FRS products are now championed by some of the world's most elite athletes such as NFL star Tim Tebow, Captain of the US Women's National Soccer Team Christie Rampone and over 20 professional sports teams.

Unlocking the Science of Quercetin
Quercetin is one of nature's most powerful and abundant antioxidants, found in fruits and vegetables like red apples, grapes and berries. It has been shown in clinical studies to deliver sustained energy, help promote improved fitness and support overall health.
Emerging scientific research suggests that quercetin mimics the effects of exercise by enhancing the production of the body's mitochondria, the energy-producing units in cells. Traditionally, exercise training has been the only practical way to increase the amount of mitochondria in cells, and in turn, increase endurance exercise capacity.
Quercetin has also been credited with a wide range of other benefits, including immune-system support, and is being widely studied by the scientific community.
All quercetin isn't the same, though. FRS uses only QU995, the purest quercetin available, and combines it with a patented mix of vitamins, antioxidants and metabolic enhancers to support absorption.

Boston for $3.33 a Day!
I am totally stoked and a bit scared because I am basically changing everything. I am selling my car, which I am really looking forward to actually. Living in the heart of the city with no car. Wow.. I am amazed at how things unfold in life.
The ONE sad thing, is that I will be leaving my beloved dog with my X. We share custody of her now, and I will still go up and see her once a week overnight, but it is going to be hard not to have her with me like I do now. My X loves her as much as I do, so she will be taken care of well.
I'm moving sometime in the next 30 days.. depending on how fast I can sell my stuff and tie up loose ends here.
I will be one subway stop from Chinatown!.. there is a Trader Joes close by and a Whole Foods really close by my apartment.. it will be interesting to see if I can pull off $3.33 a Day in Boston?
I am so grateful I have this opportunity. My youngest son went to college last week and now Momma's gonna play! Part of my goal with this move is to really stretch my creativity with my photography.. fun fun fun.

Best of wishes to you at this exciting time in your life!!!ReplyDelete
Hi there! I live in Boston and have been enjoying your blog for a few weeks now, because I'm learning to cook more vegan food on a budget. Here are some places you may want to check out: there's a place called "Fair Foods," which collects surplus veggies and sells them at $2 for a 10-lb. bag. Check their site here: http://www.fairfoods.org/dollarbag.html Also, the Harvest Coop in Central Square in Cambridge offers bulk foods and spices, and the Cambridge Naturals in Porter Square has some very cheap bulk spices. Yay! Welcome to town :-)ReplyDelete
I live 15 miles from Boston, and it's definitely been easier and less expensive for me to be vegan in this area, compared to the suburbs in PA where I moved from. I'm excited to read about your move and the types of places you discover in the city!ReplyDelete
And in case you didn't know already, there's a vegetarian/vegan food festival in late October; http://www.bostonveg.org/foodfest/
Yay! My husband and I live in Boston and love it! I am so excited to have you here and see how you do $3.33 specifically in Boston.ReplyDelete
Exciting! Good luck! There are a lot of great vegan places in Boston. Check out GrasshopperReplyDelete
Exciting news! All the best wishes for your move and have Fun!!ReplyDelete
I lived in Boston for two years in 1991 and 92...I had a blast. Can't wait to read about your new adventures in bean town.
Sorry to hear about your dog, but glad to hear that you'll be able to see her often and that she'll still be well -loved and looked after.
Congratulations! Sounds very exciting. You deserve it.ReplyDelete
Congrats!!! I'm from MA and went to college in Boston, which is where my vegan journey began. I love visiting it and there are new vegan restaurants popping up all over the place! Let me know if you need any advice and perhaps we can meetup when I'm back east - I'll be there in October and December this year : )ReplyDelete
Yay Boston! There are a few vegan restaurants in that area, or at least there used to be. Boston was where I became vegan.ReplyDelete
So sad you have to leave your dog but it it probably easier to find an apartment that way. It's hell to try to find an apartment that allows dogs these days. Good luck with everything!

Ten third-party characters that should be in the next Super Smash Bros.
[Continued] Page 2
Ivy (Soulcalibur series)
This pick was originally going to be Heihachi Mishima of Tekken fame, but that's too predictable. Plus, that dude's already in PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale. Besides, Ivy is certainly well-equipped to bring the fight to Smash Bros. With her deadly whip in hand and her incredible acrobatic abilities, she'd be able to take down any character on the roster, be it a hulking behemoth like Donkey Kong or a speedy brawler like Captain Falcon. Also, it'd be really intriguing to see Nintendo have some jiggle physics in one of its games.
Eggman (Sonic the Hedgehog series)
Mario and Bowser. Kirby and King Dedede. Link and Ganondorf. These epic rivalries have transcended gaming, and they've even transcended Smash Bros., with the inclusion of these awesome protagonists and their respective antagonists. If Sonic returns to the fray in the Wii U rendition of Smash Bros., it'll be great to see Eggman make his debut in the series. A technological genius, there's no doubt that Eggman would bring some heavy artillery to the game. Maybe he'd even get to finally defeat Sonic. Besides, Dedede is getting lonely being the only morbidly obese character on the roster.
The Prince (Katamari Damacy series)
Smash Bros. for Wii U needs a good underdog. It also needs a good offbeat addition to its roster. In Brawl, Olimar was that quirky newcomer. Katamary Damacy's Prince could very well take on that role in the upcoming Wii U fighter. What exactly would he do? I have no idea, but that's what makes him such an awesome character. Besides, Katamari Damacy is one of Namco Bandai's most unique franchises to come along in recent memory, so some representation in Smash Bros. would definitely be well-deserved.
Mega Man (Mega Man series)
Mega Man was at one point a staple of the Nintendo name. NES gamers everywhere cherished the series, which went on to become a beloved part of video game history. A lot of folks would love to see the Blue Bomber make a triumphant return to a Nintendo console, and a grand debut as part of the Smash Bros. roster would certainly be fitting. It's hard to think of another third-party character that deserves to be included in Smash Bros. more than Mega Man. If he does make it to the roster, we can have an epic clash between Mega Man and Samus Aran. Yup, that would be so awesome!
Travis Touchdown (No More Heroes series)
When the first No More Heroes launched on the Wii back in 2007, it provided a hilarious, bloody, and sexy M-rated experience on the Big N's shiny console. A sequel launched shortly after, and it once again delivered some much-needed violence to the platform. Because of that, No More Heroes is easily one of the most important and memorable games to come along on a Nintendo platform, and its protagonist, Travis Touchdown, can be considered an icon. An absurd otaku, Travis hacked and slashed his way through hundreds of enemies and assassins using just his dimwitted charm and a beam katana he won in an online auction. He's probably running low on money again, so maybe he can make some extra cash by participating in a few Smash Bros. tournaments.

Longtime readers may remember when two different magazines — Woodworker's Journal and Today's Woodworker — combined into the publication you know today as Woodworker's Journal. Once that happened, Today's Woodworker ceased publication.

Whittier features views of more than a dozen waterfalls leaping from icefields into Prince William Sound. The most impressive is picturesque Horsetail Falls formed where Whittier Creek plunges from the ridge of a glacial cirque west of town.
Kayaking +
Located in the heart of Prince William Sound and surrounded by glaciated fjords and inlets, Whittier is a popular destination for sea kayakers.

Prince William Sound Museum features numerous displays about Whittier's unusual military history, but for many the most striking exhibit is on Anton Anderson, who engineered the town's tunnel. Anderson not only was an engineer who was able to handle the massive war-time project but there was also a political side to him as he eventually became the mayor of Anchorage.

OSLO (Reuters) - Norwegian Air Shuttle
Boeing has notified the Nordic carrier that its delivery schedule was at risk because of an investigation by the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board into the aircraft and the extent of the possible delay was not yet known.
"In the event that the 787 is not operational in time for Norwegian's services to New York and Bangkok replacement long-haul aircraft will be leased to ensure flights are operated as scheduled," the firm said on Friday.
Norwegian was scheduled to receive the first of eight Dreamliners in April and the firm has already sold deeply discounted ticket for its first overseas flights as it aims to take on traditional legacy carriers.
Authorities grounded the Dreamliner worldwide on January 16, after a series of battery incidents, including a fire on board a parked 787 in Boston and an in-flight problem on another plane in Japan. The groundings have cost airlines tens of millions of dollars, with no end in sight.

Origins News Roundup for September 3, 2014
This week's news features volcanoes, skeletons, and stars, as well as a thought-provoking new book from InterVarsity press.
Scientific Passions
All of science's discoveries are undergirded by beliefs about the true, good, and beautiful, which makes it all the more tragic when scientists claim to have risen above the search for these things.
Origins News Roundup for August 20, 2014
From science and religion blogs: quantum uncertainty and God, the remarkable fact that we have come to understand our place in the created order, and the role of theology in making wise choices about the use of technology.
Series: Excerpts from "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution" (13 entries)
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
Series: Belief in God in a World Explained by Science (3 entries)
Series: Evolution Basics (48 entries)
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
Origins News Roundup for July 9, 2014
This week in origins news is a rousing medley of articles about science and faith, from multiple angles. Some classics on science, religion, and the classroom along with some probing into where atheists come from, new resources from John Polkinghorne, and an off-the-beaten-path blog post.
The Christian Reformed Church votes to support scholarship on human origins
We should celebrate the many times that our churches and colleges encourage scholarship. I saw several delegates at Synod stand up and speak directly about the importance of supporting scholars who engage the science and religion dialogue. The recent Synod decision was a move in the right direction.
Series: The Human Fossil Record (19 entries)
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
What Americans Think and Feel about Evolution
The new Gallup survey shows in broad strokes the challenge we face. But more nuanced surveys find that only 8% of Americans are convinced creationists whose beliefs are dear to them, and only 4% are convinced atheistic evolutionists whose beliefs are dear to them. The vast majority of Americans are not sure of their position and are open to a conversation.
Religion, Science, and Society
Conflicts occur when people argue one worldview against another. They may be arguing Atheism versus Monotheism, then pull out science as a weapon saying, "science proves I'm right because of this or that..." In my view, science is rather more limited than this. Science has a lot of interesting resonances with the big questions, and can inform them, but I don't believe it can answer them.
Origins News Round-Up for May 28, 2014
This weeks in Origins news: studies of a skeleton uncovered in 2007 provide clues about rapid human evolution in the Americas, our climate and Christian stewardship, a few BioLogos folks give interviews, and some cool links to miscellaneous finds.
Series: Creation, Evolution, and the Over-Active Imagination (2 entries)
Series: Intelligent Design and Common Ancestry (4 entries)
Would those genuinely interested in learning about evolution benefit from a careful explanation of why these common objections don't hold water? Here the answer seemed to me to be "yes."
The Strange Tension Between Theology and Science
The problem comes when materialism, claiming the authority of science, denies the possibility of all other types of knowledge — reducing human beings to a bag of chemicals and all their hopes and loves to the firing of neurons. Or when religion exceeds its bounds and declares the Earth to be 6,000 years old. In both cases, the besetting sin is the same: the arrogant exclusive claim to know reality.
Series: On Creating the Cosmos, by Ted Peters (9 entries)
Last year I introduced readers to one of the leading voices about Christianity and science, John Polkinghorne. I also helped BioLogos bring in another leading voice, Robert Russell. This new series introduces a third prominent Christian thinker, Lutheran theologian Ted Peters, Research Professor Emeritus in Systematic Theology and Ethics at Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary, the Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences (http://www.ctns.org/), and the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, California.
An Impossible World
What if political, social, religious, and scientific groups the world over adopted [a gracious] approach to dialogue and their own desires? What if we didn't have to be snide and aggressive to get our point across and to elicit cheering (or jeering) from our respective constituencies?
Series: Interpreting Adam (7 entries)
A few months ago Zondervan published the anthology Four Views on the Historical Adam. This valuable new resource addresses one of the most common questions Christians have about evolution: how does the Adam of the Bible fit with the scientific and historical evidence about early humans?
Book review: "Why Science Does Not Disprove God" by Amir D. Aczel
Thus, no matter what scientific evidence is amassed to explain the architecture of atoms, or the ways that neurons exchange chemical and electrical signals to create the sensations in our minds, or the manner in which the universe may have been born out of the quantum foam, science cannot disprove the existence of God — any more than a fish can disprove the existence of trees.

Crossroads Quilt
Hi, Tacha here! I'm part of the Fat Quarterly Team and am Hanies on Flickr. But more important than that, I am the Mum of two little girls and now that Spring has sprung we are out and about a lot more. I decided that I needed a new quilt to throw on the floor wherever we are so we can have impromptu picnics or snuggle up if the sun goes behind the clouds! We live in Germany so it isn't that warm yet!
I fell in love with the Just Wing It line and its great colours. I wanted a design that would show off all the prints and make good use of every tiny piece of a layer cake. I hope you like what I came up with.
1 layer cake of Just Wing It by MoMo
2 1/2 yards of white solid
10" square of dark grey solid
8 strips 2 1/2" x width of fabric for binding
4 yards of backing fabric
64" x 78" of batting
59" x 74"
Step 1 - Cut and Organise your fabric
The quilt is made up of 20 blocks.
Divide your layer cake into 2 groups of 20 squares 10".
One group (A) will be the corners of the blocks and the other group (B) will be the centre bars and small squares of the blocks.
From EACH of the squares to be used for the corners, group A, cut:
4 strips 2 1/2" x 5 1/2"
4 strips 2 1/2" x 3 1/2"
From EACH of the squares to be used for the centre bars and small squares, group B, cut:
2 strips 2 1/2" x 8 1/2"
7 squares 2 1/2"
From the white solid, cut:
240 strips 1 1/2" x 2 1/2"
40 strips 1 1/2" x 10 1/2"
71 strips 1 1/2" x 14 1/2"
From the dark grey solid, cut:
12 squares 1 1/2"
For each block you will need:
4 strips 2 1/2" x 5 1/2" and 4 strips 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" from 1 of the group A prints
2 strips 2 1/2" x 8 1/2" from 1 of the group B prints
3 squares 2 1/2" from a different group B print
2 squares 2 1/2" from a different group B print
2 squares 2 1/2" from a different group B print
12 strips 1 1/2" x 2 1/2" of white solid
2 strips 1 1/2" x 8 1/2" of white solid
2 strips 1 1/2" x 14 1/2" of white solid
Play around with the groupings of group A and group B fabrics until you are happy.
Step 2 - Make the Blocks
Now you are ready to make the blocks!
Sew the block together in rows.
Start with the centre row. Take 4 white strips 1 1/2" x 2 1/2", 3 squares 2 1/2" of a group B print, and 2 squares 2 1/2" of a different group B print. Sew together as shown.
Sew a white 1 1/2" x 14 1/2" strip to the top and the bottom of this row.
Sew a white 1 1/2" x 2 1/2" strip to both ends of the 2 1/2" x 8 1/2" strips. Sew the 1 1/2" x 8 1/2" strips to the top.
Sew the 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" strips to the side of these strips. Make 2 of these rows.
Sew a white 1 1/2" x 2 1/2" strip to either side of each of the remaining 2 1/2" group B squares.
Sew the 2 1/2" x 5 1/2" strips to either side. Make 2 rows like this.
Sew the rows together as shown.
Step 3 - Sash the Blocks
Arrange the 20 blocks in a 4 x 5 layout. Rotate alternate blocks by 90°.
Sew the white 1 1/2" x 14 1/2" strips between each block in each row.
Sew the remaining white 1 1/2" x 14 1/2" strips and dark grey 1 1/2" squares into 4 strips of 4 white 1 1/2" x 14 1/2" strips and 3 squares 1 1/2".
Sew the rows of blocks together and sashing strips together as shown.
Step 4 - Finish the Quilt
Layer the backing, batting and quilt top. Baste.
Quilt as desired. I quilted a simple all-over meandering stitch but I think this would look fabulous with straight lines to complement the squares and rectangles of the design.
Sew the binding strips together and bind your quilt.
There are some great tutorials if you need help with basting, quilting or binding your quilt. We have compiled a list on our tutorial page on Fat Quarterly.

Super cute pattern Tacha. I don't know if you have boys (I think you have two girls but not sure) but my boys could have spent hours driving their cars round these roads when they were little - this would be a great boy quilt!

Lovely! Something to put on my bucket list :)
One question - maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see in the instructions what to do with the dark grey 10" square, how to divide it up? How many squares should it make and what are the dimensions?

I ALSO would like to know what to do with the 10" dark grey square.
And, WHAT fabric is needed for the 8 strips 2 1/2" x width of fabric?
- May 4, 2011 at 8:51 AM
- Rebecca Maples said...
LOVE this!!! Defenatly on my to make list:)
I think the 8-2 1/2" x width of the fabric strips are for the binding, and I think you cut up the dark grey square to use for the setting squares. Am I right?
- May 4, 2011 at 9:05 AM
- Tacha said...
Thanks everyone!
The 8 strips 2 1/2" x WOF are for the binding.
Cut the 10" grey square into 12 squares measuring 1 1/2". You will need less than 10" square.

great pattern, and so much space for different variations, depending on the fabrics you choose.
And I'm sure it is as great for girls as for boys - just imagine putting some little houses in the centres of the blocks and changing the quilt into a town ;)

Hi there. I'm making this right now but the blocks aren't going together correctly. What is the seam allowance? I did 1/4" and the dashing strips aren't long enough. Grrr. Thanks.
- January 20, 2012 at 8:52 PM
- Tacha said...
Hi Rachel Sorry to hear your sashing strips are not long enough. The blocks measure 14 1/2" square including seam allowance. I used 1/4" seam allowance throughout.
I would suggest you measure your blocks to see how large they are and then cut your sashing strips to suit your blocks.
- January 23, 2012 at 1:33 PM
- Rachel said...
Thanks for the reply. I went back and remeasured my seam allowances and realized I was just under 1/4 in. Because of the mulitude of seams in each strip this threw off the whole thing. I've got it fixed now and I'm being more careful to keep to the 1/4" exactly. ;)

I just finished this quilt using Serenade by Kate Spain and green instead of white for the sashing.

Hello! I'm Kaye from Miss Print and I am so happy to be here! This is my first project at the Bake Shop, but hopefully it won't be my last!
This quilt was inspired by my love of mixing different quilt blocks and techniques together. I thought to myself, hey wouldn't it be fun to mix a pinwheel block with a log cabin block? And so Pinwheels in the House was born...get it? Pinwheels inside of a log cabin block...Pinwheels in the House? Gosh, I kill myself sometimes...okay, on to the tutorial!
1 charm pack - I'm using Verna by Kate Spain
1 honey bun - Also Verna by Kate Spain
4 jelly roll strips
1 1/4 yard for backing
1/2 yard for binding
We'll begin by creating the pinwheel centres for each block:
Select 13 charm squares and cut each into four 2.5" x 2.5" squares. Divide into 25 sets of 2 matching squares (since you only need 25 sets you will have one set extra).
Cut your jelly roll strips into 2.5" x 2.5" squares. You will need 50 squares and each jelly roll strip will yield 16 squares. Pair up two of these squares with each of the sets that you cut above - each pinwheel will require two solid squares and two matching print squares.
On the back of each solid square draw a line down the middle.
Pair up one solid square and one print square right sides together. Sew a 1/4" seam on either of the line you drew.
Cut down the middle of the block along your pencil line.
Press seams away from the solid half of the block and snip off the little pointed seam ends so that the block is square. Repeat with the other solid square and the matching print square. You should now have four matching half-square triangles measuring 2" square.
Line up the squares as shown in the photo above.
Sew the two top squares together and the two bottom squares together. Once again, press your seams away from the solid side.
Sew the top and bottom pieces together along the long side and press your seams open. You now have a pinwheel centre for your block! Repeat with your remaining 24 sets of solids and prints.
Now it's time to add our log cabin borders to the pinwheel centre:
Here are the cutting directions for your honey bun strips:
Cut 2 honey bun strips into 3.5" pieces. Each strip will yield 12 pieces.
Cut 5 honey bun strips into 4.5" pieces. Each strip will yield 9 pieces.
Cut 7 honey bun strips into 5.5" pieces. Each Strip will yield 7 pieces.
Cut 8 honey bun strips into 6.5" pieces. Each strip will yield 6 pieces.
Cut 5 honey bun strips into 7.5" pieces. Each strip will yield 5 pieces.
Cut 1 honey bun strip into five 4.5" pieces, one 5.5" piece, and two 6.5" pieces.
From one of the leftover pieces from cutting the 7.5" pieces, cut one 3.5" piece.
Separate the pieces into corresponding size piles. You should have 25 pieces each of the 3.5" and 7.5" pieces; and 50 pieces each of the 4.5", 5.5", and 6.5" pieces.
Arrange the honey bun pieces around your pinwheel as shown above. I chose to match up the honey bun pieces with each pinwheel before I began sewing the log cabin borders to ensure the colour variation was nice from block to block.
Sew your 3.5" piece on first to the top of the block. Press seam out from the centre.
Sew a 4.5" piece to the right-hand side of the pinwheel. Press seam out from the centre.
Sew your second 4.5" piece to the bottom of the pinwheel. Press seam out from the centre.
Sew a 5.5" piece to the left-hand side of your block. Press seam out from the centre. You're inner border is now done!
For the outer border, begin with your 5.5" piece at the top and work in the same clockwise fashion as you did for the inner border. Press all seams out from the centre.
Look at that - your block is done! Repeat the above steps with the rest of your 24 pinwheels and honey bun pieces.
Layout your blocks in a 5x5 grid and sew together to create your quilt top!
Sandwich it up, baste, quilt, bind... and you're finished!
One 35x35" quilt perfect for cuddling a new baby, using as a play mat for a toddler, or draping as a stroller quilt.

Northeast of Place de la Bastille, this working-class neighbourhood is gradually becoming fashionable with younger Parisians. Trendy boutiques, cafés and bars are replacing the older shops and bistros, although some old-fashioned workshops survive. Left-wing sentiments are aired here annually on 14th July when France commemorates the Revolution. A few paving stones mark the site of the former Bastille prison.

A first look at the Alpha's console-like Windows 8 interface.
The Microsoft console is finally arriving in the region. How much will it cost in each country? Which games are available? All the answers are here.
You can buy an Xbox One without a Kinect, and now you can buy a Kinect without an Xbox One, too.
Microsoft and Sony announce new game console features, Alienware demos a PC that acts like a console, and the new Skylanders Trap Team game doesn't even require a console -- just a tablet.
For the first time, the game giant will launch a top-tier console title on a tablet at the same time it's coming out for consoles made by Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo. Skylanders toys will, of course, join the fray.
At Gamescom 2014, Sony reveals that its game console has sold 10 million units to consumers, signifying strong momentum continuing from its last sales update in April.
The newest Madden iteration will only be playable before its release date if you're a customer of EA's new subscription service.
It's been more than a year since Microsoft began course-correcting its vision for the Xbox One. Now, with the EA Access subscription service, the company has a way to salvage it.
Electronic Arts, the game publisher behind Madden and FIFA, introduces EA Access, a $4.99-per-month gaming subscription service exclusively for Microsoft's Xbox One console.
Effortless cool, DVD powers and more -- CNET explains how Sony's second console became gaming's greatest sequel.

"Do not get relaxed. Don't get comfortable on the couch. If you do, you'll never wake up again." It was a threat Eric Baker said he never thought Michael Wathen would make good on, but as evidenced in photographs, Baker is lucky to be alive.
Baker is a direct care worker at a group home in Farmington Hills. Wathen was one of the tenants. February 23, the 57-year-old Wathen was reportedly angry. Baker had told him not to smoke in his room.
"He comes behind me, and I turn around getting ready to ask him what do you need. He throws the chemicals and everything in my face. So it's a tall cup, and it's like burning. I'm like, 'Oh, man, what the heck did you do?'" Baker explained. "I'm burning like fire. It's actually burning the skin off my nose and stuff at this time and burning off my face."
Baker worried about the two other tenants said he yelled for them to call 911. He said Wathen was still coming at him, now with a plant in a huge pot.
"He takes it and he throws it at my face. When he throws it at my face, it hits me [in the chest,] and it just breaks," Baker said.
He was still standing and still burning when he said Wathen hit him with another plant, then got a knife.
"He comes back with a huge butcher knife," said Baker. "He's coming at me at my face... and I grab a skillet and I'm like frightening him off."
He said Wathen then went outside and broke out every window in his van before police pulled up and arrested him.
Police and paramedics finally got Baker into the shower trying to get the chemicals off his skin believed to be a combination of bleach and hot cooking oil and who knows what else. Baker told police he couldn't leave his other tenants, so the officers stayed with them while Baker was rushed to the hospital. He said he has no doubt Wathen wanted him dead.
"It just would've been horrific, and I'm just glad that God was there that he didn't," Baker said.
Now as he travels a long road to recovery dealing with the physical and emotional scars, his wife and son are traumatized by what happened to him, he is grateful to the Farmington Hills police and his pastor. He is grateful for all of the prayers, but determined to make sure this doesn't happen to anyone else.
"The people that work in this field, they don't have any protection. There should be rights for consumers, but [there are] no rights for the people that work there," said Baker.
As for Wathen, he is a career criminal and a convicted sex offender. He is locked up and charged with attempted murder.

How can I change my details?
Once you have received your email invitation to access the applicant portal, you will be able to go in and update your address details. If you wish to make a change to your name, however, you will need to contact us as we may require supporting documentation.
Making an application
What are the different types of programmes UCL offers?
UCL offers a wide variety of programme types at both taught and research levels. Further information on the types of degrees available can be found on the relevant taught and research programme pages on UCL's website.
How do I find the right programme to apply for?
First, decide whether you want to study for a taught, or for a research programme. You can view the different taught and research programmes on the UCL website. You can also look at the faculty and departmental pages for areas of interest and general information about the programmes.
Is there a deadline?
Some programmes do have an application deadline. You can check whether your chosen programme has a deadline on UCL's graduate pages. If it does, you must submit your application by 5.00 pm on the deadline date. All programmes that do not advertise a deadline are subject to the general UCL deadline of 1 August 2014. The deadline, if advertised, applies to your application and not to your references, although you are strongly encouraged to ensure your referees submit their references within two weeks of any advertised deadline.
Can I apply using an agent?
No. UCL does not deal with agents and expects all applicants to complete their applications themselves. We will not communicate with an agent regarding your application and we are unable to send email alerts regarding applications to agency email addresses.
Is there an application fee?
Yes, the fee is £50 for online taught programme applications and £75 for paper taught programme applications. Exceptions are the UCL Eastman Dental Institute and the UCL Slade School of Fine Art. The UCL Eastman Dental Institute's fees are £85 for online applications and £110 for paper applications. The Slade School of Fine Art's fees are £75 for online applications (it does not accept paper applications). Additionally, there are a small number of programmes that are exempt from the application processing fee (see below). Please note, the online application will not be submitted to UCL until the fee has been paid.
How can I pay the application fee?
The fee can only be paid online using a credit card for online applications. If you do not have a credit card you can ask someone else to make the payment for you.
Which programmes do not have an application fee?
Research level and MRes programmes are exempt from application fees. In addition, the following taught programmes are also exempt:

What you need to provide with your application
What documents and supporting information do I need to include?
All applicants need to provide two references and a transcript. Research applicants must also provide a research proposal. Applicants for
taught programmes in the Department of Economics, who have not undertaken an undergraduate degree in the
UK, will also need
to provide GRE scores. If you are applying for MSc Speech and Language Sciences you will also need
upload a work experience form, which you can find on the relevant prospectus entry.
Do my references have to be academic?
At least one of your references must be academic. You can substitute one professional reference for an academic one if you wish or you can supply two academic references.
What is a transcript?
A transcript is a breakdown of the modules you have studied in your degree and the marks received. Your university's records office should be able to provide this to you or you may be able to access it yourself online. If you are a current student you can still obtain a transcript of your marks to date.
What do I include in a research proposal?
A research proposal should contain information on your proposed area of
research, your planned methodological approach and a summary of the research on
this topic that has already produced. You can find detailed guidance for prospective graduate students on the UCL website.
What is the GRE and how do I take it?
The GRE is an international standardised test of verbal, quantitative and analytical reasoning skills. You can take the test in many different centres throughout the world. Details of how to take the test along with information about practice papers can be found on the ETS website.
My transcript is not in English, do I have to provide a translation?
Yes. All documents need to be provided in English and officially translated.
Will you return documents to me?
No. You must not send to us anything that you require back. We will not return documents sent to us. If you are made an offer you will be required to send us official evidence of your degree award and you will receive information about how to go about doing this.
Can I defer my offer?
may request to defer your offer for one year only. If your request is successful but you are still unable to attend the following year, you will
need to make a new
application. To request a deferral, please email Graduate Admissions, giving reasons for your request to defer.
What to expect after applying
When will I hear from you?
Within one working day of submitting your online application you will be contacted with your ID number and information about how to access the applicant portal. You can use the applicant portal to check if your referees have submitted references and to track the progress of your application.
When will I get a decision?
This can vary significantly, depending on a number of factors. In general, decisions on research applications take longer than applications to taught programmes, as they may be considered by more than one person. If your application is missing any item, such as a legible transcript or GRE scores (where relevant), it will only be considered once these are received. We aim to be able to provide you with a decision within seven weeks. For some programmes this may be much quicker. At busier times of the year the process may be slower.
Will I be invited to an interview?
Very few taught programmes invite applicants to interview. If you have applied to one of these, you may be asked to come for an interview. You may also be invited to an interview if you have applied for a research programme.
How will I find out what decision has been made?
Once a decision has been made you will be sent an email asking you to check the portal. You will see there what the decision is and if you have been made an offer you will see the details of it there. You can also respond to your offer (accepting or declining it) in the portal.
When do I need to respond to an offer?
We ask you to respond within four weeks, but this is not essential. If you need more time you can take longer and your offer will not be withdrawn. You do not need to contact us to tell us that you will not respond within the given period.
Fees and fee status
When will I know what fee status I have been classified as?
Your fee status is determined only at the point of offer if you are successful. The information about your classification and the exact fees due is included in your offer letter.
How do I appeal about my fee status?
Information about how your fee status is determined is available on the relevant pages of UCL's website. If, after reading this, you feel you have been classified incorrectly you can contact us and we will ask you to complete a fee classification questionnaire.
If you are a referee
How do I provide an online reference?
If you are asked to provide a reference, you will be sent an email containing a link to our reference system. This will give you the option to either complete an online form or or to download the form in Word to complete and upload.
I am being asked to log in but I don't have a username or password
The link that was emailed to you should take you straight into your reference, as your access is embedded in the link. If you are being asked for a username and password then the entire link has not been used. It may be that your email provider has entered a gap in the URL. If you copy and paste the entire URL into your browser this should not happen.
Why can't I attach an existing document to my online reference?
UCL asks all referees to submit a standard reference form, either by completing one online or by downloading it in Word version to complete and upload. With either option, as well as being asked some specific questions, you will be given a space to include a free statement. We ask all referees to complete this standard form to ensure all references are in the same format, allowing for fair and equal consideration of each candidate.
If I don't want to provide a reference, how can I decline?
If you do not wish to provide a reference for an applicant, please use the link in the email that was sent to you and select the third option that appears on the screen, which allows you to decline. The applicant will be notified that you have chosen not to provide a reference and he or she will be able to choose a different referee.
Can an applicant see the reference I provide for them?
References are not automatically displayed to any applicant. However, if the applicant requests to see a reference as a Subject Access Request under the Data Protection Act, we would consider that request and act accordingly. If you tick the box to state you are happy for the applicant to see it, then we would allow him or her to see it. If you say you are not happy for the applicant to see his or her reference, however, we will contact you to ask for reasons. Please note that, under the terms of the DPA, even if you do not wish to release a reference we are obliged to do so, unless there is a compelling reason not to.
I have received more than one request for the same applicant for a different programme. Do I have to provide a new reference?
References are requested for each application to each programme. Whilst this may mean that you are occasionally asked to provide a second reference for the same applicant, we have this requirement so that references can be tailored specifically to the programme in question to the applicant's benefit.
Technical questions and problems
How do I get back into an application I've started but not submitted?
Whenever you start or continue an application online, you are sent an email with a link in it that will take you back to that application. If you have not received an email, please check your junk mail folder and if you still cannot find it or have deleted it please contact us and we will resend it.
I have an error message on my application
If you see an error message on the screen while you are viewing your application that you do not understand, please take a screenshot and email it to us.
I can't remember my password for my application
You can set up a new temporary password via the 'Forgotten Password' option on your application. You will be asked to enter some personal details to confirm your identity and a new temporary password will then be emailed to you.
How do I track my application?
After you have submitted your application, you will receive an email within 24 hours inviting you to the Applicant Portal, where you can see the progress of your application and find out the decision on it once it has been made. You can also see when your references have been received and change your referee if you need to. Please note that this time frame is approximate. Weekends and college closures will affect response times.
I've forgotten my password for the portal
In the Applicant Portal you will see a help link labelled "Graduate and Research Applicants". This will outline how to log in and provide a link to change your password online if you have forgotten it.
I haven't been invited to the portal
All applicants should be sent an invitation to the portal within 24 hours, but this period will be extended if you submit your application on a weekend or on a day when the university is closed. Occasionally, there may be a delay of a couple of days if there is a technical issue to fix. If you have been waiting for more than three working days for your invitation email, please first check your junk mail folder and if you have still not received an invitation, contact us.
The portal is showing an error message
If you see an error message in your on-screen application, please take a screenshot and email to us, remembering to include your ID number.
I've changed my email address, can I change my username to match?
Unfortunately, this is not possible. If you have changed or amended your contact details with us then all correspondence will be sent to your new email address. Your username will, however, remain the email address you originally provided.
CASs and visa application
When will you send me my CAS?
For anyone starting a programme in September, we will send out CASs from early summer onwards. For anyone starting a programme of study at any other time of the year, we will send your CAS approximately three months before your start date.
How do I get my CAS?
Before we issue you with your CAS, we will invite you to check the details that are included in it first. You will receive an email inviting you to check your details in the portal. When you do this, you will either be able to verify that the details are correct or submit amendments by uploading a copy of your passport. Once you have verified that your details are correct, we will issue your CAS by email infive to ten working days. The CAS number will also appear on the portal.
What is the "Five Year Rule"?
In April 2012, the UK Border Agency introduced a new rule stating that nobody could study for more than five years at degree level on a Tier 4 visa. If the degree for which you currently hold an offer would take you over this five-year period you must inform us. There are some exceptions to the rule that may apply to you and you should check these the advice from the UKCISA.
Do I need an ATAS certificate?
Some of the programmes we offer require you to apply for an ATAS certificate before you can apply for a visa. If you require an ATAS certificate, your offer letter will state this. If you are a research applicant and require an ATAS certificate, your offer letter will also include an agreed summary of your research that you will need to include in your ATAS application.
Contact us
How can I contact the Admissions Office?
Please see the contacts page for details of how to contact us by email or phone.
How can I contact my department?
Please see our departments information page. Each department is listed alphabetically here.
Can someone else call you on my behalf?
We expect all applicants to make their own application and to communicate with us themselves regarding this. However, we understand that in some cases this is not possible if, for example, the applicant is travelling or living somewhere without reliable telephone and internet connection. In such cases, you may contact us to nominate a friend or family member to communicate in your behalf about your application. Due to data protection regulations, however, we can only do this with the applicant's express permission. If you wish to nominate a friend or relative to communicate on your behalf you must email us, giving your name and ID number and the name of the person you are nominating. Please note that we do not deal with agents at all.
Re-applying and deferring

No. If you have been unsuccessful for the current session you cannot be reconsidered for the same session. You can choose to apply to another programme if you wish
I want to apply again next year, do I need to send all my documents again?
Yes. If you make a new application for the following year you will need to send all supporting documentation again as documents are not carried over from one year to the next
How do I apply for another programme this year?
For each programme you wish to apply to you need to make an individual application. Each application needs to be supported with the relevant additional documentation and is subject to the application fee. Each application is considered separately.
Can I defer my offer?
You can request to defer an offer for one year only. If your deferral is agreed then you will be issued with a new offer for the following academic year.

The new fee will be slightly higher.

The 2015 NFL Draft is expected to see a big influx of marquee underclassmen quarterbacks, but the list may not include arguably the biggest name - reigning Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston.
Antonor Winston, father of the Florida State star, told AL.com recently that his son plans to stay in school until he graduates in December 2015, meaning two more seasons on the gridiron for the Seminoles.
"We want Jameis to succeed with one more year in baseball and two more years in football," Antonor Winston said. "We've never strayed from our plan that he is going to be in college until he gets that degree."
A redshirt sophomore, Winston will be three years removed from high school next spring and eligible for the 2015 Draft. Since 1970, only four redshirt sophomore quarterbacks have left the college ranks early and landed in the draft's first round, including Johnny Manziel with the Cleveland Browns last month, so it's an uncommon occurrence.
But like Manziel, Winston isn't exactly a common NFL prospect.
Currently working toward an engineering degree, Winston might also be a high pick in the Major League Baseball draft, giving the 20-year old options that could persuade him to stay in Tallahassee beyond this season. After all, what's the rush? The NFL isn't going anywhere and the Winston family wants education to come before the professional contract.
The senior crop of quarterback prospects is fairly thin, but there is a strong group of redshirt juniors that includes Oregon's Marcus Mariota, the top-rated prospect for 2015 by NFLDraftScout.com, UCLA's Brett Hundley and Oregon's Kevin Hogan. Winston is the top-rated redshirt sophomore prospect.
Winston's trophy case already includes a Heisman, Conference Player of the Year honors and a BCS National Championship after an unprecedented freshman season. But despite numerous accolades and impressive performances for a young player, Winston is far from a perfect NFL prospect. He has an elongated delivery, needs to continue his mental development and the off-field red flags have been plentiful.
The good far outweighs the bad, however, and if Winston shows consistent progression on the field he'll likely be viewed as an early first round pick whenever he goes pro.
Regardless of prior plans, Winston's performance in 2014 will likely be the most substantial indicator to whether or not he ultimately bolts early for the NFL. He doesn't need to make a decision on his NFL future until January, so the comments of Winston's father should be received as nothing more than one of Winston's several options.
