First off, let me say that I love the scholarship chart on this site. Makes it easy to follow the numbers for recruiting. The chart says that ISU has 83 players on scholarship right now. I'm guessing that it's too late to grab a late JUCO or transfer, so I would think that a couple walk-ons are in line to get scholarships. Who does everyone think will get the scholarships? Seems obvious that Bueker is going to get one, as he's a captain and likely holder for all of the kicking plays. He also can deep snap. For the other spot, I'm going to guess that they'll give it to a SR so that they can use it for the 2013 recruiting class. What about Drew Davis? He's running with the second team and has put in the time. The other options would be Matt Van **** or Luke Goodson. If they decide to give it to an underclassman, I could see guys like Gage Shaeffer, Jared Weaver, Tyler Leo, Edwin Arceo or Walker Woods getting the nod. Should be a large recruiting class for 2013 with around 25 recruits.
I would guess it would be Walker Woods. A few of those DBs play a lot of special teams and really earned it last year. Don't give it to the kicker until he kicks a few through the uprights.
Glad you like the chart! Hey I just realized that I made a mistake on it. I left Sam Tautolo off the list. He's sense been added, meaning that the Cyclones have 84 on scholarship at the current time.

The chart is great! Thanks for putting it together. On the basketball chart, does that mean we have one scholarship available this year?
Yes. That is correct.
Thanks Chris, keep up the good work!

"There are five real good recruits in the state. We got three of them. One couldnt get into school, and the other went to (the University of) Iowa...which is about the same thing." - Coach Johnny Orr
Did some research on this. Made a few calls. Pavlenko's scholarship does count for this year since he reported to camp. So the program is full. No scholarships are currently available.
Thanks Pavlenko. Really helpful good buddy.
And where are my points CW?!?
I would've said Tyler Leo with the love he has gotten in a few of the coaches interviews but Pavlenko screwed that up. Leo should email him.
I take back all the good things I wrote about Pavlenko-he is to be shunned by all who are true to ISU.
We win games off of hard work. We might now have the best talent in the league but we are going to work harder than everybody else. Georges Niang 7/2013 CYCLONE CLUB AND SUNSHINE & RAINBOWS JIHAD MEMBER

MTA Security Campaign
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority's Security Awareness Campaign helps protect the MTA riding public and valued assets through consistent public outreach designed to maintain awareness of the continued terrorist threat to public safety.
To date, the MTA has produced eight "generations" of the very successful "If You See Something, Say Something" campaign. First launched throughout the MTA's regional transportation system in late 2002, it is a collaborative effort the MTA has undertaken with City, State and Federal governments to give MTA customers the means to join the police and MTA employees as watchful partners, helping to ensure security within the transportation system.
The campaign is funded by grants from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which in 2010 requested permission from the MTA to use the slogan nationwide.
The latest update of the MTA's award-winning security awareness campaign, launched in April 2011, includes four 15-second television commercials, newspaper print ads, and posters on subways, buses and trains. It was created by MTA ad agency Korey Kay & Partners.

How the NRA Seeks to Influence the Makeup of the Federal Bench
Posted Jan 9, 2013 6:34 AM CST
By Debra Cassens Weiss
Corrected: The National Rifle Association doesn't confine its lobbying to proposed legislation affecting gun rights.
The group also seeks to influence the nominations of federal judges, the Associated Press reports. "Still in its early stages," the story says, "the effort is a safety net to ensure that federal courthouses are stocked with judges who are friendly to gun rights, should gun restrictions somehow get through the group's first line of defense on Capitol Hill."
The NRA didn't succeed when it opposed the nominations of Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan to the U.S. Supreme Court. But it was able to block two nominees to the federal bench last year, including New York State's former solicitor general, Caitlin Halligan, nominated for a spot on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.
The NRA "exacted its revenge" when Sen. Dick Lugar, R-Ind., supported Sotomayor and Kagan, the story says, spending $200,000 to support his successful primary opponent. But the group gave nearly $100,000 to Sen. Dean Heller, R-Nev., after he helped the NRA last year block a nominee to the bench in his state, Elissa Cadish.
Last week, President Obama renewed his nomination of both Halligan and Cadish.
Corrected at 7:05 a.m. to indicate that Lugar supported Sotomayor and Kagan.

Students should schedule the colloquium before the end of their eighth semester of graduate study. The colloquium, the capstone experience in the minor field or in the Concentration in Comparative Literature and Society, consists of a discussion of the student's portfolio. Three faculty members take part in the discussion with the student. For candidates pursuing a minor, the committee consists of an adviser with expertise in the minor field and two members of the Slavic Department selected by the student in consultation with the Director of Graduate Studies and the student's mentor. For students completing the Concentration in Comparative Literature and Society, the committee should include at least one member of the Slavic Department and at least one comparativist approved by the Institute for Comparative Literature and Society. The student should prepare the portfolio in close consultation with advisers and committee members, and should submit a final copy to all the colloquium participants well in advance of the colloquium. The colloquium begins with a brief (10 minutes) presentation by the student of his or her work in the minor field, and then proceeds to a general discussion lasting an hour.
The portfolio for the colloquium for a minor should consist of the following elements:

The HTFC Screening System with new ForeCyt software is making it easier than ever to screen and detect hits in microplate assays. This small yet powerful, benchtop analyzer collects 4 color fluorescence and 2 light scatter measurements on thousands of cells per second. Its simplicity, speed and automation friendly design makes it a powerful new screening tool for suspension assays.
• Screens up to 40 wells per minute in 96 or 384 well format
• Makes 6 simultaneous measurements on every cell
• Measures fluorescence over 6 orders of magnitude to detect dim and bright in the same reading
• Transforms raw data into usable statistics and heatmaps with our intuitive software.
The HTFC Screening System includes iDM – the IntelliCyt Data Manager to easily manage the large data sets associated with multiplate screening experiments. Since the data output is FCS format, data storage is minimal compared to image based screening.
Phenotypic Screening for Cells in Suspension
Utilize suspension cells like blood cells, bone marrow, stem cells or relevant cells lines to design multicolor phenotypic assays that will provide more information in your screening campaigns. The HTFC platform allows you to detect small populations that other platforms cannot detect reliably. Because you can rapidly screen thousands of cells per second, you can detect effects on populations at levels even below 1%.
Performance that meets the challenges of screening hybridomas, phage display or small molecule libraries
The HTFC Screening System combines high performance with ease of use. The optical alignment is fixed and the electronics are optimized for a wide dynamic range of detection, so you don't have to make voltage adjustments for your assays. This ensures reliable and consistent results –every day and with every user.

"One part is absorbed in the blood to compensate for the losses that are constantly taking place through respiration and perspiration, and all the material that Nature cannot use is rejected in the form of excrement."
Antoine Lavoisier
"He said it was artificial respiration, but now I find I am to have his child."
Anthony Burgess
"RESPIRATOR, n. An apparatus fitted over the nose and mouth of an inhabitant of London, whereby to filter the visible universe in its passage to the lungs."
Ambrose Bierce
"The prime minister is sedated and on a respirator. One could say his condition is grave."
Shlomo Mor Yosef
"We were on a respirator for a while - they were bringing the paddles out."
Skip Prosser
"One person was in the shower. One of the residents was on a respirator and they got him out and to the hospital."
David Peters
"He is not in a coma. He is on a respirator and he is heavily sedated,"
Marwan Muasher
"I thought he was OK, but he stopped breathing and they had to put him on a respirator. When I was able to see him the next day, he had bandages over his eyes like little sunglasses and you could see his heart beating and every vein through his skin - I was afraid to touch him because I thought he would break."
Cody Colvin
"All I know is that these two gases both had a quite extraordinary effect, and that there was no respirator, and no protection against them that we knew of. So the soldiers would have been unable to protect themselves against this gas in any way."

A new study by Emory University researchers is seen as a step toward the development of a vaccine to prevent HIV infection. In the team's experiment, an injection protected monkeys against repeated exposure to the nonhuman version of HIV. The results were presented in Seattle at the 19th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections.
The injection uses HIV proteins to prime the body against a viral attack, as well as a protein, GM-CSF, that triggers the immune response, causing the body to release antibodies blocking HIV from entering the cells.
The monkeys received two injections, followed by two booster shots each two months apart. Beginning six months later for a 12-week period, the animals were repeatedly exposed to simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV). "Repeated challenges in animals are used to mimic sexual transmission," said co-author Dr. Harriet Robinson, of GeoVax Labs.
The injection was found to be 87 percent effective per exposure; overall protection was 70 percent. "The hope is that the results in nonhuman primate models will translate into vaccine-induced prevention in humans," Robinson said.
This good news follows a recent study by a Harvard University team, which reported that a mixture of vaccines reduced monkeys' risk of SIV infection by more than 80 percent. Further, in those that did become infected, the vaccine combination "substantially" reduced SIV levels in the blood.

Kasperek Selected for MCC Placement
Leigh Kasperek has been selected as one of two European representatives to spend 14 days with the MCC's Women's Young Cricketers at Lords. During the two weeks Leigh will be training daily under the watchful eye of head coach Alan Duncan and will play in MCC Women's YC's game schedule.
On hearing of her selection Leigh was understandably delighted "When I found out that I'd been nominated I was chuffed to bits, but when Kari told me I'd actually been selected I was ecstatic. The girls who are full time with the MCC YC wake up every morning and get to train at Lords, I feel privileged to be a part of this for two weeks.
Gordon Drummond, my Coach with the Edinburgh Sport Academy, and my club, Carlton, have really been an integral part of my cricketing development so far. The MCC YC is an amazing opportunity for me to play with some of the best young female cricketers in England and learn under highly experienced coaches. Hopefully, I can soak up as much experience as possible and bring it back to share with the girls, as we strive to win the European Championships mid-August".
Leigh plays regularly for Carlton Cricket Club in male cricket and has been a regular in the Scotland Senior Women's team since she was 14. A hard hitting batter Leigh is starting to produce results on the park and scored 41 for the Wildcats in their first game of the season against Devon. Formerly a medium pace bowler Leigh is now bowling off spin with great success. This season Leigh has taken 15 wickets for her club team and claimed 2 wickets for the Wildcats in their last outing.
Women's Cricket Manager Kari Anderson commented on Leigh's selection saying "Leigh is a talented and hard working young cricketer, and this will be a great opportunity for her to train and play in a fantastic performance environment. This is not just a boost for Leigh but also for everyone involved in the women's game in Scotland. It shows that with a bit of hard work, opportunities are available."

Scottish Wildcats first fixture of 2011
Intermittent rain, rain and more heavy rain washed out a little over 20 overs of play in the Wildcats first ECB Women's County Championship game of the season at Axminster Town CC against Devon CCB Women.
Newly appointed Wildcats skipper, Abbi Aitken, called correctly at the toss and inserted the hosts on a softish green-top. Veteran Kathryn White playing her 67th game for Scotland opened the bowling Olivia Rae who was playing her 1st. Aside from the occasional leg-side delivery, which are immediately punished by the umpires, neither gave anything away and gave good intent for the season bowling a nagging off stump line giving both openers little room to manoeuvre the ball.
On the occasions when either Devon opener sought to break free from the White-Rae shackles the fielders were up to the challenged swooping on and preventing any scoring opportunities. In the sixth over Rae got the ball to pop and all Devon opener Carr could do was parry the ball into the safe gloves of Charlotte Bascombe with the score on just 9.
White and Rae continued to press and force further mistakes from the home batters but Scotland's advantage was not pressed home as two sharp chances – to slip and point failed to stick – with less than 20 on the board. It is a truism in cricket that 'catches win matches' but at this level chances that are created must be taken.
The introduction of Leigh Kasperek's off-spin in the 14th over gave Devon some respite from the Scotland openers though, in truth, both had begun to tire in their final overs. However, although both Cranstone and Harris used their feet intelligently to Kasperek their running between the wickets left a lot to be desired and both Anderson and Kasperek (off the bowling of Aitken) had run-out chances that on any other day would have seen the batters back in the pavilion.
When Wilkinson replaced Aitken in the 21st over the heavens opened and put paid to any further action save for the frantic dash for cover.
National Coach Kari Anderson was pleased with what she had seen; 'despite only twenty overs possible today I have seen enough to know that we are going in the right direction. I am now also clearer on a couple of issues that had been outstanding before the start of the days play.'

STOUGHTON, WI – In case you haven't noticed, the Midwest is currently wrapping up its 2008 season with end of year multi-day specials. The one that started it all happens this weekend with the 43rd Annual National Short Track Championships at Rockford Speedway.
Started in 1966, the idea was to get the drivers from central Wisconsin to take on the Chicagoland drivers in an end of year special event. Dick Trickle was the inaugural winner of that event. In fact, if you ask Trickle what he got paid, he can give you the exact number because Rockford Speedway Promoter Hugh Deery paid him in $5 bills. Trickle would also pick up NSTC championships in 1978, 79.
Since that first event, some of the most famous drivers in racing (some who are running in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series today) have competed at NSTC.
In 1977, a young driver from Batesville, Arkansas came up and won. Today, Mark Martin is one of the most well respected drivers in NASCAR. A few years ago, I was able to catch up to the 1977 champ and asked him about his NSTC win. A huge smile came upon him and he talked about how he remembered that as it was yesterday. He considers his NSTC win in the same context of a driver winning the Daytona 500.
The NSTC is a great example of what "tradition" means in auto racing. It's always held at the same time of the year. When a driver comes to compete in an event like this, it's not because of the purse that moved them to come and race, it's because it's an opportunity to get their name included on a list of great drivers from the past and present. That driver name will, forever, be on the list of a famous event. And if that famous event ever goes away, racing historians will document what that event was like and will always include a list of champions.
That list will be passed on from generation to generation just like famous stats and records in baseball, football, etc. Racing has either an equal or longer history than other major sports in the United States. Whether it's on the local, regional or national level, when you get your name on a champions list of a famous event, its worth more in the long run than the check they take home the day they won the event.
Martin is just one of many names to be on the list of NSTC champions. Others include: Marlin Walbeck (1967), Whitey Gerkin (1968), Ramo Stott (1969), Wayne Stallsworth (1970), Bill Retallick (1971), Joe Shear (1972, 74, 75, 82, 83, 85, 87, 97), Mike Miller (1973), Dave Watson (1976), Jim Sauter (1980), Junior Hanley (1981), Al Schill (1984), Mike Alexander (1986), Johnny Ziegler (1988), Tim Fedewa (1989), Rich Bickle Jr. (1990), Butch Miller (1991), Steve Carlson (1992, 93, 95, 96, 98, 99, 2000), Scott Hansen (1994), Eddie Hoffman (2001, 04, 05), Ron Breese Jr. (2003), and Jeremy Lepak (2006, 07).
The 43rd edition will take place over three days. On Friday, September 26th the racing action will get underway at 7:07 pm with the American Short Trackers, All-American Sportsman, Weekly Warrior Late Models, RoadRunners, and Hornet Bandit Challenge having feature events.
Saturday will be a busy day as the Super Late Models will have their qualifying races and the Big 8 Series will compete in a 108-lap feature event. The USST Super Trucks, Area Sportsman, Hobby Stox, and Illinois Vintage Racing will also have feature events with the racing action getting underway at 5:05 pm.
Sunday will be the day where the 2008 NSTC champion will be crowned as the Super Late Models will take to the high-banked quarter-mile oval in a 200-lap feature event. Last year's event saw a lot of action in the final 50-laps; one has to wonder what will happen this season. Plus, Jeremy Lepak will also attempt to become the first driver since Steve Carlson did it in 2000 to win the event three years in a row.
The Mid-American Series will also be competing in a 75-lap feature event.
If you are a fan of short track racing, this is one event you need to see. The competition level is high, its classic short track racing, and it's at one of the more famous racetracks in the country. For more information, please visit www.rockfordspeedway.com.

Apple Cider Vinegar Remedy for Sinus Infections
Folk Medicine Ingredients:
- Apple Cider Vinegar - 1 Tablespoon
- Water - 16 Ounces
- Honey (optional)
The apple cider vinegar tonic, taken two or three times a day, can quickly break up congestion, kill pathogens, and improve other sinus infection symptoms as well. Add one tablespoon each apple cider vinegar and honey to a 6 to 10 oz glass of warm water, and drink.
Organic Apple Cider Vinegar is our favorite remedy for stopping sinus infections. We wish more people knew about this amazing home treatment. The idea is to take apple cider vinegar before the sinus infection occurs, which for most people is at the start of allergies, colds, flu, etc.
We have found that when apple cider vinegar is taken either as a daily tonic or at the first sign of an allergy or cold (i.e., sinus headache, stuffy nose, watery eyes), one can completely stop the histamine response or allergic reaction.
There are a couple ways you can drink apple cider vinegar ("ACV"). One way is to put 1/8 to 1/4 cup ACV in 16 oz of water and sip it throughout the day. The other method is to gulp 2 TBSP of ACV in 8 oz of water all at once.
If you have an existing sinus infection, keep drinking a mixture of ACV and water throughout the day for several days.
Please remember -- the key to success is to use apple cider vinegar before a sinus infection appears (i.e. during the first stages of a flu or allergy attack, or after you've eaten a bowl of ice cream).
Question: Why does ACV alleviate sinus congestion so quickly?
Answer: ACV thins mucus almost immediately. One of the first things you will notice after drinking apple cider vinegar is that the color of your mucus goes from white or green and thick, to thin and clear. The thinning of mucus is the key to kicking your sinus infection. Once you have thin mucus, you can clobber the infection with one of many remedies from this page. Wild oregano oil is one of our favorites for bacterial infections, but grapefruit seed extract is also very potent. Whatever remedy you try, remember to keep up the apple cider vinegar throughout the day for several days and drink lots and lots of water.
[YEA] 08/16/2012: Skeptic To Believer from Chicago, Il: "I had to add my success with ACV for sinus infections. I recently got hit quickly with a sinus infection after having travelled on a long flight. I've been a sufferer for several years now and have always gone to the doctor for a script. Never again! This worked so well! The infection hit me Tues morning and I knew I wouldn't be able to get in to see my doc - plus, I was so tired of being bound to going to the doc and to prescriptions every time this happened. I found this site and got the recipe for a couple of TBSP ACV (organic, raw, unfiltered with the "mother" - that's the key), warm water and honey. I eyeballed the amounts and took the first cup on Tues night. I couldn't believe that I slept through the night - that never happens with the onset of a sinus infection. I continued to drink 3-4 cups throughout the day on Wed. By Wed night, I was feeling fine. Fine!! I will continue to drink it today because I'm not quite 100% yet, but I am stunned by the effectiveness of this natural remedy! Very happy to report a very enthusiastic "yea". Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
[YEA] 08/02/2012: Shawn from Ny: "I have been suffering from mulitple sinus infections for the past year now. I took antibiotics over and over just as soon as it would work a week or two later it was back. I came upon this site and decided to give Apple Cider Vinegar a try thinking it was better than a run to the emergency room. I took the 2 tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinegar with 8oz of water and abracadabra just as simple as that it was gone.......... Definitely, definitely, definitely works. Im so thankful for this site."
Replies08/05/2012: Freezekewl from New York replies: "Shawn, when you say you "took" apple cider vinigar, what do you mean? Do you mean you ingested it orally or used it in a neti pot by irrigating through the nose?"
09/20/2012: Allison from Cheonan, South Korea replies: "Netipots should only be used with water and the salt sold with it! Drink the ACV."
07/11/2012: Android from Vancouver, Canada: "I get chronic sinus infections and my best remedy starts with apple cider vinegar, I also take echinacea and use a saline rinse. Always make sure to drink lots of water and I find that if I lay on the couch or in bed the mucus turns thicker and more stagnant, whenever I get a sinus infection I make sure to alway keep moving, nothing too intense just keep busy doing things around the house or going for small walks.
If you follow this routine as soon as you feel the start of a sinus infection it will be gone quickly, sometimes in my case it only lasts for a day or too."
[YEA] 07/01/2012: Rachel from Plainfield, Illinois: "I had a wicked sinus infection. The pressure was all through my face, head, and ears. It felt like my head was going to explode! I went to the doctor but they wouldn't see me because I couldn't find my insurance card (blessing in disguise). I came home (totally upset and crying which doesn't help! ) and Googled how to get rid of a sinus infection without antibiotics and I found this wonderful website. I get an infection about 1-2 times a year and off to the doctors for antibiotics I go. Well NEVER AGAIN!
I read through all the posts, then went down the street to our local health store and bought ACV with the mother and a local honey, all natural and raw. When I got home it was about 5pm. I made the drink- 8oz water- 2 Tbls ACV- 1 Tbls honey. I drank it slowly. Right away I was blowing out a bunch of gunk. It wasn't immediate complete relief, but this really does work. I drank a total of 3 glasses of the drink throughout the evening. I went to bed around 11pm. I just got up now and feel sooooooo much better. I am still not 100%, but all of the pressure in my head is gone. I am completely amazed!! On antibiotics within this short of a time I do not feel this much of a relief. WOW DOES THIS WORK!!!!"
Replies[YEA] 07/02/2012: Marty from Nevada City, California replies: "I can not believe this, but it is true. The apple cider vinegar (ACV) treatment is a miracle!! I started using it yesterday after reading the reviews on this site and by last night I was MUCH better. Did another "treatment" this morning and I'm almost 100%. I actually had enough energy to mow all of my lawn without any pain in my head... yipee and thanks."
[YEA] 05/19/2012: Labs52 from Brownsburg, In: "OMG! I have never had a sinus infection before. it has been a week now and I am starting to feel worse... Just drank the ACV, water and honey...... And I feel better already. I will try more later.... It is 10pm.... Thank you for the suggestion. I NEVER get sick... And did not want to go to the doctor or take prescribed meds. Thank you Thank you"
Replies[BETTER BUT NOT CURED] 06/13/2012: Regi's Cafe from Miami, Fl replies: "Sipping my first tea of ACV with the ginger honey crystals, some local honey and hot water.... Already feeling some relief from sinus headache, runny nose, watery eyes and sneezing. I hope this does it. I hate meds. I will post update on my progress - thumbs up so far."
[YEA] 05/18/2012: Sophie from Seattle: "I had my first sinus infection which is caused by bacteria My symptoms: a stiff neck, headache and fever I had no idea that a stiff neck is considered a serious sinus infection yet I was not stuffed up at all. I had a facial rash during and after the sinus infection I don't understand how you get a rash from the sinus infection? Anyhow took ACV and zinc that helped tremendously."
05/16/2012: Jem from Clueless, Il: "Since Oct 2011 I've been ill. Sudden confusion and weakness took over and panick from not knowing what was going on. My vision gets worse, liteheadedness, and balance was off. Even tremors would happen and this extreme pressure in my head. I do remember getting sick later on one time which was very odd. Seemed like a cold but sooo dry and painful. It took so long to get a little better. But even after I still had these strong symptoms occuring almost everyday.
I've been to ER over 7x with no answers. Seen doctors who'd only try to give me depression pills. NO THANX! I've tried everything from stores. And finally I've come to think maybe it's a sinus infection? I've never had them b4.
Found this site and decided to try ACV. The 1st day I did my vision blurred up. I didn't feel good at all. (Yes I made the mixture correct. ) I felt soo tired and just went to bed. The 2nd day I drank it 3x I was finally feeling pressure release from my head. I couldn't stop sneezin and my nose was runnin all day. I even had a fever. And today I feel like I can see almost perfectly. Still sneezin and whatever but I feel a bit better. Just can't figure out why my legs are cold to the touch.
Gona keep drinkin it but my guess is that if it is an infection it's pretty bad. Probly take awhile to get through it. I've lost my job in 2011 cuz of this. I can only work 3days a week now due to how this has taken over my body. I'm close to losin this easy job 2cuz I can't function normally. I've gained weight cuz how weak I am. IT SUX BEIN ME!!!! I'm only 28yrs old.
Hopefully this is the answer to my problems. If it is I'll be in touch. I'm so desperate for my health to improve I hardly even remember what it's like to feel like my old self again. I never had problems b4. Pray for me please!!!!!"
Replies05/26/2012: Karatelady from Gainesville, Ga replies: "I'm trying the ACV today for the first time. It is so delicious with the recipe mentioned. Constant sinus infections and many other issues have been a mystery to me until I was diagnosed with Lyme Disease. It has so many symptoms its a hard one to figure out. Even testing isn't that good. I'm not well but at least know the root cause of the sinus issues."
08/25/2012: Tognem from Chorley, Lancashire replies: "hi I have just found this site yesterday and started the asv treatment with honey and water done it 3 times yesterday and felt the benifit lifted the banging head which had kept me in bed didnt clear the sinusis but have been bad chronic for 2 years so will probably take time but going to continue with it also cutting suger and wheat out to see if that helps. Nothing off the docter has helped and are refusing to give antibiotic now saying it is facial pain even though keep getting mucas a nd infection! So glad I found this site with all the good comments so keeping everything crossed it works for me :) will keep you informed."
09/12/2012: Sailchoc from St. Clair Shores, Mi - Usa replies: "With all your health problems and being so young, I would suggest incorporating some raw foods into your diet. You can look it up on the internet."
09/26/2012: Clive from Johannesburg, South Africa replies: "This is in response to Gem from IL,1.To clear the heaviness in the back of your head and neck, tie an onion poultice. (chop onions finey and tie in a cloth) Place or tie around your neck. After at least 4 hours it will help in clearing the congestion. This can be repeated as often as needed.
2.Dilute 1 teaspoons of ACV with 2 teaspoons of water. Place in microwave for 30 seconds and breath in deeply.
3.To completely elimate sinuses one must treat the cause not the effect. Try to cut out all wheat, barley and rye products from your diet. This will include bread, cakes, pasta etc. Rice, corn and soya are safe to eat. The reason is that wheat barley, oats and rye contain "gluten" which is like a rubbery protein that gives the bread etc its sponge. This protein can affect the small intestine in some individuals which interferes with the absorbtion of vital minerals into the body. I tried this diet for a few months and for the first time in my life I felt energetic and clear of my sinuses. Also you need to elimate diary products completely from your diet as doctors confirm that this adds to to secretion of mucus.
Heres to good health! Clive"
[YEA] 04/27/2012: George from Toronto, Ontario, Can: "Got a cold from my grandchild and it developed into yet another sinus infection. Woke up 4 mornings in a row with a pressure headache and yellow discharge. It was so bad I had to leave work early yesterday. I looked up natural remedies (hate taking antibiotics) and found some people swear by apple cider vinegar. This site helped the most. Wow! I have never seen anything work this well. Simply amazing.
I used 1 tbsp (or more) of raw, unfiltered, unpasteurized, apple cider vinegar with "mother" in a small glass of water every couple of hours. Found this at the health food store. I don't even know what "mother" is!
It is now 15 hours in - the headache is gone, I can breathe and my cold symptoms are disappearing. Note: I am also using chewable vitamin C tablets to supplement.
I had to share this with someone. I have suffered with this problem off and on for years. Deviated septum sometimes clogs up 1 side of my nose.
Replies04/27/2012: Jennifer from Sunrise, Fl replies: "George, check out the "Tomato Tea" remedy on the EC site too - another fantastic EC remedy for sinus congestion! I did both the Tomato Tea and ACV and my horrible sinus infection went away in a record-setting 2-3 days. Couldn't believe it! Hope you feel better."
05/03/2012: Jaylene00 from Ft. Lauderdale, Fl replies: "Thanks for sharing this! Only raw organic apple cider vinegar has the "mother of vinegar" that makes the vinegar so beneficial. The "mother" is made up living nutrients and bacteria. You can actually see it settled in the bottom of the bottle like sediment."
04/19/2012: Pat from Lancaster, Ny: "I am on my second cup of ACV and HOT WATER... And The results are good for me. You can feel it cleaning your throat and breaking it up. I had my first cup 4 hours ago..... So far so good...1/2 cup H2o and 1/4 cup ACV."
[NAY] 04/19/2012: Norm from Menifee, Ca, Usa: "I tried the apple cider vinegar mixture and it helped some the first time, but after that no benefit. My doctor had me on Mucinex, 4 pills a day for ten days and Motrin for pain. I'm still not out of it, but it's better."
[YEA] 04/12/2012: Holly from Buffalo, Ny: "I have to say that like many others here, I was skeptical at best. I didn't think that the ACV in my fridge that I use for cooking could do anything for my sinus pressure. But, when I woke up this morning with severe head pain, jaw pain and no way to breathe, I was willing to try anything (except calling the doctor for antibiotics that would likely result in a yeast infection, another round of medication for that, and a following week of stomach upset and mood swings). At 4:30, I used my neti pot and got some serious results, but still felt the jaw pain and head pressure. So, at 6:30, I mixed 8oz of water, 2TBSP ACV, 2tsp purified honey (leftover in the cupboard from when the tike was an infant). I sipped it like a tea, and felt the effects about 20 minutes later. I started alternate nostril breathing, in on the good side, out on the clogged side, and it really got things going. Then I tried the ACV treatment again an hour later, and I can breathe clearly. My jaw pain is gone, with just a little stiffness left. My sinuses are clear and I feel amazing. I also did an oil pull in between the two ACV treatments, but don't think I swished long enough because the oil wasn't white when I spit. thank you to everyone who posted their amazing results."
Replies[YEA] 04/18/2012: Geoff from Bakersfield, Ca replies: "After one month and countless over the counter and even my trusted herbal remedies, nothing broke my sinus as this did. Raw local honey is the key, but be sure not to mix when the tea mix is too hot, this can damage the healing properties of the honey. Better to take it at room temp before or after sipping the tea. Enjoy!"
10/26/2012: Anne from Asheboro, Nc, Usa replies: "I had a hard time downing the mix in 8 oz of water and found it much easier to use a shot glass with 2T ACV with mother and just enough hot water to melt the honey. So much easier to get down, because it was faster. Just don't do it right after brusing your teeth, so you don't harm the enamel."
[YEA] 04/10/2012: Sbkymberli from Santa Barbara, Ca, United States: "I must say I was fairly skeptical when I read about the Apple Cider Vinegar cure for an acute sinus infection. In all of my 48 years I had never once heard anyone mention this, but after feeling absolutely miserable for 3 straight days I was willing to try anything.
I see by the feedback it doesn't work for every individual, but it does work for the vast majority of people (185 out of 200) and I am very pleased to say that it worked wonderfully for me.
Within an hour of drinking a concoction of 8oz hot water; 2 tablespoons ACV; 1/2 packet of Instant Ginger Honey Crystals and 2 tablespoons of honey I noticed the pressure in my sinuses was greatly reduced. 30 minutes after that I could breathe clearly through my nose for the first time in 3 days and my headache was finally gone. Although I wasn't suffering any longer I opted to get up in the middle of the night and drink another glass. Afterward I slept soundly through the night and feel really good this morning. I have been blowing my nose all morning and as the cure stated the mix did thin out the mucus and is now coming out. Will bring enough to work with me today (yes, I feel good enough to work! ) and be sure to redose if I feel any sign of a relapse coming on.
Thank you so very much for this natural way to alleviate my pain. If I can avoid taking OTC or prescription medications I ALWAYS prefer the natural method."
[YEA] 04/03/2012: Lopez1775 from Orlando, Fl: "Thanks EC.. I read the post about 2 tbs of ACV 8 oz of water and some honey for my sinus infection. In minutes I felt the relieve of the sinus pressure in my head and ears. Thanks to all for the post. It saved me a trip to the doctor plus very expensive antibiotics."
Replies[BETTER BUT NOT CURED] 09/29/2012: Tiki Storm from Victoria, British Columbia replies: "(Better But Not Yet Cured). HELP!! I think I fall under that category, but honestly it is hard to tell. I've been trying to fight this current sinus infection for months now. It's a real drag and it is effecting my professional and personal life very negatively. I tried the AVC cure yesterday and honestly, but the end of the day things were a bit better. I had hope. Until I woke this morning with a horrible sinus migrane.I am supposed to start a new job this week and can't bear to think how things will go if I have this kind of a distraction (the pain is so bad that it keeps me up most nights leading to very poor energy and focus throughout the working day). I am beginning to think this may be a fungal thing and I really don't know if ACV or anything else will kill it. I'm going to try to muster up the strength to go into town today to get the grapefruit seed extract and hopefully that gives me some relief. Any suggestions from the awesome members of this board would be greatly appreciated."
[NAY] 03/28/2012: Erik from Denver, Colorado: "My sinus infection must have been different from that of the 183 people who have said on this site that drinking apple cider vinegar cured their infection or helped somewhat.
I had had a bad sinus infection for less than a week when I tried drinking the ACV. I didn't notice anything different after I tried it. So I would say that drinking apple cider vinegar definitely did not help.
The next day, miserable, very sick and exhausted, I did what I should have done a few days earlier, namely, I went to a clinic and got a prescription for antibiotics. I paid $20.45 for a generic, 3-day, 500mg Z-Pack and 2 hours after taking the first one I felt remarkably better. Today is day 2 and I'm almost back to normal.
In my case, modern medicine was the right solution."
Replies05/22/2012: Jamie from San Diego, California replies: "Took ten days worth of anti biotics. They helped at first but maybe they were not strong enough to kick the infection completely because I am starting to get a severe headache again and still spitting out yellow stuff. On my way to get some ACV and see if that will help."
08/25/2012: Dave from Seneca, Sc replies: "If the cider does not work for you try colloidal silver. Sniffed into the sinus cavity, the silver kills infections... Virus, bacteria and fungus. Silver has been used for thousands of years. I've used it for over ten years on a weekly basis. Never any skin tinting issue. I use the silver by simply sniffing into both sinus cavities and leaning head back as it drains down resisting the urge to cough. I do this twice within ten minutes. Use of an ear syringe is even better as you can gently squirt the silver further back into the sinus cavity that just sniffing. I squirt with head over sink and then slowly lean head back to let residue drain further into sinus cavity. I often will also squirt into ears so that between ear passages and sinus the eustacian tubes are also saturated. The whole head then is cleared of infection. Normally, just two applications will knock out a sinus or ear infection.For really nasty infections, I have had to keep applying for a week or longer, twice or three times daily until finally the infection goes away. And the silver solution does keep the infection from getting into the lungs. If infection does get into lungs I use a steam producting machine and use the silver solution in the heated pan to give me silver in steam form and I breath deeply the mist three times daily. Ususally, the lung infection is gone in three days using this method."
[YEA] 03/16/2012: Gail from Ft. Myers, Florida: "I have about had it with this sinus infection/allergy problem for the past 2 weeks. The pollen count is so high in Florida right now, and I have never felt so miserable. I love when it rained, for only then did my symptoms subside. Unfortunately, it only rained twice in 2 weeks. Eyes are watering, throat itching, face hurts and swollen, continual nose blowing and ears hurt. It reached its high point today. I am allergic to antihystamines so my options are limited. I could go to an ENT doctor, but I already know he would prescribe a strong antibiotic, which my body does not handle well.
So I went to the computer for natural remedies. I Mixed 2 Tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and 1 Tablespoon of honey in a cup of hot water along with one tea bag that contains ginger root and rooibos. (Good Earth Sweet & Spicy Red Tea). It is a soothing drink and not bad in taste. Amazingly, within 15 minutes my sinus' are clearing and I definitely can see an improvement. Thanks to all who posted this remedy. I think I will have another cup and then make a batch of it to have on hand for the next few days. I am looking forward to feeling normal again. Much appreciation to everyone. Have a wonderful day!!"
Replies03/17/2012: Helen from Milwaukee, Wi replies: "I'd like to try the ACV for my sinus infection and hoping it will work for me. However, I read a book about eating according to your blood type and it suggests that people like me with A pos blood type should not ingest vinegar. I'm hoping that all of you who have had success with ACV for sinus trouble would be willing to share your blood type. It would, at least, make for interesting research."
[YEA] 04/16/2012: Katie from Daytona Beach, Fl replies: "I am also in Florida, we've had the roughest allergy season ever this year - most likely because of our mild winter. My son and I are both taking zyrtec in the am and claritin in the pm (our allergist said we could take them together). You can now buy them both generic, you can get about 3 months worth/90 pills for $20 at Walmart.Please be careful with the antibiotics, my allergist prescribed me 28 days worth of them for my allergies and I got oral THRUSH oh, my, gosh - worst experience of my life. Very expensive to fix with top brand probiotics and I'm sure it will take a few months to get over, had to change my diet ugh and everything.
Anyway in addition to this, I've been drinking the _____s organic ACV (1 tbs) in organic carrot juice 1/2 glass, 2x a day. And it kills the fungus on my toungue for a few hours and since your drinking the stuff hopefully it's helping in my body somewhat as well with the probiotics.
Regardless, I mention this because I used to have to neti pot 2x a day intake because of my sinuses... Prior to the ACV but now NO post nasal drip!!! And we're still in the very heavy pollen season here in FL. Good luck everyone, I'm going to post in the thrush section as well..."

- Burglary Non Dwelling – there has been a high increase in burglary non dwelling offences in the area as a whole – as a result the team are continuing with attendance, crime reduction advice both on scene and at the Have Your Say events. We as a team are also looking at carrying out specific actions to try and combat this criminality.
- Burglary Dwelling – Even though there is a current decrease in offences this is a force priority and we continue to carry out patrols in areas that have been historically subject to this offending. We are also mindful that this is busy time of year for people and the Neighbourhood Policing Team are resourcing the area as best as possible
- Speeding – This is a priority that is raised through public consultation. The team do have a community speedwatch in place however we are looking for more volunteers to continue this work. Being able to have a product to work from will mean that the team can concentrate on the most important areas
These are being dealt with by your neighbourhood policing team in partnership with residents and other agencies. Progress will be reported in the Neighbourhood updates.

In the adult population, tonsillectomy is the appropriate first line treatment in select patients. (Epstein 2009, Evidence Based Clinical Guideline)) After thorough examination, if the primary site of obstruction is hypertrophied tonsils, tonsillectomy has been shown to be a very effective treatment regardless of the severity of the OSA. (Verse 2000, Level 3) While most of the articles supporting adult tonsillectomy for OSA are small, the results of these 7 articles strongly support this treatment. In Verse 2000, many of the studies prior to 2000 are reviewed. In this review, patients had a mean preoperative Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) of 54.6 and mean post operative AHI of 3.6.
Surgical treatment of pediatric sleep disordered breathing with tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy is the recommended first line treatment. In the pediatric population, resolution of OSA occurs in 82% of patients who are treated with T&A. (Brietzke 2006, Meta-analysis) The effects of T&A include normalization of AHI, improvement of quality of life (QOL) measures, improved behavior, improved academic performance, and improved neurocognitive functioning. In snoring pediatric patients with symptoms of sleep disordered breathing in whom AHI is not normalized, or in whom AHI was not elevated preoperatively, significant improvement are seen in all QOL measures, neurocognitive functioning and behavior. (Chervin 2006,Level 2 evidence)

75% believe their internal audit function has a positive impact on risk management, but 80% acknowledge room for improvement.
In January 2012, we commissioned Forbes Insights to conduct a global survey about the evolving role of internal audit.
From that research, we learned that 75% of respondents believe strong risk management has a positive impact on long-term earnings performance. An equal number believe their internal audit function has a positive impact on overall risk management efforts. And yet, 80% of respondents acknowledge that their internal audit function has room for improvement. 70% of these respondents believe that the improvements should be undertaken within the next 24 months.
Our survey further suggests that internal audit will continue to focus on a mix of business and information technology (IT) reviews, with an increased emphasis on strategic and operational risks. Internal audit risk assessments, regulatory requirements and enterprise risk assessments will remain the top three drivers of the audit plan, mirroring the top two improvement priorities. Already, internal audit is playing a more prominent role in organizational issues, such as:
Technology also remains a key area of focus for internal audit functions, comprising 18% of the current audit plan. 48% of respondents suggest that IT security and privacy risk are top priorities. Companies with more mature risk management practices outperform their peers financially. There are four steps that internal audit functions can take to realize strategic alignment, increase relevance to the business and help achieve a risk maturity that accelerates stronger financial performance:

Ticket #73 (closed defect: invalid)
numpy arrays ...
Reported by: | lal.george@… | Owned by: | xi |
Priority: | high | Component: | pyyaml |
Severity: | normal | Keywords: | |
Cc: |
What is the best way to transfer very large numpy arrays using PyYAML?
Ideally I would like to do something like:
m = ; # a very large numpy array
y = "---\nx : '%s'\n" % (m.dumps())
z = yaml.load(y)
However, the yaml.load returns an exception:
'utf8 codec can't decode byte #x80: unexpected code byte in "<string>", position 9.
Since I have quoted the string, yaml should not be diving into it - correct?
Change History
comment:1 Changed 6 years ago by xi
- Status changed from new to closed
- Resolution set to invalid
YAML specification requires that the input stream (or in this case, the input string) is encoded in utf-8 or utf-16. That's why the parser complains when it doesn't recognize a valid utf8 character.
In your case, you'd better use pyyaml to serialize the value:
y = yaml.dump({'x': m.dumps()}) # you could add the parameter default_flow_style=False
Alternatively, you could write
y = "---\nx: !!binary '%s'" % m.dumps().encode('base64')

Caffeine can cause a short, but dramatic increase in your blood pressure, even if you don't have high blood pressure. It's unclear what causes this spike in blood pressure. Caffeine could block a hormone that helps keep your arteries widened. Others think that caffeine causes your adrenal glands to release more adrenaline, which causes your blood pressure to increase.
Some people who regularly drink caffeinated beverages have a higher average blood pressure than do those who drink none. Others who regularly drink caffeinated beverages develop a tolerance to it. As a result, caffeine doesn't have a long-term effect on their blood pressure. It seems that caffeine has a stronger blood pressure increasing effect in people who are older than 70 or who are overweight.
If you have high blood pressure, ask your doctor whether you should limit or stop drinking caffeinated beverages. If you're concerned about caffeine's effect on your blood pressure, try limiting the amount of caffeine you drink to 200 milligrams a day — about the same amount as in two 12-ounce cups of brewed coffee. Keep in mind that the amount of caffeine in coffee and other beverages varies by brand. Also, avoid caffeine right before activities that naturally increase your blood pressure, such as exercise, weightlifting or hard physical labor.
To see if caffeine might be raising your blood pressure, check your blood pressure within 30 to 60 minutes of drinking a cup of coffee or another caffeinated beverage. If your blood pressure increases by five to 10 points, you may be sensitive to the blood pressure raising effects of caffeine. If you plan to cut back on caffeine, do so gradually over several days to a week to avoid withdrawal headaches.

2014 Atlanta Film Festival Screenplay Competition
The Atlanta Film Festival Screenplay Competition looks to discover high quality screenplays and then help 3 writers further develop and refine their script through an intensive workshop retreat that will coincide with the 2014 Atlanta Film Festival (March/April 2014) with professional writers and filmmakers.
The Atlanta Film Festival has a 4 decade long history of discovering and nurturing new filmmaking talent, including showing early works by Robert Rodriguez, Spike Lee, and Victor Nuñez. Recognizing that the screenplay is one of the fundamental foundations of filmmaking, the Screenplay Competition was founded in 2008 to expand ATLFF's tradition of discovery and support. The retreat brings the writers of the winning screenplays together not only with established writers, but also with producers and directors who can provide a different perspective on the script and advice on how to move forward towards getting the project produced.
Past Mentors have included Kent Osborne (HANNAH TAKES THE STAIRS, SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS), Morgan J. Freeman (HURRICANE), Anne Hubbell (THANKSGIVING), Carly Hugo (PETER AND VANDY, HOT COFFEE), Stephen Israel (SWIMMING WITH SHARKS), J.T. Petty (THE BURROWERS, SPLINTER CELL: CHAOS THEORY), Joel Zwick (MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING) Amy Dotson (Producer & Managing Director for IFP NY), AND Rob Long (CHEERS, GEORGE & LEO).
Our mentors in 2013 were James Ponsoldt (SMASHED, THE SPECTACULAR NOW) Autumn Canaday, Director of Development, Green Door Pictures Jamie Babbit (BUT I'M A CHEERLEADER, ITTY BITTY TITTY COMMITTEE) Kary Dorento (PORTLANDIA, SOUTH PARK)
2014 Mentors:
2014 Retreat Location:
Comments from participants in the Screenwriter's Retreat:
"The screenplay retreat was a unique and immersive experience in that it not only provided specific unbiased insight into the world of my script, but also refreshingly candid knowledge about the world of the industry itself. The festival truly does a commendable job of nurturing diverse talent and offering the rare opportunity to workshop your material in a concentrated, safe, and fun environment with mentors who genuinely want you to put your best foot forward, both with your script and the industry at large." - Melanie Schiele
"The ATLFF was absolutely a career high. I was so honored to be apart of such a prestigious festival. From day 1, the staff and volunteers were professional, courteous and encouraging towards my endeavors in screenwriting. The mentors chosen for the screenplay winners were kind, very knowledgeable of their craft and accessible. I had a blast laughing, creating and viewing all the wonderful talent throughout the festival. Thank you again ATLFF for such an uplifting experience!"- Tonya Holloway
"This competition offers you what very few can, a personal and relaxed atmosphere to meet with professionals who are willing to take the time to not only get to know your writing but you as a person."
"Not only did I absolutely have a blast down there, as we were all treated like VIPs for the weekend, but more importantly, the workshop proved to be invaluable, as I received a lot of great notes and feedback that should definitely help me in making this next draft even more compelling."

Announcing a New Wine from Tortoise Creek
2011 Syrah-Grenache "Le Charmel"
From the South of the Rhône Valley, the "Le Charmel" is sourced from a superb vineyard in the Costieres de Nimes. Sustainably farmed with only limited fertilizers allowed, this red wine benefits from the bright fruit of the Grenache and the richness of the Syrah, combining into a smooth wine that is ready to drink.
"Le Charmel" refers to the father-son partnership of Charlie and Mel Master that produced this wine.
Come learn all about the new "Le Charmel" wine here.
About Tortoise Creek Wines
Tortoise Creek is a range of very fine varietal wines from the Languedoc district of the South of France and California.
Tortoise Creek was created by a British couple, Mel and Janie Master who lived much of their lives in the wine business in the South of France as well as California. During their time in France, they developed close relationships with many of the top growers and winemakers in the Languedoc and have been producing wines from this area since 1990.
The concept with Tortoise Creek was to work more with the individual grower and less with the large cooperatives as they understood that the key to any good wine, whether it is from the Languedoc, California or any other wine region was low yields. With that in mind, Tortoise Creek wines have been selected and blended from growers who understand this philosophy. We work closely with our growers in California and France to hand craft our selections.
Tortoise Creek is a partnership between Mel and Janie Master and the national importing company Winesellers Ltd.

My household cleaning products
These are the only products that use to clean my house and I love them!
We make sure we recycle everything we can. We are also trying to buy more 7th Generation products.
Taking the next step...
My goal this year is to switch over all my cleaning products to a more natural, less harsh kind. Over the years I have always wondered the effects of these harsh chemicals on my body. Well it's time to stop worrying and time to make the change. Looking forward to trying out this new seventh generation brand!
I am expecting a baby in
I am expecting a baby in April so we have changed all our household cleaners to 7th generation. Also planning to use only your diapers and wipes.
Cleaning Products
We use as many natural cleaning products throughout our house as possible, sticking mostly to Seventh Generation products and homemade cleaning products using lemon oil, baking soda, and vinegar.
Love your product!
Just started living more green when my daughter was born. I want her to live in a clean environment and not have to worry about her children climbing over garbage. Your all purpose spray is great, and I LOVE them smell of your bathroom cleaner, so much better than all those nasty chemicals.
using less or reusing, just like bottles from 7th gen.
My family has figured out how to make our own home made laundry and dishwasher detergent. We love to recycle & when we buy dish soap it has to be 7th Gen or any other eco brand. Have to think of anyway to help by purchasing and promoting greener products. We also refrain from using paper towels, we keep large stash of rags & cotton napkins.
Buy less
I just buy less stuff. Probably easier for me than most, as I have no excess money to be spending and thus less temptation. But I really believe if you focus on the quality rather than the quantity you generally end up happier.
7th Generation Products are excellent
These products are not only safe but also effective. Highly recommend 7th Generation to everyone I know.
I have taught my children the importance of recycling & buying products that are made from recycled materials.
I lead my household by teaching about recyclables. I make sure everyone knows what can be recycled.
Healthier Kids
I switched my cleaning products because all three of my children had severe asthma that ended them up in the emergency room frequently. I thought changing the cleaning stuff might help a little....but I am proud, and astonished to report they haven't been to the emergency room for an attack since we switched to organic cleaning, and that was 5 years ago!
Love 7th Generation!
I use Seventh Generation products in my household and try to eat organic foods. Also, I try to avoid cooking and eating with plastics. I am obsessed with plug-in air fresheners, however, I read how bad they are for your health, so I am going to replace the insides with all natural oils.
One step at a time
I heard about these products at work, and have been switching over. it has led to more change in our house as well, with a new rain barrel and composting! thanks for insipring
laundry products
I am alergic to most commercial laundry products- Seventh generation has been a life saver for med. Thanks
Free and Clear
We have used the he laundry detergent and dishwashing liquid since I first found it in the supermarket. Love the products and have been passing the word along to family and friends. We have been recycling for years and when the cfls were first available we switched. Being green is a way of life. We buy local produce and support our local farmers.
I just recently became more aware of the affects of recycling and have jumped on board. I am also in the process of changing all my household products to 7th generation to make for a cleaner and healthier environment for my 4 year old and family. I have also introduced my family to these products.
Hi, this is my very first post and would first like to say how much i love 7th generation. Being a mom of two babies I use 7th generation free and clear laundry soap for their clothes and know that its safe for their delicate skin. I also started using the all purpoe cleaner, lemon and thyme and it smells wonderful and I know this is much safer for my surfaces then any other cleaner! I recycle plastic bags because I get a lot of them.
Little steps = big change
We changed all our light bulbs in our house to compact fluorescents. We do laundry 2 times a month and use cold water. We recycle every bit of paper, plastic, cardboard, metal, anything that is accepted in our region. We use power strips and unplug all unused plugs. We take shorter showers. We bike EVERYWHERE - grocery store, work, gym, etc. Not only does it help the environment but it saves on bills.
Small Changes. Big Changes. Big Thank You!
My husband and I try to make small changes in our daily life, and one of the changes is incorporating your products into our home. With no dishwasher, unless you count my husband, we go through a lot of dish soap. He really loves that the Natural Dish Liquid is free of dyes and fragrances. I love that there are rewards programs that serve to educate and make it possible to do the right thing and still stay within our budget. Thanks so much.
Pleased with Seventh Generation's Concept & Products/Congrats
I recycle and fortunately my husband is jumping on board, too! I also try to buy "green", i.e. organic, local, more nature based products, pcr packaging even if it is a few more pennies. I also do facebook posts from this site as well as others I support, i.e. how to recycle electronics and other helpful tips from environmentally responsible companies. Love your dishwashing liquid, it lasts so much longer than any other brand I have tried, and is more effective.
how I share
I have a blog about saving money, keeping kosher and protecting the environment. I always try to incorporate ideas that are good for our earth. The things I post are not just ideals, they are what we do in our home, too!
love the products
My family just switched to your products. I am very happy with everything so far. We have also switched over to all natural shampoo's, body washes, hand sanitizer and make up.
I love Seventh Generation.
I am going to school for a bachelors in Environmental Biology and these products make me feel better about making a statement to other manufacturers' to clean up their act because I don't want their dirty products.
I have started recycling projects at my old high school, and my last job and am now incorporating a recycling system to my new job and pushing to get more green products in our stores such as 7th generation.
I love everything about 7th Generation and continue to tell everyone about the great things this wonderful company stands for.
Thank you!
My family has used your products for a couple of years now.
For our dishwashing liquid and laundry detergent we only use Seventh Generation. I really like the idea that there's no harsh chemicals. My family is into recycling. We recycle our cans, bottles and paper products. Thank you for the great products!
Refusing single-use products
What we do: We always insist on reusing, and carry around our own portable eating utensils. I also don't bother getting coffee or water if it means I have to use one of those tiny (or big!) styrofoam cups. I usually have my thermal tea cup, anyway.
My Part / Your Part
Many years ago I began a recycling program with paper and paper products with my local Post Office. Now.. it's gone National. We are now recycling unwanted paper products and cardboard and turning it into money while maintaining a healthy environment. Yay !!
Round of Applause
With a small child in the home and becoming more aware of so many things; seventh generation was an easy switch. I find their products to work well and even better than some of the more common items in the store.
Cool products
I use them cause I have 2 year old daughter and don't want to expose her harsh chemicals
I love the facts inside the peel-up label. The benefits of more people choosing these safer products is great and helps me have some facts to back my recommendations!
Free and Clear detergent
I work in a group of people that have allergies and we share information on products that might be good for us. I did not realize that the detergent was free and clear. I will announce that at the next group. I will be checking out the other products to see what I can suggest.
love to recycle!!
I make sure when my husband and I use bottles, cans, boxes, papers, etc. that they go in the recycle bin! I feel I'm helping the environment and the next generation live in a better world!
small steps
it can be overwhelming to try to change too many things at once, start small! I take pride in recycling even if it can be a hassle and a little more time consuming than just tossing it.
Love your Great products
Thank you so much for making such great products, caring about the enviroment and the people. Happy Holidays!
Dish Soap
I LOVE all of the dish soaps that seventh generation offers. I use them all over the house. They smell wonderful and work great. I also use the paper towels and bleach. You can't go wrong with their products!!
I've taught my kids from day one the difference between trash and "recycle trash." They are excited to help put things in the "recycle trash"
Just made the switch
Honestly today was the first day I bought a product from Seventh Generation. But now that I have they are a great product and I am going to use it in all of my household and tell my whole family about the Seventh Generation products and the goal which we are all striving for. But thank you for the products that you have it is a great help.
small steps
I educate my coworkers, students, and families at my school.
food drive
I organized a food drive at work that raised 125 boxes and cans of food and $120 in donations this year. I also organized a holiday Hannukah candle lighting ceremony in my building this year.
It's the little things
I take it one item at a time. With a baby coming I've trying more green products as well as trying to recycle more. It becomes like second nature once you just start doing it.
thank you!
Seventh generation is making me more aware of being green!!
I never really been a "green"
I never really been a "green" person but with a baby on the way Im determine to leave a green clean lifestyle fo rmy little one to grow up in. Little by little im changing things in our lives, by remebering to recycle evertime, using reuseable lunch bags, and even strting to groe fresh herbs. Hopefully I'll move to vegetables one day. But 7th generation has helped alot in taking a dtep towards green living.
How do I lead change
I try to lead by example, I feel when my friends and family see the products I use, they may be more interested in purchasing it themselves
Laaundry detergent
I would never believe a safe detergent could do such a beautiful job. I tried 7th generations dishwasher detergent several years sgo. I was dissatisfied with the results. I also thought it too expensive. After checking on some of the ingredients and realizing they agrivated my allergies I knew I had to make some changes. I started to try safer products.
I love the laundry detergent. The clothes are clean and soft. I am trying my first bottle of dish detergent. The detergent burns on my hands are better in just a short time. I will try the dishwasher detergent again. Thanks for a wonderful product

Very nice campground on the edge of town. Lots of shade. Sites were level for the most part. Very clean. Would definitely stay here again.
Pigeon Forge, Tennessee
Eagle's Nest Campground

Older campground with grass pads and dirt roads. Some full-timers, but mostly tourist. Most sites had some shade. Pool area looked very clean and inviting. Rate is PA. Would stay again.
Winesburg, Ohio
Amish Country Campsites
[ 9/10 ]
This is a very nice and clean campground. Lots of shade, gravel roads, and free kindling firewood. Restrooms and showers are the cleanest! Local television available. We spent 3 days here and could have easily stayed a lot longer!
Springfield, Ohio
Buck Creek State Park
[ 8/10 ]
Very clean and wide open camp sites. The sites are all paved, back-end pads. Rate is Passport, internet price. Would definitely stay here again.
Houghton Lake, Michigan
West Houghton Lake Campground
[ 5/10 ]
This is an older campground with grass sites, dirt roads, and fairly close sites and a lot of full timers. The showers are individual rooms that looked rather old, so we didn't use them. The bathrooms were clean and freshly painted. The rate is the Passport rate with an additional $3/day for A/C. We stayed here 3 days. An okay place for a short stay.
Lyman, Wyoming
Lyman KOA
[ 8/10 ]
Nice quiet park located about one mile south of interstate. Owners very friendly and park very clean. Grassy sites, level, but not a lot of shade. Small diner? located on site.
Eden, Idaho
Anderson Camp
[ 9/10 ]
At first, park was kind of hard to locate. Exit 182 on I-84 and make a right turn and then another right. But what a pleasant surprise when we found it. A little close to the interstate, a little more noisy than desired, but did not deter from our stay. We stayed here three days. Nice shady, pull-thru sites. New owners(March 2011) are very friendly and helpful. Even cut limb off tree so limb would not rub on top of trailer. One pool closed and one restroom closed, but others were very clean. On site gas a little higher priced than in town. Would definitely stay here again.

Alain de Botton
Alain de Botton is a renowned philosopher and international bestselling author of Religion for Atheists. His lectures are as revelatory and engaging as novels and works of nonfiction, and he speaks frequently at venues worldwide. Read Full BiographyLectures & Speaking Topics
A Kinder, Gentler Philosophy of Success
Based on a legendary TED talk (downloaded 1million times), Alain de Botton discusses our ideas of success in the modern world, and argues that we're perhaps all both more and less successful than we tend to think. An entertaining, wise and witty tour around the pressure to be 'a success'.
The Modern World of Work
