Chanda Timsina often gets asked why she is still living with her parents. Her American-born peers say, "You are 24 now. Don't you want to get your own apartment?"
For her, the choice to stay home is clear, this refugee from Bhutan replies. Solidarity with her family is more important right now than asserting her independence.
"We just came to this country in 2009," said Chanda, who lives with her grandmother, parents, brother and two sisters. "We know how we lived, how we survived together for 17 years in a refugee camp in Nepal. We want to stay together for now."
In a recent interview, Chanda and her sister Tika, 20, talked about this and other acculturation challenges, which involve so much more than just choice of clothing, language and food.
These young women clearly love the United States and the opportunities it offers to – as Chanda put it – "start life again with respect and dignity" and to advance one's education and career at any age. They look forward to applying for U.S. citizenship in two years.
"But I don't want to go enroll in someone else's culture and then forget mine," Chanda said. "That would make my parents feel bad. I don't have to act like I am from here. I already have my own culture."
Chanda and Tika said they cherish their family's rituals and routines, including starting each day together with a prayer. "We have our own calendar at home," Chanda said. "Our father keeps track of all the festivals we used to celebrate."
Lancaster's Nepali Bhutanese community is close knit. Now numbering between 750 and 1,000, it has grown large enough that "they are now opening some stores with cultural and religious things we used in Nepal. It's easier for us to keep our culture and we are proud of it."
Chanda and Tika's parents are strict vegetarians, and forbid alcohol, drugs and tobacco. They don't want their children going to dance clubs or parties or staying overnight with friends. Respecting their wishes means sacrificing certain opportunities to socialize with peers.
But their parents welcome their children's friends to their home. "They love our mom's delicious cooking," Chanda said. For her part, Tika has learned from some American friends how to make pizza and cookies.
Chanda graduated high school and completed one year of college in Nepal. Tika graduated high school in Lancaster last year and is in college. Their brother and other sister also have graduated high school.
Chanda would like to continue her college studies eventually, but has deferred in favor of working to help support her family. It took her eight frustrating months to find her first job, in the corner convenience store. Then she was trained as a certified nursing assistant and found work in a nursing home. She has a second job teaching preschool-aged children of migrant workers.
"Now I want to become a registered nurse, but I don't know when," Chanda said. "The good thing here is that it's never too late, you're never too old to go back to school."

My DH gave me the Go cutter for Christmas. I want to use it to help me get my scraps under control and to cut appliques that would be very time consuming to cut with scissors. I have the tumbler block, fall medley, holiday medley, and circle dies. If you have a cutter, which dies do you have?
I went through some of my older fabrics and scraps this weekend and cut lots of tumbler blocks. I used red, green, and blue for the dark blocks and left over creams and tans for the light blocks. I should be working on the Double Wedding Ring but starting this new project is more fun. I would like to know what you have made with your cutter. Linda OH |

I use alot of 2 1/2 inch die,the 6 1/2 inch, triangle,I am thinking of ordering the circles. I have adthiritis in my wrist and couple fingers so this has been helping me. I had one since last summer. Make sure you really read how to use it like putting it at a little angle to use it. |
finchelover, I have been watching a lot of the u-tube tutorials for the Go cutter. They are very informative. The last one I watched was about cutting on the straight grain so they don't stretch while cutting. I love the fact that the corners are cut off so angled pieces fit together perfectly. I think I am going to have a lot of fun with this. Linda OH |
- Posted by magothyrivergirl (My Page) on Mon, Jan 31, 11 at 10:46
Linda - absolutely make sure you cut on the straight of grain with the selvage edge running parallel to the side of the "GO". This is especially important for the 6/2" square and larger dies. The squares will be slightly smaller if you cut with the selvage edge parallel to the roller. I cut 48 squares, using Kona, before I discovered they were not accurate. I contacted Accuquilt who informed me this was operator error (ME). I am disenchanted with my Go as a result. There is a Yahoo group you should join for more info you can I am anxious to see how you use it. |
Thanks for the reminder. I found that some of the 4.5 inch squares that I cut on Christmas were smaller than others. Now I know why that happened. When I cut the tumblers I was careful to put it through the cutter on the straight of the grain. All of the tumblers that I have sewn together have been perfectly sized. Linda |
I have the 2&1/2, 4&1/2 that came with it and I purchased the 5 and 6&1/2 dies. There can be a lot of fabric waste (IMO) so I cut my fabric first, or fold it so the left over scrap will be large enough to use in a scrappy quilt. In the beginning I did have a learning curve, I felt so DUMB, what can be so hard about turning a handle to cut fabric lol!!!!! THEN I took the time to watch the videos!!!!!!! My only prob is I have a small sewing room so I have to put it away in the closet and move things around when I want to use it. It has really helped me, cutting fabric is my least fav part of quilting. I would rather iron than cut!!!!!!!! Rosa |
I really don't mind cutting with a rotary cutter. That is why I plan to buy the dies for things that are more difficult to cut like the tumbler. I want to get the drunkard path die. I have been wanting to make a quilt with that block for a long time but didn't want to cut it out. My DD says not to buy all of the dies that I want, to leave some for her to buy me next Christmas. We'll see how soon I want to make it. LOL Linda |

You guys are making me want to put this machine on my wish list! Since I consider myself still a newbie to quilting, I have a lot to learn, including how to cut with a rotary cutter. Accuracy in cutting is so critical. I did look at one at Joann's over the holidays. Pretty neat tool :-) Robbi |
Robbi, The main thing I like about the cutter is the accuracy. It will never replace my rotary cutter, but I do use it. I have 2 books of 'nickel' scrap quilts that I could cut out the entire top with the Go. Makes charity quilts come together faster too. If you decide to get one shop around as I have seen some sales. Rosa |

I used my GO for first time yesterday and very disappointed that with the tumbler die it is not a clean cut with just 2 layers of cotton quilting fabric. I still have to do a lot of cutting with scissors. Any suggestions? |

September 2010 Secundomian Elections
This article is a stub. You can help improve the article by expanding it. |
The September 2010 Secundomian Elections took place during the term of Luke of Secundomia.
Luke of Secundomia announced his intentions to run for re-election early in the election process. In the primaries of the Conservative Party nomination process, Luke and Parker I tied, leaving other candidates Ibrahim I and Spencer I out of the mix. Rather than vote again, Spencer I left the conservative party to form Spencer's Super Awesome Party of Super Awesomeness. Ibrahim I conceded defeat, and thew his support behind Luke. This support lead to Luke's victory.
In the actual elections, Luke was expected to achieve victory, but the SSAPSA nominated Spencer I, and Parker I nominated himself as an independent. Parker I heavily campaigned the election, and won over the support of two Liberal-Independents, rocketing him to a victory over Luke, whose primary support lay in the small active area of the Conservative Party, and Spencer I whose primary support was himself.
Official Result
█ Parker I (3)
█ Luke of Secundomia (2)
█ Spencer I (1)

We keep our default profile out on a network share. Then distribute a shortcut with a target something like this: "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2013\acad.exe" /p "Y:\Cad Directory\Acad2013.arg" and 19/20 times this works great for us. However if anything happens to the mounting of the user's Y drive (most frequently windows just doesn't bother to actually connect it until you open the drive in Win Explorer) when Acad is launched instead of falling back on the registry cached version of the profile it resets the profile to default and then saves over the registry version. Then on subsequent launches even after the network drive is restored it keeps the default profile and we have to delete the profile and relaunch to reload from the network.
It's certainly not the end of the world, but it is a pain. Any advice? This seems to be new behavior with 2013 since this is largely the same set up we've been using for...more years than I can recall. Originally we had migrated the profile from 2012, and I thought maybe there was some bad legacy left over from that so recreated the profile from scratch using 2013 and that seems to have not helped at all.
First I have never set a network version of Acad up so I might be way off here.
What if you used the network address instead of a share?
Like \\SERVER\Cad Directory\Acad2013.arg
Could this work?
It has been talked about but has some other challenges. We're spread across over a dozen offices/ home offices / job sites. The Y drive is home to most of our cad support/template/automation data. It's replicated to 3 servers servicing east coast, west coast, and midwest and on a per-user basis the Y drive is mapped to their best geographic match for location.
That said, the profile only amounts to 50k and should only be pulled when a user is running for the first time, or is resetting their profile. I'll try the full network path to our central server and see if the behavior is any better.
I've seen similar problems stemming from AutoCAD being launched before drives are mapped. What we do for new users is run a set-up BAT routine which runs AutoCAD with the default profile to run the secondary installer, then apply a REG file with the initial profile contents. Because its a REG file, it can also be re-applied very easily if needed at a later time.

I was excited, as I LOVED the Football's Finest set and always wished Marino was included in the set. I was disappointed though as he stated it was a rumored card and that less than 10 exist. The other collector said he saw a picture of one once, but did not have a picture any longer. I more or less wrote it off, until one day I saw one on eBay. I placed a huge bid in and won it for $42. I couldn't wait to get the card in! I was puzzled as it did not feature the team logo. Nor did it say Topps on the front, so I waited to get the card in to see the same back as the factory set. Only... this is what I saw... Although cool, I thought maybe I bought one of those unlicensed cards from the mid-90s.I searched "Signs & Glassworks Inc." to no avail. I kept staring at the front of the card. The only other difference was the patent number. I grabbed other 'Chrome' technology cards, the same patent. I looked up the patent number, and Signs & Glassworks, Inc. was involved in the original patent. Along with consulting some of my older dealer friends, I came to the conclusion that this technology was developed by S&G. Topps is the one that bought it and rushed to get the product out using the same original design for the set. I believe they used this Marino card as a Sample to sell to the technology to the card companies. If this is all true, its by far the coolest, most historical card I have in my collection. The first Chrome card.

British Scientists Create Gasoline From Thin Air (And Water)!
With gas prices inching up, as well as, the constant reminder of the harmful environmental impact of fossil fuels, the quest to find another source of fuel has heated up considerably. Over the last few years we have seen many amazing alternatives ranging from electricity to bio-fuel but none come even close to this latest invention - Fuel manufactured from air and water! That is exactly what engineers and scientists at U.K. based Air Fuel Synthesis (AFS) claim to have created.
In order to manufacture this magical 'green' gasoline, the team begins by extracting carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and hydrogen from water. The two gases are then combined in a reactor. Then, with the help of a catalyst, the hydrocarbon mixture is converted into methanol, which is then transformed into usable fuel using a commonly known procedure called the MOBIL methanol-to-gasoline reaction.
Aside from the obvious advantage of using up harmful carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, this synthetic fuel is also better for the environment because it uses the exact raw materials that are required to make methanol and therefore, does not create the harmful byproducts that result when fossil fuels are burnt.
This breakthrough technique that took two years and $1.6 million pounds to develop is of course still in its infancy - In the last three months the engineers at AFS have only been able to create a total of 5 liters (1.32 gallons) of the synthetic gasoline. However, Air Fuel Synthesis CEO Peter Harrison believes that since the method has been proven, making the fuel on a larger scale will not be that difficult. That's because the raw materials are abundantly available and the refining process involves many of the steps that are already being used in the commercial manufacturing of other products, which means that the equipment for mass production can be just bought and assembled.
In fact, AFS is already planning a commercial refinery that will be ready for larger scale fuel production by 2015. However, the gas produced will not be sold to stations around the country, but instead be reserved for race cars and other vehicles that require special fuel.
Also since the actual cost of producing this amazing gas is not yet known, it is difficult to determine whether it will ever be freely available to the general public. But the fact that something this radical has been developed is good news for all of us!

- aanonymousWednesday, December 26, 2012 at 11:34 amIt's true that in burning this fuel, carbon dioxide will be re-released, but this process is better than using crude oil to make fuel. That process releases carbon dioxide that was previously trapped underground.

Happy Wars sees Microsoft finally, belatedly, enter the world of free-to-play gaming. It's a team-based multiplayer game that sees you and up to 29 other players engage in cutesy swords-and-sorcery combat, as two teams attempt to capture the base of their opponent. Think a 3D version of Awesomenauts based on a kids' TV show set in medieval times, and you're in the right postcode.
It's another simple, accessible MOBA game, in other words. You've got three well-balanced classes to choose from - Warriors wade into battle with swords and shields, Mages lob spells from range, and Clerics are your healers. Each has special skills that use up an Action Point gauge and you can also summon tactical weapons at specific locations, as well as commandeering new bases to spawn from when you die.
Reach your rival's castle and you can opt to smash through its gates with a battering ram or attempt to scale the walls using ladders while ballistas pepper you with arrows. A classic tactic would be to use Mages to attack the ballistas from distance while you keep them protected with Warriors who in turn are healed by Clerics.
That's the theory, at least - and if your army of happy scrappers is well-organised your plans may just come together. Too often, however, it descends into chaos, as two cel-shaded armies charge madly into each other, and only a few survive the resultant melée. Rinse and repeat until a victor is declared.
MOBA money, MOBA problems
Dying is less disastrous than in many of its peers: in fact, it happens so often on both sides that it's little more than a fleeting inconvenience. You'll level up sooner if you don't, however, which gives you quicker access to better gear.
That's assuming you don't take the easy route and pay your way to success. You can happily play without spending a penny, but it's impossible to say these purchasables don't have the potential to turn the tide of battle. That means when you lose you'll wonder whether your opponent was more tactically astute or simply more cash-rich.
Lone players need not apply: an offline campaign proves useful for learning the maps and the nuances of play, but the focus is firmly with the online game. And either way, we'd advise spending a little extra buying Awesomenauts instead.

Entertaining but limited - play before you pay

Sleeps | 6 |
Bedrooms | 1 |
Bathrooms | 1 |
Property type | cottage |
Minimum Stay | nights |
Bordering the Shavers Fork/Cheat River and the Monongahela National Forest, our cottage is truly a private, relaxing retreat.
The cottage, approx. 700 sq. feet, boasts two living areas – a bedroom and great room that can accommodate up to six people. The completely renovated Riverside Retreat has a full kitchen with stove, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, cookware, dinnerware, dish towels and utensils. The bathroom has a shower and the bedroom is furnished with a queen size bed.
The great room has an alcove with bunk beds and a comfortable pull out queen size sofa bed. A TV with cable connection, DVD player, several games and telephone are all provided. The dining area seats six easily and there are stools along the kitchen counter. On the 360 sq. foot deck overlooking the river, there are chairs, a table and charcoal grill. The Retreat is fully heated for winter and air conditioned for summer occupants.
Sheets, pillows, blankets, and towels (for bathroom use only) are provided. It is the responsibility of the lessee to provide all food, condiments, paper products, towels for outside use and charcoal for the grill.
The Riverside Retreat is built on the bank of the Shaver's Fork River. The river is well known for excellent fishing or a lazy float down stream. Across the road is the Monongahela National Forest which offers great hiking, cross country skiing, hunting and mountain biking.
The local area provides plenty of paths to hike, fish to catch and trails to bike. Horseback riding, four excursion trains, antique and art/craft shops, seven movie screens and five annual events are all close at hand. Elkins boasts its own play house, Davis & Elkins College, the Augusta Heritage Program, a rail trail and many excellent restaurants.
Seneca Rocks, Blackwater Falls and Canaan Valley State Parks, Spruce and Bickle Knobs, Dolly Sods and four ski resorts (Canaan Valley, White Grass, Snowshoe Mountain & Timberline) provide days of activities.
Minimum stay is at least two nights - longer on holiday and festival weekends. Suggest calling to discuss reservations - number listed below.
Keywords: Cottage
After a combined total of 53 years of being college administrators, we decided to get out of the rat race and settle in a beautiful, relaxing area where there was a college and the arts were celebrated. We owned a B&B just outside of Elkins for 21 years and now produce baskets and do volunteer work for the community. We love to hike with our golden retriever, bike the rail trails, the local national forest trails, the two music theaters and train excursions. We moved to Elkins thinking we would stay a few years - that was 22 years ago!
The Owner purchased this cottage in 2004
We purchased the Riverside Retreat incase we ever leave the Elkins area. We love this area and always wanted a place to come back to. We renovated the cottage into a place that we would want to live ine for six - eight months per year if we ever relocate. With such a wide variety of activites available in the area, we knew guests would love the location.
Sitting on the deck and reading or watching the water float by is one of the best benefits of the cottage. Being able to hike, fish, bike, ski, take train rides, go to concerts, rock climb and attend so many festivals just add to the benefits of the cottages location.

What is the best cereal to eat for breakfast?
Asked by sarahpeak on Jul 07, 2008
in Nutrition
I am currently eating muesli for breakfast but I am wondering if there is a better cereal to eat in the morning.
Whether your breakfast cereal is ready-to-eat or cooked, it should be made from whole grains and be low in sugar, fat and sodium, high in fiber, and free of saturated- and trans-fat. Ideally, one serving should provide about 5 grams of fiber, no more than 8 grams of sugar, 3 grams of fat, 140 mg of sodium, and have a whole grain listed as the first ingredient. Fortified cereals provide significant nutrients, but fortification not as important as whole grains. Cereals are made healthier by adding fat-free milk and fresh fruit. Use the food grades on Calorie Count to identify the healthiest cereals.

SAN DIEGO (AP) - Prosecutors want a Sacramento man who admitted to smuggling endangered fish bladders to pay the Mexican government $3 million in restitution.
The amount would put the value of each of the 270 fish bladders Jason Xie smuggled from Mexico to the U.S. at $11,375 apiece.
The U.S. Attorney's office in San Diego is seeking the amount to deter others from trafficking the swim bladders of Totoaba (toe-TWAH-bah) fish, which is only found in Mexico's Sea of Cortez.
U-T San Diego reports (http://bit.ly/1fcVViE ) the fish bladders are prized in China for their purported medicinal properties, which has contributed to the fish's critically endangered status. A dried Totoaba bladder can fetch up to $10,000 in the black market.
Court records show Xie earned about $3 million from smuggling the bladders to China.

How I Studied for the TEAS 5... HTH - page 26
Hi Everyone. I posted this in another thread. I thought it might be helpful to post this for all to see since I see so many questions on the TEAS V every day. This is a breakdown I did of all the... Read More
0Oct 31, '12 by Hunter91Made a study guide out of all the posts here, studied for about an hour a day for about month and got a 77.3%. The average for my testing group was 70%, and the national is 64.3%. I'm okay with my results. Thanks for posting all this helpful information! Good luck to all the others!
0Oct 31, '12 by MidwestBettySo when it says percentile rank- program is that meant for everyone that took the TEAS V for the same program and at the SAME SCHOOL? I have been curious about that?
1Dec 13, '12 by rafaeiaThanks for the awesome post! I used this, along with XYnurse9999's post. My goal was to get a score that was over 90%.
3 months before the test, I was nervous. I knew I needed to begin studying NOW if I wanted to do well. (for me, I need that long term studying haha)
First of all, I prayed to God because I didn't know how to start. For some reason after that prayer, I started waking up at around 5-6AM every day. Since my class started at 9AM, I decided to use this morning time to study. I also was sleeping earlier after that, so I didn't feel tired.
I started with the science portion, the most intensive one. I studied 2 pages every day. Just two pages. It's not hard when it's bite sized.
I made flashcards; I made questions out of every useful sentence in the science section. Then I did that with the other sections, studying 4-5 pages each day... cause they were easier than the science section.
I studied for around 1-3 hours each day for those months. Sure, there were some days that I didn't... but I tried my best to be consistent and show up to study. I bought the practice test A & B, and got 72% and 78% on both.
Also, I bought the ATI study guide and the McGraw practice tests. (I kept scoring around a 78-82% in the practice tests in both books Dx)
The test was last Saturday. It was alright... Then i got my score today. I got a 92%~ hurrah. All those studying paid off.
Reading, math and grammar - pretty straight forward,just go over the ATI sections and the McGraw tests, learn from the mistakes you make, so that you know what to go over. The math section was a bit tricky, had a couple of word problems... get some outside practice. It's pretty straightforward. I felt like the McGraw really helped me best in the grammar and structure section, and science of course.
Good luck everyone!! You don't get great things accomplished in a big swift step, it is the build up of small steps that really counts. Just take the first step, and keep walking. Persistence is your friend.Last edit by tnbutterfly on Dec 19, '12Kittysteve likes this. -
0Dec 28, '12 by blancazunigaOk....This might be a stupid questions....But I always read books and I always to my homework do bad in tests. I got the kaplan book for the tease v and I have reviewed it. The math freaks me out since it has al ot of geometry, and algebra problems and I am not good in math. So if I understand the way to study is take the sample test of course review your errors and basically practice the same test over and over. Kind of memorizing the test. Read the science questions and understand and take practice test over and over. And of course focus on the areas listed on the thread. This might be a stupid question but not all of us have the skill set for standardized test.
I do great on essays test but standardized test are not my thing. My gpa is over 3.5 so I am not dome.. But since I always do poorly on standardize test I am worried. I really want to be a nurse the school I am looking at only gives one chance to take the test and the scores must be over 85% or more to be considered. Since this is my second degree I can't screw it up. My last gen eds are math & stats for a bsn. Iknow hard work and prayers works too.
For direct advice email me at email@example.com
Thank You and god bless
0May 7, '13 by slightlycaffeinatedI will be taking the Teas test June 4 and currently also studying for finals... OVERLOAD but just trying to plug away at it a little each day. Thank you for posting this!
0Aug 2, '13 by LookingIntoTheFutureThank you so much!! I like when we future nurse help each other. I will post any unsaid info I come across! Thanks again!
0Sep 15, '13 by momma2luchiniThank you for this, eagles wings! Will use it as a study guide along with the ATI and MGH books. Happy studying everyone!

They are sooo cute! Glad they are fitting right in. |
- Posted by homebodymom (My Page) on Thu, May 19, 11 at 14:02
Thanks! They were both rescued from the local county shelter, so I guess they are both the cat version of "mutts"!!! The black and white (Eli) has the cutest Marilyn Monroe mark on his lip that you cant see in the pics! Had he been female I would have named him Marilyn. The medium/long haired black (Jack) is being called a Maine Coon mix by the rescue group I got them from....I guess the tufts of hair on his ears and in between his toes means something? He still has a lot of hair missing from his neck and belly, but the new hair coming in is charcoal grey. It will be interesting to see what color/colors he ends up being! |
They are SOOOOO cute - I love when people post pics like this. |
Congratulations - they are adorable! I clicked on the photo by mistake and photobucket is giving me a slide-show of your shower party. Maybe you need to move those into a different album if you mind them accessible. I always had trouble posting photobucket to GW. Someone abandoned a Maine Coon (we think the owner died) and my mom adopted her. They get big! She's a rascal. If your little guy does have MC in him, be prepared for some personality! |
Darling kitties! Our three are rescues too. Good for you! |
- Posted by homebodymom (My Page) on Sat, May 21, 11 at 15:34
Thanks again. I didn't realize about the pics- I will have to go in and fix that! Personality galore in that little MC mix. After less that 24 hrs here, he managed to get out of my daughters room, walked right up to my 96 lb dog like he owned the house!!!!! No fear in Jack at all! He and Eli are the sweetest things. We are so happy they are part of the family. |

Find out about our history, mission and corporate structure, and the way we do business.
160 million times a day, someone somewhere chooses a Unilever product.
Find out how we are making sustainability a driver of everything we do so that each time a consumer chooses one of our products, it improves their life, their community and the world we all share.
Learn how Unilever's innovations build leading brands and develop our capacity to meet consumer needs for nutrition, hygiene and personal care.
Pureit is the world's most advanced in-home water purifier and the first of its kind. It was designed by Unilever in order to purify tap water and make it "as safe as boiled water without the hassles of boiling".
Water is synonymous to life, but only when it is safe for consumption. Approximately a quarter of all diseases in Bangladesh are waterborne. Drinking unsafe water can cause fatal waterborne diseases like diarrhea, cholera, jaundice and typhoid. The number of children under 5 years of age who die annually from unhealthy water is also a staggering 34,000. With a mission to bring safe drinking water to millions of Bangladeshi consumers at an affordable cost, Unilever introduced its revolutionary water purifier – Pureit – in September 2010.
Pureit is an innovation that addresses one of the biggest technological challenges of the century – that of making safe water accessible and affordable for millions. Made with high-quality food-grade plastic, Pureit's Classic Model has a maximum capacity of 18 liters and provides water at a cost of less than 50 paisa/liter.
Pureit's GermKill™ Process removes all kinds of dirt, germs and parasites through its 4-step advanced water purification technology and the output water from Pureit meets stringent criteria for microbiologically safe drinking water from one of the toughest regulatory agencies, the US-based Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Pureit is not only revolutionary: it is the first of its kind. With the promise of giving "as safe as boiled water without the hassles of boiling", Pureit directly purifies tap water without electricity or gas, thus saving valuable natural resources. Essentially, this means that consumers no longer need to boil their water or even filter it: drinking safe water is now as easy as pouring tap water into a Pureit!

Through an enriched curriculum, you will be ready to compete and collaborate with anyone, anytime and anywhere. You will be ready to become part of the next generation of global business leaders in an ever changing world market. The Global Scholars Program is a four-year UK Honors program designed for high-acheiving, highly-motivated business students who have a passion for international business and leadership. Every student in the program will graduate with a major from the Gatton College of Business and Economics as well as a minor in international business and a semester-length education abroad experience. The program is selective and small by design. Each year Global Scholars take specially designed courses that will challenge you to excel and expand your professional horizons and help you develop strong ties with other high-achieving students.
You will be world-ready.
Mission and Goals
Our mission is to develop world-ready business professionals well-equipped to confront the challenges of a global environment through a specialized curriculum and education abroad opportunities designed to enhance any Gatton major.
-develop an appreciation of a global business perspective
-develop the ability to communicate and work effectively in diverse teams
-gain knowledge and exposure to international business practices and environments
-galvanize leadership and professional skills through scholastic excellence and community engagement
The Global Scholars Program is open to exceptional freshmen students who are seeking to develop their professional acumen and leadership skills. To be eligible for admission into the Global Scholars Program at the Gatton College of Business and Economics, incoming freshmen must have graduated with an un-weighted high school grade point average of 3.5 or above or an ACT score of 28 or higher (or SAT score of 1240 or higher). Typically, students who are admitted into the program have an unweighted GPA well above a 3.5 as well as test scores well above the 28/1240 mark.
Students who meet the above criteria are invited to apply to the program by filling out a short application form. Enrollment in the program will be limited to approximately 40 students. In addition to academic performance, each applicant will be evaluated on their past leadership experiences, interest in international or cross-cultural issues, and ability to work in team settings.
Freshman Year
Living and Learning Together
During your freshman year you will take several courses with other Global Scholars. These courses are designed to ease the transition to college, lead to self-discovery, build leadership skills, consider social issues in business, and introduce students to successful business leaders. Students will also participate in a leadership experience and service activities. Participating in these classes and co-curricular activities as a cohort will enable you to find a small, tight-knit community of talented students like yourself. Additionally, you would have the opportunity to enhance this sense of community by living in the UK Honors Program Living-Learning Program in Central Hall.

Junior Year
The International Core
In addition to completing a minor in international business, Global Scholars are required to spend no less than one semester studying overseas via a UK Education Abroad program. Most Global Scholars focus on these two requirements during their junior year. Because all successfully completed international coursework will count toward graduation requirements, many Global Scholars choose a foreign university which offers coursework equivalent to that required to complete the international business minor, but students are free to choose an approved program of their liking and may complete the international business minor while overseas or here at UK.
Senior Year
Professional Development
In the fall, you will continue preparing for the job search process, as well as honing your networking skills by participating in the Business Career Fair. This annual event is an excellent opportunity for you to showcase your strong leadership and communication skills. You will be ready to impress!

Some of the cake-mix recipes printed on the side of the box are pretty good -- usually moister than the given recipe. Found a REALLY good one on the back of a store-brand [Kroger] "Granola w/ Raisins" cereal box. It makes 5 dozen. [I added chocolate chips, mini's are best for rolling purposes, and would've added nuts, but our church has asked us not to bring food containing nuts due to allergies [the preacher's son].
GRANOLA CHEWS 1 3/4 c. flour
Stir in remaining ingredients EXCEPT CEREAL. Mix until smooth. Stir in 3 cups cereal. Form dough into 1" balls and roll in
Place 2" apart on greased cookie sheets Bake for 10-14 minutes or until golden brown. chery2 |

A dear friend who happens to be a longtime educator in our community has a warning for the decision makers in our public schools. He asks, "What is it you remember about attending junior high or high school?" He believes that very few of us would answer, "Moving from required class to required class in an orderly manner while debating strategies on how to best perform on our standardized tests." That is precisely, however, the way that school boards and administrators are viewing our public schools these days.
Like me, my friend was not a great athlete, nor was he the star in any production, but his memories are dominated by athletic events and other extracurricular activities that were a vivid part of his educational experiences. He laments the fact that budget preparers are discussing the cutting or possibly even elimination of some athletic and extracurricular activities with the justification that these programs are "nonessential."
Living under the credo, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," I've always worked for balance in my life and encouraged those under my tutelage to do the same. An understanding that all academic study is interrelated, an appreciation of art and music, strategies learned in working together for a common goal, such as putting on a theatre production, and lessons learned on the athletic field are all hugely important in the development of the human intellect.
Don't get me wrong, I am a huge advocate of a stringent academic program in our schools, one that challenges kids at every turn and encourages them to question and explore. The system we now have certainly does not accomplish this, but instead searches out the lowest common denominator so that we can cheer everyone passing the latest SOL test (Thanks, mom, for teaching me what SOL really stands for!). That, however, is a fight for another day.
Instead, today I send out a plea to all of you to support the total education of our young people. Rick Gray has it right, in that this is of immediate importance, because once a child loses out on specific educational opportunities, they tend to be lost forever. For those of you who do not have children or who have grown children, I warn you that your property values are very much dependent on the decisions we make now relative to education.
English, math, science and history do make up the building blocks of our education. The mortar that holds them together, however, can be found on the stage, in the art gallery, at the chess club meeting and on the athletic field. I'm not sure that all of our School Board members and school administrators understand this basic truth. I encourage you to step outside of your comfort zones and communicate with your elected officials. As citizens of Chesterfield County, we must demand the very best and most complete education for our precious young people. Anything less may spell doom for a county whose very foundation has been built upon its pride in the school system.

This alcohol-free toner contains polyhydroxy acids (PHA), such as gluconolactone, that are often used as alternatives to alpha hydroxy acids (AHA). The theory is that PHAs are more gentle on the skin, but research hasn't shown that to be the case, at least not to a significant degree.
Just like AHAs, PHAs require an acidic pH of 3–4 to be effective, but the pH of this toner is too high for the PHAs to exfoliate. Also unfortunate is that this toner contains a high amount of the plant irritants arnica and comfrey (the latter listed by its Latin name Symphytum officinale). What a shame, because BeautiControl also included a nice mix of beneficial ingredients—the kind you should be seeking when shopping for a well-formulated toner. As is, the plant irritants can hurt your skin's healing process and impair healthy collagen production. Please see our list of Best Toners for superior options.
Hydrating formula that replenishes skin with essential moisture and provides an anti-aging boost to your regimen. For people with normal to dry or slightly sensitive skin. Contains a blend of polyhydroxy acids that gently and effectively exfoliate dead skin cells and provide anti-aging benefits.

Texas-based BeautiControl has been around for nearly three decades and has maintained a consistent focus on skin care. Most recently they have shaped their line around the concept of creating your own in-home spa, which the company uses to entice women to host BeautiControl parties for their friends and family. Whether you find out about (or end up purchasing) these products by attending a BeautiControl party or you happen across their Web site, there are some compelling reasons to consider several BeautiControl products. Let's start with the positives.
The best face forward side of BeautiControl is that their price point is not over the top, and mostly reasonable; plus several of their products are exceptional. We also think their overall approach to taking care of skin is well-intentioned. Without question, the ingredients in their best products demonstrate they're keeping up with the state-of-the-art. If they stopped including problematic ingredients and discontinued the poorly formulated products this line would be a much stronger option for consumers looking to take excellent care of their skin while remaining brand-loyal.
BeautiControl's focus on launching more and more miracle products with incredibly misleading claims might help them sell more products, but it doesn't always make for good skin care. And how come they have so few facial moisturizers with sunscreen? Protecting skin from sunlight indisputably keeps it looking younger, firmer, smoother, and even-toned far longer than anything else you can do for skin.
BeautiControl's makeup collection has been streamlined a bit, and that's good news. The foundation colors are divided into warm, cool, and neutral tones though the warm tones (those that begin with the letter Y) are more neutral than warm, which is good news. The cool shades (those that begin with the letter P) are the least impressive. Throughout the color line are some happy surprises, such as the improved powder blush and eyeshadow trios but also some really bland products such as the eye pencil and some gimmicky primer-type products. You'll find some great products whether you want to shop BeautiControl's color line piecemeal or assemble a complete makeup wardrobe, and the prices are reasonable.

Do you receive military retired pay and VA disability compensation? You may be entitled to more. The Combat-Related Special Compensation (CRSC) was enacted to provide compensation for service members who sustained a disability in combat. Simply put, CRSC can replace the VA disability compensation that is subtracted from your retired pay. The CRSC program launched in 2003. Since then, more than half (55%) of CRSC applications have been approved. However, the Department of Defense (DOD) estimates that less than 1/3 of eligible service members have applied for CRSC.
Disability compensation is a tax-free benefit paid to disabled veterans who incurred a serious injury or disease in the line of duty. Disability compensation may be the result of a physical injury that the veteran suffered on duty, or a disease that is related to past service. For example, a veteran might receive disability compensation for a disease related to toxic exposure – even if the disease did not manifest itself until the veteran retired. At Bosley & Bratch, we believe that service members deserve compensation for their injuries. That's why our firm is dedicated to helping veterans obtain the benefits that they need.
Do you qualify for CRSC?
You must meet the following requirements in order to qualify for this program:
- Receiving military retired pay (longevity or medical)
- Military retired pay is reduced by VA disability payments
- Have a 10% or greater combat-related VA-rated disability
An injury is "combat-related" if it was incurred during armed conflict, by the instrumentality of war, in hazardous duty, or during combat training. Military training includes practice alerts, war games, tactical exercises, leadership reaction courses, grenade practice, live fire weapons practice, bayonet training, rappelling, and hand-to-hand combat training. Hazardous duty injuries occur during aerial flight, parachute duty, experimental stress duty, diving duty, and demolition duty. Instrumentality of war injuries are the result of weapons, combat vehicles, and chemical weapons. An instrumentality of war includes any vehicle or vessel that is designed for military service.
Armed conflict injuries include disabilities that were acquired in the line of duty. Armed conflict injuries include diseases and physical disabilities. The term "conflict" can refer to raids, invasion, rebellion, skirmishes, battles, expedition, and war. Additionally, conflict includes battle, etc., brought against belligerent nations, hostile nations, factions, forces or terrorists. CRSC is also available for individuals who suffered a disability as a prisoner of war. You will not qualify for CRSC unless you are a military retiree active, medically retired, or reserve duty. If you served the military for less than 20 years, you will not qualify for CRSC.
How much is CRSC worth?
The value of CRSC benefits depends on your personal circumstances, but can range between $117 per month to $2772 or more. The amount of money that you receive each month is determined by your number of dependents, your disability rating, and other considerations. To apply for CRSC benefits, you must submit your claim to you parent military branch (Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Navy, or Marine Corps).

Our team of veterans disability lawyers is dedicated to helping members of the armed forces obtain the fair benefits that they need and deserve.

In every part of our vast country you'll find unique experiences to make your dream holiday come true.
When in Hobart, make sure you visit Salamanca Place in Sullivans Cove, the city's bustling, waterfront heart. Life here in the 1830s was all about industry, but today this picturesque cobblestone square is a destination for food, art, shopping and music. Wander the galleries and relax under the sun umbrellas. Shop for fine Tasmanian craft in the Salamanca Markets and dance outdoors in the courtyard of the Salamanca Arts Centre. Here Hobart's cultural life meets its rich history.
The simple Georgian warehouses lining Salamanca Place were built in the 1830s to house grain, wool, whale oil and imported goods. Today the warehouses have been reinvented as galleries, theatres, cafes, bars and restaurants. Browse boutiques selling jewellery, fashion and urban design or meander through an underground bookstore. Enjoy a meal or refreshments beneath the stone arches that sailors, whalers and workmen once trudged beneath.
Make sure you check out Salamanca Arts Centre, a collection of galleries and arts spaces across seven heritage warehouses. See a performance in the popular Peacock Theatre, watch local artists at work in their studios or catch an exhibition. Every Friday night, the arts centre courtyard fills with the sounds of gypsy, jazz and swing music. Soak up the atmosphere at any time of year.
On Saturday this waterfront square comes alive with the vibrant Salamanca Markets. Buy a one-off piece from a local glassblower, potter, wood-worker or painter, listen to busking string-quartets or chat to growers about their organic apples. The markets showcase Tasmania's fresh produce, its unique art and craft, as well as fashion design, some bric-a-brac and antiques. Lose yourself in the friendly bustle or watch the action from the shade of the majestic plane trees across the road.
Just behind historic Salamanca Place is modern Salamanca Square, where you can sit next to the fountain and watch the people stream past. Relax at the cafes, browse the fashion boutiques or buy delectable local cheeses and home-made jams from the gourmet outlets. The manicured lawns in the square's centre are a great place to laze after a long lunch.
From Salamanca Place you can also wander to adjoining wharves, where British convicts once stumbled ashore and whalers hauled in their cargo. Nowadays the piers are lined with seafood restaurants, swaying yachts and fishing boats. On Constitution Dock you can see the huge visiting cruise ships or cheer for the wind-battered winners of the Sydney to Hobart yacht race in December.
The historic waterfront is also the venue for the Taste of Tasmania Festival, a week-long celebration of Tasmanian food and wine held over the new year. Dine on freshly-shucked oysters and succulent salmon, sample local cool-climate wines and watch the new year's eve fireworks show over Sullivans Cove.
At the hub of all this action is Salamanca Place, where Hobart's heart beats.

This is what I have been waiting for. Thank you. This app has taken my photos into new worlds with endless creative options. This is the best app on my iPhone...period. I would give it 10 stars if possible. That we are able to have this level of beauty and creativity on a phone device for less than the price of a burger is incredible. I use tons of photo apps and process images using the best of each, but this app has just raised the bar and will inspire me to go even farther in terms of how I see the world.
Bravo! ********** 10/10
I didn't know what to expect as I do not have anything else from this developer, but was pleasantly surprised with what I got. Full res support is very important to me, the results are highly customizable, and I love the variety of "canvas" to choose from.
I have all the Artista series and this is my favorite. It is exciting for me to achieve wet media effects and then fine tune them with the sliders. All of the Artista products are first rate and this is no exception.
This app works perfectly--super easy to drag a photo in, and mess with it. Gorgeous effects--having so much fun. Worth every penny. Kids will love it too but I'm not telling them about it yet or they'll hog the computer!
Then this app is for you. It makes your photos into works of art. I have two other apps that transform my photos into different art styles, but this" Ink and Watercolor" is unique and fun to play with. If you enjoy artistic photo editing, you will be pleased with this app.
Love this application does a great job with photos easy to use no editing required drag n drop perfect :)
This app is awesome..I can't stop...

Divine gets trashed! Shock new drug scandal: Alex found on bathroom floor after wild night out
QBA-W, spoke exclusively to a "friend" of the star, who wanted to remain anonymous. "I was with her the whole time," he said. "When we got home, she was happy and chatty, watching T.V. in her loungeroom. Then she suddenly said, 'I'm just going to go straight to bed, without brushing my teeth.' Then she said, 'I feel sick; I think I might try to crawl to bed.' Finally, after trying to crawl, she jumped up and ran to the toilet."
When she got to the bathroom, things got from bad to worse. Instead of just letting herself throw-up whatever was making her sick, Alex tried to stop the vomit. "She seemed kind of paranoid," her "friend" revealed. "She seemed to decide early on that she wasn't going to throw-up, and did everything she could to prevent it." Unfortunately, her attempts to swallow down whatever came up left her hyperventilating, according to pals.
Her "friend" was left laughing at some of her demands. "She asked me to read to her to calm her down," he said. Ever the diva, Alex insisted, "Nothing postmodern!" as she lay on the bathroom floor. When her "friend" needed to use the toilet, Alex apparently asked him to go outside, so she wouldn't have to move from the bowl.
Celeb-watchers are already beginning to speculate about when Alex may enter rehab.
In the hour that she spent clinging to the toilet, fighting waves of nausea, Alex became pale and shaky. She felt feverish and was unable to stop clenching her jaw and hands. Her "friend" revealed to QBA-W that she also hallucinated, explaining that, "she could hear voices of people around her, and follow their conversations. It wasn't until she opened her eyes that she realised that there wasn't anyone there, except me."
When she stopped feeling vomitous, she curled-up in the foetal position, pressing her overheated face against the cold tiles. "It was the only place she felt cool and comfortable. She refused to come back to bed for another hour and a half," her "friend" explained.
QBA-W asked Alex's father, John, for comment. He explained that her bad reaction was proof that she hadn't followed his philosophy on drugs. "I've always said that you shouldn't take anything made by criminals," he explained, when asked for comment. A big drug-taker in the 1970s, John said that he "always knew who made [his] drugs." His advice for Alex in the future is, "to stick to pot and speed, and you won't go wrong. I'm 65 now, and my brain works fine."
OK, so, despite that being a tribute to the style of "journalism" employed by my favourite trashy magazine, NW, the above story is actually what happened to me on Saturday. I thought that, because I'm such a clean-livin' gal, I should make a tribute to the repercussions of what was only the second time I've dabbled in class A drugs! Everything described is true (yes, even the bit about me going to the Lounge), and my dad really did give me that advice. That is his idea of what a drug lecture should be like, but then again he is a nutcase and seems to have no idea about what the drug scene is like in modern times. I'm thinking of hiring him out for the 'Life Education' van that goes to primary schools, as a fill-in for Harold the giraffe.
P.S. The pictures of me are based on this oh-so flattering portrait of John Mayer:
Nice catch, Jessica.
