My Journey Back to Health
Many things in my life seem to be falling apart.
I need to change my approach to life. Get off the computer.
I've become too tired, and things are just getting worse.
My blood pressure has been high periodically throughout the day:
I can't screw around with this anymore. I'm going back on the beta blockers, full dose. I'm making an appointment with the doc, and I'm sure I'll be on several medications within a week. I don't care anymore. This has consumed my life long enough, with NO payoff.
I'm done with the woo woo internet health crap.
Turns out…when you stop taking a beta blocker, 3 days later all the adrenaline that it was supressing comes roaring back into the system. My heart rate is 98 bpm right now, sitting quietly. Doc said it was OK to quit cold turkey. Hope she's right.
Update 11:09PM:
Had to take 1/4 of a beta blocker to make the adrenaline stop. That was an hour ago, and my pulse has dropped to 93. I hope it drops into the 80s or I predict a sleepless night. Stupid fucking doctors. Wrong again.
I'm throwing the kitchen sink at my blood pressure problem.
Over the past few days I've been doing the following things:
Today my blood pressure mid-day was 131/89 – the lowest it's been in about a year. A week ago it was 152/99.
I have no idea what's making the difference, but I don't care. I'm going to continue all of it and hopefully it'll continue to improve.
No more salt. High blood pressure, and it makes it worse.
No more sugar. Diabetes, and it makes it worse.
No more progesterone. High blood pressure and it makes it worse.
No more orange juice. High triglycerides and it makes it worse.
I'll keep the liver, the dairy, the vitamins and minerals. Thanks for those, Ray Peat.
I'm back to eating a low carbohydrate diet. It's nice to have stable blood sugar for the first time in over 8 months. Will my thyroid suffer? It certainly will. But I probably won't die from being hypothyroid. At least not this week. I'm much more concerned about my blood pressure, blood sugar, and trigs…all of which are much worse now than they were when I started following Peat.
I'm focusing on nutrition this time around though…I won't be eating a meat-heavy diet the way I did last time I did low-carb. This time I'll be tracking in Cronometer for a while to ensure I meet most of my nutrients every day. I'll be eating a lot of vegetables. Maybe some fruit….but probably not much.
Dear everyone I ever preached to about health,
I was wrong. Sorry. I'll shut the hell up now.
As long as I've been reading and listening to the work of Ray Peat I've been hearing that progesterone has no side effects. Progesterone is "safe in large amounts (except…can be anesthetic if hundreds of milligrams are taken at once)," Peat himself said to me in an email.
I beg to differ.
The hot flashes that I've been experiencing for the last 2 months became troublesome for me. They were long, intense, and were paired with rage at times. I couldn't understand why I was having them – doesn't progesterone supplementation fool your body into thinking you're not experiencing perimenopause (or real menopause, for that matter)? Things had been going well, and I was confused, so I asked Dr. Peat about it. His response:
Some things that reduce hot flashes for some people are supplementing pregnenolone, interrupting the progesterone each cycle, using cynoplus only in the evenings, increased salt, and coffee. The natural ovarian cycle gives the liver time to adjust its enzymes, and with continuous progesterone supplements, the liver enzymes excrete progesterone more quickly, and weaken its effects.
I thought that was interesting about liver enzymes….maybe I was having hot flashes because I'd been dosing every day instead of just the last 2 weeks of my cycle. I did this knowingly, attempting to reverse the hyper-estrogenation I'd inflicted on my body with the stupid and dangerous Wiley Protocol. Of course, taking hormones in a non-physiological way is likely to cause problems at some point, so perhaps that's what was going on.
I stopped taking the progesterone for a few days. The hot flashes got worse. This led me to believe it WAS perimenopause I was dealing with. When the estrogen/progesterone ratio is too heavy in favor of estrogen, symptoms of menopause (or PMS, or other unpleasant things) occur. So I reversed course. I figured I'd take a LOT of progesterone, to get the hot flashes to stop. Then I'd taper down and find my new "normal" dose, after determining the threshold below which they broke through.
So a few days ago I decided to dose 3 drops every 1-2 hours, aiming for about 30 drops across the day. This would be 100mg of progesterone, about 5 times my normal dose, but according to Peat, still safe. By 5:00PM I didn't feel very good – kind of tired and tense. I was in the habit of taking my blood pressure and pulse because I'd recently started taking beta blockers for my hypertension, which usually runs around 150/95. So I took my blood pressure and it was 165/105 – about 10 points higher than even my normally high BP, with heart rate around 105 (usually around 85). I checked periodically throughout the evening and it remained high, but the next morning was a bit lower again.
That next day I did the same thing – 3 drops of Progest E every 1-2 hours. My hot flashes seemed to be getting less intense, so it seemed like the right thing to do. Again, around 5PM I started noticing tachycardia. I took my blood pressure and it was 164/107. That's when I started suspecting the progesterone had something to do with this, as I'd changed nothing else in the previous 2 days.
I hit Google and found this article about hypertension that occurs during pregnancy, which states the following:
In an article published in the July 7, 2000, issue of the journal Science, HHMI investigators Richard P. Lifton and Paul B. Sigler and colleagues at Yale University and Albert Einstein College of Medicine report that a mutation renders the mineralocorticoid receptor more sensitive to progesterone, a hormone that is produced in abundance during pregnancy. (…)
When the mineralocorticoid receptor is triggered by aldosterone, its normal binding partner, it switches on the cellular machinery that causes kidney cells to reabsorb more salt, ultimately raising blood pressure. Lifton's group found that when women who have the faulty receptor undergo the hundred-fold rise in progesterone that occurs during pregnancy, progesterone overstimulates the receptor, causing salt retention, expansion of blood plasma volume and skyrocketing blood pressure.
So what this is saying is that some people have a protein mutation that makes them more sensitive to progesterone. In such a person, progesterone in high amounts (such as in pregnancy….or, say, when you're me and desperately trying to make hot flashes disappear) can cause the kidneys to retain more fluid…raising blood pressure.
I should mention, when I was pregnant I developed hypertension (not pre-eclampsia), which led to my daughter being born by C-section 3 weeks before her due date. My blood pressure was so high she was in distress. Before that I had not had a problem with high blood pressure, and after the pregnancy my blood pressure returned to normal.
So after finding this article I went to the drugstore and bought some diuretic pills and took one. Within a few hours my blood pressure returned to it's "normal" state of hypertension – 150s over 90s, and my pulse was back in the 80s. I stopped taking the progesterone at that point – I guess that was 3 days ago now. My hot flashes have almost vanished – just little reminders here and there. I guess I increased my progesterone level quite a bit and it's not dropping quickly.
I wrote to Dr. Peat to share this story and the article I found, and to ask if he's ever encountered anything like this in his research or practice. I haven't heard back from him yet. I'm trying not to make that mean anything. He must know that everything he puts in print becomes fodder for the public so perhaps he's choosing his words carefully. Or maybe he's off researching the issue intently. Or maybe he just blew it off because it's terribly inconvenient to have someone tell you that you were wrong and that in fact SOME people actually do have serious side effects associated with high doses of progesterone.
I developed high blood pressure while living in California, around December of 2012. At the time I was taking high dose progesterone and estrogen supplements, a la the Wiley Protocol. I did stop taking those in March 2013, and then there was a period of time when I wasn't taking any hormone supplements at all, until I started with the Progest E in November 2013. Looking back at previous blog posts I see I've posted various blood pressure measurements over the past year or so:
What if progesterone supplementation is behind my high blood pressure? I wasn't taking progesterone between April and November, and during that period my blood pressure was lower (according to this blog, anyway), with the exception of the time I tried to drink 100oz of water every day.
I'm sure progesterone is safe for most people…but I'm curious how many people have this mutation?
Am I rare?
New plan: No progesterone supplementation for a while. If I find myself needing it I'll take a few drops, but no more than 3 per day, and only during the last 2 weeks of my cycle. Also no more extra salt. I'm also drinking celery juice and taking Hawthorn because I understand these things can be helpful for lowering blood pressure. I've tried 3 different anti-hypertensive medications – 2 caused problematic side effects and one just didn't work. I tried everything I've seen Peat recommend for high blood pressure (eating MORE salt, high dose vitamin K, bag breathing, more potassium, magnesium/epsom salt baths).
There will be other new plans too. Stay tuned.
Looking back over old posts, I appeared to be doing really well around late February early March of this year. On March 6th I wrote the following:
Did I mention that I feel really good almost every day now? Now if my mood is low or I feel tired I can usually directly attribute it to something I did differently than usual, like eating starches or experimenting with a new supplement. Before Peat-ing I was tired, depressed, and anxious most days. I never felt "happy". Then after adopting some of Peat's recommendations I started feeling better in the mornings – not every morning, but a lot of them, and in the afternoon I'd go back to feeling low-energy. Now almost every morning is delightful and a few times a week I feel great all day long.
In that same post, I wrote that I was 1 week into a weight-training program designed for me by a trainer at the gym. I also wrote that the trainer gave me a crappy diet to follow, including tons of starches and restrictions on sugar. I had tried the diet and didn't get to lunch on day 1 before realizing there was no way I could eat that food. The oats for breakfast made me tired and depressed.
My next post on March 16 says the following:
I haven't written much because it's been a rough week. I definitely have ups and downs, more so now that I'm following Peat because I didn't used to have many "ups"…To summarize, my depression returned and stuck around for a week.
There were several variables at play, but looking back I was really stressing my body with that workout. I kept at it for a while – maybe 6 or 7 weeks, and the workouts were too long and too hard. The plan designed for me included 16 different resistance exercises, and she wanted me to do 2 sets of 15 for each one, with only very short breaks between sets. I was nauseated several times in the middle of the workout, and for the first month I never fully allowed myself to recover. I was working out 2x a week, but it took more than 3-4 days to recover from these workouts. I was just so determined to get better, to be strong and fit again, that I continued even when my body was telling me to stop. I made the mistake of having the plan designed by the owner of the gym. She was always there. Sometimes she would see me resting between sets and bark at me from across the room, "What are you taking a nap there?" Or she'd see me finish a set without resorting to poor form and she'd walk over and tap on the heavier weights, as if to say, "Time to move up to the heavier ones." I started hating going there. It was no fun and every time I went it got harder. I finally quit going to the gym altogether. Boy, that whole thing sucked.
Of course, then I went and tinkered some more. Low fat, Vitamin B6, more sugar, starches…and I completely stopped having that happy feeling. I don't think I've felt it since.
For right now I'm going to back to straight up Peat-inspired eating and living. No weird stuff. No biohacks. No experiments. I just want to feel happy again. No exercise for now. My blood pressure is still not well controlled, and I think working out caused my depression to return in March. I'm just going to keep it simple – something along the lines I described previously toward the bottom of this post.

My Favorite Albums of 2008
This is a rough list that will probably change in about an hour. I think that while last year brought a lot of good follow-ups (M.I.A., Arcade Fire, LCD Soundsystem, to name a few) 08 brought a lot of really great new bands (Vampire Weekend, Fleet Foxes, Bon Iver, Los Campesinos, Santogold). Folk music (Fleet Foxes, Bon Iver) got pretty big, as did grunge (No Age, a runner-up for my list) and anything afro-beat inspired (Vampire Weekend, Dodos). Can't wait to see what 2009 will bring, and if any of this year's debuts will create some great follow-ups!
1. fleet foxes
2. keep your eyes ahead- the helio sequence
3. narrow stairs- death cab
4. visiter- the dodos
5. viva la vida- coldplay
6. volume one- she and him
7. vampire weekend
8. for emma, forever ago- bon iver
9. little joy
10. hold on now, youngster...- los campesinos
11. feed the animals- girl talk
12. mission control- the whigs
13. evil urges- my morning jacket
14. pershing- someone still loves you boris yeltsin
15. stay positive- the hold steady
16. santogold
While all of those are albums released this year, my ultimate favorite album that I listened to in 2008 would have to be the New Pornographer's Challengers. I don't know why I never bought this in 07. Every song is perfect and wonderful and amazing.

Teardown shows Xoom costs more to build than iPad
FRAMINGHAM 1 MARCH 2011 - A teardown analysis of Motorola's Xoom tablet by IHS iSuppli found its materials cost nearly $360, compared with $320 for materials in the comparable 32GB iPad 3G.
As expected, the biggest differences were with Xoom's dual-core processor, compared with iPad's single-core chip, and Xoom's two cameras. The current iPad has no cameras.
At retail, a Xoom without a Verizon two-year contract sells for $799.99. A comparable iPad sells for $729.
That's a retail difference of nearly $70. Given the processor and camera differences, which increase the materials cost for Xoom by $24, the difference in cost with a comparable iPad is reduced to about a $46 premium for Xoom.
The analysis found that iPad costs were lower in every subcomponent except for the baseband/radio frequency/power amplifier section, which was about one-third higher for iPad.
Motorola's Xoom and the iPad have similar size screens at about 10-inches, and have been widely compared in general appearance and functionality. Xoom only hit the market last week on Verizon Wireless. The iPad first went on sale last April.
"On the inside, it's a pretty good match as well," the newly-renamed IHS iSuppli said in a statement Tuesday.
The company did a physical dissection of the Xoom, examining the materials, and found that Motorola "closely lined up the Xoom's components with that of the iPad's, especially where it counts: in the touchscreen, the display and the cellular radio," said Wane Lam, an analyst at IHS iSuppli.
"Of all the iPad killers analyzed by the IHS iSuppli teardown team, the Xoom best approximates the cost/performance standard set by Apple," Lam said.
While the Xoom makes up for elements missing in the iPad, such as no camera, Lam noted that iPad 2 will likely fill the gaps when announced as expected on Wednesday.
One analyst suggested Tuesday that Apple should get a jump on the tablet competition with iPad 2 by dropping the price and expanding its distribution.
Xoom's 10.1-in. display and touchscreen materials cost $140, or 39% of the total bill of materials, according IHS iSuppli's analysis. Meanwhile, iPad's 9.7-in. display and touchscreen cost $125, according to analysis done last year.
Memory is the next biggest subsystem expense in the Xoom, costing $80.40, or 22%. That compares with $67.80 in the 32GB iPad.
One of the biggest differences in cost is the processor in each device, with double the processor costing nearly twice as much. Xoom's dual core Nvidia Tegra 2 processor and associated parts costs $20.78 or 5.8%, almost double the iPad 3G's single-core A4 processor, which costs less than $11.

"One Man's Trash Is Another Man's Treasure"
I've spent more time than usual on several social media sites and message boards. It was a much-needed distraction, but, uh, not right now. Not based on what I see happening. Is it just me, or are the internet flame wars flaring out of control? From nasty comments about whether someone is a good writer or not, to threads on the worst books ever published, I had to raise my white flag and beg off for a little peace.
Haven't we as writers figured out the concept of karma yet? I'm not telling people what they can or can't say in a public forum, but for Christ's sake, just use a little common sense before doing it. Think about all that could happen as someone trashes Writer X today. Maybe, that person thinks that despite X's millions in earnings, he's just a lucky SOB who landed a six figure deal. Maybe, Writer X happens to be the big ticket name in that person's genre. Just can't figure out how he managed to be the darling of the critics when everyone knows he couldn't write his way out of a paper bag, huh? So, after spewing vitriol all over the internet, what could potentially happen? Hmm. Say Writer X has a Google alert for each time his name appears on the Web and sees those messages. Worse, his fans come across them and escalate a flame war like none ever seen. What about this other writer's potential readers and fans? What might they think? Some may agree with the opinion, but maybe now, the other writer just looks like a jealous idiot. Like someone whose books they might not want to buy.
I've been there before, looking at other writing friends doing really well and wondering, what am I doing wrong? Why can't I pull in those massive numbers like he or she is doing? But before I let jealousy rear its ugly head, I stop and think, "How does worrying about any of what he / she is doing help my writing? Shouldn't I concentrate on making each of my books better than the previous ones?" Took me a little while to figure out, but I really can't measure myself by the success of others. I'm only here to applaud those successes and concentrate on shaping my best stories.
Whatever anyone's estimation of another's talent, those writers who've made it to the top of the heap did so for a reason. They have the earning and the fans to prove their worth. Just because someone doesn't like their writing or thinks they lack talent doesn't make it so. One person's "trash" really can be another's treasure.
Seems to me, we spend way too much time trying to figure out how other writers are achieving success. How about concentrating on how we can make it to the top too?

Very eloquent, Lisa. And so true - so stop reading the detractors and get to work! Cos I know you can do it.

What I think is strange about the writing community is that it's so disparate. On the one side you have lovely people who will help other aspiring authors to succeed anyway they can. Then there is this part that begrudge others success.
I think it all comes from insecurity, to be honest. It's easier to destroy something than to build it from scratch.

Hi Lisa, I just started following your blog and I really like your writing, your passion and the variety of ideas in your posts. I get many hits from your blogsite so I decided I better come over here and look around.
Here's my RX for inability to write a certain passage. I get into a meditative state, visualize the physical book in my hand, turn to the chapter that is making me stumble and see it as already printed. If possible I try to see the first sentence. Usually, if I get the first sentence right, the rest of the chapter gushes out. I concentrate on getting that first sentence right and the rest follows. If this sounds simplistic and childish that's because I am simplistic and childish.
BTW, I am most proud of my historical saga.

Hi Lisa
Like Consuelo, I got a couple of hits o my blog from yours so i thought i'd come and have a looksee. I like what you had to say on this post and it has given me some food for thought most certainly!

Ladies, thank you all for your thoughtful comments on this post. I really think we do ourselves a disservice to PUBLICLY bash other writers. IF I feel the need to say something negative about another author, I reserve those comments for Skype chats and telephone calls.
@Anita - yeah, yeah, yeah! Hey you, don't you have a new book out that needs some promotion? Snap to it!
@Christine - I really do agree with you about the two camps and where the second camp comes in with their own insecurities. It's human to feel some jealousy, but no should ever make themselves look like an idiot because of it.
@Consuelo - thanks for following. I know much you put into your work, based on the samples I've read of Daughters alone. If your writing flows as well as it does by your method, please, don't mess with a very good technique.
@Ann - seems it's easy to forget how much people put into their work. For most of us, it sn't a matter of ego or think we're God's gift to writing. We just write from our hearts.
@Paula - thanks for stopping by too. I do try to keep these rants to a minimum, but sometimes I just can't help myself! lol. Happy that it gave some food for thought.

If there's a writer I really, really dislike, I usually refrain from talking about it online. If I have a beef with their writing, I mention it privately to friends and recommend they not read that author's books. And I explain why. But on the internet, where nothing truly disappears, if you as an author badmouth a fellow writer, you might as well be saying, "Hey, I'm a childish jerk, come trash me back!"

talked with the fifth graders about the history of SVDP and its mission in the Church.
In 1883, Frederick Ozanan decided to found the "Conference of Charity" to assist the poor. A short time later, they decided to change the name to the St. Vincent de Paul Society, after their patron.
The St. Pius X Chapter was established in 1981. The mission of SVDP is to enhance member's spirituality by providing opportunities to practice the Spiritual Works of Mercy: mainly feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, and praying for the living and the dead.
After listening to Jim and Barbara, the 5th graders practiced their own work of mercy by helping to put away the cans collected at mass. Right now they SVDP Society is putting together bags of food for the poor to be distributed during the holidays. After these bags are created their pantry will be empty!!!
Please remember them in January as they will need more food so they can continue to help the poor. Everything they distribute to the poor of our community is because of the generous parishioners of St. Pius X and the Bishop Lynch Community.

IHRDC Press Conference
NEW YORK, NY The Iran Human Rights Documentation Center (IHRDC) released Violent Aftermath: The 2009 Election and Suppression of Dissent in Iran at a press conference and panel discussion at Hughes, Hubbard & Reed LLP. The report is the most comprehensive record to date of human rights abuses committed in Iran since last summers disputed presidential election. The report documents in detail dozens of human rights abuses of Iranians and foreigners -- including beatings, kidnappings, rapes and murders -- and analyzes the perpetrators liability under Iranian and international law.
Violent Aftermath: The 2009 Election and Suppression of Dissent in Iran draws upon dozens of interviews IHRDC conducted with activists, experts and victims of government suppression, most of whom have chosen to remain anonymous for security reasons. Personal accounts of the protests after the June election and the mass show trials that followed identified unambiguous cases of use of excessive force, failure to protect right to life, and murder by members of the Iranian government named in the report. Given the Iranian governments concerted efforts to hide and distort the record, this report also analyzes and compares witness testimony with reports in the official Iranian press and the international press.
The clear evidence of human rights abuses contained in Violent Aftermath: The 2009 Election and Suppression of Dissent in Iran demands serious consideration. To examine the reports implications, IHRDC turned to a pair of uniquely qualified minds, Shadi Sadr and Payam Akhavan. Ms. Sadr and Mr. Akhavan discussed the legal options available in Iran and internationally, as well as the costs and benefits of attempting to hold the perpetrators accountable for their crimes.
Ms. Sadr is an Iranian attorney who defended activists and journalists facing execution before she herself was abducted and jailed on July 17, 2009. Now in exile, she joined the release of Violent Aftermath: The 2009 Election and Suppression of Dissent in Iran via live video conference. Mr. Akhavan served as the first legal advisor to the Prosecutors Office in The Hague, where he played a key role in the development of the international tribunals for both Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia. He co-founded the Iran Human Rights Documentation Center in 2004.

Begun in 1855, the construction was not completed until 1894, although the first mass was celebrated in 1880. It helps to remember that prior to the 1830s, Mazatlán was little more than a collection of fishermen's huts. Once the city began to develop as one of Mexico's major West Coast ports, local businessmen looked for ways to improve the appearance of the town. In 1875, Father Miguel Lacarra mobilized these businessmen, among them Don Pedro Echeguren, to help financially. These contributions spurred the previously slow construction work on the Catedral. Don Pedro, owner of mines, textile factories, water works, and other land holdings, was one of the richest men in the area. He had been living in sin but he promised Father Lacarra that, once the Catedral was finished, he would marry his live-in lover there. He kept his word.
Virgin of Guadalupe either shows her alone in her classic pose, or includes Juan Diego, the indigenous man who first encountered her in the early 16th Century. The statue above, found to the right of the Catedral entrance, is unusual in showing a different aspect of the story. Bishop Zumárraga had been very skeptical that the Virgin had really appeared before this lowly person. He asked for proof. Juan Diego returned to the ruined Aztec temple and the Virgin told him to collect flowers (traditionally roses) from the hill on which the temple was located. Juan Diego returned to the bishop with a cloak full of miraculously out-of-season flowers (it was winter). Opening the garment, both he and Bishop Zumárraga were astonished to find the image of the Virgin imprinted on the fabric. That moment is captured in the statue above.
St. Ambrose (337-390 AD) was one of the Four Doctors of the Catholic Church who are considered its greatest theologians. While he was a great theologian, he also advocated violent action against synagogues, becoming one of the earliest anti-semites. He successfully protested the Roman Emperor's order to rebuild a synagogue destroyed by a mob. This led to similar anti-semitic destruction all over the Empire, of which St. Ambrose explicitly approved. The Church at the time was struggling to gain dominance over religious practices within the late Roman Empire. In addition to the Jews, there were various powerful Christian splinter groups such as the Arians, as well as many supporters of the old pagan gods of Rome. St. Ambrose successfully confronted several of the Roman Emperors of his time, persuading them to reverse their stances on religious issues and to support the Catholic theological positions.

as a tight squeeze in the Grosvenor Hotel on Park Lane yesterday as the Westminster Property Association (WPA) held its annual lunch, with more than 1,000 attendees from the likes of Land Securities, Grosvenor Estate and the Crown Estate.
"We're really selective about our membership, as you can see from the room today," laughed WPA chairman Daniel Van Gelder.
British Property Federation chief Liz Peace was there, fresh from the James Andrew International party the night before. "What is it about this time of year, events just pile up?" she told The Capitalist.
The speaker for the lunch was BBC's political editor Nick Robinson, who managed to pack in the event before jumping on a train to Rochester. "We're glad he could make it before going off to cover the racist by-election, sorry! The Rochester by-election," said Van Gelder.
"I'm glad he made that joke rather than me," said Robinson as he joined the stage.
Robinson went on to regale the crowd with some of his all-time favourite political quotes. The one which raised the most laughs was from one Nicolas Sarkozy. "When talking about David Cameron's getting involved in Eurozone crisis talks, the French President said, 'it's like he's gone to a swingers party without bringing his wife'."
Cue uproarious laughing from the crowd.

BRUSSELS (AP) — The European Union's top diplomat is looking for a fresh formula to revive the now moribund peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians.
Federica Mogherini, who chaired negotiations that led to a deal on Iran's nuclear program, said Monday she's working on fleshing out an idea for "an international support group." The group would build on the existing "quartet" of the EU, United States, Russia and the United Nations.
Right now "there seems to be no peace process at all" between Israel and the Palestinians, Mogherini said.
She said a new regional and international framework is necessary to foster a more positive environment.
Mogherini spoke to reporters after a meeting of EU foreign ministers, who said in a statement that leaving the status quo unchanged "is not an option."
To improve the chances for concluding a "just and lasting peace," the ministers asked Mogherini to explore the possibilities for establishing the support group, and to report back to them in early September.
"It's an idea that needs to be explored," Mogherini told reporters. It would be the first time in years that the format for Mideast peace talks would be broadened to include new actors, the EU official added.
In their statement, EU ministers also called for the establishment of an independent and democratic Palestinian state that would live side by side and in peace with Israel. They said there "is no alternative to a negotiated two-state solution."
"The regional context, including the ongoing radicalization and spread of terrorism, makes it even more urgent to end the conflict," EU ministers said.

Colon Cancer
Colon cancer is one of the most common causes of death in the United States. Fortunately, it is also one of the most preventable of all cancers. Why is that so? Because colon cancer is usually very slow growing and the sort of abnormal tissue or growths that might turn into cancer – usually called polyps – can often be detected on a colonoscopy well before cancer has developed.
The key to preventing or detecting colon cancer is the colonoscopy. For most people, doctors recommend that you get a colonoscopy after you turn age 50 and then once every ten (10) years after the first one. The colonoscopy is generally pain free and takes less than one-half hour to perform. The patient is in and out of the hospital in several hours.
During the procedure, the patient is sedated but is kept awake as the doctor inserts a tube with a camera on the end of it into the rectum and then guides it up through the colon. All the while, the doctor is looking for any abnormal tissue or polyps that might turn into cancer.
While colon cancer is easy to detect, patients must have the colonoscopy in order to find it. Many of the colon cancer cases we have handled have dealt with situations where doctors did not perform colonoscopies on patients who were having signs and symptoms suggesting that there might be something wrong in their colon. For example, if someone is having rectal bleeding, unusual diarrhea or other problems in their GI tract, it could be an indication that there is a problem in the colon. Under those circumstances, the doctor should not hesitate to order a colonoscopy.
If abnormal issue or polyps are discovered during a colonoscopy, usually the doctor can use a small cutting device at the end of the scope to snare the polyp and remove it. If it turns out that the tissue is cancerous, it would usually be necessary to return to surgery for a more extensive operation.
As mentioned, colonoscopies are usually pain free and easy to perform, but there are some risks with the procedure. The main one is the possibility that the scope will cause a tear in the colon as the doctor is advancing it upward. When that happens, the doctors should notice it and repair the tear right away. If that does not happen and the patient is sent home, they can develop further problems, and in those situations there may be valid grounds for a legal claim because the doctor did not discover the tear when it occurred.
Over the years, we have handled several cases involving a delay in diagnosing colon cancer which then may lead to a wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of the spouse or family of the patient. The best way to prevent a delay in diagnosing colon cancer is to make sure that people undergo colonoscopies and the doctors order them when they are necessary.

Talking to your physician about any problems that are facing is the most important to perform. So, this is all that you should find out about this topic. Everybody knows that abortion pills certainly are a great way to terminate the being pregnant and if you want to generate some fine results on the run then you is going for this approach to abortion.The ongoing companies will co-promote the products in North America.

For Early Breast Malignancy, More U.S. Ladies Choose Much less Invasive Treatment: – FRIDAY, Oct. 9, 2015 – – American ladies with an early, noninvasive stage of breasts cancer are increasingly deciding on less extensive surgery, a fresh study says. But there is one exception to the tendency: The number of patients who opt to have both breasts removed is growing, even though this technique doesn't improve survival, based on the researchers. The study centered on what's referred to as ductal carcinoma in situ – – an extremely early stage of breasts cancer that indicates the current presence of noninvasive, yet early cancer cellular material potentially.

Don't let hay fever spoil your summer
Did you know you don't need to see your GP for hay fever treatment?
Hay fever and seasonal allergy treatments such as tablets, eye drops and nasal sprays are all easily available at low cost from your local pharmacy – no prescription from your GP required!
Antihistamines are usually the best treatment for hay fever and these can easily be bought from local pharmacies or supermarkets. Buying a packet of 30 tablets can cost as little as £2, but if a patient goes to their GP to get a prescription then it costs the NHS considerably more.
By going to the pharmacy you'll be saving yourself time and money, freeing up GP appointments for people with more urgent needs as well as doing your bit to help the NHS save money on unnecessary prescription costs.
For more information about treating allergies or to find your nearest pharmacy and opening times visit www.nhs.uk
Top tips to help ease hay fever symptoms:
Stock up for summer!
The warmer weather often means that we spend more time getting out and about. That's why it is even more important to make sure you stock up on some summer self-care essentials in case you need them.
Key first aid essentials include:
All of these are easily available to buy at local pharmacies or supermarkets. Further information on medicine cabinet essentials is available HERE
For advice on travel health including sun safety, vaccinations, DVT and how to apply for your European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) is available HERE

If you click on the pictures, they get bigger :)
Studying the Industrial Revolution led us to study worker v. owner conflict at the turn of the 20th century. We used the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire as a case study and watched the PBS documentary: Triangle Fire.
Questions 10-13 of the accompanying viewing guide asked students to identify beliefs and thoughts, and how both owners and workers reacted when they believed the thoughts. See picture.
Students answered differently from each other, which is really neat.
Learning about history by studying and examining how thought led to decisions and actions (of all kinds) is REALLY exciting. Teenagers can make these connections through case studies like the Triangle Fire. Initially, I experience learning about history like this contributes to an open-minded atmosphere, and I know it's just a pin prick of what's possible.
Here's a link to the PBS documentary Triangle Fire:

You have most likely found the perfect wedding venue, and developed the most delectable menu. However, have you given your wedding ceremony music some consideration? It is important to remember that the tunes you decide on for your big day will set the mood, so choosing them wisely is surely ideal.
With many songs to choose from, you may be having a difficult time settling on a select few. But, this decision can certainly be a little easier by knowing some tips.
Here at Philadelphia String Quartet, we are so honored to perform at weddings and events. That's why we have gathered some tips to assist you in choosing your wedding ceremony music with ease. If you are looking for some inspiration, be sure to continue reading:
· Is your wedding religious? Some of us choose to take part in religion, and have our ceremony within a gorgeous church. However, if so, you may be limited to the music that you can choose for your ceremony. It is important to check with your church to make yourself aware of the guidelines that are allowed. Oftentimes, you can play any music that you would like as long as it is instrumental, which makes a quartet and ideal choice for your ceremony. Overall, make sure you know which song options are available to you before making your final decision.
· What is the setting of your wedding? From a rustic themed wedding to a black-tie affair, you will want to ensure that your chosen songs represent your theme. For example, you probably wouldn't want the bubbly tunes of Britney Spears to be showcased for your formal ceremony. However, it is important to remember that this is your big day, so you should not shy away from any sound that would add some personalization to your ceremony.
· Is electricity available? You may have planned a DJ for your reception within your venue, but your ceremony may take place on a beach, in a park, or any other setting where electricity may not be available. While you may have the perfect songs in mind, how will you present them? If you choose a quartet to perform your music, you can ensure that no matter where your ceremony takes place, your chosen song can be beautifully performed for your special day.
Music is what will set the mood for your entire wedding! So, ensuring that it will be performed to perfection is important! Here at Philadelphia String Quartet, we would be honored with the opportunity to plan and perform your wedding music. If you are still on the hunt for a wedding band in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, be sure to contact us today.

Time for Curlin to strut his stuff
LOUISVILLE, Ky. Big Brown wore No. 1 as the 3-10 favorite in the Belmont Stakes last weekend. Curlin will wear No. 1 when he is bet down to similarly heavy favoritism Saturday in the Stephen Foster Handicap at Churchill Downs.
Trainer Steve Asmussen hopes the comparisons stop right there. Curlin, making his first start since winning the $6 million Dubai World Cup on March 29, needs to show us hes the same horse weve known all along, said Asmussen. He needs to run, and I believe Ive got him ready. Now he needs to go out and show us.
With Robby Albarado to ride, Curlin will break from the rail slot in the 1 1/8-mile Foster, which drew nine other older horses for its 27th running when entries were drawn Wednesday. Curlin will spot those opponents 10 to 15 pounds when he carries high weight of 128 in the Foster, a Grade 1 race that will have a $1 million purse for the first time.
The original purse of $750,000 is being supplemented with a $250,000 bonus if a Grade 1 winner starts. Besides Curlin, an earner of more than $8.8 million, the other Grade 1 winners entered are Einstein and Brass Hat.
Kent Desormeaux, who was aboard Big Brown when the colts Triple Crown bid was foiled last Saturday in the Belmont, has a Foster mount in Sam P., a Todd Pletcher-trained colt coming off an allowance win at Churchill. Desormeaux, the leading rider at the Keeneland spring meet in April, will be in from New York to ride extensively here Friday and Saturday. His other mounts on the Foster card include Zee Zee in the Regret, Halo Najib in the Jefferson Cup, and Danzon in the Mint Julep.
From the rail, and with weights and jockeys, this is the Foster lineup:
Curlin, 128 pounds, Albarado; Delightful Kiss, 114, Miguel Mena; Sam P., 113, Desormeaux; Einstein, 118, Julien Leparoux; Grasshopper, 117, Garrett Gomez; High Blues, 113, Corey Lanerie; Red Rock Creek, 113, Shaun Bridgmohan; Jonesboro, 114, Jamie Theriot; Barcola, 113, Jesus Castanon; and Brass Hat, 116, Calvin Borel.
Unlike in some prior years, there is no television coverage of Foster Day aside from what will be provided by HorseRacing TV. The 24-hour racing network has assigned Peter Lurie and Caton Bredar to handle the on-site reporting and commentary.
The Foster is carded as the 10th of 11 Saturday races and will be the second-to-last leg of an all-stakes pick six. In those other races:
* Grade 2, $300,000 Fleur de Lis Handicap (race 6): Hystericalady, winner of the Grade 1 Humana Distaff at Churchill and the Breeders Cup Distaff runner-up in 2007, will carry top weight of 121 pounds when she faces five other fillies and mares in the 1 1/8-mile race. Gomez takes over the mount from Rafael Bejarano on Hystericalady, who most recently was third, beaten just a head, in the 2008 Humana Distaff.
Cowgirls Dont Cry, with Mike Luzzi in to ride, figures as the second choice after winning the Grade 2 Shuvee Handicap at Belmont in her last start.
* Grade 3, $200,000 Regret Stakes (race 7): Pure Clan, third behind Proud Spell and Little Belle in the May 2 Kentucky Oaks in her last start, will be favored among a field of seven 3-year-old fillies in the Regret, a 1 1/8-mile turf race. Zee Zee, winner of the Edgewood on the Oaks undercard, will be one of the secondary choices.
* Grade 3, $175,000 Northern Dancer Stakes (race 8): In perhaps the most interesting sidebar to the Foster, three also-rans behind Big Brown in the May 3 Kentucky Derby Recapturetheglory (fifth), Pyro (eighth), and Visionaire (12th) are among the seven 3-year-olds entered in the 1 1/16-mile Northern Dancer. Gomez has picked up the mount on Visionaire.
* Grade 2, $200,000 Jefferson Cup (race 9): Gomez rode Tizdejavu to a 21-1 upset of the Crown Royal American Turf on the Oaks undercard, and they will try to prove that race was no fluke when they reunite in the Jefferson Cup, a 1 1/8-mile turf race. Old Man Buck, a three-time winner on turf last year, gets Albarado for his seasonal debut. A field of eight 3-year-olds was entered.
* Grade 3, $150,000 Early Times Mint Julep Handicap (race 11): Saving the biggest field for last, Churchill ends both the pick six and the pick four with the Mint Julep, a 1 1/16-mile turf race that drew 11 fillies and mares. Dreaming of Anna, second as the favorite in the Distaff Turf Mile on the Derby undercard, will be back from Chicago as the filly to beat with Gomez riding.

Matt Vespa writes, at Townhall
In 2013, over 700,000 jobs were lost due to minimum wage hikes. The American Action Forum found that every $1 increase accounted for a 1.48 percent spike in the unemployment rate. That's quite a steep butcher's bill. Moreover, some establishments are simply transitioning to electronic kiosks for orders to help blunt the inevitable rise in overhead costs due to these increases. Still, Democrats will push for these economically deficient policy proposals because they sound good, it looks good, and people buy into it hook, line, and sinker. If you're against it, prepare to be painted as anti-poor and heartless—which is exactly how Democrats want to portray Republicans during an election year.More.
Reality check: Let's look beyond the polemics.
Robotics, like the internet, changes everything. Progressives grasp that much better than traditionalists do. Trust me, they know exactly what they are doing.
Fifty years ago, workers versus management was a battle fought without any expectation that management could just obviate workers. The greedy management cusses were accused of "milking" the workers – but that meant that the workers were a source of profit. And they knew it.
As a source of profit, workers were comparatively difficult for progressives to represent. Progressives had to respect workers' usually traditional values.
The dawn of robotics means that, increasingly, progressives will represent dependents who can just be told what their values had better be. That's important if one has utopian plans for society, plans that most people do not even support. But if people contribute little except needs, that hardly matters.
It doesn't even matter if the customers prefer to be served by fellow human beings. They do prefer that. At my local superstore, customers avoid the automated checkouts as if they were the entrances to snake pits.
But if a fast food chain, for example, can't afford to offer food at prices customers can afford to pay, customers must settle for the robotics. The customers' own jobs may be threatened; they can't just go to an upscale diner.
I wish people like Matt Vespa would quit writing as if the progressives "should see" that huge increases in minimum wages will cause job loss. THey do indeed see that. They intend to benefit from it.
It would be nice to be able to explain the problem to voters, but they'll find out sooner or later anyway.

I was pregnant with my first child for 304 days. I listened to Guided Imagery for a Healthy Pregnancy approximately 250 times during my pregnancy. I also listened to Guided Imagery for a Successful Childbirth every day for the final 3 weeks of pregnancy. I even listened while having contractions 2 minutes apart (though I don''t remember hearing much of anything!).
Last Spring, I gave birth to a healthy newborn boy. He is now just turning 5 months old. As his Mom, of course I think he is pretty remarkable. However I get many comments from other people about how alert, observant, and smart he is. He is very aware of his surroundings and has excellent eye contact. He looks people right in the eye when he meets them, as if to really take them in. He is also very peaceful, patient and happy. He rarely cries. He smiles frequently and sleeps well.
I attribute his beautiful temperament in part to the guided imagery. I believe it was very effective in helping me to relax and visualize wonderful things. I believe my physiology changed for the better while listening to the cd''s. My mind, body and soul were open and filled with love for this growing life inside me. I envisioned the baby being surrounded by angels, ancestors and the greater source of Creation.
Thank you so very much,
J's Mom
[Ed. Note: We are thrilled that the CDs were helpful, but we cannot take credit for this delicious baby's fantastic temperament – for that, you gotta give DNA its due!!]

About the CBR650F
More peak power from revised intake funnels and a new free-breathing exhaust gives the CBR650F a satisfying rush to its 11,000rpm redline, while shorter gear ratios ensure harder acceleration through the mid-range. And with the power upgrade, a new raucous growl emanates from down low and grows to a fast-spinning howl as revs rise.
Its chassis too has been honed with a Showa Dual Bending Valve front fork and revised Nissin front brake calipers. Sharply angled, the CBR650F's new fairing highlights the engine and accentuates the aggressive, ready-for-action stance, with an overall look and feel redolent of the 2017 CBR1000RR Fireblade. The headlight and taillight are now LED.
For 2017, the CBR650F's engine has an extra 3kW up top, with a 67kW @ 11,000rpm peak power output. The increase - which is noticeable from 5,000rpm - is due to new intake and exhaust flow management: shorter air intake funnels feed four 32mm throttle bores from a down-flow airbox (which itself draws through larger intake ducts) and in turn the right side-swept 4-1 exhaust now employs a dual-pass internal structure (rather than triple-pass) in the muffler, reducing back pressure. It also features a larger final exit aperture.
With shorter gear ratios from second through to fifth, the new CBR650F gets away from the line faster than the previous model and from a 60km/h second gear roll-on will pull out 3 bike lengths over 400m.
Slightly increased peak torque of 64Nm arrives at 8,000rpm, and the engine's tractability allows it to pull smoothly from idle at 1,500 in sixth gear. Adding an extra layer of aural satisfaction, a throaty induction growl at low-to-mid rpm swaps over to an addictive high-rpm howl reminding the CBR650F rider of Honda's four-cylinder racing pedigree.
The 649cc engine uses a compact internal architecture, stacked six-speed gearbox and starter/clutch layout with the cylinders canted forward 30°. The DOHC 16-valve cylinder head employs direct cam actuation; bore and stroke is set at 67mm x 46mm with compression ratio of 11.4:1.
Asymmetric piston skirts minimise bore contact and reduce friction. Ferrous spines on the outer surface of the cylinder sleeves reduce oil consumption (and friction) with improved heat transfer and a silent SV cam chain reduces frictional losses by using a Vanadium coating on its pins. Internal water channelling from cylinder head to cylinders does away with most of the exterior hoses.
Fuel consumption of 21km/l (WMTC mode) gives a range of over 350km from the 17.3L fuel tank. The CBR650F engine is EURO 4 compliant.
The CBR650F's steel diamond frame uses twin 64mm x 30mm elliptical spars with a rigidity balance specifically tuned (stiffer around the headstock and more 'flexible' in the spar sections) to deliver balanced handling characteristics with high levels of rider feedback. Rake is set at 25.5° with trail of 101mm and wheelbase of 1,450mm. Kerb weight is 213kg.
A brand new 41mm Showa Dual Bending Valve (SDBV) front fork improves ride comfort and handling, delivering proportional rebound damping with firmer compression damping as the 120mm stroke is used up. Octagonal fork caps are finished in attractive Alumite. Adjustable for 7-stage spring preload, the single-tube monoshock operates directly on the curved gravity die-cast aluminium swingarm.
Cast aluminium six-spoke wheels wear 120/70-17 and 180/55-17 front and rear radial tyres and feature L shaped air valves for easier maintenance. Revised two-piston Nissin front calipers work 320mm wavy discs, with a single-piston rear/240mm disc. Two-channel ABS is fitted as standard.
The new front fairing not only adds Super Sport style, but also channels airflow from the high pressure area at the front to the interior airbox intake duct. It also shows off the engine to the maximum - it was designed to be on display after all - and highlights the aggressive Mass Forward stance of the machine.
Minimal side panels sharpen up the rear and the clear-lensed LED taillight complements the crisp LED headlight. The seat's narrow middle profile helps ground reach and it sits on rubber mounts that are carefully shaped (with specific hardness) to minimise vibration. Seat height is 810mm.
The dash comprises twin large digital screens. On the left are the rev-counter and speedometer; on the right are a fuel gauge, clock, odometer and the warning lights. Both sides are lit by a white back light. The key is a compact wave design.

So we know we need a system to help us create knowledge bases, and we know we need a system or software to help us manage all the knowledge that we have in our knowledge bases. So now let's take a look at some popular software available today that creates knowledge bases and manages knowledge. Remember, when looking for software, you have two options. You can either go for a free software package, or a paid one.
Novo Solutions has several products that contain the Knowledgebase Module. These products include Customer Support Suite, Service Desk, MediTrac and Citizen Request Manager. All of these help different aspects of your business and all of them come equipped with a knowledge base.
The software supports industry standards such as MS SQL Server and ASP/ASP.Net. It is easy to use in a variety of settings. It has capabilities to edit content, add multimedia and pictures, and to enable different access levels. Editing features include a spellcheck tool.
This software is core to customer service because it enables 24/7 self-service for customers. It benefits employees too, because they acquire knowledge much faster when using this, cutting down on training time.
It benefits the company because knowledge is stored. If an employee leaves, he/she doesn't take their knowledge with them.
Novo Solutions software is available for a free trial.
Spiceworks is a free knowledge base software for IT teams. Its main purpose is to run an IT helpdesk and monitor networks. It provides a place for IT teams to share their knowledge and glean knowledge from others. There is the option of choosing whether only your team sees any articles you post, or whether the entire Spiceworks community also sees it.
You can write articles and create a reference portal. You have the option of sharing articles with clients so that they can help themselves with any questions they may have. You also have the option of bookmarking articles so that your team can see them, and vice versa.
Spiceworks is not just for articles, you can share any info you have, such as their enormous library (created by the IT community) of know-how's.
ProProfs Knowledge Base is a knowledge management software used to create highly-searchable online FAQ's to improve customer service and reduce tickets. ProProfs helps centralize access to all your files, documents and how-to articles ensuring they can be accessed across multiple devices and platforms. Organizations can easily share important information to train their sales, customer service and support teams. It is also an effective method for introducing new hires to company procedures during the onboarding process. ProProfs Knowledge Base improves productivity by making it easy for employees and customers to instantly find what they're looking for, whenever and wherever they need it. ProProfs Knowledge Base Software eliminates the need to answer the same questions over and over again.
This is software for customers and employees alike. Employees can easily write articles, and readers have the option of reading these articles in any language they like. Articles are organised into topics, with the most relevant topics the most accessible.
A feature called Smart Synopsis uses RSS feeds to help you access the most relevant articles, forums, wikis and categories.
As a customer service employee, you will be able to track which articles are most often searched for and viewed, so that you know what the demand is, and can increase your efforts in that direction.
A system guides public through their questions so that they can help themselves.
This is software for customer service. It has tools such as 24/7 self-help on the Web, and the ability to create a portal for customers, as well as a community and knowledge base for them.
You can survey what customers need and what they are using so that you can ask them questions and contact them before they need to contact you. This is proactive service. Measure their satisfaction, as well as your team performance with special data features.
A huge plus, is that more than 100 apps work with Zendesk, so you can integrate your work with this knowledge base.
Zendesk has a free 30-day trial, and either a month-month, or annual fee.
The Final Word
These are but four software that creates and manages knowledge bases. There are many more available, and we would need several other articles just to briefly describe even the other popular ones. Start your own search and choose the perfect one for you!
A free package is useful if you're just starting out, and you're not sure whether you need a KBS or not. No costs means your company doesn't lose out. However, free software often lacks support for issues and problems that arise. On the flip side, paying for software guarantees support and -sometimes- help with the installation and management of your knowledge base. When looking for software, decide what you're looking for.

Moises Henriques
Made his Test debut in 2013 and became the first Portuguese-born player to represent Australia in all forms of the game: T20, ODI and Test Cricket. Current captain of the NSW cricket team as well as the Big Bash franchise, the Sydney Sixers.
Moises Henriques, at age 26, became Australia's 432nd player to wear the Baggy Green when he made his Test debut against India in Chennai in February 2013.He also became the first Portuguese-born player to represent Australia in all forms of the game: T20, ODI and Test cricket.
And what a Test debut it turned to be!
Although Australia lost the match by eight wickets, Henriques finished with a batting average of 149 following a first innings knock of 68 and remaining 81 not out when Australia's second innings ended. Henriques also took 1/48 in India's first innings from 17 overs. Moises went on to play in the next two sub-continent Test matches.
He received his call up for the India tour following an excellent Australian domestic first-class season with New South Wales in 2012-2013 – with a batting average of 77 and bowling average of 18.
The following year (2014), Henriques toured South Africa with the Australian team, although he didn't figure in any of the three Test matches when Clarke's men won the series 2-0.
Shortly after returning from South Africa, Henriques won man-of-the-match honours in NSW's 2013-2014 Sheffield Shield final victory over Western Australia.
The three-times Australian Test all-rounder hit a classy 140 off 316 balls at Manuka Oval in Canberra, soaking up 399 minutes in the middle and tiring out the WA players.
His innings took the game away from the Sandgropers and set up NSW's 46th Sheffield Shield victory and its first since 2008.
Henriques' maiden one-day century was worth the wait. The Blues captain's 131 off 112 at North Sydney Oval in October 2014 piloted NSW to a fourth win from four games in the Matador Cup, and opened the door for him to make a serious bid at a place in Australia's World Cup squad.
The hosts reached the target of 294 set by Victoria with five wickets and seven balls remaining, with Henriques responding to another hundred from the Bushrangers' Cameron White to steal the show.
Henriques was so young when he first came into the New South Wales squad that he could train only in school holidays and often had to catch a taxi to practice. By the age of 18 he had already won praise from Trevor Hohns, the former national chairman of selectors, and a rookie contract with the NSW Blues.
After starring as captain of Australia's Under-19 side – he first made the team as a 16-year-old – with 16 World Cup wickets in Sri Lanka at 10.62 and 150 runs at 37.5, Henriques played his second senior game in the final of the 2005-06 ING Cup. As the Blues were heading towards the tightest of victories over South Australia, Henriques, the No. 9, refused to fluster and was unbeaten on five from 21 balls when Stuart MacGill squirted the winning run.
The next season he added another six one-day games but the highlight was playing the opening two Pura Cup matches of the Blues' campaign. In his second outing he displayed his huge potential with 5-17 from 13 overs against Queensland. Strangely, he was dropped and did not earn another first-class appearance that summer, although he struggled with a shoulder injury. A part-time stint at the Academy followed and in 2007-08 he earned a sprinkling of NSW appointments along with a grade haul of 913 runs and 39 wickets, which helped drive St George to the premiership. More confirmation of his high regard came when he was sent to Darwin as a replacement for Andrew Symonds in the national one-day team. Australia A were on tour, limiting the selectors' options, and Henriques was told he would play Bangladesh only in "exceptional circumstances", but it was a tick for a future talent.
A 187cm opening bowler, Henriques is the youngest player to collect 10 wickets in a Sydney first-grade match, and he supplements his skills with fine middle-order strokeplay. In 2009, Moises was selected for Australia for the first time and signed a two year deal with IPL club Kolkata Knight Riders.
Henriques has always been considered one of the brightest prospects on the Australian cricket scene. He has represented Australia in One Day and T20 internationals and has been a member of the NSW Blues Sheffield Shield team for the past eight seasons, including a stint as captain.
Henriques starred in the Sydney Sixers victory over the Perth Scorchers in the Big Bash League final in Perth in 2012, with a hurricane 70 off 41 deliveries that earned him man of the match.

WP 2.5 gallery won't make some thumbnails
I've added a few images to my blog using the new Media Library tool without much trouble but I'm currently seeing a strange issue. Two images that I upload do not generate mid-size or thumbnail versions.
It uploads the original and uses that image for the post. Whether I insert an image as thumbnail or with the [gallery] quickcode, I get the full size version only.
Looking at my upload folder, I see there is no mid-size or thumbnail version of these two files like there are for other images I've uploaded.
Any ideas?

I just "inherited" some ooooooold carbon steel pans from my restaurant that have seen some vastly better days. Not only are they pretty rusty, but the seasoning looks like it's flaking off in some places. Any tips on how to clean them? I want to strip off EVERYTHING and start from scratch.
Has anyone tried heating them in the oven and spraying with oven cleaner?
