Welcome to Skin-Wise
Skin cancer incidence is increasing, thanks to cheap sunny holidays among other factors. The most worrisome of the skin cancers is Melanoma, which mostly arise from the moles on the body. Most of the moles on the body are perfectly normal; however, few can evolve to become abnormal (atypical/dysplastic) to start with, then cancerous later because of cumulative effect of sun exposures, genetic and other factors.
At Skin-Wise, we provide friendly, state-of-the-art and advanced mole mapping services. The Advanced Automated Total Body Photography and Dermoscopy system complement the excellent clinical skills of our consultants. The technology effectively and individually maps the size, shape, body location and other features of the moles. It enables us to track the changes and monitor the evolution of the moles over the year.
It is very safe, non-invasive, fast, accurate and able to detect abnormal moles before they turn cancerous.

One of the lessons that every woodworking teacher must learn is humility. Being more knowledgeable than a new student doesn't mean that you're smarter [that's certain] or more skilled. It means simply that you've put in more time. You have made more mistakes and after repeating them enough times you do learn to avoid them. But then you forge on to make new ones.
If you, as a teacher, forget that everyone starts from a place of ignorance then each question is irksome to you. Don't forget. Remember how it was when you started. When I began, my test for strength in a piece I built was to get up and jump up and down on it with my boots on. I was never one for fine tuned metrics.
If it survived, I felt good enough to press on. In ignorance. There is much to learn still. Stay humble.

Each slice is perforated in order to assist in the dehydration of such a large piece. The surface is hard so as to provide dental benefits, yet the chews have a texture similar to rawhide. Each chew has the nutritional value of half of a large sweet potato.

This year Komar and Melamid's Yalta 1945, first shown at documenta 8 at Kassel in 1987 and later at the Brooklyn Museum in New York, will be on view at the Ben Uri Gallery in London.
Since 2003 the artists have worked individually, but images of the Yalta Conference continue to appear in the works of Vitaly Komar.
Ben Uri Chairman, David Glasserr, met with the artist.
David Glasser (D.G.):
Vitaly, tell me how the Yalta theme first appeared in the work of Komar and Melamid?
Vitaly Komar (V.K.):
Oh, that's a long story. I was born in Moscow toward the end of World War II. When I was just over a year old, the Yalta Conference, that famous meeting of Stalin, Churchill and Roosevelt, took place in the Crimea. The Allies were preparing for victory in 1945 and were negotiating the future world order and the founding of the United Nations. Many years later, after I immigrated to New York, I saw a photograph of that meeting for the first time.
Quite unexpectedly, the photograph enchanted me. It felt as though some inexplicable power plunged me into a kaleidoscope of contradictory images and impressions from my past and present, my life in different worlds: in the world of Stalin, the world of Roosevelt, and the world of Churchill.
This eclectic, and sometimes absurd, kaleidoscope has appeared on and off in my work, both individual, and together with Alex Melamid. The best known work on Yalta theme was the multi-panelled Yalta 1945, shown at documenta 8 in the late '80s.
This year Yalta 1945 will be shown at the Ben Uri Gallery. How would you describe the concept of the installation, and the images in it?
Yalta 1945 is a polyptych consisting of 31 paintings. Each panel is a 48-x-48-inch square, but the mediums vary: you have oil, tempera, mixed media and assemblage. Some are on canvas, but a number are on wood. The different styles of the paintings reflect changes in mood, as well as different periods of art history, which in turn reflects the larger conceptual eclecticism of contemporary consciousness. For me, eclecticism is synonymous with pluralism and tolerance. All of us have divergent images and conceptual opposite coexisting in our minds. We believe in Darwin, and in God.
My mind is like a 'Russian salad' filled with wide array of tastes and textures. I love the art of very different and what you might think are incompatible artists, styles, movements, times and peoples.
I view the history of art as a whole as an eclectic polyptych, full of contrasts and contradictions. The triptych at the heart of the Yalta photographs is just as contradictory and eclectic as art history, if you think about it. We have the three allies sitting next to one another: the King's Servant, the Democratic President, and the Bloody Dictator. For me, the image in this photograph has become a visual symbol of what I call 'conceptual eclecticism'.
The polyptych begins with the images of Churchill and Roosevelt drawn from the Yalta photograph, but executed in a painterly, expressionistic style; in the second panel Stalin is painted in a traditionally realistic style, and the panel fades into darkness to the right of him.
Next is a conceptual, pop-art rendering of the superpowers' names abbreviated as a mirror image: US/SU. Then comes a classical 'Judgment of Solomon', which was a frequent subject in Renaissance painting. The figure of a soldier holding an infant and a sword symbolizes the post-war division of Europe that emerged from the Yalta Conference. There is a large industrial fan, symbolizing the 'winds of history' in one of the lower panels.
The squares in Yalta 1945 remind me of blocks or puzzle pieces in a children's game, where the order could conceivably be changed. The images change, but the panels follow a pattern reminiscent of a path through a labyrinth. In one square an illustration of a Russian children's story shows a fox holding a roasted duck on a tray, as if carrying it toward the next painting, which depicts a huge nose. A subsequent composition incorporates images of medieval Russian icons into Russian avant-garde motifs. This is followed by an erotic female nude that metamorphoses into an abstract expressionist panel, and then op-art-like geometric ornamentation. Images follow in quick, sometimes absurd succession like a kaleidoscope version of hopscotch: there's a pink fish, its head and tail on different squares; a menorah; a panel of fur; a three-dimensional spherical mirror—and all are interspersed with a variety of yellow, green, blue, and red monochromes.
The piece ends with the hybrid image of a blindfolded skull—an attribute of Justice overlaid on the emblem of Vanitas.
Why is the work called Yalta 1945? The conference was held in secret, but it is well known now that it took place in 1944.
Because 1945 was when the plans made at the conference came to fruition. The Allies won and even though Roosevelt didn't live to see the end of the war, the idea of a new world order and the creation of the United Nations was victorious.
Why did the photographs from Yalta captivate your imagination and evoke so many contrasting images? Can you recall their origins, or explain the reason for this fascination?
Very well. I'll try to play archaeologist and dig down to the earliest layers of my consciousness.
From childhood I was surrounded by images of Stalin, even in my bedroom. When I was five years old, my parents divorced, and Mama exchanged the photograph of my father hanging next to my bed with one of Stalin. Like my father, Stalin was dressed in a military uniform. Moreover, one of the most common honorifics for Stalin was 'Father of All the Peoples'.
I started school at age seven. On the first day, the entire class had to proclaim loudly: 'Comrade Stalin, Thank You for Our Happy Childhood!'. The same slogan hung over the entrance to our school. The background was red and the letters and exclamation mark were white. In 1953, when I was ten, the Father of all the Peoples died. The people were orphaned. The new leader, Nikita Khrushchev, ordered statues of Stalin to be destroyed and banished his image.
After Stalin died, Mama substituted a picture of the Mona Lisa for the portrait of Stalin in my bedroom. The previous year, everyone had celebrated the 500th anniversary of Leonardo da Vinci's birth. Almost as many pictures of Mona Lisa, with her famous smile, were printed for the occasion as portraits of Stalin and his famous moustache. Gradually, the succession of portraits that hung over my childhood bed merged in my muddled head. Today, when I see Marcel Duchamp's moustachioed Mona Lisa, I am reminded of my happy childhood.
For over 20 years before Stalin's death, his image surrounded every Soviet person, not just me. Portraits of Stalin were everywhere: in books for children and adults, in magazines and newspapers, in the movies and at exhibitions, on each floor of my school, on the walls and roofs of buildings, and even in the sky. I later realized that this visual propaganda had been firmly 'imprinted' on my young brain.
One time, when I was six years old, I actually saw the real, living Stalin. Not in my bedroom, but on Aleksei Tolstoy Street. My grandfather and I were walking somewhere. Suddenly we were stopped by guards. A line of identical black cars drove out of the gates of Vyacheslav Molotov's gothic mansion at high speed. As they passed me, I caught a glimpse of that well known face. Our eyes met. Then Stalin disappeared.
My grandfather was an old man, a Jew who had been deeply frightened by the Soviet authorities. Today I understand why he asked me not to tell anyone about the incident, and tried to convince me that it wasn't Stalin, just some soldier with a moustache.
Many years later, when I had become a professional artist, memories of that 'mirage' were transformed into the painting I Saw Stalin Once When I Was a Child (1981-82). It became part of a series of paintings that Alex Melamid and I called 'Nostalgic Socialist Realism'. Today that piece is in the collection of MoMA in New York.
During my childhood Stalin was often portrayed together with Lenin or other heroes of Soviet history, sometimes even with people whom he had never actually met, such as Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. But I had never seen the photo of Stalin with Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt — his allies in the historical victory over Hitler. As a young man I visited the Crimea, and Yalta, which is a wonderful city on the Black Sea. I have marvellous memories of the place. But even in the palace/museum, where the Allied leaders met, there were no photograph of them.
How do you explain this strange absence?
It was probably one of many decisions taken by Soviet censorship during the Cold War. In those years, Soviet people were shown Churchill and American presidents through the frightening, surrealist lens of political satire. Gloomy, humourless black-and-white drawings portrayed the Western leaders as evil swine and goat-like devils. It was quite some time before I realized that the mirages of my childhood world were dangerous illusions.
As I said earlier, the first time I saw the photograph of Yalta was in 1978, in New York. The photograph suddenly plunged me into a kaleidoscope of images that were directly and tangentially connected to different aspects of my life. I saw the three allies as emblems, three personifications of the three different and incompatible concepts that stood behind them.
I was struck by the conceptual eclecticism of this 'metaphorical triptych'. Some of the earliest appearances of this type of symbolic eclecticism were the hybrids in ancient mythologies that combined images of man and beast. In our historical time, photographs of the Yalta meeting combined juxtaposed political mythologies. I saw the image of these three men as a single creature–a three-headed, multi-armed ruler, who combined the contradictions of monarchy, tyranny and democracy.
What brought such different people together as allies? The answer is simple: a common enemy. And in fact, one of the first paintings on the Yalta theme, was 'The Yalta Conference: Excerpts from a Future History Textbook' (1982) where Hitler appears as a participant in the Yalta Conference, standing like a shadow figure behind Roosevelt (as ET) and Stalin. Like I Saw Stalin Once When I Was a Child, this work was part of the 'Nostalgic Socialist Realism' that Melamid and I produced together.
Images of Yalta have appeared at different times in many of Komar and Melamid's works, including the series '50 Public Mural Projects for the United Nations Building in New York', (1987-95), which I find particularly interesting. Tell us a bit about that project.
That series originated in a big drama. In 1990, we submitted three mural proposals for a public art work at the U.N. One of them was chosen and approved by the CITYart Foundation, which was overseeing the project. The Yalta image was part of that mural proposal. Unfortunately, it was rejected by the neighbourhood Community Board, which also had to approve the final choice. At the time, I met with one of the members of the Community Board and he told me that many former Eastern Europeans lived in the U.N. area. For them, he said, Stalin was the incarnation of evil, and they wouldn't want to see him portrayed at the U.N. I pointed out that even in Catholic churches depictions of Satan were allowed. But my argument had no effect. That was when I realized that in America, censorship moves from the bottom up, unlike the Soviet Union where it came from the top down.
Even though the mural project wasn't accepted, the subject was intriguing, and those first mural proposals grew into the series '50 Public Mural Projects', which we exhibited at the Storefront for Art & Architecture in 1995 in honour of the 50th-anniversary of the end of World War II and the establishment of the United Nations.
In 2003, you and Alex began working individually, yet Yalta continued to appear in your work, for instance, the 'Three-Day Weekend' project. Why was that?
Whenever I looked at the actual photographs of the Yalta 'troika', my imagination 'secreted' three strands of unexpected images. This 'secretion' is similar to the conditioned reflex of salivation in Pavlov's dogs. But these visions often seemed absurd to me, and I couldn't explain their connection to the Yalta Conference. For example, in one painting based on that photograph, Roosevelt's body appeared with the head of the alien ET, from Steven Spielberg's popular film; or in a number of polyptychs from the "Diary" series (1984-85), including The Minotaur as Participant in the Yalta Conference.
Many years later, I began to understand the connection between Roosevelt and the image of ET. I found a long-forgotten photograph from my childhood, where I am sitting between my parents, in the centre of our 'familial troika'. I am in the middle, like Roosevelt in the Yalta photograph. My mother is in the place occupied by Stalin. I think it's possible that living in America I subconsciously felt that I myself was a sort of ET — an infantile creature from another world, an alien from another planet and another political system.
Once I understood this connection, I began work on the 'Three-Day Weekend' project. [In 2006, part of this project was exhibited at the Ben Uri Gallery, D.G.] In that project, images of the Yalta conference combined with my childhood family photograph and emblems of different religions. I saw the eclecticism of utopian ecumenism as being connected to my personal biography.
My mother was raised in a family with Jewish traditions, and my father in a family with Christian traditions. But in the Soviet Union, the country of 'atheist fundamentalism', my parents became members of the Communist Party. Thus the culmination of this project were works in which religious pop symbols were united with political pop emblems like the Soviet hammer and sickle, a symbol of social utopia.
A similar combination can be seen in Austria's state emblem — a two-headed eagle holding a hammer and sickle in its talons. It would actually be a good symbol for Putin's Russia. It's an old tradition: in the Metropolitan Museum I saw a similar combination in an ancient Byzantine relief carved in ivory: Adam holds a hammer, and Eve a sickle.

Roy Yanong's longtime interest in the aquarium hobby eventually led him to fish veterinary medicine. After undergraduate studies at Yale University, Roy worked at Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine, studying leukemia in soft-shell clams from Boston Harbor. Two years later, he attended the University of Pennsylvania's School of Veterinary Medicine where he concentrated in aquatic animal medicine and received his V.M.D. in May 1992. A month later he was hired by 5-D Tropical, Inc., a large aquarium fish production and wholesale facility based in Plant City, Florida, where he was quickly immersed into the industry. He worked as staff veterinarian there for four and a half years.
In 1996, he joined the University of Florida's Tropical Aquaculture Laboratory (TAL) in Ruskin where he currently provides extension, research, and educational programs in fish health management, including on-site veterinary assistance and disease diagnostic support for aquaculturists throughout the state. Roy and his colleagues at the TAL, UF School of Forest Resources and Conservation's Program in Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, and the UF College of Veterinary Medicine work collaboratively to promote the advancement of aquatic animal medicine and fish health management through courses, internships, externships, continuing education sessions, and other venues. Roy has authored numerous outreach and scientific publications and book chapters, and hosts the aquarium fish podcast "Aquariumania" on petliferadio.com.
Over the years, Roy has participated in a number of local, state, and national fish health-related committees. He is currently the Chair of the Aquatics Working Group for the American Veterinary Medical Association's Panel on Euthanasia; a former member and Chair of the AVMA's Aquatic Veterinary Medicine Committee (AqVMC); and a past member of the AVMA's Animal Agriculture Liaison Committee (AALC). He is also a member of a number of other aquaculture and fish health organizations.
Roy Yanong's research is applied and industry-driven, and concentrated primarily in aquarium fish species. His research has been focused in several different areas including diseases of production and health and disease management. He is especially interested in working with colleagues on development of preventative measures including use of probiotics, vaccines, and immunostimulants, and more sensitive screening methods. Roy also works with the Rising Tide Conservation Initiative where he focuses on health and disease issues.
Yanong will provide a veterinary perspective for the trip, examine health and disease issues, and summarize current understanding and research on the Banggai Cardinalfish iridovirus (BCIV) and other important diseases and their risk factors. He will attempt to trace the source of a virus in the supply chain between the islands and import facilities in Los Angeles.

Our First Liturgy in Rolla
Last Saturday morning we celebrated our first Divine Liturgy in Rolla. It was a lot of work to get ready for it – building an altar, a temporary iconostasis (four icon panels), cleaning the building, baking the prosphora (bread), and so on – but it was worth it. Walking into an Orthodox church building that has been around for awhile is much more conducive to prayer than starting from scratch in a new space, because places as well as people are sanctified by prayer. The more often a space has been used for prayer, the easier it becomes to pray there. So, for that reason, our first Liturgy was hard but very, very good.
We got to Rolla with a truck full of stuff to set up the space, and ended up having six or seven people from the Rolla area meet us there to help. Everyone pitched in and made the space feel like a real temple – it was beautiful. (We would show you pictures, and we will soon, but we don't have them yet. Our photographer, Clayton Pearlstein, lost his job this week at a Christian school in Springfield after expressing to them his desire to become Orthodox. Please remember Clayton and his family in your prayers.)
We blessed the new space and the whole building just before celebrating Liturgy. For the service itself, we had 19 people come from the Rolla area, and nearly 20 people drive about two hours to be with us, either from St. Thomas in Springfield or from Presentation Monastery in Marshfield.
Afterward we served a short memorial service at one of the graves in the Rolla cemetery, a member of one of the local families who was killed in a car wreck when she was 24. What a beautiful gift it is to be so close to the cemetery – literally 20 feet away – to be able to pray for everyone who has gone before us in Rolla.
We had a good friend of ours who happened to take a few pictures of the space before the service began. More will come later, but we have these now:
We'll be holding a Typika prayer service tomorrow morning at 10:30, and will continue to be present in the community as much as possible, doing the work God has given us.
UPDATE 2/17: We got our photos back from our photographer, Clayton. Enjoy.

The award was the debut of annual awards by AV-TEST Institute, the Magedeburg, Germany-based security software analysis firm recognized as an authority by Bitdefender and all competitors. Bitdefender won a total rating of 80.5 points in three categories of tests, ahead of nearest competitor Kaspersky, with 78 points, and third-placed F-Secure, with 77.5.
B-HAVE is Bitdefender's patented heuristic detection engine. In order to protect computers, the majority of heuristic scanners, including the Bitdefender B-HAVE heuristic engine, temporarily delay applications from starting while the code is executed in a virtual environment that is completely isolated – or sandboxed – from the real computer. If no suspicious behavior is observed, the computer is instructed to start the application normally. If, on the other hand, suspicious behavior is observed, the computer is instructed to block the program. The entire process happens in fractions of a second and so has practically no impact on either the user's experience or performance.
Bitdefender Active Virus Control (AVC) is an innovative proactive detection technology which uses advanced heuristic methods to detect new potential threats in real time. It monitors each program running on your PC, as it executes, and notes malware-like actions. If enough such actions are detected, the program which performed them is declared harmful. Unlike any other heuristic technology that only checks files when they are accessed or first started, Active Virus Control monitors everything applications do as long as they are active.

Romance, Mystery, LGBT, Ghosts
Ebook $1.99 (140 pages, ENTANGLED EVER AFTER)
Nothing gives art fraud investigator Luke Morganstern a bigger rush than busting forgers, the low-life criminals who dare victimize true artists. But when his latest job sends him to a remote cabin in the Oregon Coast Range, he's stunned to discover the alleged forger is his former lover, Stefan Cobbe, the most gifted painter Luke has ever known.
Stefan, left homeless and destitute after the death of his wealthy partner, doesn't exactly deny the forgery -- he claims he doesn't remember, an excuse Luke can't accept.
But Luke's elderly client suggests Stefan may be telling the truth and presents another possibility – a dark presence in the woods, a supernatural fury simmering for decades. Luke must face down his fear of the uncanny – and admit his feelings for Stefan – if either of them is to survive.
Author Site: website
An atmospheric delight! (5 stars)
A starving artist quite literally haunted by the past. His art fraud investigator former lover. A remote cabin in Oregon cast in the lingering darkness of another artist's secrets. It's short and moody and a sapid delight to those looking for something special.
This time of year I clamor for fiction featuring monsters and spooky themes—okay, I do that all year but much more so in the days leading up to Halloween. The release of a half dozen such tales from Entangled Publishing's Ever After imprint had me first in line waving both hands eagerly. I couldn't even narrow it down to a few, I begged for all six and while I enjoyed them all, NORTHERN LIGHT was my favorite. I suppose it says something that I have read very few LGBT romances, though I have no special reason other than that it's not often I am offered one. But NORTHERN LIGHT is the second from this publisher that has me thinking I need to be more active in seeking them.
There's a certain elegant and somewhat other-worldliness to Stefan and Luke that makes them exciting. I love a good re-kindling of romance between ex-lovers that's very danger driven and Russell makes an enchanting turn of it. The foreboding presence and the hurts of the past make for plenty of conflict and drama but also make you really want to see Luke and Stefan overcome. Sexy but not steamy, brooding but not somber, NORTHERN LIGHT is exactly the kind of read I want on a dark, rainy October night as I huddle with a cup of tea. I loved it and very much want to read many, many more stories from E.J. Russell!
I'd very much recommend to readers who love a moody, mysterious ghost story and even as a toe-dip story for readers like myself who haven't fully plunged into the LGBT romance shelves.

"Blue Season" lyrics - NICK DRAKE
Snow in springtime, storm in the sea
Mist at my window, no leaf on my tree
Showers in the garden with no flowers to touch
When will you bring us your sunshine and such.
Season tell me true
What's been wrong with you
Won't you turn again
Blow away the rain
Blue season, turn away.
Wind in the evening, dust in your eye
Heart full of shadow and cloud in your sky
Everything's wrong and you know you're to blame
Nothing will change while you're still the same
Cold in the city, tears on the street
Faces are empty in those that you meet
Lovers and losers who fail in the night
When will it be that you'll treat them right.
Season tell me true
How much do we need you
Won't you turn your wheel
Hide your heart of steel
Blue season, turn away.
Countries and people caught in the rain
When will they learn to feel fine again
Wandering lost now for nothing is clear
Waiting for signs of the turn of the year.
Season tell me true
What's been wrong with you
Won't you turn again
Blow away in the rain
Blue season, turn away.

Medications That Cause Gallstones
Bile is a liquid containing cholesterol, bilirubin, bile salts and other substances. Gallstones, rock-like material within the gallbladder, form when there is too much cholesterol or bilirubin in the bile or if the gallbladder does not contract normally to expel the bile. Risk factors for gallstones include obesity, a high-fat diet, ethnicity, female gender, pregnancy, older age, diabetes, rapid weight loss and a family history of gallstones. An increased risk of gallstones is also seen when taking some medications.
If you are experiencing serious medical symptoms, seek emergency treatment immediately.
Estrogen-containing Medications
Estrogen increases the amount of cholesterol in the bile as well as decreases gallbladder motility, both of which lead to increased gallstone formation. Administration of any estrogen-containing compound such as birth control pills or hormone replacement therapy for menopause increases the risk of gallstone formation because these compounds lead to excess estrogen and excess bile cholesterol. Hormone replacement therapy using patches, rather than pills, does not carry the same increased risk of gallstone formation.
Cholesterol-lowering Medications
Some types of cholesterol-lowering drugs, gemfibrozil and fenofibrate, lower the amount of cholesterol in the bloodstream but increase the cholesterol in bile, leading to increased risk of gallbladder stone formation. Statins, the most popular kind of drugs used for lowering cholesterol, do not have this side effect.
Octreotide is a drug used to treat acromegaly and certain kinds of tumors. This drug decreases gallbladder motility, which, according to Drugs.com, leads to gallstone formation in about 29 percent of people taking octreotide; another 20 percent develop gallbladder sludge 3. The risk of gallstone formation decreases after withdrawal of the drug.
Total Parenteral Nutrition
Total parenteral nutrition, or TPN, is a pharmacologic mixture of glucose, fatty acids, amino acids and several other vitamins and minerals given intravenously 24 hours a day to people who cannot get enough nutrition by mouth alone 4. The high caloric content of TPN leads to decreased gallbladder motility and gallbladder sludge, significantly increasing the risk of gallstone formation. Stopping the glucose infusion a few hours every day or the addition of certain medications helps decrease gallstone formation in TPN patients.

Live purposefully. You only have one life to get it right. You were born, you live and then you die. Time moves quickly. Time ticks into days, traveling into weeks, progressing into months, falling into years, running into decades. What did you do with the time between ticking, traveling, progressing, falling and running?
When life happens and your midnight hour comes and your mind becomes the battlefield and your body weakens under the pressure and the winds pierce your soul and the storms of life cause torrential downpours and difficulty becomes your second skin and your blood boils in despair and everything seems to come against you and heartbreak rocks your world and the pit of down consumes you and up is located on another planet, live purposefully.
At the end of life material wealth will all be put on a shelf. All that stuff -diamonds, gold, silver- we just can't get enough- cars, houses, clothes and even your cherished bling won't mean a thing.
What will matter will be who's life you made richer, deeper, stronger, meaningful. Empowerment with a purpose! Who will remember you when you are gone? When your last breath has been drawn and you lay hands crossed and the music stops and the dirt covers your hole in the ground and the flowers have withered away and the time between ticking, traveling, progressing, falling and running has passed, did you live purposefully? Each of us has a purpose, a destiny.


text: Arsenal fullback Bacary Sagna has rejected interest from Real Madrid and Juventus, it has been revealed.Both European giants are chasing the France international ahead of the winter market.But a source close to Sagna told Futbol Mercado: "It is true that Juventus are interested in him, but he does not want to leave Arsenal. Although Juventus are a great club, he's not interested in leaving, because his aim is to win a title with Arsenal, so there will be no negotiation in this regard."Are other clubs interested? Sure, I could confirm he was on the short list of Real Madrid when they were looking for a right back. In fact, Real Madrid asked for him, though it was an impossible bargain because he would not leave."

Hollyoaks found the perfect choice to play Sandy Roscoe's sister in the show's latest episode – Gillian Taylforth's own real-life sibling.
Wednesday's E4 first look airing saw Sandy's son Freddie meet up with his Auntie Christine, who had a big bombshell to drop on him.
With Christine looking and sounding like Sandy, it seemed that Hollyoaks' casting department had pulled off a masterstroke with this one – but there was a very good reason for their similarities!
Christine was played by Kim Taylforth, who's the real-life sister of Gillian.
Kim is best known for roles in Bad Girls, Family Affairs and London's Burning and she also worked alongside Gillian in a stage production of musical comedy Girls' Night in 2012.
When Freddie caught up with Auntie Christine, she was just back from visiting Sandy in South Africa.
Freddie couldn't believe it when Christine handed his daughter Lexi over to him, explaining that Sandy can't cope with her and JJ so it's time he took responsibility.
Gillian played the role of Sandy on Hollyoaks on and off between 2013 and 2015.
These days, she's back in her most iconic role as Kathy Beale in EastEnders.
Hollyoaks airs weeknights at 6.30pm on Channel 4, with first look screenings at 7pm on E4.

I hate infant carseats!
Why can't I be raising my baby in the day where infant carseats consisted of a little box that sat in the back seat so the baby didn't roll everywhere? As safe and secure as these things are supposed to be these days, they make it nearly impossible to do any sort of maintenance. First, the base is impossible for me to get in and out of the car. I always have to have Ronnie do it because I can't undo the little clips that attach down under the seat.
Second, you'd think with as much as babies are known for spitting up and spilling things, they'd make the carseats easier to clean. Skyler managed to puke right as we were about to head out the door to go to the mall, and I'm sitting here with the darn manual trying to figure out how to get the padded cover of the carseat off so I can throw it in the wash. It's impossible! I can read and understand the manual perfectly fine, but what they are asking me to do with the size of my fingers and the small spaces available to unclip things – yeah right! I feel stuck because I have to clean it if I ever want to take Skyler anywhere again, but yet I can't get the thing taken apart! I want to cry. Especially since I planned to do some much needed shopping to find some spring clothes that would fit my big butt and thighs. Did I mention I want to cry? It is noon, and Ronnie won't even be home till after eight, so I have no help!
Amy B. permalinkMarch 31, 2008 9:42 pm
Girl, I am right there with ya! I hate these carseats as well. Don't get me wrong, I am thankful for them but they sure do provide a lot of frustration.
Can you do some online shopping? I know, I know… NOT the same thing as the real deal but at least it's something. Maybe Skyler was just sabatoging you so that you would stay home and play with her more. 😉
Heather permalinkApril 1, 2008 12:50 am
Yeah, I thought the 'latch' system sounded so much easier…but I can hardly get to the metal part much less cram the little clips back there and hook them on!
I just about cried once when I realized I was PANTING after getting his seat in…sad.
I hope you are able to go shopping soon. Sounds like you are in need of some good retail therapy!
Miranda permalinkApril 1, 2008 5:16 pm
Oh wait until they are Landon's age and its no longer the car seat thats the issue its the child that is throwing a fit because he DOESNT want to go bye bye in his car seat and you try and bend their body to sit them in the seat…ooono, it doesnt bend!

Dowman, Harry W., Anderson, William G.
The sea-level performance of an I-16 turbojet engine at zero ram was investigated to determine the effects of an intake duct, a shroud, and a tail pipe intended for installation in an XFR-1 airplane. The investigation was conducted over a range of engine speeds from 8000 to 16,500 rpm for several arrangements of the intake duct and tail pipes: the XFR-1 duct, shroud, and tail pipe with the boundary-layer slot closed and open and with boundary-layer removal by suction; the XFR-1 duct with a tail pipe from a P-59A airplane and boundary-layer removal; and with no intake duct or shroud with both the P-59A and the XFR-1 tail pipes. The data were corrected to standard atmospheric conditions and then adjusted to a common exhaust-gas temperature.

Posted: May 8th, 2012.
Combining the sophistication & traditions of their home countries France and South Africa – Jeremy & Lindy asked us to design a Winelands wedding of elegance & class with some modern twists. There was to be no compromise on the top-quality of the five star boutique location – a hidden gem in the Wellington Winelands – and the culinary delicacies they would have on offer to their well-travelled guests.
For this designer, wedding sleek grey tones with rich purple touches and shades of ivory created a contemporary colour palette that complimented the elegant winelands setting.
The debonair Jeremy, decked out in top hat, tails and of course a cane, was met at the alter by the uber-elegant Lindy, to exchange vows in an outdoor ceremony surrounded by picturesque forest and mountain views of the Bainskloof Valley. At pre-drinks a spirited and highly interactive African drumming circle proved to be the highpoint for the international crowd – whilst award-winning chef, Luke Dale Roberts of The Test Kitchen, featured his world-class signature food with culinary highlights such as Kudu tartar, warm crayfish salad and truffled Springbok Loin but to name a few.
The chic wedding reception was arranged under a Bedouin marquee that covered the stylish courtyard and water feature. Table tops were adorned with contemporary floral installations, stylish stationery elements, each with a personalised wax seal and exquisite lighting concepts. A renowned swing band kept guests boogying on the silver striped dance floor; designer cocktails matching the wedding colours were a special feature in their own right and finally – a delectable Candy Station presented alongside a five-tiered African-themed wedding cake ensured every person's sweet tooth was spoken for. Unique wedding gifts like "dancing flips flops", candy boxes for the trip home and personalised Gerald Hoberman coffee table books were given to the guests to ensure that this was one African celebration that they wouldn't soon forget!
The magic is in the detail – one of South Africa's top chefs, a 5-course signature menu, hand-crafted stationery, live entertainment from African Drumming to a Swing Band and a designer wedding cake at this sophisticated, purple infused celebration.
Wedding Details:
Wedding Date: April 2011
# Guests: 70 International Guests
Location: Paarl/Wellington Winelands
Theme: Neo-classical revival – Winelands sophistication at its best
Co-ordinator: Christina Holt from Wedding Concepts
Photographer: Jean-Pierre Uys

This essay began with Part One.
So ideas are inadequate to define God, and words are too. What then of the Bible ~ the written "Word of God"?
I am not a "Bib-idolator", one who makes an idol of the Bible and who believes God cannot ever operate outside of what we read in its 66 books. Bib-idolators, second only to Koran-idolators as the most egregious of ideologues, lack the poetic thinking of which Sam Keene speaks. They transform the great love stories of scripture, with their epic sweep and grandeur, into a "constitution" ~ a legal document they use to condemn "other thinkers" (aka heretics) and coerce them into "orthodoxy" (right thinking), as if the orthodox know what right thinking is. Bib-idolators trap the living God in a 66 by 66 book-sized box, or worse, kill off the character just as he strokes the last word of scripture. To Bib-idolators, God is dead ~ she can write no more. But no! God lives and will not be contained. "Let God be God," should be our mantra, and nothing else.
Bib-idolators claim "God never acts in a manner contrary to his word," but the very scripture they idolize betrays that tenant. In Acts 10 we find the Apostle Peter on a rooftop trying to pray, but he is hungry and falls into a trance (low blood sugar?). He then sees heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners. It contains all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles and birds, all of which are forbidden to eat by "the Word of God," or what we now call the Torah, which included the Law of Moses found in the Old Testament. But then...surprise! A voice tells Peter, "Get up, Peter. Kill and eat."
Peter, an "orthodox" Jew, acts like one might expect him to. "Surely not, Lord!" he replies. "I have never eaten anything impure or unclean." But something huge is happening here ~God is out of the box. God is moving, alive, breaking his own rules,"acting in a manner contrary to his word." But Peter is still a prisoner of rules and regulations, so God speaks to him a second time, and in one breathtaking, revolutionary statement changes everything. He says to Peter, "Do not call anything impure that God has made clean."
God the contrarian. God the rule breaker. God who will not be named. God the box buster. Just when you think you've got her all figured out, she breaks free of your ideas and goes in a very different direction.
And what if a sheet were to descend from heaven today? To whom would it appear, and what "unclean" thing would it hold? I don't know for sure, but I suspect it would make every gay and lesbian person in the world rejoice, for we are not to call unclean anything that God has made clean.
Perhaps by putting my thoughts to paper I am no better then the iconoclastic Byzantine warriors, who fought with swords rather than pens to abolish the veneration of icons and other religious images. For I too believe we should erase our images of God, for it is these very images that keep us from glimpsing the infinite and tasting the truly sacred. Are we willing to be so fearless?
Erasing does not mean replacing. American evangelicals replaced the pale, weak, skinny, crucified Jesus of mid-evil Catholics with their own distorted image ~ a strapping, Hollywood handsome Jesus in clean blue robes holding a snowy lamb ~ a poster boy for their pro-war, middle class, capitalist, Western values. A kept man. A poser. Both images are lies.
Erasing the images means facing your fear and entering the "darkness of not knowing." Erase your answers ~ there are only questions. Erase your names ~ there is only "he who cannot be named." Erase the "he" ~ for God is he, she, both and neither. Erase your ideas ~ for if you believe an idea, you have to conform to it, no matter what else you might learn or experience. Put a 55 gallon drum in the middle of your personal parking lot and burn them all. Then experience the luminosity of darkness and wonder.
"But in the end we remain joined Him as to one unknown." Dionysius the Areopagite

If there is one thing that is worth investing in, it's lingerie. Making sure you are giving those lovely breasts of yours the love and care they deserve is important. We all know we should be spending more on good quality underwear - especially bras, and making sure they are fitting us properly. Saying that I think we are all guilty of sometimes thinking more about the bank balance over taking care of our bodies. I'm sure we've all been there, you buy cheap bras thinking you will be saving a few pounds, but most of the time that £6 bra ends up falling apart, or ends up giving you back and neck ache. I truly believe investing in good quality underwear and lingerie is money well spent. Your boobs and bum will thank you for it!
As a lady with fairly large breasts, I often find shopping for bras on the high street stressful. With limited styles in larger sizes and quite often nothing in my size at all I find shopping online is so much easier and there is a lot more choice. I love House Of Fraser for lingerie, and with having so many brands available such as Ann Summers, Calvin Klein and Heidi Klume Intimates to name just a few, there's always something available in the style and size you want. Whether you are buying for everyday wear, for a special occasion or even for a special someone, HOF is the best place to shop for stocking up your knicker drawer.
With happy bodies in mind, I have picked out my favourite pieces from House Of Fraser's lingerie department.
Sexy and sassy
The fun part about lingerie shopping definitely comes from this category! Feeling sexy and dressing up is all part of the fun and is normally a warmly welcomed treat from all parties.
Top row: Pink bra, Pink thong | Red bra, Red suspender belt, Red Briefs | Black basque | Bralet, Black thong
Bottom row: Black body, | Nipple tassles | Boudoir brief | Strappy body
Being a blogger means I spend a lot of my time on my laptop and phone. Not having a lovely white Macbook which are oh so pretty with that lit up apple logo, and instead having a less pretty black laptop left me feeling like my lovely little lappy was always going to be a gloomy looking thing. That was before I dressed my tech with a laptop skin and phone case from Caseapp.co.uk.* Caseapp have a range of cases for laptops and phones, in so many different colours and patterns, as well as the option to design your very own custom case, just to be extra fancy! The laptop skin is a sticky sheet so it is super easy to apply and if you get bored or want a new design, it simply peels back off.
As my laptop tends to follow me around most of of the time joining me in my office and bedroom, I decided to get a pre-designed skin which would colour coordinate with the interior decor in my home so she will look right at home on my desk with her lovely new look. I love the marble effect and just to be all matchy matchy I also gave my phone a little makeover with the white and gold marble phone case. I've gone marble mad.
When shopping for diamond jewelry, you need to determine if what you're looking at is a real diamond or a fake diamond. Although browsing stones at reputable retailers like ascotdiamonds.com will nearly eliminate the odds of ending up with a fake diamond priced like a real one, you should still know the main signs of a fake diamond, just to be sure that you are not being tricked. Continue reading to learn a few of the main ways that you can tell if a diamond is actually real.

Lovely!!!! Beautiful wedding, wish you a more beautiful married life. I like how you were all covered up (y) :*ReplyDelete
Thank you so much!!! Amen!!! Muchos gracias! Much appreciated!!!ReplyDelete
Lol re the comment "all covered up". All it takes is a piece of cloth. Was hoping the fan could do that since I didn't want to wear the normal bolero. But I still felt it was important to cover my shoulders since it was church and I usually am very cautious about what I wear to church. It's a personal thing for me.... wouldn't want to distract people and all. Besides, you can always yank the covering off and still look fabulous in your pictures if you feel it's cramping your style when you're done... ;-)

Hi TW..your wedding was superB!!! I absolutely like the Black and White concept looks like KiM K wedding venue(since you planed it,you should be an official wedding ooo) and the Trad and white wedding cake,OMO! That's was beautiful.thanks for sharing this.God Bless Your Union,MwahReplyDeleteReplies
Oh really? HAHA! I better check out Kim K's wedding pictures then.Delete
You know... I really should be a wedding planner to be honest! I have told my sisters we can do this. We sourced for 90% of all the stud we needed, right down to center pieces and paper plates and serviettes ourselves, my sisters surfed the web for ages to get exactly what I wanted and sent them to me and it didn't cost as much as people thought. Honestly, I really need to consider it.
Good thing is I plan for the series to be a "how-to" kind of series. I was trying to break mindsets with this wedding and ensure I didn't have to break the bank to get what i wanted and thank God for His mercies.
Don't worry.... watch out for the series. I finally have the pictures so it will be exciting posting them.

Marine Parks with decent no-take zones are essential for healthy oceans and to ensure there is enough fish around for the next generation to enjoy, says the state's peak environment body, Conservation Council of SA.
"The science, and the real life experience around the world is clear: well managed, decent sized marine parks boost the number and size of fish and improve the health of our precious oceans for all to enjoy," said Conservation SA Chief Executive Craig Wilkins.
"Essential, though, for their success are decent no-take zones, especially in areas where fish and other marine species spawn and breed.
"It's in everyone's interest, especially the many South Australians who love to fish and the next generation of commercial fishers, for vital breeding grounds to be protected," he said.
According to a recent report by the Centre for Policy Development, European studies have shown that for each year a fully protected no-take zone is in place, the number and/or size of commercially targeted fish within the park, compared to nearby areas, increases by around 8%.
"After a decade of community consultation, a compromise on marine parks has been reached between those who want more protection, including many rec. fishers, and those who want less.
"Like any compromise, no one has got everything they wanted. However, the last thing we need is 10 years of hard work and community input thrown away in order to start again from the beginning.
"To the government's credit, they have stuck with this process in the face of a lot of misinformation.
"We cannot continue to see every single inch of the ocean, including places where sea creatures congregate to breed and spawn, as something to exploit commercially. We have to make sure there is some around for the next generation.
"Marine parks work. They are the best way to ensure fish and other species are around for the future and they are strongly supported by the community, including many rec. fishers," he said.
The Conservation Council is the state's peak environment body representing over 92,000 South Australians through 50 member groups.

The Container Throughput Index of the RWI – Leibniz Institute for Economic Research and the Institute of Shipping Economics and Logistics (ISL) declined by 1.4 points during April 2017. The noticeable decline most likely reflects a correction after the extraordinarily strong increase of handling volumes recorded during March. Currently, the flash estimate for April stands at 124.3 points. The March estimate for the seasonally adjusted RWI/ISL index has been revised down by 0.3 points to 125.7 points. This revision is purely attributable to mathematical reasons. The non-seasonally adjusted index, which represents the effective volumes of containers handled in the ports, actually needed to be revised upwards by 0.4 points. All in all, both indices have been significantly higher in April 2017 than they have been at the start of the year 2017.
The flash-estimate for April is based on data reported by 43 ports, accounting for ~ 80% of the total index volume.
The RWI/ISL-Container Throughput Index for May 2017 will be released on June 22nd.

Pinched nerves in the neck can be caused by a number of reasons, ranging from bone spurs to poor posture. Stretches for a pinched nerve in the neck performed throughout the day can help alleviate symptoms while lowering your risks of developing more serious injury. Consult your doctor before starting any new exercise. Not all exercises may suit your individual situation.
Stretches for a pinched nerve in the neck can decrease neck pain, inflammation and stiffness, according to arcforlife.com. Stretches increase neck mobility and facilitate everyday activities such as turning your neck and head to see blind spots while driving your car and staying aware of your surroundings.
Neck Rolls
Neck rolls can be a good stretch for a pinched nerve in the neck, according to SpineUniverse.com. Do this exercise while standing or sitting. Look straight ahead and start doing circles with your neck by gently tilting your head until your right ear is over your right shoulder. Slowly keep moving your head toward the back, left and down, so your chin is on your chest. Return your head to the straight-ahead position. Relax 10 seconds. Repeat this exercise five times.
Head Turns
Doing an exercise known as a head turn or neck rotation can be a helpful stretch for a pinched nerve in the neck, according to arc4life.com. Do this exercise while standing with your feet firmly planted on the floor or sitting upright in a firm chair. If standing, hold onto a firm chair for balance purposes. Slowly turn your head to the left side. Move as far as possible to increase the stretch. Hold this position for 10 seconds. Slowly return your head to the center position. Relax for 10 seconds. Turn your head to the right and repeat the sequence. Do this exercise five times for each side. Do not move your shoulders throughout this exercise.
Head Turns
Stretch your neck and spinal column by doing a standing exercise involving hand clasping, according to arc4life.com. Stand upright with your feet firm on the floor, shoulder-length apart. Place your hands behind your back and gently clasp them together, interweaving the fingers. Slowly and gently move your hands toward the floor while inhaling, breathing in, deeply. Keep pulling your hands down as you look up at the ceiling and stand on your toes. Hold this position for five seconds. Slowly exhale as you return to the original position. Relax for 10 seconds. Repeat this exercise five times.
When doing stretches for a pinched nerve in the neck, perform the exercises slowly and deliberately, with no sudden movements, in order to prevent further damage. Consider pain a warning sign and never stretch to the point where you experience any pain, according to arc4life.com. Breathe as you normally do while doing the exercises. Breathing helps relax muscles and increases neck flexibility.

For more than a century, the United States has been the world's most powerful state. Now some analysts predict that China will soon take its place. Does this mean that we are living in a post-American world? Will China's rapid rise spark a new Cold War between the two titans?
In this compelling essay, world renowned foreign policy analyst, Joseph Nye, explains why the American century is far from over and what the US must do to retain its lead in an era of increasingly diffuse power politics. America's superpower status may well be tempered by its own domestic problems and China's economic boom, he argues, but its military, economic and soft power capabilities will continue to outstrip those of its closest rivals for decades to come.

"The government wasn't supportive at all but still I managed to complete the film! Doesn't matter whether you'd like Nasi Lemak 2.0 or not, I feel that I've already won. I've won!"
Those were the words of Namewee during the Gala Premiere event of his movie Nasi Lemak 2.0 at Piazza, The Curve Damansara on the 8th of August last Sunday. To complete a film with a limited budget would certainly be tough, especially when one has such purpose. But he did it, with barely 1 million ringgit.
As some of you know, I am a huge supporter of anti-racism, Malaysian unity and Bersih 2.0 and there it was no surprise how glad I was to be invited by Henry Lee to attend the Gala Premiere of the Nasi Lemak 2.0 to show my support, meet the casts of the film, and also to watch the movie before its official release on the 8th of September 2011.
(Nasi Lemak 2.0 lead actress Karen Kong being interviewed)
Before the red carpet introductions of the Nasi Lemak 2.0 Gala Premiere commenced, the other bloggers and I was also invited for a "Buka Puasa Dinner" buffet at Laundry Bar outside e@Curve. Ironically, no nasi lemak was served at all. There was a little hype build-up going on at the stage led by some One FM radio station DJs. They were giving out posters and all but it bothered me that these DJs were only speaking in Chinese. This film was supposed to appeal to all ethnics of Malaysia and they shouldn't have marketed the movie by focusing on the Chinese only.
Apart from Afdlin Shauki, Pete Teo and Reshmonu, almost everyone else involved with the film made appearance at the big open event. Even some non-involved local celebrities and non-impact figures were also there to walk on the red carpet of the Gala Premiere. Ultimately, all those who attended were there just to show their support to Namewee and his film. I strongly believe that Namewee could not had afforded to hire all of these actors, therefore I think some of them didn't even accept any sort of remuneration for their involvement because they wanted to get behind the great intentions of the Nasi Lemak 2.0, which our Malaysian government was too stubborn to acknowledge.
The casts and important figures of Nasi Lemak 2.0 walked on the red carpet of the Gala Premiere to the stage to let everyone take some photos and also to give their thoughts on their film. The hosts on stage were a Chinese lady and a Malay man, who were both competent and entertaining enough to lead the event to its very purpose. I mean at least from that point onwards, it wasn't only in Chinese language anymore.
I got to say a few words to Namewee after the Gala Premiere screening of Nasi Lemak 2.0 at Cathay Cinemas in e@Curve but he seemed to exhausted to give any kind of overwhelming response. Seriously, his eyes were red and his voice sounded weak as if he didn't sleep for decades, which was possible considering that he was perhaps preparing for this big day of his. Accordingly to me biatch Iris Loong, Namewee didn't actually touch her at all when the photo (image below) of theirs was taken.
(Namewee and Iris)
Please read my review on Nasi Lemak 2.0 here. It's coincidentally colourless opinions' 100th movie review entry.
