I like a little mystery in the midst of routine. A drizzle of scented massage oil makes the evening fly by. A simple puff of incense fills every crevice of my home with glorious serenity. And of all possible aromas, Frankincense reigns supreme.
Ever since I was a little girl, poised with wonder under the glittering Christmas tree, Frankincense has captivated me. My little brain could never quite grasp what on earth Frankincense was or why it was so special, but that didn't stop me from dreaming of the magical era when a gift of Frankincense was as beloved as gold.
In fact, the mystery only made it seem more special.
Then, thundering in from the far reaches of Oman comes Frankincense Ice Cream. Each nibble is creamy and sweet – Frankincense has an alluring bite of pine, sweet ginger, something like orange zest, and foggy twilight smiles.
In my research I learned that Frankincense is resin (a.k.a. dried sap) from the Boswellia tree. The highest quality flows creamy white and is called luban, meaning "milk," although the color can vary from soft yellow, to rich amber or even luminous green. It just depends on the season.
While you can find ice cream with sprinkles of frankincense resin on it all over Oman, the creamy ice cream as I've made today seems to have been popularized by a woman named Trygve Harris. Her creamy scoops draw Omanis and foreigners alike.
While you can get lost in wisps of Frankincense Ice Cream any time of year, I'd highly recommend serving generous bowls during the winter, when the crunch of snow and pine surround you and your heart is filled with the holiday spirit.
Frankincense Ice Cream would also be a grand addition to a Halloween party. After all, the mysterious scent of Frankincense transforms even the humblest room into a fortune teller's parlor… equal parts creepy and mysterious.
Finally, any ice cream – even Frankincense – is great right now, in the glint and glimmer of summer.
Just don't drop your cone.
No, really.
I tried to stop her. Really, I did.
Thanks to Laura Kelley of Silk Road Gourmet for tipping me off to this fascinating treat, as well as the Chicago Reader for selling me on making it.
*Very Important 100% pure Frankincense oil should never be consumed "straight," but should always be diluted. Please read the following article on the side effects (and benefits) of consuming Frankincense essential oils prior to consuming frankincense oil. While their label may say "Not for consumption", the company Aura Cacia (available at Whole Foods) has stated that (for their products) this has more to do with USDA regulations than the actual safety of the product (assuming that the essential oil is 100% pure boswellia sacra, with no additives). Read the entire article for more information. After reading all this material I felt comfortable serving this dish to my family (as they do in Oman without a second thought). None of us suffered any ill effects. Please make the decision that's right for your family.
2 1/2 cups milk
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
10-15 drops 100% pure frankincense oil (boswellia sacra), available at health food stores*
1 cup sugar, divided in half
3 egg yolks
Breathe in the beauty of Frankincense. Close your eyes and travel to the exotic heart of Oman.
On your voyage you'll need little more than cream, milk, sugar, eggs and… 100% pure Frankincense oil (Boswellia Sacra).
First, whip three golden balls of sunshine with a 1/2 cup of sugar
You want the mixture to become thick and soft yellow.
Meanwhile, heat up the milk, cream and remaining sugar in a medium pot. Slide off the stove right before it reaches a bubble and whisk the hot liquid a little at a time into your egg mixture.
Return to medium-low heat and cook until thickened and the velvety mixture coats the back of a spoon.
Even the steam crawls through the air like incense. Beautiful.Whisk in the frankincense drops to taste and strain. Tip: the oil will want to separate so move quickly to incorporate it (as though you're making salad dressing). Chill the mixture in an ice bath or overnight in the refrigerator.
Churn in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions.
(P.S. Have you entered our weekly giveaway? This week we're giving away a Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker to one lucky winner)
Be sure to enjoy with a little flicker of fire.
And a wisp of a daydream.
Breathe in.
This is your chance: lap up cooling, spiced Omani dreams.
Where incense is good enough to eat… and tastes like a mystery. This is ice cream that's been kissed by a cluster of gentle pines, sweet ginger, and the ghost of oranges.
Enjoy the moment.
Wrap yourself in relaxation.
Let the ice cream lift your senses and encourage a smile to curl up from the corner of your lips.
It's worth it.

You know the feeling. The sheer exuberance experienced when a sweet parking spot opens up right before your eyes. It's probably near the entrance of the place you are visiting and the perfect size to ensure your car won't get dinged by the doors of your parking neighbors. Contrastingly, you might have experienced sheer disappointment after a stealthy driver swiped your parking spot right out from under your nose. Fights, shouting matches and even fatal attacks often occur over a parking space. This past summer, in Kuwait, a man stabbed another one to death over a parking space. Whether you live in New York City, London or Riyadh "parking space rage" is a very real occurrence.
The East & West Robotics Company located in Sharjah, which is a municipality of the United Arab Emirates, has seemingly come up with a surefire solution to parking woes for some citizens in Sharjah. According to the company website, "East and West Robotics was established by the Al Marwan Group to bring technological advancements and innovative ideas within the Middle East region and to give a new philosophy to industrial operations." The company has created an automated parking garage in the heart of the city called The Robot Park Tower that features an automated parking system that makes parking a cinch.
The 31-floor parking garage is comprised of individual parking spaces to accommodate 200 vehicles. The garage features an intricate computer system that identifies empty spaces and fills each with a car. It is very user-friendly. Parking, and even retrieving, the car requires the user to send a "missed" call to a special telephone number. The system can park or retrieve a car in 45 seconds flat. While it is automated, human workers do keep an eye on it to ensure that it runs smoothly.
East & West Robotic predicts that more residential and commercial areas will soon rely on automated parking facilities, as parking in the country has been problematic for years. However, parking in such a state-of-the-art facility is not free. Those wishing to have their cars parked robotically pay in upwards of $1300 per annum. The hefty price tag will force many drivers to continue their battle-weary plight to find the perfect parking space in the least amount of time. Other drivers will gladly fork over the cash to enjoy stress-free parking, for at least part of the day.
Battle: 1757
September 22, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Anwarul Islam
We've all heard the cliché: 'A shot heard around the world.' It refers to the start of the revolutionary war in 1775 that gave birth to United States of America. In June 23 of 1757, about eighteen years before that shot, a similar incident of epic significance occurred in a not-so-known battlefield halfway around the world in India. That case, however, is known not for the firing of a shot, but rather its withholding. The outcome of the battle of Plassey would usher in the world in which we live today.
Plassey is a place in West Bengal of present day India. It is located about twelve miles north of the city of Kolkata. The battle that took place there was between Englishman Robert Clive of East India Company and nawab of Bengal Siraj-ud-daula. It was not a big battle. A few Englishmen and few hundred of the nawab's soldiers were killed.
Instead, the real battle in Plassey was fought in a dark alley of intrigue and treachery, underscored by the incompetence of a young nawab. The actual details of the battle are unclear. Only one thing is certain: the shots that were supposed to have been fired for the nawab were not fired. The cannons under the command of his general, Mir Jafar, remained silent.
The battle mirrored the fractured, bickering ruling class of India at that time. The silence would change Bengal and India's history. It would prove a definitive moment in world history and eventually pave the way for the domination of English speaking people in the world.
Robert Clive, later know as Baron of Plassey in England, became one of the richest person of England as a result of this battle. And that evoked some not-so-subtle jealousy from the established order of that time. He had to face parliamentarians to explain his actions. In his defence, he offered, "Consider the situation in which the victory of Plassey placed me. A great prince was dependent on my pleasure; an opulent city lay at my mercy; its richest bankers bid against each other for my smiles, I walked through vaults which were thrown open to me alone, piled on either hand with gold and jewels. Mr. Chairman, at this moment I stand astonished at my own moderations."
Mr. Clive did not mention about the silver of Bengal. May be he did not find it as glittering as the gold and jewels or it was stored in some other vaults. But for centuries silver and gold had found its way into Bengal as a result of its trading relation with the world. The Rupee, the currency of India, Pakistan and many other countries got its name from Rupa or silver as in known in many Indian languages.
Today, it is difficult to mention Bengal and wealth in the same sentence. At one time, however, Bengal was one of the most prosperous places in the world. Even after forty years of East India Company's plundering, it still remained one of the two leading manufacturing centers of the world.
In 851, Arab Geographer Ibn Khurdabhbih wrote about his personal encounter with Bengal's cotton textile and praised them for their superior beauty and fineness. These textiles of Bengal would attract merchants from around the world, who would buy its products in exchange for precious metals. Before the arrival of silver from the mines of Potosi in Bolivia of the New World, silver came from upper Burma-Yunnan mines which the rulers used to monetize their economies. In the middle of the first millennium, Bengal's economy became monetized and silver coins became the medium of exchange. Then the Portuguese came to Bengal in early sixteen century flushed with new world silver.
Eventually, the silver went back to Europe. Leadership of the world changed hands from Portugal and Spain to England with a brief interlude of Dutch hegemonic piracy. For the British, the taxes received from India's peasants—who cultivated of fertile land in the Bengal Delta—would lubricate its economic and military engine. India became the captive market for British Industrial Products as punitive tariffs would destroy the local textile industry in order to make room for the products of Manchester. The directors of the East India Company became enormously rich and thus gained influence over governmental policies. As the parliament became stronger, the monarchy became weaker.
On a military and political front, the victory of Plassey was the impetus for British mastery of the world. The British gained control of the saltpetre of Bengal, the indispensable ingredient of gunpowder. With Bengal under sole control of the East India Company, the French had to make do with an inferior domestic supply of saltpetre, resulting in a suit for peace in 1763. Ending the seven year war, it paved the way for the rise of the British supremacy in the world.
For the East India Company, the booty of Plassey was huge. Two hundred barges loaded with silver and gold were floated from Bengal's capital, Murshibad, to London. It is almost certain that the barges floated down the Ganges contained that silver the Portuguese brought in. American historian Brooks Adams states a direct link between the industrial revolution and Plassey: "Very soon after Plassey, the Bengal plunder began to arrive in London, and the effect appears to have been instantaneous; for all authorities agree that the 'industrial revolution', the event which has divided the nineteenth century from all antecedent time, began with the year 1760."

It still amazes me, how products that actually work don't cost so much and frequently underrated because they don't have flashy brand names.
This is my first Badger Balm, and yes i'm not illiterate thank you, because I use this for my lips & cuticles despite of the writing on the tin :'for hardworking hands'.
These are what I like :
- the scent. it doesn't annoy me at all.i rather like it, it smells 'nature',clean, fresh scent.the scent will be gone in no time.
- my lips are always dry,cracked and chapped.always, no matter what lip balm/lip treatment I use. Tried Egyptian Magic Cream, but it's too greasy.This doesn't. Badger has this smooth texture, quick to absorb, leave my lips moist & soft.
- works magic for my cuticles.now they aren't dry and nasty anymore.
- it's made from all natural, cruelty free ingredients.what's not to love?
- due to the usage, the tin is HUGE.for $9? that's awesome bargain.
what I don't like :
- the packaging. not too hygienic eh? and i have to re-depot it to smaller container for each usage.
but overall, I love it, and can't wait to get my hands to Badger's other balms :)
I love Badger, the company, their philosophy, web site, cute little tins, the logo ...etc. but I hate this stuff's scent. I really can't stand it. I'm not good at describing scents but it smells like a medicine or a doctor's office. If you plan to buy it, buy its scentless version, otherwise good luck.

I use this and the unscented also. Love them both. I use them for all kinds of stuff. See my unscented review for more.
Warm weather is here and that means lots of pedis, Jack Rogers Sandals, flip flops and barefootin' it! After all those months of neglecting my feet (sorry puppies) it is time to pamper them and take good care of them. I can start off with Badger Healing Balm. This all-purpose balm is excellent for softening those awful chapped areas of the feet--like the heel area. It really works--it won't do the job in a day or two, but if you keep applying every day within a couple of weeks your feet will be nice and soft and chap-free!
I do use this in the winter on my hands and I'm telling you I have not had any winter chappiness on my hands since using this. It is also a balm for lips when my chapstick is not close by...and...tada--if you put too much on your hands, you can run your hands through your hair and use this as a hair smoother. Honest! This is a definite keeper for the entire family. Keep one by the kitchen sink and one in the bathroom. Good stuff!
I love this healing balm. I first tried Burt's Bees hand salve, it was very waxy and hard. But this balm is soft and easy to apply. I love the woodsy scent, it doesn't remind me of cleaning products like some previous reviews mentioned. The scent is actually really light.
1) very moisturizing. If you are looking for a good moisturizing balm, this is it. However, it could be a little heavy if you are use to regular lotions since its main ingredient is organic olive oil. Badger does a good job in mixing the right amount of oil and beeswax, I would rather have it a little oily than waxy.
2) The smell reminds me of cold winter months in NH :)
3) It's great for dry patches. Somehow this works better than just plain olive oil or jojoba oil in liquid form
4) Cheap. A 2oz tint is priced around $6.49 to $7.99. A little goes along way. A 2oz tint usually lasts about 4 months with every night use.
5) Amazing organic ingredients, no mineral oil or artificial fragrance.
6) Convenient packaging, easy to open and seals well.
1) Since olive oil is its main ingredient, it does have a little bit of olive oil smell to it. I wish they could add a little more essential oil to cover it up.
More reviews by missrachelkennedy
LOVE this! I love the minty/woodsy scent. I love that my frequently dry/chapped hands are soothed and healed quickly. I love the convenient tin packaging. I love that it's natural. I just love everything about it.
Well, except one tiny thing... I can't really use it on my hands during my work day because it leaves a layer of kinda greasy moisture on your hands for a little while after you apply it (which, in general, I really like) and I can't do any paperwork with it on because wherever I touch paper it leaves an invisible layer that prevents ink from transferring from pen to pad. I also have a tendency to play with my hair a lot and if I have this balm on my hands I end up looking VERY greasy by the end of the day. So mostly I use it to massage into my hands when I am doing nothin else and always apply before bed.
Despite that one drawback, I will absolutely buy this again and again. The benefits just from the times of day I DO use it far outweigh the one little problem.

This is my first review of anything, so I figured that I'd review something that I absolutely LOVE! I've been using this stuff for years. I have it in the regular (scented) & the unscented. I use the scented on cuts (dab a little on and then put on a band-aid) doing this over-night and once or twice during the day heals it fast. Since I have sensitive skin, I can have bad reactions if my hands come into contact with something that is too harsh (sometimes my fingers can crack & bleed if exposed to harsh detergents). I just put this on like I do for cuts, and good as new! I use the unscented for hand treatments at night. I moisten my hands with a little bit of water, work in some balm, and put a pair of gloves on. I get pretty good results. If my hands are really wrecked, I usually need to do this 2 or 3 nights to really get them back to normal. I also use this on my lips sometimes. I have said before that if I was trapped on an island that this is something I want with me for sure! I would also like to add that it is greasey/oily. That would be because it has olive oil, castor oil & beeswax. Personally, I don't mind this since it works for me so well. I also love their lip balms. I'm never without them.

The trick is finding out how this works best for you. I have extremely dry legs and still prefer Eucerin on my legs and feet. The product has a creamy/waxy texture that turns oily as you rub it onto the skin.
I find this works wonders on two fronts:
1. It's the best cuticle cream.
2. I frequently cook and usually get minor burns on my forearms at least once a week. This is a great moisturizer for the entire forearm. As the burn heals, this helps expedite the healing and reduces peeling and scarring.
Now if they could get rid of the play-doh mixed with something medicinal scent.
I love love love this stuff! I am a serious badger balm lover, and this was the fist one I have ever purchased, ...now I have a few different types. I had psoriasis on my elbows and I thought I would buy this and try it on them, let me tell you it worked wonders,my skin cleared up within like a week or two. I also use it on my hands because I pick hangnails and skin around my fingers, and so I use this stuff on them, makes them softer and they heal faster. I have pretty much used this for everything even on scrapes I want to heal fast, after it is to the healing stage I will rub some of this on and it makes scrapes vanish fast. I love the scent, it's a bit minty/beeswaxy fresh, I like it.

This product really works. My husband is a contractor and uses this on his hands, and he gets results. He claims the bees swarm around his hands during the day, but I am not sure that I believe him.
The salve smells great and it's packaged in a good, old fashioned tin. Perfect for carrying in your makeup bag or pocket.

The season is still early and tweaking your fantasy basketball team is a constant. Below are some suggestions for your digestion.
Waiver Wire Suggestions
Robin Lopez, C, New Orleans Hornets (47% owned in Yahoo! leagues)
Lopez is a serviceable center, so if you need one in a two-center or deep league that's likely available in your league, go for the Lopez brother that's frightened of roller coasters. In the past week (four games), he averaged 14.5 points, 65.7 FG% (8.8 FGA), 92.3 FT% (3.3 FTA) 4.8 rebounds and 2.0 blocks. However, his long-term value will be determined when Anthony Davis comes back into the mix.
Ben Gordon, SG, Charlotte Bobcats (45%)
Gordon started off slow (13.9 points, 43.8 FG% on 11.2 FGA) in the month of November, but has turned it on of late. In his past four games, he averaged 15.0 points on 48.8 percent shooting (10.8 FGA) from the field, which includes 52.4 percent from three point range (5.3 3PA), 2.8 treys and 1.8 assists. He may not start, but he's making the most of his minutes off the pine for the Cats.

Sunday night I planted my seeds on the "Jiffy" dirt pods that expand when you put water in their tray. I have quite a few that are germinating, but tonight I think I may possibly see some mold spores starting on a few of the pods. Is this possible? What should I do? Don't want to loose any of them. Please help. |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by slowpoke_gardener 6/7 (My Page) on Wed, Mar 7, 12 at 22:36
JJ, I used jiffy mix this year and had some mold, even some toadstools or mushrooms, so far I have lost no plants. I am very bad to over water, you may have the same problem. I most often just use LC1 potting mix on everything. I doubt that one is better than the other, I just got use to using the LC1. Larry |
Right after I planted my seeds last month, every single peat pellet and seed tray started growing mold. It was a white fuzzy mold that I read was not harmful to the plants. I also found a few remedies both on here and elsewhere on the net that you might try: -Sprinkling the surface of the soil with cinnamon or cornmeal I did all three of these at the same time, so I can't tell you what works and what doesn't. I will say that my mold problem mostly cleared up though! |
Better air circulation generally makes the mold go away. Cinnamon or cornmeal may or may not work. Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes the mold grows on the cornmeal. I often use Corn Gluten Meal as a pre-emergent weedkiller in my onion beds and if it rains a lot just after I've put out the corn gluten meal, the corn meal grows mold. (The mold doesn't hurt the onions.) Watering the peat pellets with chamomile tea the next time they need watering may help with the mold. I don't know why it works, but it does work. Keeping the room cool (no warmer than 60-65 degrees) and with good air flow usually helps. The mold develops partly because of excess moisture. It takes a lot of water to make the compressed peat pellets swell to their full size and peat will hold that water for ages. When I use peat pellets to start seeds, I usually wet down the pellets so they will swell about 3-7 days before I intend to sow the seeds. Then I let the pellets just sit there uncovered for a few days so they can partially dry out. Sometimes, no matter what you do, mold happens. While the mold is generally harmless you do want to try to let the pellets get enough air flow and dry out enough that the mold dries up and goes away. |

I used paper slips as identification tags. I stuffed them in the dirt with the seed pods. They were not clean and a mold formed from them. However, those plants are fine, thank goodness. |

This year I planted an eggplant in a 18 gallon tub with a big stump in it. Unexpectedly the plant never wilted.
The eggplants in this tub are the best that I have ever grown in containers (so far at least). So I created a blogsite to communicate this. Happy Gardening |
Here is a link that might be useful: Overcoming wilt
Follow-Up Postings:
That is encouraging! Some years ago, I had a number of spindly trees cut down in my back yard. I planted a flower bed right on top of one of them and its been great. I've been adding perennials to fill in the space as money and time allows. As you mentioned, even in 100 plus degree temperature, the flowers (wave putunias, lantana, strawberry) didn't stress from full sun. Thanks for sharing. Hope to see pics of your harvest. |

We just cut down 6 overgrown arborvitaes in the yard. I've been racking my brain to figure how to remove the stumps in a cost effective way. Now I how something else to research and learn about as an alternative. Thanks for sharing. |
I think you have rediscovered hugelkulture. |
- Posted by emgardener 9 BayArea CA (My Page) on Sun, Jul 15, 12 at 17:37
nil3, Actually it was reading about hugelkultur that inspired me to try this. The unexpected and interesting observation for me was that plants over horizontally placed logs did wilt as normal plants do in heat and sun. However plants over vertically placed logs did not wilt. Which does make sense as wood wicks with the grain, but not against it. |

Endophthalmitis (inflammation of the inside of the eyeball due to infection or trauma) is a rare but potentially blinding complication of cataract surgery. It typically is caused by bacteria that enter the eye during surgery or in the first few days after surgery. Multiple preventive measures are used to try to prevent infection after surgery. Several studies have investigated different modes of prevention such as the types of antibiotics used, how the antibiotics are applied or taken, and when the antibiotics are given in the surgical process.
The authors searched the literature for randomized controlled trials of cataract surgery that evaluated giving antibiotics shortly prior to, during, or immediately after surgery to prevent acute endophthalmitis. Four trials with a total of 100,876 adults and 131 endophthalmitis cases met the inclusion criteria. Of these four trials, two reported reduced rates of endophthalmitis when comparing antibiotics injected into the eye versus antibiotics given in eye drops. In one study, penicillin injected into the eye resulted in a 67% reduction in endophthalmitis after surgery. In the more recent ESCRS study, cefuroxime injected into the eye reduced the risk of endophthalmitis by 80% to 90%, depending on whether antibiotic drops were also utilized. This study provides the best available current evidence for antibiotic prevention of endophthalmitis. Cefuroxime is used widely in Europe but on a limited basis in the United States, where some physicians have expressed concerns regarding risk of contamination or dilution errors during the compounding process (preparing drugs for ocular use) that could cause ocular toxicity (harms).
Given that clinical trials with rare outcomes need to enroll a large number of participants and are costly to conduct, it is unlikely that additional clinical trials will be conducted to assess how well perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis works to prevent acute endophthalmitis after cataract surgery. Practitioners should consider the evidence shown by the ESCRS study, that antibiotics injected into the eye are likely to reduce the risk of endophthalmitis after cataract surgery when they can be sterilely obtained and delivered.

Langston Hall
No one calls it Langston. North is home to 233 students from all four class years. This modern, three-story building, designed in the shape of an X, has 12 coed sections. It also contains multiple lounges, a piano, two full kitchens, and two kitchenettes. There are seventy-one single rooms as well as a few divided doubles recently designated as super singles. Most of the remaining rooms are divided doubles and quads.
As of 2011-12, its second floor is the home of Sci-Fi/Fantasy Hall in Jewett, Wilkins, and Shaw, and Transfer Hall in Wager.
<opinions />
One thing about North to keep in mind is that it is a haven for all smokers on Campus. At any hour or temperature you will find several people smoking cigs outside, usually sitting on the ledge underneath the Starlight Lounge and philisophizing or procastinating. This can be a great way to meet people and distract yourself (especially if you live in the dorms facing North Quad) but be prepared to hear loud drunken conversations into the wee hours of the night. --Sasha 09:50, 6 December 2006 (EST)
My room smelled funny. That seemed to go away eventually though. Anyway -- nice enough place to live, with some very good lounges on the second and third floors. A little bit far away from some things, though, so probably good to bring a bike. I heard it was built to be "riot-proof," whatever that means, but it is a bit creepy that you can stand in one lounge and generally be able to look in two or three others. Like, sitting in Starlight to look up and see someone staring at you from the third floor, next to the elevators. --adcjordan (6 Oct 2006)
I heard that North was in some of the worst repair of all the dorms, especially now that they purtied up Dascomb. --184.108.40.206 (1 Aug 2005)
From LiveJournal
At 230 or so students, North is the largest dorm on campus, but the extremely narrow and dark hallways make it very claustrophobic (more so than the slightly smaller but much nicer south.) It has been quiet in some years, but often ends up being a loud and unfriendly party dorm. The rooms are smallish, but the lounges (especially the "Starlight Lounge") are nice. --ilunas [1]
The hallways/rooms can be a bit claustrophobic. Supposedly it's built on the same plans as South, but somehow South never gave me that impression. --jude [2]
I stayed here with a friend from home when I was a prospie. Average divided-doubleness EXCEPT THERE WAS A GIANT CENTIPEDE/MILLIPEDE/DEVIL-INCARNATE perched menancingly on her desk one morning. It was killed and thrown out of the window after I bolted out of the room whimpering. They have an air-conditioned lounge, I hear. --kittykenko [3]
I've had a few friends in North, which has turned out to be very convenient. Though North is by no mens the center of campus, it has the largest lounges and quads in (relative) abundance, so it quickly became a good place for my friends and I to meet up in. I wouldn't recommend this so much if you like to get to sleep earlier, but the environment in North, whether or not you're in a quad, is a good way to meet a few good friends. It's been a fairly loud dorm this year (2003-2004), but that varies a lot with what floor you're on (the first and third are more active than the second). I like North because I played DDR there all the time first semester. --rchicken [4]
When I was there, it was an extremly quiet dorm, but one that lent itself to communities. Part of this was the divided doubles--you had a roommate, but you also had your space. I found many friends there my freshman year, and had no complaints. I have been informed, however, that this has changed since I lived there. --researcher [5]
When I lived there it was...dormy. It's a very archtypal dorm (I mean towards all college dorms, rather than Oberlin dorms). More partying than many other dorms. Pretty ugly. But it's the newest dorm (That doesn't say much). It's also the largest -- I don't consider it a good place to make Dorm Cliques, but some of my best friends from Oberlin I met entirely because they lived there too, so it is a good way to meet people. Five medium-large lounges and two smaller ones and 2 or 3 kitchens, making it one of the best dorms lounge/kitchen-wise. Smallish singles, divided doubles and quads --settingshadow [6]
I was under the impression it was loud/ party dorm. This may be due to the beer-bottle cap collection of one of the RA's last year."--anonymous [7]
North I have gotten amazingly lost in, just as a visitor. It can be a bit of a pain if you invite friends over and live in North and they don't. --anonymous [8]

We just purchased a summer home in northern wisconsin by the Fox River. The soil is somewhat sandy - new to me - I have clayish but decent soil at my year round home.
In the city, I love my yews, arborvitae, annabelle hydrangea, sedums, etc. but I'm having a difficult time deciding how to landscape based on what deer tend to eat and I read these are deer delicacies. So far I came up with boxwood, japanese barberries and serviceberry shrub/tree. What else can I plant? I want to be able to mix evergreens in with deciduous. The house faces south, so I was thinking a low hedge of barberries with angelina sedum at the base for color contrast, but I read deer like sedum. I also have a special love for hostas, but I don't want to plant a deer garden. What other options do I have? |

- Posted by dark_phoenix N ID Z4 (My Page) on Sun, Jul 8, 12 at 21:31
Finding things deer won't eat is really hard- in lean times, they will eat just about anything, including things that are poisonous. But for the most part, I've had them ignore my salvia superbas, lamb's ears, thyme, lavenders, columbines, thalictrum, aconitum, rudbeckias and echinaceas, sempervivums, hardy geraniums, and veronicas. They haven't bothered my sedums, but that could be because there are so many other delicious things like hostas and roses in my yard! |

The Video is all that you need to know about Binge drinking , and where you should add a full stop, Try to limit your drinking to avoid health issues
Addicted to what?
As we all know, the definition of addiction has been loosened lately. The authors of the DSM-V are grappling mightily with the issue of "behavioral" addictions, such as gambling and shoplifting, while media and the popular imagination have already moved on with unseemly haste to sex and Internet addiction.
Meanwhile, scientists and treatment professionals working in the field of professional addiction medicine are reluctant to move away from the stance that an addiction requires
a material substance, not an inchoate desire acted out physically, to meet the definition. Hence the ready term, "substance abuse."
It's a slippery slope—but so is addiction, ranging from late-stage hereditary disease, to "problem drinking," to "social" drug use. Historically, there has been a tendency to see addiction in black and white: Either everything is addictive, as New Age therapists and radical rehab therapists maintain, or nothing is addictive and it's all a shell game, as apostates like Stanton Peele maintain.
The psychologists vs. the materialists
Peele is a frequent contributor to Psychology Today, which makes sense in a way, since psychologists and other therapists without an M.D. have been fighting for legitimacy ever since addiction moved from the realm of the purely psychological—Freud and Timothy Leary—to the realm of the strictly "physical"—dopamine transporter molecules and the nucleus accumbens.
The materialists—addiction as a disease entity with physical, psychological, and behavioral components, like most other diseases—have been in the ascendency for some time now, as witnessed by the gradual transformation of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) into a top-flight research agency for addiction neuroscience. Psychology, not so much these days.
The rebound
Baroque theories of the psyche have given way to fMRI brain scans. Naturally, that means we are due, or overdue, for a rebound, and indeed, it's already underway. Stanton Peele is always a good barometer in this respect. A contrarian ready to shred the myth of addiction and the foolishness of the disease model at any opportunity, Peele's stock has never been higher, even though his basic stump speech hasn't changed much in decades.
And it is true that neurobiologists have not been very interested in, say, just how effective a particular strain of cognitive psychotherapy might be. But in fairness, the nurturists, the blank slaters, have had their way with the addiction issue for most of the past century. And they haven't done a very good job of curing or treating.
Meanwhile, law enforcement officers have done a spectacular job of arresting, which is certainly a strong indicator of where our sympathies generally lie on this question.
Science will lead where CBT can't
The scientific field of addiction-as-disease is incredibly young. Psychotherapy has had a hundred-year head start on addiction medicine, and not much to show for all that lead time. So if someone asks about the lack of effective medicines (they are everywhere, but not well advertised and not effective for everyone), stop and consider that addiction medicine, as a field, is little more than 25 years old. It's not quite time to start reassigning addicts to a modern-day version of TB sanatoriums. How behavioral addictions fit into the future picture will depend upon what science tells us. It will not hinge upon what cognitive therapy reveals. That's my bet, anyway.
If you smoke are you really in recovery? Although I've written about the 'blind spot" that many recovering people have around smoking before, it's never crossed my mind that smokers might not meet the criteria to sign up as full members of the recovery club. Not until now, that is.
I know Prof. Tom McLellan because of a seminal paper he wrote in the Journal of the American Medical Association ten years ago, drawing comparisons between diabetes, hypertension, asthma and addiction. He said that we need to stop treating addiction as if it is an acute illness. It behaves much more like these chronic conditions. These days we're more aware of the need to support recovering people in the longer term.
A professor of psychiatry, Tom McLellan is well respected and has had a distinguished career including as an advisor to the White House. When it comes to addiction, he tends to know what he's talking about.
At a conference in New Zealand last week, he said;
"The consensus definition now used for recovery in the US, Britain and France is 'a voluntary lifestyle characterized by sobriety, good personal health and citizenship'.
"By this definition, sobriety alone is not enough to qualify. The citizenship aspect also means acting in a responsible manner towards those around you. It is widely agreed those who simply stop drinking or using but do not change their attitudes and behaviors are not likely to remain abstinent for long."
And there's where the smoking thing comes in. Smoking represents unchanged addictive behavior. Can someone really be in recovery if they continue to smoke?
Find the effects of smoking in the video below,
"Logically we'd have to say no. Why would a definition of recovery emphasizing abstinence from drugs of abuse and good personal health allow individuals to use nicotine, the most abused drug in the world?"
As I've said before, it worries me that half of my friends in recovery who continue to smoke, ironically snatched from an untimely end due to alcohol and other drug addictions, will die early of smoking-related diseases. Does that mean I stop calling them "recovering" or "recovered"? I don't think so, but Prof McLellan does shine a bright spotlight on this particular elephant in the room. And it's not going to slip out of sight under the rug.
However, Tom McLellan also says on the subject:
While work will definitely take place in the future to reduce or eliminate smoking among individuals in recovery, as of now even those who remain addicted to smoking and nicotine continue to have a place in these groups due to general consensus.
There are very few Swedish organizations in the addiction field, and any recovery movement is yet to be born. RFHL is still active as an organization and works mainly with prescription drug addiction, but also supports a network of ex-addict treatment cooperatives. RFHL is mainly unheard of in the public debate and is still kind of associated with its origin in the 60s left-wing political field.
Another more active body is a user organization for those in methadone programs. It was established some years ago and it operates to increase the availability and reduce the regulatory framework surrounding methadone programs. It is often strongly opposed to the other "two nodes" in Swedish drug policy field, the twelve-step movement and the temperance movement.
The Twelve Step Movement, primarily AA / NA is relatively well developed in Sweden, with its meetings available in most larger cities, however, there are no activities other than traditional meetings. There is very little outreach except for "service" at treatment centers, detox, jails and the like. In some cities, there are other variations on the twelve-step program (i.e. Cocaine Anonymous, Gamblers Anonymous etc.). And in the capital, Stockholm, other self-help groups have been established, but they have not reached any significant proliferation or activity.
In very close informal connection to Narcotics Anonymous is an organization called KRIS. KRIS stands for Criminals Return Into Society and they mainly work with peer support, some political influencing, and in some cases, they also operate outpatient programs. KRIS has very close formal links to the temperance movement.
The most powerful organization in Sweden is the temperance movement. The core is called IOGT and attracts thousands of members, and although mostly previously focused on alcohol, in recent times, they have increased their interest in illicit drugs politics.
Another strong organization, with a few thousand members, is the RNS (National Association for a Drug free Society). It is a very visible player with connections to the 1970s movement for a repressive and strong prohibition line.
Do Swedes recover?
Of course Swedes recover, but maybe not in the numbers one could wish for. There are some very interesting questions to be raised concerning the situation in Sweden. I have some questions:
As I've said, there is no such organization in Sweden, actually not even a seed for this, even though we are a few that have come to declare "now is the time!". I am involved in trying to start such an organization in Sweden. For my part, it started with all my experience of authorities on the difficult road back to a life without addiction. It began with the insight that it was very difficult to find treatment that met my needs. Perhaps it started even before that when someone in a pub shouted "fucking addict" to me (that's why part of the title of my autobiography is "fucking addict").
The mental journey definitely started as I shared a train compartment with the president of one of the two existing organizations for relatives of addicts. I was on my way to one of the major biannual conferences in the addiction treatment field. Represented there were some of the above-mentioned organizations – there were government agencies and there was the scientific community – but we, who really know what it is about, were not even represented. (Apart from a little table with information from NA.)
It is like the often-lengthy debate articles the major newspapers, different organizations and profilers write, about what is going on in the addiction area, but you never find us there as authors. It is about us, not with us.
European perspective
In my mind, two questions are central: "Who is an addict?" and: "How can we act so that as few as possible have their lives ruined, both from the point of not starting to abuse and from the point of access to individualized treatment?"
Both issues are central to me – there is so much ignorance and so many prejudices about us that it leads to the consolidation of a strong stigma of us all. We lose a great deal because of this and we should change that.
Similarly, we need to change so that it is not possible to save public money on or by denying us our human rights to get support and treatment that will help us back to be functioning members of society. It is a human rights issue. Who is responsible for this in Europe?
There are many who act politically around our questions, everything from political parties to interest groups, the Swedish temperance movement, for example, has an office in Brussels. But where are those who guard our interests? And as different organizations are working together with a particular focus on drug policy in the EU, why don't we?
Here is a video on the Faces of Drug Addiction,
The answer may well be simple: we are not very well organized as a group, even though we have everything to gain by organizing ourselves to be stronger in order to better represent our interests on the most basic level of human rights and equality. I was shocked to find out that in Sweden there is legislation which states that an individual with former addiction problem cannot be discriminated against, despite all the contrary evidence with stigma, etc.
Maybe it's just as bad in other countries. I am totally convinced that this discrimination is contrary to EU regulations, but who would field that question in Brussels? I have been denied several jobs with reference only to the fact that I belong to a group called "former addicts". Such discrimination must end. I am convinced that the way of achieving this is through national and international cooperation.
It is match night and you go through the last bottle of beer in the pack, having already downed the previous five. Or you have a few last shots on the house before leaving the pub and heading home.
Have you ever stopped to consider that you might be entering the 'drinking danger zone'?
Chances are you haven't and yet you already are counted among the men in America who've become binge drinkers. And you're just one in the 38 million adults in the country who have fallen prey to binge drinking.
Ok, so the question you ought to ask now is…
When are your drinking habits counted as binge drinking?
For guys, binge drinking refers to have more than 4-6 drinks in a short span of time. But this is a grey area because binge drinkers definitely indicate an alcohol problem, but not the kind that makes them absolutely dependent on alcohol. In fact, they won't have withdrawal symptoms, but that is not to say that they won't turn out to be alcoholics later in life. So the sooner you realize that you're a binge drinker, the safer you will be from becoming an addict to alcohol.
So here are the signs that will prove to you whether you are a binge drinker or not—
There is a very thin line between being a binge drinker and an alcoholic – it just looks like there is a difference…in reality, when binge drinking becomes a necessity to stay alive, you're an alcoholic, or near about. So it's time for a reality check, the sooner, the better!
Find the video below to get info on binge drinking,
Binge eating is actually an addiction of a sort – it is an addiction to food, as opposed to nicotine, alcohol or any other such so-called addictive substances. When you find yourself addicted to food – you will eat, even when your body does not need any food! And that is binge eating.
But this cannot continue – it can lead to weight issues, digestive issues, and of course psychological issues. And these 10 ways to counter this urge can actually help:
Usually people respond to stress by eating – because they find comfort in food. So busting stress can help.
3 major meals a day – breakfast, lunch and dinner, and 3 snacks in between should keep you full for the whole day – helping you to fight bingeing.
Binge eaters normally find themselves addicted to unhealthy foods – desserts, junk food, fast food or unhealthy beverages. Stay away from these so you are not tempted.
Dieting gives rise to cravings – and cravings will make you want to eat. And that's a classic case of stress leading to bingeing.
Exercise releases feel good chemicals in the brain, making it unnecessary to seek comfort in food. It also helps you to burn the excess fat.
Most binge eaters deal with boredom by eating! Instead try to keep yourself occupied and you will have beat binge eating to a certain extent.
Here is a video on how to stop Binge eating for life,
When you aren't adequately rested, you lack energy reserves. And naturally the body starts craving sugar and calories to burn for energy. This leads to bingeing. Instead, sleep well and you will notice the difference yourself.
Whenever you are faced with food – stop and listen to your body. Is it physical hunger or emotional hunger. And if it is emotional – just divert your mind elsewhere.
In this note down the time, what you ate and how much of it. This usually helps to draw patterns that can help you to link up your situation, your moods and your bingeing – allowing you to work out a strategy to beat it.
Just like you have addiction support groups – you have binge eating ones as well. They help you to beat depression and stick with your resolve.
So make the most of these 10 tips – incorporate them, try them out and you are sure to be able to beat binge eating!
And so you can decode your bingeing, we have brought you a list of 10 symptoms of binge eating:
All 9 are classic signs of binge eating that has gone beyond the levels of self-help. If you find yourself suffering from a majority of these, then you had better get an appointment with a therapist at the earliest. Look at bingeing as the serious disorder it is, and start taking the right steps to beat it now – before it gets too late!

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Jona!
Facts about Jona
- Breed: Chihuahua/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn - With White
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Jona's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Hi Im Jona and I was just found roaming the streets. I have a huge apple head. Jona is a type of apple, hence the name. I am super sweet and get along with all animals. As you can see in my second picture I love to loung on the couch. I also love to talk to you. Im about 2 years old and weigh about 8 lbs. If interested email for app.
Other Pets at PAWS Precious Animals Worth Saving
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Jona, a Fowler Chihuahua/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chihuahua/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) for sale in Fowler, or seeking a Chihuahua/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) dog from a breeder in Fowler.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Fowler already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Fowler breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Chihuahua/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) breeders who help with Chihuahua/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Fowler paves the way for another one to be saved.

Broccoli "Cheese" SoupSubmitted by: LaDonna
Source: Recipes of Friendship CookbookHere's another broccoli idea for Ute ~ The source of this recipe is "Recipes of Friendship Cookbook", but I have adapted it to make it "fat free". By the way, this cookbook is an awesome, vegan book that was written by a teen-ager. She has developed the recipes herself (probably family recipes) and they are creative and yet very simple and usable.
1 1/4 cups cooked potatoes
1 1/2 cups cooked carrots
1 medium onion, steamed
1/2 cup small white beans, cooked (original recipes calls for sunflower seeds or cashews)
1 tsp. salt
4 cups broccoli[I also add garlic powder, onion powder, and a chicken-style seasoning such as Bill's Best]
Steam broccoli until tender while preparing "cheese" sauce.
Blend small white beans (sunflowers or cashews) with just enough water to cover. Blend until very smooth. Add potatoes, carrots, onion, salt, [other seasonings], and remaining water. Blend until smooth. This may have to be done in two steps as you may not have enough room in your blender. [Work carefully, as blenders like to burp out hot liquid!]. Pour into a saucepan and add cooked broccoli. Heat over medium heat until thick and hot. Serve hot.
May substitute cauliflower for the broccoli; or use a mixture of cauliflower and broccoli.

Zeus mod rewrite 301 redirects
I'm currently using Names.co.uk as a host for a few of my client's sites, and thought I'd post up a couple of bits of code which I'm using for 301 redirects, in the hope it saves people the time I've spent.
The code is quite a lot shorter than other examples I've seen. I'll add the caveat that this has been achieved by trial and error, and I've not got that much experience with Zeus. They work, but I can't vouch for security or error checking...
Namesco use a rewrite.script file, saved in the root directory of the website, as the functional equivalent of Apache's .htaccess file. I was migrating a site from .asp to .php and needed to organise a 301 redirect which kept the filename identical and the querystring intact - news.asp?NewsNo=500 mapped onto news.php?NewsNo=500
I did this with the following bit of script:
Code:RULE_0_START: # Rewrites URIs with .asp suffix to .php and preserves querystring values match URL into $ with ^(.*)\.asp(.*)$ if not matched then goto RULE_0_END if matched then set URL=$1.php$2 set RESPONSE = 301 set OUT:Location = %{URL} set BODY = Please try here instead\n goto END RULE_0_END:
Code:RULE_1_START: match URL into $ with ^\/flickr$ if not matched then goto RULE_1_END if matched then set URL = http://www.flickr.com/photos/[name of photostream]/ set RESPONSE = 301 set OUT:Location = %{URL} set BODY = Please try here instead\n goto END RULE_1_END:
If anyone asks my boss, this counts as work, okay?

The allocation of PCRI research dollars is managed by a distinguished board of physicians representing all the major disciplines involved in prostate cancer care. All serve as volunteers without any financial compensation from the PCRI.
Research Board Members * Specialty * Title
- Duke Bahn, MD * Radiology * Medical Director, Prostate Institute of America
- Stanley Brosman, MD * Urology * Professor of Urology, UCLA
- Arthur Lurvey, MD * Endocrinology * Chief Medical Officer, Medicare
- Mark Scholz, MD * Medical Oncology * Executive Director, PCRI
- Michael Steinberg, MD * Radiation Therapy * Department Chief, UCLA
In addition to their extensive research experience, all the doctors participate in day to day clinical care of men with prostate cancer which provides a practical clinical perspective for evaluating the value of research proposals.
In 2010, the PCRI supported new, potentially breakthrough work with four organizations:
- Mayo Clinic: Research into new methods to induce the patient's immune system to attack cancer.
- University of Nijmegen, the Netherlands: Research to improve MRI imaging (to detect early cancer spread).
- University of Toronto: Ongoing research into Active Surveillance for men with early stage disease. Clinical research is an important component in the fight against prostate cancer.
- John Wayne Cancer Institute: Research developing and validating molecular/genetic biomarkers for solid tumors for diagnosis, prognosis, and chemoprevention.
- Prostate Cancer Foundation: A grant was presented to Jonathan Simons, MD at the 2010 Prostate Cancer Conference. Dr. Simons said it will be used to support prostate cancer "DNA Signature" testing at the University of Michigan to identify which varieties are dangerous.
The PCRI has been involved in major clinical research studies that have helped improve the quality and length of life for men with prostate cancer, and we are proud of the important findings that have come from these studies.

(1936) Seizure of Nationalist leader Chiang Kai-shek by one of his generals, Chang Hsüeh-liang (Zhang Xueliang; 1898–2001), in order to persuade Chiang to postpone his war on the Chinese communists until the invading Japanese had been defeated. As a result of the incident, the Nationalists and communists formed an alliance that turned its attention to the Japanese in Manchuria. See also Manchukuo; People's Liberation Army.

When to Send Out Wedding Invitations
Once you've found the perfect invitation (you should be shopping around about six months before the big day) and settled on what it should say, it's time to make it official and put the invites in the mail. But how far in advance should you send out wedding invitations?
The general rule of thumb: Mail invitations six to eight weeks before the ceremony, setting the RSVP date at three weeks after the postmark date. This gives guests plenty of time to check their schedules and make any necessary travel arrangements. Plus, it provides plenty of time for you to get a final headcount and make seating charts.

Citizen's Police Academy: Week 4
CEDAR RAPIDS, IA (CBS 2/FOX 28) -- CBS 2/FOX 28 continues to give you a look behind the scenes at the Cedar Rapids Police Department with the Citizen's Police Academy.
This week, we get a look at the criminal investigations division - which includes everything from polygraph testing, to narcotics investigations.
We learned that when it comes to criminal investigations, quite often routine is a rarity. It's a world where an ordinary can of cheese puffs can be hollowed out and used as a hiding place for drugs.
In collecting these pieces of evidence, and solving crimes, it helps to separate truth from fiction. That's why, among many tools, polygraph testing comes in handy.
We use polygraphs as an investigative tool to determine who will be responsible for a crime, Lt. Craig Furnish.
The tests arent admissible in court, but they can be used to help narrow down suspects. It measures heart rate, sweat glands, and other factors, as testers look for abnormalities in the reading. The department only does 5-10 tests a year. Many people agree initially, then back out at the last minute.
Usually, those taking the test are given questions before hand. The entire process can take 3 hours.
Next week, we burn some rubber and take a look at defensive driving techniques for officers. Join us right here every Thursday night as we take you inside the Citizen's Police Academy.

I have 4 perssimons planted and growing; one is about 25', one about 10', the others are a 4-5 years old, but still very small. The larger ones I planted at least 10 years ago, and no fruit on any. Am I too impatient? I also have several suckers springing up, but if the problem is that they are all the same sex, they will be the same, too, right? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Did any of them bloom? Yes suckers are clones so they would be the same sex as the original plant. |
The trees being the same sex would explain the problem. A lack of bees in your area would explain the problem as well. Yes, suckers would be the same sex. You could try buying and older sapling of known sex. You could rent a bee hive, or try to pollinate by hand with a brush. Where did you get them? I've been looking for a good source. |
