There were many decisions made by the referee during AFC Wimbledon's 2-1 defeat to Rochdale that left fans angry, but one decision left some fans more intrigued than furious.
The man in the middle, Brendan Malone, opted to wear a red shirt during the game, leading some in the stands to question whether the players reacted to him like a red rag to bull and which resulted in a tempestuous affair in which Jack Midson was sent off.
One fan, who wished to remain anonymous, said: "Red is a totally wrong colour for a referee to manage a game of football, which involves people. Do the powers that be not understand the
power and impact of colour on attitudes?
"I would love to see some stats on the shirt colour of referees and the number of yellow and red cards subsequently shown, and how often, supporters, management and players become embroiled in fractious games?"
The Football League said: "Referees have a choice of four colours - black, yellow, green and red.
"On this occasion it was decided that black was too close to the AFC Wimbldeon kit, yellow too close to the Rochdale kit and green clashed with the goalkeepers.
"We have never believed that a referee in a red shirt could cause problems, there are many teams with red shirts."
They added: "If we were made aware of problems then we may investigate, but that is not the case."
Dons manager Terry Brown called the trend of allowing referees to wear red "rubbish".

The title says most of the issue, but the critical issue is that I don't know why I can't find patch_cirrus.c. I was trying to solve the problem with Lunarts and friends, but what worked for them didn't work for me; i.e., adding the line:
options snd-hda-intel model=imac27_122,
to /etc/modprobe.p/alsa-base.conf, then, restarting the computer.
Does Lubuntu not have the file patch_cirrus.c?
How does it build the list of alsa options?
Please let me know if you need additional information.

Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center has been named to the Becker's Hospital Review list of "100 Hospitals With Great Heart Programs," recognizing outstanding hospitals and cardiology programs in the United States.
Hospitals on the list were chosen for their excellence in heart care and research based on clinical accolades, recognition for quality care and contributions to the fields of cardiology and cardiovascular surgery. The Cavanagh Heart Center at Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center continues to be recognized as a leading provider of cardiac services and vascular research. The center offers complete diagnosis, treatment and educational services, focusing on highly specialized surgical and minimally invasive heart care treatment, intensive care, telemetry, cardiac rehabilitation and cardiovascular research.
"It's the hard work of our physicians, nurses and technicians that has earned us this honor," said Larry Volkmar, chief executive officer of Banner Good Samaritan. "Our facility is dedicated to providing world-class heart care to the Valley through our in-facility and home care services."
Surgeons at the heart center were some of the first in the nation to implant the left ventricular assist device to treat heart failure in patients not eligible for heart transplants. The hospital's surgeons are also the only physicians in Phoenix who perform pulmonary artery endarterectomy to treat clot formation in the pulmonary artery. Additionally, heart and vascular researchers at Cavanagh have helped innovate several new technologies, including an implantable device that monitors the heart and alerts patients when a heart attack may be imminent — even with no symptoms. The center is also one of the few hospitals in Arizona to offer a transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) program for people suffering from severe aortic stenosis.
Heart disease remains the leading cause of death for men and women in the United States. Banner Good Samaritan and other hospitals on the Becker's Hospital Review are working to combat this statistic through innovative clinical research, high-quality care and state-of-the-art treatments. These hospitals have also extended their services beyond the confines of their facilities by educating their local communities about heart health, helping sharpen our country's focus on preventive care and population health.

The campaign to save Ilkley's Manor House Museum and Art Gallery are being stepped up with a petition calling on Bradford Council to spare the service.
With just three weeks remaining until Bradford Council meets to finalise its cost-cutting budgets for the next two years, supporters of the Manor House are taking to the streets with a petition.
They want to show the strength of feeling in the community for keeping the Manor House open, as a community and arts venue, local heritage centre, visitor attraction and educational asset for local schools.
As part of money-saving cutbacks in many departments, Bradford Council wants to transfer the Manor House to community management as early as April.
But no organisation has come forward to take it over, and museum supporters fear it is unrealistic to find an alternative management system in time – which could result in the museum being mothballed.
Although established support group the Friends of the Manor House has been involved in talks over the museum's future, it is unable to take on full responsibility for management itself.
So far, 22 people have offered to work as volunteers assisting Bradford Council staff if the council continues to provide management and some staff.
It has also been revealed the museum could win a temporary stay of execution until the end of June.
However, this would be with reduced operation and help from volunteers. The Council says this is to give the community more time to formulate long-term plans.
The Council's ruling Executive is due to study public consultation feedback at its meeting on Tuesday. The Executive is to present its final budget proposals to the full council on February 20.
Museum supporter, Liz Bowen, plans to be out on central shopping street The Grove on Saturday between 10am and 4pm collecting signatures on a petition calling for the Council to reverse its propose budgetary decision for the Manor House.
She believes the petition will allow more residents – including those who do not regularly use a computer – to have their say on the future of the museum.
She said: "In setting this up as a hard copy petition I have made a conscious decision to target people who would find a street petition easy and immediate. This will include people who do not use computers but would still like to be involved."
She would welcome help collecting signatures.
Those already behind the bid to keep Council museum services fear the building and garden could deteriorate if it is closed, significant local artefacts could be taken from the town, and there would be no more school visits, history and art talks, concerts, or courtyard performances at Castle Yard.
A further meeting between local organisations and Bradford Council is due to take place today.
The Gazette continues to encourage Ilkley people to comment on Bradford Council's budget proposals online, at bradford.gov.uk.

BAYTOWN, Texas - A string of crimes in Baytown has residents on alert. Thieves are targeting homes, businesses and vehicles.
Derek Sanders said he got the surprise of his life when he came home Wednesday to his recently-purchased house and discovered it had been burglarized. He lived in the home for less than a week before he became a victim.
"They took a crowbar and broke the dead bolt," Sanders said. "I walked into my room and seen a few things were missing and I bolted out the door because I didn't know if they were still in here or not. I went outside and called the cops."
Sanders said the burglars took electronics, his gun and other items. He said he now doesn't feel safe.
"It's not the fact that they took stuff, it's the fact that they were in my house," he said.
Baytown police said there has been a rash of burglaries on the east side of the city. There have already been 22 cases reported this month. Seventeen of the cases involve homes or businesses and five involve vehicles, police said.
Anyone with information about any of the burglaries is asked to call Baytown Crime Stoppers at 281-427-8477.

HER HUSBAND'S passing following a protracted battle with a brain tumour and the unfailing care he and their family received from Prospect Hospice therapists and nurses prompted Julie Haynes to reevaluate her life by herself offering patients assistance and guidance.
Just five years after losing her partner, the mother-of-two chose to sit on the other side of treatment and give back by retraining as an occupational therapist, and is currently shadowing staff and bringing comfort to hospice patients as part of her degree.
Julie's husband Richard Tweddell was diagnosed with a brain tumour in March 2004 after suffering three seizures within eight weeks.
In July 2005, he underwent a difficult operation – during which part of the growth was removed – followed by courses of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. When it appeared his condition was incurable, he was given between three and ten years to live.
This is when the young father was referred to the Wroughton hospice. Yet, as many like him, the prospect of hospice care was too much to handle for Richard who very much perceived hospices as bleak and frightening places patients came to die.
The family were assigned a community nurse who completely transformed their outlook on Prospect and most importantly acted as a welcome emotional brace through distressing months adjusting to the inevitability of Richard's terminal prognosis.
Soon Richard attended the charity's day service and they were both supported by occupational therapists and the family team.
"He loved going to the day centre," said Julie, 38, from West Swindon. "It was somewhere different for him with different social interactions and it was a day for me to relax knowing he was safe and looked after."
The couple with their daughters on their wedding day
The couple married in April 2009. Richard died at Prospect nearly a year later in March 2010 at the age of 33.
The relief and comfort Julie experienced at the hospice allowed her to gain perspective on her life and find her vocation. After a foundation course, she applied to the University of West England in 2012 to become an occupational therapist.
Julie, who has raised funds ever since Richard's death for the charity, returned to Prospect in a professional capacity for a ten-week placement in January as part of her course requirement.
"After Richard passed away I received a lot of support from the family support team and the bereavement team," she said. "I got to a point where I needed to think about what I wanted to do long term.
"The occupational therapy team had helped us and allowed Richard to stay at home as long as he could. At the time I was fascinated by occupational therapy because I had never heard about it before until we came across the team as a family at Prospect.
"I think it's a way for me of giving back and to show my gratitude for the support they gave Richard and my family. Coming back here has brought back a lot of memories and it gives meaning to why I've now chosen that profession. It really inspired me."
Speaking about the reasons which prompted her to return to Prospect as a temporary staff member, she said: "It felt logical to come here. I found it all through Richard. I wanted that experience for myself to enhance my journey as a student.
"Prospect, for me, is somewhere that feels safe and comfortable."

Home > Community > Health Library > Testicular Cancer Screening
Testicular cancer is not common. It is
often first discovered by the man himself, or his sex partner, as a lump or an
enlarged and swollen testicle. In the early stages of testicular cancer, the
lump, which may be about the size of a pea, usually is not painful. Testicular
cancer has a high cure rate.
Experts have different recommendations for screening for
testicular cancer. For example, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force advises against routine testicular exam or testicular self-exams in
teens and men who have no symptoms.footnote 1 The USPSTF says that the evidence shows that these exams have only a small benefit (if any) and may cause harm from false-positive results that lead to having diagnostic tests or procedures you don't need.
Testicular self-examination (TSE) may
detect testicular cancer at an early stage. Many doctors do not believe that monthly TSE is
needed for men who are at average risk for testicular cancer.
Monthly TSE may be recommended for men who are at high risk for
testicular cancer. This includes men with a history of an undescended testicle
or a family or personal history of testicular cancer.
For more

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A Jacksonville native and soldier who was injured in an improvised explosive device blast in Afghanistan in November needs the community's help.
The Jacksonville Association of Fire Fighters hosted a benefit luncheon Friday for Josh Gillette, a United States Military Special Forces bomb sniffing dog handler.
"I'm doing great. I'm in good spirits today," Gillette said. "It's a good day today."
Gillette has done a tour of duty in Bosnia, two tours in Afghanistan, and four tours in Iraq. He spoke Friday via Skype from his home in Tennessee because he's recovering from his injuries.
Gillette's dad, David Gillette, is a Vietnam veteran and says he's so thankful his son is alive.
"My son was injured doing his job, nearly lost his life, and parents aren't supposed to bury their kids," David said.
While on a routine patrol for IEDs last October, Josh Gillette was slightly wounded when an IED exploded. He was still able to help another soldier who was severely injured.
About a month later, he was involved in a second explosion, which shattered his face and arms. His teeth were blown out and shrapnel left him with serious eye injuries.
Gillette was flown to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Maryland, where he had an extensive recovery. He was released last month to return home and continue his recovery.
Gillette's injuries have taken a tremendous toll on the soldier and his family, including his 8-year-old daughter, who was very upset about how her daddy looked.
"I asked her, 'Does daddy scare you?'" Gillette said. "She goes, 'Yeah.' I said, 'Is it because of the boo boos?' 'Yeah.' And I told her those boo boos will go away, but your daddy needs a hug right now."
Gillette's in line to receive two Purple Hearts and two Bronze Stars for valor.
"The support we get from family, friends, just hometown fellow Americans, it's amazing the support we're getting," he said.
The fire union decided to come together to help Gillette.
"There are soldiers all over the world that give us the ultimate sacrifice, give their lives up for the defense of our country," said Randy Wyse, president of the fire union.
The union honored Gillette with a luncheon. All the proceeds are helping him and his family get through these difficult times.

2011-2012 APR Retrospective Survey
APR Retrospective Survey
The first stage of the process occurred in March-April 2011 and involved an online survey with paper copies available by request. The survey served as an announcement for the beginning of the Retrospective and provided a means to obtain initial feedback about recent experiences with the APR process and general planning efforts. The survey was distributed to APR stakeholders who were identified as task force members, nominators, county staff, and other interested community participants.
The full set of results is located here.
Observations from the 2011-2012 Area Plans Review Retrospective (APR) Survey
The following observations are based on 128 completed surveys out of 296 total visits to the website. The 83 partially completed surveys were not counted towards the observations.
Characterization of Respondents:
- The highest response rate of the completed surveys was from interested community members (26%) or task force members (21%). Note: the number of participant types is not equal. For example, there are fewer elected or appointed office and staff involved in the process than task force members.
- Participants involved in the Mount Vernon District (39%) had the highest response rate, while Braddock District had the fewest (2%). Note: the respondents were allowed to select up to three supervisor districts in which they participated. Response rates may be related to the number of nominations in the district or the level of survey advertising. For example, 33 items were reviewed in the Mt. Vernon District, while no items were reviewed in the Braddock district in the most recent South County process.
- Most respondents considered themselves active participants in land use process outside of the APR process (69%) and have participated in past cycles before the 2008-2009 North County and the 2009-2010 South County cycle (55%).
Highlights of APR Successes:
- Accessibility of information on the DPZ website was beneficial to the majority of respondents, as the website was accessed frequently or somewhat frequently (54%- Question (Q) 5). The majority of respondents (76%) also felt that the clickable map and postings of schedules and staff reports online improved their access to information (Q7).
- Additional outreach methods, such as television programs and adjacent property notification letters seemed to improve the process for a high number of respondents (43%), but additional outreach should be done as 33% of responses were not aware of these methods (Q4).
- Providing additional detail about the nominations and their impacts earlier in the process was beneficial to the majority of the respondents: for example, impact analyses available at task force meetings and in the preliminary staff reports (61%-Q10), more details on nominations form (65%- Q15), and clarification deadlines (57%- Q1)
- The majority of the respondents preferred a regularly scheduled review process (Q24)
- APR is seen as an opportunity for anyone to participate in land use process (Q9, 12, 14)
Highlights of APR Challenges:
- Moderate success was achieved with the screening of nominations. An almost equal number of respondents said that the nominations were screened successfully and unsuccessfully (25%-28%, Q8).

30 Rock Jokes about rape, and Tina Fey does say something...
Dear Engaged Bystander: Sally Laskey, associate director of the NSVRC sent me a quick email about last week's season premiere of the TV show 30 Rock. If you don't know about this show, it is a very popular, prime time comedy series created by Tina Fey. The series is loosely based on Fey's experiences as head writer for Saturday Night Live and takes place behind the scenes of a fictional live sketch comedy series.
Sally wrote because this very popular show ran the season's premier with a vivid joke that about someone raping his wife.
At first I thought that this was just a mistake. I am a huge fan of Tina Fey and I hoped she would not stoop to that level of humor. Then I read a blog posting by Melissa McEwen who pointed out that in addition to the rape joke, there were also two other jokes about child sexual abuse.
I watch my reactions and because I admire Tina Fey, I noticed that my first instinct was to try to find some redeeming value or some reason she would do this. Here is what I initially came up with:
· I see that by introducing these topics into a comedy she is helping to break the silence around sexual violence.
· I also see that by portraying the rape scene from the perspective of the perpetrator, she is clearly showing her audience that a rapist can be anyone – he does not have to be the monster lurking in a dark alley or at the edge of the playground.
· Last, she does not hesitate to respond to the Pete's remark about having sex with/raping his sleeping wife with the following comment, "That is one of the most upsetting things I have ever imagined."
All of that is true and maybe she even thought about it in this way. Since the show portrays what goes on in the back rooms, maybe this is an issue she had to face more than once – so she is true to the story. But when I watched this episode I was appalled that she gave this kind of light treatment to a topic as devastating as rape.
- First, I am trying to imagine what it would be like to watch this scene as a survivor of rape. Most women would not feel they had to be wary of a comedy show like this.
- Second, I know that people are much more likely to remember images than words. That is why you see commercials about a new drug and the actors are smiling as they tell you about the life threatening side effects of that drug. People will remember the smiling faces. In this case, people will remember the rape and not Tina's words that this is upsetting or wrong.
- Third, I was appalled that he was able to say that having sex with/raping his wife when she was sleeping was a great thing without any consequences.
I know this kind of media portrayal happens every day. If you look through Melissa's blog, you can see her talk about show after show. We need to begin to get different kinds of stories into these television shows. We need to show consequences for this kind of behavior in these shows. And we need to ask that people not only say that they are upset, but hold people accountable when they say they are breaking the law.
I am disappointed and hope that we can begin to get stories in that I would feel good about sharing with my friends, family, and community.

Fresh off their win for best blush and best primer from BeautyHeaven.com's Glosscars Beauty Awards, Napoleon Perdis' Bronze Patrol and Auto Pilot have definitely made an impression in these neck of the woods.
The first thing I noticed about Bronze Patrol ($50) was it's swirled baked powder. It shimmers with gold flecks and leaves an amazing sun-kissed look. All you need is one sweep of this paraben free bronzer. And I found out it's enriched with Vitamin's A and C.
Now, the Auto Pilot Pre-Foundation Primer ($39) deserves it's award too. lt's a very gentle, but effective primer. Just put it on before your foundation (even after your moisturizer). No worries, it's scientifically formulated to allow your makeup to "automatically" glide over the skin. And it helps your make-up last.
Let's just say these two award winner's have made their point and it's definitely been noted.
What are your favorite Napoleon Perdis products?

Have you installed SSLstrip ?
any input on this would be nice......originally I was unable to use the command "sslstrip -l 10000" and then I think I made a mistake somewhere and I don't know what happend from there [IMG]file:///root/screenshot.png[/IMG]
idk if that pic will show up so here is the text error
root@bt:/pentest/web/sslstrip# sslstrip -l 10000
Traceback (most recent call last):

any help would be greatly accepted
Have you installed SSLstrip ?
Back|track giving machine guns to monkeys since 2007 !
Do not read the Wiki, most your questions will not be answered there !
Do not take a look at the: Forum Rules !
Try to use the locate command, and search for sslstrip.py: locate sslstrip.py
Once located, go to that folder and execute it: python sslstrip.py -l "the port you use", if no "l" is given, it uses by default the 10000, in your case, you do not have to use " -l 10000" unless a different port is used in iptables.
As Mr Sickness said and to be able to use it as command everywhere in the system, you need to install it.
Being in the folder where sslstrip.py is do: python setup.py install

We have A LOT of new stock to add to the catalogue, so in preparation I've just done a quick tidy up of the site.
Back in stock we have:
- Taking Things Too Far (consistently the most popular thing on our table at zine fairs, with good reason)
- Well, That Was Weird (Tamara's ace collection of short, short stories)
- Underground Fairylands (Emma's laborious/elaborate letterpress/collage found poetry thing/zine)
And COMING SOOOON:
- Many issues of Plastic Knife, including the latest, which is an album
- Many issues of Piss Factory, including the latest, which is not an album but is (as always) about music
- Three issues of Cheap Toys
- Two issues of Love Like Pop
- The Dream of Maxen
Thanks to everyone who came and visited us at our last open day at Junior Gazette. The day was a great success and we'll be planning more open days this year, keep your eyes peeled. We took some photos of the space as it was set up, including Syd Terminal's collages that were on display, so when we get around to it we'll put them up.
Thanks also to Luke, Thomas and everyone in Melbourne who helped put on and who attended the Festival of the Photocopier at the beginning of the month! It was an extremely hot weekend in Melbourne – fortunately zines are really cool, right? Haw haw. Anyway, we were really pleased that we could finally make it down for the Fest. Can't wait for next year.
On a more serious note before I sign off, you may have heard that the MCA has done the call-out for their zine fair this year at the end of May. Take Care has decided not to participate in this year's fair, due to sponsorship connections the MCA has with a finance conglomerate called Transfield. Transfield run the service contracts in the detention camps on Manus Island and Nauru. Some of you may be aware that there is currently a campaign underway to boycott the upcoming Sydney Biennale due to its ties with Transfield. We support this boycott and calls for organisations and individuals to disvest their financial interests with Transfield and any other company that profits from the human misery – and murder – produced by the conditions in the camps. As such, we feel that we can't be involved with the MCA fair this year, either, unless they suddenly cease to have a relationship with Transfield. That would only happen if we make some noise about it. So we encourage others to read up on this issue, and to join us in a boycott. The Crossborder Operational Matters site has a lot of valuable information on it about Transfield's relationship with the arts. The RISE (Refugees, Survivors and Ex-Detainees) site has a statement on the Biennale boycott.

Prepare cake by covering with buttercream icing.
Before rolling out fondant, knead it until it is a workable consistency. If fondant is too sticky, knead in a little confectioner's sugar. Lightly dust your smooth work surface or the Roll & Cut Mat and your rolling pin with confectioner's sugar to prevent sticking. Roll fondant sized to your cake. To keep fondant from sticking, lift and move as you roll. Add more confectioner's sugar if needed.
Gently lift fondant over rolling pin and position on cake.
Shape fondant to sides of cake with Easy-Glide Smoother (the pressure from your hands may leave impressions on the fondant. Use the straight edge of the smoother to mark the base of the cake. Trim off excess fondant using a spatula or sharp knife.
Smooth and shape fondant on cake using the Easy-Glide Smoother. Beginning in the middle of the cake top, move the smoother outward and down the sides to smooth and shape fondant to the cake and remove air bubbles. If an air bubble appears, insert a pin on an angle, release air and smooth the area again.
Your cake is now ready to decorate.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Ferneze Jones' mother, Phyllis Jones, said she called Channel 4 Monday night because a week after her son's death, she wants his story heard.
"He was a loving person and he did not deserve to die the way he did," said Phyllis Jones.
Jones said she is worried that her son's accused killer, Christopher Charles -- who remains in the Duval County jail charged with murder -- could get out. According to police, Charles shot and killed Jones in front of his Arlington home.
Charles told police he and Jones (pictured, right) had been arguing over money and that Jones had threatened to come to his home and shoot Charles. Jones did return to the home February 26, but he was not armed. Charles told police he was forced to open fire on Jones.
"We want the court house, the White House, to hear our voice," said Jones' aunt, Renae Stanfield. "Feel our pain, we don't want this to happen to no one else. All this stand your ground that's a loophole, we won't stand for it," said Stanfield.
Although Charles is charged with murder, Channel 4 spoke with gun rights attorney Eric Friday said Charles could very well claim self defense.
"It doesn't matter whether they're armed or not, if someone's attempting to do a forcible felony against you, you have the right to defend yourself, whether they are armed or not is irrelevant," said Friday.
Jones' family is worried after seeing cases like Trayvon Martin's death and Jordan Davis' death and worries "stand your ground" laws could impact Ferneze Jones' case.
"It hit personally about Trayvon, it hit personally about Jordan Davis, the guy who got killed on Baymeadows," said Jones' children's mother, Shankia Flanders. "It's always hit home. Someone close to you now it's really hit home."
Charles remains in jail on murder charges, he will be back in court March 20.

text: lonewolff 1182 Report post Posted July 5, 2013 Is it ok to 'steal' someones idea if they are doing a crap job of it? I came across this RTS game on my Daughters android device the other day. I love the concept behind it. But, in playing it, I find that it is slow (as I traced the game to be browser based), very buggy, poorly supported, poorly documented (well, no docuementation at all in fact...), no responses at all from the creator of the game in his own forum (the forum also hard to track down), homepage has next to nothing, not even his own game. The Alpha, turned to Beta yesterday. The olny difference that I could see is that you are now sprayed with advertisments. This guy has gone, the absolute opposite in the whole project than I would have gone. Loving the 'idea' but totally frustrated by the handling by the solo developer, I was thining of taking this idea and doing it the 'right' way (my perception of right anyway). Obviously, it would have to be handled delicately as to not be obvious that the concept is very similar, to avoid any litigation, etc.. I am sure my end result would be absolutely different anyway as my intention would not be to make a clone (more 'inspired by'...). What are your thoughts on this? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a painless technique that uses a strong magnetic field and pulses of radio-wave energy to produce highly detailed, two- and three-dimensional images of organs and tissue inside your body. MRIs can facilitate earlier detection and treatment of disease, which helps curb the need for more invasive procedures such as exploratory surgery or biopsy. An MRI usually takes 30 to 60 minutes, and involves no exposure to radiation.
Most MRIs require patients to lie still in a long, narrow scan tube. For people who are obese or claustrophobic, Carilion also offers open MRI technology – access to the new 3T MAGNETOM Verio MRI. This large-scale scanner accommodates individuals up to 550 pounds. If you feel anxious about the test, this type of MRI can be more comfortable and may reduce your need for calming sedative medication.
At Carilion Clinic, we use MRIs to diagnose and evaluate:
- Brain disorders
- Tumors
- Chronic and degenerative conditions
- Cancer staging
- Vascular diseases
- Eye abnormalities
- Spinal diseases
- Abdominal diseases
- Musculoskeletal diseases
- Facial or neck abnormalities
- Infection and injuries
- Cardiac irregularity
- Blood flow and vessel disorders

Sun., March 4 - GRIFFINS 0 at Hamilton Bulldogs 1 - 25-22-5-4, 59 pts. (4th)
Playoff Push: Grand Rapids played its fourth of six three-in-threes last weekend, earning four of a possible six points – the highest total it has reached in any stretch of three games in three nights this season. The club began the week with a three-game winning streak but fell into a 2-0 hole in Friday's contest versus Rochester less than two minutes into the second period. The Griffins rallied with three straight goals to take the lead and secured the 4-3 victory when Francis Pare tallied his 10th of the season at the 16:25 mark of the third period. The following night, the Griffins got out to a 3-1 lead over the Western Conference-leading Oklahoma City Barons courtesy of a pair of goals by Gustav Nyquist, but the visitors fought back with goals at 14:33 and 18:59 of the final frame to force overtime. The Griffins endured the extra session and earned a 4-3 win, with Chris Minard scoring the clinching marker in the fourth round of the shootout and Ty Conklin denying all four Barons shooters to give the team a season-high five-game winning streak. Sunday's visit to Hamilton saw the streak end, as the Bulldogs scored the game's only goal midway through the third period to take a 1-0 victory from their division rivals.
Winning Ways: The Griffins' five-game winning streak from Feb. 22-March 3 was the team's longest since a nine-game winning streak from Oct. 23-Nov. 13, 2009. The team also won four in a row at home during that stretch for the first time since a five-game home winning streak from Feb. 20-March 16, 2011. Grand Rapids will only play at home four more times in the month of March, with its next home game coming March 16 versus the Toronto Marlies.
Flying South: The Griffins will play each of their next four and six of their next eight games in the state of Texas, the first three of which will come this week. Grand Rapids will visit the Texas Stars on Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. EST before playing back-to-back games against the Houston Aeros on Saturday at 8:35 p.m. EST and Sunday at 6:05 p.m. EDT. The team will finish the five-game road trip with a second visit to Texas on March 13. After two home games on March 16 and 17, they'll return to the southwest corner of the AHL for two games against San Antonio (March 20 and 22) and Oklahoma City (March 24 and 25).
Divisional Dominance: Five of the Griffins' last six games came against North Division opponents, and the team posted a 4-1 record during that stretch. Grand Rapids has a 15-5-1-1 record in its own division this season, giving it the second-best points percentage in the AHL in divisional play at 0.727 (equaling St. John's). Only Oklahoma City holds a better percentage than the Griffins at 0.741 (20-7-0-0). The Griffins have outscored their division opponents 78-51. They only have two divisional games left this month, but will play six of eight games against the North in April.
Heavy Workload: Goaltender Ty Conklin has played every minute for the team since being assigned by Detroit on Feb. 21. With his 4-3 shootout victory over Oklahoma City on Saturday, Conklin became just the second goalie in franchise history to win his first five decisions, joining Mathieu Chouinard, who started 5-0 in 2000-01. In his bid to become the first goalie to win his first six, Conklin was nearly flawless. He surrendered just one goal in the team's 1-0 loss to Hamilton on Sunday, which was the result of an Eric Lampe shot from a sharp angle that glanced off the skate of Garnet Exelby. The veteran NHL netminder shows a 5-1 record, a 1.81 goals against average and a 0.936 save percentage in six games played.
Practice Makes Perfect: Prior to the Griffins' 5-0 shutout win of Lake Erie on Jan. 20, the team's penalty kill had surrendered a goal in four consecutive games, ranking 20th in the AHL at 80.7%. In 18 games since then, the Griffins have killed off 59 of 67 penalties (88.1%), including 37 of their past 41 (90.2%). Grand Rapids' shorthanded unit now ranks 11th in the AHL at 82.8%.
Clear Day Roster: The Griffins on Tuesday released their 2011-12 Clear Day roster. Only the 22 players listed on a team's Clear Day roster are eligible to compete in the remainder of the AHL regular season games and in the 2012 Calder Cup Playoffs, unless emergency conditions arise as a result of recall, injury or suspension. The Griffins' Clear Day roster consists of goaltenders Ty Conklin and Jordan Pearce; defensemen Travis Ehrhardt, Garnet Exelby, Gleason Fournier, Doug Janik, Brian Lashoff, Logan Pyett and Brendan Smith; and forwards Joakim Andersson, Louis-Marc Aubry, Fabian Brunnstrom, Mitch Callahan, Chris Conner, Landon Ferraro, Jamie Johnson, Chris Minard, Gustav Nyquist, Francis Pare, Trevor Parkes, Brent Raedeke and Tomas Tatar. In addition, goaltender Tom McCollum, defenseman Bryan Rufenach and forward Willie Coetzee are currently in residence.
Missing Pieces: With seven regulars missing from their lineup, the Red Wings recalled three players from the Griffins on Monday, summoning left wing Chris Conner, defenseman Doug Janik and goaltender Jordan Pearce. Conner, who missed Sunday's 1-0 loss to Hamilton after being recalled by the Red Wings on Saturday, is fourth on the Griffins with 36 points (11-25—36) in 41 games. Janik is one of just four Griffins to skate in each of the team's 56 games so far this season, posting a team-best plus-18 rating alongside 26 points (7-19—26). In 17 appearances this season, Pearce sports a 3-7-1 record, a 3.53 GAA, a 0.874 save percentage and one shutout.
Making an Impact: Grand Rapids is also without defenseman Brendan Smith, who was recalled to Detroit on Feb. 27. The second-year pro recorded his first NHL goal in the Red Wings' 6-0 victory over the Minnesota Wild on Friday, chipping a loose puck over goaltender Josh Harding to give the team a 2-0 first period lead. In Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks, Smith logged 17:50 and dropped the gloves with Andrew Shaw in his first NHL fight. In six NHL games this season, Smith has one goal, two assists, a plus-one rating and 11 penalty minutes. Smith ranks among the top AHL blueliners with 10 goals (T6th), 32 points (T8th), two shorthanded goals (T1st), four shorthanded points (1st), three shootout goals (T1st) and four game-winning goals (1st).
Fresh Faces: In addition to recalling three players from the Griffins on Monday, the Red Wings reassigned goaltender Tom McCollum to Grand Rapids from the ECHL's Toledo Walleye, while the Griffins recalled defenseman Bryan Rufenach. McCollum has appeared in 15 contests with the Griffins this season, showing a 6-8 record, a 3.59 GAA and a 0.883 save percentage. He also owns a 6-6-2 record, a 2.62 GAA and a 0.909 save percentage in 15 games with the Walleye. Rufenach ranks second among ECHL defensemen with 13 goals and 11th with 31 points (13-18—31), and he recorded one assist in three games with the Griffins earlier this season. Rufenach joins fellow first-year defenseman Gleason Fournier, who was reassigned to Grand Rapids from Toledo last Thursday. Fournier has one goal, one assist and eight penalty minutes in six games with the team.
Number One?: Gustav Nyquist leads the Griffins with 54 points (19-35—54) in 52 games and is one point shy of tying Glen Metropolit for the most points ever by a Griffins rookie. Metropolit recorded 55 points (20-35—55) in 79 games during the 1997-98 season. The Halmstad, Sweden, native has already tied Metropolit's single-season rookie assists record, and he sits five goals away from the single-season goals record. He is currently tied with Eric Himelfarb (2004-05) for seventh place, trailing Metropolit, Chris Bala (21 goals in 2001-02), Josh Langfeld (21 goals in 2001-02), Kevyn Adams (22 goals in 1996-97), Justin Abdelkader (24 goals in 2008-09) and teammate Francis Pare (24 goals in 2008-09).
Player of the Month: The AHL last Thursday announced that Griffins left wing Chris Minard has been named the Reebok/AHL Player of the Month for February. Minard registered eight goals and five assists for 13 points and recorded a plus-seven rating in 10 games during February, returning to form after having missed the season's first 36 games due to a concussion. Minard is the first Grand Rapids player to earn such an honor since April 2001, when Derek King was named the International Hockey League's player of the month in that circuit's final season of existence. The veteran forward has 17 points (12-5—17) in 20 games since returning and is second on the team with a plus-nine rating.
Milestone Watch: Captain Garnet Exelby is enjoying his most productive season as a pro, as his assist in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over Oklahoma City gave him a career-best 11 assists. He has 15 points (4-11—15) in 55 games, bettering his AHL-best total of 13 points (3-10—13), set last season with Rockford…Francis Pare's game-winning goal on Friday versus Rochester was his 74th as a Griffin, giving him sole possession of fourth place all time, passing Derek King. He is one goal away from tying third-place Kip Miller and four from catching second-place Jamie Tardif…Chris Minard is one game shy of 100 as a Griffin…Tomas Tatar will tie Cory Emmerton for 10th place on the franchise's assists leaderboard with three more helpers…Curt Fraser is four games away from becoming the first head coach in franchise history to hit 300 games.

Words to Live By
A Memoir
By William Whitehead
Cormorant Books, 248 pages, $30
READING Toronto TV writer William Whitehead's memoir feels like being at a dinner party that's been crashed by a great storyteller. It's enjoyable until you realize he's not going to stop before he has told every joke in his repertoire.
Whitehead was the 40-year partner of the late novelist Timothy Findley, or the lesser-known half of one of Canada's most famous gay power couples.
Words to Live By strings together anecdotes and stories that cover the arc of Whitehead's 80-plus years. For those looking for some of the secrets into the private life of Findley, who died in 2002 at age 71, there's not much here.
Findley (known to his friends and fans as Tiff) barely appears in the book's first half, except in a rather interesting aside about his and Whitehead's sex life or, more accurately, lack of one.
While the couple's relationship was happy and genuine, Whitehead writes, they were not sexually compatible and consistently had independent affairs.
But as fits the conversational tone throughout, Whitehead writes, "Let's talk about something else."
A longtime writer of CBC-TV's The Nature of Things, among other documentaries, Whitehead delights in wordplay. He loves the slight misunderstandings that can occur when someone mishears something or when someone tries to communicate in another language and isn't quite up to the task.
This book often feels like it would be better (and funnier) if the stories were read aloud, as in the passage where three immigrant construction workers discuss a foreman's plight who has just discovered that his wife can't bear him any children.
"Yes," declared one, "she is inconceivable." "No," said the next. "She is impregnable." The third piped up, triumphantly, "Idiots! She is unbearable!"
Whitehead begins with his childhood in Regina and follows with his efforts to become a scientific researcher. He doesn't so much fail as a scientist as lose interest.
When the story does finally shift to include Tiff, the couple's relationship is blossoming at the same time as Canadian culture. Both men begin as actors. Whitehead eventually turns to documentary writing and Findley gravitates to play and novel writing. Among his 11 novels were the Governor General's Award-winner The Wars, Famous Last Words and Not Wanted on the Voyage.
The memoir's soul belongs to the couple's years of domestic bliss at Stone Orchard, their legendary Carrington, Ont., retreat. Tiff and Whitehead blend in admirably in conservative rural Ontario, where the locals even competed to have their sons hired to work on their farm.
One of Whitehead's funniest stories is about a mouse living in their dishwasher that Whitehead brings out when some Jehovah's Witnesses visit.
In the last few years of Tiff's life, the couple lived in a cliffside bungalow in Cotignac, France. Here, the narrative really engages. Whitehead writes with more passion and less folksy charm, as friends from all over the world visit.
The misadventures they have in trying to figure out French food and culture are genuinely fun and funny.
Tiff's decline was gradual, and Whitehead's account of their parting is as sweet as it is sad.
In the end, Whitehead is content to gloss across the surface of his life, laughing at himself as much as the world along the way. Many of his stories contain quiet truths, but while they may elicit the occasional chuckle, they produce almost as many groans.
One can't help but wonder, too, how Findley would have regarded this book. His skill as a storyteller is in no danger of being overshadowed by that of his longer living partner's.
Greg Klassen is a Winnipeg arts marketer, publicist and writer. He and his longtime partner married this summer.

Boston bombing: A blast from the past
The Boston bombing has jarred my memories of living in London in the early '90s. It's a cliche to say that people are resilient, that they shrug off terrorism and get on with their lives, but there is much truth to that nonetheless. That's how it will be in Boston - just as it was in London during my three-year stay, when the city was persistently nagged by the IRA.
On The Times op-ed page today, Boston novelist Dennis Lehane writes, "Boston took a punch on Monday - two of them, actually - that left it staggering for a bit. Flesh proved vulnerable, as flesh is wont to do, but the spirit merely trembled before recasting itself into something stronger than any bomb or rage." That was precisely the sentiment in London, a city similarly populated with hardbitten hardasses who knew how to take a punch and keep going. Taking my cues from the natives, I learned to do the same.
A photo today of littered, deserted Boylston Street is particularly striking, because I saw that kind of scene so many times. In the spring of '93, the IRA detonated a two-ton truck bomb in the heart of the city's financial district, killing one, injuring 44, and creating half a mile of high-rise rubble. A day later I walked the length of that deserted sector, and you could hear a pin drop. (The only way I could give the mass wreckage some human scale was to write about the destruction of one medieval church.) This was barely a year after the IRA bombed a different stretch of the financial district, killing three and injuring 91.
In both instances, Londoners seethed for a few days; then they cleaned up and soldiered on. This was our definition of normal.
In my residential neighborhood (10 minutes on foot from the Beatles' Abbey Road crosswalk), it wasn't uncommon to be awakened by the thump of a nocturnal bomb going off somewhere in town. Or to go out for milk on a typical drizzly morning, only to discover that the local retail street had been cordoned off with yellow tape, and that the cops had inked "Security Alert" on whiteboard placards, all because an undetonated device had been discovered in a doorway. Or to ride the London Underground, only to be forcibly evacuated to street level because somebody - maybe IRA, maybe not - had left a smoldering something on a subway platform somewhere.
Everyone was on perpetual alert, particularly after what happened in March '93 in the town of Warrington, near Liverpool, when an IRA bomb detonated in a trash can and killed two children. But they seemed to take it all in stride. A guy in a fish n' chip shop once told me how the IRA had launched three mortars at 10 Downing Street in 1991, in a bid to kill the British prime minister, "and they landed in the back garden, within 50 feet of 'im." By his tone, he just as easily could have been talking about a surprise dusting of snow.
It was normal to open your backpack or workbag for inspection before being admitted to a movie theater. (That didn't happen every time, but they liked to surprise you.) It was normal to walk down the street and discover that you were being watched by a camera. (The Brits were way ahead of us on public surveillance. An ACLU-type lawyer in London lamented to me in '93, "We think, at least, that the camera use should be regulated, but the government has already said no to that.") It was normal to reflexively back away from any trash bag left on a sidewalk. It was normal to drive near the financial district and be stopped by armed cops at a security checkpoint (the government called it "traffic management," the critics called it "a ring of steel").
I did a story once about the London definition of normal, and asked the locals whether it bothered them. A corporate clerk named Peg Ealey referenced her childhood memories of World War II: "I remember the Blitz. It was dirty and dusty and the food was uninteresting. But I said, 'Blast that Hitler, let's just get on with it.'"
London's civil liberties squeeze is probably tighter than what we might be inclined to tolerate, post-Boston. We'll surely write our own definition of a new normal. But London's native spirit - its insoucient resilience - is already alive and well on these shores. Let's just get on with it.

Looking for Kia Optima reviews? Exchange and Mart provide new car reviews for all makes and models. Read the latest Kia Optima review with Exchange and Mart.
A quality budget alternative to rivals that doesn't get the attention it deserves - and it's a good driver's car to boot.
Kia gets plenty of headlines these days and rightly so - its cars have come to stand for quality, lots of kit as standard and great value. And, while the likes of the cee'd get plenty of attention, the Optima doesn't.
Maybe it's because in some ways it's not a fashionable car - five-door hatchbacks like the c'eed, the Ford Focus and the VW Golf are far more popular these days with buyers than four-door saloons like this. But telling that to the likes of Audi, whose A4 remains a heavyweight, not to mention machines like the BMW 3 Series, Mercedes C-Class, Jaguar XE and even the resurgent Ford Mondeo.
Perhaps this all-new fourth generation car will lift the Optima up in people's minds. It's is a proper four-door saloon, with lots of room in the back and a big boot.
And it wouldn't even be a stretch to consider it as a budget Audi A4.
If that's a bit much for you then it definitely rivals the aforementioned Mondeo, as well as the Skoda Superb and Vauxhall Insignia. Quality levels, while not quite a match for the Germans, are as excellent as ever and there's lots of standard gear - alloys, reversing camera, touch screen nav system and dual-zone air con are all included.
On the inside it's well-appointed for this segment with, as mentioned, quality materials and a feel above what it costs. Rear passengers, much like in the Skoda Superb, get acres of legroom. While much of this might not come as too much of a surprise, the way it drives might.
There's just one powerplant - a 1.7 diesel - although a hybrid has been mooted for 2017. It's a great engine, with a smooth, effortless drive and the manual gearbox is light and satisfying. It all adds up to a truly enjoyable experience from behind the steering wheel.
That oil-burner is efficient, too, with 110g/km of CO2 on the manual and 116g/km on the auto. Combined mpg is 67 on paper and you'll sit happily in the mid-40s in the real world without batting an eyelid, with 50-plus attainable on long trips.
Looks-wise it stands out from the crowd as well and, dare we say, is one of the more attractive cars in this market, stepping away from the blandness that has been bestowed upon some rivals. Standard kit, as we've seen, is good, but you can add to it to your heart's desire - there's even a prestige harman/kardon stereo available. And that illustrates as well as anything just how far Kia has come.
We know it's a purveyor of very good cars and has been for some time, but the Optima demonstrates that that's true across the range, not just on the headline-grabbing models.
And you don't get a seven-year warranty anywhere else, either. Kia's motto is 'The Power to Surprise'. Never a truer word spoken.

If You Want Commitment, Stay AWAY From the George Clooney Types
Of course George Clooney and Elisabetta Canalis have split. Here's why dating guys like George only leads to a broken heart.
-Melissa Chapman
When I was 22, I had this habit of dating George Clooney-esque guys who–while they wined and dined me and never flat out stated our relationship wouldn't last longer than a Will Arnett sitcom– would cast me under their irresistible spells.
Just what is the definition of a George Clooney type of guy, you ask? A guy who can both literally and figuratively, "Charm the pants off of you," thanks to his intense masculinity, power, and of course, his all-around affability. It is almost impossible to avoid getting sucked in by his magnetic aura, even though he never gives you a firm commitment.
But, when you're in his presence for those precious few hours (or, if you're lucky and he grants you a night in his apartment– only to be told he has to golf with his buddies for the rest of the weekend. And, since he can't even give you a sliver of his drawer to store a pair of your underwear, you'll inevitably do the walk of shame back to your abode just as he's readying to tee off), you go against your better judgment and accept this arrangement.
Read Weinergate: Do Men Who Cheat WANT to Get Caught?
You simply allow yourself to live in this suspended reality — that this guy is going to finally come to the realization that you are his one true love. Sure, you've been dating, but he's never "officially" called you his girlfriend, his cleaning lady has a key to his apartment but you don't, and you're not 100 percent sure he isn't getting some on the side. When your girlfriends, the deli counter guy and your mail carrier all tell you this man will never commit to you, you listen, you vent, and then he calls you and all bets are off. You are like putty in his hands, and your firm rules and need for some kind of commitment go out the window.
So, why do we women keep going back? Why do we serial date these George Clooney, Peter Pan types who make it very clear to everyone that no matter how much we starve ourselves, fawn over them, and essentially put absolutely no pressure on them to be anything other than their enigmatic selves, we will never be their one and only? I think it's precisely because, when we're with a George Clooney type, we get to live in this fantastic bubble of unreality too.
Dating someone who you only catch a glimpse of on their best behavior just several hours a week when the chemistry is intense, the lighting just right, the liquor flowing and money no object — well, it's like a date straight out of The Bachelorette. As in, completely fabricated and not grounded in reality.
These George Clooney guys will never be the ones who stand in line at CVS and buy you maxi pads, they'll never cook you chicken soup and feed it to you when you feel like your head may explode, and they'll never sit in a car with your mother and take her to her doctor's appointment.
Ultimately ladies, your George Clooney will either decide he's done with you, or you will meet another man who will actually give you keys to his apartment. Whichever comes first, but don't think a George Clooney will change.
Elisabetta Canalis, once you lick your wounds, you'll realize it's not that you weren't gorgeous, smart, sophisticated and essentially everything a man could wish for in the perfect woman. It's that men like George Clooney will never commit to you or anyone else. Now, go find that guy who will ravish you… with the key to his place and a permanent spot in his heart!

Evaluating Pain in a ChildSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
When a child is in pain, his or her parents usually know it. But pain can be hard for a child to describe. An older child may be able to describe the pain as sharp or cramping or tell whether the pain comes and goes (intermittent). A child between the ages of 18 months and 3 years may complain of pain or tell you he or she is not feeling well. But the signs of pain in a very young child can sometimes be hard to recognize. Watch for changes in how your child acts.
The signs listed below may help you decide whether your child's pain is mild, moderate, or severe. A child with severe pain will have more of these behaviors, the behaviors will be more constant, and you will be less able to comfort the child. Look for:
- Changes in usual behavior. Your child may eat less or become fussy or restless.
- Crying, grunting, or breath-holding.
- Crying that can't be comforted.
- Facial expressions, such as a furrowed brow, a wrinkled forehead, closed eyes, or an angry appearance.
- Sleep changes, such as waking often or sleeping more or less than usual. Even children in severe pain may take short naps because they are so tired.
- Body movements, such as making fists, guarding a part of the body (especially while walking), kicking, clinging to whoever holds him or her, or not moving.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 1/2/2013 (1660 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
ALL those 50-50 draws at Winnipeg Blue Bombers home games in 2012 added up to a windfall of $127,500 for amateur football in this province, the Bombers announced Friday.
With their latest cheque to Football Manitoba, the Bombers say the club's 50-50 draws have now generated a total of $1.2 million for amateur football since 2002.
"Our 50-50 program is very successful at our home games and the generosity of fans does not go unnoticed," club CEO Garth Buchko said in a statement.
Ron East, executive director of Football Manitoba, said the money is used to provide financial support to its member organizations.
Philion joins Argos' staff
TORONTO -- Ed Philion is back in the CFL.
The veteran defensive lineman joined the Toronto Argonauts as a defensive line coach Friday. The CFL club also hired Eddie Brown as its defensive backs coach.
Philion appeared in 127 career games with the Montreal Alouettes, and was a four-time CFL all-star. He played in five Grey Cup games, winning in 2002. Before joining the Alouettes in '99, Philion spent time with the NFL's Buffalo Bills.
Philion played for Argos defensive co-ordinator Chris Jones in Montreal from 2002 to '06 and later served as a guest coach with Calgary in 2010 when Jones was with the Stampeders.
Brown joins the Argos after spending six years as a coach at Grand Valley State University. He played 13 seasons in the Arena Football League as a defensive back-receiver, winning three Arena Bowl championships with the Tampa Bay Storm (1991, '93 and '95).

An Ilkley-based scheme which sends reconditioned tools to Africa is concentrating on bicycle repair kits, to mark the Tour de France's visit to Wharfedale.
Ilkley Tools for Africa – a branch of charity Tools for Self Reliance (TFSR) – is collecting tools suitable for bicycle repairs, for use in projects in several African countries.
Ilkley Tools for Africa is a group of local volunteers that collects tools people no longer want and refurbishes them locally at two workshops.
The charity works with local African organisations to provide tool kits and training to bring about effective and sustainable change to artisans and their communities.
The primary countries TFSR works in are Ghana, Malawi, Sierra Leone, Tanzania and Uganda.
Its focus is not only on bicycle repair. The Ilkley group has recently sent a builders' kit to Uganda and a carpentry kit to Tanzania and is, at the moment, assembling electrical installation and automechanics kits.
They also collect and refurbish unwanted sewing machines and any haberdashery that accompanies them.
The largest bicycle repair kit contains seventy-two items including some tools that are specific to the work of repairing and maintaining bicycles such as chain splitters, bicycle spanners, tyre levers and pumps alongside general tools such as pliers, files, hacksaws, wrenches, hammers and screwdrivers.

A SEWER worker from Darwen is set to star in a new 'warts and all' TV documentary about staff at water company United Utilities.
Camera crews followed Adrian Booth for several weeks as he went unblocking drains and sewers around the North West last summer — even filming him driving home in just his boxer shorts after a particularly mucky job.
The first episode of Watermen: A Dirty Business will be broadcast on BBC Two tomorrow.
Adrian, who once lifted up a manhole at an abattoir to find dozens of floating eyeballs, said he and his 'partner in grime' Wes Odell found the experience daunting at first, but they gradually got used to the cameras and started enjoying being filmed.
The 37-year-old joked: "I did sort of volunteer for it, but I got stiched up royally by my line manager who had sent out a blanket email asking if anyone wanted to be filmed.
"I said I'd do it if no one else came forward but, within two minutes, they'd set up a meeting with me and it was all decided.
"When the filming started I found it a bit intrusive and worried that I was putting myself out there for criticism, but after a while it became more natural.
"United Utilities allowed it to be shot with warts and all and didn't have any editing rights, but we were shown the first episode last week and it's all been shot quite sensitively and I think it comes across well."
Adrian lives in Baron Street with his wife Sarah and young children Harrison and Emily, who often make him take his dirty clothes off outside when he gets back from work.
He added: "There's one episode where I get very muck-ed up and strip down to my underpants before driving home, but I was probably playing up for the cameras a bit too."
Hannah Wyatt, executive producer of Mentorn Media, which made the series, said: "Without clean water we couldn't survive.
"It's easy to think it just falls from the sky and someone collects it but, in fact, it's a huge and complex operation from customer services to ground- breaking engineering projects.
"The series goes behind-the-scenes of this process and meets the unsung heroes who keep our taps flowing."

BEIXIAOYING TOWN–Elena Kaliska of Slovakia has won the gold medal in women's single kayak slalom by nearly 15 seconds, successfully defending her top finish at Athens.

Her combined time of 192.64 seconds was 14.3 seconds ahead of silver. Jacqueline Lawrence of Australia took that medal in 206.94. Violetta Oblinger Peters of Austria won bronze in 214.77.
Kaliska punched her first in the air and blew a kiss to the cheering crowd.
