Cancer-killing Compounds Developed at Duquesne Attract National Attention with $2.8 Million Grant
Tumor-fighting compounds developed at Duquesne University that kill hard-to-treat cancer cells without damaging the body's normal tissues will be further backed by a $2.8 million, five-year grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Principal investigator Dr. Aleem Gangjee, Distinguished Professor of Medicinal Chemistry at Duquesne, will continue the project with the Karmanos Cancer Center in Detroit, one of 40 National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer centers in the U.S.
Preliminary data from tests in mice show that the compounds kill tumor cells without toxicity to normal cells—avoiding the sickness and adverse reactions that accompany most existing cancer-fighting treatments.
This hyper-selectivity of the compounds is key to killing difficult-to-treat, slow-growing cancer cells, such as mesothelioma and some breast and liver cancers said Gangjee, who has five current NIH grants for his drug research.
"The government's investment in Dr. Gangjee's research, given the increasing difficulty of obtaining research funding, shows the huge potential that scientific reviewers believe these novel compounds hold and the scientific value of his cutting-edge research," said Dr. Alan W. Seadler, associate academic vice president for the Office of Research.
With more than 1.5 million new cases of cancer diagnosed a year, Gangjee's drug development could have a huge positive impact on many lives.
"His research has offered new ways to approach cancer chemotherapy and minimize adverse effects of these drugs," said Pharmacy Dean J. Douglas Bricker. "This kind of research is absolutely necessary as more cancer cells become resistant to conventional therapy."
Gangjee explained that the acidity of the cancer cell environment is critical to this process. Most cells function in a neutral environment, but cells in slow-growing, solid tumors exist in an acidic environment.
Growth in any cell requires folic acid, a B-complex vitamin, to build proteins and DNA so that the cells can replicate. The folic acid reaches individual cells via a molecular version of a taxi service—one that normally shuts down in an acidic environment. To overcome this hurdle, the clever cancer cells develop an alternative transport system with PCFT (proton-coupled folate transporters).
"PCFT functions spectacularly in acidic environments," Gangjee explained. "Outside of these environments, they can function, but they have poor efficiency."
Gangjee's compounds exploit that weakness.
Ignoring transporters in normal cells, the compounds hitch rides on tumor PCFT transporters, carrying their drugs inside the tumor. Once inside, these compounds stifle DNA synthesis, killing the tumor.
"The normal cells look at the tumor cells and laugh because they don't have any of the anti-tumor agents in them," Gangjee said.
With this latest grant, Gangjee's team of drug designers will optimize the efficiency of the compounds and their molecular structure, pinpointing specifically what contributes to the selectivity factor and to the inhibition of DNA inside the tumor.
"We hope the process, over five years, will provide compounds highly effective in killing tumor cells that could be ready for human trials," he said.
One patent in the area that cover these drugs has been approved by the U.S. Patent Office.

STAGE TUBE: Preview James Braly's LIFE IN A MARITAL INSTITUTION, Headed to NY Comedy Festival
"Meredith Vieira Productions presents James Braly's LIFE IN A MARITAL INSTITUTION" has been announced as one of the closing night shows of the upcoming New York Comedy Festival. The critically acclaimed one-man show, written and performed by This American Life contributor James Braly, returns to New York City from its national tour for the first time since its sold-out Off-Broadway run. The special performance on November 11, 2012 at Stage 72 (formerly the Triad Theatre) will be followed by a talk-back with producer Meredith Vieira.
Check out a preview video, featuring footage from the show and an interview with Vieira, below!
LIFE IN A MARITAL INSTITUTION (20 Years of Monogamy in One Terrifying Hour), which premiered at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, is an autobiographical dark comedy that cuts back and forth between the deathbed wedding of Braly's sister and his own marital adventures of 20 high-conflict years…or as thirteen couples counselors called it, "a passionate, bi-polar relationship." It ran at 59E59 and Soho Playhouse before embarking on its national tour. In development with Meredith Vieira Productions as a TV series, with Braly adapting the live show for screen, "Life in a Marital Institution" is also a forthcoming memoir from St. Martin's Press.
LIFE IN A MARITAL INSTITUTION (20 Years of Monogamy in One Terrifying Hour) is directed by Hal Brooks (No Child, Long Story Short) and produced by Meredith Vieira and Amy Rapp of Meredith Vieira Productions (Return, The Woman Who Wasn't There).
To purchase tickets to see LIFE IN A MARITAL INSTITUTION at the New York Comedy Festival on Sunday, November 11, 2012, at 7pm, visit www.nycomedyfestival.com. For more information on Braly, visit www.jamesbraly.com.
James Braly is the writer and performer of Life in a Marital Institution. His stories have been broadcast nationally on This American Life, NPR and Marketplace, and his essays appear in the recently published anthologies, Afterbirth (St. Martin's Press) and Mr. Beller's Neighborhood (W.W. Norton). His razor-sharp wit led Time Out New York to describe him as "a comic raconteur who can hold a room captive" and Bored to Death creator Jonathan Ames to describe him as a "master storyteller". James has performed autobiographical stories in venues around the country, including The Whitney Museum, Long Wharf Theatre, Wilma Theatre, Wheeler Opera House and The Moth, where he was featured on the TNT National Story Tour and is the first two-time winner of the Moth GrandSlam storytelling competition. His full-length monologue, The Monthly Nut, directed by Seth Barrish (director of the Off Broadway hit Sleepwalk with Me) is in development at The Barrow Group Theatre. His full-length monologue, Asylum, premiered at Dixon Place, and is in development as television series with Meredith Vieira Productions.Meredith Vieira Productions (MVP), run by Meredith Vieira and Amy Rapp, develops and produces film, TV, web, and theatre in a diverse range of tones, genres, and budgets. The company's first film RETURN, starring Linda Cardellini, Michael Shannon, and John Slattery, premiered at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival; their feature documentary THE WOMAN WHO WASN'T THERE was watched by over 6 million viewers, breaking Investigation Discovery's ratings record; and they are the producers of the national tour of the hit Off-Broadway show LIFE IN MARITAL INSTITUTION. MVP is dedicated to producing smart and sophisticated comedies and dramas driven by authentic characters.
Founded in 2004, The New York Comedy Festival (NYCF) is now in its ninth successful year. The Festival – which is produced by Carolines on Broadway – is presented in association with Comedy Central. The week-long laugh fest brings the biggest names in comedy to New York City's most prestigious venues.

Sentara physician talks Enterovirus 68
September 11, 2014
By: Sentara Corporate Communications
SentaraNEWS had an opportunity to talk with Dr. Bogdan Neughebauer of Sentara Infectious Disease Specialists about Enterovirus 68.
Watch the interview to learn more about Enterovirus 68, as well as what symptoms to look for – especially in children – and tips for preventing the spread of the disease.
Advice for parents and patients
- The current outbreak seems to suggest that children are more prone to develop this infection.
- Parents should monitor their children for any new respiratory symptoms such as shortness of breath and cough, especially if they have underlying asthma.
- They should call their family doctor if the child develops respiratory symptoms.
To decrease transmission of the virus:
- Clean surfaces such as counters, doorknobs, rails or toys.
- Wash hands with soap and water for 20-30 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom.
- Avoid prolonged or unnecessary contact with sick children.
- Patients should use their own set of eating utensils, should not share toys and should stay at home until symptoms improve.

Second Game of Doubleheader Postponed to Monday at 11 a.m.
ITHACA, N.Y. – The Yale University baseball team jumped out to a 5-0 lead after the top half of the first inning, but Cornell responded with five runs in the bottom of the inning and added single runs in the third, fourth, and fifth innings to slip past the Bulldogs, 8-5, in Ivy League play Sunday afternoon at Hoy Field.
The second game of the scheduled doubleheader was postponed to Monday at 11 a.m. due to rain.
With the loss, Yale falls to 2-15 overall, 1-2 in Ivy League play. Cornell improved to 15-6 overall, 3-0 in Ivy League play.
Freshman Brent Lawson went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored to lead the Bulldogs. Senior Josh Scharff went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored. Joe Lubanski and Tom O'Neill also drove in runs for the Bulldogs.
As they did in Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader at Princeton, the Bulldogs plated runs early to take a quick lead over the Big Red. David Toups and Jacob Hunter reached base to lead off the game and advanced into scoring position thanks to a sacrifice bunt by Erick Hsieh.
Yale picked up its first runs of the game thanks to a little small ball as Scharff drove in Toups with an infield single and Lawson followed with a bunt single to drive in Hunter.
After an infield error and a walk loaded the bases, Lubanski's RBI single drove in Scharff and O'Neill followed with an RBI sacrifice fly to drive in Lawson to give Yale a 4-0 lead. Senior captain Chris Piwinski followed with a grounder that was misplayed by the shortstop, allowing Green Campbell to score the fifth run of the inning.
Yale's 5-0 lead proved to be short-lived as Cornell bounced back with five runs in the bottom of the first inning to tie the game at 5-5, with the big hit coming off the bat of J.D. Whetsel, who doubled in two runs.
Whetsel doubled in another run in the third inning. Chris Cruz doubled in a run in the fourth inning, and Whetsel scored the final run of the game on a fielder's choice that gave Cornell an 8-5 lead.
Yale had a chance to cut into Cornell's lead after loading the bases with one out in the sixth inning, but the Bulldogs' bats couldn't produce the key hit to push home any of the runners on base.

On the Fly Chiropractic
Hi, I'm a chiropractor living in Edmonton, Canada who is starting a mobile service called On the Fly Chiropractic. I was raised in Edmonton, but finished my chiropractic education in Melbourne Australia. I lived and worked there for 7 years before coming back to Canada. I haven't found the perfect practice to buy yet, but I need to work.
I'm a chiropractor because I believe that conventional medicine too often focuses on symptoms and the underlying causes of dysfunctional health. I want to educate people on how to better look after themselves so they don't need to turn to drugs and surgery except for as a last resort. My message is in support of preventative measures to avoid crisis.
On the Fly Chiropractic's vision is to provide effective, efficient and safe chiropractic to people who may not have had access to the service before. There are no other mobile chiropractors practicing in Edmonton, giving us this unique market.
This business may last 6 month, a year, or until a great practice becomes available to buy. Until then, I want to get out there and build a strong reputation. I want to provide unparalleled service and really go the extra mile.
As universal as chiropractic is, I believe there is a very specific market that will enlist my services. One will be the client that simply can not get off of the floor due to pain. This is important, but I am more interested in catering to the mother of 3 children under 5 that knows she needs to see the chiropractor, but can't face sitting in a waiting room for an hour while three hungry bodies whine impatiently. Or perhaps the businessman that will be working a 10 hour day, but is desperately looking forward to his 15 minute adjustment at lunch hour.
I suppose I'm looking for the regular chiropractic patient who has become to busy and has not maintained their care. I want to provide an ease of access to people who understand the benefits of chiropractic care.
For this logo, I'm looking for something that I can use for a business card, letterhead, and a website. So hopefully I can get something unique, memorable, simple and versatile. Too much?
When I first pictured On the Fly Chiropractic's logo, I saw a simple black and white side profile of a faceless flying superhero with a well proportioned spinal curve. I envisioned the outline leaving out the ventral portion of his body. I pictured him flying left to right with his outline extending down the left side of the page/card/letterhead. But that's just one idea. I'm anxious to see what the professionals can come up with.
Black and white is simple, but one or 2 colours may add impact.
Thank you for reading and good luck. I'm looking forward to seeing your unique ideas!

It's the penultimate week of the non-league season, and while most of the championship issues have now been resolved there are still relegation places to be filled at the bottom of many of the tables. We've got a mixture of the top and the bottom of the tables for you this evening, kicking off with the bottom of the Blue Square Premier. The relegation places are already decided, but AFC Telford United went into their final home match of the season looking to boost their league position with a win against Grimsby Town, while Newport County prepared for their forthcoming FA Trophy final with a home match against Alfreton Town and Forest Green Rovers played already relegated Darlington.
In the Blue Square Bet South, meanwhile, champions Woking were at home against Truro City, whilst at the bottom of the table Farnborough and Havant & Waterlooville both went into their match at Cherrywood Road needing a win to avoid relegation from the division. Finally, we're off to the Southern League Premier Division, where Weymouth needed a win against Hitching Town in order to guarantee avoiding relegation themselves. Our thanks, as ever, go to those that take the time to record, edit and upload these matches.

Sunday Brunch at Zuni Cafe in San Francisco
It's good to know that Zuni Cafe on Market (between Franklin and Gough) is still around. And still serving great food. Last time I ate here, I was probably in my twenties. It was the place I chose when my mother was taking my friends and I out to celebrate (read: not inexpensive). I also used to go to the very crowded bar with friends on a Friday or Saturday night and drink whiskey sours with Johnny Walker Black. Boy, that was a long, long time ago.
As I arrived right on time, I used the $10 valet parking (I drive a lengthy wagon now) and was greeted by the fresh-faced host. I was meeting a friend from high school who was in town for the holidays, having moved to NYC some time ago. The youthful host informed me our reservation was 15 minutes later than I had thought. So I took the opportunity to hang at the (unchanged) bar and ordered a glass of red wine. I told the bartender of my lengthy absence from the place, discovered next year is Zuni's 30th birthday, and asked for her recommendation of the best vegetarian item on the menu. It occurred to me that this would not have happened the last time I was here. I would never have thought to strike up a conversation with the bartender, nor share any personal details, but my eye make-up would have been perfect.
But enough about me, what about the food?
I took the bartender's advice and ordered the "Eggs, fried in rapini, with artichoke, beans, and fried breadcrumbs (pictured above). I asked the server what "fried in rapini" meant and he responded that rapini was a green. I think the menu should have said "fried with rapini", as I was trying to imagine what "fried in rapini" meant (a fried egg wrapped in rapini?). Anyway, the dish was really sublime, fried eggs with rapini, topped with capers, and super-fried breadcrumbs. The special touch was topping the eggs with a delicious sweet vinegar. The artichoke was a great compliment, but I felt they could have done more with the beans. Still, I would order this dish again in a heart-beat.
My friend ordered the very pretty baby arugula salad, with red and golden beets, and pomegranates to start:
He followed this with a pizza of Asiago and gorgonzola cheese with chicory:
The pizza was delicious, very thin crust with a lovely melding of the cheeses. The chicory was really not much of a player on the piece I tried. Ornamental, perhaps, with the subtlest bitter crunch, but not that special.
As a space, Zuni is full of nooks and crannies. We had a pleasant, tiny table for two and the sunlight streamed in on us throughout our meal. I hope to enjoy another meal at Zuni again soon.
Happy New Year!

Dusk Taker vs Silver Crow.
That guy is no burst linker, he's just a leech.
Arita took the loss of his wings pretty badly..
That whole thing was really pathetic.
Nomi came, he saw easy prey and he conquered without breaking a sweat.
He doesn't play fair. He's arrogant, but he is also very resourceful.
Well, at least his first opponent Ash cheered him up a bit.
Who knew that guy would help him out.

Subs are out, nice episode.
We all knew Haru was going to lose, but Dusk Taker took his wings. I wonder how many abilities he can stock up before he reaches his limit.
This is why I love Ash Roller. He uses English no one can understand (even to other Japanese people). Giga sucks, Tera sucks, new words we will soon find in a dictionary? Not likely
Then we have censorship, not some random ray of light or inconvenient camera angles, but actual censorships. Showing the middle finger to viewers is forbidden, does the studio hope we will never notice we have 4 fingers and a thumb on each hand?
Riding a bike with a foot? The new cool way of riding?
So Ash know hows to behave normally, at least in front of his guardian.
Btw, Ash Roller confirmed to be part of the green legion.
Spoiler for name of guardian:

Probably looking wayy too hard into this but at least there's a sign of season 2 from this episode, too bad it's probably staff being jerks though (but nice attention to detail nonetheless so +100 points for that).
Interestingly enough, the beginning fist fight was actually done better than I thought. Also, Raker kitaaaaaaaaa!!! ENDOU AYA KITAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! Man, I haven't watch anything by her for so long. Woot!

lol@ the 3 main cast.
Noumi is a true sadist in this episode, he's currently the main reason I am continuing to watch this show, after the big "Crash and Burn" of the protagonists. I guess seeing Chiyu in action, would be another reason.
I wonder who Ash is in real life.

I'd have to say this: there are girls with more heart and fortitude that Haruyuki. Now, this is nothing especially controversial, gender is no bar to such virtues.
However, I think one of the reasons why Haruyuki is so offensive is because he violates our conception of what a man should be. Let's face it. Switch Haruyuki's gender and put him in a moe body, and I'd imagine many would be singing a different tune.
I have a wild theory, by the way, that Ash Roller is one of the passerbys that the bus Haruyuki was on drove past in that scene before Brain Burst.
Oh, and the fact we all hate Nomi at least shows that the Studio is succeeding.

I have lost any sympathy I had for Haru. His self loathing and self-destruction is beyond annoying. Add on top of that, he has gone back to his old ways of attacking and blaming those who care about him instead of addressing the real problem.
Noumi is annoying. But that is his character, and he will get his just dues. However, Haru giving up before even trying to fight back... horrible. If he was going to give up everything, might as well tell Taku the whole story. Either way, he ends up losing his wings for good (unless he gets it back some other way). If KYH finds out, she will probably beat the living daylights out of him. Haru was not going to even discuss this with KYH before giving everything up. I have no idea where his IQ went this episode.
Now, Sky Laker (a Lakers fan? j/k) seems like an interesting character. I wonder if she is truly in a wheel chair in real life? She looks like she might be able to help out Haru from blowing himself up. I wonder why she is living in a cottage in the middle of the Unlimited Field, and on top of Tokyo Tower to boot? She seems very mature, and if KYH was here, would probably instant kill her out of jealousy.
As for how Haru will regain his wings, I guess he either has to find a way to force it back from Noumi, or trick Noumi into taking too many skills, which would overload him and force the wings back onto Haru.

For example, Haru losing his wings in this episode, had Haru been female would have been likened to RAPE.
Alas, double standards.

Ash Roller is back!
In just that half of the episode, think he turned into one of my favourite characters for this show.
Haru loses his flying power and was feeling pretty down... Looks like trying to finish the enemy in style backfired.

Not so much a double standard in that Nomi's pretty much forcing neotare onto Chiyu in having her cheer for him instead of Taku or being with Haru, and he's going to flaunt it in front of everyone - that he's so amazing and unstoppable because of Brain Burst.
It may be my uncaring American side talking but - ruining my social standing by having 'footage' of a female friend of mine in the locker room?
Really...? That's the best you can come up with? *pawnch*
This doesn't excuse Haru's behavior, despite all the crap he's gone through. What is Nomi going to do - duel Kuroyukihime and say something like he'll never give Haru's wings back unless she starts doing what he wants? It's almost laughable to even imagine it...
Taku would impale him ten thousand times worse than Vlad the Impaler could ever do, and let's not get started on what Kurohimeyuki would do to that s.o.b.
I bet he would say something like if he gets forced out of Brain Burst that the abilities he stole would never come back just to try and save his own skin.

The men's squash team upended Princeton to continue its quest for an Ivy League title. The Bulldogs defeated the Tigers 6-3 despite a loss at the hotly-contested No. 1 position.
Last season, the Elis fell 5-4 to Princeton at Yale's Brady Squash Center, with the most exciting match of the season coming in the form of a 5-game thriller between Yale's No. 1 Julian Illingworth and Princeton's top player Yasser El-Halaby, who triumphed in the comeback win.
This year, El-Halaby, who is college squash's No. 1 player, again defeated Illingworth, the number two player in the country, by the score of 10-8, 9-6, 9-5.
Four of the six Bulldogs who won their matches did so by 3-0 scores. Josh Schwartz trounced Vincent Yu in the No. 2 slot, while Anshul Manchanda swept Michael Gilman at No. 3 and Andrew Vinci and Ryan Byrnes also needed only three games to defeat their Tiger opponents.
Gavin Cumberbatch and Nick Chirls represented Yale's other two wins, with Cumberbatch besting Nathan Beck 3-1 and Chirls defeating Dent Wilkens 3-1.
William Rees and AJ McCrery both dropped hard-fought 3-2 games to Princeton.
The 6-3 win puts the Elis on a path to the Ivy League title. Yale needs only to defeat Harvard to gain the win, since the Bulldogs should easily win against other Ancient Eight schools.

Contemporary Dance Intro at Kithe Brewster Fall Winter 2018 during Haute Couture Fashion Week
These days, it isn't a fashion show without a spectacle, as seen in the latest Kithe Brewster FW18 Haute Couture Collection, which opened with a contemporary dance performance set in Ancient Roman Era.
The story unfolded with a beautiful couple gracefully dancing and twirling around barefooted. She wore a black ballet-style dress, and he wore a shimmering blue asymmetrical hem, knee length halter dress representation of a toga. They embraced and continued their loving dance before slipping away into the background. Background dancers remained dancing as the music switched to a faster tone and models started their walk down the runway.
The collection inspired by the Roman Era with asymmetrical hem and shoulder, halter and high slit flowy silk dresses in a traditional color palette of navy blue, black, white and red had design elements representing ancient togas. More elaborate dress designs with gold embroidery, prints, sequins and jacquard fabrics wowed the audience as they made their way down the runway. This modern take with simplistic draped silhouettes, silky fabrics with movements and decorative elements radiated a cool and breezy vibe. Undoubtedly, an easy and wearable collection for all women.

Debuting their collections at this show were brands XULY.Bët, Mimi Prober and Hogan McLaughlin.

XULY.Bët and their designer Lamine Badian Kouyaté used a unique and bold series of prints. Using colors of blue, orange, red and green, he mainly focused on creating well tailored suits for business women or someone wanting an eye grabbing piece. While adding other items like a series of one of a kind outerwear and puffer jackets, XULY.Bët had a one of a kind collection.
Mimi Prober showed us a soft and feminine collection. Using see through lace with various patterns in all of her looks enhanced the models' true beauty. Colors of black, white, soft mint, and a deep pink were chosen in natural earth tones. Luxurious black velvet was used for coats and was accented with lace details.
Hogan McLaughlin used strong and primarily dominate, striking colors of black, gun metal and white. He mainly presented dresses with original cutouts. He gave great attention to details and the shaping of the garments. Frequently using zippers as a detail, this gave the collection an edgy look.

Pam Hogg Autumn Winter 2019 during London Fashion Week
In a spectacular display of provocateur, Pam Hogg delivered another iconic
collection "Venus in Phurr" creating a line representing erotica, provocateur, dominance and sexuality. Playing with elements of BDSM culture and apparel through leather, mesh and whips, the collection was accentuated by Pam Hogg's signature design technique of the unexpected, this year, the use of confident furs.
Contrasting against the dominant garments, the collection also presented elements of compliance and submission, showcased through gentle colored military style suits, combinations of mesh, soft colored furs and delicate details creating an aura of sensual, innocence alongside the provocative garments of the collection. Combining the two concepts, a white leather, silver studded two piece stormed down the runway, featuring studs around the waistline and zipper of the trousers drawing a subtle hint of provocateur to the garment. With intricate studded patterns combined with leather, the notion was further accentuated. Drawing in the contrasting element of compliance, the white leather used for color representation, symbolized purity, the word 'Innocence' was also adorned on the back of the sleeveless, high neck,traditional style cape, sending a clear message to the audience of the secondary conflicting concept behind the collection.
Celebrating the form of contemporary men and women, Pam Hogg's collection subtly celebrates gender and sexuality for all with a collection designed to make any individual feel confident. Destroying any negativity through confident, dancing and strutting models showcasing a powerful collection, a positive message is clearly displayed through the line. Pushing the boundaries of contemporary fashion, Pam Hogg's collection, a celebration of individuality, sexuality and the human body, forced the audience at Freemasons' Hall to their own opinion, be that negative or positive, all attendees left with a reaction to the collection, a trend that seems apparent with Pam Hogg and the powerful impact left on her audience.

Mimpikita Autumn Winter 2019 during London Fashion Week
Celebrating diversity with their Autumn Winter 2019 collection, Mimpikita showcased a collection that breaks down cultural boundaries and infuses elements of each designer into the garments. The collection is as a representation of the three founders of the brand and the different backgrounds of the three women.
An array of soft skirts and tailored outerwear are introduced throughout the collection, representing and speaking to all women. Incorporating the use of abstract floral and checked prints, the line also clashes delicate details and embellishments creating a subtle balance. Embroidery and fringing are featured on a number of pieces across the collection. Made by hand the detailing adds further depth to the clothes.
The bold, fearless and unique silhouettes combined with the delicate embellishments, are used to signify the beauty, power and resilience women hold. These combinations act as a representation for the women and founders that created and drew inspiration from themselves to design the collection. One of the most elegant pieces the line introduced is a high neck floor length gown. Contrasting a satin nude material from the neck to the waist and finishing in a point, the dress then fell into a bold gold, blue and lilac print to the floor. Contrasting the two materials further, one sleeve of the dress featured a sleek fitted long sleeve in the same satin nude material, the other however presented a bunched effect stopping at the elbow, in the same bold print as the bottom half of the dress.
The finale design also presented a huge contrast, one half of the dress presented a pure white one side contrasted with a dark navy shade on the other side featuring subtle detailing across the fabric in a slightly darker navy shade. Drawing the dress together, a bunched neck above the chest created a perfect silhouette of soft and daring, drawing the concept of the collection into one garment. The Mimpikita Autumn Winter 2019 collection acts as a resounding voice for women globally.

Kalissi Autumn Winter 2019 during London Fashion Week
Inspired by the Austrian opulent imperial times the emerging Viennese womenswear brand Kalissi presented an Autumn Winter 2019 collection representing the epitome of luxury fashion. Drowning its audience in rich details, pearls, ruffles and pure opulence, the collection introduces contrasting contemporary shapes alongside vibrant shades and youthful colors. Boasting a Unique and extrovert style, the collection sets itself apart from conventional luxury fashion brands.
Using eccentric silhouettes and bold colors, the brand is driven in a fresh direction through modernizing iconic trends, incorporating quality materials, tailoring for the perfect fit and a unique design aspect drawn from the designers' distinctive background in textiles and graphic design. Fusing playful details alongside the confident combination of fabrics presents the pure opulence that inspired the collection to create the signature look aimed for by Kalissi.
One of the most progressive designs from the collection showcased a fuchsia pink fur dress, styled in the form of a long sleeve, mid-thigh length coat. Adding an additional layer of detailing to the outfit, a sapphire blue fur made up the collar, cuffs, patch pockets and pompom details, creating the illusion of buttons. Drawing the look together, a Cossack style hat in the same sapphire blue material, finished the look.

You can read the full patch notes here!
The preseason leading to Season 4 of League of Legends is almost upon us, and with the new preseason comes some new changes. What's up first? Vision.
Vision has always been pretty important; warding the maps allow you to see your enemy's trajectories, as well as to help you check some potentially dangerous situations.
In terms of wards, there's a few changes in terms of ward mechanics. Vision wards will no longer be invisible, but will last as long as they are not destroyed. The health for vision wards has been increased from 3 to 5, so it'll take slightly longer to get rid of them. This change is to encourage more ward protection, as vision wards are now visible to every single player.
Additionally, each player will have a ward limit: 3 to be exact. Also, each player may only place one Vision Ward at a time, and placing any wards past your limit will just make an older one disappear. Luckily, Vision Wards will also be cheaper, so if you do find your wards getting destroyed quickly, you'll be able to recover your vision area better.
To better help players, Trinkets will be introduced to the item pool. Trinkets will be free and swappable at any time, and will serve to provide one of three functions. Sweeper trinkets will allow you to reveal invisible wards (not champions); Totem trinkets will allow you to place an invisible ward that lasts 1-2 minutes depending on the trinket's level; and Lens trinkets will essentially function like the summoner spell Clairvoyance. Trinkets can be leveled up to level 9, and each level either gives the trinket more power or a lower cooldown.
So, what do you think about the new way vision will work in League of Legends?

Abernethy Collection of American Literature
The Julian W. Abernethy Collection of American Literature was bequeathed to the College in 1923, upon the death of Julian W. Abernethy, Class of 1876, College Trustee from 1901-1923. A distinguished teacher and scholar of American and British literature, Abernethy was an avid bibliophile and during his lifetime amassed an extraordinary collection of first editions, collected works, critical editions, and original manuscripts by the most notable men and women in American letters from the late 18th through the early 20th centuries.
Arguably the greatest strength of the original collection lies in books, pamphlets, and manuscripts related to the transcendentalist movement. Ralph Waldo Emerson, Margaret Fuller, Bronson Alcott, William Ellery Channing, George Ripley, and Elizabeth Peabody are well represented. It was Henry David Thoreau, however, who Abernethy collected with a passion, considering himself "a Thoreau collector with an unappeasable ambition." Documenting his constant pursuit of new Thoreau material, the collection contains detailed correspondence between Abernethy and several antiquarian book and manuscript dealers. Among the most unique Thoreau items in Abernethy's collection are books from his library and artifacts from the site of the cabin at Walden, pencils and letter openers crafted by Thoreau, and abolitionist scrapbooks maintained by his sister Helen. In keeping with Abernethy's spirit, legendary Abernethy Curator and Middlebury College librarian Viola White purchased Thoreau's personal copy of the first edition of Walden with the author's annotations, in 1940.
In his will, Abernethy stipulated that his library should be kept independent of the College Library's circulating collection, provided a fund for its maintenance, and perhaps most curiously stipulated that, should the College split into separate colleges for men and women—at the time a persistent consideration for administration, trustees, and alumni—his library would form the core of the newly independent women's college. Without question, a residual benefit of the College's sustained commitment to co-education is the retention of the Abernethy Collection.
In 1927, after years of legal red tape in passing the Abernethy library on to the College, construction of east and west wing additions to the Starr Library began. Largely funded by Frank D. Abernethy, the east wing was designed to house the newly acquired Abernethy collection. In the early 1960s, the Abernethy Room was relocated, joining the College's other Special Collections in the West wing. In 2008, the original Abernethy Room was restored to its former splendor as part of the renovation/construction of the Axinn Center at Starr Library, while the Abernethy Collection remained in Special Collections in the Davis Family Library.

Mine Safety Meeting with New Mexico Mine Operators
by Carrie B. Moritomo
Santa Fe, NM, Aug. 27, 2007 – The New Mexico Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (NMDHSEM), in conjunction with New Mexico Tech Bureau of Mine Safety, hosted a mine safety meeting today to introduce underground and major surface mine operators to the incident command system and statewide response capabilities of NMDHSEM.
"The purpose of today's meeting is to foster a relationship between our agency and the mining operators of New Mexico, so in the future we will be able to collaborate and operate in a seamless fashion during an emergency," said Tim Manning, Director, New Mexico Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management.
"This meeting had been pre-established prior to the tragedy that occurred in Utah," said Terence Foreback, NM State Mine Inspector, "But I feel Utah has added to the urgency to what we are trying to accomplish."
The objective of this meeting was to familiarize underground and major surface mine operators with incident management system and facilitate the sharing of emergency response plans amongst the attendees. Future meetings will focus on planning, training, and exercise to enable mine operators to be ready for a response situation. The operators also requested further training on the warning and public information component during emergencies and disasters. NMDHSEM will offer training on emergency public information at an upcoming meeting.
The mining companies present at the meeting were BHP Billiton, Chevron Mining Inc. McKinley Mine, WIPP/Washington TRU Solutions, Mosaic Potash, Chevron Mining Inc. Molycorp, Intrepid Potash, PD Chino Mines, and PD Tyrone Mining. The Department of Labor's Mining and Safety Health Administration was also in attendance.
NMDHSEM is responsible for coordinating the state's response to natural or man made disasters. The department is the access point for mobilization of state resources during a disaster or emergency and is the bridge for assistance from the federal government to local governmental entities in times of disaster.

Jesanis, of Sunapee, N.H., in order to create a prestigious faculty chair and attract individuals representing STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) fields. The Jesanis Chair recognizes Freeman for her scholarly achievements and contributions to her profession and society at large. Freeman is serving as a member of the Wallace H. Coulter School of Engineering faculty.
"Janet and I are thrilled that Dr. Marilyn Freeman has been appointed as the first holder of the Jesanis Chair at Clarkson," said Michael Jesanis. "She has amassed a superlative track record during her outstanding career and we're sure she will make a major contribution to the University's academic quality and research program."
Growing up in rural Ohio, Marilyn Miller Freeman didn't expect her career would lead to managing a multi-billion-dollar budget in the Department of Defense. Nor did she think she'd end up at Clarkson as the Jesanis Chair.
Instead, Freeman based her life on two principles: her desire to answer burning questions she had about science, which eventually led to a Ph.D. in materials science and engineering from the University of Texas at Austin, and her commitment to seize opportunities as they presented themselves.
The rest worked itself out. Freeman capped off over three decades as a defense department researcher and administrator in 2012. She was deputy assistant secretary for research and technology for the last two of those years, managing a more than $2 billion annual budget.
In that role, she was in charge of 21 laboratories and research, development and engineering centers, with more than 10,000 scientists and engineers dedicated to protecting soldiers. She testified to a Congressional subcommittee several times during her tenure.
For years, Freeman escaped from the hustle and bustle of metropolitan Washington, D.C., with her husband to a Thousand Islands summer home. She was planning to retire from the defense department and enter academia, so when the opportunity arose to work at Clarkson, she jumped at the chance to return to a region she loved.
"I was so impressed with Clarkson when I came to visit," Freeman said, "I was impressed with the academic programs, with the quality of the professors and the progressiveness of the administration. I was amazed that they saw something in me that they thought they could use."
"Marilyn Miller Freeman embodies Clarkson's evolution to excellence and the aspirations we have for building an exciting vision from a foundation of strength and stability," said Clarkson President Tony Collins. "She is not only an outstanding scholar aligned to the research pursuits of our faculty, but also a faculty mentor who embraces the roles of service to profession and inspiration to students that distinguish Clarkson faculty in the higher education community."
As the Jesanis Chair, Freeman will work to grow Clarkson's materials science program. She will also mentor young faculty who are applying for research funding. Her experience as a government official who decided where to allocate funding will help her guide faculty in their grant writing skills.
"Part of the problem we have is that different communities talk different languages," she said of the difference between the academic and government sectors. "I've got experience across all those disciplines and can translate among those and make those connections stronger."
Freeman received her bachelor of science degree in physical science from the University of Dayton and a master of science in materials science from the Stevens Institute of Technology.
She overcame dyslexia as a child and excelled in school through hard work. Her Ph.D. research involved studying why some capacitors fail and others do not, while her career at the defense department included stints researching and developing capacitors, electric guns and hybrid military vehicles.
"I got to do what I had a passion for," said Freeman. "The answer to an awful lot of the problems we see every day and in particular the problems in the Department of Defense come down to materials science."
Freeman also plans to teach classes in future semesters. She began her career as a high school mathematics teacher in 1975 in Englewood, Ohio, and views her return to education as her career coming full circle.
Freeman grew up in an era where many girls her age planned to be a nurse, a teacher or a homemaker. But she picked up a children's science book in the third grade that interested her and never looked back; she credits her passion for finding out answers to her scientific questions with propelling her career.
"Those burning questions keep moving you forward," she said. "Having a passion for something that truly interests you gives you that drive."
Clarkson University launches leaders into the global economy. One in five alumni already leads as a CEO, VP or equivalent senior executive of a company. Located just outside the Adirondack Park in Potsdam, N.Y., Clarkson is a nationally recognized research university for undergraduates with select graduate programs in signature areas of academic excellence directed toward the world's pressing issues. Through 50 rigorous programs of study in engineering, business, arts, sciences and health sciences, the entire learning-living community spans boundaries across disciplines, nations and cultures to build powers of observation, challenge the status quo, and connect discovery and engineering innovation with enterprise.

Genoa has dozens of historic city palaces, one more opulent than the next, but none that rival the Palazzo Reale. This palatial villa from 1643 was home to the 3 most powerful families in the city. Today, the Palazzo Reale is a famous museum with an impressive collection of 17th- and 18th-century furniture and art.
The Palazzo Reale stands on the Via Balbi, a seemingly inconspicuous street in the old city centre, wedged between the university and the harbour. But step inside number 10 and a whole other world opens up. The sober facade hides an impressive courtyard and an exotic garden with a fountain and palm trees. For centuries, this mansion hosted aristocrats, diplomats and royalty. If only the walls of the 23 rooms in this palace could talk...
Memorable parties and balls, diplomatic receptions and dinners for illustrious guests such as Napoleon Bonaparte – the Palazzo Reale has witnessed many important moments in the history of the republic of Genoa. The city palace was built in the mid-17th century for the Balbi family, who made their fortune in the textile and silk trade. From this new neighbourhood of La Strada Nuova, the wealthy merchants enjoyed great views of their ships in the harbour below. 50 years later, the Balbi family were forced to sell the mansion due to financial problems and another famous Genoa family moved in, the Durazzo family. This family expanded the city palace, adding many Baroque elements. In 1730, a Hall of Mirrors was added, modelled after the one in Versailles. In the 19th century, the palazzo served as the second home to the Dukes of Savoy, who at the time were also the Kings of Sardinia. Their presence earned the palace its name reale, 'royal'.
The Savoy dynasty resided in the city palace until 1919. Most pieces in the current museum were owned by the family. In addition to chandeliers and Baroque furniture, the villa also displays more than 200 paintings, including a Tintoretto and 2 works by Antoon van Dyck. The rooms and salons have been mostly preserved in their original state and offer great insight into the life of an aristocratic family in Genoa. An antique wooden carriage still stands by the entrance and a cabinet door leads to a discreet altar. But the pièce de résistance are the colourful frescos on the ceilings that lend this villa its distinct Italian character.
Conclude your visit to the Palazzo Reale with a stroll on the rooftop terrace. This vantage point offers sweeping views of the harbour with its high dockside cranes and the monumental lighthouse, La Lanterna. As you look straight down, you will also enjoy a lovely view of the small palazzo garden. This perspective allows you to admire the mosaics around the pond. The black and white images have been created with pebbles called risseu, a local mosaic style often used in the churches of Liguria, the region in Northern Italy where Genoa lies.

Magician Tries to Sell Pot to Completely Confused Cop in Epic Prank
The art of magic has been taken to a whole new level thanks to this
brave stupid brave and stupid prank.
This guy walks right up to an officer -- in uniform -- and interrupts him to ask if he'd like to buy some marijuana that he has in a bag. The officer is ready to pounce and do his part in the war on drugs.
Before the officer could say "This is your brain on drugs," though, the weed disappears and totally flusters the cop, who is none too appreciative of the mind games this citizen is playing on him.
Eventually, the cop cuts his losses and tells the magic man to leave, leaving behind a haze...of unanswered questions.

But really, the fact that my writing has a "voice" is less egoistic than "sounds like me." A writer's voice is, I think, two things. The first is the sum of the choices we make about words and punctuation, and the second is what we choose to observe and report on. And my writing has unique characteristics in both of those realms. I LOVE punctuation that allows me to digress within the stretch of a single sentence — the em-dash, the semi-colon, the parenthesis, even the simple bracketing commas surrounding a non-restrictive clause. And, as you can see, I love the sound and rhythm of repeating words, all of those "the's" in that last sentence chiming like a liturgy.
When I observe situations in the world, I'm attentive to the exact words people use, and to their postures and the ways they express emotions. But I'm also attentive to what I'm thinking about it while I'm watching it, so my writing tends to be like a narrated film on the Discovery Channel — you get to see the animals playing, but you also get to hear me commenting on it at the same time.
The title of this blog post comes from Vladimir Nabokov. I'd never heard it until I read an essay by Patricia Hampl called "The Dark Art of Description." It's not a terrific essay (mainly because I don't so much care for her voice), but the ideas are important. Here's a couple of sentences:
Next to grand conceptions like plot, which is the legitimate government of most stories, or character, which is the crowned sovereign, the detail looks like the ragged peasant with a half-baked idea of revolution and a crazy, sure glint in its eye. But here, according to Nabokov, resides divinity.So this is not my preferred voice — it's a bit overblown, with the metaphor drawn out pretty thin. But what a perfect idea. We buy Robert Ludlum and John Grisham thrillers because the plots are fun, but the characters are little more than plot mannequins, and the details are careless and distracted. We may burn through them on the airplane, but nobody ever reads one again for the love of the language.
So now the context shift that brings us back to design. I think we can imagine that our focus on form and space is akin to a focus on plot — it grabs our attention on first read, but has little staying power. Perhaps character is something more akin to architectural material – cold or warm, generous or meager. But if we come back to good buildings, as we come back to good writing, it is because the details unfailingly please us. There are pieces of music I've heard a hundred times, and I get choked up at exactly the same place every time because that particular musician has made a particular choice about pacing or emphasis at a particular point in the score, and it's just revelatory every time I hear it.
Architecture about form is the equivalent of books centered on plot — exciting once, but not savored. Architecture about "ideas" is the equivalent of the dessicated and emotionless academic paper — possibly interesting, but not what you want around you when you're tired or lonely. It's the details that reward repeated encounter, that show us something noble or joyous on each occasion.

It didn�t matter which high school campus you were on Thursday, the scene was the same.
Young men were sweating, coaches were yelling while managers and athletic trainers stood by waiting to do their assigned tasks. It was the first official day of football practice and the four Cleveland County schools joined their public school brethren across the state getting down to work for the new season.
On the first two days of football practice, headgear, shorts and football shoes constitute acceptable dress. On days three, four and five, shoulder pads may be added but no body contact is permitted.
On day six, full uniforms may be worn and full contact drills begin.
The first official date for scrimmages between schools in football is Aug. 10 and the first official playing date for the 2013 season is Aug. 23.
At Kings Mountain
First game: Aug. 23 at home versus Hunter Huss
Players on hand: 90 (varsity and JV)
Practice highlight: Kings Mountain coaches add a wrinkle by rolling a �cube� to determine what regimen the practice will follow.
On each side of the diced cube are written such things as �pride drill, eight stations, running drills� and the like, which determines what�s next.
�It just adds a little fun,� said Mountaineer coach Greg Lloyd. �They really pay attention when we roll the dice.�
Coachspeak: �We�ve got about 90 players, which is a good number,� Lloyd said. �We've pretty much got who we expected that was here during our summer workouts.
�We had a good first day. We�ve got a lot of young players. We worked the varsity and JV all together.�
Notable: Many of the same people who sit in folding chairs, in their trucks or just sit or stand on the grassy bank beside the Kings Mountain practice field are the same year-after-year. All are curious to see the prospects for the Mountaineers.
Among the familiar figues were Mearl Valentine, Gary Stewart and Larry Sipe. A new face driving a golf cart was former Crest assistant Jeremy Shields, now a school administrator at Kings Mountain High.
At Shelby
First game: Aug. 23 at Polk County
Players on hand: 90 (Varsity and JV)
Practice highlight: Shelby had three new assistant coaches working on the practice field with the Golden Lions' squad for the first time. Former Gardner-Webb player Jamie Dunaway, along with Justin Hawn and Ray Barkley are additions to coach Lance Ware�s staff for the 2013 campaign.
Coachspeak: �It was a great practice, there was a lot of enthusiasm out there on the field,� said Shelby coach Lance Ware. �I like their attitude.
�They (the players) have put in a lot of work. These seniors have done a lot, much of it on their own this summer. They have bought in to what we�re doing and they know what to expect out there.�
Notable: It wasn�t hard to pick up on a certain resounding rhythm to the Golden Lions� opening practice. That�s because just across the parking lot from the practice field, the drum corps for the Shelby High marching band was hard at work as well. The cadences they produced helped add a little more energy to the atmosphere of the occasion.
At Crest
First game: Aug 23 at home versus South Point
Players on hand: 95-100 (varsity and JV)
Practice highlight: Coach Mark Barnes noted the play of his quarterbacks, P.J. Brooks and Cameron Peeler.
�Both of those guys were throwing really well,� Barnes said. �We�re trying to put them in situations where they�re comfortable.�
He said defenses won�t be able to defend the Chargers as easily this season with that improved aerial attack.
Coachspeak: �Today was a good day. I thought our players� attitudes were good,� Barnes added. �We�re anticipating being very competitive on Thursday and Friday nights.
�The seniors that should produce have to produce. Our biggest question is how much youth will be served. Our young players have been working hard this summer. It will be a question of well we blend old and new.
�Dominique Roseboro, P.J. Brooks and Omar Brooks are juniors who have a lot of experience. Those guys have to play big for us.�
Notable: It just isn�t in Sid Bryson�s nature to sit on the sideline for long. Bryson, a former head coach and longtime assistant with the Chargers � for whom the Crest stadium is named � is back as an assistant coach this season.
At Burns
First game: Aug. 23 at home versus Ashbrook
Players on hand: 80 (JV and varsity)
Highlight: The Bulldogs return starting quarterback Chris Montgomery, plus running backs Tylan Ruff, Jaylin Hill, Jalen King and Michael Tate.
�You have to like our backfield,� Burns coach Matt Beam. �We�ve got a good quarterback and some guys that can run it.�
Coachspeak: �We�re just ready to play. We�re excited about our group. We�ve got guys that know what they�re doing. So it�s not completely a teaching thing.
�We need to improve every day. We can�t listen to people telling us how good we are. If we work, we�ll be fine.
�I love their energy.�
Worth noting: Burns was the lone county team to practice at night on the first official day of workouts. The Bulldogs ran a variety of drills, from �strip and rip� working on ball security to one that focused on not jumping offsides on a hard snap count. Intensity and a fast pace were on full display.

Well, since Floyd wants the discussion that's hijacked the "Pumpernickel" topic moved over here, here it is.
The question I have is one of understanding where the division is between "Advanced topics" and .... whatever you call that which is not "advanced." Now I really don't want to pick nits or split hairs; I just want to understand.
I see three things that drew Floyd to raise the issue altogether: The first was the applicability of professional techniques, equipment and procedures to amateur baking. The second was the risk of discouraging beginning, amateur bakers by discussing professional approaches that are beyond their current competencies or "need to know." The third was Floyd's perception of Norm's style of communicating (pointing out errors, describing "the way a pro does it," and his typing ... uuuuuh .. . technique).
Now, as to the first issue, I think few of us are about to buy a commercial bread baking oven for our kitchens. Yet, we have very amateur folks who have purchased commercial mixers, built wood burning ovens, etc. Many others have found where they can get ingredients we generally think of as only available to commercial bakers. I have regularly purchased First Clear flour. It hasn't been a problem, although I wish the shipping costs were less! I probably won't make a bagel board or proofing box. But that's because my carpentry skills are non-existent. I am challenged by hanging a picture.
The point is, the answer to the applicability question varies greatly from individual to individual, depending on his or her space, financial resources, and related competencies. For example, I have no difficulty following the food chemistry discussions (Which I would argue are certainly an "advanced topic) because I have studied chemistry. When you engineers start talking electronic measuring equipment, I go elsewhere. Now, I can decide for myself what's applicable to my own baking and what's not. If it's not, I move on, but I don't condemn some one else discussing what doesn't happen to be useful to me.
The second issue has to do with both the learning ambitions of the amateur baker and the teaching style of those offering information, advice or instruction. As far as ambition goes, personally, I don't want to bake bread that is merely edible. I want to bake the best bread I can possibly learn to bake. It's a thrill each time a bread is "the best I've ever baked," but I always am thinking about how I can make it better. In retrospect, I was making pretty poor bread when I first found TFL. I've learned a tremendous lot in a short time. I don't see the end to this learning curve; I'd be unhappy if I could. The bread is good, but, for me, it's the learning that hooks me. I have left other web sites supporting others of my enthusiasms when I felt they had nothing more to teach me. I wouldn't want that to happen here because you "dumbed it down" too far.
The teaching style issue may be a generational difference. Norm's 6' 5" German baker boss represents a time and place that is not here and now. The 20-40 year olds of today expect and demand continuous, explicit praise for everything they do. This is not a criticism. It's a fact that numerous studies have confirmed, books have been written about and which has been widely published in the print and broadcast media. I won't speak for Norm, but he is a decade or so my junior, as it happens. If I got one "Good job, David" every 6 months or so, I was happy. Smug, even. My generation knew when we were doing a good job because we had internalized the standards of the school, workplace and family. We didn't need some one else to tell us we were doing a good job. We hoped that, if we were not, some one would show us how to improve rather than merely punishing us. The good teachers/bosses were mentors; they taught by setting an example of excellence. They might have demanded loyalty and hard work. They didn't rightly give a hoot whether you liked them or not. Things have changed.
Lastly, Norm: Have you heard of a Program called "Dragon Naturally Speaking?"
Please excuse the way too long post. Maybe you need a sub-forum for dissertation-length posts.

For my non-Farsi speaking readers, this map displays a 'male' province and a 'female' province. These two provinces are separated by barbed wire, 20-meter trench and the Great Wall of China with ground-to-air missiles.
While not a "cartographically accurate" map of the divisions within Iran, it does symbolically highlight the enormous gulf between men and women. Men and women are not in separate provinces, but what might the symbolic spatial gender division on this map represent for Iranian society?

Such was the case last week when I joined premiere art supply manufacturers Royal Talens and Canson for a ten day excursion through Paris and Amsterdam to explore the sites, see the museums, and get a vip tour of the various factories that make the paints, pastels, and watercolors that the Royal Talens brand is known for. If you were keeping tabs of our Instagram (beautifuldecayofficial) and Facebook page last week you may have seen a picture or two from our trip but we thought it would be nice to give you an expanded glimpse into our travels through a three part blog post.
