It seems like I am crafting all the time. Really, I do more watching USTREAM and You Tube than I do crafting. I keep saying that I need to art and stop watching other people art. So tonight I was watching Must love Paper (Jess) USTREAM show and I watched her make a card. From that inspiration, tips and the encouragement in the chat I declared that I was going to the craft room to make a card. Here is what I came up with.
I got these tags in a swap and they were laying on my desk so I used them. The "hello" stamp is from Stamping Up (a set I found for .99 cents at the thrift store). The bakers twine is from a RAK and the papers are all scraps. Brads are from my stash. Colorbox chalk ink.

Radio waves to zap nanotube-embedded cancer tumoursNovember 14th, 2007 - 8:16 am ICT by admin
The technique did not produce any side effects, though some healthy liver tissue within two to five millimetres of the tumours sustained heat damage due to nanotube leakage from the tumour.
"These are promising, even exciting, pre-clinical results in this liver cancer model. Our next step is to look at ways to more precisely target the nanotubes so they attach to, and are taken up by, cancer cells while avoiding normal tissue," says senior study author Dr. Steven Curley, professor in M. D. Anderson's Department of Surgical Oncology.
He believes that targeting the nanotubes solely to cancer cells is the major challenge in advancing the therapy, and reckons that a clinical trial is at least three to four years away.
During the study, a solution of single-walled carbon nanotubes was injected directly into the tumours. The researchers then exposed the four treated rabbits to two minutes of radiofrequency treatment, resulting in thermal destruction of their tumours.
Control group tumours that were treated only by radiofrequency exposure or only by nanotubes remained undamaged.
In laboratory experiments, two lines of liver cancer cells and one pancreatic cancer cell line were destroyed after being incubated with nanotubes and exposed to the radiofrequency field.
"I'm humbled by the results of this research. I realize it's early in the race, but Dr. Curley and his team have moved on this carefully with utmost speed. I look forward to continuing to work with them and hopefully to watching the first person be treated with this procedure. The race isn't over but it needs to be taken to the finish line," says entrepreneur John Kanzius of ThermMed LLC, who invented the experimental radiofrequency generator used in the experiments.
Dr. Curley says that radiofrequency energy fields penetrate deeply into tissue, and thus it may be possible to deliver heat anywhere in the body if targeted nanotubes or other nanoparticles can be delivered to cancerous cells.
Without such a target, radio waves will pass harmlessly through the body, he adds. (ANI)

In the Los Angeles Times, AHS speaker David Schenker explores how Lebanon again appears to be hurtling toward instability:
"Less than a generation removed from the 15-year civil war that claimed nearly 200,000 lives, Lebanon again appears to be hurtling toward instability. If not for the Lebanese armed forces, many say, the state would have already devolved into chaos. It's not clear how much longer the army will be able to play this critical role."

On the darker side
As promised ..here are some pics of my Dark Fairy/Vampire hair accessories
I have made them using charcoal coloured reindeer moss, black lace, ribbon roses and cute little bat wings!
They look fabulous on and are available to buy from my Etsy shop!
They come in a variety of designs and on different coloured Alice bands.
They are the perfect costume accessory to wear for Halloween parties, Goth events and festivals.
Light weight and comfortable to wear, these are suitable for teens to adults, not for small children as they have small parts and are a delicate item.

Otra de las piezas raras que podemos encontrar en Live in Vancouver 1990, es The Ballad of the Foxhunter. Poema de W.B. Yeats, escrito en 1889, dentro de "Las peregrinaciones de Oisin y otros poemas" (The Wanderings of Oisin and Other Poems), su primera colección de poemas.
Letra de W.B. Yeats
Música Loreena McKennitt
'Lay me in a cushioned chair;
Carry me, ye four,
With cushions here and there,
To see the world once more.
'To stable and to kennel go;
Bring what there is to bring;
Lead my Lollard to and fro,
Or gently in a ring.
'Put the chain upon the grass:
Bring Rody and his hounds,
That I may contented pass
From these earthly bounds.'
His eyelids droop, his head falls low,
His old eyes cloud with dreams;
The sun upon all things that grow
Falls in sleepy streams.
'Huntsman, blow the horn,
Come make the hills reply.
Loosen on the morn
A gay wandering cry.
Rody, blow your horn.
Come make the hills reply'
'I cannot blow my horn,
But only weep and sigh.'
Lollard treads upon the lawn,
And to the armchair goes,
The old man's dreams are gone
He soothes the long brown nose.
Moves many a pleasant tongue
Upon his wasted hands,
Aged hounds and young
The huntsman near him stands
Round his cushioned place
With new sorrow wrung:
Hounds gazing on his face,
Aged hounds and young
Fire in the old man's eyes,
His fingers move and sway,
The wandering music dies,
They hear him feebly say,
The blind hound with a mournful cry
Slowly lifts his head;
They bear the body in;
The hounds wail for the dead.
The hounds wail for the dead;
Wail for the dead.

Are you an entrepreneur thinking about moving in to the exciting world of E-Commerce? This blog will give you the ten points that will help you make this decision faster. So, you have also been wandering in the lush green valleys of digital entrepreneurship and now you want to know how you can settle down and start your own long-lasting business! Well, we'd say that there are a lot of options, but the best of the best option seems to be an E-commerce business. Although there are quite a lot of advantages and disadvantages for E-commerce, the good outweighs the bad and here we have provided you with ten reasons why we think E-commerce is the best option for entrepreneurs.
1. Future of Shopping
In the future, every business is expected to move to the internet. Airline and bus tickets are already being sold online, while people are ordering items ranging from computers and mobile phones, to clothes and even food online. The trend is growing every day and it's all centered on people's desire to buy anything and everything they want, on the internet. As an online business owner, you can make a comfortable living, right from your home. All you need to do is, first, decide on the products you want to sell, do a thorough research of your target market, learn the local trends and then just start an E-Commerce business. Bingo! You have just taken the first step into the future of shopping.
2. Products vs. Services
Yes, the services industry is growing fast and people who are living off of this industry simply love it, especially entrepreneurs. With just a relatively little investment, some manage to do almost as good as E-Commerce companies. However, in today's fickle world, products usually always cost more than services and that is the great advantage of E-Commerce businesses, as they tend to drive these prices down. Plus, clients matter and while people might be sticklers when buying services, they are willing to pay a lot more for certain products, than they would in a real world market.
3. Earn As You Sleep
A person's sleep is one of the most important things in their life and with an E-Commerce business you will never have to forgo it ever again. This is because they usually follow an 'earn as you sleep' business model. You have to put in the work in the initial stages as you set up your business, but after you're done, you can cool your jets and enjoy seeing your business grow. The online tools, services and professional personnel available to you will make it possible to have a passive earning business. You can automate everything in a few months and then just keep checking up on it, whenever possible. However, while we would certainly list this as one of the reasons why E-Commerce businesses are the best option, the importance of being vigilant can never be ignored!
4. Growing Consumer Base
Experts predict that in the near future, an increasing amount of people will start buying almost every major item online. Today, the number of people who have made at least one purchase online makes up a whopping 81% of the total web population. This number is expected to go even higher in the coming years as the veritable benefits of E-Commerce spur this growth on, even more.
5. Innovative Tools
The major problem that faces sales departments in both online and conventional businesses is to target reluctant buyers. In actual stores, it can be difficult to stop customers from leaving, while at the same time convincing them to spend more money. However, for E-Commerce companies, this is entirely possible. They have a plethora of amazing tools that are designed specifically for customer retention. An example is that of CartHook, that helps you to identify customers that started your checkout process, but failed to complete it. The system automatically tracks and contacts them, giving them the choice of completing their purchases once and for all. Online businesses also have the advantage of using the content on their website to attract customers, as well as to retain them. Their content is among the most powerful tools at their disposal, if used properly.
6. Minimum Surprises
In the real world, you might be able to use the 'earn as you sleep' business model, but you'll likely wake up to a store robbery or some other mishap. However, in the E-Commerce business, such surprises are very rare. There are several tools and services available, which streamline the sales process, all the way from reports to shipments and everything in between.
7. Small Staff
If you are still confused about whether or not to start an online business, try going to any big store in your vicinity and notice their staff. If you start counting, you will notice that every department has a supervisor and workers, along with security, cashiers, accountants etc. The list keeps going on and even an average sized supermarket employs over five or seven people. However, in an E-Commerce business, all you need are your online tools, a computer and perhaps some freelancers. There have been many examples of people setting up online businesses virtually on their own and even though the going can get tough sometimes, the end results have almost always been satisfactory.
8. Minimal Expenses
Real world grocers usually have a lot of expenses. However, one of the biggest benefits of E-Commerce companies is that you can bring down most of these costs due to being virtual. This cuts out expenses like rent or utility bills as well as keeps the number of employees down. In fact, some countries either reduce the taxes or exempt digital businesses from taxes altogether. Their biggest expenses then become the items on sale, which you can leverage to your advantage.
9. Industry Leaders
Yes, the world has changed a lot. Tesco, and many such large superstore chains are not industry leaders anymore as the age of the internet takes over. Even though they might still retain their power, even people with a limited knowledge of computers and technology are now turning to the internet to satiate their desires. An example is the growing strength of online businesses like Amazon and eBay etc.
10. Amount of risk
There are countless stories of people who took out loans or spent their entire savings to set up a departmental store in their area. Their basic purpose was to start a comfortable and stable business, but many find themselves without money within a few months, and have to fold. There is no such risk involved in E-Commerce businesses. Since it is relatively cheaper to set up online businesses, you also end up losing a lot less money if you do gout of business. In fact, you even get to keep the domain name, which is the internet equal of owning your own property in the real world.
So, if you want to try something best in online business, E-Commerce business is the best way.

Mobile network Three has announced plans to extend its all-you-can-eat (AYCE) data offer to all of its existing contract smartphone customers.
From October 7, pay monthly dudes can add AYCE data for an extra – wait for it – £3 per month. Get it? Personally, we would've preferred if they'd made it £3.50, just to be dicks. Ah well.
Some interesting stats from Three show that data use is increasing at an insane rate. The average Three iPhone 4 user, for example, used a decent 488MB in February this year, but just six months later that figure is almost 1.2GB. Ooft.
Of course, that could be a result of existing AYCE customers absolutely ripping it, and don't forget tethering is included too.
"The One Plan quickly became our number one contract tariff and our all-you-can-eat PAYG offer is our most popular bundle. From October 7th we're opening up all-you-can-eat to everyone else, starting from as little as £18 per month," purred Thomas Malleschitz, marketing director at Three UK.
"Our customers tell us that their use of data goes up significantly over the lifetime of their contracts, as they do more and more with their handset. All-you-can-eat data means that they don't have to worry, they can have that peace of mind for the long term on a contract of their choice."
So, waitaminute, people start doing less when they get a new phone? Actually, he's got a point, I guess. I always forget that the majority of folk are pretty thick. Er, am I allowed to say that?

Relationships between brain and body temperature, clinical and imaging outcomes after ischemic stroke
Journal of Cerebral Blood Flow & Metabolism: April 10, 2013
Pyrexia soon after stroke is associated with severe stroke and poor functional outcome. Few studies have assessed brain temperature after stroke in patients, so little is known of its associations with body temperature, stroke severity, or outcome. We measured temperatures in ischemic and normal-appearing brain using 1H-magnetic resonance spectroscopy and its correlations with body (tympanic) temperature measured four-hourly, infarct growth by 5 days, early neurologic (National Institute of Health Stroke Scale, NIHSS) and late functional outcome (death or dependency).

|proper candy canes for £1.00
I found Tiger first on pinterest a few weeks ago. When I clicked through to the Tiger Stores website I realized that Tiger was a bricks and mortar shop and although you could see some of the products online you had to go to the store to actually buy them. That made me sad until I realized that there was a brand new store in Cambridge and I was going there with Rosie!
|wrapping pager 4 meters for £1.00
|retro heart tree ornaments 8 for £2.00
|Christmas napkins 20 for £1.00
Look at the quilt block pattern on these napkins. What fun. Visiting the real shop was even more impressive than the website. Everything was done well, from the store layout to the tasteful music playing in the background. The shop was full of clever and cute items at amazing low prices. Really it was like Primark met Paperchase! I was able to pick up lots of stocking stuffers and small gifts. Rosie and I went through once and it was so inexpensive that we had to go through again. There were so many great gifts for quilters and kids too. For all these reasons, Tiger is my new favourite non-fabric shop!

City of Dusk
Javatu is the Astronomer King of Vatu Matal. Although he belongs to a small, unfavored tribe, Javatu remembers a time when the Gatekeepers were the greatest tribe in all the preserve. He desperately wishes to lead his people in a return to their former glory, and is absolutely ruthless in the pursuit of his goal. Unfortunately, for all the progress Javatu makes at a civic level, the tribe does not seem to grow in size or favor. Javatu is cunning and intelligent in his dealings, and although he tries to be polite to everyone he encounters he tends to rub many people the wrong way.
Javatu is a member of the Desdes Mara, and he personally believes that the gods are simply powerful mortals that have used their arcane might to enslave the Salastese of the Preserve. He is destined to lead an uprising against the New Gods, but unless something changes this uprising is also destined to fail.
Javatu is a Salastese man that stands about 5'10", with slightly tan skin and dark blue eyes. He has a square face, broad shoulders, and a narrow waist. His hair is shoulder length and is a dark auburn color. Javatu usually wears the garments of his office: A dull yellow linen robe with a colorful, feathered cloak; an elaborate head-dress decorated with gold and jade; and silver wristbands in the shape of coiled snakes.

Acute Aortic Dissection and Intramural Hematoma
- Authors:
- Mussa FF, Horton JD, Moridzadeh R, Nicholson J, Trimarchi S, Eagle KA.
- Citation:
- Acute Aortic Dissection and Intramural Hematoma: A Systematic Review. JAMA 2016;316:754-763.
Acute aortic syndrome is an acute, potentially fatal pathology within the wall of the aorta, including aortic dissection, intramural hematoma (IMH), and penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer. The incidence of acute aortic syndrome ranges from 3.5 to 6.0 per 100,000 patient-years in the general population, but progressively increases with age (27 per 100,000 patient-years in patients ages 64-74 years, and 35 per 100,000 patient-years in patients ≥75 years). Acute aortic dissection comprises 85-95% of all acute aortic pathologies. This article includes a review of the pathophysiology, presentation, diagnosis, and available therapies for acute aortic dissection and IMH based on a review of 82 published reports on the topic. The following are key points:
- Pathophysiology. The inciting event in IMH is rupture of the vasa vasorum, causing bleeding into the aortic media; IMH can progress to acute aortic dissection if the intimal layer ruptures, with the creation of an entry tear. The presence of an entry tear is pathognomonic for acute aortic dissection; however, most entry tears (most acute aortic dissections) occur spontaneously, rather than as a result of IMH.
- Classification. Acute aortic pathologies are classified using either the Stanford or the DeBakey system. Stanford type Al lesions involve the ascending aorta, whereas type B lesions are confined to the descending aorta. The DeBakey system accounts for pathology affecting both the ascending and descending aorta (type I), only the ascending aorta (type II), or only the descending aorta (type III).
- Acute aortic dissection demographics. The average age of patients presenting with acute aortic dissection ranges from 48-67 years (median 61 years) and 50-81% of patients are men. Hypertension is the most common comorbidity (45-100% of patients), followed by smoking history (20-85% of patients), chronic renal insufficiency (3-79%), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (5-36%), and stroke or transient ischemic attack (0-20%).
- Acute aortic dissection symptoms. The most common presenting symptom of aortic dissection is chest or back pain (84.8%), often described as "sharp." Women with aortic dissection present at older ages than men (49.7% of women were >70 years vs. 28.6% of men); and more often with atypical symptoms, leading to delayed diagnosis and higher mortality (30.1% for women vs. 21.0% for men, p = 0.001). Compared with white patients, black patients with aortic dissection tend to be younger, and have a higher prevalence of cocaine abuse, uncontrolled hypertension, and diabetes; however, in-hospital and 3-year mortality is not different.
- Acute aortic dissection diagnosis. The initial diagnostic evaluation should include computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or potentially transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), with comparable sensitivities and specificities (CT 100% and 100%, respectively, MRI 95-100% and 94-98%, respectively, and TEE 86-100% and 90-100%, respectively). If imaging is not available, elevated D-dimer (reflecting early damage to the aortic wall) has a sensitivity of 51.7-100% (median 93.5%) and specificity of 32.8-89.2% (median 54%) at a threshold of 0.5 μg/ml (convert to nmol/L by multiplying by 5.476).
- Acute aortic dissection treatment and prognosis. The reported short-term (30-day or in-hospital) mortality for type A acute aortic dissection is 13-17% (median 14%) for open surgical procedure and 0-16% (median 7%) for thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). The reported early mortality for type B acute aortic dissection is 0-27% (median 7%) for medical treatment, 13-17% (median 16%) for open surgical procedures, and 0-18% (median 6%) for TEVAR.
- IMH demographics. IMH typically occurs in patients with severe atherosclerotic disease. Fewer than 10% of events resolve spontaneously, whereas 16-47% progress to dissection. The average age of patients presenting with IMH ranges from 58-71 years (median 68 years), and 50-81% are men.
- IMH diagnosis. CT and MRI are the gold standards for the diagnosis of IMH; CT identification of intimal defects (discrete erosions of the vessel wall) is associated with progression to acute dissection.
- IMH treatment and prognosis. The early (in-hospital and 30-day) mortality of patients with IMH is 4-19% (median 8%) for medical management, 11-24% (median 17%) for open surgical repair, and 0-6% (median 2%) for TEVAR. However, these rates are limited by sources including few patients and exclusively observational studies.
- Recommendations. The following are the authors' recommendations:
- All patients with acute aortic pathologies should receive medical therapy to control pain and blood pressure.
- Type A acute aortic pathologies require immediate open surgical repair, although endovascular approaches are under investigation.
- Acute pathologies of the descending aorta managed medically or with endovascular procedures are associated with lower early mortalities than those managed with open surgical procedures. Although medical and endovascular outcomes appear similar, existing literature is affected by selection bias in which sicker, higher-risk patients with uncomplicated type B pathologies more often undergo TEVAR compared to medical therapy.
- Complicated IMH should be treated with open surgical intervention if type A, and TEVAR if type B.

HONOLULU — As an agricultural state, Hawaii remains famous to mainlanders for its exported crops of sugar cane and pineapple. All but unknown, even to Islanders, are the crops grown by men like Henry Koja and Paul Otani and 681 other farmers, whose production tends more to the mundane than the exotic.
Koja and Otani are truck farmers. They and their colleagues produce a spectrum of vegetables almost exclusively for consumption within the state of Hawaii. The prime exception, according to the Hawaii Farm Bureau Federation, are Maui onions--sweet, yellow onions that grow on the mountain slopes of Maui and apparently enjoy a select following on the mainland.
"Frank Sinatra loves them," claimed Hardy Hutchinson, a Farm Bureau spokesman here. "We can't grow enough of them."
Most commercial truck farming takes place on the slopes above the cane fields and pineapple groves, Koja and Otani said during a break in the annual meeting of the American Farm Bureau Federation, which drew 8,200 farmers and ranchers to Honolulu last week. Crops include broccoli, Chinese cabbage, celery, daikon, head lettuce and romaine, cucumbers, tomatoes, eggplant, green onions, watercress, sweet corn, watermelon, snap beans, green peppers and sweet potatoes.
"We can grow anything that is raised in California," said Otani, who farms on Maui. Given Hawaii's mountainous topography, he said, microclimates can be found to support just about any crop.

Georgia Coleman, (born January 23, 1912, St. Maries, Idaho, U.S.—died September 14, 1940, Los Angeles, California), American diver, the first woman to perform a forward 21/2 somersault dive in competition. She won several Olympic medals, including a gold in the springboard event.
Coleman had been diving for just six months when she entered the 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam, where she won a silver medal in the 10-metre platform competition and a bronze in the 3-metre springboard. An athletic diver, Coleman dominated the U.S. national diving championships over the next several years, winning the outdoor springboard and platform titles (1929–31) and the indoor 1-metre (1931) and 3-metre (1929–32) springboard events. At the 1932 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, she won a gold medal in the 3-metre springboard competition and another silver in the 10-metre platform.
In 1937 Coleman contracted polio; three years later, at age 28, she died after developing pneumonia. In 1966 she was inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame.

Did I ever mention we own a house? It's a decent little thing. Modest. 1060 square feet. One hallway for my kids to run up and down over and over…and over…and over. With our latest addition of Taysum last May and Alex and Elise's ever-growing supply of energy, we came to the realization that we need more space…before I
smash something go crazy! (There's something about the incessant running that makes me want to smash things! I don't, of course…but I want to.)
So, Hubs and I decided to get ready to sell. Yup, in this economy. It's going to be awesome. *forehead smack!* The other two sellers on our street are really going to appreciate it.
Now I'm in the process of getting the house ready to stage. But I keep getting distracted by
my addiction to DIY blogs ideas for décor adjustment. I find I'm getting ahead of myself in this whole process. I'm constantly having to remind myself to pack away and store/remove all the unnecessary stuff first and THEN I can think about damask curtains and DIY duvet covers. *sigh*
Anyone care to share some staging or selling tips? All advice welcome…

$5 general admission
Featuring young performers from across the region
The 2018 Ritz School for the Performing Arts Student Showcase will be 7 p.m., May 17 at the Ritz Theatre, 111 W. Third Street, Sheffield. Tickets are $5 general admission.
The showcase includes acting, vocal performance and dance performed by students from Brooks, Central, Colbert County, Colbert Heights, Central, Muscle Shoals, Phil Campbell, Red Bay and Rogers.
"This performance gives our students the opportunity to get up in front of an audience and practice what they've been studying," said David Hope, artistic director and acting instructor. "There's nothing like performing in front of a live audience, so it's a reward for them after a long school year and an opportunity to demonstrate their artistic growth."
The student showcase will feature dance numbers from "La La Land" and "Hairspray," Broadway vocal medleys and various scenes and monologues that highlight students' acting skills.
The Ritz School provides a high level of training for high school students who have a strong interest in, and aptitude for, the performing arts. Classes are designed to develop and prepare students to perform in solo and group performances. Instructors at the school include vocal instructor Gene Anne Gifford and dance instructor Madeline Hammond.
"Obviously, our students look forward to performing in the showcase, and we all work a little harder when we know that we are going to be in front of an audience," Hope said. "Because we only get them once a week, it takes them a year to get to this point, but it's always exciting for them. They know it's time to deliver."

Press release
£25 million to improve maternity wards and more help for mums and babies
More help for mums and families has been announced by Health Minister Dr Dan Poulter.
This announcement comes ahead of the NHS mandate - published next week - which will reinforce commitments around improving care, support and experience for women during pregnancy.
Mums and their babies are to get new support with a £25 million fund to improve birthing environments. Maternity services will be able to apply for new funds to improve their maternity environments. They can bid for ensuite facilities, rooms where partners can stay overnight or a wider range of facilities available like birthing pools. This means women will be able to give birth with more dignity and in more comfort.
As a further boost to new parents, the NHS Information Service for Parents is being expanded to cover older babies up to six months old and by April 2013 will be further expanded to cover children up to 18 months of age. The Information Service provides parents with free advice that parents can trust through regular emails, videos and texts on the issues that matter most to them - including all aspects of pregnancy and baby care, bonding and relationship support.
The service includes emails and video material on postnatal depression so that women and their partners can spot the signs of postnatal depression. It reminds both mums and dads to seek help from their GP if they think they or their partner is feeling more tired or down than usual.
This builds on the Government's pledges to:
- improve early diagnosis and support for postnatal depression;
- ensure every woman can choose where they give birth; and
- ensure every woman has a named midwife when they give birth.
Health Minister Dr Dan Poulter said:
"A new arrival in the family is a joyous time but can present challenges for mums and families, particularly new families. I want to help women and their partners as much as possible.
"Women with postnatal depression need care and support, not stigma. That's why early diagnosis for this traumatic condition and support for parents is so important.
"There will now be £25 million available to improve maternity facilities but not a penny of this will be given out unless there is evidence that women have been asked about the changes they want in their local areas. Whether it's more ensuite facilities, overnight rooms for dads, birthing pools or other improvements to the care and experience of women during pregnancy and childbirth.
"Over 73,000 parents have signed up to the Information Service for Parents since May 2012, this extension will help us to support parents for longer."
Since May the NHS Information Service for Parents has been available to every new parent to sign up to is their chid is under four weeks. We have just extended the service to cover babies up to 6 months old, and from next year it will grow to support parents with babies and young children up to 18 months old. That means doubling the length of support provided to parents.
This support for new parents, both before and after birth, will help both parents and their children. NHS maternity services already deliver high quality care, but the Government believes that there is more than can be done to improve mothers' experience and to make the choices and standards of care more consistent across the country.
- The NHS mandate - to be published next week - will be the main way the Government holds the NHS to account. It:
- Sets the long-term direction for the NHS.
- Ensures the NHS is focussed on achieving the results that matter most to patients.
- Gives those who understand what patients need best, doctors and nurse, more power and independence to deliver the best care patients deserve.

Live or Perish
The world that God created is amazing.
One way that it is amazing is that it is possible to live on earth, while hating and disobeying God. We take this for granted, but it is amazing that God continues to sustain the earth, while people living on it hate and mock him. If God stopped sustaining his creation, the world and the people he made would cease to exist in an instant.
In him we live and move and have our being (Acts 17:28).A God who would continue to sustain the lives people who have rebelled against him to pursue evil and destroy his universe is mind-blowing.
This explains the final destination of those who reject the gospel and continue to oppose God. After the final judgment, this earth will disappear and be replaced by a new heavens and a new earth in which God fully dwells (Rev 21:1). Those who reject God will have no place to go where they can escape the presence of God. He will be everywhere in the new heaven and earth. With the old earth gone, there will not place left where people can continue to live and oppose God.
People who have not made peace with him through the cross will not be able to tolerate the holiness of his presence. His presence is so glorious that those who have not been cleansed by the blood of Jesus will need to flee the awe of his presence. This leaves them with an impossible dilemma. They need God to sustain their existence, but they can bear to be near him. They need him to give them life, but they hate being near him.
People who have rejected Jesus and continued to rebel against God will face a choice. They will choose to lose his sustaining power, because they hate his presence. If the stops sustaining their life, they will cease to exist.
Jesus said that those who do not believe in him will not perish, but have everlasting life (John 3:16). The fate of those who to refuse to trust Jesus is to perish. Perish is a more accurate word than "annihilation", because the latter word implies that God does the annihilating. He does not do this.
Rather, people choose to perish, because they cannot bear to remain in the presence of God, and there is no place away from his presence where they can continue to exist. The will tell God to stop sustaining their existence, because they cannot bear to be in his presence. They will perish when God agrees to their request and stops giving them life. He does not force people to exist against their will. They will perish, because life apart from God is not possible in the new heavens and new earth.

40k Friday
The first thing I was struck with upon receiving my book was 'Woah - this thing is HEAVY!' The tome is over 450 pages of high gloss stock sandwiched between heavy duty covers and weighs over 4 pounds (which is more than my laptop). As you would expect, the book is beautifully illustrated with artwork and crammed full of fantastically painted models. Too much of the art is recycled for my taste, but I suppose the thing would have been the cost of small car if they used all new art. There are multiple fold out pages that have simply amazing Apocalypse level scenes of models and terrain. The rules only take up about 120 pages and include lots of examples, photos, etc. There is a new sidebar found throughout called 'Forging a Narrative' that gives loads of ideas on using the rules to add story elements to your game.
The next two-thirds of the book is fluff on the 40k universe and the armies that inhabit it, lavishly illustrated with 'Eavy Metal models. I kind of wish GW would put out two books - one with the rules and a companion book with the rest. I LOVE the background and history that comes with 40k, but I'd rather not have to muscle around this mammoth book at the game table. I'm sure the box set due out later this year will have the streamlined paperback mini book like last edition and I'll have to grab one from ebay.
The final section of the book is hobby related - painting, advice on campaigns, and scenario ideas. One of these includes the 500-point 'Battleforce Recon' mission for one hour games and a side bar called Suicide Squads for 200-point skirmish games. Every model counts as an Independent Character and you ignore Unit Coherency, Break Tests for 25% casualties, and the like.
So what's new? Here are a few things:
The core rules now include rules for aircraft so you can have air to ground assaults (and even air to air dogfights) in addition to the deep strike capabilities many of these vehicles afforded in the past. Again, not deep analysis, but these seem a little over powered at the moment. Flyers moving full out are hard to take down without dedicated Skyfire weapons and for the time being only Imperial Guard have the option to take these. I'm sure as new codices roll out options will increase. The cynical side of me thinks GW wants to sell more models by making flyers something you need in your army to compete. If I want to outfit my current collection of five armies with air support, I'm looking at HUNDREDS of dollars to add one or two models to each force! You can safely ignore flyers if you are not playing in tournaments unless one of your 'friendly' group starts the arms race...
A new slot in the force list (HQ, Elites, Troops, etc) is Fortifications, effectively giving you the chance to add defensive terrain as part of your army (and coincidentally encouraging the sale again of more models). I haven't played any games with fortifications, but it seems like they are easily destroyed by troops armed with Melta Weapons and you might be better served by adding extra troops instead. However, there is a 50-point choice of an Aegis Defense Line (basically barricades) that allows you to place a line of cover that might be a good choice. You can upgrade Fortifications (including the Aegis Defense Line) with Skyfire weapons to help combat those pesky fliers. Of course, GW only offers Imperial buildings at this time. These are easily converted to Chaos or Ork fortifications, but you'll have to break bad with your modeling skills for Eldar, Tyranids, and the like to include them in these armies (or come up with a narrative of why your Aspect Warriors are slumming in Fortress of Redemption).
Hull Points
Vehicles have been changed to include a new mechanic called Hull Points. Glancing Hits no longer result in a roll on a chart (and thus no longer end up with your vehicle as a smoking wreck from a lucky shot). A Glancing Hit simply deducts a Hull Point. Penetrating Hits also deduct a Hull Point and give a roll on a damage chart. If you run out of Hull Points, your vehicle is Wrecked, effectively coming a piece of terrain. Again, not deep analysis, but as most vehicles only have three Hull Points, it seems like concentrated fire will reduce one vehicle to terrain each turn. Vehicles have gotten a boost with the ability to move and fire more weapons than last edition so maybe the added maneuverability and smart play will compensate for what seems to be weaker tanks.
Warhammer Fantasy has had this rule for years. You can basically use your big-bad to single out your opponent's big-bad for a one-on-one in close combat. This is suppose to add a new dimension of heroism to the game with epic boss fights, but I think it simply encourages piling on extra junk on your characters. On the plus side, you can sacrifice a sergeant to one of these beasts to keep it from rampaging through your whole unit.
Ok - there's a lot more and a lot of subtle stuff (like random charge distances), but this post is long enough. The bottom line is it's still 40k. The basics are the same and only time will tell (or one of the Mathhammer lot) how the changes effect the balance of the game over the long term. In my inexpert opinion, infantry will be more important in 6th than it was in 5th which seems good for the way I build armies.
Next Friday I'll have an update on my Tale of One Gamer project...

Games Workshop is in business to make money. That's the truth. And if they didn't make money, they would go out of business.ReplyDelete
So they keep coming out with new "toys" for folks' armies and new tweaked rulebooks as well. The resultant sales make them money and keep them in business.
Now this is NOT a knock on GW. I personally find their prices to be much higher than I care to pay so I don't buy their products any more . . . but that doesn't mean that they make bad products or are a bad company.
As long as they make things that enough people are willing to spend money on, the folks who enjoy their games will have their products to enjoy . . . and I have no problem with that.
But do understand that they keep coming out with new "stuff" (including rulebooks) in order to generate sales and make money . . . and, again, that is not a bad thing (at least for GW).
So enjoy, sir. Enjoy.
-- Jeff
Definitely no problem with them coming out with new toys. They also need to come out with a new edition every five years or so to sell more books. I am fortunate enough to be able to afford anything I want in terms of the hobby so the prices don't bother me either. WotC is in the same business and I find it funny that players are surprised when they announce a new edition of D&D.ReplyDelete
I was wondering more about the balance of the game and if the new rules made flyers over powered to the point that if you don't have them, will you be able to compete with an army that does? I've read a lot of reviews by people who are much more into the tournament scene and many opinions are that you will indeed HAVE to include flyers in an 'all comers' list. Again, the cynical side says this was done to force people to purchase expensive kits to centerpiece their competition armies.
In the end, it doesn't matter to me anyway - I don't play in tournaments and if the flyer rules are fun (I haven't tried them yet) I'll buy the expensive kits. I have a Forge World Ork fighter that I bought years ago, so they'll be the first to benefit from these rules, and I think I have a Vendetta Gunship stashed around here somewhere...

I had a great day today. It was a bit unexpected, but at some point, going with the unexpected always brings a bit of fun.
Last night my friends up here stopped in at the cabin and told me I should come out to their airfield today. There would be over 200 boy scouts plus leaders there for a scouting Aviation Expo at the Webster City, Iowa Airport. There would be air acrobatics, Ralph Storm (my friend here) would do a crop dusting demonstration (planning to soak the boys with water), a Black Hawk helicopter was coming in, possibly a balloon liftoff (it didn't happen - way too much wind), remote-controlled planes, rocket demonstrations ... on and on. The boys could work on their aviation patch, there were flight simulators and classes on airplanes and navigation. There were even some lessons on what is happening with experimental aircraft.
So, I got myself up earlier than normal on a Saturday and headed in to Webster City's airport. I pretty much spent the day there, chatting with Sue and Ralph and their employees, meeting great people from around Iowa and watching young boys do their best to be cool and generally failing miserably. What a riot.
I met Bill K. (yup, can't remember his last name) who told me about his scouting career. He became an Eagle Scout in 1949 and has a really hard time with the fact that he is actually old enough to have any achievement in his life be a 50 year milestone. He walks with a cane, but told me he's not fragile, just has a balance problem. He never misses a scouting event and his troop is filled with young men who have multiple disabilities. He's no longer the scout master, but is there for every single meeting and event. His son is long since out of scouting, but he continues to participate. We talked about how wonderful it is for one of the young men there with some serious special needs, has been abused by people around him and yet is with a group of boys who make it a safe place for him to experience life.
I met Emery, who is a district scouting commissioner. He talked about his kids and his life and then we got to talking about handbell choirs. He couldn't stay tonight because he needed to get home - his choir is playing tomorrow morning in church and he's responsible for some of the big bells. He doesn't have the biggest, those are played by a much older man who has to take 3 days to recuperate after a performance, his arms just kill him. His kids have all grown out of scouting, but he continues to support this because he loves how it impacts young men to make them better with each other and with the world.
There was a young boy there - maybe 11 or 12 - with many physical issues. He can't eat certain things and believe it or not, this young boy was under a tent getting treated for something or other (splinters, falling smack down on the concrete, on and on) four different times. He so badly wanted to cry and complain, but didn't because there were always boys around him helping him to buck up and face the rest of the day. When he wanted to wander off, they wouldn't let him - everyone had to have a buddy and it was something they took seriously with him.
I saw kids who are probably laughed at, ignored, considered outcasts, pitied, teased, bullied and picked on in normal situations at school participating with other kids who never face those issues. Some of the klutziest kids ever would fall down and be surrounded by boys helping them back up. Others who were obviously coddled mama's boys and wanted to just sit all the time and be catered to, were encouraged to participate and play along with the group by leaders and fellow scouts.
There were moms and dads, scout leaders, troop leaders, boys of many ages. Each boy was different; some were tall, some were short, some were very small and some were large, some were athletic and some were so obviously not, some had special needs, some were social, some were loners. But, all were boys and all were having fun. They worked together within their troops and followed instructions from their leaders.
Today was a great day. I got a little too much sun and wind, but I discovered why Bill and Emery (and many, many others) still dedicate a lot of time to scouting. Hundreds of boys learn how to take care of themselves and others, learn how to interact with the world, experience things they would never be able to experience without the program and grow into men with a proud history as a foundation. I had the best time today!!!
