people are not assumed to have any common sense, and you can't legislate for that.

I don't often nitpick the (copious) spelling errors that appear here, but please don't juxtapose those words again.

He may have been watching to much of the Aussie TV series called Rake over there where the main character/barrister is named Cleaver Greene (it does get shown over there BTW). ;-)

‘Overly Obese’ Body Starts Fire in Ohio Funeral Home

A "freak accident" started an unscheduled fire Wednesday night at the Hillside Chapel Crematory in Cincinnati, owner Don Catchen said.

"My operator was in the process of cremating remains and (the body) was overly obese and apparently it got a little hotter than the unit is supposed to get," Catchen said. "One of the cremation containers that we had close got caught on fire and that's what burnt."

Cincinnati Fire Chief Michael Washington said the fire started with a business-as-usual cremation.

When fat in the body burned at a higher temperature than usual, the too-hot flames spread to nearby containers and parts of the surrounding room, he said.

"We believe there were some combustible storage boxes that were too close to the ovens," Washington said.

The fire began at about 9:40 p.m. It took District 3 first responders about two hours to douse the flames

Message 1865109 - Posted: 1 May 2017, 22:38:06 UTC - in response to Message 1864122.  

the main plot of the episode (corruption and excessive wait times for treatment at Veterans' Administration hospitals), not how Granger fit into it. They brought in two new characters (one of whom had a brief cameo right after Ferrer died and will probably be a permanent recurring character) for the evidently extensive rewrite.

Okay, so Part 2 didn't even mention the VA scandal again. It was all about tracking down the stolen gold and setting up the THREE guest characters as likely to recur.

Granger was hardly mentioned at all, but there's still a picture of him in the title sequence and Ferrer is listed among the regular cast, which I'm guessing will be the case for the rest of the season.

@Bernie you were in this game at one point weren't you?

Front page article in the London Metro Newspaper.






I've had experiance of that company after my crash and all they care about is making money out of patients and there's NO other choice in hospitals Captive market . Total scum and that's my personal opinion but will happily say it to anyone's face no problem !!
Edit :
THEY make the money and their staff get " minimun wage " ar#e wipes " !!!

Must be a slow news day.

Hospedia was the company I used to work for, and when I left in 2012 it was 70p a minute for a call and the minimum was £5 a day to watch TV.

So it has taken 5 years for them to get upset. This is old old old news and stories almost exactly like this were around when I worked for them.

Seems in 5 years the prices haven't gone up.

Yes the backers of the company an American Investment firm, do only care about money, that is how they managed to take over the company.

Poor treatment of staff was one reason I left, another was when I complained to my boss about the way I was being used to cause friction between departments, I received a phone call from the technical director, telling me to do my job and keep quiet, or....

To be fair when I left the company had never shown a profit due to the high cost of the original install.

To be frank I am surprised they are still going.

Fan is set to Auto, On is the only other setting, System settings are: Cool/Off/Heat
Setting to Off instead of Heat at the thermostat does nothing, the furnace just runs and runs, and runs...
Cool will do nothing since that system is not totally there anymore...

Given this it looks as if there is an interface issue between the controller "on the wall" and the furnace controller. This sort of issue is not uncommon, particularly when using "quite modern" controllers with "quite old" heating devices like yours. And (as I know from experience) can be a grade one pain in the situpon to resolve :-(
Have you actually tried for a new heat system from your CAP? It would appear from this page (https://www.capsbc.org/home-weatherization) that you may be able to get your heating either repaired or replaced (tenth bullet point = Appliance repair/replacement
(water heaters, cooling and heating appliances, washers, etc.)). You certainly have a qualifying income, by a considerable margin.

The scope appears to have changed a little since last time I looked (probably over a year ago)

A question about debt to income ratio in this context - is it based on monthly gross or nett income?

And does it consider credit card balance as part of one's debt?

Hope it works out for you Vic - at least your request is being passed to the correct department and not being slung in the bin and forgotten at the first hurdle.

Barstow is getting a bigger WalMart! Same location down the road from the MacDonalds train station?

Oh and I love my water frozen. Love it when it turns to slush right out of the freezer.
