Cleaning Office Buildings
Cleaning Service Charlotte allergic to dust
Have you found yourself coughing and sneezing more often these days? Odds are your home or office has become dusty. Allergic reactions to mold, pet dander and human waste and cockroach are all ingredients that may be floating in house dust.
A dust mite is a microscopic creature of spider that is normally in homes. The mites are primarily in mattresses, carpets and upholstery. These mites thrive especially in hot and humid conditions.
Waste that is produced by mites are very allergenic and that is what causes allergic symptoms. Waste persists even after the mite that produced them has died.
Dust mites grow best at 75-80% relative humidity and can not live under a humidity 50%. You can measure the humidity in your home or office building with a humidity gauge.
Where mites can live?
A large number of dust mites can be found in carpets. They are also found in pillows, blankets, curtains and similar fabrics. The female can lay up to 50 eggs every three weeks.
How Can I mite Dust control?
• Wash blankets in hot water regularly. Try to avoid buying wool and blankets down.
• Run air conditioner during times of high humidity (especially during the spring through fall).
• Use window shades instead of heavy curtains and Venetian blinds.
• Vacuum thoroughly 1-2 times per week.
• Wrap mattresses, box springs, pillows and zippered, dust covers.
• Keep clothing in closets which can be closed.
• Non-allergic individuals should do most of the household.

"Moving Out So That Others Can Move Up …"
THE FORMER PRESIDENT OF A PLATTE COUNTY, Missouri, ambulance district was sentenced this morning (Thursday) after pleading guilty in October for a fraudulent land-flip deal that cost the taxpayers $144,000. Kevin Rawlings, 40, the former president of the Northland Regional Ambulance District, was sentenced to pay restitution of $125,000, serve 15 days in jail, and one year's probation.
Kevin Rawlings
Firegeezer reported this crime in February of this year after Rawlings had been arrested for buying land that he knew could be used for a new ambulance station and then resold a portion of it to the ambulance district at an inflated price. He bought the 34 acres of farmland in April 2010 for $130,000 and then sold 1.5 acres of it to the ambulance authority for $175,000 netting himself $45,000 cash plus the remaining 32+ acres for a profit of $144,000. The full 35-acre plot was later appraised at $30,600. (See the Firegeezer article Ambulance Official Charged in Land-Flip Deal HERE.)
The Kansas City Star is reporting today:
Rawlings was elected board president in 2006. He knew as early as 2008 that the district wanted to build a new station near Route U at the Camden Point exit, Zahnd said.
During a board meeting in September 2010, Rawlings directed the group's executive director to begin searching for available property in the same area. A month later, the ambulance district board voted to begin negotiations to buy two acres of the land owned by Rawlings. At a closed board meeting in November 2010, the district's attorney suggested that bid specifications be written to solicit bids from the public for property in the Camden Point area.
Those requests for bids were posted in local newspapers, but Rawlings was the only person to make a formal proposal. Negotiations to buy that property from Rawlings had started before the bid posting. When another potential seller came forward, Rawlings directed the executive director to reply that the ambulance district already had "a contract on (the) ground" and wouldn't need more bids, Zahnd said.
Circuit Court Judge Dennis Eckold ordered Rawlings to pay $125,000 in restitution within 30 days to the district and sentenced him to a year behind bars but suspended imposition of the sentence. He ordered the 15-day jail term as "shock time."

FROM MINT HILL, NORTH CAROLINA, WBTV-TV is reporting that last week the former Fire Chief of the Mint Hill Volunteer Fire Department pleaded guilty to embezzling more than $225,000 from the Town of Mint Hill and the Fire Department. The station tells us:
Jeremy K. Russell, 38, of Mint Hill, N.C., "used his position as Fire Chief to steal and embezzle from the Town of Mint Hill, the Mint Hill Volunteer Fire Department, and the taxpayers who supported those institutions," the official report states.
A Former Fire Chief (Observer / Johnston)
Russell carried out the embezzlement from May 2010 to April 2012, primarily by setting up a sham corporation, "Regional Medic & First Responder Supply Connection" ("Regional Medic"), with a corresponding bank account in the company's name that Russell personally controlled, the attorney's office told WBTV.
Russell also arranged for a mail drop in Regional Medic's name. According to the court document, Russell submitted false invoices from the sham company for equipment and services never provided to the Fire Department.
Russell kept the invoices under $5,000 and got the corresponding checks signed off by those at the Town and Fire Department with payment authority. According to the charging document, Russell picked up the checks at the mail drop and then deposited them into the bank account in Regional Medic's name.
In explaining why he was able to get away with it for two years, the Charlotte Observer adds:
According to the documents, Russell submitted bogus invoices from Regional Medical for equipment and services that were never used. The invoices were generally small, under $5,000, which helped Russell avoid detection, a fire official who approved some of the invoices said.
"We run a lot of calls, and running two ambulances like we do for transport, it's very expensive to operate, so when the bills came in, it just looked like it was day-to-day operations," said Jerry Mullis, the chairman of the Mint Hill Volunteer Fire Department's board of directors. "You put your trust in people. It's what we've done for almost 60 years. I'm chairman of the board of directors. I sign the checks. I see the invoices. It was just not questionable."

The Baby Boomer Bust
Boomers better keep on working
Having arrived after the Greatest Generation and the Silent Generation, the baby boomer generation had two tough acts to follow. These days, it's really tough.
The Associated Press is running a story this week introducing readers to a handful of baby boomers now in their sixties who are realizing that retirement has been indefinitely postponed. The new "work till you drop" ethic is a tough nut to swallow for people who have been on the work force for over four decades and lived well enough in the past to support their own parents' retirement.
There's a unique story for each of the nation's 78 million boomers, and a mess of common factors tarnishing their golden years. Technology and automation have left fewer opportunities, and scores of remaining jobs have been shipped overseas. Employed boomers are forever at risk of being undercut by younger, less experienced candidates willing to accept less pay (often, ironically, because they live with their baby boomer parents), and in the soured economy pensions have been lost and benefits cut. Nest eggs have been scrambled by a stock market in crisis. There's no parachute for most baby boomers, let alone a golden one.
Here's hoping things ease up for Generation X, hot on the heels of baby boomers, and for the young Gen Y and Echo Boomers to follow. They said ten years ago that Gen Xers would be the first generation in America not to enjoy a higher standard of living than their parents. If current trends continue at pace, the children of baby boomers could be working till they're 85.
Sometimes called the "pig in the python" generation, adult boomers changed the shape of each decade they passed through. They reveled in the cultural revolution of the 1960s, the indulgences of the '70s and '80s, and the boon times of the '90s. It's an unforeseen and unwelcome downshift late in life, but the best economic times for baby boomers appear to be in their rear view.

Big deal. The Motor City is bankrupt, thanks to the folly of previous administrations, and the new mayor won't be behind the wheel as it tries to work itself out.
To extend the automotive metaphor, the new mayor is going to find himself riding shotgun.
Detroit's operations and finances are firmly in the hands of Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr, the workout specialist appointed by governor Rick Synder in March to get the city's finances in order.
Representatives of Orr and Duggan were making nice after the election, saying how much they looked forward to working with each other. But we've heard similar reassuring noises from the last three Detroit mayors, and their collective efforts were unable to halt the city's slide into insolvency.
"Dysfunctional" is the adjective most often applied to Detroit's city government, but others are just as appropriate: "incompetent," "delusional," and "corrupt." With the city literally crumbling around them, large chunks of the population are still behaving like victims, interested in milking a golden cow that dried up years ago.
MORE: Made in America: Now a bargain for Nissan
To hear them talk, Detroit is still the auto capital of the world, and city workers are entitled to fantasize about United Auto Worker-level benefits like first-dollar health care insurance, paid layoffs, and lavish retirement benefits. So they take actions that are self-defeating, like ignoring state aid to rejuvenate the city's largest park, because it makes them look dependent and needy. Others are simply futile, such as dragging Orr into court to fight for 100% payout of their comfortable pensions, even though the money isn't available to do so.
According to a poll by the Detroit Free Press, more than three quarters of Detroiters oppose cutting the pensions of city workers. Those are noble sentiments but not particularly realistic.
Detroiters should all take a deep breath and recall the bailout and bankruptcies of General Motors (GM, Fortune 500) and Chrysler that began to unfold five years ago. Pride took no part in the decision-making. The automakers went hat in hand to Congress for loans to keep them going. Their only goal was survival. When the bailout couldn't hold back the tsunami of losses, they declared bankruptcy.
The process wasn't painless and lots of people got hurt. Wages were slashed, dealerships were closed, bills went unpaid, and shareholders and bondholders took a haircut. It was expensive for taxpayers, too.
MORE: Most disliked cars of 2013
Car czar Steve Rattner didn't hesitate to use his White House backing -- and the federal Treasury -- to restructure the companies. GM chairman and CEO Rick Wagoner lost his job and Cerberus Capital lost its investment in Chrysler, and today both automakers are viable and competitive. The medicine was harsh, but the patients recovered.
The city of Detroit needs to face up to reality. You've read countless stories about Detroit's declining population, abandoned houses and vacant land, a police force that is spread too thinly, and street lights that don't work. Even the hometown newspaper calls it "one of the most dangerous cities in America." But the rot goes deeper than that.
A glance at the stories in the Detroit News on just one day, Election Day, tell a deeply dispiriting story:
Nearby was a reference to an earlier article that revealed that half of the owners of Detroit's 305,000 properties failed to pay their taxes, resulting in nearly $250 million in uncollected funds. "Why pay taxes when they aren't providing any services," one homeowner was quoted as saying.
Opponents of Governor-appointed emergency manager Orr haven't been shy about exploiting class differences to advance their cause. They irrelevantly contrast his lawyer's salary of $275,000 a year with the average pension of a city worker, which is $20,000.
Mayor-elect Duggan played the populist during the campaign. He said that if he is elected, his first task would be to convince Gov. Snyder to move Orr out so that Duggan and his "turnaround team" can do their work unhindered. Now Duggan has to find a way to get along with Orr.
The whole scene has a Wizard of Oz feeling about it: For all the melodrama being played out in public, there is only a rickety scaffolding behind the curtain.
The pension dispute is emblematic. The city's pension fund is $3.5 billion in the red, and Orr wants to cut benefits to close the gap. City employees and retirees have gone to court to block any reduction.
On the surface, it seems like the same kind of dispute that will be played out in many cities in coming years. But pull back the curtain and you see that the pension fund was treated like a piggyback until it went broke. According to the New York Times, the fund made payments to active workers and others, as well as retirees, well beyond normal benefits. The excess payments were often made around Christmastime, to cover holiday expenses or heating bills. A spokesman for the trustees explained this largesse as follows: "People were having a hard time, living hand-to-mouth, and we thought we would give them some extra."
MORE: 8 reasons why Alan Mulally is better for Motown than Microsoft
The city's General Retirement System board acknowledged in an affidavit that it gave out $756.2 million in excess earnings to active employees from 1985 through 2007. To fill the hole, it actually borrowed money, raising $1.44 billion in a bond offering. Not surprisingly, it has been unable to make interest payments on the debt. Meanwhile, Orr was forced to fire the chairman of the Detroit General Retirement System who took an all-expenses-paid trip to a pension conference in Hawaii earlier this year.
Unlike the auto companies, the city of Detroit isn't going to get a government bailout. It has to come to the realization that there isn't any money and then figure out what to do next. That's a challenge it has yet to live up to. As Orr said in an interview with the Wall Street Journal, referring to the pension debt: "We cannot pay it. Everyone has known that for the last 20 years, and no one has wanted to deal with it.
An enormous amount of energy has been debating whether the Detroit Institute of Arts should sell some of its masterpieces to help out. The time would be better spent educating the new mayor, the city council, and its 700,000 remaining residents on the hard realities of their situation. Just ask General Motors. Pontiac and Saturn may be gone, but it is getting along just fine.

Who's afraid of the iPad? Not LenovoAugust 20, 2012: 10:32 AM ET
The chairman of China's largest PC maker thinks the PC is far from dead. And his company has got the sales figures to back it up.
By Anne VanderMey, reporter
FORTUNE -- In an industry riddled with angst over the future of the PC, Lenovo is not sweating it.
Last week the Chinese personal computer maker posted another quarter of big gains in revenue and profit -- even in markets where PC sales fell. Lenovo has now nearly overtaken its largest rival, Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), as the largest personal computer manufacturer in the world. And while many in the industry are fretting about the soft global PC market and the rise of the tablet, Lenovo remains bullish on, well, computers. "The tablet is a good innovation, and a good compliment to the traditional PC," said company chairman and CEO Yang Yuanqing in an interview with Fortune. "Some say the tablet will cannibalize the PC. I have a different opinion."
His view? Consumers will move toward high-end computers and smartphones with a large screen, leaving tablets as an important niche product. The company even has a moniker for the coming age of computing: the PC-plus era.
MORE:The PC looks like it's dying
Yang's is one of countless predictions about a fast-changing industry. But in the last three years, his company has proved that it can read the tea leaves better than most. Lenovo has skyrocketed from global 9% market share in 2009 to 15% this year, almost even with HP at 15.7% according to research firm IDC. Its PC shipments rose 24% in the last quarter, the company said, compared with a 2% decline in the industry overall.
Those improbably large gains come largely from increasing sales in underserved markets. For example, last quarter Lenovo reached a record market share of 35% in China, where personal computer ownership rates are about one fifth what they are in the US.. In the US, that number is closer to 100%. The company has focused in particular on rural areas and small cities in China, where PC ownership is lowest. It has more than 30,000 franchise locations in the country. Urban-centric Apple (AAPL), by comparison, has six. Lenovo's reach is so broad in its home country, that where truck distribution isn't convenient, it sometimes moves its product via bicycle -- or even by donkeys Yang says.
In other emerging markets, the company's aggressive growth strategy has come at the cost of high profit margins, but has resulted in big sales. Market share is now in the double digits in 35 countries, analysts from Citigroup (CIT) wrote in a research note, up from 12 countries a year ago. The strategy of going into untapped areas has left the company with room to grow, says Yang, even as other companies are facing shrinking demand.
MORE: Samsung's secret? Ubiquity
Another growth driver, Yang says, will be the company's investments beyond PCs. The company's new mobile technology division now makes up 7.3% of company revenue, up from 3.6% last year. Lenovo sold 7 million phones in China last year, 5 million of them smartphones. Despite being a relatively new business, its smartphones have snagged 10% market share in China, second only to Samsung. The business is expected to reach profitability soon.
The company has also made a play in the server businesses, announcing plans earlier this month to partner with EMC (EMC) to develop servers for EMC storage units. It expects the deal could bring in billions in revenue in the next several years. In a note to investors Barclays (BCS) analysts wrote that "[Lenovo] has transformed from a PC company focusing only on China and the US enterprise PC segment," into a diversified company with a hand in emerging markets, consumer products, smartphones, tablets and servers.
But some worry that Lenovo is not immune to the woes ailing the industry. "They're doing much better than their competitors, but they're also facing the same environment as their competitors," said IDC research director David Daoud. "The question is could they continue to deliver the types of results that they've delivered. There are a lot of wildcards out there."
MORE: Sony: Down and out in Tokyo
One of those wildcards is the global slump in PC sales, another is a slowdown in the Chinese economy. China accounts for 42% of Lenovo's sales. The country's growth appeared to stutter in July, with exports increasing just 1%, down from an 11% increase the month before. "There is definitely some uncertainty here," Yang says. One of the primary reasons, he says, is government control over the real estate bubble. The other is that the global economic slowdown could impact Chinese exports.
But Yang added that he thinks neither of those factors would have a lasting impact. "Long-term, I'm still optimistic on the Chinese economy, and the PC market," he said.
In China, PC shipments declined 3%,while Lenovo's PC shipments in the country grew 9%. Part of that success, Yang says, is knowing the market. Instead of using donkeys and bicycles to move product to cities off the beaten path, American companies might try to hire a carrier such as FedEx (FDX) to make deliveries at a greater cost. Lenovo also knows how to strategically advertise in smaller Chinese cities, rather than having to rely on an ad company such as Saatchi & Saatchi to navigate the landscape for them, as an American company might.
MORE: The Big Apple's Big Data advantage
Indeed, Lenovo's advantage in China seems to be that it is a local player that understands its home market but boasts a product that's sophisticated enough to go toe-to-toe with its U.S. counterparts. (The same could be said for Yang, a 47-year-old Chinese native who arrived at the interview slightly breathless in an open-collared, stylish purple shirt. His staffers call him by his first name, or Y.Y., a practice many Chinese CEOs would not tolerate.) As a result of its local edge, Yang welcomes the competition and says he'll even explain his playbook on logistics and marketing to rural customers. But he adds: "Even if I told them how to do that, they couldn't."

Bukhara - is the ancient oasitic city surrounded with two deserts - Kyzyl Kum and Karakum , through which passed the Great silk way.. They say that the sun is favorable to Bukhara and therefore it is considered "sacred". Throughout many centuries this city was the center of Islamic religion and trade, having received the name among Muslims ""Bukhara-and-Sharif" " or ""Sacred Bukhara"" (one of seven sacred cities of Islam). The city is famous for impressive architecture and history. This one of the few places in Central Asia where the person can feel as antiquity heart.
The majority of 250 000 locals are members of families of those who lived here many centuries back.
The city was founded in the I century AD. By then, as Bukhara was taken by Arabs, at the beginning of the VIII century, it already was the important shopping and cultural center. During board of Arabs and the Persian dynasty samanidov which kept the city in the power in IX-X вв, it there was a leading center of Islamic religion. Later Bukhara was captured by Karakhanidami, and in 1555 it became the capital of the Uzbek khanate. But in 1868 Bukhara was attached to Russia. From 1924 to 1991 the city was part of the Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic (UZSSR). And in 1991 Uzbekistan became the independent republic.
All city, it is possible to tell, it is overflowed with sights.

Khiva is situated in the south of Khorezm Region in Uzbekistan. It is the only ancient town in Central Asia to have lived through the ages and remain in its entirety. The history and architecture of Khiva are closely bound up with that of Khorezm - a cultural centre which existed long past in the north of Uzbekistan. Ancient Khorezm civilization can be traced back to the Neolithic age (4th — early 3rd millennia B.C.). The Khorezm oasis came into existence in the vast fertile delta of the Amu-Darya - a great Central Asian river which flows into the Aral Sea. In former ages irrigation was expanded by the construction of canals which resulted in the emergence of towns with a thriving culture of the slave-owning system. Major tasks in town-building, advanced by the State of the Ahmenids, led to the building of towns which were mighty strongholds, right-angled in shape with fortified walls, turrets and gates on axes. The size of these relics proves that their builders were masters of geometry and made use of different systems of proportionality. The simplest of these was the ratio between the side and diagonal of a square. The Kalaly-gyr strongholds (700+ 1000 meters) and the town Toprak-kala (350 + 500 meters), which was quarter its size, were built to this scheme in Khorezm.

Austin >Event Planning > Iron Cactus Mexican Grill
606 Trinity St, Austin, TX | Directions 7870130.267134 -97.739312
Sun 10am-10:30pm, Mon-Thu 11am-10:30pm, Fri 11am-11pm, Sat 12pm-11pm
Neighborhoods: Downtown
Stuffed. Avacado. – Get the stuffed avacado. Seriously, it's delish. I went for lunch with my coworkers and didnt talk the whole time because I was stuffing my face. :) Also, their brunch on Sunday is fabulous too!
Execellent Lunch Spot! – Checked out the Iron Cactus this afternoon for lunch and I was really impressed. The restaurant was spotless and clean and our food and service was great! Being located in the heart of Downtown Austin, it's really difficult to park and walk right in, but if you work in the area, I would recommend the trek to IC. Oh, and the Baja Fish Tacos were excellent!
Creepy Waiter – Have been here before and I really like it, which is why I thought it would be a great place to take a girl I had been on several dates with before going out. Our server,"Foster"(?) lingered around our table, even squatting down to make himself more comfortable. He addressed me as "man,buddy,chief" everything but sir. Not only this, he was covered in sweat and did not smell nice.We told him we were fine and hoped he would leave and let us enjoy our meal, but I don't think he got the hint. We asked to speak to a manager, but he told us "he pretty much was a manager." At this point we just had to laugh and walk away. We would go back, but would request to not be in this little creepy guys section.
Citysearch Editorial Review – This spot has established itself as one of downtown's major upscale, yet moderately priced, restaurants. The interior is ironworks industrial, with minimal decor and large windows that encourage people-watching. There's always the rooftop deck, with a mister in the summer and heaters in the winter. As with most Sixth Street restaurants, a lunchtime crowd of businesspeople filling up on chicken flauta with Spanish rice. At night, students come for more than 80 tequila options.
Great Guacamole and Margaritas – If you are looking for a great tex-mex option in downtown, the Iron Cactus will not disappoint. The gaucamole is delicous and they have more brands of tequila than you can decipher.
The roof-top is a great place to hang-out and is really the best place to eat on east 6th street in my opinion.
Good selection of salads too!
Tequila – I love tequilla and read that the Iron Cactus has one of the largest tequilla selections. I think around 70 different kinds. While walking around 6th street we stopped in to try some. The bartender knew his tequillas and was able to point us in the right direction for one of the best margaritas I have had. We followed this by splitting a tequila flight. Good times.
Great Karaoke Night! – We were seated right away last Wednesday for their new karaoke night. The service was great. They brought our margaritas and queso right away. The queso was really good. This place knows how to make a good margarita. The stage was never empty . I must say there was some pretty good talent for the most part. I even got up once to sing a song. My girlfriend and I had a great date night and we both recommend the Iron Cactus up North to friends.
mmm mmm good – My husband and I went to Iron Cactus and we recomend the place to everyone! I had the Cancun Fillet and he had Lobster Ravioli. The margeritas were soo good.
The Best Food! – Me and my boyfriend went here for dinner and absolutely loved the food! I had the Enchiladas with the Salsa Colorado and he had a Pork tenderloin dish...we both talked about how good that food was the rest of the trip! LOL...Service was great and since we were out-of-towners, they gave us great advice about what bars/clubs to go to on 6th Street. Next time we go back to Austin, we will definitely eat there again.
New Years Eve – I left my car at home intentionally.
Iron Cactus advertised that they would be open "well after midnight" (or something like that). Suddenly they turned up the lights in preparation for a 02:00 close. I started calling Yellow Cab repeatedly, but couldn't get through. Despite having tipped them well, the Iron Cactus employees acted as if transportation was my problem. I told them I would stay inside the building (regardless of what they wanted) until my transportation was arranged or until the police showed up (having faith that the police would simply give me a ride home). My attitude was that Iron Cactus had some responsibility for my well-being. Finally, a busboy gave us a ride home. Next year, I will choose the venue.

Folks around here might know because Donoho graduate Tyler Siskey recently received such recognition for playing that off-field role on Alabama's staff.
FootballScoop.com recently named Siskey its director of player personnel of the year. Officially listed as assistant director of player personnel, Siskey beat two other finalists -- South Carolina's Robbie Liles and Ohio State's Mark Pantoni.
The role Siskey plays is similar to the one he played as Ole Miss' director of recruiting development in 2012. At Ole Miss, he was the behind-the-scenes strategy man for recruiting and helped the Rebels land five five-star recruits in the 2013 class.
Alabama's 25 commitments for 2014 top team rankings complied by various recruiting sites, and Siskey's presence in Tuscaloosa might have played some role in the Tide land its next starting quarterback. He was offensive coordinator at St. Paul's Episcopal in Mobile when Florida State transfer Jacob Coker was a freshman.
A winnable starting job probably swayed Coker. Recently departed Tide quarterback AJ McCarron, St. Paul's starter before Coker, might have put in a word or two, and FSU coach Jimbo Fisher's history as a former Nick Saban assistant likely didn't hurt.
The bet here, though, is that Saban is pretty happy with his assistant director of player of personnel.

I come from a rural area in Alabama, deep in the bible belt. My family is very religious. I, on the other hand, think entirely too much to give in to Christianity as they have. I've done my research. I even took a class entitled Survey of the Old Testament because the Old Testament is not often covered in church. I have realized that religion is probably little more than fiction but I still relapse occasionally. I think this may be due to the fact that there aren't too many people here who see the world as I do and many people are very hateful towards people like me, so I feel pressure to conform. As of right now, I claim agnostic, except when I'm around my family. I have tried to discuss my doubts with some Christians, but its like talking to a brick wall. A very hostile brick wall. I need to know why others have chosen this path, and what obstacles they face if any.

I was raised hardcore Catholic, almost became a priest, and didn't become an atheist until I was 25. I still have lingering psychological issues that I deal with every day as a result. I first started to doubt while I was studying for the priesthood. The holy scriptures contradicted known world history and science far too often for me to be comfortable with dismissing. Not to mention the vast similarities that the faith of my childhood had with long forgotten mythologies. At this point, I started to dismiss organized religion, and simply referred to myself, privately, as spiritual. I hated organized religion, but still believed in a God.
This was, until, I heard the voice of Christopher Hitchens. In a misguided attempt to re-convert me, my parents bought me a copy of one of his debates with William Lane Craig. Hitchens mercilessly shredded Craig, and not only re-affirmed my belief that religion was evil, but also, any possible God that could possibly exist in unison with the universe we observe. Any deity which could allow the sheer amount of suffering that we observe every day is neither deserving of love or worship. From that day, I was an atheist.
My obstacles have been the vehement defense of their faith by my parents. My brother and sister are more on my side, but my parents will not be moved. However, they still love me, and I love them, so we avoid the subject if possible. I try to respect their views, being careful to remember that I once held them, not so long ago, and they try to respect mine.
What is important is to remember that YOU are the one who changed, so you must bear some responsibility for that. But don't let anyone treat you as a punching bag either. Stand up for yourself, educate yourself as much as possible so that you can more effectively defend your position, and never, ever, let someone get away with threatening you. You are a person, like anyone else, and deserve the same amount of liberty and protection as anyone else.
Good luck. :)
Wow. Rough time, eh? I'm really sorry to hear that.
I guess I've been one of the lucky few that's lived a life of not really giving a damn.
Right about the time they started talking about all the world's animals fitting on one boat plus some guy living in a whale for three days, I knew the gig was up. Unfortunately for me, those stories are typically told to very young children. I was probably five or six when I knew shit wasn't right. I was nine or ten before I stopped being terrified of Hell. Go Southern Baptists!
Like most teenage girls, I played around with new age woo and Pagan stuff. To this day, I still attend Wat ( Buddhist Temple) with my elderly Thai neighbor, but it's all for...entertainment value. Getting your palm read is fun. That doesn't make it real. Not anymore than going to the theater makes a play or opera real. I like the ritual and meditative aspects of going to the Wat. I have deep respect for the philosophy of Buddhism, but I see no evidence of well, any of it. In fact, there are a few teachings I outright reject, but going to Wat isn't like going to Church. Blessings don't come with lectures or sermons. Just a lot of kneeling, throwing sticks and awkward crouch-crawling. I go to spend time with my neighbor and because I enjoy the experience.
I've spent a great deal of time in a Buddhist Nation, a Muslim Nation and the mostly-secular U.K. When I did live in rural America, I got out. Fast. We might say this is a country of freedom for all, but that isn't exactly true if you're out in the sticks, huh?
I'm too outspoken and opinionated to live in a conservative area. It just doesn't work. The environment is hostile to me, and I'm hostile right back. My husband and I have been in Portland for about a year now. It's wonderful. My friends are all atheist/agnostic except for one, and she's actually pretty cool. I'm much happier in a place where I'm accepted for who I am. Maybe you will be, too. The only advice I can give is to move. Get out of the Bible Belt. I can't speak for every city in it, but from what I understand, the south is the poorest, filthiest, most impoverished part of America, anyway. You'll have far better opportunities in places with um.. a lower teen pregnancy rate and higher education standard.
No matter what, you've got a community here online that will offer you support in any way possible. Utilize it. There are people here that care.
"I need to know why others have chosen this path,"
It's not something I chose to believe - its something I accept as fact. There is nothing that I believe just because it makes me feel comfortable to believe it. I go with the facts - I listen to what the best minds in the world are telling us about our planet and our origins. and I'm always prepared to change what I believe when new information is discovered.
Otherwise I would feel like I was living a lie and that really scares me.
"and what obstacles they face if any."
My first thought when I read your post was similar to Angela's - I didn't choose to be atheist. I gradually got there by discovering more and more things that were untrue about religion; a perfect example of a "god of the gaps" that pretty much ran out of gaps. By college the god I believed in was only responsible for the initial parameters of the first existence prior to the big bang, and by my second year I realized that even this "gap" was just another mystery that had no need to be filled with a fictional being before being explained in scientific terms in the future.
I did choose to "come out" as an atheist- to publicly admit it to my friends and family. I do live in the bible belt (Georgia) as well, but I'd say the consequences were almost unnoticeable for me, perhaps because even though my parents are Christian, they're also very open-minded.
You do have to remember, if you ever get settled on atheism, that politeness is still important. Nobody deserves to be harassed for their beliefs unless it's in defense of oneself or of another innocent. :P
I tried to choose to be a faithful xtian but it was against my nature. Yeah, I put off looking at things too closely for a couple of years because I could see where things were heading and I had been given the impression that atheists were miserable nihilists. Also, I was a coward.
I stopped believing in God when the thought occurred to me that no good God would create a world that has as much suffering as this one does.
I became an atheist by accident! I was a hardcore Christian for many many years. I actually began challenging my views when a long time acquaintance became and atheist and I simply wanted to know what atheists believe. I joined TA and got my ass kicked for a while. I was simultaneously trying to meet life's challenges of escaping an abusive marriage. My faith offered no real solutions for this. I had to look outside my comfort zone and outside my Christian bubble of belief systems to see that there is a freer way to live and I wasn't living it. I had to give up the notion that "God hates divorce" and I had to stop relying on the Bible and prayer. I had to stop living in a state of confusion as I waited for God to answer my prayers and I had to stop relying on God and rely on myself because every moment and every action and thought meant the difference between escaping or not. I was determined to get out the first time. I was determined not to be one of those women who stays because "I love him and I think he will change..." You see I looked for the answers within my faith. I WANTED to "do God's will..." but it was never made clear to me what that was and everyone had a different opinion of what that looked like. NO. I had to determine for myself what that truth was for me and this truth came from within me. Not from a sky angel. Therefore I am now and atheist. Not because I want to be but because it is the only way for me to be after having gone through that experience. I cannot turn around and embrace my faith because my faith did not save me. I saved myself.
Ah Belle, why don't you move?
Damn fine question!
Also, IIRC Belle you are in one of the more liberal parts of the country, surely you can find a secular/freethinker group on meetup?
surely you can find a secular/freethinker group on meetup?
Hey good idea!!! It has crossed my mind. I have thought about moving too...but right now my job is going awesome...we'll see what the future holds. Anything is possible.

Baby Bjorn Toilet Seat Adaptor
" I had a chance to use this seat while on vacation. It is comfortable and my son had no issues transitioning from his usual potty to 'going' on this one. No complaints. There is a built in pee guard so no spraying to worry about. The handle makes it easy to take off and on as well as hang up when not in use. It is also easy to wipe clean and even give a quick was in the shower. " --tubbytelly
bumkins cloth diaper cover
"As other reviewer mentioned, this diaper feels damp on the outside after wetting. The snaps/fit on the front bunches up on my baby and looks bulky and uncomfy. So cute, the only reason I am holding onto it for the time being, but pretty much only put it on her while all the other diapers are drying. " --metalsmithmom
BABYBJÖRN Potty Chair, Blue
" This is a great potty - bought this for DD to use at home. We had the smaller all in 1 potties at the sitter's and in the car. This one worked well for home. Great non-skid base - helped DD to feel secure when sitting down herself. Nice high back...my DD likes to lounge and read books (Everyone Poops) while on the potty - so this gave good support. The rise in the front helps when DD lounging..." --kbvr
Bumkins Cotton Premium Prefold Diaper
" If you are new to CDing and want to give it a try start with these!! They are much easier to use than you think - YOUTUBE a couple of instructional videos to calm nerves. I love how versatile they are. They can be used as CDs, burp cloths, wipes, and dusting towels for around the house (LOL)! They are very affordable and therefore i'm not apprehensive to use bleach when slight stains happen..." --katy8ug
BABYBJÖRN Little Potty - White
" I bought this potty to keep in our van to use on the go. I love it's small size and how easy it is for my tiny toddler to sit on. The one piece design is nice as well and you don't have to take it apart to clean it if not all the potty makes it into the bowl. It is a little bit of a pain to dump out though, especially for poop. " --CrunchyChristianMama
Bumkins Cotton Preemie Prefold Diaper, 6 Pack
Absorbent and versatile, these rectangular diapers are long-lasting, multi-use and super affordable.

Osprey's Nest, 1902, by Winslow Homer (Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute)
Winslow Homer: Works on Paper
July 31, 1999 - October 30, 1999
Beloved paintings like Undertow and Two Guides represent just one portion of the Clark's collection of works by popular American artist Winslow Homer (1836-1910). Founders Sterling and Francine Clark were avid collectors of Homer's work in all media. For this exhibition, visitors had a rare opportunity to see such watercolors and prints as October Day and Osprey's Nest which, for conservation reasons, are normally in storage. This exhibition began with Homer's early images of idealized young women and ended with his powerful late works representing men and women struggling with the sea.

OSU Cascades - Hospitality Management Option
According to Google, Hospitality is "the friendly and generous reception and entertainment of guests, visitors, or strangers."
The Hospitality Management Option within the business administration major is designed to provide students with both fundamental business skills (as described in the General Business Option) and to enable students to think strategically about the creation of value in a hospitality setting. Students will develop skills in asset management, environmental scanning and competitive methods, and be able to assess cause and effect relationships about the forces that drive change and influence the competitive environment within this industry. A graduate from this option will have the skills and knowledge necessary to become a leader in a hospitality setting (e.g., settings with short-term overnight accommodations with foodservice operations such as resorts, hotels, cruise lines, casinos, amusement parks).

Jon Woods of SBNation's 'The Ralphie Report' was kind enough to answer a few questions about Colorado. With the termination of their head coach, and the release of next season's schedule, I was wondering how the Buff fans felt about the football team moving on. I have to say, they are in a good position to land a top assistant to rebuild the football program.
This is a good move by the brass over at Colorado. This reassures the rest of the Pac-12 that the Buffs are heading in the right direction, and will not tolerate sub-standard results. As all you Wildcat fans can attest to, a coach can and will make or break a team. Show some love to the Buff fans, because we have been there before.

Yes, Naruto can kick sasuk's ass at his current state. Its plain if Naruto can keep with Pain when J-man struggled, but that was a completly different situation where he did not know the other 3 pains. But what matters is NARUTO can keep up with Pain. But i am saying, was saying before
most people went sas-gay
, when Naruto does not have the following things:
1-Demon Fox (Yes its going to get either extracted or released from Naruto in the end). Take it this way, if Naruto was to die then Fox would die as well. And do you think Kishimoto would allow that, that all these Bijuu to die.
Also why have 7 Bijuu containers and leave Killer bee and Naruto. Please explain this to me since I can't understand that since how was the story was to progress to see what Madara plans if the Bijuu if not fully done. Am i the only one who thinks this way. Also Tsunade, is mostly likely to bring him back and die in the process, so the next Hokage can be chosen.
2-People who said Naruto can use Sage mode think, but they forget, its imperfect in battle since Naruto has to use clones. How long do you think Naruto has in a battle to do that, and not get killed as you have to be still to collect the natural energy.
So he would have other option of mastering it, but i was mentioning Pa Frog getting killed. J-man needed him to fight using Senjutsu, but where does it say that Naruto can use it in battle freely without their help. Naruto planned ahead before and thats why he is keeping up with Pain, or else how much time do you think Naruto would have to collect natural energy.
3. Also who is to say that Itachi's gift is not just one off. I mean how can you transfer something like half-your power, and in what form. We saw the crow thing and therefore we can assume it to relate to Genjutsu, which is Naruto's greatest weakness in battle.
I just wanted to ask if there was a possiblities that Nagato would give him the Rinnegan or some of its abilities or at least train him?
As i pointed out he is nothing bad in the inside like wants to kill people inhumanely but wants peace in the end. He is like Tousen from Bleach, a misguided person.
Naruto has a strong chance of killing Nagato out of revenge for what he has done or he can forgive Nagato and make him see violence and pain is not the true path to peace.
Rinnegan needs a sucessor since if Nagato dies, the doujutsu would be gone forever that was passed down from the original founder of modern Ninja art.
It is possible Nagato might not get killed and Survive to reproduce with Konan but does it look like it.
If Nagato was to die Kishimoto has to pass it down to somebody else, even if that person is not Naruto.
All i was asking is Naruto a likely candidate since they are related in many ways in Naruto world except by blood.
-Same teacher (J-man)
-Destined Child
-Wants peace in the end, so people can live happily, although the road to it varies.
Im not talking to u lol i was talking about KYF.

I worked at Wynn Resorts full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – The Company always focused on the staff. They were fully aware that without a great team, there was no Company so they made extra effort to see to the needs of it's employees.
Cons – It was very hard work but when you work under an umbrella of excellence, it is what it is. Expectations are high.
Advice to Senior Management – Continue to listen to your staff for they are a great resource in aiding the continued growth of the hotel.

DeMarini 2014 Vexxum -10 Big Barrel Baseball Bat (2 5/8")
The Half and Half bat that put DeMarini on the map, this thug has been crushing it for years and is as mean as ever. Vexxum was an off the rails, over the edge, radical departure from the status quo. It was the first of its kind and it has never slowed down. With a thickness tuned X10 Alloy barrel joined to the C6 Composite handle, it provides the largest possible hitting surface, has more pop and still maintains a light swing weight.

Joe Weaver, vice president of operations at RMC, said RMC Jacksonville had experienced growth in various service and treatment areas compared to the previous year. Weaver, who has overseen RMC Jacksonville since its purchase, provided the information at RMC's regular board meeting Monday. The Anniston hospital purchased RMC Jacksonville for $6 million in December from Tennessee-based firm Capella Healthcare.
Weaver said that compared to the first five months of last year, RMC Jacksonville has seen gains in patient testing, emergency room visits and an increase in surgeries. Weaver did not have exact figures of the growth at the meeting.
"We're seeing a similar trend in May ... this May could be our biggest month ever for surgeries," Weaver said of RMC Jacksonville.
Weaver noted that RMC Jacksonville did experience a decrease in general admissions. However, he added that many hospitals across the country are seeing drops in general admissions — a result of the still sluggish economy and rising healthcare costs.
Weaver attributed RMC Jacksonville's improvements to various factors.
"Certainly we have increased marketing efforts and expanded services," Weaver said.
Weaver said that RMC's reputation has also added the gains at the Jacksonville hospital.
"Our reputation has helped us and people know we are going to stay and do everything we can," Weaver said. "Our plan is to lend significant support to our facility in Jacksonville."
In its efforts to improve the Jacksonville facility, RMC recently purchased $150,000-worth of fetal monitors for the hospital.
Also during the meeting, Weaver discussed improvements at the student health center at Jacksonville State University. The university hired RMC in January to manage the health center.
Weaver said RMC was in discussions to hire a full-time physician by Aug. 1 for the health center.
"That will help increase patient flow and volume growth," Weaver said.
Weaver also discussed RMC's plans to open an urgent care clinic in Piedmont in early July. Weaver said RMC has hired Dr. Corey Gilliland to work at the clinic, which will be a 3,700-square foot facility. Like the Jacksonville hospital purchase, the clinic is part of RMC's ongoing efforts to expand its reach and become a more regional hospital. It is also currently expanding a rural health clinic in Roanoke.
The board also learned that RMC's staff had selected Jamie Harris on May 7 as the hospital's nurse of the year. Harris has worked at RMC for 30 years.

I worked at ITT Technical Institute full-time
Pros – Great flexibility in work schedule, ability to use your creativity in program and activity creation, control over teaching staff which created great learning opportunities for student from professionals actively in field.
Cons – Performance evaluation metrics are objective and leave no room for management wiggle room.
Advice to Senior Management – While establishing goals to strive for is great give management an opportunity to evaluate employees subjectively. Evaluation by numerical standard alone does not reflect the efforts of the individual.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Crusaders Drop Two to Open Mid-Con Play
Friday, March 24, 2006Valpo returned to action for the first time in nearly two weeks Friday afternoon at Southern Utah, and dropped 13-6 and 6-4 decisions to the Thunderbirds in Cedar City, Utah.
The Crusaders opened the first game strong, scoring a pair of runs in the top of the first inning, getting RBIs from Courtney LaFerle (Elgin, Ill./Larkin) and Ann Sievert (Davenport, Iowa/Assumption). But Southern Utah's big bats answered right back in the bottom of the inning, getting three home runs and plating four to take a 4-2 lead.
The score was 5-2 SUU in the top of the third when the Crusaders found another offensive surge. Shannon Robinson (Toronto, Ontario/John Redmond) doubled home a run with one out before Alicia Ashburn (Mishawaka, Ind./Mishawaka) plated three on one swing, belting her second home run of the young season to make it 6-5 Valpo.
Unfortunately for the Crusaders, however, they were done scoring, and the Thunderbirds were just getting started. Southern Utah took the lead with another four-spot in the bottom of the fourth and put the game away with four more in the sixth.
The Thunderbirds blasted six home runs in the game, including two from Marci Pratt, and banged out 15 hits off three Crusader pitchers. Stephanie Kelly (Plainfield, Ill./Plainfield) allowed eight runs and was saddled with the loss, while Amy Sauer went the distance for the win.
The Brown and Gold again opened an early lead in the second game, when Robinson drove in Megan Carroll (Eaton Rapids, Mich./Eaton Rapids) in the opening frame. Sievert extended the Valpo lead in the third, driving Robinson home with a two-out single.
After Southern Utah tied the game in the fourth, Valpo pushed the lead to 4-2 in the fifth when a bases-loaded single from Robinson plated Karen Korb (Indianapolis, Ind./Lutheran North) and Taylor Callahan (Pendergrass, Ga./Greater Atlanta Christian).
The Crusaders led 4-3 after the top of the sixth, but could not hold the lead, surrendering three sixth inning runs after committing a pair of errors in the inning.
Andrea Zappia (Indianapolis, Ind./Franklin Central) took the loss for Valpo, while Ashley Christiansen earned the victory in relief. Robinson went 3-for-4 and drove in three runs in the game, moving her season batting average to .440 with a team-leading 12 RBI.
Valpo (6-10, 0-2 Mid-Con) will get another shot at the Thunderbirds (4-23, 2-0 Mid-Con) Saturday afternoon, with a doubleheader set to begin at 1:00 p.m. The Crusaders open their home season Tuesday against Central Michigan, with a pair of games slated for 2:00 p.m.
