Gobryas (1)
Terracotta figure from
Persepolis (Archaeological
museum, Tehran)
(Old Persian Gaubaruva): name of several Persian noblemen, e.g.:
one of the generals of king Cyrus the Great. This Gobryas played an important role in the Persian capture of Babylon in October 539 BCE. According to the Chronicle of Nabonidus (year seventeen), he was governor of Gutium and the first to enter the conquered capital of the Babylonians, where he arrested the last king of Babylonia, Nabonidus and appointed several officials. He died a few weeks later, on 4 March 538. His successor was Nabû-ahhe-bullit, who may -to judge from his name- have been a Babylonian.
There are several documents which are dated to his governorship, including a confusing letter dated in the last days of 535 BCE. This letter suggests that Nabû-achche-bullit was succeeded by another governor named Gobryas.

Abstract—Real-time systems are being increasingly used in several applications which are time-critical in nature. Fault tolerance is an essential requirement of such systems, due to the catastrophic consequences of not tolerating faults. In this paper, we study a scheme that guarantees the timely recovery from multiple faults within hard real-time constraints in uniprocessor systems. Assuming earliest-deadline-first scheduling (EDF) for aperiodic preemptive tasks, we develop a necessary and sufficient feasibility-check algorithm for fault-tolerant scheduling with complexity

Wal-Mart Joins the Club in Slashing 2,300 Jobs
The mid-January retail report may have been encouraging for the country's biggest stores, but Wal-Mart Inc. (NYSE:WMT) is joining the club in slashing jobs to improve efficiency ahead of expansion plans. According to CNN Money, the world's largest retailer is laying off 2,300 employees at Sam's Club stores, which amounts to 2 percent of the workforce.
According to reports, the 2,300 job cuts will affect salaried assistant managers as well as salaried employees at the six hundred Sam's Club locations in the U.S. A spokesman for Sam's Club said many of the cuts will come in the stores' fresh foods section, where managerial presence will be trimmed in half, CNN Money reports. The managers will take on more responsibilities and receive higher salaries in return.
Employees forced out of work at the Sam's Club stores will have sixty days during which they can look for a job at any location of parent company Wal-Mart Those who cannot find a job will receive some measure of severance, Sam's Club spokespeople said. While the move reflects an effort to achieve greater efficiency within its operations, Wal-Mart is following the lead of the country's other big retailers.
On January 22, Target (NYSE:TGT) announced it was cutting 475 jobs as well as slashing healthcare benefits in hopes of finding savings in a period of slow growth and even decline in some locations. In addition to the 475 jobs it will shed, the nation's third-largest retailer said it would not fill 700 positions becoming available in coming months. While some of the slump at Target may be attributed to bad press following its data breach, the main issue seems to be declining retail business overall.

Makeup, Diane Kendal for M.A.C.; hair, Paul Hanlon for Frédéric Fekkai; nails, Kim D'Amato for Priti NYC
MAKEUP: "The boys took a road trip out West, which influenced the textures and fabrics in the fall collection. We wanted to see that same environment reflected in the face," said Diane Kendal of the dusty, desert-inspired neutrals—in shades of sand, clay, and putty—that she used to subtly define the features. Working in high contrast to the rich yellow, orange, and cobalt shoulder bags and sandals spotted on the runway, the monochromatic palette provided balance.
THE HAIR: "When Jack and Lazaro called me up in London to talk about the show, they said they were thinking about all the girls having very long hair," said Paul Hanlon, who arrived in New York with trunks of waist-length hair extensions for the occasion. He looked to photographer Edward Curtis's historical images of Native American tribeswomen—along with '70s icons Sissy Spacek and Cher—when dreaming up models' disheveled, center-parted, half-plaited ponytails. "It's an evolution of their girl from last season," he said, referencing the destroyed updos he created for Proenza's spring 2011 runway. If their muse's hair teetered on the verge of collapse back then, says Hanlon, "this time it's fallen down completely."
ON EYES: Proenza's girl plays by her own rules. This fall, she may be lining her eyes with M.A.C.'s lip pencil in Stone (a cool putty-colored brown). "It looked cool," said Kendal with a good natured shrug of her unorthodox choice. She skipped mascara altogether, but spent time brushing the brows upward for "a slightly bushier feeling."
CHEEKS: Kendal subtly contoured the cheekbones and temples with M.A.C. Sculpt Cream in Peaches and Taupe, respectively.
LIPS: A dab of M.A.C. concealer took down the natural pinkish cast of the lips.
FOR HAIR: Hanlon's undone ponytails were smooth and polished at the crown, tangled and voluminous at the ends. His technique: After attaching 22-inch extensions—that's nearly two feet of hair—toward the root, he used Frédéric Fekkai Océanique Tousled Wave Spray on the lower length of the hair for texture before gathering the sides back loosely in a hybrid plaited knot. "It should look like their ponytail got caught in their jacket and it's made it a bit messy," said Hanlon, who finished with the company's Sheer Hold Hairspray.
ON NAILS: "Models! You must get a pedicure before you take the runway!" a backstage production assistant called out shortly before first looks. A coat of clear matte polish (Priti Matte Maker) on the toes ensured that all eyes stayed on the designer's knockout accessories.
SEEN: Models Liu Wen and Julia Stegner arrived backstage with their Proenza PS1 bags (in chestnut and taupe, respectively) in tow. Nearby, mannequins and editors begged Modelinia mastermind Bianca Posterli for extra sizes of the website's "model team" T-shirts. In a cheeky homage to their favorite faces—Lara Stone, Karlie Kloss, Dree Hemingway, Abbey Lee Kershaw, and Cohati ("that's Coco Rochas and Behati Prinsloo combined, because they're best friends," says Posterli with a laugh)—they designed the five pop-culture-inspired looks for fashion week. Proceeds from the T-shirts, which are for sale on Modelinia's Facebook page, will go toward UNICEF. Our pick: Dutch supermodel Stone's fitted gray concert tee, which features a gap-toothed play on the Rolling Stones' tongue-and-lips logo. We predict an all-out war in time for Paris Fashion Week.

A Model of a Double Standard Exchange Rate System
AbstractIn this paper I propose a "double standard" fixed exchange rate system which will be shown to have a higher expected lifetime than a conventional fixed exchange rate system. I present a simple variant of the classic Flood-Garber-Krugman model where the domestic currency is pegged to one of the two foreign currencies, depending on which exchange rate is lower; intuitively, this system thus corresponds to a gradual inflation stabilization program which will start at a future time that is determined by the foreign exchange market instead of the government. This type of a conditional peg implies that the domestic money holdings have a higher expected return as compared with the standard fixed exchange rate system. Since at each period there is a non-zero probability for the appreciation of the domestic currency, the demand for it is thus higher which decreases the probability of a speculative attack and increases the expected lifetime of the fixed exchange rate.

Rick Santelli: 'If It Wasn't for the Tea Party...We Would Have Been Rated BBB'
For over 24 hours, Obama advisers, Democrat senators, and terminally stupid ideologues in the media have been blaming Standard and Poor's downgrade of America's debt on the Tea Party.
On Monday, one of the only sane voices in the mainstream media stood up and said, "If it wasn't for the Tea Party, they would have passed the debt ceiling thumbs up, we would have been rated BBB" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
JOE KERNEN, CNBC: Alright. You know, Santelli, I never know with you. So, I don't know how much of the debate you've been able to watch, but what do you make of what's happened since Friday?
RICK SANTELLI, CNBC: You guys ever play sports? You ever been on an organized team?
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Yeah.
SANTELLI: Okay. You know sometimes you get a couple of bad calls or the game didn't go your way but it should have? A good coach isn't going to come up to you and say, "Gee, you know, the other team really stinks. You know, I'm mad. We're going fight, we're going to appeal. We're going to go to every league and every lawyer."
No, you know what a good coach says? "It doesn't matter. Okay? We're a better team than this. Just take this to motivate the team to move on to greater things." You know, the treasury secretary, the eight percent excuses, you know, the blame Bush, blame the sun, blame this. You know what leadership means? It means that it doesn't really matter what S&P says. We all know deep inside that no country is the same as it was five years ago. And the market seems to be okay with it. And as for stocks going down we were already Ralph Cramden on thin ice. Now an infant jumped on our shoulders. It's just even more weight.
In the end, in the end we need to address problems we know exist. A treasury secretary or a president should be out here not fighting S&P, not grabbing the other coach and slapping him around, taking the umpire behind the barn. He should be getting the team psyched to overcome.
See, I remember I had a professor in college. I wrote a great paper. Could never please this guy. But it made me better. Okay? We're better than this. Don't get caught up in the minutia. All this BS. We're better than this. We need to prove it. We're off the track. Whether we're better than some other country or not, the real issue is we're on the wrong path.
Blame the Tea Party? Geez, no wonder Kerry did so well in an election. If it wasn't for the Tea Party, they would have passed the debt ceiling thumbs up, we would have been rated BBB.
For those not familiar with the jargon, S&P's highest rating is AAA. From there, it goes much like school grades to AA+, AA, AA-, A+, A, A-, BBB+, BBB.
Everything BBB and higher is considered "investment grade." Everything below that is considered highly-speculative or "junk."
With that in mind, I think Santelli's being a little aggressive in saying that without the Tea Party, S&P would have downgraded our debt eight notches to BBB.
However, what the President, his Party, and their media minions seem to forget is that they wanted a clean vote on the debt ceiling, meaning one just on that issue without any other strings attached.
At this point it seems safe to say S&P would have at least downgraded us to AA+ had that been the case as we then would have raised the debt ceiling without any spending cuts regardless of how small they ended up being.
Maybe worse, Moody's and Fitch might have also reduced our rating last week adding more fuel to the fire that's happening on Wall Street.
With that in mind, although Santelli might have been a tad aggressive with his outrage, it is indeed absurd to blame this downgrade on the small but growing number of Tea Party legislators that refused a clean vote and insisted that spending cuts be a part of any debt ceiling agreement.
That liberal media members from coast to coast don't get this and instead echo the inflammatory and inaccurate Democrat talking point is indeed an outrage.

Too Bad Republicans can't talk like Santelli
Submitted by Mike009 on Mon, 08/08/2011 - 8:17pm.
The Tea Party didn't block the debt ceiling bill so it will be tough for liberals to say the market crash and credit downgrade is the Tea Party's fault. If Republicans act like George Bush and don't fight back, however, they will lose the debate. Too bad Reublicans can't talk like Santelli.
Democrats have controlled the House and the Senate sincec 2006, and they had control of all three branches for the first two years of the Obama adminstration. They could have raised taxes but they didn't. They could have passed a budget. But they didn't. Why aren't Republicans out there yelling from the rooftops?

Good analogy from Reich
Submitted by hayate1 on Mon, 08/08/2011 - 10:54pm.
"Imagine your house is burning. You call the fire department but your call isn't answered because every fire fighter in town is debating whether there will be enough water to fight fires over the next ten years, even though water is plentiful right now. (Yes, there's a long-term problem.) One faction won't even allow the fire trucks out of the garage unless everyone agrees to cut water use. An agency that rates fire departments has just issued a downgrade, causing everyone to hoard water.
While all this squabbling continues, your house burns to the ground and the fire has now spread to your neighbors' homes. But because everyone is preoccupied with the wrong question (the long-term water supply) and the wrong solution (saving water now), there's no response. In the end, the town comes up with a plan for the water supply over the next decade, but it's irrelevant because the whole town has been turned to ashes.
Okay, I exaggerate a bit, but you get the point. The American economy is on the verge of another recession. Most Americans haven't even emerged from the last one. Consumers (70 percent of the economy) won't or can't spend because their major asset is worth a third less than it was five years ago, they can't borrow as before, and they're justifiably worried about their jobs and wages. And without customers, businesses won't expand and hire. So we're trapped in a vicious cycle that's getting worse.
But the government won't come to the rescue by spending more and cutting most peoples' taxes because it's obsessed by a so-called "debt crisis" based on budget projections over the next ten years. That obsession – which serves the ideological purposes of right-wing Republicans who really want to shrink government — has even spread to the eat-your-spinach media, deficit hawks in the Democratic Party, and a major (and thoroughly irresponsible) credit-rating agency that's neither standard nor poor.
Meanwhile, some lazy (or misinformed) commentators are linking our faux debt crisis to Europe's real one. But the two are entirely different. Several European nations don't have enough money to repay what they owe their lenders, or even pay the interest. That's threatening the entire euro-zone.
But there's no question that the United States has enough money to pay what it owes. We're the richest nation in the world and we print the money the world relies on. The only question on this side of the pond is whether tea-party Republicans will allow America to pay its bills when the debt-ceiling fight resumes at the end of 2012....."

Submitted by hayate1 on Tue, 08/09/2011 - 8:37pm.
Has been the tried and true method for pulling the economy out of past recessions, even the great depression. All presidents have used it to one degree or another, except for Hoover and FDR for a few years.
It works, it helped turn the tide of the Bush recession before it ran out. now we are sinking back into recession bc the stimulus wasn't large enough to deal with the deepest recession since the 30s. The debt problem is bad for sure, but what caused it to be this bad? Did Obama start a bunch of new programs? Or did revenue drop off? One just cannot discuss this in theory. It needs to be dealt with in reality. Friedman' s theories are nice, but lets talk about reality which didn't start 3 years ago.
without some spending increases from some source how will we get out of the problems created by lack of demand?

A whopping growth of 1.1 Trillion dollars in 2.5 years.
How much stimulus was pumped in again? 800 Billion dollars.
1100 Billion - 800 billion = 300 billion in actual growth
800 billion injected into the economy gives us a whopping 300 billion dollars growth in 2.5 years. Yippee! That is 1.9% growth over 2.5 years.
Don't we have to repay that 800 billion back. Wasn't it all borrowed? What if we had to pay it all back tomorrow? 800/15003 = -5.3% (negative 5.3%) of the GDP gets sliced off in an instant.
Nah. Let's slowly peel off the band-aid by slowly paying it back WITH INTEREST! You know, like a 30 years bond. That way the original 800 billion is paid back with 300 billion in interest. 1.1 Trillion dollars. A net of A BIG FAT ZERO!

Imagine your house is burning, government style.
Submitted by Denny Crane on Tue, 08/09/2011 - 2:18am.
Imagine your house is on fire. You call the FD, and they come and are putting out your fire. Meanwhile the bureaucrats at the top FD office (who aren't firefighters just government stooges) are arguing about how much water to use. Out of 100 idjits arguing, 20 of them are arguing to use exactly and only the amount that the fire chief recommends. 29 of them are saying to only use twice as much as recommended. While the other 51% are saying use as much as we have, and borrow some more from the next city over, and to go and blow up the dam to release what's in the reservoir. Meanwhile the 20 are saying wait a minute, we don't need to use that much. And we need that water for the upcoming months and years. So the 51% turn around and start blaring on 95% of the media, NP, news and so forth how the 20 want to burn down the city. That they just want to hoard the water for the rich in the next city over, and that the rich greedy people that use the electricity provided by the hydroelectric dam don't care about the fish (Ya it doesn't fit, but neither does anything else they do).

Meet "Vomiting Larry," a humanoid robot that projectile vomits in the name of science. Developed by researchers at the Health and Safety Lab in Derbyshire, England, Larry was designed to help study the spread of the norovirus — an incredibly virulent gastrointestinal disease that experts describe as "the Ferrari of the virus world." Researchers have spent more than 40 years looking for a cure for the norovirus, which can inflict often violent vomiting and diarrhea upon the 21 million Americans infected each year, but have thus far been unable to solve its riddle.
That's where Larry comes in. Because the virus can be transmitted through tiny vomit particles, scientists are hoping to learn more about how it spreads with an anatomically correct "humanoid simulated vomiting system." Each time Larry vomits, researchers can get a better idea of how far the aerosolized norovirus particles travel.
A humanoid simulated vomiting system
Normally, these particles would be invisible to the human eye, but Larry's "vomitus substitute" includes fluorescent markers that help virologists pinpoint its reach; thus far, they've found that the disease can travel more than three meters with a single retch. They can also study how these particles interact with different surfaces, and whether different environments can effect the norovirus' spread.
The hope, then, is that Larry will help doctors better contain the transmission of the disease, even if a vaccine remains elusive. Part of the problem is that researchers still don't have a way to actually grow the norovirus in laboratory settings, making it difficult to get a full understanding of how it operates. The virus has also been known to mutate dramatically, which further complicates attempts to harness it.
"There are many strains, and the virus changes very rapidly - it undergoes something virologists call genetic drift," said John Harris, a virus expert at Britain's Health Protection Agency. "When it makes copies of itself, it makes mistakes in those copies - so each time you encounter the virus you may be encountering a slightly different one."

Quieting the Mind with Vetiver
June 10, 2014
The rose looks fair, but fairer we it deem
For that sweet odour which doth in it live. - Shakespeare's Sonnet 54
A few years ago, I started using therapeutic grade vetiver essential oil on one of my daughters who often struggles with sensory issues. She loves it, and it smells so nice. I use it now, too, but I'll get to that in a minute. When we first opened the bottle, we weren't sure what we thought; but, once we applied it, we were captivated by the mysterious scent, and found that we really loved it!
Vetiver is a very thick, dark and syrupy essential oil. The aroma is earthy, sweet, and full of life. It reminds me of an early morning walk through a lush green forest filled with damp grasses and wild herbs. Like myrrh, vetiver oil has excellent fixative properties; therefore, it is often used in perfumes.
Vetiver has a calming and soothing effect on the central nervous system and is a wonderful oil to help quiet an overactive, exhausted, or stressed mind. It is also said to be a good choice in helping to control anger, irritability, or neurotic behavior, as well as helping with insomnia.
Recently, while researching essential oils commonly used for treating ADD/ADHD and Autism, vetiver kept coming up. Many people feel very strongly that vetiver oil (along with several other choice oils) is making a huge difference in the lives of children with such disorders.
In the following study conducted in 2001 by Dr. Terry Friedman, several essential oils were used to treat ADD and ADHD. Vetiver was found to be the most effective in observations and brain wave scans – showing improvements in 100% of subjects! Cedarwood essential oil was 83% effective, and lavender 53%.
CASE STUDY DR. TERRY FRIEDMAN, M.D. This case study was conducted for two years, from 1999-2001. Using Children between the ages of 6 to 12 years. Twenty subjects not diagnosed with ADD/ADHD were used as the control group.
Twenty subjects with a confirmed diagnoses of ADD/ADHD were used as the study group. Each group was pre-tested using a baseline evaluation with real time EEG and The T.O.V.A. Scale. The essential oils chosen for the case study were Lavender, Vetiver, Cedarwood and Brain Power (a blend of Frankincense, Sandalwood, Melissa, Cedarwood, Blue Cypress, Lavender and Helichrysum.) The oils were administered in this fashion: one of the oils were administered by inhalation 3 times a day for 30 days.
An inhalation device was also used at night to administer a continuous inhalation of oil. The subject then inhaled when needed, about 3 times during the day when they began to feel "scattered". The inhalation of the oils proved to settle the brainwaves back into normal patterns and improved their scholastic performance and behavioral patterns.
Each subject was tested on each oil for 30 days and then reevaluated by testing. Then another oil was used for 30 days and reevaluated, until each of the oils had been tested. Lastly, oil combinations were used, each for a 30 day period. (Brain Power with Lavender, with Cedarwood, and Vetiver.) The final results were: Lavender increased performance by 53%, Cedarwood increased performance by 83% and Vetiver increased performance by 100%. This study was published in the American Medical Association Journal.
Vetiver encourages stimulation of the circulatory system and can help relieve stiffness from arthritis and muscle cramping. Treat yourself by massaging Vetiver into overworked muscles. It is also said to help heal minor cuts and scrapes more effectively and with less scarring.
Some people add it to their face creams and lotions to revitalize mature, aging skin and rejuvenate wrinkly, irregular skin textures. Others may find it helpful in helping deal with acne or skin blemishes. Vetiver is among the oils highest in sesquiterpenes. Along with helping children control their behavior, it may also help anyone cope with stress, anxiety, or and in recovering from emotional trauma and shock.
Tourette's Syndrome "I tried the Vetiver for a tic that was bothering my son. I massaged it behind his ears and the tic stopped. I am not sure if you are familiar with Tourette's, but this is amazing!! He still has his pesky regular ones, but the major annoying body jerking, and the fake hiccup tic that was making him become very upset, was instantly gone within a few seconds of this oil.
"I now want to know everything possible about essential oils!! I have signed up to be a distributor because as soon as I become knowledgeable enough to help my own family, I cannot wait to help others. This is truly a gift from God. "I am so excited to have been introduced to the essential oils as an alternative. I cannot thank you enough for suggesting Vetiver for my son. I never would have imagined something so simple could have helped, and without side effects, FINALLY! Thank you." – Amanda B.
Why I use Vetiver
Remember the old "Calgon, take me away" commercial in the 70′s? That lady didn't need a bubble bath; she needed vetiver! Maybe it's because I'm a bit of an introvert, but I can go on overload when I'm around crowds for too long. I also have the same reaction to loud or chaotic music or noise.
So, when I'm feeling stressed or overwhelmed, or one of my children is having a tough time focusing or is feeling overstimulated by his/her surroundings, we apply a little vetiver to the bottoms of our feet and ankles (undiluted). Then we inhale what remains on our hands. I love the relaxing result!
How to Use: Since vetiver is so thick, and because I only use it topically, I go ahead and dilute it with olive or sweet almond oil and put one of Young Living's roller balls on the end to make it easy to apply. You could also purchase individual roller bottles HERE. Then I apply it to the back of my neck and the bottoms of my feet. I also rub some in my palms, add a little Sensation Body Lotion, rub together, cup my hands over my nose and inhale deeply. Mmmmm…..
Impulse and Aggression "A miracle? I bought a bottle of vetiver, last year, and used it with my 5-year-old son who has impulse and aggression control problems. It didn't seem to help, noticeably, so it sat in a drawer, unused. This summer has been TOUGH and I have been at my wits end.
This afternoon, I walked into the kitchen and it smelled like a vetiver factory! My son had gotten into the oil and boy was he aromatic! BUT we had the sweetest evening I can remember in over a year! He volunteered to take his bath, got out and dried off with no fuss, crawled in my lap and we snuggled while watching a show (of my choosing!). He happily went to bed and fell asleep after just one story!
Was it the vetiver factory or a fluke? Well, I guarantee Mr. Vetiver will join us tomorrow again!! I wonder if I just didn't use enough least year, and it didn't help noticeably?" - Susie Y.
Even if you don't think you need vetiver yourself, it's a good oil to have on hand when friends come to visit! You never know who you may wind up helping! And what a great gift idea for an overwhelmed mom (thanks, Amy Maus and Tonya Patterson)! Spread the love!
To get started using therapeutic grade essential oils with your family, I recommend purchasing our Premium Starter Kit! This way, you'll enjoy wholesale prices all the time! It includes eleven of Young Living's most popular essential oil singles and blends, an ultrasonic diffuser (worth $100.00!), essential oil samples for sharing, and 2 NingXia Red immune boosting drinks!

[...] Vetiver Vetiver has a calming and soothing effect on the central nervous system and is a wonderful oil to help quiet an overactive, exhausted, or stressed mind. It is also said to be a good choice in helping to control anger, irritability, or neurotic behavior, as well as helping with insomnia. Many people have had excellent results using this oil on children with ADD/ADHD, OCD, anxiety, or sensory issues. [...]

Hi there! I have recently discovered Vetiver myself. My son has Autism and epilepsy and the calming results of Vetiver have been nothing short of astonishing. Like you, I want to learn all about oils now. Keep up the good work! Blessings, M & E
Where do you purchase yours from? I have a son with severe ADHD and now that it's clear meds are a bust, I'm exploring alternative treatments.
My daughter is in 1st grade and having problems focusing and paying attention. We had her tested and she doesn't have ADD /ADHD. I would like some more info please!!
What was the effectiveness of brain power??
Hi, can you kindly send me an email with the vetiver application? Where would you feel is best to put it on a three year old? Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving!!
Hi there, I find this so interesting – thanks for sharing. How do you apply/use the oil with your daughter? I was thinking of using it in a roll-on. Do you think that would be suitable? And do you have a carrier oil that you would recommend?
My son has ADHD so I would like to try the Vetiver. How do I order this?
Where on the body do you put the Vetiver? I have a five year old son that was recently diagnosed with ADD/ADHD and mild tics and I am very reluctant to medicate him. I have a prescription but my gut tells me no! I love EO and would plan on purchasing Vetiver but I am just not sure where and how much to use on him.
Hi I have a very active two year old that doesnt understand speech and cannot talk. His attention span is very short and crying is a big issue due to frustration. Can you use oils on a child this young and if so what would you recommend and what would be the best method?
Thank you x
Do you just apply it once a day? Would that be enough to get a five year old through a full day of kindergarten?
Hi! What would children use to inhale throughout the day? Very interested in the verviter, I'm seriously considering becoming a rep as well, thanks so much!
Some of the reviews say vetiver is a very strong smelling oil. Is it to strong when placed on the neck of a 6 year old? Is it applied in its original form or mixed with another oil?. Thank you for the help.
[…] The Common Scents Mom recommends vetiver essential oil to help calm overactive children. She cites Dr. Terry Friedman's study which showed a 100% improvement in performance after 30 days of using vetiver oil, 83% with cedarwood, and 53% with lavender therapeutic grade essential oil. […]
I want to try it for my son's TS!
Can you explain when it's more effective to use on the bottom of a child's big toe vs on the sole of the foot? Specifically looking for reduction of ADHD/impulsivty issues.
I just signed up with Young Living. I haven't received my kit yet. I was wondering if you sell the reference guide? I am eager to learn as much as I can. My son is ADHD and I am hoping this will help him.
Are you diluting the oil prior to applying it to skin?
Enjoyed this article so very much thank you for sharing it! I'm new to these oils but very excited to hear all the wonderful stories of healing!
May God bless you richly in all you do.
I would like to learn a lot more about the essential oils used for hyperactivity. I have a 4 year old with ADHD tendencies and my sanity is wearing thin. I worry every day at preschool if I am picking him up again in the directors office. I have read countless books on different strategies and I pray constantly for a little peace to be brought to our home. We have 4 other children (our 4 yo is the youngest) and they were a walk in the park compared to the youngest.
I need to find something that will calm him a little. I am just at my wits end.
what do you mix with your Vetiver? It smells so strong – is there anything that could be mixed with it to help it not smell so strong?
Hi- I've come to your blog, while scouring the internet in desperation. I've got the sweetest little 3 year old plagues by suspected ADHD, severe impulsivity, which prevents him from keeping his hands to himself, and endless amounts of energy, he never stops moving. I would love to give oils a shot, but find myself overwhelmed with what to use, where to get it, and how to use it.
Bumping this up.
Hi there!
Thanks for all the great info! I'm loving the vetiver oil but am wondering if you know if there are different kinds that may have different or varying scents or will simply diluting with a carrier oil help with the potency of the smell?
Also, where would you recommend getting the roller ball?
Thanks so much!
A miracle? I bought a bottle of vetiver last year and used it with my 5 year old son who has impulse and aggression control problems. It didn't seem to help noticeably so It sat in a drawer unused. This summer has been TOUGH and I have been at my wits end. This afternoon I walked into the kitchen and it smelled like a vetiver factory! My son had gotten into the oil and boy was he aromatic! BUT we had the sweetest evening I can remember in over a year! He volunteered to take his bath, got out and dried off with no fuss, crawled in my lap and we snuggled while watching a show (of my choosing!). He happily went to bed and fell asleep after just one story! Was it the vetiver factory or a fluke? Well I guarantee Mr. Vetiver will join us tomorrow again!! I wonder if I just didn't use enough least year and it didn't help noticeably?

Everything You Need to Know to Color Correct (in Colorista II)
Stu Maschwitz's tutorial on color correction is one of the most-clicked links on this site, month after month. His very helpful tutorial was recorded for the cross-platform plugin Magic Bullet Colorista I, but the techniques he demonstrated applied to color correction in general. Now, however, Colorista II is available, and the amount of control the $299 plugin gives you is staggering. When it comes to software, however, a lot of people will sell you a product and then try to sell you training for that product — but here's over an hour of free color correction tutorials from Stu.

Magic Bullet Colorista II: the Top Cross-Platform Color Correction Tool for Indies?
Magic Bullet Colorista is one of the more indispensable post-production plugins in my toolbox, as it is a very high-quality primary color corrector. I like Colorista because it's powerful, it's easy to use, and it's cross-platform, which means you can use the same plugin on Macs and PCs, and within Final Cut, Premiere Pro, and After Effects. However, to date Colorista hasn't offered secondary color correction, which allows for more precise adjustments; with the release of Colorista II, Red Giant has added this missing feature — and many more.

Over the weekend, I scrambled to complete my next textiles project for my weaving class. With the holiday season just around the corner, I thought why not think up some crafty Christmas gifts? My goal: incorporate my weaving into nautical themed homegoods. Check out how they turned out!
Above, I adhered my material to three candles, and added raffia for more texture.
Coasters: I purchased a set of five inexpensive corn circular coasters, and hot glued my material over the surface. I then wrapped rope around the edges and coiled the rope on the bottom. I screen printed the surface; each coaster has its own unique compass rose. Since the coasters are a gift, I tied raffia around them, uniting them as a single package.
Vase #2: Again, I incorporated my weaving and screen printing mediums. I used wine corks, raffia, and rope for filler, while a decorative twig stems out of the top of the glass.
Photo Frames: I also completed a series of matching photo frames (although only 1 is pictured). I mounted my fabric to a cardboard piece, silk screened over top with a ship image and quotation. I chose a sephia colored photograph to accent the dark brown frame.
Try out these simple DIY projects; they're perfect for the fall season!
I began my antique camera collection a few years ago. It all started with a Kodak Brownie I found at a yard sale. I love the way my vintage cameras balance out modern and contemporary interior design, while adding character and charisma to the setting.
These cameras work great as book ends, weights, or can even stand on their own.
I created this tote in Adobe Photoshop. I first found an image, turned it to grayscale, slightly edited the photo, and screened it onto the bag. If you don't have access to silk screening equipment, an iron-on transfer works wonderfully and is just as inexpensive.
Although I have featured many of my cameras in today's post, I have lots that have yet to be photographed (more to come on my antique camera collection later).
Happy Tuesday!
With the fall season in full swing, I've been inspired to whip up some of my favorite autumn recipes. Lately, pumpkin is my ingredient of choice. However, with four persimmon trees in my backyard- it was time for me to finally make the first persimmon pudding of the season. After picking two gallons of ripe persimmons, I used a standard food mill to process the fruit into a pulp.
This award-winning recipe was handed down to me by my beloved Nanny…so I thought- why not share it with you? Try it out for yourself, and put your own spin on it by adding your favorite fall spices.
Nanny's Persimmon Pudding:
2 cups persimmon pulp
2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
2 large eggs (or 3 small)
1/2-1 tsp. cinnamon (my personal preference is an entire teaspoon)
1/4 cup heavy cream (can also substitute half & half or condensed milk)
1/2 stick butter
*whipped cream & cinnamon for garnish
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix pulp and sugar in large mixing bowl. Beat eggs separately and add to the pulp and sugar mixture. Next, add the baking soda to the buttermilk, and stir until it stops foaming. Slowly add buttermilk and the rest of the dry ingredients alternately to the pulp mixture. Mix well! Place the butter in a standard size baking pan and place in oven until butter is melted. Shake butter around in pan until bottom and edges are completely covered. Pour excess butter in the pulp mixture, and add cream. Mix well and pour into pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes.
Let cool completely, chill in fridge for at least 3 hours before serving. Garnish with whipped cream and sprinkled cinnamon.
**Note: no electric mixer necessary for this recipe; it is better to blend by hand to achieve the perfect density! (if mixed with a high speed mixer, too much air is accumulated- making the pudding too light)
During my art studies at Indiana University, I have taken a variety of textiles courses. My latest ambition: weaving. Although intimidated by the process and gigantic looms, I signed up for the class. Not to my surprise, weaving for me has become very stressful. It is a very long process. I begin by hand dying all of my fibers, then I wind them into balls, warp them, and dress my loom…all before I can actually weave. Here are a few of my latest projects: a red & black plaid print connected circular scarf, a variety of samples, and throw pillows. Also featured are photos of my loom and the textiles studio.
Scarf 1: red & black, circular, connected
Sample 1: houndstooth pattern, magenta & starch white
Sample 2: log cabin variation, forest green & starch white
Sample 3: log cabin pattern, plum & starch white
Sample 4: plaid pattern, navy & starch white
Throw Pillows: charcoal, yellow, cyan, off white… patterns vary. Microsuede backing.
Warp on the loom.
Dyed wool yarn samples.
Screen printing- colors of fall.
Clothes pins.
Scarf 2: plum & light grey.
Golden/mustard yellow wool.
On the loom.
(above photo: features graphic floral wallpaper from dwell studio & an antique camera, which I absolutely adore. my very own vintage camera collection to be featured later!)
(above photo: yellow stationary set sure to make anyone's day brighter)
I was inspired by the hand drawn tyopgraphy and simplistic color scheme of this stationary set. Using stationary pieces is an artistic way to create a great first impression, or even a way to draw up other creative ideas. Creating your own stationary can be simple & sophisticated- more to come on this later…complete with photos and "how-to's".
(above photo: silk screened neutral gift wrapping)
The above packaging immediately grabbed my attention. The simplistic and organic design is so clean and refreshing. The screen printed graphic floral designs give just enough detail and color. The brown recycled paper gives an eco-friendly feel, which adds integrity to the design without over complicating.
Although my first posts (the 2 exceptions) were short & sweet, keep checking back on Tuesdays for some incredible design ideas!
After contemplating blogging for quite some time, I have finally decided to create my very own creative blog which will feature inspirations in graphic design, interior design, fashion, and art. In hopes to attract design enthusiasts like myself and search for new and exciting design innovations, I will be posting every tuesday. I hope you will all follow along on my experimental blogging journey- it's time to be imaginative, inventive, resourceful, artistic, and productive!
In an effort to let you know more about myself…here are a few words/phrases describing my life:
junior at indiana university.
graphic design.
friends & family.
making lists.
ice cream.
having fun.

Timmy Jernigan is the 57th player profiled in this series of the players likely to impact Florida State's season. There are five days until FSU football. The list is not in any specific order.
Timmy Jernigan
6'2, 298 | Sophomore | Nose Guard
Background (via school bio)
Five-star defensive lineman, who was ranked No. 4 at defensive tackle in the nation by Scout.com...recorded 14 sacks as a senior at Columbia...listed as a four-star prospect ranked as the No. 2 defensive tackle by Rivals.com...ranked No. 29 in the Final Rivals 100...recorded 77 tackles, 32 tackles for loss, 14 sacks and one interception and also ran for four touchdowns on offense as a senior in 2010...2011 U.S. Army All-American...All-USA First-Team defense by USA Today...rated a four-star prospect, No. 2 defensive lineman and No. 17 overall player on the ESPNU 150...No. 6 on the Gainesville Sun's Florida Top 50 Seniors...named to the 2010 All-First Coast First Team Defense by the Florida Times-Union...member of the Times-Union's Super 75 where he was rated as the No. 1 defensive tackle...No. 8 on the SuperPrep Florida 110 and No. 35 on the SuperPrep Elite 50...No. 5 on Bill Buchalter's 2011 Florida Top 100 for the Orlando Sentinel...No. 9 on Mobile Press-Register Super Southeast 120...No. 41 on Tom Lemming's MaxPreps.com 2011 Top 100...registered 131 tackles, 27 tackles for loss, 12 sacks, three forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries and was a 3A All-State selection as a junior and a sophomore...selected the Seminoles over LSU, Alabama, Tennessee and Florida...born September 24, 1992.
Part of the reason I elected not to debut this list in any specific order is to allow myself a chance to save players about whom I had questions for last. Jernigan is one of those players.
You might find that surprising considering Jernigan was one of the most sensational true freshmen in the country, and at a position where freshmen rarely shine.
The issue with Jernigan wasn't work, but rather eligibility and injury. He needed to perform well in summer school, and with a strong second summer session, he did just that and made the grades, much to the delight of Seminole Nation. And after missing spring with a knee issue, Jernigan returned to his old self in practice this fall.
Jernigan was not a starter for Florida State in 2011, but did play quite a bit. Here was D.K.N on Jernigan entering spring (before the knee injury caused him to miss the rest):
The 2011 National Signing Day disappointment over Tony Steward's signing with Clemson turned to jubilation just a couple hours later when Jernigan signed with the Noles. Few true freshman defensive linemen--particularly interior linemen--make significant contributions, but Timmy made it clear from day one the coaches would be forced to put him on the field. He was slowly worked into the rotation at first, taking about 15% of the team's snaps at nose tackle in the first three games and became part of the regular platoon by game four. After Jacobbi McDaniel went down with a season ending injury his snap count went up and he finished the season logging 39% of all meaningful snaps.
His freakish combination of natural strength and quickness made him effective, and often disruptive, in both run support and pass rush. He tends to play with a lot of emotion, which led to some freshman moments last year. He usually had his way against the weaker OL's FSU faced. But his mistakes seemed to be most often born out of frustration when challenged by quality OL, most notably against Miami and Virginia. Which is okay....for a freshman. Controlling that emotion and learning to play with more discipline, particularly after a play is over, will be important in his continuing development. Under Odell Haggins' guidance I don't expect it to be a problem. We also noted he had difficulty, at times, handling double team blocks as a pair of quality OL could put him on skates. This is something that can be easily corrected with improved technique, though. There is no limit to how good Jernigan can be at this level and he could very well be a top ten NFL draft pick.
Jernigan was the top defensive tackle in tackles, tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks. He even won ACC defensive lineman of the week after embarrassing N.C. State. For his excellent freshman season, he earned the Devaughn Darling Award, given to the top defensive newcomer.
Jernigan probably would start at either nose or 3-technique, for 115 of the 124 schools nationally. But Florida State is not one of those 115. That's because senior Amp McCloud is quite good at what he does.
Avoiding The Sophomore Slump
To be perfectly honest, if Jernigan turns in the same level of performance that he gave in 2011, avoiding a sophomore slump, it should be considered a success. Those expecting a major jump for him in 2012 could be disappointed. Avoiding a backslide for a player who was that good as a freshman is a big deal, particularly when he's slated to play even more meaningful snaps.
One area singled out for improvement is his play against double teams, particularly against some of the better linemen. One of our staff members knows a whole lot about line play, however, and I pulled this from a recent email exchange discussing whether Jernigan is suited to play nose guard.
Does he need to control them or just need to demand them? Jernigan cuts off backside scoop blocks [from the guard], which forces centers to stay attached longer. I think he's great at nose guard.
It's a really good point, because if the center has to stay engaged longer, he cannot climb to the second level to block the backer, who then runs unblocked to make the tackle.
With greater experience and time in the system, Jernigan should be able to avoid being dominated by double teams. But remember, demanding a double team is itself already a victory for the defense.
Clemson Of Special Importance
The Clemson game will be very important for Jernigan for a number of reasons. The run game from guard to guard is an extremely vital part of the Tigers' offense. Controlling that gives the opponent a big advantage. Of course, between the guards is the center, over whom Jernigan lines up. And Clemson's center is a good one in Dalton Freeman, the preseason choice for All-Conference.
But not only is Jernigan important against Clemson because of scheme and opposing personnel, but also because starting nose guard Amp McCloud is currently dealing with a strained pectoral muscle. Florida State does expect to have him back in plenty of time for the game (he should be back by September 8, with the Clemson game coming on September 22). But what if things don't go according to plan? What if McCloud aggravates the injury? What if he isn't 100-percent? That only increases Jernigan's importance.
And yet another reason exists to increase Jernigan's importance against Clemson: pace. Clemson runs one of the fastest-paced offenses in the country. And while these "pace" offenses don't often travel well, experiencing difficulty in running with the same speed, they still get a good number of plays off. McCloud, even if healthy, is not a player who should be out on the field for long stretches at a time. A pace offense can make it difficult to substitute. That could put Florida State in the situation where it has a gassed McCloud stuck on the field against the Tigers. For that reason, Jernigan will be needed to keep McCloud fresh, and to start some series in which Clemson is backed up in its territory, as a longer potential drive could obviously result in more potential plays, and having McCloud stuck on the field for a long drive isn't an ideal strategy.
Beyond 2012
Jernigan should have a nice year for Florida State in 2012, and in 2013, he'll be expected to take over the starting role, have a monster money year, and be gone to the NFL.

ACU group playing volleyball for 68 hours, raising money to build Abilene family a house
One hopes that the men of Gamma Sigma Phi social club of Abilene Christian University like volleyball, because they're going to get their fill of it this weekend.
Gamma started 68 hours of volleyball Friday at 3 p.m. and will play nonstop until Monday morning when they finish playing at chapel. Somebody is keeping score, so apparently there will be a winner.
Actually, the only number that counts is 20,000, as in $20,000 the club is raising to build a house for Habitat for Humanity for a family in Abilene. The club has already passed the $14,000 mark.
"We're close," said club member Connor VanSteenberg, a sophomore business management major from Conroe. "We told the family we may not have all the money by Monday, but we will soon."
As of early evening Friday, the guys seemed to be having a fun time, but, then, it was just the first shift.
"We're playing four hours and then taking off four hours to sleep or do whatever," said VanSteenberg.
Four hours may not strike you as enough time to recover from four hours of playing volleyball.
"I know," agreed VanSteenberg. "It's going to lose some of its fun. Already, you can tell some of the guys are starting to joke around, hitting it off their heads and playing trick shots."
There are some competitive players out there who are serious about their volleyball, but it's hard to imagine 48 hours into this that guys will be arguing over line calls.
"Probably not," said VanSteenberg. "But there are some competitive players."
For all the novelty of the event, the seriousness of building a house for a family that wouldn't be afford a home isn't lost of the students.
"We've worked on other Habitat projects," said VanSteenberg. "All the other social clubs on campus are helping out. We're trying to get as many players as possible."
The foundation and the framing of the house will be done this summer and when the students return to school in the fall, they'll pitch in to finish the house. One wonders if the house will last as long as the memories the fundraising event creates.
"I'm excited," said VanSteenberg. "Gamma Sigma did this a couple of years and they talked about how much fun they had."

Tusayan Black-on-White is not unlike other Tusayan White Ware types, but there is more emphasis on black solids and patterns created by the ground. However, designs are generally limited to bands, and often resemble earlier Black Mesa Black- on-White designs in having elements lined with dots. Paint is often not as solid as previous types.
Paste: Light gray


text: The California Kidd, Tyler Heineman, is the total package both behind and at the plate. He's got the kind of talent and tools, both mental and physical, you can build a team around. Look at the history (PAC 12 and Tri-City), do the math and the only conclusion is Pitchers pitch better and his teams win more games when he is behind the dish. Add in the fact that he switch hits, is an on base percentage machine, has more walks then strike outs and I give you the Total Team Player!

Florida is leading the nation in the number of concealed weapons permits issued. A number that could easily hit one million next week.
"I've always had guns, but I didn't carry and conceal them," says Ronnie Groom. He sells firearms and sporting goods for a living, but it wasn't until about a year ago that he got his concealed weapons license.
"Because of all the violence...it's rampid now," says Groom.
Groom is just one of almost 10,000 holders throughout Bay county.
Jackson county has close to 3 thousand holders Walton has almost 2,500. The entire state of Florida has 993, 162 as of the end of November.
By next week, Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam says that figure is expected to reach 1 million.
"It doesn't surprise me a bit," says Scott Hulett, an NRA certified firearm instructor, who owns Florida Tactical Firearm Instruction in Bay county.
He says in the last year, he's seen enrollment increase dramatically and says more than ever women are making up a lot of those classes.
"Especially younger women," says Hulett. "Fathers are wanting their daughters who are going to college to have their permit, fathers who work late at night and stay at home mothers."
Hullett says a concealed weapons permit takes anywhere between 2 weeks to 4 months to obtain. For Groom it was an issue of safety, but others News 13 talked to says it's a matter of wait time. Permit holders are able to take a newly purchased gun home with them the same day, rather than waiting 3 days.

Dear Georgina,
We're missing the island already, although it was good to see the animals again, and are looking forward already to coming back next year for the GP - we'll decide on exact dates very soon and let you know.
In Glorious setting surrounded by countryside, yet within close proximity to amenities and village life.
Set in beautiful peaceful surroundings with views of the mountains and green fields. Close proximity to the 'Ballaugh Curraghs', where you will spot wild wallabies.
