"not much"
About: Russells Hall Hospital Russells Hall Hospital Dudley DY1 2HQ
Posted via NHS Choices (as ),
What I liked
not much
What could be improved
I was a patient on ward B1. Scheduled for surgery on 21 may 2010 and was told to come on the ward between 7.00 and 7.30 am. when I arrived I was taken to the day room as there wasn't a bed ready for me, they were just discharging patients and one would be available soon. 3 hours later I was still waiting. At 10.20 I was called down for surgery even though I still hadn't got a bed, I had to get changed in the toilet!! After surgery a bed had finally been found. I would like to say things improved after that I would like to say that my after care from the nurses was excellent but it wasn't. I hardly every saw any nursing staff when I did they seemed very uncaring. If I called for a nurse using the nurse call system it wasn't answered for 20 minutes sometimes longer. On the day of my discharge I had to wait nearly 4 hours for my tablets before I could leave, I asked a nurse 3 times how long it would be till I could leave her response was "Oh, your one of those kind of patients"
Anything else?
The most disgusting part of my stay was a men's urine bottle full of urine left in the toilet sink for over 10 hours!! 5 times I told the staff about it. It was the night nurse who finally moved it.
And the food was totally disgusting, please do something about that for everyones sake.
Response from Russells Hall Hospital 7 years ago
Thank you for the feedback on your time in hospital with us. Your comments have been passed back to the matron and lead nurse for B1 to address.
The department has a high turnover of patients. As a result we do ask patients to come into hospital in the morning for their surgery, however they may wait in the dayroom surgery, taken to theatre and then be brought back on to the ward to a bed space. This is so we can maximise our beds to full potential without rescheduling the patients surgery date. Generally beds are not available at 7.00am but do become available mid morning.
With regards to the urine bottle on the ward, we can assure you that all staff adhere to infection control policies and regular audits that have previously been carried out on ward B1 have been very good.
The staff on B1 are exceptionally caring and have excellent attitudes towards patients, however if you do have the name of any staff member(s) in particular who you feel were not acting in the appropriate manner, both the matron and lead nurse are more than happy to investigate this.
To contact matron or the lead nurse, please call 01384 456111 and be put through to B1.

I have recently been called as a stake auditor. The stake clerk has input my calling into MLS, and I have the LUFAS link in my tools drop down. When I sign in I get a Message "User has no valid assignments for this application" followed by a Log-out link.
Does this mean I'm not getting logged on properly,... or that the Wards I am assigned to audit are not "assigned" yet?
I have an appointment for my first Audit this Sunday, but don't know if I can get access to the system to actually do it. I was told that i should be able to log in from any computer to the LUFAS.
Any help is appreciated.

Re: New Stake Auditor, LUFAS Access Help
It will be necessary to ensure that the calling has been entered in the Stake MLS as a Standard Calling. If this was done this last Sunday, it might take a couple of days to become 'live'. Or it might be necessary to remove and re-enter the calling, as I've known this not to happen at the first attempt. I'm of course assuming a send/receive has been carried out as well.
Re: New Stake Auditor, LUFAS Access Help
Once your position has been properly entered into Stake MLS using the Stake Auditor standard position, and an MLS send/receive has been performed, CDOL (Church Directory of Organizations and Leaders) will be updated. The stake clerk can verify that you have been set up properly by checking CDOL. If you have been set up using a Standard Position then under the Auditing Organization your name will appear in black. If its was set up as a custom position, your name will appear in orange. (Custom positions are not recognized by LUFAS.)
Every evening LUFAS updates its users by reading CDOL, so depending upon when you CDOL was updated you may need to wait 24 hours for the change to appear in LUFAS.

I am curious to know what some Micechatter's conception/ideas would be for a new Peoplemover? Do you think the "retro" cars should return, should they cover the track, should they have new futuristic looking cars? Your thoughts?

Re: Your idea for a new peoplemover
I think that the "LOOK" of the cars is key. They have to look cool and futuristic. Some have argued that they have to go fast. I love fast rides, but since I don't believe that the track will accommodate a faster trip. A faster ride would also mean a shorter one. I think a slow ride would go over fine also be popular, as long as it really looked cool and maybe had some gadgets to play with inside. I think that giving the rider some control over the speed at points would also be popular. I know that the ride would still have to keep moving, but I think that having it speed up or slow down in sections would add something to the ride.
The reason I think a good look is key is everyone loves driving in a new, shinny ride, even if you are just sitting in traffic...Jiminy Cricket Fan

Re: Your idea for a new peoplemover
I think covering the track somewhat with see-through glass with a neon edge would look awesome. The cars can be a nice white with some lighting to show through the glass at night and it would look really cool in general.
Of course the ride should be the standard leisurely paced narrated tour of Tomorrowland. "Speeding up and slowing down in sections" is way too Rocket Rods-esque to work. It would just put the same old stess on the track, which was made for a slow ride.
I would also reroute the track a bit. I think it's awfully redundant in some parts around Autopia. A simple single curve over the Autopia would serve fine.
Re: Your idea for a new peoplemover
I suggest a slow ride around Tomorrowland with peek throughs to the amazing rides and shops of the land. Of course this would require adding some amazing rides and shops. Then, the cars would enter a building and attach to a centrafuge simulator like Mission:Space and launch you to a fully built out Mars base in a new show building. While on the Mars base you'd get a great view of the promise of the future, then return in second centrafuge simulator. This seemless high speed trip to mars and back, combined with the real views of the tomorrowland rides and shops, coupled with some scenes of animatronic characters doing futuristic things should make quite a ride.
In a nod to the amazing future, the cars could even have OLED view screens that advertised future products as you passed the stores in a way that seemed like sci-fi, only the products and the store would be real. Much like the amazing "One of a kind" antique shop in New Orleans Square searches the world for amazing antiques, the Star Trader wouldn't sell plush toys, but products gleened from the cutting edge of technology from around the world, because, as you know, all the countries of the world work together in this future. Walt said so!
And one final note, all the CMs would be slender again because this is the future as Walt saw it... and the radio disney stall would return to selling Space Mist!
Re: Your idea for a new peoplemover
I liked the look of the old cars. You have to examine them to notice all the lines on the car bodies and yes, even the roof. The cars did have edging on the side like you see on today's cars (they were designed by Bob Gurr who used to do designs prior to becoming an imagineer). Some people on other threads and other discussion boards keep saying to make them look like those egg-pod things from the Incredibles, but that won't work because they would have to alter all the tunnels to make them fit. I liked the old design. They would still match the Tomorrowland architecture. Make them too sleek and they'll make the buildings look even more old fashioned. I liked the second paint job more than the original, though I think they should use the metallic paint on the People Mover. Using LIMs would make it a little more futuristic than the old spinning tires. As for covering the track, It would probably be better not to have a covered track because the old cars had safety bars installed to keep the people in. In case you don't know, 2 people died on the People Mover. One died when he tried to reach for his girlfriend's purse and fell out. The other had a teenager jumping from car to car. He missed and fell on the track and was crushed. I think both were crushed. I don't know if TTA in Florida has ever had any deaths, but with how careless people are today, it would be better to take the safety precautions. Besides, building a canopy to cover the entire track would take up more of the precious budget.
One thing I wish they could do is enclose Starcade's 2nd floor and make an adjustment to the track to recreate a little of Space Mountain. It would be exciting for kids and it would hearken back to the old and Tron versions of the Superspeed Tunnel for us adults.

But I guess the question is, are we shooting for a retro-Tomorrowland that harkens back to the '70s, or are we still envisioning a state-of-the-art land of the future? And I mean our future, not 'the future that never was' with that '98 crap, just so no one gets confused.

Re: Your idea for a new peoplemover
If I built my own version of the people mover, I would build a few set buildings that it can go through. And in those set buildings will be stages, with AA's, of Disney's Yesterland attractions.
(Ex/ on stage room would be in tribute to Adventures Thru Inner Space, The next stage room would be a tribute to the Country Bears, etc.)
The way I see it.....If a ride is no longer around and pieces and AA's from that ride are still around and unused, why not put them back to use again rather that letting them collect dust in storage?

The buildings still show their '67 architecture. It's not very likely they'd bulldoze the entire complex since there's too much invested in it. There would be more to lose this time around because of Buzz being new, the buildings hugging Space Mountain on the sides, the land's main shop and two large fast food restaraunts would all be lost. We'll probably be stuck with the same architecture until those buildings become too unsound to use anymore or an earthquake levels them (and the rest of the place). "The future that never was" '98 crap was a bad idea. The place looked rusted over (and who's bright idea was it to expose us to warm colors in the CA sun?) and Autopia's grandstand still has the old color scheme. The metallic colors are really moving toward that '60s/'70s retro future. They should really move TL toward the sci-fi future Hong Kong has. '60s/'70s retro future could work because the of the existing architecture and those two decades had some of the most memorable sci-fi series and movies to date (like Star Wars, Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, etc). The best way to liken "too sleek" is to think of Star Wars. The original trilogy was great. When the special edition was released in the '90s, you could tell what was added digitally, but it was tolerable (except to the most diehard of fans). The DVD release is altered a little more. Then look at the prequel trilogy. You have all these sleek spacecraft that make it seem like aerodynamics took a backstep in the years between ep 3 and ep 4. It's not 100% between the two trilogies. Something needs to occupy the space above TL, but its look should be consistent with the rest of the land.
Re: Your idea for a new peoplemover
I don't think that it would be too difficult to change the looks of the buildings. The overall interior space would have to stay the same to accomodate the rides and such, but the exterior facade could be changed to something more futuristic. I'd like to se the PM rerouted at the front of TL away from the center, like to the faces of the surrounding buildings, similar to Minority Report or other such films. That would open up the middle walkway for something else. What about placing a glass roof over the entrance to TL that spans between Buzz and Star Tours? It could be sleek and futuristic, and harkens back to Walt's original EPCOT idea of an enclosed city.
Just some thoughts...

Re: Your idea for a new peoplemover
The PeopleMover definitely needs a bit of a speed up. The areas outside, especially the beginning straightaway should feel very whipsy. Sort of like sitting on the edge seat and kind of leaning out on the trams. The PeopleMover was supposed to be a display of transportation. It needs to feel more like you are going someplace and you are going there. Being presented as casual stroll through Tomorrowland is not transportation.
The interior tracks should be slowed down to the old slower speed. This would allow for looking at attractions and some decorations that would make the tunnels a bit more than just being a tunnel.

Re: Your idea for a new peoplemover
One change I'd make is have at least two stations, maybe three.
That way, the whole point of the ride - a way to move people a relatively short distance - would be fulfilled. You could actually utilize the peoplemover as a way to navigate through and around Tomorrowland and avoid crowds as well as rest your feets.
I'd put one station at the hub entrance, one by the monorail station and one at Space Mountain."Say, uh, ever hear of the devil's paint pots? Real mystery of the desert. Bubblin' pots of mud in all kinds of colors."

Re: Your idea for a new peoplemover
Anything that doesn't require CM's to operate it cause there are none to spare.
Oh and something of interest because Tommorrowland is rather bland .... I should be shutting up now."Lies make baby Jesus cry!"
Re: Your idea for a new peoplemover
The four main things I would like to see in the Peoplemover are...
1. Use the WDW motive system.
2. Bring back the Tron Speed Tunnel.
3. Cars, well, anything that looks in theme for Tomorrowland and will hold at least 4 people per car (like the old cars)
4. At least as long a ride (maybe longer) to give a nice relaxing break.
What is, is... What is not, is not.
I don't ask for much... Just a few little things!
Extra effort yields extraordinary results!

1.11.2 Advanced Topic: Finding and Manipulating Files
Although the details of how files are named and organized differ from one computer system to another, Mathematica provides some fairly general mechanisms for finding and handling files. Mathematica assumes that files on your computer system are organized in a collection of directories. At any point, you have a current working directory. You can always refer to files in this directory just by giving their names.
Functions for finding and manipulating files.
In[1]:= Directory[ ]
Out[1]= /users/sw
In[2]:= SetDirectory["Examples"]
Out[2]= /users/sw/Examples
In[3]:= FileNames["Test*.m"]
Out[3]= {Test1.m, Test2.m, TestFinal.m}
Although you usually want to create files only in your current working directory, you often need to read in files from other directories. As a result, when you ask Mathematica to read in a file with a particular name, Mathematica automatically searches a list of directories (specified by the value of the search path variable $Path) to try and find a file with that name. One issue in handling files in Mathematica is that the form of file and directory names varies between computer systems. This means for example that names of files which contain standard Mathematica packages may be quite different on different systems. Through a sequence of conventions, it is however possible to read in a standard Mathematica package with the same command on all systems. The way this works is that each package defines a so-called Mathematica context, of the form name`name`. On each system, all files are named in correspondence with the contexts they define. Then when you use the command <<name`name`Mathematica automatically translates the context name into the file name appropriate for your particular computer system.
Searching for text in files.

This app is only available on the App Store for iOS devices.
ASlicer is a flexible granular synthesis based audio manipulation tool for creating truly out there sound compositions. Part sampler, part sequencer, part remix tool, the app lets your imagination run wild and transforms sound slices into new and exciting sonic shapes.
The app records to a sound buffer through the internal microphone (or AudioBus), from an audio file or both simultaneously. During the recording process the application detects hit points, which after the recording process has completed it uses to assign a series of slices to each of the apps 16 Tiles. Slice assignment can be changed manually afterwards if so desired. Each of the sixteen tiles is a playback machine in its own right with it's own set of assignable playback parameters and Fx settings, which can be mixed and adjusted within each of the Tiles "Pad" mode. Patterns of tiles can be recorded and played back using the tile sequencer panel.
The Tech
Playback slices, forward and reverse at different speeds
Extreme pitch shifting independent of playback speed
Window Adjustment, grainy!
Modulated Feedback Delay for generating some truly wild sounds
Filter and BitCrush Effects
Multiple playback modes for each tile offering versatile creative possibilities.
Pattern sequencer with 8 preset banks
Fx Preset Save and Recall
Project Save and Recall
Audio Export With In App Purchase
Share recorded tracks with Soundcloud With In App Purchase
AudioBus Support Input and Output

I decided to start a new topic rather than add to my post with the Guardian review of the exhibition.
We drove down to Den Bosch this morning, and had and easy run with no traffic. We parked in the Wolvenhoek car park, around the corner from the museum. It was quite full but we found a spot. We allowed plenty of time for finding a parking space.
We had timed entry tickets for 12-13.00 and arrived at the museum at about 11.50. Our tickets were scanned at security post in the courtyard (not much security really, but you couldn't go any further without showing a ticket). Inside you could leave coats and big bags, visit the restaurant or coffee stop, and collect your pre-booked audio tour. For some reason DH had only booked one, and we couldn't buy an extra one. I gave up trying to share it with him, but I think you get a lot more insight into the paintings with it than with just the small, free booklet you can also pick up on the way in. There is also an introductory film you can watch before entering the exhibition. You can do all of that regardless of your timed entry, but cannot go in to the exhibition until you are within your time slot.
There was a short queue waiting for the 12.00 slot to open, and it opened on time. One downside to getting there at the start of the slot, rather than joining it maybe half an hour later is that everyone makes a bee line for the Haywain, making it hard to appreciate it. We continued with the exhibition and went back to it after a while. It was still popular of course but it was then at least possible to see it.
The exhibition is split into sections - The Pilgrimage of Life, which includes the Haywain, Bosch in 's Hertogenbosch, which has various documents and artefacts relating to his life, as well as paintings by contemporaries, and himself.
The Life of Christ is the next section, including Ecce Homo, and the copy of Earthly Delights.
My favourite section was Bosch as Draughtsman, with 19 sheets of his drawings, one never seen before in public. Astounding pen and ink drawings.
Saints includes the newly attributed Kansas St Anthony, and many freshly restored Venice saints.
The End Times is the most disturbing section, with his Visions of the Hereafter.
There are a few video panels which show paintings in more detail, or compare Bosch and his pupil's paintings in each section too.
The Prado has hung on to the Garden of Earthly delights, and also to their version of the Temptation of St. Anthony. Although the latter is listed in the book there is just a notice on the wall saying withdrawn. No doubt they will be included in the exhibition when it moves to Madrid. Would they have added to this exhibition? Undoubtedly, but there is enough to see and enjoy without them.
It is a small museum, and while we were there at least apart from the initial scrum by the Haywain it never felt crowded, you could get close to the paintings, enjoy them, examine them at ease, move on, come back to ones you enjoy.
We were in there for just over 90 minutes, which is what the museum suggests a visit will take. Absolutely worth the money and the time.
There is a small Bosch shop, and the normal museum shop too and there is a catalogue for sale for €24.95.
We had lunch in the museum restaurant, which was pleasant enough. We resisted having a Bossche Bol, though it was hard to do so. We had planned on having a walk around the city, but DH got a phone call from work, some sort of emergency, so we had to head home so he could go online and help them out.
So that was it. A quick trip to Den Bosch and a step back 500 years into the world, and mind of Jeroen Bosch.
I hope those of you going enjoy it as much as we did.

Thanks for this, heti. Can't wait to see it. As of yesterday we finally have all our flights, hotels, and other reservations made. And I am studying Dutch. Really looking forward to being back in the Netherlands and Belgium again!

Thanks for the preview Heti. I find it interesting that the Prado withheld The Garden of Earthly Delights but is accepting everyone else's loaned pieces for their exhibit later on. I'm certain there's a story there somewhere.
We are also looking forward to our visit and viewing of these masterpieces--and the town looks interesting as well.

We went to the Met Museum in NYC yesterday and they had the tiniest exhibition about Van Eyck. But I did not realize Bosch owed him such a debt of creative gratitude.

We had to postpone our trip to the Cherry Blossom festival in Macon because the trees weren't in full bloom. Still, the weather was warm and we didn't want to waste a lovely afternoon, so we headed up to 41 towards Cartersville. After a delicious lunch at the Fruit Jar Cafe, we headed over to Dillinger Park in Cartersville. It was perfect weather to get out and feed the ducks and the geese (and the giant catfish)!

When Bill O'Reilly can blame "black culture" for the persistence of racial disparities in the US, and Bill Maher can blame "Islamic culture" for the violence of the Middle-East, our cultural anthropologist ears should perk up. We might spend a lot of time in our journals, upper-level classrooms, and conference halls debating the merits of the concept of culture, but, as a discipline founded on its application, we are responsible for cultivating its use in wider discourse and for combatting its misuse for socially and morally detestable ends.
The problem is that, by appealing to culture to account for the problems they see, the Bills and others believe that they have escaped the charge of racism. "Obviously, it isn't skin color that causes people to behave badly," they can argue, "it's culture. And if you suggest that there are racial disparities or any other racially associated problems, then it is YOU who is being racist by perpetuating the belief in race (which is a myth), and thus keeping Black and Brown people from escaping the culture that keeps them from succeeding!" To their minds, culture is the perfect explanation because people can escape their culture – thus we see individuals who do not exhibit the problematic traits or behaviors – and because it can explain the problem of individual failures among their own racial group.
But it is still racism, even if thinly veiled. It is racism because these arguments are used to write off an entire group of people and justify the continuation of racist policies that keep those groups from having a reasonable chance at success. It's obviously racism, but these talking heads are able to get away with it by the circularity of their logic, and it's this same circularity that appeals to many middle-class white people who resent their diminishing position in the world and are looking for a way to reassert their authority without appearing overtly racist. Blame the culture, and the superiority of white culture will, once again, prevail.
This is why anthropologists must take a stand against the misuse of the culture concept. It isn't a new phenomenon – "Black culture" has been blamed for the failures of Black Americans since the days of slavery. In fact, anthropologists themselves have misused the concept of culture in the past to justify the exploitation of people of color around the world. But we hopefully know better now, and it is our responsibility to ensure that the concept of culture cannot be used to perpetuate racism, but only for anti-racist ends.
How do we do it? First, by reminding the public that culture is complex and heterogeneous. There is no culture that maps onto any national, racial, religious, or other ethnic community. There are always cultural differences among these groups, and it is these differences that matter more than the similarities. Second, by emphasizing that culture is only one factor among many many others – social, political, economic, environmental, and so on. Understanding why racial disparities and other circumstances exist requires a full examination of all of the potential causal factors. Culture may be one of them, but it cannot be the only one and is itself contingent on all of those other influences so that cultural change can never be a sufficient solution to these problems.
There are probably many other ways anthropologists can fight racism and the racist misuse of the culture concept. But these two are a good start, and I hope more anthropologists will take up the care for the culture concept once again, rather than simply relegating it to the dustbin of academic discourse.

Vitamin D is an extremely important vitamin that 2/3 of people have inadequate levels of. Vitamin D's structure is complex, which is why it plays several roles in health maintenance. It plays roles in calcium and magnesium absorption from the gut, bone strength and maintenance, fat release from adipose stores, immune strength, tooth integrity, and energy and vigor. Dr. Sue's Vitamin D is supplied as D3, which is the active form. After years of difficulty raising D levels to normal with an oral prescription, Dr. Sue found that liquid D works best. This supplement is taken sublingually, which absorbs more efficiently than taken by mouth. Additionally, high quality sublingual Vitamin D is extremely difficult to find on store shelves. Vitamin D deficiency is a common health problem, as most of us work indoors, wear sunscreen, and live in northern climates. Signs of deficiency include muscle cramps, achiness that can be severe, and tenderness in the sternum and front of legs. Despite its high incidence, deficiency is easily corrected through supplementation.

Now I have a new problem - cold. Not so much cold but cold and wind. The combination is beating me up. Despite the lack of winter running gear, I'm fighting to stay outside. Not so much because of my mental toughness, but out of a strenuous desire not to return to the treadmill.
Today was a great six mile run in the Canal Ponds Park. The temperature is 28 degrees F with winds of 10 mph. Not bad overall, but brutal when running in the open areas. I'm wearing all recycled gear (except for my new Saucony Ride 7's) that includes a long sleeve 1/4 zip polypro shirt, a tech shirt over that, then an old full zip up fleece (complete with burn holes from years of camping). On the bottom we have a pair of lycra pants (20+ years old) and wind pants. A pair of army surplus wool gloves, an old hat, and sunglasses.

Window Balance
A quick learner from San Antonio, Texas says:
May 2, 2016
I need 12 29" spiral balances. 3/8 diameter. With a clip attachment. I placed an order, which worked perfectly, the problem was the very end of the spiral was longer than my replacement part, so I was not able to fully close my window. I am returning the balances but still need 12 replacement balances.
Paul from SWISCO responded:
May 3, 2016
Sorry to hear you're having trouble. I am certain we can help. It looks like you need a special made balance. Specifically, our S900-29 with a 15-073 shoe. Can you just confirm the color tip you need, as well as the total quantity? Once I have that, I would be happy to send you a price quote and order form.

Despite being away on business, Frankie co-pilots this pre-Momma's Day Weekly Update. [url=/news/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=12442] click for full story [/url]
OMG I'm so excited, so many cool things, can't wait till the beta!!! Saw the guide its awesome ZOMG!!! I love you Bungie!!!
yeah but you had a small fraction of the people downloading at the same time compared to tomorrow. Bungie only has so many resources when it comes to servers and band with. The more people downloading, the slower it gets. I'm not trying to be an ass, I mean I hope it's a fast download. Haha this is going to drive me crazy!
[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] shanksterr I got to say I completely agree but why are they releasing is at 5 AM / 8AM EST?????? Why not midnight!? This download will be sooooooo slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww can you imagine after an hour only being at 7%.......900 MB!? It's going to be the hardest part. I can see it now....Come on 360! Go faster internet! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! Beautiful..... [/quote] my download took an hour, tops.
8:00am, huh? *Makes mental note to be online that time to perhaps score a win against uninitiated*
I got to say I completely agree but why are they releasing is at 5 AM / 8AM EST?????? Why not midnight!? This download will be sooooooo slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww can you imagine after an hour only being at 7%.......900 MB!? It's going to be the hardest part. I can see it now....Come on 360! Go faster internet! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! Beautiful.....
Dude only 20 hours 44 min and 30 sec until the beta, holy crap this is going to be the Achievement of my life..... that is until the game comes out. I think the Spartan Laser is awesome and so is the weildable chain gun, rocket launcher, equipment, and pretty much everything I havee seen so far. I hate that there is only going to be 3 maps but I can live with it. If you don't love HALO you should go kill yourself.
Yeah the chain gun is sweeeeet. It is tripod mounted then you get behind it to shoot (like turret), hit red button to pick it up and walk (really slow) and shoot!
OOOOH EEEMMMM GEEEE!!!!!!!!! lol. Cant wait, 1 more day! Then my head will explode from the amazingness of halo 3 beta. I saw this gun that looked like a chaingun or minigun. Wuz i just seeing things or is there really one???
tight i gotta a f and f invite h core i think im going to go download it thank you bungiee!!
all i can say is... sweet!!!!!!!!!! thanx bungie though i didnt get F&F it dont matter cuz i dont have a 360 or XBL!!!!!!! Oh well thats what rich friends are for :D
I would like to point out that I wish at least one thing Halo had in it's multiplayer action is to have a map going from day to night like from going from dusk to dawn. To see the sun setting as teams still battling it out going into the night. Looking at the lights from buildings or poles illuminate the night. Or seeing parts of the armour light up at night, then watching it all go straight into the day...awesome. The maps also need some disrubtion to break up tactics from teams like the Flood, or brutes just attacking each team messing up gameplay. Just need background enteraction that's all. Not so much for the Beta, but for when the actual game ships.
[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Toothpick omgcontentgorillawtf!@11![/quote] agreed! frankie did get kinda pwn'd with that. i think they need to swap them or something. luke should be content snake or something for taking frankie's job temporarily. haha. idk.
Beta achievments?
Sweet, I can't wait to play! Bungie.net and Halo 3.com still have different Beta start times. I'm so confused.
[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] birchinater so wait the missile pod if the turret can be taken off the wart hog then is there a missile hog like in the halo 1 for pc? [/quote] No, there is no warthog like that, not in the maps we play in the beta. The missile pod itself is just an entire separate gun, but is big like the turret. And the turret isn't taken off the warthog, btw, it's taken from a stationary area on the ground.
[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] shanksterr Uhhhhhgggggggg three more days..... Hey Bungie is the Beta starting as 12:00 AM or 5:00? What about us EST people?[/quote] It's 7 AM central time, so I'd bet it's 8 AM your time, lol
Uhhhhhgggggggg three more days..... Hey Bungie is the Beta starting as 12:00 AM or 5:00? What about us EST people?
Sparten lazer is so overpowered.
so i was at my friends last night who got a f&f invite and the beta is pretty amazing...awesome job bungie i cant wait till the whole thing this fall!
so wait the missile pod if the turret can be taken off the wart hog then is there a missile hog like in the halo 1 for pc?
HELL YES! Awsom screenshots! "IT is comming, and part of it's allready here!!!!!"
Oh well i got crackdown so i could play the beta, downloaded the new halo 2 maps and saw the new pics i can honestly say its been a Haloriffic Day. :)
I got in the rule three way, When should I expect my code, like 12am the day of or what?
And I still can't download the freaking maps. Thanks guys!
[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Ballers for Halo What the hell is a missile pod!?!? It must be extreme.[/quote] The missle pod is just a big gun that shoots little missles and is held the way the spartan holds the chaingun when he brings it to its portable state. They're pretty cool, but the only map that it's on in the Beta is Valhalla. BUNGIE I LOVE YOU THANKS FOR PICKING ME!! http://media.xbox360.ign.com/media/734/734817/img_4541228.html ^ ^ that's a picture of it on IGN if you want to have a little visualization [Edited on 05.12.2007 10:34 PM PDT]
I know quite a few people who are on the in with bungie, and none of them got a F & F invite. And with all the people speaking out about being disappointed for not getting the F & F invite. How many F & F invites were sent out because nobody I can find has gotten one. I was wondering if there is anybody out there willing to admit that they got a F & f invite. They don't need to say there code or anything. I just want to see somebody who got a F & F invite. Also Luke, Nice job covering for Frankie. I look forward to more of your posts. Also nice Mr. Chief but I am sorry to say it wasn't "Mr. Chief." You should creat your own foe-halo character. Maybe a spin on Cortana, Johnson, or The Arbitr. Oh well if you do we will have to compare your masterpieceses to the extreme talent of Frankie. Good Job : )

Longshot Dakota Light, at 25-to-1, was second with Puxa Saco, the 2-to-1 second betting choice, finishing third.
In an impressive gate to wire performance, Ivanavinalot won Saturday's $100,000 Brave Raj Stakes for 2-year-old fillies at Calder Race Course. She won the mile and 70 yards race by five lengths over Dakota Light in a stakes record equaling time of 1:45. Trained by Kathleen O'Connell, Ivanavinalot is now a winner of four races from five starts, including two stakes. The runaway winner of the second division of the Florida Stallion Stakes, the $125,000 Susan's Girl on Aug. 31, she will most likely be the heavy favorite for the $400,000 My Dear Girl Division on Oct. 12, Festival of the Sun day. Breeder/owner Gilbert Campbell confirmed that the rich finale to the Florida Stallion Stakes is the next target for his star filly."I really had no questions about her going a distance but you always worry about racing luck like what happened to her in the Desert Vixen (hit gate and bumped soundly, finished fourth)," said O'Connell. "I wasn't really concerned about where she was (early) in today's race as long has she had good position. The way it came up, she ended up on the lead. She drifted out a little in the stretch, but I think she's still just a little green."Jockey Manoel Cruz has ridden Ivanavinalot in each of her races. Coupled with stablemate Truly the Best, the entry went off at odds of 4-5. Ivanavinalot paid $3.60 for the win.

Guarana seed has been used by indigenous Amazon tribes for centuries to help to reduce mental fatigue, and to help increase concentration and alertness.
The Guarana plant, a member of the soapberry family, is a climbing shrub native to the Amazon Rainforest. It gets its name from a local word which means 'secret eyes' as the fruit, which is about the size of a hazelnut, contains a white aril and black seed giving the appearance of an eye.
It gains its energizing benefits from a number of actives that are found in the seed. These include caffeine, theophylline and theobromine. These stimulants are found in a complex named Guaranine that provides gentle stimulation over a period of several hours, without the peak and trough in energy that is associated with many sources of caffeine. The level of caffeine found in the recommended daily dose of GoGo Guaraná (two capsules) is less that that found in a single cup of coffee!
2 – 4 capsules per day half an hour before food or as recommended by your practitioner. 2 capsules may be taken half an hour before exercise if being used for fat burning/energy boosting for sports activities.
Pure Guarana (Paullinia cupana) seed powder 500mg. Capsule shell: Vegetable cellulose.

Swiss miner Xstrata is on schedule to launch its Koniambo nickel plant in the French Pacific territory of New Caledonia in mid-2012, completing the project within budget, press reports said Monday.
The project northeast of Australia is being undertaken in an area of New Caledonia's main island administered by the indigenous Kanak people, who have injected 167 million dollars via a company, SMSP.
Shaun Usmar, financial director of Xstrata-Nickel, praised the progress made so far on the plant, which will have a capacity of 60,000 tonnnes annually.
"It's on schedule. We expect to put the first ore into the furnace in mid-2012," he told the newspaper Nouvelles Caledoniennes.
He added that the project was two-thirds of the way to completion and had absorbed 2.2 billion dollars of its total 3.8 billion dollar price tag.
New Caledonia is home to vast quantities of nickel, an essential ingredient in making stainless steel, and the project is seen as part of a process of giving greater economic control to the indigenous people.
Separately, Usmar told AFP the project was crucial to the development of Xstrata, which had previously relied on acquiring existing projects for growth.
"During the (global financial) crisis (of 2008), nothing slowed down at Koniambo," he said.
"This will be the most profitable project in the world. Our cost of production should be between 2.3 and 2.5 dollars per pound of nickel.
"Up till now, Xstrata has grown through acquisitions. With Koniambo we will for the first time have organic growth and prove that we are able to deliver a project in accordance with the projected time scale and budget.
"This is very important for the group," he said.
Following the launch of the plant, the Kanak-owned company will receive 12 percent of dividends, with the proportion gradually rising as SMSP pays off a loan taken from Xstrata to provide its share of the finance.
After 25 years, SMSP will have a 51-percent controlling stake in the project.

Yesterday 12th May 2015, Nairobi residents took practically the whole night to get home from work due to flooding caused by heavy rains.
There are several factors that contribute to flooding such as below.
1. design and maintenance of storm water drainage infrastructure.
Design and maintenance of storm water drainage infrastructure is the responsibility of Nairobi County Government. The Civil Engineering department at Nairobi County usually comes up with designs and maintenance solutions. Nairobi storm water and sewer drainage has a national grid, similar to the electricity grid, that drains towards Ruai area. All parts of the city and its suburbs are supposed to have their drainage designed to fit into the national grid for storm water to drain towards Ruai. For large land subdivisions in Nairobi, the County Government requires the developer to submit the storm water designs to County Engineers for approval to check if the design fits well. When this checking method fails, we have developers designing and directing their storm water drainage anyhowly, causing a grid lock, pun intended, hence flooding.Periodic maintenance of the drainage channels is also useful to prevent flooding.
Some storm water drainage channels are huge, eg the ones draining water from State House road through to Uhuru Park. Someone can stand tall and walk through the underground channels. The design of the storm water drainage determines the volume of the water to be transported which in turn determines the size of the drainage chanels.
2. Zoning controls to reduce surface water runoff through Ground Coverage control.
Nairobi County Government has the responsibility to zone Nairobi infrastructure developments to control the amount of surface left open to the sky. In Karen, for example, the Ground Coverage is 25% and in CBD, its 80%, meaning, one can only build 25% and 80% of the ground floor surface, leaving the rest of the percentage open to the sky.
This ground coverage control helps to soak in rain water into the ground, reducing the volume of the runnoff. With lower ground coverages, leaving more land space unbuilt,this will reduce the surface runoff. So as to make this practical since demand for land is high, the County Government can allow for high rise buildings to be constructed, over 5 storeys, so as to compensate for the land left open to the sky, hence mitigate the issue of excess land demand.
3. Height of building from ground level.
Buildings and roads in areas prone to flooding such as South C, South B and Ruai should be built at least 1 meter from ground level. The foundations should also be raft of pile types that do not get affected by soggy grounds. Perimeter walls should have weep holes to let water out to prevent build up of pressure. Walls without weep holes should be made using reinforced concrete strong enough to withstand water pressure. This will prevent walls collapsing from water pressure as was seen yesterday where 9 people lost their life in South B Mosque area.
4. Conservation of water through dams.
Nairobi County should work closely with Kiambu county to create and design storm water drainage that eases of into man made dams for collection to be used in the dry periods. Storm water is easily directed to a particular path then easily collected. Natural water storage situations such as dams , lakes, marshes have all been destroyed around Nairobi. The Southern Bypass near Kikuyu town cuts right through Ondiri swamp, releasing water that has been naturally stored in the swamp for thousands of years. This water then easily finds its ways into Nairobi City, creating flooding problems. Runda area also have natural swamps which have all been drained away to pave way for roads and human settlements, releasing water stored for centuries down stream.
Since human population expansion is inevitable, National Environment Management Authority should become strict to prevent encroachment into lakes, rivers and swamps around Nairobi. County Government should also in a way help nature by creating dams and water ways that can hold this excess water .

It doesn't really matter what you thought of Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy, or Zack Snyder's Man Of Steel, these two gentlemen aren't going anywhere for a long time. Mr. Nolan produced Man Of Steel and is executive producer on Batman V Superman Dawn Of Justice, which is currently being directed by Mr. Snyder. These two creative giants are now doing something that seemed unlikely so soon after The Dark Knight Rises; they are rebooting Batman. In doing so they are moving away from the world created by David S. Goyer and The Nolans and dropping Batman into a world populated by super powered folk. We know it can work, we've seen a billionaire playboy hold his own around gods onscreen before, but will it work here?
It seems like Warner Bros. have faith in both Batman V Superman Dawn Of Justice and Ben Affleck if recent whispers are to be believed. Last week it was rumoured that we might see a new series of Batman movies, starting in 2019 with The Batman. I thought it might be interesting to look at one of the major bonuses of rebooting The Batman. Again.
Now, I have my opinion on Man Of Steel and Zack Snyder, but I'm not going to address that here. I'm assuming if The Batman ever sees a green light it'll get a new director anyway, perhaps even Ben Affleck. I also have an opinion about Ben Affleck playing Bruce Wayne and Batman. That's slightly more positive than most, but neither of these points interest me here. What caught my imagination is the fact that when you reboot The Batman you also reboot his villains. One in particular interests me and that's The Joker.
A ghost haunts the batman franchise. That ghost in wearing a cheap purple suit and make up. Conspicuous by his absence The Joker loomed large over The Dark Knight Rises for me. I felt, early on in the movie's production that he needed to feature in some way. He is, after all, the other side of the Batman coin. They even gave The Joker dialogue that intimated that in The Dark Knight. But Mr. Nolan decided to stay clear of the character following the untimely death of Heath Ledger. I have to admit, Mr. Ledger's performance was legendary. It helped establish a character worthy of Batman, worthy of a place onscreen time and again, an eternal battle of good vs evil, Batman always one rule away from stopping the killer clown as he leaves too many "hats on the ground." When Joseph Gordon-Levitt joined the cast of The Dark Knight Rises I thought he may be playing The Joker. His eery similarity to Heath Ledger would have worked well with or without make up. In fact I started to hope that JGL would portray a Hannibal Lecter style Joker. Head shaved, face make up free behind glass in Arkham assisting Batman in his hunt for, say, The Riddler, whilst simultaneously coaching Riddler through other channels, maybe Harley Quinn. Alas it was not to be.
To me The Joker has come to represent Batman's weakness. He will not be rehabilitated. He will not be contained. He will continue to kill and taunt Batman until he himself is killed. It's Batman's one rule not to take a life that gives The Joker licence to act the way he does. Like that shark in Jaws or John Doe in Se7en, there is no beating him, you just have to destroy him and a part of yourself along with him. Look and the end of their relationship in Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns. I won't spoil it here in case there are people who haven't read it, but it's especially powerful given the lifelong battle that's implied within that book's pages. We need to see The Joker again and again in Batman stories or the character of Batman is weakened in some way.
We got the foreshadowing of The Joker in Batman Begins with the playing card in the films final moments. At that point Christopher Nolan didn't know if he'd ever return to make a sequel, but he knew enough to know the power that moment would have. How powerful would a short cameo have been in the final film? Just an acknowledgement that he was still there, even if they repurposed cut scenes from The Dark Knight. Or if they did digital face replacement. Imagine The Dark Knight Rises if The Joker had figured into Talia's plan. To me it's odd that such a prominent figure in Batman's life wasn't even referenced. Christopher Nolan chose, instead, to honour his friend by leaving The Joker alone. Author Greg Cox decided to include this passage in the official novelisation of the movie:
Now that the Dent Act had made it all but impossible for the city's criminals to cop an insanity plea, it (Blackgate Prison) had replaced Arkham Asylum as a preferred location for imprisoning both convicted and suspected felons. The worst of the worst were sent here, except for the Joker, who, rumor had it, was locked away as Arkham's sole remaining inmate. Or perhaps he had escaped. Nobody was really sure. Not even Selina.
The Joker, I would argue, is a very important component in the Batman Mythos. And with a potential reboot of Batman comes the potential to reboot The Joker. Going forward we might see a series of films that uses that character to taunt Batman and push him into darker, scarier places than we've ever seen him before. Culminating, one would hope, in The Dark Knight Returns, giving the character a fitting exit...
Do you think The Joker should feature in future Batman movies? Who would you cast in the role? Leave your thoughts in the comments.

"TAH - Admission to Devonshire Ward"
About: Chesterfield Royal Hospital Chesterfield Royal Hospital Chesterfield S44 5BL
Posted via NHS Choices
A friend of mine was admitted to Devonshire Ward after a similar operation 2 years ago and her experience was the opposite of mine (she couldn't fault it).
How things have changed.
I was on the ward for four days and could not eat any food but nobody seemed to monitor this.
I was not shown how to operate the bed, the call button or spoken to about any facilities on the ward.
I had to wait quite a long time for response to my call bell for requests for painkillers and one night it was a 2 hour wait.
A lady next to me had to wait so long to a response to her request for a bed ban, it was too late.
No sympathy given.
No assistance with getting to and from the toilet.
I did ask for assistance on my first attempt out of bed and the nurse pulled at both my legs upon which I was in agony, they then decided to ask "what operation have you actually had", they truly had no idea what operation I had gone through.
The nurses that I requested painkillers from always asked when I had my last painkillers, this was a little difficult to answer at times and surely they would have a record of this! With the exception of 2 nurses (cannot name unfortunately) all other nurses showed no compassion, no interest and did not have sufficient knowledge.
One particular nurse did not even speak English at all and informing them I was going to be sick looked at me blank.
I needed the curtain to be shut to protect my dignity on returning from the loo and they didn't understand my request, another patience's husband has to assist.
Nobody looked at my dressing until my discharge of the fourth day.
I had no information about aftercare, exercises, caring of my incision etc.
My overall experience in Devonshire Ward was that I was just an inconvenience and I was far from demanding.
Response from Chesterfield Royal Hospital 15 months ago
I'm so sorry to read your description of your care and treatment on Devonshire Ward, which has obviously caused you distress and upset.
You summarise that you felt you were an 'inconvenience' and this is clearly not how we would want any of our patients to feel after a hospital experience.
I hope you read this reply and feel able to contact us, so that we can hear more about what happened and look at what went wrong.
I appreciate it will not change the perception you left with, but hopefully hearing your story will enable improvements to be made.
Call the complaints and assistance team on 01246 512640 - I will be sending them a copy of this post so they are aware of it before you get in touch.
I do hope you have made a good recovery from the surgery despite feeling that you were given no post-operative advice or support.
Kind regards Sarah Turner-Saint head of communications

Tuesday and Wednesday we had some Champions League matches going on, and today they drew for the final match of the qualification. The play-off matches is very soon above us, and we have to find the last teams that are going to join us in the Champions League tournament this year.
There is plenty of exciting teams in this years Champions League qualification, where Manchester City might be the strongest of them all. But also teams such as Porto, Roma, Ajax, Monaco is in the Qualification and we have at least one very exiciting match ahead of us.
The draws has just been made and here is the final Play-off matches for Champions League:
Champions League Play-Off:
Steaua Bucuresti - Manchester CityPorto vs RomaAjax - RostovYoung Boys - Borussia MönchengladbachVillarreal - MonacoLudogorets Razgrad - Viktoria PlzenCeltic vs Hapoel Beer-ShevaFC Copenhagen vs ApoelDundalk vs Legia WarszawaDinamo Zagreb vs Salzburg.
We've highlighted one match and you can probably guess why. It's because that's the match we think is going to be the most interesting match of them all. No doubt that Porto is the better team, but AS Roma will do absolutely everything they can to play Champions League football again.
What do you think about the matches? Which teams do you expect to quailify for the Champions League group stages?

Set the Dark on Fire (Mass Market Paperbound)
Special Order
In a southern California town ablaze with sordid secrets, a free-spirited biologist and a straitlaced sheriff join forces to investigate a suspicious killing--and find themselves getting a little too close to the flames...
Shay Phillips knows her way around Dark Canyon. She's handy with a gun and can track a wild animal with the best of them. It's humans who usually give her the most trouble. And with a hormonally charged teenage brother to raise--and an admitted weakness for the wrong kind of man--they're giving her plenty of trouble these days. Then there's the matter of murder. As an expert on mountain lions, Shay is skeptical when a local prostitute turns up mauled without a drop of blood near the body.
Now, together with the town's newly arrived sheriff, Luke Meza--a Las Vegas city boy with his own dark secrets--Shay must navigate a dangerous valley filled with angry ex-lovers, unfaithful spouses, and poisonous snakes in a desperate search for the killer. But when suspicion falls on her own brother, and her attraction to Luke rages into a full-on erotic affair, can Shay quell the fires inside her long enough to uncover the truth?

NBA Lockout Update
November 10, 2011 by staff
NBA Lockout Update, With each passing day, the fears grow – will the NBA lockout ever end? Later today, we will have some more clarity. At 5 p.m. another deadline will come upon the lockout.
The players have rejected the latest offer from the owners, but there will be one more bargaining session today before the lockout drags out further. This deadline looms large, as David Stern has held that the amount the owners are willing to share will drop up to four percent if a deal cannot be reached.
The players are adamant they will not be strong-armed by the owners. The split under the previous CBA was 57-43 in favor of the players; the split currently on the table is a sliding scale between 49 and 51 for each side, depending on the profits. Forecasters for the players say that the maximum they could expect under the new proposal is 50.2% of the profits, an incredibly significant drop from last year.
The union was actually given permission to go as low as 50% this past week, a large concession on the part of the players. So, done deal, right? Unfortunately, no. There are multiple other points the players will not concede, as they already believe they are giving up too much.
The other issues mainly revolve around the salary cap. The owners want to increase the luxury tax significantly and have penalties for repeat violators of the luxury tax. The owners believe this would increase parity in the league and lower the competitive advantages of being able to create super teams in bigger markets. What should they do Lebron? Should they admit that they've made mistakes? Should they admit that they've been there before? What should they do? (And, end Lebron rant).
The players, however, want to have the choice of where they go and create super teams if that's what they want. They do not believe it is fair to have a harder salary cap that restricts where they can move during free agency and what players can be brought in to join their teams.
Similarly, the owners want to help the disparity between the haves and the have-nots shrink even further by making more barriers to acquiring a player by use of the mid-level exception (MLE) by teams already violating the luxury tax. The MLE allows teams to add a player at one time during the year for a specific mandated salary number without the player's salary counting against your salary cap. The owners want this number to be smaller and for a shorter term of years for teams above the luxury tax than for those not in violation, thus making teams over the tax less attractive than non-violators to potential MLE candidates.
