When Helen Kimsey celebrated her 100th birthday earlier this year, she was proud to receive a telegram from the Queen.
However, her family claim she did not receive the same respect from Lincoln County Hospital.
Mrs Kimsey was admitted to hospital on September 6 after suffering a minor stroke at her nursing home in Tattershall.
She was released on September 11 and family members say they were assured an ambulance would transport her from Lincoln to Tattershall.
However, it has emerged Mrs Kimsey - wearing her nightie and dressing gown - was put on a 'mini bus', alongside day patients.
She then had to endure a two-hour and 10-minute journey around Lincolnshire as the mini bus made various 'drop offs'.
Staff and family members had been expecting her in Tattershall at 5pm but it was just before 7pm when the mini bus arrived.
Now, the family have branded the decision to use a 'mini bus' as a "disgrace."
They fear Mrs Kimsey might not recover from the experience and say it has left them feeling "sick to the stomach."
Grandson, Paul Kimsey, told the News: "My mum and dad were at the hospital and they were assured an ambulance would be available.
"They would never have left her if they thought she'd be put on a mini bus.
"She was still wearing the clothing she had on when she was admitted,
"She was confused and can't have had any idea what was happening.
"Before all this, she was mostly deaf and blind, but she had all her faculties about her and you could sit and hold any topic of conversation with her.
"Now, she is now a shell of the person she was and we wonder whether she will ever recover.
"Whatever the reasons, she didn't deserve this.
"We are all very upset.
Mr Kimsey added: "You hear of youngsters who are picked up by private mini cabs to get them to training courses on a daily basis and then my nan - in her state and years - had to endure what she did.
"It makes you feel sick to the stomach,"
The family, who live near Woodhall Spa, say they have decided to speak out because of mounting concerns about NHS provision in the area.
The United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust, which is responsible for Lincoln County Hospital, is already under fire for failing to meet Government targets.
Mr Kimsey said the family feared on-going problems in the NHS - combined with proposed changes to ambulance services in the area - would add to any current concerns .
A spokesman for the United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust apologised to Mrs Kimsey and her family but stressed she was transported in an appropriate vehicle.
She said ambulances were not usually called on for transportation purposes because they were needed for emergencies.
She said: "We would like to apologise to Mrs Kimsey and her family for the misunderstanding around how she was going to be transported home from hospital.
"We take every complaint very seriously and strongly encourage Mrs Kimsey's family to contact the Trust directly so we can work with them to resolve any issues.
"The standard procedure is that when a patient is well enough to be discharged from hospital, they are taken home by our transport provider NSL Care Services in appropriate transportation, which is usually a non-emergency ambulance that can transport more than one patient.
"Any issues relating to safety and quality of care for patients are taken very seriously and we continuously strive to improve our services."

A new chapter is opening for Europe's rail sector with MEPs' adoption, on 3 July in Strasbourg, of the recast of European railway legislation, the result of a compromise hammered out with the Council, on 13 June, after two years of tough negotiations (see Europolitics 4447). The text, which still has to be formally adopted in Council, spells out the role of and relations between states, transport companies, infrastructure managers and regulators (whose powers will be increased by this reform) to guarantee the existence of effective competition on national networks.
All those concerned are already looking towards the future - which is very near since the European Commission will present, by 31 December 2012, a new rail package that will complete the liberalisation that began at the start of the 2000s. The date is written into the compromise adopted on 3 July and Transport Commissioner Siim Kallas confirmed that he would respect it.
The liberalisation of national passenger transport and the separation of infrastructure management and transport activities ('unbundling') will be at the heart of the new reforms. These are extremely sensitive issues that stir reactions in associations representing the sector (see separate article). They were already adopting positions in Strasbourg. Rapporteur Debora Serracchiani (S&D, Italy) repeated that she backed a total separation between infrastructure managers and transport companies. The rapporteur tried to include this requirement in her report at first reading, but was forced to back down in the face of the reluctance of her fellow MEPs to address these questions now. During the plenary debate, Said El Khadraoui (Belgium), speaking on behalf of the S&D group, explained that, with the liberalisation of passenger transport, this was "one of the very important issues" being postponed until the end of the year and assured that his group would see to it that these reforms are not implemented at the expense of workers' rights and protection. Gilles Pargneaux (France), a member of the same group, called for a halt to "considering liberalisation of the rail sector as the only strategic horizon for the development of a single rail area". On unbundling, Philippe De Backer (ALDE, Belgium) noted that the fourth rail package "must create separate accounting," while Isabelle Durant (Greens-EFA, Belgium) said she sees "no need to rush into this one size fits all model today". This is just an inkling of upcoming debates.
The Commission knows it is walking on eggs and it is hard for now to say how far its proposals will go. Will they succeed in banning the holding company model cherished by Germany?

Vitamin B12 Injectable vs oral
what are your thoughs
Ya know, there is a BOATLOAD of information on Methyl B12 injectable on this site. Why don't ya search for it.
basically its not worth it. Unless you are very very in depth into stuff that may require sufficent and surplus B12 its a waste. My Dr. was willing to scribe it to me but wanted to check the levels 1st, said i have elevated levels and decided to wait. I get to come in after a month or so for free blood work and he said he will see then.
Oral is a HUGE was of money, bio-avail rate is like 10% or some ridiculously low number.
Why do you want it?

In Missouri, a worker's injury is deemed to arise out of and in the course of her employment if it did not come from a hazard or risk to which she would have been equally exposed in her normal nonemployment life.
Case name: Johme v. St. John's Mercy Healthcare, No. SC92113 (Mo. 05/29/12).
Ruling: The Missouri Supreme Court held that a representative was not entitled to compensation for her fall at work because her injury did not arise out of and in the course of her employment.
Summary: A billing representative's job involved typing charges at a computer in an office. The employer provided a coffee station for employees. It was customary for the employee who took the last cup of coffee to make another pot of coffee. The representative was injured in a fall after she made a pot of coffee. She was wearing sandals with a thick heel and a flat bottom. There were no irregularities or hazards on the kitchen floor. The representative explained that as she turned to walk back to her desk, her foot fell off of her shoe and she fell. She sought workers' compensation benefits. The Missouri Supreme Court held that she was not entitled to benefits.
The court explained that the focus should not be on whether the representative's activity of making coffee was incidental to her employment. The issue was whether the cause of her injury had a causal connection to her work activity. No evidence showed that she was not equally exposed to the cause of her injury while in her workplace making coffee than she would have been when she was outside of her workplace in her "normal nonemployment life."
A dissenting judge opined that the representative was entitled to benefits because the injury was caused by a work-related risk. The judge said that under the majority's opinion, workers in sedentary jobs "will be barred from obtaining workers' compensation benefits when they are injured while performing many of their work-related tasks."

Accepted a position and felt in over your head?I accepted a postion as a Practice Manager for the hospital where I work. I oversee 3 seperate practices, 9 physicians, 44 employees total. After I accepted the position, have worked several days, I am starting to feel as if I am in over my head. Please share your experiences of accepting a promotion and feeling this way.

During Duvall's recent Sandblast festival, Dylan Hardwick and his father, Dan, worked to create this very cool sea star right on the riverbank.
CARNATION–The Sno-Valley Senior Center has received federal funding through CDBG to do an extensive remodel on the center, including retro-fitting sprinklers and filling in the soaring hall with program rooms upstairs.
As a result, the center will be needing to relocate for the fall and anticipates moving in the last few weeks of August, just down the road to a local camp. The center expects to be at that camp location for 4-6 months.
Staff are working to get all of the phone numbers and connectivity transferred, and program coordinator, Kate Miller, has been busy coordinating with various programs for the move. Visit snovalleysenior.org for more information.
Claire Mitchell, youth member of the Duvall Libary Board, and Board Chair Paige Denison both spoke at the library groundbreaking ceremony. Claire has just finished her term as youth (student) member. Interested students are encouraged to apply to the board. Applications are available from the city. Lisa Allen/Staff photo The Duvall Library has come a long way from its early beginnings in a small store to the busy branch of the King County Library System it is today. Now a new facility is in the process of construction next to The Duvall Church.
Groundbreaking for the new structure took place July 14th. Speakers included King County Councilmember Kathy Lambert, who told the audience she just loves reading. "All the precious memories of my life revolve around books," she said. "Libraries are a huge part of our culture ... This 8,000 square-foot structure is at the gateway to the Duvall community."
KCLS Board of Trustees member Rob Spitzer visualized "the amazing picture of a tranquil rural place in the county to create a perfect balance between that and the world … thanks to the foresight of voters who passed the bond measure in 2004. Because of that it will continue to provide this great investment. This is a great day for the community."
Speakers noted that it was especially gratifying that the library will continue to stay in the downtown area, which was what most residents had indicated they preferred.
Ray Johnston of Johnston Architects, the designer of the building, stated that the new library will be "in the perfect place in the center of the community."
Library Board Chair Paige Denison said she was "thrilled to be a part of this long-awaited event." She thanked The Duvall Church "who brought the availability of this property to the board."
Although a completion date has not yet been set, King County Library System (KCLS) officials expect the new facility will be completed sometime next year.
According to local historian Tove Burhen, the original library was a project of the Duvall Civic Club, which was organized by a group of local women in the 1920s.
"The idea was 'to do good deeds,' and putting together a lending library was one of them," Burhen said. "They held fundraisers, brought books of their own and then dressed up, went to Seattle and bought books which they put in a corner of a small store."
Then in the 1930s, she said, the WPA (Works Progress Administration) was able to get lumber from a building being torn down and so the library was built. It was a small building, but doubled as a meeting place, she said, with enough room for a desk, a sofa for folks to sit and read and a place to serve coffee and food – and the books, of course.
The Civic Club raised money for the first addition which was the one on the left of the building where the children's section is now. Somewhere along the line, the Civic Club gave the building to the city. The addition towards the rear of the building was built in 1993.
In the same year, the city held a special election asking voters to approve an annexation into the King County Library System.
Prior to that, the city had contracted for services with the King County Rural Library District (KCLS).
The new 8,000 square-foot library will be paid for by a $172 million capital bond which was approved by voters to fund major upkeep and expansion of KCLS libraries.
The new Duvall library will include a community meeting room, children's and teen areas and space for studying and reading.
KCLS is the largest library system in the nation, recently surpassing Queens, New York.
The King County Library System was recently named Library of the Year by Gale and Library Journal.
The event will be held Saturday, Aug. 27.
"This is a rare opportunity for the public to see what we are doing," said Bob Dawson of Macaw Rescue & Sanctuary. "These places are usually closed to the public."
Dawson has rescued over 400 birds from people who can no longer care for them or from ex-breeders.
"These tough economic times force people to give up their birds," he said.
Dawson explained that the birds are kept together in groups in as natural conditions as possible, "so they can keep each other company and take care of themselves."
The BBQ begins at 1 p.m. and the auction at 3:30. Those attending can enjoy chicken/ribs or a vegetarian option with trimmings, refreshments and dessert.
The other rescue groups involved are Mollywood Parrot Rescue & Sanctuary and Zazu's House Parrot Sanctuary.
Tickets are $20 per person in advance. Contact email@example.com with your name, address and number of people that will attend. Please send payments to Macaw Rescue & Sanctuary, 34032 NE Lake Joy Road, Carnation, WA 98014.
For information on the sanctuary and auction items, visit macawrescueandsanctuary.org. If you have items you would like to donate, please contact email@example.com.

Former West Brom midfielder Robert Koren scored the winner 11 minutes from time to give Slovenia a 1-0 victory over 10-man Algeria and send the Eastern Europeans top of Group C. In what was a particularly dire game the Slovenia Captain scored from just outside the box with a curling shot which Algeria goalkeeper Faouzi Chaouchi badly misjudged and allowed to squirm past him into the corner of the net. It is the second goalkeeping mistake in as many days in Group C after England's Robert Green allowed Clint Dempsey's weak effort to trickle past him and into the back of the net for the United States' equaliser.
Slovenia Coach Matjez Kek believes the 1-0 victory is a real boost for his side and after the game he said: "It was a mental victory, we wanted to win so much so it's great for our confidence to get that win." With that said, Slovenia players can bask in the glory of picking up their first ever World Cup win after they fell at the first hurdle in Japan and Korea in 2002, recording no points and scoring just twice. Coach Kek sent out his strongest side and included the experienced goalkeeper Samir Handanovic, top-scorer in qualifying Milivoje Novakovic and the influential Koren to bolster his side's chances. Despite this, the Slovenians started nervously as they lined up in a straight forward 4-4-2 formation with Zlatko Dedic supporting Novakovic in attack. This did not prove to cause the Desert Foxes many problems as it took Slovenia almost 44 minutes to conjure up anything of note.
As the second half got under way in the heat of the Peter Mokaba Stadium, there was little improvement in the style of play from both teams. Algeria, however, looked the more likely to make anything happen with the imposing threat of Portsmouth's wide-man Nadir Belhadj. As the Africans slowly pressed for the opening goal Slovenia seemed to persevere with their static play and looked like they would be happy to settle for a point. Kek needs to marshal his troops in a much more positive fashion if they are to pull off a shock and gain further points from England and the United States. It would be unusual for the Coach to drastically change system now but something needs to be modified in their game play if they are to succeed.
Handanovic looks like a very solid goalkeeper between the sticks and Novakovic will almost certainly be relied upon to be their main goal threat. Koren needs to keep the tenacious mentality that saw him named West Brom Player of the Year in 2008 if Kek's team are to progress. Elsewhere the defence of Bojan Jokic, Marko Suler, Miso Brecko and Bostjan Cesar looked anxious throughout and communication was clearly a problem. It can be plain for all to see that the Slovenians are a nervous bunch and who can blame them - the majority of the team play for small clubs and are not used to playing in front of such a large audience. Kek may give Inter Milan youngster Rene Krhin a chance to impress in midfield, adding more bite and purpose, something which was really lacking yesterday. Defensively the four who played were very unconvincing and do not be surprised to see Lokomotiv Moscow's experienced Branko Ilic preferred in the heart of the defence. With no injuries to report, expect an almost unchanged team for the United States game - albeit with the potential inclusion of Krhlin and Ilic and the standard 4-4-2 set up looks probable.
Although the Slovenians did manage to nick a win - albeit with the help of a red card to Algerian substitute Abdelkader Ghezzal for two quick yellow cards - confidence and hard work remain key to progression. Their passing was sloppy throughout and this is another area that Kek must address if his vulnerable team are to have any chance of snatching something from the USA in their next fixture. Kek had earlier emphasized: "The most difficult thing in football is to play with an eye-catching style and win games but that's what we will try to do because playing a destructive game with 10 men behind the ball is not my philosophy."
Interesting words from the Coach who, if he sets his stall out like this again, will see the humble Slovenians brushed aside with ease in their two remaining games.

2012 Award Winners HOTEL OF THE YEAR 2012
Ballynahinch Castle Hotel, Recess, Connemara, Co Galway
A winter visit to our Hotel of the Year confirmed all of our previous good feelings about this wonderful place, and set the benchmark against which the season's visits were judged – in fact, surprisingly, all of the hotels we stayed in on our first chilly trip of the year (to the blustery West of Ireland) compared very favourably with later season experiences throughout the country.
It was the end of January and, ominously perhaps, the last night before the hotel's annual closure. But – in sharp contrast to comparable end of season experiences in recent weeks - not for one moment was there the slightest sense of an hotel in wind-down mode.
The fires burned just as brightly as usual, furniture gleamed, fresh flowers rose perkily from their vases, rooms were warm and welcoming, dinner was as interesting, beautifully cooked and leisurely as ever, breakfast was the usual sumptuous feast of all the good things that a person might need to set them up for several days – and the friendly staff chatted away as if the last thing on their minds was the 4-week holiday that would begin when we'd all checked out.
Ballynahinch Castle is a wonderful place; the perfect Irish country hotel it is a cosy and characterful haven set against a ruggedly handsome landscape. It's the real Ireland that we're all hoping for when we go for a break - and it reminded me of the famous words of the great Hilary Rubinstein (founding editor of the Good Hotel Guide): 'A good hotel is where the guest comes first'. Enough said.

Talk Business has learned that today the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has approved the sale of 26 former Alltel properties to Atlantic Tele-Network, Inc., parent company of Little Rock-based Atlantic Wireless Communications Corp. (AWCC).
The sale will affect nearly 800,000 customers in Idaho, Illinois, Ohio, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia.
Approval of the deal by the Federal Communications Commission is still pending.
The DOJ has not signed off on the sale of the former Alltel properties to AT&T, which was part of a divesture move required by federal regulators when Verizon Wireless bought Alltel Wireless in 2009.
The DOJ approval moves closure of the long-running transition one step closer. Ultimately, employees that have been running the divested properties will find employment with the new property owners or their employment could be terminated.

Found November 23, 2012 on
Fox Sports Southwest:
ARLINGTON, Texas Jerry Jones is possibly the best salesman in NFL history. The man could find a way to put a positive spin on a 0-16 season. But not even the normally optimistic Cowboys owner and general manager seemed upbeat when asked several times about playoff possibilities following the Cowboys' 38-31 Thanksgiving Day loss to the Washington Redskins at Cowboys Stadium.
"All I can do is just sit here and look at the numbers," Jones said Thursday, standing in the Cowboys locker room. "It looks like our best opportunity would be to end up with the best record in the NFC East. I don't know what that's going to be. I don't know if 8-8 will get it there or not, and I sure don't know if we're going to be 8-8.
"I'm not trying to be negative, but we've got to play these guys again. With how impressed I am with how they played, we've got our hands full up there for the last ballgame."
Wait, was that really Jerry Jones?
Yes, and he continued with the same tone.
"I'm just like everybody," Jones said. "I see our numbers. I see where we are. I see how we played against this team."
He added: "I'm very disappointed. I thought this was a critical game for us because it was with a division opponent."
At 5-6, the Cowboys currently sit in 11th place out of 16 NFC teams, a game and a half back of the Seattle Seahawks for the final Wild Card spot and a game and a half back of the New York Giants for the NFC East lead.
Passing the Seahawks is unrealistic because they own the tiebreaker over the Cowboys from a defeat earlier this year.
To complicate things further, the Redskins, who the Cowboys play in Week 17, also possess a 5-6 record.

Following today's comic, Wilford will be on a short hiatus. Don't worry he's not done yet. As if. He'll be back for the glorious part 5 in a couple of weeks. More fab than ever. In the meantime, I hope you'll miss him just a tiny bit.
Oh, and if you're all new to Wilford Pjok, go here for part 1.
You take a long hard look in the mirror and ask yourself; "is this the first time we've come across Madam Crux on Anyone for Rhubarb?". The mirror answers "Don't degrade yourself like that. You're an embarrassment. Is that even your real hair or is it some kind of awful dog, that's also a hat?". Suddenly it's clear. You got to get yourself a new mirror. You just GOT to.
Sorry for the rather late update. Life happened. Ka-pow! I hope you can muster a little love for this one anyways.
I predict Madam Crux will be a returning character. Then again, maybe not. Last I've heard she's talking major movie deals with George Lucas. ON THE PHONE!
I'm watching Fringe and reading an abundance of superhero related comics at the moment. This may be an unhealthy cocktail.
The Rhubarb trivia: The depicted super heroines are of course DC Comic's Wonder Woman(Wikipedia) and Power Girl(Wikipedia). The two villainous teen geniuses are neither here nor there.
Forget Secret Invasion, Civil War, Crisis on Infinite Earths, Blackest Night or any other so called "crossover event" in the history of comics you might have read or heard about. This is the one everybody's gonna be talking about. Even your wife/husband, mayor or mysterious slender man only visible through your peripheral vision. They will all want to start conversations around this topic and believe you me, you want to have some insights to offer for when that time comes.
Moreover, if you felt happy for the first time in 7 years reading this, perhaps you should also consider giving this little piece I did on the Avengers a go. It's right here.
I know my version of Godzilla doesn't look like most of the numerous movie variants. Actually it's probably all wrong. Too green, weird dorsal fins, stupid roar and that sort of thing. I'm not much of a Godzilla expert admittedly, and apparently a sloppy researcher too. I hope to change this someday though. Yes, my dream is to one day become an all-knowing Godzilla expert and the worlds greatest slap-bass player/researcher. Until then, you'll probably have to do with sorry movie monster specimens like this.

Paul Anka
Paul Anka
One of the biggest teen idols of the late '50s, Paul Anka moved to the adult sphere several years later and became a successful performer, songwriter, music businessman, and recording artist, remaining so well into the new millennium. Born in Ottawa, Ontario, in 1941 to parents of Lebanese Christian descent who owned a local restaurant, Anka proved a child prodigy, beginning his show business life at the age of 12 as an impressionist. By the age of 14, he was stealing the family car to drive to amateur singing contests in nearby Hull, Quebec, and writing his own songs. His first single, "I Confess," appeared on the Riviera subsidiary of Jules and Joe Bihari's RPM label. While on a trip to New York with a group of friends who sang as the Rover Boys, Anka gained an audition with ABC producer Don Costa, and sang his own composition, "Diana," an ode to a former babysitter. Costa liked what he heard, recorded the teenager, and watched as the single hit number one on both sides of the Atlantic later in 1957, eventually selling a reported ten million copies worldwide.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Feds blamed for poor response to evacuees
Single staffer shouldered burden 24/7
Months before the flood-evacuee fiasco made headlines, a federal review had already pinpointed problems with the handling of displaced Manitoba aboriginals -- and laid the blame on Aboriginal Affairs Canada.
The Manitoba Association of Native Fire Fighters, the agency responsible for the delivery of assistance, largely escaped criticism in the explosive report posted on the Aboriginal Affairs website.
The report -- Review of the Performance of the Emergency Management Assistance Program during the 2011-2012 Manitoba Floods -- is based on an extensive review of documents and interviews with people directly involved in the evacuations. Its focus was the federal department.
The 33-page report concludes the problems with handling more than 2,000 evacuees stuck in hotels after extensive flooding on six Interlake First Nations, wasn't the fault of the First Nations or MANFF.
That agency, which handled the bills came in for a single criticism, also laid at Ottawa's door: "The funding arrangement with (MANFF) does not include (a requirement) for maintaining evacuee lists or a dispute mechanism (for) disagreements with evacuees."
The biggest problem was the department and its administrative process. The report concluded the regional office in Winnipeg was overwhelmed by the sheer volume of needs from so many evacuees during the extended period of time.
-- federal report on Manitoba flood evacuees
The report identified one key issue: The entire flood-assistance program fell on the overburdened shoulders of a single department official in Winnipeg. As a result, there was one problem after another.
"The emergency-management system essentially depended on one person, which is unreasonable given the breadth of the issues that arose during this emergency.
"The result was that the emergency-management co-ordinator was on standby 24 hours a day for months. (He) essentially spent his time trying to address each crisis as they came up... Every stakeholder group identified this as the key issue that needs to be resolved for the system to start functioning properly."
The dates of the report -- a draft of the internal review is dated June 2012 and an executive summary was done by January 2013 -- raise more red flags.
Those dates indicate federal officials knew months ahead of everyone else that assistance for evacuees and the flood-assistance program had broken down.
Reports of unpaid hotel bills, made public by Gimli-based Misty Lake Lodge owner Michael Bruneau, didn't surface until months after the draft was finished. It was only a few weeks ago Bruneau was finally paid more than $2 million in hotel and food bills for evacuees in Gimli and another hotel he owns in Ashern.
The report also suggested the extent of the disaster appeared to be far greater than anyone outside government imagined.
It showed Ottawa ponied up $84 million in total funding for evacuees and flood mitigation in 2010, 2011 and up to March 31, 2012. That sum exceeds the $70-odd million for First Nations that served as the public benchmark for disaster-assistance funding up to May this year.
And while most public statements focused on flooding at six First Nations, the problem affected more than four times that number of communities.
"During the 2011-2012 Manitoba flood, the federal government came to the aid of 27 First Nations with flood fighting and the evacuation of 12 communities."
More than 2,400 people were evacuated.
Interlake First Nations were particularly vulnerable to flooding because many were in the path of flood diversions built to protect Winnipeg, but they were also the least prepared to cope with them, the reported noted. "There were very few structural... measures in First Nation communities to limit the impact of floods," the report said.
The report suggested the federal government acted quickly to get people away from flooding, but it was a different story for the homes they abandoned. A combination of factors was to blame, including poor administrative planning, the absence of evacuation and flood-mitigation protocols and building practices that failed to take floods into account. When the one-in-300-year flood, hit, the communities were swamped.
The federal emergency-assistance program was relatively new, the review said, having been drafted in 2005. An evaluation in 2010 called for better links between the federal government and external agencies. But none of that was ready when the flood hit.
"It became clear that the emergency-management system was being stretched to the limit of its capacity and (emergency assistance) was not able to muster the required 'surge' capacity to deal with the situation in an effective way," the report concluded.
"Finally, a lack of clearly defined governance structure affected the co-operation with stakeholders necessary for an effective First Nations emergency-management system in Manitoba."
The report recommends a major overhaul of disaster assistance within Aboriginal Affairs Canada.
With flooding a fact of life in Manitoba, what should the federal government do to better respond to that reality? Join the conversation in the comments below.

I make this every winter. Everyone loves it. As a plus, it fights off colds! I don't use the cream; it makes the soup too heavy. If you have vegetarians in your life, you can easily substitute vegetable stock for the chicken stock.
Fine recipe, simple and rather quick compared to some others. I switched the fatty cheese to silken tofu and the creamer to non-dairy creamer which worked just fine ( I'm vegan if you didn't guess). Essentially just those little changes were made and it tasted great
The soup is awesome. I just cant restrain myself when I am making soup, so it is impossible for me to actually follow the recipe as it is listed. As a result, I added a stalk of celery and a yellow squash. I also used stock from the last time I boiled corn. With all these adjustments I am not sure if the soup I have is actually the soup that was intended. However, it is really good. One problem: This was my first time cooking eggplant. Scoping it out of the skin was not easy as the recipe made it out to be. Trying to remove the skin of a 400 degree vegetable is not fun, and scoping isnt really the action that I did. It was more of a cutting. I needed a fork and a knife. Hints for new cooks: get an emulsifier. They are so much less messy than using a blinder for soups like this.
I didn't have any thyme, but the soup had plenty of flavor from the garlic. Also used creme fraiche instead of cream and goat cheese. It was delicious, but I think I might skin the tomatoes next time.
I was so excited about finding a soup that had the potential to be a great soup loaded with veggies. Sadly it was really boring in taste. I did use sour cream instead of whipping cream to reduce the calories, but I don't think that would have changed the flavor. I think more garlic, spicy peppers or something is needed.
This soup is really quite nice. I added a handful of mushrooms and carrots to the broth (used vegetable instead of chicken). The smell while it was simmering was heavenly. Great flavor and very comforting!
My guests always enjoy this soup. The most important thing to note is that this recipe makes 4 very small portions, suitable for a very shallow soup bowl. I prefer the soup cold, and it definitely needs some cream--but only about 1/3 - 1/2 cup, not a full cup--to give it a lovely texture and taste. I might cut down on the garlic next time. Also, do NOT simmer the soup for 45 minutes--that's way too long--30 minutes is plenty.
I did it without the thyme and instead used some pepper. Very good and great consistency.
We really enjoyed this soup-- didn't need to add the cream. It's simple, easy, tasty and healthy. We'll definitely make it again.
Boring and bland...fostered creativitity, however. Added lots of salt, pepper, garlic, onions and cheese (any kind at this point...brie was around) to rescue the soup, which was very boring and tasteless. Also, reduced the soup to 2/3 its final volume to concentrate the flavours. Do NOT follow the recipe.

Michigan State experienced its second consecutive lightning delay before Saturday's game against South Florida. The student section was reluctant to seek shelter out of fear of losing their hard-earned spots. There was only one man who could solve this standoff. And that man was Tom Izzo.
The beloved basketball coach promised to sit among the students if they complied with the request to vacate their seats. Almost immediately, they obliged.
Izzo made good on his promise, joined the Spartans cheering squad and lent his voice to the frenzy following a touchdown.

F. Scott Fitzgerald famously wrote, 'The rich are different from you and me.' In Sarasota, that means they own all the best houses. For a city its size, Sarasota has an unusual number of homes priced at $4 million-plus — there are 70 currently on the market (compare that with Tampa, with a paltry four, or Orlando, with seven). Common denominators in this uncommon category — a view of the water, lots of space and a hefty dose of glamour. Let's take a look at three of the showplaces that will delight the world's rich when they come to town in search of their dream home …
1. Siesta Key Showplace
859 Siesta Key Circle
Just this side of paradise — it's a 7,800-square-foot mansion set on a peninsula with water on both sides. It has five bedrooms, an elevator and a garage that accommodates eight cars. Designed with a Martha's Vineyard-meets-St. Barts aesthetic, the expansive interior features walnut floors, pecky cypress ceilings and an impressive coral-stone fireplace. The rooms are large and there are a lot of them, plus there are numerous verandas and terraces overlooking the tropical foliage and expansive water views. Of course, there's also a pool and spa, plus a deepwater boat basin. And the neighborhood — Roberts Bay on north Siesta Key — is one of the most desirable in town.
This house is priced at $8.5 million. For more information call Karen Greco, of Michael Saunders & Co., at 504-6927.
2. Longboat Luxury
560 Harbor Point Road
You have to go through two different gates to get to this Longboat Key dream home in prestigious Bay Isles. It's almost new (built in 2011) and was recently featured in the Wall Street Journal. The architectural style is classic Palladian, with symmetrical lines, high ceilings and beautifully composed living spaces. Set on 200 feet of waterfront, with beautiful views of downtown Sarasota and a deepwater boat slip, the home has four bedrooms and five baths in just more than 5,000 square feet. The interior has a breezy, tropical feeling with just the right touch of traditional formality. You also get deeded access to a private beach club and there's golf (45 holes) and all the amenities of the nearby Longboat Key Club (membership optional).
This house is listed at $5.2 million. For more information, call Cheryl Loeffler, of Premier Sotheby's, at 302-9674.
3. Mainland Mansion
1384 Harbor Drive
Recently renovated from top to bottom, this home (originally built in 1996) has a prize location in Harbor Acres — arguably Sarasota's finest mainland neighborhood. Particularly notable are the ultra-glamorous pool and gardens, suitable for some Gatsby-esque entertaining. There's also a 2,500-square-foot garage for the car collector, and the 165-foot seawall can accommodate a large yacht. Inside, you'll find five bedrooms and six-and-a-half baths, in a Tuscan-inspired atmosphere. The lower level contains a game room, bar and fitness room, all with water views. Your neighbors will include the Illinois couple who won the largest Powerball in history. They just bought their own dream home right down the street — for $7.5 million.
This house is listed at $4.59 million. For more information call Kelly Gettel at 315-2525.

LG Phoenix Android 2.3 Gingerbread Update Available
Finally AT&T's LG Phoenix is getting the Android 2.3 Gingerbread update to join the ranks of most Android devices. The downside right now is that the update is not being pushed OTA (over the air). Don't let this get you down though, getting Gingerbread on your LG Phoenix is not a hard process.
Preparation for the LG Phoenix Android 2.3 Gingerbread Update:
- Fully charge the battery.
- Save any important data before updating the software on your device; i.e. contacts, images, etc.
- Remove the micro SD memory card.
- Close all open applications on your computer before proceeding with the update.
- Ensure device "Mass storage only" mode is not selected. Application -> Settings -> SD card & phone storage.
How to Install the Android 2.3 Gingerbread Update on the LG Phoenix:
- Install the LG United Mobile Driver - Windows XP, Vista, and Win7
- Install the LG Mobile Support Tool(PC only) - Windows XP, Vista, and Win7
- Connect Device and Start Update
- Connect your phone to your PC using the USB cable included with your device.
- Do not tap "Turn on USB storage" on your phone screen.
- Do not disconnect the USB cable until the update is complete.
- If you experience errors, check USB connection or try another port.
- Click 'Start Updating' within the LG Mobile Support tool to begin.
- If your phone software upgrade stops before it has completed, please do not close the update tool and try the update again.
- The handset is automatically reset during this process.
- When upgrade is complete, turn on your phone and complete phone setup.
Another negative for some users is that the update software is not available for the Mac and you will need a Windows machine to complete the process. Let us know what you think of the update and if you run into any issues.

Allow me to be a contrarian here: all of the Constitution's Bill of Rights have limitations, and that includes the First Amendment.
The KKK should not be allowed to demonstrate in Memphis because of the racial tinderbox this place is (if you don't believe that, read some of the comments on this forum). All that would be required to ignite the smoldering racial fear and hatred that exists here into full-blown violence is a KKK demonstration.
Memphis MUST do everything in its power to prevent the KKK from demonstrating, if nothing else, to show the world we are not willing to be be made victims, VOLUNTARILY, of these domestic terrorists. If we don't do that, the world will assume we're oK with allowing these jerks to have their way with us.
If that means the KKK sues the city to force it to allow the demonstration, and if a court says the city has to issue a permit, so be it. At least we won't be seen as having taken this threat to social order in our community lying down. Besides which, I think the city can make a plausible legal argument against allowing the demonstration to take place.
The problem is, you can't punish people for things you expect them to do. You have to wait until they do something. And it has to be the same people -- you can't punish them for things people like them have done in the past.
Also, you may be willing to spend the tax dollars on what would likely be considered a frivolous lawsuit, but in a realistic sense, the city doesn't have any extra cash sitting around.

Anonymous asked: What would you like to do with your degree?

This is too funny!
This might sound silly, but one of the things I'm thankful for everyday of my life is that I'm not a slave to coffee or tea.
I kno way too many ppl who can't function without a cup or two of either, sometimes both. My life is too hectic for me go off somewhere every morning and waste money on a fix. I do enjoy coffee, super sweet and very light, on the rare occasion (like 5 times a year, tops) and I can't stand tea other than the iced and sweetened variety
