Rock of the Clyde
— Dumbarton Castle —
Over the past 1,500 years the rock has served as the centre of the British kingdom of Strathclyde, a medieval frontier post, and on occasion, a royal residence.
Following the 1715 Jacobite Rising it became a garrison fortress, its impressive defences bristling with guns.
Did you know?
The rock is around 335 million years old. It was originally a plug of cooled lava blocking a volcano. The softer surrounding rocks have worn away leaving it standing prominently above the estuary.
1. Governor's House built in 1735 for John, 8th Earl of Cassilis.
2. Guard House: rebuilt in the 16th century.
3. Portcullis Arch: built late 14th century. Secured access from the south.
4. French Prison and remains of Wallace Tower: Built in 1790 and then used to hold prisoners from the Napoleonic Wars. Wallace Tower, built in the 1400's, may have served as a royal residence.
5. Battery: The Duke of Argyll's Battery was named in 1795 when it was upgraded to hold heavier guns.
6. Powder Magazine: built in 1748 to hold 150 barrels of gunpowder.
Saint Patrick of Ireland writes to King Ceretic of Strathclyde reprimanding him for raiding his Irish converts.
Vikings capture the Rock after a four-month siege.
William Wallace is captured by the keeper of Dumbarton Castle near Glasgow and sent to London.
James IV besieges the castle, then held by the rebellious Earl of Lennox.
Mary Queen of Scots stays at the castle for six months before sailing to France.
Major General Wade orders the wholesale refortification of the castles defences.
German bombs fall on Dumbarton Rock; its first attack in 300 years.

I originally had a ....... Blender that I absolutely loved, but had issues with 2 of them. So I did a lot of research and found the Dr. Tech BL-1800B should suit my needs. The cost was considerably less than the ........ but the same power level. I read a lot of reviews and watched a couple YouTube videos on this blender and most were positive. When I got the Dr. Tech BL-1800B blender in the mail, I was disappointed because it showed up used. Yes, there was a speck of what appeared to be food on the container and water marks from being washed. I think what happened was someone got it, used it, decided they didn't want it, then sent it back. I wish Overstock would have checked the blender over a little better. The packing foam inside was broken and the box wasn't even taped shut. It was in a shipping box, so it stayed somewhat secure. It did arrive undamaged. ANYWAY... with that problem resolved, let's get on with the review. It's probably going to be an unfair comparison, but I will compare it to the .......... I had. The quality of the plastic casing on the blender was a little thin. As was the plastic for the container. Both seem to be sufficient for the price. (durability??) I found two major cons with this blender. When you are making something and have it going at high speed, the top tends to wiggle up... Therefore, you have to pretty much stand there to make sure it doesn't come off and make a mess. The other con is that the metal gear that the container sits on gets SUPER hot after use. I assume that is why they included another in the box along with having a large aluminum disk on the bottom of the container that comes in contact with this gear... to help dissipate the heat. It was hot to the touch 30 minutes after I was done... and I only had it running for a few minutes! I'm worried about how long this will last with how hot this gear got, but time will tell. I did purchase the extra warranty, so I should be safe. It's not as loud as other blenders I have had and it does chop up and mix things very well. I like the way the front panel is set up better than on the ......... and the overall aesthetics of it were nice. Overall, I am pleased with this blender and would recommend it to anyone looking for a powerful blender at a reasonable price.Read More
The blender is very powerful and does state that it is commercial -- it is large and has a 3-prong plug. If you run the blender for long periods it does what other professional blenders brag about -- it heats the contents to the point of making soup (if that is what you want). Otherwise, I would suggest not running as long. My problem lies in the large size of the blending container which means that you have to make ample quantities of anything for the blender to be useful. Since it does not have a smaller alternate for only personal use blends, this is a problem for me. The blades are incredibly sharp -- one side of each blade is serrated with a total of 6 blades; 4 turned up and 2 downward. This creates a vortex when blending. If this blender lasts (only time and use will tell) then it will be a spectacular bargain as it does have the "commercial" blending power that the other two most popular blenders of this type (I think they call theirs "professional") sell for 4-5 times the price! The blade assembly is also heavy and substantial and easily dissembles for cleaning. The lid design is cumbersome but not a deal breaker.Read More
Questions & Answers
how does this compare to the vitamex 5200 blender?
Hello chasrles10094, The blender does not heat, or cool foods, however you can use it to blend hot or frozen foods. You can find demo videos of this product on Youtube. In reading what people have said about this product online I would say it is a great alternative to a Vitamex for a fraction of the cost. I hope this is helpful. Thank you for shopping with us.
Yes, both. If you blend for over a few minutes it will heat up your ingredients to soup hotness.
How to Care for Kitchen Knives
Knives are amongst the most important tools in the kitchen and will last a lifetime when well-maintained. Kitchen knife blades are typically made of high-carbon stainless steel alloys, which stay well-sharpened and are easy to maintain. However, some knives are made of pure carbon steel, which keep a sharper edge but are also prone to rust and discoloration. Regardless of what type of kitchen cutlery you prefer, care guidelines remain the same. Proper care of kitchen cutlery ensures a long life of use.
How to Select Stainless Steel Flatware
Stainless steel is the most common material for flatware. High-quality spoons, knives and forks made of stainless steel will be able to withstand regular use without bending or breaking. Although there are many different stainless steel flatware sets to choose from, some are better than others. When you focus on quality and design, you will come away with a stainless steel flatware set that will look great and last for years to come.
How to Break in a Stainless Steel Frying Pan
Stainless steel frying pans are frequently used by professional chefs and serious cooks at home. Unlike cast-iron fry pans, stainless steel fry pans do not need to be seasoned before use; and unlike nonstick fry pans, you will need to use oil to avoid food sticking to the surface of your stainless steel fry pan and even then, some food will still stick. While these facts might seem like disadvantages, they're actually the reasons why many cooks prefer to use stainless steel fry pans. High-quality stainless steel cookware may not be the best for cooking things like eggs, but for the most flavorful searing of fish, meat and vegetables, stainless steel fry pans are unrivaled. The following steps will teach you how break in your stainless steel fry pan before each use.
Power Tool Safety Fact Sheet
Whether cordless, gas-powered or electric, power tools have revolutionized home building and repair. Imagine building an entire house with hand tools like saws, hammers and screwdrivers. Speed and power sometimes come with a price, however: The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) lists several serious hazards associated with power tools, including electrocution, explosions and injuries from blades and moving parts. This list of safety facts offers tips on using power tools effectively without causing injury to yourself or others.
How to Season Stainless Steel Pans
While most cooks know that you need to season your food before it will taste good, new cooks might not know that you can also season your pots and pans. Seasoning is a process in which you prepare a pan or other cookware before you use it for the first time. When you season stainless steel pots and pans, you are filling the pores of the pan's surface with carbonized oil, which blocks the oxidation process and therefore keeps the cookware from rusting or pitting. In addition, seasoning helps to prevent food from sticking to the pan. The following steps will teach you how to season and protect your stainless steel pots and pans so they will last longer and work better.

How to Use a Belt Sander
A belt sander allows the operator to quickly sand the surface of a piece of wood with a minimum amount of physical effort. Because the belt sander is a power tool and the belt moves at such high speeds, it does not require as much pressure to strip off the top layer of the wood as it would if you were using a sheet of sandpaper. Belt sanders, like all power tools, are especially important for large home improvement projects, like building a deck or refinishing cabinets, because they can sand a lot of surface area very quickly.

How to Operate a Power Drill
Power drills are used for many different tasks, from hanging pictures in your home to heavy-duty construction projects like structural framing. The level of power classifies power drills: a drill may be used for light work, medium work or heavy-duty work. A good all-around drill will have several speeds and allow you to use an array of drill bits. Like any power tool, when operating a power drill, safety should always come first.
How to Buy a Wet Saw
A wet saw is a useful power tool for anyone who will be cutting tile. Wet saws achieve a clean cut without breaking the tile by using a diamond-encrusted blade that rotates the saw through a pan of water as it cuts. The water keeps the saw blade cool, which prevents tile breakage and helps protect the saw's motor. Some wet saws are also capable of cutting through dense metals and brick. For a single weekend project, renting a power tool such as a wet saw may be more economical than purchasing one, but if you'll be cutting tile more than a time or two, owning one of these handy power tools is worth the investment.

As flood waters raged through southern Alberta this week, so too did farm equipment sales at the Farm Progress Show in Regina.
But for those vendors and attendees from Southern Alberta, the back of their minds were full of thoughts about what waited for them at home. Many had family or friends who had been evacuated or had their own homes threatened by floodwaters.
It’s a show featuring new products and technology not seen anywhere else, a show of eye-popping machinery, and a show that will draw in thousands over the next three days in Regina.
Shock, frustration, anger, and rebuilding the family business.
That's what the last ten years have been like for the McCrea's in Baldwinton, near Cut Knife. Trevor McCrea remembers all too clearly what happened in the spring of 2003.
The outlook is looking better for Saskatchewan farmers in terms of seeding.
Seeding got off to a late start this spring due to the never-ending winter. But after falling behind in early spring producers have now caught up to the five year average for seeding.
Producers are getting closer to where they're supposed to be for spring planting.
In the weekly crop report released Thursday, Saskatchewan Agriculture reported spring seeding had reached the two-third mark and is now almost on par with the five-year average, said crop specialist Grant McLean.
“Our reporters are indicating we have around 67 per cent of the 2013 crop planted and that’s pretty close to the five-year average of 70 per cent.”
The province is investing in your food starting with how it grows.
The Saskatchewan government is putting $5 million toward wheat research projects.
The first three projects will receive about half that money. The researchers are focusing on improving wheat breeding, higher quality and performance wheat varieties, and looking at wheat fungicide strategies.
The money is coming from the province's agriculture development fund, and will be combined with another $5 million from the Canadian Wheat Alliance.
In a time when it may seem like the family farm is fading away, Saskatchewan is seeing 355 families celebrating working the same land for at least 100 years.
This spring, Information Services Corporation (ISC) is recognizing each of those families with an ISC Century Family Farm Award. On Monday, a celebratory luncheon was held in Regina to honour a portion of those families, with luncheons to be held in Swift Current on Tuesday, and in Saskatoon on Thursday.
About 200 people in Saskatoon took part in a march against agriculture giant Monsanto.
Demonstrators joined hundreds of thousands of people in over 250 cities worldwide who demonstrated against the agriculture chemical and seed maker.
Things are drying up around Saskatchewan, and although there are still pools of water on some farmer’s fields, that extra moisture can actually serve as a benefit later on in the summer.
Right now conditions are still fairly wet for some to get on their fields and start seeding. The latest provincial crop report outlines how seeding is just over a quarter finished in the province. That’s behind the five-year average.
Saskatoon researchers may have found a way to save Canadian farmers millions of dollars.
Scientists at the Saskatoon Research Centre have developed the first crucifer flea beetle-resistant strand of canola.
“The flea beetle is the worst insect pest of canola,” said Margret Gruber with Agriculture and Agi-Food Canada.

But work intrudes in the form of a bloody homicide, and Eve is off and running. The case is complicated by Eve's personal history with the victim - and by the killer's history with Roarke.

La Botana – Eating Out
2071 Savoy Dr., Atlanta. 770-986-9996; labotanatex-mex.com
Mon.-Thurs., 11 a.m.-10 p.m.; Fri., 11 a.m.-10:30 p.m.;
Sat., 11 a.m.-10 p.m.; Sun., closed.
Don’t be put off by the towering restaurant sign on Savoy Drive that could use a little love. This Mexican restaurant is a find. Its interior is unexpectedly welcoming, with spotless tables and colorful paper maché parrots hanging from the ceiling. Employees greet you with a friendly “Hello, amigos!” as your family steps through the door.
Whether your family likes a window seat or a booth by a TV, this restaurant allows you to pick your spot. Chips and salsa are brought out almost instantly to please hungry tummies, and entrees follow within a few minutes after your order. Fresh ingredients, authentic creations and affordable prices definitely put this on my list of favorite restaurants.
What’s on the menu: La Botana has traditional Mexican fare, from tamales to overstuffed burritos. Don’t expect the flavor-mottled Americanized version of Mexican food you find at chain restaurants – this is the real deal. The menu offers vegetarian options and large portions. Start the meal off with gooey white cheese dip or end it with a crispy churro.
Why kids will like it: The chips and salsa keep those pleading “I’m hungry” at bay and the colorful environment gives kids plenty to enjoy while the food is being prepared. While most of the offerings are Mexican dishes, the children’s menu also lists chicken fingers with fries for non-adventurous eaters. If the kids still have room for dessert, they’ll be drooling when they smell the $2 sopapillas (sweet, fried tortilla), or take a bite of the creamy flan.
Why parents will like it: It’s affordable. Everything on the kids’ menu is $3.50, and most regular menu items average from $6 to $9. Besides that, the ingredients are unbelievably fresh and the portion sizes enormous. My $2 side order tamale could have easily been my dinner, leaving no room for the big bowl of steaming chicken tortilla soup I ordered. Also, Margaritas are just $4, frozen or not.

Repeated BCG treatment of mouse bladder selectively stimulates small GTPases and HLA antigens and inhibits single-spanning uroplakins

BMC Cancer 2007, 7:204 doi:10.1186/1471-2407-7-204Published: 2 November 2007
Despite being a mainstay for treating superficial bladder carcinoma and a promising agent for interstitial cystitis, the precise mechanism of Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) remains poorly understood. It is particularly unclear whether BCG is capable of altering gene expression beyond its well-recognized pro-inflammatory effects and how this relates to its therapeutic efficacy. The objective of this study was to determine differentially expressed genes in the mouse bladder following repeated intravesical BCG therapy.
Mice were transurethrally instilled with BCG or pyrogen-free on days 1, 7, 14, and 21. Seven days after the last instillation, urothelia along with the submucosa was removed and amplified ds-DNA was prepared from control- and BCG-treated bladder mucosa and used to generate suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH). Plasmids from control- and BCG-specific differentially expressed clones and confirmed by Virtual Northern were then purified and the inserts were sequenced and annotated. Finally, chromatin immune precipitation combined with real-time polymerase chain reaction assay (ChIP/Q-PCR) was used to validate SSH-selected transcripts.
Repeated intravesical BCG treatment induced an up regulation of genes associated with antigen presentation (B2M, HLA-A, HLA-DQA1, HLA-DQB2, HLA-E, HLA-G, IGHG, and IGH) and representatives of two IFNγ-induced small GTPase families: the GBPs (GBP1, GBP2, and GBP5) and the p47GTPases (IIGTP1, IIGTP2, and TGTP). Genes expressed in saline-treated bladders but down-regulated by BCG included: the single-spanning uroplakins (UPK3a and UPK2), SPRR2G, GSTM5, and RSP 19.
Here we introduced a hypothesis-generator approach to determine key genes involved in the urothelium/sumbmucosa responses to BCG therapy. Urinary bladder responds to repeated BCG treatment by up-regulating not only antigen presentation-related genes, but also GBP and p47 small GTPases, both potentially serving to mount a resistance to the replication of the Mycobacterium. It will be of tremendous future interest to determine whether these immune response cascades play a role in the anti-cancer effects exerted by BCG.

BOULDER, Colo. -- It's what you get when you cross yoga with goats. "Goat yoga" is a thing, and it's the latest fitness craze.
Set on a sunny spring afternoon is a yoga session, designed for ultimate relaxation.
But in this class, those moments are rare, because this is goat yoga - where your cheek muscles are the ones doing the most work.
"You just can't help but smile even if a pose is hard. And you fall over and a goat falls on you. It's a good time," Tani Calderon, a yoga student, told KDVR.
"I wasn't expecting to be so balanced with goats walking around," yoga instructor Vaness Vitali said.
That's why instructor Vanessa Vitali and her yoga partners started this class in the first place.
"Yeah that's what therapy animals are for. They make you happy. They make you laugh and smile and just forget about anything you have going on in your days," Vitali said.
The goats only about 6 weeks old and they spend the class doing what baby goats do best.
"I was in downward facing dog and three of them were hanging out underneath me," said Lizzy Wolff.

This month, we’re looking at the numbers that make up the AFLPA’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander player advocacy.
Since it’s inception in 1973, according to records, the Players’ Association has represented at least 386 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander players.
Now a bi-annual event, the first camp was held in 2000 for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander players from across the league to come together on country to connect, learn and develop strategies to improve the football experience for all Indigenous players. Since 2000, the camp has been held across Australia, from Broome to Adelaide, and, for the first time in 2022, with AFLW and multicultural players in Geelong.
The Indigenous Advisory Board (IAB) was born out of the AFLPA/AFL Indigenous Camp. The IAB was the first of its kind in Australian sport and was chaired by Sydney champion Adam Goodes. The IAB signed off on the first edition of Many Stories, One Goal, Support Indigenous Footballers two years later.
Through discussions at the 2019 Indigenous All-Stars Summit, players and their Association unanimously decided to call out racial vilification on social media of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander members as it occurs when previously the PA would contact individual players asking for their preferences when handling the incident. This resulted in a dramatic change in the way the industry supports players through incidents of racism online.

The artist was born in Casablanca and spent his formative years in Marseille, Paris, and Los Angeles. It was in his early 20s that Mossé began his artistic career in Venice, California. He later obtained his MFA in painting from the Claremont Graduate School of Art and moved to New York in the late 1980s. As Mossé honed his painterly practice, a unique kind of color-saturated abstraction became his focus, and each composition—resolutely visceral and layered with pigment—is a depiction of luminosity itself.
On each canvas, the artist coerces colors into glowing forms which throb with their own kind of electricity. The pictorial space possesses colors so intense they seem to vibrate and even hum. As writer Lilly Wei states, “Mossé is a committed abstractionist with time and space on his mind, a light in his eyes and paint on his hands.” She continues, “The paintings fall into two compositional types, the scale variable, the tonalities of the grounds alternating, some darker, some paler, the overall orientation vertical. One grouping consists of multiple vertical shapes, the other of a single vertical shape. These uprights are self- referential forms, deliberately echoing the format of the painting as paintings within paintings. But it also purposely evokes much more,the vertical images assuming gurative, totemic import.”
Not Here the Darkness, 2015-2018 oil on linen 79 x 36 1/2 in, 200.7 x 92.7 cm
Mossé takes his time achieving the nal visual effect, frequently reworking a single canvas over months— even years. The end result is intriguingly paradoxical: an image of an instant, a sublime, signi cant ashforever captured on canvas. As the painter himself puts it, “What I’m working toward is the moment when color becomes light. That’s where the life is.”

Steineger confirms KBI visit, denounces critics
Agents asked GOP senator about public funding of building project
State Sen. Chris Steineger confirmed the Kansas Bureau of Investigation inquired about public financing of the Republican lawmaker's conversion of a defunct elementary school in Kansas City, Kan., into apartments.
The effort by Democrats in Wyandotte County to make questioning earlier this year by KBI agents into a political issue was improper so close to the November general election, Steineger said. He affirmed involvement of the KBI while blasting critics raising the issue as "hard-core political partisans who hate my politics."
"I was contacted by the KBI," Steineger said in a statement. "Was asked and answered questions regarding the Lowell school project. I have never seen a report."
He said government low-income housing tax credits and historic rehabilitation tax credits relied upon for the project were secured in a competition with other developers. The school building was renovated in 2010 and opened last year.
Matt Watkins, chairman of the county's Democratic Party, said Wednesday that Steineger ought to publicly discuss details of a situation attracting attention of the KBI. On Thursday, Watkins said he wasn’t satisfied with Steineger's explanation.
There is no evidence to indicate whether Steineger has been exonerated, Watkins said.
"Unethical behavior coming from Chris Steineger is nothing new," Watkins said. "Sadly, this is just the latest instance of Senator Steineger's repeated ethical lapses."
Steineger, who has been in the Senate since 1997, is campaigning for re-election in the 6th District of Wyandotte and Johnson counties against Democratic Party nominee Pat Pettey. She previously served as a commissioner on Wyandotte County's Unified Government and as a legislator in the Kansas House.
Pettey said facts of the case should be disclosed to voters in the Senate district. She said prosecution ought to proceed if the KBI and the state's attorney general believe there was misconduct in handling the historic structure.
"I think the voters are interested," she said. "I'm not sure there is going to be any concrete evidence to exonerate him or show something is moving forward."
Steineger changed his affiliation from Democratic to Republican in late 2010. This followed a finding by the Kansas Governmental Ethics Commission that he broke campaign finance law in 2009 by shifting Senate re-election funds to conduct polling on whether he should run for governor or secretary of state. He was fined $5,000 by the commission.

My husband and I love to travel and see different wildlife, especially birds. Actually, my favorite thing to see is my grand-daughter who lives about 3 long hours away from us.
We are both retired teachers (as of June 2010 for my DH) so will be able to go where we want, when we want!
I was born and raised in Chicago. We've lived and taught in South Dakota, Illinois and Wisconsin.
Now we're in the northwoods of Wis and enjoying nature... and cooking!
I love to cook; I hate to clean up afterwards. I am always trying to reduce the calories and fat in recipes without sacrificing the flavor. But I'd rather have a small serving of something delicious than a large serving of something so-so.
My favorite cookbook is the Joy of Cooking. I have several versions.
My garden keeps me busy in the summer. I like to make salsa with my own tomatoes, peppers, cilantro and onions. We've got several apple trees, so I make a bunch of apple butter, apple sauce, etc every fall. We also grow our own raspberries, currents, blueberries and rhubarb...yum!
My most requested dish is German Potato Salad. It is not from a cookbook, but from my mom's and my experience. It's very time consuming, but worth it! I also enjoy making jams, applesauce, vinegars and salsas.
My DH and I really like Mexican, Tex-Mex, and Thai foods. He loves to grill when we're not in the middle of a Wisconsin winter - spring through fall is more like it!

Goods and services tax (GST) collections dipped 3.6% in August from the previous month as delayed filing on account of technical glitches took a toll on the overall collection. Going by the experience in July , the kitty is expected to swell as more taxpayers pay even though the due date is over.
Latest data released by the finance ministry on Tuesday showed that in August, the government managed to rake in Rs 90,669 crore, marginally lower than the revised mop-up of Rs 94,063 crore in July . Initial estimates released on August 29 had estimated the July collections at Rs 92,283 crore. The final returns for August (GSTR 3B) had to be filed by September 20.
The data revealed that there were segments where collections had soared, such as through compensation cess, which is levied on tobacco products, pan masala and automobiles. There was a pickup in demand for large cars, especially SUVs, as the government had planned to increase the cess on these vehicles. Till Monday , 37.63 lakh of the 68.2 lakh entities registered for GST had filed their returns. “The above figures obviously do not include GST to be paid by 10.24 lakh assessees, who have opted for the composition scheme. Additionally , there are still a number of assessees who have not filed their return either for July or August, 2017. The increase in the above stated figures will be informed in due course,“ the government said in a statement.
Businesses have been complaining about difficulty in filing and submitting returns through the GST Network (GSTN) tax portal with many consultants complaining of regular outages and have blamed the lack of adequate capacity on the IT backbone supporting the new tax regime. The accusation has, however, been trashed by GSTN.
“It is too early to hazard a guess on the overall GST collections as many taxpayers have still not paid GST; there is inconsistency in collections because of transitional credit and exporters not being able to claim refund of GST. Things will settle down only in the next few months wherein a clearer picture on GST revenues would emerge,“ said Abhishek Jain, tax partner at consulting firm EY India.

Two facts can be mutually exclusive when looking at the New York Islanders start to the 2022-23 season.
- It’s too early to slap a label on and prescribe them a place in the standings.
- Their early lack of production and attention to detail provides quite a red flag.
The Islanders are 2-4-0 to start the new campaign under Lane Lambert, who has the difficult job of taking an unchanged roster back to the playoffs.
A new system that teased more offensive production thanks to a more supportive defense in the attacking zone has been wildly inconsistent. Twelve of their 19 goals this year have come in two games ― both against two of the worst teams in the Western Conference — while tallying just seven across their other four against quality Eastern Conference opposition.
Lambert has already tinkered with his lineup, scratching established veterans like Josh Bailey and Anthony Beauvillier in consecutive games during an unsuccessful Florida road trip that featured losses to the Tampa Bay Lightning and Florida Panthers.
“There’s no concern the right pieces are here,” Lambert said in an attempt to downplay recent decisions. “It’s just a matter of generating the chemistry and if things are not going the way we want to, we have to do something in terms of moving our guys around. They understand that.”
With an attack struggling to click, a team that had been an organized unit under former head coach Barry Trotz now has the fourth-most turnovers this season, per Statmuse, with 78. The defensemen that have been tasked with supporting the offense have left star goalie Ilya Sorokin out to dry, allowing the third-most high-danger scoring chances in the NHL with 59.
It’s a number that needs to be tightened up, especially with their next three games coming against prolific offensive teams in the Rangers on Wednesday, the Carolina Hurricanes on Friday, and the Colorado Avalanche a day later.
“We’re close but at the same time, we’ve got to lock it down here soon,” Lambert said.
The concept of “close” is objective, especially in the midst of a three-game losing streak. The Islanders Corsi and Fenwick are in the top half of the league. They outshot the Lightning 35-26 and controlled most of the third period against the Panthers after being dominated for the first two.
“Our game is going in the right direction,” captain Anders Lee said. “Not getting the results right now so we have to stick with it, push through this, and get ready for Wednesday.”

Review Article of Journal of Herbal Medicine Research The effects of Chinese Herbal Medicine on Blood- Brain Barrier Lihong Deng and Shao Liu* Zhongshan Asia Pacific Hospital, 3 Nanjiang Road, Zhongshan, Guangdong, China Review method: Single-blind; Peer reviewer comments: 1. ABSTRACT The blood-brain barrier (BBB), which can open under both physiology and pathophysiology, is an important diffusion barrier to brain. It can block many componds from blood and protect the brain. BBB is mainly built by cerebral endothelium, tight junctions, adherens junctions, astrocytes, and pericytes and extracellular matrix. Each element plays specific roles to protect the brain. Currently, one of the limitations to treat CNS diseases is that most drugs can not pass through the BBB and can not directly affect the focus of infection. So drugs which could help BBB open would help us to treat CNS diseases. Chinese herbal medicine has been wildly used in China to treat all kinds of diseases, and some of them, like Borneol, Acorus tatarinowii Schott, Moschus, Storax and Benzoin, has notably dual effects on the permeability of the BBB. They can both reduce and increase the the permeability of the BBB. More studies on the effects on Chinese herbal medicine’s effects on BBB may help us out of the limitation that brain drugs can not pass through the BBB. Keywords: blood-brain barrier, Chinese herbal medicine, Borneol, Acorus tatarinowii Schott, Moschus, Storax, Benzoin ...

Review Article of Journal of Herbal Medicine Research Chinese Herbal Medicine and Stroke- a Short Review Min Xu Hainan Radio & TV University, Longhua 2nd Cross Rd, Longhua, Haikou, Hainan, China Review method: Single-blind; Peer reviewer comments: 1. ABSTRACT Stroke is one of the primary cause of long- term disability. Although mounting studies focused on stroke research, currently, only available treatment for stroke is t-PA, with the limitation of a very narrow therapeutic window because of the risk of hemorrhage. So, new therapeutic methods for stoke are expected. Chinese herbal medicine has been used to treat stroke with a history of many centuries and is stilling wildly used in China. This review focuses on reporting the research progress of the Chinese herbal medicine including Acorus tatarinowii Schott, Borneol, Moschus and other herbal medicine in stroke. The Conclusion is Chinese herbal medicine including Acorus tatarinowii Schott, Borneol and Moschus could reduce stroke injury and help brain recovery after stroke. More studies in Chinese herbal medicine and stroke may help us to develop a useful treatment for stroke. Keywords: Chinese herbal medicine, stroke, Acorus tatarinowii Schott, Borneol, Moschus ...

Background: Fragrances from aromatic oils of Citrus have been particularly attributed with mood enhancing properties by aroma therapists. Volatile oils are available in very small amounts hence authors intend to establish antianxiety activity of leaf extracts that can be made available for commercial purposes. Objectives: The present study was designed to authenticate the already established anti-anxiety activity (by using elevated plus maze model) of various extracts of the leaves of Citrus paradisi var. Duncan by authors using different animal models. Methods: Swiss Albino mice were treated with different doses of the leaf extracts (50, 100, 200 and 400 mg / kg p.o.) and Diazepam (2mg/kg, p.o) was used as a positive control. Antianxiety activity was determined using Y maze model, light dark model and hole board methods. Results: Results of study show that methanol extract in higher doses (100, 200, 400 mg/kg) possesses marked anti anxiety activity and was comparable to the effect produced by diazepam. Conclusion: The plant can be developed as a commercial source of anxiolytic agent. Further studies are in-process to isolate the active constituent responsible for this activity and mechanism of action. Keywords: Anxiety, Grapefruit, Hole board test, Light dark model, Y maze ...

(All Album Reviews by Sean)
I picked up this cd a few months ago while I was in Nashville checking out King Crimson. I didn't know exactly what to expect (from this cd). I had read a review of it though that said it's instrumentation rivaled Steely Dan's, so that piqued my interest. Also I had a copy of Mike Keneally's cd, Boil That Dust Speck (which contains an amusing and amazing collage of great Steve Howe riffs on a tune called "Faithful Axe"- Yes fans take note), which had interesting tunes but sometimes was just weird for weirds sake I think, it was good and amazing, but didn't keep me coming back to it. I heard this cd was more melodic and accessible though, so I figured I'd try it...... The above mentioned review was right, it was a dense mixture of sounds that caught my ear right away! And the hooks came flying after me from the get go. The opening track alone, "Live In Japan", was a breath of fresh air and pretty damn infectious. Intelligent pop? Maybe. Kinda like...Steely?? A tad but not really, maybe more Rundgrenish meets Zappa.... In case you don't know, Beer For Dolphins is the brainchild of guitarist/composer Keneally. He has released a number of solo cds prior to putting BFD together. BFD is kinda like a big(ger) band approach to his music. Vibes, sax, keys, trumpet, 2 guitars, bass and drums makes up their BIG sound. Mike played with the legendary Frank Zappa so as you can imagine, his talent is pretty monsterous. But his songwriting is right up there with his amazing chops. He balances the two very well. The cd starts in a pop/rock way and gets progressively denser and more demanding. The second half of this cd is pretty out there, but in a very listenable way. There's more than a touch of Frank's influence felt here and I think it's great! But thats not all. Check out the samples for yourself. I think there's a lot here that a prog rock fan or just a fan of good music will enjoy.

The band simply runs the table in any style you can think of. Part straight up rock and psychedelia, part off the wall jazz with a liberal dose of incredibly complex and driving classical pomp. Mikey is really showing that his roots are with Frank Zappa's band where he replaced Steve Vai as the stunt guitarist on FZ's last tour (1988) before his death.
This was the next logical step for MK/BFD after 1997's excellent Sluggo!. This album finds the reconstituted and augmented eight piece BFD band (adding a second guitarist, two horn and woodwind players and a marimba/percussionist to the original bass, drums, keys combo) making a huge sound. The vibes and brass players add an entirely new dimension to the band, filling out the sound and giving it a very Zappa-esque sort of feel. The recording is also a vast improvement over the previous releases, sounding more transparent with a truly widescreen cinemascope soundstage.
Here's a few of my favorite moments:
The album opens with "Live in Japan", a wacky power-pop megasingle with a "Circus from Hell" finish. Gotta love that Drums and Wires era XTC chorus at the end!
Then there's a monster Seattle grunge pre-Aqualung Jethro Tull kinda number.
There's the off kilter jazzy and XTC-ish sounds of "Backwards Deb".
The totally Steely Dan-ish, subtle and sentimental "Joe" and "I Was Not Ready For You". These tracks bring everything that's missing on the new Dan album to the table. Tight and creative playing and a real sense of having something to say.
The amazingly complicated yet oddly melodic "Pretty Enough for Girls", seeming ripped right from the Frank Zappa songbook. Indescribably odd and adventurous. Incredible track. How does a person even begin writing a song like this?
"PE4G" jumps right into "Taster", an instrumental Stevie Ray Vaughn blues guitar tinged slow track filled with powerful tension by the entirely unexpected dropped beats throughout. About halfway through, the song turns ominous and sad. Gloriously cinematic. These 2 tracks make for an awesome 1-2 punch.
The typical BFD 1,000,000 MPH offbeat jazz fusion treatment on tracks like "Selfish Otter" and "Lhai Sal" that you've come to expect from the previous BFD releases. Only bigger and denser now with the jazzy new band!
The wonderfully goofy Dick Dale/Ventures surf sound of "The Mystery Music". Again, the "Zappa style" big band arrangement (particularly the vibes and sax interplay) make this track a jaw dropper.
The great sax filled instrumental jazz section of the raw, rocking "Ragged Ass".
Then there's the wildly loose and freewheeling "Skull Bubbles" with it's almost "honky tonk blues in space" sort of quality about how MK's life is falling apart. I love the following lyric which seems so right for MK's station in the music world:
"When I was 7 years of age,
I learned the sweetest holiday song.
How the Hell's everything gone so wrong?"
Then there's the beautiful half Pet Sounds era Beach Boys, half Vince Guaraldi piano flavored "Friends and Family".
However, it's the closing track that really rips my head off. "Kedgeree" starts slow with MK quietly plucking notes on an electric guitar and quickly builds to a kinetic, bouncing track with a hypnotically psychedelic off beat melody. The track then picks up speed and and turns into a brain frying sideways Quadrophenia/Tommy flavored sort of rock/classical monster. The drummer does the best insane flailing Keith Moon impression I've ever heard here! The song then drops into a slow and surreal, decidedly Pink Floydian instrumental passage with a gorgeous and just-so-right guitar solo only to eventually come back around to an enormous reprise of the songs highly original and complex theme. A stunner. Really different stuff.
There's more, but my fingers are falling off.
At a full 80 minutes (79:56 actually) you would expect the usual problem of filler and while there are a couple of tracks that fall a bit flat for me, usually the simple and slow sentimental ones, but these are few and far between. That accounts for less than 10 minutes here. The other 70 minutes are filled with some of the most amazingly creative music I've ever heard. Keneally is channeling the gods here.
Progressive rock? Not really, no mellotrons or bass pedals here! It's only progressive in the sense that this music adventurously tries to transcend what is normally expected of rock music.
WARNING: Most of this music will probably fly right by you for about the first 5 spins. Give it's complexities and quirks time to settle and this disc will hook you terminally, like it did me.

Boeing has yet to nail down completely the problem that forced the scrub of the August launch of its CST-100 Starliner test flight to the International Space Station, so the company has decided to keep testing while grabbing hardware from a future flight in the hopes of maybe getting the much delayed mission done in the first half of 2022.
Orbital Flight Test-2 was already a redo of the company’s initial uncrewed test of the vehicle contracted with NASA to shuttle astronauts to and from the ISS. Boeing was one of two companies to win the contracts under NASA’s Commercial Crew Program but has fallen behind SpaceX, which has already launched four crewed missions to the station with its Crew Dragon as well as a civilian orbital flight.
The initial Orbital Flight Test in December 2019 managed to launch and land safely, but because of software issues, it was not able to rendezvous with the ISS. The mission was labeled by NASA as a “high visibility close call” that led to a post-launch review that recommended 80 changes to the program.
All seemed well as the company addressed the issues, but a new problem occurred when several valves on the Starliner service module propulsion system got stuck in the wrong positions during the August countdown.
The likely culprit was moisture mixing with an oxidizer used on the valves, and Boeing has come up with some options so a similar issue won’t happen on future launches.
Go For Launch - Space News
But not knowing for certain the root problem, Boeing has decided to continue work on the service module, and replace it with one that was being prepared for the next Starliner test flight, the Crew Flight Test. And in a domino move, the third Starliner flight, Starliner-1, will have its service module instead assigned to the crewed flight test.
“NASA has been working side-by-side with Boeing on the service module valve investigation, including leveraging the agency’s materials and propellants expertise to better characterize the potential causes of the issue,” said NASA’s Commercial Crew Program manager Steve Stich. “Because of the combined work, we have a much better understanding of the contributors that led to the valve issues, and ways to prevent it from happening in the future. Boeing remains diligent and driven by the data during its decision making, which is key to ensuring the Starliner system is ready when we fly our test missions in 2022.”
Just when a new attempt can be made will have to wait for the new service module to be mated with the Starliner capsule. The mission also will need a launch window and room on the ISS so the Starliner has somewhere to dock. A launch window is open in May from Cape Canaveral, but several potential dates are under review.
Boeing vice president and program manager for its Commercial Crew Program John Vollmer said the company had always lined up the possibility it would need to shift hardware so it could move forward with the uncrewed test launch.
“Our objective was to get back to flight safely and as soon as possible. With this objective in mind, we set out on parallel paths: remediating valves to preserve the option of utilizing the existing service module, while also working to accelerate the build of the next service module,” Vollmer said.
The company will continue to test the problem service module at NASA’s White Sands Test Facility. It had already been under the microscope at Boeing’s Commercial Crew and Cargo Processing Facility, NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center and other laboratories.
The valves underwent CT scans, a variety of exposure conditions and some were removed and taken apart for analysis. The goal is to re-create what the hardware saw when it was in United Launch Alliance’s Vertical Integration Facility and while atop the Atlas V rocket on the launch pad at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

For the first time, real-time weather data taken by the NOAA-operated unmanned NASA Global Hawk aircraft went directly into one of NOAA’s operational hurricane forecast models to assist in the forecast of Tropical Storm Erika.
“NOAA’s National Weather Service had enough confidence in the data to use them in one of its operational hurricane forecast models,” said Robbie Hood, director of NOAA’s Unmanned Aircraft System Program. “This is a first step toward evaluating what kind of difference the data can make.”
Ground crews prepare NASA’s remotely piloted Global Hawk for Wednesday's flight over Tropical Storm Erika, located just east of the Leeward Islands, as part of NOAA-led mission Sensing Hazards with Operational Unmanned Technology (SHOUT). The Global Hawk provides a unique vantage point for weather observations because it flies higher and longer than any manned aircraft. It allows data collection from 60,000 feet, an altitude nearly twice as high as manned aircraft, to the ocean surface. (Photo credit: NASA/Allison Stancil)
The NASA Global Hawk landed Thursday morning at 6:43 AM ET, August 27, at NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility, Wallops Island, Virginia, after flying the first mission of the hurricane season over and around Tropical Storm Erika. The flight is part of the Sensing Hazards with Operational Unmanned Technology or SHOUT mission, which builds on earlier collaborative research led by NASA and offers NOAA scientists an opportunity to “test drive” the Global Hawk as a potential new meteorological observing tool for routine operational use.
The mission included successful dropsonde deployments with the Advanced Vertical Atmospheric Profiling System (AVAPS), which has been used previously for hurricane research and operations.
The National Weather Service was able to successfully assimilate this dropsonde data of temperature, pressure, moisture, wind speed and direction from the tropical storm into the operational model. This first time event provided real-time information to the hurricane forecasters and continues to build on previous research.
The SHOUT mission is closely coordinated with NOAA’s ongoing hurricane field program, which also provided dropsonde, flight level and tail Doppler radar data from the NOAA P-3 and G-IV manned aircraft for the HWRF operational model. All aircraft will continue to observe, measure, and transmit data about Tropical Storm Erika in an effort to improve forecast guidance as the storm moves closer to the United States mainland.
SHOUT is funded in part by the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act of 2013, passed by Congress in the wake of the devastating Hurricane Sandy. For more information on SHOUT go to: http://uas.noaa.gov/shout/.

Answer: If the trees look otherwise healthy, my question to you is - do they flower? If not, they will not produce fruit. If they do flower but do not produce fruit it can be due to lack of pollination or that you have ornamental plum trees rather than fruit bearing trees. It would help to know the varieties of plum trees you've planted. With the name we can determine whether that variety will produce fruit in your gardening region. Wish I had more to offer.

You aren’t lazy. Nothing about coping with chronic illness and pain equates to slothfulness. Each moment that you decide to stay in the fight is brave and exhausting. Every second that you don’t give over to the ease of eternal sleep shows enormous strength and fortitude. You are amazing and your struggle is acknowledged by the millions of us who gear up to face each day.
It is difficult to find distractions from pain and other loud symptoms. I often have to use multiple techniques at once. This might look like someone with an attention problem to an outsider. If I’m watching a movie, I’m also doing a jigsaw puzzle. If I’m listening to a podcast, I’m also baking. There are very few activities that I can do to distract myself from my pain. Layering different things together provides a mini-overload. My brain can’t process a crossword puzzle, television show, burning incense, and jotting notes down at the same time as it registers my leg screaming. Occasionally, the nerves win out. But more often, those small moments of distraction offer me a respite from the pain.
There are more distractions associated with living a fast-paced lifestyle than that of a chronic sufferers existence. From a constantly buzzing cell phone to multiple commitments for the same timeframe, few people acknowledge the joy they get from attention-divided actions. Their distractions get labeled as important, necessary, and work while someone with a differently demanding life will face scrutiny over their distractions with labels like interruption, attention deficit, and intrusive. While attention deficit disorder is a real affliction, it shouldn’t be the standard diagnosis for everyone who needs or wants distractions with their activities.
I practice singular focus often. Sitting down and only reading a book or watching a long documentary from start to end challenge my wandering brain and sharpen my focus. However, my symptoms are most pronounced when I can’t distract myself. Are all attention dividers negative if they are helping me soften the obtrusiveness of my pain? Or lower the overtness of other physical symptoms? Finding a balance between stillness (something I’ve written about before) and mental gymnastics is difficult. There is a lot of trial and error involved. Maybe your distraction to focus ratio is different than most others. That is okay. As long as you are functioning to the best of your ability, rock that weirdness.
Most of this might sound like a practice in contradictions. It is. Our bodies are constantly at battle with our desires. Our thoughts ping pong between variations of pain, joy, anger, sadness, and love. Some days your body tricks you. Giving out moments of peace and painlessness like aloe on a burn, only to leave you bed-ridden the next day. The bent and broken existence is full of oxymoronic and incomprehensible words, actions, and feelings. Learning how to listen to your body and taking decisive steps to achieve a comfortable mental and physical environment is vital. You are the only one who knows what you need. Do what you must to grab those pieces of sanity.

ISLAMABAD : Estranged Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Ayesha Gulalai became upset after she was prohibited from sitting on the stage with other JUI-F leaders during a sit-in protest in the federal capital.
According to details, Ayesha Gulalai was on her way to join leaders of the JUI-F who were sitting on the stage. The protest was organised by the party against FATA’s proposed merger with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Gulalai was stopped by one of the organising members of the sit-in protest. According to him, women were not allowed to sit with the men on the stage during the party’s rallies.
Speaking to a private television channel, Gulalai said that she should have been allowed on the stage. “Women are given proper respect in FATA,” she said, referring to the incident.
Meanwhile, addressing participants of the protest, Maulana Fazal-ur-Rahman said that FATA should be accorded the status of a separate province.
“If Gilgit-Baltistan can be recognised as a separate province, why can’t we grant the same to FATA?” he asked.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — As an overdose prevention coordinator, Bernie Lieving works to prevent drug overdoses and train first responders, families, community members and anyone else who might encounter drug use on how to recognize the signs of an overdose and reverse a drug’s effects to prevent overdose deaths.
“This isn’t just overdose prevention education and naloxone distribution to stereotyped people who you would think are injection drug users,” Lieving said. “Anybody who has a prescription for an opioid and a prescription for a benzodiazepine and/or has a cocktail at dinner is at risk for a possible overdose. We go to senior centers, do patient education.
“Lots of people don’t know they’re at risk for a possible overdose, so some of the education I’ve given to older adults has taught them things they didn’t know.”
Lieving said training and education are approached with a “harm reduction” perspective.
“Driving a car can be dangerous, so when we get in a car you put your seatbelt on, don’t text while you’re driving, generally follow traffic laws and speed limits,” Lieving said. “We apply that to other kinds of behaviors, specifically around drug and alcohol use in acknowledging that there are healthier ways of using drugs and alcohol than others, and drug and alcohol use exists on a continuum, from abstinence to chaos, but there’s a lot in between.
“We understand that not everyone is going to be abstinent and not everyone is going to be in chaos so we work with people where they are and talk to them about healthier ways of using drugs and alcohol that don’t put them at risk for infectious diseases and blood-borne pathogens like hepatitis C or endocarditis. We also talk with people when it relates to overdose, about how to use drugs and alcohol in a way that doesn’t put them at risk for an opioid overdose or an overdose on other substances.”
Lieving said he believes New Mexico has for years been a leader in terms of harm reduction, starting with the Harm Reduction Act in 1998. It granted safe needle exchange through the Department of Health and other proxies, distribution of naloxone since 2001, and now more complex education and training.
“It’s really about meeting people where they are, engaging them with dignity and respect and acknowledging that people who use drugs are members of our community and they deserve to be as healthy as safe as they can and want to be,” he said.
But Lieving said there’s still work to do, especially in reaching the root causes that also lead to people experiencing addiction.
“As a leader in the nation on harm reduction, people are understanding that it works and we cannot arrest our way out of this, we can’t imprison our way out of it, we can’t mandate abstinence out of this,” Lieving said. “I’m hoping that we’re going to continue making progress and looking at this as a public health issue and not criminalizing people that are living with substance use disorders.
I think one of the major things we don’t do in addressing this epidemic is looking at the antecedents to problematic drug and alcohol use– addressing issues of trauma and racism and poverty and sexism and homophobia and all of the social pollutions that affect people and marginalize them.”
He said addressing those root causes requires a holistic, intersectional approach.
“(We need) long-term evidence-based prevention initiatives that start in elementary school and to look at providing people opportunities for education and jobs and to address all of the social stressors that impact a vulnerable family related to drug and alcohol use,” Lieving said. “We’re doing a lot of work at keeping people alive and meeting people where they are and providing them with education and naloxone and hopefully increased access to treatment, but we’re not looking at the social determinants, or addressing the social determinants.”

Whatever their native language or culture, audiences often see themselves in his Russian characters, making Chekhov seem an author who easily transcends his own culture and time. Nonetheless, students, actors, and audiences alike are often initially puzzled by Chekhov's dramatic texts. Are they comic or tragic, ironic or sincere, starkly familiar or willfully elusive? How can his often seemingly irrelevant dialogue create dynamic performances? In his stories and plays alike, Chekhov challenges his readers to diagnose his characters' desires, opinions, heartaches and joys in the same way that doctors diagnose illness by attending closely to apparently trivial details. In the plays where narrative voice is absent and characters speak for themselves reading under a microscope becomes all the more necessary. The expert attention that Carnicke pays to the performative dimensions of Chekhov's plays makes her book unique among the published guides to Chekhov's works.
