Why was this? The researchers hypothesise that "disgust" contorts the face in such a way as to minimize the chances of the disgust-provoking object getting into our bodies. The nose wrinkles, the mouth seals tightly and the eyes narrow significantly - all as if to keep the noxious stimulus out. If it's something you've just bitten that you're finding disgusting, the tongue will often shoot out, as if to eject the food.
"Fear", on the other hand, engenders just the opposite response, in an attempt to maximise the
amount of sensory information getting to the brain. In a fearful situation, you require as much knowledge as possible! Consistent with this parallel hypothesis, the eyes widen (expanding the visual fields) and flicker more effectively between targets. The nostrils and nasal passages also enlarge, allowing us to inhale larger volumes of air than usual. (Is it also coincidence that you may even take in a sudden involuntary gasp of air - perhaps to 'smell out' the situation even better?)
I think that this study conclusively shows that these two facial expressions, at least, were chosen for their adaptive evolutionary value (even if they no longer perform them much today). It answers one of the questions about our facial expressions: why does this constellation of muscle movements read "fear" (or "disgust") to us, and not that set of facial expressions? There is doubtless much more to be said on the broad topic though. Have a look here for a more extensive write-up of this interesting topic.

Considering Freelancing?
One of the reasons I love is teaching is to see how students evolve, progress and what they get up to after school. I haven't looked at too many stats and this is not great research on my part, but most students who were more "design" inclined went on to do more classes, while the coders took on jobs. However during the course o the class, all of them always ask about freelancing and setting up their own company.
I'm pretty lucky that I've been able to experience both. I worked as a barrista for a few weeks back in 2000 and worked at a startup until the 2001 dot bomb exploded prior to going to going back to school. Following my time at BCIT, I started freelancing right away, but took on a job after about a year, at a company (that shall remain nameless), for only 6 months. I liked the job at the startup a lot, although the smell of money being burned got a bit overwhelming at times, but the other 2 jobs, not so much.
Freelancing has definitely been the right move for me. But is it the right move for everyone? If you're considering a career as a freelancer, here are a couple of pieces that I think are worthwhile looking at.
Mike Monteiro, designer extraordinaire and author of Design is a Job (a must read for anyone, even non designers), wrote a great article a few months ago advising students to consider getting some experience before setting up their own firm. He makes a great case in point.
If you're still not convinced by Mike's argument and think to yourself that freelancing is the right path for you, you might want to check out Shane's Freelance Primer.
Just fill in your email and you will get access to his one hour presentation on the subject. In his presentation Shane covers the basics of starting a business, getting all the paperwork done, finding great people to work with, finding great customers, most common mistakes, etc… This video is a great resource for anyone starting out and diving into freelancing.

Tesco say there are "no job losses"
A spokesman for Tesco said: "It's wrong to say there are job losses – all the people at the three sites will be offered alternative roles at other Tesco sites. Plus, we are creating 2000 jobs at Reading and Dagenham.
"We will now have a period of consultation with colleagues and their representatives. We will do everything we can to support them at this time."
"We are opening two new distribution centres in Reading and Dagenham to create 1900 jobs in total."
150 jobs at risk at Telford company
More than 150 jobs are at risk at one of Shropshire's largest employers, GKN Land Systems.
The firm manufactures car chassis and frames and has confirmed that 153 temporary and permanent jobs are at risk fo being made redundant.
The job losses will not affect employees of GKN Wheels as they will come from the auto structure part of the business.
It comes after the firm which supplies for companies such as Ford, Toyota and Land Rover said it was facing a 'restructuring initiative' after losing some long-term contracts.
250 jobs go at Midlands car-leasing firm
250 jobs are to go at a car-leasing firm in the Midlands.
Drive Assist, which is based in Tamworth, Staffordshire were placed into administration earlier.
259 employees were made redundant with immediate affect.
Activities at Millenium Motor Group Limited, which is based at Nottingham AutoPark, will be affected. They sell ex-fleet vehicles.
The administrators were appointed as a result of the companies experiencing "considerable working capital management issues" and subsequent cash flow problems.
"Regrettably, 259 employees have been made redundant with immediate effect. We will be working alongside all stakeholders to determine the most appropriate next steps for the benefit of all creditors."
Alastair Beveridge, Administrator
175 job losses at Caterpillar factory in Desford
175 job agency workers have lost their jobs at the Caterpillar factory in Leicestershire according to union Unite.
Caterpillar, which makes machinery for the construction industry and has an assembly plant in Desford, blamed economic problems in the Eurozone and the United States for the job losses.
A spokesman from the company says a voluntary redundancy program has been launched.
"These actions have been shared with our employees and agencies that provide workers for our operations. In the near term, we expect these actions will decrease our workforce at Caterpillar Desford, although we do not have specific figures to share at this time." - Caterpillar Spokesperson
The news comes just two years after Caterpillar created 300 jobs in response to an increase in global demand.

Tuesday, November 20, 2012
Spring came, and I fell in love with the garden again, and I planted fruit trees. I started the work on the house, which went well up to a point, when I lost any energy for it, after a series of arguments with my father, who shares the mortgage on the house, and has been paying on it the last four years. I walked away from the house, longtime readers, and readers of my books, will recall, during the fall of 2008. I was hardly aware of the financial collapse, as I was in love, and recovering from Lyme disease. I lived with that woman and her kids, in Northern California and Wisconsin, the following two years, when we broke off the relationship and I returned to this house, which had been unoccupied all that time. That is when I started this blog, and expanded the garden. By mid-summer this year, it was clear to me that the house was not saleable to anyone but a speculator at a house-flipper price in a depressed market; and the garden had become like an enchanted place.
I couldn't go another winter without taking on the mortgage payment, and the Halloween store I managed in the fall of 2010 and 2011, had been sold to a buyer out-of-state, so I had to go looking for a job, which I haven't had, a nine-to-five or simulacrum, in four years, other than the Halloween store. I applied for about thirty jobs, went to one interview that didn't go well, skipped a dead-end one. The third interview, I almost skipped; which turned out to be serendipitous, and I am not one to ignore serendipity. They were vague, and somewhat cagey about the job, it being a high-class temp agency, but I would be working for a big bank, which I knew would make my father happy, and I could get there by bus after a one mile bike ride, in about 50 minutes after leaving my house. Not owning a car, and not wanting one, that was a positive (some people at big bank bus two hours each way.) It occurred to me though, the evening after the interview, restless in bed, that I might have been hired to foreclose on houses.
There was a three week gap between the time I was hired, and the start date. During that time, every single person I talked to about my concern, to a one, said, "it's a job." Not one person shared my concern, and while some of the people I spoke with are conventional, the majority are not. I was surprised. But then I am dubious about the vast majority of jobs. No one seemed very perturbed by the fact that I would be making less than I had been by the hour, working for my friend Organic Bob moving dirt around and landscaping, less than half I was making at that corporate job I had at the Behemoth in 2008, and only 25% what I was making during the housing boom, remodeling houses.
The DREAM JOB I had been angling for, I failed to be interviewed for, despite that I had a friend advocating for me inside. This, I chalk up to the fact that I failed to pursue the Masters and Doctorate I was being pushed to pursue by my Teachers, back in 2000, but I saw that I would be a fifth-tier Doctor with $150,000 in debt at 40, and besides, I felt the call of the wild. Too wild now, for a scholastic job writing and editing articles about solutions to environmental problems, evidently. So I took the one job I was offered, at big bank.
My concern was confirmed as accurate, day one, within ninety minutes. The trainer said the loans we would be working on were in default, that no one was living in those houses, that we would not be foreclosing on people. I liked him, and still do, but I suspected then and suspect now there is no reason to believe at all, that there aren't people in the houses on the loans we are foreclosing on. For myself, since then, every weekday but Veteran's Day, I awoke at five am to foreclose on houses for eight hours, to return home just under twelve hours later. The work has since proven to be more like prison work, than any job I've had, and I've worked in a foundry, and on 0-180 degree Fahrenheit flat roofs, roofing. My work now is to audit hundreds of on-line mortgage documents each day, most for loans that should never have been issued.
Still, the job has been a blessing in some ways. I'm paying the mortgage again, and I'm able to put money into the house, and the various projects around the garden I've long imagined, but had no resources or means to bring into being. The job may be set up like prison work, but there are no petty tyrants, none I have to deal with anyway. In fact, the people I work for directly are very reasonable, and the people I work with are like most people, mostly good. I've been able to listen to about 200 hours of old Terence Mckenna recordings. The job has also been a strong lesson in how wrong the housing bubble was for America, and how much fault does rest in average Americans, taking out loans that could only be paid off if the economy were to grow by 5%+ every year for the next several decades, and maybe not even then, with the systematic downward thrust of average wages, and decreasing good-paying jobs, climate change, resource constraints, et al. That, and a clear picture of how un-enlightened big bank is, as if the work I do is fit for humans. We are called "butts in seats, in the meat locker, or the morgue," I hear, trickling down from above. That may not sound like a blessing, those last two lines, but ever have I tried to pull back the veil of the ruling paradigm. :)
Not everyone is enamored of my work there. This is what one reader had to say, on the thread dedicated to this blog, in the Doomstead Diner, for members of the forum:
"Sorry, but IMHO working for one of the four big wall street banks is one of the most morally degrading things you can do at this time. Helping them instead of working to put them out of business? Being complicit with them is being complicit with what is wrong at the core. Anything but that. What is this called, " cognitive dissonance"? What is the use of saying or doing anything if you are going to do that?"
Another had this to say:
"you're a dime-a-dozen sellout but you're a first-rate poser. you're a stain on this place."
My role at big bank is one rung on a ladder as long as a DNA strand, though unlike DNA, those at each rung are largely ignorant of every other. It is a perfectly bureaucratic structure, big bank, though it ostensibly be a "private" business. It should also be said, big bank isn't "private", as it is sustained by free money from the Federal Reserve, which is socializing loses and privatizing the gains, at least until they destroy the dollar. The structure exists as it does, to provide plausible deny-ability for it's employees, giving them only the most scant responsibility for what is going on - just like every hierarchical Institution everywhere. Were we ever in contact with the actual "borrowers" whose loans we audit, the system wouldn't work, because that would be humanizing the work. As is, it is almost devoid, the process, of anything even resembling "humanity." And as you might imagine, most people working there show a singular lack of awareness about any of the deeper realities I try to elucidate in this blog.
Which, speaking of a lack of humanity, would the commenter's quoted above, feel free to walk into my department and declare such things before the throng? Of the 70+ people working in my department, about 20% are white. Predominant are people of African and Asian origin, first or second generation, and African-Americans. I am struck by the number of pictures of young children on computer screen-savers and backgrounds. Is it merely my knowledge that makes me a hypocrite, a sell-out and first rate poser? If so, what are these others, in their work-a-day ignorance in service to their families, in their culpability to the American dream made possible by vile imperialism?
When I was working as a manager of a Halloween store, I commented at length in this blog, and in my second book, on cheap Chinese crap, and the un-sustainability of crass American consumerism. When I was asked if I wanted to work in a Halloween store, by an old college friend, I said without hesitation, "fuck no!" At the time, I had just returned to Minneapolis, after Wisconsin, I had $80 and no job prospects of any kind. Immediately after that, I thought, he just offered me a job, I haven't seen him in five years, and I've been waiting for a sign. Working there, aside from being fun, and exhausting, made me not one whit more enamored of consumerism, not one whit less honest about what I think about it's prospects. Indeed, I have come to think of consumerism as a death-cult.
I am not a "moral" man. "Morality", such as it's practitioners hold forth righteously upon, is generally a construct over-laid reality, per-suppossing humans are inherently evil otherwise, or mere animals who would immediately proceed to consume each other, without said righteous tight asses lording over us. Whereas, I believe humans to a one, are profound, divine, innately good beings, inherently corrupted by degrees, by the cultural paradigms, morals, ideologies, dogmas, pollutants, programs and pogroms, designed to control life, for the benefit of the few at the expense of ALL. Not being a "moral" man, I am not restrained by absolutist rigidity, which both commenters above show in spades, IMHO, even though theirs is a minority opinion culturally, about things generally. Nuance, being a thing of truer understanding.
As for me having a "truer" understanding, I have also come to believe, that not a one of us on earth has anything like a "true" understanding, of what this life is really all about, though there are no shortage of people who claim to, be they hiding behind a gun, or bizness or gov or Religion or ideology or money or plain ol' vitriol. Here is some of my response, on the Diner.
I guestimate that of all the loans I've seen, about 80% of them were loans in excess of $300,000. I wade through the wreckage of greed mostly. How do I justify it? I am trying to do right by my house, which I like to say I bought twelve minutes before the market collapsed, and I'm still around really only because my niece and nephew live only a mile away. My entire life top to bottom is paradox, and you are free to make of me any kind of villain you like.
IMHO, I am exactly where I need to be, to accomplish the things I imagine. Think of it as an alchemical transmutation, wading through the economic wreckage as I am, reporting on my experience, to bring beauty and love into being? You might have some faith in me. I'm not asking much.
I would be a hypocrite if I did not document publicly, the things I do, and what I think about that, for free. I have two books available for free on my website, www.WilliamHunterDuncan.com. Also a novel I was working on until I was offered my current employment. I've written in my blog and one of my books, about planting marijuana on Federal, State and County land, here in the Twin Cities. I aim to live and write with integrity. I am the peace pirate Sir Vis, in service to the Goddess, former manager of the coolest Halloween store in the Midwest, who now finds himself under a mortgage ostensibly owned by the same big bank he now astoundingly finds himself working for, wading through the wreckage of the housing market. Meanwhile, learning skills that will be useful when big bank and the others like them fall. Which they will, as inevitably as the sun will rise tomorrow. Probably not tonight, but soon, very likely.
What possesses you to play the role [the commenter of the second comment listed] you do here, I don't know. We share a great deal, in our view of the world. You are on the right track about something though. Now is not a time for fearfulness. Terence Mckenna said, when asked what to do in the face of teotwawki, "flood the world with ART." Which is what I think about my writing, my garden, the things I build, and my life generally. And why I keep telling myself to follow through with the plan I see, to put together a band. Because what could be more important at the end of the world, than a joyful sound?
Thus I make no claims about the "morality" of what I do. Indeed, as to the actual work at big bank, there is nothing particularly honorable, interesting, or empowering about it. It is merely where I find myself, at this time, making the best of it, not to waste the opportunity.
And you, dear readers, are free to trust me, or make whatever judgement you like, however harsh. Though I don't recommend harsh moral rigidity as a way of being. Rather, I would have you embrace the mystery, of this very curious life, joyously, wherever you find yourself.

well said William. I understand where you are coming from more now than I would have even a few months ago. Certain things just have to be lived to truly understand them. I've always suffered from overwhelming idealism. I could have been that poster pointing the finger at you about your "hypocrisy." I'm certain that I have been from time to time.
Now I find myself getting back in line. Looks like I'll be signing back up for another round of masochism via pointless servitude to the hologram. WTF? It takes money to live. It's the only thing the hologram ultimately cares about...money. So Jan of 2013, a few days before I turn 33, I'll be starting school for EMT-P. It's not written in stone yet, but it might as well be. Of course this is pending teotwawki doesn't happen...I suppose anything is possible.
Don't know if you've read my last blog yet, but it's optimistic...at least I think. Thanks for being so honest. It's rare.

Always good to hear from you. I did see your blog, and commented. I trust it will work out for you. I have faith in you.
Idealism is good as far as it goes, except for the fine line between it and absolutism. Eager to hear more about the EMT thing.

I'm sure had these people who are criticizing you been around 1980 years ago they would have been the ones chastising Jesus for touching lepers, associating with prostitutes and tax collectors, and gleaning on the Sabbath.
As long as you don't let your job change who you are and what you believe, you are not a hypocrit. And hopefully you'll get to the point you don't need that job any more.

"American Idol" judge Steven Tyler drops by "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" on Tuesday, (Jan. 17), where he talks about his recent engagement, telling his bandmates about joining "Idol" and his two years of sobriety.
Steven on his engagement to Erin Brady:
Ellen: How did you know that she was the one?
Steven: The first time I saw her…she worked for Clear Channel so she was paying the band. And I didn't notice her and one night she had on this hair band on around her head. She looked really old fashion…So I took her back in the room and she tied me up with it and I thought I'm marrying this girl. Exactly that way [laughing].
Ellen: So it's just a scarf around the head for you. That's what does it?
Steven: Yes, it's the imagery and how deep one can get into it…
Ellen: Of what the scarf is going to be later on.
Steven: I play it out….Yes…Yes…
Steven on how he told his bandmates he joined "American Idol":
Ellen: Did you tell them (Aerosmith) first? Or did they find out after?
Steven: No, I didn't tell them. A band is like a… It's not women. It's men. It's a different world. We keep a lot to our selves. Don't often tell the truth. I fell off the stage doing a ZZ Top (song)… We didn't speak to each other for the longest time. So I went away to Betty Ford to fix the shoes that helped me slip. By the way, two years sobriety.
Ellen: Good for you.
Steve: No excuse for it. Just hard living on a tale of a comet and coming down all the time. But I came back from that and I just took this job. And, they were like an old girlfriend, right. Why didn't you tell me first? And that kind of crap.
Ellen: But now they have to be happy for you?
Steven: They're very happy.
Steven on his sobriety:
Ellen: So two years sober. Do you think it's like anybody else? It just happens to be the right time? Is there a reason that it took this time? How many times have you been in rehab?
Steven: Probably 5, 6.
Ellen: And, this time, what do you think it took?
Steven: You never know if it takes. I have program. I got all my friends that are sober now. What it is…It's euphoric recall. You hear music and you can get so high and the curtain comes down. It's no different then doing a bump. It's the same thing and that's why it is so dangerous for me. I can't get back into that world. I can stay high on stage and stay high.. I mean out here with you right now my hearts pounding. Hearing you guys (the audience) roar. This what I live for today. But you never know if it's going to stick. I just keep with my program, wish and hope …
Steven: …I don't want to go back to that place, if that's what you are talking about. That place lost me, my kids, a marriage, a band. A lot of things and it's for real. That's how dangerous that is. So I take it serious.

WTS Instant queue 200g PST
So how many people have seen people either buying or selling instant queues in trade? Its a growing trend, and one that I absolutely detest.
Now, how many times have you zoned into a heroic, and instantly seen the tank (or healer occasionally) instantly drop group. Many people attribute this to not wanting to do a particular heroic, but what if you looked up that player, and they came from the same server as someone else from your group.
Coincidence? I think not. Assuming that all US English speaking realms are in a joint pool for LFD, there are 238 realms. The chance of 2 people coming from the same realm is somewhat… low, apparently about 2.5%. Then on top of that, what is the chance that they decided to, innocently, drop for whatever reason? That the person who did drop is the tank? There aren't many reasons to drop, you don't like the instance… and thats about it. How many of these tanks are actually tanks? What if you looked up the 'tank' up on the armory, and they weren't actually a tank? A fury/arms warrior perhaps? Are they still to be assumed innocent?
If your interested, the realms are broken down as following;
12 Oceanic realms
72 Pacific
12 Mountin (wth is mountain? silly US people)
74 Central
68 Eastern
These numbers were (annoyingly) counted from the wowwiki realm list.
So what does this phenomenon actually do?
First of all, theres the most obvious, when someone drops out first thing occasionally the group will just fall apart. Hello new 40 minute wait.
The second, more subtle, but as far as I'm concerned its far more annoying. With these people choosing to cut the line as it were, they are artificially inflating the DPS queue time.
Picture back (or in if you happen to that age) in college (by colllege I mean the school you do from about 13-18, whatever that is called in the US), the lunch line. What if people could pay that annoying prefect $5 to skip the line? Now you would have to wait for the line + people paying $5. Your time you have to wait goes up, its now the original wait + people who pay. This is exactly what is happening in wow with the DPS queue times. I have to wait through the 'natural' queue time (say 30 minutes) and the time for everyone 'jumping' the line, say 10 minutes, to come to our actual queue time of 40 minutes, and then we have to wait another up to 5 minutes on top of that for a new tank. Do.Not.Want.
In fact with 10 man raid groups becoming ever more prevalent, there should be more tanks and healers all around. Typically the ratios of people available in specific roles for 5mans were driven by 25mans raids. There were far less tanks than there were DPS. In a average 25man you had a ratio of 1:2:5 roughly of tanks:heals:dps, while 10mans maintain a balance more like 1:1.5:2.5 (or with 2 healers 1:1:3, perfect!). Tanks were in less demand for raiding in previous expansions, so there were less to go around for 5man groups, that is changing, so why haven't the queues changed to reflect that?
How wide spread is this instant queue selling phenomenon? I don't honestly know, and I doubt anyone does. But how many times have you zoned into heroics only to have either the tank or healer instantly drop? What if 99% of those times were people dropping because they had fulfilled their job of shortening that DPS's queue, and made a quick 200g in the process?
I'm now getting to the stage where if I ask you, and you admit to it, I'm going to try and vote kick you, if I'm really having a bad day and it looks like you've paid for the queue maybe I'll just try to vote kick you anyway. I'll look the tank up and do my due diligence, consider it done if they don't actually have a tank spec.
Perhaps I'm just bitter from that day when I ended up going through 3 40 minute queues (ok, theres no maybe about it, I'm bitter) because someone decided to leave, and then the group fel apart. But what do they care? The healer just has to sit through another 4 minute queue, and one of he guilty people will pay for another instant queue. The tank is happy, hes going to come away with 400g for the day for 2 instant queues, and the 2 DPS who get shafted? Moar 40 minute queues.
If I were to step back for a minute, and make a suggestion for blizzard.I would suggest adding in some detection for people who constantly drop group upon entering a instance, and perhaps find a way to penalize them. Perhaps reduce the valor point return for the random dungeon, or just prevent them from queuing up in a group. The latter idea seems the best, the former wouldn't actually hurt anyone who didn't need/want valor points, however the latter blocks them from continuing the trend, but won't actually prevent them from gaining gear through valor points.
January 19, 2011 at 9:51 am
I understand your pain even though I do not experience it since I refuse to PUG at all. I would rather do dailies or even just fish than run a complete PUG.
The reason there are still long long lines for the general PUGger is that even though the ratio is more 1:1:3 with all the 10 mans those that are in the 10 mans now will not Tank a PUG. You still have your mass sea of DPS, some of which Feral,Arms,Fury,Ret should man up and L2Tank if they want to bitch about queue times. Now as a Warlock I know you don't have that option without rolling an alt.
Also on top of it we have had the base level difficult of all dungeons cranked up to the point that you have to overgear the damn thing to not worry about CC as much and even then sometimes you HAVE to CC.
In the end for Tanks and Healers PUGging is too much damn work and pain for a pitiful little reward of 70JP or VP for only the first one of the day.
January 19, 2011 at 1:01 pm
Hrm, yeah, I'm with psynister, I think it would really help if the deserter debuff got longer the more often you dropped group. Not quickly enough to deter someone getting out of a group full of abusive cockmonkeys, but quickly enough that if you're selling queue times, you'll eventually find the wait too long for the profit.

Did you know that your partial could be putting your natural teeth at risk? Poor cleaning and pressure on neighboring teeth can contribute to further tooth loss. That's why we've developed two new products especially for partial wearers.
Poligrip® Seal & Protect Denture Adhesive and Polident® Clean & Protect Denture Cleanser are specially formulated for partials so you can feel confident you're doing all you can to keep your partial clean and protected.
It's important to have a good oral care routine that doesn't get in the way of living life to the fullest.
Just one or two small dabs of Poligrip® Seal & Protect adhesive stabilizes your partial denture and helps create a snug, firm yet comfortable fit to reduce movement against your gums and the teeth next to your partial. It also helps seal out irritating particles of food to help reduce gum irritation.
Brushing your partial with regular toothpaste may scratch it and some denture cleansers may corrode metal clasps so it's important to use a special cleanser. Polident® Clean & Protect contains a corrosion inhibitor to help keep the metal parts of your partial protected. The unique formula also releases active oxygen to help kill 99.9% of odor-causing bacteria.
It may be tempting to keep your partial in your mouth, to clean it with your natural teeth, but instead, to clean your partial properly, you should remove it every day and use a specially formulated cleanser to ensure thorough cleaning. Always follow the instructions on the pack.
Special Care
The following good 4-step oral care routine can help you keep your partial in shape and also help protect your natural teeth:
- Brush your natural teeth twice daily with fluoride toothpaste
- Clean your partial denture daily with NEW Polident® for Partials Clean & Protect cleanser
- Use NEW Poligrip® for Partials Seal & Protect denture adhesive to help stabilize your partial
- Visit the dentist regularly (every 6 months)
Be proactive
Protecting your natural teeth
Wearing a partial can put extra stress on neighboring natural teeth. If it is not held securely in place it can apply pressure to the adjacent teeth, possibly causing them to move. This could increase the risk of losing more teeth. Less movement means less risk to natural teeth. Poligrip® Seal & Protect adhesive helps stabilize your partial and reduce potential problems in the future.
Polident® Clean & protect has been specially formulated for partial dentures. A clean partial may help reduce the risk of gum irritation helping to protect your healthy natural teeth as part of a good oral care routine.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho brushed aside rumours that the Blues are set to make another bid for Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney this month, as reported by Sky Sports.
United turned down a sizable bid from Chelsea in the summer and Rooney has since thrived in a side that is struggling to find any real form.
The England man is currently on holiday and will not face Swansea tonight, but the 28 year old could return against Chelsea next week.
Mourinho was not willing to discuss Rooney, so obviously he went on to discuss Rooney, and the Blues boss says the ball is in United's court now although money has not been discussed.
"I don't want to speak about it," Mourinho said.
"We play Man United in a few days. I don't think it's nice to speak about a Man United player.
"You have to ask him (Rooney). You have to ask the player.
"And Man United because Man United has a contract with the player that doesn't end at the end of the season."

As I've discussed before, I find special beauty in aging flowers. I photographed these tulips at the height of their blossoming glory and again, as shown here, at the end of their lives. These aged tulips have poetry. They fling themselves open with grace, crumple with dignity. Their color, texture, and posture all intrigue. They kind of break my heart, which is probably a sign that I am too sensitive because they are, after all, only flowers.

Cancer marches in
takes up residence in my mind
and my heart
and my body
takes a breath
puts one foot in front of the other
does the next right thing
Priorities are over-rated
Treatments rally
soldiers in an assembly line
Slice, dice, chop, drop
poke, prick, zap, drip, pop
poison, rinse, swish, swallow
carve a hollow
space for time
this now on a rhythm
of its own
Schedules are over-rated
Take a number
effects exceed
any and all anticipations
cast asunder, scrambling
against a slow and steady
relentless trickster
pounding, overwhelming
Drugs are over-rated
Saddle up
thus begins the wild ride
crashing, burning,
Sensation is over-rated
Taste is over-rated
Hair is over-rated
Sleep is over-rated
Huddle up
Hunker down
look these two familiar strangers in the eye
& recognize them for the imposters that they are
abandon the myth of equal exchange of services
Ask for help
Accept it
Express gratitude and mean it
Be honest
refuse the seductions of bravery
awkward moments
pep talks
feigned interest & worse
Collaboration is over-rated
Cancer marches in
takes up residence in my mind
and my heart...
and my body learns
new "tolerances"
Euphemisms are over-rated

Treatments over for now. Waiting news on the CT scan sometime next week. Feeling hopeful....ReplyDelete
thanks for all the good vibes
My first wife survived. My second wife didn't. She thought it was over-rated and waited too long. Glad you're not making the same mistake even if it is living hell for the moment. Hang tough. We'll see you on the other side. Sending good vibes your way.ReplyDelete
I'm with Mr.C aboveReplyDelete
Keep on writing it out - stoicism is overrated
Mr. C. -- thank you for sharing these deeply personal disclosures. I am hanging tough and appreciate the good vibes.ReplyDelete
Garth-- amen. I may have to steal that line for my next one!! stoicism is overrated. I will indeed keep writing it out. thanks for the support.
H---The time will come and answers with it. May they be the good ones. You have put yourself through this parade formation of marching to someone elses drummer.ReplyDelete
WM--good insight; it has been a time line, a pace and an array of "activities" organized and implemented by the guys and gals in the white coats. Although I have to say that my oncology team have been quite amazing. Thanks for the visit and the sentiment.ReplyDelete
Reaching for some kind of concrete truth is over-rated. In my two heart attacks, I bemusedly watched them all a flutter. I was calm and waiting for the next thing. I would have gone willingly wherever.ReplyDelete
Loving you, dear Harlequin.
Christopher-- so wonderful to receive sentiments like this... right from the heart. loving sentiments back to you.ReplyDelete

Caillou isn't Afraid Anymore is an episode from Season 1. It was the first episode that Mr. Hinkle appeared in.
Caillou is outside and is scared about Mr. Hinkle's house because a lot of kids say theat there is a scary ghost in it. Caillou then runs to Caillou's Mommy but she tells him that there is nothing to be afarid of. Caillou then goes back to looking at Mr. Hinkle's house. Mr. Hinkle then comes out and says hello to Caillou and Caillou runs inside. Mr. Hinkle is sad that Caillou ran away.
Soon Caillou's Mommy and Mr. Hinkle come to Caillou's room but he has hidden in the closet with Gilbert. They then look across the hall. Caillou and Gilbert go and hide in the living room behind the curtins. Mr. Hinkle comes downstairs but doesn't see Caillou. Caillou and Gilbert then hide in the kitchen closet and Mr. Hinkle realizes that it is the only place that Caillou can be. Caillou has now forgotten about being afarid of Mr. Hinkle and they become friends and start another game of hide and seek.
- Caillou hides in a big closet in the kitchen but the wall backs right up to the hallway (not even half a meter away) and the door to the closet is on the wall , so it's impossible to have a big closet like that between the kitchen and the hallway ! It was probably big from Caillou's point of view.
- When the Narrator said "Mr. Hinkle's House sure looks Spooky.", There's a Black frame on the Background.
- This is the first episode where Daddy and Rosie are absent.

"Alcatraz" is one of the most highly anticipated series of the season — and with good reason, particularly given the pedigree of producer J.J. Abrams and "Lost" alum Jorge Garcia. The show's two-hour Monday debut set up an intriguing blend of a procedural mystery-of-the-week premise and an overarching mystery.
The show revolves around the idea that when Alcatraz shut down in 1963, its inmates and guards weren't transferred — they disappeared. Sam Neill plays Emerson Hauser, a fed who was once a guard. He missed the big disappearance and has been looking for answers ever since. As the inmates begin to reappear in 2012, he's joined by San Francisco Det. Rebecca Madsen (Sarah Jones), and graphic novel writer and Alcatraz expert Diego Soto (Garcia).
At his side is also Lucy Banerjee (Parminder Nagra). Banerjee, who is shot by a former inmate and enters a coma, is revealed to have a deeper connection to Alcatraz than we thought. A twist at the end of Episode 2 shows Banerjee working in Alcatraz as a psychiatrist.
"She's one of the keys [to figuring out the mystery], I think, not [the] key," E.P. Daniel Pyne told critics at the recent press tour. "What we're hoping to do is balance. It's not really a serialized show. It's a show with a great mythology where every week we catch another bad guy and it's kind of holographic. There's a world that exists that is — as Rebecca and Hauser and "Doc" move through it, they begin to understand it and put the pieces together… I don't think it's ever been done before. I don't think this kind of storytelling has been done on television before, and it's really exciting."
Did you find that the first two episodes of "Alcatraz" delivered what the hype promised? Will you be tuning in for the future episodes? Drop us a line in the comments below and fill us in on what you loved, what you didn't love, and what questions you're hoping to have answered.

Add button to a viewThe first thing we need to do is add a button to a view, to be able to create an output document. This action is already explained in one of our previous blogs.
Add buttons to view
The output could be a document created by an Adobe Form. Unfortunately for you we will not describe how to create forms and how to generate output, after clicking the button in the CRM Webclient. Plenty of blogs could be written on that topic. For now we assume that a PDF document is created, after clicking the button, and that it can be viewed by calling the correct URL.
Store link to output documentOnce the output is created we need to store it's location. For that purpose, in the controller class of the view, we create an attribute to save the URL.
This attribute is filled in the event handler of the button.
Now that we added the button, created the output document, stored it's location (URL), the final step is to directly open the URL. For that purpose we need to enhance the .htm page of the view and add a piece of ABAP/JavaScript.
Open the URL
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
IF controller->gv_quotation_url IS NOT INITIAL .
window.open ("<%= controller->gv_quotation_url %>","<%= sy-uzeit %>");
clear controller-> gv_quotation_url.
Once the button is clicked, the action is performed and the page is refreshed, so the views .htm page is called. Here we check if a URL is stored in the controller class. If so, we open a window and view the document. Finally we clear the controller's attribute again, to avoid calling the URL each time the page is displayed. You might notice the addition "sy-uzeit" within the "window.open" statement. This is to make sure that the window we open is unique. Otherwise calling the same URL will not open a new window again.

Her Majesty the Queen, crowned in her best blue hat, mentioned a few things for the tech industry in her speech including promises of a new UK data protection law and digital charter.
Brexit dominated the speech and observers noted the fact that a few of the key Tory's manifesto pledges such as a return to fox torture and expanding grammar schools had been removed. However, technology was also a recurring theme in the speech.
"A new law will ensure that the United Kingdom retains its world-class regime protecting personal data, and proposals for a new digital charter will be brought forward to ensure that the United Kingdom is the safest place to be online", the Queen said.
This means that a UK-specific GDPR is on the way and this could have a significant impact on the Channel who will welcome it the same way as they would a rabid dog.
Theresa May wanted to establish an international framework which is similar to those for banking and trade is expected to include proposals for closer scrutiny and regulation of certain activities online, chiefly of extremist material or content that is abusive or harmful to children.
This means that despite government claims to want a free and open internet, these proposals will drown tech companies in red tape.
The Queen also said that her government will bring forward proposals to ensure that critical national infrastructure is protected to safeguard national security.
"A commission for countering extremism will be established to support the government in stamping out extremist ideology in all its forms, both across society and on the internet, so it is denied a safe space to spread," she said.
This might be more welcome as cyber security breaches cost businesses almost £30bn last year and small firms, are accelerating investment in security technologies to protect themselves and their customers from threats online.

It never goes away.
The anxiety that is.
You just get more used to it. More comfortable with it.
You accept it. Acknowledge it. Invite it to come play with you.
You can't banish it, or exile it or leave it outside. Nothing can contain it.
So you allow it to exist.
The most difficult part is knowing that in order to overcome fear, you must be willing to face it dead on. There's no way around it. It's like exercise. Sure, you can get a lap band. But that ain't gonna help you. You need to feel that anxious pain in the pit of your stomach. You need to feel those sweaty palms and swarming butterflies. You need to push past all that and just keep walking. The funny part is that the solution is so easy, so simple, so blindingly obvious. And yet we create these mountains of mental hurdles in order so that we don't really face this fear.
Fear isn't only what's killing us. It's not only what is keeping us isolated and afraid. Fear is what is keeping humanity from evolving into the best versions of ourselves.
If you're like me then you know that struggling with this anxiety isn't easy stuff. It's depressive. Suicidal. And mean. You think your whole life revolves around not being able to achieve what you want because of it. It's like some malignant disease or a cancerous tumor. You can't see it, but oh how it weighs you down and holds you back.
Sometimes I think to myself if it's possible that the greater the anxiety in a person, the more epic their unrealized vision is. Perhaps this is false expectation or narcissism or both. Or perhaps I just really want to believe that I have a greater purpose on this planet than stocking shelves or washing cars or taking orders.
I don't want to believe that. I do believe that.
I think there are some of us on this planet whom the anxiety is hitting so strong that it forces us to radically re-examine our lives and re-define how we're living. Hitting us with so much force that there's no choice except to dive under and go deep. Real deep. Like to the parts of the ocean floor we've never seen before.
You must go forward. There is no turning back. People laugh at you because they are afraid. They're simply releasing tension. That's good. But this battle ain't for them. This enemy won't simply break your bones or slit your throat. This enemy will swallow you whole. Consume you alive so that you will be left blinking in the dark belly of a Beast where there are no walls or light switches to find your way out.
The only thing that will save you is becoming the greatest version of yourself.
Because truthfully, that's who you really are.

Planning a move to the UK? The latest employment statistics from the Labour Force Survey show estimated employment of EU nationals (excluding British) living in the UK was 2.0 million in October to December 2015, 215,000 higher than the same quarter last year. The UK is a great place to live and work, but before you make the move you'll need a few pointers.
Here's how to get ahead when planning a move to the UK.
National insurance
If you want to work in the UK you will need to have a National Insurance number (NI number). Most people working in the UK have to pay NI contributions however, there are some exceptions. Have a look here for more information.
When you work in the UK as an employee you will pay income tax, along with your national insurance, through a system called PAYE. If you are self-employed you will need to complete a tax return and pay any taxes you owe at the end of the tax year.
If you are coming to the UK to study, but also plan on working whist you are here you will also need to pay income tax and NI, but only if you earn enough money. Check out the UK Council for International Student Affairs for more information.
For short stay accommodation consider the YHA (this is also a good shout if you are looking for an affordable holiday). They are usually in great locations around the UK including in London and they can be great places to meet others.
Hostels not really your thing but still need somewhere to stay urgently? Consider Airbnb for a week or so, it will be more costly than the YHA but you can find somewhere quickly near where you need to be.
Rental agencies
Consider this option if you are looking for a flat or a house for a longer stay in the UK, but it's not cheap. You will normally need to fill out application forms and pay a holding deposit to secure the property (take the property off the rental market). You may also be asked to pay one month rent upfront as a deposit and your first month's rent in advance.
You are definitely going to need access to your money whilst in the UK, but getting a bank account is not as straightforward as you might think. You often need to have a proof of address (usually at least 3 months worth of utility bills in your name) and you may need other identifying documents. With Monese you only need your smartphone and your passport or national i.d to open a UK current account. You will receive a UK sort code and account number which you can give to your employer so you can get paid. You will also receive your own contactless Visa Debit card which can be used in all Visa outlets. Get yours here.

Couples who are planning for a wedding probably the following question, "Do I need to hire a marriage planner?" Actually it end up being very enjoyable to plan the wedding yourselves. Some may think that a relationship planner is just someone who wants to get some dough out of their pockets and they'll plan wedding on extremely.
When selecting from the wedding venues London available you need to consider numerous guests who'll be attending the ceremony along with the reception. There isn't any likely for plenty folks from each side of your family so be sure to get last number of attendees as this has a bearing on what pleases venue as well as the catering arrangements.
Men in suits are soaked in sweat, also as the women can't hide the dark splotches under their limbs. The ceremony is rushed, the special couple share a sweaty kiss and you head away and off to the reception.
"Beside the world's famous Red Rock Mountains" – Will it be surreal to generate your wedding having serves Canyon when your backdrop? Keep in mind yes! Possess a pick in any of the available hotels that nestle around the Grand Canyon and permit it to be faster for it's a blockbuster wedding venue for all time. Why? It gives the true a sense a Las vegas wedding for them is supplement can really place is acknowledged for.
Employ a child minder: If you desperately want to have a ball at this wedding, you should think of hiring a youngster minder for your evening. Now i'm not nevertheless you require leave infant in hotels with a stranger in a foreign u . s .. I'm suggesting that you employ a babysitter may take proper care of your daughter or son with you at marriage ceremony. Ask your hosts provided you can purchase dinner for her (this will typically often be a lower-priced, "menu service"- the meal that the dj, photographer, etc., is served behind-the-scenes.) Also, check there are any other parents who may in order to split each month and cost with you actually. Most hotel concierge services in Paris is likely to arrange an English-speaking child minder for you, or you can try Babychou, a Paris-based babysitting agency.
Be positive that your wedding ceremony has plenty on non-alcoholic beverage options and involving food. While it's perfectly acceptable on your own own wedding day to have a little more alcohol than you usually do, talk to your every guest you invited driving home drunk. It's dangerous cannot do this because something you need to deal with on your wedding.
Once the engaged, you probably should start making your plans absent because venues, food, officials and even wedding cars get booked quickly. Conditional upon your event, you might need wedding transport that is classic or modern. Cars such as the Rolls Royce or a Bentley would go well with an elegant wedding variety. On the other hand, a horse and cart would go great the over-the-top princess style wedding experience. The type of wedding care hire you end up receiving will be based on private preferences.
If own any issues on time you must notify the venue provider, deco services provider or catering services provider suitable. If you feel you been recently provided poor service or support and when you are not satisfied, then file your complaint and for a replica of their complaints procedure and follow the procedure.

Monaca, Pa -- The Penn State Beaver women's basketball played host to the women of Penn State Greater Allegheny for the team's final conference game this season. The stakes were high coming into this game as Beaver needed to win this one in order to clinch the second seed and a first round bye for the PSUAC playoffs. Looking to be at the top of their game in their last matchup, the Lady Lions came into their senior night confident that they would win this one and do it in impressive fashion.
Beaver came out with a lot of momentum to start off the game, getting the crowd roaring within the first few seconds. Beaver jumped out to an early lead right off the bat, playing with a lot of energy and building momentum with every point scored in the first quarter. At the midway point of the quarter, Beaver had jumped out a 13-5 lead thanks to the efforts of all three Beaver seniors who were the only ones to score in the first 5 minutes of play. Beaver continued to roll with their lead, as they ended the first quarter with a 22-15 lead. Greater Allegheny came out in the second quarter looking to cut Beaver's lead, as they managed to stop their momentum for the first half of the second quarter. However, Beaver managed to rally back through this and continued to dominate offensively as they built a 47-32 lead going into halftime.
The second half was controlled by Beaver, as they had the game securely in their hands through the third and fourth quarters. The team came out playing to put the game away in the third quarter, shooting 66% from the field as they doubled Greater Alleghney's rebounds. The women continued to build up their lead, and when the fourth quarter started they found themselves up 73-50. Beaver kept cruising in the fourth quarter, as they were able to put up 28 points on Greater Allegheny, as they finished off their senior night with a big win to clinch a first round bye with a final score of 101-61.
Beaver's win tonight puts the team iat second place in the PSUAC standings, giving them a first round bye with a conference record of 12-2 this season. The team was led in their senior night matchup by all three of their senior stars. Forward Cassandra Flowers (Pittsburgh, PA / Westinghouse) put up a double-double with 24 points and 10 rebounds, Forward Asia Borders (Ellwood City, PA / Lincoln) led the team in scoring with 27 points, and Guard Mason Depetro (Pittsburgh, PA / Cornell) led her offense while tallying a team high 9 assists.
The team has finished their regular season coference play and will head into the PSUAC playoffs with a first round bye. The team will play their final regular season game before the start of playoffs on Monday, February 13, against Pitt-Titusville at home. Game time is set for 6 pm.

World Vision and the New Zealand Government today launched the Ranu Bona Mauri Hanuabada Namona Gaukarana (Water and Healthy Life) Project at Hanuabada Village.
This will be PNG's first Urban WASH project in one of the most iconic locations in the country – the Big Village.
The project will fall under the responsibility of Stella within the POM Programme. Caroline will work closely with the project team to support implementation, in particular advocacy and relationship building as well as grant compliance. Sonia will be the technical lead for the project.
Through funding of USD 1,536,841, the project is expected to improve the health of more than 17,950 people (2,500 households) over a four year period by increasing access to safe drinking water, improving hygiene and sanitation behaviour in Hanuabada, in urban Port Moresby. The project will use the government's Healthy Island Concept to build social capital and create linkages between the community and government services to address water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) needs. The project will improve solid waste management, connect households to reliable, cost-recovered safe water, drive hygiene behaviour change within households and schools, and facilitate stakeholders to develop a feasible, costed proposal to connect the community to Port Moresby's sewer system.
Expected outputs of the project include:
1. Effective community-based solid waste management system developed and implemented. Activities under this output include two major clean-ups.
2. Hygiene promoted through Healthy Island Concept (HIC) and public awareness programs.
3. School WASH improved through facility repairs/upgrade and Behavour Change Communication.
4. Transparent and cost-recovered water supply system established.
5. Sanitation upgrade study completed and latrines project.
Hanuabada's 'Golden Children' Dika Toua and Steven Kari both attended the launch event to welcome the project on behalf of their community. Other guests included Guest of Honour New Zealand High Commission representative Rachel McCarthy, special guest appearance Lady Carol Kidu, partners Kila Mala (PNG Olympics Committee), Dr Waetai and Dr Morimai Ipai (NCD Health), Matt Dyer (Pacific Rim), Ryley Webster (Sustainable Coastlines), Anthony Hoyal (Curtain Brothers), Mr. Dai Boe (Eda Ranu), Graig Mecklem (KCH), Toua Kohu and Motu Koita Assembly's Michael Gari and other Councillors, Hanuabada community.
Hanuabada's own Dika Toua took the opportunity to urge everyone to pull up, do better and do what they can to improve the outlook of the community. Lady Kidu reminded those present of the historical significance of Hanuabada and high profile the village used to be during early days of the PNG governance days. Lady Kidu hoped this would be a project that would be replicated in other Motuan villages over time because it is important. World Vision's PNG Operation Manager Stella Rumbam said with cleanliness comes the whole health of the community and that is important for the organisation. Mrs Rumbam said even with water infrastructure is nothing if families do not keep simple health and sanitation practices and that for World Vision, health and sanitation are as important as having access to clean water.

To the Editor:
I read the statements the Savage family made in the Northwest Herald ("Cary couple still frozen out," Feb. 22).
Why is that story so important to be placed in a prominent location in the paper? Do the people who have ownership of a home have no responsibilities for the upkeep of their homes? And if something goes wrong, which is their responsibility in this case, why do they have to criticize a community such as Cary?
Cary's water department is one of the best in McHenry County. Those workers provide exceptional service and will assist anyone at any time. Even in extreme weather conditions.
Did Mr. Savage at least try to prevent this type of situation beforehand? There were sufficient warnings provided by the village of Cary.
With home ownership comes responsibility. Otherwise, go rent a home, and the responsibilities will revert to the lessor.
My sympathy goes to Mr. Savage and his family, especially with a 2-year-old child in the home. But does he really believe that the village of Cary has to change the laws of the village due to his misfortune of having this happen to him in a situation of an extreme weather-related condition?
Is this not normally called an act of God?
Sir, please do not disrespect the efforts of the village because of an unfortunate situation in your area of responsibility.

That Crazy Little ThingKate Bracy
Dystel & Goderich Literary Management (2013)
Reviewed by Paige Lovitt for Reader Views (9/13)
Article first published as Book Review: 'That Crazy Little Thing' by Kate Bracy on Blogcritics.
In "That Crazy Little Thing" by Kate Bracy, when Melanie Davis discovers that her best friend Donna has a life-threatening illness, her whole world is rocked. Trying to deal with being a divorcee and a single mom of a challenging teenage daughter already adds a lot of drama to her life. While she is there for Donna, she also discovers a devastating secret about Donna's past. Having known her since they were young, she is really shocked when this truth is revealed.
One thing that Melanie does share with her daughter is her love for Donna. Enlisting her daughter's help to find answers for Donna helps unite them. Their relationship still endures many challenging trials, but this is one area where they can feel connected. Donna's lively brother also has a secret that he has been keeping, and as the story unfolds his secret becomes obvious and adds something very positive to the story.
As Melanie is trying to hold everything together, she continues to work for a doctor who also has a huge secret from his past. Intrigued by this mystery and the woman involved, Melanie enlists Donna's brother to help her privately access information so that she and Donna can follow his story.
While the women discuss all of the different dramas that have evolved around them and the people close to them, they realize the true value of friendship, loyalty and love. The common theme throughout "That Crazy Little Thing" is love. Different types of love are experienced. While I found the story incredibly absorbing, I also found myself relating these themes to my own life. Life is short, as seen in this novel, and we are reminded how important it is not to waste our lives on "what ifs?" I was also reminded never to let an opportunity pass when I have a chance to tell someone who is important to me, that I love them. Everything can change in an instant. It is incredibly important not to find ourselves living with regrets because we didn't let someone know how much he or she means to us.
"That Crazy Little Thing" by Kate Bracy tells a story that will totally captivate your attention. You will also find it thought provoking. Because of this, I think it would be a great selection for a reader's group. There will be many interesting discussions generated from discussions about this novel. This book is so well written, I am amazed that this is the first book for this author. I hope that she continues to write, especially about these characters!

Upon loss of existing tissue integrity, wound closure is critical for maintenance of the protective epidermal barrier that shields the host from environmental insult and prevents water loss. An essential, initial response during wound repair is the influx of circulating leukocytes that cleanse the wound and also provide activators and growth factors to stimulate fibrogenesis and neovascularization. Members of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family, such as MMP3, are potential key regulators of leukocyte infiltration. MMP3 is upregulated in the epidermis during processes undergoing tissue remodeling. Mice which are null for MMP3 have delayed closure of excisional wounds and demonstrate reduced infiltration of leukocytes in a number of model systems. Furthermore, we find that MMP3-/- animals have an increased sensitivity to SCC progression that is associated with a reduction in neutrophil and macrophage infiltration evident throughout all stages of tumor progression. Based upon these observations, we propose that MMP3 regulates a protective host defense response during wound repair that is reflective of a protective, antitumorigenic response during SCC. A number of molecules known to affect immune cell function can be directly targeted for hydrolysis and release by MMP3 or matrix proteinases which are activated by MMP3. We hypothesize that MMP3, in combination with other matrix proteinases, directly enhances leukocyte extravasation that subsequently influences the wound repair process. Leukocyte infiltration into sites of inflammation requires the coordinate regulation of multiple steps including arrest on endothelium, migration through the endothelial barrier and directed migration through connective tissue towards the site of inflammation. MMP3 is expressed by a variety of cell types including keratinocytes, fibroblasts, endothelial cells and monocytes and can activate other matrix proteinase classes;thus, MMP3 and other MMPs may modulate multiple key steps required for optimal leukocyte extravasation. The goal of this project is to elucidate the functional role of MMP3 in leukocyte extravasation during wound healing.
Our specific aims will test our hypothesis as follows:
Specific Aim 1 : To identity the cellular matrix proteinase contributions of leukocytes, fibroblasts and keratinocytes to MMP3 dependent leukocyte infiltration into the wound environment using in vivo mouse models that are null for or have targeted overexpression of individual MMP family members.
Specific Aim 2. To test the hypothesis that MMP3 activity regulates activation of subsequent MMP family members in wounded epidermis.
Specific Aim 3 : To identity the cellular mechanisms regulated during MMP3 and matrix protease dependent transendothelial migration in vitro. These studies will provide novel insights into the role of MMP3 and other matrix proteinases during leukocyte transendothelial migration and provide an in vivo model system for testing MMP inhibitors in a clinical setting.
Wounding of the skin requires healing to maintain normal health. An essential part of wound healing is inflammation. Matrix Metalloproteinases such as MMP3 may play a key role in regulating inflammation during wound healing.

Today I bring you the Maybelline Color Elixir
Vision in Violet Caviar Couture
As you can see on the above swatch, the color is very opaque and pigmented!
I've heard other youtubers saying they are not impressed with the pigmentation - but i concur (atleast to these 2 colours in particular).
Here it is on my lips ^_^
The colour (Vision in Violet) was a teeny bit more violet on my lips than it was on the bottle(has more pink i think..but almost bang on).. and to be quite honest, im not even sure how to wear this colour. I mean, I dont know if I can pull this colour off..but this shade is great nonetheless.
The Caviar Couture is great for the Fall/Winter season. This colour looks super dark on the bottle (which was a bit intimidating, and made me think twice about purchasing it). But since i don't have this colour in my collection, I thought I might as well (lol)
I noticed it has some fine sparkles, which I didnt mind. In my opinion, it added to the glossiness of the colour.
The texture feels a bit thick on the lips (for my liking), but its not uncomfortable. its not sticky when you press your lips together. It is super glossy, and as I've mentioned, the colour is very pigmented. My only complain about these color elixirs is the scent. it smells like jasmine flowers plus something else that i cannot put my finger on. When I tried this color, i was hoping the scent would wear off but it kinda lingered on (and i wasnt even wearing it for that long) that i wasn't able to tolerate the smell at all :(
My verdict? I would give them a pass (unfortunately). I would rather buy the ColorSensational High Shine lipglosses instead (which I have majority of). I know the description for the Color Elixirs are not similar to the ColorSensationals, but since these (Color Elixirs) are not marked as Limited Edition, I'd rather spend my money on the ColorSensationals. The reasons are: 1 - you get more product; 2 - super pigmented and non sticky. 3- smells better
What do you guys think of the Color Elixirs?
Gotta have it or Not?

Soothe razor burn with crushed ice cubes, a paste of aspirin and water, an aftershave balm or witch hazel treatment. Those suffering from razor burn must wait a few days before shaving again, to avoid further irritating the skin as it heals.
Many quick remedies can lessen the pain of a razor burn, in addition to rubbing ice cubes on the area in thirty-second intervals. Mix together a thick paste, made from crushed Bayer aspirin and a few drops of water, and apply it directly to the razor-burned skin to relieve pain and irritation. Use a moisturizing aftershave balm to refresh the dry skin. Witch hazel is an astringent, which helps soothe minor irritations and heal razor nicks and cuts as well.
