Axle/Hub for Lego wheels
Connects Round, D, or Hex motor shaft to Lego splined axle wheels, or gears.
Fully parameterised to customise for different wheels and shafts.
Originally to connect M3 motor shaft on Tajima motor/gearbox kit to Lego splined axle wheels.
Printed at 0.2mm layers on UP!.
Setup to build 45degree overhangs with no support. Trim dimensions for exact fit.
Motor shaft hole can be Round, D, or Hexagonal.
Uses metal hex threaded standoff for M3 connection
standoff is M3x10mm x5mm across flats JAYCAR HP0900
standoff is press fit into hex hole. Hole has domed ceiling so prints without support.
Lego axle design has keyholing to get cleaner inner corners than a simple cross, on the UP
Has provision for two Flanges that can directly engage the inner surfaces of the wheel rim to provide support
as the printed axle is prone to shearing under load.
It is intended that the flange/s are interference fit into the hub parts,
and that the wheel is forced all the way down the axle to the flange so the axle is not cantilevered
Intended for insertion from the deep side of the wheel hub
Dimensions for two types of wheel in here, see photo. Note the larger type is suitable for both types of wheel.
To remove, it is recommended to press the spline out to start, rather than try to pull it out.

I've started drinking fresh homemade pineapple water since t
Patient : I've started drinking fresh homemade pineapple water since the 22nd of April, only a bottle full every day. I cut the pineapple up in slices and placed them in a gallon of water then let it sit for hours. I weighted myself on Thursday (April 23rd) and it said I was 223 pounds. Then on Saturday, it said 219.6, and now today (which is 28th of April) the scale is saying I'm 216.0. I want to know if I'm actually losing some weight? I have not been eating that much because I want to lose weight. I don't eat the required calories (as in I track my foods with MyFitnessPal app) sometimes because I'm afraid I would over eat. But at times, I do not feel hungry. Should I stop with the pineapple water?
Symptoms: Rapid weight loss, not hungry, not drinking that much water a day

What Miss Colombia actually lost by not winning Miss Universe
by December 24, 2015 6:14 am0
In an appointment that lasted for even less time than South Africa's four-day finance minister David van Rooyen, Miss Colombia, Ariadna Gutierrez on on Sunday was crowned Miss Universe for a couple of minutes after comedian and host Steve Harvey misread the envelope – side-lining Miss Philippines, Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach – the winner.
The embarrassing live television error has since been trending on social media with an abundance of memes and jokes.
Wrong #MissUniverse crowned last night. For 2 minutes. Remember when that happened with our President in 2000 & we had to keep him 8 years?
Posted by Bette Midler on Monday, December 21, 2015
Very sad what happened last night at the Miss Universe Pageant. I sold it 6 months ago for a record price. This would never have happened!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 21, 2015
You couldn't have paid me to care about Miss Universe competition before this. I love Steve Harvey. And both contestants too, now, actually
— Mindy Kaling (@mindykaling) December 21, 2015
But how do we quantify this error beyond the reputational damage and discomfort it has been for the pageant contestants? By looking at what Miss Colombia missed out on.
We are all Miss Universe
— John Berman (@JohnBerman) December 21, 2015
According to the Miss Universe 2015 statement, the prize package includes: a year-longsalaryas Miss Universe; luxuryaccommodation in a New York City apartment for the duration of her reign, including living expenses; a one-yearscholarshipfrom the New York Film Academy College of Visual Performing Arts.Extensive travelrepresenting sponsors and charitable partners; access tovarious New York City eventsincludingcasting opportunities, movie premiers, screenings, Broadway shows andlaunch parties;and personal appearance wardrobe and styling by the official Miss Universe Organizationfashion stylist.

Henpower is a project managed by Equal Arts, a registered charity who aim to provide creative opportunities for older people. The project is funded through Big Lottery Fund Silver Dreams programme. Henpower aim to set up hen keeping in older peoples care settings to offer fun and stimulating activities, this ranges from residents, families to other independent living older people.
Each care setting is supported by a small network of volunteers who either know about hens or enjoy looking after them. Each project has weekly activities based around hen keeping which can include: creative writing, digital photography, local history or other creative activities that residents may want to try out.
For more information on Henpower and the inspiring work that they do, please see links below:
Harlow Green are thrilled to be working with Henpower. We hope our project will span through the generations and bring the young and old working together. The hensioners (hentastic pensioners) have already paid a few visits into school, bringing along their passion and knowledge which they have been sharing with our children. We will be working with Henpower to develop a new coup to keep our new hens fit and healthy.
Our Local Project!
Some of the year sixes have been doing a project at a local sheltered housing community, Angel Court. This was a creative project in partnership with the Equal Arts council. The residents gave such a warm welcome and worked with the children sharing valuable skills and experience. Miss Rowe will be planning more activities with them and hopefully many other existing projects coming soon.

USC linebacker Dion Bailey played about two hours of football after he first suffered a concussion Saturday against Stanford.
Then, in the second overtime, he got hit again and couldn't continue on the field, asking out for freshman Tre Madden. Now, the redshirt freshman Bailey continues to sit out of practice while he waits to be fully cleared for competition by team trainers, but he insists he's not worried about the pile-up of what is now his third concussion over the last two years.
"Concussions are a part of football," Bailey said Wednesday. "We're out here banging and everything. You're bound to get one. Just hopefully you recover better than others."
He suffered his first concussion his senior year at Lakewood High in 2009, then another last year while redshirting for USC. Then, on Saturday, on a second-quarter hit in which he broke his chin strap, he started feeling a ringing sensation in his head but didn't the trainers until it worsened on the first play of the second overtime, when he got "knocked out."
USC didn't announce his injury, but as he walked out of the locker room after the game, he was clearly being bothered by something. He didn't respond to questions asked to him and altogether looked shaken.
It turns out that Bailey, USC's leading tackler, was taken to the hospital later that night for tests. He did not spend the night, but he's been taking post-concussion tests each day since the game to try to get cleared.
He hasn't yet, obviously. But he said Wednesday that he feels good, "much better than I did on Saturday night."
Now he just needs to feel a little bit better -- and show the trainers -- to be able to play in two days.
"I'm hoping that I get cleared to play," he said. "I'm doing all the things necessary to get 100 percent.
"I just have to pass a couple concussion tests on the computer and I'll probably get cleared to play on Friday."

I really like this concealer stick both in this color and the green. Works really well for my undereye coverage and other blemishes. Easy to apply and blends well for me. Nice and easy packing and small enough to keep in your purse. Recommend this if you are looking for a cheaper priced concealer.
Work's great for me! They had a shade that matched me well, and it doesn't seem to settle into the lines under my eyes like some other's do. This is a stick though, so it's not a liquid that you can apply with a brush easily. However, it does seem to go into the skin nicely. I recommend it!
It applies very easily and looks extremely natural which I simply loved, however as a pale face with dark under eyes it didn't really help the darkness. You can tell there's a difference but the overall coverage isn't the best.
Didn't too much care about this concealer .. don't plan on ever purchasing again .. didn't blend into skin like I like it to.. idk the consistency was weird ..
I have it! i recommend it but doesn't last all day, covers all imperfections although
Review for: Light
I really like this brand it was the first time i tried it. It's matched my skin tone really well, some days I just wear a little of this without anything else for a "no makeup" look!
Review for: Light
I bought this concealer stick at CVS and I have been using this product since. Never really used anything else. I use it to cover dark circles under eyes and blemishes. I recommend this product to anybody looking for a good concealer
Review for: Light
Loved the full coverage on this! This product has been on the shelves for years it is a classic . Easy to apply given its lipstick type packaging and blends beautifully with a beauty blender. Would definitely buy again
Review for: Light
This concealer is the best I've ever used, period. It's the perfect tacky consistency for spot treating and for sculpting out your eyebrows. It doesn't go too fast, so you don't need to buy these in bulk, but sometimes they're hard to find in store. I've used plenty of concealers for all the years I've ever worn makeup, and this one is literally the only one I swear by. It's the perfect shade for my skin and easily blends into foundation. It highlights under the brows very well and is thick enough to cover any dark spots and pimples. I go back to this product every time.
Review for: Light
Love this concealer so much! It's my go to concealer and it blends so perfectly into my skin and makes all of my acne disappear almost completely! It is long lasting and looks very natural tooB I definitely recommend buying this amazing concealer!
Is this affordable
What kind of brush works well with this product?
What other product is this comparable to?

SCOTUS Does Contraception
March 11, 2014
Simply put, the Supreme Court (SCOTUS) may very well decide the future of the Affordable Care Act's (ACA) contraception mandate. Under the ACA, companies must get workers insurance that includes contraception. Later this month, SCOTUS will hear arguments from a private company that objects to this mandate on religious grounds. Amy Davidson in The New Yorker sums it up this way: "Can any religious person who owns a company refuse to pay for insurance that would cover any health-care procedure or device that he or she doesn't believe in?"
The SCOTUS case is critically important. It is also confusing in the extreme. The Kaiser Family Foundation brought together experts today to discuss just how important the case is and to help bring clarity to the confusion. You can watch and get smart here.

Section 3j: School-based support staff
Rule Text
(j) "School-based support staff" means an employee of a school district, or of a school district contractor pursuant to WAC 392-121-188, who is supporting a student in an online course. The school-based support staff may or may not hold a teaching certificate.
The addition of the role of school-based support staff for online courses in the 2013 rule change is not an indication that the role of the certificated teacher is diminished in any way. It recognizes the role the school-based support staff play in facilitating communication between an online teacher and student as well as completing administrative tasks.

We may need all that time and more to prepare ourselves for what's to come in season two, when Claire (Caitriona Balfe) and Jamie (Sam Heughan) head to France to try and change some history and prevent a war, while also trying to recover from the traumas they endured at the end of last season.
That, however, is not all we have to look forward to in season two. Spoilers lie ahead for those of you who haven't read the books...

If you're anything like us, you're still a little giddy over the casting of Brianna that served as the official confirmation that we will, in fact, be meeting the daughter of Claire and Jamie.
Actress Sophie Skelton certainly looks the part, and it seems like she'll fit right in with fellow new cast members Richard Rankin (as Roger), Stanley Weber (as Comte St. Germain), Frances De La Tour (as Mother Hildegarde), Robert Cavanah (as Jared Fraser), and Laurence Dobiesz (as Black Jack's brother, Alex).
Now, if you'll excuse us, we're off to spend the next 1,368 hours watching, rewatching, reading, rereading, and dreaming about Outlander.
Outlander returns Saturday, April 9 at 9 p.m. on Starz.

Subject matter of the invention is a method and an arrangement for driving door installations wherein the acquisition and evaluation of persons in front of door installations is carried out with the goal of opening and closing door installations as a function of persons moving in front of the door installations.
Such method is disclosed for example with the subject matter of U.S. Pat. No. 4,249,207 A. In this known arrangement a so-called video entrance alarm is generated if one or several persons enter a specific monitoring area. For this purpose the monitoring area is divided into a specific number of subareas and an investigation is carried out regarding the presence or absence of persons in these cell-like subareas. According to the condition detected a corresponding alarm is subsequently triggered.
The invention is based on the task of further developing a method and a device of the above cited type such that with minimum expenditures one or several door installations in a building can be controlled as a function of the location, the direction of movement and the number of persons in front of these door installations.
To solve the task posed the invention is characterized by the technical teaching of claim 1 or claim 18.
It is a characteristic of the invention that initially in a first process step the space in front of the door installation is acquired with at least one video camera and specifically in such manner that first only the "empty space" is acquired. By the term "empty space" is understood that this space is acquired at a point in time at which no or only few motions by persons take place in this space. For example, the space to be monitored in front of the door installation is initially acquired by the video camera at a point in time at which substantially no motion takes place in this space, for example early in the morning or late in the evening wherein the stationary objects usually disposed in this space, such as for example planters, lampposts and the like, are acquired by the videocamera and the system learns the location and the configuration of these stationary objects.
As empty space is here defined if in the space to be monitored within a time period of approximately 3 to 4 seconds no motion of any kind takes place or is detected. Based on this, a so-called reference image is obtained which serves as a reference model of the empty space, i.e. the empty space with all its objects is stored as a model in a memory and serves as a measure of comparison.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention it is provided that the videocamera examines approximately every 3 to 4 seconds whether or not the space is empty and—should this be the case—creates a new reference model of the empty space. It is herein important that in these time intervals a complete new model of the empty space is not always created but rather that in an iterative approximation process this empty space is continuously approximated to the actual conditions. This means in practice that if no motion has been detected within the last 3 to 4 seconds, but new objects have been recognized as being stationary in the empty space, that this model of the empty space is only expanded and supplemented by the newly added stationary object.
After in a first process step a model of the empty space has been generated, the empty space is now continually and regularly observed with the videocamera in order to determine whether or not the space is in fact empty or whether a motion is taking place in this space.
If a motion is detected in this space, which can take place by evaluating the video image or can also be determined by including further signal sources, such as for example infrared detectors, weight sensors and ultrasound sensors, in the case of a non-empty space, i.e. in the event of acquired motion, determination takes place in a subsequent process step of whether or not the moving object is an object authorized to use the door installation and also intending to do so, for example a person.
For this purpose a pattern analysis of the moving contour is carried out, i.e. a moving person is only recognized as being a person if the moving contour covers a specific area and form and notion of the acquired contour resemble those of a human being. This means, for example, a moving baby carriage is not recognized as a moving person because the form of the baby carriage does not correspond to that of a person. However, the person pushing the baby carriage is recognized.
Moving animals (for example dogs or cats) are not recognized as moving person due to the differing motion contour and therefore the door installation is consequently also not driven unless the use of the door by these animals is intended.
After the acquisition and analysis of the motion contour in the previously described second process step, in the third process steps, as cited above, the motion contour of the person is analyzed. If it is recognized that this case is one of a moving person, the location of the moving person is determined in a fourth process step. It is herein important that first the distance of the person from the videocamera is determined. Based on this distance measurement the precise location in the space can subsequently be calculated, i.e. it is possible to specify in terms of coordinates precisely where the person in front of the door installation is located.
In a preceding process step it is also specified that the videocamera has, of course, also acquired, together with the acquisition of the empty space, a plan model of the space with the position of the door, and that this plan model is stored in a memory.
In a further, differing embodiment example it is provided that the plan model is not acquired by the camera (potentially also by another camera), but rather that the plan model is written through manual entry at a corresponding terminal into the memory of the computer where it is subsequently stored.
Based on the coordinates of the moving person and based on the comparison with the stored plan model, it is now readily possible to acquire the type and direction of movement of the moving person in front of the door installation.
In a further process step now the monitoring area is divided into different regions wherein at least one region is defined as that, upon entrance of which, the door installation is driven while other regions are present which do not lead to the driving of the door installation.
Only if the acquired motion model predicts that the person intends to enter or is entering the region of the monitoring area associated with the door installation, is an opening signal output to the door installation and the door installation is opened.
This region model has the advantage that the door installation is not opened if the videocamera, in connection with the above listed regions, acquires for example a person running past the door installation, who, based on the direction of movement and rate of movement, apparently does not intend to walk into the door installation. In this way with the novel process model it is achieved that the door installation is only driven to open or close if a person moving in front of the door installation is heading toward the door installation at the appropriate speed and direction of movement.
The opening and closing of door installations from the inside of the building takes place analogously so that on the inside of a building a corresponding monitoring installation can also be disposed which accomplishes the intelligent opening and closing of the door installation as a function of a person leaving the building.
In a further embodiment of the present invention it is provided that in a subordinated process step a determination takes place of the width of the person who is heading toward the door installation. It can herein be determined for example whether the person is pushing a baby carriage, whether the person is carrying several packages or has some other unusual opening requirement of the door. The wider the person, the wider the door installation can be opened and the door installation can accordingly only be opened far enough to ensure the easy and comfortable passage of the person moving in front of the door installation. For this entails the advantage that the door is only opened so far that the unnecessary heat and convective flow loss from the building to the outside is avoided.
It is likewise provided in a further development of the present invention that the start and/or the speed of door opening and/or door closing is driven as a function of location, direction of movement and especially by the rate of movement of the persons approaching the door installation. A person approaching the door installation rapidly and whose presence is acquired in the triggering door region, leads to a more rapid opening of the door wings than a person approaching relatively slowly in comparison.
In a further development of the present invention it is provided that light reflections in the monitoring area, for example on the floor, in the region of the walls of the door installations or on other containment walls are eliminated thereby that the videocamera operates with a polarization filter.
The potential casting of shadows by the persons to be monitored is recognized and eliminated thereby that particular recognition criteria can be associated with the shadow and thus can exclude the casting of a shadow such that effectively only the motion contour of the person to be monitored itself is acquired but not its light shadow.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention (arrangement) it is preferred if the camera is disposed approximately diametrically with respect to the door installation but in a somewhat raised position of, for example, 5 m above the ground because with this elevated position diametrically opposite to the door installation the advantage is achieved that with a camera disposed as high as possible a relatively small angle of view of the camera onto the person to be monitored is achieved, i.e. an extremely high-resolution recognition of the persons moving below the camera is possible.
It is understood that the invention is not limited thereto, several cameras can also be disposed whose angles of view also intersect wherein the camera image of several cameras is evaluated.
It is also possible to use a stereo camera instead of a single monocular videocamera. Assuming a predefined image area the image of the one camera can be transferred to the image to be expected from the second camera and by comparison of the calculated and effectively received image conclusions can be drawn regarding the presence and/or changes of objects in the image area.
Therein the predefined image area is adapted or newly selected in the course of successive image analyses based on the results available in each instance. It is possible to adapt or newly select further parameters such as for example image segment, frequency of image analyses, image resolution in the course of successive image analyses based on the particular available results wherein in order to achieve absolute operational reliability the data of elements multiply provided (for example several cameras) are utilized.
It is also provided that in addition to the videocamera, which opposes the door installation diametrically, still further cameras are disposed which, for example, are disposed laterally in front of the door installation.
In a further embodiment of the invention it is provided that with a camera disposed relatively low, for example at a level of approximately 2 m, a high observation point is achieved thereby that the camera image is deflected via a mirror disposed at a high level and the monitoring area is acquired from this mirror.
The subject matter of the present invention is evident not only based on the subject matter of the individual patent claims but rather based on the combination with one another of the individual patent claims.
All specifications and characteristics disclosed in the documents, including the abstract, in particular the spatial implementation depicted in the drawings are claimed as being essential to the invention to the extent they are novel individually or in combination relative to prior art.
In the following the invention will be explained in further detail in conjunction with the drawings representing only one embodiment path. Herein in the drawings and their description further characteristics and advantages essential to the invention are evident.
In the drawings show:
FIG. 1 schematically in top plan view the condition in front of a door installation;
FIG. 2 front view of the door installation according to FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 side view of the door installation according to FIGS. 1 and 2;
FIG. 4 first portion of the process diagram;
FIG. 5 second portion of the process diagram;
FIG. 6 schematically an evaluation image of the videocamera;
FIG. 7 by example the use of two parallel cameras (stereo camera).
In FIG. 1 as an example a door installation 1 of a building is depicted wherein a single-wing sliding door 2 is used. It is understood that this invention is not limited to the use of such a door installation. Instead of a single-wing sliding door, multi-wing sliding doors can be used, folding doors, lifting doors, revolving doors, pivot doors and similar further door models can be used. The issue in the present invention is thus substantially the opening and closing in an intelligent manner of one or several entrance openings 3 in a building as a function of persons 4 located in front of the door installation 1.
For this purpose the invention provides at least one videocamera 8 which opposes approximately diametrically the door installation 1 and which has an observation angle 9 defining a relatively large monitoring area 10. This monitoring area 10 should advantageously comprise the door installation 1 itself and a relatively wide side region of approximately 3 m on the left and right of the door installation in order to acquire and exclude reliably persons passing the door installation 1.
In the application example shown stationary objects 6, 7 are additionally disposed in the monitoring area 10 which can for example be planters or the like. Incidentally, the person 4 is moving in the direction of arrow 5 toward the door installation 1.
FIGS. 2 and 3 depict the same condition as FIG. 1, and it can be seen that the camera 8 can also be disposed at an elevated location above the ground 13. Herein the camera 8 is disposed at a height 11 above the ground 13 as well as at a distance 12 from the person 4 to be observed.
In FIG. 4 the various process steps are depicted in succession wherein the videocamera 8 initially creates at position 14 a model of the empty space. Reference is made to the general description in which was indicated that the monitoring area is recognized as empty space if within for example 3 to 4 seconds no motion takes place in this space.
At position 15 subsequently a model of the empty space is created and the videocamera 8 monitors simultaneously at position 16 this empty space to determine whether or not a motion takes place.
At position 17 it is examined whether or not the space is empty. If it is empty, further observation of it takes place, if it is not empty, the determination subsequently takes place at position 18 of whether or not the moving object is a person. In this connection reference is made to FIG. 6 where as the evaluation model the empty space is shown in the form of a raster and it can be recognized that a multiplicity of cells 19, 20, 21 is present with the cells being arranged like a matrix in rows and columns and as an example it is specified that cell 20 is filled with a stationary object, for example the stationary object 6, 7. In these monitoring spaces the person 4 to be acquired is recognized as a motion cluster covering a series of cells 21 with this motion cluster moving in the direction of arrow 5.
At position 22 now an analysis of the motion contour takes place. As motion contour is here understood according to FIG. 2 a motion cluster which covers for example five cells 21 with these cells being contiguous and moving uniformly for example in the direction of arrow 5.
If such motion pattern (motion contour) is detected, which moves uniformly in a specific direction, this cluster can be recognized as a human model.
Thus if it is recognized at position 22 that this is a moving human and a decision is made accordingly, then according to FIG. 5 at position 23 the distance 12 of the moving motion cluster is determined with respect to the videocamera 8. Based on it, a location determination of the moving person is subsequently carried out, wherein for example the location is specified in polar coordinates. Thus, the current position of the moving person in the monitoring area 10 is determined and simultaneously, based on the movement and the speed, a prediction is made of whether or not the person is entering the region of the monitoring area 10 associated with the door opening.
At position 24 initially a plan model of the space comprising also the position of the door is compared with the motion pattern of the moving person.
According to the general explanation this plan model was either entered manually at the keyboard or it is acquired with a videocamera and stored in a memory.
Now the plan model of the space is compared with the motion pattern of the moving person and at position 25 a check takes place of whether or not this person is entering a region of the monitoring area 10 which is associated with the opening of the door. This region is advantageously disposed directly in front of the door installation, preferably this door region is defined as a distance of 1 m to the left and right of the door opening and a distance of approximately 1.50 m in front of the door.
Thus if, based on the prediction according to number 23 and the further measurement of the motion profile of this person, this door area is entered, then according to FIG. 26 a decision is made that this door area has been entered and at position 27 the door is driven to open.
Herein it is additionally determined how fast the person approaches the door in order to adapt the time of the start and/or the speed of the door movement to this movement. This opening control at matching speed is however only cited as a further embodiment example of the invention with the invention being in general directed to the opening of the door.
FIG. 7 shows schematically the use of a stereo camera. Based on the image of the first camera 8 it is calculated what the second camera 28 should "see" under the precondition that the observed image segment 29 of camera 8 lies effectively in the image area 30 of camera 28. If the calculated image agrees with the image effectively "seen" by camera 28, an object lies effectively in the image plane acquired by both cameras 8, 28.
Reference has already been made in the general specification portion that in a further process step the space requirement necessary for the unhindered passage of the door installation, for example the width of a person moving toward the door installation, is also acquired. The opening of the door installation of the approaching person is varied accordingly.
If, in contrast, a mass grouping of persons occurs in the monitoring area, the decision is made only once of whether the persons are heading toward the door installation and the door is subsequently held open only once for a specific length of time. Analysis of the moving objects in the proximity of the door thus takes always place with the goal of controlling optimum responses of the door with respect to user friendliness, minimizing heat loss etc.
It is understood that the door installation is driven according to further parameters, such as for example by parameters of emergency opening, emergency closure, fire alarm, burglar alarm and similar parameters. The intelligent opening and closing of the door installation is thus only one operating model for a door installation for the normal case.
With the technical teaching according to the invention thus the substantial advantage is attained that ventilation and heat losses of door installations on buildings are optimally avoided because the door is adapted precisely to those requirements which are made of it if one or several persons want to enter or leave the building.
Therewith increased security is also given because the door, for example, does not close if persons are located in the door space, i.e. directly in the closure path of the door.

Captain Conan heads Sandown seven
Captain Conan and Tap Night are among the seven entries for the feature novice chase at Sandown this weekend.
Last Updated: 29/01/13 5:06pm
That left Nicky Henderson's Captain Conan as the headline act in the race better known as the Scilly Isles Novices' Chase, having already won at Grade One level.
In any other yard he would be a massive hope for the Arkle but with Simonsig also hailing from Seven Barrows, Henderson will be keen to see if the two-and-a-half-mile trip suits just as well.
Paul Nicholls has entered Rebel Rebellion rather than Unioniste, who was due to tackle Captain Conan in a novice chase which was subsequently scrapped due to a lack of runners.
Venetia Williams is enjoying a great season and her Houblon Des Obeaux has shown a smart level of form this season.
Changing Times is progressing for Nigel Twiston-Davies, while Lucinda Russell has put in the smart Tap Night, who also holds two entries at Musselburgh on Sunday.
Top Smart and Third Intention complete the list.
Russell said that Tap Night's Sandown entry at this stage was precautionary with the Scottish Future Champion Novices' Chase over two and a half miles the preferred option.
"He'll definitely run this weekend," said Russell. "I'm sure we'll look at running in the two-and-a-half-mile race just to see if he stays.
"Both the Musselburgh races look hot but we need to get him out, he's only had the one run over fences and he needs experience.
"The Sandown entry is just something to fall back on."

- Artist: Skip Jensen
- Genre: Rock
- Release Date: 1/10/2006
Skip Jensen (Scat Rag Boosters, Demon's Claws, etc.) is a well respected contributer to the rockin' garage scene in Montreal, known for his own unique brand of stripped down punky, blues soaked rock n' roll. This is Skip's one-man shebang, his first solo full length and without question his best stuff yet!! Skip started his recording career by forming the well-known Montreal garage rock trio Scat Rag Boosters with Edouard Larocque and Martin Dupras (see CD Baby for their scorching full length.) The band released a baker's dozen of vinyl 7's on labels like Flying Bomb, Solid Sex Lovie Doll, Savage, Yakisakana and a host of others from Canada to France. Skip had also been recording himself at home for some years, but in 2001 while he was still releasing records with more established bands, he decided to start recording himself more seriously. He and fellow Booster Edouard Larocque had a couple of side projects going like the Stack O' Lees and the Wrong Doers but there were still a bunch of songs he had written that just didn't seem to fit in anywhere. And so, Skip Jensen was born... With a paint-stick taped to one foot, a tambourine to the other and a harmonica and guitar slung around his neck he proceeded to bash out and record some of the most original sounding tunes to be heard in a dog's age. Heavily influenced by the likes of Jesse Mae Hemphill, Doctor Ross and even Hasil Adkins the songs are a mish-mash of blues, punk, rockabilly, folk, bluegrass and rock n' roll. Flat out wailin' and stompin, riled up and volatile; these songs burn! A soul ripped out, soaked in gasoline then thrown on to barbeque to it's right degree of burntness.

When you're moving up in the world of televisions, the LED TV is your first real stop. Sure, there are a ton of high-tech TVs with added features like the 4K, OLED, HDR, Smart TV etc. but if you're looking for a simple but modern big screen to grace your living room, stop right at that LED.
But don't get confused by the first sleek flat screen you see, here's what you need to know before you join the LED TV club.
LED TV screens start at 20 inches and go on to 80 inches but which one best fits your living room? The size mainly depends on the size of your room, the number of viewers and of course your budget. Just because you can afford a 50-inch TV, doesn't mean you jump for the first deal you see. Measure the size of your room before you decide. If the distance between the TV and the sitting area is at least 4 feet, you can buy a 32-inch TV. If this viewing distance is 7 or more feet, you can go with a 40 or 48-inch TV.
Also Read: 5 Ways to Make Your Dumb TV Smart on the Cheap
A 720p HD ready TV is as simple as it gets. You can enjoy watching regular TV on it but if you want a better experience then look out for Full HD 1080p TVs. This high resolution will make a big difference to the picture quality when you watch high-res movies and play games.
Smart TVs have taken the market by storm with their versatile features. If you like your tech and are ready to hook your TV with Wi-Fi, then you deserve a smarter TV. But not everyone is fond of this complexity. If you want a basic, good-looking TV, spare all the extra money you'd spend to buy a smart TV and invest that in buying a bigger TV instead.
Also Read: What's the Big Deal About Smart TVs?
If your main content source is your setup box, then you don't have to bother too much. However, if you plan to source most of your content through pen drives and the HDMI cord connected to your laptop, look for a TV model that supports multiple file formats and has Full HD 1080p resolution.
It's also important that you look for a TV that has a well-placed USB and HDMI port that is easily accessible to you. Note the placement of other essential ports like the 3.5mm audio jack and AV ports too. Having a Bluetooth enabled TV can also be a big pro since you can then directly connect your gadgets via Bluetooth to your TV instead of counting on different connections.

You have probably seen or heard about monthly subscription boxes providing monthly beauty and fashion for a small fee. Well guess what ladies? There is now a subscription box for hijabis!
Yes you hear right, you can now recieve a hijabi box per month containing an exciting new hijab and accessories from the now well know company Hijabi Box.
I was sent one for review so let's start with a BISMILLAH and here goes!
When you go on their website and apply for a box you are asked a series of questions to determine what sort of style you prefer. Questions like, what are your favourite colours, sequins or no sequins, classic or modern etc etc you get the drift. Once they have enough information you are then set to recieve your first hijabi box!
The box is made of plain cardboard with the Hijabi Box sticker on the side. Everything is wrapped up in beautiful black tissue paper so that they are nice and snug."Hijabi Box was founded in 2013 to bring new and unique scarves to Hijabi's across the world.Each box is custom built for the recipient based on her style and color preferences and never duplicated.Our mission is to have a wide variety of styles for all tastes and bring excitement to Hijabi's around the world."
I loved unwrapping my box and slowly pulling away the tissue as it felt like a special gift and the fact that you do not know what you will find inside gives you even more excitement and ads anticipation.
I received a stunning peacock and gold toned pashmina, a plain grey under scarf or bone, a wheel of handy black and white stick pins and a cute little chocolate bar by Ghirardelli. Before I forget let me just mention that you can actually purchase everything I feature here individually from their website so you do not have to subscribe if you do not want to!
I honestly loved everything in my box as I specified my preferences to Hijabi Box. Because they knew what I liked and disliked they sent me perfect items for my taste.
I loved the fact that they even included a little chocolaty snack, I mean who doesn't like chocolate right?
I think that the hijabi monthly subscription box is a genius idea and as it's fan base grows will get even better and better.
Here is how I plan on wearing my pashmina. As it is summer here in Australia it is too hot for a pashmina but it will come in handy on those cooler summer nights as a chic shoulder throw. I planed this outfit for an upcoming ladies event so cannot wait to wear it! What do you think?
Outfit by:
Dress worn as top - Sass & Bide
Peacock Pashmina - Hiabi Box
Wide leg silk palazzo pants - Alannah Hill
Glomesh clutch - vintage
Gold bow heels - Tony Bianco
Pssst! Lucky you there is 20% off Hijabi Box at the moment so make sure you utilise the code WINTERSALE at checkout!

16 Nov The Cathedral Arch in Paracas Natural Reserve
Posted at 23:53h in Travel Postcards 0 Comments
One of the most photographed spots in Paracas Natural Reserve (Peru), the Cathedral Arch was unfortunately destroyed in 2007 by an earthquake.
[pullquote]For the good and for the bad, the forces of nature are always stronger. And the Cathedral Arch in Paracas got lost… [/pullquote]
I still remember the rugged and wild beauty of this part of the Paracas Peninsula, the strong wind and the cries of the thousands of birds of many varieties having their home in this wonderful natural reserve.
And while the overall natural magnificence of the Paracas peninsula has probably remained unchanged, it's a pity that a gorgeous sculpture shaped by nature in thousands years has gone lost.

Hello friends,
I've noticed while reading through the posts that many of you are saying "no sugar".
Have your Dr.'s told you to cut sugar out of your diet? Mine has never mentioned it; and I am a sugar-holic, now facing my 3rd recurrence. (yes, it's back again. I meet with the Dr. the end of Jan to discuss chemo #3).
Anyway; please let me know if I should be changing my diet.
Thanks, and my blessings & prayers to all~
~Susan xoxo
Dec 28, 2008 - 6:28 pm
I've heard of that too--that cancer cells thrive on sugar. Maybe that explains the strong cravings I had for candy before my cancer diagnosis Jan. 2007. I've been in remission for 19+ months but I still eat candy! I probably should not but I don't have any other addictions and I don't eat excessive amounts. My doctor never mentioned about sugar either. But I myself would avoid artificial sweeteners if you are going to try to limit sugar. I can't digest artificial sweetners and I believe they are toxic. And white flour starchy products like white bread, donuts, muffins, bagels change to sugar in the body. Dates and figs are naturally sweet so those could help your cravings. Maybe someone else on here would be able to give you better info????? I think you need alot of protein--low-fat (not the fat-free stuff)cottage cheese, turkey, hard-boiled eggs, string cheese, nuts, etc. to replenish your body's resources because cancer makes you malnurished. Usually having ovarian cancer bloats you up and it looks like you gained weight but it does actually the opposite--it starves you. Before I found out I had cancer I was at my normal weight but yet my jeans started feeling loose. Anyway, sorry to hear your cancer came back. I myself have another checkup soon which I am abit nervous about. Good luck!
Dec 28, 2008 - 7:11 pm
Hi Susan,
My doctors have never said anything about specific diet items. In fact, when I said about having gained some weight, one doctor said "good, too many times the patient has lost weight". I have since asked about going back to Weight Watchers, and I've been given the go-ahead.
If you don't have some reserve of body fat, if you get to a point that you don't want to eat or can't tolerate food, you will be at a disadvantage.
Any questions such as this would be better answered by your doctor(s). They've gone to school for a long time to learn about our illnesses and how to treat them.
Cravings can be affected by changes in hormone levels, stress, and out-of-balance eating habits. Trust your doctors for the right advice!
Dec 28, 2008 - 9:15 pm
I recently bought a book entitled "Anticancer, A new way of life" by David Servan-Schreiber, MD, PhD. He is a neurologist that developed brain cancer, not once but twice. He has done a lot of research on diet and his notes at the end of the book reflect that. I have tried to find credible resources for nutritional information and this book really makes sense to me. He talks about a low glycemic diet and the reasoning behind it. He also discusses the role of the mind and spirit in all of this. I would highly recommend this book to anybody fighting cancer. I do recommend being cautious if you are undergoing treatment and run any dietary changes by your oncologist first. Most of the book is about dietary changes, not the use of dietary supplements.
Dec 29, 2008 - 7:27 am
Hi Susan
I am sure you will recieve lots of answers to this question. I still have friends that think if I ate this or didnt' eat this I wouldn't have cancer. :-) I have read several books on diets and cancer and agree with some of it. Eating healthy and getting in physical activity of some kind is healthy for all of us, cancer or not.
I was a vegetarian b4 cancer and that didn't stop me from getting cancer, and I eat fairly small amounts of sugar and has that hasn't sent my cancer into remission. So I don't think a little a sugar is going to hurt.
I am sorry to hear about your recurrence, let us know how your Dr visit goes and what the plan of action is. While you are there ask him his opinion on the sugar and diet.
Buckets of teal hugs n prayers Bonnie
Dec 29, 2008 - 11:32 am
Well Susan, speaking for myself, sugar is generally not a part of my diet. Although, I must admit I have over-indulged this Christmas Season (I have my moments!). Sugars have no benefit whatsoever, other than those found naturally in fruits and other whole foods. I believe it does have an affect on our overall health, and there are facts to definitely back this up.
Try to eat more protein (lean meats such as chicken, fish, turkey, nuts and seeds, etc.). This is important to build lean muscle tissue, prevent muscle wasting, help our organs, and build immunities, among other nutrients that are important for this. But when you increase your protein (try to have 5 small meals a day), you will find that your sugar cravings will diminish. Don't stress about it, just make little changes every day. Eventually, you will not have such strong cravings, but will be able to 'treat' yourself once in a while without going overboard. Allowing ourselves our hearts desires now and then ensures Quality of Life!
Sending lots of luv and hugs your way. And if you want some recipes to minimize the sugar in your diet but still provide some yummies, let me know!
Dec 29, 2008 - 11:34 am
My doctor has never banned me from anything and encouraged my weight gain. He wants me to have some fat reserves for a fall back position. I have gained 25 lbs since the surgery, my lowest point in weight.
Dec 29, 2008 - 11:38 am
Lots of good advice here. I too have always watched my diet and exercised, etc. And still got ovarian cancer IIIc. Not that I don't indulge in some sweets now and then. But then again, I have the BRACA mutation also. I guess like with anything else, it is in moderation. Sorry about your recurrence.
Blessings to you and yours in 2009,
Dec 29, 2008 - 11:54 am
I also purchased that book, ("Anti-Cancer"), but haven't been reading lately. I will get right on it!!
Thank you, all you wonderful ladies for your replies. I certainly appreciate everybody's input.
Today I'm off to acupunture...it's now covered by my insurance, so I'm giving it a try. They say it really helps with chemo side-effects. So far, I think my neuropathy has improved, and maybe I sleep a tad bit "better". I've just got to keep myself motivated to keep going!
~Susan xoxo
Dec 30, 2008 - 7:20 pm
I went through a new patient orientation class, and this was one of the topics discussed. As for sugar, my cancer center's nutritionist said that it is okay in moderation. As long as you don't overdo it, there is not a problem. They also said artificial sugar are perfectly fine. They seemed to be more worried about limiting red meats, pork, and such.

I just wanted to comment on something I overheard at chemo today. Someone was having their port flushed and the nurse suggested that they chew peppermint gum so they wouldn't get that awful taste in their mouth afterwards. The patient replied that gum had sugar so she couldn't use it as a remedy. My first thought was how sad it was that this patient wouldn't even let herself have about a teaspoon of sugar (or less)to overcome a distasteful part of therapy. I think that there has to be moderation in all that we do and that we can't let the fear of cancer overtake our lives. Yes, I'm trying my best to overcome my sweet tooth but, on the other hand, I'm not going to let myself be absolutely miserable either.
Jan 02, 2009 - 1:22 pm
my dr told me that cutting out refined sugar is not necc going to be a help, some have cut it out completely and others have not- this seems to have little effect on cancer retuning. go have a bowl of your favorite ice cream and smile!!!
Jan 08, 2009 - 12:08 pm
My Dr. Gyno/Oncologists, handed me some M&ms so I don't think so. I have heard that sugar can enlarge tumors but... I asked my oncologist and he said we would all be in trouble if that were true. Sooo who knows, not proven.
Jan 08, 2009 - 3:45 pm
On last night's inspirational Patrick Swayze interview (I loved him in "Dirty Dancing" and "Ghost")he was asked if he is on any special diet. He said absolutely not; he is NOT feeding the cancer! I think it's a double edged sword that when you try to eat very healthy it is very good for the health of your body, with or without cancer. But, all that good food also feeds the cancer cells. I'm obviously not a doctor but I would say a moderate approach to food is the best. Get in all the basic food groups, regular meals and small snacks every day but don't overdo it. Try to keep at a healthy weight and only eat what your body can burn off.
Jan 22, 2009 - 6:12 pm
From: http://www.mercola.com/article/sugar/sugar_cancer.htm
A Nobel Laureate proved in 1931 that cancer uses sugar in a massive amounts to grow. A cancer cell can't obtain glucose normally, so it has to take in 16 times the amount of sugar. Since cancer cells don't die on their own, the more sugar intake the more the tumor grows, adding new cells to the old ones that didn't die. All oncologists know this.
However, 40% or so of cancer patients die from cachexia (wasting away) so, for those people, eating to maintain weight is a good idea, albeit without sugar.
Since cancer cells take in sugar 16 times faster than normal cells, PET scans work by first injecting the patient with radioactive sugar, then measuring where it is taken up, creating "hot spots" on the scan.
When a cancer cell ferments the sugar it produces lactic acid, which the liver converts back to glucose (sugar). The lactic acid is what causes great systemic pain. I noticed that when I ate meals with alcohol and simple carbs, I felt so terrible that I couldn't handle it. It was only when I went low carb, with mostly veggies, that I improved how I felt.
Complex carbs and fruit are generally okay.
If you feel worse after a high sugar meal, take note and maybe you can see some improvement by avoiding in future.
Jan 22, 2009 - 7:38 pm
I think if my cancer comes back I may try to avoid sugar. I do like candy, and I'm not just talking about dark chocolate. I mean the stuff that kids eat! I don't eat alot of cookies, donuts, cakes, ice cream, etc. I do know that before I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer 2 years ago, my cravings for candy were stronger than ever. I ate more candy in that time period when probably the tumors were growing (I was stage 3c) than ever in my life, except maybe when I was a kid. I couldn't understand why my weight was the same but yet my jeans were starting to hang off of me. Of course I understand that now.
Jan 23, 2009 - 12:39 pm
Thank you all for your informative responses. It's nice to find out these things.
Jan 23, 2009 - 4:15 pm
Remissions - are they from the time of surgery or after last chemo? I guess I never really thought about when onco consider the timing. Probably it is in all the information I have.
Jan 23, 2009 - 6:19 pm
Libby, I will answer that since I know this info. Afterall, I am in remission (20 months.) It starts when chemo ends if tests come out all clear. My CA-125 was good and the CT scan didn't show anything after my last chemo session on May 15, 2007. Plus the physical exam in which my doctor feels around my abdominal area and the gynelogical exam as well. I don't even know if remission is a good word to use for someone having had ovarian cancer, sorry to say. NED is probably more appropriate (no evidence of disease.) They keep watching to see if something shows up. To tell you the truth, my doctor used neither term! He never said I was in remission nor did he say I was NED. I could only assume that since he discussed my tests and the next step to take (checkups every 3 months) but he did have a pleased look on his face. Pleased as punch! I could have asked, "Hey, am I in remission" but I don't even know if it means all that much since ovarian cancer at stage 3 tends to reoccur. However, there are a few lucky ones that are cured. Cancer is now basically treated as a chronic disease. People can often go on for years that way. It wasn't true years ago. That's why so many people who never have had cancer view it as a death sentence if a family member or friend is diagnosed. Not true!!!! Using myself as an example, I've tried to change people's ideas about that. That's why I admire Patrick Swayze so much. He continues his life as I have tried to do.
Jan 23, 2009 - 7:58 pm
Thanks for your answer. I asked my doctor if I was in remission back in November after all my test came back negative and chemo was over in August. She said yes and I took it as there was NED. So I would say I have been in remission somewhere between August 4 and when I asked in November.
So maybe 2-5 months (since it was not brought up until I asked in November)? All physical exams have been good. She has moved my appointments to every two months while on Hexalen and even the blood work is every 6 weeks or so.
Maybe next time I see her I will ask. Family and friends have asked how long I have been in remission or NED and I really never knew what to say, just that everything looks good!
Thanks and have a great weekend!
Jan 24, 2009 - 1:56 am
I am the absolute worse person when it comes to sugar, I can't get enough of it, when I satisfy my craving, I go into a coma and wake up with a hangover. My daughter laughs at me when I tell her I'm going to have some "sleeping cookies"...it's true I'll eat them and then i fall asleep. I'm working at trying to cut back........excellant responses here, loved reading them, very uplifting. Everytime I feel down or scared I decided to reat the threads and I fee so much better.
Feb 24, 2009 - 12:54 pm
My doctors (surgeon gyn oncologist and oncologist never mentioned cutting sugar out of diet. I went on internet and looked up foods that can help ovarian cancer and they said there was none for this type of cancer. So I said, ok, and went a bought a cake.
Feb 24, 2009 - 1:56 pm
My oncologist said that cancer needs sugar to grow. Then went on to say .... but that does not mean to stop eating sugar. Testing has been done on how much sugar we eat vs the cancer. The cancer will find enough sugar to survive and thrive... no matter what we eat. She suggested to try to maintain a healthy weight and eat any thing we like in moderation. I have been NED for two years. God bless us all as we fight on !! Peggy

Feb 24, 2009 - 7:24 pm
Hot Topic! I had no idea that sugar was supposed to be bad for cancer patients - but it seems like everywhere I go someone is telling me it feeds cancer cells. I asked my Dr. and she said I can have sugar in moderation. she also said artificial sweetners such as equal or splenda are good but the others are not. Moderation is key - only I have not perfected this "Moderation" thing :) !

Hello all. My partner is just starting treatment for 1 c ovarian cancer. I saw this post and thought maybe I could clarify...Eastern medicine believes that a persons ph (acid level) should be between 7 and 8 on a scale of 1-14. A higher ph (or acidic body) can cause health problems including cancer. Sugar and artificial sweeters raise body acidity (as well as many other foods). It is an interesting theory. As usual there area ton of people trying to sell you stuff but this link will take you to a list of acid/alkaline foods. http://www.essense-of-life.com/moreinfo/foodcharts.htm. Apparently you can have a blood test done by your dr or test your urine on ph test strips. I personally think it is worth a try but know if I will ever convince Lyn : ) There is a ton of info if your search for "body ph balance"

Oncology nurse told me sugar can increase your tumors and the subs are a chemical so it also can be bad for you. But some say Moderation. A little doesnt hurt. I think if you eat right and can exercise once in a while sugar wont hurt. My Dad who basically eats right does have a sweet tooth as well as Mom and they have had cancer in the past and are cured now and they still eat sweets so talk to dr. My dr says eat as healthy as I can but also dont deprive yourself and treat yourself. Guess its all in opinion and as gstrathy said the ph may have a lot to do with it.

If my cancer came back (will be 2 years NED in May) I might consider changing the way I eat and also watch my ph. Most fruits and vegetables are alkaline so I'd probably focus on those plus some protein. You can add fresh lemon juice to water or a 1/4th teaspoon baking soda in a cup of water. Those are good alkalinizers. I'm not strict with myself now but I may become more so in the future if I need to be. Before I had kids I rarely brought any sugary foods into the house. That all changed with the kids. Even now with only a fifteen year old here I bring junk in from the store. I don't believe in no-no foods. Then you end up craving them and going beserk. However, the thought of going thru surgery and chemo again doesn't appeal to me either.

I had a reoccurence of breast cancer in early 2009 and have been going to Cancer Treatment Centers of America. I love them there as you don't only get to see an oncologist, but also a nutritionist and naturopath as well. The naturopath explained to me that you could eat foods that have no more than 8 grams of sugar twice a day. Therefore, it you eat sweets such as the processed cakes and cookies that supermarkets love to sell, you are definitely going over the 8 gram limit. She also said to check all the labels to the foods I eat and to limit the following foods to not more than 4 ounces of each twice a week - white pasta, white rice, potatoes, red meat and cheese. She also explained that the reason why sugar affects cancer is because if you consume too much of it, it causes your insulin to increase - which in turn increases cell growth, including cancerous cell growth.

This is a very old thread. The original poster passed away not too long ago. Maybe someone could start a new thread for this topic.

That did hurt. (((Carlene)))
& ya know, I hope they all enjoyed a wedge of fabulous cheesecake or a luscious dark chocolate truffle while they were still here on earth. Another reminder of how fleeting life is, so LIVE FULL OUT, ladies. Denying yourself a cookie isn't gonna make any significant difference, and it is the small physical joys of earthly life that make us cling to this world even though heaven awaits. Everything in moderation. But be good to yourselves.
