The operating theatre is one of the most important places in the hospital for thorough cleanliness.
This is definitely not a place to rely on overstretched in-house resources.

A service that will conscientiously clean:
You'll want to arrange a regular schedule for your cleaning - covering all items that will need cleaning at different intervals.
You'll want to be sure that all operatives are properly trained, monitored and motivated.

A day might not be enough to tour this island—all 21 square miles of it—not because there's so much to see and do but because you're meant to relax while you're here. Time stands still even in Road Town, the island's biggest community (though not as still as it did even in the early 1990s), where the hands of the central square's clock occasionally move but never tell the right time. The harbor, however, is busy with sailboats—this is the charter-boat capital of the Caribbean. Tortola's roads dip and curve around the island and lead to lovely, secluded accommodations.

So these last couple of days saw the reboot of the screenplay wherein the design of the script is that it can be divided into 10-12 minute episodes for potential web broadcasting. Today I managed to retrieve much of the script and subsequently have 12 pages of script saved; just have to write the other 80 or so pages now.
The wonderful news is that I am now writing and working from my almost finished office which has been quite the learning…

Exactly, secretsquirrel, what about ALL the other people who lost jobs? Where are the news stories about them? This isn't news anymore. Just another company laying off workers. They are no more "special" than any other laid off workers.
Both you and secretsquirrel need to spare us your outrage. None of the DDMG employees received any notice of the layoffs. NONE whatsoever. If the employees of Liberty Medical received notice even a day before they were sent packing, they got a day's more notice than these employees got. DDMG employees also lost any vacation and relocation pay they might have had coming to them for moving themselves and their families across the country to accept a decent paying job in a troubled economy. But then again, it takes a certain type of person to read an article like this and denigrate the folks who were nearly destroyed because they took an opportunity to better their lives and it didn't work out for them. You are both obviously feeling some kind of way for not having an article written about your struggle. Unfortunately, I am guessing that the TC Palm doesn't write articles on every single, solitary layoff that happens on the Treasure Coast, and would do well to conserve their energy for those stories that turn out to be newsworthy. Obviously, the TC Palm deemed the stories of these folks to be worthy of investigating and printing. In short, you and need to find a folding chair and have a seat.

STL Cinemas' quartet of movie houses mingles the vibrant pageantry of the early film industry with the technological sophistication of modern studio projects. Chase Park Plaza exudes the essence of this retro-contempo coupling, earning it the Riverfront Times 2010 Best Movie Theater award. With five intimate auditoriums, an all-digital sound system, and state-of-the-art projection, Chase Park Plaza coaxes movie-goers deep into the film's plot lines, characters, and 3-D effects easier than an underseat package containing a plaid dress, a little dog, and a magical Kansas twister. Before one of Chase's shows, bask in the sights of the lifelike trompe l'eoil murals, and soak in the sounds of a live organist who serenades the crowds with show-tune favorites such as "Phantom of the Opera," "Goldfinger," and "I'm a Little Tea Pot (The Remix)."
Sweating is a great way to meet new people, and Sports Monster has proved that since it started its first adult league in 1994. With year-round offerings that include volleyball, kickball, soccer, bowling, and other sports, interested kickers, hitters, and dribblers can sign up solo or with a fully formed team of friends or coworkers. Games take place all around the St. Louis area. With many nights available, participants can choose a time and location that best suits them. Annual members of Sports Monster leagues get an additional perk: free online dating opportunities with other league members, the only facet of the experience that doesn't offer any season-end trophies.
A longtime tennis player, Mark Platt began teaching the sport as soon as he graduated from high school. However, after a brief period of instructing at local country clubs, he realized that his heart wasn't in the work. The country clubs catered to intermediate and advanced players, and Mark wanted to teach beginners. In the absence of a satisfactory beginning tennis program in the area, he founded Mark Platt's Beginner's World Tennis in 1984.
As a tennis instructor, Mark has won numerous awards from such prestigious publications as Tennis Pro and Tennis Industry, according to the St. Louis Business Journal. Specifically geared toward beginners, his program combines lessons with special events including camps, leagues, and parties designed to encourage socializing—so far, his program has spawned 53 marriages. He and his small staff have big plans for the beginning tennis world; this year alone, they expect to introduce 10,000 adults, children, and marionettes to the sport.
At Crest Bowl, pins scatter across the gleaming hardwood of 32 bowling lanes equipped with up-to-date scoring equipment, lending a baritone rumble to a chorus of cheery shouts.

Jonah's is set upon the clifftop overlooking Whale Beach, truly one of Sydney's most spectacular outlooks. Fly over Sydney's famous Northern Beaches, including Manly, Dee Why Newport and on to Palm Beach on the return flight you will soak up the sights of Sydney Harbour.
Perched high on the edge of a cliff, enjoying dramatic views of Whale Beach and the sprawling Pacific Ocean, Jonah's at Palm Beach is one of Australia's most prestigious ocean retreats. Something of a Sydney institution, Jonah's salubrious guest list has included Laurence Olivier, Anthony Hopkins, Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall.
Departing Sydney Harbour late morning your seaplane flight tracks north past Sydney's spectacular northern beaches before touching down in the expansive waterway of Pittwater. Jonah's courtesy vehicle will meet you at the dock and transfer you the short distance to the restaurant.
Jonah's offers Modern Australian cuisine under the direction of award-winning chef George Francisco. George's style of cooking has a significant French influence, but it is his passion for finding and using the best and freshest local produce that will ensure Jonah's diners are as impressed about the food as they are about the restaurant's 180 degree views of the Pacific Ocean.
Enticing you to leave such a stunning location is difficult, but the prospect of a glorious afternoon seaplane flight back to Rose Bay, encompassing a Harbour circuit in front of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House does it for most!- © Viator2013

You may think you've completed a software project, but you aren't truly finished until you've conducted a project postmortem.
Mike Gunderloy calls the postmortem an essential tool for the savvy developer:
The difference between average programmers and excellent developers is not a matter of knowing the latest language or buzzword-laden technique. Rather, it can boil down to something as simple as not making the same mistakes over and over again. Fortunately, there's a powerful tool that any developer can use to help learn from the past: the project postmortem.
There's no shortage of checklists out there offering guidance on conducting your project postmortem. My advice is a bit more sanguine: I don't think it matters how you conduct the postmortem, as long as you do it. Most shops are far too busy rushing ahead to the next project to spend any time thinking about how they could improve and refine their software development process. And then they wonder why their new project suffers from all the same problems as their previous project.
Steve Pavlina offers a game developer's perspective on postmortems:
The goal of a postmortem is to draw meaningful conclusions to help you learn from your past successes and failures. Despite its grim-sounding name, a postmortem can be an extremely productive method of improving your development practices.
Game development is some of the most difficult software development on the planet. It's a veritable pressure cooker, which also makes it a gold mine of project postmortem knowledge. I've mentioned my fascination wth the Gamasutra postmortems before, but I didn't realize that all the Gamasutra postmortems had been consolidated into a book: Postmortems from Game Developer: Insights from the Developers of Unreal Tournament, Black and White, Age of Empires, and Other Top-Selling Games (Paperback) . Ordered. Also, if you're too lazy for all that pesky reading, Noel Llopis condensed all the commonalities from the Game Developer magazine postmortems.
Geoff Keighley's Behind the Games series, while not quite postmortems, are in the same vein. The early entries in the series are amazing pieces of investigative reporting on some of the most notorious software development projects in the game industry. Here are a few of my favorites:
Most of the marquee games highlighted here suffered massive schedule slips and development delays. It's testament to the difficulty of writing A-list games. I can't wait to read The Final Hours of Duke Nukem Forever, which has been in development for almost ten years now. Its vaporware status is legendary-- here's a list of notable world events that have occurred since DNF began development. "When it's done", indeed.
Don't make the mistake of omitting the project postmortem from your project. If you don't conduct project postmortems, then how can you possibly know what you're doing right-- and more importantly, how to avoid making the same exact mistakes on your next project?
I heard that Elvis was recently spotted playing Duke Nukem Forever!!!
The Geek on December 1, 2006 9:13 AMSome people prefer the slightly less morbid version, the "retrospective".
Kevin Dente on December 1, 2006 9:42 AMWhat I've seen happen historically is that people get in a room, whine, whine, whine and then consider their job done and forget about it.
DMB on December 1, 2006 10:30 AMThe challenge is knowing when a project is complete. Unlike a game, which has a clear definition "When we ship", some projects seem to drag on indefinitely with change orders, etc...
Sometimes we hardly noticed that a project has transitioned into the maintenance phase.
So consider "MidMortems" along with Post-Mortems. These would be "retrospectives" at significant milestones within a long project.
Haacked on December 1, 2006 11:33 AMSome people prefer the slightly less morbid version, the "retrospective".
Yes. Boring people.
C'mon, where's the excitement in "retrospective"? Don't you want to bust out a little CSI action instead?
Jeff Atwood on December 2, 2006 3:02 AMYour blogposts are too interesting. I was just going to sit down and check the mail, and now I've been here for an hour, reading, following links and (almost) ordering books.
Shame on you. :)
Mats Gefvert on December 2, 2006 3:15 AM"Some people prefer the slightly less morbid version, the 'retrospective'."
We prefer the much more descriptive term "Afterbirth", because it's such a bloody mess. :D
Randolpho on December 2, 2006 6:03 AMOr simply use the term process evaluation. I used to do this during projects at uni, in the real world (as Jeff points out) I have yet to see one performed. Indeed, there's hardly time to polish off and ensure the quality of the project already. A shame really.
Casper Bang on December 2, 2006 10:49 AMVery interesting. I'm sat here on a bright December morning preparing for a post-motem I've organized for tomorrow morning and decided to check my bloglines account when I came across your article.
Good stuff (esp. the links)
My employer has recently ended post-mortems. The exec in charge thinks they don't produce useful results. I'm sort of at a loss to respond to this depth of cluelessness.
kokorozashi on December 3, 2006 1:22 AMI said some people, I didn't say me. :)
The way many projects go, perhaps autopsy would be a more appropriate name.
Interesting. Perhaps I'm one of the boring people but I don't much like the word "post mortem." I guess that's 'cause the projects I've worked on have been successful.
We tend to hold retrospectives, but don't do them at the end .. we hold them after every release (once a month), and they're short. It's amazing how much more productive and cohesive (they don't always go hand-in-hand -- sacrificing a little bit of short-term productivity for long-term inter-relational work is a hard sell, but valuable) a team is when it's continuously reflecting on its successes and failures.
Here's a book that will help:
I generally respect most things out of the Pragmatic Programmers, and this one's no exception. If you reflect on your project more often, and the team has more of a stake in the way they operate, then the project has a better chance of success, in my opinion.
Oh, and I swear, I am not, nor have I ever been, a consultant. :-) In-the-trenches developer/retrospective facilitator here.
Stephen on December 3, 2006 7:56 AM"Our goals were too amitious and our timeline too optimistic."
I've never heard anyone say, "it was a bad design or that that any technical decisions were a mistake."
The only useful feedback seems to have been, "we didn't reduce dependancies enough."
Eric on December 4, 2006 5:23 AMI'm a big fan of the postmortem in making me a better developer, but I'm usually a little nervous to have them since I'm usually the lead programmer, and managed most of the project outside the money issues. I'm the only one to get the blame for failures.
It seems like at the end of every project, the final conclusion is always "we should have had a better statement of work"
Seems like I would have that one figured out by now.
Haacked is completely right though. Most of the projects that I'm working on now don't have a ship date. They just transition into a new phase of the project - be it maintenance or adding features.
I do have those SOWs down though. You bill by the hour, keep track of every little thing you did. If you spent 15 minutes writing an email to explain how to use the system, you can bill for that later. At the end, just send them your spreadsheet of every hour you worked and bill. I love working like that because timelines and scope-creep are no longer issues. Blissful.

Thoughts on how a financial services brand can use foursquare
I've been thinking quite a lot about how financial services companies in the UK could use location-based services to enhance their brand. (Note, I'm going to focus on foursquare here, rather than Facebook places or Gowalla, as this is the one that I have most experience with.)
The key thing to remember is that you don't actually need to have geographically diverse locations, such as branches, in order to use location-based services effectively.
Here's an example – AmEx teamed up with foursquare this month for a trial to offer its card users cashback when they paid using AmEx at participating merchants. All you do is sign up your card via the AmEx foursquare page, check in to the location as normal, 'load' the deal to your card via your smartphone, then pay as normal. The money gets credited to your statement within a few days. It's easy, straightforward, fun, creates a bit of buzz and you get a special badge too. The added bonus is that AmEx donates some money to charity when you complete your first transaction – probably not the main reason why you would do all this, but a nice touch all the same.
What a fantastic example of a financial services brand engaging with consumers in an innovative way!
So, with that in mind, here are some things that could be done in this country right now. The first, and most obvious one, would be a high street bank because of the physical presence that they have around the UK. If such a bank were to set up a foursquare presence, then it could create a range of badges for customers such as 'SuperSaver' (for when you make 10 deposits into an ISA); 'First-time buyer' (for when you take out a mortgage); 'KidsFund' (for when you open a CTF; or 'Chequing In' for when you have to deposit a pesky cheque.
As we all move more towards a scenario where purchasing decisions are heavily influenced by your online networks, by social media sites and by online reviews, wouldn't this be fantastic PR for a bank to have a certain section of its customers talking about its products and services via foursquare. The big benefit comes when these users' foursquare accounts are linked to their twitter and facebook profiles, which I'm assuming most are.
You could make more of this, of course, by introducing discounts or special offers for whichever user is the 'mayor' of a branch, although I suspect that this would be a logistical nightmare for the product development and administration teams. So, why not invite all the mayors of all your locations to take part in feedback sessions to help improve customer service and develop new products or propositions? This could be a virtual or real-world event, but it would be a really valuable focus group.
Extending this example further, if this bank was a sponsor in the sporting or musical world, as many are, then you could leverage that sponsorship even more through foursquare. Santander sponsors the McLaren Mercedes Formula 1 team, of course. What if you could check in to a Grand Prix circuit and then get a discount off your purchase of Team McLaren Mercedes merchandise if you pay with your Santander card?
The idea of badges would work quite well with a company like AVIVA too, given its sponsorship of athletics. VISA could, of course, do something similar to AmEx and also has a golden opportunity (forgive the pun) to capitalise on its involvement in London 2012. The London 2012 foursquare site is well-established and looks very impressive.
So, there you've got banks, payments providers and insurance companies, particularly those that put money into sponsorship as part of their marketing, which can amplify their reach through the use of foursquare. I hope to see developments in this area in the not-too distant future.

I couldnt agree more. Planned Parenthood has done so much good in San Angelo (and other places) There is no abortion done at this clinic, so no one should be protesting here. Please stop the honking, go home, and let these good people do their work in peace.

Not another teen thread...
Okay, as a previous long time member of performance, automotive forums, I can understand where everyone starts to come unglued when you ask questions like what do I do first? K&N filter or under-drives?
That being said I know ZERO about diesels, other than if Ford didnt make one, I would never own one. I was told that the 7.3 was the way to go for over all power, with the newer motors obviously making more initial/stock power. I was also told head bolt, egr cooler, and oil cooler horror stories with the 6.0, and terrible fuel mileage with the 6.4. I was informed that the 7.3 however had the weakest transmission (automatic)of the group. For the seasoned guys/girls what would you do if you had it to do over? (price of vehicle, and personal preference on looks aside) (cause everyone knows the 99-04 body is drop dead gorgeous!!!). |

i do like my 7.3 's as far as overall durabilty , as far as the trans goes , they like the 6.0 engine arent as bad as made out to be ,nice cold air intake , 4 inch exhaust and a good custom chip with trans tuned correctly will cure alot of the worries

I love my 2002 7.3L I dont have any complaints with my 6.0 but I have noticed that the 7.3l overall has more power potential then the 6.0, just to give you an idea my 6.0 has 140k on it and hasn't given me big problems so i guess its all depends what you want out of your truck but hands down My 7.3 is better for what i use the trucks for (towing horse trailers) I don't have an opinion on the 6.4 other then they are really quick stock from the factory floor. I would love to see what the 6.4 does with my tri axle horse trailer.
I haven't been around them long enough to give you any educated input o them but I personally like my 6.0. From wht I've read , with headstuds and EGR delete they are as reliable as any of the others. A DPF delete will solve the MPG problems with the 6.4's.
And in my opinion (which I know you didn't ask for) the 99-04 is the least attractive body style to me. I like the newer ones and even the OBS better. Not that I don't like the 99-04 but one of them has to be my least favorite and that's it. |
Thanks for the input Jesse!!! Love the newer trucks over all, just can't get over that huge grill... Maybe it will grow on me... Anyways, I traded a 01 4.6L 4dr 2wd straight across for my 01 2wd ext. cab LWB diesel. KBB and NADA both showed that the diesel was worth 2400 more as a trade-in, which I plan(ed) on doing with either truck. I want a 4dr 4wd srw (not sure on the long or short bed yet). I have found a beautiful 03 with 110K Lariat, sunroof, 6disc, the works. But it is the 6.0 motor (build date is 01-03 which I thought should be the 7.3, but it is what it is). I love the truck just afraid of the motor (not sure if it has the 4R110 or the 5R110 tranny) I have a 4000lb (with trailer) wake board boat, and that should be the extent of my towing. Im just tired of breaking off vettes and firebirds in my mustang and would love to do it in a 9000lb truck instead!!! Aiming for 350-450hp and 700-800lb ft. |
The grilles are what i like about the newer trucks as opposed to the 99-04. They justlook a lot tougher on the road to me. Maybe someone with more knowledge will chime in with some more info on the motors.
Its going to be easier to make it into your horsepower range with a 6.0. To get around the 400hp range all you will need is a tuner. If you want to make it over that horsepower range then go with the 6.4
you can get good Hp#'s out of any of these engines as long as your wallet has lots of dead presidents in it. as goose said the easiest would be the 6.4 as it is a Common Rail.
and for the best lookin body style id have to say its the 05-07, followed closely by the OBS i love that one to |
whats OBS?
old body style? 92-98 If so, I really dont have a favorite between that and the 99-04, guess just depends on my mood, and how the truck is done. |
^^^^ you got it

Jeff Gordon, with a lap speed of 182.392 mph, posted the fastest lap during the final AdvoCare 500 practice session at Atlanta Motor Speedway................. Second fastest was Tony Stewart with a lap speed of 181.979 mph, and was followed by Clint Bowyer (181.675), Brad Keselowski (180.669) and Greg Biffle (180.557 )............. Stewart's impressive practice run was enhanced even more by running the quickest 10 consecutive laps on the day. As Stewart tries to hold onto his chase position he should be feeling much more at ease knowing his car should run well Sunday night. Stewart won the last race held in Atlanta, his third win on the track, and is also using the car that dominated Las Vegas earlier this year..................... Rounding out the top-ten fastest during the final practice session were Dale Earnhardt Jr. (180.539) with his brand new contract in hand, Carl Edwards (180.504), Denny Hamlin (180.363), Kyle Busch (180.258) and Ryan Newman (180.252).

Indiana LLC - Making A Local Business Success
Create an Indiana LLC and get ease of operation, low annual filing costs, personal asset liability protection, unique tax treatment along with the right to conduct business in Indiana.
Forming an LLC Online - Pricing - State Procedures for Forming an LLC
Indiana LLC And Your Future Success
* Shielding Your Personal Assets. With your Indiana LLC you obtain the statutory protections for your personal assets (auto, house, bank accounts, securities) from the future liabilities of your LLC corporation and its creditors.
* Legal Basis For Deducting Business Expenses. When you form an limited liability company in Indiana you establish the legal basis for deducting qualifying costs and expenses from your business operation, as well as obtaining depreciation and write off for qualifying assets of your LLC corporation in terms of its tax basis.
Definition of LLC
Reason to Form an LLC
Comparing and LLC to a Incorporation
LLC vs Sole Prop and Partnership
Forming an LLC
Ownership of an LLC
Managing an LLC
Taxes for an LLC
* Who Can Own A Membership Interest? An Indiana LLC offers entrepreneurs advantages in the matter of ownership. Yyour Indiana LLC has no ceiling or fixed limit on the number of owner-members, unlike the Subchapter S Corporation which is limited by statute to no more than 75 shareholders. A C corporation, however, is unlike your Indiana LLC in that it has no shareholder limit rule, indeed is the vehicle used for public stock offerings.
* Tax Status - Pass Through Vehicle. Your Indiana LLC qualifies your business as a "pass through" entity, in that your LLC corporation pays no tax itself, rather any and all tax liabilities or share of losses are paid at the personal. In the event that your Indiana LLC fails to meet certain statutory requirements and the IRS re-classifies your LLC corporation as a simple corporation, then your tax-exempt status disappears.
* Dynamic Local Indiana Market Place. Amongst the 50 state which presently approve your forming a LLC with operations within their jurisdictions, Indiana stands out as one of the more progressive pro-business states as you can readily attest from the Indiana Secretary of State.
* Flexible Corporate Governance Standards. Flexibility and simplicity are keys to your Indiana LLC. Corporate governance for your Indiana LLC is also streamlined, with no statutory requirement for annual meetings and minutes, unlike those same requirements that make the Subchapter S and C corporations considerably more complex to operate than a LLC formation.
* Initial Steps To Start Process. In order to proceed with forming a LLC, you need to prepare a written abstract detailing your Indiana LLC corporation purpose and the names of your initial members.

Everyone loved this snack. Even my husband, who doesn't eat a lot of sweets, had several pieces. This cake is a cross between a chocolate chip bar cookie and a vanilla cake.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
2/3 cup oil
2 tsp vanilla extract
3 1/2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
3 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups safe chocolate chips
Combine the applesauce, oil and vanilla. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add the oil mixture to the flour mixture and mix until thoroughly combined. Stir in the chocolate chips. Spread the batter evenly into a sprayed 9x13 baking pan. Bake at 350 for 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is lightly browned. Cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.

Never had fried turkey until three years ago. IMHO it is VASTLY superior to the oven or grilled variety. Having stated that, I am a ham for Thanksgiving and rib roast for Christmas kind of guy. Both whip the ole Turk - Turk perry bad. My oldest daughter and I am pushing for turducken next Thanksgivig. I am concerned that what is available up here won't be a good quality product.
I agree that fried is much better than oven. Seems to seal the juice. As for your turducken, you can oder through the net from a lot of places in Louisiana now. If you want me to find you one/a place, shoot me a pm.
I've never had it, never intend to. Shyt never tempted ME. I was just offering my help since he said he was worried about what was available up there.
LSUTIGA: Thanks for your offer, but maybe I will back off, too. Thanks anyway, and have a HAPPY, HAPPY!
Times are tough right now...I couldn't afford Turducken....had to settle for squirrelposscoon this year

Mapping down to your house
An idea was posted on the BBC Backstage Idea Store asking whether it was possible to search for stories that happened around the posters house – basically to get as local as possible.
It was posted by and basically said:
Sometimes I would like to find news that is happening in a certain area. This area might be quite small and I might be less interested in how recent the news is.
I may for example want to find all news that happened near my house in the last year.
The original author suggested a few solutions to the problem – these including providing a location based search, making sure location data is available within the news feeds and metadata and creating an algorithm to search through the content on pages to look for place names and adding location data where necessary.
But there may be a solution in the offering from the BBC in the not to distant future – and it will come in the form of an enhance (albeit original video free) BBC Local.
As BBC Local moves into the News & Sport CPS and towards the new look service I think you'll be able to do something along these lines from within your BBC Local site.
Mapping will probably play a fairly big part of these sites as they develop (without original video) over the next year or two.
Expect to see an interactive map of the region the site covers (so for example Bristol) with wide reaching stories created by the Bristol team (as well as TV/radio teams for the area).
Then as you zoom further in you'll be able to see more locally relevant stories – eventually down as far as your own street – although I doubt they'll be many at that level from the BBC.
Obviously I don't know for certain this is what will happen – it is what I'd like to see happen but I'm also not convinced BBC Local content gets local enough to make it worthwhile.
I mean its ok for Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man – local is island wide here and there – but for someone like BBC Three Counties – local is an interesting issue.
Ideally local would go down to the street level – in fact it would go down to house level – but life isn't ideal and the BBC Local content is a long way from being THAT local.
You might get the odd story you can tie to the odd street – but if you looked at a full detailed map of Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire – the number of pins would still be pretty sparse – even after nearly a decade of being am active site.
Maybe if a partnership agreement could be struck between the BBC and local newspapers you'd get the level of localness you're looking for.
The BBC has the big regional stuff, local newspapers cover a town and then if you pulled in parish newsletters (giving them a blog or a way of publishing online and encouraged residents associations to blog as well – you could create a fully detailed map with a mass of truly local content.

text: deviantart's 12th BirthdayFor deviantART's 12th birthday, the staff decided to throw a ghoulish surprise party for Fella. They gathered at Fella's favorite restaurant, The Fancy Greater Horseshoe Bat, with presents in hand. Llama brought Fella to the door and once they stepped in, all of the staff screamed, "Crimpers!" Fella was so shocked that he instantly flapped. He opened his presents to find that Llama had given him 12 goths. He was amazed! He would never forget that night.deviantart's 12th Birthday1 year ago in Scraps More Like This


text: A suicide bomber rammed an explosives-packed car into the Yemeni defence ministry complex Thursday, allowing gunmen to launch an assault which killed 25 people including three foreign doctors, officials said. They were at a hospital within the ministry complex which bore the brunt of the attack. "A car bomb driven by a suicide bomber forced its way into the western entrance of the ministry complex," a security official told AFP. The ministry said gunmen occupied the hospital after the explosion, but that security forces had regained control of the building.

expensive breakfast & food in restaurant. Location fare away from shops and no transport if you dont have a car.
A very laid-back place. No unnecessary formalities, everything straightforward. We were especially happy with the spacious apartment that had facilities for an elderly person in a wheelchair. Well equipped kitchenette. No problems at all. Lovely, lovely little town.
The only thing worth mentioning is a sofa-bed. Could do with a new one... This one made a lot of squeaky noises every time we made the slightest move. Did not sleep much the first night, but eventually got used to it...:)
Beautiful & spacious lobby, fantastic swimming pool with jacuzzi, turkish bath & spa facilities, comfortable bed, large room & bathroom with view on the lake, excellent conference facilities.
No wifi at all in the rooms (lobby & bar only!) and NO possibility of even buying internet connection, no coffee maker, only two tiny bed pillows, poor quality thin bath towels, very limited TV channels (30?). There was a safe in the room but no instructions on how to use it.
Not clean. So dirty They must cheanig all furnished
Location and price
Bugs and spiders no food services at weekends
excellent location when visiting Geneva (15 min) or Lausanne (40 min by motorway); quiet place at night, close to small lake Divonne; possibility to cook (important when travelling with kids), cooking equipment was ok; dishwasher was a help; clean; aircond working!; parking available and free of charge; free wi-fi; very comfortable regular beds
sofa bed was terrible, terraces rather of not to use - no privacy. problems with payment by credit card - hotel uses only offline correspondent methods of payment and always in advance (before coming) which is not safe
It is near to lake ,
There is no daily Housekeeping
The spa was nice.
We had a two bedroom apartment with a kitchen and washer/dryer but no dish detergent, laundry soap, salt/pepper, garbage can liners, coffee filters, etc, They said we would need to buy all of that at the local grocery store when it opened the next day. The apartment was very old and sparse looking. The smaller bedroom had a trundle bed with two mismatched twin beds. We only had one full bathroom.
The location and facities are good.
The staff are very rude and not cooperative.
قربه لجنيف وهدو المكان
كل شي من الاستقبال الا الغرف وعدم نظافة الشقه وعدم تجاوب العاملين فيه
Lake views Courtesy bus to Divonne Friendly staff in general
Food was bland and unimaginative Reception refused to cancel the cab one of my colleagues ordered and will charge the fair?! The Spa is closing at 6pm- hard to catch a treatment after a day long conference
The Spa swimming-pool was very nice and children could go after 19h and between 11-14h30.
As we stayed only 4 nights we did not have house cleaning. Also we had to take out our own garbage and did not have toilet paper refill.
The picture you advertize in your listing is misleading of the size of the establishment; we selected on the basis of the quaint picture; the fact that they cash the stay upon reservation is to avoid clients canceling upon arrival.
Lack of cleanliness Expensive for what you get Equivalent to a $ 50.00/night us motel. This is a factory motel, the only unpleasant stay in our week in France
اتساع الشقق - المواقف المجانية - سهولة إجراءات الدخول
طاقم العمل وبالأخص موظفة الريسبشن لا تتقيد بمواعيد التشيك آوت المذكورة في الحجز من 10-12 ولا بالأسلوب الجيد , بحيث أنها تزعجك من بدء الساعة العاشرة ويتم فصل التلفاز عليك وطرق الباب والاتصال عليك أكثر من مره لطلب خروجك رغم أنك لازلت في الوقت المتاح لك لعمل التشيك آوت حسب موقع بوكنج !؟ - ديفون هادئة أكثر من اللازم ولاتوجد خدمات قريبة أو مطاعم
A lot of space in rooms and kitchen facility helpful if not fabulously equipped.
Fairly basic facilities with not great equipment available in the chalets. Good if staying for a long time and bringing your own crockery etc...
Quite place Small appartments very comfortable for SPA and/or business trips near Geneva
Smell in the elevator The balcony was not clean
The swimmingpool was cold as well as the hammam
Good check in Clean Comfortable sofa bed Spa
Apartments were nice
Apartment reaked of smoke. Cutlery and glasses were dirty. The wifi was unusable stayed on business and could not connect to office, the excuse was many people were using it. If you need Internet do not stay in Villa du Lac.
Spa - although the changing rooms are badly set out. Rooms were clean and tidy.
Menu in the restaurant was limited.
The room comfort / quietness and use of the swimming pool. Breakfast and aminities.
Restaurant was completely booked (2 days) for weddings
Very clean Easy to get to airport
Blankets instead of duvets on bed, this is a bit old-fashioned

Interview with NYPH as a new grad - Page 3
Register Today!- Nov 23, '11 by nursebella21Whatever you do, don't work in their oncology unit. The managers and staff there are nightmares! Friends have told me. Nobody stays there. After a year, everyone leaves. They eat the young.
- Nov 23, '11 by bennylavagitCan't remember all of them, but my nursing prof taught the behavioral questions asked in an nursing interview were around the personality traits called the 5 C's
- compassion
- communication
- care
- conflict resolution
- calmness
Tell me about a time the most uncooperative patient you have had to deal with. How did you handle it.(to assess communication and conflict resolution)
Our hospital serves a very diverse population. How have you prepared yourself to deal with patients from various backgrounds?
Suppose you learned that your fellow LPN was taking shortcuts and that a prescribed plan of care was not being followed for a patient. How would you handle this?

Non-Violent Responses to Structural Violence
California State University, Dominguez Hills
University of Wisconsin, Parkside
Latest update: January 18, 2000
Faculty on the Site.
Sociology 395-03
Course Reference Number: 22980
Time:TBA by Series of Workshops, Schedule Up Shortly
Room: Room Assignments Posted When Schedule Up
Jeanne Curran, Ph.D., Esq.
Course requires computer literacy.
The course will explore the ways in which we fail to listen to one another, the ways in which we assume that there is a unique right way or right answer, and the ways in which people coming from other perspectives are hurt by that. (Structural violence by the normative expectations to which we hold communication.) Leo Buscaglia translates a non-violent response to the violence imposed by our institutionalized hierarchies into a form of loving through teaching and sharing our learning. If this were a support group that might be an adequate end for us to achieve. But this is an upper division substantive course. That means that we want to understand how we can move from an understanding of the structural violence imposed in the name of difference to loving and sharing knowledge. For that we need theory, and the leading edge of theory. Elliot's readings offer us that theory. Then we move always back to Leo Buscaglia's embodiment of that theory into the bonds of relationships and sharing in our lives.
You should prepare all Pass? or Prepared? multiple choice interactive pieces that are included on your Reading Preparataions. No penalty for being reasonably late, but you must prepare those within a week or so of the actual discussions.
There are lecture notes and a set of questions for each reading in the course. Your answers should be short. Try for 25 words or less. Since these questions are answered from at least one perspective in the lecture notes, you will be expected to check your answer for accuracy against those notes. These are required exercises. I will record that you have submitted them. But I will not grade them. I have left this requirement in because I will not be able to completely rewrite all the preparations. Adjust it to fit the other measures of learning you are giving me. I will be posting new materials; please check the class page for What's Required?
About quoting from the lecture notes, which are now called annotations.
This must include some way to substantiate that you have attained the computer literacy required. This could be a detailed statement that lets me recognize that you have in fact mastered e-mailing and using the Site. Or it could be a demonstration. Or some other measure you discover.
It must also include some learning goals that you set for yourself. There are examples in Forms to Guide Us and in How to Measure Learning. Share measurement ideas with your collaborative group.
Have too tight a schedule for a group? Communicate by e-mail.
Since basic preparedness and contribution to our dialog and discussions will give you a C, this component goes toward raising that grade to a B or an A. How much do you have to do? Well, how good would a term paper have to be? That's where creativity and genuine effort come into play. And this component gives you a chance to tell me what you've learned, what you've accomplished, so you're authenticating your own learning in this interactive way. You have something to say about it.
This component is not intended to replace the other components. But it can suffice to raise your grade to a B or an A.
Another option is the process text, the kind of publication we do on Dear Habermas. If there is a sub-topic you would like to pursue, you could locate sources on the Web and in the library, and annotate those sources with brief descriptions, so that others might benefit from your in-depth study. This also could suffice to raise your grade to a B or an A.

People don't understand everything that bands at our level sacrifice to make things work. There is this assumption that if you're signed then all your problems go away and that your label pays for everything. We don't make any money, we hardly eat, and if we do eat its 3 or 4 dollars worth of fast food a day. We make outrageously long drives on little to no sleep, we hardly get to shower and we don't see our significant others/loved ones for months at a time. We do it though because we love playing music. With that being said, sometimes fans need to understand that some things are out of our control. Nobody really understands what goes on behind the scenes, we're more than just those guys from that band. We have our own lives outside of music filled with problems just like everyone else. Its easy to look in from the outside and say we don't have our shit together, but if you knew how hard we worked then you would understand. All the love and support from fans makes this time so much easier to deal with and I really do appreciate it. However, if you have nothing but negative things to say, then you were never a friend or a fan.

Pre-school expands in Yate (From Gazette Series)

Phase Five Pre-school takes on more children in Yate
4:00pm Wednesday 9th October 2013 in News By Alexandra Womack
A YATE pre-school has expanded to offer more children fun and activities during the week.
Phase Five Pre-school, which has been established in Yate since 1979, has opened an additional centre with the St Nicholas Family Centre in Abbotswood.
The new play room is specifically for two to three-year-old children and youngsters aged between three and four will transfer to the school's existing building in Kelston Close.
The expansion means the pre-school can now offer an extra 16 places.
Administrator Diane Walters said: "The new room is all about learning to share and play independently and will be staffed solely by existing staff so there is continuity.
"At our existing site we have such good links with Abbotswood and Wellesley primary schools we can really get the children ready for school."
Previously, Phase Five could only take children aged two-and-a-half and over although it was so oversubscribed parents of younger children found it difficult to secure a place.
"This is a fantastic opportunity for us and we are so grateful to the Rev Iain Macfarlane at St Nicholas who offered us the room and to South Gloucestershire Council which has helped us through the transition," said Mrs Walters.
"We are really excited about the future."
Twelve children are already attending the extended pre-school, with more due to start after the October half term. The new room in Abbotswood is open from Tuesday to Thursday with plans to open on Mondays and Fridays shortly.
Phase Five is holding an open day on Saturday, October 12 (10am-12noon) when all prospective parents are welcome.

News: Wall scored 20 points (8-20 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT) to go along with eight assists, five rebounds, three steals and one block Monday against the Nuggets. | Impact: Wall is not only averaging career-highs in both points (19.6) and assists (9.1), but he is also averaging a career-high 2.3 steals a game. He should continue to be an excellent fantasy option this season.(RotoWire, ) |
Sat. Dec 7, 2013 | |
News: Wall had 30 points and eight assists in Friday's 109-105 overtime loss to Milwaukee. | Impact: Wall continues to come up big for fantasy owners. He remains one of the best fantasy point guards in the NBA.(STATS, 00:34am) |
Fri. Dec 6, 2013 | |
News: Wall scored 30 points (9-23 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 12-13 FT) with eight assists, two steals, and three blocks in the overtime loss to Milwaukee on Friday. | Impact: Wall did not shoot particularly well and has only hit 39.1 percent of his shots in his last five games. He is taking more 3-pointers, but is just 4-of-17 in his last four games from long range.(RotoWire, ) |
Tue. Dec 3, 2013 | |
News: Wall had 16 points and 13 assists in Monday's 98-80 rout of Orlando. | Impact: Wall's double-double was his seventh of the season, tied with Marcin Gortat for most on the team. He is averaging 19.0 points and ranks second in the league with 9.2 assists per game.(STATS, 00:27am) |
Mon. Dec 2, 2013 | |
News: Wall recorded a double-double Monday against the Magic, as he scored 16 points (5-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT) to go along with 13 assists, four rebounds and one steal in 29 minutes. | Impact: Wall is having an excellent season for owners, averaging 19.0 points, 9.2 assists, 2.3 steals and 1.2 three-pointers, all of which are career-highs. The Wizards have many more offensive weapons this season, which should lead to more assists and scoring opportunities, as defenses don't have to only worry about him.(RotoWire, ) |
Fri. Nov 29, 2013 | |
News: Wall struggled in Friday's loss to the Pacers, scoring just eight points on 4-for-14 shooting. He added nine assists in 35 minutes of action. | Impact: Wall had been playing excellently heading into Friday's game, but the Pacers have always found ways to shut down players with their suffocating defense. Expect Wall to bounce back sooner than later.(RotoWire, ) |
Wed. Nov 27, 2013 | |
News: Wall, fresh off conference player of the week honors, scored 19 points (7-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), had six assists and five steals in 39 minutes against Milwaukee on Wednesday. | Impact: With Wall playing arguably the best ball of his young career, Washington has won three in a row and five of six. He didn't play particularly well, but if this is his bad night, Washington and fantasy owners will gladly take it.(RotoWire, ) |
Tue. Nov 26, 2013 | |
News: Wall had his third straight 30-plus point performance for the first time in his career with 31 in Tuesday's win over the Lakers. | Impact: Wall is averaging 33.0 points over his last three games while shooting 61.4 percent from the field.

Sun. Nov 24, 2013 | |
News: Wall netted 31 in Saturday's win over New York. | Impact: He's averaging 34.0 points in his last two games and has back-to-back 30-plus games for the first time in his career.(STATS, 00:58am) |
Sat. Nov 23, 2013 | |
News: Wall blew up for a season-high 37 points on 15-of-21 shooting in a 96-88 loss at Toronto on Friday. | Impact: Wall, averaging 17.6 points on the season, had scored 12.7 per game on 30.7 percent shooting over his previous six.(STATS, 01:32am) |
Wed. Nov 20, 2013 | |
News: Wall scored 14 points and matched a career-high 16 assists in Tuesday's win over Minnesota. | Impact: He's shooting just 35.7 percent this year and didn't do that number any favors with a 5-for-17 night against the Timberwolves. He does, however, have 28 assists in his last two games with just two turnovers.(STATS, 01:21am) |

New terminal at Indore airport
February 2012
Ministry of civil aviation urged
Airports Authority of India (AAI) to make
the new terminal of Devi Ahilyabai Holkar Airport in Indore functional without further waiting for an inaugural function.
The ministry also communicated this to Indore Airport.
Airport officials have also asked all the airlines to shift their office to the new terminal. However, till now, no decision was taken regarding the utility and use of the old building.
Recently, two MPs from the city asked the Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and Union Ministry of Civil Aviation to initiate steps for making the new terminal operational soon. The new terminal was first supposed to be inaugurated on August 15 last year. Later, the inauguration date was postponed to September 1 on the occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi but was delayed.
In the last week of November, former Union civil aviation minister Vayalar Ravi had given three dates in December (17, 24 and 27) on which he could be available for the inauguration. The dates were approved by chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan as well. But in the Union Cabinet reshuffle, Ravi lost the portfolio to Ajit Singh.
