text: Audiobooks The Tale of DespereauxAuthor Kate DiCamillo – Kairafanan.co Posted on 15 March 2019 By Kate DiCamillo Um, I really disliked this book I read it aloud with my 3 and feel like a bad parent for doing so Poor Miggery Sow named after a pig, motherless, traded for next to nothing, abused, and then later described as lazy and fat Crikey And then there was the author s penchant for describing things to the Reader as an aside Despereaux actually has a small part considering the continuous horrors of the story evil rats, fair weathered parents siblings, the Queen s death, and the no soup decree Author, HATED IT. I remember reading books like this or having them read to me as a kid It was always a frustrating experience, because I never liked when the author would stop the story in order to go back over something Yeah, I got it the first time, I would think to myself Learning, teaching and making sure the kids get it is important, but so is keeping them engaged The story itself is only okay It s nothing terribly exciting and honestly not a lot happens There s an unusual mouse and he wishes to save the day Scenes are small in scope and the action is minimal Midway through another issue cropped up Where did Despereaux go He just disappears for nearly half the book And right in the middle You can t title a book The Tale of Despereaux and not have a Despereaux in it for half the bloody thing I read this to see if it would be good to read to my niece I will not be reading this to her If I don t have patience for it, there s no way in hell she will A Brave Mouse, A Covetous Rat, A Wishful Serving Girl, And A Princess Named Pea Come Together In Kate DiCamillo S Newbery Medal Winning TaleWelcome To The Story Of Despereaux Tilling, A Mouse Who Is In Love With Music, Stories, And A Princess Named Pea It Is Also The Story Of A Rat Called Roscuro, Who Lives In The Darkness And Covets A World Filled With Light And It Is The Story Of Miggery Sow, A Slow Witted Serving Girl Who Harbors A Simple, Impossible Wish These Three Characters Are About To Embark On A Journey That Will Lead Them Down Into A Horrible Dungeon, Up Into A Glittering Castle, And, Ultimately, Into Each Other S Lives What Happens Then As Kate DiCamillo Would Say Reader, It Is Your Destiny To Find Out OK, so now that I ve thought about what I really think about this book, I m changing my rating from 3 stars to 2 stars There wasthat I didn t like than I liked After hearing a lot good reports about this book, I think I was expecting something different I liked the idea of the light versus dark I liked the unlikely friendship between the mouse and the princess I liked the forgiveness And I liked that it ended up happily ever after , for the most part I started out reading this book aloud to my boys, but I stopped reading to them after the first rat chapter and finished the book myself, then gave them the condensed version, picking up with the actual reading at the very end of the book They were disturbed and so was I by the unfeeling evil of the rats I felt even worse about the constant ear boxing and degredation of Miggery Sow I didn t go for another princess story without a mom Just like all the Disney movies Mom is deceased and Dad is oblivious And what about the mouse family Yikes I didn t like that the darkness in the story seemed to outweigh the light The rat and Miggery Sow chapters were simply unpleasant The lack of positive family feelings was sad And what is this about Miggery Sow and a big kitchen knife Hmm.I guess I was anticipatinglight More love More happy family feelings I realize that the negative was essential to make the contrast between light and dark, but for me, there was just too much dark and not enough light Especially for a prize winning book geared for young people. Seeing the Light A Book Review of Kate DiCamillo s The Tale of Desperaux Despereaux Tilling is the most unusual mouse you lll likely meet Conspicously small with considerable large ears, he has always been seen as different, an outsider among his own a mouse drawn to music, fascinated with stories, and breaks the strict rule of their kind by falling in love with a human, the Princess Pea.Roscuro leads a normal, rotten rat life in the dungeon, his is a world of utter darkness Until one day, when a match was lit in front of his face and he ventures upstairs in the castle, he began to crave nothing but the color and light that he is denied, and and so vows to make others miserable, plunging them to the gloom which he is subjected.Miggery Sow, named after his fahter s favorite prize winning pig, lost her mother when she was young Her father abandoned and sold her away to an old man who boxed the girl s ear until she became hard of hearing Finally, on a fateful stroke of fortune, she came to the castle where she proved to be a slow witted servant But Mig has aspirations she has seen the Princess and wants to become her.These unique assortment of characters will set out to an adventure and stumble into each others lives in Kate DiCamillo s 2004 Newbery award winning novel, The Tale of Despereaux For a long time I ve looking for a children s book that I will flat out love and this book has got to be it Beautifully told by a narrator that directly speaks to the reader, it has a delicate magic about it that holds the yours attention from start to finish, spellbound by the unfolding story page after page, seize by its peculiar storyline that jumps backwards and forwards into certain events in the tale that leaves you anticipating for what s going to happen next.Kate DiCamillo s voice,trimmed with wit and wisdom, is wildly authorative asking us questions showing us a thing or two about what is disappointment, grief, prejudice, and forgiveness sometimes instructing the reader to look up a particular word in the dictionary and pointing us about the consequences of certain actions while at the same over the top, funny, and confiding yet in a manner that doesn t feel intrusive, talks down to its reader or break the story s pace It s a wondeful storyteller s voice that makes every word beg to be read aloud.Timothy Basil Ering s sprightly illustrations adddimension to its quirky characters and takes the reader a step beyond the world of Despereaux The book s lovely design gives this fairy tale a mythic feel that contributes to its over all enjoyment.Over and above, what makes The Tale of Despereaux truly remarkable is that it boldly tackles weighty themes that regular children s books would have avoided Given that this is a fairy tale with talking animals as its characters, Kate DiCamillo dares to raise topics that are too close for comfort She doesn t shy away from or sugar cost the darker aspects of her story by bringing to the fore subjects such as cruelties one can do to harm or hurt others, violence, child abuse and the most awful of the lot parental abandonment Through Despereaux s story we see the pains of being different and his search for love and acceptance, things that are not often freely given, sadly sometimes, by those who belong in our primal relationship or even by those who are close to us Dealing with these raw emotions in a way makes me feel that it may not appeal to some readers, notable of which are parents who are cautious with what their children are reading and I at one see that this might not be an ideal bedtime story reading But well meaning parents please do check this one out Far from being gloomy, The Tale of Despereax is a book that celebrates courage in believing in yourself, honor, redemption, kindness, compassion and forgiveness As a full bodied soup, it warms and comforts the heart As an entr e, the author serves up a satisfying meal in the grand tradition of the Grimm Brother s fairy tales yet with distinction all its own and a balanced treatment of its main ingridient, the darkness and light, each equally important but with a decided appreciation towards the latter for just as the author declares Stories are light Yes, I believe this story illuminates and will be cherieshed by children and child at hearts It shines on.And how did it end you ask It may not end up in the way they exactly wished for, as dreams aren t realized in the way one hopes it to be Still one can create it in a way it is need and can be achieved inways than one which goes to say that yes, Gentle Reader, each character deserves their own happily ever after.Book Details Book 9 for 2011Published by Candlewick Press Hardcover, First Edition 2003 270 pagesStarted March 27, 2011Finished March 27, 2011My Rating See this book review on my book blog Dark Chest of Wonders and for many others. Absolutely enchanting Full of compassion, sweetness and dreamers, with exquisite word choice and delicate rhythms The narrator s voice is like a comforting but sharply intelligent grandmother, pushing you to both see and feel with the best of yourself I started to read this this this morning for work purposes, I finished it because I couldn t put it down. 3 starsI remember reading this as a child and enjoying it, though I m sure it wouldn t be as good as when I d read it at eleven Therefore, 3 stars seems good enough. I never knew this was a book I saw the movie of it on one of my bus trips north Or maybe it was on the return trip south Or even both, because I know I saw it twice I thought the movie was wonderful, but as I say, I never knew it had been a book first I just stumbled across the title while browsing at my favorite online used book seller one day and thought Oh, I have to get this And the book was every bit as wonderful as the movie Actually better, because I loved the way DiCamillo would address remarks directly to the Reader every so often We are told to go look up the word perfidy in the dictionary We are told to say the word quest out loud It is an extraordinary word, isn t it So small and yet so full of wonder, so full of hope.And we are reminded of realities Reader, you must know that an interesting fate sometimes involving rats, sometimes not awaits almost everyone, mouse or man, who does not conform. Oh, speaking of rats Rats have a sense of humor Rats, in fact, think that life is very funny And they are right, reader They are right.Our hero Despereaux does not conform He did not fit into Mouse World from the day he was born He had to learn to be himself And his fate did involve rats, but it also involved love, hope, light, and of course soup Despereaux is supposed to eat the glue and pages of the books in the castle library, but instead he discovers that he can read, and he reads a story of a knight who rescues a princess This story gives him the idea that will eventually be both his undoing and his salvation There is a Princess, who is not used to being told what to do And there is a peasant girl is is not used to anything other than being told what to do And getting clouted on the ear I felt very sorry for this girl, named Miggery Sow Her father sold her for a red blanket, a chicken, and a handful of cigarettes She sees the Princess ride by one day and decides then that she wants to be a Princess too But the world does not care what poor Mig wants She is taken at one point from the man who bought her, put to work in the castle and eventually plays her part in Despereaux s quest.Parts of the story were a little puzzling to me Did Mig really have to get clouted on the ear so much Was it necessary to have her and later the King described as not the sharpest knife in the drawer This bit troubled me a little, but overall the book is fun, and would be great to read aloud. I picked this book up on a whim in the Barnes Noble because I liked the look of the cover and the jagged edges of the paper that gave it a classic feel I was looking for a new bedtime book to read to my children 2 and 6 at the time We like to read a bigger book, one chapter each night for bedtime stories I read the description and thought it sounded like a good idea so I went ahead and bought it which is REALLY unusual for me I can be a cheapskate It is by far some of the best money I have ever spent The book is really that good While technically a children s story, I could have read this as an adult before I had kids and loved the book just as much it is a story that is so beautiful, classic and timeless The thing I think I love the most about her writing style is that she does NOT dumb anything down Not the language, characters, plot, theme or anything The style is like a story teller telling you the story, with some asides and speaking to the reader Which added so much to the story The book is paced perfectly there were many nights we all wanted to just keep reading and reading , and the chapters are perfect breaking points I would not be surprised at all to find out that she purposefully chose the chapter breaks with nightly reading in mind there is a wonder cliff hanger feel to each chapter ending Every night my son would look at me with big eyes and say I wonder what is going to happen next The themes are very complex, but everything is understandable even to young children my 2 year old daughter was able to follow along without too much difficulty but with a lot of word definitions I liked that it dealt with such big themes like duty and love and heartache and redemption and the reality of the world around you ie certain characters are not evil but mean, sometimes people do stupid things that you can t fix, etc I could go on all day about things that I loved and scenes that were so wonderful i can still see them in my head We have read this as a family for bedtime stories 3 times now And given the chapter a night pace and the size of the book, that is no small feat This is a book that I will save and give to my grandchildren I can t recommend it enough Also check out The Journey of Edward Tulane we loved Despereaux , but it is a very close call That book is very similar and also wonderful. The Tale of Despereaux, Kate DiCamilloThe adventures of a mouse named Despereaux Tilling, as he sets out on his quest to rescue a beautiful human princess from the rats The novel is divided into four books and ends with a coda Each book tells the story from a different character s or group of characters perspective Despereaux, Roscuro, Miggery Sow, and finally all of them combined 2005 1383 286 9789643691516 1395 21 1388 232 9786005503173 1389 176 9789649549200 1393 253 9786009508662.

The past two decades have seen the development of several important trends in the management of industrially oriented R&D. Many companies are moving beyond the reliance on in-house R&D teams for innovation generation to strategies that encompass global outreach for external outsourcing and resourcing.
Open Innovation (OI), a term coined by Henry Chesbrough in 2003, describes this growing trend of large, multinational companies searching for technologies and IP beyond their own, internal R&D functions. The essence of the idea is that companies need to accept ideas and technologies from the outside to drive new product innovation, rather than depending solely on their own research teams, and to spin out or out-license technologies that don't fit with the company's own remit.
The classic diagrammatic representation of OI is the "leaky funnel". An industrial product development process is often represented by a funnel – with many concepts entering at one end and a few new products coming out the other end. The novel feature of OI is that external innovations enter the product development process, and off-target innovations can exit, at many points along the funnel – from concepts to developed technologies and even products.
OI is mostly associated with large multinational packaged goods companies, primarily based in the US and Europe, such as Unilever and Procter & Gamble. These companies have teams of technology scouts across the world tasked with identifying technologies and IP that fit into their companies' research pipelines. By combining in-house expertise with external technology access, these companies can efficiently expand their product pipelines.
Whilst Australasia is a potential source of technologies for companies using the OI model, the relatively small number of large companies based in Australasia limits the extent to which OI can flourish in the region. Rather, the large number of SMEs (small-medium enterprises) across Australasia has driven a different approach – widespread, networked innovation where organisations pool resources to develop new technologies to meet their collective needs. When properly constructed, this model brings together players from across the innovation cycle and increases the flow of innovations. It works best particularly for sectors and industries with a strong sense of identity.
This Australasian model is becoming increasingly global with local companies fronting international initiatives to coordinate innovation and prevent duplication of research in areas that are non-competitive. One example of this is the Global Dairy Platform, established by New Zealand company Fonterra, where member companies share information and support the viability of the sector by facilitating open innovation and collaboratively addressing the opportunities and threats facing the global dairy industry.
Because of its size, New Zealand is an ideal candidate for this type of model, so it's not surprising that the horticulture industry has a strong model of networked innovation. The levy mechanism applied by many sectors provides a method where individual grower contributions accumulate to provide a substantial fund for R&D that benefits the industry as a whole. This contribution can also be used to gain access to additional industry-matched funding from the New Zealand government.
Similarly to the Open Innovation model, Plant & Food Research, the primary research provider to the New Zealand horticulture industry, has scouts in key markets looking for potential innovation links. However, contrary to the OI model, these scouts are identifying potential partners to facilitate an expansion of the country's R&D network, creating a larger scale for innovation. Establishing this wider network multiplies the sector's cooperative R&D into a global consortium with greater feedback benefits to the New Zealand industry.

WASHINGTON, June 10 (UPI) -- The Pentagon Papers, a window into U.S. action in Vietnam that has been officially closed for decades, will be declassified, the National Archives said.
The National Archives and the Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon Presidential Libraries Monday "will release in its entirety the official Report of the Office of the Secretary of Defense Vietnam Task Force (commonly referred to as the Pentagon Papers)," the Archives said in a release Thursday.
"This is the 40th anniversary of the leak of these Papers by The New York Times. Approximately 2,384 pages or 34 percent of the report will be opened for the first time as compared to the Senator (Mike) Gravel (D-Alaska) Edition of the Pentagon Papers, the most common benchmark used in Pentagon Papers discussions," the release said.
While some sections of the documents were leaked to the press, no complete, fully unredacted version of the text has ever been released to the public, The New York Times reported.
"This was a secret history project to try to figure out why we were in such a national security tangle," Timothy Naftali, director of the Nixon Presidential Library and Museum, told the Times. "And now with all the material together in one place, you can see how our government wrestled with the problem."
"The fact that the Pentagon Papers were still secret is an embarrassment to the United States government," said John Prados, senior fellow at George Washington University's National Security Archive. "You've been able to read them for 40 years, but they're still secret."

Canada's best short track speed skaters did not hold back on anything on the first day of the Bell Short Track Team Selection, the event that will determine which ones will get to skate at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games. Races were full of actions and athletes fought to the end, hoping to get precious points in the 1500m and 500m.
Tania Vicent (Laval, QC) was first to secure a victory, in the women's 1500m. After cruising through her semi-final race, Vicent's experience came in handy in the final. Valérie Maltais (La Baie, QC) was first off the line, followed by Nita Avrith (Montreal, QC), Amanda Overland (Montreal, QC), Kalyna Roberge (St-Étienne-de-Lauzon, QC) and Marianne St-Gelais (St-Félicien, QC). Vicent spent the first half of the race in the back, observing, not rushing anything. With a little over 5 laps to go, and with Roberge and Maltais in the front trying to create a gap with the other skaters, Vicent came on the outside and took the 2nd position, then crossed the finish line 1st in 2:32.836. Roberge was second to cross the line, but got disqualified for charging earlier in the race and has to settle for 6th place. Overland got 2nd in 2:33.093, then came Maltais (2:33.168), St-Gelais (2:33.195) and Avrith (2:33.244).
"Today was a really good day for me," said Tania Vicent with a smile at the end of her racing day. "I made the two finals, which I'm really happy about. In the 1500m final, I was patient, I was planning on making my move later than I actually did, but I knew at that point I had to, if I didn't want the girls to escape."
The most experience athlete on the Canadian team also skated well in the 500m, finishing her first two rounds in second place behind Kalyna Roberge. In the final, Valérie Maltais, Jessica Gregg (Edmonton, AB) and Marianne St-Gelais were alongside Vicent and Roberge. Gregg, known for her very fast start, was first off the start, closely followed by Roberge and Vicent. Roberge and Gregg switched positions a couple of times but Roberge managed the victory in 44.064. Gregg had to settle for second place in 44.091 and Vicent was third (44.363). The young St-Gelais and Maltais were fourth and fifth in 44.475 and 45.285 respectively.
"In the 1500m, I think I was too focused," explained Roberge. "I was looking at my objective, but nothing else. I felt stuck, I had to let go. After my race, I had to refocus. In the 500m, it was a new Kalyna on the line, I took that race like any Canadian Selection race, not like an Olympic one. I reminded myself it was the overall points that mattered, not just one race. It's funny, the same thing happened to me four years ago in the Olympic Trials, I was disqualified in the 1500m and then came back to win the 500m."
On the men side, Michael Gilday (Yellowknife, NT) took the honours of the 1500m race, with a final full of action. Guillaume Bastille (Rivière-du-Loup, QC) took first place off the start line, followed by Marc-André Monette (Pointe-aux-Trembles, QC) and Gilday. Monette took the lead moments later, but was passed by François Hamelin (Ste-Julie, QC). All the men were trying to position themselves in the front, with the exception of Liam McFarlane (Medicine Hat, AB) and Olivier Jean (Lachenaie, QC) who stayed behind at the beginning. Gilday finished in the lead in 2:15.340, Bastille just behind (2:15.400). Jean made a move on the outside in the last lap, but was a little too late and he had to settle for third position in 2:15.644. Hamelin, Monette and McFarlane followed in that order.
"My 1500m race was awesome, to go out and win off the bat is great," said Gilday. "It's my first win at a Canadian selection, so I was excited, but then I went right back to refocusing, recovering for the next race."
The 500m men's final was another exciting one, with on the line Jean, McFarlane, Hamelin and Rémi Beaulieu (Alma, QC). McFarlane had a very fast start, but was then caught up by Jean and Hamelin. Jean passed inside with two laps to go, and Hamelin followed moments later, cruising to the finish line 1st and 2nd respectively (41.748 and 41.829). Beaulieu also managed to pass McFarlane in the last lap and finished in 42.018, with McFarlane clocking in 42.050.
This put an end to the first of five race days at the Pacific Coliseum. While today's results are a great motivation for the winners, nothing is set. Athletes will get two more chances to race on those distances, and their top two results out of three will be used to determine the final ranking per distance. "Everyone is nervous in the Olympic Selection. Coming in and skating well on the first day is great for the confidence, you know you can do it, physically and mentally," concluded Michael Gilday.
Athletes will now get two days of training before competition resumes on Wednesday, August 12th, with 1000m and 500m races starting at 2:20pm at the Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver.

Western Weyr - Ground Level Guest Weyr
This spaceous ground level weyr was hand hewn from the volcanic rock of the island, leaving the black walls and floor somewhat rough and uneven. Softening the darkness of the weyr are many small glows placed in alcoves just above eye level which cast a warm, yellow light.
Defined by a large, plush rug from the weavercraft is the living area for the riders. Several chairs, a writing desk, a large bed and a wardrobe are scattered in a pleasing fashion upon the blue-green rug. On the walls are several tapistries showing scenes of dragon's cavorting in Western's lagoon, dolphins at play on the sea and a dragon's eye view of Western Weyr as seen from the lookout point at the top of the crater.
Ah, post flight mornings. They are often very lovely. And this one is very lovely. And very dark. With no windows, and no way to tell what time it is, S'ol's only chronometer is Tarieth, and she's far from awake right now. He fidgets a bit as the bleariness of sleep slips away slowly from him. The realization he isn't alone doesn't faze him, he just curls up even more comfortably into the strong shoulder of the person he spent the night with. A dreamy sort of sigh escapes him and a deep breath and he closes his eyes again. No need to go anywhere.
Most weyrs were pretty dark. The bedroom areas rarely have windows, even if you're in one of the luxurious ground weyrs. Suldith will usually wake Zi'on when biology doesn't kick in. But since the night was spent flying instead of sleeping, even the bronze is still snoozing. Zi'on himself is a night-owl, so he would sleep until noon everyday if given the chance. Zi'on is also used to a restless weyrmate who is up and down throughout the night and generally wakes up before him. At the fidgeting Zi'on doesn't move, or even really seem to wake up. But he does ask "What time is it?" clear enough to be understood.
S'ol yawns, and opens his eyes, only a little bit, only long enough to try and see who he's with, remembering completely, then yawning again. "I have no idea," he admits, and puts his head onto the other man's chest. "Morning maybe?" Though it wouldn't surprise S'ol if it was afternoon. The flight did take place pretty late at night.
Whoa! That was not the voice Zi'on was expecting! He jumps a bit, and jerks himself awake. Oh right, it was all coming back to him now! "Shards and shells. S'ol." He laughs. "You scared me. I forgot where I was." Zi'on yawns and rubs his face with his free hand and then partakes in some choice scratching. "Nrm… It's probably past morning. I had to get up out of bed to come here I think." He reaches for the glow basket on the nightstand and flips it open so they can see.
S'ol sits up groggily. He's starting to get used to waking up with random people after a flight. But its something interesting to wake up with the weyrleader. That reaction makes him smile, then he winces a bit with the light. "I was already awake when she took off. She obviously couldn't sleep that night and she kept me up too…" he pulls the blankets up and yawns. "I think I'll sleep in…"
Once S'ol is off him the weyrleader sits up as well. He stretches out and pops his back a bit. "I can imagine not." He says about not being able to sleep. "I was asleep though. Kiena is probably mad at me for running out like that on her. I wonder if Ujinath chased at all." If he had Kiena is sure to be extra mad at Zi'on. He laughs at S'ol. "Well, you go ahead and do that." Zi'on gets out of bed and heads to washroom. Woo, nekid weyrleader!
S'ol watches Mr Nekid going with approving and appraising eyes. Mrow. That Kiena is a very lucky woman. Wait…no…bad S'ol! Think unsexy thoughts! Think unsexy thoughts! "Oh, now I don't think I can sleep…" he says, more to himself than anything else, and sits up. Hm, naked weyrleader in the washroom. No…bad idea. Very bad idea. He covers his head with the blanket.
Zi'on is unawares of any ogling. He just needs to use the bathroom! Kiena might beg to differ with the greenrider. She has to deal with him all the time and with his other more annoying bits of his persona. It wasn't all just sexy times! Once his business is finished Zi'on comes out and rubs his face a bit. "Beard is coming in nice." Zi'on is hairy in general. Though most of it is confined to his legs, arms, chest and head. His nether regions are… sculpted. He looks around to see if he can locate his clothes. It was always harder when it was two men.
S'ol has the well tailored fine woven clothing, of course, being from the Weavercraft. He looks over the covers, sneaking a long look at him. "Yes it is," he rubs his own chin, searching in vain for stubble. "Can you hand me my clothes while you're up?"
Then again, it would be hilarious if they both wore each other's clothes out of the weyr. Or maybe not.
Who knows what sort of clothes Zi'on had thrown on in the middle of the night? Whatever he could find probably. Hopefully nothing of his weyrmate's or that will be an awkward walk back. Zi'on tosses whatever clothes he can find onto the bed. He holds up a pair of boxer shorts. "Are these yours or mine? I can't find a second pair. Maybe I didn't wear any."
S'ol looks suddenly bashful. "I wear briefs," he admits, and looks under the blankets. "Maybe I had them on when we…" Blush. "Ah, I think I'll be fine…" Oh that is awkward. But he wears long tunics so its not like he has to hide much…So anyways….
Zi'on slides into the boxers then. "Ah, good deal. Underpants mystery solved." Crisis averted! Not that Zi'on would have had any problem walking back to the weyr commando. Zi'on smoothes out his hair and puts on the pair of shorts he apparently put on before coming over. He tries to put on a shirt, but it's a little too small on him. Or a lot too small. Zi'on is quite a bit taller than S'ol is, and probably a bit broader through the shoulders. "Ack. This must be yours." He tosses it to the greenrider. "I need some klah…"
S'ol takes the tunic that lands on his head and quickly pulls it on. "Me too," he now is covered, okay maybe he's a little awkward in the mornings, and picks up a pair of trousers. "These are definitely mine," they're a little bit…skin tight, and bright green. He pulls them on. "Now, um, socks, shoes and I'm going back to my own weyr for a longer sleep." Poor S'ol. He's not looking upset about having been kept up half the night though. The other half was rather pleasant.
It would probably be easier if Zi'on were a little more modest. Or more interested in men. As it stands though he's mostly interested in getting back home, getting some klah and a bath. Zi'on laughs at the pants. "How do you even fit into those? They look like they're crushing your junk!" Zi'on gives S'ol a friendly tap on the behind, then pulls on his shirt. Really it's more an undershirt than a tunic. And then puts on his sandals. It was a little cool for such a get up, but when you're in a hurry…
S'ol turns bright red, then jumps a little at the tap. "They're for looks more than comfort," he admits, pulling his tunic down a little lower. "Um, have you seen my shoes?" he looks under the bed.
Zi'on chuckles. "I figured as much. Did they get you some action before the flight?" The bronzer wouldn't be caught wearing anything like that unless he'd lost a bet or something. He looks around around his feet for S'ol's shoes. "Hmm. I don't see them. Maybe they're outside? Right outside the door or something maybe?"
S'ol thinks about it. "Now that I think about it, I'm not sure I had my shoes on…" he does find his socks though. "Socks but no shoes? Eech," he sticks his tongue out. Okay, so maybe he's a little finicky and fancy. He's not a big brawny burly type, and he's got so many weaver relatives that he's never had to worry about clothes, so he wears maybe stuff that are strange or exotic. But he will not fight with the weyrleader over his clothes. "Next flight I'll try not to grab my smallest pair of pants," and maybe wear shoes too.
Zi'on chuckles. "No? You were walking around in your socks but no shoes? That's strange. At least it's not wet out I suppose." Zi'on really wasn't that big and burly, but he's never found the appeal in lots of fancy clothes. He could probably stand to get a few more nice clothes, but it seemed a hassle to call in his weaver all the time. "Heh. I don't care what you wear. Especially in a flight, since it's all gotta come off eventually anyways." Zi'on moves over to give S'ol a somewhat manly hug and musses his hair. "I should get going."
S'ol enjoys the hug for what it is. But he has this feeling he's going to be feeling a little odd the next time he sees the Weyrleader. "Until next flight then," he winks and then starts to double check the blankets, and under the bed. He hates losing things and wants to make sure before he leaves.

Does honeydew melon have anything to do with honey?
10 Answers
- Lib.rare.ianLv 710 months agoFavorite Answer
Not exactly. When a honeydew melon is fully ripe it exudes a sweet sticky moisture on the surface of the melon, which is referred to as "honeydew". By the time melons get to your grocery store these days, the surface stickiness has usually been washed away, if it was ever allowed to develop in the first place.
- Anonymous10 months ago
It just kind of smells/tastes like honey, if it's ripe.
- jamesLv 710 months ago
No. It is a cross between a American Canalope & the middle East musk mellon. By cross breading them you have a honey dew mellon

Does HONEYDEW melon have anything to do with honey ?
Honeydew is a fruit of a group of MUSKMELON part of a gourd family
actually the name HONEYDEW is the AMERICAN name
for the WHITE ANTIBES melon which are common to France .
.. In China they are called BAILAN melons or WALLACE melon
which were introduced to China by American agriculture secretary WALLACE in 1944 hybrid seeds were given as a gift
amusingly in CHILE its called the "TUNA" melon
perhaps the sweetness resembles that of Honey

No, it's just a sweet melon when ripe.
- ckngbbblsLv 710 months ago
nope, nothing to do with dew either.
- deniseLv 710 months ago
I dont think so, but when your'e buying them, you test if their ripe by their smell, which smells quite sweet [maybe like honey?].
And they used to be served [in slices] in some restaurants, with some ham & a little honey as a starter.
- Anonymous10 months ago
A honeydew melon is called a honeydew melon because it's sweet like honey.
- 10 months ago
Yes bees live in the mellon and lay their honey. It mixes with the melon dew to form honeydew melons.
- 10 months ago
No, they don't. The honey in honeydew may refer to the sweetness of the melon, and the similarity in flavour to honey.


text: People gather to get fuel at a petrol station in Khartoum amid subsidy cuts [Reuters] Sudanese police forces have fired tear gas at about 300 Sudanese protesters demonstrating against a government decision to cut fuel subsidies. Strike in Sudan in protest against rising costs Groups have staged persistent protests for weeks over the subsidy cuts, which have led to a sharp rise in the cost of other goods, including medicines. Several opposition groups called for a three-day nationwide strike earlier this week, which received a mixed response. "No, no to high prices," shouted about 300 men and women as they marched along a main street of Omdurman near Khartoum on Wednesday morning, an AFP correspondent reported. Anti-riot police swiftly arrived at the scene and fired tear gas to disperse them, the reporter said. Sudanese authorities have cracked down on protests in an attempt to prevent a repeat of the deadly unrest that followed a previous round of subsidy cuts in 2013. Dozens of people were killed after large demonstrations were crushed, drawing international condemnation. Newspaper crackdown Authorities have already arrested more than a dozen opposition politicians in recent weeks, and also cracked down on newspapers critical of subsidy cuts. Members of the powerful National Intelligence and Security Service (NISS) have seized entire print runs of several dailies that reported the opposition strike call or questioned the cuts. Authorities have also halted broadcasts by Omdurman Channel, a private television channel, accusing it of operating without a licence, a charge its owner denied. "Today at 8:30pm we received a letter from the authorities saying the channel has been stopped from broadcasting because it didn't have a licence," Hussein Khojali, the channel's owner, told AFP on Sunday. "This is completely false," he said, adding that the channel had obtained a licence six years earlier when it had been launched. Media in Sudan are frequently targeted for their reporting. The country regularly ranks near the bottom of international press freedom rankings. SOURCE: News Agencies Human Rights Sudan Africa

OK, VJII is beyond hope.
Go Hoosiers. Proud that my new jersey girl daughter is a freshman there. Don't know much about b'ball but I'm learning from you guys! Final four???? Indulge me. I work in NYC!
Wow…just..wow. Thought we were a goner for sure after being 7 down and Verdell doing his best Rex Grossman imitation…
Tom Crean is the greatest coach ever. Cody is the savior. I'm convinced.
WINNING. Welcome to the family, Hoosier Mom.
Hoosier Mom; welcome to the site and congratulations on your daughter attending IU. I hope she has a wonderful college experience. As for basketball, the passion that we Hoosiers have about basketball is something you have to witness in order to believe it. I hope you get a chance to attend an IU game in Bloomington, surrounded by the best basketball fans on earth! I assure you you'll remember the experience.
Great win tonight for the Hoosiers!!! VJIII needs to dribble less, but it was a great team effort. 7-0 baby!!
WOW!!! Best I think Indiana has played since they beat Duke in 2002.I think Watford is really starting to come around..Jones I don't think will ever come around.Hull's played great and what a 3 toward's the end of the game!!Coach Crean made every right decision..Remy gave some great minute's and Pritchard did what he had to do.VO was awesome…look's like Isiah out there and Zeller…well let's hope we keep him for 4 year's.Will played a good game…I think Indiana served notice to the nation tonight that we are on our way back.Very young and will lose some game's we should win and win some game's we should lose..but tonight was awesome.Don't overlook Stetson just to get to Kentucky…but to beat Kentucky…
I really like CTC but his love affair with VJIII has got to end. We could have won this one by at least 20. Jordy never ceases to amaze. Whenever we need a basket…BOOM. Vic and Will…outstanding. CW had his moments. CZ was great but didn't have to be the whole show. TP really provided some great minutes.
With the exception of leaving Verdell in FOREVER CTC had a really nice rotation.
I feel bad because I'm a very positive fan but the Verdell experiment has has its run. He can be a valuable contributor coming off the bench but he needs to understand that he is a complimentary player, not a key scorer.
Gary Harris are you kidding me?? Did you watch this game…why would he not want to be apart of this??
Abell really played well tonight and is establishing himself as the best of this freshman class. He will be able to contribute this year and make a difference as a freshman. I think Watford may have started to see the writing on the wall with WS and VO playing so well. If he continues to play like this and improve, he will be a difference maker. Great Win! The last two years this team would have folded after giving up the lead like they did at the end of the first half. They hung in there and use the defense to make the comeback.
Tonight, I saw the major improvement in IU's rebounding. But I was most impressed with IU's poise. I never saw them get rattled tonight, and that was huge. They'd give up the lead and just work harder to recapture it. In fact, NCS lost their poise in the game, as if they could not believe the refs would dare to call a foul on their star shooter in the last five minutes. NCS lost their poise while IU kept their focus. Then IU finished the game with an exclamation point. Beautiful. HUGE IMPROVEMENT!
When CZ puts on 20 pounds in muscle, he'll be unstoppable. He plays well beyond his years and is better than advertised. He was a great recruit and makes a huge difference.
Chet, I respect your posts and agree with many of your comments, but I don't agree with your comments about VJ. He does some things I can't stand to watch, but I don't see anyone else on the team replacing his minutes. He has improved since last year, so hopefully he will continue to improve. Back in the day, I could not stand to watch Dan D play. Every time he was on the floor he made me want to cover my eyes. That continued until I saw Bobby Knight explain the value of the many things that Dan was doing for the team, most of which I had not considered. Given the improvement I've seen with the team this year, I have to give TC the benefit of the doubt about his choice to play VJ as much as he is.
After tonight's win, Michigan's recent losses and the news about Minnesota's star going down for the year, I might have to adjust my prediction of IU going 17 – 15 this year. Tonight they showed that they are better than most people, myself included, thought they'd be. Great win.
Welcome to the darkside you VJ haters. J/K
I've said it for a year and a half. It seems every crucial play, there was a crucial turnover, by VJ. I know he can still be valuble, but…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………We need to salvage somtething out of Watfords heigth. The kid busted a big shot tonight. Is it me or does he just not realize there is a game going on around him? He seems lost on D. Real slow with help. I want him to do well.
Good job Hoosiers, good job Big Ten.
Jones sucks. Pritchard is awful. Coach needs to cut ties with these two dumba**es. My evidence: coach took those two homers out with four minutes left and look what happened…IU started rolling again. Give Remy Jones' minutes and Elston Pritchard's minutes. Good win, but it took awhile to get there. Still some imprvements to make (i.e. blocking out).
Good point Po. (1st para.)
Podunker, I understand. He has improved. Sometimes it takes an unbiased eye. My wife (no expert) watched for ten minutes and asked "Why is that guy on the floor". Granted, an unbiased eye of a novice is not where you go for advice, but even she saw his failings. He is 'below the level of team competence'. How's that for a stat?
He's playing worse than the people who would be playing if he were not on the floor. That's the deal. He can be a GREAT contributor. BUT, he thinks he needs to be a primary scorer. He doesn't have the skills. They need to put him in a position to contribute
Remy looked very good.
…forgot to finish. Remy looked really good. But…"the best in the class"? CZ is in the same class. He's kinda better.
Vj needs to really stop with his dribble drive. What a game for CZ who was fouled alot! Im still not sold on the intentional foul on vic but considering we got alot of bad calls i'll take it. This is a much tougher team! Last three years down 7 I know it's over. CZ is a an all around very good player who will score alot more when we get a pg who can get him the ball on time.
Thanks to Coach for coming in and doing all he has to clean this IU program up and turn it around.
For the last 3 years his teams have hustled and played very hard despite being short-handed and taking their lumps. Now they have grown up, added some talent, assumed their roles(for the most part), and they still play very hard! What a pleasure to see the kids on the bench all cheering at the end! They've bought in to the plan and appear to play for each other. Leadership is beginning to appear.
Certainly there is still improvement to be made. We'll have some disappointments too along the way. But I'm glad I've got my tickets. I wouldn't miss this for anything!
I'm proud of the effort that went into this the last 3 years. Keep it going Hoosiers!
I do have to say ctc subs way to early for me. We got up 10 or 12 early and he pulls two or three starters off the floor. Does anyone know why he does this? If we get in foul trouble I get it or the other coach subbing but that wasn't the case tonight. We had a dd lead and when we subbed it vanished. Other than that great job by ctc. They really improved on the glass in the 2nd half also. Thank god!!
Improvement in rebounding?
We got KILLED on the boards.
"CZ is in the same class. He's kinda better." That has to be the kindest rebuttal I have read on here ! I got a good chuckle out of that.
I see one (only one) more performance like that out of Hulls and I will have to put him way up on that list of PG's (from the earlier post) and a definite candidate for 3rd team all-B1G. I don't see Taylor not getting first team and I sorta assume Craft will get second team since OSU will be a top 5 team all year. But that was a downright ballsy performance. Not only did he make all his FT's, all the big shots, and steady the team, but he had longer, taller, more athletic defenders on him all night and still thrived. I thought he even did a decent job on D.
Zeller is a friggin man already. He is already the best big man I can ever remember IU having. DJ doesn't hold a candle to his skill level or bball IQ. Jeffries wasn't a true big. Who else is there to even consider since 1980 (about as far back as I can summon a memory)… Garrett? Uwe? Who am I missing? Newton? Killingsworth? OHHHH, I figured it out – Alan Henderson, as a senior, was better than Zeller is as a freshman. But Zeller's ceiling is so much higher, because of his clear understanding of how to play.
It's great to finally be the hammer and not the nail. I am sure we'll have that feeling a couple times this year, but now we actually have a few athletes to assert the pressure on D, instead of constantly being the ones under distress.
So proud to be a Hoosier tonight!
Laffy, IU did a very solid job down the stretch of holding NCS to one shot. Sure there were 18 offensive rebounds, including a big one on a missed FT to cut it to 3, but NCS is a taller, more athletic team, whose bigs are stronger, bouncier, and/or more experienced than ours. They certainly seemed to have more of them.
So I'll take getting out-rebounded by ONLY 3… that's right… 40-37 on the boards. That is not getting "killed".
After looking at the stats I couldn't help but notice… How was it that Jones only had 3 TO's? I felt like every time he touched the ball he was giving it up. I was starting to get sick… Did the stat guy start feeling bad for VJ and giving his turnovers to other players? Gross.
I didn't see the stats for the second half.
In the first half, we SUCKED.
Most won't remember but IU had a center years ago who averaged 15.5 rebounds and 20.5 points a game….. Walt Bellamy. Zeller's IQ may be better but Walt's game was more physical. He owned the back board and holds most of the rebounding records and played just 3 seasons. Back then Freshman could not play.
Cody Freakin Zeller, FREAKENSTEIN !
Bellamy was just before my time. Didn't get to see him play in person. I know he was a beast. But, I have to say, Zeller is the best center I've seen play for IU, in my life time. He's just the total package.
Yeah, I know the name, but he certainly pre-dates me…
I could see Zeller owning a few records if he decides to stay. No one puts up rebounding numbers like that anymore – the game has changed too much and there are just too many long, athletic players who can rebound out of area.
I want to enjoy this season and not look ahead, but it is kinda exciting to think what a Perea/Zeller front line can accomplish.
Does anyone think that Jurkin will be able to provide back up minutes to Zeller next year, or is he a total project? Could he end up anything like Henson? I see him in highlights and it's so tough to tell. I do like the way he keeps the ball high on offensive rebounds.
The thin forward/center Henson for Carolina ? I thought the same thing watching the Wisky game. I would say thats a fair comparison.
Laffy I said they improved on the boards in the second half. In the first half we got killed but im sure ctc let everyone know to get aggresive on the boards. Geoff from what i've read on Jurkin he's a great shot blocker and rebounder but has no offensive game yet. Im sure he gets a ton of put backs now but in the b10 is a different story. Alot of people (doug gottlieb) said the intentional foul was a horrible call. I clearly after seeing the replay saw two fouls on the play. We were up 4 at the time and vic was going to the line anyway so im sure we still would have won the game.
Podunker I can honestly say your the first iu fan i've ever heard say that. I understand no one being able to fill his minutes and that might be true but this kid is a turnover machine and everyone knows (especially knight) that turnovers kill your offense! I was to young to remember dd but im sure he didn't turn the ball over like vj.
Hoosierfaninky, I have sometimes questioned Crean's abundant substitutions as well. I particularly didn't understand why Zeller wasn't in on the last possession of the first half when we gave up a basket. He changes our whole defense by allowing the perimeter players to pressure more knowing he's back there as a back stop.
But, down the stretch, IU definitely was fresher and had the quicker feet and more energy across the board, as evidenced by our big run the last 7 minutes and 10-0 run the last 1:38.
So, I'd say those substitutions serve two purposes: 1)keep the defense off balance by not allowing defenders to get used to guarding any one player or lineup for a long period of time; and 2)wear down the opponent by keeping players fresh. That's what depth does for you.
At least that's how I see it.
As Chet has stated above before the season is over RA is going to play more using somebody's minutes and it won't be Hull's, VO's or Will's with the exception of injury or foul trouble. Only 1 possibility left on the list. If the season truly becomes 1 of over achievement Coach Crean is going to turn up the dial of the potentiometer for performance and that means the best performers play the most minutes. I do not see the performance line and the skill line on Jones graph intersecting at a higher point than the 4 players mentioned above. At the least he certainly will not garner more minutes in the future than he presently is receiving.
Laffy; IU out rebounded NCS in the second half. Even TC mentioned the improved rebounding as a key to the game. I did not say IU was a great rebounding team, I said they showed "major improvement." NCS was generally longer and stronger than IU and still IU did well on the boards. They need to get better, and I trust they will, but last night they showed that they have made major improvements.
Chet, VJ certainly makes too many turnovers. And he needs to continue to improve if he wants to play. But in fairness, at least for last night, their were several occasions where the refs failed to call it when VJ was obviously fouled. VJ does things that drive me crazy too, but until some other player can perform better during extended minutes, my guess is VJ will continue to play.
Hoosierfaninky; DD made a lot of contributions to his IU teams, and was a good defender, but let's just say that he was not the guy you wanted handling the ball in critical situations. He was not a turn-over machine because he was not allowed to handle the ball aside from catching it and passing it.
I'm sure Crean is making it clear to VJ that unless he reduces his turnovers, his minutes will begin to decrease. For the first time since taking the job, Crean now has the depth to use as leverage in helping his players break bad habits. But VJ's experience and potential for offensive production is not easily replaced.
Nice team effort. I agree that if Verdell continues to turn it over, he needs to sit. The level of talent and expectations has increased this year, so if he cannot rise to the occasion then coach should limit his minutes to others who can control the ball. He's an upperclassmen now so he should not be surprised if people are critical of his mistakes. Hopefully he'll be more diligent going forward.
I agree 100% podunker that so far no one can play his minutes. Im sure he will get it figured out. If he would just not drive everytime and give a head fake he can knock that mid range jumper down. Eric im in the same boat as you. It makes me cringe when he pulls them out early but so far it's paid off twice in a row so im going to just shut my pie hole!
I am not defending VJ. He has given his best effort on the court for bad teams. He did not sneak under the radar, the radar does not go that low, he went to high school in Champaign, so that should tell you something. He came to IU and has given his best effort. Whether he loses playing time or not, is not important. What is important is that he appears to be a gentleman and hopefully a student.
I realize that this is blog so anything goes but I believe VJ should be appreciated and respected. I know that I could not play in the B10, how about you?
I can't play in the B10 either but Will and VO can.
As Sophomores Will and VO #'s – ppg 12+, % .500+, TO's doz. ea., rpg WS 3.3 VO 5.1
As a Senior VJ #'s – ppg 9, % <.450, TO's 19 (he does have more assists as TO's would indicate) rpg 3.1
With this benchmark having longevity Coach Crean's decision will be all but done by B10 opening.

Exploring Long-term Protection of Normal Human Fibroblasts and Epithelial Cells from Chemotherapy in Cell Culture
Authors: Pasha Apontes, Olga V. Leontieva, Zoya N. Demidenko, Fengzhi Li, Mikhail V. BlagosklonnyOncotarget. 2011 March 2(3): 222-233; PMCID: PMC3260824
Background: Microtubule-targeting agents or mitotic inhibitors are commonly used in chemotherapy for cancer. These agents kill proliferating, or cycling, cells by causing fatal mitotic arrest. Because many normal cells cycle very frequently (bone marrow cells, hair follicles, mucosal cells, endothelial cells), these normal cells are also affected by chemotherapy, leading to many side effects and reduced chemotherapy treatment.
Purpose: To investigate chemotherapeutic cyclotherapy by utilizing special characteristics of cancer cells (dysregulation of the PI-3K/mTOR pathway and lack of p53 expression) and cell cycle arresting drugs to selectively arrest and protect normal cells during chemotherapy, then demonstrate proper recovery of normal cells following treatment.
Methods: Normal cell lines (WI-38 fibroblasts, ARPE-19 retinal pigment epithelial cells, NKE normal kidney epithelial cells) and MDA-MV-231 breast cancer cells were tested with various combinations of nutlin-3a, a cell cycle arresting drug selective for cells expressing p53, nocodazole, a mitotic inhibitor, rapamycin, a mild cytostatic agent, and metformin, an anti-diabetic drug that simulates fasting by decreasing glucose and insulin levels.
Results: G1 and G2 arrest by nutlin-3a prevented mitotic arrest caused by nocodazole in normal WI-38 fibroblasts and RPE cells, but not MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. WI-38 and RPE cells showed long-term recovery following removal of nocodazole. A combination of rapamycin and metformin caused G1/G2 arrest and partially prevented mitotic arrest caused by nocodazole in WI-38t cells, but not MDA-MB-231 cancer cells. Combinations of nutlin-3a with rapamycin were the most effective in protection of NKE cells. A metformin + rapamycin combination was moderately protective. Studies indicated that rapamycin may increase the durability of arrest by Nutlin-3a and improve the reversibility of arrest.
Findings of Note: Recent studies involving Nutlin-3 administration in mice have shown that protection in culture is applicable in vivo. The combination of metformin and rapamycin (in addition to having protective effects against mitotic inhibitors for normal cells) was toxic by itself to MDA-MB-231 cancer cells due to reduction in glucose levels, as cancer cells display a glycolytic phenotype that requires glucose.
Author's Conclusion: Nutlin-3a, nutlin-3a plus rapamycin, and rapamycin plus metformin may improve the duration and success of chemotherapy involving mitotic inhibitors. Low concentrations of rapamycin and metformin combined with fasting are recommended for current use prior to chemotherapy treatments for increased effectiveness. (Nutlin-3a is not yet approved for clinical use.)
Reviewer's Comments: This paper was an excellent example of various research findings being combined to develop improved treatment methods. Study of the cell cycle and development of reversible cell-arresting drugs, identification of differences in surface marker expression and pathway function in normal and cancer cells, and an understanding of the effects of low glucose conditions on cancer cells enabled successful preliminary tests of improved therapeutic treatments.

It has been a long time since my last trip to DC. I really didn't have any expectations when I went, since I have been "stuck" as you all know from reading my posts (you have been reading my posts haven't you??!!!) for a very long time. I had no clue what the game plan was going to be during my visit. No expectations is a good thing though, as you aren't really going to leave your appointment with any feelings of disappointment or discouragement.
Friday was a very long day. In order to save money, Dave and I fly out of Boston in the morning, go to my appointment, and fly right back, then drive back home. Navigating through the airport is pretty tough, especially having our taxi drop us off at the wrong side of the airport. I certainly got my exercise in for the day. I did a lot better than my recent trip to Walmart however, as the lights aren't nearly as bad, and there isn't any weird toxic smells.
I was hoping for good weather, since it had just snowed again here in New Hampshire, and was happy that although it was suppose to rain, it would be 80 degrees out. YES! But, of course the weatherman lied and it was in the 50's. That bastard. At least during our little walk to the doctors office it wasn't pouring rain.
I left my appointment feeling like I was in a good place. We went through my notes about how I have been feeling, the plans of the implanted heart monitor, and my Lupron injection. I was very happy that my doctor was on board with everything, which was one of my worries. That is one big downfall of being treated by an army. One doctor says one thing, another says something completely different. Phew. We are all on the same page.
My LLMD's belief about my heart issue is that it is possibly dysautonomia, or POTS. I did my standard mini check up, and my blood pressure was low. I have known in the past for my blood pressure to occasionally be low, but apparently I have more of a history of it being low. He gave me a prescription of midodrine, instead of the prescription that my general practitioner gave me, in hopes it will help with my feet and raise my blood pressure a bit. His thought is that I might actually get dizzier and more lightheaded with the general practitioner's medication choice. From a Lyme standpoint, I take my LLMD's opinion more heavily, so that is what I will take, and see if there is any improvement.
It was requested that I get a blood pressure cuff to keep track of it, and I will have to get on the ball to pick one up. I just dropped off my 18,000 (I may be exaggerating a bit) at the pharmacy and of course forgot, even though they are right in the front of the store in plain sight. Lyme brain.
This new medication will also help with my feet issues, with them being so blue with poor circulation. He explained to me when I get up and stand, the blood is still all pooled in my feet and not circulating around, so that will make my blood pressure lower and I will be symptomatic or have an arrhythmia. I suppose that makes sense.
My liver and spleen are now more enlarged than last time, and he thinks that Babesia is the culprit. I am on the maximum protocol he gives, and with just a teensy bit of tweaking, I will remain on the same treatment, in hopes that the Babesia will clear, my liver and spleen will go back to normal, and I will feel better. Same as always, I am still having a lot of neurological issues. That was a given.
I was kind of bummed that because my liver and spleen are enlarged, I cannot do a phone conference with my next appointment. It is really nice to save the money on travel. It will be summertime when I go back, and I am hoping that I will see big improvements over the next several months and be able to do some exploring while I am down there.
The next few months will basically be trial and error seeing if anything shows up on the heart monitor, how I react to the new medication, and if I can continue to kill those little buggers.
The LLMD believes that what happened with my Babesia relapse is that my tissues and brain were never healed to begin with when I had done nearly a year of Babesia treatment, and when I stopped the infection reactivated, and alongside my Lactoferrin and Xylitol protocol, everything went loose, and that is why everything came back and I had such a strong relapse.
He left me feeling good, that I was truly heard, and I am really hoping that all my ducks will be in a row, and things will fall into place. Being "stuck" is really getting old. I am sure there are a lot of you out there that are in the same boat.
My advice to you is to seek others opinions (you don't even need to use that "L" word that so many doctors disagree with), and try to pinpoint symptoms. Seek out anyone really. Listen to another LLMD, an LLND, your GP, cardiologist, gynecologist, neurologist…. Sometimes it takes a fresh set of eyes to review your medical history and symptoms. This theory of mine seems to have been one of the best decisions I have made as I feel I am a step closer to getting this long, drawn out puzzle solved.
Wishing you all a good weekend!
Oh! Almost forgot my classic thumbs up pose at the Doctor's office!

Left for the Navy 3 days after graduation where I spent 10.5 years.
Met my beautiful wife shortly after arriving to Groton CT. As you have read above, we have 3 children. We brought a wonderful woman into our lives in 2009. Her name is Jennifer Paiotti.
My travels have taken me all over the world but the places I have lived are: Groton, CT; Meridian, MS; Groton, CT (again); Mare Island, CA; Washington, DC; Norfolk, VA; Erlanger, KY,
Moved back to Kentucky after the attack on the Pentagon where I lost a number of my friends and decided that I wanted my children to grow up in a more family oriented atmosphere.
I am an Business Intelligence Analyst for UC Health Care.
Hobbies are: Long distance motorcycle rides, scuba diving, and student. Yes, I am still in school with multiple degrees. I love reading and learning.
I, like everyone else, did some stupid stuff in my time. Mailbox baseball was one our most ignorant pastimes. A fun one was the field parties in Rineyville.
There was also my time with Carmen Hall (class of 90). Carmen and I dated for a few years and were close through the first part of my senior year. Of course, I screwed that up. What boy didn't mess up a relationship in high school?
My junior year, there was a realignment of school lines and we lost some people to Central Hardin.
Living in Vine Grove, I remember when someone took their vehicle and tore up the golf course. Don't remember who it was but remember it was someone from school.
I would have to say it was Mrs. Shaw and Mr. Oliver.

Hey !! My name is Dibyajyoti Bordoloi and I am OBSESSED with teaching digital entrepreneurs and bloggers how to make their passions profitable.
I am the mind behind TetouanWeb. I am a really simple guy who loves to simplify complex stuff.
I recognize the endless frustrations that people face every day on the blog and website. My mission is to make you and the rest of the Community of Bloggers a happier and more productive bunch. TetouanWeb is part of a movement to liberate every human being from the 9 to 5 job. My motivation is to keep you happy and help you succeed in your blogging career.
If you have never blogged before don't mistake it with just another thing.
I created my first website in 2013 and turned pro in 2017. I have over 6 years' experience not only building websites but teaching non-coder graphic designers like yourself how to do it the right way.
I started blogging out of my passions for learning and sharing. In 2013, I got to know about blogs & I started my first blog named "Finamall" in 2013 which was a finance blog on the Blogspot platform. It was a trial blog on the Blogspot platform and I had to close it in 2014. Then I started another blog WPWhisper.I started me another dream blog SarkariJobTimes and TetouanWeb. And it took me about four long years from then to start TetouanWeb and turned pro in 2017.
I completed my primary education at Sankardev Sishu Niketan, Tezpur. I received my bachelor's degree from Guwahati University, Assam(India).
After graduation I was jobless and I started a poultry farm (Broiler Farm) in the backyard of my house. Starting my own business for the first time in my life was a beautiful adventure. It was an awesome feeling to become an independent guy. But poultry farming often left me feeling under-utilized, creatively stifled and underpaid. I was isolated, I was alone and truly, I was miserable.
Since then, my poultry business was closed up shop because I've moved on to online education – teaching aspiring entrepreneurs how to start and grow their own business.
So, with the previous experience of blogging, I started my other blog TetouanWeb in hopes of starting an online community. With the blessings of soft-hearted people like you, my new blog is growing steadily.
I really love to work online. It's my passion and I really enjoy it. Blogging has given me so much more than money. I currently live a free lifestyle where I travel and blog from anywhere and everywhere.
For sharing my favorite things with the world, I found blogging to be a great medium. Initially, I started writing random stuff, however, in a while, I discovered the way to create cash blogging.
I discovered "The Way" to become my very own boss through the facility of the web. This was when I started sharing those things that worked for me.
That's how TetouanWeb was born.
My job isn't done until you're happy. I am responsible for the overall vision and direction of TetouanWeb. I ensure that TetouanWeb is built on a solid foundation. I focus on quality content as well as other aspects of blogging and help readers in various other areas as needed.

Finding a good place to eat in Murano can be tricky as this popular island in the Venice lagoon has many touristic restaurants and it is easy to end up eating overpriced, low quality food in a tourist trap establishment. Not to worry! Murano is a very old historic place of significance to the ancient and modern life of Venice, and there are indeed nice places to eat where you can avoid the crowds and eat well. We've got you covered with our Local list of where to eat on Murano Island.
Venice can be a difficult city to navigate. Get where you need to go stress-free – schedule a Prontopia local assistant to help you today!
Trattoria Busa alla Torre da Lele (Campo Santo Stefano, 3)
Trattoria Busa alla Torre is one of the oldest restaurants in Murano, enlivened by its passionate owner, Lele. It is located near the cozy Campo Santo Stefano, just on the side of the church. For dining during the summer, there is a charming courtyard outside. Busa alla Torre has simple yet delicious dishes based on seasonal and regional seafood. The service is friendly and familiar service thanks to Lele. The chalkboard is updated daily with fresh specials. Best to try: fried moeche (fried soft shell crabs), tagliatelle with canocie (a local type of shrimp), or mix fried of scampi and calamari.
Trattoria Ai Frati (Fondamenta Venier, 4)
Set near the Ponte Lungo, Trattoria ai Frati offers a classic atmosphere with a traditional seafood cuisine and familiar hospitality as the place has been open since the 50s.

In fact, here you might find the glassblowers of the island taking a break to eat lunch! This is always great in terms of comparison for quality and prices, especially in Venice and more especially in Murano Island. They serve very simple but authentic dishes here, where you can taste some typical baccala' mantecato (cream of stockfish, typical from Venice) and be delighted by the owner's hospitality, along with classic frittura mista (mixed fried fish) or spaghetti alle vongole (spaghetti with clams).

School is hard. Ok, not necessarily hard, but definitely time consuming. I've spent the better part of two hours doing French homework today. I still have about another hour's worth to finish before work tomorrow. But, I enjoy it. At least so far. I have 15 pages to read for my English class, and then an introductory post, also due before I leave for work tomorrow.
But, I still found time to finish 'The Wise Man's Fear', and you'll see that my "What I'm Reading" page has been updated. The ending was WAY more of a cliff hanger than I was anticipating. Rothfuss basically threw a nugget of information at us, with no real explanation, and then ended the book. Now I have to wait for the third book to release, which hasn't even been announced yet.
I finished reading the book about an hour ago, and I'm already antsy to decide on what to read next. So, in a fit of anxiety, I finally put together a list for the No-Name Book Club. I'm starting low, and with shorter titles.
- Stupid and Contagious by Caprice Crane
- Stardust by Neil Gaiman
- Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson
- Ready Player One by Ernest Cline
- Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café by Fannie Flagg
We have our preliminary meeting this Wednesday, where we'll discuss the book list, meeting dates, and decide which book we should start with. I'm pretty excited, and thanks to my English class, there's no shortage of reading material in my future.
My writing, on the other hand, hasn't fared too well. Chapter 5 is putting up a fight, and I'm not putting up much effort. But, I figured that school starting up would be a road block, just like any other change in my routine. And as important as my fiction is, I need to be focused on school. So, I'm going to take it easy on myself and get used to this new schedule, and then I'll start peppering writing time back in.
Which reminds me. I volunteered to be a part of a really cool project called Caladria. It's a fictional world with a group of writers telling its tales. That's about all I know for now, but once I have more details, I'll be chatting it up here.
Anyway, I need to get cracking on this remaining French homework before I crash for the night.
I'll see you around, Blogland.

Carter, who served on the Johnson City Commission from 1993-95 and as mayor until 1997, first got heavily involved in politics as an activist for environmental justice before entering the arena of city government.
Two ordinances that will loosen Erwin's laws on alcohol passed their second reading at the town's Board of Mayor and Aldermen meeting amidst pushback from members of the community who came to speak against passing the ordinances.
The funds are part of $14.2 million award of State Revolving Fund loans for water and wastewater infrastructure improvements in Tennessee communities announced on Wednesday by Gov. Bill Haslam and TDEC Commissioner Bob Martineau.
UNICOI — After several months of standing-room-only crowds and sometimes heated discussions at meetings of the town of Unicoi Board of Mayor and Aldermen, there were seats available and apparent harmony at Monday night's meeting of the board.
Unicoi County commissioners have begun a search for property suitable for construction of a county-owned ambulance station.
ERWIN - The Unicoi County Commission Monday tabled pending action on a long-running series of violations of its ambulance service contract with MedicOne Medical Response Services in light of a series of actions taken over the past two weeks to meet the terms of the contract.
It's been nearly 50 years since the town of Erwin adopted its Major Thoroughfare Plan, a state-mandated map of of the town's street designations that predates the construction of Interstate 26. A revision of the plan as well as an update of the Erwin zoning regulations could come as early as April.
UNICOI - The Unicoi Board of Mayor and Aldermen on Monday authorized a more than $900,000 in capital outlay note for town projects after a long and sometimes contentious debate of a financing resolution Alderwoman Kathy Bullen said opens the door for a town property tax.
The Unicoi County Ambulance Task Force met Tuesday for what was expected to be an update from MedicOne Medical Repsonse owner Jim Reeves on progress being made toward fulfillment of the company's contract obligations to the county. Instead they received news that Reeves was unable to attend and MedicOne's ability to fulfill its contract is more limited now than it was when he last addressed the task force in November.
ERWIN - Restoration of the town of Erwin's 95-year-old Elm Street School building has cleared another hurdle.
Longtime Erwin Alderwoman Sue Jean Wilson died unexpectedly Monday from what appeared to be massive heart attack.
ERWIN - Unicoi County Mayor Greg Lynch on Monday gave the County Commission notice that emergency repairs to the jail's sewer and water lines may exceed the $10,000 threshold that may require bidding for contracts.
ERWIN — Work is progressing to replace the crumbling sewer line that cleared out the Unicoi County Jail earlier this week.
ERWIN — Unicoi County Sheriff Mike Hensley will not sue Unicoi County for funding to run his department in the coming fiscal year.
UNICOI — The Unicoi Board of Mayor and Aldermen on Monday unanimously approved a $684,935 bid submitted by Armstrong Construction of Kingsport for final-phase construction of the town's Mountain Harvest community kitchen and agri-business

Six years after the passing of Alex Hall, a runner and a popular member of the BRT (Bexhill Runners and Triathletes) who had a heart attack while running on the promenade, a fund set up in his memory continues to make a positive impact in Bexhill.
Every year, the Alex Hall Memorial Fund 5K takes place along Bexhill seafront, as well as shorter races for children. In the 2018 edition, over 100 ran. An amazing achievement for an event which had under 30 participants in its inaugural year.
However, the race isn't the only fundraiser. Every year Alex's son, Alexander, organises a day at Thorney Park Golf Club on what would've been his father's birthday.
The fund's main goal is to encourage children in the area to take part in sport while working closely with BRT. The clubs junior kit is sponsored by the fund and allows them to purchase it for just £5.
It has also provided the seafront with multiple defibrillators, a piece of equipment that might have helped Alex on the day he died.
However, those aren't the only landmarks which serve as a reminder of Alex on the front. A flagpole takes on a certain significance to members of BRT as it marks the spot where the tragedy occurred. Dave Oxbrow, who was good friend of Alex and was with him at the time of his death, uses the landmark as a point of reflection.
You can find out more about the Alex Hall memorial fund here; https://www.facebook.com/AlexHall.mf/
