John Knight 1600-1680
John Knight was born in Warwick in 1600 and was admitted to Caius college in 1619. In 1625 he was ordained by the Bishop of Peterborough as deacon and as priest after
taking his degree, and received his M.A. in 1626.
He served most of his military career as a naval surgeon. Pepys met Knight and his wife at a dinner in 1662 where he has written in his diary 'We were pretty merry'.
The surgeons started to receive a higher and respectable form of professional recognition as in 1664 John Knight was made Surgeon General of all the forces in England and Wales. John Knight was a supporter of the royalist cause and was a contemporary of Richard Wiseman.
He followed Prince Charles to Europe during the time of the royalist exile and returned with Charles II in 1660. He was favoured by the king simply because of his loyalty towards the crown.
In the seventeenth century, a change of attitude took place, which was to change the nature of thought towards medicine. This was in part because of the reformation; the influence of the Catholic Church had collapsed in Britain and elsewhere. Previously, Galileo pronounced that science is measurement. With scientific discoveries by the likes of the well respected Isaac Newton (1643-1727) and others, the investigation into medical property's of substances speeded up and did not stir up a panic by the clergy on the opposition to God's will.273
Morel introduced the tourniquet into common use in 1674; the screw tourniquet was introduced in 1718 by Petit.
This change of attitude towards scientific and medical research became known as the enlightenment.
John Knight died in 1680 and was buried at St Brides Church in Fleet Street, London.
John Knight was also associated with the Hunstation lighthouse, and was a close friend of Samuel Pepys. He was granted the first patent for the lighthouse.62

They were done by Jim Carter and the people from WE Chapps - top quality! Right now we have 3 sizes - XL, 2XL, and 3XL. I assume that most people of the site will want one of these three sizes. However, if you prefer a smaller size, let me know, and based on the response, I will order more. The mousepads are very nice as well. We have the order form almost complete. I think the shirts are going to be somewhere between $20-$25 and the mousepads are going to be somewhere between $7-$10. Expect to see a post in the next day or two with a link to the order form. In the meantime, post here is you have any questions, comments or suggestions.

"The woman with the anime body" is keeping interest in the sexy sweater from becoming flaccid.
Women are still modeling the sexy outfit too, but today this buff cosplayer is stealing the spotlight.
Ultra-revealing sweater may not be all that warm, but it sure is hot, as is the anime-style artwork it's inspiring.
Sometimes, the line between "fashionable coutfit" and "ice cream bar" is a little blurry.
With winter comes a new season of fashion. Great for the ladies and gentlemen out there with the cash and time to prepare a fancy wardrobe. From beautiful gloves to sexy-but-warm coats, there's something for anyone who looks.
But there's one item of clothing that, despite how warm and comfy it is, no one should ever be seen wearing in public: the novelty sweater.

When I was just a little Aspienaut, before I started working for NASA (New Autism Spectrum Awareness) I didn't realize how lucky I was to be an Aspie. In these regular posts I'm going to explore and explain just how lucky we are to see the world the way we do. Aspieness can be a challenge, and make our lives extra difficult but the key word in this sentence is extra and this is why:
For many, it seems very hard to understand what makes us Aspies different from them but it's actually quite simple: Most people who are not on the spectrum are very interested in (and focused on) people and relationships. On the other hand, we Aspies are focused on things. By things, I mean literally everything else. This means that we are less preoccupied by people and can see the world outside the context of people more clearly. This is why we become great scientists, writers, musicians, artists, computer experts and much more besides.
We have the extra focus and extra capacity to succeed through our ability to see things differently and not be distracted. It sounds like such a small thing but it can mean a lot. That extra can make all the difference.
When amazing Aspies like Clay Marzo, the surfer or Vernon Smith, the Nobel prize-winning economist are asked what makes them successful, they both report its the fact that the can focus for long periods on the things they are most interested in.
Be it Surfing or Mathematics it's the extraness of their aspieness, like the extraness of yours, that means, just like you, they are extra amazing.
Don't feel sorry for those those who are not like us, they're amazing too. Just in a different way.
Paul C Siebenthal is a 38 year-old Aspie who was diagnosed at 25. Started blogging and tweeting last year as Aspienaut, working for NASA (New Autism Spectrum Awareness). He is passionate about creativity and helping young people on the spectrum to see just how amazing they are and how great it can be to be Wired Differently.

SX4 is originally a Fiat.
re: i20, I'm sorry I didn't look up the values, I could be wrong.
Got it..
Tyre speed rating| ZigWheels.com
Can't really say that!
It was built in collaboration!
designed at Italdesign Giugiaro studio, but initially manufactured in Suzuki's plant and even sold with Suzuki's petrol engines. Talking about Fiat Sedici here.
Fiat Sedici - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Suzuki SX4 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mods Note - I have created a new thread with Shashank's accident posts - http://www.teamfiat.co.in/street-travel-experience/10830-accident-due-aquaplaning.html
Spotted this badly rear ended Linea. It was very new.
BV series is quite old I believe. The car may be 1.5 to 2 years old. Also, the number is looking somewhat familiar to me.
Any information on the occupants? I hope nothing serious happened.
Ramesh, the seat covers were still on, and the car was very fresh. And the white seemed like New Pearl white shade rather than BNW. So I made a guess that the car is quite new. Also, number plate seems to be VST ishtyle.
The occupants were all safe is what I heard. The rear windscreen was totally shattered due to the impact. And the rear doors had moved forward a bit.
EDIT: Just noticed that there are no seat covers atleast for the rear seat.
Thats really a very bad hit, rear has almost got inside by 1 feet. Good part is that even after such a hard hit, there is no sign of damage inside the passenger cabin. Though i doubt that passengers on rear seat might had some frontal injuries, if they where not having seat belts on. Given the FASS speed of work and parts availability, the car is going to stay there for months if not called as totaled.
Hmm, see the repose of RSA. also the general perception about FIAT.
[h=5]Firstly I would like to thank FIAT for saving myself and my family from one of the worst accident with a very solid car Linea...
On 14th October, I was travelling from Chennai to Bangalore along with my family. At about 4.00pm in the evening, at a place near Nattrampalli, 30Kms away from Krishnagiri, with a front tyre burst, my car veered in to the left side and went off road before toppling over.
While the air bag never got activated, possibly because it never hit anything solid on the way before toppling, we were all safe with very minor injuries miraculously.
Now coming to the support received from FIAT emergency care, I'm really ashamed and shocked with the support that I received from FIAT.
I made the first call to the emergency call center 1800 209 5556 on 14th October around 5.pm for recovery and all other related help.
The lady who picked up the call was courteous enough in the beginning to enquire about all the occupants and their condition etc... But what was more important to me was the support to recover the car and other formalities... The lady told me she will arrange a call back with a possible towing agency number... Sadly I never received any calls after that....
Also during the conversation, after providing all the basic details like Registration number and location details, she was insisting me on providing damage details of the car. This was after clearly mentioned that the car was not in drivable condition and damage was such that it had to be towed! More worse was she was asking me when was the car bought and from where etc...etc... I really wonder how come a customer support doesn't have all these details??? Also requesting me explain about the accident and what all damages to the car was also really hurting at the time when my family (including 2 kids) were being taken in Ambulance to the hospital. I thought these finer details could have been reserved for another day. Was really shocking experience to say the least...
I again tried to contact the same toll free number on 15th October morning (about 10am) to check on the status and for support to bring the car back to Bangalore service center, the lady again informed me that they were trying to reach me on 14th evening but the call didn't get connected. Also she informed me that she will again arrange for towing (through 3rd party) and will call me back immediately.
But that call too never arrived... Finally I had to arrange for the recovery of my vehicle from there to Bangalore on my own.
I would like to point out here that my phone was very much in working condition and was receiving calls from even outside the country!
I'm really worried about your support and I want to know why do you have such a pathetic helpline if you cant even arrange for emergency recovery, leave alone other support!!!
I'll Message you my contact details, if you are really bothered about myself (customer) or atleast about your brand image FIAT!!! Last 2 days have been really a horrific experience with FIAT Customer Care.
This is totally unacceptable and need some answers from FIAT on this...
Note : My car (LINEA) is right now with Vecto Motors, Hosur Road, Bangalore for repairs, awaiting the estimation...[/h]
Ordeal is still continuing
Inspite of calling up on the FIAT CC for the follow-up on this issue, all I get to hear from you is the standard "will call you back" !!! Worst of all is to hear... that the supervisor is not there at this moment please call us back after few hours for escalations....!!! Infact when I was loosing cool in hearing this, the call was disconnected!!! GREAT RESPONSE...
You might get away with this, but your this attitude will kill your business even if you have a world class car like Linea!!! Count your days, if you don't pull up your socks....
DAYLIGHT ROBBERY at Manipal Hospitals
Visited Manipal hospital at Airport road, Bangalore for the second opinion after we were treated at government hospital in Krishnagiri post the road accident we had in a place near Krishnagiri... While getting admitted in the emergency dept. I clearly mentioned to those folks that the accident was already reported to the police in Natrampalli station and I have the reference number etc..etc...!!! But inspite of this Manipal hospital insisted on reporting the same to the local police... I thought its fine and whats big deal about it as I have anyway already reported the incident to police.
Now comes the BIG shock.... A Charge of Rs.720 (YES! its SEVEN HUNDRED and TWENTY) being charged as processing charge for reporting (MLC - Medico Legal Case) it to police...!!! then the bigger shock was that the same was charged for all the 3 of us... This being single incident, just one report with all 3 names isn't sufficient?
WORST OF ALL.... Only one report was sent to the police although they charged for all 3 of us!!! Atleast I'm not aware of any other hospital charging for this and in this manner especially...
If this isn't qualifying for DAYLIGHT ROBBERY? then what else ??? For doing this kind of business they could beg on streets with more dignity!!! Shame on you Manipal Hospital
Separate names with a comma.

Based on the information that you've provided so far, I'm fairly sure that something must be wrong. Without some diagnostics of some sort, we can comiserate but there isn't much that we can do to help you.
My first thought would be to upload the error log files (one for MSDE, one for the SQL Agent). If you have a standard (default) installation, you should find two files named ERRORLOG somwhere inside the C:\PROGRAM FILES\Microsoft SQL Server folder on your machine.

Static Straps, SGIs and stuff, was: KIM-1
Expand Messages
- I do.. I have a couple. I used to be a field service tech back in the last 80s / early 90s..
I also used to repair SGIs which explains my unreasonable emotional reactions to those machines.
I went to Origin 2000 and Onyx2 repair training back in the 90s and was in their repair rooms and we wore special shoes and anti-static straps and coats.
The cards had special interfaces and if you touched them, the card was considered useless because the oils from your skin would damage the interface over time.
I had a lot of fun with those machines. In one lab we took all the machines and played multi-user dog fight. They had a wire frame flight simulator and we did dog fights against each other.. This was like 1996.
Man I should do this for a VCF since between Brian and I we have the machines for it.

"While COG and Capacity performed in line with expectations, there were mixed fortunes. Both businesses lost volume to certain clients automating and mechanising previously labour-intensive processes but were able to more than recover these lost volumes elsewhere by way of market share gains," [DATA ADR:Adcorp Holdings] said.
"This move to automation and mechanisation is reflective of employers responding to a turbulent labour market which is characterised by militant strike action in pursuit of above-inflationary wage demands, the threat of new, cumbersome labour legislation and economic uncertainty in a relatively lacklustre economy."
(READ MORE: Contextual analysis necessary for new labour legislation)
The diversified workforce management and business process outsourcing company, which has a number of operations including ADfusion, Capacity Outsourcing, Capital Outsourcing Group (COG), Charisma, FMS, Quest and Staff U Need (SUN), also saw growth in its full year revenue.
Group revenue for the year ending 28 February 2014 grew 37 per cent to 11.8 billion rand from 8.6 billion rand for the same period in 2013.
"The blue-collar operations continued to perform particularly well. Specifically, SUN had an exceptional year. The white-collar contracting and permanent recruitment businesses were generally flat year on year," said Adcorp.
"Business process outsourcing (BPO) businesses reflected an overall year-on-year decline in profits which was largely as a result of the pricing pressure in the business of FMS. This decline was partially offset by the solid performance of the financial services business."
Operating profit for the group increased from 285 million rand in the 2013 year to 301 million rand in 2014. However, the company itself reported an operating loss of 108 million rand from a loss of 17 million rand in 2013.
The group's profit before taxation increased to 256 million rand in 2014 from 232 million rand in 2013 while headline earnings dropped to 175 million rand from 186 million rand.
Diluted headline earnings per share for the group decreased from 221.1 cents in the 2013 year to 176.4 cents in 2014.
(READ MORE: Adcorp aims to improve global portfolio)
"The outlook for growth in employment in South Africa and Australia remains relatively lacklustre, while the rest of Africa and Asia hold far more promise with regard to general employment prospects. These macro trends aside, the group is well positioned strategically and should benefit from the following industry-specific and micro trends," Adcorp said.
"For quite some time, the group's South African staffing operations have been the subject of much speculation regarding proposed changes to labour legislation aimed at restricting the use of contract workers. The proposed changes to the Labour Relations Act should generally be positive for the business although potentially negative for employment prospects in South Africa."

Thanks to its poor performance in the most recent round of Insurance Institute for Highway Safety crash testing, where it received the lowest overall score in the small-overlap test, Consumer Reports has bumped the Honda Fit from its "Recommended" list. When a car gets bumped from the magazine's coveted ranks, it's usually cause for concern. This is not one of those times.
2014 Honda Fit
Mugen works up 2014 Honda Fit
It turns out the Mugen really is fast. Just yesterday we got our first official look at the JDM version of the all new Honda Fit. In both Hybrid and minty-fresh RS trim, the Japanese Fit is more complexly surfaced and angular than in any of the previous generations. Mugen has apparently been working with the new Fit body for a while, as the tuning house has just released some images and information about parts for the new hatchback.
Honda Fit Mugen busted in brochure scans?
Japanese magazine scans helped give us an early look at the next-gen Honda Fit before it officially broke cover last month, and now the same tactic may have just given us our first glimpse at the Mugen-tuned version of this budget hatchback. This scanned image, which looks to be legit, shows two variations of the Fit/Jazz Mugen, the S and RS.
Are you the 2014 Honda Fit?
Despite being the oldest model in North America's subcompact sweepstakes, the current Honda Fit remains a paragon in its segment, offering unparalleled packaging, good road manners and robust reliability. In fact, even with far more modern competitors like the Chevrolet Sonic, Ford Fiesta, Hyundai Accent and Nissan Versa Note on the scene, it may well still be the best of the bunch.

Honda CEO expects Fit sales to increase fourfold to 200,000
Automotive News reports Honda expects the popularity of its Fit subcompact to grow significantly over the next four years. President Takanobu Ito says he expects the model and its variations to sell around 200,000 units per year in North America by 2016. That's up from 64,177 units in 2011. The goal is part of a larger strategy to step up sales on this continent by 18 percent, and from the sounds of things, Ito expects the Fit to lead that charge. The tiny hatchback is slated for a redesign next
Honda CEO confirms return of Civic Type R, announces new Fit-based CUV and super sports bike
With a goal of earning 39 million global customers across its power equipment, automobile and motorcycle line of products by 2017, Honda CEO Takanobu Ito announced a handful of exciting new models for the latter two that range from high performance to fuel efficient. While the U.S. news was essentially limited to the confirmation that the Acura RLX will be debuting in production form at the 2012 L.A. Auto Show, Honda fans in Europe have a lot more to look forward to.
Honda may build CUV based on next Fit
While some automakers are streamlining platforms and models globally, Honda is going the other way, with more locally developed variants of models. There is a new Honda Fit on the way for the 2013-2014 timeframe, says Automotive News, and Honda is reportedly hoping the platform will sell more than one million vehicles. Honda thinks the way to hit that volume is by basing a new crossover vehicle off the next-generation Fit.
Honda announces Fit production moving to Mexico
The strength of the Yen is forcing many Japanese automakers to consider building cars for export markets outside their home country. Honda is no different, and has confirmed that it will build the Fit hatchback at its new plant in Mexico starting in the spring of 2014.

Music and food: do they go together for you?November 23rd, 2008
I'm making a pizza (not the one pictured, although DON'T I WISH!), and I don't have any music playing. This is most unusual. As I wander over to the laptop to remedy this situation, I thought I'd ask those of you who are music lovers and foodies: do you always have music playing while you cook, sometimes, never, or what? How does your music enjoyment interact with and overlap with your food enjoyment?

This match report for Flora' debut in the European campaign it's the debut of Barry Ross Linton, commonly known as 'Baz'. Baz is a graphic designer (you can find his works and portfolio here at 'Barry Linton Design'). From London, he is a big football passionate and a great fan of West Ham United. Baz is a proud member and player of Rumori Calcio having debuted in an official game of Estonian football last weekend (Estonian Cup 1/64) .
All the pictures in this article are by Janek Eslon from FC Flora Facebook page.
- Flora secure the 4th win of their European campaigns since 1994-95
- The last win dated back to 1998 when Flora won 3-1 against Steaua Bucharest
- The return game in one week in Skopje Filip II national stadium
by Barry Linton, Tallinn
The sun was shining, the cheerleaders were busting their moves, the Flora fans were loud and fierce in their tone. In the meantime was hot, flustered and still trying to log on to wi-fi. I gained my composure as I found myself looking down from the unfamiliar view of the press box and if I was completely honest, I was craving a cold beer.
From my understanding, both teams have a great tradition of developing their young players from their academies, with an ethos of playing the ball on the ground. (reminds me of my beloved West Ham United in the 90's). Flora and Europe historically do not sit too well but, I like a good underdog story and I was hoping to witness a new beginning here at the A.LeCoq Arena for my debut report.
I was looking forward to this.
Flora set themselves up in 4-1-4-1 formation with Rabontnicki lining up 4-3-3.
The first half gave the crowd very little to work with, it was a tight affair. Toom was the first of the keepers to be forced into a save on 8 mins after an Altiparmakovski and Mitrov combination. It took Flora until 13 mins to retaliate with an effort. Jürgenson won Flora free kick, only for Sappinen to miss the target from a Frolov delivery.
Pressure followed from Rabotnicki but the Flora defense stood their ground.
A flurry fowls of and free kicks lead to the first Yellow being shown to Trajcevski of Rabotnicki. The midfield play was becoming choppy, but you could see the intent was there from both teams to play short, sharp passing.
Flora conceded an unassuming free kick 40 yards from their goal only for Ilievski to power his effort wide of the left post.
The home team enjoyed some success down the left-hand side but at half time only a blade of grass was separating these two teams after a credible first 45mins.
The 2nd half saw Rabotnicki showing the initiative by bringing on Anene for Mitrov to start. Something needed to change. On 50 minutes, a free kick from Vujcic resulted in a comfortable palm away from Toom to concede a corner. Rabotnicki were just starting to have their say on the game, they were about to turn the screw.
On 53 minutes, Flora brought on the lively Beglarishvili for Sappinen to add some fresh spark to the midfield.
A long-range strike from Frolov drew a comfortable save from Efremov.
On 59 minutes, Flora attacked with a fast break down the right from Kams delivering a peach of a cross straight onto the head of Gussev catching the Rabotnicki defense flat-footed. This was a text book, well-worked goal from Flora. It was game on from here. Flora could smell blood and were going for the kill.
The home team stepped up their game, spurred on by their fans who had somehow raised their volume another decibel.
Rabotnicki were shaken.
There was now a pace and intensity to Flora's game that had been lacking until know. Alliku was a bright spark during this spell and lead by example, coming close twice in a 5-minute onslaught that would have made uncomfortable viewing for the Rabotnicki bench and their loyal fans.
Another change from visitors bringing Markoski at the expense of Sahiti.
A nice through ball on 66 mins from Beglarishvili to Logua was blocked and at this point of the game you could only see one team going to win this.
Flora fouled to capitalize with a 2nd goal during in this strong period of the game and Rabotnicki started to regain their composure again.
Further subs followed with Jovanovski coming in Trajcevski making way for Rabotnicki. Flora responded with Tamm supplying fresh legs at the expense of Logua, who had put in a solid shift for the team.
A Rabotnicki free kick on 73 minutes created a penalty box scramble and Alliku took one for team, going down after a foul from Ilijoski. This bought some valuable minutes was an opportunity to Flora to re-organize.
The last 15 mins Flora found themselves pushed back and feeling the pressure. Rabotnicki could sense the anxiety that was starting to creep into the Flora team. Rabotnicki grew in confidence and were getting closer to an equalizer.
A well-timed substitution on 80 mins from the Flora bench broke the play and pressure from Rabotnicki as Luigend was on for Šlein.
There was one last driving run from Alliku only for the cross to get caught after the feet of Tamm.
3 successive corners for Rabotnicki from the 85th minute required some last minute concentration from an otherwise well organised, solid looking Flora defense.
2nd half substitute Anene was strong a powerful for Rabotnicki and he looked a handful towards the end of the game. Toom certainly had more to deal with in the last 15 minutes, but he was in control.
This was my first time watching Flora tonight and I think they look a tidy outfit, I like them. It was a good all-round, solid team performance. From my report it's clear which player caught my eye, Alliku was my MOTM. Fast, direct and always a threat.
Both teams applied themselves well, but I would say the score line was an honest reflection of the game. I saw no evidence of history repeating itself tonight for Flora. If they maintain the some focus and commitment for the 2nd leg their fans will experience another night of European football at the A.Le Coq Arena in the not to distant future.
Thank you to Flora and Rabotnicki for an enjoyable night and good luck in the 2nd leg.
Next week we will have Deni Delev live commenting from Skopje!

Paris Live – 2015 Audi TT Roadster
I'm a true-blooded petrolhead. Hope you enjoy our news stories, launch coverages, motorshow coverages and test drive reports.
Even gets a lightweight roof that saves 3 kg of weight.
The open top versions of the new 2015 Audi TT world debut at the VW Group Night on the eve of the 2014 Paris Motor Show. Sales of the TT Roadster in Germany begin immediately, while the TTS Roadster will arrive on the market early next year.
Based on the new MQB platform, the TT Roadster and TTS Roadster come with a newly designed fabric roof with parts made from magnesium, aluminium, plastic and steel. The result is that the roof weighs only 39 kg, which is 3 kg lighter than the previous generation model's top. Audi will offer the roof of these Roadsters in three shades – Black, Titanium Gray and Jive.
The electric roof needs 10 seconds to open or close, and can be operated at speeds of up to 50 km/h.
Like the TT Coupe, the TT Roadster will be available with two four-cylinder engines – a petrol and a diesel. The 2.0-liter TFSI petrol makes 230 PS (226.7 bhp) and 370 Nm of torque, whereas the 2.0-liter TDI is good for 184 PS (181.4 bhp) and 380 Nm of torque.
The TTS Roadster gets a 2.0-liter TFSI making 310 PS (305.63 bhp) and 380 Nm of torque, thus accelerating the car from 0-100 km/h in a quicker 4.9 seconds before hitting an electronically locked speed of 250 km/h.
The regular TT Coupe is expected to launch in India next year.

BBQ and Summer Parties Dinner Party Ideas
A Mediterranean Inspired Party9:17 AMC Riches
The south of France has its advantages, mainly regarding food; which in my book is already a great start for any dinner party! Especially the al fresco ones where we get to enjoy the glorious weather and scenery ;)
But apart from the great food, the Mediterranean lifestyle oozes simplicity and charm, and therefore makes for a great dinner party theme this time of year!
A Mediterranean Party - The Tablescape & Decor
For this dinner party I was inspired by coastal Mediterranean regions and the sea. But I didn't want a heavily nautical theme, just touches of blue here and there...
It's a perfect party theme for a relaxed and casual summer party, where guests gather around a table full of amazing dishes, and where the food takes center stage. So we kept the table decor to a minimum, in true Mediterranean style!
A white tablecloth covered our rustic table and we scattered cushions on the seats for a cozier feel.
The tableware also carried the blue hues, and we included hand-dyed watercolor napkins (tutorial coming later in the week) and hand-painted flatware (tutorial also coming soon). It's a great way to up-cycle flea market finds and old fabrics!
For flowers, they're best kept to a minimum, so we placed some lavender branches and wild flowers from my garden into a vase - Simple, yet totally in-keeping with the party theme (not to mention free!)
Mediterranean Mezze Style Party Food
In true Med fashion, a table full of Mezze style dishes are what we served and what we love best! Everyone tucks in without ceremony, dishes are passed around, and the atmosphere is instantly less austere than a full-on three course meal!
For the Mediterranean Mezze spread we served: homemade tabbouleh with dried fruits and pomegranate seeds, platters of cured meats, olives, sun-dried tomatoes and fresh Mediterranean fruit and vegetables, as well as a delicious homemade chickpea hummus with smoked pimenton oil (recipe here), lots of toasted ciabatta and a super fresh yet satisfying feta, cucumber and red onion salad with a gorgeous Hidden Valley Ranch dressing (recipe below).
Recipe - Feta, Cucumber & Red Onion Salad with Ranch Dressing
Ingredients: Serves 4
* 1 bloc of feta cheese
* 1 small red onion
* 1/2 English cucumber
* 1 sachet of Hidden Valley Original Ranch Dip Mix
* Lambs lettuce for four
* 250 ml (8.5 fl oz) of creme fraîche
* chopped fresh dill for garnish
1) Place lamb's lettuce onto a large serving platter. Cut the cucumber into semi circles (keep skin on for crunch) and scatter on top of the lettuce.
2) Crumble the Feta cheese on top and scatter with thinly sliced red onions.
3) For the dressing: At the table or just before serving, mix one packet of Hidden Valley Original Ranch Dip Mix with the creme fraîche and mix to get a thick consistency. Add to the salad when serving and sprinkle with fresh dill on top.
The dressing tasted super yum and works great as a dip too, so we placed some into a bowl and everyone loved dipping their toasted ciabattas and veggies in it! ;)

At Infinite Wellness & Rejuvenation, we have several massage therapists who are highly skilled at several different types of massage, from relaxing Swedish massage to therapeutic neuromuscular and myofascial therapy. Therapeutic neuromuscular massage typically involves pressure applied with fingers, knuckles and elbows. Muscles that are in spasm are painful to the touch. After the muscle is relaxed through massage therapy, lactic acid may be released from the muscle, and the muscle will be receiving more blood and oxygen and heal more readily. Our therapists work in conjunction with our physicians for the best possible client care.
Currently we have four massage therapists licensed by the South Carolina Dept of Labor, Licensing and Regulation – Massage and Bodywork Therapy Board: Lea Mason license #7431, Christy Duffen #8196, Jessica Waddell #8188, and Sara Wingler #9192. All have passed the National Certification Examination are extremely competent therapists.
Also known as Swedish Massage, a style of manual therapy consisting of long, light stroking massage to warm up the muscles. Effleurage is a gliding or sliding stroke, petrissage means compression and kneading of the muscle, tapotement involves percussion, rhythmic tapping or beating the muscles, vibration can be mechanically assisted, and friction massage is rubbing perpendicular across the muscle fibers.
Also known as trigger point myotherapy or myofascial release, is a style of sports massage where sustained pressure is applied to tender trigger points to decrease muscle spasm and help biomechanical dysfunction. This is effective for the treatment of soft tissue injuries and chronic pain. Rolfing is another type of deep tissue massage that may not be very comfortable during the procedure but can be effective for long term relief. Trigger point myotherapy is recognized by the American Academy of Pain Management as an effective treatment for back pain caused by soft tissue injury such as muscle strain. Often this therapy is paid for by major medical insurance.

After battling a rare cancer called paraganglioma for nearly five years, 15-year-old Karinya Chen just wanted to live a normal life like any other teenager. So when one of her favorite indie rock bands, Florence + The Machine, came to perform in Austin, she and her BFF excitedly got tickets for the show.
But when it became clear that her health was rapidly declining, her doctors, nurses and family members had to make the difficult decision to tell Karinya she was too sick to go. Nurse practitioner Christie Kremer wrote of the incident on Hospice Austin's Christopher House's Facebook page:
"We have a patient who held long cherished tickets to see Florence and The Machine last night with her BFF. All week through set back after set back she asked if she would be able to go. We tried to entertain the idea and it felt so scary and overwhelming for the medical staff and her mother that finally I said no, and my heart broke again."
But through a miraculously swift chain of events, the staff of Christopher House and Hospice Austin were able to reach out to Florence who made a surprise visit to her biggest fan. In a room surrounded by Karinya's high school friends, family and medical staff, Florence Welch and guitarist Rob Ackroyd arrived ready to sing at Karinya's bedside.
They sang two duets together, held hands and hugged each other. As Karinya harmonized with the Grammy-winning singer and her friends sang backup, Florence seemed genuinely impressed. And there wasn't a dry eye in the room.
What a wonderful and caring gift this performer gave to one of her biggest fans. Sadly, Karinya passed away four months after Florence's heartwarming bedside performance. But the joy she seemed to experience that day will live on in the hearts of her loved ones forever.

She Was Overjoyed By The Surprise Bedside Performance

Barb said the business overcharged her without her approval. The vehicle turned out worse than when she came in.

MS Wilson brought her vehicle to us with a complaint of failing Washington State Emission Test, running pooly and stalling. I explained honestly, it would be impossible to give her an estimate of repair simply because of the nature of her issues and the age of the vehicle. I explained the WA. State Waiver requirements and told her the best case scenario would be $180 - $200. I explained, we charge $119.65 for Emissions Diagnostic Analysis and the waiver requirement require the customer spend a minimum of $150 of qualified expenses in the area the vehicle failed in, in an attempt to improve emissions. Also we would call her with an estimate of repair. We spent several hours chasing the cause of her issues because as it turned out the Fuel Injection wiring harness had a short in it. During the diagnostic process we found a very, very dirty air filter, a restricted PCV Valve and a severly restricted fuel filter. We attempted to call MS Wilson twice and there was no answer. We had several other vehicles waiting and we needed the stall space for our other customers. I decided that it would be foolish to re-install the filters and pcv. I authorized the technician to install new ones. When MS Wilson came in to get her car, I explained what we did and offered to show her the worn out filters we replaced, she declined and had no problems with what we did at that time. She said that what we did was OK and she understood. Her "Best Case" estimate was $180-$200, Her invoice total came to $246. We always prefer to keep the customer advised and participating in our repai process, but when the do not answer the phone or respond to messages with return calls, I will always error on the side of safety. The basic maintenance of MS Wilson's van had been ignored for years. For MS Wilson to look me in the eye and tell me what we did was ok and she understood, then to turn around and give us a poor review doens't speak to well for her character! Dissapointing for sure!

Mark said he was very upset about this visit because the owner was very rude and would not answer his questions. He said the owner told him to step out of the office at one point. He said he ended up sitting in his vehicle for over 20 minutes waiting for someone to help him. He said he will never use this business again.

Mr Higgins called us because his truck would not start after he stopped at a gas station. He stated had a very important appointment that he absolutely had to get to, then he got upset because we wouldn't come to the gas station, 3 miles away and work on his truck. We provided him a phone # for a local tow company and he had his truck towed to our shop and the tow truck unloaded the vehicle inside our shop! Even though we were very busy, we got him to his vehicle right away and diagnosed his issue as a bad starter. All the while Mr Higgins insisted on assisting the technician working on his truck. Several times I had to advise Mr Higgins, our insurance doesn't allow customers to help or wonder about our shop unsupervised, yet he kept looking in tool boxes, looking into other vehicles and asking the technicians questions. He was never asked to "step out of the office", he was asked to stay out of the garage working area. We advised him and gave him an estimate. Then he was upset that we wouldn't make a special trip to Portland, get his starter and not charge him for the 40 mile round trip. At no time did Mr Higgins wait 20 minutes for service, the only waiting Mr Higgins did was for the starter to be delivered and during that time his friend picked him up, he returned after the truck was finished and ready to be delivered. Now, after reading his review I am saddened that I took him in right away in front of several regular and excellent customers. Far too many people in this country feel their situation is absolutely the most important and trumps all others. I long for the day when the citizens of this country actually cared for one another!

"$2000 brake job and radiator exchange"
I know that you do estimates right out of the "book" but I also know parts for this job are $500 so $1500 labor is out of line. I have always trusted and recommended Bob's but no more.

Mrs Woodhouse brought their Ford F350 4X4 to us and ask us to look at the heater and to look it over for a trip to Utah, We did and gave them a legitimate estimate, i even suggested to Mrs Woodhouse the vehicle may not be worth the repair, given the 200,000 miles and overall condition. The truck was not safe to drive and this I told Mrs Woodhouse as well. Everything to do with brakes on all 4 wheels should be replaced, the rear wheel cylinders are leaking, the shoes are worn to metal ruining the brake drums, the front brakes have been seriously overheated damaging the brake caliper movement, overheating the brake rotors causing both to have cracks completly through the outer surface! Being a 1996 4X4 the process for relacing the rotors is very involved and because they haul horses regularly, we will not sacrifice their's or the public's safety for a small cost savings on inferior, low quality parts or service. Additionally we found the radiator leaking, the thermostat is not working properly, should be replaced and the cooling system needs to be flushed. Mrs Woodhouse also requested an oil change & lube. Throw in nearly $200 sales tax, the estimate of repairs was and still is legitimate. Note we didn't start any repairs and try to force a sale, we kept the customers best interest in mind through the whole process, for Mr Woodhouse to be upset with us is grossly unfair, a lack of maintenance, concern and attention for his vehicle on his part in no way should be construed into us attempting to rip him off. Vehicles are merely machines and proper care and maintenance is required of the owner, neglect IS COSTLY. I'm sure Mr Woodhouse is upset that his vehicle is in the condition it is, and that it is going to be costly, but that is not the fault of Bob's Automotive Inc. We performed exactly as requested and reported our findings. I am positive Mr Woodhouse can find someone to use low quality and used parts to piece his truck together. Sometimes people are their own worst enemy, not us! By the way the estimate read $875 parts and $890 labor + sales tax. For God Country and All Veterans, Sinceley, Bob Ford
