Insider Trader: Faction recipes for alchemists {WoW}
Jul 20th 2008 8:32PM I disagree with the assertation that Cernarion Rep is difficult to grind. If you're smart with that grind, you will have turned in Unidentified Plant parts until Honored and from there you have a ton of quests to complete for them in Zangar and Blade's Edge. It very easy to find yourself close to or even over revered before you're stuck grinding out the relevent instances.
Have faith. Paladin changes are coming. {WoW}
Jul 8th 2008 9:11PM Sorry, when I see the changes I will believe it. This is the class that Blizzard has handled the worst in the history of the game and have no reason to even think that it will change.

May 16th 2008 3:40PM I imagine an update to the graphics would more or less keep the same style but just make it sharper. I agree with an update but not something that goes over the top.

May 14th 2008 6:32PM Eh, it's stuff like this that kinda makes me glad I don't raid anymore. I miss the content but I do not miss the drama. Often I found myself in the middle of conflicts when I really had nothing against either side and playing mediator just made the experience worse.
With the advent of 10 man raids in Lich though I may be able to find a nice small group that actually gets along with each other and see the game.
Drysc reveals new arena season 4 rating requirements and rules {WoW}
Apr 22nd 2008 6:58PM I understand there is a line to walk between giving out free loot and having a level playing field but it just seems to me that they are really pushing a gear gap that makes it hard for those on the bottom to progress because of how the ladder system works.
The forums are absolute ablaze over that thread right now. I wonder if they are going to cave in on some things due to the large outcry.

Mr. Peanut and his monocle: Bank toon fashion {WoW}
Apr 17th 2008 4:22AM I personally reccommend enchanting a weapon with Unholy, works really well if you level a rogue to level 10 to dual wield them. A pair of Green Tinted Goggles goes along with said enchants.
I always felt that the Recruit's Boots were better matching with the tux ensemble, but a pair of Bandit's Boots is better since you can toss a minor run speed on them.
Blood Sport: Arena Season 4 in early June? {WoW}
Apr 12th 2008 6:17PM I actually believe that the new season will be release shortly after the opening of the last gate in Sunwell. It should coincide with the item levels that most raids will have obtained by then.
Arenas to tend to bum me out though. I'd much rather have rated BGs if they'd take the time to flesh out a system for it. Objective based PvP has always been my pref. over deuling in a box.

Hi forum-goers! I bought a common sage plant from a grocery store, at least a month ago, and it was looking just beautiful! I transplanted it into a larger, more permanent pot as soon as I bought it and it started going downhill from there. Right now, it's in a sad state. It never really fully managed to right itself back up after transplanting - the stems are just tipped on their sides! (maybe I needed to pack more soil around them when transplanting? Add a stick? I don't know, I 'm very new to this.) I try and prop their leaves on other plants so they get some sunshine and don't miss out. The plant has started turning brown now from the bottom up! One of the weaker stems has even died out completely, and of the ones still standing most of the bottom leaves I had to pinch off. The big question is: What does this plant need? It's an indoor plant, set by a relatively sunny window. I water it a little bit at a time on a daily, or every other day, basis based on how dry the soil is - never having the soil soggy. The other plants I bought and transplanted at the same time are THRIVING in the same conditions! (oregano, thyme, basil, mint, and some dill I started from seed at the same time) |
Follow-Up Postings:
Do not give up yet. However, I think that sage is a happier plant outside in well drained soil with full sun. |

I've had a very difficult time making any grocery store potted herb survive. I think the conditions in the grocery department ill suites most culinary herbs. Outdoors would be best for sage but at this point you will need to wait until the frosts have past since the plant is not currently hardened for those conditions. Watering sage every day or every other day is bad. The plant prefers dry rather than wet conditions. It prefers lean, well draining soil. For indoor culture, something similar to a bonsai mix would be best for sage rather than standard potting soil that has additives to retain rather than to drain water. FataMorgana |
Thanks for the advice guys! Unfortunately since I live in an apartment, having outdoor herbs is hard. I'll try to ease up on the water as much as I can. I've had to spray it with a water/dishsoap solution to get rid of the aphids that have sprung up around my little garden too. Yikes! |
I would try again with a new one. With most herbs I bring in, I put a plastic bag over it and I don't give much direct sunlight for a week before slowly introducing them to a permanent position. |
I don't water mine daily I got it from homebase also make sure you put wood chippings threw I use fine bark and loam compost you could be drouning it with watering it daily |
I think the problem, apart from being indoors, may be too much TLC ;-) Firstly, it seems you have massively overwatered. Secondly, to remove aphids just sloosh the foliage under the tap while carefully holding the pot sideways. Forget the spraying and dish soap.Thirdly, when transplanting your next effort make sure you have a well draining gritty mix. Fourthly, although this is a Mediterranean plant I would keep it as cool as possible in a house and in the brightest spot you can find after a period of acclimatization. Fifthly, don't remove any leaves unless they are definitely totally dead, in which case they should drop by themselves. Sixthly, you say you have propped it up on other plants. I would get it away from other plants. It needs air around it. Most herbs sold in supermarkets have been forced to grow fast and lush for sale to use in cooking, not as long term plants for growing on, so you need to get them toughened up before they will thrive. In sage and many other shrubby herbs lush is not necessarily tasty. The essential oils develop best in more robust leaves which have had to work for their living. They evolved, after all, as defence against adversity. |

Disaster Preparedness 2011 -- Agencies, first responders and the public can benefit today from Next-Generation 911
- A woman in Black Hawk County, Iowa was alone upstairs when her former boyfriend -- who had a history of domestic violence -- entered her home. Afraid that the sound of her voice would reveal her location, she used her cell phone to send a text message to 9-1-1. A few minutes later, police officers arrived at the scene and arrested the ex-boyfriend for violating a court order requiring him to stay away from the woman.

« September 2012 Table of Contents
The beautiful Black Forest region of southwest Germany is a paradise for lovers of the great outdoors. This heavily wooded mountain range close to the French border is laced with fast-flowing rivers and dotted with picture-postcard villages that could be straight out of a Brothers Grimm fairy tale.
The region is also known for its cuisine. Black Forest ham and Black Forest gateau have achieved international recognition, and there are 17 Michelin-starred restaurants located throughout the region. Less well known, perhaps, is the BlackForest's abundance of freshwater fish, which provides an interesting twist to the traditional impression of southern German cuisine as being solely about meat.
The family-run, four-star Zur Alten Mühle (in English) hotel and restaurant in Neuenbürg, for example, is all about freshwater fish, sourced from the Zordel family's fish farm. The gourmet middle-end restaurant, located deep in the heart of the region, also uses fresh, local ingredients when possible to give customers an authentic Black Forest flavor.
The story of Zur Alten Mühle began in 1964, when the Zordel family started a small fish farm on the Eyachtal river in Neuenbürg.
"It was only a hobby at first, but we now have seven trout farms across Germany," says manager Daniela Zordel, daughter of founder Hans Zordel. "The fish farm here in the Black Forest is the biggest trout farm in Germany. And of course we also now have a very nice restaurant!"
Indeed, the climate and water quality in southern Germany are ideal for farming freshwater fish, especially trout, which is why more than half of the 483 registered fish farms are located in the states of Bavaria and Baden-Wurttemberg (home to the Black Forest). Rainbow trout is the most important fish species in German coldwater aquaculture, representing 95 percent of all farmed table fish. In fact, trout production has risen by just under 30 percent in the past 10 years; in 2010, Germany produced 28,200 tons of trout. The industry is still dominated by small- and medium-sized businesses like the Zordel family's.
"It is still very much a family affair," adds Zordel, who has been keen to keep the family tradition alive. "Father and son look after the trout farm, while I run the hotel with my daughter."
The restaurant, a former cardboard factory built in 1874, was in a dilapidated state when it was purchased by Zordel's parents in 1978, but has since been restored to its former glory. Wood, the most important resource of the Black Forest, brought industries such as cardboard, timber and paper to the region in the 19th century, but fortunes began to decline after World War II. The conversion of the old factory illustrates the revival of the region as a tourist and gourmet destination.
The restaurant is decorated in the traditional Black Forest style, with painted window shutters, flower boxes and wood carvings, and serves a variety of regional dishes. Its main focus however is freshly sourced fish. The family's aim, says Zordel, is to achieve a convivial atmosphere both inside and out. The fish menu is extensive, but as in many middle- to high-end restaurants in Germany, it offers surprisingly good value.
Entrées include blue trout cooked in Riesling wine with potatoes, melted butter and leaf salad for €14.00 ($17.25), fried trout in beer batter for €13.90 ($17.12) and trout fillet fried in butter with spinach sauce for €15.40 ($18.97).
Over the past few years, the restaurant has built an impressive reputation for itself within the region. While customers can dine in the restaurant, they can also purchase fresh fish directly from the farm.
By selling directly to end customers, fish farmers are often able to get prices between €5.50 and €9 per kilogram for fresh trout, while customers are guaranteed fresh, local produce. In other words, a fresh taste of the Black Forest you can take home with you.

Coping strategy: There are two main issues here, says Bulik: "One is that emotional eaters are more likely to have problems maintaining a healthy weight." The other is that you never develop positive ways to handle your feelings, such as taking a mind-clearing walk instead of reaching into your snack drawer or simply asking yourself if something is bothering you before you grab a cookie.
Start a food-mood journal to track the following whenever you eat: (1) what you eat, (2) your emotion at the time, and (3) the strength of that emotion (on a 1-to-10 scale). You'll identify patterns that drive you to crave certain foods and can work on finding other ways to deal instead.
Learning to appreciate your body can also help. Even if you're still a dress size or three away from your "ideal," try to focus on the features you do love—strong, shapely legs, perhaps, or shoulders that look great in strapless. Being satisfied with your shape may help prevent emotional eating, according to research in the Journal of Counseling Psychology. People who are content with their bodies tend to be more in tune with hunger signals.

The following is a transcript provided by KTracy.com.
KEVIN TRACY: A little while ago, I received an e-mail from someone asking where some of the old features of KTracy.com went, such as the phone conversations with Vladimir Putin and of course my duels with the liberal media in press conferences. Well, I'll tell you what happened to those features… I got boring. I began taking things way too seriously and stopped having fun.
So, in order to liven things up around here, I thought it would be fun to ask readers and fans to ask questions and do a press conference with the people that truly matter in this world: the people who read KTracy.com.
MARK BOYCO: Why cant the average or begining golfer use equipment that the USGA/PGA would consider illegal, so he/she could enjoynthe game more?!? More Participation+Happy Golfers=GROW THE GAME!
KEVIN TRACY: I was unaware that average or beginning golvers couldn't use USGA/PGA banned instruments. If they don't tear up the course for other golfers or risk injury to the golfer or anyone around him or her, I don't see what the big deal would be. How is that any different from kids or bad adult bowlers using the bumpers?
Then again, President Eisenhower – who was the President who made golf what it is today in the United States – probably wouldn't approve of such high tech devices on the golf course. Golf, he may argue, is supposed to be a peaceful, relaxing game testing the individual and not his tools. So if such a ban does exist, that might be why.
Next question. Hey! It's Steve Dalton. What kind of trouble are you up to now?
STEVE DALTON OF NWI POLITICS: Would love to hear the ktracy version of what went wrong with the tea party movement … With a special section on our own band of misfits here.
KEVIN TRACY: I like how you ask two questions without actually asking a question.
Okay, first, let's discuss the Tea Party movement in general. I don't think it's fair to say that it's all gone wrong. Certainly, the momentum has ended, so that's the best place to start. All political movements run their course. Like anything, they rise, live, and die – some accomplishing more than others. The Tea Party movement as we saw it in 2009 is in that last stage, slowly dying. At face value, they didn't accomplish a lot. They elected some over-zealous fiscal conservatives to Washington and kicked out a few of the old guard, usually without thinking first and sometimes costing the GOP some important seats. That's where things started to go wrong. The Tea Party ran too hard against establishment candidates. I dislike establishment Republicans as much as the next guy, but they do serve a very important purpose: caucusing with us so we win majorities and can set the agenda. When the Tea Party started costing the Republican Party important seats in Congress and state legislatures, Republicans started to pull away.
Locally in Northwest Indiana and in a few other places across the country, the Tea Parties were their own worst enemies. Initially, all of the Tea Parties enjoyed a lot of success. However, there are some really crazy people in this country and some of them organized to form a union of crazy. As a result, the local organization, the "Northwest Indiana Patriots" began to turn into a safe-haven for conspiracy nuts from every walk of life. Anti-vaccinations, 9/11 Truthers, Birthers, and Islam Invasion types were all there. I kid you not, I was accused of being a CIA spy sent to infiltrate and keep tabs on their organization. When I distanced myself from the organization, I was later accused of using it as a stepping stone for my own career. Obviously, they missed the part where I had a blog that reached more people a day than they were able to pull into all of their events combined. This sort of behavior was really the death note of the Tea Party in Northwest Indiana. I think what ultimately killed it was the Northwest Indiana Patriots lowering themselves to protesting, and even threatening, the Portage School Board after they refused Marine JROTC students present the colors at their last event. Eventually, the Marine Corps itself had to get involved and tell them no.
Of course, I told them on day one that they weren't going to win that fight and that they needed to save face. The leader of the Northwest Indiana Patriots quickly wrote a nasty e-mail calling me a traitor and then began allowing hate posts against me on their website for trying to talk them out of using the Marine Corps and high school students for their political function. So, nobody can say I didn't try to save them from their own stupidity.
Anyway, the ultimate reason why these Tea Party groups are dying is because they lacked serious leadership and a message. There was never a good leader in the Tea Party movement that lead it for anything other than personal ambition. Sure, the grassroots leaders had some dedicated people, but nationally, everybody was in it for themselves and nobody could decide where the Tea Party stood on key things like tax reforms, social issues, and more. As a result, there was no leadership and no message that tied the movement together. That's the downside of grassroots organization.
ERIC OLSON: Why is Pi not as good as Pie?
KEVIN TRACY: There are two well known proofs to establish how Pie is better than Pi. First of all, almost every Pie is circular. That means Pi is already in the formula of every Pie. With Pie, you're getting Pi and so much more. Instead of using math, the second proof uses English. Pie has an E and Pi does not. Therefore, it is only logical that Pie is better because it deserves an E more than Pi.
Great question, though. Next!
AARON SIMAC: Breakdown Rand Paul
KEVIN TRACY: Okay!
Too easy. Next!
TIMOTHY HALL: Who is your favorite little rascal?
KEVIN TRACY: My favorite little rascal was Stymie. He was the cutest, and the actor's real last name was Beard. How awesome is that?
DANNY HIGGINS: I can't figure out why Orioles Classics games are being blacked out on my MASN channel on Directv. It is my understanding that MLB blackout restrictions were reserved for Live programming….
KEVIN TRACY: Are you sure you've paid the bill? Again, let's follow Tim's example and ask questions, please. Thank you!
MECHELLE AHLFELD: Who is your beardspiration?
KEVIN TRACY: That is perhaps the greatest question EVER! President Rutherford B. Hayes is my Beardspiration. You can tell he didn't take care of that thing. He just let it grow and do its own awesome thing. The most inspiring thing about Hayes' beard is that his beard was so poorly kept that you KNOW people around him were asking him to shave it… yet he refused. It's that kind of determination, drive, and manliness that America is lacking today.
Chester Arthur is my second one, though I'm not sure of if his mutton chops counted as a beard or not.
NIHAD A. SHAMSALDIN: If a crystal ball would tell you the truth about any one thing you wished to know concerning yourself, life, future, or anything else, what would you want to know?
KEVIN TRACY: Winning lottery numbers. I know, you're all probably thinking, "But Kevin! You're a Catholic and gambling is a sin." While that's true, it wouldn't be gambling if I had a crystal ball with the winning numbers. If I couldn't be selfish, I would want to see forward to make sure my future kids with my future wife are raised healthy and that they have a strong moral character to them. If that's not how they turned out, I would go back and try to fix it.
JEFF KOSTRO: How do you feel about the British based bank HSBC, the money they laundered for years basically funding drug cartels and Middle-Eastern Terrorists, and the fact that yes the corporation recieved a $1.9 billion in fine (roughtly 5 weeks of their profits) but not a single individual that made the decisions and it all possible was fined or recieved a single day in prison? I can't believe more people aren't screaming about this or the fact that the government let them off because they feared more penalties may hurt the economy!
KEVIN TRACY: HSBC is a great bank that I may or may not have an account in, so let's change the topic to something more interesting! FAST! GO!
RICH WARNER: Exactly how awesome is Rich Warner??
KEVIN TRACY: Not awesome enough to launch a rescue operation to save his Superman toy. Bwahaha! I know nothing about that!

Hi there,
Does anybody knows how to break the seed dormancy of lettuce. I have just harvested a few grams of it. After drying and cleaning, I've tried to germinate a few hundred seeds but none has sprouted. please help |
Follow-Up Postings:
Needs light for germination so sow on top of the soil or only just barely covered |
Rosa, I did germinate them also in filter paper under light. Still, not a single seed sprouted. Anybody has any idea? thanks |
They do like to sprout in cool weather...myabe you need to place a sown and damp flat into the fridge for a couple of weeks and then take it out and place it in a sunny area...you should have sprouts in about a week to ten days. |

Historians have said that Halloween originated from the Ancient Celtic pagan holiday Samhain, which marked the last night of the year. They believed that on this day the souls of the dead were allowed access into the "land of the dead along with allowing gnomes, fairies and various other mythical creatures' access to the world of the living.
The name Halloween is derived from "All Hallows Eve," or the night preceding "All Saint's (Hallows') Day after the holiday was co opted by the Christian church." Catholic bishops in the UK are reminding trick or treaters of this relationship with the Holy Day. They're backing an initiative called "Night of Light," which encourages Christians to place a light in their window on Halloween to give witness that they are followers of Jesus Christ. The "Night of Light" is the inspiration of Damian Stayne, who says it is meant to "reclaim Halloween as a joyful Christian celebration."
HOLY SHIT! SO Catholic Bishops are reminding you that they stole a Pagan holiday and decided to make up their own holy day to mask the true meaning and focus the masses on Christianity, so god forbid you should celebrate it the way it was meant to be celebrated. How bout this…all you little buggers in the UK put on your costumes Trick r' Treat like crazy and leave the candle snuffed as it is a fire hazard unless of course its inside a devilish Jack O Lantern.
From the Ear bursting licks of Judas Priest to the Subliminal Sex Panther this minivan = Metal!!!!
The Hundred Year Starship:
The Nasa mission that will take astronauts to Mars and leave them there forever
By Niall Firth
Nasa is planning an audacious mission to send a manned spacecraft on a one-way trip to permanently settle on other planets. The ambitious idea is known as the Hundred Years Starship and would send astronauts to colonise planets like Mars, knowing they could never come home. NASA Ames Director Pete Worden revealed that one of NASA's main research centres, Ames Research Centre, has received £1million funding to start work on the project.
The research team has also received an additional $100,000 from Nasa.
'You heard it here," Worden said at 'Long Conversation,' an event in San Francisco. 'We also hope to inveigle some billionaires to form a Hundred Year Starship fund.' ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Believe and I will tell you everything while telling you nothing. The name be Fiction but my own raw truth always comes through. I went to college for years – never finding my dream. I am a jack of all trades, master of nothing and am just now appreciating it. I am left handed. I love love love to travel and I spend a lot of time in Hawaii. I love roses, coffee and art of all sorts. I love sweet nothings whispered in my ear and hopeless romance. Absolutely hopeless. I used to think models were vain losers. I still think that. I think everyone should get involved and support their community's homeless population. I am a health fanatic. I live in my own world because American societal norms freak me out. Especially organized religion and soccer moms. I can't stand liars. I see it as unecessary. In the end, you only hurt yourself. The truth will always set you free. I do not fear death yet am terrified of tornados. I am a non practicing buddhist yet forever watching my karma. I do not believe in permanence. Life is an evolving process. I am at my best when writing and performing. Life is short. Live it and love it before you leave it.

Third Millennium Bible (TMB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 ((To the chief musician: A Psalm of David the servant of the LORD, who spoke unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. And he said:>> I will love Thee, O LORD, my strength. | 1 I love you, O LORD, my strength. |
2 The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. | 2 The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. |
3 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from mine enemies. | 3 I call to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and I am saved from my enemies. |
4 The sorrows of death encompassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid. | 4 The cords of death entangled me; the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me. |
5 The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death lay before me. | 5 The cords of the grave coiled around me; the snares of death confronted me. |
6 In my distress I called upon the LORD and cried unto my God; He heard my voice out of His temple, and my cry came before Him, even unto His ears. | 6 In my distress I called to the LORD; I cried to my God for help. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came before him, into his ears. |
7 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because He was wroth. | 7 The earth trembled and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains shook; they trembled because he was angry. |
8 There went up smoke out of His nostrils, and a devouring fire out of His mouth; coals were kindled by it. | 8 Smoke rose from his nostrils; consuming fire came from his mouth, burning coals blazed out of it. |
9 He bowed the heavens also and came down; and darkness was under His feet. | 9 He parted the heavens and came down; dark clouds were under his feet. |
10 And He rode upon a cherub and flew; yea, He flew upon the wings of the wind. | 10 He mounted the cherubim and flew; he soared on the wings of the wind. |
11 He made darkness His secret place; His pavilion round about Him was dark waters and thick clouds of the skies. | 11 He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him-- the dark rain clouds of the sky. |
12 At the brightness that was before Him, His thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire. | 12 Out of the brightness of his presence clouds advanced, with hailstones and bolts of lightning. |
13 The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest uttered His voice with hail stones and coals of fire. | 13 The LORD thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded. |
14 Yea, He sent out His arrows and scattered them; and He shot out lightnings and discomfited them. | 14 He shot his arrows and scattered [the enemies], great bolts of lightning and routed them. |
15 Then the channels of the waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were uncovered at Thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of Thy nostrils. | 15 The valleys of the sea were exposed and the foundations of the earth laid bare at your rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of breath from your nostrils. |
16 He sent from above, He took me; He drew me out of many waters. | 16 He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters. |
17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me, for they were too strong for me. | 17 He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from my foes, who were too strong for me. |
18 They came against me in the day of my calamity; but the LORD was my stay. | 18 They confronted me in the day of my disaster, but the LORD was my support. |
19 He brought me forth also into a large place; He delivered me, because He delighted in me. | 19 He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me. |
20 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath He recompensed me. | 20 The LORD has dealt with me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands he has rewarded me. |
21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God. | 21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD; I have not done evil by turning from my God. |
22 For all His judgments were before me, and I did not put away His statutes from me. | 22 All his laws are before me; I have not turned away from his decrees. |
23 I was also upright before Him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity. | 23 I have been blameless before him and have kept myself from sin. |
24 Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in His eyes. | 24 The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight. |
25 With the merciful Thou wilt show Thyself merciful; with an upright man Thou wilt show Thyself upright; | 25 To the faithful you show yourself faithful, to the blameless you show yourself blameless, |
26 with the pure Thou wilt show Thyself pure; and with the froward Thou wilt show Thyself froward. | 26 to the pure you show yourself pure, but to the crooked you show yourself shrewd. |
27 For Thou wilt save the afflicted people, but wilt bring down haughty looks. | 27 You save the humble but bring low those whose eyes are haughty. |
28 For Thou wilt light my candle; the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness. | 28 You, O LORD, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light. |
29 For by Thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall. | 29 With your help I can advance against a troop; with my God I can scale a wall. |
30 As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is proved; He is a buckler to all those that trust in Him. | 30 As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in him. |
31 For who is God, except the LORD? Or who is a rock, except our God? | 31 For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the Rock except our God? |
32 It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect. | 32 It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect. |
33 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places. | 33 He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he enables me to stand on the heights. |
34 He teacheth my hands to war, so that the bow of steel is broken by mine arms. | 34 He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze. |
35 Thou hast also given me the shield of Thy salvation; Thy right hand hath held me up, and Thy gentleness hath made me great. | 35 You give me your shield of victory, and your right hand sustains me; you stoop down to make me great. |
36 Thou hast enlarged my path under me, that my feet did not slip. | 36 You broaden the path beneath me, so that my ankles do not turn. |
37 I have pursued mine enemies and overtaken them; neither did I turn back until they were consumed. | 37 I pursued my enemies and overtook them; I did not turn back till they were destroyed. |
38 I have wounded them, that they were not able to rise; they have fallen under my feet. | 38 I crushed them so that they could not rise; they fell beneath my feet. |
39 For Thou hast girded me with strength for the battle; Thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me. | 39 You armed me with strength for battle; you made my adversaries bow at my feet. |
40 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me. | 40 You made my enemies turn their backs in flight, and I destroyed my foes. |
41 They cried, but there was none to save them, even unto the LORD, but He answered them not. | 41 They cried for help, but there was no one to save them-- to the LORD, but he did not answer. |
42 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind; I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets. | 42 I beat them as fine as dust borne on the wind; I poured them out like mud in the streets. |
43 Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and Thou hast made me the head of the heathen; a people whom I have not known shall serve me. | 43 You have delivered me from the attacks of the people; you have made me the head of nations; people I did not know are subject to me. |
44 As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me; the strangers shall submit themselves unto me. | 44 As soon as they hear me, they obey me; foreigners cringe before me. |
45 The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places. | 45 They all lose heart; they come trembling from their strongholds. |
46 The LORD liveth, and blessed be my Rock! And let the God of my salvation be exalted! | 46 The LORD lives! Praise be to my Rock! Exalted be God my Savior! |
47 It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me; | 47 He is the God who avenges me, who subdues nations under me, |
48 He delivereth me from mine enemies. Yea, Thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me; Thou hast delivered me from violent men. | 48 who saves me from my enemies. You exalted me above my foes; from violent men you rescued me. |
49 Therefore will I give thanks unto Thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto Thy name. | 49 Therefore I will praise you among the nations, O LORD; I will sing praises to your name. |
50 Great deliverance giveth He to His king and showeth mercy to His anointed, to David and to his seed for evermore. | 50 He gives his king great victories; he shows unfailing kindness to his anointed, to David and his descendants forever. |

Playground Surface Options, Rubber Playground Surfacing Tiles
Playground surface options are available in rubber and soft pvc as well as foam for indoor playground surfacing. Depending on the product, these tiles are available in interlocking and straight edge options. Some can be installed without adhesives. Be sure to read further to determine what sort of sub-surface is required for our playground surfaces installation.
We offer several playground surfaces solutions consisting of
rubber surface tiles and interlocking rubber playground surface mats. We can help you
choose the right flooring option for your playground whether outdoors or in. Playground
surfaces are relatively easy to install. Most require a hard, level sub-surface such as
concrete or compacted crushed stone. Surface options consist of modular soft plastic or
rubber tiles.
Our rubber playground surface tiles measure 2' x 2' and are designed to provide consistent fall protection while providing water drainage. Playground surface solutions also work great on rooftops, decks, or any place you need durable protective surfacing. Our Staylock Perforated Tiles soft plastic playground surface tiles are popular with day cares centers as they are the only playground product we offer that can be installed directly over dirt, sand, or grass.
Installation types vary depending on the playground surfacing product you choose. Some rubber tiles interlock together and require adhesive at the interlock. With these, you can either opt to glue the product to the sub-surface or you can dry lay it. Other of our playground surface products connect together with pins or clips. These are optimal for situations where the playground is going to be moved somewhere in the future because they require no adhesive whatsoever.
Unlike other playground surface options such as rubber crumbs, wood chips, or sand, rubber tiles don't require raking or leveling to ensure that they maintain consistent fall height protection. As a general rule, playground surfaces tend to wear in some areas more than others (such as beneath swings or at the base of slides). With a clip or pin-together tile, replacing the worn tiles is easy. This isn't something you can do with a poured-in-place playground surface.
To determine the playground surface tile thickness that is necessary for your application, first determine the "Fall Height" (aka: drop height) for your play area. To do this, measure the height from the ground to the highest platform children stand on. This distance is your fall height. Once you have this information, you can select which rubber surfacing playground tile you need.
Our 2.5" thickness is our most popular product for both indoor and outdoor settings. When installed over concrete or asphalt, it provides a fall height rating of 6 ft. A thickness of 3.5" is needed for an 8 ft. fall-height and the 3.75" thickness is required for a 10 ft. fall-height. Our playground surface tiles come in an array of colors and shades. Available colors have been selected because they withstand the effects of sunshine the best and are less apt to fade.
The preferred sub-surface for your playground surface is concrete or asphalt but it is ok to install these playground tiles directly on top of compacted, crushed rock. You will need a stable, solid surface with enough of a grade to allow heavy rainfall to drain from the surface area. You do not want water to puddle beneath the tiles for extended periods of time as dips will begin to form in your surface area and the overall appearance will not be as attractive.
Because our playground systems provide a level and solid surface, they also provide wheelchair accessibility. One product in particular (Kid's Kushion) features an ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) Compliant Ramp (24"x 27"). These ramps have a 1:12 grade that exceeds the ADA minimum 1:16 grade slope. Transition pieces (ramps) are available in various thicknesses along with corner pieces. Please contact us with questions regarding your specific requirements.

News > Botanic Garden Provides Windfall for Local Artisans
Botanic Garden Provides Windfall for Local ArtisansPHILIPPINES
15 August 2007
In the Philippines, local craft workers are benefitting from a new source of materials for their carved key chains
and toys. Makiling Botanic Garden has set up a partnership with them allowing the workers to harvest wind blown wood and twigs from the garden. The wood is fashioned into guitars and other novelty keyrings then sold to visitors to the garden. Roberto Cereno, from Makiling said 'It is an ideal partnership, the garden provides raw materials and the artisans make souvenirs for our visitors. Each item is carved or stamped with our name – so they also act as reminders or additional marketing for the garden. Plus this is a practical way we can support some of the poorer local communities'. Roberto said the programme started in 2001 "I facilitated the development of an organisation and discussed concepts and assistance in the design of souvenir items". Robbie also roped in the Los Banos town mayor to help in providing start up capital (loan at 0% interest) to enable the artisans to buy the tools, varnishes, brushes, and so on used in making the handicrafts. The group has since grown to 50 members, and demonstrates the benefits of creating partnerships between botanic gardens and their communities. Botanic Gardens Using Plant Diversity to Alleviate Financial PovertyBotanic gardens can play an important role in using plants to alleviate financial poverty. This is one of four important ways in which botanic gardens can link biodiversity with improvements to human well-being.

The movie 2012 is out. I hear the special effects are a blast. There are some pretty spectacular effects going on right now near between Java and Sumatra, where Krakatoa is still rising from the sea.
Krakatoa erupted in 1883, generating a monstrous tsunami over 100 feet high, and killing tens of thousands of people. Small people. When you were even smaller than you are now, your mom might have warned, "Remember, cars are bigger than you are." Well, tsunamis are bigger than you are. Even if you have gotten big enough to drive a car. If you had been there you would have died, too. Tsunamis are big; you are small.
Krakatoa is big now. The last time it exploded, it blew off enough matter to take it from a height of over 2,200 feet above sea level to 820 feet below sea level. The name for the new volcano that began to rise out of the sea at that location in 1927 is Anak Krakatoa — that means "child of Krakatoa." It still has a thousand feet to go to be as big as the 1883 Krakatoa, but it's growing. You can see some amazing pictures of it here.
Still, even though Anak Krakatoa has a lot of growing to do to catch up to Krakatoa, it is bigger than you are. If it just goes off like a normal volcano, that's one thing, but if a fissure opens to allow the ocean to flow into the magma, then, even at the size it is now, it will go boom and lots of small people will die. That won't be the end of the world, even if it happens in 2012. It wasn't the end of the world the last time it blew up. But it did affect the temperature of the earth for the following 5 years. It made it colder. So if Krakatoa blows again, we can expect that it will get colder for a few years, but since things have been getting a bit warmer over the past 30 years, we should be okay.
That's right; the little bit of global warming that has gone on recently might just be the thing that saves us from devastating killer winters if Krakatoa goes boom. I know that it's really not politically correct to find any upside to global warming, but it just occurred to me that it could work out that way. Or not. I'm too small to tell for sure.
Even our computers are too small to tell for sure. As this recent headline bears out: "Climatologists Baffled by Global Warming Time-Out ." The article summary notes that "[g]lobal warming appears to have stalled. Climatologists are puzzled as to why average global temperatures have stopped rising over the last 10 years. Some attribute the trend to a lack of sunspots, while others explain it through ocean currents."
This I get. Oceans are big. The sun is way bigger. That the big oceans and the bigger sun have an effect on the climate seems, well, obvious to this small person. Ditto that it is all very complicated when you throw in currents and sun spots. No big surprise that making predictions about the whole thing would be difficult, that really a lot of it just comes down to guessing.
It takes a big man to admit that what we have in the arena of long term climate predictions is a lot of fancy guesswork, especially if that man is a scientist working on climate. As the article went on to explain:
[N]ot much is happening with global warming at the moment. The Earth's average temperatures have stopped climbing since the beginning of the millennium, and it even looks as though global warming could come to a standstill this year.
The planet's temperature curve rose sharply for almost 30 years, as global temperatures increased by an average of 0.7 degrees Celsius (1.25 degrees Fahrenheit) from the 1970s to the late 1990s. "At present, however, the warming is taking a break," confirms meteorologist Mojib Latif of the Leibniz Institute of Marine Sciences in the northern German city of Kiel. Latif, one of Germany's best-known climatologists, says that the temperature curve has reached a plateau. "There can be no argument about that," he says. "We have to face that fact." …
"It cannot be denied that this is one of the hottest issues in the scientific community," says Jochem Marotzke, director of the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Hamburg. "We don't really know why this stagnation is taking place at this point."
I like scientists who are willing to admit they don't know why and face facts. Apparently not all scientists are that big though. Congress may soon be probing leaked documents fromthe Climatic Research Unit of the University of East Anglia in England. The CRU's work and mathematical models were major parts of the UN climate change report of 2007 that influenced the Environmental Protection Agency's conclusions on carbon dioxide emissions and regulation guidelines. The leaked information shows that some of the most prominent climate change scientists, among various misdemeanors, plotted how to keep dissenting researchers from getting published, deleted correspondence covered under freedom of information laws, and fudged data inconsistent with their predetermined conclusions. They didn't intend for the correspondence to go public and now a big scandal has blown up on them. They probably would have preferred Krakatoa.

Strategic Plans
Strategic Plan 2010 - 2015 Public Education for All Compiled over the course of one year, Public Education for All: Howard County Library System's Strategic Plan 2010-2015 continues the best of our previous strategic plan, Strong Foundations, Enduring Success, while adding clarity to our distinctive sense of purpose. Howard County Library System's Strategic Plan 2010-2015 Howard County Library System's Strategic Plan 2005-2010 Master Plan 2005 - 2030
Howard County Library System Facilities Assessment and Master Plan: 2005 - 2030 Howard County Library System continues to experience significant growth in the community's use of all library services. It outperforms peer libraries in almost all areas of standard accepted performance measures. To plan for the future delivery of library service in this growing jurisdiction, Howard County, working with the Library, issued a request for consultant services to create a 25 year Library Facilities Assessment and Master Plan for Howard County. The goal of both the County and the Library was to be able to provide for library facilities that would not only be responsive to changing service needs, but also anticipate the service needs and expectations of county residents. The County selected Providence Associates Inc. for the project and charged the firm with:
Assessing current library services and identify future services
Studying the physical condition of existing library facilities and determine the adequacy of those facilities to serve the current county population and the projected population through the year 2030 Devising standards Making recommendations for all aspects of a library capital program Developing a program of requirements for a proposed Ellicott City Branch Library. Providence began its work with the Library's Administration, Project Team and Leadership Team in March 2004. |

Why Choose MUSC and the Institute of Psychiatry
The Institute of Psychiatry provides the most thorough, state-of-the-art care available for a full range of psychiatric problems. Patients benefit from attention by nationally recognized psychiatrists, psychiatric nurses, social workers, psychologists, and researchers working together to provide care and emphasizing confidentiality and mutual respect. Hallmarks of the IOP's treatment approach are: NAMI Hospital of the Year The National Alliance on Mental Health SC (NAMI) named the Institute of Psychiatry the 2012 Hospital of the Year. The IOP was selected based on advancements in brain stimulation treatment, recognition as a comprehensive depression center by the National Network of Depression Centers and its active role in public health and advocacy for persons with mental illness. The hospital was also recognized in 2005, 2006 and 2008. Nationally Ranked Comprehensive Depression Center Sewventh in National Institutes of Health Funding The Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the Medical University of South Carolina currently ranks ninth in National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding among Departments of Psychiatry, and is home to a number of nationally-recognized clinicians, researchers, and programs. The IOP Patient Family Partnership Council To implement the concept of family and patient centered care, MUSC established an IOP Patient Family Partnership Council. The PFPC consists of four family members and four consumers, each having first-hand experience with mental illness and/or addiction, who serve on IOP Patient Satisfaction Team, Admission Criteria Task Force and participate in IOP New Employee Orientation. The group facilitated Crisis Intervention Training for MUSC Safety & Security staff and a weekly spiritual support group for IOP inpatients. They were featured in the MUSC Catalyst and the Post & Courier, helping to destigmatize mental illness. The Engagement Model The Engagement Model is an evidenced-based approach to treating patients. It involves creating an environment that is conducive to recovery, the use of healing language when communicating with patients, engaging patients and families in determining the treatment plan, and delivering "trauma-informed care." Trauma-Informed Care It is not rare for people to be exposed to traumatic events throughout their lives. The severity or frequency, however, can have a debilitating effect. The treatment team is sensitive to patients who have suffered traumatic events and works diligently to avoid anything that aggravates memories of interpersonal violence or victimization. Trauma-Informed Care is based on five principles:
Center for Drug and Alcohol Programs The Center for Drug and Alcohol Programs, known as CDAP, is one of the nation's premier academic centers for the study and treatment of alcohol and substance abuse. U.S. News and World Report recognized CDAP as being the eleventh best drug and alcohol abuse academic program in the United States. CDAP's Charleston Alcohol Research Center is one of only 14 National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded Alcohol Research Centers in the United States. |

Gisele Bundchen
4 of 12
Here's Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady leaving an OBGYN's office in Manhattan this morning sparking rumors the supermodel is pregnant. And judging by the palpable "Sonofabitch..." silence between these two, I'd say the chances are good. But, hey, at least there'll be a happy ending to this story. Name...

Oof: Talking Brewers with Al's Ramblings
July 2nd, 2012Sometimes we just like to talk about baseball. No jokes, no fashion judgement, just plain old baseball talk. For that we call upon Al Bethke of Al's Ramblings. He talks a lot about politics (and Meghan McCain's looks) on his blog, but when he talks baseball there are few who can match his intelligence and rationality.
VINCE: The talk of the fanbase right now has moved past the point of contention in 2012 and moved firmly into "let's trade all of our assets and rebuild for the future." You know, because contending in 2013 isn't possible apparently. (Not to be too simplistic, but if Axford/K-Rod have 4 losses instead of 9 they are over .500. Just saying.) Now I'm all about maximizing value on potential free agents in the trade market, but I have my concerns.
- 85 wins is still not out of the question and I think Wild Card #2 might have 85 wins. Of course this could all change over the next week, but I still think it is possible. Just not all that probable. There have just been too many games that could have easily gone the opposite way for me to give up now.
- What message would trading Greinke and Hart or Greinke and Marcum send to potential season ticket renewals for 2013? I could honestly care less how rich Mark A does or does not get (one of the few bright spots of the Brewers play this season is the amount of cheap tickets available on Stubhub), but I have become accustomed to the Brewers having a healthy budget and I'd love to see that continue. A Yo--Fiers-Estrada-Wolf-? rotation wouldn't exactly send fans racing to the ticket window.
- And this is the big one: I think this team is clearly capable of contending in 2013, but that will be really hard to do while replacing two starting pitchers. Trading Greinke and Marcum not only raises the white flag for 2012, but possibly for 2013 as well. One can be replaced (a Fiers or Peralta for Marcum swap seems almost too easy), but both is a different story.
I think we are both contrarian when it comes to matters of the 25 man roster, but how do you see the trade market panning out? Specifically Zack Greinke. His issues have been well documented (by you), but despite those issues there is no replacement that will be found on the free agent market or in the farm system that can even come close to what he has produced. (When he is "on" at least.) Should they look to spend some money to keep him? I hate spending big money on pitchers, but this is about as similar to when CC left as you're going to get. Some pitchers are worth that risk. Well, as long as that risk isn't for too many years.
AL: I disagree that 85 wins gets it done, as four teams are on pace to win 85-87 victories, and at least a couple of them will probably add players. I used to say 90 wins should be the goal, and with that extra team in, I'd say the magic number is now 87-88. The Crew is not likely to win that many, unless they have a very good month, as they did last year. Their pitching has been better lately, and is capable of a streak, but thus far, is still mediocre. They have not been as fortunate as they were last year (they won six more games than their run differential says they "should" have). The offense, even with a handful of injuries, is above average, but not good enough to make up for the other weaknesses, mostly brought on by injury.
Here's something to chew on...much was made of the fact the Crew only used six SP's last season, and it was important to their success. Here's some more numbers...the main position players (the starting eight, plus Kottaras and Gomez) got 84.1% of the total non-pitcher AB's last year. This year, that number is 71.8%. Despite this, the team is 7th in runs scored this year, and were 5th last season. That's an outstanding job by Doug and the braintrust of plugging in pieces to keep the team from being an afterthought. Ransom, Maldonado, and Aoki have all been key additions, and none have cost much. Think how much better the bench would be with them on it, instead of starting most days.
Another thing to keep in mind, while the bullpen has not been a strength this season, how much better would it be with Estrada and Fiers in it? Last season, Narveson and Marcum were healthy, and Marco and Mike would likely be working out of the bullpen, which, as if by magic, would lower/eliminate the frames pitched by the least effective.
Onto other thoughts...I don't see Hart going anywhere, as he's the best 1B option for '13, and also allows the Crew to do a couple other things...look at Gamel as a reserve 1B/3B/LF/RF "if" he returns in time for April '13, and to look for a bat at either 1B or RF, rather than one or the other. I like Aoki, but as a RF, his subpar arm only evens out his range. While Schafer and Gindl are possibilities, they do not have a 1B prospect close to being ready.
Greinke is a very good SP, even with his lack of "toughness." However, the loss of Narveson and Marcum has magnified Zack's value. If you pencil in his replacement for a 5 ERA, and pencil in Greinke for no fall off at all and equaling his MIL production, that'd be giving him a 3.45 ERA next year, that's the difference of about 34 runs, which is 3-4 wins. Is that worth giving him five years and $100M? And if you're answer is yes, would you give that deal to another 29 year-old FA SP with a 3.77 ERA the past three seasons? I'd match Weaver's 5y/$85M deal, and give him an opt-out after 3 seasons.
VINCE: I've said before that the injuries that the Brewers have faced have been mostly to the role players and that they could still be fine without them, which is something I believe, but it's hard not to admit just how much better they could be without them. Without all the injuries and off years from a few key players I really believe this team could have been better than last year's club. Just look at what the way that this team has kept on going despite all of it. To me this season is more of a testament to Doug Melvin's value than winning the pennant last year. I think we should elect him to the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame for his efforts. (Never mind. They already did.) The offense's numbers you mentioned are a great example of that, but they fail to leave out the most astonishing part of it all and that's the fact that they are doing it all with sub-replacement level numbers from Rickie Weeks. The fact that this team is 7th in runs scored with Weeks posting a .610 OPS is nearly beyond comprehension for me. You really have to wonder how good the offense could have been if the Rickie Weeks we've grown accustomed to showed up this season. Would it have been enough to pick up a few games? Maybe. (Which is not to say that he still won't, just that by the time he possibly does it will probably be too late.)
I really love your ideal offer to Zack Greinke. 5/$100 is a big no for me, but 5/$85 with an opt-out is at least a conversation for both sides. Unfortunately it makes too much sense for both to ever happen. It's always about the most years and there are few agents who would risk their client on a five year deal when they know they can get a seven in the open market. Zack seems like a pretty self aware guy and I would hope he realizes that Milwaukee is the best situation for him, but I can see the other side of the coin too. Getting paid is getting paid.
Moving on, what do you think will happen if/when the Brewers do decide to sell? You've already ruled out Hart (which I agree with, btw), but what about the rest? K-Rod seems almost surely to be dealt and hopefully we can get back more than we gave up for him. Nyjer probably won't bring much, but I could easily see him moved. Would the Brewers dare to trade both Greinke and Marcum? Can they get a CC-esque package for Greinke? More importantly, can they get anyone who can help the club in 2013 if they do?
AL: Marcum and KRod would be the big ticket items, and may be more likely to be dealt (if healthy) than Greinke, as Zack would bring back draft pick compensation, and the Crew has shown no interest in extending either. Marcum has a better ERA the last two and three seasons, and has a 3.50ish ERA since 2008. He also does not bring with him baggage of being weird or happily talking of giving a less than earnest effort while being paid a bijillion dollars in KC. He might bring 90% of what Greinke does, if he can prove he is healthy. KRod will bring more than a normal set-up man, due to his name and closer experience. Morgan has value, but it's limited due to his odd behavior, as some teams will not touch him (similar to Greinke, actually). That said, the Crew has Aoki and Schafer, and have less use for him as any team in the game. I also would not rule out lesser trades involving Ransom, Kottaras, Loe, and Parra...teams could ask, and if they get into full sell mode, they will look at '13 and not worry abut who is not in the plans.
Could they get a half-dozen prospects for them? Sure. Could a couple of them be ready as early as '13? Possibly. Mark A will likely pick up salary if it means getting top prospects back, as he's already budgeted for this year's payroll. Doug will look for young arms, a young SS, and some doubles/HR pop. They just mentioned on Fox that TEX is not messing around, and had a scout watching Greinke in Cincy. They have a great young SS in Andrus, so if they have one who is blocked...it might be a match.
VINCE: Oh, you mean like Jurickson Profar? Possibly the #1 SS prospect in all of baseball? We can dream, Al. We can dream.

Perfect for a puppy
This bowl set is very cute and functional. No more water spills.

Too big but cute.
I bought medium size one for my dog and one for my cat. They both weigh about 10 pound. It was way too big for them. It was cute. I didn't want to pay for shipping them back so I gave them away. I will purchase the small one for them.

I really like this light weight diner bowl set. It does a great job. I've been washing mine daily and it still looks new and it has not rusted.
July 8, 2014
Much better than what I had before!
I knew I had to get some new bowls when my pup decided the best way to get my attention to the plight of her empty food bowl was to carry it to me & scrape at it with her teeth. NOT pleasant! She also started to pick up her water dish, water still in it, for a bit of "fun". A constant soggy mess! So this keeps the bowls in place, it's super cute & no more "fun" for little Emaline Maesie! :)

dining in style
My little princess, likes her new Dolce diner. Mom is happy too. I like the size, color pink and having bowls that she'll eat from. Would not drink from plastic bowl. Had to use a glass friut dish. Now no more water to wipe up. If your dog is small my Maltese is tiny , this is a great choice.

FAFSA Students applying for financial assistance must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Applications can be completed online at fafsa.gov. All New York State residents who are receiving financial assistance from Adelphi are encouraged to apply to New York State for the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) grant. Students will be presented with a link to the TAP application when they are finished completing the FAFSA online. They must follow this link to apply for TAP. If a student transfers from another institution to Adelphi University during the same award year, federal regulations require that we request, through the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS), updated information about any fall disbursements so that your spring disbursements are accurate and do not exceed any federally mandated maximums. Since the information on the NSLDS system may not be accessed earlier than 30 days before the start of the spring semester, your assistance package may change after review of your record on the NSLDS system. Although award decisions will not be made until an applicant has been officially accepted by the Admissions Office, it is important to note that financial assistance applications can and should be completed prior to admission acceptance.
Application Deadlines Applications for all financial assistance programs should be made by all new and continuing students as soon after January 1 as possible each year. The various state and federal programs have deadline dates that extend throughout the academic year. Consult the Office of Student Financial Services for specific dates that may affect applications for these programs.
The entire FAFSA should be completed online at fafsa.gov as soon as possible after January 1, each year. Filing by February 15 for continuing students, March 1 for new freshman and new transfer students and November 1 for spring transfer students maximizes your access to the different financial aid programs.
To receive priority consideration for Adelphi need-based grants, Federal Perkins Loans, Federal Work-Study and Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG) the FAFSA must be completed and received by the priority deadlines listed above. Additionally, students who miss these deadlines or who fail to submit requested documentation on a timely basis, will be considered for grants only if funds remain available.
Students currently enrolled are required to reapply for financial assistance each academic year.
All eligibility criteria including acceptance into an eligible program of study must be met by the above-mentioned deadlines.
Please Note: Any student selected for verification who has not completed the federal verification process cannot receive federal financial aid or need-based university grants. First time students at Adelphi must complete entrance counseling and a Master Promissory Note before Federal Direct Stafford Loan funds can be applied to their account.
