Hair Extensions for an
Active Lifestyle
For the woman with the active lifestyle, you want hair that looks and feels like yours, and doesn't keep you from doing all the things you love to do, whether it's swimming, exercising, or enjoying the outdoors.
This technique employs no glue, no adhesives, and no tape, and as such allows for damage free application. It is fast to install and maintain, and is the most comfortable and most versatile method for a variety of hair styles and lifestyles.
Fusion/ Ultra Fusion
Extensions are as customizable as you are unique. We at Elle.b Salon use all of the most popular non-damaging methods on the market today. We make sure that each customer has the right method and style for them and their lifestyle.
This method, often compared to Great Lengths methods, employs the use of keratin bonds that are warmed and melted, then bonded to the hair. Can be used for those with thinning and balding hair lines.
Using keratin based adhesive on small wefts of hair, tape-in extensions are great for blending short to long hair and for fine-haired clients. This technique is quick to apply and requires only moderate maintenance. Great quick add-on service for pops of color or volume.
The beaded weave is a type of track style of extension, with the use of hand-tied wefts to create the most natural look of any hair extension style. This method is great for those with wants of longer hair from a shorter length. Ie. a bob to chest length hair.
Here are some factors to consider with extensions:
There are tons of colors available in the market, which is why we'll help you choose colors that best match your hair.
We'll show you the different options regarding levels of hair extension quality so you can the one right for your budget.

What are hair extensions?
To put it simply: Hair extensions are human hair attached, using various methods, to your hair to create fullness and length.
How long do they last?
This heavily depends on care, however, if you take great care of them the hair should last anywhere from 6 months to a year, depending on what method you have.
Is the hair real?
Yes it is 100% ethically sourced human hair.
Why would someone get hair extensions?
Hair extensions provide many different solutions for clients. Solutions include: Fuller hair, longer hair, more volume, coverage for thinning areas, fix for a bad haircut, no stress grow out, or a combination of any of these!
How long does it take to get them put in?
With The Method by Elle.b its usually between 30 minutes to
2 hours for a full install.
How much does it cost?
That depends on what your desired result is. Without getting too technical, the longer, fuller hair you desire, the more it is. We recommend scheduling a FREE consultation with one of our certified artists and they can give an exact price. Plan on each stylist varying depending on salon location and experience.
Is there on-going maintenance and what is the maintenance?
All hair extension methods require maintenance. We require you to come in anywhere from 4 weeks to 8 weeks depending on your particular application. These "tightenings" can range from $75 to $350 each time.
Do hair extensions hurt when you have them put in or adjusted? What about when you sleep on them?
Everyone is different but they should not hurt. Usually I liken it to wearing a ponytail or hat for too long and that lasts for about a week, after that you really don't even notice them. Sleeping is annoying for about a week or less and then it's back to slumber as usual.
Will hair extensions damage my hair?
We at Elle.b only apply the most natural and non-damaging methods available. The Method Hair Extensions by Elle.b are made only of the best hair available and when applied by our certified stylists, they are guaranteed to be non-damaging. The tricky part is proper care by the client after application. This is as important as the application to prevent damage and keep your hair looking the best for the longest.
How can I make the process more affordable?
If you want to keep it on a budget, try for just fuller hair and when you get a bit more $$ add some for length. With the The Method by Elle.b your hair extensions are reusable so really the big cost is at the initial installation, after that you just are paying for maintenance which is significantly cheaper. Remember that hair extensions are considered a high-end treatment, so like all high-end things 'cheap' is relative.
Why is there such a big range in the price of extensions?
The cost of the extensions directly relates to the quality of the hair. If you want them cheap then chances are you are getting really low quality hair that tangles and thus you will have damage. If you just want your hair fuller and not longer, plan on paying less than if you want a ton of length and volume. And ALWAYS get the best hair available.
How do I brush and style my hair when I have extensions? Do extensions react to curling/flat irons the same way as my normal hair?
Brushing and styling is as usual, you just have to be mindful at the roots. Hair extensions usually hold styles and curl much better and for longer than natural hair, so plan on that.
How do I wash my hair when I have extensions?
Do I need a special shampoo?
Just like you did before, assuming you washed your hair before. I have had that before where a client didn't know how to wash her hair...awkward. You will need to make sure to use professional cleansers and conditioners to ensure the longevity of the hair.
What if I want to go swimming or go to the beach?
Read "
We All Want to Look Sexy at the Beach…
" blog for answers to this question.
What if I'm an athlete and work up a sweat on a daily basis? Will this have a negative effect on my extensions?
I have addressed this question before, but no it will not. Hair extensions are resilient in most conditions and this one especially. You will need a bigger hair band for you luscious locks though!!
What are the warning signs that my extensions might be damaging my hair/scalp?
Abnormal loss of extensions or if a large piece feels loose. You can lose up to 10-15 pcs in a 6-week period but more than that is no bueno.
Soreness for more than 2 weeks in one particular place. You could have a rogue section that needs to be adjusted.
Knotting up more than once or twice a day and/or you are pulling on them a lot.
How often do I need to get them re-done?
Every 4-6 weeks depending on what your stylist recommends.
How do I know whether my hairstylist is "really" qualified to be doing extensions?
Your stylist should know about and how to perform all major types of hair extensions (there are about 5-6) so they can determine the right type for your lifestyle and hair. They should also have a portfolio for you to see of their work. And last but not least, they should have reviews and references from other customers.

This was an ideal setup for the father of lies, however, as he now had ample opportunity to undermine the clear Word of God with his distorted version of the truth. And so, as pragmatism and worldly influence came to define the gathering known as "church," so too did liberalism sneak into the pew. As with other worldly trends, the church was a few years behind the culture, but still did the sinful, upside-down ideals of feminism creep into the church where they have been nurtured and thus continue to flourish today.
Preaching in 1986, Dr. John MacArthur would say:
The dialogue and debate and even conflict that goes on over the issue of the role of women in the church has reached massive proportions. It is amazing to me that it all began with a sort of self-justifying effort on the part of a group of lesbians who wanted to have their day in the sun and gave birth to the modern feminist movement. Feminism rises out of sinful perversion and yet in spite of its origin it has found its way into the culture of our society in almost every area and even lately into the church. And the church for years committed to certain standards of behavior for men and women is systematically and rather progressively throwing aside all of its former doctrines in favor of newer ones. I am amazed at how many evangelical churches, schools and even seminaries are fast jettisoning things that they have for all their life long held to be biblical truths.
Books are coming out written by people who have for all their ministry been known as evangelicals now denying the things they've always believed and affirming new truth regarding the role of women. They're going back to passages in the Scripture and saying they have to be reinterpreted. Some are saying they have to be ignored, they reflect only Paul's anti-female bias. Others are saying they were added later by editors and they do not reflect the intent of the biblical writer or even his own verbiage. One or another kind of approach is used to do away with what has been the traditional interpretation of the Word of God. In fact, interpreting passages which are so patently obvious that even a rather brief reading of the passage, as I have just done, leaves you in little doubt as to the intent of its meaning.
But nonetheless, the church which is to be the last bastion of the truth of God is falling fast to the march of the feminist army. 1

These are not pastors and leaders who sit on the fringes of Christianity, rather these are the celebrities of the evangelical world. These are those who are setting a precedent for the 'ordinary' and unknown Christian woman. Throughout the visible church, women are usurping the roles of men and forsaking their own God-given roles within the Body of Christ. This is not simply happening in one-off occurrences when a pastor is away and invites a guest speaker to preach. This is not simply a matter of women preaching to mixed audiences at conferences. This is not even only about the role of the primary preaching elder in the church. Everyday women (meaning, not celebrities like Beth Moore or Christine Caine), have usurped the leadership roles of men even within the local church. Why? Because the culture fosters feminism, and thus so does the pragmatic church as it seeks to appeal to the world rather than desiring to obey the clear Word of God.
When asked his thoughts about women usurping roles of leadership and authority within the church, Executive Director of Grace to You, Phil Johnson, had this to say:
What's most unbiblical is easily boiled down to this: women are not supposed to have authority over men in the church....
The biblical issue is the question of authority. It's not to say that men are smarter than women; it's not to say that men inherently are better teachers than women, none of that is the case. It's just the order God established for authority and it's an issue of authority and the leadership duty in the church.
It's for the women's benefit as well, that men, their husbands and fathers and the men in the church, should take leadership because you can see in our culture what happens when this is reversed....
It doesn't boil down to something as simple as, "Should women literally keep silent and never say anything?" The issue is authority and if you take all of those texts in context, you can see that. Paul is saying men should lead the church. Qualified men should lead the church. It's just as bad for unqualified men to lead the church as it is for women to lead the church. So it's not a sexist thing, it's just that this is the way that God has established order in the church. Christ is the head and He has under-shepherds who are qualified men. Both disqualified men and women who take that office have intruded into a role that God hasn't assigned to them and that's disobedience. 2Disobedience. This seems clear enough and even a cursory glance at the Scriptures addressing the topic lends itself to an understanding of God's clearly established and commanded order of the church. But man is rebellious and so he seeks to bend the Word to his own purposes rather than submitting himself to the Word clearly provided to him by God.
Women desire positions of authority and control, of that there is little doubt. As part of the curse of the Fall, the God-ordained roles of men and women were distorted:
To the woman he said, "I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children. Your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you." (Genesis 3:16)In the book, Recovering Biblical Manhood and Womanhood, in a chapter entitled, "Male-Female Equality and Male Headship," Ray Ortlund makes a very important distinction between male headship and male domination. The concept of male headship is gleaned from the model that Christ is the Head of the Church and, likewise, the husband is the head of the wife (1 Cor. 11:3; Eph. 5:23). Male domination, says Ortlund, is the antithesis of this, as the man asserts his will over the woman's will with no regard for her spiritual equality, rights or value.3 It is crucial that one understand the difference, as well as understand that even the Christian who holds to complementarian thought would denounce male domination.
Ortlund then explains the error made by evangelical feminism:
Evangelical feminism argues that God created man and woman as equals in a sense that excludes male headship. Male headship/domination (feminism acknowledges no distinction) was imposed upon Eve as a penalty for her part in the fall. It follows, in this view, that a woman's redemption in Christ releases her from the punishment of male headship.4This, then, sets the stage for the erroneous reasoning behind evangelical feminism. The concept of male headship, however, is not rooted in the Fall. It did not first appear in Genesis 3:16. Rather, it is rooted in the creation order before the Fall ever took place.
God created male headship as one aspect of our pre-fall perfection. Therefore, while many women today need release from male domination, the liberating alternative is not female rivalry or autonomy but male headship wedded to female help. Christian redemption does not redefine creation; it restores creation, so that wives learn godly submission and husbands learn godly headship.5Yet the curse of the Fall is demonstrated throughout history as mankind perpetuates this distortion of roles both outside and inside of the church. The language Paul uses in his first letter to Timothy indicates that women at the church in Ephesus already were appropriating for themselves the roles reserved for men. Hence, Paul had to clearly restate God's intended order:
Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness. I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet. For Adam was formed first, then Eve; and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor. Yet she will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control. (1 Timothy 2:11–15)It seems astonishing, then, that any church claiming submission and fidelity to Scripture would blatantly disobey such commands. Yet it happens and it happens frequently.
With the success of his Willow Creek Community Church in the Chicagoland area, Bill Hybels quickly became one of the founders of the seeker-driven movement, thus popularizing the lure of liberalism into the visible church as it is known today. The most recently released "Willow Weekly" newsletter includes a brief article about elders and what is required for those desiring to be in this position of leadership at the megachurch.
From the "Willow Weekly":
Of those passages listed above (Titus 1:9, Acts 20:28, 1 Peter 5:1–4, 1 Tim. 3:2–7), the two that speak most clearly of the character qualifications of those in leadership are those found in the Pastoral Epistles, namely 1 Timothy 3:2–7 and not merely only Titus 1:9, but Titus 1:5–9.
Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. He must manage his own household well, with all dignity keeping his children submissive, for if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for God's church? He must not be a recent convert, or he may become puffed up with conceit and fall into the condemnation of the devil. Moreover, he must be well thought of by outsiders, so that he may not fall into disgrace, into a snare of the devil. (1 Timothy 3:2–7)
This is why I left you in Crete, so that you might put what remained into order, and appoint elders in every town as I directed you—if anyone is above reproach, the husband of one wife, and his children are believers and not open to the charge of debauchery or insubordination. For an overseer, as God's steward, must be above reproach. He must not be arrogant or quick-tempered or a drunkard or violent or greedy for gain, but hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined. He must hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it. (Titus 1:5–9)A full discussion of these passages would take more space than ought to be granted to this one post. Though there are many similarities between these two passages (thus demonstrating that the qualifications for elders set forth by God are an unchanging standard), take careful note of this phrase: "the husband of one wife." At the risk of over-simplifying the issue, how is it that a woman can be the husband of one wife? Does this not immediately disqualify women from holding such a post?

The broader context of these passages, especially that of 1 Timothy 3:2–7, draws a distinct line between the roles of men and women in worship. Men are to lead prayer in worship (1 Tim. 2:8), while women are commanded to be present in the worship service so that they, too, may learn (1 Tim. 2:11). While women today may bristle at the idea that a woman is to "learn quietly with all submissiveness," the cultural realities must also be acknowledged. At the time of Paul's writing, in both Jewish and Greek society, women often were not encouraged to attend public worship. Their presence there was unimportant.6 The fact that Paul commands them to be present and affirms their right to learn must have been a great joy to the women of that day. And why must women be present to learn and be instructed in the Word of God? Because they too have grand ministry opportunities to raise godly children (1 Tim. 2:15) and to instruct fellow women in the faith.
I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you as well. (2 Timothy 1:5)
Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled. (Titus 2:3–5)"That the word of God may not be reviled." In the church, when women usurp the authority granted to men, or when men abdicate their role, thus opening the door for women to take their place, the Word of God is reviled. It is disobeyed, defied and denigrated. The roles of men and women within the Body of Christ are clearly defined by God Himself. The distinction between these roles does not nullify the glorious reality of spiritual equality in Christ (Rom. 3:22; Gal. 3:28; 1 Cor. 12:13), but it does demonstrate the importance of submission—by both men and women—to the Head of the Church, Jesus Christ.
When Willow Creek elder Missy Rasmussen states that "to be an Elder, you should feel God is leading you. It's a calling," one can know for certain that it is not God who is "calling" her to this role. Rather, it is a deception by the Great Deceiver himself, whose great goal is to confuse and destroy God's ordained plan and corrupt His perfect design. It is Satan who successfully tempts women to be discontent with their God-created roles in the church, family and society.7
Shame on the church, then, for allowing such corruption within its walls. Ironically, it is a failure of leadership that has led to the allowance of this role-reversal. When the leadership capitulates to the liberalism of the land, welcoming it into the God-designed structure known as the church, it is only a matter of time before the rest of Scripture is seen by that church as merely a helpful guide, and not the pure and holy Word of God. Like God Himself, the Word of the Almighty does not change. How sad it is that those who have been entrusted to teach this Word are the very ones willing to transgress it.

I've been alternating work on putting away Christmas stuff, catching up on the laundry, and designing the next small tapestry, all morning. As you may recall from my earlier post, I'm working with two possible designs (with the always available option of chucking them both and coming up with something altogether different.)
The first design originated with the photo above. But it has too much going on in it for a small tapestry. So what I have ended up with in my maquette and cartoon for this one (both below) is a simplified, weavable version, that keeps all the elements I like, and eliminates the unnecessary clutter, which would not weave well.
|tapestry maquette
One of the things I liked, though it was not really a recognizable element in the original photo, was the red wheelbarrow. I use the color red frequently to make the viewers eye travel through the design. The barrow was tilted against the garage in the photo, and was not in a place that was helpful, design-wise. So I took out the garage and put in a new wheelbarrow and it's shadow in the garage's place. Now it will be not only weavable, but recognizable, and the red is placed where I want it to be.
|tapestry cartoon
The only other major change I made to the image was to enlarge the chickens in the doorway. I enlarged them several times to get them to the size I want them. I'm actually pretty happy with this design now. It will be weavable, and will have enough challenges to keep me interested as I work.
|tapestry cartoon
The other design I was considering was the sketch I did yesterday. I am somewhat amused by how many people relate to this sketch! So, in considering it as a tapestry, the sketch itself would be the maquette, and the cartoon is above. I actually see this as a more challenging design to weave than the chickens would be. The reason is that I really like the sketch; which I did in a few short minutes to capture my mood. It would be difficult for me to capture that immediacy in such a slow medium as tapestry. I know myself: I would see all my sketch's 'errors' and would try to 'fix them,' losing the mood and the sketchy quality I love about the image. I could weave this, and I may weave it; mostly because I love a challenge! But I am thinking I will weave the chickens first.
Or maybe I'll set up two small looms, and will start them both at the same time, and see which one wins my affections as I go! (Or which one looks like it will be done in time to go to the exhibit....)


text: Love the site, been lurking a while reading all the threads... Anyway, I'm looking at a couple of 240mm gyutos, and would like to know what you all think about each one of them: Fujiwara FKM Sakai Takayuki Grand Chef Western Konosuke HH Western Suisin Inox Background: I'm currently learning my knife skills, and currently using a 8" Victorinox Forschner with a Fibrox handle that I like the grip but it feels scratchy to me. I will be picking up a sharpening water stone set (I have some experience sharpening pocket knives on oil stones with guides) as well to support what I assume will soon become an addiction. I am left handed, looking for a western handle, stainless, and push cut. When I first started with my Forschner, it seemed long at first, but now I think it's a bit on the short side. My preferred budget is below $200. This would be my first J-knife, and I would have gone straight for the FKM (I hear it has good ergonomics, good intro knife), but I'm wondering instead of upgrading a few months later I should just pay the extra $$ now and skip a tier. Which brings me to my second choice, the Grand Chef. From what I have read, it a great metal with a good fit and finish (though the metal isn't hardened as much as other J-knives). The reason I'm looking at it is because my professionally trained cook friend (who has never worked on the line after graduating) felt that the handle on the Richmond Artifex would be uncomfortable after a while. I have read on other forums that the Grand Chef is over priced and would be cheaper if bought in Japan. It seems that Konosuke has quite a following as well, though choosing the HH over the HD is a tradeoff between ease of sharpening and stain resistance. And I can't remember why the Suisin made my short list. I'm thinking of sticking to single steel knives because I read that cladded knives feel slightly different on stones. I have also read that VG-10 like on the Tojiro can be chippy (especially for someone who hasn't gotten proper technique). No carbon because I'm not sure I'm ready for that kind of commitment (yet). I'll be keeping my Forschner around as my beater knife. All in all, the Grand Chef looks very very tempting. Thanks.

New Delhi: Former captain Sunil Gavaskar on Friday came down hard on Indian cricketers, who had skipped practice sessions during the ongoing Test series against Australia, saying they have not gone there for "sightseeing but to play cricket".
Gavaskar was critical of some of the Indian players` "attitude" towards practice, which he said was one of the reasons for the visitors` humiliating losses in the first two Tests of the four-match series.
"Christmas is big in Australia and it`s understandable for Australian players taking off after first Test. But what were our players doing? Why were not they doing practice? Have they gone there for sightseeing or play cricket?" asked a furious Gavaskar.
"The first Test ended on the fourth day and it`s OK they took off on the fifth day but why don`t they do practice after that. I don`t know what is the attitude of the players. While on tour they should practice, practice and practice to have in proper frame of mind to be competitive. Why nobody is asking questions? These questions should be asked," he said.
Australia took an unassailable 2-0 lead in the four-match series after defeating India by an innings and 68 runs in Sydney on Friday. The visitors had earlier lost the series opener in Melbourne by a huge 122 runs.
The former India skipper also criticised the Cricket Board (BCCI) for not including tour games in between the four Test matches.
"It`s OK you have two practice matches before the start of the series. But why not in between second and third Test in Perth. There is a week in between second and third Test and no tour game is there. There is another seven days in between third and fourth Test and no practice game is planned," Gavaskar told a TV channel.
"If the (BCCI) technical committee is not taken into confidence when the fixture is planned what is the point of having the committee," he fumed.
Gavaskar said that the home series against the West Indies should have been planned in reverse order with the ODIs held first before the Test matches so that the players go to Australia in Test cricket mode.
India lost their sixth consecutive Test abroad with an innings and 68-run defeat in the second Test against Australia in Sydney today and Gavaskar blamed it on too much of limited overs cricket.
"We played too much of limited over cricket. We play in slow and low pitches whereas in Australia the pitches are very hard. It`s not easy to adjust from playing on frontfoot to playing at backfoot," he said.
Gavaskar said pacer Praveen Kumar, who missed Australia tour due to an injury, should be sent there if he is fit.
"I think the selectors picked the best available team barring Praveen Kumar who of course could not go to Australia due to injury. But from the way Ben Hilfenhaus was swinging the ball Praveen Kumar should have done well," he said.
"Praveen is slower than Hilfenhaus but he should have swung the ball. I don`t know his fitness status but PK should be sent now if he is fit after doing whatever fitness test on him," said the former captain.
Gavaskar also advised the media not to focus on Sachin Tendulkar`s elusive 100th international ton but said the veteran batsman should have played in the ODI series against the West Indies to notch up the feat so that "monkey was off from his back".
"We have been talking about Tendulkar`s impending 100th international ton for the past nine months. He himself has said that it`s just a number and not worried about scoring or not scoring the 100th century.
"I would advise the media not to mention a single word on his 100th ton. But he should have played against West Indies in ODI series. He could have scored his 100th ton and could have gone to Australia without this hype," said Gavaskar.
"The monkey would have been off from his back if he had scored his 100th ton against West Indies," he added.

This blog-world stuff thrills me and here's why. Each year I have somehow been elected to create Oscar ballots for my boss's Academy Awards party. It's a small part of my very "diverse" job. I inwardly grumble about the task but secretly kind of love it. It allows for me to be somewhat creative. I usually create my own instead of using ballots from online. So, I completed this year's Oscar ballots and moved on UNTIL I came across Kathleen's blog, Twig & Thistle. There she has created two blog posts dedicated to a do it yourself Oscar party - complete with downloads. There are downloads for invitations, candy bag toppers, candy trays, fresh popcorn bags and YES a beautiful Oscar ballot! She just oozes style. Of course, I quickly purged my ballots and downloaded away. I simply added red and silver star brads to the ballot and the additional 6 categories which Kathleen left off due to space constraints. So, if you're having an Academy Award party this Sunday - head to Kathleen's blog right away. She makes me want to host a party next year. Below are some images of the Oscar ballots. The first is mine.
And the Oscar goes to...Kathleen at Twig & Thistle!
added red and silver star brads for Hollywood sparkle and to hold the ballot within the cover

PhotoRadar Texture Doubles27 57 Share Tweet
Cant find nice textured walls for doubles? Or probably too lazy to look for them? There are 100 textures that are available right infront of your computer monitor, you just need a little time to download them all.
I personally love textures, and I always use them for multiple exposure shots.
But sometimes, looking for a great textured walls or tree trunk to use for multiple exposure is not that easy, especially if you are in a city.
I found a site that allows you to download 100 textures for free!
1. Just download all the photos.
2. Select the texture that you want for doubles.
3. Open it full screen in your computer monitor and photograph your screen.
4. Shoot an entire roll. You can choose different photo per shot.
5. Rewind your film .
6. Reload the film for doubles.
7. And finally shoot outdoor!
I love the water droplets texture and those grunge textures!

London: A new study has suggested that high levels of sunlight combined with a diet packed with Vitamin D can reduce the risk of breast cancer by 43 per cent.
Laboratory studies have suggested that Vitamin D may have a number of anti-cancer effects and has been shown to slow the spread of cancer cells.
Researchers at the Centre for Research in Epidemiology and Population Health in France tracked 67,721 women aged 41 to 72 for a decade to see who developed breast cancer.
Regions, where levels of daily ultraviolet were high, the women with higher level of Vitamin D had a breast cancer risk 32 to 43 per cent lower compared with those with the lowest vitamin intake.
"Our findings support a protective effect of sun exposure on the risk of breast cancer," the Daily Mail quoted Pierre Engel, who led the study, as saying.
"It is difficult to have a simple public-health message without thinking about the risk of skin cancer. We must be very cautious but we think that increased Vitamin D levels by reasonable sun exposure and higher dietary intakes should be encouraged.
"As suggested by our results, diet alone seems unable to provide an adequate amount of Vitamin D," said Engel.
``These results confirm other work we have carried out showing that women with high blood Vitamin D levels are at reduced risk of breast cancer compared to those who have very low levels,`` added Engel.

The Professional Portal Program was formerly known as the Professional Portal Track (PPT). Admission criteria and selection process for candidates have remained the same, and criteria for automatic admission to medical school have not changed.
The PPP consists of three sequential steps. Two are included in the first year, and the third is accomplished during the summer after completing the required coursework.
Year 1
Recognizing the value of non-traditional approaches to improving health care for medically underserved communities and populations in Mississippi, the Professional Portal Program will identify, nurture and maximize the academic potential of students who strive towards careers in health care or biomedical science that will benefit the underserved of this state.
The Professional Portal Program will provide a mentor-based, comprehensive program that offers a terminal degree in the biomedical sciences suitable as preparation for teaching at the community/junior college level, as advanced training for governmental and industrial positions, and as an indication of competitiveness for admission to the University of Mississippi Schools of Medicine (M.D.), Dentistry (D.M.D.) and Graduate Studies in the Health Sciences (Ph.D.).
Criteria for admission to the PPP include: 1) formal application and denial of admission to either the School of Medicine, School of Dentistry or School of Graduate Studies in Health Sciences at UMMC; 2) Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) or Dental Admissions Test (DAT) scores not more than four years old; 3) belonging to racial or ethnic groups under-represented in medicine or coming from an environmentally or economically disadvantaged background; 4) recommendation by the medical, dental or graduate school's admission officer; 4) invitation to apply by the Professional Portal Program director; and 5) submission of acceptable Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores. Residency requirements and time limitations for the Professional Portal Program are the same as those listed in the UMMC Bulletin for the Master of Science program.
The Professional Portal Program at the UMMC School of Graduate Studies in the Health Sciences utilizes the power of mentorship to attract, sustain and empower students underrepresented in medicine or from environmentally and/or economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

I believe goals are important because they are something you need to set to be successful and have something to look forward to and strive to achieve in your life time. I think everyone has goals to a certain extent. Goals will influence your daily life if you are trying to become something that requires a lot of schooling or training to become, such as a doctor or lawyer. But some goals do not need that much training and or work to be achieved, some people want to do well... Some want easy goals.... And some just don't care.
When I was young I never cared about setting goals, or really knew what they were. I was always just messing around in school like it was a picnic. Then I learned that school was like free education. The free education would lead to free money, which in turn would lead to me getting whatever I wanted.
What makes me set goals for myself most is seeing all this fancy stuff you can buy, but without goals, you can never achieve a job that pays well enough to afford some of the stuff you want to buy. Now that I'm older I realize that to be successful and have what I want I need to finish school and get good grades so I can enter a college of my choice and major in a field which I like and pays good money. Some people are just in the job for the money, I want something that pays well but also is something I can enjoy. This is why I want to become a computer technician, or programmer. Those 2 careers intrigue me because they are mainly what I am into now. Computers fascinate me because of the amazing things you...

It has been suggested that the league's row with the FA over the 'two-up, two-down' issue was about to turn into a tat-for-tat battle.
A story emerged last Sunday that suggested the Conference was preparing to relegate only the bottom club in response to the FA's stubborn refusal to allow no more than the winners to take their place in the Nationwide League.
That would help the Cards as they continue their fight to steer clear of the drop zone.
It has also been reported that the three champions from the feeder leagues – Ryman, Unibond and Dr Marten's – would come up next season and form a new-look 24-club Nationwide Conference.
But chief executive Moules insisted: "I have spent most of the last week finding out how this has arisen. It has not come from the Conference.
"We submitted rule changes last year to the FA which were rejected. I have no idea where these stories have come from."
And he added: "There are ongoing discussions with all parties to bring along more promotion to the Football League. I am a bit miffed as to where this story came from.
"I keep telling all the clubs, the only way to avoid relegation is to pick up enough points."
Woking director Phil Ledger, who is also a member of the Conference board, revealed however, that the league was stepping up its campaign.
He said: "We are getting nowhere with the two-up, two-down issue and what we have done is employ a PR company to put our case forward more forcefully to the FA.
"It has been going on for two years now and nothing has happened. The Conference want to go to 24 clubs next season as they will honour their agreement with the feeder leagues.
"If only one goes up then only one will go down. The Conference have no one to represent it on the FA Council which makes an absolute mockery of the situation. I can't help thinking that people don't like the Conference."
And he added: "Meetings are going on all the time. We will just have to wait and see what happens." Meanwhile, Ledger, fellow director John Buchanan and Kingfield manager Geoff Chapple, were due to complete their interviews for the vacant chief coach's job, by yesterday afternoon.
Chapple revealed that five applicants – including current temporary incumbent Glenn Cockerill – will have been vetted with their final choice then facing a meeting with chairman Chris Ingram.
The Cards boss denied that two of the contenders were former Tottenham chief Gerry Francis and Gordon Hill, the ex-Man United winger axed by Chester City this season.
Chapple insisted he was actively trying to bolster his squad ahead of tomorrow's home clash with Doncaster.
On the injury front, Jamie Pitman is back in the reckoning after recovering from an operation and could return in Tuesday's Surrey Senior Cup semi-final against Tooting.
And there was good news too for on-loan midfielder Geoff Pitcher this week, who has escaped a ban after picking up five bookings.
* Woking's Conference clash at home to Dagenham & Redbridge has been put back a week to Tuesday, April 23.

'Crytek' is currently developing a VR rock climbing game that brings the mountaineering experience into your living room. While rock climbing is a popular hobby, not everyone will have the opportunity to experience what it feels like to scale a deadly cliff face. Now VR technology is being used to give consumers the same experience in the form of a video game.
'The Climb' is a VR game that works in conjunction with the Oculus Rift headset and a Xbox One or Oculus Touch controller. The game is intended to mimic the experience of scaling a rocky peak in some of the world's most popular climbing destinations. Unlike a regular video game, The Climb uses VR technology to create a fully immersive experience. As a result, players are able to fully experience the sensation of rock climbing in a way that traditional video games do not allow.
The VR rock climbing game provides a new way for consumers to experience hobbies that they may not be able to undertake in real life.

What I would do to sit down and chat with the 8 year old me. Chelsey: the second grade child who loved to read and play pretend and kiss her parents goodnight. Would she be proud of the woman sitting before her? Would she recognize me? Would she love me.
I imagined myself in Mrs. Jansen's second grade classroom with my friends, Courtney and Emma, and think back to the carefree recesses and simplistic lifestyles we led. I desperately wanted to grow up, only to turn around and wish I could be 8 again in that basement classroom with only the people who cared about what we were eating for lunch and not the clothes we wore on our backs.
Oh, the life.
So, if I had the chance, what would I tell her? What would I tell that sweet, child that I was over a decade ago?
1. Do it for the story. Say yes to as many things as possible. Whether it turns out well or terrible, it becomes a part of your story, your journey, and will ultimately shape you into who you will become.
2. Stop worrying about your weight. If you want to get fit and strong, DO IT. But don't walk around all self-conscious about your appearance. You're a beautiful, young girl. Wear it proud!
3. Hang out with people who make you laugh. Don't underestimate laughter and humor in everyday people. Life is too short not to laugh too much.
4. Learn as much as you can. Absorb as much information from your education as possible. You can never know too much.
5. With that being said, never play the dumb girl. EVER.
6. Find some hobbies you love. Maybe one to spend time with mom or dad and maybe one to make you a more well-rounded individual. Find some hobbies and practice till you bleed (sometimes literally.)
7. Never stop writing. Whether you're keeping a journal under your bed or you blog to a million followers, never stop writing and producing and creating.
8. Don't sweat the small stuff. That one race you didn't win in track? Doesn't matter. That one sleepover you didn't get invited to? Forget it. You're bigger than your circumstances.
9. Fall in love with yourself before you let someone else do it. Seriously, when you know and love yourself first, you won't hurt as badly when it comes crashing down around you. You'll walk away just as full of an individual as the strong girl who walked into that relationship. Remember: you are so much more than someone's significant other.
10. You do you, girl. Seriously, do you so hard. Life is too short not to. You want to pursue something? Pursue it with everything you have. And when you think you've given all that you've got, give it 110% more. You are capable of so many wonderful and incredible things. You are not just a daughter or a sister or a roommate or a student. You are a woman, an individual who has a world of opportunity lying ahead of her. Choose to take the path less traveled. Does it make you uncomfortable? Yes. Good. You're doing something different. Stand up for what you believe in, and don't back down. You are capable. You are worthy. You are enough.

A bored lesson horse finds understanding.
Some riders look for the perfect horse. Bramble is looking for the perfect rider. Fed up with circling the ring at her lesson barn, with jumping and with insensitive children, Bramble begins a campaign of passive resistance until the stable owner Mrs. Blenkinsop (a hard name for beginning readers!) puts her up for sale. But Bramble doesn't like the first riders that try her, either: One is too bossy, the other—horrors!—expects her to jump. Enter Maggie, who tries to figure out what Bramble wants. When Bramble goes too fast, Maggie apologizes—"My mistake. I didn't mean for you to go that fast"—and asks again. When Bramble shrinks from a snake in the yard, Maggie explains that it's really a water hose. And when Bramble doesn't want to be alone in her new stall, Maggie spends the night. Other than the improbable-but-cute ending, Haas' latest hits all the right notes, combining accurate horse information with the impossible longing of horse-crazy young girls. Friend's cartoonish watercolors, which appear on nearly every page of this upper-level early-reader, convey affection and sympathy for stubborn Bramble and sweet Maggie.A story like a good lesson horse: easy, pleasant, workmanlike, well-suited to beginning and intermediate riders—er, readers. (Early reader. 5-8)

Inn BoonsBoro,#2
nora roberts.
Publisher Berkley.
Publication Date: May 1,2012.
Genre: Contemporary Romance|Paranormal.
Format|Pages: Paperback|319.
Source: Goodreads|Library.
Owen is the organizer of the Montgomery clan, running the family's construction business with an iron fist - and an even less flexible spreadsheet. And though his brothers bust on his compulsive list-making, the Inn BoonsBoro is about to open right on schedule. The only thing Owen didn't plan for was Avery McTavish...
Avery's popular pizza place is right across the street from the inn, giving her a first-hand look at its amazing renovation - and a newfound appreciation for Owen. Since he was her first boyfriend when they were kids, Owen has never been far from Avery's thoughts. But the attraction she's feeling for him now is far from innocent.
Avery's popular pizza place is right across the street from the inn, giving her a first-hand look at its amazing renovation - and a newfound appreciation for Owen. Since he was her first boyfriend when they were kids, Owen has never been far from Avery's thoughts. But the attraction she's feeling for him now is far from innocent.
As Avery and Owen cautiously take their relationship to another level, the opening of the inn gives the whole town of Boonsboro a reason to celebrate. But Owen's hard work has only begun. Getting Avery to let down her guard is going to take longer than he expected - and so will getting her to realize that her first boyfriend is going to be her last...
THE LAST BOYFRIEND is the fourth NORA ROBERTS book that I have read and I had fallen in love with her writing. I have few friends who kept talking about her, now I know why. Her writing, her stories and characters will blow you away. Out of all her books that I have read, Inn BoonsBoro Trilogy has been my favorite, so far. I couldn't seem to get enough of the story, the characters and once I reached the end, I wanted to pick up next book in series right away. THE LAST BOYFRIEND was as good as the first book in series and I adored Owen since the first book and couldn't help but wonder who he would end up with. Avery is perfect for him, and it was clear from start how much he cared about her. Owen always seemed to be there, to take care of her. That type of story was hard to not fall in love with.
I thought it was cute, how he was her first boyfriend, even though they were like 6 at the time. It's romantic that in the end the two of them ended up together. He was there for her when her mother showed up out of nowhere. I did not expect for him to propose to her, not that fast anyways, but I could tell that the two of them were happy with each other. I think that both needed that, needed each other. I think the ghost, Lizzy is set up on setting up the Montgomery brothers, it is as if she senses the feelings that they might not know were there. I think that it's kind of romantic that way, even if it takes her to trap people inside together. The ghost adds a bit suspense to the story every single time. I couldn't help but fall in love with both Avery and Owen, but then they are hard to not love.
Just like everyone in the novel, I feel in love with the Inn. Since I started reading the series, it felt like I went through when they were building to opening and to me it's beautiful. I can't wait to see what's in store for Ryder and Hope. Story is not only what I love about this books, I am in love with covers which will take your breath away, titles too. If you haven't read Nora Roberts book, you should pick up one, you be glad that you had. I wish that I read her books earlier than I had. I can't wait to see what's in store in her other novels.

Jehovah's Witnesses – yesteryear…. [USA]
It's common knowledge: the pictures that capture your attention and make you take a second and third look are those that are out of the ordinary – the things that just make you go "ahhh" and "hmmmm" and "ehhhh?" Well I had one of those moments a few minutes ago when I encountered of all things, historical photos of Jehovah Witnesses from LIFE magazine via Google.
Here in Trinidad the JWs are best known for standing on street corners selling Watchtower magazines and knocking on neighbourhood doors in an attempt to spread their gospel. These images are therefore as informative as they are riveting.
4 Responses to "Jehovah's Witnesses – yesteryear…. [USA]"
You neglected to mention in your present day description of them, Pixelle, the black umbrellas that they 'tote' around with them.
Hmmm…I wonder if they have any more of those 'sling over your shoulder' AWAKE Bags. LOL
For some entertainment, here is a list of some 'celebrities' who are purportedly Jehovah's Witnesses:
– Prince
– George Benson
– Venus & Serena Williams
– Ja Rule
– Eve Arden
– Evelyn Mandela
– Lou Whitaker
– Selena
– Katherine Jackson
– Geri Halliwell
– Terrence HowardNaomi Campbell
– Mickey Spillane
– Gloria Naylor
Kim Holland ( a dutch porn actress was also a JW, but I guess it didnt accommodate for her -career dreams?
Nice pictures. Enjoyed them.

Google to Boost Hiring as Yahoo Cuts Jobs
Looking for a new job in tech? Google announced Tuesday that 2011 will be its biggest hiring year to date.
The news came the same day that Yahoo announced it would cut 1 percent of its workforce.
"I am excited about 2011because it will be our biggest hiring year in company history," Alan Eustace, senior vice president of engineering and research at Google, said in a blog post. "We're looking for top talentacross the board and around the globeand we'll hire as many smart, creative people as we can to tackle some of the toughest challenges in computer science."
Google added more than 4,500 jobs in 2010, primarily in engineering and sales. Last year was the second biggest year for new hires behind 2007, when the company added 6,000 jobs, Eustace wrote.
What type of things will new Google employees be tackling? Eustace said there will be "something at Google for everyonefrom geo, to enterprise, to videowith most of the work done in small teams, effectively working as start-ups."
The average number of software engineers on a project at Google is 3.5, he said.
Though Google now has 24,400 employees, Eustace insisted that it is "still the same entrepreneurial company it was when I started, encouraging Googlers to take on big ideas and high-risk, high-reward opportunities."
According to chief executive officer Eric Schmidt, about 1,000 of those new jobs will be in Europe.
"Our businesses are doing very well around the globe, and as a result I'm happy to announce we'll be adding 1,000 new employees in Europe and make some significant investments," Schmidt said in his keynote at the DLD Conference in Germany. "Hundreds of these people will be located right here in our technology center in Munich."
Yahoo, meanwhile, will cut 1 percent of its workforce. "The personnel changes we are making are part of our ongoing strategy to best position Yahoo for revenue growth and margin expansion and to support our strategy to deliver differentiated products and experiences to the marketplace," a Yahoo spokeswoman told the Los Angeles Times.
The news comes about a month after Yahoo cut about 600 additional jobs. On Tuesday, Yahoo reported fourth quarter revenue of $1.525 billion, a 12 percent decrease from the year before. Earnings, however, jumped from $153 million to $312 million.

Endangered Child Alert Issued For 4-Month-Old Girl
Police are looking for Zaylee Grace Fryar.
They said she was last seen with her mother, Shauna Marie Fryar on May 1
at their home in Millersville. Police said no personal belongings are
Zaylee has black hair and brown eyes and weighs 12 pounds. She also has a quarter size brown birthmark on her right leg.
Police said Shauna has a past history of drug abuse.
An Amber Alert has been issued by the TBI for a four-month-old infant
after her mother's body was found in the Cumberland River.
Police are searching for four-month-old
Zaylee Grace Fryar. She was last seen with her mother, Shauna Marie
Fryar, on Sunday, May 1 at their home in Millersville.
Metro police said the body found in the
Cumberland River on Saturday night has been identified through
fingerprints as 28-year-old Shauna Marie Fryar. Fryar was reported
missing to Millersville Police on Thursday, May 5 by her husband.
The woman's body was spotted by someone on
the Shelby Street Pedestrian Bridge who called 911 on Saturday night.
Dive teams recovered the body.
Dive Team Discovers Body in Cumberland
Police said there was no trauma to her body
that suggested the cause of death, which remains undetermined. Police
have also not determined whether Shauna died before entering the water.
An autopsy is underway.
Metro police have been checking the area
around the Cumberland River for Zaylee, though they said there is no
evidence at this point that she is in the water.
"If we get more information then we may put
boats in, but right now its just aerial and if it gets down to the point
where we need to use divers we will," said Metro Police Lt. Steven
Millersville police had originally issued an
endangered child alert for Zaylee on Monday. It was upgraded on Tuesday
after police identified Shauna's body.
Fryar's husband, who is not Zaylee's father,
told Millersville Police that he left their apartment around 9 p.m.
Sunday, May 1, to go to the store. When he returned, his wife and Zaylee
were gone, although her vehicle, cell phone, wallet and the child's
diaper bag were still at the residence. He told police it wasn't unusual
for her to be gone for days on end.
Detectives have confirmed that Fryar and the child were fine on Saturday, April 30, when they visited a relative in Pegram.
Zaylee has black hair and brown eyes and weighs 12 pounds. She also has a quarter size brown birthmark on her right leg.
Police said Fryar has a history of drug
addiction, and that she may have been trying to obtain illegal drugs at
around the time she was last seen.
In all, police said Fryar had seven children,
including Zaylee, ranging in age from four months to 12-years who live
with other relatives.
At this point, investigators said everyone is
a suspect until they can figure out if they're dealing with an accident
or foul play.
Zaylee's father was incarcerated in the Robertson County Jail at the time mother and daughter disappeared.

1) Combine the "backing" variable declaration into the property declaration, typically for a one-liner like so:
class A
pro foo from var = List<of int>()
2) Declare the backing variable separately because the property has some logic:
class A
var _foo as List<of int>?
pro foo as List<of int>
if _foo is nil, _foo = List<of int>()
return _foo
_foo = value
There is an older approach that I no longer use:
class A
var _foo as List<of int>
# ...
pro foo from var
...except when maintaining older classes that use this approach.
Because that style has fallen out of use (AFAICT), and in the interest of keeping things succinct and convenient, I suggest that Cobra support:
class A
pro foo = List<of int>()
# and when you don't have an initial value:
pro bar as IDictionary<of String, int>?
# where the absence of the implementation of 'get' and 'set'
# implies storage by a backing variable
This is not an original suggestion. It was made earlier by users that were not attached to the original approach like I was, and consequently realized this much sooner than I did.
The "from var" variants would be left in place for legacy reasons. No code breakage. But samples, how-to's and wiki docs would emphasize the newer approach. Here is a more extensive test drive:
class Customer
pro name = '(noname)'
pro address as Address?
get orders = List<of Order>()
# or if you want the property type to be more general:
get orders as IList<of Order> = List<of Order>()
get balance as number
bal = 0.0
for order in orders, bal += order.bal
return bal
...so "from var" disappears and properties can have automatic backing vars regardless of how they are otherwise declared (initial expression (... = SomeValue) vs. type (... as SomeType)).
I think this reads and writes better.
Does anyone foresee any problems this would pose?
Does anyone object?
Do you like or dislike?

MAYOR DESTEFANO: New Haven Downtown Crossing project should move forward
Editor's note: This column by New Haven Mayor John DeStefano Jr. comes after his presentation about Downtown Crossing at the Congress for New Urbanism
The Big Dig in Boston. I-395 in Miami. Route 34 in New Haven. What do they all have in common? All were discussed in a session Friday at the national meeting of the Congress for the New Urbanism. Lots of design professionals from around America gathered to talk about how America is building (and in our case, tearing down) urban highways.
A lot of the talk had to do with amenities -- parks, open spaces and better city environment, and also about our opportunity here in New Haven to create jobs in challenging economic times. That is what is important about our Downtown Crossing project -- knitting the city back together in a manner that creates jobs and taxes by connecting the Green and Yale's central campus to Union Station and Yale New Haven Hospital and the School of Medicine.
When Route 34 was first imagined back in the early 1940s, manufacturing jobs were the core of our workforce. Today it's different. It's the combination of institutional growth at the hospitals and universities along with the commercialization of research at life science firms that now drive our economy. That change in work means we need to change. That's why New Haven School Change, Promise scholarships, our magnet schools and growing and moving Gateway Community College Downtown are so important.
Now is the time for Downtown Crossing to reclaim 10.5 acres of prime downtown land in the fastest growing part of the city. We need to move forward with the development of 100 College Street as the new home for our growing private sector life sciences businesses that pay taxes and employ people We need to build streets and sidewalks, accommodate pedestrians and bikes in a way that knit all of this together.
Thursday night nearly 300 New Haven residents turned out at the Board of Aldermen to support this step forward. Since the 2008 recession, no city in Connecticut and few in the Northeast has matched our city's job and population growth. We have led the state in real grand list growth in each of the last three years. Connecticut school reform was modeled on New Haven School Change. New leadership and the hard work of our police officers have made us safer. Now with the Downtown Crossing project, it's time to take another step forward.
Real change is built one day at a time. And now is the time to take this step forward.

The Scott Vincent Memorial Scholarship Established at Carl Albert State College
The Scott Vincent Memorial Scholarship Established at Carl Albert State College
The Scott Vincent Memorial Scholarship has been established at Carl Albert State College by his parents, Royce and Judy Vincent. Scott's siblings include sisters Kimberly Vincent and Alisha Vincent.
From Bokoshe, Oklahoma, Scott Vincent joined the Marines shortly after high school graduation in 2000. He served his country as a proud Marine. He was assigned to the 2nd Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, II Marine Expeditionary Force, at Camp Lejeune, N.C. After the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, his unit was shipped to Afghanistan to secure Kandahar and later served in Iraq. While serving during Operation Iraqi Freedom, he was killed in action on April 30, 2004 at age 21.
"He was in his element, running around with a rifle with a bunch of guys," said Capt. Brent Bombach, Vincent's platoon commander in Iraq. "He was definitely at home." A fellow Marine stated Marine Cpl. Vincent died while acting as a scout, "the eyes and ears for our combat units."
Over 400 people attended Marine Cpl. Vincent's funeral at the Bokoshe High School gymnasium. Family and friends remembered Vincent as a young man whose passions included NASCAR, University of Oklahoma athletics and hunting, the latter of which he displayed on his camouflaged sleeves.
The Scott Vincent Memorial Scholarship will be awarded to a student who is a LeFlore County High School graduate, who has a minimum grade point average of 3.0, is working toward an associate's degree at CASC, and has military service or is a family member of a military veteran.
Mandy Roberts, CASC Foundation Director, stated that others may honor Scott with memorial contributions made payable to the CASC Development Foundation, 1507 S. McKenna, Poteau, OK 74953.

We live in a place that has long rainy Winters. But when the Summer comes it is glorious.
I crave those Summer days. All. Winter. Looong. And then all Spring long. And then all June long. Most years Summer doesn't arrive until after July 4. Then rainy Fall arrives October 1st without fail.
The thing is, despite the long wait for Summer, I don't want to live anywhere else. The reason is: I love the green.
I was walking in the rain today and realized: I've been ruined for the non-green. I don't think I could handle living without this glorious green! I think people who live other places are really missing out. But to have this kind of green, you must have rain. Ergo, my view of the rain has changed. I don't like it… but I guess I kind of love it.
It makes me think of my relationship with God. He's not a magic vending machine that dispenses perfect lives. He actually allows painful things to come my way. I don't like it… but I guess I kind of love it. I see the beauty He brings about in my life through these pains.
Just like the green of my city has ruined me for living anywhere else, the redemption of God in my life has ruined me for living any other way. I love being loved by Him. I love being His daughter. I trust Him. Yahweh is good. Yahweh is Love. He is powerful and sovereign. He is alive and in action. My God is the King of all things. He is my Savior and Father. Despite the rain and the pain, I don't want to live any other way.
Jesus was aware that his disciples were complaining, so he said to them, "Does this offend you? At this point many of his disciples turned away and deserted him. Then Jesus turned to the Twelve and asked, "Are you also going to leave?" Simon Peter replied, "Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words that give eternal life. We believe, and we know you are the Holy One of God." (John 6:61 & 66-69)
If I stopped following Jesus, to whom would I go? I'm totally ruined. And I love it.
How are you? I'd love to hear about your journey.
Want to read through the Bible with me? Today's readings are Psalm 67; John 9:1-41

1. we learnt how to get the protein sequence from different organism. This can be performed from website of MEROPS, search based on domain. Detection of domain is important towards the it's function.The examples of domain are Clpp and Lon. Once the organism being chosen, the protein sequence will be appeared. From the protein sequence, we can get the peptidase unit and the active site.
2.Then, move to website of National Centre of BioInformatics (NCBI)
NCBI::::> Sequence analysis::::>Protein Blast::::>BlastP
-fill the blank with protein sequence of organism
- click non redundant on database
- then click psi.blast before clicking BLAST
From the blast, we can get the domain, description and identity. Description and identity can be found on the allignment. Identity means that how much the similarity. In short, we do BLAST to search the similarity.
On 2nd week, Clustalx and Artemis had been used. Clustalx is meant for clustering all those protein sequences while Artemis is a sequence viewer and annotation tool.
1.Clustalx software
a.Wordwrap sequence in notepad
b. Clustalx:::>file:::>load sequence:::>choose sequence from file
complete alignment in order to aligned all the respective sequence.
≈ output : dnd (dendogram)…………..need TREEVIEW to view
aln (align all the sequence)………..can b viewed by micr.word also
~ Treeview is used to view the hierarcy of organism
2. Alignment:::>complete alignment:::> align
3. Website MEROPS:>organism:::>eg. Bulkholderia pseudomallei
-choose SJ –S16 (*SJ – clan, S16- family)…for Lon
-copy sequence in notepad
-repeat procedure for SK-S14…….for Clpp
4. Artemis v5:::>file::>open:::>BPs.dbs:::>choose certain sequence from notepad clpplonbp
~ Go to:::>navigator:::>paste that certain sequence in blank at find aa string
~ create:::>mark ORF in range
~ output appeared 3 sequence …..delete sequences without similarity
1 feature left: edit:::>trim selected feature to met
5.To find another sequence which may have similarity within the previous sequence
a) repeat all in step 4
b)CDS:::>edit::>edit selected feature:::>copy name from notepad eg. MER165606
c)paste and replace "none"…apply…ok
6. Website NCBI
a)BLAST:::>protein blast:::>copy paste sequence:::>choose database : pdb
b)Alignment 1st line: 1TYFA (* 1TYFA – ID of pdB):::>Open 1TYF
7. open website Protein Data Bank::::>search IRR9:::>download file:::>save FASTA, save pdb
PDB is for homology modeling where the amino acid sequence of a specific protein (target) is known, and the 3-D structures of proteins related to the target (templates) are known.
Eg . Clpp …..1TYF.pdb
Open file with RasWin…..~output: 3D structure
3D structure info: eg. Green color: helix, Yellow color: B-shape (straight)
only until here I can recall...plz correct me if there is mistake..

Veterans Peace Teams launched to stand with Occupy Movement
People of color, including Native Americans, African-Americans, Latinos, and working class communities in America have long been on the receiving end of police brutality.
Now with the recent police violence directed toward the Occupy movement, the country at large is waking up to the unpleasant reality that the violence of the system can and will target anyone who stands up for justice and opposes the exploitation of the 99 percent by the 1 percent.
The Veterans For Peace mission statement states that we pledge to work for peaceful conflict resolution and the elimination of war—the ultimate violence. As veterans of conscience, we are compelled to take a stand against police violence toward the national Occupy movement.
Veterans For Peace will establish Veterans Peace Teams to deploy to as many Occupy sites and actions as we can. We ask any and all military/law enforcement veterans to join us in this endeavor as nonviolent Veterans Peace Teams will attempt to act as mediators with the police, and as a buffer between Occupy protesters and police violence. Our goal is to protect constitutional rights and minimize conflict and injury to all involved.
Veterans For Peace stands with the Occupy movement as members of the 99 percent. We have taken an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Some of us have taken a similar oath as firefighters, government officials, and members of law enforcement. We therefore oppose any and all use of force by police against peaceful protesters exercising their right to peaceably assemble to seek redress of grievances as guaranteed by the First Amendment.
We also stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Tahrir Square and worldwide, standing up courageously, leading and often dying in the struggle for equality and justice as they are exposed to massive state-run police and military violence. We recognize that our common enemy is the wealthy power elite, those who control, ravage and exploit.
Excessive use of force by police toward those in the Occupy movement has led to arbitrary arrests, a fractured skull for one veteran and a ruptured spleen for another, near-asphyxiation and trampling of peaceful protesters and pepper-spraying of students sitting peacefully on a sidewalk obstructing nothing at all, among many abuses and injuries. Pepper spray, tear gas, bean bag projectiles, rubber bullets, tasers and other weapons—all of which can cause grave injury and death—have all been deployed against peaceful U.S. citizens.
This abuse of unarmed civilians exercising their constitutional First Amendment rights must cease.
As veterans and as citizens, we implore individual officers, police agencies, elected officials and government agencies to use restraint, negotiation and common sense when dealing with peaceful protesters. We will continue our efforts to convince law enforcement to avoid excessive force, brutality and injury to all involved. We also oppose the increased militarization of police agencies.
We invite law enforcement agencies to contact us to further communication and understanding. We seek to prevent deaths and additional injuries in domestic protests of governmental policies. We realize that those employed in law enforcement are part of the 99 percent, and we call upon all police personnel to honor and perform their duty to serve and protect the people—not to be a domestic front line force for the 1 percent.
