Jennifer Grey walked out onto the patio of the Red Herring. Her costar, Matthew Modine, had taken her out for drinks to celebrate the last day of shooting on the movie Wind. Grey wrapped her expertly-manicured fingers around the metal balustrade and looked out over the Swan River. She breathed deeply. Even with the North Fremantle Peninsula between her and the Indian Ocean she could still smell the stink of briny seawater.
A white and brown seagull slowly crept towards Jennifer, its eyes shifting between her and a piece of fried shrimp sitting a few inches from Grey's shoe. When the seagull was within a foot of its meal, Jennifer kicked the morselinto the Swan River. The bird hopped backward. It beat its wings as if to express its resentment and then flew away.
Wind was no Dirty Dancing, thought Grey. (What else could be?) Hell it wasn't even Gandahar, and that was a damn cartoon. Wind was a contingency plan, a fallback. Grey shook her head.
Robert Redford had promised her the role of Doctor Lowenstein in the film adaption of Pat Conroy's novel Prince of Tides, but, for reasons that were never fully explained, Redford had forfeited the project to another production team, and she lost the part. It wasn't fair.
Footsteps approached from behind—Modine, she assumed. But before Jennifer could turn around she felt a heavy thwack on the back of her head. Then everything went dark.
Sterile light strobed through Jennifer's fluttering eyelids. She tried to sit up, but her body felt weighted and numb. Jennifer groaned.
"Don't try to move," said a woman with a voice that had the timbre of a clarinet. "You've been heavily sedated."
Although Jennifer's nerves were dampened, she could feel a dull, throbbing pain in her face. She slowly lifted her hand to her head. There was pain to the touch. Her hand recoiled. When the pain dissipated she tried again, softer this time. Her probing fingers discovered bandages covering all but her mouth and eyes.
"Wha—what have you done to me?" she whimpered.
A silhouette stepped toward the bed, eclipsing the blinding ceiling lamp. Jennifer strained to see the woman's face, but the aftereffects of the anesthesia made it hard for her eyes to focus.
"I've made some," the woman paused, "alterations."
Although Jennifer couldn't see the woman's face she sensed her cruel smile. "Why?" croaked Grey.
"Shhh. You'll need your strength to heal." The woman turned to leave. "Restrain her!" she said as she exited the room.
Two orderlies dressed in white uniforms strapped Grey's arms and legs to the bed. When she was firmly secured they left, closing the door behind them. Jennifer heard the deadbolt engage from the other side.
As days turned into weeks Grey lay strapped to a bed in a windowless hospital room. The orderlies visited every few hours to inject her with painkillers and change her bandages. Twice daily they loosened her restraints and walked her around the room to exercise her legs, but she was never allowed to unwrap the bandages. Even if she could remove the wrappings, there was no mirror to see her reflection.
Finally, after what felt like a year but was really only a month, an orderly came to Grey's room and announced, "It's time." He unfastened Grey's restraints and helped her sit upright. The second orderly produced a pair of scissors and proceeded to remove Jennifer's bandages.
Grey's mind raced as she imagined all the possible mutilations these psychopaths might have visited on her innocent face.
When the bandages lay in a heap on the floor, the orderly called into the hallway. "We're ready!"
Jennifer stared at the door, her stomach knotted in anticipation of who might pass through. After a moment the door opened and in walked a familiar figure.
Jennifer's jaw dropped. "What are you doing here?" she said.
Barbra Streisand stood at the foot of her bed, her hands clasped behind her back. Streisand's mouth twisted into a wry grin.
"Did you," Jennifer hesitated. Her brow wrinkled. "Did you do this to me?"
"Yes," said Streisand. She wore a black velvet gown that made it seem as if she were coming from, or going to an awards ceremony.
Barbra produced a rounded mirror from behind her back. "For this." She thrust the mirror in front of Grey's face.
Jennifer looked at her reflection and gasped. "Dear god! What have you done to me!"
"I took some of the fuel out of that rocketship."
"No," said Jennifer pushing the mirror away. "No!" She began sobbing. Tears beaded in the corners of her eyes. They streamed down her cheeks, running along the sidewalls of her nose—her perfectly sculpted nose. It was a nose that could have been on the face of a model in Vogue magazine. A nose that any plastic surgeon would have been proud to display in their portfolio.
Streisand carried on as Grey cried. "You see a cosmetic flaw is a reminder that sometimes even god has his off days. It's a defect—something no one wants to have and no one else wants to look at. But sometimes a flaw becomes endeared in the public's mind. It slowly transforms from defect to defining characteristic. Do you see this?" She gestured proudly to her bulbous nose, like a jeweler might present an elegant diamond necklace to a prospective client. "This is my identity, and I'll be damned if I'm going to let some little brat come along and steal it from me." Streisand cocked her head. "The Prince of Tides?"
Grey stopped sobbing and looked at Streisand with wounded eyes.
"I was born to play the part of Doctor Lowenstein, but Redford said that the role called for a fresh face. Someone with character. If I hadn't used my connections to take the project from him, I would have missed out on the movie of a lifetime." She smiled. "I couldn't have that."
"You're a monster!" shouted Grey.
Streisand cackled. "Maybe I am. But with your nose out of the picture, Hollywood is mine." She said as she smashed the mirror over the bedpost emphatically.
Jennifer ducked with a shriek as shards of glass flew past her head.
"Dump her near the airport," said Streisand, caressing her nose.
One of the orderlies nodded. He pulled a black velvet hood from his back pocket and looped it over Grey's head. Jennifer writhed and kicked.
"You can't get away with this!" Her words were muffled by the bag. "I'll tell the police!"
Streisand laughed defiantly. "Go ahead. Do you think anyone will believe you?"
Jennifer felt a sting as the second orderly injected her with a sedative. Her thrashing grew weaker and weaker until she lost consciousness.
Jennifer awoke on a bench outside the Perth International Airport. Her hospital gown had been replaced with the clothes she had worn on her date with Matt Modine a month earlier. In her pocket was a first class airline ticket to Los Angeles aboard Qantas Airways.
When she returned to the United States Grey attempted to press charges against Streisand, but not a single person, not even her family, believed her story. Her psychiatrist attempted to explain it as a delusion created by her subconscious in order to cope with the regret of having altered her trademark nose. "It's only natural that you would project the blame onto someone whom you identify with both physically and professionally," he had told her.
Eventually Jennifer returned to acting, but she was no longer able to command the starring roles she had before the rhinoplasty. At many auditions she even had to remind the casting director who she was—her face no longer so easily recognizable.
In 1995, Jennifer auditioned for a bit part in the movie To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar. It was only a bit-part, but Jennifer had grown desperate.
Several weeks had passed without a word, and Grey grew nervous. She called her agent to see how casting was proceeding.
"I'm sorry, Jennifer, but they decided to go with someone else," said her agent gently.
Jennifer sat in a recliner with the phone pressed to her ear, a tumbler of whiskey and a lit cigarette in the other hand. Even though it was two in the afternoon, she was still in her bathrobe.
"They did?" Grey's voice trembled.
"Yes. Kidron thought the role needed someone with more," he paused, "more character."
"More character?" A lump formed in Jennifer's throat. There was a moment of dead air on the phone. "Who did they give the part to?"
He was quiet.
"Who was it, Charles!"
He let out a deep exhale. "Barbra Streisand."
"I see," said Grey. She pulled the phone away from her ear and stared into the distance. Her agent continued talking, but Grey could no longer hear him. The receiver fell from her hand and clattered against the floor.
Grey slowly rose from her chair. Her breathing grew loud and unsteady. "No." Jennifer grimaced. She hurled the glass of whiskey, smashing it against the wall. "No!" she screamed. Grey collapsed in her chair and began sobbing hysterically. Rivulets of tears streamed down the channels that outlined her nose—her expertly-carved, anatomically perfect nose.

About the Creator
I think I have loved photography all my life, without realizing it. When my husband thrust a book about Digital Photography under my nose, 5 years ago, I was hooked. As a former couch potato, my camera has taken me places, I would not have bothered about before. Short excursions from home and the occasional trip overseas. Photography for me is like going out there and getting presents for free. And then when you get home and download all the images, you get to open the presents and having a look inside! And when you work on each image in Photoshop, you not only get to savour each precious moment again, but every now and then you will get to see something (someone's expression or something outside your original line of sight) that you had missed in real time. Being able to publish my images on Blurb has been a great way of displaying and sharing photos that would otherwise be sitting on my hard drive never seeing the light of day.

I am going to Disney World in 5 days! It's the first vacation I have ever paid for by myself, I split a package with my boyfriend, his younger sister, and her boyfriend. We have planned a few fastpasses and booked some hard to get into restauraunts like Be Our Guest, but we only have 6 full days in the parks! What are the best things to do since obviously we have no time to do everything! How can I make the most of it? I have been to Disney Land twice (once at 13 once at 18) so I sort of know how things work but Disney World seems gigantic it's a bit daunting!
Most Helpful Guy
Research what they have there and what would seem most important to you. They have a million different things to do. Then look at a map of where those things are located so you can reduce a bunch of time spent going back and forth between things you want to do and just go in a straight line through what you want. Amusement park rides, theatrical performance shows, about a billion and a half shops to buy things in (be careful with those you'll destroy your wallet buying things from all the shops they have) Disney castle museums and just a plethora of things. I've only been twice and that was when I was 3 and 5 but I remember some stuff. Try to make a general guide for yourselves so you can get your must do's done with plenty of time to just wander around lost (which just wandering around lost in disney world can be a fun adventure itself).11|00|0

Create better things.
I'm in love with the pretty dogeared jewellery. Especially the deeper meaning behind the necklaces and bracelets are beautiful. Their jewellery would be such a nice gift to a good friend or a loved one, I LOVE it.
I'm thinking about asking the Infinite love-bracelet (the first one) for my birthday, as a reminder that I should always keep in mind that love is the most important thing in life. Make sure you spend time with your family and friends and always go after the things you love.

I'm sorry for not updating, but the last couple of days I've been ill. Along with many others I've been hit by the flu. Anyway, last Friday I had my annual school prom! Unfortunately my french Connection dress didn't arrive on time (and it still haven't) so I wore my beautiful dress I bought 3 years ago.
My mum did my hair and I think it looked really pretty.

Friday I rehearsed some songs with a friend while wearing my super comfy H&M harempants. They seem to be a real happening at my school. I heard everyone whispering: "look at those trousers!" and "She's still wearing her PJ's, look!"
Ah well. I think they're super awesome :D

One is good.
I'm sorry to bore you guys with all these buys the last weeks, but my outfits are not that special because the weather has been awful. Snow & ice, all week long. Today it was finally raining, so I hope most snow is gone by now.
I promise to post more outfit pics next week, so don't unfollow please xD
Anyway, today I bought this Max Factor foundation at Etos, and it's pretty nice. I'm super pale so I was really glad they had my colour :)
I got that Vibrant Curve Effect lipgloss for free, and although it's not my favourite colour, it's a really nice lipgloss. Not sticky at all (oh man, I hate sticky lipglosses. Never wear them. NEVER.) so that's great.
Oh and next week I will also do that review video about all that beauty stuff I bought the last couple of months.
Next week everything will be better, readers! See you then.

I know it's not your fault.
I'm a big fan of coloured vests. When you wear one with a black blazer and high waisted skirt it's a real eyecatcher.
These from Topshop are really pretty.

Size of subscription form too bigAsked by Rymers on September 21, 2015 at 11:03 AM
Hello, I have a monthly newsletter subscription form running on both my Tumblr blog and my Wordpress blog.. on Tumbler it looks just fine size wise.. but on WORDPRESS it is HUGE and looks too big. How do I correct this ? Thanks
Here is the comparison
JotForm Support
I have inspected your form on WordPress site and form is located inside of

 element. But width of JotForm iFrame occupies 100% of that element and because of that form is expanded to size of that element.
You can try to change the width of element inside of which Jotform form is embedded of you can try to embed your form with iFrame code to see if that will resolve your issue.
Hope this will help. Let us know if you need further assistance.
Hi, thank you so much, I do not see where to put code into my pages to make the IFRAME work actually. sorry! I have been pouring over the page and can not find where to embed the IFRAME code.
JotForm Support
You can add the iFrame code in the page where you want the form to be displayed. You can check this article for more information: How to Embed Form to Wordpress.com.
Do let us know if you need further assistance.
hi ! When I follow the directions to your link above it works fine if I am just embedding the form normal using the URL HTTP line at the top provided and placing it in .. but if I grab the IFRAME code.. and I just place that in.. it does not work. the page views showing all the code and no form. Sorry!
The reason I am trying to get the form in with IFRAME is that when I put the form in like normal it LOOKS HUGE and not proportional .. it was suggested I try to use IFRAME to get it down to normal size in wordpress. you can see link here to see how it is too big
JotForm Support
Can you try to embed the form using the iFrame code only and see if it will work? Remove the If the iFrame code still does not work, if possible, can you remain the iFrame code in your page so we can also check the page if not please provide us a screenshot of the display of the form when you add the iFrame code so we can further check the issue.We will wait for your response.
Hello here are my screen captures
JotForm Support
As I mentioned on previous post the reason why your form is zoomed is because the WordPress element that holds the form has 470 px of width, so form has less space and applies mobile layout.
While the one on the other site has 520 px in width, so it looks a bit more distanced.
The WordPress element holding the form should be larger. I think that
 element is holding the form.
Considering that this is not JotForm functionality, it is WordPress we can not fix it for you. If you do not know how to fix it I would suggest you to hire someone to fix it for you.
Feel free to contact us if you have any other questions.
Ok, Thank you so much! :)

Cyber Security Report
Kevin Engudomnukul
As the term suggests, Cyber Security is a profession focused on the protection of computers, networks, programs, and data from outsiders or intruders that wish to steal, change or destroy it. This also includes protection against things like Cyber Terrorism, Cyber Warfare, and Cyber Espionage. Individuals in this profession are frequently sought out after by the United States government so as to prevent intruders from hacking into the government's data and information. In fact, the United States has actually spent over $13 billion for the Cyber Security protection they use or employ.
A Cyber Security professional must be able to work with others in their workspace while being able to respond to critical or different situations effectively and appropriately. As an example, a professional must be able to calmly handle a situation like a virus attack and effectively eliminate the attack. While professionals must be calm, they also must be quick to solve a problem or prevent a problem from increasing, and if possible eliminate it. Not only this, but professionals must be able to multitask or perform many different activities in the workplace, thus requiring that a professional have a range of technical skills. For professionals to detect who is causing the problems presented to them, a professional needs to have good problem-solving skills akin to a detective. Finally, professionals need to be adaptable to most if not all situations, because their work hours and their responsibilities can vary or change at any point.
Each of these traits is important to a Cyber Security professional because the job requires a person to be vigilant in their work while being able to monitor and counter any problem flung at the Cyber Security professional. Cyber Security professionals put emphasis on team work because more often than not they will have to collaborate with others in their profession to combat cyber threats, something one person cannot handle alone. Because cyber threats can come in many different ways, a professional must have the ability to adapt to any situation while remaining calm. And because cyber threats don't come in a set time, professionals must have the stamina or resolve to remain at work overtime to prevent the threat from causing any disastrous damage. I do not feel that I am suited for a job in this field because I am not too social with strangers, and it takes me a great deal of time to open up even slightly to other people. I also prefer to work alone, which is quite the opposite of what is expected from a Cyber Security professional. Also, I am not one who is able to adapt to any situation quickly. It takes time for me to shift my focus from one task to another. Cyber Security professionals should be able to adapt to any situation within a small amount of time so that they can react to a situation and minimize the amount of damage a virus or a hacker can cause to a system or computer.

Kindly provide a short clinical synopsis of 100-200 words from which a quiz can be formulated. This intensely itchy lesion appeared on a 65 year old patient's toe, six days after spending a week on the golden beaches of neighbouring Mozambique. What may be the cause? Unlikely causes: •Ingrowing toe nail (septic paronychium)? Big toe usually affected. •Acute gout ? Not likely at age 65 for a first attack, and also more likely to affect the big toe. •Trauma ? The patient would most likely be aware of some incident. •Larva migrans (creeping eruption)? More likely, but wrong again. Because dogs are not forbidden from beaches, canine hookworm larvae from dog excreta are often found in the sand. As the name creeping eruption implies, one would expect an inflamed red track of the larva, instead of a single round lesion as seen here. (See picture) With more South Africans visiting tropical destinations, other possibilities will have to be considered as well.

Suppose we have to perform addition of the given numbers but there can be any number of arguments, if you write the method such as a(int,int) for two parameters, and b(int,int,int) for three parameters then it may be difficult for you as well as other programmers to understand the behavior of the method because its name differs. So, we perform method overloading to fix this issue:
There are two ways to overload the method in java
1. Method Overloading by changing the no. of arguments:
we have created two overloaded methods, first sum method performs addition of two numbers and second sum method performs addition of three numbers.
class Calculation{
void sum(int a,int b){System.out.println(a+b);}
void sum(int a,int b,int c){System.out.println(a+b+c);}
public static void main(String args[]){
Calculation obj=new Calculation();
Output : 30
2.Method Overloading by changing data type of argument
we have created two overloaded methods that differs in data type. The first sum method receives two integer arguments and second sum method receives two double arguments

LAFAYETTE — To further combat drunken driving in Lafayette, the Lafayette Police Department on Wednesday unveiled its newest tool: the breath alcohol testing bus.
The so-called BAT bus sports the Police Department's black and white colors, and is equipped with two breath-testing stations, interior and exterior video cameras, computers to trace suspects' arrest records and facilities to collect and store blood evidence, officials said.
The $350,000 bus was purchased with a grant provided by the Louisiana Highway Safety Commission, and is one of at least four in use in departments across the state, said Lt. Col. John LeBlanc, LHSC executive director.
"This breath alcohol testing unit is going to greatly reduce the time it takes to process a DWI," LeBlanc said during a news conference Wednesday. "It's also going to lend itself to more accuracy in reports, which translates to more conviction rates."
The unit can process up to 12 breath tests per hour, Lafayette Police Chief Jim Craft said.
The bus will be used by the department's Alcohol Traffic Action Campaign unit, which arrested 837 suspected impaired drivers in 2010 and is well on its way to arresting more than 1,000 people this year, Craft said.
To aid officers on scene, the bus' exterior cameras can swivel 360 degrees and is equipped with flood lights to ensure that officers are working in a well-lit area, Craft said.
The unit will be used during sobriety checkpoints or in areas with high traffic crash rates, Craft said.
When the unit is in use, officers will not have to return to headquarters to conduct sobriety tests.
He said the unit also allows officers to conduct field sobriety tests, including "walking the yellow line," can be done inside the bus.
"All of those things can be done right there, on scene, which will help us in processing impaired drivers," Craft said.
The unit is assigned to the Lafayette Police Department, but it will be used on a regional level by neighboring police departments and sheriff's offices, Craft said.
"Impaired drivers don't observe boundaries," Craft said. "They don't stop at the city limits. They don't stop at the parish lines. They're all over the place at any given time."
City-Parish President Joey Durel said it is hard to prevent things as serious as murders, which tend to happen at the spur of the moment.
"This is one of those places where we can have an effect on it. We can be proactive and make a difference and save lives," Durel said.

Mrs W and I have long since learned that a Friday night at the flix means multiplex avoidance.
And so it was tonight, when we hit screen 2 of the fab Broadway cinema in Nottingham to see the wonderfully versatile Kristin Scott Thomas in stirring form.
Scott Thomas, just at home speaking French as English, plays an American journalist who lives with hubby and daughter in Paris.
She is researching possibly the most shameful episode in French history - the capture of thousands of Jews in the second world war in preparation for deportation to extermination camps.
Ring a bell? Yes, only a month or so ago, I reviewed The Round Up which addressed exactly the same subject.
Here, director Gilles Pacquet-Brenner combines the modern-day story of the journalist which dovetails with flashbacks to the story of a girl who was taken from her home with her family in 1942.
Sarah, the youngster in question, had locked her younger brother in a closet in their home, promising him that she would come back to save him.
Obviously, she had no idea what was in store for her and her parents.
Scott Thomas's character Julia comes across the Sarah story during her research. She becomes so involved in it that it has far-reaching consequences for her own family.
Pacquet-Brenner's sequences around the imprisoning of the Jews in the Paris velodrome and, in particular, the later, very distressing split of parents and their young, are more graphic than in The Round Up.
They are also much briefer, however.
Instead he hones in on the desperation, both of Sarah, splendidly portrayed by young Melusine Mayance and Julia, for completely different reasons.
And it is warming to see that the doggedness of the journalist ties up loose ends although Pacquet-Brenner sensibly avoids a Hollywood finale.
So our Friday night expedition, the busy Broadway audience didn't make a peep throughout and Sarah's Key wins an 8/10 rating.

"A long wait"
About: Trafford General Hospital Trafford General Hospital M41 5SL
Posted by Anonymous
I had an appointment for 11 am on 27th March at orthapedics and trauma.
On arrival at 10:55 the waiting time , which is written on a board showed that there was a forty minute delay.
Oh well o least I know I thought
70 minutes later nothing !
I asked the nurse on duty where I was in the queue and after a long search through paper work they informed me I was 5th in line to see the doctor or in terms of time another 40 minutest wasn't convinced my papers were there to be honest .
Being the polite person I am I didn't complain but told the receptionist I could wait any longer as I had another appointment else where.
The notice board should portray a honest account of what the situation is at the time.
Decided to go private (through work) ,
Prior to this I had an x ray, which I heard one staff say to another
" are you sure you have the right patient "
Response from Amy McCawley, Patient Experience Team, Central Manchester University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust 15 months ago
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to learn that your experience of Trafford Orthopaedic Outpatients was not as positive as we would hope. It is important to us that comments are heard and seen as an opportunity provided to the service to make changes and improvements wherever possible.
The Outpatient Manager has apologised that you experienced such a long wait on the day of your attendance in the Trauma and Orthopaedic Clinic. The 27th March 2016 fell during a bank holiday weekend, when the clinic was not open. We have therefore checked clinic attendances for the period before and after the Easter Bank Holidays and there is nothing to indicate that waiting times had to be extended, so it has unfortunately not been possible to identify the specific reason for the delay you experienced. The Outpatient Manager has explained that clinics are often overbooked to facilitate the patient lists for specific doctors, but again this does not appear to be the case for the period up to and following Easter.
The waiting times should be updated regularly on the notice boards in the outpatient clinics and the Outpatient Manager offers her apologies that this was not the case on the day of your attendance. This has been discussed with staff in the clinic to remind them of the importance of keeping the board up to date and keeping patients updated verbally when waits become very lengthy.
We are also very sorry that you were made to feel anxious by the comments made by a member of hospital staff whilst attending for an x-ray, as this is not the standard of care we would expect. It is difficult to respond to all the posts in a full way, therefore if you would like to discuss your concerns with us in more detail, please feel free to contact our Patient Advice and Liaison Service on 0161 276 8686 or by e-mailing email@example.com

Testing Times
Exam stress doesn't occur most strongly during the actual exams but in the few weeks just before them. The climax is usually the night before when last minute preparations confirm your worst fears (страх), There are, however, some simple ways of dealing with the problem.
First, one must know that the night before is too late to do anything. Much better to go to a dance, for a walk, to the pictures or to play a game rather than increase stress by frantic efforts to plug in gaps (затыкать пробелы) in your knowledge.
The brain is a complex bio-electrical machine which, like a computer, can be overloaded. It does not work continuously. When you study, your brain reaches its maximum efficiency about five minutes you start work, stays at it for about ten minutes and then it is down. Indeed, after thirty minutes your attention wonders (отвлекаться), your memory shuts off, and boredom (скука) sets in.
For this reason, the best way to study is in half-hour sessions with gaps in between of about the same length. It even helps to change subjects and not keep at the same one since it reduces the boredom fector.,
Study stress was experienced by Isaac Newton, the greatest mathematical genius, and by Einstein. Newton had a depression after his efforts on gravity.
Einstein had no such difficulty: he wouldAreak off and go sailing ^ play violin —* not very well, he said, but it was very comforting.

Rattigan mob may have set missing Philip up
GARDAI fear a man missing since earlier this month may have been murdered by two of his former associates who have recently been released from prison.
Philip Finnegan (24), from Mary Aikenhead House, Dublin 8, has not been seen since Wednesday, August 10, when he was spotted in Kildare with a pal.
It is believed his life was in danger after he refused to pay money to associates of jailed mob boss Brian Rattigan.
It is suspected Rattigan personally called Philip from a phone smuggled into Portlaoise Prison in the days before his disappearance.
VANISHED: Philip Finnegan
Gardaí have received information that people Philip was close to may have set him up to be murdered.
Two men recently released from prison who had been associates of Philip are suspected of abducting him on the day he disappeared.
Gardaí have received information that he may have been murdered and his body dumped in a wooded area in Leixlip, Co. Kildare.
Investigators are keeping an open mind on the disappearance, but the main line of inquiry is that he was killed.
It is understood gardaí from Leixlip are now involved in the investigation.
"Intelligence has been received that members of the Rattigan gang demanded he pay money they said he owed them, but he refused to pay. There are indications that people he knew set him up to be killed," said a source.
There were reports that he and another man were attacked in Dublin shortly before he disappeared.
He previously escaped death when a gunman opened fire on Philip and Owen Gaffney in a drive-by shooting on Dublin's Lower Basin Street in July 2013.
Owen Gaffney
Five shots were fired, but neither man was injured. They refused to co-operate with Gardaí, as did several witnesses.
In December that year Philip was caught up in a bloody brawl when two rival groups met by accident in McDonald's on Grafton Street. Later that day a hatchet was thrown through the front window of his home at Mary Aikenhead House, but no complaint was made.
Last year he was acquitted of firearms possession after a semi-automatic handgun capable of firing blanks was found during a raid on his home.
He initially told gardaí the gun belonged to his brothers, but later told them to charge him.
He pleaded guilty and the charges were dropped when Judge Mary Ellen Ring ruled that Garda references to arresting his brother undermined the voluntary nature of his statement.
Philip is described as approximately 5'4" in height, with dark brown hair and blue eyes.
When last seen he was wearing a light grey Fila top with a full-length zip to the front, dark grey Adidas tracksuit bottoms with three white stripes down the legs and royal blue Adidas runners.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Kilmainham Garda Station on 01-666 9700, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111 or any Garda station.

Research Interests and Accomplishments
Dr. Bretschger received her B.S. in Physics and Astronomy at the University of Northern Arizona, and after a five year career in aerospace and consulting, she completed a Ph.D. in Materials Science at the University of Southern California. Dr. Bretschger joined the J. Craig Venter Institute in 2008 and over the course of her research tenure, she has established a productive team of researchers dedicated to understanding the fundamental mechanisms associated with extracellular electron transfer (a process that enables microbes to respire solid surfaces, i.e., "breathe rocks") and applying that understanding to technology development for bioremediation, bioenergy, and water recycling.
Her research group has secured nearly $12M of external funding from diverse resources including NASA, The State of California, The San Diego Foundation - Blasker Science and Technology Award, the National Science Foundation, the Office of Naval Research, SPAWAR, Synthetic Genomics Inc. and the Roddenberry Foundation. Her publications have drawn over 800 citations and most recently includes an article in Nature Communications, which describes a novel metatranscriptomic method for understanding metabolic relationships in highly diverse (over 400 species) microbial communities and new findings related to how microbes share electrons. The approach developed by her team can now be applied to many different environmental samples and begin to unravel the complex interactions that exist in our sediments, soils, oceans and fresh water resources. These studies will shed new light on how our changing environment will impact ecosystem function.
Her applied projects include the development and integration of microbial fuel cell systems that can remove contaminants from wastewater and transforms the waste into direct electrical energy. Her most recent awards include a $5M grant from the Roddenberry Foundation to demonstrate her microbial fuel cell technology as a sustainable sanitation approach to address the sanitation and related public health impacts in developing countries. Further, a recent award from SPAWAR Pacific is testing her technology at an S.E.R.E training base outside of San Diego and demonstrate its effectiveness for providing cost-effective water recycling and wastewater treatment to our military forward operating bases.
Dr. Bretschger has developed methods for how to apply her technology for the removal of medications and other toxic personal care products from wastewater; and is developing new methods for addressing the removal of nitrogen and phosphorous from agricultural waste streams (two big factors in creating 'dead zones' in our coastal waters).
Additionally, Dr. Bretschger's work with NASA Ames researchers has begun to reveal how microbes can use electricity and carbon dioxide to create useful products like fuels (methane) and other useful products (e.g. nutritional supplements and bioplastics).
She directs a lab of thirteen researchers and interns (high school through master's level students) and conducts collaborative work throughout San Diego and across the international border. Her installations can be seen at the San Pasqual High School Agricultural center and EcoParque in Tijuana. Dr. Bretschger's Roddenberry funded efforts will lead to the installation of improved sanitation systems at schools in Mexico over the next two years, and she hopes to expand these efforts globally to begin addressing the critical sanitation needs for nearly 2.4 billion people world-wide.

What's in a Name…
Currently, one of my most favorite shows on television is "Justified", which airs on FX, though I'm not sure of the day because I usually watch it using 'On Demand'. It's an incredibly well-written show and is vastly different from everything else on television that I've found. The show stars Timothy Olyphant in the main-character role as Marshall Raylan Givens and Walton Goggins as his foil, mild-mannered convicted felon, Boyd Crowder, and I honestly can't decide which one I find sexier.
The reason I'm talking about this is because the show is based on characters from a couple books and a short story written by Elmore Leonard. Desperate for more Justified drama following the recent scintillating season finale, I had searched everything I could find connected to the show and that included an interview with Leonard in which he discussed how he came about naming his character "Raylan", and naming characters in general.
I have a love-hate relationship with naming characters. For me it can be the most difficult part of the entire character development process but, at the same time, it can also be the most fun.
Now, some people might be wondering: what's so difficult about giving a character a name?
Think about it.
Your character's name is typically going to be the first thing your reader will know about your character, for your reader it will be the most intimate part of her relationship with your character because it will be the reader's only identifier of the character, and because of this, the name will play a huge role in how your reader will view that character throughout the entire story.
This is reasonable when you consider that even in everyday life we formulate impressions of people based on their names. For instance, would you take a doctor more seriously if his name was Scooter? Or William? Would you be more inclined to think a woman a sultry vixen if her name was Delores? Or Cassandra?
Let's face it. Names are powerful things. Parents-to-be generally put a lot of thought and research into what name they're going to give their child and the name they choose for their child is usually a reflection of the person they want their child to become. How is an author birthing a character any different?
Well, for starters, having a name like 'Scooter' might not hold back a bouncing baby boy from becoming a world-renowned neural surgeon but it could possibly keep your audience from connecting with your character, which could potentially severely hurt your story.
Methods for naming characters vary from writer to writer, even, and from character to character.
Sometimes you get lucky. You stumble across a name that just begs to be a character. This is what happened with Leonard, who just happened to meet a gentleman named Raylan, and just like that, the modern-day cowboy Marshall Givens with his own brand of justice was born.
If you're anything like me, however, most of the time you linger in character name purgatory, sifting through 'baby-name' websites for inspiration.
Regardless of methodology, there are a few things I like to bear in mind when name-hunting.
* How do you want your readers to view your character * – Considering this has been what the majority of my post has been talking about thus far, the impression our names give other people, it's no wonder I'm listing this as the first, if not most important, thing to always bear in mind when character naming. Remember though, the name doesn't have to be a stereotype and it doesn't have to fit the character's personality to a 'T'. What I mean when I say "how do you want your readers to view your characters" is exactly that, how do you want your characters viewed?
Take for example, Indiana Jones. The name conjures up someone dashing, adventurous, someone a bit flashy, and that's exactly how we – the audience – are expected to view him. Right away, we find him interesting, because he has an interesting name. But is that exactly who Indiana Jones proves to be? Yes. And no. I don't care who you are, you have to admit Harrison Ford is dashing. Adventurous? He's an archeologist that regularly treasure hunts, gunfights, and he's got a little bit of a whip fetish. Yup, definitely adventurous. He fits our expectations, but not exactly. He's also a professor who wears reading glasses and tweed suits with little bow ties. And oh yeah, he's deathly afraid of snakes.
Now, think about this: would we have found Indiana Jones as interesting if his name were, say, Norman Jones. He certainly sounds like a professor now but Norman Jones and the Temple of Doom. Doesn't have quite the same ring to it…
Looking at the flipside of interesting, let's look at another example: Harry Potter. (Yes, I've used Harry Potter before…not because I'm a huge fan of the series – I never finished the last book, I admit as I hang my head in bookworm shame – but because it's well known) Nothing interesting about that name. No sir. It's actually quite…average. Which is exactly the picture Rowling's wants her audience to conjure up. Harry is an average boy, he's got messy brown hair, is a bit on the scrawny side (his fat relatives apparently don't feed him and I guess there's no such thing as Child Protective Services in the UK), wears black-rimmed glasses and isn't extraordinarily intelligent or athletic. Aside from being a prophesized savior in an underground wizarding world, Harry is about as interesting as a packaging peanut. Maybe even less so because packaging peanuts make fun crinkling noises when you squish them. J
Now, if Rowling had given her character the name Flash Potter (Yes, Flash…you see, because of the lightening shaped scar on his head, ha..ha…), it would have completely skewed the image she was trying to create for us. Right away, we would find it hard to believe that this boy were average, not with a name like Flash.
As you can see by these examples, name choice can play heavily in character development. Not only by giving the reader that first impression but by creating a springboard from which to more fully flesh the character out, proving some first impressions wrong but reinforcing others.
* What is the character's cultural/ethnic background * – As an anthropology major, I tend to think about characters and even story development in terms of culture and ethnicity but it also helps when taking into consideration a character name. This doesn't mean you should choose a name based on his ethnicity but remember that we are reflections of our upbringings.
Socialization is the term used to describe the process by which a child comes to understand the cultural norms of her society; likewise your characters should be socialized within the context of their story. Readers will expect a character to behave appropriately to her society's social norms, at least, to some extent (rebellious character types may purposely break from social norms to be rebellious…which is only further proof of the importance of considering culture when creating a character). Her name can be an extension of that cultural identity. Furthermore, certain names and even different spellings of names are more prevalent in particular parts of the world. For example, in America we're more likely to spell the name 'Jeffery', but in the United Kingdom, you're more likely to see the name 'Geoffrey'.
The names of your characters will help to build the scenery, lending to the atmosphere of the environment. The television show Justified takes place in Harlan County, Kentucky. Along with Marshall Raylan Givens, and his counterpart Boyd Crowder, other characters in the show include Raylan's father Arlo Givens, Boyd's lovely wife, Ava, the Bennett clan headed by Mags, her son Dickie, and his friend Dewey Crowe, and then there's seedy criminal mastermind/pig farmer, Ellstin Limehouse. Though these names are not necessarily unheard of in other locales, they have a decidedly southern twang to them, and help to build upon the imagery and atmosphere of the world around them.
Sometimes when creating characters, writers will aim for ethnic neutrality in order to attract a more diverse audience but I kind of think this is folly. I think readers will connect better with characters who have an established cultural or ethic connection, regardless of whether they share that culture or ethnicity, simply because we all possess that connection and can understand it. We can't ever forget, in our efforts to create a character readers will like and relate to, that readers like and relate best with people. Give your characters a cultural identity, and don't be afraid to let that identity be reflected in their name.
* What is the time period this character lives in * My mother's name is Velma which was a fairly popular name in the 1960's, when she was born. Nowadays, you would be hard-pressed to find a baby christened 'Velma'. Names, like fashion, music, and everything else in our pop culture world, go through phases. There's a reason names like Ethel, Marge, Frank, and Jasper remind us of grandmothers and grandfathers, because, along with flappers, moonshine, and zoot-suits, those names were in and have since gone out of style, though eventually they may come back.
When searching for a name for your character, the time period is an important thing to consider. This doesn't mean that you have to give your character the most popular baby name of that era. But bear in mind, certain names that you'll find in our modern society may have been completely unheard of, say, one or two hundred years ago. If your story centers on a young Confederate soldier during the United States Civil War, you probably aren't going to name him Justin. On the flip side, names that were frequent in ancient times may seem strange or outdated in a modern world. While you can certainly name your lead female character of your modern day mystery novel Hippolyta, be prepared for other characters to comment on the oddity of such a moniker.
Also, and much like the previously mentioned point about culture/ethnicity, character names can help set the tone and date of your story. Remember my question at the start, "who sounds more like a sultry vixen, Delores or Cassandra?" Well, in the 1940s-50s, Delores might have been considered the name of one hot mama, so if you're staging your story in that time period and need a name for a sultry vixen character type, you might want to consider Delores.
* What sounds good * Remember good ole Norman Jones? Aside from sounding like a stuffy professor in a sweater vest, his name doesn't exactly roll of the tongue quite like Indiana Jones. This may seem like a no-brainer, but I've come across a lot of beginning writers that never seemed to take this simple concept into consideration. Names that were too much of a mouthful, were far beyond abnormal, too much effort put into making them unique that they didn't fit the story or the character, or they just simply did not sound good. If a character's name is long, strange, or doesn't have an appealing phonetic arrangement, the reader will have difficulty remembering it.
Yes, remembering it. Recall that I said the characters name is the identifier of that character? Well, if your reader has trouble remembering that name, then they'll have trouble identifying the character in the story, if they have trouble identifying the character then they'll have trouble relating to the character. If they have trouble relating to your character then they aren't going to care about your character. If they don't care about your character then they aren't going to care about what happens to your character. What happens to your character is your story so if the reader doesn't care what happens to your character then that means they don't care about your story. Readers don't read stories that they don't care about.
Starting to grasp the importance of naming a character? Or are you just staring blankly at the screen wondering about my sanity? Yeah…I am slightly paranoid, but that doesn't demean my point!
Anyhow, when I name a character, I like to say the name aloud. The entire name. Get a taste for it on my tongue. If it doesn't sound right, I scrap it and start the search over again.
Like I said before, naming a character can be the most difficult part of the entire character development process but, like every process in story writing that can be equally if not more so difficult, it can also be really fun. And the end result can be incredibly rewarding, especially if you happen to create a character that becomes as wildly popular as Raylan Givens.
One last thing, if, like Elmore Leonard, you have the great fortune to come across a really cool name, take note of it whether you yet have a character in mind to fit it and/or a story to surround that character or not because you never know, later down the line you may be staring at the screen searching for a good name and, lo and behold, that cool name you jotted down might just happen to be the name your looking for. Otherwise, think about the things I've said here, and good luck.
Moral of the story: You want your character's name to stand out, but not too much, to say a lot about your character, but not everything, and, of course, to be memorable.

"Top Consultant!"
About: Wythenshawe Hospital Wythenshawe Hospital Manchester M23 9LT
Posted by TASHTASH685
I'm 28 and i went here to have a EP study and a ablation as i had Wolff Parkinson White. (An extra pathway in my heart causing palpitations.) I was absolutely terrified of having the procedure done. The sister nurse on ward F2 is horrible and rude and has no sympathy for you what so ever, but the rest of the staff on that ward were lovely! My Consultant came onto the ward surprised and said "im shocked you turned up, there is still time for you to do a runner" as he knew how worried i was! ha ha. He was so lovely, he really helped me put my mind at ease and took time out to talk me through the whole process and how he was going to do the ablation. I was taken down to the lab crying and scared. The team along side the Consultant inside the lab that treated me that day were also really nice. The nurse sedated me and gave me my anaesthetic and i fell asleep for 2 hours. I woke up feeling my palpitations being triggered by the team, the next thing they had stopped. I didn't feel any pain at all and i felt nice and relaxed. The next thing, the Consultant came towards me and told me it all went really well and they managed to remove my extra pathway. I was so relieved and i noticed the difference to my heart straight away! I was alot more calmer than before and my heart felt different as all my life since my teens i have had a fast heartbeat and never got to the bottom of it. But i am so glad i went and did it. Even though my leg is abit sore at the moment due to them going through my groin. But ill be fine! So a great big big thank you to the Consultant and the team in the lab on 27th March 2014 for helping me.

Reviews of Ocean Eleven
They do not necessarily represent the views of Expert Africa.
Ocean Eleven review
What a lovely spot. You go to Hermanus to see whales and we did, from our room window, within 2 minutes of arrival. If I have any quibble at all, it was that the internet signal was bait varied but believe me, we were very happy and would definitely stay there again.
Breakfasts were excellent. The welcome was great and the rooms are delightful.
Great comfort in a great location
Overlooking the South Atlantic in very comfortable rooms with great service.Read more about the whole trip
Great view from our balcony
Friendly, helpful staff and a great location, was only here for two nights and had no problems in that time. As it is on a raised location we could see whales from the breakfast table and from our upstairs room. Room was a good size, clean and well kept.
The town was an easy walk on a good path along the cliff.
Good stopover for whale watching
Location was excellent for whale watching, we watched them several times from our room. Staff very helpful booking restaurants/with luggage etc.
Rooms getting a little tired but clean. About a 10 minute walk from town, so it can feel a bit lonely walking home at night.
Excellent stay at Ocean Eleven
Marvellous location on cliff top. Restaurants in easy walking distance. Excellent accommodation and service from very friendly & welcoming staff.
An ideal location for whale watching.
Brilliant views - lovely accomodation
We loved Ocean Eleven - it was well placed to walk into the town where there are loads of lovely restaurants and some boutique shops. The area feels very safe so able to walk about at night and the coast walk is lovely.
The room was lovely - very spacious and a separate dressing room and bathroom. The wooden floorboards are quaint but a little squeaky at night. Not really an issue.
I have never seen such an amazing array of fruits for breakfast - truly superb and lots of other foods to choose from. The eggs were a bit of a disappointment - I asked for medium poached eggs [expected the yolks to be creamy] but they were rock hard; the next day I asked for scrambled and they were like an omelette.
Intend to return!
We arrived here very early in the morning and were greeted most warmly, and even though check in was hours ahead, we were offered breakfast and a place to change into our summer clothing.
We had one of the suites (all that was available at the time of booking) and this served us very well. The room was spacious and tastefully decorated, a bit like staying in a White Company catalogue set! At Whale watching time this would be fabulous, to sit on your own balcony with an uninterrupted view of the ocean.
Breakfasts (the only meals served) were stupendous. A wonderful array of everything really. At our first breakfast I was so impressed by the platters containing 12 different types of fresh fruit, but this was supassed on day two by 16 fruits! The public areas are airy and smart.
There is a footpath near the back of Ocean Eleven which provides a comfortable stroll into town and to the harbour in the opposite direction.
We highly recomm
Breakfast feast at Ocean Eleven
Disabled persons review: Good access to all areas.
Large well equipped rooms and a nice touch on arriving back after a night out was the heater turned on and the curtains drawn.
Wonderful breakfast that kept us going all day.
Ocean Eleven review
Once we found the facility it was excellent. Our room was spectacular with a balcony and viewing area that we could actually stay in bed and see the whales. Not sure, but I think we had the best room in the entire facility.
Nice walking area along the beach with well marked paths. Really no reason to go anywhere else except Hermanus is such a charming place one must visit the town restaurants and shops.
Fantastic beach house
Upgraded to a lovely room with terrace overlooking the bay, we were able to watch whales from our chairs.
Lovely staff and super breakfasts even though one night we were the only guests.
