text: Over my lifetime I have used many varieties of herbal supplements and healing synergies. I have been blessed to witness many "miracles" from alternative medicines. From my earliest beginnings I have always been associated with alternative medicines. I was raised by my mother with the philosophy that God provides humanity with everything we need to keep us healthy and happy. So when I got sick, instead of being rushed to the doctor like my friends, she would go to the herb pantry and bring forth the herbal remedy needed to assist me in my illness. As a result, I found myself generally in greater health wellness than my peers. In 1996, after being abroad for two years, I returned to I came to the conclusion that if I was going to continue using supplements and other alternative therapies I wanted to be sure that the quality I was paying for was the quality I was receiving. I decided that in order for this to happen I had to do things myself. So over the next decade I put my energies into the pursuit of building a business with integrity. My goal was to supply high quality, therapeutic healing alternatives to the general public. It is my resolve to provide the healing therapeutic supplements to our customers and build a company upon equality and integrity. Ultra Earth is founded upon our desire for quality products, integrity and teamwork. It is my personal pledge to insure the high standards of our products will be maintained. |

Original Message
The reason that most spiritual teachings have been sheltered away from the common person throughout the histroy of the world is twofold 1) the common person would gain little benefit from evolution systems in a base state lacking the prerequisite condition 2) to preserve the integrity of these systems against the possibility of a person lacking sufficient comprehension and understanding of the material yet with sufficient knowledge to contribute falsehoods and misunderstandings to the larger discourse.
The little known secret to all these practices is that they DO VERY LITTLE to NOTHING for the psychological neurosis of the mind. In fact, one of the traditional great dangers of all these systems and in the whole guru system in general is the danger of markers of spiritual progress being faked or counterfitted by the conscious mind (both with intention and without intention) and the energy freed by the various practices, instead of being applied with integrity to the system for the evolution of the spirit to meet the eternal soul, go to fuel any number of neurotic ego-driven pathologies so commonly noted in the modern world today.
With this in mind, the dangling of the promises of the spiritual systems of the world in the face of one who is suffering NOT with some greater metaphysical dilemna but in fact with the weight of their own mis-programmed (from the faults of society and family) mind DOES THE SUFFERER NO FAVORS but insteads performs the role of a spell in witchcraft to chain their emotional well-being to the attainment of some kind of magickal sigil (which can be a concept or a physical mark), depriving the person of their own power and empowering THE OTHER, whether this be a book, a meditation, an evoked diety, or the guru.
With this in mind, what the average person needs from the evolved souls is not a diatribe on spiritual evolution or the promises of the Great Work, but rather a framing of the issue of each and every person's unique life which makes their suffering SIGNFICANT and IMPORTANT to THEM, an exploration of the origins and causes of their day to day struggles and simple understandings which point to the reasons why the things which come up in the mind and in the world act the way they do upon the individual, both as a product of their own lives and a product of the larger evolutionary enterprise known as humanity.
It is through the day to day realization of the nature of the STRUGGLE, that the mind can acheive the peace it needs to give the spirit the power required to make the first infant steps on the way to the permanent relieving of suffering that comes from evolution.
Human children cannot be given a discourse on the nature of walking, they must instead be fed and protected so they can grow until they can observe enough of walking to have the ability to do it without thought, to walk towards the light as a reflex and unstoppable inate drive!

This map tells us whether countries make entering secondary education accessible to citizens by making education compulsory in the first year of secondary education.
More information:
- Compulsory education can be specified by an age range, a number of years, or a level of education during which children are required to go to school. We have looked at each of these factors, as well as national information on the length of secondary education and the standard age of beginning school, in order to create comparable information on the age until which education is compulsory.

Ever seen an inbread mouse before? |
Ever seen an inbread mouse before? |
DAI World Order |
Jun 11 2009, 05:53 PM
QUOTE A man got the shock of his life when he opened a loaf of bread and found a whole mouse inside. North Antrim Magistrates Court heard how a man purchased a Hyndman's malt loaf from a supermarket in the Ballymoney area before Christmas 2007. When he unwrapped the loaf he discovered the small lifeless mammal embedded in the base of the bread. The judge fined the company, D Hyndman and Son Ltd, Maghera, £1,000 plus costs for placing unsafe food on the market. The managing director of the company was present in court to answer the charge. A defence lawyer told the court that the presence of the mouse was a shock to the company. He suggested it might have been put in the tin to "sabotage" the baker who has been in business for 60 years and has never had any complaints. The judge was shown pictures of the mouse in the loaf. The court heard that tins in which the bread is baked were oiled the night before they were filled with dough. Pest control Some time between the tins being sprayed and being filled, the mouse got into the tin, a prosecuting lawyer said. "In fairness to the defendant they have engaged pest control services who regularly inspect the premises and did so before this incident," she said. The defence lawyer said an "onerous inspection" is held at the bakery every six weeks and that two field biologists attend each year. There are 131 bait stations in the premises at present, he said. Staff carry out daily inspections and two full-time cleaners are employed at the bakery who both work eight hours per day. In imposing the fine, the judge said he had considered public concern but also the steps taken by the company to ensure proper hygiene. mmmm tasty -------------------- "In DWO WE TRUST"

This was fun to teach and fun to learn! All the dancers ended up with a smile!

Thank you Pat and Sandra for giving us a dance just to enjoy!
Valerie Sim - 07/11/2013
Everyone in class has really taken to this dance, we've danced at every class since we learned it, the reason is because it makes you smile and is fun. I really wish there were more dances like this to teach. Well worth teaching especially for the upcoming party season.

Suzanne Sadler - 29/08/2013
Sandra taught this dance in class last week. Absolutely love it, so different. Wasn't sure about the music at first, but trust me it really does grow on you. Steps just flow, and the arm movements add to the dance. Well done Sandra and Pat, hope it does well
Denise Nicholls - 28/08/2013
I`m surprised there are no reviews for this dance considering where it is in the charts. This dance has become very popular, ok arm movements, my classes don`t do arm movements so I taught it without at first and then put them in for those that did want to do them, most of them said no, however they are starting to creep in the more confident they get with the dance, music is different, the steps do flow with the music and one restart no problem. well done Pat & Sandra

Economy's relationship to crash figures and FMCSA's debated effectiveness in reducing them
FMCSA says it conducted 3.5 million roadside inspections leading to 16,000 estimated prevented crashes. However, crash numbers have steadily risen since 2009, in spite of the efforts of the agency and its CSA program.
Paperless roadside enforcement tech debuts at Intermodal Expo
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and Intermodal Association of North America will demonstrate its paperless Driver Vehicle Examination Report Notification Service Nov. 18 at the Intermodal Expo next week in Houston, Texas.
Inspection spree puts 2,700 out of service, sees all-time OOS rate low
Of the 20,067 commercial vehicles inspected in the September-held Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance's Brake Safety Week, 2,714 were placed out of service to produce a 13.5 percent out-of-service rate.
Operation Safe Driver inspection blitz starts Sunday, runs all next week
The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance's annual enforcement blitz, Operation Safe Driver, will mobilize across North America Oct. 20-26.
Hours of service, brakes big players in Roadcheck inspection blitz violations

'e-Inspection' technology demonstrated in Maryland
Deployed by the Drivewyze bypass service provider with technology partners, hopes for so-called electronic inspections are that they'd ultimately by accepted by FMCSA as credit on a carrier's CSA profile.

The Deal: Gleacher at Decision Time
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- At Gleacher & Co.'s annual meeting May 23, shareholders in the investment bank founded by Eric Gleacher face a stark choice: liquidate the company or hand control to investment funds that may not have their best interests at heart.
Competing scenarios have been sketched out by New York-based Gleacher's top shareholder, MatlinPatterson Global Advisers LLC, in a proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday.
Those included continuing the wind down of the businesses -- Gleacher already ended the last of its trading business when it laid off about 160 staff earlier this year in closing its fixed-income operation -- and making a distribution of the proceeds to stockholders; trying to find a buyer or other business combination; or re-investing the company's cash reserves of about $45 million in opportunities, such as acquiring additional interests in FA
TechnologyVentures LP, its venture capital investment subsidiary. With another investor, Clinton Group Inc., backing out of running its own slate this week, shareholders on May 23 have few options. MatlinPatterson's director slate is all that's left in the running. If shareholders vote for those nominees, they will be betting that one of those MatlinPatterson's three alternatives will provide a better return than the one-third loss their stakes have suffered from Gleacher's 52-week high of 98 cents per share.
If shareholders withhold their approval, MatlinPatterson could still go ahead with their plans, but it might have to come clean about its valuation methods in order to forestall lawsuits. Despite setting out the alternatives, however, sources on Wall Street believe that MatlinPatterson has only one goal, in line with founder Eric Gleacher, who retains an 11% stake in the company: to liquidate the company.MatlinPatterson got its stake in Gleacher through an earlier controlling buy-in of Broadpoint Securities Inc., through which Gleacher went public in a reverse merger. But the private investment firm, known primarily for its focus on distressed companies, moved to minority status when the merger went through -- something it wasn't accustomed to, according to some with knowledge of the company.

About Helen Lester
Sometime between the age of electricity and the age of television (actually it was 1936) I was born in Evanston, Illinois. Most of my early writing was done in the form of thank-you notes at birthdays and Christmas, and was not a voluntary activity. As I grew older, however, I began to appreciate the voluminous and clever letters my parents wrote to various friends and family members, and developed a sense of what fun could be had with the written word. Still, I had no dreams of becoming a writer, only of becoming a bride. (It was the fifties.) Since no one wanted to turn me into a bride, I became a teacher.
After ten years of teaching elementary school, during which time I did become a bride, I took temporary leave of that profession to spend time with our two young sons. It was during this domestic period that several factors came into play which ultimately influenced my writing career. First, in reading bedtime stories to my children I remember being overjoyed every time I came across a story that would make me laugh, for often at 7:30 p.m. not much is funny. I decided the world needed more books that would amuse both adults and children. Second, my old second-graders came back to haunt me more about them in a moment. And finally, I backed into writing thinking I was an illustrator. I'd always enjoyed drawing, and when a friend saw my work and casually suggested I should write children's books, I thought, "Perhaps. Why not?"
My early stories were just words written around my pictures. But at last, in 1979, after I'd suffered (
is the proper word here) many rejections, my first book was published. My husband, always the cheerleader, gave me a silver bowl with the book's title engraved on it. But it wasn't until a few years later, when my editor tactfully suggested that I might be a better writer than illustrator, that I really thought of myself as a writer. Since then, with a few exceptions, I've left the art in my books to the wonderful Lynn Munsinger, who draws what I would if I could, and our seventeenth collaboration,
Tacky and the Winter Games
, will be published in the fall of 2005.
Back to my second-graders. They appear as Pinkerton the pushy pig in
Me First
, Buddy the oblivious rabbit in
Listen, Buddy
and of course I never had a class without at least one Tacky (not to mention Goodly, Lovely, Angel, Neatly, and Perfect in the wings).
In addition to writing, I enjoy visiting schools all over the country encouraging children to write. Armed with messages such as "My books don't jump out of the computer," "Not all of my stories get published," and "Being edited isn't fun but it's good for you," I've found a new form of teaching.
Author: A True Story
comes directly from my school visits, and is perhaps the book of which I am proudest. How fortunate I am to have backed into this wonderful field.
After living in New York City, San Francisco, Chicago, and Minneapolis, my husband and I have settled in our favorite village, Pawling, New York, where we tend our writing, our dog, and our empty nest.

Excellent Service
Woodland Charms Half-fold Programs I can't say enough good things about how our save the date, invitations, and programs came out. Everything came out beautiful and affordable and was super easy to customize and navigate. Turn around times were faster than I had expected. I would highly recommend to any of my friends getting married. I am so happy with the way they turned out.
The wedding program looked great!
Woodland Charms Square Tri-fold Programs Everyone loved it! The paper, imprint, and finishing looked beautiful! The free sample packaging is beautiful and helped me to choose the best paper. I was very happy and pleased with the program! The printed version looked as beautiful as the one I saw online, with no unexpected surprises. Thanks a lot!
Wedding Programs
Woodland Charms Square Programs Fast shipping, programs look better than expected, great quality paper and printing, VERY reasonable pricing. I would definitely recommend this site to a friend.
Best invite
Love in the Woods Pocket Invitations Looked at every other site. Best of everything out there. Processing time and quality was amazing. Great compliments from our guests
Exactly as designed.
Autumn Stamp Save the Date Cards Loved the Save the Date card. However, I obviously didn't look at the size. They are the size of a thick book mark. I was hoping for the size of a postcard. They however, are exactly as I designed and the colors perfect. Very happy with the Save the Date other than the size, which was my fault.

A friend of my cousin's once told me a story about something that happened to him while traveling. He had grown up in Switzerland when he was very young, moving to Italy when he was about 7 or 8. Later, he moved to the U.S., and he currently lives in Florida. Several years ago, he was traveling back to visit some family in Italy, and went through Newark, which is no doubt one of the larger and uglier airports in the U.S. And one that sees a lot of passengers.
While rushing to his gate, he ran smack dab into another traveller. While they stood, sorting things out, they realized that they knew eachother. They had gone to school together.
In Switzerland.
I suppose that sort of thing happens a lot, but it always makes my head spin. That you could bump into someone you know, far from home. I wish I could see all the decisions and occurences that lead up to two people arriving at the same place at the same time. Or see all the near-misses – the times we very nearly see someone, but don't. It plays out like a movie in my head. I take a second too long picking out a shirt to wear, and enter the grocery store through one door, barely missing a friend who leaves out another one. (more…)

The study of architecture should be for graduate programs only, says Aaron Betsky. Undergraduate education is for learning literature, history, and the cultural context in which built architecture will stand.
Aaron Betsky takes a return trip to a Michael Graves–designed library in California and finds lots to critique, but also lots to love.
English architecture students at the Bartlett, part of Central London University, and the University of Greenwich carry the torch of Archigram, Aaron Betsky writes.
From Apple's dematerialized open windows, to Abercrombie & Fitch's material window surrounds, stores in the mall try different architectural tactics to lure consumers in, Aaron Betsky writes.
Aaron Betsky tours the newly restored Tugendhat House in Brno, Czech Republic, and is reminded of Mies van der Rohe's skill as an interior designer.
At Art Basel Miami, we may find the future of architecture, Aaron Betsky says: the construction of temporary structures on liminal sites built around the notion of art.
A group of young designers and activists introduces tactical urbanism to Russia, proposing improved sidewalks, urban gardening, and community advertisement walls.
Aaron Betsky recalls a Northern European holiday tradition where Sinterklaas would arrive from Spain, and if children were bad, take them back to his home in Madrid. Now that he's grown-up, that threatening possibility of going to an unreal place sounds enticing.
As the first move toward a park with art in Moscow, the Garage arts center has opened a temporary pavilion designed by Shigeru Ban.
A modern baroque style of architecture is live and well in Japan, where Atsushi Kitagawara practices. Aaron Betsky travels to Japan to survey his work.

Reading List: Better School Lunches, "Normal" Food Allergies & Overcoming Picky Palates
by Toby Amidor in Back to School, Food News, August 21, 2009From this week's nutrition headlines: it's all about the kids — more info on how parents are contributing to the obesity epidemic, raising children with more eclectic tastes and a disturbing new video game that stars "Fat Princess."
Parent's Role in the Obesity Epidemic
If you're a parent, it's important that you buy nutritious foods, cook wisely and offer up healthy choices, but what you say to your kids also matters. Telling them "you can't drink soda or eat cookies" seems to have the exact opposite effect. According to a recent study published in the Journal of Pediatrics, girls whose parents restricted their food gained more weight than those who did not — especially those who already struggled with self control. Remember: restricting food in any manner (either by severely limiting portions or not allowing it altogether) will just make the food more attractive. Try to find a middle ground and have open communication.
School Lunches Are Scoring Higher
Does your child eat lunch at the school cafeteria? Then you'd be happy to know the recently released State of the School Nutrition report showed that school lunches are getting better grades. More than one-third of the school districts surveyed offer locally grown produce, and 91% of the districts serve salads or have salad bars. Meatless options have increased by 12% over the past two years, and about one in 10 districts don't allow peanuts at school to help reduce allergy risks. Curious about more healthy lunch initiatives? The New York Times also had a great piece reviewing some of the government programs and other initiatives that are gaining steam.
Some Food "Allergies" Are Normal
Speaking of allergies, according to a Denmark study, it's normal for young kids to be more sensitive to foods like milk, eggs and peanuts. They may show some physical reactions when eating them, but they may not actually be allergic to them. If you have suspicions, proper testing is essential. You don't want to eliminate foods or entire food groups from your kid's diet on just some anecdotal evidence — the sensitivity could pass with time.
Saving the "Fat Princess"
This "Let Them Eat Cake" Playstation game has players trying to save their princess — a.k.a. the "fat princess" — who's been captured and, as punishment, forced to eat tons of cake. You have to call upon your entire army to carry her out since she's so heavy. I've read some reviews of the game, and some folks find the premise funny. I just don't see any humor in it. What sort of message is this sending? That it's a punishment to be obese? That it's funny to need an army to carry you? This is definitely a game I won't be adding to my son's collection.
Kids with Big Palates
Ever think your kid would chow down on a roasted broccoli with garlic pizza? What about steamed clams? This Miami Herald article examines how some parents get their kids to eat more "grown up" dishes. Did you know that studies show that one predictor of your future diet is what you ate at age 2? If you don't continue to offer up a new food even after one or two rejections, you're giving up too soon. Studies show that you need to expose a child to something new eight to 12 times before they accept it.

I am not yet a parent, but when I was a kid I was given a plate of food, and I ate it. I wasn't asked if I wanted some of this or some of that, and never would've thought to say I don't like this or that. While I'm all for democracy, sometimes children don't need to put in a position to choose or not choose – as a parent one should make healthy choices for them. By the way I can't think of any food (except for organ meat), especially fruits and vegetables that I don't like… I developed a taste for them because I was given them as kid. I know it can be difficult and time consuming to always cook meals; this site has a lot of good advise for buying the best prepackaged healthy foods when your low on time.
As a dietitian, I agree that parents should make healthy choices for their kids, however often the parents aren't there to choose for kids, like at school, and these days kids are given choices in the lunchroom, not just served a plate of food. That's why it's important for parents and teachers to teach kids basic nutrition principles and how to make the healthiest choices. Check out my recent blog post, What's For Lunch?, to see some of my tips http://bit.ly/S9ma7
I guess I'm fortunate, I like to eat a lot of green things, & thus serve a lot of green things. I also made most of my daughter's baby food (not all, life catches up with you). As a result, freshly sauteed baby spinach is something she fights for. Fresh steamed asparagus, broccooli & cauliflower are favorites. I admit, getting her to take that first bite of spinach took some finagling (@2 yrs old), but she loved it. Today, 2 of her favorite meals are: Pepperoni & spinach pizza; and Scrambled eggs w/ sauteed baby spinach topped with smoked gouda cheese. The bonus: these are fast meals to make! But honestly, I think that the only reason she eats them is because I eat them. My neighbors kids gobble up the vegetables at my house, but not at their own.

Kansas representative Moran says health care is No. 1 issue

The Hutchinson News
Health care -- its accessibility and affordability -- is the No. 1 domestic issue facing the country, in the opinion of U.S. Rep. Jerry Moran, R-Kan.
With Congress in its August recess, Moran visited Hutchinson on Monday to address the Hutchinson Rotary Club and attend the ribbon-cutting at the new home for PrairieStar Health Center.
The community health center serves the uninsured and underinsured. It acquired more space in July, as a result of its move to remodeled quarters at the Trade Center, 1600 North Lorraine.
This spring, PrairieStar obtained the coveted federally qualified health center designation, which will bring more than $500,000 in annual support.
That will reduce PrairieStar's financial reliance on Hutchinson Hospital corporate network, which had given more than $6 million to PrairieStar since its inception in the early 1990s, according to PrairieStar executive director Sally Tesluk.
Tesluk handed out kudos to Moran and Hutchinson Hospital's president Gene Schmidt, but they redirected the praise to the PrairieStar staff.
Moran, a Hays resident, said his congressional district contains 75 hospitals -- more hospitals than any other district in the country. Community health centers such as PrairieStar give the uninsured a better alternative than the hospital emergency room for receiving care.
On another health-related topic, Moran expressed concern about the adverse effect on small-town pharmacists because of approaching changes in reimbursements for drugs for Medicaid patients.
Moran, along with other Kansans serving in Congress, is trying to prevent reimbursements from falling below pharmacists' costs.

A short, semi-fictional play about Orlando forward, Tobias Harris, who's out indefinitely with an ankle injury.
- Stan
- Rony
- Bus driver
- Tobias Harris
Act I:
A country road halfway between Jacksonville and Orlando abutting a bus stop late at night. Rony is lying on a concrete bench nursing a hangover. Stan is looking him over morosely.
Rony: Ugh.
Stan: (Shakes him.) Wake up. I need to rest my legs.
Rony: Wha—Who are you?
Stan: Stan.
Rony: Any relation to Stan Van G—
Stan: Who? No. Can you please move over so I can sit down? The bus isn't coming until 2 p.m. and I've been on my feet all day. (This was a lie.)
Rony: Right, sure. I've had a lot to drink, so please no more shaking.
(Stan sits down, and within five minutes, Rony is fast asleep on Stan's shoulder. He tries to wiggle him off, but only succeeds in waking Rony up.)
Rony: What the hell is your problem, mister? I'm just trying to get some shut-eye.
Stan: I've got to pick up a very important person for work soon, and I can't have your drool on my shirt. (He points to a splotch of dark brown on his collar.)
Rony: Oh sorry, I can't breathe through my nose, so I drool a lot. Not as much as some of the Magic cheerleaders make me, though. (Laughs.) Know what I mean?
Stan: I do, but it's uncouth.
Rony: What's uncouth?
Stan: Nothing.
Rony: Do you like the Magic? (Glances at Stan's clothes.) The Magic are a basketball team in Orlando.
Stan: I know. I work for them.
Rony: Oh WOW. Nice to meet you. (Grabs Stan's hand and and shakes it aggressively.)
Stan: (Pointedly wipes hand on shirt sleeve.)
Rony: What do you do? (Assesses his outfit.) I'll bet you're in the marketing department, or you look after the books?
Stan: (Stan was an accountant, but he didn't like the implication, so he lied.) No, I arrange travel for players and do the leg work when they need to be picked up or transported somewhere for a team event near Orlando.
Rony: So you're a lackey?
Stan: No. (More angry.) It's an important position. (… one where I am compensated handsomely and which affords me a certain amount of respect within the organization and from the public at large, he didn't add, but wanted to.)
Rony: Awesome man. (Attempts to slap five with Stan and is met with a blank stare.) Do you know Tobias Harris? Where has he been?
Stan: (Chuckles to himself.) I'm actually waiting for the bus to go see him. (This was true, but Stan normally didn't participate in these little rendezvous and only agreed when no one else could be found. He was actually very nervous about meeting Mr. Harris.)
Rony: Huh?
Stan: I'm meeting with him to see about his ankle. He's visiting a specialist in Jacksonville, and I'm going to escort him back.
Rony: Why don't you just drive there? You can probably afford it.
Stan: My car broke d—
Rony: Wait, did you say an ankle specialist?!
Stan: (Confused.) Yes, so?
Rony: Is there something wrong?
Stan: No, um, what do you mean?
Rony: I've been waiting for Tobias Harris all my life. He's going to lead the Magic back to the big time.
Stan: …
Rony: You don't think he's legit? (Rony was beginning to think Stan was a fraud, but he didn't say so, since he himself felt like a fraud a lot of the time.) He's got everything, length, he's athletic, and he can shoot — or at least I think he can shoot. Not much sample size, you know?
Stan: I guess not. (He guessed.)
Rony: A half-season ain't much to go on, you know? His Synergy numbers are OK, I guess, but I'd like to see him improve his shooting. He sometimes makes me think of J.R. Smith.
Stan: I guess so. (He guessed.)
Rony: I'm not really a big fan of his defense. He can ball watch and when he hedges into the lane, he can rush out slow if the ball skips a guy on the perimeter.
Stan: I'm busy—
Rony: But ….
Stan: Rony. I'd like to go over my papers.
Rony: What for?
Stan: It's important.
Rony: Why is it important? When you get down to it, we're all gonna die. Looking at your papers is a bit meaningless and absurd, amirite?
Stan: Now I'm worried you're a drug addict.
Rony: Whatever Stan. I'm just trying to talk basketball — your business by the way — and I bring up Tobias Harris, all 6-foot-8 of him with those long arms and that smooth jumper, even if he only shot 31 percent from deep last season, because we're stuck here.
Stan: ENOUGH! I don't know anything about basketball, I was just loathe to admit that to you, and—
Rony: WHOA! Stan, I don't get all the fancy dialogue. Loath? I know Zach Lowe, but not loathe. How do you not know about basketball? Aren't you waiting for Tobias Harris here?
Stan: I am, I suppose, but I don't even know what he looks like. According to you, he's more than 10 feet tall and shoots lightening bolts from his fingertips if a defender impedes his progress to the rim.
Rony: Not quite. He is big, though. At 6-foot-8, he can see over the defense pretty well, and he's got quality handle for a guy that size. Maybe not LeBron-esque, but enough to get to the bucket past the vast majority of power forwards.
Stan: I know LeBron, the rest of that was nonsense.
Rony: This is a nonsensical world, my friend.
Stan: We're not friends, more like mismatched acquaintances shipwrecked on the shores of happenstance. But what is Synergy, and why do the numbers associated with it deem Tobias as just OK?
Rony: I like where you're headed, and it's really the dischord that drives a lot of NBA analysis these days. Do you go with your gut or empirical data driven by numbers? Do you rely on subjective impressions after watching games or objective graphs that trace progress and the game's fluctuations sans ambiguity?
Stan: Can you give me an example that won't make my head hurt as much as your whiskey-addled brain?
Rony: That reminds me, where is my hat?
A newsie cap sits in the dirt a couple meters behind the concrete bench where both men are now sitting. It's filled with a smart phone and a bottle of indeterminate whiskey one-third of the way filled.
Stan: There's one right there, but it's encased in dirt.
Rony: MY PHONE!!! Now I can show you what the NBA is all about.
Stan: Who says "all about" these days? Isn't that just a subjective reference on whatever you have aligned with humanity's brief time on this mortal coil?
Rony: I think basketball is part and parcel all about life, music, books, songs, and the rest of that claptrap.
Stan: You sound like a mediocre middle school poet.
Rony: Some would say the same of back-up point guard E'Twaun Moore's jumper.
Stan: But what good is any of this if we don't ever see Tobias? I've got half a mind to trudge back to the nearest gas station to figure out what's going on. He should be here by now.
Rony: There's never enough time in the world. Some Magic fans have gone through an entire generation with barely a whiff of the Larry O'Brien trophy.
Stan: Who is Larry O'Brien?
Rony: It's not important, and you wouldn't understand if I told you. In fact, most NBA fans — without the ability to Google — would have no idea who Lawrence O'Brien is. Wait, how do you spell that? (Walks over, picks up the phone and it's dead.)
Stan: (After seeing the phone, and interjecting before Rony can tell him.) Death isn't something to expound on past the simple explanation that the 20 or so grams that comprises your spirit is now an undulating energy force ricocheting across the galaxies. In Dante's epic ecclesiastical terms, it's purgatorio, but I like to think it's one long water bed ride where everybody has a goofy expression of bliss and anxiety intermingled on their faces.
Rony: Didn't you accuse me of being on drugs earlier? Also, that last part sounds like every Jordan Crawford and Nick Young play where they don't get to shoot.
Stan: (Waves the latter comment away to answer the former.) I did, but we're all drunk off the elixir of life. Some just blow a lower BAC.
Rony: I'll say. (Sips from nip stashed in his jacket.)
Fade to black as Rony and Stan both fall asleep on each other's shoulders.

AquaCarb® CX Enhanced Coconut Shell-Based Activated Carbon
Source: Evoqua Water TechnologiesEvoqua introduces AquaCarb® CX Series coconut shell-based activated carbon, an alternative choice to coal-based carbon for removing disinfection byproducts and tastes/odors from surface waters and high performance VOC removal in groundwater sources.
Evoqua Water Technologies introduces the AquaCarb® CX Series coconut shell-based activated carbons, an addition to the company's Westates® carbon product line for the North American market. The product can be considered as a performance alternative to coal-based activated carbon for surface water treatment, where taste and odor removal, disinfection byproduct (DBP) or DBP precursor removal, or bulk organic and total organic carbon (TOC) removal are required.
AquaCarb® CX Series carbons have the high microporous structure of coconut shell-based carbon combined with the faster kinetics of bituminous coal-based carbons, resulting in excellent volatile organic carbon (VOC) removal capacity, while also working well in applications where bituminous coal-based carbons have historically been the preferred choice. Our studies have shown that AquaCarb® CX Series carbons exhibit a higher adsorption capacity than coal-based carbon for surface water treatment, with greater throughput before carbon breakthrough. The result is a lower lifecycle cost for the customer, and a lower cost for complying with DBP regulations and managing taste and odor issues.

text: Ok first of all they are not known at all anymore as guards. That term is very outdated. The correct term is Correctional Officer because they do way more than just "guard" and second, if you want to be a correctional officer, some states require no schooling at all and in others you will only need to attain an associates degree in corrections which is a two-year course at a tech school. you may go on to get your bachelors but it is not necessary.

Honestly, I am so back and forth with this powder. I have had it for about three years now. This is because I originally purchased a light shade and then decided it was too light and purchased a darker shade. When venturing to other make up products, I used the lighter shade as a concealer and when wearing this alone I used the darker shade that was a better match.
There are many tips and tricks I can share about this powder because I've been wearing it for so long. If it is too powdery or cakey looking on you, there are 2 options to fix this. One is to get your facial moisturizer, rub some between your hands, and press/pat your hands onto your face over the powder (be careful not to use a rubbing motion or it will smear the make up, just press into your face). I like doing this in the winter when my skin is dryer and more welcoming of extra moisturizer. If you'd like, you can use a sheer matte finishing powder after this process to keep shine away. I sometimes do or sometimes don't depending on if I mind the dewy look. The second option to fix cakey/powdery look is better for oily skin and in hot whether. I use a setting spray over the powder when I'm done with it. Originally I used E.L.F.'s setting spray, but the formula breaks me out. Now I have water in the E.L.F. bottle that I use instead.
For those that find this powder does not control oil adequately, I find that using a sheer matte finishing powder works wonders. I currently use Everyday Mineral's finishing powder (because I bought a kit from them and I want to use it up, it's not spectacular but it does the job). There is Rimmel Stay Matte for $3 at Walmart, there is the $5 Palladio rice-powder that is at Sally's Beauty Supply/Ulta that a friend of mine raved about, and there is the $6 E.L.F. studio HD powder which I've also heard is great. I, personally, will be trying out the E.L.F. powder when I am through with what I have. I prefer to press the powder onto the face for a good finish with a flat-top brush.
For those that want to have more coverage, but only want to use this powder on the face, the method that works best for me is to buff 2 layers of this powder onto my face. Then, I take a small brush (not a concealer brush, but a small, round-top, dense brush by EcoTools that came in a set) and concentrate this powder on my problem areas only. I buff it over each blemish and under my eyes. This method makes this product a full-coverage product for me. If I need it, I also use Physician's Formula green concealer stick on blemishes to even out the redness.
Sometimes I go a couple of months with this powder with little to no break outs and I am extactic. Sometimes I break out while using this powder although I cleanse my face twice a day, exfoliate, and use a clay masque.Lately the latter has been the case. I believe this could be because my powder has been expired for quite a while. I bought it on sale because it was going to expire within a few days of purchase. I am contemplating buying a new jar to see if using a non expired powder changes anything.
PROS: Cruelty free, great coverage for a mmu, lasts a long time, not very expensive, controls oil, may not beak out the skin, great rating on www.ewg.org , no harmful ingredients/chemicals, spf.
CONS: Very matte (no light-reflective properties which can diminish the look of blemishes), messy application, doesn't last on the face for a long time, need to apply it certain ways to get certain effects.
I have changed...
Overall Rating from 4 to 3 (3 = it's okay)
Price to 2 (you can buy them in bulk from Overstock/Sears. $20 for 4)
Would I repurchase from yes to no.
This powder does give great coverage, does have good ingredients, does promote organic farming (even if it's just a little), and does contain a TON of product in the jar. However, I can no longer wear this foundation. It makes me sad, really. The first jar of it I purchased I used up just fine. My skin was healing! The second I bought, I began breaking out. But I didn't notice it so much because I used the second jar and first jar pretty much interchangeably. Now that I have purchased 4 new jars (the bulk sale) I have found that this does break me out with cystic acne and some white heads. This just sucks, because I felt safe with this make up. But hey, people can develop allergies/reactions at any point in their lives. I guess my skin is more sensitive now or something. I still recommend that others try it, because it was great to me. Regrettably, e will never be able to be life partners, though.

This was my first loose powder. It lasted for a decent amount of time. The coverage was good. I bought this in buff beige, but it was too light for me. It's not cakey. It has a weird smell to it, but it's bearable. Didn't make me break out though. The brush is scratchy and rough. Would not repurchase.

I was so happily surprised with this! i was looking for a new Mineral Foundation powder for work. I had been using mineral powders for work purely for my skin. I have never been a mineral power fan, it just doesn't cover enough. I just used it for my skins sake.
After buying this Powder in a sale I have to say it really is the BEST! it really actually covers and makes my face look flawless... its my new fav! im so glad i found it.. I even wear this on weekends.... what a find!

I bought this for $15 CDN and I thought that since it was a brand that I generally liked and it was an organic product, that it would be a steal, but there are just so many things with this product I make me dislike it :I However, I gave it 3 lippies because the concept is great and it's organic, and it makes your skin feel smooth, but it stops at that for me.
The brush it comes with is bad and you really shouldnt depend on it, I suggest investing in a really good brush :) the annoying thing is, you cant get to the product without opening the lid that holds the brush. It's just complicated and unnecessary, but it;s nice of them PF to offer a brush with the product instead of an even crappier sponge/puff :)
My last issue is the smell...oh gosh, I cant even describe properly how bad mine smelt..Maybe I got a pot that's almost expired or something, but I would say the product smelled like dried animal dung or something, it smelled so bad I couldnt put it near my face! I know it doesnt cake and has a really fine and soft texture because I tested it on my hand over some BB cream, and when I noticed the smell, I just put a bit by itself on my other hand, and oouf, it really was the powder's fault.
Due to the smell, I cannot say if its staying power and oil control are good or not, but if you do decide to buy it, I hope yours did not smell as bad as mine did...into the trash it goes!

I did not like this product much at all.. This was almost as bad on my skin as the tinted moisturizer! It did not give me the coverage I wanted, it melted off my face, and the powder got everywhere! I did, however, use this on top of another foundation and found that it worked better that way, but it still did not hold up the oil control at all. It still came off my face way too easily. Overall, the only thing I liked about this product was that it did not irritate my skin and it did a decent job evening out my skin. Other than that, I would not buy this again.

I love this product! I remember I puchased it one day when I was looking for a good everyday loose powder and my friend saw it and conviced me to by it even though it was kind of expensive. I had Sheer Cover before and that was my first expeirience with loose powder and it was awesome, but it didnt last long. I got home and wanted to use it right away and I noticed that it just came with this little brush so I came up with the idea of using my old brushes from my Sheer Cover set because it had come with a little soft brush for "problem areas" and a bigger one for full coverage and blending. So I used them and the Organic Wear covered so nicely and it hid all of my little blemishes beautifully! I couldnt see them at all! It worked better than my Sheer Cover! I was in shock. My roomate also saw how well it was working and she went out and bought it and loves it too! This product also lasts forever. I bought it over a year ago and there is still more than half of it left! The only thing I would do if your going to get it is to get a little "touch up" brush for problem areas. Other than that this is an awesome product and one of the best puchases I have ever made!

nothing works better to hide my pimples or discoloration. this also lasts all day. it's amazing. i don't even need to use a concealer or foundation with it, it covers everything. it's also alll natural, which i love. so it doesn't make me break out. i've slept with this on before, and it was still perfect the next morning, and didn't break me out. whenever i fall asleep with other foundations or powders on, i'm not so happy with what i see the next morning. thank you, so much, for making this product. i'll continue to buy it forever.

Poor oil control, poor staying power. I bought this at Winners (Canada) at a discounted price, or I would be annoyed. The brush is crap, and the powder smells funny. I'm still using it to help set my eye makeup as I'm too cheap to throw it out, but I will look for a better product

- Beautiful air-brushed finish
- Impressive coverage
-Innovative packaging with mini brush and mirror
- You get a lot of product, like A LOT
-makes your face whiter in photos with flash
-mediocre lasting power
-over-applying leads to cakiness, so this is not a powder that you can layer
-low to mediocre oil-controlling powers (BIG NO NO for me)
Would I repurchase? No, I've oily skin so I look for powders that are long lasting & keep oilies at bay without need for too many touch-ups. This doesn't do that. I gave it 4 instead of 3 stars because the finish it gives is great (even if its lasting powers aren't)

I got this over a year ago. I still have half the product left in the container, so although its a little expensive, it definitely lasts a LONG time. I remember I was using bare naturals by loreal (i think) and I had to get a new one every couple of months since the product ran out.
The brush in this product is terrible. I would use a different brush for sure. It's not soft and the brush will not give you even coverage. Also, the packaging of the powder is a little strange. It comes with a lid and then a smaller piece that fits in where the powder comes out..if that makes any sense at all. I completely ditched the lid and just use the smaller piece. I havent had any spillage when I've been traveling at all, so it's pretty good. I definitely wouldnt pull it out like I saw some people doing on youtube. Also, the part where you get the powder out of is pretty large, so your whole brush will fit in, which is really nice.
I really like the powder since it has a kind of pinky-hint to it. I'm as pale as it gets, so the pinky-hint kind of gives me some extra color that I really need. I have it in translucent medium organics.
It's not going to give you full full coverage, but it works really well over a foundation color that is kind of bland. It gives you the necessary "natural" looking color you need.
I am definitely going to repurchase. I think its one of the better loose powders out there on the market.
