Web designers have access to countless rich media tools and social applications, why should they still care about the humble form?
How customers interact with you
Think about the last dozen web sites you visited. How many asked you for information? Whether it's an account registration, a comment on a blog post, a web forum or a survey, chances are there was a form to gather your information.
HTML forms are important components of modern websites. It's how your customers tell you who they are, sign up for services and purchase your products. They are the major way your users communicate with you.
If you are truly interacting with your web site's users you will need to gather some information about them at some point and most of the time this is done through a form.
But people hate forms
So why haven't HTML forms gotten the attention they deserve? I blame much of it on crappy design and inappropriate use. There are some of nice tools out there that make creating HTML forms easy, unfortunately the forms created with these tools is often not well thought out.
Badly designed or badly placed forms can cause user frustration, taking them out of the web sites experience. One of the worst examples of this is the popup survey. If I'm reading your site trying to find a recipe for the ten pounds of zucchini that are in my garden, I don't want to fill in a survey about your new credit card cross promotion.
Regardless of your form there are some basic things that you should consider:
- Context – ask for the right information at the right time. Sure you need the customer's shipping address, but ask for it at the right time (and pre-fill it if it's a returning customer).
- Functionality – the form should work as users are expecting it to. I know it sounds silly, but there is no easier way to lose audience than to fill in a form and not have the submit button work (or worse have it reset the form).
This also means you should follow the standard conventions for forms. For example; if you are providing an exclusive choice, use a radio button and not a check box. When users see a check box they assume that they can choose multiple items.
- Security – Your gathering, potentially sensitive, customer information. It is extremely important to ensure that that data is handled appropriately.
- Design – This is far too broad a subject for this one post, but needless to say you should give the same consideration to form design as you would any other aspect of the site.
Think small
The vast majority of web based forms are simple, with only a handful of fields. By no means are these insignificant, the data gathered here drives the customer experience for many web sites.
In fact, I would argue that these are more important as data gathering devices than the large complex forms, at least it terms of web design:
- They are completed more often. People are more inclined to fill out a four field form than a four page one.
- They are easier to build and update. Less complex forms are easier to put together and deploy, meaning that there is a better chance that they will see the light of day
- The total amount of information gathered is several times that of complex forms. Think of all of the little bits of information you are asked for in the course of a day.
Your Thoughts
What are your thoughts? Do you feel that HTML forms have a place in the modern web design toolkit? Is your organization using HTML forms to interact with your audience?
Completely unrelated side note:
A few of you may have noticed that I have changed the name of this blog from "Steampowered" to "Enterprise…I Think". There are a couple of reasons for this: 1 – To avoid confusion with another web site. 2 – My role at Adobe has recently changed and the change in the blog's focus will reflect that change. Cheers, Mike.

And this is surprising.....?
And this is surprising.....?
Other article said 'Apple increases lead over Samsung'. What am I supposed to believe?
Droid rules!
Before all the samsung fanatics get too excited you may want to read the whole article. This line in particular:
The survey doesn't include Apple's retail stores, where many iPhones are sold.
Well it's by far a better smart phone, so I'm not surprised.
This makes me laugh. I remember people whined and cried about having to go to AT&T. So many swore the iPhone would sell better at Verizon than AT&T. Yet here we are 3 years later and AT&T is still selling more.
If I can't mod it...I don't want it.
You Can Trade in Your Old iPhone Now That Apple Is So Scared of Samsung You Can Trade in Your Old iPhone Now That Apple Is So Scared of Samsung
quality in my opinion is having a phone that does not shatter when dropped. a phone that does not come OUT OF THE BOX with paint chipped, scuffs and scratches. a phone not prone to dents, a phone that does not have light bleed under the screen, a phone that does not have muted outgoing calls--just some of the issues that plagued the iPhone 5. but dont take my word for it, I got it straight from apple's "support forums"
you're also right about customer experience. no iPhone user has ever experienced;
usb ports
hdmi ports
micro sd card slots
removable batteries
7.1 surround sound
720p or 1080p HD displays
voice control (not voice commands but actual voice control)
NFC or any other ability to share content
flash support
the ability to add content OF YOUR CHOOSING onto YOUR device WITHOUT restrictions
ability to download content from the web
MULTItasking !!
screen sizes over 4"
many form factors and models to choose from.
and like 100 other things.

OK, I see the point, but I've seriously never used mine...hdmi ports
You mean the ones that are virtually useless because you can't store apps on them?micro sd card slots
The only time I ever removed my phone's battery was when it overheated or froze up. Since that doesn't happen with apple...removable batteries
How does that effect anything on a phone? It's not like I'm carrying a stereo system around.7.1 surround sound
Gotta admit, that'd be nice...720p or 1080p HD displays
I fail to see the difference.voice control (not voice commands but actual voice control)
I've yet to see this have any practical use. If needed, I've always got Bump.NFC or any other ability to share content
Flash doesn't even support Android anymore. Plus, most programs that use flash require a mouse and keyboard.flash support
Really? So I guess the point of rooting is what now?the ability to add content OF YOUR CHOOSING onto YOUR device WITHOUT restrictions
That would be nice...widgets
I see the point, but, I'd never use it...ability to download content from the web
To be perfectly honest, I prefer Apple's multitasking. Apparently I'm a minority though...MULTItasking !!
If I wanted something that big, I'd get an iPad mini.screen sizes over 4"
You mean all the rectangles with rounded edges?many form factors and models to choose from.
Oh, right. Those couple thousand crap apps.and like 100 other things.
And before you go hating, I own an android phone (simply because it was free) and an Android tablet (much cheaper than an iPad) so I do actually get Android. I love the thought behind Android. I just don't like it as much as iOS.

I'm not sure what "street corner" you're buying your iphones from, but I've NEVER experienced any problems like that with my idevices, and my entire family has been using them since they launched. Being totally honest...from the Iphone to the Ipad, the devices have always been perfect. I've seen SEVERAL of the devices on a personal level and corporate world (I'm a Systems Tech Analyst a major airline) and that has NEVER been the case. Some of the stuff that the apple devices will be used for in the business world is going to trip folks out.

Sussex spinner Ashar Zaidi has been handed a suspended one-match ban by the club for criticising an umpiring decision on Twitter.
Zaidi was disappointed to be given out lbw by Nigel Llong during Tuesday's LV= County Championship match against Somerset and appeared to gesture with his bat to suggest he had hit the ball.
But it was what followed off the field that has landed the 32-year-old in hot water.
Shortly after his dismissal he tweeted "stinker #wtf" in what was taken to be a damning reference to the verdict.
The message was quickly removed but he was disciplined on Thursday for what the county deemed a "Twitter-related incident".
Sussex players had been warned in pre-season about their social media responsibilities and Zaidi is the first to fall short of expectations.
A club statement read: "Ashar Zaidi has been given a suspended one match suspension for the 2014 season.
"Zaidi has apologised for his behaviour and regrets his actions deeply."

Hi all
Targeting childhood obesity is a big ticket item on our health agenda in Australia. Some time ago a link between formula feeding and childhood obesity was posed by researchers which has been hotly debated since.
As Australia watches the new season of Australia's Biggest Looser, this time with overweight and obese parents and children as the contesting teams, I thought some may be interested in just exactly why researchers continue to bang the drum for breast over bottle in fighting childhood obesity.
This article breaks down for you how these researchers came to their conclusion and what the links are between formula feeding and overweight and obesity in childhood: Formula Feeding and Childhood Obesity: Is there a link?
What do you think about the research and how did it (or didn't it) play into a choice to breastfeed your baby, or a plan to do so when one arrives?

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 1/11/2012 (1755 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Tim BURKE has wanted to be like Bear Bryant since he was a little kid growing up in tiny Homestead, Iowa (pop. 100).
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers would also like Burke to be just like the one-time winningest head coach in NCAA history and on Thursday announced they would give him the chance as they removed the label "interim" from Burke's title and officially made him the 29th head coach in Bombers franchise history.
And with that, a six-year-old kid who fell in love with the idea of being a coach while watching NCAA football at his grandparents' house on this new thing called "colour television" has finally achieved a lifelong dream in becoming, with no asterisks this time, a 58-year-old rookie head coach.
"My grandparents had a colour TV, which not many people did at that time -- which obviously dates me," Burke recalled Thursday.
"I remember Bear Bryant prowling up and down the sidelines as the head coach at the University of Alabama... And I thought to myself, 'That's what I want to be someday. When I'm done playing, I want to be a coach. And some day I want to be head coach.'
"So for me, this is a dream come true."
It also has the potential to be a nightmare. The Bombers are just 3-6 since Burke took over from Paul LaPolice in late August and are 5-12 overall as they head into their final regular-season game Saturday at Canad Inns Stadium against the Montreal Alouettes.
Burke largely gets a free pass on what the club has done since he took over from LaPolice in mid-season, but starting next year there will no longer be any grace period for the head coach of a football team whose championship drought will enter its 23rd year and whose fan base is as collectively angry and agitated as they've perhaps ever been.
Burke said he will "probably" bring back the existing Bombers coaching staff in 2013, praising the crew he inherited from LaPolice as among the most knowledgeable he's ever worked with.
But there will be at least one fresh coaching face next year -- Burke says he will hire a new defensive co-ordinator to replace himself after doing that job, the head coach's job and the job of defensive backs coach for the past couple of months on his own.
Burke said he was hopeful to have a new man in place soon.
The leading candidates would almost certainly include Bombers linebacker coach Chip Garber, who was the defensive co-ordinator for the Toronto Argonauts in 2010-11, and current Hamilton defensive co-ordinator and former Bombers linebackers coach Casey Creehan, who is close to Burke and might find himself looking for work this winter after a 2012 season that saw the Hamilton defence struggle.
The news that Burke is being retained for next season was greeted enthusiastically in the Bombers locker-room, where he is well liked and highly respected.
"He can be soft-spoken but when he needs to crack down on guys, he can do it and that's where the respect comes from," said safety Ian Logan. "But he doesn't overdo it. There's nothing worse than a coach who's screaming all the time. And so when he does voice his concerns in a vocal way, you know that he means it."
Offensive lineman Glenn January said the Bombers are lucky to have Burke, who was a runner-up last winter for the Hamilton head coaching job that went to George Cortez.
"He's a good head coach," said January.
"And for him to have the 'interim' term lifted from his title, it helps the team understand that this is not... this vague future. This is a building point for the future."

text: I grew up in Anchorage, Alaska, and knew that I wanted to go to a conservative private Christian college in the lower 48 – perhaps on the west coast somewhere. I also knew I wouldn't settle for anything less than the best and most rigorous academics. I chose Grove City College because in my mind nothing can compare with it. Where else can you get such a great education, in a conservative and Christian environment at such a low cost? I looked at other options, but found none.Next fall I will be studying in France — taking part in a program for first-semester, junior-year, mechanical engineering majors. Grove City College. There's nothing else like it.

"Game changer" is a term you hear often when people talk about how technology has changed their industry.
We have all experienced failure at some time or another. For one person, it might be botching an important job interview, for another, it might be working on a third divorce.

 For a small business owner, failure is a natural part of the landscape. Every day is another opportunity to succeed or fail.

 Here are the most common missteps business owners make:

 • "Winging it" as a constant strategy: You built the business to a profitable level on raw instinct, passion, and drive. Now you have employees, customers, and lots of obligations. You're not really sure what to do next. Losing a big client, increased competition, or employee turnover could put you back in the red. Trouble is on the horizon, and you're burying your head in the sand. Optimism is important—but so is having the foresight to realize when you are getting in too deep.

 • "It's just the way things were always done": Using the past as a road map for building a long-lasting business may create some issues in today's environment. Increasing competition, a changing economy, and the Internet demonstrate that business has changed dramatically just in the last five to 10 years. If you're not moving forward, you're being left behind. Unfortunately, most old-school business owners find this out after their business has lost profitability, or worse, they've already closed their doors.

 • Doing things "alone": Some accomplishments are meant to be done without assistance, such as running a 5K or closing a sale. What should never be done completely alone is building a business. Not having the ability to ask questions or learn from someone more experienced than you is a recipe for disaster. By not having the right business coach, accountant, or strategic partners, a small business owner has little chance of succeeding long term.

 If one of the three examples sounds like someone you know, or perhaps even yourself, don't worry—there's still hope. Here are a few simple suggestions that might turn a possible failure into a real opportunity for success.

 Idea No. 1: Seek out a business coach or consultant. Learning from someone who has been successful coaching other business owners is one of the easiest ways to grow your business. Be sure the individual coach fits your personality, has a proven track record of success, and solid references you can speak with before making a decision.

 Idea No. 2: Find someone in your specific industry who would be willing to help you. Seeking out a mentor who has "been there, done that" might be what you need to help you build your business. For example, if you are in the closet and cabinets business, find someone in a different market who is willing to take you under his or her wing. Weekly meetings over the phone will allow you to ask questions and share ideas with someone who has taken your business route and succeeded.

 Idea No. 3: Reading sales- and business-related materials will keep you fresh and sharp in building your business. Talk to the most successful businesspeople you know and ask them what they have read. Ask them, "What did you learn from the last book you read? Has it helped to improve your business?"

 Unfortunately, business has never been more challenging than right now. In a world where failure means your livelihood slipping away, it's best not to take chances. If your business is not achieving the results you desire, make the right decision and ask for help.

"Who Do You Think You Are?" | Genealogy fun
Read over the entire report on the Archives.com blog.
If "Who Do You Think You Are?" had aired 20 years ago, I probably would have missed half the episodes because I never did figure out how to set the clock and timer on my VCR!
Technology can sometimes be as frustrating as it is helpful. But one thing is for sure—technology will continue to change. For the next eight weeks I guest blog for new mommy Diane Haddad, bringing you Tech Tips that I hope will keep you from pulling out your hair in frustration and lead you to more ancestors.
The technology bug bit me about 10 years ago, much the same way the genealogy bug did years before—hard. An online search delivered up a database that held the answers to years of questions about my Prussian ancestors, and I was hooked. There's nothing like having a need and seeing the direct application of technology to meet that need to give you "gumption," as Grandma used to say, to pursue it further.
The Pursuit of Answers
In the end it's not really technology we are pursuing, but rather answers to questions and problems that plague our family history research. In my keynote presentation at the recent Family History Expo in Mesa, AZ, I tried to drive home the concept that if you focus on your needs, and then look for and find answers in the technology arena, you will also find the motivation to learn how to use that technology. And as you learn what is technologically possible, you can pursue it when a need arises.
That's sort of how I fell into podcasting. In 2006, I visited my local Family History Center and shared a discovery I made. The center's director was so excited she took a photocopy of the pages in my hand and posted them on the office bulletin board. "What a genealogy gem that is!" she squealed. I stood there looking at the paper held in place with a pushpin and thought to myself: There's got to be a better way to share something like this. It could help so many more people than just those who visit this center.
Fast forward to February 2007, when I received an iPod from my daughters for a birthday present. I immediately went snooping around the iTunes store to see if there was anything free I could download and quickly came across podcasts, which had only come in to being about a year and a half before—talk about new technology! I downloaded a couple of podcasts on a variety of topics and really enjoyed them. Then I remembered that paper stuck to the bulletin board. A quick search for "how to podcast" led me to a great little show, and a month later the Genealogy Gems Podcast was born. I've been posting genealogy gems ever since for listeners around the world in over 80 countries.
Not long after I began hosting the Family Tree Magazine Podcast. The budding new RSS technology filled a need and solved a problem. I wondered what else might be out there that could help the genealogist.
A prime example of technology power boosting the family historian's research is the big daddy of them all—Google. Let's wrap up this first installment of Tech Tips with a search tip from my book The Genealogist's Google Toolbox (Lulu Press, 2011) that consistently delivers excellent results: the suspension point better known as "dot dot dot." (...)
In search terms, a suspension point is used to indicate a range of numbers.
Problem: When did my ancestor die? I know it was sometime between 1790 and 1830.
Answer: The suspension point
Search Query: "Jehu Burkhart" 1790...1830
Here's the results page:
The beauty of the suspension point (...) is that it tells the search engine to retrieve webpages that mention Jehu Burkhart (the quotation marks indicate we want the exact phrase) between the years of 1790 and 1830. And Google takes the added step of bolding the year mentioned on the webpage so that you can quickly assess from the results list if the page is the result you need. This tip has limitless genealogical search applications, and can thin that massive list of results you often get saddled with down to a manageable lot.
In the coming weeks I'll be sharing more tips with you as well as bringing you the latest from such conferences as "Who Do You Think You Are?" LIVE in London, and the brand new Roots Tech conference in Salt Lake City. It's an exciting time for genealogists as technology and family history merge!
See the FamilySearch website for a list of the rest of its recently added records. If you don't want to search all the records on the site using the search form on the home page, here's how to find the individual databases:
Using your browser's Find function (Control+F or Apple+F) to search for a word in the title of the database you need will help you sidestep some inconsistent titling that can make a few collections hard to find.
For example, Revolutionary War pension records are in the database "Revolutionary War Pension and Bounty Land Warrant Applications Files," listed with the Rs, but Revolutionary War service records are in the database titled "United States, Revolutionary War Compiled Service Records, 1775-1783"—listed with the Us.
Also, "United States, Index to Naturalizations of World War I Soldiers, 1918" isn't listed near the naturalization records from US District Courts, which are alphabetized by the name of the state the records are from, or with the WWII records in "United States, World War II Draft Registration Cards, 1942."
I noticed those WWI soldier naturalizations don't show up when you use the Migration & Naturalization or Military Records filter (but they are included in the Court Records). I sent a comment about it; if you find a categorization or other quirk, you can comment using the orange Feedback tab on the right side of the site's pages.

Home Basics
- Conducting a Home Inventory
No one can recall every single item in their home, particularly after a fire or robbery. So it makes good sense to take inventory of what you have. After all, any claim under your homeowners insurance for damaged or stolen property must show the quantity, description, and actual cash value of the lost items. List the contents of every room, every drawer, and closet--include everything you'd carry out if you moved. Take photos or videotape items in each room. Store a copy of the inventory in a safe place outside your home.
- Disaster checklist
- Fall/Winter Home Maintenance Checklist
By maintaining your home, you can help prevent costly damage and insurance claims that may eventually lead to higher premiums. Use this checklist to prepare your home for cooler weather.
- Home Security Tips
There are many steps you can take to make your home more secure and less tempting to intruders. For example, you can secure your home's windows and doors, use lighting and motion detectors outside, and make sure that the outside area is clear of trees and bushes. And don't forget about alarm systems: An alarm activated by an intruder alerts the alarm company or the police right away.

not a fani smelled this perfume once, and i was really thrown off by it. it seemed like the wrong mix of floral and sweet. i also hear this scent fades quickly, not good. — 6 years, 4 months agokenya | 504 reviews
Review subjectNot quite sure what to think about this. It's ALMOST a delicious scent, but it falls short. — 6 years, 1 month agoMissPurple | 611 reviews
Love the Bottle. Not Impressed with Scent.I love the bottle of Lovely, and from the reviews, I was expecting a soft scent to love. I'm very hard to please with scents so you shouldn't be too alarmed at my opinion. I just felt that this was a drug-store quality fragrance and that I was sampling a scent from Rite-Aid or Longs. It is not a department store fragrance for sure. It wasn't bad. It just had that "cheap" smell about it. The price reflects it. Too bad. — 8 years, 7 months agoleo1999 | 678 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This

Did you know?
The currency of Lesotho is the loti, which holds the same value as the South African rand.
Afriski has established itself as a top skiing and snowboarding destination. Situated 3 222m above sea level, high up in Lesotho's Maluti Mountains, the resort is one of only two ski resorts on the African continent.
There are a number of chalets and other forms of accommodation at Afriski, and the clientele is a mix of seasonal residents and first-time visitors. Various ski and snowboarding competitions are held at Afriski in the winter months, attracting many top international competitors.
Bronwyn McCarthy, who has been a ski and snowboarding instructor at Afriski for several years, advises that the best time to visit is towards the end of July, when the snow is at its thickest and the school holiday rush is over.
Bronwyn explains that it is now compulsory for all novices to take lessons before they are allowed on the slopes, to avoid unnecessary accidents. She adds that all instructors have international qualifications in skiing and snowboarding.
It is advisable to book lessons in advance during busy times, such as early June when most South African schools are on holiday. Lessons can also be booked at the instructors' office on arrival.
As important as the skiiing is the after skiing fun, with plenty of hilarity in the bar or pub at Afriski. One of the highlights is the "snowboard challenge" whereby a snowboard is attached to the roof of the bar at Afriski and it is a popular tradition for guests to see how many shooters they can manage to down while hanging upside down from the snowboard. You have to be there to experience the fall down laughter it generates.

Qualcomm's Snapdragon 801 (MSM8974AC): The New 32-bit Flagship Until 805by Anand Lal Shimpi on 2/24/2014 2:00 AM EST

Drumsticks - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkYou have a very tiny typo!
"Qualcomm is shipping a higher clocked variant of the MSM8974/Snapdragon 800 called the Snapdragon 801 (MSM8794AC)"
I believe it should read 8974AC, not 8794AC :)
This makes more sense. It would have seemed weird for the 805 to be out just yet (I don't think it is anywhere?) but the 800 has already been around for a while. This could show up in the S5, perhaps? Reply
Laxaa - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkIs the power draw the same as the 800? Reply
r3loaded - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkClose enough to be negligible. Reply
jerrylzy - Monday, February 24, 2014 - link8974AB and 8974AC are called 8974Pro in source codes (normal s800s are called 8974v2), and the 8974Pro series have two versions: 8974Pro rev0 and 8974ProC rev1. The latter one has 16 PVS binnings with 0.1v difference between each binning's max cpu freq while the former one has 8 binnings with 0.25v difference between each binning's max cpu freq. Also all shipped 8974ABs' GPU max freq is 578mhz instead of 550mhz. I think the snapdragon 801 represents the revised 8974Pro series. Reply
darkich - Tuesday, February 25, 2014 - linkWow..you work for Qualcomm, admit it! Reply
jerrylzy - Tuesday, February 25, 2014 - linkI don't work for Qualcomm. Everyone can see those things in N9005 KitKat kernel source codes. Reply
GNUminex - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkThe last sentence is missing a word. Also I'm curious, how long has qualcomm been using the same cpu architecture and bumbing its clocks for now? Reply
HardwareDufus - Monday, February 24, 2014 - link801 looks good. the DS-DA is very important. I live in the Sonora Desert... as in Sonora, Mexico and Arizona, USA. I conduct business in both countries, therefore have two pone numbers. I'm always doing the SIM swapping thing at the Nogales SON/AZ border crossing.
Having both chips in the same phone would be glorious! No missed calls either (roaming chargers are worth it as I'd rather not miss a call!).
Adopting the EmmC 5.0 interface is good as well.
Nokia has announced that the 1520 will be available with 32GB of Storage son (plus the microSD). I wonder if they've been waiting for the new interface to make that change? Will we see the 801/805 in an upcoming rework of the 1520?
Dual Simm capable phone 1520 would be incredible. Microsoft is going to be supporting Dual Simm capability with Windows Phone 8.1 soon.
Right now enjoying life with the 920.. The S4 (performance wise between the 400 and 600) is a decent performer. Reply
fokka - Monday, February 24, 2014 - linkit's "SIM" Reply
tigger2u - Tuesday, February 25, 2014 - linkAs homonyms, the acronyms are SIMilar. :-) Reply
stefan2305 - Tuesday, February 25, 2014 - linkRegarding the MSM8794AB. Yesterday, Sony announced the Xperia Z2. They said it contains a 2.3 GHz Snapdragon 801. I'm reading all over the place that the MSM8794AB is actually a Snapdragon 801. So which is right? Is Sony lying about saying the Z2 contains an 801, or is the MSM8794AB actually an 801? Reply
Discbrake - Wednesday, February 26, 2014 - linkSony Xperia Z2's SoC is an 801. A variation of 801, different from the 801 inside the Samsung Galaxy S5. http://www.qualcomm.com/snapdragon/smartphones/son... Reply
stefan2305 - Wednesday, February 26, 2014 - linkIn that case, the article above has a typo as the MSM8974AB is listed as a Snapdragon 800. Reply

Topic: Last Entry
First, I would like to thank Leonard and all of the others who encouraged Ritchie. Leonard was "right on" when it came to things.
Ritchie had an ERCP prior to, and after, two series of five days of radiation. He also had two chemo treatments. His reaction to the chemo was so severe, both on his skin and with the lowering of his blood count, that they were unable to continue.
He was admitted to Riverside Hospital, Columbus, Ohio, on May 9th. He had a Roux-En-Y, with a resection of the left lobe of the liver on May 10th. It was deemed to be succesful. He was released from the hospital on May 27th.
Home health care was provided for a time, but then it became home hospice care. He appeared to be doing well for a while, but was in a lot of pain. As his health declined, he blamed the medication and began to spit out the pain pills. He was transferred to Kobacker House Hospice care on August 10th. An angel came to take hlim home on August 12th. He is greatly missed by those who love him.
I'm not a doctor, but I believe that the radiation shortened his life. A friend, who is a doctor, saw the results of the before and after ERCPs. The doctor commented on the dead tissue in the second ERCP. The area covered by the radiation is small and the tissue delicate. I believe that tissue necessary for a successful Roux-En-Y was damaged. But then again, perhaps that's just the sorrow talking. I miss his so.
Ritchie's mate

RESIDENTS were evacuated from their home last night after a fire broke out on a gas main pipe.
A crew from Basingstoke fire station was called to Speckled Wood Road, in Popley, at 10.55pm after receiving a call from a member of the public.
One property was evacuated and the gas supply to five other properties in the road was temporarily isolated as a precautionary measure, whilst the fire was contained and a team carried out a repair on the gas pipe.
Crew manager Ewan Ross told The Gazette: "It was a case of burning it off. It was left to burn as long as it was not threatening anything, until the gas company could shut it off."
Hannah Brett, spokesperson for Southern Gas Networks, said the company is currently investigating the cause of the fire, adding: "We were called to Speckled Wood Road late on Thursday evening following reports of a fire on our service pipe.
"Our engineers worked alongside the emergency services to contain the fire and make the situation safe."

I highly recommend these guys first class work and an excellent team. On time as promised and very respectful in all ways.
I rarely leave feedback on these forums, but these guys really deserve it. Our kitchen tiling and painting was done to an excellent standard. Our decorator put dust sheets on everything, taped up areas so nothing was painted that shouldn't have been. He hoovered, and placed everything back that he'd moved at the end of each day. He even sent us photos of progress! Would highly recommend and be happy to ask them to come back in the future. Thank you!
Sisi Property Ltd came to tile my shower at the drop of hat. First impressions were that they seemed a little slow, it quickly became apparent that they were in fact perfectionists.The end result was genuinely outstanding and I am delighted with their work. True craftsmen.They took their time because they were meticulous; not slow.The job manager was excellent, polite and friendly; and while the tilers were brilliant, I'd suggest John learns 'hello', 'thank you' and how to crack a smile though ;)

text: Advantage Poca? Or no edge? By Rick Ryan August 26, 2013 Story Share Lawrence Pierce Nitro coach Derek Midkiff talks to sophomore running back Brayden Underwood during Monday's practice. The talk will be of advantages - perceived or otherwise - when neighboring rivals Nitro and Poca lock up in a prep football opener on Friday at Nitro.The host Wildcats, in fact, have a lot of attention surrounding their first two games because they're paired with two Putnam County squads (Poca, Hurricane).Putnam County students didn't report until Aug. 22, which was nearly two full weeks after Kanawha students came back for classes on Aug. 9, meaning Kanawha teams had almost no time for two-a-day workouts that have become a teaching staple for coaches in the preseason. Workouts began on Aug. 5.Still, Nitro coach Derek Midkiff has brushed off speculation that his team will be at a competitive disadvantage for its first two games."I don't know if it gives them an advantage or not,'' Midkiff said of facing the Dots this week. "Obviously, they had more opportunity to practice than us. But it's not an excuse we're going to use or the kids are going to use. It is what it is."With student-athletes, you have to be a student first and an athlete second. Whatever Kanawha County wanted to do to make them better students, we're going to live with and coach them up the best we can, and be the best team we're able to.''Poca coach Bob Lemley acknowledges the extra free time his squad had to develop, but said some of that bonus was washed away by extraordinarily heavy rains in August."It's been so unusual this year with the rain,'' Lemley said. "We did about normal [workouts] the first week, but since then the field we practice on has been just soaked like a swamp. We didn't get on the main field. It's soft, so we stayed off that."After the first week, we just started practicing in the evening ourselves, like we would have after school, and go longer hours to get the normal amount of hours in. We had to quit practicing for a few days in the morning because of the weather. We needed to have some sunshine hit the field. "I think teams might have a little advantage if they went the full two weeks starting in the morning, but overall I don't think it makes much of a difference after a couple of weeks.''Another advantage Poca was thought to hold was the return of quarterback Jake Payne, a run-pass threat who would have been a third-year starter. However, Payne suffered an injury toward the end of baseball season and opted not to come out for football.That means the Dots' edge at quarterback was negated, since they're now going with Justin Stewart, a junior who didn't play football last year and a player who has never lined up at quarterback. Nitro's new signal caller is Tyler Barton, a baseball and basketball athlete who didn't play football the last two seasons.That could mean each team will try to exploit the new man under center on Friday, trying to disrupt the offense by applying all the pressure they can to the quarterbacks. Midkiff said Nitro doesn't look at the situation that way."Coach Lemley has been coaching a long time,'' he said, "and does what he does and coaches what he knows. We're going to go about it as beating the system they're doing and not one or two kids. "Who's playing quarterback doesn't matter. Defensively, our guys have their assignments and they've got to perform no matter who is quarterback, whether Jake Payne is playing or not. Go out there and do what they do. If we're better, it will work and if we're not, it won't.''Lemley expects some pressure from Nitro against Stewart."I'm sure they want to put some heat on him,'' Lemley said. "It's going to be a learning process for him. He's got some speed and he's got a decent arm. He has to learn his craft and be a quarterback."As they always say, right now things are fast for him. There's a lot going on. But once he gets more confident, he'll get better as he goes. He is a threat to run the ball. We're going to run him and we've got a couple of other guys.''Each team welcomes back a 1,000-yard rusher from last year, so there are no advantages to be held there.Poca features T.T. Loudin, who rushed for 1,080 yards and 12 touchdowns last season while missing one game, and Nitro leans on sophomore Brayden Underwood, who gained 1,015 yards with six TDs a year ago. "We haven't thrown the ball all that much in our scrimmages,'' Midkiff said. "Everything was very vanilla what we were doing offensively and defensively. But it was no secret that [Underwood] was our workhorse last year as a freshman. It doesn't change with him being a sophomore. The biggest thing with him has been muscles. He got rid of a lot of that baby fat he had last year because he was a kid, and I think he matured a lot over the winter.''Midkiff said last Saturday's 47-0 loss to Princeton during the Mountain State Athletic Conference Grid-o-rama didn't faze his players because the Wildcats took it as a learning experience for a certain group of players."We did a lot better our first scrimmage,'' Midkiff said. "We didn't go into that [Grid-o-rama] to win anything other than to get specific guys some extra looks. A lot of our guys were out of position. We were seeing guys in certain positions to give them certain looks. So I'm not worried about that at all."I don't put much stock in scrimmages. Scrimmages don't matter. Now it matters.''Reach Rick Ryan at 304-348-5175 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Michigan Tech Named a Bike Friendly University
Last Modified 12:58 PM, June 16, 2016
April 22, 2013—
The League of American Bicyclists has named Michigan Tech a bronze-level Bicycle Friendly University.
The Transportation Enterprise at Tech spearheaded the Bicycle Friendly University application. "This award recognizes the progress being made at Michigan Tech to improve biking on campus," said Chris Fongers, project manager for the Enterprise's Bike Friendly Campus team. "Some key elements in our application were the creation of an ongoing Campus Bike Advisory Committee and the development of a 10-year plan for campus biking improvements."
The Michigan Tech Bike Advisory Committee includes representatives from the Transportation Enterprise, the Copper Country Cycling Club (C4) and the Green Campus Enterprise, as well as other staff and faculty.
"This recognition of our efforts to improve biking at Michigan Tech would not have been possible without the help and encouragement of some key people including Civil and Environmental Engineering Professor William Sproule, Ray Sharpe of the Western Upper Peninsula Health Department, and Director of Facilities George Butvilas," said Transportation Enterprise advisor George Dewey, associate professor of civil and environmental engineering. "We anticipate additional bike-friendly improvements to campus in the coming years and encourage others to get involved by joining the Campus Bike Advisory Committee."
College campuses are natural places to integrate bicycling, and Michigan Tech recognizes the small steps needed to make bicycling a safe and easy option for students and staff," said Bike League President Andy Clarke. "Young people are driving less and riding more, and Michigan Tech has embraced that trend."
The Bicycle Friendly Universities program is revolutionizing the way universities evaluate their efforts in sustainability, transportation option and campus dwellers' quality of life, while allowing administrators to benchmark their progress toward improving their bicycle-friendliness. There are now 58 bike friendly universities s in 30 states.
The program provides a roadmap for building a Bicycle Friendly University. The five levels of the award – diamond, platinum, gold, silver and bronze – provide an incentive for universities to continuously improve.
Michigan Technological University (www.mtu.edu) is a leading public research university developing new technologies and preparing students to create the future for a prosperous and sustainable world. Michigan Tech offers more than 120 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in engineering; forest resources; computing; technology; business; economics; natural, physical and environmental sciences; arts; humanities; and social sciences.

"These cards are great - simple and elegant. They arrived super quickly and the customer service / designer that assisted us was fantastic. The process was smooth and effortless."
"This invitation was exactly what we were looking for! It has our wedding colors on it. I love how you can personalize it with whatever font you like. We ordered it on the shimmery paper and loved the turnout. Can't wait to get them ready and send them out! Thank you Wedding Paper Divas! They are beautiful."
"I really liked this design, but I was nervous that it would be hard to communicate my tweaks without meeting someone in person. I made a couple of tweaks, and the team was able to complete all of them and they made the product even better than I was thinking. Really easy process and the took minimal effort on my end!"
"This card turned out great. Had it printed on the extra thick matte card stock and the quality was even better than I expected. Customer service worked with me to help ensure that the white lettering was legible, and overall, I was very satisfied with our invites. The print quality was a little pixelated, but the matte printing may have been to blame. Nevertheless, we got lots of compliments, and I would certainly recommend the invite."
"I realized I used my other daughter's middle name after submitting the invitation for printing. Called WPD immediately and the designer was helpful and extremely understanding. Product is perfect. Very happy with the quality."

GEORGE Critchley, Lancashire's Mr Pantomime, has tipped burgeoning talent Kirsty MacLaren for a glittering West End career.
The Scottish-born actress takes the lead role in the children's fairytale Peter Pan, the story of the boy who wouldn't grow up, at Oswaldtwistle Civic Theatre tonight.
George said: "I've discovered a shining talent for the future – Kirsty is that good. I've seen some exceptional acting talent over the years, some of them going on to great things on television and stage, but this young lady will go a long way in this business.
"If I'm not outside her door at a West End theatre one day saying, 'Do you remember playing Peter Pan at Oswaldtwistle all those years ago?' I'll be amazed.
"Kirsty is only 20 – but she can sing and act beautifully. She has a wonderful stage presence and, crucially, a brilliant temperament."
George handed the young actress her big break, casting her as Dorothy in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz at Blackburn Thwaites Theatre, Kirsty's first professional acting role.
"When I heard Kirsty's beautiful voice singing Somewhere Over The Rainbow, I knew I had heard something special and I had to get her back to Lancashire to be in Peter Pan."
Kirsty, who graduated from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland last summer, where she gained a BA in musical theatre, said Peter Pan was always her favourite.
"To see the children's faces at the Peter Pan matinee performances, with me hovering around the stage, it was like magic – everything that I had hoped for from playing panto," she said.
"It is such a special time of year, and we need to protect the legacy of pantomime for the next generation and seeing so many children enjoying Peter Pan is incredible."
She added: "Acting is a demanding profession – but also it is a way of life and one that I love."
PETER Pan has flown into Oswaldtwistle with more than a sprinkle of festive cheer.
With every classic character from JM Barrie's children's story, PMA productions delivered a great panto for all the family.
Giggles from the audience proved that adults were enjoying the show as much as the children.
With fun lyrics and audience interaction this is a show that is well worth watching this Christmas.
The set looked pretty good and mischievous Tinkerbell was our storyteller – a pretty fairy on wheels who went down well with the little girls in the audience.
And mean old Captain Hook deserves a mention – the baddie deserved every boo that he got.
Pirate Smee, the cheeky chappy wasn't afraid to make us laugh with excess wind and crocodile jibes.
The live music, which accompanied by the solos and duets sung by a sweet-sounding Wendy and a pitch-perfect Peter Pan, was just great.
With PMA productions you're always in for a good show.
And with a perfect view of the big stage that Oswaldtwistle Civic Theatre has to offer – we weren't disappointed.
- Shows today at 7pm and tomorrow at 2pm Details from 01254 380293.

Welcome to Liverpool Public Library
1996 Library HistoryThe early winter months saw the return of the popular Armchair Traveler video series, the Art Rental Gallery, a Friends plant exchange, rubber stamping and quilting programs for children and StoryTimes for children of all ages. The Board and staff were in a somber mood, still in shock from the referendum defeat.
At the Board's request the Cluster Heads, now called Facilitators, led the staff in a self study of library services and procedures. The report was presented to the Board at their April meeting.
Then, four months after the defeat of the expansion referendum, the Board presented its $2,790,598 operating budget to the public. This represented only a 1.6 per cent increase over the budget of the previous year. However, negative feelings still were evident in the community. According to The Review about forty to fifty people attended the public hearing on March 27. This was unusual as virtually no one had attended the hearings in past years.
And the budget was defeated…by a vote of 3:1. The actual count was 1221 "no" votes and 441 "yes" votes. The mood of the Board and staff had been somber before, but now it was worse. Nevertheless quality programming continued and the staff continued to offer good service to the public.
Due to a job description interpretation by Civil Service the Board requested that the two Librarian Assistants be removed from reference desk duty. This brought about a severe shortage in staffing the desk telephone reference was suspended on March 31st. (It did not get reinstated until September 1998).
Computers were proving to be very popular and an Internet for Seniors program was launched on April 25. Its purpose was to help people learn more about the Internet and web surfing. Jean Armour Polly, a former assistant director of the library and now author of The Internet Kids' Yellow Pages spoke about families using the Internet.
A Silent Celebrity Auction was held in the library throughout the month of April. Several local authors donated autographed scripts and books for the event. The Syracuse Crunch donated an autographed photo. Proceeds were used to buy materials and equipment for the Library.
On May 15 a Special Board meeting was held at which the Board made decisions on what services to cut in order to stay within the dollar amount of the budget figure they had to work with. As a result they decided on the following: there would be no salary increase for the staff; the increment for Department Heads would be postponed; the library would close on Friday evenings effective July 1; the discontinuation of telephone reference would be extended through 1996-97; the job freeze would continue and the electric power budget line would be increased.
The county library system finally purchased an electronic catalog and DYNIX was introduced first to the staff and then to the public on July 8. The library closed for two mornings in June so that staff could undergo intensive training on the new system.
A community effort to turn the vacant lot adjacent to the library into something more useful and aesthetically pleasing succeeded when local businessman Val Lamont and Fred Elkins, president of Liverpool Citizens for Quality Education, got involved with the project. The land was leveled off and grass seed planted in a 40' x 40' plot. Next , Mike Gridley, a Liverpool resident and graduate landscape architecture student from State University College of Environmental Science and Forestry, prepared three designs for a garden (as part of his Master's thesis). Children were then asked to vote for their favorite: ancient, shape of beans growing in a pod, or shape of sunflower with its petals radiating out from the center. The Ancient garden design garnered 151 votes of the 400 that were cast. The Sunflower plan received 133 votes and the Bean plan received 111.
Summer programs for children included a baseball card swap, crafty puppets program, StoryTimes, and the ever popular Summerbus! The Library also participated in the Summer Reading Game sponsored by the Onondaga County Public Library System. For adults the library offered its book discussion group, After Dinner Books and the two day Art in the Park.
The library received a New York State Parent and Child grant of $7780 for two computers , a printer and furniture for the Children's Room. Money was also allotted for software and books. In addition Price Chopper Corporation donated four tables which held the computers.
At the July Board meeting Dr. Thomas J. Wells was reelected President, Joseph Ostuni, Vice President and George Alessio, Secretary. Larry Dunstone was reappointed Financial Officer.
By early September the Official Home Page of the Liverpool Public Library was born. www.lpl.org was the official URL. Content of the multipage site included a description of the various departments of the library, information about the Board of Trustees and information about the various collections and services offered.
In October the Windhammer vocal jazz group opened the Sunday afternoon Concert Series. Later that month Liverpool resident Marylee Armour talked about her book "Heartwood," a biography of W. Donald Burnap of the Adirondacks. Over one hundred people attended her presentation!
Also in October the Department Heads and the Trustees gathered at Arrowhead Lodge for a one day retreat. At the end of the month Susan Mills, Head of the Audio Visual Department retired.
Before the end of the year the Trustees voted to improve the elevator entryway, repair the public elevator itself and repair the stone steps on the Tulip Street side. Fines on overdue videos were reduced to twenty cents per day in order to bring the library into conformity with other libraries in the system.
The 1996 Merit Award winners were Jeanne Biggins, Head of Technical Services, Rick Fensterer, Head of Electronic Communications, and Pam Sprague, Head of Circulation Services.

Elasta QP Relaxer
First, some background. I have very curly hair--like, Cree Summer curly, but very dry. I wanted it straight but still with a bit of wave in it. I was happy that this kit included a very deep conditioning product, and that it also had a lot of natural plant extracts in it to keep hair healthy. For the de-frizz factor alone I recommend this product. After using the product, As I said, my hair was in excellent condition, so after about two days I could no longer tell it had been processed. Currently, may hair feels wonderful and it looks very nice, and yes I actually did notice more shine after using the product. I relaxed my hair about three weeks ago. Over all, I am very pleased with the product.

Juniors at Williamstown High School prepared for the ACT for months before taking the test for real March 5.
The district began by giving all juniors a practice/mock ACT on Sept. 19.
The results of the practice test were analyzed and disaggregated, and individual RTI programs were developed for each student who fell below benchmarks in any of the four subject areas.
WHS guidance counselor Brand Feagan then met with all students in small groups in the fall to discuss the areas of improvement needed to meet benchmarks.

Bee and Wasp Removal in Milltown NJ
Need a Bee Exterminator?
Serving Milltown and surrounding areas.
Let our local bee removal experts help! Call today for more info...Call Now! (855) 495-8141
Bee Control Exterminator in Milltown
Checking and disturbing a bee hive is usually the last thing that most people want to do. Bee removal in Milltown, NJ is certainly a problem especially if the bees that you are going to remove are said to be included in the Africanized kind which are known to be killer bees. Removing of bees could be done by anyone who has knowledge on it and who knows what to do even if the bees are already angry. You cannot just remove them because there is a possibility that they will harm or attack you. So if you don't really know what to do, it will be better if you will seek for the help of the experts. There is no doubt honey is important since it has many uses and bees are also significant because they have this unique role in the environment. But you must also know that they have to be in an appropriate place.
As I have said, bees can be very harmful when they are provoked. When you like to remove a bee hive, you must not just throw some rocks on it. You also must not just spray anything on them. Doing these things may result to bigger problems. When you have this plan of bee removal, it is very essential for you to make sure that there will be no other people within the area especially those who are allergic to stings. Allergies can lead to serious things and this can be fatal. When the bees are all set in then this could be the perfect time to remove them.
A bee keeper in Middlesex County who is expert on this can help you but more often than not, there will be these people who are truly expert when it comes to doing all the work of removing. Removing the bees is usually done at night because this is the time when most of the bees are already inside the hive. Removing them along with the honey during this time will be easier and less complicated.
If you attempt to do bee removal by yourself, you should go to a hardware store where you can buy chemical that are made to fight aggressive bees. There are also some smokers there that could calm the bees and with that you can easily remove them. Removing the bees can truly be a very difficult thing to do so it is very important that before you will do it, you are really prepared for it and you already have loads of knowledge regarding it.
Bee Removal Costs in Middlesex County
These are the factors that determine the cost of bee removal in Milltown and what you should look for in the way of a permanent and ecological solution. Grab a pencil because you will want to jot these points down and convey them to your bee technician when you call him for a estimate. Here we go.
The main factors that determine the cost of bee removal are:
- How big is the space where they are inhabiting?
- How long have they been there?
- How high off the ground are they?
- How aggressive are your bees?
How big is the space?
Bees will grow until they reach their limits. When they reach that limit they will instinctively begin to feed Royal Jelly to a bee larva and produce another queen. The new queen will remain and the old queen will fly off with half the worker bees and start a new home. So be careful, that could mean that you end up with 2 or more new colonies to remove! Bees divide from 3 to 13 times per year! If the space where your bees are residing is small they will divide more often but if they are in a big space those bees will continue to build their colony until its quite large. So it's easy to see that more time, in a bigger space, will more likely mean you will have a big bee colony to remove. Most companies will give you a best case and worse case estimate of costs based on the "history" of infestation. Lets talk a little about spaces.
Example: Bees in a frame wall. Bees will fly up in between the studs of a wall and attached themselves to the very top. Over time they will build in this space and can produce a very big colony, but note not limitless. The limits are they studs in wall. In a soffet you can see the space is smaller and even a very old bee colony cant get too big unless it has gone into the roof, which we would consider "limitless" Are getting the pattern? In the hollow spaces of a block wall you have a nearly limitless amount of space for bees to build and never find a need to divide and swarm away. A shed floor is not limitless, but it is a very large space whereas a mobile home floor is nearly limitless and potentially can be a monster big bee colony.
Your trained bee removal expert will be familiar with most situations and once you tell him where the bees are and how long they have been there he will be able to give you the estimate thus allowing you to shop around. But there's more to consider.
How high off the ground?
The next very important factor is how high off the ground are your bees? Are they on the first floor or the second or even the third? Bees will always go to the "highest" point in any structure so where it might look like the are at the top of the wall they maybe in fact at the top of the second story even though you see them going in at the bottom of the second floor. Work off tall ladders, lifts, or scaffolding increase the cost of your bee removal but don't be foolish and be tempted with a quick fix and opt for 'pest control" spraying. It might be cheaper on the short run but cost you much more not too far into the future. Go back and review Part one to this introduction to learn more as to why spraying does not work. The logistics, danger, and extra time necessary to work off a ladder or lift will add to the bill.
Aggressive bees.
The last factor is something that has grown to be a consideration in recent years with the arrival of the African Killer bee, so called. These are honey bees that have a very aggressive nature and they will hybridize with our domestic bees and make a more aggressive bee. If the bees are too aggressive then more care and greater pains must be made to make sure your situation is being handled quickly and safely including the need for your bee technician to spend more time in a hot bee suit, this potentially can add to the over all price of resolving your bee issues. Its important to note that very few bees are so aggressive that they need to be destroyed. So please, if you can, consider live bee removal and save the bees.

I have a Genesis Gold C and I want to buy a charcoal grill to go along with it. I like the taste of charcoal, but I am often rushed so I like the ease of gas for daily cooking. I am not a barbecue guru yet, but I truly want to be, I can't wait to make ribs, turkey, butt, etc.
My question is whether I should buy a Weber 22.5 kettle and use the indirect method for things like ribs, briskets or butts, as well as normal cooking like steaks, burgers, fish or chicken, or whether I should go for the WSM and concentrate on 'cue and use the Gas for everything else. I am really torn and if I had the money I would buy both, but I am strapped and can only choose one for this year. If anyone has any thoughts or wants to give me some idea how to make this incredibly tough decision, please let me know. Any help would be appreciated.
I am really curious to know if you can turn out good smoked meats with a kettle or if it is worth it to really upgrade to the WSM and only do smoking?

DAVID Bowie's "Heroes" provides the soundtrack to the video montage that is beamed out from the big screen before every home game this season.
It shows legends like Jimmy McIlroy, standing on the centre spot of his beloved Turf Moor; David Eyres, doing keepy-uppies in a Burnley backstreet, Jimmy Robson in front of the trophy cabinet; Ian Britton, leaning on a goalpost; Andy Payton with his golden boot; footage of homegrown hotshot Jay Rodriguez, Wembley winner Wade Elliott, Martin Dobson in his pomp, Jimmy Adamson, Harry Potts.
Modern-day marvels are among them, and include the goals from recent derbies – with Sam Vokes, Jason Shackell and Junior Stanislas celebrating while Bowie sings: "We can beat them, just for one day; We can be heroes, just for one day."
Although Burnley are away this weekend, those lyrics could be particularly poignant on Sunday – the latest derby day.
It could also mean a re-mastering of the footage by the time they host Leeds next Saturday, to include the current Clarets crop should they succeed where others have failed and beat their arch rivals for the first time in 35 years.
Vokes certainly hopes so.
"Everyone wants to win. It would be massive to pick three more points up, especially tomorrow. There are people around the place speaking about the derby, there's an extra buzz this week building up to the game. You can feel it. And also in the changing room, the lads are looking forward to it," said the 24-year-old, who goes into the Football League's joint oldest derby boosted by a player of the month prize and international goal.
"It's a great honour. There's some tough competition with some big players in this league so it's a good honour for myself.
"But it's a lot to do with the team. A lot of my goals, especially this month, have come from a great team effort and I think to take that award is great on a personal level but it shows how far we've come as a team."
Success tomorrow would top a memorable week off nicely for the Wales striker.
"It would be very nice," he smiled.
"It's been a good week so far, it would be nice to add to that.
"It was good to get a good run-out on Wednesday night and to get another goal was great. I can take a lot of positives from that."
As a collective Vokes feels the Clarets can use the feelgood factor generated from back-to-back wins over top six rivals Nottingham Forest and Derby County in their last two home games to boost their chances of turning three previous derby draws into a long-awaited win.
"We're in some good form at the moment and taking some confidence from those results at home – teams also pushing for automatic promotion – so we've got to take confidence from that into this game.
"The big game occasion is something we've had to deal with a few times this season already.
"It won't be any different tomorrow.
"We've played in some of these derbies already and we'll take some good confidence from that."
But while the league table would suggest the balance of power has shifted in East Lancashire, with the second-placed Clarets boasting a 20-point advantage over 10th placed Rovers, Vokes insists they won't run the risk of underestimating their rivals.
"They're a strong outfit still. They're a good side and we're going to their ground, which is a hard place to go to," he said.
"But from our point of view we're on a good run at the moment and we can only take confidence from those results."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 2/2/2014 (1296 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
MONTREAL – No one is quite sure what is in the concoction, but the Winnipeg Jets are gulping down the Paul Maurice Kool-Aid.
The Jets improved to 8-2 under their new head coach Sunday afternoon with a 2-1 victory over the Montreal Canadiens at Bell Centre. Winnipeg is now 27-25-5 and with 59 points has moved into a tie with Nashville and Dallas and is four back of Vancouver for the second wildcard spot in the Western Conference.
We feel that we've made some pretty big strides in some small areas.
"We feel that we've made some pretty big strides in some small areas," said Maurice after the game. "We've made big gains in small areas. There's still a lot to cover. But I don't want to give you the impression these guys don't know anything, it's more we're going to do it this way.
"It's what we want our team to look like, and I'm talking about the players and the coaches. Define what the Winnipeg Jets' game is… And that's going to take a little bit of time to do."
Asked if the 8-2 record means the club is ahead of the curve, Maurice added:
"This is going sound really funny, but it's almost insignificant for what we're trying to do. It wouldn't change the path is on if our record was different.
"We had two goals here: make the playoffs but, more importantly, build a foundation so that we all understand the game we play to win."
The Jets got goals from Toby Enstrom and Michael Frolik – Brian Gionta countered for Montreal – and some outstanding netminding from Al Montoya, who kicked out 30 of the 31 shots he faced.
"This is big for us," said Montoya. "To come into a building like this… we knew they played yesterday (a 2-1 OT loss to Tampa) so we had to jump on them in the first period. Give it all to the guys: we battled. We might not have had it all night, but we put it together when we had to."
This is the first of a four-game road trip for the Jets, who were scheduled to charter out right after the game for Raleigh, N.C. Winnipeg faces the Carolina Hurricanes Tuesday before stops in Washington Thursday and St. Louis Saturday.
