I'm a grown up now. I've been married for ten years. I've been a parent for ten years. My oldest child is almost ten. I have ten fingers and ten toes. You get the picture. I thought I'd write a letter to my 22-year-old self. It's going to be serious and straight forward but gentle and humorous. It will be rebukefull and encouragefull.
Dear 22-year-old self named Rachel,
Dang girl! Look at your skinny little pre-pregnant self! What was your wedding dress, a size 4? Your daughter is going to ask you to put it on again in about five years. It's not going to work out that great. The fact is you think your husband thinks you're attractive now? Just wait and see what 30 months of deployment over six years of serving in the Navy does. Just wait and see what moving across states, bearing and raising four children, buying a house, finding renters for the house, dealing with ER visits, and bills, and broken appliances does to your attractiveness for him. Four kids and ten years will give you some curves and he will love those curves. John Legend songs will start playing in his head when you walk in the room. Ten years of faithful love ALWAYS trumps skinny. You'll see it in his eyes. Same thing will happen to your eyes. You'll get unconditional love juice stuck in them.
Why are you so darn pretentious with your childbirth choices? Why does your snobby little breath get caught in your throat when you hear about another "fallen to the epidural" birth story. Get off your high horse! You look ridiculous up there! Keep your stupid feet on the ground. If someone asks you about your childbirth choices then tell them in a nice, non-snobby way. Childbirth does hurt, you know. What are you one of those tall tale heroes that needs everyone to know how much pain you can stand and the great walloping undertaking that you went through yet lived to tell the tale? Natural childbirth is beautiful indeed. Just stop being annoying about it.
You like to talk. You like to talk about what works. All wives and mothers like to talk about "what works." Pacifiers work. No they don't. Dave Ramsey doesn't work. Yes it does. No it doesn't. Nursing the baby to sleep works. No it doesn't. Yes it does. Moms should work. Moms should not work. You should make them eat all there food. No you shouldn't. Make sure you take time for yourself. No you shouldn't, you selfish woman. Pick up your husbands socks. No, do not pick up that man's socks. Get up before the kids. Are you crazy? Don't get up before the kids. Read that life-changing book. That book is stupid and people who read it are stupid. And you're stupid. At some point you need to shut up and just LOVE JESUS. Loving Jesus has no DO THIS or DON'T DO THAT. It's just reading the Word and falling in love with Him and His people. Stop stressing out about what works and what does not work and placing yourself in the group that hangs out together only because they agree that that pointless thing works. Don't be so discouraged by the female cries of "You're ruining your life doing that because it does not work." YOU stop being one of those females that cry that. You really drive me crazy when you do that.
As far as what the Word of God has to say just shut up and let the Word of God say it. There's a lot of unclear things that Christian women will ask you and will want to talk over. Those unclear things really aren't important. But Christian women might make them important. It will exhaust you. Try to stick to talking about what the Bible has made clear. Life holds a lot of preferences. God's Words are more important than your words and other women's words however well-meaning they may be. Just shut your face. Only open it to share God's words and also for pie. Nothing wrong with talking about preferences just don't be annoying about it.
Your four children will drive you to your knees in exhaustion and prayer. One day, you'll be taking a walk with your oldest and carrying on a deep spiritual conversation and you just won't mind the last ten years of exhaustion. Those moments will come scattered all in between the exhausted ones.
Listen, you whiney baby. Your husband will fall short of your expectations in some way on a daily basis. Stop whining about it. Gosh! I'm so tired of your whining! Your husband is what they call a human being. If you wanted to marry somebody perfect why didn't you marry a robot or maybe a young Sean Connery or something? Every time your husband falls short forgive, forget, and for crying out loud stop whining. Your husband is awesome. Ten years will prove that over and over.
You're going to make it kid. You'll have curves, grays, laughs, lessons, failures, temper tantrums, tears, poop on your favorite shirt, frustrations, hot dates. You are not as amazing as you think you are. You're stupid a lot of the time and pridefull too. And so annoying! But God sees fit to pick you up every time, dust off your fanny, and give you a brand new day. Happy birthday. I'm going to go eat some chocolate cake and add some more curve to these 32 years.
With love and annoyance,
32-year-old Me
P.S. You'll start a blog in about five years and change the name of it five times.

Magnesium oxide (MgO) has been used dating back thousands of years. It has been found that magnesium oxide was used in the Great Wall of China as a cement form. China has the world's largest deposits of magnesium oxide, which is sufficient to resupply the world with cement fibre, gypsum and wood partitioning and ceilings every year for the next 800 years.
Magnesium oxide board (MgO board) is a factory-made, non-insulating sheathing board product. It can be used for a number of applications including wall and ceiling linings, fascias, soffits, tile backing and underlayment. Magnesium Oxide Board is also used structurally, as in bracing for walls and also semi-structurally, such as an underlayment for flooring. It is made primarily of magnesium oxide, and is commonly called MgO Board (pronounced emm-gee-oh) due to its chemical composition of magnesium and oxygen.
It is also referred to as Magboard or in our case Supertec Magboard.
Magnesium Oxide Board is a type of sheathing board like gypsum board or cement fibre board – however with several improved characteristics such as fire resistance, weather ability, strength, resistance to mould and mildew, flexibility, adherence advantages and so on.
Magnesium Oxide Board board is available for building construction and comes in various thicknesses and sheet sizes. It also comes in various grades, such as smooth finishes, rough textures, and utility grades. It is white, beige or light gray in colour, and has a «hard» sound when rapped with your knuckles-somewhat like cement fibre board.
Like any sheathing board, Magnesium Oxide Board can absorb water but its performance is unaffected. Thus it can be used indoors and outdoors, and in damp locations, such as showers. Like Portland cement based sidings, if Magnesium Oxide Board is used outdoors in an exposed location, it needs sealing in much the same way as cement.
Magnesium oxide board was developed many years ago as a cheap alternative to cement fibre board. It turned out as a coincidence to be a product with many superior characteristics. Magnesium Oxide Board was extensively used in construction during the 2008 World Olympics buildings in Beijing…and was used in the world famous Taipei 101 building which up until recently was the world's tallest building.
Supertec Magnesium Oxide Board is made by the above formula of chemicals. The stable magnesium celluloid is reinforced by glass fibre netting. It has the advantageous features of being light weight, strong, very low contraction properties, flexible yet impact resistant. It has excellent drainage properties, is fire resistant, and is very easy to work with. It can become waterproof by sealing it; corrosion proof and plasticity are better than wood, paper surface plaster board or gypsum board and cement fibre board. Most importantly Supertec Mgo board is cured without the use of any heating and thus using very little energy unlike gypsum board and cement fibre board. This makes it greener and although it is a product of the past is fast becoming the product of the future for these reasons.
Supertec board's retain their excellent dimensional stability even in damp and humid conditions and can be installed at an early stage in the construction programme, before wet trades are completed and the building is weather-tight.
Through experiment and testing, Supertec has established that after Supertec MgO board has been immersed in the water for one month, it keeps its original shape, without deformation or expansion, its dry-wet deforming ratio is 0.26%, its water absorbing capacity is 15%, and the creasing resistance is 15Mpa under dry conditions and 22 Mpa under moist conditions.
Supertec Mgo board is non combustible and can achieve fire ratings as high as 4 hours given the correct installation it can be used for sound studios , schools, public areas, movie theatre's, train partitioning, bus partitioning, boat partitioning, shopping centres, any area where the fireproof function is necessary.
The material is classed A class as tested by many international testing authorities. It has been tested to the American and British standards for fire. The South African bureau of standards testing requirements meets those of both the American and British testing requirements.
Supertec 9mm board will provide the same and better reduction in sound as a standard 123mm wall made of four layers of 12mm gypsum board, which is equal to the soundproof of effect of a 150mm common solid brick wall.
Supertec board is resistant to mould growth, most chemicals and attack by rodents and insects.
Supertec 9mm thick board weights 9.63kg/m2. When using a steel frame and MgO board as cladding the weight is about 1/10 of that of a common cement brick or clay brick wall while the anti-impact intensity is 2-3 times that of a normal plaster wall. It can be easily installed and the construction time is much shorter.
Supertec MgO board is suitable for use where electromagnetic waves interception and static electricity prevention function are necessary. Such as operating theatre's, X ray rooms of the hospital , laboratories , cleaning rooms, electronic component assembly area, film factory's, any area which requires the reduction of electromagnetic waves and or antistatic environments.
Supertec MgO board is used commonly instead of MDF because the magnesium board surface condition is clean.
Supertec Magnesium board is a substitute for OSB ply woods to help strengthen in the residential industry or the steel frame housing industry.
Supertec Magnesium board is commonly used as flooring.
Thickness: 3mm--50mm standard sizes 4/6/9/12mm
Standard width and length: 1200mm x 2.4M/2.7m/3m
SUPERTEC MAGBOARD contains:
• No organic solvents
• No oils
• No toxic ingredients
• No heavy metal salts
• No asbestos

Copperbell Mines (Hard)
Hecatoncheir Mastermind:
- Gradually floods the track with fire.
- Fire Bomb adds will go to the fire and cast self-destruct. Kill bombs ASAP.
- There is a time limit as the track floods.
- The tank should keep the boss facing away from the party to avoid an instant-cast frontal attack that doesn't have a telegraph.
- Activate Improved Blasting Device to spawn a Bomb and let it explode on the boss.
- One DPS should focus on burning down the adds.
- After you kill the boss, Biggy will spawn. Kill Biggy while staying away from the large bombs because they will explode.
- When the message "The abyss worm is searching for fodder" appears, pick up a rock and place it anywhere in the sand to feed the worm. If you don't do this then the party will wipe.
- Move away from the rock after placing it or you will receive damage.
- Healer should be on rock duty while DPS handles the adds. DPS should not stand in front of the boss.

Part 1: A Closer Look at Impact - Karen Guthrie Guest Blog
Karen Guthrie's The Closer We Get won Best International Feature Documentary at Hot Docs in 2015. Karen is writing this blog for SDI to provide an insight into elements of her filmmaking practice. However, it's not the artistic side of things that this blog will focus on, but the arguably less glamorous, murky world of outreach and distribution. In this first edition of the blog, Karen describes how she was thrown, ill-prepared into that world, after she received an unexpected international phone call....

The stone setting ceremony for Israel pavilion in Shanghai World Expo 2010 was held in the morning of April 29, 2009. Participants of the stone setting ceremony included Mr. Zhang Yunjie, Assistant Director General of Expo Bureau, Ms. Yaffa Ben-Ari, Deputy Commissioner General of Israel for Expo, Mr. Jackie Eldan, Consul General of Israel in Shanghai, Mr. Issac Shalev, Director of Israel Pavilion, and Mr. Haim Dotan, designer and architect of Israel Pavilion. A Jewish Rabbi prayed during the ceremony, traditional Hebrew songs "A song for the ascents" and "Golden Jerusalem" was played by a guitar artist on the scene. The day was also the 61st Independence Day of Israel.
The national pavilion of Israel will feature an exhibition themed "Innovation for Better Life." It is an innovative and architectural futuristic structure symbolizing breakthrough and technology. The pavilion is composed of two architectural curvilinear forms which hug each other like two hands. The two dynamic forms symbolize Israeli innovation and technology.
The 1,200-square-meter pavilion consists of three experiential realms: Whispering Garden, Hall of Light and Hall of Innovations. The Hall of Innovation is covered in natural stone, symbolizing the connection to earth, history and recycling of natural materials. The Hall of light is covered with transparent PVC/glass, symbolizing technology, transparency, lightness and the future.
The Whispering Garden serves as a pleasant green orchard where visitors wait before entering the building. Walking on a covered path between whispering trees, the visitors are protected from the heat of sun and the rain and may rest on available benches.
In the hall of Lightness, millions of Chinese visitors strolling on the adjacent pedestrian bridge outside the Israeli pavilion view displays of technological innovations projected on the 15-meter high wall inside the glass space of the pavilion during day and night.
And in the Hall of Innovation which is the climax of the Israeli pavilion, visitors will enjoy an audio-visual show of light balls floating in the dynamic space projecting on a 360-degree display of the new worlds of Israeli innovations and technological breakthroughs in all fields. It presents the Innovations for Better Life message as the future connection between the Chinese nation and Israel.
The impressive design for Israeli pavilion has been nicknamed as "Sea Shell" (in Chinese "Hai Bei Ke") which goes along with the mascot of the Shanghai Expo – Haibao, and Shanghai as a coastal city.

A restaurant and two bars are great places to relax after a long day of sightseeing. The hotel also offers a fitness room and a business center with computers, printers, and internet access. Outside of the hotel, guests can look forward to an outdoor heated pool and a courtyard. If you're traveling with children, the hotel plays afternoon cartoons and videos for kids.
Another option for Puebla lodging is the Mesones Sacristia de la Compania. Unlike other Puebla hotels that cater to business travelers, the Mesones Sacristia is for those that want a truly cultural experience. Located in the oldest part of the city that is known for its colorful and unique buildings, the hotel is converted from a colonial house. The rooms are simple, yet colorful. Each room has a coffee maker and a TV. The hotel has a restaurant serving Poblano specialties and often hosts a guitarist or two.
Although most Puebla hotels have an old-fashioned feel, you don't have to search hard to find modern accommodations in Puebla. Located in downtown Puebla, the NH Puebla is a large modern hotel with contemporary and spare furnishings and soft lighting. Each room has comfortable furnishing in muted tones of yellow and beige as well as upscale bathroom amenities. If you head downstairs, you'll find a restaurant and bar as well as an outdoor pool. Babysitting and laundry service is available for an additional fee.
Your best chance of finding deals on hotels in Puebla is anytime in the summer when there are less tourists visiting Mexico because of the intense heat. If you plan to visit during Cinco de Mayo in May, make sure to book your accommodations well in advance. Hotels in Mexico tend to fill up fast during the event. With great weather and a variety of things to do and see, Puebla is a fascinating place to visit as you tour Mexico.

Oh you guys, it was a struggle to get up this morning. Llewyn, the past few nights, has been waking every hour demanding me. The poor guy is teething again, and I'm hoping these are the last to come in. I felt like a zombie this morning, running around the house getting Rosalie ready for school. Also noted, pretty sure my eye bags have their own eye bags at this point. Anyway, I'm here, drinking pounds of coffee, pretending to be productive… Happy Monday!
I wanted to share a few things, since I haven't been on here much recently, and I don't really like to share a lot of personal stuff (besides a few pictures of my kids) on Facebook (I tend to share a lot more on Instagram because I feel like it's much more positive.) I figure, those who want to know whats going on in our live, can click to my blog, instead of sharing things on FB to people, who don't really care.
For those of you who didn't know, we recently moved! New Year's weekend to be exact! probably the hardest move I've ever made, just because of all the hard work and love we put into making our Rockbridge Baths house a home, (which will be on the market soon!!!!) but I'm already in love with our new house, and am really excited to grown in it, and make it our home. Our main reason for moving, was so we could be closer to grandparents, work and school. It's been super convenient.
Something exciting for me, I'm in my last semester at Mary Baldwin. (all the celebrating emojis inserted here) Never thought these days would come, throwing a husband and two kids into the mix slowed the process down a little, but I wouldn't trade them for the world. I'm almost positive they have taught me more in the past 5 years, than a degree ever could.
I've been putting a lot of thought into what I'll do with my Studio Art degree, and if I figure it out, I'll let you know! For now, I'll continue to paint, have more shows, give a few lessons, and work from home while raising my little ones!
This year, I'm going to pursue photography more than I have in the past. I've always loved the art, and sharing it with others. So, thats something I'll share with you at a later date. ❤
I do want to focus more on my blog this year. I don't want it to feel forced, but I feel like it's such a good platform to make my voice heard, to share my beliefs, my life, and ideas, in hopes that someone will benefit from a piece of it.
and one more thing– stay tuned next Monday Morning, for some more exciting news!
Anyway, I hope everyone stays dry today, and has a blessed week! Hugs and love to each of you!
by the way, my amazing friend Rachel Kaly, who's blog is here designed my awesome logo at the top of this page! My signature and my flower! How awesome is she?!

"My thoughts are with the friends and family of Azelle Rodney. I appreciate
that this trial must have been a difficult experience for them. I am also very
concerned that they have had to wait ten years for this verdict and by the
extra hardship which this delay has caused. I believe that Mr Rodney's mother
Ms. Alexander is owed an apology for the way this case was handled by the
Independent Police Complaints Commission."
"Although Mr. Long had been cleared of murder, there remain very serious
questions about the way the Met Police carried out the operation in question.
\Policing by consent depends on people having confidence and trust in the
police force. It is therefore vital that the Metropolitan Police Service learn
lessons from the avoidable death of Mr. Rodney, so that incidents like this
are not repeated."

The Honors program provides students the opportunity to study and investigate areas of interdisciplinary concern and personal interest. The Program requires the student to enroll in and complete eight three-credit Honors courses, beginning with a year-long freshman seminar and ending in a year-long senior thesis. The freshman seminars are focused around a timely theme chosen by the Honors Director. The topic of the Honors Thesis is chosen by the individual Honors student and requires the student to engage in in-depth research, guided by a mentor chosen by the student, culminating in a polished, thoroughly documented research paper. Students have the opportunity to present their research at an annual Honors Symposium. Each thesis is carefully monitored by the mentor and is critically examined by a designated reader from the Honors Council.
Independent research and self-motivated study are combined in Honors seminars. Brief essays, oral presentations, and longer research projects form the basis for grades in the seminars. Formal testing is neither used, nor permitted. Field trips are encouraged, and attendance at or participation in cultural and social activities at the College are expected, as is a service component.
The non-freshman Honors courses that are offered each semester are selected from a large and constantly growing collection of courses. This course catalog includes all active Honors courses, but Honors students should check with the Program Director's office to learn about new courses that will be offered. Decisions about which Honors courses are offered are made each semester and will appear on WebAdvisor during registration periods. Honors students have priority registration and are eligible to register for courses on the first day of registration.
Membership in the Honors program is limited. Qualified admitted freshmen are invited into the program based on a combination of test scores and high school performance.
Transfer students, second semester freshman and, at times, sophomores who demonstrate academic talent and interest in the Honors Program may also be invited into the Program. Once in the Program, Honors students are required to maintain at least a 3.50 grade point average and show progress toward meeting their Honors course requirements.
All students interested in additional information about the Honors program should contact the Director.

From September 18-21, 2014, the international conference, "No Radical Art Actions Are Going to Help Here…: Political Violence and Militant Aesthetics after Socialism" was held in St. Petersburg, Russia as part of the Manifesta 10 Contemporary Art Biennial's Public Program, curated by Joanna Warsza. I organized the conference in collaboration with Marijeta Bozovic (Yale University) and Artemy Magun (St. Petersburg State University, Faculty of Liberal Arts and Sciences). Along with support from Manifesta and Magun's Critique of the Social Sciences Seminar, the conference was also generously supported by a REES small grant.
Manifesta's choice of holding the biennial in St. Petersburg sparked great controversy, first because of the city's anti-gay law and then because of the annexation of Crimea. A number of local and foreign artists decided to boycott the events, including the influential Chto Delat collective. However, local artists felt that it was appropriate to participate in the public program, the goal of which was to engage the city directly with site-specific installations and performances, a series of apartment exhibitions, curated by Olesya Turkina and Roman Osminkin, and public events like my conference.
The atmosphere is understandably pessimistic for politically engaged artists and theorists in Russia today. However, the conference proved a great success, as we managed to bring together many of the most important figures in the scene for four days of fruitful discussions about art's connection to political violence and the capacities for a militant aesthetics today. There was an incredible warmth to the proceedings, as participants and audience members alike sensed the importance of this loose collective of leftist intellectuals at a time when few seem inclined to listen to sophisticated statements about emancipation, struggle, and the enduring power of engaged art. The presence of a few high-profile foreign guests and several active audience members, in town from abroad for the biennial, also contributed an essential openness to outside viewpoints.
The first evening of the conference was devoted to a roundtable discussion of the central issues of our gathering and a screening and discussion of Chto Delat's new film, "The Excluded: In a Moment of Danger," premiering in Russia. The second day was devoted to scholarly interventions. A panel on Walter Benjamin's seminal essay, "The Critique of Violence," investigated the philosophical meaning of war and law, and aesthetic means of overcoming violence. The second panel turned more to more properly aesthetic concerns, discussing the place of trauma in Russian Formalist criticism, the place of negativity in aesthetic philosophy since Kant, and Mikhail Lifshits's theory of humane resignation as an alternative to avant-garde aesthetics. Finally, the third panel turned specifically to the question of artistic forms of political activism.
The third day was devoted to presentations of poetry and original artworks produced for the conference. We began with readings by Kirill Medvedev, Galina Rymbu, Elena Kostyleva, Keti Chukhrov, and Aleksandr Skidan, followed by a lively discussion of the place of violence in recent Russian poetry. Roman Osminkin and the Gandhi street art collective presented a video performance, and Natalia Pershina-Yakimanskay (Gluklya) screened her work in progress, examining the militant sacrifice of Soviet partisan, Zoya Kosmodemianskaya. Finally, philosopher Oxana Timofeeva and artist Nikolai Oleynikov delivered a poetic-theoretical dialogue on the theme of making love during wartime. That evening the group convened for raucous dancing at the Griboedov Club, treated to a concert by Arkady Kots, supported by It's Too Early to Shave Your Armpits and two anarchist singer-songwriters.
On the final day of the conference, the group traveled by bus to the Razliv Museum, where Lenin hid out before returning to St. Petersburg in October 1917, to view a new exhibit and attend a lecture on the place of the revolutionary museum today.
The full schedule of the conference can be found on the Manifesta website.
Video documentation is also available at the Manifesta 10 YouTube channel.

Most of us love summers and its a good season to enjoy picnics or days at the beach. Summer is hot and uneasy we get it, but did you know it also has many health benefits and keeps us active physically and mentally. It will motivate you to go out and have a healthier outdoor life and here are some reasons why:
1) No more skin complaints
You will be less worried about dry skin and body. Exposure to sun rays can be beneficial with respect to dermatitis and acne. Just make sure you don't expose your skin to direct sunlight and always remember to apply sunscreen lotion with 30 percent SPF.
2) Less risk of heart attacks
One is less likely to have a heart attack in summer than winter. The rays of the sun synthesise vitamin D and reduces blood pressure and also lessens the risk of blood clots.
3) Feel like consuming liquids
One tends to feel thirty during summers and with more water in your body, digestion and temperature regulation will be smooth. It improves skin and health and flushes out toxins and you will definitely feel like snacking on fruits and drinking cool fruits juices.
4) Reduces Migraines
Clear and sunny days reduce migraines. Results show that migraine depends on weather conditions and can play a major role according to one's body temperatures.
5) Good sleep
Summer keeps your body active and at the same time makes you feel tired. If you are having lack of sleep spend two hours in the morning exercising.

INTERVIEW: Indigo & Cotton
Charleston is known for its southern charm, hospitality, delicious food, and beautiful downtown architecture. While menswear might not be added to that list, this town does boast one of the most brilliant and hottest menswear shops in the country, Indigo & Cotton. While small on the inside, the store is designed and decorated beautifully, featuring an old-school filing cabinet, antique tables and seating, and other vintage display pieces. The natural light is abundant, and the decorations and clothing are vibrant in color, which creates a warm and pleasant experience.
One of my favorite things about the shop is the inspirational "look-book" pinboard on the back left well. It features clothing pieces that store carries, showcasing them in the form of brilliant photographs.
Beyond the design of the shop, Indigo & Cotton carries some of the most high quality menswear products around (see brand names in Q&A below). You will find anything from raw denim and casual dress shirts to swim trunks and weekend bags.
The store is truly unique.
So, who is the man behind this creative and flavorful menswear store?
Please meet Brett Carron.
Over the last few months, I have had the pleasure to photograph Brett and get to know him. He is passionate about what he does and is very thoughtful in every detail of shop.
Check out the Q&A below, and scroll all the way to the bottom for more photographs of Indigo & Cotton.
Kirk: Brett, tell me a little about yourself and where you're from.
Brett: I grew up in the midwest, spending time in both Illinois and Indiana and later studying fine arts at a small art school in Columbus, Ohio. I met my wife there and afterward we moved to New York City for a few years.
Kirk: How did you end up in Charleston?
Brett: My wife took a job here. We were both ready for a change and took the opportunity to relocate.
Kirk: When did you first realize that you had an interest in men's style and fashion?
Brett: I'm not sure exactly when it happened, but it's something I was definitely paying attention to at an early age. Throughout elementary, high school and later, college, I studied art and design. Being in those creative environments I think inevitably sparked an interest in style and what I wore. Things really crystallized for me while we were living in New York City. Not only are there so many great shops and galleries, but the wealth of style and culture there is so concentrated--inspiration is everywhere.
Kirk: How would you describe your personal style?
Brett: It's basically a snapshot of what we offer at Indigo & Cotton. I'm usually wearing a button down from my favorite shirt maker Gitman Bros. Vintage and my Imogene & Willie Bartons. In the warmer months I like Velva Sheen tees (it's a tubular knit body so there aren't any side seams) and shorts from Battenwear or Engineered Garments. Lately I've been leaning toward pieces that are a bit dressier but don't feel too formal. A favorite jacket of mine is from Barena - it's a lightweight cotton and completely unstructured, which makes for a super comfortable and versatile sport coat that can be worn when the temperature starts to rise. On my feet are either plain toe bluchers from Alden, classic New Balance running shoes or a simple white canvas sneaker.
Kirk: We've seen trends come and go. Last year camouflage was huge, and this year it seems like floral is breaking through once again. What do you think is going to be the next big trend or appreciation in men's fashion?
Brett: The desire for American brands and domestic manufacturing has continued to thrive and I don't see any sign of that slowing down. There's been a growing interest in Japanese brands--it seems like each season more and more become available stateside. Given the affinity the Japanese have for our culture and denim heritage, it makes perfect sense. We're bringing a long-time favorite of ours, orSlow, to the shop this fall. They produce a really focused collection each season, with great washed denim pieces and a healthy dose of workwear and military influence.
Kirk: The interior layout and design of your shop is magnificent; what inspired this look?
Brett: Thank you! The design has been a lot of fun, it's always a work in progress. Inspiration comes from all over: art history and design, travel, and of course, the brands themselves we're lucky enough to work with.
Kirk: I'm sure running your shop keeps you very busy, but when you have down time to relax, what are some of your favorite things to do?
Brett: We have an 8 month old baby girl at home, so these days free time is in short supply. I run and play tennis when I can. We live downtown and fortunately there are a number of great restaurants we can walk to for dinner or a drink. The beach is also a short drive away. We travel a fair amount, it's always fun to see new places or just get away and do a whole lot of nothing.
Kirk: What does the future hold for Indigo & Cotton? Is there a possibility of another shop opening, or even creating your own product line?
Brett: Right now, we're focusing on the physical store and e-commerce. We just had our three year anniversary and I feel like we're in a really good place right now. We do have a lot of customers asking for a women's version of Indigo & Cotton so that's something we've been considering.
Kirk: What do you love most about men's fashion right now?
Brett: I love that guys are paying more attention to how they dress, and they aren't afraid to branch out and experiment a little.
Kirk: What is your all-time favorite drink? (Cocktail, beer, wine, soda, water…etc.)
Brett: It's too hard to pick just one. We took a trip to Tuscany last year and I've been partial to Italian reds since then. My favorite beer of late is Westbrook Brewing Co.'s One Claw. They add rye to this pale ale for a little extra kick, and it's great for the summer months. On the cocktail side, the Brown Derby from The Belmont is really tasty. They squeeze fresh grapefruit with bourbon and mix in a jalapeño infused honey. It goes down all too easily.
Kirk: Brett, thank you so much for taking time to talk with us. I want to wrap up with this last question: If a gentleman had the money to invest in 1 thing regarding wardrobe, what would you say is the most important thing he should own?
Brett: Without a doubt, I would say invest in your footwear. Go for a shoe that's goodyear welted. They can be resoled for less than the cost of a new pair and if cared for properly will hold up for many years and only look better with age.
You can connect with Indigo & Cotton on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, or if you're in Charleston, just head on over to Cannon Street and meet Brett in person.

Ever been around a pessimistic person? My whole life...thank you very much! Half of my immediate family views life from a glass half empty perspective and the other half of us see things more full. At times our various points of view are just funny. At times it is overwhelming and I get so tired of hearing the complaints or negative thoughts. When I am around consistently pessimistic people, I try to carefully monitor my thoughts and comments because I want to be a good example.
When I don't monitor my thoughts, I can see myself becoming a bit snarky...is that a word? I start to snap, become judgmental, think myself better than others, and very irritable.
I've been casually thinking about miracles over the last couple days since I'm going to lead a little devotional on miracles next Wednesday. It has dawned on me that who I am today is probably the greatest miracle God has given me. The fact that I am a person who can recognize my snarky inclinations, ask God to replace them with love and goodness, and then live in and through those characteristics instead, is a miracle indeed! The fact that I can choose how I feel and am sensitive to any attitudinal or actual changes that God may be asking of me, is also a miracle. The fact that God even wants to use me when the core of me is not pretty or nice, is the greatest miracle. Jesus loves even me!

Beauty Tips for the everyday girl
The brutal truth is natural beauty requires maintenance. When you are a healthy you, you are a beautiful you. But the secret is natural beauty does not always have to be expensive. There are small rituals you can incorporate throughout your everyday life until these practices become habitual.
Stress Levels
While beauty may only be skin deep, I would like to keep a clear face to go along with my clear conscious. Healthy skin is important. To obtain a natural glow when you look in the mirror, sleep is important. As a young adult I understand there are sleepless nights, but on average and realistically, your body needs 7 hours of sleep. The hype about water is not a myth. Your adult body is composed of approximately 60% H20 and needs 8-9 glasses a day to satisfy its hydration. When your skin is dehydrated it is prone to breakouts. It is crucial to have a balance of water to oil on the surface of your skin as well. Drinking water allows for skin to be hydrated which promotes the plump in collagen, and elastic to keep away wrinkles. Hydrated skin is less likely to crack and let in external particles that can cause irritations and blemishes.
Your stress is also important. A high stress level can cause you to lose sleep. A loss of sleep can cause bags under the eyes. When people are stressed they often breathe short and choppy breaths. This causes the face to appear flushed. A flushed face has a red undertone. When feeling stressed look to breathing exercises. A favorite is breathing out on a small whisper "f" sound. Press your top teeth gently upon your bottom lip and whisper as if you were beginning to say an "f" word such as flute.
Teeth Whitening
A white smile also enhances ones natural beauty. Though you can go to the dentist or buy products, there is one natural home remedy that I personally swear by. My mother taught me this at a very early age. Peroxide and baking soda. When researching I came across baking soda and lemon. This may be one of the most popular of the natural teeth whitening home remedies. The chemical reaction of baking soda with the citrus of lemon juice has a smile-brightening effect. Either way, the baking soda is clearly the main aspect. Instead of lubricating your toothbrush with water apply either lemon juice or peroxide. Then pack baking soda onto the wet toothbrush. Brush as normal and repeat accordingly.
Hair Growth
Growing your lashes is simple if you can just remember one small step every night. If you have either castor oil or Vaseline you don't have to worry about going out and buying anything. Choose one or the other and apply to your eyelashes every night before bed. First you will notice a difference in thickness, followed by length.
Even if you don't care for long hair, healthy hair is desired. Ladies it is important to get your ends trimmed. If you are natural and wear protective styles, between hairstyles is a good time. If you are just natural, when your hair gets straightened, get your ends clipped. If you aren't natural, get your ends cut once a month. It allows your hair to grow out healthy and overall it enhances every hairstyle. When hair is healthy is has more of a luster and bounce. Shampoo, conditioner, moisturizer is important. Every hair texture and person is different so play around with things with work for you. Make sure your shampoos and conditioners are sulfate free. If you cannot afford all the fancy hair moisturizers they advertise, three products will do the trick. Castor oil, coconut oil and wild hair growth oil are three products that can be found at your local beauty supply. When hair grows, it first goes through a stage of getting thicker and then it gets longer. Make sure your scalp is moisturized at all times. The only exception of not moisturizing is when your hair is straightened. For some woman growing hair takes more time than others, just be patient and stay consisted.
Inner Body
Lastly, it is November and winter is sneaking up very quickly. Tis the season for sore throats and colds. To stay out of that category, dress accordingly. Just because it's 70 outside doesn't mean it's summer outside. The night temperatures drop, and if you are living in the Midwest temperatures are 80 on Tuesday and 64 on Wednesday. Remember small tips; layer more, always bring a jacket, tights with skirts and long sleeve shirts.
Staying away from the common cold can be as simple as drinking orange juice and washing your hands. Washing your hands is important because many of us tend to put our hands around our mouth and face. To help reduce breakouts and germs getting into our body, keep hands clean and away from our face. During the winter months boost the amount of your vitamin c intake. Vitamin c is one of the healthiest nutrients that enhances your immune system. It protects us from colds and coughs, strengthens the body's resistance to infection, and fights against viruses.
Along with orange juice, enjoy your warm beverages such as tea, apple cider, hot chocolate, pumpkin spice, coffee and other holiday favorites.

I made this but changed it just a tad. I halved the recipe then added just enough soy milk to make it a little creamy. I the stored it in a bowl and ate it like a dip. Next time I am going to add sour cream instead of milk to thin it to dip consistency. I like eating with small pieces of toasted bread (crostini )
Made this for Christmas...everyone loved it.
Sounds yummy!!

The recent discussion on this post shows out a heated recent voice race in high-tech industry: The iphone 4S Siri is launched as the best new feature of the new product, which attracts hundreds of Apple fans go for it. Meanwhile, on the other hand, it also arises a heat discussion among those Android fans: whether the dominant Google (Android) voice will be replaced by the new Siri; whether the innovation from Google will easily be beat off just within one year; and will the mature well-rounded Google Service lines ( which we mentioned in our case) be affected and finally occupied by Apple?
Before addressing this tough problem in the newspaper, we can first refer to the below interesting video for some basic ideas about the difference of the two system:
Apparently, Iphone Siri is showing its great advantage over the Android Voice. It is better than Android Voice mainly in three aspects: –
1. conversational: The biggest difference between Siri and Android Voice is that Siri behaves more humanely and is more often used as an entertainment system. Apple developers equipped her with some measure of pop culture knowledge and a 21st century sense of humor. And sometimes, the same question, asked twice, will even give you different answers. This funny conversational aspect is far more interesting than the stubborn google voice.
2. speaking-friendly: Comparing these two speech engine, we could easily find that iphone Siri is more sensitive to people's talk. It usually spends less time than Android to distinguish the contents of the speakers. The short interval between the communications makes the system more speaking-friendly. And here is a very good example of this point.
3. various service: Another apparent difference of Siri is its variety of service. Further to the video above, we could easily tell that Siri covers more area of service than the simple search engine of google. Siri can mainly do below several things (right pic):-
– play music
– text
– set up schedule
– remind appointment
– GPS system
– email
– create notes
– set alarm
– get homework answer
But does this mean that Siri completely beat off Google voice or google is replaced by Siri?
Definitely no. In fact, Siri sometimes has to rely on Google search engine.
When you are testing the limit of Siri, you could always notice these situation:
Siri does always turn to google search engine (example 1) when questions are asked out of its scope. What's more, when showing googled results (example 2), Siri usually presents simpler and less helpful answers than those authentic google Android. The unavoid reliance on Google and its less informative result shown from the research show the fact that Siri is somewhat a kind of product develops from Google Android and definitely cannot replace the platform used for practice.
In this regards, different from the points on the newspaper, considering the two different sides of the problems, I think the battle between Iphone Siri and Google Android Voice is not a simple win-fail issue — Actually, google voice and Siri do both exist in the market for distinguished advantages and different market segments / purposes: Siri is famous for its personalized intimacy with users, while Google voice is well-known with its professional searching system.

Non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) was the first epithelial neoplasm treated with targeted therapy, based on the discovery of EGFR mutations and their predictive value and response to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). The prevalence of EGFR mutations is strongly correlated with ethnicity: 10% to 20% in Caucasians, 30% to 40% in Asians, and, as described in a recent study, 26% in Latin American patients.1,2
Despite the initial success of targeted therapy (overall response rate [ORR] 60% to 83% for erlotinib and 71% for gefitinib), patients will develop resistance generally after 1 year of treatment. The mechanism of resistance includes the acquisition of additional mutations in the EGFR receptor, such as T790M (60% of cases), the activation of additional driver genes, and histological transformation to small cell lung cancer.1,3
As an example of daily oncology practice, we describe here the case of a patient who had an EGFR mutation that made him sensitive to TKI therapy (deletion in exon 19), and the difficulty of documenting a resistant (T790M) mutation. The natural disease history of such patients keeps evolving with further progression of disease and the onset of new mutations such as c797s. The case demonstrates the underlying need for more molecular monitoring with tissue or liquid biopsies. Also, we give an example of the use of liquid biopsies in assisting in the identification of resistance mutations.
Case Report
The patient was a 54-year-old male nonsmoker with a past medical history significant for hypertension, hyperlipidemia, anxiety, and stage IV lung cancer (adenocarcinoma, with an EGFR mutation [exon 19 deletion]) diagnosed with tissue biopsy. He originally presented with multiple pulmonary nodules, multiple subcentimeter lesions on brain MRI, and metastatic lesions to the thoracic and lumbar spine. He was started on erlotinib 150 mg daily and received stereotactic brain radiation. Subsequent imaging revealed that the lesions in his chest and brain were stabilized or reduced in size for the next 10 months. The patient subsequently reported experiencing pain. MRI scan showed worsening on spine lesions (T11-L1), for which he underwent a short course of intensity-modulated radiation therapy; therapy with erlotinib continued. However, 3 months later an MRI of the brain revealed new brain metastases and systemic disease progression (PD) on PET scan.
The patient expressed interest in enrolling in a clinical trial: AURA 3 (NCT02151981) for osimertinib (Tagrisso) versus chemo- therapy. His tumor was biopsied again and sent for central testing. It was reported that the tumor did not have the T790M mutation in tissue and he was not accepted in the clinical trial. We started him on palliative chemotherapy with carboplatin and pemetrexed for 5 cycles until he again had PD.
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) through a liquid biopsy revealed positive results for T790M. We conducted a second test of his previously negative tissue biopsy that also revealed positive results for T790M mutation. There were no other actionable mutations such as ALK or MET.
The patient was started on osimertinib and he was stable for 14 months until systemic and brain PD was exhibited in the PET scan and brain MRI. We found an EGFR c797s–resistance mutation in his blood. The patient was started on palliative nivolumab and ipilimumab; however, therapy eventually failed and he died from complications of pneumonia.
Tyrosine kinases are part of a large multigene family that is crucial for signal transmission cascades.4 Many extracellular receptors of growth factors have an intrinsic TKI activity that is triggered by the process of binding their ligands. Phosphorylation of downstream effectors usually produces conformational changes in the EGFR receptor and exposes catalytic sites with the effectof signal amplification.5 Docking of TKIs in the catalytic sites is either favored by some mutations (sensitizing mutations) or conversely disfavored (resistance mutations such as T790M and c797s). The study of resistance mutations led to the design of third-generation TKIs like osimertinib.
We classify resistance as primary or acquired. Primary resistance is present when the tumor cells bear an intrinsic mechanism of resistance, and therefore do not respond to the original treatment. In acquired resistance, the tumor cells develop mechanisms of resistance under forces of natural selection or selective pressure.6 Primary resistance is developed during the process of clonal evolution of cancer cells; it exists in the absence of or the modification of drug target or the expression of mechanisms to escape that create drug resistance. Although the process is not fully understood, several EGFR mutations exhibit ex novo resistance to EGFR TKI, including L7475 and D761V in exon 19; T790M, V769M, and insertions in exon 20; and T854A and A871E in exon 21.7 T790M ex novo (before exposure to TKI) are variable in frequency, according to various studies, but the presence of this mutation before the treatment does not preclude the use of first-generation TKIs. The role that third-generation TKIs will play in this scenario is still not clear, beyond their potent activity in T790M-acquired mutation after TKI resistance. A prognostic role for T790M ex novo mutation was described together with a predictive value for a therapeutic benefit with pemetrexed.8 Jackman et al defined the criteria of acquired resistance for EGFR TKIs; they include prior monotherapy with EGFR TKIs in the presence of typical sensitizing mutations, or tumor progression within 30 days after achieving complete response, partial response (PR), or stable disease (≥6 months) to TKIs despite the uninterrupted treatment.9 In the clinical setting, treatment with TKIs could be continued after evidence of resistance, thus obtaining a prolonged period of disease control in some cases.10 Acquisition of T790M mutation is the most frequent mechanism of resistance; it occurs in about 50% to 60% of cases.11 Among other mechanisms that lead to resistance to EGFR TKI, it is important to consider c-MET amplification and the less-frequent presence of ALK translocations.7
Finding the resistance mutation can be a challenge. First, we do not frequently perform biopsies in patients with lung cancer, and second, after several years of conducting small biopsies with endobrachial ultrasound, we are experiencing an increase in CT-guided core biopsies. We also have to consider costs and morbidity for the patients when we order tissue biopsies.
As an alternative, liquid biopsies are easier and cheaper, and results are reported more quickly. As such, there is a great interest among oncologists to further develop this field. Liquid biopsies represent a new technology, and we all need to feel comfortable learning its role in our practice, either by complementing or replacing tissue biopsies with liquid biopsies. Data from Lanman et al12 using NGS in plasma versus tissue sequenced at 5 institutions in stage III-IV solid-tumor cancers showed that cell-free plasma DNA NGS sensitivity is 85% of that found in tissue NGS, likely because not all tumor DNA may be shed into circulation.
However, the tissue DNA NGS sensitivity is 80.7% versus that of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in plasma NGS, likely because cfDNA picks up intra- and inter-tumor heterogeneity that is missed by needle or forceps biopsies of tissue. Specificity was 99.6% versus 99.7%, and accuracy was 99.3% for both.
During the American Society of Clinical Oncology 2016 Annual Meeting, Wakelee et al13 presented data comparing liquid biopsy results from blood and urine with tissue biopsy results; the patients had NSCLC with T790M treated with rociletinib. They reported that EGFR T790M sensitivity is 80.9% for blood and 81.1% for urine, with tissue biopsy as the reference. Notably, only 57% of the patients were positive by all 3 types of sampling: Some patients were detected only by urine, blood, or tissue. Another important finding was that the objective response rate (ORR) to rociletinib was similar in all 3 types of patients (32% to 36%).
Regarding the use of agents, among third-generation TKIs that are specific to T790M mutations, only osimertinib has received the approval by the US and European regulatory agencies.14 Despite osimertinib's availability we still start therapy with the other TKIs, such as first-generation gefitinib or erlotinib, or second-generation afatinib, which has a dual EGFR/HER2 inhibition activity and it is approved for the treatment of lung tumors bearing the EGFR L858R mutation or exon 19 deletions.15 Osimertinib is still not approved for frontline therapy.
The LUX-Lung 5 trial showed that afatinib plus paclitaxel improved progression-free survival (PFS) (HR, 0.60; P = .003) and ORR (32.1% vs 13.2%; P = .005) compared with chemotherapy in patients with acquired resistance to TKIs and who progressed on afatinib after initial benefit.16 The specific activity against T790M mutation, however, is very limited. The LUX Lung-4 trial, which investigated patients who progressed while receiving the TKI afatinib, showed a confirmed ORR of 8.2%.17
Osimertinib is a third-generation irreversible TKI with selective activity against T790M mutation.14 It was approved based on the results of 2 phase II trials (AURAex and AURA 2), achieving ORR of 66% among 411 patients with EGFR T790M; the median PFS was 11 months and the disease control rate was 91%.18 A phase III trial (FLAURA) comparing osimertinib versus gefitinib or erlotinib in patients with advanced NSCLC showed promising activity in treatment-naïve patients with common EGFR mutations.19 Rociletinib (CO-1686) irreversibly binds mutant EGFR.
In a phase I trial,20 rociletinib showed promising activity, with an ORR of 60% in T790M-positive patients versus 37% in the T790M-negative group. However, the real-world ORR was less than described by authors (34% for the 625-mg arm and 28% for the 500-mg arm)21 and the pharmaceutical company stopped its development.22
New drugs such as olmutinib (BI 1482694), AP26113, ASP8273, EGF816, and PF-06747775 are currently under development. Unfortunately, new mechanisms of resistance, such as the c797s mutation as seen in our patient, are also appearing. In a study by Oxnard et al, 15 out of 67 (22%) patients had detectable c797s mutations. These 15 patients had detectable T790M (T790-positive/c797s-positive). Additionally, this mutation was more common with EGFR exon 19 del (13/43; 30%) than those with L858R (2/24; 8%; P = .06).23 Among the patients, 32 out of 67 (48%) had no detectable T790M in plasma despite presence of the original EGFR mutation, suggesting overgrowth of an alternate resistance mechanism, such as MET or HER2 amplification or BRAF V600E mutation. MET amplification is found in 4% of new lung cancer tumors and is present in 20% of patients with acquired EGFR mutations.24
The case report presented here illustrates a typical case of a patient with exon 19 EGFR-sensitive mutation, who, after months of experiencing benefit with TKIs, developed resistance to TKIs because of the development of an EGFR T790M mutation. It was a challenge to confirm the diagnosis because the tissue biopsy was negative, and the patient had to endure chemotherapy until a liquid biopsy found the EGFR T790M mutation; a second opinion from a tissue biopsy confirmed the mutation. Usually the patient would undergo another line of chemotherapy, without taking the extra step to get a second opinion or to order a liquid biopsy after negative tissue for T790M was reported. Repeat biopsy can reveal crucial information relevant to treatment decisions, but only, obviously, if it is performed. Fortunately, the use of liquid biopsy became an important tool in this case.25
It is worrisome that despite the fact that close to 60% of patients who fail TKI therapy have T790M, not all of these patients are currently being treated with osimertinib. This shortcoming might be due to not enough repeat biopsies being ordered, or due to the unavailability of liquid biopsy testing. Whatever the cause, there is much progress to be made in this regard for the benefit of our patients.

Valeant seeks to buy Cephalon
MISSISSAUGA, Ontario — Canadian drug maker Valeant Pharmaceuticals has proposed to buy Cephalon for $5.7 billion, Valeant said Tuesday.
The buyout offer, equal to $73 per share, includes a 29% premium over Cephalon's stock price. Valeant noted it had made previous offers, but was "disappointed by Cephalon's unwillingness to engage in discussions in a timely manner."
"We have taken a close look at Cephalon's business and believe we put forward a very compelling offer for Cephalon's stockholders," Valeant chairman and CEO J. Michael Pearson said. "We are also committed to trying to find additional value if we are allowed to conduct due diligence."
Cephalon makes the sleep disorder drugs Nuvigil (armodafinil) and Provigil (modafinil) and the pain treatment Fentora (fentanyl), among others. Valeant makes such drugs as the topical acne treatment Acanya Gel (clindamycin phosphate and benzoyl peroxide) and various branded generics.
Dr. Reddy's completes acquisition of U.S. penicillin facility, products from GSK

California is the pioneer in the development of renewable energy, whether wind, photovoltaic or solar thermal, and there began the development of an electric car.
The federal government yesterday approved funding for the construction of a photovoltaic solar power plant in California and Oregon wind farm will generate 379 megawatts together renewable energy, enough to power 112,500 homes and help to create over 600 jobs.
These would be the renewable energy projects number 26 and 27 respectively supported by the Department of the Interior over the past two years.
"As we continue to actively and swiftly moving into the future of renewable energy these projects strengthen local economies by creating good jobs and sustainable energy," said Ken Salazar, Secretary of the Interior.
In California, Solar Energy Project Sentinel is a solar power plant of 275 megawatts that will connect through the Imperial Valley Substation in San Diego Gas & Electric. This plant will create 367 jobs, generating more than $ 30 million in taxes during the life of the project, while providing enough electricity to supply about 82,500 homes.
The Oregon project, North Steens Transmission Line, is a line of 44 miles that will generate power for about 30,000 homes, 4.5 million in local tax revenue over the life of the project. Both projects were subject to extensive environmental review to mitigate any potential advance environmental impact, authorities said.
Because development on private land is connected to the federal law Pathways to transmission lines and can not proceed without approval from the Department of the Interior, the Environmental Impact Report and Environmental Assessment had to consider the impact of any generation and transmission projects, including the component that they will be located on private land.
