The Blue Lotus Plant (Nymphaea caerulea), also known by other such common names as the Egyptian Lotus, Blue Water Lily and Sacred Narcotic of the Nile, is a natural wonder that many have yet to discover. This tolerant little plant has been used for centuries by both men and women as an aphrodisiac as well as a remedy for general illnesses. Blue lotus traces have been discovered in autopsies of mummies of ancient Egyptian royalty.

As for their blue lotus, they carry the one product, their branded Captain's Blue Lotus, Nymphaea Caerule, in either a 12.5, 37.5 or 1250 gram package, staring at $15.99. Shipping is extra but these guys ship same day via USPS. Expedited shipping and international shipping is available for their products. Their blue lotus is a very good product and is sold by many other vendors online, but if you can get it from the source, why wouldn't you?

Blue lotus is known as the sacred ancient Egyptian flower in association to the Egyptian God Nefertem. The capabilities of Blue lotus ranging from being herbal, alcoholic, hypnotic and more has promoted its use in making drinks and substances that allow you to consume it for its effects. Blue lotus can be used as an alternative for marijuana and is even perceived to be grown inside houses. Blue lotus herb belonging to the lily family was usually grown on the lake and riversides in Egypt. It even has its roots in parts of Africa. It needs specific preparations to grow Blue lotus indoors. It has immortal references in certain parts of the world due to its characteristics to survive droughts.
Blue lotus Indoor:
The Blue lotus is an aquatic plant having aromatic flowers. Its leaves are green, waxy and need a lot of water for supplementing its growth. The Blue lotus herb cultivation at home needs the following specifications. You need to have a pot that is at least eight inches in depth and has no drains. It needs around four inches of soil. Take care that the diameter of the vessel is large enough. You could also use an aquarium for the container. The bottom needs a layer of dirt before putting anything else. The dirt has to sink to the bottom after adding water and it needs patience hence before you use the seeds. The more the water level the more effort that Blue lotus makes to reach the surface and hence use about four inches of water level.
More about Blue Lotus
Seeding requires you to break its hard coat. The Inside core that is to be put in the water one by one to allow them to spread on dirt. The seeds can sink to the bottom of the liquid in the pot or the container. These precautions are done to give Blue lotus herb the same environment for it to grow. The sand is to be spread over the seeds to cover them and restrict mobility. The warmth of the sun should reach the container to keep the water warm. The seeds will sprout and the flowers will appear. It usually takes a few days for the seeds to start sprouting. They have a strong reference to be kept at home with the beliefs of its representing energy centers as perceived by some religions.
There should be care taken to remove any leaves that turn yellow as they need to be removed for the health of the remaining leaves. Re potting of the whole Blue lotus arrangement helps eliminate dead conditions. There are water fertilizers available that should be added every few weeks. It is a satisfying effect for people who wish to plant Blue lotus at their home weather for its characteristics or usage. The Blue lotus herb considered to be sacred is often attempted to be grown normally but need a lot of technique and maintenance other than regular plants.

The Blue Lotus was considered as sacred by the ancient Egyptians. Though it comes from the Lilly group of flowers, but because of its resemblance with lotus plant and the fact that it grows in water too, it is named as Blue Lotus. It has slight narcotic as well as euphoric effect and is able to form hallucination at much higher dose. Though some herbs are said to be illegal now, buying blue lotus products is certainly not illegal.
It is reportedly said that blue lotus plant contains alkaloid called nuciferine in varying amount. This nuciferine is soluble in alcohol: but there is no proof of its being psychoactive. Because of its various effects and uses, it is applied in making useful blue lotus herb which is available in many online retailers for quite reasonable price. It is a fact that there are many black markets where the illegal herbs are to be found. But buying blue lotus herb from a reliable source will not bring a lawsuit of any kind. Many of these herbs have similar or sometimes even greater effects than the illegal recreational herbs present in the market.
The best way to start with the legal blue lotus herb is by taking a lower dose and then gradually increasing the dose until one gets his desired effect. It is not necessary that each person will have the same sort of effect at the same dosage. It may vary from person to person. It is recommended that these herbs should not be mixed with alcohol or any other illegal product or prescription drugs etc to get the best result. There are reports of some pre-extracted blue lotus products being sold as dried herbal powder. But it is of no use as it contains no nuciferine any more. So, one has to be very careful about purchasing blue lotus herb.
Having such extra ordinary quality of refreshing, healing, rejuvenating and enhancing sexuality, blue lotus plant gained tremendous popularity at present. The nice blue petals are just not enchanting, but they can be used along with the bulbs to give you a relaxing smoking experience. The blue lotus tea is not only good in taste, but it also creates a feeling of sedation. The blue lotus can be used to make tea by soaking the flower for about 0.25 grams per head in hot water. One can also enjoy the recreational drinks made of blue lotus plant.

Are you a lover of tea, wine? What about martinis? Then you must be aware of blue lotus - a product of the water-lily family which has numerous blue lotus extracts. Nowadays, it is used to create different concoctions that range from tea to wine and martinis. The Blue lotus extract is perfect for smoking. It has by far more a sensational effect than what you would get if you smoked the lotus flower. This is achieved by cumulating the blue lotus active alkaloids.
The Blue lotus 25:1 standardized extract has aporphine content as well as nuciferine that can be verified that as pure extract. It is made using high-pressurecarbon dioxide extraction method.
The Blue lotus extract comes in standardized and crude forms. Crude extracts are made out of products that have oils as well as tar and wax. These crude extracts can also be made from pure Salvinorin – A. Standardized extracts are much healthier since they are free of these contaminants. They are much cleaner too. By placing a solvent on the leaves, crude extracts are produced. Mostly, poisonous solvents may remain in the end product. Crude extracts in the blue lotus extract are heavily inconsistent. Quality differs between vendors and between batches too. Crude extracts that are found in the market as '5x' may actually be closer in real length to '2x'
Standardized extracts guarantee customers a high-level quality steadily. Blue lotus products include blue lotus seeds found in a farm in Nepal. Famous for their rich blue color, they are organic to the core and are on the record for sprouting years after they have been picked. They are used to build seed tincture. The other kind is the Blue Lotus Petal from Nepal. Mostly soaked in wine or tea, it is said to give a joyous feeling that permeates the whole body giving happy laziness.
The Blue lotus extract contains aporphine and nuciferine. It has healing qualities and good smell which made the Egyptians accept this flower. This extract is used for various medical functions and hence it can be easily found on web also. It is more convenient than any other dried flower. You can also use this flower with wine and hence you have to soak it for some days. You can put lotus extract in capsules as well and even you can rapidly melt it in tea also. There are lots of shops where you can find this flower at affordable rates. By taking the extract, you can get more effect than the plant itself.
It is necessary to find out the appropriate price of this extract as it is different in various shops. Every supplier charges differently and hence you might search on the internet and should find the reasonable one. In some of the shops, it costs 80$ and in others, it varies and the charges are somewhat high. Therefore, you might find out the real extract which is quite natural also. The lowest price of this extract is 19$. People, who use Blue Lotus extract daily, can know the quality of the product.

A Church on Every Corner? Abilene's Churches Work Together
By: Stetson
Updated: February 24, 2012
Many people around the Big Country say the number of places of worship makes our community a unique place to live.
"I think it's a great opportunity for those who have attended one church their entire lives to go out and explore other religions," says Eastland resident, Kelly Armstrong.
Abilene is well known for the number of churches the city has. It doesn't matter what your religion is, you will find a church in Abilene that suits your taste.
"What really makes West Texas, not just Abilene, is that people's lives are very heavily influenced by their belief in God," says resident, Carolyn Sandner.
Don Wilson is a pastor for the First Christian Church of Abilene. His church is also part of the Abilene Association of Congregations, a group of about 25 churches.
"Our goal really is to learn about different ministries and agencies in our town," Wilson said.
The group is made up of churches from every denomination. They meet once a month to talk about what's going on in the community and how they can help each other.
"So hopefully this association helps more churches in town know what needs to be supported. What needs are in this town and how we can plug-in and extend that ministry," Wilson said.
Wilson says it's important to them to work together, because it's hard to keep track of what all the other churches are doing, because there are so many of them.
"Cooperation, learning about each other, finding each other, learning about each other is really strong in Abilene," Wilson said.
But how many churches are there in Abilene? We called the officials with the City of Abilene to see if we could find out. It turns out no one keeps track of that number.
A simple search on Google found over 150 churches in the Abilene area.
"I think it's a good thing. It's why we live in this country," Armstrong said.
Kelly Armstong lives in Eastland but commutes to Abilene for work. She thinks the large number of churches, makes Abilene interesting.
"When I'm driving around Abilene and I see a little church that's interesting. It looks old, I wonder about the people that go inside there and what they talk about," says Armstrong.
Carolyn Sandner lives in Abilene for part of the year, and then spends the rest of her time in Austria. She says people here in Abilene are more religious than many of the people she has met in Europe.
"It's very much a part of their life in West Texas I would say," added Sandner.
Everyone seems to agree that Abilene is a unique city, where everyone seems to find their spiritual side.

The Case Against Delaying Kindergarten
I really wish they'd be the youngest instead. It's become common for parents to "redshirt" their 5-year-olds, delaying kindergarten for another year, particularly for boys. Schools let parents get away with this, but for some reason, going the other direction (starting kindergarten early) is fraught with the same angst that grade-skipping in general evokes in some people. Sure, some kids aren't ready. But others are. If a kid can read and write, which many gifted 4-year-olds can, what purpose is served by keeping them in preschool another year?
So I was fascinated to see an op-ed in the New York Times this past week from Sam Wang and Sandra Aamodt called "Delay Kindergarten At Your Child's Peril." The gist of the piece is that any advantage that children get by being delayed a year disappears rapidly, and that school, in general, is good for children. It helps their brains grow and develop. Some data has found that disadvantaged and advantaged children make similar gains during the school year, but disadvantaged children slide during the summer break, when they're not exposed to lessons. Enough summers can make a pretty big gap. It's not a huge stretch to believe the same would be true for starting kindergarten. The earlier disadvantaged children can get into full-time school, the better.
Gifted children likewise would benefit from more flexibility in when kids start kindergarten. While, again, I think the angst about grade-skipping is overblown, it can be harder to pull off to go from, say, 1st to 3rd grade in the same school. But when you start kindergarten early, it doesn't have to be a big deal.
I'm curious if anyone has successfully challenged a school district's cut-off date and been able to enroll a child in kindergarten early.

We were not able to convince our school board to change policy for our son (born in mid-November). We ended up sending him to a private kindergarten when he was four, and the school district policy allowed them to accept him into first grade early if he had already completed kindergarten.
Our son has some mild social and communication issues, but the early start in school was definitely good for him. - 6:50 PM
In Georgia, state law prevents districts from offering any flexibility. Children must be 5 by Sept 1 of their kindergarten year and 6 by Sept 1 of their 1st grade year in order for the local district to receive state funding for the child. Completion of private kindergarten will not allow a child to enter 1st grade early. (Some people will keep a child in private school through 1st grade and then switch to public.) The only way to enter 1st grade before age 6 is to complete kindergarten in another state and then move here.

I taught in a private school in New York City until last year. The cut-off for girls is October and for boys June. Even with this delay, some boys still ended up repeating Kindergarden. Having taught first through eighth grades, I could definitely see the advantage students had as the oldest in the grade, male or female. Compared to day care in the inner city, school is advantageous. School may be great but so is a stimulating, nurturing home life.
- Sharon said...
There doesn't seem to be much flexibility in our local school district, and the cut-off date is early at Sept. 1st. Even the school's coordinator for gifted education discouraged the idea of starting early, or, later on, skipping grades; she expressed doubts that children would be "mature" enough to handle being placed with children older than themselves. I'm so thankful we're able to homeschool!
- Maryann said...
Missouri law does not reimburse districts if they accept children early. (Except for Kansas City SD and Saint Louis City SD... I'm not sure of the exact logic for exempting them.)
We found out that the District (at the Principal's discretion) would accept our daughter into first grade if she had completed private kindergarten. The Montessori (pre-) school she attended offered a Kindergarten program and they were willing to accept her regardless of the birthday issue. Her birthday is 9/4, so she's not long past the cut-off, but she is the youngest second grader (and rather aware of it, especially around her birthday!) She's already in the most challenging reading group, etc. I regularly think about how frustrating it would have been for her to be delayed a year.
Since Kindergarten isn't required in this state, the district could have balked at First Grade entry, but then we could have paid tuition for another year and transferred her in second grade. At that point they have to accept it. When I thought it might be an option to explore, I checked with the district's policies online.
Her first grade teacher commented on some potentially age related issues, but when we probed, they were all squarely within the developmental range of first grade. I would attribute them to executive function issues she's honestly gotten from her parents or asynchronous development. This is working out really well for us, so far.
When I was a child my parents successfully pushed for me to be enrolled early (in PA) after the district administered testing. I think this really helped me. I probably would have been better with even more acceleration, however my parents weren't comfortable with that idea.
Good Luck! - 11:51 AM
Our son is late-September. He *just* squeaked in under the wire; the following year the school arbitrarily moved the cut-off to Sept 1. He was always the youngest in the class and while he was academically at the top of the class, behaviorally he was *right* on target for his age, and the teachers just didn't want to put up with it.
Here is a nice chart showing states that allow acceleration, including early entrance to K. I'm not sure how comprehensive it is: http://www.accelerationinstitute.org/Resources/Policy/By_State/Default.aspx
In MN, where I am, I think we could have successfully gotten our HG+ son into public kindergarten early, but we chose to have him go to K and then skip 1st grade. He was not interested in learning how to write, and kindy was a good place for that. - 5:40 PM
I feel like I could have written this article. I just can't understand why they allow kids to enter late, but not early. And I wonder about the challenges it presents to have kids who are socially and physicaly a full year older that the others. I would have had a difficult time if my son had been born just 10 weeks later and required to wait another year. As it was, I thought he could have started earlier. If I had to do it over again, I might consider homeschooling for K and 1st. grade material (which I think I could have handled), and then sent him to 2nd grade after he just turned 6. There's no law in GA about how old you have to be to enter 2nd.
I have a late July birthday, and when I was about to start kindergarten, my mother thought about holding me back. I'm so glad she didn't; I think I would have been bored and frustrated if she had! If a child goes to kindergarten and has trouble, you can always repeat a grade if necessary, but if you hold them back and they're bored, what can you do about it? I think redshirting is nearly always a bad idea.
Hi everyone! It is strange that it is up to the parents to delay kindergarten, but impossible for them to choose to start early.
However, I am so interested to hear from people who have accelerated their children, and years later hear how they think it has worked out.
In our case, our son skipped from the middle of 1st to the middle of 2nd (recommended by our public school, surprise, surprise. This is pretty much never done here). And then again in middle school, he (and a group of about 5 others) were subject accelerated in math.....skipped 6th grade math. I totally bought into A Nation Deceived, and was wholeheartedly a grade-skipping advocate.
Academically, this has been absolutely fine. Although I really question if it is the best approach. For example, with the math, I don't think the 7th grade math is that much harder than 6th--it's just a little challenge when they first skip to quickly fill in any gaps. Once they are caught up, they are still in a class taught at the same pace, same depth, etc. I would really prefer to see them take the top 20 math students and not skip them, but rather move faster and deeper through the curriculum. Ultimately, this group may end up 1 or 2 years ahead in the curriculum, but would be with age peers, and have a chance to work on more stimulating material. No need for them to be put with the older kids and then go at the regular pace.
I am starting to see the ramifications of being the youngest. Overall, it's okay. Our son has nice friends, and is fortunate to be on the tall side. But everyone else is hitting puberty, and I think his social and athletic confidence has taken a bit of a hit by being young. He's a slightly above average athlete for his grade, but would actually be a real standout for his age. Is athletics more important than academics? No, but I do think it helps with confidence, and social situations, which helps with leadership, which I think flows into all aspects of life. I'm beginning to wonder if we made the right choices. I guess I would make the same choices today, but I'm wondering if I'll continue to feel this way over the next few years.
I'm just curious if anyone who is 5+ years out from making a grade skip still feels it was the right choice, or has regrets?
Thanks!! - 6:05 AM

I'm about 50 years out from being grade-skipped, and I still feel it was the right choice. I started out as the youngest in my class so averaged about 18 months younger than classmates. I was also late to get my full height, so I was much shorter and skinnier than my classmates and my age mates.
I took 3 years in college to finish my BS at age 19, then took my time as a grad student, taking another 8+ years for my PhD.
My son, who is probably smarter than me, has not been whole-grade accelerated, but has had about 3–4 years of subject acceleration in math and science. - 9:16 AM

I also wonder why keeping a child back (particularly for sports reasons) is applauded, but grade acceleration is not. Red-shirting means that my early-fall child is nearly 2 years younger than some of his grade peers. It makes a difference. Teachers expect maturity levels to match the red-shirted kids, not the correct-age ones.
FYI-We have a friend in LM whose October daughter tested very well. My understanding is that the elementary school was willing to let her start early, if the parents chose to. In the end, they decided not to.
- Raising a Happy Child said...
I am SO happy that we were able to start my mid October daughter in K this year. She is in combo K-1 class and thrives there. Granted, she is not even 5 while the oldest child in the class turned 7, but she is really maturing emotionally and socially. I would definitely recommend going private-public route if there are no other options to keep fall children an early start.
Aly V said: "I taught in a private school in New York City until last year. The cut-off for girls is October and for boys June."
I wonder about the legality of that difference, even for a private school. Switch the genders. Or, better, change the second sentence to say, "The cut-off for whites is October and for blacks June," and you'd be talking big-time fun for lawyers who would just be festering to take on a suit against the school, and media that would encourage such a lawsuit.
Gender discrimination is as bad—though it seems to be acceptable for boys to get the short end of the stick. And the boys had to repeat kindergarten because...? They wouldn't sit still like girls without drugs such as Ritalin? Might we be seeing an example of a reason why boys are increasingly underrepresented in gifted classes? - 1:09 PM
My children attend a private school in the California Bay Area which does not have a formal age cutoff for exactly this reason - although the grey area is around the end of July, making most of these kids older than in our public schools with a Dec 1 cutoff. I am not aware of any other school without an official cutoff date (we have previously attended 2 other schools - public and private) - and it works brilliantly. The school takes a time to skillfully evaluate each applicant to determine who is academically ready to start kindergarten. They do not hesitate to recommend waiting another year, if necessary - but this is done after a thorough evaluation.
My son has an early July birthday, making him one of the youngest in his class, so I was a little concerned with him starting kindergarten this year. Although he was ready to start kindergarten by December of his last preschool year, I think that the trend of delaying kindergarten really had me doubting my observations of his readiness.
He had a tough time during the last half of his preK year - he was bored in the play based environment. He once told me after I asked him if he learned anything interesting at school that day: "Mommy, we don't learn anything in preschool, we just play". He is a very physically and emotionally intense boy - who needs a lot of stimulation. Since he started kindergarten a month ago, he has mellowed tremendously - I think he was just desperate for a more challenging learning environment. Ironic how more stimulation and activity actually calms some of these kids. So far, being the second youngest in his class has been irrelevant. Keeping him in preschool another year would have been disastrous.
"Tracking" has become a dirty word in education - most schools frown upon tracking kids by ability (even though this is exactly what gifted kids need). I think tracking by age with an inflexible cutoff date does the real harm. - 1:30 PM
Today is the first time I have read your blog and I was thrilled to see this topic and read the comments that followed. We are struggling with what to do with our son. He is a March birthday so he misses the public school district cut off date for early entrance (5 by Dec 1). The district was totally oppossed to having us enroll him at 5 and have him tested for full grade accelleration. So we are now in our second year of Montessori school. They are FABULOUS and we feel so blessed to have found this school, but we are paying a lot in tutiion. It was nice to know that there are others in the same boat and that we aren't alone in wanting to support our sons ability to learn at a faster pace than most of his age mates.
- melissa said...
We began homeschooling for this very reason and have continued for the flexibility in academic placement. We are continually re-evaluating, but it is a good option for our children at this time.
- Yiotula said...
I'm facing the same issue my 3 year old is September 15th and they always say, "Oh, he's so with it", "We can't believe how well he behaves" "He knows all his colors and letters and numbers" AND "he's going to have to repeat K3 because of his birthday (even thought it is a private school). So frustrating. Our state, FL, has the age limit as state law. It makes no sense. Test the kid and find out where they belong.
- childEngineer said...
This is a subject I think about a lot. In CA the cutoff is moving up by a month each year. This year is Nov 1, then Oct 1 and then it will settle at Sept 1 the year my daughter will turn 5. Her birthday is Sept 10.
Her brother, my oldest, has an April birthday and will start Kindergarten next fall after turning 5. He already reads, counts well past 100, can skip count by 2's, 3's, 5's, 10s, do simple math in his head and has an incredible memory. I'm worried he'll be bored with Kindergarten by the time he starts. If my daughter follows in his footsteps, I can't imagine having her start Kinder when she's nearly 6.
But from what I know, the cutoff date is strict in CA. I was thinking that if she's ready for Kinder the fall she turns 5, we could put her in a private school for a year and then transfer for 1st grade, but then we read on a CA website on this issue that she could only enter 1st if she's not 6 by Sept 1 if she attended K in another state. So private Kinder may not cut it. I plan to talk to her school when the time comes if she's ready for Kinder at almost 5. The state website did say that in some cases, a child can start school in the middle of the school year when they turn 5. It's not clear how to qualify for this option, but I'd hate for her to start the school year late because she misses the cutoff by 10 days. - 10:00 AM
- gasstationwithoutpumps said...
The California law explicitly allows gifted kids to start earlier. You may have a hard time convincing your school administrator of that, so better be prepared.
The relevant part of the Education Code is 48000 (b) The governing board of a school district maintaining one or more kindergartens may, on a case-by-case basis, admit to a
kindergarten a child having attained the age of five years at any time during the school year with the approval of the parent or
guardian, subject to the following conditions:
(1) The governing board determines that the admittance is in the best interests of the child.
(2) The parent or guardian is given information regarding the
advantages and disadvantages and any other explanatory information
about the effect of this early admittance. - 7:36 PM
- childEngineer said...
Thank you for the follow up, gasstationwithoutpumps. I had read that passage you quote. Are you saying the first condition cited is code for the child being gifted, or that there is something else about gifted children starting early?
Do you have any idea how to get them to consider your child gifted? Do you have to have them tested? - 7:43 PM
- gasstationwithoutpumps said...
I have no idea how to convince the schools that a kindergartener is gifted. Around here they won't test until 3rd grade, because they offer no services for gifted kids until then.
We didn't go for early entry, but for more challenge by direct negotiation with the teacher. For example, we had our son take a bilingual class and do literacy instruction with the native Spanish speakers. We also provided and graded Singapore math workbooks a year up from what the rest of the class was doing. - 8:04 PM
- childEngineer said...
I've heard that there aren't GATE programs until 3rd grade. I'm worried about my son getting bored before then and deciding he doesn't like school. I think we will take the approach you are taking. If he's not being challenged, we'll work with the teacher.
I actually find myself not actively teaching him more along the lines of reading and math because he's ahead of the curve as it is. Instead we are teaching him to play the guitar and read music so he's challenged in areas that won't be covered in Kindergarten. - 9:48 PM
Two of my children are asynchronous learners. In the case of my youngest, now 16, we were in Indiana and the cut off was July 1. He turned 5 late June and we waited. I loved having him at home and we did so many fun and educational things together. I did send him to a Pre K (just 2 hours 3 days a week).Part way through his K year, we knew it had been a mistake. We (and his K teacher) fought to have him accelreated to 2nd grade. NO GO. The school district would not even consider. After 2nd grade, as he saw he was languishing, I took him out and accelerated by home schooling for a year. Then we were fortunate to get him into a Lab school (one of the few left in the country)I think that if our local district would have accomadated us, we would never have moved him and as it turns out, it was the best thing. He is in his 3rd year of HS, 2nd year of AP classes, playing in his own rock band, getting lots of stimulation but also doing all the teenage stuff. He is heads and tails above the rest of us in intellegence but is very much our little boy. Some times it works out but things will be so much better when age (and birthdate) is not the main deciding factor.
We didn't want to send the kid to K early. It's full day K, and it's just as inappropriate academically at 4 as it is at 5.
The right time to attend for academics would have been a start of 18-36 months. Don't know about you, but I would not put a toddler/preschooler on a bus to fend for himself with older children.The US needs to change its schooling and place by instructional need, not age. - 5:03 PM
- nicoleandmaggie said...
We started early this year at a private school. (Birthday: Dec 29, Cutoff: Sept 1). He does half the day with kindergarten and half the day with first grade. Another one of this classmates goes with him to first grade. This school is one of two in town that allow early entrance so he's actually not the youngest kid in K, and the oldest is almost exactly a year older (birthday Dec 20th).
It's been a semester so far and he has been flourishing. His printing has become legible, he's learned it's ok to make mistakes (tempering his perfectionist streaks), he doesn't come home bouncing off the walls like he did when he'd outgrown his preschool. He's teaching my husband French. It's just been great.
He'll be allowed to switch to public school with the skip in second grade. They don't allow it in K or first. - 11:09 AM
- Simone Hawthorne said...
Hey Molly,
Do you know of any private schools in the Atlanta area that have a later cutoff? We live in NYC right now but really want to move down. But I don't want my daughter to have to wait an extra year to go to school the year she turn five when she's three and already reading. I'm trying to do my research now before we make any final decisions.
Everyone in this discussion makes such intelligent and logical comments, I almost feel that my comment does not belong here... but it does – big time.
The reason that the cutoff date has been pushed back is because older children raise the average grade and that is good for the teachers unions to show that they "improve" education and cover for incompetent teachers (but yet a paying member), and it is good for the states because of the federal money they get from the "no child left behind" act.
Talking about "family planning"... My advice to parents that don't want to miss the cutoff date – "roll in the hay" early, preferably at summer time.
That's it. It all boils down to money. Sorry. When money talks, intelligent walks.

The Treatment of High FSH Levels in Fertility Patients using Traditional Chinese Medicine
by Li Qin Zhao
FSH, or Follicle Stimulating Hormone, is a hormone that is produced and released by the pituitary gland in the brain and stimulates the ovaries to develop follicles, ripen the eggs and eventually release the eggs.
A baseline FSH blood test on day 2 or 3 of the menstrual cycle is expected to be below 10 iu/l in women with reproductive potential, FSH levels of 10-12 iu/l are considered borderline.

Skew only container, not content
I'm having trouble figuring out how to make the following layout work. I'm not restricted to pure CSS - I know JS will be involved to make it cross-browser - but a CSS solution would be awesome. Here's what I am trying to achieve:
I've tried the following code, skewing the container and then skewing the image in the opposite direction, but it just gives me a square image. Chrome inspector shows me that the container is being skewed properly, but skewing the image back makes it square again. Adding an overflow:hidden to the container kind of works but the edges of the angle become jagged. Here's what I have tried:
Please help! :)
Unfortunately, the jagged lines are simply part of the business at the moment. There are a few hacks to get around it. Here is my example of what you're trying to accomplish, sans hacks: http://codepen.io/ggilmore/pen/swFGf
I've done this before a long while back. What I did was Skew the container, than Skew the image inside back the other way. You have to do a little more work after that to get everything aligned but you'll figure it out easily enough.
Got this answered over on stackoverflow. TheDoc, you were close... just missing -webkit-backface-visibility tag, which I'd never heard of. Here's the solution:

I'm content with the 360 scene, screw the haters, both the PS3 and 360 are great together, leave the competition for the corporations and enjoy the content each brings to the table.
I just want my PS3 to have lv0 support (a fix once and for all), I have a JTAG 360 (offline) and a legit Slim for online, I am not here to corrupt anybodies online experiences, just let me play games.

All I want is the key so we can downgrade 3.56+ and we can play new games on 3.55 ...more would be great, but I don't need 3.73 CFW.

sorry about the derailment, sometimes i get lured into feeding the trolls ;-)
what strikes me with this 3.73 jb and the clarification of karo: it will be obsolete when 3,80 comes out. i was hoping for a possibility to install showtime and some emus on a PS3 that stays on PSN. That is all i ever want. |

To the Editor,
Ever since the Supreme Court ordered prayer and God out of public schools, Satan with his power of death moved in schools and the killing of school children has become a regular horrible event. Twenty children in a school in Newtown, Conn., were expected home from school but they went to Heaven from school. God trumped Satan.
President Obama said he was upset over the recent killing of school children, at the same time Obama sanctions the killing of thousands of innocent and helpless babies each year through abortion. Hypocrisy from Obama's mouth.
The anti-gun group will condemn guns and want more gun laws. Hundreds of people are killed by drunken drivers in this country. No one condemns the automobile or the state for selling liquor to drivers. It is not guns or automobiles that are responsible, the nation does not have God's protection because of the nation's sins against God, for they are many.

Leo: Clippers drop two in Louisville
The Clippers made a habit of winning close games in Indianapolis, but they'll fell victim to Louisville in a similar situation. Columbus was victorious in four games by five total runs in Indianapolis, but the twin bill in Louisville was a different story. The Bats swept the Clippers 4-2 and 5-4.
Jeremy Hermida played spoiler in the opening game, producing three hits including a homer.
The Clippers led 2-0 in the second inning after Jordan Brown and Luis Valbuena each took Bats starter Tom Cochran deep. That, however, was the extent of the Clippers offense.
Columbus also led early in the nightcap after scoring three times in the first frame against Louisville starter Scott Carroll. The Bats answered with four runs, three in the seventh, to take the advantage from Clippers lefty David Huff.
The 4-4 tie was broken when Louisville catcher Devin Mesaraco blasted a walk-off homer against Josh Judy. The Clippers fall to 4-2 and trail Louisville by one game in the division standings.
Columbus will return to action Thursday with a doubleheader at Toledo. First pitch is slated for 4:00pm.

This Old CFD House: Part I
This Old CFD House: Part I
I'd like to introduce my first guest blogger, Travis Mikjaniec. Travis is a colleague of mine who is entering the world of home ownership. Travis has questioned some of the recommendations from the various home inspectors. In a multi-part series Travis will debunk or otherwise quantify the value of the recommendations.Starting the process of buying a house is a daunting task. Beyond all the forms and stress, are all the inspections. I'm learning there are many household issues that relate to heat and airflow. As a CFD engineer, and a soon to be cash strapped home owner facing a laundry list of repairs, I wanted to prioritize and investigate the various issues using the various CFD tools at my disposal. So please follow along with me while I use some company time analyzing the various ills of my property in my series of blogs that I affectionately call "this old CFD house".
For my first investigation, I'll be looking into a problem discovered during the general home inspection. In California, most houses don't have basements, I think due to earthquake concerns. The houses are 2-3 feet above the ground on piers/posts and have a perimeter foundation. This under floor space is known as the crawlspace, and seems to be a common area for household issues, likely because it's out of sight.
Our issue is related to the heating ducts. In northern California it does get a little chilly in the winter months, so heating is still a concern. Our furnace pushes air downwards into ducts in the crawlspace that then distributes the air throughout the house via floor registers. According to our home inspector, the ducts should be 4 inches above the ground. Ours?? Directly on the ground in many spots. If you're like me, you're instantly thinking about how much worse heat loss from conduction is to convection. I learned in an army first aid class that one blanket under someone is worth 5 on top, but I'd never use this rule of thumb to infer that raising the heating ducts will decrease my heat losses by 5 times. Convection is highly dependent on airspeed so impossible to use general rules of thumb to estimate it in a complex system. Therefore I was interested in quantifying this heat loss using CFD. As I didn't know the exact layout of the heating ducts, or the conductivity of the crawlspace soil, or the exact CFM or BTU's of my furnace yet, I had to do some estimating. I created the entire house as a "system level" model, show here.
From that, I created a zoomed in model with a simple duct from the furnace room to the family room as an estimated duct line, shown below. I researched and found a typical CFM for a furnace is about 1000 cubic feet per minute, and estimated there would be about 1/5 of the air going towards the family room/breakfast nook/kitchen area, so the airflow through this duct was 200 CFM. I defined a set inlet air temperature of 74 degF at the start of the duct, as it would make for easy comparison by simply looking at the final temperature of the different cases. Then I ran 4 cases in FloVENT, our HVAC CFD software: a bare duct conduction, 2 inch fiberglass insulation conduction, bare duct 4 inch airspace, and finally 2 inch insulation 4 inch air space.
As shown in the table above, the world of thermodynamics is a strange place. Whether the duct is on the ground or above it, as long as it's insulated, it doesn't matter much. Because the conductivity of dry soil is pretty low at 0.36 W/m2K, it doesn't conduct much. Its conductivity isn't that much different than the conductivity of air at 0.026 W/m2K. Of course, this depends on a lot of the estimates I made initially. If the soil conductivity increases substantially, say due to moisture, then conductive heat transfer will increase. And, this is just a heat transfer point of view as we are ignoring key factors like if the insulation gets damp or degrades. But we also estimated the ductwork was in constant contact with the ground, a worst case scenario. Still, I know the ducts are wrapped with insulation, and the winter is almost over, so I'd like to procrastinate on this chore till another day, and now I have the results to prove it when my lovely lady asks me to get in that dark, muddy, spider filled crawlspace to fix it.
Join me next time when I investigate my leaky chimney flue. Home energy efficiency nightmare? Or a non-issue, hyped by the chimney industry's marketing machine?

The act of taping a toy truck to the end of your penis and anally entering a dirty lady. Me: Hey Carl, I truck stopped Gina last night and now my brother is asking where his toy truck went.
1. | Truck stop | ||
This can range from anything from a simple roadside diner to a mega-gas station. Usually located in rural areas and referred to by locals as the best place to get a decent cup of coffee, breakfast, lunch or dinner. A good truck stop not only offers coffee or meals, but also a great place that sells souvenirs and trinkets of the local area. Some even offer internet access and showers. Seedier truck stops offer lot lizards (prostitutes) as well. Gawd, this truck stop has the best, creamiest coffee!

Dodgers hitters are beginning to fall into one of two categories.
There are those who seem driven by little more than their basic baseball instincts, and those who, for whatever reason, seem burdened by the process of navigating each at-bat.
With two outs in the ninth inning Saturday and the Dodgers trailing 3-2, three instinct-driven hitters came to the plate against St. Louis Cardinals closer Jason Motte.
The first, Andre Ethier, fell behind 0-2 then lined a single into right field. Dee Gordon pinch-ran and stole second base.
The second, Luis Cruz, doubled over the head of center fielder Jon Jay, scoring Gordon to tie the score at 3. Elian Herrera pinch-ran for Cruz.
The third - seldom-used reserve Juan Rivera, of all people - hit a line drive that glanced off the glove of second baseman Daniel Descalso and onto the outfield grass, scoring Herrera with the winning run in a dramatic 4-3 victory.
"It was a good swing," Rivera said. "I didn't try to do too much."
Rivera said he was ducking into the batting cage behind the Dodgers clubhouse every other inning during the game, while his teammates were busy collecting just three hits in eight innings against St. Louis starter Jaime Garcia and two relievers - a page from a familiar script for the Dodgers, who scored eight runs in six games before breaking out in an 8-5 win Friday.
Back-to-back victories allowed the Dodgers to catch the Cardinals for the final wild-card
"Any time you got a close game, there's a chance," said starter Joe Blanton, who barely avoided dropping to 1-5 as a Dodger. "Look at our lineup. It's very deadly. It's capable of doing things quick."
But failing to play to their capabilities, particularly at the plate, has been the Dodgers' downfall in September. Until the ninth inning, they were 1 for 5 with runners in scoring position. Matt Kemp finished 0 for 4 with three strikeouts; even Ethier and his .922 September OPS was 0 for 3 before the ninth inning.
But Kemp redeemed himself with a clutch defensive play in the top of the ninth inning. After crashing into the center-field wall in pursuit of a Yadier Molina line drive, Kemp watched the ball bounce off and trickle back toward the infield. With the slow-footed Molina hustling for third, Kemp picked up the ball and fired a strike to the third baseman Cruz, nailing the Cardinals' leadoff runner and likely preventing a run.
"Yadi's not the fastest guy in the world; he doesn't have too many triples, but he was booking it," Kemp said. "I had to get it out quick."
"That's just total not wanting to lose," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said.
It made the walk-off rally possible, the fifth time the Dodgers have won after entering the ninth inning trailing.
Ronald Belisario (1-0) earned the win in front of an announced crowd of 42,449 at Dodger Stadium.
The starters, Garcia and Blanton, were almost equally effective for five innings.
Allen Craig belted a two-run home run in the first inning off Blanton to give the Cardinals an early 2-0 lead, but Blanton retired the next 13 batters until Garcia drew a seven-pitch walk to start the sixth inning.
After Jay singled, sending Garcia to second base, Blanton struck out Matt Carpenter for the first out of the inning. Matt Holliday hit a groundball to Dodgers shortstop Hanley Ramirez that could have been an inning-ending double play had Holliday not been ruled safe at first by umpire Dana DeMuth.
Garcia went to third base. Craig, a Southern California native who brought a sizeable cheering section, singled to drive in Garcia with the go-ahead run.
Blanton pitched 53 innings, allowing four hits, three runs, walking one and striking out six.
Adrian Gonzalez singled in Shane Victorino with the Dodgers' first run in the first inning. Mark Ellis' solo home run in the third inning, a line drive to the left-field pavilion, tied the score at 2.
After the Dodgers scored all eight runs with two outs a day earlier, maybe there's something to be said for the power of pressure. How else to explain a sudden, unpredictable, down-to-their-last-strike rally?
Ethier shortened his stroke to get the most out of an inside cutter on 0-2. Cruz said he "just tried to put the ball in play" when he doubled off Motte, who has 34 saves this season. Rivera complained about how he'd been swinging "too long" before going back to basics in the cage.
Herrera, the pinch-runner, said he put his head down and was thinking home plate from the time the ball left Rivera's bat.
"We're a good team," Cruz said. "Everybody knows what they can do."
