Is Your Home Making You Sick? Unfortunately, quantity and convenience have replaced quality and safety in many areas of our lives -- including our foods, toiletries, cleaners and even our homes. That alone leaves us vulnerable and exposed to toxic materials at work, school, and at home. News stories are teeming with reports of problematic additives in foods and chemicals in building supplies. Health problems are surfacing and while individual investigations are underway, it raises an important question: how healthy is my environment? A lot of us spend a great deal of time inside and have likely not considered the range of potential pollutants we encounter in these indoor environments, including: gases emitted from carpets, paints, HVAC systems with gas packs, dust mites, mold, mildew, bacteria, pet dander, smoke, viruses and poor ventilation – all of which can contribute to an array of health issues now been labeled as "sick building syndrome". Common symptoms include unexplained fatigue, headaches, and respiratory difficulties.
According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, sick building syndrome describes situations in which building occupants experience acute health effects that appear to be linked to time spent in a building, but no specific illness or cause can be diagnosed. Some of these symptoms can turn into chronic conditions if left untreated. Fortunately, simple things can be done at home to improve air quality and ease symptoms. 7 at-home precautions you can't afford to forget
Try Triple Complex BronchoSoothe™, a homeopathic remedy that temporarily relieves tightening of the chest to open airways, and BioVent Drops™, an herbal remedy to support healthy lungs and help keep air passages open for easy breathing.
Try MiGone Plus™ to promote calm & discourage common nervous tension for clear-headed comfort and Fatigue Fighter™ to promote healthy energy levels, stamina and vitality naturally What else can you do?
The most important thing you can do for your body is to detox on a regular basis. This can be done in a number of ways, but the main idea is to support the liver and its function of cleaning our blood. Try Detox Drops™ to promote natural cleansing, detoxification and toxin elimination and Liver Dr.™ to support healthy liver functioning. Drink plenty of water and get fresh air and vigorous exercise everyday. Try EcoSlim™ to help maintain a healthy weight & balanced metabolism, plus assist slimming programs. Natural remedies can also be used to provide the body with extra support. Whether to promote energy levels and clear concentration or support detox efforts, natural remedies have been used for centuries to promote well-rounded health and harmony in bodily systems.

This Banana Chocolate Cupcake recipe makes 24 regular-sized cupcakes which is perfect for a large gathering or birthday party. The batter is a snap to make because you just stir the wet ingredients together in one bowl and the dry ingredients together in another bowl. Mix the two and you are done. The batter is quite thin so use an ice cream scoop or small ladle to fill the muffin cups. Now while the recipe calls for cocoa powder, it doesn't specify which kind, which means you can use either regular unsweetened or Dutch-processed. As always, keep in mind that the type and brand of cocoa powder you use will determine the flavor of the cupcakes, so use the best you can afford. The other ingredient in this batter to take note of, is that the fat is in liquid form (canola or corn oil). The reason I bring this up is because oil makes for a moist and tender cupcake that stores very well, with the added advantage that they can be refrigerated and still stay soft.

Hi. I cannot find QT for BSD.
Is that released?
4 replies
The X11 release should be compatible and you should be able to build it from source. All final release of Qt 5.0.0 are available here [origin.releases.qt-project.org]
Basically nobody volunteers to invest the time and energy required to maintain a BSD release, so there is none. There has been no documented interested in the community to maintain Qt on BSD that I am aware of and there seems to be little commercial interest either — which makes Digia and other companies less likely to jump on this task.
Are there volunteers from the BSD camp that are willing to take on the task? Be aware that this is not a small task! You will most likely need a small team of people to pull this off.

Of all the books of the New Testament, the Gospel According to St. Matthew, with its many parables, likely is the most quoted.
You know, it starts with all those "begets" — some 40 of them once Abraham begat Isaac — and goes on to the many "blesseds" ("Blessed are the poor, for they shall inherit the kingdom of heaven," etc.).
In 1972, director and writer John-Michael Tebelak and composer Stephen Schwartz found the gospel a fitting theme for a stage musical named "Godspell."
In the Golden Age of rock biblical musicals, they turned "Godspell" into a hit on Broadway where it ran for some 2,600 performances. The film version was released in 1973.
But then except for school and community group productions, "Godspell" lay mostly dormant for a long spell.
Finally, two years ago "Godspell" was reworked for the professional stage and is at Theatre at the Center in Munster to Oct. 20.
Under Stacey Flaster's direction and choreography, "Godspell" follows a contemporary Jesus Christ as he transforms the timeless parables into teaching moments for his 12 disciples.
The parables are presented in songs of varying genres — rock, gospel, country and folk — and are performed by an energetic, youthful and multitalented cast that also provides some of its own instrumentation to supplement Theatre at the Center's terrific orchestra directed by Bill Underwood.
Some of the songs were hits in their day, especially "Day by Day," which reached No. 13 and ran 14 weeks on Billboard's Hot 100 list.
Flaster conducted open auditions to gain a fresh cast, led by Liam Quealy as Jesus Christ and Jim DeSelm as Judas/John the Baptist. In keeping with the contemporary theme, ensemble members are known by their real first names.
Hillary Marren, for example, who beautifully sings "Day by Day," is simply Hillary. Then there are Landree Fleming, Alexis J. Rogers, Rose LeTran, George Keating, Kathleen Gibson, Matt Deitchman, Merrick Robinson, Lauren Paris and David Hathaway.
The original Broadway production was set on the streets of New York; here it's a tropical setting with everyone attired in jeans or shorts.
Quealy is a real twist on Jesus. With a face with hardly peach fuzz, he comes on as a bushy-haired surfer dude, but he and the cast can be both exuberant rockers and serious balladeers.
The trouble with the "new" "Godspell" is that without much dialogue and mostly corny humor, the two-hour show is overlong.
Similar rock musical shows of the early 1970s that often have been reprised — "Hair," "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" and "Jesus Christ Superstar" — have far more compelling narratives and music overall.
There's a reason why "Godspell" got left behind.

Mar 25th 2009 3:08PM I loved this article too!
I echoes everything i have been saying to myself for the last 6 months.
The Rogue has been gimped because other classes are now SUPER POWERS.
People that get demolished by Rogues are Rogues too. We know what is fair and what isnt. Theres way too many bad players out there that are under the impression that being a Rogue is easy.
Play in the arena as Rogue in WOTLK and tell me Rogues run over people. We has to be so god damn sharp its sick.
I dont think Id play this game if i wasnt a Rogue. He is my first, my main, my last.
Cheers to all my rogue brothers!
Breakfast Topic: What is WoW's biggest mistake? {WoW}
Mar 25th 2009 1:33PM Great post. Im an avid PVPer and casual raider. I enjoy 5 mans more.
In BC i couldnt do the high level endgame instances HMGT, Sunwell, or Kara even, without the proper gear and skill. My epic PVP set did nothing for me.
now i face roll through Naxx, VOA, OS etc. in blues and the only negative is that i got to listen to some leet QQ about how my Recount DPS is low. I shouldnt even be here. My presence should cause a fail.
"pinata drops" are the best thing i ever heard. Anyone with a keyboard can be fully decked out in the best gear in the game. with minimal effort and skill.
for me, my "leet" game was the arena. I dont get why raiders and PVE enthusiats hate it so much. Its the same game only harder. By harder i mean more "active". I think leet raiders would thrive in the arena. they just have some bias against it. now the arena is a joke because you have the leet of the leet arena guys running and they are just unbeatable for 99% of the wow population.
BGs coulda been AWESOME in Wrath. And what do we get? SOTA? Give me a break. this is the best idea? Use tanks to zerg walls defended by manned guns? WTF is that? Thats not PVP. Thats some flash game I play when im bored.

Breakfast Topic: What is WoW's biggest mistake? {WoW}
Mar 25th 2009 10:05AM Theres no single right answer to this question. Its simply the sum of all of Blizz's mistakes.
Content too easy = Fail
Too much focus on the mini game of 25 man raids without enough 25 man raids = Fail
Not enough freedom to progress your toon beyond the ways Blizz wants you to = Fail
Not enough focus on 5 man isntances = Fail
World PVP doesnt exist = Fail
Wintergrasp = Fail
Lack of new BGs = Fail
Complete imbalance amongst classes = Fail
Arena = Fail
-- Other --
Death Knights = Fail
Palladins = Fail
The PVE game is way too easy. The PVP game is way to hard unless ur a DK or Pally.
Developers call for focused PvP testing on the PTR {WoW}
Mar 25th 2009 9:04AM This is F'n histerical!
They want to test arena NOW on the PTR realm?
LOLOLOLOL..........what planet are these guys on?
1. Its too little too late. Period.
2. PTR realm might be the worst place to test anything PVP.
a. Who joins the PTRs? PVE focused Raiders not Arena players. Any findings they have will be like compairing Apples to Oranges.

Free respecs? Really? wow.......
The respec Tax is the saddest thing in WOW today. They tax you a sizeable amount of gold to rebuild your talent tree. So, instead of havign a systam where players are more free to test hings out and learn and grow, we have a system where you better look up the Cookie cutter specs cause it will cost you a Tax for not getting it right.

The evolutionary design of Arena gear {WoW}
Mar 23rd 2009 12:22PM You know what I love about Blizz. Is that they know where they slack, but they jsut plow ahead as if its the greatest thing since sliced bread. Im convinced that the team there has been downsized to small group.
Which explains why.....
It's taking 6 months to come close to PVP balance.
It's taking 6 month to create PVE content that isnt faceroll material.
It's taking 6 month to get visual gear ehancements that suck anway.
DKs where a good idea.
Wintergraps is an epic fail of bordum and lag.
I still lag out in Dalaran/Naxx/WG.
Only 1 new battle ground was made (SOTA) and its not a real BG.
Dual specs are about 2 years too late.
5 Man heroics are being neglected in favor of the 25 man mini game.

The evolutionary design of Arena gear {WoW}
Mar 23rd 2009 9:24AM I dont know why we are supposed to care about this article. Unless your a DK or Pally, you're not getting this gear. Not the way the system is set up today anyway.
Lemmons, I see you alot on these posts and your a Rogue correct? As am I. It's funny how you and I have the same views on these topics.
Battlegrounds are "Real PVP" but in no way shape or form does it compare to what the Arena is. Which is why Arena gear must be the standard for PVP.
I spent end game 70 almost exclusively in PVP. Now in Wrath I am forced to play the mini game of 10/25 man Raids to get leet gear. And I must say, its a joke. Naxx gear, badges....WELFARE EPICS. It is so easy to get decked out in PVE drops is sad.
Meanwhile, in the arena, its a brutal slug-fest where only the leet team make ups are all0wed to get the gear. I mean its a foregone conclusion that if you dont have a Pally on your team, you're basically gimped.
In season 1-3 you had "easy" competition. No rating meant bad teams in the arena grinding matches. So you had a pool of bad teams that were clearly not in same league as Arena heads. NOW, the mediocre teams, are gone. Leaving good teams banging it out just to get 1600.
I spend hours on the arena ladder looking at team configurations. Maybe, just maybe if I didnt always see a DK and/or Pally on every single team with a high rating, I wouldn't complain.
Cute combos like Rogue/Disc priest can get you into 1700 area, but then DK/Pally time comes and ur sunk.
Blizzard's fetish with Pallys and DKs ruined the arena. Those two classes all but eliminated the need to have other classes. If you need heals, your best option is a H-Pally and if you need Deeps your best option is a DK.
PVE = Welfare Epics
Arena = Leet Epics
BGs = Welfare Epics
Dont like that? Go roll on some drop in a 25 man where your presence isnt even needed. Every piece of gear that isnt Arena is welfare in my opinion. All it takes is the skill of being in a guild that raids or reading the Trade channel when pugs are running.
Breakfast Topic: It's gotta happen sometime {WoW}

At the recent New York premiere of the Jodie Foster film, nearly every guest was trying to mimic the cabin-bound character. ''It's going to be everywhere,'' says Foster. But future Nellspeakers beware: The tongue (featuring ''ga'inja'' for guardian angel) is a tough one. Foster reveals that Irish-brogued costar Liam Neeson had the hardest time picking it up. ''We'd make jokes about it,'' says Foster. ''Liam would put this Irish thing on all the words.'' And Natasha Richardson Neeson's costar in the movie and in real life claims she also ''had a hard time. And I only had to learn a few words.''

May 22, 1975
Honorable King LysenState Representative, 31st DistrictLegislative BuildingOlympia, Washington 98504 Cite as: AGLO 1975 No. 54
Dear Sir:
By letter previously acknowledged you have requested our opinion on several questions pertaining to certain of the reporting requirements of Initiative No. 276, now codified as chapter 42.17 RCW. We paraphrase your questions as follows:
(1) If a state legislator receives compensation for preparing, supporting or opposing particular legislation is he required to report that compensation under RCW 42.17.240(1)(e)?
(2) Is the person making the payments referred to in question (1) required to report those payments as lobbying expenses under RCW 42.17.170(2)(a)?
(3) Are funds received by a legislative candidate during his electoral campaign to be reported as contributions under RCW 42.17.080-42.17.090 where paid with the understanding that the funds are to "cover" the candidate's time spent as such?
(4) Does the act of paying a legislator for preparing, supporting or opposing legislation, or compensating a legislative candidate for his time spent as such, cause the person thus paying to become a lobbyist as defined in RCW 42.17.020(17), and his employer to be a "lobbyist-employer" as defined in RCW 42.17.020(18)?
We answer questions (1) through (3) in the affirmative and question (4) as set forth in our analysis.
As you know, Initiative No. 276 was adopted by the voters of this state at the November 7, 1972, general election and became effective on January 1, 1973. It has since been codified as chapter 42.17 RCW and, consequently, we will hereinafter cite its provisions by their code designations in accordance with customary practice.
[[Orig. Op. Page 2]]Question (1):
Your first question involves so much of RCW 42.17.240 as provides that:
"(1) Every elected official (except president, vice president and precinct committeemen) shall on or before January 31st of each year, and every candidate (except for the offices of president, vice president and precinct committeeman) shall, within two weeks of becoming a candidate, file with the commission a written statement sworn as to its truth and accuracy stating for himself and his immediate family for the preceding twelve months:
". . .
"(e) All persons for whom actual or proposed legislation, rules, rates, or standards has been prepared, promoted, or opposed for current or deferred compensation; the description of such actual or proposed legislation, rules, rates or standards; and the amount of current or deferred compensation paid or promised to be paid; and . . ."
The term "elected official" as used in this section of the initiative is defined by RCW 42.17.020(9) to mean:
". . . any person elected at a general or special election to any public office, and any person appointed to fill a vacancy in any such office."
The term "public office" is defined by RCW 42.17.020(23) to mean:
". . . any federal, state, county, city, town, school district, port district, special district, or other state political subdivision elective office."
Consequently, there can be no question but that a state legislator is an "elected official" for the purposes of RCW 42.17.240, supra, and from this it readily follows that your first question must be answered in the affirmative. The course of conduct described therein falls squarely within the purview of subpart (1)(e) of the statute as above quoted. Accord, the publication entitled "Initiative 276 Data Handbook for Legislators," published by the office of [[Orig. Op. Page 3]] program research of the house of representatives, at page 71d wherein precisely the same question was affirmatively answered on the basis of the following reasoning:
". . . He is promoting legislation for a particular person for a sum in addition to his regular salary. Subsection (e) of Section 24 requires all persons to be listed for whom actual or proposed legislation has been prepared, promoted, or opposed for current or deferred compensation, the description of such legislation and the amount paid or promised to be paid for his efforts."
Question (2):
Repeated for ease of reference this question, as above paraphrased, reads as follows:
Is the person making the payments referred to in question (1) required to report those payments as lobbying expenses under RCW 42.17.170(2)(a)?
RCW 42.17.020(16) defines the term "lobby" and "lobbying" to mean:
". . . attempting to influence the passage or defeat of any legislation by the legislature of the state of Washington, or the adoption or rejection of any rule, standard, rate or other legislative enactment of any state agency under the state Administrative Procedure Acts, chapter 34.04 RCW and chapter 28B.19 RCW."
A "lobbyist" is ". . . any person who shall lobby either in his own or another's behalf." RCW 42.17.020(17).
RCW 42.17.150-42.17.230 codify the portion of Initiative 276 which regulates the conduct of lobbyists. In particular, RCW 42.17.170 to which you have referred in your question requires all lobbyists who are required to register under RCW 42.17.150 (i.e., those not exempt from registration under RCW 42.17.160) to file periodic reports with the state public disclosure commission. As set forth in subsection (2) of the statute these reports are required to include:
"(a) The totals of all expenditures made or incurred by such lobbyist or on behalf of such lobbyist by the lobbyist's employer during the period covered by the report, which totals shall be segregated according to financial category, including food and refreshments; [[Orig. Op. Page 4]] living accommodations; advertising; travel; telephone; contributions; office expenses, including rent and the salaries and wages paid for staff and secretarial assistance, or the proportionate amount thereof, paid or incurred for lobbying activities; and other expenses or services: Provided however, That unreimbursed personal living and travel expenses of a lobbyist not incurred directly or indirectly for any lobbying purpose need not be reported: and Provided further, That the interim weekly reports of legislative lobbyists for the legislative session need show only the expenditures for food and refreshments; living accomodations; travel; contributions; and such other categories as the commission shall prescribe by rule. Each individual expenditure of more than fifteen dollars for entertainment shall be identified by date, place, amount, and the names of all persons in the group partaking in or of such entertainment including any portion thereof attributable to the lobbyist's participation therein but without allocating any portion of such expenditure to individual participants."
When an individual "employs" a legislator for compensation, paying him over and above his legislative salary to prepare, support or oppose particular legislation, that person is most certainly engaged in lobbying.1/ Therefore, [[Orig. Op. Page 5]] it necessarily follows that the amounts so paid must be reported by the "employer" as a lobbyist under the foregoing statutory language.
Question (3):
This question asks:
Are funds received by a legislative candidate during his electoral campaign to be reported as contributions under RCW 42.17.080-42.17.090 where paid with the understanding that the funds are to "cover" the candidate's time spent as such?
RCW 42.17.080 and 42.17.090 pertain to the contents of certain reports which are required to be filed with the state public disclosure commission by candidates for public office and/or their campaign treasurers. Among the items which are to be included in those reports are "contributions" which have been received by the candidate or his campaign committee during the reporting period. RCW 42.17.020(8) defines the term "contribution" as including:
". . . a loan, gift, deposit, subscription, forgiveness of indebtedness, donation, advance, pledge, payment, transfer of funds between political committees, or transfer of anything of value, including personal and professional services for less than full consideration, but does not include ordinary home hospitality and the rendering of 'part time' personal services of the sort commonly performed by volunteer campaign workers or incidental expenses not in excess of twenty-five dollars personally paid for by any volunteer campaign worker. . . ."
When, during an electoral campaign, funds are paid to or for the benefit of a candidate in order to assist him in defraying his personal expenses while on a campaign trail, it is our opinion that the funds thus paid must be treated as "contributions" under the foregoing definition. The purpose of the payments, presumably, is to allow the [[Orig. Op. Page 6]] candidate to continue campaigning instead of having to return to his regular employment or the like ‑ or to work full time instead of part time, etc. Therefore, in a very real sense any such payments necessarily will constitute "contributions" in support of the candidacy of the individual involved.
Question (4):
Finally you have asked:
Does the act of paying a legislator for preparing, supporting or opposing legislation, or compensating a legislative candidate for his time spent as such, cause the person thus paying to become a lobbyist as defined in RCW 42.17.020(17), and his employer to be a "lobbyist-employer" as defined in RCW 42.17.020(18)?
We have already noted the definition of "lobbyist" as it appears in RCW 42.17.020(17),supra. The term "lobbyist-employer" is, in turn, defined by subsection (18) of this same statute to mean:
". . . the person or persons by whom a lobbyist is employed and all persons by whom he is compensated for acting as a lobbyist."
Thus, on the same basis as we have above concluded that the legislator's "employer" under the circumstances contemplated by your first and second questions is thereby a "lobbyist," it likewise follows that the employer of that lobbyist is a "lobbyist's employer." We thus, likewise, answer your final question in the affirmative insofar as it involves payments to a legislator for preparing, supporting or opposing legislation.
Your question, however, then goes on also to deal with payments made to the same individual earlier ‑ as a candidate for the legislature. In answering your third question we have labeled those payments as campaign "contributions" for the purposes of reporting under RCW 42.17.080 and 42.17.090. They are thus to be reported by the candidate or his campaign treasurer or committee under that statute rather than as "compensation" under RCW 42.17.240,supra ‑ assuming, as we do for the purposes of this aspect of your final question, that the payments are made gratuitously to cover the candidate's expenses, etc., and not as payment for services actually to be rendered by the candidate such as preparing legislation or the like.
[[Orig. Op. Page 7]] However, whether they will, in addition, also have to be reported as lobbying expenses under RCW 42.17.170,supra, ‑ or, in general, will cause those involved in making the payments to become either lobbyists or lobbyists-employers ‑ will depend upon whether, under the circumstances present, the expenditures can be said to have been made for the purpose of seeking to influence the passage or defeat of legislation; i.e., "lobbying" as defined in RCW 42.17.020(16), supra.
We trust that the foregoing will be of assistance to you.
Very truly yours,
SLADE GORTONAttorney General
JAMES M. VACHEAssistant Attorney General
1/In addition, any such payment to a legislator (as opposed, perhaps, to some member of his family or the like) for supporting or opposing particular legislation pending before the legislature would quite possibly constitute bribery under RCW 9.18.010, which prohibits any person from giving
". . . any compensation, gratuity or reward to a member of the legislature, . . . to influence such member to give or withhold his vote or to absent himself from the house of which he is a member or from any committee thereof; . . ."
and makes such conduct a felony. Also, a legislator who would receive such compensation under those conditions could be guilty of asking or receiving a bribe under RCW 9.18.020. At least, such conduct by either a lobbyist or a legislator could constitute "grafting" under RCW 9.18.110.
See, also, so much of Article II, § 30 of the state constitution as provides that:
". . . A member who has a private interest in any bill or measure proposed or pending before the legislature, shall disclose the fact to the house of which he is a member, and shall not vote thereon."

I have read that gargling saltwater can alleviate chronic sinus/tonsil issues. My tonsils are always enlarged so I thought I might try this. My question is since salt is implicated in high blood pressure, can gargling saltwater increase blood pressure?
Garling saltwater was an old time remedy my mom used on us kids, but I'm not certain it's such a good idea. Have you considered doing oil pulling?Oil Pulling, Wonderful Therapy, An Ancient Ayurvedic natural remedies for Great Health
There are endless combinations of truth.
salt can help with sore throats and such, but if you do it too much, it can errode your teeth. If you have chronic problems with tonsils and sinuses, you probably have a form of staph there. soulsurvivor-I have never heard of oil pulling. Interesting. Thanks!
As a kid, we gargled with warm salt water for sore throats. Not sure if it was the warmth of the water or the salt, but it seemed to help. I've not had a sore throat in years (knock on wood), so I've not used anything lately.
"Luck is the residue of design" - Branch Rickey
I wouldn't think it would affect your blood pressure as you're not drinking it, just gargling with it. I would say that you would probably absorb a small amount through the tissue inside your mouth, but not enough to cause a problem. That's just my opinion, though. I use the neti pot daily during sinus season, and I've never heard of any warning for those with high bp, but I will ask my naturopath the next time I talk to him.
melissa, I've done this for yrs. b/c as a kid used to get strep a lot. Haven't had that or sore throats as long as I keep doing it. By coincidence, I have a friend who apparantly raised her bloodpressure inadvertantly, by brushing her teeth w baking soda. She switched back to brushing w salt, and the problem went away in a week's time! Last summer I had my salt levels checked and was surprised to see it was quite high, as I don't cook w salt; just add some to taste when eating. Have also stopped brushing my teeth w baking soda, and won't know til this coming July when I do the test again, if baking soda was the culprit. My dentist said once that gargling w salt was fine, just do a rinse gargle w plain water after. Whatever you decide, I hope you're comfortable with it.
My whole family suffered through a bought of strep throat last fall and we would gargle with salt water and then rinse with plain water to get the taste out of our mouth. I would also gargle with apple cider vinegar and water (a tablespoon or so to a 8 ounce glass of water. I would do salt water one time and the vinegar mixture the next. It really helped my throat feel better. I have high blood pressure and measure it every day, and I didn't notice that it went up when doing the salt water gargle.
I grew up gargling with salt water. never had a problem. Don't dentist still tell you to swish salt water in your mouth after having a tooth pulled? I know they use to.
Have you considered a Neti Pot to rinse your sinuses? Mine came with packs to disolve in warm filtered water, or you can mix your own.
My book is out! Go 'like' it on FB:http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Goo...83553391747680
I had sinus surgery a couple of weeks ago. I have to rinse my sinuses 2x day with salt water. It doesn't affect my BP. But that's rinsing not gargling.
We have always used warm salt water gargling when we have a sore throat. I remember hearing on the news recently that salt was only bad for your blood pressure if you have a problem with it but does not affect it if it is normal. I also use baking soda for toothbrushing and I have no problem with my BP.

Air Force Plant PJKS is located near Waterton Canyon on property owned by Lockheed Martin. It was built in 1956 to assemble and test missiles for the U.S. Department of Defense. Accidental spills and waste disposal left the soil and groundwater replete with rocket fuel, fuel oil and polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCBs. The site was placed on the NPL in November 1989. The Air Force, Lockheed Martin and the Army Corps of Engineers are working on the cleanup; the EPA estimates completion in 2005.
Broderick Wood Products treated utility poles, fences, railroad ties and other wood products with pentachlorophenol (PCP) on its Adams County property from 1947 to 1981. In 1983, the EPA found PCP -- which, if ingested or inhaled, can cause organ damage, skin irritation and respiratory problems -- in the soil and groundwater on the 64-acre property; the site was added to the NPL a year later. Broderick Investment Company was ordered in 1990 to excavate the sludge, which was transferred to a reclamation facility in Alabama. In 1992, the EPA ordered the company and the Burlington Northern Railroad, which operated railroad shops on the property before 1947, to clean up the remaining waste, but they refused; the EPA eventually settled with the Broderick Investment Company and is still trying to recoup money from the railroad. Most of the contamination has been removed, but Broderick won't be taken off the NPL until groundwater standards are met, which could take several more years.
California Gulch, in Leadville, has been on the NPL since 1983. Mining in the eighteen-square-mile area left the Arkansas River polluted with lead and acid-mine drainage. A water-treatment plant has since been built there, and the mining companies responsible for the pollution agreed to help pay for the removal of contamination. The majority of the river cleanup is finished, but the EPA could be in Leadville removing waste from residential yards for another 24 years.
Clear Creek, which runs through Idaho Springs, Central City and into Golden, was contaminated with mine tailings and acidic water from the more than 1,000 mines in Clear Creek and Gilpin Counties; high levels of zinc and cadmium killed a lot of aquatic life in the creek, and lead and arsenic in the water pose health risks to humans. The 400-square-mile watershed was placed on the NPL in 1983, and while the worst of the pollution has been cleaned up, there is still a lot of work left. According to EPA estimates, the cleanup will be done in 2006.
Chemical Sales Company, located on a five-square-mile industrial area in northeast Denver, was placed on the NPL in 1988 after the EPA discovered that nearby groundwater was contaminated with organic materials from the company's chemical storage. Chemical Sales distributed industrial chemicals and detergents. Early studies showed that people drinking, cooking with or bathing in the sullied groundwater were at risk for cancer. The 400 residents who relied on private wells were provided water from the South Adams County Water and Sanitation District, and the EPA removed leaky drums containing the contaminants. Most of the pollution has since been removed, but like the Broderick Wood Products site, Chemical Sales won't be taken off the NPL until groundwater standards are met.
Denver Radium Site actually includes 44 properties throughout the city that were contaminated and then abandoned in the late 1920s after the radium industry collapsed. Radium and its by-product, radon, can cause lung cancer. Most of the sites have been cleaned up since they were first added to the NPL in 1983, including the present location of the Home Depot at 500 South Santa Fe Drive. The last -- and probably the most well-known -- of these sites to be dealt with was the now-defunct Shattuck Chemical Company at 1805 South Bannock Street in Denver's Overland neighborhood, where residents pushed the EPA to remove, rather than simply cap, the radioactive waste. Cleanup is expected to be complete in 2004.
Eagle Mine, along the Eagle River near Vail, produced zinc in the late 1800s and early 1900s; high levels of zinc, arsenic, cadmium, copper and lead were left in the soil and water, and most of the fish died as a result. Drinking-water wells in nearby Minturn were also contaminated; a school and several homes are located near the largest tailings piles. The mine was placed on the NPL in 1986; since the cleanup was initiated, the fish population has increased, and the risks to human health have been eliminated; it should be finished this year.
Lincoln Park is a semi-rural community two miles south of Cañon City, where groundwater was contaminated with molybdenum and uranium from a nearby uranium mill. Although few in the area rely on wells for drinking water, most use the groundwater to irrigate their orchards and gardens and to feed their cattle. Prolonged exposure to molybdenum can cause gout in humans and can poison animals; uranium can cause kidney damage. Lincoln Park was added to the NPL in 1984; since then, residents have been given the option of connecting to the city's water supply, and a treatment wall has been constructed to remove the metals from the groundwater. According to the EPA, the completion date for this site's cleanup is unknown.

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 Tucker!
Facts about Tucker
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Black & White Or Tuxedo
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Tucker's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, and good with cats.
6 mths old
We received a call about a couple of kittens running in the street. Sadly when we arrived one kitten was hit by a car, so we knew we had to take Tucker in right away. He is safe now and doing real well!
Tucker needs someone with patience knowing what he has been through and he will come around.
Other Pets at Chance at Life Cat Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Tucker, a River Edge 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 River Edge, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in River Edge.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in River Edge 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 River Edge 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 River Edge paves the way for another one to be saved.

When spectators come up to us at competitions they are always overwhelmed with the variety of smokers it takes to produce great BBQ at a competition. Most competitors swear by the top names in the industry such as Stump, Jambo, Yoder etc.The most popular of these right now are Stumps Smokers. Stump's specializes in gravity fed smokers. This type of smokers cooking chamber looks like a refrigerator with a charcoal chute on the side. A hot bed of coals is loaded in the chute and then fresh charcoal is added. As the hot bed of coals continues to burn, more and more charcoal from above drops on top to create a constant burn, therefore a constant temperature. Some cooks can keep this temperature up using a ball valve alone at the bottom of the chamber, but far more use what is called a BBQ Guru (Cyber Q II BBQ Guru) or similar device. This device has a fan and temperature control monitor. The fan goes in the ball valve and you set your temperature on the control panel. As long as you have charcoal in the chute, the guru will keep it burning.
Jambo's and Yoder's are what we call "stick burners". I don't want to simplify these smokers to much that you think they are a basic smoker, because they are far from it. In basic form they are like a CharGriller, or reverse flow type smoker. There is the cooking chamber and a fire box. Wood or charcoal is loaded into the firebox and that keeps the smoker going. Folks who make this type of smoker in the backyard have a hard time keeping the temperature regulated, but Jambo's and Yoder's have patented designs that make these smokers easy to regulate thus making them the Cadillac of stick burners.
Now for lazy people, like myself, there is the pellet smoker. These smokers were very popular in the early 2000's before gravity fed smokers became well-known. These smokers can come in horizontal or vertical form. They have a cooking chamber and a pellet chute that is filled with pellets. These pellets move via auger into a fire pot located at the bottom of the cooking chamber. Attached to the pellet chute is a control panel that does all the thinking for you. All you have to do is, literally, set it and forget it! There are many different brands of pellet smokers, one or the most popular being Fast Eddies. The Bubba & Son BBQ team is sponsored by Green Mountain Grills. This pellet smoker company is not as popular as Fast Eddie or Traeger on the circuit, but I would choose this grill over any of the competition. I was sponsored by another pellet smoker company last year and had to sever ties because of the bad quality of their product (email me for more info). I got hooked up with the great folks of Green Mountain last fall and they have been great. I solely cook on these smokers and have received a top 10 call at all 5 competitions that I have competed in this year. These smokers are great because they have all the features of the top dollar pellet smokers, but at a price a poor man can afford.
How to pick the right grill for smoking in your backyard or starting a competition team isn't easy. There is a lot of trial and error involved. I don't know any pitmaster that has just one type of smoker in their backyard. You'll research a smoker, think you have the best one, and then something new will come out, or you'll realize it's not the one for you. I currently have about 8 different smokers in my fleet and that's after selling a few last year. Do your research and I am sure you will be happy with whatever smoker you buy. The best research is going to a BBQ competition and talking to competitors about their smokers. We love boasting about our smokers and we all think our own is the best around!
If you have any questions or comments please feel free to email me! email@example.com
Keep Smokin'

Microsoft has launched the new Surface Pro 3, sporting the power of a laptop in the form of a tablet. I am very curious. When you compare a Surface Pro 3 versus a comparable MacBook Air, it's about the same price—around a $100 difference. The Surface Pro 3 has a 12-inch touch display, whereas the MacBook Air can be purchased in an 11-inch and 13-inch size. And when you consider the difference in the operating system, we might very well be comparing apples and oranges. None the less, it's a ... Continue Reading
Much Ado About Windows Phone
In the good ol' days, handheld technology wars were much simpler. For PDA platforms, you had Palm and Windows Mobile. You generally picked one, made fun of the other camp, and life was good. Then, Palm started making WM-powered devices, and it nas not been the same since. Thankfully, the consumer space is filled with some great options. BlackBerry might be struggling, but is very much alive; iOS is thriving and Android is propagating in huge numbers. Palm morphed into WebOS and was put out ... Continue Reading
Mobile App Stores Head-to-Head [Infographic]
I used to work at a video game store. When customers were trying to decide which system to purchase, this is what I would tell them: "Focus on the game library." I think the same can be said for smartphones and tablets. There are many apps that can be used on multiple devices--sometimes better and sometimes worse--but what can really separate the different OS' are the exclusive apps. If you find that your favorite apps can only be found on a particular platform, that's the direction you ... Continue Reading
Why I Abandoned My Windows RT Tablet
I picked up an Asus Vivo RT tablet fairly soon after they came out as my computer had just decided it didn't like my hard drive and it wanted to wipe it clean. I needed something to use for my job as an English language teacher, write lesson material, download resources, print things off and Skype with friends and family back in England. The idea of a Windows experience appealed to me (as that was what I was most used to with the exception of a few linux experiments and some bad experiences ... Continue Reading
Run Full x86 Apps on Windows RT
As a Windows RT user I am very aware of it's short comings. Although it tries to market itself as a premium Tablet , with a price to match, it's serious lack of applications and inability to run full windows 8 programs make it fail to live up to the hype and promises that some of the full windows 8 tablets may. However, a hacker has been working to address at least half of that imbalance by creating a way to run full x86 applications on Windows RT tablets. Windows RT opperates on ARM ... Continue Reading

2012 Christmas Tech Deals: Phones
[See more 2012 Christmas Tech Deals] Phones have been called our lifelines to the world and for many people, they are the most personal things that we own. For those of you in ministry, smartphones are a great option because you always go to meetings early, the people you are meeting do not show up on time (if at all), and so you have a solid twenty minutes that you could be checking your email, sending teens a Facebook message, or going over your sermon one last time.

Pitbull brings his flavour to Katy Perry's new single.
We knew it was coming, and now we can all hear it. Pitbull has added a verse to Katy Perry's new single Dark Horse.
Stepping in place of Juicy J for this remix, Pitbull brings his usual energy to the track
The song's producer, Dr Luke, had tweeted earlier this month saying he liked Pitbull's verse, leading fans to question whether Juicy J was being officially replaced. Thankfully, he reassured everyone that that wasn't the case.
@pitbull, great verse on #DarkHorse !!!! @katyperry

Lockheed Martin Corporation ( LMT ) won a $152 million, five-year contract from the U.S. Air Force to help the force transition its legacy Sniper pod sustainment support from Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio to Warner Robins Air Force Base in Georgia. Further, Lockheed added that it may also provide services like engineering support, initial line replaceable unit spares, support equipment and pod containers to the Air Force. Lockheed Martin is the largest U.S. defense contractor with a platform-centric focus that guarantees a steady inflow of follow-on orders from a leveraged presence in the Army, Air Force, Navy and IT programs. We expect the company to benefit from a strong defense focus on a number of its platform programs. The U.S. defense budget for 2012 was $645.7 billion, with the base budget at $530.6 billion and $115.1 billion approved for Overseas Contingency Operations ("OCO") as supplementary defense spending, mainly to fund ongoing wars. In February this year, the Department of Defense ("DoD") requested a Pentagon base budget of $525.4 billion for 2013, which is approximately $5.1 billion or 1% less than what is approved for fiscal 2012, with $88.5 billion earmarked for OCO spending.
In early August 2012, the subcommittee recommended $511 billion for DoD's base budget and $93 billion for OCO spending, for a total of $604.5 billion for fiscal 2013. Going forward, we believe Lockheed Martin has significant upside potential based on the Obama administration's focus on Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance (ISR), unmanned systems, force protection, cybersecurity, and missile defense. It already sits on an order backlog of approximately $75.5 billion at the end of the first half of 2012.
Of this, $26.9 billion belonged to the Aeronautics segment and $24.6 billion to the Electronic Systems segment. The rest is made up of $15.7 billion for the Space Systems segment and $8.3 billion for Information Systems & Global Solutions. We currently maintain our long-term Outperform recommendation on Lockheed Martin based on revenue growth, improved earnings guidance, incremental dividend payout and stable order backlog. The company's second quarter adjusted earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate and improved year over year, primarily on strong numbers from Aeronautics, Electronic Systems and Space Systems segments.
Going forward, we believe the current discounted valuation of the defense behemoth versus its peers like The Boeing Company ( BA ) and Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc. ( HII ) is unwarranted given its leveraged presence in the Army, Air Force, Navy and IT programs.
Also, shareholder return will continue to be shored up by the company's focus on debt repayment, its ongoing share repurchase program and the incremental dividend. Thus, Lockheed Martin carries a Zacks #2 Rank implying a short-term Buy rating for the next 1-3 months.

Twelfth Night
This final lesson in the series is best done after students have begun scene work on the play and are ready to get up and on their feet with the script in hand.
Folger edition of Twelfth Night Available in Folger print edition and Folger Digital Texts
Teacher prepared data sheet example (see data sheet example in Lesson 2)
Leather or cloth garden gloves
Red and yellow cards
Students should have their completed scavenger hunt (data sheets from Lesson 2) in front of them and, perhaps, a gauntlet (or glove) to throw down, or a red or yellow card (as in a soccer game) to hold up. If color cards are used, a red card should be used for the most severe deceptions.
As an student actor speaks the deception on the "stage," students are encouraged to gently toss a glove at the feet of the "offender" or to hold up a card to interrupt the course of the scene. Student audience members must clearly state what the deception is, whom it is meant to deceive, and what seem to be the causes of it. The interruptions should be quick and to the point, allowing several students to weigh in on each deception noted.
The teacher might lead the class in compiling as complete a list of deceptions in the play as possible. Each group of students (using the same groups formed in Lesson 2) could be assigned a group of scenes to review for deceptions contained within them.
Once the deceptions are out in the open, students might be asked to assume a character and to write persuasive letters that tell their side of the story. The deceivers will certainly have their reasons, but they will have to explain themselves to everyone's satisfaction.
Did the students demonstrate an understanding of what the terms of mistaken identity, misrepresentation, and changes of mind mean? Were they able to cite examples of these terms in the script and to defend their choices? Were the students able to write persuasively as the character to explain their deceptions?
