Hunt’s four-some display for Haverhill
DIVISION TWO WEST
March Bears 12
With a large crowd on a lovely day for rugby, Haverhill hosted March Bears for their first league game of the season and put on a consummate performance.
Within two minutes, man-of-the-match Adam Hunt ripped the ball from his opposite number, peeled left and scored under the post for Jake Jeffs to convert for 7-0.
It only took another three minutes for Hunt to score a second with Jeffs adding the extras for 14-0.
On their first foray into the Haverhill half, a nice catch and drive on the five metre line saw March cross the line, despite Haverhill’s best efforts for 14-5.
Five minutes later, a great example of following the penalty kick was seen when Jeffs’ 40 metre kick hit the post for Hunt to snaffle and crash over the line with the conversion added.
Just before the break Haverhill increased their advantage to 26-5 when a quick tap penalty by Jeffs saw Zee go through Hunt for a strong run before releasing the charging Luke Stockings on half way to storm past the full-back and go over in the corner for his first try for the club.
After the turn, Stockings was released again for a try but the pass was deemed forward and disallowed.
One of the best passes for years by Jeffs, bypassing a trio of players over 30 metres, set the ever aware winger Jamie Pawley to intercept at full speed and smash through the tackler for a terrific unconverted try in the corner.
Bears responded with their own try following a scrum seeing the ball skew to the openside for their scrum-half to go under the posts.
Within five minutes Haverhill added to the score with a lovely driven scrum with Ricky Brown carry three tacklers over the line for 36-12.
The final minute saw a lovely pirouette around the back of the scrum by the number eight Chris Flannery to gain open ground. Quick hands to Jeffs afforded a perfectly timed pass to Hunt, who ran from half-way through the defence and under the posts for his fourth try and for Jeffs to score, making it 43-12 at the whistle.
n Haverhill travel early to Saffron Walden on Saturday for a 1.30pm kick-off to ensure all are back for the England versus Wales game at 8pm, which is being shown on the big screen in the clubhouse with all welcome.


Given the snowfall announced for Tuesday, January 22nd, the mobility organization Touring recommends tele-working and postponing or canceling non-urgent trips. The snowfall is likely to disrupt rush-hour traffic.
The Royal Meteorological Institute (MRI) forecasts two to five centimeters of snow Tuesday throughout the territory. The low temperatures will reach the west of the country in the morning, and it will then move east to leave the territory at the end of the day. That’s why Touring recommends working from home and avoiding non-urgent trips.
According to a recent survey, 57% of vehicles are well equipped for the snow. The cold wave will approach the country around 06:00 via the coast and West Flanders. Two hours later, the snow will fall in Brussels, Hainaut and Walloon Brabant, before covering Liège, Namur and the province of Luxembourg.


The 68 S is definitely a model that will trace a new path, completely separating itself from all other Opens currently on the market. The ?expressions of Righini? will penetrate deeply into the hearts of those who privilege comfort but also love to race the waves. This Open sports an overall length of 21.6 metres and a beam of 5.5 metres. Two 1150cv MTU engines with V-drive transmission for a top speed of between 36 to 38 knots as well as other particulars that will get it noticed.

Can Egg Replacers Satisfy Customers’ Taste Buds?
Used in the creation of almost every baked good we can think of, eggs add flavor and perform the important function of holding the ingredients together. Egg replacers have seen a growth in popularity in recent years, attributed in part to the increase of individuals trying a vegan diet, which means that more and more bakeries are looking to make their mark by experimenting with their use in baked goods.
But how do egg replacers stack up to the real deal?
CuliNex conducted a series of studies testing real eggs against their most popular egg replacer substitutes in the creation of popular baked goods like brownies, muffins, sweet dough and chocolate chip cookies. When it came to the test, there were some noticeable differences between the baked goods made with real eggs and those that were not. Flavor, texture, batter viscosity and appearance were affected in almost every test, and in no test did an egg replacer perform better than whole eggs.
Videos were used to document the comparison of each egg-made baked good to its egg replacer counterpart, all of which can be viewed at RealEggs.org.
Although egg replacers are a great solution for vegans and individuals with egg allergies, these tests show that developing sweet treats with egg replacers will take your team a bit of time and experimenting. Not all egg replacers are made the same, and with starch-based, soy-based, whey-based options and more on the market, bakeries interested in offering egg-free sweets should experiment with their replacement options until they find the most flavorful and attractive solution.
Whether your bakery is working with real eggs or egg replacers, we at Empire Bakery Equipment are here to assist you in finding the best equipment to perform the tasks at hand. Visit us online to learn more about our equipment options or call us at 1-800-878-4070 to work with a representative to find the right equipment solutions to meet your bakery’s specific needs.

I am responding to Sen. James Seward’s comments in The Daily Star last week, in which he stated that the Cuomo administration and the process of review at the state Department of Environmental Conservation regarding shale gas extraction in New York have been adequately cautious and that legislative action was unnecessary.
This position is at odds with the majority of his constituents. In my part of Otsego County, we have a ban on gas drilling, because of courageous citizens and local elected officials. We need our legislators to show such courage.
At a League of Women Voters debate last year in Cooperstown, Jim Seward’s name was repeatedly mentioned by local Republican incumbents, who advised that towns not take action to zone out drilling until AFTER the home rule bill Sen. Seward was co-sponsoring passed the Senate. They warned that otherwise such zoning could be “risky” and lead to “expensive litigation.”
They were right about the expense of litigation, as Middlefield has discovered in its successful legal defense, but they were wrong to ask us to wait for Seward’s Home Rule bill to pass, since it never did — never was even brought up for a vote.
I am a registered Democrat who voted for Republican Seward in the past two elections, because I believed that he would come through with home rule legislation. Frankly, I feel duped. I believe that I am representative of many voters who are determined not to be fooled again. Lots of the anti-fracking vote went to Seward last time. This will not happen again if he votes no on this moratorium bill — or stands idly by while his colleagues in the Senate prevent the bill from being brought to the floor for a vote.

Kogi State Traditional Rulers Council on Wednesday presented the governor, Yahaya Bello, to President Muhammadu Buhari for support towards his second term election in November.
The Monarchs were led to the Council Chamber of the Presidential Villa, Abuja, by the Attah Igala, His Royal Majesty, Dr. Michael Idakwo Ameh Oboni.
They also pleaded with the President to appoint one of their subjects as a substantive minister in his cabinet and not a minister of state.
Briefing State House correspondents after meeting with the President, spokesman of Kogi traditional rulers, Solomon Dele Owoniyi, the Obaru of Kabba and chairman of Okun Council of Obas, said that their meeting with the President was to seek the support of the President in his second term election.
According to him, Governor Bello had been endorsed by the people of the state.
He said “We are here on behalf of all the traditional rulers in Kogi state. We came to pay a courtesy call on Mr. President.
“We came for three basic things, one to felicitate with and congratulate him for winning the last general elections.
“We congratulated him because the election was so hectic and so many Nigerians were confused, they didn’t know what to do. But to God be the glory at the end of the day the president came back for the second term and his mandate was revalidated by most Nigerians especially in Kogi state.
“Secondly, we came to pray for him that this last lap is very critical in the checkered history of Nigeria and it is our wish and prayer that all the aspirations of Mr. President will come to fruition without much rancour.
“Thirdly, like the chairman of the traditional rulers said, the Attah of Igala said, he had come to upgrade what the president called the shopping list. Since we voted for the president and as usual like Oliver Twist we must demand our rights, we decided to upgrade the list of our demands from Kogi state.
“I am pleased to inform you, ladies and gentlemen, that Mr. President has graciously alluded to most of our requests and has told us to come home and tell our people that he has us at the back of his mind and that he was going to approach most of these issues as they come.
“Fourthly, we had to reintroduce our governor to the president. Some people in the social media are already saying we are playing politics, we are not playing politics we are being realistic. When you are realistic you say things as there.
“We came to reintroduced our governor to the president and demanded for normal support since they belong to the same party, the issue of endorsement is not here, the people at home have already endorsed His Excellency, Alhaji Yahaya Bello for second term, so we don’t need to re-endorsed him in Abuja here.” he added
He said that all the traditional rulers needed to do was to re-present the governor to the President and Commander in Chief of the armed forces of Nigeria.
He said that all the traditional rulers needed to do was to re-present the governor to the President and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of Nigeria.
He said: “So we are very happy that Mr. President received us very well and the traditional rulers have reconfirmed their support for both the federal and state governments.
“And we are happy to announce too because our governor announced it here that the last tranche of bailout fund of about N30.8 billion has been approved. So the issue of salary arrears, allowances and pensions will be put to rest by His grace before the elections.
“So we are confident that with this federal government, we are going to have a good deal with it and by the grace of God since we are supporting Mr. President, it is natural and normal for him to pay us back in the right coins.
“So we are happy to announce to our people at home that Mr. President has promised to treat us very well.
“Like the chairman of our traditional council said, we are not comfortable with minister of state, so our status in the federal cabinet must be upgraded to a full fleshed minister and by the grace of God Minister of finance.” he said.

Needless to say, there's been a lot of successful artists to come from Disney Channel. As a kid that was addicted to television, it's cool to grow up with them and still be a fan in a different way! Here's some of my favorites, as well as some you might've not known got their start on Disney!
Sabrina Carpenter from "Girl Meets World"
Ross Lynch from "Austin & Ally"
Britney Spears from "The Mickey Mouse Club" (Justin Timberlake & Christina Aguilera got their start from there too!)
Zendaya from "Shake It Up"
Hilary Duff from "Lizzie McGuire"
Aly & AJ from "Cow Belles"
Hayley Kiyoko from "Lemonade Mouth" (Plus an honorable mention to Bridgit Mendler who is becoming a doctor!)
Dove Cameron from "Liv and Maddie"
Not to mention Olivia Rodrigo and Joshua Bassett who haven't totally pulled the brakes on acting yet! And of course the ones we all know and love: Miley Cyrus, The Jonas Brothers, Demi Lovato, and Selena Gomez. Plus some "High School Musical" members who took their shot at making a successful music career: Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale, and Corbin Bleu. Brings me back to the days of Disney Sing It!
Who's your favorite Disney Channel alum to become a singer?

Seventeenth century opera remains the true connoisseur’s delight partly because it’s so rarely done. However, the Dell’Arte Opera Ensemble is doing its best to brighten the doldrums of August with a wonderfully involving production of Monteverdi’s final opera L’Incoronazione di Poppea which began a six-performance run Thursday evening at Classic Stage Company’s theater, just off of Manhattan’s Union Square.
Despite its being ten years old, Dell’Arte had somehow escaped my notice until I heard about this Poppea. The organization’s admirable mission is to help young singers make the transition from the conservatory to full performing careers—rather like a self-contained Young Artists program where the singers perform leading roles rather than just covering and being in the chorus. Dell’Arte provides extensive language and musical coaching to supplement its long rehearsal process—a system which is clearly bearing fruit based on the mature and confident performances of the large Monteverdi cast.
Supporting these aims, Dell’Arte scored a canny coup for its first opera from the baroque repertoire by inviting the up-and-coming period-instrument ensemble The Sebastians to form the core of the Poppea band. Recent winner of the Audience Prize at the Early Music America Baroque Performance Competition, the Sebastians surely provided a salutary grounding for a crew of singers with little or no experience in this kind of music.
It was a tribute to Jeffrey Grossman, Sebastians harpsichordist and leader of the performance, that everyone sounded so at home in Monteverdi’s challenging signature style of heightened recitative, which was so ably supported by his intrepid continuo group of cellist Ezra Seltzer, harpist Christa Patton and tireless theorbist John Lenti.
Grossman’s work was strongly supported by the spare but inventive staging by Victoria Crutchfield which with no scenery to speak of and just a few props still vividly delineated the roiling world created in Busenello’s supreme libretto of a Roman court thrown into chaos by its emperor Nerone’s obsession with the seductive minx Poppea. That Nerone wishes to make her his empress is complicated both by his unhappy marriage to Ottavia (who is” infrigidita e infeconda”) and her long-suffering former lover Ottone. As the opera ends with an incoronazione (coronation), we know that Poppea–whose ambitions throughout are watched over by the god of love, Cupid–emerges victorious.
Costumes for the production were contemporary with touches of Roman swag, but modernity was not emphasized, other than by lines of cocaine done by Nerone and his crony Lucano and an obligatory cell phone appearance in the final scene, but Ottone still brought a dagger rather than a pistol to kill Poppea.
Nobly abiding by the composer’s prescribed vocal ranges, the production featured a mezzo as Nerone, the brooding and fiery Alison Cheeseman whose bio was unfortunately omitted from the program. Looking remarkably like a young Patti Smith, Cheeseman commanded the role’s wide-ranging vocal and dramatic compass—from raging at the roadblocks Ottavia and Seneca throw in his way to swooning at his lover’s demanding charms.
As Poppea, Greer Davis was a bewitching young seductress on the make, her light soprano warming up after a slightly uneasy beginning. Although they might not have always had the ideal blend for the numerous rapturous duets, their powerful erotic connection held the evening’s focus.
Their chief impediment, Katherine Howell’s Ottavia was more comfortable as the rejected wife mourning her fate than as the spiteful virago demanding Ottone kill her rival; her finely sustained farewell to Rome was one of the evening’s high points. As her advisor Hans Tashjian easily commanded the stage, not only because he was more than a head taller than anyone else. Seneca’s droning pronouncements often rub me the wrong way, but Tashjian’s astonishingly mature bass for once made them compelling and his commanded suicide proved genuinely moving.
Ottone, Poppea’s cast-off lover who becomes Ottavia’s hapless pawn, can sometimes come across as a sap but countertenor Jeffrey Mandelbaum movingly charted his fraught journey to eventual redemption. Although his voice eventually warmed up after a rocky start, it’s not an inviting sound. As the gullible but steadfast Drusilla, Rachel Barker’s appealing vocal and personal warmth made Ottone’s eventual capitulation to her devotion an inevitability.
Doubling Arnalta (often done by a tenor in drag) and Nutrice, Melissa Kelly cannily differentiated the rather similar roles of the two nurses, but too often she seemed underpowered, although Arnalta’s witty final solo of triumph revealed a more forthright (and welcome) comic verve and a punchier vocal style. Of the rest of the large cast, Noelle Arteche stood out for her sparky, street-wise Amore, and Kathleen Jasinskas’s Virtù and Valetto showed glimpses of a promisingly rich soprano.
Grossman’s spare but gratifyingly full musical edition (which added only a pair of violins to the continuo group) had relatively few cuts–one lost only a few minor gods: Pallade, Mercurio and Venere. I was surprised at the inclusion of two rarely heard scenes: a long monologue for Ottone before his confrontation with Ottavia which I believe is included in the recent Les Arts Florissants production, as well as an extended version of the scene between Poppea and Arnalta before Ottone’s entrance disguised as Drusilla. The latter conversation provides some interesting insights into their relationship, but it ends with Arnalta making a jolly exit rather than gradually falling asleep during her ravishing lullaby; I think I prefer the traditional version.
I particularly admired that Dell’Arte staged the opera in the three acts as Monteverdi-Busenello intended instead of dividing it into two parts and putting the single intermission after Seneca’s suicide which unduly emphasizes that event. Instead, the first act ended properly with Ottone’s crushing admission that he knows he is only playing with Drusilla’s feelings since he is still obsessed with Poppea.
I took a friend to the performance had never before heard, much less seen a 17th century opera, and she was as consistently enthralled as I. The remarkable intimacy of Dell’Arte’s production was a boon—the singers and the musicians (not hidden in a pit) were so close that every musical and dramatic detail of each confrontation was absolutely immediate.
We felt ourselves returning to origins of opera as heightened speech—a goal which reached its most perfect embodiment in Poppea in 1643, the same year Monteverdi died; soon after, the primacy of showing off a singer’s virtuosity would begin to take over Italian opera. But here Monteverdi’s musical mastery makes the yards of recitative compulsively fascinating unlike in, for example, Landi’s 1631 Il Sant’Alessio. I remember squirming through the production of it brought to New York in 2007 by Les Arts Florissants—hoping in vain for a melody to appear, I thought it would never end.
Happily, five performances remain of this excellent Poppea, four with this first-night cast and a show on August 20 featuring instead a number of the covers performing the leading roles. This run presents an excellent and affordable opportunity to experience up-close one of opera’s greatest works. Just be warned: the show lasts nearly 3 and one-half hours.
And, please, Dell’Arte and the Sebastians: more 17th century works! I could imagine Cavalli’s La Calisto, for example, being a delightful choice for these young and enterprising artists.
In the meantime, Opera Omnia steps up to perform Monteverdi’s other late masterwork Il Ritorno d’Ulisse in Patria at the Baryshnikov Arts Center from September 10 to 12.

Over the last several years, more and more professional athletes across all major sports have come to embrace that extra fashion pop when it comes to their flashy gameday attire. So it should come as no surprise that in an event like the Super Bowl, players from both teams generally choose to take things up a notch under the spotlight of all spotlights.
We’ll start off appropriately with none other than Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts.

Jalen Hurts is in the building and sporting shades of love
It appears Hurts has gone with the kill-two-birds-with-one-stone approach and opted to boldly get ahead of the pack with what we’ll call “shades of Valentine’s Day,” which is right around the corner. The look certainly works for the Eagles’ indispensable QB — who was rightfully treated to a slo-mo video with music — as it gives off a truly relaxed vibe.
It’s that same, all-too-familiar feel he gives off throughout the course of any given Sunday. Because we’re pretty sure we have never seen Hurts show signs of panic during a football game, no matter the circumstances.

Patrick Mahomes strolls into Super Bowl LVII looking the part
We often hear the expression of athletes needing to “look the part,” and it’s probably gotten to the point of becoming an overused term. But boy, oh boy, did 2023 NFL MVP Patrick Mahomes arrive at the stadium looking every bit the part. And then some.
The dead-serious expression the photographer aptly caught really sets the tone. If you’re a Chiefs fan, you have to be loving every bit of what you’re seeing here. If you’re an Eagles fan? Good luck.

Travis Kelce with superhero-like entrance for Super Bowl
In the eyes of Chiefs fans, all-world tight end Travis Kelce can do no wrong. But really, when you play as well as he has — especially in the postseason — you have earned rockstar status, so you might as well act like one.
We knew Kelce would come out with guns blazing, and he did not disappoint. Now we just need to see if his ever-present pop translates to the field like it has so often in the past.

Jerick McKinnon makes entrance with superb troll job
Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon just so happened to pack an all-green Adidas x Gucci suit ahead of Super Bowl LVII against the very green Eagles. Definitely an honest coincidence here and most certainly not a full-throttled troll job. Seriously though, excellent stuff from McKinnon.

JuJu Smith-Schuster is absolutely one of a kind
If this were any NFL player other than Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster or perhaps DeAndre Hopkins, we might flinch. But in the one-of-one eyes of JuJu, this is known as just another day at the office. What a classic polarizing figure who is more than likely driving Eagles fans insane with this fit. Causing distractions is always a key component on gameday.
This one is well worth another look.
Eagles defensive star Darius Slay strays into own lane
Eagles superstar cornerback Darius Slay might look like he’s repping the New Orleans Saints, but what he has going on here simply cannot be denied. Everything matches, right down to the headphones.
This type of commitment to the black and gold from top to bottom hasn’t been seen since Drew Brees retired. Additionally, you know you’ve had a great season when the team’s social media team has chosen to pair you with Eagles royalty, Jalen Hurts.

Chiefs punter Tommy Townsend does what he pleases
When you’re the NFL’s 2022 All-Pro punter, you do what you want, when you want. It’s also important for players to remember — even when on a team as talented as the Chiefs — that you just never know when you’ll be back in the Super Bowl.
Punter Tommy Townsend appears to have taken that message to heart and forced his way into the NFL fashion conversation. It’s really the hat that does all the driving here.

Eagles players looking like champions
Take one look at this video cut of Eagles players arriving at the stadium, and it would hard to say who missed. That is, of course, with the glaring exception of All-Pro offensive lineman Lane Johnson who somehow decided his official Eagles Super Bowl LVII hoodie was the proper fit for this special moment.
Just a baffling move, although this could prove to be a great sign for Eagles fans. One of the team’s great leaders is taking a no-frills, “I’m here to win the freaking game” approach. When it comes down to it, we have no choice but to respect the decision.
Also, a special shoutout in the direction of Fletcher Cox for that all-silver suit. The dude is looking a whole lot like the shooting star he’s proven to be.

Mrs. Donna Kelce definitely still “rooting for the offense”
Leaving out the widely adored Mrs. Kelce, or “Momma Kelce,” would have been a colossal mistake. Clad in a perfectly evenly split Chiefs-Eagles jean jacket paired with sneakers (seen upon expanding the photo) that sport the respective jersey numbers of her two cookie-toting sons, Donna Kelce did not miss. What a treasure.
Here’s a great look at the back of Mrs. Kelce’s jacket. This is easily the best and most complete, wholehearted effort.
The “mom theme” has seized control of Super Bowl LVII, and we are absolutely here for it all.

Hey everyone, thanks for stopping by. We hope you enjoyed the Player’s Championship over the weekend. We sure did. Special congrats to Matt Kuchar, who really played solid all week. In today’s post, we’re sharing an independent review of the Ping i20 Driver. Let’s get to it!
Ping recently released the new G20 and i20 to rave reviews. The i20 has a unique all black look that differs from the dark gray color combination of the G20 line up, and was likely made to compete with the white trend we’ve seen of late (and be consistent with the all-black trend we’ve seen of late).
The i20 has a very impressive design with an eye catching black matte finish that reduces glare. They incorporate two tungsten weight ports on the heel and toe to help with off-centre hits. The look alone makes you want to put the club in your bag. The i20 features a traditional club head design with a deep face. Traditional when it comes to a clubface tends to be a good selling feature – so Ping has a winner here.
Similar to the i15 driver, the i20 will not be for everyone. If you are looking for a driver that is super easy to hit, you may want to try the K15 and G20 instead. The i20 is really best for players who want to have greater control on the their drives – and want the ability to shape them. We recommend that beginner stay clear of this driver. Personally, I preferred the G15 over the i15 due to the amount of forgiveness you get. The i20 on the other hand seems to have resolved this issue that its predecessor was plagued with.
I tested the i20 9.5 degree driver with a stiff Ping TFC 707 D stock shaft. The i20 delivers a mid to high ball flight. Compared to the G20 and K15, I felt the i20 is the longest driver in the Ping line up. Ping hit a home run by increasing forgiveness on off-center hits, while also maintaining a large degree of workability. The i20 delivers more consistent results than previous models. The best way to sum up the Ping i20 is a players club with added forgiveness.
If you hit the sweet spot on the i20 impact feels really solid. It starts to get a little clunky on toe and heel shots. Since we’re positioning it as a player’s driver, and feel on poor hits is a given, we don’t feel that this is a negative. Impact on the i20 is designed to produce an extremely low spin rate for longer drives. The weight of the i20 is about average, with a swing weight of D3 and a 62 gram stock shaft.
Ping may be the only company yet to offer an adjustable driver. While some believe a player’s club should have adjustable features, the Ping i20 performs consistent and proves you do not need adjustable features to produce a solid club. With that said, some players will simply not compromise on adjustability, and Ping has continued to alienate this market. The majority of the companies have different price point drivers and the i20 is Ping’s higher price point at $349. While this price is anything but outrageous, the competition is offering some degree of adjustability for the same or a slightly higher price.

I am 65 years old and have a single digit handicap. I can only say this is the best driver I have hit since I was 45 years old. I have never been a fan of ping drivers, but Ping got it right with this baby! Wow, great control, great distance, and great looks. If you want to stay in the fairway with good distance this a driver you should try. I would never have hit this driver if Ken at Golfsmith had not put this driver in my hands and I am sure glad he did!
Hey J. Oden. Thanks for your review!

The clinical value of using "metabolic syndrome" as a diagnosis has previously been debated due to different sets of conflicting and incomplete diagnostic criteria. These concerns have led the American Diabetes Association and the European Association for the Study of Diabetes to issue a joint statement identifying eight major concerns on the clinical utility of the metabolic syndrome diagnosis. The principal argument has been that when confounding factors such as obesity are accounted for, diagnosis of the metabolic syndrome has a negligible association with the risk of heart disease. http://media-cache-ec5.pinterest.com/upload/21110691974453216_0I4oS4Zs_c.jpg
Instead of an arbitrary goal to “lose weight,” talk with your doctor about a healthy weight for you. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends a weight loss goal of one to two pounds a week. That means starting off eating 500 calories less per day than what you normally eat. Then decide on what physical activity you can start in order to reach that goal. If exercising five nights a week is too hard to work into your schedule, aim for one more night than what you’re doing right now. When that fits comfortably into your schedule, add another night.
The goal of treating metabolic syndrome is to prevent the development of diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. Your doctor will first suggest lifestyle modifications such as exercising for 30 minutes most days of the week. One study showed that individuals who are physically active (30 minutes of activity at least once per week) have half the risk of developing metabolic syndrome than those who are inactive. Your doctor may also suggest eating a healthy diet to promote weight loss and normal blood cholesterol and fat levels.
The term "diabetes" or "to pass through" was first used in 230 BCE by the Greek Apollonius of Memphis. The disease was considered rare during the time of the Roman empire, with Galen commenting he had only seen two cases during his career. This is possibly due to the diet and lifestyle of the ancients, or because the clinical symptoms were observed during the advanced stage of the disease. Galen named the disease "diarrhea of the urine" (diarrhea urinosa).
This could be considered the "corollary" to #2. Doing a set of 100 barbell snatches is absurd, as technique breaks down, and the amount of weight an athlete can use is almost too trivial to even call it metabolic RESISTANCE training. Plus, it would likely take about 2-3 minutes to complete, which means that you're getting much more aerobic, even if an athlete is "working hard." My feeling is that you use your work bouts to challenge anaerobic systems, and your recovery period to condition the aerobic energy system. Let's be honest: most strength training enthusiasts care more about the aerobic system for recovery than actual aerobic exercise performance, anyway.
Pregnant women with pre-eclampsia or toxemia require rest and close monitoring by their healthcare practitioner. The only cure for pre-eclampsia is delivery of the baby. In deciding when to deliver, the healthcare practitioner will try to minimize the risk to mother and baby from pre-eclampsia while allowing the baby the maximum time to mature. The time delay must be balanced against the increasing danger of seizures and organ damage in the mother, emergency conditions that can be lethal to both the baby and the mother.
Practice relaxation or slow, deep breathing. Practice taking deep, slow breaths to help relax. There are some devices available that promote slow, deep breathing. According to the American Heart Association, device-guided breathing may be a reasonable nondrug option for lowering blood pressure, especially when anxiety accompanies high blood pressure or standard treatments aren't well-tolerated. https://www.clairekerslake.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/claire3.jpg
The distribution of adipose tissue appears to affect its role in metabolic syndrome. Fat that is visceral or intra-abdominal correlates with inflammation, whereas subcutaneous fat does not. There are a number of potential explanations for this, including experimental observations that omental fat is more resistant to insulin and may result in a higher concentration of toxic free fatty acids in the portal circulation.
It has not been contested that cardiovascular risk factors tend to cluster together; the matter of contention has been the assertion that the metabolic syndrome is anything more than the sum of its constituent parts. Phenotypic heterogeneity (for example, represented by variation in metabolic syndrome factor combinations among individuals with metabolic syndrome) has fueled that debate. However, more recent evidence suggests that common triggers (for example, excessive sugar-intake in the environment of overabundant food) can contribute to the development of multiple metabolic abnormalities at the same time, supporting the commonality of the energy utilization and storage pathways in metabolic syndrome.
When lifestyle changes aren't enough, a child take prescription medicines to treat individual risk factors. So, kids with high blood pressure might be put on antihypertension drugs. Others with high LDL cholesterol might be prescribed statins or other lipid-lowering drugs. Children with high blood sugar, who are on the brink of developing diabetes, may get medicine to decrease insulin resistance.
How to treat metabolic syndrome is controversial. Because there are several potential markers, the public health community has struggled with the decision of how best to define, diagnose and treat it. Nutritional approaches have generally been downplayed in favor of multiple medications that target the individual markers. Conventional recommendations tend to emphasize caloric restriction and reduced fat intake, even though metabolic syndrome can best be described as carbohydrate intolerance. The most effective treatment for metabolic syndrome is to control the intake of carbs, not fat. In fact, restricting dietary fat and replacing it with carbohydrate actually makes many of the problems of metabolic syndrome worse. The metabolic syndrome paradigm has therefore caused a great deal of distress—and pushback—among those advocating low-fat diets. For more on how to prevent metabolic syndrome, see How to Reduce Your Risk for Metabolic Syndrome.

Along with the increased hunger and cravings comes the metabolic slow down. This is most impacted by the hormone leptin. Less insulin exposure to the fat cell and a shrinking fat cell means the metabolic hormone leptin is reduced. Low leptin means increased hunger. Low leptin also means decreased activity of the body’s two major metabolic engines, the thyroid and the adrenal glands. So as leptin decreases, your metabolism gets the signal to stop burning energy and to start consuming it.
Hypertension is a common medical condition that often has severe consequences over the long-term. You generally would not know that you have hypertension unless you have your blood pressure checked. If you have mildly elevated levels, lifestyle adjustments may be enough to lower your blood pressure within ideal ranges. If you need medication, you may need to have some adjustments to get your dose just right, especially early on. Blood pressure management is generally effective, and most people are able to avoid the complications of hypertension with lifestyle modifications and medical management.
No magic here—MRT is just a term covering various combinations of intense, efficient cardiovascular and muscular training. MRT can involve supersets, circuits, speed, low rest and compound movements; it almost always packs a double-punch of aerobic and anaerobic work, breaking down barriers between traditional weight training and cardio. If you're sick of long rest periods and the sleepy treadmill slump, MRT might be for you.
If you're not taking a diuretic and your blood pressure remains high, talk to your doctor about adding one or replacing a drug you currently take with a diuretic. Diuretics or calcium channel blockers may work better for people of African heritage and older people than do angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors alone. A common side effect of diuretics is increased urination.
No special preparations are necessary to have your blood pressure checked. You might want to wear a short-sleeved shirt to your appointment so that the blood pressure cuff can fit around your arm properly. Avoid eating, drinking caffeinated beverages and smoking right before your test. Plan to use the toilet before having your blood pressure measured. https://www.clairekerslake.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Renew_Without-Tagline_Final_300.jpg
Doctors, pharmacists, and other health-care professionals use abbreviations, acronyms, and other terminology for instructions and information in regard to a patient's health condition, prescription drugs they are to take, or medical procedures that have been ordered. There is no approved this list of common medical abbreviations, acronyms, and terminology used by doctors and other health- care professionals. You can use this list of medical abbreviations and acronyms written by our doctors the next time you can't understand what is on your prescription package, blood test results, or medical procedure orders. Examples include:
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) resembles type 2 DM in several respects, involving a combination of relatively inadequate insulin secretion and responsiveness. It occurs in about 2–10% of all pregnancies and may improve or disappear after delivery. However, after pregnancy approximately 5–10% of women with GDM are found to have DM, most commonly type 2. GDM is fully treatable, but requires careful medical supervision throughout the pregnancy. Management may include dietary changes, blood glucose monitoring, and in some cases, insulin may be required.
While the lipid abnormalities seen with metabolic syndrome (low HDL, high LDL, and high triglycerides) respond nicely to weight loss and exercise, drug therapy is often required. Treatment should be aimed primarily at reducing LDL levels according to specific recommendations. Once reduced LDL targets are reached, efforts at reducing triglyceride levels and raising HDL levels should be made. Successful drug treatment usually requires treatment with a statin, a fibrate drug, or a combination of a statin with either niacin or a fibrate.
In type 2 diabetes (adult onset diabetes), the pancreas makes insulin, but it either doesn't produce enough, or the insulin does not work properly. Nine out of 10 people with diabetes have type 2. This type occurs most often in people who are over 40 years old but can occur even in childhood if there are risk factors present. Type 2 diabetes may sometimes be controlled with a combination of diet, weight management and exercise. However, treatment also may include oral glucose-lowering medications (taken by mouth) or insulin injections (shots).
"Secondary" diabetes refers to elevated blood sugar levels from another medical condition. Secondary diabetes may develop when the pancreatic tissue responsible for the production of insulin is destroyed by disease, such as chronic pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas by toxins like excessive alcohol), trauma, or surgical removal of the pancreas.
With Type 2 diabetes, your body doesn’t use insulin well and is unable to keep blood sugar at normal levels. Most people with diabetes—9 in 10—have type 2 diabetes. It develops over many years and is usually diagnosed in adults (though increasingly in children, teens, and young adults). You may not notice any symptoms, so it’s important to get your blood sugar tested if you’re at risk. Type 2 diabetes can be prevented or delayed with healthy lifestyle changes, such as losing weight if you’re overweight, healthy eating, and getting regular physical activity.
Hypertension occurs in around 0.2 to 3% of newborns; however, blood pressure is not measured routinely in healthy newborns. Hypertension is more common in high risk newborns. A variety of factors, such as gestational age, postconceptional age and birth weight needs to be taken into account when deciding if a blood pressure is normal in a newborn.
Prevention and treatment involve maintaining a healthy diet, regular physical exercise, a normal body weight, and avoiding use of tobacco. Control of blood pressure and maintaining proper foot care are important for people with the disease. Type 1 DM must be managed with insulin injections. Type 2 DM may be treated with medications with or without insulin. Insulin and some oral medications can cause low blood sugar. Weight loss surgery in those with obesity is sometimes an effective measure in those with type 2 DM. Gestational diabetes usually resolves after the birth of the baby.
When you have type 2 diabetes, your cells don't get enough glucose, which may cause you to lose weight. Also, if you are urinating more frequently because of uncontrolled diabetes, you may lose more calories and water, resulting in weight loss, says Daniel Einhorn, MD, medical director of the Scripps Whittier Diabetes Institute and clinical professor of medicine at the University of California in San Diego.

There was singing, shopping, and of course watermelons. The What-A-Melon festival is one of the most popular events in Shelby County. One of the organizers, Stephen Shires explains, "Shelby County, 3 things, poultry, timber and watermelons."
And today there were plenty of watermelons in downtown Center. The festival started 19 years ago because of the sweet watermelons the county is known for. And believe it or not, most of them come from two families in East Texas. "They grow watermelons all over the country and they are two are two of the worlds largest sellers and growers of watermelons of everywhere. They all originated here in Shelby County," Shires said.
The festival brings in thousands of people to the area and gives the economy a boost during the 3 day event. It also brings recognition to the local farmers. Another organizer, Chandra Atholi said, "There's a lot of farmers, undeveloped rural economy here a lot of farmers are here and watermelons is one of the products most of the farms cultivate here so it's a time for them to show off their product."

The Outer-Space Perspective on the Freedom of Information
What we can learn from the case against Assange and Wikileaks?
The idea of this session is to discuss the case against Julian Assange and Wikileaks from the outer space perspective; taking into retrospective not only the publications of Wikileaks, but also the struggle between governments and the freedom of information.
An important question to the audience will be, how the processing of information and construction of reality can be achieved and how the experience so far has led to considerable thoughts on how to get Julian out of the mess.

Is the waterproof layer GOTS Approved?
Yes! We only use materials that are non-toxic and meet the strict criteria for GOTS certification. The whole pad is GOTS certified, not just the cotton. The waterproof layer is made from medical grade urethane film and is about 5% of the total weight of the pad. It is completely non-toxic and safe. Contains no vinyl or phthalates.
Yes. The fitted border has tight elastic all the way around the perimeter.
Is the organic mattress pad crinkly/noisy/stiff?
No. The organic cotton fabrics used are very soft knits that stretch with every movement. You can literally stretch the fabric like a rubber band. Because of this flexible feel, you will not even notice that it is there!
Will this organic pad protect against bed-wetting?
Absolutely! It is fully waterproof and will protect your mattress from virtually all spills.
Is this waterproof protector pad GREENGUARD certified?
Yes! All Naturepedic products are GREENGUARD certified.
Will this organic mattress cover protect my mattress from bed bugs?
The waterproof material is impenetrable to bed bugs. However, it is a common misconception that bed bugs live exclusively in or on mattresses. So even though they can't get through the pad, there is no mattress protector or cover on Earth that can prevent bed bugs.
Is the waterproof organic protector breathable?
It is somewhat breathable due to the high "vapor transmission rate" of the material. This means that it will remain completely waterproof while allowing a small amount of water vapor through. The result is a less sweaty and more comfortable sleep.
Will the organic mattress pad material shrink in the wash?
Yes, the pad will shrink a little bit after the first wash/dry cycle. We size the material a little larger in order to account for this shrinkage.
If you put the pad on your mattress without washing it first, it will be a little loose fitting. That is why we recommend washing it before first use.

Alberta is home to the Western Canadian moose. This moose subspecies can be found anywhere from the heavily forested willow swamps to the rolling grain fields. During the rut in late September through early October, the bulls search for cows can make for an exciting hunt! A 40 inch bull is a reasonable expectation, but 50+ inch bulls are a possibility when Alberta moose hunting. The late November moose season in Alberta allows for non resident hunting, and can make a great combo hunt for mule deer or whitetail. Big bulls can often be found in bachelor groups this time of year.
We book in two different areas for clients interested in our Alberta Canada moose hunts.
- Our favorite moose hunt in Alberta is located in in a remote Northern boreal forest area which is isolated and very hard to access, thus making the trophy moose hunting amazing.
- The other area is with a great outfitter in the Peace River Region which we refer to as our “Alberta farmland moose hunt.” The only problem with this hunt in the Peace River area is that he only offers three to four hunts per year, and is thus booked years in advance.
If you’re interested in trophy Alberta Canada moose hunts, this is the one.
One of our best Alberta Canada moose hunts, you’ll hunt from a remote camp accessed via Argos, and/or snow machines if there is snow. This area is incredibly remote and hard to access, so bulls are growing to a mature age. There is virtually no hunting pressure other than our hunting clients. Early season rut hunts are concentrated near lakes and creeks with calling being the preferred method.
After you have taken your moose, a black bear can be added for a nominal fee, and having a wolf tag is encouraged. No fee for a wolf. There are also plenty of pike in the river.
- Hunting season is mid-September through November.
- Average bull size is 40 to 50 inches, with the possibility of better bulls.
- Archery hunters are welcome.
- Add a black bear to your hunt.
- Wolf and fishing licenses are included.
- Camps are modern with hot showers, cooks and camp helpers.
This Alberta farmland moose hunt gives hunters an excellent chance for hunters to harvest a good bull for a great price.
This hunt is not known for its excessive difficulty, in fact this hunt is fairly easy. You’ll typically spot bulls in the fields from the road, and then stalk into shooting range to harvest the bull. If you’re looking for a hardcore hunt this is not the hunt for you. However, if you are looking for a high success moose hunt with an excellent guide, then this hunt would work well for you!
- This is an “easy” Alberta farmland moose hunt in the Canola and oat fields of the Peace River Region.
- Moose hunting in the Peace River area is getting better every year. Success rates are high with opportunity being 100%.
- Spot and stalk.
- Guiding is all done 1×1.
- 5 Day hunt.
- Archery hunts are from late August to early September.
- Rifle hunts are from late September to early October.

Music is my passion—having been a flute player for eight years as well as a member of an orchestra or band for six, my ongoing adventure into more advanced musical compositions is a source of great joy in my life. My orchestra director ceaselessly searches for challenging pieces, those that will challenge even the best players in the orchestra.
When I started playing the flute in second grade, I did not know that I would soon fall in love with its shape, its tonal quality, and its intricacies. I started taking lessons simply because my cousin, then in eighth grade, had played the flute. My flute teacher was a passionate flute player; she always came to class ready to teach, ready to spark the expressiveness and emotion in my playing. My mother, who was not very knowledgeable about music at first, became more and more interested in the flute as my playing improved over time. Through the years, she has been a great source of support and inspiration. Thanks to my teacher and my mother, it was only a matter of time before I became a somewhat acknowledged flutist (at least in my school and in my community).
Before fifth grade, the only ensembles I had been a part of were relatively small, typically composed of me playing the flute and my teacher as my piano accompanist. When I first started playing in a band (wind ensemble) in fifth grade, I did not understand the importance of listening to the other sections, nor did I think about balance and harmony among all of the instruments in the band. Many of my fellow classmates also struggled with this issue.
It was in sixth grade that I finally began to understand the importance of playing as a group, as a bigger ensemble. I was chosen by the band director to be the principal flutist of the band—it was my first-ever major “responsibility,” and I felt the necessity to take on leadership of the band. I started paying attention to the sound of the band as a whole rather than to my own sound or to the sounds of those students sitting very close to me. Band became a team effort for me and my classmates, and I felt immensely proud to be a part of this talented group and to play a key role in its success.
This experience of being a part of an ensemble was what really triggered my love for the flute. I fell in love with the way in which my instrument’s sound could not blend in so beautifully with the other wind and brass instruments, as well as how it shone in certain arrangements when it played a prominent role or was a featured solo. Performing with ensembles has certainly been a way for me to communicate with those who share similar musical interests and capabilities.
Although I am not planning to become a professional musician, I believe that playing music has helped me in many other areas. First, it has helped me to increase my concentration span. When I first started playing the flute, I had a difficult time sitting down and practicing for a good hour—the longest I could rehearse for alone was about fifteen minutes. After fifteen minutes of practicing, I would have to look at my phone, talk to my mother, or daydream about something else. However, the more I practiced with my teacher, and the more challenging my pieces became, the more I realized the need for practicing for longer periods of time. Now, I can practice alone for two hours straight without stopping or getting distracted—I bet I could practice even longer if I had the time to do so. This has not only enhanced my skills on the flute, but also has enhanced my concentration span for studying and completing homework. After my concentration span on the flute became longer, I noticed that I could sit in my chair in my room and study for longer periods of time than I could before.
Second, I overcame my stage fright. When I was younger, I had a terrible fear of being on stage, and performing on stage. However, when I first learned to play the flute, my mother forced me to perform at my school’s annual talent show. I was forced to go up there on stage with my flute teacher and perform. During one of my first experiences on stage, I could not see anything nor hear anything. Even before I got on stage, I was trembling in fear and anxiety, and was perspiring. As I climbed up onto the stage and faced the monstrous crowd all staring at me, the strength in my legs was gone and I felt the urgent need to cry. Yet, I was standing in front of all my classmates and their parents—I could not embarrass myself now. I could not let my mother down. She had worked so hard to persuade me to stand up on this stage, to practice, to dress up. I could not let my flute teacher down, who had worked so hard to ensure that I had perfected the piece, that I knew how to expressively perform this piece. So, I mustered up all the courage left from every little part of my body and played the flute. No, I cannot remember whether I did a good job, or whether I was able to perform as well as I had rehearsed the piece. However, I knew I had not let my mother or my flute teacher down because I had successfully played without crying, without running offstage in the middle of the performance. That is what really mattered.


MOREHEAD CITY, N.C. (WNCN) — A baby whale, not much more than 10 feet in length, was found by beachgoers at Emerald Isle on October 30.
The calf was a Gervais’ beaked whale, which experts say are large, deep diving marine mammals that are very rare to spot as their normal habitat is at or beyond the edge of the continental shelf.
When the calf at Emerald Isle was found, it was in shallow water and was reported to the NC Marine Mammal Stranding Network. The responders confirmed the calf had expired and that it was a 10 foot, nine-inch female.
With the assistance of helpful beach goers, members of the police and public works departments, the calf was removed from the water and transported to Morehead City. After being chilled overnight, it was examined at the NC State University (NCSU) Center for Marine Sciences and Technology where a necropsy was preformed.
In addition to marine mammal scientists and veterinarians, students also participated in the analysis from NC State University, UNC Wilmington, Duke University, UNC Chapel Hill, and the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries, among others.
Everything appeared normal in the necropsy until they reached the whale’s stomach.
In addition to some milk, which indicated the female was a nursing calf, a balloon in the shape of a pentagon was discovered. It was crumpled up, the experts said, and was obstructing the gastrointestinal tract. Because of this find, the determined cause of death was ingestion of plastic.
According to a statement from the center, roughly 125 marine mammals are stranded each year on North Carolina’s beaches, including whales, dolphins, seals, manatees and porpoises. While some die from natural causes, others fall victim to human interaction, such as fish net entanglement, boat strikes and consuming plastic.
On its Facebook page Wednesday, the center put out a plea to the public to make the switch to plastic alternatives when celebrating.
“Before purchasing balloons to commemorate important life events (whether they are latex or Mylar), please consider using biodegradable alternatives instead,” the post said. “Though people often release balloons to remember and honor loved ones, we urge people to consider other methods.”
As a recommended alternative, the center said biodegradable paper decorations are more eco-friendly and often less expensive. In addition to balloon alternatives, people can also consider lighting a candle or scattering flower petals to commemorate and honor loved ones instead.
If balloons are used, whether latex or Mylar, the center said to dispose of them properly and carefully and to make sure all gases are removed to avoid them getting loose.
When loose, they pose an “unnecessary danger to wildlife,” which can cause animals—like the rare beaked whale—to starve and perish over time.


Edo Election Matters: Obaseki Vows To Provide 200,000 Jobs If Voted In
The citizens of Edo state have been promised a reward of 200,000 jobs if they vote for Godwin Obaseki, the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state. According to Vanguard, Obaseki made this known during the flag off of his campaign at the Samuel Ogbemudia stadium, Benin on Saturday, July 16. Obaseki, during the campaign, also informed that his administration would focus on job creation, entrepreneurship and industrialisation, if he gets into power.
He noted that agriculture and skills acquisition would form bulk of the job creation channels, with agriculture, especially, moving from subsistence to commercial. While pledging that his administration would make Edo the ‘food basket’ of the nation, Obaseki stated that availability of power and entrepreneurship will become a way of life for the people of the state. Obaseki also informed categorically that women empowerment would be paid special attention to, as some investments training specifically tailored for women would be embarked upon. While introducing him earlier, incumbent governor, Adams Oshiomhole, informed that the APC in Edo converged in the state to present their agenda which would consolidate on what he started in the state. The governor also harped on the importance of handing over to another competent hand who will continue with the party’s work, and encouraged citizens of the state to rededicate themselves to the aspiration of the candidate. During the campaign, some defectors to the APC were received by Chief John Oyegun, the national chairman of the party, who also presented Obaseki to the people.


This technicolor dress is a wrap-front cut look all the more fluid. The all-over sequins give you that party-ready vibe and on second thought, a pair of mules heels would look perfect with this dress.
- Crossover V-neck with concealed closure.
- Long sleeves with diamante button cuffs.
- Fitted waist.
- Lined: 100% polyester
- In rainbow stripes
- Fabric: 100% polyester

| Ana88 chapter 18 . 7/20
This story is amaizing, can't wait for a new chapter.
| jane chapter 18 . 5/13
This story is s great! The plot is good, but what really gets me is the characterization. I think your characterization of Rashel and Quinn is the best i've seen in a night world fic. Many Quinn/Rashel fics I've seen portray Rashel as this emotionless badass or Quinn as a total overly-romantic softie. Like, of course quinn will grow softer after the Chosen and show more emotion, but that doesn't mean he just magically turns into a sappy gushy romantic like I see in some fics! You keep their personalities consistent with what we saw in the book, with a growing softness, but you don't lose that sometimes darker, sarcastic edge and I love that! I can't explain it well, but the characters (even the secondary ones like Ash or Thierry!) seem pulled right out of the real books! It's totally believable! bad characterization can kill a fic but yours is A!
| Guest chapter 18 . 5/13
This story is so good! Really seems like the continuation of the book! It's hard to find good quality fanfics and tbh this is the only one I found for Quinn and Rashel! Don't want to rush you, but please keep this story going when you have the time! :)
| GirlBiggsee chapter 18 . 5/7
Oh my god! I cannot quite out into words how absolutely fantastic this sort is. Saying that just doesn't do it justice. This whole time I honestly felt like I was reading at chapters after chapters of L.J. Smiths books. You've have done an amazingly incredible job and honestly, this seems like something to be published. Truly I can't tell you how wonderful it is, and I really can't wait for all the chapters to come.
| Guest chapter 18 . 4/12
Are you going to continue this story? I really like it, update soon!
| David Fishwick chapter 18 . 2/26
Cool idea and please update soon thanks.
| Rosie chapter 18 . 9/29/2014
This story is so incredibly good! Every cheater has left me hanging. I want to see what follows after the drama that just occurred. Update asap!
| It'sSerena chapter 18 . 9/30/2014
I really like it when it's in Quinn's POV, because you write it so interestingly. I thought it was cute how he was worried for her, even though he didn't want to admit it. Rashel and Quinn always seem to be fighting or in a conflict - not an insult, just observing! - so I'll be hoping the next chapter will have some major fluff. Update sooooon!
| WonderYears chapter 18 . 9/29/2014
It was really interesting to see Quinn hunt an animal for the first time, in the beginning of this chapter. Just a small thing that adds to the brilliance of the story. Overall, great update. I liked seeing Quinn worry for her. The romantic and sexual tension at the end of the chapter does well for a cliff hanger, so update soon! I want to see what happens next!
| Guest chapter 18 . 9/27/2014
Can u do a lemon in Quinn's pov
| HalfEvilInside333 chapter 18 . 9/29/2014
What a lovely chapter. You always do a fantastic job at writing these characters and the situations in which they go through. These situations you make in the first place are interesting themselves. I'm anxious to see their relationship grow. Update soon!
| The Crystal Rose chapter 18 . 9/28/2014
God, I absolutely love your Rashel/Quinn moments! They are always so intense and the sexual tension between those two is through the roof. I love how you write them and the conflicts they go through. I am so glad you updated, I've been waiting ever so patiently for this installment and I will be waiting for the next just as patiently (lol). Update soon! A good Rashel/Quinn story is hard to come across and you do a fantastic job!
| lamia vampress chapter 18 . 9/27/2014
You writing is always seemingly impeccable. The flow of it is so easy to get lost into. This chapter was interesting, but there were just a few minor things. I feel as if Quinn shouldn't be so stubborn on admitting his feelings for her, or hate it when he rarely does it. It seems like he doesn't want to love or care for her, or even be with her. He had a ruthless past of not-feeling, yes, but the soulmate principal is a powerful and intense connection that can overpower a lot of things. Especially if they've slept together, because they had that connection, he should be a bit softer. But that's my personal opinion, more so than instructive criticism. You're writing itself is flawless, it's just your grip on the characters that wavers sometimes. But I guess that's all based on perspective.
Just wondering - are you ever going to write another scene?
Anyway, I really want to see where you take this story and how you end it. Update soon (:
| lizzyhearts chapter 18 . 9/27/2014
WHY THE CLIFFHANGER?! ALL THAT TENSION UP IN THERE! Thank you for updating! I still love this story to the very end :)
KEEP CALM AND WRITE ON!
| JasmineDragon22 chapter 17 . 7/24/2014
Yeah update! And a good follow up chapter. I love how you integrate all the characters.

A hammertoe is a toe deformity that causes a toe to bend downward at the middle joint, creating a hammer-like or claw-like appearance. This can cause discomfort as the affected toes rubs against the shoes while walking. Hammertoes may become painful, stiff, and restricted in their range of motion if left untreated. While there are many conservative treatments for hammertoes, surgery may be needed for more severe cases. There are two main types of hammertoe surgery. In a fusion surgery, the surgeon cuts the ligaments, tendons, and the ends of the bones that form the middle joint of the hammertoe in order to straighten it. Pins and screws are then used to help the cut bones fuse together. In a joint resection surgery, the surgeon may also cut the ligaments and tendons, as well as the end of one bone, so that the toe can be straightened. To learn more about treatment for hammertoes, please consult with a podiatrist.
Hammertoe is a foot deformity that affects the joints of the second, third, fourth, or fifth toes of your feet. It is a painful foot condition in which these toes curl and arch up, which can often lead to pain when wearing footwear.
Genetics – People who are genetically predisposed to hammertoe are often more susceptible
Arthritis – Because arthritis affects the joints in your toes, further deformities stemming from arthritis can occur
Trauma – Direct trauma to the toes could potentially lead to hammertoe
Ill-fitting shoes – Undue pressure on the front of the toes from ill-fitting shoes can potentially lead to the development of hammertoe
Orthotics – Custom made inserts can be used to help relieve pressure placed on the toes and therefore relieve some of the pain associated with it
Medications – Oral medications such as anti-inflammatories or NSAIDs could be used to treat the pain and inflammation hammertoes causes. Injections of corticosteroids are also sometimes used
Surgery – In more severe cases where the hammertoes have become more rigid, foot surgery is a potential option
