Amyloids are proteinaceous aggregates known for their role in debilitating degenerative diseases involving protein dysfunction. Many forms of functional amyloid are also produced in nature and often these systems require careful control of their assembly to avoid the potentially toxic effects. The best-characterised functional amyloid system is the bacterial curli system. Three natural inhibitors of bacterial curli amyloid have been identified and recently characterised structurally. Here, we compare common structural features of CsgC, CsgE and CsgH and discuss the potential implications for general inhibition of amyloid.
Amyloids are best known for their role in debilitating, degenerative diseases in humans, such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. In these cases, misfolded polypeptides aggregate to form amyloid fibres, these ordered structures form a cross-β-structure and are highly stable with resistance to degradation [1,2]. A broad range of proteins, both native and intrinsically disordered, have been shown to be capable of forming amyloid, and it has been suggested that amyloid represents a basic low-energy protein structure available to many different polypeptides [3]. Not all amyloid is the product of protein dysfunction, many species, including eukaryotes and prokaryotes, deliberately produce amyloid for functional purposes. The biological roles of these functional amyloids are diverse including protein storage, silk formation, melanin production, immune response and biofilm formation [4–8]. To enable the organisms to employ amyloid effectively, it is critical that they have mechanisms to control the process of amyloid formation and some functional amyloid systems even have their own dedicated secretion system (i.e. bacterial type VIII) [9]. The study of functional amyloid therefore has the potential to provide insights into the control of amyloid formation, which could assist in the treatment of amyloidosis diseases, the development of novel biomaterials and methods of biofilm dispersal in industry and medicine.
Bacterial functional amyloid
The curli amyloid of Escherichia coli is the best-characterised functional amyloid system [10]. Curli fibres are attached to the cellular surface and contribute to surface adhesion and biofilm formation [11]. The curli system is encoded by two divergently transcribed operons csgBAC and csgDEFG (Figure 1) [12]. The csgBAC operon produces both of the fibre components CsgB and CsgA as well as CsgC, which has been recently discovered to be a potent inhibitor of amyloid fibrillation [13]. The CsgA protein contains five repeats (S–X5–Q–X–G–X–G–N–X–A–X3–Q) that have been shown to be amyloidogenic, CsgB; the nucleator has four similar repeats (A–X3–Q-X–G-X2–N–X–A–X3–Q) followed by a less well-conserved fifth repeat with four positively charged residues that anchor CsgB to the cell surface [14–16]. In the amyloid, these are believed to form a β-turn-β secondary structure that is arranged into the cross-β-structure in which glutamine and asparagine residues align and stabilise the fold [14,17,18]. The effects of the individual repeats have been studied in detail and they appear to play different roles in amyloid assembly. Repeats 1, 3 and 5 are amyloidogenic in isolation, whereas repeats 2 and 4 are not [19]. Repeats 1 and 5 are required for curli fibrillation in vivo and cannot be seeded by CsgA or CsgB in vitro [20]. The differences between the repeats have been further dissected using simulations to study the dimerisation properties of peptides corresponding to the repeats; these showed that hydrogen bonding appeared to be the main stabilising force between the repeats and that the position of the β-hairpin in R4 has a major impact on its ability to dimerise correctly [21]. It was also shown that the sequence of CsgA contains what have been described as 'gatekeeper' residues, which inhibit spontaneous amyloid formation and provide a form of intramolecular control [20].
The csgDEFG operon encodes the biosynthetic machinery required for the export and assembly of the fibre as well as the regulator for the csgBAC operon CsgD. The curli fibres themselves are composed primarily of CsgA, which is secreted to the extracellular space where fibre formation is nucleated by CsgB in a mechanism that has been described as nucleation–precipitation, since unfolded subunits in solution are nucleated by folded subunits causing them to assemble and form fibres, and as Type VIII secretion, differentiated from other types of secretion by the fact that fibre extension occurs extracellularly [9,22]. The secretion of these amyloid components involves the CsgEFG complex located in the bacterial outer membrane, and the structure of the transmembrane channel adopts a novel β-barrel assembled from a nonameric oligomer of the CsgG protein [23]. A combination of NMR and EM has also provided evidence for the arrangement of CsgE within the complex, in which it forms a 9:9 complex and caps the periplasmic opening of the channel [23,24]. CsgE interacts with the CsgA amyloid and is likely to play a role in recognising the substrates for transport. CsgF is secreted and associates with the extracellular side of CsgG; there it is required for the anchoring of CsgB to the membrane and is believed to be positioned on the extracellular side of the barrel [25,26].
Interestingly, a genetically unrelated but morphologically similar system of functional amyloid has been identified and described as functional amyloid in Pseudomonas (Fap) [27]. The Fap system is encoded by a single operon fapABCDEF with several components being functionally analogous to those of the Curli system and presumably forming another Type VIII secretion system (Figure 1) [27]. FapC is the primary component of the fibre with FapB implicated as the nucleator. Similar to CsgA and CsgB, these also contain sequence repeats (X15–G–X4–N–X3–G–X6–N–X7); however, they have three rather than five copies [27,28]. Although the display difference, both curli and Pseudomonas amyloid repeats share a Q/N–X10–Q/N motif, which is perhaps important in defining the similarities in the resulting fibres. It is unknown whether FapC contains gatekeeper residues analogous to those contained in CsgA. Unlike the curli system, FapC is known to contain a C–X–X–C motif at its C-terminus that may be involved in redox reactions, perhaps between FapC molecules or with the FapE putative accessory protein, which also contains a cysteine residue. FapF is predicted to be a β-barrel that is likely to provide the channel through which the amyloid is secreted. FapA, FapD and FapE appear to be accessory proteins with unknown functions [27].
Natural amyloid inhibitors of the curli system
The curli system possesses two proteins capable of inhibiting fibrillation of the CsgA amyloid in vitro, namely CsgC and CsgE. CsgC is capable of inhibiting CsgA fibrillation at substoichiometic ratios and even as low as 1:1000, whereas CsgE inhibits at a 1:1 ratio [13,25]. Additionally, CsgC has been shown to possess a functional homologue in many bacteria, known as CsgH, which is genetically distinct to CsgC, but adopts a very similar three-dimensional structure and inhibits curli amyloidogenesis equally potently [29]. Both CsgH and CsgC appear to transiently interact with the CsgA monomers via electrostatically driven encounters [29]. It has been suggested that CsgC delays amyloid fibrillation by perturbing a subset of the CsgA-disordered ensemble that is competent for forming amyloid and thereby redirecting it back into either a more unfolded state or an off-pathway oligomer [13,29]. This mode of amyloid inhibition is akin to the plate spinner in the circus art of 'plate spinning'. CsgC/H interacts transiently with a low population critical conformation (i.e. 'brief tending of individual wobbling plates') and diverts this back into an expanded conformational pool (i.e. 'gets the plate spinning again') and away from amyloid assembly. CsgE is likely to perform a slightly different role and interacts with CsgA molecules more specifically and tightly, which keeps it in a state that facilitates the final handover to CsgG for secretion. CsgE may simply act as a traditional chaperone, simply binding individual CsgA molecules and capturing a high-energy state thereby preventing stable amyloid formation and priming them for secretion. CsgC and CsgH have been shown to inhibit the assembly of other amyloids in vitro, including the human α-synuclein and the Pseudomonas functional amyloid [13,29]. Interestingly, CsgE does not inhibit α-synuclein in vitro, but actually appears to accelerate fibrillation [30]. It has been suggested that this may be the result of the CsgE oligomer promoting intermolecular interactions [25]. The small molecule amyloid inhibitor 2-pyridone FN075 is also capable of inhibiting CsgA aggregation, but stimulates α-synuclein fibrillation [31]. Since FN075 has been shown to direct the formation of oligomers of CsgA and α-synuclein, it is tempting to speculate that oligomeric CsgE also inhibits CsgA in this way, with a nonameric CsgE oligomer binding a stoichiometric quantity of CsgA and inducing oligomerisation that does not proceed to amyloid. Here, we compare the structure features of the natural curli amyloid inhibitors CsgC, CsgH and CsgE.
Comparison of CsgC and CsgH
We previously elucidated the atomic resolution structures of CsgC and CsgH using X-ray crystallography and NMR, respectively [29,32]. CsgC and CsgH share a low sequence identity (∼16%), but have similar tertiary structures with an RMSD between the protein backbones of ∼2.5 Å. The proteins form seven-stranded immunoglobulin-like β-sandwich structures (Figure 2A). It is possible that β-sheets are important for interaction with transient β-structure, formed within amyloid-prone monomers in the fibrillation pathway. Both proteins also contain disulphide bridges. CsgC possesses a CxC motif, while CsgH has the cysteines more distantly spaced which serve to pin the C-terminal and N-terminal β-strands together (Figure 2B). The role of the cysteines is unclear and their position in the structures is not conserved between the two proteins. The cysteines are likely to have a structural role in CsgH, but presumably do not serve a similar function in CsgC. It has been observed that CsgC possesses reduction potential similar to a disulphide isomerase; however, the biological importance of this is unknown [32].
Electrostatic properties have been suggested as playing an important role in the mechanism of several amyloid inhibitors, including CsgC and CsgH [25,29,33]. Significantly, the surface electrostatics of CsgC and CsgH are well conserved; in particular, there is a strong positively charged patch on the surface of the protein corresponding to the β3 and β4 strands, and there are also negatively charged patches neighbouring this (Figure 2C). Mutations of charged residues have been shown to affect the ability of both proteins to inhibit amyloid fibrillation [29].
In eukaryotes, there are other small, immunoglobulin-like chaperone proteins capable of inhibiting diverse aggregating proteins at sub-stochiometiric ratios via transient interactions; they are also thought to redirect misfolded protein back into a more unfolded state or off-pathway oligomer. The Ig-like structure of these small heat shock molecular chaperone proteins (sHsps [34]) is important for function, and the mobile C-terminus of the sHsps has been shown to be important for stabilising both the protein and the complexes it forms. There are differences between these bacterial amyloid inhibitors as sHsps inhibit via important hydrophobic interactions, which were not implicated in mutagenesis studies of the CsgC/CsgH mode of action [29].
Solution structure of CsgE
The NMR structure of a non-oligomerising mutant of CsgE (W48A/F79A) has been recently determined [24]. Unlike CsgH and CsgC, CsgE possesses an anticodon-binding domain-like fold rather than the IG-like fold, and it does not possess any cysteine residues (Figure 3A). Although the full structure of CsgE does not align well with CsgC, it is notable that CsgE shares contain an exposed β-sheet face that is reminiscent of those in CsgC and CsgH. Notably, CsgE also possesses a striking electrostatic distribution, with similar patches of conserved positive charge on one side of molecule. This distribution can be described as being a positive, periplasmic- or CsgC-facing bottom with a negative, CsgG-facing top. It has been suggested that the negative surface interacts with CsgG, while the concentrated positive charge is involved in interacting with the substrate (Figure 3B) [25]. Taken together, the three structures indicate that positive charge is crucial for the interaction with CsgA and its safe guidance to the secretion system. The positively charged region is highly conserved in CsgC and CsgH, and electrostatic mutations have a severe impact on their ability to inhibit amyloid. A model of the CsgE nonamer was calculated from the deposited monomer CsgE structure [24] using Symmdock [35] using restraints that maintain monomerising mutations near the interface. The highest scoring complex based of geometric complementarity (Figure 3C) is consistent with the notion that CsgE oligomer presents a contiguous, positively charged surface for recruitment of the negatively charged CsgA. The differences between CsgE and CsgC, such as the more expansive positively charged surface on the β-sheet of CsgC and CsgH and their monomeric states, are likely to underlie the differences in amyloid inhibition efficiency between CsgE and CsgC.
CsgC and CsgH have been shown to be capable of effectively inhibiting other amyloids, including both the human amyloid α-synuclein and the Pseudomonas functional amyloid FapC [29]. The cross-species reactivity of these inhibitors suggests that the mechanism is not sequence specific. Whether CsgE is also capable of inhibiting FapC is unknown, but when tested, it was found to stimulate rather than inhibit α-synuclein fibrillation [30], probably through an increase in local concentration that results from the nonameric nature of native CsgE. The functions of the other fap operon genes remain unclear; however, from our knowledge of the curli operon and given the innate toxicity of unmanaged amyloid, it seems likely that one or more of the proteins must be capable of controlling amyloid formation. Out of the six genes in the operon, three of the proteins are known to be secreted and be part of or associated with the external fibre; these include FapC, FapB and FapE. This leaves the three other gene products as the main candidates for amyloid inhibition. FapA is a protein of unknown function, but it was shown that a knockout led to alterations in fibre composition where the fibres become predominantly composed of FapB rather than FapC [27,28]. This could be interpreted as evidence that FapA inhibits fibrillation of FapC and in its absence, the protein is no longer secretion competent, although it could equally reflect another regulatory role. FapD is a structured protein from the C39-like peptidase family; commonly found in ABC-transporter systems, these are often involved in bacteriocin processing and Quorum sensing and are known to cleave a double-glycine motif. FapD is predicted to have the catalytic residues necessary for the protease activity and the secretion pore FapF contains a double-glycine motif, but this activity has yet to be ascertained [27,28,36]. It has been observed that some C39-like peptidases are inactive proteolytically and instead serve a role in substrate handing and recognition. It is conceivable that this function is exploited in a chaperone/inhibitory function for FapD [37]. FapF is a predicted β-barrel protein that is likely to provide the channel through which the amyloid components are secreted. Structure predictions suggest that a long N-terminal extension exists within the periplasm, and it is interesting to note that this region contains a significant number of charged residues, which could provide an important platform for electrostatic interactions that may help to recruit Fap substrates as well as inhibit amyloid formation and drive secretion, akin to CsgE in the curli system. A further study of the Pseudomonas operon and elucidation of the molecular mechanisms underlying this alternative Type VIII secretion system will be invaluable for our understanding of the principles underlying the control of amyloid in nature.

To provide funding for general city services and infrastructure projects, such as improvement of streets and sidewalks, utility undergrounding, public landscapes, improvement of community parks, trails and recreation facilities; police, crime prevention, fire prevention and other public safety services, shall an ordinance that establishes an ongoing one-cent sales tax be adopted, providing an estimated 2 million dollars annually for the City of Del Mar, requiring citizen oversight and independent audits, and all funds controlled locally?
— Del Mar Transactions and Use TaxReferendum —
City of Del MarMeasure Q Referendum - Majority Approval Required
Here is some helpful information about this ballot measure from trusted sources.
Measure Q is a transactions and use tax within the City of Del Mar that would tax retail sales at one percent (1%) of the retail sales price, i.e. one cent for an item that costs one dollar
The Del Mar City Council approved Measure Q at its meeting of August 1, 2016 and requested that San Diego County place Measure Q on the ballot at the November 8, 2016 general election.
The current sales tax rate in Del mar [sic] is 8%. The City receives 1%. The State General Fund receives 3.9375%. San Diego County receives 1.8125%. Proposition 30 receives 0.25%. Proposition 172 receives 0.5% and SANDAG receives 0.5%
Measure Q is a "transactions and use tax" as opposed to a "sales tax." A transactions and use tax is collected in the same manner as a traditional sales tax with minor exceptions. Measure Q would authorize a one percent (1%) transactions and use tax which would increase the combined sales tax rate in Del Mar to nine percent (9%). Taxes collected pursuant to Measure Q would be deposited into the City's general fund and used for any purpose for which general fund revenues may be used. Measure Q is classified as a general tax and not a special tax. General tax proceeds may be used for any municipal purpose including, but not limited to, undergrounding utilities, street improvements, park improvements, police, fire, senior programs and youth programs. Retailers collect the tax from customers at the time of a retail purchase and remit the funds to the State Board of Equalization, which administers the tax. The tax will be paid by anyone, including residents of Del Mar, who purchase goods at retail establishments within Del Mar. In addition, Del Mar residents will be required to pay the tax when they purchase an automobile, boat or aircraft anywhere in California and register it to an address in Del Mar.
Measure Q requires oversight by a citizens committee. In addition, expenditures of Measure Q funds are subject to audit by the City's auditors. Any report by the citizens committee as well as any audit are public records and available for inspection by any member of the public.
Measure Q will be approved if it receives a simple majority of "Yes" votes.
/s/ Leslie E. Devaney, City Attorney
Measure Q is estimated to generate approximately $2 million of revenue annually.
YES vote means
A "Yes" vote is a vote in favor of the tax.
NO vote means
A "No" vote is a vote against the tax.
Arguments FOR
Based upon the goals of the Community Plan and community input, the City of Del Mar maintains a list of capital projects that are important to the community, but must be scheduled for completion over an extended period of time because funding is not available.
Increasing the sales tax rate by 1% enables the City to fund projects that are important to the community, but not yet included in the City budget such as Shores Park development, the undergrounding of utility wires, Streetscape, public landscapes, public safety and other General Fund projects.
At present Del Mar keeps 1% of the current 8% sales tax with the first 7% going to the State and County. The additional 1% increase would be fully retained by Del Mar. This increase would provide approximately $1.6 to $2.0 million per year in new revenues to help the City fund important projects.
Del Mar's ability to increase the sales tax for local projects is subject to a District Sales Tax cap. This means that if the available sales taxes are approved for County purposes, the City of Del Mar may not be able to increase its sales tax rate. This measure would allow Del Mar to capture its fair share of sales tax revenues for Del Mar specific projects.
Finally, it is estimated that the millions of visitors to Del Mar each year pay over 80% of the sales tax collected in Del Mar. Residents pay less than 20% of the sales tax. In effect, the funding for these priority projects is being spread across the millions of visitors to Del Mar each year through this sales tax increase. In effect, visitors will then pay their fair share of costs to make improvements in Del Mar.

I think the last I left you, I'd finished The Witch's Web, which seems like forever ago now. By finished, I mean it's written and edited, not proofread. Not much has changed about that one. It's still hanging out while I wait to hear if someone likes the story enough that they want to publish it rather than just self-publishing it for myself.
During the down time I've had, I wrote two other books. All three of the books hanging out are the first in three different series. I guess I have the rest of my year cut out for me continuing on three series. There is no overlapping going on as far as paranormal elements in any of the stories, and I like to think they're pretty unique.
Here's a short description of each of the books:
The Witch's Web
A day can really change your life. If Molly was honest with herself, her life changed in just one night. The one time she decided to be a little reckless turned out to be a blessing, and everything that happened afterwards couldn't take that away from her. That one night a miracle happened and Molly's daughter was created. The Witch's Web tells Molly's story right after she gives birth to her daughter. In it, Molly finds her life spinning out of control when it's revealed that the father of her little miracle isn't just an average guy out looking for a beer after a long day at work. He's really Jason from the Greek mythology stories her mother told her as a child, and he's got a witch for an ex, who's determined to make sure he doesn't have a family of his own.
Daughter of Gaia
No one ever expected Mother Nature to purge her planet when the living conditions got to a certain point, but two hundred years after The Wrath, as it's commonly called, life goes on. Tali is one of the five-hundred million people left alive, and she's what most would call a loner. Between going to class and fighting off unwanted affection from one of the most eligible bachelors around, Tali meets an intriguing newcomer and things get a little crazy when he turns out to be not as human as he pretends. Kidnapped by a man who grows gills when he's in the water, Tali learns there's a whole world out there that no one on the surface realizes.
The Nightwalker Knocks
For Assistant District Attorney Eleanor Denning, life couldn't be more perfect. She's working on one of the biggest cases in her career and her wedding is just around the corner. Other than the occasional sleeping through an alarm, there wasn't a lot of drama going on in her life. Then in one day, her case is taken away from her and she finds she's being followed by a sinister being, who even the local mob boss won't speak of. The perfect life Ellie knew is over, and she has to learn to pick up the pieces without the support system she was used to depending on.
So I have these three books kind of sitting around and I'm to the point I think I'd like to have some beta readers take a look at them. If you're interested in one or more, you can email me at email@example.com with what format works best for you and which book(s) you're interested in checking out.

Sony a6000 Hotshoe Repair Video Blows Up!
My quick and clean method of fixing the a6000 hotshoe got featured on Sony Alpha Rumors! Woot!
Flash Won't Work With The Sony a6000 Camera
Why Won't The Hotshoe Work On The a6000?
The Sony a6000 has a black powder coating (like a durable paint) that covers the entire hotshoe. In order for a flash to fire the flash has to make contact with at least 2 points on the hotshoe. The center conductor and the surrounding metal plate. The powder coating looks cool, but it makes a great insulator that keeps a flash or flash trigger from making contact. This video shows you how to address it. Continue reading

This video post has two parts. One part is a pretty simple way of using the RF-603N Radio Flash Triggers (designed for Nikon or Canon Cameras), with any camera with a hot shoe. I have Panasonic and Sony mirrorless cameras and I'd rather have one solution that works with both manufacturers. Continue reading
Ditching the G6 for a Panasonic GH3
While I liked the Sony NEX-6, it was missing some redeeming qualities of the Micro Four Thirds (m43) format.
First was size and weight, which can be a big issue when you shoot portraits. There aren't that many times when I've been the subject of a portrait, but large cameras can be intimidating and they are a reality with 35mm film and full frame digital cameras. Even the sound of the mirror can be off-putting to some subjects. Sony's APS-C sensor takes some of the size away, but most m43 lenses are even smaller and by necessity, wider.
Shooting with the Sony NEX-6
It seems like it's only been a couple of years that Digital cameras have really begun to match the quality of their film counterparts.
Welcome to the launch of People Places Things.
This is a portfolio site of my work as a Baltimore based photographer. Most of my work is editorial, for local and national magazines: Warfields, Parade, Child, and Architectural Digest to name a few. The assignments allowed me to travel and ultimately move from Baltimore to NYC.
The vast majority of the images here are of my personal work and haven't been published. It's a work in progress so there will be new content to come.
Thank you for your indulgence and I sincerely hope you find something here that makes you pause.

text: Humanities Religion & Spirituality Tips for Getting Over a Breakup for Christian Teens Putting the Heartache Behind You Share Flipboard Email Print Getty Images/Tomas Rodriguez Religion & Spirituality Christianity Christian Life for Teens Origins & Development The Bible The New Testament The Old Testament Living the Christian Faith Prayers Weddings Bible Devotions Denominations & Movements Funerals Holidays Entertainment Definitions Catholicism Islam Judaism Hinduism Buddhism Latter-Day Saints Taoism Alternative Religion Angels & Miracles Sikhism Holistic Healing Paganism / Wicca Astrology Atheism & Agnosticism View More by Kelli Mahoney Kelli Mahoney is a Christian youth worker who wrote articles on a wide range of Christian-themed topics, from Bible study to spiritual discipline. Updated February 13, 2019 So, dating isn't always the terrific thing we see on television. It's not always happy endings or riding off into the sunset. Unfortunately, sometimes heartbreak comes along to ruin the joy love has brought into your life. If you're one of those Christian teens who date in high school and college, then you probably know what it feels like when you break up with your boyfriend or girlfriend. Sometimes a breakup is mutual and easy like you've drifted from one type of relationship to another. For others, though, breakups can feel like your world has been turned upside down and the air becomes so thick it is hard to breathe. So, what if you are one of those Christian teens in the middle of a heart-wrenching, stop-the-presses breakup? How do you get over something when you feel like the pain will never go away? Experience the Pain Wait? You mean actually feel the hurt? Yes. Emotional pain is uncomfortable for those around you, mostly because they don't want to see you hurt. So, they try to cheer you up and do things for you to make you feel better. Sometimes those actions make you think you shouldn't be feeling pain or sadness for the loss of your relationship. Allowing yourself to feel the pain by crying, journaling, praying, etc. gives you the opportunity to explore parts of yourself and know what you are handing over to God as you go from heartache to moving on. Give It to God It sounds cliche, but there is a point when you may start wallowing in your breakup mode. It's okay to experience your pain, but it's not okay to let it take over your life. As you explore why you feel sad and you understand that it's okay to feel a loss, you need to also be handing over the breakup to God to help ease all the bad feelings you have. The process is not simple. Sometimes it is easier to hold onto feelings for your ex or anger than to move forward. By asking God to take it over, you allow him to free you from those feelings. Yet, you have to be willing to let him take those feelings away. Take a Break from Dating As God moves you forward and away from your breakup, you will be amazed at how the doors and windows open up to other dating relationships. Some Christian teens find comfort in what is sometimes called "relationship jumping," when they go straight from one relationship to another. The problem with relationship jumping is that Christian teens who do this tend to look to others to complete them rather than God. If someone really special comes into your life, it's okay to date again soon after a breakup, but be sure you are entering into the relationship for the right reasons and not use the other person as a crutch. Do Fun Things When You're Ready When a dating relationship ends, it's not the end of the world -- even if it feels that way. It is important to get out and live life. Yet, you also want to enjoy the things you do. When you feel like God is ready to take over your pain, get out and have some fun. Spend time with friends, go to a movie, join a pick-up game of football -- whatever you find enjoyable. As you spend time with people doing the things you love, you'll find that the pain starts to lift. Don't Force the Friendship With the Ex Your ex may want to stay friends. It's fine for many Christian teens, but sometimes breakups aren't all clean and easy. Sometimes they are messy and emotional. If it hurts you to be around your ex, be honest. It can mean feeling isolated a bit, especially when you share a group of friends. Yet, denying your own feelings and re-opening wounds isn't good either. Be Patient Yes, it's the biggest cliche piece of advice, but it's also true. Breakups hurt, and time and distance from the relationship will allow you to heal. God has a way of working in your heart to heal the hurt. Every day the pain will lessen bit by bit until you're really over the relationship. Don't worry if it takes you time to get over the relationship, everyone heals at different rates. Accept a Helping Hand For some people, moving on from a relationship is extremely difficult. These people hold onto the pain and never seem to be able to let it go, and often they don't want to. If you're having trouble letting go of a boyfriend or girlfriend, try talking to your parents, a youth leader, or pastor. Seek help. If your friend is having difficulty, ask how you can help him/her move on. Sometimes it can help to see a Christian counselor. Continue Reading

In this beyond of shreds
of sparkling fragments
of star dust, lies a black flying box
it's shaped like an ox
big Havana sign:
on it writes, pen like a stylish-fox:
I go in, and I see a giant, in loom
a black man, smoking a pipe, smiling with the moon
he's on one of them elderly chairs for elderly folk,
rolling back and forth,
and I ask of Friendship.
He puts a hand in his 'fro, takes out his monocle
and says, after each sentence pausing for effect:
"Young man, we're all "troubled",
And unless you accept the other's trouble
You will be troubled alone"
He breathes deeply.
"Do not push people away from
or because of the troubledness
For you, yourself, are troubled
When we embrace the differences
Big and scary as they are
We can connect to the hive mind
And sometimes act as one".
I thank the shrink.
(I turn to leave, he says:
"Kid! Wait."
"Unless they're fascists."
He winks.
We chuckle. )
The African-American giant hands me a funk record.
I take a subway away, though space-time,
(not a lot of people on train at the end of this line
but there's a few, nodding, drinking tea)
and I stop at the station of the Real.
I hitchhike from the bathroom to the bed,

Fueled by a report from the conservative Boston Herald, right wing media outlets such as Fox News, the New York Post, and the Washington Times, are demonizing government assistance programs by tying them to the heinous terror attacks committed at the Boston Marathon. Conservative blogs used sensationalized headlines and rhetoric to make their attacks, like RedState's "Does The US Welfare System Benefit Jihadists?" and Monica Crowley's "Nice Return on Our Investment, Huh?"Like Limbaugh:
On April 24, 2013, the Boston Herald published a report that claimed, "Marathon bombings mastermind Tamerlan Tsarnaev was living on taxpayer-funded state welfare benefits even as he was delving deep into the world of radical anti-American Islamism."
In addition to the Drudge Report, RedState, and Monica Crowley, the story was also picked up by Fox Nation, Breitbart.com, The Daily Caller, the New York Post, the Washington Times, and others.
LIMBAUGH: Now we hear that the entire Tsarnaev family was on welfare. How could he not be an Obama supporter?
So we have another great example of your tax dollars at work. Your tax money helped to pay for the explosives, as well as Tamerlan's at least two trips back to Dagestan, his late model Mercedes, his $900 shoes. No wonder this guy hated America.
If liberals were as shameless as wingnuts, they'd be screaming about how the right wing is "politicizing" the attack for their own aims. Which they are.
It's hard to understand what they think the meaning of this is. They are reporting it as a state program (obviously, since federal "welfare" has been drastically cut back.) Do they think that being on government assistance caused this guy to become a jihadist so we should get rid of all welfare programs because they make people terrorists? (At least that's original --- usually they are obsessing about "dependency.") Or would they just they just like to prohibit all Muslims from collecting government benefits just in case they might be extremist or nuts with a grievance?
It's hard to know exactly what they've extrapolated from this random fact and none of it makes much sense. So I think it's safe to assume that it's just their usual lizard brain bigotry has been activated and it's making them scream incoherently. And as usual, all their pleasure receptors are going crazy as well --- the orgasmic feeling of a wingnut being able to link "welfare" and "terrorism" is vividly on display. I'm buying brain bleach futures as we speak.

From 2008, I have been using Everytrail to embed my walks into my walklog. However, it has been bought by Alltrails. From 2014, therefore, I am mostly using ShareYourAdventure. This has the definite advantage of using OS maps in Great Britain, which no other similar website does as far as I know. It also automatically links to my Flickr photos. I have also used Ramblr but there is a limit to the number of photos per trip (100).

Not all wooden floors can be reconditioned. This will depend on the kind and type of hardwood; it addresses the technique of rejuvenation. Manufacturers make two types of hardwood – unfinished and prefinished. Prefinished hardwood is used quick installation as it is already protected by some layers of lacquer and offers a finished look. You can easily count up to 7 layers of lacquer on a single piece of hardwood. To modify the color and pattern of the similar type of wood the manufacturers put various colors of stain on the hardwood.
The types of wood floors are also separated into engineered and solid hardwood. Their major difference is that the engineered wood floors includes multiple layers, the upper one is a purely natural wood. Solid wood is made up totally of a solid wood without any layers.
The quickest and easiest hardwood to refinish contains solid wood. The re-finishing method is quite fast. However if your floors are made from engineered hardwood, then your floor's replacement will be based completely on the thickness of the genuine wood.
If you would like to refinish wood floors that you get from the previous property owner, you must look for information whether the old owner was maintaining it. This can be done quite easily, in particular when you know the way. But if you don't know how to refinish, you can leave the job to the professional refinishing service this, look thoroughly at the corner in which the floor meets with the baseboard. When you observe that there is a dark strip of outdated wood floors this indicates that it has previously been refinished.
With a wood floor refinishing Mamaroneck NY , homeowners will no longer be concerned about such decisions as experts knows just what type of refinishing solutions to give any specific floor . They are qualified professionals who have been working for any flooring services, and therefore they can finish the job with excellent quality. Also, they can examine the floors and make an estimation of how much time the refinishing will take and the total amount it may cost the property owner.

FLIP TOP - The steeple was removed from Mt. Olivet Church in downtown Seaford on Tuesday, Nov. 25. According to a spokesperson, the church originally wanted to renovate the steeple, but when construction began, the wood supporting the steeple was found to be rotting. The contractors working on the church, George W. Plummer and Son and TJF and Sons, devised a plan to reinforce the steeple and lift it off without risking damage to the tower. The church does not plan to replace the steeple.

Satoshi Omura: From Night-School Teacher to Nobel Winner
Satoshi Omura's path to the Nobel Prize began when he was teaching high-school science at a public night school in Tokyo.
Dr. Omura, an emeritus professor at Kitasato University, was one of three people awarded the Nobel for medicine Monday for discoveries leading to a drug against a parasitic disease that can cause blindness.
He said at a news conference that in his youth he was an indifferent student. He attended Yamanashi University in his home prefecture and after graduating in 1958 took a job as a science teacher in eastern Tokyo at a school attended by factory workers.
Some of the students made fun of him for his Yamanashi dialect and asked him to explain what he was saying, turning the science class into a language class, he said.
At the news conference, he recounted this story: One night, a laborer rushed into the classroom just in time to take a test, his arms still covered in grease from his day job. This shocked Dr. Omura out of his complacency and made him regret his earlier ways. "These folks are studying so hard, and what am I?" he said he asked himself. After that, he began his graduate studies at the Tokyo University of Science.
Dr. Omura said his life's work has been to find useful substances in microbes. "I've always been thinking all the time about what we might be able to do borrowing the power of microbes—whether there is something useful in them, even a little bit."
He talked about going through thousands of microbe samples to find useful substances, and he said he would take home dirt samples when he thought a particular area might have something interesting—such as when he was playing golf. "I've taken them while I was playing," he said.
The sample that led to the discovery of the drug later called ivermectin was discovered near a golf course in Kawana on the Izu Peninsula not far from Tokyo, as this article by Dr. Omura recounts. However, he said at the news conference that he wasn't playing golf on that occasion.

Split Pea Soup and Cornbread (read below for links)
If you're reading this on Monday, you know that today is the day when Eric and I—and a group of very brave friends—attempt to reckon with a combined harvest of about 200 pounds of apples and pears. We'll be at it from the time we get back from a morning hike, and we won't stop until we seal the last lid on the last jar.
On our list: pear and applesauce, pear-ginger spread, apple butter, hard-apple cider, pear tart, apple crisp.
And we're not limiting ourselves to apples and pears, either. I'm also planning on trying my hand at a roasted corn and three-pepper salsa, raspberry vinegar, and chamomile-herb bitters. (Recipes all to follow, I promise!)
I imagine that after today, we'll have a lot of different dishes to try (and, with all the tasting we'll be doing throughout the day, I'm not sure we'll even be hungry for a meal), but just in case, I'm planning on having a simple, smoky split-pea soup cooking in the crockpot, and an adapted version of recipe of this gluten-free sweet potato cornbread with jalapeños.
Expect a full report soon!
Grilled Salad with avocado, fresh salsa (from Monday!), and rice substituted for the wheat berries
Shopping List: (for salad): 3 bell peppers (any color); 2 zucchinis, sliced in half lengthwise; 6 ears of corn, husk removed (this is where our roasted corn salsa will come in handy); 2 cups cooked black beans; 1/2 cup uncooked wheat berries (optional); (for dressing): 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil; 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (2 limes); 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar; 2 small garlic cloves, minced; 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro (or herb of choice); 1 teaspoon maple syrup (or other sweetener); 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard; sea salt & pepper, to taste
Spicy Tomato and Chickpea Soup
Shopping List: 1 tablespoon olive oil; 1/2 large yellow onion, diced; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 stalk celery, diced; 3 large tomatoes, about 3 cups diced; 1 1/2 cups water or vegetable stock; 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, pureed into a paste; 1 tablespoon tamari; 2 cups cooked chickpeas; 1 teaspoon smoked paprika; 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin; 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger; 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander; 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper; 1 teaspoon dried parsley; 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crumbled; 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano; 1/4 teaspoon dried basil; salt and pepper, to taste
Can serve with: crumbled gluten-free crackers, salad greeens
Zucchini Strand Spaghetti (adapted from Smitten Kitchen)
Shopping List: salt and freshly ground black pepper; 3/4 pound gluten-free dried spaghettini; 3/4 pound zucchini; 1/4 cup olive oil; 2 tablespoons minced garlic; 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes; 3 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh basil leaves; 1/2 cup vegan Parmesan cheese

A new year, and a new start as they say ? No new start. We did that when we moved into the house. And no promises either, they're only there to be broken.
But we had a very nice 2 weeks off from work and also a lot of computer free time. Amazing what one can do with loads of free time. Of course a lot of it went into preparing Christmas parties and a New Year's Eve party (thank you B and M family, it was wonderful). Having friends and family staying over … It's all part of the being new house owners I guess.
But I managed to get out with Milla to Isaberg for 2 days with one of her cousins. A perfect place to spent a couple of days with the family skiing. A 2 hour drive instead of going through hell (5+ hours) to get up north.
Not that she ever had been standing on skis before, that was the point…. To get her feel what it's like. She tried. She was brave. I hope, no I know she will want to try this again.
