Cutting people from your life, especially those close to you is hard. There's no going around it. It sucks, and none of us actually wants to do it, but for your own sanity and your own mental health, sometimes it just has to be done. Lately, I've just learned to distance myself from those around me that have (in my opinion) questionable morals and toxic mindsets. Of course, we should be there for others and support those we love, but when it starts to affect your own mental health, it's time to consider that maybe that cord just needs to be cut, or at least distanced as much as possible.
I just went through this really recently, and that's what inspired this post. I was made to feel so guilty. I was made to feel like I was a terrible friend time and time again (with this specific person) whenever I pulled away. But, I was always finding that my anxiety would be heightened, and I'd always feel on edge. We couldn't have a disagreement with vulgarity and anger from that side of the conversation instead of discussing a disagreement calmly and respectfully like two adults, and that's just not okay. I don't need to be on edge wondering when I'll be verbally attacked.
I would dodge phone calls and not want to respond to text messages because I just couldn't take anymore. And then, I would be labeled a terrible friend, and I'm not. But, what a lot of people need to realize is that only we can save ourselves. I can't continuously hear how terrible someone's life is and how awful the cheating in their relationship is and how much they hate their job. When that's all we talk about, I don't want to talk anymore. I don't want to hear it because every time I try to help, offer suggestions, or advice I get shut down. Yes, it's perfectly fine to vent to friends and look for support and that boost when you need it! But, the problem I have is consistently listening to the same thing EVERY SINGLE DAY and that person doing absolutely nothing to change their situation.
Getting cheated on? Find your confidence and strength to leave! If you love that person or don't have the strength to leave (which unfortunately happens often), then stay and find your peace with what's happening. Hate your job with a passion? Put out applications and find something else! Feeling depressed and miserable? Find a professional to speak with and work hard with that professional to improve your mindset and your life. JUST DO SOMETHING! TRY! I'm not saying it's easy, but I've been there, and I know that it's possible. Nobody saved me. Nobody pulled me from my anxiety and depression because they can't. I had to help myself. I am so grateful for those that supported me and helped out where they could, but the rest was on me, and I learned that along the way.
I have the patience, compassion, and time to help you, guide you, and support you. I do not have the patience, compassion, and time for your pity party. I have worked too damn hard over the past nine months to boost my confidence, my attitude, and energy, and my mindset to be brought back down by someone else's negativity. I have to focus on myself because I'm at a point in my life where I'm trying to be the best I can regarding employment, family, friends, and my relationship, and now I'm working extra hard to make sure I'm the best mom I can be. Priorities change and people grow at different speeds. Sometimes that means that those around you need to be left behind. Sometimes those around you need to save themselves.
I wanted to write this post because of the guilt I was made to feel, and I don't want any of you to feel that way because of people in your lives. You're not being selfish. You're protecting your energy and your mind, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. You're loving yourself first, and that's such an important thing to do. You must take care of you before you can take care of anyone else.

Family Portrait
It isn't often I have the opportunity to photograph a sow and cub at the same time. I had the opportunity to watch this sow catch salmon to feed her little one, then watched as they simply relaxed after a nice meal. This was an unbelievable experience for me!

Buyers guide on choosing the best camera for your photography needs
Introduction to cameras and accessories
Cameras have almost become a must have item in today's world. For those who cannot afford digital cameras, at least they have smartphones which come with good cameras although some of them cannot match the quality of a digital camera. Cameras are essential when it comes to capturing images and recording moments for memory purposes. It is therefore important to invest some time in researching about them so that you can have enough knowledge when it comes to purchasing one at one point in life.
Cameras come with accessories which make the whole experience of using them a bit easier so when it comes to getting a camera, do not forget the fact that you will need some accessories if you are looking to have an easy time with your newly acquired gadget. Buying guides by various sites such as keuze helper can prove to be quite useful when it comes to offering insights on the various camera brands and the best choices you can make when it comes to purchasing a camera as well as its accessories especially in this year 2018.
When it comes to camera accessories, most of them come with the camera during the time of purchase. Some of these during purchase accessories include USB cables, lens cap and a hand strap. These are some of the most basic accessories and when it comes to others such as tripod stands and sensor cleaners it all depends with how important you need them in your photographic and video recording adventures and for these you get to buy them separately and not necessarily on the day of camera purchase, but it all depends with exactly what you need and when you need it.
As highlighted in the keuze helper and other buyer guides sites, we shall look at various types of cameras that you are likely to find in the market so that you get to know how they work and their features so that when buying one you make an informed decision.
Various types of cameras to choose from that are available in the markets
- DSLR camera: these cameras which are also known to as digital SLR cameras are the best if you looking forward to a more professional experience that also gives you the best quality of pictures. These cameras come at a price and as expensive as they are, they are worth every penny when it comes to flexibility and the kind of control you get to experience with the camera. You get to change lenses that please you and you are in control of other aspects such as shutter speeds and ISO levels. The interchangeable lenses should be able to work with the type of camera you have so do not just go buying any available interchangeable camera lenses. They are also a good choice when working in poorly lit areas by integrating an external flash which works with the cameras menu to offer the perfect illumination of the area of photography. If professionalism is your thing go for them although you will experience bulkiness when it comes to carrying it around. Also, buying it may leave a dent in your pocket because they are a bit costly compared to other types of cameras although they are worth every cent spent on them when it comes to professionalism, control and quality.
- Water proof cameras: as the name suggests, this is a type of a compact camera that is useful when it comes to capturing outdoor activities and images be it anywhere that is wet because they have both waterproof and dustproof features that make them the right choice to go for. It can be quite tricky when it comes to carrying a camera to the beach or anywhere that is water prone such as waterfalls, and that is where this type of camera comes in. If you are also into activities such as snorkeling and scuba diving, this is the camera to be in possession of because it will not disappoint you when it comes to capturing moments in those water prone environments. The only let down when it comes to these types of cameras is that they have a limited zoom capacity.
- Compact cameras: these are the typical point and shoot cameras which do not occupy too much of your space and can therefore be comfortably carried in your pants pockets or small bags for that matter. The fact that they are light and portable and at the same time with the ability to take some beautiful pictures makes them a good choice for those not looking for professional photography activities which require DSLR cameras. They are however a better choice compared to smart phone cameras.
- Compact system camera: these cameras have the possibility of interchanging lenses and are commonly referred to as Mirrorless cameras. They are slightly advanced compared to the DSLR cameras only that they do not have the capability of having many lenses compared to the former. They are however lighter compared to DSLR's making them less bulky and easy to carry around. They are good at video recording and fast at shutter and autofocus speed. Buyer guides review sites such as keuze helper have highlighted all the necessary information you may need regarding these cameras and you also get to know the various referrals you can get such cameras from at quality features and prices.
- Bridge cameras: these types of cameras come in between DSLR's and compact system cameras. They are not advanced but they have excellent zooming capabilities which do not require them to be changed the lenses to capture the perfect image. They came at affordable prices and their manual controls are quite familiar and friendly to operate. It is a perfect choice for beginners in photography who want an all rounded camera for their newly discovered hobby. The letdown for these cameras is that they have no interchangeable lenses.

Located in a picturesque valley in the rugged Cederberg range, is the Kromrivier (Crooked River). The Nieuwoudt family have owned this farm for several generations and started creating camping and small cabins for the hardier campers and hikers from as long ago as the early 1900's. The Nieuwoudt name occupies pride of place in the Cederberg region, where these pioneering families tried to tame the land. Wherever you go, the Nieuwoudt name pops up and it's no surprise that even the newest generation of Nieuwoudts are coming up with modern pioneering farming methods and concepts. Today, the main driving force is tourism and the Nieuwoudts understand it very well.
Take the back road through Algeria
The Kromrivier farm has sheep, goats, horses, poultry, vines, camping, cottages, a resaurant and more recently a micro-brewery. When approaching the Kromrivier farm from the north, the long gravel road from Clanwilliam traces a dusty and bumpy route through the beautiful Algeria valley, then up the Uitkyk Pass and from there it heads south for many kilometres along a high altiude plateau of pristine mountain fynbos and crystal clear streams, with the towering 2027m high Sneeuberg keeping a silent vigil on the right.
Before reaching Kromrivier the road bisects the Dwarsrivier farm, which lays claim to having the highest altitude vineyards in South Africa and where winemaker, Dawid Nieuwoudt, brings to life their award winning Shiraz wines, which can be sampled in their ultra modern and stylish tasting room. This farm also provides access to some of the best known rock formations like the Maltese Cross, the Wolfberg Cracks and Arch and of course a mid-winter visit to the observatory on the farm, to gaze at the stars in those clear night skies, is a must for the whole family (but dress very warmly!)
Just a few kilometres south of the Dwarsrivier farm, the road reaches a triangulated intersection. If you keep right you will drive over the Kromrivier Pass. Whilst the climb up to the summit is fairly mild, it is the descent down the flank of a very steep gorge, which gets passengers hearts thumping, as here the road narrows and clings precariously to the mountainside with near vertical drop-offs on the right. Wide views over the valley can be enjoyed and a birds eye view of the Kromrivier farm is on display like an artist's palette.
Although the pass' statistics are nothing spectacular, it is the rugged terrain and severity of this pass, which makes it a treat to drive. We refilmed this pass during June 2018 on a cold, blustery day and invite you to cyber drive it with us today. Even better, go there yourself and sample the ample plates of farm-fresh food and excellent craft beer as well as Cederberg wines in their new restaurant, which besides a huge fire-place, sports a leiwater canal running right through the restaurant under a glass panelled floorboard. Or book in to to one of their modern chalets, three of which have just been completed and more are under construction. Breathe in the pure mountain air and forget about city stresses.
New passes added this week:
Sudwalaskraal Pass - A southern extension of the bigger Sudwala Pass on the R539 offering sweeping curves and fabulous Lowveld scenery.
Upgraded passes added this week:
Bothasnek Pass - A big tarred pass on the R38 between Barberton and Badplaas in Mpumalanga

text: RedRamage 125 Posted July 6, 2017 Obviously this is just my amateur opinion here... just a thought I had while watching the game last night and wondering others thoughts: Bonderman often seemed to go really well for a while and then something would happen: bad call on a ball/strike... miss-play in the field... a lucky hit that landed in just the right spot to avoid defenders... just a little something and he'd just sort of mentally lose it and fall apart. That appears to be the same thing that Norris is going through. He'd got great stuff and he knows how to pitch. He looked fantastic last night for the first two innings, then "something" happened and it started to fall apart... a bunt that should have been an out... a wild pitch, a borderline call that went against him that was followed up by a run scoring hit. I hope that Norris can work through this because the Tigers really need him to be a front of the order guy for the coming years and he clearly has the stuff to do it. But he needs to get through the mental issues that are blocking him right now. Further discussion: What do you think would be better for Norris? To remain up here in the Majors or send the rest of the season in the Minors? On one hand you could say spending time in the minor would help his confidence if he pitches well there. And if he's mostly dealing with mental issues that might be just the thing he needs. But on the other hand, I think it was Craig Monroe during last nights game who said that a stint in the minors isn't going to help him because he needs to learn how to pitch against guys who won't chase bad pitches or who will wait for the pitch they want to see.

Henry Madison Morris (1913-2006), founder of ICR.
Recently we had the privilege and blessing to visit and tour the Institute for Creation Research (ICR) facilities. They just recently moved from Santee, California, and are now completely based out of Dallas, Texas. We were very honored to speak to Dr. John Morris for a few minutes while at ICR. They own a whole block's worth of buildings which they are using for many different things. We are very thankful for the ministry of ICR and Henry Morris, and we pray that the Lord will enable them to continue to do this important work for many more years to come.

A Timeline Of Craig Spencer's Wednesday In New York Before His Ebola Diagnosis
On Thursday, New York City saw its first Ebola patient. Craig Spencer, a Doctors Without Borders worker who had recently returned from Guinea, tested positive for Ebola in New York City's Bellevue Hospital. While he undergoes treatment there, officials are using Spencer's credit card and MetroCard to retrace his steps. According to authorities, Spencer had only come in close contact with only four people since he arrived in New York a week ago. However, as the timeline of Spencer's activities suggest, he may have come in contact with a whole lot more.
Spencer, who is a staff physician at New York Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center, started becoming symptomatic on Thursday, experiencing abdominal pain, nausea, fatigue, and a 100.3-degree fever. The 33-year-old doctor, who had recalled feeling sluggish in the days prior, was immediately transported from his Harlem home to Bellevue. The NYC hospital is one of eight in the state that are fully prepared to handle Ebola patients.
Mayor Bill de Blasio issued a statement on Thursday, reassuring New Yorkers that they had no reason to be worried. He told a news conference at the hospital:
We have been preparing for months for the threat posed by Ebola. We have clear and strong protocols, which are being scrupulously followed and were followed in this instance.
Dr. Mary Travis Bassett, the city's health commissioner, also tried to be reassuring, telling the press conference:
He was being mindful about contact with people.... Our impression is that he spent most of his time inside his apartment.
After Spencer reportedly took his temperature every day and attempted to self-isolate, he must have prematurely concluded that he was Ebola-free. The sheer number of places Spencer visited, many of which were crowded public spaces — this is New York City after all — and the mileage he covered are a little alarming, although the city of New York insists he couldn't have been contagious at that point. Here's a full timeline.
Friday, October 17
Spencer arrives at New York's JFK Airport after leaving Guinea on October 14 and traveling through Europe for a few days.
Wednesday, October 22
During the day Wednesday, Spencer went on a three-mile run. He also took the A line subway and visited the High Line park that spans 1.45 miles along Manhattan's West side. All that jogging and walking probably worked up his appetite; he decided to eat at The Meatball Shop restaurant in Manhattan.
In the evening, he hopped on the L line subway and went across the East River into Williamsburg, where he joined friends for bowling at The Gutter. At the end of the night, he took an Uber car home. The Gutter closed its facility the next day as a precaution.
Thursday, October 23
The doctor started feeling feverish between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. He was transported to Bellevue and placed under isolation.

DAVIE— Thanks to last week's win over the Steelers, the upcoming game against Buffalo means quite a bit to the Dolphins. With a victory Sunday, Miami would be 3-4 with a bye week before hosting the floundering Jets on Nov. 6.
If the Dolphins are going to beat the red-hot Bills, here's how they'll do it:
1. No more than two sacks allowed
The Miami offensive line was pretty much perfect last week: no sacks and 222 rushing yards. It doesn't have to be quite that great every week, but it has to be great. The Dolphins are sinking more than $30 million into their o-line, and if that unit fails the team will as well. If they can hold Buffalo to no more than two sacks, Ryan Tannehill has a chance.
2. Jay Ajayi needs to produce
Just like the offensive line, it's unrealistic to expect Ajayi to repeat what he did last week (204 yards and two touchdowns on 25 carries), but he has to give the Dolphins a valuable contribution. If he can get somewhere near the 100-yard mark, that'll be good enough for Miami.
3. Someone other than Jarvis Landry has to be useful in the passing game
Tannehill needs as many receiving options as possible. While Landry remains one of the most dependable receivers in the NFL, his cohorts DeVante Parker and Kenny Stills are barely involved. They have a combined total of 12 catches over the past three games. With tight end Jordan Cameron out and running back Arian Foster injured, Parker or Stills has to become a legitimate threat.
4. Kiko Alonso needs to get his revenge
The Bills drafted Alonso in 2013 and were done with him two years later. The Dolphins need him to be huge against the best running attack in the NFL. Buffalo averages 166.5 rushing yards per game, led by LeSean McCoy at 97.8. McCoy is a game-time decision due to injury, but even if he doesn't play, this o-line has proven it can outmuscle anybody. Alonso better be ready to clean up anything that comes his way.
5. Matt Darr and Co. look to continue their excellence
There's nothing sexy about punting, but it's been a major asset to Miami. Darr is sixth in net punting average and has pinned the return team inside the 20-yard line 13 times. One of the keys to beating the Steelers last week was forcing them into an average starting position of their own 23-yard line.

check up on us - see how your help is put to work
.New Charity Project in Tiberias - Galilee - Israel
First, we should introduce our good friend and the tallest
Chasid that I know, Zeev Berg. (He is the tallest one in the picture.)
Zeev has tirelessly worked with the children and youth of the
Galilee, Judea and Samaria for many years by putting on Summer and Chanukah
Youth Camps, and we have tried to assist in his efforts by raising funds to
sponsor these Youth and Children Camps through the years, and we continue to do
Zeev recently made us aware of a new
work in Tiberias, Israel that he is involved in (in addition to all his efforts
with the Camps). A few of the things this service is doing: This
work is under the auspices of Chabad House of Tiberias and is supplying over 200
hot meals a day to very needy people, but they need the resources to greatly
increase these efforts. Plus, they are operating (with meals) 3
pre-kindergartens and kindergartens for under-privileged children and of course,
more needs to be added. In addition they are operating a clothing bank for those
many people who are at or below the poverty level.
Not many people are aware that Tiberias on the beautiful
Kinneret (Sea of Galilee) is the poorest area in the entire Galilee area of
Israel. Nor are they aware that for the first time since the 1950's many, many
Israelis are at or below the poverty level. Simply put - they need our help! -
how can we not give it to them?
Be Well,
Shmuel "Sam" Peak
Below is a link to a 10-minute video that was put together by Zeev to
show us some of this work. We left the original contact info for Chabad House of
Tiberias just so that you can contact them if you want; however, it is better

|Bipolar disorder benefits from cancer medication
|Written by NetDoc.com Medical News Feed
The medication tamoxifen, best known as a treatment for breast cancer, dramatically reduces symptoms of the manic phase of bipolar disorder more quickly than many standard medications for the mental illness, a new study shows. Researchers at the National Institutes of Health's National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) who conducted the study also explained how: tamoxifen blocks an enzyme called protein kinase C (PKC) that regulates activities in brain cells. The enzyme is thought to be over-active during the manic phase of bipolar disorder.
Discuss this article on the forums. (0 posts)
By pointing to PKC as a target for new medications, the study raises the possibility of developing faster-acting treatments for the manic phase of the illness. Current medications for the manic phase generally take more than a week to begin working, and not everyone responds to them. Tamoxifen itself might not become a treatment of choice, though, because it also blocks estrogen — the property that makes it useful as a treatment for breast cancer — and because it may cause endometrial cancer if taken over long periods of time. Currently, tamoxifen is approved by the Food and Drug Administration for treatment of some kinds of cancer and infertility, for example. It was used experimentally in this study because it both blocks PKC and is able to enter the brain.
Results of the study were published online in the September issue of Bipolar Disorders by Husseini K. Manji, MD, Carlos A. Zarate Jr., MD, and colleagues.
Almost 6 million American adults have bipolar disorder, whose symptoms can be disabling. They include profound mood swings, from depression to vastly overblown excitement, energy, and elation, often accompanied by severe irritability. Children also can develop the illness.
During the manic phase of bipolar disorder, patients are in "overdrive" and may throw themselves intensely into harmful behaviors they might not otherwise engage in. They might indulge in risky pleasure-seeking behaviors with potentially serious health consequences, for example, or lavish spending sprees they can't afford. The symptoms sometimes are severe enough to require hospitalization.
"People think of the depressive phase of this brain disorder as the time of risk, but the manic phase has its own dangers," said NIMH Director Thomas R. Insel, MD. "Being able to treat the manic phase more quickly would be a great asset to patients, not just for restoring balance in mood, but also because it could help stop harmful behaviors before they start or get out of control."
The three-week study included eight patients who were given tamoxifen and eight who were given a placebo (a sugar pill); all were adults and all were having a manic episode at the time of the study. Neither the patients nor the researchers knew which of the substances the patients were getting.
By the end of the study, 63 percent of the patients taking tamoxifen had reduced manic symptoms, compared with only 13 percent of those taking a placebo. Patients taking tamoxifen responded by the fifth day — which corresponds with the amount of time needed to build up enough tamoxifen in the brain to dampen PKC activity.
The researchers decided to test tamoxifen's effects on the manic phase of bipolar disorder because standard medications used to treat this phase, specifically, are known to lower PKC activity — but they do it through a roundabout biochemical route that takes time. Tamoxifen is known instead to block PKC directly. As the researchers suspected would happen, tamoxifen's direct actions on PKC resulted in much faster relief of manic symptoms, compared with some of the standard medications available today.
"We now have proof of principle. Our results show that targeting PKC directly, rather than through the trickle-down mechanisms of current medications, is a feasible strategy for developing faster-acting medications for mania," said Manji. "This is a major step toward developing new kinds of medications."
Findings from another recent NIMH study strengthen the results. This previous study showed that the risk of developing bipolar disorder is influenced by a variation in a gene called DGKH. The gene makes a PKC-regulatin G protein known to be active in the biochemical pathway through which standard medications for bipolar disorder exert their effects - another sign that PKC is a promising direct target at which to aim new medications for the illness.
"Mania isn't just your average mood swing, where any of us might feel upbeat in response to something that happens. It's part of a brain disorder whose behavioral manifestations can severely undermine people's jobs, relationships, and health," said Zarate. "The sooner we can help patients get back on an even keel, the more we can help them avoid major disruptions to their lives and the lives of people around them."

It's been a long day. A full day with students and then 11 parent teacher conferences back to back. Not enough time outside today or steps and walks but in just my walk from the van to the house door I stopped and noticed. In my notebook, I wrote a vertical list with a few more things but enjoyed playing around with a shorter list horizontally. I think I'll put this version in the notebook too.
Thank you to the Two Wrtiting Teachers group for hosting our writing community and you can enjoy the other slices from today by stopping by the link provided.

WINCHESTER, Va. - The fourth-ranked Randolph-Macon baseball team belted three home runs in each game of an ODAC doubleheader sweep at No. 11 Shenandoah Saturday afternoon.
The Yellow Jackets (26-4-1, 16-2 ODAC) won the opener 18-2 and took the nightcap 8-4 over the Hornets (26-8, 13-5 ODAC). R-MC remains in sole possession of first place in the conference standings, one game ahead of Virginia Wesleyan and two ahead of Roanoke. The Maroons are the final ODAC opponent for the Yellow Jackets.
Sophomore Michael Nickles (Stafford, Va./Colonial Forge) went 3 for 7 with three homers, five runs and six RBI. He went deep once in Game 1 and twice in Game 2. Nickles is second in the conference with seven dingers. Senior Joseph Tuzzolo (Newport News, Va./Menchville) was 5 for 9 with two homers, three runs and six RBI. He went deep in each game and raised his league-leading home run total to 10. Senior Rick Spiers (South Chesterfield, Va./Matoaca) had a grand slam in the opener and drove in five.
In Game 1, Tuzzolo homered to lead off the top of the second to start the scoring. The Yellow Jackets went up 2-0 in the fifth as sophomore Ryan Duphorn (Erial, N.J./Paul VI) had a leadoff single, was sacrificed to second by junior Jeff Butler (Chesapeake, Va./Western Branch) and scored on a double by senior Cole Migliorini (Stafford, Va./Colonial Forge).
After SU tied it with two in the bottom of the fifth, R-MC reclaimed the lead in the sixth. Sophomore Reece Yeargain (Richmond, Va./Benedictine) had a leadoff single and moved to second when sophomore Cole Grinde (Woodford, Va./Caroline) walked. Nickles reached second on a throwing error on his sacrifice bunt. Grinde went to third and Yeargain scored to make it 3-2. Sophomore Zach Evans (Fort Mill, S.C./Seneca) drove home both runners with a base hit to give the visitors a 5-2 advantage. Evans moved to second when Duphorn walked and scored on a single by Migliorini to push the lead to 6-2. With Duphorn on third and Migliorini on second, Tuzzolo singled to plate both and make it 8-2. A Yeargain double brought home Tuzzolo. Following a Grinde walk, Nickles belted a three-run homer to push the advantage to 12-2.
Spiers had an RBI single in the seventh and Migliorini added a run-scoring single in the eighth before Spiers smacked a grand slam to make the final 18-2.
Migliorini finished with three hits and three RBI, while Duphorn went 2 for 3 with two walks and three runs.
Junior Colin Selby (Chesapeake, Va./Western Branch) fanned eight in seven innings with four hits, one earned run and two walks. He raised his record to 8-1.
In Game 2, Yeargain had an RBI double and Nickles followed with a two-run homer in the second to give R-MC a 3-0 lead. After SU plated four in the third to take a 4-3 advantage, Tuzzolo homered in the fourth to level the score at 4-4.
In the seventh, Tuzzolo had a two-out two-run single to put the Yellow Jackets on top 6-4. The Hornets put the tying runs on in the bottom of the seventh, but junior Tommy Barron (Chester, Va./Thomas Dale) coaxed a fly ball to center to end the threat.
Nickles homered in the eighth and Evans scored on an error to make the final 8-4.
Junior Nick Roth (Henrico, Va./Benedictine) picked up the win, going six innings with seven hits, four runs, one walk and four strikeouts. Senior Cody Thompson (Mechanicsville, Va./Atlee) fanned four over the final two frames to seal the sweep.
Randolph-Macon travels to Catholic (receiving votes in national poll) on Wednesday for a 3:30 p.m. contest. The final four regular-season games for the Yellow Jackets will be at home: St. Mary's on Thursday at 3:30 p.m., an ODAC doubleheader with No. 13 Roanoke on Saturday at noon, and a 3:30 p.m. contest with ninth-ranked Christopher Newport on Tuesday, May 1.

A study published in the journal eLife, explains how tumor cells can grow in conditions of low oxygen, and discloses a new and unique drug targets that can be used for future cancer therapies.
Hypoxia - lack of oxygen in the tissues of the body - it is a known cancer indication. "We know that the hypoxic part of tumors containing fat droplets, and the data indicate that the ability of tumors to accumulate these drops is related to its ability to survive in conditions of low oxygen," explains Xiaodong Zhang, Ph.D., a researcher at the University of Arizona Mayo, USA , and lead author of the study. "But we do not understand how and why these lipid droplets are formed, so we began to study it."
The team is particularly interested in the role of an enzyme molecule called adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL), because it accelerates the decomposition of fat and demonstrates the suppression of tumor growth. But when they destroyed ATGL gene in hypoxic cancer cells, they did not observe further accumulation of droplets, suggesting a change ATGL activity, which caused a reduction in body fat.
To learn more, they searched for other protein molecules that could participate in ATGL activity. This led them to a molecule called HIG2, which is abundantly present in a wide variety of solid tumors, including colon cancer and kidney. They found that HIG2 was co-located with ATGL and has similar properties to another molecule that blocks ATGL. They tested the effects on ATGL HIG2 and found that first molecule specifically blocks fat breakdown caused ATGL, and as a result, increases the size of the fat droplets in the cells.
The team then wanted to see whether these effects are replicated in cells with low oxygen content. I would like to HIG2 was dramatically activated in conditions of low oxygen and caused an increase in the accumulation of fat droplets in the cells. Again, with the mutated HIG2 cells did not show any of these effects. However, when ATGL mutated, the accumulation of fat recovered. This proves that HIG2 works for larger, fat storage and reduction in the cell metabolism by a specific blocking ATGL.
So why hypoxic cancer cells try to block fat breakdown? The following commands experiments showed that cells without HIG2 conditions with low oxygen content leads to excessive production of reactive oxygen species - an increase of nearly 250%. In mice with tumors removal HIG2 caused profound delay of tumor growth compared to mice with a functioning HIG2.
"We have found an important survival mechanism that cancer cells use when under low oxygen level", - concludes the senior author Jun Liu, a professor of biochemistry and molecular biology at the campus of the Mayo Clinic in Arizona. "Our results warrant further investigation of the interaction HIG2-ATGL as the main therapeutic strategy for the treatment of a wide range of aggressive cancers."

The bottle features a bright floral labeling with a pair of prominent trees, and is quite pleasant to behold, betraying the naturalist tendencies of its makers and their ecological philosophies. However, on closer inspection, the label is quite, shall we say, odd. The floral scene fades, and the trees begin taking on amorphous, almost-humanoid shapes, with blank eyes peering out from the label. I'm quite certain there's a modern-art message behind these 'trees' that eludes a humble classicalist like myself. Nevertheless, I now regard the bottle with a sort of fearful Lovecraftian reverence that the winemakers, I'm sure, never intended.
Strange trees aside, I found myself quite envying that floral scene this morning. With 'autumn in New York' quite nearing its end, the icy air that greeted me upon waking left me pining for a summer that I had only just begun to fully appreciate. This spurred my mind down culinary avenues I hadn't considered for quite some time.
At first, I found myself thinking about the sort of food I would want on a chilly day such as this. Then, as the shock of the morning air wore off, and the daze of sleep cleared from my eyes, I began trying to pair food with this New York weather using the Garnacha behind that eerie labeling as inspiration.
Immediately, I thought of simple home favorites such as hardy soups, stews, and various savory pies. However, I wanted to put together something a fair bit less predictable, and found myself reaching back to an old family favorite that I used to prepare on occasion for busy weeknight meals – tortilla lasagna. In that older version, which I used to prepare for my kids, I used tortilla chips, salsa, and sour cream as the base. This time, I wanted to elevate the old favorite a few notches with a coriander and cumin roux and a from-scratch chicken salsa.
For the chicken salsa, I started out by sautéing onions, garlic and jalapenos in olive oil in a large cast iron pan. Then I added in crushed tomatoes, red pepper flakes, shredded roast chicken, and dark beer.
After preparing a roux spiced with cumin and coriander (as described below), I buttered a casserole dish and began the fun part – layering. First, layer a half-cup of the roux in the bottom of the casserole dish, then arrange four tortilla halves over the sauce. Over the tortilla halves set two cups of the chicken salsa, shredded cheese, and chopped olives. Repeat this layering until you've filled the casserole dish, then bake uncovered for about forty-five minutes.
Now, you're not quite done if you want to do this right, which of course you do. Take the casserole out of the oven, top it with about a half-cup of cheese, then bake for an additional five minutes. Then garnish with sour cream and salsa, and enjoy.
Chicken Enchilada Casserole
- Yields 4-6 servings
- Recipe type: Main dish
- Prep time: 10 min
- Cook time: 45 min
- Total time: 55 min
- 2 cups of cooked chicken – shredded
- 2 tbs. olive oil
- 1 sweet onion – sliced thin
- 4 garlic cloves – chopped
- ½ cup dark beer
- ½ tsp. red pepper flakes
- 1 (28 oz.) can of crushed tomatoes
- 2 Jalapeno's – diced
- 5 tbs. all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp. salt
- ½ tsp. ground cumin
- ½ tsp. ground coriander
- ¼ tsp. fresh ground black pepper
- 2 cups milk
- 2 large egg whites – lightly beaten
- 1 cup cheddar cheese – shredded
- 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese – shredded
- 6 corn tortillas, cut in half
- 6 oz. can of pitted black olives – drained and halved
- Sour cream
- Salsa
- Butter for greasing the casserole dish
- Preheat Oven 350 degrees F.
- Heat the olive oil in a large cast-iron pan.
- Add the onion, jalapeno and garlic and sauté until the onion is soften and the garlic is fragrant.
- Add the shredded chicken, beer, red pepper flakes and crushed tomatoes; cook until the pan thickens and most of the liquid evaporates. Remove the pan from the heat.
- Combine the flour, salt, cumin, fresh ground black pepper and coriander in a medium size saucepan and gradually add the milk while stirring with a whisk. Place this over a medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens.
- Gradually add the hot milk mixture to the beaten egg whites, stirring constantly, then set aside.
- Toss the cheeses together in a bowl and set aside.
- Butter a casserole dish.
- Place ½ cup of the white sauce in the bottom of the casserole dish.
- Arrange 4 tortilla halves over the sauce, followed by 2 cups of the chicken mixture and ½ cup of the cheese mixture, followed by the olives.
- Repeat these layers; reserve ½ cup of cheese.
- Bake uncovered for 40 – 45 minutes.
- Place the ½ cup of cheese over the top and place back in the oven for an additional 5 minutes.
- Let the dish rest for 10 minutes before serving.
- Garnish with sour cream and salsa.
In the end, I couldn't have been happier with how the enchilada casserole turned out – flavorful and filling, which paired quite lovely with the icy air. Oddly, though, I still couldn't bring myself to open that eerily labeled bottle of Garnacha…

UPDATE: Woody Harrelson might have let things slip or could be misinformed. Creative executive Pablo Hidalgo denied that Harrelson was playing the role of Han Solo's mentor. There has been no official confirmation from Disney/Lucasfilm so take this news with a grain of salt. We've included our original article below for posterity.
Woody Harrelson has confirmed he'll appear in the Star Wars Han Solo spin-off film. He'll play Han Solo's mentor Garris Shrike in the film, due to be released in 2018.
Harrelson was asked by Variety if he would be taking on the role of Garris Shrike and after squirming uncomfortably in his seat, eventually replied, "Yeah, I am."
We already knew that Harrelson was in talks to play the role of mentor to the young Han Solo, played by Alden Ehrenreich. We also reported that StarWars.com confirmed his involvement. But it's the first time he's personally confirmed his casting and, crucially, the name of his character.
The character of Garris Shrike debuted in The Paradise Snare, first book in A.C. Crispin's The Han Solo Trilogy, published in 1997.
A former bounty hunter turned con man, Shrike assembled a group of orphans to use in his tricks and ruses – one of which was Han Solo. But although Shrike took Solo off the streets and raised him, he would also beat him. Solo eventually ran away from Shrike following an altercation in which his Wookiee mother figure was killed.
After a large bounty is placed on Solo's head, Shrike pursues his former charge seeking money and revenge.
From what we know about the character of Garris Shrike, it's clear that Solo learned his roguish ways from his former mentor. There are obvious pointers here as to what shaped Han Solo into the man he became; the Han Solo audiences were first introduced to in Episode IV. However, there's no indication that the movie will follow the storyline of the book.
In revealing that Garris Shrike will appear in the film, though, it does look like the Han Solo spin off will explore their relationship in a kind of origin story.
The untitled Han Solo spin-off is set before Star Wars: A New Hope and will be a standalone story like Rogue One, which also took place before the events of Episode IV.
Woody Harrelson joins other confirmed cast members Donald Glover, who's on board to play the young Lando Calrissian, and Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke. The film will be directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller of the 21 Jump Street film franchise.
If you want to find out more about Garris Shrike, his back story and his relationship with Han Solo, visit the Star Wars Wiki, Wookieepedia.

The wedding cake tasting is hands down one of the highlights of planning a wedding! Who doesn't love the chance to get to sample all of those delicious confections all in the name of planning the perfect reception? This guide will give you an overview of wedding cake flavors, and help you determine which ones would be the best for your cake.
Naturally the best flavor for your wedding cake is your favorite one. At the same time, it is helpful to keep the style of the wedding in mind and to try to select a dessert which complements it. The most traditional flavor is the classic white buttercream cake. If you are a fan of traditional wedding elements like roses, lace, and pearl earrings, this would be an ideal cake for your reception. Of course, even classics can be given a dash of surprise; just as you might add a blue crystal to your pearl bridal earrings, you can always think about adding a layer of jam or cream to your white cake. Flavored buttercream, such as raspberry or mocha, will be delicious yet subtle. A jam or fresh fruit filling (lemon curd, anyone?) will be bolder in taste.
Chocolate is another top flavor for wedding cakes. Rich dark chocolate is definitely a top choice when the groom has a vote, and many brides like it as well. It is particularly good for a fall or winter cake, as the sweet ending to a rich meal. Frost it with chocolate icing for a doubly good taste. In the summer, an all chocolate confection can seem a bit heavy; if that is your flavor of choice, use a lighter white frosting to tone down the richness a bit. Not that anyone is going to complain about a chocolate cake, no matter what the season!
Fruit flavors can be light and refreshing for warm weather receptions. Try a lemon-infused confection for a July wedding. Or choose a tart and lively key lime flavor, which would be especially great for a Florida event. To infuse your cake with a tropical flair, choose a coconut frosting over key lime - you can bet that everyone will be coming back for seconds! Shaved coconut will look great as the main cake decoration. Add a line of small seashells around the base of each tier for a marvelous tropical wedding cake.

Ha Na Jang Leads the Korean Charge at the Australian Open
Current world number six Ha Na Jang, along with five more Korean ladies will be hoping for a strong performance this week, against a talented field at the ISPS Handa Australian Womens Open, being played at the Royal Adelaide Golf Course.
Jang, a three time winner on the LPGA Tour last year, will tee it up alongside world number one Lydia Ko and world number eight Brooke Henderson, in the marquee group.
In addition to Jang, there will be seven more Korean ladies in the field, all hoping for a good week in Adelaide. After last weeks top 5 finish at the Victoria Open for amateur Hye Jin Choi, she will be brimming with confidence again this week. Definitely another one to look out for. Of the rest, it is expected that Mi Hyang Lee and Jenny Shin may fare the best, however any one of these Korean ladies has the potential to win this week.
All will be revealed this week. Good luck ladies.

This past week, I was at the Summer Institute on Theology and Disability. There was so much that I learned but one of the terms I came across for the first time was "inspiration porn." What is inspiration porn?
Many people find people with disabilities inspirational. That is fine if they are actually doing something inspiring but in many cases people are inspired by those with disabilities for just getting through day doing normal activities.
There is an objectifying of people with disabilities by those without. I will confess that I have done this. I have seen people with disabilities as being inspiring for simply "getting out of bed and remembering their name."
I highly recommend that you watch this video by Stella Young. You won't be inspired but you will be informed.

Auchentoshan 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
Lowlands, SCOTLAND
Subscribe to stock alerts
Please enter your email address to receive stock alerts for this product:
Launched in 2008, triple distilled and matured in x bourbon oak for over eighteen years, this is now part of the core range. Expect a richer Auchentoshan with hints of ripe citrus and green tea.Other reviews... Aged in first and (mostly) second fill sherry casks. The sherry is kept in balance and does not mask Auchentoshan's subtle beauty. The classic Auchentoshan creamy, grassy, freshness abounds, complemented by honey-soaked almonds, cereal grain, and an array of bright fruit (citrus, sultana, mandarin). Not as polished as the Auchentoshan 21 year old, but quite entertaining. (420 bottles for the U.S.) 43% Alc./Vol.

False. $\$347 \text{ billion} =3.47 \times 10^{11}$ dollars
Work Step by Step
A number in scientific notation is of the form $a \times 10^n$, where $1 \le a \lt 10$, and $n$ is an integer. Thus, $347 \times 10^9$ is not in scientific notation. Move the decimal point 2 places to the left and then increase the power of 10 by 2 to retain the value and obtain: $=3.47 \times 10^{9+2} \\=3.47 \times 10^{11}$

With the subsidence staring us in the face individuals cannot spend the measure of cash as they did previously. Deals are dropping all over the place and furthermore, in the wellness hardware industry, there are fewer deals. The general population has less cash to spend on quality Treadmills so they search for a decent substitute. There are many a few treadmill makers and they all need a similar thing, you purchasing their item. In the accompanying content, I will clarify two or three hints that you can use to purchase a quality treadmill.
Initially consider how much cash you need to spend on a treadmill before you go online or to the store to get one. These days there are considerable measure great arrangements that you can close. A great deal of Fitness Equipment Shops is in terrible climate as a result of the subsidence and won't offer the same number of the item as they do previously. Attempt to deal with them about the cost. Ask the businessperson how much rebate you can get, on the off chance that he says: you cannot get any, express gratitude toward him and say you will take a gander at wellness hardware by the neighbor. Presumably he will give you some rebate at that point and on the off chance that he doesn't do that, no stresses. You really can go to the following Fitness Shop around the local area and attempt a similar thing.
Another alternative to purchase a decent quality treadmill is on the web. These days each huge treadmill maker has its own site. Look on the off chance that you can locate any low estimated treadmills there. A moment decent choice on the web is destinations like amazon.com or eBay.com. These sale locales can get you some great arrangements. The third choice is to take a gander at one of the numerous audit locales on the web. These survey destinations can give you a decent view into the highlights of the machine you need. Know that the greater part of the audit site are not objective since you normal can purchase a treadmill there as well.
Before purchasing a treadmill you should consider your own particular conditions: to what extent would you say you are and what amount do I weigh? How longer somebody is the greater the tread belt of the machine must be. A man that is long will make longer advances when he is running. It is desirable over have a treadmill with a long tread belt at that point. For greater individuals, it is essential to perceive how much weight the treadmill can deal with. You will require a tough, stable treadmill when you are enormous in view of the powers the treadmill needs to adapt to when you are running.
After those two contemplations it is brilliant to take a gander at the accompanying:
- How much torque has the treadmill and is it ceaseless drive or pinnacle pull?
- What sort of guarantee does the treadmill have?
- Aare there enough projects on the treadmill to give me a chance to free weight?
- Does the treadmill have decent stun absorption?
- Does it have a crisis stop or a crisis remote/key?
- Is it foldable or not?
- Does it have every one of the highlights I need?
On the off chance that you took a gander at each one of those focuses you have a quite clear perspective of what sort of Treadmill is beneficial for you. you can buy a used treadmill here.

If you know me much at all you'll know that I appreciate a good handshake. I realise its not good to judge a man by his handshake, but lets be honest, if you meet a guy who gives you a limp fish you'll think twice before inviting him to go hunting or something.
Well hopefully the poor handshake is in its final days, because a team of researchers somewhere has done the hard yards and figured out the equation for the perfect handshake. It depends on twelve variables including eye contact, verbal greeting, vigour, temperature of hands and so on. There's no provision for getting the other hand involved (on the shoulder, elbow or just the old two handed handshake) which I reckon takes the standard handshake to a whole new level, but then I'm pretty sketchy about the whole thing.
What I'd really like to see is an equation to determine whether to hug a girl or stick with the handshake, which depends on many complex factors such as the duration of time since/until seeing her, eccentricity of the girl, level of friendship, location etc. etc. Or maybe I'm just awkward.

text: roger5 0 Posted December 11, 2008 On the first page of the Install Guide, one is told to "Run this SQL query on your store's database:" ALTER TABLE 'orders' ADD 'transaction_details' NEXT NULL AFTER 'cc_expires'; I got syntax errors if I ran the query like this, using the "mysql_send.php" program from the book "PHP & MySQL for Dummies" (which uses mysqli instead of mysql commands). But after I eliminated the single quote marks from the query, then it worked just fine, as... ALTER TABLE orders ADD transaction_details NEXT NULL AFTER cc_expires ; I don't know enough about MySQL queries to know why this is so. Another problem I found with the Install Guide was on page 2, where it said to make a change to the catalog/admin/orders.php . The problem is that "before" and "after" examples shown are identical. There is no indication just what changes need to be made. - Roger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
