The organisers of the Tour de France, Amaury Sport Organisation (ASO) and Activation Group have that agreed that China will host the 'Tour de France Critérium' and a Chinese version of L'Etape in November. The Tour de France has already enjoyed an Asian connection since 2013, organising the end of season Saitama Criterium in Japan but the announcement marks the first move into China.

Tony Martin in too much pain to finish the Tour de France
Tony Martin (Etixx-QuickStep) was a surprise non-finisher of the Tour de France despite starting Sunday's final stage to Paris and riding into the French capital. The German preferred to pull out of the race after reaching the Champs Elysees due to severe knee pain. He quickly headed home after the stage in the hope of understanding the cause of the problem and to begin treatment so he can compete at the Rio Olympics.
"Unfortunately I had to end the Tour early yesterday due to severe knee pain. I am really disappointed," Martin wrote on his personal website www.tony-martin.de.
"It is never good to have to abandon a race. Yesterday I absolutely wanted to start, so that I could help Marcel as much as possible in the finale. But after only 20 kilometres I knew that I couldn't do it, the pain was simply too much. The relaxed ride up to the Champs Elysees was good for me, but then I turned off directly to the bus."
"The pain started on Saturday and came from nowhere. So far we have no explanation for it. Maybe too much stress, maybe a reaction to the cooler temperatures and rain. I will use the next few days to try and figure out the cause and see that I can fully use the knee again. Meantime I am home again. I left directly after the stage. That was not because of my leaving the race, but had been planned all along with an eye to Rio and my further preparation."
Adam Hansen continues consecutive grand tour streak at Tour de France
Australian Adam Hansen has extended his consecutive grand tour record by finishing the Tour de France in Paris on Sunday. The Lotto Soudal rider broke Bernardo Ruiz's record of 13 straight three-week grand tours at last year's Vuelta a Espana and has extended that record to 15th after completing the Giro earlier this year before the Tour.
It was a perfect end to Hansen's 15th straight and 22nd career grand tour as teammate Andre Greipel won the sprint ahead of Peter Sagan for Lotto Soudal's second stage of the race.
There is no end in sight for Hansen with the 35-year-old to line up at the Vuelta a Espana on August 20 and set out to stretch his record to 16 straight grand tours before the end is out.
Etixx-QuickStep won't be Vanmarcke's team from 2017
A guest on the Vive le Vélo Televison show, Belgian Classics rider Sep Vanmarcke ruled out Etixx-QuickStep as his new team from the 2017 season. The LottoNL-Jumbo rider is leaving the team at the end of 2016 and will announce who he will ride for after August 1.
"Where I ride next season, I can not tell. I've explored all options. Soon I will decide. With Etixx-QuickStep has there been a conversation, but nothing really concrete," Vanmarcke said after finishing the Tour. "It was an offer for one year, but I prefer a contract for a longer period. Etixx-Quick Step is not my new team."
Etixx-QuickStep announced a one-year contract extension for Tom Boonen last week who remains the team's primary classics rider.


Wow, I didn't even know that I had come close to a hundred post, but my blog yesterday put me there. I'll give myself a nice little pat on the back for that. Hopefully during this time you have been entertained, enlightened, and maybe even blessed by something you have read. This is my space, so the post can be all over the place, and I'm okay with that.
I was going to post about how I woke up with an inbox full of you "Urgent" messages, but when I got here and saw that I was at the century mark, I threw caution to the wind and went with the happy and light as opposed to the mundane and dark. I still have a mountain of laundry to do, and dinner to cook (with no idea what to prepare), but none of it feels as daunting as it did this morning.
Today I gave Mr. Thompson the cloths I knitted for the new baby, and I went to pick the older girls up from school and we went to the Book Fair. They had a good time, and so did I. Dinner is still up in the air, but I've almost got a handle on that. The laundry definitely needs to be done by 5:00 though, so I must leave you now. Have a great rest of the day, and I'll talk to you tomorrow.
I'm back!!!! So soon you say. What could the occasion be? Well thanks to Kristin aka Homegrownrose on Ravelry we've been challenged to blog everyday through the end of March. How's that for a kick in the pants, uh... I mean motivation. So to kick things off, let's start with a little transparency.
I'm in the process of "trying" to lose some weight, well more exactly some inches. My weight is fairly normal, but the fat in places it didn't use to be is starting to bother me. So I decided that I wanted to fit into the bikini that I bought two years ago, and have never worn. Well that's all well and good, except I have a slight eating problem. That being said, I eat whatever is around, literally. Take today for example. My Mocha Moms group had a meeting and I do the snacks, and fortunately they were healthy, because we had Sarah from the Diabetes Association of Atlanta, Inc. speaking to us about nothing other than....that's right diabetes and healthy eating.
Well, we had lovely croissant sandwiches with Rotisserie style thinly sliced chicken breast, with lots of fresh veggies, and baked veggie chips, and a vegan Red Velvet cake from Meri's. So you say what's the bad in that. Well I had two sandwiches. One while the ladies were here, and then another when the girls got home from school, about 2 hours later. Then I had a small (and that is the truth) slice of cake. But for dinner. ARGH!!! I had a bowl of oatmeal, a bowl of ramen noodles, and two orange rolls. Not what I had planned, that would be the nice, lovely, healthy portion chicken fajita, with black beans and corn. Sad thing is I almost ate that too.
Where does this out of control, neurotic eating behavior stem from you ask. Well I hate having leftovers and the fridge is full of them. Nor can I stand to throw food away, it seems to wasteful and I just wasn't raised to throw out good food. Too many of those "poor children in Africa, who would appreciate this food" speeches in my youth I suppose. Sometimes I eat, emotionally, as like a crutch, a support when I'm down, food is a pick me up. <-That is so not a good attitude toward food.
Enough confession, I am exhausted. Don't worry though, I won't go and raid the kitchen, I've got my glass of water and if anything I'll have some trail mix later. We'll catch up more tomorrow.
Sometimes, I forget. (That is a widely known fact to friends and family.) And well, I was thinking the site is so lacking pictures, well that's because I forgot that I could upload pictures straight from my phone with relatively little hassle. Although I must say I don't like the camera on this new phone as much as my last which is weird, because they are both made by the same company; however I digress. Here are a few pictures of FO's that you probably haven't seen.
Very Simple Dishcloths for Little Buddy's Dance teacher. Sorry Heather and Elica, I'm still not that quick to undertake the projects you suggested. But I think I am getting faster.
A Cabled baby hat for a community service project our Girl Scouts did over the holidays. How could I not post this. I put it on Ravelry, but not here...strange.
And a washcloth I made for Bear as a stocking stuffer. I got the pattern from 200 Knitted Blocks.
Okay, so I'm supposed to be practicing project monogamy, but it is not working. Things keep coming up. Being completely honest, I'm still working on some things that were supposed to be gifts for Christmas, but obviously that didn't work out. I'm trying to finish them up so they can be gifted at later times over the course of this year. However, at every turn, there's a new something that needs to be made, since in my efforts to be considerate and thrifty, I have decided to make all (well most) gifts this year.
I just found out my mailman's wife had a baby the latter part of last year, (which explained his absence). Now Michael tells me that Little Buddy's dance teacher is having a bridal shower next weekend, and all the students are invited- well we can't just go empty-handed (I would never teach my children to go to any occasion without a hostess gift of some sort). Call me old-fashioned, but showing up to someones door without even ______ (something appropriate for the event at hand) is just rude.
So now I'm trying to work on things that are quick and meaningful, and that can be made using the yarn in my stash. But the mailman's wife had a boy, and I have lots of pinks and purples because I have 3 daughters. The dance teacher may get a pair of um..., legwarmers? Is that too cliche'? I wanted to do some nice dishcloths but I haven't found a pattern that wouldn't take me forever to make multiples of .
What can I do about all these pop-ups? I'll not be able to be monogamous if all these different obstructions keep getting in the way. Oh and did I mention that I know at least 4 ladies that are expecting over the course of the year. Two of them relatively soon, and within weeks of each other. Aaaggggggghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! Help please.

Mary Shelley was just 18 when she had a nightmare vision: "I saw the pale student of unhallowed arts kneeling beside the thing he had put together. I saw the hideous phantasm of a man stretched out, and then, on the working of some powerful engine, show signs of life.�
Despite her lack of writing experience, Shelley converted her dream into what is often referred to as the world's first horror novel, a timeless tale of science gone bad. Frankenstein follows the story of Swiss scientist Victor Frankenstein, who manages to animate a hulking creature referred to as a "monster,� "wretch,� or "fiend.� Shelley's 1818 classic has become one of the most frequently taught works of fiction, a cultural touchstone for conversations about the dark side of innovation. (Made-up words like Frankenscience andFrankenfood have become shorthand for the products of technological tampering.) More than 200 years after it was published, this novel remains a thought-provoking read that explores timely themes like creators' responsibilities for the unintended consequences of their inventions.

Der Einzige is the title of a German egoist anarchist magazine, which appeared in 1919, as a weekly, then sporadically until 1925. It was edited by Anselm Ruest (anagramic pseud. for Ernst Samuel), and co-edited, in the first year, by Mynona (pseud. for Salomo Friedlaender), who was his uncle. Its title was adopted from the book Der Einzige und sein Eigentum (engl. trans. The Ego and Its Own) by Max Stirner. Another influence was the thought of German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. The publication was connected to the local expressionist artistic current and the transition from it towards dada.

Its contributors included Iwan Bloch, Stefan George, Raoul Hausmann, Paul Scheerbart and others.

I realise that since David Attenborough's Blue Planet 2 broadcast that plastic reduction has become a hot topic. Admittedly, I did not watch this episode else I explode in a fiery ball of guilt (and greenhouse gasses). Numerous friends on social media have posted (not preached!) about the lifestyle changes they've made to help the cause, and because I am acutely aware that it is a problem, I am going to try and be more sustainable with my purchasing and living in general. Things that are easily achievable at first, perhaps, and that won't make me want to quit if they are too difficult to implement starting with cosmetics. I'll work my way up to the trickier things and hopefully convince hubby to participate. In the meantime any tips/tricks are welcome!
So I guess maybe I need to add this to my list of objectives for the year as from the last post. I am now lifting three times a week but think coaching will need to happen at some point to get my technique on point. Right now I am just doing what I can within safer limits and do check my form in the mirror BUT could probably do with some pointers.
On a note related to personal health, I tried a Thriva test kit recently which showed that this pale ginger with an office job and a suncream collection had low Vitamin D! Since then I have been to Majorca and spent a lot of the recent heatwave walking about outside as well as taking supplements. I've had problems with weak and splitting nails for most of my life and they are always vastly improved when I supplement (as I did in pregnancy). As well as that, I've been eating a bit less crap and exercising a bit more so will be interested to see if it's improved anything else on the test. Though still often fatigued, it has lessened and I am fitting into more and more of my pre-pregnancy clothes so all in all it's been a very positive experience.

TeamGantt is a simple and elegant web-based project management solution. It focuses on project scheduling and is a good choice for small teams. Let's take a look at why OpenProject is the best TeamGantt alternative.
OpenProject and TeamGantt both offer classical project management features. However, OpenProject also allows release management through product roadmaps. Additionally, with OpenProject communication is easy: You can organize meetings directly within OpenProject and manage forums.
TeamGantt has however some significant downsides: It does not support important features such as meeting organization and time management. Additionally, the application is only available as a cloud solution and does not offer a self-hosted version for on-premise deployments. This can be a deal breaker for corporations with high security standards. OpenProject provides self-hosting through the Enterprise Edition.

We help people cut their taxes by as much as 50%, avoid taxes on Social Security income, avoid estate taxes, protect estate values, and put a safety net under their retirement savings while participating in market gains.
Because we are comprised of independent brokers and advisors we can virtually represent any company or type of investment. The fact that we are not captive allows us to have more companies and investment options to pull from. More companies and investment options allow us to make non-biased recommendations that fit our client's needs more appropriately. Unfortunately so many of the seniors that come to us have the mindset that they only have three investment options: stocks, mutual funds and CDs. We are happy to educate people on the rule of 100 and the fact that there are 22 asset classes for us to choose from. It is rewarding to genuinely help people and share investment options that have a much lower risk exposure for them. We have no minimum or maximum wealth requirements and have enjoyed planning with people from all walks of life.
Retirees today face many challenges. From health care issues to the decreasing value of a dollar, seniors' concerns about the security of their financial well-being is growing. According to the National Council on Aging (NCOA), 54% of seniors still working, do so because they are afraid of not having enough money to sustain the years to come. Rising costs of prescription drugs, social security taxation, uncertain market economy, relatively low interest rates, inflation climbing and the possibility of needing long-term health care have all been major factors in today's retirement landscape. By utilizing tax-deferred, tax-advantaged strategies, retirement concerns can be lessened dramatically.
The right program can help retirees and pre-retirees put their financial concerns to rest. In this uncertain financial arena, how can you sustain growth and protect your accumulation simultaneously? Simple: You seize every opportunity available to protect and grow your assets. At Lighthouse Financial, we can help you.

The below post is an excerpt from Continuity and Change: The Conservative Party since 1945, the book published by our editor Jake Scott. You can buy a copy here.
The social order of British conservatism is composed of three concepts: State; civil society; and individual. For analysts of ideology the first two concepts seem obvious, yet there has been disagreement over the location of 'individual' in the morphology. Freeden argues, for conservatism, "individualism is an adjacent concept, extracted as a reaction both to the perceived failure of welfare-state collectivism and the difficulties of Keynesian-dominated aggregative economic theory as a guide to prosperity", suggesting it is ballast for the social order upon which conservatives rely (1998: 388). Disagreement comes from Green who, in his discussion of Thatcherism, states that comments made regarding individualism "were not made by a politician who saw individualism as an 'adjacent concept'. Rather they imply a philosophy that emphasised a polity that was an aggregate of individual citizens, and in which individual rights and duties were the fulcrum of social and political life" (2010: 48).
Where the difference arises is the term the two are analysing; Freeden is correct in arguing that "individualism" as a concept does not belong in the core, though his placement of it in the adjacency permanently is debatable. Similarly, Green is correct in saying that Thatcher saw the individual as central in conservatism, yet is wrong to term it as "individualism" because, for conservatism, individualism is a belief in "individuals as potentially complete in themselves", while "the conservative view begins from a conflicting premise, which is that the abstract ideal of autonomy… is radically incomplete" (Scruton, 2002: 65). Furthermore, as Quinton argued above, individuals are not complete beings outside of a social order. Instead, the more accurate term for the concept is 'individual', but as a sub-concept of social order as part of a relationship with civil society and the State.
But what is this relationship? To say that social order is composed of State, civil society and individuals may be correct, but it does not describe their relationship nor why it is these three specifically that compose the social order.
First, Scruton shows the social order is "held together by the civil bond which generates and supports institutions of government" and argues that civil society and State "are not two entities… but rather one entity seen under separate aspects" (2002: 17, 40). Moreover, though State and civil society are analysed separately, they "permeate each other; in their sundering lies the death of both" (Ibid: 60). However, this ontological distinction between State and society allows conservatives to object to attempts to change society that originate only from the State for two reasons. First, it adheres to the rejected rationalist, top-down approach to social order that Oakeshott argued against, as well as conforming to the Change Principle identified by O'Hara. This principle argues that (O'Hara, 2011: 88):
"societies should be risk-averse with respect to social change and the burden of proof placed on the innovator, not his or her opponents. It also follows that change, when it does come, should ideally be (a) incremental, (b) reversible where possible and (c) rigorously evaluated before the next incremental step".
This summarises the conservative preference for evolutionary change. Second, in accordance with the first objection and O'Hara's Knowledge Principle – which is the recognition that knowledge is diffuse across society and must be aggregated from the majority, rather than imposed from the deductions of the elite (Ibid: 49-51) – it allows the conservative to prioritise civil society as the origin of true organic change.
It is important also to note that conservatives are not opposed to change from the State; O'Hara argues that "institutions need to be fostered and sometimes sponsored government programmes are required to facilitate the exchanges that produce demand-driven change," provided the sponsored programmes are not imposed on an unwilling or opposed population (Ibid: 74). Properly understood from a conservative disposition, however, legitimate institutions of government are the products of society, arising from the need to protect the fragile organism of civil society (Scruton, 2002: 17, 45). Should these legitimate institutions advocate social change, it follows that they do so in response to already-changing social attitudes. We can deduce that change is agreeable to a conservative if the consensus of agreement in society underpins the change, and empowers the government to formalise this change in law.
By placing the State as ontologically separable, and subservient to civil society's moral attitudes, State-originated change not underpinned by social consensus is ipso facto "external" to the element of society conservatives are most concerned with. Consequently, the external origin of this change provides the conservative both practical, and philosophical grounds to reject it.
Having established civil society as the primary component of social order, and identified the three component parts, this dissertation will now establish adjacent concepts associated with social order that exist to define the social order's internal relationship. As mentioned above, Freeden sees the role of the swivel-mirror concept as defining the adjacent concepts of conservatism. However, this is not an exhaustive origin of the adjacent concepts; instead, the following concepts are products of the interaction between the component parts of social order. This means they arise as independent concepts with a traceable lineage to the core.

We're running a CentOS 7 based JBOD as a repo. However, I can't find indications or documentation anywhere on how to control the VeeamRepo software. chkconfig --list and systemctl don't have any hints. Essentially, I want to know how to stop/start the service (plus any other info I can find.. jobs running, streams, whatever). Am I missing a KB somewhere on all of this?
Hi, the 'service' or VeeamAgent is just being pushed on the fly when a job starts via SSH.
Why would you want to control it btw?
I thought it was holding file locks open causing me to be unable to unmount disks.... which I realized I actually had a screen session open. Derp. Though, the bigger reason is to see if there are any running jobs. I know I could see this from the GUI, but I was sort of hoping there was a way to see if there was activity on the repo so I don't have to hit several places to know if I can reboot a box without interrupting transfers.
You can always look for veeam processes via "ps aux | grep veeam".

Obama josefi (syn. Geoplana josefi) ist eine brasilianische Art der Landplanarien.

Merkmale
Obama josefi besitzt einen lanzenförmigen Körper, bei großen Individuen ist dieser sehr flach. Sie können eine Körperlänge von bis zu 130 Millimetern erreichen.

Die Farbe von O. josefi variiert abhängig vom Alter der Individuen. Die Grundfärbung junger Individuen ist gelblich, ein dunkelbrauner bis schwarzer Streifen verläuft der Länge nach entlang der rückenseitigen Mittellinie des Körpers, parallel dazu laufen weitere Streifen in derselben Färbung. Die Streifen verlaufen nicht bis zum vorderen Ende, das eine orange Färbung aufweist.

Beim Erreichen der Geschlechtsreife entwickeln die Tiere hinter dem orangen Vorderende dunkle Hautflecken, sodass Farbabstufungen zwischen gelblichen und braunen Bereichen weniger auffallen. Bei adulten Individuen ist die Anzahl der Hautflecken so groß, dass der Rücken eine einheitliche grünliche Dunkelbraunfärbung aufweist. Das vordere Ende behält seine Orangefärbung bei, wobei diese dunkler als bei Jungtieren ist.

Verbreitung
Das Habitat von O. josefi bilden feuchte Wälder im Nordosten Rio Grande do Suls und im Osten Santa Catarinas, im südlichen Brasilien.

Ernährung

Im natürlichen Habitat ernährt sich O. josefi von einheimischen Landplanarien.

In Laborexperimenten konnte nachgewiesen werden, dass O. josefi die in Brasilien invasive Landplanarie Endeavouria septemlineata, die aus der pazifischen Region stammt, fing und verzehrte.

Etymologie
Der Artname josefi ehrt den ungarischen Zoologen Josef Hauser, Gründer des Instituts zur Erforschung von Planarien an der Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos.

Bulova 98B150 men's precisionist watch features 44mm wide and 12mm thick two tone rose gold plated stainless steel case with push & pull crown. Bulova 98B150 is powered by an accurate Japanese quartz movement. This beautiful watch also features silver and white patterned dial with luminous hands & rose gold tone Arabic markers, date display, scratch resistant mineral crystal and water resistant to 30 meters. Bulova 98B150 is equipped with a 23mm wide genuine brown leather strap with buckle clasp. Bulova 98B150 men's precisionist two tone brown leather strap watch comes in an original Bulova gift box and is backed by a 2 year manufacturer warranty. About Bulova Precisionist Two of the factors that affect accuracy in a quartz watch are temperature changes and vibration frequency. Bulova Precisionist technology addresses both by adding a third prong to the quartz crystal and increasing the total vibrations to 8 times the frequency of a standard quartz watch. Precisonist is a quartz watch with a second hand that beats 16 times per second, while those on standard quartz watches beat only one time per second. As a result, the continuous motion of the Precisionist second hand is even more fluid than all mechanical watch second hands that beat only 8 to 10 times per second. With a frequency of 262.144 kilohertz, Precisionist offers the highest vibrational frequency available in any watch today. This dramatic increase in frequency diminishes the effect of temperature fluctuations and produces extraordinary precision. Most quartz watches are accurate to 15 seconds a month. Bulova Precisionist is accurate to... 10 seconds... a year.

Tampa, Florida freight rates The central Florida city of Tampa is home to the highly traveled Port Tampa Bay, the closest full service port to the Panama Canal. It handled more than 36 million tons of cargo in 2014 and is one of the world's premier fertilizer ports. With major interstate systems I-4, I-75 and I-275 running through the region, Tampa is connected to major U.S. cities like Atlanta, Cincinnati, Orlando and Detroit, as well as to the Canadian border. The region offers 500 miles of active railroad and siding tracks, which maintains a major rail yard, an intermodal terminal, a TRANSFLO terminal and an automotive distribution center in Tampa. The region isn't as affected by the tourism industry as other locations in Florida, but like other destinations in the Sunshine State, the summer citrus season can drive freight prices up. LTL shipping is usually affordable due to the volume of goods moving through the area via truck and rail.
Seattle, WA freight rates Not only can Seattle boast a Super Bowl winning football team, excellent coffee and a vibrant music scene, it is also a great air and ocean gateway for cargo from Asia to multiple points in North America. The Port of Seattle is made up of 1,543 acres of waterfront land and nearby properties including container terminals, general purpose/cargo terminals, a Foreign Trade Zone, break-bulk cargo and refrigerated cargo and storage. The Seattle-Tacoma International Airport offers cargo options from 20 U.S. and 14 foreign carriers, as well as a concentration of nearby freight forwarders, customs brokers, distribution centers and other logistics supply chain service providers. Most of the state of Washington's rail lines connect to the busy ports, allowing for local shipping rates to remain low and reasonable. LTL freight is usually affordable due to the volume of goods moving through the state. Winter weather in the mountainous regions of the state can affect price and efficiency of cargo moving on the ground to and from the city.

Meet the Head Coach - Nathan Williams
I learned to row at Shrewsbury School and went on to row for: Queens University Belfast, Belfast rowing Club and then Leander club. I started coaching at eighteen when I sustained a serious injury. I have been fortunate to coach at St Edwards School and Shrewsbury School. I have coached everything from J15 boys to the school's 1st VIII. I have also been the Head Coach for the Women at the University of London boat club and a high-performance coach for GB U23 and senior women.
Today I live at Downe House School, where my wife teaches and is an Assistant House Mistress and I am back working at St Edwards School in Oxford.
I am very much enjoying working with BNCBC. It is a privilege to work somewhere with so much history but also exciting to work for a club with a real desire and plan for future success and growth. I'd love to see both 1st VIIIs back where they belong in the first divisions but also for as many novices as possible to try and take up the sport. Rowing at Brasenose is such a fantastic way for students to get into the sport.
There is a great atmosphere, lots of history and the desire to row hard and have a lot of fun doing it. We have plenty of racing at home in Oxford but also travel further afield for a different racing experience.

Ourimbah Veterinary Hospital is AQIS accredited to examine your pet to meet the veterinary requirements when travelling overseas.
Depending on which country you are travelling to will determine which examination and vaccinations/treatments are required prior to leaving. Often this needs to be organised well in advance of the anticipated travel date.
All animals being exported must be microchipped.
You can also visit the AQIS web site for further information on exporting companion animals.


See something you've never seen before...the Jersey Cape's last wilderness frontier: miles and miles of scenic Atlantic back bays and beautiful salt marshes.
The Skimmer, a stable 40 foot catamaran, quietly stalks marshes teaming with wildlife, showing you nature's dramas: a peregrine falcon chasing a kingfisher ...newborn osprey and tern chicks ... the world's largest colony of laughing gulls. The Skimmer will pull right up next to a salt marsh so kids (and adults) can get a better look at horseshore crabs or baby gulls or other natural curiosities. The sights change with the seasons.
It's a perfect trip for families, a must for birders and nature buffs, and tons of fun for everyone. Board at the Dolphin Cove Marina across from the Two Mile Beach section of the Cape May National Wildlife Refuge on Ocean Drive.
Trips leave daily at 10AM and 1:30PM in season. Also, summer evening trips at 6PM. FYI: It's a good idea to make reservations in advance.

Rob Heron & The Tea Pad Orchestra Interview with Video
We saw Rob Heron & The Tea Pad Orchestra perform at The British Country Music Festival at the Winter Gardens Blackpool earlier this month so we emailed them an interview. Here is what they had to say.....
Q - How long have you been writing and performing together?
I've been writing songs since the age of about 14, so this project started 16 years ago! I met Tom (mandolin, harmonica) and Colin (keys, accordion) about 12 years ago and started the Tea Pad Orchestra about 8 years ago!
Q - Where did the name of the band come from?
When I first started liking early country and jazz, my friend owned a record shop and I went in and asked if he had some ragtime records and he sold me a 1970s compilation of 30s jazz music called Tea Pad Songs. Tea Pad is a slang word from Harlem meaning a place where marijuana is smoked. We do not smoke marijuana. We do not take our trips on LSD.
Q - If you could invite the people who have influenced you in your music career to a dinner party, who would you invite?
On the premise that they wouldn't turn down the offer of coming to the dinner party of a nobody, I would invite Tom Waits, Cab Calloway, George Jones, Elvis Presley, Hank Williams, Etta James and Sugar Pie Desanto.
Q - If you were to take one well known song and put your own country twist on it, which song would you choose?
John Farnham - You're The Voice. I'd keep the bagpipes in though.
Q - If you had the chance of performing anywhere in the world, Where would your dream venue be?
Of course I'm sure everyone says The Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, or Red Rock Amphitheatre in Colorado, or if we can travel in time, CBGBs or The Cotton Club, in NYC.
Q - What is your favourite thing to do when you are not performing?
Buying, listening and talking about rare R&B and soul records. Clothes shopping. Going to bars in the ouseburn valley in Newcastle and seeing my friends.
Q - What excites you about the British country scene?
Daniel Meade from Glasgow, The Most Ugly Child from Nottingham. That's about it really. They're the only people I've heard doing their own great songs, with a true sense of what country music should be. I'm Afraid I'm not much of a fan of this modern stuff.
Q - Tell us the most unusual gig you've played, be it the venue or the situation you found yourselves in.
We played two nights running at a jazz theatre in Bangalore, India. Flew there and back for the two nights. Was a life experience for sure.
Q - The British country music scene is growing fast. Each artist having their own take on what country music is to them. How do feel that our music stands up against the music coming out of America at the moment?
I think they should all listen to more George Jones.
Q - Where do you see British country music in 5 years time?
Hopefully sounding more like traditional country music, but I doubt that.
Q - What do you feel is the greatest achievement of your musical career to date?
Lasting this long.
Q - Where can we find you on social media?

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound detects perfusion defects in an ex vivo porcine liver model: a useful tool for the study of hepatic reperfusion Alzaraa A, Al-Leswas D, Chung WY, et al. Journal of Artificial Organs.2013;16(4):475-482.
http://dx. Paper presented at: .
Background:Prior to reperfusion, a variable period of ischaemia occurs in transplanted donor organs There is growing evidence that apoptosis contributes to the ischaemia-reperfusion injury conundrum that follows, but its extent has not been precisely quantified. Understanding its extent and effects can help find ways to mitigate or counteract such an injury in the liver. We therefore evaluated the extent of apoptosis semi-quantitatively from the expression of Caspase-3 and M30 in a porcine ex-vivo hepatic ischaemia-reperfusion injury model and correlated the timing of expression of M30 antibody with that of Caspase-3.
Method:Livers were harvested from three healthy white Landrace Cross pigs and perfused for six hours using oxygenated extracorporeal circuits with heparinized autologous blood at 380C as described in our previous work . A 2-hour delay prior to perfusion represented the period of ischaemia. All the livers were uniformly perfused. Three biopsies were taken for each of 7 time points (total 21); before dissection of the liver (BD) of the livers, after dissection (AD), after connection (AC) to the circuit, at one hour perfused (1hrP) & non-perfused (1hrNP), at 4 hours perfused (4hrP) and non-perfused (4hrNP). Samples were stained with standard Haematoxylin–Eosin (HE) and immunohistochemically with Caspase-3 and M30 monoclonal antibodies. Positive cells were quantified using an ocular grid and expressed as number per square area. Cells positive for Caspase-3 & M30 antibodies were counted on the whole section. Data were expressed as median number per square millimetre. Statistical analysis was done using AVOVA and t-test.
Results: After four hours of perfusion, multiple areas of perfusion defects appeared macroscopically in all 3 livers. HE staining confirmed that these non-perfused areas were ischaemic. There was a gradual increase in Caspase-3 expression over time in all samples. There was no statistically significant difference in the Capase-3 and M30 between the 9 specimens at 1hrP (P=0.06) but there was a highly significant difference between Caspase-3 and M30 at 1hrNP (0.001). Caspase-3 expression peaked at 4hrP (P=0.001) and 4hrNP (P=0.03). A similar pattern was noted with M30 which peaked at 1hrP (P=0.001) and maintained a non-significant expression at 4hrP (P=0.07) and 4hNP (P=0.1).
Conclusion: The significant expression of Caspase-3 and M30 confirms that apoptosis plays an important part in tissue loss in this model of liver ischemia-reperfusion injury. Inhibiting both Caspase-3 and M30 might be useful in alleviating hepatic reperfusion injury.?
IRI is a relatively common pathological process that follows a range of conditions of the liver including trauma, resection, transplantation, infections and shock states . IRI occurs when organ ischaemia results in tissue Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) depletion which leads to the activation of anaerobic metabolic pathways . These do not maintain cellular function for prolonged periods, and that ultimately leads to cell death. Restoration of blood flow is necessary to recover cellular function. Paradoxically however, reperfusion can initiate cascades that cause further cellular damage . Necrosis is the major mode of cell death in IRI, but its occurrence in many other situations such as liver transplantation, haemorrhagic trauma, tumour resection, and many others suggests that other mechanisms of cell death are involved. Recent studies have concluded that apoptosis is another mechanism of cell death in warm and cold hepatic IRI . Dramatic progress has been made over the last two decades in elucidating the intracellular signaling mechanisms of apoptosis . In most cells, a pro-apoptotic mediator binds to its receptor which causes receptor oligomerization and the association of various adapters . However, in hepatocytes, the receptor signal needs to be amplified through the mitochondria  which activates Caspases and initiates apoptotic nuclear changes . The apoptosis pathway is activated by the Caspases which are synthesized as inactive precursors and activated by specific cleavage at defined aspartate residues .
Herein, we explored the expression of Caspase-3 antibody in IRI to assess the role of apoptosis in IRI. We also used the monoclonal M30 antibody that recognizes a Caspase-generated Cytokeratin-18 neoantigen, and studied its correlation with Caspase-3 in a time-dependent manner.
Three white Landrace Cross pigs weighing 45kg, 50kg and 60kg were humanely sacrificed in accordance with Home Office regulations and autologous blood was collected into a container with 5,000 units of heparin. The livers were retrieved according to the technique previously described [9-11], and 2L of cold Soltran solution (Baxter Healthcare, Thetford, UK) at room temperature were perfused, 1L into the Portal Vein (PV) and 1L into the Hepatic Artery (HA). After the cold perfusion, the livers were transported on ice to the laboratory.
Using autologous blood, the liver perfusion was maintained via the extracorporeal circuit similar to that used for cardiopulmonary extracorporeal bypass surgery (Medtronic Inc., Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA) . It consists of an automatic centrifugal pump which provided the hepatic arterial flow and pressure, an oxygenator, a heat exchanger unit and a blood reservoir to simulate the venous flow and pressure.
Autologous heparinized blood was used to prime the circuit during the backbench preparation. Cannulation of the Portal Vein (PV), Hepatic Artery (HA), bile duct, supra- and infra-hepatic Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) was carried out during the priming. Before connecting the liver to the circuit, 1liter of 0.9 % normal saline solution (Baxter Healthcare, Thetford, UK) was perfused through the PV and HA to flush out the Soltran solution and remove air from the organ and the cannulae.
The venous blood was collected from the supra and infra-hepatic IVC and returned to the centrifugal pump. Parenteral nutrition, vasodilating prostacyclins, sodium bicarbonate, sodium taurocholate a single dose of Augment in (1.2g) and insulin were added to the circulation to optimize the physiological condition of the system with dosages and rates of infusions similar to previous protocols . Perfusion was carried out for 6h and haemodynamic parameters (HA and PV pressures and flows) were recorded hourly.
Histological examination: Three biopsies were chosen for each time point (total 21); Before Dissection (BD) of the livers, After Dissection (AD), After Connection (AC) to the circuit, at one hour perfused (1hr P) & non-perfused (1hr NP), at 4 hours perfused (4hr P) and non-perfused (4hr NP) & analyzed with standard Haematoxylin–Eosin staining. Histological assessment of the extent of liver injury was performed using the Suzuki classification  which grades injury from 0-4 as illustrated in table 1. Immunohistochemical staining was performed on the biopsies with Caspase-3 and M30 monoclonal antibodies.
Table 1: Suzuki classification for the histological assessment of the extent of liver injury .
Antigen retrieval: In order to retrieve the antigens, the specimens were cut onto Vectabond slides, left to dry at 37°C overnight and heated for 10 minutes at 65°C. They were then deparaffinised using xylene, rehydrated using graded alcohols (99% then 95% Industrial Methylated Spirits "IMS") and then rinsed with tap water for five minutes. The slides were placed on a slide rack in a plastic dish, which was then topped up with 10mM Sodium Citrate (pH 6.0). The dish was micro waved at 80% power for 20 minutes and left to cool in the buffer at room temperature.
Immunohistochemistry assays: Immunohistochemistry for apoptosis was performed using Cleaved Caspase-3 "Asp 175", (New England Biolabs) as the primary antibodies: and M30 (CytoDeath. Bioaxxess) utilizing NovoLink Polymer Detection System (Leica Microsystems. RE7140-CE). The slides were washed with a buffering Blocking Solution - (TBS/3%BSA/0.1% Triton-X-100) which acted as the primary antibody diluents. The endogenous peroxidase was neutralized by using Peroxidase Block for 5 minutes. The slides were washed in alternate cycles using TBS for 2 × 5 minutes. After each washing cycle, the following was done in this order: the slides were incubated with Protein Block for 5 minutes, incubated with optimally diluted primary antibody, second incubation with Post Primary Block for 30 minutes, third incubation with NovoLink Polymer for 30 minutes and finally developed peroxidase activity with DAB working solution for 5 minutes. The slides were then washed in tap water for another 5 minutes and counterstained using Mayer's Haematoxylin for 30 seconds. A final wash with tap water for 5 minutes before dehydration with air and mounted in DPX. The identification of apoptotic cells was confirmed when there was evidence of Caspase-3 and M30 positivity.
Quantitative apoptotic index: The apoptotic index was expressed as the ratio of the number of hepatic cells with Caspase-3 and M30 positivity out of the total number of nucleated cells in each field (magnification, ×40) calculated after counting 5 random microscopic fields for each time point with a 19 mm Whipple grid graticulelens (Pyser-SGI LTD). In each field, 100 squares were evaluated for the presence of apoptotic cells. Activated Caspase-3 hepatocytes positive for DNA fragmentation (Figure 1) and for cytoplasmic activity for M30 (Figure 2) were counted on the whole sections. The mean counts were expressed as a percentage of the total number of non-apoptotic cells counted in each field.
Figure 1: An example of Caspase-3 expression "White arrows" (×50).
Figure 2: An example of M30 expression in hepatocytes ranging from weak (A), intermediate (B) to strong (C) reactions (original magnification ×50).
Caspase-3 expression: Caspase-3 maintained the same expression BD & AD, dipped AC then gradually increased after perfusion in the Perfused and non-perfused areas (Figure 2).
M30 expression: There was not much evidence of M30 BD. It slightly increased AD, dipped AC, but peaked at 1hr P. Its expression was less in the 1hr NP and at 4hr P and 4hr NP (Figure 3).
Figure 3: A comparison between the expression of Caspase-3 (upper panel) & M30 (lower panel) "white arrows" at each point in time (BD = Before Dissection, AD = After Dissection, AC = After Connection, 1hr P = 1 hour Perfused, 1hr NP = 1 hour Non-Perfused, 4hr P = 4hour Perfused, 4hr NP = 4hour Non-Perfused) (Original magnification ×50).
Median values of the different groups were compared by ANOVA and linear correlation tests (Table 2).
Table 2: Data from the three experiments showing the Mean and Standard Deviation (SD) of the proportions of positive cells that stained positive for Caspase-3 and M30 at different time points (BD = Before Dissection, AD = After Dissection, AC = After Connection, 1hrP = 1 hour Perfused, 1hrNP = 1 hour Non-Perfused, 4hrP = 4 hour Perfused, 4hrNP = 4 hour Non-Perfused).
Caspase-3 expression: There was a gradual increase in Caspase-3 expression in all samples. The difference was non-significant at 1hr P (p = 0.06) and a highly significant at 1hr NP (p = 0.001), then it peaked at 4hr P (p = 0.001) and 4hr NP (p = 0.03) (Figure 4).
Figure 4: Expression of Caspase-3 & M30 in the liver biopsies at each time point (BD = Before Dissection, AD = After Dissection, AC = After Connection, 1hr P = 1 hour Perfused, 1hr NP = 1 hour Non-Perfused, 4hr P = 4 hour Perfused, 4hr NP = 4 hour Non-Perfused).
M30 expression: A similar pattern to Caspase-3 expression was noted with M30 which peaked at 1hr P (p = 0.001) and maintained a non-significant expression at 4hr P (p = 0.07) and 4hr NP (p = 0.1). The overall difference among the groups along the time scale was significant (p = 0.01) (Figure 4).
Its dual blood supply makes the liver uniquely suitable for IRI modeling. The complex conundrum of IRI in the liver appears to involve cellular mediators, reactive oxygen species, the compliment system, cytokines and other secreted factors. It has been postulated that much of the damage in IRI was due to necrosis . However there is growing evidence that apoptosis also contributes to the damage since blocking necrosis does not completely stop the damage from IRI .
None of the proxy methods currently used to infer apoptosis or its extent is considered to be valid. For example, serum parameters such as ALT, AST and LDH do not reflect the scale of IRI tissue injury as they have to be monitored before and after perfusion . Although HE staining demonstrates Councilman Bodies which are the end result of apoptosis, it does not reflect the number of events in this mode of cell death . The terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase–mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate nick-end labeling (TUNEL) assay is no different from the first two methods. It is not reliable as it has been shown to be non-specific. It requires highly standardized procedures and it does not differentiate between apoptotic and necrotic cells [16, 17].
The exploration of different modes of cell death can help open new venues for therapeutic targeting of IRI. Jaeschke, et al.  propose the theory of necroapoptosis in which common pathways lead to both necrosis and apoptosis. This is due to the mitochondrial permeability transition, whereby ATP depletion leads to cell membrane failure and necrosis while partial ATP preservation allows the mitochondria to release Caspases which lead to apoptosis. Therefore in this theory, necrosis and apoptosis could be thought of as leading to the ends of a spectrum depending on the ATP depletion. Accordingly if the start of this common pathway could be found then both necrosis and apoptosis could be reduced during liver IRI.
In this study, we have demonstrated the correlation between Caspase-3 and M30 antibodies in IRI- associated apoptosis, showing a statistically significant gradual increase in Caspase-3 expression, However M30 showed a statistical significant increase after the first hour. Those results show that apoptosis as well as necrosis had a significant role to play in liver IRI. Therefore to stop the injury from IRI then one would need to stop both the pathways of necrosis and apoptosis.
Ex-vivo models like this one are limited by a 6-hour run time in contrast to in-vivo models such as that of Sun, et al.  and Tsung, et al.  who could extend their experiment to measure late effects for up to 24hrs after reperfusion . Secondly, the accuracy of the apoptotic index depends on the identification of apoptotic cells which can be magnification dependent, as Shining, et al.  point out. To reduce such counting errors we used the recommended high-power (×40) lens. Finally, because the duration of morphologically detectable stage of apoptosis may vary, apoptotic index does not always correlate well with an actual "death index" .
In this model, apoptosis s measured by Caspase-3 and M30 expressions plays a significant role in liver IRI.. However, further research is needed to validate this both ex-vivo and in-vivo to confirm our findings and thus pave the way for work to find a suitable apoptosis-based therapeutic target. This could have wide ranging implications and application in liver trauma, sepsis, resection and transplantation.

I need a city fix!
I like the purple lights on one and two Liberty Place.
I love how the river looks in that last photo. I want to go into town to capture the lights on boat house row. Def on my "to do" list for the coming year. Merry Christmas Becky!
My husband is on overseas assignment, he told me he bought me a present. I wish for a camera like yours, to take all the night scenes.
But I know I won't get that. He had mentioned, what do you need such a good camera for? I wanted to say, I want to take photos like my blogging friends.
Just like my city, too many highrise buildings and bright lights!
What a beautiful city by night! It all looks so shining and clean and magical. But I suspect some of that is your magical touch.
Wow, wow, wow! Who doesn't like lights?

*Please note that we are occasionally closed on Saturdays.
Wednesday 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Saturday* 8 a.m. to 9:30 a.m.
Recently Aurora in Sheboygan implemented a new plan at Sheboygan Memorial Medical Center where as the physicians no longer are able to see patients who are admitted there. They have a staff physician, (called a hospitalist), who will handle in patient care.
Dr. Arenberg does not see patients at either hospital. The hospitalist on call takes care of patients that are admitted.
Dr. Schroeder only see's patients at St. Nicholas Hospital. The hospitalist on call at Sheboygan Memorial Medical Center attends to patients that are admitted.
If you are in need of our services outside of office hours you should call the office for instructions on how to contact Dr. Arenberg or Dr. Schroeder. If the physicians are not available the message will indicate a number to call to reach the on-call physician. You may reach Dr. Arenberg or Dr. Schroeder at their home number, they appreciate that this has been respected and used appropriately in the past. They will not respond to medical messages that are left on their home answering machine.
Schedule appointments as far in advance as possible. In order to provide the care you need, please provide as much information regarding the nature of your visit at the time of scheduling. This information will have an impact on the amount of time your visit will be scheduled for and with whom.
If you have orders from another healthcare provider to schedule an appointment within a specific timeframe, it is critical that you call to make the appointment as early as possible so that we can fill your request. If you call without much notice we may have difficulty fitting your request into our schedules as they are typically full.
All lab appointments must be scheduled.
Plymouth Family Physicians is pleased to announce that we now provide early morning lab appointments. We do request that these be scheduled by our patients that are employed and have a difficult time getting in after 8:00 a.m. These appointments are held Tuesday and Thursday morning from 7:00 until 8:00 a.m. If you need one of the early appointments, please call to schedule.
Blood pressure checks are offered for free from 8 a.m. to noon and again from 1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. daily. Please be prepared to wait at least 10 minutes after your arrival before your blood pressure is taken. You must be "at rest" for 10 minutes prior to the reading in order for the reading to be accurate. Also, a friendly reminder that our patients with appointments are serviced before walk-ins for blood pressure checks. We appreciate your patience and understanding in this regard.
Copays are required at the time of service. We accept cash, checks and credit cards. All patients should be prepared to provide our office with up-to-date insurance information at each visit.
A wellness visit is for the sole purpose of preventive care. This type of visit does not include discussion of new problems or detailed review of chronic conditions. A wellness visit may also be referred to as a yearly exam, an annual exam or annual preventive visit. Your insurance company may pay for one wellness exam per year.
Preventive visits and screening tests ordered by your physician can help you stay healthy and catch problems early.
Diagnostic tests are ordered when you have abnormal symptoms or findings. Screening tests are done only when it is a recommended test to be done in patients that have no symptoms or findings of that disease.
At Plymouth Family Physicians we try to combine the wellness visit with chronic disease management, for example high blood pressure, depression, prediabetes/diabetes, chronic kidney disease heart disease or cholesterol management. We do this to eliminate the need for you to come into the office for another visit.
When we do this, there will be two visit codes billed out. One code is for the preventive care, which most insurance companies cover. The other code is considered an acute or chronic problem management code. This type of code tells the insurance company that issues other than preventive care were addressed at your visit. This code is paid based on your insurance coverage.
To request a refill of an established or previous prescription, please contact the pharmacy that filled the original prescription. Request the pharmacy to contact Plymouth Family Physicians regarding the refill. This will be the fastest and most efficient method for you to obtain your medication. If your pharmacy is unable to make this request, call our office directly.
We will attempt to fulfill all refill requests within 24 – 48 hours. If you are not up to date on necessary labs or follow up appointments we will let you know. Please call to schedule these appointments and we'll take care of the refills as appropriate. This is for your health and safety. Your cooperation is appreciated.
If you see a staff member wearing jeans on a Wednesday or a Saturday that means they have contributed to a charity. They pay $5 for the privilege of wearing jeans. Each month the money raised goes to a different charity chosen by a staff person.


So as promised we have a few pics from our weekend excursion to Aunt Phebe and Uncle Lance's.

Our Sun is such a familiar sight in the sky that you might think stars like our Sun are common across the Universe. But the most common stars in the Universe are actually much smaller and less massive than the Sun. The Universe is filled with red dwarf stars.
Astronomers categorize a red dwarf as any star less than half the mass of the Sun, down to about 7.5% the mass of the Sun. Red dwarfs can't get less massive than 0.075 times the mass of the Sun because then they'd be too small to sustain nuclear fusion in their cores.
Red dwarfs do everything at a slower rate. Since they're a fraction of the mass of the Sun, red dwarfs generate as little as 1/10,000th the energy of the Sun. This means they consume their stores of hydrogen fuel at a fraction of the rate that a star like the Sun goes through. The largest known red dwarf has only 10% the luminosity of the Sun.
And red dwarfs have another advantage. Larger stars, like the Sun, have a core, surrounded by a radiative zone, surrounded by a convective zone. Energy can only pass from the core through the radiative zone by emission and absorption by particles in the zone. A single photon can take more than 100,000 years to make this journey. Outside the radiative zone is a star's convective zone. In this region, columns of hot plasma carry the heat from the radiative zone up to the surface of the star.
Red dwarfs have no radiative zone, which means that the convective zone comes right down to the star's core and carries away heat. It also mixes up the hydrogen fuel and carries away the helium by-product. Regular stars die when they use up just the hydrogen in their cores, while red dwarfs keep all their hydrogen mixed up and will only die when they've used up every last drop.
With such an efficient use of hydrogen, red dwarf stars with 10% the mass of the Sun are through to live 10 trillion years. Our own Sun will only last about 12 billion or so.
You might be interested to know that the closest star to Earth, Proxima Centauri, is a red dwarf star. Unfortunately, these stars are so small and dim that they can't be seen without a telescope.
We have written many articles about stars on Universe Today. Here's an article about how red dwarf stars might have tiny habitable zones. And here's an article about how they destroy their dust disks.
