Thanks, I really enjoyed it!
I've seen all the episodes and read all the graphic novels. In general terms, the show is pulling on the basic story lines, but within those lines there is wide deviation. I like the choice of Ruth Nega as Tulip. She brings more of an independence to the character than the novels. Much of the other casting is close to the characters (although God could be a bit more God like). There are two things that are lacking in the show that made the novels compelling and enjoyable. The first is the comedy. You'd think a show from a "funny" guy like Seth Rogen would have plenty of laughs, but there just isn't as much I think there should be.
The other missing element in the show is the intense relationship between Tulip and Jesse is completely lacking. In the novels these two are deeply in love with each other and that drives many of the stories. I don't know if it's the writing or the actors, but the this is completely lacking in the show. Most of the time these two seem like they don't want to be in the same room with each other, let alone ripping their clothes off and getting after it. The lack of passion between these characters is going to ultimately kill this show. The viewer really needs to care about Tulip and Jesse to get completely invested. If the actors don't care, why should the audience. Since both actors can handle this emotion, especially Ruth, the failure falls on the show creators. Based on previous work from Seth, et al, these guys don't have the capacity to produce anything beyond superficial weirdness on the screen. I'll keep watching for the weirdness, but sadly this show could be so much more.

Business promotion is simple to do through content creation that is posted online. The content you create can be linked back to your business for promotion. This process is known as article advertising and provides your business with a way of reaching new customers. The following article explains how to market your business appropriately.
Your readers don't want to read unnecessary information; make sure the articles you provide are essential. Your readers, or prospective clients, want to feel like they are getting useful information out of your content. Give that to them and they will come back for more.
Consider outsourcing. When your writing isn't great, or you don't have a lot of time to spend writing, hire someone with talent to get the job done. This is a cost effective procedure, which will produce many profits in the long run.
Familiarize yourself with the various rules and guidelines of your article directory. There are different rules for submitting articles to different directories.
You can increase sales from your article advertising projects by focusing on one keyword per article. Use the keyword in the title, header and sub-headings as well as in the URL, if possible. Remember, to also use this keyword within the entire text of the article. When someone is searching for a specific keyword it will be easier for them to find your site because it is so keyword rich.
The headline of your article is important. An interesting headline will catch visitor's attention easier than a boring headline. Throw around a few ideas prior to picking a headline. You could also ask someone else what they think.
The title can carry even more weight than the actual article. Readers see a dull headline and automatically assume that the article itself is just as dull. Make it reader-friendly and appropriate to your topic. It will give the reader a taste of what is to come.
Before marketing an article, observe content already available from the publisher and other articles that address the same topic. This will help the writer's to be effective when marketing their own articles.
Promote another article in each one you write. Include links to your previous articles when you're writing new ones. This practice is perfectly acceptable and can even add to an Internet user's reading experience. Be proud of the work that you have done!
Do you ever find yourself feeling less than inspired for article ideas? Shake things up by writing something from a point of view other than your own. If you are writing about travel, you could narrow that focus to include only one or two niches. Write tips for families about traveling with children. Or perhaps you could tell seniors how to travel safely given their specific concerns. If you can provide advice that solves audience dilemmas, your articles will remain popular.
You can now start your article marketing plan thanks to the tips from this article. This type of marketing is just one way of promoting your business, and should be used in combination with additional marketing techniques to produce the best results.

With havin so much written content do you ever run into any problems
of plagorism or copyright infringement? My blog has a lot of unique content
I've either created myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my permission. Do you know any ways to help reduce content
from being ripped off? I'd really appreciate it.

Full name: Ashley Allyn Roberts
DOB: September 14, 1981
Place of birth: Phoenix, Arizona, US
Occupation: Singer, dancer and former Pussycat Doll
She began moving at three and singing at eight. Diligent work pays off.
Her father was a drummer for The Mamas and Papas.
She has a visitor appearance in Carmen Electra's Strip Tease video
She's a Pussycat doll, is that enough? Nah, she has substantially more to offer than hot move moves and some not too bad vocals. In spite of the fact that her little stumble into the domains of I'm a Celebrity in 2012 was somewhat of a naff move, it created the nearest voting outcomes in a reality demonstrate finals regularly, demonstrating that she is in certainty grisly exquisite.
While she is tinkering on her performance vocation and keeping fit as a fiddle, she is putting forth her master assessment to competitors on Dancing on Ice this year. While that is just fine we'd much rather observe her toss a few moves.

It seems to me that our minds organize things in hierarchies, or "graphs". Not "graphs" like a chart, but graph as in an organized matrix of data. I think that because: I'm constantly drawn to software that represents graphs in a useful way. In my travels I've run across and use a few different products. Each has pros and cons, but I thought I'd enumerate what I use and see if you have recommendations for this topic. In this post I'll cover:
- Microsoft OneNote
- Workflowy.com
- Neo4J graph database
- Freeplane mind mapping software
What is mind mapping?
This is basically just the concept of organizing information in a drill-down style format. You can organize just about anything with a mind map. For example, here is a draft of a mind map for this very post (done with Freeplane):
As you can see, you can organize, roll-up, and drill-into whatever level of detail that you want. This is a pretty cool visualization, but how can this be used? Here are some ideas:
- Study – when you read a book, create a mind map for it. Start with chapters as one level, then sections as the next level, then the key items and links beyond that.
- Business Owner – organize the structure of your business including vendors you use, contact information, etc.
- Problem Solving – when you have some problem to solve, start breaking down the major obstacles, then drill into each and expand them. You can "map out" your problem domain – which will make it easier to solve.
The point is, there is no real limitation, here. This software and concept allow you to "map" your thoughts in a way that is more intuitive for our brains. However, since we are in the year 2017 currently – there is really good, powerful software that can now help us!
Microsoft OneNote:
This is the product most people are familiar with and most people use. I was blown-away when I was first exposed to it (www.onenote.com).
I now use this heavily in my person and work life. OneNote lets you organize things by:
- Notebook – one notebook per major category. For example, "Personal", "Work", "Company X", etc.
- Section Groups – a container for related sections.
- Sections – a category or topic.
- Pages – where you actual put your content.
- Sub-pages – these are regular pages, but they are nested as children under other pages.
This gives you a general set of levels to store whatever kind of information you need to store:
OneNote is an outstanding tool for organizing information, your life, your business, your study, or whatever. It's FREE to use, there are native apps for all platforms (including mobile):
- Windows
- macOS
- Adndroid
- iOS
- Web browser (for Linux clients)
There is no native Linux application for this. So, if you use Linux as your workstation OS, you have to use OneNote in the browser via their web app, and your notebooks need to be stored in OneDrive.
If there is any other downside to OneNote, it's that it doesn't give you any other way to visually walk through your data. You can browse by notebook, section, and page – and search through all of your notebooks, but it doesn't graphically show you a mind map.
I ran across this website a couple of years ago – www.workflowy.com. It's a VERY cool mind-map, web-based tool and it's very well-done. It's FREE to use and you can try it out here:
There is one big downside to this though: you have to create an account and store your data on their website. The app (and the database) is available via this companies website. I feel things like mind maps should be offline, and there should be very high security around them. This particular tool doesn't seem to have the same goals. If they ever made an offline version or made it so you could stand up your own local Workflowy site on-prem, then this would be an amazing contender in this market.
This is also in a somewhat awkward space: you don't have the rich editing that you have with OneNote, but you also don't have a visual graph or mind map of your data. Despite that, I have found Workflowy to be an excellent tool to brainstorm ideas or organize my thoughts.
Neo4J Graph Database:
I came across graph database last year when I had a ton of disparate, but similar data that I needed to keep track of. A traditional RDBMS wasn't a good fit, and a NoSQL database was OK, but I'd have to write an app for the front-end.
Neo4J (www.neo4j.com) is a graph database with a built-in web UI. This stores hierarchical data AND gives you a really powerful web UI to add/edit/and query the data in the graph. To get a sense of how cool and powerful this product is, check out this online sandbox:
What I REALLY like about Neo4J is that I can store my data in a "Cypher" text file and bring up my graph whenever I want. You can also just leave your data in a permanent database if you want. However, I think the power of this is that you can download the client, and just start up a database engine whenever you need to work with your data.
So, the Neo4J web UI lets you graphically see the connections between your data elements. You can see John Doe and a "WORKS_FOR" connection to WalMart for example, and drill-down or roll-up the data that you don't want to see right now.
This makes a great tool for mapping relationships between data elements, but is way to cumbersome and has no features to replace OneNote or Workflowy. Neo4J is a great map to store a map/graph of data elements (similar to a regular database), but it is NOT suited for storing rich content.
I was re-installing my workstation and ran across this "mind mapping" software. Don't let the Netscape Navigator 1.0-compliant website fool you – this is pretty amazing tool!
Better, is it does have a native client for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Which leads me to why I started writing this blog post – check out this video about the potential of using Freeplane. It's really quite an amazing tool and an interesting video! See this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCfGAuHJk0s (:19 mins)
Despite how cool this is, this too is not the Holy Grail or the ultimate answer.
Bottom Line:
First, if you aren't using some sort of mind mapping software right now, the options above give you a place to start. Unfortunately, there is no one tool that does everything that I want. In my mind, the ideal scenario would be:
- Rich content and formatting, like OneNote
- Organazing content, like OneNote
- An additional quick data-entry mode, like Workflowy
- A quick platform to stand up your data, like Ne04J
- A UI that lets your see the relationships beween disparate data elements, like Neo4J
- An additional UI to OneNote that lets you walk down into your related data, and lets your view it like a "mind map", since that's technically what OneNote is!
So, until that exists, I continue to use some of each of these. I did a quick search and see there are now several new mind map software products around which run on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Can you recommend a good software product for this?

France's Sagna completes Benevento move
Former Manchester City and Arsenal right-back Bacary Sagna has officially completed his move to Serie A bottom club Benevento, the Italian side confirmed on Saturday.
The French international, who turns 35 this month, has been without a club since being released by Pep Guardiola last summer.
"The French defender of Senegalese origins signed a contract that binds him to the Giallorossi club until next 30th June with an option for extension until 30 June 2019," the side from Naples said in a statement.
"Bacary Sagna will be available to coach (Roberto) De Zerbi from next week."
Sagna joined Arsenal from Auxerre in 2007 and established himself as one of the best right-backs in the Premier League.
He won the FA Cup in his final season with the Gunners in 2014, before moving to City where he won the League Cup in 2016.
He played 65 times for France between 2007 and 2016.
Promoted Benevento -- with just seven points from 22 games -- host leaders Napoli, who are on 57, on Sunday before travelling to Roma next week.
Benevento set a record for the worst start to a season in the top five European leagues losing their first 14 games, before snatching their first point against AC Milan when goalkeeper Alberto Brignoli scored a last-gasp equaliser.

Partners for Sustainable Forests is a joint venture between forest, wildlife, and conservation agencies in Pennsylvania to provide forest landowners with the information and assistance necessary to sustainably manage their land.
Over 70 percent of Pennsylvania's forests are privately owned. That equals 12 million acres of land owned by more than 740,000 Pennsylvanians.
It is important for Pennsylvania's forest landowners to learn how to sustainably manage their forests. Forests are a renewable resource that must be managed wisely to provide wood products, wildlife habitat, clean water, and recreational opportunities in a sustainable fashion. Learning to manage your forestland today can help ensure it will be there as a viable resource in the future.
Partners for Sustainable Forests can help you become a better steward of your forest resource. Our partner agencies can help provide you with the information to plan, take action, and make smart decisions about your land.
Learn how to make the right decisions about:
Growing healthy and sustainable forests begins with you. Become a responsible steward of your forestland today.
This organization works to enhance locally led efforts that support the wise use of the state's natural resources and serves as the collective voice for Pennsylvania's 66 county conservation districts. Conservation districts provide assistance for a range of issues unique to their county such as abandoned mines, environmental education, erosion and sedimentation pollution control, forest management, and water quality protection.
Phone: 717-238-7223 PA Association of Conservation Districts website
Organized within the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, the Pennsylvania Bureau of Forestry offers a range of information and technical assistance to woodland owners. Service foresters meet with private forest landowners, examine their forestland, make management recommendations, and review forest stewardship plans prepared by other professionals. The bureau also provides technical assistance on activities that qualify for federal Farm Bill programs.
Phone: 717-214-3814 PA Bureau of Forestry website
The nation's oldest grassroots state organization devoted to forest conservation promotes the proper management of Pennsylvania's forests. Membership is open to all interested in the stewardship of Pennsylvania's forest resources. The primary role of the association is providing education through their quarterly magazine, newsletter articles, special nature trips, and other for-sale publications.
Phone: 800-835-8065PA Forestry Association website
This program, organized by the Penn State Extension Natural Resources team, trains volunteers in the principles of forest stewardship so they can share what they learned with other forest landowners. Pennsylvania Forest Stewards initially receive 40 hours of classroom and field training. In exchange, Pennsylvania Forest Stewards agree to invest a like amount of their time relaying what they learned to motivate forest landowners in their communities. Participants in the program are selected through a nomination process.

Game Commission wildlife diversity biologists are available to provide free technical assistance to landowners about how they can manage their property for wildlife through the Private Landowner Assistance Program (PLAP). This program focuses on providing critical habitat for species of greatest conservation need and overall wildlife diversity. After an initial telephone contact, the biologist will determine if there is reasonable habitat potential for these species and may conduct a site visit to further evaluate the property. Specific habitat improvement opportunities for the property are discussed and later detailed in a management plan. Tree and shrub seedlings, publications, and nesting structures are available for purchase from the Pennsylvania Game Commission.

Sugar is harm to the Health
Awareness of its harmful effects has increased dramatically in the past few years. Despite what some people would have you believe, empty calories are just the tip of the iceberg. Sugar, due to its high amount of the simple sugar fructose, can wreak havoc on your metabolism. Consumed in excess, it causes high cholesterol and triglycerides, insulin resistance and fat buildup in the liver and abdominal cavity. Added sugar (and its evil twin… high fructose corn syrup) is believed to be a key driver of some of the world's leading killers… including obesity, diabetes, heart disease and even cancer.
Agave nectar (often called Agave syrup) is a very popular sweetener in the natural health community. This sweetener is touted as a healthy alternative to sugar because it has a low glycemic index. The glycemic index (GI) is the potential of foods to lead to rapid spikes in blood sugar. Some studies show that eating a lot of high GI foods is unhealthy. But the harmful effects of sugar have very little to do with the glycemic index and everything to do with the large amount of fructose and Agave is high in fructose.
Fructose doesn't raise blood sugar or insulin in the short term, but when consumed in high amounts it leads to insulin resistance a long-term effect that will chronically elevate blood sugar and insulin levels. Having blood sugars go up for a short time isn't that bad, but having them chronically elevated (high all the time) is a recipe for disaster.
Organically grown sugar is still sugar and whether it is "raw" or not doesn't make any difference. The way this sweetener is processed may be different from the "regular" sugar you find on the supermarket shelves, but the chemical composition is exactly the same. Most importantly, your body won't recognize the difference. It will break the sugar down into glucose and fructose in the digestive tract and it will have the exact same effects on your metabolism.
This is plain deception by the food manufacturers, done in order to hide the true sugar content of foods from the consumer. Really… if you see "evaporated" and "juice" in the same word on an ingredients label, it should make you wonder what else the manufacturer is trying to hide from you.
When the sweetener reaches your intestine and liver, your body won't recognize any difference between "evaporated juice" and plain old sugar or high fructose corn syrup.
When sugar is made, molasses form as a by-product. Sometimes, after the sugar has been refined and processed, small amounts of molasses are added back into it.
This gives the sugar a brown color and it is then called brown sugar. Molasses are about 50% sugar, but they also contain a small amounts of minerals. Put simply, brown sugar is regular sugar diluted with a slightly less unhealthy, less concentrated sugar.
Coconut sugar is derived from the sap (sugary circulating fluid) of the coconut plant. The manufacturing method is very natural… it simply involves extracting the sugary fluid, then allowing the water to evaporate. Coconut sugar contains a small amount of fiber and a few nutrients, while also having a lower glycemic index than regular sugar.
But again… the glycemic index is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the harmful effects of sugar. What really matters is whether this product is high in fructose or not. Coconut sugar is actually very high in fructose. It contains a small amount of free fructose, but 75-80% of it is sucrose, which is half fructose.
Therefore, the total fructose content of coconut sugar is somewhere around 35-45%, give or take. Due to the slightly smaller amount of fructose than sugar, and the tiny amounts of fiber and nutrients, you could say that coconut sugar is less unhealthy than regular sugar, gram for gram.
Honey contains some nutrients… including antioxidants and trace amounts of vitamins and minerals. It is about 80% sugar, by weight. That being said, several studies have compared honey and plain sugar and noted that honey had slightly less harmful effects metabolism. Like coconut sugar, honey is "less bad" than regular sugar.
If you're healthy, having some quality honey in moderation is probably fine. It is definitely a better choice than plain sugar or high fructose corn syrup.
But honey is not a harmless sweetener and certainly won't help you lose weight, like some people would have you believe.
Home Message
All the sugar you eat will go down to your intestine, get broken down into glucose and fructose and eventually reach the liver. Your liver does not know (or care) whether the sugar you eat is organic or not.

Key topics discussed at the conference included the role of sacred sites in religious traditions, how sacred sites form part of the development of modern tourist industries, and the role of sacred sites in international relations. The conference also featured panels on Asian, Pacific, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives on sacred sites.
The conference was opened by College of Asia and the Pacific Dean Professor Michael Wesley on Thursday 5 April. The keynote speakers were Professor Eileen Barker from the London School of Economics, and Emeritus Professor Elizabeth Minchin from ANU.
The attendees came from across the globe, including Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Taiwan, Israel, the Czech Republic, South Korea, Japan, New Zealand and the United States, including many PhD candidates and religious leaders.
The conference dinner was held at the Great Hall in University House and was preceded by a beautiful performance of traditional Indian music by Radha and Siva Kalyan.
On Saturday, participants were also treated to a tour of Canberra including the Telstra Tower, the Australian War Memorial, Parliament House and a visit to some friendly kangaroos, who charmed our international guests.
An edited collection will be produced with contributions from a number of conference attendees.
The committee would like to thank everyone who helped make the conference a success, especially the group of enthusiastic student volunteers.

A group of Kiwis wasn't going to let a small thing, like a ban on alcohol in public places, stop them from celebrating the New Year with a few drinks. Instead of simply succumbing to the requirement, they took advantage of Sunday afternoon's low tide and built an island out of sand out in the waters of the Tairua estuary.
The Coromandel, in New Zealand, banned liquor from public areas over the New Year period, preventing revelers from enjoying adult beverages while celebrating the holiday.
But, one group found a solution, building a sand island in the Tairua estuary and placing a picnic table on the mound, allowing them to enjoy a drink "in international waters," according to a declaration from the partiers and as reported by Stuff.
A member of the group stated that, from the safety of their sand fort, everyone was able to circumvent the liquor ban, giving them a chance to drink well into the night and enjoy the fireworks show.
Sandra Goudie, the Thames-Coromandel mayor, made comparisons between the group and those who started Radio Hauraki.
"That's the one thing I absolutely love about the Coromandel: the inventive nature of the people," said Goudie. "It's about creativity; the legal reality is somewhat different."
According to Inspector John Kelly, the Waikato eastern area commander, the local police weren't aware of the attempt to get around the ban.
"That's creative thinking," said Kelly. "If I had known that, I probably would have joined them."
Police were enforcing the restrictions at all beaches in the Coromandel, but did not encounter the partiers who built the island in the water, whose activities may not have been entirely legal, based on the alcohol-related restrictions.
Based on the local law, police are able to enforce a liquor ban, including by searching vehicles without prior notice, as long as at least one sign is clearly visible that indicates the restriction is in place.
Without appropriate signage, law enforcement must allow a person to remove the alcohol from the area.
As of Monday morning, the sand island was still visible and appeared to be intact.

Deuteronomy 8:3; Matthew 4:4
From: Eyewitness: p 34
In Your Bible: Matthew 4:1-11; Deuteronomy 8 (entire chapter)
What are your basic daily needs? Most of us would include water, air, food, sleep, and probably money. God has a much different view on needs than we fully understand or begin to realize.
Yes, we need water, air and food. But do we consider the unmentioned key basic need – knowing and obeying God? He promised he would be our source, if we believed and trusted in him. From the beginning with Adam and Eve, every biblical hero, to believers today – God revealed we need him and must obey him!
When the Israelites fled Egypt and had no water or food in the desert, they complained to Moses:
* God heard their cry
* God told Moses how to sweeten the bitter water at Marah using a tree (Ex 15:23-27 NASB)
* Later when the Israelites were hungry, God provided bread from heaven (manna) for their daily food (Ex 16:3-32 NASB)
* God fed them and reminded them to obey Him
* God showed them He was their need
His words are the source – Jesus sets the example
After Jesus was baptized by John, the Spirit led him into the desert for forty days. He fasted all this time and was very hungry. The first challenge by Satan focused on Jesus' physical need. The tempter knew Jesus was the Son of God and Jesus knew his ability to perform miracles was not the reason for this test.
Satan challenged Jesus to prove who he is. He commanded Jesus to turn stones into bread – show you are a miracle worker. No way was that going to happen. Jesus quick reply was to quote Deuteronomy 8:3, "People do not live by bread only, but by everything God says."
Even at his weakest physical state, Jesus didn't waver. We must know what God says or shows us. Jesus referred to the time when God commanded the Israelites to remember how much he did for them. God's words will sustain us even today – believe it.
Let's redirect our thinking on basic needs – "And my God shall supply all our needs according to His riches in in glory in Christ Jesus" (Phil 4:19 NASB). Yes, God's word remains our first source to live by. Live by every word God has for you – The Word written, read, spoken, life breathed into you.
Application: Read his Word and listen to his voice. See how he cared for Israel. See how much he loved – he gave his only Son that you may have life in him. He says my words will sustain you!
Prayer: Father, I want to chew on these Scriptures, mull them over, take them to heart, and hear your voice. Help me live by them.

It is the prince of grape varieties in the winemaking world and represents pure excellence in the wines made from it. It requires a lot of care, both from the vine grower and the wine producer, it doesn't give consistent results, it needs climates with a good temperature range and, when the environmental and soil conditions permit, it can produce wines of rare elegance and finesse of flavor. For this reason it has been planted in almost all of the winemaking regions in the world, except for those with hot climates that would produce "cooked" wines, and without the identity that has made it so famous. The origins of the variety probably date back to almost two thousand years ago and its presence in Burgundy is quoted in the fourth century AD.
In Italy we can only talk about the presence of Pinot Noir since the second half of the nineteenth century. Oltrepò, with almost 3000 hectares of Pinot Noir (about 500 of which are for making red wine) is the most important Italian region.
Physiologically the plant tends to bud early, exposing it firstly to the risk of spring frosts and then to the unfertilized flowers dropping off; it is very prone to downy mildew, powdery mildew and botrytis; it is precisely this fragility that has led to intense clonal selection since the 1970s, attempting to solve these problems.
It has small or medium-small leaves, rounded and three-lobed; the bunches are small (12-15 cm), cylindrical, often winged, compact; the berry is medium-sized, spheroid or slightly oval; the skins are medium-thick, blue-black and pruinose.
It is with this spirit of challenge that firstly the Mazzolino Estate and the Oltrepò vine dressers chose it as the variety par excellence, able to produce a noble and important red wine to lay down, the symbol of the winemaking culture and tradition of the region of origin.

A novel approach to treatment of non-healing corneal epithelial defects and dry eyes with self administration of finger prick autologous whole blood (FAB method)
Poster Details
First Author: J.Wawrzynski UK
Co Author(s): A. Sharma D. Armstrong J. Moore
Abstract Details
Back to Poster listing
Dry eye syndrome and chronic corneal epithelial defects that are resistant to standard medical therapy often require surgical management such as tarsorrhaphy, botulinum toxin induced ptosis or keratoplasty. Autologous serum eye drops have been found in controlled trials to be beneficial for patients with severe dry eyes and chronic corneal epithelial defects, improving the ocular surface and reducing symptoms. This is likely to be due to the presence of growth factors in the serum. However, there are several logistical and financial difficulties with using autologous serum. Obtaining autologous serum drops requires frequent venesection, which is contraindicated in some patients. The production of autologous serum is an expensive process that is not available as standard on the NHS. Obtaining funding can take several weeks to months if it is at all granted. There is a risk of ocular perforation whilst waiting for funding. The serum must be stored by the patient in the fridge in hundreds of separate bottles. In this study, we investigate whether fresh autologous blood (FAB) obtained by pricking the finger is a safe and effective alternative to autologous serum in the treatment of dry eyes and chronic corneal epithelial defects.
Mater Hospital Belfast Moorfields Eye Hospital
Four patients with persistent corneal epithelial defects resistant to full conventional medical therapy (including steroids and lubricants drops) were recruited. One ulcer was due to chemical trauma and the other three cases were secondary to herpes simplex neurotrophic ulceration. Two further patients with dry eyes secondary to Sjogren's syndrome were recruited. Both were resistant to full conventional medical therapy. Ocular examination including ulcer measurement and photograph documenting epithelial defect or dry eye staiing were carried out. Each patient continued with maximal medical therapy and also applied autologous blood to their affected eye(s) four times per day according to the following technique: A fingertip was wiped with an alcohol steret and self-pricked using a standard diabetic lancet. A drop of blood was produced and applied to the lower fornix of the affected eye with the lower lid pulled down slightly. Study design: Non-controlled prospective interventional case series.
Corneal Ulcers All four patients showed improved corneal epithelial healing within one week. All demonstrated complete healing within two weeks of commencing FAB therapy. There was a recurrence of an epithelial defect in one patient with herpetic neurotrophic ulceration following a period of initial re-epithelialisation: This was a case of dense neurotrophia which re-responded positively to increased use of autologous blood. Currently maintenance treatment of six times per day is required to maintain the epithelial surface and the patient has been on FAB therapy for approximately 30 months. Dry Eyes Both patients showed substantial improvement on both clinical examination and self-reported ocular comfort within two weeks. One dry eye patient symptoms and signs improved significantly after 6 weeks and the second case improved within 2 weeks. The first case had been on maximal medical treatment including topical cyclosporine for 3 years and the second case stated it was the most 'soothing drop' they have ever had straight away. Patients tolerated the treatment well and no patients suffered any adverse events.
This observational study provides evidence that suggests the use of FAB is a practicable, safe and effective treatment for persistent corneal epithelial defects and dry eyes due to Sjogrens syndrome. Patients on FAB treatment were found to have improved appearance of the ulcer/ dry eye on clinical examination and better ocular comfort on the OCI questionnaire within one or two weeks of commencing therapy. The results from this case series suggest that FAB is superior to maximal medical therapy and has a similar effect to autologous serum without suffering from the significant drawbacks that autologous serum necessarily brings with it. In contrast to autologous serum, all patients were able to start treatment immediately as soon as required as no application for funding is necessary. FAB treatment is inexpensive as it does not require the use of a blood bank to purify serum from whole blood and is entirely self-administered. Patients tolerated the treatment well and were able to carry out the treatment independently after initial tuition. This proof of concept study has resulted in the development of a robust protocol for subsequent recruitment of patients into a multicentre case control study to generate statistical evidence of the potential benefit.

Quinoa is a relatively quick-cooking grain, but the Instant Pot makes it even faster. It's also a very hands-off, heat friendly method—I don't turn on my stove or oven unless I have to in the hot, hot summer. The IP makes quick and easy work of healthy quinoa without heating up my kitchen. Score.
Instant Pot Quinoa
1 cup rinsed and drained quinoa (any color)
1 1/2 cups water or broth
1 teaspoon oil
1 big pinch salt
Combine all ingredients into the Instant Pot and shake the inner pot to level the quinoa and make sure it is all submerged. Secure the lid and cook at high pressure for 1 minute. Use a natural release and fluff with a fork.

Esther 2:1–18—How could Esther participate in a pagan beauty contest?
Problem: It is evident that Esther was selected by God as His instrument to deliver Israel from evil at the appointed time (Esther 4:14). However, as a devout Jew, how could Esther take part in a pagan pageant and then become part of the harem of King Xerxes?
Solution: First, it is not clear that Esther had a choice as far as being part of the display of beautiful women before the king. According to Esther 2:8, Esther was "taken to the king's palace." This seems to imply that Esther had no choice in the matter, but was drafted into the service of the king.
Second, it is not clear that participants in the pageant had to do anything explicitly immoral to be in the contest. Knowing Esther's character, we can be sure she would have refused to do anything contrary to God's law.
Finally, once she had been chosen by the king, she was compelled to belong to his court. It was the providence of God that brought Esther to this place at precisely the appropriate moment. When the time was right, Esther was willing to place her life on the line for the people of her God.

After four years of sliding farm income, the future looks much the same, said IFB's Mike Doherty. "Even though we are still selling our exports overseas, and we're capturing those sales, we have a declining share compared to South America, so it makes it more difficult for our farmers and it backs up our supply of corn and soybeans and we end up with lower domestic prices." Ninety-two percent of IFB members recently surveyed said they expect their financial health to deteriorate or remain the same next year. (WGLT)

Pugsly Christian
Today we're showing Pugsly Christian from Simply B Stamps, the first of seven new stamps. I was inspired by Kristy to color his hair with teal highlights, although I think she did a better job with the lighter browns. Oh well, something I can try next time. LOL Here's a close up of Christian perhaps on his way or from a birthday part...
I always need boy birthday cards so I broke away from the journals and tags and made this card using the Toy Box Collection paper theme from Crate Paper. I'm excited to say there are two more boy images in this release so I might actually get ahead and have a few extra! That would be something. :D Anyway, make sure you head on over to the SBS Blog to see what the other gals have made and hope your weekend is off to a fabulous start!

April's book round-up
• The New Moon with the Old by Dodie Smith - re-read
• Matter by Iain M. Banks (L)
• Leaven of Malice by Robertson Davies - re-read
• The Cat Who Could Read Backwards by Lilian Jackson Braun
• Tempest-Tost by Robertson Davies - re-read
• Fifth Business by Robertson Davies - re-read
• The Stabbing in the Stables by Simon Brett (L)
• More Than Love Letters by Rosy Thornton
• Lud-in-the-Mist by Hope Mirrlees
• A Short History of Myth by Karen Armstrong
• Dead to the World by Charlaine Harris (L)
• Crampton Hodnet by Barbara Pym
• The Cruellest Month by Hazel Holt
I've only just noticed how appropriate my first April book was, The Cruellest Month, by Hazel Holt. This was from early in her excellent Mrs Malory series, and is quite simply my favourite so far; I picked it off the pile to read having just returned from Oxford. Exhausted by a very demanding conference (or more exactly, very demanding delegates), I wanted something to remind me that it's a city I love, and it met my requirements perfectly. Sheila Malory sets off to combine a bit of quiet research in the Bodleian with a visit to her old college friend and some maternal fussing over her student son. Her friend also has a son, a pleasant but reserved young man, who gets on better with Sheila (his godmother) than he does with his bossy, outgoing mother, and he is quick to confide in Sheila over an accidental death in the library. The deceased wasn't a pleasant woman, and Tony is convinced that all is not as it seems. The ever inquisitive Sheila is soon chatting away to all and sundry, teasing out the background.
I read these books as I come across them, all in the wrong order, and it doesn't seem to matter in the least. Sheila is one of those people you dread sitting next to a train – she would have your life story out of you within the first hour, and you'd have confided things you wouldn't tell your best friend. Fortunately, unless you also happened to be a murderer, you wouldn't feel too uncomfortable about it, because she's so extremely nice, and she'd probably go off with your address so that she could send you that useful recipe for gingerbread – before you knew it, you'd be exchanging Christmas cards for years. But however comfortable a companion she may be, there's wit and intelligence there too, and a strong moral sense, but right to the end the reader doesn't know how Sheila will deal with the difficult decisions which are the inevitable result of her curiosity. Early books in the series are hard to come by (although US readers may find reasonably priced copies on Abebooks), but it's possible to find the later ones in libraries. If you can get hold of The Cruellest Month, do!
There will be more on April's books in the next few days, I hope, though blogging time is hard to find. I am now resigned to finding myself too tired to write in the evenings, so have resolved to try to find an hour or so before I start work in the mornings. I've never been an early bird, but now it seems that I'm no longer a night owl.

Spot on about Hazel Holt; you've got Sheila Malory beautifully. Like you, I've read the books out of order, prefer the earlier ones and am frustrated by how how hard they are to get hold of. I look wherever I go!ReplyDelete
Well, that was utterly perfect! I want her to be real! I haven't had any trouble so far getting the three I bought - Investigates, The Cruellest Month, and No Cure for Death. I went online and found used sellers. I often go to amazon.com and click on used and new, and find many sellers and low prices. I'm not sure, but I would guess amazon uk would be the same.ReplyDelete
I have The Crow Road by Banks yet to read, and I have read his 'whisky' book twice! And I'm not even a whisky drinker.
I'm very eager to hear about the others - especially the Thornton and Mirrlees and Pym books.
Thank you for just the best writeup!
Callmemadam, thanks, I've enjoyed blogging about them.ReplyDelete
Nan, I think they are much more readily available in the US, but one of the ways in which I try to limit my bookbuying, is by not ordering books from across the Atlantic unless there are exceptional circumstances. I talked about the Mirrless book recently, but Pym will have to wait a little until I have time to do her justice. I love The Crow Road.

Descending Triangle: Since pushing to a high on the year just under 1.28, USD/CAD has been consolidating in February. The 4H chart below shows the pair in a descending triangle pattern, where support around 1.2380 has been holding several times, while the resistance has been declining.
USD/CAD 4H Chart 2/20
(click to enlarge)
CAN Retail Sales: Today (2/20), Statistics Canada reported retail sales data for December. We saw a -2.0% reading for a month on month basis in December. The forecast was around -0.3%, and the previous reading was 0.4% in November. The core reading, excluding auto, came in at -2.3% after a 0.6% reading in November. Forecasts called for a print around -0.7%. For the headline number, -2.0% was the sharpest month to month dip since December 2012, when it came in at -2.1%.
USD/CAD Reaction: On the back of Canada's disappointing retail sales data, the USD/CAD was able to hold above the triangle support again and is now looking to test the triangle resistance around 1.26.
Bullish Continuation Scenario: A break above 1.26 can revive the uptrend and open up the 1.28 area again. In the monthly chart, we can see that USD/CAD has entered a support/resistance zone, but there is still room to rally until the 2008-2009 highs at and just above 1.30.
Consolidation/Correction Scenario: If USD/CAD holds below 1.26, then the consolidation is still going, but only a break below 1.2380 would signal further bearish correction. Above 1.2380-1.24, the market is neutral-bullish, with emphasis on the bullish component.

As much as we wish it weren't true, there's still some cultural stigma surrounding the idea of masturbation, even in today's progressive age — particularly for women. We're not sure why, exactly, self-pleasuring remains so taboo.
The truth of the matter? There's absolutely nothing embarrassing about it!
We talked to Dr. Kat Van Kirk, licensed marriage and sex therapist and resident sex expert for Adam and Eve, about the intriguing reasons to get your rocks off all on your own. And boy, are they juicy!
"Frankly, masturbation is a public health issue. Research suggests that women and men who learn to masturbate early have higher self-esteem and are less likely to have early unprotected sex, a lower incidence of STDs, and higher satisfaction when it comes to their sex life later on."

In times where many contractors are worried about getting the job done it is refreshing to know there is someone like Jimmy out there who is worried about doing it right."

Fruitvale Elementary School students were treated to an unforgettable Red Ribbon Week Assembly on Thursday, October 27th. All week students learned about the importance of being respectful, responsible, and safe throughout Red Ribbon Week. On Thursday, students gathered on the field to attend a Red Ribbon Week assembly hosted by two California Highway Patrol (CHP) officers.
Officer Lee and Officer Butler introduced themselves and educated the students on the importance of staying drug free. "I have the best job in the world!" said Lee. He explained that not only was he a CHP Officer, but he was a K-9 unit CHP Officer, which meant he worked with a dog. He told students what Boomba, his dog, was trained to do. He explained that the dog's nose had been trained to sniff out drugs that had been hidden and to notify the officers where they were.
Boomba was trained to not only sniff out drugs, but to help officers in pursuit of criminals. Lee said if a criminal ran away or was hiding, he will send his dog to find them and hold them until he arrives. After Lee's explanation, Officer Butler put on a padded suit to demonstrate the dog's training. Student's clapped as Boomba held onto Butler's padded arm and waited for Lee. In order for Boomba to stay sharp he is in constant training. Lee said he and Boomba will train for an hour each day, and each week one shift is dedicated solely to training.
Thank you Officer Lee and Officer Butler for your presentation and to the staff at Fruitvale Elementary; you were able to create an assembly the student's will never forget!

It almost goes without saying that the grand Hollywood tradition of the pirate
action-adventure has taken a beating in the recent past, both critically and
financially. Add to this the abysmal failure that was The Country Bears, and it is only natural for
many moviegoers to greet to a film based on Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean
attraction with a healthy amount of skepticism. But one need only take a good
look at the cast list to assuage any doubts as to the exciting potential of
Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl, which opens July
Johnny Depp, one of the most enigmatic and interesting actors of his
generation, takes a break from a string of serious roles to ham it up as the
notorious pirate Captain Jack Sparrow. Once Depp was attached to the project, it
wasn't difficult to attract high-caliber talent in the co-starring roles.
Orlando Bloom, who gained notoriety as the elvish archer Legolas in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, soon signed on to
play lovelorn blacksmith Will Turner. In the film, Turner hits the high seas
with Sparrow to rescue the object of his undeclared affections, Elizabeth Swann.
For the role of Elizabeth, the producers looked to lively British actress Keira
Knightley, best known to American audiences as a tomboyish-yet-sexy soccer
player in Bend it Like Beckham. The film also stars renown actors
Geoffrey Rush as a cursed pirate captain and Jonathan Pryce as Governor Swann,
Elizabeth's father.
Depp, Bloom and Knightley took a moment recently to talk to Science
Fiction Weekly about their experiences filming on location in the Caribbean,
and the appeal of fun-loving pirates to children of all ages.
Orlando Bloom, are you a fan of pirate movies?
Bloom: I used to play pirates in the backyard as a kid. You know what
I mean? In the garden. But pirate movies ... used to be on Sunday afternoons on
TV when I was growing up. It was one of those things you just sort of would
happen to watch and always really enjoy. When I was growing up they weren't
really being made in the same way, like to be put out there like that. But I
watched The Master of Ballantrae and stuff. Bob Anderson, who was the
swordmaster, he was talking about that. And he doubled Errol Flynn in that
movie, and I wanted to see what that was like. And Captain Blood.
What was more fun, the sword fighting in Pirates or the archery in
Lord of the Rings?
Bloom: You can't really compare, because they're so totally different
things to play with. But I had a lot of fun with the sword. It was quite
complicated. But I do some different stuff in Rings. It's quite difficult
to compare those two.
Did you know immediately that you wanted to do the film?
Bloom: Well, actually, it was a thing where I had finished working on
Ned Kelly and Geoffrey was going on to do this, Geoffrey Rush, and he
sort of brought it to my attention, as it were. And then basically, yeah, he
sort of mentioned it to me. And I was like, "OK, it sounds like it could be a
good project." And I wanted to read it because of his recommendation. He just
said there was a part that would be good for me.
What was the most difficult aspect about the filming?
Bloom: It was a lot of fun. Being on the ocean, I love being on the
ocean, but the nature of that is that you've got a lot of people in a small
space out in the middle of the sea, and some people don't like being on the
ocean. So that was kind of overwhelming. That was kind of hard for them to do.
But it was a fun shoot. The character of Will Turner was a great character for
me to play, and he wasn't too daunting.
What was it like working with Johnny? Did he give you any advice?
Bloom: I would go off him. I mean, he's the guy, you know what I mean?
And like, I would just take from him. The way he played Jack left it open for me
to play Will in a certain way. And Will was written like a straight-shooting,
true-blue, honest sort of hero character. But had Johnny played his as more of
the hero character, it might have conflicted. But Johnny left it wide open for
me just to go the whole hog on the hero number. Do you know what I mean? Because
the hero element to his is much more character-based, so it kind of left it open
for me, which was great. And then I would be like, forget the close-up, just
give me a two-shot, because it was just great to do stuff with him.
Did you get to take home any pirate souvenirs?
Bloom: I took a bit of plunder. I took a few gold coins and stuff.
Had you seen the ride before doing the film?
Bloom: No. I hadn't been. I'd been to Disney World as a kid, but I
hadn't been on the ride. I haven't been to Disneyland yet.
Keira, what about you? Had you ever seen the ride before?
Knightley: Yes. I had. I've been on it about five times. I went to—Is
it Disneyworld in Orlando, Florida? I went to that one when I was about 11. And
I loved it. It was one of the best holidays I've ever been on. And then when I
got to L.A. I thought, I'm doing the film, I'm working for Disney, can I have
some free passes? So maybe I went back about four times with a very large group
of friends and family. Obviously, because you can't do research on your own
[laughs]. So, yeah, I know it intimately.
Did they let you go to the front of the line because you were in the
Knightley: No! No, I had to queue up. I desperately tried. I said,
"Listen, I'm doing the film." And they're like, "Yeah. Get to the back of the
queue." So it didn't work. I couldn't pull any strings.
There are a lot of great actors in this film. What was it like working
with the rest of the cast?
Knightley: At the beginning of this experience I thought, right, I'm
going in, I'm working with Johnny Depp, Geoffrey Rush, Jonathan Pryce. These are
kind of titans, really. I'm going to go and I'm going to learn how to be rather
fabulous and get all their secrets. I can safely say I've learnt absolutely
nothing. I've come out of the experience [learning nothing]. And Johnny in
particular, he chats, he has a cup of tea, he giggles a lot, he does the scene,
he chats, he has another cup of tea, he giggles a lot. But where does it come
from? I haven't got a clue. It's just talent, I guess.
Were you at all nervous about working with Johnny?
Knightley: No, I wasn't really scared. I couldn't wait to meet him
because one of my friends has like the biggest crush ever. So, you go into her
room and it's just posters of Johnny everywhere. Which is kind of really freaky,
now. But no, I wasn't scared. And he's just such a nice guy. And just so—I mean,
it always sounds crap to say this—but he's just so normal. I mean, you have a
laugh. And he's lived in France, so he's watched a lot of the kind of British
comedy shows. So he knows all the kind of British humor. And we just got on
really well. And he's just a lovely guy. You have a chat, you have a cup of tea,
and it's great.
Did he have the gold teeth the whole time?
Knightley: Oh, yeah. That was actually the first thing I said to him,
ever. We had the read-through in the Viper Room, actually, his club. And I was
kind of starstruck about being in there anyway, and he walked in and I'm seeing
him over there and I'm like, "Ooh, Johnny Depp. Johnny Depp." And we sit down at
quite a long table, and he sits next to me and I'm like, "Oh, God!" And he goes,
"Hi, Keira." And I went, "S--t, look at your teeth!" So it kind of broke the ice
right there, and that was our relationship from then on, really.
And what about Orlando?
Knightley: He's great. He's a sweetheart. And yeah, I mean, we'd met
each other a couple of times before at various auditions and never got the parts
together. Either he'd got it, or I got it. So it was really great to finally get
a chance to work with him. But saying that, we have maybe four scenes in the
entire film together. So I didn't see much of him at all. And it was very much.
If he was on, then I was off, and vice versa. So it kind of feels like although
we have worked together, we haven't really very much. But he's a sweetheart, and
we had a laugh.
Was there anything you wanted to do that you didn't get to in the
Knightley: We were really lucky because the writers, Ted and Terry,
were on set practically every day from the beginning. And they were always
coming up, saying, "Have you got any ideas? Come and talk to us. If you want
anything, come and talk to us." The only idea, the only thing I wanted was a
sword. And every single day I'd go up to the producers, I'd go up to the
director, I'd go up to the writer, and I'd say, "Give me a sword! Give me a
sword!" And they'd be like, "Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whatever." Never got a sword. Six
months later, never got a sword. So am I angry? Yes. Very.
How did you like filming in the Caribbean?
Knightley: It was amazing. It was amazing. I did start to get island
fever at the end of two months. But it was really incredible. My days off I'd be
sort of lying on a beach and going snorkeling and stuff. Do you feel really
sorry for me? Yeah. It was incredible.
Is wearing a corset as uncomfortable as it looks?
Knightley: It wouldn't be if you were very sensible and you go into a
fitting and you breathe out. If, like me, you've been watching too much of
Gone With the Wind and have a bit of a Scarlett O'Hara complex, you go,
"Ooh, let's see how tight we can make it." Then it's a problem. So we got it
down to about 20 inches. It's a bit ridiculous. And yeah, the oxygen deprivation
did become a problem. And you kind of can't sit down. And if you eat anything or
drink anything it stops here [in your chest]. So it feels like it's going to
come back up all day, which is also great. So, no, it did get to one point where
I was standing on these stairs, and it's sort of my big entrance is this
gorgeous gold dress, and [director Gore Verbinski] is like, "OK, you've got to
go and get out of that corset because your eyes are rolling into the back of
your head and you look like you're going to fall over." So that was kind of
Will you ever wear another corset?
Knightley: Never say never, but not for a good, long time.
Johnny, you've said that your character is a cross between Keith Richards
and Pepe Le Pew, is that true?
Depp: Oh, yeah. It's all true.
I can see Keith Richards, but why Pepe Le Pew?
Depp: Pepe Le Pew, he's a skunk who believed he was a ladies' man, who
believed it wholeheartedly. And I kind of had that feeling about Jack, that no
matter what the actual reality was, he would only see his reality. He would only
believe his reality, his version of the story—a guy whose two main objectives
are, number one, getting his ship back, which really represents his freedom,
because he can move forward towards the horizon, and number two, to propagate
the myth. He's a guy who understood that the legend is infinitely more important
than the truth.
When did you decide what you were going to do with the character? The
writers have said that they were picturing something like a seedy Burt Lancaster
type rather than what you did with it.
Depp: Yeah. Oops [laughs]. Sorry fellas. ... Yeah, I'm glad they
didn't tell me that early on. I knew pretty early on. I mean, right away,
actually, when I read the script. Because the whole challenge initially, even
before the script came, was to come up with a pirate that hadn't been done
before, to come up with a pirate character who's fun, interesting, a lot going
on in his past, but that hadn't been done before, who could be dangerous, but at
the same time funny.
Did you have as much fun as it looked like you were having?
Depp: More. It was criminal. ... It was a ball. I mean, it was just a
ball. Hard work, certainly, really hard work. Physically, very demanding,
taxing. Worked a lot of hours. There were sort of burnout days and weeks, but
every day was a gas being the guy. I mean, I loved every second being Jack
Sparrow. I just loved it.
Did you decide to do this film partially because it was something your
daughter could see?
Depp: Yeah, that was certainly part of it. When they came to me with
the idea ... all they had was the title of the film, just The Pirates of the
Caribbean. There was no treatment or idea that they came up with at the
time. It was just the title. And I instantly had a very, very good feeling about
it. And then when [writers Ted Elliot and Terry Rossio] came on board and
[producer Jerry Bruckheimer] and Gore Verbinski, everything moved in such a
perfect little package. I thought this could be fun for the kids. And also, I
think I'd been deeply influenced by my daughter. She's 4 years old, and I've
watched every single Disney animated film, like more than my fair share. I've
seen them all probably 50 times at least. And I like them. I love them. They're
really great.
What gave you that good feeling when you heard the title?
Depp: Probably it struck a chord with the 5-year-old kid still inside,
you know what I mean? I can remember being very, very young—5 years old, 6 years
old—and I guess every single little boy probably feels that. You reach that
moment where you want to be a pirate, a swashbuckler, and go out on the open
seas and [have an] adventure. And it's romantic, and [dangerous], all that
How did you feel about the fact that it was a film adapted from a Disney
Depp: That didn't bother me at all. No. I thought it was kind of cool.
It was really, like I said, I initially had a very good feeling. But there was
nothing really to take a bite out of at that moment, so it was more like, well
let's just wait and see what they come up with, what the concept is. And then
when they said Ted Elliot and Terry Rossio are going to write this, the guys who
did Shrek, I knew then we're in good shape.
How did you get along with the rest of the cast?
Depp: Oh, they were great. I really enjoyed working with those guys. I
mean, working with Geoffrey Rush, who I loved, and Jonathan Pryce, who I
worship, and then Orlando and Keira, who I wasn't very familiar with, but you
fall in love with them instantly. They're both very, very smart. Very
intelligent. Funny. Really committed to the work. Keira was just exceptional.
And Orlando was wonderful and a really good actor. At a certain point it became
the comedy stylings of Depp and Bloom. It was like Abbott and Costello or
Did you hang out at all?
Depp: Yeah, we hung out a bit. When we were in the Caribbean for those
two months, I guess it was about two months, yeah, eight weeks, I was staying on
a boat. I decided I wanted to live on a boat to keep the feeling of being in the
womb of the ocean. So yeah, I stayed on a boat. So it worked out, they'd come
over and have dinner and have drinks or whatever or we'd go meet them somewhere.
Yeah. I had a blast, it was really a dream cast, man. Really good people. Dream
crew as well.

This past Saturday we went to the Burton Antique Fair at the Geauga County Fair Grounds. We have never gone to this show before and thought we'd go see what it is all about.
There were lots of sellers with really nice antiques. The only downfall to the day was the heat. Around here we consider ourselves blessed when it gets hot but this was oppressive humid hot. Other than that we had a really good time. Dane wasn't to keen on going but he even managed to have a good time.
When we arrived there was a band of Pirates singing and dancing…..What they have to do with the Antiques Fair, I don't know? But Dane found them quite amusing.
We made our way around the fair grounds and here are just a few of the things that caught our eye…
The Marx Sportster car really got a lot of attention when from people when we walked around. A few people asked where we got it and how much we paid for it. We don't know too much about it , we just liked it. The Little Kings sign just reminds us of younger years………And no. We didn't buy the Wienermobile.

AQUAMAN Director Sinks BLACK MANTA Casting Rumors
Updated September 6, 2016: Aquaman director James Wan has taken to Twitter to refute rumors that Michael K Williams had been cast as Black Manta for the film. Williams previously tweeted his interest in the role, an idea that was quickly latched onto by fans. Over the weekend, the GOAT Movie Podcast reported that Williams had indeed been cast.
Nah, not real. https://t.co/pvqy1b3CnG— James Wan (@creepypuppet) September 5, 2016
Wan responded to a fan's request to confirm the rumor by saying simply "Nah, not real," though this doesn't rule out the possibility that Williams is in negotiations or is being considered for the part. Wan did later say that The Wire alum was "a terrific actor."
Original Story: Jason Momoa's Aquaman solo film is still two full years away, but it's apparently already shaping up with the latest addition to the film reportedly being its villain - none other than Black Manta, according to The Wrap.
Introduced in 1967, Black Manta has had several origins over the years, with the latest version being that Black Manta seeks vengeance against Aquaman for killing his father. Interestingly, Black Manta has been a part of Task Force X, a.k.a. the Suicide Squad, several times.
No actor has been announced for the character. Harry Lennix, who voiced Black Manta in the animated Justice League: Throne of Atlantis, has already appeared in the DC Cinematic Universe as U.S. Secretary of Defense Calvin Swanwick. Interestlingly, Khary Payton - who voiced Black Manta in Young Justice - is currently scheduled to play King Ezekiel in the upcoming season of The Walking Dead.
Jason Momoa will portray Aquaman in 2017's Justice League as well as his solo film, while he's joined by Amber Heard as Mera and Willem Dafoe as Vulko.
Aquaman is due out in theaters July 27, 2018.
