Postal Service cancels plan to end Saturday delivery
The U.S. Postal Service has ended its threats to stop Saturday mail delivery after Congress denied the action.
A statement Wednesday made by the U.S. Postal Service Board of Governors said, "The board believes that Congress has left it with no choice but to delay this implementation at this time. The board also wants to ensure that customers of the Postal Service are not unduly burdened by ongoing uncertainties and are able to adjust their business plans accordingly."
The plan to end Saturday delivery was announced earlier this year in an effort to close the billions of dollars in deficits. It was expected to save about $2 billion per year starting Aug. 5.

Chicken with Cranberry Sauce
This meal was adapted from a 1991 Bon Appetit magazine and not only is it easy but it is something you could serve to company and they might think you really fussed! Serve it along side some Uncle Ben's 90 second rice and some Haricot Verts from Trader Joes (fancy name for french green beans) and you are ready to go! Mr. John really liked it and gave it 4 stars.
And speaking of Mr. John - I would like to mention that he cleans up from dinner about 96.5% of the time! I cook - we eat - he cleans up - I blog. I really appreciate it and he really appreciates getting fed :-) Let's see if he reads this.... :-)
Chicken Cutlets with Cranberry Sauce Serves: 4 Calories: NA Prep Time to Table: 30 minutes
Recipe : adapted from Bon Appetit
-1 lb. boneless chicken breasts (I cut into small pieces)
-3 tbl butter (or buttered flavored olive oil)
-2 tbl minced shallots
-1 whole bay leaf broken in half -1/2 cup dry red wine
-3/4 cup whole cranberry sauce
-1/2 cup chicken broth
-1 tbl balsamic vinegar
1. Season chicken with S&P on each side. Heat 2 tbl butter (or oil) in a large skillet over medium high heat. Cook chicken on each side about 4 minutes and just cooked through then remove to platter
2. Add 1 tbl butter or oil and add shallots and bay leave; sauté one minute
3. Add wine and bring to boil, scraping up brown bits. Boil until it reduces to a thick glaze (~ 4 minutes)
4. Add cranberry sauce, broth and vinegar – cook about 3 minutes until it slightly thickens
5. Return chicken and any juices and heat though about 1 minute. Serve with sauce – this is good with a wild rice blend

So, a hit squad alledgedly from Israel, kills a Hamas official.
Sounds way too simple: either these people cocked up and were detected (which is the last thing a hit squad wants), or there's something else going on which the media have missed. Why use British (and Irish) Passports? Then, why do it in a completely overt way? What's the message being sent here?
This can hardly be a warning to Hamas: they're used to assassinations on their people by Israel. No, there's something else going on here. Its too unsubtle by far.
I'm not convinced its Mossad, nor am I convinced its Israeli in origin.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) head Ajit Pai will vote tomorrow favouring his proposal to rollback net neutrality rules that were implemented in 2015. These rules will restrict your Internet Service Provider (ISP) controlling on what you can access online. The new proposal will lead to content discrimination making the internet as a biased platform, benefiting cable, telephone, and wireless broadband companies.
Donald Trump administration wants to put an end to people's right of having a free and open internet. This will affect small businesses and those who want to create online marketplace for their products, especially farmers. Your freedom of using the internet would be gone long days, as you'll see only the things that your cable company wants to, and will certainly affect your wallet.
Before going on a vote, Senate Democrats have signed a open letter defending the net neutrality rules. The letter is signed by 13 senators – U.S. Senator Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii), Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), U.S. Senator Ed Markey (D-Mass.), U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), U.S. Senator Al Franken (D-Minn.), U.S. Senator Tom Udall (D-N.M.), U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), U.S. Senator Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.), U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.), U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-N.J.), U.S. Senator Kamala Harris (D-Calif.).
"These rules protect the internet as an open, decentralized, and level playing field, free from content discrimination," the letter, titled "An open letter to everyone who uses the internet," reads. "They ensure that you—not your internet service provider (usually your cable or phone company)—control what you can access online."
They have listed out the problems that the rollback could cause. "This does not have to be the future of our internet," the letter reads. "We know what it's going to take to protect net neutrality. We've won on this before. We can win again. And you will be hearing us speak out on this issue in the Senate and in every corner of the country."
The letter ends by encouraging dissent against the changes. "The existing net neutrality rules protect this foundation and the connected society that we all enjoy. Don't let the FCC take that away."

A total of 95 human Campylobacter jejuni isolates acquired from domestic infections and collected from three districts in Finland during the seasonal peak (June to September) in 2012 were analyzed by PCR-based multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and by whole-genome sequencing (WGS). Four predominant sequence types (STs) were detected among the isolates: ST-45 (21%) and ST-230 (14%, ST-45 clonal complex [CC]), ST-267 (21%, ST-283 CC), and ST-677 (19%, ST-677 CC). In districts 1 and 3, most of the infections occurred from early July to the middle of August, with a peak at weeks 29 to 31, but in district 2, the infections were dispersed more evenly throughout 3 months (June to August). WGS data were used for further whole-genome MLST (wgMLST) analyses of the isolates representing the four common STs. Shared loci of the isolates within each ST were analyzed as distance matrices of allelic profiles by the neighbor-net algorithm. The highest allelic variations (>400 different alleles) were detected between different clusters of ST-45 isolates (1,121 shared loci), while ST-230 (1,264 shared loci), ST-677 (1,169 shared loci), and ST-267 isolates (1,217 shared loci) were less diverse with the clusters differing by<40 alleles. Closely related isolates showing no allelic variation (subclusters) were detected among all four major STs. In some cases, they originated from different districts, suggesting that isolates can be epidemiologically connected and may have the same infection source despite being originally identified as sporadic infections.

BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth | Year: 2014
Background:The aims were to evaluate the effect of pregnancy on carotid artery elasticity and determine the associations between maternal lipids, endothelial function and arterial elasticity during pregnancy.Methods:We examined 99 pregnant and 99 matched non-pregnant control women as part of a population-based prospective cohort study. Carotid artery elasticity indexes; carotid artery distensibility (CAD), Young's elastic modulus (YEM) and stiffness index (SI) as well as brachial artery flow-mediated dilation (FMD) were assessed using ultrasound; serum lipid levels were also determined.Results:SI was 57% and YEM 75% higher and CAD 36% lower in the third trimester group than the corresponding values in the first trimester group. Serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels were significantly higher in women at the end of the pregnancy than at the beginning of pregnancy (P < 0.001) and in controls (P < 0.001). In multivariate analysis, gestational age was the only independent correlate of arterial elasticity in pregnant women. In controls, age (P ≤ 0.001) and common carotid diameter (P = 0.001-0.029) were associated with SI, YEM and CAD.Conclusions:The present study revealed that carotid artery elasticity declined towards the end of the pregnancy; this neither is straight correlating with maternal hyperlipidemia or the diameter of the carotid artery nor is it associated with changes in endothelial function. © 2014 Kärkkäinen et al.; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.

Eurosurveillance | Year: 2012
The number of cases of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection detected by laboratory-based surveillance increased in Finland in late 2010. During 2011, the number of cases was four times higher than during the previous epidemic in 2005. The 2011 epidemic affected mostly school-age children. The increased number of cases was probably not due to changes in laboratory procedures, but public interest may have had an effect, since the number of Google queries followed closely the epidemic curve.

Genes Chromosomes and Cancer | Year: 2013
The aim of this study was to assess the significance of the interleukin 6 gene polymorphism -174 in gastric cancer risk. The interleukin 6 -174 G/C (rs1800795) gene polymorphisms was analyzed in gastric cancer, peptic ulcer, and nonulcer dyspepsia patients and in healthy control subjects and the data were correlated with the histopathological features of the patients' biopsies. The interleukin 6 -174 GG and GC genotypes have been previously associated with high interleukin 6 serum levels. We discovered that the interleukin 6 -174 GG and GC genotypes are associated with an increased risk of the diffuse histologic subtype of gastric carcinomas (OR: 6.809, P = 0.034), but absent in the intestinal type carcinomas (OR: 1.109, P = 0.908). No significant associations with peptic ulcer, gastric atrophy, or intestinal metaplasia were seen. Our results demonstrate that the interleukin 6 -174 GG and GC genotypes increase the risk of the diffuse type gastric carcinoma, but not the intestinal type gastric carcinoma or its precursor conditions, including atrophy or intestinal metaplasia. Thus, interleukin 6 seems to be an important carcinogenetic factor in the diffuse type gastric adenocarcinoma and its carcinogenetic effect could be noninflammatory. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Clinical and Vaccine Immunology | Year: 2011
Several infectious agents may cause arthritis or arthropathy. For example, infection with Borrelia burgdorferi, the etiologic agent of Lyme disease, may in the late phase manifest as arthropathy. Infections with Campylobacter, Salmonella, or Yersinia may result in a postinfectious reactive arthritis. Acute infection with parvovirus B19 (B19V) may likewise initiate transient or chronic arthropathy. All these conditions may be clinically indistinguishable from rheumatoid arthritis. Here, we present evidence that acute B19V infection may elicit IgM antibodies that are polyspecific or cross-reactive with a variety of bacterial antigens. Their presence may lead to misdiagnosis and improper clinical management, exemplified here by two case descriptions. Further, among 33 subjects with proven recent B19V infection we found IgM enzyme immunoassay (EIA) positivity for Borrelia only; for Borrelia and Salmonella; for Borrelia and Campylobacter; and for Borrelia, Campylobacter, and Salmonella in 26 (78.7%), 1 (3%), 2 (6%), and 1 (3%), respectively; however, when examined by Borrelia LineBlot, all samples were negative. These antibodies persisted over 3 months in 4/13 (38%) patients tested. Likewise, in a retrospective comparison of the results of a diagnostic laboratory, 9/11 (82%) patients with confirmed acute B19V infection showed IgM antibody to Borrelia. However, none of 12 patients with confirmed borreliosis showed any serological evidence of acute B19V infection. Our study demonstrates that recent B19V infection can be misinterpreted as secondary borreliosis or enteropathogen-induced reactive arthritis. To obtain the correct diagnosis, we emphasize caution in interpretation of polyreactive IgM and exclusion of recent B19V infection in patients examined for infectious arthritis or arthropathy.

BMC Infectious Diseases | Year: 2013
Background: In 1872, in British Medical Journal (BMJ) Dr. David Ferrier published that Sarcina ventriculi (Goodsir) constantly occurred in the blood of man and the lower animals. His observation was based on bleeding experiments, incubation of blood at 100oF (37.8oC) and later examination. He found " immense numbers of beautifully formed sarcinæ" In the next issue of BMJ Dr. Charlton Bastian expressed concerns that Sarcina might indeed be " really a living thing" or " might be partly organic and partly mineral in its constitutions" .Case presentation: Anaerobic gram-positive giant coccae assembled in tetrads were recovered from one anaerobic blood culture bottle of a 48-year-old female who in her early childhood was diagnosed with congenital chloride diarrhoea. This is a rare recessively inherited disease that belongs to the Finnish disease heritage. The bacteria were identified with the 16S rRNA gene sequencing.Conclusions: Here, after more than a century we present the first report that Sarcina ventriculi can indeed cause bacteremia in a susceptible person. © 2013 Tuuminen et al.; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.

Campylobacter jejuni is the leading cause of bacterial gastroenteritis and chicken is considered a major reservoir and source of human campylobacteriosis. In this study, we investigated temporally related Finnish human (n=95), chicken (n=83) and swimming water (n=20) C. jejuni isolates collected during the seasonal peak in 2012 using multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and whole-genome MLST (wgMLST). Our objective was to trace domestic human C. jejuni infections to C. jejuni isolates from chicken slaughter batches and swimming water. At MLST level, 79% of the sequence types (STs) of the human isolates overlapped with chicken STs suggesting chicken as an important reservoir. Four STs, the ST-45, ST-230, ST-267 and ST-677, covered 75% of the human and 64% of the chicken isolates. In addition, 50% of the swimming water isolates comprised ST-45, ST-230 and ST-677. Further wgMLST analysis of the isolates within STs, accounting their temporal relationship, revealed that 22 of the human isolates (24%) were traceable back to C. jejuni positive chicken slaughter batches. None of the human isolates were traced back to swimming water, which was rather sporadically sampled. The highly discriminatory wgMLST, together with the patient background information and temporal relationship data with possible sources, offers a new, accurate approach to trace back the origin of domestic campylobacteriosis. Our results suggest that potentially a substantial proportion of campylobacteriosis cases during the seasonal peak most probably are due to other sources than chicken meat consumption. These findings warrant further wgMLST-based studies to reassess the role of other reservoirs in the Campylobacter epidemiology both in Finland and elsewhere.

The fatty acid (FA) compositions of the diet and diverse tissues of the farmed Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baerii) were analyzed in detail to assess their nutritional quality. Twelve male fish were sampled for muscle, fat, liver, brain, gill, kidney and gonad and the tissue FA measured by gas-liquid chromatography. The FA profile of the diet diverged from the FA signatures of the tissues, where the sturgeons accumulated particular highly-unsaturated FA (HUFA). They were probably derived from the diet but, as previous studies have shown that fish can also have desaturase enzymes, endogenous synthesis of these FA cannot be excluded. The sturgeon muscle tissue contained HUFA in proportions comparable to those of other fish species that are considered good sources of n-3 polyunsaturated FA. The indices of atherogenicity and thrombogenicity were also within the values considered to be health-promoting. © 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Sebastian Vettel has played down talk that his Red Bull Racing team will be untouchable in this weekend's Spanish Grand Prix.
With the German and team-mate Mark Webber having comfortably led the way on the opening practice day in Barcelona, rival drivers fear that they will not be able to match the pace of the RB6 this time out.
However, Vettel is more cautious about the chances of his team - and in particular believes McLaren did not show its full hand when the track was at its quickest on Friday.
"The lap times on Friday were irrelevant," said Vettel, who has taken just one victory so far this season.
"It is good to be fast, but nothing more than that. The McLarens are very quick here, and we don't really know what they did in the afternoon. It didn't look like they were pushing too hard on the new sets of soft tyres, so I think in qualifying it will be a lot closer."
Vettel also praised the raft of updates that Red Bull Racing put on its car this weekend - with almost every area of the car getting a tweak.
"It does not look as significant as some other teams' changes, like the Mercedes GP has its new airbox inlet," he said. "I don't know if you have been looking and it is not that easy to see - however it is a bit of everything. It seems to work."

Memorial Day is truly an American holiday and has been observed on the last Monday of May since 1971. This day honors the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. Memorial Day is not to be confused with Veteran's Day, the day that celebrates the service of all U.S. military veterans. Originally, Memorial Day was known as Decoration Day and had its beginning following the American Civil War, a war that claimed more American lives than any war or conflict in the history of the United States. Historians estimate the number of those who died in the Civil War at more than 600,000. Following this war, it was necessary for the country to establish the first of many national cemeteries.
Around 1868, Americans were calling for a nationwide day of remembrance, and May 30 was designated as Decoration Day. In numerous U.S. towns and cities people were holding springtime tributes to fallen Civil War soldiers. They decorated graves with flowers and held services at the cemeteries to honor the dead. Then following WWI, Decoration Day became a time to remember all fallen American military personnel. For decades Memorial Day continued to be observed on May 30, the day that had been selected in 1868 as the first Decoration Day.
In 1968, one hundred years after the first Memorial Day designation, the United States Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Act that declared Memorial Day to be on the last Monday in May. Taking effect in 1971, this created the three-day weekend for federal employees and proclaimed the day a federal holiday. Originally Uniform Monday Holiday Act created five Monday holidays—President's Day, which combined Lincoln and Washington's birthdays, and was to be observed on the third Monday in February; Memorial Day, to be observed on the last Monday in May; Labor Day, to be observed on the first Monday in September; Columbus Day, to be observed on the second Monday in October; Veteran's Day, which was originally to be observed on the fourth Monday in October but was returned to November 11 in 1978 and is not now a part of the Monday holidays. The Martin Luther King, Jr. birthday holiday on the third Monday in January was added in 1983.
Traditionally, Memorial Day marks the beginning of summer. It has become a time for families to gather together and to remember their own loved ones who have passed on, as well as to enjoy picnics and other outdoor events with friends and family. While all this is important, perhaps each of us should purposely take some time to remember those who have given their lives in order for us to have these privileges and to enjoy our freedoms.

1/2 cup each hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, and water. Gets Dingy White Clothes White Again
The "miracle" of baking soda and peroxide. Put 1/4 cup of baking soda in a bowl.....add enough peroxide to make a paste. Rub on with fingers or sponge. Cleans EVERYTHING! Stove, oven, pans, stainless steel applicances, even the white handles of the refrig door.
How-to Refresh Bath Towels: Recharge them by washing them once with hot water and 1cup vinegar, then a 2nd time with hot water and half cup baking soda. This strips the residue and leaves them fresh and able to absorb more water again.
Drain Cleaning
This floor cleaner got the grime out of our 25-year-old linoleum. Dissolve 1/4 cup baking soda in 2 gal. warm water. Add 1 Tbsp. dish soap and 1/4 cup white vinegar.
(great to remember for move-out or in) Place a dishwasher-safe cup filled with plain white vinegar on the top rack of the dishwasher. Using the hottest water available, run the dishwasher through a cycle. The vinegar will help to wash away the loose, greasy grime, sanitizes, and helps remove the musty odor. Next, sprinkle a cupful of baking soda around the bottom of the tub and run it through a short cycle. The baking soda will help freshen and removing stains.... good to do every 6 mths
Baking Soda + Lemon Juice into a paste; spread around base/floor let dry 15 minutes. Spray with White Vinegar; let fizzle, wipe up.- I will be glad I pinned this in about 3 years ;)

The trial lasted nearly a month before prosecutors and defense attorneys reached a deal Saturday in nearly two hours of talks. Two sisters who pleaded guilty cried during the proceedings.
The tourists from Brooklyn are to be sentenced Monday for their guilty pleas to different charges, among them beating a female police officer and using indecent language. Those are considered minor offenses that usually carry a fine.
Defense attorney Steadroy Benjamin said he was satisfied the deal was reached once the trial was under way because it gave everyone an opportunity to hear evidence from both sides.
Police officers testified the tourists hit them, bit them and pulled their hair after the cab driver drove the group to a police station when they refused to pay a $100 fare.
One of the tourists, Shoshannah Henry, testified she felt the amount was twice what they believed was owed. She also accused the officers of starting the fight Sept. 4 and said she thought police were going to kill them.
Prosecutors presented dozens of pictures that showed the officers' injuries, including one of a bite wound that required stitches.
Court officials delayed at least a dozen other cases to expedite the trial of the Americans, who stayed with local residents who volunteered to house them.

Halifax-based healthcare equipment specialists Sidhil have won an export order worth in excess of three quarters of a million pounds for 900 of the company's high performance three section treatment plinths. Destined for delivery before Christmas, the plinths will be installed in over 300 health clinics throughout Saudi Arabia.
Engineered to cope with the very specific demands of heavier patients, these special bariatric products have been designed and developed by Sidhil's R&D team at the company's production plant in Holmfield. The entire order will be manufactured in Halifax by the skilled workforce, working round the clock to meet the delivery deadlines and providing a great boost for local manufacturing.
Part of a Saudi Arabian Ministry of Health project, the order was won by Sidhil against stiff competition from other manufacturers around the world. Export Manager Paul Hampton has been working on the project for over six months. "Winning this significant order underlines the quality of our products and the competitiveness of our manufacturing processes here in West Yorkshire," he stated.
Sales and Marketing Director Clive Siddall underlines the importance of the order in terms of the company's growth strategy. "Our success in this arena is the culmination of a real team effort," he said. "It's a real boost for our export plans, and justifies our investment in maintaining a presence for UK manufacturing at international trade fairs such as Arab Health."
Managing Director James Ibbotson is equally enthused. "This order is great news for Sidhil and for all our dedicated employees," he commented. "We have the infrastructure and skills in place to ensure that we can satisfy this order whilst continuing to meet the demand from our UK customers during what is generally the busiest time of the year for us."
Sidhil has a policy of sourcing raw materials and other manufacturing components from local companies, so the contract is likely to boost bossiness for other companies in Yorkshire too!

If express check in is a thing then let it be used. Not only was all of my information needed a second time, I was treated as a child, required to provide 3 forms of payment or identity, required to provide an alternate number which was called for no reason...sorry in case I didn't return the $40,000 van that clearly I would want to keep. There's a reason why I never rent through Uhaul clearly I just found it. If these truly are your policies your handing business over to your competition each guest at a time.

The truck we reserved a month in advance was not road ready. The clerk could not give us answers on when the truck was last serviced. The clerk did not do an inspection of the vehicle with us. I had to add two quarts of oil to the vehicle out of my pocket. Once on the road the vehicle had transmission issues and was running at 3,000 to 4,000 tons for the entirety of our trip.

Reservations manager, Maya was extremely rude on the phone to me twice. Insisted that Richard could not get an extension over the phone for the truck, which turned out to be false. She did not seem interested in helping me solve the problems I had with getting the truck back to Kenner. (Harold Amadon, I paid for the rental.)
Alma F. en
The reservation process was terrible. I requested another day on my reservation, however there was no way to do it online and although the agent promised to add an extra day to my rental, it was not done. Therefore I had to return the truck before I could retrieve all of my belongings from storage, costing me many trips with a smaller trailer that I own. Also, the day before the truck rental, I was told that the large 26' (or I could even use a 24') truck I reserved a week in advance, was not available. One was found 2 hours later, but this was very stressful, in addition to the moving stress. I would seriously reconsider using UHaul again.
KRYSTALINE S. en
The representative chasity robert's was completely rude! I was promised one thing by the manager and then told another upon arrival and when I asked Chasity to call customer service or someone to resolve the issue she stated that I could call customer service and she was about to get off! She also said that she did not have to help me because I was rude do to her disrespectful tone and actions! The manager on duty (a guy) did everything he possibly could to fix the situation but I definitely would not recommend this location to my friends and family if they will have to deal with Chasity Roberts!

Deanna was awesome. Very knowledgeable I thought i needed a 10 foot truck. I was picking up 4 pieces of furniture. She asked for the measurement. And advised a truck van would work.

I had boxes that I was told I could return but they wouldn't take them back because I didn't have the receipt. I had 18 large boxes, tabs in place and never used. Also, I stored stuff there for over a year and always used this location... never again. I do want to say the lady that was there when I picked up the truck was very helpful, she was great. The guy that night, not so much. Don't guarantee something if you won't live up to it. I wasted $18.00 on those boxes which I gave uhaul. thanks a lot

Deanna the manager is the most loving and helpful person I've meet at a u-haul. And it trickles down, it only seem she hires the same caliber of people to work for her. When I first moved my stuff into the storage unit, it was a horrible time in my life. And she was extra special. Thank you all.

Spouse murder 5: Newlywed who murdered wife after she discovered his affairs weeps as he is jailed for 17 years
21st September 2010
A cheating husband who strangled his new bride after she discovered his secret affairs with a string of women was today jailed for life.
Michael Roberts, 26, sobbed after being found guilty of murdering Vicky, 25, his wife of five months.
After the killing, the mobile phone salesman concocted an elaborate charade to make it appear that she was still alive.
Roberts sent bogus text messages from her phone to her concerned family and friends, saying the accounts manager for a chemical company had left him for another man.
He slept with his mistress in a hotel and even had a dinner with his in-laws at which he cried over their 'split' - while her dead body lay in their two-bedroom apartment.
Police were called in to investigate, only for him to escape from under their noses.
He slipped away when an officer began searching the garage in which he had dumped his wife's body and evaded capture for four days - staying in hotels under a false name.
When he was eventually caught, Roberts admitted killing his wife but claimed he had accidentally strangled her when a sex game went wrong.
But he was actually leading a double life and had affairs with at least three women, and was romancing a fourth, before and after he married in June last year. Some were colleagues at Phones 4U where he worked and one told the police how they had enjoyed 'gymnastic sex'.
Last night Detective Inspector Jo Miller, who lead the investigation for Cheshire police, said: 'Roberts is a devious individual who has spun this web of lies to cover up the truth.
'It was very cruel of him to pretend Vicky was still alive by sending fake text messages from her phone to her mother. He even called her mother to claim he was choosing a Christmas present for her - this was especially despicable.
'There is no doubt Vicky Roberts married the man of her dreams in June 2009. She was described as "brimming over with happiness" on her wedding day.
'She wanted to make her marriage work at any cost and was willing to forgive him time and time again.
'But Michael Roberts couldn't accept his own failings. He is a coward, a deceitful and arrogant individual who thought he could take different lovers, while at the same time remaining in a loving relationship with Vicky.
'She must have challenged him about his mistress and begged him to give her up. That ultimatum cost Vicky her life.'
Today a jury, sitting at Liverpool Crown Court, took just three hours to find Roberts, who was described as devious and clever, guilty of murder.
Mr Justice Royce jailed him for life and said he must serve a minimum of 17 years before he is eligible for parole.
The judge told Roberts: 'Vicky was a talented, vibrant, caring, lively and loving daughter.
'You cheated on her and deceived her during your relationship before and after your short marriage. She deserved better than that.
'After the killing you spun an elaborate web of deceit. The scale of your subterfuge was very considerable.
'You painted Vicky as the villain who abandoned you for another man and yourself as a wonderful and kind man. This was sickening hypocrisy.
'You went about it in a cold and heartless way to deceive her family and friends and induce sympathy for yourself.'
Vicky Roberts wrote touching letters to her then-fiancé Michael in a bid to persuade him to give up his philandering. An extract follows:
'I just want you to be honest with me. I have no intention of making things difficult between us, I don't want to argue, I just want you, but I cannot continue to share you with her in this way.
'I want you to cut all ties with her...
'Mike, I love you, so much that I don't think you truly know just how much. I know that all the sneaking round is hurting you as well...
'I love you, and I want to make our marriage work, I just hope that this last week has shown that to you...
'You seem to be hiding yourself even more from me. If I go near your phone you react as if I've done something wrong, you are constantly texting everyone else, yet admit deleting every message.
'Mike, I have never read your phone messages, and never would, but it hurts that you do not trust me when you have access to and have even read my texts without a second thought. I hide nothing from you, and feel like I don't know you.
'Firstly, believe me when I say that you mean the world to me, and although we have had some obstacles, we have always worked through them together, and I can honestly say I love you more than ever because of this.
'I can't wait for June 21st 2009 [wedding date] and our lives together.'
The court heard that Roberts had a 13-month affair with Kerrie Hall, 31, an administration boss at Phones4U, for whom he worked as an assistant store manager.
She told police Roberts liked rough sex and that they enjoyed gymnastic sex sessions. He had twice tried to throttle her during intercourse, claiming it would make it more enjoyable.
Roberts had a second lover in Karen Wilson, 26, who he met two months before his marriage and while still seeing Miss Hall.
A month before she died - on November 29 last year - Mrs Roberts confronted her husband after becoming suspicious about his text messages and entries on Facebook.
The court heard that she was 'distraught and heartbroken' after learning of his infidelity, but was desperate to save her marriage. She wrote touching letters to Roberts in a bid to persuade him to give up his philandering.
He promised to be faithful but instead continued the relationship with Miss Wilson, telling her he had ended his marriage and moved in with his parents.
Phone records obtained by police revealed that the pair contacted each other more than 5,000 times in November alone.
On the night of Mrs Roberts's death the couple had dinner before returning to their £125,000 flat in Runcorn, Cheshire.
Roberts claimed they had sex, during which he accidentally strangled her when she asked him to tie the cord of a bath robe around her neck.
But medical evidence revealed a bath robe tie was not the ligature and considerable force was used to throttle her.
Within minutes of his wife's death Roberts called Miss Wilson and spent more than two hours on the telephone to her, acting as if nothing had happened.
The couple spent the following day shopping with a friend, Lavinia Tolley, 26, who Roberts also admitted kissing several times behind his wife's and Miss Wilson's back, and had sex in a hotel in Bangor, north Wales.
The two were spotted kissing and cuddling and behaving by a pub landlord, who later recognised his picture from the television appeals and called police.
Roberts then started using his wife's phone to send texts to himself, her friends and parents, claiming she had walked out.
He called Mrs Roberts' mother to ask for advice on what to buy his wife for Christmas and even had dinner with his in-laws, knowing all the time their daughter was dead.
Roberts also got rid of his wife's clothes and bought silk sheets to prepare the former marital bedroom for his mistress.
He even joked with work colleagues that he couldn't have killed his wife because his car boot was too small to hold a body.
CCTV recovered from a supermarket and a DIY store showed Roberts buying bin bags, insulation sheets and duct tape, which he used to wrap up his wife's corpse.
When police were eventually called, Roberts fled and went on the run for four days.
He was eventually caught after Miss Tolley spotted him outside the mobile phone shop she managed and called police.

A few weekend past, the boys and I wanted to get out and hike. We decided to try a new trail on the west side of Bozeman Pass called the Chestnut Mountain Trail. I didn't know a whole lot about it, but I knew where the trailhead was, which is basically all the knowledge I require before taking my little kids into the woods.
It was one of those hikes that began roughly and didn't get much better. Rigby started the morning off by pooping in the back of the truck. He couldn't wait four minutes while I got the kids dressed. Awesome.
There was a ton of poop on the ground at the trailhead (not from my dog, obviously). So, as I dealt with the situation in the back of the truck I kept yelling to the kids, "watch out for the dog poop!" and "don't move!" and "aahhhh!" Then I'd see them trip and fall inched from feces. Stressful, yes, But, no one stepped in poop–that I am aware of.
The trail was snow packed, but only the trail. Step half an inch off the trail and you were crotch deep in the snow. The trail wasn't wide enough for two people, even if one was tiny, but Finn insisted on holding hands. We took turns post-holing. When he went under, I'd pull him out, then dig his stuck boot out.
All the while, Anders yelled encouraging words like, "hurry up!" and "go faster!" And the dogs ran up and down the trail getting in our way.
Did I mention the trail is near the highway as it climbs what I assume is Chestnut Mountain? I almost couldn't hear Anders yelling at us.
(I imagine if you were walking at a normal pace, you'd get past the dog poop and the noise pretty quickly, but we were walking at Finn pace, so we spent most of our hike in poop and noise.)
After about a mile, Anders was over it. We had a snack and enjoyed the view. This was actually pretty nice. Then we headed back down.
Anders was a little under-dressed, tired and dangerously close to a meltdown. I was able to keep him moving and not crying until close to the bottom. Then Diesel pushed him face first into the snow. Awesome.
On the drive home, Anders said, "this is one of my best hikes ever." And I thought I had short term memory problems.

Twisting Wrenches
With an artist's touch, a Sturgis craftsman brings back the old bikes
Story G. E. Light | Photographs Luisa Porter
Craig "Vech" Vechorik has been a leading vintage and classic BMW motorcycle restorer in Sturgis, of all places, for more than 30 years. He's not difficult to find in this village of 200 souls; just look for the black pole topped by a BMW motorcycle straddled by a dinosaur skeleton.
Vechorik, a ropy 60-something fellow with a salt-and-pepper handlebar mustache and a deep growl, met me in the driveway.
We entered the shop and were immediately joined by a beautiful tabby named Dipstick and a newly restored BMW R69S ready to be shipped back to Australia. Dipstick followed us through the first room, which overlooked the business office and parts warehouse, eventually losing interest, as cats will, as we headed into the back room where Craig's museum of more than 25 restored BMW Motorrad plus assorted other memorabilia and trophies for restoration work abide.
Here Vechorik begins to narrate his winding career and its varying connections to the bike business. In 1970, he started "twisting wrenches" at Dave McLemore's Lakehill Motors, a Honda/Kawasaki dealer. Today that shop in Clayton Village is Paula and Carl Ivey's Village Cycle Center.
In the mid-'70s, while working the engine room of a Mississippi River towboat, Vechorik headed into Cape Giradeau, Missouri, straight to a BMW dealership and rode out of it on a brand new 1975 R90S, establishing his continuing love of the marque. He still owns this bike; it's the next-to-last bike in his chronological museum.
A few years on, he followed a college friend to Austin, Texas, where he twisted wrenches in an independent BMW shop. There in 1977 he restored his first BMW, a 1964 R27, beginning an almost 40-year obsession.
In 1980, fate intervened as his buddy was offered a major computing position with the Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) research project funded by the U.S. Department of Energy. He agreed to move back, if they could find a position for his roommate. Thus Vechorik began a 20-plus year career there, first as mechanical tech then as purchasing agent.
During the period, Vechorik describes his routine: "I'd work eight hours a day at my job and then spend eight hours in the evening and all day weekends pursuing my passion finding derelict antique BMW and precursor motorcycles and restoring them. At that point it was just a hobby."
After two decades, Vechorik began to conceive of his hobby as a potential second post-retirement career. He spoke of his dream with his then-girlfriend, Elaine. They began scouting potential sites for the business. They stumbled upon the former Action Apparel garment factory, an 8,000-square-foot space with a full variety of voltage wiring (220/440/110) and heavy-duty transformers on a five-acre site, which had lain dormant for 20 years.
They sought a bank loan, which was quickly offered with one proviso: The couple and partners should marry. Sixteen years later they remain partners in both senses of the word. He named their new business Bench Mark Works LLC, a double entendre, as the initials made clear what he worked on and the name in full suggested his goal, to produce the restorations by which all others are measured. While there were some trying times at first, today the firm is known the world over for the quality of his handiwork. His museum boasts a chronological history of BMWs from the 1920s to now, but his primary restoration business focuses on two eras of BMW designs, the "vintage" (1948-1969) and the "classic" (1969-1975).
After touring the museum, we entered the pleasantly air-conditioned shop, where the magic happens. Vech sprawled on a chair with his legs up on a worktable framed from behind by his current bike restoration project. I asked him to describe a generic restoration project: "Well, they're all different really. It's both science (the engineering and mechanical part) and art. But every job starts with me completely disassembling the bike. Then I slowly rebuild it, replacing parts as need be from my warehouse of more than 7,000 parts. I use stainless steel for an aesthetic look and glass bead every engine case so that they sparkle. Another vendor provides the standard BMW black paint jobs."
After finishing a tour of the main building, there is one more surprise for me in an adjacent garage. His beloved white with red highlights faux 1939 Dover Ford pickup. A look inside the cab reveals a traditional gear shift on the floor with modern accelerator, clutch and brake pedals plus a window crank which only turns enough to operate electric windows. Under the hood is revealed the engine from a Nissan truck. Much labor went into resizing the chassis so the outer body would fit. Here's yet another testament to the art of Vechorik's engineering: Something old is new again.

The Mr. made a new friend during our trip to US: a horse. I can't say it was love at first sight on either side:
and a small amount of instruction for the Mr.,
both the Mr. and the horse got comfy and by the end we even got a smile from everyone involved.
Turns out strange friendships aren't unknown in the barnyard.
In case anyone is interested in what an electric fence shock feels like, the Mr. can provide a detailed description. This is him a minute after he confused the fence with a guardrail and got a real shock.
Thanks to Little One for the riding lesson!

It's a pretty fascinating class but science and math have never really been my thing so I have a hard time comprehending what is actually going on. Good news is the professor makes the class easy for the students. Our final project for the class is to journal 20 times about stargazing. It definitely gives me an excuse to stargaze with Christian! :p
With Love,
