A mathematical model for predicting first-cycle performance of steam stimulation in depletion-type reservoirs agrees reasonably well with field observations. It can be applied to both stratified and nonstratified reservoirs.
The widespread application of the steam-soak process has made more essential an understanding of process has made more essential an understanding of the basic mechanism of the process. As presently applied, it consists of injecting an arbitrary quantity of steam into a formation, stopping injection and closing in the well for some "soak" time, and then producing oil from the injection well. Recent reports producing oil from the injection well. Recent reports on field applications have been given by Bowman and Gilbert, Adams and Khan and de Haan and van Lookeren. Theories to describe the steam-soak process have been presented by Boberg and Lantz Davidson et al., Martin, Seba and Perry, and Kuo et al. None of these theories has attempted to include the detailed distribution of the steam or the oil viscosity distribution. The present method is applicable to depletion-type reservoirs and includes the specific interval of steam penetration as well as the viscosity distribution resulting from heating. The method assumes that during the injection phase oil is displaced from the steam zone until some residual value of oil saturation is attained. During the production phase oil is snowed to flow back across the outer radius of the steam zone. The time to resaturate this zone is calculated. Heating of oil in adjoining strata results in a greatly increased flow of oil through the heated layers into the well during backflow. To estimate this effect, it is necessary to use the viscosity-temperature curve for the particular oil being considered. We hope that this method will be useful to operating personnel and that it will provide insight into some of the essential factors of the steamsoak process. Two types of formation are treated in the present method. For the first case, zero vertical permeability is assumed, and oil flows only horizontally. This calculation should be applicable to cases of horizontally stratified reservoirs. For the second case, isotropic permeability is assumed, and crossflow into the permeability is assumed, and crossflow into the depleted steam zone is estimated by means of crossflow factors developed for a range of formation thicknesses, steam-zone radii, and viscosity distributions. In many practical cases the vertical permeability will be significant but still less than the horizontal permeability. Results for this situation will then be inter permeability. Results for this situation will then be inter mediate between the two extremes calculated by this model. However, it should also be possible to compute crossflow for these cases as well. The model should apply to both light and heavy oil reservoirs. The relevant data used, such as steam-zone thickness, residual oil saturation in the steam zone, and oil viscosity, should be chosen accordingly. The effect of steam distillation is not taken into account explicitly but could affect some of the data chosen.

Billy Ray Barnwell here, it has been several weeks since I wrote anything, life just got more hectic than usual all of a sudden for reasons I won't go into and there was no time to do anything except buy groceries, mow the lawn, pull weeds from the flower beds, walk the dog, install curtain rods, get prescriptions filled, try to find a service station that doesn't charge an arm and a leg for gasoline, pick up the dry cleaning, and that's just the tip of the iceberg, I have found out how soccer moms feel and all I can say is this abundant life is killing me. A semi-famous writer named Anne Lamott says if you just keep writing five hundred words a day, before you know it you will have written an entire book, you build your flock bird by bird so to speak, well I forgot that for a while but now I'm back so all's well that ends well to coin a phrase, only it hasn't ended yet, and as we all know thanks to Yogi Berra the famous baseball player, not the cartoon character that lives in Jellystone Park, it ain't over till it's over, so I will keep on with this thing until it feels like it's finished and then and only then will I stop and not before. This is so much more fun than all those chores but it is also hard work and when I say hard work I don't mean as in pouring concrete, I mean as in mentally because you just never know what's going to float up from your subconscious into your conscious mind in that old brain of yours and insist on being put down on paper, you know what, Udella Mabry is right, I do write pretty long sentences.
As if the world is not strange enough already, tonight there was a program on public television of all places about a group of hillbilly singers from seventy or eighty years ago named A.P. and Sarah and Maybelle Carter, the Carter family, I couldn't believe my eyes and ears, it was on a program called American Experience but I would bet money that most Americans do not identify with that particular experience, it almost required a suspension of disbelief to sit there and realize that the Corporation for Public Broadcasting is spending its money, or rather our money, yours and mine, in this unlikely fashion, not that it wasn't entertaining or informative in a bizarre sort of way, but what I was expecting was the three tenors, Placido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti and that other one, the Spanish dude, I can't remember his name, now that's what I call music, not this hillbilly stuff, which reminds me, when President Clinton was in office our First Couple was actually named Hill and Billy. Anyways, so much of our life nowadays, in America at least, seems to revolve around the entertainment industry, and talking about suspension of disbelief, which one of the following five movies do you think required more of it, Field of Dreams, The Matrix, Purple Rose of Cairo, City of Angels, or Big Fish? All five are pretty far out if you ask me, which you didn't, but I'm just saying. I had an idea once for a movie, it was going to star Tatum O'Neal and Farrah Fawcett, and it was all about the adventures they had and the dangers they faced while trying to protect a loved one from the sharp knife of the evil Lorena Bobbitt, the name of my movie was Saving Ryan's Privates and I put my idea in an envelope and mailed it off to Mr. Steven Spielberg in Hollywood but he never answered back, and that's too bad because I also thought my movie would have made a great vehicle for Horace Earl Triplett to break into the acting business. Okay, so if you're not the type who goes out to movies, you can always sit at home and watch even more bizarre things on television like the life and death of one Anna Nicole Smith or reruns on cable of those lame excuses for newlyweds Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey which is pronounced Lah-SHAY, why they didn't even have the same last name for Pete's sake plus his mouth needed to be washed out regularly with soap. Lately I've taken to turning off the TV and reading my Bible just to get some sanity back in my life, some of the stuff in the Bible can beat any soap opera on television hands down.
If you have been reading carefully up to this point you are prolly wondering how it can be that a person who thinks everyone should know who the Happy Goodmans, the Speer Family, and the Lefevres are wouldn't be familiar with the Carter Family, well I did know that Mother Maybelle was the mother of June Carter Cash who was the wife of Johnny Cash, he was the Man In Black who sang "I Walk The Line" and "Ring Of Fire" and "Folsom Prison" and "I've Been Everywhere, Man" and "The Rock Island Line Is A Mighty Good Road" and numerous other country music hits, but I had never heard of A.P. and Sarah, don't ask me why, maybe a part of my education was simply deficient just like some of you prolly don't know who Annette Funicello is, or Florian Zabach, boy could he play the violin. I guess we like to think we are all alike because we watch the same television programs when really each of us is a unique, one-of-a-kind being and the great miracle is that we can understand each other at all when you consider how different we all are under the skin, I mean physically we can recognize that we are members of the same species, but internally I cannot be you and you cannot be me because our experiences are as different as night and day, and as the French say, vive la difference! which is pronounced VEEV-lah dee-fair-AWNTZ! and this is Billy Ray Barnwell signing off.

I'm new to the forum and actually new to posting or asking questions on any forum so please bare with me.
My 13 year old Maltipoo was just diagnosed with Cushings. She has had elevated Liver enzyme levels for a while but had not been displaying any additional symptoms until recently. Increased thirst and urination. Last week we had the low dose dexamethasone supression tests (LDDS) which confirmed the pituitary dependent Cushings. Our vet prescribed 30mg of Veroryl to start and I'll be honest this medication terrifies me. I only just picked it up and haven't given her the first dose because I have some additional questions.
My girl only ways 20lbs, isn't this a higher dose than she should be on to start? I'm afraid of her crashing. I'm really just looking to see if overall everyone has a positive experience with Vetoryl. Researching online shows mixed results.
Has anyone tried Anipryl to treat? It seems much safer.
Thank You

Pacing is defined by Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary as "to set or regulate the pace."
When self-editing, pacing must be examined two-fold. One is the overall flow of the story. Do events occur logically throughout the novel so that the reader can comprehend the story and establish a relationship with the novel's characters.
The areas to examine when looking at the overal pace of the novel are:
The number of characters sharing center stage. Do they all have a purpose? Can the reader distinguish each one clearly, has the stage been set for the point-of-view character to dominate the scene? If so, what information is necessary for the scene, and what information would be better left for later in the story?
Is the story moving logically forward? Are the scenes like building blocks, leading the reader from one connected event to another? If not, what stands in the reader's way? Is back story bringing your scene to a screeching halt, taking the reader back in time while the author dumps paragraphs of information into the scene? Is unnecessary dialogue taking away from the importance of the scene?
Another type of back story that hurts pacing is recent back story. This occurs when the scene opens with the character explaining what just happened. It is better to show what just happened–that is, if it is important to the story at all.
Along with the overall pacing of a novel, the writer should review each scene for proper pacing. For instance, if our hero, Trevor, is in the ocean and sharks are swimming at him from every direction, this isn't the time to think of Mary Lou back home cooking his favorite meal and pondering how life would be different if he hadn't gone out into the middle of the Atlantic with Crazy Uncle Joe and his antiquated sailboat. No. To the contrary. The pace would be rapid fire. Trevor would be planning and making good his escape. And there would be no fifteen word sentences used. The faster the action, the shorter the sentences.
Likewise, if our hero is in the hospital recuperating from his ordeal with the sharks, Mary Lou may be by his side. This isn't the time for rapid-fire movement or a series of short sentences. Mary Lou would move at a slower pace, remembering times with Trevor and how he often sacrificed to make her quirky family feel loved. Well, no more of that. She needs Trevor alive, and that will mean keeping him away from Crazy Uncle Joe.
Different scenes call for different pacing, but all manuscripts need to be examined to assure that the overall pace of the story keeps the reader interested and following along.
Until next week,
Happy editing.

Simultaneous determination of two active components of pharmaceutical preparations by sequential injection method using heteropoly complexes
New approach has been proposed for the simultaneous determination of two reducing agents based on the dependence of their reaction rate with 18-molybdo-2-phosphate heteropoly complex on pH. The method was automated using the manifold typical for the sequential analysis method. Ascorbic acid and rutin were determined by successive injection of two samples acidified to different pH. The linear range for rutin determination was 0.6-20 mg/L and the detection limit was 0.2 mg/L (l = 1 cm). The determination of rutin was possible in the presence of up to a 20-fold excess of ascorbic acid. The method was successfully applied to the determination of ascorbic acid and rutin in ascorutin tablets. The applicability of the proposed method for the determination of total polyphenol content in natural plant samples was shown.

Sometime loving the finest things in life are in conflict or at least in perception but not in reality. I am a huge lover of fragrance and wine. I have never worn fragrance at a technical tasting or a consumer or trade/media tasting. I want to make sure I am not the cause of someone not perceiving the wine they are tasting fully. But when I am not at a tasting I love fragrance and love to wear it.
Here is a relationship that has been bound to me in terms of looking and observing the world through the senses experience of smell. Smell or scent can be a fully loaded word. The word "smell" denotes a negative image immediately in some people.
The relationship is that with wine the perception and enjoyment is through scent. The physiology of perceiving wine is delivered via the sense of smell hence the overload with wearing a fragrance at a technical tasting can affect some people.
The gift of loving scent is a good and a challenging thing. Scent is an imprint on many people's perception of things past but also evocation of the future and of emotion. It is a simple pleasure and it is a complex one. Based on smell and even texture issues I am not an egg eater. The smell of a frying egg turns my stomach–I cannot get past the smell let alone eat one. I know few people who don't eat eggs–when I say that I don't like eggs… I get the quizzical "really!?!" Yes, really I have not changed that in the decades of my life. I don't feel like I have missed anything except sharing in the morning ritual of many breakfasts. In childhood, there were things I couldn't or didn't want to eat but I grew to love them–seafood being one of them. Only the past few years I have started to enjoy some cheeses not all. Being a wine writer it is assumed that I have always loved cheese… I still cannot eat the very pungent kind.
Dental work has been a challenge for me and that is because of the smell… of that periodic experience of the drill…. whenever that happens I plead with my dentists to evacuate often. The smell of decayed organic matter is something I cannot tolerate. It also reminds me when I was young and when I had dental work–I remember that smell then and of course remember now. Luckily my dentists have been amazing at avoiding that smell which has made me no longer dreading a visit. I can handle the inorganic smells at the dental chair–they are momentary and truly do not bother me in the least–I don't love it but I don't hate it either.
My love for things wine and those things that are fragrances stem from goodness. I know that sounds too idealistic but it stems from my boyhood imagination. One of my aunts has a plum orchard on her property. One autumn I was in the orchard (I was 8 years old) helping pick plums and there was a smell of already fallen plums that have rejoined the earth and created a simple and haunting scent. The Scent I can still smell today …. I wish I could create this in a fragrance… it is rustic tones of moist earth, fallen leaves, stone fruit drying, leather, suede, cardamom, and mild hint of cinnamon…. And all of this is just a shorthand for a compound that is probably vastly more complex and yet beautiful. I told my aunt of this gift of her orchard and how meaningful it is to me today. I think many of us fall back to something memorable or evocative to think of a past experience or something with a positive attribute.
A positive scent for me brings confidence or longing. It reminds me of lovely people and gestures, amazing journeys and good times. And good things in the past and goodness to come. Think of the Three Kings in the Gospel of Matthew–they bring three objects to the baby Jesus–gold, frankincense, and myrrh. There is scholarly debate on what the three gifts mean–and yet it is something most people can recite. Two of three gifts were of a scent nature. Positive scent have had both a kingly attribute as well as a medicinal one–one of healing and one of assurance in love.
I think of Dior's Diorissimo that my mother loves and I hold dear. I remember when it was difficult to find in the US I found some in Germany and brought back this back for my mother. Because she is fond of it I am too. I remember working in a department store in college and I placed of the fragrances at that time on to my cognitive map. There were fragrances that I detested – Magi Noire to me has left an imprint of and the only word I can think of is as an oppressive smell–yes, I know it is a dramatic word. It was a long and annoying fragrance that had not top, heart or base notes–it was loud, sweaty-powdery and utterly unpleasant and annoyingly lingering. YSL's Paris–smelled rich–over the top red rose petal characteristics.
I have been fortunate to get as gift some amazing fragrances. A bottle of Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet is something I treasure today and it gives me a specific of all things English–it is after all made in England and is a Royal Warrant fragrance. It smells gorgeously of citrus tones, gin and tonic, and subtle spice notation. Their warm note fragrance Endymion is an evocation of wood, oud, cedar, cardamom, sandalwood and leather tones. One of my all time favourites–beyond memorable–it is exhilarating.
I love the notes that I speak of in my favourable wine reviews – here are some words I use in fragrance and wine notations. This is just a small portion of what I utilize in my descriptors.

It is absolute fun to look at the many descriptors that I love and more importantly are accurate in my opinion to getting to what the accuracy of smell and taste as it relates to wine. I attribute freshly opened tennis ball can to Ian Cauble as he talks about Germany Riesling. Boot polish as a reference to Shiraz by James Halliday. My view of wine, beer, spirits and coffee is richer because of my love of positive scents and fragrances. I feel I have been better in honing on characterization of wine, beer, spirits and coffee. I love the allure and all at once simplicity and complexity of fragrance and wine..
In my neighbourhood, I just recently discovered Tigerlilly Perfumery–It is so close I do not know how I have never stopped in or noticed?!? I blame it on being in my gilded cage–I love my house but I am always working. I was running a quick errand and I saw some fragrances… and I stopped and saw a great ensemble of independent fragrance producers. I started talking with the shops professionals and met Antonia–the stores owner and she is a master of fragrances. I loved talking with her about her experience and her love of fragrance. I was guided from one amazing fragrance to another. I was so glad this thoughtful shop exists. My current obsession is saffron– to trying a whole host of independent fragrance artists and trying a dizzyingly large number and thought I knew what was out there in the independent scent artists world–it turns out I feel woefully not aware of many of these artists.
Today's scent trends are headed to unisex fragrances–okayness for men to wear softer, sweeter fragrances. And I am dazzled by the beauty of what is being created today. I love the simple and complex world of creative forces. I wonder and I do look forward to meeting these artists–what propels them –why do they make what they make?
This subject matter of fragrance gets very little coverage and yet I felt I should talk about because I love the fine art of fragrance and evocative scents.
I'd like to know your thoughts on fragrance—your fragrances, your thoughts in general and your thoughts on wine and scent.

This weekend Hubby and I went exploring our new area. We went to a place that we have not been to before. It was a wet and colder weekend than we have had. That did not stop us from exploring, but it did cut our visit shorter than what we intended!
Welcome to Bamberg, Germany!
As you can see, the clouds were not very friendly.
One of the cool things we saw was a bridge. It was cool because on the sides were a bunch of locks.
On some of the locks were names of couples accompanied with dates. I thought that was pretty neat. My very romantic Hubby said I wondered how many bolt cutters are around….
Right before the skies opened up on us we saw an elegant sight of Spring.
This front door just spoke to me. The color of the door, the vine running alongside the frame, the simple wreath gracefully welcoming a guest and the those steps.
The flowers were in an old pail. The addition of the candle is just icing!
I loved that. That is Spring!
Our trip was worthwhile! Rain is rain and we will be back another day.

There are three gateway cities to the Kalahari, all of which are at least a day's drive from the Okavango Delta. Although it's the farthest (about 12 hours away), the O.R. Tambo International Airport (JNB) in Johannesburg, South Africa, is the region's largest and often has the best airfares and car-rental rates. Two closer alternatives, each about an eight-hour drive away, are Botswana's Sir Seretse Khama International Airport (GBE) in Gaborone and Namibia's Hosea Kutako International Airport (WDH) in Windhoek. Maun (MUB) is Botswana's primary tourist hub and the delta's main service town. Most accommodations there provide a free minibus transfer from the airport.
The 1815 eruption of Indonesia's Tambora Volcano led to a 1- to 1.5-degree-Celsius drop in the average global temperature, prompting 1816 to be called the "year without a summer." New research analyzes weather data and historical records from New England to explain why, in the northeast U.S., 1816 was also called the "mackerel year." As eruption-induced extreme weather triggered food scarcity in some areas, including a reduction in alewife numbers along the U.S. Atlantic coast, fishermen in the Gulf of Maine turned to mackerel fisheries farther offshore that had been neglected while more easily fished coastal and freshwater species were available.
Teaching professionals in the natural stone industry to identify rock types proved a rewarding experience for both the students and the teacher.
Rapid, climate-driven shifts in monsoon patterns may have shaped ancient Chinese societies, according to new research. And their history could be our future.
In the spring of 1971, paleontologist Mike Voorhies was mapping rock exposures on a farm in northeastern Nebraska when he wandered into a small ravine that recent heavy rains had swept clean of debris. High on the gully wall, a change in the color of the rock caught his eye, so he decided to scramble up and take a closer look.
For water vapor in the atmosphere to transform into icy, cloud-forming droplets, it needs a seed around which to condense, such as aerosols, sea salt or bacteria. One of the most effective seeds is mineral dust, in particular potassium feldspar, one of the main ingredients in granite. New research tracking fluxes of potassium feldspar in the atmosphere through geologic time is shedding light on the long-term importance of the mineral in cloud formation and climate feedback cycles.
Despite improvements in oceanographic observation, knowledge gaps remain about the interactions between ocean waves and wind blowing over the water's surface. This is in part due to the difficulty of observing the ocean in high seas and windy conditions. In a new study in Geophysical Research Letters, however, researchers have used a historical record of a treacherous 1883 at-sea rescue — aided by the wave-calming effects of a fish-oil slick — to develop a model of how wind and water interact to form different sizes and types of waves.
Stephen MacAvoy is an associate professor and chair of the environmental science department at American University in Washington, D.C. MacAvoy specializes in the urban environment found in his own backyard, studying urban water problems like stormwater overflow, which contributes to sewage and nutrient pollution, and the geochemistry of the degraded Anacostia River. He recently spoke with EARTH about how living "green" roofs can help reduce pollution in waterways, his surprising love of teaching and his advice for young scientists.
Changbaishan Volcano in northeastern China, on the border with North Korea (where it's known as Mount Paektu), is steeped in superstition, having produced devastating eruptions several times in recorded history. Legends that a massive eruption in the 10th century led to the downfall of a regional empire have now been refuted, however, thanks to a new analysis of a fossilized tree killed by the eruption that dates the eruption to after the kingdom fell.
During the Ordovician Period, roughly 470 million years ago, an asteroid the size of a small moon collided with another rocky object in the belt between Mars and Jupiter, shattering the asteroid into billions of pieces. Fragments from the epic collision still occasionally fall to Earth today, making up a large share of the meteorites recovered. But in the immediate wake of the Ordovician event, many pieces rained down on the planet, settling on the surface and in layers of rock forming at the time. In a new study, researchers studying some of these meteorite-rich layers have refined the timescale for the collision. The results bring into question a proposed link between the meteorite bombardment and an evolutionary uptick known as the Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event (GOBE).

Benefits of Massage
The physical and emotional benefits of massage have been well-documented. Massage treatments have been used to promote wellbeing for centuries. The special benefits that different massage treatments have to offer can make a great difference to our quality of life by improving painful muscular conditions and mobility whether these have been caused by injury, repetitive movements, poor posture or a stressful lifestyle. The emotional and psychological benefits are equally important.
At the beginning of the massage treatment I had some sore muscles from weightlifting. My neck and shoulders felt stiff and tender. By the end of the treatment the soreness and stiffness had gone and I felt very relaxed. I'm still feeling the benefits a week later.
Christine melted away the pain and stiffness built up over the years, she was gentle with the sore spots and vigorous with the deep down stubborn knotted up areas.

Office Art
Your desk represents the most boring 10 sq ft on the planet -- a condition you could only cure with pictures of your girlfriend (if she were naked) or action shots of Rickey Henderson (if he were naked). Or, you could stop the mundanity with the desktop art of Jac Zagoory. Operating out of his Union Square studio, Jac's pewter-centric handcraftiness transforms traditionally bleak office supplies into objets d'art so inspiring, you'll start considering your workspace a showroom instead of a potential canvas for your splattered brains. Pieces include card and penholders, pens, staplers, staple removers, and, if you're holding onto literary pretensions despite IMing "LOL!" all day, inkwells. Some samples:"Perfect Form" penholder: You'll feel as if a supple-breasted yoga instructor is handing you your instrument, and, better, refraining from pointing out that it's as big as a pen. "Charging Bull" stapler: Perfectly reflects your attitude towards the stock market; unfortunately, its palm-piercing horns will perfectly reflect the market's attitude towards you. Pendura: The collection's Sterling-silver-and-18k-gold apex -- though to throw $2200 at a pen you'd have to be Rickey Henderson or something.Get some for yourself, but remember that Jac's work also makes for no-brainer gifts for peers, superiors, and peers you're afraid might soon be your superiors -- aesthetically tasteless climbers who might otherwise resent your stylish desk, and give it to someone else.

Support / How do I enable Antialiasing?« on: September 21, 2011, 03:00:05 am »
With OpenGL ES 2.0, anti-aliasing becomes possible.
Sorry for the simple question, but could somebody explain how? I've no idea where or how to start.
I think SAMPLINGMODE is not an option. Or is it? I don't think the constructors would allow it...

These tasty baked chicken breasts are stuffed with a mixture of mushrooms, mozzarella cheese, and other vegetables. The sauce calls for tomato soup but cream of mushroom soup or a seasoned bechamel sauce may be used as well. Or use a jar of prepared chicken gravy and omit the water.
- 6 boneless chicken breast halves
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 4 ounces sliced mushrooms
- 1 rib celery, thinly sliced
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons fine dry breadcrumbs
- 2 teaspoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Salt and pepper
- 1 can (10 1/2 ounces) condensed tomato soup or cream of mushroom
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon leaf
- Basil, crumbled
Steps to Make It
Place chicken pieces between sheets of plastic or waxed paper and gently pound with a meat mallet to flatten evenly. Be careful not to tear or break through.
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil and butter; sauté onion slices, mushrooms, and celery until tender. Add egg, parsley, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and mozzarella cheese. Stir to blend well.
Sprinkle chicken breasts with salt and pepper; fill with even portions of the filling mixture. Roll up and secure with toothpicks.
Arrange chicken breasts in a shallow 3-quart baking dish, spooning any extra filling around the chicken rolls.
Mix soup with 1/2 cup water and the basil; pour over chicken.
Bake at 350 F, basting occasionally with sauce in the baking dish, for 55 minutes to 1 hour.
Remove toothpicks and serve with hot cooked rice or potatoes.
Variations: Omit the soup and 1/2 cup of water and make about 2 cups of seasoned white sauce or easy gravy.

My memories of January 14, 2015, are sketchy at best. I remember the operation was scheduled at the beginning of the hospital day because the surgeon said the procedure itself could take up to six hours. The night before I didn't bother trying to get too much sleep, partly because I knew I couldn't, and partly because I wanted to be as certain as possible of pure unconsciousness throughout the surgery. I'd never been put under anesthesia before, and I didn't know how my body would react. I wasn't taking any chances.
That morning we arrived at the hospital at 4-something AM, where we were met by two of my friends who had kindly driven in from out of town to be with me. They presented me with belated birthday gifts, a steampunkish necklace and a Cheshire cat pillow, in the hopes of cheering me up a little. It worked, at least for a little while.
Waiting in the actual waiting room was hard; waiting in the pre-op room was harder. I changed into my hospital gown and lay on my back as a nurse jabbed IV needles (the worst kind of needles) in both my arms. I lay there. And lay there some more.
One by one my family and friends came in to see me. One of my friends, someone who had been through a difficult surgery himself only a couple of years before, someone who also happens to have the worst poker face in history, took one look at me, at the gown, at the needles, and went white as a sheet. In a bizarre twist I found myself comforting him, telling him I would be fine and not to worry.
The worst moment came just before they wheeled me away to the operating room. The last thing I remember before the anesthesia hit is my mom rushing in at the last minute to see me again before I went, her eyes bloodshot and her face uncharacteristically wet with tears. Up until that moment I'd been fairly calm, at least on the outside, but the sight of my mom crying over me sent my system into full-blown panic mode and I broke down sobbing even as I tried to tell her I'd be okay. Later she said she'd just been tired and overwhelmed with everything, but at the time all I could think was, "This is it. That was goodbye."
Anesthesia is like falling asleep. You don't even realize it's happening until you wake up on the other side of it.
I consider it a blessing I don't remember anything about the operation itself. I didn't have one of those weird out-of-body experiences people always describe on talk shows; I didn't float over myself watching the procedure, or fly to Paris on a spur-of-the-moment astral projection trip. I slept like the dead.
I didn't get the details of how it all went down until much later, during my final follow-up appointment with my surgeon. All the stress of my situation and the holidays and pre-op testing had pushed me to a critical point by the time of the procedure. Normally, an aortic aneurysm that measures 5.5cm or more, or that expands more than half a centimeter within a six-month period, is considered dangerous and requires surgery right away. At the time of my operation, mine measured exactly 5.5cm, meaning it had grown almost a full centimeter in just a little over one month.
When my surgeon came out of the operating room at the end of the day to tell my parents how things had gone, he'd described my aneurysm as "impressive," and he'd remarked (jokingly — I hope) he wished he could have taken a picture. Weirdest. Compliment. Ever.
Then again, my surgery was a bit of a production. Aside from my surgeon and his partner and a couple of cardiac health experts, a couple of representatives from the company that manufactured my mechanical valve attended my bloody little party as well. I never fully knew whether it was because of my highly peculiar demographic (I am one of the least likely people to require that particular procedure) or simply because On-X valves are still relatively new in the medical world. Either way, it was somewhat comforting knowing just how many highly trained personnel would be on hand if anything did happen to go wrong during the operation.
Thankfully, nothing did go wrong, though my surgeon did mention I needed a bit of a blood transfusion towards the end of the procedure to make up for excess lost blood. He had actually expected this would happen; it's very common for redheaded patients to bleed more during surgery. Joy.
This is the third post in a five-part series about my experience with aortic valve replacement surgery. Links to the rest of the posts in the series are listed below.

16 Inspiring Instagram Accounts You Need To Follow
Some people were just born for Instagram, and will rightly take their place in the most inspiring Instagram accounts hall of fame. Like, I respect that Instagram wasn't around yet when we were all birthed into this world, but it would eventually become some of y'all's destinies to amass a ton of followers by 'gramming pictures of your breakfast. I respect your journey. I, for one, have nominated myself as the world's worst photographer, and was so late to the Instagram party that I don't trust myself to pick a filter on my own, let alone post something. Thankfully there are plenty of actually competent humans to pick up the slack where photo failures such as myself have left off.
I don't know what kind of person you pretend to be on Instagram, but I do know that I am 100% on board with people's filtered, perfectly angled versions of their truths. Instagram has a way of taking something extraordinary and eternalizing it in a pocket-sized, perfect snippet for the internet. Hell, even things that seem totally ordinary seem amazing on Instagram. You can feel the Insta inspo wherever you go. But if you're hungry for more inspiration on Instagram, be it wander lust, empowerment, or an all-purpose brand of inspo, then here are some of the accounts you should be following right now:
Married couple Dave and Deb have traveled to some of the most breathtaking places in the world, and lucky for the internet, they have chronicled all of their journeys, one insane landscape at a time.
I'm pretty sure that Kate Arends' life is what a sentient Pinterest board looks like. The rest of your life may be in a total clutter, but here, everything is organized and beautiful and bright.
Tanesha Awasthi, a body positive beauty and fashion blogger who heads up Girls With Curves, Instagrams major fashion inspo while balancing work and family like a total boss.
This account, run by the organization Charity Water, shows just how much of an impact even the smallest of donations make for the 748 million people without regular access to clean water.
Brandon and his work really don't need an introduction. Odds are you're already following Humans Of New York on Facebook, but it is every bit as inspiring and tear-jerking in Insta format.
This account is literally on a mission to spread happiness, one inspiring quote at a time.
Cinnamon the Shiba is sick with glaucoma, but he never lets that get him down. This little dude has fans all over New York City for his insatiable, perpetual smile. I dare anyone not to smile back.

Photographer Mattias experiments with color schemes so rich that he basically stole a rainbow and put it on Instagram.
The famous #FollowMeTo couple just got married and had one hell of a trip around the world, and the pictures are a feast for the eyeballs.
Pretty much a DIY Disney Land. This Instagram proves that even the least crafty humans are capable of making something awesome.
This account is run by young professionals to inspire young professionals. These quotes will get you up and running faster than a cup of coffee.
The Oh Happy Day Instagram is basically what it feels like to be your own walking confetti cloud.

Ray Collins braves seemingly death-defying waters in the frigid cold to capture these surreal shots of ocean waves.
Nothing will make you appreciate this planet that you live on quite like this diverse Instagram will. It features images from photographers all over the world, each one of them breathtaking in their own unique way. It will make you want to kiss all your frequent flier miles goodbye.

ECMTC is in the news!
On February 15, a reporter from The Kingsville Reporter newspaper attended the club to interview Chris Seguin and Jim Walton. He also took a number of photographs after which, he indicated the story of our club and the upcoming open house would run in the February 21 issue of the paper. We are hopeful this will encourage people to come out and visit us.
On February 21, Jim was interviewed via telephone by a reporter from the Windsor Star. Initially, there wasn't a high degree of confidence the story would even make it to press. Later that afternoon, Jim was informed a photographer would attend to take some still photos and some video! The photographer and reporter collaborated and the end result was the story in the link below:
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the link was shared to facebook where it was shared again by several other people. With all of this attention, we hope to see record crowds out to visit with us!

WoT Servers Maintenance
first of all, the 9.14 Test Server First Phase is now over, Ph3lan from EU forums, as usual is giving more info than NA's staff:
"The Common Test was switched off at 16.30, the first phase of the test server is over, thank for your participation. There will be a second phase of the test coming in the future…"
Second, there will be a micropatch tomorrow, GhostPrime on the NA forums has said that it will only affect the West NA Server:
"There are plans to release Micropatch 9.13_6 on February 18th, 2016
The maintenance will begin at 3:30am Pacific Time (11:30 UTC) and will last approximately 25 minutes.
During maintenance, the World of Tanks West servers will be unavailable."
I've also noticed that tomorrow, RU servers will receive a maintenance of nearly 2 hours, I browsed around if EU is going to receive a server downtime as well but EU Costumer Service, who has somehow been able to not be completely useless after my rant, haven't said anything but I still don't trust them. I'm poking the EU staff that's still online at this hour and try to get an answer, if you don't hear anything from me it means that is just likely some isolated/geographical maintenances.
…And as I was about to click on "publish" after poking them, a magical announcement appeared:
"Greetings Commanders!
On the 18/02/2016 at 05:30 UTC, the World of Tanks EU1 Cluster will be unavailable for approximately 25 minutes as we perform maintenance work.
Thank you for your understanding and patience.
Roll out!
Your Customer Service Team"
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) There you go…

USC's Blackstone Launchpad has teamed with Google and local mobile platform development startup Victorious to host a Google TV hackathon at USC Annenberg this Saturday, February 7, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
YouTube celebrity and USC Cinematic Arts alumnus FreddieW will be in attendance. The event, which will take place in the Annenberg Innovation Lab and Blackstone Launchpad facility (the ASC west lobby), is expected to bring together developers from around Southern California. Attendees will arrange into small groups,known as pods, to dig into Google TV developer code and work on building the next generation of platforms and apps.
The event comes on the heels of last November's HackSC, an open hackathon that saw more than 750 developers from universities all over California take over the entire ASC building. Saturday's event is the first of its kind, focused specifically on Google's Android TV and will not be quite as large, but the Blackstone team expects about 150 developers to take part.

Want to see a super cute card that my mom made?? Okay!
This whale is a Cameo cut - cute, huh? She took the pink cheeks off the original design. That is what makes the Cameo such a versatile tool - you can edit and make things your own! She stamped the sentiment. I love how she made the waves out of patterned paper!
And she made a matching envelope :) How adorable!

We could all use a vacation every once in a while, and timeshares seem to be the perfect fit for those planning to escape to paradise annually like clockwork. Though timeshares have seen a lot of growth and popularity over the years, there's still some strings attached that might make you reconsider investing in an out-of-town retreat property. If you've ever needed an installment loan to bounce back from a financial emergency, you may want to consider the following factors before investing in a timeshare property.
Timeshares and how they work vary depending on what kind you buy into. Some timeshares, for example, offer a certain period of time to which you could stay at the property. Generally, it's the same week every year. You'll have that week locked in no matter what, so you can plan your vacation without worrying about booking a place in time. Other timeshares, however, may allow you the freedom to reserve your place at any time of year, but the problem here is you may find yourself competing for available weeks with other shareholders. No matter what timeshare you invest in, you won't have complete freedom to go there whenever you want. There are rules to follow since you're sharing with others.
According to this year's State of the Vacation Timeshare Industry report, the average price point for a timeshare property is well over $20,000. To some, that's a bill that's well worth paying to have your own private vacation home waiting for you year after year. But for others, $20,000 just isn't worth the privacy. If you think about it, timeshares can be a good deal for those who are already vacationing several times a year in the first place. If you're used to putting up cash for week-long hotel stays year after year, that cost can get overbearingly high down the road. These individuals may benefit from the one-time cost for a permeant place to vacation for years to come. But let's face it, this doesn't describe the majority. Most of us would rather find a cheaper way to relax.
It's always important to keep in mind the other costs that come with owning a timeshare. Maintenance fees alone average $980, not to mention other fees (depending on location) such as transfer fees, recording fees and even assessment fees in the case when major repairs need to be done. All of this could easily add up to thousands of dollars on top of what you already paid. You may also be required to pay part of the property taxes too since you would be part owner of the property. Consider these extra expenses before acting on a timeshare purchase.
As always, anytime you're considering a big purchase like this, it's wise to be cautious. Hidden scams are everywhere and timeshare scams in particular are very common. Several companies may promise a timeshare that sounds too good to be true – and more often than not, they are. Before investing in a timeshare property, do your homework. Research the company you're interested in buying from and check their customer reviews. The Better Business Bureau is a good place to start your research. Take your time and always consider alternative options. You never know what better offers you'll find.
Overall, if you're struggling financially in this period of your life, it may be wise to hold off on such a big purchase altogether; at least for now. But don't stress! There are always more affordable ways to find the rest and relaxation you crave.

.ittle time to consider of them. As to when it may be the best time for me to return hither and meet you again, I shall leave that to'your consideration.
Loan Wni'rnocxa. "Your Highness will be pleased to appoint your own time.'
THE Loan PROTECTOR. On Monday at nine of the clock I will be ready to wait upon you.*
And so, with many bows, meant—Thus they, doing their epic feat, not in the hexameter measure, on that old Saturday fore noon, 11 April, 1657 ; old London, old England, sounding manifoldly round them ;--the Fifth-Monarchy just looked in the Tower.
Our learned friend Bulstrode says: 'The Protector often advised about this' of the Kingship 'and other great businesses with the Lord Broghil, Pierrepoint' \Earl of Kingston's Brother, an old Long-Parliament man), with 'Whitlocke, Sir Charles Wolseley, and Thurloe; and would be shut up three or four hours together in private discourse, and none were admitted to come in to him. He would sometimes be very cheerful with them; and laying aside his greatness, he would be exceeding familiar; and by way of divsrsion would make verses,' play at crambo, ' with them, and every one must try his fancy. He (commonly called for tobacco, pipes and a candle, and would now and then take tobacco himself 5' which was a very high attempt. ' Then he would fall again to his serious and great business' of the Kingship ; ' and advise with them in those affairs. And this he did often with them ; and their counsel was accepted and' in part ' followed by him in most of the greatest afi'airs,—-as it deserved to betf
MY Loan,
I think I have a very hard task on my hand. Though it be but to give an account of myself, yet I see I am beset on all hands here. I say but to give an account of " myself :" yet that is a business very comprehensive of others :—' comprehending' us all in some sense, and, as the Parliament have been pleased to shape it, comprehending all the interests of these Three Nations !
I confess I have two things in view. The first is, To return some answer to what was so well and ably said the other day on behalf of the Parliament's putting that Title in the Instrument of Settlement. [This is the First thing; what the Second is, does not yet for a long while appear.] I hope it will not be expected I should answer everything that was then said: because I suppose the main things that were spoken were arguments from ancient Constitutions and Settlements by the Laws ; in which I am sure I could never be well skilled,—and therefore must the more ask pardon for what I have already transgressed 'in speaking of such matters,' or shall now transgress, through my ignorance of them, in my ' present' answer to you.
Your arguments, which I say were chiefly upon the Law, seem to carry with them a great deal of necessary conclusiveness, to inforce that one thing of Kingship. And if your arguments come upon me to inforca upon me the ground of Necessity,-why, then, I have no room to answer: for what must he must be! And therefore I did reckon it much of my business to consider whether there were such a necessity,
'or would arise such a necessity, from those arguments—It was said: " Kingship is not a Title, but an Ofiice, so interwaven with the fundamental Laws of this Nation, that they cannot, or cannot well be executed and exercised without ' it,'—-partly, if I may say so, upon a supposed ignorance which the Law hath of any other Title. It knows no other: neither doth any know another. And, by reciprocation,this said Title, or Name, or Office, you were farther pleased to say, is understood ; in the dimensions of it, in the power and prerogatives of it: which are by the Law made certain; and the Law can tell when it [Kingship] keeps within compass, and when it exceeds its limits. And the Law knowing this, the People can know it also. And the People do love what they know. And it will neither be pro salute populi, nor for our safety, to obtrude upon the People what they do not nor cannot understand)? .
It was said also, " That the People have always, by their representatives in Parliament, been unwilling to vary Names,—seeing they love settlement and known names, as was said before." And there were tw: good instances given of that: the one, in King James's time, about his desire to alter somewhat of the Title : and the other in the Long Parliament, where they being otherwise rationally moved to adopt the word " Representative" instead of "Parliament," refused it for the same reason. [Lenthall tries to blush.]—It was said also, " That the holding to this word doth strengthen the ' new' Settlement; for hereby there is not anything de novo done, but merely things are revolved in their old current." It was said, "That it is the security of the Chief Magistrate, and that it secures all who act under him."—Truly these are the principal of those grounds that were offered the other day, so far as I do recollect.
I cannot take upon me to refel those grounds; they are so strong and rational. But if I am to be able to make any answer to them, I must not grant that they are necessarily conclusive; I must take them only as arguments which perhaps have in them much conveniency, much probability towards conclusiveness. For if aremedy or expedient may be found, they-are not of necessity, they are not inevitable grounds : and if not necessary or concluding grounds, why then they will hang upon the reason of expediency or conveniency. 'And if so,I shall have a little liberty 'to speak ;' otherwise I am concluded before I speak—Therefore it will behove me to say what I can, Why these are not necessary reasons; why they are not—why it* is not (I should say) so interwoven in the Laws but that the Laws may still be executed as justly, and as much to the satisfaction of the people, and answering all objections equally well, without such a Title as with it. And then, whenI have done that, Ishall only take the liberty to say a. word or two for my, own groundssl' And when I have said whatl can say as to that 'latter point,'—I hope you will think a great deal more than I say. [Not convenient to SPEAK everything in so iieklish a predicament; with Deputations 1; 11 Hundred Oflicers, and so many "scrupulous fellows," "ermsiderable in their own conceit," glaring into the business, with eyes much sharper than they are deep! '
" The Kingship: his Highness finds that the grammar will require to be Attended to.
f ' Grounds' originating with myself independently of yours. Is this the " second" thing, which his Highness had in view, but did not specify afler the " first," when he started? The issue proves it to be so.
Office which runs through the ' whole of the' Law; yet is it not so ratione nominis, by reason of the name, but by reason of what the name signifies. It is a Name of Oflice plainly implying aSupreme Authority: is it more; or can it be stretched to more? I say, it is a Name of Ofiice plainly implying the Supreme Authority: and if so, why then I should suppose,—I am not peremptory in anything that is matter of deduction or inference of my own,—but I should suppose that whatso~ ever name hath been or shall be the Name under which the Supreme Authority acts—[Sentence abruptly stops; the conclusion being visible without speechl] Why, I say, if it had been those Four or Five Letters, or whatever else it had been—! That signification goes to the thing, certainly it does; and not to the name.' [Certainly !] Why, then, there can no more be said but this: As such a Title hath been fixed, so it may be unfixed. And certainly in the right of the Authority, I mean the Legislative Power,—in the right of the Legislative Power, I think the Authority that could christen it with such a name could have called it by another name. Therefore the name is only derived from that ' Authority.' And certainly they, 'the primary Legislative Authority,'.had the disposal of it, and might have detracted 'from it,' changed 'it :'and I hope it will be no offence to say to you, as the case now stands, " So may you." And if it be so that you may, why then I say, there is nothing of necessity in your argument; and all turns on consideration of the expedience of it. [Is the Kingship expedient ?]
Truly I had rather, if I were to choose, if it were the original question,—which I hope is altogether out of the question [His Highness means afar ofl'fl in a polite manner, "YOU don't pretend that I still need to be made Protector by you or by any creature ."'],-—-I had rather have any Name from this Parliament than any other Name without it : so much do I value the authority of the Parliament. And I believe all men are of my mind in that; I believe the Nation is very much of my mind,-—though it be an uncertain way of arguing, what mind they are of.* I think we may say it without offence; for I would give none! [No qfi'ence to you, Honorable Gentlemen, who are here by function, to interpret and signify the Mind If _ the Nation. It is rery diflicult to do !]—Though the Parliament be the truest way to know what the mind of the Nation is, yet if the Parliament will be pleased to give me a liberty to reason for myself; and if that be one of your arguments—[" That :" what, your Highness? That the mind of the Nation, well interpreted by this Parliament, is really for a King? That our Laws cannot go on without a King Il—His Highness means the former mainly, but means the latter too; means several things together, as
* Naturally a delicate subject : some assert the Nation has never recognized his Highness,--his Highness being of a very different opinion indeed !
his manner sometimes is, in abstruse cases !]—I hope I may urge against that the reason of my own mind is not quite to that effect. But I do say undoubtingly (let us think about other things, ' about the mind of the Nation and such like,' what we will), what the Parliament settles is what will run, ' and have currency,' through the Law; and will lead the thread of Government through this Land equally well as what hath been. For I consider that what hathbeen was upon the same account, ' by the same authority.' Save that there hath been some long continuance of the thing [This thing of Kingship], it is but upon the same account! It had its original somewhere ! And it was with consent of the Whole,—-there is the original of it. And consent of the whole will ' still,' I say, be the needle that will lead the thread through all [The same tailor-metaphor a second time] and I think no man will pretend right against it, or wrong !
And if so, then, under favor to me, I think these arguments from the Law are all not as of necessity, but are to be understood as of conveniency. It is in your power to dispose and settle; and beforehand we can have confidence that what you do settle will be as authentic as the things that were of old,-especially as this individual thing, the Name, or Title,— according to the Parliament's appointment. ' Is not this so '2 It is question not of necessity; we have power to settle it as conveniency directs.' Why then, there will (with leave) be way made for me to ofl'er a reason or two to the other considerations you adduced : otherwise, I say my mouth is stopped! [His Highness is plunging in deep brakes and imbroglios ,hopes, however, that he now sees daylight athwart them]
There are very many inforcements to carry on this thing. [Thing 9f the Kingship.] But I suppose it will ' have to ' standon its expediency—Truly I should have urged one consideration more which I forgot [Looks over his shoulder in the jungle, and bethinks him .'],—-namely, the argument not of reason only, but of experience. It is a short one, but it in a true one (under favor), and is known to you all in the fact of it (under favor) [A damnable iteration; but too characteristic to be omitted] : That the Supreme Authority going by another Name and under another Title than that of King hath been, why it hath been already twice complied with ! [Long Parliament, called" Keepers qf the Liberties of England," found compliance; and now the " Protectorate " finds] ' Twice :' under the Custodes Libertatis Anglia, and also since I exercised the place, it hath been complied with. And truly I may say that almost universal obedience hath been given by all ranks and sorts of men to both. Now this ' on the part of both these Authorities,' was a beginning with the highest degree of Magistracy at the first alteration ; and 'at a time ' when that ' Kingship' was the name ' established :' and the new

Last week, a bear broke into several homes in Arrow Heights, some of them twice. Bears in other parts of town have also been causing havoc – ripping siding off houses, breaking fences, tearing into garbage sheds, pushing on windows, and generally becoming very comfortable dining on our unmanaged foods.
Garbage is the most common bear attractant in Revelstoke, especially at this time of year when fruit trees are mostly finished. It is the responsibility of each and every resident of Revelstoke to ensure that their garbage is not accessible to bears. Quite aside from the bylaw that says as much, our neighbourhood safekeeping depends upon it.
The city is currently considering creating a bear-resistant garbage collection system. Please lend your support to this issue by asking council candidates their views on timely implementation of the system.
For more information regarding management of wildlife attractants, please see www.revelstokebearaware.org.

A Pooch With Mojo
I used Julee's Mojo Monday sketch for this card. I started with Poochie's panel, and built out from there. The oval is cut with a Coluzzle. The scalloped oval I trimmed by hand with scalloped scissors. His sweater is paper pieced with some Basic Grey Lollipop Shoppe designer paper. I watercolored the ice, swirl, and outline with classic inks and a waterbrush. The large panel is sponged with always artichoke and chocolate chip to even out the designer paper's slightly distressed look.
Thanks for stopping by, and thanks for the challenge Julee! By the way, one of my favorite parts of winter: watching my dog play in the snow.
What's In It?
Stamps: Poochie Christmas (The Cat's Pajamas)
Ink: Timber Brown (StazOn); Red Magic (Versamagic); soft sky, cool caribbean, blush blossom, cameo coral, mellow moss (Stampin' Up!)
Paper: white (Papertrey Ink); chocolate chip (SU!); Blitzen, Color Me Silly, Lollipop Shoppe (Basic Grey); Mint Espresso (EK Success)
Accessories: Stardust Stickles; Making Memories crystal brads; May Arts ribbon; waterbrush

The Rajesh Wadhawan Group and Hrithik Roshan co-owned Indian Super League team FC Pune City announced today their marquee player, signing former Liverpool and Juventus star Mohamed Sissoko for the 2016 edition of the league, subject to medical clearance. The 31-year-old, Indian Super League's youngest marquee player, was a part of the Liverpool side that won the Community Shield in 2006 and FA Cup in 2005-06. He also won UEFA Super Cup back-to-back in 2004 & 2005, first with Valencia and then with Liverpool. He won La Liga title with Los Che in 2003-04 season.
Speaking at the introduction of champion midfielder, Mr. Gaurav Modwel, CEO of FC Pune City said, "Sissoko is a marquee player in all the true senses. He has played with some of the top European clubs in the world making meritorious contributions to every team he has donned the jersey for – be it Valencia, Liverpool, Juventus, Paris St. Germain or Mali National Team. He is known for his intimidating presence on the field with a considerable physical prowess to match his style of play. Besides he also is the league's youngest marquee player, I am sure the team and players are equally excited as I am to have him on board."
Born in France, Sissoko opted to play for his ancestral country Mali making his international debut in 2004. He started his youth career in 1998 with French club Auxerre. In 2003, the defensive midfielder moved to Spain representing Valencia CF on free transfer. Sissoko was an integral part of Valencia when they won La Liga (2003-04) as well as UEFA Cup (2004) under the management of Rafael Benitez.
Expressing his excitement on joining FC Pune City, Sissoko said, "The moment FC Pune City expressed their interest and discussed their plans, I knew this was the challenge I would love to take up. Coach Habas and FC Pune City management showed full confidence in me and I will do everything in my abilities to fight for a place in starting XI for every game because FC Pune City team is so good and compact."
In the summer of 2005, the midfielder joined Benitez at Liverpool in England. From 2005-2008 at Merseyside, Sissoko was an integral part of the team that won the FA Cup in 2006. His exceptional performance with the English club prompted European giants like Barcelona, CSKA Moscow and Juventus to show interest in him. But he chose to stay with Liverpool until 2008.
Sissoko then joined Italian giants Juventus in 2008. He teamed up with Claudio Ranieri, his coach at Valencia, after Benitez left for Liverpool. He represented the Turin side 71 times until injuries kept him out of action. In 2011, he joined the Ligue 1 side Paris St. Germain where he played for them for a couple of years and even captained the French giants. He then represented Fiorentina and Levante for short stints before moving to Shanghai Shenhua in 2015.
Head Coach Antonio Habas, who coached Sissoko at Valencia CF, was happy to join forces again. "Sissoko is a true professional having played for reputed clubs across Europe. He told us that he is ready to take the field whenever required. He is known to be a great ball winner, a role that will allow him to support our offence for winning back possession. I am excited at the prospect of working with him again, this time for bringing glory to FC Pune City."
