Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Hammel strong, but gets no support in 2-1 Cubs' loss
BY TONI GINNETTI Staff Reporter June 22, 2014 4:26PM
Article Extras
Updated: June 22, 2014 8:11PM
Close games continue to be a norm for the Cubs, and a frustration.
Their 2-1 loss Sunday to the Pittsburgh Pirates was their 13th in 20 such contests and left starter Jason Hammel on the short end, even though he allowed just two runs in seven innings.
"There's great character on this club,'' said Hammel (6-5), who saw his three-game home winning streak come to an end. "We play a lot of close ballgames. It's a matter of learning how to win the one-run games and that's what will make this team a winner.''
Hammel gave up two runs in the third, the first on Travis Snider's leadoff home run and the other when Josh Harrison's single drove in Chris Stewart, who had walked.
Hammel allowed six hits in his seven-inning stint, striking out six and walking one. He already has faced the Pirates four times, going 2-2 with a 3.51 ERA.
"I'd like to see some different colors,'' he said. "I'm sure they're tired of seeing me too.''
The Cubs had only two singles off Pirates starter Brandon Cumpton (3-2), who also worked seven innings.
"Cumpton at times can get out of whack, but tip your hat to him today,'' manager Rick Renteria said.
The Cubs squandered a scoring chance in the eighth when pinch hitter Junior Lake reached on a bunt and Darwin Barney followed with a single off reliever Tony Watson. Travis Wood came in as a pinch hitter to advance the runners on a sacrifice, but pinch hitters Welington Castillo and Justin Ruggiano struck out.
The lone Cubs' run came in the ninth when Anthony Rizzo and Starlin Castro singled off Mark Melancon (12th save). Rizzo scored when Nate Schierholtz hit into a fielder's choice.
"To get two runners on [in the eighth and ninth] and not capitalize is frustrating, but that's baseball,'' Rizzo said. "Cumpton was hitting his spots, and when pitchers do that, it's tough to hit them.''
The Cubs' bullpen delivered two scoreless and hitless innings.
"They worked through a little traffic [Neil Ramirez walking two in the eighth], but they gave us a chance,'' Renteria said. "I'm proud of these guys because this is a good division. We didn't lay down. We just fell short.''
Castillo back
Castillo returned from the disabled list after missing 20 days with inflammation in his left rib cage. Eli Whiteside, who had played eight games during Castillo's absence, was designated for assignment.
Renteria said he hopes Whiteside, 34, would remain in the organization.
"Eli has done a nice job for us,'' Renteria said. "From a very selfish standpoint for the organization, I hope he clears waivers.'
The Cubs also made a procedural move, taking the contract of Class AAA left-hander Tsuyoshi Wada and then optioning him back to Iowa. The move put the team's 40-man roster at 40.
Hit parade
— Rizzo has hit safely in 10 of his 13 games against the Pirates (16-for-49, .327).
◆ — Barney has hit safely in his last four games.
◆ — The Cubs failed to hit a home run, ending an eight-game streak.

Volunteer for NIAID-funded clinical studies related to transplantation on ClinicalTrials.gov.
The drug regimens that suppress a patient's immune system usually can prevent graft rejection, but they also cause serious side effects such as infections and malignancies. NIAID is working to develop treatments that can both reduce these risks and improve graft survival. One promising alternative is to selectively modify the immune response to establish tolerance to the graft while leaving protective immune responses intact.

Time to hear from someone besides me. I'm tired of me this week. Tired of my own thoughts, my own words.
Enjoy the words of fertile hope from those much wiser and eloquent than I.
If the word God disturbs you in any of these quotes, just substitute any word that feels more appropriate.
If you don't believe in hope or miracles, consider this: the photo image on this blog was taken with a camera on a phone, no filters, no zoom, no special lenses.
Happy Weekend~ And a special call out; Happy Birthday to my younger sister, Laura Rosenthal, also known as Orly Ellen Rosenthal, may the sun shine down upon you today of all days.

Almost a year ago, tomorrow, 26 individuals got their Angel Wings early. The hole that has been left behind, in our hearts and souls, still remains barren. The sadness felt worldwide, the loss of innocence was devastating. I was not directly affected by the Sandy Hook tragedy, not with the loss of a child, but I am a mother, and the effects that have resulted are quite profound.
I have tried to move through this last year and carry on as we are supposed too. Somehow, at odd times, I have come to halt, in place with special and not so special moments. My daughter scores a goal in soccer; or listening to my child's infectious laugh and laughing so hard I cry. Then I think I am so lucky, "I have my kids, and they are safe…" I am seeing and watching them grow, and again I get sad because that is only for now. We never know what is ahead of us, just what is behind us and what occurred on that cold December day is only in our rearview mirror, the day might seem father away, but it is closer than it appears…
I went to Victoria Soto's Park in Stratford. It's beautiful and pink and it is "Where angels play". My daughter loved it, probably because it was pink. I loved it because I felt something there. I think I felt the presence of the angels and I know that they were there. I rode every slide with my daughter and I laughed all the way to the bottom. We swung high on the swings. I felt the innocence, I felt joy.
The holiday season is upon us and so is the year anniversary of the tragedy in Newtown. Hopefully we remember a few things:
1. Take your time
2. Enjoy the moment
3. Make sure to never leave your kids without saying you love them
4. Above all, be kind to others
We all need to be better people and try harder because they are watching us "The Angels," so live your life like they are watching, in ways that would bring joy and peace…..
This is a quote I found on a tree at the park:
"Shine your light down on me, Lift me up so I can see, Shine your light when you're gone, Give me the strength to carry on….Carry on
~Our Thanks to Jocelyn, RMACT Team Member and Nurse, for this blog
December 14, 2012, lives were altered forever.
On Saturday, the anniversary, I will say prayers twenty-six times. I will do the Sun Salutation series. Twenty-six times.
I will dedicate my day to the town right next to mine, living through the first anniversary of being without their loved ones.

I will hold the day in reverence for the first responders who showed up to see such horror. To all the members of the community who first prayed, then hoped, then finally grieved and mourned. I will hold this day sacred for those mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, family members and loved ones who lost, without any hope of finding again, such a large part of their heart.
For those of us who can only imagine the pain, deep down into cells and atoms, we offer our shoulders, our sympathy, our strength, our hope.
How is it possible not to see the world as a brutal place when such a brutal thing was perpetrated?
The outpouring of love has been tremendous. And yet more shootings have taken place; more people have died.
We wanted the tragedy in Newtown to stop massacres. It hasn't.
Today, we remember. We pray. We hope. We continue to grieve. We love.
Newtown is a loving, thriving, grieving, and hopeful community.
Saturday is a day to remember. To pray. To grieve.
To hope.
We drew pictures in Ladies Night In at our Danbury meeting on Tuesday night.
It wasn't my idea, although if you knew me well, you could have been right that it was my idea. It just wasn't this time.
It was Carrie Van Steen's idea. Give credit where credit is due.
Carrie was inspired by one of our brave ladies who suggested praying to the "Ovary God".
Another first.
In twenty-five years working in the field of infertility and fertility treatment, I never heard of or thought of an Ovary God. Or Goddess.
I kind of love the idea of one.
After all, why not?
Kokopelli is a fertility deity most commonly associated with the Hopi tribe from the southwest. He was also a mischief maker. I never liked him. I never wanted to put my fate in his hands. He was too impulsive and too nonsensical.
I think I like the idea of a female God/Goddess directly related to the ovaries more then Kokopelli.
A generous, sweet, compassionate and funny Goddess.
All that and more.
If I get to design my own Ovary Goddess, then I make her purple.
And red.
And green.
And round.
And shiny.
And very, very lush.
If I were going to paint my Ovary Goddess, then I would use squishy, mushy, pliable oil paints with lots of medium. Lots and lots of layers of paint. I'd make her complicated and very simple and basic at the same time.
A Fertility Goddess designed for exactly one thing. Creating an opportunity of new life. A possibility. Not a certainty.
Just a hope.
A hope with a lot of power behind it.
Not a gratuitous hope; a hope with depth and strength and resilience.
A hope with a physical form; one that occupies a space and place, with a specific shape.
Maybe your Goddess wouldn't look like a physical ovary. Maybe your Goddess would take on some more spiritual or esoteric form.
I know one thing for sure.
An Ovary God or Goddess would not be punishing. No matter what you may think or be afraid that you deserve, no Ovary God or Goddess would do anything but their best.
We each get to create what we believe in; what we put our faith and hope in.
I chose to put my faith in a God and Goddess that support and love me.
What about you?
What does your Ovary God or Fertility Goddess look like? What do they act like?
Can you believe that creating something to believe in will support your fertility efforts?
If nothing else, believe in yourself.
I know I do.
Infertility, for me, was very frequently a huge pity party. I felt every pang of not becoming pregnant, every bit of the loss of another month or year of not having my family. No pregnant woman walked by where I did not feel the hit right between the eyes or more, right between the heartbeats.
Less frequently, I saw the blessings that flourished around me, even as the fertility treatments kept on going, unsuccessfully. I often did not notice the beauty of the day or the steadfastness of my husband, family and friends. Rarely did I enjoy what was available each day; a bit of beauty, a lovely meal, an appreciation for a conversation.
I had an interesting conversation the other day, in regards to this.
With my sister. My younger sister, who is one of my closest friends and who at times can be a complete idiot and, at other times, can be utterly brilliant.
One of her most brilliant moments, via text message is below. The details don't really matter all that much, although they are kinda funny. Still, what a brilliant answer to my question.
Consider that the only differences are those of perspective.
It was a good reminder. I've held onto it ever since.
I can choose how I see things. And when I make choices, it affects how I feel.
Rose colored glasses make the world seem brighter. Green colored glasses make it seem more vibrant. Yellow ones make it all sparkle.
Hope colors infertility and fertility treatment. So does gratitude.
Perspective is the difference between a nice time and a nightmare.
What's hopeful for you today?
What are you grateful for?
If nothing comes to mind, look out for it. Make a list.
Here's mine for today, so far:
1. Cooler, unmuggy weather
2. The cat sitting on my lap as I write
3. The email from Nora yesterday about Angie spending so much of her day translating into Spanish so that our patients could have the comfort of hearing things in a way that they truly understood
4. Hearing the birds
5. My husband's bright smile this morning, accompanied by "I love you"
6. You! For reading this blog
Make a list. And for me? The more miserable I feel, the more frequently I note what I'm grateful for and write them down.
I'm grateful that tomorrow I get to write another blog.
The word fertility has such a sweet sound to it. When I think about the word, it conjures up growth; soil freshly tilled, turned, weeded, ready to be seeded and planted.
A few summers ago, I worked with a group of my friends on a piece of land lent to us by an elderly farmer, instead of joining a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture), which is a way of getting fresh produce each week from a farm.
Photo: Flickr Creative Commons (Southern Foodways Alliance)
You make a commitment in the beginning of the season, pay a certain fee up front and then get a weekly amount of veggies/fruit/herbs; whatever is ripe that week. That summer I got the privilege of working on the farm itself.
This was not a twenty foot square garden. I am talking about a 5 acre farm (tiny for a farm, but rather large for a garden). To give you an idea of mass, a twenty foot garden is 400 square feet. Put into perspective, one acre is 43,560 square feet; our "garden" was five times that size.
The idea behind the work was to grow enough vegetables for the families that were involved and for the different churches, homeless shelters, temples, etc. that help people in need. This part of the project particularly touched my heart as I heard about more and more people struggling in our economy.
So I spent 6 hours a week rolling around in the dirt and mud. We did everything by hand and used no pesticides. Weeded and mulched; back breaking work. Lots of fun too. An excuse to get down and dirty, easier to get dirty and get the work done. By down and dirty, I do mean, down. On my knees, because it saved the back, crawling around in the rich, deep, fertile soil.
What a miracle the planting was. These tiny little seeds that you could barely see in your hands. I admit, that for me, seeing is believing. Believing those tiny little seeds would grow, not only into a plant, but into food, was a true leap of faith for me. I know that this is how things grow; I have a garden at home and grow plants and flowers. It is still always a miracle that something that looks like a poppy seed grows into food and nourishment.
This is just what you are doing in trying to create a baby. Preparing your body, heart and mind to be as receptive as you can possibly be. That's also what you do when you take that leap of faith. Faith in yourself, faith in your partner, faith in your doctor and practice.
I know that you are doing everything you can to create a healthy, happy, calm place for a seed to grow. While you're at it, let hope grow along with that seed. Let the hope grow just as straight and true and strong.
And please do let us know how to help. It's what we're here for.
I am inspired by the weather and the earth's movements and changes. You all know that.
Spring abounds with images and reminders of rebirth, reawakening, budding and flowering.
Just when winter and cold seem too long (although perhaps not this winter), everything turns brighter, more colorful and achingly more vibrant.
Hope too.
Hope that this fertility treatment cycle can work. We know it can. We believe it can. We hope it can.
Fertility treatment often feels like a roller coaster, complete with slow, sometimes scary ups and devastating downs. Then add those twists and turns of unexpected news and rescheduling--so yes, roller coaster fits how fertility treatment can feel.
I'm inspired by hope and a more gentle approach these days.
Roller coasters, yes, could be just the right metaphor for fertility treatment.
Here's another one, though.
How about the flower emerging from the earth? Taking it's time, getting ready underground, waiting for the warmth of the sun. There is no sign of the flower all winter. Yet, it's resting in the healthiest of ways, having stored the nutrients it needed during the fall.
That flower is not impatient, it responds to the rhythms of the earth. The days that have more hours of light, the temperature rising, the rain rather than the snow. It sends down unseen roots even while emerging so slowly that it's invisible to the human eye.
Perhaps it's a kinder way of looking at our fertility process. That it unfolds slowly, just the way that it's supposed to, in it's own time and with the right conditions.
Perhaps it's a kinder way of allowing ourselves to conceive.
Perhaps a kinder metaphor is watching a river winding it's way within it's river banks. It moves in one direction and then for reasons sometimes unseen, the river changes direction. Sometimes it's obvious, there's a boulder in the way and the river has to go over or around the boulder. Sometimes it's not at all obvious.
I love to see the hope in the faces of women in the two week wait. Hope that this is the time that the sun will shine brightly enough and that flower will peek it's head out.
Hope that the river will wind it's way around, seeking the most fertile ground.
I hope yesterday I wasn't one of those people. I talked yesterday about what we don't know about our reproductive systems, infertility and the simple fact of our biological clock. I talked yesterday about choices, that sometimes we make them without realizing that we are doing so.
Truthfully, we are inundated with information. Bombarded is another good word for it. We are told constantly by the media about all the health issues, news issues, economic issues, environmental issues and they all need our attention immediately, right this second.
Isn't reproductive health just one more on a long list? I do have an answer to this question! And that answer is no. It's not one more thing, on the same level as volcanic ash, global warming, economic downturns or any other less personal, very important piece of the world.
It's the body that we live in. It's the world that we need to take care of, be aware of, and listen to, first and foremost. It's our piece of the world that we need to be educated about and responsible for. Reproductive health and maternal aging; our possibility for conceiving has its own lifecycle. Those possibilities begin when we first start to menstruate and end when we enter menopause. Realistically, most of us don't want to conceive when we first start to menstruate; most of us wait quite a few years past that. And just as realistically, on the other side, conception becomes more difficult as we approach menopause.
Here's a comment to yesterday's blog that perhaps says best what I appear to be bumbling around in the dark trying to say:
I was just having this conversation with some friends (all over 35). We were discussing how little educated we were about age & infertility. We are all highly motivated career & academic women, but yet we never really took the time to get the facts. We knew fertility decreased, but never really looked at the stats! As successful women, I suppose we just assumed we could make pregnancy happen (knowing we might need some help, but never considering/imagining the potential emotional & financial tolls). Looking back now, I wish I had known the facts earlier in life, although I don't know how that would have influenced my career decisions. How do younger women get educated today about age & infertility? Seems like the only mechanism is at the individual level & how curious a woman is to ask? Are there any campaigns or initiatives out there to get women better educated (thru GYNs/other)?
And the bright, bright, shiny news is that there's help.
That's the take away message I want to make sure that you hear loud and clear. Yes, we will and are working harder to make sure that women understand their reproductive lives and options. The bright, shiny message is that there is such wonderful help available for those of us who need it. Wonderful fertility specialists (reproductive endocrinologists), highly successful medical procedures, and lots and lots of babies that are coming into this world. A positive, wonderful message.

Home Kent Business County News Article
A beer pump company has dealt with a shortage of skills in its sector by taking on two apprentices.
Dispense Solutions hired its newest recruits because none of the major brewers are taking on and training new staff.
The beer dispense installation and maintenance company works across the South East installing brands like Stella Artois, Carling, Fosters, John Smiths and Spitfire.
With a shortage of skilled technicians in the industry, the East Peckham-based firm approached training company Avanta to find the right candidate.
Managing director Tim Baldock was so impressed by the standard he took on two apprentices.
Danny Bourke, 18, and Ben Ailles, 17, will be employed at Dispense Solutions and its sister company Polar Fridge t/a Aire Serv, which deals in refrigeration and air conditioning.
They will be trained to be multi-skilled in beer dispense, refrigeration and air conditioning.
At the end of their training, they will earn an NVQ in Customer Service.
Mr Baldock said: "This is a great opportunity to build a career and everyone in the company is looking forward to working with them and helping to develop their skills.
"It is great to be able to offer two local lads this opportunity at a time when work can be hard to find for this age group."
Mr Ailles, from Tonbridge, attended Hayesbrook School and is carrying on a family tradition in the brewing business, as his relatives used to run a pub in London.
Mr Bourke, from Maidstone, went to Oakwood Park Grammar and has worked part-time at TK Maxx and as a barman at JD Wetherspoons.
He said "I enjoyed my experience working in the pub at Wetherspoons and was very interested to learn new skills and get into a trade that would give me a long term career.
"This apprenticeship opportunity fits the bill perfectly and I can't wait to start."
Training provider Avanta has offices across Kent in Canterbury, Maidstone, Chatham, Ramsgate, Dover, Folkestone, Sittingbourne, Gravesend, Tonbrige and the Isle of Sheppey.
Taking on an apprentice is not as difficult as many bosses think.
The KM Group is highlighting the benefits of hiring one with its Kick Start Kent campaign, aiming to get 50 companies to take on a young person.

Shopping for My Daughter's First Bra
As I cradled my 7-hour old dark-haired beauty in my weary arms, I imagined this day. My pre-teen (the term "tween" had yet to be invented) and I would have a quiet lunch in a café, talk about the exciting changes that awaited her, and then head to Nordstrom for her very first bra-fitting. Like with so many parts of parenting, what I imagined bore scant resemblance to reality. And not for one moment did I ever imagine that our outing would take place in her 10th summer.

Hey everyone....it's your friendly neighborhood Monster, Abyss, coming to you fresh from this past week's TNA live events in Knoxville, TN, Corbin, KY, Huntington, WV, and Pikeville, KY. "Wow" is the only word that I think can adequately describes how awesome these events were... what a way to head into tonight's TNA iMPACT. The fans were wild and crazy and had lots of fun. I actually saw quite a few rabid fans that I thought should be in therapy right along side me! I bet I can bring Dr. Stevie a lot of business. I wonder if that would make Dr. Stevie happy with me??? A special Abyss thanks to my good friends at Monster Energy Drink for all their support and partnering up with TNA for a great promotion for the Knoxville live event. I hope TNA, Monster Energy Drink, and the Monster Abyss team up for future ideas.
Speaking of Dr. Stevie, things have not been going too good lately between the good doctor and myself. He is starting to be mean to me whenever he determines in his head that I am not listening or agreeing with him. In fact the other day, he almost beat me with the belt from around his waist. And now, he's got me into quite a quandary regarding my girlfriend Lauren. It's a long story, but basically he wants me to train TNA Knockout Daffney to wrestle in the first ever TNA Knockout Monsters Ball against Taylor Wilde. The problem is Taylor is best friends with........my best girl ever, Lauren! This has me so confused. I don't want to let Dr. Stevie down and not train Daffney, and I'm also a little weary over what he is going to do to me if I don't train her. On the other hand, I don't want to let my girl Lauren down and see Taylor get hurt at the Sacrifice Pay-Per-View. Lauren is quite upset at me now. What am I going to do everyone?? I'm being torn in two directions and have no idea right now which way to go. I hope I figure it out before it's too late at Sacrifice.
Hey, have you all heard about this Swine flu potential pandemic crisis going on??? It's got everyone at the institution I'm in really scared. They are making all of us wash our hands every hour on the hour. I have to take a shower everyday now instead of just a couple days a month. Wow, this thing must be really bad. But on the bright side, I've never been cleaner. And then today, the news channels on in the recreation room were calling it H1N1 virus. Which one is it??? Come on CDC (Centers for Disease Control), make up your mind.

Once we know someone has a disability, we must follow two rules:
For professors, the types of accommodations you must make will generally relate to: 1) the way in which you teach your course or where you teach your course; and 2) the way in which you give your exams and where you give them.
Changes to the environment may have to be made such as allowing guide dogs, changing physical structure of classroom for wheelchair users to move, changing location of classrooms, etc. Additional equipment may be needed (Braille text books and tests, large print books, books on tape, readers, transcribers, notetakers, etc.). The University is not required to provide auxiliary items of a personal nature.
We do not have to relax our standards of performance. We are called to provide reasonable accommodations--not perfect accommodations. Do not offer an accommodation unless it is requested. Be creative. As long as it is still a reasonable accommodation to the student, choose the one which is the least expensive, the least disruptive, or the most convenient for the University.
Below are a few examples of types of requests you can expect and how these requests are accommodated:
In short, you may receive a request for service that appears to be out of the ordinary, or at least beyond any previous experiences with students. Contact the Disability Services Office anytime you have a question.

Jillian Bowe March 17, 2010 Days of Our Lives 19 Comments An all-star studded cast will make their return to Days of Our Lives for Grandma Horton's (Frances Reid) funeral. Published reports are confirming former DAYS stars, Bryan Dattilo (Lucas), Christie Clark (Carrie), Jaime Lyn Bauer (Laura), Lisa Trusel (Melissa), Maree Cheatham (Marie) Mary Beth Evans (Kayla), Melissa Reeves (Jennifer), Patsy Pease (Kimberly), and Roark Critchlow (Mike) are all heading back to Salem to say goodbye to Alice. No word on their airdates. 19 Responses buddabridgewater March 17, 2010 OMG!OMG!OMG!This is going to truly be the be the best funeral on daytime.I think I just went into hallucinations!I'm sooo happy!That sound you hear is Jamey doing the running man lol Log in to Reply Jillian Bowe March 17, 2010 buddabridgewater HA! *LOL* U heard it too? *LOL* Log in to Reply kiyote72 March 17, 2010 is there hope for a mike/carrie hook up? please say it IS so. Log in to Reply blake3b March 17, 2010 That is so awesome! Definately glad to see Carrie, Mike, Jennifer, Kimberly coming back! I wish Days could swalllow their pride and let John and Marlena return for it also. Marlena and Alice were such good friends, on screen and off! Log in to Reply ConqueringBlue March 17, 2010 Even though I'm sad about the loss of Frances Reid, it'll be wonderful to see all these old faces again. I'm very grateful that Ken Corday is giving this loss justice and making it seem as important as it really is. Jennifer is returning, it'd be great to see Jack return with her. Kiyote72, I was always a bigger Mike and Carrie fan than Carrie and Austin (I just found them so dull), I was a little disappointed when Carrie returned last time saying that she and Mike had split up. Will be nice to see Shane and Kimberly again, too. Very exciting news Log in to Reply rebalove7 March 17, 2010 nicely done days.. please no mike and carrie.. how about patrick muldoon returns for austin. jack, john & marlena should be there! Log in to Reply Forever8 March 17, 2010 Also according to Soap Opera Digest Calliope and Eugene Reunion on DAYS? With Arleen Sorkin returning as the zany Calliope Jones, is it only a matter of time before John deLancie, her longtime partner in frolic and fun, returns as the equally zany Eugene Bradford? "Well, they want him back, but he's very busy," reveals Sorkin, who's kept in touch with deLancie over the years. "He's got a lot going on. Hopefully, they'll get him." Indeed, deLancie has enjoyed great success in film and prime-time since exiting daytime in 1989; most notably his seven year run on STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION. Log in to Reply snags March 17, 2010 SO happy about the returns! I grew up with Days in the 80s so many of these characters/actors coming back are MY faves! I only wish some of them would stay and we could get rid of others in their place (Chad, Mia, Gaby, Melanie, Chloe (she was great as "Ghoul Girl". When they made her "pretty", she lost that spunk to me. Now she's just a doormat!). But I agree with the other posters that Jack/Matthew Ashford and Marlena/Deidre Hall both NEED to return too! Alice totally supported Jack when Jenn was ambivalent about him way back when. And Alice came to console Marlena during the Salem Strangler storyline (watch old You Tube clips). They both share history with Alice. To not have them there is wrong! Hear that Gary Tomlin? Marlena also NEEDS to touch base with Sami after this whole Sydney kidnappinng. That's not our "Doc" to be in Europe and not touch base with her daughter like that. They used to send Marlena to Colorado to check on Eric and her folks all the time when she was on contract! Consistency people! We fans know our characters! Totally out of character for her not to touch base with Sami…period! I would LOVE for Carrie to be with Mike again! To me, they were the couple. Austin was just way too dumb. He's probably lost in the bathroom in Europe since Will is in Salem and can't help him out. When Mike and Carrie made love in Vegas, she was literally floating on a mattress. Partially cheesy, but they were THAT good together. It sealed the deal for me. And Austin always ran back to Sami. I never considered their love to be as deep. And will Carrie and Sami butt heads? Will did stay with Carrie and Austin for a while so he could be SORAS'd. I'm assuming they have buried the hatchet, but it would be nice to see them bicker…just a little bit! I would love for the returns to overlap with one another. It would be nice to see Kim, Kayla, Bo, and Wayne Northrop Roman in a room with Caroline at the Brady Pub as they talk about Alice. And if Kim and Shane could cross paths, well I would jump up and dance with Jamey too! Log in to Reply ConqueringBlue March 17, 2010 rebalove7: Patrick Muldoon will forever be that sleazy Jeff who stole Kelly Kapowski away from Zack Morris, IMO hahahahahaha I don't think I was ever a huge fan of Austin, in either form. He was really stupid and gullible, I think JER modeled Ethan on Passions after Austin. Two of the dumbest men on Daytime TV EVER lol I did like Austin at one point, I think when they were toying with pairing him with that Greta, I think that was her name. I liked them together, but I just never found him and Carrie to be that interesting. I thought Carrie and Mike had a more mature love, and I adored them Log in to Reply rebalove7 March 17, 2010 @Conqueringblue that is hysterical.. i totally forgot about that but i can seriously see jeff & kelly dancing at The Max.. oh man – those were the good old days.. Log in to Reply ConqueringBlue March 18, 2010 rebalove7: I love Saved by the Bell, still watch it if I'm home at 7am every morning on TBS hahahahaha And sadly, even though PM was on DOOL much longer than SBTB, I still associate him more as the creep who stole Kelly from Zack than Austin Reed. Maybe because Austin Peck was Austin a lot longer, so I tend to picture him as Austin. I hated AP at first, but after a while he grew on me. Still thought he was a really stupid character though LOL He let Sami walk all over him. I kinda wish Sami would regain some of that bitchiness back, I can't believe she's falling for this crap EJ is dishing out to her after being duped for months by Nicole. WTF has happened to this girl? Log in to Reply keanna March 18, 2010 Can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!! Log in to Reply tylerbo20 March 18, 2010 OMG IM SOOOO HAPPY….names missing…DEIDRI HALL??? WTF?? BUT SOOO HAPPY TO SEE CARRIE/LAURA/JEN!!!! Log in to Reply Chels725 March 18, 2010 I'm happy to see that Days takes the loss of a legacy character seriously and tries to do their best to get it right. Other shows should take note of that (AMC). Log in to Reply tylerbo20 March 18, 2010 wow Deidri Hall stated on her facebook she wasnt invited. that is just sad. Log in to Reply Dariclone March 18, 2010 Wow, I'm a new fan but I'm looking forward to seeing some of the old favourites. [Carrie, Jennifer.] Log in to Reply tylerbo20 March 18, 2010 hmm i wonder if Lisa Rinna was asked to come back for the funeral? her and alice were friends too if i remember she lived at alice's for a while…also Greta i wonder about that girl sometimes too. Log in to Reply tylerbo20 March 18, 2010 hmm i wonder if Lisa Rinna was asked to come back for the funeral? her and alice were friends too if i remember she lived at alice's for a while…also Greta i wonder about that girl sometimes too.

KiOR Achieves Operational Milestones At Columbus Facility
BFCC Unit Marks 30 Day Continuous Run Time
First Shipment of Cellulosic Gasoline Made
Regular Shipments of Cellulosic Diesel and Gasoline UnderwayPASADENA, Texas, July 1, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- KiOR, Inc. (Nasdaq:KiOR), announced today that its commercial scale cellulosic gasoline and diesel production facility in Columbus, Mississippi has achieved several key operational milestones. First, the Columbus facility's Biomass Fluid Catalytic Cracking, or BFCC, unit has completed its first uninterrupted 30-day run. Second, the facility made its first shipment of cellulosic gasoline on June 28, which represented the first fuel shipment since March, 2013. Lastly, the facility commenced regular shipments of both gasoline and diesel that same day. "Commencing regular shipments of gasoline and diesel is very significant for KiOR, as it reflects the continuous improvements in our operations at the Columbus facility," said Fred Cannon, KiOR's President and CEO. "We have been undertaking considerable reliability and optimization efforts in areas of the facility unrelated to KiOR's core technology. The success of these efforts gives us confidence, more than ever, that the performance targets for the Columbus plant are attainable in the months ahead and that our operating assumptions for our next, larger Natchez plant are reasonable." "With the facility operating stably and producing cellulosic gasoline and diesel at commercial scale, we believe we are on track to achieve steady-state operations before the end of the calendar year and to demonstrate improving performance metrics over that timeframe," Cannon continued. "The largest commercially producing cellulosic production facility in the world, we expect Columbus – enhanced with our recent optimizations – to be the basis of our second facility's design at Natchez." About KiOR KiOR, a global leader in cellulosic gasoline and diesel transportation fuels, has developed a unique proprietary technology platform to convert abundant and sustainable non-food biomass into fuels for use in vehicles on the road today. KiOR's cellulosic fuels, which may be transported using existing distribution networks, help ease dependence on foreign oil, reduce lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions and create high-quality jobs and economic benefit across rural communities.

For most women, one glance at the supermarket tabloids and their endless photos of celebrities prancing around on the beach brings to mind three words: "Life's Not Fair." It's not just the exotic vacations, gorgeous spouses, and expensive bikinis -- it's the stars' seemingly eternal (and effortless) beauty.
How can celebrities expose themselves to intense UV rays, heat, salt water and stress -- not to mention blazing hot stage lights and layers of make up back on the job -- and still manage to look camera perfect? Truth be told, they can't -- not without a lot of focused effort, that is, and a series of regular cutting-edge beauty treatments.
"Once vacation is over, actresses get back to work -- and that means weekly treatments to deal with wrinkles, remove brown spots and rehydrate the skin," says Dr. Jessica Wu, a Hollywood dermatologist who has Oscar- and Emmy-winning actresses (and actors) parading through her office once summer ends.
Here are the cutting-edge treatments that such stars as Madonna, Jennifer Lopez and Diane Lane rely on to keep themselves beautiful, along with effective DIY treatments you can try at home if you're not on a blockbuster budget.
Facial-Contouring Massage at Arcona Studio
Hollywood beauty cognoscenti have nicknamed this treatment the "non-surgical facelift." During this massage, an esthetician's hands and fingers lubricated with a naturally active skin emollient uses a series of upward strokes to exercise the muscles in the face, reversing the gravitationally pull on skin, and stimulating blood flow and collagen renewal.
The result: Lifted eyebrows, a firmer jaw line and cheekbones out to here. It's a little like sending your face out for Pilates classes. "If you do it on regular basis, the process really does make a difference," says Chanel Jenae, the vice president and head esthetician of Arcona Studio, a Santa Monica spa that boasts such clients as Diane Lane, Kelly Preston and Vera Farmiga. The month before a big premier, celebrities will come in several times for the contouring massage. However, die-hard clients regularly come for once-weekly care. But, adds Jenae, "Even one treatment feels so incredible and releases tension -- and tension affects how we look and relate to people."
Facial-Contouring Massage, $85 at Arcona Studio, Santa Monica, CA. For Arcona's line of products, check out Arcona.com.
You can try out an Arcona-style facial massage at home with these hands-on instructions. To counteract the forces of gravity, always apply your face cream in an upward motion. With a nourishing cream -- Arcona's features naturally active ingredients such as vitamins B-5, C and E -- on your hands and fingers:
Step 1: Using your fingers, smooth the fine lines on your forehead upward.
Step 2: Contour your cheekbones by rubbing the palms of your hands in the hollows of your cheeks, all the while lifting your cheek muscles upward and toward your ears.
Step 3: Starting at the inner eyebrow, press two lubricated fingers along your brow; circle down to below your eyes and, starting from the inner eye, gently press the skin. Says Jenae, "This releases stagnant fluid and reduces area puffiness." You can also wrap an ice cube in cotton and massage the eye area with it for a similar effect.
Step 4: Infuse hydrating face cream into your fine lines by placing emollient on your fingertips and gently taping the moisturizer (you can also use a few drops of honey) into the "11" wrinkles between your eyes, fine lines on the forehead, crow's feet or "marionette" wrinkles around the mouth.
Step 5: Try this daily facial exercise to firm the muscles under your chin and jaw: Curl the tip of your tongue up and back and press it against the roof of your mouth. Hold for five seconds. Repeat five times. "A stunning ex-model in her 60's taught me this," says Dr. Wu. "Now I do this in the car while commuting, in the shower and standing in line at the store. It's like a Kegel exercise for your face."
Fractionated Lasers for Brown Spots
Dark pigment accumulates throughout the summer with exposure to UV rays, so when most sun-loving actresses hit the film sets in the fall, they are often a mess of spots and freckles. To even out skin pigmentation and erase age spots, many actresses opt for fractionated laser treatments, which work by drilling thousands of tiny pinholes into the facial skin, shrinking and tightening the epidermis while also stimulating new collagen and normalizing pigmentation.
Fractionated lasers offer a cutting-edge advantage -- the untreated healthy skin cells help speed the healing of the drilled skin. "After the treatment, you look and feel like you've got a sunburn," says Dr. Wu, who performs the Fraxel laser treatment in her office. But after you skin heals, "Age spots fade and you look like you've just turned back the clock about 10 years."
Fraxel and similar laser treatments costs from $1,000 to $2,000, and must be administered by a trained dermatologist.
Nothing, says Dr. Wu, keeps sunspots away more than prevention. "Sunscreen isn't just for the summer holidays," she says, adding that most celebrities treat SPF-containing creams like their "best friend" and are never caught without it. Make applying it a daily ritual by connecting it to other habits. For example, slather it every morning after you brush your teeth, and again before your lunch break. To further avoid producing other dark spots, says Dr. Wu, "Don't pick pimples. They can heal dark, especially after sun exposure."
You can combat existing dark spots with over-the-counter remedies, such as RoC Retinol Correxion. Also look for products with naturally active ingredients such as bearberry (arbutin), coffee berry or soy, such as Aveeno Active Naturals skincare line. Apply to your finger tips and infuse by touching to dark spots.
To get the most of these products, try exfoliating before you apply them, with a home skin-polishing system, such as Clarisonic's Classic Sonic Skin Cleansing System ($195), an electric facial brush that removes dead skin and old self tanner, stimulates circulation and increases the skin's ability to absorb nourishing and moisturizing ingredients. "I will sometimes even recommend using the Clarisonic rather than doing a dermabrasion treatment," says Dr. Wu. "Anytime you remove dead skin you are helping your products to penetrate more deeply." But, don't use the brush more than two times a week, cautions the dermatologist; otherwise you run the risk of over-stimulating the natural oils in your skin.
Intraceuticals Infusion Oxygen Facial
Yes, Madonna, who at age 52 still has flawless, wrinkle-free alabaster skin, does seem like a blessed freak of nature to most of us. But like the majority of celebrities, she gets a major beauty boost from regular skin treatments. Before most public appearances, she gets an Intraceuticals oxygen facial, a process that involves a liquid infusion of hyalaronic acid, green tea, aloe vera and vitamins C and E applied through a blast of oxygen from a handheld device. The 30-minute treatment immediately plumps up and nourishes the skin, although the day-after results are even more noticeable. Justin Timberlake and Eva Longoria also swear by this facial. "The treatments are a necessity before every major event," Longoria says.
For a similar burst of beauty, try one of these homemade remedies.
Oatmeal Facial: Combine a tablespoon of uncooked oatmeal with two teaspoons of honey and smooth onto your face. Leave on for 10 minutes, and then using a hot washcloth, lightly scrub the skin. "This is great exfoliant," says Jenae. "It lifts the dead layer of skin off your face."
Egg Mask: Mix the juice of half a lemon with egg whites from one egg and apply it to clean skin. After a few minutes, use a hot washcloth to wipe the mixture off. The result: Toned and brightened skin.
Drink and eat foods rich in antioxidants, such as cranberry juice, strawberries, blueberries, sweet potatoes and salmon. Including such nutrients in your daily diet boosts your body's natural ability to fight skin-aging free radicals, and enhance your skin's glow. Berries are rich in vitamins C and E stimulate collagen production, which serves to keep skin smooth and supple. Nuts are an excellent source of vitamin E and fatty acids, and help skin from becoming dry and dull. Salmon contains high amounts of omega-3 fatty acids, which helps keep water in the cells for hydrated skin.

Journals and Posts
CHARLES WOOLCOCK, MHR, New Zealand
Charles Woolcock is my gg grandfather,but for someone who was a Member of the NZ House of Representatives, he is somewhat elusive. I believe he was born at Mithian, St Agnes in Cornwall in 1828 to John and Thirza Woolcock. His father was a farmer. The family were very staunch Methodists. His siblings were: Thirza (1826), John (1830), William (1832), Lydia (1836) and Mary (1840).
In 1853, he married Betsy Lawry, the daughter of Samuel Lawry of Roche. She was 18 years older than him. (Betsy's family were also well-known Methodists - her uncle was Walter Lawry who was a missionary in the South Pacific, including Australia, Tonga, Fiji and New Zealand.)They lived at Trethella farm in Ruan Lanyhorne and a daughter, Lydia, was born on 27 February 1854. She was probably named after Charles's sister, Lydia who had died in March 1852. She never married and went on to be a Wesleyan deaconness and was the matron at children's homes in England. (Will add more specifics later.)
By 1861, he was a farmer of 430 acres at St. Mellion. Obviously, there were problems with the marriage, as in 1865, Charles and Betsy were divorced. Betsy sued Charles for the money to set herself up in business as a draper in Croydon. By the end of 1865, Charles had travelled to New Zealand although I have still not found the ship he arrived on. He had obviously learned a lot about NZ from the Lawry relations. (Walter's daughter, Mary Australia Aldred and her husband John were in NZ at this time. John Aldred was also a Methodist minister.
He married my gggrandmother, Mary Jane Lovell, in Nelson in October 1865. At this time he was groom to Edward Stafford and Mary was the nurse to his wife. (Mary, at least was staying with her sister, Christine Johnson, in Nelson and was involved in an inquest and court case when Mary found a dead baby floating in the harbour.) They owned land in Motueka, but later moved they moved to Greymouth where they ran a store - this was the time of the West Coast gold rush. Woolcock obviously got involved in local politics and was the Secretary of Public Works who organised the illfated settlement in Jackson's Bay. He was eventually elected to parliament. He did a lot for the establishment of the Greymouth are, mining and had a lot of plans and schemes including a rail link to Amberley. Unfortunately, he does not even have a street named after him, which is a pity.
He and Mary had 6 children,a daughter called Mary Thurza Hester Woolcock in 1866 and my g grandfather, Charles in 1868. The other children born in Greymouth were Jessie (1870), John William (1871), William (1873) and Lionel James (1875).
Because it was discovered that he had not paid his rates in Greymouth, he was not able to stand at the next election. He must have owned land in Taranaki (Normanby)as he was planning to stand for Egmont, but withdrew. His opponent was Harry Atkinson who went on to become the Premier so he would have had a hard time winning.
Around this time he was divorced from Mary, and there was a lot of information in the press. (It reads like a Victorian melodrama!) During the divorce proceedings, the children spent a year and 3 months in the Wallis Orphanage in Motueka, before being sent to Wellington in June 1877 to live with Mrs. Hephzibah Medley, whom their father later married in 1879. This marriage too does not seem to have lasted as she did not accompany Charles to Australia and is buried in Wellington. Charles moved to the Coromandel where he again became a storekeeper and later to Tauranga where he leased the Tauranga Hotel. This business went bankrupt and he contested it and refused to pay the money owing. I suspect he fled to Australia. He died of influenza and was buried at Woolongong in NSW in 1891.
Mary also re-married to Frederick Bullot in New Plymouth and had a number of other children.
