The latest news from Pulau Tioman
Tioman Island Turtles
If you have ever seen a sea turtle you will know that they are the most serene and gentle animals in the ocean, effortlessly gliding through the blue they will travel great distances and if they reach maturity, female turtles will return to the beach that they were born on, to nest.
But, as most of you will know all to well our sea turtles are under threat and many species of turtles are now listed as critically endangered. On Tioman Island, if you are lucky, you can see two different species of turtles, Hawksbill Turtles and Green Turtles. Hawksbill Turtles are listed on the IUCN red list as critically endangered, while Green Turtles are listed as endangered. The future does not look good for the turtles of Tioman Island and some of the problems they are facing are habitat degradation, egg harvesting (yes, people eat the eggs!) and beach development.
The Juara Turtle Project was setup a few years ago by some concerned individuals who wanted to try and do whatever they could do to try and help. They are a non-profit organisation run by a group of volunteers. If you are visiting Tioman Island and are interested in wildlife, you should check out the Juara Turtle Project visitors centre where they give talks on what is threatening turtles globally and all the money raised goes into tackling problems and creating awareness on the island.

Paypal Shipping and Order Processing Software
Teapplix Makes PayPal Order Processing a Breeze!
As an e-Commerce business you already know that PayPal is a service that enables you to pay, send money, and accept online payments with the security of data encryption and anti-fraud technology to keep your information secure. PayPal also allows you to process payments via a mobile device, or online, and can also help you send customized invoices to your customers. Now, with PayPal's integration with Teapplix, PayPal order processing and shipping is also quick and easy by enabling you to import multiple orders at a time, create and print shipping labels, and seamlessly integrate with Quickbooks.
PayPal integration is for advanced users. Normally if you only want eBay orders, you do not need to worry about PayPal integration and only need to setup eBay Only Mode.
Instant IPN
Instant Payment Notification (IPN) is a push from PayPal to Teapplix and orders can typically show up in Teapplix within a minute after they are paid by PayPal. API Integration is a pull from Teapplix to PayPal. This is done hourly*. In this case Teapplix can obtain all orders in PayPal.(* although the interval is set to hourly, there is no guarantee for exactly an hour - due to possible delays)
The downside to IPN is that some website shopping carts redirect IPN to themselves. When this happens Teapplix will not get the order info. If you add a website using PayPal, you'll need to turn API for both. You can leave the IPN enabled for the one you already set up, but both will need the API turned on.
Turning on Both IPN and API
It is normally not necessary to turn on API if IPN works completely. However, turning on API and IPN both at the same time will not cause any duplicate orders as Teapplix filters by transaction id.
Missed Transactions in IPN
If you have missed transactions in Teapplix due to various reasons - common example being a change to the PayPal primary email address and not updating that in Teapplix; you can go to your PayPal account, find the IPN History (under My Account->History on the old UI, or under More->SiteMap on the new UI), find the missing transactions sent out by PayPal and resend the transactions.
Duplicate Transactions
Teapplix is smart enough to recognize duplicate transactions and will ignore these - you will not get duplicate transaction numbers when you resend IPN.
Holds, Chargebacks, Reversals, Reviews
Due to the speed of IPN, it is best equipped to handle PayPal payment Holds, Chargebacks, Reversals, and Payment Reviews.
API integration can also handle payment Holds, Chargebacks and Reversals. However, for payments "Under Review", due to PayPal API limitation, the orders "Under Review" will only show in Teapplix as completed orders.
If you do not want this to happen, you must make sure that for these orders IPN works.
Shipping Confirmation
We cannot update any orders on PayPal with shipping information such as tracking numbers, since PayPal does not provide a way for us to do so. You may notice that the ebay orders on your PayPal has tracking number, but that is done by eBay via an internal data exchange with PayPal.

Liposome an Advantage in Drug Delivery
Definition and background10
Liposomes were discovered in the early 1960's and subsequently studied as cell membrane models. They have since gained recognition in the field of drug delivery. Liposomes are spherical vesicles which can be thought of as a hollow sphere they are composed of a bilayer membrane which entraps an aqueous core. The particle size of liposomes ranges from 20 nm to 10 μm in diameter. Liposomes vary in charge and in size depending on their manufacturing protocol and type of (phospho) lipid bilayer used (the small unilamellar vesicle (SUV) size range is 0.02 -0.05 μm, the large unilamellar vesicles (LUV) size range is greater than 0.06 μm and the multilamellar vesicle (MLV) size range is 0.1 – 0.5 µm). The physicochemical characteristics of the liposomes, like particle size, lamellarity, surface charge, sensitivity of pH changes and bilayer rigidity can be modified. Liposomes showed promising result in the drug delivery but their applicability is limited primarily to specific use because of short half-life in blood circulation. The circulation time of liposomes in the blood stream is dramatically increased by attaching polyethylene glycol (PEG) – units to the bilayer, known as long circulating (Stealth) liposomes. Main advantages of liposomes are that they offers suitable means for delivering drugs combined with the potential of improving the therapeutic index while greatly reducing the side effects. Liposomes are potential carrier for controlled drug release of tumors therapeutic agents and antibiotic, for gene and antisense therapy through nucleic acid sequence delivery, immunization through antigen delivery and for antiparkinsons. Last one decade, pharmaceutical researcher's use the tools of biophysics in evaluating liposomal dosage forms. Liposomes have covered predominantly medical, albeit some non-medical areas like bioreactors, catalysts, cosmetics and ecology. The structure is known as a phospholipid bilayer of lamellar, is shown in Figure 6.
Fig 6: The formation of liposomes, from phospholipid molecules to a unilamellar vesicle.
Composition of Liposomes:
There are number of the structural and nonstructural components of liposomes, major structural components of liposomes are:- a. Phospholipid:
Phospholipid is the major component of the biological membrane; two types of phospholipids are used natural and synthetic phospholipids. The most common natural phospholipid is the phospatidylcholine (PC) is the amphipathic molecule and also known as lecithin. It is originated from animal (hen egg) and vegetable (soyabean). The type of phospholipids includes phosphoglycerides and sphingolipids, and together with their hydrolysis product. . PC is amphiphilic and is composed of a hydrophilic head group consisting of the quaternary ammonium moiety choline linked to the glycerol-backbone via a phosphor-ester and two lipophilic acyl chains. As the phosphate is negatively charged at physiological pH, PC is zwitter ionic and liposomes made of it have no net charge. PC is hardly ever used alone in liposomal lipid formulations. Blends of PC with other lipids are used primarily to improve both in-vitro and in-vivo stability of the liposomes. When drugs are incorporated into the liposome one usually wants to prevent leaking and loss of drug through the membrane. A schematic presentation of PC is shown in Figure 7.
Fig 7: A schematic representation of PC
b. Cholesterol:
Incorporation of cholesterol in liposome bilayer can bring about big changes in the preparation of these membranes. It does not mean by itself form bilayer membrane structure, but can be incorporated into phospholipids membrane in very high concentration up to 1:1 or 2:1 molar ratios of cholesterol to phospatidylcholine. Being an amphipathic molecule, cholesterol inserts into the membrane with its hydroxyl group of cholesterol oriented towards the aqueous surface and...

CASE 302 - The Surrogacy industry
Surrogacy is an arrangement in which a woman carries and delivers a child for another couple or person. This woman may be the child's genetic mother (called traditional surrogacy), or she may carry the pregnancy to delivery after having an embryo, to which she has no genetic relationship, transferred to her uterus (called gestational surrogacy). If the pregnant woman received compensation for carrying and delivering the child (besides medical and other reasonable expenses) the arrangement is called a commercial surrogacy, otherwise the arrangement is sometimes referred to as an altruistic surrogacy.
In a traditional surrogacy the child may be conceived via home artificial insemination using fresh or frozen sperm or impregnated via IUI (intrauterine insemination), or ICI (intracervical insemination) performed at a health clinic.
The social parents (that is, those that intend to raise the child) may arrange a surrogate pregnancy because of female infertility, or other medical issues which may make the pregnancy or delivery impossible, risky or otherwise undesirable. The social mother could also be fertile and healthy, and prefer the convenience of someone else undergoing pregnancy, labor, and delivery for her. The intended parent could also be a single man or woman wishing to have his/her own biological child. Some same-sex couples turn to surrogacy as an option to becoming parents. This area is also a massive multi billion pound industry, some mothers are slaves and get next to nothing in return for their child.
The advances in human reproductive sciences have made it possible for couples and others to have biologically their own children who otherwise cannot for a number of reasons. This has given rise to the concept of surrogate mothers. Surrogacy is a method of assisted reproduction. More common form is IVF/Gestational surrogacy in which the surrogate child biologically belongs completely to the social parents. The other type is gestational surrogacy where the surrogate child is genetically related to the male parent and the surrogate mother.
India where it is the only place where it is legal has emerged as a favourable destination for surrogacy and its Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) industry has evolved into a 25-billion rupee business annually, with Law Commission describing it as "a gold pot". The phenomenal rise in surrogacy in India has been due to it being cheap, socially accepted. Moreover, surrogacy has emerged as a preferred option because of complicated adoption procedures.

- 1882 – The Nickel Plate Railroad opens for business.
- 1923 – The Walt Disney Company is founded by Walt Disney and his brother, Roy Disney.
- 1944 – Wally Walrus, Woody Woodpecker's first steady foil, was debuted at the The Beach Nut, a Walter Lantz's cartoon.
In 25 years after the American Civil War American railroad track miles more than doubled, changing the face of America forever. American railroads allowed products made in the East to be shipped to the expanding West less expensively than in previous years. This allowed for an economy of scale – larger, more efficient factories. The agricultural heartland of America was no longer confined to a market of single day's trip by wagon. Railroad and railroad construction became one of the largest industries during that era. By 1881 one out of 32 people in the United States was either employed by a railroad or engaged in railroad construction.
Starting about 1877, two great railroad developers, William H. Vanderbilt and Jay Gould, began competing for the railroad traffic along the south shore of the Great Lakes. By 1878 William Vanderbilt had a monopoly on rail traffic between Buffalo, New York; Cleveland, Ohio; Detroit, Michigan; and Chicago, because he owned the only railroad linking those cities – the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway. In addition, he was the richest man in America at that time. By 1881 Jay Gould controlled about 15% of all U.S. railroad mileage, most of it west of the Mississippi River and he was considered the most ruthless financial operator in America. Gould's major railroad east of the Mississippi River was the 335-mile (539 km) Wabash, St. Louis and Pacific Railway (Wabash). The Wabash mainline ran from St. Louis, Missouri to Toledo, Ohio where it was forced to deliver its railroad traffic to William H. Vanderbilt's Lake Shore Railroad for delivery to the eastern United States.
Jay Gould and William Vanderbilt together oversaw all east-west rail traffic in the mid-west. The Seney Syndicate, owners of a 350-mile (560 km) railroad, the Lake Erie and Western Railroad, were interested in tapping new sources of revenue. The stage was set for the creation of the New York, Chicago and St. Louis Railroad.
The Seney Syndicate, headed by George I. Seney, met at Seney's New York bank and organized the New York, Chicago and St. Louis Railway Company on 3 February 1881. The original proposal for the NYC&StL was a 340-mile (550 km) railroad west from Cleveland, Ohio to Chicago, Illinois with a 325-mile (525 km) branch to St. Louis, Missouri.
On April 13, 1881, the New York, Chicago and St. Louis Railway Company bought the Buffalo, Cleveland and Chicago Railway, a railroad that been surveyed from the west side of Cleveland, Ohio to Buffalo, New York running parallel to Vanderbilt's Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway.
The idea of an east-west railroad across northern Ohio was very popular with the people of Ohio. They wanted to break the high freight rates charged by Jay Gould and William Henry Vanderbilt. No one was less popular in Ohio than William Vanderbilt since the December 29, 1876 collapse of Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway's Ashtabula River trestle, where 64 people had been injured and 92 were killed or died later from injuries.
Another reason for the popularity of the New York, Chicago and St. Louis Railway was the positive economic impact on cities that any new railroad went through at that time. During a newspaper war to attract the New York, Chicago and St. Louis the Norwalk, Ohio Chronicle Newspaper referred to the New York, Chicago and St. Louis as "… double-track nickel-plated railroad." The New York, Chicago and St. Louis adopted the nickname and it became better known as the Nickel Plate Road.
It was decided to start building along the surveyed route between Cleveland, Ohio and Buffalo, New York rather than build the branch to St. Louis, Missouri. Five hundred days later the Nickel Plate's 513-mile (825 km) single-track mainline from Buffalo, New York to Chicago was complete. The railroad was estimated to require 90,000 long tons (80,000 metric tons) of steel rails, each weighing sixty pounds per linear yard (30 kg/m) and 1.5 million oak crossties. Additionally, the railroad required forty-nine major bridges. It was characterized by long sections of straight track, mild grades and impressive bridges. The Nickel Plate ran its first trains over the entire system on October 16, 1882.
During construction, Vanderbilt and Gould had watched with great interest. If either of them could acquire the Nickel Plate, they could end the threat to their railroads. If the Nickel Plate remained independent it would be able to create a substantial dent in both entrepreneurs' railroad earnings.
Vanderbilt tried to lower the value of the Nickel Plate by organizing a campaign to smear its reputation before a train ever ran on its tracks. If Vanderbilt was successful he could scare the Seney Syndicate into selling to him or drive the railroad company into bankruptcy. However, Vanderbilt's plan came with two important risks. If he slandered the line he risked chasing the Seney Syndicate into an alliance with Gould. The other risk was that his plan to smear the Nickel Plate's reputation might fail and it could quickly grow. Vanderbilt claimed the road was being built with substandard materials and it would use unsafe practices once completed. He succeeded in creating long-standing rumors about the line, but failed to devalue the company or scare the investors.
The cost of construction was higher than expected and the Seney Syndicate began to negotiate with Gould to purchase the railroad, but unlike Vanderbilt, Gould lacked the capital. Frustrated at the failing talks, Gould broke off negotiations and gave up on his attempt to break Vanderbilt.

3 Modern Cartoons Children and Adults Can Enjoy Together
It Can Be Hard to Find Cartoons for Everyone
Holding the attention of children and adults at the same time takes work.
Many times shows are too childish for adults, filled with slapstick and craziness. Other times they have too much talking for children to follow. Finding the right mixture of animation and context is important to please everyone.
Cartoon Network has done a good job of providing entertainment for everyone. Their cartoons are funny and well made. Young children, teenagers and adults can all appreciate the humor as well. Plus, CN does a good job of making their cartoons accessible to everyone whether on TV or online.
When's the Last Time You Watched a Cartoon
As an adult it can be hard to find time to watch cartoons. Other times it can be hard to find a cartoon that is good enough to watch, one that holds your attention with humor and art. But have you been missing out on something?
- Cartoons can be a relaxing escape from reality and reality TV
- They can help you stay in touch with your creative side through inspiration
- The subjects, plots and characters are more likely to be different and refreshing than real life ones
- Cartoons can express ideas that would usually cost too much to create in a studio for a lot less money
Steven Universe, Clarence, and Teen Titans Go
As said in the title there are 3 cartoons you should focus on. This is whether you are unsure about watching cartoons as an adult or you want to enjoy them with your children. These 3 are sure to please with their well written scripts, adventurous and fun plots, and the all around great characters.
If you are looking for a light-hearted television show with a storyline that keeps you coming back for more, Steven Universe should be good for you. It has funny jokes and situations, but the underlying morals of the show make it a winner.
On the other hand, if you are looking for a quick show to get in and out of, Clarence offers fun times very quickly without any real knowledge of the show. The shows blends a child's view of the world with the realities of the world in a new way.
Teen Titans Go is the last show I think almost anyone can enjoy. With the 5 different main characters, all superheros, there is something for everyone. The episodes are also well thought out and really incorporate the comic book culture into the show in a good way for non-comic book readers.
Steven Universe and It's Amazing Songs
The universe of SU is amazing. That would be the simplest way to describe it. Steven is a kid who lives with 3 crystal gems who have been protecting the earth from other gems for thousands of years. His mother gave up her life to make him and the story was born.
If that is not enough to get you interested the artwork is like candy for your eyes (not hard candy though, something soft). It is done in an older looking way mixed with modern lighting and quality. (Sort of like Adventure Time) The characters are so distinctive you will find yourself construing them out of everyday items.
Maybe you aren't so artsy about imagery and you want the feels from a story. The storylines are adventurous, exciting and thrilling. You will find yourself wanting more and more. As said before, there are a lot of evil/bad gems that want to harm the earth. Steven and the 3 crystal gems tend to clash with them quite often, sometimes by accident and sometimes on purpose.
The songs, songs, and songs! This show has some of the best songs ever. The theme song is going to be your favorite song if you haven't already heard it. It is below in both versions. There are also a wide variety of songs throughout the show including "Stronger Than You" by Estelle which aired in one of the best SU episodes yet, Jail Break. These songs are not your normal songs. They are hilarious and sometimes they will sneak into your brain and hang out for a while.
Other Great Songs:
- "Giant Woman"
- "Steven and the Stevens"
- "On the Run"
- "Let Me Drive My Van Into Your Heart"
Are you a Steven Universe fan?
Who is your favorite character?
Steven Universe Pilot Theme Song
Although the Characters and Artwork Look Different Now
In the final production of Steven Universe the characters (Steven, Pearl, Amethyst, and Garnet) all look different and the artwork is not exactly the same. This is the pilot video but the song includes an amazing part and sounds great in this version, so I had to use it.
The song is used as the theme song to SU, but it is a shorter version that doesn't sound the same. It is still good though.
See for Yourself - Normal SU Theme Song
- Steven Universe Funnies
Whether you are a SU fan or not, you will find these Steven Universe quotes hilarious. These are some of the best parts from all the different episodes.
Clarence is the Friendliest Kid
This show may have slipped under the radar for a lot of adults. It does not look like much, the colors are a little different than most cartoons but it is great and Clarence is love-able for anyone. If you have a problem with Clarence then you have a problem with good nature.
Clarence is a 9 year old boy who is left to fend for himself most of the time. A lot of people don't seem to see eye to eye with Clarence but end up in need of his help from time to time. He is like the cornerstone of all the fun stuff with his great imagination. Also, he is always out to have a good time and never trying to bother people. So it seems like everyone can have a good time with him, even when they don't want to at first.
This is a no frills show that focuses on the imagination of Clarence, not are the artwork. With his closest friends, Sumo and Jeff, Clarence's adventures usually take place outside somewhere but often times end up at school.
Already a Clarence Fan?
Who is your favorite character?
Clarence Theme Song
The Theme Song Explains It All
I don't think I fully understood Clarence until I listened to the theme song. When you think about it, he really is the king of his little world. Many times he is the one calling the shots and making the adventure.
- Clarence Cartoons Funnies
Find out what makes Clarence so great and see some of the top quotes from the show. The Clarence cartoon is guaranteed to have something funny to share with friends.
Teen Titans Go is Super Funny
You don't have to be a fan of superheros to enjoy the comedy of Teen Titans Go. It is not only created really well, with great animation and concepts but the show is so funny you will find yourself laughing out loud a lot.
There are 5 Titans total and the Silky. Robin the leader, Starfire, Cyborg, Beast Boy and Raven. Their unique personalities work well together and always lead them to an awesome story. Super powers just make the experience more fun. One thing always seems to happen though, everything gets beat up. The bad guys and the Teen Titans.
Something that sets Teen Titans Go apart from other superhero shows/cartoons is that the Titans are growing up. This makes them fun, irresponsible and a lot of trouble to each other and everyone else. They actually seem to be more troublesome than the villains at this age.
Maybe you're a Teen Titans Go! fan?
Who is your favorite Titan?
Teen Titans Go! Theme Song
Based Off the Theme Song
You can tell a lot about the show by the theme song actually. It showcases how crazy everything is and how you much energy is emitting from the show. There are literally colors everywhere when you watch the show and there's usually a couple of things going on at once. The song itself is really catchy, after listening to it a few times you will find it stuck in your brain.

1. "Upon its release, Remember the Titans was hailed for its elevating message and, to a lesser degree, chided for its posturing as a historical document. "History is written by the winners," went the tag line on Titans posters, and Disney promoted the movie as a true tale about a high school football team. But screenwriter Gregory Allen Howard couldn't cull enough material from T.C.'s dominant state championship run in 1971 for the parable he wanted to tell. So he recast Alexandria circa 1971 as Birmingham circa 1963. And he posed the 1971 consolidation of Alexandria's high schools, which turned three full-sized high schools into one giant high school, as the racial integration of the city's schools, though in reality all three schools had been racially integrated years before their merger. The real record shows that T.C. had black and white students when it opened in 1965."
Deadspin's Dave McKenna superbly deconstructs the 2000 Denzel Washington-starring American Football movie Remember the Titans.
2. Robson put together a team with flair and many people thought they could genuinely challenge for the title. Sadly, it was to end in the bitter disappointment of relegation in May 1997, but not before they wowed fans across the country and made Clayton Blackmore and Robbie Mustoe seem that little bit more exotic than they were.
They were a team for the day and they took it one match at a time. Perhaps this is why they made three appearances at Wembley between 1996 and 1998. They may have lost the finals, but on their day they could mix it with the very best. It's easy to sit here as an admirer looking back almost 20 years later but I can only imagine how frustrating it must have been for Boro fans at the time.
Remember the Juninho-led Middlesbrough footballing revolution in the mid-1990s? This piece in The Guardian describes how it changed football.
3. "As the plane touched down at Jose Marti Airport I still wasn't sure I would be allowed to enter Cuba in the first place. I had spent my last trip a few months earlier conducting illegal interviews with the country's most famous boxing champions, men who had turned down millions and were only willing to discuss it if I paid them under the table. Of course there was no official way to have these interviews given the sensitivity of the topic. The state security had started following me after the first interview. All the Cubans I was working with couldn't understand why we weren't being arrested. But we kept going until we landed every interview on my wish list. Then it was just a matter of getting that material out."
Writing for The Rumpus, Brin Jonathan Butler's profile of boxing in Cuba is a spectacular read.
4. "It's not every day that the manager of a Premier League football club cuts short a lunch with the Queen to accommodate a journalist's request to interview him. But this is what happened when, shortly before the end of last season, Brendan Rodgers made his excuses and left a Diamond Jubilee civic banquet held at Swansea's City Hall in the presence of Her Majesty to drive back to the Liberty Stadium as quickly as he could.
"A rather embarrassed Blizzard contributor had explained that, his train ticket being non-exchangeable and non-refundable, not mentioning First Great Western Trains' pitiless fare policy for late bookers, changing the date of the agreed rendez-vous would entail gigantic costs neither he nor his employer could justify."
A typically excellent piece by The Blizzard's Philippe Auclair on Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers.
5. "Like a feather caught in a vortex, Williams ran around the square of bases at the center of our beseeching screaming. He ran as he always ran out home runs—hurriedly, unsmiling, head down, as if our praise were a storm of rain to get out of. He didn't tip his cap. Though we thumped, wept, and chanted "We want Ted" for minutes after he hid in the dugout, he did not come back. Our noise for some seconds passed beyond excitement into a kind of immense open anguish, a wailing, a cry to be saved. But immortality is nontransferable. The papers said that the other players, and even the umpires on the field, begged him to come out and acknowledge us in some way, but he never had and did not now. Gods do not answer letters."
Slate's Longform Guide to baseball history is essential reading for aficionados of the sport
6. "From Giles to Belfast's George Best, Liam Brady to Paul McGrath, Roy Keane to David O'Leary, Irish players have been among the most successful and, for some, best footballers of their respective generations. The great Liverpool and Arsenal teams (pictured, the Irish contigent at the Gunners in the 80s – O'Leary, Stapleton, Jennings, Nelson, Devine, Rice, Brady) of the 1980s had a strong Irish contingent, as did Manchester United during the same period. Ireland once had a healthy representation at Arsenal and, during the Premier League era, the all-conquering United, captained by Keane, featured stalwarts Denis Irwin and later John O'Shea. In 2014, the largest Irish Premier League contingent is at strugglers Hull City."

It has been a dark day. Although Megan was a rather delicious servant, her torn loyalties demanded that her life be ended. Julia's displeasure with my attacks on her — and the resulting retardation of her therapies — certainly aided the decision.
Such a small army in such an all-consuming war. We need a victory, and one is not in sight. To think that my allies are Julia, Good Mr. Loomis, and Quentin — all enemies, at one time. It gives me pause to wonder what Jeb might become if he would only turn the corner.
I wonder if all enemies wonder that about their foes.

Hi Everyone
I haven't posted for a long time. I was diagnosed with GCA in May 2014 with very high levels of CRP, ESR and a positive temporal artery biopsy. I was put on 4Omgs of Prednisone and responded miraculously within hours. I found our wonderful web site, read everything including the book, changed my lifestyle and ate only healthy low carbohydrate food. I also had daily Manuka Honey. Other than a few minor hiccups when I came straight to the web site to find the answers I got on with my life, went to Australia and had other wonderful holidays. I was down to 3 mgms in March of this year when I had a flare. It came quite out of the blue and I didn't recognise it at first put in down to travelling to the Maldives and spending time snorkelling but the headaches got worse so when I got home I saw the Rheumatologist and had to go back up to 20 mgms. It was such a shock as I thought that I had smugly beaten it but I have to admit I had slid back to my bad old ways, not looking after myself, not having enough rest, not eating healthy food and not treating alcohol with respect.
I am now down to 10mgms but my CRP is still high so I have to stay on it for a further 6 months before trying to reduce again. It's hugely frustrating and I still have the tension in my head, which others have described as a steel band but I am not too bad and compared to others I am incredibly lucky. It's supposed to burn itself out in two years but mine is obviously going to take longer. What I have learned is how important it is to take care of myself and listen to my body.
So all of you out their look after yourselves as well

The knitted house, which helped put the village of Hilmarton on the map, has been sent to its final resting place.
Created by the village's knitting group Knitti Natters, the house is entirely created from wool and has been constantly updated since it was first brought to public attention in 2010.
It has toured around the county, with thousands of visitors flocking to marvel at it, and has been housed at Calne Heritage Centre over the winter.
But the group has decided it is time to move on and the house has been donated to a couple in Calne.
Val Proctor, from Knitti Natters, said: "The house has been a big part of our lives over the past year or so but the responsibility of having to move it all the time has been a big concern for a while.
"Because so many people want to see it, it has been moved so many times and it is starting to take its toll on the house.
"Every time we move it now it gets more and more damaged. It needs to go to a permanent home.
"The people who are taking it absolutely love the house. It is going to a private house where it will be much loved and I think there is a chance the couple will be using it for different things in the future."
The group will be looking to future projects, including making novelty tea cosies for a Mad Hatter's tea party it intends to hold later this year.
Mrs Proctor said she had been surprised by the attention the house had drawn. It has featured in a number of newspapers and knitting magazines.
She said: "It started just as a project to raise money for the church in the village and we needed it for the Hilmarton arts , crafts and music festival.
"But you have a vision of something and it often surpasses your expectation and that has certainly happened here. It has captured people's imaginations."

Finally, the story has come to an end... tell me whether it was good or not!
Roger started to walk out the door. "Where're you goin', Roger?" Pete called. "You remember when that storm hit a few weeks back and Keith couldn't get home, and we didn't know where he was."
Roger sighed and turned around. He signed slowly: Going... for a... short... he closed his eyes as he tried to remember the proper sign. Finally, he just spelled it out. ...w-a-l-k.
Pete nodded. "Alright. Just one thing, though-you spelled it w-S-l-k."
Roger frowned. He threw his arms up in frustration and quickly stalked over to the nearest pencil and paper he could find. He brought it over to where Pete was and started to scribble something down, and as he wrote, Pete looked at the words, which said: I'm so bloody sick and tired of not being able to 'say' things properly anymore! I'm always misspelling the simplest words, and I feel trapped! I've got so many things that I want to say, but it all gets stuck in my no-longer working throat when it wants to come out! And all because of that accident... the pencil lead broke. Roger looked at Pete with such frustration, pain, and anger that Pete was taken aback.
But he merely blinked, and answered Roger quietly. Ever since the string of accidents had started, Pete had slowly become the 'father-figure' of sorts, and that had required a lot of effort on his part to keep a hold on his legendary temper. After a while, though, it had become second nature to be patient instead of snapping back (although he still would, occasionally).
"You feel trapped, then, Rog?"
Roger nodded, as he went to fetch something else to write with.
"Have you ever thought about how the rest of us feel?" Pete tilted his head.
When he returned with a pen, Roger shook his head and wrote, Not really. I've only really thought about how I've felt... that sounded really bad, didn't it?
Pete smiled slightly at the sight of those words, and continued, "Do you know how trapped I personally feel at times, knowing that I can't go anywhere quickly, that I can't drive anymore, that I no longer tower over you like I did before?"
No. I'VE certainly never known what it's like to tower over anyone, except for some certain short birds I've seen.
Pete raised an eyebrow. "Roger..."
Seriously though, I'll admit that I don't. I'm not you.
"How about Keith and John, hmmm? Do you know how frustrated John's gotten when he can't tell what people are saying because they talk too fast for him to read their lips? Or how limited Keith feels at times when he knows that he can't do half of the things he used to do, all because he can't see?"
Alright, alright! I get your point, Pete. Maybe I have been a little self-centered.
"A little?" Pete gave him a 'Look'.
Fine, maybe a lot. I'll try not to be, but it just gets so frustrating at times... especially when I know that the guy who did this is still on the loose.
"I know, Rog. You remember when I was in the accident, right?" Pete said, changing the subject.
Roger nodded an affirmative, and scrawled, The guy who hit you was so stoned out of his head he couldn't see straight. That's why we all dropped the stuff after that.
"Well, when I was in hospital, I had a lot of time to think about that. About that fact that it could have been any one of us driving the other car, out of our heads. I know you didn't really touch the drugs, but anyway... And I felt, no, I STILL feel ever so guilty for the reason that we may have been the ones to influence the driver to take that stuff. If people see famous persons, like we used to be, doing that sort of thing, then they're more likely to do the drugs, booze, and such. For all I know, it COULD have been my fault that I ended up like this and that the driver ended up being killed on the spot. But I just don't know now, do I?"
True. Y'know, I've gone over my own accident so many times in my mind, asking myself: What if I hadn't gone out that night? What if I hadn't flirted with other guys' girls the way I did? Would I have been able to avoid it? Maybe... but then again, maybe not.
Pete nodded approvingly. "Good. I think you're on the right track to not sitting around in your self-pity any more Now you go on that walk. You look like you need to get out."
Sure enough, Roger was shifting restlessly, and he gave a grateful smile as he wrote, Thanks. I'm gonna do that. I won't be long.
He headed for the door, turned to Pete, and signed: See... you... l-s-t-e-r.
Pete couldn't keep a grin from coming to his face. "You did it again!" he laughed. "Substituted the 's' for 'a'!"
Roger rolled his eyes, and grinned back, Get... it... eventually, Pete read as Roger turned and exited, laughing silently to himself.
Maybe, just maybe, everything would be alright.

Cape Town - When triple murder accused Henri van Breda first took the stand in the Western Cape High court on Tuesday morning, he repeatedly wiped the sweat from his brow and appeared to be distressed.
Judge Siraj Desai adjourned court proceedings to allow him to compose himself. After the break, van Breda meticulously repeated the details of his plea explanation, sometimes almost word for word.
Earlier, Van Breda described his family as "very close": "We shared everything with each other. We certainly enjoyed spending time as a family, especially at that time of year".
Read: #VanBredaTrial: Henri struggles on the stand
Van Breda neighbour heard nothing on night of axe attacks
Van Breda said that on the evening of January 26, 2015, the family had had dinner together. After dinner his father worked for a while on his laptop, his mother was on the phone to her brother and his sister Marli, 16, was upstairs doing homework as it was a school night.
He later watched Star Trek 2 with his father and brother and then retired to the bedroom he shared with his brother where they watched movies on their laptops. Unable to sleep, he listened to music on his cellphone and then went to the toilet "to move my bowels".
Defence lawyer Piet Botha pointed out that photographic evidence showed that he had not flushed or wiped himself because he was interrupted by a noise.
Van Breda said: "I could tell the sounds were coming from the room and I could see the silhouette of someone standing in between our two beds. The person was busy swinging an object down where Rudi was laying."
He testified that he called for help and his father entered the room, switching on the light. "He was hit in the head, he was hit several more times. I distinctly remember a laugh."
He said he heard his mother asking what was going on. Botha asked why, after witnessing an attack on his brother and his father, he did not go to his mother's aid.
"I was just scared. I can't recall what was going through my mind. I certainly wasn't thinking clearly. I was very scared."
He meticulously detailed how the attacker returned to the room "and slowly walked towards me".
"He laughed again. I could see he had a mask with holes cut out for eyes. He seemed rather unconcerned about me."
Van Breda said he struggled with the attacker and was able to push him away. The attacker then left the room. "Rudi was moving around rather violently, I saw his arms and legs shaking around. It wasn't a motivated movement or goal-oriented movement. He was shaking and flailing."
When asked why he didn't call for help, he said there was no particular reason why he didn't, "but in hindsight, it is something I should have done."
He also described in detail how he sustained wounds on his body, painstakingly describing where his hands and his attacker's hands were during their struggle. During the trial, the State led evidence that those wounds were self-inflicted.
Van Breda further testified about chasing the attacker, throwing the axe after him, falling down the stairs and blacking out after trying to get hold of his girlfriend and googling emergency numbers.
He said the last thing he recalled before losing consciousness was seeing his mother and sister Marli lying on the landing.
He testified that when he regained consciousness it was light and he could hear the phone ringing and the dog barking. "I came to on the stairs and slowly started remembering. As if remembering a dream, I could see Marli moving around a bit, her one leg. That is when I snapped back into consciousness. I could again hear the sound I presume was Rudi from the room, the gurgling sounds."

TGC pioneered The Woodlands $20 million Town Center Transit and Pedestrian Corridor project, a 1.75-mile water corridor where people can bike, walk, or take a water taxi or transit vehicle to their choice of restaurant, retail, entertainment, residential or work destinations. This at-grade water feature served as the backbone of the development that could expand as the need for more space grew. An elaborate streetscape program along the corridor created an attractive environment to draw pedestrians to the waterway.
TGC and The District forged a unique partnership between FTA and The Woodlands Development Company (TWDC) to jointly finance the early integration of a transit corridor into a new, mixed-use urban center. By leveraging a menu of private initiatives and federal programs, the partnership created a vision for the corridor that would have been impossible under a more traditional financing approach. Using special taxing districts, TWDC was able to capture the increase in land values that were spun off when the Corridor was implemented. These funds were then utilized to support further development and ongoing maintenance of the Corridor.
TGC performed the feasibility study that explored the opportunity to intensify development by creating a non-traditional transportation corridor. TGC led the preparation of the advanced planning report that served as the catalyst for securing 50% federal funding support. TGC prepared two environmental assessments for the project leading to a Finding of No Significant Impact by the FTA. TGC developed the preliminary engineering report, including the corridor layout and design criteria, initial cost estimates, and operational plans.

text: Hiya, this site is so arghhh... ever since I saw Jessica Alba with that Coach straw bag on this site, my impression of Coach changed! Now Coach is an I-am-so-glamorous-and-chic-but-i-will-carry-something- good-quality-and-attainable-cause-i-am-still-one-simple-gal-like-u kinda brand! My younger brother chose this bag for me after I told him to help me get a cheaper Coach bag (being a pilot, he gets 20% off most labels except LV, Hermes and Fendi Spies, darn!) and he only accepted $100 from me. Such a sweet guy with impeccable taste. He chose the monogram over the leather, cause he thought its more obviously Coach. :weird: Ok maybe his taste is not that great! Sorry for the blurred pics. I took it with my hp camera.

To celebrate and complement the retrospective exhibition, the Great Dixter Nursery will take up residence in the Garden Museum for a whole weekend.
The Nursery will bring with them a selection of Christopher Lloyd's favourite plants, giving a unique chance for London gardeners to buy Dixter plants and get advice from the nursery's expert plants-men without leaving the city.
The nursery at Great Dixter was started in 1954 by Christopher Lloyd. He propagated, tended and sold from there until his death in 2006.
Today Fergus Garrett and the Dixter nursery staff continue to propagate using his methods: growing his favourite tender and hardy plants in the nursery's own soil based compost.

Albert Mohler reports that an increasing number of radical feminists are arguing that, apart from their usefulness as anonymous sperm donors, adult males are mostly surplus.
They're not just saying that kids raised without a dad turn out okay; they're saying that kids raised by mom—divorced, never married, or in a lesbian relationship— are better off than they would be if dad was present. They casually dismiss the vast body of research indicating the importance of the father, especially in the development of boys.
I wonder when these women are going to break the news to their sons that, once they're grown up, they'll be expected to stay the heck away from the women.

Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) said on Monday it has set the February retroactive official selling price for its benchmark Murban crude MUR-OSP at US$66.15 per barrel. That puts February Murban's OSP premium to Dubai quotes at US$3.43 a barrel, down 13 cents from the previous month.Price cuts across all grades were in line with market expectations, traders said. The price cut for Murban was smaller because ADNOC plans to reduce its supplies by 25% in April, a trader said.

FOR a while there I thought water supply, and I mean volume, pressure and potability, was back to normal. One of my home's angle valves got busted and the shower heads spurted like car wash equipment two days in a row.
Yes, that was it. Just two days.
As this is written, water service in Patag still leaves a lot to be desired. Service in our area has improved though. From drought then to trickles now.
Let the water coop supply water in bulk. Let Water Technologies do it. Allow Metro Pacific to take over. Extend the contract with Rio Verde. Many concessionaires really don't care as long as water service is efficient and prompt.
There is no point debating which of the contenders could provide bulk water better at a more reasonable cost if in the meantime water service suffers and nobody knows when it will end.
"Low pressure to no water" may not be experienced by some concessionaires but for us in the western side of the service area of the COWD, that phrase is feared by many.
I pay for the service that I receive, but not for air that is pumped into my faucet. This I have to complain. But provide me with the right water service and I will gladly pay my bills. I will not worry much about the rates because I know the city council is keeping watch. I will not worry about water rates because hopefully competition will take care of that.
But please improve on the distribution and delivery side of it. I don't need water service for just two days.
I'll need it until my dying day.

That word "Meditation"
When I become the Czar of Worldwide Words, I'm going to abolish the word "meditation."
Isn't that an odd way to start a blog on meditation? Gets your attention, though.
My post here will be written mainly from my role as a scientist, as a psychologist, as one of the founders of a relatively new branch of psychology, Transpersonal Psychology, although as a student of meditation and spiritual paths all my life, my perspective is "inside" and well as "outside."
As a field, mainstream psychology pretty much accepts the materialistic assumptions that dominate in most fields of science today, that only what is material is real, matter and physical energy. The physical matter and electrical and chemical processes of your brain are real, consciousness is nothing but a secondary derivative of those physical processes. From this perspective, all those things called "meditation" are indirect ways of controlling your physical brain's functioning, and so someday you won't have to spend all those (too often boring) hours sitting, because science will develop a pill that directly puts the brain in the best "meditative" state. "Spirit" or "spirituality," from the materialistic perspective, is simply old fashioned nonsense, superstition, and best dispensed with, as it interferes with our rational functioning.
Awareness and the Three Principles of Meditation
In this video, Sogyal Rinpoche speaks about this awareness and how it relates to the three principles of shamatha or meditation.
Sogyal Rinpoche: Awareness and the Three Principles of Meditation
Mindfulness probably means slightly different things in different traditions of meditation. At WMRI we usually talk about three principles for using an object, such as the breath, a candle or even the state of non-distraction itself, as the focus of our meditation.
1) Mindfulness – which is the pure knowing or awareness of the object.
2) Watchful Awareness – making sure that we are keeping our attention gently focused on the object
3) Abiding or Remaining Spaciously – It is said that we should 'train in letting the mind remain'. We should remain in whatever we are aware of, be it:
—meditating with an object like watching the breath, or
—simply remaining in the state of non-distraction or pure awareness of the present moment.
A(nother) Day in a (different) Life...
Inspired by the previous post from Marieke van Vugt, I decided to try my hand at sharing what a "normal" day of work-integrating-meditation looks like.
Since preparing to publish my book, Minding the Bedside: Nursing from the Heart of the Awakened Mind, and starting my own business, the unfortunate fact is that the time for my "formal" practice has suffered. Yet, while I lament and moan about the lack of time to formally practice, it seems like the integration of practice into my daily life, and my ability to take life onto the path, has increased.
Emotions and Awareness: A Scientific Perspective for Teenagers
Dr Paul Ekman is regarded as a world expert on emotions. His 1970s research shows that emotions are universal and the expressions associated with some emotions are common to all humans.
In recent years, Paul Ekman was invited by HH the Dalai Lama to enage in discussions on the nature and quality of our emotional lives and compassion, and co-authored Emotional Awareness.
Compassion (in Healthcare) at the Bedside: Five Simple Reminders...
When you think about caring for another, and about arriving fully present at the bedside, what comes to mind? Does the idea of compassion in caring mean that we have to sacrifice some part of ourselves, or somehow "become" something we're not in order to arrive present? Is there something that we lack that needs to be gained in order to be compassionate?
How to meditate
A step-by-step introduction to meditation.
Really Reading Some Good Books
I have been traveling a lot lately (a lot of time spent on the NYC subway too!). I loaded up my Ipad with some books and here are mini-reviews of three of the best. One is about how the universe is based on awareness not sub atomic particles, another about how meditation can help you be a better healthcare professional and the last one is an extraordinary book of practice advice and autobiography by one of my teachers, Adeu Rinpoche.
The Magic of Seeing Those We Care for As "Another Me"
Meditation without action can simply become another way to check out, to absolve oneself of one's responsibilities within the world, leaving us "blissed out" with no particular orbit within the "reality" that is our lives.
As a Registered Nurse, working at the bedside, I've found countless opportunities to check-in using my meditation practice, instead of disappearing. Sogyal Rinpoche, as well as other teachers, refer to this checking-in as "integration."
Video: What Meditation Really Is in Basel Sept 24-25
Sogyal Rinpoche is Basel, Switzerland the 24th & 25th of September giving a seminar called:
What Meditation Really Is: Transforming Everyday Life Through the Wisdom of Awareness
And below is a humorous video about meditation made in honor of the event.
