IL2-Rα/CD25 (BC96) Mouse mAb (PE-Cy7® Conjugate) recognizes endogenous levels of total IL2-Rα/CD25 protein. This antibody detects an epitope within the extracellular domain.
This monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant via affinity chromatography. The purified antibody was conjugated under optimal conditions, with unreacted dye removed from the preparation.
Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is a T cell stimulatory cytokine best known for inducing T cell proliferation and NK cell proliferation and activation (1,2). IL-2 also promotes peripheral development of regulatory T cells (Tregs) (3,4). Conversely, IL-2 is involved in the activation-induced cell death (AICD) that is observed post T cell expansion by increasing levels of Fas on CD4+ T cells (5). The effects of IL-2 are mediated through a trimeric receptor complex consisting of IL-2Rα, IL-2Rβ, and the common gamma chain, γc (1,2). IL-2Rα binds exclusively to IL-2 with low affinity and increases the binding affinity of the whole receptor complex including IL-2Rβ and γc subunits. IL-15 also binds to IL-2Rβ (1,2). γc is used by other cytokines including IL-4, IL-7, IL-9, IL-15, and IL-21 (1,2). Binding of IL-2 initiates signaling cascades involving Jak1, Jak3, Stat5, and the PI3K/Akt pathways (1,2).

Bedford wins golf title
PORTSMOUTH – A little wind couldn't bother the Bedford High School golf team.
No, the Bulldogs, even though they hadn't even practiced at neutral site Portsmouth Country Club, rode a one-over par 73 from sophomore C.J. LaDue to take their fourth straight Division I team title on Tuesday.
"We just told the kids to keep it in the middle of the fairway and two putts," Bedford coach Dan Colburn said. "Especially on a windy day. We've got to keep it in the middle, keep it low and keep it out of trouble. Don't try to do too much with the ball, keep it simple."
They kept it not only simple, but with a 398 team total, six shots ahead of both Keene and Pinkerton, who tied for second at 404. Pinkerton was actually awarded the second place plaque due to the sixth golfer tiebreaker.
The Bulldogs, despite being three-time defending champions, weren't the favorites going in, as they finished 16-4, tied for fourth during the regular season with Bishop Guertin.
But they clearly had the right touch on Tuesday. Stoughton Bell had a 77, while Brady Burke (81), Luke Ramsay (82), and Jon Giroux (85) rounded out the team scoring. LaDue leads the individual event and will return to Portsmouth CC on Saturday at 10:30 a.m., along with Bell (tied for fourth), Burke and Ramsay, all of whom made the 83-score cut.
As for the team event, Salem was fourth with a 413 while Concord rounded out the top five at 417.
The other team scores were Exeter at 420 in sixth, Dover seventh at 422, Bishop Guertin and Alvirne tied for eighth at 427, just ahead of Timberlane, which was 10th out of the 10 teams at 428.
Guertin's tough day was a surprise. The Cards, who had a rebuilding year last year, had lost to Bedford by a combined three shots in 2014-15.
They didn't know the course," Guertin coach Paul Rousseau said of his team. "It was windy, and they got nervous. They don't play in enough tournaments I think, just to walk out here and play in a state tournament.
"And once it starts going bad, you start pressing. And once you start pressing, it's tough. You can't get it back. It's a funny game. You have to be mentally prepared the whole time."
Cam Sheedy led the Cards with a 10-over 82. Jack Fitzgerald had an 84 and Ryan Morgan an 85. Alex Koutsos and Graham Diack each had an 88.
The killer it seemed for many was the back nine, which is near the water and the wind conditions get worse.
"Once they went down 10, 11, 12, out there, in the Great Bay, you need two extra clubs and they're swinging as hard as they can, that's what screws them all up," Rousseau said. "They think they have to hit it 5,000 miles. Just in the fairway, on the green. Just let it happen."
The Bulldogs did, and now they're champions again. Who knows when this streak will stop?
"We're really young, we only had one senior (Connor McCullough)," Colburn said. "We're pretty deep, we've got a good JV program, so we're looking to keep it going."7

Social Psychology
For information about group meetings, click where and when groups meet, then click the group name.
To find out more - click the pigeon to send a message to the group leader
This past session we continued to study Social Psychology using the book by Michael Hogg & Graham Vaughan for our core reading. Social psychology shares a number of features with other fields within psychology and other disciplines such as anthropology. It is often described as having bridged the gap between psychology and sociology as it looks at human behaviour as influenced by other people and the social context in which this occurs.
The subject matter that we used in this session provided something for everyone. We looked at topics such as:
- Impression formation
- Social Identity theory
- Stereotyping, attribution theories
- Conspiracy theories
- Pro-social behaviour, bystander effect
- What makes us happy, World Happiness Report
- Memory, what makes us forget.
Our aim is to apply these discussions to real world issues and above all to be socially relevant. Occasionally we divide our sessions into short DVD showings followed by discussion. It is the aim of the group leader to encourage participation by recruiting members to occasionally lead the group. We look forward to another year using Michael Hogg & Graham Vaughan's book on Social Psychology.

Before the Dawn is a sexy short shot of romance, paranormal drama and wolfish delight. It's a fast paced novella that covers the gamut of what I look for in a book without being too heavy handed on any of its conflicts.
Samantha is the heroine who has the most adjustment to make in this tale. She's been living a lie and what I really liked about getting to follow her on her journey was that nothing was as it first appeared. I was surprised, which is a credit to the author's talent. Samantha has a great capacity for forgiveness despite what she's gone through. I credit that to her mostly normal upbringing when she was her littlest.
Nicodemus has his hands full. He's the man who has to juggle all the issues and problems Samantha unknowingly carries with her and I liked that the hero was written in a strong manner. Admittedly he comes across as an alpha jerk too. But for all his heavy handedness, I appreciated that he liked Samantha standing up to him and refusing to take any of his guff. When they butt heads it is fun and entertaining reading. I got to see Nicodemus at his wolfie best and that was fun too.
When Samantha and Nicodemus finally culminate their hot passion it was well done and nicely balanced within the action of the tale. I liked their dialogue, their push/pull relationship and the way the author had them work it all out.
Granted, it being a short story means things happen fast. Some jumps occur that seems way too convenient and improbable; but having the protagonists plod their way through logic and strict reality would have bogged down the story and stalled the fast pace. I guess something had to give. Who needs pesky logic when the story is so fun?
The villains were delightfully treacherous and nasty and I enjoyed how the author lead me through the dawning realization of just how insidious were their plans. It made the final confrontation satisfying.
I give Before the Dawn high marks for entertainment value. It is totally a standalone read with only minor references to the previous book, Dark Forest. This story is wholly focused on Samantha and Nicodemus with a few interesting secondary characters to spice things up. It's a one sitting read due to the author's talent of making each chapter even more interesting or revealing than the last. I think paranormal romance readers are going to like this one, especially if they enjoyed Dark Forest. Ms. Weylin knows how to weave a fun tale.

A highlight of the second half of the program was Vivaldi's Concerto for lute in D Major, RV 93 performed lovingly by Lucas Harris. With an accompaniment of just two violins, violoncello, double bass and harpsichord, nothing was missed from his sensitive playing. Particularly effective was the second movement. The sweet love-song accompanied by whole notes in the violins and a minimal bass and continuo support was very touching.
Review by David Richards
Toronto ON October 13th 2018
Tafelmusik's vitality fits with Vivaldi's vivacious spirit!
Last night, Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra continued its 40th anniversary season, presenting its second of six performances of a program they called, Vivaldi con Amore. A selection of seven of Antonio Vivaldi's five hundred concertos and the Sinfonia from one of his fifty or so operas gave a thorough retrospective of his instrumental music. Vivaldi was indeed an eighteenth century 'rock-star' composer/violinist/opera-impresario. There were few empty seats in the Jeanne Lamon Hall in the Trinity-St. Paul's Centre for a concert that delivered unbridled joy, vivacity and 'amore'.
Although Vivaldi was a contemporary of J.S. Bach, there is none of the harmonic or contrapuntal complexities of Bach's music. Instead, Vivaldi's music depends on the rhythmic energy found in dazzling scales and arpeggios, a driving pulse, playful imitation and soulful melodies in the slow movements. The music's fast-slow-fast three-movement structure is a staple of Vivaldi. From the form, one always knows where the music is heading; it's the process of getting there that holds the listener's attention. Last night is was the amore in the playing of each member of the ensemble and especially in the playing of the soloists, all members of Tafelmusik, that made this concert special.
Music Director Elisa Citterio led an orchestra of just twelve strings complemented by two oboes, bassoon, lute/guitar and harpsichord in various combinations as the music required. Citterio performed as soloist in two violin concertos, Concerto for violin in C minor, RV 761 "Amato bene" and Concerto for violin in E Major, RV 534. Throughout the remainder of the program she lent her support to other members of the ensemble who in turn took on solo roles. Her splendid playing always delights. Yet it is in her invitational style of leadership that she brings the orchestra to perform with precision, joy and sparkling musicality.
Citterio's solo playing left little doubt as to the reason that Vivaldi was such a sought-after violinist in his day. As Hannah French said in her pre-concert talk about Vivaldi's life with the orphan girls of Ospedale della Pietà, audiences would come to his operas just to hear him perform on his violin during intermission.
The woodwinds rounded out the first half of the program. Bassoonist Dominic Teresi was as brilliant in Concerto for bassoon in D Minor, RV 481 as he was a few weeks ago performing a Mozart concerto with Tafelmusik. He is certainly a musical treasure. Oboists John Abberger and Marco Cera combined in Vivaldi's Concerto for 2 oboes in C Major, RV 534. Their fast-paced runs through the range of their instrument always a third apart was impressive to say the least. I always love the warm tones that the baroque woodwind instruments create. The volume of sound may not penetrate a large orchestra like modern instruments, but in a setting with a small ensemble of strings playing on gut strings, it is magical.

The program ended with two concertos that featured groups of soloists. Violinists Elisa Citterio, Cristina Zacharias, Patricia Ahern and Geneviève Gilardeau performed Concerto for 4 Violins in B-flat Major, RV 553. Their phrases were passed antiphonally in pairs or imitatively from one soloist to the next always with a balance of virtuosity and pleasing melody. The program ended with Abberger and Marco joining Citterio and Julia Wedman in a high-spirited Concerto for 2 oboes, and 2 violins in D Major, RV 564.
Citterio's affinity for Vivaldi has become very clear in her short time with Tafelmusik. Last year, she performed each of the four concertos in Vivaldi's Four Seasons. Later this winter, her first recording with Tafelmusik will be released. It will be a recording of music by Vivaldi of course.
I was lucky to be sitting next to Citterio's husband and daughter who was born just before Citterio took over Tafelmusik. It was a treat to see this toddler, not yet two, watch the program attentively (most of the time), applaud enthusiastically and run up the aisle toward the stage at the end of the concert. There is no doubt where the amore came from in this concert.
Tafelmusik will repeat this program tonight, October 13 at 8pm and tomorrow, October 14 at 3:30pm at Jeanne Lamon Hall, Trinity-St. Paul's Centre. On Tuesday, October 16 at 8pm, it will be performed at the George Weston Recital Hall, Toronto Centre for the Arts. Be sure to catch the pre-concert chat by BBC broadcaster and musicologist Hannah French for insight into Vivaldi's life at a Venetian orphanage for girls.

Love, Diamonds
It's 1987. President Reagan just told Premier Gorbachev to "tear down this wall." The first episodes of The Simpsons appear on The Tracey Ullman Show. Baby Blake Lively is one month old. America's Sweetheart, Chris Evert, is playing tennis with her signature two-handed backhand. She's the world's most recognized athlete, the "ice princess" who's unflappable under pressure. She's even on the Wheaties box.
But today, she stops play at the U.S. Open, a tournament she's won six times, because she has a problem. She's dropped her diamond bracelet on the court and the match will have to wait until she finds it. The television cameras catch the sparkle and women everywhere catch their breath. When asked later about the incident, Chris says "I dropped my tennis bracelet" and a new jewelry category is born.
Diamond line bracelets didn't start with Chris, of course. Flappers wore them in the roaring Twenties. Diamond bracelets have always been on every well-dressed woman's wish list. But until Chris dropped her bracelet that day, they were evening wear. An elegant accessory for the theater or a dinner party. Chris showed that a diamond bracelet was something you could wear anytime, anywhere. Even on the court. So, immediately, every woman wanted one.
Flash forward 26 years. The tennis bracelet, like The Simpsons, is still going strong, both on and off the court. Serena Williams wears one, of course. Miley Cyrus wears one. So does Michelle Obama. And Tina Fey, Kerry Washington, Jennifer Aniston, Emmy Rossum, the list goes on and on.
As you can see, a diamond line bracelet is gorgeous alone and also the star of any arm party. Its sleek flexible setting drapes over your wrist. It doesn't bang around like a bangle, so it's comfortable enough to wear to work, catching your eye at your keyboard. Go to any red carpet and you'll see tennis bracelets on most of the women who walk by.
We have our own version, of course. It's called the Heru Bracelet and it dazzles with 3.40 carats of diamonds. And a very sturdy clasp. We think Chris would approve. And you will too.

Toy Story 4 - DVD Review
Review by Rob Carnevale
TAKEN at face value, Toy Story 4 might seem like an unnecessary addition to the beloved Pixar franchise that is simply content to retread old ground. But that would be to grossly underestimate the many themes at play.
For while the central plotting certainly does evoke a sense of deja vu, given that Woody (Tom Hanks), Buzz (Tim Allen) and company are forced to embark on yet another adventure that involves toys that have become separated and in need of rescue, its the themes that continue to deliver the real gold.
There's the usual separation anxiety as well as the value of toys. But there's also a newfound sense of what it is to grow up (for the toys as much as the adults) and to take life into your own hands. As such, it's existential, while also nodding to the difficulty of parenting in the modern era.
Josh Cooley's film, based on a screenplay co-written by Rashida Jones, Andrew Stanton, Will McCormack and Stephany Folsom, plays as well (if not better) to the adults who have grown up with this franchise, as it does to the kids who may be seeing a Toy Story film in the cinema for the first time.
It's still fun, of course, and wildly inventive. While the characters are a blast: whether old or new. And Pixar's ability to leave you in emotional tatters, while shedding the odd tear or two, is also present and maddeningly correct.
The story, in basic form, finds Woody and crew embarking on a road trip with new owner Bonnie and her new favourite 'toy', a self-made creation named Forky (a Spork, voiced by Tony Hale), who has provided some unlikely reassurance to her during her orientation day at nursery.
Woody's task is to play 'dad' to Forky, who considers himself nothing but trash and wants to escape to a rubbish bin at every opportunity. But when Forky does manage to escape, Woody goes after him and – in doing so – becomes reunited with his long-lost friend, and potential love, Bo Peep (Annie Potts), while also having to contend with the unwanted attention of an antique pull-string doll named Gabby Gabby (Christina Hendricks), who has designs on Woody's voice box.
As with all three previous Toy Story films, the ensuing adventure is both eye-catchingly beautiful and rip-roaringly fun, combining knockabout moments of comedy with inventive visual gags, plenty of classic film references and knowing verbal humour. Put simply, it's a blast being in the company of these characters once again.
What's more, all of the newcomers make an impact, with Keanu Reeves' Canadian stuntman Duke Caboom arguably the pick of the bunch.
But while ensuring that audiences will have a great time, the creators of this fourth film also endeavour to make it a worthwhile journey too: one capable of making you think as well as laugh. There's a real depth of emotion, particularly late on.
The themes resonate. And they're not afraid to go deep. The lifelong struggle of being a parent [and a child], and knowing when to let go, is reflected in Woody's relationship with everyone around him (including, ultimately, himself), and builds to some heart-rending decisions.
But those existential elements also reminded me of Pixar's ability to continually tackle life's big questions in its films, whether in those first 20 minutes of Up, the opening 30 minutes of Wall-E, or the whole journey of its central protagonist in Inside/Out (which, coincidentally, Cooley helped to create). Woody's journey is ultimately about taking control of his own destiny and overcoming the demons that have been holding him back.
It leads to a beautifully bittersweet conclusion and one that's delivered in typically note-perfect fashion. And it ensures that a really good fourth entry into the Toy Story franchise can – like its predecessors – truly be regarded as great.

Six years ago, I had just gotten out of a really unhealthy relationship. I was sitting at my kitchen table with a broken heart and a life I had to somehow pick up the pieces to, so I grabbed a pen and page and made a list. "Things You Have To Do To Survive." On my list was "Lift." I didn't really know the ways this would help, but I was desperate to try anything and just keep myself busy, honestly.
I had just gotten a job at 24 Hour Fitness, so this step was made convenient for me. I remember being so nervous to start, since I really didn't know what I was doing. Most of my life's workouts had consisted of cardio or body weight exercises, so I truly didn't know what a weight lifting workout consisted of.
I started researching workouts like crazy on YouTube and Bodybuilding.com, and began trying out new workouts in the back room where they did classes, since I was still a little nervous to come out and go to the free weights and machines with everyone else. I started really looking forward to my workouts. It was my time of escape where I could stop thinking and thinking and thinking and just DO.
Finally, I moved out of the back room and onto the floor with everyone else. Once I worked out there for the first time, I felt way more comfortable. Whatever discomfort I had was instantly forgotten about the second I started a set. Eventually, one of the bodybuilders who frequented the gym noticed me working out (let's be honest, probably just wanted to save me from the bad form I'm sure I had) and took me under his veiny wing (lol) and taught me all about workouts and nutrition. I was learning SO much and having the time of my life!
And that's where it all started. My journey from there would take a lot of twists and turns I never expected. One time during an open gym, I had a really bad knee injury that has affected my training since then. Additionally, I developed Hashimotos disease, which has made it a lot harder to workout, primarily because of inflammation and low energy levels. I always pushed through it, though I had to take a break for a while (which will be addressed in another post.) Despite all the set backs and challenges, I just feel really grateful that I have something I love so much and has given me so much more back than I ever thought when I first started investing in it.
Lifting gave me an escape from my mind and allowed me to feel. Lifting showed me that I am strong, both mentally and physically. Lifting showed me I don't have to wait for somebody to bring me the life I want, I can start working towards it, step-by-step, goal-by-goal. Lifting showed me my biggest competition was myself, that I don't need to compare to anyone else, just focus on my set. Lifting changed my perspective on fitness. All my life I had worked out to "look" a certain way, when it turns out the best part lifting was feeling my muscles in action and knowing how much stronger I am getting every day. Lifting made me appreciate my body and all the amazing things it can do. Lifting gave me a healthy outlet to work through a lot of negative feelings in a really positive way. Lifting is my competitive outlet now that I'm not in sports anymore. There is so much more I could say, but I'm just sitting down writing this after coming back from my little hiatus, overjoyed at being back in the gym, thanking God for such an amazing blessing.
I'm back.

Jennifer + Luke
Today marks the first day of fall. What better way to say goodbye to summer then a blog post from Mexico.
In May Michael and I had the privilege of traveling to Mexico to photograph Jenn and Luke's wedding. It has been one of my highlights since starting Hannah Mulligan Photography. As much as we love to travel and as much as I love what I do; to be able to combine the two was something magical. Jennifer and Luke decided to take their family and closest friends to a resort in Cancun to have their wedding. For us to be involved in such a small, fun, intimate setting I felt more like a friend then a vendor. They were so warm and welcoming to both Michael and I. The wedding day was filled with some of our favorite things. First and foremost the BEACH, romance, music, fun, HEAT and LOVE! Talk about a laid back day. For all you brides who are looking for something different think about a destination wedding! I dont think you will be disappointed!

Uber has made our life so easy by providing experienced drivers that drive us around anytime we want. It is a leader in this industry and is operating in 77 countries which make taxi booking apps like Uber worth investing in. This is probably the reason why many firm owners' want to invest in taxi booking app development and come up with an app just like Uber.
But this is not an easy job; it takes professionals and proper research of the market and target customer. Moreover, you need to know what features the taxi app development must include, and how much it will cost to make a taxi booking app.
Features of Taxi App Development:
A taxi app like Uber has two-fold features- one for the passenger and one for the driver. Let's talk about both of them so that it is easier for you to get the gist of this.
Passenger features for taxi booking app:
The first thing to do is login/register to the app. Provide the users with options like phone number, email or social button to register and log in. Also, this should take the user to the profile screen where they give basic details about them and provide credit card or other payment details.
Booking interface
This is the main screen where the user will be able to provide their pickup address, select the cab type and provide the address of the destination the cab will drop him/her off.
Tracking (Map)
A map to see where the driver is and how much time will he take to come to pick you up. It also tracks the route and provides estimate arrival time once you start your ride.
Price calculator
Most taxi booking apps have this feature nowadays. They calculate the estimated amount a person has to pay for traveling from one place to another. It becomes easy for the user to choose a cab once they know how much they have to pay and almost all the time this price is accurate.
(If you make the driver wait or take detours, the price will certainly change)
Users already set the payment method when they sign up, but while booking the cab they should have the option to select from the methods or simply pay cash. Also, an invoice of the same should be mailed or messaged to them.
Push notifications
Send push notification to update the user about the driver's name and details of car and time of arrival etc.
Also, the app should have a review system, booking history, and the means to contact the consumer services to solve any problems about a specific ride. Tabs for this must be implemented in the app.
Features of Taxi Driver App:
For the drivers, the taxi booking app must have these features:
It includes registering as a driver and providing your full profile with verification and getting approval by an administrator. It also includes providing or selecting a schedule that the drivers are comfortable with for work. Also, it lets you show the admin panel your status of being online (ready to receive work) or not.
Booking the ride
It includes the option for the driver to accept or deny the ride. It also has details about customers' location for pickup and drops off. Moreover, booking history to keep track of all the work you had done.
Push notification
To keep the driver updated about taxi booking data like location, payment, route selected or more. Also, alerts should be sent when the driver is starting or ending the ride.
The driver should have access to a GPS service like Google maps so that they know which route to take, how much traffic they will face and the estimated time. It also helps when the customer and the driver both don't know about the route to the destination address.
Support and payment method details etc.
The administration that handles the connection between a customer and the driver also has a central panel. It is a web application and manages the interaction between driver and customers. It also provides data about payments and routes etc.
Note: it is important to know about these features because having a taxi booking application development with certain features or not, can make a huge difference in the cost and its success.
Technology for Taxi Booking App Development
Taxi apps like Uber get thousands of user and drivers request. So, to process such bulk data you need a server that is capable of this, just like Uber, you need to build your own server for handling this.
For backend purposes the languages you can use for can be python, ruby on rails, node.js, python or PHP.
This is a crucial element for taxi booking app development. OpenStreetMap can be used for this purpose, and this works for both Android and IOS. But if you want specific platform- chose Google map for android, and MapKit and CoreLocation framework for IOS.
Payment getaway
For a taxi booking app, payment getaway is crucial as most people prefer online transaction instead of cash. So, it can be PayPal or credit cards or paytm. For setting up payment getaway you can choose the following platforms – stripe, Brain tree, PayPal and paytm.
Push notification
To send push notification, these platforms work the best. Google firebase for android and apple push for IOS devices.
How much does it cost to develop a taxi booking app like Uber?
The financial aspect depends on various factors and the region you are developing the app for. For developing a taxi booking app you will need these departments:
- Backend and web development
- Native app development for android and IOS.
- Design
- Management
Each department will need 2-3 people to work and depending on the time spent by them a taxi booking app Development Company will charge you per hour. Like the backend services alone takes up 100-200 hours.
Also, the native app development for either platform (IOS and Android) takes up at least 200 hours. And most companies would like to invest in both as target customers are divided. This adds up to the cost.
So, the hourly rate for developing a taxi booking app like Uber is:
- $20-40- Asia
- $40-80- Europe,
Taxi booking app development is a hard task, but if you have a professional team your taxi booking app will come out beautifully, and all the investment would be worth it. The reason is simple, there are many people who demand cars for travelling, and if you can provide a taxi booking app with great features and discount, you will certainly be successful.

My HAIR on My Mind: Shedding ...!
I have been shedding a lot. It is getting to the point where I have been questioning continuing with this HHJ. I am almost 2 years into this journey and my hair, although it is thicker, it certainly isn't anywhere near where I think it should be at this stage of my journey. I even had to do yet another trim to deal with the effects in an attempt to nip it in the bud before it gets worse.
In the years pre HHJ when I shed like this I just got on with it and wasn't in the least bit worried seeing my hair all over the floor of every room. It was 'normal' so it really wasn't a problem. But now that I am aware of the health of my hair and scalp and the damage shedding and breakage can do, I really am bothered about my hair going through this phase yet again. It seems to have been continuous over the past year and it REALLY IS BOTHERING ME. It's upsetting, almost to the point where it is depressing me! So much so I was thinking of taking a break from blogging altogether, Not posting. Not reading other hair blogs. No YouTube viewing. No research. Nothing!!!
But I can't do that. There is definitely a problem which I need to get to the root of (pardon the pun!). I figure if doing what I have been doing is not working then I am forced to try different tactics.
I washed my hair on Wednesday after taking down my crochet braids and didn't shed that much at all. I then had to cowash on Thursday as my scalp was itching and my hair felt dry. I shed alot during and after the cowash. I then cowashed again on Saturday because my hair still felt dry. Again, I shed alot during and after the process.
In between cowashes I have been moisturising like a mofo! This has consisted of a moistiurising spritz made of Elasta Olive Oil & Mango Butter mixed with water from my shower filter. On my nape and edges and all around the perimeter of my hairline I used the Elasta OO&MB straight out of the jar. I have also been using Taliah Waajid Mist Bodifier and At One Leave In Conditioner with Argan Oil. I have been sealing with mostly coconut oil and sometimes hemp seed oil (I really need to replenish my grapeseed oil) and applying various serums as required. Last night I added some AVJ to the moisturising spritz and saturated my hair, put in 8 x 2 strand twists and baggied my whole head overnight.
Five days later I am pleased to say that my hair is finally responding and feels softer and less dry. I have been bunning since Wednesday and using some bulk braid hair to create my bun. I have been switching the postion of the bun on a daily basis. Funnily enough my real bun is longer and feels thicker than it has for quite sometime. Maybe this shedding is just down to the adjustment post protective style? I considered whether it was the MN but I don't think it was as I would have shed more when taking out the protective style.
It really has been hard work trying to get my hair to play ball, without falling out in my hands and/or onto the bathroom floor. It's just so depressing to see all my hard work walking it's way out of my scalp. I have been inspecting the hair than I have lost and the vast majority of it is shed hair as it has a bulb attached to it. There is only a small amount of broken hair but the split is like 90% shedding and 10% breakage. My strands of hair actually feel strong and have good elasicity when wet or dry and they pass the strand test easily. With the hair that is shed I have noticed since last year that the bulb is really small and almost non-existent. A lot of the time I need to run the strand through my fingers to actually feel for the bulb as opposed to relying on sight alone. I don't think this is normal and it seems like the bulb/follicle is stunted/minimised. Maybe this is causing the shedding. Either way, this has been going on for way too long - almost 2 years is too long in any ones book – right?
I have taken a look back through all of the 'shedding tags' on my blog (having a blog has got to be THE BEST way to retrace your footsteps from previous months/years to see if there is pattern to your experiences) and I was hoping to see that my worst shedding happened around this time last year. Unfortunately the search was inconclusive as I have been shedding pretty much all of 2011! However, this post from18th April '11 stood out so I think I will keep up the application of Aloe Vera Juice to my hair and scalp. I added it to the moisturising spritz last night and my shedding yesterday evening and this morning are minimal and in a normal level. I don't know if this is down to the AVJ or the changes I have made since last Friday but I'll just keep doing what I am doing. I will also do a black tea rinse over the weekend. I don't really like doing the black tea rinse as they make my hair feel hard, however this is only directly after application. They are also a bit messy as I always end up with tea all over the place. On the bright side they are less messy than ayuvedic tea rinses so it could be worse.
During my post cowash rant to my boyfriend on Saturday, I told him how upset I am with the state of my hair, the first thing he suggested that could make it better was revising my diet. He is a bit of a health-nut and believes in having a good diet and always tells me that you get out of your body what you put into it. He is right. Coincidently, since Friday 23rd March, I have been taking the following supplements daily:
Ferrous Sulphate ~ Iron (2)
Hair, Skin & Nails (2)
l-Lysine 500mg (1)
MSM 750mg (1)
Garlic Capsules (2)
Zinc & Magnesium (1)
Evening Primrose Oil Capsules (1)
Vitamin B6 (1)
Raw carrot (1)
I also mentioned my hair woes with my mum and my sister yesterday and they both mentioned incorporating supplements into my regimen. This is something that they have both mentioned before and it is something that I have failed to do effectively in the past. I plan to be more focused with it now and in addition to this, I have also revised my diet.
I have been putting off starting a healthy eating regimen for years!!! Being naturally pretty slim I have always been able to 'get away with' my really not-so-healthy eating habits which generally consist of eating exactly what I want. Typically this would be things like cream cakes, bacon sandwiches, biscuits, cakes, orange juice, fried food, rice, potatoes, pasta, chocolate and fat laden dressings.
In the evenings I cook mostly from scratch and the meals are generally pretty healthy well balanced with a balance of steamed vegetables etc but I know I can do more to improve upon what goes into my body and in turn, reduce the size of my pot belly and hopefully improve on the health of my hair and strengthen it at root level by improving the quality of the follicles.
So, from now on I will go back to my 2009 – 2010 eating habits which will be to have a big lunch (such as a healthy salad and some sort of protein) and will not have a main meal in the evening, unless I am hungry. If I do feel hungry which I haven't often when I have done this in the past, I will have healthy low fat dinner such as steamed fish or chicken with vegetables, or prawns with salad and couscous and on those occasions I need to eat early i.e. straight after work. I will no longer eat bread and I will only eat rice or pasta very occasionally. This should help me to loose the half a stone I have put on in recent months. If the past is anything to go by I will shift the half stone in about 7 days and then maintain my weight at 9½ stone. Goodness knows what I will do regarding breakfast, I will need to give that some thought, but for now I am eating 2 different types of fruit, Fruit Crunch Rivita and water. I will probably incorporate more fruit, weetabix, Greek yoghurt and honey as this should be doable.
I have also upped my water intake and will try my hardest to maintain it at 1ltr (or more) per day. I am not really a water drinker so the middle ground for me will be to drink Volvic Touch of Lemon & Lime flavoured water which I happily sip on. I drink the version with added sugar as I hate the taste of artificial sweetner in drinks, especially when at room temperature which is how I prefer to drink my water.
I will also start to do a little gentle but regular (gentle) exercise, in the form of a jog around the block. I started last night with a 15min jog and I will aim to increase this but seeing as I don't do a jot of exercise and haven't really since leaving school (over 20 years ago!) I will be easing myself into it – gently, cos the aim of this is not to half kill myself!! I will go for another jog tonight, covernig the same route and every night after work this week.
I think that all of this will help me to improve on both my overall health and this should pay dividends with my hair. At least this way it gives me a distraction from my hair falling out!!
I am probably over reacting as my hair is not coming out in clumps. It is probably partly adjusting to just coming out of a month long protective style but I just want my hair to stay on my head and not end up in the bin!!!

Great post! You know what, there are more of us "slow progressers" than you think! I just saw a post on LHCF of a woman who took 7 years to go from SL to BSL. It was super encouraging to me because like you...I feel like I should be SO much longer by now! But the truth of it is, if our hair is healthier or even slightly longer its a success. We could be shorter or less healthy if we weren't on our journeys you know?ReplyDelete
I like your inside-out approach and I bet that will help so much. Kudos to your BF for being supportive and providing a helpful suggestion!
I know exactly what you mean with the shedding...my hair has been shedding with breakage in-between for the past month. I feel like I'm at my wits end as to what to do. I'm going to clarify and do a regi I found on the Science of Black Hair website that is supposed to address shedding and breakage on my next wash day. Hope it works :(ReplyDelete
"Slow progresser" I'm definitely in that team!
It's really motivating to hear about the woman who took 7 years to get to BSL. Not that it took her so long, but the fact that she stuck with it. That is some serious dedication there (",) Well done to her!!!
You're right about the health of our hair improving despite feeling like the progress has been minimal. The increase in health is a good thing. Like you say, if we weren't on this journey our hair would most likely be shorter and a lot less healthy. If I wasn't on this HHJ I would be near bald for sure!!! My low iron levels have really taken the oooomph outta my strands.
On reflection my hair probably isn't as bad as I think it is. I just want it to be better because of all the hard work and attention I have paid to it. I really want the shedding to stop so I can concentrate on getting my grow on!
Thanks for commenting ECP.....it has really made me feel so much better.
Hiya (",)
Thanks for posting!!!
I really hope your clarifying wash works for you.
I feel you on being at your wits end girl. There is nothing worse than knowing you have to M&S or wash your hair but dreading it because you know you're gonna end up covered in shed and broken strands. I feel like I wanna cry when I can see strands gathering at the ends of my hair which come away from the rest of my hair with a gentle feather light pull. I just think of the hard effort and money and then feel like a fool for being stuck where I am (which is usually in the bathroom messing with my hair or cleaning it up off the floor!).
That said, I'm gonna do a chealating wash with some ORS Creamy Aloe shampoo tonight and then maybe dc overnight to see if that is what is causing the problem. I don't think I have done once since my corrective relaxer.
I'm also going to check out the Science of Black Hair website to see if there are anymore tips I can pick up.
Good Luck!
As I read through your post, before I got the part about your BF's suggestion, my first thought was that maybe an internal approach is needed. My grandmother always says "healthy insides mirrors a healthy outside" and I believe it. Yay for a supportive BF and his suggestion!ReplyDelete
I like the planned/organized approach you're taking to solving your shedding. I don't think you're overreacting, you've put substantial time and effort into your hair. It's perfectly normal (IMHO) to want to get to the root of a problem when it's regarding something you value.
I agree with you about black tea making your hair hard. My hair reacts the same way and clumps together, but once I follow up with Roux PC, it feels normal again. And it is messy. I tried doing it in my kitchen sink once... never again. I got tea every where. I now only do it in the shower, taking my pitcher into the shower with me and just pouring it over my head.
Best look on your plans, rooting for you!!!
Have you ever tried garlic? They have garlic shampoo and conditioner, or you can add garlic powder to your conditioner or even just garlic paste. Check it out, it's really supposed be wonderful for shedding.ReplyDelete
Awww, my BF is gonna love all this glory coming his way when I show him the comments from ECP and yourself. He's gonna be in his element.
I feel that I am grabbing the bull by the horns so to speak and trying all that I can do to sort out this damn shedding. I have been consistent with taking the supplements and improving my diet. I have even been for 2 x jogs, although I skipped it last night in favour of one or two drinks with my really good friend who I have not seen for ages!
Thanks for the comment Jeni, it does help. Interesting to hear that the black tea does the exact same thing to both of us. I don't think I have applied Roux Porosity straight afterwards. I will need to check the blog and see.

Yes, I have tried using products containing garlic. Last year I brought some Nutrine Garlic conditioner, which I love using for cowashes and some Alter Ego Hot Oil Treatment with garlic which I also like alot. I haven't used either since taking out my protective style. Thanks for reminding me to do so. I didn't wash my hair last night but I will do tonight and will use either Nutrine or Alter Ego to see what effect it has.
Thanks for commenting!
if there's such thing as "Slow progresser" then I pressumed I belong to the "not progressing" group.ReplyDelete
my continuous hair loss is really freakin' me out. No matter what kind of treatment or cure i used. Then I used hair growth helmet and it works well on me and my hair condition is now normal :)

Step Into History
CALUMET TOWNSHIP – The Keweenaw National Historical Park and the Western Upper Peninsula Health Department are partnering with a program to get people physically active while getting educated about local history at the same time, according to Arnie Kinnunen.
Kinnunen, who is the health department prevention specialist, said the Step Into History program is funded by a National Park Foundation Active Trails grant applied for by KNHP.
"The idea is to host a series of outdoor activities with a focus in the Calumet area," he said. "We have some activities in the Hancock area."
The former Quincy Smelting Works site in Ripley is tentatively planned as one of the sites for the event, Kinnunen said.
The first event will be a snowshoe walk around Calumet Lake from 6 to 7 p.m. Feb. 20, Kinnunen said. The walk starts and ends at Siskiwit Park near Pine and Waterworks streets. There is some on-street parking available. Parking will also be available at the Habitat For Humanity ReStore on Pine Street.
The course for the walk at Calumet Lake is about a mile, Kinnunen said, but participants don't have to be limited to that.
"If somebody wants to go more, they can," he said.
There will be snowshoes available for those who don't have their own, Kinnunen said.
"Call ahead so we can reserve something," he said.
Kinnunen can be reached at 482-7382, ext. 189.
More than walking is planned for the event at Calumet Lake, Kinnunen said.
'We're going to have a bonfire afterwards," he said.
For each event, Kinnunen said either he or Bridget Durocher will represent the Health Department. There will also be a representative of KNHP to explain the historical significance of each site.
On Feb. 27, Kinnunen said there will be a children's snowshoe event at Agassiz Park in Calumet during the CopperDog 150 dog sled race. Events are tentatively planned for the entire year, Kinnunen said, and they will be announced as dates are set. Possible events include disc golfing, cross-country skiing, kayaking and geocaching.
There is no cost for any of the Step Into History events, Kinnunen and they are designed for everyone.
"It's very much family oriented," he said. "We want to get people moving. I think these are going to be great events for the community."

RAVENNA — A nativity scene that was added to the Christmas display at the Ravenna Courthouse Lawn last year won't return after the mayor cited a conflict of church and state.
Last year, Mayor Frank Seman allowed the wooden nativity, which was painted by a city resident. The painter, who did not want to be named, said last year that she had lived in Ravenna for 12 years and had never seen a nativity on the lawn among the other decorations. She said there was huge support from the community for the nativity. The wooden display was accompanied by a sign with a Bible verse.
At the time, Seman said he believed the display was "representative of large numbers of folks in Portage County."
This year, the organizers had reportedly planned to add an angel to the display.
The mayor said he doesn't have a problem with the nativity personally. In fact, he's a church-going man himself.
"I do enjoy seeing it," he said. "But when people complained, I could not defend it. For me, if I cannot defend something when people complain, I should not be doing it. They were really taking me to task. I probably shouldn't have allowed it last year."
Seman said organizers of the annual Midnight Madness event recently met to discuss decoration plans for the event, which takes place the day after Thanksgiving. The committee made plans to replace some worn decorations, and that's where the announcement about the nativity was made. He said reports that the decorations will not use the words "Merry Christmas" are false.
He said he told the "very determined lady" who put up the nativity display last year that the group is welcome to find another property owner to host the display, as long as it's not on public land. However, there are few grassy spaces downtown that aren't publicly owned, and one of them, Immaculate Conception Church, sets up its own nativity scene each year. Another church in Ravenna does a live nativity.
Seman is an active member of Grace Episcopal Church on West Cedar Avenue near downtown Ravenna. He said he previously served on the church's Vestry and at one time headed that board, a position known as "senior warden." However, he stepped down from that position because of time constraints when he became mayor.
"I'm not in this to take a stand against religion because I believe in it," he said. "But there was a reason the founding fathers wanted to keep it separate."

Sold Out
Pouring out of the minds and hearts of the mad men of Marrickville. The Poets on Payday project came together when winemaker Sam met the perfect Central Ranges Fruit and love was in the air, great booze was in mind and they had the Bucket Boys on their team to get it done.
Another solid crack from the boys at PoP, smashing together 12 Italian varietals from the vineyards in the Bathurst, a funky and fresh Pet Nat made for smiles on faces.
P.S. Super lively in bottle so open with glasses at the ready and definitely over the sink not the white tablecloth....take it from me.

MICHAEL VAN GERWEN claimed World Grand Prix glory for the third time after a fabulous 5-2 victory against Gary Anderson in Dublin on Saturday night.
World number one van Gerwen came out on top in a thrilling clash between the top two ranked players in the PDC.
The Dutchman carried his incredible form into the final, producing a sensational early surge, which World Champion Anderson was unable to recover from.
"It's an amazing win and I'm so happy I've won this tournament again," said the 27-year-old, whose 100.29 average is the highest ever in a World Grand Prix final.
"Everything has been great for me in this tournament and I also played fantastic darts.
"After three or four sets I was averaging about 108 and I think if you play like that you deserve to win this trophy. I put him under pressure from the beginning and that worked.
"He pushed me until the end and I had to fight really hard. Gary never gives up but I played fantastic tonight.
"A lot of people have played well against me this week but my confidence is sky high. I had a tournament average of 100 and not many people do that in this format."
van Gerwen raced into a three-set lead, taking nine of the first eleven legs to stamp his authority on the showdown.
And there proved to be no way back for Anderson despite the tenacious Scotsman winning sets four and six in straight legs.
van Gerwen finished the job in seven sets, adding the gloss to a fantastic performance by completing the triumph with a 160 checkout.

Colour-blocked swimwear takes on a luxe new nautical look at the hands of Megan Balch and Jaime Barker, a New York design duo who met in high school and hung out in the South Florida surf. Searching for swimwear that could handle the thundering waves and whistling wind of Atlantic beaches, Balch and Barker came up dry. Solution: In 2013 they launched Flagpole Swim — a sleek line of colour-blocked swimwear able to stay put in the pound of the surf. What's fun is the designing duo's nod to nautical flags — those snappy, wind-blown bits of fabric in bright blocks of blue, red, yellow, and orange — not to mention the swimwear's filmscreen-siren names, example: The Kelly… as in Grace Kelly. Best part: Flagpole Swim's sleek Navy-friendly silouettes are able to carry you from beach to evening in one smooth stroke.

5 years…
Posted May 29, 2013on:
This past weekend marked Hubby and my 5 year anniversary.
In April, we celebrated the 5 year anniversary of our 1st date, but in May was when we became an official couple.
Five years has flown by so fast. Ever since we started dating, it seems like our lives just moved in warp speed. Within 5 years, we started dating.. got married.. had a kid.. wow!
I know I say this every anniversary.. but I still can't believe the turn of events that have occurred since we started dating. It's been blessings all the time!
We've had lots of ups.. some downs.. and surprisingly, rarely any tears (knock on wood!). It's been an adventure that I hope continues to be as fun and loving as it is..
We didn't do much for our anniversary.. honestly, we both kind of forgot about it (it was on Friday.) and just went along with our regular day-to-day… we only realized what the date was that night.. by then it was really too late to do anything..
We did get to spend a wonderful weekend together as a little family (recap here) and made some wonderful memories.
Here's to another five years.. and another five years.. and another.. and another.. and another after that!
I love you, Hubby!!

From the mind of Erik Bredesen, Sales Advisor at High Monkey:
This post is about Comcast's new X1 platform box and its brand new user interface. (Although I am confident we could fill this blog for years with stupid usability posts about Comcast cable and internet.) I will admit, however, that Comcast definitely stepped up to the plate with the new interface on the X1 cable box. It is much more visually appealing, easier functionality, and a lot more entertainment options. So yes, they got it right…for the most part.
I know better than to be satisfied with anything Comcast has to offer, because it is only matter of time before something stops working or they do something stupid to ruin your viewing experience. In this case, I was searching for movies one afternoon, and I wanted to look up a certain movie that I hadn't seen in a while. I went to the "On Demand" portion where the hundreds if not thousands of movies are located. I was shocked to see that there was no option to search alphabetically. You could search by Genre, new releases, and a few other categories that don't give any indication of what movies would even be listed under them.
Long story short, I didn't have 4 hours to sift through movie titles in random locations on the sliver of hope I had of even finding the one I was looking for, so I gave up and went rollerblading instead.
In conclusion, I realize that this stupid usability blunder by Comcast forced me to venture outdoors to get some exercise. But let's be honest here, after a long day of work who wouldn't rather be a vegetable on the couch for a couple hours watching a great movie. Thanks a lot Comcast! When I fall and knock my teeth out rollerblading your customer service is definitely going to hear about it!

I have ran through before on how to create a site-to-site VPN with Cisco SDM which sounds like a repeat but I thought why not bring CCP into light and since I'm studying the newly created CCNA Security (640-554) I figured let's create a tutorial on it. In this lab I am going to post the running-config of both locations so you can either run it through Packet Tracer or live equipment if you wish. I am running two Cisco 2811s with Advanced Security Version 12.4(24)T8. Let's do it! Continue reading "Site-To-Site VPN via CCP"

Introduction into Cisco Configuration Professional
Let's walk through the basics with Cisco Configuration Professional as it is a helpful tool to use at the associate levels of the Cisco certification track and needed if you are looking at getting the CCNA Security certification. In this introduction we will introduce CCP and setup a community and then finally discover our devices within CCP. This is not the first GUI tool Cisco has produced to manage individual routers, an older tool called Cisco SDM also helped Network Administrators which supports the ISR Generation 1 routers. In this blog a while back I talked about Cisco SDM and walked through some tutorials on using it. Although it's reaching age with Cisco support it is still officially supported until February 28th 2014. The good news with CCP is it supports these older ISR Generation 1 routers as well as the new ISR Generation 2 routers, were Cisco SDM only support ISR G1 routers.

Network Troubleshooting
The thing that makes networks awesome is the fact that once you setup a network you're not done. That may sound like a drawback but it is excellent job security! Engineers or administrators must watch the performance of an organization's network to make sure that productivity is not affected. Network outages can have a huge effect on an organization, lost revenue and the cost of unproductive employees can severely damage the organization, Earlier this year I also talked about the troubleshooting process which goes hand in hand with network troubleshooting. Continue reading "Network Troubleshooting"
The "Ending" of Layer Two Redundancy
Although layer two redundancy should never end, this is the final chapter of understanding layer two redundancy in the network. Last week I talked about how and why STP (IEEE 802.1D) is important in the network and the problems and causes of not having it which can turn your network against you and everybody on it. Today's post will talk about how a switch decides which one is in charge on the network and which ones aren't Continue reading "The "Ending" of Layer Two Redundancy"
Link-State Protocols
Weeks ago and maybe months :), I talked about distance vector protocols and with that you probably got the feeling that when using a distance vector protocol it does not give a full network graphical representation of the entire network. Only the directly connected routes can't remember? Check out this post Distance Vector Routing. Link state protocols are faster to converge network changes compared to distance vector however when compared to distance vector setup they can be harder to set up, maintain, and troubleshoot when problems arise.

Take the time to vote in primary elections
With May 29 now set for the 2012 primary elections, I am urging Texans to register and vote in this important election year.
While the ongoing redistricting litigation has created some confusion among voters and candidates, let me take this opportunity to provide clarity to the process and reassure citizens that the State of Texas is fully prepared to assist in the administration of the party primaries. I want to ensure all eligible Texans can vote.
While the Secretary of State's Office does not directly administer party primary elections — that duty falls to the county party chairs in their respective counties across Texas — this office works very closely with party officials and local elections officials to prepare for, and execute fair, accessible and secure elections.
As elections officials across the state work diligently preparing for the May 29 primaries, there is much voters can, and should be doing to prepare as well. Voters can find answers to most of their questions at www.VoteTexas.gov. This website is maintained by the Secretary of State's Office and is available 24 hours a day as the state's official, one-stop hub for voter information.
Registering to vote is the first and most important step in making sure eligible Texans can vote. The deadline to register to vote in this year's primary elections is April 30. Texans who are not yet registered will find all the information they need on how to register at www.VoteTexas.gov. Additionally, Texans unsure of whether they are registered can easily verify their registration status through www.VoteTexas.gov.
It's important to note voters, whose registration cards expired Dec. 31, are still registered and replacement voter registration cards will automatically renew and be sent to voters by their county of residence. By federal court order, the new cards will be mailed by April 25.
Voters who have moved residences or undergone a legal name change should contact their local voter registrar to update their information. When voters receive their new registration cards, they should pay close attention to their assigned voting precinct as it may have changed due to redistricting.
I also encourage all Texas voters to take full advantage of early voting. Early voting for the primary elections begins May 14 and ends May 25. Early voting provides voters the most convenience. During this period, voters can vote at any polling place in their county of residence. Also, during this period, polling places are generally less crowded, making parking easier and reducing or eliminating wait times. Voters will be able to find polling place information at www.VoteTexas.gov.
Voters who choose to vote on primary Election Day, May 29, should remember polls open statewide at 7 a.m. and close at 7 p.m. Polling places and other important information can be found at www.VoteTexas.gov.
The website will be regularly updated throughout the 2012 elections to include key dates and deadlines, as well as other information important to Texas voters.
Texans should rest assured I continue to be deeply committed to maintaining the high standards of integrity, trust and security Texans expect and deserve in their elections. As the parties conduct the primary elections, my office is working very closely with them, and with local elections officials to ensure successful elections. But no one is more important to making this process work than our voters, so I am urging all eligible Texans to vote and make their mark on Texas.
Hope Andrade is the Texas Secretary of State.
