  1. Yeh I was a bit disappoint at the United fans for not staying as they're normally better than that. Was a nice touch the Saints fans applauding the United team up to collect their medals. I said exactly the same regarding the podium position........you can always trust the SFA to fcuk things up I suppose!
  2. Thought Saints deserved it in the end. Uniteds time will come. I had a great day at the game......was in the same hospitality as Tommy Wrights family so was delighted he came up with the Cup after the game.....got a nice pic of TW & me holding the Scottish Cup on my FB :-)
  3. ^^^This......hope you're alright mate. Keep your chin up.....you'll get through this
  4. My mate has had to pull out of coming to the game on Saturday.........I now have 2no Corporate Tickets!
  5. He'll certainly not be in charge of navigation......remember he wanted to sail her to Dundee!
  6. you can go to the bingo with Granny Danger & Sergeant Wilson in that case....
  7. Let me get the boat refitted first! Have agreed a price today with a guy to repaint the boat.....but getting the job done is very much dependent upon the weather as I'll be fcuked if I'm paying or sailing the boat to a covered dock! Oi! and less of the middle aged!
  8. Nah mate.....they were Thai twin sisters!
  9. I still have no idea about most nautical terms to be honest! Yeh.....am pretty sure Kelpie is up here at Leamington Wharf at the moment.......although there's a new Dutch style barge boat here that is getting all the attention at present.......nice piece of kit
  10. ^^^I echo this including the congratulations. Thought the centre halfs looked good as well as Telfer, McKay and the striker that came on as a sub looks like he has potential......big, strong & quick.
  11. Brain Stimulation May Treat Severe Depression Better Than Meds May 7, 2014 | by Lisa Winter photo credit: Helen Mayberg/Emory University/NIH Share37.6K Tweet139 18 Reddit2 45 About 1 in 10 American adults experience depression. Anti-depressant medication is often the first course of action, but about 40% of those with depression are not helped by that approach. A new study from Neuronetics has revealed that Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) could be a beneficial option for some who have not been helped by medications. The study results were announced this week at the Annual Meeting of of the American Psychiatric Association by Mark Demitrack, Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of Neuronetics. TMS works by using targeted magnetic pulses similar to that used in an MRI to stimulate the brain. This stimulation encourages blood flow and activity in the area of the prefrontal cortex responsible for regulating mood. Initial treatments requires five 37-minute-long sessions each week for about 4-6 weeks, with some using monthly maintenance sessions. The cost of the treatment averages out to about $1000 per month, though some insurances may cover a portion of it. The study compared the TMS Outcome Study and the landmark Sequenced Treatment Alternatives to Relieve Depression (STAR*D) study. After the initial phase of treatment, 53 percent of patients experienced a reduction or remission of their depression symptoms, compared to 38 percent from the STAR*D study. Following the first six weeks, the TMS group was randomized into two: one group receiving monthly maintenance treatments, and one undergoing monthly observations while getting put on a different medication. In the group that received additional treatment, 62.5% continued to see a reduction or elimination in symptoms three months later, compared to the 43.8% in the group that was just observed monthly. The most common side effect from TCM is mild pain at the treatment site, though most patients only experience those headaches during the first week. Because the treatment is localized instead of systemic (like oral medications), patients are spared from many side effects such as nausea, fatigue, and changes in appetite. Over the last 15 years, about half of the patients who have been treated with TMS have seen a meaningful reduction in their symptoms, while about 35% have gone into remission, Popular Science reports. As with most studies, there are some points that have invited in criticism. Roughly 90% of all TMS patients continued to take anti-depressant medication during the study. The study was not blind as doctors and participants knew which treatment each patient was receiving. Additionally, the TMS group that received monthly follow-up treatments was not put up against a placebo group, as the other group was receiving an alternative treatment.

  13. Received this email from the Council regarding my enquiry about an outdoor gym in the Meadows: Dear sjc Regarding the e mail below and your interest in an outdoor gym in the Meadows, I can confirm we would like to put in a gym in the Meadows, but unfortunately don’t have the funding at the moment, but we are working on what grants might be available to fund a gym for the Meadows , I am also working with members of the Inch Park Sports club who are applying for a grant to fund a outdoor gym for Inch Park, this is still at an early stage , but if that funding is secured ,hoping to have in place in the Inch Park for 2015 . Please get back to me if you require any further information at this stage.
