Light, summery main course: veg and fish
Monkfish may not be the best looking fish in the sea but certainly one of the tastiest. I first came face to face with one in Dalmatia, a good few years ago. I am always curious when in comes to new food, so despite the look I went to try one, and I loved it. I love the texture and the finely tuned taste of this fish. There are concerns with the fishing methods (destruction to seabed ecosystems and wastefulness - Demersal otter trawls commonly throw away over 30% of their catches, by weight) so I am using monkfish as a treat, not too much and not too often. Does this still make me love my belly more than our seas?
To make this Mediterranean feast of colours you will need (serves 2 to 4):
450 g monkfish tails (one big or two smaller ones)
1 juicy lime
3 small-medium onions
2 tbsp coconut oil
1 cm fresh ginger
2 pointed green peppers
2 pointed red peppers
6 small courgettes (thin, young)
olive oil, and
small bunch of flat leaf parsley, to serve
1. Peel, halve and slice the onions into thin wedges. Rinse and halve the peppers, discard the seeds and the soft inner ribs, then slice. Rinse the courgettes and slice. Peel and thinly slice the ginger.
2. Rinse the fish, cut the tail (tails) along the bones, discard the bones and cut the flesh into bite sized pieces.
3. Plate the fish into a stainless steel pan with a lid. Squeeze the lime onto the fish pieces, add a wee splash of water, cover with a lid. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to minimum and gently simmer for 8 mins. All the water should be evaporated/absorbed/incorporated but the fish should stay juicy and moist.
4. In a large pan melt the coconut oil, add the prepared onions and on medium heat fry for a few minutes, tossing to get an even colour.
5. Add the prepared ginger. Toss for a minute or two.
6. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the prepared peppers. Toss for a few minutes just until they start to soften.
7. Add the prepared courgettes. Toss to combine, then cover with a lid, reduce the heat to minimum and gently cook for a minute or two.
8. Serve the veg onto plates. Top with the citrus monkfish pieces, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with the finely chopped parsley. Enjoy!

Rating: R | Runtime: 121 minutes | Release Date: February 18th, 2005 (USA)
Studio: Warner Bros.
Director(s): Francis Lawrence
Writer(s): Kevin Brodbin and Frank A. Cappello / Kevin Brodbin (story) /
Jamie Delano & Garth Ennis (comic book Hellblazer
"You still trying to buy your way into Heaven"
At the height of the first new wave of comic book adaptations, Warner Bros. delved a little deeper into the literary medium's annals for something dark like New Line's Blade. It was three years before Iron Man ushered in cinematic universes and a year after Spider-Man 2 and X2 provided a one-two punch of the genre's potential. Batman Begins was always going to be the studio's 2005 crown jewel, but you could call Constantine a precursor to its pitch-black, cynical atmosphere trying to remove the hokey humor so many associated with comics. Here's a character that attempted suicide to escape the world of half-breed angels and demons surrounding him only to be revived with a damned soul. Now a chain-smoking loner battling evil to earn God's grace and a place in Heaven, his personal judgment day has arrived.
John Constantine (Keanu Reeves) was a rather new creation, debuting in 1985 courtesy of Alan Moore's Swamp Thing arc. Three years later he had his own series entitled Hellblazer whose "Dangerous Habits" story by Garth Ennis inspired Kevin Brodbin and Frank Cappello's script. Details from the "Original Sins" trade paperback were included as well as certain alterations like moving the from London (the character was stylistically based upon Sting) to Los Angeles. And while the film was given an R rating, one could say it lived too close to PG-13 territory to truly utilize the freedom an R provides. Talk as recent as 2011 has said a sequel would go darker and scarier, but I don't think a Part 2 over ten years later is in the cards despite the original bringing in twice its budget once the dust settled.
Director Francis Lawrence was given three storylines to play out simultaneously. There's John's quest for salvation, the unknown evil plans of a soldier demon looking to break through onto our plane, and policewoman Angela Dodson's (Rachel Weisz) search to prove her sister's recent death wasn't the open/shut case of suicide evidence shows. An eclectic cast of characters come in and out of each thread with varying levels of occult/mystical powers from the bi-partisan witch doctor Papa Midnite (Djimon Hounsou), angel Gabriel (Tilda Swinton), and demon Balthazar (Gavin Rossdale), each engaged in God and Satan's "friendly wager" to see who could acquire the most humans by the Apocalypse. Their rules state only suggestion can be used to sway mankind's morality, but increased paranormal activity and dangerous entities attempting to kill Constantine show the game has changed.
All three plots focus on the famed Spear of Destiny that killed Jesus Christ. We watch as it's discovered wrapped in a Nazi flag underneath the arid desert of Mexico by a migrant worker who for all intents and purposes finds immortality while possessing it. He starts off towards LA to fulfill plans we are still in the dark about until a little past the midway point once Satan's (Peter Stormare) son Mammon comes into play as a puppet master to Balthazar overstepping his boundaries. Everyone around Constantine—besides his driver/apprentice Chas (Shia LaBeouf) who comes and goes with very little to do—finds death and John begins to put the pieces together of what's truly happening as well as how Angela fits in. His anger rises, his fear of eternal damnation nears, and his chance for true sacrifice arrives.
Looking back, not much actually goes on despite these converging stories. A bunch of characters are introduced who eventually prove more important than the tiny cameos at first appearance, but even so the story of John Constantine's salvation is always paramount. It's fun to see him selfishly walk around like an unrewarded hero, dismissively crossing paths with Angela twice before coincidence proves fate. He's a dick to everyone around him, believing he's owed life when he knowingly threw it away as a teenager. And all these years of fighting evil has done nothing but earn Lucifer's pleasure at taking a personal trip to claim his soul once the time finally comes. Gabriel won't help him, Chas wants to but is constantly rebuked, and every other friend he has harbors resentment beneath the thin façades of civility outwardly shown.
There's a smidgeon of romance between Angela and John, but her desire to avenge her sister and his efforts to stop Mammon's plan in a last ditch shot at catching God's eye overshadow it. Instead Constantine really is the start of a potential franchise giving us exposition with purpose. We aren't sure whether John will be done in by cancer or a demon by its end nor if Hell is his final destination—so we rally behind his stop-at-nothing attitude wreaking havoc on tradition and unwritten rules whenever necessary. We watch him go into hell twice—a post-apocalyptic wasteland mirroring our own dimension with a heat wave distortion of orange shrouding everything—and see the cranially-exposed baddies trying to breakthrough. He's a badass antihero and mankind's last hope whether he cares to be or not.
It's an intriguing template for a superhero that really is counter-programming to the hero-complex so many others possess. The special effects are a bit dated only because many scenes use them wall-to-wall, but the darkness helps mask them to let the tone speak for itself. Reeves is perfectly suited to this type of laconic character with a chip on his shoulder and Weisz adds a nice bit of heart and emotion to the otherwise cold fight for existence. Stormare and Swinton are a treat of over-the-top supernatural hubris while Hounsou gets an opportunity to be entertaining if only to foreshadow a more integral role in subsequent stories. I enjoyed the occult references and their handling of Heaven versus Hell by using religious artifacts as weapons rather than objects of faith, but sadly nothing more came out of it.

Problems with the endocrine system lead to the fact,that disruptions occur in all internal organs. As a result, in order to find their cause, the doctor assigns a series of studies. Among the mass of a wide variety of tests, one will also be appointed that will help to check whether there are violations in carbohydrate metabolism - glucose tolerance. What is it and how it is conducted, that's about this and we'll continue our story. Also very often this study is called a glucose tolerance test or a "sugar curve".
At the heart of it is the response toreceipt of glucose in the body. Carbohydrates are the most important component, but in order that they can bring the body only benefit and filled with strength and energy, there is no way to avoid insulin. It is he who is able to regulate the level of carbohydrates, limiting the sugar content, especially if a person can not do without a daily serving of sweet.
Tolerance to glucose: what is it?
Tolerance to glucose is a laboratoryAn analysis that allows you to identify latent or latent diabetes in a patient. He can also say that a person belongs to those who are at risk of getting diabetes of the second type, and he needs to take all possible measures to prevent this. If there were violations in tolerance, the glucose level in a person, the analysis of which was performed on an empty stomach, slightly exceeds the normal values.
If a test for glucose tolerance is assigned,the norm is indicated in the form of analysis, which is issued in the hands. A violation of tolerance is formed due to the fact that the secretion of insulin decreases and the sensitivity of cells to blood glucose is disturbed.
What causes lead to impaired glucose tolerance?
We have already been able to understand the main andinteresting to many of the question of whether or not glucose tolerance is what it is. And now it is important to know what causes lead to such malfunctions in the body. And they are due to the fact that inevitable violations occur in the secretion of insulin, while also the sensitivity disappears.
Among the main reasons most often doctors identify such:
- pathology of the heart and blood vessels;
- changes in carbohydrate metabolism;
- high blood pressure.
Also, this disease often occurs in those who have relatives who suffer from this disease. Prediabetes can provoke several factors:
- excess weight;
- hormonal therapy;
- conducting a sedentary lifestyle;
- age after 40 years.
Symptoms of glucose tolerance
Very often impaired glucose tolerance during pregnancy, this is a very bad condition. But a woman in the situation can independently identify the symptomatology of such a condition by such signs:
- severe itching of the skin;
- dry skin;
- bleeding gums;
- sexual weakness;
- loss of teeth;
- purulent inflammation of the sebaceous glands.
To identify the cause of such symptoms, you need to undergo a test and pass a number of tests, including glucose tolerance. What kind of analysis is it, how does it pass, we will tell further.
How is the tolerance test conducted?
In order to choose the right treatment andto put the most accurate diagnosis, you need to make a diagnosis, in our case - this is a laboratory study - donate blood for glucose tolerance. The most convenient method of testing tolerance is a single load of the body with carbohydrates, which are taken orally. Calculation of their quantity can be done in this way:
- take glucose in the amount of 75 grams and divorce in a glass of warm water, drink all the fluid received and only on an empty stomach;
- patients with large body weight or women bearing a baby, the dose of glucose increases to 100 grams, but in no case more;
- the analysis for glucose tolerance is also done for children, and for them the calculation goes in rigor with their body weight of 1.75 g per 1 kg.
A couple of hours after taking glucose, you needto control the sugar in the body. In this case, the initial parameter should be taken as the result of the analysis, which is done before the intake of glucose. The blood sugar should be in the range of 6.7 mmol / l, although according to doctors, for some, this parameter can be 6.1 mmol / l, so for each individual case it is better to take its parameter personally.
If after two hours the sugar level is within 7.8 mmol / l, then it can already say that the body has impaired glucose tolerance.
But it is worth remembering that when usingsingle determination of the results for violations of carbohydrate metabolism can not notice the peak of the "sugar curve" or simply do not wait for the moment when it drops to the minimum level. That is why the most accurate results are those that spend three hours and at least 5 times. It is possible to carry out blood fences for 4 hours, every half hour.
Tolerance to glucose: the norm
To determine precisely whether there are deviationstolerance in a particular patient, you need to know what are the normal indicators. For this test, the upper limit is 6.7 mmol / L, but the lower limit is the initial indicator, to which glucose, present in the blood, tends. In a healthy person, she returns to the initial index in a couple of hours, but diabetics remain at a high level. That is why there is no lower limit of the norm.
Decrease in the indicators of this test can speakthat in the patient's body pathological failures occur, which lead to disruption of carbohydrate metabolism and a decrease in glucose tolerance. In pregnancy, these disruptions occur much more often, and all because the female body has to work for two. Tolerance can indicate such states:
- secretive diabetes mellitus that does notmanifests no symptoms in the usual state, but can indicate problems in adverse conditions, for example, under stress, trauma or intoxication;
- development of the syndrome of insulin resistance, which entails serious disruptions in the work of the heart and blood vessels;
- active thyroid and anterior pituitary;
- malfunctions in the CNS;
- disorders of the autonomic nervous system;
- gestational diabetes, it is most often manifested during pregnancy;
- inflammation of the pancreas.
Test for glucose tolerance in pregnancydoes not apply to routine analyzes, but it is still better for a woman to go through it, especially if symptoms have appeared that indicate abnormalities so as not to miss the development of pathology and to take all measures to normalize the condition. In this case, both a woman and her unborn baby can suffer.
Who most often falls under special control to the endocrinologist?
Analysis for glucose tolerance underpregnancy or a simple person can be appointed if they are at risk. Some of the diseases that occur periodically or permanently can act as provocators, but lead to disorders in carbohydrate metabolism and the development of diabetes mellitus, such as:

Glucose Tolerance Test Standards we have presented above.
What can affect the analysis data?
The patient, whose doctor suspected a violation of tolerance, should know that the factors of analysis can be affected by such factors:
- If you eat flour products every day: sweets, cakes, buns. In this case, glucose is simply not able to be disposed of independently.
- Excessive physical exertion, which is not canceled even on the day of the test, leads to impaired glucose tolerance.
- Smokers will have to be nervous, because their addiction can affect the results of the analysis.
- During the carrying out of the baby, a protectivemechanism of hypoglycemia, which carries much more serious harm to the unborn child than the hyperglycemic state. In this case, glucose tolerance during pregnancy can be slightly reduced. For bad results, you can also take physiological changes in carbohydrate metabolism, caused by the pancreas.
- Excess weight. This sign brings a person on the list of risks, where diabetes is one of the first places.
- The indices can also be affected by abnormalities in the work of the stomach and intestines.
All these factors can force a personworried, and in most cases not in vain. Changes in indicators should not be left without attention, after a time it is worth repeating the analysis, while excluding those factors that can affect it.
What not to do before the test?
To get the most accurate results, the patient must prepare thoroughly before the test:
- a few days before the analysis should not change anything in their habitual way of life, but that's better to correct food, carbohydrates per day need to eat no more than 150 g;
- if the analysis is scheduled for tomorrow, then the meal should be no later than 10 hours before the test;
- no cigarettes, alcohol and coffee 10 hours before the analysis;
- no unnecessary physical exertion;
- the day before it is worth to miss the intake of certain drugs: hormones, neuroleptics, diuretics;
- it is impossible to pass the analysis to women during menstruation;
- poor analysis can be obtained if the fence wasspent at a time when the patient was in a strong emotional situation, if he has progressed inflammation in the liver, an operation was recently performed;
- poor analysis may be in cases where the patient has a low percentage of potassium in the blood;
- Half an hour before the blood sample, the patient should relax and think about the good.
In some cases, the load can be carried out by injecting glucose intravenously, when to do exactly so, the doctor decides.
How is the analysis done?
First, on an empty stomach, blood is taken for analysis, and afteralready the patient is given a glucose drink. In some patients, taking a sweet syrup can cause nausea, if such symptoms appear, then you need to add a little citric acid and they will go away.
After taking glucose, the patient maywalk next to the laboratory. When the next fence is held, physicians will say, it can happen in half an hour or an hour. And so the fence will be held 5 times.
The glycemic curve is calculated fromthe numerical value of the highest glucose value and the initial concentration of sugar in the blood. To calculate at home the indicator will be difficult, so entrust counting is better to a professional who does not miss an important moment and will be able to give accurate data that is so important for the selection of further treatment.
How are violations of glucose tolerance treated?
Therapy provides for a certaindiet and elimination of disruptions in the endocrine system. Also, the level of lipid metabolism is normalized, the level of uric acid decreases. In no case is it advisable to engage in self-medication. Select an effective treatment in each individual case will only be able to specialist. Therapy of diabetes provides for compliance with all the doctor's recommendations, and this is a strict diet and taking all the prescribed medications.
Preventive measures
As a preventive the doctor advises regularlypass the test in order to early detect failures in the body and begin urgently to eliminate them. To prevent remission of the disease, it is recommended to regularly monitor the level of blood pressure, the amount of calories eaten per day, and be sure to find time for exercise.
Tolerance to glucose is a serious criterionto assess the absorption of glucose by the body. Only if you find a violation in time, you can avoid serious consequences. Therefore, if there are symptoms that indicate a violation of tolerance, or there is a predisposition, then regular consultations and observance of recommendations will help to avoid health problems.

Condoleezza Rice is fuelling the threat of civil war in Palestine. In a recent visit to Israel the US secretary of state promised $85 million in military aid to the Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas to fight the popularly elected Hamas government.
Abbas's Fatah movement is hoping that it would be granted an independent state if it puts itself at the service of Israel and the US. Fatah gunmen have repeatedly attacked Hamas despite a continuing Israeli siege of Palestinian territories.
As Rice was pledging support for Abbas, Israel announced it intends to grab more Palestinian land.
Egypt, a major US ally in the region, has been sending weapons and ammunition to Fatah with Israel's consent.
The Arab governments want the Palestinians to end their uprising against the occupation. Hamas has refused to recognise Israel and repeatedly warned that the US will not deliver an independent Palestinian state.

When off duty fire fighter Joe Manganaro boarded a cross-country flight this summer he never expected to save someone's life. But that's just what happened, and this week the Boston Celtics honored Manganaro of South Boston as a "Hero Among Us," for his quick thinking.
Manganaro, a Stoughton firefighter and paramedic who was just recently promoted to Sergeant in the Marines Corp Reserves, was on his way to California to for a U.S. Marine Corps training, aboard an American Airlines flight when it became apparent another passenger needed serious medical attention.
The fight attendants asked if there was a doctor over the intercom but when no one responded, th 25-year-old rookie firefighter stepped up.
Using medical supplies on the plane, he inserted an IV. The plane made an emergency landing in Washington D.C. Once on the ground, the man was rushed to the hospital and has since made a full recovery.
For his quick thinking and lifesaving actions, Manganaro will be honored as a "Celtics Hero Among Us!" Oct. 22, 2018 when the Celtics face off against the Orlando Magic.
Boston Celtics started the Heroes Among Us program in 1997 and since then it has recognized outstanding individuals who have made exceptional and lasting contributions to their communities. The award is presented at every Celtics home game and pays tribute to the heroic achievements of these outstanding citizens.
Chief Michael Laracy said the firefighter was only in the department for a couple of months before this happened.
"He stepped up which was awesome. We're very proud of him. He stayed with the patient and kept him calm until he got medical treatment and that's exactly what he's trained to do," said Laracy.
Laracy described Manganaro as a humble man, saying the chief only heard about the event because of Manganaro was recognized through the Marines. The new firefighter was then asked to be the keynote speaker at the Massachusetts Fire Academy where he was also recognized.
We honor you, Joe Manganaro.

Tony Bruno Exits WIP, Retires From Radio
Tony Bruno Exits WIP, Retires From Radio
Jul 8th 2015, 22:09
Tony Bruno, a sports talk veteran of over four decades, announced his immediate retirement from broadcast radio, exiting WIP/Philadelphia, where he and on-air partner Josh Innes just reached #1 in their target demographic. Bruno had been off the air this week, supposedly because of unhappiness in working with Innes, who he has been paired with since earlier this year. While management worked to get him back on the air, Bruno instead posted his resignation from radio notice on his website Wednesday. More...

As I wrote before I put my nomination for the NAC with a condition: if elected to the Ex., no NAC seat for me.
As I wrote before I put my nomination for the NAC with a condition: if elected to the Ex., no NAC seat for me.
Since we knew at the time of the election that Egidijus would not stand if he won a position on the board of directors and we did have an election I believe that we should move to the next candidate by vote tally which is Serge Archimbault. Even though the elections are simultaneous in theory they are serial events and so as soon as Egidijus won the vice presidency he withdrew from consideration from the NAC. Everyone running for this position was capable of serving. This is a committee which I hope will not have much work. I do not anticipate in the event that the committee does have work that we will see any appeals to the board of directors which resulted from the situation where the person appealing to the committee in 2017 was misled by a statement from our executive director that he should wait for the committee members to contact him.
Proper procedures to follow in an appeal probably belong in the revised handbook to avoid such things in the future. My brother who lives in Dallas mentioned to my parents that this situation landed in the Dallas newspapers a few days ago with my name mentioned probably gleaned from quotes online since they did not talk to me.
It is not clear that it is proper to allow appeal to the Executive. FIDE already accept appeals from all the NAC of the World. If the event is not FIDE rated, the situation is different.
According to Federal standards, there must be a way to appeal a decision of the Executive, not the other way around. http://www.crdsc-sdrcc.ca/eng/disput...ract-templates . Complying with that is a required for most Federal subsidies. It is certain that the NFP Act allow for that because everybody does it to receive Sports Canada money.
The board is always the highest level of appeal within the CFC. We are the ones who are personally financially responsible for the CFC and its actions and as a result we get the final say. If someone does not like the decision of the executive, they can bring it to the voting members though the voting members cannot encroach on decisions that are clearly within the purview of the executive lest they incur the liability for that decision. This is not an abstract point as if it goes to court it can easily result in judgements for lawyers fees which can wipe out the accumulated assets of the CFC very quickly. The voting members can change the board of directors but they do have to trust them to do what is best for the CFC while they hold that office.
At the moment we do not get any federal subsidies. I do not anticipate that changing any time soon.
The case that resulted in appeal to the board of directors in 2017 was unique in that incorrect information was given to the person who appealed to the NAC by the Executive Director and as a result the person appealing the decision to the NAC felt that he had not been given the opportunity to fully state his case. I don't anticipate that unique set of circumstances to happen again and it is likely that there may not even be any appeals to the NAC. I don't anticipate the board of directors hearing any more appeals from NAC matters.

"1248. The CFC Business Office will write to the players involved, the TD, and the members of the AC, providing them with the information provided by the appellant, and requesting them to confirm the facts and provide any additional facts or other relevant information.
1249. When all the relevant information has been received the CFC Business Office will forward it to the members of the NAC, who will thereupon consider and rule on the appeal."
Again, I think these instructions are a bit archaic, and with a timeline to name a player looming, I talked to Bob and instructed him to send the NAC members all of the e-mails of the players and officials, with the idea the NAC would contact who they wanted to speak to (and at the very least Nikolay). Either this was lost in translation or they decided they didn't need any information, and Nikolay was unable to give them his additional information. He was allowed to present it to the Executive for the Appeal of the NAC decision. My opinion was that the members of the Executive who were on the NAC should not be involved in the appeal to the Executive - as it turned out the vote was something like 4-1, without them.

He gently guided his needle ship into his private docking station on the immense space yacht. They were two weeks early for the trendiest cruise in the quadrant. Two weeks before he could start his hunt.
The yacht was a replica of the fabled Serena Between the Stars and the cruise would follow her last journey. The exodus of the wealthy elite from Anderson Station to the fateful crash on Tiamat Five had been exhaustively documented. Great care had been taken to make the replica as believable as possible while including modern technology and safety procedures.
Each passenger had been assigned a name and personality corresponding to an original passenger or crew member. After launch, no one would be allowed to leave. Every individual had a role to play in the coming drama.
The docking rings embraced his ship and the transport tube latched on to the outer airlock. She was strapped in next to him. He spoke to her, commands only. She was still on auto pilot but she responded smoothly. As they traveled to their suite they were hidden from other early arrivals. The games would not begin until after launch.
Their suite was decadent. He approved. He left her, unclothed and face up on the bed while he refreshed himself. He was in no hurry. Activation was a task to be savored.
Finally, he came to her. Her synthetic skin was soft under his touch. He could not detect a seam where the skin faded into supple bronze. The bronze was smooth and perfect.
What wonders do you hold, he thought. What memories have you held on to?
He spoke the first words of activation. He watched as she became aware of herself. Slowly, she became aware of him. He continued touching her, stroking her, probing her. Only her inner kernel was active. She was vulnerable, in this state, stripped of her interaction modules. He began giving her commands again, softer now. He found her physical data input slot.
Oh yes, he thought. Wherever you have been in the past is nothing like where you are going in the future.
Then he slid his transfer wand home.

Most Republicans are unscrupulous people who have no morals. As long as they can win whatever they're trying to win, they have no qualms about getting dirty in the process. For example, they have no problem ignoring that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh may have sexually assaulted a woman when they were in school together. But Republican Lisa Murkowski has a problem just giving Kavanaugh a pass, and wants to hear from his victim before she'll vote to put him on the Supreme Court.
Today she told CNN
'What I have to do next week, assuming that the hearing moves forward, which I am truly hoping it does, that is the end, hopefully, of this vetting process that I have been engaged in. That's when I will make my determination in regards to Judge Kavanaugh.'
That's more than what most other Republicans are willing to do…most would rather simply dismiss Christine Blasey Ford's accusation and move straight to voting Kavanaugh on to the bench. It doesn't bother them that Kavanaugh may have sexually assaulted someone, they just want to make sure he'll be sitting on the court and ruling the way they want him to rule for the next 20 or 30 years.
Murkowski went on to say:
'I think that where we are right now with the Senate and Judiciary Committee particularly, going through its process, a process that hopefully will allow for an airing of the allegations Dr. Ford has submitted in writing … but equally important is a fair opportunity for Judge Kavanaugh to respond. That's what we should be focusing on.'
The problem with that statement is that it sounds like if Kavanaugh says he didn't do it, she'll probably vote for him to be confirmed anyway. Only time will tell what she's going to do. If she acts like the normal unscrupulous Republican, Ford's testimony will mean nothing and we'll have a new justice sooner rather than later.

Often overshadowed by the noisy city neighbors of Rangers and Celtic, Partick Thistle have always had a quieter stint in Scottish football since their foundation in 1876. However, one of their most interesting stories come from a 1995 European adventure as they qualified for one of UEFAs strangest inventions, the UEFA Intertoto Cup.
Partick Thistle found themselves facing 4 other teams from across the far reaching borders of Europe in what was to be their 3rd ever appearance in European competition following games in the UEFA Inter City Fairs Cup and UEFA Cup in 1963 and 1972 respectively. After an interesting draw, Partick had drew FC Metz, LASK Linz, NK Zagreb and Keflavik.
The biggest team in the group was undoubtedly Ligue 1 club FC Metz who had experience in the highest level of French football, while other clubs such as NK Zagreb and LASK Linz posed a threat to an inexperienced Partick Thistle.
After a tense wait for a tie against LASK Linz of Austria, Partick finally kicked off their European endeavor. They were 2-0 down within 6 minutes. However, goals from McDonald and McWilliams had seen Partick Thistle pick up a valuable point against a club in the higher levels of Austrian football. Elsewhere, despite picking up an early lead, Icelandic minnows Keflavik were beaten by Metz 2-1 infront of a small crowd of 500.
Next up was a home tie against Keflavik in a must win game if they were to try and qualify from the Group Stages and have a chance of entering the Europa League (UEFA Cup at the time). Partick put in a professional performance and despite conceding an early goal went on to win the game 3-1 courtesy of goals from Albert Craig and Tom Smith. Partick had already picked up a win and a draw which put them in a good position for a massive match.
A week passed and Partick were on the road again as they faced a difficult challenge as they traveled to France to play Metz away in a crucial group deciding match. Despite remaining in the game for a long period of play, Metz scored and took all 3 points. This was a huge body blow as it knocked Partick Thistle out of the cup despite picking up points in their first two games.
All that remained was a consolation match against NK Zagreb of Croatia where Thistle lost 2-1. This home loss remains to be the last game Partick Thistle have played in European football to this day and Partick Thistle finished 4th out of 5 in their Intertoto group.
This shouldn't be underestimated however. To play in European football you must show a level of class which qualifies you to play at such a level, which is an achievement in itself. Partick find themselves as only 1 of 4 Scottish teams to ever play in a European Group Stages.

And it was – assuming that glass is half full of cyanide and I get to drink it." Bee also recaps the Devin Nunes memo about to be released by the White House and how even the public demand to release it using the #ReleaseTheMemo hashtag was pushed in part by Russian bots. "You remember Devin Nunes as the guy who already had to recuse himself from this very investigation for lying to protect the White House, so we should definitely trust him! And Nunes hasn't even seen all the intelligence he based the memo on, so this so-called 'memo' of Nunes's is more like a fun little fan fiction he wrote in his spare time," Bee says. "The Russian interference investigation has itself been interfered by Russians. It's like a turducken of treason. Tastes bitter, like the ashes of our democracy."

For the third year running, structured cabling specialist Brand-Rex has been recognised as the UK's premiere manufacturer of copper cabling products.
The latest market research, carried out by specialist building consultants BSRIA, compared all the leading UK businesses and reports that Brand-Rex achieved the number one position for both the largest quantity of outlets sold and the highest overall sales revenue.
Excellent product offering, superior customer service and competitive pricing remain key success factors for Brand-Rex, with the company's UK sales up 18% on a year-on-year basis. The figures show that Brand-Rex increased its overall UK market share by 1.4% in 2010, despite the difficult economic conditions.
Ian Wilkie, Supply Chain Director at Brand-Rex, says that: "2010 was not a year without challenges. Whilst the market remained a fierce place to compete, a change in our distribution partner strategy at the start of the year forced us to take a more direct supply route to a proportion of our installer base. The higher service levels required to support this customer type resulted in us upping our game to an even higher level on the customer service front, which ultimately benefits all."

EIGHT GmbH & Co. KG recently came up with a new solar charging station designed for a single electric car. The company unveiled a demonstrator of this charging station from Suessen (Germany) in front of the BMW Welt in Munich. As part of a research project performed in the context of Bavaria-Saxony "ELEKTROMOBILITÄT VERBINDET" initiative, this DC fast-charging station was together activated by the BMW Group, EIGHT, ABB, RWE, Deutsche Bahn, German Armed Forces, Dresden Technical University, University of Bamberg, and University of Munich.
The station initially covered a 55-sqm area designed to charge four cars at a time, which further aimed to serve large institutions and businesses. But, the newer Point.One S version is designed for a single car and can be extremely useful for households and medium-sized firms. EIGHT's managing director, Christoph B. Rößner, was quoted as saying: "The new version offers all the features which people know from the original Point.One. But, as the Point.One S is much smaller, the solar charging station needs less space and integrates even easier with the architecture of its surrounding. Just like Point.One, our new version is designed to integrate different kinds of charging technologies – depending on the needs of the customers." Rößner also said: "Our patented, impressively sustainable manufacturing system and parametrical planning processes allow the station to be adapted to the location and its surrounding architecture as effectively as possible."
As per its philosophy and reputation for solar charging stations, EIGHT aims to get people interested and excited about emissions-free e-mobility. Thus, it designed a modified and highly intelligent user interface for the demonstrator of Point.One S in collaboration with the University for Design of Schwaebisch Gmuend. The company wants to link the modern urban lifestyle with sustainability so it can come up with innovative business models related to e-mobility. With its DC-charging project partners, the company has activated a new charging station in front of BMW Welt. This station from ABB is based on the new IEC Standard 61851-23 / Combined Charging System (CCS). Within less than half-an-hour, it can charge BMW i3's pilot production version with empty batteries up to 80%, extending its range by 130 km. To further connect this technology to the IT system, RWE Effizienz would erect a second CCS-fast-charging station at the same place.
In the modern world, sustainable mobility is a requirement when new products are developed, and this attempt by EIGHT to launch a user- and environment-friendly solar charging station for electric cars is a great attempt in that direction. The way it is designed to connect people and their vehicles with renewable energy sources offers the ease of use that further drives people toward electric mobility.

Four Prewar Apartments in Queens With Working Fireplaces, Starting at $518K
Dreaming of cooler days ahead and curling up in front of an atmospheric fire? We've rounded up four apartments, all in Queens, that offer a bit of period charm along with working fireplaces.
All four of our finds are co-ops in prewar apartment buildings, with styles ranging from Tudor to Neo-Romanesque. Three are in 1920s buildings in Jackson Heights, and within the historic district, typified by complexes designed around gracious gardens. The fourth is in a 1930s building in Douglaston, an area perhaps best know for its single family homes.
Prices start at $518,000 for a two-bedroom in Douglaston and top out at $1.4 million for a four-bedroom in Jackson Heights.
First up is a two-bedroom in a four-story 1930s Tudor-style co-op in Douglaston. The building is just outside the Douglaston Historic District, which includes the early to mid-20th century houses of the Douglas Manor Development. The tree-lined streets of the neighborhood are perfect for an architectural stroll. This third-floor unit has charm of its own with a spacious living room with hardwood floors, a bay window and a rustic brick fireplace with a tile hearth. There's a dining room and half bath off the galley kitchen and a full bath between the two bedrooms. The building is about a five-minute walk to the Douglaston Station on the LIRR.
38-30 Douglaston Parkway #3A
Price: $518,000
Monthly maintenance: $1,082
Area: Douglaston
Broker: Douglas Elliman (Laura Copersino)
See it here ->
In Jackson Heights is an apartment in one of the neighborhood's grand garden apartment projects, Laburnum Court. Completed in 1922, the neo-Georgian complex by architect George H. Wells includes eight five-story buildings along a common garden. This two-bedroom unit has a mix of original details and some modern updates. In the living room there are parquet floors with inlay and the fireplace with its original mantel and marble surround. The dining room has been opened up to the living room and adjacent is the kitchen, with a lowered wall pierced with openings to let in light. The building is less than a 10 minute walk to multiple subway options at the Roosevelt Avenue express stop and close to neighborhood stalwarts like Jackson Diner and Patel Brothers.
37-28 80th Street #31
Price: $729,000
Monthly maintenance: $853
Area: Jackson Heights
Broker: Remax Team (Vincent O Connell)

Also in Jackson Heights but French rather than English is an apartment in The Chateau, a neo-French Renaissance building completed in 1922. The complex includes 12 five- and six-story U-shaped buildings with a common landscaped garden. With its mix of historical character from the 1920s to the 1970s, you can leap decades inside the three-bedroom, two-bath unit. In the living room there's the garland ornamented original working fireplace and underfoot some orange wall-to-wall carpeting. Most of the floors in the apartment are carpeted so it's tough to tell the condition of the original wood floors underneath. There's a separate dining room and a groovy kitchen with a ceramic tile floor and wood cabinets. One of the three bedrooms is kitted out as a paneled den. In the heart of the historic district, the building is three blocks from the 7 train at the 82nd Street stop. Nearby is Travers Park, which should be unveiled this fall after a major redesign.

Last up is an apartment in one of Jackson Heights' fanciest buildings, The Towers. Designed by Andrew J. Thomas and completed in 1925, the neo-Romanesque complex includes eight six-story U-shaped buildings, which share a landscaped garden. There are arched loggias, towers and red-tiled roofs. There are just two apartments per floor and this one has four bedrooms and three baths — although one of the rooms marked as a bedroom on the floor plan is sans closet and has a pocket door and a location next to the dining room that might make it a better office. The living room has hardwood floors and the all-important working fireplace, this one marble. The kitchen has some statement-making fruit- and flower-themed tile. The apartment also boasts views of the Manhattan skyline. The Towers is the furthest from the subway — about a 10-minute walk to the 7 train at the 82nd Street station.

Bias in the workplace means female leaders have a tightrope to walk.
When I was little, my mom always told me I could be anything I wanted to be, just as I'm sure your parents told you. I remember her saying to me over and over again that I needed to be a strong, independent, ambitious woman—basically, her way of saying "take no sh*t" to a 7-year-old. (Oh, wait … she said that, too.) If I worked hard and always stayed true to myself, I really thought I could accomplish anything and get anywhere. However, this ambition and tenacity we instill in our daughters can be a double-edged sword once they leave the nest and flock into a professional setting.
Unfortunately, an ambitious woman in the workplace is rarely described as just that. Instead, a strong female presence is often degraded, viewed as "bossy," "intimidating," or "aggressive," instead of being celebrated. Too often women are expected to be submissive, gentle, and are told they should be grateful to have a seat at the table. This same tenacity in men is instead interpreted as a positive and necessary leadership trait, something other men should aspire to. There seems to be a tightrope women have to walk between ambition and aggression. It's a fine line; one misstep can push you off the rope and derail your career trajectory.
The social cost of being ambitious in the workplace can be high for women. Too frequently, when women choose to think big, they are shut out, viewed as difficult to work with, interrupted and suddenly no longer considered a "team player." The effects of this on women's confidence and success is huge. Women may lose connections, opportunities and even their aspirations towards a senior management position. According to a study by Bain & Co., 43% of women aspired to be in top management during their first two years in a new job, but after that, only 16% were still shooting for those C-suite positions.
According to another study by Kieran Snyder, the CEO of software company Textio, ambitious, high-achieving men and women were described vastly differently in their performance reviews. Women's reviews were more likely to include critical feedback (87.9% of women versus 58.9% of men), and men's constructive suggestions tended to be focused on additional skills to develop, whereas women's tended to include phrases such as "watch your tone," or "step back and let others shine." These biases and judgments are not just affecting women socially but can be barriers to receiving promotions and raises.
So, we know this is happening, but how should we address the problems? Why can't we describe a woman who knows her worth and what she brings to the table the same way we describe a man who knows the same thing?
The first thing to note is that biases and prejudices exist in all of us, usually unknowingly. Everyone has unconscious biases based on a multitude of things: how they were raised, where they grew up, their circle of friends and family, etc. So, when you witness these biases, labels or perceptions, step in and stand against them. It's crucial for both men and women to disrupt this kind of talk when we hear it and to remind people that gender equality in the workplace isn't a women's issue, it's a business issue. Gender equality is good for business: It's shown to improve organizational performance, help companies attract and retain employees, and increase profitability.
Also look for women (and men) around you who are willing to band together and provide a ring of support, guidance and insight. Leverage these connections not only for yourself but to spread the mission of gender equality and create a bigger impact in the areas you work and live. Through leading by example and showing up for one another, we can make a difference in how women are perceived in the workplace.
Lastly, believe in your value and continue making it known to others, even if you receive the pushback outlined earlier. By asserting yourself, you're not only working on your personal and professional growth, but you're also bettering those around you and positively impacting your company's culture. And continue teaching your daughters (or any women in your life), to be ambitious and set their sights high. We've made significant progress and will continue to do so, but one day they'll be the women the world needs, too.

My name is Michael Olson and I am 39 years of age and this is my first encounter with aortic dissections. My Mother who is 68 years of age is the patient that has been diagnosed with the dissection. My Mother has never been one to go to the hospital for anything and avoids them like the plague. She is from Chile and legally came to the United States in the late 1960's. She lives alone and is in fairly good health by staying active, eating healthy, and watching her weight.
This past Christmas Eve she called me up complaining she had trouble moving her left leg. She previously went to her general physician and they diagnosed her with having some high cholesterol and did an MRI on her legs to see if there were any problems. Nothing was found with her legs and my Mom was getting frustrated that there was obviously a problem that would come back every so often. Some recent conversations on the phone with my Mom sounded as if she was slurring words and didn't make sense and I questioned her on this and she brushed it off that she just woke up or it was nothing. She also had a recent fall in the last year where she split her knee open on a cement walking block in the front yard requiring numerous stitches. Another item I noticed of the years was a slightly drooping eyelid that I attributed to older age.
With all of these symptoms in my mind I went to pick up my Mother and take her to an urgent care clinic. They weren't able to help because they required authorization from her GP. They recommended we go to an Emergency Center at a hospital and the one they recommended in the area was San Antonio Hospital in Upland, CA. We spent Christmas Eve in the Emergency Center and my Mom checked out fine and they were about to release her with no findings until I provided them the symptoms I have noticed with my Mom over time. They one item that caught the attention of the doctor on staff was the slurred speech. He sent my Mom in for a CT scan and discovered she was having TIAs or mini-strokes. He referred us back to her GP for immediate follow up to try and locate where these TIAs were coming from.
A trip back to the GP and my Mom was then referred to have a scan of here carotid arteries to see if there was any blockage. None was found and the next step was for my Mom to have an angiogram to examine the other arteries. She was referred to a Dr. Nabil Koudsi (http://www.sach.org/home/Search/Physicians.aspx?id=4294972852) and he scheduled the angiogram for my Mother on 1/29/2013. My Mom didn't want me to miss work and insisted a friend would take her to the hospital for the procedure that day. I live about 55 miles away from my Mother and have a younger brother that lives in Portland, Oregon. After the angiogram was complete I spoke to my Mom on the phone and she sounded fine and was recovering. I went to the hospital that evening and discovered she had a stroke at some point. The doctors told me it occurred after the procedure they suspect.
The stroke wasn't a major one and she recovered from it physically in a couple of days fortunately. My Mom ended up staying in the hospital until 2/9/2013 because of all of the complications she encountered. She has an elevated heart rate they had to control, fluid filling into her lungs that they had to drain once with a needle to the back, and some concern from her kidneys with the dye they used for the angiogram I'm told. After they had all of the items under control, they focused on my Moms blood pressure because it was high. The results from the angiogram weren't encouraging and initially I don't believe I was given very clear findings. They informed me that my Mom had an aortic arterial dissection that started in the lower descending aorta and extended to the middle of her chest. The internal medicine Dr. Bilal Reyas (http://www.sach.org/home/Search/Physicians.aspx?id=4294972963) informed me that surgery was likely for my Mom and it was going to be 2 ways to go about it. One way was similar to the angiogram process and a stent would be applied or the other way was going to be more invasive and equivalent to open heart surgery. The vascular surgeon would make the call and it might be a good idea to call my brother down. We held off on telling my Mom the news until we heard from the vascular surgeon because she was weakened at this point and would not have been up for a surgery. In fact she kept asking to go home and wanted to know why she she was being kept in the hospital for so long since she though this would have only been a 1 night stay initially.
The next morning (2/2/2013) the drive to the hospital was a dreaded one because of the news I might have to share with my Mom. Fortunately another vascular surgeon was called in to review my Moms case and his name was Dr. Joseph Vanderlinden (http://www.sach.org/home/Search/Physicians.aspx?id=4294973068). He discussed his findings with my Mom and myself and had some interesting information. My Mom didn't quite understand everything and i did what could but he stated there were some complications from the angiogram but thought my Mom was going to be able to heal on her in time with medication and there was no need for surgery. It was great news and I pulled him aside to get some reassurances and ask a couple of questions. I asked what he meant by complications from the angiogram and basically he said that my Mom had a lower dissection before the angiogram but was extended to an upper dissection because of the angiogram. He said the radiologist that performed the scan was experienced and this was not like him. He was very informative and gave me his personal cell phone number and has called and texted me several times with status and results related to my Mom.
My Mom was released from the hospital on 2/9/2013 with blood pressure medicine she takes daily to keep her blood pressure in the range of 90-120. She is to rest and not do anything that can elevate her blood pressure. Tomorrow she has an appointment with her vascular surgeon Dr. Koudsi and I'm going to be taking her to this appointment. We aren't sure what to expect and can only assume it is for a follow up. She also is scheduled to have a scan of her mid section this week as well as a follow up to her GP (http://www.drtat.com/)
My Mom is religiously taking her medicine, eating healthy, and documenting all of her blood pressure readings 5 times a day. She hasn't been sleeping to well at night and complains of pains in her chest and back. She says its equivalent to a stabbing sharp pains that tend to go away when she rubs the area. These pains are more prominent at night and started a couple of days after coming home from the hospital.
My Mom has numerous questions such as:
What is the pain she currently is experiencing?
How long will she be on meds?
How long is the healing process?
Will she return to "normal"?
Will this reoccur?
My Mother is very scared, pessimistic, and has probably had high blood pressure for some time but never did anything about it. This is all new to her and me and very worrisome because I lost my father about 10 years ago to bladder cancer and my Mom and brother is all I have for family. I'm the closest one to my Mom location wise and she has numerous friends and neighbors checking in on her. She has refused to come live with me because she thinks she will be an added burden. I work two jobs so my Mrs. can look after our 2 year old son and have limited time. Your website has been a relief to find and any recommendations you have would greatly be appreciated. I discovered your site at work today and will read more of it as I get a chance. Thank you and all the best!
Briefly here are the answer to the questions:
Not sure about the origin of the pain, but the combination of recent type B aortic dissection and body pain is always a red flag and need evaluation by knowledgable aortic specialist.
Likely that she will be lifelong on blood pressure medication, because once the dissection happens, there is no return to "normal" status. The remaining aorta is always abnormal.
Chance of reoccurrence is there but not very high if she remains compliant with blood pressure medications and is followed up by an aortic specialist.
Those are all very good questions and your mother should definitely ask her vascular surgeon to address them for her since he will have all of the information regarding the case. You should accompany when she discusses these issues with the surgeon to make sure you both understand the answers. Don't be afraid if the explanation is not clear to ask for a clarification. As a physician we often forget that knowledge we take for granted is not something the usual patient ever thinks about.
I can try to answer the questions but they will have to be general answers since I do not have details of your mothers case.
1. Chest and back pain are always worrisome after a dissection as signs of extension of the dissection or enlargement of the weakened aorta. There are of course other sources of pain and muscular pain certainly come to mind if they are relieved by rubbing, but I would keep a low threshold to do a CT scan to monitor the progress of the aorta and dissection.
2. Blood pressure control will always be important for you mother going forward. If she had hypertension that was not being treated then she will likely need medications for high blood pressure from now on.
3. The aorta is at its weakest in the first 6-9 months after a dissection. In that time the dissection can heal completely if the flow in the false lumen(space between the layers of the wall) stops and the blood clots and is reabsorbed or if the blood flow continues int he false lumen the body will put down fibrous tissue to try to strengthen the aorta. During this time it is particularly important to limit the stress on the aorta by keeping the BP tightly controlled and avoiding strenuous activities. Close monitoring is also important during this time with imaging such as CT or MRI to make sure the aorta is not expanding too rapidly and at risk of rupturing. If the dissection does not heal completely can still stabilize and enter a phase where it may grow very slowly and can be safely monitored for many years if not decades.
4. I don't know if she will ever be "normal" again, but there is a good chance she will return to a near normal quality of life, but she will always need medications for her blood pressure and regular follow-ups.
5. A dissection can occur again most commonly in another portion of the aorta. The most important steps in preventing that are controlling the BP and identifying the factors that lead to the first dissection and addressing them
Just an update, I took my Mom to her first follow up appointment today to her Vascular Surgeon. He was the one she first consulted on having the Angiogram and met with her daily while in the hospital. he had some interesting and good news for us. He stated my Mom was completely healed. I questioned him and said I thought she was diagnosed with an aortic dissection? He said yes your Mom had a dissection but it has healed, otherwise we wouldn't have let her leave the hospital. I again stated that the dissection was from her groin area and extended to? He said it extended to her upper chest. I then asked if any part of her dissection was there before the angiogram? He responded with a "No".
So I guess we can assume the angiogram was the cause of the dissection and it has completely healed? We were happy with the news but told him my Mom was having some chest pain and some back pain sometimes. My Mom said she would usually 'burp' and it would go away. The doctor was still concerned and ordered my Mom to have a scan performed in the coming week.
We have some more appointments with her GP and a cardiologist this week and we will have to see what they say. Thanks for your ear and support and we will likely get a donation out to you later this week. All the best and we will catch up come more later.

Lying a short distance off the Caribbean coast of Mexico, Cozumel gained notoriety in 1961 when Jacques Cousteau explored the spectacular coral reef.
Today's cruise passengers can snorkel amongst colourful fish or stay dry aboard a semi-submersible dive during their call at this lively port. Another popular tour heads to San Gervasio where Mayan ruins are set in the heart of Cozumel's tropical jungle. For a real blast of Mayan culture there's nowhere better than the day-long trip to Tulum on the mainland where the ancient city, perched atop a cliff, has over 60 impressive ruins of temples, palaces and altars. Catering to the host of cruise ships that arrive daily, there are plenty of bars where visitors can enjoy a variety of tequilas or local beers accompanied by the salsa beat; the embarrassment of powdery-soft beaches lapped by warm azure seas are ideal for chilling out.

The legal control is a preventive measure included in the new penal procedure code, necessary for making sure the culprit does not avoid investigation. As long as he is under legal control, Cosma must come to the National Anti-corruption Directorate or to the supervisory body, every time he is summoned, to provide information regarding possible changes of address, to be present at the supervisory body in accordance with the schedule set by the police and not to leave Romania without the previous approval from the prosecutor, along with the interdiction to have firearms. Medical sources quoted by Mediafax claim that Mircea Cosma was carried from Bucharest after the sentence directly to the Emergency Hospital in Ploiesti and was admitted in the cardiology section as his blood pressure is high. Those who reported against him in the corruption file of Prahova County Council president are three businessmen whose companies are under criminal investigation in the tax evasion and money laundering files with damages of EUR 35 million, one of them being under preventive arrest in this case.

- O mne a vlne
Úvod » Pradená vlna / HAND SPUN
V tejto kategórii nájdete jedinečné ručne pradené vlnky a priadze - moje handspunky.
Každé vlákno mi prejde rukami centimeter po centimetri niekoľko krát a každé klbko poznám dokonale. Sú to moje malé vlnené dietky, moji mojkáči.
Verím, že ich budete ľúbiť rovnako ako ja:))
I prepare and card the fibers myself on my carder and blending board by layering a combination of different hand-dyed fibers to create a nicely textured and colorful yarn.
Some of the fibers I use are merino, superwash merino, silk, bamboo,ramia, flax, silk noil, alpaca, mohair, milk, cotton, sea grass, angelina, fabric flowers, beads and what ever else tickles my fancy at the time.
I hand-dye the fiber with professional acid dyes that are colorfast and washfast.
Dyes are safe and comply with Oeko-Tex Standard 100.
Each yarn is unique, handmade and no two skeins will be identical (even within the same dye lot)
If you are interested in a skein, which is not in stock, but on order -I can repeat skeins, some easily, others are more complicated, so there may be possible color and texture differences, and that is still true that every skein is a little different. It is beauty of hand spinning :-)
(Note: I do my best to make sure the color looks accurate, but, everyone's monitor is different. So the color might look different in real life than it does on your computer. Hand-dyed colors vary from batch to batch, so please be sure to buy enough for your project.)
I prefer wool from sheep farms where the sheep graze on large grassy paddocks and are free from mulesing.
smoke-free, pet-free environment:-)

Brexit delayed?
New president speaks
New EU Commission president Ursula von der Leyen hinted at the possibility of a delay to the United Kingdom's exit from the bloc, which is scheduled for 31 October 2019. "I stand ready for further extension of the withdrawal date, should more time be required for a good reason," the former German defence minister told the EU parliament, who cited the preservation of citizens' rights and stability on the island of Ireland. Mrs Von der Leyen was booed by Brexit party MEPs, while party leader Nigel Farage said that she had "just made Brexit a lot more popular in the United Kingdom".
