Structural, functional and immunogenic insights on Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase pathogenic virulence factors from Neisseria meningitidis and Brucella abortus
Bacterial pathogens Neisseria meningitidis and Brucella abortus pose threats to human and animal health worldwide, causing meningococcal disease and brucellosis, respectively. Mortality from acute N. meningitidis infections remains high despite antibiotics, and brucellosis presents alimentary and health consequences. Superoxide dismutases are master regulators of reactive oxygen, general pathogenicity factors and therefore therapeutic targets. Cu,Zn superoxide dismutases (SODs) localized to the periplasm promote survival by detoxifying superoxide radicals generated by major host antimicrobial immune responses. We discovered that passive immunization with an antibody directed at N. meningitidis SOD (NmSOD) was protective in a mouse infection model. To define the relevant atomic details and solution assembly states of this important virulence factor, we report high-resolution and X-ray scattering analyses of NmSOD and SOD from B. abortus (BaSOD). The NmSOD structures revealed an auxiliary tetrahedral Cu-binding site bridging the dimer interface; mutational analyses suggested that this metal site contributes to protein stability, with implications for bacterial defense mechanisms. Biochemical and structural analyses informed us about electrostatic substrate guidance, dimer assembly and an exposed C-terminal epitope in the NmSOD dimer. In contrast, the monomeric BaSOD structure provided insights for extending immunogenic peptide epitopes derived from the protein. These collective results reveal unique contributions ofmore »

Reported cyber attacks on U.S. government computer networks climbed 40 percent last year, says USA Today.
Federally tracked accounts of unauthorized access to government computers and installations of hostile programs rose from a combined 3,928 incidents in 2007 to 5,488 in 2008. Yet, only 1 percent of federal agencies have fully developed tracking systems to monitor hacking, and the government remains tight-lipped on details concerning the number or types of attacks that succeed.
Still, these reports are the best public accounting of such attacks and underscore concerns driving federal cyber security initiatives. They show that:
- Government networks are targeted by foreign nations seeking intelligence, such as China and Russia, as well as criminal groups and individuals who may want to disrupt power, communication or financial systems.
- Some attackers may be less interested in stealing data than in undermining a system's ability to operate, such as by planting software that could slow critical networks in emergencies.
- Security officials are especially alarmed about phishing, in which seemingly legitimate e-mails solicit sensitive information, and "Web redirects," which shunt a computer to a Web site where it downloads malicious software.
As part of a Comprehensive Cyber Security Initiative launched by President Bush, the government has cut the number of portals linking federal computer networks to the Internet from 4,500 to 2,500. This success has prompted further action from President Obama, who recently named Melissa Hathaway, head of Bush's cybersecurity initiative, to run a 60-day review of federal cybersecurity programs.

Felt superhero masks are sure to delight your little superhero! This step by step tutorial includes both sew and no-sew directions for Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, Thor, Wolverine, Batman, Batgirl, and Spiderman masks.
As you know if you follow regularly, Carter just turned the big 5! We had his first friends birthday party this weekend to celebrate. Being the DIY addicted mom that I am, I immediately went to Pinterest to find a few ideas for his Superhero themed birthday party. I found this awesome Felt Superhero Masks tutorial with free templates from Cutesy Crafts. Originally the party was supposed to be just Avengers themed, but we expanded a little because my son loved all the masks. We ended up making Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, Thor, Wolverine, Batman, Batgirl, and Spiderman.
I had felt left over from another project, so I just had to get a few additional colors and some elastic. The original post has a great tutorial, so check it out when you get the templates. I'll go over the basics and some tips here though.
Felt Superhero Masks Supplies:
1. Craft felt, colors listed for each character:
2. Thread in coordinating colors with your felt
3. Elastic – I used 1/4″ elastic cut into about 12″ lengths
4. Marker for drawing on Spiderman and Thor details
5. Templates for masks. *Some supplies links may be linking to affiliate links on amazon.com or other trusted retailers.
No Sew Note: I really considered not sewing these and just gluing them together. With sewing they are really durable though, so if you decide to use craft glue, I would suggest still sewing the elastic in. You could hand sew the elastic if you don't have a machine.
First I cut out all of my templates and all of my felt. When you cut out the templates, you'll want to make two copies of many of the templates. one for the outside of the mask shape and one for the details. I traced the templates on to my felt with a pen, except for the black felt where I used a white crayon. I did double layers of each of the masks so they were sturdier. Some had three layers with the overlay details.
I started with Batman as my practice mask because it was the easiest, without any additional details or overlays. I pinned together 2 pieces of black felt cut to the template with the ends of the elastic in between the two pieces of felt.
Sew around the mask keeping fairly close to the edge of the felt. Sew around the outside, then around the eyes. I trimmed up the edges afterward where I wasn't sewing close enough to the edge.
For other masks that had details on them, I sewed the details on first and then sewed the top and bottom of the mask together. This required quite a bit of thread switching on my machine, but I tried to strategically do all of one color across all masks where I could (like sewing Batman, and then the details on Hulk and Wolverine) before switching to the next thread color.
Every time I get my machine out, I have to get the manual out to remind myself how to thread it. After this project I think I'm a pro! Here are a few examples of how I sewed the details on along with the backs. For Hulk, I sewed the eyebrows on the top piece of green felt first just with a straight line down the middle. Then I pinned together the back piece of green felt and the hair onto the top piece. I sewed the hair on with black thread while also sewing all the pieces together at the top. Then I switched my thread to green and sewed around the rest of the mask and eyes where I needed to sew the top and bottom pieces together. With Hulk I could have probably used black thread all the way around since the green felt was dark.
For Iron Man I pinned together the yellow overlay on top of the top and bottom red felt pieces. Then I sewed around the yellow. I changed to red thread and finished the small top and side areas that only had red exposed. I added my elastic when I sewed the red part.
I made about 25 masks. I wasn't expecting quite that many kids at the party, but I wanted Carter to be able to have one of each, and I wasn't sure which masks would be the most popular. Thankfully there wasn't a lot of fighting at the party over the masks. I had a small fear of that after I had finished them all and only had 3-4 of each! Here are a few pictures of Carter and my nieces modeling the masks when I was in the middle of working on them.
I'll share pictures from the party later this week. I will say that the masks were a huge hit with all the kids! Thank goodness, as making so many of them took a fair amount of time. Well worth it though in the end when the kids were having so much fun with them. These would make a great gift for a superhero loving kid or for a Halloween party at school.
so fun! the perfect dress up accessory!
Super cute idea! I'd love if you'd link up to The DIY'ers. http://homecomingmn.blogspot.com/2013/10/diyers-32-and-marathon-weekend.html

Galatasaray secured their third third successive Turkish Cup with a 1-0 win over their bitter rivals Fenerbahce.
The former Arsenal forward Lukas Podolski scored the games only goal midway though the first half he headed home Jason Denayer's flick-on.
Galatasaray's victory means the Lion's will serve their one-year ban from European football – imposed by UEFA for not complying with Financial Fair Play rules – next season.
The Istanbul Giants will be eligible to play in Europe once again in the 2017-18 campaign.
Galatasaray are unbeaten against Fenerbahce in their five cup finals.
Fenerbahce winger Luis Nani was sent off following the final whistle after sarcastically applauding the referee.

Article 12 of the Solomon Islands' constitution guarantees freedom of expression and freedom of information, and the government generally respects these rights. However, defamation is a criminal offense, and authorities have in the past filed or threatened charges or civil suits against the press. In 2011, the Island Sun newspaper was threatened with a SI$75,000 (US$10,000) compensation demand by supporters of legislator Namson Tram, following a front-page report about Tram's alleged purchase and private registration of his government vehicle. No defamation cases against journalists were reported in 2012. There is currently no freedom of information law in the Solomon Islands. In an unfortunate rebuff to access to government officials, former parliamentarian and cabinet minister Jimmy Lusibaea banned his wife Vika, who was successfully elected for the North Malaita seat in August 2012 and who became the only woman in the National Parliament, from speaking to the foreign news media.
While the political and news media environment remained fairly stable and diverse, pressure from politicians trying to limit public debate is still a problem, especially for some fledgling news outlets that are attempting to contribute to a plurality of voices. Due to the country's volatile history, some journalists are prone to self-censorship. However, as the country has recovered from the 1998-2003 ethnic conflict, journalists have generally been able to cover the news more freely, without harassment. In 2008, the multinational assistance mission to the country launched the Solomon Islands Media Strengthening Scheme, which continues to train journalists and give them technical support. Attacks against media workers are rare, and none were reported in 2012.
The Solomon Star daily dominates the print sector, but there are a number of weekly papers. The Solomon Islands Broadcasting Corporation operates the national public station Radio Happy Isles as well as Wantok FM and the provincial stations Radio Happy Lagoon and Radio Temotu. Paoa FM leads the commercial radio sector. One Television, a relatively recent addition to the media landscape, has proven to be an innovative broadcaster, adding a competitive and challenging edge to the industry. Due to low literacy levels, broadcast media reach a much broader swathe of the population than print outlets. There are no restrictions on internet access, but high costs and a lack of infrastructure limited internet penetration to 7 percent of the population in 2012.

Well, happy Thanksgiving weekend, unless you are an unemployed American whose federal benefits seem likely to run out Tuesday. In that case, try to find a bone to chew on and hope for lumps of coal in your Christmas stocking, so you at least can start a fire.
Both the U.S. House and Senate have majorities in favor of extending benefits for another 12 weeks, but a solid Republican vote against extension blocks it from passage. Rep. Phil Gingrey, R-Ga., expressed what is apparently a heartfelt conviction among many Americans when he said recently, "A long extension is kind of a disincentive for people to really get out and work their butts off to get a job. You have to draw the line somewhere."
Christmas seems an inappropriate line-drawing time. Forget about the no-goodniks that many people think are sitting around drinking beer and watching TV, waiting for the unemployment check. This image of the unemployed is a myth created to excuse anti-government philosophy, a cruel truth that explains too much about our society and politics today. Find me a person without a job who says he or she would rather sit around and collect an unemployment check of $300 than have a job. I'd like to interview him or her.
Instead, think about the hard-working business owners who are depending on the usual holiday boost in sales. They are waiting for customers, some of whom are unemployed and will spend every cent they get in benefits, usually on necessities.
The unemployment benefits package for the next 90 days would cost the government $12.5 billion. Some Republicans say they'd vote for it if that amount is cut from somewhere else in the federal budget. That's a great idea, and Democrats should jump at the chance. Building a few less bombers at the Lockheed plant in Gingrey's hometown of Marietta, or reducing operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, would scare up that much money in a few days.
General Motors has just reported a profit and issued new stock that should be a windfall for the federal government, which owned 60 percent of GM. Many banks rescued by the federal Troubled Asset Relief Program have paid back the money loaned to them by the government. Can't any of this be used to make Christmas merrier for the Americans whose unemployment benefits are likely to expire?
It's interesting that the unemployment benefits issue is before Congress at the same time lawmakers are debating whether to grant a tax cut to working Americans, some of whom are doing quite well. For example, conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh, one of the most effective opponents of federal help for the jobless and ne'er-do-wells who didn't have the gumption to get a radio show, makes about $50 million a year.
Keep in mind that the tax being debated is 3.5 percent of annual income above $250,000.
The juxtaposition of tax cuts and unemployment benefits is another case of demand-siders versus supply-siders. It's the demand side that has pulled the United States out of every recession in its history, because when there's no demand, companies curtail operations, businesses close their doors, and restaurants go out of business.
Georgia, by the way, is eighth among the 50 states in number of people receiving unemployment benefits. California is first by far, with 454,000, compared with 84,000 in Georgia.
The economy is a mess, no doubt about it, and there's lots of blame to go around. But the Christmas season is not the time to start tightening screws that are already threadbare, while throwing an extra turkey to those whose plates are full.

It has been fourteen years since the previous RIA Safety Standard was adopted, and a new set of guidelines has recently been developed to better reflect modern safety practices and hardware advancements made since the RIA R15.06:199 standard. This new revision will make automation systems even safer for workers. RIA R15.06.:2012 has taken full effect as of January 1, 2015, and while not legally mandated, should be adhered to fully in order to meet best practices in robotic safety.
Conforming to RIA R15.06:2012 can require a change in the allocation of valuable time within your organization— Potentially taking time away from other important tasks depending on the size of your process. These changes also will require additional resources, ranging from safety experts and additional operators to programming, controls, and maintenance. Increased liabilities are also a concern; without proper implementation of the new standard, there could be an increased liability for your organization. If you have determined that you may not have the time, resources, or expertise to fully comply with the new RIA standard, you may consider outsourcing.
Consider this; Some companies that provide consulting services also are associated with safety hardware manufacturers or may even sell safety hardware directly. They may come attached to a product agenda that could include purchasing their specific products. A fully third party safety group such as Sentinel Machine Safety that carries no direct connections and does not sell hardware may be the best way to consider hiring a consulting group to help round out the potential shortcomings in your safety team.

Skin Rejuvienation FAQs
The effects of age and sun of the skin
As the skin ages and the sun wreaks its havoc, the subdermal collagen and elastin support network breaks down. Lines and wrinkles appear, age spots surface and the facial structure soon loses its fight against gravity. Creams and serums can only do so much to fix the breakdown of the skin's matrix, pigmentation problems and other effects of the sun. Laser therapy, on the other hand, employs a precise wavelength of light energy to go where topical treatments can't travel. In fact, studies demonstrate that laser therapy helps create a rejuvenated appearance, smoother texture, even skin tone and decreased pore size.
Revlite: Maximum results with minimal downtime
In the past, physicians only used ablative lasers to wound the top layers of the skin. While these aggressive lasers are still used to treat deep wrinkles and advanced photodamage, they can mean significant downtime for the patient. RevLite is a non-ablative laser that uses PhotoAcoustic Technology Pulse (PTP) ener gy for quick full-face t reatment options with no downtime and minimal discomfort. As new collagen synthesizes, lines and wrinkles diminish while the facial structure appears and feels firmer and smoother.
What to Expect
The RevLite laser is extremely safe when administered by an experienced practitioner. The selective energy targets only collagen fibers or pigment. The addition of the Photo- Acoustic Technology Pulse (PTP) feature on the RevLite laser allows practitioners to treat large spot sizes on all skin types, even dark and tanned skin, with the highest degree of safety, effectiveness and comfort. This advanced PTP setting penetrates the skin to stimulate collagen, and diminish wrinkles and acne scars. As the laser is administered, patients describe feeling a tingling sensation. A topical anesthetic is usually not necessary. Because non-ablative laser rejuvenation is a gradual process, four to six treatments spaced three to Five weeks apart are typically indicated.

Commonly asked questions for RevLite Skin Rejuvenation
The RevLite features an advanced PTP setting (PhotoAcoustic Technology Pulse) that gently penetrates the skin to stimulate new collagen. The result is a smoother texture and a reduction in wrinkles and acne scars.
Non-ablative laser treatments using PhotoAcoustic energy are quick. A full face treatment takes about 20 minutes.
Many people describe the feeling of non-ablative laser therapy as a tingling sensation. Anesthesia is usually not necessary, but you may request a topical cream if you wish.
When used by experienced practitioners, lasers are extremely safe. The energy is very selective and targets only the collagen fibers or pigment. Advanced lasers that use PhotoAcoustic energy can treat all skin colors safely—including darker and tanned skin.
Laser skin rejuvenation may cause a mild to moderate redness, which usually fades within an hour after treatment. No specific post-care is needed, although you will be asked to avoid sun and certain skin products for a period of time. It is important to follow your physician's instructions and ask if you have any questions.
Although you will notice results after your first treatment, non-ablative laser skin rejuvenation is a gradual process. You typically need four to six treatments spaced three to five weeks apart. Many patients choose to return for regular treatments to maintain their great results. Just as they schedule hair color and nail appointments, many women schedule laser treatments every one to three months as part of their ongoing skincare routine.
Pigment Removal FAQs
Freckles, sun spots, unwanted pigment
Brown spots on the skin may often be perceived as a sign of aging, like fine lines and wrinkles. Freckles may have been cute when you were a kid, but now these melanin deposits are looking more like
the aging remains from too many days lounging in the sun. Freckles, sun spots, liver
spots—whatever you call them, they're technically known as "pigmented lesions"and they form when melanin concentrates in one area of the skin, usually as a result of overexposure to the sun's UV rays.
The RevLite Breakthrough Advanced laser technology with Q-Switched Nd:YAG wavelengths offers a proven method to permanently remove most brown spots, freckles and unwanted pigment. The light vibrates and shatters the pigment and breaks the melanin into micro-particles, lightening and removing
the dark, aging spot. Most pigmented lesions disappear after 1 to 2 treatments; deeper lesions may require more treatments.
What to expect
The RevLite emits light in rapid, short pulses at high peak energy for maximum efficacy and comfort. The impact feels like no more than the snap of a thin rubber band. As the light shatters the pigment and diffuses the lesion, the spot will turn gray or white for a few minutes as the skin absorbs the energy. Any post-treatment discomfort will feel similar to a mild sunburn, and any redness will dissipate within a day or two as the skin returns to its natural color.

Commonly asked questions about RevLIte Pigment Removal
Melanin is what gives our skin its color. The amount of melanin in your skin determines if you have a light or dark complexion. Pigmented lesions are dark in color because the melanin is concentrated in one area of the skin, usually as a result of overexposure to the sun's damaging ultraviolet rays.
Q-Switched Nd:YAG lasers produce a special wavelength of light that is absorbed by pigmented lesions. The light vibrates and shatters the pigment, breaking the melanin into micro-particles and lightening the lesion. You'll notice the spot turning gray or white for a few minutes, a natural response of the skin as it absorbs the energy. The spot will then turn darker and slough off completely within one to two weeks.
Lasers work well to remove brown age spots, freckles and other brown birthmarks, such as cafe-au-lait spots and Nevus of Ota. Your physician will identify your specific type of lesion and discuss the treatment for your condition.
No. The laser light is specifically designed to target the dark concentrations of melanin. After the concentrated deposit of melanin is removed, some whitening could occur. However, your body's natural regenerative system will replace the normal melanin over a period of time, returning the skin to its natural color.
Most pigmented lesions are removed within one to two treatments. Some deeper lesions will require more treatments.
The PhotoAcoustic energy of a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser emits light in very fast, short pulses. The impact of the energy from the pulse of light is similar to the snap of a very thin rubber band. No anesthesia is needed. After treatment, the area will feel similar to a mild sunburn. Any redness will disappear within a day or so and the skin will return to its natural color.
Common pigmented lesions do not return. Some birthmarks may return after a period of several months to a year. However, the procedure can be repeated.
Usually, an antibacterial ointment and a dressing will be applied to the area immediately after treatment. The area should be kept clean with continued application of any ointment given to you by your physician.

Red Pencil Thursday
Mozart and Beethoven are two of my favorite classical musicians, but their method of composition could hardly have been different. Mozart's pieces sprang to life fully formed in his head. All he had to do was write them down. Beethoven, however, left us reams of notebooks filled with his crude beginnings and unformed musical thoughts.
There may be a few Mozarts in the romance world, but most of us are more like Beethoven. We write draft after draft. In the immortal words of La Nora, we "can fix a bad page, but we can't fix a blank page."
That's why I so appreciate my RPT volunteers. While I hope they gain from the Red Pencil experience, what they're really doing is letting others learn from their efforts. Suzan Tisdale, my volunteer today, is a successful author already. Her Laiden's Daughter has sold over 30,000 copies since February 2012. But she's agreed to let us all go to school on the first draft of her new WIP. Now that's a generous heart!
Wee William's Woman
The thought of running his dirk across the throats of the whoreson's who inhabited the tiny cottage brought a smile to his face. He'd either bring back the treasures or the whoreson's heads in baskets. Either way, he'd not leave this God forsaken country empty handed.
Mia: You've shown us how ruthless this protagonist is in only a few sentences. That's good. We want our characters to have firm goals and we know his. However, whoreson's shouldn't have an apostrophe and it's a unique enough word not to use more than once. Repetition cuts its effectiveness. Also, I believe God-forsaken is usually hyphenated. (Grammar geeks please weigh in!)
It was to have been an easy mission, but nothing about it had been easy since they left Castle Gregor more than a sinnight ago. They'd been plagued with a lame horse, a blizzard of near epic proportions, and a bout of a stomach ailment that that was almost as fierce as the damned blizzard. To say the least, his patience had worn thin.
Mia: I think you mean sennight (one week) instead of sinnight. I'd really love to have you use the man's name by this point. I need a name in order to feel any sort of connection with him.
Now the two men he'd sent in to the barn to retrieve the treasures were walking toward him empty handed. As they approached, he contemplated what course of action to take next. Moments later the door to the cottage opened. Yellow candlelight spilled out onto the soft winter snow and a half-asleep young man stood in the doorway. The young man looked positively terrified.
Mia: It's impossible to be both half-asleep and terrified. Terror has a way of jolting all the systems into full operational mode.
They were huge, hairy, intimidating men covered with furs. Moonlight glinted off the steel of their swords that hung at their sides or that clung to their backs. Three were on large stallions and two more were on foot.
Mia: Are these the men he sent into the barn? I'm a little confused at this point. Also, remember what Angela James, Carina Press editor, always says: "Not every noun deserves an adjective." You've given 'men' 3 of them.
The two on foot had approached him with a speed he would not have thought possible considering their size. Before he realized what was happening, they had their swords drawn and pressed against his chest. He was too shocked and terrified to utter anything more than a gasp and certainly not brave enough to try to warn the others that slept peacefully unaware inside the small cottage.
Mia: There's been a jarring POV shift here. First we're in the mind of the nameless fellow who intends to kill all the whoresons. Now we seem to be inside the guy who wandered to the door. Either POV would work, but it's easier for readers to follow the thread of the action if you stick with one.
The young man wasn't sure if it were snarls or smiles that were plastered to the brutes' faces. He didn't have the nerve or where with all to inquire. Without a word, the two men quietly backed him into the cottage until he was firmly pressed against the wall.
Mia: Different sorts of action call for different rhythms in our prose. Quick violent action like you're describing will read better if it's told in short sentences. Try this:
Either snarls or smiles were plastered to the brutes' faces. The young man didn't have the nerve to inquire which. Without a word, the two men backed him into the cottage. They didn't stop till his spine pressed the wall.
The two warriors gave a quick survey of their surroundings, all the while keeping their swords pressed against the English man's quaking chest. They took note of a man asleep on a pallet in front of the fire while another slept on the only bed. The room smelled of smoke, bad ale and sweat.
Mia: Ok. Now we're in the two intruders' POV. That said, I like the details you've given us. My old crit partner Darcy Carson always complained when she couldn't "smell the scene." You've taken care of that for us here.
As the young man trembled, he looked toward the door. His eyes grew wider when he saw the dark, imposing, silhouette that stood at the doorway. A man, or half of him anyway, stood at the entrance of the cottage and mumbled something barely audible, and in a language the young man didn't understand. It sounded Gaelic and quite irritated. As he continued to quake, he wondered what highlanders were doing here of all places.
Mia: And now we're back in the young man's head. I know what you're trying to get at by saying 'or half of him anyway.' You want to emphasize the large size of the fellow at the door, but it doesn't read quite right.
A heavy sigh came from the doorway as the giant bent at his waist, turned slightly and entered at an odd angle. There was no way he could stand upright in the tiny cottage, therefore he stood crouching sideways as he looked around the room. The scowl on his face was enough to make anyone with a half a dose of common sense or instinct take pause.
Mia: 'Take pause' seems a little tame for the terror you've shown in the young man. Can you punch that up a few notches?
I sense something violent is about to happen, but I'm still not invested enough in any of the characters to care. I need names. I need a reason to worry for the young man. I need a reason to hate the 'whoresons.' Are the 'treasures,' by chance, this big highlander's children? That would change this scene out of all knowing for me.
Choosing the POV character for a scene is an important writerly decision. Some people advise picking the person with the most to lose. Others say you should inhabit the head of the person who'll see things in the most interesting light. However we choose, it's important to make a choice. When I first started writing, I thought 3rd person omniscient meant I could pop in and out of any head I wanted at any time. The result was chaos. Omniscient POV is the most distant one a writer can choose and the one that makes it most difficult for readers to establish a connection with the characters. Many YA books are written in first person because it creates an instant rapport between the reader and the POV character. Experiment with which POV gives you the most engaging beginning.
You know I love your adventure-filled stories. I'm sure this will be another terrific one!
Mia: Usually, my volunteers post their responses to my comments. Suzan has submitted a total rewrite instead, picking a single POV. I think it really smooths out this opening. See if you agree:
Version 2 of Wee William's Woman
The thought of running his dirk across the throats of the whoresons who inhabited the tiny cottage brought a smile to his face. He'd either bring back the treasures they'd been sent to retrieve, or their heads in baskets. Either way, he'd not leave this God-forsaken country empty handed.
It was to have been an easy mission, but nothing about it had been easy since they left Castle Gregor more than a sennight ago. They'd been plagued with a lame horse, a blizzard of near epic proportions, and a bout of a stomach ailment that that was almost as fierce as the blizzard. To say the least, the giant man's patience had worn thin. The eight men who traveled with him were growing just as impatient.
Now the two men he'd sent in to the barn to retrieve the treasures were walking toward him empty handed. As they approached, he straightened himself in his saddle and cast a frustrated look to the two men who sat atop horses on either side of him. Eager smiles formed on their lips, which brought one to his own. They were just as eager as he to seek vengeance on the three men who'd cut the braid off a beautiful lass more than two years past. The bastards had made her life a living hell. Now the Highlanders had the opportunity to make right, the appalling wrongs that had been done to Aishlinn McEwan.
Before he could form his next thought, the door to the cottage slowly opened. Yellow candlelight spilled out onto the soft winter snow and a half-asleep young man stood in the doorway, scratching his stomach and yawning. The instant he caught sight of the Highlanders that filled the yard before him, terror came alive in his eyes and he dropped the candle he'd been holding. The flame sizzled in the snow before the light extinguished.
The two men on foot approached the young man with such stealth and speed that he'd no time at all to react. The young Englishman gasped as the two large Highlanders pressed their swords against his chest. Silently, they backed him into the cottage until his spine pressed against the wall.
The giant and his men quickly dismounted to follow the others inside. The giant paused at the threshold and cursed the low doorway. He hated small cottages with low ceilings for 'twas impossible for him to stand completely upright in one.
The warriors inside gave a quick survey of their surroundings. They took note of a man asleep on a pallet in front of the low burning fire, while another slept on the only bed. The room smelled of smoke, bad ale and sweat.
With a frustrated sigh and a shake of his head, the giant entered the cottage at an odd angle. The scowl on his face was enough to make the bones of anyone with a half a dose of common sense to rattle with fear.
Thanks, Suzan! If you'd like to read more of Ms. Tisdale's work, let me recommend her newest: Findley's Lass . It's the second book in her Clan MacDougall series.
This is the final weekend to take advantage of the special offer on my Touch of a Thief–only $3.99 for your Kindle! It's a great way to start my Touch of Seduction series.
And now, since the strength of this group depends on the critical eyes gathered around my cyber-table, Suzan and I are waiting for YOUR comments! We look forward to hearing from YOU.

I am both cursed and blessed to married to a Dental Hygienist. Blessed because she takes really good care of my teeth (and because she is the love of my life) and cursed because she is constantly after me about my teeth. She and the dentist she works for have been very concerned about any steriod use and we really keep an eye on the bone density as it pertains to the jaw and bone surrounding my teeth.
Two other big issues to be aware of: 1) If you have had surgery with-in the year prior to seeing your dentist be sure to mention it before you have anything done...this means cleanings or anything. Surgery can lower your resistence to infection and work done in the mouth is a higher than normal risk for infection...so your dentist may want you to be on anti-b's either before or after treatment. The dentist may do nothing...may even be surprised that you bring it up....but it is better to be safe than sorry. Infections in the mouth are extremely dangerous because they are so close to the heart, brain and spine. You wuld be surprised by the number of people who die or get gravely ill every year due to mouth/tooth infections.
2) Have your dentist and or hygienist take a close look in your mouth at your gums. In the past year my wife has found 5 patients with the beginnings of oral cancer. All were caught in early stages and four of the five show no signs of complicatuions. Sadly, one of the five has now undergone two operations, had bone and tissue removed and the final outcome is still in question.....BUT...if left untreated and undetected all of the five could have faced serious life threatening issues. Even the one who is having to go through the radical treatments is better off ...he had his oncologist call my wife and the dentist (as well as send a letter) letting them know thatthe cancer was so aggressive that had they not found the tiny, tiny spot on his gums and insisted that he seek immediate testing...He would be dead.
I know so many of us are never hungry enough to eat....so what is the use of having teeth...but we do need them and more than that we need our entire mouths checked...it is not just healthy teeth...but healthy teeth, gums, and bone...it is everything.
Ok getting off my soapbox now.

letter to the washington post
Re: Time's on his side.
So Vincent J Cannato writes that 'Today's pronouncements that Bush is the "worst president ever" are too often ideology masquerading as history.'
Really? let's consider a few pronouncements that Mr. Cannato somehow conveniently forgets to mention. How about 'Bring 'em On!', Mission Accomplished', 'Stay the Course', and your own newspaper's reporting of the Iraq elections- 'Yesterday, the White House heralded the election and credited the U.S. role. In a statement, President Bush praised Iraqis "for defying terrorist threats and setting their country on the path of democracy and freedom. And I congratulate every candidate who stood for election and those who will take office once the results are certified."
History hasn't had to wait too long to pass universal judgment on these pronouncements. Perhaps Mr. Cannato should travel to Baghdad and ask the families of all those dead Iraqi citizens how they think Bush will be remembered by history, and just how much time they think he has on his side.
Oh, and one more thing, Mr. Cannato. I doubt Tax cuts for the rich will be regarded by historians as a domestic success. The ever-growing economic divide in this country between its wealthiest and poorest citizens shows that statement up quite sufficiently.

Soft Rock And A Summer's Night: Jason Mraz At The Comcast Center
Touring in support of his latest album Love Is a Four Letter Word, Jason Mraz, backed by his band will come to the Comcast Center on September 9th. Mraz's blend of smooth vocals, poppy melodies and acoustic guitar have been pleasing the public since his first major label release back in 2002, Waiting for My Rocket to Come. The album spawned the minor hits "The Remedy (I Won't Worry)" and "You and I Both". With his next album, Mr. A-Z, he achieved larger success with it debuting at number 5 on the Billboard 200. He was also selected to open for the Rolling Stones for five dates during their 2005-2006 tour. His biggest success to date would come with the release of the 2008 record We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things. The album debuted at number three pushed by the ridiculously catchy "I'm Yours". The song (which if you want to be stuck in your head can be heard here) became Mraz's first top ten single peaking at number six. In 2009 the song was nominated for Song of the Year and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance at the Grammy's.
His new record, Love is a Four Letter Word, still features Mraz's gentle voice but with more of a variety of instrumentation. The songs seem more polished than ever and can easily careen into background music. Although the standout moments almost make it worth listening to the songs in between. "The Woman I Love" is a good feeling ode to, well love and the reasons why we stay with our respective partners but I can't help but hear the Velveeta coming through with some of Mraz's lyrics. Vocally, his voice is as smooth as eggs but, he rarely stretches it out. It's only on "I Won't Give Up" that towards the end he belts out the chorus and it feels good. He's still got an island jazz feel, especially on tracks "5/6" and "Be Honest", so laid back your practically falling into the hammock. The uptempo "Frank D. Fixer" featuring G. Love on Harmonica, is fun but lyrically borderlines Children's music. Perhaps the most memorable track is "Everything Is Sound" with a great sing along chorus is an uplifting song that possesses all the qualities you expect from Mraz, a blend of Jimmy Buffett and James Taylor. Overall, the record has an uplifting, breezy, feel good vibe that shows solid musicianship and crafty songwriting, perfect for a nice summer night.
Christina Perri is the opening act for this tour and tickets can be found right there ————> Get Tickets!

As dutiful bloggers we have one major responsibility in this world, and that's to write a "what's in my bag" post. We just have to, it's blog law.
So it is with great pleasure and heavy eye rolling I bring you a post devoted to the mysterious contents of the inside of my bag. I'd also like to note here that Chris hates my purse, he calls it the blackhole. Whenever I need something from it (most of the time it's my keys) it takes me at least 45 minutes to find them. I have to get out a shovel and put on goggles because digging through this bag is like going to hell and back. I never know what I'm going to encounter.
I was surprised to see today when I dumped it out it's actually quite clean! No lip gloss containers that look like they've been hanging out at the beach without my knowledge. No gum covered in hair. No super glue. It's really pretty decent. Take a look for yourself.
Let's start at the top left corner.
1. Strange silver key chain thing.
I have no idea what this is or why it's in my purse.
2. Pink planner that I carry around but never use.
There's a good chance this is a 2013-2014 calendar.
3. Grey gloves.
Is winter really over? IS IT?
4. Scary old makeup that is basically empty, but if I scrape it just right I can get the perfect amount of goopy cover-up (most likely from the early 90s) to cover a blemish or two.
5. New makeup that isn't as good as it's ancient cousin so I just carry it as a back up.
6. Earbuds. Obviously.
Can't risk actually having to talk to a person while I'm out and about.
7. Receipts.
I get anxiety about tossing any.
8. Ventra card.
It's how I pay my (bus) driver. Public transportation for the win!
9. Edward Jones pen from Topeka, Kansas.
Keeps me grounded.
10. One stray penny.
In case I see a wishing well.
11. Silver business card holder that is my everything holder because I can't handle an actual wallet.
Shoutout to Tyeler's mom for giving the best college graduation gift!
Let's move back up to the top because I'm getting lost. Are you guys still with me? Good.
12. Cork screw!
I can't tell you how many times this has come in handy. You never know when you're going to need to open a bottle of wine.
13. Small white hook.
I can't tell you how many times this has come in handy. You never know when you're going to need a small white hook.
14. Gum wrapper.
I haven't chewed gum in ages.
15. One dollar bill.
Always gotta keep cash on you, you know?
16. Mascara, pepper stray, exfoliator stolen from a hotel I thought was lotion but learned the hard way was definitely not.
I'm a modern woman but I'm also aware I have to always be aware...
17. Nail polish, hand cleaner spray, more stolen hotel lotion, 100 hair ties, a severely broken hair clip, and a pack of sample perfume I took from my mom because I thought it was candy.
A metaphor for my life pretty much.
18. And in the top right corner we have "jokes" written on the back of stray paper. I have folded up joke notes like this everywhere. Never know if one of them contains that golden nugget of an idea.
And that's my life in a bag- a little bit messy, very much random, and most of it unnecessary. Sounds about right.
What's your bag life look like?

Mega ThunderBow Blaster Review
|Product Name:
|Mega ThunderBow Blaster
|Mega Dart
|100 feet
|Ammo Capacity:
|Batteries Req.?:
About the Mega ThunderBow Blaster
The Nerf Mega ThunderBow Blaster is the first Nerf bow on the Mega line of Blasters. You load 5 Mega Darts into the front slots of the gun, and the Blaster will fire one dart at a top, starting at the top and working down the slots.
The Mega ThunderBow Blaster has no Tactical Rails for attachments, and is a very big Nerf toy compared to other products.
The way the firing mechanism works is you pull back on bow string, which brings the arms of the bow back until an internal lever is primed. There's an indicator on the back of the ThunderBow that will display as green when it's ready to fire!
At that point, you can slowly or quickly release the string to fire the Mega Dart. How you release the string won't affect how far or accurate the Mega Dart fires.
This Nerf Bow Blaster comes with 10 Mega Darts, though the ThunderBow only holds 5 darts at once. The Mega Darts have screaming whistler tips which sound awesome when soaring through the air. You can pick up back-up Mega Darts to keep the fun going longer.
The Mega ThunderBow Blaster has a whopping 100 foot range, making it one of the most powerful Nerf Blasters available. There's no need to worry about jams with the design of this Bow, though if you don't pack the darts in properly they won't go as far.
What's in the Box?
The Nerf Mega ThunderBow Blaster comes with the following components –
- Mega ThunderBow Blaster
- 10 Mega Darts
- Instructions
There's no serious assembly acquired with this Nerf toy.
Who is this Nerf Gun Good For?
The Mega ThunderBow Blaster is an awesome Nerf gun for those seeking a powerful Blaster without needing a motor. It's also the only Mega Bow currently available, so if you're a fan of Bow Blasters and wanted to delve into the Mega line of products, this is perfect for you!
One thing to keep in mind with this bow is how large it is. You won't be able to sneak around as easily or hide in tight spaces with this bow.
What People are Saying About the Mega ThunderBow Blaster
Here's what Nerf enthusiasts are saying in reviews of the Mega ThunderBow –
"A little on the large size, this bow is fun to use and satisfying to fire. There's no need to actually let go of the bowstring, you can just release the draw slightly and it will fire the dart."
"This thing is way too cool. Much bigger than I expected it to be, but this thing shoots really far and fast. The only downside is that the darts don't shoot very consistently."
"My son is 7 and LOVES the nerf mega thunderbow blaster. I think it looks a touch big, (he is a small 7) but he has a blast with it. I am so glad he is enjoying it as much as he does. The missiles go really far"
The Nerf Mega ThunderBow Blaster comes highly recommended as a very powerful and satisfying Nerf bow to own and operate. If you can only have one bow in your Nerf arsenal, be sure to go with the ThunderBow!

Photographer's Note
The Palazzo Brera owes its name to the Germanic braida, indicating a grassy opening in the city structure: compare the Bra of Verona. The convent on the site passed to the Jesuits (1572), then underwent a radical rebuilding by Francesco Maria Richini (162728). When the Jesuits were disbanded in 1773, the palazzo remained the seat of the astronomical Observatory and the Braidense National Library founded by the Jesuits. In 1774 were added the herbarium of the new botanical garden. The buildings were extended to designs by Giuseppe Piermarini, who was appointed professor in the Academy when it was formally founded in 1776, with Giuseppe Parini as dean. Piermarini taught at the Academy for 20 years, while he was controller of the city's urbanistic projects, like the public gardens (17871788) and piazza Fontana, (17801782).
Today the Palace houses the Pinacoteca di Brera ("Brera Art Gallery"), which is the main public gallery for paintings in Milan, Italy. It contains one of the foremost collections of Italian paintings, an outgrowth of the cultural program of the Brera Academy, which shares the site with it.

Ciao Stephen
Brera e Milano, i loro nomi sono legati nella mente degli italiani.
Ottimo scatto, una bella presentazione, molto naturale, con la presenza di auto e pedoni, la facciata è rallegrata dai colori delle bandiere ed è in bella mostra il cartellone su Bellini.
dkmurphys (69793) 2014-06-03 0:38
Hi Stephen,
Very fine capture with the atmosphere in front of that palace. I like the architecture.
Enjoy a fine day.
trevormoffiet (3112) 2014-06-03 2:50
Hi Stephen,
A good capture and presentation of this historic architecture. It is amazing how these old buildings stand up well against the passing of time. Good clarity and interesting modern detail included.
Tigerlily (3379) 2014-06-03 2:59
Hi Stephen,
Beautifully taken image, nice light control.
Have a nice day!:-)
timecapturer (49288) 2014-06-03 4:35
Hi Stephen
Italy has so many beautiful buildings all steeped in historical fascination and this one looks magnificent. A perfect setting too for a gallery. Like the diagonal perspective and exquisite detailing here.

Bonjuor Stephen,
Ils savaient comment construire des palais ces Italiens. J'en ai visité quelques uns à Rome et ils étaient fantastiques. J'aime bien l'angle en diagonale utilisé.
Sonata11 (34009) 2014-06-03 7:20
Hello Stephen,
wonderful composition of architecture and great perspective. Colors, sharpness, clarity of details are fantastic. I love it. Best regards, Barbara

Bravo et amitié
SnapRJW (31629) 2014-06-03 8:35
The collections of art in Italy is awe inspiring Stephen and here we see another large gallery which no doubt holds a treasure trove of delights. I like the inclusion of the more modest collection displayed next to the wall of this imposing building! More my price range.
Warm regards
No_One (4) 2014-06-03 11:06
Hi Stephen,
An impressive building, and now being put to public use as a gallery, which is always heartening to see! I imagine this is a very impressive structure in the city, it certainly carries itself like a very opulent palace. A nice view on it too to take in so much of its lengthy façade
best wishes
Silvio1953 (162240) 2014-06-03 12:58
Ciao Stephen, great view of beautiful palace, excellent perspective, splendid light and wonderful colors, very well done, my friend, ciao Silvio
pierrefonds (76285) 2014-06-03 15:11
Bonsoir Stephen,
La ligne diagonale du trottoir donne de la profondeur à la scène. La présence des gens a un effet d'échelle de grandeur. La prise de vue permet de voir les détails et les couleurs de l'architecture de l'immeuble. La lumière a un bel effet sur les couleurs de l'image. Bonne soirée.

Salesdialers.com Cory Prado Salesdialers.com Gary Prado Cory Prado Are Scam Artists Savannah, Georgia
*UPDATE Employee: Servicing customers and honoring our A-rating with the BBB.
Just like the other complaints listed they promised me a refund and then refused too actually issue the refund. We ran into the same issue others have where the software did not function correctly and they blamed it on lack of training. Also, the email system does not work (we tried 4 different smtp service providers). When I brought this to Cory's attention he told me to "f*** off" and hung up the telephone on me. Awesome customer service Gary Prado, Cory Prado, and salesdialers.com.
In looking salesdialers.com up on ripoff report and seeing the smear campaigns they utilize to defame and slander their own customers if you file a complaint, I felt it necessary to let everyone know how bad their customer service really is. Gary Prado is a licensed insurance agent. I doubt very highly that if his insurance agency received a complaint that Gary would handle it in the same manner he handles complaints for salesdialer.com.
In closing, yes Cory Prado and Gary Prado you got over on us for $2700.00. I hope you can sleep good at night conducting business in this fashion. I know they are going to rebuttal this post and out of fear of using the confidential information I provided them to start a smear campaign against me personally, I will not respond. Beware of this company and any inforamtion you provide to them.
P.S. We switched to the (((competitor's name redacted))), have had no issues and great customer support.
sorry, allowing you to give a competitors name would instigate others to just file against their competition, to only come back later to suggest their company, ..plus, if you post a competitors name more than likely they will show up on search engines as a Rip-off! - - your comments on this policy are welcome. CLICK here to see why Rip-off Report, as a matter of policy, deleted either a phone number, link or e-mail address from this Report. In this case we removed an alleged competitors name
