parent , FAFSA and FSA ID Tips for Parents , Creating and Using the FSA ID and How to Create an FSA ID.
Please note that it is best to utilize the IRS Data Retrieval Tool, if available, when completing the FAFSA. A "How To" video for using the retrieval tool is available by clicking here, or review printable instructions detailing how to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool here. Not only will using this IRS Data Retrieval Tool make the application process easier, but it will also speed the verification process considerably. If you choose not to utilize the IRS Data Retrieval Tool when filing your FAFSA online or are not allowed access to do so, then a copy of your "tax return transcript" will be needed if selected for verification by the federal processing center for that tax year's FAFSA. In the past, Gadsden State was able to accept copies of completed tax return forms (i.e., 1040, 1040A, etc); however, new regulations now require us to have a signed copy of your tax return transcript. Once you have filed your tax return, a tax transcript can be requested, free of charge, at the IRS Web site at http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/Get-Transcript or by calling 1-800-908-9946.

I'm actually fine with opening things up for casual fans -- EA has to expand its audience somehow -- but these gameplay alterations have no nuance or subtlety to them. Use them and you win -- I dare you to find a way to fail. Ignore them and you have the same level of complexity from previous years. There's no middle ground, which is a shame. I'm quite certain a lot of casual gamers want something that's easier to get into, but doesn't make them feel like children. Even children don't like being treated like children.
Online play hasn't changed much at all. It works well and there's still the option for an Online Dynasty (which can be imported to an offline mode). There's otherwise not much to say since the experience is basically the same.
The real focus of NCAA Football 10 is a robust new feature set. The gameplay is still good, a lot like last year, but the features are definitely a step up. The one that seemed to make the biggest splash was the announcement of Road to Glory featuring Erin Andrews. Don't be fooled, this is actually just Campus Legend mode from last year with new packaging. But that packaging is Erin Andrews. She's your host, so thumbs up!
The other two major feature additions are actually new to the series and should be added in some way to every future EA Sports product. They are just that good. Teambuilder lets you create your own team. This is nothing new to sports games, but you have a level of customization (and ease of use) that far exceeds what EA has offered in the past. That's because EA took the bold move of removing the teambuilding function from the console and put it on a PC. You have to access a free website in order to make your team, but doing so is much easier than if you were stuck using a controller.
You can create your own custom logos for use in every aspects of NCAA Football 10 -- in the menus, on the playing field, on uniforms. Full uniform customization is also there, along with the ability to create any player you like. Create-a-player is also built into the disc and doesn't require the use of a PC, but it's a lot faster to type in names with a keyboard and navigate a PC menu than it is slowly building a player with a controller. Importing your team is easy enough (though after 12 teams you have to pay) and others can download your teams as well. Feel free to download IGN's custom-made TRL University so you can enjoy playing as The Red Lights in 360 Graveyard Arena.
The only thing curiously absent from this is the ability to create your own plays. College football is known for its trickery. Who wouldn't want to create their own twist on the Statue of Liberty play? Unfortunately, you're stuck with what's already in the playbook.
The other new feature is, for me at least, more exciting. Season Showdown mode captures the fanaticism of college football. You get to pick one team to be your Season Showdown horse. Pick wisely, because there is no going back. Once selected, you are part of a season-long tournament to see which NCAA Football 10 team can garner the most points. Whatever mode you play (even Family Play), you are earning points that go into a collective pool.
Say you're a Penn State alum. You play as the Nittany Lions in your Online Dynasty Mode and even make sure your created player in Road to Glory goes to State. You're just plain nuts about Happy Valley. When you play, all your skill points (for tackles, big plays, TD throws, etc.), your sportsmanship (for kicking on fourth down) are tallied at the end of every game and sent through Cyberspace to EA's servers. And your old college roommate who does the same has his score added to Penn State's total as well, as does anyone who choose Penn State as their Season Showdown team.
How this will play out over the course of a real college season remains to be seen, but it's a great idea. It's already begun to change how I play games. Sportsmanship is the only category where you can lose points. So where I would normally toss a bomb on fourth down for the hell of it, I'm more likely to punt. And when the score is 45-0 in the fourth quarter, I eat up clock instead of trying to double the score. You might not like that kind of alteration to your game, but give EA credit -- they finally found a way to get people to try and play true college football.
NCAA Football 10 isn't a revolutionary step forward for the franchise. I'm still waiting on the game for this generation of console that makes me want to play it more than Madden. That's still yet to happen. That said, this is a more polished version of last year's game with some solid feature additions. While I'm not gaga over NCAA Football 10, it's definitely a great game and one I'll be playing for at least another month.

A Pilot Intervention to Address Fear of Recurrence in Breast Cancer Survivors
Fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) is pervasive, distressing and undermines quality of life in
cancer survivors. For subgroups of survivors, FCR is implicated in both treatment
non-adherence and medical over-utilization. Although some degree of FCR is nearly universal
among cancer patients, effective psychological interventions have been understudied.
Educational and cognitive approaches that have relied on reassurance may feed into the
anxiety by encouraging experiential avoidance, according to behavioral theories of anxiety.
Mindfulness and values based living approaches teach techniques for reducing experiential
avoidance allowing patients to break this cycle and focus on functional, satisfying lives.
Interventions based on these techniques offer promise for addressing FCR in breast cancer
Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Article by David Malmo-Levine
Thinking of putting on a marijuana march or pot protest in your hometown? I have been organizing rallies and events for 20 years, both in Edmonton and Vancouver. Here's some advice based on my experience and past mistakes.
- Accept the possibility of arrest. First of all, you must accept arrest as the possible price of pot activism. Remember that it is better to get busted out in the open with all your friends watching and the cameras rolling and the media there, than late at night, all alone, with no one watching. Once you have accepted arrest as inevitable (and our foes promise this is true), then you can decide to get arrested on your terms, not theirs. You are then free to crank the dignity and fun level up to "11″ – have a bud raffle, best plant contest, and so on.
- Learn from others. Plenty of event organizers are floating around who have hard-earned and valuable insights. Join the discussion on various internet discussion forums, and get in touch with other activists.
- Pick the right time and date. A good time to start your event is 2pm. Any earlier and you will have smaller crowd. The biggest rally in Vancouver is April 20th, and the biggest rally in Toronto is the Global Marijuana March – always the first Saturday in May. Remember that most people have jobs and often cannot attend events during their workday. Another great day for a rally is July 1st – "Cannabis Day".
- The best opportunities for a successful smoke-in are when another large crowd is keeping the police busy and the streets are full of curious onlookers, like holidays, fireworks, etc. However, you don't want to compete with other major events that might draw away your crowd. Try to work synergistically; perhaps you can time your event so that you get people who are leaving an earlier event.
- Make a poster. Find someone who can design a poster with eye-catching graphics and easy-to-read text. List the event's time and place clearly, as well as attractions like speakers, drummers, marching bands, face painters, circus performers, free marijuana, and so on. If you can come up with prizes, your poster should say "prizes will be handed out for best costume and sign" and "no booze or anger, but bring all your buds." It should also include a contact number "to volunteer, help put up posters or for more information."
- Posters stay up longer with a 10:1 mix of water and wood glue. They stay up even longer if you haul a ladder around with you and put them high up. That or attach a brush to a long pole and balance the poster on the end of it after having prepared the pole and the brush with some glue. Have smaller posters ready for small poles. Add a dash of eye-catching color to the posters by coloring the pot leaves.
- Print an easy-to-read leaflet (mini-poster) to hand out at rock concerts, skate demos, festivals and other youth-culture activities. Distribute posters and leaflets to all compassion clubs, hemp stores, youth retail stores, clubs, alternative and campus radio, and newspapers.
- Print as many posters and leaflets as possible, but use what you print. 10,000 leaflets and 1,000 posters can cover a major city. Distribute them through school, work, and activist networks.
- Posters and leaflets should be printed and ready at least eight weeks before your event. Your entire city or region should be covered by them at least one month before the day of the smoke-in.
- Make banners. Banners can be hung behind and around the speakers and any musicians. They can also be carried during a parade. Simple slogans and big pot leaves always work well.
- Try to get a permit. Your permit will almost certainly be denied, but you should ask anyways. If a permit is denied, hold the smoke-in regardless, citing your constitutional right to free expression. Either way, send out a press release immediately regarding the city approving or withholding a permit – it's an opportunity for advance publicity for the rally.
- Do not sacrifice any previously-gained tolerance (such as glass pipe sales) to gain a permit, as it is better to go without a permit than without dignity. Trying to work within the bureaucracy can often drain your energy and dilute your focus. If a permit is obtained, think about obtaining a real sound system and some rock bands. If you are planning a very large event, then insurance should be considered. Try to find a sympathetic lawyer to agree to help out if something goes wrong with the permit application or if someone gets busted. Unless you have deep pockets, you should look for an activist lawyer who will trade free legal services for an opportunity to address the crowd.
Send out a press release. All local and regional media should be told of the event at least one week before the event. Make sure your fax press release has the date, place, time, reason for being and contact info. You should also call up sympathetic reporters to tell them personally about your event and invite them to attend.
When being interviewed by the media, pick a simple theme in advance and keep repeating it.
- Keep it peaceful. Make an announcement at the beginning of the smoke-in that everyone there swears on their honor to not hurt anyone, not break anything, but to just make a whole lot of noise. That really gets the crowd going and deters provocateurs.
- Plan out your parade. If there is to be a parade, make sure the most stoned people are not leading the crowd. Have some solid folks out front, carrying a big banner. Make sure they pull it tight so people can read it. Also ensure that they walk really slowly, to keep your mob tight. Have a well-planned route that your front-banner-carrying folks all know ahead of time. Make sure your route doesn't send you head-on into oncoming traffic, that it is in a very public, high foot-traffic area, and that your route is given to the local fire department.
- Give away marijuana. If you can afford it and are brave, then joints or other canna-treats can be given out. Make sure this is done within the middle of the crowd, quietly, perhaps even with the distributor wearing a "Groucho" mask. You can also ask the crowd to sit down in groups of five and pass them one joint each and ask them to share. Getting them to all sit down first is essential, as otherwise there will be a stampede.
- Film the police. Have some brave people designated to follow any "harassment" cops around with cameras. They should constantly ask the police officers questions, such as why there are "grow busters" but no "rape busters," or their thoughts on the relative harm of cannabis as compared to caffeine, alcohol or tobacco. The people wielding the cameras should be firm but polite with the police, and should not have any marijuana on their person. Their goal is not to enrage the police, but rather to keep them distracted and show them that they are being filmed.
- Get musicians. If you have money, pay talented musicians to perform drug-peace songs, or thespians to perform short drug-peace dramas. Otherwise convince them to perform for free or for a few joints.
- Have a literature table. If you live in British Columbia, contact "Sensible B.C." at sensiblebc.ca … (provide link to downloadable info here).
- Collect names and numbers. Remember to collect names and phone numbers of smoke-in attendees who want to help with the next smoke-in or other activism.
- Send the video of your event to our website here: (link to page about uploading videos).
- Keep it fun. It's usually better to keep your event light and positive. Try to make your event a fun celebration rather than an angry protest.
- Nobody is expecting perfection – your best efforts will be more than enough to get the job done.
Hug Power
"Hug Power" is a technique that may be practiced in some of the more tolerant areas. It can be very effective in stopping police arrests, but it is a risky tactic that will only work under the right circumstances.
Hug Power is used when you wish to deter and prevent arrests, sometimes even resulting in an "un-arresting" or "de-arresting" of the cannabis criminal out of the hands of the police.
Hug Power is practiced simply by a group of people all hugging the person who is being unfairly arrested. If a large number of people are all holding on tightly to each other, with the intended arrestee in the middle, then the police have to pull off a large number of non-violent protesters to reach their target.
I have used this technique at a number of rallies in Edmonton and Vancouver. We have successfully stopped the police from making their arrest a number of times.
To practice Hug Power, you need the crowd to understand what to do. Make an announcement at the beginning of the rally after the anti-provocateur speech.
Take a poll and find out if people are prepared to defend each other using non-violent arrest-resistance tactics. Explain to the crowd that Hug Power does not mean "hug the police" – it means "hug the person getting arrested."
Explain that Hug Power only works on victimless criminals, and only works when video cameras are around to record the unjustifiable use of force by police. Explain that one is not to touch the police during Hug Power. The point is to obstruct the arrest only. Police should always be spoken to politely, but firmly.
If you are practicing Hug Power, be prepared for the real possibility of getting roughed up or beaten by the cops at some point. The cops still have "Rodney King-o-phobia" – they hate getting caught on film using force without clear justification. So be sure to have plenty of independent cameramen and videographers at all your events! The chance of being caught on film is the best deterrent to police violence and your ultimate victory.
There's no financial reason to not protest insane, evil, monopolistic pot laws! You can organize a public rally with as little as $300 – here is a list of what you need, with approximate costs, in order to hold a "basic rally":
- Posters, buckets, brushes, glue: $100-$200
- Signs and banners: $100-$200
- Press release & fax machine: Borrow
- Megaphone: $15/day rental
- Or better yet… Microphone and amp: $40-$90/day rental
- Hemp string/rope (for putting up banners): $10
- Garbage bags: $5
- Broom and dustpan: Borrow
- A few joints for 4:20 and volunteers: $50-$100
- A musician with an acoustic guitar: Slip them a joint
- Reps from med clubs & activist groups: Slip them joints
- Prizes for best costume, sign, plant: Hemp-store donations
- Camera crew – video and still cameras: Slip them joints
- Bottles of water: $30
- First aid kit: Borrow
Total: $300-$650
The second list is for a "Fancy Rally", which is everything "Basic" plus promotion and equipment upgrades, and a budget for "special touches". This type of rally will require sponsors and patrons of the rebellious arts, perhaps an association of seed breeders or sellers, hemp store owners, growers and dealers:
- Posters and banners: $1,000 minimum
- Ads on radio and in weekly papers: $1,500
- Sound system and system operator: $800-$2,200
- Rock, jazz, folk and/or reggae bands: $400-$1,000 each
- Stage: Prices vary
- Fly-in speakers and entertainers: Prices vary
- Large open-air tent: $300 to own; can be rented
- Chairs and table: Borrow or rent
- Pamphlets, CC back-issues and other info: $300

Higginbotham plans long stay
Danny Higginbotham hopes to finish his career with Stoke after recently signing a new deal.
Last Updated: 02/11/10 12:42pm
Danny Higginbotham hopes to finish his career with Stoke after recently signing a new deal.
The defender, 31, last week put pen to paper on a contract that will keep him at the Britannia Stadium until 2013.
He is not currently part of Tony Pulis' first-choice line-up but had no hesitation in committing his future to the Potters.
Higginbotham is looking forward to fighting for his place and has no intention of leaving the club before he hangs up his boots.
"I would love to see out my career here," Higginbotham, who did leave Stoke once before returning after a single season with Sunderland, told The Sentinel.
"I have been here four years now and this is where I've enjoyed my career the most.
"I'm settled in the area. I'm close to my family, I got married in the summer and there's a lot of good people at this football club."
Top of that list is Pulis, who persuaded Higginbotham to first come to Stoke in 2006 and then offered him a route back once it became apparent the former Manchester United trainee had not settled on Wearside.
"It is no coincidence the manager has brought out the best out in me," said Higginbotham.
"People questioned me coming to Stoke but the manager sold the club to me.
"He has got the knack of bringing the best out of players and he really resurrected my career. I have a lot to thank him for."

Siam Sunset (91 mins, 15)
Directed by John Polson; starring Linus Roache, Danielle Cormack
One effect of the House Un-American Activities Committee's investigation of Hollywood was to impose on liberal moviemakers a code of silence comparable to the omerta of the Mafia and the anti-sneaking ethos of the English public-school system, thus leading to the condemnation of On the Waterfront as a defence of the informer.
Equally, The Godfather trilogy helped reinforce the ancient myth of honour among thieves. James Gray's The Yards, a downbeat crime movie every bit as sombre as his Little Odessa of five years ago, gives the lie to both notions.
The picture begins and ends with its 24-year-old protagonist, Leo (Mark Wahlberg), alone on a New York elevated railway, first heading home after serving 18 months for 'grand theft auto', later quitting his blue-collar Catholic community in Queen's for blowing the whistle on municipal corruption that involves local politicians, the police, transit officials, railroad contractors and the underworld.
His homecoming party is a small-scale affair, a parodic, anti-epic version of the wedding reception with which The Godfather starts. Leo is praised for taking the rap alone and not ratting on his glamorous chum, Willie (Joaquin Phoenix), and his aunt's new husband, a prosperous manufacturer of railway equipment, (James Caan), who suggests he take a mechanical apprenticeship for two years.
But Leo needs an immediate income to support his proud, ailing mother (Ellen Burstyn). So he's led once more off the straight and narrow by Willie, who han dles the rough stuff for Caan, paying off corrupt civil servants and sabotaging his rivals' rolling-stock.
Leo is that old American standby, the three-time loser, and - a little too rapidly - he's on the run, wanted for a murder he didn't commit. His supposed friends plan to kill him to save their own skins, and only his mother and his beautiful cousin (Charlize Theron) help him.
Ultimately, his survival depends on co-operating with the DA's department in trying to destroy the system, though his subsequent chances of securing life insurance at reasonable rates wouldn't be too strong. The movie is fairly predictable and towards the end a trifle perfunctory.
But there's no glamorous varnish on the events, the mood is doom-laden (the score includes a version of 'Saturn' from Holst's Planet Suite) and a formidable cast bury themselves in their unglamorous roles.
Devils or angels turn up in the cinema most weeks nowadays, the current offering, Bedazzled, being a re-make of Stanley Donen's moderately amusing 1967 British comedy, written by Peter Cook and Dudley Moore, that starred Cook as Mephistopheles offering seven wishes to Dud's lovestruck London nebbish.
The Devil is now a glamorous, confident Elizabeth Hurley who runs a Faust-aid post in San Francisco and darts hyperactively around town looking and talking like Nigella Lawson preparing dinner. Her principal client is a gauche computer programmer (Brendan Fraser) incapable of getting his wishes right and thus always getting what Marilyn Monroe (in Some Like It Hot ) called 'the fuzzy end of the lollipop'. The result is, like Ally McBeal, very thin and quite funny.
Pitch Black is a minimalist SF horror flick arriving belatedly in the slipstream of the Alien cycle. A space bus gets into a meteor storm and crashes on a deserted planet of seemingly permanent sunlight. Underground lurk hordes of blind, carnivorous, bat-like creatures who live off visiting earthlings during brief periods of solar eclipse.
The film was shot in uninviting parts of the Australian outback, and because there are no stars it isn't easy to predict the order in which the characters will die. The most striking presence, playing a psychopathic criminal equipped to see in the dark, is Vin Diesel, one of Tom Hanks's platoon in Saving Private Ryan .
The ultra-low budget Chuck and Buck is a curious, gay-stalker movie with a certain resemblance to the Film of the Week Harry, He's Here to Help.
Buck (Mike White), a 27-year-old with the behaviour patterns of a child, invites Chuck (Chris Weitz), the schoolfriend he hasn't seen for 15 years, to his mother's funeral. Chuck, after rejecting Buck's gay advances, returns to Los Angeles, where he's a successful pop music producer with a sympathetic fiancée. But he's then relentlessly pursued by the squirmingly embarrassing Buck. We anticipate acts of violence. Instead, Buck writes a fairy tale play called Hank and Frank and strikes up a benign friendship with the middle-aged Hispanic woman (Lupe Ontiveros) who produces it at a children's theatre.
Chuck and Buck is an oddity from some very clever writers, accompanied by a 12-minute short by some other clever people. Paul Merton's The Suicidal Dog is a misanthropic comedy about the revenge enacted on a dislikeable, lower-middle-class Londoner by his neglected wife and his neutered terrier. The film is photographed by Britain's greatest Technicolor cameraman, the 86-year-old Jack Cardiff, who made his screen debut 82 years ago at the age of four and makes a fleeting appearance here at a funfair.
After the phenomenal success of The Sixth Sense , Bruce Willis must have been looking for another mystical screenplay involving himself and a child, though his own sixth sense should have told him that Disney's The Kid wasn't what he needed.
Presumably named to prevent confusion with Chaplin's The Kid, this whimsical comedy involves a workaholic Los Angeles image consultant being confronted by his eight-year-old self on the eve of his fortieth birthday. The plump lad has travelled through time to tell him that for all his apparent worldly success he hasn't become what his earlier self wanted to be, ie a married jet pilot with a family and a dog called Chester. It's a trite, sentimental piece, both confused and unoriginal.
From Australia comes the black comedy Siam Sunset, the ruthless tale of a British industrial chemist (the personable Linus Roache) who finds himself surrounded by disasters and calamities after he's widowed by a fridge falling from the skies on to his beloved wife.
Obsessed with mixing the eponymous paint that matches the colour of her hair, he takes a holiday in Australia and is stranded in the outback with fellow passengers on a rundown charabanc. The jokes derive from, among other catastrophes, car crashes, a venomous snake, starvation, an earthquake, a suicide, floods, broken limbs, and a villain who undergoes burns on an English Patient scale before being electrocuted.
Sadistic kids thrilled by Home Alone might love this movie. The location photography by Brian Breheny, who shot Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, is enchanting.

Skin Whitening Disease
Skin Whitening – Between Beauty and Health
It has been proved across the time that increasingly more individuals have a tendency to provide an elevated significance towards the way 1 person appears. These days the image is essential, it's the image that sells, the image that promotes the person. It's the image who can give that plus needed to obtain a much better job or that some thing which can attract feasible partners. With such an elevated interest on image, it's no wonder that individuals with skin imperfections really feel marginalized, are afraid of creating their way out on the planet, are afraid of attempting and unconfident in their achievement, in themselves and their possible.
Certainly one of probably the most banal skin circumstances which can seriously shake one's self-confidence in themselves will be the spotted skin or brown spots as they're recognized by population. These brown spots have much more causes of look, beginning with excessive exposure to sun, rashes, wounds or damages and ending with hormonal imbalances or other internal issues. Simply because their extremely anesthetic aspect many people attempt to eliminate these brown spots by exfoliating the skin or utilizing skin whitening creams. If this really is fairly a great answer when the brown spots are brought on by external elements, they're nearly useless when the trigger from the brown spots is definitely an internal 1. That is why, prior to really going for 1 or an additional therapy, it's extremely essential to establish the trigger which has triggered the brown spots.
As soon as you realize which was the aspect that determined the apparition of those dark patches of skin, a therapy adapted for your personal requirements ought to be followed. In most instances, brown spots are brought on by excessive sun exposure with out protection, acne, wounds, rashes or inflammations, circumstances in which a therapy of that respective region utilizing skin whitening goods or exfoliating goods will be the very best answer. However, within the instances in which the brown spots would be the outcome of an internal malfunction, the skin whitening therapy should be completed with or occasionally even preceded by a therapy which will resolve the inner issue. Only this way will the brown spots disappear and also the skin will regain its uniform colour.
As you are able to see, the brown spots are the majority of the time a sign that some thing isn't going nicely in the lever of skin or much more badly in the internal level. That is why, it's essential to think about them not just a stringent issue in the point of view of beauty, but additionally a sign of alarm for the well being.

I had a very bad fall on a Sunday evening in late November, when I went backwards and fell onto a concrete step. We sent for an ambulance and the paramedics who came were superb.
This high standard of service continued throughout my 24 hr stay in A&E and 1A wards. I could not have been looked after better by all the staff I came across, whatever their function, if I had been royalty.
I would like my appreciation to all those concerned to be passed on.
