Rockland police officer participates in New York, New Jersey torch run for Special Olympics
Troy Peasley of the Rockland Police Department was one of 51 law enforcement officers from all 50 states and the District of Columbia to participate in the torch run for the Special Olympics in New York City and New Jersey earlier this month.
On Wednesday, June 11, the officers and six Special Olympic athletes met in New York City to kick off the Law Enforcement Torch Run final leg.
The running team started at the Fox & Friends television studio then ran the 'Flame of Hope' for Special Olympics through Times Square, to the Sept. 11th memorial, on to Battery Park and out to the Statue of Liberty.
The next day the group split into six running teams doing three different routes. Peasley's team ran through the streets of Philadelphia to the Liberty Bell, then crossed the Ben Franklin Bridge into Camden, New Jersey.
The next two days the team continued across New Jersey giving eight speeches per day and greeting the 3,500 Special Olympic athletes that were arriving in New Jersey for the 2014 USA Summer Games.
The mission of the Law Enforcement Torch Run is to spread awareness and raise funds for Special Olympics. Police officers are guardians of the flame for Special Olympics. Worldwide the Law Enforcement Torch Run raised $46.3 million in 2013.
On Sunday afternoon, June 15, wearing his Rockland Police Department uniform, Peasley led the 58 members of Team Maine into the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. Later that evening he participated in the lighting of the cauldron ceremony to officially open the 2014 USA Summer Games.
Peasley also visited the The National September 11 Memorial & Museum and found the name of Jennifer Lynn Kane, the daughter of some friends of his who visit Rockland each summer. She worked for Marsh & McLennan on the 100th floor of the north tower. More information is available at jenniferlynnkane.com/.

Eric Spivack at the James Center.
Eric Spivack takes his wood-paneled, teardrop-shaped coffee trailer wherever he thinks lovers of good coffee might congregate. And his Alchemy Coffee is serious about the good part. If Starbucks is your gold standard, don't bother — Spivack is all about dialing in shots of espresso, explaining his newest single-origin roast, and making you feel guilty for wanting to dilute a cup of his perfectly brewed drip with milk or cream. If there's a downside to his espresso machine's extreme mobility, it's that if he does manage to make a convert out of you, you might find yourself chasing his cart across the city and frantically checking his Twitter feed (@AlchemyRVA) for his whereabouts. Lately he's been spending his weekdays at Virginia Commonwealth University and in front of the James Center downtown.

Your comments are somewhat misinformed. The CPU throttles because there's not enough air below as the stands are low to maintain the slim profile. If you need to run it for prolonged periods at full power, you just need to raise its back or use some notebook stand for that purpose (as the article mentions, there's no throttling in that case). The price mentioned is high as the laptops are configured with 256 GB msata SSD and 512 GB regular SSDs for which Dell charges a premium - I'm sure this alone costs several thousand dollars which can be saved if those are added afterwards. Furthermore, the laptop as configured (without the SSDs, but 32 GB of RAM, RGB screen, K5000M and an XM CPU) can be obtained from the Dell Outlet for about 3000 USD.

The "Brownsville Affair" occurs
U.S. Armys 167th Infantry (1906)
*The "Brownsville Affair" of 1906 is remembered on this date. This was a racial incident from tensions between whites in Brownsville, Texas and Black infantrymen in the U.S. Army stationed at nearby Fort Brown.
The soldiers had been subjected to racial discrimination since they arrived. A shooting incident in town on the night of August 13 left a white bartender dead and a police officer wounded. Although white commanders at Fort Brown affirmed that all Black soldiers were in their barracks at the time of the shooting, local whites claimed that Black soldiers had been seen firing. They produced spent shells from army rifles to support their statements.
Despite evidence that indicated the shells had been planted, investigators accepted the statements of the white community. When the Black soldiers were pressured to name who fired the shots, they insisted that they had no knowledge of the shooting. There was no trial, and the men were not given a hearing or the opportunity to confront their accusers, yet President Theodore Roosevelt ordered 167 Black infantrymen discharged without honor because of their alleged conspiracy of silence.
Some of the men dismissed had over twenty years of service and were only a short time away from retirement with pensions. All security and financial compensation for their previous service was taken away from them. Blacks were furious at Roosevelt's action, as was Booker T. Washington. Although he did not criticize the president publicly, he protested in private; still, Roosevelt dismissed his plea to reconsider. Even some whites criticized the President. A United States Senate committee investigated the episode in 1907-08 and upheld Roosevelt's action.
In 1970, John D. Weaver's THE BROWNSVILLE RAID investigated the incident in depth, and the writer concluded that the discharged soldiers had been innocent. Sixty-six years later, the army conducted a new investigation and, in 1972, reversed the order of 1906.

Half affectionate parody and half enthusiastic tribute to the swashbuckling pirate epics of the 1930's and 40's, The Crimson Pirate stars Burt Lancaster as Captain Vallo, the smiling leader of a pack of unscrupulous pirates. While on the high seas, Vallo and his men spy a well-stocked merchant ship, and waste no time in relieving it of its contents. One of the passengers on the cargo vessel, Baron Gruda (Leslie E. Bradley), informs Vallo that a political revolt is shaking a island nation in the Caribbean to its foundations. The pirates set their course to the island, hoping to sell the arms they've just stolen to rebel leader Sebastian (Frederick Leister), while planning to later double their profit by turning him in to the Government leaders who are offering a reward for his capture. Vallo's plans change when he meets Sebastian's daughter Consuelo (Eva Bartok) and falls in love, while she teaches the pirate the wisdom of her father's philosophies. Vallo and his faithful sidekick Ojo (Nick Cravat) soon join Sebastian's men, and fight with them in a valiant struggle for freedom. Burt Lancaster and Nick Cravat were once partners in their early days as circus acrobats, and they got to put their skills to good use in this picture; keep an eye peeled for an early performance by future horror movie great Christopher Lee. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A regular cold water shower can cure many ailments by increasing blood flow and boosting our immune system. A vast number of people prefer cold showers over a luxurious hot bath as it gives relief from stress and depression. Its time to unlock the mysteries behind cold shower benefits.
Improves Blood Circulation- The first benefit of a cold shower is that it improves our blood circulation. It causes blood to rush to the skin and hence triggers blood circulation which is very important for a good cardiovascular health. A shower with cold water stimulates the circulatory system making you look young and fresh.
Relieves Depression And Stress- As proved by the research at the Department of Radiation Oncology at Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine, a cold water shower stimulates the brain's blue spot, which is the prime source of noadrenaline. Noadrenaline is a chemical that helps mitigate depression in humans. So get a cold shower whenever stressed or depressed and get relieved from it without paying for the medicines to cure it.
Boosts Immunity- Researches prove that a regular hydrotherapy with cold water has seen a significant increase in the number of disease fighting White Blood Cells (WBC) in our body. Such water therapy boosts our immune system by increasing the metabolic rate which in turn leads to an increased production of WBC in our body.
Keeps Skin And Hair Healthy- Cold water detoxifies harmful chemicals out of our skin. It is a well known fact that hot water opens up cuticles and pores while cold water does just the opposite. If our cuticles and pores are closed then there is almost no dirt accumulation in them. It thus makes our skin cleaner and pimple free. A cold water hair bath does not only make our hair look more shiny but also prevents hair fall and dandruff as it closes up the cuticles in our scalp.
Improves Fertility- A regular shower with cold water helps in regulating the endocrine system and promotes hormone secretion. A hot water shower increases the temperature of the testes which leads to a decrease in the sperm count. Hence men should never go for hot shower continuously for a few days. It can serve as an effective contraceptive method for them.
A cold water therapy is invigorating and energizing. It refreshes both our body and soul. You should definitely go for exploring the benefits of a cold shower.

Are you more (or less) liberal than President Obama? Take our quiz!
5. In 2010 President Obama compromised with Republican lawmakers to extend the Bush-era tax cuts for high earners. Should people earning more the $200,000 be taxed more?
The wealthy have never paid their fair share in taxes. We should start raising their taxes now, and keep going in the future. There should never be tax cuts for the wealthy again, no matter how well the economy is doing.
What was Obama thinking? We should raise taxes on high earners right now. Our economy is still in crisis, and middle- and low-income families are still struggling. The rich just keep getting richer, and the poor just keep getting poorer.
With tea party Republicans controlling the House right now, a compromise was probably the right decision. Hopefully, Democrats will be able to raise tax rates on the rich in the future.
High earners deserve tax breaks. They worked for their money just as hard as middle-income earners, so why should they pay more in taxes? Plus, they're likely to reinvest that money back into business.
Herman Cain got it right with his 9-9-9-tax plan. Flat tax rates all around.

Aims. To seek high risk population for diabetes and to improve their health care by investigating the characteristics and outcome of hospitalization in hospitals with predominant Arab patients in Northern Israel. Methods. Retrospective analysis of the prevalence of diabetes and the outcome of diabetic in comparison to nondiabetic patients hospitalized in the internal medicine and intensive cardiac units in two major hospitals with one-year postdischarge data between 1.1.2009 and 31.12.2009. Results. Thirty-nine percent of the patients were diagnosed with diabetes. The preponderance of women in the diabetes group was noted. Diabetic patients had an increase in the duration of hospitalization (), with one hospital having a high readmission rate for the diabetic patients. The average glycemia during hospitalization exceeded the recommended threshold of 180 mg% without major changes in the therapeutic regimens in comparison to preadmission regimens. Conclusions. Arab populations, women in particular, in westernizing societies are at high risk for diabetes which exemplifies as high rate of patients with diabetes among hospitalized patients. Areas for intervention during hospitalization and at predischarge have been identified to improve health outcomes and prevent readmissions.
1. Introduction
The prevalence of diabetes is increasing globally, associated with an increase in obesity and in sedentary lifestyle [1–3]. This is associated with morbidity and mortality due to the effects of hyperglycemia related complication and by its association with atherosclerosis-heart disease and stroke, as the leading causes for mortality in diabetics. Hospitalization for acute internal and coronary disorders is therefore high among patients with diabetes; estimates from several studies show that the percentage of patients with diabetes admitted is up to three times the percent of diabetes in the relevant population [4].
The increase in the prevalence diabetes and obesity is, however, not distributed evenly between different racial and ethnic groups, with some groups showing higher susceptibility to environmental changes brought by immigration or rapid socioeconomic changes.
The Arab population in Israel has recently been observed to have an alarming high prevalence of diabetes, reaching 50% in women above 50 years old [5]. This high prevalence seems to be higher than observed in Arab countries or in Arab immigrants to the USA or Western Europe. The unique situation of this population calls for both studies and intervention on a national level to promote health and prevent the consequences of the metabolic perturbation [6].
Considering the high prevalence of diabetes in the Arab population in Israel, we hypothesized that we will find substantial number of patients in the internal and the intensive coronary unit (ICU) wards diagnosed and undiagnosed diabetic patients. Seeking such a high risk population will enable the characterization of demographic, clinical state and diabetes related parameters. This data will serve to form intervention strategy in order to enhance health related outcomes.
2. Material and Methods
2.1. Population
The study was performed at the Internal Medicine wards and ICU of the Holy Family (HFH) Hospital and the Nazareth Hospital in Nazareth. The HFH hospital (established 1882) has 32 beds in the Internal Ward and ICU. The Nazareth Hospital was established by the Edinburgh Medical Mission Society in 1861 in which 40 beds are in the internal ward and the ICU. Both wards have affiliated with the Bar Ilan medical school, Zefat. These two hospitals serve the population of Nazareth and surrounding villages and towns. Estimated population served is 463,000. The majority of the population is urban. The rural population has shifted from mainly an agrarian society toward an urban like society. Both hospitals serve mainly the Arab population in Northern Israel with an estimated population of 253,000.
2.2. Definitions
Diabetes was defined as either known or unknown diabetes.
Known Diabetes: pervious diagnosis and/or treatment with diabetes related medication.
Unknown Diabetes: two measurements of blood glucose > 200 mg% and/or HbA1c > 6.5%.
Dwelling was defined as urban residing in the areas of major cities Nazareth and Acre; rural-residing in the areas of smaller towns and villages.
2.3. Data Retrieved
Data on all patients hospitalized in the Internal Medicine and ICU units in HFH and Nazareth hospitals between 1.1.2009 and 31.12.2009 were reviewed. Charts of all diabetics were probed for data concerning demographics and previous diagnosis, and data pertaining to the hospitalization cause and the outcomes. Population census was searched for one-year after discharge for mortality data. All patients who were hospitalized during the months: January, April, July, and October served as a control group. Data was collected similarly to the diabetes cohort.
2.4. Statistical Methods
All measured variables and derived parameters were tabulated by descriptive statistics. For descriptive statistics summary tables were provided giving sample size, absolute and relative frequency for categorical variables and sample size, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, median, minimum, and maximum for continuous variables.
The following statistical tests were used in the analysis of the data presented in this study. Chi-square test was applied for testing the statistical significance of the differences in frequency of categorical variables between the study groups. The two-sample -test was applied for testing the statistical significance of the differences of continuous variables between the study groups. Analysis of Covariance (ANOVA) was applied for comparing the differences of continuous variables between the outcomes of patients. Logistic Regression was applied using patient's death as outcome and glucose on day 1 as predictor variable. Multiple Regression was applied using days of hospitalization as outcome and glucose on day 1 as predictor variable.
All tests applied were two-tailed, and value of 5% or less was considered statistically significant. The data was analyzed using the SAS version 9.1 (SAS Institute, Cary, NC).
3. Results
Population: there were 1489 diabetic patients admitted during the study year. The number of all patients hospitalized one or more during the study year was 3784. Thus, the proportion of diabetic patients hospitalized for one or more times during the study year was 39%.
Patient demographics show the preponderance of the Arab patients admitted: 92.8% of diabetic and 90.7% in the control group ( = nonsignificant (NS)). The minority were Jews (3.45, 5.1%, resp.) or other ethnic groups ( = NS). There was a significant difference between groups regarding patients domicile. More patients with diabetes reported residence in rural versus urban areas than in the control group (Table 1).
Clinical characteristics at admission differed between patients with diabetes and controls (Table 2). Diabetic patients admitted were significantly older than control years and years, respectively (). Gender was significantly different between the control and the diabetic groups. Of the diabetic patients admitted, 52.9% were women in comparison to 45.0% of the control group ().
Weight did not differ between groups versus (). There were significantly less smokers among the diabetic patients (Table 2).
The indications for hospitalization were different between diabetes and controls and between genders: the main difference was in the higher occurrence of hospitalization due to atherosclerotic related diseases—both cardiovascular disease and strokes in the diabetic group versus controls (37% versus 27%, resp., ) (Figure 1). Significant Differences in the indications for hospitalization were maintained within the gender in each group. While only 18.4% of control women were hospitalized for cardiac indications, 32.9% of diabetic women were hospitalized for cardiac reasons—a similar rate as in the nondiabetic men (34.2%). In comorbidities, we also detected significant difference between groups with a noticeable higher renal disease in the diabetic group (16.6% versus 7.9%) (Table 3).
3.1. Outcome Results
Hospitalization: duration of hospitalization was significantly longer for the diabetic patients than for control patients: days versus days, respectively () (Table 2). No significant differences in discharge status were noted between the two groups with the majority of patients being home discharged and with a low rate of in-hospital death—2.6% control and 2.3% diabetic (Table 4). One-year outcome was poorer in the diabetic group but without reaching statistical significance with a major difference in readmission rates in the diabetic group between the two hospitals. Mortality during the first year following discharge was 11.5% in the control versus 13.2% in the diabetic group (). A high readmission rate for both groups 19.9% and 20.3% control and diabetic group respectively, but there was an inequality between the two hospitals with one hospital demonstrating a significant difference between the two groups in the rate of readmission being significantly higher in the diabetic group during the first year after discharge in comparison to the control readmission rate.
3.2. Intrahospital Glycemic Control
Average daily glucose levels during hospitalization as described in Figure 2 demonstrate a decline in values from day one 211.4 (±118.1) mg/dL to less than 200 mg/dL and thereafter stable levels while glucose levels were stable in the control group (Figure 2). The glucose level at admission was a significant and an independent predictor for longer hospitalization and death in the nondiabetic but not in the diabetic group (data not shown).
3.3. Indication for Hospitalization
As a group, indications for hospitalization differed between patients with diabetes and controls. For both groups, the leading indication for hospitalization was cardiovascular disease, but cardiovascular disease and urinary tract infection were more prevalent as an indication for hospitalization in the diabetic group (36.8% versus 27.1% and 7.7% versus 6.9%, resp.) while chest infections were significantly less prevalent in the diabetic group versus control group (12.5% versus 16.9%, resp.).
3.4. Diabetes Related Treatment Modifications
The glucose lowering treatment for the patients with diabetes, prior to their hospitalization, was diet alone in 13.1%, oral therapy in 60%, insulin in 19%, and combination therapy in 7% of the patients. At discharge, there was no significant shift in the treatment paradigm in the total group (Table 5).
4. Discussion
This study sheds light on the characteristics of hospitalized patients with diabetes in hospitals serving a high risk for diabetes population. We found high percentage of diabetes among the patients hospitalized in the internal medicine wards and cardiac intensive units, reflecting the high prevalence of diabetes in the population. 39.3% of total patient admitted to the internal medical ward and intensive care unit were diabetic. There was a female preponderance among patients admitted with diabetes 52.9% while only 45.0% of patients without diabetes, hospitalized, were women (). All this reflects the alarming prevalence of obesity and diabetes among adult Arab women in northern Israel. It has been recently reported that the prevalence of overweigh and obesity among Arab woman over 40 years of age who attend primary health clinic is 74% [7–9] with diabetes near 50% [5]. This novel observation is seminal by bringing attention to this specific group of women with high morbidity risk and now observing high rate of hospitalization. Interestingly, diabetic women tend to have similar prevalence of coronary heart disease as main indication for admission, as for nondiabetic men (32.9% versus 34.2%, resp.).
As cardiovascular disease and urinary tract infection were more prevalent as an indication for hospitalization in the diabetic group, prevention of cardiovascular disease and urinary tract infection should therefore be reinforced particularly in the group of Arab diabetic women within diabetic population.
Patients with diabetes had a significant greater length of stay than hospitalized patients without diabetes, similar to data described in previous publications [10–12]. The reasons might be multifactorial, and it is important to note that interventions with chronic disease management programs for outpatients [13] and diabetes team consultation during hospitalization [10] have been proved to be an effective means to reduce the likelihood and duration of hospitalizations for individuals with diabetes. Implementing similar strategies in this high risk group and evaluating the impact of this intervention on outcomes of rate and recurrence of hospitalization and hospital length of stay is therefore of paramount importance. In this study, we can additionally identify areas for intervention; as is evident in Table 5, the stay in the hospital did not affect the patients treatment regimens, although glycemic levels at discharge were above the target (mean glucose levels at discharge >190 mg/dL). Furthermore, in only a minority of patients, an HbA1c measurement was performed during hospitalization. These issues reflect the current practice and constraint on hospitalization length and on the performance of blood tests, pushing toward shorter hospital stay and cutting back on performing blood tests not directly relevant to the immediate hospital care. It will be of interest to examine whether interventions as described above [13] will cause changes in treatment regimens with improvement in long-term outcomes and readmissions.
The glycemic control goals in nonsurgical hospitalized patients continue to be debated, but a consensus defining upper limits below 180 m/dL in noncritical patients is well based on outcomes studies and is therefore recommended by recent position papers [14]. Average glucose levels during hospitalization were above 180 mg% throughout the hospital stay (Figure 2); therefore, as noted there is a need for team consultation during hospitalization tailored to hospitals that provide medical care to populations in high risk for diabetes.
Results of this study show the impact of the high prevalence of diabetes on the hospitalization of Arab patients in Northern Israel, with specific emphasis on the burden of diabetes of the Arab women. It calls attention to the need of in-hospital consultation team and postdischarge plan. Information from the cohort described within this study might be applicable to other medical centers providing large population of Arab descent [15–17].

The Tostitos Fiesta Bowl matches two of the top offenses in the nation in Oregon and Kansas State. While both teams are ranked in the top 10 in scoring offense, their respective styles of play could not be more different.
Oregon runs a quick-strike offense that is built off of speed and big plays. Kansas State's scoring is more methodical and a result of overall team efficiency and discipline.
Kansas State's Team Efficiency/Discipline
1. Kansas State averages 10.1 fewer points per game than Oregon this season, but that does not mean its offense is any less efficient. Kansas State scored a touchdown on 40 percent of its offensive drives and is averaging 3.5 points per drive, tied with Oregon for the second-most in FBS.
2. Kansas State's average drive starts at its own 41; their opponents at their own 27. The Wildcats' plus-14 field-position differential is 4 yards better than any other FBS school.
3. The Wildcats are tied with Kent State for the best turnover margin (plus-21) in FBS this season. They had not allowed a point off of a turnover until Week 11 against TCU.
4. Kansas State is committing 3.5 penalties per game, second-fewest in FBS.
5. Oregon leads the nation in first-half scoring margin, but Kansas State has been the best second-half team in the nation (plus-12.8) largely because of its ability to force turnovers. The Wildcats have forced 16 turnovers in the second half that have led to an FBS-best 98 points off turnovers.
Oregon's Speed/Scoring
1. Oregon is averaging one point every 32.9 seconds of possession, twice the rate of the average FBS team (65.8 seconds per point).
2. The Ducks are averaging a touchdown every 11.8 plays this season, the best rate in FBS. Kansas State is third in the nation, averaging 12.8 plays per touchdown.
Oregon This Season
3. Oregon leads the FBS in offensive touchdown drives that lasted one minute or less (22) and two minutes or less (44) this season. The Ducks are averaging 2 minutes, 7 seconds per touchdown drive and are in the top three of FBS in points per game for the third straight year.
4. Oregon averages more points in the first half (31.3) than 72 FBS teams average in a game. The Ducks' average halftime lead is 22.3 points, and the only time that they trailed after halftime was after the last play of overtime in their loss to Stanford.
5. The Oregon Duck mascot does push-ups every time Oregon scores, with the number of push-ups equaling the number of points Oregon has at that point in the game. The Duck has done 2,735 pushups this season and is averaging over 225 push-ups per game. With four scores on Thursday, the Duck will probably exceed its previous high of 2,790 push-ups done in 2010.

The Dallas Cowboys announced Tuesday that they've released veteran safety Will Allen after just five games.
Like Brodney Pool a year ago, Allen was brought in this offseason to provide a veteran presence to the safety position. Pool never made it out of training camp in 2012, which puts the briefness of Allen's tenure with the team into some perspective. Allen actually started the first two games of the season before being replaced in the starting lineup by rookie J.J. Wilcox.
The former Buccaneer and Steeler saw a good amount of action in the last three contests, especially on special teams, but failed to impress.
In his five game stint with Dallas, Allen recorded nine tackles, three passes defended and an interception. 2013 was Allen's tenth year in the NFL.

I have seen a rat in my/neighbours garden what should I do?
How can I reduce the risk of rats being attracted to my garden?
How much does a rat treatment cost?
How do I book / pay for the treatment?
What if I am a tenant?
What should I do before/after treatment?
If you see a rat in your garden on just one occasion, there is generally no need to call us. Rats will come into gardens and houses for a number of reasons, primarily on the lookout for food. If you leave food out for birds, foxes hedgehogs or your pets then this will attract rats onto your property.
If you see rats coming from a neighbours property, please discuss this with them as they may already be aware and treating the problem. If they are unaware,encourage them to take action and have the problem treated. If they are unwilling to do this contact us for further advice.
If you regularly see rats or clear evidence of the presence of rats, such as holes, excavated soil under sheds, runs (rats usually use the same route and this smoothes the soil giving it a shiny appearance) or droppings, you may choose to use our Pest Control service. or a private pest control company via Buy with confidence.
Please bear in mind that hedgehogs will often choose to nest under wooden sheds and may take rat bait. They will produce a shallow scraping to gain access rather than a distinctive round hole. Bait must be laid in boxes designed to prevent access by hedgehogs
Back to top
The following tips will reduce the chances of having rats establish themselves in your garden:
When feeding birds use a bird table or bird feeder, and ensure that any food that falls to the ground is cleared away daily. You may choose to stop feeding the birds in your garden for a period of time.
Don't leave food for foxes or other wildlife lying around on the ground in your garden.
Ensure that dog and cat food, is not left unattended and remove the bowls for cleaning as soon as they are empty.
Clean away spillages of food from rabbits, guinea pigs, birds and pet cages and where possible ensure that they are raised off the ground by at least 8" (20cms) and placed on a hard non porous surface to enable easy cleaning.
Do not put meat or other non vegetable/fruit food waste into composters and where possible use properly designed compost bins.
Sheds and outbuildings should be constructed so that rats cannot gain access, particular attention should be paid to any gaps around the door as rats can enter through very small spaces.
Overgrown gardens do not necessarily attract rats or mean that rats will be there - they need food and water as well as harbourage
Ensure that your drains are in good repair, that the drains are not broken and that inspection chambers are in good condition.
Charges are payable prior to treatment
Domestic Properties
£93.00 (inc. VAT) for a course of treatment up to 4 visits, thereafter an additional £15.50 (inc. VAT) per visit will be payable.
If you are in receipt of one, or a combination of, the following benefits treatment will be free (note: proof of benefits will be required and checked prior to treatment being carried out). Full rates apply to Housing Associations and landlords.
Commercial Properties (including churches and schools)
£75.50 per hour during duty hours (exc. VAT).
£112.00 Outside duty hours (exc. VAT).
£147.00 Sunday/Bank Holidays (exc. VAT).
£38.00 Additional visits (exc. VAT).
Call 01202 261700 during working hours, (9am to 5pm Monday to Thursday and 4.30pm Fridays) where our staff will provide advice and make an appointment for treatment.
Appointments are arranged for either Monday to Saturday
We are unable to provide an exact appointment time.
Pay using credit (not American Express)/debit card when booking an appointment or by,
Cash or cheque (payable to Borough of Poole) on the day of treatment prior to it being carried out.
If you are a private tenant (or tenant of a Housing Associations including Poole Housing Partnership) you can;
Pay for the service yourself as detailed above or,
If it is your landlord's responsibility, ask them to contact us to arrange treatment as detailed above.
Note - the full rates as detailed above apply.
Our Officers must assess the need for the poison to be laid, and where it can be laid safely in a way that pets and children cannot get access to it.
Please make it clear when you call, and to the Officer upon their visit, that you have children or pets so the Officer can carry out an assessment of your circumstances and find the best location to place poison. Poison can be laid in specific hard wearing bait boxes to keep the bait safely away from your pets and children. It may not be necessary to bait within your garden. An alternative such as a neighbour's garden, with their permission may suit the situation better.
The poisons we use are for commercial use and can only be laid by a trained person.
Dead rats can be placed in your normal domestic black bin after double bagging it. It is recommended that you do not touch the rat, wear disposable gloves and that make you sure you wash your hands after disposing of it.
If a rat dies inside a property in a location difficult to access, the smell often only lasts a couple of weeks, and its impact can be reduced by use of an air freshener. If a rat has died in a location which is easy to access you can dispose of it yourself as described above.

By Allan Muir
Stars GM Joe Nieuwendyk told Dallas Morning News beat writer Mike Heika this afternoon that the NHL is not considering supplemental discipline for Martin Hanzal after the Phoenix forward's blindside hit knocked Jamie Benn out of Saturday's game.
That's not necessarily a surprise -- we likely would have heard yesterday if a hearing was on tap -- but this is the first confirmation that Hanzal is off the hook.
Dallas fans won't be happy, especially since there was no penalty during the game, either, but honestly this could have gone either way. Hanzal has a record with the Department of Player Safety and Benn had to leave the game, but the Stars center also spent a little too much time admiring his own shot and opened himself up to get plastered.
"I got my bell rung," Benn said Monday. "I didn't really see him, but [Brendan] Shanahan said it was a clean hit, so I'm moving on. It is what it is."
Benn confirmed at practice this morning that he didn't suffer a concussion as a result of the hit, but it's not a sure thing that he'll be available when the Stars host Nashville on Tuesday. The problem, he said, is his wrist.
"It was a separate play [from the Hanzal hit]. I just jammed it. It swelled up a bit, I got some treatment. I'll practice tomorrow and take it from there."

The Mets bullpen could go from not worth the pay to Surfin' USA.
Brian Wilson, a former All-Star closer with the Giants, has emerged as a candidate for the beleaguered Mets bullpen after team officials watched him throw on Saturday at UCLA, general manager Sandy Alderson confirmed yesterday.
The 30-year-old Wilson — identified throughout baseball by his outrageously thick beard — missed most of last season after undergoing Tommy John surgery in April and watched from the sidelines as the Giants won their second World Series in three years. Wilson, who made $8.5 million in 2012, was non-tendered by the Giants after the season.
Alderson, who watched the right-hander throw during Saturday's audition, told The Post he is "not sure" if he will extend an offer to Wilson, who reportedly has several other teams interested.
Wilson has been selected to three All-Star teams and had his best season for the Giants in 2010, when he went 3-3 with a 1.81 ERA and 48 saves. He appeared in only two games last year before undergoing surgery. It was Wilson's second Tommy John surgery.
Though Wilson has expressed optimism he will be ready for Opening Day, the possibility exists he may need to extend his spring training. Recovery from Tommy John surgery typically takes a full year, but coming off his second, Wilson might need additional time.
But it's clear Alderson is far from content heading to spring training without at least trying to upgrade a bullpen that was among the worst in the majors in 2012.
Frank Francisco, who is owed $6.5 million next season, struggled in the closer's role last year and would move to a setup job with the addition of Wilson. The 33-year-old Francisco last month underwent surgery to remove a bone spur in his right elbow, but is expected to be ready for the start of spring training, a team official said yesterday.
Bobby Parnell, Josh Edgin, Jeurys Familia and Robert Carson are among the Mets' other returning relievers, with veteran Greg Burke also in the mix.
Francisco went 1-3 with a 5.53 ERA and 23 saves last season. He spent six weeks on the disabled list with a strained oblique muscle and was also unavailable late in the season because of elbow soreness.
Alderson hardly gave Francisco a ringing endorsement last week when asked by The Post if he was confident with the right-hander as his closer heading into 2013.
"Confident? I'm willing," Alderson said. "There's still a lot out there and we're looking."

As a birthday present, a friend organised for four of us to go attend a 90-minute trek at Mill Farm Riding School, which we all really enjoyed. I hadn't ridden for many years and my three companions had never been on a horse before, so we were in a beginner's group, led by (name removed) with help from (name removed) and a couple of other girls (whose names I didn't catch - sorry!). They were all very friendly and knowledgeable. The horses were great and had been matched to each of us. As I had previous experience, I was allowed to control my horse for most of the trek, and we also trotted and cantered, which was fantastic. Even though it was raining, we still had a great time and the scenery was lovely too.

Many people will be traveling this holiday season, and some family pets will be going along for the ride too.
"I travel with my pets all the time. They like to go, but some pets are really uncomfortable riding in the car. So, you base it on the animal, " says Animal Shelter of Muskingum County Executive Director, Larry Hostetler.
Hostetler wants to make sure the pets that are left behind this holiday season aren't neglected.
"If it's a few hours, most of the animals are used to being along for a while-while you're at work and stuff-but if you're going away overnight, you might want to consider a pet sitter coming in or a friend to take care of the animals, " says Hostetler.
Hostetler says cats are a little easier to take care of because they can be left home alone a little bit longer, but he says to make sure your pets have plenty of food and water.
If you're pets stay outdoors, make sure they have a warm and dry place to go if it gets cold out, such as a barn, garage, or dog house, and if you plan on being out of town for an extended period of time, Hostetler says you may want to think about boarding your pets at a local facility or veterinarian's office.

Hi Friends,
It has been more then 30 months since India-Forums started from a small blog with daily update of Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin (http://www.bhatter.com/jassi) to a temporary domain KG2PG and then finally moving to www.India-Forums.com we have certainly come a long way. The animation that I was talking about in my last announcement is almost ready which will give you an idea on how we started. Thanks to our cartoon animation expert Partho for doing it for us.
Something that was started out to do something different (as at that time it was called "funny" to be managing a Indian Television Discussion Forum) has today made India Forums as one of the most popular Indian Discussion forums and the idea has clicked so well that today we see almost a few dozens more forums and sites coming up on the same lines. However there is something that makes India Forums unique and better is the sense of belonging towards the Forum by its members and the undivided and relentless support by the Dev Team. For me and most of the other members it wont be wrong if we say its truly "home away from home" where we spend countless hours discussing, exploring our creativity and making new friends.
Today India Forums ranks in the Top 2000 sites of the World and also in the Top 20 Indian websites bracket and the servers handling the load of 40Million pageviews a month is no Joke.
However, what really amazes me is the fact that everyone in the IF Dev Team are giving their spare time to forum development and just imagine what would really happen even if half of us in the Dev Team are full time on the forum . Thats one area we are working on to make the site even more addictive and productive too.
Some of the things which we started or going to start are:
The idea has always been to create an enjoyable place on the internet which people of all age can relate to and have fun. India Forums success is a good example of what a strong united force of self-motivated individuals can achieve.
We hope that we will continue to recieve our members support in all our upcoming ventures. And with a team like IF Dev Team (including both our India-Forums.com and India-forums.in Dev Team) I firmly believe that we can achieve the impossible.
The target for the next 3 months is to break into the "Top 1000" sites and to cross 1 Billion Pageviews a month mark. There are a lot of interesting stuff I will be doing which will be moved into the India-Forums network of sites :
Will surely keep you all updated on the latest happenings.
P.S. Life can really be FUN if we just do things which we enjoy doing. Have Fun!

The sequel to Monroe's Journey Out Of The Body is an amazing parapsychological odyssey that reflects a decade of research into the psychic realm beyond the known dimensions of physical reality.
©1985 Robert A. Monroe (P)2014 David N. Wilson
"You are more than your physical body . . ."
Far Journeys is the second of Robert Monroe's trilogy and is my favorite. I've read the actual book twice already but listening to the audio version is a real treat.
Kevin Pierce is awesome as the narrator.
Journeys Out of the Body was interesting, but described Robert Monroe's observations when he was still questioning his experiences. In Far Journeys, this second book, there is more about his out of body experiences and Robert Monroe is a good writer. Even though I've read this book before, his eloquent usage of words makes revisiting his book just as enjoyable as before. I'm looking forward to the audio version of the third book of the trilogy, Ultimate Journey.
This single book had a tremendous impact on my life and beliefs. It was a catalyst in a mind expanding search for more information and changed the way I spend my time . . . this life.
I'm not certain this book is for everyone, but if a person is looking for answers as to why we are here, who we are, what we can do in this lifetime . . . there were quite a few answers in here (for me, your mileage may vary.) And, the story that winds through these pages is simply amazing.
It's another of many books that are becoming available these days about Consciousness beyond the brain matter contained in our skulls.
"Mind Blowing"
All of it
All of it
I would have liked to but the information presented precludes any dream of it. Half way thru I was so shaken I had to stop and spend time to get a handle on what Monroe is saying. I always thought I was not my body. Monroe provides the rest of the story.
This book should be required reading in all senior highschools.
"Mind opening, challenging your belief systems "
it's been awhile since I've been so caught up in a book. ...I will probably listen to it again!
"An Insightful and Inspirational Story"
This was an incredible piece of writing by Robert Monroe. anyone with an interest in consciousness, oobes, life after death, or Life's purpose should read this. a must read!
"Terrific, consciousness expanding book"
Great narration. Mind blowing. Totally engrossing, and believable (in a sense)... Loved it.
A journey through some very wild territory.
"Enjoyable and interesting"
Very enjoyable listening both due to the content and the excellent quality of the reader (Kevin Pierce). Kevin Pierce is the best reader that I've heard on Audible to date. I listened 2 1/2 times through to really get everything out of it that I could. Robert Monroe, the author, provides a very interesting history of Earth. I look forward to my own out-of-body experiences so that I can find out about all this stuff for myself.
"Excellent information. A must-have if you're interested in OOBEs."
Robert Monroe is to stepping out of the body as Tesla and Edison were to the pioneering electricity. This is one of Monroe's second book. I suggest reading them in order as they could be read independently, but they'll be more understandable, instructive, and informative if you read them in the order in which they were originally released.
The narrator is very articulate, easy on the ears, has a gentle cadence that keeps you listening in a relaxed way without zoning out. Almost as though he's reading it in front of a group of people around a fireplace. Nice.
Great book.
"absolutely amazing!"
loved it, the wonderful unfolding, the rich vocabulary. I was actually sad it finished, so much that I immediately started listening from the beginning again.
"Awesome perspective"
Yes, My mother has terminal cancer and sharing this with her, uplifted her outlook on the inevitable.
Good question and I don't have a good answer yet.
It work's
I would say extreme, but it does illicit a very tense feeling of knowing.
Listen to the audio without distractions.
"Excellen Book"
The subject matter is very interesting. I have read all of Robert Monroe's books....a couple of times.
Robert Monroe is a leader in this field. His books are excellent.
A very instructive manual. Much knowledge and guidance for those who are inquisitive and aware. Very well read. Some descriptions need concentration, but very well worth applying your mind. Love the epilogue, good guide for life.
great story and very well narrated , bob monroe has laid down a road that has made it very easy for us to follow.
"Love these books!"
I loved reading the Robert Monroe books and loved listening to them. The narrator does an excellent job. I hope they create an audio book for the third title.

Kitase: "I can still remember our very first meetings concerning FFVII there at the office, 14 years ago. We were just done with FFVI and simply wanted to keep going. The idea was to produce yet another SNES game, and Hironobu Sakaguchi explained to us that it was going to take place in the year 1999, in New York."
Q: When you look at Midgar and how modern it feels compared to previous towns in FF, it feels completely logical that a present-day New York was the model image. And I assume that these ideas also formed the basis for Parasite Eve and perhaps even a time period in Chrono Trigger?
Kitase: Right, thats how it was. Many of us who took part in these early planning sessions worked in parallel on Chrono Trigger, and Sakaguchi went on to make Parasite Eve right after FFVII together with Tetsuya Nomura among other people. So some of the ideas we had at this stage ended up in those games instead.
Q: Describe a typical work day for you back in those days.
Kitase: The development of FFVII went on in several different phases, and my days were fully effected by which phase we were in. It was a big step to abandon the SNES for the PlayStation, and once that decision had been made, there was no turning back. Until then, I had always been able to visualize the games I was working on in my head; I could picture what the final game would look like. But I honestly dont think that anyone in the team had any idea about what FFVII would look like when it was done.
At first, we just tried to come up with ideas that would be doable in 3D graphics. We studied every 3D game we could get our hands on, a lot of them from Western developers and often PC games.
Q: Youve mentioned 4D Sports Boxing as an early influence.
Kitase: Yes, that was one of the first polygon games I came into contact with and was fascinated by. Another - perhaps a more obvious influence was Alone in the Dark. Infogrames used 3D graphics to create horror moments, but we wanted to make something more grandiose. We kept on working that way all the time, gathered influences from everyone on the team and tried to piece them together into something that resembled a Japanese RPG.
Q: What was your role in the team?
Kitase: I received the title of director. Id already had that during the development of FFVI, but the 3D graphics completely changed my way of working. During this time, I did a completely different kind of hands-on work compared to the overseeing role I have now. I could spend entire work days with the Softimage program and experiment with characters, surroundings and scenes in the game. The script writer, Kazushige Nojima, wrote scenarios that he sent to me and I transformed them into storyboards or tried to recreate them with our graphics engine. In many ways, the script and our entire way to work was more reminding of a film production than any of the game projects we had been working on in the past.
Q: And you were an old film student, right?
Kitase: Yes, I loved movies already as a child. My favorite pastime was going to the cinema. One of my earliest memories is when I saw The Bridge on River Kwai, and it was when was twelve years old and had seen Star Wars in the cinema that I decided that I wanted to become a film director when I grew up.
That I ended up in the gaming industry was really by chance. After I had graduated from school, I started to work with animation, but I played a lot of games in my spare time and one day I saw a job ad from Square in a gaming magazine and thought that the job sounded exciting. And all of a sudden it was there that I made a career.
Q: Did you benefit a lot from the knowledge in film when you begun to direct FF?
Kitase: The first years at the company, in the beginning of the 90s, I learned most of it from Sakaguchi. We worked very closely together and his way of creating scenarios in games was unique. He developed his storytelling that was adapted for games with each new FF project, and he taught me how things worked. But when we switched over to 3D, I and the entire team benefited from my experience and knowledge from the film industry. I saw the potential in our early internal 3D demos right away.
Q: So then it was your turn to educate Sakaguchi.
Kitase: Haha, yes, perhaps. But he wasnt as involved in the daily work with FFVII as I was. He wrote the original script, made up the guidelines for everything and created the overarching concepts. It was he who shaped the large metropolis that would become New York but was later transformed into Midgar, and the whole concept of the life stream came from his head.
Q: It feels like FF changed when you took over the directors chair from Sakaguchi with FFVI. Suddenly the series got a darker theme and a more serious tone. Is that your doing?
Kitase: Yes, could be. Sakaguchi is a very good person. He cares a lot about nature and the spiritual and is convinced that a persons soul can overcome anything. Its a general theme also in FFVII, but I probably contributed a lot to giving it a darker side.
Q: Hows the relationship between you and Nomura today? Its been said that youve become rivals and would rather not work together anymore. And the fact that youre producing a FFXIII game each of your own isnt exactly a way of killing off the rumors.
Kitase: Haha, no hmm, how am I going to explain this? Let me begin by pointing out that Nomura is designing characters both for FFXIII and FFvXIII and that its absolutely not a matter of us not being able to work together. But ok, there are differences between us, what we want to accomplish and how we create games. Its not a hostile rivalry, but we dont share the exact same goal. But wouldnt it be boring if that was the case? My view of it is that were two creative minds who work together sometimes and then move on on different paths, but always meet up again.
When we started to plan for FFXIII, I told Nomura that there were certain ideals that we had to attain. Theres a standard we follow when we develop a new mainline FF. Back then, the plan was to develop the game for the PS2 and we decided that Nomura would make FFvXIII for the PS3. With that, he could do something different; that game wouldnt have to follow the traditional FF format. And Ive always encouraged him to experiment and try out completely new ideas. Hes allowed to take risks; its almost an end in itself with that project.
Q: What about Sakaguchi then? Hows your relation today?
Kitase: Well, we actually met up as recently as a couple of weeks ago and had sushi.
Q: What did you talk about?
Kitase: It was mostly personal stuff, the kind that two men in their 40s talk about when they eat sushi, haha. But after a while it actually became very interesting. We entered the subject of the games weve created together and the future for the genre that we helped establish both in and outside of Japan. We discussed how RPGs could evolve and how the command-based system is in need of renewal, all while being an important part of the genres popularity.
Q: Whats his opinion on the FFVII projects that youve produced after he left Square Enix?
Kitase: Oh, I really dont know. Im sure that we send all FF games to him, but hes never told me when he does with them or what he thinks about them. On the other hand, Im not sure if Ive ever told him when I thought about FF before I started working at Square. It was honestly speaking really only a worse copy of what Enix was doing at the time. Dragon Quest was much better!


text: Hello there, Following Bearcarvers step-by-step, i attempted my first go at Canadian bacon. My loins have been curing for twelve days, eight pounds total. I pulled them out of cure and gave them a bath. I cut a piece from the center for cure penetration/fry test. Pink to the center, good good. Fry test was perfect. So i seasoned them up with CBP onion and garlic powder and into a 130 degree smoker to form a pellicle. It is already 8pm so it is gonna be a long ride, cannot wait !

No, I'm not leaving the hive yet; I haven't quite finished sharing. This post is about our wedding weekend farewell brunch. I loved the idea of adding an extra event to our weekend, but I was a bit skeptical about choosing a brunch.
I didn't know if it would be worth the money. Having a welcome dinner where you spend more time with guests sounds so much more exciting.
But, since people were traveling a long way and more people could make it to a Sunday morning event, we chose the brunch.
We spent the morning after our wedding reminiscing with everyone.
Our parents did the same.
And, we were pleasantly surprised with the brunch options. We didn't fully review the menu, and we chose to have the brunch at our wedding venue for our guest's convenience. It's located across the street from most of the hotels we blocked rooms with.
The food ended up being incredible. They had an omelet station, home fries, bacon, sausage, pancakes, scrambled eggs, fruit, eggs benedict, pastries, a carving station, seafood, chicken, sides, salads…and on top of all the brunch options, they had a dessert station with mini desserts and chocolate covered strawberries. It was amazing.
The reason we chose the ABC for our brunch, other than convenience, was the view. We had the brunch in a room overlooking the water.
Everyone seemed to enjoy it. It was a great way to end a trip to Newport before a long drive home.
The food was great and the company was great, but then things started to wind down. It was time to say goodbye and end our incredible weekend. We gave hugs and said farewell. Group by group, our friends and family began to leave.
I thought I'd be sad when it was all over, but instead I felt content. I really enjoyed the planning phase and I worried nothing would live up to my expectations. I was surprised to realize I wouldn't want to do it again because I know nothing could compare to that day. Not really just the day, the whole weekend. Every moment was amazing.
How did you feel when your wedding was over? Were there any regrets, or things you wanted to change, or did you feel content, as well?

The two clowns from the company's community outreach program travel around the United States, visiting local schools, hospitals and libraries sharing their comedic, interactive style. Aside from the workshop, the Ambassadors of Laughter also performed a part of their own act.
The clowns worked with the Summer Stage actors, including the community children who annually participate, on using their whole bodies to express emotions rather than just using words. They also demonstrated the art of a good "trip," the technique behind a "double take," and explained in detail the comedic "rule of three" – a principle that suggests things that come in threes are inherently funnier.
According to BHSU Summer Stage actress Melissa Barnard, speech communication major from Rapid City, everyone learned something valuable from the workshop. "It was more geared toward the adults, but the kids definitely did really well," she says.
The clowns watched the actors work with the concepts and then gave feedback on their demonstrations. They also performed a portion of their own act, which included music, audience participation, and some juggling. Finally, the actors were given the opportunity to pick their own nose, a big red clown nose.
The Summer Stage actors will be putting their skills to work during their final show of the summer, Lie, Cheat, and Genuflect, a comedy by Billy Van Zandt and Jane Millmore. They will be performing tonight and tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 2:30 p.m. All performances will be in the Pangburn Hall Theatre, reservations are recommended. To make reservations or learn more about the Summer Stage visit www.BHSU.edu/Theatre, call 605.642.6171, or email email@example.com. Ticket prices are $14 for adults, $12 for seniors, $9 for students, and $6 for ages 17 and under.

People have an unusual, superstitious interest in the number seven. Look at the proof: 7UP and Seagram's 7 (which, if you mix them together, make the ever popular seven & seven cocktail), the Seven Signs of the Apocalypse, The Magnificent Seven, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, 7th Heaven (Jessica Biel, you foul temptress!), the seven deadly sins (which spawned that creepy-ass Brad Pitt movie). And, of course, that's also the real name of Erykah Badu's son and what George Costanza wanted to name the child he and Susan never had.
But sometimes that number isn't particularly lucky. Let's take, for example, a new downtown nightclub called Seven Lounge (1006 Bagby, suite 106). To be more accurate, Seven Lounge is actually located in the Midtown area, which suits its owners just fine. "It's still centrally located," assures Chuck Russell. "It's not that difficult to find once you know where it is." Russell, along with fellow owner Todd Stevens, have already struck success in Midtown with their two-year-old world cuisine eatery Farrago (318 Gray). With the weeks-old Seven, a block away from Farrago, the management is looking to attract folks who are fed up with the NoDo hustle and bustle and are looking for a stress-free time. "When the downtown landlords got a little greedy, and with all the construction, it just made sense to do something outside of downtown and still be close," he says.
So these cats open up a cavernous club with a 25-and-up age limit ("We don't want the college kids," Russell says bluntly), folks flock in, and everything's peachy, right? You'd think so, but during the club's preparation, the Seven owners made an awkward discovery: There's already another joint in town with the same name. To be exact, this spot is known as the Seven Sports & Music Bar (4709 Dowling). As with the Midtown Seven, they have a roman numeral sign in the window.
But the similarities stop there. The Third Ward Seven is a black-owned club that's primarily frequented by black people. The club is by no means a hole-in-the-wall, which has caught some patrons off-guard. "Ninety-five percent of my clientele are professionals," says Third Ward Seven owner Nathan Campbell. "But a lot of people that finally find this place are surprised that this is the Seven that they hear so much [about]."
A club or bar picking up the name, intentionally or unintentionally, of another club or bar is not a new thing. But usually a new spot will take on the name of a club in another city. There is another Cafe Brasil in New Orleans, for example, and another Tonic on Manhattan's Lower East Side. Needless to say, Campbell was a little peeved that some Midtown boys would open up a club with the same name as his a mere four miles away. (Campbell says he's gotten a few phone calls asking for directions to the Midtown Seven.) In fact, he believes the owners came into his spot one night to ask questions and make sure his Seven wouldn't clash with theirs.
"No, they didn't introduce themselves," he says. "But [some people] came in and looked around and they asked questions. Then, another Seven opens."
The folks at the Midtown Seven Lounge say they never went to the Third Ward Seven to, as Bernie Mac would say, see what the fuck is goings-on. They say they named the spot after a Sunday-night party Farrago used to have called "Day Seven" and only found out about the Third Ward Seven two months into the club's construction.

"We heard after we'd already signed our limited liability partnership," says Seven general manager Nelson Cormack. But instead of changing the name, the Midtown entrepreneurs decided to push forward, figuring that the name isn't copyrighted and that they're attracting an entirely different audience. "We were actually shocked that there was one that close," says Cormack. "But they're a sports bar. It's a different atmosphere as well."
Campbell isn't sweating the whole name thing too hard. "What's that saying? Imitation is " The sincerest form of flattery? "That's right. That's what I wanna say!"
Last Call
Although it has been open a good couple of months now and even caught the attention of this column when it began picking up customers (see "West End Glitz Blitz," April 11), The Social Lounge and Patio Bar (3730 Washington Avenue) has decided that now would be a good time to announce its "grand opening." Guess they needed more time to get a good deal on champagne or something. On Wednesday, July 31, the Sixth Ward fun spot will finally hold its grand opening, which will also serve as a benefit for Citizens for Animal Protection. The overworked and hopefully overpaid DJ Sun is the featured talent for the occasion. Even if you've been going to the Social since it first opened, you can still attend this event -- just act surprised and overwhelmed when you see all the cool furniture and stuff.

This study proposes methods for determining the optimal lot sizes for sequential auctions that are conducted to sell sizable quantities of an item. These auctions are fairly common in business to consumer (B2C) auctions. In these auctions, the tradeoff for the auctioneer is between the alacrity with which funds are received, and the amount of funds collected by the faster clearing of inventory using larger lot sizes. Observed bids in these auctions impact the auctioneer

text: I found this super slow motion youtube video of recoil. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXZUMGRxPM4"]Firearm cycling slow motion / ciclo das armas camera lenta - YouTube[/ame] Does the barrel start to rise before the bullet leaves? I've heard it said that slower loads shoot higher from a handgun because they are in the barrel longer. Do you think that is actually true (or if true, is it true for that reason?). How much does follow through affect accuracy? These are the sorts of questions of interest to me when I look at this video Oh, also, anyone know of video like this with a Gen 4 Glock so we can see exactly what is going on with the brass to the head ejection pattern Do you think Glock has such video? The must have, I'd think. Good news is my Gen 4 Glock 17 hasn't brassed me in the head as much recently. Problem seems to have virtually fixed itself. And finally, what the heck really is a double-tap??? Because I don't see anyway two bullets are coming out for one recoil

I'm not happy.
I've been experiencing the same frustrating problem for the past two days. I don't find any solution on the ATT Web site and would appreciate someone from ATT Support posting a solution for this situation.
I'm still waiting for an ATT Technical Specialist to respond to this problem. I spent the better part of my Saturday trying to unravel the dilemma. I connected with ATT eChat Support four times and was disconnected each time. I finally gave up and tried phoning. After waiting nearly an hour with repeated messages about "unusually high call volume," I gave up. Now, this morning, I find no solutions posted to the problem described. Can any offer some help here?

Hello, Penny.
Thank you for responding. I had tried what you suggest over the weekend. I tried again this morning.
I accessed the screen at www.att.net/upgrade.
I entered my main account email address (this is the Member ID, right?)
I chose the domain (att.net) from the drop-down menu.
I entered my main account password.
Then, I received this message:
"Sorry, your account is not eligible for migration at this time. We apologize for the inconvenience."
I would appreciate your help. I tried the online eChat support over the weekend, and kept being disconnected. The technician had tried to take control of my computer, and I kept being disconnected even though I had disabled my security software. I also tried phoning your support team over the weekend and was unable to reach anyone. I'm at work now, and we have firewalls that I can't disable, which would prevent the eChat support from accessing my computer screen.
I've not been able to access my email since last Thursday.
