'The North Star State'
The North Star symbol is found in the flag, the seal, and the motto: "L'Etoile du Nord".
The state name derives from the language of the Sioux and means 'water with clouds'.
The two big cities in the state are St. Paul and Minneapolis which melted together over the years which is the reason for their nickname: "Twin Cities". The Mississippi River divides both cities.

So sorry for the delay!! I got to go out of town with my hubby to San Fransisco and it was amazing. He and I went there for our honeymoon so it was very fun to go back and relive part of it. Anyways so here are my pictures from those days I was gone up until today!! EEEK!! So Friday (Day 15) is the day I left the night before my oldest Daxton thought it would be cool to cut his own hair because he wanted to be like his dad.... well he used to have a mowhawk after his very professional cut not so much anymore.. I freaked out he looked ridiculous and of course Layne who usually cuts their hair was already out of town on business so I rushed him to the barber to fix it up here is the before picture.. can you see it he cut 3 different sizes EEEEK. He looks much better now and so grown up!! The next day is of the Alcatraz (Day 16) it is so beautiful there. I love the look of the ocean and this little jail with so much history. Then comes the one of Ripley's believe it or not the museum (day 17)was pretty cool. This particular picture is Layne and I in this cool pyramid room. The next is of us at the 49er game (day 18). Laynes been a huge fan his whole life and has never been to a game so he was like a kid on Christmas. It was so fun seeing him so excited at the game and to top it off our team won! YAHOO!! The next day is of a shot from the airplane (Day 19)... I think its so cool what the world looks like from up above. I pictured myself flying through the clouds with Kael. It was a sweet feeling. All in all this past week has been amazing. It was nice to get a break just Layne and I and do the things we really love together. I love him so much and am so glad he is my hubby. He amazes me each day and I just love him to pieces. I am so grateful for him and all of his love and support. I hope you enjoy the pictures.

One of the things I do miss living by in the back country is the ability to jump online and post my attempts at mediocre entertainment. I am sure this will pass once the dust settles and life becomes "normal" once again, but I have yet to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I can at least, continue with this hobby and randomly share the usual B/S I dump here once I hit civilization. Though "normal" has many different meaning for everyone, my definition of this word is to reach a point where all the moving has been completed and I have returned to a level of comfort, relaxation and laziness. I may have to replace the laziness variable with something a bit more dynamic as there is a lot of work to be done at my new digs, which may be beneficial, as over the past 2 years, I have become somewhat soft. Hell, let's be honest here. REALLY soft. Getting back into shape will be time-consuming but the benefit will outweigh the pain and agony of becoming tough, or at least, semi-calloused. I was taught as a young child that learn the art of hard work is prerequisite of becoming a man of good character. I continue to carry this lesson and am grateful for having this trait, though my definition of "hard work" has changed. I am also grateful that many others carry this trait . There are those who believe that life is not a free ride and that going the extra mile results in successfully achieving goals. Whether in work or play, giving that 100% shows strength and commitment to life. These are the people who make a difference in their own lives, the lives of their family and friends, their community, church, school and country. You know who you are…give yourself a high-five….
"If A equals success, then the formula is A equals X plus Y and Z, with X being work, Y play, and Z keeping your mouth shut." Albert Einstein

This film dramatizes powerfully conflicts associated with family life and living in Iran. It addresses its subject-matter with equality, respect, and sincerity. Its themes include parent-child relationships, separation, ethical decision-making, justice, and religious commitment. Its power is strengthened by the Director's invitation to the viewer to engage with suggested solutions. It maintains creatively tension throughout, and never loses the integrity of its individual themes. The film communicates different moral viewpoints effectively in a realistic, and culturally sensitive way.(Jury motivation)

Gosh how time flies. Its already nearing November end and I have not written in months. Things are very different in the park this season. With the loss of the tigress Durga and the fact that Pyari and her cubs are gone from the Tala Range mean there are many changes taking place amongst the tigers in Bandhavgarh. However thankfully B2 Sundar is hanging on to some territory even though he is being pushed hard by P10 Shashi. We thought perhaps T1 Kallu would push him out of Ghorademon during the monsoon but this seems not to have happened and good old B2 is still walking Banbehi, Ghorademon and Milchaini. He had a few cut injuries recently whether from a fight or an encounter with a few cows no one is quite sure but he seems fine and no tranquilizing or stitches has stopped him going about his business.
I have little news of either Bohka/Shaki or the other young males T2 Kallu's brother or D3 son of Durga. No sightings or so few to be sure what is happening. We will have to wait a while longer to see if any are still roaming the park at ease?
As too the tigresses. Lakshmi our limping Lady is still managing to bring up her family. She is quite amazing but her limp is no longer a limp but a hop on three legs. However with the help of the Forest Department the cubs look pretty good. Both Indrani in Mahaman and Tulsi in Milchaini are fine too. Still raising full families and seen fairly regularly. In fact Tulsi's three are the main stars of the park right now. Great sightings at the pool playing and in the meadow carrying a dead monkey. I am afraid however that 14 year old Pyari seems to have left the park for good and allowed the young tigress D4 daughter of Durga to take control. This little tigress is pushing Lakshmi in both Sidh Baba and Barua Nallah so I hope Lakshmi can hold her own under her injury? D4's sister D5 has taken her mothers territory in Rajbehra and though seldom seen as yet seems content to stay. I have named Durgas daughters with a name related to Durga and the meaning of Victory. D4 being called Vijaya and D5 Jaya. A third young tigress R17 daughter of Reshma is in the hills around Banbehi. She was said to have eaten a poisoned goat recently but survived due to the intervention of Forest staff. I have called her Wakeeta meaning beautiful flower. Its a Sanksit name. You may think I should not name these tigers so but I use the mothers intitial to keep track of their cubs and what happens to them. Hence I have to search for names starting with unused letters of the alphabet when new tigress settle. You might have recognized however that all the male names begin with S! And finally Chameli in Magdhi range is fine too and seen with four cubs not three!
So things look pretty good for the park in the future with three young tigress settling inside Tala range. However there is a huge worry about the actual prey base right now as more and more cows get taken from around the perifery of the park and the tigers continue to hop over the fencing to visit the villages by night. Difficult to say what the future holds and as we all know so few of the youngsters ever survive if they go out beyond the Tala area.
More again soon but meantime a couple of pictures from my recent siughtings. Not great photos but great to see. Hopefully the artwork will be better?

Teenage stars Fayzov and Mullojonov won the titles in the Uzbekistan National Championships
The 26th edition of the Uzbekistan National Championships for their men boxers was held in the city of Termez which is located in the southernmost part of the country near to the Afghan boarder. Khudoynazar Fayzov and Lazizbek Mullojonov both are only 18 but won their weight classes in the National Championships in Termez.
The number of the elite male boxers was 207 in the new edition of the Uzbek National Boxing Championships in Termez in spite of the fact some of their top athletes did not attend in the competition. The best Uzbek boxers amazed the crowd in the Tashkent 2017 ASBC Asian Confederation Boxing Championships where their stars achieved nine gold medals. Furthermore their welterweight (69kg) No.1 Shakhram Giyasov became AIBA World Champion in Hamburg, Germany three months ago.
Tashkent region's Khudoynazar Fayzov claimed the gold medal in the Uzbek Youth National Championships which was a small surprise from the 18-year-old boxer. The teenage talent, who began boxing in 2011 and had 70 fights during his career, shocked WSB boxer Nodirjon Mirzakhmedov in the semi-final and did enough to beat Islamic Solidarity Games bronze medallist Mironshokh Ibragimov in the final of the light flyweight (49kg).
Ferghana's Abdulla Kuchkarov claimed the gold medal at the light flyweight (49kg) in the 2014 Uzbek National Championships. Since then he competed international events in Russia, in Azerbaijan, in Kyrgyzstan and in Bulgaria but his title at the flyweight (52kg) was a small surprise in Termez. The 22-year-old boxer defeated veteran Shakhriyor Isakov in the semi-final and triumphed over the defending champion Hasanboy Latibakhunov in the final.
Bukhara's Rio 2016 Olympic Games winner Shakhobiddin Zoirov returned to the world of boxing after his big success half year ago and adopted the level of the bantamweight (56kg) quickly. The 24-year-old boxer controlled his fights in his new weight class and following his close victory over ASBC Asian Confederation Youth Boxing Championships silver medallist Mirazizbek Mirzakhalilov, he maintained the best fighting distance against unbeaten WSB star Abdulkhay Sharakhmatov in the gold medal bout.
Tashkent's Shunkor Abdurasulov claimed bronze medal in the 2016 ASBC Asian Confederation Youth Boxing Championships in Pavlodar and the 19-year-old talent moved up to the lightweight (60kg) since his youth competitions. Abdurasulov, who spent great times in a South Korean training camp, defeated Bukhara's Zolotarev Memorial Tournament winner Shukurjon Rakhimov in the final of the national event.
In the absence of Hamburg 2017 AIBA World Boxing Championships silver medallist Ikboljon Kholdarov, Ferghana's Ziyovidin Tokhirov captured the title of the light welterweight (64kg). The 21-year-old boxer exceeded the previous expectations and defeated ASBC Asian Youth Champion Bilolbek Mirzarakhimov, Jakhongir Rasulov and Islamic Solidarity Games winner Aliyor Noraliyev during his road to the gold medal.
Surkhondarya's Strandja Memorial Tournament winner Makhmud Gaipov moved back to his original welterweight (69kg) and amazed the crowd in Termez with his excellent combinations. The 21-year-old boxer stopped WSB hope Fazliddin Meliboyev in the semi-final and continued his winning path against Islamic Solidarity Games winner Bobo-Usmon Boturov in the title contest.
Tashkent region's Akmurod Gafforov competed in the 2014 edition of the Uzbek National Championships but since then he was not able to reach top results. Gafforov defeated former AIBA Youth World Champion Akmalbek Kosimov in the semi-final of the middleweight (75kg) and outpointed Samarkand's Fanat Kakhramonov in the final.
Ferghana's AIBA Youth World Boxing Championships bronze medallist 20-year-old Kozimbek Mardonov moved up to the light heavyweight (81kg) this year and used his strength to beat Jaloleddin Uktamov and former Youth National Champion Madiyar Saidrakhimov in the final stages of the event.
Bukhara's Sardorbek Yormukhammedov competed in the World Series of Boxing four years ago and he moved ahead step by step in the Uzbek national ranking as well. The 24-year-old heavyweight (91kg) boxer captured his first ever national title following his successes over teenage talent Shokhruz Rakhimov, Jamshiddin Abdullaev and Khasankhon Baratov.
Ferghana's Lazizbek Mullojonov is a native talent at the super heavyweight (+91kg) who won the title in the ASBC Asian Confederation Youth Boxing Championships earlier this year. The 18-year-old boxer used his longer hands against Rustamjon Ismoilov, ASBC Asian Youth Champion Profsor Rorimsha and former AIBA Junior World Champion Mirzobek Hasanov. National Champion and ASBC Asian Confederation Youth Boxing Championships silver medallist Ulugbek Mubinov claimed only bronze medal in Termez.

From the masterpieces of Antoni Gaudí in Barcelona to the vibrant murals in my hometown of Houston, design inspiration is all around us. This is especially true in the eclectic capital of the Lone Star State!
A quick drive from Houston, Austin is the perfect destination for a weekend getaway and a dose of whimsical inspiration. On a recent trip with my husband, Michael, we hit some of our favorite spots and discovered some new places where we are sure to return.
In a city full of unique charm and plenty to see, here are some of the places I was inspired in Austin.
First Stop – Tacos!
Before even checking into the hotel, Michael and I stopped at Waltons for their delicious breakfast tacos. Not only are their tacos amazing, the industrial charm of the interior truly provides a welcoming experience from the minute you walk in the door.
The high ceilings don't make the space any less cozy (and the aroma of eggs, bacon and coffee doesn't hurt!). Walton's floral boutique creates a warm and friendly atmosphere.
These absolutely gorgeous exposed brick walls instantly give character to the space. The low-lit pendants complement the industrial vibe and add a rustic, vintage element. I just love everything about this interior!
Time to Check-In!
Whenever I visit Austin, I love to stay at different hotels. Last time, I enjoyed the Driskill Hotel, an Austin icon. The Driskill opened in 1886 and has a majestic feel and timeless, Texas, charm. Also, you can walk pretty much anywhere from its central location. Super important since Uber vacated Austin!
Pictures really don't do the interior justice; the lobby features marble inlaid floors and a custom stained glass ceiling as the focal point.
City Exploration
Not only do I look to interiors for inspiration, but the overall vibe of the city inspires even more. In an eclectic city like Austin, sometimes I find the best designs just walking the city. A walk through South Congress is bound to spark creativity.
For dinner, Michael and I joined friends at Fixe: now a new favorite of ours. Similar to Waltons, this restaurant's interior design has a quaint, cozy charm to it. The barrels and wall decor made of a variety of china patterns create an atmosphere that emulates the warm, welcoming southern hospitality for which Texas is known.
The entire restaurant is fantastically designed and I love the private dining room.I loved the patterned wallcovering with a mix of different tones and hues, and I wish I could have taken theirs back home with me! Additionally, the exposed Edison bulbs on the light fixtures emit a lovely low-lit, warm glow. Love, love, love.
Austin is so worth the visit. While I only had a weekend with the city, I was incredibly inspired and look forward to the next time I find myself there!

Hello and welcome to another edition of the Stamp Review Crew. If you're not familiar with our hops, we're a group of Stampin' Up demonstrators from around the globe who team up twice a month to highlight different stamp sets from the annual and seasonal catalogs.
This week we're featuring a set called You've Got This and I'm sure you're going to see some amazing ideas for this set. If you're hoping in order, you just came from Nikki's blog where I know you weren't disappointed.
I've made a few cards with this set, but I was stumped for a new idea for this hop. So I turned once again to a sketch challenge, this time from the Clean & Simple Stamping sketch challenge blog. This card shows a bit of a sneak peek from the new Occasions catalog that goes live on January 5 – a sheet of paper from the Birthday Bouquet dsp.
I picked out the Blushing Bride and Watermelon Wonder colors from the paper to color my flowers, which were fussy-cut and popped up above the background image from the set. I fudged on the sentiment a bit by using the word "you" from the Hello You thinlits and only inked up the last half of the sentiment stamp. This was in keeping with the sketch I used, but I kind of like it better that way – a little more slangy. The sequins were left over from another project – I think it was a previous Paper Pumpkin kit.
I hope you like my project. Deb is up next with projects I know you'll love. Thanks for stopping by.

How you can Shovel Snow Faster
Shovel more frequently
Utilize a press design shovel
No dah, right? No one intends to shovel greater than they need to right? But would you rather shovel a lot more often and conserve time or wait till you have a mound of snow to plow through and run the risk of harming your back?
With a little planning as well as a little effort, winter season shoveling can be a great deal quicker.
When it starts snowing you never ever understand if the snow will certainly be very easy or challenging to shovel. As quickly as there is a couple inches on the ground venture out there as well as shovel it off. Reasons
First it will be very easy shovel
You will see where all the obstacles
Makes preceding shoveling very easy
By getting out there very early you will certainly do less work, compared to if you wait. Lets say a huge snow storm is going down snow. If you wait to remove, the snow might be really hefty. You will not have the ability to see where your driveway ends as well as the lawn starts. The snow could possibly obtain stomped down meanings that you'll have to hang out getting rid of that packed snow.
Certain you'll do more snow shoveling however it will take you far see here much less time overall and also you can then grab your favored warm and comfortable beverage and watch others struggle to dig themselves out.
I've examined this myself and found that it was a lot easier as well as spent a great deal less time shoveling. I have a lot of time to treat the driveway as well as walkways and also maintained them clear all wintertime long. I ran out neck and back pain or sore hands. And found my neighbors following my same plan to their joy.
This will also provide you a possibility to gain a little money too, aiding other people dig themselves out. Include a snow rake to your car and also you could be done raking in no time. Try to find a good used snow plow.

Award winning Irish musician Pierce Turner is not only considered one of Ireland's greatest performers, he has won an award that says so! Also a favored son of Manhattan he returns to Joe's Pub fresh off the back of an Irish Tour to promote his "Stunning" new album "Love Can't Always Be Articulate" Upon his return he first performed as part of a star studded line-up at the Angela's Ashes 20th Anniversary late June. This show will feature a highly original Ensemble assembled to produce the sound of his new CD-Andriette Redman and Kath Green from Avon Faire on Vocals, Percussion and Bass, John Rokosny on Guitar, Mark Brotter on drums and Fred Parcells (Black 47) on Trombone.
The Irish Times declared him "Easily one of the most important Irish rock artists of the last twenty years" He was on the cover of New York Magazine hailed as "New York's undiscovered gem" His songs have been a host of movies - including the acclaimed HBO Show " The Wire" and the Academy award winning Director Jim Sheridan said that a Turner performance in New York inspired him to be fearless about making his classic "My Left Foot" The list of positive reviews go on forever, but all that is important really is to know that this is a great performer with such great songs that Liam Fay of the Sunday Times, said "He has created what I confidently believe to be the finest body of work in contemporary Irish music, bar none"

Sometime in October, 2015
300 bears killed in Florida in 2 days…. a hunting season or a condoned massacre? Commentators said that the bears were naive because they had not been hunted in so long; in other words they trusted the humans who murdered them. My higher choice would have been to say something profound and poetic here…..but my apologies in advance; the best I can come up with just now ….is, way to go assholes! Is there wonder that there has been random shootings of innocent people and terrified immigrants flowing out of their horrific environments like vomit? Really???? Don't think they're related? Perhaps that's naive.

Mark 10:32-52
Posted by markastonetx on Dec 22, 2014 in Sermons | 0 comments
The Savior's Answer Mark 10:32-52 Introduction As we continue our study of Mark's Gospel, we are back in Mark chapter 10. This chapter covers that period in Jesus' messianic mission in which Jesus left Capernaum and began making His way to Jerusalem. During this trip, it is becoming apparent to many that His messianic ministry is coming to its climax. In "going up to" Jerusalem (referring to the climb to city on the hill), Jesus is setting the stage for a final conflict with the religious leaders of Israel. This final conflict will lead to Jesus' death and His resurrection from the dead three days later. As we saw last week in Mark 10:17-31, a wealthy young man sought out Jesus and asked him: "What must I do to inherit eternal life?" Having realized from Jesus' answer that they can do nothing to save themselves, our passage — the balance of Mark 10 — will show that the disciples continue to struggle with their master's words. Let us read the first portion of tonight's text (vv. 32-34). "And they were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking ahead of them. And they were amazed, and those who followed were afraid. And taking the twelve again, he began to tell them what was to happen to him, 33 saying, "See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn him to death and deliver him over to the Gentiles.34 And they will mock him and spit on him, and flog him and kill him. And after three days he will rise." Let us pray. Dear heavenly Father, this is Your Word. We know that all Scripture is given by inspiration from You and is profitable for doctrine, reproof, instruction, and correction in the way of righteousness, so that the man of God might be thoroughly equipped for every good work. So equip us, then, O Lord, as we now study this, Your Word, together. In Christ's name, we pray. Amen. I love to visit museums. I find great joy in...Read More
Two Dozen Basic Management Principles — Pt. 18

The next thing he knew, he was next to Coach Mike Krzyzewski, the legendary Duke University basketball coach. Coach Jim Boeheim from Syracuse stood off to one side. Coach K put his hand on Lopez' shoulder. "We watched your news conference." "You did?" Lopez could not believe this. "We sure did. Listen, I need you to do me a favor. I want you to tell your story to my team exactly like you told it in that news conference. Tell these guys what it means to be an American and what it means to wear that jersey. I don't' think any of us understand it quite like you do." Lopez walked into the green room and into the presence of athletic royalty. The room was filled with guys he'd only watched on television. Kobe Bryant sat on one side of the room near Lebron James. Carmelo Anthony, who went to college in Syracuse, sat close to the front. The greatest basketball players in the world filled this room and their coach wanted Lopez to talk to them. Lopez' knees nearly knocked and his voice cracked a little when he started talking. But he did exactly what Coach K asked him to do. He told his story. Inside the room, every eye locked onto him. All of those players sat in complete silence as he spoke. They soaked in every word. After Lopez finished speaking, Coach K got up. "Now you guys know what this is all about. You are ambassadors for our great country. Now go out there and get it done." The team broke out in huge applause. Afterward, Lopez posed for photographs with the team. One player after another shook his hand and told him how much they appreciated what he had said. Lopez walked out of the room with a standing invitation to come hang out with the team whenever he wanted.

Pythium insidiosum
Description and Significance
Pythium insidiosum is a pathogenic species of water mold (oomycete) that infects humans and animals, primarily horses, cattle, dogs, and cats [2]. This microorganism is usually found in wet, swampy areas with dense vegetation [2]. Exposure to this organism occurs via contact with the water in which it lives as well as plants it is living on. Infection by this pathogen leads to a disease called Pythiosis, which is characterized by large lesions on the skin and in tissues such as the gastrointestinal tract; it also has a high mortality rate [3]. The issue of high mortality makes this pathogen a public health concern because infection advances quickly once it occurs; thus, early detection is crucial. P. insidiosum is well adapted to invading and thriving in its mammalian and plant host's tissues; its life cycle and motile zoospores increase its pathogenicity as well as the rate at which infection progresses. To address this issue, substantial research has been conducted on early detection methods using polymerase chain reaction, antigen identification, and other molecular and serological assay techniques [2] [4] [5]. Scientists have information about the organism itself in terms of its morphology and pathogenicity, yet more information is needed for early detection of this organism and rapid identification in a host, as well as genetic and structural information regarding this organism's genome. P. insidiosum currently kills large amounts of livestock and food crops in tropical developing nations, leading to high rates of infection and death in humans living in countries such as Thailand where agricultural land is swamp-like [5] [6], and affects domesticated pets in southern parts of the United States [6]. These events are presenting both economic and public health concerns that call for immediate attention.
The Organism
Genome Structure
The genome of P. insidiosum has not been sequenced [6]. Genomes of oomycete clades vary widely in size, some containing 19 to 21 million base pairs while others contain between 220-280 million base pairs, many of which make up non-coding DNA [7]. However, genomic sequencing of other species in the genus Pythium (to which this organism belongs) has revealed that some organisms in this genus have genomes that contain around 43 million base pairs with about 15,000 protein-coding genes with only 7 percent of the genome being repetitive DNA sequences [7]. As an oomycete, P. insidiosum is eukaryotic and its DNA is packed into chromosomes in a membrane-bound nucleus. Additionally, this organism is capable of carrying out horizontal gene transfer with some fungal species [8].
Cell Structure
This organism forms hyphae, which is a common structure of fungi; however this organism is not a true fungus for several reasons [9]. First, the cell wall does not contain chitin, but instead is composed of cellulose and β-glucans [9]. Second, the plasma membrane of the cells lacks ergosterol, which is a compound commonly found in fungi that helps convert alcohols into a usable form of vitamin D2 under ultraviolet light [2]. Third, this organism's cells are diploid in its vegetative state, while fungi are usually haploid in their vegetative state [10]. In fact, this organism, as an oomycete, is more closely related to kelp, specifically brown algae of the phylum Phaeophyta [11]. As for cell morphology and components, the cells of this organism are eukaryotic and have a round and spherical shape that includes many filamentous projections, vacuoles, a cell wall, and membrane bound organelles such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and others like those found in other eukaryotes [6]. Broad hyphae that are arranged at right angles projecting off of the main cell body are a distinguishing morphological characteristic of this organism [9].
Life Cycle and Zoosporogenesis
Pythium insidiosum is capable of reproducing asexually in plant and animal tissues as well as in aquatic environments, by producing sporangia and zoospores [6]. These structures are produced quickly in warm, moist conditions. Research indicates that it only takes about 35 minutes for the zoospores to be released once the sporangia are produced. During its asexual cycle, P. insidiosum creates sporangia at the end of its hyphae, and the protoplasm containing cytoplasmic fluids, ions, and organelles flows to the hyphal tip; the vesicle at the tip increases in size until the protoplasm stops flowing [6]. At this point, the base of the vesicle where it connects to the hyphal tip forms a cleavage and then forms biflagellate zoospores inside the vesicle [10]. The motile zoospores mechanically break the vesicle's wall and are released into the surrounding environment [10]. They are globose to ovoid in shape, have two flagella, and swim around from anywhere between 10-60 minutes before encystment, depending on the environment [2] [10]. They exhibit chemotaxis toward a favorable nutrient or substrate in an environment, and show more significant chemotaxis toward mammalian and plant tissue as well as animal hair; it is even more pronounced when the tissue is damaged [10]. Over time, zoospores slow down and settle in a particular place, where their two flagella detach, they encyst on a surface such as a piece of tissue, adhere to the surface by secreting a glycoprotein, and develop a germ tube that elongates into a filament like those of the original mature organism [10]. In environments containing plant and animal tissues, the zoospores move more directly and encyst more quickly, most often directly onto the tissues. Movement is much more random and encystment and germ tube production occur much more slowly in environments that only contain a control substance like water without nutrients or useful substrates [10]. This phenomenon shows how preferred these tissues are for this organism, which gives evidence about its pathogenicity and its ability to infect larger hosts quickly as a result of this strong exhibited preference.
Metabolic Processes
P. insidiosum uses its filamentous hyphae for feeding and nutrient uptake from the surrounding environment [6]. Because it lives in swampy ecosystems, it often decomposes decaying organic matter for nutrients. P. insidiosum also conducts aerobic respiration [6]. During decomposition, it secretes different enzymes and compounds into the surrounding environment and uses water and its hyphae to get nutrients to flow back to the organism to be digested [6]. However, the specific details of this mechanism are not yet described or understood. Metabolic activity is stimulated by the presence of magnesium, potassium, and calcium ions [6]. Additionally, P. insidiosum has a high affinity for iron, which can expedite or stimulate metabolic processes [12]. This activity is especially useful when P. insidiosum invades a host and depletes the resources available there, because iron can be readily available in host physiological environments [13].
P. insidiosum has a global distribution and is found in the tropics, subtropics, and some temperate regions [6]. It is present in ecosystems in Southeast Asia, South and Central America, Africa, and North America [6]. Its distribution is expanding because the climate in many areas of the world is becoming more tropical and warmer as a result of climate change. P. insidiosum is predominantly found in tropical wetland environments as well as similar wet, densely vegetated, swamp-like areas where a lot of decaying organic matter from plants is available to break down for nutrients [6]. It is also commonly found in soil, on decaying plant and animal materials, and in aquatic ecosystems such as ponds as well as grasses around the edges of them [6]. The aquatic environment is ideal for the production of zoospores, which can swim though the water, encyst on a surface, and germinate hyphae and start a new colony. P. insidiosum is well adapted to living in temperatures between 34ºC and 36ºC as well as 40ºC and 45ºC, and forms transparent, faintly white colonies in favorable environments [6]. Its primary ecological role is a decomposer (and thus a heterotroph), gaining most of its energy by decomposing decaying plant and animal matter and extracting organic sugars and other compounds for energy [6]. It is also a plant pathogen, infecting damaged plant tissues. Animals are susceptible to infection as well if they come into contact with P. insidiosum colonies in water or on plants.
P. insidiosum zoospores are the main vehicle for infection of host tissues [10] [13]. They exhibit strong chemotaxis to damaged tissues including hair, skin, plant tissue, and the gastrointestinal tract [6]. Infection occurs by the host being in direct contact with water or plants containing zoospores. Ingestion of water containing zoospores also leads to infection. Susceptibility is increased if the host already has a lesion or damage on the surface of the skin. Small puncture lesions from insect bites also provide an entry point for P. insidiosum [6] [14]. Some studies have shown that this oomycete is able to infect insects, which then transmit its cells and zoospores into the host bloodstream when they bite a host organism [15]. This presents an epidemiological concern with mosquitoes because both the organism and the mosquito are prevalent in wet, tropical environments.
Zoospores infect the host skin by swimming to it and encysting on the surface of [damaged] tissue [6]. They adhere to the surface and are stimulated by the host's warm body temperature to produce a germ tube (hypha) that extends into the tissue and eventually into local blood vessels, allowing for infection of additional tissues around the body [6]. The cells quickly mature and expand hyphae into surrounding vessels and tissues for increased nutrient uptake and rapid tissue colonization; it is this rapid spread throughout the host's body that makes this organism such a significant public health concern. Invasion of the vascular system leads to thrombosis and invasion of the large arteries [16]. Its virulence is increased by the secretion of proteases and the mechanical force that the hyphae place on the host's body tissues [16]. Studies show that the proteases released act on the tissue to create a dramatic decrease in tissue strength, allowing for hyphae to easily expand into host body tissues [16]. This damages the host's tissues and allows the organism to colonize larger areas in the body, depleting structure and function of tissues and killing them. Ultimately, cells continue to release zoospores which form more cells, and cells continue to grow and multiply. This leads to local inflammation in response to the invading cells and a cancer-like mass develops (leading to this disease's more common name, "swamp cancer") [16]. The mass continues to grow and spread to surrounding tissues, killing them and killing the host when vital tissues (such as heart, brain, and others) are killed [16]. Inside the host, the three P. insidiosum serine proteases differ in molecular weight and specificity [17]. This allows for the proteases to attack different parts of the host's body as well as different types of tissue at the same time [18]. Thus, infection by P. insidiosum and the development of Pythiosis is very rapid, making early detection very important [18]. Without early detection, the risk of death is very high with Pythiosis. Progression of the infection and its severity occurs very quickly, so detecting the organism as close to the time of onset of infection as possible is crucial [6].
Issues with Current Treatment
Current treatment for Pythiosis includes amputation of the infected limb, excision of infected tissue or the lesion, prescription of antifungal medications, immunotherapy, or a combination of these [6]. Excision temporarily relieves the host of the condition, yet P. insidiosum often returns some time later, showing that it is difficult to free the body of P. insidiosum after infection has occurred. Anti-fungal medications only slow infection without eliminating the organism [10]. Immunotherapy has shown to cause inflammation without destroying the organism because it is able to create antigens and other toxins that lead to immune responses but eventually compromise the immune system, which can lead to other diseases [10]. It is not a true fungus so anti-fungal medications are not a very effective, permanent treatment. The ineffectiveness of treatment is a result of the rapid progression of the disease.
Current Research for Diagnosis and Treatment
Much of today's research on this organism is focused on early detection and identification of P. insidiosum within the host so that the condition can be treated before it gets to a stage of infection where remedies and therapies are no longer useful. Identification of the organism in the host can be difficult and time consuming, so research is focusing on faster detective methods.
Some research is focused on the development of primers for a PCR assay that can be used to amplify the organism's DNA and RNA and sequence them for fast identification [4]. Issues with this development are that the assay can sometimes give false positive results, so research is continuing to make the assay more specific for identification via a two-step process, the first to identify fungal DNA and the second to specifically identify the DNA and presence of P. insidiosum [4]. Other research is dedicated to detecting a specific antigen of P. insidiosum in the host's body using Western blotting and electrophoresis [5]. Scientists have already recognized a 74-kilodalton antigen that is present in all P. insidiosum isolates, so more research is being developed to use this antigen for detection [5]. Other research is dedicated to developing specific staining for this microorganism and improvement on morphological identification by comparing P. insidiosum isolate morphology and staining in tissues across different mammalian and plant hosts so that a simple and fast detection method can be developed with staining and observation [3]. Lastly, further research is being conducted to quickly identify P. insidiosum isolates with 18S RNA sequencing and other Western blotting techniques to isolate P. insidiosum, its antigens, and genetic components [2].

Founder Jiaming "Annie" Li's vision is on display in 700 sf at 222 Clarendon St. where she offers a line of apparel featuring a Chinese theme. As for the old-school approach to pitching her wares, Li maintains "our store has many advantages" over an online platform.
"Here, I can interact with the customers and be sure to help them find what they need for any occasion," she explains. "They can touch and feel the silkiness in products and pair them in person with accessories. We are known for having ultra-soft and cozy materials which our customers adore and items that are not mass-produced."
Whitea Annie's is inspired by Chinese style Li describes as "classical, fresh and el¬egant," yet she stresses the store has offer¬ings which "cater to all women who want to stand out from the crowd in high-end, cozy apparel." Articles include blouses, coats, hats, pants, skirts, sweaters and myriad other accessories. Items are accented with neutral colors like tan and blush, but there are overt shades as well. Li maintains there is "an untapped need in Boston" for "gen¬uine and fashionable" yet modern Chinese clothing, adding that, "I hope to bring great style to the city with my unique designs."
Linear Retail Vice President of Leas¬ing Evan Eisenhardt calls Whitea Annie "a perfect pairing to Linear's business model of having a portfolio in which 50 percent (of inventory) is occupied by independent retailers" across the Burlington firm's vast portfolio of 85 "convenience-oriented" re¬tail assets.
"We like taking chances on new and fresh ideas and people who are passionate about what they do and inspire others," Eisenhardt says in citing the Whitea Annie visionary shop as exemplary of the mis-sion. "Annie has completely transformed the space into a beautiful boutique with high-end but affordable product," he elab¬orates. Linear Asset Manager Ken Nolan also assisted in facilitating the launch in a space that previously was the longtime home of Sordillo's Tailoring.
Linear has owned the condominium occupied by Whitea Annie since paying $3.95 million in September 2008 for Units 1, 2, 3 and 5 of the 220-224 Clarendon St. condominium.

I understand the reviews for the infectious disease doctor. He is very quiet, very serious, and very thoughtful. Not like, oh I remember your birthday but he is a thinker. We had a good talk and he understands my perspective, I understand his as well, I just do not like it. He just does not have enough information to treat me yet. Got the unofficial word yesterday that he did consult with the lab and my culture is still growing, – just slowly…very slowly. I just need to wait. Hopefully it will soon get big enough to identify.
Having him tell me that he suspects my lungs are permanently damaged by scar tissue was like someone punching me. I was devastated. But that was then and this is now. Lungs are alive and there are people who have 3/4's of their lung removed and go on to be marathoners. I can certainly train my lungs to function enough for me to run a mile, or do an hours worth of circuit training without seeing black dots! Just need to clear up the infection first and be patient.
Over the last ten years or so once or twice a year I develop terrible stomach and intestinal problems. My stomach feels like someone is punching from the inside out. Usually lasts about five days. I suspect gallbladder or pancreatitis. This is that week. And then I had chemo. And they also gave me a shot that effects a hormone that works on your digestive system. I do not even know what I am sick with today. 🙁 Hopefully it will be gone by tomorrow.
I also noticed that today the bursitus in my hips is really really bad. I wonder if it is the chemo or the shot?
My daughter was kind enough to brandish a pair of pliers and remove my earrings that were put in a couple of months ago so I can finally start wearing other earrings in new holes. My daughter is very cool.
Beautiful sunny day and since I am forced to take it slow I can just enjoy it.

User talk:MattisManzel
From BluWiki
MattisManzel 10:38, 21 August 2006 (EDT): Hi. Thanks for bluewiki! Well done!
Entire wikis vs. wiki pages
- Mattis, we are planning on developing a script that allows for separate wikis, although I personally prefer one big wiki myself (more of a community, I think). More on BluWiki:Automated_MediaWiki_Installations. I'm also going to respond to your comments on BluWiki:Blu_Plate_Diner. --Sam Odio 22:25, 7 October 2006 (EDT)
For stanardization, what about using BluWiki:Community Portal as the wiki-center, and Category:BluWiki categorization as the BluWiki directory? It seems BluWiki:Community Portal and Center are designed to server the same purpose.
- I would love to redirect Center to BluWiki:Community Portal, and put you in charge of fostering the BluWiki community on that page. --Sam Odio 17:53, 7 October 2006 (EDT)

Olympic Champion Chang Hye Jin to shoot for world title
Coming from behind, Olympic Champion Chang Hye Jin beat Chinese Taipei's Tan Ya-Ting in five sets, 6-4, to book a place in the 2017 World Archery Championships recurve women's gold medal match – and a shot at her first individual world title.
"After starting to lose 4-0, honestly, I could have just given up but I didn't give up right until the end," said Chang. "I'm just grateful right now."
Chang shot 683 out of a possible 720 points to seed second over the recurve women's ranking round. She beat Taru Kuoppa, 6-0, Promila Dimary, 6-4, and Chinese Taipei's Lin Yu-Hsuan, 7-1, before meeting Tan in the semis.
After losing the first two sets, Chang tied the match at 4 points each and then finished with 29, to Tan's 24, to take the match, 6-4.
"If I could say something to 20-year-old Chang it would be: 'Hyejin, you've really come a long way'," the Rio 2016 winner added.
In the gold final, Chang will meet world number three Ksenia Perova who, after seeding 52nd in qualification, upset Deepika Kumari in the second round and beat Anastasia Pavlova, Choi Misun and Dan Zhang to make the semis against USA woman Mackenzie Brown.
"After this semifinal match, I'm happy. I now need to keep the strength for the finals and shoot the same as I did today," said Perova.
Mackenzie Brown and Tan Ya-Ting will contest the bronze medal.
Mackenzie who shot two personal bests in Mexico, for both 36 and 72 arrows, during the qualification round, said: "I feel really good, it was a really close match for the semifinal but I've got some things to work on to make the bronze final what I want."
"This has been a fantastic closing of the season, so I'm really happy with how everything is going so far," added Brown, who had new coach Songi Woo – previously in Mexico and Great Britain – behind her.
Wei Chun-Heng and Im Dong Hyun will shoot for the recurve men's gold medal at the 2017 Hyundai World Archery Championships, after Steve Wijler and Arsalan Baldanov contest bronze.
It will be Wei, Steve and Arsalan's first senior world championships finals.
"I'm really happy to be here. I didn't expect to come so far in this competition. I didn't qualify at my best so I'm really happy. I just want to win bronze but if it doesn't happen, I will still have a good world champs," said Wijler.
The 2017 World Archery Championships run 15-22 October in Mexico City, Mexico.

Did you know?
Foil Emrakul, the Aeons Torn is $250! Earlier this year he was $100. What about the other Eldrazi? A foil Ulamog is $100, and a foil Kozilek runs for $120. So Emrakul's foil multiplier is much higher. His nonfoil version is $60, while Ulamog's nonfoil is $50 and Kozilek's nonfoil is $55. Does this mean that being a staple in Legacy is more valuable than being a staple in commander decks? I think that has something to do with it, but there could be another factor involved: being iconic to the game.
Jace, the Mindsculptor, Liliana of the Veil, Black Lotus; these cards are some of the most powerful and iconic cards in the game. There are collectors out there that own these cards with no intention of ever playing them or selling them. It's hard to tell how much of an effect that has no the value of the cards, but if there is a foil version of the card these collectors will want it. The multiplier for a foil Jace, Liliana, or Emrakul appears to be about 5, which is pretty impressive, but there are other cards with an even higher multiplier. Foil Abrupt Decay is sold out at $70 on SCG, and on TCG the cheapest NM copy is $86, yet regular copies are only $12. Could this be an overreaction in the legacy and speculator community? Or is there a pattern than we can find and use to target other cards?
Griselbrand may be the next iconic creature to join the ranks or Emrakul and other iconic cards. He fills the same role as Emrakul and sees play in the same formats and type of decks. There are sure to be more copies out there due to being in a more recent set, but I expect Griselbrand's trajectory to continue heading up in the years ahead.
As far as other cards that can break the 5x multiplier barrier like Abrupt Decay that haven't already? Look for cards that don't already have a high base price but have high appeal in legacy and maybe commander. Modern is a bonus. Rest in Peace was my target last year, but it's already paid off. Foils were $5 while regular copies were $1.50, and now foils are $20 and they haven't even rotated yet. By the way, did you know? Yeah, foil Rest in Peace is 20 bucks now and they were only $5 not long ago. Here's another one: Did you know that foil Stony Silence is $12? Those were super cheap while they were standard legal.
If you've been following this series since last week, you may have noticed that many of the cards stayed low for a very long time before reaching mind boggling heights. There is plenty of time to recognize the patterns, and doing so can be very beneficial. Find the cards in standard that see eternal play and fill a role that is needed, and you can find the next foil to hit it big. There is plenty of time to find them. One target on my radar is Faithless Looting. It doesn't see as much play as some of the other commons that have hit it big, but when it comes to graveyard play this is one of the first enablers that comes to mind for both Modern and Legacy. $6 seems pretty conservative, and it's only got one foil printing. If you can think of some other targets, please share them in the comments!
