"Due thanks and appreciation"
About: Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital Cramlington NE23 6NZ
Posted via NHS Choices
Having attended A&E department on 2nd January 2016, due to difficulty with breathing. I would like to express my sincere thanks to the staff (reception, triage nurse, doctor, and radiographer) who managed my care.
I am asthmatic and had been unwell since new years eve, neglecting the signs and symptoms, mainly due to my reluctance to seek care over the holiday period. I was also hoping to avoid A&E at this time of year until my GP surgery reopened. Unfortunately my condition deteriorated and, after going to the walk in centre at Rake lane, I was transferred to A&E at Cramlington hospital.
As expected the department was extremely busy with quite a significant waiting time. However, despite the unrealistic demands from some of the patients and the downright abusive behaviour of one patient in particular, the staff were extremely diligent and professional. It is the first time I have needed the services of this hospital but I was immensely impressed with the care and advice I received and the layout of the department - no long treks down draughty corridors for a chest x-ray). Well done and thank you.
Response from Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital nearly 2 years ago
Dear Karen,
I do hope you are feeling a lot better and that your asthma is back under control - I am sorry that you had a need for a hospital trip over the holiday period. That's rotten.
Thanks a lot for your review - our emergency care department has been exceptionally busy recently, with an unprecedented number of people attending. Despite the challenges to the system, it is lovely to hear that you were extremely impressed by our hard working and professional staff who gave you all the care and attention you needed. I'll make sure they have a chance to hear how much you appreciated this.
Please take good care of yourself and stay warm !
with best wishes,
Annie Laverty - Director of Patient Experience

This is an updated guideline from RCOG on investigating and managing ovarian cysts in post-menopausal women.
I have previously summarised a guideline from NICE on ovarian cancer and from the RCOG on managing cysts in premenopausal women.
As both these came out some time ago, I will do a general overview, as I'd forgotten quite a bit of this. I've concentrated on the elements I think are useful to us. At the bottom I've done a section on what counts as a 'significant family history' as this comes up quite a lot.
What history and examination should you do?
In a woman with symptoms of a possible ovarian cyst, check for a significant family history of cancer or familial genetic mutations.
Beware a woman over 50 presenting with IBS type symptoms. Consider ovarian masses.
Post-menopausal women can present acutely with abdominal pain from a cyst (eg due to torsion, rupture or haemorrhage).
- Abdo exam
- Vaginal exam
What further assessment should you do?
1. CA125 - if there are concerning symptoms, or if a cyst is otherwise found. NB - this guideline looks at ovarian cysts, but the NICE ovarian cancer guideline advises that if you are investigating due to symptoms, if the CA125 is less than 35 then the woman can be reassured that there is a low risk of malignancy.
2. USS - this should be transvaginal (not just abdominal)
3. RMI - I (Risk of Malignancy Index). This score gives an idea of the risk of malignancy. It takes into account the CA125, the ultrasound findings and the woman's menopausal status. A score of < 25 gives a low risk of malignancy (3%). Over 200 gives a risk of 75%. Between 25 - 200 gives a risk of 20%.
RMI I = U x M x CA125
U is based on the 'ultrasound score'. In the 'ultrasound score', you score 1 for each of: multilocular, solid areas, mets, ascites or bilateral lesions.
- U = 0 (for ultrasound score of 0)
- U = 1 (for ultrasound score of 1)
- U = 3 (for ultrasound score of 2 - 5)
M is based on the menopausal status
- M = 1 (for premenopausal)
- M = 2 (for postmenopausal)
CA125 is the CA125 level in iu/ml
What is the management of these women?
This guideline doesn't really advise which women need referral onto gynaecology. They do advise that women with an RMI I > 200 should be managed in a centre that deals with ovarian malignancy.
Simple Cysts
These have a very low risk of malignancy (< 1%) and a high rate of spontaneous resolution (up to 50% in 3m). Therefore they advise conservative management in a woman with a normal CA125 if a cyst is: asymptomatic, simple, unilateral, unilocular and less than 5cm in diameter. Evaluation should be repeated in 4-6m. If the cyst remains the same, or shrinks after 12m and if the CA125 remains normal, then the woman can be discharged.
Surgery should be considered if:
- Symptomatic
- Non-simple (ie complete septation or multilocular, solid nodules or papillary projections)
- Bilateral
- Multilocular
- More than 5cm
What constitutes a 'significant family history'?
Familial genetic mutations:
- Known carrier of a familial mutation (eg BRCA1, BRCA2 or mismatch repair genes).
- Untested first-degree relative of an individual with a relevant mutation.
- Untested second-degree relative, through an unaffected male, of an individual with a relevant mutation.
Other family members with cancer.
This is a bit long-winded, but useful.
There should be one first-degree relative with either ovarian, breast or bowel cancer AND:
- 2 or more individuals with ovarian CA who are first-degree relatives of each other
- 1 individual with ovarian CA AND one with breast CA, diagnosed under 50 who are first degree relatives of each other
- 1 relative with ovarian CA at any age AND 2 with breast CA diagnosed under age 60 who are first degree relatives
- 3 or more family members with colon CA in 2 generations with 1 diagnosed under age 50 and affected relatives should be first degree relatives.
- 2 family members with colon CA and 1 with stomach, ovarian, endometrial, urinary tract or small bowel CA in 2 generations with 1 diagnosed under age 50 and affected relatives should be first degree relatives.
- 1 individual with both ovarian and breast CA

Thing very weird have come out of this some good some bad and some really weird one's . I guess Floyd could attest to that. We were contacted from an individual who was from Chicago at the time off the dojo war. He was with John Keehan two nights before Konsevic's death and his story is a little different.
Unfortunately the person whom was with Keehan that night is doing 35 years to life in Dixon Correctional Facility http://www.idoc.state.il.us/subsections/facilities/information.asp?instchoice=dix
This guy like every other black youth back then went to Vietnam got out and didn't like what he saw coming home. He served with the 173rd Airborne and that unit had the highest casualty rate in the war. He hooked up with H. Rapp Brown of the Black Panther's and later the Students for a Democratic Society. And like any militant group the loved the martial arts. Hooked up with the Chicago Karate scene at the time and started to train with Konsevic and later trained with Keehan. I'm really screwed up by this because I remember the story of a training a day in 67 were William v Aguiar Jr. He got an eye cut with a shuto and my father stated that that's the same guy who patched Billy Jr up .
Well the story goes like this. A couple of Keehans white belts got their asses kick by four Green Dragons and thats set off a personal challenge from Keehan against two the Green Dragon Masters. This individual two days before told Keehan to forget about it Keehan thought it was going to be honorable. And Konsevic was killed tragicly but from what I'm told people were pissed that they ran out and Konsevic himself made it all the way out the door and down the street were later he died . Which lead to Keehan under the clouds of a grand jury indictments that lead him too sell peanuts at Wrigley Field and give up karate in Chicago . Keehan stopped a hit on them from some of Konsevic friends. Because of court and the police Keehan wanted out and he said to this person that he would leave the Chicago area. And the rest is history.

Volunteers required for a children's home in Nepal
Cause Areas
WhenSat Jul 01, 2017 - Wed Jan 03, 2018
WhereSYANGJA children's homeBegnas lakePokharaPokhara, NP
As a rule EHN does not work with orphanages in Nepal due to the conditions of care for the children and the lack of transparency in the owners. Most of these orphanages are centre red in the tourist areas so they can capitalise on the generosity of visitors to Nepal.
But the Syangja children's home is a little different in the fact it isn't near the tourist areas and is situated in a rural village near one of the schools we work with. The children's home is governed by a group of local women who came together to help these children and will only accept female volunteer's.
As a volunteer your responsibilities will be caring for the children from helping to feed, clean and play games with them in the evening. You will also be expected to walk with them to and from school as well as helping them with their homework etc. But most of all you will be expected to spend time with the children and help the staff provide a loving home for the kids.
Childcare qualifications are wost welcome but will accept volunteers who have experience with looking after children.
- Child Welfare
- Child Care
- Youth Services

Requirements & Commitment
- Must be at least 18
- We only accept volunteers for a min of one month.
- Please tell the team if you have other qualifications which we can use.

Earlier in the year when the UFC first announced their new six year, $70 million uniform sponsorship deal with Reebok which comes into play this July there was some unrest amongst fighters regarding how the money would be distributed amongst the roster.
As part of the deal fighters will no longer be able to seek out their own clothing sponsorship deals for their fights and fight week obligations, but instead the original idea is that they would now be paid via a tiered system based on their current ranking in the promotion, with the money coming directly from the Reebok deal.
Not everyone was happy with that though, with some fighters worried about the fairness of the rankings, while others felt it was unfair that long-term UFC fighters with a big fanbase could potentially be earning less sponsorship money than less experienced fighters who've yet to build a name for themselves.
Taking the criticism on-board the Sports Business Journal have stated that the UFC are now scrapping the ranking idea and are now going to dole out the money based on the number of bouts the fighters have had in the promotion and Zuffa's other former promotions Strikeforce and WEC.
The tiered system will see groupings of 1-5 fights, 6-10 fights, 11-15 fights, 16-20 fights and 21+ fights with the only exception being that title holders and title challengers will get a better share regardless of their experience level.
It's a move that will be welcomed by the UFC's veteran campaigners, including Gleison Tibau who's the most experienced fighter on the roster at this moment in time with 25 fights, while the likes of Michael Bisping and Diego Sanchez would also be in the top tier based on their number of fights.
It doesn't take long to find flaws in the system though. For instance, should Tibau, an unranked lightweight who's never been a top draw for the promotion really be at the top of the sponsorship ladder while (if it wasn't for the fact he's involved in a title fight next) overnight superstar Conor McGregor would be in the bottom tier with just five fights in the UFC so far?
Also, if they key to a more lucrative sponsorship deal is now simply how many fights you've had in the UFC rather than how impressive you've looked, how popular you are or how entertaining your style is, could that then have a knock-on effect as to how fighters will approach their fights in the future?
The other big question fighters will have is whether even the most lucrative bands of this new tiered system will be comparable to the level of income they have been able to generate for themselves up until this point.
Only time will tell, but for now there still remains a level of uncertainty about whether this deal will prove to be a success or not the UFC's fighters.

A 37-year-old man was sentenced to 21 years, four months in prison after being found guilty of multiple felony charges related to a Long Beach human trafficking case, the Attorney General's Office announced Friday.
Andrew Jordan, a Los Angeles County resident, was sentenced Friday after a jury found him guilty in September of human trafficking, pimping, pandering, domestic violence and assault. He has been in police custody since his arrest in September 2015.
"Human trafficking is a heinous crime where perpetrators profit from the trading and selling of human beings," said Attorney General Harris in a statement. "[This] sentence sends a clear signal that this form of modern-day slavery will not be tolerated."
During the two-week trial, victims testified that Jordan would drop them off in areas known for prostitution, force them to commit commercial sex acts and keep the money, according to a release. He monitored their whereabouts by circling the streets and text messaging.
"He collected the money in between sex acts and set strict rules, including how much time the victims should be with a client, what geographic areas they could go to, and how much they needed to make each day," according to the release.
If any victim broke the rules, he severely punished them with a physical beating, according to officials.
Jordan's arrest was made possible through the combined efforts of various police agencies, including Long Beach Police Department's (LBPD) Vice Investigations and Gang Enforcement Sections and the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's (LASD) Custody Investigative Services, Operation Safe Jails, the Simi Valley Police Department, and the Los Angeles Human Exploitation and Trafficking Task Force, who identified the human trafficking victims exploited by Jordan.

BMC Services are essentially the benefits of being a part of the Community of Faith called Beebe Memorial Cathedral. We would like to think that we are a church who serves the total person from the cradle to the transition of abundant life.
This includes but not limited to:
- Baptism
- Pastoral Care
- Benevolence
- Marriage
- Bereavement
BAPTISM is a Christian ordinance that symbolizes the death of the old nature of sin (our carnal selves) and a resurrection to a new life in Christ Jesus (Romans 6:3-8). It also symbolizes the cleansing power of His blood and an outward testimony of our faith in the Lord Jesus.
INFANT BAPTISM & DEDICATION is a ceremony in which parents and families make a commitment before the Lord to submit a child to God's Will, and to raise that child according to God's Word and God's ways. We baptize babies because we believe it is an opportunity for the seed of faith to be planted in a child so when they are of age they will make a decision regarding their faith.
We offer three forms of Baptism at the Cathedral: Sprinkling, Pouring or Immersion. Baptisms take place on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month. Candidates are asked to contact the office at 510-655-6114 for scheduling.
PASTORAL CARE is a term applied where Christians offer help and caring to others in their church or wider community. We feel that Pastoral care can be listening, supporting, encouraging and helping. Too often we think of pastoral care as just visiting the home bound or those who are ill. Through associate ministers and leaders we regularly visit people in nursing facilities, in hospitals or in their homes. Additionally, we want to you to know we care about you. Therefore we listen:
- "Listening," means giving your full and undivided attention. It does not mean offering a solution to a problem or how to "fix" a situation.
- "Supporting," means offering the nurture and validation to an individual even if we don't fully understand his or her needs.
- "Encouraging," means boosting someone's faith and confidence through the power of the Holy Spirit.
- "Helping" means opening your heart to anyone you believe to be in need of pastoral care within our community of faith.
When we sense a need in someone, a simple "Are you OK?" may well open a floodgate. Our caring response to his or her needs is what pastoral care is all about.
BENEVOLENCE SERVICE When we say, "we care," we're not just spouting words. BMC have partnered with local agencies and organizations to provide services and be a resource to the homeless, the hungry, victims of domestic violence, and those who have been displaced by life circumstances. Our goal is to provide resources and referral opportunities to both members and non-members.
Services provided directly through our (Benevolence) Ministry are:
- Financial assistance with utility bills.
- Financial assistance with housing obligations.
Application Time Line
- The Steward Board accepts applications the first week of every month.
- Staff and volunteers review, approve or deny requests within 7 – 14 days.
WEDDING As a newly engaged couple faces the task of planning a wedding, you might find that every other decision will be based on the location of the ceremony. If you are active member here at BMC you should look no further. If you have your heart set on a church wedding planning ahead is necessary. As a guideline, try to book the church a year in advance.
PREMARITAL COUNSELING The Bible shows us that marriage is a beautiful gift given from God to a man and a woman for the purpose of bringing Him glory and making us faithful. Godly marriage is often an image as Christ's relationship with the Church. (Ephesians 5:31-33) Knowing this, we here at Beebe Memorial Cathedral take very seriously our responsibility to guide couples who moving toward marriage. To that end we offer pre-marital counseling opportunities. For more information please contact our office (510) 655-6114
BEREAVEMENT The loss of a loved one can hurt deeply. Our mission is to provide spiritual support and comfort to individuals and their relatives who experience the death of a loved one. We strive to comfort and encourage those who are confined to their homes, hospitals and other health-care facilities due to illness or other medical conditions. And should your family suffer a death, we stand ready to serve and assist with funeral arrangements and other details.
Services provided are as follows:
- Memorial Services, Graveside Services, Home going Services
- Referrals to Cemeteries and Funeral Homes
- Telephone Call Support and Visitations to homes, hospitals, Nursing Homes, Hospice Programs, Rehabilitation Centers, etc.
"Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted" (Matthew 5:4)
"Anguish"…"numbness"…"heartache"…"anger" is just some of the responses we have when we hear about the death of someone close to us. The word home going symbolizes the connection that Christians have with our Heavenly Father. When we die as a son or daughter of God, we return home to our Father. Thus the term home going is substituted for the word funeral.
We can never be truly prepared to lose a loved one. The Bereavement Ministry is in place to help you with your initial reactions to as well as planning and preparation for the death; serving you during the home going; and providing spiritual support afterward. We have an entire team in place to provide compassionate care with sensitivity and grace.
Descriptions of Different Types of Services Provided
In most Christian societies, families have customs to commemorate the life and death of a recently deceased relative. BMC makes available various types of services, ranging from intimate gatherings to cathedral celebrations. Although Beebe Memorial Cathedral does not maintain a contractual relationship with any funeral home or cemetery, upon request we will offer a Bay-area referral listing.
Home going (Funeral) Service at BMC. It is an honor for BMC to serve you and your families as you celebrate the life of your loved one. We have ministers, ushers, musicians, and sound technicians for each service conducted at BMC. Services are usually conducted Monday – Friday and begin at 10:00 a.m. or 11:00 a.m. All home going services that take place at BMC require at least one BMC ordained minister to be present. It is our goal to help guide the family to a place of healing. Therefore BMC have final viewings at the beginning of the service during the family processional of the home going service instead at the conclusion.
Memorial Service at BMC . Here at BMC, the term memorial service modifies the home going service by honoring the deceased person with pictures, flowers, crosses and urns without the presence of a casket. The actual service can be as formal as a home going service or as relaxed as a time of reflection and fellowship. The Pastoral staff must approve the final format and activities of the memorial service before the service can take place.
Funeral Home Service A funeral home service takes place in the chapel of a local funeral home. Whenever the family chooses this option for the home going service, the funeral home staff assists the family with planning the service. Upon request, BMC will provide an ordained minister in the absence of the Senior Pastor. The funeral home staff is required to contact the office at least five days prior to the service. Please note that BMC will provide an ordained minister for funeral home services upon request.
Graveside Service. Graveside Services are small and intimate home going services that take place literally at the cemetery. Families coordinate this option with the cemetery and funeral home of their choice. When requested, BMC ministerial staff is in place to officiate, pray, share words of comfort and offer the final committal. Special features of graveside services usually include: an extremely brief service (5 to 15 minutes' duration), the onsite committal and family observation of the initial stages of the internment (burial). As with funeral home services, please note that BMC will provide ministers for graveside services only upon request.
Wake / Family Hour/ Viewing It is customary for some of our members to honor their loved one with a "wake," "viewing" or "family hour." All three of these services take place at the funeral home and are generally informal and have a brief time set aside for remarks and prayer. A minister or funeral home staff member will be present to oversee the proceedings.
A formal wake takes place in the chapel of the funeral home, with the body of the deceased person present for public viewing. The funeral home staff will arrange the type of service the family desires. With 5 days' notice, BMC can provide an ordained minister to be present.
During informal wakes, there is not an officiating person present. At any point, members in the audience are welcome to come up to the front of the chapel and offer reflections or share one-on-one with the deceased person's family.
The family hour is a term that symbolizes a prearranged period of time that one or more family members are present at the funeral home to receive visitors. The funeral home staff arranges a "parlor," where family members sit in the same private room with their loved one's body. Visitors share a few intimate moments with the family; bonds are reconnected, memories are stirred and encouragement is shared one with the other. BMC ministers are not present during this time.
A public viewing is an option some families choose to provide an opportunity for others to come by the funeral home to see the deceased person. This option allows persons who cannot attend the home going or memorial service a time of private reflection with their friend. Neither the family nor BMC or ministers are present during this time.
Repast Meals . Currently the repast, or the family meal, is the only area of the Bereavement Ministry that requires payment.

Really impressive, especially for 3 week's work.
The one shortfall was some grammar errors and mis-spellings in the subtitles ("to" instead of "too," "ain't" was mis-spelled "an't" and some others)
But, even with that extremely small nitpick, you still get a 10 and a fav!
Everything else, even down to the typography was really well done in this. Kudos!

Australia's search and rescue region
Allocating search and rescue regions
Both the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) and the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) sponsor global search and rescue plans, allocating search and rescue regions (SRRs) to nations.

Pool still top after revival
By James Pearson
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Republic of Ireland under-21 international Renier Moor fired the home side into the lead shortly into the second half, however the league leaders hit back with goals from Mark Tinkler, his 8th of the season, and Mark Richardson in the space of three minutes to claim all three points.
Rushden and Diamonds maintained the pressure on Pool with a late 2-0 win over Darlington.
Following a goalless first half goals from Onandi Lowe (79) and an own goal from Matthew Clarke (83) handed maximum points to the home side.
Bournemouth dented their promotion hopes after coming out of the wrong end of a five-goal thriller at the Racecourse Ground against Wrexham.
The Red Dragons were ahead on five minutes when Lee Trundle netted, however Danny Thomas had the visitors back on level terms on the half hour mark.
Both sides traded goals through James Hayter (54) and Andrew Morrell (69), before Paul Edwards settled the contest with a late winner.
Kidderminster, like Bournemouth, surprisingly dropped points, after crashing to a shock 2-1 loss to Carlisle United.
On-loan Leeds United youngster fired The Cumbrians ahead on 15 minutes from the penalty spot, before Harriers plight was made worse when Scott Stamps was dismissed for receiving his second yellow card.
The ten-men outfit found themselves back on level terms when Sean Flynn netted (66), however Will McDonagh sealed the points for the visitors late on.
The drama however had not finished. Goal-scoring hero McDonagh was sent-off, before Flynn found himself taking an early shower when he was shown the red-card for violent conduct.
Leyton Orient's dismal record at Bootham Crescent continued as they crash to a 3-2 defeat against York City.
Orient have not beaten the Yorkshire side away from home in 26 years, however that looked under threat when Kevin Nugent out the visitors ahead on nine minutes.
Chris Bass equalised for The Minstermen on 28 minutes, before John Martin restored the visitors' advantage just on the hour mark.
The contest turned when Dean Smith was sent-off for The O's. York revelled in the extra space leaving late goals from Jonathan Park and Lee Bullock to earn City an unlikely three points.
Bottom-side Swansea boosted their survival prospects with a hard-fought 1-0 home win over Macclesfield. It took until 84 minutes to settle the tie when Matthew Murphy netted.
Bristol Rovers poor start to the campaign continued with a late 1-0 home defeat to Southend. After missing numerous chances the take the lead, the visitors countered and score late on through Tesfaye Bramble.
Hull recent run of good form came to an end after they were held to a 1-1 draw away to Lincoln City.
Ben Futcher put the home side ahead early, however their task was made all that bit harder when Paul Morgan was dismissed for a professional foul.
The visitors capitalised when Gary Alexander scored just moments later, however The Tigers could not find that all-important winner.
Boston United's recent revival ended after they crashed to a 2-0 loss at the hands of Scunthorpe United.
The Pilgrims fell behind in the 16th minute when Peter Beagrie scored from the spot. Martin Bavidge made it two on 73 minutes, before the visitors' misery was compounded by Mark Greaves late sending-off.
Nigel Jemson netted his 100th career English league goal with a brace in Shrewsbury's 3-1 home win over Cambridge United.
Tom Youngs fired the visitors ahead on 53 minutes, but that was at good as it got for United.
Jemson equalised with his first on 67 minutes, before Ian Woan maintained his excellent goal-scoring run, three in four, with a goal on late on.
With Town closing in on the invaluable three points Jemson netted his second and 100th in the league football with virtually the last kick of the game.
Elsewhere Torquay claimed all three points with a 1-0 win away at Bury thanks to a David Graham goal, whilst strikes from James Hunt and Steve Basham lifted Oxford over Rochdale.

The Totally NEW Team Corwin Thread
View Single Post
April 19th, 2013, 22:02
Based on my experiences so far with Shadohe, once you build your vampiric stonedust handwraps (the base handwraps are bound to account, but they become bound to character when you add the vampiric, so you could farm out the wraps, the staff of shadow, and a purple -IIRC- mark ahead of time on one of your other toons and pass them down but don't combine them), you don't need to worry about a thing. As a monk, you rarely take massive damage anyway, and regen-ing 5hp per round (1hp/attack times 5 unarmed attacks/round as of level 13) will keep you filled up fairly well. Add in stunning fist and the stone prison off the handwraps, and the critters won't even get to swing at you half the time.
I'll have to refresh my memory on the details of the build, but I know I maxed DEX and boosted WIS and CON. I think I dropped a couple points into STR to make up for the penalty I took being halfling so I didn't get enfeebled to death. There's no real advantage to gimping a stat and getting it back via tome (like you've done on one of your pallys with WIS) since there aren't any spell level thresholds to meet. The important bonuses from stats are point-for-point on stats you'll already want high, so you'll want your tomes to get you higher rather than planning on them getting you to some goal line.
Feat-wise, I know I took weapon finesse very early. I think I was building toward spring attack, which has several pre-reqs. That's probably the dodge line you mentioned, but I need my paper in front of me to be sure.
Skill-wise, I think you've got it covered. I'd drop at least a point or two into tumble to activate the skill and then let your DEX bonus boost it to a decent value.
As far as the forum builds, if you're wanting a pure killing machine, you want to go dark monk. The light monk has a better balance. The one thing I've noticed with my dark monk is that you've really got to focus in on using moves to get the most out of it. If you tend to wade in and just click attack until the screen's clear (my favored approach), you're pissing away all the advantages. I would have been better off with a light monk because I'm a lazy melee. You should do a little soul searching before making a decision. You pick your direction at level 3 but you don't really see the results of the choice until many levels later. Since it's a feat choice that drives subsequent enhancement choices, it's a painful revision if you change your mind. The reason to max out healing amp is to get more out of "trickle healing" from vampirics and a specific light monk effect. Nice, but I don't know that I'd call it critical.
As usual, jm and az (and cm, in this case) have much more experience with the class than I, and would be better references.
Oh, aside from the handwraps, I'd farm the monky-love bracers out of the Sentinels pack-
. You've probably got a crapload of Garments of Equilibrium already, if not they drop all the time.
Sorry. No pearls of wisdom in this oyster.

Knight International Journalism Fellowships
Kenya: Driving citizen engagement through data-driven stories on health and development
Award-winning journalist Catherine Gicheru is an ICFJ Knight Fellow who is working to transform media coverage of health and development issues by introducing new digital and data-focused tools at Kenyan newsrooms. The goal: to drive media coverage that helps citizens access better care and services and that gives them a voice in decisions about public policies and government spending.
Gicheru has already achieved important results. With her help, the Nation Media Group hired its first data editor and The Star hired its first dedicated health reporter, innovations that will enable both publications to produce deeper, more engaging data-driven content. Gicheru regularly mentors Kenyan reporters, encouraging them to include more data and visual content in their stories. She worked with The Nation health reporter to produce interactive stories, which included the first maps produced in-house by the newspaper. The stories highlighted important health issues, such as high teen HIV and abortion rates and community-based treatments for tuberculosis patients.
During her Fellowship, Gicheru has steered improvements in the Dodgy Doctors app, which allows Kenyans to check the credentials of their doctors. In response, the Kenyan government has launched its own initiative to make it easier for citizens to find out if doctors are properly licensed and trained to dispense the treatments they offer. The Dodgy Doctors tool was first developed by technologists working under the guidance of ICFJ Knight Fellow Justin Arenstein in collaboration with the Nairobi-based Star newspaper.
The vehicle driving this transformation is Code for Kenya, a civic and data journalism technology hub that brings much-needed tech expertise to Kenyan newsrooms. During her fellowship, Gicheru has expanded Code for Kenya, which builds data journalism tools and embeds technologists into newsrooms to help them incorporate these tools into their editorial work. She is also helping to grow the Nairobi chapter of Hacks/Hackers, the global movement that brings together journalists and technologists to develop tech solutions to news challenges. Through Code for Kenya and Hacks/Hackers, Gicheru leads events such as multi-day data bootcamps, masterclasses and meetups that build journalists' digital skills.
Gicheru's work is part of the Code for Africa data journalism initiative, led by a team of ICFJ Knight Fellows, to harness data in new ways to empower citizens, and improve government accountability and public services for people to lead healthier, more prosperous lives.
Before becoming an ICFJ Knight Fellow, Gicheru was founding editor-in-chief at the Star.
Among the projects Gicheru is leading:
Dodgy Doctors: Reports of people masquerading as doctors used to be common in Kenya, but "Dodgy Doctors," a tool developed by Code for Kenya in partnership with The Star, now lets patients send an SMS or check online to see if the doctor is properly registered. Because of Gicheru's leadership, the use of the tool has increased tenfold. Following the success of the tool, the Kenyan government has directed all boards and associations that register medical health practitioners to start similar services, further enabling the public to identify licensed doctors.
WAZIMap Kenya: First developed by Code for South Africa, WAZImap provides journalists with easy access to census and demographic data visualizations that they can embed in articles. The Kenyan version is the first to provide health data on maternal care, HIV prevention, vaccinations and children's nutrition. Reporters can explore data on a local level and can generate interactive charts showing side-by-side comparisons of data for different areas. Code for Kenya and its media partners will soon release an initial series of stories on maternal health, youth unemployment and education.
PesaCheck: It is rare for journalists in Kenya to fact-check budgets, but PesaCheck aims to show local reporters that evidence-based reporting on financial issues is possible. Launched by Gicheru in partnership with the International Budget Partnership - Kenya, PesaCheck is Kenya's first fact-checking news service. PesaCheck uses stories, infographics and data visualizations help Kenyans understand complex public finance issues so they can make informed decisions and actively participate in the budget-making process.
GotToVote: This web and SMS app helps citizens to find their nearest voter registration center and confirm their registration. Code for Kenya first built the app for the country's 2013 elections. With Gicheru, they have relaunched it for the 2017 vote. In the leadup to the elections, Gicheru is working with local newsrooms to publicize the tool and find election trends to report. Since it was first launched in Kenya, GotToVote has been also used by hundreds of thousands of citizens in five additional countries, two of which adopted it as an "official" voter registration tool.

May Way Dumplings Restaurant Review - Winston Salem, NC
4 comments:
- AnonymousFebruary 22, 2016 at 9:32 PM
I have lived in Winston most of my life...I really like Vincenzo's, Sweet Potatoes, Chang Thai, and the Village Tavern in Reynolda Village (not the one by the mall). Midtown Cafe is hit or miss, but their desserts are always excellent! Cherries Cafe is good, but pretty pricey for a lunch place. Hope this helps!ReplyDelete
I was thinking of giving Chang Thai a try in Clemmons, is that the one you like? I didn't care for the menu at the Village Tavern and it was recently hit by a car, it's so close to the street, eek! We've been meaning to try Sweet Potatoes. Thanks for the suggestions :)ReplyDelete
I started reading for the QVC TSVs but love the info on the area. Not only does my sister and family live outside Raleigh but my niece attends Salem College in Winston-Salem (where, btw, she is a genius on full scholarship). Lol, we're a smidge proud of her! I was wondering if you've tried Duck Donuts in Cary? They started on the Outer Banks (in Duck, obviously) but have started franchising. They cook your donuts in front of you and ice to order. I know we're in the Krispy Kreme state but Duck Donuts is a little different and fun. Many thanks for all your work!!!ReplyDeleteReplies
Sorry for the slow response, April, I just noticed google didn't show me all the comments. That's wonderful she received a full scholarship. Haven't heard of Duck Donuts, been a fan of Krispy Kreme since moving here. I was a Dunkin Donuts fan when we lived elsewhere. Looked it up, ah, they moved into the space that was a yogurt store. Love the Chipotle there. Yeah, they moved in after we moved to WS, so I haven't tried them. Maybe I'll have Hubby bring some back next time he's there on business. Which flavors ones should I get? You're welcome :)Delete

Ok so it's not really to much of an issue but every time i start my computer after a bit of usage, explorer.exe will jump up to 6gb of memory usage causing a major drop in performance. I fix it by ending the process and then restarting it but it doesn't make any sense to me. Is there a way i can get it to stop randomly doing this?

Bring up Resource Monitor and see if explorer.exe is connecting to the internet... if it is, then the computer might be infected no matter what Kaspersky tells you. WDO might be a place to start.
Also give SFC a try. If it finds/fixes stuff, restart and scan again.

What is a PACE program?
PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) delivers all needed medical and supportive services. The program provides the entire spectrum of care and services to older adults with chronic care needs while maintaining their independence in their homes for as long as possible.
Where did PACE come from?
The PACE model of care can be traced to the early 1970s. The Chinatown-North Beach community of San Francisco saw the pressing needs of families whose elders had immigrated from Italy, China and the Philippines for long-term care services. On Lok Senior Health Services, a nonprofit corporation, was the first to create a community-based system of care in San Francisco.
How many PACE programs are there?
There are more than 96 PACE providers like Senior CommUnity Care today nationwide. We are Western Colorado's first PACE provider.
Who qualifies for PACE?
PACE serves people who are age 55 or older. They must be certified by their state to meet the need for nursing home level of care. They must also be able to live safely in the community at the time of enrollment and live in a PACE service area.
How do I join Senior CommUnity Care?
Please inquire with one of our PACE Enrollment Specialists: In Eckert, CO area, contact Caitlin Williams at 970-835-2900 or firstname.lastname@example.com; In Montrose, CO area, contact Jamie Hughes at 970-252-0522 or email@example.com.
Are people who do not qualify for Medicaid eligible for PACE enrollment?
Yes. If a person meets the income and assets limits to qualify for Medicaid, the program pays for a portion of the monthly PACE premium. Medicare pays for the rest. If a person does not qualify for Medicaid, he or she is responsible for the portion of the monthly premium Medicaid would pay. PACE staff can help determine a person's Medicaid eligibility. For more information on Medicaid eligibility, visit the Medicaid.gov website.
Is transportation provided to the PACE Day Center?
Yes. We provide transportation to and from the PACE Day Centers. Not only is transportation provided between the participant's home and the Center, but also to important medical appointments and other activities.
Do PACE participants attend the PACE Day Center every day?
No. The average participant attends the Center about three days a week.
What services are provided as part of this program?
We offer caregivers who respond to individualized care needs, the ability to continue living in the community, health care services, cost savings and much more. For a complete list of services that SCC provides, please visit our Services section.
Are prescription drugs covered?
Yes. All prescription and over-the-counter drugs deemed medically necessary by the PACE care team are covered by Senior CommUnity Care.
Who will my doctor be?
Senior CommUnity Care currently contracts with physicians in the Delta and Montrose area to provide medical care. This primary care physician works with the team to coordinate all services a participant receives.
How does Senior CommUnity Care support family caregivers?
We support family members and other caregivers with training, support groups, respite care, and end of life services.
When do participant services begin?
Services begin depending upon what day of the month you are enrolled. Please consult with your enrollment specialist for complete details.
What happens if a person wants to leave the Senior CommUnity Care program?
A participant is free to dis-enroll from our program and resume their benefits in the traditional Medicare and Medicaid programs at any time.
I would like to volunteer. How can I help?
There are many ways you can volunteer at the PACE Day Centers. Contact us at 970-252-0522 in Montrose County and 970-835-8500 in Delta County for details.

I saw beeb=n and thought that was funny enough to leave up.
Anyway, Chickenpooper has ' not been available for comment' since issuing this statement.
Hey Loopy! Can this wait until after we hit the bottom of Barry's "fiscal cliff" and the flames have been put out? Jughead! Your Nazi style "gun confiscation" is really not at the top of everyone's list right now. Why don't you and your hippie pals grab a bag of weed and take your boyfriends skiing. We'll get back to you once we get the important stuff figured out.
As a Colorado native, born and bred (though one who hasn't lived there in a decade) I'd like to think Hickenlooper is misreading Colorado voters on this matter. They may like Obama and weed but the Colorado I grew up in liked their guns as well. Even Columbine didn't change this.
Sounds like its time to talk impeachment....
I take it this guy MUST be a D as the 'R' word was not liberally spread throughout this revealing story.
I know my cynicism runs amok at times, but the little bit I had seen/heard on the news about this incident the readers seem to be 'mad' there wasn't more carnage...They exploited the deed etc but when they 'had' to say 3 dead including the perp, I almost had the impression they didn't think it was 'enough'.
Forget it, Chickenpooper! Gun control don't go 'round here.
Looks like the governor must be trying to get the legislature to join him in a political suicide pact. Is this his last term as governor or something?
I would be happy if those folks who moved to Colorado from California and the East Coast pack up and move away and take their liberalism with them. Hickenlooper will be a one-term governor if he pushes for gun control.
Time for Colorado to start an honest discussion on
handing Hickenloopy his walking papers. When ever a
polly starts mouthbreathing their ruminations about
needing more gun control it's a sure sign they need to
be given the boot.....IMMEDIATELY.
Actually, it's time to discuss politician control.

Media Watch
Mail: Kompany injury a blow to the Blues
The Blues are through, but in general the media are not impressed
City are through to the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the first time, and while the goalless draw with Dynamo Kyiv won't linger in the memory for too long the world's media had plenty to sink their teeth in to.
City's own David Clayton pretty much nailed it in the match report elsewhere on this site by saying "It wasn't a thriller, but job done". Many writers expand on Dave's theme, and the context of the injuries to Vincent Kompany and Nicolas Otamendi loom large as well.
Martin Samuel in the Daily Mail is a typical example, and he wasn't impressed by what he saw.
"Kiev, if you pardon the pun, were chicken. And City were far too comfortable. The best that could be said of them is that they were excused games on medical grounds. Losing Kompany after five minutes, and his partner Otamendi after 20, would sink the spirits of any team.
"Kompany is a talisman for City, and they are much reduced without him. If his calf injury stretches towards May, his loss could be fatal to the club's ambitions in the remainder of the season.
"Fortunately, Kiev seemed largely happy to sign up for a non-aggression pact and City were rarely tested. They will proudly take their place in Friday's draw but this was hardly an occasion befitting the honour of Breakthrough Night. Sleep-through night, maybe."
Ouch. The Mirror's Dave Kidd also goes in strong in his piece on last night, highlighting how important the skipper appears to all in and outside of the club.
"An injury to City's Belgian skipper always creates a sense of dread around the Etihad. They are not the same team without him, no matter how much they have shelled out on alternative central defensive options.
"Pellegrini fears he will be out for around six weeks – and it is a bitter blow for the Belgian, City's best defender by a mile and a true club captain in every sense."
The ripple effect of Tuesday night's injuries has reached NBC Sports as well, who widen their scope to the derby next Sunday, Premier League matters in general and European matters next season.
"Manuel Pellegrini has been open about his goals of reaching new heights in the UCL this season, and now he has done so. However, Pellegrini won't be in Manchester next year, and City may not be in the Champions League either.
"Into the last eight, no one really expects City to win the whole thing. That means they must finish in the top-four of the Premier League to qualify for the Champions League next season.
"After losing starting centre-backs Vincent Kompany and Nicolas Otamendi to injury against Kiev, City will likely be forced to field a second-tier defence in the derby. If they were to lose and other results around the league go against them, City could finish the weekend fifth on the table and just a point above sixth."
But it's not all doom and gloom, folks! City could be England's only representatives in the last eight – Arsenal must overcome a 0-2 deficit against Barcelona tonight to join us – and the Manchester Evening News' James Robson sees glimmers of hope for the Blues' Euro prospects.
James writes that "…the expectancy is that Manchester City will be English football's last hope of triumphing in the Champions League this season. That in itself is a commendable feat and with Wolfsburg and Benfica still in the competition, they have every right to believe the semi-finals are a very distinct possibility.
"Even if the goalless draw with Dynamo Kiev lacked any real spark - the professional job done by City in difficult circumstances will have pleased Manuel Pellegrini most."

If you only have one version of your app, then you're limiting your potential market share. Whether it's already a raging success at home, just beginning to gather speed or still an idea on the drawing board, you need to be thinking globally. Why? Because the international app market is virtually limitless.
The Smartphone is Omnipotent
The good news for app developers for iOS or Android is that practically everyone today is addicted to their smartphone. With an app for absolutely everything, from editing photos to planning vacations; managing finances to playing games, the world (and not just the Western world) has gone app crazy.
More than 50% of the world's mobile subscribers are based in Asia/Pacific. And with rising demand in developing countries in Africa, Latin America and Eastern Europe, you're not just capping your potential success if your app's only available in the US; you're killing your potential for future growth.
Be More Than Just Available
It goes without saying that to gain access to global markets, you have to be available in global markets. But being globally available is only the first step; making sure your app is globally ready through mobile app localization is crucial for success.
Anyone who's traveled, done business abroad, or had foreign friends or partners knows that people are people wherever you go. We have the same hopes, dreams, goals, fears, feelings… but we do have different ways of expressing them.
So what does that mean? Apps that are successful in the States have every chance of becoming popular in Asia,but breezing into a foreign market and blatantly ignoring the local culture is a sure fire way of planning for failure.
Launching your app in China in English will reduce its visibility to almost zero. Even if some people speak the language, they won't search for it in the App or Play Stores in English. Translating your app into Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean, or Japanese therefore becomes critical.
Speak the Local Lingo
But simply translating your app isn't enough either. Because your international customers are just as important as those at home, you need to offer them an equally captivating user experience that makes them want to recommend you to a friend, share you on social media and buy your products.
You don't want to offer a weakly translated message that they merely understand. App localization is all about speaking to them in their own language, on their own level and optimizing your app content (ASO) by using precise, targeted keywords that will improve your visibility and download rate.
Internationalize Your Code
If your app's already up and running, internationalization will require you to make a change in your software to make sure that it takes into account other regional formats. If your app is still in design stages, then you can prepare for multiple versions easily from the start.
The internationalization process ensures that your app's source code is written in a way that allows you to create versions of your app in other languages easily and with lower cost. Once your software is multiple languages friendly, you'll need to work on your wording, icons, images and more.
Time for Localization
Localization goes way beyond translating the written parts of your app. Localization takes into account local users, local vocabulary, common icons, appropriate colors, formatting and images to ensure cultural compatibility.
Localization testing makes sure the coding works correctly and that your app is downloaded and tested by multiple users in your target market, on multiple devices.
Localization testing ensures that the visual design is optimum with no cosmetic issues, such as words that are longer in your target language running out of text boxes and that accents and characters are all in the right place.
And Linguistic Testing
Your app will then be put through rigorous linguistic testing, which is like a final proofreading to make sure that the source code changes, graphical elements, local lingo and formatting are all on target on all devices your app works on.
App Store Optimization (ASO)
Like with search engine optimization, ASO takes into account the fact that people search for apps in their own languages and local words. So the right translation of your app's name, keywords and description will help local users find it more easily.
Things to Keep in Mind
- Study Your Audience –Do make sure there's a realistic demand for your app before you dive in. A studied and profiled audience will secure potentially uncapped profits and growth for your company, whereas offering your app to the wrong market will not.
- Do it early – If possible, allow for localization and internationalization of your source code in the early stages. Planning for international growth from early on will save you money in the long run.
- An investment, not a cost –You may not think you have a budget for app localization but, even if your app is in its infancy, with 95% of the world's population subscribed to mobile phones, the future profits will the cost and position your app for global success.

do I need to use itunes from the computer to downlolad music to the ipad?
- Asked by Lilian C from San Francisco
1 Answer from the Community
Best Answer:
No. The iPad (and the iPhone) are "PC free", meaning you can buy an iPad without ever having owned a computer. You can download all your media (music, movies, podcasts, etc.) right on the iPad itself, from the built in iTunes store App on iPad.

When it comes to popular movies in our culture, it is amazing to see how many of them had John Williams composing the theme song. Today, we deviate a bit and ask you to pick the better John Williams theme song from the two contenders.
NOTE: This is marked as part one, so you can expect the winner of this poll to go up against another in the future.
30 Comments
Love the Star Wars theme so much better it has that popularity that if it just happens to be playing most people can tell what it is the superman theme i had never heard before ANYWHERE. after listening to it it sounds like an up tempo orchastra song. So Star Wars all the way
This is poll is ironic, since I commonly bring up the fact that these two themes are extremely similar to each other. You can start out singing one and effortlessly transition into the other.
Funny you mention that. Start both clips at the same time and listen. There are times when they blend together in such a way it's hard to pick out which is which, and both themes are structured in a very similar manor. About the time the SW theme slows down for the first time is when the SM theme really picks up…
I played one minute of the Superman theme to get a feel for it. After 18 sec. of the Star Wars theme, the match was OVER. Star Wars starts strong and gets to the hook fast.
Maybe it's juest because of the associations with the character, but it's Superman theme for me. It just sounds somwhow… inspiring.
I'm sorry, Superman theme.
I want to love you but the Star Wars theme has lived on my iPod for years and I owe it loyalty.
Oh man this was hard. But in the end, Superman won. I love them both so very much, but Superman's theme elicits a far deeper emotional response in me. STAR WARS is exciting, but Superman makes my heart soar.
My sentiments exactly.
Both themes have the same formula. Fanfare, Hero's theme, Tender/ Heroine theme.
In short, if ypu listen to one the other or both, then you win.
I voted "Superman", as I've heard the "Star Wars" theme WAY too much in recent years.
I love both, but "Star Wars" overkill has seen my vote fall in favour of the Last Son of Krypton.
Whilst the Star Wars theme has stood the test of time better, as a standalone musical piece;the poll is regarding the better THEME song. The Superman theme not only evokes dizzying sentiments of flying, falling in love and triumph, it conjurs in my head scenes and dialogue from the film. It's the better ambassador of its film; despite both works being tremendously successful though derivative (*coff* Prokofiev *coff* Brahms) works.
To quote Matthew (or Futurama if you wanna be nitpicky): "you are bad and you should feel bad!", this is evil in so many ways, it's literaly which kids you like more! Oh well, someone has to burn with the house I guess…
While both are superb I prefer superman's better because it has a more nice/happy/upbeat sound to it, Star Wars is more dark and mysterious.
Vote for the next poll, Indiana Jones theme is better then Star Wars, pretty much the same reason as above.
As a John Williams fan, that's hard! Both are great and iconic themes. I love them both. Since my wife can recognize Star Wars 100% of the time and Superman sometimes, I will have to go with Star Wars.
Star Wars without a doubt. It is far more memorable, and has penetrated the collective consciousness of the country in a way that only a few other orchestral songs have. It is right up there with "Flight of the Valkyries" and "Beethoven's 9th Symphony" in terms of recognizability.
Ughhh, I love them both so much. I was just listening to the Superman theme the other day and thinking how cool it was. Alas . . .
I think the Star Wars theme does so much in setting up the grandiose nature of the franchise. This is in no small part due to the famous opening scrolling summary Star Wars uses, but all and all, the theme gets you pumped for the story as a whole. On the other hand, I feel Superman gets you pumped for the action but everything else else.
I gotta go Star Wars just for that intro, but really, aren't they the same song? Have you ever really heard them in the same place at the same time?
I love the Star Wars theme. Absolutely. But I have to say, the Superman theme elicits a much more visceral emotional response. So I'm going with that one.
But I have to say: riding my motorcycle while listening to the "Last Crusade" theme just might beat everything.
To me, this is about which piece of music elicits the stronger emotional response. I think the Superman theme is better composed and arranged, but I did not vote for it. I hear the Superman theme, and I think of Superman. I hear the Star Wars theme, and I can smell the popcorn-and-faint-cat-piss smell of the living room where I first watched A New Hope at the age of probably four or five. I can close my eyes and see every last detail of that room, and though I'm certainly getting most of it wrong, I'm -there-, man, and I'm amazed, and I don't completely comprehend what's going on, but there's dudes with glowy swords and spaceships and lasers and they're talking a bunch and I actually don't mind the talking because it's all SO FREAKING COOL.
The Star Wars theme is more powerful to me because of that- because I grew up watching Star Wars, and I have thousands of warm fuzzy memories of it, whereas the Superman movies were just movies to me. It really depends on what the individual voter saw first and loved more. For me, it was Star Wars. For others, the Superman theme recalls memories as strong as mine. For others, it's the Jurassic Park theme, or the five-note message in Close Encounters, or one of the many well-known Star Trek pieces. Your mileage may vary. For me, the better theme is Star Wars.
first, i dont like the old superman films. but the theme goes above and beyond the movie alone.. it does capture the feeling of a super hero flying through the sky. i hear that theme when im reading a superman comic.
but then theres that damned intro to star wars. and i do love me some star wars. looking around me now lets see… replica trooper helmet… check… two force fx lightsabers.. check… played the star wars rpg in the last 3 days… check… im a geek for star wars in short.
this was a hell of a question.. one i think i could answer differently depending on my mood. sorry luke, han, but that theme IS super man and im going with that one this time around.
now, vader's theme, the imperial march vs superman's theme… (also would make an interesting "what if" issue) id have to go with the dark side on that one.
Oooooo, this was a gooooood one!
Really tough. Both of these yank my heart out of my chest and remind me of when I could completely immerse myself in the fantasy of a man who could fly or a muppet who could mangle sentences.
In the end, I wound up going with Star Wars, but more out of reflex. The theme (or versions of it) found its way into 6 movies and untold spin-offs (video games, cartoons, the holiday special, etc.).
Star wars still gets me all tingly inside.
I'm sure this is a silly reason but from my prep band days in high school playing trumpet I love the Superman theme a lot more than Star Wars. That is not to say the Star War theme doesn't have a lot for a trumpet player to love but slower build of the Superman theme just makes those high notes really stand out more in my mind.
But neither song is Apache.
Both of these themes bring me back to my days in band. Ah, good times.
Tough choice!
Star Wars starts strong which is great, but there comes a point where it feels like the music fades to make way for the film itself, while Superman seems to say "I'm the damn theme and I'm going to finish, by God! The movie can wait!"
Its for this reason as well as the general feeling of inspiration the Superman Theme makes me feel that I went with Supes.
It has nothing to do with having a solo within that song back in my high school band days. Honest.
This was a tough one. Both are iconic themes, both are similar and both evoke images of the films, even thirty-plus years later! But I had to go with Superman theme. The Star Wars theme is too closely tied to the opening scenes of the original Star Wars film. The Superman theme is a bit more generic and thus stands alone as a piece of classical music just a shade better. But, really, the difference is minute. Admittedly, the Star Wars movies are better films and have held up better than the Superman movies. Another thing both themes have in common is that they have been played to death over the years! But having to pick between them is a lot like asking which of two twin sisters you'd rather date.
Both are on my iPod. And the Superman theme is always in the recently played list and Star Wars not. I like them both, but Superman wins by a noticeable amount.
That and if I sleep in to long the Wonderful Wife plays the Superman theme to get me out of bed.
I've never been much of a John Williams fan. ALL of his music has sounded just like ALL of his other music. Especially those for Spielburg or Lucas. Of the two clips you chose (realizing there are different mixes of the same music with different lengths), the Star Wars theme looses steam just past half way and kind of wanders around looking for something to do. I've never like soundtrack albums or songs that just had "space" in the songs. This includes the soundtrack to 2001: A Space Odyssey. I know someone has to compose the "space" but it just seems like white noise to me. Superman seems to flow throughout the entire piece, though it is much longer. Superman also seems to be more complicated with more instruments.
How can you judge the song without judging the movie. What would be interesting is to hear from those who chose the theme song from the movie they don't like as well. This is probably a small number of people.
Hi, James, have to agree with you. I can name other soundtracks from other movies that envoke fandom's emotions that would take a bit and don't have the time to expand futher on the subject. Both soundtracks for me are a tie. They are tied to a movie itself…….

Back in January, when 2013 was still a brand new year, all shiny and fresh, I was driving to Pawling Central School, to give my first post-Midway talk about plastic. Readers of this blog will recall that in my last post, I wrote briefly about Skyping with a couple of 7th grade science classes from that very school, on the topic of the highly endangered Laysan Duck. Well, the teacher I had been working on that project with, along with my tech-loving aunt, thought it would be totally awesome if I gave a talk in person; surprise the kids, talk trash and have some cool giveaways. It was a perfect idea and so, with my brother as my trusty co-pilot and media man (thanks, Pat!) we were off with 15 pounds of Midway plastic in tow.
The target audience for this talk was middle school students, specifically 7th and 8th graders. For comparison, the last talk I gave before heading to Midway was in front of Seventh Generation staff members and their Board of Directors. So, as you can imagine, I had to tweak the presentation to fit the audience, which it turns out is actually a ton of fun; figuring out how to get the same message across but in a different way – so interesting!
I took the students through my SEA experience, senior capstone completion at UMaine and ended with the Midway craziness. All of the plastic I brought back with me was laid out for them to see and touch. Watching their faces when I held up various odds and ends (jars of bottle caps, plastic inhalers) was a grounding moment: the idea of plastic pollution becomes real when someone's waving a jar of plastic at you found in the middle of nowhere…
We ended the morning with a raffle of various awesome plastic-free products: Glass Dharma straws (woot woot!), Lunchskins sandwich bags, stainless steel water bottles, To-Go Ware utensil kits and even some defunct Laysan Duck bird bands! It was so fun and the kids really got into it, which made me happy. They seemed to understand that they can make a difference by doing little things and that by having a bamboo fork and glass straws, they can very easily offset their plastic footprint. I was totally inspired by their enthusiasm and it gave me renewed excitement to do this again and again and again…well, you get the idea.
I want people to know about this issue and know that it's not all doom and gloom. I want people to understand why it's important to care about albatross dying in the Pacific from our plastic trash and to bring that connection full circle. I realize that we live in a time of global economies and a constant demand for stuff, stuff and more stuff…but if we can start to figure out how to rework that model so we're not trashing the planet, we'd all be better off.
The purpose of this post was not only to recount my fantastic experience in southern NY, but to start a conversation. For anyone reading this blog who thinks they know of an audience that would gravitate towards this issue, I say, it's time to talk trash. Let's figure out a way to make this subject more approachable to all audiences and stop the madness. Finding trash in animals and knowing it's ending up in our food supply is getting kind of old, quite frankly, and I'm ready to move past waste. Who's with me?

A couple of weeks ago, we saw an example of Superman's ego. Now, sadly, we see another of the Man of Steel's negative traits. Did you know Superman actually has a temper?
It's rare to see it, but…
Yeesh! I wouldn't want to piss him off! (And for those of you wondering — the skullish looking guy floating behind him is a ghost super-hero named Deadman. Hence his little "killing me" pun.)
Perhaps as interesting as an uncharacteristic (and potentially planet-shattering) outburst from the Last Son of Krypton, though, is this bit from the issue's Q&A column:
You don't suppose it could be…that John Green, do you?
Probably not.1
(From DC Comics Presents #24, August 1980. Written by Len Wein. Art by José Luis Garcia-Lopez.)
- John would have probably been in kindergarten at the time. Doesn't mean he didn't write that question, but the odds are not…and I'm racing to put this up online, so I don't have time to ask him.↩

Perfume (3 x 60′ ) – Documentary series about the global perfume industry explores the astonishing creativity behind a commodity that uses single molecules to whisper to the subconscious, trigger memories and spark the emotions. From inside this multi-billion-dollar business, the series follows the stories of perfumers, scientists and marketing gurus, plus celebrities who lend their names to a few ounces of fluid in the hope of striking it rich.
Spending a year with the chemical corporations that rule the mass-market and the ancient houses that produce famous classics, the series reveals the questions obsessing the industry: How much is too much? Could the plethora of smell-alikes topple scent from its luxury pedestal? And what should they do when the average consumer is no longer a well-heeled Western woman, but a cash-rich worker in rural China?
This is truly a fascinating insight into the world surrounding perfume.
