The sub- ject of "Dairy Cows n came ill for a considerable share of attention. We give a brief abstract of the proceedings upon this topic: , TheBev. W. F. Clark gave an address on dairy breeds of cattle. He referred to the importance of dairy cattle pro- ducing a large and,long-continued now of milk, remarking mat this quality was obtained by artificial means, as the cow naturally would supply only suffi- cient to giveiher progeny a start in life, going dry for the greater part of the year. Short-horns, Devons. and some others, were bred mainly for beef ^while the Ayrshires, Jerseys and the' Dutch Holsteinsare cultivated for producing milir. He gave a description of the different breeds, with comparisons, Showing very evidently tnat the Ayrshire breed were the moat profitable milkers, giving a large yield for the quantity Of food. . ^ Xv. The Hon. Harris Lewis said that he rreed in the main with Mr. Clark; is conclusions were,- that, while th6 Ayrshire would generally yield more milk- butter and cheese than any other breeds, with the same amount of food, t&ere wa& a strain of Short-horn? that; would produce" more milM^ butter, cheese aiid-beef, with the; same amoun| of food. Mr. C. W. Horr, af :OhioT forwarded a valuable papery which was read by Mr. Fariington.1' It established, by numerous stHking ^illustrations, that many dairy-farmters, with, increased" skill in the; sel^tiPn of /datfy cow^. time increase.the fertility of their land. Poor cowsiwere dear at any price, while really good ones were never bought too -dear.

These factories receive :from 5,000 to 30,000 pounds of milk per?dayf dpwn from 75,000. cpwa#^ This milk i» made into butter and) cheese,,which sis sold, in all of the; American njarkets j at remunerative prices.^ , A few years £go there was l)ut one crekmery west of the lakes-, which was erected at Elgin in 1870, now they are scattered all over our brOad prairies, and the cry is still they coifte, for the people find that it is a paying business, and they .most naturally take to any calling that will pay themi A few years agp cheese made at, El- gin was placed in. boxes, shipped to New York (Herkimer ,,county) .there branded as Herkimer ; county cheese and then distributed to the trade; So' with Elgin butter; only it was branded Orange county. But a change has been wrought, and even now New. York dealers are anxious to gfet butter:and -cheese made at Elgin and branded as such, because our people have learned, to make good goods,,and are willing to sell. them on their merits. And we have learned that if we want an in- creased flow of .milk we mustifeed, and we do that with a liberality amounting almost to prodigality in the estimation of eastern dairymen. We feed, be- cause our land produces abundantly,- and we find ,it cheaper to send our grain and Jbay to market in butter and cheese than to ship it in bulk, and by so doing we are beating those monopo- lies called railroads. On the Elgin board of trade last year (1877) we sola 6,63©,386 pounds of cheeset and 1,174,385 pounds of butter, which amounted to $1,059,085;08. The highest price paid for cheese during the year was 13 cents, Lipte lowest price 7 cents. The highest price for butter, was 40 cents; the lowest 22cents. , , Beside this there iis at' Elgin a milk condensing factory which uses from 1,800 to 2,000 gallons ot milk per day, and from what figures I can gather I think it is safe to say that in the terri- tory tributary to Elgin there-is from $2,500,000 to $3,000;000lpaid out annually; for milk, butter^ cheese,> ftnd factory; fixtures. . j ■ r ij ■ -a - i Taking these figures as a basis of the business, it is safe to;say that the gfeat state of Illinois, which., is teeming with industries of all kinds, should be proud ' of ; Elgin and her magnifipent dairy in? terests. There'is no guess work about these figures, in nearly'all cases they are ac~ curate to a cent andto apounch and I am willing they should go abroad, even to the world and speak in language more forcibly than I can of the great, industry A^hich. is giving Elgin a nam? and a fame which has already become world-wide. Gentlemen may assume that tfe have reached a limit beyond which we; cannot profitably go in the manufac- ture of butter and cheese, but I am of the opinion that so long,as we produce a merchantable article, we Caimot ei~ ceed that limit. With £fty milliona Of Americans, and, the World as «con- sumers we need not fear over-produc- tionv especially of first-class goods. Of course if we produce0 an inferior article r-we may reach a1 point when the daily, business willcease to; be remunerallye.*.

Lady with Roses
(original sold, thank you Molly! – prints available here)
I finished the bulk of this painting while both the babies were sleeping, a blissful time, should've been sleeping, but art time is needed too. I don't get much of it nowadays.
Here are some more detail shots:

You realize you ought not blame your business. Technically, that you do not desire a 1031 exchange firm to take care of the exchange. If you're beginning a brand new company or are looking to transfer your active enterprise the newest workplace you choose is essential. The drugstore organization is extremely downturn -insensitive. While the organization has existed for over 100 years, many shops are just 5-10 years old. Such companies make buying qualities much easier, as you will no longer result in handling the many troubles of one's tenants. The property management firm will need care of the investment, the maintenance, the tenants and all of the concomitant concerns linked to the property.
Key Pieces of Property Management Company
When you have to employ home manager, it also costs more when it comes to portion of the rent to manage residential houses. In case your house manager isn't building these kinds of suggestions perhaps it is time for you to begin buying new home administrator. If you 're wondering just how to choose the right rental property management company in Fort Smith, you've arrived at the best position.
The house supervisor will be the major point of contact between you, whilst the landlord, along with the tenants. The house supervisor will need to evaluate the fiscal and business benefits of all the tenants and establish possible shift -out 's. Employing an expert property director goes quite a distance towards that purpose. A great house administrator will allow you to achieve this goal.
The house manager should be your associate in aiding you drive optimum return on investment and may be shopping for an operator 's desires. So as a good business-person, you would like to make sure the property supervisor has an incentive to accomplish the extra work. Lastly, after you have selected home administrator that matches your preferences and budget, continually be confident to sign a written contract that features the definition of and charge of supervision along with the providers which might be involved.
If you should be focused on the price of house management, have a look at firms offering you useful companies in trade for fair, clear charges. As a result you'll be more likely to have the best value for your home. So, the value of the asset needs to be preserved.
Trust funds should also be transferred with expediency. When it comes to professional real estate investment, shareholders typically need to know which forms of houses they ought to consider purchasing. However, a lot of people aren't alert to the potential difficulties , nor take some time to analyze these concerns before they close escrow. Many people don't just like a shopping center with high vacancy. If you would like a low-risk expenditure, choose Walgreens. So it is nearly impossible to considerably boost the income within a limited time.
If you are willing to perform challenging and take care of your tenants reasonably and tightly, this may be considered a wonderful spot to start your wealth-building approach. Be sure to pick a normal earth tone color which is appealing to prospective tenants. You'll find several tenants available prepared to spend the high rent like Starbucks. Ability to boost lease The tenant has to be recertified annually When The family becomes greater or smaller, it could trigger a reassessment of the living arrangements. A tenant who hires legal counsel will likely locate these specialized errors, in the event the judge doesn't find the errors.
Generally, apartments are easy-to obtain and harder to sell. Furthermore, additionally you desire to examine the rent to income rate. Normally, it could be easier to reduce the lease to 3-5 years. Preferably, you'll need a rental where the tenants buy their share of home administration fee.
As soon as you buy a house, you'll need a great property director to assist boost the book. While supplying the best 7.2% cap, this property seems to be a good expenditure nevertheless it truly gets the highest-risk of underperforming and will be shut down in the foreseeable future. The qualifying home have to be of like- kind. Several properties could have a percentage rent, i.e. the landlord could possibly get additional book when the retailer 's yearly revenue exceeds a specific number, e.g. $5M. The house wouldn't market if listed excessive. Particularly when you've ordered a house with the intent of renting it, you need to be willing to provide a quantity of providers on your tenant.
You do not wish to spend money on this house. Your multifamily house could possibly be the way to obtain an important section or your entire income, in addition to the starting place of a excellent income. It is necessary to invest in the correct house as well as the proper location to meet your investment objectives. This type of home offer strong prospect of gratitude. In addition, should you get a home that will not meet with the new requirements, as an example a-drive -through, you could have an issue acquiring money as lenders are aware of these requirements.

Short update from Amazon's Q4
Amazon's cloud division AWS continues to grow, impressing analysts since Amazon first started breaking out results last spring.
AWS did $2.4 billion revenue in Q4, up from $2.1 billion in Q3.
2015 proved to be a big year for AWS in general as it rolled out:
- 722 new services and features over the course of the year — a 40 percent increase from 2014.
- AWS has expanded to 32 Availability Zones in 12 regions
- Plans to add 5 regions
- 11 additional Availability Zones are scheduled
source: http://www.zdnet.com/article/amazon-q4-2015-earnings-revenue-cloud-prime/
All AWS related quotes from the press release about Q4 on Amazon investor relations page:
- Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced the launch of its Asia Pacific (Seoul) Region in Korea and its plans to open a new region in Canada. The AWS Cloud is now available from 32 Availability Zones across 12 geographic regions worldwide, with another five AWS Regions (and 11 Availability Zones) in Canada, China, India, Ohio, and the U.K. expected to be available in the coming year.
- AWS announced the general availability of Amazon WorkMail, a secure, managed business email and calendaring service with support for existing desktop and mobile email clients.
- AWS announced the general availability of AWS IoT, a managed cloud platform that lets billions of connected devices — such as mobile phones, cars, factory floors, aircraft engines, sensor grids, and more — easily and securely interact with cloud applications and other devices. AWS IoT can support trillions of messages, and can process, route, and keep track of those messages to AWS endpoints and other devices reliably and securely, even when the devices aren't connected.
- AWS announced AWS Certificate Manager (ACM), a new service that enables customers to easily provision, manage, and deploy Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) certificates for use with AWS services. SSL/TLS certificates are used to secure network communications and establish the identity of websites over the Internet. Certificates, which typically cost between $45 and $499, are provided to AWS customers free of charge through ACM and are verified by Amazon's certificate authority, Amazon Trust Services.
- AWS launched EC2 Scheduled Reserved Instances, allowing customers to reserve capacity for their applications that run on a part-time, recurring basis with a daily, weekly, or monthly schedule over the course of a one-year term.
- AWS announced 722 significant new services and features in 2015, a 40% increase over 2014.

I feel like my Menu Monday posts would be better titled "My Busy Life"! Anyway...
This week is really weird... The lad is gone all week with a Civil Air Patrol program in a state in the mid-west. I am following Jenny Craig, eating their meals. So, after conversation, we decided hubby would figure out his own meals. He has not given me a plan. Basically, I have no menu plan this week.
So in the interest of continuity I have decided to post a theoretical menu plan for this week. Here we go:
leftovers from Friday's dinner out
Pool party with small group from church/barbecue pot luck
cheeseburgers, rolls, summer slaw
barbecued chicken on the grill, corn on the cob, green beans (from our garden)
Beef enchiladas, tortilla chips, salad
Salmon, yams, spinach
chicken, rice, broccoli

A mobile bar (really just a billboard that resembles a bar) for any event.
The "Man" has told us that this is not a mobil bar.
Thats right! Coal Creek took the idea of a food truck and married it with a horse trailer. The result, a party that comes to any event that you want. Filled with all that Coal Creek has to offer!
Again not a Bar, just like MatchBox does not make cars. They look like cars but are not.
- Weddings
- Graduations
- Ranch Parties
- Days that end in Y

W mihen voting as a Christian, social values should never be your priority.
In parts one, two & three of the 'Guide To Voting' series, I looked at how to vote from a Christian point of view. When voting as a Christian, social values should never be your priority – Biblical values should always come first. As I write this article, the 2017 General Election in the UK (which I used as a backdrop to 'A Guide To Voting – Part Three') has just taken place and has highlighted some issues which are worth exploring.
We have an obligation and a responsibility to vote.
Firstly, let's look at the importance of actually voting at all. As Christians, or indeed even just as citizens of democratic countries, we have an obligation and a responsibility to vote. Previous generations fought and died in World War II so that we would be able to vote for our own government and not to be ruled by Germany (I am writing from a British point of view). Countless numbers of our friends from America also gave their lives for this. But that is not all. At the beginning of the 20th Century, women were not entitled to vote and many fought hard over a long period of time to gain that right. The right to vote should never be taken lightly, and yet, when you look at voting statistics it appears that many have taken it lightly – as least in the United Kingdom (I cannot speak for other countries). The recent election in the UK resulted in a significant increase in the vote for the socialist Labour Party. Apparently a very large part of this was because the Labour Party leader, Jeremy Corbyn, managed to get the young people of the country – who had not previously taken voting very seriously – to not just vote, but to vote for his party.
If your reason to vote is because you get offered a bribe, that is a pretty poor reason to vote for someone.
So what was it that encouraged a generation of people to vote? A generation that was not persuaded by their predecessors' suffering and dying to both get, and keep, the right to vote. The answer is a sad one – the thing that seems to have convinced large numbers of young people to vote, who had not previously bothered to vote (plus persuaded those who were previously too young) was a big fat bribe. This bribe came in the form of free university places. If your reason to vote is because you get offered a bribe, that is a pretty poor reason to vote for someone. In fact, it should be viewed as a very big warning sign. The fact that the UK, like the US and many other countries, has large levels of debt and cannot afford to finance free university places and all the other things the Labour Party was offering did not seem to matter. Everything that was offered was financed by a magical money tree. Or in reality, it was financed in the typical socialist way – more borrowing and higher taxes for all but working class people. The story of Robin Hood is a great English legend, but his tactics of robbing the rich to give to the poor are not a fair way to run a tax system. In fact, Robin Hood politics are one of the foundations of Communism – "Workers of the world, unite"!
As Christians, we should never just hope that we make the right decision. We should know that we are making the right decision.
If you are a young person and what I have written here does not apply to you, that's great – things like this are never true for everyone. If however, what I have written has touched a nerve, rather than get offended I encourage you to look into whether there is any truth in what I have said. I heard it said recently that it doesn't matter who you vote for, as long as you vote. That sounds great, but actually it does matter. Non-Christians may sometimes be clueless when it comes to how to vote; but for Christians we have the Holy Spirit within us, we have the Bible to guide us, and we can listen to and discern what the different political parties are saying and what their core values are. All of this should enable us to make an informed decision as to how to vote. As Christians, we should never just hope that we make the right decision, we should not voting in the dark. We should know that we are making the right decision. My article, '6 Reasons Why God Is Not A Liberal', looked at why any party with predominately liberal values is the wrong choice for a Christian. That alone should narrow down your voting options!
When a liberal insults someone in this way, there is a good chance that the person or people in question have good Biblical values.
In 'A Guide To Voting – Part Three', I showed how you will often see different groups of people with ungodly values congregating together in an election. The outcome of the recent UK election has highlighted that this also works on the positive side. The Conservative Party, although being by far the largest party in the UK Parliament, did not secure an overall majority. This meant that it needed to work with another party, and the obvious choice was immediately apparent – the Democratic Unionist Party of Northern Ireland. During a news programme after the election I heard someone from the very liberal Green Party, refer to the DUP as 'bigots and homophobes'. This immediately got my interest, because when a liberal insults someone in this way, there is a good chance that the person or people in question have good Biblical values. So I read more about the DUP and sure enough, I was right.
I would say that's what you could call a big green flag.
The Democratic Unionist Party was founded by the Rev Ian Paisley, who the BBC describes as being, "a fundamentalist Protestant preacher". I would say that's what you could call a big green flag (as opposed to a red flag) when it comes to voting for a particular party. The BBC also says that the DUP is, "still deeply conservative. It opposes same-sex marriage and is anti-abortion – abortion remains illegal in Northern Ireland, except in specific medical cases" – more green flags. The BBC also notes that "Mervyn Storey, the party's former education spokesman, once called for creationism – the belief that human life did not evolve over millions of years but was created by God – to be taught alongside evolution in science classes" – you may not agree, but for me that is another green flag. Then there's the quote given by a DUP Member of Parliament during the same-sex marriage debate: "In the garden of Eden it was Adam and Eve, it wasn't Adam and Steve" – just the sort of thing that liberals hate, but a major green flag for Christians who believe the Bible as it is written.
Hindsight is always 20/20!
It seems to be the widely held view that the British Prime Minister, Theresa May, made a huge mistake in calling this election – hindsight is always 20/20! But could it be that it was God's influence that caused Theresa May to make that decision? Proverbs 21:1 in The Message translation says, "Good leadership is a channel of water controlled by God; he directs it to whatever ends he chooses". Yes, the Conservative Party lost their majority (rather than increasing it as they had expected) and from their point of view it was not a good result; but maybe the Democratic Unionist Party is just the sort of godly influence that this country needs. God knew what the result of the election would be, and He knew that the Conservatives would need to work with the DUP. I am not saying that that is definitely what happened and you may well disagree with me, but I can certainly see evidence of God's hand at work. Oh, and by the way, the DUP are very pro-Israel! If you want your country to be blessed, having a pro-Israel policy is probably the most important way to achieve this.
God will show you how to vote.
Now obviously most of the people reading this will not live in Northern Ireland – as indeed I myself don't – so this is not about encouraging you to vote for the DUP. This is about highlighting the DUP's values as being exactly the sort of values you should be looking out for when voting in any election. If, as in Northern Ireland, you have more than one option with more green flags than red flags – such as the Conservative Party and the Democratic Unionist Party – then God will show you how to vote, provided you are listening.

As you exit the gym with your six-pack abs, muscleman limbs, and a Superman chest, or while you prepare to run at the park with your perfected waistline, slender Barbie hips, and flat tummy, it's nice to think about how you got this far.

For as long as you can remember, you've been told to drink at least eight (8) glasses of water a day. As our bodies cope with different activities that have different levels of intensity, the need to keep hydrated is not simply satisfied by eight glasses. Most of the time, we need more, especially during summer when we sweat more often than usual.
Keeping count of the glasses you've been drinking each day may seem too much though especially while in the middle of our summer escapades. However, the risk of dehydration is real. Sometimes, the common dizziness that people feel while playing under the sun's heat is usually caused by dehydration. Headaches caused by dehydration could even lead to fainting or a ruined natural 'digestive routine', which is crucial for diets and maintaining that figure.

1. Always keep a bottle water with you
The easier it is for you to do something, the easier it is to make it a habit. Writers on self-help, success, and discipline say making a task 20 seconds faster will make you more motivated to do the activity.
Recall how you got yourself to jog everyday. Did you put your shoes beside your bed so that when you wake up, you can easily suit up? Think of it as having that Facebook icon in your smartphone's homepage. Doesn't that give you easier access? Definitely!
Plus, looking for a convenience store to purchase a bottle every time you are thirsty is expensive and a hassle. It will also just contribute to plastic bottle waste. Wherever you go, always bring your handy bottle with you. And don't forget to fill it with water before you leave home!
2. If water bores you, add flavor!
Oftentimes, we don't give our best to create habits because we feel that the task at hand is too much of a bother. Spice it up by trying out something new. Toss in some cucumber slices or lemon with your everyday fix of water. This is an easy way to make drinking water fun and much healthier.
3. When you feel and believe you are hungry, drink water first
Many of us seem to be hungry almost all the time and it is normal to feel it at an average of four hours after every meal. As Filipinos, we get hungry more often, especially with our merienda culture. The next time you feel hungry, tie up drinking water with that feeling. The next thing you'll know, reaching for that bottle of water and drinking it all will be as effortless as breathing!
Moreover, thirst is often confused with hunger. True hunger will not be satisfied by drinking water. So, if it is just thirst, you save yourself from those unnecessary calories. Those who are on a diet will surely love this!
Go for a stylish, easy to hold, and durable water bottler such as Tupperware's Eco Bottle. It comes in different sizes -- from 1 liter that is equivalent to 4 glasses, down to 310 mL that can fit perfectly in your purse. The Eco Bottle is made of safe, non-toxic materials and is tested and proven safe for reuse. It has a tight screw-on cap that prevents leaks and has a tab for easy opening. It even has an ergonomic shape for an easy grip to make sure that your hand muscles won't get too stressed from holding it. This bottle also comes in different bright colors to choose from that are perfect for summer fun and will match your unique personality!
Keeping yourself hydrated is vital in having that perfect figure and staying healthy. With Tupperware's Eco Bottle, you not only maintain that picture-perfect body, you also help lessen plastic waste on Earth.
So start the habit of bringing along an Eco Bottle with you all the time!

Brilliant mate, one of the best versions I have ever heard, and truly original in every respect.
I've told the Blueboarders to check it out.

Sorry Stephen, I have called you Steve by mistake, still better than Sven I suppose.

Utterly magnificent!!!
A really, really great version. I love the inclusion of "Auld Lang Syne", the beginning, the 2nd part, everything!

- Linear Zap said...
I've been listening to it over and over again for the last 20 minutes - and even though I loved it from the beginning, it manages to grow on me. Amazing!

Thanks Mark for the mention on the blueboard, and thanks Linear for your kind comments. I'm glad you like it. I once considered cutting the entire SMiLE album, but then thought no - way too much work. I'm considering doing a Heroes and Villains, rerecording some of the rare segments found on the vol 1 and 2 boots, and playing around with the running order. I still think the BWPS version was a copout

Brilliant!!! Just started listening to The Wrong Button as well - really intense and slightly creepy. In the best possible way, of course.

Hi Stephen,
I just heard your version of Surf's Up and again I am blown away by your mesmerizing style.
Your music is always so reminiscent of Edward Scissorhands for me. Your music very much reminds me of Danny Elfman's musical scores.
Very clever, and very beautiful. It's utterly a new experience to hear your version of the song. A very mature and serious effort and I applaud it.
I sincerely hope you will be releasing some new material in the future, because everything you have released in the past is always perfect.
- February 24, 2008 at 12:17 AM
- Stephen said...
Thanks Eric,I'm planning something special for the new album(s. I'll be setting up a website in the near future, I'll keep you posted. Glad you liked SU

One of mybest friends from high school is getting married this Sunday. But since I'm not invited to his wedding — it's going to be a small family affair — I have to take the next best thing, which is a wedding party at their home the following week. Money will be tight this semester, but with my full-time job in the horizon, I'm feeling more generous. And this is probably one of two non-familial people I would fly to Timbuktu for, if need be.
The best prices for non-stop flights from Phx to Washington D.C (technically, the airport is in Baltimore, MD, but whatever) are on Southwest. Right now live.com is giving 15% cashback on all purchases on eBay, so I went searching for a Southwest travel credit, and as luck would have it, there was a buy-it-now auction in the price range I needed. So I bought the travel credit on eBay, then purchased my ticket on the SW website.
Here's the breakdown:
SW travel credit value: $350.50
eBay buy-it-now price: $315
Live.com cashback: $47.25
Final price paid: $267.75
That's a savings of $82.75 or 24%!! And, since the final price of the ticket was $319, I still have a $31.50 credit good until 7/2009.
This was my first time buying a travel credit on eBay, and I made sure to use my credit card through PayPal, in case the transaction went sour and I needed to do a chargeback. I ALWAYS use my credit card for large transactions on eBay. It's much easier getting a chargeback from your credit card company then hassling with a refund through PayPal (which isn't guaranteed — for example, if the seller closes his account and runs with the money you're out of luck). But it turned out to be super easy — I received the credit soon after payment and was able to apply it immediately toward the purchase of my plane ticket. The previous owner just had to give me his name and a confirmation number.
That 15% cashback on eBay is a really good deal for things like gift cards, travel credits, gold coins, etc. And there have been days when the eBay cashback percentage has been as high as 25%! You can do up to 6 eBay transactions per live.com account, with a maximum of $200 cashback on any one purchase. All eBay purchases must be buy-it-now, and they must be paid with PayPal to be eligible for cashback. It takes 60 days for the cashback to be available in your account, and you can then transfer it to your PayPal account. Here are the live.com terms and conditions for purchases on eBay.

C. L. Meier, H. Chien, S. W. Cousins, R. D. Dix; Acute Cytomegalovirus Infection Does Not Activate Macrophages for Production of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF). Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci. 2009;50(13):844.

Purpose: :
We have shown previously that mice infected systemically with murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) for 12 weeks (chronic infection) exhibit increased size and severity of experimental choroidal neovascularization (CNV) when compared with animals infected systemically with MCMV for 6 days (acute infection). Although the mechanism is uncertain, we hypothesize that MCMV-mediated activation of macrophages during chronic infection leads to production of VEGF, an event that does not occur during acute infection.
Methods: :
Four groups of C57BL/6 mice were injected intraperitoneally with either a non-lethal dose of MCMV or UV-inactivated virus (control). At 6 days or 12 weeks after inoculation, either splenic cells from whole spleens or populations of splenic macrophages enriched by flow cytometry (~90% purity) were collected from all animal groups and subjected to real time RT-PCR assay for quantification of VEGF and VEGF receptor (VEGF-R) mRNA levels. Presence of infectious virus in whole blood was determined by standard plaque assay.
Results: :
Whereas significantly high amounts of VEGF and VEGF-R mRNA levels were found in splenic cells from chronically infected mice, splenic cells or enriched populations of splenic macrophages from acutely infected mice harbored VEGF and VEGF-R mRNA at levels equivalent to those found in animals injected with UV-inactivated virus. As expected, infectious virus was detected in whole blood from acutely infected animals, but not detected in whole blood from chronically infected animals.
Conclusions: :
We conclude that increased expression of VEGF and VEGF-R by macrophages is a late event that takes place during chronic virus infection but not acute virus infection. This conclusion would help to explain the increase in size and severity of experimental CNV observed in chronically infected mice when compared with acutely infected mice. The precise time during the course of systemic MCMV infection at which macrophages become activated to produce large amounts of VEGF remains to be determined. We predict that administration of the antiviral drug ganciclovir during chronic infection will not decrease VEGF production by MCMV-activated macrophages.

"Let It Snow"
(watercolour holiday card design)
Many of us are both hoping for snow and dreading it at the same time. I think most everyone loves the romantic beauty of a crisp white blanket of snow, just in time for the holidays. We all love the ideal that the snow will fall silently through the night when everyone is snug and cozy in their beds and we'll awake to the twinkling crystaline beauty of it all.
In reality we have all created busy schedules for ourselves that often times has us driving from one place to another and so for that reason we may not be looking forward to the snowy weather. I hope though that we can take some time this month, and through the rest of the winter as well, to stay in one place long enough to be able to relax, and even enjoy the sight, when the snow begins to fall.
Falling snow is beautiful!! Sometimes when the flakes are big and slow in their descent I enjoy going outside and just standing there, letting the flakes fall on my face and feeling as though I, myself, am in a big snowglobe... it's moments like that that I appreciate the seasons and thank God for the beauty that each season brings!

[Perspectives] Virtue in deficit: the 9-year-old hero
The bravest person I know is a 9-year-old boy. I came to know him by chance and his story profoundly moved me. I will call him Cain, after the impulsive and hot-tempered son of Adam. The Cain I know is also impulsive. He suffered extensive damage in utero due to prenatal alcohol exposure and was diagnosed with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD). His birth mother, who was herself in care as a child, had neither the education nor the resources to refrain from drinking during pregnancy. Cain was taken into care at birth, but it was too late.

Moving is stressful, leave it to the experts.
Shifting your family and furniture to a new place is a massive task. There are so many parts to arrange and too many areas you need to keep your focus on. The actual moving of your items is a big part to deal with, but one that you should be offloading to a qualified and specialist removal company, such as us. Furniture is heavy, difficult to relocate and without proper care you could easily damage your old or new home, or possibly yourself when trying to shift heavy items without the proper tools or training that only comes with being a removalist for so long.
Moving Again is a genuine company who take care of their customers.
Here at Moving Again we pride ourselves on being honest and genuine with our clients. W always ensure that in every area that we can have an impact on your removal, that we make it a positive one. We strive to give our clients a service they would be happy to recommend to their family. .

Our drivers are always moving in and out of Perth, so our drivers will know all the streets and how to get around to any house around your area. It doesn't matter if you're not ready yet, we're able to arrange another van to come and pickup your belongings sometime next week, or in a couple weeks. Let us know when you need us to collect.
Here is where we will be making our next collection, maybe you'll see us on the road sometime soon.
Moving with Moving again won't break the bank!

We're here to answer you questions, fire away.
Almost every customer has a dozen questions to ask, it comes with moving and we are waiting for it. We are waiting for you to give us a call, or shoot us an email with all the questions you have, because we know they will be coming. The thing is that almost every one of our cliens asks at least a few of the exact same questions, so we have created an FAQ to list all our highly asked questions, so we hope then some of our customers can easily find the answers without taking the time to write it all out in an email to us. Q and A page
Need storage for a few weeks? Check out some local storage units.
Sometimes when moving, a client of ours may require their belongings to be stored for some time. This is sometimes the situation if their new house needs some renovations, or the property has not settled. If you might be needing storage as well as your removal from Perth to Sydney why not check out one of the many self storage units near your destination. https://osborneparkstorage.com.au/
Get the best quote from the start. Don't waste your valuable time.
With how everyone works today, most people get a bunch of quotes done before booking in a service, we get the reasoning behind it, we even consider its a positive thing. However we also know that filling out a dozen quotations online is a massive pain. So we have tried to speak to as many of our clients as we can over our time as furniture removalists to figure out what makes a quote form simple and easy to use. We believe we have developed a quotation form that is as simple as it can be for our customers to submit, all while supplying us all the information required for us to accurately price your move. If you haven't got your removal price yet, perhaps you should check it out. click here for a removal quote.
Started packing? Or need to arrange prepacking?
Have you started packing your boxes up for your move from Perth to Sydney ? If you have not yet begun and you're wanting to be relocating in the near future, then you need to get started with your packing. Packing your personal belongings is a part of the move that everybody seems to think will be a easy and fast job. This is almost never the case. Packing your items is one part of your relocation that just sucks too much time away from more important issues. This is why we offer our pre packing services available to all our clients. Leave it up to us to sort out packing the cartons for you, we are much faster, and know the best way to pack everything to greatly help reduce damage to your personal belongings. We only use top quality moving cartons and the best wrapping materials for our pre-packing service, so you don't need to worry about how well they will be packed for transit.
Got a move that is a little odd? No problem!
When it comes to moving, there are many services that our customers need, and normally we have the ability to help with any moving occasion, such as the examples below:
- Transparent Interstate Quotes – Makes It Easy to Book!
- Cardboard Boxes of all shapes and sizes for the perfect fit
- Container Removals
- Friendly Staff
- Packing supplies
Don't book with a removalist who will make you wait. We're always available.
One of the major advantages of booking your move from Perth to Sydney with us, is that we're constantly able and ready to pick up your furniture. Our fleet of vans is so well managed that we have a truck available for collection anywhere in Australia, so long as you give us a couple days notice. This makes situations where another removalist have cancelled their pickup or last minute moves a breeze for us to accommodate. We can collect your items from Perth within a couple days, and then they would be moving on their way to Sydney. Some removal companies make you wait days or maybe weeks to be able to get your personal items collected, with us however we can collect your items straight away.
We are currently booked to be making a delivery to Sydney in the next few days. Once the customers new home settles we will be able to proceed, then we can deliver. We are always moving people in and out of Sydney at least once a week, often more. It all comes down to customer demand. If you need us to go to Sydney then we will go there, no problem at all.
If you are at all interested, here is where we are going to be doing our next delivery in Sydney maybe you will see us on the road!
Thought about your moving insurance? You should!
Another aspect of relocating that you need to take into account is your removal insurance. Moving, even when done by highly skilful and well trained removal team can still run into various problems. This is why we strongly suggest all of out customers to take out independent moving insurance. We always do anything we can with every client to make sure that the removal insurance does not need to be used, however if for no other purpose, it gives our clients peace of mind. it is very often a useful tool to assist in destressing you about your relocation. Clearly we will do all we can to make sure we avoid ever needing the removal insurance policy, however it is our opinion that it is always better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it. removalists Insurance
Moving Again is the way to go!
When you look at everything we do for our clients, all the ways push ourselves to make moving from Perth to Sydney so much easier for you, what possible reason could you have to book with another moving company.

Now that was a story! A heart-stopping reminder of the dangers of the bush. Glad you survived to tell the tale, pity your guests didn't have the video camera rolling;-)ReplyDelete
Wow! wonderfully told and I am happy you are able to tell it. Love reading your blogs and the pics of course.
UK Jules
WOW you must still be high from that adrenaline shot!ReplyDelete
I have LIKED your page on Facebook and enjoy your stories immensely Chad.
(Your photos are great too!)
If you have not yet done so, you really should consider writing a book about your experiences in the wild. You're a 'Natural Born Writer' - effortlessly hold the reader's attention and with a healthy tot of humour thrown in!
Keep it up
Proud to be in Africa too - Ronel Preston
I do agree with Ronel here, I simply love the way you write!Delete
Fully agree with Ronel. You really have the rare talent as "natural born writer" and great wildlife photograph. Awesome. And very amazing for a not native english speaker. Thumbs up and big respect Chad.Delete
Chad for heavens sake be careful - we'd rather see your pictures and blog than have you a statistic (one more death to Africa's wildlife)ReplyDelete
An incredible story ! Glad that you survive to tell the story! I really enjoy to read your blog!ReplyDelete
Chad, you rock! And kudos to Herold for his nonchalant reply... classic. You only need one scary bush story. Not sure your heart, our ours, could take another one.
Chad doing the Leopard Dance - A MUST READ!!! No preaching, Chad. Your training kicked in and I am very thankful that you & Petros are OK. I am sure your mother as well. Stay safe.ReplyDelete
Wow, what a story!! Enough to turn your hair white! Relieved about the happy ending.That's Chad 2 Leopards 0, please don't try a third round with Mbali and her offspring.ReplyDelete
Chad, so glad we got the full story and your mum isn't going to like the long story any better!!!!! Stay safe my friend we need to see more of your work!
What a story! I had goosebumps reading it! Very relieved you are okay.ReplyDelete
WOW... What a story Chad! I am very glad you are still here to tell us the story. I see I am not alone loving the blog and you're writing style. Love the humour thrown in.
Man, what a classic reply from Herold, seriously laughed till I had tears in my eyes :-).
You did not tell us what the highlight of the day was ;-)... Probably surviving a great day in the bush!
And then to finish it of with a great sighting of the serval, amazing...
I wonder . What was the "Highlight of the day" ? Be carefulReplyDelete
Your old friend Mbali! What a tale!
Your take care, Sue and John
Great blog and pictures, I am always amazed how many great photos come out of a few drives :) Stay safe and keep the blog coming.
I am so glad to know you are fine and all in one piece after that close encounter. Although, I have to say that I'd sure love to have seen a video of the whole process. Now, Let's not have another one of those again. One was enough!ReplyDelete
thank you for all the wonderful comments on this post - glad you enjoyed it and happy to be able to retell the story for you all....hope to share many more with you, but hopefully not such close encounters in future!
I loved your leopard story:) and beautiful photography! I am presently sailing on our yacht around Indonesia and Malaysia and Thailand...I share your passion for photography and storytelling-sharing your life experiences:) My blog- sharyn-ourjourney.blogspot.com
stay safe and I look forward to reading some more and looking at your brilliant photos!Sharyn.
Wow! Glad we were able to see the re-enactment of this tale and not the real thing (although your and Petras re-enactment is a must see and will leave anyone giggling for hours). Very impressed with you, Chad! Our following experience in Thornybush just couldn't compare (as we sit on our deck enjoying coffee, having decided to skip our last game drive). A drive is only as good as the guide and they had the highest expectations to meet (and subsequently failed). Thanks again for making our S. African trip one of the absolute best memories!
Craig & Ginger
Thank you for this Chad.
As you well put the "tales" told by Peter Allison on his book "Don't run whatever you do" as most of it are lies or lived by others.....sad.
It is always a pleasure to read true experiences and to see your wonderful photographs.
Take care and all the best,

...I've been caught up once or twice in opinion-slinging myself. You?
There is a place in our soul...a hole that needs, desires, longs to be fulfilled. We want someone to say to us, "you are special. valuable. known. loved. heard." and when people in our lives inevitably disappoint us, don't meet our needs inevitably, cross us inevitably, hurt us inevitably (did I already say that word inevitably?-because we are human after all)
Then we respond with feelings of inferiority causing us to withdraw (flight) or superiority causing angry tongue-lashings (fight).
Inferiority. Superiority. Neither of those responses lends to living free and certainly does not lead to love. They are both bondage. Living with either attitude is like being held in a prison of people's opinions.
We let them crush or we set out to crush. ...Crush. Crush. Crush...
{1 John 4:19-21}
Once in awhile I find a back-story by an angry blogger (those prone to 'flight' probably don't write blogs, but probably read them). And I see they have been hurt. I feel sorrow for the pain~so much pain inflicted, real and raw~ but I also feel sorrow for their response to it because by holding on to the pain, they continue to give it power over their lives. They carry their burden when they could lay it down!!! Jesus would so willingly take it from them if they'd give it, and they could walk free. He died to set us free.
Carrying an offense is an offense to the One who died to deliver.
You see, when we have been hurt, He gets it. Look at Him. Innocent, hanging on the cross! If anyone was {wrongly} accused and rejected it was Him. Perfect love, never sinning against man but always telling the truth.
But his very love, it stirred the fierce anger of the prideful ones that crucified him. That was each one of us, right? We all have crucified the Christ because we all have had anger at someone. {Matthew 5:21-22} How then can we be angry with those who hurt us when we are just as capable of hurting?
We have done the hurting?
I pray for the hurting people who continue to nurse their wounds, (I've done that!) who have removed themselves from church, but who desire reconcilliation. I pray that they would find a safe place…for strength and wholeness… and I pray for those who are hurting and who have embraced resentment. I pray for them to be set free. It is the enemy who is the enemy, not the church made up of people. Our battle is not against flesh and blood but the principalities of darkness. {Ephesians 6:12} and I pray for us, the wound-makers, that we take responsibility when we have slung one and apologize. Be humble. Seek peace and pursue it. Let's end the war. Yes?
I pray for wounded ones (I've been them) to discern truth about their situation. To get counseling if needed. To see that they have fellowship with Christ Jesus in His sufferings and they will be enabled to say, "Forgive them Father for they know not what they do."
I pray that those who hurt, {pray this with me} that they will love the Scriptures which shine light on the lies. That is my prayer for all who feel hurt and cannot let go. To know the truth... and the truth, it sets us free.
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. Galatians 5:1
"You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'You shall not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.' But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, 'Raca,' is answerable to the court. And anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell. Matthew 5:21-22

Nevada Legislature, Here They Come
The 79th Session of the Nevada Legislature has already proven to be a wild one… And we're only on Week 2! Sometimes it's difficult for many of us experienced hands to keep up with the action. What about regular folks with busy everyday lives? I checked in on a group of Southern Nevadans who wanted to learn more. They didn't just learn, but they also prepared to act. (more…)

Las Vegas Constituents to Senator Heller: "Where's the Love?"
It's quickly become a tradition of sorts. Progressive activists visit U.S. Senator Dean Heller's (R) Las Vegas district office on #ResistTrumpTuesdays to demand he do more to stand up to President Donald Trump's agenda. As Heller continues to approve more of Trump's controversial Cabinet Nominees, activists made a special Valentine's Day visit to ask him to show more love to his constituents (and less to Trump).

Vostok: Brand Information
Updated 30 Aug 2014 by Editor, RussianWatchGuide.com
Vostok is one of the best-known Russian watch brands. They manufacture durable, good quality watches with mechanical jeweled movements that don't cost a lot of money. A typical Vostok watch sells between $50 and $150, though some models cost more. Many Vostok watches are designed in the style of military or diver's watches.
Vostok started producing watches in 1942, though didn't start using the Vostok brand until the 1960's.
In 1965 the company was appointed an official supplier of watches for the Defense Department of the Soviet Union.
Vostok has won a number of international prizes for both quality and commercial success.
According to the company's website, their current philosophy "is to create mechanical watches maintaining precise timekeeping at any temperature, in any environment, surviving heavy pressure and blows."
In 2004, Vostok entered into a joint venture with a Lithuanian company to create Vostok-Europe.
Vostok means "east" in Russian and was the name of a Russian spacecraft first launched in 1960.
Several sources have reported that Vostok filed for bankruptcy in early 2010, though production has continued and the watches are still available. The official Vostok website is closed as of this update.
See the following reviews: Vostok Amphibia review, Vostok 100 Series review, Vostok Century Time review.
Where to Buy
The most popular places to buy Vostok watches are The Zenitar Store and Smirs.
Official Website
The official Vostok website is www.vostok-inc.com

Video: Building a Vostok Wristwatch
This entertaining video produced for Russian television offers an in-depth look at the Vostok Komandirskie wristwatch. It includes factory footage and an explanation of how the mechanical movement is made. The video is in Russian with English subtitles.

- the plight of refugees and displaced people around the world
- the causes of their exile
- their resolve and will to survive, and
- how they contribute to Canada.
- Canada is committed to helping refugees and has one of the largest refugee resettlement programs in the world.
Developing both an awareness and understanding of the complex nature of the refugee, due to many factors and moving parts, is important toward acknowledging the international community's role in aiding refugees today. Above all else, it is vital expose the Calgary community to the definition of the term "refugee," which according to international law is specifically someone who is fleeing armed conflict or persecution and has sought refuge across international borders.
The UNHCR puts it plainly: "These are people for whom denial of asylum has potentially deadly consequences."
Misunderstanding the term can have dangerous consequences for refugees, and often gives way to political debate and xenophobia in place of relief during a humanitarian crisis.
In terms of the Syrian refugees, millions are in fact displaced in neighbouring Middle Eastern countries, such as Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan, where massive populations are living in camps near the borders. The daily influx puts incredible strains on these host countries and their resources, especially when it's a relatively small country like Lebanon, which currently has about 1.2 million Syrian refugees, while the country itself only has a population of about 4.5 million. The 25,000 refugees absorbed into 35 million here in Canada pales by comparison.
South Sudan, Yemen, Burundi, and the Central African Republic are all also in state of humanitarian crisis: emergencies around the world today that threaten millions of refugees. Families and children forced to flee their homes arrive in refugee camps daily with little more than the clothes on their back. As Canada resettles refugees to save lives and provide stability to people fleeing persecution who have no hope of relief CIES will continue to its part and asks everyone to do whatever they can, no matter how big or small, to contribute.

There are both social and medical reasons for the shift. About a third of people who collapse from cardiac arrest never receive CPR, largely because bystanders are unsure or squeamish about delivering it the right way. Streamlining the procedure to include only compressions - which should be firm enough to depress the chest by about 2 inches (5 cm) - could make it easier for more people to attempt resuscitation.
Medically, say experts, the body has enough oxygen to function for a few minutes after the heart stops, so using compressions to restore its pumping action should be the priority.
This article is from the Nov 1 Time Magazine by Alice Park.
Heart Disease is the number one killer of women. All adults should take CPR classes or learn how to do CPR. You never know when you will need it to possibly save the life of a loved one.
I just finished my class and realized I should have do it years ago. It makes you feel like you have the knowledge to help another in an emergency.
