Borax, also known as sodium borate, sodium tetraborate, or disodium tetraborate, is an important boron compound, a mineral, and a salt of boric acid. Powdered borax is white, consisting of soft colorless crystals that dissolve easily in water.
Borax has a wide variety of uses. It is a component of many detergents, cosmetics, and enamel glazes. It is also used to make buffer solutions in biochemistry, as a fire retardant, as an anti-fungal compound for fiberglass, as a flux in metallurgy, neutron-capture shields for radioactive sources, a texturing agent in cooking, and as a precursor for other boron compounds.
In artisanal gold mining, the borax method is sometimes used as a substitute for toxic mercury in the gold extraction process. Borax was reportedly used by gold miners in parts of the Philippines in the 1900s.
The term borax is used for a number of closely related minerals or chemical compounds that differ in their crystal water content, but usually refers to the decahydrate. Commercially sold borax is usually partially dehydrated.
The word borax is from Arabic būraq (بورق), meaning "white"; which is indeed from Middle Persian bwrk, which might have meant potassium nitrate or another fluxing agent, now known as būrah (بوره). Another name for borax is tincal, from Sanskrit.[1]
Borax was first discovered in dry lake beds in Tibet and was imported via the Silk Road to Arabia.[1] Borax first came into common use in the late 19th century when Francis Marion Smith's Pacific Coast Borax Company began to market and popularize a large variety of applications under the famous 20 Mule Team Borax trademark, named for the method by which borax was originally hauled out of the California and Nevada deserts in large enough quantities to make it cheap and commonly available.[2][3]
150 pounds of borax per ton of sand
it requires less than 600 gallons of H2O, and 750 kwh of energy to produce one tonne of refined borax
Uses Edit
Household products Edit
Borax is used in various household laundry and cleaning products,[4] including the "20 Mule Team Borax" laundry booster and "Boraxo" powdered hand soap. Despite its name, "Borateem" laundry bleach no longer contains borax or other boron compounds. Borax is also present in some tooth bleaching formulas.[5] It is also an active ingredient in indoor and outdoor ant baits and killers.
Buffer Edit
Sodium borate is used in biochemical and chemical laboratories to make buffers, e.g. for gel electrophoresis of DNA, such as TBE or the newer SB buffer or BBS (borate buffered saline) in coating procedures. Borate buffers (usually at pH 8) are also used as preferential equilibration solution in DMP-based crosslinking reactions.
Co-complexing Edit
Borax as a source of borate has been used to take advantage of the co-complexing ability of borate with other agents in water to form complex ions with various substances. Borate and a suitable polymer bed are used to chromatograph non-glycosylated hemoglobin differentially from glycosylated hemoglobin (chiefly HbA1c), which is an indicator of long term hyperglycemia in diabetes mellitus.
As a water-softening agentEdit
Borax alone does not have a high affinity for the hardness cations, although it has been used for that purpose. Its chemical equation for water-softening is given below:
- Ca2+ (aq) + Na2B4O7 (aq) → CaB4O7 (s)↓ + 2 Na+ (aq)
- Mg2+ (aq) + Na2B4O7 (aq) → MgB4O7 (s)↓ + 2 Na+ (aq)
The sodium ions introduced do not make water 'hard'. This method is suitable for removing both temporary and permanent types of hardness.
Flux Edit
A mixture of borax and ammonium chloride is used as a flux when welding iron and steel. It lowers the melting point of the unwanted iron oxide (scale), allowing it to run off. Borax is also used mixed with water as a flux when soldering jewelry metals such as gold or silver. It allows the molten solder to flow evenly over the joint in question. Borax is also a good flux for 'pre-tinning' tungsten with zinc – making the tungsten soft-solderable.[6]
Small-scale gold mining Edit
Borax is replacing mercury as the preferred method for extracting gold in small-scale mining facilities. The method is called the borax method and is used in the Philippines.[7] Watch video of the borax method here.
A rubbery polymer sometimes called flubber, gluep or glurch can be made by cross linking polyvinyl acetate with a borax. Making flubber from polyvinyl acetate based glues, such as Elmer's Glue, and borax is a common elementary education experiment.[8]
Food additive Edit
Borax, given the E number E285, is used as a food additive in some countries, but is banned in the US. As a consequence, certain foods, such as caviar, produced for sale in the US contain higher levels of salt to assist preservation.[9] Its use as a cooking ingredient is to add a firm rubbery texture to the food, or as a preservative. In oriental cooking it is mostly used for its texturing properties. In Asia, Borax (Chinese: 硼砂; pinyin: péng shā) or (Chinese: 月石; pinyin: yuè shí) was found to have been added to some Chinese foods like hand-pulled noodles lamian and some rice noodles like Shahe fen, Kway Teow, and Chee Cheong Fun recipes.[10] In Indonesia it is a common, but forbidden, additive to such foods as noodles, bakso (meatballs), and steamed rice. The country's Directorate of Consumer Protection warns of the risk of liver cancer with high consumption over a period of 5–10 years.[11]
Other uses Edit
- Ingredient in enamel glazes
- Component of glass, pottery, and ceramics
- Borax can be used as an additive in ceramic slips and glazes to improve fit on wet, greenware, and bisque.
- Fire retardant
- Anti-fungal compound for fiberglass and cellulose insulation
- Moth proofing 10% solution for wool[12]
- Anti-fungal foot soak
- Precursor for sodium perborate monohydrate that is used in detergents, as well as for boric acid and other borates
- Tackifier ingredient in casein, starch and dextrin based adhesives
- Precursor for Boric acid, a tackifier ingredient in polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl alcohol based adhesives
- Fluoride detoxification
- Treatment for thrush in horses' hooves
- Used to make indelible ink for dip pens by dissolving shellac into heated borax
- Curing agent for snake skins
- Curing agent for salmon eggs, for use in sport fishing for salmon
- Swimming pool buffering agent to control the pH
- Neutron absorber, used in nuclear reactors and spent fuel pools to control reactivity and to shut down a nuclear chain reaction
- As a micronutrient fertilizer to correct boron-deficient soils.[13]
- To clean the brain cavity of a skull for mounting
- To color fires with a green tint[14]
- Was traditionally used to coat dry-cured meats such as hams to protect them from becoming fly-blown during further storage.
- Is found in some commercial vitamin supplements
- For stopping car radiator and engine block leaks[15]
- As an important component in Slime[16]
- Is used by the modern Blacksmith in the process of Forge Welding. (Different from fabrication Gas or Electric style welding)
Natural sources Edit
Borax occurs naturally in evaporite deposits produced by the repeated evaporation of seasonal lakes. The most commercially important deposits are found in Turkey; Boron, California; and Searles Lake, California. Also, borax has been found at many other locations in the Southwestern United States, the Atacama desert in Chile, newly-discovered deposits in Bolivia, and in Tibet and Romania. Borax can also be produced synthetically from other boron compounds. Naturally occurring Borax, (known by the trade name Rasorite – 46 in USA and many other countries) is refined by a process of re-crystallization.[17]
Toxicity Edit
Borax, sodium tetraborate decahydrate, is not acutely toxic.[18] Its LD50 (median lethal dose) score is tested at 2.66 g/kg in rats:[19] a significant dose of the chemical is needed to cause severe symptoms or death. The lethal dose is not necessarily the same for humans.
Sufficient exposure to borax dust can cause respiratory and skin irritation. Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal distress including nausea, persistent vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Effects on the vascular system and brain include headaches and lethargy, but are less frequent. "In severe poisonings, a beefy red skin rash affecting palms, soles, buttocks and scrotum has been described. With severe poisoning, erythematous and exfoliative rash, unconsciousness, respiratory depression, and renal failure."[20]
Borax was added to the Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC) candidate list on 16 December 2010. The SVHC candidate list is part of the EU Regulations on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals 2006 (REACH), and the addition was based on the revised classification of Borax as toxic for reproduction category 1B under the CLP Regulations. Substances and mixtures imported into the EU which contain Borax are now required to be labelled with the warnings "May damage fertility" and "May damage the unborn child".[21]
Chemistry Edit
The term borax is often used for a number of closely related minerals or chemical compounds that differ in their crystal water content:
- Anhydrous borax (Na2B4O7)
- Borax pentahydrate (Na2B4O7·5H2O)
- Borax decahydrate (Na2B4O7·10H2O)
Borax is generally described as Na2B4O7·10H2O. However, it is better formulated as Na2[B4O5(OH)4]·8H2O, since borax contains the [B4O5(OH)4]2−</sub> ion. In this structure, there are two four-coordinate boron atoms (two BO4 tetrahedra) and two three-coordinate boron atoms (two BO3 triangles).
Borax is also easily converted to boric acid and other borates, which have many applications. Its reaction with hydrochloric acid to form boric acid is:
- Na2B4O7·10H2O + 2 HCl → 4 H3BO3 + 2 NaCl + 5 H2O
The "decahydrate" is sufficiently stable to find use as a primary standard for acid base titrimetry.[22]
When borax is added to a flame, it produces a yellow green color.[23] This property has been tried in amateur fireworks,[citation needed] but borax in this use is not popular because its waters of hydration inhibit combustion of compositions and make it an inferior source of the boron that is responsible for most of the green color, and that is overwhelmed by the yellow contributed to the flame by sodium.
However, commercially available borax can be mixed with flammables such as methanol to give the characteristic green flame of boron when ignited, which then slowly gives way to the characteristic yellow-orange flame of the sodium.

What has the name of the site (BankAlt) got to do with its purpose?
Nothing much really. I picked the name because it's a term familiar to World of Warcraft players, it is simple to remember and also short. Not in the least, it was one of the few WoW-sounding domains still available. Oh, and isn't usually your bank alt's job to buy mats for your characters' crafting professions?
Is BankAlt free?
Yes, and there are no plans to change this. The site will be primarily supported by ads and I might introduce a "premium" feature at a later date which gives access to some convenience features.
Is the service provided by BankAlt really that useful?
That is up to each individual. Some may find it useful while others may not. For me it is certainly useful. Whether your math skills are sharp or not, I'm sure most will agree that it's easier to rely on a service which tells you the exact number of base components that a particular recipe requires. If you don't feel that this service is for you, thanks for visiting and please spread the word. Others might find a better use for it.
Some professions/recipes are missing. What gives?
I have decided not to include a few professions such as Skinning and Herbalism. I don't feel there is any practical purpose to list sub-components for the mats that these professions collect simply because there are no sub-components. The exception is skinning with lower quantity skins but usually those are too low level for people to bother with. On the other hand I have included Mining because there are various bars which require several other components to craft. Some, like Titansteel Bars are used by miners to make some extra cash from smelting them for a commission.
At this point I'm also omitting Cooking and I might add it later if there is demand for it.
As for the missing recipes... During testing I have discovered a few recipes which were problematic. Specifically, certain items were prone to creating endless loops due to their nature and I had to remove them in order to keep the site stable. Rest assured, most of these were various transmutes such as Fire to Life, Life to Fire, etc. You can see how these have the potential for creating an infinite cycle. At any rate, the relationship between the "main item" and its "component" is 1:1 so there's no need for a calculator.
What are other exceptions?
I've also decided not to drill down into Primals/Eternals which are created from motes or crystallized thingamajigs. Everyone should know at this point that 10 motes = 1 Primal and so on. Besides, Primals and Eternals don't require a profession to create so they don't really fit anywhere under the current system.
Why not "expand" all mats all the time?
I guess it would be easier for people to see the whole drilled-down list of materials and sub-components when loading one of the profession pages, without the need for clicking the "Expand" button. However, there are 2 main (and very important reason) why this isn't practical. Number 1 is the fact that there are some heavy calculations going on in order to retrieve the component "tree". Making hundreds (or even tens) of requests to the server each time a profession page is loaded is simply not practical. Number 2 is aesthetics. Having all those component trees sprawled out on the page doesn't look good and in some cases, just one recipe may take half the page, requiring the user to scroll and scroll and scroll and... you get it.
Your graphic/web design sucks!
This is not a question. But I get what you are saying. While I agree that the site is not heavy on the eye-candy, I believe that functionally it does what it is supposed to. For one thing, this is a one-man project. My skills are more on the coding side rather than design. For another, I like functional websites to be functional. I don't believe that adding tons of graphics would help the functionality of this application in any way. As a added bonus, the sparsity of graphics should make for a fast-loading site.
I have found a bug/error/problem on the site. What do I do?
Though the site has been tested under a variety of simulated conditions, bugs and errors will inevitably occur from time to time, especially while the site is still young. I would appreciate if you could report the problem, preferably with a description of how to replicate it. To report, please shoot me an email at the address provided on the Contact page.

An Analysis of the Growing Spectacle of Coffin Design in Ghana
Abstract: AThroughout West Africa, funerals are important events that convey powerful burial practices of using rituals of joy to ease sorrow. In the 1950s, the introduction of a new genre of coffin designs known as fantasy coffins served as a symbolic visual tool that reflected the dynamics of Ghanaian cultures. Coffins shaped like cocoa pod, airplane, chili pepper, and fish honored the career or accomplishments of the deceased. Today, the fantasy coffin is still gaining popularity among the working class in the Ga ethnic group. However, an alienated elite class in Ghana, deem the manner in which the coffin is used as primitive since it suggests indigenous Ghanaian religions and funerary beliefs. On the other hand, the revolutionary coffin reflects a Ga negotiation of their post-colonial identity in relations to the centrality of ancestors and burial rituals to indicate the importance of the site upon which these negotiations occur.
The coffin's ability to be appropriated for different uses and context enables it to be assigned under categorizes such as: "New Functional art," popular, and tourist arts. My project confirms that, the continual production of fantasy coffins is a result of their ability to change, absorb new ideas, and situations. These coffins recall the patrons' lives, but also reflect a positive Ga identity

Localization in Asp.Net
Since I changed to English for this blog I realised that I had to change the language of the single webpage of www.invitationaltour.com.
So I took the chance of developing a "proof-of-concept" for localization, which actually was harder than I thought when you are using master pages in asp.net. Before I started I was sure it was only a matter of setting the currentuiculture of the current thread, since the page class has a property named Culture which can be set to change the culture for a page, but it was more to it than that. I did a simplified version of localization, and in the future I will make a more appropriate solution and will write a post about that solution. For now I just wanted to localize a single page, which are nested in a master page. The correct language should be determined by the browsers language settings. So, here it is.
First, I use the Localization control. You can use a literal control, they are exact the same, but the localisation control allows you to edit the text in design mode.
<h1> <asp:Localize ID="Header1" meta:resourceKey="Header1" runat="server" Text="Välkommen!"/> </h1>
Välkommen is Swedish for Welcome, and Swedish is the default language for the site. This is the first word on the page at www.invitationaltour.com
Next I created a folder under my solution and named it App_LocalResources. Resource files under App_LocalResources are page specific, and resources in the folder App_GlobalResources are application specific, and should be the place to store words that are used through out the application.
Next, I added a resource file to the App_LocalResources and named the file to Default.aspx.resx. Double click on that file and an editor i shown where you can add and edit localised words. This file has no culture info in it, so the words in this file will be the default language for the page.
Add a new item by typing Header1.Text in the name column, and the value for the text in the Value column. As you can see in my asp.net code, I've named both the ID and the meta:resourceKey to "Header1". This is the way I want to do it, to keep the ID and resourceKey the same, but it's up to you. The important thing is that the value for Name in the resource file corresponds to the value of meta:resourceKey. In the resource file you also typed .Text after Header1. This is the way to tell Asp.Net which property that should display the text. You can do it the same for buttons or other controls in the same way.
After you're down, save the file. Now we will create a second language. Create a copy of the newly created resource file in the same directory, and rename it to Default.Aspx.en.resx. This is now the resource file for the English language. Double click the file to open it in the editor and change "Välkommen" to "Welcome". Save the file.
Now, to let asp.net automatically determine the language of the calling browser, add the following to your web.config file.
<system.web> <globalization culture="auto" uiCulture="auto"/>
This will tell the asp.net runtime to set the culture for you, and if no resource file is found for the current culture, it will fallback to the words in the file Default.aspx.resx, which is Swedish. So If someone from France browses to this page, they will see the page in Swedish.
Normally, a French person wont understand Swedish, so I decided to add two language buttons in the upper right corner, one for Swedish and one for English. Now, it was here I thought it was just a matter of setting the currentUICulture on the current thread, but it's more complicated than that. In the click event for each button, I have the following code in the master page.
protected void imgBtSwedish_Click( object sender, ImageClickEventArgs e) { this.Response.Redirect("Default.aspx?lang=se"); } protected void imgBtEnglish_Click( object sender, ImageClickEventArgs e) { this.Response.Redirect("Default.aspx?lang=en"); }
The above code actually just redirect the user the default page, with a query string specifying the chosen language.
I know that this is not the correct way of doing this, but it is good enough for just one page. When the web page gets more pages, this will not do it, then I will use the Profile class to set the languages, but more on this in a future post.
This is all the code that are needed in the master page, but in the default.aspx we have to put some code also, to actually set the language.
protected override void InitializeCulture() { if (this.Request["lang"] != null) { //Swedish is the fallback language CultureInfo newCultureInfo =
new CultureInfo("sv-SE"); switch (this.Request["lang"].ToLower()) { case "en": { newCultureInfo =
new CultureInfo("en-GB"); break; } } Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture =
newCultureInfo; Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture =
newCultureInfo; } else base.InitializeCulture(); }
The above code overrides the InitializeCulture and checks if there are any language specified, and if so, sets is. Remember to call base.InitializeCulture() if you don't set the language your self, and NOT to call base.InitializeCulture if you do. The base class doesn't do nothing extra than setting the culture as in this code.
There is much more to Localization than I have written about here, this post jus describes a very simple way to localize a single page with in a master page, in my case enough to display a localized "under construction" page. In the future I will user the Profile class and store language settings for a user in a database. The resource files are XML files, I am also on the search for some great editors. Because the way it is now in Visual Studio, the workflow does not encourage agile development, since I don't want to open each resource file one at a time, remember the meta:ResourceKey and type the localized word. I want an editor where I can edit all languages at the same time! For now I make all in the default language, and the make copies of the resource file and edit them in the XML-editor, since the built in editor does not handle line breaks very well. To make copies of the resource files works well if you develop on page from top to bottom, and get done with it, but I don't want to work that way.

It was the year of 1998 when the accident happened. My wife Chelsea Huntington was at home in our apartment, which was located in New York City. I was at work, which was my first week, so they called me a rookie.
I was a policeman, and always wanted to be a police officer, since my dad was one. My mom always told me 'I don't understand why you want to be a police officer, after what happened to your father.' Don't get me wrong, I loved my mother. I was the baby and my brother John, was the oldest. My mom was the sweetest woman that you would ever meet. And I could see the look of sadness in her eyes that night that two police officer's knocked on the front door, and told my mom that our dad had been shot and killed.
Of course they found the shooter and arrested him, and he got life in prison, but my family had never been the same since. My mother began to work two jobs, and we never gotten to really see our mother since then. So, when my brother John was old enough, he moved out and gotten married and had a couple kids; he was a truck driver now.
Anyways, back to my story. I was at work, riding around with my partner Mr. O'Neil. I was working the night shift my third night in, when I got the call. I answered my cell phone, and it was our dispatcher, Patty. She had been working there forever, and was one month from retirement. Patty never called police officer's on their cell phones, so I was a little confused when she called mine.
'Sam,' said Patty. That was my name, Sam, Sam Huntington.
'Yeah Patty; why are you calling on my cell phone?' I asked confusedly as my partner quickly looked at me, then back at the road.
'Well, I have a call here and it's from your address,' Patty began, but paused before going again. 'I'm afraid it's Chelsea, and Sam, someone has murdered her.' I heard the sadness in Patty's voice. She had never met Chelsea, but I would always talk about her.
'What?' was all I could get out. I was feeling a whole lot of emotions when Patty told me the news. I was angry, confused, and sad.
'I'm afraid it's true. Everyone is there right now trying to figure out what happened,' said Patty on the verge of tears. I could barely talk, because I was mad and sad at the same time. They had killed my wife? I thought to myself. Who would do such a thing to a very nice woman.
I tell Patty thank you for letting me know and hung up the phone, and began bashing the dashboard of my partner's cop car, and making dents. 'Hey hey calm down! What is it?' Mr. O'Neil asked knowing that something was wrong. I looked at my partner with tears in my eyes.
'They got to my wife! They killed my wife!' I say angrily as tears where now streaming down my cheeks.
'Oh my God! I'll take you to your place, where do you live?' asked Brian quickly. I told him where I live and he must have been going a hundred miles an hour, because I look out at the buildings, and they were just a blur.
When we got to my apartment, everyone just seemed to be standing around doing nothing. So, I quickly got of the car, slamming the door, and running up to my apartment. I was crying as I pushed through the crowd of people heading to the room, which was on the third floor. As soon as I reached the doorway of my apartment, I just stood there.
There she was, my wife lying on the floor, motionless. She was lying on her back, looking up at the ceiling. So, I run over to her, and grab her in my arms as I cried. Why did this have to happen to her? She was the sweetest and nicest girl you could ever meet. Her nice straightened, blonde hair, with red streaks, was now in knots and covered with blood. 'Sam, I'm so sorry about your loss, but you have to let her go, so we can get the evidence,' says the captain as he tried to pull me away from her. I finally let her go, and just stand there as the C.S.I. team began to look for evidence.
'The blow to the head appears to look like it was done with an axe, but where is it?' asks one of the C.S.I. team into a tape recorder. She continued to talk into the recorder as she scanned the body. She found a note, lying beside the body on the floor and picked it up to read. It had a little bit of blood splatter across the note. 'We also found a note by our victim, but it's not a suicide note. The note reads, 'You have taken away what I love; now I take away what you love. We have to figure out what that means.' She then turned the recorder off, as she put the note in the evidence bag, ceiled it, and wrote something on the bag.
I take a look at the C.S.I. person who is recording, and seen that she was very thin, had short blonde hair with red streaks. She was wearing cover alls with the C.S.I. logo on the back, and little booties so she wouldn't comprise the evidence. Come to think about it, she looks a lot like Chelsea.
As I was standing there watching her look over my wife, I began to hear a loud beeping noise. All of a sudden, I was awoken in my bed, sweating and yelling, before turning off my alarm clock. 'It was just a dream.' I say to myself as I laid back down with sweat still rolling down my face. At least that's what I thought, till I looked over.
N/A: There you have it...the prologue to my new book "The Axe." I hope that you guys enjoyed it and that I explained enough of what was going on. Don't forget to leave a message or hit the I like button if you liked it...and as always...thank you for reading!!!!

GPA killing grades from previous college. Submit the transcript. yes/no?
- 0Aug 4, '12 by DannyjdrSo I had a horrible 2 semesters at a previous college with repeats. Enough that I couldnt register for new classes so I went to another college with the drive that I shouldve had from the beginning but had a ton of personal distractions and hardships, and now I'm amazing myself at how much of a turn around I've accomplished.
I've heard that schools use the national student clearing house to find out where students have attended but I just found out that the school I did horribly in isnt on the list of participating schools.
I know what the honest thing to do is, and it'll kill me thinking about it throughout any nursing school career but I'm so incredibly scared that itll ruin any chances of getting into a nursing program especially being recent grades. I'm just looking for an opinion whether or not Ill be ok omitting those transcripts.
Please help me consider all angles
- 0Aug 4, '12 by xInspiredxI think that you should check whether or not your school wants all transcripts from every college attended or not. Some schools that I've looked into specifically state that you must send all college transcripts. Check the college website, or call/e-mail them to be sure. Once you find out your answer (and follow accordingly), you can have a clear conscience.
- 1Aug 4, '12 by kealykidI had the same problem when I was applying but my school had a forgiveness policy that wiped out credits that were older. I've heard of other schools that do this too. Try to look into that for any program you're interested in if you're required to submit all of your transcripts. Everyone makes mistakes but you've turned it around. Don't let that discourage you!
- 0Aug 4, '12 by kgl_2014I had the same problem but if I hadn't submitted all of my transcripts, I would never have gotten in. Our school doesn't have a forgiveness policy and they don't tell you if your file is missing anything. You just get a letter later telling you 'sorry your file is incomplete so try next year'. Submit everything
- 1Aug 4, '12 by k_girl153If the school asks for all transcripts then you will need to provide them all. One of my friends tried to hide one of her old transcripts because she failed a majority of the classes at the old school. She got into the program and was in her last semester of NS. The school somehow found out about the missing transcript and she was dismissed from the program with only a few months before graduation!
She went through a bout of depression but decided to try again. After numerous applications she was accepted into another program. She did provide all transcripts that time around.
If I were you I wouldn't risk it. Good luck!
- 1Aug 4, '12 by MiikiEven if they don't use the clearing house, did you receive financial aid at the previous college? If so, don't you think it will look suspicious when they see you have previous financial aid payouts but you say you haven't attended any other school?It can be seen as financial aid fraud if you don't disclose all coursework, since previous credit hours are a huge part of eligibility.
- 2Aug 4, '12 by DisneyNurseGal, BSN, RNI am a firm believer that Karma will get you in the end. You have to sign "the information I provided is true and correct" statements when you apply. What if you get accepted and then they kick you out midway because you lied. Is it worth it? You will always be worried
- 2Aug 4, '12 by MiikiQuote from ebailey1218Or worse, they find out after, revoke your degree, and inform the BON.I am a firm believer that Karma will get you in the end. You have to sign "the information I provided is true and correct" statements when you apply. What if you get accepted and then they kick you out midway because you lied. Is it worth it? You will always be worried
- 0Aug 4, '12 by chorkleDanny--
Well, it depends. (Ain't this the most frustrating thing about life?)
As xInspiredx said, some schools want a transcript from every school you ever went to--even the summer school after you graduated from high school, where you took a one-time-only tiddly winks championship strategy seminar.
I've been told--verbally, by phone--"If you don't send us a transcript from EVERY college you've EVER attended, we'll find out--and you will be FOREVER barred from attending this college, in any form, fashion, or for whatever reason."
Ouch!--those guys must have their noses individually chiseled out of really hard rock!
In my current evolution, I've been told, "We don't need to see transcripts from schools where none of the courses you took would have any bearing on our curriculum." Tremendously fair, I thought.
So, I would say, ask questions up front; perhaps the phrasing of your questions (don't be devious, now) may help elicit the answers you need.
- 1Aug 10, '12 by DannyjdrThank you all. I dont even really know why i asked this question. Maybe a sudden overwhelming fear of not getting in, but i want to do it the right way even if it means not getting into my top choice. My load will be several tons lighter going about it the honest way.. my grades though have a rough history, now they look like theyre from a completely different student from one semester to the next and i hope they see that. once again thank you all. corny but honesty is the best policy. Ill feel good about myself versus carrying a guilty load.

Mindy Kaling always looks so cute, and I especially love this outfit she wore to the FOX Winter 2013 Television Critics Association previews, rocking mixed patterns like a pro. I spent forever trying to find an affordable version of her printed coat, but ultimately had to settle for a polka dot number that's not an exact replica, but will still go beautifully with a floral dress. After the jump, get the shopping details on all the pieces to recreate Mindy's look — for $80 or less! Keep reading »

Author's Note: Sorry its taking so long before the drama actually starts. I just want to make this novel longer than others and I don't want to start the drama right away.
Chapter 10: The Unknown
We went back stage after they were done performing. Lance was looking at something on the phone. Andy and Alicia were sitting on the couch talking. I was standing by the door looking at Logan who was on the other side of the room looking back at me.
"Hey, guys, why don't we give Logan and Beth some time alone?" Alicia asked getting up. Andy nodded as him and her headed towards the door. Lance followed them out of the room and then I closed the door after them.
"Logan I am so sorry I accused you. It was wrong of me to do that to you. I know you trust me. I trust you. I swear that I do. Because I love you and I don't want you to be mad at me." I felt tears swell in my eyes.
"I would never accuse you of something like that." He said as he slowly walked over to me.
"I know you wouldn't. I am so sorry Logan. I will nev…" His lips interrupted me. He backed me against the wall and kissed me hard. He lifted my skirt and rubbed my pussy through my panties. I moaned in his mouth and wrapped my arms around his neck. His tongue rubbed against mine and he made the kiss deeper. I wanted him. I wanted him so bad.
He slowly pulled away and looked into my eyes. "I forgive you." He whispered. And then he kissed me while lying on top of me on top of the couch that was in the corner.
There was a knock on the door but we both ignored it as he slid my panties down to my ankles. He leaned down and his lips softly kissed my inner thighs and then the lips of my pussy. He began sucking my clit and I moaned his name. This always felt so fucking good. His lips slowly traveled up my stomach as he lifted my shirt up. "Please." I whispered. Logan looked into my eyes and smiled. He unbuttoned his black jeans. And slid them down and then his boxers. He looked down into my eyes as he slowly slid into me. I wrap my legs around his waist as he started to push in and out of me. He stares into my eyes and I see love in his green eyes. The way he looks at me shows me that he really does love me. I lean up and kiss him. He's deep inside me hitting my g-spot and it makes me moan loudly over and over every time he pushes in. We're both breathing hard as he fucks me faster. And because he's going faster, I know he's about to cum. And just the fact that he is about to cum makes me cum hard over his cock. "Logan! Fuck!" I cry out loudly and close my eyes.
I could feel his warm cum filling me and I heard him breathe my name and his lips were on mine. I was stuck for a second because of the amazing orgasm I just had. His lips moved over my unmoving lips but soon I was kissing him back. He breathed hard into my neck. There was another knock at the door but once again, it was ignored.
Me and Logan didn't talk. He just laid on top of me and I ran my fingers through his dark hair. I kept my eyes closed and just laid there enjoying the silky feel of his hair. I could smell it. It smelt good but I had no idea what it smelt like. I breathed it in and then thought it felt weird so I stopped.
"I love you." I heard Logan say. I smiled. "I love you too. So much." I replied. He lifted his head up and looked at me. "Are you just saying that because of the good sex?" He asked with a smirk on his face. I blushed and sat up on my elbows. "No. But that definitely has something to do with it." I said smiling at him. He fully smiled and tucked a piece of hair behind my ear. "I thought so. I turned you into my own personal sex kitten."
"Is that a bad thing?" I asked.
"No. Not really." I replied. He leaned forward and kissed me softly on the lips. There was another knock on the door. "What is it?!" Logan shouted.
"Can we go now? Me and Andy want to get back to his house." Alicia said. I sighed. Logan slowly got off of me and stood up to fix his clothes. I pulled my panties back up and pulled my shirt and skirt back down.
"It's a school night. I should get you back home." Logan said grabbing his keys. I shook my head. "I want to stay with you tonight." I said. He smiled and nodded. "Alright. Call dad."
"What?" I asked.
He chuckled. "He's my dad too. I am basically his son-in-law."
"That's true. But I have a feeling that dad likes you better."
"The man can't even get my name right."
"That's how he shows his love for you."
"Uh-huh. And I'm assuming that you want me to call because you're too afraid of what he's going to say."
"Maybe." I answered.
He smiled. "Fine. I'll call but we'll need to go to your house and get you some clothes."
"Okay." I said.
I opened the door and walked into the hallway. Alicia and Andy were standing there. Andy was smoking a cigarette and he handed it to Alicia. "Since when do you smoke?" I asked.
"Since I saw how sexy I look when I do it. Andy was smoking the other day and I took it from him and tried it. He took pictures of me and posted them on Facebook. I looked hot."
I shook my head and looked at Logan who suddenly looked pissed off as he walked out. "What's wrong?" I asked as I placed my hand on his shoulder. He shrugged me off. "Catch a ride with Alicia and Andy. I have to go take care of something." He said. The look he had in his eyes was scaring me. "What is it?" I asked. He glared at me. "Just go with them. I'll see you tomorrow." He quickly walked out of the hallway and to the exit. He was just okay a few minutes ago. What the hell happened? I ran out after him. He slammed his car door shut as he got in. He glared at me as I ran to the window on his side. He rolled the window down.
"Where are you going?" I asked.
"My dad. I'm going to see my dad. I'll be back." He started the car and quickly sped off.
I wanted to follow him. To see what was about to happen. I heard footsteps and turned to see Lance. He had a cigarette in his mouth. "Want a ride?" He asked. I smiled and nodded. "Thank you." Alicia walked out of the building with Andy. "Lance will drive me home." I said. She nodded and got into Andy's car.
I got into Lance's red Mercedes Benz. His car smelled like him. Fresh. That's the only way I could explain it. Lance got into the driver's side. He flicked the cigarette onto the ground before shutting his door. He started the car and drove off.
He kept the music down. It wasn't an awkward silence. I was used to it because me and Lance never say much to each other.
"You've changed." He commented. I looked over at him.
"What?" I asked.
"You've changed. Before you were this shy girl who blushes all the time. Now you seem more…..I don't know. Confident. More sure of yourself."
"I do?" I asked. I didn't notice. Maybe it was Logan that made me change without me or him noticing it. Or maybe it's the good sex.
"Yeah. You do. But I'm fine with it. I like this side of you."
"You do? I didn't think you liked me at all."
"I do like you, Bethany." He looked over at me and smiled. I found myself blushing but I didn't know why.
"Well I like you too, Lance. You seem kind of different from Andy and Logan. Like you're quiet and focused more on your guitar and writing than anything else."
"Well I am. Writing is just…….its my calling. Sorry if that sounds weird."
"No. It doesn't. I haven't found mine yet."
"You have a magnificent voice. You should try to get involved with the music industry."
"Stage fright." I said simply. Lance nodded.
"I had that too but got over it when my grandmother made me do some queer thanksgiving play."
I laughed. "That must have sucked for you."
"Oh it did. I threw up before I could say my first line."
I laughed again. Lance was pretty funny.
"After that play even though I should have been embarrassed, I wasn't. I thought it was funny. So every time I go onstage, that's what I think about and next thing I know, I'm out there just playing my guitar and listening to the crowd scream."
"Sounds like fun." I said. He smiled and nodded. We were quiet for a little bit.
"You know what I like about you the most?"
"What?" I asked.
"You seem like the type of girl that can go through anything. The kind of girl who can take any type of bullshit."
"What makes you think that?" I asked.
"You're with Logan." He replied. Then he closed his eyes for a second as if he was berating himself in his mind.
"What does that mean?" I asked.
He shook his head. "Nevermind." He parked on the street in front of my house.
"No. Tell me what you mean." I said.
"I'll see you tomorrow, Beth." He said. I looked at him a second longer before opening the door and shutting it. He glanced at me before driving off.
I looked after him still curious in what he meant.
When I got in the house, my dad and mom were on the couch watching tv. Dad looked at me. "Where's Lorenzo?" He asked. I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair. "His name is Logan for the last time dad and he's at home. We're not together twenty four seven."
"Could have fooled me." He said.
"No dad, we couldn't have." I said as I stomped up the stairs.
I went right to the phone and dialed Logan's number.
He didn't answer at first. So I called back again and he finally picked up the phone.
"Hello?" He asked groggily.
"Are you okay?"
"Yes. I'm fine. Just kind of…….I don't know."
"Where's your dad?"
"I…….I don't…..k-know."
"Have you been drinking?" I asked.
"mmmmmaybeeee." He answered. I sighed and closed my eyes.
"Why?" I asked.
"My dad…..I think he gets off from hitting me. It's like….I come home because the bastard finds some of his liquor bottles in my room. He gets mad and calls me before I get the chance to call your dad. I come home and tell him I'll get him some more bottles and he just hits me….Boom. Like I'm a fucking idiot. He punches me right in the nose and right in the eye. Now I think my nose i….is broken and my eye is half shut. And that's why I'm drinking. To keep myself from fucking him up."
"Why don't you just come over? I'll take care of you."
"No. No. That's not what I want, Bethany. What I want is to be alone. T…That's alllllll I want right noooow. So I'll pick you up from school tommmmorrow if I'm not hung over. Bye." He hung up before I could say another word.
What the hell was happening?

Hemp has long been part of the landscape of industry and commerce and figured prominently in North American agriculture until the panic over marijuana use in the late 1930s led the US authorities to ban the cultivation of any sort of hemp. The need for cordage in the Second World War brought back limited cultivation of the plant, but hemp has remained in eclipse until fairly recently. Recently, licenses have been issued by federal governments in both the US and Canada for the cultivation of hemp and the uses of the plant have expanded as industry has discovered the many uses of hemp. Its versatility extends from cloth to construction, fuel to feedstock for plastics.
The distinction between hemp and marijuana is made quite clearly. Industrial hemp contains only the slightest traces of THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana.
From the film's press kit:
Filmmakers Linda Booker and Blaire Johnson were inspired by environmentally-conscious home designer Anthony Brenner's story to find the healthiest building material available to build a safe indoor environment for his young daughter Bailey, who has a sensitivity to synthetic chemicals. Brenner received national media attention when he and Hemp Technologies completed "America's First Hemp House" for the former mayor of Asheville, North Carolina. Booker and Johnson tell the story of hemp through animation, archival images and footage they filmed with hemp business leaders and entrepreneurs like Brenner in England, Spain, Washington D.C., California and North Carolina.
The screening of "Bringing It Home" in your location is part of a national grassroots screening tour across the country, "We made "Bringing It Home" with the intention of reaching a broad spectrum of viewers – from policy makers and civic groups, to farmers and health advocates, from consumers to the construction industry –with the same strategic message about how hemp offers solutions and hope," says Director Linda Booker. The documentary aims to magnify dialogue and legislative action about hemp in order to facilitate America's transition to a more informed, sustainable, and healthy future.
Alberni Valley Transition Towns Society is a group of dedicated volunteers working to promote sustainability and resilience through a diversified and relocalized economy. Our interest in screening the film is to initiate dialogue about the possible cultivation of hemp in the valley with the idea that it might engender small industrial initiatives to create employment and local prosperity.
Screening Date: October 15, 2014
Screening Time: 7:00 p.m.
Screening Location: Char's Landing, 4815 Argyle Street, Port Alberni
Admission/Suggested Donation: Free to public, anyone who wants to contribute to the defrayal of costs is most welcome to give what they wish.
For more information about the event, please contact Alberni Valley Transition Towns Society through our Facebook page or our website:

With the end of the 2009 NBAA Convention, the BizAv community
has had a chance to take stock of the year that has passed and
evaluate their future prospects. While attendance and participation
were obviously at lower levels than in year's past, the community
showed that it is willing to do what it must to survive, and is
seeking new opportunities and business venues as aggressive as the
current economic climate allows.
This year's NBAA Opening Session featured four primary
speakers... each with something to say that had an impact on the
BizAv community. This year's roster included FAA Administrator
Randy Babbitt; Forbes magazine publisher Rich Karlgaard; Tom
Buffenbarger, president of the International Association of
Machinists and Aerospace Workers; and Golfer and Business Aviation
Advocate Arnold Palmer.
Of course, the issue on everyone's mind was the economy... and
who better than the Publisher of Forbes, a pilot himself, to talk
about that issue and the hopes of a recovery. Rich Karlgaard, who
flies a Cirrus for business purposes, compared the current
recession to the one of 1973–1974, he suggested that the
recovery from the current economic malaise could be similar to the
recovery of the mid-1970s, which was characterized by inflation,
stagflation and a jobless recovery.
However, Karlgaard said there could be good news: Recessions
tend to weed out weak competitors, and the 1970s were notable for
the emergence of entrepreneurial companies such as Microsoft, FedEx
and Southwest Airlines. Plus, he thinks that the global growth that
continues today in places such as China, Brazil and India is "not
going to stop. There is plenty of reason to be hopeful," he

Never Summer Longboards
By jenna|April 20th, 2010|Uncategorized|3 Comments
Follow us through the Never Summer Factory as we watch the construction of the best longboard in the industry.
Never Summer's reputation of quality and durability began in the early years of snowboarding. Designing and building snowboards since 1983 has given us years of experience in testing and perfecting our snowboard designs and construction methods. We've recently taken this experience building snowboards and brought it to the world of longboarding. The end result of our experience coupled with a close working relationship with the world's leading raw materials manufacturers and engineers allows us to bring you the most durable, high performance boards on the planet! Each board is carefully handcrafted in our Denver, Colorado factory to precision tolerances. Our domestic manufacturing and our ability to improve upon existing technologies resulted in Never Summer being awarded the first patent on any type of hybrid camber technology. We allow only the world's best snowboard shops to sell our products. Focusing less on excessive promotion and hype, and more on using the highest quality materials, craftsmanship, and customer service has made Never Summer the world's premier independent board company.

Filmmaker: Katharina von Schroeder
Barbara Minishi follows the campaign of presidential candidate Martha Karua for her project on Kenyan women, which aims to represent a wide range of women all wearing the same red dress, as a symbol of unity and national identity.
She is now one of Kenya's top fashion photographers, but Minishi struggled to make a name for herself at the start of her career.
"When I started out, one woman told me 'you're black, you're female. There's no possible way you can be a professional photographer'. You know what? This is what I want to do and I'm going to do it anyway." Her uncrushable spirit is what has driven her to do her Red Dress project.
"I feel that woman are very courageous," explains Minishi, "however, some of the people who make the most impact in the grass roots you don't see. One thing that was important for me was for the women to stand out."
Commenting on how Africa has been photographically misrepresented for over a century, Minishi says, "Don't look at Africa and think one thing. How come this view of Africa is always the soldier or the starving child?"
By Katharina von Schroeder
What I liked immediately about portraying a fashion photographer in Kenya was to have the opportunity to dive into the modern life of Nairobi. The high-rise buildings of the city, the models and modern streets are the images of the African continent that are hardly ever seen. I also wanted to accompany Barbara to the countryside for her current project whilst shooting the film and show the different areas of Kenya.
For me Barbara is a trailblazer, who leaves the beaten track to try something new against all odds.
For a long time, photography was not seen as a serious profession in Kenya, rather as something for people who have no proper job, trying to get by. Barbara, on the other hand, had always been one of the top students at university. After finishing her diploma in marketing it would have been easy for her to find a good job with a stable income but she realised that she wanted to do something else with her life:
"It was a week after graduation - I just woke up - I wouldn't call it per se in a panic but it was like being hit in the gut, completely, because for the first time I could clearly see that photography was what I was meant to do with my life," recalls Barbara. "You know, some people hear a great song and they get shivers. I realised that often when I see a great image I get shivers, because it elicits a response within me."
I think Barbara also pursues her personal projects with the same resilience that helped her realise her dream to become a professional photographer. Many of her personal projects are self-funded, like her travelling Red Dress project.
For me one of the most touching moments during the shoot was to witness some of the tension mounting in the run up to Kenya's election in March 2013. We were following Martha Karua, the female presidential candidate, on her campaign trail when village supporters of another party tried to stop her from speaking. The atmosphere was tense and we were warned that there may be an outbreak of violence. Luckily this did not happen but the situation reminded me of the post-election violence in 2007 -2008.
During that period, after claims of a rigged election, an estimated 1500 people lost their lives and more than 200,000 were displaced. It was through her Red Dress project that I understood the relevance of Barbara's wish to communicate with women from all areas of Kenya and to encourage a feeling of national identity and unity.
As a female filmmaker, it was of natural interest to me to hear how women in Kenya are coping with the challenges they are facing. I was inspired by many, like the headmistress who had built a school in the slum and also by Linet, a market vendor, who wanted to boost ladies' self-esteem by selling beautiful clothes at her market stall.
But it was Barbara and her friends who I most related to. We were of a similar age and had similar questions on our minds: How can I lead an independent life? Can I pursue a career and also have a family? How can I contribute to my society?
I hope that women and men from all over the world can relate to the stories Barbara and the Kenyan women tell in the film and even draw some inspiration from their initiative and determination.

Coffee-scented candle votives can be a good tabletop finish for your breakfast party or after-dinner dessert course.
And they take all of two minutes to make.
Fill a ramekin, small bowl or glass jar with fresh coffee beans, pop in a small party votive candle (I got mine at IKEA) and light to release a warm coffee scent in your room.

A New Age Christian is a spiritual autobiography in which Detweiler bridges the gap between traditional Christianity and New Age (New Age = the next 2160 years, just as the 21st century = the next 100 years) spirituality in ways that promote healing of the anger and disillusionment millions of spiritual seekers are presently experiencing. Integrated into the account of her fascinating personal adventures on the spiritual Path are well documented answers to questions such as: "If God is Love, then why…?" "Have I lived before?" "Is astrology sacred–or taboo?" Is hell, as a place of eternal punishment, biblical?" "Did Jesus have to die in order for humanity to be forgiven?" "Are we gods–as Jesus taught?" "Who is Jesus–really?"
Inspirational, courageous, honest, loving, and at times heartrending, Detweiler's quest confirms her botton line theological statement: God is Love.

Nashville Rocker Hoge Snags Notice With 'Strong'
Updated: Monday, October 21 2013, 03:53 AM CDT
Stream Fox 17 newscasts LIVE starting with Fox 17 This Morning at 5 am and News at 9 pm.
(AP) NASHVILLE, Tenn. - If you want to hear free new music from rocker-turned-country hitmaker Will Hoge this weekend, all you have to do is turn on the television.
His new song "Strong" will be everywhere as part of Chevrolet's new Silverado ad campaign. The song is becoming so ubiquitous, he doesn't even have to know the schedule to figure out when the commercial has aired.
"My phone rings all the time every time there's a football or baseball game on," Hoge said.
Hoge's life has taken a strange and unexpected turn. One of the few musicians in town who actually grew up in Nashville, the 40-year-old Hoge was essentially ignored by the music community in his hometown for the majority of his career.
"I've always been a ship without a home," Hoge said. "Nine records now and it's always been a thing that I've heard: You're too country for rock and for a long time it was too rock for country. Then there was a point where we were too country for country. I've just given up trying to figure it out."
Lucky for Hoge, there's little difference between rock and country music these days, something he discovered when the Eli Young Band took his song "Even If It Breaks Your Heart" and turned it into a platinum No. 1 country hit.
That led to unexpected Grammy, Country Music Association and Academy of Country Music nominations for best country song, a publishing deal, songwriting sessions with country stars and notice from the folks at Chevrolet.
The company was looking for a new song to drive the Silverado campaign. It's a plumb gig. Bob Seeger's "Like a Rock" was the first song to hold the spot. It was part of the campaign from 1992-2004, but is still identifiable with the brand nearly a decade later. After that, Chevy used John Mellencamp's "Our Country" in a 2006 campaign.
Looking for a new song, the company put the word out in Nashville and Hoge submitted "Strong," which he'd written with Ashley Gourley and Zach Crowell. When Chevy decided to pick up the song, he added it as a bonus track to his new album, "Never Give In," released this week.
Molly Peck, Chevrolet's ad director, says the company was drawn to "Strong" because its lyrics could describe both the truck and the man driving it.
"It's so easy to think about who this man is," Peck said. "People think about their fathers, brothers, husbands, their sons. It speaks to the quality of man that is so admirable in our country. We wanted to celebrate that guy."
Also celebrating? Hoge, who got a new truck out of the deal and his widest visibility to date.
All because the country community started paying attention.
"It sort of loosens the doors," Hoge said. "The country doors can be shut and there's a lot of sort of carpetbagger country somebody that used to be a rock artist, or used to be a pop artist goes, 'Well, that country thing might work, let's go try that,' which I kind of like. You don't just get to come in here and rule the roost."

First the TSA now Wal-Mart: America loses more liberty in the battle for freedom
In a recent press release from the Department of Homeland Security former Arizona governor Janet Napolitano the following campaign, "If You See Something, Say Something" was debuted. Bringing overtones of early communist Russia and the "Watch your neighbor" with it this new program promises to satisfy even the staunchest anti freedom advocates ideals. Several corporate partners are training their managers and staff with regards to this new program, Wal-Mart is one of those.
In addition to the new "old" promotion of further restrictions by big government, recent reports regarding a new "app" from Apple for IPhones has many in an uproar. The PatriotApp™ states that it "empowers citizens to create safer, cleaner, and more efficient communities by leveraging social networking and mobile technology." The premise behind the new app is to report "suspicious" activity to Federal and State entities that are linked with this app. So will this new technology help local police or promote security?
According to the Sierra Vista Herald local police dispatchers already get several calls for every incident depending on the nature of "traffic" in the local area, in a recent interview the following incident was reported, "After a moment, it's clear that the callers on the other end are reporting the same incident" a vehicle collision near Target. "We're going to get seven to 10 calls, depending on the intersection, what time it is and how severe it looks to people," Papatrefon said. Without missing a beat, the information is relayed to police and fire personnel."
When I questioned the department about the app and program, they were unable to confirm information regarding the app, though they were and are aware of the new program by the DHS. When I spoke about advances made recently in the method of "security" being forced on Americans several people made it clear that they supported the TSA, Assange of Wiklileaks arrest, and better security options. I must ask now however, is this approach any different than East Germany, Cuba, Communist China, or the Soviet Union before its fall?
People have often asked the question, how could citizens of communist nations allow what happened to happen, the above answers your question quite well actually.
