Owner hosted us really good, upgraded our room to bigger one for the same price. The room was big and comfy. Beds were good and you can spend your evening in the garden under the peach tree. Feels like you are at home. And you can get all the information you need about the hikes and some other places to visit.

The stay was very short but perfect for our requirements. It was worth the price and the hostess was very helpful. I would definitely go back there and had a very pleasant stay.

We really enjoyed our stay by Vera (owner). It was like being at your grandmother. We feel directly so at home and in a comfort zone. As we arrived she was cooking cupcakes :) Vera has several brilliant homemade jams - tasted them for free at the breakfast and bought some of them to enjoy the taste at home. She helped us a lot to have a great stay next to the Drakensberg. We got printouts for hiking ways and many advices what we have to visit. Unfortunately we had only a stay of one night.thx

The athmosphere in the hostel is great. You really feel at home. The owner Vera Ann and Luther are very hospitable and have great knowledge of the area and recommendations which are off the besten track; e.g Ethiopean restaurant. We will definitely recommend this place to all our friends and family who will be visiting South Africa.

A true home away from home. The owner made us feel so welcomed into her family farmhouse. Try some of her homemade (and award winning) jams and muffins, they're delicious! She knows all the local hikes and tours and can offer you advice and maps for these. A fresh hot water bottle was put in our beds every night- very much appreciated as it can get quite cold at night this time of year. Thank you karma backpackers, we'll be back.

A suicide, campus lockdown and fake degrees. All those elements are making for a dramatic storyline at a small university in North Dakota. Fox News has more...
"Imagine getting a college degree, without doing any work. That is apparently what's happened at Dickinson State University. ... Since 2003, the school awarded diplomas to more than 500 foreign students, mostly from China, who did not earn them."
The discovery came as the result of an audit. And shortly after its findings were released, a school dean and professor committed suicide. KFYR has details...
"Authorities have confirmed that they have found the body of Doug LaPlante. ... They had reason to believe he left his home carrying a high-caliber rifle and as a precaution locked down the campus at DSU."
LaPlante's name was not in the audit report but he was Dean of the College of Education, Business and Applied Science — and some of the degrees that went out were to business students. A blogger for Mobile Tribune says the degree incident is another example of a growing amount of bad school news...
"If you are Chinese or Russian, have the money and want an easy way to score a real college diploma, Dickinson State University could have been the place for you … I don't know about you but I have grown weary of schools in the news. Sounds like we need to see more news about prisons."
Meanwhile — Bloomberg ties the incident to another rising issue: taking advantage of Chinese students.
"Dickinson's practices may fuel the growing debate about the recruiting and exploitation of Chinese students increasingly sought by U.S. colleges. About 57,000 Chinese undergraduates attended American colleges in 2010-2011, six times as many as in 2005-2006, according to the Institute of International Education."
According to the audit, Dickinson State University could face penalties from the U.S. Department of Education, the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of State.

Steve Harvey Takes 'Family Feud' To 'The Tonight Show' [VIDEO-NSFW]
One your marks, let's start, The "Tonight Show Family Feud!"
One your marks, let's start, The "Tonight Show Family Feud!"
Jimmy Fallon has never been a teenage girl. Taylor Swift, however, has. Still, the veracity that Fallon brings to his performance as a teen in his fake-talk-show-within-a-talk-show, 'Ew!,' is pretty striking -- he somehow seems like more of a teenage girl than his guest, who was a teenage girl mere years ago. It's madness!
'SNL' alum Dana Carvey swung by 'The Tonight Show' the other night, and host Jimmy Fallon couldn't resist asking the funnyman to do some impressions -- with a twist, of course. Using not one, but two "Wheel of Impression" spinners, Fallon determined who Carvey would imitate and what he would talk about. Too bad those things seemed weighted towards Al Pacino. Now that's weird, wild stuff.
'Tonight Show' host Jimmy Fallon and screechy-voiced comedian Kevin Hart both hate roller coasters, but the guys decided to face their fears together (aww) by taking a special spin on Universal Studio Orlando's massive Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit roller coaster.
When funnyman (and avid golfer) Jimmy Fallon spoke to Golf Digest for the cover story of their June 2014 issue, he revealed that he was going to conduct a ridiculous golf prank on his good pal (and one-time golfing buddy) Justin Timberlake.
Here's something you've probably never considered: what would it be like if 'Tonight Show' host Jimmy Fallon and 'Neighbors' co-stars Seth Rogen and Zac Efron were actually all teenage girls who had their very own Teen Nick show called 'Ew!' which was all about them screaming "Ew!" at various things and people? It's a little weird, right?
Whether it's his epic lip-sync contests with pals like Paul Rudd or dressing up like Bruce Springsteen to perform alongside the Boss himself, Jimmy Fallon has nailed the musical comedy bit on late-night TV.
Do you ever wonder what happens on late night shows during the commercial breaks? Does the host and his or her current guest sit there in silence? Do they craft a way to steer their interview once the cameras are back on them? Do they simply drink coffee from their ever-ready mugs? Turns out, if it's 'The Tonight Show' and host Jimmy Fallon is in the middle of interviewing James Franco, the two of them just end up talking about Horatio Sanz.
This may be your only opportunity (we hope) to see Will Ferrell in a denim skirt and pigtails dancing with Jimmy Fallon and Michelle Obama.
We all have to start somewhere.
Last night (Feb. 17), a massive roster of A-list stars kicked off Jimmy Fallon's debut as the new host of 'The Tonight Show.' However, it looks like they didn't believe the comedian could land the gig.
The 'Full House' reunion, which started with a Dannon Oikos Greek Yogurt commercial, is in full swing.

A Principal Data Engineer at Microsoft (Saleem Hakani) had authored the below SQL Server Tips & Trick and I thought it would be one that would be found handy by many. Keep this one handy you never know when you may need it (Hopefully not too many times).
You are working as a trusted DBA responsible for some extremely important SQL Servers for your company. For the sake of security, you have performed the following steps to secure SQL Servers:
Since you set the SA password to be complex and you have not been using it, you forgot the SA password. You are the only person in the company who would know the SA password and now you have lost the SA password.
What would you do now?
Some quick options I can think of are listed below:
1. You will try to look for the SA password on your computer hard-drive or in your emails (If you stored it in some file which is a bad practice)
2. You will rebuild Master database or reinstall SQL Server and attach all the user databases. However, this could take some time and also doesn't guarantee that all your logins, users, permissions and server configurations will be recovered unless you plan to restore the Master database from an old backup. However, as you don't remember the SA password, restoring the Master database will not help you and you are back to square one.
3. You will call up Microsoft PSS
You are now running out of options. What would you do?
There's a way with which you can gain SYSADMIN access to your SQL Server. However, that would mean your Windows account will need to be a member of the local administrators group.
SQL Server allows any member of Local Administrators group to connect to SQL Server with SYSADMIN privileges.
Here are the steps you will need to perform:
1. Start the SQL Server instance using single user mode (or minimal configuration which will also put SQL Server in single user mode)
From the command prompt type: SQLServr.Exe –m (or SQLServr.exe –f)
Note: If the Binn folder is not in your environmental path, you'll need to navigate to the Binn folder.
(Usually the Binn folder is located at: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Binn)
2. Once SQL Server service has been started in single user mode or with minimal configuration, you can now use the SQLCMD command from command prompt to connect to SQL Server and perform the following operations to add yourself back as an Admin on SQL Server instance.
SQLCMD –S <Server_Name\Instance_Name>
You will now be logged in to SQL Server as an Admin.
3. Once you are logged into the SQL Server using SQLCMD, issue the following commands to create a new account or add an existing login to SYSADMIN server role.
To create a new login and add that login to SYSADMIN server role:
1> CREATE LOGIN '<Login_Name>' with PASSWORD='<Password>'
2> go
1> SP_ADDSRVROLEMEMBER '<Login_Name>','SYSADMIN'
To add an existing login to SYSADMIN server role, execute the following:
The above operation will take care of granting SYSADMIN privileges to an existing login or to a new login.
4. Once the above steps are successfully performed, the next step is to stop and start SQL Server services using regular startup options. (This time you will not need –f or –m)
Note: Those that might be thinking this might make it easy for anyone to get access to SQL Server, well remember that you do have Auditing and will have control of who gets access to the local servers administrators group. If you haven't enable controls at that level then you may have bigger security issues in hand!!!
Football Team Location Problem | SQL Lion
T – SQL challenge to solve Football Team Location Problem in a single query.
Excellent - thanks for sharing - please browse for  sql server management studio
In sql server 2008 r2 the path has been changed to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Binn"
Question: Can a user with 'Sysadm' privilege in a SQL Server Instance gain access (be it privileged or any other) to the databases created under that instance without having an active account in that instance?
An example would be a user authenticated to the SQL server instance through Active Directory Domain group which as been granted a 'sysadm' privilege but the user account does not have an entry in the sysusers table in any of the databases under the same instance.
Any help would be appreciated.
You can also use tooling like PSEXEC to launch SQLCMD or even SSMS as the NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM account which by default is a Sysadmin inside SQL Server. This allows access with the same assumptions, that you have administrative access to the underlying OS. The nice thing about this approach is that you don't have to stop the service. Argenis blogged about it a while back... sqlblog.com/.../think-your-windows-administrators-don-t-have-access-to-sql-server-2008-by-default-think-again.aspx
Hello below query is wrong
CREATE LOGIN '<Login_Name>' with PASSWORD='<Password>'
login name should not be in single quote as per your demo reader will take it in single quote
The single user mode is awful! I also know another way to recover access to sql server:
This method works in case you forgot the sa password or sa account got locked out or disabled.
It's worth a try.
"SQL Server allows any member of Local Administrators group to connect to SQL Server with SYSADMIN privileges."
I guess this applies only if the builtin\administrators login is enabled in the SQL Server instance. builtin\administrators is not available in my instance and im not able to login in single user mode,even though im a WINDOWS local administrator
True - was trying it because of this [http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsazure/en-US/c307cd19-d78b-4767-8e86-127b6ebb2b6e/new-vm-sql-2014-dw-on-azure-cannot-login-to-sql-database?forum=ssdsgetstarted#73b0b6c7-db20-4630-9e6b-51a1cbbb2403
]works only if BuiltINadmin is there.
Check this for a solution.
this doesn't work in 2014 :(
Need to reset SQL password of SQL Server admin account then try SQL password recovery software which is a perfect and successful key to unlock SQL account. Read more and try from here: -:
Worked for me.. thanks
The SQLServr.Exe –m -S does not work for me. It did not return the command prompt.
I replaced it with NET START /m"SQLCMD" and then follow your subsequent steps, and it worked.
SQL database stores data in MDF format which sometimes may get corrupt due to Virus attack, invalid database file header, insufficient available space, corruption of media etc. In such situations the user can use the software SQL Recovery which can recovers
the data from corrups MDF file. More information about this tool can be found at :-

Telstra unveils iPad Air, iPad mini Retina plans
Telstra has announced its pricing plans for Apple's new iPad Air and iPad mini with Retina Display tablets.
Telstra has announced its pricing plans for Apple's new iPad Air and iPad mini with Retina Display tablets.
The iPad Air was unveiled last week to an adoring public, and tech reporters quickly posted their thoughts in a swathe of early reviews. The overall response was positive; in our review of reviews, we present the pick of the praise lavished on the iP...
Here's a round-up of some of the products, news and events that we covered this week, as well as some of the best stuff that was produced by the other titles in our publishing stable.
Microsoft has erected a gigantic Surface in London's Trafalgar Square, with a roughly 383-inch display. Visitors can walk up to the oversized Surface and stomp on the attached jumbo keyboard to interact with apps.
Following the commercial availability of Windows 8.1, Toshiba has released its 8-inch tablet, Encore.
With Apple widely expected to be launching a new iPad mini, it's worth revisiting what makes the mini such a compelling product.
Apple has begun decorating the Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco with colourful banners ahead of its 22 October event, which we expect will give us our first look at the iPad 5 and iPad mini 2.
Amazon has announced that its new Kindle Paperwhite eReader is now available through Dick Smith and Big W retail outlets across Australia.
If you've been keeping abreast of the Windows tablet market, Acer's Iconia W4 will sound very familiar.
Dell has revealed pricing and availability of its new range of products, including the Venue tablet range and the XPS 11, at an event in Sydney.
What's better than one Apple event? Two Apple events, naturally. The folks from Cupertino evidently agree, as they have dispatched invitations to the media for a gathering next Tuesday, October 22, in San Francisco at the Yerba Buena Center for the A...
An update to the Google Play Store will ensure that all tablet users will see the "Designed for tablets" tab as the default view in the Play store, Google has confirmed.
Microsoft says the decision to drop the 'RT' branding from its second generation Surface tablet was a move made to address consumer confusion between the scaled down, tablet-optimised operating system and its regular Windows 8.1 OS.
Maybe Android tablets are getting more impressive. Maybe Samsung just has a lot of clout. Whatever the reason, Twitter decided to develop an Android tablet-optimised version of its official app with a few features that are "unique" for Samsung and ju...
Apple could be in the early development stages of a 13in iPad aimed at the notebook market, an analyst has said.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

GINNY SUGIMOTO | Decreasing and preventing obesity
Part of what I love about my job as a family doctor is the variety in my workday. I get to see and help patients with everything from sprained ankles to sleep disorders.
Over the years, however, I've noticed that more and more of my patients' health issues have their roots in one chronic disease: obesity. Obesity is a term for a weight range that's above what is medically accepted as healthy.
We use your height and weight to calculate your "body mass index," or BMI. A BMI of 30 or above is considered obese. Of the 18 patients I cared for on one recent day, eight had BMIs ranging from 32 to 51. All of those patients had one or more serious chronic medical conditions partially caused by obesity.
On a personal level, I learned the consequences of lifelong obesity from my mother. She was a wonderful woman, a college-trained home economist and an excellent cook. She loved food and struggled with obesity her entire adult life. As a family we ate balanced, nutritious meals, but we tended to overeat. Partly as a consequence of obesity, Mom struggled with Type II diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, severe knee degenerative joint disease and uterine cancer.
Obesity is our nation's greatest medical crisis. In the United States, 36 percent of adults and 17 percent of children ages 2 to 19 are obese. Those numbers have increased rapidly in the last decade.
Obesity can increase the risk of the diseases my mother endured, and many others including high cholesterol, coronary heart disease, hip and knee osteoarthritis, stroke and fatty liver disease. It's also driving up health care costs. The current estimate is that the medical costs of obesity and its complications add up to about $190 billion a year.
The less tangible costs are the quality of life issues — not being able to walk to the park with your grandchildren, keep up with the demands of your job, and, for a child, enjoy simple pleasures such as playing ball with friends.
The reasons why someone becomes obese vary by person and family, but there are three main contributing factors: types and quantities of foods we eat, decrease in daily activity levels, and decrease in the quality of our sleep.
Our national food habits work against us. Where our grandparents ate mostly whole foods, such as fruits, vegetables, meats and whole grains, we now consume processed foods and sugary beverages that are high in calories and not nutritionally satisfying or healthy.
It's easy to make this choice since cooking at home takes time and skills that we may not have. Healthy foods may not be readily available in our neighborhoods and may cost more than a meal at a fast-food restaurant. Our kids may beg for the unhealthy food they see advertised.
Our society is making positive changes — the popularity of farmers markets is one sign — but we still need to choose the apple over the cupcake more often then we do now.
We also lack the daily exercise that used to be built into the day. Conveniences like elevators and computers remove our need to walk anywhere. Many schools are shrinking recess times and cutting back on the physical education classes that help kids stay active.
A less-known cause of weight gain is a lack of quality sleep. Scientists have found that sleep deprivation can lead to an increase in a hormone called ghrelin, which stimulates appetite, and causes a craving for salty, sweet and starchy foods. Our busy, plugged-in lives make it hard for us to get the sleep we need.
The good news is that we can make healthier choices. Even a modest weight loss can have big health benefits. If you are overweight, losing just 10 percent of your body weight, (for example, a 200 pound person who loses 20 pounds), can significantly reduce your risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, and other chronic diseases.
Take these steps and you will be on the right path toward decreasing and preventing obesity:
Know your BMI. If it is over 30, make a commitment to lose weight.
Make a healthy change in what you eat — try smaller portions, water instead of a sugary beverage, more fruits and vegetables for snacks or dessert, and eating earlier in the day.
Exercise and move more — start with walking 30 minutes a day, limiting screen time, and staying off the couch after dinner. Think about how you can naturally build exercise into your day by parking farther from your destination, walking up stairs instead of taking an elevator, or walking the dog rather than letting him run around in the backyard.
Make adequate sleep a priority, and limit screen time before bed.

Actually, I seem to remember her birth date being explicitly shown as 1984. I need to see the movie again to be sure in which context.
yeah, I think that's in her file in Iron Man 2.

Super Takumar/SMC Takumar 28mm f3.5 - one of the finest 28mm lenses out there on any system.
Super Takumar/SMC Takumar 35mm f3.5, there is an Auto Takumar version but those are harder to use on non-M42 bodies due to the way in which they stop down. Basically they're semi-auto - you pull a lever down to cock the aperture, then when you press the shutter the paddle in the lens mount stops the aperture down, you then have to re-cock it manually. The Super Takumar and later lenses have an instant return diaphragm, so you can set the aperture you want and then use the auto/manual switch to stop down to your preset.
The Super Tak/SMC Tak 55mm lenses are sharp and lovely, don't worry too much about f1.8 or f2 as they're the same lens, the f2 just has a baffle to stop the aperture opening as much. There was an oddball 55mm f1.8 badged as an Auto Takumar but with the instant return diaphragm of the Super Tak, it also has an aperture ring which rotates in the opposite direction to that of later models. It's a bit rare and performs well, so if you see one cheap then go for it. Mine has a 2mm gouge in the front element and still takes perfectly acceptable photos.
SMC Takumar 120mm f2.8 - I have the K version of this and it's brilliant. Relatively tiny with a good reach, you can go down to 1/125 without worrying too much about shake and thanks to the f2.8 part it often allows you to shoot distant subjects in poor light.

The Moosejaw 24oz Avex Tritan Water Bottle is not your average, run-of-the-mill water bottle. Check out that compartment on the side where you could keep anything from a handful of trail mix to a small kitten. Just kidding. Please don't put kittens in your water bottle.
So sorry, but only 4 items are allowed for comparison. I blame the gnomes and so should you.

In Lynch's defense, there's so much plot that making it into a workable two hour movie would be impossible.
To be brutally frank, Lynch, DeLaurentis, and Universal should have made this movie into a 10-part miniseries; the long version of the movie's a lot better for putting the scenes that were cut out of it back into it.

A method of designing a three-phase fully-controlled thyristor-DC motor drive system with speed and/or current closed-loop control is presented. Both the circuit design and the control algorithm of a continuous (analog) controller or a digital controller design are studied. The effectiveness of the design method is well verified by extensive experiments. The dynamics of the system reasonably confirm the theoretical analysis. In addition, the goal of multiple operating modes of the thyristor converter is also achieved. It is shown that both good performance and good flexibility with online calculation can be obtained by using a low-cost microcomputer. The parts cost of the microcomputer-based controller is still a little higher than the continuous controller, but the trend is towards lower costs of microcomputers. The main advantages of the digital controller are its versatility and flexibility

When I was in the shower the other day, I realised a little bit more hair was clogging up the drain hole than usual. Upon asking my husband what he thought about the whole thing, he calmly told me that that animals malt regularly and indeed more often at some points throughout the year. While I think this is true for animals, I think this is true to a lesser extent for humans.
I dismissed our conversation and I didn't think anything further of the matter. After all, I am a busy mother and had to get on with the day and getting the kids off to school and getting to work myself.
Fast forward to yesterday and I had just jumped out of the shower again only to notice that the water wasn't draining very quickly from the shower recess. Peering into the drainage hole again, I noticed there was more hair than usual AGAIN!
Am I going crazy? Have I always molted this much or am I just being paranoid?
I know that many people prematurely diagnose themselves with a condition using webMD or some similar site they see on Google. But I couldn't help myself and had to do some research:
Ok, I have to admit that after I did some research, I don't think that I actually am balding. I think I am overreacting. You have to agree with me however that the notion is very scary to consider as a woman. I know that thousands of middle aged women suffer from this condition, and some even as young as their twenties.
Still, I think its very empowering how many of these young women have taken charge of their lives and haven't let their condition affect them. Furthermore, these days I feel like the hairpieces and wigs that you can buy are very lifelike and genuine. Look at these ones for example. They seem so lifelike these days and would be much harder to spot.
I must admit, I have started to wonder about whether it would be easier to just shave my head and wear any old wig. You'd be able to have beautiful straight hair and not worry about bad hair days! For $30, it's very cheap at Wigs Melbourne, not to just order one and give it a try. You can't lose really!
Anyway, that being said. I think I overreacted and will spare you the drama. There's enough of that around here anyway!

It wasn't a good company and other things I ordered were just as spindly, so I won't shop with them again. Hopefully, by next year, they will take off! All my other hostas have thrived and this year I just bought Empress Wu. I was visiting in upstate NY and got her at a nice nursery there at a size of about 14" with 10 leaves!

Remember they are going after the families and civil rights of people half a world away, not a good way to win friends and influence people.
Which leads me back to my miniseries preference. The whole show could have been much better if they sat down, worked out the plot and the conspiracies and an ending and then shot a series that could be aired over a few quick days or, if still hour long episodes, all be pretty much in the can before the show started. Or at least available for a complete DVD.

Chronic pain can limit your everyday activities and make it hard to work. It can also affect how involved you are with friends and family members. Co-workers, family, and friends may have to do more than their usual share when you cannot do the things you normally do.
Unwanted feelings -- such as frustration, resentment, and stress -- are often a result. These feelings and emotions can worsen your back pain.
Mind-body relationship
The mind and body work together -- they cannot be separated. The way your mind control thoughts and attitudes affects the way your body controls pain.
Pain itself, and the fear of pain, can cause you to avoid both physical and social activities. Over time this leads to less physical strength and weaker social relationships. It can also cause further lack of functioning and pain.
Stress has both physical and emotional effects on our bodies. It can raise our blood pressure, increase our breathing rate and heart rate, and cause muscle tension. These things are hard on the body. They can lead to fatigue, sleeping problems, and changes in appetite.
If you feel tired but have a hard time falling asleep, you may have stress-related fatigue. Or you may notice that you can fall asleep, but you have a hard time staying asleep. These are all reasons to talk with your doctor about the physical effects stress is having on your body.
Stress can also lead to anxiety, depression, a dependence on others, or an unhealthy dependence on medications.
Depression is very common among people who have chronic pain. Pain can cause depression or make existing depression worse. Depression can also make existing pains worse.
If you or your family members have or have had depression, there is a greater risk that you could develop depression from your chronic pain. Seek help at the first sign of depression. Even mild depression can affect how well you can manage your pain and stay active.
Signs of depression include:
- Frequent feelings of sadness, anger, worthlessness, or hopelessness
- Less energy
- Less interest in activities, or less pleasure from your activities
- Difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep
- Decreased or increased appetite that causes major weight loss or weight gain
- Difficulty concentrating
- Thoughts about death, suicide, or hurting yourself
What to do about your emotions
A common type of therapy for people with chronic pain is cognitive behavioral therapy. Seeking help from a therapist can help you:
- Learn how to have positive thoughts instead of negative ones
- Reduce your fear of pain
- Make important relationships stronger
- Develop a sense of freedom from your pain
If your pain is the result of an accident or emotional trauma, your doctor can assess you for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Many people with PTSD are not able to deal with their back pain until they deal with the emotional stress that their accidents or traumas caused.
If you think you may be depressed, or if you are having a hard time controlling your emotions, talk with your doctor. Get help sooner rather than later. Your doctor may also suggest medicines to help with your feelings of stress or sadness.

UPPER SANDUSKY -- The Wynford Lady Royals were handed a daunting task for their season opener. They were visitors in an imposing environment against a legendary coach who has a veteran team led by an All-Ohio player.
Wynford more than made a good account of themselves.
The Lady Royals jumped out to a first quarter lead, but the Lady Rams used their defensive pressure and offensive accuracy to overcome the early deficit to post a 54-42 win.
"They are a good team," noted Wynford coach Amy Taylor-Sheldon. "They have a first teamer (all-state) in Clare Aubry, and (coach) Andra (Bell) is a legend around here; and we had five girls who had never started a game before. I'm really happy with the effort we put forth tonight."
The Royals came out of the gate with their nerves showing, losing their first four possessions while watching Upper take the lead 6-0. But they gained their composure and built a 15-11 lead after eight minutes.
After junior Yuvonne Henry tied the score at 7 and 9, senior post Katie Heinlen scored the final six points for the visitors to build the advantage.
The Lady Rams turned the tables quickly, scoring the first 11 points of the sec-
ond quarter, and they never trailed again.
"We didn't rotate on defense very well during that stretch, and they took advantage of us," noted Taylor-Sheldon. "On top of that, Brooke (McCombs) was on the bench with three fouls, and we could have used her there. From then on, we were playing catch-up. I am really proud of the effort our girls gave, and they never gave up."
Aubry finished with 12 points, but none were more heart-breaking to the Lady Royals than her steal of the fourth quarter inbounds pass for a lay-up that took the Rams lead to double-figures at 40-29.
Sharpshooter Alex Plott was the Lady Rams' leading scorer with 14 points, and she put the final touches on the win with two treys down the stretch.
Upper was accurate from the field, making 24 of their 41 shots, and their defense forced 20 Wynford turnovers. Wynford was a respectable 16 of 35 from the field, with at least five shots that teasingly rimmed out.
Brooke McCombs led Wynford in her limited time, scoring 11 points. Henry had 10 points to back her up, followed by Heinlen with nine. She narrowly missed a double-double as she snared 11 rebounds.
"I love playing here," said Taylor-Sheldon about the Upper Sandusky gymnasium. "This is a great environment with a lot of history, and you know you're going to play a well-disciplined team. It was a good test of our team, and we can measure ourselves against a pretty good opponent."
Wynford's next test is tonight at River Valley.
The JV Lady Royals of Mark Kocher took an early lead and held off a fast-charging Upper JV squad, coming out on top 43-28. KaiLee Schiefer had an impressive 21 points, and freshman Teniel Krebs made her debut on the high school scene with 13 points. Olivia Frey had nine to lead Upper.

Undecided questions
if sheep in korean is 양 and girl is 소녀 how would i put those together to make the name SheepGirl?
Please enter between 2 and 2000 characters.
Sort by:
Girl would be "Yeoja(여자)" but depends on who your saying SheepGirl too. A teen girl would use 소녀 but a normal girl would be 여자. Most people use 여자 though. So it would most likely be "YangYeoja (양여자)" and not YangSonyeo (양소녀) but i'm not positive because it's not my first language and i'm trying to improve it. I hope i helped :PP

Katie Holmes
Katie Holmes in Current/Elliott Snap Jacket in Mississippi Blue
Katie Holmes was seen walking home from school with Suri. I love Suri's face here, she seems like she's such a spirited child! I'm sure she's going to inherit her mom's fashion sense!
Katie wore her Current/Elliott Denim jacket in Mississippi blue with a printed blouse and full skirt. This is one of my favorite washes for the snap jacket, I think it's such a perfect shade of blue and looks great with so many different outfits! You can see how else Katie styled this jacket here and you can buy Current/Elliott online at SINGER22.com.

Katie Holmes in Rag & Bone Leggings in Midnight
Katie Holmes was spotted arriving to rehearsal for her Broadway show Dead Accounts in New York with daughter Suri. She wore a pair of Rag & Bone Leggings in Midnight with one of her countless pairs of the Newbury boots; also by the brand.
I noticed that we haven't seen Katie in many distressed jeans in quite some time. Since she is in the Rag & Bone groove at the moment, I would like to see her wear a pair of the Skinny in Rock W/Holes or their Hampstead Skinny. Those are two pairs that will look great on her in my opinion. Click here to purchase Rag & Bone jeans at SINGER22.

Katie Holmes in Rag & Bone The Skinny in Preston
Katie Holmes was spotted out for a walk in New York by herself while wearing a pair of the Rag & Bone Skinny jeans in Preston with a pair of their Newbury boots.
This is the first time we have spotted Katie wearing a pair of jeans from Rag & Bone. What I like about Katie is that she is not scared to test out new brands. We have seen her in everything from Habitual to Isabel Marant and she is never afraid to try out different styles either. You can click here to purchase Rag & Bone at SINGER22.

Katie Holmes in Isabel Marant Marso Jeans in White
Katie Holmes was spotted after having brunch with daughter Suri at The Cookshop in Chelsea, New York. She gave her many Mother jeans a rest and wore a pair of jeans from the new Isabel Marant collection. The Marso jeans in White to be exact.
Katie is a huge fan of Isabel Marant jeans and I am happy to see her wearing the embroidery trend. She is one that is not usually shy when it comes to new trends. One thing that I am surprised about is not seeing Katie wear the Renell jeans by Isabel Marant or the River Cords from the Etoile line. I think those two styles would look really great on her. You can click here to purchase these jeans at LaGarconne $430.

Field Work Fail
Protein Packing
Harvard University and XVIVO have come together again (Previouslyw/ a commercial focus, Previouslierw/an Academic focus) to add to the growing series of scientific animations for BioVisions -- Harvard's multimedia lab in the department of Molecular and Cellular Biology. 'Protein Packing' strives to more accurately depict the molecular chaos in each and every cell, with proteins jittering around in what may seem like random motion. Proteins occupy roughly 40% of the cytoplasm, creating an environment that risks unintentional interaction and aggregation. Via diffusion and motor protein transport, these molecules are directed to sites where they are needed.
Much of this is no doubt inspired by the beautiful art and explained illustrations of David Goodsell, a biologist at Scripps who has been accurately portraying the crowdedness of the cellular landscape for a long time now.[more inside]
Naturalis Historia
"My subject is a barren one – the world of nature, or in other words life; and that subject in its least elevated department, and employing either rustic terms or foreign, nay barbarian words that actually have to be introduced with an apology. Moreover, the path is not a beaten highway of authorship, nor one in which the mind is eager to range: there is not one of us who has made the same venture, nor yet one Roman who has tackled single-handed all departments of the subject."Naturalis Historia was written by Pliny the Elder between 77 and 79 CE and was meant to serve as a kind of proto-encyclopedia discussing all of the ancient knowledge available to him, covered in enough depth and breadth to make it by a reasonable margin the largest work to survive to the modern day from the Roman era. The work includes discussions on astronomy, meteorology, geography, mineralogy, zoology and botany organized along Aristotelian divisions of nature but also includes essays on human inventions and institutions. It is dedicated to the Emperor Titus in its epistle to the Emperor Vespasian, a close friend of Pliny who relied on his extensive knowledge, and its unusually careful citations of sources as well as its index makes it a precursor to modern scholarly works. It was Pliny's last work, as well as sadly his sole surviving one, and was published not long before his death attempting to save a friend from the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius that destroyed Pompeii and Herculaneum, famously recounted by Pliny's eponymous nephew Pliny the Younger.

Secret Universe
The Hidden Life Of the Cell (57:24) There is a battle playing out inside your body right now. It started billions of years ago and it is still being fought in every one of us every minute of every day. It is the story of a viral infection - the battle for the cell. This film reveals the exquisite machinery of the human cell system from within the inner world of the cell itself - from the frenetic membrane surface that acts as a security system for everything passing in and out of the cell, the dynamic highways that transport cargo across the cell and the remarkable turbines that power the whole cellular world to the amazing nucleus housing DNA and the construction of thousands of different proteins all with unique tasks. The virus intends to commandeer this system to one selfish end: to make more viruses. And they will stop at nothing to achieve their goal. Exploring the very latest ideas about the evolution of life on earth and the bio-chemical processes at the heart of every one of us, and revealing a world smaller than it is possible to comprehend, in a story large enough to fill the biggest imaginations.
You may be familiar with molecular movies from my two previous megaposts collecting them, but this extended documentary uses original animation that is collected into a coherent educational narrative and is just so fucking gorgeous. Enjoy.[more inside]

Fighting Autoimmunity
CONSIDERATION of one of the challenges detailed here--the risk of inducing oral tolerance--has led my group and others to pursue edible vaccines as tools for quashing autoimmunity. Although oral delivery of antigens derived from infectious agents often stimulates the immune system, oral delivery of "autoantigens" (proteins derived from uninfected tissue in a treated individual) can suppress immune activity--a phenomenon seen frequently in test animals. No one fully understands the reasons for this difference.
Some of the evidence that ingesting autoantigens, or "self-antigens," might suppress autoimmunity comes from studies of type I diabetes, which results from autoimmune destruction of the insulin-producing cells (beta cells) of the pancreas. This destruction progresses silently for a time. Eventually, though, the loss of beta cells leads to a drastic shortage of insulin, a hormone needed to help cells take up sugar from the blood for energy. The loss results in high blood sugar levels. Insulin injections help to control diabetes, but they are by no means a cure; diabetics face an elevated risk of severe neurological and vascular complications.
In the past 20 years, investigators have identified several beta cell proteins that can elicit autoimmunity in people predisposed to type I diabetes. The main culprits, however, are insulin and a protein called GAD (glutamic acid decarboxylase). Researchers have also made progress in detecting when diabetes is "brewing." The next step, then, is to find ways of stopping the underground process before any symptoms arise.
To that end, my colleagues and I have developed plant-based diabetes vaccines, such as potatoes containing insulin or GAD linked to the nontoxic immunostimulating B subunit of the V. cholerae toxin (to enhance uptake of the antigens by M cells and processing by dendritic cells). Feeding of the vaccines to a mouse strain that becomes diabetic helped to suppress the immune attack and to prevent or delay the onset of high blood sugar.
Transgenic plants cannot yet produce the amounts of self-antigens that would be needed for a viable vaccine against human diabetes or other autoimmune diseases. But, as is true for infectious diseases, investigators are engineering chloroplasts to overcome this challenge.
Edible vaccines for combating autoimmunity and infectious diseases are close to being ready for large-scale testing in people. The technical obstacles seem surmountable. Nothing would be more satisfying than to protect the health of many millions of now defenseless children around the globe.
WILLIAM H. R. LANGRIDGE, a leader in the effort to develop edible vaccines for infectious and autoimmune diseases, is a professor in the department of biochemistry and at the Center for Health Disparities and Molecular Medicine at the Loma Linda University School of Medicine. After receiving his Ph.D. in biochemistry from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst in 1973, he conducted genetic research on insect viruses and plants at the Boyce Thompson Institute for Plant Research at Cornell University. In 1987 he moved to the Plant Biotechnology Center of the University of Alberta in Edmonton, and he joined Loma Linda in 1993.

Journal Sentinel sports columnist Bob Wolfley offers his take on the local and national sports scene.
NBA broadcasters plan other programming
The National Basketball Association announced Monday the first two weeks of the NBA season were canceled because players and owners have failed to reach a new collective bargaining agreement.
What programming plans do TNT, ESPN and Fox Sports Wisconsin have now that games have been lost?
We put that question to those networks on Tuesday. TNT and ESPN carry NBA telecasts. FS Wisconsin carries Milwaukee Bucks telecasts.
TNT responded by a statement in an email.
"Like NBA fans our hope is that a favorable resolution is reached for both sides," said Sal Petruzzi, senior vice president-communications for Turner Broadcasting System. "We believe in the strength of the NBA brand and hope for an outcome that preserves as much of the 2011-'12 season as possible.
"In regards to programming, we certainly have contingency plans for the initial six regular season TNT games that are impacted by last night's announcement," Petruzzi said. "TNT is a general entertainment network that features originals, sports and acquired programming. As such, our schedule will consist of the network's regular primetime entertainment lineup."
Spokesmen for ESPN said in an email that the network will carry more college football and college basketball telecasts to fill the NBA void in November. If more of the season is canceled, the approach to filling the gaps will be the same - more college football and basketball.
A spokeswoman for FS Wisconsin did not immediately provide an answer to the question.

Smog blanketed the city, leading to days in which the streetlights were kept on around the clock. The era of Pittsburgh being known as "hell with the lid off" ended when Mayor David Lawrence began enforcing the Smoke Control Ordinance in the late 1940s. Doctors and scientists are being called upon to speak at the hearings being held this week in Pittsburgh over the EPA's new Clean Power Plan. To asses the new plan from the health angle were Dr. Alan Lockwood of Physicians for Social Responsibility and Kevin Stewart, director of Environmental Health American Lung Association of the Mid-Atlantic. Dr. Lockwood believed that the new regulations would be a huge step toward improving air quality. Coal Supporters Rally At Highmark Stadium By Michael Lynch • Jul 30, 2014 Michael Lynch / 90.5 WESA Pennsylvania is the fourth-largest coal-producing state in the nation and Fred Hails, a fifth-generation coal miner from Washington County, wants to see it stay that way. "You're going to see rolling blackouts," he said. "You're going to have high electric bills, and I don't see the sense in shipping our jobs overseas and buying back energy to support our country." Activists Call on City of Pittsburgh to Divest from Fossil Fuel Industry By Liz Reid • Nov 5, 2013 Climate change activist Bill McKibben has been spending considerable time in Pittsburgh recently, first for the Power Shift 2013 conference in October, and on Monday to receive an award from the Thomas Merton Center. The Thomas Merton Center bills itself as "Pittsburgh's peace and social justice center," and along with McKibben, they are launching a campaign to pressure the City of Pittsburgh and other regional institutions to divest from the fossil fuel industry. Rep. Murphy, Coal Leaders Point to Federal Standards as "Job Killers" By Tim Camerato • Oct 28, 2013 Tim Camerato/90.5 WESA Coal advocates, union leaders, and tradesmen were joined by U.S. Rep. Tim Murphy (PA-R-18) in the Allegheny County Courthouse's courtyard to denounce new standards on carbon emissions for power plants. Last month, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed new rules to cut carbon emissions for all future coal-fired power plants. Regulations on current plants have not been released yet. Rothfus Introduces Bill to Relax Emissions Standards for Some Coal-Fired Power Plants By Liz Reid • Sep 24, 2013 Much attention has been given to the Environmental Protection Agency's recent announcement of tough restrictions on emissions from new coal- and gas-fired power plants, but Republican Congressman Keith Rothfus (PA-12) has his sights set on another, earlier EPA rule. On Thursday, Rothfus introduced new legislation that would exempt certain types of coal-fired power plants from EPA standards passed last December. Clean Water Groups Advocate for Stronger EPA Coal Plant Regulations By Katherine Blackley • Jul 24, 2013 Joseph A / flickr Listen Listening... / 22:17 According to a new report from a coalition of environmental and clean water groups, including the Sierra Club and Clean Water Action, at least 20 of 28 coal fired power plants in Pennsylvania discharge toxic coal ash or wastewater. These plants have no limits on the amount of toxic metals they are allowed to dump in public waters. Kim Teplitzky of the Sierra Club is one of the many concerned citizens calling for more stringent regulation by the Environmental Protection Agency under the Clean Water Act.

My answer is NO WAY. But not because I've "been there, done that." Which is why I said "Other." NO WAY - because I do not have the stomach to be bearin' it all in public, and too many other people who do not either still rock the crop top and it is not ok.
