My research and teaching focus on the New Testament in its ancient Jewish and Graeco-Roman contexts. I am particularly interested in social justice in the Judaeo-Christian tradition, in particular where expressed through property-sharing, intentional religious communities which establish a community-external focus on practical care for the poor and vulnerable.
I am presently preparing research monographs entitled Jesus and the Poor and The Social Interpretation of Essenism on the origins of mutually supportive Christian community forms in Judaea at the time of Jesus' death and resurrection, and a collection of my revised essays on the Essenes and on the origins of Johannine Christianity within the Essene communitarian stream of ancient Judaism.
I hold my doctorate from Cambridge University, taught as a full-time lecturer at the universities of Edinburgh, Oxford, and St. Andrews, and was Gastprofessor at Tübingen University for two years before taking up my present responsibilities as Reader in Christian Origins in Canterbury.
My recent PhD research students have included Laura Mills, Jesus, social reform and virtuoso religion: a study of Jesus' practice and teaching concerning wealth and poverty (2014); Stephane Saulnier, Calendrical Variations in Second Temple Judaism: New Perspectives on the Date of the Last Supper Debate (Supplements to the Journal for the Study of Judaism, Brill Academic Publishers, 2012); and Timothy J.M. Ling, The Judaean Poor and the Fourth Gospel (Society for New Testament Studies Monograph Series 136, Cambridge University Press, 2006), whose monograph won a $20,000 Templeton Award for Theological Promise. Tim's achievement was reported in the Times Higher Educational Supplement:
I teach first years the Certificate in New Testament Greek and Introduction to Biblical Studies; the second year modules Jesus in Christian Doctrine History and Gospel and Letters of John; and my research-based honours module Church and Society in the New Testament.
My research on the social form of the early Christian churches and their charitable activities has led to many speaking engagements and publications in the areas: wealth and poverty in the Bible; virtuoso religion and care for the poor in ancient Judaism, the ministry of Jesus and the early Jesus movement; the relationships between Essenism, the Dead Sea Scrolls and the social form of earliest Judaean Christianity; the community of goods of the early Jerusalem Church; Essenism and the origins of the Johannine tradition; covenant, fictive kinship and social caring in the Hebrew Bible, New Testament and second century Christianity; the roles of women in the early church; and the pattern of order and ministry in early Christianity.
Dr. Capper speaks about the heart content of his university researches in under two minutes in this Youtube clip:
Dr. Capper is married to Irena, who teaches and plays the French horn locally and in the University
New Testament Studies; Ancient Judaism; Dead Sea Scrolls; social-scientific approaches to the Bible.
Dr. Capper has presented papers at the Christian Origins Seminar, Cambridge University; Oxford University's New Testament Seminar; the Ehrhardt Seminar, Manchester University; the Biblical Studies Seminar, King's College, London University; the Society for Biblical Literature; and the British New Testament Studies Conferences. He contributes to ministerial training in the Anglican dioceses of Southwark, Rochester and Canterbury.

..... Life as I know it has caught up with me. We've had unbelievable BAD car luck...
Scooter's brake lines broke as he was approaching a red light, he was able to slow down a little but ended up rear ending a lady. Everyone is fine.... $400 for the brake line repair $75 towing and we're still waiting for the final word on the repair bill from the lady. Note: He had new brake pads and rotors done a couple months ago. Brake lines can appear to be fine but can go at any time, no warning.
So while his car was in the shop getting fixed, I let him drive MY car..... He was leaving the gym and it stalled.... what???
It turned out to be the distributor assembly...got it towed for $65 and another whopping $400 to get fixed. Once it was home, I cleaned her out and made her pretty...then went took take her for a spin...she stalled out in the street in front of my house. What???? Finally got her to started again and gimped her to the mechanic.... The problem was that my spark plug wires were arcing...corroded from humidity.... most likely the reason of how the distributor assembly fried....another $260 and she's back on the road again.
We're back to a full fleet of cars and LIFE is good!
Cha-ching! :o)

Beth's nectarine and strawberry slice that is guaranteed to make you awesomely popular*
Melted butter or spray oil for greasing the pan
1 punnet strawberries, washed, drained, cut in half
3 nectarines, cut into 6 pieces each. (I could have blanched them and peeled them, but I couldn't be bothered. The baked skin was soft and didn't affect the overall taste or texture.)
100g butter, cubed, at room temperature
110g caster sugar (or substitute artificial sugar. CSR Smart sugar is my preferred brand)
1 tsp vanilla essence
2 eggs
75g self-raising flour
75g plain flour
100g ground almonds
Icing sugar to sprinkle on top
- Preheat oven to 180°C. Brush a 16.5 x 26cm (base measurement) slab pan with melted butter or lightly grease with spray oil. Line the pan with non-stick baking paper to cover the base and extend over the long sides.
- Use electric beaters to beat the butter, caster sugar and vanilla essence in a medium sized mixing bowl until pale and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, until combined.
- Sift the self-raising and plain flours over the batter. Add the ground almonds and use a large metal spoon or metal spatula to fold the dry ingredients into the butter mixture. Spoon into prepared pan and smooth the surface. The mixture is quite stiff so you must hold the paper in place.
- Arrange the nectarine pieces and strawberry halves in an alternating pattern on top of the batter and press down gently so they are slightly embedded. Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes (mine took 30 mins) or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the slice comes out clean. Leave in the pan for 5 minutes before lifting out.
- Serve at room temperature as a slice, cut into 12 portions. Or, cut into 8 portions and serve warm for dessert accompanied by cream or ice-cream. Dust with icing sugar just before serving. Best eaten on the same day.
* Guaranteed only if you are a nice person to start out with.

Just in time for the new year -- a retro crocheted pullover from w-a-a-a-ay back in 1965!
Pattern modifications were minimal. I lowered the neckline (in the front) just a bit, and also made the armhole deeper. The original pattern had sleeves worked separately, from the bottom up. I decided to work them from the top down so that I would know exactly how wide they needed to be for the newly deepened armhole. Seemed to work just fine, although I did need to re-work my sleeve decreases a couple of times in order to have them be as smooth as possible. Ripping and re-doing are never a waste of time if you end up with the look you want.
Here's a close up of the neckline:
Yarn used was Jaeger Baby Merino 4-ply, purchased from Webs as a closeout (the Jaeger line has been discontinued by Rowan). It's a nice enough yarn, but seems rather loosely plied, so the strands separate more than I like. I'm hoping it will wear reasonably well, as I envision this as an 'knock-about' type of sweater. Since it's merino I may not get my wish -- the price I paid, plus the color, make it all worthwhile to me though.

I'm joking about the sponsor thing.
Ok so few days ago I was playing DayZ and I met this guy and he told me his name is Scott. So we started our adventure and we had a lot really awkward conversations. At first I didn't know Scott was BDutch, I asked a guy who we met along the way and he told me Scott is the Russian Badger and I believed him but later more people came over and I realized that he must be a youtuber/streamer and people were calling him BDutch, so I searched up his name and guess what I found, he was streaming the event. And BDutch if you are watching this, dude you are really. I'll miss you Scott…no homo

Karl Rove On President Obama –And President Bush's Silence About President Obama
Karl Rove opened Friday's show. Listen to the entire 18 minute conversation or read the transcript. It sounds to me like the seriousness of the current president's failure may push W into public criticism of those failures –after the elections.
HH: On a day when Ukraine announces it's wiped out a column of Russian armored vehicles, ISIS continues its rampage, Ferguson is on edge, I am joined by the Architect, Karl Rove. Karl, welcome, it's always a pleasure to talk to you.
KR: Hugh, thanks for having me on.
HH: Now I normally run the map with you, but I actually wanted to ask you about something different today, and it's about the fact you served at the side of a president in wartime from 9/11, when did you leave the White House, Karl?
KR: September of 2007.
HH: Okay, so that's six long years, and we're about that point in the Obama administration. And it seems like all the wheels are coming off. And I don't know, could you have ever imagined IS rising under George W. Bush this way?
KR: No, and you know, this is not a recent event. I thought, I find myself in rare agreement with Hillary Clinton. I thought in her interview with Jeffrey Goldberg, she was right on target. President Obama's failure three years ago to arm the Free Syrian Army, you know, the non to moderate alternative to the Islamists gave ISIS the ability to rise in Syria and now extend its influence into Iraq. And the President's failure to stand forward when he could have is the reason why we're seeing unroll what we're seeing unroll.
HH: Now a week ago today Charles Krauthammer said on this show that the President is, "strategically clueless." On Monday, former Vice President Cheney said here he doesn't think the President's reading his intelligence briefs. Now there's two issues there. Are we talking about incompetence? Or are we talking about a refusal to do the job you've been elected to do? What do you think, Karl Rove?
KR: I frankly think both are right. I wrote several weeks ago in a column in the Wall Street Journal that actually, it was in June. President Obama went out and said in June, in late May and early June, his people went around the White House press corps saying we want to explain our foreign policy. Our view is don't do stupid stuff, only they used a more earthy word for stuff.
HH: Right.
KR: And I wrote a column for the Wall Street Journal in which I said this is, this shows an absence of strategic thinking. The President, this is not a strategy. This is a barnyard epithet. This is something you say on the 6th grade playground. This is not a, this is not a strategy. And so I think Krauthammer is right. I think, however, the Vice President's right. The president of the United States, the current president of the United States, in my view, is not engaged in what a president needs to be engaged in. Now I don't know whether he reads his intelligence report. I do hear that he doesn't, he rarely has the intelligence report delivered to him by the briefers. And what's interesting about that to me is, is that look, a president can read those things, and that's fine. But that doesn't give the president a chance to eyeball the briefers and to ask questions. And the fact that President Obama apparently gets most of his intelligence briefings in writing, and doesn't bother to bring in the briefers so that he can ask questions and engage in a dialogue shows to me the level of disengagement on this guy.
HH: So Karl, how worried are you about the next two and a half years, because as some people say, and I wrote, he wants to be in his Carter Center phase right now. I don't see him doing anything. He stayed in Martha's Vineyard as genocide was threatened in Western Iraq. What's the risk level for the next 30 months?
KR: I think it's very high, and more important than that is, is that he has set in motion a whole series of things over the last six years that are now becoming visible, and their import is becoming understandable, and they are going to take the next president a long time to deal with. It's not just simply the next 30 months. It's the next decade. What he has done, and you know, I was at a meeting recently, and I was listening to a former high official in the CIA who frankly is a friend of Hillary Clinton's, and sort of on that side, but a fair actor in all of this. And somebody said how back is it, and he says I think we are in a place where al Qaeda or al Qaeda follow-ons have a greater ability to launch mass casualty events than at any time since 9/11.
HH: Well, I agree with that. I think we have a situation where the industrial base under the control of Islamist radicals is bigger than it's ever been…
KR: Yeah.
HH: …with more wealth and more passports.
KR: Yeah.
HH: …and more willing accomplices. I mean, Putin is acting you've met him, Karl Rove. He's not acting rationally, but he may be acting as a thug would act when confronted with complete weakness.
KR: Well look, he is a thug. And he's in some ways a very smart guy. He wrote his paper, his Master's thesis, at St. Petersburg University on the use of the energy resources of the Soviet Union to influence Western Europe. I mean, this is decades ago he was thinking about this stuff. But he isn't the brightest bulb in the box. I'll grant you that. But he does, he is clever on sort of a cunning level, and he reads people. And he reads people for who they are and how he thinks he can get away with things. So he looks at President Obama and says weak. And that's my point, is once the United States has a reputation for being weak, once the United States has, is seen as being an undependable ally and a feckless adversary, the consequences take years to undo. Ronald Reagan, when he came into office after Jimmy Carter was not able to undo all of the things that Jimmy Carter had created in that respect for years. And you know, this president is going to leave behind to his successor a world that is going to be much more dangerous, and which America's word is much less respected, and America's might and military strength and diplomatic and economic strength, is much more difficult to mobilize, and much more difficult to get others to join us.
HH: Karl Rove, how much do you think the President's decision making is driven by his need to be opposite of whatever George W. Bush did, in other words, that he can't allow himself to admit that W. was right about the lay of the land in the Middle East and elsewhere?
KR: Well look, I think some of it, some of it, is sort of like if Bush did it, I'm not going to do it. But I think that governed more 2009 and 2010 than I think it does today. I think today, the President is governed more by what is his true vision and view of the world, in part. He views America as not a power for, and an influence for good. He does believe the world is a better place if we withdraw and allow people to settle their own matters in whatever way they intend to settle them. I think that's actually a big part of it, is that we're now seeing the real, true Obama. The other part of it, though, is look, I think this president simply is not doing the job that he's supposed to be doing. I was appalled when I saw a report that said that in all the months that he's been in office, in two months, I think July of this year, and November of 2012, he in those months talked to a total of 28 foreign leaders in each of those months. Obviously in November of 2012 to accept a lot of congratulatory phone calls, and this year, 28. In most months, he makes either high single digits or low double digit calls. That's appalling, because what it means is he's not out there talking to the foreign leaders. He's not working the phones on behalf of America's interests. He's not trying to develop a relationship with these foreign leaders. Heck, he went a year without speaking to Karzai, and nearly a year without speaking to Maliki, and we wonder why we don't have a good relationship or a manageable relationship with these difficult personalities? It's because the President doesn't bother to talk to them.
HH: Yeah, in fact, your boss ushered us in one day after he had just finished a two hour conversation with Maliki via sat com and a videophone, and he told the assembled pundits that he did this routinely as a means of instructing a new democratic leader, small d, on how to do this. And I just don't think the President does that right now.
KR: No, no, no, not at all. Not at all. In fact, Bush did this every two or three or four weeks for years, and this guy goes almost a year without even bothering to talk to him. And worse, he sends Joe Biden to be his mouthpiece. Now think about this. You're Maliki. You're used to dealing with Bush. Bush gets in your chili, gets in your face about things that are going on. It's not always pleasant, and you can't bully the guy around. In fact, you know, he's going to be asking you tough questions. And but at least you're dealing with the president of the United States. So if you say I need something, and he says you're going to have it, then you get it. Now they send Joe Biden over there. Can you imagine dealing with Joe Biden as a foreign leader? Name, speaking of foreign leaders, name me one foreign leader that jumps to mind that you think the president of the United States has a good relationship with, personal relationship.
HH: Maybe Cameron? Maybe?
KR: Maybe. I doubt it. You know, there's nobody in the world. Now why does that matter? Because look, relationships between nations are relationships based upon the relative interests of those nations, their philosophies, their goals, their desires, their interests, but they're also, to some degree, based on the relationships between leaders. It mattered that Maggie Thatcher and Ronald Reagan had a terrific relationship. It mattered that George W. Bush and Helmut Kohl were able to work together for a smooth transition from when the Berlin Wall fell. These kinds of things matter, and this President, he is smarter than everybody else in the world, and hence feels no necessity of reaching out and developing a rapport. And as a result, the United States suffers.
HH: Now Karl, let me switch the subject to your boss, because I have asked the Vice President, I've asked a lot of people, are things so bad that W. is going to actually speak up? And that also goes to whether or not David Petraeus and Stanley McChrystal or John Allen, or especially James Mattis, will actually speak up, because IS is a serious threat to the United States. Do you think we are at the point where W. will actually say something in the public square about national security?
KR: Look, I think the former president of the United States was right when he said, and when he left office, that he wanted to give his successor a decent interval. He didn't want him to be out there, criticizing him, not dancing on the stage. You know, President Bush had to deal with this with President Carter, who would not leave the stage. There is a role for a former president to speak about matters of import to the country. And I'm not going to speak for the former president, but I know he recognizes that there is such a role. And whether he does or not is going to be his decision. But you know, I do think that the country is recognizing the serious differences in the way that this president operates, and the former president operates. That doesn't mean to say that George W. Bush got everything right, but people are now recognizing there is a value to moral clarity, there is a value to understanding the results of the use of American influence, and there is, most important of all, a vitality, a necessity of having a strategic framework. And Bush had one, which is why Iraq, even President Obama was forced to admit in 2011 when he was withdrawing the U.S. troops from Iraq, that Iraq was in a reasonably good place, a stable, developing democracy, and that was because of the strategic framework and the hard decisions made by his predecessor.
HH: Now I think the short form that Bush won the war, and Obama lost the peace is absolutely true, and it's going to be undeniable by history. Yesterday, Joe Scarborough said on this show that President Obama's looking at 30 years of memoirs about his incompetence coming from insiders. Do you agree with that, Karl?
KR: I don't think it's going to be a pleasant retirement for him. First of all, I think he's going to, I think he's going to have an exaggerated sense of what he's going to be able to personally materially receive in his retirement. And you know, I think it's also going to be very unpleasant to hear the verdict of history unroll. I mean, we already saw it. When your secretary of State, when the person who has served you in the top position in your cabinet for four years goes out and says this was a failure responsible for today, for what we see today, and I'll be tougher on Iranian sanctions, and I'll be a stronger friend of Israel, and oh, incidentally, while I'm at it, let me just tell you great nations need organizing principles, and don't do stupid stuff is not an organizing principle. It shows how the arc of history is going to go in a very bad way for Barack Obama.
HH: Now pulling it back to the needs of the country, I mentioned generals that you have all worked with – Petraeus, Mattis, Allen and McChrystal. None of these have said anything into the public space, and for the same reasons that former President Bush might have been reluctant to do so. But as someone who understands the threat posed by terrorism, I'm not talking to you as a political strategist, but as a White House aide who had to be there on 9/11, and go to New York afterwards. Should they step forward and talk about what IS represents and what a nuclear Iran represents?
KR: Well, I do believe again there's an appropriate role, but they each have to find the way in which they're willing to talk about it. I also think that it is better, I hate to say this, the calendar is not at a good point for them. If they were to speak out about those things, I think it would be more constructive for the country if they were to do it after November 4 rather than before November 4. I think it would be easier to dismiss what they had to say as politics before November 4, and harder to do so afterwards.
HH: Oh, interesting. Okay, I buy that, and that would probably apply to former President Bush as well. Talk to us about the politics, then, both as the Senate candidates, and I ran over the map with Larry Sabato and with Sean Noble yesterday. It looks very good for Republicans. I think they're going to get their six plus in the Senate. They're going to pick up seats in the House. But talk to us, though, about how they ought to be talking about these sets of issues, and how the presidential wannabes ought to be talking about these sets of issues.
KR: Well, I do think that candidates, well first of all, let's step back even further. Think about this. The new Fox Poll, the President's approval, now maybe I'm going to be a little bit off on these numbers, I think the question of handling of the Iraq, how do you, do you approve or disapprove of the President's handling of Iraq is like 37/60, 37 approve, 60 oppose. On the other hand, do you approve or disapprove of the air strikes in Iraq, it is the opposite. It flips. It is 65% favor the air strikes in Iraq, 30%, 31% oppose them. Now this says to me that the condition that we faced in the Bush years is still present today, that is to say if you say to the American people we are going to use America's might and power on behalf of a specific purpose, because of the following reasons, that the American people have a tendency to support the action of a president. I mean, this president has done a lousy job of explaining why we have F-16's being launched from, ironically enough, the George H. W. Bush, striking targets in Northern and Northwest Iraq. He's just has done a lousy job of it. You cannot tell me that it makes sense, oh, we launched those because we've got personnel in Irbil.
HH: Right.
KR: If that was the reason, remove them from Irbil. If you're worried about their security, then get them out of there. Oh, we're doing this because of humanitarian things, and no, no, no, you're doing this to degrade a terrorist organization that is worse than any that we have seen, and has a power and a strength and a professionalism that makes every other terrorist apparatus look smaller and less dangerous by comparison. And the President ought to be out there talking about this in moral terms, and in practical terms about what it means for the interest of the United States.
HH: Last question, Karl Rove. In a sweeping interview that David Remnick did with him in January, President Obama referred to IS as the jayvees putting on Kobe's jersey, issuing, really, one of the most fundamental misapprehensions of reality that I think has come out in direct quotes from the Oval Office ever. Do you think that is solvable? Can he wake up to this before it's the kind of wake up that the country got sadly on 9/11?
KR: I hope so. I'm not confident that he will, and you saw the reaction from people inside the intelligence community. I heard it back then. We saw it recently when the outgoing head of the Defense Intelligence Agency basically blasted the President, very unusual…
HH: Michael Flynn, yeah.
KR: Yeah, Michael Flynn, and blasted the President, and blasted the people around the President. I don't understand why the President said that. I just, it is beyond me. It goes back to the question that you raised earlier, is Krauthammer right, we lack a strategy, or is Cheney right that he doesn't do his work, he doesn't read his intelligence briefings. And I think unfortunately, it's both. And we saw it there. The President had a lack of understanding about the threat represented by ISIS, and we now know he was ignoring specific counsel from the intelligence community that this was a dangerous group gaining strength and influence, and representing a real threat to America's interests.
HH: Karl Rove, always bracing. www.rove.com, and follow him on Twitter, @KarlRove. I hope when you see your former boss that you nudge him towards the public stage, maybe after November rather than before it, but sometime soon. Karl, thank you, always a pleasure.
KR: Thank you, Hugh.
End of interview.

Skyway 8: Back-room deals, spin as turbine numbers climb
The Skyway 8 Project in Southgate Township, County of Grey, presently owned by Capstone Infrastructure, has been a myriad of confusing and secret deals as well as a debacle of onus ownership.
The five 95-meter turbines totalling 9.8 MW and transformer(s) are well within Grey County and Southgate's borders yet the township of Melancthon had more correspondence, updates and notifications with the proponents than either Grey County or Southgate township. In fact, an invitation to a BBQ celebrating the end of construction was on the Melancthon council agenda June 5, 2014. Nowhere was it found in any newspaper in Southgate nor mentioned at Southgate council or on their website. The power lines from the transformer(s) were supposedly buried on a little used portion of the Melancthon 260 road allowance in order to join up with a HONI less than four miles away.
A document produced by the Grey County TAPS (Transportation and Public Safety) Committee dated December 19, 2013, said oversized and overload permits had not been submitted, two entrances on Grey Rd. 8 must be reduced to the required size/width by the proponent post construction, and there would be no request to install power transition equipment within the Grey County. This document went to county council and was passed as resolution CC12-14 on January 9, 2013.
The two entrances off Grey Road 8 have not been reduced and a washed away south east corner of Grey Rd. 8 & Southgate Road 10 has not been repaired. Some time ago I contacted the CAO of Grey County with no response, and twice to the CAO and the Public Works Manager (PWM) of Southgate Township. I received a reply from the PWM that he would contact the county CAO. To date no further correspondence has been received.
The transformer that was specifically not to be in Grey County is indeed well within the boundaries of Southgate Township, a municipality of Grey County. An electrical worker on the transformers was asked why the need for transformers of this size when there are only five turbines. The worker replied "Five? There's a whole lot more than five turbines coming."
This is an area which has declared itself an unwilling host.
The original application to the MoE, granted September 29, 2011, approved 103 – 105 dBA for the turbines and 67 dBA for the transformer. That was amended July 29, 2013 to increase the dBA for the transformer to 94 dBA. Both dBA allowing for the cooling fan noise.
In an article published in the Dundalk Herald September 17, 2014, the author says Samsung is planning 65 more turbines. He also says the project was received with broad acceptance by local residents and municipal council. One wonders why then there are three For Sale signs and one For Rent sign nearby. He does not stipulate which municipal council. Melancthon was a willing host at the time of negotiations.
One land owner that has two of the turbines and is eagerly waiting for approval of the 65 larger turbines planned as he has signed up for more was interviewed. He also has solar panels and is paid 80 cents per kilowatt under the FIT program. He says the money is secondary. A neighbour of his who signed up three years ago for a turbine and is also waiting for the next phase said "the people who protest the loudest are people who live outside the area." He went on to say that "the people that are protesting are ones that can't get one." A pat answer we have heard time and time again by the proponent's script writers.
The neighbour also mentioned in the interview a petition she started that was in favour of the project and had 100 signatures. In fact, it was an online survey with approximately 75 signatures, the majority of whom not only don't live in the area but do not reside in Canada. A legal survey which was signed by over 720 residents of Southgate were not in favour of IWT's was presented to Southgate council in March. Pecuniary interests were not declared at Southgate council even though at least one incumbent has recently admitted he is getting 28 turbines on 14 farms he owns during the next phase.
Needless to say, the upcoming municipal election is clearly about "Trusted, Timely Transparent Decision Making."
Louise Morfitt Hall is a resident of Southgate, and is running for council in the municipal election, October 27

April 16, 2013 10:00 ET
ROCHESTER, NY--(Marketwired - Apr 16, 2013) - NaturalNano, Inc. (OTCBB: NNAN) (www.naturalnano.com) announced that Dr. Michael King, of Cornell University, published his most recent study featuring the use of NaturalNano's Halloysite Natural Tubes (HNT) in Journal of Nanomaterials (http://www.hindawi.com/journals/jnm/si/895020/).
The Study demonstrated that the capture of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in blood can be targeted more effectively by the incorporation of HNT onto the surface of devices used for the capture of CTCs in blood. King's Lab has been developing new methods for the isolation of intact, viable cancer cells from patient blood, based on the physiological adhesion of selectin proteins in micro-scale flow devices.
Here is a link to the freely accessible paper:
Dr. King, a Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Cornell University, states, "The ability to create stable coatings of HNT using an extremely thin layer of poly-L-lysine allows the creation of nanostructured surfaces to which living cells respond. The Microtubes with HNT incorporated onto their surface were found to enhance the natural CTC's rolling mechanism allowing the target cells to be exposed to specific therapeutic agents or isolated and collected for diagnostic and research purposes."
James Wemett, NaturalNano CEO, said, "We are pleased to have our HNT technology used in Dr. King's important work and to be featured in the Journal of Nanomaterials. We look forward to the further use of HNT in medical applications."
NaturalNano, Inc. (OTCBB: NNAN) is a materials science company focused on developing and commercializing advanced nanocomposites. The Company is focused on additive technologies and processes, including its proprietary Pleximer that adds value to industrial polymers, plastics and composites. NaturalNano holds and/or licenses 10 patents and applications relating to Halloysite, as well as proprietary know-how for its extraction and separation processes, compositions, and derivatives. www.naturalnano.com

How can I highlight search terms in the search result, no matter where those terms appear within the document? For example, a search for the word "highlight" on the perlfect site: http://perlfect.com/freescripts/search/ gives 3 results, all with the relevant terms displayed. However, most sites that use perlfect do not have this feature. For example, a search for "highlight" at: http://www.acky.net/ displays only the first few lines of each document, and not the relevant terms.

I don't know about everyone else, but this changeable weather is driving me crazy!! It's so hard to know what to wear when it's sunny one minute and raining the next! I have been living in this long line coat from H&M since picking it up a few weeks ago and I thought I'd share it here today, as it's such a great transitional piece.
I teamed it with a pair of Zara skinny jeans and a fine knit from H&M and managed to snap a few photos during a brief sunny spell!
The jacket is so easy to wear and it instantly dresses up a casual outfit. I think it would be lovely over a shorter dress or skirt too and I'm looking forward to styling it in different ways over the summer.
I can't find the exact coat online but here's a similar style from Vero Moda on ASOS.
My shoes are from Penneys last year (well worn!) and the bag is Caterina Lucchi at Clerys.
Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend!

This tile is a doutangle with Phicops and Huggins. I decided to try to connect the two tangles by 'growing' the lines for Huggins out of Phicops. Then I had fun embellishing the two patterns.
Before shading. And you'll note that I felt that the lower left corner seemed too empty so I added a little printemps.
Just the linework here. Here you can see how I grew the lines for Huggins out of the points of Phicops. (Sorry it wouldn't rotate like the other pictures.)

The Heavens above have been kinder to these and the plant is being forgiving of my neglect. Soon as I spotted the tiny leaf that sprouted, which will eventually shield the blossom and later fruits, I took a little more care of the plant. With so much neglect, I am grateful that there will be about twenty fruits on final count. Meanwhile, the blossom had started to drop a few layers indicating that it is ready for use and these will not become fruits. I do not know what variety of banana this would be nor did I know if the blossom will be good enough to cook. I removed it from the tree and it was a fresh and nice one. So I acted upon it quickly chopping the blossom.
There were many layers within that I have had to reserve half of it for later use. With the fresh first half I made these vadais. I had read two different recipes in two cookery books I have; however, when I did cook them, I followed neither of them; this one is a recipe that I mixed and matched ingredients from the lists in both, added some others on a hunch, and the resultant vadais turned out quite nicely. They were more kebabs/ cutlets textured, slightly crisp on the outside and a softer inside.
Vazhai Poo Vadai:
The following recipe yields 12 vadais
1 cup chopped banana blossom *(cleaning and chopping tips given below)
1/4 cup roasted gram (pottukadalai/ porikadalai)
2 tablespoons channa dhal
1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/4 teaspoon asafoetida powder
1/3 cup fresh and grated coconut
1 medium red onion chopped finely
1"piece ginger chopped
4 numbers fresh green chillis chopped finely
3 dry red chillis
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
2 sprigs curry leaves
A small bunch of fresh coriander leaves
Salt to taste
Oil for deep frying
Preparing the banana blossom: *(Cleaning and chopping)
The pink violet banana blssom is actually not a flower by itself. It contains many layers of neat rows of small yellow flowers. Each row is protectively covered by petals that change in colour from a deep pink to tender yellow as it gets closer to the core.
This vegetable tends to have an astringent taste inclining towards bitterness, yet very delicious when cooked.
You might apply oil on your fingers and the knife, use a paper to protect your board unless you are prepared to work hard removing the black and sticky stain that the vegetable will leave behind.
Keep a bowl with water that has some curd / yoghurt mixed to it to drop the chopped vegetable in. The yoghurt prevents discolouring of the cut mass.
Remove first three to four layers of petals and the mature flowers on the top and discard.
The following inner layers hold many tiny flowers. Remove them gently and give a gentle brush on the top to open them up. You will spot the stamen in there. Pull it out from each of the flower. These may cause your end product to become bitter if left within.
Once the stamen has been removed, chop the remaining flowers and drop them in the bowl of water.
As you work deeper into the flower, the colour turns pale and yellow, the stamen is not as hard, still present. Remove them as many as you can. leaving a few of these inner most are okay as they do not taste bitter.
Keep the chopped blossom well immersed in water - yoghurt solution. They oxidize pretty quickly when exposed.
Once done with the chopping, rinse them thoroughly,in few changes of water. Place them in a cooking bowl with little water and turmeric powder, Steam until the vegetable is just about done. Drain the water and keep aside.
Meanwhile wash the channa dhal well and soak in water for about 30 minutes.
Reserve half of the chopped onions and green chillis to add to the batter later.
Grind all of them together just until combined. Use water only if absolutely necessary. The resultant batter shall be rather stiff than soggy.
Transfer from the grinder jar to a bowl. Mix the onions, green chillis that you reserved earlier, salt, asafoetida, fennel seeds, chopped curry leaves and, chopped coriander leaves. Mix well whisking with your hand. The batter now will be thick enough to hold by hand and roll in a soft ball that can be flattened. It is alright if cracks appear as you flatten. Gently press the batter around the cracks and smooth them out.
Keep the oil for frying on the stove.
When the oil is hot, bring the heat to medium high and slide two or three of the flattened vadais in the oil.
Deep fry tossing them around in the oil until well done all over. Remove from the oil using a slotted ladle onto kitchen tissues to drain residual oil.
I personally like the vegetable cooked as paruppu usli combined with lentils, but these were surely a very welcome change to be consumed warm on a dull and wet with rain day.

While I was on vacation in Barcelona just a couple of weeks ago, the string holding my camera suddenly tore and the camera dropped to the floor. Unlucky for me - the screen broke. This of course was very upsetting as I love to take lots and lot's of pictures when I'm traveling. So we ended up buying a small not too expensive camera to use for the rest of the trip and came home with many beautiful pictures of Barcelona which I promise to share in one of my next posts.
However, this was not the end of the story. The broken camera is the same camera I use to photograph my jewelry. It is one I picked after careful examination and found to be best for my needs. Needless to say the the new camera could not replace this one for my business purposes. So I took the camera to a lab to fix and am now waiting for a part to arrive which will take about a month!!!
Of course this is the worst time in the world for me to be without a camera, with the holidays just around the corner and many new items just waiting to be photographed and listed in my store. Lucky for me I have some great friends that came to the rescue and lent me their camera to use until mine is fixed. So these are some of the picture I took with it:

"Quiereme Mucho" was originally titled "Serenata Criolla" (or "Serenata Cubana") and was released in the former missing Havana Theater "Alhambra", as part of the play "El Servicio Militar Obligatorio", in 1915.
The duo that performed it in the play were Blanca Becerra and Rafael Llorens.
Gonzalo Roig wrote the music and two prestigious Cuban authors were in charge of its lyrics. Ramon R. Gollury, who signed with the alias of Roger de Lauria, wrote the first part; whereas Agustin Rodriguez, the popular comedian of "Marti Theater", was in charge of the second.
Tenor Mariano Melendez was in 1917 the first to sing Gonzalo Roig's "Quiereme Mucho", as a complete song that already belongs to the soul of many countries, because singers from all over the world have made it their own.
Maybe Mariano Melendez was the first performer of the song, but the first recording by Mariano Melendez I could find is from end 1924 early 1925, with an orchestra directed by Jaime Pratts, who also played piano
Released on Pathe 06637.
Tito Schipa was actually the first artist to record the song in 1923.

English Premier league side, Everton have announced the signing of Democratic Republic of Congo international, Yannick Bolasie, from Crystal Palace for an undisclosed fee.
The 27-year-old agreed a five-year deal to move to Goodison Park. He becomes the fourth senior signing of the summer transfer window for manager Ronald Koeman.
"I'm looking forward to putting on the Everton shirt," Bolasie told evertonfc.com.
For me, it was a no-brainer to come here. But now that I've come to Everton, the job is not done. I've got to work hard and feel my way in. I'm ready and up for the challenge.

"This is a big club and I know all about it from having played against them over the years. For me, it was a no-brainer to come here. But now that I've come to Everton, the job is not done. I've got to work hard and feel my way in. I'm ready and up for the challenge," he said.
Bolaise joins Everton after four seasons with Crystal Palace, who he joined from Bristol City in August 2012. He has scored nine times and had 13 assists in the 90 appearances he has made in the Premier League.
His new manager said he was delighted to complete a deal for the attacking midfielder, who he believes will further strengthen Everton side as they compete in the new league season.
Everton started the new season with a one-all draw against Tottenham Hotspurs. Bolasie came on as a subsititute in Palaces's match day one fixture which they lost by a goal to West Bromwich Albion.

- Quencee Delos Reyes' body was found on a highway last Sunday, August 7
- His brother quickly made an appeal on social media, seeking justice for her death
- Police investigations led them to the house of Macalalad where they found incriminating evidence
Several days have passed since the brother of Quencee Delos Reyes, Carl Jethro, posted an appeal on Facebook, asking the help of FB users to find the killer of his 29-year-old sister.
The body of Delos Reyes was found right beside the highway, wrapped in a sack, showing signs of brutality in the hands of a heartless suspect.

Police operatives from the Socorro MPS immediately sprang into action when the crime was brought to their attention. Led by PINSP Almeranez, Socorro MPS conducted interviews with people who can possibly provide them with solid information on the crime.
The Socorro MPS also did some profiling, which eventually led them to the house of James Leo Macalalad, who also happens to be a barangay councilor in San Vicente, Calapan City.
The suspect was not at home when they visited his house, but he voluntarily went to the station when he found out that the Socorro MPS were looking for him.
Playing the role of a cooperative suspect, he told the police that he is willing to cooperate and to offer help in any way he can.

Thereafter, the police did an ocular inspection of his house and found incriminating evidence.
On the bed were blood stains, which the suspect might have even attempted to remove. There were also blood splatters on the walls of Macalalad's room.
It was just last Sunday, August 7, when Quencee's body was found at the side of the highway. Upon identification, his brother immediately sought help in identifying the assailant behind her death.

Two Leashes
This morning in my pre-coffee daze, I neglected to grab my dual leash for my dogs. Instead, I grabbed them each their separate personal leashes and got them ready for their morning walk. I always use the dual leash for walks; if you ever tried to walk two dogs without one, you'd easily figure out why it is nice to have a dual leash. No tangles. No tripping. Smooth sailing with the canines and God.
As I walked to the next block, I realized that I had forgotten the dual leash, but I also realized that the dogs were still walking as if they were using the dual leash. In using the dual leash for years, they developed a habit. They were trained. The dogs knew the path to walk. They knew their limitations. They knew the distances they needed to be located. They had it all memorized. It became a way of life.
In this same way, as we continue to drown ourselves in the Word of God and aim to live it out, we find ourselves not having to think so much on some things. It becomes second nature. Spending time daily in the Word helps us navigate our day better understanding true obedience and better discerning the will of God.
Continue to add more time with God and His Word as you go through the week. Start a YouVersion reading plan. Pick up a daily devotion book. Download the Dwell app. Do whatever works for you to hear and read more of God's Word. Take small bites. Enjoy big feasts. Remember, God's Word always produces fruit.
"It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it." – Isaiah 55:11 [NLT]
Deeply Written
When I want to save something to remember, I will write things on my hands or take photos with my phone. As well, I am a frequent user of sticky notes on my computer. Doing these things keeps me on track to remember what needs to be remembered.
The Bible speaks a lot about remembering God's commands. Long ago, the people had their own ways of remembering Scripture. Even their culture was built upon remembering what God had done, as they continued to meet for prayer. They invested time in passing down the sacred text. Even during meal time, they remembered.
Today, we need to be intentional when it comes to guarding God's Word. We need to keep it ever before us, not so as to protect the Bible but to drown ourselves in His Word and treasure it. To have God's Word written deeply in our hearts, we must be constant in the Word. Wake up reading it. Go to sleep reading it. Have it posted and spoken around our home. Have it playing in our ears. Today, ask the Spirit how you can write the Word deep within your heart, where it will be a source of life and a treasure everlasting.
"Obey My commands and live! Guard My instructions as you guard your own eyes. Tie them on your fingers as a reminder. Write them deep within your heart." – Proverbs 7:2-3 [NLT]
Calmed Myself
There are moments in life that certainly cannot be described as calm. Because of my intense energy issues, I invest a lot in an attempt to stay calm. I cannot have a lot of noise and light stimulation due to my diagnosis. I cannot have a lot of sugar or caffeine. Along with the removal of some items, I also have things I do in my life to help remove that extra crazy energy. I drink calming herbal teas like teas with chamomile and tension taming tea. I exercise, taking daily walks and using my Fit Board. I put on calming music. I use candles. Above all, I read God's Word.
The Psalmist wrote about calming and quieting himself. This means that he slowed down and quieted his mind. As the Psalmist wrote, "My soul waits in silence for my God only" (62:1 NASB). This is something that we have to be intentional with to accomplish. We don't naturally walk around calmed and quieted. In the age of social media and handheld technology, the world doesn't really allow us to walk around like this because it's wild and busy 24/7. As well, even if our minds have not been rewired from the new tech advancements, our minds have wandered for many years prior.
Today, take some time to calm yourself so that you can hear God speak. Find a quiet place to sit with God's Word. Don't feel pressured to speak. Open His Word. Read. Allow yourself to sit in silence with God. It is during these moments when we are able to hear the whisper of the One with the still small voice.
"Instead, I have calmed and quieted myself, like a weaned child who no longer cries for its mother's milk. Yes, like a weaned child is my soul within me." – Psalm 131:2 [NLT]
No Signals
I was driving my son to the dentist when the truck in front of my van suddenly slowed down, but there were no brake lights. As we got to the fork in the road, the turn signal apparently didn't work either. Without the signals, driving is not as easy. The signals are a way for drivers of the vehicles to communicate to each other. This makes it clear as to the direction the drivers are taking, and when a vehicle is slowing down or stopping.
Signals are nice. I prefer signals. In life, we have signals for driving. We also have signals (or warnings) when the stove burners are still on (or hot) or when bad weather is approaching. There are other signals too, signals that we have from reading God's Word. As we read the Bible, we receive the Word of God. The Holy Spirit will remind us of His Word as we do life. We will better know how to navigate in life when we are receptive to Him. We will know when to turn, when to hit the brakes, and when we are off course.
Today, dig into God's Word. Understand that if you aren't in His Word, the Spirit cannot remind you of what you received. Often we say God is silent, but we don't intentionally pursue Him. God is not hiding my friend. If you want to know Him, seek Him. If you want to know His will for your life, walk with Him. Spend time in His presence. Sit with Him. Converse with Him. Engage with Him. Seek and you will find.
"You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart." – Jeremiah 29:13 [NIV]
Strong Vines
As I was trying to prepare the flower beds for Fall, I made yet another attempt to tear out the vines that are planted in many areas of my yard. These vines drive me crazy every time I take the effort to remove them. If you are not familiar with vines, you do not understand the nuisance it is to remove them. You begin to pull some of the vine, but soon realize you are not close to the root. Instead, you are pulling different strands of new growth, connected to other growth. It's hard to even pull anything out because everything grows connected and is bound together underground, connected with the strong root. The root system keeps me from ever getting rid of the vines.
Imagine now how Jesus speaks of our need to abide in Him. He promises if we abide in Him, He will abide in us (John 15:4). He is our strong root system, our foundation. Paul wrote that we should let our "roots grow down into Him." If we are rooted with Him, we are like those vines with the strong root, that is difficult to move. When we are rooted in Christ, our "faith will grow strong." When we are rooted in Christ, we "overflow with thankfulness."
Ask the Spirit to reveal to you your root system. If you are unsure if you are abiding in Him, consider how much time you devote to prayer, Bible reading and Bible study, and walking in the will of God. If these things sound foreign, or if these things are not of most importance on your list of priorities, it is time to start reviewing your list. Look at what you are trying to grow. Look at where you are investing yourself. Do you want to live a life growing with the strong vine, or are you trying to grow yourself to build yourself up? You'll find that the little sprouts are easy to pull from the ground, very different from the strong rooted vines. Don't live like a little sprout.
"Let your roots grow down into Him, and let your lives be built on Him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness." – Colossians 2:7 [NLT]
Grass Clipping
I have a lot of OCD tendencies. When it comes to the lawn, I like the grass to be cut weekly. In my opinion, there is an acceptable height to the blades of grass. If the grass is not clipped at the right time, it will continue to grow unattended and then there's overgrowth. On my walk with the dogs, I always come upon a lawn that is overgrown. The owners let the grass grow unattended for weeks. By the time the lawn is cared for, there is grass growing over the footpath.
Just as we need to clip our fingernails, get a haircut, and brush our teeth, so we need to care for our yardwork, cleaning, and laundry. But it doesn't end there!! We cannot forget our spiritual health. Our spiritual health needs attention. God is great at pruning. As you walk with Him, He will continue to prune you and help you to grow the way He always intended. Our part in all of this is to dive deep into His Word. We cannot become dull. Continue to take in God's Word. Write it on your heart. Allow it to reveal to you our heavenly Father. It's all about knowing God.
As you desire to know God more, as you continue to read His Word and follow His will, He will continue to prune and grow you. Listen closely to His voice. Remember when He asks you to loosen your grip on something, it is because it is for your best. Every clip. Every snip. Every word. It's all for your very best.
"Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit." – John 15:2 [ESV]
Embrace the Timing of God
Lately I need to be even more patient than usual. That's difficult for me. It took long enough for me to get the patience I have—and now I have to be even more patient?!? Things take longer than I ever could imagine. Things aren't as simple as I first considered. The struggle is real. You know what I mean? I'm sure you are patiently waiting for this devotion to end (let's hope not because I didn't even share what God has shown me). Perhaps you are recollecting your drive home or the long line at the supermarket. A half hour ago, I waited 4 minutes for a red light. FOUR MINUTES!!
Despite my love of not waiting, I have learned to embrace God's timing. Oftentimes, this means that I must make good use of that patience He has taught me over the years. Usually it means I will be stretched to the max, growing in patience or falling while pulling out my hair asking God what is taking so long. The truth is, I embrace God's timing because I have realized He has the best plan. He has showed me how extra time brings everything in line the way He orchestrated. Waiting on His timing allows for people to step up that He positioned to rise. Waiting on His timing gives me the opportunity to see Him move in mighty ways. Embracing the timing of God is a walk in faith and it produces great fruit. Plus, I have proven time and time again that my timing is HORRIBLE!!
Today, you might not know what God is doing. You may even say He is silent or absent. I can promise you that He is not absent. He promises not to leave or forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:8). God is always moving too, so if you think He's silent, it's quite possible that you aren't listening. I have many times found myself guilty of not taking a pause in life to listen to our heavenly Father. Take the time today. Pray. Read His Word. Simply sit still. Embrace His timing. Carve out some time to rest and listen. Wait for the Lord. Wait for the Lord.
"Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord." – Psalm 27:14 [NIV]

The 2014 McDonald's All American High School Boys and Girls basketball teams were announced Wednesday and the Lone Star State dominated the selections for a second consecutive year. Five Texans were among the 24 boys picked to play in the game at Chicago's United Center on April 2nd. Four Texas girls were chosen for their game played on the same night and venue.
ESPN will televise the boys' game pitting the East versus the West at 8:30 p.m. Central time. The girls contest will be carried by ESPNU at 6:00 p.m.
Houston area selections included: Justin Jackson, a 6' 7" Forward from Homeschool Christian in Tomball, Justice Winslow, a 6' 6" Forward from St. Johns High School and Kelly Oubre from Richmond, who is playing at Findlay College Prep after starring last year for the Fort Bend Bush Broncos.

The Monsua Nebula was a nebula in Moddell sector between Inner Zuma and the area known as Wild Space. A large core of blue giants and brown dwarfs produced high levels of radiation in the nebula. The radiation made Monsua almost unnavigable and impossible to scan, making it home to heavy pirate activity in the decade preceding the Clone Wars. Even during the early years of the New Republic, Monsua remained uncharted and its stars unnamed beyond the alphanumeric codes assigned millennia earlier by the Old Republic.

For us, December is a month where we really enjoy our candles, starting with the first candle in the Advent wreath. This photo is from right after we light the 4th Advent candle, plus the many others! The white pillar candles we decorated with colored sheet wax during a craft activity at one of the churches.
This is the first year we have had lights on our tree here and I have really enjoyed it! Lights in the home for decoration are not typical here - candles are still preferred! You will notice that the tree is cut in such a way to make room for the candles on the ends of each level. The first few stores we looked at, lights were about 50 Euros so I was thinking that lights weren't going to happen, but then I tried a discount store from a big chain and they had these for a price I could bear. This really is the nicest tree we have ever had - we have purple, red and gold decorations, lots of hanging chocolates, purple candles, a red topper and a few other odds and ends of special ornaments, and lots of goodies all wrapped up underneath!
My son and I - so very happy to be together on Christmas Eve!
In the afternoon, we took a walk along the river. The temperature today is fairly mild for December, which is good because my son has been running night fevers and the cold weather gets him coughing. But today was a good day for a walk. We like to look for ducks and usually see one or two. Today we saw over 24 ducks... and a swan! My son was most thrilled with the Christmas swan and took many photos - thank goodness for digital cameras or else, in the old days, that would be an entire roll of film!
In the early evening on Christmas Eve, we leave the house and Christkind brings presents. In Austria, there is no Santa Claus, but rather an angel who brings the presents. It is a bit of a challenge to get everyone out of the house at a certain time, so a neighbor can bring the presents from Christkind into the house! Then all the presents are opened. I love it that my son stopped mid-presents to try on his new house slippers that I knit for him. He is really appreciative of every present. A funny thing - one of my sisters sent him a fleece jacket that she smooshed into a zip lock bag so it would fit into my suitcase. He even likes that zip lock bag! Perfect for storing Lego bits in, you know?
Speaking of Legos - my lovely boy. Here he is excited to get a box of Lego pieces from Christkind. This year Christkind's paper was blue.
In the evening we had DH's favorite Christmas Eve meal - meat fondu. Steak, chicken and pork, plus salads, sides, and bread. I also set out carrot sticks, pickles and sliced pears. With lots of candles. We wound down with watching Home Alone and then went to bed... because... well - even if Santa isn't traditional in Austria, he does make a special detour to our home! :)
Personally, when I was growing up, my stocking was always a favorite gift, and I think the same goes for my son. I love this photo - don't you love how kids wake up and run to see if Santa has come? Santa always brings a stuffed animal, chocolate and one "big" gift, plus all those odd bits like toothbrush & paste, chapstick, flashlight, etc. That stocking comes in useful! See that Lindt chocolate bear - Gummi Bear sued and won the rights, so Lindt can't make the bear anymore but if I tell him that - he will never eat it. So, shhhh. He hardly eats candy anyway, so if it is still left by mid-January for our Snowman party, we will melt it (and all the other left-over Christmas chocolates) in the chocolate fondu pot for dessert with pound cake, bananas and strawberries!
So, Christmas continues... why rush it - my son is growing up so fast! Today... Lego marathon (because that is what Santa brought, did you guess?), left-overs, the last day of Christmas music over the radio, and candles. A peaceful, stress-free day. Wishing all my family, friends and blog readers the same.

Disclosure: I received sample products for review. However, all opinions are my own.
Awhile back I was approached about reviewing products from MyCoolingStore.com. I received a few sample products to try, all which seem to be okay at cooling, but my favorite by far is the O2 Cool Mist N' Sip Bottle.
The O2 Cool Mist N' Sip Bottle is great while walking or biking. It has been extreme hot here in the South and this handy bottle comes in handy. I filled my with bottled drinking water and ice cubes to keep me cooled down while in the garden or kitchen. It's also great a night when I have night sweats or hot flashes.
Right now the O2 Cool Mist N' Sip Bottle is on sale for $9.99 which is a great bargain. It's available is blue. Be sure to visit their website for more great products to keep you cooled off.
You can also connect with them on FB and Twitter.
