Honda CB Shine SP is most striking motorcycle from the Honda stable. The motorcycle looks very identical with the company's recently offering- Honda Livo. It has raised headlight cowl that is integrated with the black visor that gives a fresh look to the motorcycle. The stunning graphics and Honda Wing's 3D emblem add visual charms to this motorcycle. The CB Shine SP gets new alloy wheels that adds more beauty in its styling. Some of its appearance featured are mentioned below:
Honda has introduced CB Shine SP with a host of dynamic technological aspects that include digital instrument console, Honda's trustworthy technology and self-start. It has so much potential in terms of power and performance. The manufacturer has blessed the motor with five speed transmission. The other technical aspect are given here:
The Shine SP is powering with the same 125cc motor that you can see on regular CB Shine 125. The engine of Shine SP has been tweaked to improve the power output and fuel economy. The Shine SP is powered by the air-cooled, single-cylinder and 124.73cc motor that delivers a maximum power of 10.57 BHP at 7500 RPM and 10.30 Nm of torque at 5500 RPM. All the power sent to the rear wheel via five speed transmission. The manufacturer has blessed the motor with Honda Eco Technology to endow dynamic performance and impressive mileage. The Shine SP will manage to deliver an expected mileage of 50-55 KMPL.
The manufacturer has built the motorcycle in well manner from each and every dimension, thanks to the manufacture for introducing longest wheelbase and higher ground clearance for the CB Shine SP.

I'm trying to make good on my intention to update this thing more often, but it's hard to be motivated to write when you're so exhausted. I'm not sure whether this is just a byproduct of a wonky sleep schedule trying to re-adapt to the 9-to-5 working world, my body being affected by winter's late but vengeful arrival, or continued lingering effects from my exhausting week in Miramichi, but the last five nights or so have fit a certain pattern:
- get home
- lie in bed and look at my phone until I nod off
- wake up (with occasional panic that I've overslept for work before realizing the time on my alarm clock is PM, which is more common now that it's dark when I normally wake up)
- cook dinner
- realize it's time I should try to get to bed, but since my nap and late dinner have thrown off my internal clock, I'm not tired, and I watch DVDs until I'm sufficiently tired again
- head to bed
- stay awake for another hour because I think too much, or have random snippets of things playing back mentally (latest offender: the Rugrats "I've Lost Control Of My Life" clip redubbed with computer voices speaking flowery language)
Based on when I wake up for work, a 10 p.m. bedtime should be the latest I turn in; it's so hard, though, because years of late nights have hard-wired my internal clock. I was making progress last month (to the point where staying up for SNL on the weekends was becoming more difficult), but I regressed hard during my two-week Christmas vacation. Now that I'm back into a normal schedule from Monday to Friday, I want to see if getting enough sleep will solve my exhaustion problem, or if I need to consider whether it has another underlying cause.
I've been thinking about my future in Halifax lately. Local activist Allison Sparling posted a blog entry about her impending move to Toronto; despite being born and raised here and fighting not only to stay in the city but make it that much better, she conceded that she too would have to join the many other young people that have fled this economically depressed region in order to build their lives. Her post nails a lot of the problems and frustrations I've experienced in this city, and the Maritimes in general. Don't get me wrong, I would love to stay here, but as Sparling notes, it takes a lot of hard work to cobble together a happy life here, to the point that you can't be present because you have to always be planning ahead. Maybe this bit of reflection comes because I need to think about my next step soon, but even if my next job is a stable, well-paying job with good benefits, I wonder what will be left of this city's vibrancy by the time I can fully enjoy it, let alone try to share a life with someone else.

It happened again! Two pictures from last week's Show Off Saturday Linky Party got the exact same high number of clicks. There were so many fun projects last week.
So in no particular order...
Val of Val's Quilting Studio lured us all to her blog with this darling story quilt that she is going to quilt this month (it's one of her goals)...
And while I was there I spied these adorable little heart blocks that she is going to teach us how to make next month (also one of her goals). I don't know about you, but I am so inspired by reading other peoples goal lists. Makes me want to make my own. Head on over to Val's Quilting Studio to see what else is on her list. :)
Dasha of Patching Pixies showed off these blocks that I love for so many reasons! First they are all such varying shades of blue. Lovely. And next I just love the scrappy feeling of them. Dasha will you tell me the pattern or tutorial you used? I just have to try this.
In this same blog post, Dasha also shows how to line up sashed blocks. Awesome. So head over to Patching Pixies to see how.
Okay, everybody... tomorrow is our next Show Off Saturday Linky Party. Have you sewn anything or have you been too distracted by our amazing 'It's a New Year Sewalong' that I wrote about Wednesday?
I have over a hundred little things to show you, can you guess what they are? Here's a hint: they have paper in the middle.
I want to see what you've been up to too, so get out your camera and take a picture. Remember, you can link to your blog, your facebook photo, flickr, instagram, whatever. And the most clicked picture will be spotlighted next Friday.
Happy Sewing!

Investigating the essential roles of Ubiquitin-like molecules and the Ubiquitin Proteasome System
The biochemical process of ubiquitylation is an efficient way to label proteins that will be targeted to degradation by the proteasome at the right time and cellular compartment, according to the cell necessities. In addition, this post-translational modification also offers to the cell the possibility to control other processes related or not to proteolytic functions. Indeed, the attachment of ubiquitin (Ub) or ubiquitin-like (UBL) molecules such as SUMO and NEDD8 does not always result in proteolysis, but can induce conformational and/or interaction changes driving a large diversity of effects. Considering the interconnectivity among Ub and UBL molecules, we end up with an extremely complex system regulating protein activity and stability. Given the implications of the ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) in many essential cellular processes, the technology required to study this system is very diverse. As part of the proposed network the latest technological developments will be used to explore chemical, biochemical, molecular, developmental and genetic aspects of the UPS. This research area has become an area of investigation by itself, very attractive for fundamental scientists as well as for the pharmaceutical industry aiming to identify potential targets for drug development to be used in many diseases where this system has been shown to be vital.
The main objective of the international training network UPStream is the training of a novel generation of European scientist in a critical and complex field of modern biology: the understanding of the regulation of the ubiquitin proteasome system and its potential use for drug development, as well as ubiquitin-like molecules.
Tagging protein substrates with Ubiquitin or Ubiquitin-like molecules is a highly dynamic and reversible process.
Ubiquitin (Ub) and ubiquitin-like molecules (UBLs) play key roles in the control of many vital cellular processes, such as cell cycle control, stress response, DNA repair, signal transduction, transcription and gene silencing [1].
The active form of ubiquitin is generated through the processing of a C-terminal hydrolase (UCH). Conjugation of Ub to a protein substrate is accomplished via a thioester cascade involving an Ub-activating enzyme (E1), an Ub-conjugating enzyme (E2) and an Ub-protein ligase (E3) (Fig 1). The result of this cascade is the formation of an isopeptide bond between the C-terminus of Ub and a lysine (Lys) in the target protein. Most of the specificity of the system derives from the high fidelity of protein-protein interactions between E3 and the substrate [1, 2]. Ub can be attached to proteins as a monomer or as polymers. PolyUb chains are formed when additional Ub molecules are attached to one of the 7 Lys residues existing in the Ub molecule (K6, K11, K27, K29, K33, K48 or K63), or in a head-to-tail manner (linear Ub chains), resulting in chain-specific functions. For example, K48 and K11 Ub chains have been associated with proteasomal degradation [1, 2].
UBLs have been reported to play a role in proteasomal degradation, SUMO-2 being shown to be able to recruit an Ub E3 ligase that can then target proteins to degradation [3, 4]. The covalent attachment of UBLs to Lys residues is biochemically similar to, but functionally distinct from, ubiquitylation. So far the best-characterised UBL systems are SUMO (SUMOylation) and NEDD8 conjugation (NEDDylation) pathways [5, 6]. Attachment of Ub, SUMO and NEDD8 molecules is a highly dynamic process, while the reverse reaction (de-ubiquitylation) is mediated by specific isopeptidases (de-conjugating enzymes), such as de-ubiquitylating enzymes (DUBs) or SUMO specific proteases (SUSPs) [7, 8] (Figure 1).
E3 ligases and DUBs, could be therapeutic targets, as they recognize a discrete subset of substrate proteins.Figure 1. Conjugation and deconjugation of ubiquitylated proteins
The proteasome
The presentation and degradation of substrates by the proteasome is a highly regulated process. Composed of a catalytic core (20S) and one or two regulatory particle(s) (19S), the 26S proteasome recognizes and drives the degradation of ubiquitylated proteins (Figure 2).Figure 2. Electron Microscopy 3D images of purified 26S proteasomes. By Krutauz D, Rosenzweig R, Dafonseca P, Morris E, Glickman MH, (unpublished)
The successful use of proteasome inhibitors for the treatment of Multiple Myelomas (MM) and Mantle Cell Lymphomas (MCL) revealed the potential of the UPS as a drug target. The importance of these findings was recognized with the attribution of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry to Irwin Rose, Avram Hershko and Aaron Ciechanover in 2004. Since then, a frenetic course for the development of drugs acting at different levels of the UPS has started.
Ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like binding domains
A growing number of Ub- and UBL-binding domains (UBDs) has been identified in the last decade. UBDs are found in members of many different protein families that link them to Ub-related processes. These motifs, of 20 to 40 amino acid residues, are highly conserved among various species. Some of the most studied UBDs include the CUE (coupling Ub to the endoplasmic reticulum), the UIM (Ub-interacting motif) and the UBA (Ub-associated) domains [9]. A significant characteristic of the UBDs is their ability to fold into an active UBL-interacting form independent of the rest of their protein. A single SUMO-interaction motif (SIM) has been reported to date and it has been associated with protein degradation although it might not be a general function for this motif [3, 4, 10].
Supervisory Board
Members: All 14 Scientists in-charge including the coordinator as chair and a representative of the Fellow Board. The Supervisory Board is the highest and final decision making body of the consortium. Each institution has one vote. Prof. Ron Hay (UNIVDUN) has the casting vote in case of a tie.

UNIMPRESSED: Romeo is not convinced by Theresa May's apology over the Windrush affair despite his status being confirmed (Photo credit: Ken Passley)
AUCKLAND ELWALDO Romeo, a man who has resided in the UK since the age of four, has been told he has the right to remain after more than 10 years of being deemed an illegal immigrant by the Home Office.
Romeo recently received a letter from the Home Office informing him that he has the right to be in the UK.
However, speaking to The Voice, he said: "I feel bitter for my people. Not for myself per se but for what my ancestors and what my generation and future generations have to go through just to be recognised."
His apparent illegal status was brought to light when he applied to renew his British passport after losing it.
But he was told by the Passport Office that he could not be issued with a new British passport as, according to them, he had never had one.
At one point Her Majesty's Passport Office warned him that his documents would be destroyed. Romeo said that after sending his identification documents to the authorities he was told that he applied too late.
In a bid to verify his status, the British resident, who for most of his life went by the name Elwaldo Romeo, changed his name by deed poll after discovering the addition of Auckland as his first name on his birth certificate. Romeo was not listed as his last name on his birth certificate.
However, just before Easter, Romeo was informed by the Home Office via a phone call that he had the right to stay.
He said: "They told me I will not be deported, I will not need to go back to the Home Office every two weeks to register and I have the right to work."
He was subsequently told that not only did he now have the right to abode, but he had always had the right to abode. "I can only be what I am. I can't pretend to be an Antiguan," he said. "I left there when I was four. I've lived here all my life," the grandfather-of- five said.
DISAPPOINTED: Theresa May
The 63-year-old said he doesn't know what his family, who he says were more emotional about the ordeal than he was, would have done if he was considered an illegal immigrant. At the time of writing, Romeo was still awaiting his new passport, but he had been fast-tracked through the application process.
Romeo was initially sceptical about sharing his experiences, but said he thought about the bigger picture. "When I thought about it and I thought this has happened to a lot of people – maybe [they're] not in the same position as me and maybe I can highlight that if it can happen to someone like me, it can happen to anybody."
He criticised Prime Minister Theresa May over her initial failure to agree to meet with leaders from Caribbean countries over the Windrush immigration fiasco and was sceptical about celebrations to mark the 70th anniversary of the Empire Windrush arrival.
"What is there to celebrate really? You've depleted a whole race of people of their...people with all their skills."
He added: "At the end of the day it's a big black cloud isn't it. The Government has created a big black cloud." Romeo said he believed that immigration authorities are motivated by targets.
"They see you as a statistic on their chart that's got to be deported. What they are doing, it's about race...it's wrong. They're picking on a particular race of people, which fundamentally they've got laws against," he added. He was also unimpressed by the Government's offer of citizenship to the Windrush generation.
"British citizenship? We've never lost it. How can you apply for something you've not lost? Because [they] want to move the goalpost doesn't mean we have to move with [them]. We are what we are."
He is undecided about where he will visit first once his new passport comes through – the wedding of a niece is on the cards, but he'd also like to revisit his birthplace of Antigua, a country he was unable to return to for his mother's funeral.
Whatever his destination of choice, Rachelle Romeo, his daughter, who spoke at a recent Windrush event organised by MP Diane Abbott, is likely to still be weary.
He said: "At this moment in time, when I sit down with my daughter she says to me: 'Dad, when you get that passport just make sure you take the passport number in case you lose it again.'
"Until I get it, her mind won't be at rest."

Museum Village and Magnificent Magnets
This week I'd like to feature another Orange County, New York favorite of mine.
Museum Village in Monroe, NY is a place I have visited since I was a very little girl. School trips, camp trips, Brownie and Girl Scout trips are all part of the happy memories I have of Museum Village. It is the place where I first discovered my life-long love of rock candy that I bought in the gift shop! Moving forward a generation, it is a place where my daughter and I spent some happy times on several occasions.
At Museum Village, visitors can shop in a 130-year-old general store, see a real Mastodon skeleton, dip a candle, step inside a 200-year-old log cabin, sit in a one-room schoolhouse, and watch a broom or coverlet being made.
Museum Village still pursues its founder's vision of educating generations of Americans about the work and life of their ancestors. Through educational programs, hands-on-exhibits and special events, Museum Village is dedicated to exploring and interpreting 19th century rural life, as well as inspiring an appreciation for the evolution of industry and technology in America. It's a local gem that is fun to visit.
These are the magnet designs that we have painted from photos they provided us that we will be featuring for sale in their museum gift shop. Magnets make a great little memento of a visit to a museum or historic site.
Do any of you have memories of Museum Village that
you would like to share? We'd love to hear about them!
|Above is Museum Village's logo that
they provided for us to make magnets.

Q. Why are some of our internal organs on one side rather than the other? Does anyone ever get an organ on the "wrong" side?
A. Organ placement is "the result of millions of years of evolution," said Dr. Jean C. Emond, chief of transplant services at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center. The organs are perfectly arranged to carry out their tasks, Dr. Emond said, including the asymmetrically arranged ones like the liver and heart.
"During very early development," he said, "the organs originate from the single row of cells in the fetus and through an elaborate choreography that is programmed in the DNA, grow and rotate and eventually reach the ideal position at birth."
In a process that is still incompletely understood, some organs result from double embryonic buds, some from a single one. The left-right asymmetry for certain organs is shared with all vertebrates. Other experts suggest that in human beings, a relatively small set of genes is responsible for sending the signals that control the asymmetry.
Because of errors in development or genetic abnormalities, Dr. Emond said, "some babies are born with abnormally formed internal organs that may be in the wrong position." Some patients require major surgical reconstruction, while others can function normally.
"A complete reversal of the internal organs can occur in a condition called situs inversus," Dr. Emond said. This is seen in some mirror-image twins.

Three-time world champion Oscar Freire is reported to be negotiating a one-year contract with four ProTeam squads including his current employers, Rabobank, with whom he has spent the last nine seasons. However, according to one report in Spain, it will be "a surprise" if Freire, who is planning to retire at the end of the 2012 season, opts to spend the last year of his career with Rabobank.
Freire's brother and agent, Antonio, has revealed that Movistar is one of the other teams interested in signing the veteran sprinter. "We would like for Oscar to ride on a Spanish team, we've always said that, and Movistar is the best Spanish team around," Antonio Freire told Biciciclismo.com. "It's an historic squad and we've got a good relationship with the managers there."
Asked about the possibility of completing a deal with Rabobank, Antonio Freire stated: "It's one option, but it's not the best from either a sporting or a financial point of view." He suggested that relations between the Freires and Rabobank have cooled and added that he expects to close a deal with his brother's new team within the next few days.
During his 14-year pro career, Freire has only spent two with a Spanish team. He turned pro in 1998 with Vitalicio Seguros and was still with them when he won the world title for the first time the following season. He then spent three seasons with Mapei before moving on to Rabobank in 2003.

Quick Update
Its been a tough week. Ash spent most of her week with eyes swollen shut, leaking bili from her them, from her nose, and into her urine. She stayed febrile most of the week. There were days she slept for 20+ hours. Its not been pretty.
Last night she started to perk up and by bed time was giggling. She wanted to "go now". As I tucked her into bed I promised if she felt good we would go tomorrow. This morning when she heard me moving around in her bedroom she opened one eye and signed "car". Yes, sweet girl I promised. Today has been her best day all week. Although she is far from feeling like herself she was better today.
The infection behind her right ear is not gone. We have an early morning appointment with her ENT to decide how to proceed. There is a swollen area of infection protruding from the bone about the size of quarter. It eerily resembles the knot we saw come up two years ago this month. I will not be at all surprised if they send us for another CT to determine if surgery should be performed sometime tomorrow. I was very, very hopeful that treating the infection would clear it up, but I haven't seen many changes in her appearance or at the sight of the infection.
Ash's liver and kidneys have taken a huge hit this past week as she battled the infection in and behind her ear. We have gone back to bilirubin levels in the mid teens and her eyes and skin tell that story. She is beginning to smell toxic once again and she is clawing at her skin too. The old transplant wound is opened up once again because of the clawing and I am back to cleaning and packing the incision.
I just wanted to give a quick update. We are grateful to see her smile return even if it is less common throughout the day. I'll take a few grins and the occasional giggle over the miserable crying and whimpering she experience for much of last week. Thank you so much for your concern, kind words, and prayers. We should have more answers in the morning.

Content or Objects: Neil Gaiman and the future of books/
"I worry that too many of us . . . are certain that if only we can get 1993 to come back again, we'll clean up. That if we hold our breath and close our eyes and guard the gates with bigger and more dangerous weapons, time will turn backwards and it will be yesterday again. And we all knew what the rules were yesterday. The rules of publishing were simple. Authors, agents, books, incredibly long lunches--that was publishing. Not any more."
Neil Gaiman is one of my favorite writers and this keynote at The Digital Minds Conference 2013 is further evidence why.
I've been an avid reader my whole life. Growing up in Puerto Rico my parents used to say that I was a "come libros," literally a book eater. The only thing I would consume more was music. You could see me with headphones from a brand new walkman or a book in hand, sometimes foolishly reading while walking. While my schoolmates grumbled at having to read Cervantes, Quijote was my hero.
Nothing has changed, I still devour books and music. Sometimes listening to music while simultaneously reading on the same device. Well, something has changed, I now have a deep understanding of what it takes to both write and produce a book.
And then there is digital. I've spent most of the past month tumbling through the wild frontier of editing, programming and packaging digital books in EPUB format. I find all of it challenging, frustrating and terribly exhilarating. I feel that to honor all those books I've read and that in many ways have consumed me, that I too have to do my part in figuring out the future of books.
Writing, creating, is a dandelion thing. When writing, make good art. When coding, make good art. Produce beautiful content in beautiful packages, make good art. Try everything.

Electronic bill paying
And the survey says...
According to the second annual "Accounting Trends Client Bill Payment Survey," 63 percent of accounting professionals support the idea of an entirely paperless bill payment process, while nearly half say they wished they could completely eliminate paper checks.
In addition, the survey exposed concerns about bill payment efficiency and security. Respondents that relied on handwritten checks or computer-printed checks often spend more time on bill payment, and 66 percent of all respondents worry that clients do not have approval controls in place for bill payment.
The survey, conducted in July and sponsored by Bill.com, includes responses from 513 accounting and bookkeeping professionals handling bill payments. They represent firms ranging from solo practitioners to ones with more than 30 employees.
Paper Checks Still in Play
Many of the accounting professionals surveyed see the value of eliminating paper checks from bill payment and moving to electronic payments. One-third said that more than 50 percent of their clients pay bills electronically (compared to 29 percent in the 2015 survey). Furthermore, 15 percent said that three-quarters or more of their clients pay bills electronically.
When asked if they support moving to a paperless bill payment environment, 40 percent said paperless bill pay would make them feel more efficient, while 20 percent said it would make them feel more organized.
Paper Disrupts Efficiency, While the Cloud Can Support It
In today's competitive and technology-driven market, many accounting professionals realize the importance of efficiency to grow their firms. Paper works against that strategy, according to survey respondents.
Twenty-one percent of the respondents that use handwritten checks spend up to 10 hours a month per client on bill payment. Additionally, 6 percent said they spend between 11 and 20 hours per month on bill payment. For computer-printed checks, 94 percent of large firms spend up to 10 hours a month per client on bill payment. A firm with 150 clients could spend 600 hours a month on bill payments.
However, 49 percent who use cloud technology indicate that it only takes between 1 to 3 hours or less per client each month to handle bill payment. Eight percent said they spend less than one hour per client each month.
When respondents reviewed features for bill payment technology, those that ranked the highest all addressed efficiency pain points. Eighty-eight percent wanted automatic, electronic audit trails; 85 percent requested syncing between systems; and 82 percent saw value in the ability for clients to view, approve and pay bills online.
Concerns Grow About Accounts Payable Paper & Fraud
It only takes one blank or stolen check to ruin a company's finances. The survey exposes a legitimate concern for the link between bill payment and fraud.
Overall, 66 percent of the respondents worry that clients do not have approval controls in place for bill payment, while 65 percent doubt that the appropriate separation of duties is in place.
The percentages spike for larger firms, with 94 percent concerned about appropriate separation of duties, and 94% worried about clients' approval controls. Likewise, a majority of respondents from larger firms (76 percent) said that paper related to A/P creates a serious risk.

A surge in fighting in Syria's Aleppo province has displaced about 50,000 people, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has warned.
The humanitarian situation is deteriorating rapidly, the ICRC added, with water supplies to Aleppo city cut.
The Syrian government is attempting to recapture rebel-held parts of the major city backed by Russian air power.
Turkey is under pressure to allow in 30,000 Syrian refugees stranded on its border.
In a statement, the ICRC said supply routes for aid had been cut, putting civilians under "enormous pressure".
"The temperatures are extremely low and, without an adequate supply of food, water and shelter, displaced people are trying to survive in very precarious conditions," said the head of the ICRC in Syria, Marianne Gasser.

How I Adore This Ingenuous and Enchanting Family!
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Source: Review Copy from Author
A Very Plain Young Man is Book Two in the Hapgoods of Bramleigh series by Christina Dudley (a Traditional Regency romance series in the style of Georgette Heyer). The series focuses on the Hapgoods, an almost impoverished gentry family living in Somerset. The family is headed by a blustery, unsophisticated squire who prefers to spend all his time with his beloved canines and an often indisposed and indolent mother. The four delightful daughters of the family are frequently left to their own devices and have very little society besides their immediate family.
Book One of this series, The Naturalist, was about Alice Hapgood (the second oldest) and how her desperate desire to study nature led her both into scandal as well as to the altar! In Book Two, we spend more time with Elfrida, the eldest and most beautiful sister in the family. While Elfrida's beauty attracts the notice of all around her, she pays it no consequence, in fact she considers being called practical the more desired compliment. Elfrida is an adorable heroine who carries a lot of responsibilities on her shoulders – she is indeed practical, forthright, and composed, all things a young lady ought, but her one flaw is her nearsightedness. Poor Elfrida can't see much detail in anything unless it is a few inches from her face. And perhaps Elfrida's shortsighted tendencies extend to her views on men and marriage… Continue reading »

Strange Brew/
I love to bake beer bread in the fall. We eat it straight out of the oven slathered in butter, and alongside homemade pea soup. The recipe I follow is really quite simple, and pretty darn nutritious, calling for whole wheat flour and old fashioned oats. Last batch, my six year old asked how it was possible to make bread without yeast (go Jasper!). The answer for this recipe is found in the beer's yeast, and a combination of baking baking powder and soda which work in concert to leaven the batter-like dough.
Beer Bread
2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup old fashioned oats
2 tbsp brown sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 12oz beer, cold and fizzy (no flat stouts)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Grease a standard loaf pan
Whisk together dry ingredients. Pour in beer, stir until just combined. Pour into pan and bake for 35 minutes.

It was a crucial Game 5 Thursday night at Minoru Arena between the Richmond Sockeyes and the Grandview Steelers. Having dropped their first two playoff games at home, the Sockeyes hoped for a different fate in front of their home crowd Thursday, looking to take a 3-2 lead in the series.
It was a better start for the Sockeyes, as they finally managed to get a lead at home when Tyler Andrews scored on the power-play. Cole MacInnes made two pad saves before Andrews got the third try up and over MacInnes for the goal.
Kurt Russell started for Richmond, coming off back-to-back shutouts, including a 3-0 victory Wednesday night. The shutout streak ended early as just after Andrews' opening goal, Tim Chow beat Russell to knot the game at one.
Daniel Oakley broke the tie five minutes into the 2nd, when he took the puck to the slot and rifled a shot far-side on MacInnes.
Sockeyes looked poised to double their lead, with multiple close calls in the Steelers crease.
It was eventually Grandview who tied it up in the 3rd when Adam Rota fed the puck in front to Austin Campeau, who one-timed an in-tight shot past Russell.
The score was only tied for a moment, as a mad scramble in front of MacInnes was poked home by Brodie Crawford, who was wearing a cage after taking a high stick in Game 2.
Sockeyes did well to shut down the Grandview offense until Troy Sutherland's deflected shot at the empty net fluttered in.
Jordan Andrews had a notably strong game defensively, while his brother Tyler looked electrifying in the offensive end for Richmond. Jacob Wozney seemed impossible to knock off the puck and Russell looked completely dialed in to this game.
The Sockeyes took this one 4-2 the final. They now have won three straight and lead the series 3-2. Game 6 goes on Sunday, with a potential Game 7 taking place Monday at Minoru.

Ellen DeGeneres was recently honored with Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor for her LGBT rights influence in the US. However, when she was on the door of the White House to attend the ceremony and meet with President Barack Obama, she was denied entry for not bringing any ID.
Ellen DeGeneres tweeted on her social media a picture of her sitting outside after being denied entry. She was one of the 21 people who was invited to the White House for the ceremony. The talk show host was joined by notable professionals and personalities including Diana Ross, Bruce Springsteen, Bill and Melinda Gates, Michael Jordan and more.
Prior to being awarded the Medal of Freedom, President Barack Obama delivered a comedic but heartfelt speech celebrating the achievements of Ellen DeGeneres, Huffington Post reports. Obama noted how DeGeneres risked her career to come out as a lesbian almost 20 years ago and described her as being kind and inspirational.
In addition to her LGBT rights influence, Obama also mentioned the positive influence of DeGeneres' comedic humor to the nation. "Ellen counters what too often divides us, with the countless things that bind us together, inspires us to be better, one joke, one dance at a time," Obama said.
Ellen DeGeneres was in tears when she received the award as the President hung the medal on her neck. The two hugged as there was a huge applause from the audience.
Before the ceremony commenced and after Ellen DeGeneres was let in the White House, she staged a social media trend called the Mannequin Challenge with a roomful of Medal of Freedom awardees and celebrities. According to Vanity Fair, the trending video which was posted has garnered thousands and likes and retweets features Ellen DeGeneres herself, Michael Jordan, Robert De Niro and Diana Ross.

There is an excellent mix of retail outlets, cafes, bars, restaurants and other services and facilities not far from the marina entrance. Our traditional shopping centre is within Church Street where many independent retails outlets are located, also the "Hat & Feathers" bar and restaurant owned by Wetherspoons.
The seafront along North Terrace is just opposite the marina where you can find a number of bars, cafes, restaurants, ice cream shops and not forgetting the popular fish & chips bar & takeaway.
Byron Place shopping centre is within 200 metres of the marina entrance. It was named after the famous poet Lord Byron, who married at Seaham Hall in 1815. Shop opening times are generally 9am to 6pm with extended opening hours to 10pm for Asda store. Sunday openings are 10am to 4pm.

Local amenities
Welcome to
Seaham Harbour Marina
St Mary the Virgin church looking from the south east
There is a variety of things to do and see along Seaham's coastline, all within walking distance of the marina. Whether your preference is visiting the busy pubs, cafes and restaurants or just going for a sightseeing stroll then we will have something that suits you. To the north of the marina we have the sea front bars, cafes and restaurants, recreational beaches, a Grade 1 listed Anglo Saxon church and the "2013 best hotel awards" five star Seaham Hall hotel. To the south you can enjoy a more peaceful walk along one of the best examples of natural coastline to absorb fabulous stretches of the award winning Durham Heritage Coast.
Local bars, cafes & restaurants
Main entrance of Seaham Hall
Seaham Hall is located very near to St Mary's church. Built in 1792 it has a very unusal varied history. Lord Byron married here in 1815 and in the 1920s it was used as a secret establishment for bottling whisky which much of it ended up in the hands of Al Capone during the US Prohibition period.
St Mary the Virgin church is located half a mile north of the marina entrance. This church is only one of 20 like it in the country, a Grade 1 listed building recognized by part of its designs going back to Anglo Saxon times through to the Norman era (c 550 to 1066).

your name, name of store, year opened
Jena Coray, Modishoppe- April 2007
-tell us a bit about your shop and inspiration to open
It's a little e-boutique that carries all handmade goods made by some of my favorite indie artists and designers. After writing Modish for year and discovering so many wonderful, talented people plus the urge to get out of my office day job and create a full time job doing what I love, I thought a consignment store would be a great idea! I'm not full time yet, but I think it'll be feasible soon!
-what item is currently on your covet list?
Oh my goodness, almost everything I carry- I only choose things that I personally really love or would purchase myself. I especially like the journals from five and a half because they're beautiful and completely tree free, and all of the queenthings jewelry (tho most of it is sold out now!) is so simple and gorgeous!
-what item could you not resist buying for yourself?
I bought this cuckoo clock tee by Nooworks before the shoppe even opened which is one of the reasons I asked them to be part of the shoppe, but since it's opened, I've been really good- I've gotten stuff for family and friends, but haven't bought anything for myself. It's only been a month a half though, I'm sure that will change soon. :)
-who is your personal "it" designer right now?
From my shoppe, I have to say queenthings jewelry (by Jenny Vorwaller) because it's simple yet beautiful, antique mixed with contemporary and has a storybook feel to it- and it sold rather fast so it seems she's the "it" girl on the site at the moment!
-what is your recommendation for designers who want to be carried in your store?
I look for items that are unique and original, that appeal to me personally and especially love goods that re-use vintage elements in new ways. I want to find items that are unlike anything I currently carry, and love exclusive designs that are special just to modishoppe.
- what trends are you currently seeing in independent design and how does that impact your buying decisions.
It seems like it's okay for things to be simply "pretty" again- fashion, jewelry, bags, cards, everything seems to be moving towards more feminine, girly, floral designs with embroidery, lace, prints, etc. Things are not as graphic or "modern" as they were a couple years ago. I also think a big trend that's been here for awhile and should continue is the vintage one and using vintage goods in a contemporary way- it creates one-of-a-kind wares and is better for our earth! A plus on both sides!
Jena Coray, owner/buyer Modishoppe , www.modishoppe.com
This is an extra congrats to Jena, Modish is one of my daily reads and I've been on the sidelines cheering for her shop dream for a while now...and what a fab shop it is!!

I am a PhD candidate at the Amsterdam Institute for Social Science Research (AISSR) and affiliated with the program group Institutions, Inequalities and Life courses (IIL). My research interests include family sociology, life course research, young adulthood, and quantitative data anlysis.
In my PhD project, I study heterogeneity in leaving home. I do this at different levels of analysis using advanced quantitative methods. In my first paper, I study how early home leaving among young adults from non-intact families could be explained. For this paper, I use longitudinal data from the German Socio-Economic (SOEP). In my second paper, I also use data from SOEP to study the link between leaving and returning home with an innovative measure for off-time transitions. In my third paper, I examine the effects of study finance changes in the Netherlands on leaving the parental home and study enrolment. This paper uses register data of Statistics Netherlands. In my fourth paper, I use ESS data in a pseudo-panel design to explain cross-national differences in leaving the parental home.
My PhD project is supervised by Prof. Dr. Matthijs Kalmijn and Dr. Thomas Leopold.
I hold a Bachelor in Liberal Arts and Sciences, major: Social Sciences (University College Utrecht) and a Research Master's degree in Social Sciences (University of Amsterdam).

Laissez-Faire Hair at Its Finest: Caroline de Maigret, Lou Doillon, and More at Paris Fashion Week
It's only fitting that artfully mussed, second-day hair should ring in Paris Fashion Week both on and off the runways. Spotted en route to Anthony Vaccarello, Caroline de Maigret's windswept flyaways might as well have been the inspiration for the show's wispy, slept-in waves. Sitting front row was Givenchy muse and singer Lou Doillon, whose breezy, textured layers and eyelash-grazing fringe had us wondering if she's been trading beauty tips with her sister, Charlotte Gainsbourg—to say nothing of her grown-out Indian-summer ombré that radiated the same unfussy French-girl appeal. Over at Jacquemus, Parisienne-about-town Jeanne Damas lived up to her name as France's answer to Alexa Chung with wine-stained lips and short kid bangs that looked like she had snipped them herself. Here, a look at laissez-faire hair at its finest.

Trevor Weeks MBE started rescuing wildlife after he found it difficult to find help and support for sick and injured wildlife casualties, and seeing the pain and suffering they experienced as a result. WRAS is here to help relieve that suffering. Sometimes this unfortunately means some casualties have to be put to sleep but others go on to be released back to the wild.
Every year WRAS received 2 - 3,000 calls for help and advice most of these require an on-site call-out by a WRAS ambulance.
If you have been considerate enough to call out WRAS, you should have been given a "Thank you for caring" leaflet with a casualty reference number on it. Please ring our non-emergency number on 01825 873003 between 10am and 4pm if you would like an update on how the casualty is doing. Please give us 48 hours before calling so we have time to work on the casualty and give any medication given a chance to work and start showing results.Follow us!

5 Steps for Retooling in the New Job Market
I'm not sure if we should call it the "new" job market or the reduced, redefined, elusive job market. Too many people who have worked for years with relevant skills and valuable experience now can't find employment where once their talents were in demand. r

Points of you
Points of You
is a visual tool for coaching and personal development, using photo cards, questions and simple words as ways to connect a person to her potential, needs, values and dreams.
The aim of Coaching Cards is to expand client's view on his life's issue by seeing it from different perspectives.
By changing points of view, the client may become aware of his full potential, define what success means to him and create opportunities to get there. Working with photos helps reduce the gap between one's ongoing life and the life he would like to live.
Coaching Cards offer a set of new, inspiring insights coming through internal research, unexpected discoveries and personal engagement. The coach's role is to help the client translate insights into commitments, agenda and specific actions.
Photos are a powerful tool triggering important connotations from our inner world to consciousness. Every photo has a different meaning to every person. Used in context of a client's issue, the photo cards lead to meaningful insights. The Coaching game can be used as a perfect tool for increasing the quality of communication.
The coach can invite the client to choose questions to ask himself, choose a word from a set of powerful words or make a photo album and give it a title... The Coaching Cards may be used in many different ways depending on clients' needs.
A Points of You session always finishes by planning specific actions with client's full commitment.

6 Ways to Naturally Prevent and Get Rid of Fleas on Dogs
FROM http://everydayroots.com/flea-remedies
1. Flea collar
A flea collar is a great way to ward off fleas without always having to reapply something topically, and it keeps the flea control constant and steady.
You will need…
-3-5 drops of
cedar oil or lavender oil
- 1-3 tablespoons of water
-Bandana OR your dog's collar
-an eyedropper (optional)
Dilute 2-3 drops of your chosen oil in 1-3 tablespoons of water. Some people use the oil undiluted, but I personally feel it should always be diluted, even if it's only by a little. Next, pick out a bandana to be the flea collar-I think a bandana is preferable because you can take it on and off and your dog's collar won't smell. It's always fun to get creative with patterns and colors here. If you go up to ½ teaspoon you can use up to 5 drops of the liquid. Using an eyedropper or other similar means, apply 5-10 drops of the mixture to the bandana and rub the sides of the fabric together, and then tie it about your dog's neck in a snazzy way. Reapply oil mixture to the collar once a week. In conjunction with this, 1 or 2 drops of oil diluted with at least 1 tablespoon of olive oil can be placed at the base of your dog's tail.
2. Flea deterring drink-
can be used alongside any of these remedies.
You will need…
-1 teaspoon white distilled vinegar or apple cider vinegar
For every 40 pound dog add 1 teaspoon of white distilled vinegar or apple cider vinegar to 1 quart of their drinking water. We highly recommend using
Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar
. Not only does it deter fleas, it improves a pups skin and coat condition from the inside-out.
3. Flea comb
This contains lemon and lemon contains something called limonene, which is a chemical that kills and repels fleas but is harmless to us or our pets
You will need…
-1 freshly sliced up lemon
-1 pot of fresh water
-a comb, sponge, or brush
Boil a pot of water and add the slices of a freshly cut lemon to it. Turn off the heat after the lemons has been added and cover the pot, letting the mixture steep overnight. The next day dip a comb or your pets brush in the liquid (make sure it's sufficiently cool) and run it through their hair. A sponge works as well, especially if you have a very short haired breed. A quick version is to bring water to a vigorous boil and then pour over a freshly sliced lemon. Then just dip the comb, let it cool, and use as above.
4. Flea spray
As a bonus, your pup will get a nice gleaming finish to their coat after using this flea spray.
You will need…
-1 cup white distilled vinegar OR 1 cup apple cider vinegar OR a 50/50 blend of both
-1 quart fresh water
-2-3 drops of lavender or cedar oil
-a decent sized spray bottle
The essential oil isn't vital, but it certainly gives the spray an extra edge (and a nice smell.) If you're using it, add 2-3 drops as you add 1 cup of white distilled vinegar/apple cider vinegar/both to 1 quart of fresh water. Fill your spray bottle, and mist your dog, being careful not to get it in their eyes, nose, or ears-aka avoid spraying near the face. To get up around the neck and behind the ears/their chin area, dampen a soft cloth with the mixture and wipe it on. Spray your pets bedding and around it with this mixture lightly as well.
5. Flea (be-gone) bag
This little sachet contains things that smell pleasant to us, but that drive pests away from your pet.
You will need…
-Two 6 inch squares of breathable fabric (such as muslin)
-a rough handful of cedar chips
-1-2 teaspoons of dried lavender buds
-the peel of 1 lemon
Follow the instructions on how to make a sachet
if you need more detail. Cut 2 6 inch squares of fabric and place them together inside out. Sew all but 1 side and turn inside out. Fill with a rough handful of fragrant cedar chips, 1-2 teaspoons of lavender, and 1 lemon peel. Leave enough room at the top so you can tie it off with a ribbon or sew it shut (tying allows you to reuse it when the contents lose their potency.) Place under your pets bed/bedding or near it to ward off fleas. Change the mixture every month or so.
6. Flea bath-
wash your pup with this weekly to deter fleas.
You will need…
-A half a cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice*
-1 ½ – 2 cups of fresh water
-1/4 –1/2 cup of mild pet-friendly soap or shampoo
Stir together a half a cup of lemon juice, 1 ½ cups of water, and ¼ cup of mild pet-friendly shampoo or soap. Bottle and label and bathe weekly to keep fleas away.
*amounts will vary depending on the size of your dog. As a general rule of thumb, use 2 parts water to every ½ cup of soap and lemon juice.

Ear Hematoma in Dogs
One of my Scotties recently had to have a hematoma removed from her ear. I had never heard of this problem in dogs and didn't realize how serious it can be. Poor baby had to have surgery and it looks like her ear will not be able to stand up again. My Vet says this is a fairly common problem.
I will post some pics and medical info. The earlier it is caught the simpler the surgery.
An ear hematoma is a pocket of blood that forms within the exterior portion of a pet's ear flap. Although both dogs and cats can suffer ear hematomas, the condition is much more common in dogs.
Ear hematomas are usually caused by some kind of self-trauma — such as when a pet aggressively scratches at the ears or shakes his or her head, causing the ear flaps to slap against the skull. This trauma can cause blood to leave the vessels and pool in a pocket between the skin and cartilage components that make up the outer part of the ear flap.
Treatments range from draining the hematoma with a needle, to surgical correction of the problem.
Surgical repair is often considered the most effective treatment for ear hematomas. While under anesthesia, an incision is made along the length of the hematoma on the inner surface of the ear. After the fluid and blood clots are removed, the inner surface of the ear is tacked down to the outer surface of the ear with sutures. You can see this result in picture at left.
The most common cause of an ear
in dogs is an ear infection or other irritation within the ear. Ear infections cause irritation to the ear, resulting in shaking of the head which in turn causes the development of the hematoma. I also read that a trauma or even flea infestation can be an underlying cause.

6 Bones and Chews Dogs Should Avoid
If there's anything that galls my clients, it's being told they could have prevented a painful and expensive condition - if only they'd been told to stay away from A, B or C hazard. Such is the case when it comes to the use of common chews and devices designed for dental cleaning or as an outlet for natural chewing behaviors in dogs.
Yet when I inform my dog-owning clients that certain "dental health" products can lead to serious problems, many can't easily accept the notion that dental fractures, gastrointestinal obstruction and gastroenteritis (among other problems) are possible outcomes. After all, they say, how could anything sold expressly to help improve our pets' dental health and behavior so adversely affect them?
5 Most Intelligent Dog Breeds
The Truth Behind the Marketing Hype
Yet it's true. Some of the most commonly marketed "oral health improvement" items are considered unsafe, unwholesome and/or downright unhelpful by board-certified veterinary dentists (and plenty of run-of-the-mill vets like me, too).
But here's the thing: While many dogs won't experience safety issues with the goods veterinary dentists suggest you should eschew, as they say, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Which is why
say you should steer clear of the following six "dental health" products:
1. Rawhides.
I used to have a
who would swallow these whole, only to turn blue in the process of regurgitating them. Now, you might well ask why I'd give her the second rawhide after watching her do such a thing, but in my defense, I was trying to see whether different sizes might actually get chewed properly. No such luck. To my credit, I always watched carefully just in case a tracheotomy might be in order.
Honestly, though, some dogs tolerate these just fine. And they
be good for the teeth once they become soft and yielding. Just be sure that a) he actually chews it (otherwise, it's not only useless but also a potential gastrointestinal obstruction), b) you know how many calories you're offering when you give him that ginormous one you hope will keep him busy all day, and c) you never leave him unsupervised with it.
2. Dried Pig Ears.
Now, these aren't strictly off limits. As with rawhides, however, they can be swallowed whole by some dogs. And these fatty morsels
have far more calories than you'd expect. Moreover, some fat-sensitive dogs can be prodded into pancreatitis by consuming one. Overall, it's perhaps not the best idea.
3. Antlers.
I have one patient who not only fractured a tooth, but she also developed a terrible fungal infection at her gumline after eating one. All in all, it was a very strange situation. The good news, however, is that most dogs seem to enjoy these chews, and most do not fracture their teeth while chewing them (much less develop fungal infections). Still, I say you should beware.
4. Cooked Bones.
Though there's a lively debate when it comes to whether it's safe or not to feed raw, meaty bones, there's none on the subject of cooked bones. These hard-as-a-rock, splinter-prone bones aren't good for the teeth
the GI tract.
5. Rocks and 6. Cow Hooves.
As with cooked bones and antlers, rocks and cow hooves are generally considered a bad idea for pets. Not only do numbers 3 through 6 increase their risk of a tooth fracture and foreign body ingestion, they also don't do much to improve their dental health, either.
After all, says Dr. Jan Bellows, board-certified veterinary dentist and owner of Hometown Animal Hospital in Weston, Fla., products that offer hard, unyielding surfaces are unlikely to offer much help against tartar buildup and gum disease. He urges pet owners to "make sure that whatever they use bends and allows teeth to sink in."
What the Dentists Recommend
But none of this should lead pet owners to assume that
chews and treats are a no-no. Dr. Bellows recommends that pet owners head on over to
where the Veterinary Oral Health Council offers a seal of approval to dental products deemed effective against periodontal disease in pets. Still, it's important to be cautious, he says.
Dr. John Huff, board-certified veterinary dentist at Alameda East Animal Hospital in Denver, Colo., agrees. Here's what he says when it comes to assessing the safety and efficacy of dental chews and tartar-control products: "Though I have found all the VOHC products to be safe and effective, [VOHC] does not test for safety."
Moreover, he urges pet owners to keep things in perspective: "'Effective' is relative. If brushing is a hundred [percent], treats and chews are probably a one." He adds, "The positives on the VOHC-approved dental products are [that] they are better than nothing."
Which, I'm afraid, can't be said for numbers 1 through 6 above. Proceed to feed any of the above at your pets' peril. And whatever you do, don't skip that nightly brushing your veterinarian recommends.

Feed cats and dogs fresh produce, and they will reap the health benefits
By Shawn Messonnier, D.V.M
I believe fresh organic food contributes to improved health in my patients. There are many foods that are easy to grow, appeal to most pets, and provide health
Fruits and vegetables are generally low in calories, which means they make great treats for pets on a diet. As for how much to feed a pet, I don't suggest a particular amount, as long as the vegetables or fruits make up no more than 20 to 25 percent of a dog's diet (if you are feeding a processed natural food) or 40 to 50 percent of a natural homemade diet.
Most dogs like carrots, either whole or cut into pieces. The tops of carrots can be fed whole to pet rabbits and rodents, or chopped fine and used as a topping on dog food.
Many owners give their dogs varieties of green or string beans. Bean pods (including the seeds) can be used whole or cut into small pieces.
Broccoli is one of my favorite recommendations to pet owners, especially for pets with disorders of the immune system, including cancer.
Dark leafy greens.
Any dark green leafy vegetable is good for pets. Some dogs will eat the greens after they are cooked.
Dark-colored berries.
I think of fruit as more of a dessert than a main ingredient; therefore I recommend no more than 10 to 15 percent of the diet contain healthy organic berries
Foods to Avoid
While most pets can eat pretty much anything you grow, there are some things to avoid due to potential toxicity. Cats and small dogs are sensitive to some of the chemicals in onions and garlic, as these foods can cause red blood cell damage leading to anemia. All pets should avoid onions. Garlic has many health benefits (antibacterial, anti-blood clotting, immune system support), and I like my patients to have small amounts if their owners desire. I recommend one small clove per 10 to 25 pounds of body weight per day. Regular blood testing (every 3 to 6 months) can detect anemia, wh
ich is unlikely at this dosage. Grapes and raisins can cause kidney failure in dogs and should be avoided.

I belong to a Facebook animal rescue group which has done some pretty decent saving of animals in NYS. A member of the group posted the vegan anthem that if you eat meat don't call yourself an animal lover.. A good dose of shaming for dessert. I was reading the comments fully preparing to stay out of it. Then the poster brought in PETA. My hands were not duct taped together so, I commented about the mission statement of PETA which is attempting to promote veganism world wide along with other rather hidden agendas. When the woman I was talking to refused to accept my point I quit commenting and moved on.
This morning I find this in my email inbox. Not from the person with whom I was speaking.
Sharon Wells, one question please, you responded back above to Lynn, " ... it appears you don't respect my choice to eat meat that I buy direct from local grass fed farms here in Oneida County. There are methods to avoid the inhumanity of factory farming and sill choose to eat meat and animal products like milk and eggs." ... I noticed you used the word "choice" and "choose" ... and I know I just posted earlier to this page No Judging and No Guiltily ... but I seriously, when you say YOUR choice, let me ask you this ... what about the choice about the farm animals? Do they have a choice? Of course not, but if they did, I'm very sure they would choose to live their life out to old age and die of natural causes over being a meal on someone plate. There are most people here that don't care and are going to continue eating meat regardless. Continue to eat meat then if you want. It's everyone's "choice", it's just a shame that animals, yes even the farm animals don't have one. Yes they are all animals. Dogs, cats, etc. But most of us here hate when those people we are so against say "it's just a dog". What makes a farm animal so different. Is it not a LIFE? Again.... my point here in addressing this, when someone here is going to say "don't take away my choice to eat meat" ... when even more so YOU are responsible for taking away THEIR choice to live". I don't care in what manner, good or bad, bottom line is they are killed for your meal. Yes, it's an oxymoron. Support one or two but not all. Makes no sense to me. Go tell a trophy hunter that they are wrong because it's wrong when it's self gratification for them ... but eat meat because it's self gratification for you but that's okay.
This was my response to her.
You directed a comment to me that I wouldn't have addressed but decided to since it did include an attempt at guilt tripping me. I will only say this to you. My husband has Crohn's Disease. He has had 1 surgery to clear scar tissue that caused an intestinal blockage and any other surgeries he may have to have in the future will include the possibility of a lifetime with an ostomy bag attached to collect the wastes from his body. We eat meat so he can stay alive without risking more surgery or anemia since he needs an iron source that is easily absorbed. I am grateful to the animals that give their lives so that my husband can continue to live. Do not ever again attempt to guilt trip me into defending my choices.
She called that a threat and claimed she wasn't trying to shame me in her comment. Since it was addressed to me, who was she trying to shame?

After Wal-Mart closed five stores and explained that the action was due to plumbing problems, speculation began that the closings were done in retaliation for a history of labor activism at one of the locations. The location in Pico Rivera, California was the site of the first U.S. strike at a Walmart store, and some employees feel the company was targeting employees who spoke out against Walmart's labor practices. Workers at this location have been some of the most active in trying to improve working conditions and the Fight for $15 campaign. The United Food and Commercial Workers International Union filed a claim with the National Labor Relations Board that Walmart's recent store closings were done in retaliation.
