We Manage Rentals in Eldersburg & Skyesville

Partner with our team and we'll take care of everything else

Eldersburg & Skyesville Property Management

Eldersburg and Skyesville are two small communities that sit side-by-side in Carroll County. Eldersburg is officially an unincorporated area, though many think of it as a town in and of itself. Skyesville, on the other hand, is a small town. Together, the two destinations have a combined population of approximately 35,000 local residents.

These suburbs sit approximately 30 miles from downtown Baltimore, making the area a popular destination for working professionals and families. Between them, Eldersburg and Skyesville count several historic sites and a smattering of different businesses. The area is also known for having a strong local school system and great public amenities. In Eldersburg, such services are provided by the county, whereas Skyesville has a local city government that serves the local community.

Projecting Growth in Suburban Maryland

In recent years, Carroll County has seen its population grow rapidly, with over 40,000 new residents moving to the area over the past two decades. This growth mirrors trends seen elsewhere in the state of Maryland. Rentals in Eldersburg and Skyesville form a pivotal part of the local housing market, offering options for residents looking for a place to call home.

Of course, owning a rental home in Skyesville or in Eldersburg comes with a number of important responsibilities. From marketing the home to screening applicants, drafting leases, and handling ongoing maintenance concerns, taking care of a rental can quickly become a full-time job. If you own local real estate, why not consider partnering with a trusted real estate firm?

Liver health and detoxification 2016 [Mini Guide]

Now more than ever, Americans are proactively managing their own health. They’re consuming the proper nutrients to protect their brains, hearts, guts and joints. They’re turning to nutraceuticals to support both condition-specific needs and whole-body wellness in attempt to stave off disease. And yet, compared to other key body parts everyone is now intent on safeguarding, the liver still gets less love.

For now, the U.S. market for liver support and detoxification products is still small compared to that of other condition-specific supplements; the category is valued at $122 million, according to the most recent estimates, and there is still a lot of opportunity for growth.

In this guide, discover the common and not-so-common ingredients being used to promote better liver health.

Share The Wealth by Chris Gupta

Brain tumor linked to liver transplant

Another good reason to keep away from invasive procedures such as surgery! This is particularly sad as liver can be revived using electromedicine and certain herbs.

Chris Gupta

Brain tumor linked to liver transplant

NEW YORK, Jul 06 (Reuters) -- Since brain malignancies seldom spread to other parts of the body, most experts agree that the organs of patients who died due to a brain tumor can be safely donated to patients in need.

However, a report in this week's issue of The Lancet describes a case of fatal brain tumor, apparently transmitted from donor to recipient through liver transplant.

The report "justifies caution with and further investigation of the use of patients with brain tumors as organ donors," conclude Drs. Patrick Healey and Connie Davis of the University of Washington Medical Center in Seattle.

Their commentary accompanies a report by researchers at the Technical University of Dresden, in Germany.

The German team report the case of a 47-year-old liver donor who died after developing glioblastoma multiforme, an incurable, lethal form of brain tumor. An autopsy performed soon after the patient's death revealed no apparent sign of cancer spread.

The patient's liver was subsequently transplanted into the body of a 29-year-old recipient. The researchers say the recipient developed cancers at various sites (including the brain) soon after the transplant, and died about 5 months later.

After conducting DNA and laboratory testing, the investigators concluded that all of the recipient's cancers were "donor-related."

In their editorial, Healey and Davis note that about 1% of all transplanted organs originate in donors who have succumbed to some form of brain tumor. They explain that since only a very small minority of all brain tumors ever spread to other body areas, "the policy of the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) in the USA is that...(most types of) brain tumours are acceptable in an organ donor."

Healey and Davis believe the possibility of a small risk of transplant-related cancers must be weighed against the fact that nearly 1,000 patients die each year while waiting for transplant. "There are too few organs for transplantation for 1% of the liver-donor pool, as well as 1% of the total organ-donor pool, to be dispensed with," the Seattle authors conclude.

They suggest that livers procured from deceased brain cancer patients be offered first to "those (individuals) who would die without an immediate transplant."

Responding to the issue, UNOS has recently set up a special computerized database aimed at tracking cancer incidence (and therefore, risk) among US organ recipients. SOURCE: The Lancet 1998;352:2-3, 31.

Peace Love and Kayla
i love guys in skinny jeans Pictures, Images and Photos

im one in a million
this is the story of a girl;
I love...Jesus, chocolate, ice cream, basketball, the Titanic (the actual ship, not the movie), texting, my laptop, ZoeCity, my friends, TV, movies, volunteering (I'm in a group called CHATA that is all about kids volunteering), reading, writing (I write stories, as well as my own music), guitar, piano, and sleeping over with friends and staying up all night and laughing my head off over really stupid stuff! LOL. My friends I have totally crazy inside jokes ("22w" and "Monday Night Football"; don't ask). I am sometimes shy, but usually not. I LOVE to meet new people and make new friends, and I'm really loud and crazy for the most part...except not around adults! My basketball team rocks; we're all really close and love each other; currently I am #41. I go to Berean Baptist Church (BBC) and it's totally awesome! All the Jr. High students there rock! Drama is totally my thing; I am a huge drama queen sometimes. I talk a lot, and probably get really annoying (my friend's brother says I really scare him and sometimes he thinks I'm on drugs 'cuz I get EXTREMELY hyper sometimes) and I text continuously for hours. I <3 all my BFFs to death! I am so awesome, and I'm so cute! (Not really, but I'm trying to be nice to myself.) My life ambition/goal is to be a songwriter/singer or a fashion designer or to be in the broadway production of either Hairspray or Wicked. My real name is Kayla, but I'm trying to get the nickname KayKay hooked, so you can call me that if you want, okay? So, yeah, did I mention I homeschool? (And I'm probably smarter than you, lol!) So, yeah, and anyway, that's pretty much it, so for now, peace out, luv ya, and 22-wide 4eva!

Global Alumina Releases Third Quarter 2011 Results

TORONTO, Nov. 11, 2011 /CNW/ -- Global Alumina Corporation (TSX: GLA.U) (the "Company" or "Global Alumina"), a corporation participating in a joint venture to develop an alumina refinery, mine and associated infrastructure in the bauxite-rich region of the Republic of Guinea (the "Project"), announced today its financial and operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011. The text of the quarterly unaudited financial statements and management's discussion and analysis can be viewed or printed from the Company's SEDAR reference page at All dollar amounts are in U.S. dollars.

    Third Quarter 2011 Financial Highlights
    --  In the first nine months of 2011, the joint venture partners
        contributed capital of $40.5 million towards the approved Project
        budget with the Company contributing its $13.5 million one-third
    --  At September 30, 2011, Guinea Alumina Corporation, Ltd. (the joint
        venture company) had capitalized into construction in progress
        approximately $682.1 million, of which approximately $14.3 million
        relates to the third quarter 2011.
    --  As at September 30, 2011, the Company had unrestricted cash of $7.0
        million and $21.2 million in its escrow account to fund future Project
        capital calls.
    --  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively,
        the Company reported a net loss of $1,144,090 ($0.01 per share) and
        $3,343,206 ($0.02 per share), compared to a net loss of $1,029,567
        ($0.01 per share) and $2,930,823 ($0.02 per share) for the same
        in 2010.
    --  Interest income for the quarter was $19,579 versus $30,022 in the
        quarter of 2010.

At usage rates that the Company currently expects in 2012, funds in escrow will be sufficient to meet its one-third share of Project equity requirements through December 2012, and unrestricted funds will be sufficient to enable it to meet its corporate operating expense requirements through June 2013.

    About Global Alumina

    Forward Looking Information

Certain information in this press release is "forward looking information", which reflects management's expectations regarding the Company's future growth, results of operations, performance and business prospects and opportunities. In this release, the words "may", "would", "could", "should", "will", "intend", "plan", "anticipate", "believe", "seek", "propose", "estimate" and "expect" and similar expressions, as they relate to the Company and its assets and interests, are often, but not always, used to identify forward looking information. Such forward looking information reflects management's current beliefs and is based on information currently available to management. Forward looking information involves significant risks and uncertainties, should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of whether or not or the times at, or by which, such performance or results will be achieved. In particular, this release contains forward looking information pertaining to the following: the decisions of the joint venture with respect to the conduct of the Project; the approval of the proposed development plan with respect to the Project and the making of a decision by the joint venture partners to proceed with the development of the Project; the adequacy of the Company's cash resources; expectations regarding the financing of the Project, the terms, timing and amount of financing and the sources of financing for the Project; the amount, nature and timing of capital expenditures to complete the Project; the timing of refinery construction and mine start up; future production levels; expectations regarding the negotiation of contractual rights; prices for alumina and aluminium; operating and other costs; recognition by the new political regime in Guinea of historical agreements negotiated by the previous government; and general business strategies and plans of management with respect to the Project. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward looking information, including, but not limited to: the inability of the Corporation to fund its on-going expenses pending a sale of the Corporation; recent political events in Guinea and the transition to a new government and the policies of such new government; the current political and economic risks of investing in a developing country; a decision by the joint venture partners to proceed with the Project; material changes to the cost estimates and time estimates for development of the Project; unanticipated liabilities of Global Alumina at the corporate level and the inability of the Company to obtain additional financing to fund corporate expenses; the possibility that the value of the Company's assets could deteriorate; operational risks such as access to infrastructure and skilled labour; the limited control by the Company of the assets and operations of the Project and its inability to make major decisions with respect to the Project without agreement from the other joint venture partners; the failure or delay in obtaining debt financing for the Project; the amount of debt financing available to the Project being insufficient to fund the Project to complete development; the inability of the Company to raise sufficient financing to fund its share of the development costs of the Project in excess of the maximum Project debt financing; the Company's dependence on an interest in a single asset; the possible forfeiture of the 690 square kilometre mining concession area near Sangaredi in certain circumstances; construction risks such as cost overruns, delays and shortages of labour, materials or equipment; the possibility that the Company's interest will be diluted if it is unable to meet a capital call with respect to the Project; currency fluctuations; price volatility of alumina, aluminium or raw materials and certain other factors related to the Project and the factors related to the business of the Company discussed under the heading "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Information Form.

The forward looking information contained in this release is based on the following principal assumptions: that the data, estimates and projections in the bankable feasibility study of the Project are within the range of accuracy suggested therein and the conclusions reached therein are still valid as of the date of this release; that general economic and political conditions will not be adverse to the completion of financing for the Project and will have no material adverse impact on the Project; that once the decision is made to proceed with the Project, the Company will be sold or will sell its interest in the Project prior to a decision to proceed wit the Project being approved; that the negotiations with prospective Project lenders and between the prospective Project lenders and the Guinean government will resume and be successfully concluded; that the bidding process for contracted work in connection with the Project will be completed in a competitive manner and that actual costs to complete work will be within the range of quotes provided by contractors to date; that the joint venture will be able to acquire necessary labour at currently assumed labour costs and productivity rates; that once approved the development plan for the Project is conducted according to schedule; that general economic factors and trends relating to construction costs remain constant or improve and that the future political and economic climate in Guinea has no material adverse effect on the Project and the new political regime arising from the transition to a new government continues to recognize agreements negotiated by the previous government.

OPSEU will not participate in the 2011 OFL convention this week

TORONTO, Nov. 21, 2011 /CNW/ - The Ontario Public Service Employees Union will not attend this week's convention of the Ontario Federation of Labour in Toronto, the president of OPSEU announced today.

At a recent meeting of its executive board the union voted overwhelmingly to withdraw its support from the OFL. Several other unions, including the Ontario Nurses Association and the Service Employees International Union (Local 100), have taken similar action.

While OPSEU's action is significant the union's president Warren (Smokey) Thomas said the decision remains an internal OFL matter of concern primarily to the Federation and its affiliates.

"Various labour leaders involved know why the situation has reached this point. Like any family, the labour movement has strong personalities which can lead to strong differences," said Thomas.

The OPSEU president said he still believes Ontario's unions can continue to work together to deal with those issues most important to working people and their communities, such as the growing income inequality, job creation and maintaining strong public services.

"The fact that government chooses to implement corporate tax cuts instead of creating jobs to build a strong economy, and the fact that government has failed to fulfill its promise to rebuild public services means the importance of organized labour in Ontario is greater than ever," said Thomas.

"OPSEU is focused on these matters as it continues to work with other unions and community groups to build a unified voice and equally powerful campaign to address these challenges. For all of us the key question remains: What kind of Ontario do we want?"

Deere emphasizes importance of precision agriculture despite termination of acquisition

MOLINE, Ill., May 1, 2017 /CNW/ -- Deere & Company (NYSE: DE) announced it was informed by Monsanto Company that it has chosen to terminate a 2015 agreement for Deere to acquire the Precision Planting LLC business.

"We are deeply disappointed in this outcome as we remain confident the acquisition would have benefited customers," said John May, President, Agricultural Solutions and Chief Information Officer.

In 2016, the U.S. Department of Justice brought legal action in an attempt to block the transaction. Deere and Monsanto were prepared to present their case for approval of the acquisition later this year. May said, "With an opportunity to see this to conclusion, we believe it would have been clear the challenge to the transaction was based on flawed assessments of the marketplace."

Two agreements related to Deere's purchase of Precision Planting will also be terminated, including the digital collaboration agreement between Deere and The Climate Corporation, a division of Monsanto. Also ending is an agreement that would have allowed Ag Leader to expand access to and distribution of certain Precision Planting products and technologies.

"As a world leader in precision agriculture, John Deere will continue developing technology-based products and services to help customers improve the productivity and profitability of their operations," May said.

He added that Deere will remain focused on enabling customers to efficiently leverage their data to drive better decisions on their farms through the John Deere Operations Center, which includes nearly 75 connected software tools with the total continuing to increase.

Deere & Company is a world leader in providing advanced products and services and is committed to the success of customers whose work is linked to the land – those who cultivate, harvest, transform, enrich and build upon the land to meet the world's dramatically increasing need for food, fuel, shelter and infrastructure. Since 1837, John Deere has delivered innovative products of superior quality built on a tradition of integrity. For more information, visit

Mindready Solutions Responds to Allegations from a Former Executive

    MONTREAL, Oct. 23 /CNW Telbec/ - In response to allegations made by
former company executive Marc Lamy, which were reported by some media outlets
on October 19th, Mindready Solutions Inc. (TSX: MNY) must re-establish the
facts that led to his suspension and resignation.
    As stated in the Mindready Solutions' (hereafter "Mindready") challenge
in the Superior Court, which opposed the request for a safeguard order
submitted by Mr. Lamy, very serious and regrettable reasons led to Mr. Lamy's
suspension on August 4, 2007 to allow the Board of Directors to conduct an
inquiry. Mr. Lamy tendered his resignation on August 5, 2007 following the
suspension. A new management team was then formed, as announced on August 9th
in a news release. Mindready believes that if Mr. Lamy had not resigned his
position, the company would have had reasonable and valid reasons to terminate
his employment.
    As regards the safeguard order rendered by the Honourable Chantale
Corriveau October 11th, Mindready intends to appeal and make a claim in the
courts for all damages caused to the company by Mr. Lamy.

Taking Back America
By Paul Cappadona

This book could change politics forever! A must read for every voter, every
American. Good government and Christianity go hand-in-hand and there is no
separation of church and state except in regards to establishing one
domination above another. It is the state that needs to be taken out of the
church and separated for the state is the thing which must be feared.

I will not allow myself to be a Juror unless I am certain that I can protect
the rights of the innocent as well as proclaiming the guilt of the criminal.
I will remember that when I take my jury oath, I become the Judge and the Judge
becomes the mediator.

Valetine's Rewind Banner

Welcome to a week of celebrating Valentine’s Day with some romantic glimpses at characters you know and love. Aside from the sweet and/or sexy snippets, make sure to stop along the way to enter the various giveaways! (Full schedule HERE)

With the release of ALL I AM this month, I wanted to hang out in my Farmers’ Market world a little bit. In ALL I HAVE, Mia and Dell fell in love as rivals at the farmers’ market. In ALL I AM, readers get a glimpse of Mia and Dell’s wedding, and in ALL I WANT, which will be coming out in September, readers will get to see Mia and Dell and their ever-growing family.

So, it felt right to show a little glimpse into the first step to that over-growing family part. (Okay, maybe not FIRST step. This is completely SFW ;))

Mia Wainwright pulled her truck to a stop outside of the little cabin that had become home. Pruitt  Morning Sun Farms, at least part of it, stretched out around the cabin under a light winter snow.

The sun was setting to the West, one of those riotous winter sunsets. Vibrant orange and pink slashed across the horizon. It was the kind of sight that reminded her that every season had its function, and she loved them each for different reasons.

She liked the hush and still of winter. Considering they kept winter crops, and high tunnels to keep the CSA going through the winter, it wasn’t exactly an off-season. But she liked that it wasn’t quite as busy as the spring and summer. She liked that there were days to rest, and days to bask. Today was going to be a basking day.

Valentine’s Day was a little cheesy. And neither her nor Dell were very cheesy. But she couldn’t resist. Not when this was something that she always wanted to remember.

She hopped out of her truck, not wanting to bask alone when she could bask with Dell.

She hurried up the crooked stone walkway and smiled remembering the first time she had walked up it. Back when her husband was her enemy, and she been about to give him a piece of her mind.

There were still many occasions when she gave the man a piece of her mind, but these days they got to end any and all arguments with really, really great sex.

She pushed open the door and stepped inside. “Sorry I’m late,” she called into the cozy interior. “Cara made me try approximately thirty-five different kind of pie filling. She is being the largest Bridezilla I’ve ever…” Mia trailed off at the site of flowers. Not just one bouquet, but little ones…everywhere.

Tiny vases lined the mantle. Every end table and the dining room table had a scattering of equally tiny vases and equally tiny bouquets. Dell could be sweet, and it wasn’t the first time he’d bought her flowers, but this was… Well, this was downright swoony romantic.

She was already a little teary thinking about everything, but this? This nearly pushed her over the edge. And she really didn’t want to cry. Not yet. “I hope you didn’t blow the entire tractor savings on these…” She trailed off, still not catching sight of her husband. “…beautiful, amazing flowers,” she murmured, touching the soft petal of one.

She moved into the kitchen and Dell was standing there frowning into the oven. She stood at the opening to the kitchen and admired her far too handsome husband.

He hadn’t shaved in a few days and the golden glint of his blonde whiskers gave that hard, square jaw appealing stubble. His shoulders and gloriously muscled arms were well showcased in a black T-shirt.

She knew he was trying to be romantic because, aside from the flowers of course, he had the T-shirt tucked into a pair of jeans. His nicest pair, the ones that didn’t have holes or grass stains.

She sighed happily, her heart turning over in one slow, delicious roll. Because he was hers. Hers to have and to hold—hers to run her fingers over his abs later. After she told him.

“Well, I ruined dinner,” he offered, still scowling at the oven. “I’m pretty sure it’s smoking.”

“Then let me suggest pulling it out. Why on earth are you trying to cook?”

He looked over at her, smiling as those sparkling green eyes took her in. Like he could devour her in one bite, and she’d never, ever get tired of that particular smile.

“I am partaking in the romance of Valentine’s Day, my sweet wife.”

“Are you ill? Did you fall and hit your head? Do you have amnesia?”

“Ah, my little comedienne. Last time I checked I did not reside in a soap opera.” He pulled the smoking—because, yes, it was actually smoking—roast out of the oven. They both frowned quizzically at it.

“How long did you leave it in there?”

“Apparently long. Good thing I thought to have a backup.” He moved to the fridge, giving her an absent kiss on the forehead.

It was things like that, when she was feeling particularly sappy, that really got to her. The casual, absent to sort of natural displays of affection that he gave so easily.

It was scary to love someone this much. And to be this happy with it. Because every time they had a fight, it tore her up inside. Every time she thought of losing him, because she had enough of her mother’s anxiety in her for those thoughts to crop up, it ate her soul. Love, deep, abiding love was certainly hard, and marriage was hard work. A constant challenge to meld her life with someone else’s, to communicate needs and hurts.

But she tried to remember in these moments that it was worth it. Any anger or hurt or fear was always worth it, because there were moments like this. Because he was hers. And because they had a future. No matter what challenges lie ahead, weather ones, livestock ones, emotional ones, or physical ones, they would find a way to come together and face them.

That belief, that certainty, that was love.

Dell pulled a pan of lasagna out of the fridge with a silly flourish. “We can thank my mother later.”

Mia put a hand to her suddenly roiling stomach. “Ugh, Cara’s pie barrage is hitting me a little hard.”

Dell looked at her quizzically, she supposed because they had been trying for a while. Enough of a while that it was starting to be a little bit of a concern that she hadn’t gotten pregnant yet. And he was very aware of the cycle, that she would be close to test taking time.

But he didn’t know she’d taken a test this morning, because he’d been out delivering the CSA coolers when she’d woken up, and then she’d been over at Cara and Wes’s for wedding planning by the time he’d gotten home.

“So, um… I took a test this morning,” she offered, feeling oddly…nervous. Why, she didn’t know. They’d been hoping for this, talking about alternatives if it didn’t happen, and yet…everything inside of her jittered and jumped.

He was still holding the lasagna in front of him, and it was such a funny picture she wanted to laugh. She was going to cry. She was ecstatic and scared. She was everything, and she hadn’t even totally told him yet.

“You did?”

“Can you put down the lasagna, please?”

Slowly, he turned toward the counter and placed the pan carefully onto the counter. But he didn’t say anything, and that only made her nerves hum tighter.

“Did you know…somehow? All this…?”

“I just figured that it was Valentine’s Day, and I know it’s been a little hard on you so… Meaning, I love you no matter what. And I wanted today to feel special. I’m not always…great about that, and I know you like all the mushy—” He stepped toward her, scowling. “No way, sugar. You better not start crying, that isn’t allowed.”

She sniffled. “But that was so sweet and—

“Okay, romance over until you stop crying. No more sweet things.” But he said it with his mouth upturned, his rough, calloused hands wiping the tears off her cheeks.

“Don’t stop. Our baby will need sweet words too.”

His brown eyes met hers, and she saw everything she felt reflected there. Love and fear. Excitement and hope. A hint of terror. This new undertaking they were handling together. A new life. And so many things could go wrong, and so very many things to go right.

“I love you,” he said, his voice a strained thing, his hands still on her cheeks. Until one dropped and drifted to her stomach. “I can’t believe there’s a baby growing in here.”

“Something that we made,” she returned, her voice shaky, but the hand that closed over his, over her stomach and the little tiny spark of life inside.

“We’ve made a lot of things together.” His gaze returned to hers, his smile growing so that the little laugh lines dug next to his eyes. “We’ve grown a lot of things together.”

“And aren’t we lucky?” she asked, her voice thick with tears. Happy, happy tears.

“The luckiest, sugar.”

“Well, aren’t you going to kiss me?” she demanded, sniffling against another round of tears.

“When I can move face again. Right now I’m stuck in shock and fear.”

She grazed her hand against his jaw, knowing he’d nuzzle against it like he always did. Her Naked Farmer, so kind and generous, so dedicated and loyal. Such a wonderful, amazing man she’d married. “You’re going to be an amazing daddy.”

“Daddy. Jesus H.” But with a shaky laugh he finally pulled her to him, holding her close, rubbing a hand down her back and kissing her head. She wasn’t sure how long they stood there, wasn’t sure she ever wanted to move.

But… “What are you thinking?” she whispered into his chest.

“I’m just hoping that they have my teeth.”

She gave him a push on a shocked laugh. “That is not what you’re thinking about.”

“The cost of braces, retainers into adulthood. I mean these are important things to think about, Mia.”

“What are you really thinking?” she asked, earnestly. Seriously. And everything about him softened.

“Just that I hope… I’m kind of just overpowered by how much I hope.” She could tell he was struggling with composure, which poked at her own. He wasn’t a man given to emotional responses, but this was… So much. A family to grow, to nurture. Things they were good at.

But there were other things they were good at. Very good at. And she wanted that over fear and shock right now.

“Why don’t you put the lasagna back in the fridge, and we can go really celebrate.”

“Really celebrate? I don’t think you’re supposed to have liquor when you’re pregnant.”

“No, not that.” She took his hand and led him into the bedroom, watching as his grin spread wide.

“My insatiable wife.” He scooped her small frame into his arms easily, but he deposited her gently on the bed. So, overly gently, everything about him…soft. “Happy Valentine’s Day, Mia.”

“Happy Valentine’s Day,” she returned. “Now, show me what the Naked Farmer is made of.”

And that’s just what he did.

  1. Oh, that was great! Having just seen them on the periphery of Cara and Wes’s story, it’s a treat to have the focus on them again. Thanks!

  2. Aw! One thing I love about reading romance is when it reminds me of what’s important in my own relationship. This was one of those lines: “It was things like that, when she was feeling particularly sappy, that really got to her. The casual, absent to sort of natural displays of affection that he gave so easily.” Because if I had burned a lasagna, I would be spitting mad, but Dell just kisses her on the forehead. So sweeeet! Great story to kick off a great first day of the blog hop!

  3. Had to hold back my tears it was so sweet! I really loved the characters! You can tell they are both very much in love with each other & that the Sparks can fly when they have a fight but will work it out in the end. I love how he seems to be able to laugh at himself when he burned dinner & that he thought it would happen that way & had a contingency plan in case!

  4. Sweet and romantic but very realistic in the emotions – happy yet concerned that they were making another big step in their lives.

Quiet Window Air Conditioner Tips

Shopping tips for buying a quiet window air conditioner, and ways to reduce noise in your window A/C to get the quietest operation.

Identifying Quiet Window Air Conditioners Is No Easy Task

Noise is one of the most common reasons for dissatisfaction with a window air conditioner (A/C). Most people would prefer a quiet air conditioner, but when you're shopping for one, it's not easy to tell how noisy a given model will be. One reason is that noise measurements (decibel readings) are rarely included in manufacturers' product literature. Another problem is that you often don't get the chance to hear an installed unit in operation before buying it.

Types of Air Conditioner Noise

To further complicate matters, there are different kinds of noise that an air conditioner might make:
  • The hum of the fan under ordinary operation
  • Rattling and vibration of the case or internal parts
  • A thunking sound made by the compressor when it switches on
  • Electronic beeping sounds when you adjust the controls
  • Shaking and rattling of the glass or frame in the window where the unit is installed
  • Noise from outdoors that is no longer being blocked, since the window is no longer shut

If a model gets good ratings in independent side-by-side testing for low fan noise, that won't mean much to you if the thunk of the compressor kicking in wakes you up at night. Another example is a model that gets very good reviews for quiet operation as well as for overall quality and value, but which makes a piercingly loud beep every time a control is adjusted, a detail which makes it an unacceptable choice for many consumers.

Some rattling and vibration sounds are created or made much worse if a unit is not installed properly. For quietest air conditioner operation, it is essential that the unit be installed according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Suggested A/C Brands and Models for Low Noise

If you are looking for a quiet window air conditioner to buy, check out these brands and models that are recommended for low noise.

If quiet operation is a very important factor for you, you may want to consider a ductless mini-split system instead of a window A/C unit. These are nearly noiseless, much quieter than any window unit you can buy.

Tips for Reducing Noise in Your Existing A/C Window Unit

If you have a window air conditioning unit and you're not in the market to buy a new one, here are some things you can do to minimize the noise it makes:
  • First, verify that the original installation procedures have been followed properly. Pay special attention to any gaskets. If improperly installed, even a high quality, low-noise unit can rattle mercilessly.
  • For noise originating from inside the unit:
    • Be sure that all the compressor mounting parts are present and are properly tightened.
    • If you identify a part that is rattling against another part, you might be able to eliminate the noise by slightly repositioning it.
  • For vibration noise in the A/C case or the window:
    • Be sure all the mounting screws are present and are tightened properly.
    • If the window frame is vibrating, fill the gap with wooden shims or with foam weatherstripping applied to the A/C frame where it meets the window frame.
    • If the glass panes in the window are rattling, apply window putty to secure the glass panels.
  • Keep the fan blades clean. Dirt on the blades can cause them to become out of balance, prematurely wearing out the bearings.
  • Recognize that new units are quieter than older units, especially compressors. In some cases, with an aging appliance, replacement of the entire unit may be the best option to reduce the noise.

Backup Alarm Reminder on World Backup Day

Backup Alarm Reminder on World Backup Day

The Fire Department was able to make us check our Smoke Alarms twice a year (‘Check your smoke alarms, when you change the clock!’), so let’s try to start a new tradition and use tomorrows World Backup Day as our once a year Backup Alarm Reminder. Make tomorrow ‘the day’ that you will carve out some very much needed time and really look at your backups and the health of them.  So go ahead put it in your calendar before you do anything else or someone else slides something that is not nearly important into your calendar.

Do you feel confident with your backup?

That’s probably one of the most important questions. If you don’t feel confident with your backup, nightmares of failed backups and restores could haunt you even in your time off work.

Imagine having supper with your family. You are wrapped up in conversation when your eyes wander over to the clock at the wall. 8PM on the dot, and suddenly you’re breaking out in a sweat. The backup job just started, the one that fails all the time, but you promised your boss that today’s job will run correctly since he has the auditor coming in next thing in the morning and a failed backup job will cost him. What type of person are you? Will you jump up, run to the next computer and remote connect to your backup server or drive directly to work to sit next to your machine and watch the files passing? You are not familiar with situations like this? Congratulations, your backup software seems to be perfect for you and you can enjoy the rest of the day doing something else (don’t forget to give your backup server a hug though). Everybody else who is heavily nodding while reading the last paragraph, is more than welcome to read on.

Do you really want to feel scared, frustrated or anxious every day because of the lack of backup reliability? Backup should work as an insurance, so you can live your IT administrator life worry-free and not as a version of Freddy Kruger movie, haunting you in your dreams. If your backup doesn’t make you feel confident take tomorrow as a catalyst to really start a list as to what needs to change in order to trust your backup and restore again. Feel free to use the questions asked in the following guideline for your new backup plan.

Does your backup still work properly?

Can you answer this question easily? Or do you have to check if the backups are still running? When was the last time you had a look at your interface?

Do you run restore tests to check if the backup actually worked? The backup software shows a green bar for your last backup. Are you 100% sure that the data transferred is not corrupted or if it actually transferred data at all? Regular tests help to eliminate frustration during restores, because not properly saved data can be identified immediately, monitoring can be put in place, and a new backup can be initiated directly.

Do you rely on email reports for your backups? How did you setup those reports? Do you get an email every day with all information about your backup jobs and the status of the backup server? Or do you get emails only when a backup is failed? If it is the latter you should think about changing this setting. Just imagine the email proxy had a failure and your emails from the last 2 weeks are stuck. A setup with one email per day, lets you know directly if something is not working with your email server.  You also need to make sure to actually look at the emails.  One thing our system administrators here at NovaStor do is to set a calendar event every morning to check the backup logs. That way there is always time and a reminder to at the very least look at the backup logs.

Does your backup software support all your systems and applications?

How many backup solutions are you using? Do you have a single solution that does everything you need, or are you utilizing many different solutions to attempt to protect the systems that you are running?

I can’t tell you how often potential customers tell us during the first call, that they are using two or three data protection solutions for their environment. One for their physical servers, one for their virtual environment, and perhaps one more to back up all the data from disk to tape. We’ve heard it all, even things that don’t make any sense (at least to us). For example, when I back up my data from the client to a disk storage, backup software A uses a proprietary format. Using a backup software from vendor B to back up the data to tape requires a full back up every time, because the backup software B is not able to read the data format from vendor A. There will be no compression or reduction whatsoever. Also to restore one file, you have to restore the whole backup from Software A with software B and then restore your single file with software A. I don’t want to go out a limb regarding my conclusion, but why would someone want to do that?

Are you able to upgrade your environment to the newest technologies? Or does your backup software dictate your upgrade cycle? I remember the whole Windows Server 2012R2 debacle for several backup vendors. An unnamed data protection software that has a very large share of the market took almost 18 months to fully support the latest Microsoft server OS release.  Why is the backup software forcing us to wait with important upgrades to your infrastructure? I always thought the backup software’s biggest task is to protect our business critical data.

Does your backup storage have enough space?

If your backup storage is full, you can’t write new data on it. How aware of the fact that the backup storage will be filled within the next days are you?  Knowing the average storage consumption rate per backup could help your planning in setting up new storage on time to defend against lost data. How much time do you spend on checking if your storage has enough room for the next daily/ weekly/ monthly backups? Is it more than a few minutes? That would mean you actually have to connect to every machine with backup storage on it and manually request the status. Wouldn’t it be better to see the amount of empty space for all your devices in one simple place?

Do you run out of space on a regular basis? Surveys show that the amount of data stored worldwide “will grow by a factor of 10 – from 4.4 trillion gigabytes to 44 trillion. It more than doubles every two years.”

That is literally a gigantic problem. Even though storage prices are decreasing, storage investments will increase exponentially because of space requirements. For a number of years features like De-Duplication as well as information life-cycle management have been the newest trend to try to combat the increase of physical storage cost. Be aware of potential draw backs, add-ons, and further investments before diving too deep and drinking the kool-aid.  Check the requirements before you purchase a new device, and make sure you do both backup and restore tests before you commit.

Is your backup strategy up to date?

What kind of backup strategy are you using? Does it fit to your amount of data? Do you really need the most complicated backup strategy or is the good old grandfather-father-son sufficient? Do you understand what your backup strategy is doing? If you don’t know exactly when, where, and how your backup software is storing the data, it is not intuitive enough. You should be able to see to which retention pool your data is going. Same for the restore. Not knowing where the specific file is located, could cost hours of time searching. Probably that time is spend better for something else.

Does your retention policy fit to your data change rate? For example, if your data hardly changes, you can prolong your retention times. What do you include in your retention pools? We see a lot of people still backing up private data from their employees. That is a waste of space. Perhaps setting up a new rule saying that every GB used for private data backup will now be charged against the salary can help? I’m just kidding, but there have to be regulations on the usage of employee data in place.

And what about the future?

A working backup software is the one side of the coin, the costs for the backup software the other side. You probably bought the software some time ago and perhaps already forgot how much you paid. And that’s not a big deal. Usually you buy the software only once. But do you remember how much you the yearly maintenance will be? What is the licensing based on? Client, tape drive, CPU, membership status? Have you put a certain amount for the maintenance renewal in your next year’s budget? And how likely will the actual maintenance fee stay inside that budget? Could you easily figure out how much you would have to pay? Or do you need to browse through several price lists and old contracts to find an estimate? Did your maintenance fee increase from one year to the next? Do you know why it increased?

Does that already sound complicated? Most backup software vendors have huge pricelists and don’t even know themselves how to calculate the maintenance. Asking three different sales managers for a quote will likely provide you with three different offers. Do you really need that extra stress and uncertainty?

I admit that was a ton of questions and please don’t be overwhelmed by the long list of to-dos you might have now. You haven’t opened Pandora’s Box. Less stress during backup and restore, no more nightmares (at least not from the data protection solution), and a smooth IT administrator life, doesn’t that sound awesome? Thus, having a plan that includes all your issues, must-haves and requirements as a guideline will help during the improvement of your data protection scenario. The goal doesn’t need to be a working backup solution till tomorrow. Starting with small tasks and crossing issues from your list helps keeping track and will end in a more enjoyable everyday life.

Is there anything we forgot? Write an email to and let us know what problems you might have in addition and we are happy to discuss the issue with you. I’m not saying NovaStor’s NovaBACKUP DataCenter will solve your problem and it will never fail. There is no backup software on the market that runs 100% of the time and never has a failed backup or restore job. But in case you are not happy with your current solution, try to change something and test other backup software on the market. There will be one out there that is exactly the right one for your environment. And perhaps it is our NovaBACKUP DataCenter?! So why not giving it a try?

Current Research

Understanding the links between brain activity and sensory perception is a central question that has long inspired neuroscience research. While much of this work has focused on the neural processing of visual objects and visual object categories (e.g., faces, houses, gnomes, supervillains), little is known about the neural processing of odor objects, that is, the quality or character of a smell arising from an odorous object (e.g., minty, lemony, wet-dog, baked bread). Where, and in what form, is perceptual information about odor quality coded in the olfactory brain? What is the neural signature corresponding to the perceived fragrance of chocolate, or of cheese? How do learning and experience modulate perceptual codes of odor objects?

The primary research objective in our lab is to clarify the functional architecture of odor quality coding in the human brain. Our laboratory combines olfactory functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) with different psychophysics paradigms, physiological recordings, and multivariate (pattern-based) statistical approaches to clarify the links between brain function, perception, learning, and behavior. More recently we have begun using intracranial EEG (iEEG) techniques in patients with medically resistant epilepsy to elucidate the rapid (millisecond) spatiotemporal dynamics of odor processing in the human olfactory (piriform) cortex, amygdala, hippocampus, and orbitofrontal cortex. Insights gained from this work will represent an important step forward in clarifying the neurobiology of the human olfactory system.

"Filibuster", Termed by a MAN, Of Course

In light of Ted Cruz's recent faux filibuster, I decided to I look up the origins of the unusual word. It comes from the Spanish "filibustero" with origins stemming from words like privateer and pirate. Just as I suspected, the term "filibuster" was coined by a MAN named Albert G. Brown in 1853. But that's not important. What IS important is that he was male. I knew it had to be named by a man.

If you had asked a woman to name a procedure in which one is allowed to talk for as LONG as one wants about WHATEVER one wants, without interruption, effectively keeping anything at all from actually being accomplished, she would have called it "Better Than Sex".

Note from Anonymiss: By the way, if this sounds familiar, I drudged it up from a post I wrote in March about Rand Paul and just changed the names a bit. If it doesn't sound familiar, ignore than last sentence and bask in my timely originality :)

  1. It is commonly accepted that irderivative terms of art LIKE "filibuster" or "degradligating" (a "lawfare" argot term meaning, essentially "lawfare", or "to {purposely [understood]} degrade through {excessive [understood]} litigation"), although not those two specific terms, were first introduced - well, you can't say "into English" per se - as part of a ginormously elaborate prank* perpatriciated on the Saxons by the Normans. Sadly, "English" itself is really nothing more than the lasting dreadful consequence. We really do speak a "joke language"**.

    *Ha! Made you look!

    **Which, strangely, is not very useful for communicating robust insults.

  2. Actually, women would hate filibustering unless there was at least one other person in the Senate chamber who was nodding and making listening noises.

    Somebody Google this: has a female Senator ever filibustered?

Study finds tomato-rich diet cuts skin cancer risk in half

14 Jul 2017 --- Research involving mice that were fed a tomato-rich diet on a daily basis showed a reduction in the development of skin cancer tumors, by up to half in some cases.

The new study at Ohio State University shows how nutritional interventions can alter the risk for skin cancers. It has been published online in the journal Scientific Reports.

It found that male mice fed a diet of 10 percent tomato powder daily for 35 weeks, then exposed to ultraviolet light, experienced, on average, a 50 percent decrease in skin cancer tumors compared to mice that did not eat dehydrated tomato.

The theory behind the relationship between tomatoes and cancer is that dietary carotenoids, the pigmenting compounds that give tomatoes their color, may protect skin against UV light damage, says Jessica Cooperstone, co-author of the study and a research scientist in the Department of Food Science and Technology in the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences at Ohio State.

There were no significant differences in tumor numbers for the female mice in the study. Previous research has shown that male mice develop tumors earlier after UV exposure and that their tumors are more numerous, larger and more aggressive.

“This study showed us that we do need to consider sex when exploring different preventive strategies,” says the study's senior author, Tatiana Oberyszyn, a professor of pathology and member of Ohio State's Comprehensive Cancer Center.

“What works in men may not always work equally well in women and vice versa.”

There has been much work carried out previously directed towards tomato consumption and various health benefits.

Previous human clinical trials suggest that eating tomato paste over time can dampen sunburns, perhaps thanks to carotenoids from the plants that are deposited in the skin of humans after eating, and may be able to protect against UV light damage, Cooperstone says.

“Lycopene, the primary carotenoid in tomatoes, has been shown to be the most effective antioxidant of these pigments,” Professor Oberyszyn adds.

“However, when comparing lycopene administered from a whole food (tomato) or a synthesized supplement, tomatoes appear more effective in preventing redness after UV exposure, suggesting other compounds in tomatoes may also be at play.”

Male VS Female Results
In the new study, the Ohio State researchers found that only male mice fed dehydrated red tomatoes had reductions in tumor growth. Those fed diets with tangerine tomatoes, which have been shown to be higher in bioavailable lycopene in previous research, had fewer tumors than the control group, but the difference was not statistically significant.

Cooperstone is currently researching tomato compounds other than lycopene that may impart health benefits.

Non-melanoma skin cancers are the most common of all cancers, with more new cases (5.4 million in 2012) each year than breast, prostate, lung and colon cancers combined, according to the American Cancer Society.

Despite a low mortality rate, these cancers are costly, disfiguring, and their rates are increasing, according to the US Department of Health and Human Services.

“Alternative methods for systemic protection, possibly through nutritional interventions to modulate risk for skin-related diseases, could provide a significant benefit,” Cooperstone says.

“Foods are not drugs, but they can possibly, over the lifetime of consumption, alter the development of certain diseases,” she says.

This was a three-year study that was supported by the National Institutes of Health through the National Cancer Institute.
