 in the Fire Service for about seven or eight years I think and then went on to be a county ambulance driver, he was quite well known when he was in the Ambulance Service. He was a driver for several years.”
Harry Peberdy, of Normanton on Soar, says his father, Geoffrey Peberdy, was also missing from the list.
“He was a retained fireman for quite a lot of years,” he said.
“We lived in Bridge Street about five doors away from the fire station, where the medical centre is now. We had a bell in the house which would ring when there was a fire.
“He started his own decorator’s business and many a time he wasn’t at work, sometimes for a whole week, because they would have brecon fires.
“I always remember him telling me he had actually put mother’s pants on by accident rushing in the dark – that was a bit of a laugh for him – and I remember the children’s parties in the big hall above the fire station.
“They also used to have a competition where they used to roll a hosepipe out and see who could do it quickest, I think dad won it three years on the trot!”
Pat Oxspring, of East Leake, who was a firewoman on the switchboard from 1957 until 1960, called to add her brother-in-law, John Oxspring, to the list.
And it was a real family affair as Pat’s husband Stan also worked there, in fact that was how they met.
“Stan thinks he joined in 1963. He did get the Queen’s Commendation for rescuing a woman out of the canal on a frosty morning but Stan can’t remember the year.”I would definitely max raise skeleton and skeleton mastery first and foremost.  After that it gets a little fuzzy and depends more on your specific situation.  It's the golem's survivability (GMastery) vs. your kill speed (CE level), but how those two balance out depends on the specifics of your situation.

  How often does your golem get low on health?  How often do you get low on mana?(NOAA/EMC), Mike Iacono and David Berthiaume (AER) and Indraneil Gokhale (Intel Corp) notes “Neither accelerator (Phi or M2070) is living up to its name” and to “wait for Cori” the Intel Knights Landing Nersc Supercomputer.Unfortunately, this presentation is based on old versions of both the Intel and NVIDIA hardware (an M2070).

Song of Songs 7:9-10
She
May the wine go straight to my beloved,
flowing gently over lips and teeth.[o]
10 I belong to my beloved,
and his desire is for me.
My husband and I have been having the exact same argument for about 5 years. Well actually, it’s not even an argument. It is me getting upset at him because I start keeping score.
You see during the past 5 years I have repeatedly stripped bare – completely naked – in front of my husband. Not physically naked – but emotionally. I have shared parts of my life that I have shared with no one else. The parts that have held me captive and that I sometimes still struggle to be free from. Things that tear me up, or that fill me with remorse and regret. They are the memories that formed me and even though they no longer control me, it still feels vulnerable to share them.
The problem is, I don’t feel like my husband lays himself bare.
I remember trying to move conversation into a more intimate arena, and asking my husband, “What was one of your biggest struggles as a kid?” He immediately responded, “Why in the world would you ask something like that?” as if I was suggesting self inflected torture.
I know men are different. I do. But if intimacy is about getting to “know” each other, isn’t understanding what formed us and sharing childhood memories part of knowing each other?
I have this theory that the hardest thing men do is to fully share their struggles and that the hardest thing women do is to fully share their body during sex.
During my class I ask the mixer question, “When have you felt the closest to your husband?” Over and over I hear from women, “when he shares his struggles.” In many ways it is what wives crave, maybe because we crave to hear from our husbands hearts, rather than from their minds.
I am guessing that if I asked men the same question, many might answer, “when we have great sex.” In other words, when my wife freely shares her body, and expresses herself sexually.
I find it interesting that what our spouse most desires, is what is hardest for us. It is as if God is daring us, “Try to do this on your own, with all your might, or let go and depend on Me and together all things are possible.”
Now some people might think that it is unreasonable for me to expect my husband to share what is so vulnerable – after all he is a man. But just as I am stretching in sharing my body, my desire is that he stretches in sharing his emotions.
So what does all of this have to do with Song of Songs?
Whether or not my husband ever changes, I Belong to Him. I will continue to share myself – my struggles, my emotions, my body, my creativity, my words, and my sexuality. What I do is not in response to what he does. It is not tit for tat. It is not bartering. And even though I sometimes still struggle, it is not keeping score. I Belong to Him and I will continue to pour myself out to him and trust that what ever stretching my husband needs to do, will come in response to God, not me.
1. How are you holding your husband hostage? How are you keeping score? Ask God to help you let go of it and repent to your husband.
2. Write your husband a love letter entitled, “I Belong to You”, and tell him all the ways that you desire to share yourself with him.
3. Take a step to stretch yourself in sharing your body during sex.Friday, Sept. 5, 2008
Tonight @ the UWM Union Theater - 5 p.m.
The LGBT Film/Video Festival continues today with three screenings at the UWM Union Theatre: It Is Not the Homosexual Who Is Perverse, But the Society in Which He Lives, a 1971 Germany “educational” relic at 5 p.m.; The New World, a French drama about a lesbian couple debating having a child at 7 p.m., and YOU...Conventional in-center hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) are treatment options for patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). However, their long-term impacts on all-cause mortality of patients with ESKD have not been determined.
This was a open-label, randomized trial form 36 sites in China, with 1082 incident ESKD patients randomly assigned to either HD or PD. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality, and was assessed in the intention-to-treat (ITT) population, with sensitivity analyses in the per-protocol and actual treatment datasets. We calculated the difference in restricted mean survival time (RMST) to compare the impacts of HD and PD on all-cause death (NCT01413074 and 02378350).
537 ESKD patients allocated to HD and 545 to PD between June 2011 to July 2016. The mean (SD) age was 49.8 (14.9) years; 232 (21.4%) had diabetes and 158 (14.6%) had pre-existing cardiovascular disease. During a median follow-up of 3.1 (IQR 1.0–5.8) years, 122 (22.7%) patients in HD and 157 (28.8%) in PD group died. Survival was not different between HD and PD during the overall follow-up period after adjustment for age, sex, diabetes, and baseline eGFR (adjusted RMST difference 0.45[95% CI -0.39–1.30] years, P=0.29). However, the survival curves of HD and PD separated after 4-year follow-up. During the first 4 years after randomization, patients received HD and PD had comparable survival (adjusted RMST difference -0.03 [95% CI -0.16–0.10] years, P=0.65). In contract, patients with HD had better survival than those with PD in the last 6 years of follow-up (adjusted RMST difference 0.70 [0.05–1.34] years, P=0.03). HD was superior to PD in the patients without diabetes (adjusted RMST difference 0.49 [0.16–0.82] years, P=0.004) or cardiovascular diseases (adjusted RMST difference 0.51 [0.23–0.80] years, P<0.001). PD patients with cardiovascular disease had better survival than HD, although the RMST difference was not significant. The result of the sensitivity analyses were consistent.
HD and PD had comparable survival in ESKD patients during the overall follow-up period and the first 4 years of treatment, but HD was superior to PD afterword
