Hey y'all, what thread do you use? I am doing a couple mods to my hammock, so I want some good thread that's not going to break.
Gutterman's polyester
+1 Gutterman's
I finally got around to cleaning my workshop; the puppy purring away on my work table is a 70s-vintage Husquvarna.
From left to right:
- The mess I cleaned up. Man, I need to do this more often!
- The beast.
- A close-up of the throat plate and needle assembly.
- Odd angle 1.
- Odd angle 2.
I just got this on the way home from the MI hang.
It is a Consew 226R1. It has a walking foot. which should make some things easier
The fellow bought it at auction, and had it 6 months, never used it. It came from an RV dealer that closed originally, and I don't think it got used very much.
Not much dirt underneath but a bunch of dried corn inside from the mice.
I cleaned and lubed it up, and after getting it threaded correctly, this thing is scary fast, gonna have to slow it down somehow.
Just the bit of try outs convinced me to wear the safety glasses. The leather was not even an issue

Father in appeal over fatal blaze
A father who lost his entire family in a house fire has issued a fresh appeal for witnesses to help him understand the tragedy, as police revealed the property was burgled on the night of the blaze.
Dr Abdul Shakoor's wife Dr Sabah Usmani, sons Sohaib, 11, and Rayyan, six, and daughter Hira, 13, died in the blaze at Barn Mead, Harlow, Essex. A third son, Muneeb, nine, and a second daughter, Maheen, three, died later in hospital.
Essex Police have now said they believe there was a burglary at the property on the night of the fire after the family had gone to bed and before the blaze was discovered.
Investigators originally suspected the fire on October 15 was an arson attack but no accelerant has so far been found at the scene.
Dr Shakoor, the tragedy's sole survivor, read a statement imploring anyone with information to help provide answers to the questions that remain.
Unable to fight back tears, he said: "I do not understand why my little children who were so happy and full of life, who had so much to live for, are no longer here.
"I ask from my heart that anyone with information comes forward to help, so that I may understand the tragedy that has so befallen my beautiful family. Even a small piece of information may make a difference and, however difficult it may be, I ask anyone who knows what happened to do the right thing, to come forward and to talk to the police."
Detective Superintendent Rob Vinson, the senior investigating officer on the case, said police believe several items including a laptop were removed from the house on the night of the fire.
He said: "Our inquiries have revealed that in Harlow during the same evening and early morning there were two other unsuccessful attempts to break into other properties and one where entry was gained but the suspect was disturbed and nothing was taken. How these incidents relate to the current investigation is ongoing."
Det Supt Vinson said he was keen to speak to a teenage boy of around 15 or 16 and a slim girl in a school uniform who were seen throwing Dr Shakoor's laptop bag away near garages in Whitewaits, Harlow. The bag was found on October 26 containing personal papers and a laptop lead. A spokesman for Essex Police said later that the schoolgirl and teenage boy seen throwing away the laptop bag had come forward and were speaking to detectives.

Do more. Do less.
One of my colleagues explained why he thought XP was so successful: "Do more of what is working. Do less of what is not working. Perform experiments instead of guessing, measure results." I think that this sums up nicely how a pragmatic and outcome-led Agile approach to software development works.

Legoland Florida 12/28/2016
12/31/16 at 12:20pm in Legoland Florida 12/28/2016
Post: #1
I was unfortunately unable to visit Christmas Town or Shamu's Christmas Celebration like I planned this year so instead, I went to Legoland for the very first time for their Christmas celebration. It was pretty busy that day, but thanks to the slow operations I wasn't able to get as much in as I planned.
The coasters are pretty solid. I unfortunately missed out on Flight School because I had to catch the last showing of the Lego Movie 4D but I've got plenty of opportunities to do that in the future.
The new Ninjago World is looking really neat. Can't wait for it to open so I can ride it
The Lego Movie 4D show was really cute
The apple fries are incredible. No wonder Legoland is famous for them.
Miniland is sooooo good. I could spend hours upon hours there if I had the time.
The fireworks show was really good.
Operations could use a lot of tweaking. One train on every coaster and it takes forever to dispatch them. At times they were pulling 5 minutes at some rides.
The Christmas celebration wasn't as extensive as it is in the other parks. Only the front area has lights and outside of that, there's a few Santa figures and some Santa minifigs in Miniland and that's it.
I was still a little disappointed I couldn't see everything in a day thanks to the crowds. I'll probably buy my annual pass soon so I can make a few more visits this year. Especially after Ninjago world opens.
I can't wait to come back here more often. This is a really nice park.

Battlefield: Bad Company Xbox 360 Cheats
- Game: Battlefield: Bad Company
- Game Description: Battlefield: Bad Company is the next generation console shooter Xbox 360 game. The main features of battlefield are the non-traditional single player story, engaging sandbox game play and almost 100% destructible environments. Battlefield: Bad Company will definitely be up to the expectations of Battlefield fans globally.
Drill of Destruction cheat for Battlefield: Bad Company on Xbox 360
This works in both single player and multi-player....
What you do is this, take out your battery powered drill if you have one on you (the drill is normally used to fix vehicles) but the drill can also destroy them.
The only time you can destroy a vehicle is when an enemy is inside it, for instance sneak up to an enemy vehicle start drilling or jump onto it and start drilling, the vehicles health will rapidly decrease and then explode.
While trying this in single player be careful and make sure that the enemy cannot shoot you while you are on the vehicle because if you stand next to an enemy vehicle it will try shoot at you (the heavy and medium tanks will try shoot you only with the machine gun on top).
Sometimes they will start to drive away to get a better shot at you so you should just stick to jumping on the vehicle and drilling it.
But in multi-player the enemy will just jump out of the vehicle and try kill you or just back up and ride over you.
The drill can also destroy walls, fences, poles (wood and metal ones), trees, concrete barriers, so no need for a grenade launcher!
Game Name: Battlefield: Bad Company

Simply Noel:
December 25 – A Gift
Merry Christmas!
It seems as though it would be fitting for the topic today to be Christ-related, right? I mean afterall, it is Christmas Day. But, I have a different message laying on my heart today, and I believe the timing is no coincidence.
You are a gift.
In case you needed to hear that today, you are a treasured gift. Your value is immeasurable. Your worth is greater than all the riches of the earth. And your existence…you…you were planned for and bought with a life.
You are known and unique and the Lord has shaped destiny around your very being. He loves you so much that He sent His only Son to come to this world as a baby, and that baby would grow into a man whose heart was to teach you and train you for the life that the Father had so delicately planned for you. The Son would then die for you, defeat death for you, come back to life for you, and then leave His Holy Spirit to dwell in and among you, so that you would be a champion in this place.
He thinks that you are such a gift to this world that He went to great lengths to prove it.
Recently, I faced rejection by someone whose opinions mattered so much to me. I took a risk and exposed a vulnerable part of my heart only to be met with a response I had feared in the first place. The hurt struck deep, and the embarrassment was like a snag in my favorite sweater – an unexpected reminder of my shortcomings that wasn't going anywhere anytime soon.
I could have replied with transparency, exposing my wounded feelings, but instead, I let it settle and I laid it at His feet. I could do this, because He showed me something about myself through the rejection…
My value, the value of my writings, the value of my mind and heart, the value of my time…they are not measured by any other humans. They are measured by the Lord of Lords. Everything I put my hand to, everything you put your hand to, is unto Him. When I started to see that, the sting faded and my confidence was restored.
During the holidays we spend a great deal of time with others, and in doing so, we obviously increase the odds that someone may hurt our hearts. Maybe it's a snide comment, or perhaps it's something said in jest but goes deep… Maybe it's being made to feel "less than" or not "good enough" by the people in your life that you most want approval from… Maybe you just feel unnoticed, unappreciated or overlooked…
Regardless, you are a gift. Your life is a gift to this world, and your talents and passions are uniquely your own. Remember today, as you give and receive, He gave first and all that we are is a gift back to Him.
Klover House Christmas:
This year was the first year that we spent most of the day at our own home. There were a few hours of "nothing to do" and "no one to see" in our day, and so, it felt a little strange but wonderful. Usually, holidays feel so rushed for our family, and in previous years, we spent a great deal of time in the car. Today, however, we found ourselves actually spending time with one another – imagine that! lol
While it was slightly awkward, because it was unfamiliar, I loved being able to enjoy some spontaneity with our children. Once my in-laws headed on their way following breakfast, I knew we had a decent stretch of time before my mother and step-dad would arrive, so we opened a few new toys and actually let the kids play! We also decorated the gingerbread houses that had been neglected earlier in the week. It was probably the most unintentional schedule we've ever found ourselves following on a holiday, but I think it ended up being one of my favorites because of the unexpected time we were able to spend with each other.
All that to say…don't be afraid to have downtime on Christmas. Yes, it's important to visit with loved ones and squeeze a lot of doing and seeing into this glorious day, but if you can, carve a pocket of time out to just sit and be – reserve time for hanging out with your spouse and your kids or for sipping a cup of coffee next to your tree. And just breathe. Create a chance to take in the gift of the day.

Ice and snow made for slick roads and cautious driving last week as Grant County saw its first winter storm of the season.
While kids sledding or building a snowman seemed to be nonexistent with the frigid temperatures and hard ground, snow plows and salt trucks patrolled the street at every turn.
Down by as many as eight points in the final minutes of the fourth quarter against Carroll County, the GCHS girls' basketball team could have given up. They could have drifted through the final possessions and waited for the buzzer to sound.
But they fought back, picking it up on offense and defense to cut the Lady Panthers lead to one with only a few seconds left. A heave from half court could have won the game for the Lady Braves, but it didn't hit the net, giving Carroll County a 61-60 win on Feb. 6.
Stocks & Financial Ticker
The Kentucky Wildcats looked to rebound from their first conference loss of the season on Jan.
Depression. Anger. Confusion. Fear. These are the feelings that have been increasingly taking up my time after each Kentucky basketball game. Kentucky fans are quickly trying to schedule an appointment with their doctors to get on some antidepressants and anxiety medicine as this year's season is quickly plummeting into a dark abyss. OK, maybe that is a little melodramatic, but in all seriousness this season's success or failure will be determined in the next few games.
When Keegan Bailey studied U.S. presidents in first grade at Williamstown Elementary he noticed something.
"He came home one day and pointed out that, 'Mommy, none of the presidents look like me. They're all old, white men,'" said Lynn Bailey, mother of the bi-racial Keegan.
When Sen. Barack Obama was elected president, Lynn decided to take her oldest son to Washington D.C., to see the historic inauguration in person on Tuesday, Jan. 20.
With the first-ever basketball team and cheerleading squad recently formed, Special Olympics in Grant County is in full gear.
The Grant County Jaguars basketball team began their season Jan. 17 at Caywood Elementary in Edgewood with tournaments on Feb. 8 in Paris and Feb. 21 in Union to follow.
The cheerleading squad will participate in its first competition on Feb. 1 in Richmond.
Signups were conducted in October for both groups.
The GCHS Dance team made the most of their first opportunity to compete this year, taking first place at the Just Keep Dreaming competition in Bourbon County on Jan. 24.
"I told the girls that they would have to get their nerves out and they could do it," coach Kim Graves said. "Just keep smiling."
"I thought it was really amazing and there were a lot of good teams," Deya Torres said. "I'm so happy that we took first place because we put so much effort into it."
The weather that shut down schools last week also disrupted local basketball teams schedules.
The Williamstown Lady Demons and the Grant County Lady Braves were able to play their rivalry game on Jan. 26, but then both teams had to postpone or cancel other matchups later in the week.
The Lady Demons had to postpone their game against Trimble County on Jan. 31 until Feb. 7. They also missed several practices during the week, sometimes practicing with only a portion of their team.
When their mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in August 2007, four Grant County sisters were lost and lonely.
Debbie Vannarsdall, Brenda Caldwell, Rhonda Rich and Christie Evans lost their mom in September 2008.
Now, the siblings have made it their mission to help others know that they are not alone by starting an Alzheimer's Support Group.

Common Cat Problems Solved: Stealing Food
December 8, 2009 by admin
Filed under Common Cat Problems Solved
Question: My cat does not seem to understand that he / she is not allowed to eat human food. They will often steal food off the kitchen counter or our dinner plates if we happen to turn our backs for one second. They are extremely sneaky and make life very unpleasant, as we have to constantly be on our guard. How do we teach them that they cannot eat human food?
Answer: The problem here is that the cat does not understand why they are not allowed human food, and no amount of cat training will actually rectify the issue. As an animal, who cannot understand reasoning, the idea that they cannot eat the incredibly tasty food they see before them is a cause of confusion. They want it, it looks nice, it's right there… why not eat it?
As you cannot explain the hygiene and behavioural problems with a cat, the situation has to be dealt with differently. When your cat does eat food off a kitchen counter or a dinner plate, your reaction should be swift. Say "no" in a firm and powerful voice, then remove the cat from the room for the rest of the meal. If possible, keep the cat out of the room when food is around.
In terms of prevention, this is a difficult thing to achieve – as mentioned, you cannot override that instinct for wanting to eat what a cat conceives to be nice food. Always ensure your cat is well fed, so they are less likely to want to steal food – ideally, feed your cat a half hour before humans are going to eat. This, combined with clamping down on bad behaviour, should see a reduction in food theft.

Haunted houses, hayrides and holiday hoopla, oh my! It's almost time for Halloween in one of the most haunted regions in the country.
Attractions around the city are hosting spooktacular Halloween celebrations, both leading up to the event, on the actual night and afterwards. There's something for everyone, from candy-hungry kids to thrill-seeking adventurists to history buffs and more.
Check out our top picks for Halloween frights and fun in and around Philadelphia:
Terrifying Tours
• Ghost Tours of New Hope: Friday and Saturday nights through October 31. Follow a lantern-led walk along picturesque streets where you'll see the phantom Hitchhiker who may pass you in the moonlight, or see the historic inn where Aaron Burr appears from time to time and stares with sightless eyes… plus new exciting stories that have been added to the tour.
• New Hope and Ivyland Railroad's Haunted Halloween and Trick or Treat Trains: Fridays-Sundays through October 31. Do you dare to climb aboard? Take a ride on the dark side, or for the Trick or Treat Train, assorted toys and candy will be given out onboard as well as at the station for children (costumes encouraged!) of all ages.
• Ghost Tours of Powel and Physick House: Fridays-Saturdays through October 29, plus October 30-31. Peer into the shadows of Philly's supernatural side as you explore the dark tales and paranormal activity of the haunted, colonial-era mansions in Society Hill, either the Powel or Physick House. Both are said to be
haunted, with strange and unexplainable experiences reported for 70+ years. You'll get easy-to-use EMF meters (electromagnetic field meters) to peer behind the veil that separates the living from the dead.
• Murder, Mystery, & Mayhem Tour: Wednesdays-Sundays through October 30. Have you ever wondered where the first kidnapping for ransom was? Where the first bank robbery in the country happened? On what street in the city Dr. Helmuth would waken to find more than 40 dead in one night from the fever? This is not your typical ghost tour, it's a macabre fact tour of the city with a little bit of paranormal added for good measure.
• Franklin Institute's Mummies of the World: Flashlight Tour: Friday, October 21, 9-11 p.m. The Franklin Institute turns off the lights for a special late-night flashlight tour of the Mummies exhibit on its final weekend. This unusual experience will have you following an expert guide through the darkened interior of the popular exhibition. Along the way, you'll meet the tattooed mummy lady, an Egyptian pharaoh and the family that was mummified in their own crypt. Be prepared — behind every mummy, there's a strange story waiting to be told.
• Sinners, Scandals and Suicides Tour at Laurel Hill Cemetery: Sunday, October 16, 2 p.m. Laurel Hill has its brave military heroes and selfless philanthropists. But what about the less than pure spirits? The South Philly gangster who got whacked when he tried to infiltrate the Schuylkill County numbers racket? The noted artist who committed suicide during the Depression when his priceless art collections were sold at auction for a few thousand dollars? The final resting places of these troubled souls will be among the many stops on this walking tour of Laurel Hill's scandalous, sinful and sordid side.
• Flashlight Halloween Tours at Laurel Hill Cemetery: Friday, October 28 and Saturday, October 29, 7 p.m. Guides will lead you along winding, dimly-lit pathways and through forests of gravestones and sculptures, as you learn about the history of this enchanting site. Along the way, you'll meet some of Laurel Hill's most restless spirits, as portrayed by talented local actors, the Not Ready for Afterlife Players. Afterwards, feast aside fire pits on cookies, hot apple cider and other spooky treats.
Dozens more options for celebrating Halloween, below.

A live theater performance illuminates their spirits and sheds light on subsequent encounters with the duo.
• Spirit of '76 Ghost Tour Ongoing. The 75-minute tour winds walkers down a spine-chilling path of cobblestone streets to visit Historic Philadelphia's 20 most haunted attractions, including Carpenters' Hall, Old Pine Street Church and Cemetery and the Benjamin Rush House.
• Spooky Tours of Stenton: October 29. Something Spooky has taken over James Logan's Stenton for Halloween… the exact day Mr. Logan died in 1751! Join, if you dare, a frightfully fun tour exploring the mysteries of Stenton mansion and the Logan family. If you make it out of the mansion alive, have fun painting a pumpkin to take home. Light refreshments will also be served.
• Mercer by Moonlight Tour: October 28. What lurks in the shadows of the Mercer castle? Discover the history and folklore of some of the museum's more chilling or ghoulish objects, including a hearse, gallows, "witch" doctor's canes, brooms and more on this seasonal nighttime tour. Light refreshments will follow.
Frightening Festivals
• HorrorFest at Shady Brook Farm: Thursdays-Saturdays through October 30. Shackle up a wagon on the Hayride of Horror and visit the depths of Shady Brook's wooded acres.

The Long Haul from Deregulation: Truck Drivers and Social Capital in the Louisiana Oilpatch
Gardner, Andrew M., Human Organization
Southern Louisiana has played host to the oil industry for nearly a century. While much of the contemporary activity is offshore, the communities of southern Louisiana provide labor and support to this vast enterprise. Truck-based transportation is one component of this support industry. In the past, the trucking industry meshed with the social and familial networks of the region, but state-level deregulation has rendered these connections inert. Based on interviews with truck drivers and truck company owners, this paper maps the historic importance of these social networks and gauges the impact of deregulation in social, rather than economic, terms. While the paramount impact of deregulation has been significant losses of power and control by local communities, the aftermath of these policy changes has opened up the trucking industry to new ethnic, geographic, and gender groups.
Key words: truck drivers, oil industry, social capital, Louisiana, Acadiana
The bayous and marshland of southern Louisiana host one of the largest agglomerations of industry in North America. Unprecedented quantities of oil were discovered at Spindletop, Texas, in 1901, and after encompassing much of East Texas in an oil boom, the nascent American oil industry moved east into Louisiana. Over the intervening decades it built a vast empire of derricks, pipe, and platforms on the wet marshland of Acadiana-the 22 southernmost parishes of the state-whose identity remains secured to the French-Canadian ancestry of generations past. The submerged landscape of the oilpatch, as the men and women of southern Louisiana refer to it, fostered the technological innovations that eventually led drilling companies offshore to open water and, later, beyond the continental shelf. Vestiges of this industry are still active inland, but in the contemporary oilpatch, the action is offshore.
These offshore actions depend on a robust inland support network. Onshore concerns are strung along the winding bayou roads that cross the region, and although the industry coagulates in towns like Morgan City, Houma, and New Iberia, the vast scope of this decentralized industry is difficult to perceive. So little dry land is to be had in southern Louisiana that the industry was always dispersed.
From the earliest years of the industry, trucks and truck drivers played an essential role in transporting heavy equipment among the many links in the chain of production. Thanks to them, pipe moves between the industrial yards and docks, drill bits sent in from offshore for repair are transported to machine shops, pumps and motors are carried from inland businesses to loading points. Since the 1950s, this transportation industry has been configured around the owneroperator who, in turn, works for a trucking company. A description of this business model, and the local social structures that supported it, will be presented in some detail below; for now, it will suffice to say that deregulation, which took effect in 1996, had a catastrophic impact upon the income of oilpatch truckers. Even more importantly, deregulation broke the social template of the trucking business by changing the way people worked and related to one another as businessmen and entrepreneurs. At the current juncture, the social impacts of deregulation have been as devastating as its economic impacts.
This paper seeks to address several gaps in our collective knowledge. First, it describes a group of people and a section of the U.S. industrial structure that have received little attention beyond an occasional article in the local newspaper. The truck drivers of Acadiana were not a part of the spate of attention truckers received in the 1980s. At the turn of that decade, the federal government moved to deregulate interstate trucking, and a variety of studies both preceded and followed this policy change (Glaskowsky, O'Neil, and Hudson 1976; Owen 1988; Glaskowsky 1986; Childs 1985; Dempsey 1989; Perry 1986; Davis 1980). …

A scheme has been put in place by Save the Children to equip communities with better access to basic healthcare.
Fourteen health workers from kindergartens in Suva and Nasouri will be trained in basic healthcare as part of the Community Child Nutrition Project.
Save the Children Fiji's health manager Ashweeni Lata believes the program will break barriers between health workers and communities and form a closer link between communities and the Health Ministry.
"This training will also be adaptable to what the community workers needs on the ground and what their level of skills," Ms Lata said.

Turn and face the strange.
David Bowie's song is rolling around in my head this week as I wait for the Seattle Public Schools to unveil the boundary maps on October 6th. (You an access the maps by clicking here next Monday after 4 PM). These maps will define our attendance area and give us some insight as to where the District thinks kids should be going to school.
But first, let's call a spade a spade; the current system of student assignment is just plain nutty. Yeah, it all sounded great: public school parents theoretically had the pick of the city when applying for an elementary, middle or high school program for their kids. The result however, has not been quite so charming – schools packed to bursting in some parts of the city, others with nearly empty buildings.
As there is no comprehensive high school in the cluster for our kids to attend, Queen Anne and Magnolia are at a particular disadvantage during the high school enrollment derby. (The Center School is considered a "choice" or all-city draw, so even though it is geographically closest to Queen Anne, the distance from the school tie-breaker is not in play.) Unless your kids happened to have an older sibling already enrolled in a high school (the much vaunted sibling tiebreaker) or were part of the APP program with automatic enrollment at Garfield High School, it was a literal crap shoot where your ninth-grader might end up. Don't live across the street from Roosevelt High School – too bad, you're going to West Seattle! Oh, you want to go to Ballard High School with your friends? Think again, pal. Hey, but we've got about 800 seats available at Rainier Beach.
The District is changing the way students get assigned. Under the plan currently being put forth, high school students will have a guaranteed seat at a school based on his or her home address. The good news is that if that assignment doesn't work for the student (say he or she wants to go to an alternative school, or prefers a particular program only offered at a specific building), he or she may apply for a seat somewhere else in the city. The student retains the seat at school A unless the application for school B is accepted. In short, the new assignment plan is meant to provide some predictability for families.
That's the good news. The bad news (as far as I see it, at least) is that it is still a bit of a crap shoot where the District is planning on sending Queen Anne kids. Yes, we will have a defined attendance area, but there are no guarantees that our kids will be assigned a school that is geographically close. One stated intent of the new assignment plan is to keep down transportation costs and keep kids physically close to their neighborhoods. However, based on some of the nonsensical decisions seen in the last round of school closures, I don't have a ton of confidence that common sense always prevails.
So, until next Monday afternoon, all we can do is wait…and hum Bowie lyrics.

Olive (Olea europaea L.) leaf extract attenuates early diabetic neuropathic pain through prevention of high glucose-induced apoptosis: In vitro and in vivo studies
– Source: Journal of Ethnopharmacology, Jun 14, 2011
By Ayat Kaeidi, et al.
Aim of Study: Since the leaves of olive have been recommended in the literature as a remedy for the treatment of diabetes and they also contain antioxidant agents,* we decided to investigate the possible effects of olive leaf extract (OLE) on in vitro and in vivo models of diabetic pain neuropathy.
Materials and Methods: The high glucose-induced cell damage in naive and NGF-treated Pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats were used. Tail-flick test was used to access nociceptive threshold. [Nociceptors are nerves that transmit pain from damage or irritation.] Cell viability was determined by MTT assay. Biochemical markers of neural apoptosis [nerve cell death] were evaluated using immunoblotting.
Results: We found that:
• Elevation of glucose (4 times of normal) sequentially increases functional cell damage and caspase-3 activation in NGF-treated PC12 cells.
• Incubation of cells with olive leaf extract (200, 400 and 600 micrograms/ml) decreased cell damage.
• Furthermore, the diabetic rats developed neuropathic pain which was evident from decreased tail-flick latency (thermal hyperalgesia).
• Activated caspase 3 and Bax/Bcl2 ratio were significantly increased in spinal cord of diabetic animals.
• Olive leaf extract treatment (300 and 500 mg/kg per day) ameliorated hyperalgesia, inhibited caspase 3 activation and decreased Bax/Bcl2 ratio.
• Furthermore, olive leaf extract exhibited potent DPPH free radical scavenging capacity.
The results suggest that olive leaf extract inhibits high glucose-induced neural damage and suppresses diabetes-induced thermal hyperalgesia.
The mechanisms of these effects may be due, at least in part, to reduced neuronal apoptosis and suggest therapeutic potential of olive leaf extract in attenuation of diabetic neuropathic pain.

Queanbeyan's larrikin trainer Joe Cleary cheekily thinks Canberra trainers might start moving across the border so they can return to the NSW Country Championships.
Cleary has two runners in the Goulburn heat (1400 metres) of the Country Champs on Saturday, with the first two horses past the post earning a spot in the $388,000 final at Randwick on April 1.
Both Quietly Brilliant and Chaquinta were $23 chances behind $2.50-favourite Pumpkin Pie.
Canberra-trained horses were allowed to compete in the series last year, which has heats around NSW, but this year they'll go into the Provincial Champs instead.
Cleary said it was great for the "little blokes" of Queanbeyan.
"I think it's absolutely fantastic. I think all those Canberra trainers want to move to Queanbeyan," he joked.
"The Canberra guys will be competitive in the Provincial series, don't you worry about that.
"I think Racing NSW made the right decision. It gives us little blokes a bit more of a go because Canberra have got quite a big monopoly on it as you've seen in the first couple of years."
He'd dual nominated Quietly Brilliant in the Burley Griffin Sprint (1200m) - the precursor to the listed National Sprint (1400m) - but decided to scratch him from that and head to Goulburn instead.
Cleary said the five-year-old gelding was untried at 1400m, but could be a threat if jockey Simon Miller gets a quiet run.
It's more of a stepping stone for the stayer Chaquinta on her way to a bit more ground.
"I've got two class gallopers in the race, but the only negatives are if it was a 1200m race Quietly Brilliant would be a good thing, but being 1400m it's unchartered waters for him ... and he's got to carry 59kg from a wide barrier, but class will take him a fair way," Cleary said.
"Chaquinta, she's first up from an unbelievable preparation and it just sits nice with her program going forward.
"Not expecting blue-and-red ribbons, but if we happen to pick up a big, fat cheque, everyone will be happy."
How they run will determine where the pair end up, with this weekend also deciding how many runners Cleary has on Black Opal Stakes Day.
Quietly Brilliant could head towards the National Sprint or the Camarena (1000m), Rosaruby will look towards the $200,000 Canberra Cup (2000m), Catch The Culprit is aiming at the listed Canberra Guineas (1400m), while Lucy Rose could go to the group 3 Black Opal (1200m).
Meanwhile, Canberra trainer Nick Olive has stable star Single Gaze running in the group 2 Millie Fox Stakes (1300m) at Rosehill on Saturday.
She's an $11 chance behind $5.50-favourite Denmagic, as the four-year-old mare has her first run since she had a spectacular fall in the Australian Oaks (2400m) last April.

Aside from having reputations for being tough, resolute and gritty, the State of Michigan and Israel are adding a new entry to their list of descriptors: technology leaders.
The Michigan Economic Development Corp. and the Israeli Ministry of Economy are partnering to form the Michigan-Israel Technology Connect program to spawn new ideas for electric vehicles and driver protection.
Using their respective networks and databases, the MEDC and MATIMOP, the Israeli Center for R&D, will help companies identify potential partners for this program. In addition, it is anticipated that companies will be seeking their own partners independently. Each project will require one partner based in Michigan and another based in Israel. (more…)

LIVING IN | SHORT HILLS, N.J.; Schools, Shops and Transit, in a Pretty Package
By DAVE CALDWELL
Published: March 11, 2012
THE hot spot here seems to be the Mall at Short Hills, a posh center with 160 stores covering 1.3 million square feet. Off an exit ramp of State Route 24, it has a Bloomingdale's, a Macy's, a Neiman Marcus, a Nordstrom and a Saks Fifth Avenue, plus dozens of specialty shops -- and, of course, valet parking.
Kathy Fitzgerald Cocca, a vice president for corporate communications of Public Service Electric and Gas, and her husband, Mike, have lived close to the mall for the last 16 years, but the abundance of shopping and restaurants is far from the only reason they have enjoyed Short Hills, a picturesque, lush suburb with lots of elbow room.
''I like being a half hour from New York City, and I like being five minutes from the mall,'' said Ms. Cocca, who with her husband bought a 1929 Tudor here for $875,000 in 1996, ''but when I drive up Nottingham Road to my house, I always smile. It's so pretty.''
Stewart Hartshorn, a 19th-century tycoon who made his fortune making spring roller shades, clearly did not have a giant mall with Bulgari, Fendi and Dior in mind when he began to buy about 1,500 acres in Essex County with the idea of creating a comfortable commuter suburb. The shopping is more like the icing on the cake.
According to a history written in 1946 by his daughter, Cora Hartshorn, he named his development Short Hills after the Lenape name for the area, Little Hills. Never incorporated, it is now part of the Township of Millburn, total population about 20,000. But Short Hills has its own ZIP code, 07078, and its lot sizes tend to be larger than Millburn's.
Jason Grossman, who works for a New York real estate investment group and moved to New Jersey 10 years ago from New York City, finds the commute from Short Hills manageable.
''It's very close to the city, and it's a convenient place to live as a commuter,'' said Mr. Grossman, who takes the New Jersey Transit Midtown Direct line into the city and also makes business trips out of Newark Airport, about 15 minutes away. ''You're really five minutes away from practically everything.''
''When your commute goes from 10 to 15 minutes to an hour and 10 minutes door to door,'' he added, ''it takes a little bit of an adjustment. But when you think about it, anywhere you live in the 'burbs is going to be at least a commute of 50 minutes to an hour. It's something we all give up to get more space.''
He, too, has a 1929 Tudor. It has three bedrooms, and factoring in price and renovations, he figures he has $800,000 invested in it. He and his wife, Alix, now have three children, 8, 6, and 3, and hope to move to a larger house, also in Short Hills. His children are involved in sports, and the family wants to stay.
The public schools are a particular source of pride. The Millburn Township School District has five elementary schools, a middle school and Millburn High School, which was judged in 2008 and 2010 to be the No. 1 public high school in the state by New Jersey Monthly magazine. A high percentage of Millburn graduates are accepted to top colleges and universities, according to the state Department of Education.
''The education absolutely cannot be beat,'' said Sandra Haimoff, a speech therapist who also serves as Millburn Township's part-time mayor. ''This reason alone is why so many people want to move into the area.''
And as usual, that quality comes at a price. Of the 77 residences for sale in the 07078 ZIP code recently on the Garden State Multiple Listings Service, none were listed for less than $500,000, and 36 were asking more than $2 million. A three-bedroom 1962 ranch renovated in 2006 had an asking price of $999,999.
Vera Chapman, an agent for Keller Williams Realty in neighboring Summit, said the fields most heavily represented in Short Hills were finance, pharmaceuticals, publishing, medicine and law.
''Home values in Short Hills have not seen the significant downturn that other towns have experienced,'' Ms. Chapman said. ''Its proximity to Manhattan, the ease of commuting on the Midtown Direct and its excellent school system have helped the home market.''
Also, by suburban standards, the area has a measure of ethnic diversity. According to 2010 census figures, for instance, 15 percent of the students at Millburn High School speak a first language other than English; 3.6 percent speak Mandarin and 2 percent speak Korean. ''It's kind of a melting pot,'' Mr. Grossman said. ''It's not as diverse as New York City, but it's pretty diverse.''
Bordered by Route 24, which provides access to Interstate 78, Short Hills is tucked into a hilly, sylvan pocket in the southwestern corner of Essex, surrounded by Millburn, Summit and South Mountain Reservation. Millburn and Summit have shopping (and restaurants and theaters), but Short Hills also has its own strip shopping centers.
The topography gives it a different feel than neighboring areas. Streets meander over hills and past large lawns. Houses run the style gamut, from rangy antiques to new stone edifices to tidy (though not inexpensive) ranches.

A.I.M. 2 is the sequel to the epic science fiction first-person action RPG developed by SkyRiver Studios. Its compelling story and unique look lift off exactly where the original ended.
New clans led by Mechminds of the Fifth Generation are powerful and well-organized formations with far-reaching plans. Powerful groups have different interests that often crossed, war broke out again. However this time it is the struggle not for mere control, this is struggle for survival. The clans want to eliminate the weaker ones standing in their way and will stop at nothing to dominate their enemies. To achieve their goals they use not only military means, but economic ones as well. As of now none of the clans has managed to achieve complete victory.
You are a part of the oldest clan called the Reckoners, a dedicated group looking for the firstborn Mechmind of the Fifth Generation. This could be a chance to restore former might for your clan which has lost its power and even be victorious in the war.
This version of the game has been updated specially for Steam to make it compatible with modern PCs.
Key Features:
Original sci-fi storyline plunging you into the world of intelligent robots
Opportunity to create a personalized clan consisting of independently operating machines
Tactical operations as well as clan strategic management
36 different gliders are available to fly
Huge gameworld with diverse locations, including subterranean caverns
Different options to interact with other Mechminds
Advanced trading system
Updated for compatibility with modern PCs
This game plays like Rage Incoming. The levels are straight forward. You shoot enemies as you go from point A to point B to clear the levels. The story-line is decent. The game is a bit dated, but $2.99 is really cheap for a full retail price. Definitely check this game out if you liked games like Rage Incoming or Slave Zero. At the very least if you are a little bit interested, put this game on your Want List and see if it goes on sale.
Is it fun? Oh yes. I had to lower the mouse sensitivity a bit, but the action is fast and furious. There are tons of weapons (dozens of radically different guns, bombs, mines) and lots of ways to upgrade the many gliders you can buy. You can create your own powerful army of gliders, take over bases, convince other mechmind pilots to join you and more. Great fun. So is it an RPG? Sure. There is an interesting story to follow, the chance to build up your very own clan (if you want), order your clan-mates to follow you around in battle, do some trading, and a lot more. All in all it's an excellent title for both fans of military aviation and RPG lovers.
A.I.M. 2 is an older title released by 1C Company and developed by SkyRiver studios. It used to be unplayeable on modern pc's but this has been updated. The gameplay is pretty standard, but was amazing at the time of it's release. The graphics are outdated but that doesn't mean the story isn't worth playing. The weapons remind me of halo. I would recommend this game for fans of the series.

The two French students found stabbed to death after a fire at a London flat may have been the victims of a bungled burglary, police said today.
Games consoles belonging to Laurent Bonomo and Gabriel Ferez are believed to have been stolen from the bedsit in New Cross, south-east London, where their bodies were discovered.
Police are also trying to establish whether bank cards belonging to the students were also stolen.
The bodies of the 23-year-old victims were found in the ground-floor flat on Sunday night. They had been bound, gagged and stabbed a total of more than 200 times in what detectives described as one of the most horrific attacks they had ever seen.
Police said one line of inquiry was that the pair were killed during a burglary. A spokesman said they hoped to make an arrest "sooner rather than later". Officers said they were following up on about 25 calls received in connection with the case.
Detective Chief Inspector Mick Duthie, who is leading the investigation, said: "We are keen to hear from anyone who has recently been offered a laptop and two personal game consoles, or knows someone who has unexpectedly come to have them."
Scotland Yard said the flat had been broken into six days earlier, when the laptop was stolen. It is understood the thief was disturbed by one of the students.
Duthie said: "A black Packard Bell laptop was taken during a burglary that took place between 5am and 6am on the morning of June 23. Someone entered the living room of 12 Sterling Gardens and stole the computer. Bonomo said he was in the shower when he heard a suspicious noise. He found the window of his living room forced open and his laptop was stolen.
"The search of the address is not yet completed, but we have established that two Sony PSPs are missing and believe they were taken during the incident on Sunday when the two men were killed."
Police said the attack did not appear to have been the work of professionals. "I would say it was a frenzied, horrible, horrific attack. I imagine it would take some considerable amount of time to inflict the nature of the injuries," Duthie said.
Detectives said there was no evidence of forced entry, and a set of stolen keys may have been used, enabling the attacker to surprise his victims. A white male was seen running from the address moments after it exploded in flames, but he has not been identified.
Duthie said "If you were visiting a friend or a colleague in this area, if you were passing through, please let me know and I can eliminate you from the inquiry. The longer it takes to find you the more my suspicion rises."
Detectives said there was no evidence of forced entry, and a set of stolen keys may have been used, enabling the attacker to surprise his victims. A white male was seen running from the address moments after it exploded in flames.
A pathologist documented 243 separate injuries to the badly burned bodies, with Bonomo suffering 80 wounds after he died. It is believed the two men may have been tortured for several hours.
Bonomo and Ferez were promising research students who had been working on a DNA research project at Imperial College, London.
Bonomo's fiancee, Mary Bertez, has vowed to "avenge" his death. She wrote a Facebook message yesterday saying: "My love, we were always together but unfortunately I wasn't there that evening. I will never stop thinking about you for a second. I had 10 months of a happiness I had never experienced until then. I will give all the required information to the investigation, my dear, so you can be avenged."

:I'm not sure that the implication was that RCNG should be scrapped, only :that it should [eventually] do what runit and daemontools do, namely, :service monitoring. : :-Chris Service monitoring is an interesting problem. I wrote a program long ago which is available at: http://apollo.backplane.com/FreeSrc/runmaint.c It was originally written to maintain sendmail and named but with a little cleanup and additional work to add a periodic testing function (e.g. to run a test script once every so often), a better 'stop' interface, and a unix-domain socket for communicating requests, we could integrate this into RCNG to provide automatic service monitoring, restart, stop, and reporting features for all non-inetd system-started daemons. It would be very easy to integrate with the RCNG varsym variables that are already being set. -Matt Matthew Dillon <dillon@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Indigenous musician Alister Bartholomew hails from Saibai Island, which is the most northern island in the Torres Strait and the closest island to Papua New Guinea.
- Print page

- Permalink
Al and his young family moved to the Sunshine Coast last year when Al ditched his job in horticulture to go back to university to study to be a high school teacher.
Music has played a large part of Al's life, a self-taught musician he's been performing throughout Australia for the last 20 years.
Now drawing on his experiences and knowledge of music he is mentoring aspiring musicians through a council program, and also teaching children about music and dance from the Torres Strait Islands.
Play the video to hear Al sing 'Serralee' - he adds, "It's not about the cheesecake! My grandfather was a lugger boat captain and they use to watch these pigeon birds land at low tide on top of the reef and dive down for fish and they wrote this song about those birds."
Al says his passion for music comes from his connection with the TI and his family.
"Probably one of my earliest memories of music is mum singing to my sister and I when we were really young, she was a kindergarten teacher in the Gulf ...and she would sing these old songs and Taba Naba Norem was one of those songs and now I regularly sing that song to kids and teach them the actions," he says.
A diverse region, Al says there are many different influences that make up TI culture.
"The Torres Strait and where it is geographically meant that over time there was a lot of different cultures coming in and out, Polynesian, Pilipino and Indonesians all using the Torres Strait as a trading route and some of the families stayed and inter-married, so it was a real melting pot and that influenced the music that's come out of the place.
"On Saibai Island though it was very traditional, and almost xenophobic if you like in terms of the culture, and wanting to keep it as pure as it can be. So we're really proud of our identity in terms of what songs we have and if you go to a cultural festival you can pick songs or dance from a particular island, so they're quite unique," says Al.
He says the Saibai culture is easily characterised, particularly in dance.
"The dance is fast and movements quite precise and a lot of technique and training is involved and the grandfathers and uncles are very strict in terms of learning the proper way," says Al.
Although Al also spent time growing up in Brisbane, he says he identifies as being a TI man and wants to maintain that connection with his culture.
"It is hard, but I always think of that saying, 'distance makes the heart grow fonder' ...I always try to take the best from both worlds and I've got an opportunity with my own kids to make sure that if I wanted more cultural influence in my life then I'll search that out; or as a parent I'd make sure they're in an environment where they can thrive and know those really important things of identity, and who you are.
"For me that comes through my music and I get a real sense of being proud and my identity gets to shine," says Al.
But it's not only his kids that are benefiting from his eagerness to share his culture. Al says he hopes teaching young kids from all different backgrounds on the coast will teach them more than just music.
"It's really great for the kids to appreciate different cultures and different people; they're really open to learning and it's only as we get older that we get a bit more closed in our perception.
"With the Taba Naba Norem song they all sang and performed it beautifully. I was so proud tears started welling up in my eyes because I looked at one of the assistants in the room and she's a local Aboriginal lady and I looked at her and she looked at me and we were just trying to keep it together ... it was a really special time.
"That's the cultural proudness that comes through and I want to hand that on to my kids.
"And in terms of being an elder for my kids that's how it gets handed down. If I lose my desire to perform these songs or to tell the stories then that's what gets filtered down to the next generation and it dies out. The language, music and dance are really important parts of the Torres Strait Island culture and keeping that strong is important," says Al.
Now also mentoring inspiring young musicians as part of a Sunshine Coast Council initiative, Al says the experience is a challenge for him and the teens taking part.
"I work with high school kids and they're trying to learn the ropes to performing from me, and as a mentor I give in independent assessment, critique them, give positive feedback and criticism ...and then it's up to them as to how they want to take it on and use that information.
"It great to be able to give back and share what I've learnt," says Al.

Membrane to cut carbon dioxide emission from coal power unitsJune 17th, 2010 - 6:20 pm ICT by IANS
Sydney, June 17 (IANS) High-tech cling wraps that filter out carbon dioxide (CO2) from waste gases can help save the world, says the researcher who developed the technology.
The membranes can be fitted to existing chimneys where they capture CO2 for removal and storage. They are already being tested on brown coal power stations in Victoria's La Trobe Valley, said Colin Scholes, a Melbourne University chemical engineer.
"The membrane material is specifically designed to separate CO2 from other molecules," he said.
"It acts like a filter and is much more efficient than existing technology. We are hoping these membranes will become an important part of a carbon capture and storage strategy which will cut emissions from power stations by up to 90 percent," he said.
Not only are the new membranes efficient, they are also relatively cheap to produce. "Carbon capture and storage is currently very expensive. Reducing the cost of trapping the CO2 will make it much more affordable. And cheaper systems mean power generators can put them in place much sooner," he said.
Another crucial aspect of the membrane has been its toughness - a power station chimney is not a friendly environment. "Trials with real flue gas have been essential for the development of material robust enough to handle industrial conditions," Colin said.
"Fossil fuels currently supply 85 percent of the world's energy," says Colin, one of the founders of the Australian chapter of Scientists Without Borders, said a Melbourne University release.
"So despite the urgent need to reduce levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the International Energy Agency predicts fossil fuels will continue to be heavily used for many years to come," it said.
"Carbon capture and storage will be an important part of the portfolio of solutions to address climate change including energy efficiency, less carbon-intensive fuels, natural carbon sinks and renewable energy," it added.
His work is being presented for the first time in public through Fresh Science, a communication boot camp for early career scientists held at the Melbourne Museum.

David Moyes on a Mission to Prove He Has Same Pulling Power as Sir Alex FergusonNovember 16, 2013
Manchester United are linked with the best players in the world all the time.
That kind of speculation is understandable, based on United's status as one of Europe's elite clubs and their interest in only the best players.
It's also based on United's past record of attracting high-end personnel. Sir Alex Ferguson did it again and again with Roy Keane, Jaap Stam, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Juan Sebastian Veron, Fabien Barthez, Rio Ferdinand, Wayne Rooney and Robin Van Persie among others.
Just this week Jose Mourinho revealed that Shinji Kagawa chose United over Real Madrid when he left the Bundesliga in 2012.
Ferguson was a master at selling United. He could convince the best players in the world that Old Trafford was the place to be over other great cathedrals like the Bernabeu and the San Siro. He could make Manchester—a damp, cold, northern city—seem as appealing as Barcelona or Munich.
He could sell the history of the club because he was part of it. He could offer a prospective signing the chance to join it. A powerful message delivered by a master orator is difficult to ignore.
United have a lot to offer. Big wages, weekly crowds of more than 75,000, regular Champions League football and a genuine chance to win trophies and titles are all part of the package.
But in six weeks, they head into their second transfer window without their ringmaster. The first one in the summer was less than successful. Have United lost some of their allure now that Fergie has gone?
On the surface, not much has changed. United can still offer competitive wages, a huge worldwide following and silverware. But the experienced salesman has been replaced by an apprentice.
David Moyes hasn't had the time to develop the same aura. It comes with authority, respect and success. He may yet acquire it all, but it's not there yet.
As it stands, his transfer record reads £27.5m paid for Marouane Fellaini from his former club Everton.
On the pitch, United and Moyes are starting to remedy a difficult start to the season. Victory over Premier League leaders Arsenal was the perfect answer to questions about Moyes' record in big games.
But the fans want to see that Moyes can continue Fergie's work off the pitch, too. That means not only blooming young players like Adnan Januzaj, but also attracting new names.
And not just any names, star names.

Edward M. Manigault (American, 1887 - 1922)
Edward Middleton Manigault studied initiallly with Robert Henri and Kenneth Hayes Miller but soon begain experimenting with the loose brushwork and bright colors of European modernism. Adagio signals a new direction in his work: a focus on a darker palette, rhythmic forms, and enigmatic female subjects. While the precise meaning of Adagio remains a mystery, its title, a musical term referring to the use of a slow tempo and soft tones, suggests that Manigault was interested in the relationship between art and music, a popular topic at the time. In the late 19th century James McNeill Whistler painted numerous "Harmonies" and "Symphonies," while Manigault's friend Arthur B. Davies had recently completed a well-known canvas titled Crescendo.
Adagio was included in the fabled "Armory Show" of 1913, one of the most important exhibitions of modern art ever organized in this country. The Armory Show introduces the work of leading European artists, including Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Wassily Kandinsky and Marcel Duchamp, as well as that of their American counterparts, to the American public. The abstract forms and strident colors featured in much of the art on view were considered shocking. It is rre to find works that were included in the Armory Show that have not yet entered museum collections. Adagio remained in the family of the original owner until recently; it was aquired by the Mint in 2010.

Is this a metaphor or personification? "Sharp edges merge/ Into smooth well moulded curves."
- print Print
- list Cite
This line is an example of a metaphor.
You asked whether this phrase was an example of a metaphor or personification. A metaphor is a direct comparison of two unlike things, whereas personification is describing something nonhuman by giving it human qualities.
In this case, the poem describes a statue maker making a statue. A metaphor is used because the sharp edges are not literally merging, or coming together. It just seems that way as the sculptor creates his statue. It looks as if the lines are literally coming together into smooth curves, when really the sculptor is gently tapping away.
If this were personification, it would be describing the lines as if they were human.
I agree with this answer and personification means any object having attributes of living being, or we can say any inanimate object having attributes of animate object.This is what Personification.Metaphor means a comparison which is not easily understandable and it has deep meaning.

Dental care is of the utmost importance to me, so knowing that your teeth can take a beating during pregnancy, I am always careful to keep my pregnancy dental care up as well. For both Boston and Scarlett I felt I did a good job maintaining my pregnancy dental care. I never had any issues and was happily going along with this pregnancy in the same fashion. Then on Saturday things got nasty and I started having some problems with my mouth. A couple of days after that it got even worse and I became very concerned about pregnancy induced gingivitis and what it might be leading to.
I made an appointment with my dentist as soon as possible. I knew sore gums and pregnancy were very common, but I was way past sore. Pregnancy induced gingivitis usually only has swelling and some bleeding when brushing. I was in excruciating pain and could barely eat soup my gums were so sensitive. I was developing sores in my mouth and on my lips. The roof of my mouth and my tongue were completely raw and I was getting a sore throat. The glands under my chin were sore and tender as well. A coworker told me I had Angelina Jolie lips and I was lisping because of the swelling. This was no regular case of pregnancy induced gingivitis. I knew it was something more.
I got to the dentist and laid down in the chair. I told the doctor my concerns and he agreed, it was not pregnancy induced gingivitis. That should not be painful. He looked in my mouth to see what was going on. One peek inside and he said bluntly, you've got Herpes.
I almost fell off the chair.
Pardon me?
He said my mouth was full of cold sores.
I told him I've never had a cold sore in my life. That had never even occurred to me. When you are pregnant, the pregnancy hormones are what cause your gums to swell and bleed. When they are in this condition it makes them more vulnerable to bacteria, hence why pregnancy induced gingivitis is so common. The doctor thought this ripe breeding ground was what welcomed the Herpes virus for me. He said that the first break out is always the worst, and that he thought mine was going even harder because of the hormones I was dealing with. There wasn't much more I could do but tough it out. They did a thorough cleaning including an antibacterial cleanse to try and create a cleaner environment. It was painful and I cried like a boob the whole time but I knew it was necessary.
My mouth is starting to feel a little better and it is getting easier to eat. I've got one hope to look forward to that it should never be this bad again. I've always been grossed out by the thought of cold sores and was glad I didn't get them. I'm disappointed to have it now but glad that there wasn't something far more serious to deal with. Being in so much pain had my doctor worried, my dentist worried, and me worried. But this can be handled and isn't going to hurt my Nora.
The moral of the story, pregnancy dental care is important and should be taken seriously. If you are in that much pain and your gums are that swollen, don't blow it off. Go to the dentist and talk to your doctor to make sure you are ok.

Old Country Buffet Gets a Makeover
WOODBRIDGE, Va. — Old Country Buffet in Woodbridge is getting a new look.
The restaurant is closed for renovations but plans to reopen Saturday, Nov. 3. When it does, hungry visitors will see changes to the interior of the eatery that include a streetscape design, a new food court, new paint and awnings, better salad and desert bars, and interactive custom menu options.
It'll be a change for a restaurant that over the years has taken on a more dated look. The eatery opened in the mid-1990s along with several other shops at the Smoketown Stations shopping center.
Gar-Field Senior High School's marching band and cheer squad are scheduled to be at the restaurant on its re-grand opening day when it opens at 11 a.m., according to a company press release. A ribbon-cutting ceremony will also be held at noon that day.
Old Country Buffet will also donate 15 percent of all sales on Nov. 3 to Armed Services YMCA Operation Kid Comfort.
At 12:30 p.m., the restaurant will allow participants to play a dice game called the "Old Country Buffet $10,000 Dice Roll" for a chance to win cash. Those who roll the six-lettered dice must roll a "BUFFET" to win the entire prize, the press release stated.
Live music and appearances from the company's bee mascot and McGruff the Crime Dog will also be featured at the grand opening.
Old Country Buffet is upgrading several of its restaurant locations and plans to implement a new strategy of better food, facilities, and employee training within the company.
