EDMONTON - Health Minister Fred Horne is not happy.
This summer, you'll recall, Alberta Health Services adopted a new home-care policy. It stopped contracting with dozens and dozens of small, not-for-profit agencies and awarded huge contracts instead to a handful of huge national and multinational for-profit companies. The consolidation was supposed to save AHS $15 million. Instead, the continuing public anger over the plan has given AHS and Horne a series of migraine-level political headaches.
Three or four weeks ago, says Horne, he started to hear a growing number of complaints from clients that health-care aides were regularly missing appointments.
Horne was concerned enough that he commissioned Alberta's Health Quality Council to investigate and write a report about quality assurance in home care. The report is supposed to be ready by February or March.
But Horne was surprised to learn this Tuesday via the media that one of AHS's major home-care contractors, the multinational Revera, had failed to live up to the contract it was awarded just this August to care for some 300 clients in southwest Edmonton.
AHS is now reassigning those clients — primarily frail seniors or people with serious disabilities — to other private contractors.
"I have some serious questions for AHS. This is not an event that should occur in our health-care system," says Horne. "The first thing I expected to hear from the CEO of Alberta Health Services was an apology, and I think that needs to occur. Ultimately, the responsibility is AHS's, as the contractor, to make sure the firms they contract with can deliver on their services."
"I don't think we have any kind of a crisis in our system," adds Horne. "But we want to be assured we have contracts Albertans can rely on."
Horne's exasperation is clear. After all, public backlash to elements of the home-care contract model played a key role in Horne's decision to fire the AHS board in June, and to restructure radically the AHS management in September. Those moves were supposed to make Alberta Health Services more accountable to the minister — and presumably to give Albertans better health care. Instead, the home-care system continues to be a political minefield.
Still, it's a bit too easy for Horne to blame AHS and its CEO, Chris Eagle, for this current mess. Horne is the minister of health, with more control over Alberta Health Services than ever before. Final responsibility for this particular home-care reform rests with him.
The root problem is with this new home-care model itself.
By contracting out services to an out-of-province, third-party private company, AHS has abdicated much of its direct responsibility and most of its power, to make sure that the home-care portion of the public health-care system is working properly. It simply didn't have the necessary checks or balances or levers.
We don't contract out acute-care hospitals to private, for-profit companies. Yet we've allowed home care to evolve on an entirely different model.
The market model, however, is governed by inexorable market laws. Revera needs to make a profit to stay in business. It has to make more on the contract than it pays out in wages. In this case, Revera either underbid for the contract — or failed to pay high enough wages to retain sufficient staff.
That was Revera's mistake.
But the province set up the system that made such a mess possible.
In Edmonton, with its hot economy and its sprawling size, finding enough competent people willing and able to drive from place to place to care for the sick, disabled and elderly for a relatively low wage isn't easy.
In this city, at this moment, good workers have plenty of options. Until the next crash in the price of oil it will be a challenge to find caring, responsible people willing to do such emotionally and physically taxing work, all for a salary that still allows a private firm to make a healthy profit.
Horne acknowledges that challenge. But he insists contracting out care wasn't supposed to be a money-saving tactic. It was, instead supposed to guarantee that everyone was getting the same standard of care.
"I don't want cost-containment in any way to compromise quality," says Horne. "AHS has to put quality of care first."
Inspiring words. But if the market model can't be made to work in this market, we may need to find a better, more effective plan to deliver home care to those who need it.

It feels a bit surreal to me that we've already finished another season!
This last episode felt like a really good note to end on. After all of the drama and heartache that we have experienced this past year, it was wonderful to close on a mostly positive note. At the time of Pandora's wedding most of us were busy with personal and professional projects, so it was nice to get together and see everyone looking so lovely and refreshed. I was in the middle of finalizing the design of my shoe line which was to reach retailers in a few weeks, and I was really ready to just have a good time. Paul and I danced for hours, and at the end I did wish I'd had that car to drive me back home across the street! It was a beautiful evening, and I wish Pandora and Jason all the best as they start their lives together.
Speaking of starting their lives, I'm also hoping for the best for Taylor and her daughter as they move forward. While she was ready to move on from her marriage, Russell's suicide was obviously still a shock to her, and to everyone else. When we got together at Kyle's, I was so glad that she made the effort to come. It's wonderful to have friends when times are good, but it's essential to have them when times are rough. I think the get-together lifted Taylor's spirits somewhat. That was one of our best afternoons as a group, and I'm glad you got to see us at a time when we could celebrate everyone's accomplishments.
You owe a BIG APOLOGY to LISA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a total disappointment about Paul and Adrienne. I guess we were all fools watching what we thought the American Dream, a couple who loved each other and worked as a great team in marriage and careers. Fake Show Housewives of Beverly Hills, never watch again.
Love you Adrianne, you have such a wonderful inner and outer strength. Watching you makes me feel empowered for being a woman. You have wondreful advice, know what to say, can hold your tongue (when it has to be soooo difficult not get in the mix of poisonous words), and Paul seems very devoted to you. I love RHOBV and can't wait to see your honesty during the reunions. On a side note, will you ever create an affordable shoe for those that don't live in BV? You would be great with a clothing line....anything in future?
Poor Bernie. He's in meltdown mode. Guess he has no idea how bad he makes Adrienne & himself look. I've suspected this season Adrienne has been backstabbing Lisa for some time. Bernie's open hatred of Lisa seems to confirm this. Now we know who told Taylor and Russell that Lisa was the leak when Russell said, "Someone we all know told us Lisa gossiped to the magazine.".
I'm starting to wonder how much Bernie has been badmouthing Lisa to others before now; a chef throwing food on the floor in a restaurant? If true, he should be ashamed of himself. Not that chefs are known for their manners…. Also it seems Bernie didn't think about burning his source, "the hostess"; if that woman worked for Lisa, guess she's looking for a job now.
Does Bernie think he's going to return on camera for next season of RHOBH after his non-stop attacks on Lisa? He's gay, so maybe he's Cedric's buddy and that's what really is going on here?
Why are the other Housewives are piling on LIsa?
Adrienne, I'm glad you wrote such a nice blog, especially about Pandy's wedding. It's no secret that you and Lisa have your issues but writing such positive things about Pandora's wedding is taking the high road, and it's the Adrienne I initially fell in love with (and didn't see much of this season).
I wish you could see Lisa (and her comments) like the viewers do. After seeing a part of the reunion and hearing you state your hurt feelings over the "Maloof Hoof" comment yet again, I tried really hard not to roll my eyes. No one would have even remembered it if you didn't keep bringing it up, and in the big picture - is it REALLY that big of a deal? Lisa wasn't insulting you, it was just an off the cuff comment that she's famous for. If your name rymed with Jewel, then that's what she would have called your shoes. "Hoof" rymes with Maloof. So simple. Camille comments that she thought it was rude, and I say the same thing to her...it was merely a cute play on words, as in adorable, not snarky. It was clearly meant and said with affection and the fact that you can't, or refuse to see that just makes me think you're extremely insecure.
Lisa would find the "Villa Ca Ca" hysterical IF it rymed with Vanderpump and you said it with affection, but that's not where YOU'RE coming from, is it?
Sorry to harp on this, it's the last time I assure you, but you didn't do yourself any favors by blowing this out of proportion and making it was it was never intended to be. Same with the Vegas deal. You, Camille and Kyle all owe Lisa a huge apology. I'm sure she's been terribly hurt, more than we viewers have been allowed to see, because I feel hurt for her. Bully behavior from all three of you.
I hope the old Adrienne comes back next season. I miss her.
Although there were times I found you a little annoying (taking Kyle side on spa day when you weren't at game night and when you can't complete a sentence) I have enjoyed watching you and your funny husband. All the best to you both.
So glad you demanded an apology from Taylor. It was your finest moment this season. No one should be able to get away with everything she did to all of you this year.
Your STILL the voice of reason, and I STILL love you for it! Thanks for sharing a peek into your (and Paul's) world. I hope you have a good hiatus and look forward to seeing you next season.
Adrienne, I hope you watch and reflect back on episodes of this past season to see how insensitive you come across toward Paul. It was really uncomfortable seeing you be so dismissive of him. He is a sweet and smart guy. Think, would you want your boys to marry women who treat them the way you treat your husband? While Lisa can get annoyed with Ken at times, the viewer at least can see she cares for and respects him. Please take this time away from the cameras to work on that.
Adrienne, I'm so suprised how you have turned on Lisa. You 2 were my favorites. Her crack about the Maloof Hoof, I thought was brilliant. You should of called them that! Where is your sense of humor? You seem to be overly sensitive this season. Bringing Brandi aboard was a great move. Love her!! Now that is a REAL person with the ability to laugh at herself. She and Lisa are so great together. Lisa is the more mature, classier version of Brandi. Great sense of humor and able to laugh at herself. Lighten up. I want to like you again. And for gosh sakes, keep your eye on Taylor. You all know she is a fraud!
Totally agree
I had recommended Diva. Because, I have a doberman name Dolce. My husband is from Italy and thought she was sweet. That what Dolce means in Italian.Sweet. Purrfect name. I love your line of shoes. I was confused I have to admit. At first I thought you had truly named you're shoe line" Maloof Hoof,"I was thinking of a" lucky" horseshoe, and thought how clever. In hindsight hoof doesn't just pertain to a horse, it could be a cow, deer, moose. Not so clever, or nice of Lisa...
Paul had me laughing out loud no need to explain you were there. He raised awareness of a very important but not so pleasant procedure that could be life saving. It was good to hear the Dr give Paul a clean bill of health.
It's been a good season to watch. Good luck in your endeavors.
Hi Adrienne, I really like you on the show. And Paul is so cute! You and Lisa are my favorites. I think that the Maloof hoof is a cute play on words nothing more. I didn't see any insult at all. But if you dont like it, you don't like it. What do I know, I wear crocs pretty much 24/7.
We've learned to love Paul as the season progressed. He is a funny, big Teddy Bear, but he can handle any situation when he needs to do so. I much admired him while watching the segment at Kyle's house when Russell and Taylor were asked not to stay. Paul seemed like the only level-headed "man in charge". He stepped up to the plate like Mauricio needed to do. In retrospect, it would have been better if nobody went out to the front except Paul and Mauricio.....the two of them could have handled the situation quietly and quickly. There were too many people out front.....it would have been less humiliating to let the two guys take care of it alone. And, oh yes.....I'm not a big fan of too much plastic surgery....but I'd trust Paul with my face!!!!
Adrianne, you were my favorite for most of season one. I am very disapointed that you let your business promotions interfere with your friendship with Lisa, I never expected that from you. I thought that you were always the voice of reason? Lisa has a very dry sense of humor did you hear her comment about having her relatives to your Hotel for the Holidays? It is hard to mix friendship with business and I am happy to see that you did let your guard down a little more on season two. You are a very sweet and kind person but so is Lisa I really do not think that Lisa ever intended to hurt or insult you in any way, I hope you can put your friendship with Lisa back ahead of the business as much as I admire your work ethic you said your father would quote something like keep your friends happy but take good care of your customers. You are such a good soul and so smart and savy you of all people should get the whole Lisa sense of humor with that Brit thing as she is just as hard working as you are and you are just two such wonderful people that I am on team "Lisa & Adrianne" to make it work on your friendship your jobs or businesses do not love you back. You are a very wonderful role model and I would be so blessed to have such a wonderful friend like you. Your qualities are boundless and your energy is palpable. I wish you all the sucess in the world and I wish I could afford a pair of your absolutely georgous shoes, had a tuff year but a woman can dream. I am a very big fan of yours and hope to watch again next season. Hugs & kisses xoxo you are a great mom as well as a very good wife they are lucky to have you. Your friends should consider themselves very lucky to have you and the ladies I think like you a lot. All the best to you for the new year. Gigi from New Hampshire
I really like you, but your dynamic seemed to change somewhat this year.
I think that the Maloof Hoof is a fabulous name, there was no insult implied, it is great marketing.
Wishing you and your family the very best!
And please come back for Season Three!
You are a class act all the way. My favorite "housewife" that never says an unkind word about anyone and says out of the drama. You are true to yourself, your own person, and a truly sincere person. Team Adrienne!
Adrienne...as always you are lovely, I admire how you have carried yourself with style and grace.Paul is absolutely hilarious, you guys might had been dubbed 'The Bickersons ' but that's what couples do at least you guys respect each other enough and not hit below the belt....Love to see more of you guys next season,curious to know if your brothers and Palms would be feature more on the show.
Adrienne, Yes, it was very funny watching Paul post colonoscopy! I was one of those viewers laughing hysterically! When he would announce, "Oh no...there's more air!" well, for an MD, it was very funny! He was fairly out of it but it had to make people laugh! I get a kick out of him. He is genuinely funny without trying too hard. It was a sad season for many reasons. A ton of confusion still exists for me regarding Taylor. I just hope she finds herself because she's lost in more ways than we know. Am happy for Kim and do believe she will find health and peace. You are always patient & kind to her. At times there was a palpable tension between you & Lisa. I hope that doesn't continue on both ends of the friendship. Take care & best wishes with your pets and Paul! Still loved that Hawaii kiss!!!
I enjoy watching you and Paul. I can tell there is a real closeness between the two of you.
I also wish Taylor well and hope she gets better, but I didn't like her last season and I still don't like her. I feel for her but I don't enjoy her on the show. I doubt Russell was all the blame in their relationship. Taylor has shown she has a temper herself and doesn't mind giving someone some "Oklahoma." I feel their relationship would have had a chance had they not been on the show.
But as far as you and Paul, we really enjoy watching you on the show.
My dearest Adrienne, Are we still naming the kitty cat.....Name her Adrienne!...Like looking in the mirror, how much fun is that...Love it...Thanks DR. Paul, that will be all!
Insecure and petty doesn't look good on you. You know Lisa was making a joke and if you hadn't made such a stink about it would already been forgotten. First you nose is out of joint because they had the Bachlorette party at the Hard Rock - a good family friend's business - and not at your place. Are you so hard up for business that you had to make Lisa feel bad? Then the funny little Maloof Hoof, come on, she wasn't making fun of you shoes, she made a JOKE. A play on words. Nothing more, nothing less. Something that seems lost on you this year. I like you and have always admired how you rose above the drama and was the voice of reason last year. This year you acted like you were pi$$ed off from the git go and was determined to make Lisa, in particular, look bad. I find Lisa to be one of the most genuine people in all of the housewives series and she is funny, and kind. It seemed like you and Kyle both ganged up on Lisa this year. Not nice.
Hi! I have enjoyed you and your husband so much especially now that I finally figured out your relationship the two of you have. In some ways reminds me of the one my husband and I had together. We were married for 46 years when he passed away with Parkinson's 4 1/2yrs ago.
Watching Paul and you in the hosptial after the procedure nearly killed me. It's rare to see TV and laugh out loud especially me.
I see that you all have the same kind of problems the rest of us have except you have nicer homes, clothes, etc. But I do love seeing your beautiful clothes and your shoes are to die for..... I'm 65 and I still haven't lost the urge to dress to the 9's I just fall a lot easier in very high heels more than I used too is all.... Hee! I used to take such pride in how I looked until John passed away but seeing how you ladies dress up for everything has put a spark back into my pride again. If that means anything to you, thanks.....
I hope Bravo continues with you all of ladies another season, if not I'll stop watching Bravo, tell that to the exec's.....
Your Fan D
Great season Adrienne - You and Paul = great comedy team Dolce - How sweet ! Maybe Bonny for Dolce's next playmate. or Far Niente Because cats are self actualized and know how sweet it is to do nothing...
Adrienne, you & your hubby crack me up. & we all know health care professionals make the worse patients.
Adrienne, I was shocked to hear the awful things your chef had to say about Lisa on his Facebook. So spiteful and incredibly unprofessional. If you don't get Lisa's humor that is your issue, but if a member of my staff ever treated a guest like that or spoke publicly about it they would be fired. It sounds like he got a lot of information from you. I hope not, you r much classier then this.
Good luck with the shoes, they look amazing.
I really can't understand your "cattyness" towards Lisa. I didn't see anything malicious about the joke she made about your shoe line. Here we were again at another "housewives" reunion with everyone ganging up on one housewife, this time Lisa, and Andy leading the charge. Ridiculouse how you all turned on her.
I thought the colonoscopy segment was super funny and I did laugh pretty hard. As much as you pick on your husband, he seems like a really nice guy. I think you should try and appreciate him more. I also thought it was odd that you wouldn't help him in the bathroom. I know it's gross and it was on camera --- but he's your husband and your best friend and your baby daddy, so I think maybe you could have been there more for him. He wouldn't have asked if he didn't need the help. Just my two cents.
Dear Adrienne,
You and Paul are such a lovely couple, and so fun to watch. You both have a great sense of humor and a true respect of how hard the other person has worked to be where they are. I also appreciate your kindness towards everyone you meet and your down-to-earth nature. What a delight it has been to watch you, Kyle and Lisa every Monday night. The season was at times dramatic, whimsical, fun, tragic, and funny, but always engaging. I'm already in Housewives-withdrawl but at least we have a 3-part reunion to look forward to.
Thanks for keeping it real, and for your warmth and kindness towards strangers and friends alike. My one itsy-bitsy request is that you produce a vegan shoe line. Let's stop the unnecessary suffering of innocent and loving animals.
Very much looking forward to next season. Thanks for giving 100%.
I watched the episode where her husband had the colonoscopy and I have to say I haven't laughed that hard in a VERY long time. He is too funny and I appreciate his humor. They have to be the cutest couple. I love how they bicker. I guarantee that's what keeps them strong. Plus, they both have a great sense of humor. For those that have had a colonoscopy, you will completely appreciate and get a kick out of how funny that episode was. Thanks for the laugh.
It was good to see you and your husband having such a good time at the wedding. I wish you a pleasant rest from all the hissy fits and crazy dramas going on this season. I honestly do not see why you put up with it. Paul is a dear. It was brave of him to stand up to Russell's machinations. I really expected him to sue you next.
Hi Adrienne! :) First off I would LOOOOOVE to have your spa/beautifully/workout?? LOL Oh, and some of that Paul. ;) He is funny and smart, gets right to the problem and and tells it like it is.
I so wish this season isn't over. I will miss all of you exceptfortaylor. ;) Sorry Taylor, I do like you lots but would love to see you with no problems and no screaming. I know losing Bill took a lot out of you and your family are so y'all are in my thoughts and prayers.
Adrienne. I really like you and Paul's down to earth altitude, you never throw the "money" thing around. Can't wait for the reunions and I hope Andy brings out the boys (Paul) lol...sooner then the end.

You and Lisa are my favorites, however, HOW CAN YOU LET YOUR 'EMPLOYEE', BERNIE SAY/POST THE TERRIBLE LIES ABOUT LISA???? I always considered you a savvy business woman & savvy bussiness women who have employed domestic help of any sort always have 'confidentially agreements' whereas the employee does not disclose or discuss 'anything' that happens within his environment of which he's employeed...... BERNIE IS DISGUSTING & APPEARS TO WANT FAME WITH HIS LIES........ In my opinion, by standing by Bernie & his lies, it also affects your reputation......... Hopefully, you're not like most & are envenious of Lisa.......
Hi Adrienne, I always found you to be the voice of reason. However, your bruised ego regarding Lisa's choices puzzle me. When you harped on Pandora choosing to go to Hard Rock in Vegas, it really was none of your business. Pandora could go anywhere she pleased for her own event. It wasn't up to Lisa to change her mind. When Lisa dubbed your shoes as the "Maloof Hoof" I thought it was affectionately said. Please don't sweat the small stuff. Meanwhile, you all accepted Taylor's account of her life with meek Russell. In both seasons, she instigated friction among the group. Once Russell was gone, she seemed very happy to get back into the social scene that his existence denied her. Let's face it, your connection to her is relatively new. Yet, she dragged you all into her vortex and manipulated every event to focus on her. Somehow, I don't fully trust her story. As for Paul's colonoscopy, I understood why he was so hazy after it. Why didn't you drive him home from the test? He was in no condition to get home on his own, was he? Thanks for sharing your life with the viewers. Your reasonableness balanced the unbalanced cast members: Kim, Taylor, and Kyle. You're a lovely lady.
I like the name you chose for your cat. One of my dogs is also named "Dolce." However, I don't like the name "Visco." In Spanish, Visco means cross-eyed. I think you should change his name to Disco.
I'm sure you are sick of hearing it, but the part with Paul was probably one of the funniest moments on any Housewives show ever. Second runner up may have been when Lisa was trying to show you how to prepare the chicken and you washed it with hand soap. I could not stop laughing at either event, but the colonscopy scene was the best! You guys are too funny!
Another great season with you Adrienne. I can't wait for the next one. You're my favorite on the show. I like that you are diplomatic and down to earth. I especially love seeing you and Paul together in scenes. Hope to see you both next season.
Thanks for sharing your life with us again! Can't wait until next season!!! Good luck with your shoe line! Plan on heading out the Palms in May for my first trip!!! Can't wait to see it after seeing parts of it on the show!
You are a beautiful, talented, smart woman who has everything a person could hope for. A wonderful, funny husband, adorable children, fabulous lifestyle so why on earth do you need to be so mean and nasty to Lisa?
Maloof Hoof was a play on your name and footwear - your new business venture, nothing more, nothing less and you had to make it something it wasn't.
And the whole Hard Rock vs your place thing was over played, too. Really, you went in determined to make Lisa feel bad when it wasn't about you or Lisa. It was Padora's bachelorette party, it was being hosted by a long-time family friend - what a gracious gesture - and you tried to make it all about you. Lisa doesn't owe you or anyone an explanation or an apology for what is decided for her daughter's wedding. You need business that bad you would hurt a friend like that? You owe Lisa an apology for both incidents.
I like you, think you are a real asset to the show - but lose the attitude directed entirely towards Lisa and have fun again.
Paul is such a great addition to this show. He's funny, handsome and smart. Becareful with him you don't know what you have till it's gone.
Adrienne, I know you are a hard working woman but you are also, one lucky girl!! You do things that you enjoy doing and you shine at them! You have a great family, an amazing husband in Paul, girl you have it all!!! And yes, I envy you! haha I wish you all the best with your shoe line, I know it will be a success!
Adrienne - Paul is hysterical. That was just the best. On another note, I love you, you are real, don't hold back always tell the truth. It is good to see a voice of reason in some the episodes. And I love you and Paul's relationship - and regardless whether you bicker sometimes or not, your love for eachother is obvious. Great season, thank you!
Camille & Adrienne-you 2 are my favorites!! I LOVE your class, style, grace & elegantness that just flows effortlessly. My dream vacation would be to just spend 1 day with both of you & HOPE that everything that I love about you 2 would rub off of me. I'd be happy with even a quarter of what you 2 posses to rub off on me & my teenage son!!
If you ask me, you and Paul have the most rational way of thinking compare to everyone else. It is your excellent reasoning that spiraled you into success. Paul is so charming in showing affection for you and Dismissing your little antics toward him. His ability not to feel offended by your sometimes-affectionless treatment of him and annoyance seems to pass by him. Just watch it and learn from it. Appreciate him for what he is rather then to be annoyed by what he is not.
I love love Adrienne and Paul. Their dynamic is so hot and fun and honest. Adrienne is so strong and what a terrific role model. On a side note: I am from Albuquerque and went to Highland with Gavin. They were well off then, but was so down to earth and quite funny. He is also the reason I dont drink beer to this day LOL. Adrienne and Paul, keep doing your thing. You guys are the best.

By Nancy McCleary Staff writer
ROWLAND - A fire severely burned a woman and destroyed the control tower at the 710 Drag Strip in Robeson County on Saturday, authorities said.
The woman, who was taken to UNC Hospitals in Chapel Hill, has not been identified, said Lt. Brian Duckworth of the Robeson County Sheriff's Office.
The fire was reported at 2:20 p.m. before a scheduled race event planned by owners Jerry Dean and Edith Oxendine that evening, Duckworth said.
The tower housed the concession stand on its lower level, along with a walk-in cooler and a bathroom, Duckworth said.
The control booth, used for racing events, was upstairs.
The cause of the fire has not been determined, but arson is not suspected, Duckworth said.
"All we know is a lady named Susie said she was going to add oil to the deep fryer and the next thing we know, the whole building is on fire," he said.
Duckworth said he said he hopes to be able to speak with the woman by today.
Oxendine suffered burns while trying to help the other woman and was taken to Southeastern Regional Medical Center, Duckworth said. She was not listed as a patient there Wednesday, a hospital spokeswoman said.
Two other employees, one in a walk-in cooler and another in a restroom, were not hurt, Duckworth said.

Hello there!
I've looking for something that could add some replayability to my missions and found AI Manager by 6th Sense. The problem is I can nowhere find working link to this mod/scripts. If someone know where to find the mod it would be pretty cool to know the link.
Even cooler would be if you could give some ideas on how to make patrolling unit that could react to alarms triggered by enemy or player. You know, some guys are patroling around base, but in near city bunch of bad players is attacking so the patrolling guys take truck or transporter and go check what is going on in the trigger alarm zone. If attackers are gone (escaped or have been killed) the patrolling guys are going back to HQ and can react to other alarms.
I know some scripting just don't have idea how to get it together. For now I'm stucked with cycled waypoints and trigger with "On Activation: patrol doMove alarm_trig" things. They are going to the point but are too short in the area and are immediately returning to their "Waypoints".
Thanks in advance!
with regards,

1993 Mitsubishi montero Steelcraft Grille Guards
Having a 1993 Mitsubishi montero grille guard by Steelcraft on your vehicles is a good way to gear up your ride and enable you to keep on with a venturesome lifestyle. Besides, no matter how careful one may be while driving, accidents may happen. A driver may run against extended tree branches that can cause scratches to the headlights and to the other components on the front end. Another driver might underestimate his braking on a slippery road and get into a major collision against other car. The Steelcraft brush guard can protect the vehicle from minor accidents on low-impact crashes.
On a major head-on collision, on the other hand, it can reduce the damage against the vehicle's body as it takes most of the initial shock. With this tough grille guard for 1993 Mitsubishi montero, various components of a vehicle are spared from being damaged. Steelcraft Bull Bars are skillfully constructed with high quality 3" diameter tubing and are available in black eCoat or T304 polished stainless steel. The integrated skid plate provides additional style and protection for your truck or SUV. The optional lighting clamps increase safety and give your 1993 Mitsubishi montero a sporty look. Installation is simple and requires no cutting or drilling. Installation is simple and requires no cutting or drilling.
Steelcraft eCOATING
Electrocoating is a unique environmentally friendly organic finishing process that uses electrical current for paint deposition. Upon submersion an electrical charge is applied to the steel and an opposite electrical charge is applied to the special paint solution. Unlike simple powdercoating, this creates a seamless bond between the steel and the paint resulting in a uniform protecting coating over 100% of the steel inside and out.
Steelcraft T304 Polished Stainless Steel
There are many grades of stainless steel available. Resistant to corrosion, rust, and pitting T304 surpasses automotive requirements and is even approved for use in certain pharmaceutical applications. While there are many economical alternatives, Steelcraft is committed to excellence and will always use only the highest quality of materials available.

Everything from the Denzel Washington blockbuster "Flight" to "Finding Nemo 3D" can be seen this weekend when the Century Aurora movie theater opens its doors.
After undergoing renovations in the wake being the site of a July 20 mass shooting that left 12 people dead and 58 injured, owner Cinemark will open the theater to the public on Friday, offering free movies through Jan. 21. The theater that at the time was called the Century 16 will now be called the Century Aurora.
The public can pick up tickets at the theater beginning Friday.
Cinemark has not said if concessions will be free ,as well.
After the free movie weekend, Cinemark will close and then reopen again Jan. 25.
Cinemark planned to spend about $1 million changing the look of the complex inside and out.
The purple hue and neon lights on the theater's towering facade have been replaced with a more somber swamp green.
According to building plans filed with the city, Cinemark made significant changes to Theater 9 — where the shooting took place — transforming it into an "extreme digital" theater with wall-to-wall and ceiling-to-floor screens.
On Thursday, a night of remembrance will take place as Mayor Steve Hogan, Gov. John Hickenlooper and Cinemark CEO Tim Warner are expected to deliver remarks.

Hermosa Beach Homeowner Chooses to Deconstruct 1930s Home & Donate Valuable Materials to Benefit Community & EnvironmentFebruary 7, 2013 Salvaged Building Materials Donated to help Build Affordable Housing
Hermosa Beach, CA February 7, 2013: Deconstruction & ReUse Network (DRN), an environmental and social benefit organization, recently assisted Bonnie MacLeod and Dr. David Brunner of Hermosa Beach with the deconstruction of her 1930s home for reuse and recycling. DRN develops programs for property owners to ensure structures slated for remodel or tear down will be reused and recycled. Deconstruction is environmentally practical and, in most cases, provides property owners with significant tax deductions. Most projects are completed in three weeks or less. Situated a few blocks from the ocean in Hermosa Beach, this 1,200 square-foot home was built in 1931. The one-story home, which included a basement, yielded nearly 6.5 tons of reusable rough lumber (made up of mostly old growth, true dimensional wood,) 4,500 bricks, 300 clay roof tiles, 1,000 square-feet of hardwood flooring, numerous windows, doors, and vintage light fixtures. Once again DRN partnered with Larry Murakami Contracting to deconstruct this home. Proper planning is the key to successful deconstruction, yet often times it is the last thing a homeowner thinks about. That is where DRN comes in. According to DRN President Lorenz Schilling, A typical home can yield as much as 85% diversion through reuse and recycling. With traditional home demolition, materials that can and should be repurposed are sent to the local landfill. Deconstruction is a responsible and effective solution for the environment and it benefits the community. MacLeod said: I was fascinated by the whole process of deconstruction and impressed by the quantity and quality of the materials salvaged from my home. As General Contractor, MacLeod plans to incorporate deconstruction into all her future projects, adding, We need to educate homebuilders with the benefits of recycling materials and decrease the demand for new building products that may otherwise be easily substituted. If we can convey to our clients the tax equivalent savings, and attempt to make up the two weeks of deconstruction with savings elsewhere, I believe we can incorporate deconstruction as part of our business platform with being a steward of the environment. DRNs South Bay representative Kristiaan Vergel-de-Dios began the process by identifying and inventorying all reusable (and donation worthy) items in the home. Next, Larry Murakami Contracting carefully dismantled the home and organized all salvageable materials under Vergel-de-Dios direction. DRNs local reuse partner-venue Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles ReStore in Gardena received the salvaged building materials for resale and reuse within the community and to help fund affordable housing. To view photos please visit our photo gallery. DRN is an environmental and social benefit 501(c)(3) dedicated to promoting and empowering deconstruction practices and the reuse of quality building materials through collaboration. The organization endeavors to secure continued life for reusable items in order to reduce waste. DRN facilitates charitable reuse of surplus property and building materials through partnerships with Habitat for Humanity affiliates in California, and the housing ministry, Corazón. About Deconstruction & ReUse Network: Deconstruction & ReUse Network is an environmental and social benefit corporation 501(c)(3), whose mission is to promote and empower deconstruction practices and to grow a greater reuse network for quality building materials through partnerships with complimentary operations and organizations. Deconstruction & ReUse Network currently serves Northern and Southern California with partnerships that benefit Habitat for Humanity and Corazon. www.Decon-Network.org # # # Lorenz Schilling DRN T: 562-307-6065 firstname.lastname@example.com Angela Moore Starfish P.R.

Indian and Himalayan Art Harinegameshin Transfers Mahavira's Embryo or Rajasthan, India, Asia Jainism, c. 1300-50 Artist/maker unknown, India Opaque watercolor, ink, and gold on palm leaf Currently not on view 2001-184-1 |
125th Anniversary Acquisition. Purchased with the Stella Kramrisch Fund and with funds contributed by the Committee on Indian and Himalayan Art in honor of Alvin O. Bellak, 2001LabelMany of the earliest illustrated palm leaf books were commissioned by devotees of Jainism, one of India's most ancient spiritual traditions. Like this page of a Jain Kalpasutra, the text on both Jain palm leaf and later Jain paper manuscripts runs continuously from the far left of each page, interrupted periodically by standardized illustrations of important scenes. Each page has a central bordered area with a demarcated hole in the middle. Through this hole would have run a string that tied the pages together and wrapped around the long wooden covers. To read the book, the string would be loosened and each page flipped horizontally in turn. Thus the backs of the pages are written upside down. |

Survey of Energy Resources 2007
Geothermal Country Notes
Japan has a long history of geothermal utilisation, both direct and for power generation. It is one of the world leaders in terms of generation of electricity. The first experimental power generation took place in 1925, with the first full-scale commercial plant (23.5 MWe) coming on-line at Matsukawa, in the north of the main island of Honshu, in 1966. Following each of the two oil crises, development of Japan's geothermal resources was accelerated and by end-1984, 314.6 MWe capacity had been commissioned. Growth continued and unit size decreased as technological improvements occurred. By end-2003, installed capacity stood at 535.25 MWe (consisting of 20 units at 18 locations). The existing plants are all located in the Tohoku region of northern Honshu and on the southern island of Kyushu.
The country's geothermal potential is estimated to be in the order of 24.6 GWe. Only a small fraction of this potential has been used to date and until ways of tapping Japan's deep resources can be developed, this situation will prevail. In 2000 the planned government deregulation of the electricity sector took place. This was followed in 2003 by the Special Law Concerning the Use of Renewable Energy by Electric Utilities - a method for the encouragement of generation from renewable energies by means of a renewable portfolio standard (RPS). In the case of geothermal, the RPS is confined to binary-cycle plants.
In recent years, development of electricity generating plant has been slow but at the beginning of 2004 a 2 MWe power unit was installed at the Hatchobaru power station - the first binary-cycle plant in Japan.
Direct use of geothermal hot water has a long tradition in Japan, where enjoyment of natural baths (more than 25 000) is a national recreation. In 2005 it was estimated that total installed capacity for direct use totalled more than 400 MWt (excluding recreational hot-spring bathing). Of the total, hot water supply and swimming pools account for 26%, space heating 25%, snow melting 23%, greenhouse heating 11%, air-conditioning/cooling 10% (70%-30% split), fish breeding 4%, ground heat uses (including heat pumps) 1% and industrial and other uses negligible.

Texting makes you a linguistic Soup Nazi, study says
The other day, my mouth was agape with awe when I learned of all the texting acronyms associated with love. And, um, sex.
What artistic mind could have concocted the abbreviation "D46" to signify "Down For Sex"? Which can be used as a question, as well as a command.
And yet a researcher at the University of Calgary has disabused my notion that texters are the linguistic liberals of tomorrow.
For, as the Calgary Herald spells it out, deeply committed texters are deeply conservative when it comes to words.

Everybody has accepted that the newspaper industry is in real trouble. The debate is now what newspapers can do to survive and rebuild for the internet era we live in.
Paid content seems like one of the most immediate possible solutions for stemming declining print and advertising revenues but paid content isn't easy for a number of reasons.

A friend of mine was recently hired as the ad director for a mid-market newspaper, owned by the Tribune Company. After he was there about a month I asked him, "so how do you plan on selling ads for a dying media?"
"For starters," he said, "I do something absolutely no one in that office does. Every morning I read the newspaper. Cover-to-cover."

As newspapers continue the struggle to adapt and survive in a digital world, just about everyone in the business is trying to figure out how to make journalism a profitable exercise in the 21st century, especially online.
Charging for content is back in vogue, but charging for valuable content that publishers have foolishly devalued through ad-supported business models that don't look so great today is a tough proposition.

A website I run is undergoing a makeover and is down for the day, and I wanted to show somebody the old version. As such I aimed for the Google cache, which is useful in this sort of situation.
I noticed that the cache had updated in the early hours of the morning, and as such I couldn't see our old site. Bugger.
It seems that Google is caching news sites with increasing frequency. Yet some newspaper websites don't like Google caching at all...

With massive layoffs hitting major companies around the world there's no shortage of people looking for jobs.
But at the same time companies are watching how much they spend and want the most bang for their buck anyway they can get it. That's true when it comes to recruiting too.

Plenty of Fish is one of the most popular dating websites in the world. Despite the fact that it's visually unappealing, there's good reason for its popularity. Unlike most of its competitors, Plenty of Fish is totally free.
Its operator, Markus Frind, reportedly makes $10m a year from advertising displayed on Plenty of Fish. On average, it's said that he puts in about 10 hours a week running the site.

If The New York Times fails, it won't be for lack of effort. The cash-strapped Gray Lady launched an aggressive new content-driven effort today, aimed at more engaged readers and hopefully, new advertisers.
It's called "The Local." Before you say, "Right, newspapers are local," understand this is actually hyperlocal. It's an attempt by The Times to re-position itself from the center of the globe to the center of town.

That the newspaper business is ailing isn't exactly news. With some newspapers closing altogether and others doing what they can to deal with still-declining revenue, it's clear that the newspaper industry needs to adapt.
The internet is increasingly the medium that newspapers are turning to as they try to adapt but it's not a quick fix.

It seems that The Telegraph has been using Digg successfully to drive more traffic to its website, and provides a useful example for other newspaper and blogs to follow.
By encouraging readers to Digg the stories they are reading on the newspaper site, The Telegraph has managed to increase the amount of traffic it receives from the social news site, and is now largest recipient of Digg traffic in the UK.

The Telegraph released an iPhone app last week, the first to be developed by any of the UK's newspapers, though others will surely follow.

Road to Emmaus (20x24 Framed Art) (Framed Art)
by Liz Lemon Swindle
Not currently available
Domestic and International Shipping Options
Product Description
Frames may vary slightly
Story Behind the Art
Too often we are like the two
who walked along the road
We think that we are all alone
With none to share the load.
We do not see our loving friend
Beside us on our way
Carrying us through life's dark nights
Into a brighter day.
So as we walk our own roads to
Emmaus may we see
That we will never be alone
Unless we choose to be.
About the Author

In the early 1980s she tutored under renowned wildlife artist, Nancy Glazier. In 1992, Liz began painting a subject matter she had long desired to approach: her faith. Her paintings are now held in corporate and private collections around the world and have been published in countless magazines and books. Liz and her husband Jon have five children and thirteen grandchildren.

When my Wife saw this months Deseret Book Sales Catalog. She first opened to the Art and Home section. At the top of the page, she saw the Painting of "Road to Emmaus" by Liz Lemon Swindle. She started to cry, she had thought she had seen this before, but in the painting it was (Her and I) walking with Jesus Christ. Because of her stroke and my Disability, its as if Jesus walks with US through out our Life. Helping and pushing us along when thing get tough. It is now hanging in our bedroom, and as we walk out of our room, it reminds us that Jesus Christ is with us through Good times and Bad.

The holidays are a time for celebration, food, festivities and traditions. Michigan has unique connections to many of these.
During the 12 Days of Michigan, we will celebrate all that our state has to offer with a Michigan holiday fact each day. Stay tuned to see the entire list!
Day 1: Monday, December 2
Michigan grows more than 300 farm commodities including a holiday meal favorite – cranberries! Our nearly 300 acres produce more than 3 million pounds of cranberries a year.
Day 2: Tuesday, December 3
Do you enjoy a Honeybaked Ham for holiday dinners? Did you know that the recipe, crunchy sweet glaze and unique machine that slices the ham were all invented in Michigan? In 1957, Harry J. Hoenselaar opened the first HoneyBaked Ham Company in Detroit and it has since grown to be more than 400 stores nationwide.
Day 3: Wednesday, December 4
December 4 marks the third annual Menorah In the D on the last night of Chanukah. The 24-foot menorah was designed and built by local artists and brothers Erik and Israel Nordin and stands proudly in Campus Martius/Cadillac Square.
Day 4: Thursday, December 5
Looking for a one-of-a-kind festive event? Experience scenes of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" with Downtown Holly's 40th Annual Dickens Festival, visit the largest Christmas store at Frankenmuth's Bronner's CHRISTmas Wonderland or view one of the 1.5 million twinkling lights at Rochester's Big Bright Light Show. For more events, visit michigan.org/events.
Day 5: Friday, December 6
Picking out a fresh, fragrant Christmas tree is often a holiday tradition. Michigan ranks third in the nation in the number of Christmas trees harvested and produces a wider variety of trees than almost any other state, supplying approximately three million fresh Christmas trees nationally each year. The 2013 Michigan state Christmas tree is a 71-foot blue spruce that traveled 460 miles from Iron River and now stands in the Capitol.
Day 6: Monday, December 9
If every family in the U.S. shifted $10 a month to locally-owned, independent businesses instead of national chains, over $9.3 billion would be directly returned to local economies. With nearly 98% of all businesses in Michigan being small businesses, it's important to support local retailers this holiday season including popular pop up shops that are making their way from downtown Detroit to Grand Rapids.
Day 7: Tuesday, December 10
Kwanzaa is celebrated each year between December 26 and January 1. In Detroit, many families gather to reflect and honor its founding principles. The Charles H. Wright Museum will pay tribute to this holiday's rich cultural heritage with a candle lighting each night followed by evening festivities.
