|About Me:
I love to write or say things that make people laugh! If people don't guess my age; I tell them it's the laughing that keeps me vibrant! I see a lot of girls/women much younger than I am who make me think the words, "bitter, angry, hag, and battle-axe!" I can guarantee you that these females don't have any laugh lines marring their looks! But some of them do have perfect make-up on - how lovely! I like people who are approachable and who have warmth just coming out of their pores! Make-up definitely enhances your face but it's what's inside that reflects on your face every single day! Nothing keeps you young like laughing! Laugh lines are great - a friend once told me that the laugh lines coming from my eyes are like rays of sunshine! How cool was that? I try to remember that when other areas start to wrinkle - it just means that the sun is setting lower these days. I also love to take photos of interesting things; not so jazzed about people; I love textures - I like to take photos of things that are not perfect! Of course ZITS are not perfect but I don't care much for them so they don't ever see my camera lense. My dream is for somebody to want to buy one of my photos or have me write a column in the paper. What I'd die happy for is if I could ever be a guest on the Ellen Degenerus Show! What would I do if I was on her show...I'd have the best and funniest laugh fest of my life! Laughing is my favorite thing in the entire world I think. I know it's great for your skin and your lungs and who doesn't have a happy day after somebody has you bent in half with laughter! I also love to decorate! I constantly see and think of 'ideas' for making a room look even cuter than it did yesterday! Almost every weekend I say to my husband...."I have an idea!" He aways needs to have about 14 cups of coffee before he has the stamina to hear one of my latest ideas! My husband thinks I have a addictive behavior because I love to buy decorative pillows! I constantly buy cute pillows to enhance a room with! You just gotta love pillows! I think we have at least 40 pillows at the house! But I rotate these adorable pillows all over the house so they do get utilized and everywhere new that I put them just cutes the hell out of that room on that day! My husband never knows what he will find when he comes home from work at night because most days I have completely re-arranged a room! He says it's kind of crazy and I say it's KIND OF FUN! I'm all about fun! I will go from room to room sometimes admiring all the adorable touches I have everywhere! I met my husband in 2004 and he liked me best without make-up! This is a good man! I think I'll go out and put a cute little pillow on his Harley right now!

|My Beauty Secret:
Best beauty tip is always put something wonderful on your face and neck every morning and every night and don't go to bed with makeup on! Another FANTASTIC tip: When you wash OFF your makeup at night and lean down into the sink to get some nice cool water on your skin; does some of your hair fall forward and get soaking wet? When you are putting your make-up ON in the morning and you have a towel or again a spandex headband holding your hair back ' sometimes do those stray hairs pop out and glob on to your perfectly applied foundation? I found THE greatest contraption/gismo/ on QVC to put an end to all these problems. One day I was watching QVC and one of their dandy infomercials was playing and they showed a woman putting on this towel type thing-a-ma-gig that she had designed and was selling to hold your hair back. Well, I couldn't tell the TV screen loud enough how totally STUPID STUPID STUPID I thought her invention was! Totally idiotic idea! I think I even used the word 'Lame!"Then weeks later as I was once again attempting to keep my hair out of my face as I was bent over like the hunchback of Notre Dam trying to wash my face in our teeny little sink; I remembered that STUPID QVC ad.So...yes, I actually SENT for the hair contraptions and....THEY ARE AWESOME!!! There are two of these little towel bands and you put the thing over your neck and put the front up to hold your hair back and put all the rest of your hair into the larger towel part in the back and your hair stays completely out of your face while washing, applying make-up or giving yourself a mask with the melted down black and grey crayons somebody told you makes a great mask! And...your hair doesn't get all smooshed and dented and ruined! When you are ready for your reveal you just slide the hair wrap back and out of your hair and in slow motion you shake your head back and forth like in the commercials and your stunning hair of the day is revealed once again to be absolutely breath-taking without a single dent AND IT'S NOT FLAT!My boyfriend thinks I look like Hilda from the old country when I have this thing on and he is usually bent over in laughter or maybe it's the dry heaves; but this thing is the bomb ' who cares how I look! My girlfriend works on skin all day long at a salon and I showed it to her and she just snatched that sucker right up and took it home so I had to order more! My daughter who is the opposite of skin care queen ' more like the 'if your skin ain't broke ' don't fix it" mentality ' well I showed it to her and now she uses it every day for her cleansing routine with tar soap and now HER husband is holding HIS side with laughter pains when she walks out of the bathroom with this deal on.I'm telling you ' it's not beauty pageant material but it is FANTASTIC for holding your hair out of your face during any facial procedures! It's called the"Tassi Keep Your Hair Outta There Hair Wrap" They come 2 in a cute little box for $15.97. They have black and white, two shades of pink and green/blue combinations.This probably sounds like old lady talk to you...but tell me this...if I told you that every day I put over 800 leeches on my cheeks to get my skin this smooth at 60 ' I bet some of you would try it! LOL! So...I'm telling you ' try the Hair Outa There Hair Wrap while you are enjoying the nine-billion products reviewed on this site!
|My Routine:
I get up a 7:00 a.m., I drink a large glass of water and putz around for about an hour. (I am retired right now). Then I make myself something to eat at 8:00 a.m.. I need FUEL to get going! I used to drink coffee...I seldom do anymore. Then I putz around some more. ('Put-zing' covers things like washing dishes, chore starting and maybe feeding the birds. At 9:45 a.m. I make my husband coffee. At 10:30 a.m. I make my husband breakfast. (Now HE needs fuel) At 11:00...use your imagination for the rest of the hours. I will give you this hint...let's just say, after I get some of my chores done and after my husband heads off to work...that's when playtime comes in! It's a good thing we don't have a nanny cam! It's pretty much like a "Pink" Funhouse Video" at my house once I'm alone!
|My Horror Story:
When ever I was stressed out when I was younger I'd take it out on my hair or try to fix my hair. One day I had a huge argument with my husband and I had medium length brown hair with a curly perm in it (that was the style)at the time and my bangs were getting kind of straight. So I went to the drugstore and got me some teeny tiny itsy bitsy perm rods and solution and proceeded to perm my bangs! When I finished it looked like I had a nice tight brillow pad on my forehead! It was HORRIBLE! My daughter came home from school and said "MOM!!!! What did you do?" I sure showed my husband didn't I. He really paid for getting me into an argument. Stupid, stupid, stupid!Then there was 8th grade...I purchased myself a bottle of Liquid Make-up and proceeded to put it on my face and went to school. When I got home my dad! took me in front of the mirror and said..."I want you to see this!! I had purchased Noxema liquid foundation in dark DARK tan and I had put it on my face - stopping at my jawbone so you just have to know how idiotic I looked with those major demarcation lines comparing my lilly white skin on my neck to this dark tan makeup slathered on my face! I looked like a dark tan mime! If that wasn't bad enough - I had taken to taking eye brow pencil and drawing the ends of my eyebrows up - up towards my forehead! I looked SO stupid and this must have had something to do with why nobody ever wanted to be my friend.
|My Celebrity Look-a-like:
When I was younger and had natural dark brown hair everybody thought I looked like Kate Jackson of Charlie's Angels.
PROx hydra firming cream, age repair lotion & Olay regenerist micro-sculpting cream
It's Jeanasina UPDATE time! In (2008) I said with conviction that my #1 MUST have favorite product was Squaline by Dr. Lark. However, in the last year I have tried MANY other new products both from our benefactor Marvelous Meg and on my own and have made some wonderful NEW discoveries! I have three new favorite products which which work together that have really proven to be DOING SOMETHING MARVELOUS to my face! I have to say that I think my skin looks better today than it did in the last couple of years and isn't that exactly what we like to see! Old lady cartwheels are happening around my house for sure! So I'm here to say that my TOP favorite products are.....drum roll please... Olay products! I started using the Olay PROx age repair lotion in the morning and the PROx hydra firming cream at night and I top both of these products off (both morning and night)with Olay regenerist micro sculpting cream and in all honesty these are giving me the best results! I stopped using them for awhile and used the Ole Hendrickson 3 combo products which gave me strong results (almost comparable) but I found I liked the combination of these 3 Olay products even more! When I stopped using these three together to try Ole's and products I have tested I did notice a difference in my skin tone with Olay for my face! I think together they help with the issue of sagging skin as well as pore size and overall softness and I think my skin has improved greatly because of them! The only thing in the ProX line that I don't think does anything at all is the deep wrinkle treatment. I have been using it on the wrinkles around my mouth and they are still there (##@#@!!) sigh.
8/2011...Last thing about Olay ProX and me…I have been using their line for quite a while now and on a whim a few months back, I switched to using the Aveeno Ageless Vitality line. Within a month I looked OLDER and my skin went down hill big time. I couldn't figure out why and then it hit me that I had switched products! I went back to my former regimen using the Olay ProX line and my skin once again improved dramatically! I think Olay rocks!
Aquaphor is the end all to chapped, irritated, bone-dry lips and other skin areas of concern! I am the queen of researching fragmented lips (meaning chapped lips that look atrocious, bloody or gnawed on). I have used Burts Bees (really really recommend it) not the honey flavor though - nobody seems to like the honey flavor. I'm making a face just thinking about it. I digress, of all the millions of tubes of lip helpers I have tried over the years - I'm a candidate for the Guiness World Book of Records for most lip treatments ever used and sucked dry...so...as my story continues back in the day when I was riding around in a covered wagon - one of the cowhands gave me a vial of Aquaphor to put on my fragmented lips and immediately I was experiencing relief!!!! Succulent relief!Back to the future where I am currently I still rely the MOST on Aquaphor! You can get it in all kinds of sizes - tiny little vial size for your purse or pocket or the mother-load industrial sized container which holds enough to slather your entire body! If you did slather your entire body with this stuff - it would be SOFT! I'm telling you - try it! If you have a cold and your nose is raw and unrecognizeable - put some Aquaphor on it and feel at peace. I have recommended this to so many people and all of them come back to me and say they love it and wouldn't be without it again! You can use it for a multitude of things but if you had to carry one most treasured vial of instant help on your person - you better believe you'd duct tape some Aquaphor to your thigh! It's sort of like vaseline but better! It says right on the tube "restores healthy skin" that's a fact!Look it up on Drugstore.com and check out the testimonials...I'm not alone in my recommendations of this!
Lubriderm Advanced Therapy Lotion
Nothing is worse to me than having bone dry skin. Nobody likes to touch bone dry skin. The worst thing is when somebody reaches out to touch you and comes back with a cut on their hand from your bone dry skin. LOL! As I age, my skin has become even drier than ever, so I had to change my choice in body lotion. It's 2011 and I have gone through every NEW and improved lotion that hit the shelves in 2010. My CURRENT absolute favorite is Vaseline Cocoa Butter deep conditioning body lotion with Cocoa butter & vitamin E! It's got a really nice texture; it glides easily into your skin; the fragrance is just enough to make you feel nice but not so much that it hangs on to your body for the remainder of the day and best of all it keeps me soft!

We've owned Casa Canyella since 2003, and have always enjoyed holidaying in Spain.
We first visited this area some 30 years ago and were impressed by it's delightful coves and beaches. It has never been over-developed.
When you've spent all year working on television programmes and films it's an ideal getaway - a place to come and unwind.
Ian & Carol Weston purchased this villa in 2003
Traditional quaint Spanish villa, loads of outside space combined with spectacular views, fabulous pool, and only 5 minutes by car from the beach...
Click on the 'Owner's Website' for more pictures and information at the bottom of the page to see why...
Casa Canyella has fabulous views of the Mediterranean and onwards to Palamos as well as overlooking Calonge and the neighbouring valley.
Geckos an be seen basking on the terrace under the mid-day sun (although they're very nervous and soon disappear when people are around).
The front balcony completes the 360 degree vista and is great for the setting sun at the end of the day.
Casa Canyella provides an excellent standard of accommodation together with air-conditioning, satellite and internet UK TV and a local representative for the benefit of our guests.
We have many guests return year after year - Casa Canyella has everything you need for a chilled out relaxing holiday.

WiFi is also provided free throughout Platja d'Aro and in most restaurants and bars.
Website: The property has it's own website, with more pictures and information at: costa-brava-villa.co.uk.
As soon as you walk into Casa Canyella you realise this is no ordinary holiday let, but a cosy family home. Immaculately clean, comfy beds and soft fluffy towels. Everything you need in the kitchen to cook and plenty of space indoors and outdoors to sit for a relaxing meal. Amazing views surrounding the villa and a lovely big pool. Communication with Ian, the owner, couldn't have been better. He was very quick to answer any questions and was a great help to us. It was a wonderful place to stay in and we were sad to leave it. We hope to visit it
The villa is fully equipped and is beautifully located near all the must sees in the area. The swimming pool and BBQ makes it complete.
The road leading up towards the villa needs a renovation but thats obvious nothing the owner can do anything about.
Overal a perfect vacation home and highly recommended.
we were 4 adults and 3 kids. worked perfekt. The house has it all. didnt miss a thing. One of our best relaxing vaccations ever. we all loved the pool and the barbecue. 2 weeks wasnt enuff to explore the area and the nearby towns.. feels like we must pay this villa another visit.
Colonge is well situated close to coastal villages but away from the crowds. The villa was ideal for our party of 3 couples with 3 full bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, large living/dining room and fully equipped kitchen. Well decorated. Outside seating on 3 sides to follow (or avoid) the sun. Doors on two sides to allow cross ventilation. Great view of the Mediterranean. Pool freshly renovated and maintained by next door neighbour (but too cool in June for swimming). Lots of helpful information available. Local agents (Jan and Peter) always available and another great source of local information. Booking was easy and Ian responded quickly to all emails plus their website was very helpful.
Very nice attractive villa with great views. Well-maintained and clean throughout with a good sized pool. Lots of attractive beaches and towns within short driving distance. Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a comfortable well equiped villa in a quiet setting. Car hire essential due to location.
If you want to stay in a place where you can really relax and feel like you are a part of spanish people- you should travel to Casa Canyella. The surrounding is peaceful and local, the view to the bay is just something I could look at all day and especially at night. People are nice and helpful at Calonge, it's a small village but absolutely a place worth seeing.
Casa Canyella is a lovely villa and the owners have made a lot of work so that we visitors can just enjoy our stay! The Villa is big enough for six persons to feel like everyone has their own space. There is everything you need on a holiday- you can barbeque or make food indoors, if it's raining (it does that sometimes also in summer) you can listen to the music or just look at the seaside and the wonderful sunsets!
We did enjoy our stay at Casa Canyella, we hope you do that too !!!
Situated at the head of a quiet cul-de-sac on a small urbanisation at the very heart of the Costa Brava, the villa is a 5 min drive from our local blue-flag beach at St. Antoni, and two minutes from the medieval village of Calonge. Calonge is well known for it's Castle, weekly market (Thursday) and classical musical festivals throughout the summer. It also has a permanent exhibition of paintings and handicrafts. There is a well-stocked supermarket within walking distance.
Sant. Antoni de Calonge, with it's long white sandy beach, has many good restaurants & shops. There are several excellent restaurants within walking distance of the Villa.
The seaside towns of Platja d'Aro and San Feliu de Guixols have a lively night-life. You can even hire a segway to ride along Platja d'Aro seafront.
The drive to Tossa del Mar is simply stunning and the Salvador Dali museum at Figueres has to be seen at least once.
The villa is well served by Girona Airport (30 min), Barcelona Airport (60 min) and Reus Airport. Ryanair, Jet 2 and Easy-Jet all have year-round regular flights.
Other Activities: There are many local festivals including many international Jazz festivals, Seafood - 'Gamba de Palamos' and Sant Feliu de Guixol's 'Blue-Fish' festival etc.
Casa Canyella is a brilliant villa with hilltop location, superb views,close to the sea, shops and night-life and yet you can swim in your own pool and be be totally private, chilled out and away from it all.

An emotional Shirley Carter realises that it may be time to leave Walford in EastEnders tonight (September 6).
Following a night sleeping rough outside the Minute Mart, Shirley (Linda Henry) is brought back to the B&B by caring Denise Fox, who is keen to help her as much as she can.
Denise's plan has a flaw, however, as Jay is also still staying at the B&B - and tensions explode as Shirley comes face-to-face with him again.
When Jay tries to apologise for everything, a furious Shirley forces him up against the wall and declares that he hasn't been punished enough for helping to cover up the truth about Heather's murder.
Denise (Diane Parish) is shocked by the extent of Shirley's anger, and soon suggests that she should consider a fresh start elsewhere - away from the painful memories.
Just as Shirley agrees, there's a further twist as her daughter Carly returns…
EastEnders airs tonight at 7.30pm on BBC One.

Details of Cinderella and the Ticket Luck value
Originally presented as a television extravaganza, Cinderella the Musical is an innovative and fresh adaptation of the classic, well-loved fairytale and Bristol Old Vic Theatre.
Cinderella, the musical, follows the format of the fairytale that has been refashioned and set to music by two great masters of the musical. Incorporating well-chosen modern touches, the musical also preserves the dream-like and timeliness quality of the story.
With a more human quality, the characters are given depth; it is the only Cinderella's innocent faith in a miracle that turns her dream to go to the ballroom into reality.
The performance begins in Cinderella's house where the herald announces in the city square and invites everyone for the Royal Ball being posted through the letterbox.
Among them are Joy and Portia, their Mother, and their stepsister Cinderella, who is laden with all the parcels they are taking home from a shopping expedition. This is met with great excitement by Kate Graham, Cinderella's stepmother as well as Portia and Joy.
Once home, they bully and order Cinderella about, and she does all the jobs uncomplainingly until at last they go up to bed. She then sits quietly in he favorite chair by the fire singing 'In my Own Little Corner', a simple yet effective song.
Seeing her overdressed stepmother and stepsisters off to the ball, Cinderella daydreams in her little corner. In the meantime her Godmother comes by and listens impatiently to her fantasies about a pumpkin coach and other trimmings that would take her to the ball.
When Cinderella's wishing power becomes irresistible, God mother gives in and the great magical transformation takes place. The King and Queen, in other scene, are shown arguing about the ball which she has ordered for the Prince's 21st birthday.
The King asks his son the Prince whether he gets an affirmative answer but he is not looking forward much to all the would-be-Princess in the hall.
The Prince is bored with a succession of girls which the footmen present to him and dance with. The radiant Cinderella arrives at 11:30, everyone stops dancing when she makes her entrance in the Ball.
The story then follows the traditional pattern with Cindy falling in love wit the prince, leaving at midnight without her slipper. Then we see the stepsister's lament, though naturally they do not recognize their stepsister.
The Prince declares his love for Cinderella, but their tender scene is interrupted by the clock chiming midnight. While escaping from the palace, Cinderella left her glass slipper as she goes.
In the next act, Cinderella is shown serving breakfast to her Step mother, Joy and Portia. Having heard their reports of the ball, she pretends to imagine what it might be like going there. On the contrary, the Prince is determined to find the owner of the slipper.
Despite his mother's warning that a girl the Prince only met for a few minutes may not be the one he should spend the rest of his life with. The Herald tries many feet in the city square, but Cinderella is not in her house at all. Her stepmother and stepsisters have each tried in vain to make the slippers fit them.
Cinderella is in the Palace garden and is found by the Prince, who is dejected at the lack of success in the quest. He throws the slipper away in the bushes where happily the Godmother catches it and replaces it on the bench next to the Prince.
It reminds the Prince that should try it on Cinderella who it fits well. The Show ends with a resplendent wedding with the message that 'Impossible things are Happening Everyday'.
Despite of the fact that the story largely remains the same, there are many successful additions within this. Cinderella's godmother character appears as a very glamorous figure in a tailored suit whose wand is substituted for a magical red umbrella.
Cinderella's two ugly sisters are shown comically grotesque and pitiful in their unattractiveness. As for the staging, it is extremely effective, using a revolving stage in order to show Cinderella's house and the palace back to back.
It is an awe-inspiring fusion of music and action with beautiful staging creates a magical feel, leaving you warm inside.
Watch exuberant performances that will take you to the highest level of ecstasy, making you feel like part of the musical. Costumes are modernized yet noticeable in the Royal ball gowns.
Grabbing the attention of everyone attending the party, Cinderella appears wearing a stunning traditional red dress. Come and buy your ticket to this perfect Christmas show that appeals to both children and adults alike!
The ages-old tale of Cinderella has lost none of its verve and charm. Its new theatrical adaptation has showcased wondrous performances amid brilliant choreography. Cinderella is adapted from the French fairytale Cendrillon, ou la Petite Pentoufle de Vair by Charles Perrault.
The orphan Cinderella has been taken into the care of her evil stepmother, who leaves no stone unturned in her efforts to make her life miserable. When an invitation to the royal ball arrives, the miserable oppressed girl is left behind at the expense of the gloating stepsisters, but a Fairy Godmother appears, providing her a ravishing dress and glass slippers. She arrives at the ball and amazingly ends up dancing with the star-struck Prince. In their merriment, Cinderella forgets the midnight time-limit given by the Fairy Godmother for the magic to wear off, and flees in haste, leaving a heartbroken Prince and one glass slipper behind.
Cinderella has music by composer par excellence Richard Rodgers, who is the first to win an Oscar, Tony, Emmy and Grammy. Eight-time Tony winner Oscar Hammerstein II provided lyrics and book. Robert Johanson directed Cinderella, which appeared in London in 1958 and on Broadway 3 years later.
Three film/TV versions (1957, 1965, and 1997) have also seen great success. The latest has an Emmy and Art Directors Guild Award. Cinderella's place in folklore has been cemented by great acting of stars like Eartha Kitt and Sally Howes.
The heartwarming musical touches the right chords and fans are queuing up for Cinderella tickets.

Apple iPhone 6 Rumors: Release Date
This is the one that investors will be watching eagerly. Apple's iPhone sales have begun to drop in the months preceding an expected fall release of a new model. This slowdown can wreak havoc on AAPL.
The Apple iPhone 6 rumors have been all over the map on this one. Some people see Apple switching back to a summer release this year to minimize the number of customers lost to the new Galaxy S5 and to minimize the volatility in iPhone sales during the waiting period. They're looking for the iPhone 6 in June.
Others are predicting Apple will opt for a split release, unveiling a phablet-sized iPhone 6 in June and waiting until September for the smaller (but still larger than iPhone 5s) version.
The safe bet is a continuation of the fall release date Apple's been following the past few years, but if Tim Cook is feeling shareholder pressure to shake things up and prevent APPL from taking a hit from sagging iPhone demand over the summer, then a June release is a distinct possibility.
As of this writing, Brad Moon did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

PLANS for Caffe Caruso to relocate to the former Waysiders shop on Horsemarket Street will be discussed on Wednesday.
The move has been recommended for approval for the development control committee after the Warrington Guardian revealed earlier this month one of the town's oldest family-run stores is preparing to close its doors at the end of April.
The application states the shop front will not change apart from signs and the owner of Caffe Caruso is keen to move as its current home on Bank Street will eventually be knocked down as part of the Bridge Street regeneration scheme.

Raageshwari Loomba who is 36 years old tied the knot with a London based barrister Sudhanshu Swaroop.
The marriage took place at a five star hotel in Parel. The bride wore a sari designed by Neeta Lulla and was looking simply gorgeous.
A friend of the actress-singer said, "Raageshwari is very happy and looking forward to living in London though initially she was apprehensive of shifting base."
Raageshwari was spotted by filmmaker Shekhar Kapur and auditioned for a lead role opposite Bobby Deol when she was just 13 years old. However, she didn't get the part and made her debut in David Dhawan's Aankhen (1993). Later, she forayed into television, as a VJ for a popular countdown show.

Constantinople (Mar. 17)
In connection with the rumored religious reforms of the Turkish Government, particularly with reference to the abolishment of the office of the Hakam Bashi (Grand R???bbinate) and the Jewish religious autonomy, the correspondent of the J.T.A. in Angora sought an interview with the present Hakam Bashi, Chaim Bejarano Effendi. The Hakam Bashi declared that since the Angora Government intends to give free access, to all nationalities and religions, to all Turkish schools and institutions, the non-Turkish religious national institutions were now unnecessary. This is the official opinion of the Hakam Bashi; whether this is also the opinion of the majority of the Jews is yet to be established.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Acuity Pharmaceuticals, a product-focused ophthalmic pharmaceutical company, today announced that it will present at the Rodman & Renshaw Techvest 7th Annual Healthcare Conference at the New York Palace Hotel in New York City on Tuesday, November 8, 2005 at 4:55pm EST in the Adams Room.
Acuity CEO and president Dr. Dale Pfost will provide an overview of the company and discuss recent corporate developments, including Acuity's initiation of phase ll clinical trials for its lead compound Cand5 in age-related macular degeneration. Cand5 is the first therapy based on the exciting new gene silencing technology of RNA interference (RNAi) to enter human trials and now to progress to phase ll studies. Its unique mechanism of action has the potential to deliver efficacy, safety and administration benefits compared to other approaches.
About Acuity
Founded in 2002, Acuity Pharmaceuiticals is a product-focused ophthalmic pharmaceutical company applying its proprietary technology to the treatment and prevention of ophthalmic diseases, focusing initially on leveraging its strong technology and intellectual property portfolio in the field of RNA interference (RNAi). Acuity is developing treatments for age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic retinopathy (DR), two of the leading causes of adult vision loss in the developed world. Its lead clinical compound Cand5, a small-interfering RNA (siRNA) therapeutic currently in Phase ll trials, shuts down vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which has been shown to be the central stimulus in the development of AMD and DR. In late 2004, Cand5 became the first-ever RNAi therapy to enter human trials. Its novel siRNA mechanism of action is expected to give Cand5 efficacy, safety and administration advantages over other therapies. For more information,visit www.acuitypharma.com

Crime & Punishment of Friday, 11 April 2014
Source: Graphic.com.gh
Cuban authorities are investigating three Ghanaian medical students for their alleged role in the robbery of a local in their country.
The three male students are on government scholarship in Cuba.
Earlier, Joy News had reported on Tuesday that some distress callers who blew the whistle on the issue had attributed the action of the three students to government defaulting in providing their monthly subventions.
The news report said the distress callers had stated that the situation, coupled with the rising cost of living in Cuba, was making their stay unbearable.
The Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, Mr Thomas Quartey, confirmed the arrest to the Daily Graphic yesterday.
He agreed that occasionally, monthly subventions from the government to such students delayed, but that was not a good reason for students pursuing such a noble profession to resort to robbery.
He explained that students on government scholarships definitely got support from their families, adding that even without that, robbery was unjustified under any circumstance.
Mr Quartey said they would do all they could to support the students but the government would not interfere with the investigations in Cuba.
When the Daily Graphic contacted the Public Relations Officer of the Ministry of Finance, Ms Cecilia Akwetey, she confirmed that the money for the scholarship had been released to the Government Scholarship Secretariat in January, 2014.
She noted that as far as the ministry was concerned, all subventions had been duely released.

The Delhi and District Cricket Association's (DDCA) complete absence at the annual Ranji Trophy captains' and coaches' conclave has annoyed BCCI president N Srinivasan so much that he has expressed his feelings in a letter to DDCA president Arun Jaitley.
Sources said that Srinivasan followed up the letter with an SMS, wondering what could be the compelling reasons that prevented the Delhi captain and coach to abstain from the conclave that he described as "the most important meeting". This conclave provides the biggest platform for all 27 captains/ coaches to air their views about domestic cricket, particularly Ranji Trophy. DDCA missed this opportunity and, as usual, its officials are now listing all kinds of reasons for the no-show at the March 5 meeting held in Mumbai.
The excuses stretch from bizarre to hilarious.
An official said that the team was in a " celebratory mood" after winning the Vijay Hazare Trophy in Visakhapatnam on March 3 and, therefore, the captain and coach could not make it to the meeting. Another was that they wanted to be with their families as soon as possible. Yet another excuse was that the captain ( Rajat Bhatia) and coach ( Vijay Dahiya) couldn't have reached Mumbai in time from Visakhapatnam, though the meeting was scheduled two days after the final.
But the one that beat all excuses was that there was a " communication gap" between the BCCI, the DDCA and the team. For the record, the BCCI had announced long ago that conclave would be held on February 28 and it also pays the air tickets etc. to the participants.
Not surprisingly, the proponents of these excuses declined to be quoted, " considering the way DDCA works", they pointed out.
When contacted, Srinivasan tried to play down the issue, though he didn't deny that he had sent a letter and SMS to the DDCA. When told that he has expressed his unhappiness in the letter and the SMS to Jaitley, he told Mail Today : " How you people think it's [ DDCA missing the meeting] interesting? Of course, I was present. It's the most important meeting." While acknowledging that the BCCI was upset at the turn of events, DDCA sports secretary Sunil Dev admitted that Delhi missed an opportunity. Dev himself has few ideas on the scheduling.
"All teams should travel equally. The Delhi team, for instance, had to travel more than Punjab and Himachal teams. Then, more white balls should be given for practice. At present, the BCCI gives only four white balls for the entire season," he said.

Early voting in the May runoff from the March primary begins Monday, May 19. If no candidate received 50 percent of the vote in the primary, the top two candidates face each other in the runoff.
Stonewall Democrats endorsed in the following runoff races:
- U.S. Senate: David M. Alameel
- Dallas County District Clerk: Felicia Pitre
- Dallas County Treasurer: Pauline Medrano
- State Rep. House District 105: Susan Motley
- State Board Of Education, District 13: Erika Beltran
- Justice Of The Peace, Pct. 4, Place 2: Katy Hubener
- Justice Of The Peace, Pct. 5, Place 1: Sara Martinez
- Constable, Precinct 5: Beth Villarreal
In the U.S. Senate race, David Alameel faces Keisha Rodgers. The Texas Democratic Party put out a warning on Rodgers because her main platform item is impeaching President Obama.
Despite a number of calls to the Alameel campaign and assurances from the campaign that he supports LGBT equality and would add it to his website, nothing on his website indicates any support for LGBT issues. When he ran for the U.S. House of Representatives, he didn't appear at the Stonewall Democrats candidate forum and didn't return a Dallas Voice questionnaire. Rep. Marc Veasey won that race. He also sent anyone to represent him at Stonewall endorsements earlier this year.
However, Alameel is scheduled to appear at Tuesday's Stonewall meeting. Other candidates expected to appear are Medrano, Beltran, Hubener, Martinez and Villareal.
Stonewall Democrats meeting takes place at Ojeda's, 4617 Maple Ave. on May 20 at 6:30 p.m.
Early voting takes place May 19–23, 7 a.m.–7 p.m.
There is no voting location in Oak Lawn. The Grauwyler Library on Gilford Street location is the closest. It was moved from Grauwyler Recreation Center. The library is located off Harry Hines Boulevard in the same park as the recreation center.

Twiddlin' my thumbs
I recently wrapped up the first draft of my latest WIP and put it aside for a couple of weeks before tackling the editing process and submitting it to a publisher who made a request for the full. I mentioned this to a colleague at work and he asked, "Now, what do you do? What next?"
Good question.
There is nothing sweeter to me than when I get to type "The End" to a manuscript that I have labored over for several months. Now, I'm a night writer so usually this occurs when the Main Man and the kiddos are fast asleep and since the Main Man usually can't go back to sleep once he's been woken up – I leave him alone and wait to tell him in the morning.
So, I do a little solitary happy dance in my writing cave and maybe have a little drinky-poo to toast my accomplishment and then I look at the clock and realize that I need to get up in a few hours for the day job and I hit the sack. Not exactly the red carpet, but we end up doing a little celebrating the next day as a family.
But, what about the following days when my fingers still feel the ghost-touch of the computer keyboard but I'm just not full recharged yet to tackle the next project?
Looking back, I realize that my "downtime" has evolved into a pattern of activity that revs up my creativity and lets me relax at the same time.
1. Catch up on my reading: I am a voracious reader and I find that I start digging in to my TBR pile with a fevered ferocity. I am also a fast reader and I can polish off two-four books per week between my reading the traditional way (you know, with my eyeballs) and having my Kindle read to me when I am in the car.
So far, I've polished off "Come Unto These Yellow Sands" by Josh Lanyon, "A Fountain Filled with Blood" by Julia Spencer Fleming, "Destiny's Bastard" by Hank Edwards and "Perfect Chemistry" by Simone Ellkelles.
I'll also read writing craft books during this time but lately it's been all pleasure reading.
2. Scrapbook: I love this hobby. I get to use my hands, get messy and immerse myself in the memories of my photographs. It gets my creativity a jumpstart since it locks into another part of my brain.
3. I watch movies and catch up on TV: I write at night after the kiddos are in bed so while I may DVR shows I don't always get to watch them right away. And movies? Well, with babysitters earning $10 per hour – it doesn't happen except for our monthly date night. So, I have Netflix and then I get to see the movies I vaguely remember being in theaters sometime in the last decade. A recent favorite? "Love and Other Drugs" with the yummy Jake Gyllenhall – naked. 'Nuff said.
4. Plot the next book: I let my mind start to work out the next book – slowly and organically. I may jot down random ideas, start to work out characters but I'm not actively writing yet. I find things and dump them into my Scrivener file, clip photos and such to inspiration wall in my writing cave (see right – I made the corkboard decoration – cute, right?) and generally let the story percolate.
So, that's what I do in an nutshell. What do you do in between book projects?

Kingston, Jan 23 (IANS/CMC) Flamboyant West Indies opener Chris Gayle made his first competitive appearance since picking up a hamstring injury during a tour of India last November.
Gayle took part in the first of two warm-up matches for Jamaica in preparation for next week's start of the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB)'s Super50 tournament in Trinidad and Tobago.
He returned from Australia last week where he underwent treatment and rehabilitation and was set to captain Jamaica against a Best of The Rest team at Sabina Park.

Staying just outside of a station's frequency picking up a lot of different frequencies and some morse codes recorded on the AM band. It's picked up with DXtuners.com's radio receiver (the days before they shut down, RIP), and recorded with SoundForge via the microphone input and played from a EMU 0404 USB soundcard at 16 bit 44KHz samplerate and converted to to OGG with OGGDROP.
Thanks for the sound again :D I used it in my Kerbal Space Program Machinima, Rendezvous: http://youtu.be/S1HE-QfASOo

Why We Appreciate Celebrity Women For Opening Up About Miscarriages
I was very sad to read over the weekend that Lily Allen had a miscarriage six months into her pregnancy. Apparently, she felt stomach pains on Thursday and was rushed to the hospital, but doctors were unable to save the baby. Her rep put out a short and sweet statement: "It is with great sadness that we have to confirm that Lily Allen and Sam Cooper have lost their baby. The couple ask that their privacy be respected and that they be left alone at this deeply distressing time."
We feel especially terrible for Lily because this is the second time she has miscarried. Two years ago, she and boyfriend Ed Simmons (of The Chemical Brothers) lost their baby, too. Lily had this to say about the experience:
It's pretty hard to talk about it, but that Christmas I was at home with my family and Ed, and I wasn't drinking, and I just sat there knowing I was having a baby and I was in absolute bliss. Sitting round eating turkey, playing games, watching everybody getting drunk, and being really excited knowing this time next year, I was going to have a baby. And I haven't. … I guess it wasn't to be. That's all I can say. … Maybe if I'd stayed pregnant and had the baby then things would have worked out between me and Ed. I don't know. You could drive yourself insane thinking about it. … I was really depressed because of the miscarriage and I'd kind of lost the plot a bit.
I think it is so brave and amazing for celebrities like Lily to open up about the pain of having a miscarriage. Recently, Mariah Carey said that it happened to her and Nick Cannon two years ago. "It kind of shook us both and took us into a place that was really dark and difficult," she said. "When that happened … I wasn't able to even talk to anybody about it. That was not easy."
Miscarriage isn't something we as a society talk a lot about, but the truth is that 10 to 20 percent of pregnancies end in miscarriage—which means this is an ordeal that a huge number of women go through. It is tough on the body physically and can have a huge impact psychologically—from depression to the deterioration of relationships because people cope differently. Many women who have miscarriages describe feeling incredibly isolated, which is why I appreciate women like Celine Dion, Guiliana Rancic of E! News, and even my own mom for talking about it. It won't flip a switch and make anyone's darkest hour suddenly OK, but it will help women see that they are not alone.

Cell-mediated Immune Response to Influenza Vaccine

Show Detailed Description
Influenza virus is an important cause of morbidity in the transplant population and can lead to viral and bacterial pneumonia. Although the annual influenza vaccine is recommended for organ transplant patients, studies have shown that the standard inactivated influenza vaccine has poor immunogenicity in this population. One major hurdle in the evaluation of the response of influenza vaccine in immunocompromised patients is the lack of correlation between humoral response and efficacy of the vaccine. In patients with poor immune responses, cellular immunity may have a better correlation than humoral immunity with vaccine protection. We plan to assess the utility of 3 assays that evaluate the cell-mediated immune response (granzyme B, interleukin-10 (IL-10), and interferon-gamma (IFN-)) after influenza vaccine in kidney transplant recipients. Results from this study have the potential to directly improve patient care. The new monitoring assays may more accurately determine the risk for development of influenza infection, and therefore allowing a better prevention strategy.

ST. JOHNS COUNTY, Fla. - St. Johns County investigators released a composite sketch Wednesday of a driver being sought in connection with a fatal hit-and-run crash that killed a bicyclist last week.
Bryan Wrigley, 23, of West Columbia, S.C., was struck and killed April 13 while riding a bike on County Road 214. Wrigley, who was a student at the University of St. Augustine, was found dead in a ditch on the side of the road.
Detectives are searching for a blue Ford pickup truck that they said hit Wrigley.
Deputies said evidence at the scene suggests that Wrigley was riding a bicycle west when he was hit by a westbound vehicle.
A resident in the area reported seeing a dark blue older-model Ford Ranger extended cab pickup truck "leaving the area in a reckless manner."
An analysis of evidence at the scene indicated the paint was from 2001-2003 Ranger with a dark blue metallic factory paint job.
Deputies said the suspect vehicle likely has significant front end-damage, including to a fog light. They said the truck had fog lights molded into the front bumper. They also said it is possible the vehicle was leaking fluids and may now be disabled.
The pickup, driven by a white man, possibly in his 20s, deputies said, was last seen going west on County Road 214.
Anyone with information about the crash, the driver or suspect vehicle is asked to call the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office at 904-824-8304 or Crime Stoppers at 888-277-TIPS (8477).

TEL AVIV (Jul. 25)
The Israel Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Zubin Mehta performed Tchaikowsky and Offenbach in an unlikely setting Friday before an audience unfamiliar with the works of European composers but appreciative nonetheless. The place was the open fence in the Israeli border village of Dovev and the listeners were several hundred south Lebanese–school children, border police, Christian Phalangists wearing side arms, Druze, Circassians, Israeli settlers and Lebanese farmers.
It was a holiday for the Lebanese and a propaganda victory for the Israelis through the universal language of music. Mehta, who visited the open fence a week earlier, decided that it would be an excellent spot for a concert. His 100-member orchestra arrived in buses from Tel Aviv with their instruments and sheet music. They set up in a clearing near the border, under a few trees that offered meager shade from the burning sun.
The Lebanese, who might have expected Oriental tunes and a belly dancer were intrigued by the violins, French horns and bass drums. The percussion instruments they have been used to for many months are machineguns and mortars.
Tzvi Baer, Israeli border police chief in what appeared to be a reference to the bitter fighting that had broken out between Egypt and Libya, said: "While somewhere the guns are roaring between two states that have defined themselves as sisters, we here produce wonderful sounds, the eternal tones of music to our neighbors."
Mehta expressed hope that someday "soon we shall perform in Cairo and the Egyptian national orchestra will perform in Tel Aviv." A Phalangist major presented the maestro with a Lebanese flag painted on cedar wood as a gesture of appreciation. He said his people may not have understood Tchaikowsky but they understand "the call for a brotherly alliance between you and us."
Reality intruded, however, when a wounded Lebanese soldier was carried through the fence opening for medical treatment at the border clinic. But for a while the tragedy of Lebanon's civil war had been forgotten.

The Betty White Name Game
After reading Betty White's recent interview in Parade Magazine, I've decided I want to live inside her head. She talked about how much she loves Cadillacs, and how she always names them after birds. Her current Caddy is named "Seagull"—her previous ones were named "Canary" and "Parakeet." Oh, and her dog is named "Pontiac." So cars are named after birds and dogs are named after cars. Just go with it, Betty! I wonder what else she names? [Parade]

Council seeks funds for sewer project
Seeking funding for the Second Avenue storm sewer project, the Mobridge City Council, Tuesday, Feb. 21, authorized Mayor Kyle Jensen to sign the application for a low interest loan.
Ted Dickey, from Northeast Council of Governments, presented funding options for a two-phase project that would extend the new storm sewer system from the railroad crossing on south Main Street to one block north of Grand Crossing on Second Avenue West. The extension would keep water from pooling between First and Second Avenue West and on West Grand Crossing at Second Avenue.
The cost of the project will be $764,000 with the funding coming from a low interest (3.75 percent) loan through the Department of Environment and Natural Resources. Dickey explained that the loan payments would be $51,000 annually. He said the payments would need to come from storm sewer assessments or from the waste water revenue. Since the storm sewer assessments generated would only cover half of the annul payment, those fees would need to be doubled to pay for the loan payments.
Jensen told Dickey the city had taken steps to have the necessary funds available to cover loan payments for storm sewer projects by enacting a storm sewer assessment last year. The funding for loan payments could be available without raising any other fees, he told the council.
The council agreed to seek funding for the project in order to get it secured before the South Dakota Department of Transportation completes the Highway 12, Grand Crossing and Highway 1804 project scheduled for 2012-2013.
The second phase of the project will continue the new line from the Second Avenue West site to Eighth Avenue on Fourth Avenue West.
E911 Center
Mobridge Police Chief Mike Nehls asked the council to approve an agreement between the Mobridge E911 Center and the Potter County Sheriff's Department for after hours and weekend phone answering services. The new agreement is for $13,974, due on March 1, forthe year that began on January 1, 2012.
Jensen questioned Nehls on the cost of the agreement, asking why it was half of what it was last year.
"Potter County did not want to pay the current fee because other counties that we provide services to don't pay the same fee," Nehls told the council. "I don't blame them for thinking it was not a fair agreement."
He said the E911 dispatchers handle traffic stop information and document request services to counties on nights and weekends when the other offices are closed. He said some sheriff's offices have after-hours numbers, but the dispatchers are still providing information requested by those county officers after hours.
Jensen asked Nehls why other counties are getting the same services as Potter County without paying for them.
"When I became chief here, I was told that was the agreement," he told the council. "I don't think it is our obligation to answer their phones after hours."
He said the E911 Board provided funding for the equipment in the center and funding for salaries of four dispatchers. There are currently seven dispatchers at the center. A new law that takes effect in 2013 will require two dispatchers to be on duty 24 hours a day in all centers. That means 10 dispatchers will be needed in Mobridge.
"The City of Mobridge will have to take a serious look at this when those changes are made," said Jensen. "We need to know if it is cost effective to keep the center open here."
Nehls said the E911 board gave the center an additional $40,000 last year and have provided updates for the equipment as needed.
"I would strive to keep the center open here," he told the council.
Jensen appointed Ward II Councilman Tony Yellow Boy and Ward III Councilman Gene Cox to work with Nehls to gather information on the benefits versus the cost of the E911 Center to be reviewed by the council. Mobridge City Attorney Rick Cain will also work with Nehls to gather information on the original E911 agreement with the member counties and in securing funding for after-hours services from those counties.

What a cool idea for a hotel! Would love to stay there for a semester! Unfortunately never had time to use the ping pong or billards table! The room was great and clean, unfortunately the microwave didn't work so it was annoying that we paid extra for a kitchenette but couldn't use it. We went down to the lobby to ask for help/notify the staff and they were not very friendly or helpful. Also the breakfast buffet is adequate but not really worth 7,75. Overall though great place!

the hostel was really great- great location, friendly staff, satisfying breakfast. the tour company they work with is also quite good the only downside is that they did not really chance the bed linens at all... even when someone new used the bed... However, I would highly recommended this place!

''The Lay of the Land'' looks like the dud of the week.
It's not just that its leading characters -- husband-and-wife college faculty members -- undermine credibility by appearing to believe that synchronious and restauranteur are real words. It's not just that their disposable children seem to have been rented rather than reared. And it's not so much that the entire production has such a bleak, penurious air that it conveys no sense of life in its backgrounds.
The problem is that ''The Lay of the Land,'' produced by the husband-and-wife team Jonathan D. Krane and Sally Kellerman from a two-character play by Mel Shapiro, ricochets indecisively and undistinctively between comedy and tragedy as it fumbles with the marital problems of the couple, M. J. and Harvey Dankworth. The direction of the film is credited to Larry Arrick, who directed Ms. Kellerman in the play in 1993 in Edmonton, Alberta.
M. J. (Ms. Kellerman), who teaches film, and Harvey (Ed Begley Jr.), who teaches literature, have a tired marriage; and when Harvey finds himself the mentor of a voluptuous new graduate student, Muriel Johanson (Sandra Taylor), with a talent for flirtation and an eye for susceptible playthings, the stage is set for the sludge of boredom to be ignited with the flame of infidelity.
Harvey begins pumping iron and teaching himself the guitar. M. J., who has deferred her dream of completing a documentary film project in Brazil and is afflicted with a hand rash, seeks the ministrations of a psychiatrist, Dr. Guttmacher (Tyne Daly).
Soon M. J. is playing out her rage in heavy-handed fantasy scenes set in hospitals, jails and offices where Ms. Daly apppears as a Teutonic doctor, a brutal guard and a calabash-puffing, deerstalker-wearing Sherlock Holmes.Continue reading the main story
Warned that his chance at tenure is in peril, Harvey, too, seeks psychiatric advice; and M. J. also turns to a private detective, the flamboyant Carmine Ficcone (Stuart Margolin), who mingles Old World wisdom with enough oily charm to toss his chubby mustachioed self at M. J. whenever she heaves into view.
