"The report agrees with our message," Dolan said.
While not having a chance to review the Stanford study, Ken Mobley, general manager of Earth Source Trading Inc., Ephrata, Pa., said organic demand is not a fad and continues to show steady, consistent growth.
"It has gone to a large percentage of our company's business, it has been a part of regular shoppers' list of things to purchase," he said.
The organic movement has prodded the conventional industry and growers to reduce pesticide use, Mobley said.
The research results were published in the Sept. 4 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine.
The research group, led by Bravata, a senior affiliate with Stanford's Center for Health Policy, and Crystal Smith-Spangler, an instructor in the school's Division of General Medical Disciplines, reviewed 17 studies with people and 223 studies of nutrient and contaminant levels in food.
The study found that the risk for contamination with detectable pesticide residues was lower among organic than conventional produce, but differences in risk for exceeding maximum allowed limits were small.
The research also found that E. coli contamination risk did not differ between organic and conventional produce.
The research did say that consumption of organic food may reduce exposure to pesticide residues.
Bravata's patients asked repeatedly about the benefits of organic products and she didn't know how to advise them, according to the release.
After examining the studies, researchers found "little significant difference" in health benefits between organic and conventional foods, according to the release.
The review found no consistent differences in the vitamin content of organic products, and only phosphorus was markedly higher in organic versus conventionally grown produce.
Despite what Bravata called "tons of analyses," researchers were unable to single out particular fruits and vegetables for which organic was the consistently healthier choice, according to the release.
"Some believe that organic food is always healthier and more nutritious," Smith-Spangler said in the release. "We were a little surprised that we didn't find that."
Sales of organic foods have grown from $3.6 billion in 1997 to $24.4 billion in 2011, according to the release. First-quarter 2011 data from the United Fresh Produce Association's FreshFacts report show organic vegetables accounted for 3.3% and organic fruits tallied 1.5% of total produce sales.

My mom planted my jakfruit seeds in the same pot as the blueberry bushes. Will the Jackfruit grow or will it kill the blueberries? Does anyone know a cheap place to buy jackfruit seeds? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Do you happen to know the scientific name for jackfruit? I am not familiar with that name. |
- Posted by goldfishgray (My Page) on Thu, May 7, 09 at 16:24
no i don't, if you find out please tell me that is an interesting fact. if i find out i will tell you. will my jackfruit die? :( |
Without knowing what it is, I really have no way of knowing if it will die or not. Where are you located and are you growing these indoors in a pot or outdoors? Where did you get the jackfruit seeds? According to Wikipedia: The jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) is a species of tree of the mulberry family (Moraceae) native to parts of South and Southeast Asia. It is well suited to tropical lowlands. Its fruit is the largest tree borne fruit in the world[1], seldom less than about 25 cm (10 in) in diameter. Even a relatively thin tree, around 10 cm (4 in) diameter, can bear large fruit. The fruits can reach 36 kg (80 lbs) in weight and up to 90 cm (36 in) long and 50 cm (20 in) in diameter. The jackfruit is something of an acquired taste, but it is very popular in many parts of the world. The sweet yellow sheaths around the seeds are about 3–5 mm thick and have a taste similar to that of pineapple, but milder and less juicy. Does that sound right? If so, it is not native to North America. |
- Posted by goldfishgray (My Page) on Thu, May 7, 09 at 19:59
I got it from a ripe jackfruit. I am in northern Georgia. It is outside in a pot. Yes it sounds right. Do you have any jackfruit trees? I don't realy know if they are in that pot. She won't admit where she put them. They might be inside w/the mini decoration tree (it is alive). Do you know some where to order jackfruit seeds? I like the scientific name. :) |
I am in north Georgia too. I don't know where you can get jackfruit seeds. I am really only interested in plants native to this area. Good luck with it. Be sure and check the hardiness of it - it may not be hardy to zone 7 low temperatures; if it is not, don't leave it outside in the winter. |
- Posted by goldfishgray (My Page) on Fri, May 8, 09 at 16:43
what kind of plants do you grow? |
Mostly trees, shrubs, ferns, some perennials like coreopsis, penstemon, cardinal flower, butterfly weed, sunflowers, mountain mint. In the spring I have trilliums, bloodroot, coral bells, foamflower, wild ginger, lots of spring ephemerals. |
- Posted by goldfishgray (My Page) on Sat, May 9, 09 at 13:14
Where did you get the mountain mint from? |
I have rescued some but I also bought some. It has spread a lot! |
- Posted by goldfishgray (My Page) on Sat, May 9, 09 at 17:46
where did you buy, and rescue them from? |
I can't remember where, but I participate in authorized plant rescues via the Georgia Native Plant Society. |

Hi Goldfishgary, U can get jack fruit seeds from many nurseries in florida thru online. But is u go to any asian stores in summer u will be able to get fresh fruit (fresh cut fruit into 1 lb or 2lb blocks. Eat the fruit and use the seeds for plants. The seeds when fresh germinate very easily, if soaked in water for a day and then planted in a pot with seed starting mixture. In around 10 days u will be able to see the shoots. I did the same 3 weeks back and now i have 2 to 3 inch seedlings. These plants usually take 3 years to fruit. Padma |

Ignorance is Bliss for a Creative Mind
- By Ken Reynolds
- August 8th, 2011
- 21 Comments
The saying "Ignorance is bliss" originates in Thomas Gray's poem "Ode on a Distant Prospect of Eton College" (1742). The quote goes: "Where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise." Face it: you were better off not knowing that, weren't you?
Generally speaking, ignorance is a detestable state of mind. The more knowledge you have, the better equipped you are to deal with life. But ignorance itself doesn't equal stupidity. For instance, I view myself as someone who is smart enough to realize his huge capacity for stupidity. I know there are massive gaps in my cultural and general knowledge. I would define my intellectual state as, at times, unaware. But who am I kidding? In some areas of life, I'm just plain ignorant, even if not by choice.

Seattle hip-hop artist Freddy E dies of apparently self-inflicted shot
Hip-hop artist and Internet personality Freddy E died Saturday in Renton of an apparently self-inflicted gunshot, according to the King County Medical Examiner's Office.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Hip-hop artist and Internet personality Frederick E. Buhl, who went by the name Freddy E, died Saturday in Renton of an apparently self-inflicted gunshot, according to the King County Medical Examiner's Office.
On a Facebook post, Buhl's father, Frederick Douglass Buhl, said the death of his 22-year-old son left his family "saddened beyond words."
The younger Buhl was best known for his YouTube program "Jerk TV." The show featured satirical and profane segments and skits, often laced with cutting social commentary and cautionary messages.
On Sunday, the program's website listed more than 65,000 subscribers and nearly 7 million video views over multiple seasons.
"Not only our family, but the world has lost a talented, sensitive, brilliant young man who lit up our existence with his," Buhl's father said in his post.
Nick Fletcher, of the Medical Examiner's Office, said suicide is the presumed cause of death but that an autopsy would be performed Monday.
The final messages on Buhl's Twitter account, sent Saturday evening, expressed despair and heartbreak. "If there's a God then He's calling me back home," read one tweet. Buhl also tweeted messages telling his parents he loved them. The final message was, "I'm sorry."
Members of Buhl's family gathered Sunday at their church, First AME Church in Seattle. Buhl's father said in his post that a memorial service will be held at a later date.
Buhl's Facebook page says he graduated from Nathan Hale High School and the Art Institute of Seattle, where he studied digital filmmaking and video production.

This is a great example of how TU is taking on conservation challenges at a landscape-level to ensure we save all the piece of a river ecosystem and protect the unmatched fishing the river offers to thousands every single year.

My juvenile Datura plants (Datura metel)are approximately 8 inches tall, having developed nicely from seeds. I am using grow lights for 8-10 hours daily. With the weather here in Michigan approaching the 70s, I've taken them out for some real sun, however the leaves quickly begin to droop. It's not for lack of moisture as I keep them well watered and fertilized. Any suggestions? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Not only are those leaves having to adjust to different sunlight, air currents and humidity but also to temperature differences. Keep them out only for an hour at a time and in shade to begin with. This allows them to harden to the air currents ( wind) and the humidity changes first, then you can gradually introduce them to direct sun for lengthening times each day after that. It is not just the sun you have to be careful of when introducing in home grown plants to the great outdoors. |
- Posted by token28001 zone7b NC (My Page) on Thu, Apr 1, 10 at 21:53
Last year, my indoor started datura did the same thing. I guess it got too much sun too soon. So I pulled all the leaves off. It regrew new ones that didn't droop. It grew into a huge plant by the end of summer. |

Many people see being a successful and determined businessperson as contrary to being a person of faith. This is one of the primary reasons that some are skeptical of the entrepreneurial initiatives of megachurches, the subject of our cover story for this issue. It's difficult for some to reconcile the dual identities of the "CEO pastor." These people are often just as surprised to meet executives who are serious about their religious beliefs and who see no contradiction between the profit motive and their spiritual faith.
However, for many of the nation's greatest entrepreneurs and business leaders, the active expression of their faith is an integral part of their business success. For example, the Birmingham, Alabama, business empire of the legendary Arthur G. Gaston Sr. was rooted in his service to, and financial support of, the church. A number of Gaston's enterprises, including the Booker T. Washington Insurance Co. and the A.G. Gaston Motel, were initially aimed at serving the unmet needs of the black church community. Investment banker Carla Harris, a managing director at Morgan Stanley and one of BLACK ENTERPRISE's "50 Most Powerful Women in Business," attributes her success to her faith. Harris also happens to be an accomplished vocalist, with two gospel CDs to her credit. And in his book, Doing Business by the Good Book: 52 Lessons on Success Straight from the Bible, World Wide Technology CEO David Steward details how he follows biblical principles to build and run his company, ranked No. 1 on the BE INDUSTRIAL/SERVICE 100 list with sales of $1.4 billion.
Many of the problems we face as African Americans are partially rooted in the decline of spirituality and moral responsibility in our communities. Our faith historically has carried us through many trials and tribulations. This is why my wife, Barbara, and I felt it important that our son Earl "Butch" Graves' appointment to CEO of Earl G. Graves Ltd. earlier this year be marked by a special observance during a Sunday morning service at Rev. W. Franklyn Richardson's Grace Baptist Church in Mount Vernon, New York. We cannot compete in business or any other aspect of society if we are not spiritually fit.
I believe that when truly successful businesspeople (and entrepreneurs, in particular) routinely see solutions when everyone else sees only problems and remain focused on the goal and not the obstacles, they are tapping into and demonstrating their faith. Not all of us are overt about our spiritual beliefs. And while some of us were spiritually committed early in our business lives, others have come to rely on our faith over time, by virtue of our life experiences-moments of shining victory as well as of dark despair.
Our spiritual beliefs will continue to be an indispensible resource as we face today's challenges and work to establish a legacy for the future. And while the focus of every businessperson is to build wealth and generate profits, the most successful are ever mindful of the larger mission of serving the needs and bringing value

At this week's Nylon Magazine party, Jared Leto didn't arrive by limo, swanky SUV, or even taxi cab. Nope, instead he rode up to the party on his stylin' white bicycle and, according to reports, spent most of the time checking up on his wheels. I don't know about you, but I'm impressed that he's decided to go green rather than ride in a gas guzzler. [NY Post]

*Taken from the Weekly Standard.
The Obama campaign sent out an email today asking supporters to urge Congress to at least vote on the president's jobs bill almost immediately after Democratic majority leader Harry Reid blocked a voteon the bill in the Senate.
On the Senate floor today, Republican leader Mitch McConnell asked for unanimous consent to proceed on voting on the bill. Reid, who has struggled to find enough votes for the bill in the Democratic caucus, objected to the motion and killed the opportunity for a vote.
About ten minutes later, Jim Messina, Obama's 2012 campaign manager, emailed this message to supporters:

Jan O'Sullivan TD Minister for Education and Skills Ireland South : Limerick City
061 firstname.lastname@example.com
As T.D. for Limerick City, I am proud to represent the constituency in Dáil Éireann giving a voice to the people of Limerick
I was honoured to have been appointed Minister for Education in July of this year having served as Minister of State with responsibility for housing
There are huge challenges ahead as we work to bring our country back from the disastrous state it was in when people voted for real change and gave us a mandate to govern in coalition in the February 2011 General Election. The road we have to travel will not be easy but I know that we can restore our reputation, our economy and our shared values as citizens.
My former role as Minister for Housing and Planning was a varied and important one. I wanted to see a transformation in the state's attitude to housing so that all citizens, regardless of means, can aspire to a life in a secure home. Housing for me is not just about bricks, mortar and title deeds – it is about providing a sustainable environment, with housing options that suit changing individual needs, where families can thrive and community spirit is fostered.
As Minister for Housing I worked closely with the various voluntary bodies which are committed to ending homelessness so that everyone can access secure, safe and sustaining accommodation.
Labour's vision for Ireland in Government is a vision of community, with solidarity among our people. It's a vision of freedom and greater equality, a vision of citizenship that acknowledges rights and teaches responsibilities, a vision of security, with safe streets, safe homes and safe communities, a vision of public service in a country that values the contribution of all citizens to the common good.
Expenses 2012 published by Minister Jan O'Sullivan TD
The Parliamentary Standards Allowance came into effect on 1 st March 2010 under the Oireachtas (allowances and facilities) Regulations, 2010 (SI84/2010)
The PSA is composed of two payments:
- Travel and accommodation allowance – As a Minister of State I am ineligible for this allowance.
- The Public Representation Allowance, for which I choose the fully vouched option, can be viewed here

As the warming trend continues into the summer months, most of us are looking for easy and affordable ways to beat the heat. Hampton Bay has the answer with two stylish "Click-In" assembly ceiling fans for $99 each:
- Hampton Bay Fast Attach 52 In. Bronze Ceiling Fan – This fan is ideal for large rooms and offers 3 reversible speeds. The dark walnut blades, bronze oil-rubbed finish and metal ring-accented glass bowl light fixture offer a transitional look that complements a variety of decor styles. In addition, this fan is designed to "Click-In" for quick assembly and easy removal for cleaning.
- Hampton Bay Fast Attach 52 In. Brushed Nickel Ceiling Fan – This fan also offers 3 reversible speeds and is intended for large rooms. The brushed nickel, 3-light (50-watt halogen light bulbs included) halogen spot light comes with adjustable, optimal light control shades and adds contemporary style to any home. Walnut and maple wood blades blend perfectly with any color scheme and are designed to "Click-In," so you don't have to install each blade individually.
Perhaps the best feature of these ceiling fans is their quick assembly time. Both fans can be installed and removed in less than 30 minutes. Add this to the fact that they cost about half as much as comparable ceiling fans, and Hampton Bay's Fast Attach fans are the hot ticket to staying cool this summer!

Whenever I walk thru our prairie garden I feel a comfort with nature. A feeling that nature's natural beauty has a soothing effect, yet provides a food source for the many birds and animals that visit regularly.
This past week I created some natural gardens with winding paths thru them for owners to enjoy on their lakeside home. While on their boat to view the gardens I pondered the thought, "which is the front door?" When creating curb appeal is the dock another form of a curb to their home?
Our pond on the 17th had a crash unexpectedly when a large branch from a walnut tree was blown loose. Crack, crash and ka-boom – landing right in our pond between an arbor and bench! I cut up the branches and pulled them out of the pond when I arrived home. Janet next day cleaned up the mess left all about and in our pond. She is a conscientious caretaker of our pond, and our koi appreciate all her matronly efforts.
Yesterday I started the layout of a memorial garden being installed for reflection of two loved ones. Of course stripping sod for the future courtyard fountain and bench in midst of colorful perennials is tedious and not one of my favorite chores. Yet I just think to myself the beauty being created with each section cleared.
May you find beauty and serenity as rewards to your labor in your gardens.

APAC Tax Matters: 13th edition
At a glance
- Transfer Pricing Regulations introduce guidelines in applying the arm's length principle for cross-border and domestic transactions between associated enterprises
- Policies, guidelines and procedures prescribed in processing specific requests for information pursuant to the Exchange of Information provision in Philippine tax treaties
- Tax Treaty Relief Applications to be filed on time in respect of payments by domestic corporations to foreign corporations, otherwise the relevant payments will be subject to the regular income tax rates
Transfer Pricing Regulations
The Transfer Pricing Regulations were issued to implement the authority of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue (CIR) under Section 50 of the Tax Code to:
- Review controlled transactions among associated enterprises
- Allocate or distribute their income and deductions in order to determine the appropriate revenues and taxable income involved in controlled transactions
- Require the maintenance and safekeeping of documents proving that efforts were made to determine the arm's length price or standard in transactions among associated enterprises. These regulations apply to cross-border transactions and domestic transactions
The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) adopts the use of the arm's length principle as the most appropriate standard to determine the transfer pricing (TP) between related parties. The arm's length principle requires that the transaction with a related party be made under comparable conditions and circumstances as a transaction with an independent party.
In applying the arm's length principle, the following 3-step approach may be observed:
- Conduct a comparability analysis
- Identify the tested party and the appropriate TP method
- Determine the arm's length results
The BIR does not require TP documents to be submitted when tax returns are filed. However, documentation should be retained and submitted to the BIR whenever required. TP documents must be contemporaneous, i.e. the documentation should exist or be brought into existence at the time the associated enterprise develops or implements any arrangement that may raise TP issues or review these arrangements when preparing tax returns.
The provisions of the Tax Code and other applicable laws regarding the imposition of penalties and other appropriate sanctions shall be applied to any person who fails to comply with or violates the provisions and requirements of the TP regulations.
Exchange of Information Guidelines
Exchange of Information (EOI) covers any information that is necessary or foreseeably relevant to the administration or enforcement of the domestic laws of the contracting parties concerning taxes covered by the terms of EOI arrangements, as well as information for cases that involve tax evasion and other criminal offenses. The scope of EOI is not limited to taxpayer-specific information, but also includes information related to tax administration and compliance improvement.
Generally, the obligation to exchange information is mandatory. However, Revenue Memorandum Order No. 2-2013 ("Revenue Order 2-2013") prescribes the following instances when a request for information can be declined:
- Information that the requesting party would not be able to obtain under similar circumstances
- Information relating to years not covered by double taxation agreements or taxes not covered
- Information, the disclosure of which would be contrary to public policy
- Information relating to the administration or enforcement of a provision of the tax laws, which discriminates against a national of the requested party (i.e., the Philippines) as compared with a national of the applicant party under the same conditions
- Information subject to privilege protected from disclosure under domestic law
Revenue Order 2-2013 further notes that:
- EOI can only take place between competent authorities or their authorized representatives. Bypassing the competent authorities constitutes a breach of tax confidentiality.
- The period for processing requests for information is generally 90 days from the receipt of the request by the tax authority. This period may be extended where difficulties in obtaining and providing information are encountered.
- All taxpayer information obtained through EOI is confidential and may only be disclosed in accordance with Philippine law. This covers not only information received in response to a request, but also information contained in competent authority letters, including the letter requesting information.
Application of preferential tax treaty rates
Recent rulings by the Bureau of Internal Revenue affirmed the importance of filing a tax treaty relief application (TTRA) with the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) – International Tax Affairs Division (ITAD) before the first taxable event.
In the relevant rulings the late filing of the relevant TTRAs caused withholding of 30% to be applied in respect of dividends and royalty payments that would otherwise have enjoyed preferential withholding rates under available treaties. The rulings affirmed the first taxable event as being the date of remittance of the amounts to the foreign corporations.

Quoted from Canadj Says D'Adamo didn't take into account A1, A2, Rh+ or Rh-.
Quoted Text Dr Don first blood typequote''In discussions I read on the matter, this sort of terminology was used to describe the evolutionary or mutation process. It makes more sense when you see depictions of the A, B and O molecules, but, very simply, the A and B molecules are more complex than O. So, speculation was that, based on other mutations that have been observed in nature, it was more likely that the simpler type O developed from more complex type A than the other way around, with the a "defective" O developing into A and/or B.''
Quoted from Canadj That article went way over my head.(Is that link part of a book? It looks like he published another book this year.)
Quoted from Patty H Not that it matters at all to me, but I, too have read that blood type A came first. Is there something I can show to others who question this? I love to share the BTD/GTD but have not found anything I can pass along on this subject. The link Lola provided is great, but it deals more with when blood type AB came into being.THANKS! Let's continue to spread the word . . .
Quoted from DoS Negligible information anyways. Speculations on first blood types doesn't change one damn fact about how our bodies respond to food, not one fact with any study related to ABO and secretor status.By the way the oldest record of blood type we have is A, that does not prove it came first. Furthermore that Type A individual likely has nothing in common with any of the current phenotypes regardless of ABO status.
Quoted Text The link Lola provided is great, but it deals more with when blood type AB came into being.
Quoted Text ...the A and B molecules are more complex than O
Quoted Text ....it was more likely that the simpler type O developed from more complex type A than the other way around
Quoted from DoS Those people need to be ridiculed for attacking an assumption to explain real world accepted facts that are contemporary and not disputed (currently).
Quoted from Lola http://www.dadamo.com/science_critic.htmDr D has said enough.......the choice is yourson 'first blood'http://www.dadamo.com/forum/archivea/config.pl?read=75037
Quoted Text No Bee In Your BonnettPosted By: Peter D'AdamoDate: Monday, 4 December 2000, at 1:53 p.m. The mutations which produced the ABO alleles are ancient, but the A and B genes were in scarce supply prior to 25-50 thousand years ago. Their gradual increase in number was a result of the forces brought about by neolithic changes including the greater lethality of pandemics and communicable diseases which worked against type O. This was simplified somewhat in ER, but in fact is true. Should you wish, you can read someone like AE Mourant for further information. The shroud could theoretically be Christ's and AB as well. ER only makes the point that AB are not found in significant numbers of grave exhumations until the Langobard Era (ca 900AD). However that doesn't mean that they were not found in insignificant numbers prior to that. However, at least one Egyptian pharoah has been typed as AB, indicating that admixing of A and B genes was already occurring by 3,000 BCE. The influx of the conquering Hyskos (a semitic tribe) into Egypt and their mixing with indigenous Indo-European strains would have produced some AB -especially at the upper rungs of Egyptian society that resulted from intermarriage. By the way, I'm not certain that one can be 'very wrong.' All wrong is probably very wrong.

Quoted from Patty H I agree with you, DOS, but the problem is if people can poke holes in the diet theory, this is one of the places they attack first. I am just asking if there are resources to which can direct them that would help to support Dr. D's theory on this subject, as it is one of the first subject that he discusses in ER4YT.
Quoted from ruthiegirl It might help to point out that the "what each individual should eat NOW" is based on hard science, while the "which BT came first?" is mostly speculative.For curiosity's sake, Dr D delves into the evolution of blood types, but "meat" of his work is on individualized nutrition. Our different bodies are here now, and Dr D knows how to feed us. How we got here is fun to speculate on, but isn't the foundation of Dr D's work.
Quoted from Patty H Unfortunately the argument then can arise that A's should be the meat eaters, like their ancient ancestors and O's should be vegetarians, like their ancient ancestors, so in fact, the order of the blood types does matter, according to Dr. D's theory. Just playing devil's advocate here
Quoted from Patty H DOS, in my humble opinion, ridiculing anyone will not help advance the ideas of Dr. D or anyone else. We are all individuals and have the right to our beliefs. I think providing the scientific evidence is a better route towards helping people counter the criticism of the diet.
Quoted from DoS Yes, but my point, our ancestors are not the ones giving us support for current research, we are; and at best our great grandparents. How people respond to food today is more important than all of history. Genetic markers may say something about our history, but they say more about our response to food and exercise.

Federal financial aid funds are awarded with the understanding that students will make progress toward their chosen degree. Palmer College of Chiropractic, as directed by the U.S. Department of Education, has established guidelines to follow in order to meet this goal. At Palmer College these standards are also applied to state, internal and institutional aid programs.
Students are expected to maintain satisfactory academic progress for each term of attendance. It is the student's responsibility to achieve satisfactory academic progress (SAP), and students should seek assistance from the College's many academic support services in a consistent and timely manner. Students must be in an eligible degree or certificate program and maintain qualitative and quantitative Satisfactory Academic Progress to be eligible to receive financial aid. Satisfactory Academic Progress is determined at the end of each academic term.

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 Tyler!
Facts about Tyler
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Gray Or Blue (Mostly)
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Tyler's Info...
I am up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Tyler is a real sweetheart. He is definitely a cuddler, but is always down to play and run around with his brother Taylor. The two littermates must go together. He is healthy and vaccinated. Both are available for adoption or foster to adopt. Contact us to meet Tyler!
Other Pets at KittyKaretakers
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Tyler, a Brooklyn Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Brooklyn, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Brooklyn.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Brooklyn 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 Brooklyn 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 Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Brooklyn paves the way for another one to be saved.

CM Storm QuickFire XT Mechanical Gaming Keyboard
Fresh out of the box, the QuickFire XT is now on full display. There is a 104 key layout of switches and keycaps. Each of the keycaps is laser etched for longevity, but I would swear they are painted over the etching to make the legends as bright as possible.
While there is a claim to this 1.9" height being a slim design, in reality it is the same thickness as my Trigger. The bottom section is thinner, and the top covers more of the sides, but it is the same height still. You can also see the keycaps are textured and concave to give fingertips the best feel of each key.
On the left side of the XT it has the Standard English QWERTY layout. If this looks a bit plain to you for a gaming keyboard, CM Storm adds some keycaps that help break up all the black and also adds some Cooler Master naming to the top of the keyboard.
With use of the Function button on the lower part of the keyboard, you can gain access to the multimedia keys and the F9 Windows lock-out key. This will keep you from dropping out of a game accidentally.
The right side of the keyboard offers a full sized number pad. On the top row of the keypad is where you will find the repeat rate keys to allow you to spam key presses. Above that you will find the three locks for the keyboard with red LEDs to denote when they are active.
With the legs in the back now set out for this image, you can tell this is the way it is meant to be used. The angles of the keycaps are no longer leaning to the back. With the extra half inch added to the back, all of the caps take on a better ergonomic angle of use.

Piers Morgan spoke to Susan Boyle, and has updates on her health.
Just hours after Susan Boyles surprising loss on Britains Got Talent, she was under doctors care at a London mental health clinic.
Multiple British reports claim she had an emotional breakdown but judge Piers Morgan is clarifying the seriousness of her condition.Today, he explained what was going on.
I spoke to Susan yesterday. I dont think its a breakdown. This is somebody who is absolutely exhausted. Emotionally, physically, mentally....Susan will be fine. She's just very tired.
Morgan continued, Susan is completely and utterly exhausted. I think she's found this whole roller coaster ride of the last seven weeks overwhelming...and she's gone somewhere now that she can find the peace and the quiet to get some sleep, to eat properly and get over what has been an astonishing time in her life.
Boyle was the favorite to win this season so why did she go home in second place?
"I think it was more the case of Susan Boyle overkill. I think the whole world has been going crazy for the Boyle phenomenon for several weeks and I think it was a bit too much for some people in Britain....They just got a bit bored, a bit irritated by the whole mania surrounding Susan....It was more to do with overkill."
Although Boyle didnt take the top prize, dont expect her to go back to obscurity. I think we're going to be hearing a lot more from Susan. My prediction is she'll have a number one selling album around the world in the next four or five months.
Piers thinks that placing second might have been the best for Boyle and will help her in the long run. "Personally I would have loved Susan to win, but I have to say having seen the way she's been overwhelmed by the fame, it may be the best thing to happen to her for her to come in second and be removed from the immediate limelight that the winner gets exposed to and can just chill out and get better soon...and come and make an amazing album."
Boyles loss wasnt the only shocker on Britains Got Talent. During Hollie Steels final performance, the 10-year-old broke down on stage and through her tears, pleaded with the judges to start over to which they eventually agreed. "It was one of the most dramatic things I've ever seen...I think Simon Cowell made the most humane response and that may surprise some people and Simon showed he had a heart and I think that was the right thing."
Piers continued, "She's 10 years old and clearly the occasion got to her One of the reasons we wanted to give her another go was we knew how good she was...She just had an attack of nerves. "
Extras interview with Piers Morgan airs tonight.

Question for ya'all.
I've been looking at old house plans and I'm a little confused and curious. On a lot of the older Victorian plans (pre-1905), the upstairs rooms are "chambers" and "bedrooms". What was the difference between a chamber and a bedroom? Were they the same thing or had slightly different uses? I am confused by it! |
Follow-Up Postings:
It's just an old word for a bedroom. It was replaced by "bedroom" when washing stands and chamber pots were replaced with separate bathrooms. from Middle English chaumbre; from Old French chambre; from Late Latin camera, chamber; from Greek kamar. |
- Posted by moccasinlanding (My Page) on Mon, Aug 30, 10 at 16:31
Krycek, were the terms used together on the same house plans? Or were they always in separate houses? Based on what Macv said, that the "chamber" was used prior to indoor plumbing took away the wash stand and the chamber pot, 1. A CHAMBER still had a wash stand and chamber pot serving it? 2. The BEDROOM meant there was indoor plumbing and no need to look for a chamber pot under the bed or elsewhere? Very interesting question. |
The Victorians were very pretentious. There were lots of French words in their vocabulary and chambre is simply a french word for room, still in use btw. Chamber smacks of intimacy and privacy compared to bedroom....and people took to their chambers to get away from it all for a read or a nap. Most of my Victorian and Edwardian age homes had very large bedrooms, and we put a table and chairs in them to take our morning tea or coffee, a desk, book cases. They were for more than just sleeping. |

That sounds like a very reasonable and correct explanation, calliope! How nice it would have been to have a room to retreat to like that. It's just my partner and I so we do have a "chamber" type of room upstairs we can retreat to. It's very nice indeed. |

LGA press release
Responding to Ofsted plans announced today to start inspections of the school improvement service provided by councils in underperforming areas, Cllr David Simmonds, Chairman of the Local Government Association's Children and Young People Board, said:
"Local authorities want to be able to intervene more quickly in underperforming schools but we are prevented from doing so as a result of decades of reforms to give schools greater independence and reduce what was perceived as council interference.
"Councils now lack the direct powers that academy sponsors and the Government have to take quick and decisive action when schools are underperforming. This is not a good situation for mums and dads who ultimately expect councils to take responsibility for ensuring there are good schools available.
"It is unacceptable for any school to consistently underperform and Ofsted are right to recognise that local authorities can play a huge role in helping struggling schools become good ones. But, if councils are going to be given the job of helping struggling schools improve, we need to be given the tools to do it.
"We agree with Ofsted's call for more to be done but, rather than extra inspections of councils, we believe pupils would benefit far more from government untying the hands of local authorities so they can get on with quickly and decisively helping the worst performing schools without first having to negotiate swathes of red tape and bureaucracy."

OH MY!! I can not say enough about how good this corn is! I bought it to save for this winter and we are already half through it just "sampling"! I see many more cans of this in our future! Thanks for making my winter larder such a happy place to look forward to.

Superb Corn
I grew up on garden fresh vegetables. I couldn't believe the sweet smell of the corn upon opening the #10 can. The corn was exceptional cooked. My husband did not even realize it was freeze dried corn! I was very surprised and extremely pleased with the quality of this product.

The Environmental Thought and Practice interdisciplinary major requires four prerequisites, three core classes, and seven electives. Before enrolling in the major students must meet the College's natural sciences and social sciences area requirements.
ETP students must take all four prerequisites in order to complete the major. At the time of application, students must be enrolled in, or have already completed, at least two of the prerequisites.
The following core courses are required of all majors:
*EVSC 3200, 3600, and 3300 all require one semester of calculus; EVSC 2800 recommends one semester of chemistry; EVSC 3200 recommends one semester each of chemistry and biology; EVSC 3300 recommends one semester of physics with lab. Labs are required with the core courses but are not required for electives.
Each student must also choose seven (7) classes distributed across the three areas indicated below, with the restriction that at least two (2) classes must be taken in Area I (Values, Culture, and History) and at least one (1) class must be taken in each of Areas II and III (two classes are required in Area I because there are no such classes in the core curriculum).
We recommend checking SIS frequently for environmetally-themed courses, as courses often come and go. Students who wish to have classes not specified here counted against their ETP elective requirements must submit their request plus the full course syllabus to Professor Vivian Thomson. Please give this required information to Professor Thomson during her office hours or leave it in her Clark Hall mailbox. ETP elective courses must be upper-level or graduate three- or four-credit classes and they must have environmental concerns as the central focus. Requests to count courses that do not meet these basic requirements will not be considered.
If approved by one of the ETP Program Directors, students may count one (1) related 3000-, 4000-, or 5000-level class in History, Anthropology, Philosophy, English, Religious Studies, Landscape Architecture, or Technology, Culture, and Communication against the two-class requirement for this area.
Students may fulfill their one-class requirement for this track by taking any one (1) of the following specific classes (there are no prerequisites for these upper-level Planning classes):
If approved by one of the ETP Program Directors, students may take one (1) related 3000-, 4000-, or 5000-level course in Economics, Government and Foreign Affairs, Sociology, the Law School, Darden, or Urban and Environmental Planning to meet the overall seven-course elective requirement, but not to meet the basic one-class requirement for this area.
*The College allows students to count 18 credits of classes in other schools toward the 120-credit graduation requirement.
Any 3000- or 4000-level EVSC course. If approved by one of the ETP Program Directors, students may take one (1) related 3000-, 4000-, or 5000-level class in Biology, Chemistry, or Environmental Engineering (e.g., MAE 4140, CE 2200) to meet the overall seven-class elective requirement, but not to meet the basic one-class requirement for this area. (Upper level EVSC classes build on the classes listed above under "Core Classes." Upper-level Biology, Chemistry, and Environmental Engineering classes can have several prerequisites.) Labs are not required for Area III electives (but they are required for the core courses).
Pre-approved Non-EVSC or 2000-level courses include:
Majors with a minimum 3.6 GPA in the major (and 3.4 GPA overall) are eligible for a distinguished majors program (DMP) for their fourth year. DMPs take a year-long independent study with a faculty advisor, with the goal of producing a thesis that is evaluated by outside readers. To participate in the ETP distinguished majors program, set up an appointment with Professor Thomson during the spring semester of your third year.
Please note that the ETP program adheres strictly to the College of Arts and Science's policy regarding classes taken for CR (credit) or NC (no credit). Courses counting towards the ETP prerequisites, area requirements, and core courses may NOT be taken on a CR/NC basis.
The College does not permit students to take courses on a CR/NC basis in interdisciplinary programs, nor does it permit students to count courses taken on a CR/NC basis towards a major, minor, or College area requirements.
Many ETP majors pursue double majors and minors in a variety of other subjects. Please read the requirements about double majoring and minoring set forth by the College of Arts and Sciences:
"You may major in two subjects, in which case the application for a degree must be approved by both departments or interdepartmental programs."
And with respect to number of credits:
"Students must enroll in a either a major program offered by one of the departments or an interdepartmental program before the last day of classes in the fourth semester; the program must be approved by an official major advisor. In addition, the student must present to the College of Arts & Sciences, as part of their plan of study, a program that counts no more than two courses toward two majors. This double counting of courses requires the permission of both major departments or programs. A major may not be less than 24 credits nor more than 34 credits. The major program may also require up to 12 credits in related courses. (Courses counting for a minor may NOT count toward a major.)"
ETP policy allows for double counting courses so long as all of ETP's and the College's requirements are met. Since ETP is an interdisciplinary major, up to three courses may be double counted. In accordance with the College's policy on minoring, the ETP Program does not permit double counting between a major and a minor.
The ETP program does not have any official positions on overseas programs. In the past, several ETP students have done Semester at Sea, an interdisciplinary global comparative program sponsored by UVa. We also recommend that ETP students interested in studying abroad go to other universities' websites for ETP-like majors and see if there are recommended programs through those universities.
In the course approval process, students must go to the UVa departments for which they seek credit. For example, if you would like credit for a civil engineering class taken abroad, you must go to the Engineering Department to file for this credit. Unless it is an ETP course, we cannot approve it for credit.
Internships cannot be counted for academic credit against the ETP major.
