About That Macron Rally
But what about substance? Macron gave a speech of Castro-like proportions: 1 3/4 hours of nonstop talk by the candidate. I have yet to see a full accounting of the details and am not about to listen to the entire speech, but what I have seen is vintage Macron: a clarion call to transform attitudes toward, for example, risk-taking, coupled with a laundry list of mini-measures intended to effect the desired transformation: convert unemployment insurance, say, into "solidarity wages" that would be paid to failed entrepreneurs as well as unemployed workers. Will this produce a French Facebook or a host of corner grocers hoping to compete with Félix Potin? And would a French Facebook, if it arose, resolve the deep problems of the French economy?
These are no doubt the wrong questions to ask. The right question, at least for the short term, is whether the patented Macron formula of lofty goals coupled with long litanies of wonkery will mobilize the masses in sufficient number to drive Mélenchon and the eventual Socialist candidate from the field, catapulting Macron into a position where he might edge out Fillon for the number 2 spot. Or, failing that, will he make a strong enough showing to start in pole position for the left's 2022 nomination?
I think it's a long shot for both, frankly, but I have to concede that Macron does seem to have galvanized a segment of the population to embrace him as the candidate of "change"--always a desirable position in an era when publics everywhere seem convinced that the status quo has run its course and something new is required. I just can't read how large a segment of the population that is. On my Facebook feed this morning I read a post by a young entrepreneur who attended yesterday's rally and was convinced. For him, the long speech was a Saul on the road to Damascus experience. But commenters immediately retorted that Macron was a "bobo populist," whose appeal would soon find its limits. On the other hand, I've heard from two older friends, one a French diplomat, another an academic, that Macron represents precisely the mix of youthful energy, decent values, and deep familiarity with the workings of the economy that for them represents a revival of hope in an otherwise dismal field of candidates.
Macron took pains to differentiate himself from Fillon by insisting that he would leave the legal work week at 35 hours, for example (although he then called for firm-level negotiated modifications), and promised to increase the number of civil servants rather than eliminating 500,000 of them, as Fillon as said he would do (but Macron did not say how he would pay for them).
We shall see. I myself have yet to succumb to the Macron magic. His economic nostrums do not strike me as particularly insightful or likely to succeed. His energy and intelligence are not in doubt, but the breadth of his base remains to be seen. Thus far, his most obvious qualities are his ambition and his chutzpah. Neither is particularly endearing. But perhaps I expect too much from politics in an era that seems determined to yield too little.

Poor Howard Dean's problem, if I remember right, was that the microphones didn't pick up the noise of the crowd, so that in the room he sounded excited but on TV he sounded insane.
Macron's problem, if there is one, is the Christ-like pose and the look upward after he yells "Vive la France": at that moment, it's all about him. But that's a subjective take, not an obvious talking point.
On substance I see a willingness to take up labour regulation as an issue, while attacking Fillon on the question of overall public sector headcount. But it's still very unclear, a collection of generalities. As with some US liberals, he's alighted on the term "progressive" as a currently uncompromised vessel, into which some appealing content can be packaged. The content though is either TBD or (to be a bit more charitable) TBA.
Perhaps the fairy will make him a real boy. I don't rule it out, but I don't see it yet.

I'm not taken with Macron either. Bert was right to state the simple fact there is little to no programmatic substance yet to his candidacy. This said, I wouldn't mind seeing him eliminate Valls from the race, simply because of the former' P.M.'s attacks on France's anti-racist movements and de facto alliance with conservative forces on this issue. Such positions from a self-identifying "leftist" are more harmful, I think, than those from the far-right and its fellow travelers.

Macron has a 6-week window to make enormous gains in the polls: already people aren't talking about the right as much, the left is picking up some media time but won't choose a candidate till the end of January: if he can solidify a large lead ( at least 10 points) over whoever's running for the left. If he CANNOT use that "downtime" to his profit, he's cooked - and an advantage within the margin of error, or even close to it (+7 for instance) is too little for him to hope to solidify support later on.
What about Mélanchon? I'm pretty sure he can't stay that high, simply because his fiery rhetorics appeal to a specific segment of the population (50+ in particular, fonctionnaires) and because he can't stop himself from stupid stuff like attacking Cohn Bendit when he's given a national platform to present his ideas. Why do you think he's so high right now?

I agree with all the post — and have to admit I share the author's ignorance, also " I just can't read how large a segment of the population that is. "

Dhafer L'Abidine Stars in a New Film Based on the TV Series Caramel
After the Success the Series Achieved in the Arab World
Dhafer L'Abidine Stars in a New Film Based on the TV Series Caramel
Tunisian star Dhafer L'Abidine has revealed that he will be shooting a new film based on the successful Lebanese TV series Caramel that he starred in last Ramadan. While filming his scenes in the TV series, L'Abidine stated that Caramel is one of the most enjoyable series he has worked on.
Together with L'Abidine, the filmfeatures a number of stars from the TV series such as Maguy Bou Ghosn, Talal El Jordi and Jessy Abdo. Caramel is directed by Elie F. Habib, written by Mazen Taha and produced by Eagle Films. The film tells a number of love stories with strange and interesting events.
Tunisian star Dhafer L'Abidine started shooting his scenes for the American TV series North 40. The series is based on the book The Looming Tower written by Lawrence Wright. The book, that received 15 awards and honorable mentions including the Pulitzer Prize, offers a historical look at the way through which Al-Qaeda came into being and the events that led to the September 11 attacks.
The shooting will take place between the USA and South Africa. North 40 features Alec Baldwin, Jeff Daniels and Tahar Rahim, and is produced by Hulu.
Last Ramadan, L'Abidine alsostarred in Halawat Al Dounia by Hussein El-Minabbawi, and
Caramel by Elie F. Habib, which were among the most-watched series and received wide media attention. Halawat Al Dounia stars Hend Sabry, Hanan Motawie, Anoushka and Ragaa Al-Giddawy. The TV series is directed by Hussein El-Minabbawi, written by Sama Ahmed and Engy Kassem, under the supervision of screenwriter Tamer Habib, and produced by Beelink Productions and Eagle Films.

R&B star John Legend and his wife Chrissy Teigen have turned to fertility experts to help them start a family after the model confessed they are "having trouble" conceiving naturally.
The couple, who celebrated their second wedding anniversary on Monday, have been open about their dreams of having a big family in recent years.
Teigen previously said, "We want a lot of kids. I would love to have three or four of my own, and then adopt a few. So basically I'll be pregnant the rest of my life."
However, the Sports Illustrated beauty admits she has since tired of answering intrusive questions about when the stars will have their first child, because she has been secretly struggling to get pregnant for quite some time.
Opening up about her fertility fight during a taping of her new talk show "FABLife" on Wednesday, the 29 year old said, "I will say, honestly, John and I are having trouble. We would have kids five, six years ago if it'd happened. But my gosh, it's been a process!"
She added, "So, anytime somebody asks me if I'm going to have kids, I'm like, 'One day, you're going to ask that to the wrong girl who's really struggling, and it's going to be really hurtful to them. And I hate that. So, I hate it. Stop asking me!'"
Teigen's confession was made on the same day her co-host Tyra Banks revealed she, too, had been trying desperately to have a child, revealing to People magazine that she has started in vitro fertilization treatment with her boyfriend of two years, photographer Erik Asla.
The retired supermodel, 41, also vented about her frustrations at motherhood questions during the "FABLife" episode, stating, "I am so tired of seeing on my social media, 'Why don't you have kids? Why don't you have kids?' You don't know. You don't know what I'm going through."
Growing emotional, Banks continued, "When I was 23 years old, I used to tell myself, 'In three years I'm gonna have kids.' Then I turned 24. 'In three years I'm gonna have kids.' And then just every single year I kept saying that. And then, after a while it's like, OK, now I want to – and it's not so easy."
The full discussion will air on Monday.

Sending light
As people in the land now known as Canada celebrate the summer solstice and the most hours of daylight in the year, I am moved to 'fan' the candle-light energy that is lifting lanterns into the night sky near and above Gaza. Yesterday, the Israeli government began a new practice of reducing the amount of electricity entering Gaza, an act that contravenes international humanitarian law.
By learning more about this issue, we can add metaphorical oxygen to the candles that must stay lit in solidarity with Palestinians, amid the darkness of the Israeli government's occupation of Palestine. Read the letter (click here) sent last week by Gisha, a coalition of 16 civil society organizations, to the Israeli attorney general. Read more (here) about the actual lanterns that were lit and sent up, into the night sky by Israeli activists, yesterday.
Liberal Minister's letter implies continuation of Harper policy on denying funding for Palestinian refugees
With thanks to Peter Larson for this posting. Echoing his invitation, please write to Mme. Bibeau "(email@example.com) and to your own MP to tell them if you think this is one Harper decision that the Trudeau government should reverse."
Among the millions of new refugees displaced by the war in Syria are hundreds of thousands of existing refugees – Palestinians who have been stuck in camps in Syria and Lebanon since 1948. They depend on UNRWA, a UN organization, for the basics of survival. But in a recent letter, Liberal minister Marie Claude Bibeau seems to say that the Liberals are not in any hurry to reverse the Harper government's decision to cut off UNRWA funding. Read more.

At the end of every year Andrew and I ask each other the same questions.
What did we achieve this year and what do we want to achieve in the new year?
What a massive year it has been! My daughter turned 3 and my son turned one. In July I had to take over the full time management of our restaurant Beluga which unbeknown to me incorporated at least 50 hours per week of my time.
I emotionally and physically nursed my husband through two shoulder dislocations and a subsequent second shoulder reconstruction. All of this at the beginning of his football season which at the end of the season would see him out of contract with the West Coast Eagles.
We decided to sell our house. Booked and then cancelled a 10 day raucous holiday in the US and the biggest surprise of all, I fell pregnant with our third baby.
As you might have picked up by now, the year of 2012, although a year full of achievements, has been a year where I totally felt out of control. It was like the universe had this ultimate plan for me and I had to 'just go with it'.
I am a massive believer in goal setting. I believe what you set out to achieve you will achieve. I believe that what ever is going on in your mind you will attract.
I think I lost sight of these things this past year so my 2013 focus is going back to gaining control, accepting reality, living in the moment and being calm enough to notice the universes subtle nudges and hints along the way.
With this in mind I have put together my top 5 achievable new years resolutions. They aren't big winning lotto goals but more of a guidance to help us quiet the mind, stay in tune with ourselves and get the best out of the opportunities that come our way.
1: Meditate daily. As Dr Oz stated, one of the leading causes of ageing and ailments is stress and one of the best stress reliefs is meditation. Do your body, mind and soul a favour. Meditation creates focus and control of the mind and it's easy to start. Find a quiet spot, sit up with your back straight, close your eyes and concentrate on your breathing. Start with about 5 minutes and increase from there.
2: Take one night per month for YOU, minimum!! This year make yourself a priority. There is no point blaming others for you not giving yourself 'you' time. Make it a priority. Your family will thank you for it. Catch a movie, have dinner with a friend, get a massage but do something outside of your daily routine. You will be a kinder person for it.
3: Exercise. 3 times per week, minimum please! We all know the many benefits of exercise. Make a commitment. I don't care if you are doing your lunges watching 60 minutes on a Sunday night just to get your 3rd session in but make it a happen. No excuses!
4: Drink a minimum of 2lts of water per day. Studies show that it helps you lose weight, it's a natural remedy for headache relief, helps in digestion and constipation, you are less likely to get sick and it relives fatigue (amongst other things). Clean your body out daily and it only makes perfect sense that your body will function more efficiently.
5: Acts of kindness. Help others. Helping others actually makes us happy! Did you know that if we volunteered as children we are more likely to volunteer as adults. People who volunteer have generally higher self-esteem, psychological wellbeing and happiness. What a fabulous gift you could give to give your children. Not only are you teaching them the values of helping others but you are improving their personal well being too.
Amen to that!

Toy News: Takara Tomy lists Monsterbot two pack on Takara Tomy Mall
The updated "Titans Return" versions of Grotusque and Repugnus were both limited items with Grotusque going for high prices on the secondary market while Repugnus has been selling out from Amazon consistently. Now fans who missed out on these figures have another chance thanks to Takara Tomy! A new listing on Takara Tomy mall features a two pack featuring Repugnus (aka Ripaggu) and Grotusque (aka Gurotesu)! The two pack appears to feature the same two figures that were released for "Generations", but there is no indication the extra Solus Prime and Scorponok Titan Master figures are included. However, for fans only interested in the Monsterbots themselves this is a great alternative to scalper prices!
The two pack is listed at a price of ¥7,560 (about $68.22 USD). It is due for release in late January 2019.

Returns Guarantee
Every outdoorsman, traveler, and worker needs at least one pair sturdy pants, and this style from EMS is up for the challenge. As double-stitched, rivet-enforced durable cotton twill holds strong from city sightseeing through nights at the campgrounds and even days on the worksite, two hook-and-loop pockets make it convenient to stash away and quickly access small but essential pieces of gear – a phone, a compass, a multitool, or even a map, depending upon where you are. As well, a straight fit with darts for articulation, a paneled design, and kick patches goes right along with you, rather than restrict your movements.

Fires raged across Southern California, burning some houses to the ground and sparing others.
SAN DIEGO, Oct. 23 — Through a dirty fog of ash and soot, a sport utility vehicle dashed up one street and then another, turning around again and again as it met police barricades, fire trucks and finally a wall of glowing billowing smoke.
Just beyond, on the other side of the hill where the smoke boiled up, sat the home of Ben and Marla Martin, who finally pulled over, defeated.
"Look, there's a helicopter, Ben," Ms. Martin said. "That's a good sign, right?"
Four fire trucks raced past and a police officer began closing this street off, too, in an area where the main fire had passed but a sinister arm reached out, reminding the Martins and firefighters that, three days in, the work of one of the biggest wildfires in state history was not quite done.
Off West Bernardo Drive, the capriciousness of the wind-driven blaze left some houses untouched in their glorious peach stucco amid green grass and well-tended flower beds. Next door, twisted, blackened heaps of that same dream lay smoldering, a garden sprinkler still clack, clack, clacking in vain.
Dr. Joe Fiore of Aguamiel Drive saw it all, this fickle, fiery tornado of smoke and tennis-ball-sized embers blasting through as the main fire passed. Propane tanks and dried palm fronds exploded, as one house went up in minutes while another escaped damage.
Dr. Fiore refused to leave the neighborhood off Interstate 15 that he and others never figured would be in danger. He stood on his roof for hours, hosing it down, nearly falling. His wife caught an ember in her eye and rushed to the hospital, while Dr. Fiore, an emergency room physician, battled on, unwilling to abandon the house he has lived in since 1986.
"It was very chaotic," Dr. Fiore said. "That fire came over the mountain in minutes, like nothing I could ever imagine. It was the wind, the wind was like a funnel blowing it right through here and the embers were everywhere. I had like 20 campfires going all around my house I had to put out."
Hundreds of thousands of people did heed orders to leave, many packing a football stadium near downtown and the Del Mar Fairgrounds on the coast. Normally busy Lake Arrowhead, a town where more than a 100 homes burned northeast of Los Angeles, was virtually abandoned to firefighters and emergency workers.
Evacuees grasped for any shred of news, any word on whether they had won the wildfire lottery or lost.
Among them were Kiat Tohsakul and John Becker, who live less than a quarter-mile apart in the hard-hit Rancho Bernardo section of northern San Diego.
Mr. Tohsakul, a television news program manager, rested assured on Monday that the fire was miles from his house after viewing scenes of the area shot by one of the station's cameramen. But on Tuesday afternoon, he sat in his driveway taking deep breaths at the sight of the roof caved in and his possessions charred.
"What did I do to deserve this?" he said, looking at several unscathed homes next to his. "It's just unbelievable."
Mr. Becker returned from out of town and talked his way past police barricades to arrive at his house, with only a touch of damage to a fence. "I have no idea why we got saved and others didn't," he said.
Local television overnight had fixed on the image of a large house, a 10,000-square-foot Mediterranean-style hilltop jewel, burning to the ground in Rancho Santa Fe, a wealthy area. It belonged to Bob Jaffe, a venture capitalist, who visited the wreck on Tuesday. His Porsche somehow survived.
"Yes, they managed to save my Porsche," Mr. Jaffe said. "But I'd much rather they had saved my daughter's stuffed animals."
The police in the afternoon escorted some residents in northern San Diego to retrieve medicine and urgent belongings. Of course, that definition was flexible.
"Bongos? Why the heck are you bringing bongos! We don't need bongos!" Gerald DaSilva shouted to his daughter as they raced in and out of their relatively undamaged house and loaded their pickup. "Look at all this stuff — CDs, magazines, come on, what is all this stuff? Get your phone chargers."
Some residents fumed at what they considered a slow response by firefighters, who have struggled to rush from fire to fire across Southern California.
"Just now they are getting aircraft up there? Unbelievable," said Rex Houser, who packed his disabled father and four Jack Russell terriers into his old Camaro and watched the fire march on a hillside nearby.
In the burn areas, and even places far from them, a visitor might at first assume the heavy air was the shroud of mist common along the coast. But the acrid smell detectable miles away would quickly disabuse the notion, if not the singed hillsides, closed roads and occasional odd scenes wrought by desperation.
In the otherwise deserted parking lot of North County Fair, an Escondido shopping mall, several horses stood about, hitched to trailers, eating feed and leaving their mark on the pavement. Their owners, who had fled the nearby canyons as the fire approached on Monday, said they had no other place to take them and were not sure the authorities or mall owner would let them stay.
A woman who gave only her first name, Jackie, out of concern over the propriety of this very emergency shelter, walked J. P., a 14-year-old quarter horse, in front of the Macy's store.
"We have enough food for them for a couple of days, but after that I don't know," she said. "Hopefully we can get back by then."
Any second thoughts about living in a fire zone?
"Not a one," she replied. "There is no place like it."
A friend, Richard Sanders, explained, saying, "You are there, in rural hills, and in a few minutes in urban over here, if you want it." But with the charm of the rural hideaways or the subdivisions with names like Whispering Woods come frayed nerves when the seasonal Santa Ana winds blow.
Mr. Sanders and his wife, Jean, have lived near the Rancho Bernardo neighborhood for 19 years, relishing the smell of eucalyptus and pine and tending their dogs and horses. Then, they evacuated, and Mrs. Sanders stared open-mouthed at the fury of the fire as it descended on their neighborhood, sparing their house but devouring others.
"The fire just flew over the hills at what must have been at least 30 miles per hour," she said. "It just hopped the freeway with no problem, caught the grass over there and went straight up the hill and started catching houses on fire randomly."
She shook her head.
"Part of me says get out of town," she said. "And the other part says I could not stand to leave."

Bandit and I stayed up a little bit later then our usual bedtime last night.
"I think he hears something."
"Look at that, our "Crabby Cabbie" has arrived home before we were sound asleep in our beds. This was a most unusual occurrence."
"Really now, do you think someone was head over tongue to see him???"
This morning our day began just before 6 am. First off Buddy was taken out for his walk, with the now very "yakky" "Spectacular Six" being second in line for my attention and their needs.
"Once they lay eyes on me, there is much noise that goes on .... ear plugs would be in order at this time of the morning, especially when one hasn't yet had a coffee."
"The sky held promises of a beautiful day ahead."
"Lexus was enjoying her nosing around first thing with the heavy dew still evidenced in the grasses. Isn't she lovely looking? as I had given her a wonderful brushing out again last night."
"You could not imagine my surprise to see this sight so early in the morning ... lol. What the heck, this was a most unusual hour for my Rob to even think about being awake."
Once I did get back in the house, I finally managed to have a cup of coffee, or maybe it was two, before I carried on with the rest of the day at hand.
"Apparently while I was making our bed, Rob was trying out the new camera on his fleet of "Crabby Cabbie" vehicles, with one "thrown" in there for me, as I am just so lucky ... "
I managed to get a couple of things organized before my Niece arrived with ...
"....her 125 lb companion, Missy Pixaroo."
"Please rub my belly before you go, will you???"
Jo-Anne and I had some running around and personal business to attend to this morning, before we came home to get lunch together. I had "scored" some awesome broccoli and cauliflower at the local Foodland store for 49 cents each a bunch/head, along with 2 packages of mushroom also marked down to 49 each.
Lunch today was Broccoli Salad, Steamed Cauliflower and grilled Chicken Breasts on the barbecue. It was all very very good, needless to say, as Rob does barbecue moist and tender food just "perfectly".
Once lunch was cleared away with, all the pack attended to, we were "off" down country to Port Elgin where ....
"...we had to attend to some "Crabby Cabbie" business at the Saugeen Township Municipal Offices."
Jo-Anne and I also took the time to check out the local "Thrift Store" in Port Elgin, where she scored a really nice pair of jeans, and three novels, with me scoring a pair of dock jean pants and a Capri. Jo-Anne's total bill was $7.00, and mine was $8.00; who could not pass up deals such as these?
Before we had left on our little excursion this afternoon, we had had a little incident ... apparently since I am not used to having anyone visiting too often, or anyone parked in my driveway, when I slowly backed out ....
"...looking in my driver's side mirror and not the passenger's rear mirror, we heard a little "crunch", realizing Jo-Anne's vehicle was parked directly behind mine ... hence a wee little bit of a "red" ouch on my fender. As you can see, nothing a bandaid couldn't remedy?"
"Without a mark to be found from my vehicle on Jo-Anne's vehicle. Go figure. Needless to say, we have all had this happen to us. "Us" being Rob, Jo-Anne and myself, so we had a couple of laughs, some reminiscing and carried on with our day."
Once Jo-Anne & I returned back home, we looked after 5 adult doggies and 6 little (or not so little) puppies, before we had ourselves a supper of salad.
I had also received a phone call from Bell Canada, saying our Phone/Internet bill had not been paid since March. I was "shocked", as never before have I left a bill unattended for so long, not intentionally anyway. On doing further investigation, the Bell representative found out the billing had been changed to "Email Billing", thinking it had been generated in-house. They didn't even have my correct email address, so mystery solved, but to the tune of a $255.00 two month unpaid bill .... as the old saying goes, "out of sight, out of mind", so I hadn't even thought about not receiving my bill the past 2 months, as there were most certainly other bills coming in with "Bell" on them ! There was no "late charge" fee applied, and the Customer Service guy was so polite and helpful. As I said, problem solved to the tune of $255.00 !
Then before we knew it, it was time ...
"... for Jo-Anne and Pixiroo to pack up from their day with us, to head back to her father's place, where they are staying until their house is ready to move in to."
"Okay, Pixi, heel."
"Okay, Pixi, let's run to the car then ... and get the "heck out of Dodge"!"
Poor Pixi girl, doesn't know if she is coming or going, more then likely thinking they are on an extended visit at her Grandpa Al's, not realized she has gone from being a "City Gal" to fast becoming a "Country Gal" .... lol. I am sure once they get into their new home, she will settle in, in no time at all.
It has been a very all around busy day here. I am tired, with big Aussies, medium Aussies and little wee Aussies still be looked after before I call it a night, "Just North of Wiarton & South of the Checkerboard".

A few months ago Penny, the creator of Zularis Natural products sent me an awesome kit for DIY manicures and pedicures. I've been making time every few weeks to use the products and I am very impressed with them. Penny's signature scent is so soothing and pleasant. On her website is says it is a mix of "essential oil blend that includes lemon, bergamot, lavandin, frankincense and myrrh; fragrance." Although it smells nice it does not linger. This is important to me because I usually use hand and foot products before bed and I hate having a smell lingering around on my finger tips. My kit came with : Intensive Repair Cuticle Oil, Soothing Milk Soak, Hand and Foot Scrub, Hand and Body Rub and bottle of Pumpkin Spice (I believe that was the name) Lotion. A callous reducer/foot file, and emery boards as well as instructions.
The Soothing Milk Soak is wonderful on sore, swollen feet. I am 6 months pregnant now and I never thought sticking my feet into a tub of warm water and this soak would feel like heaven. I like to soak for about 10 to 15 minutes, or really as long as my 3 year old allows before needing something. It softens my feet too which is always a plus. I have not used this on my hands yet but it can be used either way. It comes with a conveient scoop too.
The Hand and Foot Scrub does wonders on dry skin, especially dry heels. I will admit that I have not been taking the best care of my feet and have only done a few real pedicures since flip flop season has began. This scrub improved my heels 100% with just one use. It contains a couple of different oils which left my feet not only feeling soft but refreshed as well. I believe I have the Passionfruit Paypa scent, again it's a nice light scent, not over powering, and it does not linger for too long. Penny has 3 different seasonal scents up on her website right now, Passionfruit Paypa is the only one I've tried in addition to her signature scent.
At first I was a little confused about how to use the Hand and Body Rub. It comes in a jar but it is solid, it's not like regular lotion where you can stick your hand in a pull some out. It takes a bit to soften it up and get it on to your skin. I like to use it on my heels, elbows, knees and cuticles. I have a small tub of the Passionfruit Papya and I like to use it on my cuticles. It absorbs quickly and doesn't leave a greasy residue.
The Aloe and Shea Butter lotion is really great however I was not a fan of the Pumpkin Spice scent that came in my kit. I'm not too sure what it was about the scent that I did not like, it was spicy but sweet at the same time. Maybe it was just my hormones doing the complaining. Putting the scent aside the lotion was very moisturizing but not greasy. This is really important to me because I hate having to wait forever for a lotion to soak in. That really puts me off from a moisturizer.
I love the Intensive Repair Cuticle Oil, even though I haven't been taking the best care of my nails this oil makes them look almost decent after a couple of uses. My finger tips are always really dry, no matter how often I lotion but this oil helps keep them smooth. You only need one drop for each finger and you're good to go. It's also supposed to be beneficial for nails that peel and/or break easily.
These products have made my pedicure routine much more enjoyable. My favorite part about the line is that it's made from all natural ingredients. This has become very important to me as pregnancy has decided to make my skin sensitive to almost every product out there. I've had to change not only manicure products but hair and skin products as well. It's probably worth it in the long run though. The instructions that came with the kit were very informative, especially if you are just starting out. I will admit though that I have not used the foot file, I'm intimidated by it.

Table 19 – Film Review
One of the most important details of a wedding is the seating chart. The closer the bride and groom are to the guest, the closer their table is to the action. Now, what happens with guests who sort of know the bride or groom? Those folks get relegated to the back of the room, where no one would notice if they went missing, let alone know if they were having a good time. The film Table 19, is about the 'forgotten guests' experiences at a wedding.

Democrat Mark Udall was among 13 senators who voted against extending tax breaks Monday, comparing the deal to the U.S. Senate wanting to "eat dessert . . . and let the party continue," particularly with tax cuts to the wealthy.
Udall, of Eldorado Springs, said he would have supported a compromise if the Bush tax breaks had been eliminated for those making more than $1 million a year. Originally, Democrats favored tax breaks only for people making less than $250,000 a year.
"For me, it's front and center about the deficit," Udall said Monday, noting that the tax cuts are projected to cost $900 billion over two years. "It's easy to extend these tax cuts and provide breaks on special interests of all kinds and not focus on the deficit. We just want to eat dessert — that's all we're eating."
The White House and Senate Democratic leadership offered Udall many reasons to support the measure, but he said it "didn't mean much to me. This is a principled stand for me."
Sen. Michael Bennet, a Denver Democrat, voted in favor of the bill because "if we don't pass this deal, the cruel reality is that 2 million Coloradans would see their taxes go up at the beginning of the year, and there were a lot of people on unemployment insurance who would lose that," he told CBS News.
Bennet also said Coloradans were relieved the vote would give them a tax break, and "they also like the idea that, for once, people in Washington seem to be working together across partisan lines."

Even when the U.S. government feels like bragging about a military success, it takes several days for the most elementary outline to surface. Now, imagine it's a secret raid involving sensitive sources and methods that the U.S. doesn't want to divulge. Pile on top of that a senior White House official a little too eager to spin a yarn of brave U.S. troops taking on a crafty but craven enemy, and you have what we now have: a war of facts over bin Laden's death (or was it bin Laden?).
The first point is that initial reporting of military operations is always half wrong. Commanders and briefers know that A and C happened, so they deduce that B must have happened, but often it didn't. But they report B happened only to have to take it back a day later, which sows confusion into the story line. When this happens several times in a single operation, befuddlement beckons.
This ball of confusion, as the Temptations put it, is compounded when the government decides to release only slivers of information. That's why for the past several days there have been conflicting reports over what kind of helicopters were used on the mission, where they landed, how many troops were involved, and what kind of support they had circling above.
There are good reasons to keep such details secret, but it leads to Pentagon officials and others offering their best guesses as to what happened. Reporters don't like to quote guesses, so, using journalistic alchemy, they often become facts…that turn out to be wrong. The papers have been full of conflicting accounts since Operation Off Osama went down. The Associated Press had the latest version Wednesday — the SEALs shot bin Laden after it looked as if he were reaching for a weapon.
Then there's White House homeland security chief John Brennan. He briefed reporters on Monday. Across the river, Pentagon and intelligence officials also spoke to the press. Those folks spoke only on background — no names or cameras permitted — while Brennan went before the lenses and microphones at the White House podium. While the backgrounding officials filled in some blanks in the narrative, they took care to avoid saying too much.
"I'm not going to provide those operational details," one Pentagon briefer explained. When reporters persisted, Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell jumped in — on the record — to referee. "If the point of this discussion is to try to go into operational details of this mission," he said, "it's going to be a very short discussion."
Basically, the Pentagon was looking to put out a storyline that made the SEALs and intelligence forces look good. Nothing wrong with that — they deserve huzzahs. But operational details, as Morrell called them, are like facts: Ronald Reagan called them "stubborn things" because they're immutable and can't be massaged into something else. So a fact-free briefing serves the Administration — it gets to tell the part of the story it wants out. It also serves the press — it gets to tell (at least part of) the story.
Did U.S. intelligence actually ever see bin Laden in the months it was monitoring his compound? "We're not going to get into the specifics at this point about that," the intelligence briefer said.
Did the SEALs build a fake compound to prepare for their mission? "I don't want to get into the details," the Pentagon official said.
Can you confirm that SEALs were involved? "Not going to comment on units or numbers."
Did bin Laden use a woman as a human shield in his final moments? "We're not going to get into that kind of detail," the intelligence briefer said. "That would go to the operational specifics." Well, if the spooks wouldn't talk about the human shield, would the Pentagon. Nope, Morrell said. "We concur" with the intel folks, he said.
Apparently, you had to go to the White House, where Brennan was briefing reporters, for those kinds of juicy operational details. His on-the-record answers were far more detailed than those given at the Pentagon. And, a couple of key ones were also wrong.
Did bin Laden put up a fight? "He was engaged in a firefight with those that entered the area of the house he was in. And whether or not he got off any rounds, I'd — quite frankly don't know," Brennan said. "Engaged in a firefight" and "whether or not he got off any rounds" — plainly bin Laden was armed.
Did he use a woman as a shield? "Here is bin Laden…hiding behind women who were put in front of him as a shield…just speaks to, I think, the nature of the individual he was," Brennan said. He also referred to "the woman presumed to be his wife who was shielding bin Laden." It's a great detail. But why is Brennan stretching the story to try to make bin Laden look even worse? He can't be any worse. Even if the detail is accurate, it's gratuitous — the man ordered the deaths of nearly 3,000 people on 9/11. When I was a kid, this was called "piling on" and was frowned upon by grownups.
Within hours, Brennan's story line started falling apart. Amid the exaggerations and the swirl of questions they triggered, the White House had the Pentagon draft an official "narrative of events" that White House press secretary — and former Time colleague — Jay Carney read at Tuesday's briefing.
"In the room with bin Laden, a women –- bin Laden's wife –-rushed the U.S. assaulter and was shot in the leg but not killed," the narrative reads. "Bin Laden was then shot and killed. He was not armed."
Carney noted these kinds of things happen in violent, fast-moving events. "We provided a great deal of information, with great haste, in order to inform you — and through you, the American public — about the operation and how it transpired and the events that took place there in Pakistan," he said. "Obviously some of the information came in piece by piece and is being reviewed and updated and elaborated on."
Then, like a buzz saw, the questions resumed. "Resistance does not require a firearm," Carney parried in response to a question about why an unarmed bin Laden was shot. "Don't want to venture a guess," he said as reporters pressed for blueprint-like specifics on bin Laden's final moments. "I always find it better not to do that." Undeterred, reporters pelted him with questions until he surrendered. "Let me stop. Let me stop," he said. "Even I'm getting confused."

National Grid CEO Tours Campus, Reviews Workforce Initiatives
August 31, 2017
National Grid CEO John Pettigrew visited the Hudson Valley Community College campus on Wednesday, Aug. 30 to take a look at several workforce initiatives the international energy provider has created in partnership with the college.
Pettigrew joined the UK-based National Grid in 1991 and has worked in electricity and gas distribution around the world for 25 years. He became National Grid's chief executive officer in 2016.
On Wednesday morning, Pettigrew toured the campus with President Drew Matonak, Dean Phil White and several National Grid executives. He visited the overhead lineworker lab in Williams Hall as well as the solar array, which is used to train students in the Electrical Construction and Maintenance and PV Installation programs. Pettigrew also dropped in on several other technology classrooms and labs in Williams Hall.
The college's Overhead Electric Lineworker certificate was developed a decade ago in conjunction with the international energy provider when they saw a growing number of lineworkers nearing retirement. Hudson Valley now graduates more than a dozen lineworkers each year, many of whom find work at National Grid.
This summer, Hudson Valley's Workforce Development Institute launched a 90-hour Natural Gas Technician certificate program in conjunction with National Grid. The non-credit course teaches students the entry-level skills used in gas construction, maintenance and customer service. Those who successfully complete the training will be prepared for career opportunities in the growing natural gas industry. The program had more than 100 applicants for 12 spots in the training program, which is set to start this fall.

The old order is breaking up, the countryside is in upheaval. The peasantry, who only yesterday were crushed and downtrodden, are today rising to their feet and straightening their backs. The peasant movement, which only yesterday was helpless, is today sweeping like a turbulent flood against the old order: get out of the way -- or I'll sweep you away! "The peasants want the landlords' land," "The peasants want to abolish the remnants of serfdom" -- such are the voices now heard in the rebellious villages and hamlets of Russia.
Those who count on silencing the peasants by means of bullets are mistaken: life has shown us that this only serves still further to inflame and intensify the revolutionary peasant movement.

Full report: Squirrels go nuts for good news
A scheme to trap grey squirrels in Grizedale Forest is entering it's second year. The aim is to reclaim the area as a habitat for the native red species.
Sightings of red squirrels are now being reported in parts of Cumbria where they have not been seen for decades.
Ryan Dollard reports:
'Trapping grey squirrels is necessary'
Mike Thornley is a Red Squirrel Officer, he said:
"Trapping grey squirrels and taking them out of habitats is the only way to give red squirrels a future.
"The species cannot co-exist and if we don't clear habitats for them then our native squirrels will die out."
Squirrel feeding stations installed
The project is hoping to map red and grey squirrel populations over the coming years by putting up feeding stations linked to automatic cameras.
The data will help assess how effectively the conservation scheme is working.
Good news for red squirrels in Grizedale
A red squirrel conservation project has been hailed as a success- one year on.
The Westmorland Red Squirrel Society's 'Grizedale Red Squirrels' have reported that the red squirrels are boasting healthy populations in and around Grizedale Forest, and they are beginning to spread further afield.
A joint effort between the Forestry Commission, Lake District National Park, Cumbria Wildlife Trust, National Trust, Red Squirrels Northern England, Red Squirrel Survival Trust and landowners, hase ensured that the population of red squirrels is not allowed to dwindle.
A grant of almost £50,000 from the Heritage Lottery Fund has aso helped with the control of the greys to reduce their threat to the protection and growth of the red species.
- ITV Report
Final phase of Red Kites released in Cumbria
Red Kites released
A landmark Forestry Commission conservation project has entered a new chapter as 30 more red kites are released into Grizedale Forest.
Red kites were successfully reintroduced to the heart of the Lake District in the summer of 2010 and again in 2011.
Now a new wave of hatchlings from the Forestry Commission's breeding site in Rockingham Forest, Northamptonshire are ready for release into Cumbria's skies.The latest group of juvenile raptors are spending a month gaining strength in a custom made pen at a secret location in Grizedale Forest.
The Forestry Commission North West England has been granted a special licence to release 90 red kites in Grizedale Forest over a three year period. The latest arrivals mark the third and final phase of the landmark final reintroduction of the birds in England.
Red kites were almost eradicated from the UK following changes in farming practices and human persecution between the 16th and 19th centuries. Numbers then recovered slowly and the UK population is expanding and there are now thought to be over 1,000 pairs of the birds in the country.
- ITV Report
Grizedale forest leads the way
Red squirrel cash
Nearly 50 thousand pounds has been awarded to a group which helps protect Cumbria's red squirrels.
The Heritage Lottery Fund has made the award which will help conserve and strengethen squirrel numbers in the Grizedale area.
The Westmorland Red Squirrel Society says the cash will be used to fund a two year project.
Red squirrels are our only native squirrel but have been displaced from most of England by
the introduced American grey.
Cumbria is one of the last strongholds for the animal.
Jackie Foott, the Project Coordinator, said: "We are delighted to have received the support of the Heritage Lottery Fund for a project protecting our iconic red squirrel which is such an important part of Cumbrian heritage."

Who killed Police Officer Sharma?
Who killed Police Officer? When he smashed the front door of the suspected terrorists' room, immediately the terrorists shot and killed the police man! Police story is that!!
But Sharma has no wounds at front side of his body, but back side. It is clear that somebody from back side shot him and killed.
Who was behind him? Obviously there was no one but Police men. Due to some reasons (an enquiry will bring the truth) they knowingly or mistakenly killed their leading policeman.
Now they have no other choice except to charge the students who are residing in the room. If the police arrested the students, the students will expose the truth. Then the police shoot and killed the innocent students. Then they kept a AK47 and Pistols and proclaimed to media that they killed very hardcore terrorists
The story ended, but the loopholes bring the truth. A clear photo shows that the encounter specialist Sharma has no wounds on body except his backside.
Home Minister Shivraj Patil, decline to comment on police encounter, when press asked about the incident, on the same day. It means the encounter story was a fiction., created by Shivraj Patil or MK Narayanan or the police officers who accidentally killed Sharma. No one is beyond doubt.
Prime Minister should oust Shivraj Patil and MK Narayanan, security advisor, from their posts and an enquiry is needed by a sitting Supreme Court Judge.
Say the truth dear countrymen. Say the truth dear media men. Try to bring the truth out. And one day it will come out.

Jesus is the man who made the West. What kind of man was he? Is he relevant to a modern world shaken by crises of meaning? The churches have mainly projected him as Jesus the carer and comforter, Jesus meek and mild, friend of the weak. This is Jesus the Good Shepherd, who preaches on sin and forgiveness. He is Lord and Saviour.
But this church Jesus is not remotely like the existential hero portrayed in the first and most potent telling of his life-story — that of Mark. Mark's Jesus is a lonely and restless, mysterious stranger. His mission is dark and obscure. Everything he tries fails. By the end there is no God, no loyal followers — just torture by crucifixion, climaxing in a colossal deathscream. The story closes without a resurrection from the dead. There is just an empty tomb, and three women fleeing in terror.
The existential Jesus speaks today. He does not spout doctrine; he has no interest in sin; his focus is not on some after-life. He gestures enigmatically from within his own gruelling experience, inviting the reader to walk in his shoes.
He singles out everybody's central question: 'Who am I?' The truth lies within individual identity, resounding in the depths of the inner self. The existential Jesus is the West's great teacher on the nature of being.

2007 Religion Report – John Carroll in conversation with Stephen Crittenden
'The Existential Jesus broadens the debate about Jesus beyond the restrictive framework of traditional church teachings.'
MATTHEW LAMB, Weekend Australian
'[Carroll] does not bring the biases and learned habits of churchly biblical interpretation. This leaves him free to encounter freshly the power of Mark's story of Jesus … I was struck by the freshness of this encounter, the willingness to pursue what was found using the tools of textual analysis to unlock the themes, the courage to let the text speak and then, having unpacked it, to just let it be.'
GARY BOUMA, The Age
'The Existential Jesus has the merit of being a beautiful piece of writing as well as a remarkable piece of thinking. The words dance with each other as well as with the reader, resulting in an experience not unlike listening to a beautiful piece of orchestral music. The different movements are designed to enchant, challenge, shake, delight, confound, and uplift (sometimes one feels all of these things at once, such is the striking depth of language and craftsmanship in expression) until we are ultimately led into silence, which is, of course, the right response to the enigma of Being and of finding oneself before the mystery of I AM.'
DR FELICITY MCCUTCHEON, Melbourne Anglican
'This is the Gospel of Mark as you've never read it before, but Carroll's interpretation of Mark's Jesus suddenly makes sense. It's a scholarly but not forbiddingly academic study, for Carroll writes like a novelist, his passionate almost frantic style lending conviction to the story.'
ALISON COTES, Focus
' … the book is well written, and it is clear that the writer is fascinated with Mark's text.'
NAHUM AYLIFFE, The Program
'Though the word deconstruction is likely to get the police around these days, that is exactly what Carroll's account is: as exciting, difficult and contradictory as the best of Jacques Derrida.'
GUY RUNDLE, Australian
'… The Existential Jesus is remarkable for the intensity of the writer's admiration for his subject.'
JILL ROWBOTHAM, Weekend Australian
'The Existential Jesus is textual scholarship of the most objective kind … Carroll's analysis of the Gospel of Mark is compelling reading.'
ALISON COTES, Courier Mail
'Anyone with doubts about John Carroll being one of Australia's most creative and original thinkers will see them dissipate after a close reading of this book.'
PETER FAMILARI, Daily Telegraph
'The Existential Jesus testifies to the need for our culture to grapple once again with the Jesus of the New Testament. John Carroll is right. This task is inescapable if we wish to understand our history and the significance of our civilisation.'
ARCHBISHOP PETER JENSEN, The Monthly

The body of a 12-year-old Connecticut boy who went missing off Cove Island Park in Stamford Friday afternoon was recovered hours later by police divers from waters near the Long Island Sound, authorities said.
The boy, identified as Rashad Gross, was swimming with friends in the channel between Stamford and Darien when he was overcome by a strong current, police said. Several of the children had trouble getting back to the shore because of the current and then noticed Gross was missing.
Officials received the distress call at 1:56 p.m. Friday afternoon and marine police from Stamford, Darien and Norwalk searched for Gross.
Top news stories in the tri-state area, in America and around the world
Fire department dive teams pulled him from the water shortly after 5 p.m., performed CPR and rushed him to the hospital, according to officials at the scene.
The sixth-grader at River Middle School was a popular boy who loved to make people laugh, his friends said.
"It's shocking, because we go to school together and I talked to him every day," said a classmate.
He was also a good swimmer, friends said, but those who know the waters off the Sound say they can be hard to manage.
"It's an undertow, you gotta watch it," said neighbor Danny Gladstone. "Comes in fast, goes out fast."

Quick Links
Welcome from Mrs. Sherry Brevick. I've spent over 20 years with students in grades 1-8 in the Alma Area School district. (Five additional years of instruction were in Rice Lake or Eau Claire). I fulfilled my Masters Degree in Education at St. Mary's University.
I feel fortunate to call this great little river town my home and am grateful for my 20 years with the students at Alma Area School. I'm the 5 th grade homeroom instructor and the English teacher for the 4 th and 6 th graders. I'm passionate about inspiring students to interact and love literature. In addition, I continuously create curriculum so that students are excited about developing their written language skills.
I have numerous areas of interest both in and out of the classroom. Obviously, literacy development has been my focus for many years. In addition, I know that as much as students focus on content in my classroom, they are more importantly developing skills to be successful in the 21st century, so I focus on developing skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, communication and more. Technology development is also essential for the 21st century learner. Therefore, being informed about the best technology for teaching and classroom use is an ongoing interest. Developing STEM at Alma Area School is also important to me. The VEX Robotics team and the Design Lab are ways that I've recently focused on STEM development in our elementary.
Always feel welcome to connect with me about what is happening in the 5th grade!

Today's the day when either the Green Bay Packers clinch the NFC North or the Chicago Bears keep their fading playoff chances alive. Which do you think is more likely to happen? Let's look at how the game sets up.
The statistical look
The oddsmakers have the Packers listed as 2-1/2 point favorites, and the over-under at 43 as of the time of this writing. So, there's that. There's also the fact the Packers have won seven of their last eight games while Da Bearz have lost four of their last five. Head coach Mike McCarthy has Lovie Smith's number: the Pack has won the last five straight meetings between the two teams and seven of the last eight against Chicago overall. At the "Mistake by the Lake," otherwiwse referred to as Soldier Field, the Packers have won the last two straight and three of the last four. Over the course of the last five games they've played against each other, the Packers defense -- as spotty as it has been at times during that stretch -- has given up a total of only 65 points...13 points per game. Defensive coordinator Dom Capers apparently knows how to mess with Jay Cutler and the rest of Da Bearz' offense. The Packers have a 21-9 record in December and January regular-season games under McCarthy, and rank No. 4 in the league in scoring during this same two-month period, scoring an average of 26.7 points per game and allowing only an average of 18.5 points per game, good for No. 6 overall in the NFL. Chicago's Jay Cutler has a passer rating of 53.1 in his seven starts against the Packers. Packers' QB Aaron Rodgers, on the other hand, is 8-2 against Chicago, 5-0 in day games. In the last three games against Da Bearz, Rodgers has a passer rating of 117.4
Those are just some of the stats for those who geek out on that sort of thing.
Players make the difference...a-duh
Then there's the personnel issues. LB Brian Urlacher, CB Tim Jennings, K Robbie Gould and WR Earl Bennett are all out for Chicago. Defensive linemen Shea McClellin and Henry Melton are doubtful. Chicago basically had to skip a practice this week because they just had too many players hurt and apparently didn't want to risk any further injuries. They do have Jay Cutler, who is said to have a sprained ACL and sore neck from last week's game against the ViQueens. Cutler is still looking for his first good game against the Packers. Sorry, Jay. Won't happen this week. Even with WR Brandon Marshall as your go-to guy.
The Packers, while also down some players to injury, are at least starting to get some players back. Key among them is LB Clay Matthews who always seems to feast on Da Bearz. He had 3-1/2 sacks in the two teams' first meeting this season. He'll have to knock some of the rust off after sitting out for about three games. But Chicago will have to account for him and that will open up defensive opportunities for other players.
One of the glitches in this week's preparation for the Packers was a hip injury in practice sustained by starting right guard, Josh Sitton, who is doubtful for the game. T. J. Lang returned from his ankle injury and was getting time at his original left guard spot as well as at right tackle. The Packers may have found a diamond in the rough in the form of undrafted rookie offensive lineman Don Barclay. With Sitton out, the O-line might be configured with Lang at left guard, Evan Dietrich-Smith moving to right guard and Barclay staying at right tackle. While they have had to give him some help on pass plays, his run blocking has been quite good. And that comes at a time when the Packers' running-back-by-committee approach is starting to pay dividends. Expect the Packers to run often to open up the passing game for Rodgers and company.
Despite having to move players around, the Packers just have more depth at more key positions and that comes in quite handy in a game like this, which will be a tough one. There's been a lot of mouthing off, particularly from Chicago, over this past week. So expect some chippyness throughout the game. Bound to happen. Some of these guys don't seem to like one another very much.
Turnovers in the Packers' favor
Despite Da Bearz' reputation for generating turnovers -- and they do -- it is the Packers who have come out on top in this category when the two teams have played in recent years. In the last five games, including the 2010 NFC Championship game, all Packers' wins, the Packers got 13 takeaways. Nine of those turnovers were interceptions off Jay Cutler. The Packers' pass rush against a woeful Chicago offensive line, has given Cutler happy feet and when that happens he starts to make bad decisions. Yay for our side.
Let's call it...the prediction!
My friend Billy Da Bearz fan -- known for his Chicago delusions -- says he's going to be at the game. It will be a sad ride home for my good friend, especially since he says Da Bearz will win 27-21. Paraphrasing Judge Smails, "Oh, Billy, Billy, Billy...".
I think that unless the Packers go up early and quickly, the game will be tight through the first half. But the Packers' depth and weapons will just eventually wear out Chicago.
I'm calling the game 27-17 Packers. Go Pack Go!!!

Prologue part 2
Hello, I've got around to finishing the rest of the prologue. I've been ill recently so I've been sleeping for than anything else (read sleeping 12 hours a day and working/eating the other 12).
As usual the warnings about dodgy English and translation is upheld. It should help you get the gist though :)
Whilst pulling the reins to bring the horse to a stop, Alexid was grasping the current state of affairs. Already his current place was no longer the front line. The nearby imperial soldiers had died in battle, or otherwise been routed.
"Retreat. To be in this place and to go further has no benefit."
Nearby, similarly an older man was managing his horse. "As you wish," he responded. "However, the imperial army has been routed. In that case can't we pursue and annihilate them?"
"And then advance until Castlade? Absurd." At Alexid's response his companion let out something like a laugh. All along they were not being serious. No matter how much time passes Alexid's mentor attempts this kind of thing.
"Let's establish the retreat of the soldiers driven out as well"
"I'll go too."
"No, I, Samuel, alone will for about ten minutes will observe. Please return to the headquarters your highness. About this time Flad will be impatient waiting for you, so you go on."
"Why not?"
In the end, Alexid too followed Samuel's speech, after the familiar battle with him. He held the position of the whole army's commander, it was predetermined from the start that he would return to headquarters. Besides, there was no difference to leave it to him. From before Alexid was born the case is that Samuel was a veteran general skillfully galloping across the battlefield, without difficulty he can to that extent easily take command.
So he to the furthest bounds tried see off Alexid to the headquarters, while the horse's direction was made to change, unintentionally, underfoot a corpse was seen by the eyes. A defeated enemy he killed a while ago was there. That man was, in his hands grasping something tightly. With the desire to see it, he discovered poor inept embroidery .
Alexid had a little knowledge of it, it was in line with Castorian Knight's manners and customs. They say on the occasion when they go towards the battlefield, in an oath of loyalty, respect and affection, a lady bestows a personal effect. They carry in their hands to the battlefront proof of a lady's affection. They appear to have a very fine honour.
Without knowing why he grasped the peach coloured embroidery and covered the dead knight's face with it and quietly looked.
Alexid took one breath , and let the horse gallop towards his position on the field. There is a great number casualties, and now also still more a great number of dead he has to respond to, from now on he has to take measures for them as well. This was one part of his job he must do now.
Imperial Calendar Year 503,
The Kingdom of Adarshan defeated the Castorian Empire in battle on the Empire's western front, on the plain of Betera. This shocked the whole continent. In the past 300 years Castoria had boasted invincibility, then they suffered defeat from a small country in the north. At the same time, Adarshan, a scorned remote country of nomadic tribes, had raised up. In one bound that incident made them well known in the continent.
The whole continent was in movement, the Castorian Empire as well, sounding out the Kingdom of Adarshan. Despite being the victorious nation Adarshan was extremely courteous in attitude as regards others and a treaty of alliance was signed.
For this thing to truly continue indefinitely, the majority of people did not disturb the very composed way of looking at things. Notwithstanding there was bound to be some strain, but peace in the nation's subjects' lives was beneficial. People with open arms accepted this brief peace.
One section, save the exception of a small part. (probably as in an official history book...)

Hitch: I'm just now realizing, SGBye, that we have walked very similar paths.
SGBye: Even if this stuff is beaten into your head from childhood, there's still hope of getting away relatively unscathed. I officially joined the SGI around 6 months old, learned gongyo (prayers) at 7, and can remember having a photo of Ikeda in my room around that same age. In fact, my first name was actually given to me by Ikeda. I believe it's a fairly common thing in Japan to request Ikeda to name your expected child. I've briefly considered changing my name, but it would be a hassle at this point since I'm well into my thirties.
Hitch: I remember doing gongyo before kindergarten and I grew up in a house with Ikeda's picture hanging up on the wall next to the family bustudan (in fact, it's still there). I've seen all kinds (and I mean ALL KINDS) of members come and go throughout my life and years in the practice. Some are still plugging away at it, no different in the their personal fortunes (some even worse off) and just getting drastically older.
SGBye: I was very active in the SGI: being in the brass band and doing gymnastics at conventions, shakubuku, various leadership positions. But, even after all of that, I had no problem walking away. It was a combination of seeing deception and corruption with my own eyes, reading plausible things on the Internet, and being turned off by the ever-growing worship of Ikeda (the guy who named me!). I don't harbor any ill feelings toward my parents. In fact, I feel kind of sad for them. They've given a lot of their time (and money) to the SGI but are far from living what I would call quality lives in their golden years. So where is all that good fortune they were supposedly building up by fighting for kosen-rufu?
Hitch: I was extremely active as well. My practice grew and grew, climaxing briefly around high school age, then slowly drifting off (with education and critical thinking). They tried to get me to be a HQ leader, but I just as quickly backed out of it, because it coincided with the same time that I was becoming increasingly wary of the organization. My bullsh** meter started to register more & more with time, until I finally called it quits. I just simply walked away and only reengaged when contacted or home v'ed. At one point, I had some things to get out of my system, so I went and saw Mr. Williams and did so. Although I had already been out for quite a while, it solidified everything. I could see things in an entirely different light. It was a like getting an unwelcome glimpse of Mr. Oz behind the curtain. I saw everything CLEARLY thru the eyes of a critical thinking adult; twas not a pretty picture, I'll just say that much.
SGBye: And then there's my sibling, who is a completely different story from me. My sibling is way into the SGI (and I mean WAY into it). We can't even have a conversation without the SGI or chanting or Ikeda being brought up. And this sibling gets offended if I even say the slightest negative thing about the practice.
Hitch: Like I said, reading things on the Internet was one of the things that helped me in my decision; a decision I am so glad I made. So I agree that posting this stuff is very important. And a lot of times I just post things straight out of the World Tribune - they aren't transcriptions from any secret SGI meetings. The SGI can't protest - it's all propaganda that they themselves regularly shove down the members' throats (and encourage you to share with others).
I've got a parent who is way beyond off the deep end with the organization, a stark raving nuts gakkai kamikaze soldier. I went thru hell and back growing up with the practice, as a result. I don't really feel too sorry for them, because they are happy and unsane with the practice; if it were removed, they would just become unhappy, unable to cope and probably go entirely insane. I've come to view it as a lesser of two evils, given what I know. So, it is what it is and such is life. Lots of wasted finances, I'll grant you that, but it's what they *wanted* to do and made them happy.
I knew what the cult was about long before the internet. The internet merely confirmed it all. The only thing that really surprised me was that there were so many others who had been thru the same ringer, especially so-called "fortune babies" who grew up in the practice. In a way, it's kind of refreshing to know that there are others out there who have survived, come out the other end and reclaimed their compass, sanity and lives.
On that note, a tip of my hat to all of you who managed to make it out, especially to fellow kids (now adults) who through no real choice of their own were *forced* to grow up and be brainwashed in the practice.
On that note, a tip of my hat to all of you who managed to make it out, especially to fellow kids (now adults) who through no real choice of their own were *forced* to grow up and be brainwashed in the practice.

Embarking upon a wonderful culinary journey, our tastebuds were delighted with exotic delicacies from Kashmir. Radisson Blu Kaushambi hosted a happening evening at Kama, their Indian specialty restaurant. Kashmiri food, which is indeed relished by a lot of people, is a perfect blend of intricate detailing and amalgamation of subtle flavors. These authentic delicacies at the festival were dished out by Mrs.Mohini Mattoo, a 76 years old grandmother, born and brought up in Ranawali district, Kashmir. Her warmth and humble nature definitely added to the whole experience!
The tabak maaz was just how it should be, juicy mutton pieces cooked in warm masalas with the added goodness of milk and saffron. Also, the paneer starter accompanying this was soft yet nothing extraordinary, though we liked the flavor of the mustard oil and the soft, subtle flavors. An added delight were the chutneys accompanying these starters, of which the garlic and radish chutney stood out the most.
For mains, try the kashmiri rajma and the traditional goshtaba, you will not stand disappointed. These were accompanied by breads, which however, were a let down since they were a little chewy and not warm enough. Our hearts go out to the Kashmiri pulao, which was balanced yet so flavorful. Since this pulao is traditionally cooked with dry fruits, they definitely added another dimension to the dish.
Ending our meal on a sweet note, we dig into the desserts. The subtle phirni was cooked well, and had a smooth texture. The simplicity of the shufta and the crunch shall stay with us for long. Till then, make sure you try the Wazwan at the Kashmir food festival that ends soon!

Reprobing of an existing membrane is a convenient means to immunoblot for multiple proteins independently when only a limited amount of sample is available. It should be noted that for the best possible results a fresh blot is always recommended. Reprobing can be a valuable method but with each reprobing of a blot there is potential for increased background signal. Additionally, it is recommended that you verify the removal of the first antibody complex prior to reprobing so that signal attributed to binding of the new antibody is not leftover signal from the first immunoblotting experiment. This can be done by re-exposing the blot to ECL reagents and making sure there is no signal prior to adding the next primary antibody.
NOTE: Prepare solutions with reverse osmosis deionized (RODI) or equivalently purified water.

Protocol Id: 10
Ape1 Antibody detects endogenous levels of total Ape1 protein.Species Reactivity:
Human, Mouse, RatSpecies predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology:
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids surrounding Ala230 of human Ape1. Antibodies are purified by peptide affinity chromatography.
Ape1 (Apurinic/Apyrimidic eEndonuclease 1), also known as Ref1 (Redox effector factor 1), is a multifunctional protein with several biological activities. These include roles in DNA repair and in the cellular response to oxidative stress. Ape1 initiates the repair of abasic sites and is essential for the base excision repair (BER) pathway (1). Repair activities of Ape1 are stimulated by interaction with XRCC1 (2), another essential protein in BER. Ape1 functions as a redox factor that maintains transcription factors in an active, reduced state but can also function in a redox-independent manner as a transcriptional cofactor to control different cellular fates such as apoptosis, proliferation and differentiation (3). Increased expression of Ape1 is associated with many types of cancers including cervical, ovarian, prostate, rhabdomyosarcomas and germ cell tumors (4). Ape1 has been shown to stimulate DNA binding of several transcription factors known to be involved in tumor progression such as Fos, Jun, NF-κB, PAX, HIF-1, HLF and p53 (4). Mutation of the Ape1 gene has also been associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) (5,6).
