Grey's Anatomy Review: It's All About ProtocolNicole Golden at .
"This Is How We Do It" started out slowly but ended in true Grey's Anatomy fashion.
Jackson and Lexie became more serious, and Lexie told Mark that she is seeing someone else. He figured out it is Jackson at the end of the episode. Do you think that there will be some drama between Mark and Jackson in the next episode?
Can Lexie and Jackson ever have anything more than a physical relationship?
Alex moved into a trailer in the parking lot to gain an advantage in the race for chief resident. The residents are all competing to get on the Chief's new trial, but the Chief decided that Owen will choose the chief resident.
When Cristina found out, she realized that he could not pick her. Clearly, these events will cause some tension in Owen and Cristina's marriage. Do you think they can weather the storm? And why would the Chief put Owen in charge? Finally, who do you think will actually win the position?
Adele tested positive for early onset Alzheimer's disease but was in denial. The Chief was desperate to get her into Derek's trial. Derek would not pull Adele off the waitlist and compromise his whole trial. Derek and Meredith had a new trial patient who dropped out so that her son could be with his boyfriend, thus sacrificing her chance at a medical miracle.
When the patient dropped out, Adele was given the trial test but passed by one point. The Chief explained to her that she has Alzheimer's but just has not progressed enough yet.
Adele got extremely upset and broke down in front of Derek and Meredith. Do you think Derek will find a way to include Adele in the trial despite the fact that she passed the test? Do you think that the Chief will be able to handle his wife's decline after everything he has been through?
Callie was extremely excited for her baby shower. (We still don't know if the baby is a boy or girl. Any guesses?) Mark and Arizona fought over what activities to have at the shower, and Arizona became annoyed when Mark seemed to know Callie better than she did.
Do you think that Arizona will ever stop being jealous of Mark and Callie's close relationship? Do you think Mark will ever give Arizona and Callie a chance to strengthen their relationship without his interference?
Nurse Eli and Bailey got into a fight about their roles in the hospital while treating a patient. Later, they made up outside when Eli said that he gets to be the man in the relationship when they are not in the hospital. Do you think Bailey was right to get annoyed with Eli? Will they last when they have yet to conquer their power struggle?
The Chief performed an experimental surgery for his new diabetes trial before receiving permission from the FDA. The surgery was successful, and then the FDA granted the waiver. Do you think that the Chief did the right thing? Who do you think he will select to work with him on the new clinical trial?
April was still dating Stark but ended up cancelling their date when everyone teased her and said she was bound to lose her virginity to him. Stark admited that he never wanted to just be friends and seemed sad when April told him that was all she wanted. At the end of the episode, April watched the movie that she and Stark were supposed to view together alone on her couch. Do you think she actually has feelings for Stark? Do you like him more now that he seems to be a real human being?
Lucy asked Meredith about Alex, and Meredith explained what he had gone through in the past couple of years. Upon hearing how complex Alex is, Lucy ended up sharing a beer with him on his trailer stoop. She then kissed him. Can Alex and Lucy be a successful couple on the show?
Henry was brought into the hospital with chest pain. Teddy seemed concerned and stayed on the case. When on medication, Henry admitted that he wanted to be with Teddy. The Chief heard the whole admission. Teddy told the Chief she did not have feelings for Henry, but the Chief still had Cristina perform the operation on the mass near Henry's heart.
Henry began to crash in the OR, and Cristina told Teddy to stop acting like a scared wife. After the surgery, Henry again admitted to Teddy that he had feelings for her.
She told him it would just be a good story if they worked out but that she did not feel the same way about him. Do you think that Teddy made the right decision or should she give Henry a chance? He seems to genuinely care about her.
Callie decided to take Arizona to a bed and breakfast for the weekend. When Mark texted Callie during the drive, Arizona got angry and told Callie not to contact him because it was their weekend alone together. The episode ended with Arizona proposing to Callie before they got into a serious car accident.
First of all, do you think that Callie will accept the proposal? Do you think the baby will be okay? Also, how do you feel about such a tragic event leading into the musical episode of Grey's Anatomy? Leave your comments and discuss below.
Some of the best Grey's Anatomy quotes from this week ...
Bailey: Stalking a man while he's in the restroom.
Avery: I'd clean the restroom if he'd let me on his trial.
Cristina: I'd live in it. | permalink
Henry: You're my wife—my hot wife. | permalink
Henry: I've been thinking lately, and I think...um...I think I've figured it out...why all of your dates go so bad, so, so bad, laughably bad, and it's not your fault—it's mine because I'm not the guy on them with you. | permalink
Meredith: I can't get over the fact that you know what onesie-decorating is.
Mark: I've been boning up. That's what you do for the people you love.
Arizona: Oh, bite me, Mark. | permalink
Meredith: Renegades, rule-breakers, gangsters with scalpels. This is the way we like to think of ourselves. It makes us feel badass, sexy. Problem is it's not exactly true. At heart, we're rule followers, sheep. We don't break protocol. We follow it to a "T." Because if we don't follow protocol, our patients die, and then we're no longer badass. We're just bad. | permalink
Alex: You're gonna screw your way to the top. I'm impressed. | permalink
April: I am not taking my pants off for Stark. | permalink
Cristina: Oh, screw beautiful. I'm brilliant. If you want to appease me, compliment my brain. | permalink
Lucy: So this Karev guy. You're actually friends with him? That's real? | permalink
Meredith (about Alex) : You're missing a lot. He had a girl go crazy on him. His wife almost died and then she walked out on him. And then he was shot and almost bled to death in an elevator. He's been through a lot. So the Neanderthal thing is just—it is an act. Well-executed one. | permalink
Arizona: You're not the Callie whisperer. And I'm not a monster for finding baby showers annoying. Everyone woman who's ever had a pregnant friend hates them. It's like a wedding—the bridesmaids always want to strangle the bride. It's practically a rule. The only one who's not normal here is you for acting like you're enjoying this. | permalink
Stark: But that's the thing, you know. I never wanted to be just your friend. | permalink
Adele: Don't look at me like that...like I'm damaged good. I'm still me. I'm still here. | permalink
Eli: Inside the hospital you're the man. That's the protocol, but outside I'm the man. I am the man. Me. Now you can call me cro magnon or old fashion, but that's not going to stop me from taking you home to my bed tonight and showing you what kind of man I am. Now how's that? Does that protocol suit you? | permalink
Arizona: I mean he gets most of you. The straight you, the Catholic you, the girl who loves baby showers. I just get, you know, the gay you, which is really only about twenty minutes a night... | permalink
Meredith: It's every doctor's dilemma. Do you play it safe and follow protocol? Or take a risk and invent a new one? There can be reward in risk. There can also be fallout. Still you need to book the system every once in a while. Bet big. And when you get the results you want, there's no better feeling in the world, but when you don't... | permalink

Solo cups, the Toronto thug life, wolves and a tear-jerker: Here is a sampling of music videos floating around today, from Jason Mraz, The Drums, Lil Jon, Tyga and Atmosphere. Check out Skrillex's new video for "Bangarang," too, posted here.
Jason Mraz' "I Won't Give Up" is the stuff of United Way and SPCA commercials, and the video in the same vein as the Boss' "We Take Care of Our Own." You're supposed to want to cry, you big lug:
The clip was directed by Mark Pellington — who's worked with heavy-hitters and song-makers like Nine Inch Nails, Foo Fighters, U2 and Bruce Springsteen himself. It's the first single from Mraz' "Love Is a Four Letter Word," due April 17.
I'm not generally a Drums fan — there's a lot there I've heard before, and done with a better vocalist — but this psych-poppy number "Days" is like brain-gum in how hard it sticks. Check out their subject, who puts on some eyelashes along the way, plays some keys and then he was a she:
The cut's from the band's "Portamento," released in the fall last year. They made their late night TV debut on "Fallon" just this week.
If you like wolves, and songs about wolves, or "Hungry Like the Wolf," then we have a pretty easy one for you. Atmosphere's astoundingly elementary fable-narrative about his dog-slash-ex-girlfriend in "Became" is pretty, at the very least:
Atmosphere – Became from MSB Richfield Creative Media on Vimeo.
"From October 2011 to January 2012 a music video was collaboratively made for the song "Became" by Atmosphere. The goal was to create an engaging educational experience with students as the focal point," reads a description of the clip. It "became" a collaborative effort between students and professionals at the Minnesota School of Business, MTS Digital Media Academy, Alex Horner Pictures and Hickey Photography.
The cut is from Atmosphere's 2011 album "The Family Sign."
Tyga's "Rack City" may still have your head spinning, but his new music video for "In This Thing," literally, may hurt your head even more:
Ah, the evergreen pleasures of getting crushed like a Solo cup. The track is from the Young Money rapper's current mixtape "#BitchImTheShit," which may take the cake when it comes to the inane hashtag-as-title trend. I hope you hear me, will.i.am.
Speaking of getting crunk, here's the King of Crunk, Lil Jon on "Drink," which is a near carbon-copy of "Shots," only featuring LMFAO and the elderly folks doing hilariously un-elderly things:
"The director [Ballard C. Boyd] had the conception for a bunch of old people wailing out and I said, 'That"s cool but disgusting at the same time," but I don"t think it is as bad as it could be," Lil Jon told The Huffington Post. "I think it makes them seem cool as hell."
And if you thought Skrillex's lost boys in "Bangarang" were thug life, check out the rough streets of… Toronto, in K'Naan and Nas' "Nothing to Lose":
The track's from K'Naan's EP "More Beautiful Than Silence," out now.

Players may be loosely classified according to rating by the following scheme:
The program is designed to give a rating for each player that takes into account performance and the strength (or otherwise) of partners and opponents. The rating is calculated on a tournament-by-tournament basis, and it should be appreciated that the program is a RATINGS system, and not a RANKING system. Earlier algorithms (dating back to the mid-1980's) were fairly successful, but anomalous results would arise in certain cases. The ideal program needs to be flexible enough to cope sensibly with tournaments that have:
The key parameters calculated each tournament for each player are:
The adjustment to a player's rating each tournament takes into account:
It can be seen that an average ratings points difference between pairs of:
The second step in the program is to calculate the estimated uncertainty in the tournament rating. This has two contributions. One is due to the finite number of games played - effectively each game can be treated as being an independent "measurement" of tournament rating. The second contribution is due to the uncertainties in rating of partner and opponents. These factors can be estimated by appropriate statistical analysis.
At this stage OLDRATING and OLDERROR are known, and the TMTRATING and TMTERROR are known. The new rating is calculated as the best average of two Normally distributed observations with these properties. This is the average of the OLDRATING and TMTRATING weighted by the reciprocal of the square of the uncertainty in these values. The uncertainty (NEWERROR) in the rating is calculated in a similar manner, but the minimum uncertainty is set at 70 rating points.
If a calculated rating becomes less than that of a "nominal beginner" (1500 rating points), then a small adjustment to it is made to ensure that the rating never becomes significantly less than a beginner. A lower rating limit of 1320 is chosen. There are no players worse than 1320. An additional small increase in the uncertainty of a player's rating is also made for these players, to allow for the fact that experience shows that people of this quality can show rapid sudden improvements (e.g. if they start practising).
Any player not competing in a tournament for over a year is removed from the published ratings. When they next play in a tournament, they will re-enter the ratings at a starting point adjusted slightly from their last rating. Players lapsing with ratings higher than 1500 have their rating adjusted towards 1500 by 15% of the difference (to allow for being "out of practice"), while those with ratings less than 1500 have their ratings adjusted upwards towards 1500 by a factor of 50%.

It was risky thing to do in a business where most drugs fail in clinical trials, but it raised about $180 million on early data to support this idea back in March, and now more and more public data is rolling in to buttress the argument.
The South San Francisco-based biotech company has shown off results over the past several days from a trial that enrolled 490 patients with nine different tumor types, to see where cabozantinib (XL184) might work best. The latest batch of data for this drug, from 171 patients with prostate cancer, is being presented to doctors today at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) meeting in Chicago.
Exelixis has taken an unusual tack in the prostate cancer drug business, where drugs are primarily judged on whether they can help men live longer. In this early trial, Exelixis has focused on how its drug was able to partially or completely wipe out bone lesions for about three-quarters (82 of 108) patients whose prostate cancer had spread to the bones. Prostate cancer is notorious for migrating into bones and essentially splintering them from the inside out, causing intense pain and helping send many patients into a death spiral. About 30,000 men in the U.S. die of prostate cancer each year, and while promising advances have been made recently by Dendreon's sipuleucel-T (Provenge) and Johnson & Johnson's abiraterone (Zytiga), neither drug has primarily focused on an ability to preserve bones.
"For the first time, we have enough patients on the drug, long enough, to say, 'Wow, cabo resolves bone scans for almost 80 percent of patients, and you can see clinical benefit,'" says Exelixis CEO Mike Morrissey. "We have a lot of support from investigators, especially in prostate cancer. When metastatic prostate cancer goes to the bone, it drives pain, complications, fractures, spinal cord compression, anemia. Everything combined really puts the patient in a bad place. We have investigators who doing this for several decades who have never seen this level of activity in the bone. They are incredibly enthusiastic."
The drug, pronounced "CAH-bo" like the resort town in Baja California, is a daily pill designed to specifically block two biological targets thought to help cancer grow and spread -- MET and VEGFR2. These targets are implicated in a number of forms of cancer, and since Exelixis didn't know the best possible use for sure, it designed the trial to enroll patients with nine different tumor types, see how the drug performed in a few patients from each group. Then it enrolled many more patients with malignancies that appeared most susceptible to the new drug.
Based on this study, prostate and ovarian cancer have emerged as the two settings in which Exelixis has seen the most interesting results, Morrissey says. Small-cell lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, stomach cancer provided less convincing evidence, Exelixis said.
In the group of prostate cancer patients, researchers found that if they took the Exelixis drug and it got rid of their bone lesions, it helped improve their overall clinical outlook compared to those who didn't see an improvement in bone lesions. Researchers, at six months of follow up, found patients who had improved bone scans were much more likely to have their tumors remain in check (61 percent to 35 percent), to have pain relief (83 percent to 43 percent), and to reduce or eliminate dependence on narcotic painkillers (68 percent to 33 percent), Exelixis said.
Once patients' tumors progressed, there was an opportunity for them to go into another phase of the study in which they were randomly assigned to get another round of the Exelixis drug or a placebo. At that point, researchers found that patients' tumors were kept in check for a median time of 21 weeks on the Exelixis drug, compared with about six weeks for the placebo. The overall number of patients in this group (31) is small, but the difference was statistically significant, and the Exelixis drug was shown to offer an 87 percent reduction in risk of a patient's disease spreading.
There were significant side effects reported with this treatment, which doctors will surely be scrutinizing at ASCO. Fatigue (16 percent), high blood pressure (6 percent), a tenderness/peeling of skin known as hand-foot syndrome (6 percent), decreased appetite (5 percent), nausea (4 percent), and vomiting (4 percent) were the most common moderate to severe side effects reported. One patient on the drug died from unexplained causes at Week 33 in the study, according to an Exelixis statement. About half (51 percent) of patients had to reduce the dose at least one time, Exelixis said.
The safety profile of the drug, Morrissey says, was consistent with prior studies, and consistent with other drugs in its class. There was "nothing overall surprising," he says.
Still, the unexplained death is bound to raise at least a few questions at the ASCO conference. Earlier in the weekend, Exelixis presented data from 70 patients on the treatment for their ovarian cancer, and found that 73 percent had at least some tumor shrinkage, and 24 percent had what is considered significant shrinkage of their tumors. Researchers don't yet have data to report on whether the drug keeps tumors from spreading for a meaningful length of time, or whether it helps extend lives.
The side effect profile in these patients appeared similar to what was observed in prostate cancer patients, although two deaths in the ovarian cancer patients were reported by researchers as drug-related. One was characterized as an "enterocutaneous fistula," which the National Institutes of Health defines as an abnormal opening that allows the content of the stomach or the intestines to leak. The other patient who died had an intestinal perforation, Exelixis said.
Cory Kasimov, an analyst with JP Morgan who reviewed the ovarian cancer data, said yesterday in a note to clients that, "overall, cabo clearly looks like an active agent in this setting," but said it's hard to put the findings in context without a full report on survival times or the length of time tumors stay in check. He also noted the two deaths, "which has prompted some incoming questions."
David Miller, president of Biotech Stock Research, said the bone scan data "look great" in prostate cancer patients, especially when it's shown to be linked to better clinical outcomes, like less pain. But Exelixis did report six deaths out of the total database of 490 patients in the trial. The deaths of the patients "are always a concern," that need to be inquired about more, Miller said.
Exelixis will have more to say about all of this on a conference call with investors later today from Chicago, at 7 p.m. Eastern/6 p.m. Central/4 p.m. Pacific.

Oracle BAM 12c Security by Dan Atwood
March 9, 2018 Leave a comment
Oracle Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) 12c comes with Oracle SOA Suite and BPM, and it is a very powerful tool that should be used on most projects. Organizations are using it successfully today to graphically visualize trends in their data to make operational decisions and to send alerts before issues occur.
One of the difficulties organizations initially have after installing Oracle BAM 12c is determining how to define the security levels and permissions for its different types of users. Oracle BAM has both coarse grained security defined at the application role level down to very fine grained security defined at individual BAM artifact and data object row levels.
BAM Coarse Grained Security – BAM Application Roles
For many organizations today, different parts of the organization will each access and share the same BAM domain. For some, the coarse grained predefined BAM security groups and roles assignments will suffice. When left to the default coarse grained security, these three types of BAM users will exist:
- BAM Administrators in an organization are able to access and edit any data object, EMS, or projects that other teams have created
- BAM Designers in an organization can access and edit any BAM project and their queries, views, dashboards and alerts that other teams have created
- BAM End Users in an organization can view any dashboard as long as they know the URL for the dashboard. Read the complete article here.

Steeped in flavour as well as time-honoured tradition, this dreamy Christmas pudding will be the perfect conclusion to your festive feasting
Place the raisins, currants, sultanas, figs and 25g chopped mixed peel in a large bowl with the cinnamon, mixed spice, nutmeg, stout, Amaretto and orange zest and juice. Mix well, then cover and leave overnight in a cool place for the flavours to mature.
Heat the butter with 25g sugar in a pan until melted. Stir in the remaining 25g peel, the almonds, pecans and cherries, and arrange in the bottom of a greased 1.2 litre pudding basin.
Stir the suet, eggs, flour, breadcrumbs and remaining 225g sugar into the bowl of soaked dried fruit and mix well. Tip into the pudding basin and pack down tightly.
Prepare a large steamer or, alternatively, place a trivet or inverted heatproof plate in a large lidded pan. Cut 2 x 70cm lengths of baking parchment and a piece of extra wide foil (turkey foil is ideal). Place the baking parchment lengths on top of the foil, and place the pudding basin in the centre of the parchment. Wrap the pudding, with the foil on the outside. Secure with kitchen string, making a loop for easy removal.
Place the pudding in the steamer or pan. Add boiling water, filling to halfway up the sides of the basin. Cover and steam for 6 hours, topping up the water regularly.
Remove the pudding from the steamer and discard the foil and parchment. Allow to cool, then rewrap in baking parchment and foil, and store in a cool place for up to 2 months.
To reheat, steam for 2 hours, or remove the foil and microwave for 5 minutes.

Ever since news broke of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's relationship came out, we have been wondering how a few certain people feel.
The Queen for one, Prince Charles for another, and Kate Middleton, more than anyone. Think about it.
How would you feel if your husband's younger brother brought home one of the sexiest TV actresses of our generation.
Are you supportive? Excited? Fangirl-ing even?
I mean, if you're Kate Middleton, you wouldn't be THAT worried… or would you?!
Apparently not.
New Zealand's Woman's Day claim a royal source told them that: 'Kate is thrilled that Harry has finally found a girlfriend who looks like being a keeper.'
They added: 'She only wants the very best for her lovely brother-in-law – and Meghan looks like she fits the bill.'
Even nicer still, it's reported the Duchess is doing 'all she can to support Meghan' as she eases into a her royal relationship.

An electric vehicle has the capability to considerably diminish greenhouse gas releases and pollution. A commercial vehicle is designed, maintained or used for the transportation of property or person. The various types of commercial vehicles are buses, trucks, vans and pick-up trucks. The global electric commercial vehicle market is growing at a significant rate, due to mounting alarm about environmental pollution and government assistance for electric commercial vehicles. The market has witnessed a high demand for the electric bus due to speedy economic growth and promising government guidelines to limit emission.
Acceptance of electrification, decreasing battery price, speedy acceptance of electric vehicle such as buses and van, government assistance for electric vehicles and requirement for fuel effectual vehicles are the primary growth drivers for electric commercial vehicle market.

Cosmetic Dentistry in Northeast Heights NM
Have you ever wanted to improve the appearance of your smile? It's natural in today's highly connected world to want to look and feel your best. For many patients, having a beautiful smile seems out of reach, but you might be surprised to learn that today's dental technology offers a wide range of options for every budget and lifestyle.
Cosmetic Dentistry Evaluation
We welcome open communication from our patients and will strive to meet your goals for your health and appearance. Dr. Lindsay Essenmacher invites you to our Northeast Heights, NM dental office for a comprehensive dental exam followed by a consultation to discuss options that will give you the smile of your dreams.
From simple procedures such as professional teeth whitening and cosmetic dental bonding to complex treatment plans that include veneers, porcelain crowns, or a full smile makeover, at Essenmacher Family Dental, we offer the full range of cosmetic treatment options.
Professional Teeth Whitening
Perhaps you have tried an over-the-counter teeth whitening product. If so, you have probably had mixed results. Over-the-counter products can be unpredictable and difficult to use. Custom whitening systems, like the one we offer in our dental office, provide fewer side effects and exceptional results.
We begin by taking impressions of your teeth. Using those impressions, we create custom whitening trays for you to use at home. We give you enough professional strength whitening gel to help you achieve an 8–10 shade improvement and give you personalized instructions to help you avoid side effects such as sensitivity.
Teeth whitening is always more effective under the supervision of a dentist. Additionally, you will keep your trays for future touch-ups so that your smile always looks its best.
Cosmetic Dental Bonding
If you have small flaws in your smile such as chips or gaps between your teeth, we may be able to improve your appearance with cosmetic dental bonding. Using the same composite material we use for fillings, we determine a matching shade and add to your existing tooth structure.
Because it is easy, affordable, non-invasive, and can be done in one visit, cosmetic dental bonding is great for patients wanting to make small changes to their teeth.
Porcelain Veneers
If you are looking to make dramatic changes to the appearance of your teeth, porcelain veneers may be an option for you. Veneers are thin porcelain shells that fit over your existing tooth structure to give you a whole new look. They even allow us to address misalignment concerns, making your teeth appear straight. Dr. Essenmacher will design the size, shape, and color of your veneers to look both natural and beautiful!
Smile Makeovers
If your smile shows signs of wear or if you have a number of concerns about the way you look, a full smile makeover can address a wide variety of cosmetic issues. Dr. Essenmacher will sit down with you and discuss your goals for your appearance. She can incorporate a wide variety of restorative and cosmetic options to give you the beautiful outcome you deserve.
Contact Our Dental Office in Northeast Heights, NM
Even if you are just considering cosmetic dentistry, we encourage you to contact our office. Dr. Essenmacher can provide a comprehensive exam for our patients prior to having work done, in order to offer the best guidance on their cosmetic options. Our friendly and professional team looks forward to working with you to achieve a comfortable, functional, and beautiful smile!

These features make Chipex the best option on the market for tackling road rash. Try it now!
Carmaker giant Toyota has produced a vast number of Toyota Pickups over the years. These range from the Toyota Kijang pickup, also known as the Toyota Tamaraw; the full-size Toyota Tundra Pickup, which was nominated for North American Truck of the Year; and the Toyota Hilux series of compact pickups.
One of the most common forms of vehicle deterioration, road rash is caused by stone chips that fly up off the road and strike the bodywork of cars, leaving paint scratches.
Chipex Toyota Pickup Touch up Paint is a bold new remedial treatment for stone chip damage.
Chipex repair kits boast a unique paint colour match guarantee, which means you get perfectly matching paint or your money back.
Clear instructions, all the accessories you need and ready-to-apply paint are standard inclusions.
The seamless results mean that a costly full respray is not required.
Chipex repairs cost much less than repairs by professional paint scratch repair companies.
The roads habitually spit grit and loose stone chips at the bodywork of cars, causing a spray of paint scratches to form. This is called road rash.
Chipex Pick Up Touch up Paint is the road rash repair solution you've been waiting for.
Traditional Touch-up Paint Can Not Achieve a Repair as Simple and Seamless as ThisBuy Now

A proteomic investigation of hepatic resistance to Ascaris in a murine model

he helminth Ascaris causes ascariasis in both humans and pigs. Humans, especially chil- dren, experience significant morbidity including respiratory complications, growth deficits and intestinal obstruction. Given that 800 million people worldwide are infected by Ascaris , this represents a significant global public health concern. The severity of the symptoms and associated morbidity are related to the parasite burden and not all hosts are infected equally. While the pathology of the disease has been extensively examined, our under- standing of the molecular mechanisms underlying resistance and susceptibility to this nem- atode infection is poor. In order to investigate host differences associated with heavy and light parasite burden, an experimental murine model was developed utilising Ascaris- sus- ceptible and -resistant mice strains, C57BL/6J and CBA/Ca, respectively, which experience differential burdens of migratory Ascaris larvae in the host lungs. Previous studies identified the liver as the site where this difference in susceptibility occurs. Using a label free quantita- tive proteomic approach, we analysed the hepatic proteomes of day four post infection C57BL/6J and CBA/Ca mice with and without Ascaris infection to identify proteins changes potentially linked to both resistance and susceptibility amongst the two strains, respectively. Over 3000 proteins were identified in total and clear intrinsic differences were elucidated between the two strains. These included a higher abundance of mitochondrial proteins, par- ticularly those associated with the oxidative phosphorylation pathway and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in the relatively resistant CBA/Ca mice. We hypothesise that the increased ROS levels associated with higher levels of mitochondrial activity results in a highly oxidative cellular environment that has a dramatic effect on the nematode ' s ability to successfully sustain a parasitic association with its resistant host. Under infection, both strains had increased abundances in proteins associated with the oxidative phosphorylation pathway, as well as the tricarboxylic acid cycle, with respect to their controls, indicating a general stress response to Ascaris infection. Despite the early stage of infection, some immune-associated proteins were identified to be differentially abundant, providing a novel insight into the host response to Ascaris . In general, the susceptible C57BL/6J mice dis- played higher abundances in immune-associated proteins, most likely signifying a more active nematode cohort with respect to their CBA/Ca counterparts. The complement...

Nicole Kidman played peekaboo at the 2017 CMT Music Awards in Nashville on Wednesday (June 7)
The 'Big Little Lies' actress perfectly encapsulated gothic romance in this Off-White Fall 2017 dress.
I'm not keen on the random cut-outs but I do love the exposed bra and sheer lace, which bring some allure to this look.
I do wish that Nicole's hair could have been swept up, or at least behind her shoulders, to emphasise the neckline of this dress better.
This is falling just the right side of witchy for me.

The Benefits of Treatment
Following your treatment plan helps lower your total cholesterol levels. Keeping your cholesterol in the recommended range can:
- reduce your risk for heart disease
- reduce your risk for stroke
- make you less likely to have a heart attack
- prevent further plaque buildup
- lower the bad LDL levels as well as trigylceride levels
- increase the good HDL levels
When you have high cholesterol, treatment makes all the difference to your health. Because you can't feel high cholesterol or its negative effects early on, some people resist following their treatment plan. They just can't believe something is really wrong with them. Because of that, they may not want to make the efforts to eat more healthfully and to exercise more. Your efforts are worthwhile. You may be able to control your cholesterol with changes to your diet and increased exercise. How effective these methods are depends on the causes of your high cholesterol and on your current levels. If these don't work by themselves, your doctor may need to add a medication that lowers cholesterol. If your doctor does prescribe medicine, take it exactly as you are told. Don't stop taking it without talking to your doctor.
Most people can achieve and maintain healthy cholesterol levels with the above measures. Your actions mean you are helping prevent more serious, painful, and life-threatening conditions, such as heart disease and stroke. You probably will need to continue treatment throughout your life. But, if you've discovered your problem early, each day that you follow your treatment is a day that you are avoiding serious complications and choosing a healthier future.
How Can I Know If Treatment Is Working?
Throughout your treatment, your doctor will check your blood cholesterol levels on a regular basis. At first, your doctor may check your cholesterol as often as every 4 to 8 weeks. Once you've achieved your target levels, your doctor may check your cholesterol every 4 to 6 months to make sure you're maintaining these levels. If you take a medicine to lower your cholesterol, your doctor may need to test your blood more often to check for side effects that the medicine can cause, such as liver problems.

It has been estimated that upwards of two percent of service members struggle with gambling issues. Two percent may not sound like much. However, when you consider that the military has about 2.5 million people on the rolls, that adds up to tens of thousands of troops whose daily lives are impacted by this particular addiction. If you factor in spouses, children, parents, siblings and other loved ones, the number of people affected by gambling is huge. Indeed, gambling does not occur in a vacuum.
Gambling is typically not an isolated condition. A major issue for military gamblers is the severe depression that often occurs along with it. Prior research on service members seeking treatment at military gambling treatment facilities found that between 20 and 50 percent had seriously considered suicide or had attempted suicide because of problems that arose because of their gambling. Often, the depression that accompanies a gambling problem is linked to work and relationship stress, feelings of hopelessness and financial strain. Anxiety also closely follows. The life disruption that follows gambling addiction often leads to chronic worry and stress as a well as panic attacks and substance use disorders.
The military views gambling as an addiction much like alcoholism and drug dependence. The official website of Gambler's Anonymous provides 20 questions for individuals to determine if they might have a gambling problem. The general guidance is that people with serious gambling problems will say yes to seven or more of the following questions.
If you believe your veteran client may be struggling with a gambling addiction, the first step is to have him or her answer the questions below. This process is the first step to helping them get the assistance they need.
Questions to Ask
Did you ever lose time from work or school because of gambling?
Has gambling ever made your home life unhappy?
Did gambling affect your reputation?
Have you ever felt remorse after gambling?
Did you ever gamble to get money with which to pay debts or otherwise solve financial difficulties?
Bottom of Form
Did gambling cause a decrease in your ambition or efficiency?
After losing did you feel you must return as soon as possible and win back your losses?
After a win, did you have a strong urge to return and win more?
Did you often gamble until your last dollar was gone?
Did you ever borrow to finance your gambling?
Have you ever sold anything to finance gambling?
Were you reluctant to use "gambling money" for normal expenditures?
Did gambling make you careless of the welfare of yourself or your family?
Did you ever gamble longer than you had planned?
Have you ever gambled to escape worry, trouble, boredom or loneliness?
Have you ever committed, or considered committing, an illegal act to finance gambling?
Did gambling cause you to have difficulty in sleeping?
Do arguments, disappointments or frustrations create within you an urge to gamble?
Did you ever have an urge to celebrate any good fortune by a few hours of gambling?
Have you ever considered self-destruction or suicide as a result of your gambling?
Again, as noted above, if you think that one of your veteran clients has a gambling problem, it is important to get them the help they need. Unlike formal programs for alcohol or drug problems, gambling programs are more difficult to find on military installations. In fact, they are more difficult to find for all types of clients. However, your local mental health clinic or chaplain at your local base or post can assist you in finding help for those patients who are on active duty and the VA can help with veterans You can also find national and state gambling hotline numbers on the Gambler's Anonymous website.

These fun pretzel treats are an easy way to serve grab-and-go desserts to guests at the holiday bash. Decorate the tops of the pretzel sticks with rice treats, icing, and candies for a fun holiday-themed effect.
How to Make It
Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Make trees: Trim long side of rice cereal treats to form triangles. Make an indent at flat end of each treat to insert a pretzel.
Dip tips of 4 pretzels into green melts; insert each into a rice cereal treat. Place on baking sheet; chill until set, 5 minutes. Dip a cereal treat into green melts to coat. Let excess drip off; place on baking sheet and chill 5 minutes. Dip remaining pretzels in pink melts to coat 3 inches of end. Transfer to baking sheet; chill 5 minutes.
Spoon melted white and dark cocoa melts into separate ziplock bags; seal bags. Snip small corners off bags. Pipe a drizzle of dark cocoa on each pretzel near base of tree. Pipe loops of white melts over trees; sprinkle with yellow sugar. Pipe dots of melted candy and attach M&M's Minis as lights. Press spice-drop stars on top of trees. Chill until set, about 5 minutes.
Make Santas: Use icing to attach a cut fruit slice at top of pretzel as hat. Pipe white melts; attach cut marshmallows as hat trim, beard and mustache. Attach mini chocolate chips as eyes; cut red M&M's Minis in half and attach as nose. Attach pink heart décors as mouth. Chill until set, 5 minutes.

Valentine's Day is the time of year to get that special someone in your life that romantic gift. Most people resort to the usual flowers or chocolate. However, this year how about thinking outside the Valentine's Day box and consider his or her teeth? Nothing spices up a night like fresh breath and glowing white teeth. So we came up with 5 Valentine's gift ideas for your loved one's teeth:
Custom made just to fit your mouth and it saves you time. It is proven to clean your mouth in just SIX seconds, giving more time to stay in bed. Speak to Bow lane on 020 7236 3600 about how to get a Blizzident toothbrush!
If you are going for Chocolate, think dark. The cocoa bean in chocolate has tannins, polyphenols and flavonoids, which are antioxidants that all benefit your mouth and teeth. They do this by preventing bacteria from sticking to your teeth, neutralizing the organisms that cause bad breath, preventing gum infections, and battling tooth decay. The antioxidants can also reduce inflammation in the body and work to prevent gum disease.
This does not happen with any chocolate, though, since the sugars added to some will offset all of these good effects. It is only dark chocolate which is the least processed and has the highest cocoa bean content that does all this good. So the higher the percentage, the better it is for your teeth. One of our favourites is from Paul Young , they do a beautiful 85% bar. Not only is it better for your teeth, but it may also improve your partners mood. Dark chocolate contains Theobromine, a chemical similar to caffeine.
Your toothbrush is one of the most personal objects you own; perhaps it needs a nicer home. Brad Turner has these gorgeous glass designs. Handmade from solid glass, each holder has a stable base that likes to stay put. They will think of you twice a day.
What better way to say you love them but a set of sparkly white teeth? We have teamed up with Colgate to bring you their professional whitening system that is only worn for 30 minutes once per day. After 3 days your partner will notice their teeth getting whiter and after ten days they are done. Call us on 020 7236 3600 and we can send a bespoke voucher within 30 minutes so perfect for last minute gift;).
Not only for fresh breath but healthy teeth as well. The London based team at Peppersmith have formulated these Xylitol mints to repair enamel damage caused by tooth erosion and they taste great! Read more about the benefits here.
Hopefully we have provided some inspiration. What better way to say I love you then helping your partner to keep a healthy sexy mouth.

Bypassing congress, Obama unveils latest jobs push for veterans
President Obama unveiled three executive actions Monday aimed at helping unemployed veterans secure private-sector employment, the White House's latest effort to bypass Congress with initiatives designed to spur economic growth.
Flanked by members of veterans associations in the Rose Garden, the president announced three new programs the White House says will reduce the time it takes a veteran to find a job. It's part of what the White has dubbed the "We Can't Wait" campaign – a series of moves Obama says he can initiate without congressional authorization.
"Just think about the skills these Veterans have acquired – often at a very young age," Obama said. "Think about the leadership they learned – the cutting edge technologies that they've mastered. Their ability to adapt to changing and unpredictable circumstances you can't just get from a classroom."
Among the new initiatives is a Veteran Gold Card which will provide post-9/11 service members with six months of personal career support, an online search tool which will suggest career paths tailored to a transitioning veteran's position in the service, and an online jobs bank launched with the support of the leading internet job search companies.
Meanwhile the president will also renew his call for Congress to enact tax credits to businesses that hire recent veterans. Those credits, which were part of the president's jobs bill that Congress blocked last month, amount to as much as $5,600 to a business that hires an unemployed veteran and $9,600 to a business that employs a veteran who was disabled during his or her service.
The congress is expected to take up those proposals later this week. It's unclear if, unlike the president's other recent jobs proposals, the tax credits will gain enough bipartisan support.
"I believe it's time they said yes to taking action that would boost the economy overall because the overall economy has an impact on veterans," Obama said. "It's a lot easier for veterans to find jobs if the economy is growing rapidly and unemployment is dropping"
The unemployment rate among post-9/11 veterans stands well over 11 percent – significantly higher than unemployment nationwide. And with thousands of troops expected to exit the service within the next two years as the war in Iraq winds down and other cuts hit the Department of Defense, the White House says that number is in danger of climbing.
"While our economy has added more than 350,000 private sector jobs just over the past three months, more than 850,000 veterans remain unemployed," Obama also noted. "Too many can't find a job worthy of their tremendous talents."

Hello summer! Boy have I missed you! Welcome back flip flops, maxi-dresses and dips in the pool! What is un welcomed is the break in the systems I use to keep my house running smoothly. If your family is anything like my family, these next few weeks will be spent adjusting to the "freedom" that summer brings.
One of the things that may be hard to manage between all the freedoms is the ability to keep the chores of the house in order. Let's face it, kids hate chores and hate them even more in the summer. Never fear! Managing the chores in your house can be as easy as 1-2-3!
- Develop a revised chore chart (or start a chore chart) to distribute chores appropriately by age and equally. Make community areas everyone's responsibility since those areas will probably be the hardest to keep clean.
- Attach a reward system to the chore chart. Most parents may opt for monetary rewards because they are quick and easy. You can also extend extra time for activities as a reward. For example, ½ hour earned at the pool for every day the chores are properly done. Or you can use a cumulative reward system. If chores are done every day of the week, the family will go to the beach.
- Have fun and be flexible with it! Kids hate chores because we nag about them. With this system simply remind the child about what they are missing out on if their chores are not done. Add in surprises like making Sundaes or movie night when the kids have been consistent. In the spirit of fun, make sure you verbally acknowledge the completion of the chores. Let the kids know that you appreciate them keeping the house clean.
**If you know that your child is overscheduled on a particular day, adjust the chart and assign the chore to someone else for the week.
Summer does not have to be the end of your tidy house. Implement these easy steps and enjoy the freedoms of summer.

Google confirms fix for Android OS security flaw
We reported yesterday how 99% of Android handsets are vulnerable to impersonation attacks. Well, it seems that a fix is currently being rolled out for all affected users.
The flaw potentially could enable attackers to hijack tokens used to access calendars, contacts and a number of other services available within Google's Android operating system.
A Google spokesperson told computerworld that the flaw, which had only recently been identified by a team of German researchers, was being fixed and a server-side patch was being rolled out that addresses the problem for all versions of Android OS.
The official Google statement read:
"Today we're starting to roll out a fix which addresses a potential security flaw that could, under certain circumstances, allow a third party access to data available in calendar and contacts. This fix requires no action from users and will roll out globally over the next few days."

Unlike other forms of forensic evidence, audio and video recordings can provide a real-time, eyewitness account of a crime so investigators can watch or hear what transpired. For instance, a surveillance video captures a bank robbery in progress, or a hidden camera records an undercover sting operation.
Over the past decade, sources of recorded audio and video that can assist in an investigation have increased exponentially. Closed circuit television systems (CCTV) and video and audio recorders can be found in businesses, at traffic intersections, parking lots, bank machines, on police-vehicle dashboards and of course, in cell phones.
For most crimes, however, high-quality audio and/or video recordings are often not available. This is where forensic audio and video expertise can help. Forensic experts have many techniques to enhance recordings that can bring out details and provide a clearer picture of what occurred, or make an audio recording more audible. This in turn helps investigators, lawyers and jurors better conduct their duties.

Qlique is a Live, Location-Aware Social Network
Qlique is a new location-aware social network that's currently in public beta.
Qlique actually has a lot going on - we spent at least a few hours within the Qlique network to see what it's all about. Qlique is focused on having a live network that shows others in your proximity (up to 3,000 miles). They've started out targeting Greeks (yep, Greeks, not geeks!) at Penn State, so there weren't many people for me to meet quite yet! There are several ways in which to interact with other users. Check out their "persona" or start page, which includes a basic blog, ratings, and comments. On your own start page, there are Qlique widgets that allow you to start games or quizzes with nearby members. It's a new take on social networking, and relies solely on live internet connections, so it may take some time for Qlique to populate and really take off.
Though Qlique is location-aware, part of the beauty of the Internet is being able to connect on a global level. It would be helpful to search for users without limiting location. It's also difficult to learn about other users, and you can't see their own customized page. Hopefully they'll add the ability to include your own widgets onto your startpage, like Wamily, and as Qlique is focused on location-awareness with live connections, a mobile application like AIM's Skyhook service would fit nicely with their format. In all, Qlique is a pretty fun and interesting way to socialize.

Weight: 86.0kg
Preferred foot: Right
Style: Mobile undersized ruckman/pinch hitting leading KPF
Potential: 6-7.5/10
> Athletic – decent-good vertical leap, agility and pace (has natural confidence - likes to use his athleticism to take on players and break lines) – very good mover around the ground
> Clean hands below his knees and overhead – good high mark
> Can play both ruck and KPF
> Mobile around the ground
> Skinny and undersized for a ruck – solid competitor in the ruck at U18 level, but unlikely to cut it at AFL level (lacks technical skills and undersized) unless used for his mobility only to exposed other rucks around the ground ala Simmonds
> Tweener – NQR for ruck or KPP
> Lacks footy smarts and is not a big ball winner
> Kicking lacks power and penetration – overall is an average kick for a player his height
> Seems to kick a lot of cheap goals receiving the handball streaming into open goals – unusual for a KPF to be doing so
> Excellent skinfolds
McCulloch is a classic tweener – too short for an AFL ruck and NQR for a key position. Best case is he ends up like Troy Simmonds who's found his mark as an undersized mobile ruckman. Well suited to a rookie pick if available.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo warned reality TV star Khloe Kardashan that the logo on a shirt sold in her high-end clothing line, Rich Soil, may violate copyright law.
According to CS Monitor, the governor sent Kardashian a pro-forma letter advising the designer that the logo featured on one of the articles of her clothing line is almost identical to the New York Department of Agriculture's logo.
Both logos feature a Statue of Liberty over plow rows inside a circle. And while Kardashian's logo reads "Rich Soil New York," the DOA's reads "Pride of New York."
Kardashian's line pulled the shirt from its website after receiving the cease and desist letter that threatened to sue if the brand didn't stop selling the item and disclosed an estimate of the money made off the design, The Daily News reported.

Each year, the American Stroke Association estimates of the 800,000 people in the United States who have a stroke, 600,000 have never had a stroke before. The American Stroke Association and St. Elizabeth Healthcare believe the only way to reduce that number is to work together and educate the community.
"The one word to remember when it comes to recognizing a stroke is 'sudden'," says Dr. James Farrell, Neurologist with St. Elizabeth Physicians and Medical Director of the St. Elizabeth Stroke program.
The 5 symptoms of stroke are:
- SUDDEN weakness of your face, arm or leg. Try to lift both and see if one side is weak.
- SUDDEN onset of blurred vision. If you have trouble seeing out of one or both eyes or see double.
- SUDDEN dizziness. Especially with difficulty walking or loss of balance.
- SUDDEN difficulty speaking. Slurred speech, confusion or difficulty understanding.
- SUDDEN severe headache. If you have a severe headache for an unknown reason.
If you or someone you love has any of the symptoms, CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY.
Treatment for Stroke
The most important factor in treating a stroke is getting medical care quickly. The sooner you get emergency medical treatment, the more options the doctors have to treat your stroke.
A stroke occurs when a blood vessel that carries blood through the brain is either blocked by a clot or ruptures. When that happens, the brain cannot get the blood it needs, so the brain cells can die. If the stroke is caused by a clot, it is called an ischemic stroke. Ischemic strokes make up 87 percent of all strokes. A hemorrhagic stroke is when a weakened blood vessel ruptures and bleeds into the brain.
In recent years, medical advances have increased the treatment options for patients having an ischemic stroke. Dr. Farrell describes the new options, "The gold standard for treatment is using a tPA, a thrombolytic to help dissolve the clot. The key is, you have to give the tPA within 4.5 hours of the onset of symptoms."
He added, "Now, through a collaboration with the University of Cincinnati, the patient may be eligible for a thrombectomy. In a thrombectomy, an interventionalist can use a device to remove the clot."
The procedure is used primarily to remove clots in larger vessels that may not respond well to intravenous tPA. Until now, these clots had to be taken out within 6 hours of symptoms onset. The good news this year is the extension of the time window to have this procedure. A thrombectomy can now be done within 24 hours of onset of symptoms if newer scanning techniques show the patient to be a good candidate for the procedure. If the clot is successfully removed and no permanent damage has been done to the brain tissue, stroke symptoms could be reversed.
"You still need to get the patient to the closest stroke center. You need to receive the tPA as early as possible. Each patient also needs a full assessment to see if the clot is in a large artery before being transferred to the University of Cincinnati," says Dr. Farrell.
Preventing a Stroke
Someone in the United States has a stroke every 40 seconds. It is not only the leading cause of adult disability in the United States—it is the number 5 cause of death. Yet, 80 percent of initial strokes may be preventable.
Dr. Farrell says, "Stroke shares a lot of the same risk factors as the number one cause of death in the United States—heart disease. So you associate that with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes."
According to Dr. Farrell, if you want to lower your risk of a first stroke by 80 percent by following these simple lifestyle tips:
- Quit smoking.
- Maintain a normal weight.
- Eat a healthy diet.
- Limit alcohol intake.
- Exercise regularly.
- And then, visit your doctor. In addition to controlling high cholesterol, diabetes or high blood pressure, your doctor can also detect an abnormal heart rhythm called atrial fibrillation, which can also cause a stroke.
Kentucky is one of the 9 southeastern states the Center for Disease Control named the "stroke belt" due to the high incident of stroke in region. Dr. Farrell says, "The best way to save lives, other than prevention, is to know the 5 sudden onset symptoms and to call 911 immediately. Getting emergency care immediately could not only save a person's lives but decrease the chance of having a long-term disability."
St. Elizabeth Healthcare facilities are certified as stroke ready and as primary stroke centers, which means patients brought to the emergency room are quickly assessed and treated 24 hours a day by a stroke team.
You can get a screening for vascular disease for $25 on the St. Elizabeth Healthcare CardioVascular Mobile Health Unit. The 10-minute ultrasound exam looks for cholesterol plaques, which may influence your doctor's treatment. To reserve your screening time call (859) 301-9355 (WELL).

New Biology Society at Stirling
Quick to spot a gap that needed filling in Stirling's list of societies (I was going to try to make an ecological niche pun before realising that I'd probably need to read a bunch of papers first so as to make sure I didn't make a scientifically inaccurate joke), Claudia has been helping to set up the new Stirling University Biology Society:
The Stirling University Biology Society was set up this year in order to increase each and every individual student's chances of getting the job they deserve when they graduate. As well as this, some other Society aims are to have students helping each other with study sessions, to meet new people in the University (integrating both students and lecturers) and, of course, to have some top class fun!
We meet weekly to discuss any problem with our courses and to update on new Science. On top of this, we provide events such as trips to parks, conferences and expositions. We also invite special guest speakers to talk about their profession and perhaps give advice on how to get there yourself.
Finally, we offer students the opportunity to enhance their involvement in the subject of biology by registering with the national Society of Biology.
Head over to to the Stirling University Biology Society website to find out more!

Plants are a beautiful addition to any home or apartment. They liven up the room, add color and provide the calming benefits of nature. However, while there are many wonderful bonuses to having plants in your house, one potential negative is maintaining your plants on a regular basis, especially if you're a poker player who travels often or works long hours. Some people just might not have the greatest track record when it comes to keeping plants alive. Luckily, there are various houseplants to choose from, some of which are incredibly low maintenance. Poker Players Low Maintenance Home Gardening is likely for you!
If you're a new plant parent, succulents are very easy to care for and a great place to start your houseplant journey. Within the succulent family, the snake plant is one of the front-runners for the "most tolerant plant" award according to Gardening Know How. These elegant plants grow upright and can go for weeks without being cared for or watered. They don't require much light and won't attract insects as some others may. There are different kinds of snake plants, so check out your local nursery to find the one that works best for your home!
Another way to ease into the plant game is with an aloe plant, which is also a succulent. When watering the aloe plant, you will want to soak it in water, but it's equally as important to have draining holes so that the plant doesn't drown; leave it dry between waterings. Unlike snake plants, you'll want to keep this succulent in direct bright light for most of the day, so if you live in a darker home, this isn't the plant for you. Aside from the ease of caretaking, aloe vera is also used as a medicinal solution for many different ailments such as burns, cuts or dry skin. This plant can be cooked or eaten raw — in fact, many juiceries charge a pretty penny to add a touch of aloe to their green juice or smoothie options on the menu.
Another plant that requires minimal upkeep is a tall, beautiful ficus called a rubber tree plant. You should keep it in an area of the house that gets sunlight, but not direct sunlight for long periods of time; it thrives in temperatures between 60 and 80 degrees. Keep in mind that this houseplant can grow up to 8 feet tall, so make sure you've got the space to host it!
If you're looking for a shorter candidate on height spectrum, you can purchase yourself a spider plant, which, as you may have guessed, has long leaves that thin out in a way that makes them look like spider legs. Unlike the other plants, spider plants require consistent watering, so if you're constantly on the road, you may want to wait on this little beauty. It's common for the leaves to turn slightly yellow or brown, so trim them when needed.
When it comes to a Poker Players Low Maintenance Home Gardening plant selection, succulents really make the perfect introductory plant. They can be purchased in different sized pots and baskets and thrive in most situations. Plus, they are absolutely adorable to look at and can be moved from your desk to your nightstand to the kitchen! Whichever type of plant you decide on, you will, over time, learn to trust that inner green thumb of yours with a little bit of help from sites such as https://www.gardeners.com, http://www.hgtv.com and https://www.gardeningknowhow.com to help you along the way.
You may also want to consult a local nursery or garden store to hear any additional suggestions they may have. And of course, starting small and working your way up to bigger or higher-maintenance plants is a surefire way to get your confidence up. Many gardeners recommend either naming your plants or communicating in some way — whatever works for you if you believe in that. Hey, it can't hurt, right? Happy gardening, and congratulations on your new plant babies! You are now in the Poker Players Low Maintenance Home Gardening Club!

Ever After Announces Full Casting
A new spin on a classic! Have you ever wondered what the true story is behind those classic fairy tales we always hear? Wouldn't it be exciting if there was actually a whole other story behind what we already know? That's exactly what we are about the find out as Paper Mill Playhouse ends its season with the stage premiere of the 1998 film, Ever After. Don't be deceived. While this might seem like just your typical fairytale musical coming to the stage, there is a lot more in store as this show makes its debut in New Jersey this summer. Today, Luner on Theatre brings you the exciting news of the full casting announced for the Ever After at Paper Mill Playhouse!
Ever After is a brand new musical that features music by Zina Goldrich with a book and lyrics by Marcy Heisler. The story, based off of a 1998 film starring Drew Barrymore and Anjelica Huston, sets the record straight on the classic fairytale of Cinderella. The story follows Danielle (Cinderella) as she works to make her own dreams come through working her wit, charisma and strengths alongside her good friend Leonardo da Vinci.
Leading the musical will be Christine Ebersole as Baroness Rodmilla de Ghent, Emmy Award winner Charles Shaugnessy as King Francis, Margo Seibert (Rocky & Pictured Right) as Danielle de Barbarac, James Snyder (If/Then) as Prince Henry as well as Tony Award nominee Tony Sheldon (Priscilla Queen of the Desert) as Leonardo da Vinci. They will be joined alongside Tony Award nominee Charl Brown (Motown the Musical), Mara Davi (The Drowsy Chaperone), Annie Funke (Punk Rock), Julie Halston (You Can't Take It With You) and Andrew Keenan-Bolger (Newsies).
Rounding out the ensemble of the production is Jill Abramovitz, Ashley Blanchet, Nick Corley, Stephanie Elise Gandolfo, Gregg Goodbrod, John Hillner, Sean Martin Hingston, Gwen Hollander, Fred Inkley, Will Mann, Liz McCartney, Alison Morooney, Kevin Munhall, Kevin Michael Raponey, Rachael Scarr, Justin Schuman, Jonathan Shew and Aléna Watters.
The musical will be helmed by Tony and Drama Desk Award Winner Kathleen Marshall as director and choreographer. David Gardos will serve as the musical director. The rest of the creative team includes Derek McLane as scenic designer, Jess Goldstein as costume designer, Peter Kaczorowski as lighting designer and Nevin Steinberg as sound designer. Leah Loukas will provide a hair and wig design while Mary-Mitchell Campbell will act as music supervisor. Rick Sordelet is fight director.
Ever After will be the final production for Paper Mill Playhouse's 2014-15 season which was filled with stellar productions including the a Broadway bound Can Can revival, Elf, Vanya Sonia Masha and Spike as well as the East Coast premiere of Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Ever After, which seems to have hope of a Broadway run some day, will have its first staging at Paper Mill as many productions do before they go on to even bigger lives on stages across the country. What is truly exciting about Ever After is that it takes a brand new spin on a classic fairytale. Many fairy tales are brought to life on stage in different versions and settings. However, this one is about setting the story straight. I'm very excited for Ever After and the new story it will bring to life. I hope to see it during its premiere!
Ever After will make its stage debut at New Jersey's Paper Mill Playhouse beginning May 21st. The show is scheduled for a limited month-long run with performances through June 21st, 2015. Paper Mill Playhouse has also announced it's 2015-16 season which we will be bringing you in a separate blog post very soon! For now, don't miss your chance to experience this take on one of the best known and beloved fairytale classics of all time!
