Antipathy, of animalsAccording to tradition, wolves have a mortal antipathy to scillaroots; geese to the soil of Whitby; snakes to soil of Ireland; cats to dogs; all animals dislike the castoroil plant; camphor keeps off insects; Russian leather is disliked by bookworms; paraffin by flies; cedar-wood is used for wardrobes, because its odour is disliked by moths. Ants dislike green sage. Source: Dictionary of Phrase and Fable, E. Cobham Brewer, 1894

Diving + Snorkeling on Nevis and St. Kitts
Ocean Terrace Inn

Tel: 869 466 3483

Oualie Beach
Tel: 869 469 9518
Under the Sea
Oualie Beach
Tel: 869 469 1291
Concierge.com's insider take:
There are more than 70 dive sites, including dozens of unexplored shipwrecks, around Nevis and St. Kitts; most of them require a short boat ride and have visibility of 60 to 100 feet. The area may not be a diving mecca, like the Cayman Islands or Belize, but it's worth excursions to the Grid Iron in the Nevis–St. Kitts channel or the River Taw Wreck. You're likely to see stingrays, colorful reef fish, and nurse sharks. Both Pro-Divers, at Fisherman's Wharf on St. Kitts, and Scuba Safaris, at Nevis's Oualie Beach, are PADI-certified shops. Also at Oualie, you'll find Under the Sea, where marine biologist Barbara Whitman runs guided snorkeling trips from a dinghy (à la Jacques Cousteau), rents sea kayaks, and offers a kid-friendly crash course in underwater ecosystems.

Hank Baskett was reportedly thrown out of the house by wife Kendra Wilkinson, after his cheating scandal with a transgender model back in April. Now, she's considering divorce, a new report claims.
Kendra On Top star Kendra Wilkinson, 29, is left with the biggest decision yet — to divorce or stay with her husband Hank Baskett, 31. He denies the reported affair with model Ava Sabrina London, but his stories keep changing. There son Hank Jr. has allegedly had to hear all the constant fighting, and Kendra doesn't want little Hank nor their 2-month-old daughter Alijah Mary Wilkinson to suffer anymore.
Kendra Wilkinson & Hank Baskett Discussing Divorce
Kendra, who was eight months pregnant during Hank's alleged affair, is putting on a brave face now that she has two kids to take care of on her own. Hank was kicked out of the house on June 20 and has reportedly been staying at a friend's house nearby.
"Kendra loves Hank, but can never look at him the same after this. She feels like she has been living a lie and never imagine she would consider divorce. She is in a dark place," a friend close to the former Playboy told Us Weekly magazine.
Hank has yet to make a public statement to deny the affair and, "to her it's an admission of his guilt," the source revealed. Kendra is in a very vulnerable and unstable place right now and has a lot to think about. Will she end up taking back the ex-NFL pro?
Will Kendra Wilkinson & Hank Baskett stay together for the kids?
The couple just welcomed there second child together in May, and Kendra now worries about raising their new little girl alone.
Kendra has yet to let Hank move back into the house, but despite everything going on, she reportedly does let him visit the kids everyday. However, "the visits end with Hank breaking down in tears in front of little Hank and claiming to Kendra he didn't cheat," the source also stated.
Do you think Kendra should take Hank back, HollywoodLifers? Or should she divorce him and let them take split custody of the kids? Stay strong, Kendra!

Cardinal Health Inc. plans to buy direct-to-home medical supplies distributor AssuraMed for $2.07 billion.
Retail News Breaks Archives
DUBLIN, Ohio – Cardinal Health Inc. plans to buy direct-to-home medical supplies distributor AssuraMed for $2.07 billion.
The pharmaceutical wholesaler said Thursday that the acquisition, expected to close by early April, will enable it to better serve the rising population of aging and chronically ill patients as care increasingly moves to the home.
AssuraMed had sales of about $1 billion in 2012, including revenue from the recently acquired Invacare Supply Group, and now serves more than 1 million patients nationwide with more than 30,000 products. AssuraMed operates through two businesses: Independence Medical and Edgepark Medical Supplies.
Cardinal noted that AssuraMed's expertise in products for specific disease states and small-parcel logistics will its ability to serve customers across the ambulatory care channel, including care sites such as doctor's offices and in support of home health care agencies. That also will enable Cardinal to provide a comprehensive solution for integrated delivery network, retail pharmacy and medical equipment provider customers that are currently delivering services to the home.
In addition, AssuraMed will bring more value to those customers through medical billing expertise and relationships with commercial and government payors, Cardinal said.
"AssuraMed is a natural extension of the Cardinal Health businesses and of our mission to be essential to care. The acquisition of this industry leader allows us to serve the growing number of Americans treated in home settings — particularly those patients recovering from acute episodes and those suffering with chronic diseases. This is a platform opportunity for Cardinal Health products and services which will be increasingly important as the delivery of care migrates to more cost-effective settings," George Barrett, chairman and chief executive officer of Cardinal Health, said in a statement.
"It has been a central component of our strategy to help enable the health care system by serving patients throughout the continuum of care. This acquisition further aligns us with key trends including demographic shifts and increased consumerism," Barrett added. "AssuraMed has an outstanding management team, a mission closely aligned with ours, and a track record of extraordinary customer service and outstanding financial performance."
Cardinal said that after the transaction is finalized, it will supply the home health care channel with product lines including ostomy, diabetes, insulin therapy, urological, wound care and incontinence. The company added that it also expects to use the acquisition as a platform for offering a variety of its current product offerings in the direct-to-home channel.
"We are very excited about becoming part of Cardinal Health," AssuraMed CEO Michael Petras stated. "Cardinal Health has a long and successful tradition in providing health care solutions to its customers, and we know this expertise will enable AssuraMed to move even farther and faster in building out our home care business."

Full user review
Rkill (Rogue Registry Killer), definitely is a must-have & a keeper in a trove of valuable security & clean up tools! This goes hand-in-hand w/ Malwarebytes! Idk about other suites but I've used it w/o disabling Trend-Micro & Kaspersky. Just before a thorough clean, which I do monthly, I close everything then run RKill "first & foremost" before anything else. Their instructions must be followed to the tee (and w/ care) b/c RKill instantly stops EVERYthing running ..such as "baddies" that have disabled your security, or plans on preventing it from doing its job! When done, RKill kicks out a log informing you of the process that were stopped along w/ possible fixes on corrupt or missing fills, etc.
No cons but I feel must say this ..although most techs would scare ppl or cause them to scare others into believing this should be used ONLY by professionals. That is NOT TRUE. If you can tick a button to run your anti-virus & wait until its done ..you dont need a someone to hold your hand to use RKill. Whatever u dont understand or if u need more detailed instructions, GOOGLE IT
The first time a tech fixed my pc, few yrs back (he later realized he forgot to remove a few tools then told me to do so ..but I kept RKill heheh). Anyway another yr later my son picked up an infection so bad, it even disabled my ability to do a manual run of my anti-virus suite! To ppl with basic pc skills, this annoyance will make you go to your nearest geek-squad and spend a hefty amount for its removal. Three days of researching & driving myself nuts, I finally remembered the RKill tool tucked away in a folder! No doubt, by now it saved us $$ thousands $$ of dollars ..considering I've learned to be safe & do a thorough clean every month, sometimes weekly!
correction: At the bottom of PROS, I forgot to add that RKill is done running "after" it kicks out the RKill log! Read it thoroughly, save it on your desktop, then run your anti-virus program! If the log states RKill stopped something malicious then you can go back to the log when your av stops, and make sure your av picked it. It it didn't, follow the path provided on the log & either contact your av tech or Google how to clean it, or whether to delete it.

The UDP tracker protocol is a high-performance low-overhead BitTorrent tracker protocol. It uses the stateless User Datagram Protocol (UDP) for data transmission instead of the HTTP protocol (over TCP) regular trackers use. The data is in a custom binary format instead of the standard bencode algorithm BitTorrent uses for most communication.
URLs for this protocol have the following format: udp://tracker:port.
The UDP tracker is better optimized and puts less strain on the tracking server. Neither tracker has any effect on transfer speeds.

An extremely popular toy in Australia, the "Bindeez" bead pen, has been banned across the country after it was discovered that the beads, if ingested, metabolize into gamma-hydroxybutyrate, known on the street as "GHB." GHB causes a feeling of euphoria in lower doses, but can cause a loss of consciousness at higher doses.
I've heard it can also cause you to periodically nod off into a nightmare zone, only to return from your momentary terror with no memories of the experience besides an aftertaste of panic, which fades quickly enough in the alcohol-like euphoria to make you forget that the next descent into the punk-and-bloat dimension is just seconds away.
Anyway, they'll be off the shelves soon if they aren't already. Buy now!
Bindeez toy recalled over drug fears [News.com.au via Consumerist]

But that's only the first layer of the game. The deeper layers reveal a game rich with narrative, consequence, crafting and death. Road Not Taken recalls Don't Starve in its surprisingly complex world. You're able to fall in love and marry NPCs; you have a house that fills with trinkets; the townsfolk have unique personalities and talk to you, and some may die if you don't act in the right way; a mysterious ghost girl follows you around the woods, haunting your rescue attempts; children perish in the forests if you don't have enough energy to save them. There's a crafting system, and animals that attack you and the children you're saving, plus a lineup of intricate puzzles called "setpieces" that challenge your puzzle and survival skills even more.
The main character has a pre-determined number of years to live: 15. Each time you take on a quest and enter the forest, one year passes, regardless of how many children you save. After 15 years, that avatar dies and a new one takes its place, though it retains a few skills you've earned along the way, Spry Fox Chief Creative Officer Daniel Cook and CEO David Edery tell me at GDC.
"It's really interesting when you start breaking away from the 'kill the evil enemy' – there's almost no 'kill the evil enemy' in this at all," Cook says. "As a player, you're almost entirely non-violent. Other things are violent toward you, but a lot of it is about finding children, rescuing children, putting parents together with children, which is a very different theme."
Edery chimes in: "Almost all of the stress comes from, 'Here's a kid that seems out of my reach; is there anything that I can do to save him?'"
"There's a really horrible moment when you're low on energy and you just can't do it," Cook says.
Road Not Taken is a mix of roguelike, puzzle and narrative-driven games. It begins with a story: Your character rows into the bay of a snowy town and must immediately search for a weeping mother's missing child. The tutorial follows – on keyboard, the avatar moves with the arrow keys, and he can levitate, carry and throw objects with the spacebar.
Much of the early game involves removing obstacles by combining objects. Throw one tree into another, any place on the map, to clear away the boulders blocking your path (no, it doesn't make physical sense, but your character has a magical staff, so it works). Similarly, find a child shivering in the cold and chuck her at her mother to reunite the family.
The mechanics of grabbing, carrying and throwing objects is challenging, but fun: Carrying objects quickly drains energy and ultimately kills you, and you can only throw things in the direction you're facing when you pick them up. If a flower, rock or other object is in your way, the object will hit it and stop there, and you'll have to maneuver to find a different angle, at times forcing you to carry things and drain your health.
That's the puzzle aspect of Road Not Taken, in a bare-minimum sense. Add in wandering bears, attacking hawks, spiky bushes and floating spirits, along with crafting moments, and the strategy becomes more difficult, and ultimately more satisfying. Unless you die.
I died once during my playthrough, in the tutorial section, because I carried a tree too far. I could have easily thrown it, rather than lugging it around and draining my health, and I learned that lesson quickly. Edery said most people die there – but death is a big part of the game, too.
Spry Fox is still playing with what "death" means, whether players will respawn at the house or start with a new character in true roguelike fashion. There will be a separate, harder difficulty level that may incorporate some of the more unforgiving ideas.
The main game begins in the town square, in a cobblestone courtyard littered with NPCs. One wears an old-timey, creepy doctor's mask with a long, narrow nose piece. He is, of course, the village doctor, and you're able to purchase medicine from him. Other characters offer friendship, and all NPCs except for the doctor will have health-style bars above their heads, each with little hearts at the end. Talk to one character over a long-enough time period and you might fall in love and marry that person – but watch out for jealous friends and almost-lovers. Really, watch out – you talk to people by bumping into them.
The ghost girl is an intriguing mystery – she appeared once in a level, on my grid, hovering in almost-invisible white. She moaned and disappeared. When I postulated what she might represent – a former love or a child I couldn't save? – Edery and Cook smiled and kept quiet.
After completing the first mission, you get a house in the village, and as you run into new objects on the grids, the items populate your shelves. Players are able to ban certain objects and customize their games, but getting rid of some things – such as spiky bushes that hurt you when you move them – limits your crafting abilities in the future. Every rose has its thorn, and all that.
And the vases in the house? You can totally "go Zelda on them," as Edery put it. They're destructible, and busting them open can give you new furniture to decorate your house.
Cook and Edery want Road Not Taken to be a game with a slow burn, one that grabs fans and keeps them around for a long time. If that happens, they plan on consistently updating with new objects, and adding mod options so players can create their own puzzles and levels.
Currently, Spry Fox is afloat financially because of Triple Town, a game that the team still updates three years on.
"We're just making stuff that's weird and different, which I'm happy that we can continue to do," Edery says. "As long as Triple Town keeps magically paying the bills, we can keep doing weird stuff and not worry."
Road Not Taken is due out on Steam, PS4 and Vita simultaneously, and Spry Fox is aiming for a launch this summer.

Bariatric surgery consistently induces remission of type 2 diabetes. We tested whether there are diabetes-specific mechanisms in addition to weight loss.
We studied 25 morbidly obese patients (BMI 51.7 ± 1.5 kg/m2 [mean ± SEM]), 13 with non-insulin-treated type 2 diabetes (HbA1c 7.1 ± 0.5% [54 ± 5 mmol/mol]), before and at 2 weeks and 1 year after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Lean (n = 8, BMI 23.0 ± 0.5 kg/m2) and obese (n = 14) volunteers who were BMI-matched (36.0 ± 1.2) to RYGB patients at 1 year after surgery served as controls. We measured insulin-stimulated glucose disposal (M) and substrate utilisation (euglycaemic clamp/indirect calorimetry), endogenous glucose production (EGP) by 6,6-[2H2]glucose, lipolysis (rate of appearance of [2H5]glycerol) and beta cell function (acute insulin response to i.v. glucose [AIR] as determined by C-peptide deconvolution).
At baseline, all obese groups showed typical metabolic abnormalities, with M, glucose oxidation and non-oxidative disposal impaired, and EGP, lipolysis, lipid oxidation and energy expenditure increased. Early after RYGB plasma glucose and insulin levels, and energy expenditure had decreased, while lipid oxidation increased, with M, EGP and AIR unchanged. At 1 year post-RYGB (BMI 34.4 ± 1.1 kg/m2), all diabetic patients were off glucose-lowering treatment and mean HbA1c was 5.4 ± 0.14% (36 ± 2 mmol/mol) (p = 0.03 vs baseline); AIR also improved significantly. In all RYGB patients, M, substrate oxidation, EGP, energy expenditure and lipolysis improved in proportion to weight loss, and were therefore similar to values in obese controls, but still different from those in lean controls.
In morbidly obese patients, RYGB has metabolic effects on liver, adipose tissue, muscle insulin sensitivity and pattern of substrate utilisation; these effects can be explained by energy intake restriction and weight loss, the former prevailing early after surgery, the latter being dominant in the longer term.
