I have a Kodak easyshare m320 which I recieved today. I bought an SD card to go with it because the internal memory is really small. Near the card port, it says it accepts SD cards, and it also says this on the manual, but the card I bought for it is not being read by the camera. I can put the card in my computer and it works fine, though, so I don't know what the problem is. Do I need to do something to my camera in order to make it use the card rather than internal memory?

Slow camera Thank you for the suggestions. I got the camera about 6 years ago and it worked fine. The problem started recently, over the last few months. It cannot be related to the card, or the processor. They were the same when it worked well. It is charging up very slowly.

DURHAM, N.C.—Duke's Max Moser and Kristofer Garðarsson registered their first career goals to lead the sixth-seeded Blue Devils to a 2-1 victory over FIU in the second round of NCAA Men's Soccer action at Koskinen Stadium Sunday night. The Blue Devils host Fordham in the third round, Saturday, Nov. 25 at 6 p.m.
The win is John Kerr's 100th as the head coach of the Blue Devils. He is just the second coach in Duke men's soccer history to reach the century mark in victories. Duke improves to 13-4-2 overall on the year, one win shy of matching the 14 the Blue Devils posted in 2011 – a high-water mark under Kerr.
"We got off to a good start and I was hoping we would get a hold of the ball a little bit better," said Kerr. "But in these games it's so competitive and they put a lot of pressure on us. They were chasing the game and we got a little bit sloppy. It was a heckuva goal by Kristofer Gardarsson to show his quality and I was happy to get that two-goal cushion."
Duke improves to 31-24-1 in NCAA Tournament play overall, the 14th-most of any Division I program. FIU ends its outstanding season with a 12-2-4 overall record.
The Blue Devils got off to a fast start, moving the ball well and controlling much of the possession. Duke freshman Daniel Wright did well to draw a foul on the Panthers about 25 yards from goal, setting up an outstanding opportunity for the left foot of Moser.
The sophomore winger stepped up and whipped a shot over the wall and into the left side netting leaving FIU goalkeeper Hugo Fauroux with no chance and giving Duke the 1-0 lead just 18:02 into the game.
Duke did well to keep FIU's high-powered offense in check for the remainder of the half and took a 1-0 lead into halftime. Senior striker Brian White did have a goal-saving defensive play in the opening 45 minutes, tackling a player on the doorstep amidst a bit of chaos in the penalty box.
The second half was a tight affair with FIU starting to chase the game as time wore on. Duke absorbed the pressure well, with Carter Manley anchoring the backline as the center back for the missing Markus Fjørtoft.
"Carter is a very talented player on both sides of the ball," Kerr said. "He's very quick to play the ball long with his left or right. He can play it short either way and he has good recovery speed and reads the game well. He was the obvious choice [to step in for Markus]."
Gardarsson gave the Blue Devils a nice cushion in the 73rd minute when he took a centering pass from sophomore Suniel Veerakone and hit a wonder strike into the left side netting past Fauroux. The FIU keeper, once again, had no chance at stopping the shot as Gardarsson netted a memorable first goal as a Blue Devil.
FIU, refusing to give up and possessing the nation's top offense, pulled back within one when a long pass out of by back by Owen Green caught the Duke defense a little flat footed. Paul Marie ran onto the ball and calmly slipped it past Duke goalkeeper Will Pulisic in a one-on-one play.
"To get that second goal was crucial," Kerr said. "But we did make it exciting the last 10 minutes for the fans."
That proved to be all the Panthers could get past the Duke defense and Pulisic. The rookie keeper was outstanding once again, making seven saves overall, including a couple of crucial diving stops in the first half.
Duke hosts Fordham, which upset No. 11 seed Virginia 1-0. Kickoff is set for Nov. 25 at 6 p.m., at Koskinen Stadium and will be broadcast on WatchESPN. It will be a rematch as the Blue Devils defeated the Rams 3-0 Aug. 27 in the second game of the John Rennie Nike Invitational.
Tickets are $8 for adults and #3 for students and senior citizens. Fans can purchase them in advance through GoDuke.com.

Healthy Holidays December Class Schedule
Each December we put together a special class schedule designed to help us maintain our balance amidst the travel, emotion, and food. This year we have a special treat with the addition of a new 200 Hr. Certified Yoga Teacher, Melissa Lange, as well as Wellness Programs being taught by our Certified Acupuncturist, Jocelyn Mitchel. Click here to read their bio's.
In a Nutshell
- Our Healthy Holiday Class Special runs from December 7th to New Years Eve.
- All Group Classes, Programs, and Workshops that are offered at both locations are included in one special price.
- Pre-registration will guarantee your spot in class, but all classes are drop-in ready. So, come to as many classes as you can at your convenience.
- Bring friends when they are in town. All classes can also be purchased for our regular drop in rates.
- Class times are varied; in part to allow for options on a hectic month, but also to get feedback for Melissa to set up our long term yoga schedule.
- This is a great sampler. Test some new yoga styles, meet and learn from Jocelyn, enjoy some fun and stay connected to health this holiday month.
- Your Healthy Holidays Unlimited Class Pass is non-transferable and will expire on Jan. 1st regardless of attendance.
All For One Low Price
Unlimited December Class and Program Pass – $39 includes
- 25 yoga Classes
- 8 Zumba Classes
- 4 Wellness Discussions with our Acupuncturist
- 1 Workshop on how to consciously create traditions and spaces filled with your intention.
Registration is Easy:
As part of our new system we will be urging everyone to register and purchase classes online. You can still easily pay and register at the front desk, but our online system gives you greater control over your account and makes it easy to register or cancel yourself from a class. With just a little bit of time you can have a Booker App on your phone (Apps for both Android and Apple are available) and have links to your account on your computer. From there you can see our schedule and the passes you have purchased very easily.
Continued Evolution Of Classes
We have been working hard to implement some big changes to the way that we schedule and organize our classes. Most of those changes are made possible by our booking system, but we have revamped everything so that beginning in February we will have greater flexibility in the way we schedule, the ways you can purchase passes, and where and when you can sign up for classes.
This month we are unveiling two of these changes to our classes. First, there is a new way to purchase classes called the Unlimited Pass. Beginning this February we will have options for our regular class participants to purchase 7 Day and 30 Day Unlimited Passes. These Unlimited Passes can be purchased at any time and will begin and end from the date of the first use. This option will make it affordable for you to really commit to a fitness program and makes since for anyone taking more than three classes a week. Our Healthy Holidays special will be sold as our very first Unlimited Pass.
The second change we are implementing is in the length of our yoga classes. We will be changing all yoga class times to 75 minutes. This will part of a general movement to separate the 60 min. fitness classes and the yoga classes in structure. In the past, we merged the times of regular fitness classes and our yoga classes to match the capacity of our booking system. Now that we have both a more capable booking system and an additional certified yoga teacher, we will get back to offering the deeper components of relaxation, breath work and meditation that set yoga apart.

2010 Nov. Advent Newsletter
The Holy Apostle Phillip
November 14, 2010
Dear Friends of Annapolis College Ministry (ACM):
I write to you with great thanksgiving! Through your faithful contributions, we have been able to expand the ministry to the students at St. John's and the Naval Academy in accordance with the vision that we presented to you earlier this year. We have six inquirers and catechumens journeying to Christ and His Church at this time. Twenty additional persons have come to the Orthodox Faith through this ministry over the past several years. Here's a brief summary of some of our regular ministry activities on (and off) the campuses that you help make possible:
- Tuesday Small Compline and Fellowship at the USNA
- Wednesday Women's Bible study at St. John's
- Wednesday Daily Vespers and Teaching at St. John's (all welcome)
- Wednesday Bible study on the Acts of the Apostles (all welcome)
- Friday Bible study at the USNA
- Friday Men's Bible study at St. John's
- Friday evening fellowship dinner (St. John's)
- Every other Saturday Vigil, Teaching, and Potluck Dinner at St. John's (all welcome)
- Every other Sunday Orthodoxy Course, entitled, "Worshiping the Undivided Trinity: Exploring the Orthodox Christian Faith" for those already Orthodox and for catechumens
- Once monthly Divine Liturgy on campus with visiting priest
- I hold individual meetings with students Wednesdays and Friday afternoons, and other days, as scheduled or needed.
- Fall Retreat—Columbus Day weekend
As you can see, this is very much a full-time ministry. Your contributions enable us to provide the students with these many regular ministry opportunities to grow in their faith, and makes it possible for others to come to Christ and His holy Church. Ably assisted part-time by our intern, Thomas Browning, and my wife, Matushka Krissy, we are able to provide the students and others with one of the most dynamic college ministries in the Orthodox Church. Praise God!
We were greatly blessed to have His Beatitude, Metropolitan JONAH visit us on September 29. Vladyka spoke to a large crowd of some 30 students and others over tea, followed by Vespers and a dinner with our Acts Bible study group.
God willing, I will be ordained to Christ's holy priesthood under the omophorion of His Beatitude, Metropolitan JONAH (OCA) on December 5 (St. Sabbas). Please keep me in your prayers as I enter the priesthood. I am excited and humbled at the prospect of being able to offer the students even more ministry. Having Divine Liturgy in Annapolis, being able to hear confessions, and minister more fully to the students will mean increased opportunities to help them grow and own their faith, particularly at the USNA, where a number of restrictions make that more challenging. We have already seen large groups of students, including a greater number of midshipmen, coming to our monthly Divine Liturgies in Annapolis.
Living in this area is expensive. We live 30 minutes from the campuses to keep our living costs down on our tight budget. We are eagerly expecting our first child in April. Can you help us make ends meet so that we can continue to faithfully minister more than full-time to the students? Over the last seven years of this ministry, God has miraculously provided for us. You, our partners in this ministry, are a great part of that miracle! I need to ask each one of you to prayerfully consider increasing your monthly contribution. Even an extra $10 or $5 a month can add up and make a big difference in helping us meet our budget needs, which are increasing with baby on the way. Please keep us in your prayers and please also keep us in mind as you consider your Nativity Fast alms giving.
May Christ our God bless you this Advent and Nativity Fast! We are so grateful to God for you!
Your fellow servant, in Christ our God,

WARNING: This post is for ADULT EYES ONLY.
If you think Moms Who Drink And Swear: True Tales Of Loving My Kids While Losing My Mind was written by some crazy, unintelligent mother, then you couldn't be more wrong. The author, Nicole Knepper, has a master's degree in professional counseling psychology and a master's degree in gerontology. The inspiration for this book come from her popular blog http://www.chicagonow.com/moms-who-drink-and-swear/
I laughed so much reading this book, and recommend it to ALL mothers. I also recommend this book to men, it will help you to better understand women – especially moms.
Here's the back blurb:
"If you feel like your kids are killing you, you've come to the right place.
Attention all potty-mouthed, cheap-wine-drinking mothers: Prepare to meet your match. Any bad thought you've had about your kids. Nicole Knepper has had worse. Much worse. It's not that she doesn't love her kids. It's that she understands what a mind-f*?% it can be to try to civilize those wild little beasts."
To give you a better picture of the book, here are the names of some of the chapters:
Girlfriends, Genitals and Growing Up
Kitty's Got PMS – this chapter includes the "hat trick" of free info for men
The Vagina Dialogues
Fuck You Dinner, Make Yourself
Dinner is Like Herpes
Caring for Children without Crushing Their Souls
Suck it, Santa Claus
Quotes from the book:
"…Sometimes I am just overwhelmed by how much I'm needed" page 56. I have had this exact same thought at least once a day for the past ten years.
"The girl can film and edit a stop-motion Littlest Pet Shop video on her iPad, but she can't pour herself a glass of orange juice because it's too hard?" HAHAHAHA! My son can also make stop-motion videos, and yet will not get himself a glass of milk! Oh please, give me the patience.
The relationship Nicole had with her father reminded me of the relationship I had with my late step father, Roger. He was my step dad from when I was about eight years old until he died when I was twenty-one. Nicole writes: "And I really miss fighting with him: our competitive and never-ending attempts to prove each other wrong and push each other's buttons were truly vital to our relationship. It was through all these battles, disagreements and fiery , intense conversations that our mutual love and respect for each other grew into an important relationship." page 133
Nicole gave me, as a mom, the ability to accept my mistakes and realize no one is perfect. We are not alone. Being a mom is hard, we all have our own way of dealing with challenges – and as long as we aren't hurting anyone or ourselves, then we need to stop judging each other for every single parenting decision.

First, a little background: insurance provider The Hartford performed an analysis that identified the top 10 small business insurance claims by frequency and expense. We looked at those findings and wondered if there was anything that business owners could do to cut their risk. Could they lessen the cost of an accident? Could they prevent a claim from happening at all?
Turns out, the answer is "Yes!" We talked with industry experts, did some research, and found 59 ways that small-business owners can both lower the cost of a claim and lower the chances of a claim occurring in the first place.
Call them tips, call them insights, call them "small business insurance hacks" – these methods may help your business survive the top 10 costliest claims it's most likely to encounter.

Birdie was invited to a birthday party this evening. When she came home a few days ago with the invitation I had in my hand a chevron blankie I had just started. Crocheting the chevron stitch is a newly acquired skill for me. I felt proud. I had thought that the stitch pattern would make a cute scarf, so I asked Bird if I could crochet a scarf for Jaida's birthday present.
I used yarn out of my stash and the Easy Ripple Afghan pattern because, of all of the chevron stitch patterns I saw, it had the easiest (for me, anyway) instructions for creating the chevron. I soon had a scarf that received rave reviews from 3 of my 4 girls (Tessa was neither here nor there on the issue).
Then I decided it needed a hat, so I went looking for a crochet hat pattern that was uncomplicated enough for my poor little brain to decipher. My quest was unsuccessful so I just made one up as I went along. Its popularity among my little crowd led me to sit down, write out how I made it, and promise to make more in the near future. I'll put the directions here too, in case anyone else is interested.
Start with color A (white, in this case)
CH 3, join, CH 2 (to form the loop)
1. DC 12 stitches around loop, CH 1, join, CH 2
2. DC next ST, 2 DC each remaining stitch, CH1, join, CH2
3. DC each ST around, CH 1, join, CH 2
4. repeat round 2
5 - 9. repeat round 3
10. change to color B (variegated), repeat round 3
11. change to color A, repeat round 3
12 - 14. color B, repeat round 3
15. color A, repeat round 3
16. color B, repeat round 3
17 - 18. color A, HDC around all ST, CH 1, join, CH 1

While Utah's Sundance Resort is an enchanting ski area, it's also a western-style four season destination that peaks in summer with concerts, plays, film screenings, hiking and other activities. And, of course, it's the site of the annual Sundance Film Festival in January.
A few friends and I arrived in late February along with the season's biggest snowfall, which dumped a foot of snow overnight and more during the day, blanketing the mountain with deep powder.
Although this is a snow sport lover's haven, you don't have to be a skier to enjoy Sundance, which is owned by Robert Redford (who also has a home on the property). He bought the resort in 1969 and shaped it into an intimate, sustainable mountain arts community with plenty of outdoor and indoor activities to be enjoyed year-round.
Nestled at the base of 12,000-foot Mount Timpanogos, the property has a gurgling river running through it and is decked out with hillside lodging, spa facility, gourmet restaurants, art shack, screening room, general store and market with deli.
Locals refer to Redford as "Bob" and say he is very involved, from hand building two fireplaces in the signature Tree Room restaurant and naming ski trails to overseeing restaurant and spa menu items. Unfortunately, we never did see him but we fell in love with his resort, where "Jeremiah Johnson" was filmed (inspired, I watched this movie again after I got home).
Cottages are situated throughout the mountain. Mine was in the Mandan development, a cluster of rustic yet luxurious cottages sporting Native American arts and crafts, stone fireplaces, and plush furnishings (the bed will seduce even the worst insomniac). My favorite spot to enjoy the expansive mountain views was from the private wooden deck. My cottage was near The Spa at Sundance, where I indulged in a lovely stone massage, which began with a foot soak in front of a crackling fire.
Sundance Village
To meet my group for dinner in the Sundance Village, I walked along a paved nature trail that meandered among trees and along the river cradled by snowy banks. A big part of Sundance's charm is the focus on nature and the arts, so it was only fitting that we were introduced to Jerry Hill, a longtime employee and storyteller. We gathered at the Tree Room (so named for the actual blue spruce tree inside), popular for regional cuisine paired with wine including Sundance Label Wines.
"He (Redford) is the nicest guy and he's more involved in the mountain than people think. He's very involved artistically," said Hill, pointing out western memorabilia from Redford's personal collection.
For a nightcap, we walked to the Owl Bar, which houses the original 1890's rosewood bar favored by Butch Cassidy's Hole-in-the-Wall Gang.
Family-Friendly Slopes
A foot of snow fell overnight, blanketing the mountain with deep powder. Sundance's 45 ski runs are accessible via an old school quad and two triple chairs. I skied with a mountain host, Sharlyn, who pointed out that beginners can use a free rope tow while learning to ski. It's where her four kids learned to ski. The mountain offers enough challenging terrain for intermediate and expert skiers yet is contained in size, making it easy to rendezvous with family members and friends.
We regrouped for lunch at the Foundry Grill, which serves western cuisine prepared over a wood-burning oven, rotisserie and grill for breakfast, lunch and dinner. This became our go-to restaurant for hearty sandwiches, pizza, mac n' cheese with bacon and tender steaks.
Art Classes
Honoring Redford's desire that guests experience an art class, we signed up for printmaking. The Art Studio also offers jewelry, pottery, drawing and photography workshops daily by appointment. I felt like a kid again as I dabbed paint on paper and made designs with pieces of netting, buttons, and other small objects.
Our instructor carefully wrapped each print, encouraging us to frame them once we got home for a memory of Sundance. As if I could forget.

Celebrity Fashion: Inspiring Us to Dress Better
Celebrities from different fields have always enjoyed an iconic status amongst us for different reasons. However, celebrity dressing styles are always etched in the minds of the people. We surely do look up to them when deciding on our looks and for fashion ideas. Though not all celebrities and their fashion styles can be imitated and followed there are some celebrities whose fashion sense is certainly an inspiration to all of us. These are some of them who never fail in creating fashion trends.
Michelle Obama
The U.S First Lady has managed to capture the imagination of fashion lovers across the world right from the year 2008 when she came under the limelight. She has always maintained an all-American style but has managed to experiment with her clothes recently. Her dresses are a mix of different cuts and vivid colours. She is always an epitome of elegance. Her signature style knee length dresses have inspired millions to follow suit. With her powerful speeches, personality and an impeccable fashion sense Michelle Obama is a certainly an inspiration.
The Duchess of Cambridge: Kate Middleton
The Duchess can easily be considered as one of the most influential people in the fashion circles. Her fashion sense has been widely appreciated across the world. Though she is the fashion icon at any event exactly dressed for the occasion her casual looks have also scored high with people across the world. Her style has evolved from a conservative one to that of grace and elegance. Her dresses have inspired numerous designers and hordes of dresses similar to her style have been sold out in minutes. Her sense of style and fashion surely does inspire every person who wants to look good.
David Beckham: Football Fashion
Though it might have been his football skills which have created a huge fan following, his fashion sense also scores high amongst the people. He is one celebrity who is not afraid to experiment with his looks and has always created trends in fashion long before they are exhibited in fashion shows. He has even mastered the technique of making dull-looking sportswear appear fashionable. Be it his perfectly tailored suits or statement ties, they have managed to set trends across the world. His casual attires are mostly black which gives and instant slimmed down look. What has set him apart from other celebrities is his numerous hairstyles. The man bun, a side sweep or the buzz cut are some of his more famous haircuts that have been duplicated by men across the world. He is certainly one style icon that men can look up to and take inspiration from.
Though celebrity fashion and styles always look good and attractive for scores across the world, it cannot be said that they would look good on everyone. It is imperative that people who are inspired by celebrity fashion modify and adopt the style in such a manner that it suits them.

What to Pack for a Sailing Trip (For Her)
Are you looking forward to a relaxed trip, lazing in the sun as you cruise the crystal clear waters? A sailing trip is a luxurious way to spend a vacation, spending your time in little more than a bathing suit. You won't need to pack much for a yacht trip, nor will you have the space to!
So what do you pack? Here is a minimal list to help you out.
Soft luggage
A soft bag is easier to store than a hard one, especially where space is at a premium. Duffel bags works well and can be stored under the bed.
Rubber-soled shoes
Soft, rubber-soled shoes are essential when on a boat. The rubber will prevent you from slipping and hurting yourself and they will also stop you from leaving scuff marks behind. They don't have to be specifically boat shoes, there are plenty of cute options available.
Lightweight clothing
Take two bathing suits, that way you can wear one and let the other dry. Choose two-three dresses that you can simply throw over your bathing suit. Two pairs of shorts and 3 t-shirts or tanks for when you get to land – these are great for exploring or hiking. Pack a sarong for when you want to cover up a bit, and a scarf for covering your shoulders. Add a cardigan or light jacket for the chilly nights. And of course, underwear and sleepwear.
Accessories and toiletries
Good quality sunglasses are a must – you will be spending a lot of time outside, and the reflections off the water will be quite harsh. A wide-brimmed hat and a strong SPF sunscreen are also essential.
Pack your toiletries in travel size containers to save space. Eyedrops will be a lifesaver after all that exposure to salt water! And, just in case, pack some motion sickness tablets. You never know when sea sickness may strike.

* Stem cells grown on contact lenses could be a cure for a common cause of blindness, claim scientists. Australian researchers said that the world breakthrough could "dramatically improve" the sight of patients with damage to their cornea – the clear outer shell of the eye – caused by disease or injury.
The research team removed tissue with regenerative stem cells from patients' own eyes and then multiplied them in the laboratory on the surface of a contact lens. This was then placed back onto the damaged cornea for 10 days, during which the cells, which can turn into any other sort of cell, were able to recolonise and "patch" the damaged eye surface. Within weeks the patients saw dramatic improvements in their vision. If early findings bear out then the treatment could be affective for thousands of patients in Britain and is so cheap it could be used for millions more in the Third World.
* Artificial corneas grown in the laboratory were transplanted into patient's eyes for the first time in an operation, scientists reported. The new technique involved growing human tissue or collagen in the laboratory and then shaping it using a contact lens mould.
Damaged and scarred tissue from the front of the eye is then removed and the "biosynthetic" replacement is stitched in its place. Eventually existing cells and nerves in the eye grow over the artificial cornea incorporating it fully into the eye.
* Eye cells that are sensitive to light were produced from skin in a breakthrough that could eventually lead to treatments for blindness, scientists reported in August. Researchers genetically "reprogrammed" human skin cells to possess the same properties as those that make up the retina.
The process involved first turning them into pluripotent stem (IPS) cells, which have the potential to develop into virtually every kind of tissue in the body. By exposing the IPS cells to a specific cocktail of chemicals, the scientists then caused them to grow into partially developed retina cells – the light-sensitive cells at the back of the eye which transmit nerve signals to the brain.
* Patients who were left blinded after chemical accidents have had their sight restored using corneas grown from their own stem cells, scientists claimed in June. In the largest study of its kind, Italian researchers said they restored the sight of patients left blinded or suffered severely impaired vision, after suffering chemical burns.
Experts said the study, undertaken between 1998 and 2007, offers new hope to the thousands of people who suffer chemical burns on their corneas from heavy-duty cleansers or other substances at work or at home. The research is also being hailed as a key breakthrough in scientific regeneration that could give hope to other patients with otherwise irreversible eyesight.
* Also in June, a new study suggested a simple way to stop you eyesight deterioriating - drinking red wine. Researchers have found that a substance found in grapes and other fruits could protect blood vessels in the eye being damaged by old age. It is effective because the compound, known as resveratrol, stops the blood vessels from being damaged.
The substance, which has been linked to anti-ageing and cancer protection in the past, is believed to work because it protects against abnormal angiogenesis – the formation of damaged or mutated blood vessels. This condition is linked to cancer, heart disease and eye diseases such as age-related macular degeneration. In the study, reported in the New England Journal of Medicine, researchers successfully extracted adult stem cells from healthy eye tissue before growing additional stem cells that were placed over damaged eye tissue.
* Gene therapy was used by American scientists to improve the vision of children with hereditary blindness. US doctors treating 12 patients with a rare genetic eye disorder were able to significantly improve vision in the youngest, according to medical journal The Lancet. The research, which builds on work carried out by doctors at London's Moorfields Eye Hospital, focused on Leber's congenital amaurosis (LCA), a disorder which causes gradual deterioration in vision and can lead to blindness by the time the patient is 20. It occurs when faulty genes, called RPE65, stop the layer of cells at the back of the eye working and affects approximately one in 80,000 people. It is responsible for one in 10 severe sight disorders in children.
* Scientists cured colour blindness in monkeys, in what some were signalling has new hope for millions of sufferers of the condition. Researchers reported last September that they cured the animals using a treatment called gene therapy. A harmless virus which delivers corrective genes to the retina was injected into the eyes of two squirrel monkeys, Dalton and Sam, who had been colour blind since birth. Within weeks a protein produced by the corrective genes allowed both monkeys to make out reds and greens for the first time. They can still see the colours two years later. The breakthrough could also have implications for other damaging genetic eye defects, including those which can cause blindness, after researchers proved for the first time that the brain can "rewire" itself to see things it has never been able to before.
* A new eye drop treatment was offered to help preserve the sight of thousands of people at risk of going blind due to glaucoma, scientists reported. The drops were first of their kind that avoid unpleasant side effects which deter up to a third of patients from continuing their treatment.
Many patients simply refuse to apply the drops because of the discomfort, thereby putting themselves at risk of vision loss. Regular use of the eye drops can keep the condition under control for a patient's life time. Without them, a patient can go blind in five to 10 years. When the disease becomes too advanced the only remedy is surgery, which is risky and may itself result in blindness.
* In July last year, a man who was blinded in an accident at work saw his wife for the first time after his tooth was transplanted into his eye to restore his sight. Martin Jones, 42, a builder, had been blind for 12 years after a tub of white hot aluminium exploded in his face as he worked at a scrapyard. He married his wife Gill, 50, four years ago but had not seen her until after the delicate eight-hour operation to return the gift of sight. The rare procedure meant that one of Mr Jones' front teeth was removed and used as a lens holder in his right eye.
* Scientists in November 2008, found a way to regrow damaged optic nerves, which was claimed to open the door to possible new treatments for people who have lost their sight though injuries to the cells. By turning off proteins that keep nerve cell growth in check, researchers were able to stimulate regrowth in mice with damaged optic nerves.

They not only had a keen understanding of our needs, they knew how to best take care of our investment, and did so with a clean professional look as well.

NEW DELHI: Fears on the rampant use of pre-natal sex determination technology in rural areas have been confirmed with census data indicating that child sex ratio (CSR) fell far more sharply in villages than in urban areas in the last decade. According to provision data on population, though the urban CSR is far worse than that in rural areas, the fall in CSR in rural areas is around four times than that in urban areas.Full review

There are times when we want (and need!) a break from whisky, whisky sampling or anything whisky related and last weekend was one such occasion. We were lucky enough to be invited to sample some of the creations of Alchemist Dreams - a London based artisan liqueur maker who produces and blends each bottle by hand.
Alchemist Dreams was started at the turn of 2011 by chemistry graduate Ruth Ball (pictured, left). After completing her Masters degree, Ruth decided to use her skills in a creative way and the idea of producing bespoke liqueurs was born late one evening (we say - all the best ideas are formulated at these time and normally after a couple of drinks! After all, Whisky For Everyone was one such idea!). The formation of Alchemist Dreams followed and now Ruth offers the service of creating your own flavourings via www.alchemistdreams.co.uk, each of which she then blends by hand to your specifications.
Following a chance meeting a couple of months ago with Ruth in a north London wine shop, where she was doing a sampling session, we were kindly invited to Alchemist Dreams HQ to see some blending in action and to taste some of the flavours that she has within her catalogue. So, last Sunday we headed to Ruth's lovely Victorian terraced house on the edge of a leafy square in south London to learn about the art of blending liqueurs. Our friend Tom also joined us.
After a welcoming cup of tea, Ruth started to explain how she makes her base liqueurs - these are the elements which are used to construct the final liqueurs. She uses an organic neutral grain spirit for this, which she receives at an alcoholic strength of 95% ABV. Each of the base ingredients - be it fruit, herb or spice - are then placed in the alcohol to infuse their flavour, colour and aroma (above - the image shows blackberries after two days). They are then assessed daily for progress. Ruth has established the optimum time for each ingredient and these range from just two days for rose petals to one month for cocoa nibs. The colour starts leeching out almost instantly and tricks the eye in to thinking that the liqueur may be ready, but it is Ruth's experience gained through extensive experimentation that determines when the flavour profile has reached its peak and the infusion is then stopped.
The liqueurs are split in to two categories for blending - bases and accents. The bases are all fruit infusions and are used as the foundation for each liqueur, with the accents being herb or spice infusions that are more concentrated in flavour. These are used in small amounts as essences to compliment the base flavours, similar to the use of essences and oils in the perfume industry. For the list of the base and accent flavours - click here. Once the alcoholic base and accents are blended together at the 95% ABV strength, Ruth mixes these with a combination of sugar syrup and water to produce the final liqueur. Each liqueur has a final strength of 19% ABV.
Ruth has four house blends that she has created and sells via her website and at various trade fairs and markets. In addition to this, she offers the service where the customer can choose a base and a set of accents, which she then blends together to create a unique liqueur each time. Ruth is always experimenting with different infusions and combinations of infusions and we were particularly excited and surprised when she invited us to create our own flavour combinations. To help us, she provided us with a selection of test tubes holding some of the accent herbs and spices (pictured, above).
Suddenly, we were having to think about flavours and building flavours in a different way! Matt was first up and tried to use some basic principals from the recent Master of Malt blending exercise. His liqueur used orange as the base with coffee as the accent, which Ruth then blended with the syrup/water. It was a little bitter when taken straight but was better with a splash of tonic. Karen then decided on a combination of raspberry, rose and black pepper, which when mixed with the syrup/water created a deliciously fresh and summery liqueur. This was lovely and delicate when mixed with tonic. Tom, being a bit of a gin fan, decided to go against convention and not use a fruit base but three accents - vanilla, juniper and dash of wormwood. Ruth added a relatively high percentage of sugar syrup to compensate for some expected bitterness and it worked a treat. This liqueur was very gin-like and went very well with tonic and was tangy and refreshing.
We had a great and fun afternoon with Ruth, who is offering something new, fresh and unique to the market. It is great to see someone using their high level of skill in a non-conventional, enthusiastic and creative way (or "better than analysing samples of paint in a lab" to use her words!). So if you fancy making your own flavoured liqueurs or want to buy a present for someone, then pay www.alchemistdreams.co.uk a visit. At this time orders are only available for UK residents, but if you are based outside of the UK (and are over 18 years of age!) we urge you to take a look anyway! We would like to thank Ruth for her time and hospitality.

Colin on Female Reaction on Captain Hook
Shiver me timbers – actor Colin O'Donoghue is about to embark on his most swashbuckling role yet.
The 32-year-old hunk has been described as the sexiest ever Captain Hook after landing a role in hit American fantasy drama Once Upon A Time.
The show is set in a world that straddles the land of make believe and modern day, where ordinary people like Killian Jones, played by Colin, find out that they have another life in a fairytale land.
And Louth man Colin says he's enjoying every minute of filming in Vancouver.
He said: "It's great fun, it is a great show to work on.
"I auditioned for the role – I read the script and I really thought I could do something maybe slightly different than had been done before with Captain Hook.
"I met Eddie and Adam the creators and they seemed to like my ideas and what I wanted to do with Killian."
And creating a bad guy with a difference was an easy task for Colin.
He said: "I wanted him to be charming, a good laugh and all those types of things.
"I wanted him to be the kind of guy you would want to hang out with but also have a ruthlessness to him.
"That was the way I saw the character – he was less just a villain and more kind of in it for himself.
"He more or less focuses on doing things to make his own life better. He is a very selfish kind of character.
"I like his complexity – he does some very bad things but he also has the potential to be very good."
Dressed in his leather gear with a good dose of eyeliner, Colin looks very much the part – so much so that his performances have already garnered a serious female following in America.
But Colin, who is married to his childhood sweetheart Helen, doesn't seem too comfortable with the tag.
He said: "I don't know how that is supposed to make you feel – I guess it's nice that people like the character though.
"And I am enjoying the work, I have been in Vancouver since last August.
"Helen works at home in Drogheda but she does come out to visit me and it is great fun.
"I get home as often as I can but she enjoys coming over too. I think if you are interested in film and TV shows and seeing how they work it is an interesting thing to do to see the sets and behind the scenes.
"I get home whenever I get a break and in a couple of weeks we wrap up shooting – so I will be heading home for a bit and I am looking forward to seeing my family and friends then."
Getting used to the gear for the show was easy for Colin who had a novel use for his famous hand accessory.
He said: "I have a hook alright – I started to get used to it quite early and I am able to use it as a coffee cup holder.
"There's all kinds of pirating and swashbuckling activities going on. There's plenty of piratey things to do so you see plenty of swinging from the rafters.
"There is a stunt guy for the more crazy things but you have to keep fit too – I go to the gym, I train up and eat healthily, all that kind of stuff."
The story of how Killian Jones gets his hook will be revealed in the new series of Once Upon A Time which begins on Channel 5 on April 7 at 9pm and will follow next month on RTE.
And Colin said Robert Carlyle's Rumplestiltskin character will have something to do with it.
Becoming the captain of a pirate ship is every little boy's dream and Colin reckons he's lucky to be able to live out his childhood fantasies and get paid at the same time.
He added: "I think every young fella wants to be a pirate – I grew up watching Peter Pan the cartoon and Hook! – that film with Robin Williams which came out when I was a kid.
"I used to play around at being a pirate and now I actually get to do it as my job – when you are standing on a proper ship dressed all in your leather gear out at sea, I do have to pinch myself sometimes.
"I can't help thinking: "This is crazy, I am actually on a pirate ship dressed as the captain."
Although there's a lot of action, Colin says it's not dangerous work.
He added: "It's shot very much the same as a film would be – there's a big green screen we shoot in for a lot of the fairytale land stuff so you get the same kind of release that you would doing a film.
"I am an actor and I love to act so this is a fantastic role.
"There's no real danger as it's all very well planned but people can look out for a few interesting moments with Hook and how he interacts with other people.
"I only come into it in episode four, The Crocodile, when you see the back story of Hook and Rumplestiltskin and you find out how Killian Jones becomes Captain Hook, but I can't reveal any more than that.
"Robert plays Rumplestiltskin and I have always loved him – he was a bit of a hero of mine growing up after Trainspotting.
"We have an actual tall ship which we use for filming called The Lady Washington.
"It has been done up to look like the Jolly Roger so there I was in my pirate gear with the hook and the leather trousers, standing on deck with the sun shining and a backdrop of mountains sweeping down to the sea."
"It was stunning – that was a 'pinch me' moment."
As yet Colin and Helen don't have any kids of their own but he says hopefully his nieces will enjoy the programme.
He said: "I am looking forward to seeing everyone at home. It will be nice to get home and sleep in my own bed for a little bit."
But all this swashbuckling means that Colin has had to take time out from performing with his rock band The Enemies
He said: "I am not able to play with them at the minute but the lads are playing away – they are in America at the minute , they did the SXSW festival and a bit of a tour round a few places in Texas.
"They are going strong but I haven't been able to gig with them for a while. We'll see when I go back home.
"They might allow me to get up and do something with them, you never know."

If You're a Recruiter
So, you're filling a position that requires your prospective employee to be able to obtain a security clearance. This is a challenge that many recruiters face because, although your applicant may have the skills and qualifications to perform the job, he may not have the "background" that allows the government to trust this applicant with classified or sensitive information. The last thing you want to do is spend time and money hiring an…Continue

It feels like 2016 has only just begun but already the February half term is upon us and the annual Rye Scallop Festival is about to open its doors.
I often hear young people say to me that there isn't much to do in our area but, in fact, when looking into things to do locally, I couldn't disagree more. Right here in our local area there are a number of Cubs, Guides, Scouts, Rainbow and Boys Brigade troops. For those a bit older there are sea cadets, air cadets, army cadets and others. These clubs are a great way for our local young people to make new friends and spend time doing different activities they may not otherwise have had a chance to experience. It also gives kids the opportunity to acquire all sorts of useful skills that they will retain for a lifetime. Many years ago, more than I care to admit, I was a Brownie myself! I enjoyed the sense of camaraderie when we all put on our uniforms, the variety of outdoors events we did, the team exercises, the tremendous fun we all had and the friendships I forged.
Such youth organisations offer immensely valuable and enjoyable opportunities for young people to share new experiences and become active citizens in the community. As a child, I didn't fully appreciate the commitment shown by the adult volunteers who made it all possible and gave their time so freely. Now, having met so many of the volunteers and groups of youths over the years with such big smiles on their faces, including the large number of cadets I have met at various local events including Remembrance Sunday I can truly appreciate the passion they have about what they are doing and the experiences they are sharing together. I strongly recommend children and teenagers to consider joining one of these clubs, there are so many to choose from locally. http://www.1066online.com/community/youth.php
Just last week, I joined local dignitaries and members of the public to see the opening of The Source - the new BMX and skateboard park on Hastings Seafront. It was fantastic to see the impressive work which has been completed over the previous twelve months to restore and renovate White Rock Baths. The building itself is a unique one; originally built as a Turkish Bath in 1876 and has been a cinema, swimming pool and ice rink. The ice rink closed in the early 90's and, since then, the whole place has lay derelict, hidden from view, underground, right in the centre of Hastings. The main skate park is actually set inside the old Swimming pool and I could still see some of the old, unusual mosaics on the walls - the perfect example of retaining the beauty of the past and combining it with modern innovation to create something truly unique.
After being given the go-ahead by Hastings Borough Council on 9 June 2014, local business partners and brothers, Richard and Marc Moore of The Source Hastings Ltd, developed this world class facility, creating 30 jobs in the process! - a brilliant addition to the continued regeneration of Hastings, which will further improve our seafront and attract visitors to the town. The project is a great example of the local community and Government - through the Regional Growth Fund and Coastal Communities Fund - working together to establish a great new facility for young people to go to after school or work, to socialise and take part in extra-curricular community activities. For more details about The Source Park, visit www.sourcebmx.com.
Moreover, this week, Ore Station Pocket Park was announced by the Communities Minister Marcus Jones MP to be one of more than 80 unloved and neglected urban spaces across the country which will be transformed into green oases for everyone to use. This will give our local residents even more space to relax, get together and provide a safe space for their children to play.
From encouraging participation in youth groups, where valuable skills can be learned, to providing the very best facilities for young people to practice their hobbies and talents, it's vital to build a community where opportunity is more equal, with stronger communities and young people who have the experiences to get out there and take on the world.

You are here: Manchester Confidential › Entertainment & Sport › Events & Listings.
One of this season's hottest looks is that of the Grecian goddess, but if armour plated bras and drafty togas aren't really your bag then take a look at these goodies to bring out the warrior princess in you.
Toga to die for:
Katie Holmes and Jennifer Lopez are just a couple of the starlets gracing the red carpets in this spring's togatastic styles. For this look think neutral tones and swathes of fabric that gift-wrap your body in a relaxed and feminine fashion. Be careful not to drown yourself in baggy styles, instead go for something like this empire line option from www.asos.com. It's just £35 and looks fab teamed with some chunky wedges and wooden accessories.
Warrior sandals:
If the all over toga is a little too much for you, then why not let your feet do the talking. Warrior sandals have been around for a couple of seasons now and celebs such as Sienna Miller and Mischa Barton are firm followers. The masculine feel of this footwear means it is essential that it is worn with a more feminine outfit. Try Primark and Warehouse for some of the best floral tea dresses around. These little beauties are from Moda in Pelle and are £50. My top tip is to go for a neutral colour so that it will mix and match with all the soft summer shades in your wardrobe.
Metallic minx:
Accessories are a great way to achieve an up-to-date look with minimum effort and the Grecian style is no exception. Go for oversized bushed metallics and think chokers, medallions and cuff bracelets. Gold is better if your skin has a yellow tone to it and silver if your appearance is a little pinker. This stunning coin statement necklace is £18 from Accessorize and would look fab worn with any of this season's soft mix tops or dresses.
Top it off:
For a more relaxed look try a tunic style top with Grecian style details. Pop it with some skinny jeans or a wide leg linen trouser and metallic flip-flops for a funky daytime look. This nifty neutral number is £28 from Top Shop, but check out Monsoon and Miss Selfridge for similar styles.So girls grab your shield and hit the shops. The key to this look is not to go overboard with it. Choose one of the above and mix it into your existing styles. If you go head to toe, just beware that you run the risk of being grabbed as a roman guide around Chester.

My book on Express.js is published
I have been blogging about Express.js for quite some time now. Early this year, I was contacted by Packt, enquiring me if I'd be interested in writing a book on Express.
A year ago, I had this idea to write a book on Express, which would be titled "Mastering Express.js", and worked out an early-stage table of contents for it. So when Packt contacted me, I told them that I would, in fact, be very interested in writing a book on Express. Since Packt had decided on the title "Express Web Application Development", I had to go along with it; but I was given complete control over the content.
It took me about five months of weekend time to complete the book, and the book was finally published on 25th June, 2013.
The book retains the usual beginner-friendly nature of my blog posts, but includes all the technical details a more experienced developers might expect from a book on Express. Overall, it covers Express and the relevant technologies thoroughly, and is a must-read for anyone who wants to take their Express.js skill to the next level.
The writing process was quite an experience; I got to learn many things about authoring and how the publication industry works.
I have created a website for the book at http://expressjs-book.com/. It has a forum where each chapter of the book can be discussed in as much detail as we want. Also, it is very likely that I will be posting all future posts related to Express on the forums.
The book had to be tightly focused around Express and its core relevant technologies, in the process I could not cover some of the stuff which I would have want to cover otherwise. However, I can sense a supplementary book coming out sometime next year.

Upset and pounded the ground,
decided to give you some grass.
Not in Colorado,
so this is not the kind you smoke while sitting on your ass.
This lass has dirt underneath her cuticles,
she didn't know how to respond.
This was her reply when you flirted and called her beautiful.
She gave you a gift from the Earth.
This had an underlying meaning.
This was a perk for her giving birth.
Had to skip all the bar's pints and quarts,
so she thought it was fitting to gift you some grass and dirt.
