General Clinical Characteristics of Cystic Hydatid Disease
It is surprising how many cysts there may be in small children (and also in adults) or how large a single cyst can grow without any clinical complaints from the patient. The location of the cyst is clinically the important factor: in the chest or abdomen, cysts may remain silent for many years. In the brain, orbit, or spine they become clinically apparent much sooner. As a general rule, significant symptoms and physical evidence of the mass are unusual before the cyst has reached at least 10 cm in diameter: many deep cysts are not easily palpable until they are almost 20 cm in diameter. Hydatid cysts are long-lived and, in some human hosts, may remain viable for up to 53 years.
As already noted, the severity of the infection depends on the species, but clinically it is also the other two factors of location and spread, which strongly influence the way hydatidosis will develop in any patient: clinical symptoms result from increasing pressure from the cyst(s) or from the sequelae of cyst rupture. In some patients, trauma will rupture a cyst and the symptoms then depend on the position of the cyst and which way it leaks. Thus, there may be acute abdominal pain if rupture occurs within the abdomen. Fever and an acute hypersensitivity reaction, including urticaria and, rarely, anaphylactic shock or death, may occur after cyst rupture at any site. Numerous scolices are discharged from the ruptured cyst to give rise to new daughter cysts (secondary hydatidosis) (Figs. 3.30 & 3.31). If the primary cyst erodes into a vein, metastatic hydatidosis may develop in the lungs and other organs.
When a cyst ruptures in the lungs, there may be abrupt onset of coughing and expectoration. Cardiac hydatids may give rise to metastatic hydatids or cardiac tamponade; there may be dyspnea from mediastinal cysts compressing the trachea or a tension pneumothorax if rupture occurs into the pleura. Pressure symptoms such as bone pain, spontaneous fracture and deformity, hemorrhage due to erosion of a major vessel, and cerebral symptoms of epilepsy and blindness may all occur.
Many hydatids in the liver will remain clinically silent for a long time, but with gradual enlargement most patients will eventually have symptoms, which may vary from slight pain in the upper quadrant to severe biliary colic and jaundice following communicating rupture of the cyst and discharge of its contents into a major bile duct. Embolic obstruction of the biliary tract by daughters or fragments of the endocyst may result. Ruptured cysts may undergo suppuration and clinically mimic a hepatic abscess.
The clinical spectrum is wide and satisfactory imaging is only possible if the radiologist has a clear perception of the natural history of hydatid disease and what happens during treatment. It is equally important to know the capabilities of the different methods that are available to image hydatid disease, so that the best choice for the patient can be made.

Malian international Adama Traoré signs for AS Monaco
Malian international Adama Traoré has joined French side AS Monaco on a 5-year deal for a reported fee of €14 million.
19-year-old starlet Adama Traoré has successfully completed his move to French giant AS Monaco, ending his one-year spell with Lille OSC in which he was loaned out to Royal Mouscron-Péruwelz for some of the time.
During his time with Lille, Adama played 20 games only with the club, scoring two goals and assisting another one.
The young talented midfielder has recently participated with the Malian National team in the U-20 World Cup, where they won the bronze medal after beating Senegal in the third place match.
It is worth noting that Adama has received the Golden Ball after being named as the player of the tournament.
AS Monaco's vice president Vadim Vasilyev was delighted with signing Adama saying, "AS Monaco is proud to have Adama Traoré among it's squad, this is part of the club's strategy to invest in the future of the team."
He added, "He has been named the best player of the U-20 World Cup, which says a lot about his qualities. We hope to achieve a lot of trophies in football, with the quality group of players who has chosen to come to Monaco and grow in contact with Leonardo Jardim."
Vadim concluded,"Adama was monitored by handful of top class teams, but his determination to join us shows the quality of our project and its appeal."

Today we have another swatch from the very fashionable Sorbet Seams.
Sorbet Seams is an indie brand based in Belgium and run by Sally Meyvis.
As you may remember I swatched Coffee and Flowers a couple days ago, you can see it HERE
This is For Lovers in a Rush.
It has a mixture of glitter in ice blue, silver and gold holo.
I chose to layer this topper over Lychee by BarryM.
I thought this looked elegant but with a flash of fun and glam.
I like how it catches the light.
I chose to do a glitter fade today, with a feature ring finger, mixing it up!
The ring finger has two coats so you can see the sort of coverage.
It has a fantastic coverage and it really isn't thick to apply.
I used 1 coat of Seche Vite and that left the nails smooth.
I love this topper and have really really love the bottles they come in!
SOOOO trendy!
To buy this and other Sorbet Seams polishes please head on over to their ETSY store.
**this polish was sent to me for my HONEST review, please see my disclaimer page for more info**

You can't make someone be there for you when you're feeling bad, sad, or anxious. You just can't. Sure, you can manipulate a person into being scared when you purposefully give cues that you're feeling off for the day; but you cannot make someone genuinely care or be there for you when you need them. Not unless you put in the effort to do the same for them.
That doesn't mean they'll 'always' be there for you. They may be busy or have something else to lend their attention to, because not everyone centers their attention around you. Not everyone spends their time trying to figure out what you're feeling and how best to treat or take care of you when you struggle. It's a lovely idea, but not realisic.
Ultimately? You have to be there for you. Boom. Simple enough. Except it's not simple enough. Being there for yourself and comforting your problems or frustrations is incredibly frustrating and heart aching to do on your own. But you learn about yourself more.
I'm not suggesting that everyone should go about figuring everything out on their own. No no no no no. If you can find a friend or family member who you trust who can watch out for you and take care of you when you can't, keep them in your life as long as possible. What I'm saying is that when you're in those moments of darkness when the world seems cold and lonely and no one wants to deal with you, don't expect someone to show up and sweep you out of the darkness and straight into the light. That's not how life works.
For one thing, most of the time no one shows up at all to take care, not unless you leave specific note with obvious instructions to come after you. No, you have to allow yourself to let people in and talk to them about what is happening within your mind.
For another thing, getting shuttled from darkness straight into the light is blinding. It leaves some paralyzed and stuck in confused panic, as they do not know how to handle the sensory overload the light brings onto our crazy world. It's too much to handle in one fell swoop.
Find someone who will take slow, easy steps with you towards the light. And if there is no one to go with you, take your time to inch forward towards it; let yourself be drawn to it and experience the struggles that come with transitioning from dark to light.
You cannot force people to along on these journeys with you, and begging and guilting them will only make the matter worse over time. If you can't find a willing partner to take you along on your rough journey; fact of the matter is, you're going to have to proceed on your own and figure out the obstacles by yourself without a companion to advise.
Everyone goes on the journey differently. I've been on it most of my life alone, I've tried to get people to come along with me. With great shame, I admit I tried to force and drag people along the journey with me. I think it was because I was so scared of being alone, not that it is any excuse for the way I treated those I manipulated and lied to.
If I've learned anything on this journey, it's that it is one that can only be made when everyone is a willing companion to the leader of the journey. And if they are not willing, than the leader must brave it alone and brace themselves for whatever truths they may find.
That's my thought anyway.

How's that for starting off the first 13th of 2006! If a month begins on a Sunday, it will have a Friday the 13th. Guess what! The YEAR began on a Sunday! So does that mean this is gonna be a humdinger of a superstitious year?
And right around the corner from our apartment here in Hannover is house #13. What happens to IT, I wonder, on Friday the 13th? Double the trouble?
Wikipedia says "there is evidence to suggest that Friday the 13th is actually unlucky for some.... some people are especially likely to have accidents or fall ill.... attributed to such people feeling a heightened state of anxiety on that day. The Stress Management Center and Phobia Institute in Asheville, North Carolina estimates that in the United States alone, $800 or $900 million is lost in business each Friday the 13th because some people will not travel or go to work."
Our only other Friday the 13th this year will be in October (aren't we lucky!). But did you know that the 13th is more likely to be a Friday than any other day of the week?
I don't know about you, but today I FEEL LUCKY! And I hope you do too :)
Over any given 400-year cycle the 13th day of the month occurs 4800 times. The distribution of 13th day of the month is as follows:
- Monday ( 685 or 14.27% ),
- Tuesday ( 685 or 14.27% ),
- Wednesday ( 687 or 14.31% ),
- Thursday ( 684 or 14.25% ),
- Friday ( 688 or 14.34% ),
- Saturday ( 684 or 14.25% ),
- Sunday ( 687 or 14.31% ).
This means the 13th day of the month is slightly more likely to occur on a Friday.

I have seen a lot of high ranking articles that are scattered around the web on websites I have never seen before and so those ones I can imagine are commissioned to make these websites stand out. Or can someone please explain it to me ?
I visit the article and read it and go hmmm what is this site and mostly just leave as the site didnt interest me because it had nothing to do with the topic that I am looking at. So thats a bounce (Someone arrives at your website and leaves) and this is a very bad signal these days one that google is looking at – dwell time. You need to get rid of poor quality or irrelevant articles to improve your bounce rate if you are interested in higher ranking. But that's another matter for cambridge SEO.
Anyway other site aside it does make a lot of sense to pick a big site like Linkedin to host your articles on. Especially if you are a professional in your subject and want to standout.
Here is a an article on Modern Marketing Techniques on Linkedin notice how the author is positioned and you get to see right there and then what this chap or chapess can do. It's an impressive editor as well. You can embed videos – he chose one from youtube to show what a good viral video is and one a funny cat video.
So that is a platform specific thing that facebook cannot do ! Linkedin finally interesting me more than than what it started to do with endless silly big up your friends and colleagues. I advise you to only publish your best stuff here though and there is the trick I think – you are less likely to get a ton of articles just spammed up there cause right there and then you are going to show what you do best !

Our journey out of debt!
Marriage & Money = joint bank accounts & joint debt
In 2012, I was introduced to Dave Ramsey's book, Total Money Makeover. Soon after I read this book, my church offered a Financial Peace University Course that I attended for nine weeks. During that course, I realized that I was never going to have debt and I would always live within my means, even below them.
Fast forward to 2015, meeting the man who would literally steal my heart!
Michael had made some decisions in the course of his military life until meeting me that had created financial stress in our relationship. His first Christmas present from me was given to him two months early. There was an FPU course that was starting and we made this a designated date night. I appreciated his openness in sharing his financial situation with me as I hoped we could overcome it together. In my eyes, I was investing in my future by investing in him. FPU is truly a total transformation in the mind. It is consciously saying, "NO" until you can say "YES" and telling your money where it will go. To a lot of people, this is a difficult task.
After going through this course I saw Michael beginning to change in his mindset. He was not wanting to pay anything on credit and started listening to me on what I had learned from Dave Ramsey. There was a light at the end of the tunnel. 🙂
When Michael and I went on our fifth date where he made it official with a GRAND experience on the beach after an hour of riding ATV's for the first time for me. We talked about the kind of wedding we would like and marriage. Someone was really crushing hard for me! He said, "I want to pay for my wedding, so many people don't have any skin in the game so it is easy to walk away." I also agreed that I would want to pay half.
In my eyes, we had a plan for our relationship and financial future. However, Michael does not do what is practical he does what he feels fits with his heart and values. Which is why the proposal literally came as a joyful surprise. The sacrifice is what made this moment and season even more sentimental.
Michael, had just got his end of the year bonus check and what did he do with it? Pay down some debt? Pay his bills? NOPE. He put all of it towards my ring. To everyone and even myself this was a silly move. However, he was investing in me. He loved me enough to take me off the market and proudly pronounce that he chose me. It reminds me of Luke 21 As Jesus looked up, he saw the rich putting their gifts into the temple treasury. 2 He also saw a poor widow put in two very small copper coins. 3 "Truly I tell you," he said, "this poor widow has put in more than all the others. 4 All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth, but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on."
My husband is a generous man. He is kind and gentle with me. During our engagement there was a lot of stress financially, however, we got through it. I wasn't exactly jumping for joy at the thought of having debt at the age of 27, but I knew we could do it. We are a power couple, we are a team, and three months of marriage we have now paid off three credit cards. We have one credit card left, two loans, car payment, and our mortgage. I could not be happier with seeing this go bye bye. We have a game plan and we are intentional with our monthly budget meetings. Trust me it has not been completely smooth sailing, but we have been doing great together. I am the nerd and Michael is the free-spirit, these are terms that Dave Ramsey uses and yes both are needed in a relationship. So thank you Gingie! You really are my puzzle piece. Can't wait to do our #debtScream!

A few days ago I went to the Sephora, first time with Juul, but it was soooo incredibly crowded that I just started to polish my nails and wait from the side~ Because I was actually I was going there for the 'shaping disk' that I wanted, usually it's about 20 euros but at this time of year the shop that carries Sephora has a sale where you get 3 items for 10 euros, so i thought that this would be my time to go and get it! (I've been wanting it since I saw it in Paris!) But then they said it was sold out but that they would restock everyday. So I went back 2 days later just to get the message 'Sorry it is completly sold out, too bad!' So surely I was sad about it and decided to just buy a contouring palette of ebay xD I did get some other pretties I would like to share with you though!
These 2 are beautifully pigmented, but I just cant seem to capture it on camera! Beautiful deep colours <3
And finally the gold nailpolish I've been looking for for aaaages! I've been looking for this really tacky gold, and I'm glad I found it! And look, I stopped nailbiting! :) My nails have never been this long before!
That's it for my small update! I'll make more proper posts soon I hope u.u

Join us for this opportunity to do the work of journeying within. I will be leading a silent retreat at a beautiful center on Flathead Lake in N.W. Montana.
The retreat will be from Friday, October 6 at 5pm (silence beginning at 7pm) until Sunday, October 8 at 1pm (with silence ending at noon). Long-time meditators will see this as a very short retreat, less than two full days, but it will feel incredibly long for those who have never experienced this sort of period of silence and meditation.
I've written some thoughts out (and borrowed liberally from some excellent writers) that you can read here: Silent Meditation Retreat: What to Expect. It will be updated, and those who sign up for the retreat will get more information and the opportunity to speak with me about any questions or concerns.
Like meditation itself, it is a wonderful opportunity to get to better know your mind and to bring some semblance of order and calm into your world. But it helps to have a group of committed fellow meditators/retreatants with you along with a guide - someone who has done many retreats like this in the past and has guided new meditators into and through their practice.
More information and registration can be found at Merlin CCC.

Burlap Wreath
As soon as I saw this wreath in the new Spring /Summer catalogue I fell in love with it! I know that some of my customers can't afford to buy everything they need to create something so beautiful all at once so to have it come in a kit form for the great price of £15.95 I knew they would sell fast, and they have. Everything you need to create a wreath exactly like the one I made in the photo above is included in the kit along with all the instructions. They look beautiful when finished.
If you would like to order one the catalogue number is 133333 and you can order directly from my shop by pressing the button below.
Have a great day creating

Hi all,
Noob able to follow instructions here with a WD MyCloud EX2100 NAS running Transmission. Not sure who ported it, but it's on the official list of click-to-install apps.
It runs a web interface which I would love to control using one of the Transmission phone apps.
My goal is to be able to click magnet links within the phone browser and have it picked up by the app and downloaded on the NAS.
I can't find any of the required settings with the NAS Transmission web interface, and don't know if I can access it via SSH or something
Can anyone please provide advice?
This is the available settings window via the NAS Transmission web interface.

Have you tried to use Transmission's own web interface to control the daemon?

Simvastatin is poorly bioavailable because it is practically insoluble in water and shows dissolution rate-limited absorption. Solubilizing effects of several β-cyclodextrin (βCD) derivatives such as HPβCD, SBEβCD and DMβCD on simvastatin in aqueous solution were investigated using the phase solubility technique. The solubility diagram of simvastatin with each βCD derivative could be classified as AL-type, indicating soluble complex formation of 1:1 stoichiometry. Among the above βCD derivatives DMβCD was found to be the ideal complexing agent for improving drug solubility. The simvastatin complex with DMβCD was prepared using the co-evaporation method and was then characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and in vitro dissolution. Dissolution and pharmacokinetic studies indicated that the simvastatin/DMβCD complex exhibited an increased dissolution rate, rapid absorption, and improved bioavailability in rats compared to free drug. Maximum plasma concentration (cmax) and the time to reach it (tmax) were 21.86 μg mL−1 and 1.4 h for the drug complex, 8.25 μg mL−1 and 3.0 h for free drug, respectively. Main pharmacokinetic parameters such as tmax, cmax were significantly different (p < 0.01) between the simvastatin complex and free drug. Bioavailability of the simvastatin complex relative to free drug was up to 167.0 %.

To Commute or Not Commute
Last year, I took a position with a company where I had to drive 55 miles one way from home to work. Many people had suggested to me that I should move or look for a job closer to where I'm living. I didn't want to do that because it would take me away from my family and fiancee, which are the most important things to me. Plus, I was excited about the job so I wasn't even putting attention to the negatives that the position had. More importantly… the drive.
The first couple of weeks, everything was fine. The traffic and long drive was not bothering me, but I did notice that I would get home late every night, and wouldn't have time to do anything else because I had to get some sleep, to wake up early, to get to work on time the next day. And so the cycle began.
After the first month, I noticed my energy level being less and less. I wasn't eating healthy and I started to loose weight. I have always been thin, but I had a healthy body weight. My face looked thinner and in general, I just looked skinnier. I have always been into sports. The moment I took this job, I basically said goodbye to them. I didn't have the energy to go and work out or to play a pickup game of basketball. I started to see my friends less and less and my overall happyness began to go down.
My relationship with my fiancee was starting to strain. Before I took this position, I was seeing her and spending some qualitiy time, 3-4 days of the week. After taking this position, I was lucky to see her more than once a week. When I did see her, I was always tired and not up to doing anything. It almost felt like the commute was sucking the energy out of me.
By the third month, I really felt unhappy. No matter what, I was working a minimum of 12 hours (9 at work and 3 commuting). I didn't have time to exercise, see my family, or even to sit down and read a book. I felt zombie like. Finally, I couldn't take it anymore so I decided to let my boss know that the moment a position opened up closer to home, I would be interested it in taking in it. I knew that there was a possibility that I would have to take a paycut but I was willing to do it in exchange for more social time, more energy, and less stress.
Luckily, on February a positioned opened up about 4 miles from my house and I was given the offer to take it. I think I didn't even let my boss finish the sentence with me already saying yes. The good thing, was that I kept my salary so the loss of income was not something I had to worry about. In the end, it was the best decision I could of made. I'm saving over $200 on gas a month, spending 10-12 hours extra a week at home, I'm starting to work out again, and more importantly, my fiancee and I are spending much more time together (yest that's a good thing).
While writing this post, I found an article in The Washington Post talking about the consequences long commutes can cause to your body and mind. I highly suggest taking a look at it specially if you are thinking about doing a commute longer than an hour.
So what are your thoughts on commuting to work? I'm specially interested in hearing your experiences with it and how you dealt with it or are currently dealing with it .

[…] was also kind enough to include my previous post: To Commute or Not Commute. I discuss how commuting can affect your pocket book, your health, and your personal […]

Yummy apple
In light of this, apple is a popular theme in The New year's cards, dishes, table cloths, napkins etc. I decided to go with the flow and make a card with an apple. The writing on the apple: "Good, sweet year".

Alexis challenging the offense.
Need a good throw in!
Katie booting in another goal!
Katie is determined not to let this kid score on her!
Alexis and Katie are playing soccer again this fall. Both girls moved up in field sizes, so it will be an adjustment for them. Katie's team won both their games that day and she had two goals! Alexis' team didn't do as well, but she played great. The girls are both playing lots of goalie, so they take that pretty seriously. Regular season starts on Monday. We'll keep you posted on their standings!

Surprisingly I've started my Chirstmas shopping early this year, I'm not usually very organised when it comes to Christmas. I've been doing most of it online this year, as my local shops aren't that great. I thought I'd share a few wishlists starting with one for Osian from My 1st Years. (I've only written one so far so if I got bogged down with uni work again the others may take a while to be up!)
I feel a bit sad I won't be buying any 'My 1st Chirstmas' gifts or keepsakes for him this year. I can't believe this will be his second Christmas.
So here are a few items from My 1st Years I'd love to get for Osian.
Personalised 'Do Not Open' Reindeer Sack - I'm still not sure if I'd rather buy him a personalised gift sack or a stocking, but if I were to choose the sack this is the one I'd go for.
Fair Isle Baby Onesie - I LOVE this, the pattern is lovely and I can just imagine Osian wearing it. I would definitely get it personalised in red just like in the photo above. Osian's in need of some new clothes now he's growing out of 9-12 months, and I'd love this to be one of his new outfits.
Jellycat Reindeer - I'm pretty sure Osian has enough teddies, but I think having one for Christmas would still be nice, especially a personalised one. The antlers look like something that would capture his attention as he loves fiddling with similar things on top of his toys.
Jellycat Penguin Book & Toy - Osian really loves books, I've been buying a few winter and Christmas books recently to add to his ever growing collection, and this would make a lovely addition to the book shelve, Again he has enough teddies but how cute is the little penguin?
Reindeer Slippers - I'm not sure if he'd keep slippers on because hardly ever keeps his socks on, but I would love to see him him wearing these. If left on they will be perfect for keeping his little feet warm now it's getting colder, can imagine them being used for out and about and whilst playing in the house.
Snowman Pyjamas - I love Osian wearing stripy trousers, they're just so lovely. This pyjama set really caught my eye. I love the simplicity of it.

away, Flanigan!--But here
is my lord, just upon us, like a stag of the first head, and the whole
herd behind him."
Tyrrel stepped forward a little before his officious companions, his
complexion rapidly changing into various shades, like that of one who
forces himself to approach and touch some animal or reptile for which he
entertains that deep disgust and abhorrence which was anciently ascribed
to constitutional antipathy. This appearance of constraint put upon
himself, with the changes which it produced on his face, was calculated
to prejudice him somewhat in the opinion of the spectators, when
compared with the steady, stately, yet, at the same time, easy demeanour
of the Earl of Etherington, who was equal to any man in England in the
difficult art of putting a good countenance on a bad cause. He met
Tyrrel with an air as unembarrassed, as it was cold; and, while he paid
the courtesy of a formal and distant salutation, he said aloud, "I
presume, Mr. Tyrrel de Martigny, that, since you have not thought fit to
avoid this awkward meeting, you are disposed to remember our family
connexion so far as to avoid making sport for the good company?"
"You have nothing to apprehend from my passion, Mr. Bulmer," replied
Tyrrel, "if you can assure yourself against the consequences of your
"I am glad of that," said the Earl, with the same composure, but sinking
his voice so as only to be heard by Tyrrel; "and as we may not again in
a hurry hold any communication together, I take the freedom to remind
you, that I sent you a proposal of accommodation by my friend, Mr.
"It was inadmissible," said Tyrrel--"altogether inadmissible--both from
reasons which you may guess, and others which it is needless to
detail.--I sent you a proposition, think of it well."
"I will," replied Lord Etherington, "when I shall see it supported by
those alleged proofs, which I do not believe ever had existence."
"Your conscience holds another language from your tongue," said Tyrrel;
"but I disclaim reproaches, and decline altercation. I will let Captain
Jekyl know when I have received the papers, which, you say, are
essential to your forming an opinion on my proposal.--In the meanwhile,
do not think to deceive me. I am here for the very purpose of watching
and defeating your machinations; and, while I live, be assured they
shall never succeed.--And now, sir--or my lord--for the titles are in
your choice--fare you well."
"Hold a little," said Lord Etherington. "Since we are condemned to shock
each other's eyes, it is fit the good company should know what they are
to think of us. You are a philosopher, and do not value the opinion of
the public--a poor worldling like me is desirous to stand fair with
it.--Gentlemen," he continued, raising his voice, "Mr. Winterblossom,
Captain MacTurk, Mr.--what is his name, Jekyl?--Ay, Micklehen--You have,
I believe, all some notion, that this gentleman, my near relation, and
I, have some undecided claims on each other, which prevent our living
upon good terms. We do not mean, however, to disturb you with our family
quarrels; and, for my own part, while this gentleman, Mr. Tyrrel, or
whatever he may please to call himself, remains a member of this
company, my behaviour to him will be the same as to any stranger who may
have that advantage.--Good morrow to you, sir--Good morning,
gentlemen--we all meet at dinner, as usual.--Come, Jekyl."
So saying, he took Jekyl by the arm, and, gently extricating himself
from the sort of crowd, walked off, leaving most of the company
prepossessed in his favour, by the ease and apparent reasonableness of
his demeanour. Sounds of depreciation, forming themselves indistinctly
into something like the words, "my eye, and Betty Martin," did issue
from the neckcloth of Sir Bingo, but they were not much attended to; for
it had not escaped the observation of the quicksighted gentry at the
Well, that the Baronet's feelings towards the noble Earl were in the
inverse ratio of those displayed by Lady Binks, and that, though ashamed
to testify, or perhaps incapable of feeling, any anxious degree of
jealousy, his temper had been for some time considerably upon the fret;
a circumstance concerning which his fair moiety did not think it
necessary to give herself any concern.
Meanwhile, the Earl of Etherington walked onward with his confidant, in
the full triumph of successful genius.
"You see," he said, "Jekyl, that I can turn a corner with any man in
England. It was a proper blunder of yours, that you must extricate the
fellow from the mist which accident had flung around him--you might as
well have published the story of our rencontre at once, for every one
can guess it, by laying time, place, and circumstance together; but
never trouble your brains for a justification. You marked how I assumed
my natural superiority over him--towered up in the full pride of
legitimacy--silenced him even where the good company most do congregate.
This will go to Mowbray through his agent, and will put him still madder
on my alliance. I know he looks jealously on my flirtation with a
certain lady--the dasher yonder--nothing makes a man sensible of the
value of an opportunity, but the chance of losing it."
"I wish to Heaven you would give up thoughts of Miss Mowbray!" said
Jekyl; "and take Tyrrel's offer, if he has the means of making it good."
"Ay, if--if. But I am quite sure he has no such rights as he pretends
to, and that his papers are all a deception.--Why do you put your eye
upon me as fixed as if you were searching out some wonderful secret?"
"I wish I knew what to think of your real _bona fide_ belief respecting
these documents," said Jekyl, not a little puzzled by the steady and
unembarrassed air of his friend.
"Why, thou most suspicious of coxcombs," said Etherington, "what the
devil would you have me say to you?--Can I, as the lawyers say, prove a
negative? or, is it not very possible, that such things may exist,
though I have never seen or heard of them? All I can say is, that of all
men I am the most interested to deny the existence of such documents;
and, therefore, certainly will not admit of it, unless I am compelled to
do so by their being produced; nor then either, unless I am at the same
time well assured of their authenticity."
"I cannot blame you for your being hard of faith, my lord," said Jekyl;
"but still I think if you can cut out with your earldom, and your noble
hereditary estate, I would, in your case, pitch Nettlewood to the
"Yes, as you pitched your own patrimony, Jekyl; but you took care to
have the spending of it first.--What would _you_ give for such an
opportunity of piecing your fortunes by marriage?--Confess the truth."
"I might be tempted, perhaps," said Jekyl, "in my present circumstances;
but if they were what they have been, I should despise an estate that
was to be held by petticoat tenure, especially when the lady of the
manor was a sickly fantastic girl, that hated me, as this Miss Mowbray
has the bad taste to hate you."
"Umph--sickly?--no, no, she is not sickly--she is as healthy as any one
in constitution--and, on my word, I think her paleness only renders her
more interesting. The last time I saw her, I thought she might have
rivalled one of Canova's finest statues."
"Yes; but she is indifferent to you--you do not love her," said Jekyl.
"She is any thing but indifferent to me," said the Earl; "she becomes
daily more interesting--for her dislike piques me; and besides, she has
the insolence openly to defy and contemn me before her brother, and in
the eyes of all the world. I have a kind of loving hatred--a sort of
hating love for her; in short, thinking upon her is like trying to read
a riddle, and makes one make quite as many blunders, and talk just as
much nonsense. If ever I have the opportunity, I will make her pay for
all her airs."
"What airs?" said Jekyl.
"Nay, the devil may describe them, for I cannot; but, for example--Since
her brother has insisted on her receiving me, or I should rather say on
her appearing when I visit Shaws-Castle, one would think her invention
has toiled in discovering different ways of showing want of respect to
me, and dislike to my presence. Instead of dressing herself as a lady
should, especially on such occasions, she chooses some fantastic, or
old-fashioned, or negligent bedizening, which makes her at least look
odd, if it cannot make her ridiculous--such triple tiaras of
various-coloured gauze on her head--such pieces of old tapestry, I
think, instead of shawls and pelisses--such thick-soled shoes--such
tan-leather gloves--mercy upon us, Hal, the very sight of her equipment
would drive mad a whole conclave of milliners! Then her postures are so
strange--she does so stoop and lollop, as the women call it, so cross
her legs and square her arms--were the goddess of grace to look down on
her, it would put her to flight for ever!"
"And you are willing to make this awkward, ill-dressed, unmannered
dowdy, your Countess, Etherington; you, for whose critical eye half the
town dress themselves?" said Jekyl.
"It is all a trick, Hal--all an assumed character to get rid of me, to
disgust me, to baffle me; but I am not to be had so easily. The brother
is driven to despair--he bites his nails, winks, coughs, makes signs,
which she always takes up at cross-purpose.--I hope he beats her after I
go away; there would be a touch of consolation, were one but certain of
"A very charitable hope, truly, and your present feelings might lead the
lady to judge what she may expect after wedlock. But," added Jekyl,
"cannot you, so skilful in fathoming every mood of the female mind,
divine some mode of engaging her in conversation?"
"Conversation!" replied the Earl; "why, ever since the shock of my first
appearance was surmounted, she has contrived to vote me a nonentity; and
that she may annihilate me completely, she has chosen, of all
occupations, that of working a stocking! From what cursed old
antediluvian, who lived before the invention of spinning-jennies, she
learned this craft, Heaven only knows; but there she sits, with her work
pinned to her knee--not the pretty taper silken fabric, with which
Jeannette of Amiens coquetted, while Tristram Shandy was observing her
progress; but a huge worsted bag, designed for some flat-footed old
pauper, with heels like an elephant--And there she squats, counting all
the stitches as she works, and refusing to speak, or listen, or look up,
under pretence that it disturbs her calculation!"
"An elegant occupation, truly, and I wonder it does not work a cure upon
her noble admirer," said Jekyl.
"Confound her--no--she shall not trick me. And then amid this
affectation of vulgar stolidity, there break out such sparkles of
exultation, when she thinks she has succeeded in baffling her brother,
and in plaguing me, that, by my faith, Hal, I could not tell, were it at
my option, whether to kiss or to cuff her."
"You are determined to go on with this strange affair, then?" said
"On--on--on, my boy!--Clara and Nettlewood for ever!" answered the Earl.
"Besides this brother of hers provokes me too--he does not do for me
half what he might--what he ought to do. He stands on points of honour,
forsooth, this broken-down horse-jockey, who swallowed my two thousand
pounds as a pointer would a pat of butter.--I can see he wishes to play
fast and loose--has some suspicions, like you, Hal, upon the strength of
my right to my father's titles and estate; as if, with the tithe of the
Nettlewood property alone, I would not be too good a match for one of
his beggarly family. He must scheme, forsooth, this half-baked Scotch
cake!--He must hold off and on, and be cautious, and wait the result,
and try conclusions with me, this lump of oatmeal dough!--I am much
tempted to make an example of him in the course of my proceedings."
"Why, this is vengeance horrible and dire," said Jekyl; "yet I give up
the brother to you; he is a conceited coxcomb, and deserves a lesson.
But I would fain intercede for the sister."
"We shall see"--replied the Earl; and then suddenly, "I tell you what it
is, Hal; her caprices are so diverting, that I sometimes think out of
mere contradiction, I almost love her; at least, if she would but clear
old scores, and forget one unlucky prank of mine, it should be her own
fault if I did not make her a happy woman."
[II-8] "Rob as a footpad."
It comes--it wrings me in my parting hour,
The long-hid crime--the well-disguised guilt.
Bring me some holy priest to lay the spectre!
_Old Play._
The general expectation of the company had been disappointed by the
pacific termination of the meeting betwixt the Earl of Etherington and
Tyrrel, the anticipation of which had created so deep a sensation. It
had been expected that some appalling scene would have taken place;
instead of which, each party seemed to acquiesce in a sullen neutrality,
and leave the war to be carried on by their lawyers. It was generally
understood that the cause was removed out of the courts of Bellona into
that of Themis; and although the litigants continued to inhabit the same
neighbourhood, and once or twice met at the public walks or public
table, they took no notice of each other, farther than by exchanging on
such occasions, a grave and distant bow.
In the course of two or three days, people ceased to take interest in a
feud so coldly conducted; and if they thought of it at all, it was but
to wonder that both the parties should persevere in residing near the
Spa, and in chilling, with their unsocial behaviour, a party met
together for the purposes of health and amusement.
But the brothers, as the reader is aware, however painful their
occasional meetings might be, had the strongest reasons to remain in
each other's neighbourhood--Lord Etherington to conduct his design upon
Miss Mowbray, Tyrrel to disconcert his plan, if possible, and both to
await the answer which should be returned by the house in London, who

A Swedish study reported in Wednesday's issue of Neurology brings vindication for a long-standing
hope hunch at the Palace: "Eating a moderate amount of European chocolate each week may help prevent stroke."
The study in Wednesday's issue of the journal Neurology suggested that men who ate one-third of a cup of chocolate chips had a lower risk of stroke than those who didn't eat any of the sweet treat.
Those eating the highest amount of chocolate had a 17 per cent lower risk of stroke, or 12 fewer strokes per 100,000 person-years compared with those who ate no chocolate. Person-years is the total number of years that each man was under observation.
"These findings suggest that moderate chocolate consumption may lower the risk of stroke," Susanna Larsson of the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm and her co-authors concluded.
I really like this Susanna Larsson person. I feel like she and I could become great friends.
"Because chocolate is high in sugar, saturated fat and calories, it should be consumed in moderation."
Well Susanna, you know what I always say about moderation: "Everything in moderation. Including moderation."
A review of similar studies that was part of the research also suggested a 19 per cent decrease in risk of stroke with chocolate consumption.
A 19% reduction is no joke. I know that I, personally, would like to have 19% fewer strokes. Wouldn't you? Also: I would like to eat more chocolate. Win-win.
Now pay close attention to this next part, because it's important:
In Sweden, about 90 per cent of the chocolate consumed is milk chocolate, Larrson said. Those sweets tend to be richer in cocoa solids than the most popular types of chocolate in North America.
That's right, fellow Americans: no craptastic Hershey bars for you. You're gonna have to spring for the Toblerone. It's for your health. You don't want 19% more strokes, do you?
At first I was disheartened to learn that this Swedish study only included men—37,103 of them, aged 49 to 75. This is not my demographic, and research results from studies done on only one sex do not necessarily apply to the other. But then along comes my new BFF Susanna Larsson to put my mind at ease:
Last year, Larsson's team reported that women who have two small bars of chocolate a week, about 66.5 grams, were about 20 per cent less likely to suffer a stroke than those who abstained from eating it.
20%! According to my ladymath, that's, like, even better than 19%!
Isn't Susanna Larsson awesome? Susanna Larsson is freaking awesome.

After my post last night, I decided it was high time for something a little lighter. My life has been crazy this week. So in honor of Valentine's Day, I give you What I Love; What I Don't Love.
1. I love the new wood floors in the living room (no molding yet--don't judge!)
(This is a terrible picture with too much flash. Ignore all the equipment--I was too lazy to move it.)
I don't love every piece of furniture in my home stuffed into my family room and still having nowhere to sit.
2. I love making a robot Valentine box with Luke.
I don't love that after we completed it, Luke came home from school and announced that his teacher said they could bring a small box or Manila envelope for their valentines. I said screw it--he's taking it.
3. I love going to Babies R Us and picking out a brand new travel system for the new baby.
I don't love the cost, I don't love that I'm buying new stuff for my last child, and I especially don't love hauling the &;#%@^)#$ thing back to the store because we discover that the car seat only goes up to 20 pounds--defeating our whole purpose for buying a new one!
4. I love Sam getting dressed up and taking Sammie to the princess Ball at our gym because she wanted to go and she asked him to take her. Sammie had a blast.
I Don't Love getting texts from him throughout the evening telling me stuff like "It is not a professional Ariel." (All of the princesses were gym workers dressed up--Ariel happened to be a large, 40 something-year-old lady with black hair.)
5. I love Valentine candy of all kinds.
I don't love when I polish off an entire bag of fun size Snickers and Twix by myself in two days.
6. I love Sammie in her Valentine outfit.
I don't love that she has refused to wear anything else for the last two weeks.
7. I love that Ryan imitates his sister when she does the over the shoulder poses.
I REALLY don't love when I get on the computer for literally 10 minutes and he takes a purple magic marker to my kitchen cabinets, floors, walls and every piece of furniture I own--(because every piece of furniture I own is in the family room-see #1.) By some miracle is was a washable marker and it came off everything including my upholstered furniture.
8. I love McDonald's for peddling sanity in a cup every day for 99 cents.
I don't love that I usually end up buying McNuggets or a burger to wash it down.
9. I love losing 5 pounds in 24 hours.
I don't love that it took a serious bout with the stomach flu to do it and then I gained it all back in the next 48 hours. See #5 and #8
10. I love this man for understanding my neurosis and loving me anyway (and for slaving away on my wood floors!)
I don't love when I see him lying in bed at night perusing the SI swimsuit edition as I am changing from my gigantic maternity jeans into a pair of gigantic red pajamas. (He hates this picture and posting it on my blog is my payback!)
Happy Valentines Day!

Martin Asbæk Gallery
Press Release
Danish-born artist Maria Rubinke's small porcelain figures are reminiscent of the illogical compositions of surrealism, transforming the character of what are traditionally charming and passive objects into expressions of more taboo feelings that oscillate between desire and sadism.
For the exhibition at Volta NY the gallery has planned to showcase different sculptures interpreting the triptych "Garden of earthly delights" by Hieronymus Bosch dated from 1490 and 1510, with heaven, earth and hell as their focal source of inspiration.
In a known dramatic way Maria Rubinke exposes little innocent porcelain figurines (girls) to pain and suffering through different variations of sculptures. The symbolic language is powerful throughout the exhibition where Rubinke uses classic symbols like the lamb, an apple and the snake from the Garden of Eden as a reference to the Creation and the Fall of Man.
Like the Surrealists, Rubinke thematizes the complexity of the human psyche and works in a formal idiom all her own. She refers to surrealism and tries to reproduce the mental state of mind, with a personal symbolism.
The sculptures are all very detailed and meticulously executed. For the art fair the works will be displayed on specially made pedestals of wood and steel placed in a themed order around the booth without the classic glass showcase. All the sculptures are unique pieces and created specially for Volta NY .
Maria Rubinke has been working with the classic porcelain figure since her graduation from the School of Glass and Ceramics on Bornholm in 2008. She allows the incomprehensible and chaotic in the human subconscious to rise to the surface in her sculptures. The pure white porcelain surface attracts the gaze of the viewer, but at the same time distorts our presuppositions when the small porcelain girls are slowly broken down and subjected to contrast-filled madness.
Maria Rubinke studied at the School of Glass and Ceramics on Bornholm in 2008. Later she has exhibited at Haugar Vestfold Museum of Art in Norway and the Civic Museum Bassano del Grappa in Italy, and most recently she has presented a comprehensive solo exhibition, Fragile, at the Vejle Art Museum in 2012. Maria Rubinke's first solo show at Martin Asbæk Gallery, It's better to burn out than to fade away, was showed from the 11th April to 17th May 2014.

Yesterday I came across a very interesting article on the website. It is called ''10 painfully obvious truths everyone forget to soon''. You can find a link to that website at the bottom of this post.
Two things intrigued me the most:
1. Being busy does not mean being productive.
I always thought that when I'm busy it means that I'm doing something good with my life. For me ,being not busy means being lazy. As simple as that. I could feel frustrated very often, because I didn't have any plans for the evening, day or a weekend. But on the other hand, when I was busy I felt tired and overwhelmed.
Yesterday I realized that I don't need to be busy all the time, and in fact '' busyness isn't a virtue nor is it something to respect'' So take your time and relax Mags. No one is standing behind you with a whip and pushing you to squeeze all the juice from the day.
2.Some people are simply the wrong match for you.
For the most part of my life I thought that something is wrong with me because I simply can't adapt to some people. I lost a lot of energy to adjust myself to the others but deep down I knew it is not the way to do it.
If you feel awkward being with somebody don't waste your time or energy, just turn around and go in a different direction ;)
Embrace yourself ♥

Girls' Night Out
Girls' Night Out
March 12, 2012"Every woman in the fashion business has a girl crush on DVF," Tina Brown said of her co-host Friday night at the United Nations, where she and the designer were holding the third annual DVF Awards honoring extraordinary women. "I even thought I would rename myself Tina von Brown for a while," she said jokingly to the audience.
But the night was not about DVF or Brown (though both are extraordinary), so Brown turned the mic over to the award presenters, including actresses Debra Winger and Jessica Alba, who were handing off the Anh Duong–designed statues to the likes of Oprah and Jaycee Dugard. "I think there's a lot of social movements out there, but very few are effective," Alba, who was presenting to Rio-based "grafiteira" Pamela Castro, told Style.com before the ceremony got started. "She [Castro] has found a way to really touch people. She educates women through her art—it's very sexy and provocative, but also heartbreaking."
The evening came to a grand crescendo when Oprah took the stage. "No matter how many margaritas I've had, I always make to at least one knee to pray every single day," she told the audience, attributing her great philanthropic work to higher powers. "Everything that comes from me comes from something that's bigger than me." Before handing the inspiration award to Dugard, she said, "When I saw Jaycee's interview with Diane Sawyer, I kept thinking of myself at 11 years old, on the way to school, and abducted, snatched, taken, and held prisoner for 18 years. Just take that in for a moment." By the time Oprah closed out her speech, a good portion of the audience was in tears. "It's my honor tonight to present the inspiration award, and I don't even know if inspiration is a big enough word to encompass what Jaycee means to me and so many other victims of sexual violence, but she is exceptional as a woman and as a human being."

Ok, so I don't have a photo of it, but imagine this little girl letting go and taking a few steps on her own! As of today, Violet is officially a WALKER! Mom and Dad are so proud and can't wait to capture it on video and in photos... but she proves to be a stubborn little thing and will only walk when she wants to. Which is not when any camera is on and pointed at her.
Congrats sweet Violet!

UEFA: Former IOC official candidate to lead FIFA task force
NYON, Switzerland (AP) Former Olympic official Francois Carrard is the only current candidate to chair FIFA's reform task force, according to UEFA secretary general Gianni Infantino.
The task force has no leader weeks before a FIFA-set deadline of Sept. 24 to propose ideas for rebuilding the scandal-hit governing body's reputation.
World Cup sponsors Coca-Cola and Visa have asked FIFA to ensure the job goes to an ''eminent'' person from outside football.
FIFA has promised to appoint an independent outsider after consulting the presidents of its six continental presidents, including UEFA's Michel Platini.
''He (Carrard) is an excellent person and he has the necessary experience,'' Platini's right-hand man Infantino said on Friday.
Carrard was the International Olympic Committee director general for 14 years, overseeing fallout and reforms after the Salt Lake City bidding corruption scandal broke in 1998.
The Lausanne-based lawyer declined comment to the Associated Press when asked about FIFA's offer.
Carrard worked for the IOC until 2003, including 12 years serving under the presidency of Juan Antonio Samaranch.
He has continued to represent the IOC in cases heard at the Court of Arbitration for Sport and sits on the board of IOC subsidiaries dealing with broadcasting and sponsorship.
Infantino said Carrard was ''a good proposal because you need someone who can unite.''
Proposals to reform FIFA - which could include limiting the terms of presidents, publishing salaries and vetting officials' integrity more strictly - will be enacted only if voted in by member federations at their Feb. 26 congress. The 209 members will also elect a successor to President Sepp Blatter that day.
''We must also reach out to a broad support,'' Infantino said of the task force's work.
If he accepts the offer, Carrard will lead an 11-member panel with his colleagues nominated by the confederations.
UEFA has already sent FIFA its two nominations to join the task force, said Infantino, who declined to identify the officials.

I have a whole bunch of home-made clothes that I wear semi-regularly: the Butterick 4985 shirt, a cotton knit maxi skirt, a bunch of summer dresses, and a kimono. I want to start getting more into dieselpunk fashion so I wanted to sew some 1940's and 1930's dresses. The Simplicity 1587 is the only dieselpunk-era sewing pattern that is petiteable so I went for it by default. The pattern comes in pattern dress sizes 6-12 (this is NOT the same as RTW dress sizes) and I chose a size 6. Unlike the Butterick 4985, I only recommend this pattern for advanced sewists for the following reason: there are too many parts to this dress. The bodice yoke was fine but the hip yoke and matching these seams at the sides was a nightmare. the hip yoke seams still don't match perfectly even after 3 or 4 attempts. The finished dress does fit great though. Another thing I don't like about the pattern is how the petite cutting lines are only for the bodice, which I used to shorten the bodice by 1". There are no petite cutting lines for the skirt portion of the dress, so I had to guess and shorten it by 5/8".
Although the finished product looks great, I don't ever want to sew this dress again. The matching the hip yoke seams at the sides is too much of a nightmare.

If you appreciate beautiful art in children's books you can appreciate this book based on its illustrations alone. The book features full panel and double page spreads of Monica Miceli's waving trees and abstract hills which give enormous warmth to the story. Appearances aren't everything and the beast in this book may well look ferocious, but really he's harmless and desperately in need of a friend. One day he meets a runaway boy who also lacks friends. And so a new friendship is forged with the two revelling in each other's company. Meanwhile, the boys parents who are desperately searching for him, are faced by a pack of menacing wolves and the plot develops from here. This is a straightforward morality tale which can easily be appreciated by all primary students.
This blog contains reviews and comments on children's books which I own, have read, and would like to share. I look for books at markets and opportunity shops. They are cleaned up, covered and read. Then I take them to the classroom for students to read. Students can borrow the books at any time. Many books are also from my personal library, especially the Youth Fiction. Students can preview some of them on this blog. Now, I am also on the lookout for great new releases for my grandson Archie.

Defensively, Troy is allowing their opponents to average 29.0 ppg on 385.0 yards per game (184.8 passing, 200.2 rushing). Troy has only been able to force 6 turnovers on the season and currently has a turnover margin of minus-8. Leading the way for the Trojan defense has been DL Rashad Dillard (20 tackles, 4.0 sacks) and LB William Lloyd (56 tackles, 1.5 sacks).
The Warhawks are 5-0-1 ATS in their last 6 games in November and 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 road games. The Trojans are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games following a S.U. loss.
It will be interesting to see how Troy comes out for this matchup after letting a close one get away against Appalachian State. Louisiana Monroe has played teams close as of late as 3 of their last 4 games have been within 10 points. Louisiana Monroe has a good player in QB Garrett Smith but I don't think the Warhawks defense will be able to stop the rushing attack of the Trojans. I think Troy will do enough to contain Garrett Smith and pulls away in the 2nd half to cover this spread. Take Troy to cover.

The building of a professional: Creating greater career identity within a degree
Year published
MetadataShow full item record
The skills required by a student to excel both academically and in their chosen professional careers have been identified by many institutions, and can be referred to as 'generic capabilities'. These generic capabilities can extend from interpersonal skills, problem solving, oral communication and career skills. In recent years concerns have been raised about a gap emerging between graduate attributes developed in university degrees and what industry requires (Yap, 1997; Albrecht and Sack, 2000; Kavanagh and Drennen, 2008). This is often referred to as a lack of 'employment readiness' of students and the need to engage industry with students and the curriculum. Such a concern was highlighted in the 2007 report titled 'Graduate Employability Skills' prepared for the Business, Industry and Higher Education Collaboration Council. One of the generic skills of concern is career skills, which relates to knowledge of the relevant profession, the ability to interact with the profession and seek a career. To address this concern a Professional Development Program (the PDP) was developed. The PDP is integrated into a Business Degree and is designed to systematically develop students' learning, employment and generic skills and supplements their theoretical studies. It is argued that this integration of the PDP permeating throughout the Degree enhances students' generic capabilities, including their career skills. This paper details the procedures that have been developed, and provides preliminary evidence that the PDP has, from the perspective of students, made a substantial contribution to the building of a 'professional'. In particular, we argue that integrating professional skills and awareness systematically into an undergraduate degree in partnership with industry has developed students' generic capabilities, improved their employment readiness and provided students with a greater understanding of their future profession.

Well it's Cyber Monday. I'm still waking myself up after a long turkey-filled weekend, and am easily 5 pounds heavier. Happy Holidays! Now is the time we've all been waiting for: rushing to get lights, trees, and presents up and out before the big day. Without sounding too bah humbug, I was never a big Christmas tree person, even as a kid. Seemed like a lot of work to put it all together then take it all down a few weeks later. However, our tree was the same every year, maybe had we been more creative it would have meant more and not been so monotonous – I really sound like the Grinch. Now I'm not saying you have to go buy new ornaments every year, but at least having an assortment of colors outside of red, green, silver, and gold could help. Here are some great Christmas tree ideas/substitutes that even I, the Grinch, would love to try.
