The 'crazy ants' invasion has reached new heights extending itself from Texas to Florida and they seem to be unstoppable.
Newsmax reports that several landowners have to destroy thousands of Tawny crazy ants that invade their property every year but they keep coming back. The ants are originally from South America and they were first spotted in Texas back in 2002. They have also been seen in Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, Florida and a research scientist says that they are within 4 miles of Alabama.
These insects are not as dangerous as fire ants but they multiply quickly and find their way into warm, tight spaces in homes such as electrical wires, car engines and under floorboards. Unfortunately, traditional extermination chemicals don't seem to get rid of these animals so scientists are still figuring out a way to get rid of them.

SAHA will be housing 'Jobs Plus' program
$2.5 million federal infusion will help San Antonians skill-wise and socially.
Updated 2:36 am, Friday, February 25, 2011
Venus Juarez arrived at Alazan-Apache Courts two years ago with little more to her name than a bad criminal record.
After a stint in jail for drug possession and months of sleeping on other people's floors with her two young daughters, she came to view her placement at the public housing complex on the near West Side as a second chance.
She joined a self-sufficiency program, learned some job skills and went back to school. Now on track to graduate in December from San Antonio College and working at a paid internship in her field, Juarez is an example of the kind of resident the San Antonio Housing Authority is hoping to reach with a new infusion of $2.5 million for jobs training.
News Channel
The funding will launch a "Jobs Plus" program aimed at educating and sending more than 1,000 residents to work or placing them into new positions with higher wages.
Housing officials will use the money to open an office in April and hire five staff members to counsel residents one-on-one in personal finance and attaining job skills. The office will operate on site at the complex and will also serve residents from Mirasol Homes.
"Everything will be aimed at helping a person not only get a job, but keep a job," said SAHA president and CEO Lourdes Castro Ramirez.
Funding for the project will last five years and comes from the federal Social Innovation Fund, a new public-private partnership championed by President Barack Obama. The grant was awarded by the Mayor's Fund to Advance New York City. San Antonio is the first city outside of New York to receive the Jobs-Plus money.
Catholic Charities and the Annie E. Casey Foundation also provided $150,000 in matching funds.
Steve Saldaña, president of Catholic Charities, said the program fits with the agency's core mission.
"Families can't be strong and supportive unless they have strong and supportive jobs," he said.
Juarez, 32, who benefited from a similar SAHA program called "Family Self Sufficiency" aimed at weaning residents off of government support, said a part of the idea behind Jobs Plus is to build social ties. Residents who go through the program will, in turn, be better positioned to help their neighbors and inspire them.
"People just need a little help, like I did," she said.

Jerusalem (CNSNews.com) - Turkish officials said Wednesday that the official death toll from Tuesday's earthquake has risen to nearly 3,500 with more than 16,000 people injured and thousands more still missing. Citizens and officials dug through rubble - some with their bare hands - trying to reach survivors and family members who were trapped beneath.
US Press Attache in Tel Aviv, Larry Schwartz, told CNSNews.com that he knew of no reports of American casualties from the earthquake in Turkey. Attempts to contact the US Embassy in Ankara were unsuccessful.
US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Henry Shelton was in Turkey when the deadly earthquake struck and arrived in Israel today for talks with Israeli leaders. Israel television's English news reported that Shelton had experienced the earthquake from his 17th floor hotel room but was not injured.
Also traveling in Turkey when the trembler struck was US Energy Secretary Bill Richardson, who also escaped injury.
In the naval base town of Golcuk, on the Marmara Sea, the town's mayor said as many as 10,000 people could still be trapped beneath the debris. Golcuk, a city of about 80,000, straddles a major fault line and was one of the hardest hit areas.
Some residents there, according to the BBC, are angry because the rescue efforts seem to be centered at the naval base, where more than 200 military personnel, including top commanders, are still reported missing.

2002 Alumni Spotlight:
Jessica Yu
Yale fencer Jessica Yu was faced with a crucial decision
following graduation in 1987 -- law school or no law
school? At a time when many of her friends were going to law
school, Yu wasnt sure that was the right career path
for her. An English major, she had a creative flair fueled
by the unyielding support of her parents.
Unlike other high-pressure parents, Yus folks indulged
her creative ways...and dissuaded her from attending law
A bunch of my friends were going to law school,
she says from her Inscrutable Films office in Los Angeles.
And when I asked my dad if I should go too, he said,
Dont go to law school.
An excellent fencer and member of two NCAA national
championship teams (1984 and 1985), Yu is now a world renown
film director with an Academy Award under her belt. Shunning
law school never looked so good.
As a student at Yale, Yu studied English and spent much of
her free time on the fencing circuit.
Fencing took up most of my weekends, she says.
I was on the team, but I was also on the national
circuit, so I was doing the college tournaments and national
tournaments at the same time. So, in some ways, I feel like
I spent more time fencing than I did in other college
experiences. But that certainly wasnt a bad
A two-time All-American and three-time All-Ivy fencer, Yu
was equally as successful as a student as she was an
athlete. She had her choice of universities that she could
have attended, but she says she chose Yale because of
fencing coach Henry Harutunian.
I took fencing really seriously when I was in high
school, she says. And I met the coach Henry
Harutunian &endash; hes just an amazing person
&endash; and so, I knew that fencing was going to be a big
part of my life when I was in college. So that kind of
tipped the scales for my applying to Yale.
She went on to have a great fencing career (see
aforementioned national championships and All-American
selections), but also had an equally spectacular academic
career. Yu was a first-team GTE Academic All-American her
senior year and an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship Award
winner. She calls the 1985 NCAA championship season her
fondest memory of her Yale fencing career.
Fencing is such an individual sport, and I always
thought the team label was kind of pushing it a
little bit, she says with a chuckle. I
didnt necessarily feel that you had that much of a
connection with your teammates, but that year, we really
did. I remember that our fourth-string person had an
incredible bout where she beat someone that I think most
people didnt think shed have a chance to beat.
And she ended up winning the championship for us. That was a
great experience, and we ended up really pulling for each
other that year. It really felt like a team experience at it
was just incredibly fun.
After a stint fencing around the world upon graduation, Yu
started doing some production assistant work in San
Francisco in 1989, working mostly on commercials. Shortly
thereafter, she began working at a bigger production company
in Los Angeles and began to make short feature films.
Her first short feature was titled Sour Death
Balls (which won several awards, including Best Live
Action Short at the Santa Barbara Film Festival) and was
followed by Home Base: A Chinatown Called
Heinlenville. Other shorts of hers include Iron
Silk and Men of Reenaction. In addition,
Yu was the associate producer on the Oscar-nominated
Rose Kennedy: A Life to Remember and the 1995
Academy Award winner, Maya Lin: A Strong Clear
However, Yu is most famous for her Oscar Award-winning
documentary about Mark OBrien, called Breathing
Lessons. The film captures the life of Berkeley,
Calif., poet and journalist OBrien, who has been
confined to a 900-pound iron lung since contracting polio at
the age of six. Using his teeth and a rubberized pencil tip,
OBrien writes essays about the world as seen through
the eyes of a severely disabled person. The documentary,
which had viewers and critics weeping throughout the film,
debuted at the 1996 Sundance Film Festival and won several
honors before the Academy Award, including the International
Documentary Association Achievement Award for Best
She is perhaps best known for her quip at the 1997 Academy
Awards as she accepted the Oscar for Best Documentary Short
Film: You know youve entered new territory when
your outfit costs more than your film. Admittedly, Yu
wasnt sure what to do with the Oscar Award after she
received it. It now sits in her house.
They give you a velvet bag for it and I always keep it
covered, she says. Im not being
disrespectful &endash; I just cant brandish it. I just
make sure the cats dont knock it over.
She comments that she struggled to get her legs under her
after hearing her name called for the award. As the pinnacle
of a filmmaking experience, Yu still recalls the night as a
It was all sort of unreal to me, she says with a
slight chuckle. At the time, I was just doing
documentaries, so its sort of the last thing you
expect when youre working on a low-budget documentary
to be standing there in a borrowed dress.
Although Yu doesnt fence anymore, she can still
quickly draw parallels between her experiences as an
All-American fencer and an Academy Award winning
In fencing you feel like &endash; even if its a
tournament &endash; you feel like if you do well, if you
win, or whatever, you feel like you earned it, she
says. But with a film, you have to feel that sense of
accomplishment once you finish the film, not necessarily
winning the award. Its a wonderful thing to have other
people say that they like your film, but that cant be
your reason for doing it. The award was icing on the
These days, Yu is working on another documentary and is also
working for John Wells production company. She
recently directed an episode of The West Wing
for NBC and will direct an episode of ER in the
coming months. When asked if her athletic accomplishments,
filmmaking accomplishments, or television accomplishments
are the most special, she doesnt hesitate to offer her
Well, all of that pales in comparison to the fact that
I have a baby this year, she says. I know
its such a cliché, but its so true. All
that stuff was incredibly fun and good, but when you have a
kid it just changes your prospective.
So is there a future Yale fencer in the house?
I dont know, she says with a laugh.
But I think its really important to be involved
with something that has to do with sports or athletics. So
you never know.
As Yu looks toward the future with her husband (a writer)
and her new baby, she still keeps in touch with people of
her past. One of her good friends is Andrea
Metkus, a former teammate
at Yale (now a surgeon in San Francisco), and Henry
Harutunian, her coach at Yale (He still looks the
same, she says brightly.).
Nearly 15 years ago Yu was faced with the decision of
whether to attend law school or not. She obviously made the
right decision. Now, when posed with a question of where she
wants to be in 10 years, there is no decision to be
I want to do what Im doing now, she says.
I just dont want to be driving the same

Costello best in Fingal after a Classic year
IT'S been a great year for the local riders on the national scene, and the success that they gained was hard-earned and well deserved. There is nothing better during a day's racing to see local riders take the chequered flag and to see the delight on their faces at the end, and this year I have no doubt who are my top five local riders.
1st Keith Costello
There are a few who dislike Classic racing, but those that do were amazed this year, as the 350 class produced some of the best racing of the season, and the top man at the end was Skerries rider Keith Costello. Keith started seven out of the eight meetings of the year, as he was away for the Bush, and with the exception of the Armoy event that was run in torrential rain, where Keith finished third, he went on to win the other six, and in the past two years he has only been beaten twice on the roads in the 350 class. Keith started the season at the Cookstown when he beat his old sparring partner Alan Brew by just 0.276 of a second, and at the Tandragee the following week he again beat Brew. The Mid-Antrim was the first national after the TT, and again Keith took the win by out-braking his great friend Barry Davidson at the final corner to take the win. Missing from the grid at the Bush races the following week, we saw Barry Davidson close the championship gap, but at the Skerries normal service was resumed when another close finish was the order of the day, Keith getting the better of Barry on the final lap. Walderstown saw Davidson fail to finish and Keith take another win, from Brew and Denis Gallagher, while the torrential rain at Armoy saw Keith finish third in a race that really shouldn't have been run. Killalane was the final race of the year, and again the great battle between Keith and Barry came down to the final corner, with Keith again taking the chequered flag. In doing so he trimphed in the Classic Clubs Championship, along with the Ulster and Southern Centre Championships, the Loughshinny Clubs Championship and - to cap off a great year - retained his Irish Championship. Next season Keith will not be on the grid, as he has decided to take a year out. His clean racing style will be definitely missed, but there is no doubt that he is my local rider of the year.
2nd Andy Farrell
Andy Farrell got his season off to a terrific start by winning the first two 400 races of the year at Cookstown and Tandragee, and at the Mid Antrim he again took the honours. Giving the Bush a miss, Andy's next outing was at the Skerries, and while leading the race his trusty Kawasaki engine blew up, handing the victory to David Yeomans. Getting a loan of his old bike from Derek Scuffil, Andy took the win at Walderstown, but at the Armoy event his Kawasaki again blew up. Despite a nasty crash at the Ulster Grand Prix in August that forced the Skerries rider to sit out the Manx Grand Prix, Andy returned to Killalane to take the win in the final race of the year. Securing the Irish Championship, Andy finished runner-up in the Loughshinny Championship, and takes my second place in the best local riders.
3rd Micko Sweeney
Micko Sweeney was better prepared for this season, and he announced his team plans early in the year, which saw his 600 Yamaha and 1000 BMW decked out in the MJR (Martin Jones) Racing banner, and his 650 in the colours of Keily Heating. Riding in the top Open class on the Irish roads is a tough challenge, and the talented Skerries rider is well up to the challenge. At the Cookstown he took third place in the 650 class after lying second until the last lap when Jamie Hamilton squeezed past to take the runner-up place on the podium. At the Tandragee Micko scored a fine sixth place in the 600 and in the 650 class he had the loan of Peter O'Flaherty's slower Suzuki as his new Kawasaki was away getting work done on it for the North West, and again he finished sixth. At the International North West he scored a fine eighth place in the 650 race and ninth in the 600. Two more excellent weeks at the Mid Antrim and Bush races saw Micko on the rostrum twice, and for the rest of the season Micko scored top-six places at all the National races, and at the Ulster Grand Prix he won the B race in the 600 Supersport race two. Like all riders, Micko looks to the Manx Grand Prix as his priority, and as the winner of the Junior Manx a few years ago he was looking for more success with his 650, while he also rode for top local sponsor Martin Bullock in the Junior and Senior races. Lying second in the Junior race, he was unlucky when he had to slow with a problem that was later diagnosed as head stock bearing collapsing on his 600 Yamaha, and yet he still finished seventh. He had a brilliant second place in the ill-fated 650 race and in the Senior race, run in terrible conditions, he finished in a lowly 12th place. Micko is one of the few riders who are good on the roads and the Short Circuits, and he scored great results, especially in the 650 class.
4th Peter O'Flaherty
Lusk rider Peter O'Flaherty came so close to winning the Irish Championship at Killalane, and were it not for factors outside his control he would have secured a title that he really deserved for all his hard work during the season. At the Cookstown Peter took the chequered flag, but the race win went to English rider Scott Campbell who started from the second group. A non-starter at the Tandragee, Peter had a bad day at the Mid Antrim, finishing in his worst position of the year in 12th place. However, the following week at Bush he took his first win on the roads. He followed this up at the Skerries, again taking the chequered flag. At Walderstown he took third after a great scrap with Mark Shiels, and he finished third again at Armoy. Coming into the last race at Killalane he was locked in a great battle with Ronnie Scott for the Irish Championship. The Junior Support was red-flagged twice, with Peter lying second in both of the races, and under the rules the riders had to be sent back to the paddock. When the race eventually went ahead, Pater was battling for the lead with Dave Butler, and under braking at Carney's tree Peter was pushed up the slip road by Butler, and while he was able to rejoin the race in sixth, the shortened race saw him finish in the same place and the Championship went to Mark Shiels. Apart from his great season, the Lusk man gave his 600 Yamaha to Michael Dunlop, who went on to win the 600 race at the TT on the same bike, and I am delighted to give Peter my fourth place in the local riders.
5th David Yeomans
During the year David 'Yomo' Yeomans restricted his outings, for both financial and work reasons, but when the Skerries rider did take his place on the grid in the 400 class, he was in excellent form. In his first outing of the year at the Tandragee he was narrowly beaten by his near neighbour Andy Farrell, and at Skerries he scored his second win on his local course. At Walderstown the following week he again finished second to Farrell. The Manx Grand Prix saw the popular Skerries rider take an excellent fifth place in the 400 race, and at Killalane he was again pipped by Andy Farrell in another close race but still clinched the Southern Centre Championship. Yomo is a rider who loves the 400 class, and while his Honda is not the quickest bike in the race, he makes up for that with his stylish riding which makes him one of the most popular riders in the paddock. Keep 'er lit!

Apollo-Ridge routs Riverview, setting up showdown with West Shamokin
Apollo-Ridge quarterback Jesse Zelonka had a busy day Saturday.
The senior ran for 236 yards and passed for 111 yards as the Vikings took the measure of Riverview, 41-16, in an Eastern Conference game at Riverside Park.
Among the highlights for Zelonka was a 92-yard run from scrimmage and a 64-yard scoring strike to Alex Smith.
The Vikings victory sets up a showdown for third place Friday at Owens Field against West Shamokin.
Apollo-Ridge (6-2, 5-2) is rated ninth in the current Trib Total Media Class A poll.
Riverview fell to 1-7, 1-6.
The all-time series between the two schools is tied at 8-8.
Dom Schrecengost recovered a muffed opening kickoff for the Vikings at the Riverview 30, but the Raiders held.
On the following possession, Zelonka dove into the end zone for an apparent touchdown, but the officials ruled him out of bounds at the Riverview 3, setting up a run for Ben Gembella on the following play.
The Raiders drove deep into Apollo-Ridge territory, but on fourth down, lineman Joe Brown caught a short pass, but an ineligible receiver penalty gave Apollo-Ridge possession at its 8.
On the first play from scrimmage, Zelonka found an opening on the right side and raced 92 yards for a touchdown.
Late in the second period, Zelonka found Smith open on a fly pattern left for a 64-yard scoring play that put the Vikings in front, 21-0, as Apollo-Ridge continued its quest to finish the regular season on a high note.
"If anything, we want to gain momentum," Zelonka said. "Playoffs are coming and we have a big game against West Shamokin who we're tied with in the conference right now."
Riverview's Jake Massack recovered an Apollo-Ridge fumble on the first play from scrimmage in the third quarter. The Raiders drove 42 yards in seven plays, with Tyler Nigro hauling in a 24-yard pass from Zach Hanus to put Riverview on the scoreboard.
"We moved the ball well, offensively, and made some great plays, defensively," said Raiders coach Todd Massack. "We just can't string enough of them together. That's kind of been the story of our season."
Another Vikings fumble, this one recovered by Jake Paradise, halted an Apollo-Ridge drive. But Riverview couldn't capitalize.
Gembella, Lonny Wells and freshman Duane Brown all ran for touchdowns on the next three Vikings possessions to put the game away.
"This was a little sloppy to begin with," said Apollo-Ridge coach John Skiba. "We've played opponents where their records weren't great and it's tough getting the kids to focus. Then we have four turnovers today, which was absolutely inexcusable by us."
Riverview's Keir Barber, who carried the ball 36 times for 144 yards, concluded the scoring with a nine-yard run with 10 seconds left in the game.
"I think we wanted it, we moved the ball, but we couldn't finish," Barber said. "We'd take some bad penalties and let a few plays get away from us."
Apollo-Ridge collected 466 offensive yards.

About the Book
(Artist Book, 120 pages, 8x10 inch/20x25 cm) COLD WAR IN A TRASH BAG is based on recently found anonymous Cold War photographic footage from the Ukraine. In the summer of 2010 thousands of abandoned black and white negatives were discovered in Vinnitsa, a place only 250 km away from Chernobyl. In miserable condition, the ripped, scratched and torn filmstrips obviously had been completely forgotten and left decaying through the first 20 years of the country's independence.

Britney Spears
Britney Spears' new lawyer, Adam Streisand, was spotted leaving Los Angeles Superior Court after being ejected for not having any evidence to support his claims.
Adam, who is Barbara Streisand's second cousin, is attempting to represent the 26-year-old Gimme More singer in her fight to have her father removed as conservator of her financial and medical matters.
It's been a long weekend in the UCLA Medical Center for Britney Spears. And as soon as today, she may be trying to get her father out of the control position of her life.
Jamie Spears was granted temporary control of her medical and financial affairs this past Friday, after a judge deemed her unable to oversee the matters herself. But the tumultuous relationship between father and daughter may prevent Brit from submitting to her daddy's wishes.
Earlier this afternoon, Britney Spears' parents paid her a visit after spending time at K-Fed's house, showing up just before 1 pm and staying until a little past 6 pm.
Diagnosed as a severe bipolar patient, it looks like the troubled pop tart has found herself a temporary home in the UCLA Medical Center.
There's no doubt that Britney Spears' parents are horrified at how their daughter has been living as of late, and they're finally doing something about it. Brit's dad, Jamie Spears, went to an emergency court hearing yesterday and was granted temporary legal control over his daughter.
What this means, specifically, is that Mr. Spears has authority to "prosecute any civil harassment restraining orders." And according to court rep Allan Parachini, "There was a civil harassment restraining order issued against Sam Lutfi, but the specifics of that order are unknown."
As if she needs any more drama in her life, it seems Britney Spears' family is now feuding with both Sam Lutfi and Adnan Ghalib- and Sam and Adnan don't even like each other!
Following Brit's hospitalization, it seems everyone had different ideas as to what would be best for the "Gimme More" singer. At one point Sam was barred from the hospital waiting room, and he's speaking out about his feelings on the matter.
It's been a pretty emotional couple of days for the Spears family. And just prior to Britney's hospitalization, she was said to be acting like a zombie.
The troubled singer reportedly made a pit stop at Jerry's Deli in Studio City, California on Wednesday. And witnesses were taken aback by her odd behavior.
Looking visibly upset over the whole ordeal, Lynne Spears was guided away from the UCLA Medical Center at around 5:30 this morning (January 31).
As previously reported by Gossip Girls, Lynne's pop star daughter Britney Spears was hospitalized at the facility in the early hours of the morning after another bizarre incident.
We were all hoping that she'd get the help she needs, and now it looks like Britney Spears may finally be on the long road to recovery.
Earlier this morning, the "Gimme More" singer was transported by ambulance (with a police escort motorcade) to the UCLA Medical Center and placed on a psychiatric hold. She arrived around 1am.
After taking a spin in her new Mercedes Benz earlier in the evening, a British Britney Spears was up to her usual with Sam Lufti in the midst of her family allegedly trying to stage an intervention.
According to a source on the scene, "She kicked off the late night doings by checking into The Beverly Hills Hotel, emerging approximately two hours later at midnight donning a familiar pink wig and making her way to the local Rite Aid to pick up numerous items including the laxative Correctol."
She was having so much trouble with flat tires, it seems Britney Spears opted for a new car. And it isn't just any car.
The "Gimme More" singer said "Gimme that!" when she saw her new 2008 Mercedes Benz SLK 320 convertible. And when the two-seater - which she paid an up-front amount of $55,000 for - was delivered yesterday, she just had to take it out for a spin.

How libraries are keeping up with the times to stay relevant to students
By Tiffany Esshaki
Posted August 21, 2013
This back-to-school season, while many students are reaching for tablets, smartphones and laptops, there's one more device that parents should make sure their kids are slipping into their backpack: a library card.
With all the technology available today, many students forget about their public library — the original hotspot of learning. But teachers and librarians say the old book stacks are a useful resource for students in many ways.
At the Shelby Township Library, Interim Director Diane Burgeson said students will find everything they need for a study session: quiet spaces, free Internet, printers and more. But they've also got a little something extra — research experts who would put Google to shame.
"I call the library the original Internet. We all have master's degrees and we have studied how to assist and research, first and foremost. Even with the adults, we can take them to the books they need, instead of putting them in front of stacks and stacks and stacks of books," she said.
Guided research, as opposed to blind Web searches, tends to be more efficient and effective, Burgeson said, making better use of parents' and students' time.
The library also works closely with local schools to keep up with assignments, like summer reading lists, book reports and other projects. In fact, she said, many teachers are requiring their students to complete projects using library resources, so the younger set can be as acquainted with the library's tools as they are with their Web browser.
The story reads the same on the other side of town at Baldwin Public Library in downtown Birmingham. Connie Ilmer, head of public services at Baldwin, said the library has been working hard to become a destination for learners of all ages.
"I always say that your library card is your most important school supply. It opens the door for all your information needs to do your homework or your school work. And we're open when the schools are not, so we are your supplemental resource," she said.
In addition to the usual amenities, like computer equipment and wireless Internet access, Baldwin has not one but two areas for younger library users. The youth room is filled with books, both fiction and nonfiction, for kids to peruse. Just down the hall is the new Teen Scene, equipped with tables for group work that have outlets built right in so students can keep their devices powered up. A dry-erase board keeps students in the know on different events and meeting opportunities, and the shelves are lined with reading materials geared toward teens.
Baldwin is also in the process of remodeling and updating much of the property, and Ilmer said that effort will likely result in more private meeting spaces where students can study quietly or with tutors. Those areas, she said, will be the only ones with a strict no-noise policy.
"We have a lot of collaborative space, and we want to add more. We have tables in the teen area; we have tables in the youth room. We're fine with students working together, and we're pretty flexible. We're not the 'shush-shush' librarians of yore. This really is a gathering place and a place where people are accessing information, however that is," she said.
An added benefit, Ilmer noted, is the aspect of supervision that the library innately provides by being a public place. While no one younger than 12 years old is allowed to be left unattended at Baldwin, those students who are working can feel comfortable visiting with friends and doing school work without unwanted pressures that might come at other places.
"We don't often have a problem with bullying, but our staff kind of knows to keep an eye out and intervene if need be," she said.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a highly vascular tumor through the process of angiogenesis. To evaluate more non-invasive techniques for assessment of blood flow (BF) in HCC, this study examined the relationships between BF of HCC measured by computer tomography (CT) perfusion imaging and four circulating angiogenic factors in HCC patients. Interleukin 6 (IL-6), interleukin 8 (IL-8), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) in plasma were measured using Bio-Plex multiplex immunoassay in 21 HCC patients and eight healthy controls. Circulating IL-6, IL-8 and VEGF showed higher concentrations in HCC patients than in controls (
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third most common cause of cancer-related death worldwide with six million new cases diagnosed annually [
Clinical studies for the role of angiogenesis of HCC have mainly focused on CT perfusion parameters and histological examination of MVD using paraffin-embedded tissue specimens stained with specific endothelial cell markers and tissue expression of angiogenic molecules [
Growing evidence suggests the levels of circulating angiogenic factors might have significant implications in HCC patients [
To our knowledge, there is still an equivocal relationship between BF of HCC and levels of circulating angiogenic factors in sera of HCC patients. BF in HCC has been reported to have a possibility for being a biomarker. However, currently, BF has not yet been established as a definitive biomarker of HCC [
Circulating IL-6, IL-8, and VEGF were significantly higher in 21 HCC patients than eight healthy controls, (
To evaluate the diagnostic applications of angiogenic factors for predicting patients with HCC, circulating IL-6, IL-8, VEGF, and PDGF were analyzed in HCC patients and controls using a receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The area under the curve (AUR) of IL-8, VEGF, IL-6, and PDGF were 0.865, 0.842, 0.79, and 0.532, respectively (
The average size of the target HCCs in 21 patients was 8.2 cm. The results of the CT perfusion parameters between HCCs and their surrounding liver parenchyma were shown in
The measured region of interest (ROI) of HCCs showed higher arterial fraction (
After statistical analysis, none of the circulating angiogenesis factors were significantly correlated with any of the CT perfusion parameters, such as total BF, arterial BF, portal BF, and arterial fraction (
To delicately measure the change in BF between HCC and its surrounding liver parenchyma, we calculated the HCC-parenchyma ratio (HCC/parenchyma) of the BF parameters. After analyzing, there was a significantly positive correlation between the HCC-parenchyma ratios of arterial BF and level of circulating IL-8, indicating a higher IL-8 level in circulation was associated with higher arterial BF in HCC relative to the surrounding parenchyma (
IL-8, a cytokine produced by macrophage, neutrophils, fibroblasts, and epithelial cells can directly affect vascular endothelial cell proliferation, matrix metalloproteinase production, vessel endothelial permeability, and tumor metastasis [
The primary difference between the previous studies and the current study is that we utilized multiplexed bead-based immunoassays for detecting the four circulating angiogenic factors in a clinical study. This assay has the advantages of a very small amount of blood sample needed, a single short diagnostic test, and multiplications for circulating proteins [
The second difference in this study is that we used CT perfusion imaging by combining dedicated software with dual-vessel input of CT perfusion. The CT perfusion studies have been performed using single-vessel or dual-vessel inputs by different deconvolution-based analysis and kinetic models [
The third difference in this study is that we successfully correlated circulating angiogenic factors with
We did not observe a significant correlation between the other three circulating angiogenic factors (IL-6, VEGF, PDGF) and BF measured by CT perfusion, even though IL-6 and VEGF did show good discrimination between patients with HCC and controls. Part of the reasons might be the relationships between circulating angiogenic factors and tumor angiogenesis may be a complex and dynamic process during HCC growth. Circulating IL-6 also plays a more important role in the tumorigenesis than angiogenesis of HCC [
Similar to our data, the previous studies did not demonstrate a significant correlation between total BF and MVD [
There are several limitations to our study. We only evaluated four of the most discussed circulating angiogenic factors of HCC, and other related circulating angiogenic factors were not examined. Increased circulating angiogenic factors may be released from peripheral blood, monocytes, liver fibrosis, or HCC [
This study was HIPAA compliant and approved by the institutional review board of Kaohsiung Veterans General Hospital, Taiwan (Protocol No. VGHKS97-CT6-07). Written informed consents were obtained.
We conducted the dynamic contrast-enhanced CT study using a bolus of iodinated contrast agent in patients with HCCs. Patients having contraindications for contrast-enhanced CT examinations (contrast agent allergy, pregnancy), renal function impairment, poor localization of HCC on pre-contrast CT images, or refusing the CT perfusion exams were excluded from this study. Twenty-one patients with solitary HCC (
On the same day of CT perfusion examination, 1 mL of blood was drawn from 21 HCC patients using a heparin rinsed syringe. The blood samples from the controls were also analyzed. The blood samples were prepared by centrifugation until the blood cells were separated from the plasma. The plasma was used for analyzing the angiogenic array performed using the microsphere-based Bio-Plex Suspension Array system (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA, USA). The data were finally analyzed using Bio-Plex Manager software (version 3.0, Bio-Rad: Hercules, CA, USA) with 5PL curve fitting.
The CT perfusion protocol was adapted from a previous liver perfusion study [
After CT perfusion imaging, the patients underwent a conventional venous phase imaging of the entire liver.
Data on the CT perfusion of the target HCC among 21 patients were analyzed at a commercially available workstation (MIStar, Apollo Medical Imaging, Melbourne, Australia) by two experienced radiologists (J.-S.H. and C.-P.C.), specializing in liver imaging for more than 14 years. Region of interest (ROI) placement was determined based on the consensus of the two radiologists. The definitions of the CT perfusion parameters and the models were used for generating functional CT perfusion maps. The commonly used two-compartment model regards the extracellular space and plasma as two compartments that are individually well mixed [
Functional maps were obtained by (a) performing motion correction; (b) adjusting an appropriate window level for the liver vessels; (c) selecting sections between the beginning and end of contrast enhancement in the aorta and portal vein automatically or manually; (d) obtaining the reference arterial and portal venous input curve by placing an ROI in the aorta and portal vein respectively; (e) generating color-coded functional maps of CT perfusion; (f) drawing three similar-sized ROI areas (1 mm2) for each of the selected target HCC and surrounding non-tumor liver parenchyma (
To demonstrate the relationship between the CT perfusion parameters and vascular density measurement of HCC, we performed IHC of HCC tissue slides in eight patients for CD31 staining, which has been considered as a method for histologically quantifying small blood vessels. All tissue slides from HCC tumors were examined by hematoxylin and eosin (H & E) staining. All 5-μm-thick sections were deparaffinized and rehydrated. After antigen retrieval, the slides were blocked and then incubated with anti-CD31 Ab (1:200, rabbit polyclonal, Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA). All of the tumor slides were observed under light microscopy at low magnification (×40) for any CD31-highlighted endothelial cells. The counting field was captured with a digital camera at five regions of the predominantly vascular areas (hot spots) under a high-power field (×200, 0.62 mm2 per field). MVD was presented as the average of CD31-positive countable blood vessels in five hot-spot areas [
The ROC curve analysis was performed to examine the diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, and best cutoff values of the circulating angiogenic factors in the HCC patients and controls [
The three circulating angiogenic factors (IL-6, IL-8, and VEGF) could predict HCC existence by a simple multiplex bead array assay. The circulating IL-8 can be an alternative biomarker for non-invasive evaluations of BF in HCC based on the evidence of this study.

Rear Wheel Drive V8 Sedan
Have you noticed the North American infatuation with rear wheel drive V8 sedans. Have you noticed that its almost an exception today to have an RWD V8, while at one time there were multitudes on North American roads.
What is it about RWD cars that captures the imagination. When you think about it, its simple, the front wheels steer, the rear wheels power, and all four stop the car. Yes...rear wheel drive cars were made popular in geographic areas with wide spaces, that easily accommodated bigger than smaller cars, and implied covering longer than shorter distances.
Agreed back in the day it was probably easier to design and engineer a rear wheel drive layout, than a front wheel drive, even if a drive shaft running the lenght of the car is cumbersome.
Yes...the V8 is (was) a North American preference for decades.
In 2013 what is it about RWD that captures the imagination?
We all know that you cannot pack serious power in a FWD configuration, the torque steer becomes annoying, the back of the car is constantly telegraphing that its a litle light. The AWD configuration which is very popular in Canada, is a constatnt reminder of something more useful, practical than fun. Agreed you can pack serious power in an AWD configuration.
Should we mention that FWD was for years associated to an econo box, and AWD was a 4x4 pick up, should we had diesels in the mix to truly make it interesting.
Anyone seeking a fast car that could/can accomodate adults to this day gravitates to a RWD configuration with a V8, and if you need to go faster the V8 is bigger or you had turbos.
Somethings never change...
From back in the day, the inline 6 cylinder sedan with an automatic transmission (3 speed at best) is comparable to our current FWD V6 sedan.
From back in the day the cars with V8's always had a special allure, a distinctive sound, captured the imagination.

- Bedouet Clos Des Grands Primos Muscadet Sevre Et Maine 2015 Product #30753 (In Stock)
Having converted his Clos des Grand Primos vineyard to certified organic farming, Michel Bedouet is delivering on Muscadet's potential. The vineyard is a rocky mess of granite, schist and gneiss - no fun to farm, but wonderful for Muscadet's Melon de Bourgogne grape. The 2015 delivers all the saline minerality and chiseled cut you'd expect from fine Muscade, but also a generous roundness to the texture and a plenty of ripe apple and tangy lemon-lime fruit. You'll taste the benefits of extended aging on the lees – spent yeast cells left after fermentation – in the wine's wet stone and chalk minerality, but love how the fresh fruit holds center stage and pumps on through a long finish of lemon, apple, lime zest and fresh thyme. Sure, it's a great wine for shellfish, but you'll love it with almost any summertime dish or simply all on its own.

" Brand: Asda / Type: Ice Cream "
Totally rubbish ice-cream. The 2 previous reviews were clearly written by Asda employees - and in fact one of the reviews can be found on another site posted under another profile.This ice cream was a total disappointment. It is basically a neopolitana chocolate and vanilla flavour with barely any biscuit or marshmallow. It tastes like a cheap tub of ice cream, and looks nothing like the picture on the label. I will be complaining to the Asda customer service.
Asda Extra Special range of ice creams are exactly that! Whatever flavour you choose you are in for a treat. They give expensive varieties such as Hagen Daaz and Ben and Jerries a run for their money. In fact with their Extra Special Rocky Road ice cream, I think they beat all the leading manufacturers.
Have you ever tried a rocky road cake? If not, don't. They are delicious but so bad for you and once you've had one you wake up in the night in a cold sweat just needing one! They are a mixture of chocolate, biscuit, caramel, marshmallow, fudge and anything else gorgeous they can think of!
With this ice cream you get all that sweet yummy fun broken up into little pieces amid ice cream. the ice cream is really smooth and delicious as well. All in all it is an excellent combination. Try to serve it into bowls and not eat from the tub otherwise you will eat it all and I guarantee you will feel ill afterwards! It's be worth it though!
If you do not want to feel guilty, look away now. I am about to write the nutritional blurb...
Per 1/10 of a tub - 136kcal
2.3g protein
16.3g carbohydrates
13.9g of which sugars
6.8g fat
4.3g of which saturates.
But it is soooooo good!
Ok, as a self confessed "pig", I am always more than eager to review products that involve me eating them, this next product was my last tub of "research!".
The product I will now review is "Asda's extra special rocky road ice-cream".
The tub the ice-cream comes in is a 1 litre plastic tub with the colour scheme being beiges and taupe's, ok sounds boring doesn't it, it in fact gives a very stylish effect to the product and as this is part of the "extra special" range I assume that is the desired effect.
Down the side is the extra special logo, and across the top is the name of the product with a brief description of the ice-cream.
This tub, as with most of the other flavours in this range comes with a lift off plastic lid, the bonus with this is the fact it is resealable, this is not something I usually have to worry about, as my ice-cream usually goes in one sitting!
After breaking off the tab that holds the lid on tight, then removing the lid you will see the ice-cream. At first glance the ice-cream is half and half vanilla and chocolate, but when you take your first spoonful you will realise it's so much more!
The ice-cream is indeed chocolate but the white ice-cream is marshmallow flavour, not only does this contain marshmallow flavour but also tiny pink marshmallows throughout the entire tub.
Also threaded through this delicious dessert are crunchy chocolate digestive pieces and finally these are all melded together with a smooth chocolate sauce.
This pudding holds such a variety of flavours and also textures, the sweetness of the chocolate with slightly tangy taste of the marshmallows, also the crunchiness of the biscuit pieces and chewiness of the marshmallow pieces is a little weird to start of with, but is a sensation you soon get used to!
This is of course not going to be good for you, but as long as you eat healthily and have these sort of desserts as an occasional treat you should be fine!
Per 1/10 of a tub - 136kcal
2.3g protein
16.3g carbohydrates
13.9g of which sugars
6.8g fat
4.3g of which saturates.
I am not even going to attempt to work out the weight watchers points value, as I may cry, needless to say this should be treated as a very occasional treat!
These are actually on offer at the moment from Asda, these tubs are all available for the price of £2.00 each, there a lot of flavours you can choose from, they range from rocky road through to lemon sorbet, there is even butterscotch crunch one that is new to the range, and yes it is sitting in my freezer and no it won't be there for much longer!
These in my opinion are as nice, if not nicer than some of the more expensive and exclusive brands that are available, there is a much more diverse range available also, there is always something for everyone, my husband is more of a fruit lover but has his eye on the butterscotch one, I get the feeling I may have to share!!

This letter is a response to an earlier post on BC Confessions; the full text of the confession is available here.
You know those times when you find yourself sympathizing with someone you shouldn't? Like when you found out that Professor Snape had a rough childhood and he secretly loved Lily and you forget for a minute how much he tormented Harry, or you catch yourself rooting for the Lannisters to be together even though you know incest is wrong?
I'll tell you, buddy, you almost had me there. You really know how to set up a story. You give us a sad story about a lonely kid who keeps getting played, a little mumbo-jumbo about how you're not social or good-looking, and you almost have me feeling sorry for you.
But I don't. You could be the most socially awkward, unattractive sad-sack to ever walk the face of the earth, and I still could not feel sorry for you. That's because you're a rapist. You forced sex on three young women who were incapable of consenting. I can't sympathize with that.
You are a monster in every sense of the word. You are a menace. You are the reason why girls are warned to watch their drinks and never walk alone and trust no one. The fact that your confession was anonymous—that nobody knows who you are—that you could be anyone at this school—is terrifying.
You'll never have to experience this fear. You will never know what it's like to wake up in the morning with little to no memory or evidence of what transpired the previous night. You will never know what it's like to grapple with the notion that maybe you were at fault for someone else's indiscretion, that it wouldn't have happened if you weren't so drunk or if you hadn't put your trust in the hands of the wrong person. Sure, you may feel bad, but try to imagine what it's like to be one of the women you assaulted.
Let's just say for argument's sake that I'm speaking from experience. Maybe I've been that girl who was too drunk to say "no", too scared to speak up. But really, what difference does it make? Why should it have to happen to me in order to be appalled by disgraceful behavior? Because you are a disgrace. We all get sloppy, but to harm another person when they can't fight back goes against everything BC stands for.
I hope people learn from you. I hope there are men out there who hear your story and see the reactions from others and know that sexual assault is not something that will be tolerated. I hope more people become active bystanders. I hope more men like you confess, realize their errors, turn themselves in. But maybe that's too much to hope for.
At the very least, I hope you see justice, because that's what you deserve.

This is not a new scenario, it has happened like this for years, however, it is another example of how social media is changing the world we all live in. I agree with you Kate, and hope for a safer campus for all the women who live there. I do hope that #7122 gets the help he needs and realizes that he has serious problems. God help him, Please.
Thank you for saying something about this.
"You'll never have to experience this fear." I don't mean to start anything, but it's ignorant to assume that only women are in danger of this happening. I understand that the stats show this happening more toward women, but nevertheless it still happens to a large amount of men. This is the reason my male friend doesn't drink and brings his drink absolutely everywhere, so he doesn't get raped again. He's constantly in fear every weekend he goes out.
[…] Or as BC student Kate Lewis writes to the confessor in an open letter posted by The Rock, an online alternative outlet at the school, "You are a monster in every sense of the word. […]

Things were getting hot.
Not only was the temperature rising in the small team room above the glistening pool at The Bishop's School, but the heat outside was rising as well.
Caleb Schultz, a 6-foot-8 senior goalkeeper for the Knights water polo team, couldn't help but feel a little sheepish about the attention he was getting from teammates, buzzing around the glass doors and windows of the room, doing their best to act nonchalant while shooting him goofy looks.
"I know I'm going to get it," Schultz said with a smile "I haven't told anybody about the interview yet, so now I'm expecting it."
Nearly everything in Schultz's life these days seems to be about expectations. He juggles the academic pressures of attending Bishop's while shouldering the weight that comes with manning the goal for a team that has been a staple in the San Diego Section championship picture for decades.
For most students, this would be pressure enough, but Schultz, a Clairemont resident, also faces the pressure that accompanies a family legacy born of athletics.
Schultz's grandfather is Robert Holm, a respected basketball coach who has worked at the prep, collegiate and professional levels with teams locally and around the world. At the high school level, Holm is best known for guiding the Mount Miguel boys and El Cajon Valley girls teams.
Schultz's father, Bryan, was a standout prep and collegiate water polo player. His mother, Heidi, played college basketball after helping El Cajon Valley win a high school championship.
Even as a tall kid, Schultz is trying to measure up to a high bar.
"It's tough for a kid like Caleb," said Doug Peabody, Bishop's assistant coach and a family friend. "Your parents were CIF champions, collegiate athletes, your grandfather coached professional basketball in Europe and it doesn't help you much that you're 6-8."
Schultz acknowledged the expectations for an athlete playing a high-profile position for a high-profile team.
"It puts a lot of pressure on me. I used to feel it a lot," Schultz said. "Now I'm starting to play above it. I'm learning to block it out and just go out and give it everything I have."
Last season, after Bishop's rattled off 12 victories in its final 14 games, Schultz held fast during a sudden-death overtime victory over Cathedral Catholic in the Division III semifinals, racking up 13 saves in the 13-12 win that propelled the Knights to the championship game against perennial rival Coronado.
Though Schultz was consistent while making 16 saves in the finals, the Islanders clinched the title with a 9-8 triumph, leaving Schultz and his teammates no choice but to learn from the loss and set their sights on 2012.
"I think the experience from last year is huge," Schultz said. "I feel more confident now. Maybe I'm a little cockier, but I feel like that experience is why I am one of the best goalies in California and why we're as strong of a team."
Schultz is quick to point out the humility he has gained and the motivation the loss has provided for himself and his Bishop's teammates, who stand 7-4 with the playoffs set to begin next month.
"I think we learned a lot and know that we need to be more committed," Schultz said. "I played my best game, up until that point, ever, and it wasn't good enough. We learned we can't just be better, we've got to be the best."
Does being the best mean the section championship or bust?
"Most definitely," said Schultz, a member of the U-T San Diego All-Academic Team. "It's my senior year. I want to win. Anything less is a disappointment."
Schultz, who was second-team All-Western League last season, gets excited when talking about the Knights' strengths.
"We have a lot of size. We're by far the most talented, but we want to put in the extra work so we can use that talent better than we have," Schultz said. "We're just big and strong. We're like family."
Bishop's head coach Jim Fales agrees when talking about his goalie, who is considering the University of the Pacific, UC Santa Barbara and SDSU for college.
"This is a very special team and Caleb is a special player," Fales said.
A player who, despite the pressure, is sure to make his family, coaches and school proud.

Product Description
technical comment
- Odette / Odile: Svetlana Zakharova
Prince Siegfried: Denis Rodkin
The Evil Genius: Artemy Belyakov
The Princess Mother: Yekaterina Barykina
The Tutor: Alexei Loparevich
The Fool: Igor Tsvirko
At the palace, the royal family and their guests are gathered for Prince Siegfried's birthday celebrations. In a majestic ceremony, Siegfried is made a knight and young girls try to attract his attention, as he must choose a wife during the ball. Overcome by the sudden awareness of his future responsibilities, he escapes into the night and meets a strange flock of swans by a magical lake.
White swan by day, human by night, the beautiful Odette awaits an oath of true love to break the curse on her. The great legend of the enigmatic swan/woman is one of the most romantic classical ballets, appropriately set in the era of courtly romance and characterised by elegance, style and harmony. With Tchaikovsky's famous, lyrical score, 'Swan Lake' depicts the tragic love between Princess Odette and Prince Siegfried, and is honed to perfection by the unparalleled virtuosity of Russia's great Bolshoi Ballet. This universal and enchanting masterpiece of love, deception and drama is a must.
Cast includes the famed ballerina Svetlana Zakharova, one of the most beautiful Odette / Odiles of our time, Denis Rodkin, Artemy Belyakov and of course, the Bolshoi.

Apologies for inactivity...I exist mostly on Tumblr now, and most of the crap I put out isn't DevArt-gallery worthy, so, y'know. Haven't logged on here in...ages.
In other news, I've been having a craving to do an art trade. Anyone interested? Just traditional pencil art, my colored pencils are in another state and every time I pick up my tablet these days I want to throw it across the room. Simple oc for oc, or whatever you want.

Wonderful purchase
By Mary
from Elk Grove, CA
Purchase Reason
Yesterday we finished our kitchen remodel and hung the canvas "Passage to India" from AllPosters. It was the crowning touch of a big project. The perfect thing that really looks like a piece of art. The canvas is vivid in color and even better than what I could see online. The wrapped edges are solid black so it really looks finished. The large canvas arrived on time and was boxed very carefully so it was in perfect condition. We are so happy with this artwork [...]!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

" Brand: Shearer / Type: Air Fresheners / Category: Home Fragrance "
Shearer Candles is a Scottish company offering a range of scented products for the home. The current line up of products includes various designed candles, reed diffusers and room sprays.
~Room Spray~
Shearer Candles offer three fragranced room sprays on their website - Orange and Cinnamon, Wild Tuscan Fig and Fleur d'Angelique. I will be discussing my use of the latter. Stores such as Amazon offer a much wider range of fragrances from this brand.
Fleur d'Angelique is classed as a 'scented cologne' room spray and can be used in all rooms. The scent is described as being 'amber and rose fondant' with floral notes of violet, amber and tuberose. The Amber and Rose fragrance is also available in candle format.
This room spray is presented in a simple yet attractive glass bottle which is tall and clear. The golden tinted liquid is visible and the bottle has some basic information on it. This bottle features a spray top concealed under a gold coloured lid.
This room spray can be purchased from www.shearer-candles.com priced at £5.00 for 100ml. It is also available from Amazon for £2.95.
~My Thoughts~
I became a fan of Shearer products since a dear reviewing friend sent me some of their candles. In turn, I convinced my sister to try them and well, she has converted from Yankee to Shearer! During her last online order, she picked up a few of the room sprays and bought me a bottle of Fleur d'Angelique. Whilst marketed as a cologne, I do not believe this is intended to be used on the skin and is simply a room spray.
This gift was very much appreciated as I love to try any new scented products. I am very paranoid that my house doesn't smell as pleasant as I really want it to so these type of products are a must for me. The bottle holding the golden liquid is of a high quality. I have never had an issue with the spray top. I like to use this around my home and use it much like an air freshener spray.
The liquid sprays out just like a perfume and hangs in the air beautifully. It doesn't drop to the floor like many sprays (which is ideal given that we have mainly wooden flooring in our home). Whilst Fleur d'Angelique wouldn't have been my first choice of scent (I fancy some of the rarer scents available from Amazon), I do find it to be quite a pleasant scent to spray around my home.
Fleur d'Angelique replaces any odours in my home including cooking smells and any smelly aroma coming from my fiances work boots/bag due to dampness. It is quite a strong, heady scent which is a blend of floral, sweet and spicy notes in my opinion. It is quite uplifting at first but settles to reveal a warm scent which makes it perfect for using in the evening. The rose in this scent is quite sweet with delicate floral and slightly powdery undertones. The warm comes from the amber and violet but I'm not sure where the spicy addition comes from but I like it all the same.
I find this to be a pleasant spray to use in the evening as the aroma is quite relaxing and comforting. It is a little overpowering at first but settles quickly to a pleasant strength that just lingers and leaves my rooms smelling scented. I find it ideal to spray into the middle of my bedroom half an hour before bed so I can witness it when I go to bed. I have had no issues with the spray staining any fabrics though I do not spray it directly onto fabrics. The scent lingers (if our doors are closed) for 2hours or so which I find excellent and it goes to show how high quality the fragrance is.
This room spray is quick and easy to use and smells very lovely indeed. It won't be to everyones tastes but I love it as it makes my home smell good. I do prefer burning candles but it isn't always practical so having a highly concentrated spray is an excellent alternative. The scent offered is much more appealing than regular air freshener sprays. A 100ml bottle will last quite sometime even with regular use and I feel £5.00 is a fair price to pay for this type of product.
Thanks for reading :)

Kicking off her week with some physical activity, Ashley Tisdale was spotted arriving at a gym in West Hollywood this morning (July 18).
The "Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure" babe looked hot with her new blonde hair color and a black Diesel tank top with red sunglasses.
Over the weekend, Ashley celebrated her 26th birthday with a trip to Las Vegas where she attended a pair of events.
On Friday night (July 15) she hit up Pure Nightclub for some dancing and drinks, and on Saturday (July 16) Tizzie soaked up some sun rays at Caesar's Palace's Venus Pool club.

Keep posting about the "Nobody"
Poster Handle
Post Content
The "Nobody" is the 2nd witness of the two witnesses in revelation. When God sends 2 you always see one being greater than the other, Moses and Aaaron, Jesus and John, Adam and Eve, Joshua and Zerubabbel, etc. In Malachi 4:5-6 We see God will send Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. the "great" day of the lord came when Jesus was on earth and John the baptist was Elijah if you can except it Jesus said. When the terrible day of the Lord comes in the end then again Elijah will come as a forerunner to this "Nobody" which will be Gods greatest servant and so much is written about the "Nobody" but is hidden in the shadow of many verses that people think refer to Jesus and make Jesus out to be a sinner, example in the book of Isaiah Jacob, my servant is the "Nobody" but churches make it out to be Jesus. Jacob is described as a liar and a worm before he starts his ministry and name is changed to Israel..this is not Jesus. We know from Zechariah Joshua and Zerubabbel are the two anointed that stand by the Lord of the Earth and match the description of the two witnesses in Revelation. What are Joshua and Zerubbabel doing in zechaariah, they are rebuilding the temple after the destruction of Israel with the remant of the people. This is what the 2 witnesses will do after the destruction of the united states and people go into slavery into other countries for 42 months prior to the 7 year tribulation. Although the two witnesses build the spiritual temple(when you accept Jesus as savior you become the temple of God and the two witnesses preach the message they are annointed to preach and people become spiritual temples and collectively they are all one temple of God that cannnot be destroyed like the other 2 temples of God were destroyed. The antichrist and the false prophet at the same time will rebuild the 3rd physical temple and Jews at first will think they are the long awaited messiah but only for the first 3 and half years of the 7 year trib. This last day "Nobody" will feed the children of God spiritually just like the story of Joseph when he fed the people physically
did you completely miss that the nobody is the christ?
Anonymous Coward 27996070
"Then, if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Messiah!' or 'There he is!'---do not believe it. For false Messiahs and false prophets will appear; they will perform great miracles and wonders in order to deceive even God's chosen people, if possible.
Listen! I have told you this ahead of time.
(Matthew 24:23-25)
Read the 4 Gospels or the "Truth" as told by Jesus Christ's. These are the owners manual to life...eternal life.
