Will I need property searches when buying a property in Rotherham?
Searches are enquiries submitted to a number of authorities by Rotherham conveyancing solicitors to identify issues affecting the home you want to buy. Lenders also usually require conveyancing searches to be purchased.
How long does conveyancing take when buying a leasehold flat in Rotherham?
Almost all flats are leasehold. There are also an estimated 1 million leasehold houses throughout the country. The legal work for a leasehold property can take weeks longer than a freehold property as leasehold transactions involve more work and the landlord or managing agent are involved.
Varied factors, such as an unresponsive landlord or incomplete managing agent information, can lead to serious delays.
Yes, it can take considerably longer to carry out the conveyancing on a leasehold home when compared to conveyancing on a freehold house.
The buyer's solicitor must review several leasehold-related documents. These could include three years' filed accounts for the property management and management company information. Delays are usually caused by the time needed by the seller's conveyancer to gather this paperwork.
It could take several weeks to collect this information if it is difficult to contact the agent responsible for managing the property, so the solicitor should commence this before a buyer has even been found.

The US is starting 2019 with unprecedented threat levels in cybersecurity. Some argue that the government shutdown is not helping to reduce that. It is therefore that the 2019 Archimedes Medical Device Security 101 Conference held in Orlando Florida will take place under a completely different set of circumstances. With a plethora of reasons for increased threat levels, as discussed below, the medical industry is undoubtedly one of the most critical and sensitive industries to pay attention to.
It is well-known that medical devices can easily be hacked in an interconnected world, whether from actors abroad or locally in the US. This is significant not just because of personal data – but due to the very fact that it can lead to the loss of life. Recently, in an industry briefing, Christian Espinosa, the CEO of Alpine Security, stated the following: “For various reasons, not limited to the shutdown, the US government may operate at unpredictable levels this year. This is yet another reason why cybersecurity for private healthcare providers is now a key priority”. Alpine Security is also a significant sponsor of the annual Archimedes Medical Device Security conference, alongside large corporations like PWC. Sponsors seek to raise awareness and reassure stakeholders that good countermeasures can be adopted.
Through a variety of actions, ranging from budget approvals to cybersecurity training, system engineering, and penetration testing, multiple stakeholders are acting to tackle cybersecurity issues in medicine. These include Chief information security officers, Directors of product engineering, System engineers, VPs of global product security, IT security managers, Physicians, Chairs of medical device security standards bodies, Security researchers – and Front-line engineers from clinical facilities. Suddenly, the tendency is for cybersecurity become one of the highest paid jobs in America, as the industry commits the necessary resources.
To consider “what could go wrong” is a common question. IBM recently asserted that on average, a data breach costs $3.86 million, given that the average value per record is $148. Yet not everything is measured in monetary terms: there are issues of national security at stake, key infrastructure such as the power grid – and then, sensitive industries such as medical and self-driving cars, where death is a very real risk.
The increased likelihood of cybersecurity problems occurring is the real issue at stake. Whereas previously, external actors may have simply looked to gain access to information: such as patents, technology transfer, and data that could be used for the purpose of cyberextortion, we now face a different landscape. The threat levels really evolved to the point where malicious actors may have the intention to inflict damage to critical infrastructure, loss of life – and indeed, the chaos that could damage the reputation of other countries, especially the US. Why? Because countries who are affected by trade wars and sanctions, realize an economic detriment – and are looking for ways to retaliate. Such countries may be unlikely to differentiate between government and corporate IT infrastructure, as they see corporations as a source of revenue for governments.
A good indication that the medical industry is taking cybersecurity seriously, is the participating medical organizations. For example, notable key speakers will include Dr. Christian Dameff, Emergency Medicine Physician and Researcher at UCSD, Dr. Suraj Kapa who is a Cardiologist at Mayo Clinic, Dr. Seth Carmody, the Cybersecurity Program Manager at the FDA, and Colin Morgan, Director of Product Security at Johnson & Johnson.
Whether or not governments around the world increase trade tensions, we live in an environment where too many actors can be underhanded, for too many reasons. Industries are not at the late stages of this phenomenon, but rather at the beginning. Organizations that have the best interests of their patients at heart, will no doubt need to demonstrate leadership in the area of cybersecurity.

Why aren't we seeing any developments on Washington's ESSA plan?
Another ESSA deadline came and went like a thief in the night. Did you notice?
In case you missed it — which you probably did, because nobody’s really been talking about it — Congress revamped No Child Left Behind and renamed it the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) in 2015. This new law changes a few things, but one of the most significant is that it hands over to states more control of their education systems.
One of the first steps in transitioning to ESSA is for states to submit accountability plans, essentially telling the feds how they plan to monitor themselves and hold themselves accountable within this new framework.
So, for the past year or so, states have been working on these plans, which will establish standards and accountability measures for things like upholding civil rights and serving traditionally neglected demographics.
Monday, April 3, was the first deadline to submit plans to the federal government. States were also given the option submit plans to their own governors on Monday, have them reviewed for 30 days, and then submit to the federal government by May 3. Colorado is doing that. In fact, nine states plus Washington D.C. submitted Monday, and more have announced plans to meet the April deadlne.
Here in Washington State, though, all is eerily quiet. Why aren't we seeing any developments on Washington's ESSA plan? Why is nobody -- aside from Chris Reykdal, who mentioned it once in a bizarre, obscure op-ed in the Eatonville Dispatch -- talking about it?
As I've said, it's hard to feel optimistic that Washington State, with its atrocious opportunity gaps and record of disproportionate discipline, will submit a plan to actually hold our schools accountable to standards they've never met. In fact, without vigilant public oversight, it's hard to see how our schools don't get worse through this process, which I had thought, given the current state of affairs, was inconceivable.
This whole ESSA process is supposed to include perpetual public input and feedback. Washington State has been utterly silent throughout this process. In fact, the state seems be intentionally minimizing public scrutiny — makes me all the more concerned about where we're headed.

DING provides a safer riding experience at night, with exceptional forward beam illumination and additional downward beam illumination: Innovation and precision within the one light. Be sighted better by all other road users with DING. Light up your path ahead and the terrain below and to the sides of your ride at the same time. The two beams work together, providing a vastly improved light offering than other premium bike lights. Be safe and be seen, with DING.
Bespoke optic design provides DING with a balanced proportion of beam width and distance to safely illuminate you and the path far ahead. The secondary downward optic design spreads out an additional 200 lumens of light into a clean rectangle non-glare pattern 3m wide by 1.5m deep, providing you with your very own light shield. Our patented bike light is a world first and we are proud to bring it to market, from Adelaide,South Australia. Recent winner in the Good Design Awards 2017.
To truly redesign the bike light, we had to truly understand cyclist wants and needs and their riding safety. We listened and researched, developed and tested and developed some more. Every improvement came through iteration and many riders feedback. Prototype followed prototype: 35 in all. With over 300 hours of road testing, 3,500 hours of design time, DING has come a long way. We started with the problem and then found a better way for riding safer.
DING FL1 was an idea born from the founder having too many close calls with motorists. The idea of making a light that improved visibility from all angles for the rider was the key driver. It is not a matter of having more light (lumens) is what you do with its that matters. Having two separate light zones within the one light that did different things made perfect sense, and that was the DING! moment.
Developed in Adelaide, South Australia, DING was raised in a town that loves cycling, we have the weather, some great cycle paths and beach trails, plus the international “Tour Down Under”, but like everywhere else in the world we have some motorists who don’t give a hoot about cyclists or their safety. It is the perfect place to develop the DING idea into a working product, so we did just that.
Thinking outside of the box has its problems, especially if it has not been done before. The development path to have two different light zones within one light took some working out, but we never gave up. With prototypes given to friends to test and provide feedback we were happy we were onto something good. In 2015 we launched on Kickstarter, raising over 100k in just 4 weeks.
Developed by riders for riders, sounds great, but yes we are riders and we shared DING FL1 with lots of them to better understand what is good and what to change before going to market. We think we got it about right, a light that is great around traffic but also has some punch for distance and very dark paths. With nine modes to choose from, we have all conditions covered.
So far we have shipped DING around the world to over 48 countries. From Nigeria to Hawaii and from Germany to Japan: DING has become global. It just goes to show that riders all around the world want to feel safer on their bikes. Customer feedback like “Wow the quality is fantastic to “Thank you for making me feel safer on my bike” is making us very happy at DING HQ.
It is great to pick up innovation awards and it makes all the hard work worth it. We are only a small business and our passion is all about making premium products that bring happiness to the users. Watch out in our blog section, as we have some exciting news to unveil on receiving some international acknowledgments from around the globe.
WHY IS DING SAFER THEN OTHER BIKE LIGHTS?
DING FL1 will help you stand out from all directions. As with most bike lights they fit onto the handlebars, we also have pro mount attachment in the kit for mounting DING directly under your bike computer mount.
The innovation of the DING downward beam on the ground is telling motorists you are there, even at a considerable distance, from all angles. DING FL1 also alerts motorists to your susceptibility on the road. It's a pleasant experience to have this wide ground flood of light around you, when it is off you do miss it!
Studies have shown that a flashing light is the most noticeable, which is why we have 4 to choose from (Downward beam does not flash, only forward beam). With the downward beam on and the forward light flashing, there is no safer light then DING to use in busy traffic.
Cyclists using DING Lights tell us that drivers pass them more considerately, giving them more space on the road. They notice overtaking cars leave more room and turning cars stopping and letting them go by.
When riding through traffic there is nothing worse than a bike rider having a VERY BRIGHT DAZZLING LIGHT,with poor optics, thinking they are more safe and easier to see. When in fact you end up blinding oncoming traffic and stop cyclist behind you from being seen. It is also hard for other road users to judge your speed and distance, amongst the dazzle.
The DING forward beam can go up to just over 6oo lumens, we have designed within the forward beam a top side beam reduction fade off, to help reduce forward glare and send more light downwards towards the road. We only suggest using the front beam high modes in dark riding paths or on unlit streets.
The DING difference can be summed up like this. When turning these expensive bright lights down to a low-light output to ride through traffic, it’s on par with a $25 cheap blinker light. The DING point of difference is clearly seen when the DING forward beam is on low or forward flashing mode and downward beam is on. You really stands out, marking out your space like no other light on the market can. The rectangle light shield not only gives you better visual to all road users around you, you will feel more confident on your ride, and will be able to see all the road obstacles much more clearly.
This ‘usual field of view’ of drivers is crucial for bike riders to consider. In the hectic traffic environment—without even considering in-car distractions—drivers frequently have a brief opportunity to scan the situation. If your lights are not in the space that a driver is scanning, looking for other vehicles, you’re putting yourself in danger of not being seen.
If you've ever ridden in pitch black, you’ll know how little traditional lights do to keep you visible from all angles. DING is a newcomer to the cycling industry, but its fresh approach to cycle lighting has the potential to set a new benchmark for night time cycle safety.
The dual light facing forward and downward will give cyclists a better visual of their routes, as well as allow them to be more noticeable to drivers and other motorists on the streets, it’s a great innovation for safer cycling.
As quirky as the name might be the DING simple design passes off as an ordinary headlight without giving any hint of its capability to project two beams in different directions. The DING only reveal its true colours or lights if we put in the cycling context when it is switched on.
This looks fabulous what a great way for Motorist to better see cyclists.

Abnormal Liver Test, am intensely scared.
I had a blood test for a different purpose which came back fine. I spoke to the receptionist and I was told all my test results were fine, i even went to pick up a copy of the test ( am guessing they left out the liver result) all were fine but my cholesterol level is a tiny bit high, and have started working on lowering it.
Few days after I picked the result I got a letter from the GP requesting for a retest in two months time, i didn't understand why. I manage to speak to the GP over the phone and ask him why i need a retest - He said my liver test was a bit abnormal, that my liver is holding more fat than it should. He said he's looking for Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C that he requested for the test in 2 months because the liver may have heal itself by then. He added if the repeat test comes back abnormal too i will be sent for a scan.
Since I got this news i have been feeling extremely down, i can't function properly. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THIS COULD BE!!!
I just wanted to knock this reply out in case it's reassuring to you.
There are all sorts of reasons for abnormal liver test results - many many reasons, and often they resolve themselves after a short period of time.
At this stage, if there was something serious up you might see some results indicating more serious disruption of liver function - doesn't sound like that's the case.
The chances are that the liver results that were elevated were liver enzymes. These enzymes are produced when the liver is inflammed. The liver can become inflammed for a number of reasons - have a few drinks for example and then take a liver test - but the liver is extremely good at regenerating cells and repairing itself - did you know you can cut half off and it will grow back!! True!. Also you can live normally with only 20% or so of your liver functioning. If however the inflammation continues unabated - from whatever cause - the damage leads to progressive scarring of the liver tissue and if it continues long enough cirrhosis, which is a fully scarred liver which can't recover (although even then it's possible to function quite well). In your mind you should separate the inflammation of the liver from the level of scarring. You may have inflammation but very little scarring.
So your doctor is right to check in case there is anything that has caused inflammation. So he can stop it. Fat can do this too so the best thing you can do now is to get as healthy as possible - you'll have to do this in any case so best to start now. If the cause of the inflammation can be found and dealt with then prospects are good as the liver keeps repairing itself and scarring short of full-on (and not early) cirrhosis can reverse.
Of course its entirely possible that this is a small episode and that the results will improve of their own accord. This happens all the time and is likely what your doctor is expecting.
So right now I'd say relax and focus on losing weight and being healthy, you don't have any reason to panic based on what you've said.
Hope that helps. Do keep checking back in here - it's a very helpful forum.
Thanks for your reply. Your words are very encouraging.
One of the reasons why i am deeply concerned is that I have not been exposed to possible hepatitis recently and the last time i went out of the UK was 7 months ago - even if i got a viral infection then it should have resolve by now since it hasn't it may mean only one thing - potential serious liver problem.
Honestly though am leaning towards congenital fatty liver.
Thanks - happy to help.
It's a huge jump from having hepatitis to saying serious liver problem.
The word hepatitis means inflammation of the liver - from any cause -including various viruses called Hepatitis which give you hepatitis. If hepatitis (inflammation) goes on long enough it will cause fibrosis (scarring). If fibrosis continues long enough and enough of the liver is scarred the extensive scarring is called cirrhosis.
Your body is a working system, your liver is a working system. A blood test is a snapshot. So at any given time - as I mentioned say for example after a few drinks - there may be inflammation of liver cells which will be reflected in higher levels of liver enzymes in the blood. This is why any single snapshot - unless the levels are extremely high indicating something acute (for example an overdose of drugs) - is not indicative of very much at all. You have to look and retest to see if there is a pattern..Also you could quite easily have a mild infection that is being dealt with by your body without noticing anything.
There is much much much more chance that a single blood test showing increased liver enzymes is not the result of anything serious.
Also you really do have to separate hepatitis (inflammation) from the damage to the liver. As soon as the inflammation is stopped the liver will start to repair itself- and regenerate cells. As I mentioned earlier you can grow back half a liver in a few weeks.
In the absence of any indication that the liver is failing to function properly I can't see how you have any reason to suspect anything serious. Even if the next results are elevated it may not indicate anything untoward - bantam12's reply was indicative of the possibilities.
If you suspect fatty liver you should of course not wait to address that and sort out weight and diet as soon as you can.
To the best of your knowledge is Hep B and Hep C curable?
Well I'm sure there are people here with much better understanding of both Hep B and Hep C than me but to the best of my knowledge Hep B is usually dealt with by the immune system. If not there are effective medications to control viral load. Hep C can be eliminated.
Jjjo I'm guessing your GP is running tests for Hep C and Hep C so he can rule them out as a possible cause of the elevated enzymes. Not because he necessarily thinks you have them, but he would be failing in his duty of care if he didnt check. Its quite usual now for GPs to check for HIV too, even if your lifestyle suggests this as impossible! As Mister X says there are so many things that can cause liver damage and elevated enzymes that if a patient cant pinpoint themselves what might be the cause (obvious ones being a long history of drinking alcohol or perhaps a long history of intravenous drug use) then the GP will start at the top of a list of possible causes and work their way down eliminating them by blood tests. Unless you yourself can think of some way you might have become infected with a blood borne virus, I would be focussing more on the likelyhood that your weight has been a contributing factor and, being something you can do lots about without needing a doctor or medication, start rethinking your nutrition and find a nutrition plan/diet plan that suits you and will enable you to lose weight.
Thanks for your reply Bolly. Well have had the Hep C and B done today. The result will be out in 3 days.
There isn't always an obvious cause for elevated liver results, mine have been up and down for 6+ years and despite further tests including s biopsy no cause has been found.
Are you taking any medications ? as some can cause enzymes to go up.
I'm not on any medication but few days or a week to the test i took iboprufen, this could possibly be my first time of taking it ever.
Just that I have too many things going on in my life now and dealing with illness is not one thing am looking forward to, this is possibly why am very worried. I have seen researching liver disease non-stop since when I got the later 4 days ago.
Do you know why your enzymes has been going up and down yet or you are yet to know. And are you on any medication?
You need to stop researching ! and worrying ! if your doctor thought it was anything urgent and worrying you would be booked in now for scans and further tests, the fact that he has requested bloods in 2 months means he isn't worried you have something that needs immediate attention.
Yes I'm on meds for ulcerative colitis but stopping them for 4 weeks didn't improve results, my Gastro Consultant is not worried and I'm ok with that although after so many years it would be interesting to find out why but I may never know.
Thanks for your response. Reading your last message gave me the last relieve that I needed.
Just a quick question, over the years do you have any liver disease symptoms?
I always thought paracetamol was bad for the liver. Turns out ibuprofen is just as bad, if not worse. Also elevated liver function tests can indicate gallstones! I'm having my gallbladder out 2 weeks today. Had high readings of LFT for years. Was told it was due to alcohol but I don't drink much anymore so never really believed that. Anyway I have mild fibrosis which I have to live with, but managed to clear the fatty liver up. But ultrasound showed 5 large gallstones. When you diet and alter your nutrition by training and weight loss etc this can lead to gallstones so always take your time and lose weight sensibly and slowly. The only way to lose weight is reduce calories below what you require daily. It doesn't mean eat lettuce for every meal. You could eat 1500 cal's of donuts a day and lose weight. As long as you burn 2000cals a day. Anyway eat healthy for next couple months. Do some light weight training. Don't bother running, that's not how the body loses weight. Lift some weights. Work the muscles to burn fat efficiently. Even 20mins 3x a week.
Take the supplement N-Acetyl Cysteine. It's an amino acid and 600-1200 a day is good. Holland and Barrett stock it.
Most of all, unless you're galling asleep tired all day long, have gone yellow and have pale stools, I'd not worry.
Good luck and don't hesitate to ask questions on here. There are a lot of knowledgeable folk.
My mind is at rest a bit now, but then I am still slightly worried because the GP said he's looking for Hep B or C. When these two diseases are suspected that means is the ALT that is elevated.
Am thinking of going to A & E if they can give me an ultrasound but i highly doubt it.
Even if all the test comes back clean, am considering a Hep B vaccine.
Rather than wait two months going out of your mind with worry, would a repeat GP visit not be advisable? Go in and ask exactly what doctor thinks is going on. If he's testing for Hep B & C I wouldn't have thought you'd be left two months with no answers since both are contagious and special precautions need to be put in place to prevent cross contamination. I am not an expert on this testing but would expect doctor would have a positive/negative result without a long wait.
As others have said 'hepatitis' is a cover all name for liver inflammation so you can have that without one of the viruses. Inflammation of the liver can come and go (due to a range of causes) it's when this continues longer term that damage can occur.
Fatty liver is a condition in it's own right and can occur in super slim people as well as those who perhaps tip the scales a little more.
Fatty liver can be reversed with appropriate diet, exercise and removing any toxins. You might find your liver numbers do go down if you begin looking after yourself a little.
I would not wait two months without answers, give your doctors a ring and try and make a follow up appointment, the stress will start to niggle you and you'll not get on without life without answers. He should have answers to the Hep B/Hep C testing. Follow this up because as I say the stress isn't good to live with either.
You are very right, i will give them a ring tomorrow. Hopefully he will agree to a Hep B and C test on it own just to rule out the possibility of the virus. I can't afford to pass it on to my family (partner and son).
I have been to the GP today. He wanted me to do a Hep B and C test, and a full blood count in two months. After stresses my concerns about the Hep test, he said I can go ahead and do it if it will put my mind at rest. So I have gone for the Hep test, result will be available in 3 days. Fingers crossed!!
Well I'm not Captain M but I'd say you're panicking - which is totally understandable but won't really help you much.
ALT is not a marker unique to the Hepatitis viruses (there are a few - not just B&C). It is a possible marker of liver inflammation generally. It's really simplistic to say ALT not in range = some serious liver problem. It doesn't work like that - this stuff is complicated and it reads as if you're scaring yourself by reading horror stories on Google.
For example I may come here to discuss my ALT level but people here who have been diagnosed with serious illnesses know how that fits in with all the other data and measurements that were part of my diagnosis and are part of my condition.
It may be that you know more than you've said here but based on what you've said here but right now - even assuming your ALT is out of normal range - all the answers you've received earlier still apply, that you have to review the ALT level in conjunction with other levels over a period of time, look at other markers of liver function and then come to a view as to what's causing it if it doesn't resolve of its own accord and treat it appropriately.
You going off to the Emergency dept when it's not an emergency isn't going to help you or your doctor - even assuming they agree to give you one - which based on what you've said would be inappropriate.
Sorry if I'm sounding a bit firm. I don't mean to be, but the liver performs 500 functions and impacts your system in a multitude of ways. As far as organs go its the Formula 1 car. You don't want you doctor to be flailing around just bashing things with a hammer in the hope that the engine will stop sputtering. You need him to take a calm look at the situation and do the appropriate things in the right order and in the right time. Right now what he needs to do is to wait and review your results in a couple of months. Checking for Hep viruses is a perfectly sensible part of that process at the appropriate time.
I'll say again, the liver is a working system. In the course of doing its job properly it some of the cells within it sometimes becomes inflamed. That's part of the design. You have to see if the levels are persistent or acute - and more importantly - look at those in conjunction with other levels and other data to get a picture of what's going on over a period of time.
A and E??????? A is for accidents. E is for emergency.
Hi CaptM, I have to take meds for fibromyalgia but even when most were stopped when I was in hospital and my enzymes really high, they still gave me Tramadol and paracetamol. How can I find out which meds are harder on the liver than others?
I had elevated ggt (410) had elevated alt and ast. I have mild fibrosis. F1-f2. No fatty liver. I spent 950 on blood tests and all came back clear. hep a b hiv etc strangely my high results were from blood samples taken after a night in a hotel both times, large meals +dessert, and a large cooked breakfast, stuffed my face basically as I was told it wouldn't make any difference to the results. (No alcohol involved at all) results were high. Turns out the gallstones can give high results. Have you been checked for gallstones? 20% of the UK population can he expected to have gallstones and these will give you high LFT results. Before you start to panic or go running to a&e (a&e is for people in emergencies who are basically dying and you aren't,) let a&e alone and go revisit your gp, explain your concerns and ask for referral for an ultrasound scan on liver and gallbladder. Worst case it'll cost you £100 but it may put your mind at risk. Whatever you do, don't start googling things. Especially if you're a worrier, which is how you're coming across. Sorry for saying it. If you aren't in pain then no a&e. If you feel OK and don't have the obvious liver problem's and symptoms then speak to gp first and request a quicker service to put your mind at rest. Sorry for being blunt.
When I first complained of pain in my liver area my Dr. tested for everything right off the bat. My liver was also enlarged and could even be felt from a physical exam although I wasn't told that until I had seen the liver specialist and he said that it also showed up on my ultrasound too, which the GP's office had told me was normal. Anyway, they tested LFTs, Hep A, B, &C virus's (I had been vaccinated for Hep A&B years ago) and autoimmune antibodies and the results were flagged for mildly elevated ALP and AMA antibodies. A biopsy later, which turned out not to be an autoimmune disease but a fatty liver Dx., which is not great , but is usually considered benign and reversible. Sometimes Drs have a knack for creating unnecessary fear and I'm surprised he would just single out Hep's testing to you on the phone. Hes probably going to check a lot of things and see what comes up if anything. Also, if I were you, I would get copies of any testing that is done so that you know exactly what was done and if anything was abnormal. Please don't worry yourself too much and good luck with your tests! Please let us know how they turn out!
Thanks for your words. I got the result of other test but the liver wasn't released to me for reasons best known to the GP. I also want to ask you that how are you dealing with fatty liver. how has it affect your living, if you don't mind me asking.
I am just accumilating this info to prepare myself for whatever the situation i end up in because am certainly sure something is wrong. If it's not why did i have abnormal test.
How are you doing now? Has your liver decreased in size?
The pain bothers me most I guess and I'm often fatigued too even when I get a good nights sleep, but I also have untreated hypothyroid Hashi's, which I think has played a role in the fatty liver too. And, to be honest I'm overweight and need to lose weight but haven't lost a pound yet. I could be doing better with that and work harder on my diet. To be honest even though autimmune liver disease (PBC) wasn't found its theres a chance that I could still have it or develop it in the future despite the negative biopsy and that scares me more than the fatty liver. But, I've had fluctuating liver enzymes for a few months now, I wouldn't put too much stock in one report unless it was really high. Do you have any pain or fatigue?
I don't have fatigue. Honestly thought it baffles me how Drs don't take people's complain seriously, they are very dismissal.
Sometime they need to listen to the patient and act appropriately rather listen to their medical books or what they think they know. My Dr was getting irritated already over the phone when I was asking him questions.
How old are you jean and what are some the numbers of your flunctuating ALT.
I don't know if i added this but my Dr mentioned that my liver is holding fat more than it should - I guess he arrive to that conclusion because of my result...And am not also sure why he refuse to share the result with me but he shared others.
Just for update, I got hold of my liver test result today. The ALT is 60 u/l (0 - 41) "High"
and the Bilirubin level is 41 umol/l (0 -20) "High"
These are the only concern the Dr have. I am suspecting Gilbert Syndrome for the high Bilirubin as the white part of my eye has forever been slightly yellowish.
And for the high ALT I am suspecting the ibuprofen and co-codamol that I used recently. My research reveal that ALT will usually be around 500 for Hep C or B or ALT could be normal in rare cases even with the presence of Hep B and C. Though some part of me is ruling out Hep B and C.
Hi Jjj, i live in france and have had same tests here, even bad a full day in hosp for mri, and 2 blood tests a.m and p.m. I also had Hypothyroid diagnosed in UK in 2000. Then my doc here, (I was overweight also then, said I was borderline Diabetic Type 2, put me on Metformin! That didnt agree with me and poss the Thyroxin. Metformin affected my spleen, it became swollen, which must have distorted or or interfered with blood cell production. I was sent to Haemotologist who from next Thyroid blood test, said I had blood disorder, see Mr X's 1st reply. I also had a bone marrow biopsy. Still no def diagnosis, but could be myleodysplasictic syndrome!
Several months later, after a few personal disasters here, a move and new doctor and specialists here they took up the investigations, hence day in hosp. everything we eat or take ends up going through the liver and the bloodstream to wherever! The spleen, I still dont know state of but as not mentioned at all now, I dont spend time thinking about, but was told I had cirrhosis, not caused by the 2 usual reasons we think of! But yes had portal hypertension? The other things affecting my body were a Brain haemorrhage and aneurysm, no known cause, but had neural and some effects physical caused by BI! at no time have I been physically ill during all this.
Purely by a chance remark from someone, I started looking up about the thyroid, many of the blood tests can be thyroid or liver related, as I recognise the name of tests from there and now today, here. However, asking for T3 and T4 to be added to test earlier this year TSH only is normal here and in UK., it transpires I have an autoimmune disease. why. Because all blood passes through the liver and can carry any toxins left there via the blood stream to whichever organ. I started off asking my current doctor for help with BI effects, I had been promised rehabilitation by 1st Hospital after it, but never received any help or support. However this doctor, decided I was anxious or depressed, so started the different meds for something I wasn't, frustrated yes at so m any tests and doctors me nothing useful, only what it wasn't, not what is was or is.
Prognosis or diagnosis, or better still, keep on this site and ask your questions here, something I should have started doing 15 months ago! autoimmunehypothyroiditis for me means, Hashimotos disease. I lost a lot of weight last year, no Diabetes, neural effects of a BI plus cirrhosis, so doubt or hope that no others have a series of conditions that seem to be linked.
mostly since Jan 2014' MRI,s quarterly and blood tests, another bone marrow biopsy, have also had ecg, have had an endoscopy, was put on Propranolol, not good news with Thyroxin. I have Vitiligo, then had an ear infection and bronchitis last Autum, so i decided to stop stressing about it all, to stop taking all meds given for each separate condition at same time.
Now I year on, The best news is I still feel well, have a strong heart physically, so whether I am well or not well, remains to be seen. I am probably pretty unique in all these one after another in a short space of time, all here in France, except initial hypothyroid diagnosis in Uk.
Your story make me sound like a spoilt brat, you are definitely strong. The amount of support I have receive on here is overwhelming. I am very much grateful. I will surely keep everyone posted of my journey.
No way Jj, we are all strong and brave just for being here looking for the right answers, putting own stories into personal contexts, that doesnt make any one person braver or stronger than the next, we are all s**t scared at times, me included and somehow think now perhaps I'm lucky to be on my own,No one to consider but myself , and friends here on HU where we support each other.
Yes do let us know how you get on! bon Chance! i.e Good Luck!
It may turn out not to be your liver at all. ALT can come from red cell break down. The red cells that are broken release hemoglobin which is broken down into bilirubin.
If you have something causing your red cells to break down faster it can cause an elevated ALT and bilirubin.
Gilbert's syndrome would not typically cause an elevation in ALT. Rather it is an isolated minor elevation of the bilirubin.
I would recommend having your hemoglobin and hematocrit tested to see if they are low.
Also, my liver book says that an elevated bilirubin is associated with worsening liver disease or with bile duct blockage (cholestasis) but with the bile duct it is ALP enzyme that is usually elevated. Possible causes lists various liver diseases, Gilbert's included, but also Hemolysis- Red Blood cell (RBC) destruction.
In answer to your previous question my ALT has only been elevated twice which unlike AST, ALT is almost always liver, I believe, except for hemolysis if my understanding is correct.. The first time in Aug of last year is when all 3 liver enzymes were elevated ALP "120" with 37-107 range, ALT "61" with 0-55 range, AST "47" with 15-46 U/L range were elevated and then in July my ALP "132", ALT "148", AST "85" same ranges. A couple of ALP isolated elevations in March of last year "114" and of Oct last year of "121" and in between all was normal. I hope he sends you for an Ultrasound that may give a better idea of what's going on, if not then maybe a biopsy if nothing else is found. Best of Luck!
Your bilirubin and ALT were up too? And how long apart were your blood test. Am 30, how old are you?
We are in the same box Marieb07. Do/did you have Cirrhosis symptoms? I currently do not have any.
Just last week Thursday when I received the letter asking for a retest.
Honestly Marieb07, it looks like only very few people doesn't have liver issue just that must are not aware of their situation.
The GP also had a look at my stomach and he said it looks okay, i dont believe her to be honest.
Sorry to ask but just out of curiosity - what are you expecting the issue with your stomach to be?
I wasn't expecting anything just that going by what Jean43 said the GP had told her that her stomach was normal but then turn out to be a lie according to the test by the specialist. This got me thinking that my GP too may have just said mine is normal too so as to not raise any alarm or speculate anything!
Plus she couldn't even look me in the face to say what she said after the inspection "That looks normal"
I couldn't find the bit where Jean 43 wrote that her GP said her stomach was normal - perhaps I'm missing it. If you have a sec and could point me to it I'd be very grateful.
I'm sorry you don't trust your doctor not to lie to you. That must be awful. Have you thought of switching?
Hope you don't mind me interjecting here, but I believe she's referring to my first response when I was mentioning the GP's exam where they palpate the liver. I wasn't informed then or even after the US that my liver was enlarged and was told that the US was normal. I didn't find out until after seeing the specialist when he was doing his exam that he could feel it was enlarged and that it had also showed up on the scan. I hope I didn't cloud her judgement of her GP that had been just one of my experiences with my GP and this wasn't the first time. I just like to gather my reports and look at them myself before I go back to the Drs. so I know exactly what questions to ask. Im a little suspicious of him now and I often think what is he not telling me, even though, I think he's a good Dr. I'm assuming and hopefully she'll correct me if Ive got it all wrong, but I figured Jjjo1 picked up on something that made her feel that maybe her GP was withholding something.
With 5 kids not surprised youre fatigued! Are You eating properly , are you self medicating any pills, if no to 1st and yes to 2 nd, could be a slight accumulation of toxins inliver, its pretty quick to react to nasties, via bloodflow, according to some research ive done - no im not a medic, just another patient here with problems, but one who has the time to look for some answers. I found many of mine, I think & hope, but it doesnt mean they apply to you or anyone else. I just ask the questions to see if answers back up any of my theories and to give support if i can. It helps to know someone is listening doesn't it?
Wow this thread is attracting interest. Going back to your first post JJ, apart from not revealing what took you to the GP in the first place, you did reveal you were 2 St overweight. And that the GP, via an external examination, a medical history and a few blood tests made an initial diagnosis of "fatty liver". Which is a condition that fits with your weight. As all good doctors should, your GP is continuing with other tests to rule out other liver conditions, such as viral hepatitis. However, in my view, at this point fatty liver, or NAFLD is the diagnosis you have and the easiest one you personally, without medication or further tests, can start to self treat. By losing weight.
Stop giving yourself more stress and anxiety googling your symptoms - whatever they are. The only tests you say are elevated are ALT (this is only minimally elevated, people with severe inflammation have results in the 1,000s) and bilirubin which can go up if you are a tad dehydrated when the test is done. Running the same tests a week later will reveal no or little change and be a waste of money and time. Let the GP do their job which is leave a decent gap and then run them again to see if they were a "blip". If in 2 months you have lost weight, trust me, I will put a bet on the results will be better. As I said before,unless you can pinpoint a moment when you know you were at risk of Hep C or Hep B contamination/infection, stop stressing about this. The GP is ruling it out not implying you have it. They are quick relatively cheap tests to run.
Stop researching Gilberts, cirrhosis, viral hep etc and start researching a sensible diet for NAFLD and take it from there.
I got the call today from the GP that I tested positive to Hep B. He however wants a retest just to rule out false positive. Am very sad!!
That's awful news, you must be feeling very down right now.
If it's any help, the Hep B virus is often effectively dealt with by the immune system - so most people escape lasting damage. The difference is between astute and chronic hepatitis.
If it's chronic then there are drugs which can reduce the viral load sufficiently so that any liver damage isn't so much that the liver can't keep up with repairing it. It used to be much worse.
I'll keep everything crossed for you - hopefully it is just a false positive.
Here is some information from the NHS in case.
I have just been diagnosed with a fatty liver on the back end of an ultrasound looking at my gallbladder. They found that my liver was fatty and I needed blood work done. Got the results today and they said that it was abnormal but expected. Ever since I found out that I had a fatty liver I have been doing everything in my power to correct it. I've made sure that I eat salad every day with 1 avocado. Then I learned about the Keto diet and all the benefits and after 5 months I have lost nearly 4 stone (55 lbs) and I have never felt better. Now all I want is for them to test me again to see if I have corrected it a little to see if I'm going in the right direction. Also, I found out that you don't need to be overweight to have a fatty liver either.

Every spring, 1.5 million people visit DC in hopes of seeing the cherry blossoms. And the cherry blossoms are a sight to see! The pink and white blossoms of the cherry trees look stunning around the Tidal Basin and the effect of the petals shedding into the wind creates an enchanting atmosphere.
The 3,000 cherry blossom trees were a gift to Washington DC from Mayor Yukio Ozaki of Tokyo, given in 1912. The gift and annual Cherry Blossom celebration are meant to honor the friendship between the United States and Japan. You can read more about this on the Cherry Blossom Festival website.
Seeing the cherry blossoms requires bit of luck! The blossoms are only on the trees for one to two weeks a year, they come out when the weather is right, and, due to their fragility, can disappear overnight if gets too cold or rainy.
Cherry blossom season has started as early as March 15 and as late as April 18, making it difficult to plan too far in advance.
One day can make a huge difference in the size and color of the blossoms. Predictions for peak bloom constantly change, so check the National Park Service Bloom Watch website for the latest information and allow some flexibility in your schedule. Museums and the monuments will be open everyday (unless there is a government shutdown), but the blossoms will not!
The monuments around the Tidal Basin are open 24 hours a day, so feel free to wander around the trees in the evening and after dark. Personally, I think this is the best time to take in the monuments - but not a great time to take pictures of the trees.
Since so many people come to town during cherry blossom season, you may need to book accomodations well in advance to ensure that you have a place to stay. Expect to find that the price is higher than usual, but staying near the end of a Metro line could save you a couple dollars. I’d recommend staying at a hotel near an Orange or Blue Metro line station, as that line will take you to the Smithsonian Metro stop - the closest one to the Cherry Blossoms.
To avoid the crowds, visit the blossoms earlier in the day or, if in bloom, during the week. Weekend afternoons are the busiest times.
Avoid driving to the Cherry Blossoms - parking nearby will be difficult to find.
If you’re tired of walking, the Circulator bus has lots of stops around the Tidal Basin and National Mall, comes by about every 10-15 minutes, and only costs $1 to ride. If you use a Metro Smartrip card to pay for your bus fare, you can get off and on the Circulator Bus for two hours without being charged again.
Don’t let the beautiful magnolia trees fool you - they are not cherry blossoms. Every year, hundreds of photos of the magnolias down on the Mall tagged as cherry blossoms. They are, in fact, a different tree! To add to the confusion, it is likely that magnolias pink and white blossoms will also be out. I definitely recommend visiting the Haupt Garden out back of the Smithsonian Castle to both take in this oasis in the city, snap a few shots of the historic building next to these impostor trees.
And finally, large protests have become a frequent occurrence in DC. These events sometimes close Metro stations, buildings, and roads. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a resource that lists these things. Check the news or ask a local to see if anything is going on. Feel free to participate in or avoid these gatherings!
Thanks for reading as always! Have you been to the Cherry Blossoms in DC? Comment below about that or your favorite DC experience!

Taking time out from the Big Migration job to share this with you, and before you say anything *I Know* this is old news, but forgive me because I've been away from MySQL for 4 years, and just because you know this doesn't mean that there aren't other "late adopters" like me out there.
Over the past few weeks I've come across quite a few posts on the net from folks who wanted to use oracle style links between MySQL databases (I don't need to, I just spoted a theme). Researching the storage engines in Mysql 5 (we're upgrading as well as migrating) it seems there is now an answer in the form of the Federated storage engine.
The article also provided me an answer for the perennial problem of needing several instances of MySQL in dev and test, often for exactly the task currently at hand, migrating from one version to another, that answer is the mysql sandbox. Neat. Its a shame that I've already set up my dev environment, I'd like to play with that.
Sam, who sits opposite me at work, tells me that the latest firmware update for the PS3 was bricking boxes yesterday until they recalled it. Her better half didn't manage to download it in time, lucky for them.
Apparently calls to Sony support (in the uk at least) were met with the response "we'll come and collect it".
I guess my nearest and dearest were actually saving me a headache when the didn't buy me one.

We often hear people ask when they should finally go and see a chiropractor. This question always confuses us because we want you to come in whenever you want! Obviously we need you to make an appointment first, but we would love to see you walk through our doors.
“But I’m not injured!” we hear.
“That doesn’t matter!” is always our response. You don’t have to be hurt or even in pain to come into a chiropractor. While most people do wait until something is physically bothering them, this is not a rule that chiropractors have. We will give anyone an adjustment, not just people who actively have back and neck pain. In fact, it has been shown that having adjustments and other regular chiropractic care can help keep you healthy even in the face of an injury because your body isn’t holding onto all the tension that you naturally accumulate. Think of it as preliminary treatment!
If you have been injured and are interested in looking into chiropractic care, ask your general doctor if you are cleared to have chiropractic treatment. It is always best to catch an injury quickly and chiropractic care is no different in this respect. It is much easier to help someone heal than to undo years of poor healing. If you are able to get to a chiropractor quickly after you are hurt, that is ideal. However, even that isn’t the only time to go.
If you have never been to a chiropractor before but have an old injury that still bugs you now and then, come on in. It is never too late to see if chiropractic care will help you. Granted, it may take a little longer to see any improvement on an older injury, but we still encourage you to try. After all, you never know if something will help you unless you try.
The bottom line is there has never been a better time for you to see a chiropractor than right now! Come on in regardless of injury or pain and you may just be amazed at how much better you feel. You may not have realized how much tension you were holding in your body until you feel it released. Let us help you realize just how great you can feel in your own body.

All thank you notes are important, but if I have to rank the notes you write, the ones to hostesses are the most important. I believe they are an essential tool for a successful direct sales business. Here are six reasons why you should always write a thank you note to your hostess.
1. It's hard to host a party.
A hostess risks rejection. You are trained to handle "no," but she isn't. She just wants to have a fun time and get some free stuff. She's going to go to the path of least resistance and invite the people she thinks will come, and it's hard when even they say "no." Write her a note regardless of how many people come.
2. It's time consuming to host a party.
You might be in and out of the party in an hour or so, but she isn't. You probably told her to personally invite people. That takes time. You probably told her to send reminders, and that takes time. If it's an in-person event, she had to clean her house, stuff her kids in a closet, make food, worry about being judged for what she served and clean up after she kicks out the guest who doesn't know when to leave. Send her a note to thank her for her time.
3. She unwillingly becomes a middleman.
I know you're not expecting her to do your job, and you probably prefer to do it yourself, but she is going to have friends who want to use her as a middleman. Maybe they couldn't come to the party, but they are curious about the product. Maybe they aren't on Facebook, but still want to see a catalog. Despite your best coaching, there are going to be customers who put her in the middle. Thank her for her service.
4. She is your partner for the event.
Some people aren't going to come to the event, but they still might order. You don't have access to them. If you want their orders, she is going to have to touch base with them. She might have to drop off a catalog, take the order over the phone and then get it to you, etc. Send her a note to thank her for her partnership.
4. She gave you access to her friends.
She is the gateway to a whole new group of customers, hostesses and recruits. She trusts you and likes your product enough to introduce her friends to you and to it. Your business is only going to grow if you get new customers. A handwritten note is the least you can do to thank her for the potential for growth.
5. She'll assume the right things about you.
Your hostess is at the top of your list for potential recruits and for future parties. She chose to host a party with you, but it doesn't mean that she is going to choose you again. If you end the party experience with a thank you note, it leaves a lasting impression. When she wants to host one again, you'll be top-of-mind. And if she decides to become a consultant, it will be reasonable for her to assume that you will be a caring, appreciative and supportive upline. Send her a note because you want to fulfill her expectations.
6. It's excellent customer service.
You can't control your hostess, the guests or the party results, but you can control your customer service. And if you have control over it, why wouldn't you want it to be excellent? Send her a note because you are known for your excellent customer service.

The Board stated that there was no evidence of a current diagnosis 4 for squamous cell carcinoma. R. at 12.
However, a careful review of the appellant’s VA medical records indicates that on October 16, 2003, the appellant underwent a biopsy of an “8mm erythematous papule mid upper back/neck area.” R. at 302-03. A November 25, 2003, medical record states: “[P]athology came back as [B]owen’s with incomplete margins.” R. at 296; see also R. at 287. Bowen’s Disease is a type of squamous cell carcinoma.

although he had hearing loss and tinnitus, these disabilities were not caused by his service.
hearing officer’s failure to do so was error.4 See Sizemore, Costantino, and Cuevas, all supra.
The Court must next consider whether the appellant was prejudiced by the Board’s errors. See 38 U.S.C. § 7261(b)(2); Shinseki v. Sanders, 129 S. Ct. 1696, 1704 (2009). In his brief, the Secretary argues that the notice letters provided to the appellant under section 5103(a) eliminate any potential prejudice that might have been caused by the Board member’s failure to explain the issues because they sufficiently explained the need for the appellant to submit medical evidence.
(remand unnecessary “[i]n the absence of demonstrated prejudice”); see also Mlechick v. Mansfield, 503 F.3d 1340, 1346 (Fed. Cir. 2007) (Court must review the record to take due account of the rule of prejudicial error).
purpose of § 3.103(c)(2) was fulfilled. See Thomas and Marcinak, both supra; see also Caluza v. Brown, 7 Vet.App. 498, 506 (1995), aff’d per curiam, 78 F.3d 604 (Fed. Cir. 1996) (service connection generally requires, inter alia, medical nexus).
against his claim. Congress or the Secretary might create such a duty, but as noted in our discussion above, they have not yet done so. Cf. Locklear, supra.
LANCE, Judge, concurring in part and dissenting in part: I believe that the majority does an excellent job in many respects in clarifying our previously disjointed caselaw on 38 C.F.R. § 3.103(c)(2) (2009). However, I think the opinion suffers from two serious problems.

issues. If the RO addressed multiple theories as to a claim, the Board would have to explain the issues related to each theory.
I believe that such a standard would be vastly easier for the Board to apply and for the Court to review. While there are certainly cases where the Board may ultimately spot an issue that was completely overlooked by the RO, the Court has recently held that the Secretary’s regulations prevent the Board from considering new legal theories in the first instance. Hickson v. Shinseki, 23 Vet.App.
394, 400-03 (2010). Thus, even if the Board later determines that the RO decision overlooked an issue, the claimant must receive notice of the issue and the opportunity to have it remanded to the RO. Id. Accordingly, even if a bright-line, Kent-style rule does not perfectly capture every issue, claimants are still protected from being blindsided by a Board decision that raises a new issue.
important that the Board member explain the need for favorable evidence in order for the claimant to have a realistic opportunity to prevail on the claim. See Moore v. Shinseki, 555 F.3d 1369, 1374-75 (Fed. Cir. 2009) (concluding that failure to obtain potentially favorable, circumstantial evidence was prejudicial even though the record contained copious direct evidence against the claim).
needed to do so. The fact that he did not submit such evidence earlier tends to suggest that is the case. In my view, there does not appear to be any explanation for creating the duty “to explain fully the issues” except to neutralize the inference that the failure to submit evidence was the product of ignorance. Under the totality of the circumstances in this case, it appears that Mr. Bryant’s failure to submit favorable medical evidence may be the product of ignorance and, therefore, he was potentially prejudiced by the violation of the duty directly targeted at avoiding such a situation.
explaining the issue. Accordingly, I would remand all of the appellant’s claims based upon the Court’s conclusion that the Board erred so that the appellant would have a meaningful opportunity to present rebuttal evidence on the key issues in his claims.

There was a time since it was the thing you needed to warm up over dishes, prepare snacks and appetizers Wholesale Benjamin Watson Jersey , and other little things in addition to toasting the bread and rolls when the toaster oven was the talk of every kitchen. If it did not possess a toaster oven the kitchen was totally inconvenient.
The toaster oven still has a location in the kitchen now but is a little higher than before. Make toast, it is no longer used to just warm up left overs and prepare bites. Now's little oven can cook, bake, grill and broil among other things. A few of the toaster ovens are also equipped with skills that were rotisserie. However, it doesn't quit there.
At this point you have a range of an oven with or without convection technology. Just precisely what's convection cooking There are coils or lightbulbs that create heat and through the toaster oven the heated air is circulated in the convection oven together with the usage of a fan. If you cook with a convection oven, you are certain to possess your food cooked quicker because the heat is uniformly distributed via the toaster oven, and retain the juices. In the non convection, the heat is distributed from one and that is from a coil located beneath the racks which keeps it from becoming burned.
The convection toaster has cornered the market for toaster ovens. There is more advertising for the convection oven than there is for the non-convection oven. When comparing the convection toaster to the non-convection toaster Wholesale Nick Boyle Jersey , there is a decided difference in its operation and end effect. The convection oven, since it has got the fan that moves the hot air around, is better for fast cooking and browning. The non- the food browns but you need to observe it a turn it to get it browned equally.
The convection and non-convection toasters cook, broil, grill, etc. but the end results are different and the process is distinct with both ovens. As for the cost, you'll discover that the convection oven runs a bit higher in price than the non-convection oven.

Its been almost 3 months since I started my new job as a nurse care coordinator and working from home. I have to say, working from home has its own challenges too.
When you think of flexibility, freedom, and finances.....working from home is a wonderful thing. Yet, I am finding out that you loose a lot of this public interaction and being around other great and not so great personalities.
When I was working in the hospital. I talked about people I work with that really got on my freaking nerves. Now that I'm away from them, I'm really enjoying not being around them. But miss the ones who I am fond of.
They say, you cannot have everything. But, why is that? Is it bad that I wish to have the best of both worlds?
Well.... My clinical manager asked me during our meeting if I am still in a happy place with what I'm doing. I was taken aback because you don't hear this too often. I said yes, I'm good and still learning a lot.
She did say that when I'm ready, she can put me in one of the hospital in the area and do a transition of care visit for eligible clients. Like once or twice a week. I was surprised that at an early stage of this job, she is offering me this very timely opportunity.
Favorable circumstances do not come often. I'll do it and see what happens. Like what I said before, I wouldn't know if I don't do it. This has been my mantra when I find myself in a crossroad. It works for me. Every time.
In the meantime, I have been busy reviving my old hobby of painting. I have been enjoying these moments of expressing my point across through a brush, paint and canvas.I painted a lot of landscapes a while back. Now, I am widening my repertoire by adding people or still life in my subjects.
So far, it has been an awesome experience for me. Its relaxing but tiring at times. There's always an on going decision making process happenong while painting. But in the end, the finish product makes me smile. and that's good enough for me.
Reminds me of the nursing process.
There are many occupations in our society. But the nursing sector is more dependable and active for some dedicated nurse. They are not just nursing but they are trying with heart and soul. A nurse helps patients the whole walk of life.
Thanks a lot for the great info here, really appreciate it.

I had previously done a roast to a 48 hour limit, and found it to be good and tender, but also to suffer from a sawdust-like flavor and texture, a product perhaps of too much drying. I was also interested in Stefan Gourmet’s finding that sous-vide juices are much more usable after being heated and strained (Stefan also has a very usable vegetable stock recipe as well).
The roast used was a 3 pound chuck roast, which I squeezed into a quart Food Savr bag. It would have been better to use a custom bag, as the quart bag was a little small and it took work to seal it. Spicing was pretty simple. Onion and garlic powders, various peppers (cracked black pepper, red and cayenne pepper powder, paprika, crushed red peppers), slivers of garlic inserted into folds in the meat, thyme and rosemary, sage and parsley. Dry spices were used, as to not overpower the meat.
This was cooked at 131F for 22 hours. A buffalo steak was added at the same time, and fished out four hours later. The final product looked like this coming out of the pot.
The juices were saved, and looked a bit like this.
We heated the juices to almost a simmer, the pot turning into a scummy brown. This we then strained, using a collander and a pre-moistened paper towel (pre-moistening reduces liquid loss). We tried skimming, but as the scum retains considerable liquid, we later put everything into the collander and let it drain. This gave us perhaps a cup of clear colored liquid. This we treated as if it were a beef stock. It was sealed in a jar and placed in the refrigerator.
In the fridge, after a day, this liquid will turn cloudy. That’s not because of any bacterial growth, but the product gels a bit in the refrigerator.
Good roast. Some chew left, but tender and flavorful.
The roast we started eating immediately. It was good warm, perhaps better cold. I was lucky to have prepared it when I did, as the capacitor went out in the air conditioning and it was a couple days before we could get the aircon fixed. So, once the house was cool, we went about making a reduction of the liquid. To note, the liquid was gelatinous when fetched. Heat got rid of that in a couple minutes.
We set a pot on a simmer, and towards the end of the liquid loss, added slices of garlic, some dry thyme, some cracked pepper, some red wine, and some butter to the pot. The final product looked good. If I have any warning, taste test what you add to your liquid, and taste test the reduction itself. That would allow you to adjust for any off flavors.

Why re-invent the wheel? Clubs are often willing to share and help each other with ideas and mutual support. The club innovation and best practice awards scheme aims to support that process and to bring your ideas to the attention of other clubs that may not otherwise be aware of them.
You can contribute ideas that have been practiced and tested at your club, which you think are capable of being adapted for the benefit of members at other BGA clubs. Ideas may be anything – small or large – the main criterion is that you should feel that introducing the idea has had a significant and positive impact on your club’s operations.
Please use this form to share details of your innovation – and to be considered for the Best Practice Award!
You can view good practice case studies here.
Innovative – ideas must have either something completely new, or apply existing ideas or methods in a new way.
Effective – must have been in use for a sufficient period of time for measurable benefits to be identified.
Evidence of other clubs already adopting/borrowing the idea will be seen as a positive factor in assessing the concept. Advice or observations from relevant experts in specific areas may be sought.
The award offered will be a free place at BGA Assistant instructor course and will be presented at the annual BGA Club Management Conference.
